19th International Symposium
of the Institute for Urban Humanities
The Institute for Urban Humanities of the
University of Seoul is organizing an international symposium called
“Rethinking gated communities in the digital polis: spatiality, identity, and
humanity”, which will take place on 20th, May, 2022. The symposium
aims to enrich existing theories and diversify the geographical focus of the
extant research on gated communities in the digital built environment. Particular
attention will be drawn to conceptualization of alternative spatiality and its
application for interpretation of digitally-connected but also -gated urban
communities from the Global North/ West and Global South/ East contexts. We
welcome both theoretical reflections and empirically grounded case studies to
decode the identity of contemporary fortress cities and gated communities in
the digital era. We invite contributions from both the Global North/ West and
the Global South/ East to enable cross-case dialogues and comparisons beyond the
local data silos. Please refer to the attached digital poster for details.
