Justice Theory Lab7,5 CREDITS • 1NOV–6 DEC 2019
The concept of social justice has become very fashionable in urban policy documents as well as in urban development projects in the national and global context (or at national and global level).
However, how it is conceptualized, operationalized and sustained is often obscure, meanwhile there is growing empirical evidence pointing at an increase in negative urban social phenomena (increasing segregation, exclusion, and inequalities).
From socio-spatial theories and empirical studies, we know that social and spatial phenomena are co-constitutive; and planners and designers as decision makers have roles in formations of those phenomena and of the asymmetrical power structures (those resulting in segregation, exclusion, and inequality, as well as in those offering solutions to these problems) in space.
the course will Explore the difficult yet fundamental questions about how we (policy makers, academics, practitioners, citizens) understand justice; how we build chains of reasoning and make decision; and how we interpret our own subjectivity in our roles in planning and design processes are seldom asked – tracing back to the theoretical histories of the concept of justice in different fields (political philosophy, law, sociology, cultural studies, psychology, literary theory, semiotics, urban studies, geography, planning and design) and it will examine them using the materials and knowledges related to a real project.
The course content is built around three components: Exploration of theories of justice; Analyzing situations; Sense of ‘self ’, ‘others’ and ‘society’.
The course will be held with seminars, studio works and workshops, and excursions.
