Housing and Housing Politics in European Metropolises
Neoliberal paradigms and the privatisation of housing have recently been confronted with social movements in many large European metropolises. The political and social need for more participation in housing, for new forms of urban land politics and for specific and powerful rental regulation is obvious. The special book section analyses these dimensions of housing and housing politics in a comparative European perspective and discusses new policy approaches for urban housing. Furthermore, the Jahrbuch StadtRegionoffers scientific articles and reports, as well as a monitoring section and book reviews related to interdisciplinary urban research and planning issues.

Wohnungsfragen ohne Ende?!
Städte und Regionen sind mit einer Vielzahl an Wohnungsfragen konfrontiert: In wachsenden Metropolregionen und Mittelstädten in Deutschland steigen Mieten und Bodenpreise seit Jahren. Andernorts fehlt es vor allem an bedarfsgerechtem Wohnraum. So wird es für weite Teile der Bevölkerung von einkommensschwachen Haushalten bis zur Mittelschicht, für Studierende oder Senior/-innen immer schwieriger, bezahlbaren und angemessenen Wohnraum zu finden. Dabei ständen durchaus geeignete Politiken und Instrumente für eine sozial gerechte Wohnraumversorgung zur Verfügung. Im Buch diskutieren Autor/-innen aus Wissenschaft, kommunaler Praxis und sozialen Bewegungen »Ressourcen für ein Recht auf Wohnen« in vier Bereichen: Sie schauen auf die Nutzung städtischen Bodens, die Rollen der Wohnungswirtschaft, das Potential der Rekommunalisierung von Wohnraum und die Ausprägung von Wohnungsfrage(n) jenseits (groß-)städtischen Wachstums.
Architecture, Materiality and Society
This collection focuses on the interrelation of architecture and society. It examines the extent to which the insights of science and technology studies can be used to analyse the role of architecture in and for social life. The book's case studies deal with various aspects of social life: ethics, neighbourhood life, aging, perceptions and interpretations of the built environment, participation in design processes, interaction with and the adaptation of architecture. Architecture, Materiality and Society examines the question of whether architecture – and thus materiality as a whole – has agency. The book concludes with a thorough analysis of studies carried out so far on the interdependence of architecture and society, both from the field of science and technology studies and urban studies. Finally, it proposes a theoretical and methodological approach on how to research architecture's agency within society.
(In)visible Acts of Resistance in the Twilight of the Franco Regime
Which everyday practices allowed women to sustain and fulfill individuality and agency under dictatorial rule? This book adds to a rich scholarship on the history of late Francoism and the transition to democracy in Modern Spain through the lens of oral history and life writing. Aurora Morcillo tells the stories of anonymous individuals from both student and working class backgrounds - crucial sites of active resistance against the dictatorship at the time - and provides an interdisciplinary feminist analysis of the inevitable modernization of Spain in the 1960s and 1970s. This study uncovers a Deleuzian rendition of historical unfolding/becoming rather than simply being a collection of oral histories: a historical narration which proposes to be a creative historical ontology.

CALL and professionalisation: short papers from EUROCALL 2021
The 2021 EUROCALL conference engaged just under 250 speakers from 40 different countries. Cnam Paris and Sorbonne Université joined forces to host and organise the event despite the challenging context due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Originally programmed to be held on site in the heart of Paris, France, the EUROCALL organising team and executive committee agreed to opt for a blended and then for a fully online conference. The theme of the 2021 EUROCALL conference was “CALL & Professionalisation”. This volume, a selection of 54 short papers by some of the EUROCALL 2021 presenters, offers a combination of research studies as well as practical examples fairly representative of the theme of the conference.
