Sharing and occupying the public space of the gentrified neighborhood: a reading of Jacques Rancière - INRS (Montreal -Canada) - Round table (hybrid) May 18, 2022 (registration)

(Calenda announcement 991769)

A scene on which the paradox of a constrained access to housing and a shared occupation of public space occurs. Three terms from Jacques Rancière's conceptual landscape help us to circumscribe the scene of gentrification misunderstanding: the sharing of sensibility, the equality of intelligences and dissensus.
