<p class="">Displacement, rupture and transformation increasingly characterise the nature of 21<sup class="">st</sup> century belonging and space, with important implications for identities, change and resistance. Despite the ‘liquid’ nature and fluidity of
such movement, we are also witnessing struggles to reinscribe prevailing privilege and power relations. As nations and communities deal with mass migration, economic displacement and environmental impact, a variety of responses to crisis and resistance are
emerging. Political communities and identities, which are organised non-hierarchically and defy territory, making use of virtual spaces, offer new ways of thinking about change, community and belonging. At the same time, we are also witnessing the revival
of borders and the use of physical and virtual space to control and contain such impulses. From new cartographies and geographies, to different flows of life and modalities of organisation, space and place are constantly being revised and reinvented.</p>
<p class="">In this symposium, we analyse the problems and possibilities that emerge from these configurations in order to consider resistance and modes of identity and belonging.</p>
<div class=""> <br class="webkit-block-placeholder">
</div>
<p class="">We invite papers that address following themes from an interdisciplinary perspective:</p>
<ul class="">
<li class="">The politics of <strong class="">privilege, displacement and boundary-making</strong>: this can include urban design and built environment, architecture, political economy, security, and other fields</li><li class=""><strong class="">Space, borders and belonging</strong> at the local, national or global scales, including the digital and non-material, as well as radical geographies which respond to mass migration, urban diversity and the reconfiguration of political
space</li><li class=""><strong class="">New meanings of community</strong>: this can include new strategies of cultural identity and resistance, new solidarities, and possibilities for belonging.</li></ul>
