这次研讨会为权力、政治、重要性和城市工程之间的关系开辟了新的批判性见解和分析视角。在这样做的过程中,它展示了工程师在城市日常生活的生产和谈判中的核心作用。与经常宣称的技术官僚行为工程相反,本次研讨会的撰稿人认为,通过工程师的无数技术、例行公事、标准和愿景来组装和编排城市,与更广泛的社会文化、物质和政治城市动态和过程密不可分。这就需要调查与城市工程相关的多重和相互竞争的社会想象、知识形式和专业知识制度。研讨会的五篇文章跨越了地理学、人类学、工程学和历史学的学科背景,集中了对工程师形象的分析和实证关注,以及巴黎、孟买、新加坡和伦敦等城市的工程工作。我们认为,工程学是一种诊断方法,用于探索不断变化的调解形式,这些形式活跃并栖息着当代城市变化的动态。因此,专题讨论会为城市研究开辟了一条跨学科和跨区域研究的新途径,同时也提出了对城市转型和辩论进行概念化的创新方法。
This symposium opens up new critical insights and analytical perspectives into the relationships between power, politics, materiality and urban engineering. In so doing it demonstrates the central role of engineers in the production and negotiation of everyday life in the city. In contrast to the technocratic exercise engineering often professes to be, the contributors to this symposium argue that the assembling and choreography of cities through the myriad techniques, routines, standards and visions of engineers is inextricably bound up with broader socio‐cultural, material and political urban dynamics and processes. This necessitates investigating the multiple and competing social imaginations, forms of knowledge and regimes of expertise associated with urban engineering. The symposium's five articles, straddling disciplinary backgrounds in geography, anthropology, engineering and history, focus analytical and empirical attention on the figure of the engineer and on the work of engineering in the cities of Paris, Mumbai, Singapore and London. Engineering, we suggest, is a diagnostic for probing the shifting forms of mediation that animate and inhabit contemporary dynamics of urban change. The symposium thus opens up a new avenue for cross‐disciplinary and transregional research for urban studies while also suggesting innovative ways of conceptualizing urban transformation and contestation.
