The “Producing the “ordinary” city” and “Mobility” Work-Packages of the LabEx DynamiTe invite Ms Ana LANNA and Mr Renato CYMBALISTA, Professors at the University of São Paulo, for a period of one month between November and December 2015.
This invitation is the result of a collaboration between the two Work-Packages. It is perfectly in line with the research they conduct. Indeed, the work of the two visiting professors focuses on the transformation of the surrounding neighborhoods of São Paulo, both in terms of the dynamics at play and the role of the migrants in these dynamics.
Ana LANNA and Renato CYMBALISTA will take part in the first study day co-organized by the two Work-Packages, entitled “International migration, internal migration and genesis of the city. The formation of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro surrounding neighborhoods, late nineteenth – early twentieth century”. It falls within the framework of a Franco-Brazilian interdisciplinary research program (TRAME) on the metropolitan transition in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro at the turn of the twentieth century, funded by the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) (International program for scientific cooperation – PICS 2015-2017).
In addition to this study day, Ana LANNA et Renato CYMBALISTA will also give conferences and several classes, within the Universities Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne and Paris Diderot.
