Descripción del proyecto
Política moral y austeridad urbana
El auge de prácticas y valores políticos opuestos a la construcción de una sociedad sostenible e inclusiva es uno de los mayores desafíos a los que se enfrenta el proyecto europeo hoy en día. A medida que las zonas urbanas se convierten cada vez más en lugares de contestación política, en los que se aplica la austeridad a la vez que se oponen a ella, los problemas más amplios, como la justicia intergeneracional, la redistribución, la solidaridad y la ciudadanía, se transforman en conflictos concretos. El proyecto CHAMP, financiado con fondos europeos, estudiará cómo la moral ayuda a construir y a mediar las demandas políticas. El proyecto explorará las bases morales de la crítica centrada en la política de alojamiento de Irlanda, Portugal y el Reino Unido, casos nacionales urbanos que han suscitado diferentes respuestas respecto a la austeridad. Para ello, desarrollará un marco analítico interdisciplinario e innovador.
Objetivo
"CHAMP is a proposed training partnership between Dr Adam Standring, Professor Jonathan Davies and the Centre for Urban Research on Austerity (CURA) at De Montfort University (DMU), Leicester, UK. The rise of political values contrary to the aims of the European project is one of the great challenges of our time. The proposed Fellowship would be the first of its kind in examining the way morals construct and mediate political demands, from where moral critiques emanate and how they are legitimized. By exploring the moral foundations of critique, the Fellowship will develop novel perspectives on how European goals of social inclusion and sustainable societies can be achieved. Building on Dr Standring's work on anti- politics and Professor Davies' research on urban austerity, this project constructs an innovative interdisciplinary analytical framework. This framework is applied to a specific policy area especially suited to a moral critique - housing - in three countries producing different responses to austerity - the UK, Ireland and Portugal. As urban areas become sites of political contestation, fundamental in the implementation and resistance to austerity, broader political issues such as intergenerational justice, redistribution, solidarity, citizenship and community resilience are distilled into concrete conflicts. In delivering this project, the Fellow will benefit from De Montfort University's outstanding research training programme, and the field leading expertise of Professor Jonathan Davies and the CURA team. The project is closely aligned with the DMU strategic priority for researching 21st century urban living. It complements UN Sustainable Development goals and contributes to meeting EU Societal Challenges, especially """"Europe in a changing world: inclusive, innovative and reflective societies"""". If successful, the Fellow will emerge from the programme as a fully independent scholar of international standing and as a credit to the MSCF programme."
