The Spanish journal Revista Urban has calls for papers for two new themes here. One of them in particular is interesting

Specters of Lefebvre

Henri Lefebvre continues to cast a long shadow. Under the sign of a ‘spatial turn’, the social theories of the 21st century have incessantly recovered the thoughts of a life that spanned the whole of the 20th century. His first texts were contemporary with those of Poëte, Lavedan, Lenin, Benjamin, Heidegger, Mumford, Eluard, Tzara, with the u/dys/topias of Le Corbusier and the institutionalisation of town planning, the birth of mass consumption and the formation of Totalitarianism, the proliferation of working-class movements, the films of Chaplin and the Paris that sleeps of René Clair. His late work co-exists alongside that of Harvey, Soja, Negri, Jameson, Bourdieu, Sennett, the unromantic city of the global suburbs and the defence of the lived-in city of historic centres, the consolidation of modern neo-liberal regimes, the decline of welfare societies and the constriction of everyday life in compulsive consumer networks.

All kinds of syndromes and (almost) a century have existed until his death in 1991. And then, le déluge; a torrent of resurrections, re-editions, appropriations, approaches, translations and betrayals… The Specters of Lefebvre haunt the cartographies of critical urbanism, human geography, cultural studies and political thought.

The twentieth anniversary of his death takes place next summer: 20 years without Lefebvre, 20 years filled with Lefebvre. In the next issue of URBAN we call for the preparation of critical studies to re-interpret his work, his idea of the city and urbanism, everyday life, history, philosophy, politics; the spatialisations of Lefebvre, his Marxisms and sociologies, his visions of the connection between urbanism and social reproduction, his heterodoxies, shadows and errors, his sources and legacies; we invite you, in short, to textually re-live his maxim, that of reflecting on the city and changing it, as a necessary moment in the transformation of life and society.

The first issue of the new series should be out shortly.
