Call for Abstracts: Scroope Journal Issue Titled Manifesto

02/12/2019
Trump and Brexit, the rise of neopopulism and neofascism, socioeconomic and environmental injustice, forced migration and the construction of walls and barriers around the globe together point towards the crisis of our times. Yet, if as Walter Benjamin reminds us, 'the tradition of the oppressed teaches us that the emergency situation in which we live is the rule', then an emancipatory manifesto is always timely.

As architecture has never been apolitical, what should the next manifesto for architecture look like? How can a manifesto transcend a mere momentary quest for radical change to entail a continuous process of radical changes?
