From a Babel Tower to a Common Ground. Trans-national and undisciplined dialogues about insurgent museologies and urban planning

The paper questions if and how the intersection between museologies, urban planning – and other forms of knowledge – may reinforce a fertile common ground for change, reflecting upon insurgent practices, and the transformative power that such insurgent practices incorporate. As the title recalls, the aim is to explore a common ground as a response to a babel tower of jargon, and terminologies inside and throughout disciplinary fields, as well as between academia and the world outside it. Our methodological approach is based on the analysis and systematization of a first set of trans-national dialogues that have been developed in six months of work, through the aforementioned cycle of webinars conducted in 2021. Lessons learned derive also from two questionnaires that gave us elements for assessing the involvement of participants, and the students’ learning process through their proactive engagement in the webinars’ organization
