IV CONFERENCIA INTERNACIONAL EN HISTORIA URBANA: "Cities in Europe, places and institutions" (Venecia, 3-5 de Septiembre de 1998)(1).

Joan-Anton Sánchez de Juan

La asistencia a una conferencia, o congreso académico internacional, es siempre una buena oportunidad para viajar y desplazarse. Si además, como es el caso, se trata de una conferencia en estudios urbanos, la elección del lugar (ciudad) donde realizar las sesiones presenta un buen numero de atractivos y alicientes añadidos. La elección de Venecia para albergar las sesiones de la IV Conferencia Internacional en Historia Urbana, cubrió ampliamente las expectativas creadas en los asistentes a este encuentro científico. Durante los tres días que duró la conferencia, las sesiones académicas se alternaron con las visitas y actividades programadas por los organizadores en esta magnífica ciudad.

Como mostró Ennio Concina en la misma conferencia inaugural, Renaissance Venice: Urban structure and institutions, pocas ciudades en Europa podían ofrecer mejor que Venecia la conjunción de las dos dimensiones urbanas reflejadas en el título y el ánimo de la conferencia. La historia de la ciudad está impregnada de este diálogo constante entre su estructura física y sus instituciones urbanas, que en el caso de Venecia adquiere unas dimensiones inéditas en el resto de Europa. La peculiaridad morfológica de la ciudad de los canales, así como su larga experiencia republicana de ciudad-estado, no deja lugar a dudas.

Con todo esto a su favor, además del hecho de tratarse del encuentro científico más importante de su campo (con más de 300 participantes), se desarrolló en Venecia esta conferencia internacional organizada por cuarta vez por la Asociación Europea de Historiadores Urbanos. El comité organizador del encuentro, perteneciente al departamento de historia de la arquitectura del Istituto Universitario di Architettura di Venezia, con una larga tradición académica en el campo de la historia de la arquitectura y de la ciudad, contó con el apoyo institucional de la ciudad que durante los mismos días celebraba su conocido festival de cine. La Università Ca'Foscari de Venecia, por su parte, puso a la disposición de la conferencia sus instalaciones.

En cierto modo el desarrollo de esta conferencia en historia urbana, que ya ha tenido lugar en otras ciudades como Amsterdam o Estocolmo, permite una lectura del estado de la cuestión de este campo científico en el ámbito internacional. Las sesiones se dividieron en 'mayores' (10 participantes) y 'menores' (5 participantes), a las que hay que añadir la organización de dos mesas redondas sobre aspectos generales en historia urbana, en las que participaron un gran número de comunicantes presentando brevemente sus investigaciones. Las 29 sesiones, se completaron con la conferencia inaugural, de la que ya hemos dado cuenta más arriba, y de clausura; así como con una interesantísima exhibición cinematográfica "Remake History to Plan the City in Town Planners Movies", presentada por Leonardo Ciacci. En la misma se presentaron films de temática relevante para la historia urbana, entre los que se encontraban Pour mieux comprendre Paris (1935), escrita por Marcel Poëte, y The City (1938), escrita por Lewis Mumford.

La organización de las diferentes sesiones, cuya simultaneidad solo permitía un seguimiento limitado de muchas de ellas, corrió de la mano de importantes y consagrados profesores, en algunos casos, y de jóvenes y prometedores investigadores, en otros. Los períodos históricos cubiertos por las sesiones, divididos tripartitamente en Edad Media, Edad Moderna y Edad Contemporánea, permitían también una estructuración temática de las sesiones. A grandes rasgos se podría decir que las tendencias de investigación reflejadas en este encuentro internacional en historia urbana, se centran en los aspectos corporativos (políticos, profesionales o religiosos) de la ciudad, la relación entre el espacio urbano y la tecnología (sobretodo en el nivel de la creación de infraestructuras), así como en los aspectos culturales, ideológicos y literarios presentes en la elaboración de modos y comportamientos de vida urbana.

En concreto, gran parte de las temáticas a las que nos estamos refiriendo se centran en desarrollos y en la presentación de resultados provisionales de la investigación recientes en historia urbana. Por un lado, el estudio de las élites locales, ya sean estas políticas, o detentoras del poder de la ciudad, corporaciones religiosas, asociaciones cívicas o culturales, redes de profesionales o científicos, etc., permite obtener una visión del aspecto más institucional de la vida ciudadana. Al mismo tiempo, el desarrollo reciente de estas temáticas, refleja un modo de concebir la organización de la vida urbana de un modo que no se termina en la institución de un gobierno para la ciudad, sino que el poder local es considerado como un concepto mucho más amplio y con una experiencia mucho más fragmentada de lo que en principio parecía. Dentro de esta línea de sesiones se tiene que destacar las destinadas a la presentación de trabajos relacionados con el tema de los servicios y empleados municipales en el siglo XIX; las estrategias de apropiación del espacio urbano por las ordenes religiosas en la Edad Moderna, o el desarrollo de las élites médicas y de la practica de la medicina en las ciudades del mismo período; los interesantes estudios de movilidad inter urbana en los siglos XIX y XX; el papel de las asociaciones en la formación de las clases medias; así como las destinadas al estudio del impacto urbano que inevitablemente causa la construcción de grandes infraestructuras hospitalarias, o educativas en las ciudades.

Por otro lado, el estudio de las infraestructuras técnicas, y los aspectos más morfológicos del espacio urbano también ha ocupado una parte importante de esta conferencia internacional. La construcción de espacios funcionales en las ciudades ha atraído en los últimos años la atención de numerosos investigadores en historia urbana. Las principales áreas de estudio delimitadas para esta conferencia han sido: la importancia de la construcción, organización y gestión de las zonas portuarias y su relación con la ciudad; el papel central que, desde la Edad Media, ha tenido el abastecimiento de agua en el desarrollo de las ciudades; pasando por los problemas de crecimiento de las grandes capitales europeas, o la incidencia que tuvo la creación de centros de reposo (balenarios) en ciudades ambientalmente favorecidas a finales del siglo XIX, por ejemplo. En este apartado también podría destacarse las sesiones destinadas al estudio de los problemas ambientales en las ciudades, o las políticas de reestructuración de centros históricos durante el siglo XX, que estuvieron representadas por sus sesiones respectivas.

El tercer aspecto temático relevante, que a mi entender caracterizó la cuarta edición de esta conferencia internacional, fueron las sesiones destinadas a la discusión del papel que los fenómenos culturales han tenido en el desarrollo urbano durante la historia. Las repercusiones metodológicas que el estudio de la cultura han provocado, son un fiel reflejo de la incidencia que el lingusitic turn ha adquirido incluso en el desarrollo de la historia urbana. Varias sesiones podrían señalarse brevemente como representantes de estas tendencias. En primer lugar el estudio, a través de fuentes literarias y memorias personales, de la formación de identidades urbanas y de imágenes mentales de la ciudad, así como el estudio de representaciones visuales e iconográficos de las ciudad, estuvieron presentes en un par de sesiones. Dentro de la misma línea de trabajo cabe señalar la sesión destinada al estudio de la ciudad y su relación con los sentidos corporales, que en los últimos años está produciendo resultados sorprendentes. Mención aparte merece la interesante sesión, basada en el estudio de la proyección hacia el futuro en que las ciudades siempre han parecido amparar su desarrollo. Las comunicaciones presentadas y la discusión posterior, oscilaron desde los debates que los socialistas utópicos franceses generaron en la sociedad de su época en torno a la ciudad futura, hasta las representaciones y las estrategias de promoción de nuevas áreas urbanizadas, o el papel que las asociaciones de vecinos adquieren en la negociación y proyección de las transformaciones urbanas.

Podría decirse que no hay nada mejor que una conferencia internacional, para realmente aprehender la significación de la identidad de una comunidad científica. En nuestro caso, los historiadores urbanos, parece ser que ya hace tiempo que intentan conseguir esa definición conceptual que les permita instituirse en una rama de la Historia en toda su entidad, teniendo en cuenta la problemática de definición que conllevan en general los estudios urbanos. La creación de revistas, la organización de seminarios, el mantenimiento de redes y contactos internacionales entre especialistas, a nuestro entender, comienza a dar sus frutos en la formación y concreción de esta comunidad científica(2). La temática de estudio e investigación que hemos presentado en el comentario de la IV Conferencia Internacional en Historia Urbana, lejos de caracterizarse por la heterogeneidad que podría ofrecer a primera vista, es un fiel reflejo de toda esta larga actividad corporativa desarrollada por los historiadores urbanos en los últimos veinte años.
