This dossier is open to articles and essays that analyse the architectural criticism operation – its objects, practices and actors – constituted through the Atlantic Ocean transit. It seeks to approach the different mediation mechanisms (translations, periodicals, publications and international meetings) that enabled the structuring of networks of relationships, contacts and exchanges between social actors originating from different criticism cultures of this ocean's shores, especially those who cross it.

Thus, the papers applying for this dossier should be within the scope of architectural criticism history and address objects that emphasise the transit through territories. They should also demonstrate the intention of investigating architectural criticism as a practice of identification, tensioning and mediation of diversified architectural cultures. Therefore, the texts should have an emphasis on how criticism cultures, when in contact with each other, are modified due to losses, selections and rediscoveries, creating something that is not a mere junction, nor a mosaic, but rather a new and creative synthesis. Also, the articles should signalise to a way to deal with future's uncertainties, since writing about Atlantic cultures is often writing about expatriated, exiled bodies, which often find in transculturation a (or the sole) way of existing (resisting).

CADERNOS PROARQ opens its submission flow to researchers in the area of architecture and urbanism, and correlated areas, at the same time as it seeks to bring close together the set of papers deriving from the 2nd Colloquium on Criticism, Media and Memory | Architectural Transatlantic Dialogues, which will be submitted to a double-blind review.

The event will take place on October 29-31, 2024, in Oporto, Portugal, at Escola Superior Artística. It is one of the actions of “Critic Memory”, coordinated by researchers of Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Escola Superior Artística do Porto (ESAP), Universidade Federal de São Paulo (USP), Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), Universidad de Navarra and Goethe University Frankfurt am Main.

We look forward to receiving the submissions and suggest to all of those interested in the 2nd Colloquium on Criticism, Media and Memory | Architectural Transatlantic Dialogues that you access the website https://www.criticamemoria.org/iicmm
