Research Tracks in Urbanism: Dynamics Planning and Design in Contemporary Urban Territories

Research Tracks in Urbanism: Dynamics Planning and Design in Contemporary Urban Territories

Maybe the Global Village metaphor has never been more accurate than it is today where societies join forces in the fight against the COVID 19 pandemic in a global coordinated effort possibly never tested before in the known history of Humankind. Although we are sure that in the past some other shared demands have united the different peoples of the world this has never been so strongly necessary mainly in what the global scientific community is concerned. This is a fight for the survival of a society. However we should not lose sight of what we are fighting for. We fight together for people. Not just for the abstract value of Human life but for life in society as a whole including its moral and ethical aspects. The topics of this book are based on this claim on what makes it possible. We do not build our lives in a vacuum or in distant Invisible Cities but through a higher value which represents physical life in society: the City built by the discipline of Urbanism. This book is a spin-off of the International Research Seminar on Urbanism_SIIU2020. Inspired by the contents of twelve research seminars a group of researchers from the universities of Barcelona Lisbon and São Paulo discuss the contemporary agenda of research in Urbanism. Following the conference a selection of 35 original double-blind peer-reviewed research papers were brought together with different perspectives about such an agenda. | Research Tracks in Urbanism: Dynamics Planning and Design in Contemporary Urban Territories

T. F. Torrance’s Christological Anthropology Discerning Humanity in Christ

T. F. Torrance’s Christological Anthropology Discerning Humanity in Christ

This book demonstrates the promise of Christology for developing Scottish theologian T. F. Torrance’s theological anthropology. T. F. Torrance’s Christological Anthropology: Discerning Humanity in Christ engages with several key themes in Torrance’s theological anthropology and considers how each one of these topics—anthropological method the metaphysics of human nature the imago Dei personhood vocation human destiny—can be further developed in light of Christ. Christopher Woznicki argues that Christology not only holds promise for the task of developing Torrance’s insights on humanity but also for developing a constructive account of humanity. The volume is valuable reading for scholars of T. F. Torrance’s theology and for those who are interested in the role of Christology in theological anthropology. | T. F.

The Early Modern State: Drivers Beneficiaries and Discontents Essays in Honour of Prof. Dr. Marjolein 't Hart

The Early Modern State: Drivers Beneficiaries and Discontents Essays in Honour of Prof. Dr. Marjolein 't Hart

In the course of the early modern period the capacity of European states to raise finances wage wars subject their own and far away populations and exert bureaucratic power over a variety of areas of social life increased dramatically. Nevertheless these changes were far less absolute and definitive than the literature on the rise of the modern state once held. While war pushed the boundaries of the emerging fiscal military states of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries rulers remained highly dependent on negotiations with competing elite groups and the private networks of contractors and financial intermediaries. Attempts to increase control over subjects often resulted in popular resistance that in their turn set limits to and influenced the direction of the development of state institutions. Written in honour of the leading historian of war and state formation in the early modern Low Countries Marjolein 't Hart the chapters gathered in this volume examine the main drivers beneficiaries and discontents of state formation across and beyond Europe in the early modern period. | The Early Modern State: Drivers Beneficiaries and Discontents Essays in Honour of Prof. Dr. Marjolein 't Hart

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

The song remains the most basic unit of modern pop music. Shaped into being by historical forces—cultural aesthetic and technical—the song provides both performer and audience with a world marked off by a short discrete and temporally demarcated experience. One-Track Mind: Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song brings together 16 writers to weigh in on 16 iconic tracks from the history of modern popular music. Arranged chronologically in order of release of the tracks and spanning nearly five decades these essays zigzag across the cultural landscape to present one possible history of pop music. There are detours through psychedelic rock Afro-pop Latin pop glam rock heavy metal punk postpunk adult contemporary rock techno hip-hop and electro-pop here. More than just deep histories of individual songs these essays all expand far beyond the track itself to offer exciting and often counterintuitive histories of transformative moments in popular culture. Collectively they show the undiminished power of the individual pop song both as distillations of important flashpoints and in their afterlives as ghostly echoes that persist undiminished but transform for succeeding generations. Capitalism and its principal good capital help us frame these stories a fact that should surprise no one given the inextricable relationship between art and capitalism established in the twentieth century. At the root readers will find here a history of pop with unexpected plot twists colorful protagonists and fitting denouements. | One-Track Mind Capitalism Technology and the Art of the Pop Song

Ibsen in the Decolonised South Asian Theatre

Ibsen in the Decolonised South Asian Theatre

This book maps South Asian theatre productions that have contextualised Ibsen’s plays to underscore the emergent challenges of postcolonial nation formation. The concerns addressed in this collection include politico-cultural engagements with human rights economic and environmental issues and globalisation all of which have evolved through colonial times and thereafter. This book contemplates why and how these Ibsen texts were repeatedly adapted for the stage and consequently reflects upon the political intent of this appropriative journey of the foreign playwright. This book tracks the unmapped agency that South Asian theatre has acquired through aesthetic appropriation of Ibsen and thereby contributes to his global reception. This collection will be of great interest to students and scholars of theatre and performance studies. | Ibsen in the Decolonised South Asian Theatre

Rights for Aborigines

Rights for Aborigines

'We cannot help but wonder why it has taken the white Australians just on 200 years to recognise us as a race of people' Bill Onus 1967Aboriginal people were the original landowners in Australia yet this was easily forgotten by Europeans settling this old continent. Labelled as a primitive and dying race by the end of the nineteenth century most Aborigines were denied the right to vote to determine where their families would live and to maintain their cultural traditions. In this groundbreaking work Bain Attwood charts a century-long struggle for rights for Aborigines in Australia. He tracks the ever-shifting perceptions of race and history and how these impacted on the ideals and goals of campaigners for rights for indigenous people. He looks at prominent Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal campaigners and what motivated their involvement in key incidents and movements. Drawing on oral and documentary sources he investigates how they found enough common ground to fight together for justice and equality for Aboriginal people. Rights for Aborigines illuminates questions of race history political and social rights that are central to our understanding of relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.
