Download or read book Captured by the City written by Blagovesta Momchedjikova and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-12-05 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captured by the City: Perspectives in Urban Culture Studies is a collection of eighteen essays on urban places, people, and phenomena. In it, cities in North America, Europe, and Asia offer themselves as dynamic encounters to those who study them and to those who live in them on a daily basis. Different disciplines-Sociology, Anthropology, Performance Studies, Architectural History, Linguistics, Media Studies, Documentary Poetics, to name just a few-intersect here to help shape a unique field of inquiry-that of Urban Culture Studies. This multi-perspectival approach grants us a more wholesome understanding of how we inscribe cities and how cities inscribe us in return: as we plan, inhabit, remember them-in reality or in dreams.
Download or read book Urban Encounters written by Martha Radice and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public art is on the urban agenda. Given recent claims about the importance of creativity to urban prosperity, opportunities for installing or performing art in the city have multiplied. As cities strive to appear culturally dynamic, the stakes of artistic production rise higher than ever. Exploring the interaction between art and the public in Canadian cities, Urban Encounters features writing by artists, architects, curators, anthropologists, geographers, and urban studies specialists. They show how people and places affect the structure and content of public artworks, what kinds of urban spaces and socialities are generated through art, and how to investigate and interpret encounters between art and its viewers in the city. Discussing a variety of art forms, including mobile cinemas, street improvisation, audiovisual investigations, and assembled objects, the contributors treat public artworks not just as aesthetic installations, but as agents that participate in the social and cultural evolution of cities. Using original, hands-on approaches, Urban Encounters reveals how art in the urban public space generates encounters that can transform both the city itself and the ways that people relate to it. Contributors include Alison Bain (York University), Robert Bean (NSCAD University), Lawrence Bird (architect, artist), Alexandrine Boudreault-Fournier (University of Victoria), Brenden Harvey (Dalhousie University), Wes Johnston (artist, curator), Léola Le Blanc (media artist), Brian Lilley (Dalhousie University), Barbara Lounder (NSCAD University), Mary Elizabeth Luka (York University), Sebastian Matthias (HafenCityUniversity), Christof Migone (Western University), Ellen Moffat (media artist), Kim Morgan (NSCAD University), Solomon Nagler (NSCAD University), Martha Radice (Dalhousie University), Nicole Rallis (McMaster University), Susanne Shawyer (Elon University), Shannon Turner (Aarhus University), Laurent Vernet (INRS Urbanisation Culture Société), and Nick Wees (University of Victoria).

Download or read book Urban Interstices The Aesthetics and the Politics of the In between written by Andrea Mubi Brighenti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together a team of international scholars with an interest in urban transformations, spatial justice and territoriality, this volume questions how the interstice is related to the emerging processes of partitioning, enclave-making and zoning, showing how in-between spaces are intimately related to larger flows, networks, territories and boundaries. Illustrated with a range of case studies from places such as the US, Quebec, the UK, Italy, Gaza, Iraq, India, and South-east Asia, the volume analyses the place and function of interstitial locales in both a ’disciplined’ urban space and a disordered space conceptualized through the notions of ’excess’, ’danger’ and ’threat’. Warning not to romanticize the interstice, the book invites us to study it as not simply a place but also a set of phenomena, events and social interactions. How are interstices perceived and represented? What is the politics of visibility that is applied to them? How to capture their peculiar rhythms, speeds and affects? On the one hand, interstices open up venues for informality, improvisation, challenge, and bricolage, playful as well as angry statements on the neoliberal city and enhanced urban inequalities. On the other hand, they also represent a crucial site of governance (even governance by withdrawal) and urban management, where an array of techniques ranging from military urbanism to new forms of value extraction are experimented. At the point of convergence of all these tensions, interstices appear as veritable sites of transformation, where social forces clash and mesh prefiguring our urban future. The book interrogates these territories, proposing new ways to explore the dynamics, events and visibilities that define them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les espaces publics sont l'épine dorsale des villes contemporaines, faite du réseau des rues, places parcs, établissements publics, etc. qui innervent et quadrillent le phénomène urbain. C'est par l'intermédiaire des espaces publics que se déploient de nombreux autres réseaux essentiels comme ceux des eaux potables et usées, des énergies, des divers modes de transports, des télécommunications, etc., mais aussi et surtout ce sont les espaces publics qui rendent possible la rencontre entre tous les citadins et qui permettent l'accès à tous les lieux urbains. Bref, sans les espaces publics, les villes ne peuvent tout simplement pas fonctionner. Quels usages manifestes et latents les citadins font-ils des espaces publics ? Quelles représentations en ont-ils ? Existe-t-il des usagers plus importants que d'autres ? Qui sont les créateurs des espaces publics et quelles images en ont-ils ? Comment les différents acteurs des espaces publics procèdent-ils à leur création ? Ces idées et questions font l'objet d'une analyse très fouillée par des spécialistes en sciences sociales et à partir de diverses enquêtes menées à Genève. Ce livre fait la synthèse de l'ensemble de ces réflexions et recherches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Todays Global Flneuse offers a fresh analysis of the flneuse on the 21st-century global stage, drawn from the perspectives of art history, mobility studies, sociology, and urban geography. The essays and artwork in this volume offer histories of Eurocentric 19th-century flnerie that still resonate in 21st-century transnational terms. This special issue also reveals the decisive impact of the flneuses practices beyond the strictly urban, extending into rural environs via the mega- and ex-urban, thus contributing to the continuing debate regarding the ever-narrowing urban/rural divide.
Download or read book The West African City written by Jérôme Chenal and published by EPFL Press. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid growth, unmanageable cities, urban crisis, macrocephali... The cities of west Africa are no longer ‘plannable’ – at least not using traditional urban development tools. Without negating the importance of participatory processes in city creation, it nonetheless seems crucial to return to city plans and models, to what cities convey, and how they are built. But to understand the city in all its depth and richness, we must also hit the streets. The West African City proposes a dual perspective. At the urban scale, it analyses historical trajectories, spatial development, and urban planning documents to highlight the major trends beyond the plans. At the second level – that of public space – the street is discussed as the city’s lifeblood. By innovating approaches and testing new methods, The West African City offers an unconventional look at Nouakchott, Dakar and Abidjan, the three study sites for this investigation. The city of today, in Africa or elsewhere, must re-examine its many social, economic, cultural, political, and spatial dimensions; for this, urban research has begun challenging its own methods. This book is also the companion of Chenal's MOOC African cities.
Download or read book La ville quel genre written by Emmanuelle Faure and published by . This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le constat : les normes de genre attribuant aux individus des rôles et des statuts spécifiques en fonction de leur sexe assigné, genre, sexualité, etc, supposent une pratique de l'espace public conditionnée ; ce même espace public est majoritairement conçu, construit, approprié par les hommes. Les études se font plus nombreuses, elles révèlent pour la majorité des femmes une sensation d'exclusion, de n'être pas à sa place, de devoir surveiller son comportement, d'être moins acceptée voire vulnérable en certains lieux, à certains horaires... Cet ouvrage a pour ambition d'associer les éléments d'un état de la recherche en sciences humaines et sociales à propos des rapports sociaux de sexes et de l'espace urbain, mais aussi, et surtout, d'ouvrir des pistes opérationnelles utiles aux différents groupes acteurs de la ville, et à toutes celles et ceux qui fabriquent quotidiennement la ville, en héritent et la transforment. Que pourrait être une ville non sexiste ? non discriminante ? L'approche pluridisciplinaire proposée ici incite à lire, agir, construire avec le genre. Les espaces concernés sont urbains : métropoles, villes-centres, banlieues. Il s'agit d'espaces publics, du "vivre la ville", de s'y déplacer, de les habiter. Ce livre n'est pas un manuel des bonnes pratiques à appliquer mécaniquement, mais une invitation à inventer, à remettre en question un urbanisme, dont le modèle majoritaire est un homme jeune, bien portant, hétérosexuel, de classe moyenne, souvent véhiculé. Approches en architecture, géographie, lettres, psychologie, sociologie, urbanisme sont ici regroupées à l'invitation d'un groupe de chercheurs et chercheuses, Les Urbain-e-s, qui développe un programme de recherche-action à Gennevilliers depuis 2013.

Book excerpt: Over the last 15 years AZC’s architectural work has developed through a diverse range of experiences. This book, Time for Play, presents exhibition pavilions, temporary installations, and ideas competitions – a mix of built and un-built projects. “...Today’s situation promotes innovation, supports creativity and enriches projects, calling on our intelligence. We are forced to take a new look at practices and uses, to consider different ways of doing things, to think about the humanity of a place; and all this when we still find it so hard to understand community needs, and even more so to keep up with changing society.” And this is the position taken by AZC architects. Faced with a changing world, they propose solutions that are novel in their shape, use, cost and temporality.
