Download or read book Place Naming Identities and Geography written by Gerry O’Reilly and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-06 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents research on geographical naming on land and sea from a wide range of standpoints on: theory and concepts, case studies and education. Space and place naming or toponymy has a long tradition in the sciences and a renewed critical interest in geography and allied disciplines including the humanities. Place: location and cartographical aspects, etymology and geo-histories so salient in past studies, are now being enhanced from a range of radical perspectives, especially in a globalizing, standardizing world with Googlization and the consequent ‘normalization’ of place names, perceptions and images worldwide including those for marketing purposes. Nonetheless, there are conflicting and contesting voices. The interdisciplinary research is enhanced with authors from regional, national and international toponymy-related institutions and organizations including the UNGEGN, IGU, ICA and so forth.

Download or read book Precautionary Principle Pluralism and Deliberation written by Bernard Reber and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume tackles the burden of judgment and the challenges of ethical disagreements, organizes the cohabitation of scientific and ethical argumentations in such a way they find their appropriate place in the political decision. It imagines several forms of agreements and open ways of conflicts resolution very different compared with ones of the majority of political philosophers and political scientists that are macro-social and general. It offers an original contribution to a scrutinized interpretation of the precautionary principle, as structuring the decision in interdisciplinary contexts, to make sure to arrive this time to the “Best of the Worlds”.
Download or read book Eastern Approaches to Byzantium written by Antony Eastmond and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eastern frontier of Byzantium and the interaction of the peoples that lived along it are the themes of this book. With a focus on the ninth to thirteenth centuries and dealing with both art history and history, the essays provide reconsiderations of Byzantine policy on its eastern borders, new interpretations and new materials on Byzantine relations with the Georgians, Armenians and Seljuqs, as well as studies on the writing of history among these peoples. Presenting research from Russia and Georgia as well as Europe and the USA, the contributors stress the interaction and interdependence of all the peoples along this frontier zone, and consider the different ways in which the political and cultural power of Byzantium was appropriated. They provide important comparative evidence for the relationship between local and Byzantine cultures, and open up new avenues for research into the history of eastern Anatolia and the Caucasus. The volume arises from the thirty-third Spring Symposium of Byzantine Studies held at the University of Warwick in March 1999.
Download or read book Lecture Economique de l Histoire du Japon written by Philippe Huysveld and published by Philippe Huysveld - GBMC. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux étudiants suivant un programme d’études en langue ou commerce japonais, ou encore au lecteur averti intéressé par l’Histoire et l’Economie du Japon. Le Japon de 2014 se trouve à la croisée de nombreux défis de taille, qui sont abordés succinctement en fin de livre. Trois ans après le « tsunami » meurtrier de la région de « Tohoku », où en est le processus de reconstruction ? Le nucléaire va-t-il être remplacé par les Energies Renouvelables ? Comment le pays va-t-il faire face aux défis démographiques ? Le Japon est-il toujours un pays Innovateur ? En préparant un cours, l’auteur s’est aperçu qu’il y avait, surtout en langue anglaise, assez bien de livres sur l’Histoire et l'Economie du Japon en général, surtout après 1945, mais très... Plus > peu de livres récents se concentrant sur une lecture (purement) économique de l’Histoire entière du Japon. Malheureusement, il y a encore moins de choix en langue française. D’où, sans doute, la pertinence de cet ouvrage!

Download or read book New Geographies of Music 2 written by Séverin Guillard and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the second installment of a trilogy that explores the spatial dimensions of music. Music has generated substantial interest among geographers, but other academic disciplines have also developed related spatial perspectives on music. This trilogy brings together multiple approaches, each book investigating a bundle of interrelated themes. New Geographies of Music 2: Music in Urban Tourism, Heritage Policies and Place-making starts by exploring contemporary approaches to the study of popular music, as well as the relations existing between music, tourism, heritage and urban geography. The chapters address a range of issues, including how music shapes the "feel" of touristic towns and urban public spaces, how music scenes have an increasing role in heritage and tourism policies, and how this recognition of music has consequences on artistic practices and urban imaginaries. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the relationship between space and music. Séverin Guillard is an Assistant Professor in Geography at the University of Picardie Jules Verne, Amiens, France and a member of the research unit Habiter le Monde (Inhabiting the World). His research focuses on music, cultural policies and events in French, American, and British cities. Joseph Palis is an Associate Professor and Chairperson at the Department of Geography, University of the Philippines-Diliman. He has been a DJ at WXYC-Chapel Hill since 2006. Ola Johansson is a Professor of Geography at the University of Pittsburgh in Johnstown. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Tennessee.

Download or read book Reflections on Identity in Four African Cities written by Simon Bekker and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2006-12-29 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Identity has become the watchword of our times. In sub-Saharan Africa, this certainly appears to be true and for particular reasons. Africa is urbanising rapidly, cross-border migration streams are swelling and globalising influences sweep across the continent. Africa is also facing up to the challenge of nurturing emergent democracies in which citizens often feel torn between older traditional and newer national loyalties. Accordingly, collective identities are deeply coloured by recent urban as well as international experience and are squarely located within identity politics where reconciliation is required between state nation-building strategies and sub-national affiliations. They are also fundamentally shaped by the growing inequality and the poverty found on this continent. These themes are explored by an international set of scholars in two South African and two Francophone cities. The relative importance to urban residents of race, class and ethnicity but also of work, space and language are compared in these cities. This volume also includes a chapter investigating the emergence of a continental African identity. A recent report of the Office of the South African President claims that a strong national identity is emerging among its citizens, and that race and ethnicity are waning whilst a class identity is in the ascendance. The evidence and analyses within this volume serve to gauge the extent to which such claims ring true, in what everyone knows is a much more complex and shifting terrain of shared meanings than can ever be captured by such generalisations.
