Book Synopsis Henri Lefebvre's Critical Theory of Space by : Francesco Biagi
Download or read book Henri Lefebvre's Critical Theory of Space written by Francesco Biagi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-08 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henri Lefebvre's Critical Theory of Space offers a rigorous analysis and revival of Lefebvre’s works and the context in which he produced them. Biagi traces the historical-critical time-frame of Lefebvre's intellectual investigations, bringing to light a theoretical constellation in which historical methods intersect with philosophical and sociological issues: from Marxist political philosophy to the birth of urban sociology; from rural studies to urban and everyday life studies in the context of capitalism. Examining Lefebvre’s extended investigations into the urban sphere as well as highlighting his goal of developing a “general political theory of space” and of innovating Marxist thought, and clarifying the various (more or less accurate) meanings attributed to Lefebvre's concept of the “right to the city” (analysed in the context of the French and international sociological and philosophical-political debate), Henri Lefebvre's Critical Theory of Space ultimately brings the contours of Lefebvre’s innovative perspective—itself developed at the end of the “short twentieth century”—back into view in all its richness and complexity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fractured Scenes is the first extensive academic account of music and sound art practices that fall outside of the scope of ‘mainstream music’ in Hong Kong. It combines academic essays with original interviews conducted with prominent Hong Kong underground/independent musicians and sound artists as well as first hand-accounts by key local scene actors in order to survey genres such as experimental/noise music, deconstructed electronic music, indie-pop, punk, garage rock, sound art and DIY ‘computer’ music (among others). It examines these Hong Kong underground music practices in relief with specific case studies in Mainland China and Japan to begin re-defining the notion of a ‘musical underground’ in the context of contemporary Hong Kong.

Book Synopsis Du contre-pouvoir by : Miguel Benasayag
Download or read book Du contre-pouvoir written by Miguel Benasayag and published by Editions La Découverte. This book was released on 2000 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Après la période de conformisme tiède des années quatre-vingt, on a vu s'affirmer dans de nombreux pays des mouvements prônant une critique radicale du système, aussi bien en Europe (ATTAC, Act Up, collectifs anti-expulsion, sans-papiers, réseaux d'échanges de savoir...) qu'à l'étranger (mères de la place de Mai, paysans sans terre, guérilla zapatiste...). Des mouvements à leur tour critiqués : cette nouvelle subjectivité contestataire est souvent jugée stérile, incapable de passer à une étape plus politique, de proposer des réformes réalistes. Un jugement que récusent les auteurs de cet essai incisif. Certes, expliquent-ils, la nouvelle posture contestataire peut parfois se complaire dans l'impuissance du simple constat critique. Mais plus souvent, les mouvements qu'elle nourrit développement des formes de lutte originales dont la portée émancipatrice reste mal perçue, car elles ne correspondent plus aux formes traditionnelles de l'action politique. A travers de nombreux exemples, les auteurs montrent qu'en laissant de côté la question du pouvoir et de sa conquête, les animateurs de ces mouvements inventent une " politique du contre-pouvoir " dont les effets concrets sur la société sont déjà beaucoup plus importants qu'on ne le croit. Un livre optimiste qui passionnera tous ceux qui cherchent, ici et maintenant, dans leur engagement militant ou professionnel, les pratiques qui permettront de réinventer la justice et la liberté.
Book Synopsis Social Innovations in the Urban Context by : Taco Brandsen
Download or read book Social Innovations in the Urban Context written by Taco Brandsen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the practice of social innovation, which is currently very much in the public eye. New ideas and approaches are needed to tackle the severe and wicked problems with which contemporary societies are struggling. Especially in times of economic crisis, social innovation is regarded as one of the crucial elements needed to move forward. Our knowledge of its dynamics has significantly progressed, thanks to an abundance of studies on social innovation both general and sector-specific. However, despite the valuable research conducted over the past years, the systematic analysis of social innovation is still contested and incomplete. The questions asked in the book will be the following: 1. What is the nature of social innovations? 2.What patterns can be identified in social innovations emerging at the local level? 3.How is the emergence and spread of social innovations related to urban governance? More precisely, which conditions and arrangements facilitate and hinders social innovation? We explore these questions using different types of data and methods, and studying different contexts. In particular, we focus on innovations that aim at solving problems of the young unemployed, single parents and migrants. This analysis is based on original research carried out in the period 2010-2013 in the framework of a European project with a specific empirical research strategy. Research was carried out in 20 cities in 10 different European countries.
Book Synopsis Politics of the Periphery by : Pierre Hamel
Download or read book Politics of the Periphery written by Pierre Hamel and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New urban forms characterizing contemporary metropolises reflect a certain continuity with the patterns of the past. They also include unexpected forms of settlement and design that have emerged in response to social and economic needs and as a way of leveraging new technologies. Politics of the Periphery sets out to explore sub/urban governance in diverse contexts in order to better understand how materiality and space are shaped by the possibilities and constraints of confronting actors. This collection, edited by Pierre Hamel, examines the empirical aspects of collective action and planning in eight urban regions around the world – across North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa – and reveals the impacts and consequences of various structures of suburban governance. The case studies feature a diverse range of local actors facing both the specificity of their respective milieus and the broader context of extended urbanization as metropolitan regions cope with new territorial challenges. The book focuses on suburbanization processes that characterize most of these post-metropolitan regions and questions whether it is possible to improve suburban governance in the face of growing uncertainties arising from structural and subjective transformations. Paying close attention to the relationship between the local and the global, Politics of the Periphery challenges the planning processes of evolving metropolitan regions.

Book Synopsis La pathologie du pouvoir: vices, crimes et délits des gouvernants by : Patrick Gilli
Download or read book La pathologie du pouvoir: vices, crimes et délits des gouvernants written by Patrick Gilli and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La singularité de la criminalité des gouvernants ou de leurs actes peccamineux réside dans la rareté des condamnations qu’ils ont subies. En examinant sur la longue durée, les formes de dénonciation de ces délits des hommes de pouvoir, le livre essaie de comprendre les raisons qui aboutissent à la rupture du consensus et à la remise en cause de l’acceptation sociale des traditions jusqu’alors tolérées (corruption, extorsion, abus en tout genre). Les différentes contributions examinent les conditions de ces condamnations, morales et politiques, et dessinent un tableau nuancé de ces pathologies du pouvoir qui loin d’être invariables dans le temps sont articulées aux paradigmes moraux de chaque société historique. Les contributeurs sont: Nathalie Barrandon, Anne-Catherine Baudoin, Franck Collard, Kathleen Crowther, Angela De Benedictis, Silvia Di Paolo, Julien Dubouloz, Patrick Gilli, Cedric Giraud, Thomas Granier, Laurent Guitton, Charles Guerin, Corinne Manchio, Nancy McLoughin, Hélène Ménard, Richard Newhauser, Flocel Sabaté, Armand Strubel, Julien Théry et Silvana Vecchio English: What is singular about the criminality of rulers or their sinful acts is how rarely they are convicted. Through a long-term study of the forms of denunciation of crimes committed by those who hold power, this book tries to understand the reasons that lead to breaking the consensus and calling into question the social acceptance of traditions which had hitherto been tolerated (corruption, extortion, different types of abuse). The various contributions investigate the moral and political conditions of these convictions, and give a well-balanced account of these pathologies of power: far from being invariable over time, they are consistent with the moral paradigms of each society in history.
Book Synopsis Le pouvoir urbain dans l'Europe atlantique du XVIe au XVIIIe siècle by : Guy Saupin
Download or read book Le pouvoir urbain dans l'Europe atlantique du XVIe au XVIIIe siècle written by Guy Saupin and published by Ouest Editions. This book was released on 2002 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: QUINZE universitaires venus d'Espagne, du Royaume-Uni, des Pays-Bas et de France - six étrangers et neuf Français - se sont efforcés d'inventorier les formes de commandement des villes dans des systèmes étatiques différents, mais tous influencés par une économie pré-industrielle marquée par un capitalisme commercial, une société d'ordres et une culture politique profondément religieuse en procès de sécularisation. Leurs réflexions, dont ce livre rend compte, se sont organisées autour de trois axes majeurs : Pouvoir municipal et État : Logique d'affrontement ou de concertation et traduction dans la culture politique de l'âge moderne. Formation des aires d'influence : Quelle attraction exerce la ville ? Quelles formes de contrôle établit-elle sur l'espace régional ? Comment se réorganise son espace ? Sociologie des élites dirigeantes : Fonctions urbaines et hiérarchisation des élites. Oligarchie municipale. Reproduction de cette élite (fermeture ou rotation importante ?). Les questionnements les plus innovants de la recherche historique récente ont ainsi été dégagés au cours de ce colloque.
