Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume investigates how urban growth and prosperity transformed the cities of the Roman Mediterranean in the last centuries BCE and the fi rst centuries CE, integrating debates about Roman urban space with discourse on Roman urban history. The contributions explore how these cities developed landscapes full of civic memory and ritual, saw commercial priorities transforming the urban environment, and began to expand signifi cantly beyond their wall circuits. These interrelated developments not only changed how cities looked and could be experienced, but they also affected the functioning of the urban community and together contributed to keeping increasingly complex urban communities socially cohesive. By focusing on the transformation of urban landscapes in the Late Republican and Imperial periods, the volume adds a new, explicitly historical angle to current debates about urban space in Roman studies. Confronting archaeological and historical approaches, the volume presents developments in Italy, Africa, Greece, and Asia Minor, thus significantly broadening the geographical scope of the discussion and offering novel theoretical perspectives alongside well- documented, thematic case studies. Urban Space and Urban History in the Roman World will be of interest to anyone working on Roman urbanism or Roman history in the Late Republic and early Empire.

Download or read book Urban Planning in North Africa written by Carlos Nunes Silva and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been relatively little written on the history of urban planning in North Africa, despite the wealth of towns and cities in this region which date back to Antiquity. The book explores the history of urban planning in North Africa and the challenges confronting contemporary urban planning in Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia. It examines the transnational flow of planning ideas during the colonial period, namely through the French, British, and Italian colonial presence, and the Portuguese and Spanish influences as well, and discusses key challenges currently confronting urban planning in the major urban centers in the region. The fifteen chapters that constitute the book offer an informed analysis of the history of urban planning in North Africa, covering the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial periods.

Download or read book Comparing Greek Colonies written by Camilla Colombi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 614 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need for a "new" book on Greek colonization arose to analyse this phenomenon as a long-term process in a wide geographic area. The events related to individual cities and regions, although geographically very distant from each other, are linked through an articulated network of material and immaterial relations and have to be considered as part of a broader mobility process in a Mediterranean perspective. The intention of "Comparing Greek Colonies" is to bring geographically and culturally distant regions such as Southern Italy/Sicily and the Black Sea, closer together, not merely to find "similarities and differences", but to broaden the scholars’ perspective and overcome existing, generalizing, and biased models, that are often rooted in local scientific traditions. The proceedings of the international conference "Comparing Greek Colonies. Mobility and Settlement Consolidation from Southern Italy to the Black Sea (8th – 6th century BC)", 7.–9.11.2018 in Rome, are structured around three core topics (economic system; relationships with the indigenous populations; social and territorial systems) that constitute the cornerstones of the political formation of the polis in the Archaic period and for its development during the Classical and Hellenistic Ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume were originally presented at a workshop held at the University of Calgary on August 1–5, 1977 and sponsored by the Calgary Institute for the Humanities. The phrase “the new land” underwent careful scrutiny and reassessment during the course of the conference, and the insights that resulted from the readings and discussions were of considerable value to participants and observers alike. Chronologically and thematically the essays cover a wide range: from La Nouvelle France as seen by the early missionaries and by the French Romantic writer Chateaubriand to variations on the new land theme in present-day Qußbec; from the Prairies as seen by an early homesteader-novelist from France, Constantin-Weyer, to the Manitoba of Gabrielle Roy, which in turn is contrasted to the Nebraska of Willa Cather; from a historical recreation of the Saskatchewan landscape and history by a gifted contemporary novelist Rudy Wiebe, to a paradisal celebration of British Columbia reflected in the later works of Malcolm Lowry. What emerged from all of this, among other things, was the articulation of a mythology about the new land that was far more complex and expansive than the one derived originally through an old–world perspective.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Tunisia written by Kenneth J. Perkins and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The demographically modest, but strategically significant, country of Tunisia has experienced profound and revolutionary change in the almost two decades since the publication of the previous edition of this volume (1997). Most dramatically, a populist uprising in 2011 ousted the entrenched dictatorship whose two heads had successively presided over the country since independence from France in 1956. As Tunisians celebrated this achievement, they inspired similar movements elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa, giving rise to an “Arab Spring” that held out hope for the introduction of transformational innovations in democratic concepts and institutions across the region. Sadly, however, powerful forces of the status quo thwarted these efforts in country after country. But in Tunisia itself, a more hopeful scenario unfolded. In the fall of 2011, elections to a constituent assembly that international observers characterized as free and fair, gave the major Islamic party a plurality of the votes and set Tunisia on a course of participatory democracy. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Tunisia contains a chronology, an introduction, an appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 300 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about Tunisia.

Download or read book Les nouveaux urbains dans l'espace Sahara-Sahel written by Elisabeth Boesen and published by KARTHALA Editions. This book was released on 2007 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis plusieurs années, l'espace Sahara-Sahel a suscité un véritable intérêt de la part des médias. Cette région du monde est en effet devenue partie intégrante du paysage politique européen. Elle apparaît comme une frontière de plus en plus poreuse entre l'Afrique et l'Europe. Le premier mérite de cet ouvrage est d'attirer notre attention sur le fait que cet espace n'est pas seulement une zone de transit, mais une région habitée par des hommes. Et s'il y a un trait qui caractérise ses habitants, c'est bien leur mobilité. Ce trait justifie l'appellation d'" espace en mouvement" utilisée ici par plusieurs auteurs. Le fait d'en souligner l'unité historico-culturelle et socio-économique est une autre originalité de la publication. Cette idée d'unité contraste avec l'image, pourtant plus répandue, d'une région " entre-deux ", située entre les deux aires géographiques que sont l'Afrique du Nord et l'Afrique subsaharienne. A côté du trait commun de la mobilité, qui rend sujette à question la dichotomie supposée entre nomadisme et sédentarité, les différentes populations de cet espace sont liées en réalité par de multiples relations dans les domaines économique, politique et culturel. Aboutissement d'un colloque qui s'est tenu à Berlin en 2005, les contributions de cet ouvrage développent l'idée que l'unité de l'espace Sahara-Sahel se manifeste avant tout dans les centres urbains et à travers les interactions entre migrants et citadins sédentaires. Les auteurs se sont cependant concentrés sur certains des habitants de la ville, ceux dont le potentiel à façonner les formes urbaines est limité ou n'a pas encore été pris en considération par les chercheurs. Il s'agit notamment des femmes, des jeunes, des nouveaux arrivés ou des gens de passage. A côté des modalités du travail et d'habitation, l'intérêt a porté sur la différence ou l'étrangeté (Fremdheit), sur les manières de les vivre et de les représenter, ou bien de les dissimuler ou de les surmonter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: À quoi ressembleront les villes de demain ? Alors qu’aujourd’hui un peu plus de la moitié de l’humanité réside en ville, les espaces urbains représentent un des enjeux stratégiques du XXIe siècle. Occupant les fonctions essentielles – politiques, économiques et culturelles –, les villes sont de plus en plus fragmentées, vulnérables et contestées. • Peut-on encore parler de « modèle urbain » à l’heure de la diversification des types de villes partout dans le monde ? • Les acteurs urbains se multiplient, mais quelle est la place de la population et son rôle dans la ville ? Quelles sont les stratégies de résistance face aux inégalités ? • La vulnérabilité des villes est de plus en plus importante, tant d’un point de vue social, économique que climatique. • Va-t-on pour autant basculer vers des villes ultratechnologiques ? Comment les villes du futur vont-elles réintégrer du vivant dans leurs espaces ? Grâce à plus de 90 cartes et documents inédits et originaux, cet atlas interroge l’avenir des villes, mégalopoles ou villes plus petites, en posant la question du renouvellement des modèles urbains.

Download or read book Arab Awakening and Islamic Revival written by Martin Kramer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, the political ground beneath the Middle East has shifted. Arab nationalism the political orthodoxy for most of this century has lost its grip on the imagination and allegiance of a new generation. At the same time, Islam as an ideology has spread across the region, and "Islamists" bid to capture the center of politics. Most Western scholars and experts once hailed the redemptive power of Arabism. Arab Awakening and Islamic Revival is a critical assessment of the contradictions of Arab nationalism and Islamic fundamentalism, and the misrepresentation of both in the West.The first part of the book argues that Arab nationalism--the so-called Arab awakening--bore within it the seeds of its own failure. Arabism as an idea drew upon foreign sources and resources. Even as it claimed to liberate the Arabs from imperialism it deepened intellectual dependence upon the West's own romanticism and radicalism. Ultimately, Arab nationalism became a force of oppression rather than liberation, and a mirror image of the imperialism it defied. Kramer's essays together form the only chronological telling and the at fully documented postmortem of Arabism. The second part of the book examines the similar failings of Islamism, whose ideas are Islamic reworkings of Western ideological radicalism. Its effect has been to give new life to old rationales for oppression, authoritarianism, and sectarian division.Arab Awakening and Islamic Revival provides an alternative view of a century of Middle Eastern history. As the region moves fitfully past ideology, Kramer's perspective is more compelling than at any time in the past-in Western academe no less than among many in the Middle. This book will be of interest to sociologists, political scientists, economists, and Middle East specialists.

Download or read book Wagadu Volume 7: Today's Global Flâneuse written by Kathryn Kramer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-02-21 with total page 90 pages. 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.
