Full text
Abstract:
The artist's process in which she examines the built environment through the medium of black and white photography. By tracing the trajectory of her awareness of architecture from her early career as a dancer, to the making of photographic images, the artist illuminates the process of deconstructing architectural and pictorial space into fragmented yet illusionistically convincing photographic montages. Influenced by the urban localities in which she dwells, she tells the story of being captivated by the post-industrial landscape of Williamsburg, Brookyn, NY, followed by landing in New Orleans and her fascination with post-Katrina architecture. Grounded in the analog techniques of traditional black and white photography, Levitsky describes the various means by which she alters her images to create visionary reconstructions of buildings in transitional states.

Abstract:
In the 1990s and 2000s, the theory on which professional practice of archivists and records managers drew was reviewed, in light of cultural and technological changes and of postmodernist philosophies. In particular, the theoretical narrative of the “neutral archives” was terminally disrupted, and more explicit responsibility attributed to the profession for actively seeking to redress the way that power imbalances in contemporary society were reflected in ‘the archive’. Professional archivists and records managers began to look for ways in which as professionals they could counteract these areas of neglect. There had not been any systematic analysis of “marginality” or “marginalised” as a concept, as opposed to particular instances thereof. In addition, the focus of attention in many of the responses had been those records related to situations or groups that already had been politicised. This combination seemed problematic, as a conceptualisation of marginality or exclusion was emerging and consolidating, one that focused primarily on situations of political instability or disenfranchisement or of conflict. While the disruption of the narrative of the neutral archive could in theory have resonance for all information professionals in all working environments, the particulars of the examples of exclusion and marginalisation were not applicable in every scenario. That is to say, those archivists and records managers who were not responsible for records that were in some clear way related to a politicised group or situation could assume on that basis that they were not, in their professional capacity, colluding in exclusion, marginalisation or neglect. By articulating the conceptualisation of marginality and seeking to focus on possible domestic and quotidian means by which power imbalances and exclusions are manifested, this research contributes to the extension of the relevance of the debate to politically stable environments and everyday activities, in addition to unstable or post-conflict situations. By focusing on the potentially dynamic relationship between the information curator and the records for which they were responsible – rather than the records creators or subjects – it also draws out additional opportunities for professional engagement with social and cultural imbalances.

Full text
Abstract:
Narratologists define narrative as a chronological series of events, and thus focus on temporality in their definitions of narrative form, neglecting the crucial role that space and spatiality may play in some narratives. In this project, I use cognitive linguists Fauconnier and Turner's theory of conceptual blending to analyze two very different pieces of literature, Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, the former a children's story and the latter a postmodern experimental work of fiction. While many narratologists and literary theorists focus on the destabilizing aspects of postmodern fiction and claim that it is "anti-narrative" because it resists assumptions about temporal linearity, conceptual blending analysis reveals that some such texts may be dependent for a feeling of coherence or "storiness" on the very cognitive frames and spatial structures that they deconstruct. The affinity between Saint-Exupèry's and Calvino's works suggests that there may be a particular corpus of texts, which I term "spatialized narratives," that maintain in the mind of the reader their own kind of coherence despite their ostensible non-referentiality or fragmentation — a kind of coherence that lies more in spatiality than in temporality.

Full text
Abstract:
Across municipal governments, the vast and varied web of purchasing regulations known as procurement has effectively grown into a barrier to entry for the civic technology market, allowing government contracts to be secured by a few large software companies with the resources to move through the procurement process. Within the procurement process, the procurement threshold, an arbitrary dollar amount set by the municipal governments, determines how governments are able to purchase goods and services from vendors. Through an OLS regression model, we examine the relationship between proven economic growth factors within cities, and the city’s procurement threshold. We find that there is a significant negative correlation between the number of patents issued for a particular city and the city’s procurement threshold, indicating that there may be a negative relationship between patent adoption and procurement thresholds within a city.

Abstract:
Denna uppsats belyser problemet med användandet av begreppen EU-medborgare och EU-migrant, samt vad det är som avgör huruvida man skall bli betraktad som antingen det ena eller andra. Det råder fri rörlighet för alla EU-medborgare mellan medlemsstaterna, det skapar problem när grupper som rent juridiskt inte klassificeras som medborgare, och i stället klassificeras som migrant. Skillnaden mellan att vara EU-medborgare och EU-migrant är bland annat att det skiljer sig i åtnjutandet av det sociala skyddsnätet. Romer används som ett exempel genom hela uppsatsen då de har en historia som inte påminner om någon annan, samt för att det är ett aktuellt ämne i dagens EU. Genom en komparativ studie mellan två välfärdsstater, samt en diskursanalys där Benhabibs teori ”the rights of others” appliceras diskuteras huruvida alla inom EU kan åtnjuta de mänskliga rättigheterna. Benhabibs teori tydliggör nationalstaters rädsla gentemot det främmande och bekräftar att det sker en kränkning av de mänskliga rättigheterna när människor saknar medborgarskap. Slutsatsen av denna studie är att orsaken till att romska grupper ofta faller utanför det skyddsnät som finns är på grund av avsaknaden av subjektivitet. Nationalstater ser ofta romska grupper som icke-hanterbara och det smittar av sig på civilsamhället och den generella attityden gentemot romer är negativ.<br>This thesis highlights the problem with the use of the concepts “EU-citizen” and “EU-immigrant”, as well as what determines whether someone should be considered one or the other. Since freedom of movement is granted EU-citizens between member states, problems arise when groups that technically do not qualify as citizens, but are classified as migrants, utilize the freedom of mobility. The difference between being classified as an EU-citizen vs an EU-immigrant is the differences in the ability to enjoy the social safety net provided by the state. The Roma people will be used as an example throughout the thesis, as the history of the group is unique, and it is currently a topic of discussion in the EU.Through a comparative study of welfare states, along with a discourse analysis utilizing Benhabib’s theory of ”the rights of others”, a discussion will examine whether everyone in the EU have the opportunity to enjoy human rights.Benhabib’s theory clarifies the nation state’s fears of that considered foreign and confirms the violations of human rights that occur when people lack citizenship.The conclusion of the study is that the reason Roma groups often fall outside the social safety net is because the lack of subjectivity of states. Nation states often view Roma groups as non-manageable, the perception rubs off on civil society and generates generally negative attitudes towards the Roma.

Abstract:
The topic of smart cities is growing in importance. However, a field study in the city of Malmö, Sweden shows that there is a discrepancy between the ongoing activities of urban planners and companies using analytical and digital tools to interpret humans’ behavior and preferences on the one hand, and the visibility of these developments in public spaces on the other. Citizens are affected by the invisible data and software not only when they use an application, but also when their living space is transformed. By Research through Design, this thesis examines ways of triggering discussion about smart city issues, which are hidden in software and code. In this thesis, a specific solution is developed: a public, tangible, and interactive visualization in the form of an interactive signpost. The final, partly functioning prototype is mountable in public places and points in the direction of the most beautiful walking path. The design refers to a smart city application that analyzes geo-tagged locative media and thereby predicts the beauty and security of a place.The aim is to trigger discussion about the contradictory issue of software interpreting the beauty of a place. Through its tangible, non-digital, and temporary character, the interactive representation encourages passers-by to interact with the prototype.

Full text
Abstract:
碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>外國語文研究所<br>90<br>Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities is elusive and mysterious. The framework of the novel consists of fifty-five cities with eleven categories. This thesis aims to probe into the essence of the cities, trying to find a tread to connect all those cities together. In short, this thesis can be divided into three parts. In Chapter One, this thesis deals with the cities which are related to memory, or categorized by Calvino as “city and memory” in the novel. First of all, through the trait of memory in Invisible Cities, including memory of the city’s context, desire, people, past events and space, Calvino’s cities are deciphered gradually. Secondly, from the relationship between memory and the city, the reader can learn more about the cities. The second chapter talks about the trait of desire in Calvino’s cities, and the relationship between desire and the city as an angle to probe into the essence of the cities. The third chapter discusses the relationship between memory and desire interacting in the cities. Memory and desire are the indispensable material in composing those cities because they are prevailed through the entire novel, which both originate from mind. The conclusion is that Calvino’s cities are mind cities in essence since memory and desire come from mind primarily. With discussion of memory and desire of the cities, I hope to provide a different angle to unveil Calvino’s Invisible Cities.

Full text
Abstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣師範大學<br>英語研究所<br>88<br>This thesis discusses how the "writers" (Calvino and Marco) play with their readers by making writing something playful and ultimately indeterminate. I look at this from three perspectives: first, from the perspective of Calvino’s literary theory, "combinative aesthetics;" second, from that of the poetics of seeing; then, from the standpoint of Calvino’s strategies of "exactitude." Chapter One talks about Calvino’s combinative aesthetics in the face of the almost exhausted possibilities of writing something "original" in this postmodern era. By means of his combinatorial play, a finite number of objects (or elements) can generate an indefinitely large (if not next to infinite) diversity of possibilities. Chapter Two focuses on the writer''s poetics of seeing. Though aiming to make the reader see what he has seen, the writer''s seeing is, nevertheless, unavoidably distorted and influenced by some subjective and objective variables. Through the writer''s consciousness of limitless viewpoints in seeing and problematization of his partial angles in observing, the reader encounters an unstable and unreliable narrative. Chapter Three discusses the problems confronted when using language as the medium between the writer and reader, according to Calvino''s three strategies of "exactitude" through language. Images, signs, and emblems, as they are encoded by language, are too elusive and slippery to transmit definite meanings to the reader. The reader cannot assume that everything the writer says and presents is true, since the writer himself problematizes what he has already written.

Full text
Abstract:
碩士<br>國立清華大學<br>外國語文學系<br>91<br>This thesis aims to read Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities in light of exotic images of Oriental cities Marco Polo presents together with his memory’s images of Venice. As Polo travels to the Far East within Kublai Khan’s Tartars Empire and its invisible cities, travel has become one of the metaphors the traveler applies to represent his urban experiences. It makes the listening emperor indulge in memory of the glorious past of his empire when Polo represents the cities with metaphors, such as desires, dreams, or women. The cities stand for the Khan as emblems of geopolitical conquests. The invisible cities of the past with glory and grace are lost and no longer to be retrieved. The present is unsatisfactory. In the latter part of his narration, the corrupted images of the city, or the invisible cities, indicate the fact that Kublai Khan’s empire is crumbling. But the Khan refuses to accept the truth. Polo’s journey is to reveal to Kublai Khan that the Tartars Empire is no longer a glamorous gem. In the journey, the traveler looks back at the beautiful images of the past. The traveler is like the gravedigger who digs the grave and dialogues with the past. He is inspired and enabled to see what makes the cities invisible. Representing the banal present condition of the urban, Polo at the same time criticizes it and hopes that the Khan might awaken from his dreams so that the empire can gain ground. In Invisible Cities, Calvino concerns more with Polo’s origin/roots than his travels to the Orient/routes. The Venetian traveler, being unsatisfied with the present of the empire that is falling apart, describes it with memory’s images of the past. Polo escapes to the memory of the glorious past and tries to seek a solution, looking back at it, in hope that the future can regain the lost grace or stop crumbling for “the old century is dead and buried” and ”the new is at its climax. The city had surely changed, and perhaps for the better” (Calvino 154).

Full text
Abstract:
The article describes the geocultural potential of the city of Vereshchagino in the Perm region, which should be used for the implementation of promising creative scenarios for the development of the urban environment. In 2023, the city, which is called the "Western gate of the Urals" in popular science publications, will celebrate its 125th anniversary. Currently, Vereshchagino has accumulated typical problems for a provincial city (demographic, communal and sociocultural). The visual image of the urban environment is devoid of expressive color. The author believes that Vereshchagino has a unique chance to become a comfortable city for living, a place of attraction for people who through active ascetic practices support and reproduce the sociohistorical identity of the economic structure of the country. This initiative is based on the methodology of geocultural branding of cities and territories. The proposed brand image "Verkhokamskaya Usadba" contains visible and invisible meanings of creativity and asceticism, acting as mental foundations in the author's project of the model strategy of geocultural branding in Vereshchagino.

Full text
Abstract:
Data-driven research methods of analyzing and generating urban space reflect professional developments in the field of architecture, using urban data analytics as a driving force for the decision-making process. Urban data analytic methods help us to see and understand the city via the flow of spatial data. How might we look to alternative influences to improve the built environment? This paper focuses on the topic of Urban Network Analysis; nurturing an effective decision-making process by making invisible urban patterns visible through geo-spatial data. The associated research project created a platform to participate in the active relationship of urban form and its organization within the natural and built environments. The investigation aimed to provide goals for the future direction of urban planning and design guidelines. The computational analysis tools employed here demonstrate how to utilize geospatial data to analyze street networks, to create case studies of pattern and formation, and to expand our knowledge of relevant issues – social, political, economic, environmental, and spatial.1Instead of being given a problem, the project team was proactively seeking the problem, based in this case on Geographic Information System (GIS data. Creating meaningful solution to these issues is the role of designers and the future of architecture. In our problem seeking, we examined issues of accessibility, walkability, and pedestrian and vehicular movement by using computational analytic methods.2 The research helped us to understand the city via the flow of spatial data and its analysis applications. Using these tools, we simulated the growth of the city and analyzed it by looking at urban patterns. Several fundamental questions arose: In what ways do elements of urban form begin to affect an urban network? Are there other urban phenomena that contribute to forming an urban network? In cities where growth rate is rapid, transportation systems pose a challenge. How does spatial structuring of the city influence it? Is the analysis valuable? If so, why and who could benefit from its application? How could those factors begin to affect the analysis interpreted by the network analysis?

Abstract:
In social media and the popular press, there is much discussion over the City of Toronto’s decision to partner with Google on their Eastern Waterfront development, however, there has not been enough scholarly research on its long-term implications. First, this public-private partnership signals a new model for urban design professionals. Second, intelligent infrastructure will be harvesting citizen data continuously and autonomously twenty-four hours per day. Google will build on its reputation as the world’s largest search and data aggregation company by layering the city with a ubiquitous wireless network on top of city services, forming an informational stack that will invisibly orchestrate communication, economics, and energy. Artificial intelligence software will analyze the resultant mass of citizen data, and use it to automatically inform decisions that will shape future city services. Those analytical feedback loops will create an operational city, one where cars drive themselves and smartphones know what residents want and where to find it – all in real time. Is this the future vision for our cities?

Abstract:
‘Urban Syncopation’ temporarily inhabits the existing spaces of the city with a performative skin that functions as a responsive, dynamic interface. As in the encryption of data that underlies the invisible orgware of the city’s systems, the patterned and faceted surface of this installation acts as an infrastructural device and living thickened topography that collects, transcodes, and re-transmits—in arhythmic syncopated fashion—the collective ‘heartbeat’ of the city as this is interwoven with the reflected movements of its immediate environs. The work is a repository of urban information that renders visible the unseen traces of the city’s occupation while simultaneously weaving them into a new architectural and spatial network.

Abstract:
While the city is generally perceived -within complexity theory and dynamic systems theory as a changing field of dense interactions that occur in a range of spatial and temporal scales, we are unable to perceive it or describe it in these terms. The main goal of our work is to redefine space - ontologically and epistemologically- in order to reveal the invisible system of its interactions. Thus, the city is represented via a connectionist model, by means of the representation of the interconnections of its various parts. The project theorizes the city as a multiplicity, a structure of spaces of possibilities while at the same time trying to establish a liaison between the city's properties, tendencies and capacities. While properties are actual and can be observed, tendencies and capacities lie in the virtual level and become actual once exercised. Their intensive cartographies map zones of varying degrees regarding the density and intensity of information that is available pointing them as the city's islands of affordances. In this framework, Hecate becomes the city's virtual map, an interactive mechanism able to decipher, map and connect the superimposed layers of significance informing the city's layout and behavior, in real time. Visualized as a network of richly interconnected nodes of varying intensities, each representing information flows between the system and the city, Hecate is introduced as a visual thinking tool to perceive them in real time.

Abstract:
This paper addresses COVID-19 in India, looking at how the interplay of inequality, vulnerability, and the pandemic has compounded uncertainties for poor and marginalised groups, leading to insecurity, stigma and a severe loss of livelihoods. A strict government lockdown destroyed the incomes of farmers and urban informal workers and triggered an exodus of migrant workers from Indian cities, a mass movement which placed additional pressures on the country's rural communities. Elsewhere in the country, lockdown restrictions and pandemic response have coincided with heatwaves, floods and cyclones, impeding disaster response and relief. At the same time, the pandemic has been politicised to target minority groups (such as Muslims, Dalits), suppress dissent, and undermine constitutional values. The paper focuses on how COVID-19 has intersected with and multiplied existing uncertainties faced by different vulnerable groups and communities in India who have remained largely invisible in India's development story. With the biggest challenge for government now being to mitigate the further fall of millions of people into extreme poverty, the brief also reflects on pathways for recovery and transformation, including opportunities for rural revival, inclusive welfare, and community response. This brief is based on a review of existing published and grey literature, and 23 interviews with experts and practitioners from 12 states in India, including representation from domestic and international NGOs, and local civil society organisations. It was developed for the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP) by Justin Pickard, Shilpi Srivastava, Lyla Mehta (IDS), and Mihir R. Bhatt. Some of the cases draw on ongoing research of the TAPESTRY project, which explores bottom-up transformations in marginal environments across India and Bangladesh.
