Full textThe urban riots of 1992 bring to the fore the growing complexity of racial relations in America. They cast à new light on the bipolar relations that are at the center of the attention of the media and the political leaders of the time. The aim of this thesis is to study the evolution of the Korean community in L. A. And to examine the factors that have contributed to the emergence of hostilities between Korean entrepreneurs and African-Americans. After having traced the beginnings of the Korean immigration on the Hawaii islands the analysis proceeds to explore the economic dimension of the Korean presence in the U. S. In order to prove its inevitable contribution to the escalation of conflicts with African Americans. It ends with the treatment of the impact of the riots on the Korean community

Gloor, Audrey. "Los Angeles, un outil de compréhension de la ville post-moderne." Grenoble 2, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006GRE29028.
Full textIn recent years, planners have coined new words to describe the changing city in the best possible way. One of them is the adjective "postmodern" which refers to a new era which the city is supposed to have entered. For many planners and urban geographers, the city which best illustrates postmodernity is Los Angeles. Just like Chicago in the twenties, it is said to be a laboratory and a new prototype of American city. Whilst the "Americanisation" and "los angelisation" of American and European cities is often mentioned, Los Angels shows evidence of a return to European types of planning. This trend is reflected in the New Urbanism movement, which is currently involved in the Playa Vista development. This new area, located to the West of the city, is based on a specific set of criteria, including mixed-use, the integration of pedestrians and a higher density than that of the rest of the city. The aim of this thesis is to ask the following questions : how and why does this new area blend into Los Angeles’cityscape when it in fact appears to be a variance with it
Devienne, Elsa. "Des plages dans la ville : une histoire sociale et environnementale du littoral de Los Angeles (1920-1972)." Paris, EHESS, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014EHES0092.
Full textThis dissertation explores the history of the Los Angeles shoreline and, more specifically, the city's famous beaches, from the 1920s through the early 1970s. I examine Los Angeles beaches not only as tourist attractions, but as urban spaces. Indeed, as vast public accommodations which attracted millions of people every year, the beaches generated heated debates regarding their development, accessibility, policing, and racial segregation. Contributing to environmental, cultural and social history, this dissertation takes into account the multiple historical actors - engineers, scientists, urban planners, local officials and homeowners - who attempted to transform and regulate the beaches according to competing visions, as well as the ordinary men and women who claimed their right to occupy and appropriate this space. My conclusions are divided into three main categories. First, I demonstrate that the beaches of Los Angeles are today mostly artificial; between the 1930s and the 1960s, the beaches were vastly enlarged thanks to the development of new techniques. Second, I show that the beaches were a place where the traditional social and racial hierarchies could momentarily be challenged. However, the postwar modernization of the beaches and the surrounding neighborhoods led to the eviction of the so-called undesirable public from the shores. Third, the beaches were the birthplace of multiple subcultures which contributed to the emergence and diffusion of new values and bodily norms, whether at the beach or in the city
Mekdjian, Sarah. "De l' enclave au kaléidoscope urbain. Los Angeles au prisme de l'immigration arménienne." Paris 10, 2009. https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00879800.
Full textThe enclave theory is generally used to describe urban immigrant settlements in American cities. Understood generally as a bounded and fixed place, the enclave is supposed to be the necessary condition for the production of identity and community belonging. However the multiple and heterogeneous places of Armenian immigrants settlement in the Greater Los Angeles area show that the enclave model is not relevant. In addition to these multiple settlements, Armenian immigrants claim a right to build a distinctive and centered place. This claim succeeded in 2000 with the creation of an official area called Little Armenia in the city of Los Angeles. To understand the coexistence of polycentric Armenian settlements and the community claim to build a unique center, I propose to use the model of a kaleidoscope. As an optical instrument, the kaleidoscope is made of multiple bits of glass which create -when moving- changing images which are geometrically structured. Similarly we can consider that the multiple Armenian places in Los Angeles are spatial fragments structured by community claims. These claims are never completely fixed or satisfied since they can be understood as utopian. Thus I propose to redefine the term of enclave as a symbolic and utopian framework built by an immigrant community to structure and control the multiplicity of its settlement places

Full textJoseph, Charles. "Etre et écrire (de) Los Angeles : Wanda Coleman." Thesis, Le Mans, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014LEMA3004/document.
Full textThis study aims at shedding some new light upon the many correlations existing between the Los Angeles cityspace and Wanda Coleman’s writings. As an African American woman born in Watts, Los Angeles in 1946, Coleman is the author of a significant literary oeuvre. Whether regarding the urban evolution and construction of the city, its ethnic composition, its socioeconomic conditions or its cultural development, the megalopolis can be read explicitly and implicitly throughout the author’s work, which started in 1979 and ended with the posthumous co-publication of The Love Project in 2014.Post World War II Los Angeles and the great mutations that the territory has been undergoing are, for Coleman, an unending source of material that are both motivating her writing and influencing her craft. The privileged witness of a city under the firm grasp of postmodern ideology of which Los Angeles seems to be the epicenter, Coleman’s work shows the ever-growing gap between an everyday life that is getting more and more brutal and an idealized imagery of the city that imposes itself as the American Way of Life par excellence. That unreachable goal for a disadvantaged and disenfranchised portion of society (about to become the majority of the Los Angeles population), is projected in a perpetual renewal of the American Dream, maintained within reaching distance, as an obscene strategy serving social appeasement. Wanda Coleman thus intends to unsettle an illusion that has been perpetrated and widely distributed through and by Hollywood whose influences, in a mass-media transmission era, cannot be under-estimated. Because she has been able to consider and apprehend the overall dehumanizing process for as long as she can remember, that Coleman is able to assess the import of her art and thus sets its objectives: to rehumanize the dehumanized

Full textThis dissertation analyzes the current debate in Southern California on water supply and land use planning in major development projects. Developers and local authorities claim that these developments are more “sustainable” than the traditional urbanism of the region. Numerous opponents, who argue that current practices are still characterized by excessive water use and other environmental damages, contest these claims. These controversies take place against the backdrop of perceived growing political, environmental and economic threats to the region’s water supply. We discuss the changes and elements of continuity in the current evolutions, and analyze their environmental, political and social consequences. We thus build a critique of “sustainability” and “environmental protection”, by showing how these notions are socially and politically shaped in given geographical contexts

Full textThe Armenian diaspora, comprising roughly 3. 400. 000 persons spread throughout ex-USSR territories, the Middle-East and various Western Countries, constitutes an abundant source of research. We favoured a study of integration mechanisms of the three most numerically important communities, established in France, United States and Lebanon. We isolated, in our work, the essential characteristics of the Armenian diaspora. Today the diaspora can no longer be considered as one but rather as an aggregate of communities, different in their composition and their perception of armenity. For the members of the diaspora, the notion of identity, of belonging, and the fidelity to the collective memory is a process depending on one's origin, generation and original culture. However, all the members, by varied strategies, take an active part in the socio-political process of their host country in order to be acknowledged as a proper ethnic entity. As to the speech of the elites, it maintains the collective memory and attempts to slow down the assimilation process in the host countries. To what extent does a successful integration lead the members of the diaspora toward assimilation and has this process passed today a point of no return ?

Full textThis work focuses on regional collaborative processes observed in Southern California and in the San Francisco Bay Area. These processes are part of a broader movement, labeled as new regionalism, which affects the American metropolises that are facing major evolutions of their spatial and social forms in a context of global economical competition. These dynamics interact with the regional political economy characterized by two shifts: First, an opposition between the growth coalition that have traditionally ruled the two regions and recent slow-growth movements that have affected the power of the coalition, and then, a shift between proponents of the home rule and the regionalist reformers who historically made several attempts towards regional form of governance. Our work indeed shows that the dynamics of new regionalism can be interpreted as an adaptation of the traditional growth coalition to the changing regional political economy. It also reveals several streams within Californian regionalism, each showing different system of values, methods, objectives and operating and distinctive scales within the region. Even if they diverge of many aspects, the various regional organizations resulting from these dynamics seems to be somehow complementary and to draw an original form of regional power

Full textThe beating of Rodney King by four police officers in 1991 made the reform of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) a political priority. The mayor, Thomas Bradley, appointed an independent commission that decided to implement community policing. The above-mentioned events put the reform of the LAPD on the political agenda, but its implementation turned out to be difficult because of organisational constraints and the perception of community policing by policemen as a political trick designed to satisfy the voters. Community policing became more a “buzz word” used by politicians and police officials than a real priority. Nevertheless, police/community partnerships have been implemented in Los Angeles and the LAPD has changed since the early 1990s. In France, the Police Nationale was always focused on national security issues, neglecting somewhat street-crime and community relations. In 1997, the Prime Minister Lionel Jospin decided to launch the “police de proximité”, which was inspired by community policing. The aim of the reform was to bridge the gap between the police and the community and reduce crime, which became a major concern for public opinion. This reform partially failed though, mostly because police officers resisted to that new philosophy that contradicted with the way they used to work previously. In 2002, Nicolas Sarkozy announced the end of the “police de proximité”. However, Paris police, which has a specific status, still implements the measures taken in the 1990’s and significantly improved its image and effectiveness

Full textThis dissertation examines the cohesion of Latino groups in American society. It analyses the influence of intra-community relations on the integration of Latinos in American society and deconstructs the representation of Latino communities perceived as a monolithic group allowing to determine to what extent these relationships lead to different assimilation paths. In particular, it shows the differential impact of the relationships between different Latino communities on their integration into American society and investigates the influence of the context of reception on the socio-economic integration of different Latino groups, policies and practices, and, more generally, their political clout.The choice of cities as diverse as Miami, Los Angeles and Boston highlights the importance of the urban context on the formation of relationships between the different Latino groups, and its influence on their integration into American society, as measured by the group strategies that Latinos adopt and their political participation.This analysis is crucial to the understanding of the complex interactions between Latino groups whose relationships are a major challenge, as they allow to anticipate the future of ethnic relations in the United States. This perspective opens to a broader sociological context which may help better comprehend the political and economic issues that the United States will confront in topics such as integration, immigration and representation in the coming decades
