Abstract:
In science fiction literature of the 1950s and 1960s, the reader is frequently presented to a concept of a futuristic city enclosed by an all-encompassing “dome” that shelters its dwellers from a hostile environment, while providing them the comfort and infrastructure needed to develop a safe and productive community. These domes are no longer fiction: they already exist, invisible, enabled by the wireless Internet infrastructure that surrounds and supports most of the contemporary urban activities. Called “Smart City” by commercial enterprises, media and marketing depa

Purpose – The purpose of this technical viewpoint is to provide a commentary of how we went about using logistics prototyping as a method to engage citizens, science fiction (SF) writers and small- to medium- sized enterprises (SME’s). Six urban logistic prototypes built on the themes of future cities, community resilience and urban supply chain management (SCM) are summarized, together with details of the data collection procedure and the methodological challenges encountered.

This article regards a literary journey as a representation of the diversity of the world, perceived by a person in the process of his physical or virtual movement in geographical space, conveyed in literary form. One of the most important grounds for the typology of literary journeys is the idea of relationship between real and fictional subjects and objects included by the writer in his narrative. According to the relationship between reality and fiction, literary journey is divided into four main types: real travel in the real world; composed (invented) journey in the real world; a fictiona

The phenomenon of Tik Tok which has become an acute epidemic among students does not only occur in big cities. In almost all parts of the country, this phenomenon has become a trend. No exception in small cities like Blitar, East Java. Though not realized, they have been trapped in a simulation world full of unreality (artificial). That is something that looks more than what actually happened. Tik Tok appears to facilitate the existence of a person beyond its essence. The reality that is displayed through Tik Tok is actually a hyper and pseudo reality. Literally, hypereality can be interpreted

The artistic reportage of the early 21st century underwent significant changes, evolving from the literary coverage of the 1920s. Contemporary authors refine their texts with different artistic techniques, genre-style techniques, which leads to the emergence of common genres. Such texts tend to be meta-genre in documentary and artistic discourse. The artistic reportages have a dual nature because they synthesize genre features of literature and journalism.

Abstract This chapter tells the story of the early American movement for proportional representation (PR), showing how it settled on the single transferable vote (STV). Reformers in the 1890s consider several forms of PR, but only STV is wholly compatible with nonpartisan elections. By the mid-1910s, amidst the Progressive Era dealignment, dozens of cities are fusing majority-preferential systems with nonpartisan elections to small councils. The PR League sees an opening to promote STV. Socialists protest the emerging nonpartisan bargain, warning that “nonpartisanship” is fiction in practice.

Abstract Throughout the 1880s, 1890s, and 1900s, as politics and depression convulsed the South, authors of fiction sought to make sense of the South around them. They wrote less of public events than of conflicts over sexual identity, religious faith, the meaning of race, the experience of one’s generation, the volatile changes in the class order, the meaning of industrialization. By and large, they did not use fiction as smokescreens for a Southern political agenda, but rather as a way to order and explore the events and forces that so affected their lives.

Abstract This chapter takes up a major writer of post-Independence Hindi through a focus on his depiction of urban space. The works of Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh (1917–1964) are set in different small- and medium-sized cities across the urban landscape of central India. In his fiction, poetry, and criticism, Muktibodh combined a detailed examination of urban space with a keen sense of local, national, and international scale. The resulting works reveal the unstable grounds of the mid-century Indian city. Through readings of Muktibodh’s short story “Claude Eatherly” and his poem “Cāṁd kā muṁh ṭeḍ

They maintained order on the streets and the highways and byways; and order meant relative tidiness and no obstructions as well as breaking up fights.
