Full textAbstract:
Ticks are responsible for the largest number of transmissions of vector-borne diseases in the northern hemisphere, which makes the risk from tick bites a serious public health problem. Biological scientific research and prevention studies are important, but they have not focused on the population’s perception of tick bite risk, especially at a spatial level. This exploratory article sets out to study this point through an innovative methodology involving the collection of 133 mental maps associated with a semi-structured interview and a socio-demographic questionnaire collected in the Massif Central region, France. The results show a strong link between the representation of the tick bite risk and the representation of particular landscapes. Forests appear as dangerous for the population, especially in the traditional activities of family walking or hiking. This calls into question overly anxiogenic prevention approaches that neglect the impact on practices in risk-prone spaces. It accentuates the need for localized education measure to improve knowledge about tick biology and avoid stereotypical and unnecessary negative representations associated with the environment.

Full textAbstract:
Pulmonary tuberculosis has been a prominent representation of illness in theater and cinema since the beginning of the nineteenth century. Despite the growing understanding of tuberculosis as a contagious disease during the bacteriological era, the theater and cinema primarily emphasized its representational advantages. Rather than focusing on propaganda and documentary films, these mediums found tuberculosis to be a convenient element for “romantic storytelling” due to its suitability for dramatic portrayal. Furthermore, the primary architectural typology for convalescence for tuberculosis patients, known as sanatoria, also served as exceptional film sets due to their anti-urban features that evoke a sense of “voyage” for the audience. This study thus analyzes three films that explore the medico-social reflections of tuberculosis on the mid-twentieth century healthcare architecture which are also noted for their exploration of tuberculosis, focusing on its cinematic benefits such as “easy acting,” “romantic storytelling” and “visual and spatial aesthetics.” These films also make use of the sanatoria facilities’ venues, spaces, and architecture to create visually appealing and spatially engaging aesthetics. These films are Una Breve Vacanza (A Brief Vacation, Vittorio De Sica, 1973), Učitel Tance (The Dance Teacher, Jaromil Jireš, 1995), and Kelebeğin Rüyası (A Butterfly’s Dream, Yılmaz Erdoğan, 2013). These films not only convey information about the disease and the locations where patients recovered in three different global sanatoria cases, but also serve as valuable archival documents by offering insights into the socio-spatiality of the disease in architecture and cinema.

Full textAbstract:
The article explores how spaces aimed at improving accountability in health systems are socially produced. It addresses the implications of an initiative to promote patient involvement in government-funded research in the context of a large cancer research network in England. We employ a socio-spatial theoretical framework inspired by insights from Henri Lefebvre and Judith Butler to examine how professional researchers, doctors and patients understand and perform accountability in an empirical context. Our data reveal fundamental tensions between formally required and routinely enacted dimensions of accountability as these are experienced by patients. Consequently, our analysis argues for a need to challenge abstract, professionalized discourse about accountability in health services by acknowledging embodied spaces of representation, in which patients themselves can contribute to making participatory accountability a reality. We suggest that such a shift will provide a more rounded appraisal of patient experiences within health research, and health systems more widely.

Full textAbstract:
Census and other socio-economic survey data collected at household and settlement level are aggregated and results are presented for specific administrative units. The wide and increasing availability of census and socio-economic data, tools like GIS with an ease to use and advances in methodology has allowed increasing and refined GIS mapping of census variables. However, it is less emphasized that the result of analysis and presentation is always dependent on the unit of analysis. Data aggregation, choice of data classification method and spatial scale all have effect on mapping result. When administrative boundaries are restructured, it necessitates the aggregation of census data of one administrative level to another. In this context, the current paper explores the scale and zoning effect (changing boundary, changing number of units and data aggregation) on mapping census data. It explores the effect of four data classification methods at two spatial scales. Secondary data sources like local administrative boundary of Bajhang district and economically active population in agriculture is selected as representative census variable for mapping. GIS tool is applied for data mapping and analysis. The study found the higher calculated correlation value (0.88) for the restructured spatial units. The distribution of number of spatial units varied significantly between four data classification methods while plotted against the old boundary but there was not much variation in case of newly restructured boundary. The study found that zoning particularly, from smaller to larger units has blurred the spatial pattern visualization leading to a loss of the preferential information. The study concludes that the restructuring of administrative boundaries into larger unit has simplified the detail for spatial representation and has introduced additional generalization. For policy level analysis, use of data available at one level of the spatial unit when aggregated to higher level should be analyzed carefully using different data classification methods and visualization tools because scaled spatial representation matters in planning and policy aspect. It is meaningful to analyze data at different spatial scale to visualize and identify spatial variation.

"COGNITIVE INTEGRATION IN THE CONTEXT OF INTERCULTURAL STUDIES: EDUCATIONAL EXTENSIONS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE DIRECTION OF WRITING AND THE SPATIAL REPRESENTATION OF THE CONCEPT OF TIME AS A MODEL." International Journal of Humanities and Educational Research 03, no. 03 (June 1, 2021): 148–59. http://dx.doi.org/10.47832/2757-5403.3-3.14.
Full textAbstract:
The concept of time has cultural characteristics, as it is the product of a symbolic communicative context that draws its characteristics from its founding group. Hence, the concept of time is shaped and represented mentally according to its socio-cultural context. Accordingly, it seems legitimate to examine its cultural specificity. This study tackles the nature of the spatial representation of the concept of time, as this latter is carried through cultural mediums, namely the oral and written language. The target group includes 32 unschooled children aged between 10 and 11. It is worth mentioning that many intercultural studies have indicated the existence of a definite, statistically significant relationship between the concept of time on the one hand and the direction of writing on the other hand. As the spatial representation of the concept of time in children of French culture is from left to right, influenced by the direction of French writing. Whereas, the spatial representation of the concept of time in children of French-Maghreb culture is in both directions (rightleft) and (rightleft), that is, in the form of congruous formula between the two directions of French writing from left to right and Arabic from right to left. The study confirms, in its third context, the spatial representation of the concept of time among uneducated children who do not know how to read and write, the results of previous studies on the concept of time in its relationship to the direction of writing. Where the space-time orientation is characterized by the multiplicity and diversity (rightleft, leftright, topbottom, topbottom...), regardless of the direction of presentation of the images by the experimenter. Studies, with their integral depth, confirm that it is a matter of cultural learning; the school institution as a social unit with symbolic and communicative contexts works to impart our concepts, including the concept of time, the characteristics of the socio-cultural context. The child, during his development and passing through socio-cultural institutions, integrates these characteristics in the framework of cognitive units that govern his subsequent cognitive functioning

Full textAbstract:
The article highlights the relation of socio-culture with language, speech and fiction, being considered as semiotic systems, which allows establishing relationships between their components. The multi-faceted subordination of these systems, investigated from the mental level to linguistic implementation, has been studied. It has been shown how socio-culture is expressed in cultural codes, and they, in turn, are represented on the mental level in the concepts of statements and texts. Six main codes of culture has been characterized: somatic, spatial, temporal, object, biomorphic and spiritual. The examples of English, German and Chinese fables and parables show the diffuseness of these codes and the supply of signs of one code to reinforce another. Further implementation of concepts takes place at the language level. In the article, the method of frame analysis of concepts and their attributes using tabular frames has been used to study such implementation. Examples of the implementation of concepts and their attributes in texts and in the culture of the ethnic group have been given. The reflection of socio-historical and linguistic-cultural factors of socio-culture in fiction has also been studied. It has been specified and explained on the basis of examples from English, German and Chinese fiction that world fiction can reflect these factors directly or, to varying degrees, indirectly. The article singles out three degrees of such indirectness. Sociocultural factors are directly reflected in historical novels, more indirectly, as a background, in artistic works on everyday topics, about the life of people from a certain social group. Sociocultural factors are most indirectly represented in small genres of fiction (fable, parable, and others) in a figurative and symbolic form. The article provides examples of such figurative and symbolic display. Socio-culture, language and fiction together make up a hyper-system, which is the basis of the existence and development of every society.

Full textAbstract:
The urban scenery that dominated Cairo since the nineteenth century was a spatial superimposition of tradition and modernity, represented in the social and architectural composition of the city. The cinematic medium in Egypt attempted to visualize such overlap through a vivid depiction of spatial transformations occurring within the micro and macro urban levels revealing hidden aspects of social order and organizational behaviour. This article sheds light on Egyptian filmmaker Hassan Al-Imam’s Cairo Trilogy films, based on the critically acclaimed novels by Nobel Prize laureate Naguib Mahfouz, where the story takes place in the heart of early twentieth-century Cairo spanning from 1917 to 1944. The films’ physical features illustrate the morphology of time and urban space constituting to the socio-spatial narratives of the local setting, a theoretical framework adopted by the authors named cine-spatial representation. Through the examination of such connection within the settings across the three films, the article reveals the influence of non-physical elements on the physicality of architectural and urban space, creating a visual narrative from social collectivism to individualist fragmentation.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose. The article examines the processes of formation of spatial representations in the writer’s mind and ways of their representation in artistic creativity using the example of the biography of V.I. Dahl and his cycle of short stories, essays and fairy tales Scenes from Russian Everyday Life. The author uses the method of “imaginative geography” which is a combination of cognitive geography, psychology, linguistics, and literary studies methods.Results. One of the most important tasks of the research is to understand the specifics of modeling space in the writer’s mind, his original ways of creating geographical images, interpreting spatial representations in the context of literary (genre, style) discourse. Due to life circumstances, Dahl often moved, changed his place of residence and service, which influenced the structure of spatial thinking and modeling of the original spatial myth. Since the writer’s figurative geographical representations directly nourished his work and became an important element of the compositional and narrative structure of texts, the cognitive geographical context is most clearly seen in collections of his stories written on the basis of direct observations and practice of life, in particular, such as Scenes from Russian Everyday Life. This is especially true for the plots and stories based on Dahl’s trips to the Ural-Caspian region, Orenburg and the trans-Ural steppes.Conclusion. As the genre-cognitive analysis of the cycle and, in particular, the story Shard of Ice shows spatial impressions were most often represented in genre form of a fable, and were interpreted by the writer in mythological, historical, socio-psychological and ethological aspects.

Abstract:Contestations over indigene rights and political representation resulted in Christian-Muslim riots in the Nigerian city of Jos where, between 2001 and 2010, over 5,000 people were killed. This study complements existing literature on the spatial dimension of violence by focusing on how Jos’s neighborhoods were transformed from everyday residential areas to spaces of ethnic differentiation and violence. It employs an ethnographic study to map the emergence and development of ethnic strongholds and frontiers, two kinds of socio-spatial settings conceptualized to help explain the spread and patterns of violence across Jos’s neighborhoods.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de géographie s'intéresse aux espaces urbains dans un contexte métropolitain, en se focalisant sur leurs Représentations Socio-Spatiales (RSS), à travers une approche de géographie quantitative. Les RSS, phénomènes spatiaux intersubjectifs, c'est-à-dire partagés par l'ensemble d'une population, reflètent des connotations et des caractéristiques socio-spatiales ou des activités qui se déroulent dans les lieux de la ville. Les RSS témoignent, accompagnent, et nourrissent les transformations métropolitaines et sont des clés de compréhension des espaces urbains, notamment sur la Côte d'Azur, dont les villes ont été façonnées et marquées au fil des siècles par des représentations d'espaces résidentiels et touristiques. Les annonces immobilières géolocalisées offrent l'opportunité d'analyser les espaces métropolitains. Les annonceurs, dans leurs discours, décrivent et valorisent l'environnement en localisant les biens, en le situant dans un toponyme précis, connu des lecteurs, et en révélant leurs caractéristiques socio-spatiales, minutieusement choisies, pour attirer une population cible. Les annonces sont donc des données géo-textuelles, reflétant les RSS de leurs lecteurs, tout en gardant des spécificités liées à leur objectif de marketing, et elles peuvent être analysées dans l'espace sémantique et géographique. L'objectif de cette thèse est de détecter et analyser les RSS des espaces urbains résidentiels de la Côte d'Azur par un corpus d'annonces immobilières géolocalisées. La première partie expose les fondements scientifiques de la recherche à savoir comment renouveler la connaissance des RSS à travers les données numériques géo-textuelles que sont les annonces immobilières. La seconde partie de la thèse présente une méthodologie visant à extraire et à analyser spatialement et textuellement les informations géographiques contenues dans les annonces pour révéler les RSS sous-jacentes des villes azuréennes. Un protocole a donc été développé, basé sur des techniques de traitement du langage naturel, pour extraire les toponymes et leur contexte socio-spatial. Ces informations géographiques géolocalisées servent ensuite de point de départ pour une analyse spatiale de leur contenu. De là, dans la troisième partie, nous proposons d'analyser les toponymes dans l'espace géographique et textuel, en prenant en compte leur contexte et les caractéristiques socio-spatiales associées. L'analyse se concentre sur la spatialisation des toponymes des villes azuréennes, en utilisant l'analyse spatiale sur réseau, et plus particulièrement, les densités de Kernel enrichies par la théorie des ensembles flous. Cette approche permet de produire, pour chaque toponyme, un espace noyau, où l'utilisation du toponyme est dominante, et un espace support où son utilisation est plus contrastée. La thèse se poursuit avec la caractérisation de ces espaces toponymiques par l'application de statistiques textuelles sur les caractéristiques socio-spatiales associées à chaque toponyme dans l'espace sémantique et géographique pour faire émerger leur RSS. En conclusion, cette thèse aboutit à une mise en lumière des RSS qui façonnent la Côte d'Azur contemporaine révélant des RSS contrastées et distinctives qui restent, néanmoins, souvent partagées par les villes littorales. Le renouvellement des approches d'appréhension des RSS par l'analyse spatiale et textuelle des annonces et les résultats obtenus quant à leur lecture ouvrent de nombreuses perspectives pour la recherche urbaine, notamment en termes d'application à différentes échelles spatiales, de possibilités d'étendre à d'autres corpus d'annonces et d'améliorations méthodologiques, qui sont développées dans la dernière partie du manuscritThis geography dissertation focuses on urban spaces in a metropolitan context, emphasizing their Socio-Spatial Representations (SSR) through a quantitative geography approach.SSR, which are intersubjective spatial phenomena shared by an entire population, reflect connotations, socio-spatial characteristics or activities occurring in urban spaces. RSS support metropolitan transformations. These are key elements for understanding urban spaces, particularly on the French Riviera, where cities have been shaped and marked over centuries by representations of residential and tourist spaces. Geolocated real estate ads offer the opportunity to analyze metropolitan spaces. Advertisers describe the environment by locating properties in a specific toponym, familiar to readers, and highlighting carefully selected socio-spatial characteristics to attract a target population. Thus, these advertisements are geo-textual data, reflecting the SSR of their readers while maintaining marketing-specific nuances. They can be analyzed in both semantic and geographical spaces. The objective of this dissertation is to detect and analyze the SSR of residential urban spaces on the French Riviera using a corpus of geolocated real estate ads.The first part exposes the scientific foundations of the research, addressing how the understanding of SSR can be renewed through geo-textual data such as real estate ads. The second part presents a methodology to extract and analyze pieces of geographic information from real estate ads to reveal the underlying SSR of urban spaces. A protocol was developed, based on natural language processing techniques, to extract toponyms and their socio-spatial context. These geolocated geographic data serve as the foundation for spatial analysis of their content. The third part proposes an analysis of toponyms in geographic and textual spaces, taking into account their context and associated socio-spatial characteristics. The analysis focuses on the spatialization of toponyms of French Riviera using network-based spatial analysis, precisely Kernel densities enriched with fuzzy set theory. This approach enables the creation of a core space for each toponym, where its use is dominant, and a support space, where its use is more nonetheless more contrasted. The dissertation continues with the characterization of these toponymic spaces through the application of textual statistics to the socio-spatial characteristics associated with each toponym in both semantic and geographic spaces, uncovering their SSR. In conclusion, this dissertation reveals the SSR of the contemporary French Riviera, highlighting contrasting and distinctive SSR that are, nonetheless, often shared among coastal cities. By renewing approaches to understanding SSR through spatial and textual analysis of real estate ads, and through the results obtained, this work opens perspectives for urban research. These include applications at various spatial scales, possibilities to extend the analysis to other corpora and methodological improvements, discussed in the final part of the manuscript

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse vise à comprendre et à apporter des solutions à la problématique de la baisse du nombre de praticiens ruraux qui touche les vétérinaires en France depuis une trentaine d'années. La population des étudiants vétérinaires est au centre de cette recherche afin d’analyser ce qui les conduit ou non à choisir la pratique rurale. En dépassant les critères socio-démographiques (féminisation, origine urbaine…), le travail se focalise sur les représentations sociales que les étudiants construisent de leur métier et de son environnement spatial tout au long du cursus de formation vétérinaire. Pour cela, l’approche méthodologique utilise des évocations hiérarchisées (n=116), une enquête à grande échelle (n=1508), et une méthodologie originale : des entretiens avec cartes mentales (n=72). Les résultats montrent que les étudiants font évoluer leurs représentations tout au long du parcours mais que de nombreux biais existent. Ceux-ci proviennent en partie du cursus d'enseignement. Ces biais génèrent alors des freins à l'installation en milieu rural qu'il faut surmonter. La seconde partie de la thèse traite donc de la construction et du test d’un dispositif pédagogique sur un échantillon d’étudiants (n=24) dans le cursus vétérinaire, le « jeu de territoire ». Celui-ci permet aux étudiants de mieux appréhender la diversité de la vie de vétérinaire en milieu rural et offre alors une première clé actionnable pour favoriser l’installation en pratique rurale. L’ensemble des résultats produits montrent ainsi que le cursus doit être mobilisé comme une transition, notamment psychosociale, vers le monde professionnel, permettant l’acquisition de nouveaux savoirs en lien avec le territoire d’activité, et dépassant le cadre académique traditionnelThis thesis aims to understand and provide solutions to the problem of the declining number of rural practitioners that has been affecting veterinarians in France for thirty years. The population of veterinary students is the focus of this research to analyze what led them or not to choose rural practice. To overcome socio-demographic criteria (feminization, urban origin ...), this work focuses on social representations that students build about their future work and its space environment during the curriculum. In this way, a methodological triangulation uses hierarchical evocations (n = 116), a large-scale survey (n = 1508), and an original methodology: interviews with mental maps (n = 72). The results show that students’ representations evolve throughout the course but many biases exist. These come in part from the teaching curriculum. These biases generate barriers to rural facility which may be overcome. The second part of the thesis therefore deals with the construction and the test of a pedagogical tool on a sample of students (n = 24) in the veterinary curriculum, the "territory game". It allows students to better understand the diversity of veterinary rural life and then offers a first operable key to encourage the installation in rural practice. All of these results show that the curriculum must be mobilized as a psychosocial transition, towards the professional world and must allow the acquisition of new knowledge related to the activity territories, beyond the traditional academic setting

Full textAbstract:
When residential segregation is mentioned in news coverage and when it is talked about in everyday discourse in Sweden, it is very often associated with immigration and minority groups living in the poorer areas of the city. A common assumption is that “immigrants” actively withdraw from society and that they choose to live together rather than integrating with the majority population. This study, however, argues that discussions about segregation cannot be limited to the areas where minorities and poorer-income groups live, but must understand segregation as a process occurring in the whole system of urban neighbourhoods. In order to reach a more complete understanding of the ways in which segregation processes are at work in contemporary Swedish cities, knowledge is needed about the inhabitants with greater resources and power to choose their dwellings and residential areas. The neighbourhood choices of more privileged groups, and the socio-spatial reproduction of the areas of the upper-middle class, are investigated by applying a qualitative ethnographic framework. The thesis studies two neighbourhoods located in the post-industrial city of Malmö: Victoria Park, a US-inspired “lifestyle community” which is the first of its kind in Sweden, and Bellevue, older but still one of the most exclusive and high-status neighbourhoods in the city. In order to understand self-segregation among privileged groups, the study especially scrutinises the concepts of class and security as well as the impacts of neoliberalisation on the Swedish housing market. The main argument of the study is that the self-segregation by members of the upper-middle class demonstrates a rift which runs through the urban fabric of Malmö, splintering the city up into perceived separate worlds. The existence of physical, symbolic and social boundaries in Victoria Park and Bellevue reproduces these neighbourhoods as exclusive, private and tranquil spaces of the upper-middle class. By locating themselves in the calm and safe part of the city, the upper-middle class can buy security as a commodity, rather than relying on the welfare state to provide it for them.

Full textAbstract:
Avenidas Novas é o nome com que se identifica uma área central da cidade de Lisboa, que foi objeto de um plano urbanístico inovador na transição para o século XX. Desenhadas com amplitude, para acolher uma nova área residencial burguesa, estas avenidas vieram a constituir-se num eixo estruturante de comunicação entre o centro histórico e a envolvente norte da cidade. Do desenho amplo e da acessibilidade resultou também uma nova centralidade, consubstanciada na instalação de serviços deslocados da Baixa Pombalina.
Pretende-se com esta tese prosseguir três objetivos: contextualizar as recomposições espaciais das Avenidas Novas, numa linha histórico-urbanística; caracterizar as dinâmicas sociodemográficas e socioeconómicas subjacentes às recomposições sociais da zona, no quadro da sua relação com a cidade-região de Lisboa; e identificar representações sociais sobre esta área da cidade (re)produzidas por moradores.
Para responder a este propósito, recorremos a métodos mistos e a um modelo analítico que permitisse desenvolver um itinerário desde os macro enquadramentos, temporais e espaciais, até ao
nível dos atores e das representações.
O contributo mais original da pesquisa prende-se com a realização de entrevistas a um conjunto de residentes, a partir da qual se concebeu uma tipologia de perfis, combinando tempo-memória com sociabilidade-identidade, e respetiva ilustração através de quatro retratos sociológicos.
Traçado, acessibilidade e centralidade são hoje favoráveis a um reinvestimento habitacional nas Avenidas Novas, que veem reforçado, ao nível das representações sociais do espaço, um estatuto
socioeconómico elevado.Avenidas Novas is the name that identifies a central area of the city of Lisbon, which was the object of an innovative urban plan in the transition to the 20th century. Widely designed to accommodate a new bourgeois residential area, it became a structuring axis of communication between the historic center and the northern surroundings of the city. The wide design and accessibility lead also to a new centrality, resulting mainly from the installation of services displaced from Baixa Pombalina. The aim of this thesis is to pursue three objectives: to contextualize the spatial recompositions of Avenidas Novas, in a historic-urbanistic line; to characterize the socio-demographic and socioeconomic dynamics underlying the social recompositions of the area, within the framework of its relationship with the city-region of Lisbon; and to identify social representations about this area of the city as they are (re)produced by residents. To fulfil this aim, we used mixed methods and an analytical model to allow the development of an itinerary from temporal and spatial macro framings to the level of the actors and representations. The most original contribution of the research were the interviews to a group of residents, from which a typology of profiles was conceived, combining memory-time with sociability-identity, and its illustration using four sociological portraits. Layout, accessibility and centrality appear now favourable to a reinvestment in housing in Avenidas Novas, an area with a reinforced high socioeconomic status in terms of social representations of the space.

Full textAbstract:
The crisis parameters of the development of the ukrainian-russian border society are analyzed in the coordinates of the civilizational borderland, marked by the "intersection" of controversial socio-cultural markers, identification matrices, local values, meanings and symbols. Using the conceptual principles of transitology, the strategies of social transformations and cultural practices in the border space, the mechanisms of identification confrontations and mental confrontations are considered. The impact of borderland on spatial and socio-cultural dynamics and the increase in the risks of the emergence of states of "existential transitivity" and "hybrid identity" in the border society are assessed. It is proven that modern challenges associated with the russian-ukrainian war require systematic monitoring of the mental consequences of destabilization of the security environment in the border region, development of conceptual principles for the formation of a consolidation identity and representation of the conditions for its implementation, development of algorithms for minimizing identity conflicts in the context of civilizational transformations and long-term existential crises.

Full textAbstract:
Literary Connections between South Africa and the Lusophone World connects literatures and cultures of South Africa and the Portuguese-speaking nations of Africa and beyond, and is set within literary and cultural studies. The chapters gathered in this volume reinforce the critical and ongoing conversations in comparative and world literature from perspectives of the South. It outlines some possible theoretical and methodological starting points for a comparative framework that targets, transnationally, literatures from the South. This volume is an additional step to renew the critical potentialities of comparative literary studies (Spivak 2009) as well as of humanistic criticism itself (Said 2004) as South Africa and the Lusophone world (except its former colonizer, Portugal) are outside the spatial and cultural dimension usually defined as European and/or North American. In this sense and due to the evident geographical and socio-historical links between these regions, critical scholarship on their literary connections can contribute to unprecedented perspectives of representational practices within a broader contextual dimension, and in so doing, provides the emergence of what Boaventura de Sousa Santos called “epistemologies of the South” (Santos 2016), as it considers cultural exchanges in the space of so-called “overlapping territories” and “intertwined histories” (Said 1993).

‘…a brilliant exploration of urbanism between the concept city and the lived city.… The volume focuses on urban life lived between home and the world, institutions and experiences, representations and affects…. Its fascinating range of empirically rich and analytically sophisticated excavations of neighbourhoods make the volume a must-have in the bookshelf on South Asian urban studies.’ –Gyan Prakash, Princeton University ‘A must-read for those who wish to study the micro aspects of contemporary urbanity.’ –Sujata Patel, Savitribai Phule Pune University ‘This book is a powerful addition to the study of Indian urbanism.’ –Ravi Sundaram, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) In the last couple of decades, the global South, in general, and India, in particular, have witnessed a massive growth of cities. In India, more than one-third of its population lives in cities. However, urban development, growth and expansion are not merely about infrastructures and enlargement of cityscapes. This edited volume focuses on neighbourhoods, their particularities and their role in shaping our understanding of the urban in India. It locates Indian experiences in the larger context of the global South and seeks to decentre the dominant Euro-American discourse of urban social life. Neighbourhoods in Urban India: In Between Home and the City offers an understanding of neighbourhoods as changing socio-spatial units in their specific regional settings by underlining the way value regimes (religiosity and subjectivities) give neighbourhoods their social meanings and stereotypes. It unpacks discourses and knowledge practices, such as planning, architecture and urban discourses of governance. It further discloses the linkages and disjunctures between the social practices of neighbourhoods and the language, logic and experiences of dwelling, housing, urban planning and governance, and focuses on the particularities and heterogeneities of neighbourhoods and neighbourliness.

AbstractDespite the rapid growth of cities worldwide, scholarly approaches to urban policymaking often overlook Sub-Saharan Africa’s urban revolution. Here cities are growing rapidly without the potential for employment or expanding public infrastructure. The result is a form of do-it-yourself urbanism that engenders a diversity of urban socio-economic and political forms. Drawing on freshly collected survey data from Nairobi, Accra, and Johannesburg that identify city residents’ migration trajectories, attitudes, and institutional engagements, this chapter will explore what Africa’s urban transformation means for scholarly analysis of political participation, spatial planning, and social cohesion. Doing so effectively means enhancing – or at times redefining – conventional meanings of political community, representation and urban inclusion, and modes of urban analysis.

AbstractDrawing on literature emphasising circulation modalities of urban diversity policies and its (dis)connection with issues of socio-spatial inequalities, this chapter seeks to demonstrate the complexity of urban diversity as a locus of negotiation and tension between diverse social and political players. In the cities of both the Global South and the Global North, whether under authoritarian regimes or liberal democracies, the undeniable fact of diversity is now an integral feature of political discourse and action. However, the political use – instrumentalisation, even – of urban diversity is often selective, partial, and sometimes discriminatory: experiences seen by inhabitants as being cosmopolitan and diverse are not always those recognised and valued by urban governance. The tension between a political vision of diversity and diversity as experienced from below, on a day-to-day basis, can contribute to processes aimed at making certain social groups visible or invisible at the urban level, i.e., those who deserve to be recognised and represented by the political authorities and those who remain excluded from the political representation of diversity.

Zusammenfassung This chapter analyzes the formation of the (self-applied) designation “Iranian diaspora” and its cinematic representations. The Iranian diaspora and its filmmaking are suitable objects of investigation because they can be used to illustrate two transformations, both of diaspora into postdiaspora and diaspora film into postdiaspora film. This reconfiguration manifests itself spatially on three levels: the real space of the diaspora, which is subject to socio-political changes; the internal-diegetic spaces in the films themselves, which constantly bring new themes to the fore; and film as a space-creating instance in itself, which constantly updates its own mediality. In Iranian (post-)diaspora film, these different spatial dimensions come together, as illustrated by this chapter’s analysis of Ana Lily Amirpour’s A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (USA, 2014).

This chapter looks back at the transformative moment of 1950s Egypt, examining the representation of Cairo in the work of Yūsuf Idrīs. At the center of this study is Idrīs’ first novel Qiṣṣat ḥubb (A Love Story, 1956). The analysis focuses upon the geographic and linguistic scapes of Cairo, exploring the intersection of the linguistic and the spatial in the conceptionalization of the Egyptian identity. The diverse spaces of the city, that bring together people from across Egypt’s socio-economic and geographic spectrum are presented alongside the linguistic registers spoken by these city-dwellers. While the main text is written in fuṣḥā (standard Arabic), the characters’ dialogue captures the varied registers of ʿāmmiyya (colloquial Arabic) spoken by the diverse inhabitants of Cairo. The literary analysis, framed by spatial theory and Arabic sociolinguistics, is situated in relationship to the canonical literary production of the period, and the debates concerning language and identity in the nahda period of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, to assert Idrīs’ innovative gestures towards a more inclusive concept of national identity. In creating a linguistic and geographical map of Cairo, Idrīs presents possibilities for multiple identities and alternative forms of community.

Full textAbstract:
Closer focused on host-states in which diaspora entrepreneurs live, Chapter 10 presents a comparative discussion. The empirical chapters (4–9) have demonstrated that analysts cannot make clear-cut comparisons of host-states, unless considering a transnational social field perspective: the UK has been the hub for mobilization for Palestinians, France for Armenians, and Switzerland and Germany for Kosovo Albanians in Europe, apart from the US. The chapter argues that host-states are not to be treated as units of analysis for controlled comparisons but should be considered as contexts of embeddedness that empower diaspora entrepreneurs in specific ways. Such approach is in line with scholarly efforts to analyse beyond methodological nationalism. The chapter argues, while a diaspora entrepreneur’s contextual embeddedness is not powerful enough to explain the contentiousness of diaspora mobilizations, it shapes the socio-spatial positionality of individual diaspora entrepreneurs. The discussion focuses on three dimensions: migration incorporation regimes, systems of interest representation, and decentralization patterns of these host-states. Empirical evidence from the Albanian, Armenian, and Palestinian diasporas shows that diaspora entrepreneurs are shaped in their migrant integration experiences, engagement through federal vs unitary systems of states, with trade unions, host-land political parties, and protest politics. Also, certain places within these host-states, such as London and Sheffield in the UK, Berlin and Stuttgart in Germany, Malmö and Gothenburg in Sweden, The Hague in the Netherlands, Paris in France, and Zurich and Geneva in Switzerland, play an important role for diaspora mobilizations but do not explain their contentiousness.

In Advances in Forest Fire Research 2022, 488–93. Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.14195/978-989-26-2298-9_75.
Full textAbstract:
The WUI expansion and climates changes are causing an increasing number of dramatic consequences on the socio-ecosystem in Southern Europe. In France, to reduce the fire threat to infrastructure and human lives, a specific prevention policy provides for many regulatory measures to address forest fire risk in urban planning and forest management. This approach to assessing risk is highly technical and hazard-centred. The shortcomings are the difficulty in appropriating the issue for those who do not have this standardised approach and legitimise less attention paid to individual and collective practices having an effect on vulnerability. Our research focuses on landscape as a means of analysing the representation of forest fire risk by local stakeholder groups. According to the European Landscape Convention, landscape is defined as 'an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors...'. Landscape therefore has both a factual and a subjective value. As an intermediary tool, the landscape allows an inclusive dialogue between various stakeholders since it belongs to the common register and does not have an immediate scientific connotation (Derioz, 2008). On this background, we develop a landscape mediation on forest fire risk to analyse how can landscape help to build a shared risk knowledge in local communities. Landscape mediation is an engineering of public involvement applied to the landscape which eases mobilising stakeholder experience and feelings in territorial diagnostic and spatial planning (Paradis, 2010). We experiment the benefits of landscape mediation to develop a local risk culture by using a case study in Martigues city in the south-east of France. The study site is subject to strong development pressure due to its proximity to the Aix-Marseille Provence metropolitan area, is located nearby two forested areas - Côte Bleue and Castillon forests - which are regularly affected by fires, and has a scattered residential area and therefore a relatively large WUI zone. The landscape mediation project consists of two stages. In spring 2022, residents of the study site are invited to participate in a walking tour through their living area. Using a booklet, the participants assess the characteristics of the landscape and describe the uses of the WUI and its associated fire risk attributes. A collective risk knowledge emerges from sharing contrasting feelings and opinions on WUI and ways to limit vulnerability individually and collectively. In a second stage, the participants present their landscape diagnostic and their views and concerns on forest fire risk prevention management to a group of local stakeholders representative of spatial planning and forest fire risk experts. The diversity of thought reveals new ideas that benefit spatial planning initiatives. This landscape mediation is a collaborative approach to increase public acceptance of forest fire management placing the inhabitant in a collective consideration of vulnerability reduction in his living area. The research helps sharing residents' perceptions of forest fire with decision-makers and fire risk experts to better understand how the community influences action or inaction on forest fire risk prevention management.

Full textAbstract:
The material discussed in this chapter concerns the experiential qualities and representations of how urban dwellers may occupy the city. The chapter aims at a better understanding of the multisensory city and at exploring how its mediations could add to representing, describing and designing city spaces in different and innovative ways. By advancing a new spectrum of experience and engagement, designers have the potential to shape the cities that are re-presented. Currently, there is a gap between the ‘planned' and the ‘lived' city and a lack of focus on socio-spatial practices often prevents a ‘potential' city from becoming an ‘effective' city. In order to bridge the gap, we can read the city in a different way, paying more attention to actual patterns of activity, in sensory terms. To do this we must look to multi- and interdisciplinary studies with a spatial focus on different sensory dimensions and urban life.

Full textAbstract:
As the phenomenon of globalization permeates across political and socio-cultural boundaries, one of its major effects is an increasingly homogenized spatial landscape. Lefebvre noted spatial production is “secreted” cultural production, so globalization is tantamount to an increasingly homogenized world culture. Designers who push back on spatial globalization eschew Modernism’s break from the past or Post-Modernism’s poly-narrative but literal u-topic emphasis, utilizing a design approach based on site-specific contextual and historic factors ranging from climate to socio-culturally produced typologies. Spatial typologies are synchronous with spatial production: their emergence, evolution and extinction exemplify a society’s material culture at specific places and times. e.g., nearly 46 centuries ago, Egyptian pyramids emerged as the salient funerary typology; thousands of years later, department stores typified the logic of capital, as the Industrial Revolution produced spaces that addressed the consumer demands of a growing bourgeoisie class. The emergence of Post-Modernism in arts and social sciences in the 1960s signaled a more liberating design approach because it embraced alternative design directions, including the reincorporation of traditional praxes of spatial production such as typologies. Rudofsky, in Architecture without Architects, reminded us that spatial production was not the exclusive domain of the formally trained designer but, more importantly, that vernacular space itself was a legible representation of a society’s values; typologies were once again important and merited documenting. Later, Pevsner noted in A History of Building Types “there is…no history of building types in existence.” Emulating the science of taxonomy, the paper proposes systematic criteria for identifying and categorizing typologies. In this approach, emphasis is placed on tracing changes in spatial morphologies over time, such that spatial relationships are revealed between earlier antecedent typologies and their contemporary iterations. This is possible because, like genetics, typologies reveal qualifying components that may illustrate iterative mutations, revealing “evolutionary drifts” or “selection processes.”

Full textAbstract:
Architectural thinking and design process have always been dependent upon the representational medium and language of architecture – conventional drawings, diagramming, models, and iconography, to name a few. As a result of technological advancement (therefore possibilities) and socio-economic change, representation techniques have evolved, from conventional processes to ‘augment-ed reality’. Representation techniques and means in the production of architecture are critical to cover the conceptual range in which architecture can be created. This paper places this issue within the larger heterogeneous culture comprising technological, social, eco-nomic aspects and aims to unravel the conceptual underpinnings of the existing architectural thinking, representational culture in India. It examines ‘drawing’ as a convincing and disciplinary medium of language and representation and steers towards a ‘representation-al maxim’ between technology and value, discipline and consumption, tradition and modernity in the context of architectural thinking process in India.The forces of capitalism, globalization, consumer culture, celebrity and media culture, visual culture, technocracy have been instrumental in creating reality-based representational systems, which are reluctant to engage with the discipline of architecture and think beyond it. Steenson1 remarks about Augmented Reality “A novel form of spatial representation, which substitutes for the actual experience”. With access to augmented reality technology, the client no longer has to interpret the traditional plans, section and elevations, nor look into printed photomontage or virtual walkthroughs. He will be able to stand in his yet to come living room, go, on foot, from there to the kitchen, visit the bedrooms and, by doing so, get an ‘augmented’ experience of those spaces. Software is the agent of consumption, and it is only in the architectural process (thinking & delving), that this consumptive culture subsides, notwithstanding the fact that, for many architects and students, software and technology are steadily and consciously becoming ‘ends’ rather than ‘means’ in the design process.

Urban segregation has been addressed mainly from the perspective of residential location, however, Moro et al (2011) indicate that it can also be observed from a dynamic approach. That is, the way people move during the day may reflect a new form of segregation that has not yet been studied. This article seeks to contribute methodologically to the measurement and representation of segregation from the potential of movement. To this end, it analyses how segregation has been constructed in the Metropolitan Area of Concepción (AMC) through its spatial component, which is constructed through the configuration of the built environment of the urban fabric using the theoretical and methodological tool Space Syntax. Finally, typologies of urban environments are proposed through geostatistics. The results contribute to the problematisation of socio-spatial segregation through its representation in space. La segregación urbana se ha abordado principalmente desde la perspectiva de la localización residencial, sin embargo, Moro et al (2011) indican que esta puede ser observada también a partir de un enfoque dinámico.

Este artículo busca contribuir metodológicamente a la medición y representación de la segregación desde el potencial de movimiento.

Por último, se proponen tipologías de entornos urbanos mediante geoestadística. Los resultados contribuyen a problematizar la segregación socioespacial a partir de su representación en el espacio.

Beyond being a shelter, houses are such structures which obtain meanings shaped by the influence of culture, particularly reflecting the society’s socio-cultural structure. As a time-khronos and space-topos pattern, the houses reflect the characteristics of the culture or ethnic group which they are part of, while on the other hand, they reflect the images of the individual’s essence as a communicative action. The effect of climate and typology, which are physical components of culture, as well as social components of culture, such as value systems, belief, lifestyle and habits, are cardinal factors in the formation of traditional houses. In this respect, traditional structures are visual representation spaces that narrates their own story, like verbal culture, and they convey their unique codes through visuality. This study, which discusses traditional architecture as a cultural text, aims to reveal traditional Urfa houses through analytical readings, within the context of visual semiology..

Full textAbstract:
Space as affording social interaction is highly debated subject among various epistemic disciplines. This research contributes to the discussion by shedding light on urban culture and community organisation in spatialised ways. Providing a case of London’s famous cultural quarter, Soho, the research investigates the physical and cultural representation of the neighbourhood and relates it to the evolving socio-spatial logic of the area. Utilising analytical methods of space syntax and its network graph theories that are based on the human perception of space, the research narrates the evolution in spatial configuration and its implication on Soho’s social morphology. The method used examines the spatial changes over time to evaluate the shifting identity of the area that was in the past an immigrant quarter and presently a celebrated gay village. The approach, therefore, combines analytical methods, such as network analysis, historical morphology analysis and distribution of land uses over time, with empirical methods, such as observations, auto-ethnography, literature, and photographs. Dataset comprises of street network graphs, historical maps, and street telephone and trade directories, as well as a list of literature, and data collected by the author through surveys. Soho’s cosmopolitanism and its ability to reinvent over time, when viewed through the prism of spatial cultures, help understand the potential of urban fabric in maintaining a time-space relationship and organisation of community life. Social research often tends to overlook the relationship between people and culture with their physical environment, where they manifest through the various practices and occupational distribution. In the case of Soho, the research found that there was a clear distribution of specific communities along specific streets over a certain period in the history. The gay bars were situated along Rupert and Old Compton Street, whereas the Jewish and Irish traders were established on Berwick Street, and so on. Upon spatial analysis of Soho and its surrounding areas, it was found that the streets of Soho were unlike that of its surrounding neighbourhoods. In Soho, the streets were organised with a certain level of hierarchy, and this hierarchy also shifted over time. This impacted the distribution of landuses within the area over time. Street hierarchy was measured through mathematical modelling of streets as derived by space syntax. In doing so, the research enabled viewing spaces and communities as evolving in parallel over time. In conclusion, by mapping the activities and the spatiality of Soho’s various cultural inhabitants over three historical periods and connecting these changes to the changing spatial morphology of the region, the research highlighted the importance of space in establishing the evolving nature of Soho. Such changes are visible in both symbolic and functional ways, from the location of a Govinda temple on a Soho square street, to the rise and fall of culture specific landuses such as gay bars on Old Compton Street. The research concludes by highlighting gentrification as an example of this time-space relation and addresses the research gap of studying spaces for its ability to afford changeability over time.

Full textAbstract:
This article proposes an interdisciplinary approach to the discourses surrounding the arrival and settlement of Caribbean immigrants in London. The theoretical approach draws on the interplay between theories on migrant memory (Derrida), discourse (Foucault) and spatial literary studies (Bhabha, Moslund) to examine the role of migration in the creation of the modern multicultural, cosmopolitan city against the racism encoded in the public discourse and the migration crisis reinforced by the British press. The research objective is to investigate the confluence of media representations, life narratives and fictional depictions of Caribbean immigrants in post-war London, as well as the ensuing changes and exchanges within the urban landscape caused by the flow of immigrants, in particular by the arrival of the first generation of Commonwealth immigrants on board the Empire Windrush, which marked the inception of a multicultural London and a superimposition of the cultural and spatial arrangement of the colonizer and the colonized. In addition to the ensuing hybrid spaces of modernity, it is argued that the discursive space generates cognitive maps and geographies of memory that offer an insight into the post-World War II spatial intersections and cultural disruptions, from the �hypermnesia� (Derrida) of the immigrants to their crossing of �landguage� (Moslund) borders. The narrative design rendered through a spatial lens advances an innovative portrayal of the modern city both as a geographical location and as a set of relations anchored in a socio-political reality.

En el entendido de que el espacio urbano se convierte en lugar, lugar de vivencias, y por
consiguiente, en un lugar que contiene un conjunto de significados, simbólicos y cognoscitivos
en el que se establecen lugares de identidad. De esta forma, el espacio urbano – ente hacedor
de cultura –, se constituye a través de un continuo proceso y reorganización de significados y
una constante construcción de nuevos como parte de las formas de identificación de una
sociedad determinada.
En este espacio de reflexión, se expone una visión puntualizada sobre la estructura socioespacial
de un barrio histórico-tradicional en el corazón de la ciudad de Guadalajara, México,
en el área conocida como San Juan de Dios, con la finalidad de poner en evidencia el continuo
proceso de transformación al que ha estado sujeto, en donde se evidencian las diferencias
sociales y significados que se ha producido y producen actualmente sobre éste. Todo ello
establecido a través de mapas sociales y la contrastación de éstos con las historias de vida,
memorias y narraciones personales obtenidas por parte de sus habitantes, como parte de la
reconstrucción de una historia y un pasado reciente que intentamos descifrar.
A través de estas historias, se logró tener una imagen simplificada de una realidad particular
del barrio, que dan forma a un conjunto de circunstancias o escenarios que reflejan el proceso
urbano y entorno social – expresado en un pequeño fragmento de la ciudad –, como parte de
los diferentes significados que articulan y producen el paisaje y el territorio urbano
contemporáneo. On the understanding that urban space it becomes place, place experience, and consequently,
in a place that contains a set of meanings and cognitive symbolic in establishing identity sites.
Thus, the urban space - being a maker of culture - is constituted through a continuous process
and reorganization of meanings and constantly building new forms part of identification of a
particular society. In this space of reflection, punctuated we provide an overview on socio-spatial structure of a
traditional historical section in the heart of the city of Guadalajara, Mexico, in the area known as
San Juan de Dios, in order to put in evidenced by the continuous process of transformation that
has been subject, where social differences are evident and meanings that has occurred and
currently produce over it. This established through the social mapping and contrasting these
with the life stories, memoirs and personal narratives obtained by its inhabitants, as part of the
reconstruction of a history and the recent past we tried to decipher.
Through these stories, we were able to have a simplified representation of a particular reality of
the neighborhood, that shape a set of circumstances or scenarios that reflect the urban process
and social environment - expressed in a small fragment of the city - as part the different
meanings that articulate and produce landscape and contemporary urban territory.
