Abstract:

AbstractThis article explores the role of individuality in Europe's urban past. In so doing, it builds on Georg Simmel's famous article ‘The metropolis and mental life’ as well as recent work especially by Bernard Lahire, Niklas Luhmann and Uwe Schimank. The article brings out key sociological insights and links them to a range of studies by urban historians, which are thus revisited from a fresh angle. The focus is on three key dimensions of the modern city: first, sites of social and cultural life; secondly, politics and government; thirdly, non-humans such as material objects, animals and natural elements.

Abstract:

Quality of life is a concept used to describe the development of the welfare of society, and improving the quality of life is one of the most important goals of governments around the world. Informal settlements, as one of the most vulnerable urban areas, are always in unfavorable conditions in terms of various social, economic, and physical indicators. Therefore, the main purpose of this study is to investigate the status of various quality of life indicators in informal settlements around the metropolis of Tehran in Iran. This research is descriptive, analytical, and correlational based on primary data in which the initial data are collected through the documentary and survey (field) method using a questionnaire. The collected data were processed by SPSS and SmartPLS software. Based on the results of the t-test, quality of life indices in informal settlements around the metropolis of Tehran, on a Likert scale with an average of 23.2, is at a low level. Also, the results of the PSL path modelling and multivariate regression test show that increasing the quality of social, economic, physical, service, and access indicators, in terms of residents, has the greatest impact on improving the quality of life of this urban fabric and security index. It has the least impact. There is also a significant relationship between indicators, and the mental perspective of citizens changes under social, service, economic, and physical conditions.

Abstract:

The article presents a psychological analysis of the behavior features and interpersonal relations of students-managers in a metropolis. The relevance of the present work is determined by the fact that for young people, higher education is associated with a change in their social status when they move from direct dependence on their parents to independent actions and active life in a big city. The specifics of the urban space of a metropolis have a strong influence on their mental state and understanding of the world around them. The popularity of the manager’s profession among young people entering universities has also contributed to the relevance of the study. Young people set themselves the goal of “learning to manage and lead.” The conditions of the big city impose special requirements on future managers, focusing them on the implementation of adaptive psychological functions. The manager’s ability to conform to social attitudes, to create a pleasant impression for others becomes for him a professionally important quality. As a result, students face a paradoxical situation involving a system of “double standards”. In this regard, they encounter difficulties in social adaptation and the formation of stable interpersonal relationships. To solve this problem, an empirical study was conducted, which allowed determining the values of the main strategies of interpersonal relations based on a comparative analysis of the basic ideas of first-year students. Empirical data were obtained based on the psychological method by L.N. Sobchik “Diagnostics of interpersonal relations” (DIR). The results obtained make it possible to carry out preventive psychohygienic activities with students to form their social adaptability and maintain mental health.

Abstract:

Denne artikel har til formål at diskutere den sociologiske figur ”den fremmede i storbyen” igennem en teoretisk bearbejdelse af Georg Simmels Storbyerne og det åndelige liv og af hans Ekskurs om den fremmede samt af Gernot Böhmes atmosfærebegreb. Konklusionerne underbygges af en kvalitativ analyse af storbyboere, der sidder alene på to udvalgte caféer i København. Artiklen argumenterer indledningsvis for, at ”den fremmede” indtager en afgørende rolle i markante storbysociologiske positioners måde at fortolke storbyens sociale liv på – og at forståelsen af dette liv tager udgangspunkt i den fremmedes ambivalente karakter og derved implicerer, at denne er en potentiel kilde til uorden. Dette syn sætter jeg spørgsmålstegn ved og argumenterer for, at oplevelsen af den fremmede ikke kun kan kendetegnes ved ambivalens og uorden, men også ved en mere umiddelbar oplevelse af vedkommende – trygheden i at fornemme og sanse den andens nærvær i en bestemt rumlig atmosfære. Endeligt argumenterer jeg for, at Simmels egen teori danner fundamentet for en sådan sanselig opløsning af ambivalens hos den fremmede i storbyen. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Andreas Volquartz Overgaard: Groups of Strangers: Sitting Alone in a Café in Copenhagen This article discusses the sociological concept of ”the stranger in the metropolis” by way of a theoretical discussion of Georg Simmel’s The Metropolis and Mental life and The stranger. Gernot Böhme’s concept of atmosphere is employed to broaden Simmel’s conceptual framework. The empirical basis is a qualitative analysis of city dwellers who sit alone in two cafés in Copenhagen. In the introduction, the article argues that ”the stranger” plays a crucial role in the way important urban sociological theoretical positions understand the social life of the metropolis – and that these positions base their arguments on the ambivalent character of ”the stranger”, thereby implying him to be a potential source for disorder. I question these perspectives and argue that the experience of the stranger can not only be described through ambivalence and disorder, but also through an immediate experience of the stranger – the safety in feeling and sensing the presence of the other in a specific spatial atmosphere. Finally, I argue that Simmel’s own theory creates the basis for such a sensory dissolving of the stranger’s ambivalence in the metropolis. Keywords: Simmel, the stranger, the metropolis, atmosphere, the café.

Abstract:

Life in a modern metropolis is not only an interesting and eventful life, but also a source of numerous features for human life: imperfect environmental conditions, dietary habits, sleep disturbances and circadian rhythms, changes in psychological status (stress, depression, aggression, apathy) and reproductive health problems, especially in women. As defined by the World Health Organization, reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not simply the absence of disease in all areas related to the reproductive system, its functions and processes. Life in a big city for a woman of the reproductive period is often accompanied by a violation of the menstrual and ovulatory function, which can be attributed to the symptoms of the megalopolis syndrome. Since the 1980s, the frequency of menstrual irregularities has increased by more than 7 times. The doctor clinician, to whom a woman of the reproductive period with an irregular menstrual cycle first turns, should not only draw up a plan for examining a woman and exclude the presence of endocrine-gynecological disorders, but also collect a detailed history, including physical status (for example, calculating body mass index, analyzing fluctuations weight), dietary habits, sports history, medication intake, first assess the role of the psychosomatic factor. The correct pathogenetic approach in this situation will determine the correct therapeutic tactics for managing a woman.

Abstract:

Background: Adolescence is the second decade of life, the crucial period demanding significant adjustment in physical, psychological and social dimensions. The main aim of this study was to access the psychological problems of adolescents in Itahari sub-metropolis. Methods: A cross-sectional study design and consecutive sampling technique was adopted for the study. The study was conducted in selected schools of Itahari Metropolitan city. From the selected schools, students of class 7 to 12 with the age range of 11-19 years were included in the study. Sample size was calculated considering the prevalence of Psychosocial Problem of similar setting. The instrument for data collection was self-administered pediatric checklist for youth, an internationally valid tool, which was divided in three parts. Part I related to socio-demographic information, part II consisted of questions regarding family and school related factors and part III was the standard tool to measure psychosocial problem. Results: The prevalence of psychological morbidity on the basis of total difficulties score was found to be 23.9% (11) in male whereas 31.5% (17) was abnormal in female. Among males, 76.1% (35) was found to have normal scores as compared to 68.5% (37) in females although the difference was found to have no statistical significance. Conclusions: The adolescent age groups have to face various psychological problems and are likely to be very common. School mental health and social services have the potential to affect the prevalence of these and other psychological disorders by assisting in the assessment, referrals and management of the affected students.

Abstract:

Cittaslows are introduced as safe shelters that will save individuals from capitalist social conditions and alienation from daily life under the dominance of consumer culture in metropolises, emancipate them to build their own lives by making them realize their real needs. As of today, there are 264 Cittaslows worldwide and 18 in Turkey. The district of Seferihisar in the province of Izmir is the first Cittaslow in Turkey, having received the title in 2009. The district, which became a brand with its Cittaslow title, received considerable immigration from metropolises. However, as it became crowded, it started to face the same problems as big cities, lost its tranquility and it had to face the fact that some inhabitants already want to leave. This study attempts to analyze the changes that Seferihisar has endured since it was declared a Cittaslow by means of those who moved from metropolises in search for a more tranquil life. In this study, with a research design that follows a phenomenological approach, in addition to in-depth interviews with 7 people moved in from İstanbul, Ankara and İzmir, data collection methods like document analysis, expert opinion and observation were used. The findings indicate that small cities like Cittaslow Seferihisar might not be an alternative in the context of liberation from alienation since it reproduces the capitalist urban conditions. So, it is understood that individual emancipation needs to be mental, not spatial.

Abstract:

The article discusses the view of a metropolis, due to the formation of metropolis identity. This identity is associated with a complex of sociocultural, socio-psychological processes, including the process of socialization in a big city. In a metropolis, patriarchal stereotypes are manifested to a lesser extent than in small cities, which contribute to a more rigid consolidation of gender roles. There is a smoothing of the gender aspects of consciousness. This situation is due to the fact that, on the one hand, the socialization of residents of megacities, as well as residents of other territories, occurs within the framework of gender culture. But, on the other hand, residents of megacities in everyday life are much more likely to encounter practices that go beyond the framework of the traditional socio-gender system. The paper provides empirical examples illustrating the characteristics of a metropolitan identity. Gender smoothing is taking place when evaluating the activities of educational and cultural institutions. Approximately equal shares of men and women assess the activities of educational and cultural institutions as high-level work. The low -level work of educational and cultural institutions is also estimated by men and women in approximately equal proportions. The results of the study show that men living in megacities stand in solidarity with women in their assessments. This may indicate that men and women are equally involved in raising children, which reflects the process of smoothing out gender stereotypes. No gender differences were also found when studying respondents' assessments of certain aspects of the social sphere. It is shown that the gender aspects of consciousness remain when assessing the sphere of health care. Significant differences in assessments of health care institutions exist when studying the question of satisfaction with the quality of state medical services, the availability of medical care and the work of ambulances. It is concluded that the smoothing of the gender aspects of consciousness is caused not only by personal characteristics but also by the individual living in a big city.

Abstract:

Представлен обзор основных исследований, посвященных изучению городских и сельских приемных семей, приводится статистика устройства детей в приемные семьи в крупных городах и сельской местности. Цель исследования заключается в выявлении видов и взаимосвязи жизненных ценностей родителей и подростков в приемных семьях мегаполисов и сельской местности. Экспериментальное исследование направлено на выявление специфики жизненных ценностей, направленности личности приемных родителей мегаполиса и сельской местности. Исследованием было охвачено 156 приемных родителей мегаполиса и 148 приемных родителей сельской местности, 112 подростков, проживающих с приемными родителями мегаполиса, и 98 подростков, проживающих с приемными родителями в сельской местности, в возрасте 14–15 лет. Исследование жизненных ценностей, жизнестойкости приемных родителей и подростков осуществлялось посредством методики М. Рокича. Для изучения взаимосвязей между жизненными ценностями приемных родителей и подростков применялся критерий Спирмена (p). Выявлены предпочитаемые терминальные ценности и инструментальные ценности приемных родителей и подростков мегаполиса и сельской местности. Показаны равнозначные ранги, имеющие значение для приемных родителей и подростков мегаполиса по терминальным ценностям: здоровье, материально обеспеченная жизнь; расхождения обнаружены по таким ценностям, как жизненная мудрость, свобода, наличие хороших и верных друзей, познание. Получено совпадение по инструментальным ценностям – честность и образованность. Отмечено наличие совпадений у приемных родителей и подростков сельской местности по шкалам терминальных ценностей – здоровье, интересная работа, красота природы, счастливая семейная жизнь, счастье других, творчество, уверенность. Обнаружено совпадение по инструментальным ценностям – терпимость, смелость, эффективность, твердая воля, образованность, широта взглядов. Установлены взаимосвязи между инструментальными ценностями приемных родителей и подростков в приемных семьях мегаполиса и сельской местности, терминальными ценностями родителей и подростков в приемных семьях сельской местности и отсутствие таких связей в приемных семьях мегаполиса. Сделаны выводы о наиболее значимых факторах, влияющих на наличие и отсутствие взаимосвязей между родителями и подростками из приемных семей мегаполиса и сельской местности, таких как образ жизни, семейные традиции. Полученные результаты могут быть применены при отборе, подготовке и сопровождении приемных родителей в Центрах комплексного сопровождения замещающих семей. The authors present a review of the main studies devoted to the study of urban and rural foster families. Also they provide statistics on the placement of children in foster families in large cities and rural areas. The aim of the study was to identify the types and relationship of life values of parents and teenagers in foster families of metropolis and the countryside. The aim of experimental study is to identify the specifics of life values, the personality orientation of the adoptive parents of the metropolis and the countryside. The study covered 156 foster parents of the metropolis and 148 foster parents of the countryside, 112 teenagers living with foster parents of the metropolis, and 98 adolescents living with foster parents in the countryside, aged 14–15 years. The study of life values, resilience of foster parents and teenagers was carried out through the methodology of M. Rokich. To study the relationship between the life values of foster parents and adolescents, the Spearman criterion (p) was used. The authors of the real study have revealed the preferred terminal values and instrumental values of adoptive parents and teenagers of the metropolis and the countryside. They have also identified the equivalent ranks which are important for adoptive parents and teenagers of a metropolis according to terminal values: health, material well-being. The ones have found the discrepancies in such values as life wisdom, freedom, the presence of good and faithful friends, knowledge. The coincidence of instrumental values is honesty, education. The authors noted that there were coincidences between adoptive parents and teenagers of the countryside on the scales of terminal values – health, interesting work, the beauty of nature, a happy family life, the happiness of others, creativity, confidence. There was a coincidence in instrumental values – tolerance, courage, efficiency, firm will, education, breadth of views. The researches have established the interconnections between instrumental values of foster parents and teenagers in foster families of the metropolis and the countryside, the terminal values of parents and teenagers in foster families of the countryside and the absence of such connections in foster families of the metropolis. The researches have concluded the most significant factors affecting the presence and absence of relationships between parents and teenagers from foster families of the metropolis and the countryside are lifestyle, family traditions. The results can be applied in the selection, training and support of foster parents in the centers of comprehensive support of foster families.

The article is devoted to considering the specifics of the administrative and canonical status of the Belarusian Metropolis in the diaspora, during 1946–1956 stayed in the jurisdiction of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. The conclusion is drawn about what happened from 1950 to 1956 phasing down the status of the metropolis, which led to the cessation of its existence. One of the most important reasons for the liquidation of the Belarusian Metropolis in the diaspora seems to be the fear of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad bishop about the possible occurrence of disturbances in church life caused by the national question. The liquidation of the Belarusian Metropolis led to a deeper integration of Belarusian emigrants into the cultural environment of the Russian diaspora.

Abstract:

This article is devoted to the development of a new phenomenon in the field of social psychology of the city—satiety with living conditions in a metropolis. The study involved 87 people aged 18–30 years. The aim of the study was to identify and analyze the expression of the satiety of young Moscovites with living conditions in the metropolis, and its dependence on the sources of experience of this state. It was shown that satiety as a state of the human psyche performs the function of a protective mechanism from an overabundance of various stimuli from the surrounding world. The satiety with living conditions in the metropolis is a complex state that is caused by a variety of phenomena of social life in the urban environment: Excessive communication, an abundance of information, overpopulation, forced informatization of the urban environment, high rate of life, etc. It was found that satiety with living conditions in a metropolis has different forms of expression, such as emotional experiences and behavioral reactions. The article outlines perspectives for further research on the phenomenon of satiety in living conditions in a megacity in the direction of types, factors, and mechanisms of satiety.

Abstract:

Metro manila in 2006 is a labyrinthine, megalopolitan fortress of foreclosure. Almost all the main arteries of the metropolis have become virtually enclosed corridors of free-flowing vehicular traffic, without regulated crossings where pedestrians and cross-street flow might momentarily interrupt the stream of hundreds of thousands of cars, buses, and trucks careening down these roads every day. With the help of numerous “flyovers,” or overpasses, and underpasses built by the metropolitan government over the last decade and a half, these ten-lane roads have become highways that coast and tunnel through the thick of the city, connecting the scattered, archipelagic commercial centers and gated communities where the upper-class and upwardly mobile sectors work, live, shop, and socialize.

Abstract:

On January 21, 1727, the Irkutsk Diocese was established. Its opening was the result of Orthodoxy in spread in Eastern Siberia, which began in the 17th century. Irkutsk became the center of a new diocese. In 1727, there were 8 churches and 2 monasteries, while the city was developing dynamically while being the administrative center. In 1822, it included the territory of the Yenisei Province. The easternmost diocese of Russia turned out to be the largest in terms of territory – about 10 million square kilometers, occupying more than half of the entire territory of the country and extending over two continents. In 1826, the diocese was transferred from the 3rd grade to the 2nd grade, and its bishop became the archbishop. In the future, all the lords (church leaders) received the same rank, sometimes not immediately. An important event in its history was the canonization by the Synod in December 1804 of the first bishop Innokenty Kulchitsky. The most famous in Eastern Siberia was the Ascension Monastery, which became the spiritual center of the diocese. There were four churches, a chapel, a hotel, a school, cell buildings, and outbuildings. The high bell tower, the five-domed Ascension Cathedral, and other churches and buildings were distinguished by their beauty and richness. Dramatic events of the early twentieth century forced the Irkutsk clergy to take part in social and political life. In the emerging multi-party system, they relied on right-wing and centrist political parties. Under the Soviet regime, the Irkutsk diocese, as well as the Orthodox Church as a whole, was targeted by a wave of repressions (purges). The attitude of the state to religion began to change in the conditions of perestroika. This allowed the Orthodox Church to receive a powerful impetus for its development. The result of this was the establishment of the Irkutsk Metropolis, which included the Irkutsk, Bratsk and Sayan dioceses.

Abstract:

In this article, we explore how the history and myths about Artificial Life (AL) inform the pursuit and reception of contemporary AL technologies. First, we show that long before the contemporary fields of robotics and genomics, ancient civilizations attempted to create AL in the magical and religious pursuits of automata and alchemy. Next, we explore four persistent cultural myths surrounding AL—namely, those of Pygmalion, Golem, Frankenstein, and Metropolis. These myths offer several insights into why humanity is both fascinated with and fearful of AL. Thereafter, we distinguish contemporary approaches to AL, including biochemical or “wet” approaches (e.g., artificial organs), electromechanical or “hard” approaches (e.g., robot companions), and software-based or “soft” approaches (e.g., digital voice assistants). We also outline an emerging approach to AL that combines all three of the preceding approaches in pursuit of “transhumanism.” We then map out how the four historical myths surrounding AL shape modern society’s reception of the four contemporary AL pursuits. Doing so reveals the enduring human fears that must be addressed through careful development of ethical guidelines for public policy that ensure human safety, dignity, and morality. We end with two sets of questions for future research: one supportive of AL and one more skeptical and cautious.

Abstract:

In 1959 Reyner Banham challenged zoned urbanism by combining the Situationist psychogeographic drift with his love for Los Angeles. His essay “City as Scrambled Egg” (Banham, 1959) effectively produced a new urban image and introduced a new outlook on postwar modernization, communication, and leisure. The radicalization of contemporary life resonated in images of the city as decentralized, free, and in motion. While Le Corbusier had compared the city to an egg with demarcating zones and boundaries, Banham argued that motorization and telecommunications had long scrambled the city; “I don’t just mean in Los Angeles. A large part of the population of Europe already lives conurbatively” (Banham, 1959, p. 21). The entire region between Amsterdam and Rotterdam was already one conurbanized arena, effectively formulating an early definition of the megalopolis.Unlike CIAM’s city of the urban core with designated outskirts, thecenter was now seen to be everywhere. For Banham, this was theterrain of contemporary urbanization that needed to be understoodby holding prejudgments at bay and instead doing, what he called,“leg-work on the territory” (Banham, 1959, p. 21). But, as his ongoing fascinations with Futurism and post-war technologies revealed, this departure from modernist imagery of the city was not a disregard of modernist urban utopias but a way to rework these ideas towards a new kind of visionary; one that is less about forecasting the new and, instead, is contingent on a new optical vision of the existing city. A key site for his development of a different way of seeing the modernized urban world was the city of Los Angeles and particularly its traffic, which he called “Autopia.”

Abstract:

he existence of an efficient accessible and reliable infrastructure does not only serve as booster to the development of trade and interchange of a modern urban economics but it also inspires life through healthy living. This study examines the residents’ access to piped water and sanitation facilities (Roro-bins) in Ilorin metropolis. Both primary and secondary sources of data including questionnaire administration, documents in government agencies and journal articles were used for the study. A systematic-random sampling technique was adopted in the selection of 408 respondents from the selected households. Descriptive statistics such as tables, cross tabulations, charts and mean were used to analyze the data. The findings of the study revealed poor access of the residents to sanitation facilities and the residents were also poorly served with piped water; these two life enhancing facilities were not evenly distributed in the study area; many of the residents are stressed before accessing the facilities as majority spend above 30 minutes and walk a long distance before getting to the nearest piped water facility. The study suggests a need for social change from poor waste disposal attitude and the provision of more boreholes within the reach of the public to serve as alternative to piped water.

Abstract:

En torno a dos millones de personas trabajan en un país distinto del que residen. Aunque a nivel europeo los trabajadores transfronterizos constituyen una parte minoritaria de la población activa, en algunas regiones el trabajo transfronterizo tiene un peso importante. En tales regiones, el trabajo transfronterizo tiene numerosos impactos sobre el territorio y la población en términos de alojamiento, movilidad o poder adquisitivo, debido en especial a las diferencias salariales entre algunas regiones fronterizas, como entre Suiza y sus países vecinos. De hecho, Suiza es el país de Europa con el mayor número de trabajadores transfronterizos. La investigación sobre las regiones transfronterizas se ha concentrado fundamentalmente en los aspectos macroscópicos, como la integración económica o la cooperación transfronteriza, obviando parcialmente los efectos que el trabajo transfronterizo tiene sobre los territorios y sus habitantes. Este artículo se interesa a la relación entre trabajo transfronterizo y otros aspectos de la vida cotidiana, como el consumo o el ocio, y de forma más general a las condiciones de vida de la metrópolis trinacional de Basilea. Para ello, se ha realizado un estudio de los habitantes del área metropolitana de Basilea, en la cual el trabajo transfronterizo está largamente extendido – utilizando une metodología mixta con la realización de 15 entrevistas, seguidas de una encuesta cuantitativa (1615 individuos). Los resultados muestran que trabajar o no al otro lado de la frontera en Suiza tiene un fuerte impacto en las condiciones de vida e influencia la intensidad y/o el destino de las prácticas transfronterizas (ocio y consumo). Mientras que los trabajadores transfronterizos tienden a favorecer Suiza, este país es financieramente menos accesible para el resto de la población. El análisis de los modos de vida de los habitantes también pone de relieve dos problemas ligados al trabajo transfronterizo a los que hace frente la metrópolis trinacional de Basilea y que pueden generar tensiones en la población local, a saber 1) las grandes diferencias en las condiciones de vida entre los trabajadores transfronterizos y el resto de la población 2) el gran uso del vehículo particular por parte de los trabajadores transfronterizos.Recibido: 23 diciembre 2016 Aceptado: 26 febrero 2017 Publicación en línea: 02 mayo 2017

Abstract:

The environmental and social imperatives of twenty-first century cities require a rethinking of mortuary practices. Cemeteries across the globe are nearing capacity, and the number of deaths annually in the United States is increasing as the post-World War II generation ages. Despite their depletive and harmful environmental effects, casketed burial, cremation, and embalming have informed perceptions and policies, truncating access to alternatives. Although today's increasingly secular urban populations, for whom the health of the planet is paramount, are disconnected from “traditional” funerary rites, the importance of transitional mortal ritual endures. Through two design projects—one in an existing Victorian cemetery in Bristol, England, and the other augmenting iconic public infrastructure in New York City—this article argues for the potential of new disposition methods and enhanced public space. Countering the conventional dissociation of cemeteries from daily life, these new spaces of remembrance connect with the vitality of the city to promote intergenerational associations to family, culture, and environmental stewardship.

Abstract:

This issue of the Nineteenth-Century Music Review is devoted to Australia and more specifically to music-making in colonial Melbourne. The colony of Victoria was acknowledged as the cultural heart of Australia during the second half of the nineteenth century. Melbourne hosted two International Exhibitions in the 1880s and welcomed innumerable travelling musicians to its shores, where significant amounts of money could be made. Because of Melbourne's standing and cultural significance at the time and the extensive body of material available for study, the articles in this journal focus on this ‘metropolis of the Southern Hemisphere’. However, the activities discussed here can all be found, to varying degrees, in other parts of Australia as well. Liedertafels, for instance, were very prominent in Adelaide and its surrounding areas (and indeed still exist today), because of the significant German migration there. Philharmonic choirs were also widely established.

Abstract:

The concept of metropolitanism, long an accepted fact in Canadian life and letters, has assumed the status of a national myth. Canada is no longer a country structured simply as metropolis and hinterland. Resource wealth has fostered sustained hinterland development and created regional metropolitan centres which directly influence the nation's economic, social, and political life. The strength of regional cities today affects both the redirection of national life and the renewed expression of regionalism which currently characterizes Canada.

Abstract:

The objective of this article is to reflect upon the articulations between subjectivity and capitalism, the focal analysis on social life in contemporary metropolises. Inspired by Walter Benjamin, among other researchers, the author presents the narrow connection between the urban projects of Western cities and the forms of sensibility and the construction of the feeling of alterity. The article, using current scenes of daily life, underscores the singular characteristics of the production of subjectivities through contemporary capitalism, such as the disposability of social relations, the search for pleasure that is never satiated, the indifference, and the singular individualism of present day cities that predominates in the profusion of images of consumption and velocity.

Abstract. When regarding the changing world of today, both artists and cartographers attempt to map what they perceive and are increasingly compelled to go beyond static and unchangeable geometric plans which represent a constrained version of the dynamics of our lives. In so doing these skilled researchers are questioning the existing models of representation of reality, by placing a stronger accent on the way all connections are established at geopolitical, social and personal levels.Therefore, this project aims to draw attention to this, how living consciously in the contemporary world involves rethinking our self-projection in time. What follows are ideas for an art exhibition that depicts dynamic space-time and thematic aspects of individual lives, drawing from geographic and artistic representation, conveying as well the distinction between plastic spaces and behavioral ones (Forer, 1978). In moving forward, many models could be adapted to the changing individual status of the life traveler, represented in a 3D space-time exhibition room (Hagerstrand, 1970). Within the meta-space-time we have individual lifetime space-time paths traced by spherical structures, which themselves contain a more temporally specific daily path (Fig 1a). Being inside the flow of different events is more a case of switching between interchangeable references (or multiple spherical structures - Fig 1b) instead of using behavioral patterns to pigeon-hole the traveler in only one of a number of possible lifestyles, which is the static, invariant take. Therefore, many possible destinations and routes of each individual flow (Fig 1c) on today’s map are changeable too, leaving projected traces in space-time, because of differences in perception inside of the total flows within big urban metropolises.If we attempt to re-define a journey as a way to create all the spatial connections with others by including as well a specific way of being in time, we will realize that as a consequence of our real time or virtual behavior, each day becomes a new type of a journey inside of different flows. Our self-projections are multifaceted and directly related to the way we establish connections in the world, subject to disrupting forces, such as hurricanes (an alternative representation - Fig 1d).Another perspective on this is to regard the balloon or cloud as a result of environmental processes to visualize different flows that are happening and in which we are participating. It is more a result of the flows than a flow in itself. It can have different color because of the intensity of the process that are operating behind the flow (expressed through cartographic means, linking color to theme or emotion, Figure 2). Because it depends on how it appears, it can have different ways to be expressed: as a result of the connections of the city flows, a result of a daily exploration of space-time in a mental sense etc. But it appears because of the flows, which are interrupting the regular, grid-like patterns, just like emotions. Thus the ‘cloud’ has a double meaning as a psychological or mental symbol.A mental schema can also express how we move from one place into another: in Figure 3a we are staying at the same point inside of imaginary space-time, which moves in itself; in Figure 3b it is more about moving like a ping-pong pattern (moving and going back to the same place during one day, with the repetition and tedium that implies).Mental mapping in this context might consist as well of representing the physical path taken and one that comes from thoughts about clouds in the system of communication. As a result of connections and flows (Figure 4b), but not as a fixed result, a cloud can change its color, shape and can even disappear from the environment. It can be present as a potential resource, occurring within the perspective of a year, month or daily (Figure 4a) as a metaphor relating to everyday life. We define this self-projection in time as a result of these potential ever-evolving relationships and activities and we visualize them as a journey through the phenomenological qualities of the territory (e.g. Abbott, 2013). This is translated into the cartographic language of the planned 3D exhibition.

Abstract:

The rapid increase in urban population due to the influx of the citizenry in search for better conditions of life has resulted in poor environmental conditions in most urban and peri-urban settlements in the country. Municipal solid waste management (MSW) for that matter has become problematic within Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis as the city is being inundated with so much filth which has proven to be very difficult and seemingly impossible for the municipal authorities to tackle. This study investigates the nature of solid waste problem in Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis. A mixed methodological approach including field investigation, questionnaire survey, and structured and face-to-face interviews were employed in the gathering of data for the study. The key findings established to be the factors affecting effective solid waste management in the metropolis are irregular solid waste collection, inadequate operational funding, inappropriate technologies, inadequate staffing, inadequate skip, and lack of cooperation on the part of the citizenry.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTIn spite of a welcome and ever growing academic interest in the lives and work of twentieth-century women writers the Yorkshire novelist, Phyllis Bentley, has remained resolutely hidden from view. This article seeks to demonstrate her importance as a ‘middlebrow’ novelist, particularly in the 1930s, and to examine the ways in which her career sheds light on contemporary relationships between the ‘provincial’ and the ‘metropolitan’. Through consideration of both her private papers and her fiction, it analyses Bentley's complex relationship with both her home town of Halifax and the West Riding more widely. It argues that Bentley played a major role in creating a greater space within the national culture for the representation of provincial, especially northern, life, while also displaying a profound ambivalence toward that very life. While in many ways a passionate and articulate interpreter of the region in which she spent virtually all of her adult life, she also clearly felt constricted by her provincial location and cultural setting, especially when in contact with the London-based literary elite; her relationship with Vera Brittain was particularly highly charged in this regard.
