The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

This book investigates the sociohistorical making of place and people in Copenhagen from around 1900 to the present day. Drawing inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of social space and symbolic power and from Loïc Wacquant’s hypothesis of advanced marginality and territorial stigmatisation the book explores the genesis and development of the notorious neighbourhood of Copenhagen North West. As an extraordinary place the North West provides an illustrative case of Danish welfare and urban history that questions the epitome on inclusive Copenhagen. Through detailed empirical analysis the book spotlights three angles and entanglements of the social history of this area of Copenhagen: the production of socio-spatial constructions and authoritative categorisations of the neighbourhood especially by the state and the media; the local social pedagogical interventions and symbolic boundary drawings by welfare agencies in the neighbourhood; and the residents’ subjective experiences of place social divisions and (dis)honour. In this way The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis analyses how social symbolical and spatial structures dynamically intertwine and contribute to the fashioning of divisions of inequality and marginality in the city over the course of some 125 years. It will appeal to scholars of sociology urban studies and urban history with interests in social welfare. | The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe Reanimating Art

The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe Reanimating Art

This book examines the art of Cobra a network of poets and artists from Copenhagen Brussels and Amsterdam (1948–1951). Although the name stood for the organizers’ home cities the Cobra artists hailed from countries in Europe Africa and the United States. This book investigates how a group of struggling young artists attempted to reinvent the international avant-garde after the devastation of the Second World War to create artistic experiments capable of facing the challenges of postwar society. It explores how Cobra’s experimental often collective art works and publications relate to broader debates in Europe about the use of images to commemorate violent events the possibility of free expression in an art world constrained by Cold War politics the breakdown of primitivism in an era of colonial independence movements and the importance of spontaneity in a society increasingly dominated by the mass media. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history 20th-century modern art avant-garde arts and European history. | The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe Reanimating Art

Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities Transforming Streets to Address Climate Change

Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities Transforming Streets to Address Climate Change

Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities outlines and explains adaptation urbanism as a theoretical framework for understanding and evaluating resilience projects in cities and relates it to pressing contemporary policy issues related to urban climate change mitigation and adaptation. Through a series of detailed case studies this book uncovers the promise and tensions of a new wave of resilient communities in Europe (Copenhagen Rotterdam and London) and the United States (New Orleans and South Florida). In addition best practice projects in Amsterdam Barcelona Delft Utrecht and Vancouver are examined. The authors highlight how these communities are reinventing the role of streets and connecting public spaces in adapting to and mitigating climate change through green/blue infrastructure planning maintaining and enhancing sustainable transportation options and struggling to ensure equitable development for all residents. The case studies demonstrate that while there are some more universal aspects to encouraging adaptation urbanism there are also important local characteristics that need to be both acknowledged and celebrated to help local communities thrive in the era of climate change. The book also provides key policy lessons and a roadmap for future research in adaptation urbanism. Advancing resilience policy discourse through multidisciplinary framework this work will be of great interest to students of urban planning geography transportation landscape architecture and environmental studies as well as resilience practitioners around the world. | Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities Transforming Streets to Address Climate Change

Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice

Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice

The term climate justice began to gain traction in the late 1990s following a wide range of activities by social and environmental justice movements that emerged in response to the operations of the fossil fuel industry and later to what their members saw as the failed global climate governance model that became so transparent at COP15 in Copenhagen. The term continues to gain momentum in discussions around sustainable development climate change mitigation and adaptation and has been slowly making its way into the world of international and national policy. However the connections between these remain unestablished. Addressing the need for a comprehensive and integrated reference compendium The Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice provides students academics and professionals with a valuable insight into this fast-growing field. Drawing together a multidisciplinary range of authors from the Global North and South this Handbook addresses some of the most salient topics in current climate justice research including just transition urban climate justice and public engagement in addition to the field’s more traditional focus on gender international governance and climate ethics. With an emphasis on facilitating learning based on cutting-edge specialised climate justice research and application each chapter draws from the most recent sources real-world best practices and tutored reflections on the strategic dimensions of climate justice and its related disciplines. The Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice will be essential reading for students and scholars as well as being a vital reference tool for those practically engaged in the field.

History Archaeology and The Bible Forty Years After Historicity Changing Perspectives 6

History Archaeology and The Bible Forty Years After Historicity Changing Perspectives 6

In History Archaeology and the Bible Forty Years after Historicity Hjelm and Thompson argue that a ‘crisis’ broke in the 1970s when several new studies of biblical history and archaeology were published questioning the historical-critical method of biblical scholarship. The crisis formed the discourse of the Copenhagen school’s challenge of standing positions which—together with new achievements in archaeological research—demand that the regional history of ancient Israel Judaea and Palestine be reconsidered in all its detail. This volume examines the major changes that have taken place within the field of Old Testament studies since the ground breaking works of Thomas Thompson and John van Seters in 1974 and 1975 (both republished in 2014). The book is divided in three sections: changing perspectives in biblical studies history and cult and ideology and history presenting new articles from some of the field’s best scholars with comprehensive discussion of historical archaeological anthropological cultural and literary approaches to the Hebrew Bible and Palestine’s history. The essays question: How does biblical history relate to the archaeological history of Israel and Palestine? and Can we view the history of the region independently of a biblical perspective? by looking at the problem from alternative angles and questioning long-held interpretations. Unafraid to break new ground History Archaeology and the Bible Forty Years after Historicity is a vital resource to students in the field of Biblical and East Mediterranean Studies and anyone with an interest in the archaeology history and religious development in Palestine and the ancient Near East. | History Archaeology and The Bible Forty Years After Historicity Changing Perspectives 6

Unequal Cities The Challenge of Post-Industrial Transition in Times of Austerity

Unequal Cities The Challenge of Post-Industrial Transition in Times of Austerity

This seminal edited collection examines the impact of austerity and economic crisis on European cities. Whilst on the one hand the struggle for competitiveness has induced many European cities to invest in economic performance and attractiveness on the other national expenditure cuts and dominant neo-liberal paradigms have led many to retrench public intervention aimed at preserving social protection and inclusion. The impact of these transformations on social and spatial inequalities – whether occupational structures housing solutions or working conditions – as well as on urban policy addressing these issues is traced in this exemplary piece of comparative analysis grounded in original research. Unequal Cities links existing theories and debates with newer discussions on the crisis to develop a typology of possible orientations of local government towards economic development and social cohesion. In the process it describes the challenges and tensions facing six large European cities representative of a variety of welfare regimes in Western Europe: Barcelona Copenhagen Lyon Manchester Milan and Munich. It seeks to answer such key questions as:What social groups are most affected by recent urban transformations and what are the social and spatial impacts? What are the main institutional factors influencing how cities have dealt with the challenges facing them? How have local political agendas articulated the issues and what influence is still exerted by national policy? Grounded in an original urban policy analysis of the post-industrial city in Europe the book will appeal to a wide range of social science researchers Ph. D. and graduate students in urban studies social policy sociology human geography European studies and business studies both in Europe and internationally. | Unequal Cities The Challenge of Post-Industrial Transition in Times of Austerity

Volume 7 Tome III: Kierkegaard and His Danish Contemporaries - Literature Drama and Aesthetics

Volume 7 Tome III: Kierkegaard and His Danish Contemporaries - Literature Drama and Aesthetics

The period of Kierkegaard's life corresponds to Denmark's Golden Age which is conventionally used to refer to the period covering roughly the first half of the nineteenth century when Denmark's most important writers philosophers theologians poets actors and artists flourished. Kierkegaard was often in dialogue with his fellow Danes on key issues of the day. His authorship would be unthinkable without reference to the Danish State Church the Royal Theater the University of Copenhagen or the various Danish newspapers and journals such as The Corsair F¦drelandet and Kj¸benhavns flyvende Post which played an undeniable role in shaping his development. The present volume features articles that employ source-work research in order to explore the individual Danish sources of Kierkegaard's thought. The volume is divided into three tomes in order to cover the different fields of influence. Tome III is dedicated to the diverse Danish sources that fall under the rubrics Literature Drama and Aesthetics. The Golden Age is known as the period when Danish prose first established itself in genres such as the novel; moreover it was also an age when some of Denmark's most celebrated national poets flourished. Accordingly this tome contains articles on Kierkegaard's use of the great Danish poets and prose writers whose works are frequently quoted and alluded to throughout his writings. Kierkegaard regularly attended dramatic performances at Copenhagen's Royal Theater which was one of Europe's leading playhouses at the time. In this tome his appreciation for the art of Denmark's best-known actors and actresses is traced. Finally this tome features articles on the leading literary critics and aesthetic theorists of the Golden Age who served as foils for Kierkegaard's own ideas. | Volume 7 Tome III: Kierkegaard and His Danish Contemporaries - Literature Drama and Aesthetics
