El Fútbol: Espacio Público De La Representación, Fernando Carrión Mena
El Fútbol: Espacio Público De La Representación, Fernando Carrión Mena
Fernando Carrión Mena
El fútbol: representaciól1 que visibiliza
El fútbol no es un espejo ni un reflejo de la sociedad, es simplemente parte de ella y como tal, un escenario de la representación social donde, por un lado, se visibilizan muchos de sus componentes y, por otro, se materializa un simbolismo colectivo. Es un ámbito donde -simultáneamente- uno se ve y es visto; porque es un espacio con gran densidad de representación.
La primera y quizás más importante expresión de la afirmación tiene que ver con la relación entre sociedad y fútbol que la definiera Francisco Maturana (1997), en una entrevista realizada por …
The Re-Emergence Of Traditional Architecture In Greece: Kefalonia And Ithaka, Nicholas Patricios
The Re-Emergence Of Traditional Architecture In Greece: Kefalonia And Ithaka, Nicholas Patricios
Nicholas Patricios
The interest in antiquities in Greece began after the conclusion of the revolution that led to independence of the country in 1832. A brief history of the legislation to protect the country’s architectural heritage is traced up to the historic landmark law of 2002 that defined the concept of cultural heritage and the re-organization of government departments to achieve the law’s objectives. Beginning in the 1920s and parallel with the protection of antiquities a movement to preserve Greek vernacular architecture was undertaken that was recognized in the landmark law of 1978. The application of the laws of protection and preservation …

From Object To Installation In Bruno Taut’S Exhibit Pavilions, Kai K. Gutschow
From Object To Installation In Bruno Taut’S Exhibit Pavilions, Kai K. Gutschow
Kai K. Gutschow
This paper, part of a JAE special issue on "Installations by Architects," investigates the artistic and philosophical origins of Bruno Taut’s Glashaus (1914) exhibit pavilion in order to reinterpret the famous building as an experimental, free-standing “installation” that rose above being merely a pragmatic exhibition space. In close collaboration with the critic Adolf Behne and the Expressionist poet Paul Scheerbart, Taut designed a three dimensional manifesto for a utopian “glass architecture” that sought to express “a higher passion to build.” Both the collaborative construction process he envisioned and the radical new experiences inside were intended as vehicles to greater cultural, …

Homeland Security: Engaging The Frontlines - Symposium Proceedings, George H. Baker, Cheryl J. Elliott
George H Baker
The rise of the American homeland security endeavor under the leadership of the new Department of Homeland Security has been heralded by several major national strategy documents. These documents have served to organize efforts at top levels within the government and industry. However, the national strategy guidance is not getting to many organizations and people at the grass-roots level who can make the most difference in preventing attacks, protecting systems, and recovering from catastrophic events, viz. the general citizenry, private infrastructure owners, and local governments. To better understand grass-roots issues and solutions, James Madison University, in cooperation with the Federal …

Review Of Hispanic Spaces, Latino Places: Community And Cultural Diversity In Contemporary America, Ed. Daniel D. Arreola, Clara Irazabal
Clara Irazabal
A welcome addition to the understudied field of Latino cultures and their linkages to place, this book transcends the common approaches to the study of demographic, racial, political, and cultural changes brought about by the fastest growing ethnic group in the U.S., to focus instead on Latinos' "different geographies, and social adjustments to diverse places" (p. 1). Contributors were selected from presenters at the 2002 Association of American Geographers meeting in Los Angeles, but most of the authors are not Latino or female.

This research identifies characteristics, which are the Theme, Identity, Functions and Authenticity of some current riverfront developments, mainly focusing in urban areas.

Case studies selected were from South East Asia within Singapore and Sarawak in Malaysia. These examples will then be compared with London and Boston, USA. Much attention will be given to paying high respect to the cities' character and to acknowledging …

Rehabilitating Rehab Through State Building Codes, Sara C. Bronin
Rehabilitating Rehab Through State Building Codes, Sara C. Bronin
Sara C. Bronin
Building codes are not neutral documents. Traditional codes have the effect of deterring the rehabilitation of older structures. But rehabilitation - which can have many positive effects, especially on cities - should be encouraged, not deterred. One promising method of encouraging rehabilitation has been the adoption of rehabilitation codes: building codes that establish flexible but clear requirements for renovators. After analyzing traditional building codes and three different rehabilitation codes, this Note concludes that more states should adopt rehabilitation codes on a mandatory basis.
