Abstract

As designações cidade e campo têm desde sempre inspirado múltiplas leituras em geografia e sociologia, passando-se de uma abordagem centrada na caracterização e na evolução do campo e da cidade para novas abordagens que, nas últimas três décadas, consideram a emergência de espaços marcados pela urbanização estruturada em torno da acessibilidade. Este livro apresenta um conjunto de onze contribuições centradas em temas da geografia, retratados nas realidades de Brasil e Portugal, destacando abordagens sobre conceitos e dicotomias que remetem à relação entre cidade e campo, assim como análises de aspectos diversos, como agricultura, turismo, transporte e mobilidade, segurança, políticas públicas e desafios para o desenvolvimento dos territórios em ambos países. Os capítulos permitem entender panoramas que decorrem de trajetórias distintas no que tange à relação entre campo e cidade. No caso da realidade europeia, em que a revolução industrial incentivou o maciço êxodo dos campos para as cidades; e no contexto brasileiro, cujos processos de urbanização assumiram uma natureza política muito forte, a industrialização como motor de crescimento das cidades constituiu-se um fator mais tardio.

Abstract

Aimed at researchers, students and all interested in history, this multidisciplinary study offers a spectacular view of the history of Europe's largest lake. Adopting the lens of coastal history, this edited volume presents the development of the vast Great Lake's catchment area over a long-time span, from archaeological traces to Viking routes and from fishery huts to luxury villas of the power elite. It reflects on people's sensory-historical relationships with aquatic nature, and considers the benefits and harms of power plants and factories to human communities and the environment.The focus of the study is on the central and northern parts of the shores of Lake Ladoga, which belonged to Finnish rule between 1812 and 1944. The multidisciplinary approach permits an unusually wide range of questions. What has the Great Lake meant to local residents in cultural and emotional terms? How should we conceptualize the extensive and diverse networks of activities that surrounded the lake? What kind of Ladoga beaches did the Finns have to cede to the Soviet Union at the end of the war in 1944? How have Finns reminisced about their lost homelands? How have the Russians transformed the profile of the region, and what is the state of Ladoga's waters today?The volume is the first overall presentation of Lake Ladoga, which today is entirely part of Russia, aimed at an international readership. The rich source material of cross-border research consists of both diverse archival material and chronicles, folklore, reminiscence, and modern satellite images. The history of Lake Ladoga helps readers to understand better the economic, political, and socio-cultural characteristics of the cross-border areas, and the dynamics of the vulnerable border regions.

Abstract

Title in English: Moravian Karst and its Environs: Atlas for field work and outdoor activities. The atlas The Moravian Karst and its Environs includes an area which is used for outdoor activities by a number of schools not only from the Czech Republic, of all types and grades. The needs of fieldwork in the frame of teacher education at PdF MU were taken into consideration. The mission of the Atlas is to raise the desire to learn something new about processes which shaped and still shape the landscape of the Moravian Karst and its environs. The Atlas itself is composed of two parts. The first part is formed of thematically oriented maps with a scale of 1 : 160,000 and 1 : 400,000. It contains an overall overview of the chosen area and a description of its basic natural and cultural characteristics. The second part comprises detailed maps with a 1 : 20,000 scale which contain a huge amount of additional information. Its main goal is to support its users in their exploration of areas they choose from maps and thus help them to explore points of interest which are depicted by cartographic symbols.

Abstract

Les frontières africaines sont souvent décrites comme des cicatrices de la violence des impérialismes étrangers en Afrique. Ce lieu commun fait encore aujourd'hui partie des catégories qui fondent nos regards sur le continent. Mais ce discours, en cherchant à dénoncer l'arbitraire colonial, réduit les configurations territoriales africaines à de simples conséquences de la domination européenne et fait des populations africaines les spectateurs passifs de leur propre histoire. Aux antipodes de ce cliché, cet ouvrage propose une histoire longue de la constitution des frontières d'un État -- le Niger -- englobant dans un même regard un siècle d'histoire régionale et soixante ans de domination coloniale. Cette approche permet de mettre au jour la place des enjeux locaux et régionaux dans cette histoire de frontières et de territoires, et de révéler qu'au sein de ceux-ci la colonisation n'est qu'un moment parmi d'autres. Cet ouvrage raconte une histoire paradoxale, celle d'une poignée de militaires coloniaux qui, au début du xxe siècle, instituent dans les plus grandes difficultés un gouvernement précaire qui s'appuie très largement sur les organisations politiques et territoriales locales, contribuant ainsi à les vider de leur sens et à amoindrir leur importance. Cette appropriation coloniale des frontières a été si forte qu'elle a fini par faire oublier aux colonisateurs, tout comme aux sociétés concernées elles-mêmes, que leur origine était le plus souvent locale et avait été négociée avec les populations et les autorités politiques. Ces frontières furent marquées par les dynamiques historiques internes du Soudan central au xixe siècle, et notamment les répercussions du jihad d'Ousman dan Fodio. Pourtant, l'histoire de leur tracé a contribué à construire le grand récit d'Européens maîtres du jeu imposant sans considération le partage du monde.
