Abstract

Rural America is undergoing a dramatic and sustained post-industrial economic transition. This book draws on contemporary concepts of ex-urbanization, rural amenity-based development, and increased conurbation to argue that that the character of rural housing reflects this transition. The work argues that housing policy must hence be modified to reflect such radical economic and societal changes.

Abstract

Over the past thirty years, China's cities became home to 500 million new residents. China's urban population is on track to reach 1 billion by 2030. The rapid expansion of urban China is astonishing, but new policies are urgently needed to create healthier cities. Combining on-the-ground reportage and up-to-date research, this pivotal book explains why China has failed to reap many of the economic and social benefits of urbanization, and suggests how these problems can be resolved.

Abstract

Spectaculaire, l’essor des grandes villes indiennes n'est pas le résultat d’un exode rural qui viderait peu à peu les campagnes. Bien au contraire, la population villageoise continue de croître, et l’essentiel des migrations indiennes sont intra-rurales. Fruit d’une recherche de terrain conduite dans le sud du pays, ce livre éclaire, en des milieux divers, les logiques d’enracinement paysan et les multiples stratégies de mobilité, bien plus complexes que ne le suggèrent les modèles dominants du comportement migratoire. Territoires, ressources, idéologie et parenté dessinent ainsi sans déterminisme sommaire l’éventail des choix possibles, auxquels chaque famille ou presque est confrontée, dans un large cadre socio-économique en constante évolution.

Abstract

Ruinen und Lost Places sind gleichermaßen Symbole der Vergänglichkeit und Zeichen von Zerstörungsakten. Ihre Betrachtung löst divergente Emotionen aus. Was wird aus diesen Orten? Wer bestimmt darüber? Und wie und aus welchen Gründen werden Ruinen zum Gegenstand medialer oder künstlerischer Auseinandersetzungen? Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes nehmen sich dieser Fragen an, indem sie Ruinen als aufgegebene und im Verfall befindliche Architekturen oder Stadtlandschaften verstehen: Von den ›malerischen‹ Resten antiker Bauten über stillgelegte Industrie- oder Militärareale und verlassene Wohnbauten bis hin zu ›neuen‹ Investitionsruinen.

Abstract

Raised to be "flowers of the nation," the first generation born after the founding of the People's Republic of China was united in its political outlook and at first embraced the Cultural Revolution of 1966, but then split into warring factions. Investigating the causes of this fracture, Guobin Yang argues that Chinese youth engaged in an imaginary revolution from 1966 to 1968, enacting a political mythology that encouraged violence as a way to prove one's revolutionary credentials. This same competitive dynamic would later turn the Red Guard against the communist government.Throughout the 1970s, the majority of Red Guard youth were sent to work in rural villages, where they developed an appreciation for the values of ordinary life. From this experience, an underground cultural movement was born. Rejecting idolatry, these relocated revolutionaries developed a new form of resistance that signaled a new era of enlightenment, culminating in the Democracy Wall movement of the late 1970s and the Tiananmen protest of 1989. Yang's final chapter on the politics of history and memory argues that contemporary memories of the Cultural Revolution are factionalized along these lines of political division, formed fifty years before.
