Though teachers and staff may be casually dressed and in general not very formal, everybody appreciates polite address and politely written emails. Be aware of different communication styles due to cultural differences. If you do not know who to contact or have questions on the best way to approach somebody, you can always ask the Humanities’ International office or the Graduate School of Humanities for advice. www.student.uva.nl > [your programme] > A-Z 4 Practical information UvA website On the UvA website in the upper right hand corner is a search engine where you can search for information and contact details of teachers and other UvA staff.

Philosopher Richard Rorty, who died last Friday, famously said: ‘[Solidarity] is created by increasing our sensitivity to the particular details of the pain and humiliation of other, unfamiliar sorts of people. Such increased sensitivity makes it more difficult to marginalise people different from ourselves by thinking, “They do not feel as WE would,” or “There must always be suf- fering, so why not let THEM suffer?”’ Some seek solidarity by making films in war zones. Others take photographs of people making goofy faces in war zones. Meanwhile, the military com- plex reveals its two sides. First, there’s cuddly teddy bear-faced Battlefield Extraction Assist Robot (BEAR) to res- cue wounded troops. Second, the Pentagon confirmed this week it seri- ously thought about developing a ‘gay bomb’ that would shower hormones on troops and make them—quote—’irre- sistibly attractive to one another’. And to think the Chinese regard ‘may you live in interesting times’ as a curse.

All Pages In Urban Europe, urban researchers and practitioners based in Amsterdam tell the story of the European city, sharing their knowledge – Europe Urban of and insights into urban dynamics in short, thought- provoking pieces. Their essays were collected on the occasion of the adoption of the Pact of Amsterdam with an Urban Agenda for the European Union during the Urban Europe Dutch Presidency of the Council in 2016. The fifty essays gathered in this volume present perspectives from diverse academic disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences. Fifty Tales of the City The authors — including the Mayor of Amsterdam, urban activists, civil servants and academic observers — cover a wide range of topical issues, inviting and encouraging us to rethink citizenship, connectivity, innovation, sustainability and representation as well as the role of cities in administrative and political networks. With the Urban Agenda for the European Union, EU Member States of the city Fifty tales have acknowledged the potential of cities to address the societal challenges of the 21st century. This is part of a larger, global trend. These are all good reasons to learn more about urban dynamics and to understand the challenges that cities have faced in the past and that they currently face. Often but not necessarily taking Amsterdam as an example, the essays in this volume will help you grasp the complexity of urban Europe and identify the challenges your own city is confronting. Virginie Mamadouh is associate professor of Political and Cultural Geography in the Department of Geography, Planning and International Development Studies at the University of Amsterdam.

  • Occupation Culture Art & Squatting in the City from Below
    Minor Compositions Open Access Statement – Please Read This book is open access. This work is not simply an electronic book; it is the open access version of a work that exists in a number of forms, the traditional printed form being one of them. All Minor Compositions publications are placed for free, in their entirety, on the web. This is because the free and autonomous sharing of knowledges and experiences is important, especially at a time when the restructuring and increased centralization of book distribution makes it difficult (and expensive) to distribute radical texts effectively. The free posting of these texts does not mean that the necessary energy and labor to produce them is no longer there. One can think of buying physical copies not as the purchase of commodities, but as a form of support or solidarity for an approach to knowledge production and engaged research (particularly when purchasing directly from the publisher). The open access nature of this publication means that you can: • read and store this document free of charge • distribute it for personal use free of charge • print sections of the work for personal use • read or perform parts of the work in a context where no financial transactions take place However, it is against the purposes of Minor Compositions open access approach to: • gain financially from the work • sell the work or seek monies in relation to the distribution of the work • use the work in any commercial activity of any kind • profit a third party indirectly via use or distribution of the work • distribute in or through a commercial body (with the exception of academic usage within educational institutions) The intent of Minor Compositions as a project is that any surpluses generated from the use of collectively produced literature are intended to return to further the development and production of further publications and writing: that which comes from the commons will be used to keep cultivating those commons.

  • 1 Rethinking Cultural Diversity: Strategic Communication and Value
    Rethinking cultural diversity: strategic communication and value for pop music venues Eight qualitative case studies in The Netherlands Student name: Eline Huisman Student number: 478765 Supervisor: Dr. Noemi Mena Montes MA Media & Business Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication Erasmus University Rotterdam Master’s Thesis June 25, 2018 RETHINKING CULTURAL DIVERSITY: STRATEGIC COMMUNICATION AND VALUE FOR POP MUSIC VENUES 1 Abstract Dutch multicultural cities are becoming increasingly culturally diverse. At the same, Dutch politicians are urging cultural organisations in the Netherlands to implement cultural diversity more structurally into their organisations. In reaction, the cultural sector initiated a Code Cultural Diversity, suggesting cultural diversity can be implemented regarding the organisation's program, public, partners and personnel. At the same time, cultural organisations are relatively running behind when it comes to applying a strategic communication. By conducting in-depth interview with eight pop music venues and a qualitative content analysis on online communication, this study examined how cultural diversity can be efficiently implemented as a value proposition by Dutch pop music venues in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Utrecht. Results showed that cultural diversity is collectively understood as different groups of people being represented together at one place. Program and publics are discussed mostly in relation to differences between music genres and sub cultures. Even though most music venues perceive cultural diversity as an important additional societal value, few venues are actively implementing cultural diversity as much as they'd like to. At the same time, some venues experience improvement in a more culturally diverse program and public, even though most of them are still exploring the opportunities for now.

  • AA the Metro Network of Music (Arnold De Boer)
    The metro network of music Far below sea level, in the basement of the underground of the Rhine and Meuse delta you find people and places that are connected to a world wide network of autonomous music. It can be described as a subway network where musicians and music fanatics travel from station to station but also are part of a station themselves. Those people are the ones who set up shows, volunteer at the venues, squats or bars, put down matrasses for artists, stick posters on the walls, spam the social media and cook the meals for all people involved in the show of some particular night. And most often they are a musician or a DJ or a booker or label owner or a promoter or a record seller too. I am such a person; a musician but also promoter and volunteer at an underground music venue and quite often artists sleep at my house. I have also done around 2000 gigs in at least 35 different countries and met like- minded people everywhere. All the time there were people waiting for me, who set up a show, organize food and drinks and a place to sleep, did the promotion and arranged a stage and sound system. I know them through other musicians or because they passed by Amsterdam and invited me to their neck of the woods. This network goes all over Europe and North America but also pretty deep into South America, Asia and Australia and is sometimes touching Africa too. In January 2015 a little baby was born, my first child, and I decided for this year to not book three week Zea (my solo project) tours.
