City Regeneration and the Making of an Urban Experience
1 CHAPTER ONE: Mapping Thoughts and Establishing Direction 2 INTRODUCTION A whole history remains to be written of spaces – which would at the same time be the history of powers – from the great strategies of geopolitics to the little tactics of the habitat - Michel Foucault, 1980 as cited in Rotenberg 1995:1 The link between space making and power that Michel Foucault emphasises, underpins the significance of the Nelson Mandela Bridge’s (MNB) as an emblem for Johannesburg’s inner city regeneration1. This anthropological research looks at the NMB’s geo-historical, political and symbolic references and its position in the heart of the inner city; a project after apartheid bearing the name of Nelson Mandela to launch the city as a “world-class African [one]” 2. This investigation into the meanings of the NMB reflects on Johannesburg’s changing social dynamics by outlining selected experiences in the inner city during apartheid as a way to make sense of everyday expectations and experiences in the city’s downtown today. The meanings of the project are located in the juxtaposition of ordinary people’s expectations after apartheid with local, regional and national economic interests that combine with private enterprise to promote the city globally. I am interested in everyday responses to the project from people who live and trade informally in the inner city. This research looks at the arbitrariness of the project’s inception, its progressive planning and now also the contradictions inherent in its branding and official marketing. It is argued that the latter reflects the elitist aspirations of the urban developers that use the project’s emblematic significance to promote the inner city locally, nationally and internationally. -

“International Parliamentarians and the Question of Palestine”
VIRTUAL EVENT “International Parliamentarians and the Question of Palestine” Convened by the UN Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP) 12 November 2020 ______________________________________________________________________________ CHAIR SUMMARY The virtual event “International Parliamentarians and the Question of Palestine” was convened on 12 November 2020 under the auspices of the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People (CEIRPP). The event was moderated by Ambassador Cheikh Niang, Chair of the Committee and Permanent Representative of Senegal to the United Nations. It consisted of an opening session with remarks by the Chair and Minister Riyad Mansour, Permanent Observer of the State of Palestine to the United Nations. The panel was comprised of Ms. María Arena, Member of the European Parliament and Chair of the Subcommittee on Human Rights; Mr. Mandla Mandela, Member of the National Assembly of South Africa; and Ms. Betty McCollum, Member of the United States Congress. Member States participated in the two-hour event on WebEx, which was also livestreamed on UNTV. Viewers watched the conference on UN WebTV and had an opportunity to make comments and pose questions to the panellists on the Committee’s social media pages and via WhatsApp. At the opening, Ambassador Niang reiterated the important role played by national and regional parliaments as well as interparliamentary unions towards resolving the Israeli- Palestinian conflict through shaping public opinion, formulating public policies and upholding international legitimacy in support of a comprehensive and just settlement of the question of Palestine. Parliamentarians promoted diplomatic recognition of the State of Palestine, pressed for the implementation of international law by the executive branches in their respective countries and built on the advocacy of civil society organizations to put forward draft bills. -
Creative Industries and Urban Tourism: South African Perspectives
Creative Industries and Urban Tourism 149 Creative Industries and Urban Tourism: South African Perspectives Christian M. Rogerson INTRODUCTION Richards and Wilson (2006a) categorise under four major headings the mul- tiple different strategies used by cities in “developing distinction in tourism”. First, is the construction of major new landmarks or flagship developments that aim to become symbolic icons for a city’s identity (Evans, 2003). Alongside such international examples as Bilbao’s Guggerheim Museum, African illustrations would include the Nelson Mandela Bridge in Johannesburg and the proposed Mandela “Liberty” statue at Port Elizabeth harbour. Second, is the attraction of mega-events or expositions, which is now a standard strategy that many cities compete fiercely to employ (Garcia, 2004; Kurtzman, 2005; Richards and Wil- son, 2006a), including also developing world cities such as Cape Town (Padayachee, 1997; Hiller, 2000; Hall, 2004). “Thematisation” is viewed as the third basis for strategies for urban regeneration and involves cities seeking to distinguish themselves by focussing on a specific theme, such as culture, sport, arts or entertainment and marketing themselves variously as “cultural capital” or “24 hour cities” (Law, 1992, 1993; Swarbrooke, 1999, 2000; McCarthy, 2002). The final category is that of “heritage mining” through which cities attempt “to re-develop themselves through the revalorisation of cultural heritage, usually with an emphasis on the built heritage” (Richards and Wilson, 2006a). In the develop- ing world, Havana provides one of best examples of this strategy for urban tour- ism promotion (Colantonio and Potter, 2006). The success of these various different approaches towards tourism-led urban regeneration has been observed to be both spatially and temporally uneven, with some cities enjoying periods of revitalisation, which are often followed, however, by a need for further re-invention or refreshment through the development of newer tourism products. -

Nous les finalisons au fur et à mesure. Merci de votre compréhension Axe 1 Intergenerational relationships Vivre entre générations Axe 1 Intergenerational relationships Vivre entre générations Programme Les bouleversements démographiques amènent des modifications dans les liens intergénérationnels (vieillissement de la population, allongement du temps des études et du temps de travail). La notion de conflits des générations se trouve souvent remplacée par celle du lien intergénérationnel. Celle-ci concerne la nécessité de penser autrement les relations entre les différents âges de la vie, notamment entre les personnes âgées et les (très) jeunes. Comment sont envisagés ces liens intergénérationnels dans les sphères dont on étudie la langue ? Sur quelles traditions se fondent-ils selon les cultures ? Dans quelle mesure les rapports entre générations se trouvent-ils bousculés, sont-ils réinventés ? Les limites définissant les générations sont parfois déplacées : au « jeunisme » des anciens, pourrait être opposé le « syndrome de Peter Pan » chez de jeunes adultes nostalgiques de leur enfance. À l’inverse, des enfants se trouvent investis de responsabilités qui incombent normalement aux adultes. Comment la presse, la littérature, les séries télévisées, la publicité rendent-elles compte de toutes ces mutations – sur le mode comique, parodique ou encore en adoptant la forme du réalisme social, voire de manière factuelle à travers le reportage ? Séquence 1 : How is the Irish heritage passed on? Cette séquence illustre différents aspects de l’identité culturelle irlandaise et offre un tableau des relations intergénérationnelles et de l’évolution d’un patrimoine unique. -
