Urban Transport ROADMAP ROADMAP TOWARDS THE WHITE PAPER GOAL ON URBAN MOBILITY © BAPTS URBAN MOBILITY ROADMAP 1 This project is co-funded by the European Union ROADMAP towards goal 1 of the White Paper on Transport: »Halve the use of ‘conventionally-fuelled’ cars in urban transport by 2030; phase them out in cities by 2050; achieve essentially CO2-free city logistics in major urban centres by 2030.« The research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme [FP7/2007-2013] under grant agreement n° MOVE/FP7/321565/TRANSFORUM. The TRANSFORuM consortium: The TRANSFORuM Project was coordinated by Copyright 2014 | TRANSFORuM project | www.transforum-project.eu Suggested citation: Gudmundsson, H.; Schippl, J.; Leiren, M.; Brand, R.; Sørensen, C.

The comments we receive at the conference on 8 December 2014 will still be considered in the condensed version of the TRANSFORuM Roadmaps and for the Strategic Outlook document. We will also compile the essence of the Brussels discussions on our project website. The conversation about the revision of the White Paper and the best ways to im- plement its goals will also continue on the TRANSFORuM website, where we pro- vide an online forum for all your thoughts, comments, criticisms and suggestions. Keep the discussion alive. www.transforum-project.eu GENERAL INFORMATION The present document is the Roadmap 2.0 on Urban Mobility of the FP7 project TRANSFORuM.

It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada DE-6 (2/88) - i i - Abstract For the past two decades, scholars have been reassessing the ways in which Western writers and intellectuals have traditionally misrepresented the non-white world for their own ideological purposes. Orientalism, Edward Said's ground-breaking study of the ways in which Europeans projected their own social problems onto the nations of the Near East in an attempt to take their minds off the same phenomena as they occurred closer to home, was largely responsible for this shift in emphasis. Fantasy America: The United States as Seen Through French and Italian Eyes is an exploration of a parallel occurrence that could easily be dubbed "Occidentalism." More specifically, it is a study of the ways in which French and Italian writers and filmmakers have sought to situate the New World within an Old World context.

  • The Grapes of Wrath
    Rethinking the Politics of The Grapes of Wrath Charles Cunningham Paradoxically, The Grapes of Wrath is both an exemplary radical analysis of the exploitation of agricultural workers and the culmination in the thirties of an implicitly racist focus on whites as victims. The novel scarcely mentions the Mexican and Filipino migrant workers who dominated the California fields and orchards into the late thirties, instead implying that Anglo-Saxon whites were the only subjects worthy of treatment. This focus also seems to join contemporary journalistic representations in mythologizing the Okies as quintessential American pioneers -- an ideological convention that resonated with the implicit white supremacism of Jeffersonian agrarianism and of manifest destiny.1 Yet, the novel also attacks the very assumptions about private property and class difference on which the social order rests ideologically. Far from being merely racist, it presents one of the most radical critiques of the social order in all of popular -- and canonical -- literature. Thus, its political intervention was -- and is -- contradictory. In fact, The Grapes of Wrath (along the Okie mythology in general) arguably became a site of confrontation between the thirties anti-capitalist consciousness and the American racist tradition -- between manifest destiny and manifest exploitation and dispossession. Copyright © 2002 by Charles Cunningham and Cultural Logic, ISSN 1097-3087 Cunningham 2 Ironically, we can see vestiges of this confrontation in comparing recent criticism of the novel with its reception in 1939. Michael Denning has lately remarked the implicit racism of The Grapes of Wrath in his encyclopedic account of thirties left cultural production, The Cultural Front: The Laboring of American Culture in the Twentieth Century -- a work that has been reshaping the field.

Gehl B.M., St. Olaf College, 1983 M.A., University of Minnesota, 1990 Advisor: bruce d. mcclung, Ph.D. ABSTRACT A successful composer and conductor, Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943) fled Russia at the time of the Bolshevik Revolution never to return. Rachmaninoff, at the age of forty-four, transformed himself by necessity into a concert pianist and toured America for a quarter of a century from 1918 until his death in 1943, becoming one of the greatest pianists of the day. Despite Rachmaninoff‘s immense talents, musicologists have largely dismissed him as a touring virtuoso and conservative, part-time composer. Rather than using mid-twentieth-century paradigms that classify Rachmaninoff as a minor, post-Romantic, figure, a recent revisionist approach would classify Rachmaninoff as an innovator. As one of the first major performer-composers in America to embrace recording and reproducing technology, along with the permanence and repetition it offered, Rachmaninoff successfully utilized mass media for twenty-five years. Already regarded as a conductor and composer of appealing music, Rachmaninoff extended his fame by recording and performing his own works, and those of others.

  • US-Syrian Relations, 1920-1967: the Bitter Harvest of a Flawed Policy
    Athens Journal of History - Volume 6, Issue 3, July 2020 – Pages 175-198 US-Syrian Relations, 1920-1967: The Bitter Harvest of a Flawed Policy By Jacob Abadi This essay explores the course of US-Syrian relations from the end of World War I until the Six Day War of 1967. It argues that despite the early understanding between the two countries the US government never managed to develop a robust foreign policy toward this country and always regarded it as part of greater strategic and ideological concerns, which occupied the minds of the policy makers in Washington at that time such as the competition with the Soviet Union over the Middle East, which loomed large in US defense policy during the Cold War and the struggle against pan-Arabism. In addition, the author attributes this failure to the deference which the US government had toward French interests in the region and to its tendency to regard Syria as a mere participant in the Arab-Israeli conflict and above all, to intervene in Syrian affairs with a deliberate intent to overthrow the regime and install pro-US leaders in Syria. The attempts to interfere in Syria began soon after the country's independence and had a negative effect of the future of the bilateral relations. In addition, the author argues that Syria's leaders tended to rely on Soviet aid and thereby put little efforts in the attempt to convince Washington to adopt a more balanced policy in the Israeli-Syrian conflict. The author shows how the flawed foundations of the bilateral relations culminated in the hostility which brought Syria to sever it relations in the aftermath of the Six Day War of 1967.
