This strand includes topics relating to Man- chester’s radical past. It explores the various boycotts, riots, protests that have taken place in Manchester, while it also looking at the pro- gressive movements such as the suffragettes and the LGBT campaign.

  • Las Unidades Vecinales De Arquitectura Moderna En Chile
    PATRIMONIO FRÁGIL: LAS UNIDADES VECINALES DE ARQUITECTURA MODERNA EN CHILE Rodrigo Gertosio Swanston, Arquitecto. Magíster en Hábitat Residencial Universidad de Chile, Miembro DOCOMOMO Chile. Resumen: En Chile desde el año 2009, existe una explosión de protecciones patrimoniales de barrios residenciales de gran escala utilizando la Ley de Monumentos Nacionales (ley 17.288) en la figura de la Zona Típica, impulsados por los mismos habitantes como reacción ante las presiones externas de grupos económicos y a los vaivenes en los instrumentos de planificación, quienes resignificando el concepto de patrimonio, han logrado proteger sus estilos de vida, su entorno y su arquitectura. En este contexto emergen 6 conjuntos residenciales de Arquitectura Moderna construidas por la antigua Corporación de la Vivienda (CORVI) en conjunto con diversas Cajas de Previsión hasta fines de la década de 1960. Sin embargo, nuestra Ley de Monumentos Nacionales actual no ofrece ni guía ningún tipo de estrategia patrimonial de gestión posterior a la declaratoria que permita una evolución del barrio coherente con los valores patrimoniales redactados inicialmente por las comunidades, por lo que posterior a la declaratoria de Zona Típica, comienzan a evidenciar una serie de efectos que no estaban contemplados por las comunidades al inicio del proceso de patrimonialización ni por la legislación nacional, producto que la actual Ley de Monumentos por sí sola no alcanza a proteger, lo que podría abrir un escenario de incerteza sobre el escenario de protección real de este tipo de conjuntos habitacionales en el tiempo. Para ilustrar este fenómeno se expondrán dos conjuntos habitacionales de tipología Unidad Vecinal ubicados en la comuna de Ñuñoa, Santiago de Chile, gestados por la antigua Corporación de la Vivienda (CORVI), y declarados Zona Típica (ZT) entre 2015 y 2017 por los colectivos vecinales: Villa Frei y Villa Olímpica.

  • From Manufacturing Industries to a Services Economy: the Emergence of a 'New Manchester' in the Nineteen Sixties
    Introductory essay, Making Post-war Manchester: Visions of an Unmade City, May 2016 From Manufacturing Industries to a Services Economy: The Emergence of a ‘New Manchester’ in the Nineteen Sixties Martin Dodge, Department of Geography, University of Manchester Richard Brook, Manchester School of Architecture ‘Manchester is primarily an industrial city; it relies for its prosperity - more perhaps than any other town in the country - on full employment in local industries manufacturing for national and international markets.’ (Rowland Nicholas, 1945, City of Manchester Plan, p.97) ‘Between 1966 and 1972, one in three manual jobs in manufacturing were lost and one quarter of all factories and workshops closed. … Losses in manufacturing employment, however, were accompanied (although not replaced in the same numbers) by a growth in service occupations.’ (Alan Kidd, 2006, Manchester: A History, p.192) Economic Decline, Social Change, Demographic Shifts During the post-war decades Manchester went through the socially painful process of economic restructuring, switching from a labour market based primarily on manufacturing and engineering to one in which services sector employment dominated. While parts of Manchester’s economy were thriving from the late 1950s, having recovered from the deep austerity period after the War, with shipping trade into the docks at Salford buoyant and Trafford Park still a hive of activity, the ineluctable contraction of the cotton industry was a serious threat to the Manchester and regional textile economy. Despite efforts to stem the tide, the textile mills in 1 Manchester and especially in the surrounding satellite towns were closing with knock on effects on associated warehousing and distribution functions.

For more information, please contact [email protected], [email protected]. Abstract There is a dark mythology surrounding the post-punk band Joy Division that tends to foreground the personal history of lead singer Ian Curtis. However, when evaluating the construction of Joy Division’s public image, the contributions of several other important figures must be addressed. This thesis shifts focus onto the peripheral figures who played key roles in the construction and perpetuation of Joy Division’s image. The roles of graphic designer Peter Saville, of television presenter and Factory Records founder Tony Wilson, and of photographers Kevin Cummins and Anton Corbijn will stand as examples in this discussion of cultural intermediaries and collaborators in popular music.

  • Islamic Activities - Rabi Ul Awwal
    Islamic Activities - Rabi ul Awwal Sunnah’s of the Prophet(pbuh) The last week of the term was the start of the Islamic Month Rabi ul Awwal. The month in which many believe the Prophet (sallalahu Alayhi Wasalam) was born and passed away. At MIHSG we try to highlight the importance of each Islamic month and its significance in Islamic history. During this week we put up posters highlighting different Sunnah’s of the Prophet (Saw) as well as the characteristics of the Prophet (Saw). Story of Maryam (AS) and Prophet Isa (AS) Every day before Asr Salah, pupils were presented with the story of Maryam (AS) and Prophet Isa (AS) so pupils could drive Islamic lessons and make comparisons to the Christian narrative they would hear about during this time. This was followed up by a whole school Jummah prayer on the last day of term with Br Jahengir (Imam from Khizra mosque) doing the khutbah on Maryam (AS) and Prophet Isa (AS). The Jummah prayer was beautifully led and benefitted by all. Sunnah Challenge As part of the last day of term activities pupils were presented with a presentation on the life of the Prophet (SAW) and the Sunnahs of the Prophet (Saw). Rabi ul Awwal is a month for Muslims to learn more about the Prophet (Saw)’s life and characteristics as well as completing Sunnah’s of the Prophet. Pupils were given a worksheet to carry out one act of Sunnah every day of the holidays and for parents to sign what they have done; and pupils will be presented with a prize.
