Anthropology & the Suburban Citizen Department of Anthropology, University College London PhD Thesis: University of London Making the Local: Anthropology & the Suburban Citizen David Jeevendrampillai April 2015 1 Declaration I, David Jeevendrampillai confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Word Count 97’267 2 Abstract Through anthropology at the edge, this thesis looks at how social projects form in dialogic relation to the ‘other’ as they meet and contest the meaning, values and forms of the material world. This PhD emerged between two social projects who aimed to make better suburbs. One, the Adaptable Suburbs Project (ASP) aimed to release the “untapped potential” of suburbs through a methodology of architectural analysis that combined different data sources. An online mapping platform aimed to collect oral testimonies from residents to reveal the “meaning, values, symbols” of the built environment. The location of a mountain, destroyed by a giant, was added by a group of local enthusiasts - the “Seething Villagers”. Playing with notions of history, myth and “fact”, Seethingers create events and “stupid” stories to create meaningful communities which “allow people to shine”. The story was refused by the ASP as the historical “fact” compromised the communicative ideal of deliberative democracy that underpinned the mapping project. Both social projects, one making better through academically informed planning policy at a national level, the other through forming “resilient” communities at a local level, met again in a council meeting. Here one social project, - Seethingers, as local citizens - articulated the values and meanings of the built environment through the framework of the other in order to object to planning application. It is here where the effects of the refusal were felt again. Producing efficacious knowledge and articulations about the world takes “work”. This thesis asks what sorts of subjectivities emerge at the edge of social projects, in moments of contestations, and what is lost in this process? Subjectivities emerge, not from the centre of a social project, but from the edge where it is always meeting the other. This thesis examines (and is) the material transfer of knowledge of ‘the other’ and its social, ethical and political implications. 3 For my Mother 4 Contents.

    WSES-FSAR-UNIT-3 2.2 NEARBY INDUSTRIAL TRANSPORTATION AND MILITARY FACILITIES This section presents the results of a survey of the industrial and transportation facilities, and military installations and operations within the vicinity of Waterford 3. The purpose of the survey is to establish which potential accidents from present industrial, transportation and military facilities should be used for evaluating the design of plant safety related features. All facilities within five miles of the Waterford 3 site are included in this survey. Other facilities beyond this radius are included based on the type of activity and the distance and direction from the site. 2.2.1 LOCATIONS AND ROUTES →(EC-5000082218, R301) Figures 2.2-1 and 2.2-2 are site vicinity maps which show all nearby industrial and transportation facilities. →(EC-39014, R307; LBDCR 15-048, R309) Within five miles of Waterford 3 there are 23 industrial facilities which store or process toxic chemicals. These industrial facilities are shown in Figure 2.2-1 and described in Subsection 2.2.2.1.1 and in Table 2.2-3A. ←(EC-5000082218, R301; EC-39014, R307; LBDCR 15-048, R309) There are no military installations near the Waterford 3 site.

Artists who imprint in listeners’ minds, album collections or playlists stand out within certain decades from when they were the most successful. Awards, charts, album sales and performances are some of the accomplishments that help the growth of their careers through the public. With pop and rap being the favored genres, proven in the charts from the last twenty years, what is today’s music genre? Using a few artists as reference along with collecting data, starting from the 1950s and ending with the 2010s, this paper will show the core of what was the most desired genre.
