This study aims at evaluating the legacies of this Olympic edition, with particular regard to the new public open spaces created and their sustainability.

  • The Olympic Games and Civil Liberties
    Analysis A “clean city”: the Olympic Games and civil liberties Chris Jones Introduction In 2005, the UK won the right to host the 2012 Olympic Games. Seven years later, the Games are due to begin, but they are not without controversy. Sponsors of the Games – including McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Cadbury’s, BP and, perhaps most controversially, Dow Chemical [1] – were promised “what is chillingly called a ‘clean city’, handing them ownership of everything within camera distance of the games.” [2] In combination with measures put in place to deal with what have been described as the “four key risks” of terrorism, protest, organised crime and natural disasters, [3] these measures have led to a number of detrimental impacts upon civil liberties, dealt with here under the headings of freedom of expression; freedom of movement; freedom of assembly; and the right to protest. The Games will be hosted in locations across the country, but primarily in London, which is main the focus of this analysis. Laying the groundwork Following victory for the bid to host the Games, legislation – the London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Act 2006 – was passed “to make provision in connection with the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games that are take place in London in the year 2012.” [4] It is from here that limitations on freedom of expression have come, as well as some of the limitations on freedom of movement that stem from the introduction of “Games Lanes” to London’s road system. Policing and security remains the responsibility of the national and local authorities.

Sports Ancient and Modern This display celebrates the Olympics and includes artefacts borrowed from UCL’s Institute of Archaeology which itself is celebrating its 75th Anniversary this year. The pottery and figures are all from the Ancient World and were created in a time when unity and physical prowess were held in high regard. Also on display is paraphernalia from the Olympic Congress held in Paris in 1914, at which the symbol of five interlocking rings was adopted for the Olympic flag. Team photographs and trophies reflecting the athletic achievements of UCL’s students feature too from the 19th Century to the present day, but particularly from the time of the British Olympic Games held in 1908 and 1948.

    Y.E.A.H. - Young Europeans Active and Healthy OLYMPIC GAMES LONDON July 29 - August 14, 1948 The Austerity Games The 1948 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XIV Olym- piad, were held in London , United Kingdom . After a twelve-year hiatus caused by the out- break of World War II ; these were the first Summer Olympics held since Berlin 1936. The 1940 Olympic Games had been scheduled for Tokyo , and then for Helsinki ; the 1944 Ol- ympic Games had been provisionally planned for London. The event came to be known as the Austerity Games, because of the difficult eco- nomic climate and rationing imposed in the aftermath of World War II . No new venues were built for the games and athletes were housed in existing accommodation at the Wembley area instead of an Olympic Village , as were the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games and the subsequent 1952 Games . A record 59 nations were represented by 4,104 athletes, 3,714 men and 390 women, in 19 sport disciplines . Germany and Japan were not invited to participate in the games, however, the Soviet Union was invited but chose not to send any athletes. Great Britain almost handed the 1948 games to the United States due to post-war financial and rationing prob- lems, but King George VI said that this could be the chance to restore Britain from World War II . The official report of the London Olympics shows that there was no case of London being pressed to run the Games against its will. In March 1946 London was selected ahead of Baltimore , Minneapolis , Lausanne , Los Angeles , and Philadel- phia .

    Susanna Suomela Remembering genius Londinii: London writers and the spirit of the city Department of Philosophy, History, Culture and Art Studies University of Helsinki Academic dissertation to be publicly discussed, by due permission of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Helsinki in lecture room 1 of Metsätalo, Unioninkatu 40, on the 25th of May, 2018 at 12 o’clock. Copyright © Susanna Suomela 2018 ISBN 978-951-51-4227-6 (paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-4228-3 (PDF) Cover: Photograph by courtesy of myfreetextures.com Image editing and cover design: Susanna Suomela http://ethesis.helsinki.fi Helsinki, 2018 Unigrafia The question remains: How can place, plain old place, be so powerful in matters of memory? In what does the power of place for memory consist? We have seen Aristotle driven to speak of a place's "active influence", its "distinct potencies". Similarly, the Romans posited a "genius loci", an indwelling spirit, for each significant place [- -]. In English, we still speak of "the spirit of a place", and ascribe to particular places attractive or re- pelling forces far beyond what their position in geo- graphic space or historic time might indicate. —Edward Casey: Remembering One of these days I will write about London, & how it takes up the private life & carries on, without any ef- fort. —Virginia Woolf: Diary, 5 May 1924 The city is time made visible. —Yi-Fu Tuan: Space, Time, Place: A Humanistic Frame Abstract Abstract The subject of my doctoral dissertation Remembering genius Londinii: Lon- don novelists and the spirit of the city is the role of memory in the recogni- tion of genius loci, as presented in the novels of four London authors: in Peter Ackroyd’s The House of Doctor Dee (1993), Dan Leno and the Lime- house Golem (1994), and Three Brothers (2013), in Maureen Duffy’s Capital (1975), in Michael Moorcock’s Mother London (1988), and in Zadie Smith’s White Teeth (2000).

During the 2011 Riots Daily Mail reading British tourists in Turkey learned in amazement how members of this Muslim population played the part of vigilante defenders of British retail, while the Turkish media noted that against the looters London Turks stood together with London Kurds.
