I would like to thank Teresa Caldeira and the Master’s thesis writing group— Hun Kim, Sergio Montero, and Oscar Sosa—for your help throughout the writing process. I appreciate your insightful comments and steady collegial support. Our meetings have transformed my thesis into a rewarding project. Ananya Roy has offered encouragement at every step in the journey, whether guiding me through the realities of fieldwork or ensuring the logical cohesion of my thesis. Michael Omi has offered invaluable mentorship throughout this process, and I appreciate his contribution in shaping the numerous drafts. Lastly, I would like to thank Genni Low for her transcription assistance, Michael Huang for ensuring that I eat at least three meals a day in my quest to stay hungry and foolish, and perhaps most importantly, the residents of the Lower East Side and Chinatown for sharing their insights with me.

  • Literature of Diminishment: American Regionalism and the Writing of Nature
    Literature of Diminishment: American Regionalism and the Writing of Nature By Juliana Hui-xin Chow A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Dorothy Hale, Chair Professor Anne-Lise François Professor Sophie Volpp Spring 2015 Abstract Literature of Diminishment: American Regionalism and the Writing of Nature by Juliana Hui-xin Chow Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Berkeley Professor Dorothy Hale, Chair Literature of Diminishment redefines regionalism as a philosophical approach that prefers a partial view of oneself and of others, whether human or nonhuman, rather than the comprehensive view pursued by nineteenth-century science. I show how American regionalist writings from the 1820s to 1910s adapt scientific techniques of observation to the aesthetics of the regionalist sketch. Their "sketchy" view of Nature highlights the deficiencies of knowing and nonetheless opens out to a view of biological processes and succession in which life cedes to life through its casualties. Regionalist literature is, then, less a literature of particular cultural or geographical regions as it is a literature whose principles of diminishment might insist on the roughness and limits of a regional setting. The archive of works I draw upon extends from environmental literature—the nature writings of John James Audubon, Henry David Thoreau, and Celia Thaxter—to less conventionally regionalist texts of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries such as works by Emily Dickinson, Herman Melville, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Gertrude Stein.

  • Rock Clubs and Gentrification in New York City: the Case of the Bowery Presents
    Rock Clubs and Gentrification in New York City: The Case of The Bowery Presents Fabian Holt University of Roskilde [email protected] Abstract This article offers a new analytical perspective on the relation between rock clubs and gentrification to illuminate broader changes in urbanism and cultural production in New York City. Although gentrification is central to understanding how the urban condition has changed since the 1960s, the long-term implications for popular music and its evolution within new urban populations and cultural industries have received relatively little scholarly attention. Gentrification has often been dismissed as an outside threat to music scenes. This article, in contrast, argues that gentrification needs to be understood as a broader social, economic, and cultural process in which popular music cultures have changed. The argument is developed through a case study of The Bowery Presents, a now dominant concert promoter and venue operator with offices on the Lower East Side. Based on fieldwork conducted over a three-year period and on urban sociological macro-level analysis, this article develops an analytical narrative to account for the evolution of the contemporary concert culture in the mid-size venues of The Bowery Presents on the Lower East Side and Williamsburg, Brooklyn, as a particular instance of more general dynamics of culture and commerce in contemporary cities. The narrative opens up new perspectives for theorizing live music and popular culture within processes of urban social change. The article begins by reviewing conventional approaches to rock music clubs in popular music studies and urban sociology. These approaches are further clarified through the mapping of a deep structure in how music scenes have framed the relationship between clubs and gentrification discursively.

  • Analyzing the Impact of Redevelopment on Urban Communities: Developing Strategies for Successful Inclusive Integration
    ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF REDEVELOPMENT ON URBAN COMMUNITIES: DEVELOPING STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESSFUL INCLUSIVE INTEGRATION Master’s Thesis Connor Reisenbigler Aalto University School of Engineering Real Estate Economics Spring 2020 Aalto University, P.O. BOX 11000, 00076 AALTO www.aalto.fi Abstract of master's thesis Author Connor Reisenbigler Title of thesis Analyzing the Impact of Redevelopment on Urban Communities: Developing Strategies for Successful Inclusive Integration Master programme Real Estate Economics Code ENG24 Thesis supervisor Kirsikka Riekkinen Thesis advisor(s) Kirsikka Riekkinen Date 30.06.2020 Number of pages 82 Language English Abstract: Increasing demand for space in cities driven by factors of migration and economics are placing undue pressure on housing creation. The effect has been a great deterioration to affordable housing in cities worldwide. Redevelopment has thus arisen as a response to decreased land availability, as cities seek to find space for development where possible. The issue is these developments often require great financial investment, and result in gentrification and displacement of existing residents upon completion. The purpose of this study is thus to understand the reasons for redevelopment, its potential for displacement of moderate / low income communities, and strategies which have been successful in retaining the presence of low income residents even with transformative redevelopment. The research is carried out as a mostly quantitative case study, as the influence of redevelopment on pricing and demographic change in New York is analyzed. The research is thus largely a study of sales in areas affected by redevelopment and how they have changed in respect to the control group. Additionally, with inclusive housing acting as the primary tool for affordable housing creation in new developments, the practice is studied and analyzed in great detail as a method of inclusivity.

He preferred to read comics and mystery books on the morning ride to Trace Middle. But on this day, a Monday (Roy would never forget), Dana Matherson grabbed Roy’s head from behind and pressed his thumbs into Roy’s temple, as if he were squeezing a soccer ball. The older kids were supposed to stay in the back of the bus, but Dana had snuck up be- hind Roy’s seat and ambushed him. When Roy tried to wriggle free, Dana mushed his face against the window. It was then, squinting through the smudged glass, that Roy spotted the strange boy running along the sidewalk. It appeared as if he was hurrying to catch the school bus, which had stopped at a corner to pick up more kids. The boy was straw-blond and wiry, and his skin was nut-brown from the sun. The expression on his face was intent and serious. He wore a faded Miami Heat basket- ball jersey and dirty khaki shorts, and here was the odd part: no shoes.
