  • Abstract Geographies of Neoliberal Regulation And
    ABSTRACT GEOGRAPHIES OF NEOLIBERAL REGULATION AND THE EVERYDAY URBAN EXPERIENCE: A CASE STUDY OF OVER-THE-RHINE, CINCINNATI Jean-Paul David Addie This thesis analyses the impacts of neoliberal urbanism through conducting a qualitative case study of the inner-city neighbourhood of Over-the-Rhine, Cincinnati. Drawing upon the geographic concept of 'actually existing' neoliberalism, combined with in-depth interviews with neighbourhood organisations, community advocacy groups and residents in Over-the-Rhine, I explore the complex, often contradictory and dialectical relationships between neoliberal regulatory-institutional restructuring, the production of urban space, and the practices of everyday life. Played out against a background of racial tension and civil unrest, the creation of a new, neoliberal institutional landscape in Over-the-Rhine politically and economically disenfranchises the most marginalised neighbourhood inhabitants through re-articulating urban and political space, and re-imagining the ideological form and function of the inner city and the urban poor. I assert the significance of place-based studies to explore the place-specific articulations of neoliberal urbanism and in doing so, present directions for future research. GEOGRAPHIES OF NEOLIBERAL REGULATION AND THE EVERYDAY URBAN EXPERIENCE: A CASE STUDY OF OVER-THE-RHINE, CINCINNATI A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Miami University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Geography by Jean-Paul David Addie Miami University

Budig Academy. It was a stunning visual depiction of the past, present and future of Cincinnati Ballet in one singular moment. Along with many reasons to celebrate, we, like so many others, have responded to our economic challenges by reducing expenses in every area of operations which required us to make some very difficult decisions. We hope some of the cuts are temporary, while others represent great detective work and will be maintained for years. The entire organization has rallied to assure the Cincinnati Ballet Company’s survival. The dancers, wardrobe department, and musicians signed their union contracts agreeing to return to 2007 – 08 wages. We decreased our dancer roster, left open some departing staff positions and replaced others with lower-paid personnel.

Instead of that convertible Corvette or the affair with the gorgeous pool boy or Blazer cheerleader, how about indulging in a revival of that writing career dream? Who cares if the kids (or grandkids) think it’s a question- able obsession? You know and I know that there’s never going to be a better time than now to go for your dreams. We have actual proof that one can break into a professional writing career at any time. We had a young Willamette Writer make a two-book deal at our conference a few years back. Norman McClean sold his first book after retiring from teaching at the age of 72. His book was called A River Runs Through It. My point is, now is the time to go for it. And we are here to help. We can get you that face-time with an agent or editor, get you prepped for success with workshops for every type of writing, buoy you up during the inevitable (and temporary) rejections that are part of the writing life, and help you celebrate your victories. This year our theme is abundance, financial success. Willamette Writers have made millions of dollars writing. It can happen to you.
