Les textes écrits à l’occasion de cet ouvrage en témoignent. Les enjeux climatiques ont pour leur part modelé l’esthétique de notre ville à différentes époques : dès 1830, le préfet Rambuteau appelait à aérer Paris pour « donner aux Parisiens de l’eau, de l’air et de l’ombre ». Cela ne date donc pas d’hier. L’utilisation des matériaux s’est toujours inscrite dans un souci d’approvisionnement local et de sobriété énergétique. Aujourd’hui, alors que les enjeux climatiques appellent des transformations plus importantes, nous abordons une nouvelle époque de l’histoire de Paris. La volonté de remettre de la nature en ville, la place donnée aux piétons et aux cyclistes, le retour des matériaux écologiques et locaux transforment non seulement notre paysage urbain mais aussi l’imaginaire qui lui est lié.

Sampson Matthew Kaliner Art, Crime, and the Image of the City Abstract This dissertation explores the symbolic structure of the metropolis, probing how neutral spaces may be imbued with meaning to become places, and tracing the processes through which the image of the city can come to be – and carry real consequences. The centrality of the image of the city to a broad array of urban research is established by injecting the question of image into two different research areas: crime and real estate in Washington, DC and the spatial structure of grassroots visual art production in Boston, Massachusetts. By pursuing such widely diverging areas of research, I seek to show the essential linkage between art and crime as they related to the image of the city and general urban processes of definition, distinction, and change.

The Chair of Foreign Languages, Higher State Educational Establishment of Ukraine „Bukovinian State Medical University“, Chernivtsi (Ukraine) TOPONYMIC MEDICAL TERMS BASED ON PRECEDENT SITUATIONS AND DENOTING PSYCHIATRIC DEVIATIONS. In the medical context the precedent situations containing toponyms in their name are well-known geographical names that are used in the text not so much to refer to concrete areas, cities or countries, but rather as a kind of symbol of certain qualities that are used to form medical terms, designating the syndromes of various mental abnormalities. In our unstable and volatile time, the time of local wars, political changes and new opportunities for obtaining all kinds of information and possibility to move from one country to another for both with political goals and for the purpose of travel, the social sphere is an inexhaustible source for the field of psychiatry. Mental disorders affect the lives of many people. At assessment of condition of persons with mental disorders, doctors rely on diagnoses that are generally accepted and are taken into account in the differential diagnostics of the patient. But there are a number of rare psychiatric syndromes that doctors rarely encounter in everyday practice. One of such syndromes is the Paris syndrome. People who study the language and culture of another country often feel an active interest in the population of this country, they pay attention to the external appearance of the native speakers, their habits, norms and manners of behavior, the system of values, and their mentality as a whole. On the other hand, they try to get acquainted with the new cultural environment as close as possible by comparing the phenomena of another country with the phenomena of their native or world culture.

  • Cities and Cinema

    Cities and Cinema

    Cities and Cinema Films about cities abound. They provide fantasies for those who recognize their city and those for whom the city is a faraway dream or nightmare. How does cinema rework city planners’ hopes and city dwellers’ fears of modern urbanism? Can an analysis of city films answer some of the questions posed in urban studies? What kinds of vision for the future and images of the past do city films offer? What are the changes that city films have undergone? Cities and Cinema puts urban theory and cinema studies in dialogue. The book’s first section analyzes three important genres of city films that follow in historical sequence, each associated with a particular city, moving from the city film of the Weimar Republic to the film noir associated with Los Angeles and the image of Paris in the cinema of the French New Wave. The second section discusses socio-historical themes of urban studies, beginning with the relationship of film industries and individual cities, continuing with the portrayal of war-torn and divided cities, and ending with the cinematic expression of utopia and dystopia in urban science fiction. The last section negotiates the question of identity and place in a global world, moving from the portrayal of ghettos and barrios to the city as a setting for gay and lesbian desire, to end with the representation of the global city in transnational cinematic practices. The book suggests that modernity links urbanism and cinema. It accounts for the significant changes that city film has undergone through processes of globalization, during which the city has developed from an icon in national cinema to a privileged site for transnational cinematic practices.

    In Search of Lost Cities: Imagined Geographies and the Allure of the Fake

    Urban Imaginaries Issue 5 – Fall 2015 | www.diffractions.net In Search of Lost Cities: Siobhan Lyons Imagined Geographies Macquarie University - and the Allure of the Fake Australia Abstract | Despite audiences being aware of the way in which popular culture frames and invents history, places and people, these representations inevitably impinge on a viewer’s initial conception of various global landscapes and features, particularly the nature of an urban environment so often depicted through the lens of popular culture. It has been well established that the disparity between one’s expectations and the reality of a city’s layout and feel is stark, and that tourists are often confronted with the reality of a city. These episodes of touristic disillusionment stem from a fairly basic departure from romanticised images that circulate throughout the media and popular culture as ‘reality’, creating phenomena such as the ‘Paris Syndrome’ in which tourists express despair at a city’s realistic environment. In these instances, the imagined city – created by recycled media images and a person’s own psychological mapping – gives way to reality, but does not completely diminish. Instead, tourists often seek alternate destinations that substitute or even imitate real cities, fully aware of the staged authenticity of such sites. This paper interrogates how such images of a city are constructed in the first place, and examines the subsequent response of tourists who continuously seek what Umberto Eco calls the ‘hyperreal’ landscape in place of the real city. Keywords | imagined city, tourism, hyperreal, authenticity, fake, popular culture “New York as a character in a mystery would not be the detective, would not be the murderer.

    A Strange Illness Called “Paris Syndrome” Was Recently Identified in Which Japanese Tourists/Expatriates in Paris Develop A

    E-PAPER Paris Syndrome: Reverse Homesickness? Janima Nam (Academy of Fine Arts Vienna) [email protected] A strange illness called “Paris Syndrome” was recently identified in which Japanese tourists/expatriates in Paris develop a kind of exaggerated form of culture shock, requiring medical/psychological assistance and sometimes winding up repatriated. Apparently, the disillusionment that Japanese tourists experience upon arriving in Paris, stemming from the disappointment of their somewhat romanticized expectations, is enough to require in some cases medical assistance. Although “Paris Syndrome” has been identified by Parisian psychiatrists as a recognizable illness, suffice it to say that it is still holds the status of a “novelty” disorder. There have been an average number of 20 to 100 cases per year (depending on the source) with varying degrees of urgency. Some have been identified as having mildly latent psychological predispositions that somehow become “triggered” by the change of scenery and circumstance provided by traveling. Others have been actually motivated by an existing psychological imbalance prior to making their voyage, either as an answer to a “calling” or an attempt to flee. Characteristic symptoms cover the gamut of disturbed psychotic behavior—schizophrenia, delirium, depression, etc.— but generally, admittance into the center follows any of a variety of “major behavioral problems”. For all intensive purposes, the term “Paris syndrome” until now seems to serve as a catch-all phrase for the all those who end up in the Parisian hospital, Sainte-Anne, that “accommodates” them. In one article, the hospital is described in oddly touristic terms: its location is “central and near many places of interest” (Xaillé) and “France.

Art. Beauty. City. Psychology ABSTRACT The first aim of this paper is to discuss human-art relations basically. In this paper, literature related to Stendhal syndrome as pertaining to art psychology will be reviewed and information on the subject will be compiled. The necessity of doing art is widely defined in society as a form of self-disclosure by an individual. The definition of art according to scientists is art as self-actualization. The other discussed concept in this paper is Stendhal (Florence) syndrome. It’s known as a city syndrome. Stendhal syndrome, also known as Florence syndrome, describes a physical disease that afflicts those who behold works of art in Florence, Italy. The symptoms are dizziness, palpitations, hallucinations, orientation disorder, loss of identity and physical burnout.These clinical features manifest in patients who encounter rich Italian culture and historically important characters.

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] Senza Parole: a Review Abstract This is a charming radio feature of modest length in the form of a travel memoir. Its author-producer is Katharina Smets, a radio maker with a background in philosophy, theatre and philology with experience in teaching radio documentary at the Royal Conservatory in Antwerp, Belgium and as a reporter and feature maker for Radio 1, KLARA (VRT in Belgium) and Holland Doc Radio (VPRO in The Netherlands). Originally produced in Dutch, her English language version of Senza Parole has attracted attention at both the Third Coast International Audio Festival (2014), USA and the Sheffield Doc/Fest (2014) in Britain. In Senza Parole Katharina Smets takes her recorder with her on what appears to be an aimless outing in Paris, a city in which she’s a short term sojourner, courtesy of a cultural residency. By happenstance, in an overlooked corner of a small island in the Seine, she encounters another outsider, an apparently homeless woman, with whom she attempts to communicate. There is an obvious language barrier between them and some other unfathomable difference.
