Place, Identity and Community Conflict in Mixed-Use Neighbourhoods: the Case of Kings Cross, Sydney Place, identity and community conflict in mixed-use neighbourhoods: The case of Kings Cross, Sydney Ryan van den Nouwelant A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Built Environment in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2017 THE UNIVERSITYOF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: van den Nouwelant Firstname: Ryan Other name/s: Mark Abbreviation fordegree as given in the University calendar: PhD School: not applicable Faculty: Built Environment Title: Place, identity and community conflict in mixed-use neighbourhoods: the case of Kings Cross, Sydney Abstract This thesis examines the role of urban planning processes in managing community conflict. Mitigating community conflict is one of the central arguments for robust planning systems,so shortcomings need to be identified and understood. Usingthe case study of Kings Cross, Sydney, the research demonstrates how the planning concept of 'the mixed-use neighbourhood', and in particular its inherent contradictions, permeate into the construction of the identity of this particularneighbourhood. Through media analysis and a series of stakeholder interviews, these contradictions are shown to prevail beyond planning discourses, and that they are central to community conflicts in the case study. By framing community conflict as the contestation of the neighbourhood's identity, it is revealed that these conflicts do not always lie between social and economic objectives of planning policy (and so residents and businesses) as is assumed by many stakeholders. Instead, it is argued to lie between the underlying spatial dimensions to the constructed identity: whether the 'self-contained neighbourhood' or the 'well connected neighbourhood'. The thesis concludes that the influence of ambiguous concepts on community conflict stems from fact that pursuing consensus in participatory planning practices comes at the expense of clarity. Importantly, when subsequent planning decisions fail to meet stakeholders' expectations, community support for planning and urban governance structures are weakened.

  • A Sensory Ethnographic Study of Therapeutic Landscape Experiences of People Living with Dementia in the Wider Community
    Out and About: A Sensory Ethnographic Study of Therapeutic Landscape Experiences of People Living with Dementia in the Wider Community By Rahena Qaailah Bibi Mossabir (MA) Faculty of Health and Medicine Lancaster University Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) September 2018 0 0 DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is all my original work and I am the sole author. This work has not previously been published or presented for an award. All sources are acknowledged as References. It has been jointly funded by the Economics and Social Research Council and Age UK Lancaster. 1 ABSTRACT Whilst ageing in place is considered important for a healthier and a better quality of life for older people, there is yet a dearth of evidence on how older people with dementia negotiate and experience the wider community. The aim of the present study is therefore to explore experiences of social and spatial engagement in the wider community for people living with dementia in order to advance understandings of how their interactions in and with community settings impact on their health and wellbeing. Drawing on the theoretical framework of therapeutic landscapes and a sensory ethnographic methodology, I provide social, embodied and symbolic accounts of people’s everyday experiences and pursuits of health and wellbeing within their neighbourhood and beyond. An in-depth examination of socio-spatial interactions of nine people with dementia, seven of whom participated with family carers, is conducted by use of innovative interview methods (including photo-elicitation and walking interviews), participant observations and participant ‘diaries’ (kept for a period of four weeks).

  • Library Songs: Eine Compilation
    __________________________________________________///LIBREAS. Library Ideas #13 | www.libreas.eu/ LIBRARY SONGS - EINE COMPILATION von Marc-Oliver Borgstedt „Libraries gave us power“ sangen die Manic Street Preachers in „A Design For Life” 1996, Britney Spears hüpfte zu Beginn ihrer Karriere gehüllt in hautenge Cardigans und mit überdimensionaler Brille auf der Nase durch die halbe Welt und im Video zu ihrem Hit „Everytime We Touch“ wirbelt die deutsche Dance-Formation Cascada viel Staub aus den alten Schinken einer imaginären Bibliothek. Dass Bibliotheken eine wichtige Projektionsfläche für die Pop-Kultur abgeben, steht außer Frage. Doch sind Bilder vom Streber, den erst wilde Eurodance-Beats hinter der Ausleihtheke hervorholen und ihn als indifferentes Sexobjekt vergewaltigen, nicht vereinbar mit dem neuen bibliothekarischen Selbst, das sich befreien möchte von der oberflächlichen Symbolik der Masse. Popkultur wohnt immer eine normative Kraft inne, wenn sie vorgibt, was sein soll. Mädchen in kur- zen Röcken und String-Tangas, die sich gerne mit ihrer besten Freundin zum Joggen verabreden, Jungs, die Anabolika getränkt und glatt rasiert in Proletensprache über die Nation reden, das ist die dialektische Ausgangslage, in der auch die Bibliothek ihre Rolle hat. Die Bibliothek 2.0 baut auf Com- puterspiele und egalitäre, deutsche Klänge, um sich beim Mainstream anzubiedern. Es ist der Ver- such, reformorientiert zu agieren, dabei das Bestehende zu bewahren, das letztlich nur aus einer längst erodierenden Mittelschicht besteht. Hier geht es jedoch nicht mehr um das emanzipative Po- tential der Bibliothek– Wir sind Helden sind genauso oberlehrerhaft bieder wie die Thekenbibliothek –, sondern um die Abschaffung einer Institution, die die Kids retten könnte. Wie schaut aber ein popkultureller Entwurf aus, der Bibliotheken und ihre Benutzer progressiv ver- bindet? Der in der New York Times beschriebene Stil der „Hipper Crowd of Shushers“ setzt bewusst auf akkurate Spießerrobe und geordnete Stylings aus längst vergessenen Zeiten.

  • Remediating the Eighties: Nostalgia and Retro in British Screen Fiction from 2005 to 2011
    REMEDIATING THE EIGHTIES: NOSTALGIA AND RETRO IN BRITISH SCREEN FICTION FROM 2005 TO 2011 Thesis submitted by Caitlin Shaw In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of Doctor of Philosophy De Montfort University, March 2015 2 3 ABSTRACT This doctoral thesis studies a cycle of British film and television fictions produced in the years 2005-2011 and set retrospectively in the 1980s. In its identification and in-depth textual and contextual analysis of what it terms the ‘Eighties Cycle’, it offers a significant contribution to British film and television scholarship. It examines eighties- set productions as members of a sub-genre of British recent-past period dramas begging unique consideration outside of comparisons to British ‘heritage’ dramas, to contemporary social dramas or to actual history. It shows that incentives for depicting the eighties are wide-ranging; consequently, it situates productions within their cultural and industrial contexts, exploring how these dictate which eighties codes are cited and how they are textually used. The Introduction delineates the Eighties Cycle, establishes the project’s academic and historical basis and outlines its approach. Chapter 1 situates the work within the academic fields that inform it, briefly surveying histories and socio-cultural studies before examining and assessing existing scholarship on Eighties Cycle productions alongside critical literature on 1980s, 90s and contemporary British film and television; nostalgia and retro; modern media, history and memory; British and American period screen fiction; and transmedia storytelling. Chapter 2 considers how a selection of productions employing ‘the eighties’ as a visual and audio style invoke and assign meaning to commonly recognised aesthetic codes according to their targeted audiences and/or intended messages.

  • "We're from the Favela but We're Not Favelados" the Intersection of Race, Space, and Violence in Northeastern Brazil
    PhD thesis submission: abstract and declaration of word length This form should be submitted to the Research Degrees Unit with your thesis Name of candidate: Christopher M. Johnson Title of thesis:"We're from the favela but we're not favelados: Race, space and violence in northeastern Brazil Abstract The title-page should be followed by an abstract consisting of no more than 300 words. A copy of the abstract should be given below. This is required for publication in the ASLIB Index of Theses. In Salvador da Bahia's high crime/violence peripheral neighbourhoods, black youth are perceived as criminals levying high social costs as they attempt to acquire employment, enter university, or political processes. Low-income youth must overcome the reality of violence while simultaneously confronting the support, privileged urban classes have for stricter law enforcement and the clandestine acts of death squads. As youth from these neighbourhoods begin to develop more complex identities some search for alternative peer groups, social networks and social programmes that will guide them to constructive life choices while others consign themselves to options that are more readily available in their communities. Fast money and the ability to participate in the global economy beyond ‘passive’ engagement draws some youth into crime yet the majority choose other paths. Yet, the majority use their own identities to build constructive and positive lives and avoid involvement with gangs and other violent social groups. Drawing from Brazil's racial debates started by Gilberto Freyre, findings from this research suggest that while identity construction around race is ambiguous, specific markers highlight one's identity making it difficult to escape negative associations with criminality and violence.
