Papers
New Frontiers in Indigenous Economies: The Example of the United States
This paper proposes to discuss indigenous economies in the context of the United States and will attempt to provide answers to questions as to whether it is legitimate to consider indigenous minorities as different from other deprived minorities. When an Indigenous nation succeeds in creating a functional economic development, are they still considered as being different from the mainstream?Understanding the Discrepancy between Aims and Practice in International Criminal Justice: A Critical Perspective
This paper finds that this discrepancy between aspiration and practice does exist and seeks to understand why it occurs, identifying the influence of geopolitical factors and hegemonic intent. This analysis is undertaken through the creation and application of a methodological framework comprised of an understanding of international criminal justice as defined through a justice progression.Rethinking China’s Revolutionary Identity in Transformation: Memory, Reflection, and Cultural Politics
Taking the memory of a former Red Guard Qian Li who committed revolutionary violence during the CR as a case, this research employs the methods of oral history and discourse analysis to examine the following issues: which traumatic memory Mr. Li has experienced and how he has witnessed the history; how he has expressed his regret and reflection on the collective violence of the Red Guards; what the meanings of the cultural politics have been constructed through the practice of memory and reflection.Metamorphoses in the City and the Place of Collective Memory: What Challenges?
The reflection presented in this summary derives from a sociological and qualitative and ethnographic study (2015-2016) about the impacts of urban rehabilitation on local social recomposition, focusing on Rua das Flores, located in the Historic Center of Porto. The dynamics associated with the sociabilities and daily lives of local social actors are profoundly adapted, under the urban transformations and the emergence of more diverse and international publics, as well as more dispersed.Eternal Rebirth: The Difficult Development of Urban Identity Between Destruction, Reconstruction and New Formal Layouts – The Case of Argenta (Ferrara, Italy)
The purpose of the paper is to draw critical assessments on regeneration and urban development phenomena that have addressed post-war reconstruction in agro-industrial contexts. In this sense, formal and identifying characteristics emerge of a community that boasts settlement continuity dating back millennia. The case study refers to the city of Argenta located in the territory of Ferrara.Reviving Social Connectivity and Tradition in South Korea through Urban Development
Le Corbusier’s proposed standardization of architecture in harmony with the economic and social aspects of urban life thus raises new questions of how the Western modernist city could be integrated with Korean vernacular architecture to encourage interactions between neighbors without the concrete walls that segregate apartments from society at large.The Integrative Power of Non-Representationalism in Urban Spaces: Creative Collaboration and Local Identity among Immigrants and Ethnic Minorities in Brussels
y interest here is in the non-ethnically representational spectacle of cities. In other words, events that, instead of re-presenting a history of a people, culture or place, are born out of the people and culture in place today—a (temporary) contemporary expression of local diversity and local identity. Here, as in Brussels’ Zinneke Parade, the emphasis is on creating and presenting (not re-presenting) the contemporary local.The Influence of the Immigrants in Atlantic, Colombia for the History Art, the Culture and Urban Identities in the XVIII-XX Centuries
This article provides a brief description of the historicity that presents the city of Barranquilla, taking into account the set of situations that cause the historical facts and the predominance of the settlements, customs and vicissitudes with multi - trends that have influenced the conduct of its current inhabitants, as a result of the consistency of the different preferences in all areas of human coexistence.Haven of Peace and Prosperity or Neo-Nazi Nightmare? A Discourse Mythological Analysis of the AKP’s Discourse on the EU
The paper aims to analyse depictions of the EU in the discourse of the Turkish AKP government using the discourse mythological approach, developed by Kelsey (2013, 2014, 2015). This approach combines critical discourse analysis (the discourse historical approach in this case) with political mythology.Challenges of Modern Extraordinary Insolvency Procedure in Europe
Given that the nature of these companies makes them relevant on the verge of their collapse, the author focuses on the legal and economic aftermath of their failures with the case study of the European Union newest member state: Croatia. The analysis was conducted on the basis of insolvency law, with an emphasis on the legal limits of the legislator’s remedies for market imperfections.
