Fashion and the City
The field of culture is increasingly seen as a strategic asset in/for a balanced development of cities. Recent research, however, seems to point to a limited recognition of this potential in local policy-making, culture becoming increasingly linked to aims of economic repositioning. But which aims are exactly involved here? Are we indeed facing a new dominant (and unilateral) approach to culture in Western European cities, leaving the full development potential of the field unexplored? And why might this be the case? Through case studies of fashion in Antwerp, Milan and Amsterdam, the changing strategising of culture in local development (since the 1980s), is linked to the search for new governing arrangements between public and private (cultural) actors within the cities. On the basis of this analysis, a plea is made for a new, and more integrated approach to culture in Western European cities, pointing to the significant challenge of experimenting with new, and more inclusive forms of public-private policy-making in support of this agenda.
New Microhistorical Approaches to an Integrated History of the Holocaust
In 1997, Saul Friedländer emphasized the need for an integrated history of the Holocaust. His suggestion to connect ‘the policies of the perpetrators, the attitudes of surrounding society, and the world of the victims’ provides the inspiration for this volume. Following in these footsteps, this innovative study approaches Holocaust history through a combination of macro analysis with micro studies. Featuring a range of contemporary research from emerging scholars in the field, this peer-reviewed volume provides detailed engagement with a variety of historical sources, such as documents, artifacts, photos, or text passages. The contributors investigate particular aspects of sound, materiality, space and social perceptions to provide a deeper understanding of the Holocaust, which have often been overlooked or generalised in previous historical research. Yet, as we approach an era of no first hand witnesses, this multidisciplinary, micro-historical approach remains a fundamental aspect of Holocaust research, and can provide a theoretical framework for future studies.
Selected Topics in Nonlinear Dynamics and Theoretical Electrical Engineering
This book contains a collection of recent advanced contributions in the field of nonlinear dynamics and synchronization, including selected applications in the area of theoretical electrical engineering. The present book is divided into twenty-one chapters grouped in five parts. The first part focuses on theoretical issues related to chaos and synchronization and their potential applications in mechanics, transportation, communication and security. The second part handles dynamic systems modelling and simulation with special applications to real physical systems and phenomena. The third part discusses some fundamentals of electromagnetics (EM) and addresses the modelling and simulation in some real physical electromagnetic scenarios. The fourth part mainly addresses stability concerns. Finally, the last part assembles some sample applications in the area of optimization, data mining, pattern recognition and image processing.
Dictionary of African Biography
From the Pharaohs to Fanon, Dictionary of African Biography provides a comprehensive overview of the lives of the men and women who shaped Africa's history. Unprecedented in scale, DAB covers the whole continent from Tunisia to South Africa, from Sierra Leone to Somalia. It also encompasses the full scope of history from Queen Hatsheput of Egypt (1490-1468 BC) and Hannibal, the military commander and strategist of Carthage (243-183 BC), to Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana (1909-1972), Miriam Makeba and Nelson Mandela of South Africa (1918 -).
Beter
Niemand staat te juichen omdat er heel wat onrechtvaardigheid en milieuvervuiling is. Integendeel. En toch lijken we te aanvaarden dat we met de gevolgen ervan moeten leven. Hoe komt het dat er tussen droom en daad zo n afstand zit? Wouter Van Besien zoekt in Beter naar antwoorden. Zijn punt is: om de dingen beter te maken, moet je weten wat er moet gebeuren en moet je daar ook naar handelen. Morele verontwaardiging lucht op, maar volstaat niet. De manier waarop we met geld, economie, politiek omgaan, kan wel het verschil maken. En dus gaat Wouter Van Besien op zoek naar de plekken in onze samenleving waar het status quo regeert. Hij beschrijft hoe we obstructies uit de weg kunnen ruimen, de macht van vastgeroeste systemen kunnen breken en onze samenleving menselijker kunnen maken. Beter is een snedig, enthousiast en goed gedocumenteerd boek waarmee Wouter Van Besien een vuist maakt tegen moraalridders en ondergangsprofeten.
