Geopolitica, Identidade E
Utilizando os instrumentos que a nova geografia política oferece, Joan Nogué Font, catedrático em Geografia Humana da Universidade de Girona (Espanha), e Joan Vicente Rufí, professor titular de Geografia Humana da mesma universidade, analisam temasessenciais da geografia contemporânea, como o papel do Estado-Nação tradicional ante o crescente protagonismo das entidades supraestatais e subestatais, a dimensão territorial da nova economia e das novas tecnologias, a aparição de novos territórios e novos agentes sociais e políticos e, como não poderia deixar de ser, a questão ambiental. Se dedicam, em suma, ao estudo do fenômeno da globalização, do processo de formação das diversas identidades coletivas e da complexa trama que os relaciona. ́Geopolítica, identidade e globalização ́ é uma obra escrita e estruturada para estudantes de qualquer área das ciências sociais (geografia, relações internacionais, sociologia, economia, ciências políticas, história, antropologia, entre outras) e também para leitores que estejam interessados em compreender a transformação do mundo ao seu redor.
Dwelling, Seeing, and Designing
Contributors include architects, philosophers, landscape architects, and geographers, who focus on the question of how people might see and understand the natural and built environments in a deeper, more perceptive way. What is a sense of place and how can it be supported by architecture, policy, and education? Why are places important to people, and can designers and policy-makers create better places? Is there a way to see and understand what might help to make buildings, landscapes, and places that are beautiful, alive, and humane? What role do the geographical and architectural environments play in human life?
Geography and the Human Spirit
What does it mean to dwell? Every civilization has a story to tell, according to Anne Buttimer, and exploring those stories brings fresh light to modern ideas about the relationship between humanity and its environment. In Geography and the Human Spirit, Buttimer ranges widely from Plato to Barry Lopez, from the Upanishads to Goethe, taking an interdisciplinary look at the ways in which human beings have turned to natural science, theology, and myth to form visions of the earth as a human habitat.
Geography and National Identity
This volume of especially commissioned essays explores the geography of, and the role of geography in, national and proto-national identity. Place and national identity are bound together. Attachment to the one is almost always inseparable from the sense of the other. Yet, as this volume shows, the articulated self-conscious linking of place and identity is by and large a modern phenomenon that took root in nineteenth-century Europe. The formation of supranational states and the much vaunted globalization of culture led many to believe there would be a progressive dilution of national identities and a growing agglomeration of places and nations into larger state units. Precisely the reverse has taken place. This book explores the connections between identity and homeland, showing how a place may be perceived as archetypal, endowed with love and celebrated in music and poetry, yet be a pretext for violence and war. It examines the evolution of ideas about identity and their manifestations in a wide variety of settings, from the former Soviet Union to the island states of the South Pacific.
John Frith, Scholar and Martyr
John Frith was one of the outstanding academics of his time. He had a clear logical mathematical mind, was highly respected and influenced many. Yet, in 1553, at the age of 30, he was burnt at the stake for writing books supporting doctrines of Reformation. This work discusses his life.
