Territorialising Space in Latin America
The vision of this book is to bring together examples of grounded geographic research carried out in Latin America regarding territorial processes. These encompass a range of histories, processes, strategies and mechanisms, with case studies from ten countries and many regions: struggles to reclaim indigenous lands, conflicts over land/resource/environmental services, competing land claims, urban territorial identities, state power strategies, commercial involvements and others. The case studies included in the book represent a wide diversity of theoretical and methodological framings currently deployed in Latin America to help interpret the patterns and processes through the conceptual lenses of territory, territoriality and territorialization. Interrogating the meanings of territory introduces multiple spatial, socio-cultural and political concepts including space, place and landscape, power, control and governance, and identity and gender.
The Routledge Handbook to the Political Economy and Governance of the Americas
This handbook explores the political economy and governance of the Americas, placing particular emphasis on collective and intertwined experiences. Forty-six chapters cover a range of Inter-American key concepts and dynamics. The flow of peoples, goods, resources, knowledge and finances have on the one hand promoted interdependence and integration that cut across borders and link the countries of North and South America (including the Caribbean) together. On the other hand, they have contributed to profound asymmetries between different places. The nature of this transversally related and multiply interconnected hemispheric region can only be captured through a transnational, multidisciplina...
Routledge Handbook of Latin America and the Environment
The Routledge Handbook of Latin America and the Environment provides an in-depth and accessible analysis and theorization of environmental issues in the region. It will help readers make connections between Latin American and other regions’ perspectives, experiences, and environmental concerns. Latin America has seen an acceleration of environmental degradation due to the expansion of resource extraction and urban areas. This Handbook addresses Latin America not only as an object of study, but also as a region with a long and profound history of critical thinking on these themes. Furthermore, the Handbook departs from most treatments on the topic by studying the environment as a social iss...
Paris (re)konstruieren
Ausgehend von Henri Lefebvre und Paul Ricoeur entwickelt Julia Kröger eine Raumtheorie, die eine Neubewertung der (Re)Konstruktionen von Paris im Naturalismus Émile Zolas erlaubt. Um den Prozess von der Dokumentation hin zur literarischen Fiktion in seinen unterschiedlichen Stufen nachvollziehen zu können, untersucht sie neben ausgewählten Romanen auch die Arbeitsbücher des Schriftstellers und Journalisten. Dabei wird deutlich, inwiefern in Zolas Darstellungen des Stadtraums schon zahlreiche Aspekte jener urbanen Moderne vorweggenommen wurden, die bisher vor allem Texten und Theorien des 20. Jahrhunderts zugeschrieben werden.
The Wealth of Communities
The early-sixteenth century was a turbulent time for the Italian peninsula as competing centres of power struggled for political control. Nowhere was this more true than the area contested by Milan and Venice, an area constantly crossed and occupied by rival armies. Investigating the impact of successive crises upon the inhabitants of the Po Valley, this book challenges many fundamental assumptions about the relationship between war and economic development and draws conclusion that have implications for early-modern Europe as a whole.
