Описание: One of the fundamental properties of human language is movement, where a constituent moves from one position in a sentence to another position. This book investigates how different movement operations interact with one another, focusing on the special case of smuggling, in which displacement occurs in two steps thus allowing for otherwise inaccessible movement operations.
Автор: Saffron Inga Название: Becoming Philadelphia: How an Old American City Made Itself New Again ISBN: 1978800630 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781978800632 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 64330.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Over the last 20 years, as Philadelphia emerged from a half century of decline, Inga Saffron has been the premier chronicler of the city's physical transformation. Through her Pulitzer Prize-winning columns on architecture and urbanism in the Philadelphia Inquirer, she has tracked the city's revival on an almost week-by-week basis. Once dismissed as an industrial has-been - the "Next Detroit" - Philadelphia has enjoyed an astonishing come-back in first decades of the 21st Century. Yet, like other resurgent cities, it now finds itself grappling with the problems of success: gentrification, poverty, density debates, the unequal distribution of public services and the lure of privatization.
A fearless crusader who is also a seasoned reporter, Saffron ranges beyond the usual boundaries of architectural criticism to explore how politics and money intersect with design and profoundly shape our everyday experience of city life. She is the watchdog of Philadelphia's built environment, a champion of its architectural heritage, an advocate for using design to foster democracy and equity. A born explainer, she makes architecture accessible and entertaining; she even manages to extract meaning from the most technical zoning debates. That combination of qualities helped win her the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 2014 and the Vincent Scully Prize from the National Building Museum in 2018.
This volume culls the best of Saffron's work from the last 20 years. What emerges in these 80 pieces is a remarkable narrative of a remarkable time. The proverbial first draft of history, these columns tell the story of what a great city looked like as it shape-shifted before our very eyes.

Large numbers of Latino migrants began to arrive in Grand Rapids, Michigan, in the 1950s. They joined a small but established Spanish-speaking community of people from Texas, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Delia Fernández-Jones merges storytelling with historical analysis to recapture the placemaking practices that these Mexicans, Tejanos, and Puerto Ricans used to create a new home for themselves. Faced with entrenched white racism and hostility, Latinos of different backgrounds formed powerful relationships to better secure material needs like houses and jobs and to recreate community cultural practices. Their pan-Latino solidarity crossed ethnic and racial boundaries and shaped activist efforts that emphasized working within the system to advocate for social change. In time, this interethnic Latino alliance exploited cracks in both overt and structural racism and attracted white and Black partners to fight for equality in social welfare programs, policing, and education.
Groundbreaking and revelatory, Making the MexiRican City details how disparate Latino communities came together to respond to social, racial, and economic challenges.

Описание: Latina/o/x places exist as both tangible physical phenomena and gatherings created and maintained by creative cultural practices. In this collection, an interdisciplinary group of contributors critically examines the many ways that varied Latina/o/x communities cohere through cultural expression. Authors consider how our embodied experiences of place, together with our histories and knowledge, inform our imagination and reimagination of our surroundings in acts of placemaking. This placemaking often considers environmental sustainability as it helps to sustain communities in the face of xenophobia and racism through cultural expression ranging from festivals to zines to sanctuary movements. It emerges not only in specific locations but as movement within and between sites; not only as part of a built environment, but also as an aesthetic practice; and not only because of efforts by cultural, political, and institutional leaders, but through mass media and countless human interactions.
A rare and crucial perspective on Latina/o/x people in the Midwest, Building Sustainable Worlds reveals how expressive culture contributes to, and sustains, a sense of place in an uncertain era.
