Dining out as a performative event
2020
Public events are scripted, staged and choreographed. Dining out is a perception-affect experience, but it is rare that the experience becomes a performative event in which guests are actors in the scene. The Madeleine’s Food Theatre in Copenhagen created a performative dining-out experience where guests did not have knowledge of the script, stage or choreography beforehand. When people became part of making a space into an event, they entered into unimaginable atmospheres and moods. The article explores the dining experience at Madeleine’s Food Theatre as a collage of body-mind impressions affected by different kinds of forces of presence. Paid open access
Mapping the Distortions in Time and Space: The French Railway Network 1830–1930
2013
International audience; Accessibility is frequently used in transportation planning to measure the efficiency of new infrastructure in terms of travel time and population served. In this article, the authors apply accessibility concepts based on the geo-historical angle. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between population dynamics and the railway expansion from 1830 to 1930. Their approach considers a local scale composed of some 36,000 French communes for the demographic data and more than 28,000 kilometers for the railway network. The methodological framework of this database is based on historical geographic information systems completed by anamorphosis analysis.…
The great fire of medieval Valencia (1447)
2015
ABSTRACT:In March 1447, a great fire broke out in Valencia, caused by a former member of the municipal government. This fire destroyed many houses and craft workshops around the Market Square, the economic centre of the city. The municipal government had to compensate the citizens, who had lost everything, and restore everyday life in the area. A versatile Italian watchmaker living in Valencia was chosen to supervise the rehabilitation of the area. Under his direction, the debris was removed. Then after a conscious campaign of urban planning aimed at eliminating any traces of the old Islamic city, the streets were reconstructed according to the norms of the western city.
Entités fonctionnelles, entités spatiales et dynamique urbaine dans la longue durée
2004
Functional Features, spatial Features and the urban Dynamic across a long Lapse of Time. Heterogeneous data from different sources are to be formalised as functional and spatial features in order to study the spatial evolution of preindustrial cities in the « longue durée ». The aim is to establish a distinction between historically relevant functional features and geographically relevant spatial features in order to produce information better adjusted to study spatial dynamics. The elements of a methodology are brought up.
Introduction: A New Look at the Origins of Economic Growth and Regional Inequality
2018
The contributions to this special issue share important themes and methodologies in their quest to explicate economic development and its effects. Nonetheless, each area under examination has its own peculiarities and warrants its own scope of analysis. The result is a special issue that pursues an innovative line of research, exploring parallels and contrasts in economic growth and inequality based on new data at the regional, rather than simply the national, level. The authors are grateful to the following institutions for their financial support of the research in this special issue of The Journal of Interdisciplinary History: (1) European Union (EU— Jean Monnet Action); (2) ICREA—Genera…
Changes of Commuting Range in Riga Agglomeration
2018
Abstract The aim of this paper is to characterise commuting trends in Riga agglomeration, while taking into account proximity to Riga and territorial accessibility. Changes of commuting range are looked at through literature analysis (historical context) and by using descriptive analysis and parametric tests (current situation). Results indicate that while both proximity to Riga and access to state level roads have a significant impact on commuting flows, it is the former which has a more significant impact.
El papel de la Geografía en el análisis del contenido semántico de los topónimos. El caso de Alicante
2018
La relación entre Geografía y Toponimia es incuestionable, ya que los topónimos designan lugares de la superficie terrestre, y la Geografía es la ciencia que estudia los fenómenos que suceden sobre dichos lugares. Además, los nombres de lugar son una herramienta de primer orden para la reconstitución de un paisaje geográfico desaparecido. La Geografía, la Historia y la Lingüística son las tres principales disciplinas auxiliares de la ciencia toponímica. Se lleva a cabo un análisis toponímico de un caso paradigmático al respecto: Alacant/Alicante. Por un lado repasamos su larga y convulsa historia antigua, que implicó el abandono del poblado romano y su traslado -junto con su topónimo- al so…

La toponimia como recurso didáctico para la enseñanza de la Geografía. Una propuesta a partir de tres salidas de campo en la Huerta de València (Espa…
2021
El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una propuesta didáctica para el profesorado de Educación Primaria sobre el uso de la toponimia a partir de 3 salidas de campo en la Huerta de València (España). Ante la falta de trabajos sobre educación, toponimia y geografía en el área de estudio, este trabajo aportará significativamente al conocimiento sobre la didáctica de la geografía con el uso de salidas de campo en relación con la toponimia, pero también servirá de paradigma para la comunidad docente, ya que podrá aplicarlo a su territorio de referencia. This research makes a didactic proposal to Primary School teachers regarding the use of toponymy, based upon three field trips to Huerta de V…
Home as a Base for a Well-Lived Life: Comparing the Capabilities of Homeless Service Users in Housing First and the Staircase of Transition in Europe
2020
Nussbaum’s Central Capabilities refer to the elements of a well-lived life, and many adults who experience homelessness are deprived of these capabilities. The study aim was to investigate whether service users experience different homeless services as affording or constraining capabilities. We conducted semi-structured interviews with homeless service users (n = 77) in Housing First (HF) and staircase services (SS) in eight European countries. We used thematic analysis to identify three themes: autonomy and dependency, the relational impact of living arrangements, and community interaction and stigma. While SS participants were able to address their bodily integrity and health, their highe…
