Defamiliarizing Blackness and Whiteness in Gloria Naylor’s "Linden Hills"

2018

Gloria Naylor defamiliarizes in Linden Hills (1985) both white and non-white racial categories, in this case blackness and whiteness, both of which emerge as largely performable identities. The defamiliarization of blackness is fairly direct, unfolding mostly through the predominantly negative portrayal of Linden Hills residents and the male line of the Nedeed dynasty, especially Luther Nedeed IV. The defamiliarization of whiteness is mostly indirect, taking place primarily through the exposure of Linden Hills residents’ imitation of whiteness, in particular, the pursuit of what is presented as the negative paradigm of the white materialistic success and the disastrous consequences that ste…

SEAty_ living beyond the waterfront dynamics outcomes and risk of a new trend

2011

The growing number of projcts for floating structures or artificial islands in response to the problems of urhan congestion or environmental emergency requires a critical reflection on the prospectives and the risks implied in this new trend of urban water colonization. This paper intends to test the hypothesis thaht the value of a new and emerging issue of Architecrure can be recognized to this trend and, trhrough a comparison with a series of experiences, wants to bring to the attention of the debate a number of questions which, for exigency of synthesis, analyze in particular the morpholinguistic issues re1ated to the diffusion of this new architecture theme.

The MIMOSE Approach to Support Sustainable Forest Management Planning at Regional Scale in Mediterranean Contexts

2017

In recent decades, Mediterranean landscapes have been affected by human-induced drivers, such as land use and climate change. Forest ecosystems and landscapes have been particularly affected in mountainous regions due to limited management and stewardship, especially in remote areas. Therefore, there is a need to set up new strategies to enhance ecosystem services in forested areas which, in turn, will benefit local communities and economies. In this study, we implemented a new approach—Multiscale Mapping of Ecosystem Services (MIMOSE)—to assess ecosystem services in Mediterranean forests located in a mountainous region of Italy. We spatially assessed timber provision and carbon sequestrati…

Ēnu ekonomika, tās novērtēšanas metodes un novērtējums Baltijas valstīs

2019

Darba tēma ir ”Ēnu ekonomika, tās novērtēšanas metodes un novērtējums Baltijas valstīs”. Šī tēma tika izvēlēta, jo ēnu ekonomika ir būtisks ekonomiku ietekmējošs faktors, kas nav pilnīgi definēts un pētīts. Tās pētīšanā nozīmīgi ir izmantojamie dati, kā arī faktoru kopums, kas ietekmē ēnu ekonomikas apjomu. Baltijas valstu ietvars tika izvēlēts, jo šīs kaimiņvalstis ir savstarpēji konkurējošas Pasaules tirgū un ir līdzīgas vēsturiskās gaitas ietekmētas. Darba mērķis ir, izpētot ēnu ekonomikas teorētiskos aspektus, izveidot MIMIC modeli ēnu ekonomikas izteikšanai Baltijas valstīs. Darbs sastāv no četrām daļām, kurās apskatīta ēnu ekonomikas definīcija, tās cēloņi un sekas, ēnu ekonomikas nov…
