Street Fights in Copenhagen Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City

Street Fights in Copenhagen Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City

With 29 percent of all trips made by bicycle Copenhagen is considered a model of green transport. This book considers the underlying political conditions that enabled cycling to appeal to such a wide range of citizens in Copenhagen and asks how this can be replicated elsewhere. Despite Copenhagen’s global reputation its success has been a result of a long political struggle and is far from completely secure. Car use in Denmark is increasing including in Copenhagen's suburbs and new developments in Copenhagen include more parking for cars. There is a political tension in Copenhagen over the spaces for cycling the car and public transit. In considering examples of backlashes and conflicts over street space in Copenhagen this book argues that the kinds of debates happening in Copenhagen are very similar to the debates regularly occurring in cities throughout the world. This makes Copenhagen more not less comparable to many cities around the world including cities in the United States. This book will appeal to upper-level undergraduates and graduates in urban geography city planning transportation environmental studies as well as transportation advocates urban policy-makers and anyone concerned about climate change and looking to identify paths forward in their own cities and localities. | Street Fights in Copenhagen Bicycle and Car Politics in a Green Mobility City

The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

This book investigates the sociohistorical making of place and people in Copenhagen from around 1900 to the present day. Drawing inspiration from Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of social space and symbolic power and from Loïc Wacquant’s hypothesis of advanced marginality and territorial stigmatisation the book explores the genesis and development of the notorious neighbourhood of Copenhagen North West. As an extraordinary place the North West provides an illustrative case of Danish welfare and urban history that questions the epitome on inclusive Copenhagen. Through detailed empirical analysis the book spotlights three angles and entanglements of the social history of this area of Copenhagen: the production of socio-spatial constructions and authoritative categorisations of the neighbourhood especially by the state and the media; the local social pedagogical interventions and symbolic boundary drawings by welfare agencies in the neighbourhood; and the residents’ subjective experiences of place social divisions and (dis)honour. In this way The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis analyses how social symbolical and spatial structures dynamically intertwine and contribute to the fashioning of divisions of inequality and marginality in the city over the course of some 125 years. It will appeal to scholars of sociology urban studies and urban history with interests in social welfare. | The Making of Place and People in the Danish Metropolis A Sociohistory of Copenhagen North West

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

This volume by the late Bernd J. Diebner presents an anthology of studies previously published only in German from 1971 to 2020 on a wide range of topics in biblical studies. The 18 essays in this collection offer profound insight into the works of German scholarship which have strongly influenced biblical studies and related research in the 20th century. Being an important but lesser recognized ‘member’ of the Copenhagen school Diebner voiced serious criticism of contemporary biblical scholarship which is discussed in the first seven chapters. The remaining chapters offer challenging new perspectives on well-known themes narratives and compositions related to history ideology and archaeology on the one hand and text and canon on the other as alternatives to traditional historical–critical approaches. Now published in English for the first time this volume makes these essays available to Anglophone students and scholars of biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies. | Failed Methods and Ideology in Canonical Interpretation of Biblical Texts Changing Perspectives 9

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

This book explores the effectiveness of governance networks on the design and implementation of sustainability strategies. European cities are actively developing sustainability strategies to address the impact of climate change. One recent approach many cities have taken is the creation of ‘governance networks’: groups of public private and third sector organisations which collaborate to support urban sustainability efforts. Drawing on two case studies in Glasgow and Copenhagen this book explores the concept of governance networks in theory and practice revealing how stakeholder collaboration leadership and innovation within these networks can help or hinder the process. It also highlights the many benefits of these networks including increased participation in the decision-making process increased levels of resources and expertise on sustainability issues as well as stakeholder buy-in for sustainability policies. This book provides recommendations for improving the efficiency of governance networks and will be of interest to academics and practitioners working in the areas of urban governance and sustainability. | Governance Networks for Sustainable Cities Connecting Theory and Practice in Europe

The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe Reanimating Art

The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe Reanimating Art

This book examines the art of Cobra a network of poets and artists from Copenhagen Brussels and Amsterdam (1948–1951). Although the name stood for the organizers’ home cities the Cobra artists hailed from countries in Europe Africa and the United States. This book investigates how a group of struggling young artists attempted to reinvent the international avant-garde after the devastation of the Second World War to create artistic experiments capable of facing the challenges of postwar society. It explores how Cobra’s experimental often collective art works and publications relate to broader debates in Europe about the use of images to commemorate violent events the possibility of free expression in an art world constrained by Cold War politics the breakdown of primitivism in an era of colonial independence movements and the importance of spontaneity in a society increasingly dominated by the mass media. This book will be of interest to scholars in art history 20th-century modern art avant-garde arts and European history. | The Cobra Movement in Postwar Europe Reanimating Art

The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

This book examines new tenements—dense medium-rise multi-storey residences that have been the backbone of European inner-city regeneration since the 1970s and came with a new positive view on urban living. Focusing principally on Berlin Copenhagen Glasgow Rotterdam and Vienna it relates architectural design to an evolving intellectual framework that mixed anti-modernist criticism with nostalgic images and strategic goals and absorbed ideas about the city as a generator of creativity locale of democratic debate and object of personal identification. This book analyses new tenements in the context of the post-functionalist city and its mixed-use neighbourhoods redeveloped industrial sites and regenerated waterfronts. It demonstrates that these buildings are both generators and outcome of an urban environment characterised by information exchange rather than industrial production individual expression rather than mass culture visible history rather than comprehensive renewal and conspicuous difference rather than egalitarianism. It also shows that new tenements evolved under a welfare state that all over Europe has come under pressure but still to a certain degree balances and controls heterogeneity and economic disparities. | The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

Real Recognition What Literary Texts Reveal about Social Validation and the Politics of Identity

Real Recognition What Literary Texts Reveal about Social Validation and the Politics of Identity

Real Recognition investigates the complexities of literary and social recognition with the aim of putting a fresh cross-disciplinary spin on reader identification and social acknowledgment. Engaging with contemporary Danish and Anglophone works on racialization disability and gender Marie-Elisabeth Lei Pihl argues in favor of a close relation between aesthetic appeals to recognition and the political dimensions of literary texts. Moreover she proposes a framework bent on experience and relations as opposed to identity and status for articulating new fruitful understandings of how literary texts call for aesthetic and social recognition. Based on this she argues that literary texts can make readers get what social validation is about – and thereby help us redefine a key concept in the social sciences. Marie-Elisabeth Lei Pihl earned her PhD in literature and sociology from the University of Southern Denmark in 2020. Currently she works as a postdoctoral researcher within narrative medicine and literature-based social interventions at the University of Southern Denmark in collaboration with the National Institute of Public Health in Copenhagen. Chapter 3 of this book is available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www. routledge. com.

Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities Transforming Streets to Address Climate Change

Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities Transforming Streets to Address Climate Change

Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities outlines and explains adaptation urbanism as a theoretical framework for understanding and evaluating resilience projects in cities and relates it to pressing contemporary policy issues related to urban climate change mitigation and adaptation. Through a series of detailed case studies this book uncovers the promise and tensions of a new wave of resilient communities in Europe (Copenhagen Rotterdam and London) and the United States (New Orleans and South Florida). In addition best practice projects in Amsterdam Barcelona Delft Utrecht and Vancouver are examined. The authors highlight how these communities are reinventing the role of streets and connecting public spaces in adapting to and mitigating climate change through green/blue infrastructure planning maintaining and enhancing sustainable transportation options and struggling to ensure equitable development for all residents. The case studies demonstrate that while there are some more universal aspects to encouraging adaptation urbanism there are also important local characteristics that need to be both acknowledged and celebrated to help local communities thrive in the era of climate change. The book also provides key policy lessons and a roadmap for future research in adaptation urbanism. Advancing resilience policy discourse through multidisciplinary framework this work will be of great interest to students of urban planning geography transportation landscape architecture and environmental studies as well as resilience practitioners around the world. | Adaptation Urbanism and Resilient Communities Transforming Streets to Address Climate Change

Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice

Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice

The term climate justice began to gain traction in the late 1990s following a wide range of activities by social and environmental justice movements that emerged in response to the operations of the fossil fuel industry and later to what their members saw as the failed global climate governance model that became so transparent at COP15 in Copenhagen. The term continues to gain momentum in discussions around sustainable development climate change mitigation and adaptation and has been slowly making its way into the world of international and national policy. However the connections between these remain unestablished. Addressing the need for a comprehensive and integrated reference compendium The Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice provides students academics and professionals with a valuable insight into this fast-growing field. Drawing together a multidisciplinary range of authors from the Global North and South this Handbook addresses some of the most salient topics in current climate justice research including just transition urban climate justice and public engagement in addition to the field’s more traditional focus on gender international governance and climate ethics. With an emphasis on facilitating learning based on cutting-edge specialised climate justice research and application each chapter draws from the most recent sources real-world best practices and tutored reflections on the strategic dimensions of climate justice and its related disciplines. The Routledge Handbook of Climate Justice will be essential reading for students and scholars as well as being a vital reference tool for those practically engaged in the field.

History Archaeology and The Bible Forty Years After Historicity Changing Perspectives 6

History Archaeology and The Bible Forty Years After Historicity Changing Perspectives 6

In History Archaeology and the Bible Forty Years after Historicity Hjelm and Thompson argue that a ‘crisis’ broke in the 1970s when several new studies of biblical history and archaeology were published questioning the historical-critical method of biblical scholarship. The crisis formed the discourse of the Copenhagen school’s challenge of standing positions which—together with new achievements in archaeological research—demand that the regional history of ancient Israel Judaea and Palestine be reconsidered in all its detail. This volume examines the major changes that have taken place within the field of Old Testament studies since the ground breaking works of Thomas Thompson and John van Seters in 1974 and 1975 (both republished in 2014). The book is divided in three sections: changing perspectives in biblical studies history and cult and ideology and history presenting new articles from some of the field’s best scholars with comprehensive discussion of historical archaeological anthropological cultural and literary approaches to the Hebrew Bible and Palestine’s history. The essays question: How does biblical history relate to the archaeological history of Israel and Palestine? and Can we view the history of the region independently of a biblical perspective? by looking at the problem from alternative angles and questioning long-held interpretations. Unafraid to break new ground History Archaeology and the Bible Forty Years after Historicity is a vital resource to students in the field of Biblical and East Mediterranean Studies and anyone with an interest in the archaeology history and religious development in Palestine and the ancient Near East. | History Archaeology and The Bible Forty Years After Historicity Changing Perspectives 6

Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

These documents were selected by Rear-Admiral Thursfield for the light they throw on life afloat in the Navy of the Napoleonic era rather than for their contribution to the history of the operations in which their authors took part. They comprise four ‘Journals’ based mainly on dairies kept at the time and written up at a later date for enjoyment by the author’s friends and family. The fifth document is not a journal at all but the Order Book of a frigate captain. In addition eleven letters are included written by men from the lower deck. Each journal is headed by an Introduction which puts it in its historical context. The journal of the Rev Edward Mangin is a lively record of life aboard a 74-gun battleship in 1812 written by a clergyman who was deeply shocked by the events and deaths he witnessed. Four of the paintings he made on the Gloucester are reproduced. Peter Cullen’s journal covers the period 1789-1802 starting from the time he joined the Navy as an assistant surgeon. He gives a long account of the mutiny at the Nore and was present at Nelson’s battle at Copenhagen. Robert Wilson was a pressed man an able seaman promoted to be signalman on the smart frigate Unité from 1805 to 1809. His journal is packed with details of the many varied duties she undertook in the Mediterranean in the post-Trafalgar period and how these affected her officers and crew. Charles Abbot was a midshipman on the Alceste when she carried Lord Amherst to China as ambassador in 1816 and sank off Borneo on her return voyage. | Five Naval Journals 1789-1817

An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

The core content of even the most intricate intellectual edifices is often a simple fact or idea. So is it with quantum mechanics; the entire mathematical fabric of the formal description of quantum mechanics stems essentially from the fact that quantum probabilities interfere (i. e. from the superposition principle). This book is dedicated to substantiating this claim. In the process the book tries to demonstrate how the factual content of quantum mechanics can be transcribed in the formal language of vector spaces and linear transformations by disentangling the empirical content from the usual formal description. More importantly it tries to bring out what this transcription achieves. The book uses a pedagogic strategy which reverse engineers the postulates of quantum mechanics to device a schematic outline of the empirical content of quantum mechanics from which the postulates are then reconstructed step by step. This strategy is adopted to avoid the disconcerting details of actual experiments (however simplified) to spare the beginner of issues that lurk in the fragile foundations of the subject. In the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics the key idea is measurement. But measurement carries an entirely different meaning from the connotation that the term carries elsewhere in physics. This book strives to underline this as strongly as possible. The book is intended as an undergraduate text for a first course in quantum mechanics. Since the book is self contained it may also be used by enthusiastic outsiders interested to get a glimpse of the core content of the subject. Features: Demonstrates why linear algebra is the appropriate mathematical language for quantum mechanics. Uses a reconstructive approach to motivate the postulates of quantum mechanics. Builds the vocabulary of quantum mechanics by showing how the entire body of its conceptual ingredients can be constructed from the single notion of quantum measurement. | An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics From Facts to Formalism

Unequal Cities The Challenge of Post-Industrial Transition in Times of Austerity

Unequal Cities The Challenge of Post-Industrial Transition in Times of Austerity

This seminal edited collection examines the impact of austerity and economic crisis on European cities. Whilst on the one hand the struggle for competitiveness has induced many European cities to invest in economic performance and attractiveness on the other national expenditure cuts and dominant neo-liberal paradigms have led many to retrench public intervention aimed at preserving social protection and inclusion. The impact of these transformations on social and spatial inequalities – whether occupational structures housing solutions or working conditions – as well as on urban policy addressing these issues is traced in this exemplary piece of comparative analysis grounded in original research. Unequal Cities links existing theories and debates with newer discussions on the crisis to develop a typology of possible orientations of local government towards economic development and social cohesion. In the process it describes the challenges and tensions facing six large European cities representative of a variety of welfare regimes in Western Europe: Barcelona Copenhagen Lyon Manchester Milan and Munich. It seeks to answer such key questions as:What social groups are most affected by recent urban transformations and what are the social and spatial impacts? What are the main institutional factors influencing how cities have dealt with the challenges facing them? How have local political agendas articulated the issues and what influence is still exerted by national policy? Grounded in an original urban policy analysis of the post-industrial city in Europe the book will appeal to a wide range of social science researchers Ph. D. and graduate students in urban studies social policy sociology human geography European studies and business studies both in Europe and internationally. | Unequal Cities The Challenge of Post-Industrial Transition in Times of Austerity

Volume 7 Tome III: Kierkegaard and His Danish Contemporaries - Literature Drama and Aesthetics

Volume 7 Tome III: Kierkegaard and His Danish Contemporaries - Literature Drama and Aesthetics

The period of Kierkegaard's life corresponds to Denmark's Golden Age which is conventionally used to refer to the period covering roughly the first half of the nineteenth century when Denmark's most important writers philosophers theologians poets actors and artists flourished. Kierkegaard was often in dialogue with his fellow Danes on key issues of the day. His authorship would be unthinkable without reference to the Danish State Church the Royal Theater the University of Copenhagen or the various Danish newspapers and journals such as The Corsair F¦drelandet and Kj¸benhavns flyvende Post which played an undeniable role in shaping his development. The present volume features articles that employ source-work research in order to explore the individual Danish sources of Kierkegaard's thought. The volume is divided into three tomes in order to cover the different fields of influence. Tome III is dedicated to the diverse Danish sources that fall under the rubrics Literature Drama and Aesthetics. The Golden Age is known as the period when Danish prose first established itself in genres such as the novel; moreover it was also an age when some of Denmark's most celebrated national poets flourished. Accordingly this tome contains articles on Kierkegaard's use of the great Danish poets and prose writers whose works are frequently quoted and alluded to throughout his writings. Kierkegaard regularly attended dramatic performances at Copenhagen's Royal Theater which was one of Europe's leading playhouses at the time. In this tome his appreciation for the art of Denmark's best-known actors and actresses is traced. Finally this tome features articles on the leading literary critics and aesthetic theorists of the Golden Age who served as foils for Kierkegaard's own ideas. | Volume 7 Tome III: Kierkegaard and His Danish Contemporaries - Literature Drama and Aesthetics
