Abstract:
SummaryMetropolization is not a new phenomenon: metropolises have been around for centuries. The prime and permanent function of a metropolis is the coordination of economic activities at a world scale. This function has been applied to different activities in history, depending on technological conditions and economic organization, and consequently it generated different forms of metropolises. The resulting continuities and discontinuities in the metropolises' evolution can be understood in terms of agglomeration economies. In the pre-industrial period, the trading metropolis coordinates long range trade. The industrial revolutions generate new needs for coordination of production and give rise to the manufacturing metropolis. Finally, the information revolution and the emergence of the post-industrial economy create the global metropolis.

Abstract:
In 1991, when Russia opened again, the world became a global world, where the regions organised by metropolises turned into global economic players. According to the newest research, a metropolis is an urban centre of not less than a million of inhabitants, concentrating upper service and control functions, disseminating prosperity to its hinterland and acting as "commutator" with the world economy. Empirical evidence shows that the existence of one or a few metropolises is the important condition of the wealth and competitiveness of countries. The paper investigates the question whether the overcentralised and non-metropolised post-Soviet economic space could become a mighty global economic player. The transformation of some Russian big cities besides Moscow into real metropolises is required in that respect.

Abstract:
Alexandria and Istanbul, through diverse texts and writers, meet and intersect in their attempt to reconstruct and rebuild the metropolis’s character. Our method advocates spatiotemporal events in augmented literature that enable reflection of the palimpsest of historical frames. On a higher level, what we propose in this work is the dialogic field between the two metropolises, as it could be provided by novels’ chronotopes with the aid of augmented reality. We undertake a twofold task, to reveal the awareness of the connections between places and the connection and attachment of particular spaces, by unifying two approaches. First, Ecocriticism that comprises the ways in which novels express socio-cultural frameworks of the natural environment. The second approach is based on the strong interrelations of place engagement with collective and cultural memory. The linking of both urban, spatial geometry and topology with the waterscape for both metropolises, in our proposed conceptualization of a chronotope-based augmented continuum, endeavors to provide, firstly, the dialogic relations between the two metropolises, between each metropolis and the waterscape and, secondly, between urbanscape and waterscape and the novels’ fictional frameworks. Within the framework of the augmented reality, we synthesize the writers’ fictional cities with the factual surroundings of the metropolises in order to reconstruct the fragmented natural and architectural urban views in the continuity of the urban fabric, thus ending up proposing a dynamic repository of the metropolis landscape’s natural, collective and cultural memory.

Abstract:
Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolia (Metropolis GZM) is the first metropolitan association operating in Poland according to the Act. It includes 41 municipalities of various sizes, administrative statuses and affiliations to cultural regions. This situation poses a significant challenge for integrating municipalities and residents of the Metropolis GZM. The article presents an analysis of selected social dimensions of intra-metropolitan diversity, taking into account the size structure of the municipality and the cultural heterogeneity of the Metropolis GZM. The empirical point of reference was a secondary analysis of data from original and co-authored research conducted in the metropolitan area in the last ten years and publicly available data from public sources. Their analysis revealed, on the one hand, the durability of symbolic boundaries (including phantom ones), the emerging new divisions (between new and rooted inhabitants of peripheral metropolitan municipalities), and, on the other hand, the deepening functional integration of the municipalities and inhabitants belonging to Metropolis GZM.

Abstract:
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were studied with the aim of investigating the compositional profile of particulate matters in offices and residential areas in Bonny metropolis. A Gas-chromatography Mass spectrometer was used to evaluate PAHs bound in dust retained in air-conditioning unit filters from office and residential buildings in Bonny metropolitan. The results obtained show that office and residential areas had average summation (PAHs) of 39.52 and 21.14 mg/kg, respectively. Acenaphthalene and naphthalene were the most common PAHs in Bonny Metropolis. In addition, the carcinogenic summation (PAH) from the Bonny office and residential areas was found to be 14.87 and 8.10 mg/kg, respectively. Bonny metropolis has a greater concentration of PAH hazardous pollutants. This could be attributable to the metropolis’s intense industrial operations and uncontrolled activities coupled with continuous gas flaring which contributed significantly to the concentration of PAHs within Bonny metropolis. Thus, the government should enact and implement environmental restrictions that regulate industrial emissions in the city under study.

Abstract:
This article covers the foundation of Kievan Metropolia, which remains a stumbling stone for the modern historians. The author draws parallels between the opinions of experts of the past (G. Geltzer, J. Darrouzès, M. D. Priselkov, A. Poppen and E. Honigmann) and the latest scientific data. In the middle of the XX century, the Byzantinist E. Honigmann was first to use in solution of this problem the Byzantine codes of cannon – lists of metropolias of the Patriarchate of Constantinople (notitiae episcopatuum). The modern Russian historiography proves the hypothesis of E. Honigmann that “the Russian Metropolia as a part of Tsarigrad Patriarchate was established by 997 at the latest”. However, the latest research confute the outdated argument that Kievan Metropolia initially was under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Constantinople. This article is first to introduce the Byzantine source of the late X century – the message of Leo of Synada to the anonymous Metropolis of Ephesus from the collection Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (Cod. Vindob. Phil. Gr. 342. fol. 163v, 166v-167v.). Although, the Vienna manuscript has been subjected to detailed description in a number of works, with regards to realities of the time of Christianization of Rus’ is examined for the first time. The unique information from the message of Leo of Synada about the Metropolis of Ephesus as “Head of the Church” was verified based on the paramount post-Byzantine monument of the XVI century, which is the synodic “assertive” charter of the Patriarch of Constantinople Joasaph II (of December 1560). The comparative analysis of Byzantine sources of the X and the XVI centuries, which contain identical information on this topic, confirms that namely Metropolitan of Ephesus, endowed with patriarchal dignity and nominated as “head of the Church” in the Greek manuscript of the X century from the collection Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, became the legitimate participant of creation of the autocephalous Kievan Metropolia since the time of Christianization of Rus’ by Vladimir the Great.

Resumo: Metropolís, dirigido por Fritz Lang em 1926, é um filme fundador que criou uma estética própria e influenciou inúmeras realizações posteriores. Blade Runner, dirigido por Ridley Scott em 1982, cita e reelabora diversos elementos de Metropolís, ao mesmo tempo em que se apresenta como um dos filmes mais representativos da década de 80. Esta dissertação de mestrado realiza uma minuciosa análise dos dois filmes e suas inter-relações, partindo do princípio de que Blade Runner apresenta características estéticas, narrativas e ideológicas já tratadas no Metropolis de Lang, em 1926, mas com "fôlego" redimensionado aos anos 80. A dissertação se organiza em torno de três eixos principais: a cidade, a metalinguagem e as alegorias. No 1° capítulo da dissertação são analisadas as fontes estéticas que deram origem às metrópoles futuristas de Fritz Lang e RidIey Scott. O foco se dirige para a arquitetura, elemento relevante em ambos os filmes, a ponto de a cidade ganhar status de protagonista. A reflexão sobre a articulação entre tempo e espaço na metrópole dá ensejo a meditações sobre elementos como o gótico, o kitsch, o expressionismo,o futurismo, o film noir, etc. No 2º capítulo, "Os Olhos da Metrópole ou As Mídias dentro da Mídia", emerge o tema da metalinguagem, ou como são tratadas as questões da mídia e das tecnologias de comunicação (fotografia, cinema e vídeo), tanto por Lang quanto por Scott. Neste capítulo ganha destaque a discussão acerca dos simulacros, tema presente em ambos os filmes estudados. No 3º e último capítulo, o foco incide sobre como se constroem as lendas de Metropolis e Blade Runner, com o propósito de identificar o discurso ideológico ou a crítica social contidos nos personagens e na ação desses dois fIlmes, dos quais, sobressaem aspectos como a religião, o tema do duplo e discursos político raciais. Na conclusão são amarradas as proposições levantadas nos capítulos anteriores, com vistas a associar Metropolis e Blade Runner a projetos respectivamente moderno e pós-moderno de sociedades do futuro
Abstract: Metropolís, directed by Fritz Lang in 1925-6, is a foundational film which launched a new aesthtetics and became extremely influencial. Blade Runner, directed by Ridley Scott in 1982, quotes and re-elaborates several elements of Metropolis, becoming one of the most representative movies of the 80's. This Master's dissertation cames on a detailed analysis of both films and their inter-relations, departing from the idea that Blade Runner presents aesthetic, narrative and ideological issues already approached by Lang in 1926, but under a perspective of the 80's. This dissertation is structured around three axes: the city, the metalanguage and the allegories. Thus, in the 1st chapter of the thesis, "The Architecture of the Metropolis: Metropolis, 2026; Los Angeles, 2019", the aesthetic sources of Lang's and Scott's futuristic metropolis are analysed. In focus is the architecture, an element so relevant in both films that the city acquires the status of protagonist. The reflection on the articulation between time and space in the metropolis is followed by meditations on elements such as the gothic, the kitsch, the expressionism, the futurism, the film noir, etc. The 2nd chapter, "The Eyes of the Metropolis or The Media inside the Mediun", deals with the issue of the metalanguage, lookíng at how the media and communication technologies (photography, cinema and video) are approached by Lang and Scott. Special attention is given to the discussion on simulacra, present in both the films. The 3rd chapter, "Constructing the Legend", explains how the legends of Metropolis and Blade Runner are constructed. The aim is to identify the ideological discourse and the social critique suggested by the characters and the action of both fIlms, taking into consideration aspects such as religion, the double and racial and political speeches. The conclusion ties up the arguments raised in the previous chapters, finally associating Metropolis and Blade Runner respectively to modem and postmodern projects of future societies

Abstract:
The image of the destruction of the city has a long history, and resonates disturbingly with current events. It seems to question the very possibility of creating an architecture – that is, of giving the world a form and thereby a meaning. This thesis charts mutations of that imagery as it emerges in three visual narratives punctuating the last century: the "Metropolis" tales. These are Fritz Lang's film of 1926, Tezuka Osamu's manga or graphic novel of 1949, and the 2001 work of anime or Japanese animated film by director Rintarô. Despite their differences, these tales exhibit a fundamental overlap of concern: each deals in its own way with crises in modern conditions of life, crises articulated not only in the imagery of the city but also in that of the broken bodies central to it. The thesis argues that this imagery, hovering at the brink of and ultimately passing beyond the line of apocalypse, articulates an undiminished human yearning to engage in a life project. In our time this yearning, this desire, takes on a new form in which the city and the body adopt a precarious and problematic relationship to their image. But perhaps the seeming instability of this condition as articulated in disrupted bodies and cities is a more faithful reflection of the fundamental human anxiety reflected in myth, and the more foundational destructuring involved in our perception and making of the world, than any whole and healthy body, than any utopia.
L'image de la destruction de la ville a une longue histoire et évoque aussi malheureusement des événements récents de l’actualité. Cette thèse retrace les transformations de cette imagerie dans trois récits visuels qui ont marqués le siècle dernier : , le film de Fritz Lang (1926), le manga, une bande dessinée de Tezuka Osamu (1949), et le film d’animation japonais anime dirigé par Rintarô (2001). Malgré leur différences, ces trois récits partagent une préoccupation profonde : la crise de la condition de vie moderne. Cette crise est représentée par l’imagerie de la ville mais aussi par celle des corps brisés qui y habitent. Cette thèse interprète ces images qui gravitent toutes autour du risque de l’apocalypse pour finalement y échapper comme la persistance du désir humain de se réaliser dans le monde. De nos jours, ce désir prend une forme nouvelle dans laquelle la ville et le corps adoptent une relation instable et problématique. Cependant, la précarité apparente de cette condition qui s’exprime par les corps détraqués de la ville et de ses habitants traduit peut-être plus fidèlement la condition humaine que les représentations de villes utopiques ou que l’apparence d’un corps sain et entier. Cette thèse postule que l’imagerie moderne de la ville en destruction offre une représentation des anxiétés fondamentales de l’homme, qui rappelle l’imagerie des mythes anciens et la déstructuration nécessaire dans tout projet de perception et de création.

Reid, Margaret. "Melodrama : metropolis : modernity." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2011. http://research.gold.ac.uk/6541/.

Full text
Abstract:
The principal aim of this thesis is to extend current understandings of the dynamics of stage melodrama, as it was practised on the stages of the minor theatres in London during the second quarter of the nineteenth century, specifically by exploring the ways in which the genre represented, mediated, inflected, processed and systematised the experience of life in the new metropolis. A critical methodology has been employed in this study that is best described as hybrid, combining elements of cultural materialist analysis with a more performance-oriented mode of textual analysis. Where appropriate, reference is made to surviving publicity surrounding original productions such as playbills and reviews and, in order to locate the work within a concrete culture of production and consumption, to available data on the minor theatres in which it was performed. The theoretical underpinning of this study draws on a range of existing arguments surrounding the relationship between melodrama and modernity, but also on the work of urban theorists and cultural historians who have identified the metropolis as a significant catalyst in the formation of modernity. After outlining the conceptual framework and reviewing existing literature in the field, chapters continue with discussions of the emergence of proletarian protagonists in melodrama and their relationship with developing notions of metropolitan class consciousness; melodramatic representations of metropolitan space and the dynamics of movement through that space; nostalgic stagings of the rural past; melodrama’s relationship to Simmelian notions of metropolitan ‘mental life’; and the synergies between melodrama, the spectacular, and metropolitan culture. The overall aim is to add to current understanding of how melodrama interpreted the shifting physical forms and subjective and social experience of the early nineteenth-century city, but also how the city itself shaped, limited and enabled the forms of expression adopted by melodramatists.

Abstract:
Particle Markov Chain Monte Carlo (PMCMC) samplers allow for routine inference of parameters and states in challenging nonlinear problems. A common choice for the parameter proposal is a simple random walk sampler, which can scale poorly with the number of parameters. In this paper, we propose to use log-likelihood gradients, i.e. the score, in the construction of the proposal, akin to the Langevin Monte Carlo method, but adapted to the PMCMC framework. This can be thought of as a way to guide a random walk proposal by using drift terms that are proportional to the score function. The method is successfully applied to a stochastic volatility model and the drift term exhibits intuitive behaviour.

Full text
Abstract:
This commentary documents the compositional process of writing film music for the classic expressionist silent film Metropolis (Lang, 1927), using MIDI-based orchestral sound resources. Metropolis was chosen from within other possibilities, such as Battleship Potemkin or Nosferatu, not only due to the belief that the film’s surreal eerie mood and machine-like characters could be represented well by the Second Viennese School’s musical style that I intended to adopt, but also due to a judgment that leitmotivic transformation and use of themes as character links fit into a work so rich with characters’ showing subtle psychological states. I set out to compose an original orchestral score for Metropolis with the idea in mind, that film music should contribute to the audience’s integration with the drama and reinforcement of dramatic tensions by strategically supporting the film’s plot and narrative, and that an agreeable conceptual blending between film and music would be crucial to a successful composition. For this task, a thorough review of the leitmotif and related literature about music semiotics and meanings, together with a brief discussion of the MIDI sampler orchestra, proved to be necessary. Metropolis, a pioneering masterpiece of sci-fi, which contains a gloomy portrait of the futuristic world, encouraged me to experiment with the diverse possibilities not only of the leitmotif, but also of kaleidoscopic sound originating from various combinations of virtual instruments of the MIDI sampler orchestra and ultimately to show my musical process. The document traces the leitmotif as a primary compositional device for thematic manoeuvre in both film composers’ scores and major scholars’ discussions; it also incorporates current scholarly research about music semiotics and meanings, which has guided choices in each stage of my compositional process. I have revealed how I applied such lessons as Ennio Morricone’s microcell technique, Danny Elfman’s transformation approaches to thematic material, Howard Shore’s reflection of meaning onto music, and Ilan Eshkeri’s use of themes as character links to my Metropolis. I organized the main character’s associate themes using microcell and transformation techniques and contextualised them as character links. For instance, I produced tunes for cold-hearted characters, such as Rotwang, robot Maria, and high buildings, with the twelve-tone technique, poignant dissonances through interval-classes 1 and 6, recursive rhythmic patterns, or their combinations; I also adopted two distinct types of an octatonic scale to describe contrasting personalities of the two characters and a chord based on 2nd intervals to express the moment when Rotwang’s evil reaches its zenith. Metropolis serves not only as an artistic repository for numerous symbols, but also as a web of leitmotifs towards musical and filmic unity.

Full text
Abstract:
Beginning with its historical setting, architectural discourse conceived city as its ultimate object, as the ultimate extension of the composition: the largest building. It relentlessly aimed to link its &ldquo
pure&rdquo
object&mdash
building&mdash
to the city either by locating the two within the general processes of material production or through analogies. Yet, despite such continuity, architecture&rsquo
s relationship with the city was conceived as the projection of an internal economy onto the city and remained unilateral. Architecture operated from the small scale to the large scale, radiating its &lsquo
specificity&rsquo
through the city via building. It became obvious in the late 20th century that it was not the &lsquo
architectural specificity&rsquo
to penetrate into modern metropolis but vice versa. Being a complex agglomeration of cultural systems&mdash
including design itself&mdash
metropolitan multiplicity resists the determination of significance of built environment through the specific codes of any institutionalized practice. Acknowledging such a complex system of relationships, namely &ldquo
metropolitan non-design,&rdquo
this study offers a reassessment of &lsquo
architectural design&rsquo
within the contemporary &lsquo
metropolitan condition.&rsquo
Departing from the disjunction(s) between the significance attributed through design and its appropriation through metropolitan non-design, work at hand aims to elaborate a new mode of &lsquo
architectural intervention&rsquo
compatible with the metropolitan instability. Through a cross-examination of Rem Koolhaas&rsquo
s &lsquo
Delirious New York&rsquo
and OMA&rsquo
s &lsquo
Parc de la Villette,&rsquo
concepts such as &lsquo
program,&rsquo
&ldquo
void,&rdquo
&ldquo
Bigness&rdquo
and &lsquo
architectural scale&rsquo
will be reassessed. Moreover, the goal is to replace the conception of architecture-metropolis relationship that is formulated through a duality with one that is conceived in terms of interacting, contiguous signifying structures.

Abstract:
New York City’s drinking water supply has evolved from private wells to a complex system of upstate reservoirs and aqueducts, although not without social and political conflict. In particular, a balance must be found between population pressures both in upstate watershed regions and downstate. This case study is based on a 1995 controversy concerning the regulation of NYC’s water quality following new national laws. Students will adopt the concerns of one of the major groups involved (government entities, upstate stakeholders, downstate stakeholders, or environment groups) to actively come to a decision, with follow up to compare their discussions with what actually occurred.
