Abstract:
L'histoire des droites en France en 1851 paraît étonnante à un esprit raisonnable. Conservatrices et monarchiques, très majoritaires dans l'Assemblée législative élue en 1849, elles ne parviennent pas à s'accorder pour enrayer la marche du prince-président, Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte, qu'elles ont fait élire, vers le coup d’État du 2 décembre et le rétablissement de l'Empire. Il faut alors se demander si les différences de leurs idées politiques, philosophiques ou religieuses ne sont pas plus profondes que les apparences ne le laissent supposer. On verra que les blocages souvent pusillanimes de 1851 résultent de divisions essentielles qu'il faut aller chercher loin dans la représentation que l'on se fait à droite de l'ancien régime, de la révolution et de la contre-révolution, de la liberté, de l'autorité et de l'ordre, de la monarchie et de la république, et du catholicisme dans la société dite « moderne ». Au-dessus, une summa divisio peut être trouvée dans l'opposition irréductible entre la liberté chrétienne classique et la liberté philosophiste issue des Lumières « illuminées », que l'on aura soin de distinguer des Lumières simplement « éclairées ». Contrairement aux idées reçues, cette opposition divise l'ancien personnel de Juillet, plus que le légitimisme et l‟orléanisme, et révèle un orléanisme scindé de longue date en deux doctrines irréconciliables. Avant la narration des faits de 1851, il a été jugé bon de s'intéresser aux personnes. L'opposition de Guizot et de Thiers, qui reflète celle ci-dessus, est connue. On insistera sur les principaux acteurs du légitimisme, du fusionnisme et de l'orléanisme, les princes des deux branches des Bourbons, et les politiques et les journaux qui les représentent à Paris, pour tenter de trouver, dans leur psychologie, des éléments de réponse à ce que l'on pourrait aussi titrer : l'échec des droites en 1851. Échec des tentatives répétées de fusion et de restauration monarchique ; échec des tentatives de révision constitutionnelle ; échec prévisible d'une incertaine candidature du prince de Joinville ; tentatives désespérées, et brouillonnes, de résistance parlementaire aux préparatifs de Louis-Napoléon ; jusqu'au lâche soulagement du coup d’État, par peur d‟une nouvelle terreur révolutionnaire
History of right-wing parties in France in 1851 seems to be surprising to a reasonable mind. In 1849, the conservative and monarchist representatives have got a large majority to the Legislative Assembly, but they are unable to agree to stop the march of the prince-president, Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte, they had done elected, towards the coup d'Etat of 2-December and the restoration of the Empire. So, we have to wonder if their disagreements in political, philosophical and religious fields, are not more profound than it has previously appeared. Indeed, blockages of 1851, often pusillanimous, are the consequence of substantial divisions we have to search deep into the representations right-wing parties had in mind regarding the Old Regime, revolution and counter-revolution, liberty, authority and order, monarchy and republic, as well as catholicism in the “modern” society. Above, a summa divisio can be found in the irreducible opposition between the christian concept of liberty and the philosophist one, the latter coming from what we call “illuminated” Enlightenment that we take care to distinguish from merely “enlighted” Enlightenment. Contrary to stereotypes, this opposition divides the former personnel of the July Monarchy more than the legitimism on one hand, and the orleanism on the other hand, and reveals the orleanism has been split into two irreconcilable doctrines for a long time.Before coming to the facts of 1851, we have thought it was interesting to bring characters to light. The opposition of Guizot and Thiers, that reflects the above mentioned one, is well known. We shall identify the main actors of the legitimism, those of the fusionist movement, and of the orleanism as well: princes of both branches of the Bourbon family, and politicians and newspapers who represent them in Paris; then, we will try to find in their psychology some elements of explanation to what we could have titled: The Failure of Right-wing Parties in 1851. Failure of repeated attempts of fusion and monarchist restoration; failure of attempts of constitutional review; foreseeable failure of prince de Joinville‟s uncertain candidacy, desperate and blundering attempts of parliamentary resistance to Louis-Napoleon‟s preparations; till a cowardly relief at the time of the coup d‟Etat, for fear of a new revolutionary terror

Abstract:
This report is based on a three month internship at the New Orleans Opera Association during the summer of 1996. In this report, the intern has attempted to present the Opera's past practices while comparing them to its current ideologies and projecting where the company is headed in the future. She has highlighted the Opera's strengths and objectively analyzed the areas of concern. At the same time she has emphasized the fact that the New Orleans Opera Association is and will remain an extremely successful opera company with loyal and generous supporters. The Association shows every promise of continuing to provide New Orleans and the Gulf South region with first class opera performances by hiring some of the finest voices in the opera world and staging theatrical extravaganzas that will entertain and delight audiences well into the 21st century.

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2012.
This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.
Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 120-121).
This thesis claims to develop alternative energy-harvesting systems by looking at their implementation at the residential scale in order to facilitate the economical autonomy of a community and thus improve its living conditions. It can be said that the evolution of the farming tools brought an opportunity of emancipation to farmers -- greater production yields than what was necessary to subsist were sold on markets thus increasing the economical power of the farmer and conceptually stretching the domestic space to the field owned. Taking the hurricane-devastated, slow-recovering New Orleans as a site for intervention, the thesis will challenge existing building materials for their flood resistance and reaction to an inundated environment while developing tools to harvest energy from the multiple environmental conditions present at this location. Ultimately, the thesis will try to demonstrate how these tools will influence geography and the concept of property. Six years after the devastation of hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is still struggling to gain economical growth solely depending on tourism and oil-related businesses. Louisiana's offshore oil industry benefits from an exemption of state taxation, creating an unbalanced economical and ecological situation. Louisiana's oil is being drilled without Louisiana receiving any monetary compensation, and the bayou's biodiversity is being devastated from reoccurring oil spills along with the dredging of the sediments at the bottom of the Mississippi river to facilitate the movement of tankers and protect settlements along the river's edge. New Orleans' population currently relies on the Army Corps of Engineers' infrastructure and a colonized oil industry to survive, while it could insure its own protection against natural disasters by regaining stewardship over land and water, and by competing with the oil industry through the creation of an alternate energy market. Through the investigation of newly developed materials and energy systems created for industrial uses, and by understanding their potential in the domestic realm, this thesis will seek to create new techniques of harvesting energy which will respond to the different climatic and topographical conditions present in New Orleans; the strong winds, the variations in tides, the current velocity of the Mississippi River and the potential of the bayou's biodiversity. Moreover, it hopes to generate new methods of residential constructions and typology, adapted to different disaster threat level conditions particular to the area, and potentially reorganize the domestic realm according to its new added functions. Recognizing the possibility of another flood in New Orleans and understanding the effect of the Army Corps of Engineer's flood prevention devices on the bayou's ecosystem, the thesis's methodology will require a thorough analysis of existing hydrological methods of flood protection and water based harvest, hydro-morphological and geomorphological patterns, creating a catalog of tools from which one may start speculating in the design phase. An analysis of selected urban and architectural precedents will be useful to assess the potential of each tool and its particular repercussions on the landscape and the organization of the greater urban form. Further analysis will be devoted to energy producing and harvesting devices, procuring the thesis with insights of their impact on existing infrastructure and their potential at the residential scale for both energy performance and architectural adaptation. The content of this research will be continuously tested. Other important implementation strategies, land organization and transformation will be investigated through different scales of physical models, constantly informing the specificity of the design to its physical and ecological environment.

Abstract:
Nel caso d'Orleans come in quello di Catania non si segnala alcuna misteriosa sparizione, i fatti non sono realmente accaduti: il rumor crea l'evento. Come in un sogno in cui fantasia e realta' si confondono, la memoria collettiva si appropria del mito fluttuante, lo ancora alla realta', e di quello si serve per gridare a gran voce il proprio turbamento e le proprie contraddizioni. Tutto cio' allora sembra essere prova del fatto che quelle contraddizioni e quei turbamenti in realta' non abbandonano mai il corpo sociale ma da questo vengono riprese ed esternate quando una lettura del contesto da parte degli attori viene interpretata come sovraccarico d'ambivalenza. E' chiaro che espressa in questi termini la lettura contestuale non sara' mai espressione di una crisi oggettiva: due citta', contesti differenti, contraddizioni differenti. Ma la questione nodale sembra essere un'altra. Due citta' con contesti e contraddizioni differenti alle spalle, in tempi lontani l'una dall'altra adottano lo stesso modo di procedere: una forza mitopoietica accomuna le due citta'. Se dunque la lettura e la conseguente interpretazione del contesto sono lasciate agli attori e trovano senso se inserite in quel contesto, il ricorso a spiegazioni dal carattere mitologico e la ricerca di colpevoli potrebbero invece accomunare l'intera societa'.
In the case of Orleans as in Catania, no mysterious disappearance has been reported, the facts did not really happen: the rumor creates the event. As in a dream in which fantasy and reality mingle, the collective memory takes possession of the floating myth anchoring it to reality using it to shout loudly its own disturbance and contradictions. Then everything seems to be evidence that those contradictions and disturbances actually never leave the social body but these are recovered and expressed when a reading of the context by the actors is interpreted as overload of ambivalence. It is clear that the contextual reading expressed in these terms will never be expression of an "objective" crisis: two cities, different environments, different contradictions. But the crucial issue seems to be different. Two cities with different contexts and contradictions behind, in distant times one to the other, take the same approach: a mythopoeic force unites the two cities. If the reading of the context and its interpretation is left to the actors and finds direction when put in that context, then the use of mythological explanations and the search for culprits could unite the entire society.

Abstract:

The aim and purpose with this essay is to identify the natural conditions of the New Orleans City region, and to establish an understanding of the disastrous event of Hurricane Katrina in August 2005. Who lived in this area and how did this event affect the outcome of the disaster?

The theory is based on two Swedish human geographers Torsten Hägerstrand and Thomas Lundén, and their theories on regional geography and political geography, also regarded as “geopolitics”. Regional and Political Geography are explained as the relation between state and territory, power over the territory and the variables that affect the relations on different levels such as; economy, culture, technology, demography and communication.

The author decided to use the quantitative method in the process of research, the essay underwent an overall analyzes of the media settings, articles, written literature and documentaries. The author has been very critical to the material and data that was presented by the American authorities, media and non governmental organisations.

New Orleans City’s topography is unique in the matter that the city is constructed on a delta area, the Mississippi River, Missouri and Ohio River systems are all connected in New Orleans. That makes the land fragile, other contributing factors are the “Bowl-effect”, the city is placed under sea level between Lake Pontchartrain and the Gulf coast, in a so called “bowl”.

New Orleans was first founded in 1718 by the French and remained a French colony till 1768 when Spain took over and was later returned to the USA in 1803. The area is very attractive on a trade perspective as well as for tourism. During the years the state have tried to manage the environment and build canals, levees and establish pumps to avoid storm surge and floods. Regarding the trade and commerce issue, New Orleans are a pathway between the oil in the Mexican Gulf Coast and the rest of the US via the Mississippi River and are also the link between the US and Europe.

The US is built on 50 federal states and is governed by the president and his establishment. The federal system is superior the local government and it was widely visible during the hurricane disaster. The local authorities were helpless and banded from additional help from superiors. The scarcity of communication between the governor of Louisiana Kathleen Blanco, the mayor of New Orleans Ray Nagin, the FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and the President of the US George W. Bush were terrible, and caused the rescue resources to be delayed for over two days.

The hurricane disaster took over 1 800 human lives, flooded 80 % of the city and made over 160 000 inhabitants homeless and forced over 350 000 persons to leave their homes. The demography of New Orleans describes that over 70 % of the population are estimated to be African – Americans. The evacuation strategy failed when the poverty rate is high in the region and 120 000 persons do not own any vehicle, which made it difficult for people to move. And the crisis situation increased by the lack of effort from the authorities to help the abandoned. Normally during floods, people tend to reach for higher grounds to search for refuge. In New Orleans the effect was revised and people were drawn to the location recommended be the authorities of New Orleans, the Louisiana Superdome, whish is placed in the “bottom of the bowl”. All routes and ways were cut down between this area and the periphery.

This essay also discusses the segregation issues in New Orleans City and reflects on the ethnic discrimination charges that were laid on the government. The topic gets more difficult in relation to media representation; the media tend to put their own angles to the discussion. It is important to be critical to the realities that are given an presented.

The politicians are criticized for their management of the rescue resources and the obvious neglect of federal powers. Many of the efforts and management of resources were placed on guarding state-owned and private properties, military and police were stationed around the City to avoid people from stealing and looting.

In the end, the lack of relation between authority (the power) and the territory and its establishments and the non understanding of how to plan the city to live under better conditions in relation to this hazard area, have led to the results and consequences of the tremendous destruction after the Hurricane Katrina.


Syftet med uppsatsen är att identifiera naturförutsättningarna i amerikanska stadsregionen New Orleans och forma en förståelse av händelseförloppet under orkanen Katrinas framfart genom New Orleans i augusti 2005. Vilka bodde i de mest drabbade områdena och vilka drabbades av konsekvenserna av katastrofen?

Utgångspunkten är den regionalgeografiska teorin som utvecklades av Thomas Lundén och Torsten Hägerstrand. Deras teorier om regionalgeografi och politisk geografi, även kallad ”geopolitik”, där man förklarar relationen mellan stat och territorium, makten över marken och andra variabler som kan påverka och ha betydelse över marken, såsom: ekonomi, kultur, teknologi, demografi och kommunikation.

Författaren har valt att utgå ifrån kvantitativ metod, uppsatsen genomgick en översiktlig analys genom att analysera artiklar, media reportage, dokumentärer och skrivna texter. Författaren har behållit ett kritisktförhållningssätt vid analysen av den amerikanska litteraturen som dominerat i studiematerialet.

New Orleans topografi är unik i sin bemärkelse att staden är lokaliserad på landområde som befinner sig under havsytan. New Orleans lokalisering är även i ett delta område som binder tre flodsystem åt. Vilket är orsaken till att jorden kring detta våtmarksområde är ömtåligt och lätt brytbart. New Orleans är även hårt utsatt av flodvågor, då staden ligger dåligt placerad i en så kallad ”skål”.

New Orleans var grundad år 1718 av fransmännen och förblev en franskkoloni tills spanjorerna tog över regionen år 1768. Regionen är väldigt attraktivt för turism och handel. För att bibehålla en god levnads och handelskvalitet i området, lagstiftades och etablerades fördämningsvallar, kanaler och vattenpumpar.

Handelsmässigt är New Orleans en import och export port med handel mellan USA och Europa.

USA är uppdelade i 50 federala stater och regeras av en president och dennes administrativa enhet. De federala systemen representerar en överhet gentemot de lokala myndigheterna. Gränsen mellan över- och underordnad var extra tydlig under orkankatastrofen. Så pass tydlig att de lokala myndigheterna var begränsade i sina befogenheter, och fick därmed inte tillgång till de resurser som ansågs behövas. Problemet under Katrinakatastrofen var bristerna på kommunikation mellan Louisianas guvernör Kathleen Blanco, New Orleans borgmästare Ray Nagin och USAs president George W. Bush, som ledde till försenade hjälpmedel.

Orkanen tog över 1800 människors liv och tvingade över 350 000 människor att fly sina hem. 80 % av staden vattenfylldes/översvämmades, vilket gjorde att cirka 160 000 personer fick sina hem totalförstörda, därmed blev 160 000 personer hemlösa.

Enligt tidigare utmätningar har över 70 % av invånarna ingen tillgång fordon, vilket orsakade att dessa människor inte kunde evakuera på egen maskin. Myndigheterna var hjälplösa och medborgarna fick lite information från auktoritären.

Under sådana situationer som översvämning brukar människor dra sig till högre höjder, det som gör att New Orleans händelsen extra intressant är valet av evakueringsplats. I detta fall visar det sig att de drar sig till mitten av skålen, där det även är som mest utsatt för översvämningar och flodvågor.

Uppsatsen diskuterar även segregationsmönster i New Orleans och reflekterar över de anklagelser som riktades gentemot den amerikanska staten om etnisk diskriminering.

Uppsatsen reflekterar över media skildringarna och politikernas försök att organisera en räddningsaktion och misslyckandet av detta.

Avslutningsvis konstateras att relationen mellan makten och marken (territoriet) och dess rumsliga organisation, samt oförståelsen vid stadsplaneringen och bosättande i riskzoner, alla bidrog till konsekvenserna och resultatet av den gigantiska förödelsen efter orkanen Katrina.

This report is a description of a three-month internship from January 20, 1992 through April 20, 1992 with the New Orleans Opera Association where the intern was the assistant to the Director of Development/Marketing/Public Relations. The New Orleans Opera celebrates 50 years of financial and artistic success in the 1992/93 season and serves as an example to other arts organizations not only in New Orleans but throughout the United States. Over this fifty-year life, however, the organization has not adjusted its managerial practices sufficiently to compensate for the change throughout the business and arts-related industries; consequently, the Association operates with outdated thoughts and customs. Within the scheme of operations, however, is a very successful fundraising organization buttressed by the support of extremely loyal patrons and sold-out houses. The intern will give an overview of the organization and explain her duties and responsibilities with short and long-term effects on the Association.

Most part of the land, which is part of the region, where is Orleans has origin in a gift which princess Isabel earned when she married to Conde d Eu on October 15th 1864. They built a farmland company and shared the land and contrasted Caetano Pinto Júnior in order to bring the European immigrants. On July 8th 1882, it started the occupation in Grão Pará Colony and the first farmers began to allow that light of the sun brighted the land covered by the forest. The lands discovered have great productivity giving to everybody a rich life. There were many economic activities, but they did not have good results because of the techniques. They burned the forest and that way, in four yeas, all possibilities to grow plants were impossible. In less than a century, ther was a poor population looking for other savage regions to survive. At that time, tobacco appeared bringing many social implications/problems, which changed in an economical activity that pulled out everyone from misery. It was a very historic fact to this region in Santa Catarina as an example of family agriculture, when organized, is a way to provide social balance.
A maior parte das terras que compreendem a região de Orleans tem origem em um dote que a princesa Isabel ganhou quando se casou com o Conde d Eu em 15 de outubro de 1864. Constituíram uma Empresa Colonizadora, lotearam as terras e contratou o Comendador Caetano Pinto Junior para trazer imigrantes europeus. Em 8 de julho de 1882, iniciaram-se os trabalhos de ocupação da Colônia Grão Pará, e os primeiros colonos começaram a permitir que a luz do sol tocasse as terras cobertas pelas matas. As terras desnudadas possuíam grande produtividade, animando todos a construírem uma vida de fartura. Tiveram diversas iniciativas econômicas e nenhuma delas trouxe os resultados que esperavam, pois a técnica de lidar com a terra: derrubar a mata e queimá-la, destruía em quatros anos todo o poder de gerar plantas com viço. Em menos de meio século já tínhamos uma população pobre procurando outras regiões selvagens para sobreviver. Nessa época aparece a cultura do fumo, com muitas implicações sociais, que acabou se tornando uma atividade econômica que tirou todos da miséria e se constituiu em um fato histórico da maior importância para a região Sul de Santa Catarina, demonstrando que a agricultura familiar quando organizada é uma forma de proporcionar equilíbrio social.

Abstract:
This paper comes from 180 hours of internship with the New Orleans Film Festival in Orleans Parish, New Orleans, Louisiana. During those hours of involvement with this organization, I focused on the competitive division of the festival that was then known as Cinema 16. In the course of events, questions arose concerning the issue of board involvement in the Cinema 16 jury process and the board's administrative responsibilities. As it is with all human enterprise, there also is a continuously evolving attempt to improve methods. In the NOFF's case there is an attempt to improve the judging of the entries. What should be the board's role in that process? Cinema 16 should breathe life into the creative aspirations of fledgling filmmaker's near and far. Does the New Orleans Fum Festival do all it can to make this a reality by vigorously marketing the selected films? Memberships became a focus when the disparity between the number of members in prior years and the number in 2001 appeared large. There were approximately 350 memberships in August of 2001, compared to 600 in 1999. There appeared to be a direct correlation between the number of memberships and mail-outs to the public. What other methods could be utilized to increase their numbers? Information is power. Answers to such questions would put the festival in the position of being proactive by giving them opportunity to further fulfill their mission as well as the capability to bring in more funds to continue their work. Time was given to exploring a university population as a viable market for new memberships. The staff shed light on the need for more services to offer prospective members. These major issues served to fulfill the purpose of the internship by opening up opportunities for experience in a nonprofit arts organization. The experience in its entirety brought to light the film festival's impact on the concept that film is a credible art form celebrated by individuals everywhere. This paper should highlight the importance of the various processes, not only in giving that organization credibility but also in aiding it in making the impact it wishes to on its immediate and global community.

Abstract:
Although historians have done in-­‐depth researched on Black police in the South, before the Civil War and during Reconstruction, they seldom assess black policemen’s role in New Orleans between the Battle of Liberty Place and 1913. The men discussed here argue that despite the hardening racial attitudes in Post-­‐ Reconstruction South, in New Orleans opportunity still existed for Blacks to serve in positions of authority, perhaps a heritage of the city’s earlier tri-­‐partite racial order. The information obtained from primary sources such as police manuals, beat books, and newspapers, counters the widely held belief that African American presence in the police during this period was completely defined by Jim Crow. This work presents updated and corrected evidence that Blacks were enrolled in the New Orleans Police Department during the time of Jim Crow, challenging the notion that after 1909 Blacks in New Orleans were not part of the police department.

Through this thesis, we want to discuss how the marginalization of people, several precedent political, city planning- and engineering decisions resulted in a catastrophic outcome after hurricane Katrina in New Orleans 2005. We also put forward a case study of the Make It Right Foundation, to demonstrate how the residents of the Lower Ninth Ward are involved in the urban development of their community. We would like to draw attention to the power of citizens and how they can influence the urban development of a community after a trauma. This study also focuses on the mission of The Make It Right Foundation: which is to rebuild the Lower Ninth Ward with firm concepts on sustainable development where all dimensions are accounted: ecological, social, cultural and economic.The empirical data was collected by a field study in New Orleans 2010-03-22 and semistructured interviews were made during the same days.

Gun violence in New Orleans has grown exponentially over the years. As a society we often forget to reflect on how gun violence effects the youth in our communities. Local members of the community in New Orleans have decided to come together to form organizations that can produce better outcomes for the youth in the New Orleans area, two of those organizations being Son of A Saint and the Youth Empowerment Project. Both of these organizations have started the journey to decreasing the amount of gun violence in the city.

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to study the practices and background of Voodoo in New Orleans through a holistic lens. This holistic lens includes researching the history of Voodoo in New Orleans, previous research done on Voodoo practice in New Orleans, contacting current practitioners and performing informal interviews, and participant-observation of New Orleans Voodoo rituals. This work is divided into three sections; the first delves into the history and current state of Voodoo of New Orleans. The second section discusses how Voodoo has influenced other cultural areas in New Orleans. The third section discusses how Voodoo and tourism interrelate with one another. The conclusion of this work addresses how through out history, influences on other areas of New Orleans culture, and tourism, the original ideas of Voodoo in New Orleans has stretched out beyond the original spectacle of Voodoo into the various ways individuals think about Voodoo. This also influences how practitioners view their own practice by reacting to how non-practitioners view Voodoo. It is like the metaphor of the snake eating his own tail, how Voodoo is practiced and then perceived by outsiders keeps feeding into each other.

Abstract:
In 1996, the New Orleans Police Department implemented the COMSTAT management and accountability style of policing. Within three years of that implementation, murder was cut by over fifty percent and violent crime fell by nearly the same amount; overall crime was cut by over one-third compared to just three years ago. This dissertation seeks to explore the reasons crime declined so rapidly in New Orleans post-COMSTAT implementation, compared to crime in the rest of the country. Drawing on political and criminological theories of policing as well as sociological theories, variables unique to each set of theories were identified and tested alone and against competing explanations. Utilizing higher-ordered time series methodology, two analyses were conducted. The first utilized interrupted time-series analysis to identify the nature of COMSTAT's impact on New Orleans' crime trends, measured as changes in the current quarter compared to the same quarter of the preceding year. The results show that while COMSTAT had a significant impact on the crime trends, the effects were short-lived. The second analysis utilized traditional time series methodology to examine the impacts of the individual variables on the overall crime trends. The results show that while policing variables and sociological variables have little effect on the overall crime trends both individually and when tested together, the findings indicate policing variables play a larger role than sociological variables when included together. As another independent test of the effects of crime, public opinion data obtained via the University of New Orleans' Survey Research Center from 1986-2004 show that the public was very positive towards the NOPD's efforts in dramatically reducing crime and fear of crime in New Orleans during this period. The overall results for policy makers then indicates that reductions in crime resonate positively with city residents and future policy decisions should be made with that goal in mind.

Abstract:
Guided and influenced by a famous follow-up study in criminology focused on desistance from crime, this dissertation studies desistance from crime, homelessness, and substance abuse. In the early 1990s, The New Orleans Homeless Substance Abusers Project (NOHSAP) was founded as an experiment funded by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) to uncover optimal treatment strategies for homeless alcoholics and drug addicts. The program ran for three years (1991-1993) and in those years, 670 homeless New Orleans men and women were admitted into treatment. Some of the original clients were followed for as long as 18 months, but none of them had been re-contacted since the mid-1990s. This dissertation involves finding these individuals and re-interviewing them, to discover what life trajectories they have taken some 17-19 years later. Guided by social bonding theory, this project shows what baseline factors and conditions explain variability in life outcomes. The methodology for this study consists of three main parts: 1) a quantitative analysis of mortality data; 2) a historical analysis of criminal histories and 3) in-depth interviews. Nested logistic regression models explained differences among those who have died (n = 91) and those still living. The same method was used to explain differences among those currently incarcerated (n = 56). Follow-up interviews were conducted with 32 individuals in a variety of settings including at their homes and in prisons. Findings from the quantitative results show that social bonding theory seems to be a weak explanation scheme among this population. Results from the qualitative data, however, are contrary and show social bonds to be crucial in the desistance process. Like Laub and Sampson's study, marriage and employment were strong predictors of desistance. Individuals interviewed tended to be sober, but disaffiliated with twelve-step meetings.; Other themes from the interviews involve presentation of self, the importance of religion, and a process of aging out of crime. Policy implications from these results focus on the importance of choosing a good life partner, the reduction of alcohol and drug use among abusers, and emphasizing stable employment.

Abstract:
Dubbed the "most murderous" and "deadliest" city in the United States during 2006, 2007 and 2008, New Orleans has wrestled with crime and murder since its founding in 1718. Following Hurricane Katrina the city saw an increase in the murder rate despite a sharp decrease in population. The focus of this project was to map homicide data trends in the city of New Orleans over a period of seven years, 2002 to 2008, and compare spatial and temporal patterns via GIS. NOPD homicide location data were geocoded and analyzed in ESRI's ArcGIS geospatial software. Methodologies of hotspot detection included point maps, choropleth graduated color maps, and quartic kernel density maps. The project's goal was to not only detect hotspots, but to create a synoptic view of shifting homicide trends throughout the city of New Orleans, highlighting the impact of Hurricane Katrina.

Abstract:
The New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA) is widely believed to be the most established cultural institution of its kind in New Orleans. The museum building is an extension of its landscape, designed and established as a gift that has been enjoyed by the city for more than a century. The term of my internship with the Museum coincided with its Centennial Celebration year of 2011. In possession of one of the Gulf South's most prized permanent collections, NOMA has demonstrated its continued sustainability through the longevity of its establishment in addition to its rapid recovery following the Hurricane Katrina disaster. As with many long-established institutions, the years have made their mark on the New Orleans Museum of Art and there are cracks in its foundation. This point is made most clear in terms of a lax adherence to its stated mission and goals, in addition to a weakened bond with its served community. The following report serves as a case study of the Museum; it addresses organizational issues revealed through situational analyses and personal observations. The report concludes with recommendations prescribed for the future success and sustainability of NOMA in the furtherance of its mission.

Following Hurricane Katrina, difficult decisions must be made by both government and investors with respect to reconstitution of New Orleans' housing stock and neighborhoods. For investors, risk and uncertainty abound. For planners, a careful balance between property rights and comprehensive planning is required. The fate of several neighborhoods hangs in the balance. What will it take to recapture the value these neighborhoods once held? Specifically, will the market arrive at a solution or is government intervention called for, and if so at what level? Likewise, what role is warranted for the third sector - nonprofit and community organizations? The thesis argues that private developers and government agencies may be poorly equipped to the task, and formal or informal sub-municipal level organizations may be better positioned to engender successful rebuilding by accommodating and reconciling the interests of individual property owners.

Abstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between water infrastructure, ecological change, and the politics of planning in New Orleans and the Mississippi River Delta, USA. Complex assemblages of water control infrastructure have been embedded in the delta over the last several centuries in an effort to keep its cities protected from floodwaters and maintain its waterways as standardized conduits for maritime transportation. This thesis investigates the historical development of these infrastructural interventions in the delta’s dynamics, and shows how the region’s eco-hydrology is ensnared in the politics and materiality of pipes, pumps, canals, locks, and levees. These historical entanglements complicate contemporary efforts to enact large-scale ecosystem restoration, even while the delta’s landscape is rapidly eroding into the sea. This historical approach is extended into the present through an examination of how waterway standards established at so-called chokepoints in the global maritime transportation system (the Panama Canal, for example) become embedded and contested in coastal landscapes and port cities worldwide. Turning towards urban ecology, the thesis examines socioecological responses to the flooding following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, with a special focus on how infrastructure failures, flooding intensity, and land abandonment are driving changing vegetation patterns in New Orleans over the past decade. The thesis contributes new conceptual language for grappling with the systemic relations bound up in water infrastructure, and develops one of the first studies describing urban ecosystem responses to prolonged flooding and post-disaster land management. This provides insights into the impending planning challenges facing New Orleans and coastal cities globally, where rising sea levels are bringing about renewed attention to how infrastructure is implicated in patterns of ecological change, hazard exposure, resilience, and social inequality.

Research shows that the quality of this care is of high importance in a child's development, both in the short-term and the long-term. States have used a variety of policy tools to regulate child care and to attempt to improve the quality of care. Louisiana has recently implemented a new policy called the Quality Rating System. Directors of centers in Orleans Parish, Louisiana, were interviewed to determine the impact of participation in QRS. Centers are struggling to meet the requirements and feel that changes need to be made for the program to have a better outcome.

Abstract:
This thesis brings forth the regional architecture of New Orleans, Louisiana, and applies it directly towards the reconstruction and reconstitution of the Lafitte Housing Project closed as a result of Hurricane Katrina in late August 2005. The half-mile long Lafitte Housing Project rests just outside the French Quarter in the Sixth Ward. This thesis proposes reopening the canal along Jefferson Davis Parkway and extending it into the French Quarter to the southern edge of Louis Armstrong Park. As many of the former apartments were damaged by flooding from Hurricane Katrina, some units will be demolished to make way for site changes. A problematic condition of the former public housing complex was the way that it stood within the site as a massive homogenous entity, far out of scale to the surrounding urban fabric. The solution to rebuilding the site is not to construct another massive housing community. Rather, this proposal would include restoring many of the existing units, providing a historic anchor to the new neighborhood, and allowing them to remain along with new construction. Earth removed from the canal will stay on the site and be used to construct a half-mile long mound, running most of the length of the projects. This mounded area will feature spaces for recreational activities, Marti Gras celebrations, relaxation, and it will allow bridged access to the second floors of the new buildings. More important than what the mound does, is what it is: a metaphor for rising up from the mud and water and towards an elevated way of living, for inhabitants of the new and old structures. The vehicle for the form and structure of the new dwelling units is the historic Foursquare house. A house that symbolizes aristocracy and well-being, these new units are a refinement of the two bedroom apartments in the existing public housing complex. In this proposal, both will coexist throughout the site.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the environmental and social consequences of maintaining the artificial divide between thinking and feeling, mind and matter, logos and eros. New Orleans, a city where the natural environment and human sensuality are both dominant forces, is used as a case study to explore the implications of our attempts to impose rational controls on nature - both physical and human nature. An analysis of New Orleans leading up to and immediately following Hurricane Katrina (2005) reveals that the root of the trouble in the city is not primarily environmental, technological, political, or sociological, but philosophical: there is something amiss in the relationship between human rationality and the corporeal world. I argue that policy decisions which do not include the contributions of experts from the humanities and qualitative social sciences - persons with expertise on human emotions, intentions, priorities and desires - will continue to be severely compromised.
