Abstract:
At the 2018 meeting of the Permanent European Conference for the Study of the Rural Landscape (PECSRL), that took place in Clermont-Ferrand and Mende in France, the Institute for Research on European Agricultural Landscapes e.V. (EUCALAND) Network organized a session on traditional landscapes. Presentations included in the session discussed the concept of traditional, mostly agricultural, landscapes, their ambiguous nature and connections to contemporary landscape research and practice. Particular attention was given to the connection between traditional landscapes and regional identity, landscape transformation, landscape management, and heritage. A prominent position in the discussions was occupied by the question about the future of traditional or historical landscapes and their potential to trigger regional development. Traditional landscapes are often believed to be rather stable and slowly developing, of premodern origin, and showing unique examples of historical continuity of local landscape forms as well as practices. Although every country has its own traditional landscapes, globally seen, they are considered as being rare; at least in Europe, also as a consequence of uniforming CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) policies over the last five decades. Although such a notion of traditional landscapes may be criticized from different perspectives, the growing number of bottom-up led awareness-raising campaigns and the renaissance of traditional festivities and activities underline that the idea of traditional landscapes still contributes to the formation of present identities. The strongest argument of the growing sector of self-marketing and the increasing demand for high value, regional food is the connection to the land itself: while particular regions and communities are promoting their products and heritages. In this sense, traditional landscapes may be viewed as constructed or invented, their present recognition being a result of particular perceptions and interpretations of local environments and their pasts. Nevertheless, traditional landscapes thus also serve as a facilitator of particular social, cultural, economic, and political intentions and debates. Reflecting on the session content, four aspects should be emphasized. The need for: dynamic landscape histories; participatory approach to landscape management; socioeconomically and ecologically self-sustaining landscapes; planners as intermediaries between development and preservation.

Abstract:
Recent scholarship in the history of American art has uncovered the deep social, political, and economic context within which specific inividuals invented highly charged (and frequently contested) visions of the American landscape. Drawing attention away from the naturalizing tendency of criticism that emphasizes landscape painting as a reflection of national and transcendental ideals, this kind of analysis has brought new richness to the study of landscapes, weaving political and social history into the criticism of American art. Charting paintings as they function within the constellations of patronage, intellectual history, and reception, these new histories help us understand the cultural work of landscape in the 19th-century United States.

Abstract:
Many disciplines in the arts and social sciences are currently redirecting their attention to surfaces, and ways of treating them, as primary conditions for the generation of meaning. With regard to visual perception, this has entailed a switch from its optical to its haptic modality. How does this switch affect the way surfaces are understood? It is argued that with haptic vision, the emphasis is not on conformation but texture, as revealed in flows of material composition and in patterns of self-shadowing – or in a word, in complexion. This makes the surface, whether of face, skin or landscape, quite distinct from that of a body or an object. Drawing on the ideas of John Ruskin, the haptically perceived surface is compared to a veil that is worn in the double sense of adornment and erosion, of affective expression and weathering. The article concludes that it is in the relations between such surfaces that social life is lived.

Abstract:
Companies have begun to use Information Technology (IT) to fulfill the demands of technology and business development as IT has progressed in terms of data processing and distribution. The largest electrical equipment export-import firm in Indonesia is one of the enterprises that uses information technology. The current business processes have not widely implemented strategic Information Technology/Information Systems (IT/IS) and integrated systems with each other. Enterprise Architecture Landscape is also needed for the application of information technology and information systems. The goal of this research is to develop an enterprise architectural landscape utilizing the Zachman framework in conjunction with the Ward and Peppard framework. The research method used involved literature studies, data collection, internal business analysis using Value Chain and Critical Success Factor (CSF), external business analysis using Political, Economic, Social, and Technological (PEST) and the Five Force Model, resulting in IT/IS. The strategy used in the mapping of enterprise architecture and IT portfolio proposals is McFarlan Strategic Grid. The research yielded an enterprise architectural landscape based on the Zachman framework, which has been translated into its appropriate lines and comprises of business-oriented (considerations, visions, outlines) and information technology (IT) focused components (standards, landscapes, designs). These results can help electric trading firms create and deploy information technology and information systems that will help them accomplish their vision and purpose.

Abstract:
The author draws on the distinctions between representations of space and spaces of representation contained in Lefebvre's Production of Space, and examines the postwar modernisation of Glasgow. In the first part of the paper he considers the images of the city presented in the city's two postwar master plans; one drawn up by central government, the other by local government. These two very different representations of the space of Glasgow as a modern city sparked off a political struggle over the making of the built environment which has left its imprint on the city's contemporary urban landscape. In the second part of the paper he uses the work of several Glasgow poets to illuminate the consequences of the modernisation process for the lived spaces of the city—the spaces of representation. The poets' reading of the modern city vividly illustrates the effects of the colonisation of concrete space by the abstract spaces of the master plans. Weaving together these two different, but closely related, discourses about the city—planning and poetry—he provides a specific example of the significance of Lefebvre's conceptual framework for making sense of the urban landscape of the modern city.

Abstract:
In less than twenty-five years, Los Angeles and other southern California urban centers evolved from culturally sterile communities into vibrant art centers. That remarkable transformation resulted from a combination of social, economic, and political changes that drew residents to landscape paintings. They enjoyed widespread popularity because residents invested them with meanings that transcended art. They became icons of identity, bolstered visions of an unspoiled suburban Eden, and helped southern California's white middle-class to cope with the mounting stress of modern urban life.

Abstract:
This article provides an introduction to the special thematic section on political mobilization in East Central Europe. Based on a brief presentation of the main arguments of the individual articles, the authors discuss the recent political volatility in East Central Europe. They highlight the tension between fierce political rhetoric and populist policies on the one hand, and low levels of voter turnout and overall political participation in the region on the other. The authors argue that recent cases of successful as well as unsuccessful political mobilization in East Central Europe point to structural re-alignments in the region's political landscape. In particular, the parties that are successful are those that manage to communicate their visions in new ways and whose messages resonate with nested attitudes and preferences of the electorate. These parties typically rally against the so-called establishment and claim for themselves an anti-hegemonic agenda. The introductory essay also asserts that these developments in East Central Europe deserve attention for their potential Europe-wide repercussions – especially the idea of “illiberal democracy,”which combines populist mobilization and autocratic demobilization and finds adherents also in more established European democracies.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis consists in a discussion of ethnographic sources gathered during fieldwork in Nan Province- Northern Thailand- in 2008 and 2009. The analysis operates at least on three interplaying levels. Firstly, drawing from theoretical suggestions coming from E.Goffman, G.Debord, C.Geertz, J.Scott and other authors, I emphasize the usefulness of the theatre-spectacle metaphor for the study of developmental and environmental social dynamics, as it allows to describe the institutionalization of a moral and aesthetic discourse of social responsibility and helps to explain frictions and contradictions happening in the backstage of the environmental spectacle at local, national and international scale. Secondly, I show how the articulation of environmental and landscape imaginaries, narratives and projections encourages forms of territorialization and counter-territorialization which are not reducible to a simplistic opposition between hegemonic and subaltern subjects and which need to be explored looking for cases that contradict this theoretical dichotomy through the description of situational subjective agencies. Thirdly, I enlighten a path along which the ideas of subalternity and hegemony are crucial not for the fact that they enclose specific and stable subjectivities, but for the reason that competition within and combination of hegemonic and subaltern social capitals in the environmental arena are sources of institutional stabilization in a country that is often in political trouble. The selective and discrete analysis of different stakeholders involved in this arena,reflected in the titling and succession of five chapters leads to understand how, similarly to what happens in the Luigi Pirandello’s drama I sei personaggi in cerca di autore (Engl.trans. Six characters looking for an author) I found out that subaltern subjects, and especially non T’ai and non-Buddhist ethnic minorities that used to be part of the communist guerrilla (1965-1983), in recent years tend to act like characters looking for an author who is capable of legitimizing their presence on the environmental stage; in this scenario, egemonic authors themselves (environmental institutional agencies) may behave as actors looking for other, superior sources of authority (Buddhist religion, the King, the media, the UN agencies...). Only if 'masked' as Khon M'uang they become able to act in the environmental spectacle as authorized subjects. Environmental populism works as a territorializing force and enact symbolic dispositives that indirectly tend to rewrite (and sometimes to cancel) upland environmental culture by the means of correcting its landscape.

Abstract:
The Perspectives/Visions/Actions framework is designed to facilitate deeper understanding of issues and broader inclusion of publics in landscape decision-making conversations. A parallel analysis of landscape and policy theory was used to constructed the framework. Common terminology and visual expression of spatial/temporal aspects of landscape are viewed through the interactive segments of Perspectives, Visions, and Actions. Perspectives described through landscape/human relationships and intuitive images of landscape provide insight into various viewpoints. Visions, visual landscape features described in landscape ecology terminology, provide a base for development of potential scenarios. Actions, Tools and Rules, relate viewpoints and scenarios to a range of choices for implementing change. Document content analysis, open-ended interviews, and systematic establishment of a transect baseline from aerial photographs were used to historically analyze three shoreline landscapes (Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Cape Cod and Point Reyes National Seashores) through framework language and schematic. Landscape information, viewpoints, and choices within the case study landscapes were uniquely illustrated. Perspectives groupings of intuitive images indicated ovelapping viewpoints and set an inclusive base for landscape information types. Visions landscape ecology language used both to construct the schematic and to translate information into comron expressions provided a base for issue discussion. Actions tools and rules data provided examples of implementation choices which related to the Perspectives and Visions.

Full text
Abstract:
Sectarianism has shaped Lebanese culture since the establishment of the National Pact in 1943, and continues to be a pervasive roadblock to Lebanon’s path to development. This thesis explores the role of religion, politics, and Lebanon’s illegitimate government institutions in accentuating identity-based divisions, and fostering an environment for sectarianism to emerge. In order to do this, I begin by providing an analysis of Lebanon’s history and the rise and fall of major religious confessions as a means to explore the relationship between power-sharing arrangements and sectarianism, and to portray that sectarian identities are subject to change based on shifting power dynamics and political reforms. Next, I present different contexts in which sectarianism has amplified the country’s underdevelopment and fostered an environment for political instability, foreign and domestic intervention, lack of government accountability, and clientelism, among other factors, to occur. A case study into Iraq is then utilized to showcase the implications of implementing a Lebanese-style power-sharing arrangement elsewhere, and further evaluate its impact in constructing sectarian identities. Finally, I conclude that it is possible to eliminate sectarianism in Lebanon and move towards a secular state. While there are still many challenges to face in overcoming a long-established system of governance, I highlight the anti-sectarian partisan movements that are advocating for change, and their optimistic path to success.

Full text
Abstract:
To cross the landscape of places such as Cyprus is to pick your way across the tangible marks of the island's traumatic past. Checkpoints and roadblocks, dead-ends and Dead Zones constitute integral features of its topography, speaking of its predicament as a place of ethnic conflict. The Possibility of an Island: Visions of Landscape in Contemporary Art in Cyprus is a research project on the Cypriot landscape and its visual culture; its politics and poetics. It focuses on the way the Cypriot landscape's complex actuality and symbolic resonance emerges as subject in the work of visual artists making work about Cyprus. In so doing, it centres on and frequently returns to a set of critical questions: How does the landscape's physical dissection-with checkpoints, a partition line, and a Dead Zone- inform the work of visual artists in the present? How do they choose to represent it and towards what means? In what ways do their artistic considerations shape, alter, or unsettle conceptions and/or experiences of real (and imagined) landscapes and, most crucially, of our sense of identity and belonging? In navigating through these questions, I put forward the hypothesis that the artists' turn to landscape and its representation relates to their various positionings within and against the debates concerning narratives of history, ethnic origin, and identity in Cyprus. Hence, in their works we are invited to experience evocative visions of landscape as topos (as in landscape as a place of belonging). Yet, the perspectives that artists employ when doing so come to challenge and sometimes transgress stereotypical conceptions of what it means to belong, setting prevalent notions of identity in doubt as well as those oppressive conditions that sustain and encourage discord, antagonism, and division. To support such a contention, the folds within conceptions of landscape and ideas relating to identity and place, history and memory figure prominently in the discussion, as do questions over representation and its reception in critical evaluations. In fact, the way contemporary artistic renderings of landscape as topos converse with or challenge dominant conceptions of belonging and narratives of history forms a central part of the analysis in this thesis. It is a discussion carried out with the intention of interrogating the kind of expectations exercised on artists in contexts of ethnic antagonism. It is for this reason that my interest lies in those artists whose interventionist perspective could serve as a model for the way art can be at once inspiring, thought-provoking, and challenging, even when dealing with a well-worn and, in many respects, traditional subject like landscape. These artists work across a variety of media and include Marianna Christofides, Haris Epaminonda, Mustafa Hulusi, Stelios Kallinikou, Nurtane Karagil, Maria Loizidou, Erhan Öze, Socratis Socratous, and the artist group Neoterismoi Toumazou. In seeking to look into the longer histories of the issues debated, the discussion centres as well on the work of artists Cevdet Çağdaş, Adamantios Diamantis and Ιsmet Vehit Güney. As it is argued throughout this thesis, whatever the generational period they belong to or means through which these artists choose to negotiate their ideas, their work offers different perspectives on the folds within landscape, culture, and identity at the same time that it invites reflection over how we can reconsider the possibility of an island as the topos of who we are.

Abstract:
This paper grows out of my ongoing practice of photographing the Darling River in western NSW. My interest in imaging the landscape and representing the contemporary divisions within it led me to investigate previous colonial conflicts, which occurred as white explorers in the 1830’s and squatters in the 1850’s took over the Aboriginal tribal lands on the Darling. In this paper I investigate the images created by explorers, artists and photographers, which were the beginnings of a Eurocentric vision for this land. These images were created in the context of a colonial history which forms the ideological backdrop to historical events and representations of this land. This research has involved me in an investigation across three different disciplines; Australian history, Australian visual art, and environmental aspects of human interactions with the land. The postcolonial histories which inform my work are themselves re-evaluations of earlier histories. This recent history has revealed, amid the images of European ‘settlement’ and ‘progress’, views of frontier violence and Aboriginal resistance to colonisation that were excluded from earlier histories. The fan-like shape of the Darling River, which for millennia has bought water to this dry land, is the motif that focuses my investigation. I discuss the relatively recent degradation of the river, which is the focus of contemporary conflicts between graziers, Aboriginal people, environmentalists and irrigators. Because large-scale irrigation now has the capacity to divert the flows of entire rivers for the irrigation of cash crops, the insecurities of earlier generations over the ‘unpredictable’ floods and their perception of lack of control over water - has been entirely reversed. ‘Control’ of water is now held by irrigators and the river down stream from the pumps is kept at a constant low, becoming a chain of stagnant waterholes during summer. Like many rivers in industrialised countries, the Darling no longer flows to its ocean. The physical characteristics of rangeland grazing are an important background to my paper. Although the introduction of sheep and cattle has altered and degraded this landscape, unlike ploughed country to the east this land retains much of its native vegetation and an Aboriginal history embedded across its surface. This paper is an investigation of the changing representations of the Australian landscape, and central to my paper (and a result of growing up in this area) is my recognition, at an early age, of cultural difference in the context of this landscape. I became aware of contradictions in how Aboriginal people were treated by the ‘white’ community and I glimpsed the distinct cultural viewpoints held by Aboriginal people. A connection to country continues to be expressed in art produced by Aboriginal people in the Wilcannia area, including work by Badger Bates and Waddy Harris. The Wilcannia Mob, a schoolboy rap-group received national press coverage, winning a Deadly Award in 2002 for their acclaimed song ‘Down River’. While a discussion of these artworks is not part of the discussion of my paper, it is a context for my research. In broad terms this paper is an investigation of different worldviews, different views of land and landscape by graziers, Aboriginal people, environmentalists and irrigators. These views carry with them different cultural understandings and different representations of the land - different and sometimes opposing views of its past and its future. It seems in 2005 that, just as artists, historians, filmmakers, etc. are beginning to come to terms with Australian colonial history, as the El Nino seasons and the importance of ‘environmental flows’ in the Murray Darling Basin are increasingly understood, that technological changes and the global effects of population densities are creating other changes (greenhouse gasses, ozone depletion, climate changes) that once again appear to be unpredictable and beyond our control. While this environmental discussion is outside the scope of the current paper it is a context for my investigation of this landscape.

In the decades after World War II-a period that saw the accelerated transformation of Britain's countryside into a modem industrial landscape-the visual appearance of the country was placed at the center of debates about identity, progress, and heritage. Among a vocal and interested public, the proliferating power stations, power transmission lines, open-pit mines, dams, motorways, and oil-related facilities were often felt as threats to the national past, to cultural values, and to the very idea of what it meant to be British. Amidst this political complexity, the computer-generated diagram, with its underlying mathematical structure, may seem an unlikely vehicle for settling planning disputes about Britain's countryside. My study reveals how landscape practitioners, hired by industrial developers, began to exploit the general characteristics of mainframe computers (speed, accuracy, replicability, and economy) to define new ways of representing and measuring visual phenomena, and of comparing alternative visions of the country, using quantitative "facts." The result was a digital technology-seeing systems-that enumerated and quantified rather than depicted visual landscape, a new technology that profoundly transformed not only visualization and representation practices, but that also ensured continued industrial expansion.

Abstract:
The article focuses on the analysis of the fair, which is a reflection of the image of society, its material and spiritual values. The market, which in the Middle Ages attributed to its role as a commercial market an arena of social, political and cultural life as well, becomes a significant space in the dramaturgy of some films. We will research, in particular, the role and functions of the fair in films inspired from Ion Creanga’s works, starting with Amintiri din copilărie/ Childhood Memories (1965) and Mama/Mother (1976) – both directed by Elisabeta Bostan, Povestea dragostei/The Love Story (1977) and Rămășagul/The Wager (1984) directed by Ion Popescu-Gopo and ending with the film Dănilă Prepeleac (1998) in the vision of Tudor Tătaru. The fair with its full spectrum of elements becomes a phenomenon specific to our Romanian space, which identifies with a mundi axis of the world. All the more so in the film, the fair is assigned determining functions in its dramaturgical structure: the drama of the plot is woven, which provokes the characters to new actions; an identity landscape of space and time is prefigured.

Abstract:
The geopolitical dimension of the Eurasian space involves the creating process of various architectural models of its world order based on different algorithms of behavior. The most figurative representation of this geopolitical geometry is presented by cosmological models describing not just the alignment of forces in the international scene, but also the motives and purposes of leading players’ behavior and the role of obvious and clear outsiders in this process. These constructions are based on different perceptions and understandings of national interests and values of specific political elites and their leaders, who create a vision of the future by means of this strategic planning. In geopolitics, visions of the future are doctrinal, declarative and embellishing in nature and they are also programmatic concepts of political elites and their leaders striving to express themselves outside their national state. These visions sometimes are mythological in nature, out of synch with reality and resemble utopian social projects. There is more destructive than constructive in such projects. It is crucial to quickly separate the myth (utopia) from reality for modeling geopolitical cosmology, to give a fact-based analysis of current trends, and not to go into the world of endless political fantasies. There are dozens of failed constructions for one successful project. The geopolitical cosmology of the Greater Eurasian Space is no exception here.

Abstract:
It is no secret to anyone that the political system in Iraq has gone through and is still going through several crises and suffers from many problems that are difficult to limit and define within a specific research scope. Despite that, there are two main trends prevailing about the general view of the political system and its future in Iraq, which are centered on two visions: First: Seeing the possibility of reforming the political system Second: seeing the impossibility of reforming the political system and the political system must be changed) This was accompanied by developments; And repercussions that affected the entire structural system of Iraqi society, but all attempts at reform failed. Hence, the problematic of our study emerges in the main question: Does the Iraqi political system need change or reform, and what are the justifications for this change or reform, and what are the consequences of that locally? Regionally and internationally? The attempt to answer these and other questions requires that we start from the hypothesis of the Iraqi political system after 2003, which suffers from several structural problems that prevent the success of any attempt at political reform for it. The study is based on the following axes: The first topic: What is political reform and political change The second topic: Building the political system in Iraq after 2003 and the justifications for changing its reform The third topic: Obstacles to changing (reform) the Iraqi political system The fourth topic: Attempts to political reform and its future The study concluded a set of conclusions, perhaps the most prominent of which are: 1 - The future of the Iraqi political system in light of local, regional and international data indicates the impossibility of reforming this system due to the depth of its imbalances Its exacerbation and the depth of the rift that this system suffers from - and the absence of the means to reform, which center on the following options: A- Reform through coup methods B- Reform through popular revolution and that these options are not available at the present time, so it is expected that the current situation will continue with attempts A patchwork that gives the regime revival doses without radical solutions until reaching the framework of the Iraqi social contract, which will have two main options: the peaceful option and revolves around: The continuation of the October protests and the joining of the rest of the Iraqi components to them and their obtaining international and regional support to reformulate a new Iraqi social contract for the unity and stability of Iraq, the peaceful division between the Iraqi components to establish three Sunni Shiite states. Kurdish non-peaceful option external change such as the 2003 military coup, the international upheaval, the civil war

Abstract:
Architecture since the beginning of time have been developed and shaped according to many aspects such as environmental factors, material availability, construction knowledge, religion, economy, and political decisions. In the current century, with the globalized building materials and increased awareness in architecture construction methods, architecture has hundreds of different ways to be constructed and developed. On the other hand, architecture is being formed and affected mainly due to economic factors, and political decisions. Bekaa Valley, a region in Lebanon could be a spectacular political event. The former is a region famous for its agricultural lands formed by million years of sediment clustering from rich Lebanese mountains bounding the area from the east and the west. In the specific eastern area of ​​Beka'a valley studied - Nabisheith to Douris- is full of farming lands, used by locals and nomads to grow variables of vegetables, fruits, and wheat. A political decision developed by the local minister, to build houses by underdeveloped permits, changed the typology of a landscape created more than 2500 years ago. The architectural typology also changed to the new kind of architecture, which is indifferent to the local knowledge of construction learned and developed by locals. Local knowledge developed and adapted to harshness of weather by local materials replaced by globalized materials and abrupt political decisions.

Abstract:
This paper presents the work done during a Vertical Design studio, held at the Department of Architecture and Design in Beirut, and discusses the studio design methods that evoke experimental model making and narrative programming. The work presented develops on themes of locality, landscapes as systems of reference for design, physical constructs as inherent design machines, and fictional narratives as programming devices. Through the use of complex drawings and dynamic models, the studio intervened on the region of Cappadocia in Turkey, with its complex land formations, proposing new visions for a unique site where architecture and landscape coalesce.

Full text
Abstract:
In the Gaza Strip, 80% of the population receives humanitarian assistance. The level of need is overwhelming, and the political and socio-economic context has crippled the traditional social protection system. Efforts to build a stronger social protection system are under way, and cash interventions are on the rise. This report explores the humanitarian cash assistance landscape in the Gaza Strip and how it interacts with social protection. It sets out a vision for a social protection architecture that supports coherence, protection, accountability and the building of resilient systems, and achieves complementarity between actors and programmes. The report also provides recommendations on how the implementation of programmes can be improved.

Abstract:
This brief distils best data practice recommendations through consideration of key issues involved in the use of technology for surveillance, fact-checking and coordinated control during crisis or emergency response in resource constrained urban contexts. We draw lessons from how data enabled technologies were used in urban COVID-19 response, as well as how standard implementation procedures were affected by the pandemic. Disease control is a long-standing consideration in building smart city architecture, while humanitarian actions are increasingly digitised. However, there are competing city visions being employed in COVID-19 response. This is symptomatic of a broader range of tech-based responses in other humanitarian contexts. These visions range from aspirations for technology driven, centralised and surveillance oriented urban regimes, to ‘frugal innovations’ by firms, consumers and city governments. Data ecosystems are not immune from gendered- and socio-political discrimination, and technology-based interventions can worsen existing inequalities, particularly in emergencies. Technology driven public health (PH) interventions thus raise concerns about 1) what types of technologies are appropriate, 2) whether they produce inclusive outcomes for economically and socially disadvantaged urban residents and 3) the balance between surveillance and control on one hand, and privacy and citizen autonomy on the other.
