| description | This book examines design proposals that show symbolic handling of the 9/11 attack on New York, the disaster symbolism of the ship washed ashore by the tsunami in Banda Aceh, and the design of the symbol of the city of Cape Town derived from a remnant of Dutch colonial architecture, or the mass pilgrimage to Elvis’s Graceland in Memphis. Cities Full of Symbols develops urban symbolic ecology and hypercity approaches into a new perspective on social cohesion. Approaches of architects, anthropologists, sociologists, social geographers and historians converge to make this a book for anyone interested in urban life, policymaking and city branding. |

Overal in steden zijn de betekenisvolle symbolen te vinden die samen de stadscultuur vormen. In de bundel Cities Full of Symbols, worden voorbeelden van Jakarta tot Leiden en van Buenos Aires tot New York gebruikt, en wordt aan de hand van de ‘urban symbolism theory’ ingezoomd op symbolen zoals stadslayout, standbeelden, straatnamen en de heersende populaire cultuur. Dit boek onderzoekt de symboliek die ten grondslag ligt aan de bouwplannen na de aanslagen op 11 september in New York, de betekenis van het tijdens de tsunami aangespoelde schip in Banda Atjeh, het stadslogo van Kaapstad dat is afgeleid van Nederlandse koloniale architectuur, en de massale pelgrimage naar Elvis’ Graceland in Memphis. In Cities Full of Symbols wordt door middel van stedelijke symbolische ecologie en hypercity benaderingen een nieuw perspectief ontwikkeld over sociale cohesie. Deze bundel verenigt benaderingen van architecten, antropologen, sociologen, sociaal geografen en historici. Dit is een boek voor iedereen met interesse in het stadsleven, beleidsvorming en stadsmarketing. 2021-02-10T12:58:18Z 2016-12-31 23:55:55 2018-06-26 00:00:00 2020-04-01T14:18:05Z 2011 book 606237 OCN: 781378101 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/32745 9789087281250 https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/27755 eng open access image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg image/jpeg n/a n/a n/a n/a n/a https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32745/1/606237.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32745/1/606237.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32745/1/606237.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32745/1/606237.pdf https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/32745/1/606237.pdf Leiden University Press 10.5117/9789087281250 10.5117/9789087281250 1dcb980a-389c-4b15-9b4f-13019f12dd19 9789087281250 OAPEN-NL 304 Leiden open access |
