New modes of privatized policing under austerity
Urban revanchism today? An introduction
This introductory essay frames discussion and debate in the pages ahead about an important issue in urban studies – the realities of urban revanchism today if we are to understand the complexities of current urban development in the United States and beyond. Are revanchist impulses and processes alive-and-well and still virulent as persistent lurking forces albeit in modified or new forms? If so, what are these forms? And how, it follows, is reva…
Revanchism and therapeutic urbanism
This essay reconceptualizes urban revanchism as a constituting element of the modus operandi and habitus of urban redevelopment. This reconceptualization not only helps transcend the binary distinction between ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ revanchism, which has come to dominate research on revanchist urbanism, but also extends Smith’s attempts to penetrate the underlying motives and hidden logics of gentrification. Drawing on the example of urban redevelopme…
Toward an Optimum Yield
In the late colonial period, fisheries science and colonial development programs converged in blueprints to better exploit marine resources throughout the British empire. Yet, the historiography of science and colonial development has focused predominantly on the management and exploitation of terrestrial resources with only limited investigation of parallel schemes focused on marine and freshwater resources. Centering on the final decades of the…

Making gods real through choral dance
This article investigates the poet Euripides’ work and its effect on theatregoers. It explores the ways contrasting metres and choral dance elements in his Cyclops and Alcestis contributed to a sense of divine presence at the Athenian Dionysia and perhaps in reperformance elsewhere. Gods are ‘supernatural’, inherently invisible and untouchable in normal circumstances, but as the American anthropologist Tanya Luhrmann puts it, worshippers need ‘to…
National Education Policy 2020
India's global education development goal aims to offer equitable, impartial, and inclusive quality education that promotes possibilities for lifelong learning by 2030. In this global context, Ministry of Human Resource Development of Government of India has projected an elaborate and all-encompassing National Education Policy 2020 (NEP2020) in which more importance is given to the higher education and its implementation. As this policy completes…

Condom Failure Among HIV-Negative Men in Serodiscordant Relationships in Australia, Brazil, and Thailand
Condoms continue to be used by many gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) to reduce the risk of HIV transmission. However this is impacted by condom failure events, defined here as condom breakage and slippage. In a prospective, observational cohort study of 343 HIV serodiscordant male couples recruited through high HIV caseload clinics and hospitals between 2012 and 2016 in Australia, Brazil, and Thailand, condom failure rates…

Active afforestation of drained peatlands is not a viable option under the EU Nature Restoration Law
The EU Nature Restoration Law (NRL) is critical for the restoration of degraded ecosystems and active afforestation of degraded peatlands has been suggested as a restoration measure under the NRL. Here, we discuss the current state of scientific evidence on the climate mitigation effects of peatlands under forestry. Afforestation of drained peatlands without restoring their hydrology does not fully restore ecosystem functions. Evidence on long-te…

The Healthy Ageing/Vulnerable Environment (Haven) Index
This study describes the development and testing of the Healthy Ageing/Vulnerable Environment (HAVEN) Index, a prototype composite spatial index for South Australia that reflects an area’s age‐friendliness. The index incorporates over 40 indicator variables across six variable themes: income and employment; education; health and housing; social connectedness; geographic access; and physical environment. Based on the deficit accumulation approach,…
Dracula urbanism and smart cities in style and substance
Dialogues in Urban Research was established to create critical yet constructive conversations about cities and urbanization at a perilous but fascinating historical-geographical conjuncture. In this vein, we thank our four interlocuters, Emma Colven, Renee Tapp, Delik Hudalah, Dallas Rogers, and Christopher Silver, for their provocative comments on our manuscript. There is much food for thought in their ideas. In response to their comments, we in…
Toward a Dracula urbanism
We study two places experiencing the rise of both the real-estate state and smart city building, Jakarta, Indonesia and Flint, USA. Our core thesis: these real-estate states work through and make a kind of urbanism that we term Dracula urbanism. We identify Dracula urbanism as a deep-reaching, human-punishing unfolding that is simultaneously a state of mind, a mode of institutional operation, a vision of people, one gaze onto growth's true needs …
Public health benefits of shifting from hospital-focused to ambulatory TB care in Eastern Europe
High rates of drug-resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) continue to threaten public health, especially in Eastern Europe. Costs for treating DR-TB are substantially higher than treating drug-susceptible TB, and higher yet if DR-TB services are delivered in hospital. The WHO recommends that multidrug-resistant (MDR) TB be treated using mainly ambulatory care, shown to have non-inferior health outcomes, however, there has been a delay to transition away …
HIV and Covid-19
Existential capitalism and gentrification in pandemic times
After a brief lull in gentrification amid the recent massive lockdown and economic stall across the global north, this process's fifth wave again moves rapidly through many cities. We muddy up frequently undertheorized actors in current gentrification, on-the-ground consumers and producers of this restructuring, to complicate radical political economy understandings of this process. Focusing on two growing gentrifier groups in this process's fift…
Metaphor, Materialism, Metropolis
Cities are physical, material concentrations of people and structures, but they are also ongoing conversations of intergenerational negotiation, communication, competition, conflict, and cooperation. Recently, Emma Colven, Renee Tapp, Delik Hudalah, Dallas Rogers, and Christopher Silver have offered valuable critical contributions to this dialogue in urban research, evaluating the utility and limitations of a new metaphor, Dracula Urbanism, for u…

Impacts of Covid-19-related service disruptions on TB incidence and deaths in Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Malawi, Mozambique, and Peru
Initial global-level estimates reported in June 2020 by the World Health Organization suggested that levels of disruption to TB service delivery could be as high as 25%-50% and result in an additional 6·3 million cases of tuberculosis (TB) and an additional 1·4 million TB-related deaths attributable to COVID-19 between 2020 and 2025. Quarterly epidemiological estimates and programmatic TB data capturing disruption levels to each TB service were c…
The global HIV response at 40
It is helpful to divide the global HIV response into three phases: The first, from about 1980 to 2000, represents "Calamity". The second, from roughly 2000 to 2015 represents "Hope." The third, from 2015, is unfolding and may be termed "Choices" - and these choices may be severely constrained by COVID, so "Constrained Choices in an era of COVID" may prove more apt. As we take stock of HIV at 40, there are positive lessons for the wider health res…
The journey to UHC
BACKGROUND: Countries are recommended to progressively work towards universal health coverage (UHC), and to make explicit choices regarding the expansion of priority services. However, there is little guidance on how to manage the inclusion of vertical programmes, funded by external partners, in health benefits packages (HBP) in low and middle-income countries (LMICs). OBJECTIVE: We conducted a scoping review to map the inclusion of six vertical …

Toward A Contingent Urban Neoliberalism
Neoliberal governance has recently come to dominate U.S. and U.K. cities. This discussion explores an important idea that British and American urban geographers now grapple with: contingent urban neoliberalism. Four new understandings about these formations in U.S. and U.K. cities are discussed: they exist in historically and geographically specific forms, they are always complex cultural projects, they are enabled by production and use of space,…
Social Capital and Local Governance
This article argues that Robert Putnam's social capital thesis is too society-centred and undervalues state agency and associated political factors. It explores the role of institutional design in explaining how governments can shape the development of social capital and its potential influence upon democratic performance. New Labour's programme of ‘democratic renewal’ within British local government provides an excellent opportunity to assess th…
Tourism as an Anthropological Subject [and Comments and Reply]
This paper provides a critical evaluationof the growing number of anthropologically oriented studies of tourism and proposes a conceptual framework for future studies. A cross-culturally viable definition of tourism is offered. This definition, which conceives of the tourist as a person at leisure who travels and of tourism as a variety of leisure activity, suggest a transactional view of tourism that involves an encounter between tourist-generat…

Gentrification, Discourse, and the Body
Gentrification today spreads and deepens in US cities. In this paper we examine the progentrification rhetoric and tactics confronted by the second largest Puerto Rican community in the United States, Chicago's Humboldt Park. Three points are documented in this current case. First, real-estate capital and the media now target and script Puerto Rican youth bodies to communicate a new gentrification-sanitizing theme: a disgust for 'ghetto' morals a…
Unravelling Control Freakery
Central-local relations have been of particular interest since the Labour government came to power in 1997. Both academics and practitioners have pointed to tensions within the Labour government's reform agenda—between a ‘top-down’ and ‘bottom-up’ approach; between a drive for national standards and the encouragement of local learning and innovation; and between strengthening executive leadership and enhancing public participation. It is argued t…

Spatiality and Growth Discourse
This article examines the prominent growth discourse that today characterizes Midwest rust belt cities. We extend present work on this topic by investigating how these Midwest coalitions construct their two central themes: an accelerated city competition in new global times and the need for leadership by entrepreneurial-minded developers. Our study of St. Louis, Indianapolis, and Cleveland looks at the key ingredients found in these discourses, a…

Changing Realities
The mania of "go-global" redevelopment is in full bloom in American cities. Under the banner of pursuing global competitiveness, redevelopment governances continue to push the creation of gentrification and downtown upscaling. This study examines Chicago's current redevelopment governance, which faces formidable obstacles (city and regional economic decline; the deepening of anger in poor black communities as poverty intensifies) to achieving its…
Everyday Life, Spatiality and Inner City Disinvestment in a US City
Making historical preservation in Chicago
This article examines an underground but emergent neo‐liberal initiative in US cities, historic preservation. A focus on Chicago's programme highlights this as a complex cultural project. The focus is on how narrativists of this programme use imagined mental spaces in discourse to constitute a programme‐ and neo‐liberal‐supporting cultural content for common consumption. The results suggst that this neo‐liberal programme offers elaborate renditio…
Decline machines and economic development
We develop the concept of decline machines, only recently invoked by urbanists, to understand city economic development in America’s urban rust belt. We chronicle this notion and show that it currently spearheads economic development in one of America’s paradigmatic rust belt cities, Flint, Michigan. We highlight, first, that Flint’s machine actors creatively use imaginaries of decline to propel economic development; and second, that race is one …

Urban Elites in England
Political leadership has become a much more explicit and widespread feature of English urban governance than it was 20 years ago. It has become particularly high profile since the Labour Government came into power in 1997 and sponsored legislation (Local Government Act 2000) which required all English local authorities to replace or modify the existing committee system of decision-making by adopting one of four prescribed options, the thrust of w…
Successful Protect-Community Discourse
Protect-community movements across America are alive and well. The authors examine one such movement in a Chicago working-class neighborhood-Pilsen. They focus on a discourse oppositional to gentrification that has effectively mobilized space and historicity to speak its truths. The results reveal that diverse mental spaces were constructed and used in discourse to offer two critical constructions: positive resident identities, and developers as …
Spatiality and Urban Redevelopment Movements
Spatial aspects of housing abandonment in the 1990s
Housing abandonment continues to ravage US cities, despite a recent waning of scholarly interest in this topic. Our paper revisits this topic by examining recent patterns of housing abandonment in a prototypical rust belt city, Cleveland. We assess the evolving pattern of abandoned units between 1980 and 1990 and its ecological (housing and population) correlates. The results suggest that housing abandonment in Cleveland has spread in a contagiou…
Effects of noise and perceived control on ongoing and subsequent aggressive behavior
Two experiments examined the effects of high-intensity (95 dB [A]) noise on ongoing and postnoise aggressive behavior. In Experiment 1, subjects were angered or treated in a neutral manner and given an opportunity to aggress against another subject while being exposed to high-intensity (95 dB) or low-intensity (55 dB) noise. Results indicated that high-intensity noise facilitated aggression for previously angered individuals. Experiment 2 examine…
What’s the deal with ‘websleuthing’? News media representations of amateur detectives in networked spaces
This article explores websleuthing, a phenomenon widely discussed and debated in popular culture but little-researched by criminologists. Drawing upon a review of existing literature and analysis of news media representations, we argue that websleuthing is much more diverse than previously thought. Encompassing a wide range of motives, manifestations, activities, networked spaces and cases, websleuthing has a variety of impacts upon victims, seco…

The Knowe of Lairo, Rousay, Orkney
Excavations conducted in 1936 resulted in the discovery of a chamber possessing unique features at the east end of the mound, of indications of a northern horn at this end, and in the definition of the revetment wall of the mound and horns along the south side. The chamber is of exceptional height and has three compartments. A polished celt and two pottery sherds were recovered

Leathernecks in North China, 1945
The decisive phase of the Chinese Civil War is said to have begun during the summer of 1946, hardly a year after the Japanese surrender and about six months after General George Marshall went to China to assist the Kuomintang and the communists in negotiating toward a peaceful settlement of their conflict. The failure of the Marshall Mission and the subsequent communist victory is often seen as America’s failure–the failure of liberal democracy t…
American Culture Studies
THERE IS A VAST SLOUGH OF GENIAL IGNORANCE ABOUT AMERICAN STUDIES. Consider the stock questions anyone moving to establish it on any given campus will be asked: has it been around long? what other universities have American Studies? are graduate degrees given? where can a faculty be found? who can know everything about America? is it intellectually sound? shouldn't we really conduct a feasibility study first? As this essay is being written and re…

The Legend of the Pacing White Mustang
T HE legend of the Pacing White Mustang was, as J. Frank Dobie put it, '... the last of the great horse legends of the civilized world.' The American oikotype of the legend took root and grew in a country composed of two radical facts: horses and horsemen. The frontier West was a place where mobility was often the key to survival. Having a horse that could run fast and long occasionally made the difference between keeping one's hair and losing it…

Rutherford
This is the first full-length biography of Ernest Rutherford (1871-1937), the most important experimental physicist of his time, and probably the most ingenious since Faraday. It was Rutherford who discovered the atomic nucleus and who first split an atom.Based in large part on previously inaccessible letters and other papers, the book traces Rutherford's life from his upbringing in the pioneering society of New Zealand to his burial in Westminst…
Institutions and Urban Revitalization
The emergent institutionalist perspective in urban geography has recently been applied to explain neighborhood revitalization in a number of seminal analyses. This research on Chelsea in New York City extends this body of theory by considering how the effect of institutional activity on neighborhood revitalization is itself constrained by the activities of other institutions. The research examines the wide range of institutions whose conflicting …
Urban Revitalization on the Upper West Side of Manhattan
An emergent area of research on urban revitalization has focused on the influence of city managers and institutions. This framework, termed urban managerialism, is utilized to examine the linkages between institutional structure and reinvestment on the Upper West Side in Manhattan between 1970 and 1980. The results of this study suggest that a wide range of local and city-wide institutions played a major role in transforming an ethnically and rac…

Locus of Control and Burnout among Nurses in Zimbabwe
Lefcourt (1981) argued that individuals who believe they lack control over stressful situations may experience greater occupational stress. This premise is supported by modest correlations between external locus of control scores and teachers' stress in societies as diverse as Britain (Kyriacou & Sutcliffe, 1979) and Singapore (Soh, 1986). The present study examined the relationship between locus-of-control scores and the specific stress conditio…
Local State Dynamics and Gentrification in Indianapolis, Indiana
This article seeks to demonstrate that the creation of the rent-gap is not the only important variable which structures patterns of neighborhood gentrification in North American cities. A case study of Indianapolis, Indiana, between 1980 and 1986 illustrates the influence of the local state as an alternative variable. Its influence, directed toward the aim of transforming the downtown area for more affluent users, was twofold. First, government r…
