Composing Lusophonia: Multiculturalism and National Identity in Lisbon’s 1998 Musical Scene
Following Portugal’s post-1974 transition to democracy and entry into the European Union in 1986, state reformulations of national identity increasingly stressed Portugal’s expertise in multicultural, especially international, affairs. By the 1990s, almost all discourses of national culture, history, and identity asserted Portuguese people’s historic facility in promoting dialogue and communication among the world’s cultures and nations and empha…
Remembering Vasco da Gama: Contested histories and the cultural politics of contemporary nation-building in Lisbon, Portugal
The quincentennial year of Vasco da Gama's arrival in India, 1998, was pivotal in new efforts to reimagine and represent Portuguese national identity, as Lisbon hosted the country's first international exposition, Expo '98. The iconography of Da Gama and the golden age of the Portuguese maritime "Discoveries" permeated new urban development and official cultural events at the fair, calling attention to the relevance of Portugal's past to its pres…

Introduction: New Directions in Contemporary Urban Development
LATE-20TH-CENTURY GLOBAL ECONOMIC RESTRUCTURING, and emerging conditions of postindustrialism and postmodernity in the advanced capitalist world, present new challenges and opportunities for urban anthropology. Recently evolving urban forms and arrangements offer arenas for gaining new perspective on many enduring issues in the anthropology of complex societies, particularly those centering on the relations between cities and their broader metrop…
Waterfront Revitalization in Postindustrial Port Cities of North America
SURPRISINGLY SIMILAR DEVELOPMENTS in planning, land use, and cultural life are evident in 'revitalized' waterfronts in many port cities throughout North America. This article presents a cultural theory of waterfront redevelopment, viewing the process as a characteristic response of similarly situated postindustrial port cities to international economic restructuring, technological obsolescence of port facilities, and corporatization. Major themes…

Urban GentrificationIdeology And Practice in Middle-Class Civic Activity
Middle-Class Professionals Who Gentrified a New York City neighborhood during the 1960s and 1970s possessed a coherent vision of community improvement that guided their civic activity. Drawing on many long-standing Western ant urban notions, their vision centered on themes of renewal, cleansing, and purification of a fundamentally disordered and polluted city, and guided their actions in four main areas: (1) opposition to commercial and industria…

Classmates as Workmates: Informal Peer Activity In the Elementary School1
Drawing on case study data from an American urban school, this paper examines the elementary school classroom as a setting for children's learning of culturally appropriate modes of informal work group behavior. Rather than representing an intrusive, disfunctional element in schoolroom social organization, pupil peer activity is strongly conditioned, in form and function, by the classroom situational context and by school-sponsored norms for peer…
