A Deleuzian reading of Hartshorne’s traditional concept of areal differentiation
Areal differentiation is one of the critical and traditional concepts in geographical studies, reconsidered through the philosophy of Deleuze in the present article. It has been argued that geographical areas should be conceptualised as virtual entities whose source of differentiation rises from their internal force. The paper argues that geographers have access to the virtual entities only in the public words and ideas, tending to naturalise one…
A Home is for Ever? Residential Mobility and Homeownership in Self-Help Settlements
Self-help housing is clearly an 'architecture that works'. Owner-occupation is also a highly desired tenure among the Third World urban poor. Governments in most poor countries are encouraging self-help ownership. But what do poor households actually gain through ownership? Unlike the housing of the better off, consolidated self-help housing is seldom sold. If there is a limited market for this kind of property, capital appreciation must be limit…
Research Policy and Review 15. From Little Englanders into Big Englanders
In the geographical and planning literature there is a rather limited view of what is relevant. On the whole, the study of our own country is deemed to be highly relevant, that of other developed countries is sometimes relevant, whereas the study of poorer societies is seen generally to be irrelevant. Recent shifts towards a world-economy perspective have helped to reorientate our sights beyond the Straits of Dover, but have tended to concentrate…
Attitudes of Black and of White College Students Toward Student Personnel Services
The black American college student of the sixties may be regarded as one of the most militant in the history of higher education. Lyons1 points out that this militancy has led to change in the nature of the institutions of higher learning. He noted increases in the development of Afro-American cultural centers and black student organizations on predominantly white student populated campuses. Jones2 found that black students who attended predomina…
Evaluation of Occupational Choices in the Marine Corps
The purpose of this study was to determine the occupational preferences of Marine recruits with regard to occupational fields other than those in aviation. The Marine Assignment Preference Schedule (MAPS), 28 military occupational fields, was administered in May 1972 to approximately 850 Marine recruits at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot, Parris Island, who were in their third week of basic training. Analysis showed that the five most preferred mi…
Replication of a Study of Differential Predictability
The concept “differential predictability” refers to the idea that people may vary in the extent to which their behavior is predictable by some predictor measure. A previous study showed that freshman engineering grades of students classified as “noncompulsive” were more predictable by Strong Vocational Interest Blank scores than were the grades of “compulsive” students. Two rough indicators of compulsiveness were used: (1) tendency to resemble ac…
