Ten years of screen time among medical students in Dresden, Germany: Unveiling the trends
Material communities: Urban reuse centres and community-oriented circularity in the building sector
This paper investigates ‘urban reuse centres,’ nonprofit entities promoting sustainable practices in Construction, Renovation, and Demolition (CRD). Across North American cities, these centres address challenges from shifting local policies on demolition and landfill and increasingly serve as hubs for social and environmental initiatives, including the Circular Economy (CE). Despite their importance, academic scrutiny is lacking. This study criti…
After the light: The reuse and replica of Canada's historic lighthouses
Lighthouses are enduring symbols of maritime heritage, representing the history and identity of coastal communities. Over the last few decades, however, these structures have been increasingly decommissioned and divested especially in response to the rise of navigational technologies and costly maintenance. Remarkably little academic scrutiny has been paid to the present and future challenges of these sites, and even less attention has been given…
Borrowing Spaces: The Geographies of ‘Libraries of Things’ in the Canadian Sharing Economy
Over the last decade, the sharing economy has resulted in numerous innovative sharing and borrowing practices, many of which have the potential to radically transform communities and societies. One such innovation is the Library of Things (LoT), a non‐profit sharing space modelled on traditional library systems, which enables users to borrow a diverse range of equipment, tools and goods. This paper contributes to the emerging literature and resea…
Perú: El Bicentenario Fallido
Esta es una contribución al debate sobre la independencia del Perú a partir de la modesta celebración de su bicentenario en 2021. Es una mirada crítica a la revisión histórica ocurrida en los últimos 30 años y sus intentos de recuperación de las visiones tradicionales sobre la independencia, en auge hasta la década de los años setenta. A contrapelo, señalo el poco impacto de la independencia en la transformación del legado colonial y el fracaso d…
Remaking the obsolete: Critical geographies of contemporary adaptive reuse
Adaptive reuse, the repurposing of buildings for new uses, is an age-old practice designed to reimagine, remake and revitalize local economies, cities and communities. In more recent decades, reuse has become part of a systematic process of contemporary city building and a globalized practice of placemaking. As such adaptive reuse is much more that a technical or practical application but is rather a complex process that engages with and transfor…
Unbuilding the city: Deconstruction and the circular economy in Vancouver
Globally, the construction, renovation, and demolition sectors are increasingly responsible for growing resource demand and structural waste, even given progress in energy efficient technologies, 'green' building design, and local planning regulations. In response, the Circular Economy has become a popular agenda in the construction, renovation, and demolition sector as it offers a new model that not only maximizes materials reuse and recovery bu…
Adaptations on the edge: Post-secular placemaking and the adaptive reuse of worship spaces in Newfoundland
The closure and reuse of worship spaces is a growing global phenomenon. In recent decades, societal, demographic, financial and other pressures have led to the shuttering of vast numbers of worship spaces throughout North America, Europe and parts of Asia. While most research focuses on the reuse of worship spaces in large cities, across Canada there exists countless small cities and rural settlements that are contending with closure and finding …
La universidad y el poder en el Perú: Los Últimos Cien Años
Este artículo trata del contrapunto entre la universidad y el poder en el Perú en los últimos cien años. Este asunto: la disputa de poder, en el mejor y el peor sentido de la palabra, es lo que va a determinar el decurso de esta relación. La universidad, en especial la universidad pública, tratando de ser un factor de democratización del país y el poder estatal, con actitudes cambiantes: la represión, el abandono, la privatización; buscando domes…

La derecha peruana de encomenderos a neoliberales, pero siempre encomenderos
Este artículo plantea el origen y desarrollo de la derecha peruana como una derecha neoliberal en el período 1990-2020. El argumento busca las raíces de esta expresión política en la historia peruana y en la comparación con derechas anteriores. En el período de estudio y en un primer momento con el fujimorismo, esta es una derecha autoritaria. En uno segundo, una derecha que mantiene la continuidad del modelo, pero transita a la democracia. Se tr…
Demócratas, mediocres y técnicos. Las tensiones del futuro universitario en el Perú
Este artículo trata de la relación entre el abandono estatal, la mediocridad, la razón democrática y la razón tecnocrática en la universidad peruana en el último siglo. La secuencia se plantea como la lógica y el conflicto entre distintos discursos que buscan darle un rumbo a la institución universitaria en el proceso de reforma de la misma que empieza con la impronta del movimiento universitario de Córdoba en 1918 y no termina hasta el presente.…
Gaming on the edge: Mobile labour and global talent in Atlantic Canada's video game industry
Diminishing returns and advances in telecommunications have prompted large video game firms to seek new locations, outsource production, and develop niche studios, including on Canada's East Coast. In this paper, we examine emerging occupational cultures and trace the origins and evolution of video game production in Canada's Atlantic provinces—a critical yet peripheral space economy in the gaming sector. Our findings are drawn from 30 interviews…

Domesticating the church: The Reuse of Urban Churches as Loft Living in the Post-Secular City
In recent years, numerous mainline Christian denominations throughout Canada have sold their places of worship in the real estate market in response to declines in religious membership and participation. At the same time, a growing demand for creative residential spaces by a group of the new middle class encourages the redevelopment of churches into upscale lofts, a practice connected to but divergent from the post-industrial loft living made pop…

Divine Living: Marketing and Selling Churches as Lofts in Toronto, Canada
In recent years, a growing number of churches no longer used by religious groups have been converted to loft housing. Church lofts offer consumers heritage architecture and unique aesthetics, elements that distinguish these spaces in the housing market. In order to sell converted churches as viable homes, however, developers and their marketing teams deploy a variety of marketing strategies. Through an analysis of advertising media in Toronto, On…
Sustainability-As-Density and the Return of the Social: The Case of Vancouver, British Columbia
Urban planning policy in North America is increasingly dominated by the ideal of "sustainability-as-density"—the promotion of walkable neighborhoods containing high-density housing in proximity to transit and daily amenities. Although this planning approach is increasingly scrutinized due to its links to gentrification and rising regional housing costs, there are few examples of analysis of neighborhood-level effects, especially social impacts. T…

New Citizens and Old Politics in Peru
The article presents an analysis of the disjunction between civil and political society in Perú and its consequences in the collapse of the political parties and the rise of an authoritarian regime. It explains how citizenship developed as social rights in the realm of Peruvian civil society before the population gained access to full civil and political rights. This situation diminished the capacity of Peruvian citizens to have their own politic…
