Gentrificación rural "verde"? Desplazamientos y eco-colonización en Patagonia-Aysén, Chile
En este artículo se analizan algunos procesos socioterritoriales contemporáneos en la región de Aysén, Patagonia chilena, con especial énfasis en el Valle Exploradores. Se estima que aquellos procesos pueden ser interpretados como una forma de gentrificación rural y "verde". Bajo esta categoría se quiere dar cuenta de una multiplicidad de procesos interdependientes tales como el desplazamiento de la población local vinculada al incremento en el v…
The Oxford Handbook of the Modern Slum
“Slum” is among the most evocative and judgmental words of the modern world. It originated in the slang language of the world’s then-largest city, London, early in the nineteenth century. Its use thereafter proliferated, and its original meanings unraveled as colonialism and urbanization transformed the world, and as prejudice against those disadvantaged by these transformations became entrenched. Cuckoo-like, “slum” overtook and transformed othe…

Our Corner of the World”
This essay reviews urban history research in Australia, arguing that as the field has developed since the 1970s it has become increasingly interdisciplinary and outward looking. The essay draws attention to analysis that has focused on the vernacular forms of past social life, and argues that by adding complexity to this approach a useful research pathway can be developed through which to study the reference points used by people to frame and pre…

Guardians at the gate
This article examines the ambivalent relationship that San Francisco and Darwin developed with Asia during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. On the one hand they presented themselves as gateways that facilitated trade with Asia. On the other hand they acted as sentinels that protected Europeans from Asian immigration. This quirky behaviour is encapsulated in the quarantine regulations that were applied in both ports to Asian comm…

Melbourne's ‘little Lon
How might one tap the idiom of vanished communities, once local knowledge has faded? How might one chart the mental landscapes of locales that have been overlaid by other people's understandings, and whose material forms have been erased by redevelopment? This paper integrates history and archaeology in order to reclaim the actualities of one city neighbourhood—Melbourne's ‘Little Lon—from the distorting realities fashioned by outside perceptions

Starting with Englander's denial ( Urban History , 21, 2 (1994)), that ‘slums are ... real only in words, ... rather than being rooted in the material conditions of everyday life’, the article draws a distinction between historical analyses of slums, which entail an examination of words, signs and symbols, and analyses of inner-city neighbourhoods which have been overshadowed by slumland representations. It is claimed that this latter task entail…

City Back-Slums in the Land of Promise
from his comfortable Sydney office. How can we reconcile the optimism of the Herald with the realities of life during these years? In great measure, of course, the paradox might be explained in terms of the physical separation of wealth and poverty in nineteenth century Sydney, but in the case of Garran at least, who was so prominent a figure in circles concerned for the relief of the poor, ignorance seems unlikely. The answer, I believe, lies in…

City as Artifact
Let me take you on a Cook's tour of urban historic preservation outcomes in the United States. The undertaking is doubly complicated. First, I am an outsider from Australia, a nation that is known more for its sheep farms than for its cities—or, indeed, for a significant national history or a non- Aboriginal cultural heritage that is worth preserving. Second, the dislocation between subject matter and observer is further compounded because I am w…

Representing the slum
Robert Darnton writes that one can read cities as one does texts. Few historians would disagree. After all, the doyen of British urban history, H.J. Dyos, had been ‘reading’ streetscapes since the 1950s. Moreover, his peers had long felt comfortable with the idea that cities were templates which could in a sense be read in order to extract the historical developments that were ‘reflected’ in them. A younger generation of urban historians had been…
