‘It is a truth universally acknowledged that the practice of religion will be influenced by the social conditions prevailing in any given locality.’ The debate on this statement is largely concentrated for present purposes into a consideration of activities between c1100 and c1250 in two distinctive societies: Westminster abbey and its environs and, in contrast, the city and diocese of Worcester. The essential function of Westminster abbey was, of course, intercessory, and while this role was shared with Worcester cathedral, the latter church had also a wide-ranging pastoral responsibility. In this sense, no exact equation can be made, yet the richness of the records which both churches accumulated presents adequate material for a valid comparison in other respects. It is not intended, and is, indeed, impossible to make an arbitrary definition of Westminster as town and Worcester as countryside. Elements of both were contained in Westminster and Worcester alike.

The qualitative and clear definition of the legal regime of the capital of Ukraine, the hero city of Kyiv, is influenced by its legislative enshrinement, however, it should be noted that discussions are ongoing and one of the reasons for the unclear legal status of the capital is the ambiguity of current legislation in this area. Separation of the functions of the city of Kyiv, which are carried out to ensure the rights of citizens of Ukraine and the functions that guarantee the rights of the territorial community of the city of Kyiv. In the modern world, in legal doctrine and practice, the capital is understood as the capital of the country, which at the legislative level received this status and, accordingly, is the administrative and political center of the state, which houses the main state bodies and diplomatic missions of other states. It is the identification of the boundaries of the relationship between the competencies of state administrations and local self-government, in practice, often raises questions about their delimitation and ways of regulatory solution. Peculiarities of local self-government in Kyiv city districts are defined in the provisions of the Law on the Capital, which reveal the norms of the Constitution in these legal relations, according to which the issue of organizing district management in cities belongs to city councils. Likewise, it is unregulated by law to lose the particularity of the legal status of the territory of the city. It should be emphasized that the subject of administrative-legal relations is not a certain administrative-territorial entity, but the social group is designated - the territorial community of the city of Kiev, kiyani. Thus, the provisions on the city of Kyiv partially ignore the potential of the territorial community.

The study in this paper is focused thinking Islamic law Imam Malik bin Anas approach to social history.  This study is a study that is fairly new in the field of science of Islamic law, so it is still a bit of academics watched. Imam Malik himself was one of four priests schools are known by the nickname ahlu hadith. Imam Malik in his life has never been out of the city of Medina except during Hajj. This of course support his thought in solving the complexity of the problems largely solved by the hadith enough. In addition, the state of the environment in the Medina which is the place where the Prophet lived for several years, community issues are lightweight and simple. Although Imam Malik called a hadith expert, but he also remains unaffected by the use of ratios in berijtihad because the social conditions at the time. This is evidenced by the use of expert Amal Madinah (Medina community of practice), Fatwa Sahabah, Qiyas, Al-maşlahah mursalah, Aż-żari'ah, Al-Urf (custom) in making Islamic law. Imam Malik was also like other schools with the Qur'an and Hadith as the primary source of Islamic law. [Kajian dalam tulisan ini difokuskan pemikiran hukum Islam Imam Malik bin Anas dengan pendekatan sejarah sosial.  Kajian ini merupakan kajian yang cukup baru di bidang keilmuan hukum Islam, sehingga masih sedikit dari kalangan akademisi yang memperhatikannya. Imam Malik sendiri adalah salah satu dari empat imam mazhab yang terkenal dengan julukan ahlu hadits. Dalam kehidupannya Imam Malik tidak pernah keluar dari kota Madinah kecuali saat haji. Hal ini tentu saja mendukung pemikirannya dalam menyelesaikan kompleksitas permasalahan yang sebagian besar cukup diselesaikan dengan hadits. Selain itu,  keadaan lingkungan di Madinah yang merupakan tempat dimana Rasulullah hidup selama beberapa tahun, permasalahan masyarakat yang ringan dan sederhana. Walaupun Imam Malik disebut sebagai ahlu Hadits namun dirinya juga tetap terpengaruh dengan penggunaan rasio dalam berijtihad karena kondisi sosial saat itu. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan penggunaan Amal ahli Madinah (praktik masyarakat Madinah), Fatwa sahabat, Qiyas, Al-maşlahah mursalah, Aż-żari'ah, al-‘Urf (adat istiadat) dalam pengambilan hukum Islam. Imam Malik pun juga seperti mazhab lain dengan al-Quran dan Hadits sebagai sumber utama dalam hukum Islam.]

This paper offers an interpretation of the dramatic setting of Plato’s Phaedrus as an allegory of the situation of the philosopher within Plato’s Athens. Following Jean-Pierre Vernant’s work on the place of class struggle and warfare within the ancient Greek city-state in his Myth and Society in Ancient Greece I decipher key passages on the Phaedrus as implicit responses to Plato’s experience of the city. The key themes that emerge are: the relation between the country and the city; the connection between leisure, luxury, and territorial expansion; the prospects for philosophical rule in the city; and the assessment of writing as a product of urban and commercial development. In my concluding paragraphs I suggest that Plato’s dialogues should more generally be regarded as a confrontation with the social conditions of the city-state as Plato experienced them. I also suggest that Platonic writings such as the Phaedrus are best interpreted allegorically as well as literally to ensure that multiple levels of meaning are drawn out through close analysis.

Chicago Heights was a twentieth-century city. The defining movements of the century—urbanization, industrialization, and immigration—tell much of the city's history and provide an understanding of the social conditions leading to the emergence of organized crime. This chapter takes a brief look back at these historical developments as they played themselves out in the Chicago Heights context. Following this, it traces the history of the vice operations in Chicago Heights from their beginning in the early 1900s, to their union with the Chicago Outfit in the 1920s, to their ascendance and decline throughout the remainder of the century. The chapter suggests that the rise development and decline of the Chicago Heights Outfit run parallel in many ways to the fortunes of the city.

SummaryThis article examines Rome City Council's policies concerning the Roma during Francesco Rutelli's two terms as mayor (1993-2001). It demonstrates that the Rutelli administration's policies for these minority communities shifted from a superficial but genuine attempt to overcome aspects of marginalization to a criminalizing strategy of exclusion. It is argued here that the failure significantly to improve the social conditions of the Roma was due to (a) a refusal to tackle the inter-related causes of their social exclusion and (b) submission to the anti-Roma hostility of parts of the voting public. Following the demolition of Rome's largest shanty town in October 2000, the Council was unable to house many of the Roma it had made homeless. It would seem that a ‘cleaning-up’ campaign was intro duced to distance undocumented individuals and those with criminal records from the city through a notable rise in police raids. This change in approach was accompanied and justified by an intensification of ethnicized public order discourse.

<p>RESUMEN: La Salud Pública de principios del siglo XX se caracterizó por la intervención sobre las enfermedades sociales, aquéllas ligadas a las lamentables condiciones de vida y trabajo. Analizamos el contenido periodístico para conocer la higiene pública de este periodo, para valorar cómo la prensa es capaz de alejarse de los centros médicos y gubernamentales y de crear un particular estado de opinión en la sociedad respecto a las enfermedades que responde a los propios intereses de los medios de comunicación. Tomamos como referencia las noticias publicadas en Cuenca relacionadas con las condiciones higiénicas de la ciudad y con el alzamiento del precio de las subsistencias.</p><p>ABSTRACT: Public Health in the early twentieth century was marked by the intervention on the social diseases linked to those deplorable living and working social conditions. We analyze the discursive journalistic contents of this period related to public health, in order to demonstrate how the press is able to get away from medical centers and government and create a particular state of opinion in society about different diseases that respond to the own interests of social mass media. The pieces of news selected were published in Cuenca, and were related to the hygienic conditions of the city and the rise of the subsistence’s price.</p>
