New Settlements

The foundation of the new settlements, both in Italy and colonial Libya, was a step to achieving the project of internal colonisation launched by Mussolini. The modernisation of the countryside was promulgated by the Fascist propaganda, which presented only a misleading impression of how life was. What happens if - as an additional level of interpretation we add the narratives of the inhabitants who lived these moments? This paper presents this original methodical approach, introducing the narratives of the settlers in relation to the presence of politics in daily life during the Fascist era.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> <em>The dominance is a term that is owned by a variety of entities ranging from the lowest social strata up to those who have the highest power in public domain, even in the global public organization. The domination of the lowest domain up to the highest one can be transformed into a variety of issues including the role of someone in the public domain. Problems will arise when the role of men are much more dominant than women as shown in Samin community in Blora. Based on  the concept of gender, this study tried to dismantle and explore the myths of Samin  community and the commodity of Saminisme in Blora.</em> <em>The women of  Samin were still placed as a sub-ordinate of  men, that is, the Samin community in the village of Kelopo Dhuwur, called Wong</em> <em>Sikep (people of Sikep); Wong Samin who, in a particular level, still showed strong patriarchal culture in daily life, especially the issue of the concept of matchmaking in marriage and marriage itself.</em> <em>This condition was as a result of low level of their education which led to weakness of involvement of Samin women in public spaces. The local culture of this community had constructed domestication of women. Samin women's empowerment efforts had been done in two ways</em> by<em> its stakeholders, namely, Samin myth demolition and removal Saminisme commodities. The success and the positive effect of these two efforts had reached their attainment, although the results still  showed  the minimum  ideal outcome.</em><strong></strong></p><p dir="RTL"><strong>الملخص</strong> :إن موضوع "الهيمنة" أصبح لشتى الجهات من المجتمعات، من الجهة الإجتماعية السفلى إلى ولاية السلطة العليا بل وفي المنظمات العالمية. ظهرت هذه الهيمنة – من المستوى السافل إلى العالي – في شتّى الأشياء ومنها دور المرء في المجتمع. نشأت المشكلة إذا كانت هيمنة الرجل على المرأة أشد بالنسبة للمرأة، كما وقع هذا في المجتمع "سامين" بلورا. حاولت هذه الدراسة – بالمنظور الجنسي- كشف وعرض ودراسة أسطورة مجتمع "سامين" وبضاعة "السامينية" في بلورا. -كانت المرأة في المجتمع "سامين " إلى الآن تحت هيمنة الرجل . أظهر المجتمع الساميني في – جوانب خاصة – قوة ثقافة الهيمنة في حياتهم اليومية، خاصة في اختيار الزوجة والنكاح. وقع هذا بسبب قلتهم الحصول على التربية وأدى إلى ضعف دور المرأة السامينية في المجتمع. صوّرت الثقافة المحلية لهذا المجتمع " أن المرأة ربّة البيت". توالت المحاولات من الجهات المعنية لترقية النساء السامينيات عن طريقتين، 1) نسف وإزالة أسطورة "السامين"، 2) وإزالة بضائعية السامين. نجحت هذه المحاولات إلى حدّ ما، لكن لم يكن مقنعا للجميع.</p><p><strong>Abstrak:</strong><strong><em> </em></strong><em>Dominasi<strong> </strong>merupakan terma yang dimiliki oleh beragam entitas dari mulai ranah sosial terendah sampai pada wilayah kekuasaan tertinggi, bahkan dalam ranah oraganisasi global.

AbstractA global concern claims that activities and functions that once filled traditional public spaces are privatized being less and less oriented to the public. In Cairo’s new settlements, public spaces don’t seem to contribute to its public life. Each community’s most valuable assets are the ones they already have; thus, urbanisms advocate the role of retaining traditional street patterns, vistas, and landscape of a community’s distinct character. The research aim is to identify design attributes to be added to the literature in terms of designing public spaces for the specific cultural context of Cairo, Egypt, and its new suburban settlements. The methodology then follows a comparative analysis study to reach the desired objectives of buildings a community character approach. In an exploratory method, two case studies of public spaces in Cairo are chosen following a purposive selection most relevant to the study. The target is to choose two cases in proximity for users to be familiar with the two of them and enable a reliable comparison. It then conducts a survey that involves the user’s evaluation of their public spaces in correlation to their needs. Jan Gehl’s twelve criteria are adopted by this paper’s field investigation for the assessment of public spaces’ quality. Findings of the study include an elaboration on Jan Gehl’s twelve criteria either by highlighting the importance of existing aspects or the addition of further criteria that showed value to public space quality and their users. The findings provide guidelines that help in designing quality public spaces in Cairo’s new settlements. The added value from this study is in identifying a set of factors or attributes that consider users’ needs for a given cultural context.

Contemporary communicative platforms welcome and accelerate a socio-anthropological mutation in which public opinion (Habermas, 1995) based on rational individuals and alphabetic culture gives way to a public emotion whose emotion, empathy and sociality are the bases, where it is no longer the reason that directs the senses but the senses that begin to think. The public spheres that are elaborated in this way can only be disjunctive (Appadurai, 2001), since they are motivated by the desire to transgress the identity, political and social boundaries where they have been elevated and restricted. The more the daily life, in its local intension and its global extension, rests on itself and frees itself from projections or infatuations towards transcendent and distant orders, the more the modern territory is shaken by the forces that cross it and pierce it. non-stop. The widespread disobedience characterizing a significant part of the cultural events that take place in cyberspace - dark web, web porn, copyright infringement, trolls, even irreverent ... - reveals the anomic nature of the societal subjectivity that emerges from the point of intersection between technology and naked life. Behind each of these offenses is the affirmation of the obsolescence of the principles on which much of the modern nation-states and their rights have been based. Each situation in which a tribe, cloud, group or network blends in a state of ecstasy or communion around shared communications, symbols and imaginations, all that surrounds it, in material, social or ideological terms, fades away. in the air, being isolated by the power of a bubble that in itself generates culture, rooting, identification: transpolitic to inhabit

In the last few years, it has often been said that the current fashion system is outdated, still operating by a twentieth-century model that celebrates the individualism of the 'star designer'. In I- D, Sarah Mower recently stated that for the last twenty years, fashion has been at a cocktail party and has completely lost any connection with the public and daily life. On the one hand, designers and big brands experience the enormous pressure to produce new collections at an ever higher pace, leaving less room for reflection, contemplation, and innovation. On the other hand, there is the continuous race to produce at even lower costs and implement more rapid life cycles, resulting in disastrous consequences for society and the environment.

The Public Sphere

Public space is often understood as an important ‘node’ of the public sphere. Typically, theorists of public space argue that it is through the trust, civility and openness to others which citizens cultivate within a democracy’s public spaces, that they learn how to relate to one another as fellow members of a shared polity. However, such theorizing fails to articulate how these democratic comportments learned within public spaces relate to the public sphere’s purported role in holding state power to account. In this paper, we examine the ways in which what we call ‘partisan interventions’ into public space can correct for this gap. Using the example of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPIM), we argue that the ways in which CPIM partisans actively cultivate sites of historical regional importance – such as in the village of Kayyur – should be understood as an aspect of the party’s more general concern to present itself to citizens as an agent both capable and worthy of wielding state power. Drawing on histories of supreme partisan contribution and sacrifice, the party influences the ideational background – in competition with other parties – against which it stakes its claims to democratic legitimacy. In contrast to those theorizations of public space that celebrate its separateness from the institutions of formal democratic politics and the state more broadly, the CPIM’s partisan interventions demonstrate how parties’ locations at the intersections of the state and civil society can connect the public sphere to its task of holding state power to account, thereby bringing the explicitly political questions of democratic legitimacy into the everyday spaces of a political community.

This paper explores how design in the public realm can integrate city data to help disseminate the information embedded within it and provide urban opportunities for knowledge exchange. The hypothesis is that such art and design practices in public spaces, as places of knowledge exchange, may enable more sustainable communities and cities through the visualization of data. To achieve this, we developed a methodology to compare various design approaches for integrating three main elements in public-space design projects: city data, specific issues of sustainability, and varying methods for activating the data. To test this methodology, we applied it to a pedogeological project where students were required to render city data visible. We analyze the proposals presented by the young designers to understand their approaches to design, data, and education. We study how they “educate” and “dialogue” with the community about sustainable issues. Specifically, the research attempts to answer the following questions: (1) How can we use data in the design of public spaces as a means for sustainability knowledge exchange in the city? (2) How can community-based design contribute to innovative data collection and dissemination for advancing sustainability in the city? (3) What are the overlaps between the projects’ intended impacts and the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? Our findings suggest that there is a need for such creative practices, as they make information available to the community, using unconventional methods. Furthermore, more research is needed to better understand the short- and long-term outcomes of these works in the public realm.

Outdoor tourism is a form of outdoor holiday that is growing rapidly today, and that stands out from other forms of tourism for its immediate relationship with the landscape which becomes for the tourist the main attraction of the holiday intended as a break from ordinary urban life. Outdoor tourism today represents a growing percentage in the tourism sector, in which mobile homes are the real players. Despite the considerable use of this product in open-air accommodations located in relevant landscapes, there is still no sensitivity in the constructive approach and in the choice of materials in terms of sustainability. In the open-air tourism sector, the lack of ecological sensitivity results from two levels of application: one regarding the whole settlement and the public spaces of outdoor accommodations and one regarding the mobile unit from the design to the production process. This paper will provide some practical strategies to introduce the ecological theme in the mobile home for the tourism sector. The research aims to analyze the production system of mobile homes in order to introduce alternative materials within the existing assembly line. The research demonstrates the possibility of a product being sustainable both economically and environmentally, healthy, and well-integrated with landscape by adopting an approach that makes it possible to use the same assembly line currently in use.
