Karachi is a sprawling megapolis of Pakistan that hosts hundreds of thousands of immigrants and refugees from different parts of the world. The Rohingyas constitute one such community and live in the south of the city in an area called Arakanabad, named after their ancestral homeland of Arakan (now called Rakhine State) in Myanmar. While there is some media coverage about the plight of the community in general, the challenges faced by migrant Rohingya women are largely ignored. This is a photo essay of Rohingya women living in Karachi.

À luz de desafios atuais presentes no espaço público brasileiro, a discussão sobre a presença de crucifixos em tribunais gaúchos e a atuação de políticos evangélicos no Congresso, o artigo propõe-se fazer um primeiro balanço da reflexão sobre uma teologia pública no Brasil. Assim, procura responder à pergunta “o que é teologia pública?” não de forma definitória, inequívoca, uniformizante. Antes, mostra uma variedade de origens do termo e de oportunidades, bem como de perigos contidos neste conceito. Num primeiro passo, o artigo apresenta quatro linhas de abordagem presentes na emergente discussão brasileira. Em seguida, recorrendo ao sul-africano Dirk Smit, mostra a diversidade de origens e usos do conceito em várias partes do mundo. Por fim, procura evidenciar a pertinência e o potencial de uma teologia pública no Brasil – com ousadia e humildade.ABSTRACT: In view of actual challenges present in the Brazilian public space, the discussion on the presence of crosses in courthouses in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, as well as on the activities of evangelical Congressmen, this article ventures into a first balance of reflection on a public theology in Brazil. It seeks to respond to the question “what is public theology?” not with a clear and uniform definition. Rather, it shows a variety of origins and opportunities, as well as dangers contained in the concept. In a first step, the article presents four lines of thought present in the emerging Brazilian discussion. Then, with reference to the South African theologian Dirk Smit, it shows the diversity of origins and uses of the concept in different parts of the world. Finally, it seeks to show the pertinence and the potential of a public theology in Brazil – both with boldness and humility.

This article explores the changing values of heritage in an era saturated by an excess of media coverage in various settings and also threatened by either natural or manmade disasters that constantly take place around the world. In doing so, we focus on discussing one specific case: the debate surrounding the identification of Sungnyemun as the number one national treasure in South Korea. Sungnyemun, which was first constructed in 1396 as the south gate of the walled city Seoul, is the country’s most acknowledged cultural heritage that is supposed to represent the national identity in the most authentic way, but its value was suddenly questioned through a nationwide debate after an unexpected fire. While the debate has been silenced after its ostensibly successful restoration conducted by the Cultural Heritage Administration in 2013, this article argues that the incident is a prime example illustrating how the once venerated heritage is reassembled through an entanglement of various agents and their affective engagements. Methodologically speaking, this article aims to read Sungnyemun in reference to the growing scholarship of actor-network theory (ANT) and the studies of heritage in the post-disaster era through which to explore what heritage means to us at the present time. Our synchronic approach to Sungnyemun encourages us to investigate how the once-stable monument becomes a field where material interventions and affective engagements of various agents release its public meanings in new ways.

Over the past few years several papers have been written based on the results of surveys of marine traffic in different parts of the world. The general knowledge of the overall picture of the behaviour of ships at sea has increased considerably but there are still many aspects which need to be explored. One of the main fields of interest of the Marine Traffic Research Unit at the City of London Polytechnic is the use that mariners make of available sea room. For any particular area the navigational difficulties are going to vary considerably in situations where ships enter the area at different points, travelling indifferent directions, from situations in which the ships tend to keep to a number of defined routes through the area. If ships do tend to adopt a routing structure through an area, the next question of interest is how wide the various routes are, given no physical limitations for their width. The behaviour patterns may vary for different types of ship, and speed is another variable which may affect the situation. Answers to all these questions would be needed if one wanted to analyse the efficiency and safety aspects of marine traffic in an area.

Busing students for integration did not please Senator John C. Stennis of Mississippi. “[P]arents,” said he, “are not going to permit their children to be boxed up and crated and hauled around the city and the country like common animals.” Senators thinking there was public support for busing ought to “get [their] ear a little closer to the ground.” To help make his point, Stennis and other southern Senators sought to require that new federal desegregation guidelines be enforced uniformly across the country or dropped altogether. Their strategy was simple: to arouse racial feelings in the North and bring the whole desegregation effort to a screeching halt. “If you have to [integrate] in your area,” Stennis informed his northern colleagues, “you will see what it means to us.” On February 18, 1970, the Senate adopted the Stennis amendment, thanks largely to a speech by Abraham Ribicoff of Connecticut charging the North with “monumental hypocrisy” in condemning segregation in the South while tolerating it in its own backyard. Senator Ribicoff, predictably, was denounced for playing into southern hands. But some in the North felt he had “done a rare and useful thing: He has told his colleagues the truth, which is that many of them would rather flay the dying carcass of southern segregation than face the racism in their own bailiwicks.” Swann had flayed that carcass roundly. The case, said the NewYork Times, reflected “the Court’s belief that the school authorities of Charlotte, N.C., and other Southern districts, have openly defied the 1954 Supreme Court ruling that outlawed the maintenance of dual school systems.” That, precisely, was Swarm’s viewpoint. The Court noted that it dealt only with school systems having a “long history” of official segregation. It cited the traditional precedents of southern recalcitrance, expressed impatience with the South’s “dilatory tactics,” and spoke to all the world as if the transcendent issue was how finally to bring the South into compliance with Brown. It implied that southern and northern racism were different animals, that the South practiced an evil segregation known as de jure, while that of the North was more “natural,” de facto.

The Glastonbury Goddess religion in the South West of England began in the 1990s by a small group of women dedicated to reviving the Goddess of the land surrounding Glastonbury, interpreting and revitalizing myths and legends in relation to her, and reclaiming the Goddess as their own after centuries of male Christian dominated religion. Hugely successful, the group have constructed what they claim to be the first Goddess Temple dedicated to the indigenous goddess of Glastonbury in over 1500 years. The article will argue that territorialization, or “re-territorialization,” is one of the main strategies of this indigenizing process, and is carried out through the use and development of Glastonbury Goddess material cultures, ritual creativity and narratives, as well as international Goddess training programmes. Prompting the reclamation of local Goddesses in different parts of the world, the Glastonbury Goddess religion is having local and global reach.

Yogyakarta adalah kota yang unik dan istimewa, salah satunya karena adanya filosofi tentang garis imajiner. Garis imajiner itu sudah menjadi wacana lama, tetapi tetap menarik untuk menjadi pembahasan. Kota ini terbelah sebuah oleh sumbu imajiner yang menghubungkan Gunung Merapi – Tugu Pal Putih – Keraton – Panggung Krapyak – Parangtritis. Dilihat dari peta, juga bisa dilihat jika Merapi, Keraton, dan Pantai Selatan ini memang berada di satu garis lurus secara imajiner. Filosofi garis lurus imajiner dari Merapi hingga Laut Selatan ini sarat makna. Untuk masyarakat di Yogyakarta, Gunung Merapi, Laut Selatan, dan Keraton Yogyakarta mengandung makna penting. Kehidupan di dunia merupakan sebuah harmoni antara mikrokosmos (jagat cilik) dan makrokosmos (jagat gede). Keharmonisan itu harus dijaga satu sama lain, tidak boleh terjadi ketimpangan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah bagaimana melakukan eksplorasi pemotretan udara atas poros imajiner dikaitkan dengan teknis kreatif dan aspek estetis yang dapat mengungkap kekhasan wilayah Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta. Pemotretan yang akan dilakukan adalah pemotretan melalui udara menggunakan drone, sebuah peralatan dan teknologi baru yang sedang berkembang dalam dunia fotografi saat ini. Lokasi yang akan direkam dan didokumentasikan adalah lima titik yang ada dalam poros imajiner tersebut, yaitu Gunung Merapi, Tugu Pal Putih, Keraton, Panggung Krapyak, dan Parangtritis. Salah satu kekuatan dalam fotografi udara dengan menggunakan drone adalah keleluasaan dalam menempatkan kamera. Keleluasaan penempatan kamera tersebut membuka ruang eksplorasi dalam mengambil gambar dari berbagai sudut yang berbeda. Gambar dari sudut yang berbeda tersebut dapat memberikan cara pandang yang berbeda pula. Hal ini berarti ruang hampir tidak terbatas untuk mengekplorasi berbagai sudut yang mungkin sulit dijangkau ketika menggunakan medium fotografi lainnya. ABSTRACTAerial Photography Technical Exploration of the Special Region of Yogyakarta’s Imaginary Axis. Yogyakarta is a unique and special city, one of them is because of the philosophy of the Imaginary Line. Although the imaginary line has become an old discourse, it is still interesting to be discussed. The city is split by an imaginary axis connecting Mount Merapi - Tugu Pal Putih - Keraton - Panggung Krapyak –Parangtritis.  Explored from the map, it can also be seen that Merapi, Keraton and South Coast are indeed in one imaginary straight line. The philosophy of imaginary straight lines from Merapi to the South Sea is full of meaning. For people in Yogyakarta, Mount Merapi, the South Sea, and Yogyakarta Palace, they have their own important meaninga. Life in the world is a harmony between the microcosm (the universe) and the macrocosm (big universe). The harmony must be maintained with each other, inequality must not occur.  The purpose of this study is to explore aerial photography of an imaginary axis associated with creative technical and aesthetic aspects that can reveal the peculiarities of the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The photos taken are aerial photography using Drones, a new equipment and technology that is developing in the world of photography today. The locations that were recorded and documented were the five points in the imaginary axis, namely Mount Merapi, Tugu Pal Putih, Keraton, Panggung Krapyak, and Parangtritis. One of the strengths in aerial photography using drones is the flexibility in placing the camera. The flexibility of placing the camera opens an exploration of space in taking pictures from different angles, because images from different angles can provide a different perspective. This means there is an unlimited space to explore various angles that may be difficult to reach when using other photography mediums.

The horizontal positional accuracy of Google Earth is assessed in the city of Montreal, Canada, using the precise coordinates of ten GPS points spatially distributed all over the city. The results show that the positional accuracy varies in the study area between ∼0.1 m in the south to ∼2.7 m in the north. Furthermore, two methods are developed for correcting the observed positional errors: (a) using a set of transformation parameters between true coordinates of the geodetic points and their coordinates in Google Earth, and by (b) interpolating the misfit vectors at the geodetic points. The former method reduces the overall accuracy to ∼67 cm RMSE, whereas the latter one practically removes all the distortion (RMSE = 1 cm). Both methods can be developed for other places in the world subject to availability of appropriate control points. In addition, a displacement problem caused by the topography of the area and the viewing angle of the imaging satellite is discussed, and it is shown that the true positions can be shifted even up to several meters, as a consequence.

The fast urbanization in many regions of the world has generated a high competition between cities. In the race for investments and for international presence, some cities have increasingly resorting to the territorial marketing techniques like city branding. One of the strategies of recent years has been to use of creativity and / or labeling of creative city for the promotion of its destination. This phenomenon raises a question whether the city branding programs have worked in accordance with the cultural industries of the territory or if such labels influence the thought of tourists and locals. This paper begins by placing a consideration of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network (UCCN) and the strategies of the Territorial Marketing Program of the city of Lyon in France, Only Lyon. It also raises the question the perception of the target public to each of the current actions through semi-structured interviews which were applied between May and August 2015. Finally, I will try to open a discussion the brand positioning adopted by the city of Lyon
