The new home of the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Edmonton Oilers opened in 2016. This publicly financed, CAD 613.7 million arena was built in downtown Edmonton, Alberta. The arena and its broader entertainment district were designed to ‘revitalize’ Edmonton’s inner city that was already home to the majority of the city’s homeless population. The spatial transformation of Edmonton’s inner city was an example of what geographer Neil Smith referred to as ‘The New Urban Frontier’. Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice, this article explores how the local music community reacted to downtown gentrification through songs by punk bands Latcho Drom, Rebuild/Repair and Audio/Rocketry, along with rapper Cadence Weapon. This article assesses a series of reactions ranging from supportive and promotional to critical and resistive. By showing how musicians engaged in the debate over development, this article creates a template for assessing processes of gentrification, through the relationship between professional sport, media and music. It analyses the role of cultural production in the continued process of gentrification, future developments in cities and who belongs in the new urban landscape. In doing so, this article suggests the embodiment of a punk habitus by agents negotiating various fields in Edmonton and beyond.

The Relationship

We develop a new conceptual framework to analyze the evolution of the relationship between cultural production and different forms of economic and social value creation in terms of three alternative socio-technical regimes that have emerged over time. We show how, with the emergence of the Culture 3.0 regime characterized by novel forms of active cultural participation, where the distinction between producers and users of cultural and creative contents is increasingly blurred, new channels of social and economic value creation through cultural participation acquire increasing importance. We characterize them through an eight-tier classification, and argue on this basis why cultural policy is going to acquire a central role in the policy design approaches of the future. Whether Europe will play the role of a strategic leader in this scenario in the context of future cohesion policies is an open question.

The Relationship

Public health literature has demonstrated a negative effect of income inequality on a number of health outcomes. Researchers have attempted to explain this phenomenon, drawing on psychosocial and neo-materialist explanations. This paper argues, however, that these approaches fail to recognize the crucial role of culture, focusing specifically on the cultural value of individualism. Through a review of the literature and Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of practice as a theoretical framework, I provide support for the proposition that an ideology based in individualism is the context within which income inequality, social fragmentation, material deprivation, and consequently poor health outcomes are produced. I further offer recommendations for continued research into the role of cultural determinants in the income inequality-health relationship.

Miami’s built and natural environment, together with the politics of migration, has transformed it into a major global city and art center over the past decades. This article situates Miami—generally viewed as an aspirational city and cultural nexus of the Americas—as an oceanic borderlands lying between political and ecological precarity as well as economic and cultural excess. This article examines the relationship of contemporary art and the urban landscape to consider Miami’s unique place for thinking about LatinX and Latin America today. Building on Gloria Anzaldúa’s theorizing on borderlands and creative expression as a framework and drawing inspiration from the Vodou pantheon of Erzulie, this essay analyzes Miami through a queer and Caribbean lens. New high-rises, prominent museums, and public art installations exemplify the rise of the neoliberal city and its inherent contradictions. The work of prominent local and international artists such as Edouard Duval-Carrié, Jeanne-Claude & Christo, Glexis Novoa, and Alfredo Jaar is explored as a window for considering Miami’s cultural production. Miami is a model of tropical urbanity. Its social, political, and economic conditions belie this city’s status as global cultural capital.

While the role of material culture in reproducing everyday routines and representations has been widely studied, only specific social groups – most of which are based in the US or Europe – have been studied qua ‘consumers’. This article draws on the heuristic potential of materiality for the analysis of consumption practices, and on Bourdieu’s theory of practice and notions of habitus and hysteresis, to explore what happens when immigrants bring their earlier dispositions to new social and material settings. Adopting the Bourdieusian notion of hysteresis, the article investigates the extent of creative adaptations enabled by the lagging of habitus. Findings from a two-year research project are presented, focusing on both verbal and visual representations of taste of a sample of young men and women of different national origins who have recently arrived in Italy. The article also discusses the potential of the photoelicitation technique in analysing social consumption practices and its overall contribution to studying the relationship between consumption practices and ethnic identification.

<p>Abstrak: Ulama di Indonesia: Antara Otoritas Keagamaan dan Kekuatan Simbolik. Artikel ini berupaya menguji hubungan antara peranan ulama, otoritas keagamaan, dan kekuatan simbolik dalam masyarakat Muslim Indonesia dengan meneliti sejumlah literatur penting. Dalam studi ini penulis menggunakan kerangka teoretis ahli sosiologi Prancis Pierre Bourdieu, yakni teori praksis yang hampir tidak pernah digunakan dalam kajian agama di Indonesia. Studi ini mengungkapkan bahwa ulama memegang peranan yang strategis dalam masyarakat Indonesia dan peranannya tetap penting dalam konteks perubahan sosial, politik, dan ekonomi yang cepat. Tetapi otoritas keagamaan ulama telah terfragmentasi sejak lama dan media global dan teknologi informasi telah membuat otoritas tersebut semakin plural. Dalam konteks ini otoritas keagamaan merupakan arena yang kompetitif di mana kelompok tradisionalis, reformis, radikalis, dan pendatang baru berkompetisi untuk mencapai pengakuan. Studi ini juga menegaskan bahwa otoritas keagamaan dan pengakuan berjalan hanya dengan adanya kekuatan simbolik.</p><p><br />Abstract: This article attempts to examine the relationship between the role of ulama, religious authority, and symbolic power in Indonesian Muslim society by scrutinizing famous literature of ulama in Indonesia. In the study I utilize French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s theoretical framework known as theory of practice, hardly ever used in the study of religion (Islam) in Indonesia. The study reveals that the ulama have played a strategic role in the Indonesian society and their role continues to be important in the context of rapid social, political, and economic changes. However, the religious authority of ulama has been fragmented and the global media and information technologies have made the authority more pluralized. The religious authority is a competitive field in which traditionalist, reformist, radicalist, and new entrants compete for gaining recognition. The study also affirms that the religious authority and recognition are exercised only by the symbolic power.</p><p><br />Keywords: religious authority, ulama, symbolic power, Indonesia</p>

Successful Colonization

Abstract Plant health care is a program of preventive maintenance, based on the use of cultural, biological and chemical tactics, to enhance plant appearance, structure and vitality. Trees planted in the urban landscape are considered to be stressed and predisposed to successful colonization by many insects. This presumption that there is a simple index between vitality and stress, and that stressed trees are predisposed to colonization, may not always be true. The relationship between tree vitality and susceptibility to insect attack is highly complex. Tree susceptibility to insect colonization does not increase continuously with stress. Recent studies have indicated that mild stress may improve tree defenses and that a plant health care strategy aimed at maintaining rapid tree growth may not reduce susceptibility to insects. Extension specialists and researchers need to focus their efforts on understanding tree defense strategies and developing cultural recommendations aimed at improving defenses rather than growth.

Attachment Place

Abstract As the aesthetic of the Polish cities became a topic of wider discussions, it is important to detect the potential role of human-place relations. Two studies (N = 185 & N = 196) were conducted to explore the relationship between place attachment, place identity and appraisal of urban landscape. Satisfaction with urban aesthetic was predicted by two dimensions of place attachment (place inherited and place discovered), local identity (on the trend level) and national-conservative identity. Place discovered and European identity were also predictors of visual pollution sensitivity. Place discovered is considered as more active type of attachment that permits both a positive bias concerning the aesthetics of one’s city, and a stronger criticism of the elements that can potentially violate the place’s landscape.

Abstract. Background: Lowered eye blink rate may be a clinically useful indicator of acute, imminent, and severe suicide risk. Diminished eye blink rates are often seen among individuals engaged in heightened concentration on a specific task that requires careful planning and attention. Indeed, overcoming one’s biological instinct for survival through suicide necessitates premeditation and concentration; thus, a diminished eye blink rate may signal imminent suicidality. Aims: This article aims to spur research and clinical inquiry into the role of eye blinks as an indicator of acute suicide risk. Method: Literature relevant to the potential connection between eye blink rate and suicidality was reviewed and synthesized. Results: Anecdotal, cognitive, neurological, and conceptual support for the relationship between decreased blink rate and suicide risk is outlined. Conclusion: Given that eye blinks are a highly observable behavior, the potential clinical utility of using eye blink rate as a marker of suicide risk is immense. Research is warranted to explore the association between eye blink rate and acute suicide risk.
