Research Institute

The review is dedicated to activities of Research Institute of Urban History. The main attention turns to directions of the work of the Research Institute: 1. Multifaceted studying of urban history (continuation of individual Institute’s member's studies on various components of the urban past; realization of joint research projects connected with urbanization; organization of conferences and meetings dedicated to urban issues; cooperation with other research in­stitutions and associations involved in studying urban past); 2. Developing a website of the Institute, which should become a platform for communica­tion scholars and the public involved and interested in urban history as well as for publishing articles and archival collections of the Research Institute; 3. Work as editorial board and authors of historical-cultural anthology “Frontiers of the city”. 4. Conducting oral historical research on urban history with the formation of an archive of oral historical narrative (theoretical and practical training for interviewers; preparing and conducting expeditions; systematization, processing the collected materials; preparation of materials for publication); 5. Development and maintenance of the archive of film doc­uments related to urban history (heuristic work in archives; identifying and copying film documents from private collections; participation in creation on the basis of these film documents documentaries and popular science films on the history of cities); 6. Development and maintenance of the depositary of photographs related to the history of “urban space”; 7. Creating in the structure of the Research Institute the Museum of Berdyansk State Pedagog­ical University, which is a broader context may be considered as a museum of the history of education in an urban area; 8. Public activities aimed at popularization of urban history and at the interaction of researchers with society (organization of exhibitions, competitions, etc.; initiation and implementation of public projects).

Paris is the capital city of France and center of the Île-de-France region, Europe’s second-largest urban agglomeration. Paris is a globally important hub for finance, education, culture, and the arts, and by some measures it is the world’s most visited international tourist destination. The city’s importance for the field of urban studies is due primarily to (a) its present significance as a global city, and, to a greater extent, (b) its historical importance as a place where a particular version of modernity emerged that, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, would heavily influence the design and cultural landscapes of cities around the world. For this reason, the urban history of Paris exerts a broad influence in the fields of planning, geography, and architectural history, as well as in public health, the history of science and technology, art history, and literature. Indeed, research on Paris stands out among other cities for the degree to which scholars in the humanities have sought to engage with urban issues. This is due to the fact that a large proportion of the artistic and cultural output associated with Paris ruminates about the nature of urban life itself. This bibliography has been written for a broad Anglophone readership; it therefore privileges scholarship in English. English translations of important French works have been supplied wherever possible. However, in an effort to balance accessibility with rigor, some French-language scholarship is included as well. In several cases, English-language publications by prominent French scholars have been supplied that may not be the best representation of these scholars’ work, but such citations will nevertheless serve to introduce these important figures to an Anglophone audience. Readers should be warned that the small number of French-language citations included here are far from comprehensive, and are primarily intended to round out the bibliography for those Anglophone scholars who read French. The bibliography is organized under the three broad headings: Historicizing Modernity, Linking Past and Present, and Contemporary Paris. The logic for this structure is based on that notion that distinguishing between urban history and contemporary urban studies will be convenient for many readers. However, some of the best work on Paris combines past and present, and a great deal of contemporary work is most engaging when placed in dialogue with the city’s history, and vice versa.

Over Time

Creating a historical narrative for a place has traditionally entailed consulting the source materials that have managed to survive over time, interpreting those records, and constructing a narrative for how that place came to be. Until recently historians have often viewed technology and its ability to contribute to this process with skepticism if not outright hostility. Contrary to this view, geographic information systems (GIS) can add to, and not detract from, the creation of a historical narrative for a specific place. Apart from the Great Fire of Seattle in 1889, the regrading and removal of Denny Hill (1898–1930) arguably represents the most iconic period in Seattle’s urban history. The Denny Regrade, the removal of a 245-foot hill that once buttressed Seattle’s downtown retail and commercial districts, remains prominent in the historical consciousness of Seattle, as it represents a period of intense and dramatic change. GIS, and in particular historical GIS, offers the opportunity to more deeply explore and re-create the history of the Denny Regrade due to its inherent ability to spatially integrate, visualize, and analyze information. Using the Denny Regrade as a case study, this article examines the application of historical GIS to a topic in urban history across an extended temporal scale (1893–2008). Three main areas are discussed. The historical context of the Denny Regrade is explored; components of the historical GIS developed for the study are examined; and examples of geovisualizations and new historical data and information are presented.

The City

The formation and development of the intelligence as a political and creative force could not exist without the influence of the urban environment. The integration of Kazakh intellectuals into the urban space has led to qualitative changes in such aspects as city, intelligence, and its behavioral patterns. The study of the factors of influence of urban space on the development of social groups and institutions, namely on the qualitative characteristics of the national intelligentsia, the processes of their adaptation to the urban environment is an important task of the humanities, including the historical one. Modern Kazakhstani historiography is in the paradigm of assimilating the results of European and Russian urban history. This article will highlight the historiographic situation in this direction from the point of view of the development of urban issues. The article attempts to analyze the phenomenon the mutual influence of the city and the Kazakh intelligentsia at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries by the principles of historiographic generalization. The city, being a multifunctional space where ideas and innovations are generated, changes not only the landscape, but also the world perception in general. The activities of the national intelligentsia are associated not only with creativity, but primarily with public activity, and determined the development of Kazakhstan in conceptual framework. Today, Kazakhstani historiography is represented by separate studies on the history of the city, intelligentsia, Cossacks, and merchants. At the same time, there are not enough research papers that would consider the population of Kazakhstan and the city as a single complex body, which is in permanent interaction and mutual influence, focusing on the history of everyday life. One of the methods of this study was the historical and genetic one, which allows us to consider the problems in its development and identify patterns. The use of the historicalcomparative method revealed differences in the development of Kazakhstani historiography. A comprehensive study of the urban environment in the historical context allows us to understand the nature of the changes in which society and the state existed, as well as the motives and aspirations of Kazakh intellectuals. One of the results was the identification of common patterns of Soviet and Kazakh historiography, where the city and the intelligentsia are the objects of research and are not considered in close connection and mutual influence. The designated problems did not receive due attention from researchers of both the Soviet and modern periods.

Southern Ukraine

The author "analyzes both the practice of writing "national histories" of cities in southern Ukraine, when the past of a particular locality is viewed from the perspective of a particular ethnic group and the attempt to overcome the limitations caused by this approach. The author notes that in the historiography of the late twentieth - early twentieth centuries. There is a tendency to increase the attention to the history of individual ethnic groups in the "urban space" of the region, to study the contribution of one or another ethnic community to the development of an individual city. It is stated that the thesis about poly-ethnicity and even multi-ethnicity of the "urban space" of Southern Ukraine has become textbook and is applied by almost all researchers of the urban history of the region. However, this does not mean that each of these researchers views the South as a frontier and the southern cities as "outposts" on it. This does not mean, however, that scientists are unanimous in their perception of the cities of the South as "melting pots", which offset the national features of the townspeople, replacing them with other identities.The author emphasizes that while in many cases the creation of "national histories" a particular southern Ukrainian city is considered unique (and often without proper correlation of this uniqueness with the situation in other cities), there is an increasing number of studies in which the development of a particular city (and accordingly its particular ethnic community) is viewed from the perspective of the overall urbanization process. It is noted that the approach to the past of Southern Ukraine as to the history of the Steppe Border, the frontier, which is to a large extent development and transfer to the local soil of FD Turner's ideas, is becoming more widespread. This approach is guided by the editorial board of the almanack "Frontier Cities", which places the spotlight on the city of the steppe space of Eastern Europe as a complex ethnocultural cross-border. It is conceptually important that the magazine is not limited to the coverage of the "fringe" of one city, thus placing the history of Southern Ukraine in a wider context. The international interdisciplinary project "Black Sea and it's port cities, 1774-1914, was an exemplary example of the application of such a concept in the South Ukrainian territories.

Critical Translation

This article is a critical translation of the “History of the Ardalānids.” In doing so, it hopes to make available to a wider academic audience this invaluable source on the study of Iranian Kurdistan during the early modern period. While a number of important texts pertaining to the Kurds during this era, most notably the writings of the Ottoman traveler Evliya Chalabi, focus primarily on Ottoman Kurdistan, this piece in contrast puts Iranian Kurdistan in general and the Ardalān dynasty in particular at the center of its historical narrative. Thus it will be of interest not only to scholars of Kurdish history but also to those seeking more generally to research life on the frontiers of empires.Keywords: Ẕayl; Ardalān; Kurdistan; Iran.ABSTRACT IN KURMANJIDîroka Erdelaniyan (1590-1810)Ev gotar wergereke rexneyî ya “Dîroka Erdelaniyan” e.

Stereotypical Image

The journal of Ksenofont A. Govorsky “Vestnik Yugo-Zapadnoy I Zapadnoy Rossii” (“South-West and West Russia Herald”) is known in the history of pubic thought as odious and reactionary. However, this stereotypical image needs some revision: the anti-Polish discourse on the pages of the magazine was not so much nationalistic as anti-aristocratic in nature. Considering the “Poles” primarily as carriers of the aristocratic principles, the editorial board of the magazine claimed to protect the broad masses of the people. Throughout its short history, the magazine consistently opposed both revolutionary and aristocratic propaganda. However, the regional limitations of the problems covered in the magazine did not give it the opportunity to reflect on the essential closeness of the revolutionary and reactionary principles. Yu.F. Samarin and I.S. Aksakov – whose conservative-democratic views, on the whole, were close to “Western Russianism”, promoted by the authors of “Vestnik Yugo-Zapadnoy I Zapadnoy Rossii”, managed to reach that goal.
