The City

Nearly a dozen and a half different humanities, natural and technical sciences have chosen the city as a subject of research and, within their subject areas, have developed theoretical approaches to defining the livesustaining activities of the city. All spheres of the city’s existence are interconnected, at least to some extent, by a complex system of city legal relationships and are combined into a single complex, dynamic, controversial, but rather stable structure. In other words, we can, by means of law, investigate the whole (syncretism) of various scientific approaches to the analysis and description of the system of life of the city and its inhabitants. The author investigates various approaches to the concept of syncretism, including the essence of syncretism in legal context. The concept of syncretism is applied to the city in order to present it as a legal framework linking the knowledge of the city of various humanities into the system of social relations in order to explore the main spheres of the population’s life. The paper investigates some basic provisions of the theories of the city of such humanities as history, sociology, philosophy, psychology, economics, urban studies and political science as a matter of law. The purpose of the study is to form a new, comprehensive legal approach to the understanding of the essence of urban life and urbanization processes within the framework of legal urbanology with due regard to the totality of theoretical and practical knowledge about cities accumulated in some humanities. This study implements an interdisciplinary approach based on the use of sources from different fields of scientific knowledge on the basis of general scientific and private scientific research methods (analysis, synthesis, deduction, hypothetical, statistical, comparative-legal, and prognostic methods). Analysis of legal aspects of the main approaches of some humanities to the study of the city shows their syncretic character and the possibility of forming a generalized legal theory of the city within the framework of legal urbanology as a branch in legal science on the basis of fundamental and applied interdisciplinary studies of the city.

This paper seeks to better understand the lively city with reference to recent analysis of sonic affects, bodily sensations and emotions. The notion of ‘hearing contacts’, as it is usually deployed in discussion of the lively city, emphasises the social interactions with other people in a rather narrow anthropocentric way. Yet, it overlooks the diversity of felt and affective dimensions of city sounds. This paper takes up this challenge by bringing Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of territory into conversation with Greimas’s semiotic square. In doing so, this paper offers a compelling theoretical framework to better understand the sonic sensibilities of listening and hearing to provide a clearer sense of how people decide to attach specific meanings to sound, and which ones they do not. The paper first reviews various theoretical approaches to sound and the city. Next, the paper turns to an ethnographic account of sound and city-centre urban life recently conducted in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. This research seeks to better understand the ways bodily dispositions to sonic affects, materials and cultural norms helped participants territorialise the city centre, distinguishing ‘energetic buzz’, ‘dead noise’, ‘dead quiet’ and ‘quiet calm’.

Abstract The entry into force of new laws governing electronic communications pose new challenges to electronic communication with the judiciary authorities and arise practical issues with its proof. The following article aims to summarize the results of theoretical and practical analysis of the current legal framework on the proof of electronic communications in our country and its regulation in the Tax and Social Insurance Procedure Code. In legal theory, there is a common understanding about the document and its essence, as a means of proof and it is that the document is a thing on which with the written or electronic symbol it is a materialized statement. The electronic document is a means of proof which, by virtue of law, has the same (equal) evidentiary effect, as the written document. The evidentiary effect of the document does not depend on whether the document is written or electronic, but whether it is accompanied by the signature of its author and, above all, the capacity of the publisher compiling the document

The Future

Norbert Elias is one of the great scholars who calls attention to the need for interdisciplinary studies related to actual societies’ challenges. He was one of the precursors of ‘Figurational Sociology,’ through which human relations are studied in a processual way (micro and macro-social aspects). Elias's focus was to understand these concepts, not as a state of fixed and immutable things, but to understand them in terms of their process. In this report, it is pointed out that the ‘civilizing process’ ended up imposing on individuals a greater number of activities as well as greater dependence and complexity in the social relations network. Such factors required a common denominator to regulate such relationships. In this case, the denominator was called ‘time’. By studying time, we may contribute to correct this erroneous image of a world with watertight compartments such as nature, society, and individuals. These are mixed and interdependent and require an interdisciplinary approach. Interdisciplinary studies of time and what to expect of the future are still waiting to being done.

The article presents an analysis of research on the issues of studying the social and legal aspects of the construction of religious sites in Russia. The following groups of works on this issue have been identified: 1) historical and cultural, social and philosophical, and philosophical and cultural studies that focus on the connection of religious construction with the history of culture, social transformations, forms and strategies of management; 2) publications, the subject of which is the peculiarities of the formation of the legal basis for the construction of religious objects in Russia; 3) studies that examine the construction of religious buildings in the context of correlating the prospects for the development of Russian legislation and the tasks of improving the urban environment; 4) works that determine trends in the development of social concepts of urban planning, including the construction of religious buildings; 5) publications related to specific issues of legal regulation of the religious use of land and the construction of religious buildings. The article examines works, the subject of which is both the problem of finding the theoretical foundations for the development of this area of law, and the issues of the practice of law enforcement in solving the problems of the religious building’s construction in Russia. The right to the city concept (H. Lefebvre, D. Harvey) can serve as a theoretical basis for the formation of the urban environment, the development of social relations in the city, prevention and overcoming of urban conflicts. It can be implemented during reception in the legal sphere, what requires to determine the essence of the right to the city within the framework of jurisprudence, to specify the subjects of this law, to develop ways of legislative consolidation and enforcement mechanisms.

Denne artikel stiller spørgsmålstegn ved, hvorvidt sociale relationer er så lidt knyttet til og påvirket af geografi, som det ofte angives, eller om vi med sådanne antagelser overser væsentlige dimensioner omkring lokalt fællesskab og identitet. Og i forlængelse heraf vil artiklen forsøge at nærme sig et svar på, hvordan vi kan forstå lokalt fællesskab i det senmoderne byliv. Med udgangspunkt i resultaterne fra en empirisk undersøgelse af lokale fællesskaber i tre kvarterer i Aalborg By har denne artikel til hensigt at diskutere den gængse sociologiske opfattelse af relationen mellem geografisk lokalitet og fællesskab i det moderne samfund. Implikationer og mulige retninger for fremtidig forskning vil også blive diskuteret. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Anja Jørgensen: Local Communities in the Late Modern City According to modern sociological theory, social relations are no longer primarily linked to and influenced by geography. This article questions this assumption and asks if we are overlooking vital dimensions of community, identity and sense of belonging by adhering to this idea. It attempts to develop an answer to understanding local community in late modern urban life. It is based on a study of local community in three parts of the city of Aalborg in northern Denmark. It argues that local communities can arise if people feel the need for them or are provoked. It also argues that it is important to see how local communities vary according to socio-economic factors that divide or unite the population. Finally it is important to analyze the extent to which residents live their daily life in the local community. Key words: Local community, belonging, late modern communities, neighbour relations, the late modern city.

The material discussed in this chapter concerns the experiential qualities and representations of how urban dwellers may occupy the city. The chapter aims at a better understanding of the multisensory city and at exploring how its mediations could add to representing, describing and designing city spaces in different and innovative ways. By advancing a new spectrum of experience and engagement, designers have the potential to shape the cities that are re-presented. Currently, there is a gap between the ‘planned' and the ‘lived' city and a lack of focus on socio-spatial practices often prevents a ‘potential' city from becoming an ‘effective' city. In order to bridge the gap, we can read the city in a different way, paying more attention to actual patterns of activity, in sensory terms. To do this we must look to multi- and interdisciplinary studies with a spatial focus on different sensory dimensions and urban life.

This article considers the state of social capital in a large industrial city. The author aims to show the conditions of formation of social capital in the urban community, to assess the level of accumulated social capital, and to identify some of its external effects. The object of the study is Cherepovets, a large industrial center of the Northwestern Federal District, which received the status of the territory of advanced socio-economic development (TASED) in 2017. The urban environment creates conditions for the formation of social capital. As a network of social relations formed based on interaction and trust, the social capital contributes to the development of the urban community. The analysis of its condition is important for management decisions, identifying those social strata that are willing to participate in urban life. This article relies on surveys conducted in 2017 and 2019 in Cherepovets. The study used the methodology for measuring the social capital of the urban community, developed earlier by the research team with the participation of the author. The predominance of the carriers of social capital of its closed type, as well as the presence of a certain proportion of respondents with social capital of the open type and focused on innovative forms of behavior, which greatly contributes to the new status of the city. The focus on unification will be the setting that will allow the implementation of many urban projects and strengthen the degree of civic participation of citizens. In addition, the study has showed correlations characterizing the respondents’ social capital and its locus of responsibility. The author emphasizes the need to increase the level of trust to local authorities, which can contribute to the emergence of new approaches to the communication of power to the people, expanding the radius of trust, establishing the so-called weak ties, the emergence of new and strengthening old an effective social projects to address topical issues of concern to most citizens.
