Once a garden city bustling with many heritage structures, Bangalore is now a busy software hub with heritage structures pulled down one by one, losing its threads to past. Of the few heritage structures that remain, the concept of “Adaptive reuse” has been nothing short of a revelation. The term adaptive reuse maybe defined as „a process of reusing an existing building for a purpose other than which it was originally built or designed for; but when heritage buildings are to be considered adaptive reuse should be a process of preserving and restoring the building with minimal changes and for a use that does not effect the cultural and historical background of the building.‟ This research explores the effectiveness of adaptive reuse in preserving the heritage value of the buildings in Bangalore, considering the case of Samsung Opera House, a century old structure, located at the main junction of Brigade road. The paper will focus on how this structure has been restored and how the building has been repurposed as a showroom. It will also draw similarities and how other heritage buildings in Bangalore have been reused to meet the needs of the current day using few case studies like Cinnamon Boutique. This paper will focus on documenting the heritage building- Opera House and to frame reuse guidelines for similar buildings and also the efforts in doing an adaptive reuse.

This chapter investigates one phase of Mai Zetterling’s directorial career. Although she is often described as a Swedish woman director, Zetterling’s films were made in several different countries. She lived the majority of her life abroad, mainly in the UK and France, and had a career independent of national borders. Through brief case studies of three films – The Prosperity Race (1962), “The Strongest” (segment of Visions of Eight, 1973), and Scrubbers (1982) – this chapter explores both how Zetterling negotiated her own (trans)nationality in order to find opportunities for filmmaking and how these three films in different ways make use of space and place. As an expatriate Swedish woman, she explains Swedish welfare society to British citizens; elects to focus her segment of the Olympics documentary on weightlifters rather than “feminine” sports; and aligns herself with British film traditions to create an intense mix of savage realism and hallucinatory surrealism in Scrubbers.

In both China and Greece, history initially emerged as a mode of discourse closely related to the state. With the rise of comparative global history, however, historians have severed this link, providing scholars of gender with novel tools and perspectives for investigating their subject. Specialists in trans-national history have reflected deeply on the uses and methodology of their pursuit, and their conclusions provide useful guidance for historians of gender who venture beyond national borders. Three studies comparing gender conditions in China with ancient Greece and Persia provide practical case studies on how this sort of research can be conducted, and what sort of contributions it might yield.

The focus of this article is on monuments to national heroes built at the initiative of the Bulgarian nation state, political party or migrant community beyond the national borders. Three analytical perspectives are presented: geographical, cultural and social, given that monuments are both physical objects and represent non-physical relations. The place of a monument is essential in the interpretation of its function, reflecting intercommunity negotiations and the views of community elites regarding the place of the in the host society. Another basic issue is who Bulgarian national heroes are abroad, who has selected them, and what means and procedures brought them there. Our hypothesis connects the core of the national celebrations (both pantheon and calendar) within the national territory with its periphery in what is a dynamic system. These reflections are illustrated with three case studies: Botev’s monument in Beijing, Vazov’s bust in Moscow and Levski’s memorial plate in Yeniköy (Romania). An inventory and a map of all the monuments dedicated to these three figures are attached.

Terrorist Violence

This chapter examines how globalization has contributed to the growth of terrorism as a global phenomenon. It considers whether global terrorism is the price states pay for entry into and continued access to a globalized system, why violent Islamic extremism continues to be the primary motivator for global terrorist violence, and whether freedoms should be restricted to ensure greater security against the threat of global terrorism. The chapter first looks at the definitions of terrorism before tracing the transformation of terrorism from a transnational to a global phenomenon. It then explores the role of technology in terrorism and ways of combating terrorism. Two case studies are presented, one dealing with three generations of violent Islamic extremists and the other with the 2016 Lahore terrorist attack. There is also an Opposing Opinions box that asks whether states targeted by terrorism should aggressively address the threat beyond their national borders.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.
