The City

Выполнен анализ научных, философских, художественных произведений, предметом осмысления которых является содержание понятия «город». Город в целом и его архитектурно-средовая составляющая в частности представляют явления не только материальной, но и духовной культуры: они выражают ценности современного общества, транслируют определённую информацию, формируют устойчивые образы в коллективном сознании. Цель работы – выявление тех аспектов информационной составляющей городской среды, которые наиболее читаемы и применимы в градостроительном контексте на уровне практики. Основное внимание уделено восприятию человеком природных ландшафтных характеристик городской среды и неотъемлемых элементов планировочной структуры города, которые присутствуют в нём с древних времён до наших дней в самых разных культурах. Методика исследования включает изучение библиографических источников и интернет-ресурсов, анализ и синтез теорий, а также частично герменевтический и феноменологический методы философского познания. Значения природных и материальных элементов городской среды, закреплённые в человеческом сознании и культурном пространстве, отражены через понятия архетипа и городского текста. В результате работы обосновано наличие смысловой ткани города как категории, требующей изучения и принятия во внимание в процессе проектирования в целях создания устойчивой городской среды, соответствующей как параметрам физического комфорта, так и параметрам человеческого сознания, и универсальным культурным ценностям. Значимость исследования состоит в том, что синтез знаний в области нематериальной природы города будет способствовать развитию целостного осмысленного ценностно-ориентированного подхода к архитектурно-градостроительному проектированию.

MONUMENT TO EMPEROR ALEXANDER II IN ZLATOUST: A CASE OF PROVINCIAL COMMEMORATION IN PRE-REVOLUTIONARY RUSSIA

Great Reforms

The article examines the commemorative practices of residents of the Zlatoust district of the Ufa province, aimed at perpetuating the memory of Emperor Alexander II. The stages of the commemorative process are highlight-ed: identification of initiators and formulation of motives for the monument's installation, formation of a Committee, collection of donations, construction of the monument, and its opening. In 1881, former craftsmen of the Zlatoust factory initiated the installation of a monument to the deceased monarch. The monument was an expression of grati-tude for the Great reforms, namely the abolition of serfdom and compulsory labor in factories. The process of in-stalling the monument took ten years, which was caused by the lack of experience of farmers in implementing such memorial projects, ambitious plans, high cost of the project, the lack of large donors and orientation to local commu-nities within the County with timid attempts to reach the level of the province. Functionally, the monument became the center of commemorative practices, repeated actions of commemoration of the deceased Emperor and broadcast-ing the image of the monarch with the inclusion of regional specifics. The installation of the monument to the Em-peror in Zlatoust served as an example for other cities: copies of the monument were installed in Yekaterinburg, in the village of Sorochinsky in the Buzuluk district of the Samara province, and there were plans to install the monu-ment at the Miass plant. The monument to Alexander II in Zlatoust was demolished shortly after the establishment of Soviet power in the city in the summer of 1919. Studying the memorialization of Alexander II in pre-revolutionary Russia, determining the geographical and ethnic boundaries of the area of monuments, as well as interpreting the symbolic content of «places of memory», is useful for studying the process of forming national identity.

The City

A paisagem urbana é constituída por múltiplas camadas de significados. Considerá-la como um texto nos permite acessar o conteúdo simbólico por meio do qual as culturas, sejam elas dominantes ou alternativas, reproduzem suas normas, seus valores e concepções de mundo. Nessa abordagem, a própria paisagem material, em todas as suas formas de expressão, configura-se como um texto que deve ser detalhadamente lido e interpretado. As evidências do significado das paisagens são encontradas também nos produtos culturais e estéticos produzidos no âmbito da sociedade: na pintura, na literatura, na música, nos filmes. Estes últimos têm um importante papel na estruturação das geografias contemporâneas. Dentro desse contexto, esse trabalho discute, por meio da análise do discurso e de uma abordagem interpretativa, a Recife/PE construída no filme Febre do Rato (2012), dirigido pelo cineasta pernambucano Cláudio Assis, na intenção de desvelar a imagem da cidade de Recife compreendendo os significados expressos na sua paisagem fílmica.Palavras-chave: Paisagem. Significado. Símbolo. Recife. Febre do Rato.INTERTEXTUALITY IN THE LANDSCAPE: RECIFE’S FILMIC CITY IN FEBRE DO RATOAbstract: The urban landscape is constituted by multiple layers of meaning. Considering it as a text, allows us to access the symbolic content through which the dominant or alternative cultures reproduce their norms, values and worldviews. In this approach the material landscape itself, in all its forms of expression, appears as a text that must be read and interpreted at length. Evidences of the meaning of landscapes are also found within cultural and aesthetic products in the society: in painting, in literature, in music and in films. The latter play an important role in the structuring of contemporary geographies. Within this context, this study presents a discourse analysis, and an interpretative approach, of the city of Recife/PE presented in the film Febre do Rato (2012) directed by the Brazilian filmmaker Claudio Assis, with the intention to reveal the image of Recife through the understanding of its filmic landscapes. Keywords: Landscape. Meaning. Symbol. Recife.

The City

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
