Ph.d.-afhandlingen er en undersøgelse af hjemfølelse i det moderne samfund. Projektet tager afsæt i en dialogisk eidetisk metode, hvorigennem det bliver det undersøgt, hvad det er at føle sig hjemme, og hvordan denne følelse etableres. Undersøgelserne finder sted ved fortsatte teoretiske og empiriske indkredsninger. I udgangspunktet er afhandlingen tværfaglig og trækker teoretisk og metodisk overvejende på den fænomenologiske tradition, især Edmund Husserls overvejelser om morfologisk vage fænomener, Martin Heideggers forståelse af befindlighed og Otto Friedrich Bollnow ideer om det levede rum. Der bliver også inddraget tilegnelsesteori, især på baggrund af Carl Friedrich Graumanns tanker om appropriation. Dertil kommer inddragelse af Freuds forståelse af uhygge. Empirisk er afhandlingen funderet på feltnoter og dybdeinterviews med personer i to grupper af cases, der henholdsvis skal indfange ordinære og ekstreme erfaringer med at bo. Der er således dels foretaget dybdeinterviews med en række mennesker, der er flyttet for nyligt, dels er der gennemført et feltarbejde, der strækker sig over fem måneder ved et socialt værested for hjemløse og andre socialt udsatte borgere i København. Feltnoter og transskriberede dybdeinterviews er med inspiration fra bl.a. Max van Manen blevet bearbejdet til 48 fænomenologiske beskrivelser, der – med et formmæssigt skønlitterært præg – betoner følelsesinvolverede situationer. Beskrivelserne er efterfølgende og på forskellig vis blevet analyseret og diskuteret, for derved i den eidetiske tradition at fremdrage og fremstille det invariante og væsentlige ved fænomenet. Som forståelsesgrundlag for etablering af hjemfølelse bliver der udviklet en teori, hvor menneskers tilegnelse af omgivelserne opdeles i tre former. Den første angår prægningen af omgivelserne, den anden handler om en tilvænning til omgivelserne, og den tredje giver sig udtryk i en mere eksistentiel forsoning, som rækker udover omgivelserne. Empirisk er det især de to første former for tilegnelse, som bliver belyst. På baggrund af undersøgelserne fremtræder især syv væsentlige træk ved hjemfølelse. Således er hjemfølelse særligt kendetegnende ved: fravær af stress, reduceret opmærksomhed, kontrol over nære omgivelser, frihed fra andres regler, anerkendelse af ens tilstedeværelse, mulighed for tilbagetrækning og brug af personlige ting.

This fact sheet introduces the issues raised by the appropriation and commodification of cultural heritage, outlining risks and
benefits and how also to avoid the pitfalls of misappropriation. While these issues are faced by all cultural groups, there is a
long history of Indigenous cultural heritage being used by non-Indigenous people for commercial and other purposes.

Las ciudades poseen una enorme cantidad de características que las definen en su identidad y la música es
tal vez una de las más claras expresiones culturales en ese sentido, pues es capaz de identificar una ciudad, nación,
región y una cultura. Sin embargo, ella no siempre está arraigada a los hábitos cotidianos de la vida urbana. En
general surge de forma excepcional y en determinados momentos de celebración. El caso de la Plaza São Salvador es
uno de los que ejemplos en que la música caracteriza fuertemente la identidad de un lugar, en este caso, el barrio de
Laranjeiras en Río de Janeiro. Esta columna presenta tres expresiones musicales propias de la cultura brasilera que
se manifiestan en la plaza y que funcionan como catalizadores de apropiación y convivencia en este espacio público:
el chorinho, el forró y la samba.
Las características físicas de la Plaza São Salvador hacen de este caso algo especial, pues se trata de un lugar
sencillo, relativamente pequeño, sin mayores pretensiones arquitectónicas, lo que reafirma la impresión de que son
las actividades musicales que en ella ocurren, el motivo principal de esta rica experiencia urbana es que es
reconocida por los habitantes como dimensiones fundamentales en la vida del barrio y de la ciudad.

Today's art, which is dominated by postmodernism, evolves into a completely different sense of art that reverses the system over its own weapon and changes all the known values of art. Postmodern art, which focuses on questions about what is the thing that is art, canalises itself into citations and compilations which turn into imitation, appropriation, pastiche or plagiarism. While postmodernism turns into a kind of citation and compilation aesthetics; imitation, which is at the centre of the questions related to what is the thing that is art, becomes the strategy of postmodernism. The article titled 'The Lord of the Postmodernity: Plagiarism' is about the transformation of an art object into an art material or the representation of it in today's sense of art which extends from imitation, appropriation and pastiche to plagiarism.

This paper describes three initial case studies of software use by teachers to support learners with special educational needs. In each case, the teachers were observed to be appropriating the software in ways that went beyond the intended use of the technologies. Appropriation has been previously explored as a positive process that provides benefits to users, yet these cases suggest that there may be specific benefits of appropriation for teachers in this context, and this is worthy of deeper investigation in the future.

This article discusses the use of films and practices concerning the institutional and cultural field at the University of Cartagena, where the film society is central, according to the experience the academic community had with the process of social appropriation
of cultural modernity. Through interviews, press and institutional archives and documentary analysis, the uses of film are traced at university level. In the end, it is suggested that the relationship between film societies and the University of Cartagena is significant
in terms of cultural background, but not necessarily in terms of teaching practices

The growth of the city and the urban reconfigurations have contributed to the redistribution and evolution of social and social practices in the urban public space in mass housing quarters, research on inhabited persons in the Constantine public space must therefore contribute to an upstream reflection on the process question of the modes of production, and downstream on changes in daily practices of the social groups that make and live the city. Confronting public policies and social intentions contained in the desired project participates in generating knowledge on the complex question of inhabiting it, and interactions between spaces designed-products and is received-delivered by users. This research is attempting to take a fresh look at nature's relationship between spatial reconfigurations and new socio-spatial practices in urban public spaces in mass housing quarters, considered as articulated and meaningful symbolic systems. It is a question of observing and understanding these two processes, and interpreting practices of appropriation and use of public spaces, with a particular interest given to the mode of inhabiting, with a view to optimal and adequate anticipation of the use by the planners, and designer in order to reduce the gap between designed and lived space.

This article identified the frames most frequently employed by two women's magazines, Cosmopolitan and Vogue, in referencing feminism in their online content. Four frames emerged: focus on women's agency, anti-demonization, trivialization, and complexity/confusion. Feminism was occasionally appropriated to sell high-end designer fashion, portrayed as a form of female empowerment. The findings are discussed in the context of their practical implications for magazine editors and theoretical implications for feminist scholars.

In this article I focus on the fashion industry's relationship to vintage garments as design inspiration and product prototype. I analyse how appropriation of vintage is rationalized in standard industry practice and how ethical boundaries are drawn and maintained between 'appropriation' and 'inspiration' in the creative process. When talking with designers the discussion of inspiration and appropriation quickly becomes a personal and subjective discussion about the integrity of the design process and labour. So any discussion of creativity and industry practices has a responsibility to address the rank and file workers who bring artistic visions to life. Interns and employees in the industry were expected to knock-off other designs and designers while their own creativity was stifled and/or exploited. The central contradiction that emerges from this research is how an industry known for its creativity and ingenuity – notably an industry that polices copyright infringements around the world – routinely engages in practices of forgery that weaken both its claims to authorship and the lucrative status of designer-as-artistic-genius. I contend it is crucial to explore these issues through the situated and local everyday practices in the fashion industry in order to understand how these contradictions are navigated and even made profitable.

This paper analyses architecture created through appropriating
existing materials while focusing on strategies of intertextuality.
It argues that the meaning of an architectural object does not
derive from itself, or its poetic concepts, but rather from its
relationship with other architectural objects, other art works as
texts, cultural texts, and everyday practices. My aim is to show
various theoretical problems of the theory of architecture and
art, which as a network of overlapping texts of culture, surround
the architectural production of Alexander Brodsky. Here I use
different and varied theoretical concepts, selecting two case
studies by Brodsky – The Pavilion for Vodka Ceremonies and
Rotunda – upon which the paper is based as an interdiscursive
study.

The Second World War still receives wide attention in official commemorations and political discussions often focusing on national historical experiences of war. But collective memories of World War II are also strongly influenced by a multitude of popular renditions from both home and abroad. Films and novels, comic books, and websites constitute an important but underestimated source of widespread narratives and images of war, with various perspectives appealing to large and diverse audiences. The wide variety of transnational war representations makes it possible for participants in contemporary historical culture to make their own individual selections, resulting in a hybrid historical narrative which helps them to appropriate the past. Their relationship with history is, somewhat paradoxically, characterized both by commitment and distance, while the public authority of historians has become less obvious. The fact that the War is now a moral benchmark as well as a lighthearted topic of entertainment, combining fact and fiction, stresses the need for new research into popular culture in order to provide a more balanced picture of the contemporary social significance of the Second World War.

As archaeology has matured as a discipline, a variety of challenges emerge about the purpose, methods, and products of the enterprise, including intellectual property (IP) concerns pertaining to the products of archaeological research and related heritage control issues. This chapter examines the complex nature of IP in the context of archaeology. The two central questions addressed are: 1) What constitutes intellectual property in the context of archaeology?; and 2) Who has the right to interpret, benefit from, or control access to information and objects from the past, whether they represent one’s own heritage or, more often, someone else’s. These questions are explored through a series of broad themes, coupled with specific examples to illustrate some of the methodological challenges, their consequences and how IP-related issues can be avoided or at least mitigated. An overarching consideration is the significant differences in how IP and intangible heritage are defined and distinguished in countries where the ancestral population relates to the dominant population today, as contrasted to those where the modern population has come from elsewhere.

Inspired by Said's methodology of contrapuntal reading, this article examines Edward Said's reference to Shakespeare's Hamlet (1604) in his memoir, Out of Place (1999) to shed light on his experiences of exile and displacement. We contend that Hamlet gives voice to Said's incestuous desire and his inability, like that of Hamlet, to live up to the standards required of him by his dominating father who, like Hamlet's father, is a ghostly figure that dominates Said's life even after his death. We argue that while Said points out that Shakespeare is an extension of imperial authority, his readings of Hamlet with his mother destabilises the colonising force of Shakespeare and displaces Western hegemony over performance and interpretations.

Representations of motherhood abound in almost all great literatures and cultures. While the traditional portrayal of motherhood followed a set pattern and favoured the mother-son relationships, the contemporary literature contests with and problematizes such conventional notions. Here, the author examines the contemporary delineation of motherhood as revealed in the two postmodern novels under consideration. These novels are themselves hypertexts—Toni Morrison’s Beloved being a historical appropriation of the African American slave trade history and J M Coetzee’s Foe being a literary appropriation of the 18th century British classic Robinson Crusoe. Within the broad scope of their textual appropriations, these novels also appropriate and problematize the traditional notions of motherhood through their strong female protagonists, namely, Sethe and Susan Barton.

The article offers a new theoretical and analytical perspective on the phenomenon of Edward Hopper’s popularity, contemporary reception and interpretation of his painting, with special focus on the iconic Nighthawks. It looks at selected exhibitions, critical statements and pictorial structure of the paintings, confirming Hopper’s images importance in today’s visual culture and points to their ‘desire’ to dialogize with other images and media, uncovers ‘differential specificity’ of this painting. The title phrase ‘The virtual Hopper’ relates to the potential of these paintings to activate visual memory and generate numerous images quoting Hopper’s works. Thus Hopper’s rich, disseminated afterlife in the age of ‘pictorial turn’ is rooted both in technological change causing the virtual life of images and the paintings’ properties, which is demonstrated by the close reading of Nighthawks in dialogue with its later visual transformations. Nighthawks turns out to be a meta-painting: ‘a painting about the circulation of images’.

This work is a practical reflection about the process of change of Köpi wasteland.While trying to discover the impact of the Berlin Wall today, we ended up discovering a hidden project. We found a place, an old military area, a footprint of the Berlin Wall. This area is defined today as a wasteland, a nowhere. We decided to study the area through a direct exploratory journey into the understanding of this place. Through our lived experience, the wasteland label of this nowhere place was tested through an exploring and questioning methodology. Little by little we discovered that this is not a wasteland. After studying the place it became obvious that the label wasteland is not accurate for it. So the development of a new word was needed. NowHERE is this word. This explains the paradox that wastelands confront in their everyday existence. The main issue with wastelands is not the lack of program as some may argue, but the lack of knowledge about these spaces as Secchi1 points out. What is really happening there?
One of the most important changes throughout this research process was the recognition of this space as a place.
Thus, the present work consists of a documentation of the “project” that is already there, explaining its “uncertain” status as a positive characteristic. Furthermore, reflects about the understanding of a project-place before the conventional developing phase of design of a project for a place, and how to bring these nowHERE qualities to design as a time continuity.
