Gros-Calin, La Vie devant soi, Pseudo and L'Angoisse du roi Salomon, the four books written and published by Romain Gary under the name Emile Ajar, clearly stand out from the author's other works. They can be distinguished by their unusual style which presents a multitude of literary devices that closely resemble mistakes and are seldom found in Gary's other writings. / The present study attempts to explain this particular style by the author's desire to create a truly "total novel" as discussed in Pour Sganarelle, an essay that presents Romain Gary's approach to the art of writing. The greater part of this analysis is dedicated to the examination of Ajar's style and will expose the lexical, logical and syntactic characteristics of the four works, in an effort to establish how these literary devices not only contribute to the creation of a particular literary style, but bring forth what can be defined as an entirely new form of literary language.

Urban cities with populations under 250,000 are looking at innovative approaches to revitalize their downtown's and commercial shopping districts. Since suburban expansion and the development of retail malls many urban cities have watched their business districts slowly close down. These urban cities have begun using enterprise zones and tax incentives to attract and maintain business developments. Unfortunately most of these cities are still losing new development to larger urban cities because they also offer enterprise zones, tax incentives and cultural entertainment. Most industries that relocate or open new headquarters in urban cities base their site selection on the best development incentives and cultural entertainment for their middle and upper management. The City of Gary is an example of an urban city with a population under 250,000 and attempting to compete with other urban cities. Their comprehensive plan sets forth guidelines for change and orderly growth management affecting land uses and infrastructure, and for the past 15 years Gary has improved on the possibility of attracting diversified industries, but they are still losing to the surrounding cities within the Northwestern Region. It is the hope that the development of a cultural entertainment district known as the Englehart Arts District will further transform the City of Gary to the forefront. Indiana University School of Arts, Emerson School of Performing Arts, and local arts organization within the city of Gary are very eager to be centralized in one area, and feel that the Englehart Arts District would be a great factor in the future growth and education of the city. Upon research of cultural entertainment within Northwest Indiana, recent data proved that Gary is losing millions of dollars to surrounding cities and not attracting the businesses and industries that could make the city more attractive to consumers and developers.The intent of this creative project is to guide the development of the Englehart Arts District in an older shopping district through the use of special district zoning. Special District Zoning will create a cohesive mixed use area combining the arts, entertainment, retail and offices. The Englehart Arts District will have the potential of becoming a place of attraction, and contribute to the city's goals within the comprehensive plan. / Department of Urban Planning

This project reveals the potential for new connections and an enhanced sense of place identity to serve as catalysts for the revitalization of the derelict urban environment. Gateway Park in Gary, Indiana was chosen for the project site and has been redesigned and expanded in order to bridge the gap between downtown Gary and the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Particular attention has been paid to connecting the project site to proposed regional greenway systems while illustrating the natural and cultural heritage of Gary. Additionally, the project site has been designed to fit within the framework of Northwest Indiana's Marquette Plan and transit-oriented development vision, while incorporating diverse programming to attract a wide variety of site users. The final design proposal rests on a historiography of the project site, a literature review investigating place identity and 'placemaking,' a study of relevant precedent projects, and extensive inventory, analysis, and concept development. / Department of Landscape Architecture

The objective of this study is to understand why planning and development strategies have failed to address and prevent the unprecedented conditions of historical social fragmentation, economic decline, and environmental destitution currently present in the city of Gary. Evidence suggests a complicated set of historical structural and cultural factors have contributed to the severe environmental, social, and economic distress and disinvestment seen in inner-city neighborhoods throughout the United States, specifically Gary, Indiana. Understanding and reflecting on the historical development discourse within American Capitalism and the social construction of race as contributors to the current conditions of Gary, only then can planners consider the adverse effects of this discourse in present environmental, social and economic conditions. Ultimately through utilizing ethnographic methods, a crucial missing element in planning strategies, opportunities for planning and development in post-industrial Gary, Indiana are explored as an approach to planning in the absence of development. / Review of related literature -- Discourse of development within American capitalism -- Social construction of race in Gary -- The potentials and limitations of planning? / Department of Urban Planning
