This dissertation is a history of the change in form and location of ballparks that explains why that change happened, when it did, and what this tells us about broader society, about hopes and fears, and about tastes and prejudices. It uses case studies of five important and trend-setting ballparks to understand what it meant to go to a major league game in the twentieth century. I examine the Polo Grounds and Yankee Stadium in the first half of the twentieth century, what I call the classic ballpark era, Dodger Stadium and the Astrodome from the 1950s through the 1980s, what I call the multi-use ballpark era, and Camden Yards in the retro-chic ballpark era—the 1990s and beyond. I treat baseball as a reflection of larger American culture that sometimes also shaped that culture. I argue that baseball games were a purportedly inclusive space that was actually exclusive and divided, but that the exclusion and division was masked by rhetoric about the game and the relative lack of explicit policies barring anyone. Instead, owners built a system that was economically and socially stratified and increasingly physically removed from lower-class and non-white city residents. Ballparks’ tiers allowed owners to give wealthier fans the option of sitting in the seats closest to home plate where they would not have to interact with poorer fans who owners pushed to the cheaper seats further from the action. That masked exclusion gave middle- and upper-class fans a space that was comfortable and safe because it was anything but truly accessible to all Americans. I also argue that owners had to change the image of the ballpark and tinker with the exclusion there as fans’ tastes and their visions of what a city should look and feel like changed. / History

This thesis deals with perceptions of refuse as an asset or as a liability and the questions of waste management practices. The aim has been to gain new insights into Stockholm’s waste management in the period 1900–1975 by studying change and continuity in municipal practices and the notions that governed the municipal actors’ actions. The central questions are what factors determined the city’s waste management, and how an urban and local (environmental) problem was formulated and addressed by local authorities and political bodies. In answering, I have applied a theory of inertia in large technical–administrative systems and an analytical framework based on the concept of waste management regimes. During the period a resource recovery regime was replaced by an incineration regime. At the turn of the last century, the quantity and type of refuse produced by Stockholm’s rising population was compounded by increasing consumption. In order to modernize the capital’s waste disposal the city invested in resource recovery by introducing source separation. The fall in demand for fertilizer and a changing composition of the waste in the 1920s made it more difficult to get rid of refuse and led to an end of waste separation. Incineration came to be seen as the modern option and in 1938 Sweden’s first modern incineration plant for municipal waste was built outside Stockholm. The amount of waste produced by Stockholm nearly tripled between 1922, when it was at its lowest levels, and the mid-1960s. The late 1960s saw an even more dramatic increase. In the 1960s waste was discussed as an important environmental issue and in the 1970s recycling was implemented in small scale. At the national level recycling was adopted as a waste management aim in 1975.

This thesis examines the state-sponsored rise of local patriotism in the post-1961 period, interpreting this as part of the effort to strengthen popular support for and the legitimacy of the Soviet regime during the second phase of de-Stalinization. It shifts the analytical focus away from the Secret Speech of 1956, the time of Khrushchev’s full-scale assault on Stalin and his legacy, to the Twenty-Second Party Congress of 1961, the inauguration of a utopian and pioneering plan to build Communism by 1980. The thesis considers how this famously forward-looking programme gave rise to an institutionalized retrospectivism as Soviet policy makers turned to the past to mobilize popular support for socialist construction. It examines how this process played out in the Russian North West, where Soviet citizens were encouraged to turn inwards to examine their local history and traditions, and to reread these through the lens of Soviet socialism. The thesis takes as a case study the towns of Novgorod, Pskov, and Vologda, where the state-sponsored regeneration of local traditions significantly impacted on the self-perception of local communities. In the first part, I look at the strategies for representing and displaying local culture in pubic institutions: the textual treatment and symbolic ordering of urban space in local tourist guides; the heritage movement and the attribution of cultural value to certain objects from the local landscape; and the primary focuses of the exhibitive 'gaze' in local museums. The second part of the thesis shifts the focus from institutionalized culture to popular culture, examining the informal practices and oral traditions that exist alongside the authoritative discourses of social identity in the post-Soviet period. The popular interpretation of public sculpture, the collective imagination of urban space, and the 'common knowledge' of the past as it is articulated in oral narratives are the focuses of discussion.

Aborda a difusão da arquitetura moderna no Brasil, ao tratar desse processo na cidade de João Pessoa entre 1956 e 1974, por se revelar aí um período de intensa produção moderna apesar de seu limitado quadro de arquitetos. Objetiva explicar, a partir do vínculo entre arquitetura e cidade, quais foram os agentes promotores dessa arquitetura, como ela se manifestou no espaço urbano e como era então representada. Para isso se baseia em entrevistas com os arquitetos então atuantes e análises de projetos, obras construídas, artigos e publicidades de periódicos da época, ao enfocar edifícios públicos e privados e intervenções urbanísticas. Constata a diversidade de linguagens manifestadas, apesar da constante atenção à simplicidade e à economia construtiva, e a centralização em valores nãolocais, como também foi representada pela imprensa. / Diffusion of modern architecture in Brazil is accosted while this process is dealing with João Pessoa city between 1956 and 1974, because a period of intense modern production was revealed there in spite of its limited local architect\'s group. To explain, based on relation between architecture and city, what were the agents which promoted this architecture, how it was demonstrated itself in the urban space and how it was represented then are intended. The study is based in interviews with architects who were in activity at that moment and analyses of projects, constructions, articles and publicities of magazines and newspapers from that time while public and private buildings and urbanistic interventions are approaching. The diversity of languages manifested in spite of constant attention to simplicity and economy of construction and the focus on no-locals values, like it was also represented by press, are perceived.

Este trabalho pretende aclarar a participação de engenheiros e artífices alemães, na construção da cidade de São Paulo, entre 1820 e 1860. Para tanto, foram utilizados documentos referentes à imigração e obras públicas, como fontes principais da pesquisa. A imigração de povos germânicos para São Paulo teve três momentos importantes, até meados do século XIX. A primeira entrada de imigrantes alemães ocorreu em 1828 e foi subsidiada pelo governo imperial. Tinha por objetivo colonizar o interior, próximo à capital. A imigração de 1838, organizada por João Bloem e financiada pelo governo provincial, tinha o intuito de trazer artífices para construção de estradas e para trabalhar na siderúrgica de Ipanema, em Araçoiaba da Serra. Naquela ocasião, pretendeu-se montar uma companhia de operários, com esses profissionais. A terceira fase do processo imigratório de povos germânicos se deu na década de 1850, quando o governo provincial auxiliou financeiramente a Casa Vergueiro, para angariar agricultores, para as fazendas do interior do estado, e artífices, para montar a segunda companhia de operários da construção civil da província. Esses profissionais foram protagonistas da construção da cidade de São Paulo, na década de 1850, período em que se investiu consideravelmente em reformas urbanas na capital. Em termos quantitativos, é expressivo o número de alemães que atuaram na década de 1850 em São Paulo, no ramo da construção civil, trazendo melhoramentos urbanos importantes. O que de relevante foi feito nesse período, tanto no âmbito da infraestrutura urbana, como em arquitetura ou projeto, teve participação fundamental desse grupo de imigrantes. Podemos afirmar que engenheiros e artífices alemães atuaram em todos os setores da construção civil, em São Paulo, elaborando mapas da cidade, projetando edifícios públicos, propondo novas soluções para o abastecimento de água, construindo pontes, ou simplesmente trabalhando como artífices tecnicamente bem preparados. / This work intends to elucidate the participation of the German engineers and artificers in the edification of the city of São Paulo since 1820 to 1860. The main sources of the research were documents relating to immigration and public works. The immigration of the German people to São Paulo had three important moments, until the middle of the XIX century. The first German immigrants entrance happened in 1828 and was subsidized by the imperial government. It had the intent of colonizing the country - side close to the capital. The immigration of 1838, organized by João Bloem and supported by the provincial government had the purpose of bringing artificers for the construction of roads and to work in Ipanema siderurgy in Araçoiaba da Serra. At the time there was a plan of organizing a company of workers with these professionals. The third phase of the immigratory process of the German people happened in the decade of 1850, when the provincial government helped financially the Vergueiro House to recruit agricultural workers for the farms in the country - side of the state and artificers to organize the second company of civil architecture workers of the province. These professionals were the protagonists of the edification of the city of São Paulo in the decade of 1850, a time of great investments in urban reformation in the capital. In quantitative terms it is expressive the number of German workers who actuated in the decade of 1850 in São Paulo in the branch of civil architecture bringing important urban improvements. The participation of this group of immigrants in urban substructure, architecture and project in this period was considerable. We can asseverate that German engineers and artificers acted in all branches of civil architecture in São Paulo, elaborating maps of the city, projecting public buildings, presenting new solutions for the water provision, building bridges, or just working as artificers technically well prepared.

A presente pesquisa pretende demonstrar a análise dos crimes de agressão na cidade de São Paulo entre os anos de 1890 e 1920 a partir da perspectiva de uso do Sistema de Informações Geográficas (SIG). Para tanto, foram utilizadas como fontes os autos-crime de agressão do Arquivo do Tribunal de Justiça de São Paulo, especializando as agressões e estabelecendo análises cruzadas a partir da construção de um banco de dados. Nesse período, a cidade de São Paulo passava por intensas transformações físicas aliadas ao grande crescimento populacional provocado pela política de imigração do final do século XIX e início do século XX. A partir da análise dos diversos elementos trazidos pelos autos-crime, podemos perceber através da espacialização as dinâmicas sociais e urbanas dentro do espaço físico da cidade. O uso das geotecnologias permitem apresentar a outros pesquisadores as possibilidades de análise de uma fonte histórica tradicional aliando tempo e espaço na construção de mapas temáticos acerca das fontes primárias trabalhadas / This research aims to demonstrate the analysis of crimes of aggression in the city of São Paulo between 1890 and 1920 from the perspective of the Geographic Information System (GIS). For this purpose, the process of aggression of the file of The Court of Justice of São Paulo were used as sources, specializing aggressions and establishing cross-analysis from the construction of a database. During this period, the city of São Paulo was undergoing intense physical changes coupled with the high population growth caused by immigration politic of the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century. From the analysis of the various elements brought by self-murder, we can realize the social and urban dynamics within the physical space of the city through the spatialization. The use of geotechnologies allow to present for other researchers the possibilities of analysis of a traditional historical source by combining time and space in the construction of thematic maps about the primary sources worked

Cidades novas da fronteira do café: história e morfologia urbana das cidades fundadas por companhias imobiliárias no norte do Paraná. A presente tese concentra-se em desvendar a face urbana do universo pioneiro da fronteira do café no norte do Paraná. Especificamente, analisa o processo de formação histórica e a configuração formal de 96 cidades novas fundadas por 41 companhias imobiliárias entre 1923 e 1966. Através de uma abordagem interdisciplinar, procura evidenciar esta ímpar rede urbana considerando a dinâmica histórica que a gerou. A principal contribuição atém-se ao estudo da forma urbana dessas concepções. Sustenta-se uma reinterpretação demonstrativa de que em razão das características de sua gênese e do generalizado cuidado com específicos elementos morfológicos em somatória à observação zelosa das condicionantes do sítio singularizam-se dentro do cenário nacional e internacional desse movimento de reconfiguração territorial, ainda que compartilhem com premissas de desenho e preocupações comerciais universalmente consideradas. Para tanto, reuniu-se um conjunto inédito de fontes primárias que revelam o instante fundador dos núcleos urbanos e das empresas imobiliárias. Registra, dessa forma, o ímpeto do incipiente processo de urbanização na fronteira no norte do Paraná. / Coffee frontier new towns: urban history and morphology of towns settled by real State companies in northern Paraná State. This Thesis is about the urban face of pioneer universe of coffee frontier in northern Paraná State in Brazil. Specifically, it analyses the historical formation process and the formal configuration of 96 new towns settled by 41 real Estate companies between 1923 and 1966. Through an interdisciplinary approach it attempts to put in evidence this unique urban net considering the historical dynamic that generated it. The main contribution is the urban form study of these conceptions. It sustains a demonstrative reinterpretation of which on account of the characteristics of their origin and of the generalized care with specific morphological elements as well the zealous observation of the site restrictions they are singled out inside the national and international scenery of this movement of territorial reconfiguration, though they share with premises of drawing and commercial preoccupations universally respected. For so much, there was joined an unpublished set of primary sources that reveal the founding instant of these towns and companies. So it registers the impulse of the incipient process of urbanization in the north of Paraná State frontier.

Trata da formação e desenvolvimento de Ribeirão Preto sob a perspectiva da organização fundiária pós-Lei de Terras e sua conexão com o desenvolvimento do mercado de terras urbanas. A pesquisa realizada em documentos primários do Arquivo do Fórum de Ribeirão Preto tem sua base em litígios que circunscrevem a propriedade de datas urbanas: nunciação de obra nova, força nova e outros embargos. No contexto inicial, a Fábrica da Matriz foi o eixo comum entre estruturação fundiária e processo de urbanização. Naquele momento os fabriqueiros tiveram participação relevante nas estratégias jurídicas de legalização das posses territoriais, contudo, foram excluídos do gerenciamento da concessão de datas no patrimônio religioso, conduzidas pela Câmara Municipal. Confusão de instâncias e competências amplamente discutidas em juízo que em meio à falta de clareza sobre procedimentos de aforamento, ausência de regras, concessões dúbias ou em duplicidade, no limite expressaram a má fé de fabriqueiros, foreiros e vereadores, atestando claramente uma única coisa, tais terrenos possuíam valor de mercado, caso contrário sua posse, propriedade, forma de concessão e titulação não estariam em litígio. O amadurecimento paulatino do mercado de terras urbanas segue paralelo à ampliação do aparelho judiciário e aos desdobramentos jurídicos das formas de titulação de domínio. A expansão imobiliária que acompanha a sentença judicial de 1856, que ratificou a doação de uma gleba ao santo padroeiro, excede no final do século XIX sua delimitação física e passa a integrar um conjunto de ações coordenadas que atravessam as cadeias de circulação de capital ligado à economia agroexportadora, entre esses a concessão de privilégios para exploração de serviços de melhorias e infraestrutura urbana. Trata-se de uma faceta de grande dinâmica de organização capitalista da economia que demandou o apoio em investigações complementares. O estudo dessas pesquisas associado aos dados que os litígios judiciais forneceram sobre o objeto nos levou a exceder a hipótese de que os terrenos do patrimônio da matriz eram dotados de valor comercial. A conclusão é que se trata de um quadro maior que a existência de um mercado imobiliário precoce configurado pela negociação paralela de terrenos encoberta pelas praxes de aforamento. Nesse grande quadro de processos que se articulam destacamos as inúmeras engrenagens componentes, desde a produção e transporte de gêneros de subsistência e abastecimento que gravitou em torno da Corte e de áreas mineradoras, do ciclo açucareiro e cafeeiro, das tecnologias ligadas ao vapor, das infraestruturas, da organização da circulação de moeda e títulos, da política de imigração, dos fazendeiros formadores de fazendas, do movimento pró-imigração, dos loteadores urbanos, dos empresários de serviços de infraestrutura e ainda as astúcias de sujeitos anônimos que agindo isoladamente tentam de várias formas tirar proveito dessa conjuntura. É em meio a essa dinâmica que se inscreve a forma e as direções do crescimento da cidade. Nessa lógica, a tese contribui para o debate sobre o processo de urbanização da cidade de Ribeirão Preto analisado sob a ótica das relações de posse, propriedade do solo e a pré-existência de condições para a constituição de um mercado de terras urbanas. / The thesis addresses Ribeirão Pretos formation and development under the perspective of the Land Act of 1850 (Lei de Terras) that bonds ownership juridical organization process and the increase of an urban land market. The investigation, sustained in primary sources from The City of Ribeirão Preto Judicial Archives (Arquivo do Fórum de Ribeirão Preto), is based in disputes that comprehend urban property embargoes known as: Nunciação de Obra Nova and Força Nova. At first, the parochial church fabric (trusteeism) was the common axis amidst land regulation and urbanization process. At that moment churchwardens had relevant stake in strategies to legalize territorial possessions, however, were excluded from the religious grounds management taken hold by the City Council. Confusion of instances and jurisdiction widely discussed in court those amongst the lack of clarity on the aforamento procedures, the absence of rules, dubious and duplicate concessions, at the end clearly expressed the bad-faith of lay administrators, lessees and councilors, stating clearly a sole thing such land had market value, otherwise its possession, estate, modes of concession and title deed would not be in query. The gradual maturation of the urban land market runs parallel to the expansion of the judiciary branch and the legal deployment of property entitlement. The real estate expansion that begun after 1856s court judgment, which granted a glebe to the patron saint, by the end of the nineteenth century exceeded its physical boundaries and became part of a set of coordinated actions that traversed the chains of capital circulation linked to agro-export economy, among these the granting of urban services of infrastructure operating privileges. This facet shows a broader capitalist dynamic of the economy that demanded investigation support. The study of these support surveys associated with data provided by the judicial proceedings led us to surpass our initial hypothesis, that the parochial fabric grounds had commercial value traded in a parallel market disguised by the aforamento formalities. The conclusion is that there is more than the premature existence of a real estate market. In the wider picture of articulated progressions we feature the numerous gear components; from the production and transportation of genres of subsistence and supplies that gravitated around the Royal Court and mining areas to the sugar and coffee cycles, around technologies related to steam machinery, transportation infrastructure, economic organization for the circulation of money and bonds, across \"farmers\" specialized in growing farms, through the pro-immigration plans and policies, to the urban land, infrastructure and services entrepreneurs alongside anonymous individuals that acted in various forms to take advantage of this situation. The growth directions and shape of the city is tailored within this dynamic. In this sense, the thesis contributes to the debate on the early urbanization of the city of Ribeirão Preto analyzed analyzed from the perspective of the relations of ownership, land property and pre-existing conditions for the establishment of an urban land real estate market.

Esta dissertação aprofunda a pesquisa histórica sobre o bairro-jardim Vila Assunção, enquanto resultado de um projeto urbanístico e as transformações da paisagem urbana decorrentes do uso e da apropriação dos espaços projetados no bairro. Neste sentido, o objeto de estudo é o bairro-jardim Vila Assunção, localizado na zona sul de Porto Alegre, projetado em 1937, pelo Engº Ruy de Viveiros Leiria. Tomando como ponto de partida o projeto original, tem como objetivo compreender, através do projeto implantado no passado e da memória afetiva de seus moradores, as dinâmicas de apropriação e de ocupação do espaço, como processo histórico e determinante na formação da paisagem. Desta maneira, entende-se como problema central desta pesquisa compreender os motivos que levaram a escolha do modelo cidade-jardim, para a elaboração do projeto urbano da Vila Assunção e como se deu a sua ocupação. / This dissertation deepen the historical research about the neighborhood-garden Vila Assunção, as a result of urban design and the urban landscape changes arising from the use and appropriation of spaces designed in the neighborhood. In this sense, the object of study is the neighborhood-garden Vila Assunção, located on the South zone of Porto Alegre, designed in 1937 by Eng. Ruy de Viveiros Leiria. Taking as a starting point the original project, aims to understand, through the project deployed in the past and the affective memory of its residents, the dynamics of appropriation and occupation of the space, as historic and decisive process in the formation of the landscape. In this way, one understands as the central problem of this research to understand how and why the choice of a Garden City model, for the elaboration and of the urban design of the Vila Assunção and how its implementation occurred.
