När metropoliten flög över Atlanten och blev kosmopolit : Woody Allens skildring av europeiska storstäder / When the metropolitan flew over the ocean and became a cosmopolitan : Woody Allens depiction of European citys

Berg, Andrea January 2012 (has links)
Min uppsats handlar om Woody Allens skildring av staden. Det är inte New York denna uppsats handlar om, utan om de europeiska storstäderna London, Barcelona, Paris och Rom. I dessa städer har Woody Allen spelat in fem filmer. Dessa filmer är Match Point (2006), Scoop (2007), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Midnight in Paris (2011) och To Rome With Love (2012). Det ryktas även att hans nästa filmprojekt kommer att utspela sig i en europeisk storstad.  Varje film visar utvalda sidor av respektive stad. Allen väljer att visa utvalda sidor av staden, som utgör vilket uttryck staden ger till filmens berättande. Därav får åskådaren motsvarande intryck av hur Woody Allen ser på staden. Exempelvis handlar dessa val om hur filmen kartlägger staden, hur karaktären förändrar sina åsikter när den befinner sig i staden, och hur moraliska imperativ i storstadsturism framkommer genom filmen. Allen har nämligen använt sig både av ikoniska byggnader som indikerar respektive stad, som Eiffeltornet för Paris, men samtidigt visat mindre kända miljöer av respektive stad. Han har med andra ord varvat klichéklassade stadsvyer med mer personliga vyer av andra, mindre kända, delar av respektive stad.                       Trots att de första filmerna Match Point (2006) och Scoop (2007), som utspelas i London, inte nödvändigtvis handlar om turism, handlar de ändå om en amerikanska som besöker en icke-amerikansk stad, på andra sidan Atlanten. Samtliga filmer jag undersöker i denna uppsats handlar om olika typer av amerikaner som besöker europeiska städer. På olika sätt påverkas nämligen dessa amerikaner av respektive stad. Dessa sätt jämförs med hur med 1920-talets stadssymfonier och 1950-talets ”runaway romances”. I urvalda filmer från 1950-talet fungerade nämligen Europa som en tillflyktsort för amerikaner som ville hitta sitt jag och inleda affärer. Jag har kommit fram till att identitetssökande och otrohet i Woody Allens filmer är mer legitimerade än det var på 1950-talet. Dessutom liknar Allens Parisfilm och Romfilm stadssymfonier från 1920-talet. Dessa filmtrender från 1900-talets första hälft hänger då ihop med Allens filmer från 2000-talet. Detta förklaras i en djupgående närläsning av Woody Allens sätt att skildra europeiska städer. I denna analys dissekeras turistbegreppet, hur den skiljer sig från resenärsbegreppet och hur tiden har förändrat hur amerikanska turisterna förhåller sig till respektive stad och invånarna i respektive stad.

A Canadian traveller's tale: Lillian B. Allen and documenting travel, 1927-1979

Sadler, Tara 12 September 2014 (has links)
Although archives hold vast amounts of travel records, these records have been virtually ignored in the archival literature. Thus research is needed on contextualizing them for the various functions archivists perform with such contextual knowledge. Other academic fields have produced much work on the history of travel, but little as yet on the records of travel. Within archival literature, journal articles have been published on documents created as a consequence of travel, but they have seldom been studied within the context of the history of travel. This thesis demonstrates the importance of historical context in the examination of travel records through a case study analysis of the travel records created between 1927 and 1979 by Lillian Beatrice Allen, a University of Manitoba professor, a photographer, and a frequent traveller. This thesis argues that the full value of travel records cannot be obtained if they are studied outside the context of the history of travel and of the particular travellers who created them. Allen’s travel records will be contextualized within the tradition of travellers’ records, and more specifically those of women travellers. By evaluating not just what she says in her travel records, but also how she records them, what types of travel records she keeps, what that says about her, and what that says about travel records and women travellers in general, I hope to demonstrate the value of applying the archival perspective to the history of travel and travel records. Archivists, as those responsible for the care and contextualization of such research tools, are well-placed to play a key role in illuminating the history of travel records and thus provide better archival representations of them and thereby better service to researchers. Also, although archivists have traditionally aimed to be neutral gatekeepers of information, this study of Allen’s travel records demonstrates the effect archivists can have (indeed must have) on the types and amounts of records kept to ensure that valuable sources of information are not lost to future generations.

Level of citizen participation and representation in the Allen County 2000 comprehensive planning process

Larson, Paul M. January 1998 (has links)
This thesis examines a comprehensive planning model to determine the level of citizen participation attained in the process and to test the degree of representation of the planning policies contained in the plan as they relate to the attitudes and opinions of citizens. An evaluation questionnaire, developed from the Arnstein definition of citizen participation, was used to determine the level of participation. A survey was used to collect citizen opinions and attitudes which were compared to planning policies contained in the plan. Differences represent a lack of citizen representation. / Department of Urban Planning
