<p>U radu su istražene brojne i različite veze između grada i medija filma.<br />Razmatrano je kako su filmski prikazi urbanih pejzaža postali njihov<br />integralni, neodvojivi deo i kako navedeno utiče na promene u sagledavanju<br />arhitektonskih prostora i urbanog okruženja, kao i na promene u načinu na<br />koji se sa istima stupa u interakciju. Kroz ispitivanje prikaza gradova u<br />filmovima, istraživani su tokovi urbanog razvoja i analizirane su i<br />interpretirane društveno-prostorne promene koje se odvijaju od početka XX<br />veka do danas u velikim evropskim i severnoameričkim gradovima.</p> / <p>The thesis explores numerous and different relations between the city and<br />film medium. It has been considered how cinematic images of urban<br />landscape have become their integral, inseparable part, and how this<br />influences changes in the perception of architectural spaces and the urban<br />environment, as well as changes in the way in which people interact with<br />them. By examining the representation of cities in films, urban development<br />trends have been studied and socio-spatial changes taking place in large<br />European and North American cities from the beginning of the 20th century<br />to the present day have been analyzed and interpreted.</p>

This thesis explores the lived experience of race as told through narratives of the city. It draws on photo diaries, observations and qualitative interviews with 32 people aged between 20 and 30 years old in three areas of Manchester. It examines how discourses, which construct UK cities as tolerant and multicultural spaces, are reproduced by the respondents and yet are contradicted by their everyday experiences. It argues that narratives that actively silence race, for example through notions of tolerance and colour-blindness, obscure the ways that people are differentially positioned and makes it difficult to name difference and name racism. The thesis explores a series of dilemmas that form part of the struggle to reconcile multiple and often contradictory levels of experience and situates these within the broader political context. The thesis engages with discussions around what have been broadly defined as ideas of ‘post-race’. It argues that the city becomes a useful avenue through which to direct this discussion, because it acts as a location in which race is imagined in conflicting ways; simultaneously as a site of segregation and conflict and cosmopolitanism and ‘mixing’.The thesis explores how people talk race through their representations of different spaces of the city. It argues that people’s stories about their relationship to place help make perceptible the different ways that they deal with difference. Race is silenced in narratives of place, emerging primarily through coded references to class and criminality, except when it is articulated with exotic and ‘sympathetic’ representations of the ‘ethnic’ or ‘migrant’ neighbourhood, or with a white underclass. It also examines how, within these narratives, people talk about knowing others that they emphasise are racially or ethnically different. Notions of tolerance and colour-blindness are invoked throughout these narratives and used to suggest that they are emblematic of a new generation. The thesis argues that the respondents' narratives resonate with national discourses of multiculture that imagine liberal spaces of cosmopolitanism and, simultaneously, silence inequalities and exclusion. The central problem is that these discourses and processes of silencing do not take account of the meanings of race and how people are differentially positioned. Consequently, they disable questions about the significance and the effects of race. This has implications for how racism can(not) then be named. People subjected to racism are, instead, under pressure to assimilate and conform to the behavioural norm. The thesis argues that respondents’ narratives of the everyday can, therefore, be interpreted as a form of orientalism (Puwar 2004). They are indicative of the kind of multiculturalism that ‘tolerates’ and ‘bestows rights’ on the racialised Other, but does nothing to demythologise the Other, or engage with the needs of minorities (Amin, 2010). The façade of ‘racial etiquette’ when it is constructed as such, thus implies a ‘refusal to understand’ (Foucault 1978), because to do so would necessitate confronting the currency of racism and the fact of white privilege.

Albert Cossery, known as the ‘story teller of Cairo’, weaves tales of the marginalized living in a city of the global South whose geographies have been impacted by colonial and neocolonial legacy. Cairo’s city and economic spaces have often been theorized as determined and dominated by the forces of neoliberalism, an approach that obscures the experience of residents who contest and evade these forces daily. For example, in “Les Couleurs de l’infamie”, the main character is a robin-hood archetype that revels in observing the resourcefulness of the city’s residents. ‘Alternative’ occupations and spatial uses abound: an unemployed philosopher teaches secretly out of the family crypt and a man has created his own trade in helping old women cross dangerous streets in the city. This paper approaches literature and the act of writing as being more-than-representational. It is a literary geography that considers how the city spaces and economic possibilities of Cairo are performed by Cossery’s writings, and how this performance can be considered an act of resistance.

The master’s dissertation is devoted to the researching of contemporary art in the city space. Yekaterinburg is the illustrative material for the theme of the research. The work is focused on the analysis of the forms and ways of existence for actual art practices in the city, as well as the establish an adequate research tools for their comprehension. The author turns to art history discourse, post-non-classical aesthetic theory and system approach and formulates basic methods of analysis of art practices in the city. Considering the city as an aesthetic phenomenon, the author shows the special role of the art-practices in shaping the image of the city and its experience by its citizens. The author insists on consideration art-practices in the city as partisipative art, which interacts with the viewers, including them in the space of artistic expression, as well as in the space of people's interactions with each other. The work reveals aesthetic and cultural transformations of the city with contemporary art. / Магистерская диссертация посвящена изучению актуального искусства в пространстве города, конкретизируя их функционирование в Екатеринбурге.

2008年台北市電影委員會的成立，及台北市文化局補助電影製作案的推行，象徵著台北市政府對於電影作為城市行銷方式採取的積極作為。本研究試圖探究此一因應全球化所引發的城市行銷風潮，在政府正視與政策鼓勵的大環境影響之下，電影中的台北城市空間呈現之樣貌。透過回顧文獻與資料蒐集、分析主要文本，及相關之深度訪談等方式，以台北市文化局補助電影製作案之影片為研究對象，進行分析探討。 　　研究顯示，台北市政府文化局行銷台北意象之補助政策，與台北市電影委員會之協拍服務，皆對於電影中的台北城市空間呈現造成影響，並形成一種台北城市空間的新興體驗方式。由於行銷台北意象之政策訴求，使得電影中的台北城市空間產生了觀光化的趨勢；對於具有獨特性的台北意象之鼓勵，使得台北城市空間在影片呈現上更趨多元。而台北城市空間與其影像呈現，便在互動的過程中，交織成一個不斷變化的動態結構。台北市電影委員會的協拍機制，使得電影中的台北城市空間，能有不同以往的呈現角度與宣傳可能。台北市文化局對於國際合製的政策鼓勵，亦使得電影中的台北城市空間得以納入多樣的思考觀點，並在海外電影城市行銷上取得先機。行銷台北意象之政策與宣傳方式，則促成了台北城市空間之新體驗。電影作為城市行銷工具，不僅帶動觀光效益，亦使得同時體驗真實與電影城市空間成為可能。而透過網路聯結的電影場景與台北城市空間，則能藉由影像賦予城市的不同氛圍，體驗電影為台北城市空間帶來的多樣感受。 / In 2008, Taipei City Government showed a positive attitude towards film as a city marketing strategy by offering film subsidies and establishing the Taipei Film Commission. This research attempts to explore the cinematic city space under incentive policies to the wave of city marketing in accordance with globalization. The subsidized films would be subjects of study, analyzed by using literature review, textual analysis and semi-structural interviews as research methods. 　　The result of the research shows that incentives made a great impact on the cinematic city space of Taipei and formed a new way of experiences. As a result of the policies of marketing Taipei, the cinematic city space of Taipei becomes Tourist-oriented as well as promotes unique images of Taipei. The interaction of city development and cinematic city space of Taipei interlace a changeable dynamic structure. The active support of Taipei Film Commission helps to make the cinematic city space of Taipei differently in shooting and publicity. Transnational co-production of film policies subsumes various points of view and heads start in city marketing overseas. Film as a tool of city marketing not only drives tourism benefits, but also realizes in experiencing real and cinematic city space at the same time.

Durch die Entwicklung von Computermaus und Desktop-Metapher in den 70er Jahren wurde der Rechner Teil des Arbeitslebens. Viele Innovationen beruhten nicht nur auf dem Erhöhen der Rechenkapazität, sondern auf dem Paradigmenwechsel von textbasierten zu grafik-basierten Systemen. Heutzutage durchdringen Rechner wesentliche Teile unserer Alltagsgestaltung. Neben Smartphones stellen Tablets und Bewegungssensoren neue Geräteklassen mit neuartigen Bedienparadigmen dar. Entwicklungszyklen werden immer kürzer. Entwickler zukünftiger Benutzerschnittstellen, also heutige Studierende, müssen auf Paradigmenwechsel und sich schnell ändernde Problemstellungen vorbereitet werden. Neue Lehrkonzepte versuchen das zu leisten. Der Bildband stellt den Ablauf und die Ergebnisse der Werkstatt dar, eines praxisorientierten Lehrangebotes zur Entwicklung neuartiger Mensch-Computer Schnittstellen.
