How are people in a global society reconstructing their sense of place? This key question is addressed in this thesis. Australian society has emerged from the period of industrialisation and entered the period of globalisation, a modern to a postmodern world. Sense of place is a vital source of both individual and cultural identity and security, a point of departure from which we orient ourselves in the world. The use of a place, its terrain (landscape), connectedness to that place and its inherent meaning are identified here as the 4 key elements in the construction of a sense of place. The case study approach adopted in this thesis examines a former industrial site in Pyrmont currently being redeveloped as a waterfront residential community, known as Jacksons Landing. The site is reviewed at the moment in time it transcends the industrial era and enters the global era. The mixture of research methods examining the transition includes observation; key informant interviews; structured interviews; and document analysis. The study document the shift of the site from 'space' to 'place' through personal presence and association. It catches a glimpse of how individual experience of place is formed from a unique moment in space-time, which is interlinked with memories, emotions and identity. The findings indicate that communities of the future, in the era of globalisation, will be markedly different to those of the industrial era. Results suggest lifestyle and economic factors will shape future communities, which have the potential to be gated and homogenous, representing a microcosm of segmentation and secularisation. Security, income and occupation will be increasingly valued, forming the basis of identity and the shaping of place. / Master of Science (Hons)

Dans un cadre géographique limité, celui de la vallée du Rimbach, cette thèse étudie de façon exhaustive tous les aspects d'une évolution économique et sociale marquée par le phénomène de l'industrialisation du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours. Cette thèse a donc permis de connaître un espace régional d'industrialisation qui renforce la diversité du développement économique de la France. Cette recherche se limite au vallon du Rimbach mais, en nous préoccupant de replacer le territoire dans l'ensemble alsacien, nous apportons des informations nouvelles concernant la pré-industrialisation, le processus d'industrialisation et sa spécificité par rapport à la grande industrie haut-rhinoise, l'évolution économique face aux problèmes de frontière de par leurs déplacements en 1870, 1919, 1939 et 1945, la grande mutation industrielle depuis 1945 mais aussi les bouleversements sociaux, les conséquences politiques et l'impact environnemental. La vallée du Rimbach, à une échelle réduite, a été le théâtre de toutes ces évolutions. Cette thèse apporte l'implacable démonstration qu'un microcosme à tel point miniaturisé se montre le reflet des tribulations de l'industrialisation. Les apports de cette thèse sont donc indéniables dans la connaissance plus fine de l'économie d'une vallée sous-vosgienne aux spécificités bien réelles. Du point de vue de l'histoire économique elle met en lumière des modalités de pérennité productives à une échelle micro locale, qui prouvent des capacités de territorialité d'action souvent masquées par des tendances globalisantes. Enfin, elle casse cette vision monolithique et linéaire d'une Europe qui s'industrialise, se désindustrialise et se réindustrialise sur de nouvelles formes en montrant l'importance des transitions.La vallée de Rimbach a donc sa place dans cette grande histoire industrielle européenne, une place particulière à certains égards.

Yes / Objective: This project sought to investigate whether an association may be observed between isotopic stress indicators and skeletal evidence of pathological conditions. Materials: Deciduous and permanent teeth of 15 non-adults from two contemporaneous mid-19th century London burial grounds (City Bunhill, Lukin Street). Methods: δ13C and δ15N was measured in the incrementally sectioned dentine collagen. Isotopic profiles for each individual included death during tooth development. Results: Individuals with skeletal evidence of chronic pathological conditions (e.g., rickets, tuberculosis) exhibited raised δ15N values of 0.5-1.7‰ in the months prior to death. Isotopic change consistent with chronic physiological stress prior to death was also recorded in two individuals with no skeletal evidence of disease. An offset was observed between co-forming bone and dentine δ15N values in both populations, indicating that bone and dentine are not recording the same isotopic changes. Conclusions: Isotopic change consistent with chronic physiological stress was observed in both those with and without skeletal evidence of disease, suggesting that adaptation to chronic stress in childhood was not uncommon within these 19th century London populations. Significance: Chronic physiological stress prior to death may be seen in the incrementally sampled dentine of non-adults who die during tooth formation. Limitations: The temporal resolution of current dentine micro-sampling methods may mask or minimise visibility of shorter-term periods of stress or dietary change. Suggestions for further research: Future research should further explore the relationship between specific skeletal pathologies and isotopic evidence for stress.

Yes / Objective: this research seeks to investigate the impact the Industrial Revolution had on the population of England. Materials: Pre-existing skeletal data from 1154 pre-Industrial (1066–1700AD) and 4157 industrial (1700–1905) skeletons from 21 cemeteries (N = 5411). Methods: Context number, sex, age-at-death, stature and presence/absence of selected pathological conditions were collated. The data were compared using chi square, Kolmogorov-Smirnov, t-tests and logistic regression (α = 0.01). Results: There was a statistically significant increase in cribra orbitalia, periosteal reactions, rib lesions, fractures, rickets, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, enamel hypoplasia, dental caries and periapical lesions in the industrial period. Osteomyelitis decreased from the pre-industrial to industrial period. Conclusion: Our results confirm the Industrial Revolution had a significant negative impact on human health, however the prevalence of TB, treponemal disease, maxillary sinusitis, osteomalacia, scurvy, gout and DISH did not change, suggesting these diseases were not impacted by the change in environmental conditions. Significance: This is the largest study of health in the Industrial Revolution that includes non-adults and adults and considers age-at-death alongside disease status to date. This data supports the hypothesis that the Rise of Industry was associated with a significant decline in general health, but not an increase in all pathologies. Limitations: This meta-analysis relies upon previously gathered data and diagnosis from a large number of researchers. Incomplete skeletons were often excluded from analyses. Few rural cemeteries were available for inclusion. Suggestions for further research: Data from unpublished and ongoing excavations should be investigated. Comparison with historical data is encouraged. / Funded by the Royal Society (IES\R1\180138)

L'architecture moderne des années 20 et 30 est en général caractérisée par un usage des nouveaux matériaux que son l'acier, le béton et le verre. Pourtant la pierre a joué également un rôle important, quoique plus modeste, dans la définition du "style moderne", rôle qui a été peu étudié dans les nombreux travaux qui ont porté sur cette période. Pendant des siècles, la "construction pierre par pierre", a été un aphorisme de la culture occidentale qui renvoyant à l'action archaïque de construire, que ce soit au niveau de bâtiment ou de la ville. C'est la raison pour laquelle elle a toujours été associée à la tradition, et délibérément occultée par le Mouvement Moderne. Cependant elle témoigne bien des transformations en cours de la phase cruciale de la "modernisation" de la société et donc de l'architecture et de la construction. La pierre est aussi un excellent lieu d'analyse de la phase délicate de transition d'un tissu technique et commerciale traditionnel, vers une industrialisation naissante et des nouvelles technologies qui lui sont liées / Reading the project of the Modern and its constructive cultures in relation to the historical conditions and the technology, allows exploring some aspects of Modern Architecture in Europe. Besides the traditional, more studied and known triad of "moderns" materials, steel, concrete and glass, the stone also played an important role, in the definition both of "modern construction and modern style". The construction in stone was always associated with the tradition and then forgotten by the Modern Movement, during the crucial phase of society's "modernization" and therefore its architecture and construction. The stone however explains this delicate transition from the traditional art of building in stone to the new technologies
