Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Geowissenschaften / Geographie - Politische Geographie, Note: 1,0, Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Ein aus dem 21. Jahrhundert nicht mehr weg zu denkendes Thema ist die Ressourcenverknappung und die daraus entstehenden Ressourcenkonflikt. Es ist daher zu einem zentralen Forschungsfeld der politischen Geographie geworden. Im Fokus stehen vor allem regionale und lokale Konflikte um raumbezogene Ressourcen. Dabei wird auch die Rolle „neuer“ sozialer Bewegungen untersucht: Welche Widerstandsstrategien verwenden sie? Welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten haben sie? Welche Rahmenbedingungen beeinflussen den Konflikt und die sozialen Bewegungen? Die Auseinandersetzung innerhalb des Dreiecks Gesellschaft - Raum - Macht bildet die Grundlage für die Klärung solcher Fragen. “Neither theory, however, has attempted to analyze social movement agency from the perspective of place, i.e. why particular movements emerge where they do“ (ROUTLEDGE 1997a, S. 219). In dieser Arbeit geht es um ROUTLEDGES Konzept Terrains of Resistance, mit dem die regionale Spezifik von (Nutzungs-)Konflikten unter besonderer Einbeziehung der eigenständigen regionalen Identität und Kultur der Widerstandsbewegungen untersucht wird. Da dieses Konzept sich vorrangig mit den räumlichen Besonderheiten befasst, halte ich es für nötig, es mit einem passenden Konzept zu erweitern, damit eine angemessene Konfliktbiographie erstellt werden kann. In diesem Fall habe ich mich für den handlungsorientierten Ansatz der Geographischen Konfliktforschung entschieden. Der Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit liegt auf diesen beiden theoretischen Konzepten. Nach einer Einordung in das „Haus der Geographie“, wird auch auf die Anfänge der politischen Geographie zurückgegangen, da es unabdingbar ist, die neuen Forschungsperspektiven klar von den alten abzugrenzen. Als erstes wird auf die Geographische Konfliktforschung eingegangen, die ein wesentlich breiteres Theoriefundament hat als der Terrains-of-Resistance-Ansatz, der sich teilweise aus der Geographischen Konfliktforschung ableiten lässt. Ferner werden die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen, die wesentlichen Einfluss auf Protestbewegungen haben, thematisiert und anschließend auf die Ziele, Themen und Mittel der „neuen“ Widerstandsbewegungen eingegangen. Am Ende der Arbeit steht ein Fallbeispiel, ein Raumkonflikt in Thailand, an dem einige Aspekte der Theorien aufgezeigt werden können. Dabei findet aber keine klare Abgrenzung zwischen den Teiltheorien statt, sondern vielmehr sollen sie miteinander verschmelzen und sich ergänzen (...)

Examining and historicizing the concept of "otherness" in both literature and criticism, Lisa Lowe explores representations of non-European cultures in British and French writings from the eighteenth through the twentieth century. Lowe traces the intersections of culture, class, and sexuality in Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s Turkish Embassy Letters and Montesquieu’s Lettres persanes and discusses tropes of orientalism, racialism, and romanticism in Flaubert. She then turns to debates in Anglo-American and Indian criticism on Forster’s Passage to India and on the utopian projection of China in the poststructuralist theories of Julia Kristeva and Roland Barthes and in the journal Tel Quel.

The Engineering Group of the Geological Society Working Party brought together experts in glacial and periglacial geomorphology, Quaternary history, engineering geology and geotechnical engineering to establish best practice when working in former glaciated and periglaciated environments. The Working Party addressed outdated terminology and reviewed the latest academic research to provide an up-to-date understanding of glaciated and periglaciated terrains. This transformative, state-of-the-art volume is the outcome of five years of deliberation and synthesis by the Working Party. This is an essential reference text for practitioners, students and academics working in these challenging ground conditions. The narrative style, and a comprehensive glossary and photo-catalogue of active and relict sediments, structures and landforms make this material relevant and accessible to a wide readership.

This study examines the leadership of three African-American women administrators in higher education, and how they have used their spirituality as a lens to lead in the academy. The central questions in this case study include: How do African-American women make meaning of their spiritual selves in their everyday leadership practices? How does their spirituality influence their work and the type of relationships they develop with others in the academy? What are the ways in which these three women have used their spirituality as a lens to lead, and how does this leadership impact the social, cultural and political construct of a male-dominated arena?

As planners and designers have turned their attentions to the blighted, vacant areas of the city, the concept of "terrain vague," has become increasingly important. Terrain Vague seeks to explore the ambiguous spaces of the city -- the places that exist outside the cultural, social, and economic circuits of urban life. From vacant lots and railroad tracks, to more diverse interstitial spaces, this collection of original essays and cases presents innovative ways of looking at marginal urban space, with studies from the United States, Europe and the Middle East, from a diverse group of planners, geographers, and urban designers. Terrain Vague is a cooperative effort to redefine these marginal spaces as a central concept for urban planning and design. Presenting innovative ways of looking at marginal urban space, and focusing on its positive uses and aspects, the book will be of interest to all those wishing to understand our increasingly complex everyday surroundings, from planners, cultural theorists, and academics, to designers and architects.

Rough terrain robotics is a fast evolving field of research and a lot of effort is deployed towards enabling a greater level of autonomy for outdoor vehicles. This book demonstrates how the accuracy of 3D position tracking can be improved by considering rover locomotion in rough terrain as a holistic problem. Although the selection of appropriate sensors is crucial to accurately track the rover’s position, it is not the only aspect to consider. Indeed, the use of an unadapted locomotion concept severely affects the signal to noise ratio of the sensors, which leads to poor motion estimates. In this work, a mechanical structure allowing smooth motion across obstacles with limited wheel slip is used. In particular, it enables the use of odometry and inertial sensors to improve the position estimation in rough terrain. A method for computing 3D motion increments based on the wheel encoders and chassis state sensors is developed. Because it accounts for the kinematics of the rover, this method provides better results than the standard approach. To further improve the accuracy of the position tracking and the rover’s climbing performance, a controller minimizing wheel slip is developed. The algorithm runs online and can be adapted to any kind of passive wheeled rover. Finally, sensor fusion using 3D-Odometry, inertial sensors and visual motion estimation based on stereovision is presented. The experimental results demonstrate how each sensor contributes to increase the accuracy and robustness of the 3D position estimation.

Shifting Terrain places contemporary political, economic, and social questions in long-range historical context. An essay on the new American imperialism is set against one that considers enduring lessons from Thucydides on the hubris of empire. The deep Lockean liberal structure of American politics is treated, along with a case history of the labor movement. Essays on child labor, hunger and poverty explore topics in world political economy as it affects the most dispossessed.
