Sommario/riassunto |

Why have Americans expressed concern about immigration at some times but not at others? In pursuit of an answer, this book examines America’s first nativist movement, which responded to the rapid influx of 4.2 million immigrants between 1840 and 1860 and culminated in the dramatic rise of the National American Party. As previous studies have focused on the coasts, historians have not yet completely explained why westerners joined the ranks of the National American, or “Know Nothing,” Party or why the nation’s bloodiest anti-immigrant riots erupted in western cities—namely Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville, and St. Louis. In focusing on the antebellum West, Inventing America’s First Immigration Crisis illuminates the cultural, economic, and political issues that originally motivated American nativism and explains how it ultimately shaped the political relationship between church and state.In |

six detailed chapters, Ritter explains how unprecedented immigration from Europe and rapid westward expansion reignited fears of Catholicism as a corrosive force. He presents new research on the inner sanctums of the secretive Order of Know-Nothings and provides original data on immigration, crime, and poverty in the urban West. Ritter argues that the country’s first bout of political nativism actually renewed Americans’ commitment to church-state separation. Native-born Americans compelled Catholics and immigrants, who might have otherwise shared an affinity for monarchism, to accept American-style democracy. Catholics and immigrants forced Americans to adopt a more inclusive definition of religious freedom. This study offers valuable insight into the history of nativism in U.S. politics and sheds light on present-day concerns about immigration, particularly the role of anti-Islamic appeals in recent elections. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
La réflexion sur les corps intermédiaires a connu une longue phase de désintérêt, voire de désaffection en raison de l'image passéiste des corporations associée à la société d'Ancien Régime et aux expériences corporatistes des régimes autoritaires de la première moitié du XXe siècle. Supprimés et interdits en 1791 (décret d'Allarde, loi Le Chapelier), ils étaient tenus pour des obstacles rédhibitoires à la liberté, à l'exercice des droits naturels, à l'intérêt général, à la relation entre les volontés individuelles et l'État qui ne saurait tolérer des intermédiaires surtout s'ils s'affichent autonomes. Il fallut attendre les lendemains de la célébration du bicentenaire de la Révolution pour que la réflexion historique se revivifie. Yves Mény, Pierre Rosanvallon revisitèrent alors la notion de corps intermédiaires, en amont comme en aval de la Révolution et jusqu'au temps présent. Fruit de travaux conduits sur le terrain languedocien, notamment dans le domaine de la viticulture si essentiel pour l'économie méridionale, cet ouvrage expose des cas particuliers prenant valeur générale. La cohérence d'une réflexion collective menée des premières années du XVIIIe siècle jusqu'à la veille de la Seconde Guerre mondiale et l'attention portée aux conduites des populations donnent à l'étude des corps intermédiaires la densité des faits humains replacés dans la continuité des siècles. L'attention est attirée sur les continuités et les ruptures dans les stratégies organisationnelles de la société, l'irruption de nouveaux corps intermédiaires venant renouveler espoirs et énergies. La parole est aux acteurs de l'économie, non à ses théoriciens. Opératoire, le concept « corps intermédiaires » fait saisir la rapidité avec laquelle ils se constituent dès que la loi le permet : échec de la Révolution, plus exactement d'une utopie de la liberté qui faisait son lit au libéralisme économique, ou horreur du vide de la société qui ne saurait fonctionner sans corps intermédiaires ?

Sommario/riassunto |

This book explores the value of the musical concept of “agogics” – the modification of regular rhythm to enhance expressive potential – in understanding urban spatial configurations within the current technological context and in developing urban maps that exploit sonic signals to create an open learning framework. The book starts by |

discussing the meaning and significance of agogics in the musical and artistic realm, with reference to the work of Adolphe Appia, Emile-Jaques Dalcroze, and Iannis Xenakis, among others. Its relevance to cartography and mapping is then examined, taking into account the contributions of Ian McHarg, Bill Hillier, Mark Shepard, and Robin Minard. The nature and value of agogic maps, for example in fostering awareness of place and effective organization of spatial development, are described in detail, with reference to case studies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Segrate, Italy. It is explained how agogic maps take advantage of innovative categories and scripting equipment to provide a new mapping instrument for spatial and urban configurations, highlighting the interdependence between aural signals and spatial variables. This book will be of interest to architects, urbanists, and musicians with a specific interest in space and sound design. |
