Sommario/riassunto

"This book is a translation of historian Carlo Ginzburg's latest collection of essays. Through the detective work of uncovering a wide variety of



stories or microhistories from fragments, Ginzburg takes on the bigger questions: How do we draw the line between truth and fiction? What is the relationship between history and memory? Stories range from medieval Europe, the inquisitional trial of a witch, seventeenth-century antiquarianism, and twentieth-century historians."--

Sommario/riassunto

Hong Kongs Grenze zu Shenzhen befindet sich in Auflösung: bis 2047 wird sie verschwunden sein. Mit der Integration in das Festland wird auch die Politik des „One-Country-Two-Systems" verschwinden, und Befürchtungen hinsichtlich Gesetz, Identität, Meinungsfreiheit und Wahlrecht evozieren. Von dieser Debatte betroffen ist auch die „Frontier Closed Area", ein seit 1951 abgeriegelter und unterentwickelter Grenzstreifen mit Flüssen, Fischfarmen, Wäldern, Dörfern und Militärposten, der direkt an die 15 Millionen Metropole Shenzhen grenzt. Das Buch untersucht das einmalige Ökosystem dieses Grenzlandes und entwirft Strategien zur Umgestaltung, die innovative



Entwicklungen befördern sollen. Am Beispiel Hong Kongs wird ein Diskurs über Grenzen und deren Einfluss auf zeitgenössischen Städte eröffnet.

Hong Kong’s border with Shenzhen is dissolving. By 2047, the border will likely not exist. Integration with the Mainland will remove distinctions created by the "One Country Two Systems" policy. The uncertainty surrounding what will happen has created anxiety relating to law, identity, freedom of speech, and voting rights. Caught in this debate is the Frontier Closed Area, a 1951 undeveloped buffer zone of estuaries, fish farms, forests, villages and military posts. In contrast, Shenzhen, has exploded into a metropolis of 15 million plus. The book explores this unique border ecology. Design strategies inserted within this ecology promote alternate forms of development. The example widens the discourse on borders to raise critical issues that impact the contemporary city.
