New Frontiers in Interregional Migration Research
No full textThis book focuses on the latest advances and challenges in interregional migration research. Given the increase in the availability of "big data" at a finer spatial scale, the book discusses the resulting new challenges for researchers in interregional migration, especially for regional scientists, and the theoretical and empirical advances that have been made possible. In presenting these findings, it also sheds light on the different migration drivers and patterns in the developed and developing world by comparing different regions around the globe. The book updates and revisits the main academic debates in interregional migration, and presents new emerging lines of investigation and a forward-looking research agenda
Street theatre of Viktor Braunreiter
No full textPráce přibližuje historii, tvorbu a poetiku amatérského souboru Pouliční divadlo Viktora Braunreitera. Tento amatérský soubor vznikl v roce 2006. Jeho zakladatelem, vedoucím, autorem, hercem, režisérem je Viktor Braunreiter. Dnes, po deseti letech intenzivní divadelní práce, se mu podařilo vybudovat soubor s výrazným puncem kvality a autorské originality. Tvorba souboru je pestrá. Míst a prostředí, kde bychom se s poetikou PDVB mohli potkat, je mnoho. Jedním z hlavních přínosů PDVB pro širokou veřejnost je tzv. "oživování" vybraných míst či prostředí, která divadelníci dramaticky umocňují. Kritika tvorby PDVB bývá většinou pozitivní. Kladné ohlasy přicházejí od diváků, ale i od zasvěcené kritiky. Hlavním poznávacím znamením tvorby PDVB je lidový, ale nikoli primitivní humor a nezbytná nadsázka, ironie i sebeironie. Tvůrčí originalita, invence, nezaměnitelnost, píle a chuť se nadále rozvíjet spolu s širokou a věrnou diváckou platformou staví PDVB do pozice předního regionálního amatérského souboru se sílícími ambicemi tyto hranice překonat.ObhájenoThis work represents the history, production and poetics Viktor Braunreiter´s street theatre. This an amateur aggregate, which came into existence in year 2006. Viktor Braunreiter is its founder, leader, author, actor and also a director. Today, after ten years of intensive theatre work, he managed to build up the company with strong mark of quality and author´s originality. Production of company is varied. Places and environments, where we could meet PDVB´s poetic, are a lot, either at the castle courtyards or in Czech town´s streets, but also in the primary and secondary schools. One of the main PDVB´s benefit for general public is so called "resuscitate" representative places or environments, which theatre actors intensify dramatically. Criticism of PDVB´s creation used to be almost positive. Affirmative reactions come from the spectators, but also from privy critics. The main tell-tail sign of PDVB´s creation is folk, but not primitive humour and absolutely necessary exaggeration, irony and self-irony. Creative originality, invention, unmistakable, diligence and desire to be also developing together with wide and regular spectator´s platform put PDVB into position of leading local amateur company with growing stronger ambition surpass these bounds

Transitions and Location Choice: Analysing the Decisions of Students and Recent Graduates
Full text linkThis special issue is the result of a series of sessions on graduates and the labour market, organised at the 2012 ERSA conference in Bratislava, Slovakia. The collection of papers is the first to address determinants and impact of decisions on both entry and exit from higher education, with a focus on the location and labour market decisions of students and recent graduates. The first two papers in this issue present novel analyses of the transition from high school to tertiary education; Suhonen on distance and field of study in Finland; and Faggian and Franklin on student quality and location choice in the United States. The following two articles focus on the migration patterns of recent graduates; Ahlin and Andersson on the rewards of entering labour markets in urban areas, while Kronenberg and Carree focus on the issue of residential location choice. Koster and Venhorst conclude, studying the residential and business location decisions of graduate entrepreneurs. The papers provide policy implications on the geographical spread of higher education institutions, and the short- and long-term consequences of student and graduate mobility
Graduate migration and regional familiarity
Full text link<p>This paper provides insights into the spatial mobility patterns of young graduates in the Netherlands. Both home-to-HEI (higher education institution) as well as HEI-to-work mobility results in net flows towards the central economic region of the Netherlands. However, many graduates move within the larger central and peripheral regions and these flows are focused on cities. There is a strong regional component to graduate mobility as origins and destinations tend to be relatively close to the chosen HEI. Flows seem to be influenced by regional familiarity, with relatively many graduates moving back to familiar home regions. Often, a city's young graduate labour force and graduate residents have studied at a local HEI. Cities close to the economic core areas benefit from outflows of graduates from the largest employment centres.</p>
Death of the author (?) in Viktor Pelevin's novels: Power, conspiracy, and disappointment
No full textThis thesis seeks to explore a contradiction implicit within postmodernist thought which concerns the question of authorship. It suggests that Roland Barthes's "death of the author" might well be incompatible with the capitalist mentality which has become a theme of as well as an external condition for the existence of postmodern literature. A focused analysis of selected texts by Viktor Pelevin's demonstrates this problem and suggests a possible resolution, at least within this author's works: there seems to be a shift of focus from the 'author' (as conceived by V.V. Vinogradov and perhaps assumed by Barthes), as sole and final arbiter in the question of who dictates the meaning of the text and the 'writer' as the focal point of branding (a point perhaps anticipated by Fredric Jameson). This thesis explores issues of authorship in Pelevin's The Helmet of Horror (Шлем ужаса), Chapaev and Void, (Чапаев и Пустота), t, and Generation «П» by referring to reader-response theory (an outgrowth of Barthes's death of the author), auteur theory, as well as Vinogradov's "image of the author."L'objet du présent mémoire est l'analyse d'une contradiction implicite dans la pensée postmoderniste relative à la question de la paternité littéraire. Nous soutenons que la « mort de l'auteur » proclamée par Roland Barthes est incompatible avec la mentalité capitaliste qui est devenue un thème de l'existence de la littérature postmoderne ainsi qu'une de ses conditions externes. Notre analyse d'une sélection de textes de Viktor Pelevine confirme ce problème et nous amène à proposer une possible solution, du moins en ce qui concerne l'œuvre de l'auteur. Il semble y avoir un glissement (tel qu'imaginé par V.V. Vinogradov et sans doute assumé par Barthes) de l'auteur en tant qu'arbitre suprême vers l'écrivain comme seul point de marquage (ce que Fredric Jameson a sans doute anticipé). Ce mémoire explore des questions de paternité littéraire dans Minotaure.com : Le Heaume d'horreur (Шлем ужаса), La Mitrailleuse d'argile (Чапаев и пустота), t, ainsi que dans Homo zapiens (Generation «П») de Pelevine en invoquant l'esthétique de la réception (un prolongement de la « mort de l'auteur » de Barthes), la théorie de l'auteur, ainsi que l'« image de l'auteur » de Vinogradov

State of the art and future challenges of interregional migration empirical research in Oceania
No full textWith an estimated eight million international immigrants, Oceania is a region with the highest proportion of immigrants worldwide. The flow of migrants between Australia and New Zealand is especially large given their geographic proximity, cultural similarities, and a shared history as part of the British Commonwealth. This chapter places a particular focus on the interregional flows in Australia and New Zealand given that they represent the two most popular immigration destinations in Oceania. We discuss how immigration policy in both nations are likely to continue to focus on attracting and retaining immigrants that are selected based on their skills in an attempt to address persistent skill shortages and to ameliorate the effects of ageing populations. The challenge for regional scientists, population geographers and labour economists will be to identify sources of data through which we can better understand the migratory pathways through which both domestic and new international arrivals pass. Understanding these complex pathways will be the first step to unveiling the factors that underpin interregional migrations and how these shape outcomes for both individuals and local labour markets
