Filosofie tussen griepremedies en beerruimdatums in het huishoudboekje (1919-1937) van Leonie De Witte
No full textHet huishoudnotitieboekje van Leonie De Witte, samengesteld tijdens het interbellum, geeft een verrassende inkijk in het complexe intellectuele leven van een schijnbaar eenvoudige vrouw opgegroeid in een arm arbeidersgezin. Ze was eerst fabriekswerkster, daarna winkelbediende en eindigde haar actieve leven samen met haar man, oorspronkelijk letterzetter, in een beenhouwerij - slachterij. Het boekje geeft niets rechtstreeks prijs omtrent haar persoonlijk leven, maar steekt, tussen allerhande praktische notities, vol citaten, overwegend van het stoïcijns pessimistische type. Haar ongelooflijke ontwikkeling dankte deze vrouw vermoede/ijk aan het leergierige milieu rond de stichters van Vooruit, waar niet enkel haar man Frans Seffers actief was, maar ook haar schoonbroers Edmand van Beveren en Jan Foucaert, en vooral haar broer Pol De Witte, bekend om zijn dissidente 'Geschiedenis van Vooruit' en zijn memoires 'Alles is omgekeerd'. Dit laatste, postuum uitgegeven werk, onterecht in de vergetelheid geraakt, geeft een sober, maar aangrijpend beeld van de leefomstandigheden waarin Leonie opgroeide.</jats:p
Multimedia Explorations in Urban Policy and Planning: Beyond the Flatlands
No full textThis book explores the potential of multimedia to enrich and transform the planning field. By ‘multimedia’ the authors refer to the combination of multiple contents (both traditional and digital: texts, still images, animations, audio and video productions) and interactive platforms (offline interactive cd roms, online websites and forums, digital environments) which are opening up new possibilities in planning practice, pedagogy and research. The authors document the ways in which multimedia can expand the language of planning and the creativity of planners; can evoke the lived experience (the spirit, memories, desires) of the mongrel cities of the 21st century by engaging with stories and storytelling; and can help democratize planning processes. The diverse contributions demonstrate multimedia’s potential for layered, complex and open-ended representations of urban life; for enabling multiple forms of voice, participation and empowerment; for stimulating dialogue and influencing policy; for nurturing community engagement and community development; for expanding the horizons of qualitative and quantitative research; and for transformative learning experiences. The book conveys an excitement about the ways in which multimedia can be used by activists, immigrant and indigenous communities, planning scholars and educators, wherever urban policy and planning strategies are being debated and communities are struggling to shape, improve or protect their life spaces. But the authors go beyond enthusiasm for the new, incorporating a critical stance about the power relations embedded in these new information and communication technologies; raising questions about audience and political intentions; and outlining ethical dilemmas around authorship and ownership, collaborative processes, and the politics of voice. Leonie Sandercock is the author of eleven books, including Towards Cosmopolis: Planning for Multicultural Cities (1998) and Cosmopolis 2: Mongrel Cities of the 21st Century (2003). The latter won the Paul Davidoff Award for best book from the American Collegiate Schools of Planning. She also received the Dale Prize for community engagement (2005) and the BMW Award for Intercultural Learning (2007). Giovanni Attili is the recipient of the G. Ferraro Award for Best Urban Planning PhD Thesis in Italy in 2005. He is co-editor of Storie di Citta (2007) and author of La citta dei migranti (2008), and co-author, with Leonie Sandercock, of the book and DVD package Where Strangers become Neighbours: Integrating Immigrants in Vancouver, Canada (2009)
Visualization and Quantitation of Wg trafficking in the Drosophila Wing Imaginal Epithelium
No full textSecretory Wnt trafficking can be studied in the polarized epithelial monolayer of Drosophila wing imaginal discs (WID). In this tissue, Wg (Drosophila Wnt-I) is presented on the apical surface of its source cells before being internalized into the endosomal pathway. Long-range Wg secretion and spread depend on secondary secretion from endosomal compartments, but the exact post-endocytic fate of Wg is poorly understood. Here, we summarize and present three protocols for the immunofluorescence-based visualization and quantitation of different pools of intracellular and extracellular Wg in WID: (1) steady-state extracellular Wg; (2) dynamic Wg trafficking inside endosomal compartments; and (3) dynamic Wg release to the cell surface. Using a genetic driver system for gene manipulation specifically at the posterior part of the WID (EnGal4) provides a robust internal control that allows for direct comparison of signal intensities of control and manipulated compartments of the same WID. Therefore, it also circumvents the high degree of staining variability usually associated with whole-tissue samples. In combination with the genetic manipulation of Wg pathway components that is easily feasible in Drosophila, these methods provide a tool-set for the dissection of secretory Wg trafficking and can help us to understand how Wnt proteins travel along endosomal compartments for short- and long-range signal secretion.

Religious life in Normandy, 1050-1300: space, gender and social pressure
No full textThe religious life was central to Norman society in the middle ages. Professed religious and the clergy did not and could not live in isolation; the support of the laity was vital to their existence. How these different groups used sacred space was central to this relationship.Here, fascinating new light is shed on the reality of religious life in Normandy. The author uses ideas about space and gender to examine the social pressures arising from such interaction around four main themes: display, reception and intrusion, enclosure and the family. The study is grounded in the discussion of a wide range of sources, including architecture, chronicles and visitation records, from communities of monks and nuns, hospitals and the parish, allowing the people, rather than the institutions, to come to the fore. Contents:
Introduction 1) Display
2) Reception and Intrusion
3) Enclosure
4) Family
5) Conclusio
