Before and after the vuvuzela : identity, image and mega-events in South Africa, China and Brazil
  • Before and after the vuvuzela : identity, image and mega-events in South Africa, China and Brazil
  • Brazil ; China ; Cultural studies ; Event ; Football ; Identity ; Image ; Motivation ; South Africa
  • Focusing on mega events in South Africa, China and Brazil, this paper contrasts and critiques the associated image and identity opportunities and risks, as well as comparative motivations for hosting such events. In the context of an increasing

  • Reassembling the event : Estonia's Bronze Night
  • Cultural studies ; Estonia ; Event ; Local authority ; Monument ; Russians ; Tallinn ; Territorialisation ; Urban social movement
  • At the end of April 2007, an event unfolded in Tallinn, that came to be called the Bronze Night : a soviet-era monument was removed. Following Deleuze's philosophy of the event, the A. seeks to learn from the B.N. as an event by using an in-the-act

The role of catastrophic geomorphic events in central Appalachian landscape evolution in Appalachian geomorphology.
  • The role of catastrophic geomorphic events in central Appalachian landscape evolution in Appalachian geomorphology.
  • In the first part, the AA. consider some examples of historic catastrophic flood and landslide events to generalize about the spatial and temporal controls on present-day catastrophic events. In the second part, they consider selected examples
  • of the surficial stratigraphic record to evaluate the long-term effect of catastrophic events on the Appalachian landscape.
Towards an evental geography
  • Towards an evental geography
  • The paper begins with a problem, which is how to account for objects, worlds, and events outside of human consciousness or in-themselves. It answers by constructing an evental geography from the ontologies of Martin Heidegger, A. Badiou, and G
  • . Harman. A ‘geo-event’ names the transformation of a world – from galaxies to nation states to ecosystems – by inexistent objects and the forces they unleash. The paper is situated at the busy crossroads of (object-oriented) philosophy, non

  • Mass transfers triggered by a rare rainfall event on 20-21 July, 2004, in the Latnjavagge catchment in the higher Abisko mountain region, are quantified and analysed in direct comparison with mean annual mass transfers in this drainage basin
  • . A reliable estimation of the recurrence intervals of such rare events is especially problematic. The general problem of defining an adequate length of process monitoring programmes is pointed out.

A new approach for linking event-based upland sediment sources to downstream suspended sediment transport
  • A new approach for linking event-based upland sediment sources to downstream suspended sediment transport
  • This approach is based on a new concept of spatial scale, sub-watershed area (SWA), defined as a sub-watershed within which all eroded soils are transported out without deposition during a hydrological event. Using (rainfall) event data collected
  • between July and November, 2007 from several SWAs of the studied watershed, the AA. developed an empirical equation that has one independent variable, mean SWA slope. This equation was then used to determine event-averaged unit soil erosion rate for all

  • Cultivated land ; Eastern United States ; Extreme event ; Precipitation ; Regional analysis ; Soil erosion ; Spatial analysis ; Time series ; United States of America
  • Alternatively, the AA. define extreme events as the largest events sorted by rank, whatever their absolute magnitude. The new approach applied to soil erosion is that, whatever the magnitude of soil eroded, erosion is a time compressed process
  • and the percentage contribution to total soil erosion by the few largest events (regardless of their magnitude) is negatively related to the total number of daily soil erosion events recorded. The AA. present here a geographical analysis of the effects of largest

Heidegger, event and the ontological politics of the site
  • Heidegger, event and the ontological politics of the site
  • Concept ; Event ; Ontology ; Place ; Space ; Space time ; Theory
  • This paper scrutinises the possibilities Martin Heidegger’s notion of ‘the event of revealing’ poses for spatial theory. It shows how his work on ‘the event’ and its ‘fourfold’ constitution (between earth, sky, mortals and divinities) affords
  • a spatial understanding of ontology as a site revealed around the assemblage of things. Through such post-human understanding of the event, it becomes possible to think spatiality, not just in accordance with the influence Heidegger’s thought could have

  • Mega-events and housing costs : raising the rent while raising the roof ?
  • Event ; Housing ; Housing cost ; Housing market ; Induced effect ; Land value ; Model ; Rented market ; United States of America
  • The paper examines the relationship between hosting mega-events and rental housing prices in host cities. An analysis of rental prices in a panel of American cities from 1993 to 2005 fails to find a consistent impact of mega-events on rental prices
  • . Mega-events tend to affect rental prices outside of the center city in a very different manner than in the city core.
The disruption of Grassy Creek : implications concerning catastrophic events and thresholds
  • The disruption of Grassy Creek : implications concerning catastrophic events and thresholds
  • Two catastrophic events, occurring simultaneously in the valley of Little Grassy Creek, allow for an examination of the threshold concept in geomorphology. Movement of debris associated with failure and sliding of valley-side material, caused

Climatological classification of severe wind-driven rain events affecting the southern United States
  • Climatological classification of severe wind-driven rain events affecting the southern United States
  • This paper follows recent studies of wind-driven rain (WDR), and statistically defines a severe WDR event. The research suggests a classification for severe WDR events by association with larger scale weather systems. The study incorporates data
  • for the period 1971 to 1995 and, from these data, the analysis reveals that severe WDR events are confined mainly to the southern United States and occur most frequently in the cold and transition seasons. Extratropical cyclones are the most common synoptic-scale
