摘要:

This brief and speculative paper focuses direct attention on Totem, in particular certain totemic concerns with space as place. Through adopting an overall structuralist perspective, Eretz Yisrael, the land of Israel, is considered as a totemic space. This is developed against the broader backcloth of Jewish societal development and advanced through a brief study of the continuing Jewish settlement of Samaria. It is suggested that no deeper comprehension of the proceeding settlement initiatives is attainable unless the importance of such a perspective is realized. The brief review, short case study, and pointers to proceeding work provide crucial subjects for further attention. The contentious, indeed emotive, nature of the paper is to be emphasized

摘要:

Despite its contribution to water management in Canada, very little has been published about the Grand River Conservation Commission. This paper examines the formation and operation of this organization. The evolution of water resource strategies is documented by describing the plans completed between 1932 and 1966 by the Grand River Conservation Commission and Grand Valley Conservation Authority which was formed in 1948. The strengths and weaknesses of the Conservation Commission are identified through information gathered from meeting minutes, financial statements, newspaper accounts, and interviews. Local initiative, provincial‐municipal partnership, watershed perspective, and collaboration among public agencies are viewed as attributes. The absence of a basin‐wide administration and the confined nature of the financial arrangements are noted as weaknesses. The evolution of the Commission indicates that effective institutional arrangements maybe facilitated when context, legitimation, functions, structures, processes and mechanisms, and organizational culture and participant attitudes are considered adequat

摘要:

Inspired by some important inter‐disciplinary work in both legal studies and human geography, I explore the vision of geography ‐ with special reference to the theorization of mobility ‐ that appears to be expressed within mainstream legal discourse. I argue that the legal account is premised on the privileging of certain components of liberal thought, including the individual, the private sphere, and concepts of frictionless spatial mobility. I try to demonstrate that this vision is partial and selective and ignores an alternative and insistent account of the geography of social life that appears prevalent within civil society. Evidenced by the reactions of many small towns to threats of economic dislocation, the emphasis here appears to be one that elevates concepts of place and the community. Drawing upon recent higher court decisions in British Columbia concerning the meaning of section 6 (mobility rights) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, I argue, firstly, that the legal vision is ultimately indeterminate and contingent but, secondly, that its hegemony has certain implications for social life, social justice, and the
