English 1445639890 Popular history will tell the tale of how the steam locomotive came to dominate Victorian Britain but while the steam railway died out in the 1960s, the electric railway was already a success story and one that would not only endure but dominate rail travel to the present day and beyond. When we tell the story of the electrification of Britain's railways, we need look no further than the North West of England. There are few cities that have their names carved so deeply into the history of Britain's railways than both Liverpool and Manchester, for it was between these two points, in 1830, against the backdrop of the industrial revolution, that the main line railway story truly began with the opening of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway. But here another history would be made. Electrification happened here first before anywhere else in the country. This book aims to tell the reader both how and why this happened., This book traces the development of the electric railways in the north-west of England, centred on the cities of Liverpool and Manchester. This is where the story of the electrification of the railways began, with the pioneering Liverpool Overhead Railway, followed by the suburban routes of the Lancashire & Yorkshire and the first ever AC electrification carried out by the Midland Railway. Graeme Gleaves account covers the rise and fall of the LNER s 1500v DC system and the start of high-speed rail travel with the electrification of the West Coast Main Line, leading to today s Pendolinos, main-line trains and local services, including the Manchester Metrolink."

1315603020 Public spaces are the renditions of the power symmetry within the social setting it resides in, and is both controlling and confining of power. In an ideologically-laden context, urban design encompasses values and meanings and is utilized as a means to construct the identity and perpetuate visible and invisible boundaries. Hence, gendered spatial dichotomy based on a biological division of sexes is often employed systematically to evade the transgression of women into the public spaces. The production of modern urban space in the Middle East is formed in the interplay between modernity, tradition and religion. Examining women in public spaces and patterns of interaction with gender -segregated and -mixed space, this book argues that gendered spaces are far from a static physical spatial division and produce a complex and dynamic dichotomy of men/public and women/private. Taking the example of Iran, normative and ideologically-laden gender segregated public spaces have been used as a tool for the Islamization of everyday life. The most recent government effort includes women-only parks, purportedly designed and administered through women's contributions, as well as to accommodate their needs and provide space for social interaction and activities. Combining research approaches from urban planning and social sciences, this book analyses both technical and social aspects of women-only parks. Addressing the relationships between ideology, urban planning and gender, the book interprets power relations and how they are used to define and plan public and semi-public urban spaces. Lack of communication across disciplinary boundaries as result of complexities of urban life has been one of the major hindrances in studying urban spaces in the Middle East. Addressing the concern, the cross-disciplinary approach employed in this volume is an amalgamation of methods informed by urban planning and social sciences, which includes an in-depth analysis of the morphological, perceptual, social, visual, functional, and temporal dimensions of the public space, the women-only parks in Iran. Based on critical ethnography, this volume uses a phenomenological approach to understating women in gendered spaces. Interaction of women in women-only parks in Iran, a gendered space which is growing in popularity across the Muslim world is discussed thoroughly and compared vis-à-vis gender-neutral public spaces. The book targets scholars and students within a wide range of academic disciplines including urban studies, urban planning, gender studies, political science, Middle Eastern studies, cultural studies, urban anthropology, urban sociology, Iranian studies and Islamic studies.

0748646442 Gilles Deleuze has recently turned his attention to cinema and its ability to help us see and interact ethically and politically. He has focused on "affect" and how it might be revealed through film, and he alludes to "something unbearable, beyond the limit" that the medium successfully represents. Among the factors giving rise to the cinematic time-image, Deleuze cites the Second World War and its violent impact on thought. Using the cinema of Alain Resnais and Chris Marker as focal points, Nadine Boljkovac positions the cinematic medium as a means of ethical resistance. Analyzing modes of filmic representation and the cinematic experience in terms of affect, sensation, and actual and virtual violence, she forges innovative relationships among poststructuralist philosophy, ethics, and modern cinema., How do the practices of philosophy and film converge in ethical and political theory? Untimely Affects is an interweaving of philosophy and close film analysis to discern the power and potential of art in the face of global ongoing devastations and horrors. In this first extensive analysis of Chris Marker and Alain Resnais's works together, Untimely Affects draws on concepts and images that interrogate wounds and layers of a recent past in relation to 'a time yet to come'. Through its weave of cine-philosophy and the idea of the 'ever new', Untimely Affects speaks to limits and potentials of cinema, thought, self and life. Key Features:-A new perspective on the relationships between poststructuralist philosophy, ethics and modern cinema-Reads and analyses the medium of cinema through concepts of affect, sensation and actual & virtual violence, How does cinema function as a means of ethical resistance and thought? Untimely Affects offers an ethical and aesthetic interweaving of Deleuzian philosophy and close film analysis to discern how thought persists productively after the horrors of World War II. In this first extensive analysis of Chris Marker and Alain Resnais's works, Nadine Boljkovac draws on concepts and images that interrogate 'what we are now living through', in the words of Klossowski's Nietzsche. Mindful of the seen and unseen 'that quicken the heart' (Marker), this book of film-philosophy discerns new and deeply ethical life-affirming possibilities through its weave of cine-philosophy.
