Abstract

Ernst Papanek was an Austrian pedagogue who worked with Jewish refugee children in France in 1939/40, before he was forced to leave to the United States. There, he nevertheless continued his work to point out the impact of war, genocide and displacement on children, who were often forgotten in major discussions about the war and the losses it had created. This volume provides a short biographical outline of Papanek and a theoretical discussion about the impact of war and genocide on children who are forced out of their lives and who were not only physically displaced as a consequence. The second part of the book assembles some of Papanek's important texts about the children he had worked with and for, to make his thoughts and important considerations accessible for a broader academic and non-academic public alike.

Abstract

The New York House of Refuge, the first institution in America to deal with the juvenile delinquent as a special problem, opened its doors in 1825. Deeply concerned with the plight of the thousands of children who roamed the New York City streets, many of them becoming professional criminals, a volunteer group called the Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents, founded the institution to rehabilitate “deviant” adolescents. This is the story of the critical early years of juvenile reform, which soon became a national movement. Current reform concepts are discussed in the Introduction and related to their seventeenth century origins, thus setting the stage for the 1825 world scene that gave rise to the Refuge idea. The following chapters trace events from their European background through the first administration of the House of Refuge, relating Refuge history to the changing character of penal institutions. No one knew how to turn delinquents into virtuous, industrious citizens. Trial and error approaches to solving the problem were often thwarted by the founders themselves, but some methods did prove successful. The personalities of the institution’s administrators and of their youthful charges come to life through diary and journal accounts kept by the leading characters in this description of one historic attempt at “taming of the deviant.” The House of Refuge finally closed in 1935, replaced by other institutions, but, as the author points out, problems remain today. The epilogue provides a broad sketch of the importance of the House of Refuge to current reform developments and present-day problems of juvenile delinquency. Extensive documentary information and occasional sidelights on the historical events under discussion can be found in the notes. Five tables present a sampling of 500 inmates of the House of Refuge, analyzed by ethnic origins, living arrangements, and family composition.

Abstract

Commandée en 1929 par l’Armée du Salut à Le Corbusier et à son cousin Pierre Jeanneret, la Cité de refuge a été la première réalisation d’ampleur de l’architecte ; elle fait aujourd’hui l’objet d’une profonde restauration. Conçu comme un centre d’accueil et hébergement de 500 places pour sans-abris, ce vaste édifice remplit peu ou prou les mêmes fonctions 80 ans plus tard. Restaurer ce monument historique tout en s’adaptant à un environnement social et humain profondément bouleversé était un véritable pari.La Cité de refuge présente nombre d’innovations : il s’agissait ainsi du premier bâtiment d'habitation entièrement hermétique, comportant en particulier mille mètres carrés de vitrages sans ouvrant. Tout au long de sa carrière, Le Corbusier attacha beaucoup d’attention à l’édifice qu’il remania à plusieurs reprises dès les années qui ont suivi l’inauguration.Cet ouvrage est l’occasion de dresser une histoire architecturale, sociale et sociologique de ce bâtiment quasi expérimental et emblématique du mouvement moderne, et de sa restauration menée de 2011 à 2015.

Abstract

À la suite de l'invasion de l'Ukraine par la Russie en février 2022, des citoyen·nes ont accueilli dans leur foyer des exilé·es ukrainien·nes à la demande du gouvernement belge. Déjà entre 2016 et 2019, des femmes et des hommes, sous l'Impulsion de la Plateforme citoyenne, avalent ouvert leur porte aux exilé·es en transit que la politique inhospitalière de la Belgique ne voulait pas aider. Comment comprendre que l'hébergement des exilé·es soit passé d'une pratique répréhensible, voire criminalisée, en 2016-2019 à un acte d'obéissance aux Injonctions gouvernementales en 2022 ? Existerait-il deux catégories d'exilé·es conduisant à une politique différenciée de l'accueil ? Les auteur·es vont à la rencontre de ces hébergeur·euses pour comprendre la pratique d'hospitalité et interroger le rôle de l'État en période de crise et sa politique d'(in)hospitalité.

Abstract

This book deals in different ways with the politics of death, with art and politics and with the politics of refuge and asylum. Cutting across these fields brings to the fore the fluid quality of social life under late capitalism. The elements of time, space and emotion are part of the overall approach adopted. The individual chapters illustrate themes of despair, striving and the politics of hope, and bring out the fluid and unpredictable qualities of social life. The guiding metaphor is fluidity, or what Urry refers to as "waves; continuous flow; pulsing; fluidity and viscosity" characteristic of life, death, refuge and art under the contemporary global system. Between the worlds of culture, political violence and art, the interconnected themes in this study illuminate conditions of 'liminality', or in-betweenness. The study presents a politics of hope under late capitalism, and cuts through more usual boundaries between art and science, harm and help, death and the politics of bare life. Each chapter grapples with issues that help illustrate wider trends in Global Development and International Relations scholarship and teaching. Amidst growing cynicism about human or even humanitarian values, the volume appeals for a politics of hope and social justice, based on the fluid contours of borderless and amorphous processes of self-organising and radical anarchy. Helen Hintjens is Assistant Professor in Development and Social Justice at the International Institute of Social Studies in The Hague, The Netherlands. For more than 30 years she has studied the comparative asylum policies of EU member states in the context of broader post-colonial relationships and ideas. Her particular interests are in pro-asylum advocacy networks and activists, the politics of selective urban surveillance of undocumented rejected asylum seekers, and networks of 'cities of sanctuary', as well as resistance to deterrence-based measures of destitution, detention and forced deportation. Her regional focus is on the countries of the Great Lakes region, especially Rwanda and Eastern DRC, and the relations of francophone Africa with EU member states. She works on peace-building, including through music and the arts, in Rwanda and the wider region.
