The Marine and Coastal Access Bill includes legislative provisions for improving public rights of access to the English coast. This paper examines the background to the coastal access proposals and analyses the draft legislative framework in the context of ongoing controversies over the creation of public rights of access to private land.

Sustainable Nostalgia

June 2010 · Memory Studies

Jeremy Davies

The ecological ideal of ‘sustainability’ is defensible, but controversial. It valorizes a certain way of inhabiting the world not by defining it directly, but by imagining its perpetual reproduction. I argue that what sustainability offers us is a way of being nostalgic for the future.The sustainable present will become our true home because it is the point to which the future will always recur; ... [Show full abstract] we look nostalgically to the future because it is there that the present will be inhabited as our home. Nostalgic imaginings are not, then, just a regulative ideal for ecological praxis. Nostalgia is called upon as an ethical principle, and the characteristics of this memory-work will affect the shape of our future.

Planning, law and economics: An investigation of the rules we make for using land

September 2006

Barrie Needham

What rights does the state have over privately owned land? Why should some landowners be favoured over others? How can the practice of land-use planning be improved? This book addresses these essential questions and shows that the interests people have in property rights over land and buildings are not just emotional but often financial too. It follows that the law, which affects who has property ... [Show full abstract] rights, what those rights are and how they may be used, can have great financial consequences for people and great economic consequences for society in general. For those reasons, looking at land-use planning as it affects and is affected by property rights illuminates some core aspects of land-use planning, including the law, economics, ethics and ideology. In this book, Needham examines those aspects from the clear perspective of property rights.

February 2018

Emma R. Power

Australia is a nation of pet owners with over sixty per cent of households including at least one companion animal. Yet despite the prevalence of companion animals, they are unevenly located across housing forms. Compared with detached privately owned housing, strata title developments have been particularly restrictive to pet-keeping. Drawing on qualitative research from Sydney, Australia, this ... [Show full abstract] chapter examines how pet ownership and practices of neighbouring apartments are shaped by the responsibilities that accompany pet-keeping. It highlights how pets can bring neighbours together, but also identifies likely points of tension. The chapter reviews the governance of pets through strata title and ethical implications of such governance. It reflects on the responsibilities of pet owners as well as those of the broader community of owners.

Informer ou promouvoir : la variété des formats de publicité native sur Internet et les enjeux qu’il...

January 2018

La publicité native (PN) constitue une forme en plein essor sur Internet . Émergeant au tournant du XXIe siècle, elle est dite « native » puisqu’elle s’encastre dans le design des supports qui l’accueillent, au lieu d’être reléguée aux espaces publicitaires traditionnels. Près de la ligne éditoriale du titre qui l’accueille, ce «contenu de marque» suppose une approche intégrée et souvent même ... [Show full abstract] journalistique de la promotion.
