    This book examines design proposals that show symbolic handling of the 9/11 attack on New York, the disaster symbolism of the ship washed ashore by the tsunami in Banda Aceh, and the design of the symbol of the city of Cape Town derived from a remnant of Dutch colonial architecture, or the mass pilgrimage to Elvis’s Graceland in Memphis. Cities Full of Symbols develops urban symbolic ecology and hypercity approaches into a new perspective on social cohesion. Approaches of architects, anthropologists, sociologists, social geographers and historians converge to make this a book for anyone interested in urban life, policymaking and city branding. Overal in steden zijn de betekenisvolle symbolen te vinden die samen de stadscultuur vormen. In de bundel Cities Full of Symbols, worden voorbeelden van Jakarta tot Leiden en van Buenos Aires tot New York gebruikt, en wordt aan de hand van de ‘urban symbolism theory’ ingezoomd op symbolen zoals stadslayout, standbeelden, straatnamen en de heersende populaire cultuur. Dit boek onderzoekt de symboliek die ten grondslag ligt aan de bouwplannen na de aanslagen op 11 september in New York, de betekenis van het tijdens de tsunami aangespoelde schip in Banda Atjeh, het stadslogo van Kaapstad dat is afgeleid van Nederlandse koloniale architectuur, en de massale pelgrimage naar Elvis’ Graceland in Memphis.

    In Cities Full of Symbols wordt door middel van stedelijke symbolische ecologie en hypercity benaderingen een nieuw perspectief ontwikkeld over sociale cohesie. Deze bundel verenigt benaderingen van architecten, antropologen, sociologen, sociaal geografen en historici. Dit is een boek voor iedereen met interesse in het stadsleven, beleidsvorming en stadsmarketing.

    This collection of essays brings together a decade of writings on translation by leading international translation studies expert, Susan Bassnett. The essays cover a range of topics and will be useful to anyone with an interest in how different cultures communicate. Bassnett draws upon her personal experience to explore issues such as why the same things cannot be expressed in all languages, why translators in war zones risk their lives for their work, whether humour can travel across cultures, why translated menus are often so bad and whether poetry does indeed get lost in translation
