Residential landscapes—Garden design, urban planning and Social Formation in Belgium
Urban Forestry & Urban Greening, 2018Co-Authors: Bruno NotteboomAbstract:Abstract This paper aims at providing a historical understanding of the role of gardens and green spaces in urbanization and urban planning, as well as in processes of Social Formation and Social mobility that took place on the background of a changing spatial, socio-economical and political context in Belgium in the period 1889–1940. The research is based on a number of case studies, which represent different stages and themes in the evolution of garden design, urban planning and society: 1) vernacular versus designed gardens and landscapes; 2) the popularization of the garden and the development of a new framework for urban planning; 3) the garden city versus private arcadia and 4) modern garden design and the rise of the middle class (1930–1940). Through an analysis of designs and discourses of, amongst others, leading landscape architects/urban planners Louis Van der Swaelmen, Jules Buyssens and Jean Canneel-Claes, the paper exposes a number of ambiguities and tensions, for example between the ‘vernacular garden’ and the ‘garden of the establishment’ and between the deep-rooted dream of a privately owned house and garden, and attempts to create new Social and spatial frameworks that surpass the individual lot. The paper concludes that these tensions can still be traced in the context in which landscape designers and urban planners work today. This historical awareness, however, can help them to set out strategic goals for the contemporary garden as a place of both production and consumption, and as a place where Social identity is shaped.

residential landscapes garden design urban planning and Social Formation in belgium

Did Marx Put Forward the Theory of "Five Types of Social Formation"?——A Reply to Professor XI Zhao-yong
Teaching and Research, 2006Co-Authors: Duan Zhong-qiaoAbstract:This paper replies to the questions put forth by Professor XI Zhao-yong in his article"On the Discussion of Five Types Social Formations"one by one,and shows that all of them are not well-founded for lack of textaual evidence.In order to further prove that Marx never put forward the theory of "five types of Social Formation",but merely the theory of "three great Social Formations",this paper also offers two brief arguments in terms of the purpose and method of Marx studying Social Formation.

Marx Never Put Forward the Theory of "Five Types of Social Formation"——A Reply to Professor Zhao Jia-xiang
Journal of Renmin University of China, 2006Co-Authors: Duan Zhong-qiaoAbstract:Professor Zhao Jiaxiang believes that there are many bases of the theory of "five types of Social Formation" in the works of Marx and Engels,but none of the bases given by him are tenable in fact,thus can not show that the theory was put forward by Marx and Engels themselves.None of his arguments for "two conceptive confusions" and "three self-contradictories" are tenable,because they lack textual bases and have obviously logical contradictories with Marx's "three great Social Formations" he agreed.

Questioning the Theoretical Basis for "Five Types of Social Formation" --Reinterpreting a Well-known Quotation from "The Preface to The Critique of Political Economy"
Journal of Nanjing University, 2005Co-Authors: Duan Zhong-qiaoAbstract:In "The Preface to The Critique of Political Economy" Marx wrote a famous passage: " In broad outlines Asiatic, ancient, feudal and modern bourgeois modes of production can be designated as progressive epochs in the economic Formation of society". The theory of "five types of Social Formation" that is prevalent in our country understands the passage as meaning that the development of human society displays the successive replacement of Asiatic society, ancient society, feudal society and capitalist society, and takes this understanding as it' s a main basis. This thesis points out that the understanding is not in keeping with what Marx meant, because it is in contradiction with many expositions in The Grundrisse Marx wrote at same time. By reinterpreting the passage in "The Preface" on The Grundrisse, this thesis shows that Marx never put forward the theory of " five types of Social Formation" , but merely the theory of " three great Social Formations".

Centripetal settlement and segmentary Social Formation of the Banpo tradition
Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, 2007Co-Authors: Yun Kuen LeeAbstract:Abstract Creating a spatial environment to facilitate Social operation is a common practice among human groups. Segmentary Social Formations have limited regulatory capacity due to the lack of formally sanctified authorities. The pressure is on the emergency of atternative mechanisms that regulate the practice of segmentary principles. The Neolithic site at Jiangzhai in North China is a classic archaeological example of using the centripetal plan and demarcated space to support the working of segmentary organization. The occupation was partitioned into three concentric divisions of the central plaza, residential and burial zones. The later two zones were further demarcated into spatially discrete areas for allocating the Social segments comprising the community. The arrangement translated the abstract segmentary principles into tangible space where everyday practices played out. It created a spatiality that placed individual acts under the watch of the entire community, thus enabling the effective policing against deviated practices by public opinions. Analyses of the material remains distributed in the highly ordered built environment indicate that food sharing was practiced in the communal level, and craft production of the ceramics was likely organized in the household level. Patterns of monochrome paintings and etched signs on the ceramics suggest the sharing of symbolism in a pan-community network. The study also isolates the budding of non-conforming acts that would one day fracture the segmentary community.
