	European Capital of Culture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The European Capital of Culture is a city designated by the European Union for a period of one year during which it is given a chance to showcase its cultural life and cultural development.
		A number of European cities have used the City of Culture year to completely transform their cultural base and, in doing so, the way in which they are viewed internationally.
		Conceived as a means of bringing European citizens closer together, the European City of Culture was launched on June 13, 1985 by the Council of Ministers on the initiative of Greek Culture Minister Melina Mercouri.

		The word capital is derived from the Latin caput meaning "head," and possibly related to Capitolinus, the tallest hill in Ancient Rome and that city's religious and historic center.
		In South Africa, for example, the administrative capital is Pretoria, the legislative capital is Cape Town, and the judicial capital is Bloemfontein, the outcome of the compromise that created the Union of South Africa in 1910.
		Unlike medieval capitals, which were declared wherever a monarch held his or her court, the selection, relocation, founding, or capture of a modern capital city is an emotional affair.

		Liberals and conservatives alike now celebrate social capital as the key to success in a myriad of domestic issues—from public education, aging, and mental health to the battle against inner-city crime and the rejuvenation of America's small towns.
		American society may have moved too much in the direction of individualism and freedom, but a return to tightly integrated communities would bring its own problems.
		In the celebratory view of social capital, if an agricultural cooperative advances economically or a city effectively carries out a reform program, it is because they had high levels of social capital to begin with; if they fail, they did not.

		In both cases, notably, authors were virtually unanimous in their judgments that what Mexicans sorely needed was “Americanization.” Thus, González repudiates Chicano nationalist frameworks in favor of an analysis that emphasizes the primacy of empire as a form of transnational capital accumulation that has been constitutive of both the U.S. and Mexico.
		Perhaps the most memorable revelation in Culture of Empire is González’s discovery of a persistent and explicit Orientalism in the discourses that constructed “the Mexican” as approximating various colonized Oriental subjects.
		The effectively global mobility of capital, then, is accompanied by any variety of national or imperial political projects aimed at labor subordination, and the greater or lesser regulation of labor’s comparably transnational mobility.

	Capital, Class and Technology in Contemporary American Culture: Projecting Post-Fordism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In this original and stimulating study, Nick Heffernan demonstrates that the postmodern is not only a cultural matter: it bears on the transformations wrought by and within contemporary capitalism itself.
		In a stimulating reading of the relationship between cultural forms of social, economic, and political change in postwar America, Heffernan uses a range of cultural texts--film, literature, reportage--to illuminate the processes and modes by which crisis and social, economic, and cultural changes are registered.
		Using the links between narrative cultural forms and the process of historical understanding, he brings together debates that have so far been conducted largely within the separate domains of political economy, social theory, and cultural criticism to provide a compelling analysis of contemporary cultural change.

		Capital punishment is only one issue, but violent media has certainly affected social attitudes towards many social and political issues, such as police brutality, illegal drugs, prisons, welfare, and war.

	FindLaw's Writ - Lundsgaard: A Review of The Death Penalty: An American History
		Even for those (such as myself) who are merely interested in American legal history, it is a fascinating historical survey of a legal issue that has transfixed and divided the country for decades.
		It is also plain that capital punishment will have the justice system's attention for quite a while, for numerous death sentences have been put into question by the holdings in Ring and Atkins.
		Consistent with his view that the death penalty is a proxy issue for more fundamental cultural divisions over the nature of human personality and free will, Banner concludes that the status of the death penalty in America will not be finally resolved until our general social view of human nature changes.

		This article explores the potential of social capital and culture for contributing to economic and social development.
		It is argued here that although it is true that the integration of the questions of social capital and culture into development discussions makes the search for suitable strategies and designs more complex, it is equally true that policies based on designs which leave out such aspects have proved to suffer from serious limitations.
		The article first of all explores the general idea of social capital, with emphasis not so much on theoretical analysis as on the concrete presence of such capital in actual situations.
