Abstract
Throughout American history, cultural norms regarding the behaviour of men and women in public space have extended to their use of transportation, including the automobile. A series of crime films set in San Francisco spanning seven decades are examined in relation to these norms and how this has changed over decades. While Lefebvre observes a potential for art and culture to facilitate social change, these movies largely reinforce stereotypes about men, women and cars.

ABSTRACTIn Germany, the Revolutions of 1848 and 1918/19 resulted in the martyrdom of opposition leaders and constituents, whose burial sites in Berlin became key sites of memory and commemoration for the working-class movement. Political turbulence and regime change throughout the twentieth century has resulted in contestation over the meaning and use of these places; a trajectory illustrating the dynamic, reciprocal relationship between popular memory and official history, and the interplay between representation, place-based associations and spatial relations in constituting social meaning in the urban landscape.
