Correction at Cabrini-Green: A Sociospatial Exercise of Power

Foucault developed theories on the exercise of power so that they might be applied to geographically and historically specific instances, In this paper I analyze the processes of power recently in operation on the black population of the Cabrini-Green housing development in Chicago. Previously excluded from the larger urban matrix, the residents have been subject to a variety of forces—Involving discipline, discursive containment, physical repression, and deterrence —as attempts have been made to ‘reclaim’ the area and regulate the sociospatial control of bodies. Issues of visibility, knowledge, and situation are paramount both in the processes of power involved in ‘rehabilitating’ Cabrini-Green and in the residents' resistance to such outside intervention.

The Development of Neurological Surgery at Cook County Hospital

The development of neurosurgery in Chicago has rather unique beginnings. The key contributions by well-known general surgeon demonstrators who worked at Chicago's Cook County Hospital in the late 1800s and early 1900s are highlighted. The formation of neurosurgical academic programs and educational development in Chicago is detailed further and placed in perspective.

Can Public Power be Kept Private?

Chicago has been something of an anomaly in historical studies. Urban historians have written extensively on the politics, society, and economies of such major cities as New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. They have chronicled the history of small cities whose past is less complicated, more amenable to the case study approach favored by many researchers. But, the nation's second-now third-largest city for decades attracted, more often than not, those who saw it as a dysfunctional environment, either for its lack of political reform, epitomized by its so-called machine politics, or for its ethnic and racial strife. Reading the titles on any shelf of books on Chicago history, sociology, and political science easily suggests more of an urban pathology than an urban history. Fortunately this situation has begun to change. The last five years have produced a flurry of new works on Chicago. Some of these examine the city's social groups, placing the city's residents into their urban context. 1 Other very recent works explore economic and technological aspects of the city's history that not only challenge us to rethink our preconceptions about how and why Chicago developed as it did, but also to see the growth of its political and social fabric as a function of the city's history, not as a pathology.2 Still, very little has yet been written about the development of Chicago's political structures, about the history of its municipal government. That is one reason why Robin Einhorn's book, Property Rules, is such a welcome addition to the literature on this fascinating city. Moreover, her examination of Chicago's political structures during its early years as an incorporated city illuminates a period of Chicago political history that has been even more neglected than others. In this book Einhorn reconstructs the workings of Chicago's municipal government in its initial decades, from the city's incorporation in 1833 to the immediate aftermath of its tragic fire in 1871. These forty years were the for-

Urban Regimes, Sports Stadiums, and the Politics of Economic Development Agendas in Chicago

Sports issues have increasingly become prominent items on the urban policy agenda. Most demands for sports‐related policies have been woven into the general fabric of economic development in the community. in this article, the authors examine the issues surrounding sports stadium development in Chicago from 1985–90. An urban regime framework, based on the notion of governing coalitions, is used to analyze the incorporation of stadiums into Chicago's policy agenda during these years. The article is instructive of the way in which progressive city administrations have used the regime to mediate corporate demands for the often intangible benefits of sports.

William Dean' Theory of Urban Growth: Chicago's Commerce and Industry, 1854–1871

William H. Dean, Jr. argued the development of a commercial agglomeration at any site is a function of three interrelated variables: trade routes, position, and nodality. Industrial agglomerations follow commercial ones. Dean's theory is discussed and applied to Chicago's growth before the Great Fire of 1871. The initial development of Chicago's transportation infrastructure is described. Data for the balance of receipts and shipments of selected items and growth rates for receipts and shipments from 1854 to 1871 are presented.

Interconnection and Power Development in Chicago and the Middle West

The development of power stations in the Chicago District is described, showing how small stations have been replaced, and the energy supply for light, power, and traction consolidated by the use of high-voltage lines. The interconnections between stations and the developments of recent years and for the immediate future are outlined. This includes cables at 66,000 and 132,000 volts, with circuit capacities of 60,000 kv-a. A station in central Illinois, near the coal supply, is being tied in with the Chicago District. Interchange of energy between companies is conducted under an agreement, which is an important factor in the success of interconnection. Some of the operating problems are outlined briefly.
