International audience ; This article explores how home is made and re-made on national television screens by reference to new domestic lifestyle genres. Through a comparative analysis of the property TV of English-language broadcasters in the UK and US, as well as the minority-language Welsh broadcaster S4C, this article examines the inter-relationship of domestic scenes of private homes with the formation of national constructions of homelands and national belonging. The aestheticization of everyday home life is tied both to distinct material cultural practices and to the politics of taste in the formation of cultural identities within distinct national locales.

This paper uses interview data to explore and examines property markets in three Chinese cities with the focus placed on the emergence of the commercial property markets and the government-market interplay, noting the market formation process and cycles that are 'unexpected' in a transitional economy. The research identified varying opinions and perceptions among key stake-holders about cycles in China's emerging commercial property markets. Interviews in the three cities suggested a spectrum of factors that may substantially affect the stability of China's office markets. A cross-sectional comparison of the three cities has revealed a similar pattern of cyclical behaviour highlighting structural change and state intervention with leads-and-lags, in spite of the dispersion in geography, culture and market maturity. The various views offered about market mechanism and cyclical behaviour represent varying levels of market maturity. These brief insights offer an opportunity to develop an alternative approach to measure property market conditions in emerging or immature markets such as China. ; published_or_final_version

As legal years go, action on the 1996 legislative and judicial fronts was relatively quiet in the area of property law. The legislative activity which spawned most of the interest was bills addressing the definitional limits of the unauthorized practice of law in real estate closings. These bills were not enacted and have been carried over for the next legislative session. Several judicial decisions, although none could be described as landmark determinations, are of interest and clarify points of law. These cases, as well as selected items of legislation which are believed to be of the most practical interest to the practitioner, are what follow.
