The study will allow to reflect on the following phenomenos: the state of Goiás has an identity catirana? How to identify the basis that guarantee the existence of the territorial identity of catira? It is unreasonable affirmate that in the state of Goiás, the territoriality of the manifestation of catira present themselves in different ways producing symbols and meanings that gives sense to the space and local culture? How do these dances become symbolic elements that mark a territorial basis? What is the relationship between the body and embodiment in the dance? catira is referenced continously and with a creatively form through the artistic languages, memories, narratives, images and cultural expressions in the Goiás festivals. This study should be understood as a way to recognize and elicit the production of cultural identity, theirs influences and diversity created into the territory analyzed, and discuss the territorial dimensions built for the dance. The methodological procedures are aggregated into a set of sources and data, witch obtained through literature searches and field. It has been adopted as a reference, the cultural approach to Human Geography for this study. The qualifications earned at the social subjects are supported in the groups analyzeds in the oral history, in the observation and also, in the interviews makeds. The photographic records will be refers in this research of the manifestation of catira. The spatial area of the study involves three cities of the Goiás: Anápolis/GO, Silvânia/GO e São João D’Aliança/GO, respectively because of the due the years of existence, the recognition in nacional and internacional and the different festivals of presentations. In each of these locations were investigates respectively the groups of Catira: Irmãos Floriano, Água Branca e Aliança. As part of the results, it becomes possible to recognize that the dances discussed promove a inicial form of construction the identities catiranas in Goiás. Futhermore in this study shows these dances promove individual and collective identities that provide the territorialities that consist in the process of reinterpretation of the language, body and memory and reconstructed, allowing in this new meanings. / O presente estudo descreve e analisa a construção da identidade cultural e territorial que se origina na formação de territorialidades de tradições goianas, o caso das danças de catira. O estudo permitirá refletir sobre os seguintes fenômenos: o estado de Goiás possui uma identidade catirana? Como identificar as bases que garantem a existência de uma identidade territorial da catira? É pertinente afirmar que no estado de Goiás as territorialidades da manifestação da catira se apresentam sob diferentes formas produzindo símbolos e significados que dão sentido ao espaço e a cultura local? De que forma essas danças se tornam elementos simbólicos que demarcam uma base territorial? Qual a relação existente entre o corpo e a corporeidade na dança? A catira é referenciada continuamente e de forma criativa por meio das linguagens artísticas, memórias, narrativas, imagens e expressões culturais nas festas goianas. Esse estudo deve ser compreendido como uma maneira de reconhecer e trazer à tona a produção de identidades culturais, suas influências e diversidades criadas no território analisado, além de discutir as dimensões territoriais construídas pela dança. Os procedimentos metodológicos agregam-se em um conjunto de fontes e dados obtido por meio de pesquisas bibliográficas e de campo. Tem-se como referência adotada, a abordagem cultural presente na Geografia Humana para o estudo proposto. As ressalvas granjeadas junto aos sujeitos sociais que compõem os grupos pesquisados são apoiadas nas análises da história oral, nas observações e também nas entrevistas realizadas. Recorre-se também aos registros fotográficos dessa manifestação. O recorte espacial do estudo envolve três cidades goianas, a saber: Anápolis/GO, Silvânia/GO e São João D’Aliança/GO, respectivamente devido aos anos de existência, ao reconhecimento nacional e internacional e as apresentações em diferentes festejos. Em cada uma dessas localidades investigou-se respectivamente os grupos de catira: Irmãos Floriano, Água Branca e Aliança. Como parte dos resultados, torna-se possível reconhecer que as danças analisadas promovem de forma inicial a construção de identidades culturais catiranas em Goiás. Ademais nesse estudo se aponta que essas danças ao promoverem a compleição de identidades individuais e coletivas estabelecem as territorialidades que se constituem por processos de reinterpretação da linguagem, do corpo e da memória e que se reconstroem, permitindo no presente novas significações.

General aim to understand the processes of territorialization of Sateré-Mawé in the Metropolitan Region of Manaus and specific objectives: Identify the territories Sateré-Mawé in the Metropolitan Region of Manaus and the processes that led to its production, to verify the list of territories in Metropolitan area of Manaus to the territories of origin and demonstrate the territoriality of Sateré-Mawé these territories. We used the methodology of participatory research survey with primary sources through field work, with open interviews, oral history, construction of cartograms participants, photographic records, and georeferencing survey of secondary sources in documents of the surveyed communities, public institutions and indigenous organizations. There was production of new territories, initially coming from the familiar group of Clan of the Hawk, who territorializationed giving rise communities and, therefore created the urban indigenous territories where reterritorializationed bringing significant cultural elements, building a new territoriality where the base is the original territory, and use them as a means of identification, reaffirmation and subsistence, where retained habits of culture, recreated and added others. / A presente pesquisa aborda o processo de desterritorialização, reterritorialização e a produção de novos territórios dos Sateré-Mawé a partir da migração do clã do Gavião do território Andirá/Marau à cidade de Manaus, tendo como área de estudo as comunidades I‟apyrehyt, Waikiru, Inhãa-bé, Hywi (Manaus/AM), Sahu-Apé (Iranduba/AM) e Waraná (Manaquiri/AM). Tem como objetivo geral compreender os processos de territorialização dos Sateré-Mawé na Região Metropolitana de Manaus, e, como objetivos específicos: identificar os territórios Sateré-Mawé na Região Metropolitana de Manaus e os processos que levaram a sua produção, verificar a relação dos territórios produzidos na área Metropolitana de Manaus com os territórios originários e demonstrar a territorialidade dos Sateré-Mawé nestes territórios. Utilizou-se a metodologia da pesquisa participante com levantamento de fontes primárias por meio de trabalho de campo, com entrevistas abertas, história oral, construção dos cartogramas participantes, registros fotográficos, georreferenciamento e levantamento de fontes secundárias em documentos das comunidades pesquisadas, instituições públicas e organizações indígenas. Houve a produção de novos territórios, inicialmente a partir da vinda do grupo familiar do clã do Gavião, que se territorializaram dando origem às comunidades e, por conseguinte, criaram os territórios indígenas urbanos onde se reterritorializaram trazendo os elementos culturais significativos construindo uma nova territorialidade onde a base é o território original, e os utilizam como meio de identificação, reafirmação e subsistência, onde conservaram hábitos da cultura, reinventaram e adicionaram outros.

Recent years have brought a resurgence of state-led plans to expand access to electricity over African polities. Nonetheless, and in line with deep-seated patterns of infrastructural and general abandonment by the centre, very few of those plans have seriously addressed poor, distant, sparse and scarcely endowed peripheral regions. Those rare instances have received scant attention in the literature, despite their precious value to single out key interactions between national electricity regimes and core-periphery political linkages. Addressing that gap, this thesis pays attention to schemes of peripheral electrification to better understand how African states govern their peripheries. To that end, it scrutinizes two schemes of electrification: northern Ghana from 1989 to 2012, and southeastern Tanzania from 2004 to 2015. The thesis argues that in northern Ghana central rulers embarked upon electrification against the odds of geographical determinism, guided as they were by political motivations, chief amongst them the extraction of narrow electoral rents. By contrast, in southeastern Tanzania central rulers endeavoured to tap into the abundance of gas, governed by a determination to advance business models inscribed in the national electricity regime. Ultimately though, the central rulers in Tanzania were forced to re-politicize electrification to appease the deep local resentment caused by the very extraction of gas flowing toward the capital. Both cases thus illuminate varying trajectories in the interplay between national electricity regimes and core-periphery political linkages, that shaped the territorial strategies of electrification. In addition, this thesis also offers two revelations. One first revelation is that sub-national units exert significant mediations in the linkages between core and periphery, via alterations of distributional settlements. This goes against a stream of literature that pays attention exclusively to vertical strategies engineered from political rulers in the centre. The second revelation is that over the long-term electrification alters the political linkages between core and periphery. This squares well with the predictions of theories about the infrastructural power of the state. All in all, this work affords an embryonic analytical elaboration on the strategies of territoriality in the electrification of regional peripheries in Africa. From a political geography perspective, this helps to illuminate how sub-national electrification can simultaneously redraw and reinforce long-entrenched political linkages between core and periphery.

Por meio da análise conceitual de territorialidade gay, verificar a dinâmica da produção e reprodução dos espaços gays na Rua Frei Caneca e na Avenida Vieira de Carvalho identificando assim os padrões com suas diferenças e semelhanças, limites e limitações nesses dois espaços, com enfoque ao primeiro caso, em que se dá um processo de renovação urbana. A pesquisa procura analisar até que ponto é possível falar em territorialidade gay e continuidade entre essas duas espacialidades multiterritoriais. Entre as questões a serem discutidas estão: como esses espaços são utilizados em diferentes momentos no dia e na semana; como se configura o padrão de consumo nesses dois espaços e por fim, como se mantém ou altera (e até que ponto) uma homogeneidade interna nos dois casos. / Through conceptual analysis of gay territoriality, check the dynamics of production and reproduction of gay spaces at Frei Caneca street and Vieira de Carvalho Avenue thus identifying the standards with their differences and similarities, boundaries and limitations in these two areas, with the first focus event, which occurs in a process of urban renewal. The research seeks to analyze to what extent it is possible to speak of gay and territorial continuity between these two spatialities multi-territory. Among the issues to be discussed are: how these spaces are used at different times in the day and week; the configuration of the consumption pattern in these two areas and finally, how to maintain or alter (and to what extent) an internal homogeneity in both cases.

Resgatar a identidade de remanescentes de quilombos e sua ancestralidade foi a oportunidade encontrada pelas comunidades rurais negras, no Vale do Ribeira de Iguape, para superar os conflitos que emergiram na região, após a abertura política para o desenvolvimento territorial, a partir dos anos de 1950. Ao mesmo tempo, encontraram, no processo de valorização da memória, o resgate e a valorização das tradições que são o suporte para as mudanças necessárias no presente. Os conflitos surgiram no Vale do Ribeira em torno da posse e da propriedade da terra, por consequencia da introdução das políticas públicas e, como desígnio desse processo, destacaram-se as territorialidades das comunidades de quilombos, uma vez que esses grupos resistiram às pressões sofridas e conseguiram manter o modo de vida tradicional contíguo ao território que já era ocupando por seus ancestrais, há mais de cem anos. O direito constitucional conquistado por força da luta do movimento negro, em defesa da propriedade das terras quilombolas no Brasil, trouxe para as comunidades rurais negras uma garantia em defesa de seus direitos étnicos e culturais. Esta pesquisa teve o propósito de estudar as comunidades de quilombos, no Vale do Ribeira de Iguape, pelo fato de nessa região, estar concentrada grande parte desses grupos e, de uma forma mais ampla, foi onde se deu o inicio da luta do movimento quilombola no Estado de São Paulo, na busca de seus direitos. Motivados pela ameaça de construção da Hidrelétrica-Tijuco Alto, no Rio Ribeira, e pela criação das Unidades de Conservação sobre seus territórios, que provocaram mudanças nos seus modos de vida, essas comunidades cobraram do Estado o cumprimento do artigo constitucional em defesa de seus direitos. / Redemmthe identity of former quilombo and his ancestry was found found by the opportnity to rural black communities in the Ribeira Valley Iguape to Excel to the conflicts that emerged in the region after the political opening for territorial development from the 1950s. Ad while they found the process of recovery of memory, the rescue and recovery of traditions, which are support for the necesary changes in the present. Conflicts have arise in the Ribeira Valley over the ownership of land and property, as consequence of the introduction of public policies and how to design this process stood ou the territoriality of public policies and how to design groups resisted the intense pressure and managed to maintain, the traditional way of life to the contiguous territory that was already occupied by their ancestors for more than one hundred years. The constitutional right eamed by virtue of the struggle of the black movement in Brazil in defense of tenure Maroons brought to a rural blach communities in defending their warranty rigts and ethnic culture. This research aimed to explore the communities directiy inthe Ribeira Valley Iguape because this region is concentrated most of these groups, and more broadly where it was made the early struggle of the maroon in the State of Sao Paulo in defense of their. Motivated by the threat of construction of the Hydroelectric Tijuco Alto Rio Ribeira, and the cration of protected area on their territory that has led to changes in their lifestyles these communities forced the State to fulfill the constitutional article in defese of their lands.

Many canids live within hierarchical social systems that could promote differences in learning or in behavior between ranked individuals. Differences in foraging and territorial behavior have been observed between ranked coyotes (Canis latrans), yet effects of learning and social status on coyote behavior are not thoroughly understood. I explored a) coyote response to an artificial scent boundary and whether response differed by status, b) how foraging coyotes tracked temporal resource change, and c) how coyotes find spatially distributed food, and the effect of dominance on foraging behavior. I used male/female pairs of captive coyotes at the National Wildlife Research Center Predator Research Facility in Utah. Prior to testing, I identified social rank within pairs by testing for food dominance. In study 1, I laid a scent boundary and monitored space use with GPS and observed behavioral responses directly. All coyotes investigated and crossed the boundary, but were repelled more by human presence. Subordinates investigated and marked the boundary more than dominants. Further investigation is needed to mimic natural boundaries for management purposes. In study 2, I gave eight individual coyotes an operant test with concurrent variable interval (VI) schedules. I varied the ratio of resources and measured the time spent on two choices, then fitted the generalized matching equation to the data. I found that all coyotes efficiently tracked changes in resource ratios and matched their relative rate of foraging time to relative rate of resources. Matching theory provides an effective methodology to explore foraging strategies and behavioral flexibility in coyotes. In study 3, I tested 16 coyotes in a spatial foraging task. Coyotes searched for food in eight potential locations, and were tested individually and in respective pairs. I recorded the area and number of locations searched, approach time, and frequency of marking by dominant and subordinate coyotes. Results showed individual subordinates increased efficiency by relocating, but their efficiency decreased when foraging in pairs. Dominant coyotes did not increase efficiency in company by following subordinates. Coyotes marked the correct feeder more than incorrect feeders. Results suggest coyotes use memory and odor (scent marks) to find food, but that social status overrules information use.

This thesis examines six prominent Pecos River Style rock art anthropomorph attributes to determine if they are found in limited geographic districts of the Lower Pecos Region. Both Boyd (2003) and Turpin (2004) have suggested that spatially-segregated motif distributions exist in the rock art and that these patterns are important in understanding regional prehistoric hunter-gatherer lifeways during the Archaic Period. This study verifies that the feather hip cluster motif is geographically limited, identified only in the neighboring Seminole and Painted Canyon systems. As part of this spatial analysis, the previously undocumented principle of intersite stylistic traditions is introduced. Possible explanations for these anthropomorph attributes are also discussed. Finally, structural analyses of the six attributes are presented.

Large displays and information kiosks are becoming increasingly common installations in public venues to provide an efficient self-serve means for patrons to access information and/or services. They have evolved over a relatively short period of time from non-digital, non-interactive static displays to more elaborate media-rich digital interactive systems. While the content and purposes of kiosks have changed, they are still largely based on the traditional single-user-driven design paradigm despite the fact that people often venture to these venues in small social groups, i.e., with family and/or friends. This often limits how groups collaborate and forces transactions to be serialized. This thesis explores design constraints for interaction by multiple social groups in parallel on shared large vertical displays. To better understand design requirements for these systems, this research is separated into two parts: a preliminary observational field study and a follow-up controlled study. Using an observational field study, fundamental patterns of how people use existing public displays are studied: their orientation, positioning, group identification, and behaviour within and between social groups just-before, during, and just-after usage. These results are then used to motivate a controlled experiment where two individuals or two pairs of individuals complete tasks concurrently on a low-fidelity large vertical display. Results from the studies demonstrate that vertical surface territories are similar to those found in horizontal tabletops in function, but their definitions and social conventions are different. In addition, the nature of use-while-standing systems results in more complex and dynamic physical territories around the display. We show that the anthropological notion of personal space must be slightly refined for application to vertical displays.
