Existe a necessidade de analisar as especificidades do processo de redefinição da centralidade, ou seja, seus desdobramentos, suas dimensões, localizações e outros aspectos que favoreçam o seu entendimento em cidades de porte médio. As mudanças na organização espacial das cidades mostram o surgimento de novas áreas com expressivas atividades comerciais, de serviços e todo um fluxo que expressa a centralidade. Neste processo, ocorre a descontinuidade territorial urbana e a criação destes novos espaços que representam a sua fragmentação. Esta pesquisa estudou a reprodução do espaço urbano discutindo a questão da centralidade na cidade de Bauru SP. Assim, buscou-se compreender a formação das centralidades e os seus desdobramentos numa cidade média do interior paulista. Para tanto, foram privilegiadas as seguintes formas de pesquisa: teórica, empírica e histórica. No que diz respeito ao crescimento da cidade e ao desenvolvimento urbano a fase histórica teve como diretriz a relação tempo ¿ espaço. A discussão teórica partiu da questão do espaço para compreender a reprodução do espaço urbano como a sua territorialidade ¿ centralidade. Foi produzido material cartográfico sobre a nova organização espacial da cidade, destacando a sua centralidade. Finalmente os resultados desta pesquisa estarão disponibilizados ao poder municipal no sentido de contribuir com planejamento urbano municipal / Abstract: It is noticed in the analysis of the urban centralization that there is a certain interdependence between dynamics which involve the internal structure of the cities, concerning the new locals for trading equipment, the use of vehicles, and also other aspects which are found not only in big cities but also in medium-sized cities, which is the case of Bauru, a city in the countryside of Sao Paulo, Brazil. There is a need to analyze the specifications of the process to redefine centralization, that is, its growing, its dimensions, its locations, and other aspects which contribute to its understanding in medium-sized cities. The changes in the spatial organization of the cities promote the appearance of new areas which have significant trading activities and services as well as a flow which express this centralization. During this process, there is the occurrence of the urban territorial discontinuity and the foundation of these new spaces which represent their fragmentation. This research aims to study the urbanization process focusing on the centralization aspects in Bauru-SP. Thus, seeking for a better understanding of the centralization and its consequences in a medium-sized city. Therefore the following sort of researches will be envisaged: theoretical, empirical and historical. Concerning the growing in the city and the urban development, the historical phase will take as guideline the time-space relationship. The theoretical discussion will take the matters around space to realize the opening of urban areas like its territories-centralities. Some cartographic material will be prepared which will represent the results of such research concerning to a new spatial organization in the city with focus in its centralization. Finally the results will be made available to municipal authorities aiming to contribute to the city¿s urban planning / Doutorado / Análise Ambiental e Dinâmica Territorial / Doutor em Ciências

To date, previous discussions of the practise of ”weapon deposition” in prehistoric Scandinavia have focused primarily on the Roman Iron Age. The focus of these investigations have been the large offerings of weapons in bogs, which were presumably taken from enemies defeated in battle. Until recently, these particular kind of ritual practises were thought to have ceased in the middle of the 6th century. It is now widely acknowledged, however, that this sort of ritual practises did not simply dissappear, but instead re-emerged during the Vendel- and Viking age in a changed state. These rites, which are frequently associated with elite groups and so called ”central places” are embodied, for example, in the weapons and other valuable objects deposited in the lake adjacent to the Late Iron Age magnate site at Tissø, Denmark. Similar finds have been recovered in Scania and Gotland, but these practises have not received enough attention compared to other ritual aspects of the Viking Age. This essay therefore aims to investigate the ideologies and motivations underpinning these rites, and provide a reassessment of their possible connection to elites, political and religious centralization, and central places/manorial sites.

The exclusive bronze and gold objects found in the Iron Age ship and rider burials of Vendel, Valsgärde and Sutton Hoo are well known. Less known, however, is the grave field of Vallstenarum on Gotland, where some similar finds have been made. Vallstenarum is located in a highly interesting landscape with former bays and lagoons, Bronze Age monuments, hill forts and a long continuity of human activity. While many of the impressive Bronze Age graves and monuments are widely visible in the landscape, Iron Age burials are more descrete. Therefore, this paper aims to shed light on the people in the Iron Age Vallstena community, their social organisation and their communication with the rest of the world. This will be achieved by analysing grave objects in relation to status and hierarchy, but also in relation to the surrounding landscape and in chronology with nearby archaeological sites. By comparing where similar finds have been made, the paper also discusses the location of Vendel Period central areas and Iron Age trade and communication. The results show a highly symbolic landscape, where the domestic area was separated from the grave fields. The find material also implies that the Vallstena area was involved in a vast communication network during the Vendel Period and possibly functioned as a trade hub through its strategic location next to the Gothem river. The grave activity in the central area of the parish seems to peak during the Vendel period, and the peripheral areas of the parish starts to get more intensively populated in the Viking Age. / I ”Tjelvars” fotspår- Rekonstruktion av det forntida landskapet vid Lina myr på Gotland under 9000 år

This thesis aims to shed light upon three related research areas with the medieval period at their core: medieval Europeanization, the historiography of medieval places, the importance of the cultural environment and medieval period for the present day. By these means several current research angles are integrated within medieval research, the history of science and cultural heritage research. Six investigations of medieval central places in Ångermanland and Medelpad in northern Sweden are used to exemplify these issues. The use of hermeneutic theory emphasises the relationship between the present day community, the individual and the interpretation of history. The sites presented in the thesis represent the entire medieval period from the 11th Century to the start of the 16th Century. Two of them – Kvissle chapel and “Skelettåkern” (=The Skeleton Field) in Björned – functioned as private Christian churches or graveyards; two were important harbours – Sankt Olofshamn (=Saint Olof’s Harbour) and Kyrkesviken (=Church bay); two functioned as military castles or fortifications – Styresholm/ ”Pukeborg” and Bjärtrå stronghold. In addition to these, four medieval stone parish churches have been examined: the old church at Alnö in Medelpad, and the churches of Torsåker, Boteå and Grundsunda in Ångermanland. The Europeanization of Norrland is discussed with reference to aspects such as religious transition and parish formation, monetarization and changes in household structure, trade specialization and administrative territorialization. Central places have played an important role in this process. Historiography illuminates how, and in which contexts, knowledge and understanding of history and medieval central places has developed and been communicated. This includes the use of place names and the oral narration of history, authorship and scientific research into local history. A number of primary school teachers, adult education college (‘folk high school’) teachers and priests were particularly important for the growth of local historical research around the turn of the 20th century. The use of cultural heritage is illustrated with a discussion of how the medieval cultural environments in Ångermanland and Medelpad have been interpreted and used in recent years. This includes aspects such as signposting, teaching and research activities, mass media attention, amateur history plays and similar performances, and the formation of various types of society. These three aspects of Norrland’s medieval period, together with the use of a cultural heritage perspective, form a broader holistic picture of the social role of scientific research and the cultural environment, where local interest in history is important for regional development.

Considerando que a dinâmica urbana constrói-se por meio de práticas materiais e simbólicas, evidenciaram-se conflitos inevitáveis entre os interesses dos grupos que compõem os diversos níveis da realidade - o da dominação política, o da acumulação do capital e o da realização da vida humana. O exame dessas políticas e da ação de diversos atores sociais buscou captar determinados aspectos da dinâmica urbana que passariam despercebidos, se enquadrados exclusivamente pelo enfoque das ações de planejamento urbano, sobretudo no que se refere à refuncionalização das formas-conteúdo da cidade orientados pela lógica do capital. Nessa perspectiva, o trabalho analisou os projetos de intervenção propostos pelo Estado e sua aliança com os setores privados, que agem de maneira estratégica visando à reprodução do capital e à produção de um espaço dominado, homogêneo, fragmentado e hierarquizado. Analisou ainda as representações do centro da cidade de Campinas, para identificar, descrever, refletir e interpretar as experiências de usos e apropriação do espaço cotidiano, do seu patrimônio histórico e das transformações urbanas em curso, pois se acredita que essas representações são uma ferramenta valiosa para o agenciamento de ideias que presidem as ações de planejamento urbano / Abstract: Assuming that the reproduction of the urban space process is a consequence of horizontal and vertical vectors, the purpose of this research was to analyze aspects of the dynamic transformation of urban centers and also to focus on studying the interventions and representations which acts on the reproduction process of the urban space in the center of the city of Campinas. Considering that the urban dynamics is constructed through materials and symbolic practices, it was highlighted the inevitable conflicts among groups that make the various levels of the society such as: the political domination, the accumulation of capital and the realization of human life. The analysis of these policies and the action of a variety of social actors tried to capture some aspects of urban dynamics that are not perceived when focused only by the actions of urban planning, especially when referred to the "form-content" of the city to the new functions influenced by the logic of capital. From this perspective, this study analyzed the projects intervention proposed by the State and its alliance with the private sector, which act strategically in order to reproduce the capital and to produce a dominated, homogeneous, fragmented and hierarchical space. Also, it analyzed the representations in the center of the city of Campinas, to identify, describe, reflect and interpret the uses and appropriation experiences of everyday space, of their historical heritage and their urban transformation in progress. It is believed that these representations are a valuable tool for agency ideas that precede the actions of urban planning / Doutorado / Análise Ambiental e Dinâmica Territorial / Doutora em Geografia

Foram destacados para a investigação 103 artigos publicados nos dois seriados entre 1990 e 2006 que trataram de no mínimo um dos seguintes assuntos: abertura comercial, liberalização financeira, liberação de preços e salários, liberalização do regime de investimento estrangeiro, privatizações de serviços públicos e empresas estatais e desregulamentação do mercado de trabalho. A pesquisa revelou que, para os autores que publicaram em Economia e Sociedade, estas reformas correspondem à atualização do modelo econômico brasileiro às contingências do tipo histórico de capitalismo que emerge no sistema econômico mundial ao final dos anos 80, resultado da crise que se instaura nos países industrializados centrais, a partir da segunda metade dos anos 70. Por consequência, para essa explicação não faz sentido pensar em um "neoliberalismo brasileiro" nos anos 90, como algo específico diante de outros países latino-americanos; ao contrário, todas essas experiências compartilham uma dimensão de capitalismo periférico, e, como tal, se sujeitam a um ordenamento que vem do centro do sistema capitalista. Esse resultado apareceu na taxonomia dos 65 artigos selecionados nesse periódico segundo quatro critérios de classificação (ênfase, espaço-tempo, natureza das fontes e proposito). As explicações analisadas na revista Dados revelaram não haver uma, mas pelo menos três explicações majoritárias e três subsidiarias. As explicações mais frequentes são a sociológica (que busca as causas das reformas na sociedade brasileira), a explicação institucionalista (que procura na crônica política as causas das reformas) e a explicação pragmática (que postula a inexorabilidade das reformas neoliberais). As explicações menos frequentes são a explicação histórica, a elitista e a explicação internacional. Esse quadro explicativo surgiu da análise em profundidade da tese dos 38 artigos selecionados na revista. As críticas que fizemos a essas explicações se amparam na superioridade heurística da explicação de classe: essa crítica demonstrou os gargalos da problemática do subdesenvolvimento, e apontou alguns obstáculos na compreensão da implantação das reformas neoliberais a partir da ideia de não problema / Abstract: The thesis makes a survey of explanations about the implementation of neoliberal reforms in Brazil during the 1990's in articles published in two journals: Dados and Economia e Sociedade. Were selected to the research 103 articles published in the two serials between 1990 and 2006 who dealt with at least one of the following subjects: trade liberalization, financial liberalization, freeing prices and wages, liberalization of foreign investment scheme, privatization of public services and State-owned enterprises and deregulation of the labor market. The survey revealed that, for the authors who published in Economia e Sociedade, these reforms represent the Brazilian economic model update to contingencies of historical type of capitalism that emerges in the world economic system at the end of the eight's, a result of crisis that establishes in the industrialized countries, since the second half of the seventy's. Consequently, for that explanation doesn't make sense to think of a "Brazilian neoliberalism" in the nineties, as something specific on other Latin American countries; on the contrary, all these experiences share a dimension of peripheral capitalism, and, as such, are subject to an adjustment that comes from the center of the capitalist system. This result appeared in taxonomy of 65 articles in four classification criteria (emphasis, space time, nature of the sources and purpose). The explanations analyzed in the journal Dados revealed that there was not one, but at least three main explanations and three subsidiaries. The most frequent are the sociological explanations (which seeks the causes of reforms in Brazilian society), the institutionalist explanation (which looks at the causes of the reforms policy Chronicle) and the pragmatic explanation (which posits the inexorability of neoliberal reforms). The explanations less frequent are the historical explanation, the elitist and the international explanation. This explanatory framework emerged from the in-depth analysis of the thesis of 38 selected articles in the magazine. The criticisms we have made to these explanations are supported in class explanation heuristics superiority: this critique makes clear the restrictions about the problem of underdevelopment, and pointed out some obstacles in understanding the implementation of neoliberal reforms from the idea of no problem / Mestrado / Ciencia Politica / Mestre em Ciência Política

Toma-se o período desde o final dos anos 1980 até os dias atuais, quando se inicia uma intensa difusão da variável informacional no território brasileiro associada à alocação de um espesso sistema técnico funcional a sua circulação. No período adensa-se ainda uma efervescência na produção cultural recifense, em especial aquela mais ligada à música. Aborda-se a topologia-tipologia das cenas musicais recifenses, fecunda empiria para a problematização em torno das espessuras comunicacionais nos lugares, bem como se analisa o circuito sonoro contemporâneo. Busca-se aclarar quais são as conexões entre os circuitos informacionais descendentes, fundamentados em lógicas e normas estranhas aos lugares, e circuitos informacionais ascendentes, fundamentados na organização própria dos lugares. Estariam nas cenas musicais, movimentadas por interesses comuns, possíveis agentes de um projeto urbano que se sobreponha à desigualdade socioterritorial característica de nossas cidades? Propõe-se a noção de errância sonora, cara à análise das manifestações musicais no cotidiano dos lugares. Trata-se de um estudo com o intuito de compreender as condições geográficas da cidade de Recife, uma busca por alternativas para adensar a circulação de informações ascendentes no território / Abstract: Intends to contribute to the understanding of territorial dynamics in the current metropolis through a study of the fixed and flows moved to the production and dissemination of music in the city of Recife-PE. It¿s our interest the period from the late 1980s to the present day, when starting an intense dissemination of informational variable in Brazilian territory associated with the allocation of a thick technical system functional for your movement. In the period still thickens an effervescence in Recife cultural production, particularly that related more to the music. Is studied the topology-typology of musical scenes in Recife, empirical fruitful for questioning around the communicational thicknesses in places, as well as analyzes the contemporary sound circuit. Seeks to clarify what are the connections between the descendants informational circuits, based on logics and norms unrelated to places, and rising informational circuits, based on the organization itself places. Would be in musical scenes dynamized by common interests, potential agents of an urban project that overlaps the socioterritorial inequality characteristic of our cities? Proposes the notion of wandering sound, operational to the analysis of musical expressions in everyday places. It is a study in order to understand the geographical conditions of the city of Recife, a search for alternatives to increase the movement of upward informations in the territory / Doutorado / Análise Ambiental e Dinâmica Territorial / Doutor em Ciências

New research has shed light on the origin of the Danish glass beads dating to the BronzeAge and the increase in long-distance exchange during this period. This has provided newknowledge about glass beads during the Bronze Age, which unlocked the question of whatit looks like in the rest of Scandinavia. To get a broader perspective I have chosen to studythe first evidence of early craft sites where glass beads were made in Scandinavia. Then acomparison is made between the Bronze and Iron Ages from a broader perspective, whichincludes both the use of glass beads and the glass productions sites. I have therefore chosento study glass beads from a long-term perspective, from the introduction of the first glassbeads in Scandinavia during the Early Bronze Age until the Vendel period when the firstglass beads were manufactured in Scandinavia. By studying glass beads from a long-termperspective, we can learn more about the significance of glass beads in society.
