This process allows the diffusion of the urban centers by the territory and its organization in urban networks that articulate and form the various existing centralities. Before that, this work has as an objective to understand the socio-spatial dynamic of Itapuranga by means of the relationships and interactions established between the municipality and the other centers of the urban network, boosted by the process of territorial modernization. For this, the methodological procedures of research were based on biographic review, data collection in public and private institutions, application of fieldwork, questionnaires and interviews. The present work revealed that the socio-spatial dynamic of a municipality forms by means of the relationships from this center with the others municipalities of the urban network, creating a structure and spatial organization capable of meeting the yearnings of the social relations of production. / Por meio das transformações desencadeadas pelo processo de modernização, os territórios se tornam integrados e fluídos, dando origem a atual dinâmica socioespacial. Esse processo permite a difusão dos centros urbanos pelo território e sua organização em redes urbanas, que se articulam e formam as várias centralidades existentes. Diante disso, este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender a dinâmica socioespacial de Itapuranga por meio dos relacionamentos e interações estabelecidos entre o município e os demais centros da rede urbana, dinamizados pelo processo de modernização territorial. Para isso, os procedimentos metodológicos da pesquisa foram baseados em revisão bibliográfica, levantamento de dados em instituições públicas e privadas, aplicação de trabalho de campo, questionários e entrevistas. O presente trabalho revelou que a dinâmica socioespacial de um município forma-se por meio dos relacionamentos desse centro com os demais municípios da rede urbana, criando uma estrutura e organização espacial capaz de atender aos anseios das relações sociais de produção.

The survey and interpretation of economic data showed that the cities have different rates of economic development and many of them lack of urban infrastructure. In other words, while some cities have economic sectors highly diversified and representative, others, in contrast, require greater economic dynamism. To come to these results, the methodology used was based on bibliographical/theoretical studies about the concept of region, network, urbanization of society, regional urban planning and urban landscape. Regarding the collection of data about the object of this study, information from IBGE, Ipardes, municipal departments, commercial and industrial associations were used. Aside from that, the interviews consisted of a last, but not least, methodology, performed with some municipal departments linked to Planning, Trade and Industry, to the sector Public Works and Services, the coordinators of Municipal Master Plans, as well as representative of the regional political entity, the Association of Municipalities of West Paraná (Amop). In general, the cities make use of various funding sources of municipal, state and federal areas, but the lack of regional planning and urban infrastructure also appear as obstacles to further development / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a urbanização dos municípios da região Lindeira ao Lago de Itaipu, localizada no Oeste do Estado do Paraná, por meio de suas dinâmicas socioespaciais, estabelecidas a partir da construção da Hidrelétrica da Itaipu. O levantamento e interpretação dos dados econômicos demonstrou que os municípios apresentam diferentes ritmos de desenvolvimento econômico e muitos deles carecem de infraestrutura urbana. Em outras palavras, ao passo que alguns municípios apresentam setores econômicos altamente diversificados e representativos, outros, em contraposição, carecem de maior dinamismo econômico. Para chegar a tais resultados, a metodologia empregada pautou-se no estudo bibliográfico/teórico sobre o conceito de região, de rede, urbanização da sociedade, planejamento urbano regional e paisagem urbana. A respeito do levantamento de dados sobre o objeto deste estudo, recorreu-se a informações do IBGE, Ipardes, secretarias municipais, associações comerciais e industriais. Afora isso, a aplicação de entrevistas consistiu em uma última, mas não menos importante, metodologia, realizada com algumas secretarias municipais ligadas ao Planejamento, Indústria e Comércio, ao setor de Obras e Serviços Públicos, aos coordenadores de Planos Diretores Municipais, bem como ao representante da entidade política regional, a Associação dos Municípios do Oeste do Paraná (AMOP). De modo geral, os municípios fazem uso de várias fontes de recurso das esferas municipais, estaduais e federais, mas a falta de planejamento regional e infraestrutura urbana, ainda, configuram-se como entrave para um maior desenvolvimento

Curating Resistances focuses upon the socially interventionist and activist agendas of two contemporary art biennials in Europe during and in response to the current economic crisis. This thesis seeks to untangle their tensions, conflicts and intimate socialities as they evolve against the backdrop of neoliberalism, austerity, crisis and the rise of Occupy cultures. Drawing upon primary ethnographic research on the 3rd Athens Biennale (2011) and the 7th Berlin Biennale (2012), as well as on the examination of curatorial, journalistic and archival documents, I argue for an approach that takes into consideration the threefold nature of these sites, as institutions, organizations and events. A central area of investigation is the post-1990s curatorial idea of strategically occupying the institution from within and mobilising it as a space of radical knowledge production. This idea gave rise to a model of exhibition-making, that I call the ‘discursive exhibition’, which shapes the vocabulary and forms of curating cultures at least since documenta X (1997). I argue that this model was challenged during the European crisis through the post-2010 art activism that brought ideas related to class, labour and the commons to the centre of debates on art and politics. Through their attempts to radicalise in response to such challenges, I argue that the two biennials I examine expose the limits of biennials as sites of activism and political resistance. In employing the research perspectives of place and translocality, terms borrowed from cultural geography, I argue that rather than imposing a global art language, biennials unfold through complex socio-spatial dynamics, manifesting a remarkable capacity to absorb, remediate and repurpose their surrounding environments. By discussing how a series of failed statements, border-crossings, internal conflicts, withdrawals, police interventions and press spectacles interconnect with the biennial’s organizational and institutional dynamics, this thesis navigates through the translocal tensions played upon the materiality, infrastructures and economies of curating resistances.

In the construction of the dissertation, he tried to structure the same, taking into account the theoretical study of the categories territory and territoriality on the perspective of Economic Geography, from there we tried to understand the process of formation of the space of the city of Açailândia, then leaving for an analysis of the economic dynamics of the city, from the 1990s, when large enterprises were already actively working. Wanted also observe and analyze the impact of steel enterprises in the economic of the municipality and at the last moment to turn the attention to the study and analysis of the recent socio-spatial dynamics Açailândia. / O presente trabalho dissertativo tem por objetivo analisar a Dinâmica Socioespacial recente do município de Açailândia (MA), que foi desmembrado da cidade de Imperatriz no ano de 1981, e que em pouco tempo de emancipação politica, tornou-se um dos maiores polos econômicos do Estado do Maranhão, destacando-se principalmente no setor siderúrgico e na agropecuária, tendo como ênfase a bovinocultura. Na construção da dissertação, procurou-se estruturar a mesma, levando em consideração o estudo teórico das categorias território e territorialidade sobre a perspectiva da Geografia Econômica, onde se buscou entender o processo de formação do espaço geográfico do município de Açailândia, partindo então para uma análise da dinâmica socioeconômica do município, a partir da década de 1990, quando os empreendimentos siderúrgicos já estavam funcionando ativamente, e a agropecuária estava em evidencia nessa porção territorial do oeste maranhense. Procura-se ainda nesta pesquisa observar e analisar os impactos dos empreendimentos siderúrgicos na econômica do município, e no último momento a atenção volta-se para o estudo e análises da recente dinâmica socioespacial de Açailândia.

Since the 1980s, after an agreement with the federal government, the Federal University of Goiás expands its campus to the city of Jataí. With advances in the policy of expansion of higher education and technical in the year 2009, Jataí is benefited by the federal educational expansion, mainly in the area of ​​higher education. Federal REUNI and PRONATEC programs that aim to expand and internalize technical and higher education, transform the urban space of the city, with the arrival of teachers, technicians and students. Discussing the reconfiguration of the urban space of Jataí-GO that is happening in the sectors of economy, real estate dynamics and urban spatial production in the city, becomes important for future projections in government actions as the bias of urban planning. We will show with quantitative data the importance of governmental actions, after a great public policy of expansion and internalization of technical and higher education. These sets of modifications are directly impacting spatial dynamics. / A cidade de Jataí, localizada na microrregião do Sudoeste de Goiás, criada a partir do ano de 1885, sempre foi uma cidade economicamente ativa no setor da agricultura, principalmente a produção de grãos. A partir da década de 1980, após um acordo com o governo federal, a Universidade Federal de Goiás expande seu campus para a cidade de Jataí. Com avanços na política de expansão do ensino superior e técnico no ano de 2009, Jataí é beneficiada com a expansão educacional federal, principalmente na área de ensino superior. Programas federal REUNI e PRONATEC que visam expansão e a interiorização do ensino técnico e superior, passam a transformar o espaço urbano da cidade, com a chegada de professores, técnicos e alunos. Discutir a reconfiguração do espaço urbano de Jataí-GO que está acontecendo nos setores da economia, dinâmica imobiliária e na produção espacial do urbano na cidade, passa a ser importante para futuras projeções nas ações governamentais como o viés do planejamento urbano. Mostraremos com dados quantitativos a importância de ações governamentais, após uma grande política pública de expansão e interiorização do ensino técnico e superior. Esses conjuntos de modificações estão impactando diretamente na dinâmica espacial.

The "New Middle Class" is a new therm. According to the studies, with the increase of income of the Brazilian families, many of them got into the middle class, in a range between R$ 291,00 and R$ 1054,00 per capita. Other studies realize that, far beyond the income, the connexion of other factors need to be considered , such as work and education, for example, and so it appears more appropriate to give to the group the name of the "New Working Class". In this sense, this dissertation aimed to understand the socio-spatial dynamics of Goiania's Northwest Region in 2010, to identify whether the defining elements of the "New Middle Class" and the "New Working Class" could be applied to the delimited area. We adopted the methodology bibliographical and statistical on the NorthWest Region and the guiding themes of work, followed by the preparation of charts, tables and maps that supported our considerations and discussions. In this study, we showed that the Northwest Region of Goiânia has, in 2010, a dynamic quite different from its genesis occurred in 1979 with the collective struggle for urban land. To understand this process, we developed a timeline and each step was assigned the name of a neighborhood in the region namely: Esperança (1979-1981), Finsocial (1982-1987), Vitória (1988-2001) and Triunfo ( 2002-2010), besides of the intermediate phase, which we call Tremendão (1979-2010). Based on the analysis, we found that the population of the Northwest Region is a representation of the "New Working Class", justified by the low education, long work hours, although with enormous changes in income and consumption pattern. / As mudanças socioeconômicas observadas no país nas últimas década vêm sendo tema de estudos e pesquisas nos últimos anos e fizeram surgir diferentes nomenclaturas. A nova classe média é uma delas. De acordo com os estudos, com o aumento da renda das famílias brasileiras, muitas delas se ingressaram na classe média, em uma faixa entre R$ 291 e R$ 1.054 per capita. Outros estudos dão conta de que, muito além da renda, a relação de outros fatores necessita ser levada em consideração, como o trabalho e a escolaridade, por exemplo, e assim se mostra mais adequado atribuir ao grupo o nome de nova classe trabalhadora. Nesse sentido, a presente dissertação teve por objetivo entender a dinâmica socioespacial da Região Noroeste de Goiânia no ano de 2010, para identificar se os elementos definidores da nova classe média e da nova classe trabalhadora se aplicavam ao recorte espacial. Adotamos como metodologia o levantamento bibliográfico e estatístico acerca da Região Noroeste e das temáticas norteadoras do trabalho, seguimos com a elaboração de gráficos, tabelas e mapas que subsidiaram nossas considerações e discussões. Nesta pesquisa, evidenciamos que a Região Noroeste de Goiânia apresenta, em 2010, uma dinâmica bastante diferente de sua gênese ocorrida em 1979, com a luta coletiva pelo solo urbano. Para compreender esse processo, elaboramos uma cronologia e a cada etapa foi atribuído o nome de um bairro da região a saber: Esperança (de 1979 a 1981), Finsocial (de 1982 a 1987), Vitória (de 1988 a 2001) e Triunfo (de 2002 a 2010), além da fase intermediária, que chamamos de Tremendão (de 1979 a 2010). Com base nas análises, constatamos que a população da Região Noroeste é uma representação da nova classe trabalhadora, justificada pela baixa escolaridade, as longas jornadas de trabalho, embora com intensas modificações na renda e no padrão de consumo.

Inscrite dans le courant de recherches actuelles portant sur les déterminants des comportements en lien avec la santé, cette thèse a pour objectif de contribuer, au travers du développement d'un modèle à base d'agents, à une meilleure connaissance des relations entre le cadre de vie d'adolescents et leurs pratiques d'activité physique. Questionnant les fondements théoriques et empiriques du modèle socio-écologique qui guide la majorité des études actuelles, ce travail a conduit à l'élaboration d'un schéma conceptuel relationnel intégrant les notions de positions et dispositions sociales, ainsi que les liens entre pratiques de mobilité quotidienne et pratiques d'activités situées dans le temps et l'espace géographique. L'implémentation de ce schéma conceptuel a abouti à la réalisation de trois modèles à base d'agents de complexité croissante, dont l'originalité réside dans la non-inclusion explicite d'interactions. Ce travail, bien qu'inachevé en ce quiconcerne l'exploration des propriétés des modèles, a permis de souligner l'intérêt heuristique de la modélisation, permettant d'un côté d'ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives d'analyses, et d'un autre côté, d'offrir un retour sur les données utilisées. / Embedded in current research on determinants of health-related behaviours, this thesis develops an agentbased model to further explore and explain the links between living environment and physical activity in adolescents. Challenging the theoretical and empirical basis of the socio-ecological model that underpins most of current studies, this work leads to a relational conceptual framework that integrates social positions and dispositions with daily mobility and physical activity in both a spatial and temporal perspective. Three increasingly complex agent-based models are developped on this unusual framework that does not explicitly include interactions. Although further investigation is required to fully understand the properties of the models, the study highlights the benefits of this modelling approach that identifies new ways of thinking andanalytical opportunities and gives feedback on the data used.

La répartition spatiale des fonctions et des populations urbaines n’est pas due au hasard, elle peutmettre en évidence des inégalités qui interrogent nos sociétés démocratiques fondées avant tout sur leprincipe d’égalité. Celui-ci s’appuie sur les relations entre le « social » et le « spatial » qui consistentprincipalement à explorer les inégalités sociales dans les espaces urbains et ce qui est ressenti commeune injustice par les individus. Pour saisir ces dynamiques socio-spatiales, nous focalisons notrerecherche sur l’histoire urbaine de Besançon, Mulhouse et Strasbourg ainsi que sur les rapports entreles habitants et leur environnement résidentiel. À l’aide des grandes bases de données géo-localiséesde l’INSEE, nous étudions la distribution spatiale des ménages ainsi que son évolution sur une périodede près de vingt années (de 1990 à 2007). Par ailleurs, nous cherchons à observer les différents modesd’habiter des Bisontins, c’est-à-dire leurs stratégies résidentielles ainsi que leurs pratiques etreprésentations spatiales à l’aide d’enquêtes de terrain. Cette thèse s’appuie donc sur une doubleapproche : l’une macroscopique, historique et quantitative et l’autre microscopique et qualitative. Elleprésente finalement les structures socio-spatiales des zones d’étude et les trajectoires des quartiers(plus précisément des IRIS) afin de montrer les diverses tendances d’évolution (gentrification,paupérisation…) dans une optique comparative. Des facteurs d’évolution spécifiques apparaissentégalement en lien avec la localisation des villes d’étude ainsi qu’avec leurs fonctions urbaines etsociales, leur organisation interne et leur taille. Les enquêtes révèlent, pour leur part, plusieurs règlescomportementales qu’il s’agit de comparer compte tenu de la diversité sociale des quartiers. Cesinformations collectées à partir d’enquêtes sont plus subjectives, mais elles complètent les données desrecensements et leur donnent du sens. Au final, elles montrent que l’appartenance à un groupe sociospatialene détermine pas systématiquement les comportements résidentiels. / The spatial distribution of urban functions and populations is not random, this distribution canhighlight inequalities which call into question our democratic societies based on the principle ofequality. This principle is based on the relationship between the “social” and the “spatial” whichmainly consist in investigating social disparities in urban areas and what is perceived as an injustice byindividuals. To understand these socio-spatial dynamics, we focus our research on the urban history ofBesançon, Mulhouse and Strasbourg as well as the relations between the inhabitants and theirresidential environment. Using large geo-localized databases from INSEE, we study the spatialdistribution of households and its evolution over a period of nearly twenty years (1990-2007). Inaddition, we seek to observe the various ways of living of the residents of Besançon, that is to say theirresidential logics and their spatial practices and representations via field surveys. Thus, this thesis isbased on a double approach: the first one is macroscopic, historic and quantitative and the second oneis microscopic and qualitative. The study presents the socio-spatial structures of the studied cities andthe trajectories of districts (more exactly the IRIS: the smaller census area) in order to show thedifferent trends of evolution (gentrification, pauperisation...) in a comparative perspective. Specificfactors of evolution are also linked to the location of the studied cities as well as to their urban andsocial functions, their internal organisation and their size. The field surveys, for their part, revealseveral behavioural rules that we compare considering the social diversity of districts. Thisinformation collected from surveys is more subjective, but it completes the census data and gives themmeaning. Finally, we show that the membership of a socio-spatial group does not determinesystematically residential behaviours.

Research was carried out on the prior period, from 1799 when two Allotments were granted at the confluence of the Jaguari and Atibaia Rivers, the source of the Piracicaba River, and which would become, along with other land allotments, the municipal boundaries up until the final decade of that century. The study is thus based on the apprehension of the process of material evolution that marked the developing urbanization, perceived by the rediscovery of four variable factors which attended the establishment and development of the city: the formation and evolution of the transportation system, the installation and occupation of the urban street network, the location dimension of administrative edifications and the dynamic of urban equipment, both public and private. Research was made to identify how Limeira related to the national, state and regional contexts of that period, to describe the process of establishing towns near the geographical feature known as Morro Azul , or Blue Hill (where the present-day towns of Rio Claro, Araras and Piracicaba are also located), and, lastly, to understand significant social and historical facts related to physical expansion and to economic factors. The occupation of the land before the urban settlement was also dealt with, giving special attention in this process to the socio-spatial issues linked both to Allotments granted in the region and to the farms that were born out of those properties. Besides looking into pertinent scientific and technical literature available, direct documental sources were researched, found in collections of church documents in parishes and diocesan offices, in collections of public documents, in museums and libraries both public and private along with consultation and interpretation of historiographic bibliographies, as well as articles and laws, among others. The analyses which were elaborated show the materiality of space both as a result and as a basis for the evolution of social relationships and for the dominant class to stay in control, evidenced by forms of land appropriation and by the presence of a basis for the socio-spatial segregation found in the city in the next century, even though new configurations for the latter were adopted. / Este estudo aborda a dinâmica socioespacial da cidade de Limeira, sede de município situado na área leste do Estado de São Paulo, vista prioritariamente por meio da reconstrução da história material que gravou este núcleo urbano no século XIX. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida sobre o período anterior compreendido entre o ano de 1799 - data da concessão de duas Sesmarias na confluência dos rios Jaguarí e Atibaia, nascente do rio Piracicaba, e que viriam a compor em conjunto com outras datas de terras, os limites municipais - e o decênio final daquele século. O trabalho se pauta, deste modo, na apreensão do processo de evolução material, percebido por meio do resgate de quatro variáveis que assinalaram a implantação e o desenvolvimento da cidade: a formação e evolução do sistema viário, a instalação e ocupação da malha urbana, a dimensão locacional das edificações do poder administrativo e a dinâmica dos equipamentos urbanos, tanto comunitários quanto privados. Buscou-se ainda identificar a situação de Limeira nos contextos nacional, estadual e regional da época; os processos de instalação das urbes próximas à formação geográfica conhecida como Morro Azul (onde nos dias de hoje encontram-se também as cidades de Rio Claro, Araras e Piracicaba) e, por fim, os fatos históricos e sociais significativos relacionados à expansão física e aos fatores econômicos. Tratou-se também, da ocupação do território anterior à formação urbana, destacando-se neste processo as questões socioespaciais atreladas tanto às concessões de Sesmarias na região, quanto das fazendas oriundas daquelas possessões. Além da literatura técnico-científica pertinente, foram pesquisadas fontes documentais diretas, encontradas nos acervos paroquiais e diocesanos, arquivos públicos, museus, bibliotecas - tanto públicas quanto particulares - acrescidas da consulta e interpretação da bibliografia historiográfica, bem como de artigos, legislação, dentre outras. As análises elaboradas mostram a materialidade do espaço, ao mesmo tempo, como resultado e como base para a evolução das relações sociais e para a manutenção do poder da classe dominante, evidenciado nas formas de apropriação da terra e na presença, apesar da adoção de novas configurações, da base para a segregação socioespacial encontrada na cidade no século seguinte.
