This thesis establishes the concept of affective form as a means of examining urban design – being the intersection of architecture, planning and landscape – in relation to techniques of governance. Affective form broadly describes a built environment where people are encouraged to amend, or govern, their actions according to particular socio–political ideas. Exploration of the concept’s application as a theoretical tool is undertaken here in order to generate a means of discussing the ethical function of urban design. The emergence of notions of affective form will be located in the eighteenth century, alongside the growing confidence in the ability for humankind to effect social and cultural progress. In a series of examples, stretching throughout the twentieth century, the implicit relation of planning, architectural and landscape form to social effect is discussed. The language, and design models, used to delineate affective form are described, alongside discussion of the level of intentionality apparent in the conceptions of urban form’s social effect. Critique through affective form allows an analysis that brings together the underlying utopian elements of projects – the traces of ideology and sociological theories – with an evaluation of the formal concepts projected. As the second area of investigation, the city of Perth in Western Australia provides a contextual focus for the examination of concepts of affective form. Through a series of appropriations of urban design models a suburban archetype emerged in Perth of a planned, homogenous field of low–rise, single–family, detached dwellings within a gardenesque landscape. The process of appropriation is described as a continuing negotiation between local expectations and the implicit conceptions of affective form within the imported models. Connecting the two primary concerns of the thesis, the ability of form to influence social change and the evolution of Perth’s garden suburb ideal, is the association of that developing garden suburb model with notions of affective form. The associations are outlined through three case studies. The first is an account of the planning of the City of Perth Endowment Lands Project during the 1920s. The second describes the planning and architecture of the athlete’s village built for the VIIIth British Empire and Commonwealth Games held in Perth in 1962. The third study details the development in the 1990s of Joondalup, a satellite city in the Perth metropolitan region. The account of Perth’s garden suburb ideal is intertwined with the consideration of the varying ways in which the conceptualization of affective form has been expressed. Each case study is contextualized by a preceding chapter that discusses the particular conceptions of affective form used in its examination. Thus the main body of the thesis comprises three parts – each associated with a case study, each containing two linked chapters

Characteristics such as the profile, themes and principal activities, how the organizations fit into the public sector and their participation in social networks are observed. Thus common differences and similarities which serve as a means of indentification, take as reference the symbolic cartography of Boaventura of Sousa Santos. Since there are relatively few studies relating to civil society of Rio Grande do Norte and in particular, Natal, the starting point was the setting up of a database allowing for a general overview. Hence a panorama of the organizations could be observed: where they are located, when they were formed how they operate and their relationships with other sectors (the state, the market and civil society) in addition to basic facts and location. The principal lines of enquiry were a) the OSC which operate with the public comprising adolescents and young people and b) the OSC operating or having branches in four suburbs on the periphery of the western administrative region of the city (Felipe Camar?o, Bom Pastor, Cidade Nova and Guararapes).The present report has identified the impacts of ongoing social transformation caused by the process of globalization ,by the various currently contested political projects which are as follows: the project of neoliberal globalized capitalism(hegemonic)and the project of social emancipation (contra-hegemonic),how these are seen from the local viewpoint and how they influence the profiles and operation of the cartographic organizations. The area of the OSC is a heterogenous one with political, cultural and ideological strains, characterized by its infiltration, its local/global and multicultural dimensions. As civil organizations are fundamental in the processes of transformation within society, and following the idea of social emancipation referred to by Boaventura Santos, the enquiry classified the organizations according to the afore-mentioned characteristics, establishing eight types of associations. These different types and their respective characteristics were analysed from a related perspective using the mechanisms of symbolic cartography: scale, projection and symbolisation. The theoretical references underpinning this research arise from the debate on civil society which becomes redefined as a result of the dispute involving the two afore-mentioned political projects. These demand the theoretical application of the comprehension of heterogeneity in its diversity and complexity together with the idea of social emancipation.The main authors consulted were Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Antonio Gramsci, through the texts translated by Marco Aurelio Nogueira; Carlos Nelson Coutinho and Alberto Rivera ,who supported the construction of the types of associations identified by the local reality.Finally this research enabled an understanding of the current form of social action happening in the Space of the Four Neighbourhoods (Espa?o dos 4 Bairros) and how the distinct profiles analysed together with the ares of operation of the organizations define their emancipatory potencials within the following two poles: regulation/adaptation and emancipation/transformation / Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo realizar uma cartografia social com vistas a mapear e caracterizar as organiza??es da sociedade civil (OSC) que atuam com adolescentes e jovens da Regi?o Oeste da cidade de Natal, observando-se suas caracter?sticas quanto: ao perfil, temas, atividades principais, formas de inser??o no espa?o p?blico e participa??o em redes sociais, buscando identificar as diferen?as e semelhan?as que as singularizam e identificam. Uma vez que existem poucos estudos sobre o universo da sociedade civil do Rio Grande do Norte e de Natal, o ponto de partida foi a constru??o de um banco de dados objetivando construir uma vis?o geral, panor?mica dessas organiza??es - onde est?o, quando foram criadas, o que fazem, como se relacionam com os demais segmentos (Estado, Mercado, Sociedade Civil) - al?m de dados b?sicos formais e de localiza??o. Os principais recortes adotados foram: a) as OSC que atuam com o p?blico adolescente e jovem; e b) as OSC que atuam ou t?m sede em quatro bairros perif?ricos da Regi?o Administrativa Oeste da cidade (Felipe Camar?o, Bom Pastor, Cidade Nova e Guarapes). O presente estudo identificou como os impactos das transforma??es sociais em curso, motivadas pelos processos da globaliza??o, se manifestam no espa?o local e influenciam nos perfis e atua??o das organiza??es cartografadas. O campo das OSC ? um campo heterog?neo, com marcas pol?ticas, culturais e ideol?gicas, caracterizado pela sua capilaridade, sua dimens?o local/global e multicultural. Sendo as OSC um sujeito social de import?ncia fundamental nos processos de transforma??o, e tendo a id?ia de Emancipa??o Social em Boaventura de Sousa Santos, como refer?ncia, a pesquisa realizou uma classifica??o das organiza??es conforme o conjunto de caracter?sticas, j? mencionadas, estabelecendo oito tipos de associativismo. Esses tipos, e suas respectivas caracter?sticas foram analisadas numa perspectiva relacional, a partir dos mecanismos da Cartografia Simb?lica: a escala, a proje??o e a simboliza??o. Os referenciais te?ricos, que deram luz a presente pesquisa, foram: o debate sobre Sociedade Civil e a id?ia de Emancipa??o Social que se redefinem em meio ? disputa entre dois projetos pol?ticos - o projeto do capitalismo neoliberal globalizado (hegem?nico) e o projeto da emancipa??o social (contra-hegem?nico) - e exigem um esfor?o te?rico de compreens?o de sua heterogeneidade, diversidade e complexidade. Os autores centrais foram Boaventura de Sousa Santos, Antonio Gramsci, atrav?s das leituras trazidas por Marco Aur?lio Nogueira, Carlos Nelson Coutinho, al?m de Alberto Rivera que ap?ia a constru??o dos tipos de associativismo identificados na realidade local. Finalmente, a pesquisa permitiu conhecer como se configura, no presente momento, o campo social da sociedade civil que atua no Espa?o dos 4 Bairros e como os distintos perfis analisados e as ?reas de atua??o das organiza??es definem os potenciais emancipat?rios das mesmas, fazendo com que estas se movimentem ou se situem entre dois p?los: o p?lo da regula??o/adapta??o e o p?lo da emancipa??o/transforma??o

Territoire d’industrie et d’immigration, Saint-Denis est un des hauts-lieux de la "banlieue rouge" de Paris. Après 1945, la pénurie de logements que connaît la France y est aggravée par la médiocrité du parc immobilier ancien et par une croissance démographique, qui se traduit par le développement de bidonvilles d’immigrants. La municipalité communiste fait de la construction de logements un axe central de sa politique sociale, constituant ainsi l’un des plus importants offices d’habitation à loyer modéré (HLM) de banlieue parisienne, gestionnaire d’environ 9 000 logements à la fin des années 1970. Les enjeux posés par la gestion d’un tel organisme et les mutations sociales induites s’observent dans les archives locales. Parmi ces questions, celle du logement des immigrants étrangers ou (post)coloniaux prend une importance croissante à partir des années 1960. Encore inférieure à 10 % en 1965, la proportion des ménages d’immigrants logés par l’office municipal s’élève à au moins un quart des locataires dans les années 1980. La reconnaissance de leur appartenance locale, si ce n’est d’une citoyenneté urbaine, est en jeu et paraît fortement dépendante des contraintes économiques, sociales et institutionnelles pesant sur la gestion d’un office HLM en banlieue ouvrière. La logique d’une hospitalité municipale graduelle et conditionnée est d’abord mise en difficulté par la dissymétrie entre offre et demande de logements sociaux. À partir de la fin des années 1960, lors d’importantes opérations d’aménagement urbain, la question est vue sous l’angle du peuplement immigré et de sa répartition dans l’agglomération. Une logique de « seuil de tolérance » aux immigrants à la source de discriminations prend alors forme. Elle est relative dans la mesure où la part des immigrants logés continue de progresser. Néanmoins, l’importante crise budgétaire qui touche l’office HLM de Saint-Denis à partir 1974, combinée à une désindustrialisation avancée, contribue à une crispation durable sur la question ethno-raciale. / Territory of industry and immigration, Saint-Denis is one of the symbolic places of the "banlieue rouge" (red suburbs) of Paris. After 1945, the housing shortage happening in France is worsened in Saint-Denis by the mediocrity of the old housing stock and by a population growth which leads to the spreading of immigrants slums. The communist municipality makes housing construction a central axis of its social policy, therefore becoming one of the greatest HLM (social housing) municipal agencies of the parisian suburbs, managing about 9 000 apartments at the end of the 1970s. Managing such an agency and the induced social mutations pose challenges that can be observed in the local archives. Among those, the question of the housing of foreign or (post)colonial immigrants is taking on increasing importance from the 1960s. Still below 10 % in 1965, the proportion of foreign households housed by the municipal agency amounts to at least a quarter of the tenants in the 1980s. The acknowledgment of their local membership, if not even of their urban citizenship, is at stake and appears to be highly dependant on economic, social and institutionnal constraints which weigh on the managment of a HLM agency in a working class suburb. The logic of a gradual and conditionned municipal hospitality is first of all put in a difficult position by the dissymmetry between supply and demand on social housing. From the end of the 1960s, during significant urban planning operations, the question is seen from the perspective of the immigrant settlement and its repartition in the agglomeration. A logic of "tolerance threshold" to the immigrants which is the origin of discriminations then begins to take place. It is relative since the share of housed immigrants is still progressing. Nevertheless, the important budget crisis which is striking the HLM municipal agency of Saint-Denis from 1974, combined with an advanced desindustrialisation, contributes to a sustaining contortion on the ethno-racial question.

Para tal, investiga o impacto delas na vida dos trabalhadores que moravam em Inhaúma, um distrito suburbano carioca. A partir da análise de diversos tipos de fontes, identifica como o distrito em questão passou por mudanças significativas nesse período, destacando-se o crescimento predial e demográfico. O estudo apresenta também dados sobre as condições de vida desses trabalhadores, bem como quais problemas enfrentavam, por residirem nessa região da cidade. Além disso, explora as relações estabelecidas entre esses sujeitos históricos e funcionários municipais, com base na leitura de recursos enviados ao Prefeito, devido à aplicação de multas por infração de posturas. Por fim, trata dos conflitos entre os suburbanos e a polícia, através da investigação dos processos criminais por ofensas físicas leves e de contravenção por vadiagem / Abstract: This dissertation has the aim of contributing to the discussion regarding the urban renovations that took place in Rio de Janeiro during the turn of the twentieth century. To this end, it investigates the impact of the renovations on the lives of workers who lived in Inhaúma, a suburban district of Rio de Janeiro. Through the analysis of a variety of sources, it identifies how the aforementioned district underwent major changes during this period, in particular the growth in the number of buildings as well as in population. This study also presents data related to the lives of those workers and the problems they encountered by living in that region. Moreover, it explores the relations that were established between those historical subjects and the civil servants, based on the reading of appeals sent to the mayor contesting fines, which were received for infractions. Finally, this dissertation also deals with the conflicts between the suburbanites and the police, through the investigation of criminal lawsuits for battery and vagrancy / Mestrado / Historia Social do Trabalho / Mestre em História

Denna avhandling är en komparativ undersökning av pågående förändringsprocesser bland kurder i Marseillesregionen i Frankrike och Stockholmsregionen i Sverige. I fokus står skiftet från en endimensionell och offerrelaterad kurdisk diasporisk identitet mot en mer sammansatt och aktiv. Studien går bortom entydiga erfarenheter av smärta, trauma och offerkänsla i syfte att lyfta fram en rad andra diasporiska situationer och företeelser såsom institutionella och transnationella formationer, assabiyya nätverk, ”on air” och ”online” verksamheter, kulturella och litterära aktiviteter osv., som samtliga är centrala element när det gäller att upprätthålla ett gränsöverskridande medborgarskap bland diasporiska kurder i de bägge länderna. Studien vidhåller dessutom att kurder i både Sverige och Frankrike på olika sätt är utsatta för diskriminering och socialt utanförskap. Avhandlingen visar hur kurder i Frankrike och Sverige utvecklar olika diasporiska diskurser och handlingsmönster. Beroende på en relativt likartad social bakgrund och på den exkluderande politiska miljö som finns i Frankrike så upprätthåller kurderna i Marseillesområdet en påtagligt offerrelaterad diasporisk diskurs. Samtidigt är framväxten av ett gränsöverskridande medborgarskap här starkt begränsad. Eftersom kurderna i Sverige är dels jämförelsevis socialt och politiskt diversifierade och dels vistas i en mer gynnsam politisk miljö upprätthåller de inte bara en mer flexibel diasporisk diskurs än kurder i Marseillesområdet. De har också utvecklat ett mer långtgående gränsöverskridande medborgarskap. / This study is a comparative exploration of an ongoing process of change from a mono-dimensional, victim-related Kurdish diasporic identity to a more modulated, dynamic and active form of it among Kurds in the Marseille region in France and the Stockholm region in Sweden. The study goes beyond the experience of pain and trauma and the sense of victimhood in order to depict a multitude of other diasporic situations and trajectories such as institutional and transnational arrangements, assabiyya networks, “on air” and cyberspace “online” involvements, cultural and literary activities, and so forth, which are necessary elements for the development of the practice of transborder citizenship among diasporan Kurds in the two countries. The study argues that the Kurds in France and Sweden have conceived different diasporic discourses and at the same time have chosen different modes of action. Due to their uniform social background and the exclusionary French political environment, the Kurds in the region of Marseille maintain a tangible victim diaspora discourse and limited practice of transborder citizenship. As the Kurds in Sweden are socially and politically diversified, and as they live in the more favorable Swedish political environment, they maintain not only a flexible diaspora discourse but also a more highly developed practice of transborder citizenship than the Kurds in the Marseille region.

Les deux dernières décennies du XIXe siècle amorcent l’essor rapide de la banlieue parisienne et le déploiement de l’Ecole d’Etat. Les lois Paul Bert, Ferry et Goblet fondent l’Ecole républicaine laïque et organisent un enseignement féminin public. Dans le sud-est parisien, urbanisation et scolarisation se développent conjointement. L’étude de l’enseignement féminin, tant à travers ses élèves que ses enseignantes, jusqu’à la mise en place de la mixité à la fin des années 1950, révèle alors l’élaboration des modèles éducatifs et des représentations du genre en banlieue. Elle souligne le rôle de l’Ecole dans la codification du rôle social des femmes et de la place qui leur est attribuée dans l’espace de la cité. Elle offre aussi une grille de lecture renouvelée des rapports entre la capitale et ses banlieues, car la différenciation de ces dernières se fonde sur un territoire ressenti aussi bien que construit et sur un imaginaire de l’espace urbain. A travers les représentations qu’il véhicule, l’enseignement féminin souligne la pluralité sociologique du sud-est parisien et ses mutations sociodémographiques. L’évolution des structures et de l’offre scolaire, les attentes des notables et des familles en font le révélateur des différents pouvoirs et acteurs qui structurent cet espace : initiatives et concurrences locales, divergences entre le local et les logiques d’unification départementale ou nationale. L’Ecole concentre les inégalités qui se développent entre Paris et sa banlieue, entre les banlieues. Cette histoire des femmes, de l’Ecole et des banlieues s’articule autour de trois périodes clefs: le tournant du XXe siècle et la politique de laïcisation, l’Entre-deux-guerres et une concurrence scolaire accrue entre les sexes, entre Paris et ses banlieues, les années 1950 lorsque la politique scolaire s’affirme comme un facteur de hiérarchisation urbaine. Entre pouvoirs et société civile, l’enseignement féminin apparaît comme un vecteur fondamental de l’organisation des banlieues sud-est, et de l’affirmation d’une identité banlieusarde. / In the last two decades of the 19th century came the fast development of Parisian suburbs and the beginnings of the state school system. Laws bearing the names of Paul Bert, Ferry and Goblet were the foundation of a republican, secular educational system, as well as they designed public education for women. In the south-west of Paris, urbanism and education followed a joint development. A study of female education through learners and teachers until the implementation of coeducation in the late 1950s reveals the evolution of educational models and gender representation in suburban areas. It highlights the part played by schools in the systematization of the social role of women and the place attributed to them within the city; it also allows for a better understanding of the relationship between the capital and its suburbs, the latter differentiated in the way they are experienced not less than in the way they are planned and built, as well as through representations of the urban space. With the representations it promotes, female education highlights the social diversity of the Parisian south-west, and its socio-demographical mutations. Through the evolution of school structures and educational offer, expectations from parents and the elite, it becomes an indicator of the powers and agents at play there – local competitions and initiatives, discrepancies between local efforts and regional or national policies. The school system focuses the inequalities between Paris and its suburbs, and from one suburb to another. This history of women, education and suburbs addresses three distinct eras : the turn of the 20th century and the beginnings of the secularization of the school system, the Interwar period and the growing competition between genders and between Paris and its suburbs, and the 1950s, when educational policies openly factors in urban hierarchical organization. Between political powers and civil society, female education appears as an essential vehicle for the organization of the south-east suburbs, and the creation of a suburban identity.
