The city s inhabitant is able to find in the quarter, different ways to know the urban environment as individual. The quarter shows through simple actions the familiar practices of living as collective neighborhood s relationships. However these actions also reveal different perspectives to valorize the places. Considering this presupposition this research explore the quarter, as an important way to understand the relationship between the man and his urban environment. At this sense, the research uses an image s mental analyses of the place. Through its construction is also explore the importance for understand the fundamental elements for evaluative environments. In order to illustrate this propose, the present research brings results based in the Levada´s district, Maceió, Alagoas. This district passed for the last forty years through transformations that caused the decadence of the area. Although the changes, its presents, until today, an active dynamic that emphasizes to neighborhood as the city. At the same way, shows its importance as an empirical study of the space s elements of the relationship between the man and his urban environment. / Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas / Enquanto habitante da cidade, o indivíduo pode encontrar no bairro diversas possibilidades de se relacionar com o meio. Tais possibilidades podem ser percebidas através do simples cotidiano, expresso em práticas familiares que remetem tanto ao espaço individual do morar, quanto ao coletivo das relações de vizinhança. No entanto, estas possibilidades também revelam formas de domínio do ambiente, maneiras pelas quais uma parcela do espaço urbano pode se tornar conhecida e até valorizada em meio a um todo. É partindo deste princípio que este trabalho explora o bairro como uma forma de compreender melhor as relações entre o homem e seu meio citadino. Para tal, recorre-se a uma análise da imagem do lugar, cuja construção é relevante na compreensão de elementos considerados fundamentais, principalmente para processos de revalorização do espaço. Neste sentido, este trabalho contempla o bairro da Levada, em Maceió, Alagoas. Este lugar que durante quarenta anos esteve fortemente associado às principais festividades da cidade, presencia hoje um período de decadência que se caracteriza, sobretudo, pela degradação e desvalorização imobiliária. Entretanto, mesmo com as mudanças, o bairro ainda possui uma dinâmica bastante ativa que o ressalta tanto para seus moradores como para a cidade. Assim, enquanto estudo de caso ele se torna algo de grande valia para a compreensão das inquietações coletivas acerca da imagem do lugar.

En s’inscrivant dans le champ de la sociologie urbaine, ce travail de thèse s’interroge sur les conditions d’émergence du changement social dans l’espace urbain. Comment passe-t-on d’un état sociétal à un autre ? L’espace urbain étant à la fois un cadre matériel et un cadre social en interaction, ce travail tente de montrer que l’action urbaine, en définissant un ensemble de démarches qui exercent un contrôle sur la physionomie des espaces, et en tentant de corriger leurs déséquilibres et leurs dysfonctionnements, est l’instrument de la mise en place d’un nouvel ordre social sur un territoire. En s’appuyant sur l’exemple d’une action urbaine, le renouvellement urbain, ce travail se propose d’en faire une lecture sociologique en observant et en analysant ce qu’il préconise pour changer le cadre spatial pour ensuite rendre compte de ses effets sur la réalité sociale. L’intérêt de la recherche est d’observer un processus, au moment même où il se développe, en mettant en exergue ses conditions d’apparition sur un territoire. La réflexion porte sur la manière dont l’espace conçu et pensé rencontre l’espace vécu et pratiqué. / This thesis, set in the field of urban sociology, explores the conditions favoring a modification of the social order in the urban space. How do new structures impose themselves thus transforming the social reality into a new one ? The urban space having at the same time a material and a social content interacting with each other. This work intends to demonstrate that urban action is an instrument which creates a new social order, because this process implies a control on the aspect of spaces by trying to correct their potential imbalances and defects. Following the example of a urban regeneration, this work sociologically observes and analyses the propositions made to change the urban space and the effects it has on the social reality. The interest of this research is to observe a process at the same time it is being developed. The aim of the study is to show how the space that has been conceived and thought beforehand meets the space where one lives.

The aim of this study is to investigate the relevance of social class in relation to general support for the Labour Party both within a national and localised context, with a specific focus placed upon the area of North-West Cumbria. This is achieved by following the research hypothesis that states that the party since the emergence of New Labour, is with their classless brand, more effective on a political level than their collectivist Old Labour predecessor. Such analysis, using a mixture of primary and secondary methods, is framed within a three-themed research phenomenon. The phenomenon begins via the first theme ‘Class/Identity’ which defined the extensive atomised shift in perceived class categorisation in contemporary Britain. The analysis of the latter then links to the second theme ‘(Labour) Party’ which evaluates such shifts to that of Labour support, ranging from the historic ‘Old’ and ‘New’ eras to the present ‘Post New’ incarnation. This primarily states how the rise of the New Right inspired New Labour to modernise their core political message to accommodate the new atomised class culture, so as to gain broader levels of support. The research phenomenon concludes with the third theme ‘Geography (North-West Cumbria)’ which explores how such class atomisation affected Labour support on a broad locational basis, particularly within North-West Cumbria. The thesis findings generally concur with the research hypothesis since the New Labour brand was somewhat successful in rural areas which hitherto had been deemed unattainable by Old Labour. Such findings, be it nationally and/or locally, are a symptom of contemporary class times where political allegiance has become less ideologically centred, and more brand-orientated and homogeneous. This thesis structure also makes a contribution to qualitative methods research as it provides a template of how such a research hypothesis and phenomenon can be theoretically and practically integrated.

O objetivo do trabalho é entender como a mulher aparece no movimento hip hop da cidade, partindo de um recorte de gênero. Tendo a etnografia como principal método da pesquisa, foi feito uma análise de como as mulheres estão inseridas e como é sua aceitação por parte dos homens do movimento da cidade. A análise cronológica desde o surgimento do hip hop a nível global até sua chegada à cidade de Campina Grande foi de grande relevância para compreender a dinâmica do hip hop e de como a mulher está inserida. Dentro das possibilidades da pesquisa, buscou-se fazer o mapeamento dos lugares que as jovens mulheres do movimento hip hop frequentam, bem como a articulação que elas estabelecem. Por ser um movimento que teve suas origens na rua, não se deve descartar que a rua era e, de certa forma, ainda continua sendo um espaço para o protagonismo masculino. Sendo um movimento constituído por 4 elementos, a mulher aparece em apenas dois desses elementos, o break e o grafite. Essa participação deve ser vista dentro das relações que envolvem outras categorias sociais, tais como classe, raça, grau de escolaridade. Paradoxalmente, não deixa de ser revelador, que um movimento que denuncia e luta contra vários tipos de exclusão social, acaba por produzir, ele mesmo, formas de exclusão social, que atinge o gênero feminino de maneira marcante. / This work is the result of research in Urban Anthropology and brings a debate on the participation of women in hip hop Campina Grande-PB. The objective of this work is to understand how the woman appears in the hip hop movement in the city, starting from a gender perspective. Having ethnography as the main method of research was done an analysis of how women are inserted and how their acceptance by men of the city movement. The chronological analysis from the emergence of hip hop globally until his arrival in the city of Campina Grande was of great importance to understand the dynamics of hip hop and how the woman is inserted. Within the scope of the research, we sought to do the mapping of the places that the young women of the hip hop movement attend, and the link they establish. To be a movement that had its origins in the street, one should not rule out that the street was and, in a way, remains a space for the male role. Being a movement composed of four elements, the woman appears in only two of these elements, the break and graffiti. This participation should be seen within relationships involving other social categories such as class, race, level of education. Paradoxically, it is still revealing a motion denouncing and combating various types of social exclusion, it produces himself, forms of social exclusion, which affects the women markedly.

O texto procura apresentar as especificidades de uma infância entre muros, explorando a riqueza e a singularidade de suas formas de apropriação do condomínio e suas inserções pela cidade. Assim, explora, por um lado, a relação das crianças com os espaços do condomínio e como se desenrolam seus laços de sociabilidade, principalmente nos momentos de lazer. A pesquisa mostra como as crianças reescrevem os espaços do condomínio percebendo outra existência que não aquela constituída pelo percurso planejado, pela segurança diária, pelo tempo programado, enfim, por suas práticas cotidianas normatizadoras. Por outro lado, o texto descreve os principais deslocamentos das crianças para a cidade além muros e analisa a percepção da cidade para esse grupo de crianças. Mostra como seus deslocamentos pelo espaço urbano e as outras maneiras como as imagens da cidade chegam até esses agentes, são elementos significativos para suas percepções sobre o espaço urbano. Dessa maneira, a pesquisa procura refletir sobre uma experiência urbana singular, a partir dos diversos modos de enfrentar a cidade. Em suma, a dissertação apresenta uma infância na cidade e mostra em que medida uma apropriação da infância enquanto objeto sociológico pode contribuir para uma importante reflexão sobre as novas formas de subjetivação presentes na cidade contemporânea / Abstract: The dissertation deals with the phenomenon of urban segregation in Brazilian cities with reference to the daily life of a group of children, from 07 to 11 years of age, living in a gated community located in Campinas-SP. The text aims to present the specifics of a childhood between walls, exploring the richness and singularity of their forms of appropriation of the condominium and insertion into the city. Thus, on one hand, it explores the relationship of children with the gated community's spaces and how their ties of sociability take place, especially in moments of leisure. The research shows how children rewrite the spaces of the gated community perceiving an existence other than that formed by the planned route, the daily security, the scheduled time and their regulated every day practices. On the other hand, the text describes the major shifts of children to the city outside the walls and also examines the perception of the city for this group of children. It shows how through its displacement by urban space and other ways the images of the city come to such agents and are significant elements to their perceptions about urban space. Thus, the research reflects a unique urban experience, from the different ways of facing the city. In short, the thesis presents a childhood in the city and shows the extent to which ownership of childhood as a sociological object may contribute to an important reflection on new forms of subjectivity in the contemporary city / Mestrado / Sociologia da Cultura / Mestre em Sociologia

O caminho percorrido para a análise privilegiou os aspectos político-econômicos da questão imobiliária, numa abordagem dos efeitos (diretos e indiretos) do programa governamental sobre os processos especulativos de encarecimento das cidades brasileiras. Se as transformações recentes no mercado imobiliário nacional não se limitam à novidade do programa habitacional federal, o MCMV não representa propriamente um ponto de ruptura com as políticas públicas de habitação. Para além do alcance do programa está em curso um amplo processo de reconfiguração deste setor da economia nacional, que nos últimos anos se expandiu tanto do ponto de vista financeiro (mediante processos de financeirização) como do ponto de vista geográfico (com o crescimento e expansão das empresas da promoção imobiliária sobre as fronteiras urbanas e para Municípios e Estados nunca antes explorados).O primeiro capítulo faz uma síntese do problema que representam as mercadorias imobiliárias para a economia política marxista, numa perspectiva que privilegia a compreensão da renda da terra no processo produtivo, a relação entre esta renda e a circulação do capital portador de juros, bem como o papel da formação de capital fictício nas crises financeiras e no adiantamento do valor futuro.O segundo capítulo recupera conexões entre a questão do imobiliário e a atual crise do capitalismo. Como explica Harvey (2011), para compreender a crise atual é preciso entender como a última grande crise foi resolvida. Para isso, resgatamos aspectos da crise da década de 70 e traçamos um paralelo entre estas crises e os grandes programas de financiamento habitacional no Brasil. No geral, foi possível perceber interdependências: o programa MCMV coincide com a crise de 2007/2008 assim como o Plano Nacional de Habitação Popular do BNH coincidiu com a crise do petróleo em 1973. Internamente, embora o BNH tenha sido criado em 1964, somente com a criação do FGTS em 1966 conseguiu iniciar uma arrecadação significativa da massa salarial para a disponibilização de crédito habitacional. Ambos os momentos têm em comum as raízes na crise estrutural do capital, que a partir da década de 60 encontrou novas maneiras de "flexibilizar o capital e precarizar o trabalho" (Rodrigues, 2011). Perceber estas similitudes em um novo contexto de financeirização permite explicar o programa ao mesmo tempo pelo endividamento do assalariado brasileiro e pela especulação imobiliária promovida nos circuitos rentistas e financeiros que operam sobre a expectativa de "valorização imobiliária" (que se refere à expectativa de incremento da renda que se pode obter com a terra e não corresponde necessariamente ao valor-trabalho empregado).O terceiro e último capítulo procura trazer algumas contribuições sobre a questão da habitação no Brasil, especificamente sobre as dinâmicas entre o formal e o informal na produção da "habitação de interesse social". O foco da análise se divide entre o mercado informal - incluídas aqui as favelas, os loteamentos irregulares e clandestinos, os cortiços, etc. - e o mercado formal de provisão habitacional, do qual faz parte o programa de financiamento MCMV / Abstract: This work examines connections between the housing program "MinhaCasa Minha Vida - MCMV" (My House, My Life) and the recent increase in land prices in Brazil. The path for the analysis favored the political-economic aspects of real estate markets, in an approach to the housing program effects (direct and indirect) on the speculative processes of land prices in Brazil. The recent changes do not represent a breaking point on housing financial policies. Beyond the MCMV scope there is an on-going process that has reconfigured this broad sector of the national economy, which has expanded in recent years both from a financial standpoint (through financialization processes) as well on a geographical perspective (due to the growth and the expansion of real estate companies over urban frontiers and cities never explored before) (Fix, 2011).The first chapter presents some elements of marxist political economy in order to formulate a critical analysis about real estate issues. The chapter provides a synthesis on the real estate problem under a marxist perspective, which emphasizes the understanding of ground rent in the housing production process, the relationship between ground rent and circulation of interest bearing capital, and the formation of fictitious capital and financial crisis in anticipation of future value. The second chapter recovers connections between real estate markets and the current crises of capitalism. As explained by Harvey (2011), the understanding about the current crisis depends on the understanding of how the last big crisis was solved. In this perspective, the research recovers aspects of the 70s crisis and analyzes the connections between those crises and major housing finance programs in Brazil. The MCMV coincides with the crisis of 2007/2008 such as the largest national housing policy financed by BNH (National Housing Bank) coincides with the oil crisis in 1973. Although BNH was created in 1964, the expansion of housing credit in Brazil began with the creation of FGTS in 1966 and from the collection of a portion of salaries. Both times have in common its origin in the structural crisis of capital, which found new ways to limber capital and precarious labor since the 60s (Rodrigues, 2011). Understanding those similarities in a new context of financialization explain the housing finance policy not only through the absorption of payroll, but also through the speculative processes promoted by rentiers and financial circuits under the increase of estate prices (which refers to the expected increase on ground rent that can be achieved in land markets and do not correspond necessarily to the labor-value applied).The third and final discuss the housing problem in Brazil, specifically the dynamics between formal and informal production of housing directed to low-wage families workers needs. The focus is divided between the informal market - including slums, illegal settlements, tenements, etc. - and the formal housing provision, which includes the MCMV / Mestrado / Sociologia / Mestre em Sociologia

Spa in the Czech Republic With a focus on spa Jeseník, Luhačovice, Třeboň and Františkovy Lázně As the subject of my work I chose the Czech Republic spa. I look at the spa environment as a social phenomenon that affects many areas of social life and has a great tradition in Czech culture. With its unique atmosphere and the composition of the clients who visit them, they are more than just popular places by tourists or health facilities but they have also influence on the life of the living there and spa visitors. The work is intended to serve as a general base that could be suitable for further exploration of this area, and therefore tries to cover as many areas of the issue as possible. I try to work with examples from history to point out the role of the spa in the past and how they gradually transformed into what they are today. I also look at services that are offered at the spa and the structure of clients who come to the spa. My field of interest was also the formation of spa towns and life in them. This area is distinguished from others for a large number of changing spa clients. In my work I also did a probe between clients and employees of spa Jeseník, Luhačovice, Třeboň and Františkovy Lázně. With it, I was able to outline some of the differences between the various spas.

The concept of the city has come to play a central role in the practices of a new generation of artists for whom the city is their canvas. Street art is a complex social issue. For decades, its presence has fueled intense debate among residents of modern cities. Street art is considered by some to be a natural expression that exercises a collective right to the city, and by others, it is seen as a destructive attack upon an otherwise clean and orderly society. This research focuses on various forms of street art from the perspective of the urban audience. The general aim is to further an understanding of how people interact with and respond to street art. Qualitative and quantitative data were gathered via direct participant observations of street art installations and 139 surveys conducted with residents in Portland, Oregon. Survey respondents distinguished between street art forms; generally preferring installations and masterpieces over tagging and stickers. More respondents considered graffiti to be a form of artistic expression, rather than an act of vandalism. Participant observations indicated that purposefully-designed street art can promote interaction between people, art, and public space. Random urban spectators became active collaborators; using art and performance to express themselves in public. These findings indicate there is a need to reconsider zero tolerance graffiti policies. Overall, these findings also contribute to a more informed discussion regarding the regulation, acceptability, and possibilities of unauthorized artistic expression in cities.

Рассмотрение образа города представлено через призму классических и современных положений социологии города, социологии социального пространства, теории символического интеракционизма и концепции брендинга территорий. Проведенное эмпирическое исследование позволило выделить версии символических реальностей, присущих Екатеринбургу, и проверить каждую их них, насколько они являются доминирующими в представлениях его жителей. Сконструированный на основе совместного анализа данных опроса и контент-анализа образ города является отражением наиболее ярких черт Екатеринбурга, которые можно использовать при разработке целостной концепции брендинга. / Consideration of the image of the city is represented through the prism of the classical and modern positions of the sociology of the city, the sociology of social space, the theory of symbolic interactionism and the concept of territory branding. The empirical study made it possible to identify the versions of the symbolic realities inherent in Yekaterinburg, and to test each of them as far as they are dominant in the representations of its citizens. Designed on the basis of a joint analysis of survey data and content analysis, the image of the city is a reflection of the most striking features of Ekaterinburg, which can be used to develop an integral branding concept.

The formation of creative industries in post-industrial cities is becoming especially important every year. The development of creative industries and creative economy is the engine of modern cities that can transform the urban space, and use the creative potential of citizens properly. The conducted sociological research has revealed a discourse of creativity - dimensions that allow to analyze the place of creativity in the space of Ekaterinburg. The directions of creative spaces of the city are developed, which reflect the specificity of interactions of creative industries in the space of Ekaterinburg. / Формирование креативных индустрий в постиндустриальных городах с каждым годом приобретает особую актуальностью. Развитие креативных индустрий и креативной экономики является двигателем современных городов, способных преобразовывать городское пространство, и правильно использовать творческий потенциал горожан. Проведённое социологическое исследование выявило дискурс креативности – измерения, которые позволяют проанализировать место креативности в пространстве Екатеринбурга. Разработаны направления креативных пространств города, которые отражают специфику взаимодействий креативных индустрий в пространстве Екатеринбурга.
