The everyday survival of the other at the border between ‘East’ and ‘West’ is the object of this study. The country in-between, Estonia, is a ‘melting pot’ of Russian, Western and Nordic influence, what makes this zone an active, diverse, nevertheless invisible in the global awareness. The process of transition and rapid neoliberalization, which is characteristic for the post-socialist country such as Estonia, brings together number of side-effects, lots of redundant people, who could not adapt to the new regime, who speculate and trade. The investigation of ‘Russian’ semi-official spaces of trade in Estonian capital, Tallinn, reveals the values and defects of the open-air markets.  The thesis highlights the need to politicize the processes around the disappearing and/or transforming the open-air markets in the city. In spite of the fact, that the informal trading is often connected with poverty, illegality, low hygiene, distrust and crime, this work explores the alternative ways of trading, the power of immediacy and aesthetics in confrontation to the global capital. The architecture as the transversal practice cuts across the patterns of trading based on irresponsible consumerism and desire, and experiments with the original concept of the market with the dialogue in front. The speculative interventions are the sites of the common life, production and renewal.

Abstract: Anthropological accounts of the state are often voiced from the perspective of the public, demonstrating the potential for danger or illegibility in encounters with the state. Less has been said, however, about how functionaries of the state perceive their interactions with the public. This perspectival bias needs to be overcome through ethnographies of the state, which can help scholars to look critically at our understanding of the state in everyday practice. This article examines one such “illegible” state bureaucracy, the Immigration Services Branch of the South African Department of Home Affairs, documenting some of the factors which inform the actions of street-level bureaucrats. It illustrates how officials develop systems of meaning to help them navigate the challenges posed by a mysterious populace and an unpredictable management hierarchy, and to effectively stabilize these two unstable entities. These systems of meaning also enable officials to act in ways which might run counter to official discourse, while simultaneously upholding its legitimacy. Their efforts at stabilization therefore incite a destabilization of the state, leading it to appear as “magical” or “illegible” to the public.

Esta pesquisa procura elaborar uma história sociocultural da cidade de Sorocaba, no período compreendido entre a década de 1890, quando ocorre a intensificação da industrialização na cidade, e meados dos anos 1940. Assim, o objeto a ser estudado é a própria cidade de Sorocaba nesse período, o que significa pensar a inserção e especificidade da cidade nos fluxos da modernidade, processo histórico pautado pelas transformações e adensamento das relações capitalistas no país. A partir dessa questão, procuro investigar aspectos do desenvolvimento urbano ocorrido em Sorocaba, pensando a cidade como artefato, a partir do estudo de alguns melhoramentos urbanos fundamentais como a implantação do serviço de água e esgotos e a utilização da eletricidade; e as representações, impressões e percepções elaboradas nesse contexto e que interagem com essas transformações. O que significa procurar apreender a fisionomia da cidade. Tais modificações são implementadas pelas elites dirigentes locais e que, por conta disso, constroem uma representação da cidade que a tornaria conhecida como Manchester Paulista. Portanto, o objetivo é analisar e historicizar tal construção simbólica, interagindo-a com outras representações / percepções da urbe, engendradas por diversos grupos, segmentos e classes sociais no âmbito do cotidiano; procurando, desse modo, apreender as múltiplas práticas, formas de sociabilidade, que vão se tecendo entre os diferentes atores no espaço urbano em decorrência das modificações pelas quais passa a cidade durante o período em tela. / The purpose of this research is to create a social-cultural history about the city of Sorocaba, in the corresponding period between the decade of 1890, when industrialization is intensified in the city, and the first years of the decade of 1940. Therefore the object to be studied is the city of Sorocaba itself during this period; the challenge is also to reflect about the entrance and specificity of the city in the modernity flow, a historical process regulated by the transformation and intensification of the capitalistic relations in the country. Concerning this issue, I intend to investigate aspects of the urban development that took place in Sorocaba, so in order to think of the city as an artifact, it is crucial to study a few fundamental urban improvements, like the introduction of the water and drain system and the use of electricity, and the representations, impressions and perceptions elaborated in this context that interact with these transformations. The idea is to search for and grasp the physiognomy of the city. Such modifications are implemented by the local governing elites, which consequently build an image of the city that would become known as the Manchester of São Paulo. Therefore, the aim is to analyze and historicize this symbolic construction, connecting it with other representations/ perceptions of the urbe, produced by several groups, segments and social classes in the daily routine, by this means the endeavor is to grasp the various practices, forms of sociability, that occur among different actors in the urban space as a consequence of the modifications that the city goes through during the observed period.

Ela investiga a identidade temporal das narrativas jornalísticas e o valor que o tempo possui para esse tipo de comunicação, verificando a contribuição do jornalismo para a percepção do tempo social e a noção temporal que favorece sua legitimação, ao mesmo tempo em que separa a ação narrativa jornalística na produção de passados, presentes e futuros. Assim, analisa essas produções segundo duas formas, comemoração e acontecimento, e investiga a necessidade de celebrar o passado e as formas dessa comemoração experimentadas como história, tradição e memória, três estratégias de narração dos tempos idos. Também observa a participação do passado na elaboração da notícia, uma forma particular de construção de acontecimentos, diferente daquela realizada pela operação historiográfica. Para isso, apresenta uma tipologia dos usos do tempo no cotidiano narrativo de três periódicos com mais de cem anos no espaço social do estado do Rio de Janeiro: Jornal do Commercio, O Fluminense e Jornal do Brasil. Esses usos do tempo revelam algumas funções desempenhadas pelas práticas jornalísticas no cotidiano, sobretudo a de marcar a passagem do tempo, seja fixando-o ou potencializando seu efeito de fluxo. Num passo seguinte, mostra as concepções de história implicadas nessas operações narrativas de natureza jornalística e, numa dimensão mais ampla, investiga os processos de significação do jornalismo a partir de diferentes relações que estabelecemos com o tempo por meio dessa prática social. E, por último, destaca a importância da narratividade jornalística na constituição das múltiplas consciências de história, devido a seu trabalho de sintetizar diariamente portões para outros tempos, sejam passados ou futuros ou mesmo presentes alargados numa territorialidade mais ampla do que aquela vivida presencialmente, e procura abordar o jornalismo como forma particular de interação social, definida por uma experiência temporal específica baseada na periodicidade e na expectativa de novidade, ao mesmo tempo em que em parte a gera. / The journalistic threads with which everyday life is entwined are the narrative articulations that this thesis analyzes. It investigates the temporal identity of journalistic narratives and the value that time plays for such a type of communication, by checking the contributions of journalism to the perception of social time. This research also investigates the notions of time that contribute to its legitimacy, while separating journalistic narrations into the production of past, present and future. The thesis purposes analyze these productions in two ways – as commemorations and as events - and investigates the need to celebrate the past and the ways that this celebration experience takes as history, as tradition and as memory, three different strategies of narratives of bygone days. It also notes the participation of the past in the construction of news, a particular form of producing events, different from that held by the historiographical operation. We present a typology of the uses of time in daily narratives of three newspapers with more than one hundred years in Rio de Janeiro: Jornal do Commercio, O Fluminense and Jornal do Brasil. These uses of time expose some functions performed by journalistic practices in everyday life, especially that of counting the course of time, either fixing it or potentiating its flow effect. Then, this thesis shows the concepts of history involved in these journalistic emplotments and, in a broader approach, investigates the long-term processes of signifying journalism by the different connections we have established over time with this social practice. Finally, we highlight the importance of journalistic narratives to frame multiple consciousness of history, due to their daily work of synthesizing gates to other times, whether to the past or to the future or even to the present as an extended territoriality larger than experiences personally attended. We tend to approach journalism as a particular form of social interaction, defined by a specific experience based on the periodicity and for whom most of its history has been based on the expectation and the generation of novelties.

This thesis is about the every day life of children who suffer from economic hardship. The aim is, from the children's point of view, to create an understanding of the consequences that economic hardship has on their relationships with their parents and other children. A further aim is to gain an understanding of how children act in relation to the families' economic situation and how they experience their every day life and general living conditions. Parents have also been interviewed about the families' general living conditions and the interaction between children and parents in relation to the economic situation. The empirical data has been collected over a period of fourteen months. Fourteen children aged 7-19 years and eight parents in seven families have been interviewed on five occasions. A total of 44 interviews have been conducted. The theoretical foundation of the thesis is childhood sociology, symbolic interactionism and social identity. The conclusions of this thesis can be summarized in two major results. The first is that economic hardship is of importance in the relationship with other children and in the interaction between children and their parents. The children's possibilities of participating together with peers through possessions and activities are affected to a varying extent depending on the circumstances. The relationship with their parents is also affected by children having to take economic responsibility and by children cooperating with them. Economic hardship also causes a strain on the relationship. The second major result is that children are active in forming theirs and their families' every day life in relation to the economic limits. On the basis of their understanding and their definition of the situation they choose different strategies, the aims of which are either to live within the limitations of the situation, so-called reactive strategies, or to change their own situation and sometimes also the situation of their household. These are defined as proactive strategies in the thesis.

O presente trabalho se dedica ao estudo do mobiliário presente nas casas dos povoados de Minas Gerais no século XVIII e início do XIX, entendendo-o como um dos principais elementos para a compreensão da dinâmica dos interiores residenciais e também tomando-o como parte integrante de uma complexa rede de relações, dadas as suas implicações na história social e da \"cultura material\". Deste modo, busca-se analisar os móveis, para além das classificações e descrições estilísticas, com o intuito de aprofundar o entendimento de seus usos e funções e em relação aos ambientes nos quais estes se inseriam, procurando-se também abordar questões relativas às características recorrentes ou particularidades tidas como de produção mineira. Para se cumprir tal objetivo, recorreu-se não apenas à bibliografia de referência mas também a textos coevos e fontes primárias disponíveis em diversos acervos e museus. Do cruzamento de tais informações se buscou estabelecer um diálogo vivo que permite lançar luz sobre importantes mudanças concernentes à vida privada no contexto da América portuguesa no decorrer dos Setecentos e princípio dos Oitocentos, assim como sobre a importância do reconhecimento das especificidades desenvolvidas no ambiente de produção artística e moveleira mineira e de seus condicionantes, questões que apontam ainda outras possibilidades de estudos acerca do móvel em uso na região mineira no século XVIII e início do XIX. / The current work is dedicated to the study of the furniture in the houses of Minas Gerais\' Villages in the 18th and early 19th centuries; understanding it as one of the main elements in the comprehension of the residential interior\'s dynamic. It has also been taken as a part of a complex net of relations, given its implications in the social and \"material culture\" history. Therefore, this study\'s aim is to analyze the furniture beyond the classifications and stylistic descriptions, with the intention of deepening the understanding of its uses and functions in relation to the environment in which the pieces were inserted; as well as approaching matters related to the recurrent characteristics or peculiarities seen as a Minas Gerais\' production. To fulfill such goal, in addition to reference bibliography, coeval texts and primary sources, which are available in several collections and museums, were consulted. By interweaving such information, it was sought to establish a living dialogue which allows light to be shed on important changes regarding the private life in the Portuguese-America\'s context throughout the 700\'s and early 800\'s, as well as on the importance of recognizing the specificities developed in the artistic and furniture production environment in Minas Gerais; issues that point out even more possibilities of study concerning the furniture used in the Eighteenth and early Nineteenth century in the studied region.
