Record of the avenue daily episodes, recognized as extremely informative situations, able to point to these spaces plural meanings and unsuspected potential for its improvement by urban redesigning. / Reflexão sobre a qualidade dos espaços públicos da Avenida Paulista, baseada na observação direta da utilização desses espaços pela população. Registro de episódios cotidianos da avenida, reconhecidos como situações extremamente informativas, capazes de apontar sentidos plurais para esses espaços e potencialidades insuspeitas de seu aprimoramento, através do redesenho urbano.

Esta dissertação é resultado de pesquisa etnográfica desenvolvida de setembro de 2007 a dezembro de 2008, junto aos moradores da vila Elo Dourado e outros atores, na antiga região rural chamada de Lomba do Pinheiro, na cidade de Porto Alegre, RS. As questões que orientaram a pesquisa são relativas às configurações de uma memória da cidade. Procurou-se dar conta dessas questões por meio da compreensão interpretativa das práticas cotidianas e das narrativas do grupo estudado. Esta compreensão foi construída na interlocução etnográfica, entendida como um "caminhar juntos" no esforço de imaginar o espaço urbano tal como vivido pelos sujeitos do estudo. O lugar da pesquisadora foi entendido também como o lugar do narrador, bosquejando mapas junto aos seus interlocutores e deslocando-se com eles através de fronteiras e paisagens imaginárias. Tanto as práticas observadas quanto as narrativas ouvidas foram consideradas constituintes e constitutivas de uma memória partilhada e de formas de agência que incluem maneiras de imaginar e de atuar. / The present dissertation is the result of the ethnographic research carried out between September 2007 and December 2008 among inhabitants and other actors of "Vila Elo Dourado" in the former rural region of Lomba do Pinheiro, Porto Alegre. The questions that guided the research refer to the configuration of city memories. The objective was to provide answers through an interpretative comprehension of practices and narrations of the studied group. This comprehension was built from the interaction based on fieldwork assumed as a "walk together" towards the urban landscape as the actors experience it. The researcher point of view was just one in the narrative, figuring out maps, frontiers and imaginative landscapes. All the observed and the narrated narratives were considered as constituent and constitutive of a shared memory and as forms of agency which imply ways of imagining and acting. / Esta disertación es el resultado de la investigación etnográfica realizada entre setiembre de 2007 y diciembre de 2008 entre los habitantes del asentamiento Elo Dourado y otros actores, en una antigua región rural de la ciudad de Porto Alegre llamada Lomba do Pinheiro.

Se buscó dar respuesta a estas preguntas a través de la comprensión interpretativa de prácticas y narrativas observadas y oídas en el grupo estudiado. Esta comprensión fue construida en la interlocución del trabajo de campo, entendido como un "caminar juntos" en el esfuerzo de imaginar el espacio urbano tal como lo viven los sujetos de estudio. El lugar de la investigadora también fue entendido como el lugar del narrador, esbozando mapas junto a sus interlocutores y desplazándose con ellos a través de fronteras y paisajes imaginarios. Tanto las prácticas observadas como las narrativas escuchadas fueron consideradas constituyentes y constitutivas de una memoria compartida y de formas de agencia que implican maneras de imaginar y de actuar.

With a tense political landscape with stigmatizing discourse about migrants and so-called migrant ghettos, alongside continuous indications of gender imbalances in public spaces in Copenhagen, a focus on migrant women was chosen. The thesis takes its outset in a photo project conducted in Kringlebakken, an integration house in Copenhagen. Six migrant women participated and were asked to photograph the city through their eyes, meaning taking photos of their everyday lives and places they wanted to show and talk about in the following photo elicitation interviews. With agency and empowerment as key values the women navigated the conversation and shared experiences about their everyday lives. Concepts of intersectionality, the everyday and emotional geographies were applied through a feminist lens, highlighting the role emotions play in shaping our perception of spaces. From an inductive approach two themes were found: 1) green spaces and 2) everyday practices and challenges. The women shared peaceful moments and embodied experiences in nature both with themselves, with their children and their family. The green spaces evoked gratitude, appreciation and peace and had a general restorative effect in their everyday life. Their appreciation mainly stems from previous experiences in their home countries where urban green areas are not as accessible. Furthermore green spaces become a space where the women can get a break from the everyday chores. In contrast, the experiences shared about the everyday spaces and practices included language barriers, discrimination and feelings of exclusion. The added hindrances to urban life brings a level of discomfort in their everyday lives and it is here that Kringlebakken plays an essential role as an inclusive space in the women’s lives. Highlighting these embodied experiences adds nuances to a heterogeneous group that is often depicted as a homogeneous group.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a system whereby members purchase shares in a farm in the spring and then receive produce (maple syrup, meat, honey, vegetables, fruit, etc.) over the course of the growing season. The significance of this system is contested with critics, chiefly sociologist Julie Guthman (2008), asserting that CSA reproduces neoliberalism. Guthman's thesis on the relationship between practices, subjectivities, and political imaginaries is generative. My intervention is predominantly methodological. Guthman offers a systemic overview, in keeping with Michel Foucault's scholarship on governmentality, but does not explore the embodied nature of governmentality at the scale of the people involved. I contend that to understand how neoliberal governmentality plays out in CSA, we need to explore embodied practices at the scale of the people involved. I rely on Dorothy Smith's agent perspective and examine the practices associated with CSA for a discursive reading of those practices. My discursive reading employs J.K. Gibson-Graham's diverse economies approach. Participation in CSA cultivates a sense of connection to a local geographic community, and a community of practice, contrary to the seemingly individualized nature of the market transactions which form the basis of CSA. This sense of connection is supportive of prefigurative practices, farming practices, and activism. The relationality experienced by CSA farmers and members undergirds political activism, and the connection to communities of practice galvanizes and supports both discursive and protest practices. Attention to discourse at the scale of the individual provides insight into how discourses are co-produced and allows us to observe discourses in various stages of development, from those just entering the public square on social media, to those further developed, conceptually rich, with saliency for both farmers and members, and linked to political protest. The communities that exist in opposition to the individualization of neoliberalism, the production of discourse that both resists and reinscribes neoliberalism, and the practices that shape our subjects and political imaginaries, visible at this scale, provide insight into the connection between local and global discourses, and the connection between everyday practices and protest.

Doing Gender gilt als Zentralbegriff der interaktionistischen Geschlechterforschung. Er fokussiert, wie Menschen im Alltag Geschlecht inszenieren, beobachten und relevant machen. Statt Geschlecht als Eigenschaft von Individuen zu begreifen oder den beiden Großgruppen ‚Männer’ und ‚Frauen’ zuzurechnen, wird Geschlecht mithilfe der Doing Gender-Perspektive als Ergebnis einer Vielzahl alltäglicher, situationsspezifischer Unterscheidungen aufgefasst und untersucht.
