Historical Transition

This chapter argues that ethnicity is the dominant organizing principle of social relations in Hawai‘i since the 1970s when it superseded race. This contention is based on the social construction of Hawaii’s constituent groups as ethnic groups rather than races, on the consequent lesser construction and assertion of racial categories and identities commonly invoked in the continental United States, and on the ongoing regulation of differential access to socioeconomic status by ethnicity and not race (or class). The chapter first discusses the conceptual difference between race and ethnicity, outlines the historical transition from race to ethnicity as the foremost structural principle of island society, reviews persisting ethnic inequality evident from 2010 U.S. Census data, and analyzes the racial dimensions of the shooting death in 2011 of a young Native Hawaiian by a U.S. State Department agent in Waikīkī. The argument that ethnicity is more significant than race as the primary principle of social organization in contemporary Hawai‘i is consistent with multiculturalism being the dominant ideology related to race and ethnicity in the islands rather than colorblindness as in the continental United States.

Biological Differences

The term gender refers to the cultural and social characteristics attributed to men and women on the basis of perceived biological differences. In the 1970s, feminists focused on sex roles, particularly the socialization of men and women into distinct masculine and feminine roles and the apparent universality of patriarchy. More recent work has critiqued the idea of two distinct genders, calling into question the notion of gender dichotomies and focusing attention on gender as a constitutive element of all social relationships. Gender has been described as a social institution that structures the organization of other institutions, such as the labor market, families, and the state, as well as the social relations of everyday life. In addition, scholars have pointed to the ways in which gender is constructed by organizations and individual interactions. Gender not only differentiates men and women into unequal groups, it also structures unequal access to goods and resources, often crosscutting and intersecting with other forms of inequality, such as class, race, and ethnicity.

Since the public inauguration of the URP (Urban and Regional Planning) Bill in 2009, which is now law (The Urban and Regional Planning Act No. 3 of 2015), urban planning in Zambia has undergone changes. In partnership with the Volunteer Service Overseas (VSO) Federation, the Zambian parliament put into effect pilot urban planning assistance programs to assist districts around the country, including Chipata District in 2011, transition to a more decentralized, integrated and locally-defined approach to urban planning. However, the presence of discrimination, corruption, and negative attitudes towards urban planning engagement, social maladies prominently displayed in Zambian society, pose challenges to implementing the ideal goals of the 2009 URP Bill. The extreme, widespread poverty in Zambia merely exacerbates the propensity towards corrupt and discriminatory behavior, and influences poor attitudes toward urban planning engagement. This paper describes the projects undertaken by the VSO volunteer from the USA between 2011 and 2012 in the light of the specific urban problems facing Chipata District, and discusses the ways the social maladies play out in Zambian society to pose challenges to implementing the recommended changes to the planning system scribed in the 2009 URP Bill.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo relacionar aspectos da pesquisa no âmbito da pós-graduação em Planejamento Urbano e Regional com o processo de aprendizado em “Antropologia Visual e da Imagem”, disciplina cursada junto ao PPGAS/UFRGS no segundo semestre do ano próximo passado. Neste sentido, o campo da imagem é explorado como forma de pensar e projetar o território urbano (aqui trazido como área de formação, atuação e interesse do pesquisador), em especial por sua capacidade narrativa e de interpretação do imaginário social. A escolha metodológica deriva entre os aspectos da leitura e decifração do imaginário social (a partir da visão de Walter Benjamin), das estratégias projetuais evidenciadas no pensamento por cenários e, ainda, pela análise e interpretação de imagens no âmbito da antropologia visual; em todos os casos com foco nas analogias e/ou complementaridades da capacidade hermenêutica das imagens em cada um dos campos de conhecimento.Palavras – chave: Imagem dialética. Cenários. Imagem. Montagem. Narrativas.Search dialogues with studies in visual anthropology and imageAbstractThis work aims to relate aspects of research within the post graduation in Urban and Regional Planning with the learning process in "Visual and Imagetic Anthropology" course taken within the PPGAS / UFRGS in the second half of last year. In this sense, the image field is explored as a way of thinking and designing the urban territory (brought here as an undergraduation, performance and research field of interest), in particular by the narrative and interpretation ability of the social imaginary. The methodological choice derives from the aspects of reading and deciphering the social imaginary (from a Walter Benjamin's view), the projective strategies evidenced from the thinking through scenarios and also for the analysis and interpretation of images in the context of visual anthropology; in all cases focusing on analogies and / or complementarities of hermeneutics capacity of images in each of these fields of knowledge.Key words: Dialectical image.

Funding Research

Esta é uma abordagem inicial, de trabalho, que busca estabelecer alguns parâmetros para a compreensão da conjuntura e do processo de financiamento à pesquisa da área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional no Brasil, através da análise da ação do CNPq, no período recente. Adotamos, primeiro, como recorte a grande área de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas e Educação do CNPq, para construirmos uma referência para a análise do fomento à pesquisa na área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional, tanto pelo fato dessa área congregar majoritariamente as áreas de conhecimento com proximidade ao planejamento, quanto pela forma de agregação de dados adotada pelo CNPq para disponibilização de suas informações. Na segunda parte do texto, avaliamos especificamente os dados do comitê assessor de Sociais Aplicadas, o CA-SA, que contém a área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional, Arquitetura e Urbanismo, Geografia, Demografia e Turismo. Ao final, fazemos um breve balanço e apontamos algumas linhas de ação para o futuro, uma vez que a articulação ao território do processo de formação acadêmica e de criação em ciência e tecnologia é um dos grandes desafios colocados ao Brasil hoje. Palavras-chave: CNPq; pesquisa; Planejamento Urbano e Regional. Abstract: This is a first approach that aims to establish some parameters to understand the situation and the process of research funding on the Urban and Regional Planning Area within Brazil Research Council (CNPq), in the recent period. Initially we analyze the large area of Social Applied Sciences and Education of the CNPq, to build a reference framework to support the funding research analyses in the field of urban and regional planning, in so far as this area embraces most of the knowledge fields with some proximity to the planning area, as well as the way CNPq provides its data information. Afterwards, we evaluated specifically the data of the Social Applied Sciences Advisory Committee (CA-SA), which comprises the area of Urban and Regional Planning, Architecture and Urbanism, Geography, Demography and Tourism. To conclude, we make a short appraisal pointing out some lines of action for the future, since linking the territory in the process of academic formation and of creation in science and technology is one of the big challenges to Brazil overcome nowadays.

The social lives of network effects: Speculation and risk in Jakarta's platform economy

Under the designation “platform urbanism,” there is growing scholarly recognition that platform intermediaries are reconfiguring urban industries, processes, and relationships through the collection and manipulation of big data. Central to realizing this economic project is financial speculation on platforms’ ability to coordinate network effects—a phenomenon in which the more users there are in a networked system, the more valuable and useful it becomes. In this paper, I argue that while the existing literature recognizes the importance of network effects, it has also adopted a limited conceptualization that understands platform firms as the primary agents generating and capturing the economic benefits of network effects. Drawing on 12 months of ethnographic fieldwork in Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, I work to expand this understanding through attention to the social lives of network effects—the ways in which platform architectures are always embedded in social relations created and sustained in everyday urban life. I show how ride-hailing drivers have attempted to mitigate the risks of their work through building socio-technical networks of their own, for their own purposes. Doing so reveals that it is not only platform firms and venture capital that speculate on network effects; rather, a range of actors in the city-region seek to tap into driver networks to advance their own social, political, and economic ends. In conclusion, I suggest that attending to these practices opens up space to reframe platform urbanism beyond its current preoccupation with macro political economic analyses, while also establishing new lines of inquiry for “speculative urbanism.”

What are the social reasons for urban planning activity? How can we discuss issues, principles, values and guidelines in urban planning action today? The title of these notes is drawn from a series of three seminars which we organised and held between 2011 and 2012, with support from the Diap. These notes accompany Susan Fainstein's essay at the beginning of this edition of the journal. The expression ‘contemporary planning matters' with its double meaning is both a reference to the reasons for contemporary planning activity and a pointer to the challenges of the subject and issues which urban planning action must meet today. It is on these big issues that we have invited Susan Fainstein, Tim Rieniets and Jacques Donzelot to dicuss the conditions to which urban and regional planning is subject today.

Direction Of Effects

Abstract. In family systems, it is possible for one to put oneself at risk by eliciting aversive, high-risk behaviors from others ( Cook, Kenny, & Goldstein, 1991 ). Consequently, it is desirable that family assessments should clarify the direction of effects when evaluating family dynamics. In this paper a new method of family assessment will be presented that identifies bidirectional influence processes in family relationships. Based on the Social Relations Model (SRM: Kenny & La Voie, 1984 ), the SRM Family Assessment provides information about the give and take of family dynamics at three levels of analysis: group, individual, and dyad. The method will be briefly illustrated by the assessment of a family from the PIER Program, a randomized clinical trial of an intervention to prevent the onset of psychosis in high-risk young people.
