Resumo: Neste texto nós analisamos as formas de sociabilidades estabelecidas entre feirantes e fregueses na Feira Central de Campina Grande-PB. A realização da pesquisa foi motivada pela baixa produção de trabalhos e o interesse em conhecer as sociabilidades na principal feira da cidade paraibana. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida a partir da etnografia urbana, através de incursões, observações, conversas, circulação (itinerância) pelos variados espaços da feira e realização de trinta e duas entrevistas gravadas, sendo trinta e uma com os principais personagens destacados na pesquisa, das quais vinte e uma com feirantes, doze do gênero masculino e nove com mulheres. Foram entrevistados dez fregueses, sendo seis do gênero feminino e quatro homens. O administrador da feira foi igualmente entrevistado. Os resultados e conclusões mostram que no universo social da feira, as atividades comerciais surgem como formas de interação inicial, sobre as quais se desenvolvem várias outras possibilidades entre feirantes e fregueses, tais como laços de confiança, de intimidade, de amizade, conflitualidades etc.    Palavras chave: Sociabilidades. Feira. Fregueses. Feirantes  “NEGOTIATED” SOCIABILITIES AT THE CENTRAL FAIR OF CAMPINA GRANDE-PB  Abstract: In this text we analyze the forms of sociability established between marketers and customers at the Central Fair of Campina Grande-PB. The research was motivated by the low production of works and the interest in knowing the sociability in the main fair in the city of Paraíba. The research was developed from urban ethnography, through incursions, observations, conversations, circulation (itinerancy) through the various spaces of the fair and the carrying out of thirty-two recorded interviews, thirty-one with the main characters highlighted in the research, of which twenty-one with marketers, twelve male and nine with women. Ten customers were interviewed, six female and four male. The fair administrator was also interviewed. The results and conclusions show that in the social universe of the fair, commercial activities emerge as forms of initial interaction, on which various other possibilities are developed between marketers and customers, such as bonds of trust, intimacy, friendship, conflict, etc.Keywords: Sociabilities.

Resumen: En este artículo nos sumergimos en una experiencia urbana particularmente interesante, en tanto es resultado de una experimentación colectiva: una plaza creada sobre las ruinas de un predio en una esquina de Montevideo por parte de un grupo autodefinido como anarquista. En primer término hacemos una introducción para contextualizar la aproximación etnográfica en la investigación mayor dentro de la cual se llevó a cabo, referida a las formas de habitar contemporáneas en los territorios del histórico segundo ensanche de Montevideo, el que consideramos como un laboratorio de exploración antropológica. Posteriormente presentamos el caso desde las concepciones y prácticas de ocupación anarquista, desde el devenir que nos lleva de las ruinas a su “recuperación” para la ciudad. Luego, problematizamos la noción de “acción directa” y las alternativas frente a la precariedad del habitar urbano, para llegar a analizar el fenómeno en los términos de las fuerzas que movilizan estos colectivos desde el anonimato en el diseño de espacialidades disruptivas. Palabras clave: Etnografía urbana. Anarquismo. Intervención urbana. Plaza. Esquina. DIRECT ACTION: A SQUARE OF NOBODY AND EVERYONEAbstract: In this paper we immerse ourselves in a particularly interesting urban experience, as it is the result of collective experimentation: a square created on the ruins of a building in a corner of Montevideo by a group that defined itself as an anarchist. Firstly, we make an introduction to contextualize the ethnographic approach in the major research within which it was carried out, referring to contemporary ways of dwelling in the territories of the historic second enlargement of Montevideo, which we consider as an anthropological laboratory for exploration. Later we present the case from the conceptions and practices of anarchist “occupation”, from the becoming that takes us from the ruins to its “recovery” for the city. Then, we problematized the notion of “direct action” and the alternatives to the precariousness of urban dwell, in order to analyze the phenomenon in terms of the forces that these groups mobilize from anonymity in the design of disruptive spatialities.Keywords: Urban ethnography.

Everyday Stress

AbstractEthnography, with its focus on everyday experience, can yield significant insights into understanding migrant mental health in contexts where signs of severe mental distress remain largely imperceptible, and more generally, into how stresses and strains are lived through the spaces, times and affective atmospheres of the city. Migrant ethnography can help us reconsider the oft-made connection between everyday stress and mental ill health. In this contribution, drawing on field evidence in central and peripheral Shanghai, we highlight the importance of attending to the forms of spatial and temporal agency through which migrants actively manage the ways in which the city affects their subjectivity. These everyday subjective practices serve to problematize the very concept of ‘mental health’. The paper engages in a critical dialogue with sociological and epidemiological research that assesses migrant mental health states through the lens of the vulnerability or resilience of this social group, often reducing citiness to a series of environmental ‘stressors’. Distinct from methods ascertaining or arguing against the prevalence of mental disorders among urban migrants, the insight of urban ethnography is to open up a space to explore the mediations that operate dialogically between the city as lived by migrants through particular places and situations and forms of distress.

Resumo: Este trabalho apresenta relatos e construções de conhecimento acerca da etnografia urbana, costurados a partir das experiências de campo de três mestrandas do PGPPMC/ FEEVALE, sobre a relação entre um dos estúdios de tatuagem mais antigos de Novo Hamburgo e uma das principais ruas do centro da cidade: a rua David Canabarro. Buscou-se investigar as transformações da cidade através do tempo e as percepções da sociedade hamburguense acerca da tatuagem como arte. O estudo justifica-se por sua abrangência interdisciplinar que considera importante difundir a relação entre movimentos culturais urbanos e a sociedade em diferentes áreas do conhecimento. Observa-se as analogias formadas entre uma localidade específica da cidade e sua sociedade, nota-se uma edificação cultural com subdivisões em diversas problemáticas sociais. A partir da fundamentação nos teóricos utilizados neste recorte etnográfico, e pela influência pessoal de cada sujeito presente neste trabalho, configurou-se uma admissível leitura sobre as operações culturais e sociais ocasionadas entre o estúdio de tatuagem e a comunidade hamburguense.Palavras-chave: Etnografia.

We sought to investigate the transformations of the city over time and the perceptions of Novo Hamburgo society about tattooing as an art. The study is justified by its interdisciplinary scope, which considers it important to disseminate the relationship between urban cultural movements and society in different areas of knowledge. It is possible to observe the analogies formed between a specific locality of the city and its society, there is a cultural edification with subdivisions in several social problems. Based on the foundations of the theorists used in this ethnographic approach, and due to the personal influence of each subject present in this work, an admissible reading was configured about the cultural and social operations caused between the tattoo parlor and the Novo Hamburgo community. Keywords: Ethnography.

Resumo: Levo a cabo neste artigo a proposta de apresentar a cidade de Manaus a partir da etnografia do circuito do “Rap AM” - como MCs/rappers, DJs, beatmakers e produtores musicais reconhecem o circuito da música Rap em Manaus -, trazendo interpretações e narrativas etnográficas fruto do encontro intersubjetivo com os colaboradores desta pesquisa de doutorado (2016-20) realizada em quase oito meses de trabalho de campo na referida metrópole amazônica. Parto do amparo teórico/teórico-metodológico interdisciplinar  (etnomusicologia/antropologia) através dos paradigmas da etnografia da música/etnografia urbana enfatizando três eixos centrais da pesquisa: 1. a cidade de Manaus a partir da lente do etnógrafo; 2. o olhar do “Rap de quebrada” e suas interpretações da cidade ao empregar as categorias “periferia”, “quebrada” e “favela”; 3. o olhar do “Rap regional” e a sua demanda por uma “Manaus étnica”. Ressalto as potencialidades desta etnografia ao propor outros olhares/escutas das/nas cidades amazônicas, ao passo que problematizo o imaginário comum em torno de uma Amazônia predominantemente “rural”.Palavras-chave: Música Rap. Manaus. Amazônia Urbana. Etnomusicologia.

I based myself in the interdisciplinary encounter of ethnomusicology and anthropology through the paradigms of music ethnography and urban ethnography. I emphasize the following issues throughout the paper: 1. Manaus city from the lens of the ethnographer; 2. "Ghetto Rap" subgenre and its interpretations of the city through categories such as “periphery” and “favela” ("slum area"); 3. “Regional Rap” subgenre and its demand for an “ethnic Manaus”. I underline potentialities of this ethnographic research for proposing other views and points of listening of and in Amazonian cities, and for problematize the common imaginary around a predominantly “rural” Amazon.Keywords: Rap Music.

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
