Governability is quite ofien used as an "umbrella concept", under which both the capacity of governance (manner in which power is exercised in the management of a territory) and the governability in the strict sense of the word (acceptation of the social and political status quo by the people) are subsumed. The first part of this article underlies the difference between these two concepts The second part examines facts in relation to governance and governability problems in Rio de Janeiro, and discusses some ideologically generated current exaggerations about the governability crisis in this metropolis, as suggested by the experience of the 1980s and 1990s.

The study which is descriptive qualitative in nature, aims to investigate preference of politeness strategies by Balinese Hindu-community in traditional marriage ritual. Data was collected using interview and observation methods. Based on the results of data analysis, this research shows that the form of politeness that arises can be seen in terms of place, time, to the leaders of the people, during preparation, implementation, disclosure of the relationship with the Almighty, and after the completion of the ritual. The different forms of politeness that emerge can be seen from the use of Balinese in various levels which are adjusted to the social distance and speech situation. Besides being seen from the use of language, linguistic politeness is also evident from the attitude, intonation, and tone of the speaker. The difference in the form of politeness is intentionally raised to cause certain psychological impacts on the interlocutor.

Abstract In dit artikel belichten Hanka Otte en Pascal Gielen het onderscheid tussen gemeenschapskunst en gemene kunst, beter bekend als community art en commoning art. Hun stelling is dat gemeenschapskunst, zoals sociaal-artistieke projecten, deels gesubsidieerd worden omdat ze de maatschappelijke status quo bevestigen. Gemene kunst zet daarentegen niet alleen in op het sociale, maar ook op het politieke, en valt daarom vaak tussen de mazen van het vigerende cultuurbeleid. Dat beleid vermijdt volgens de auteurs het politieke, doordat het kunst enkel van publieke waarde acht wanneer het door zoveel mogelijk individuen wordt geconsumeerd. De persoonlijke smaak of persoonlijke werking van kunst staat voorop in het cultuurbeleid, waardoor er wordt voorbijgegaan aan de mogelijkheden die kunst aan een gemeenschap biedt. De auteurs pleiten daarom voor een gemeen cultuurbeleid dat enkel kaders geeft en artistieke ontwikkelingen autonoom hun gang laat gaan. In this article, Hanka Otte and Pascal Gielen examine the difference between community art and commoning art. They argue that community art, like social art, is subsidised in part because it reinforces the societal status quo. Because commoning art, by contrast, not only commits itself to the social, but to the political as well, it tends to fall between the cracks of the current cultural policy. According to Otte and Gielen, this policy turns a blind eye on politics, presuming that only art that is consumed by as many individuals as possible is of any public value. Our cultural policy puts personal taste or art's personal effect centre stage, thus ignoring the many things art has to offer the community. Hence the author's plea for a commoning cultural policy that provides only a framework and that lets artists develop autonomously.

The socioeconomic, political and cultural integration process of the region known as Zona Oeste [West Zone], in the city of Rio de Janeiro [Brazil], was built on agricultural vocation conceiving. The spatial analysis of this work is Rio da Prata, a neighborhood of Campo Grande, in the West Zone. Using desk and field methods, the methodological orientation is given by the theoretical framework of Social Memory. A contextualization of the region is presented in a historical perspective, seeking to dialogue in an interdisciplinary way with issues inherent to representations about the urban-rural from a perspective reoriented towards to the environmental bias, and also about the notions of 'tourism' and 'leisure'. It is hypothesized that the increase of visitation in natural areas, allied to the tendency of turistification of rural communities’ lifestyle changed the people flow in the neighborhood and produced symbolic goods. This work discusses the nuances presented in the turistification process and highlights that it is the memory of what remained in the social representation as rural that draws up the local attractiveness.

The Difference

This paper states out that marginality is not always the space of radical difference as a range of spatial theories underline, but also a hostile space that transforms the difference into a mechanism of exclusion. The spatial representations of Moldova, a conservative space with a particular mythology, expose a limitative oppressive space that alienates the people that fall out its canon. The borough in Mihail Sadoveanu’s work or the provincial city in Ionel Teodoreanu’s literature are examples of this hostile space which is marginality. The myths of periphery such as the glorious past, the social idyll or the organic community operate with mechanisms of power that constrain and fix according to a pre-existing image of space. Therefore, the periphery becomes the space of radical closure, excluding the difference in name of a marginal identity. I examine two realities of this radical space: the place stereotype and the spaces of collection. While the first one forces the diversity of spatial practices to fit a unitary ideal image of space, the second type accumulates the variety of spatial representations but deprives them of any functionality.

Marunda North Jakarta is known as a fisherman settlement area that has been aged for hundreds of years, besides that this area is also the location of low-income housing construction for Low-Income Community Groups (MBR) whose residents are residents who are relocated from various villages in Jakarta, so that the residents of the flat are very heterogeneous. The diverse backgrounds of the Marunda people cause differences in culture and daily habits that create the creation of social boundaries that result in a lack of harmony in the social sphere between residents of Rusunawa and Kampung Nelayan communities, in the process of relocating some residents to lose their jobs. Apart from that, the difference in the shape of the dwellings that were different from those previously densely landed and now are now vertical which causes the formation of spatial boundaries that did not exist before. There is a need that can support the community to create harmony in the diversity of the Marunda community in social, economic and cultural aspects. This study aims to develop a Marunda Activity Center design concept as a third place to accommodate the activities of Marunda residents using the Transprogramming method. The building is designed by combining programs that are spatially different, with the aim of producing programs that are fit to the community so that they can build social interaction and can support the economy to improve the quality of life which will have an impact on the welfare of the people of Marunda. AbstrakMarunda Jakarta Utara dikenal sebagai kawasan pemukiman nelayan yang telah berusia ratusan tahun. Selain itu kawasan ini juga merupakan lokasi dibangunnya rusunawa bagi kelompok Masyarakat Berpenghasilan Rendah (MBR) yang sebagian penduduknya adalah warga yang direlokasi dari berbagai kampung di Jakarta, sehingga penghuni rusun bersifat sangat heterogen. Beragamnya latar belakang warga Marunda menyebabkan terjadinya perbedaan dalam budaya dan kebiasaan sehari-hari yang menjadikan terciptanya batas sosial yang mengakibatkan kurangnya keharmonisan dalam lingkup sosial baik antar penghuni Rusunawa maupun masyarakat Kampung Nelayan. Dalam proses relokasi sebagian warga kehilangan pekerjaannya. Selain hal tersebut perbedaan bentuk tempat tinggal yang berbeda dari yang sebelumnya padat landed lalu sekarang menjadi vertikal yang menyebkan terbentuknya batas spasial yang sebelumnya tidak ada. Terdapat kebutuhan yang dapat menunjang masyarakat untuk mewujudkan keharmonisan dalam keberagaman masyarakat Marunda pada aspek sosial, ekonomi dan seni budaya. Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menyusun suatu konsep perancangan Marunda Activity Center sebagai third place untuk mewadahi kegiatan warga Marunda dengan menggunakan metode Transprogramming. Bangunan dirancang dengan menggabungkan program-program yang berbeda secara spasialnya, dengan tujuan untuk menghasilkan program yang fit kepada masyarakat sehingga dapat membangun interaksi sosial dan dapat menunjang perekonomian untuk meningkatkan kualitas hidup yang akan berdampak pada kesejahteraan masyarakat Marunda.

This chapter examines artworks by young Syrian artists produced during the first decade of the twenty–first–century. Seeking to distance themselves from what they perceived as outdated aesthetics, seen in the work of their teachers in the art school and the work exhibited at the official, state–sponsored artistic events, the young generation of artists began experimenting with artistic techniques and media that were new to the country, also searching for new ways to interact with society and advocate for social and eventually political change in the country. They addressed a wide range of issues related to the contemporary Syrian society and made a critique of the social and political status quo. Critical examinations of gender norms presented an important aspect of their critical art production, as they regarded the issues of gender as an important part of their wider project of re–thinking art as a means for social and political change.

During the late 1930s Los Angeles' public sphere was radically transformed through the actions of a little known citizens' organization which created and deployed a sophisticated surveillance apparatus to pursue reform of the city government. That group—CIVIC—labored to convince the voting public that municipal officials had provided police protection to organized gambling and prostitution operations in exchange for campaign contributions. In their efforts to dismantle an economic and political status quo, CIVIC operated both surreptitiously and in plain sight, all the while seeking the participation of the people of Los Angeles in what was publicized as a citizens' crusade to purge the city of its corrupt political and criminal leadership.

The article offers a reconstruction of the social ideals of Russian spiritualists. Main sources include texts revealing spiritualists’ ideas about the structure of the spiritual world; structure and characteristics of spiritual circles; and literary works by spiritualists reflecting their social ideals. Although the social and political views of Russian spiritualists were mostly conservative, their ontological views contained elements of social radicalism. The author distinguishes between the two types of spiritualists — rationalists and traditionalists — depending on their attitude towards the Orthodox Church, Christian theology and their specific views about the spiritual world. All spiritualists viewed the society critically as gripped with disease. Rationalist spiritualism was critical towards Christian dogmatic and practice, and although its supporters advocated the preservation of the social and political status quo, they hoped for both gradual social and political transformation and the realization of social ideals in the spiritual world. The traditionalists, despite their commitment to monarchy and the Church institution, expected a millenarian overturn and thus challenged the social and political order. Overall, the spiritualist social ideals are close to communitarian social projects based upon the idea of Christian brotherhood.

Rapid Transformation

The low caste, Dalit and Tribal social movements in India have reconfigured the fabric of Indian society in significant ways over the past decade. Likewise, the movement of these same groups into anthropology, a discipline previously dominated in India by uppercaste intellectuals, has created a dynamic force for change in the academy. At a time when India is vying with the global economic powers for supremacy, the people severely affected are low caste, Dalits and Tribal peoples, who see their lands being lost and their lifestyles in rapid transformation. Some from these same groups are also witnessing some of their daughters and sons pursuing higher studies and entering into the social sciences. The entry of these young scholars not only challenges the caste-based status quo in the academy, but it also forces these scholars to question their own position in relation to these social movements and in relation to Indian society more broadly.
