Valdemingómez, however, revolves around its own norms and codes which defy and violate conventional everyday conceptions of normative behaviour. This congregation of crime, violence and victimization in a spatial and legal no-mans land like Valdemingómez means that grave misdemeanours occur without consequences and violence is normalized part of the everyday fabric of social life. For this reason, in Valdemingómez almost anything goes and this produces a series of tensions in the social hierarchies that are attached to cultural interactions in the area which permeate elements of work and labour, the moral economy, daily life and social relations. In this chapter, we take a detailed look at the cultural milieu of Valdemingómez and its operations, and show how people survive there and how the various players attempt to foster some self-respect from these harsh realities.

Justin Carville draws on recent debates in relation to photography and the everyday in order to examine the role of street-photography in the cultural politics of religion as it was played out in the quotidian moments of social relations within Dublin’s urban and suburban spaces during the 1980s and 90s. The essay argues that photography was important in giving visual expression to the social contradictions within the relations between religion and the transformation of Irish social life, not through the dramatic and traumatic experiences that defined the nation’s increased secularism, but in the quiet, humdrum and sometimes monotonous routines of religious ceremonies and everyday social relations.

Este trabalho apresenta parte dos resultados de uma pesquisa, que estudou o percurso vivido por professoras migrantes, que atuam em escolas públicas no município de Campo Verde, interior do Estado de Mato Grosso. Nos estudos foram consultadas fontes documentais e orais, na medida em que a investigação procurou situar e refletir o processo de ocupação da cidade, bem como as implicações humanas e ambientais atinentes a esse processo. Nesse espaço geográfico e de sociabilidade, também considerada fronteira humana, são reproduzidas formas de convivências pacíficas e solidárias, mas ainda são lugares segregadores, nos quais estereótipos, preconceitos e discriminação permeiam as relações sociais, principalmente, com a população autóctone, como os índios e os negros. A partir da reflexão acerca da forma de ocupação e organização da cidade, buscou-se responder às questões étnico-raciais que permeiam as relações sociais e educativas da cidade, muitas vezes, conflituosas no cotidiano de alunos, pais e professores. Os resultados da pesquisa contribuíram, também, para uma reflexão sobre os motivos, que impulsionaram o processo de migração e a necessidade de maior preservação dos recursos naturais frente ao crescimento da monocultura.Palavras-chave: Migração. Ocupação. Convivências e Conflitos.AbstractThis paper presents part of the results of a survey, which studied the route experienced by migrant teachers working in public schools in the municipality of Campo Verde, interior of the state of Mato Grosso. In the studies oral and documentary sources were consulted , to the extent that the research sought to situate and reflect the process of occupancy of the city, as well as the human and environmental implications related to this process. In this geographic space and sociability, also considered human frontier, are reproduced forms of peaceful cohabitation and solidarity, but there are still segregating places , in which stereotypes, prejudices and discrimination permeates the social relations, especially, with the indigenous population, such as the Indians and blacks. From the reflection about the form of occupation and organization of the city, it was sought to respond to the ethnic-racial issues that permeate the social relations and educational activities of the city, many times, conflicting in the everyday life of students, parents and teachers. The results of the research contributed also to a reflection on the reasons that drove the migration process and the need for greater preservation of natural resources before the monoculture growth.Keywords: Migration.

<p class="06IsiAbstrak">This paper seeks to depict a reciprocal dialogue between the religious gathering of Sufism that is typical with piety and the social activities in the coffeehouse given to take pleasure and leisure occurring in one place in Yogyakarta. This depiction intends for reconsidering deeply how Sufism influences to society. Despite the gathering going on weekly, the everyday life of coffeehouse society from January to July in 2018 will present here to support the picture of dialogue. In result, there is a change of social formation in the coffeehouse by virtue of an encounter between piety and pleasure and leisure. However, this change is not as simply as Misbah (Misbah, 2018b) sketch before consisting of <em>followers (Jama’ah), coffee drinkers, and visitors. </em>It is due to the main characteristics<em> </em>of coffeehouse society that tends to be freely from what social status is, thereby becoming difficult enough to formulate precisely. Of this, there is thus a question in relation with what the harmonious landscape in coffeehouse described by Misbah (Misbah, 2018b) is completely generated from Sufism or a product of the social life of coffeehouse.</p>

The article reveals the issue of time recorded in the urban space, which determines the specific rhythm, continuity and passing of consecutive generations and their social relations. Presented research results focus on cemeteries and appear to be helpful in better understanding of their identity in the city structure, as well as the factors shaping their perceptions by individual people. Qualitative research methods have been applied, in particular: visual materials (photos) analysis and the semantic field analysis. It seems that the use of images and narratives opens up new possibilities for human geography, new sources of spatial exploration. The problem undertaken in the article is important both from the cognitive and practical perspective related to the appropriate shaping of the city space – modern, yet at the same time not rooted out of the tradition and identity of a particular place, where people would feel good, being able to find both a reference to the past and to the future.

This book analyses the physical, social, and cultural history of Rome in late antiquity. Between AD 270 and 535, the former capital of the Roman empire experienced a series of dramatic transformations in its size, appearance, political standing, and identity, as emperors moved to other cities and the Christian church slowly became its dominating institution. Urban Space and Aristocratic Power in Late Antique Rome provides a new picture of these developments, focusing on the extraordinary role played by members of the traditional elite, the senatorial aristocracy, in the redefinition of the city, its institutions, and spaces. During this period, Roman senators and their families became increasingly involved in the management of the city and its population, in building works, and in the performance of secular and religious ceremonies and rituals. As this study shows, for approximately three hundred years the houses of the Roman elite competed with imperial palaces and churches in shaping the political map and the social life of the city. Making use of modern theories of urban space, the book considers a vast array of archaeological, literary, and epigraphic documents to show how the former centre of the Mediterranean world was progressively redefined and controlled by its own elite.

The case study in this paper is on the Daur (as well as the Evenki, Buriat, and Bargu Mongols) in Hulun Buir, Northeast China. The aim of this research is to examine how shamanic rituals function as a conduit to actualize communications between the clan members and their shaman ancestors. Through examinations and observations of Daur and other Indigenous shamanic rituals in Northeast China, this paper argues that the human construction of the shamanic landscape brings humans, other-than-humans, and things together into social relations in shamanic ontologies. Inter-human metamorphosis is crucial to Indigenous self-conceptualization and identity. Through rituals, ancestor spirits are active actors involved in almost every aspect of modern human social life among these Indigenous peoples.
