During the Peronist years (1943‐55), architect Jorge Sabaté designed several exhibitions and ephemeral installations to be erected in the central streets of Buenos Aires. These interventions were aimed at transforming the face of the city, repurposing its spaces for unprecedented uses and expressing the right ‘the people’ had gained to free time, outings and leisure. In this article, I examine the architectural illustrations that Sabaté appended to the rest of his plans. The incorporation into his drawings of the social practices of metropolitan strolling is one of the ways in which the Peronist exhibitions designed by Sabaté relate to urban culture. By staging the masses in these materials, Sabaté proposes a whole new form of conviviality in public space and depicts the popular sectors aspiring to a new lifestyle made possible by the intersection of technological progress and expanded access to consumer goods.

This article focuses on the importance of reclaiming our rights as citizens and our public spaces by documenting two different public installations/performances that took place in Beirut. The first took place in Spring 2018 and was organized by BePublic Lab at the American University of Beirut, and the second was the Architectural Association Visiting School that took place in Beirut in Summer 2019. Both installations led to a series of interventions on the stretch between Gemmayzeh and Mar Mikhael, an area that has been witnessing gentrification in recent years. Both projects aim to trigger political engagement and raise public awareness in the face of the lack of public space, especially for the youth, in a city that is gradually moving towards a near total privatization of its public places. They emerged as a response to the sociopolitical strategies of depriving the citizens of their basic needs by privatizing what was once everyone’s. This article argues that urban interventions are an opportunity to address sociopolitical issues through spatial and temporal public installations. These installations, tailored to a human scale and anchored in the city as both art and architecture, reflect on the power of public interventions as urban catalytic tactics that engage with the people and challenge the blasé attitude of the citizens, pushing them to claim their rights to the city.

Cinema has taken up the role of a social agent that introduced a variety of images and events to the public during critical times. This paper proposes the idea of using films as a tool to reclaim public space where a sense of belonging and dialogue restore to a meaningful place. During the January 2011 protests in Egypt, Tahrir Cinema, an independent revolutionary project composed of filmmakers and other artists, offered a space in Downtown Cairo and screened archival footage of the ongoing events to the protestors igniting civic debate and discussions. The traditional public space has undergone what Karl Kropf refers to as the phylogenetic change, i.e. form and function that is agreed upon by society and represents a common conception of certain spatial elements. Hence, the framework that this research will follow is a two-layer discourse, the existence of cinema in public spaces, and the existence of public spaces in cinema. Eventually, the paper seeks to enhance the social relationship between society, spaces, and cinematic narration – a vital tool to raise awareness about the right to the city.

Resumen: Este trabajo hace parte de la investigación “Transformaciones urbanas en Bogotá: sentido e identidad en la década de 1990“que el autor adelanta en la UBA (Universidad de Buenos Aires) como soporte para la tesis con la que aspira al título de Magister en Urbanismo y aborda la temática de la ciudad educadora a través del espacio público y el valor pedagógico de las prácticas sociales. Este artículo muestra el ejercicio académico desarrollado con estudiantes y los elementos teóricos que sustentaron una investigación parcial sobre las representaciones de un grupo poblacional (estudiantes de arquitectura) sobre la capacidad educadora de la ciudad. Se plantea la revisión de conceptos en relación con los elementos urbanos, el uso y la significación de la ciudad, cuya articulación permitirá la construcción de nuevos imaginarios en los participantes de la práctica académica. Para tal fin se recogen los imaginarios que tienen los estudiantes universitarios de Bogotá a través de la elaboración de un taller teóricopráctico realizado en la Universidad Piloto de Colombia con alumnos de la carrera de arquitectura que cursan el X semestre. Es de destacar el valor de los relatos y de los gráficos como herramientas básicas, que muestran los lugares de los acontecimientos en la ciudad. El principal aporte del ejercicio didáctico, además de identificar significados formales y de uso de la urbe, consistió en proporcionar un instrumento que puede ayudar a la construcción del arraigo en la ciudad. Así, se intentan nuevas alternativas de análisis urbanos más cercanas a los afectos de los habitantes, a la cultura y a la narrativa del lugar. ___Palabras clave: ciudad, pedagogía, relato, espacio público. ___Abstract: This work is part of the research “Urban Transformations in Bogota: meaning and identity in the 1990s,” that the author advances in the UBA (University of Buenos Aires) as a support for the thesis with which he aspires to the title of Master of Urbanism and addresses the issue of educating city through public space and the educational value of social practices. This article shows the academic year developed by students and theoretical elements that supported a partial investigation of the representations of a population group (students of architecture) on the educational ability of the city. It is reviewing concepts regarding urban elements, the use and significance of the city, whose articulation allow the construction of a new imaginary in the participants in academic practice.

This research article focuses on the theme of violence and its representation by the characters of the novel “This Savage Song” by Victoria Schwab. How violence is transmitted through genes to next generations and to what extent socio- psycho factors are involved in it, has also been discussed. Similarly, in what manner violent events and deeds by the parents affect the psychology of children and how it inculcates aggressive behaviour in their minds has been studied. What role is played by the parents in grooming the personality of children and ultimately their decisions to choose the right or wrong way has been argued. In the light of the theory of Judith Harris, this research paper highlights all the phenomena involved: How the social hierarchy controls the behaviour. In addition, the aggressive approach of the people in their lives has been analyzed in the light of the study of second theorist Thomas W Blume. As the novel is a unique representation of supernatural characters, the monsters, which are the products of some cruel deeds, this research paper brings out different dimensions of human sufferings with respect to these supernatural beings. Moreover, the researcher also discusses that, in what manner the curse of violence creates an inevitable vicious cycle of cruel monsters that makes the life of the characters turbulent and miserable.

The article examines the main forms and methods of agitation and propagandistic activities of monarchic parties in Russia in the beginning of the 20th century. Among them the author singles out such ones as periodical press, publication of books, brochures and flyers, organization of manifestations, religious processions, public prayers and funeral services, sending deputations to the monarch, organization of public lectures and readings for the people, as well as various philanthropic events. Using various forms of propagandistic activities the monarchists aspired to embrace all social groups and classes of the population in order to organize all-class and all-estate political movement in support of the autocracy. While they gained certain success in promoting their ideology, the Rights, nevertheless, lost to their adversaries from the radical opposition camp, as the monarchists constrained by their conservative ideology, could not promise immediate social and political changes to the population, and that fact was excessively used by their opponents. Moreover, the ideological paradigm of the Right camp expressed in the “Orthodoxy, Autocracy, Nationality” formula no longer agreed with the social and economic realities of Russia due to modernization processes that were underway in the country from the middle of the 19th century.
