ABSTRACT In this article we analyze the determinants of confidence in the Police Pacification Units ( Unidades de Polícia Pacificadora – UPPs). During their existence (2008-2018), “pacification” was represented by the media as an institutional hybrid which moved between two extremes. The police were either presented as heroes, whom people wanted to guarantee the end of shootings and ensure security in areas previously marked by violence, or as villains, rejected because of the lethality of their actions and the arbitrariness of how they dealt with people. Taking these representations as ideal types, we sought to identify the determinants of confidence in the police, with the counterpoint being a domiciliary survey carried out between 2014 and 2016 with 2000 residents distributed among twenty “pacified” favelas in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The results indicated that the respondents had ambiguous sentiments towards the UPP police, mediated by the perception that shootings were part of daily life in these communities and that the “pacification” had improved security, making the police neither heroes nor villains.

This article presents the results of a Project process held in the under-spaces of two viaducts in the Laranjeiras district in the city of Rio de Janeiro. This process is part of a community-university partnership project, the “Square, the Street and the District”, which has been developed by students and professors of different fields and courses. This project aims to emphasize the relevance of interventions in the cities are made by a direct mode of popular participation, both in the elaboration and in the implementation of landscape architecture and urban proposals. A collaborative process was shaped to embody the notion that there is a “local knowledge, which is nurtured by the daily life”, as Milton Santos (1997, p.7) argues. Here, we narrate the methodological construction and the process of design experience in this case at the Laranjeiras.district. With this, we expect to demonstrate how the design and building of the city can be developed thorough participative and collaborative processes. The existence of an assembled and well informed project can be an environment to foster discussion so that more just and appropriate solutions may get forge.

The research was guided by the purpose of identifying how, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the lack of public security policies affect the private security sector. The referential theoretical framework embraced the themes of social and economic contextualization of private security, the institutionalization of private security and the problem of public security in the city of Rio de Janeiro. The empirical stage of the study included semi-structured interviews with key informants, three of whom were directors of different medium-sized companies in the private security sector located in the municipality, a high-ranking officer of the Military Police of Rio de Janeiro, and the president of a private organization which provides training services to civilians, military and police forces. The results confirms contradictory aspects of integration and imbalance between the private security sector and the public power, as well as raises unique issues, such as the causal relation between the media role in violence and the growth of the sector, and the antinomy between the amplification of the ostensible presence of the police force on the streets and the increase of the sense of insecurity that causes the growth of the demand for private security.

Introdução: Há distintas perspectivas sobre a infância. Assim, é necessário alargar os conhecimentos em Terapia Ocupacional a respeito dos cotidianos de crianças (Erês), sobretudo as de terreiro, que imprimem formas de envolvimento sagrado, baseado nas ocupações tradicionais, onde o dentro e o fora do terreiro possuem limites muito tênues. Objetivo: Compreender o envolvimento em ocupações tradicionais e os sentidos e implicações que estas exercem na vida cotidiana mais ampla de crianças de terreiro. Método: Foram conduzidas atividades dialogadas, durante o desenvolvimento de uma pesquisa qualitativa e exploratória em Terapia Ocupacional, com abordagem da pesquisa-participante, junto a sete crianças de um terreiro de candomblé na cidade de São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, entre outubro e novembro de 2016. Resultados: Foram produzidas atividades dialogadas, que facilitaram a produção de narrativas das crianças, sobre o cotidiano de terreiro. Um mural serviu de síntese das narrativas e identificação de quatro temas, que oportunizaram a discussão sobre ocupações tradicionais na infância, a saber: 1) Minha vida no terreiro; 2) Ser criança no terreiro; 3) Ser criança de terreiro fora do terreiro; e 4) O projeto Erê Yá L’omi. Discussão: Os temas destacam os sentidos de pertencimento, a construção identitária e as formas de lidar com as violências da intolerância religiosa na vida social mais ampla. Considerações finais: A tradição e a ancestralidade constituem elementos fundamentais do envolvimento ocupacional de crianças e jovens de terreiro. Este envolvimento se refere a uma tessitura intergeracional, pois estão intimamente coligadas à (re)existência e às funções e aprendizagens no terreiro.Palavras-chave: Ocupações tradicionais. Infância. Povos de terreiro. Comunidades. Terapia Ocupacional.Abstract Introduction: There are different perspectives on childhood. Thus, it is necessary to expand the knowledge in Occupational Therapy regarding the daily lives of children (Erês), especially those in the terreiro, which print forms of sacred involvement, based on traditional occupations, where the inside and outside of the terreiro have very tenuous limits. Aim: To understand the involvement in traditional occupations and the meanings and implications that these have in the wider daily life of children in the terreiro. Method: Dialogue activities were conducted during the development of a qualitative and exploratory research in Occupational Therapy, with a participant-research approach, with seven children from a candomblé terreiro in the city of São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, between October and November 2016. Results: Graphic activities were produced that composed the children's narratives about the daily life of the terreiro. A mural served as a synthesis of the narratives and identification of four themes that made it possible to discuss traditional occupations in childhood, namely: 1) My life in the terreiro; 2) Being a child in the terreiro; 3) Being a child in a terreiro outside the terreiro; and 4) The Erê Yá L’omi project. Discussion: The themes highlight the senses of belonging, the identity construction and the ways of dealing with the violence of religious intolerance in the broader social life. Final considerations: Tradition and ancestry are fundamental elements of the occupational involvement of children and young people from the terreiro. This involvement refers to an intergenerational fabric, as they are closely linked to (re) existence and to the functions and learning in the terreiro.Keywords: Traditional occupations. Childhood. Terreiro’s folk. Communities. Occupational Therapy.ResumenIntroducción: Existen diferentes perspectivas sobre la infancia.

The chapter studies two photographic projects organized by groups of favela photojournalists in Rio de Janeiro. Moro na Favela (I Live in a Favela) was an itinerant exhibit that was displayed in various communities and cultural centers from 2006 to 2008, and Imagens do Povo (Images of the People), a book published in 2012, contains 102 photographs taken by 25 community photographers. The chapter examines the ways in which the photographs propose an alternative aesthetic of representation, challenging a regime of seeing through which the city has traditionally sought to recognize itself. It illustrates how the two photographic projects expose aspects that are part of the realm of daily life that are traditionally over/mislooked. The chapter also addresses briefly the spaces of circulation of the two cultural productions.

Resumo: O trabalho fala dos cotidianos de pessoas que passam pelo rótulo morador de rua. Por meio de uma etnografia numa praia do Rio de Janeiro, descrevo alguns espaços de convívio e, a partir dos mesmos, me inspiro a pensar alguns elementos daquela realidade, levando em conta a imensa complexidade que os movimentos da rua impõem à qualquer proposta reflexiva. Além disso, desenvolvo minha relação com campo em meio ao fazer musical. Explorando, assim, o conteúdo das músicas cantadas em campo e os exercícios coletivos de cantá-las. Isto permitiu dar importância ao movimento, que é um aspecto chave nestas reflexões. Por meio da categoria Exu – desenvolvida em religiões afro-brasileiras –, e alguns autores do interacionismo simbólico, entendo o morador de rua enquanto uma dimensão relacional. A partir daí é possível refletir sobre as condições na rua, a produção de conhecimentos derivados delas e a importância disso no exercício de recriação da cidade do Rio de Janeiro e seus espaços públicos. Palavras chave: morador de rua. Exu. morte. cotidiano. música   PRAIA DA AMENDOEIRA:STREET LIFE ON A CARIOCA BEACH  Abstract: The work talks about the daily lives of people who pass under the label homeless. Through an ethnography on a beach in Rio de Janeiro, I describe some living spaces and, from them, I get inspired to think about some elements of that reality, taking into account the immense complexity that street movements impose on any reflective proposal. In addition, I develop my relationship with the field in the middle of making music. Thus exploring the content of the songs sung in the field and the collective exercises of singing them. This allowed to give importance to the movement, which is a key aspect in these reflections. Through the category Exu - developed in Afro-Brazilian religions - and some authors of symbolic interactionism, I understand the homeless person as a relational dimension. From there, it is possible to reflect on the conditions on the street, the production of knowledge derived from them and the importance of this in the exercise of recreating the city of Rio de Janeiro and its public spaces.Keywords: homeless.

The early years of state television in Italy, which began transmission in 1954, have usually been viewed as crucial to the spread of mass culture through Italian society. In addition, these developments have essentially been seen in negative terms by historians and sociologists. This article explores these early years in detail for one, key, urban setting: Milan. Through an examination of the myriad and often hidden effects of television, the research attempts to draw out the contradictory and complicated impact of TV and its relationship with other media, the neighbourhood, the family, the home and daily life. The article also looks at the impact of one important quiz show in the 1950s and concludes with some reflections on the power of the media in the city in the 1990s.

A compreensão do contexto no qual se realizam práticas profissionais é essencial para o trabalho do terapeuta ocupacional. Assim, buscando compreender o território e o público com o qual atua, o projeto de extensão “Juventude(s): intervenções de arte-cultura no território”, do Departamento de Terapia Ocupacional da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, apresenta-se uma revisão integrativa da literatura com o objetivo de apreender as produções bibliográficas acumuladas voltadas especificamente sobre a juventude moradora do Complexo do Alemão, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Foram realizadas buscas na Web of Science, SocIndex, Scopus, Scielo e no Portal de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES, em setembro de 2017, com a combinação de descritores “Complexo do Alemão” AND “young" OR “youth”. Após a aplicação de critérios de inclusão, foram estudadas 11 publicações divididas em categorias temáticas de discussão, a saber: (1) Representação do Complexo do Alemão pela mídia; (2) As questões do território influenciando a prática de diferentes profissionais e (3) As representações dos jovens moradores do Complexo do Alemão sobre as UPPs (Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora). Conclui-se que os textos demonstram aspectos já conhecidos acerca do cotidiano dos jovens moradores de favelas, como a influência da violência e dos estigmas relacionados àquele território. Contudo, existem outras questões importantes a serem abordadas em futuras práticas e pesquisas naquele contexto, como cultura, educação, relações sociais e territoriais, mobilidade urbana, participação política, dentre muitas outras abordagens da juventude contemporânea do Complexo do Alemão.AbstractUnderstanding the context in which professional practices are performed is essential to the work of the occupational therapist. Thus, seeking to understand the territory and the public with which it operates the extension project "Youth(s): interventions of art-culture in the territory" of the Department of Occupational Therapy of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, an integrative review is presented of the literature with the objective of apprehending the accumulated bibliographic productions focused specifically on the resident youth of Complexo do Alemão, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. We searched the Web of Science, SocIndex, Scopus, Scielo and the CAPES Thesis and Dissertations Portal in September 2017 with the combination of descriptors "Complexo do Alemão" AND "young" OR "youth". After the application of inclusion criteria, we studied 11 publications divided into thematic categories of discussion:  (1) Representation of the Complexo do Alemão by the media, (2) Territorial issues influencing the practice of different professionals, and (3) Representations of the young people living in the Complexo do Alemão on the UPPs (Pacifying Police Unit). The texts show that there are aspects already known about the daily lives of young people living in favelas, such as the influence of violence and stigmas related to that territory. Other important issues to be addressed in future practices and research in that context, such as culture, education, social and territorial relations, urban mobility, political participation, among many other approaches of the contemporary youth of Complexo do Alemão.Key words: Complexo do Alemão; Every-day life; Favela; Territory; Youth.ResumenLa comprensión del contexto en el que se realizan prácticas profesionales es esencial para el trabajo del terapeuta ocupacional.
