CULTURAL AND IMAGINARY LANDSCAPES AS A SYMBOLIC RESOURCE OF SMALL CITY: a study on Triunfo, in the Pernambuco BacklandPAISAJES CULTURALES E IMAGINARIOS COMO RECURSO SIMBÓLICO DE CIUDAD PEQUEÑA: un estudio sobre Triunfo, en PernambucoRESUMONesta pesquisa desenvolve-se o argumento de que paisagens culturais e o imaginário constituem recursos simbólicos a serem considerados na inserção da cidade pequena nas distintas redes urbanas do país. Paisagens culturais (incluindo os biomas locais), na amplitude do imaginário local, podem constituir potenciais recursos simbólicos que singularizam a cidade em sua condição genérica. Metodologicamente, adota-se uma perspectiva qualitativa de estudo de caso sobre o município de Triunfo, no sertão do Pajeú, em Pernambuco, por meio da qual buscamos compreender em que medida o imaginário pode atuar de forma a potencializar as paisagens em seu potencial simbólico e socioeconômico. A partir do campo cultural, a pesquisa desenvolve-se em prática interdisciplinar, na interface com geografia cultural, comunicação e antropologia do imaginário, com pesquisa de campo com ênfase em registro fotográfico como elementos constituintes do imaginário estudado.Palavras-chave: Paisagens Culturais; Imaginário; Recurso Simbólico; Cidade Pequena; Triunfo-PE.ABSTRACTThis research develops the argument that cultural landscapes and the imaginary are symbolic resources to be considered in the insertion of the small city in the different urban networks of the country. Cultural landscapes (including local biomes), in the breadth of the local imagination, can constitute potential symbolic resources that make the city unique in its generic condition. Methodologically, a qualitative perspective is adopted, a case study about the municipality of Triunfo, in the Pajeú “sertão” (hinterland), in Pernambuco, through which we seek to understand to what extent the imaginary can act in order to potentiate the landscapes in their symbolic potential and socioeconomic. From the cultural field, the research develops in interdisciplinary practice, in the interface with cultural geography, communication and anthropology of the imaginary, in a qualitative approach, with field research and the with an emphasis on photographic record as constituent elements of the studied imaginary.Keywords: Cultural Landscapes; Imaginary; Symbolic Resource; Small City; Triunfo-PE.RESUMENEsta investigación desarrolla el argumento de que los paisajes culturales y lo imaginario son recursos simbólicos que considerar en la inserción de la pequeña ciudad en las diferentes redes urbanas del país.

<p>El propósito de este artículo es reflexionar críticamente en torno a la noción de paisaje y sus vinculaciones con modos -diferenciados y desiguales- de imaginar y habitar la ciudad. El análisis se sustenta en un estudio de caso en La Boca, un barrio de la zona sur de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires, donde confluyen procesos de reconversión urbana y déficit habitacional. Desde un abordaje etnográfico junto al uso de fuentes secundarias, el trabajo explora las principales características y transformaciones socioespaciales del barrio en relación con el resto de la ciudad. El artículo focaliza en prácticas de habitantes y usuarios, en diálogo con distintas aproximaciones al concepto de paisaje, y con estudios que destacan la relación entre una estetización de las ciudades contemporáneas y un modelo exclusivo de ciudad. Desde una perspectiva del habitar -centrada en las prácticas urbanas- el enfoque propuesto procura tomar en cuenta las tensiones e imbricaciones entre los paisajes urbanos cotidianos de sus habitantes y los paisajes culturales orientados a un consumo visual, incorporando en el análisis las relaciones desiguales de poder.</p><p><br /><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p><br />This article aims to critically reflect upon the notion of landscape and its links with -differentiated and unequal- ways of imagining and inhabiting the city. The analysis is based on a case study in La Boca, a neighborhood in the southern area of the city of Buenos Aires, where urban reconversion processes coexists with housing insufficiency. Through an ethnographic approach supplemented with secondary sources, the paper explores the main characteristics and socio-spatial transformations of the neighborhood in relation with the rest of the city. The article focuses in dwellers and passersby practices, in dialogue with different approaches to the concept of landscape, and with studies that emphasize the relation between the aestheticisation of the contemporary cities and an exclusive city model. From a dwelling perspective -centered in urban practices- the proposed approach seeks take into account the tensions and interweaving between the daily urban landscapes of La Boca’ s dwellers and the cultural landscapes oriented toward visual consumption, incorporating in the analysis the unequal power relations.</p>

Abstract Language relations as manifestations of the phenomenon of multilingualism are also expressed in the area of the so-called linguistic landscape. Undoubtedly, the linguistic landscape not only reflects the use of languages in public space but at the same time reveals the depth of public perception of different languages, depending on their function and prestige. In this paper, I will treat Albanian, English and Serbian rapports through their coverage in the Pristina linguistic landscape, focusing on the use of these languages in advertising space in the city of Prishtina and in other tables that perform semiotic functions of indexes in this city. Likewise, within the reflection of the status planning of languages in Prishtina linguistic landscape, the use of Serbian in the official tables will be treated. This case study will also reflect the features of language policy and the impact of the globalization phenomenon in different languages. The results presented in this paper will reflect on the field research within a certain time span. The research has shown that in the Pristina linguistic landscape, in addition to the Albanian language, English has a dense use, while the use of Serbian is mostly limited to official charts i.e. names of the streets of the city and is not found in private advertisements tables.

This paper is a case study of a small city undergoing a process of demographic and ethnic change in community, empowerment, and political participation. For the dominant ethnic group these changes are threatening, but resisting the Latino community that they fear tends to set in motion the very conditions that exacerbate the growing prevalence of poverty and the attendant problems of gangs, domestic violence, and school drop-out rates. For the Latino community the challenge to such resistance is through community organizing and bringing pressure upon the city for inclusion in the political structure to influence policy regarding these problems.

Abstract In this paper, we discuss the presence of community gardens in urban spaces and the types of activities performed there, using the city of Poznań as a case study. First, based on interviews with representatives of selected non-governmental organisations, analyses of available Internet sources as well as our own field research, cartographic and photographic documentation, we identify community gardens in the space of the city and explore their formation process. In the course of our study we also concentrate on the type of garden location. In addition, we devote our attention to the gardens which have disappeared from the fabric of the city. Our study reveals that community gardens currently operating in Poznań are established in non-central locations. These gardens are scattered in various parts of the city. Only in the Łazarz district there are two community gardens. Most frequently, community gardens are established on plots between old blocks of flats and tenement houses. Two gardens are located on underdeveloped greenery near the Warta River and in two city parks. A detailed examination of the events held in the community gardens in the Łazarz district in the years 2014–2017 shows that they had a very diversified character. Both of them turned out to be multifunctional, i.e. hosted meetings devoted to agriculture and horticulture, environmental education, artistic events, DIY and recreation. However, the percentage of events in the structure of the meetings organised in the gardens differed considerably.

This research aimed to identify water resources management strategies in extreme drought event scenarios in the municipality of Lucrécia, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN), in the period 2012 to 2018. As a methodological procedure, a bibliographical and documentary, in addition to field research, with interviews with municipal managers and residents. A photographic record of the study area was also carried out. It was found that, in the city, there is a folder dedicated to water resources that guides water management and is the basis for the adoption of measures aimed at municipal supply in times of difficult access to water, due to the reduction in water availability. It was observed that part of the interviewed population understands the drought as responsible for the difficulties faced in the city, mainly about the reduction of the water level in the reservoir. It was found that, of the 52 towns belonging to the hydrographic basin of the Apodi-Mossoró river, only 10 participate in the meetings of the basin committee, the municipality of Lucrécia does not have representatives on the Committee. This finding deserves special consideration since water and the administration of its multiple applications are generators of conflicts, it highlights the importance of understanding how municipalities in the Semiarid region carry out the management of water resources and how they understand the challenges of coexistence with its area, aiming at the sustainable use of water.

The methodology of geological mapping in urban areas differs from the ordinary field research. An urban area has no outcrops, has a smooth surface, diverted water lines and covered geology. The data types commonly collected in urban areas are from few outcrops (if there are some), borehole records, geophysical prospecting data, geological maps, digital elevation models (DEM), shallow excavations, palaeoseismological trenches and publication archives. This research at subsurface of the city produces new thematic maps for the initial surface under the building area, the water network, the geology and finally the fault system. This paper demonstrates a methodology and provides a way to solve engineering geology problems in urban areas.

Abstract: This article examines efforts to preserve local culture by women in the city of Cilegon. The existence of the bendrong lesung art will be the object of research because the role of women looks so important in this art performance. Women with their bendrong lesung represent the values of strong religiosity. This article is the result of field research using a case study method with a feminist anthropological approach. The researchers used some data collection techniques such as observation, in-depth interviews and documentation. Bendrong lesung is one of the traditional arts performed by the people of the City of Cilegon, Banten. Historically, this art performance was held in a community tradition in welcoming the harvest as a form of gratitude and happy expression for the efforts that have produced good results. Bendrong lesung as a cultural product represents the social piety identity of women. On its development, women as the main actors have a high awareness of diversity. Thus, beside the identity of social piety that was born in the existence of this bendrong lesung, personal piety identity was also manifested by the players with symbols in the form of the use of the veil covering the genitals to replace the clothes kemban. The existence of the bendrong lesung has witnessed how the piety movement was formed until now.الخلاصة: تتناول هذه المقالة الجهود المبذولة للحفاظ على الثقافة المحلية من قبل النساء في مدينة سيليجون. إن وجود فن الالتواء هو موضوع البحث لأنه في هذا الفن دور المرأة يبدو مهمًا جدًا. تمثل النساء مع غمازاتهن قيم التدين الكثيف. هذه المقالة هي نتيجة البحث الميداني باستخدام طريقة دراسة حالة مع نهج أنثروبولوجي نسوي. في تقنيات جمع البيانات ، يستخدم الباحثون تقنيات تشمل الملاحظة والمقابلات المتعمقة (المقابلات المتعمقة) والتوثيق. Bendrong lesung هي واحدة من الفنون التقليدية لشعب مدينة Cilegon   Banten. تاريخيا ، أدرج هذا الفن في تقاليد المجتمع في الترحيب بالحصاد كشكل من الامتنان والتعبير السعيد عن الجهود التي أسفرت عن نتائج جيدة. تمثل bendrong lesung كمنتج ثقافي هوية التقوى الاجتماعية للمرأة. لدى تطورها ، تتمتع النساء بصفتهن الجهات الفاعلة الرئيسية بوعي عال بالتنوع. لذلك ، بالإضافة إلى هوية التقوى الاجتماعية التي ولدت في وجود هذا الانحناء ، ظهرت هوية التقوى الشخصية من قبل اللاعبين برموز في شكل استخدام الحجاب الذي يغطي الأعضاء التناسلية لاستبدال الملابس التوأم. شهد وجود مدافع الهاون كيف تشكلت حركة التقوى حتى الآن.Abstrak: Artikel ini mengkaji tentang upaya pelestarian kebudayaan lokal yang dilakukan oleh kaum perempuan di Kota Cilegon. Eksistensi kesenian bendrong lesung akan menjadi objek penelitian karena dalam kesenian ini peran perempuan terlihat begitu penting. Kaum perempuan dengan bendrong lesung-nya merepresentasikan nilai-nilai religiusitas yang kental. Artikel ini merupakan hasil penelitian lapangan menggunakan metode studi kasus dengan pendekatan antropologi feminis. Dalam teknik pengumpulan data, peneliti menggunakan teknik-teknik diantaranya observasi, wawancara mendalam (indepth interview) dan dokumentasi. Bendrong lesung merupakan salah satu kesenian tradisional masyarakat Kota Cilegon, Banten. Secara historis, kesenian ini termasuk dalam sebuah tradisi masyarakat dalam menyambut panen sebagai wujud rasa syukur dan ungkapan bahagia atas jerih payah yang telah membuahkan hasil yang baik.  Bendrong lesung sebagai sebuah produk kebudayaan merepresentasikan identitas kesalehan sosial kaum perempuan. Dalam perkembangannya, para perempuan sebagai pelaku utama mempunyai kesadaran akan keberagamaan yang cukup tinggi. Maka, selain identitas kesalehan sosial yang terlahir dalam eksistensi bendrong lesung ini, identitas kesalehan personal juga terwujud dari para pemainnya dengan simbol berupa penggunaan jilbab penutup aurat menggantikan pakaian kemban. Eksistensi bendrong lesung telah menjadi saksi bagaimana gerakan kesalehan terbentuk sampai sekarang.
