Political Battle

O artigo investiga a variedade de trajetos das manifestações percorridos por uma gama de atores coletivos presentes no ciclo de confrontos de 2013, apresentando os mecanismos responsáveis pela ocupação, concentração e dispersão de protestos no espaço urbano. Quais foram os obstáculos e constrangimentos para a execução dos trajetos de protesto em junho de 2013? Através da análise espacial dos protestos, foi possível elencar os mecanismos pelos quais os diferentes usos situacionais do espaço urbano produzem e disseminam os trajetos de protesto. O argumento principal é de que a dispersão dos trajetos no cenário urbano paulistano resultou de dois fatores: 1) a morfologia espacial da cidade; 2) as disputas entre atores políticos (polícia vs. manifestantes; e ativistas com diferentes agendas) pelo controle de espaços da cidade visando objetivos específicos.AbstractThe article explores the variety of paths taken by a range of collective actors in the 2013 cycle of confrontations, presenting the mechanisms responsible for the occupation, concentration and dispersion of protests in urban space. What were the obstacles and constraints to the execution of the protest routes in June 2013? Through the spatial analysis of the protests, it was possible to list the mechanisms by which the different situational uses of urban space produce and disseminate the protest routes. The main argument is that the dispersion of routes in the urban scenario of São Paulo resulted from two factors: 1) the spatial morphology of the city; 2) disputes between political actors (police vs. demonstrators; and activists with different agendas) for the control of city spaces aiming at specific objectives.

This article will unfold a longe durée spatial biography of the urban area of Bixiga (São Paulo, Brazil) to probe the particular role of space in the conflation of different cultural practices and territorial claims. The extended case study bridges indigenous, colonial, and postcolonial urbanization as they amalgamated an intricate assemblage of material and cultural strata. Combined historical urban analysis and fieldwork allow to uncover how the resulting urban milieu integrates discrepant urban worlds, perpetually iterating between centrality and marginality, innovation and degradation, oppression and resistance. Building on Foucault’s (1984) conception of heterotopia, Bixiga will surface as an allotopia, a place that accommodates, cumulates, and celebrates a multitude of differences. It sheds light, this way, on more insurgent histories of urbanism, where urban space is piecemeal forged through contentious struggles over space in the city.

Graffiti art and street art have been increasingly described as an artistic movement, with a constant presence in the streets, but also in galleries and museums. In this article we use the term urban art to define this institutionalized category, originating from informal street expressions. In the specific context of the city of São Paulo (Brazil), most of the social actors that make up this art world have backgrounds linked to graffiti and pixação. These two urban subcultures are linked to informal forms of appropriation of the urban space through illicit inscriptions. In this article, we aim, on the one hand, to describe the features and singularities of urban art as an emerging art world and, on the other, to understand how careers are developed in this universe. The empirical data derives from a qualitative research (in-depth interviews and ethnographic observation) developed during the past three years.

Este texto apresenta um panorama da presença das mulheres em seus espaços domésticos e sua interação com o espaço urbano de São Paulo em meados do século XX. Período que passaram a usufruir de maneira mais intensa da vida urbana, ampliaram sua formação educacional e entraram no mercado de trabalho. Nos anúncios e textos do período, a imagem da “mulher moderna” está vinculada a figura que circula livremente pela cidade, como também aquela que é responsável pela organização das atividades domésticas. Buscando discutir a dimensão e as contradições dessa representação foram utilizadas como fontes de uma pesquisa qualitativa histórica os anúncios de jornais e revistas, os desenhos e fotografias dos projetos de alguns edifícios e estudos sobre a presença feminina na metrópole.*This text presents an overview of the mid-class women’s presence in their domestic spaces and their interaction with the urban space in the middle of the 20th century in São Paulo. The period when they began to enjoy more intensely the urban life, expanded their education and entered the labor market. In the advertisements and texts of the period, the image of the “modern woman” is linked to a figure that circulates freely throughout the city, as well as that which is responsible for the organization of domestic activities. Looking to discuss the dimension and the contradictions of this representation were used as sources of qualitative historical research the advertisements of newspapers and magazines, drawings and photographs of the projects of some buildings and studies on the female presence in the metropolis.

O trabalho se inscreve no esforço por compreender a vida associativa como parte de um processo de singularização dos atores políticos. Parte-se da premissa de que esses atores têm a possibilidade de agenciar elementos do passado e do presente na constituição de um repertório político. O artigo está em diálogo com os trabalhos que estudam o militantismo, enfatizando os processos de socialização política, embora esteja operando na chave analítica da subjetivação política. A reflexão aqui apresentada está baseada no material de uma pesquisa etnográfica multissituada, realizada em associações de bairro das periferias da cidade de São Paulo durante três anos. A análise desse material permite afirmar que os jovens militantes selecionam, se apropriam ou rejeitam alguns elementos políticos do passado, difusos sobre o território a partir de sua própria experiência social no universo da política. Sem refutar ou se submeter inteiramente às heranças do passado, os jovens militantes recriam diferentes relações políticas e novas configurações sociais.</span></p><div><p class="trans-title">YOUTH AND ASSOCIATIVE LIFE FROM THE PERIPHERIES OF SÃO PAULO</p><p>The present article focuses on the processes of political experience of young militants from the outskirts of the city of São Paulo, Brazil.

Although this article holds discussions with other works which approach militancy emphasizing the processes of political socialization, its analysys is centered around analytical subjectivity. The reflections presented here have been based on a multi-sited ethnographic research conducted in residens’ Associations over the three years material.

The use of the bicycle in the city of São Paulo for purposes of mobility is not a new phenomenon, much less brought and/or based on existing infrastructure. Cyclists have faced the city streets for more than 10 years, and have had growing influence in the participation of public mobility policies concerning cycling. However, the inclusion of cycling as a key element in the design of municipal policies during the years 2012-2016 gave academic, social, economic and cultural visibility to the bicycle. This emergence gave way to a wave of new cyclists and affected the urban bike scene in the city. This research contemplated two objectives: the first one was to understand how the bicycle is used by the various social actors of the city, and its impact regarding lifestyles, sociabilities, appropriation of urban space, and the intrinsically corporal aspect that tangents the cycling experience. The second objective was the differentiated empirical construction of a contemporary research problem guided by the New Mobilities Paradigm and the Mobile Methods, supported by the recent field of knowledge of the Sociology of Mobility. Unlike the predominant discourse relatedto the bicycle, in which the "new" modal is associated with freedom, simplicity, economy, ease, and practicality, the results found point out that this is only one facet of the experience of cyclists in a city with a high index of inequality as São Paulo,circumscribed to a group of cyclists that circulate in certain social spaces. Making use of the concept of motility arising from a critical view based on the New Mobilities Paradigm, it is argued that although the bicycle has been associated in recent years with freedom and right to the city by its users, in many cases the city experience by cycling is aggressive, uncomfortable, dangerous and harmful to health. The bicycle is the only instrument through which an impoverished portion of the population, living in peripheral regions, is able to access work, leisure, goods, and services of the city. On the other hand, residents of central districts enjoy the largest percentage of existing bicycle infrastructure and use the bicycle as another mode of transportation in their range of options. The research also enabled some methodological innovations, in the form of a tool developed for data collection. Finally, when thinking about the planning of a public policy that concerns the Urban Mobility System, it is necessary to pinpoint the bicycle as one more device inserted within a collective transportation system that did not include the exponential growth of the city and its metropolitan region, making it disconnected, obsolete and at the margin of the daily needs ofits users. In order for the bicycle's benefits to impact the city's population on a large scale, it is essential that it be designed and planned as an element adding to the complex mobility network of São Paulo –amid transport rail systems, buses, private cars, and walk –, and not simply as a tool that serves this systems.

Background: In light of the few reports from intertropical latitudes and their conflicting results, we aimed to replicate and update the investigation of seasonal patterns of suicide occurrences in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: Data relating to male and female suicides were extracted from the Mortality Information Enhancement Program (PRO-AIM), the official health statistics of the municipality of São Paulo. Seasonality was assessed by studying distribution of suicides over time using cosinor analyses. Results: There were 6,916 registered suicides (76.7% men), with an average of 39.0 ± 7.0 observed suicides per month. For the total sample and for both sexes, cosinor analysis estimated a significant seasonal pattern. For the total sample and for males suicide peaked in November (late spring) with a trough in May–June (late autumn). For females, the estimated peak occurred in January, and the trough in June–July. Conclusions: A seasonal pattern of suicides was found for both males and females, peaking in spring/summer and dipping in fall/winter. The scarcity of reports from intertropical latitudes warrants promoting more studies in this area.
