Building on more than ten years of ethnographic research in post-war Bosnia-Herzegovina, this article documents discourses and practices of civility as mutuality with limits. This mode of civility operates to regulate the field of socio-political inclusion in Bosnia-Herzegovina; it stretches to include self-described “urbanites” while, at the same time, it excludes “rural others” and “rural others within.” In order to illustrate the workings of civility as mutuality with limits, the focus is on interconnections and messy relationships between different aspects of civility: moral, political/civil, and socio-cultural. Furthermore, by using ethnography in the manner of theory, three assumptions present in theories of civility are challenged. First, there is an overwhelming association of civility with bourgeois urban space where civility is located in the city. However, the focus here is on how civility works in the context of Balkan and Bosnian semi-periphery, suspended between urbanity and rurality. Second, much literature on civility implies that people enter public spaces in ways that are unmarked. As is shown here, however, people’s bodies always carry traces of histories of inequality. Third, scholarship on civility mainly takes the materiality of urban space for granted. By paying careful attention to what crumbling urban space looks and feels like, it is demonstrated how civility is often entangled with, experienced through and articulated via material things, such as ruins. These converging, historically shaped logics, geographies and materialities of (in)civility illustrate how civility works as an “incomplete horizon” of political entanglement, recognition and mutuality, thus producing layers of distinction and hierarchies of value, which place a limit on the prospects of democratic politics in Bosnia-Herzegovina and beyond.

Abstract This contribution elaborates upon the appropriation of urban space in spatiotemporal and procedural interventions in the example of the city of Kharkiv, as well as the impact of urban space on the process of how various groups rediscover and use various parts of the city. Being moved during collective actions - in the sense of feeling urged to move along - goes beyond routine practices by influencing the city and its perception. It seems that these general processions, celebrations, and festive activities of the residents are their contributions to the process of »urban renaissance« - the rebirth of interest in the urban way of life. Since public spaces reflect the historical inheritance of local communities, joint transformative actions such as, »appropriation «, »production«, and »governance« of urban spaces are considered. This article advocates for the practice of domestication of urban space by the local community, as well as the need for the existence of »urban lagoons« - free (unregulated) areas of the city used as resources for urban development and interaction of citizens.

In the crowded cities of the present age, public spaces can provide a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of the city that citizens can interact with by incorporating utility features and meeting human needs and Relax there. Small urban spaces are among the most important and effective urban spaces to achieve this goal. Because these spaces due to their small size and lower costs (compared to larger spaces) for construction can be created in large numbers and distributed throughout the city. In this way, citizens will be able to reach a public urban space on foot in a short time. If these spaces are well designed, they can encourage people to stay in and interact with each other. It is not difficult to identify and experience high-quality successful places, but identifying the reasons for their success is difficult and even more difficult, understanding if similar spaces in other places can be considered successful. This question is important because public space with deep social content is considered a cultural product. Public space is the product of the historical and socio-cultural forces of society. Therefore, one of the most important issues that should be considered in the study of public spaces and the reasons for their success is the cultural context. In Iranian cities that have been influenced by the values and principles of Islam,recognizing Islamic principles and their role in shaping public spaces can lead us to desirable results. The purpose of this article is to develop a conceptual model of successful small urban spaces with an emphasis on cultural issues, especially in Iranian-Islamic cities. In this regard, the effective criteria for the success of urban spaces in general and small urban spaces in particular in the two categories of Western countries and Iranian Islamic cities were examined and then, taking into account the criteria derived from cultural theorists, the conceptual model of research with 38 subcriteria is provided.

City, is consisting of a series continuous or intermittent public space images, and every image for each of our people living in the city is varied: may be as awesome as forbidden city Meridian Gate, like Piazza San Marco as a cordial and pleasant space and might also be like Manhattan district of New York, which makes people excited and enthusiastic. To see why, people have different feelings because the public urban space ultimately belongs to democratic public space, people live and have emotions in it. In such domain, people can not only be liberated, free to enjoy the pleasures of urban public space, but also enjoy urban life which is brought by the city's charm through highlighting the vitality of the city with humanism atmosphere. To a conclusion, no matter how ordinary the city is, a good image of urban space can also bring people pleasure.

What happens to urban space given a hypothetical future where all information loses its body, that is, when it is offloaded from the material substrate of the physical city1 to the personal, portable, or ambient displays of tomorrow’s urban information systems? This chapter explores the spatial, technological and social implications of an extreme urban informatics regime. It investigates the total virtualization of the marks, signage, signaling and display systems by which we locate, orient ourselves, and navigate through the city. Taking as a vehicle a series of digitally manipulated photographs of specific locations in New York, this study analyzes the environmental impact of a pervasive evacuation of information–at various sites and scales–from the sidewalks, buildings, streets, intersections, infrastructures and public spaces of a fictional future De-saturated City.

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a relação entre a reestruturação urbano-industrial e os conflitos na conservação do patrimônio industrial de Campinas. A análise privilegia o final dos anos 1970 até 2014, anos de intensificação dos processos destacados. Nossa pesquisa teve como procedimentos metodológicos: revisão bibliográfica, trabalhos de campo, entrevistas, pesquisa documental, produção cartográfica. O estudo mostra que, em Campinas, o elevado número de tombamentos associados à dimensão cotidiana do trabalho indica uma tendência política de preservação da memória trabalhadora, ferroviária e industrial. Entretanto, muitos dos tombamentos contribuíram contraditoriamente para a deterioração de exemplares do patrimônio industrial da cidade. Nesse sentido, os projetos e as ações impelidas pelos agentes produtores do espaço urbano de Campinas – o poder público municipal, os empresários, os moradores (antigos e novos), as instituições e os grupos políticos de defesa do patrimônio – evidenciam os conflitos pelos usos, funções e apropriação material e simbólica da cidade.  Palavras-chave: reestruturação urbano-industrial; patrimônio cultural; produção do espaço urbano. PRESERVE FOR WHOM? THE CONTRADICTIONS IN THE PRESERVATION OF THE URBAN-INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE IN CAMPINAS (SP) Abstract: The purpose of this article is to analyze the relationship between urban-industrial restructuring and conflicts in the conservation of the industrial heritage of Campinas. The analysis privileges the late 1970s to 2014, years in which the highlighted processes were intensified. As methodological procedures, our research had: bibliographic review, fieldwork, interviews, documentary research, cartographic production. The study shows that, in Campinas, the high number of legally protected buildings associated with the daily dimension of work indicates a political tendency to preserve working, railway and industrial memory. However, many rules contradictorily contributed to the deterioration of specimens of the city's industrial heritage. In this sense, the projects and actions driven by the producing agents of the urban space of Campinas – the municipal public power, the businessmen, the residents (old and new), the institutions and the political groups for the defense of the heritage – evidence the conflicts over the uses, functions and the material and symbolic appropriation of the city.

RESUMEN: Este artículo propone indagar las maneras en que la televisión representa el pasado reciente de la Argentina, a través de tres articulaciones específicas entre TV y memoria social. Se sugieren tres abordajes, distintos en términos analíticos, para la investigación. Estos abordajes permiten enfocar el rol de este medio en la configuración de agendas públicas (o sea, se aborda a la televisión como emprendedora de la memoria), su efectividad como soporte para difundir acontecimientos del pasado entre las nuevas generaciones (es decir, como vehículo de transmisión intergeneracional), o su rol como constructor de sentidos a través de imágenes, sonidos y palabras (es decir, la televisión se aborda como escenario de la memoria). Todos estos roles coexisten y se articulan, aunque también entran en tensión. El artículo se centra particularmente en la experiencia del terrorismo de Estado en Argentina, en el marco de la dictadura militar de 1976-1983, y en las memorias construidas en torno a la desaparición forzada de personas. El análisis de los vínculos entre TV y memoria permite pensar de qué modos los obstáculos para narrar una experiencia límite se combinan, de maneras complejas  y no fácilmente inteligibles, con la intención de vender un producto y de entretener al espectador. PALABRAS CLAVE: Televisión, memoria, imagen, dictadura, represiónAUTOR: Claudia FELD INSTITUCIÓN: CONICET – IDES RESUMEN EN INGLÉS TITLE: Television as regards the recent past. How to study the link between TV and social memory.ABSTRACT:This article aims to examine the ways in which television represents Argentina’s recent past, through three specific links between TV and social memory. Three approaches for research are proposed, which are different in analytical terms. These approaches allow us to focus on the role this medium plays in configuring public agendas (that is, television is approached as an entrepreneur of memory); its effectiveness as a medium which communicates past events to new generations (i.e., as a vehicle of transmission among generations); or its role as a constructor of meanings through images, sounds, and words (that is to say, television is approached as a stage for memory). All of these roles co-exist and are intertwined, but there  is also tension among them. This article especially focuses on the experience of state terrorism in Argentina, in the framework of the military dictatorship in 1976-1983, as well as on the constructed memories about the disappearance of persons. The analysis of the links between TV and memory allows us to think how the obstacles to narrate an extreme experience are combined, in complex and not easily intelligible ways, with the sale of a product and entertainment.KEYWORDS: Television, memory, image, dictatorship, repression

Resumo As áreas verdes públicas urbanas são espaços bem arborizados e representam ícones de bem-estar e de qualidade ambiental do meio citadino, devido aos diversos benefícios gerados pela vegetação, além proporcionarem dinamicidade e beleza ao espaço urbano.  As áreas verdes públicas (AVPs) também correspondem a espaços livres, de usos sociais acessíveis a toda população e lugar de lazer. Assim, a presente pesquisa teve por objetivo analisar o adensamento urbano em que áreas verdes públicas da cidade de Garanhuns-PE estão inseridas, bem como, quais são os usos sociais desenvolvidos nas áreas estudadas. Para tal, a pesquisa é baseada na análise sistêmica da paisagem com suporte de trabalho de campo e de sistemas de informações geográficas (SIG) para a confecção de mapeamentos. Como principais resultados, observou-se que o adensamento urbano se refere as áreas de caráter comercial e residencial com pouca verticalização. Já os seus usos são diversificados quando a AVP dispõem de algum tipo de equipamento de uso social, sendo os parques urbanos os espaços com melhores condições de usos. Palavras-chave: Lazer. Espaços Livres. Fitogeografia. Paisagem.   Abstract Public urban green areas are well-wooded spaces and represent icons of well-being and environmental quality of the city environment, due to the diverse benefits generated by the vegetation, while also providing dynamicity and beauty to the urban space. Public green areas (PGAs) also correspond to free spaces, aimed at accessible social uses by the entire population, as well as leisure places. Thus, the present research had as aim the analysis of the urban density in which public green areas of the city of Garanhuns-PE are inserted, as well as what social uses are developed in the studied areas. To this end, this research is based on the systemic analysis of the landscape with the support of fieldwork and geographic information systems (GIS) for mapping creation. The main results indicate that the urban densification refers to areas of commercial and residential character, with little verticalization. Their uses become diversified when the PGA has some kind of equipment destined for social use, with urban parks being the spaces presenting the best conditions of use. Keywords: Recreation. Free spaces. Phytogeography. Landscape.   Resumen Las áreas verdes públicas urbanas son espacios muy arbolados y representan íconos de bienestar y de calidad ambiental de la ciudad, debido a los diversos beneficios generados por la vegetación, además de proporcionar dinámica y belleza al espacio urbano.  Las áreas verdes públicas (AVPs) también corresponden a espacios libres, de usos sociales accesibles a toda la población y lugar de esparcimiento.

Biały Bór is located in the former German territories that came to Poland after the Second World War. The almost complete replacement of the indigenous German and Jewish populations, initially by Polish and soon Ukrainian communities, was the result of the displacement of state borders by the eviction and relocation of millions of people. To do this, the authorities used certain strategies, which brought different approaches and constraints to local communities and urban spaces. The article considers the differences between the declared principles and the actual actions of the authorities in the context of “small stories” of all actors (national communities), as well as the tactics of indirect resistance of the local community to government pressure. Due to the remoteness of the place from the state center and due to its unanimity, the local community becomes the driving force of the spatial development of the city. And since the city is multicultural, the development of public spaces is influenced by the competitiveness (not confrontation) of two local communities. Therefore, the creation of public spaces is considered in the context of the rights of different groups to the city. This paper argues the conditions under which it is the collective actions of local communities that determine the change in the configuration of urban space.
