A obra Atos de André, produzida provavelmente no século II EC, apresenta uma série de eventos e situações domésticas que supostamente ocorreram durante o ministério do apóstolo André na cidade de Patras. O presente artigo analisa de que forma esse livro nos revela aspectos importantes da cultura popular da Roma antiga, especialmente da época de sua produção. Observa-se como o grupo subalterno responsável pela obra de nuances encratitas busca redefinir e inverter certos conceitos estabelecidos pela elite da sociedade romana. Um desses conceitos se relaciona com a ideia de família, vista em Atos de André não como uma relação marcada por laços de sangue, mas por pessoas que fazem parte do mesmo grupo religioso identificado com um líder específico, neste caso o suposto apóstolo André. A natureza do casamento também é redefinida, não mais como algo bom, exaltado por filósofos e líderes políticos de Roma, mas como uma relação maligna que mancha a dignidade do indivíduo. As relações entre senhores e escravos variavam, desde um profundo afeto entre ambos até ações caprichosas e violentas de senhores contra seus servos, que poderiam culminar na morte destes. Por fim, a obra revela um enredo bem construído com jogos de palavras e diversos temas e alusões bíblicos.The work Acts of Andrew, probably produced in the second century EC, presents a series of events and domestic situations that supposedly occurred during the ministry of the apostle Andrew in the city of Patras. This article analyzes how this book reveals important aspects of popular culture in ancient Rome, especially at the time of its production. It is observed how the subaltern group responsible for the work with encratites nuances seeks to redefine and reverse certain concepts established by the Roman elite. One of these concepts relates to the idea of family, seen in the Acts of Andrew not as a relationship marked by blood ties, but by people who are part of the same religious group identified with a specific leader, in this case the alleged apostle Andrew. The nature of marriage is also redefined, no longer as something good, exalted by philosophers and political leaders of Rome, but as an evil relation that blemish the dignity of the individual. Relations between masters and slaves varied from a deep affection between the two to arbitrary and violent actions of masters against their servants, which could culminate in their death. Finally, the work reveals a well-constructed storyline with puns and various biblical themes and allusions.

This paper offers a close analysis of the usage of the term circulus to refer to groups of Romans gathered together for various reasons. I identify such groupings as primarily non-elite in character and suggest that examination of their representation in our sources offers insight into popular sociability and communication at Rome. While circuli and the related figure of the circulator are often associated with what is considered to be a debased popular culture, they can also be seen as part of a more general culture of popular sociability which is politically threatening to a Roman governing class that desired to monopolize and control speech and communication and in whose interest it was to channel popular political participation into the official political institutions of the city. This paper also looks at some of the strategies developed by Roman elites to maintain, in response to such unauthorized activity, their moral, intellectual, and political hegemony over the rest of the population.

El viaje en el año 1963 de Fernando Higueras y César Manrique a la isla de Lanzarote reafirmó en ambos su interés por la integración entre paisaje y arquitectura. Esta visión de la arquitectura desde el territorio fue alentada por la vivencia de la isla en la que paisaje, agricultura y arquitectura popular convivían en armonía. Los proyectos que en este viaje pergeñaron desarrollaron la estrategia de la cohesión propia de la cultura popular. El Plan Parcial de Urbanización de Lanzarote incluía tanto el Proyecto de Urbanización de Playa Blanca como el Proyecto de la Ciudad de las Gaviotas en el Risco de Famara y el Proyecto de Urbanización en el Playa de Montana Bermeja. Todos ellos podrían entenderse, en términos artísticos, como el trabajo de una materia de una intensidad concreta en la inmensidad del paisaje. Como resultado, estas actuaciones deben considerarse como un trabajo precursor, que se adelantó a lo que, pocos años más tarde, otros autores, como Robert Smithson o Christo, denominarían Land-Art. La reintegración de las artes a escala territorial no hacía otra cosa que valorar los paisajes características de la geografía habitada. PALABRAS CLAVE: Cohesión. Reintegración de las artes. Territorio. Land-Art. Paisaje. The trip in 1963 of Fernando Higueras and César Manrique to the island of Lanzarote reaffirmed in both their interest in the integration between landscape and architecture. This vision of the architecture from the territory was encouraged by the experience of the island in which landscape, agriculture and popular architecture coexisted in harmony. The projects that in this trip conceived developed the strategy of the cohesion proper to popular culture. The Partial Urbanization Plan of Lanzarote included both the Playa Blanca Urbanization Project as well as the Project of the City of the Gulls at the Famara Risk and the Urbanization Project at the Bermeja Beach. All of them could be understood, in artistic terms, as the work of a matter of a concrete intensity in the immensity of the landscape. As a result, these actions should be considered as pioneering work, which was ahead of what, a few years later, other authors, such as Robert Smithson or Christo, would call Land-Art. The reintegration of the arts on a territorial scale did nothing more than assess the landscapes characteristic of the inhabited geography. KEYWORDS: Cohesion. Reintegration of the arts. Territory.

O carnaval da cidade de Salvador, importante metrópole brasileira, sempre foi uma das mais expressivas festas de rua do País e pesquisá-lo é algo necessário, pelo fato de este conter muitas das dinâmicas socioespaciais do lugar. Este artigo faz um breve histórico, desde o surgimento da festa até o momento atual, e se detém no período da profissionalização, iniciado na década de 1990, que transforma a festa em uma atividade econômica, fonte de grandes lucros para o segmento de artistas e produtores culturais que fizeram sucesso nacional com o ritmo denominado axé music, integrado à cultura de massas. Tal período foi marcado por uma grande projeção da festa no cenário nacional, mas hegemonizado por um segmento, o bloco de trio comandado por estrelas musicais. Esse modelo, por ser produtor de muitas desigualdades, também produziu muitos conflitos, sobretudo no choque da cultura de massas com a cultura popular, e, atualmente, vive uma crise, que é derivada dos acúmulos dessas exclusões e desigualdades. Existem alguns cenários para o futuro, mas ainda não existem tendências consolidadas. Abstract SALVADOR`S CARNIVAL: THE DECLINE OF MERCANTILE PARTY The carnival in the city of Salvador, important Brazilian city, has always been one of the most expressive public celebrations in this country and is necessary to research it, because this manifestation contains many socio spatial dynamics of the place. This paper draws a brief historical, since the beggining of the party to this days, and concentrates in the professionalization period, started in the 1990’s, that turned the party into an economic activity, source of great profits for performing artists and producers that experienced national success with the musical genre axé music, integrated to the mass culture. That period is known by a great projection of the party in national mainstream, but hegemonized by a segment, i.e. the bloco de trio (large group of people that follows a moving performing stage set up in the top of a large truck, called Trio Elétrico, in a musical parade by the city streets, protected by a line held by private guards). This model, by being producer of many inequalities, also produced many conflicts, mostly in the clashes between mass culture and popular culture and, nowadays, experience a crisis that is a resultant of accumulation of exclusion an inequality. There are a few scenarios for the future, but there are still no consolidate tendencies.

O Festival das Tribos Indígenas ou Festribal é um evento que ocorre anualmente na cidade de Juruti (Pará), na Amazônia brasileira, e compreende a competição entre as “tribos” Munduruku e Muirapinima. Concebem-se as festas amazônicas a partir de um tensionamento entre culturas, provenientes da colonização, resultando na dupla consciência, efeito da ampla violência. Este artigo buscou identificar nesse evento, modos de resistência e a forma de expressão desse sentimento. Por meio do audiovisual, na Plataforma YouTube, fez-se uma análise semiótica da festa do ano 2019, e, cuja permanência ocorre com base na oralidade, na contação de histórias, dos mitos, crenças e das festas vivenciadas por seus antepassados.

The Festival of Indigenous Tribes or Festribal is an event that has been held annually since 1995 in the city of Juruti (Pará), in the Brazilian Amazon, and comprises the competition between the “tribes” Munduruku and Muirapinima, competing in this manifestation of popular culture. The Amazon simultaneously synthesizes the uniqueness and complexity of a territory that in a very old time had an abundant scenario, inhabited by several human groups (tribes), in addition to, in modern times, adding brand and product. From the 16th century onwards, with the colonization and the arrival of the European, there was a tension between cultures that resulted in double consciousness, the effect of the widespread violence that was transmuted, being evident in popular festivals. With a focus on the cultural diversity of the region and the commercialization of its products, advertising created the “brand” Amazônia, at parties, music, dance, regional craftsmanship etc., and, based on the origin and projection of the party, this article sought to identify in the lyrics of the songs of the Festa dos tribos, in 2019, ways of resistance represented in this manifestation of popular culture and the way in which this feeling is expressed. From a qualitative approach and exploratory objective, a semiotic analysis of the event was carried out, through the audiovisual on the YouTube Platform - by the perception and apprehension of the feelings of these peoples. Although re-signified, the indigenous festivals have perpetuated based on orality, storytelling of their peoples, myths, beliefs and festivals experienced by their ancestors.

Desde a sua origem, a noção de “cultura popular” está vinculada ao trabalho de intelectuais. Foram eles que criaram o conceito no século XIX para abranger o conjunto de práticas populares de caráter oral e tradicional, as quais supunham ameaçadas pelo avanço da civilização capitalista. O artigo procura discutir a relação entre intelectuais e cultura popular na atualidade, tendo como foco a cidade de São Paulo. Para tanto, recupera a trajetória fundamental de Mário de Andrade e os seus estudos de Folclore; a de Rossini Tavares de Lima, integrante do Movimento Folclórico Brasileiro; de seu discípulo e renovador do folclorismo paulista, Antonio Teixeira de Macedo, até chegar ao Movimento das Culturas Populares e suas conquistas no terreno das políticas culturais.

Resumen: La psiquiatría actual contribuye a configurar una cultura donde muchos malestares que podrían explicarse desde el punto de vista social son entendidos como problemas individuales subsidiarios de tratamiento farmacológico o psicoterapéutico. Esta situación se sostiene claramente por los beneficios obtenidos por diversos agentes que participan en ella: beneficio en términos económicos para la industria farmacéutica, beneficios en términos de prestigio para los profesionales, beneficios en términos de desresponsabilización para pacientes o familias, etc. Sin embargo, consideramos que los perjuicios, tanto para los sujetos individuales atrapados en esta red, como para la sociedad en su conjunto, son terribles. Señalaremos ejemplos de cómo aparece la psiquiatría en medios de comunicación y obras de la cultura popular y nos plantearemos que algo deberíamos intentar hacer en busca de un cambio emancipatorio, tanto desde un punto de vista individual como social. Palabras clave: psiquiatría, cultura, industria farmacéutica, psicoterapia, cambio social. Abstract: Current psychiatry helps to shape a culture where many discomforts that could be explained from the social point of view are understood as individual problems that need pharmacological or psychotherapeutic treatment. This situation is clearly supported by the benefits obtained by various agents involved in it: economic benefit for the pharmaceutical industry, benefits in terms of prestige for professionals, benefits in terms of patients or familias rejecting all responsibility, etc. However, we consider that the damages, both for the individual subjects caught in this network, and for society as a whole, are terrible. We will point out examples of how psychiatry appears in the mass media and works of popular culture and we will consider that something we should try to do in search of an emancipatory change, both from an individual and social point of view.

In this paper, the author examines public service as depicted in the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer (BtVS). First, she shows how slaying meets the economist’s definition of a public good, using the BtVS episode “Flooded” (6.04). Second, she discusses public service motivation (PSM) to determine whether or not Buffy, a public servant, operates from a public service ethic. Relying on established measures and evidence from shooting scripts and episode transcripts, the author concludes Buffy is a public servant motivated by a public service ethic. In this way, BtVS informs scholarship on public service by broadening the concept of PSM beyond the public sector; prompting one to wonder whether it is located in a sector, an occupation, or in the individual. These conclusions allow the author to situate Buffy alongside other idealized public servants in American popular culture.

A Wolf in the City is a study of tyranny and of the tyrant’s soul in Plato’s Republic. It argues that Plato’s critique of tyranny is an intervention in an ancient debate concerning the sources of the crisis of Athenian democracy and the relation between political leaders and the demos in the last decades of the fifth century BCE. The book shows that Plato’s critique of tyranny should not be taken as a veiled critique of the Syracusan tyrannical regime but, rather, as an integral part of his critique of Athenian democracy. The book also offers an in-depth and detailed analysis of all three parts of the tyrant’s soul, and contends that this approach is necessary to both fully appraise the complex psychic dynamics taking place in the description of the tyrannical man and shed light on Plato’s moral psychology and its relation with his political theory.

The second part of the translation has three segments. The first is dedicated to the history of Delhi from the time of the Mahabharat to the periods of Anangpal Tomar to the Mughal Emperor Humayun as also Sher Shah, the Afghan ruler. In the second and third segments Mirza Sangin Beg adroitly navigates between twin centres of power in the city. He writes about Qila Mubarak, or the Red Fort, and gives an account of the several buildings inside it and the cost of construction of the same. He ambles into the precincts and mentions the buildings constructed by Shahjahan and other rulers, associating them with some specific inmates of the fort and the functions performed within them. When the author takes a walk in the city of Shahjahanabad, he writes of numerous residents, habitations of rich, poor, and ordinary people, their mansions and localities, general and specialized bazars, the in different skills practised areas, places of worship and revelry, processions exemplifying popular culture and local traditions, and institutions that had a resonance in other cultures. The Berlin manuscript gives generous details of the officials of the English East India Company, both native and foreign, their professions, and work spaces. Mirza Sangin Beg addresses the issue of qaum most unselfconsciously and amorphously.

Abstract:In contemporary urban Africa, the turbulence of the city requires incessant innovation that is capable of generating new ways of being. Rather than treating popular culture as some distinctive sector, this article attempts to investigate the popular as methods of bringing together activities and actors that on the surface would not seem compatible, and as experimental forms of generating value in the everyday life of urban residents. This investigation, sited largely in Douala, Cameroon, looks at how youth from varying neighborhoods attempt to get by, and at the unexpected forms of contestation that can ensue.
