In the most liquid environments that characterize nightlife and parties, we generally live in a slower and more marked time: on the one hand, by relevant, varied and often intense sensitive experiences; and, on the other hand, for expectations of more freedom and social interaction between the actors. This article sought to problematize the direct and indirect repercussions - not only socioeconomic, but especially in the imagination of the city - of the nightly cultural experiences that take place at the festive events held at Beco das Artes (in the city center of Rio de Janeiro), which it presents itself as an open territory for serendipities, capable of mobilizing an expressive segment of actors who gravitate towards a musical production associated with the local alternative scene (and who, in general, participate in the current street culture in Rio). In view of the objectives outlined, our investigation is not only based on the theoretical-methodological procedures of the Sociology of Senses (and of the Imaginary) founded by Georg Simmel, but also employs cartographic methodological strategies (in the process of carrying out fieldwork and monitoring the dynamics aggregation of actors in the territories) inspired by the Actor-Network Theory, noted in Bruno Latour's seminal work.

Using actor-network theory, this essay argues that the Norwich Grocers’ Play creates a dramatic network among the city of Norwich, the actors of the play, and the marginal audience members from Norwich and its surrounding countryside when read in light of the Norwich Corporation assembly minute of 1527 and the history of social unrest culminating in Kett’s Rebellion of 1549. The staging, costuming, and language of the play all function to ally the audience with the salvation history presented in the play and, in so doing, ensure the continued peace and prosperity of Norwich in the later 1560s despite challenges that could have led to unrest mirroring that experienced in the 1540s.

This study identifies key determinants of Airbnb demand and quantifies their marginal contributions in terms of demand elasticities. A comprehensive cross-sectional data set of all Viennese Airbnb listings that were active between July 2015 and June 2016 is examined. Estimation results, which are obtained by cluster-robust ordinary least squares, show that Airbnb demand in Vienna is price-inelastic. Significant positive drivers include listing size, number of photos, and responsiveness of the host. Significant negative drivers include listing price, distance from the city center, and response time of the host. Implications for the traditional accommodation industry are that, on the one hand, it should better communicate its sought-after advantages (e.g. lower average minimum duration of stay). On the other hand, it should increase its offer of bigger and better equipped hotel rooms since hosting more than two guests at a time is one of the major benefits of Airbnb.

In this paper I explore some limits of the generalized symmetry of actor-network theory. The paper is based on a study on cows, farming technology, and farming science, and is empirically based on an anthropological fieldwork in modern, computerized cowsheds. By exploring differences in interactions between human beings and cows, on the one hand, and between human beings and computers, on the other, I argue that the partly common natural history of human beings and cows, and the lack of such a history in human–computer interactions, makes it impossible to be agnostic about where to find subjectivity in such a place as a cowshed. Animal bodies (including human beings) demand certain kinds of interactions, and thus produce certain distributions of subjectivities. The boundary of animality is not a purely ‘cultural’ distinction, and cannot be deconstructed as such.

This aspect of continuous growth is to respond to consumptive society's demand as the result of the continuous development of the modern era. This globalization era leads society to know the information and communication technology that affects their social life.

ABSTRAK. Ruang publik kota dibutuhkan warga kota  untuk berkumpul  tanpa perbedaan. Pada kota lama bekas kerajaan di Jawa seperti Yogyakarta,tata ruang kotanya mengikuti makna filosofi yang dipercaya pada masanya, dan memiliki alun-alun yang berkembang menjadi ruang publik. Meskipun pengertian ruang publik di sini berbeda dengan ruang publik di Eropa, namun sebagai tempat berkumpul cukup menarik. Alun-alun Selatan Kraton Yogyakarta saat ini begitu hidup berkembang sebagai ruang publik terutama setiap malam dengan berbagai kegiatan menarik. Perubahan pemaknaan terjadi seiring perkembangan jaman. Berangkat dari anggapan awal saya tentang perubahan fungsi dan makna alun-alun, di lapangan saya memperoleh temuan bahwa kerelaan pihak kraton memberikan halamannnya untuk rakyat adalah faktor utama terbentuknya ruang publik di alun-alun. Di lapangan saya juga menemukan berbagai makna yang bisa dibaca dari tanda, yang bisa dimaknai sebagai semiotik alun-alun. Penelitian saya memiliki dua arah, kajian sejarah sebagai tolok ukur perkembangan fungsi dan makna, serta proses lapangan menekankan pada eksplorasi aktor-aktor yang terlibat di alun-alun selatan, dengan mengacu Actor Network Theoryserta Semiotik untuk memahami terbentuknya  makna bagi pemilik dan pengguna, yang bisa berubah pada kurun waktu yang berbeda. Kata Kunci: alun-alun, ruang publik, makna, semiotik ABSTRACT.  Public space needed to gather citizens without distinction. In the old town of the former kingdom in Java such as Yogyakarta, the city follows the spatial meaning of the philosophy that believed in his time, and had the square developed into a public space. Although the notions of public space here is different from the public space in Europe, but as a gathering place quite interesting. South Alun-Alun Kraton Yogyakarta today so thrive as a public space, especially every night with a variety of interesting activities. Changes of meaning occurs over the development period. Departing from my initial assumptions about changes in the function and meaning of the square, on the ground I gained the finding that the willingness of the parties the court gives halamannnya for the people is a major factor in the formation of a public space of the square. On the field, I also found a variety of meanings that can be read from the signs, which could be interpreted as a semiotic alun-alun My research has two directions, the study of history as a benchmark the development of the function and meaning, as well as the pitch emphasis on exploration of the actors involved in the  south Alun-Alun, with reference Actor Network Theory and Semiotics to understand the formation of meaning for owners and users, which may change at different times.  Keywords: square, public space, , meaning, semiotic

This article analyses the importance of integration between patrimonialization and Museology for social development. This research was carried out in the city of Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, in the do Abaeté and St. Bartholomew Metropolitan parks. The patrimonialization is analyzed in its sociological and anthropological dimension, considering it as part of the construction of citizenship. The methodological procedures adopted were bibliographical research, archiving, ethnographic observation and interviews. The results showed, on the one hand, an incomplete official patrimonialization, revealing tensions and difficulties in the dialogue between the institutional actors and local communities. On the other hand, patrimonialization although essential, must also respond to the museological demands of the social groups involved with the preserved heritage. There is also a further conclusion about how important it is that coordinated policies be formulated so as to make viable the integration patimonialization and museology as a means of stimulating local development. Keywords: patrimonialization, museology, public policies, developme

This article is devoted to the significant topic, however, unfortunately, still remains outside the field of the view of researchers - the history of the green space of the Kharkiv city. Using sources of the late XVII - late XVIII century an attempt is made to analyze the anthropogenic pressure on the territory of the city and determine the limit of the population that could live on it. The article is written on the basis of the actor-network theory, which calls to analyze the influence of human and natural actors as symmetrical. This approach allowed us to analyze the collected material from the point of view of the idea of ​​co-evolution of the city and the natural environment. The author analyzed the main urban ecological actors and proved that most of the environmental problems were pestering the inhabitants of the city in the 19th century. Nevertheless, they were unknown in the previous century. The residents' need for water supply was fully provided thanks to the well system; they existed in almost every yard, and Kharkiv rivers were also full-flowing. A sufficient number of trees protected the city from dust. However, with the development of the city, including through the drainage of significant areas and their subsequent development, the city was exposed to the devastating consequences of the deterioration of its natural condition. All this could have been avoided, as if the officials responsible for the improvement were competent in this matter. Thus, the article calls for further research on the history of green spaces of the city with the aim of formulating the principles of co-evolution of green and man-made spaces.

This chapter examines the relationship between Jews and the modern city, and more specifically how urban life contributed to Jewish degeneration, by drawing on the arguments advanced by Yuri Slezkine in his book The Jewish Century. While some scholars praised The Jewish Century, others were critical of Slezkine’s work. The chapter first looks at intellectuals who influenced the turn-of-the-century discourse on the city, including Georg Simmel, Louis Wirth, Arthur Ruppin, and Theodor Herzl, before discussing the combined impact of the historical and sociological processes of urbanization and assimilation, on the one hand, and of individual adaptation and mental degeneration, on the other, on the sociological meaning of being Jewish. It also considers the discourse regarding the intersection between race and environment, taking into account arguments by physicians such as Jacob Snowman and Abraham Myerson.
