Resumo: Este estudo etnográfico discute o processo de construção de identidades dos migrantes nordestinos na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, tendo como referência a transformação da Feira de São Cristóvão no Centro Municipal Luiz Gonzaga de Tradições Nordestinas. Parte integrante da dissertação Memórias repentinas: a construção poética do Nordeste pelos repentistas da Feira de São Cristóvão (RJ) defendida no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Memória Social/ UNIRIO[1], a presente análise faz uso da ideia de sociodinâmica da estigmatização para compreender as relações estabelecidas entre cariocas e nordestinos, bem como utiliza o conceito de lugares de memória para entender a importância da Feira enquanto bastião da cultura para a população migrante. Para tanto, fez-se um trabalho de campo entre 2010 e 2012, realizando observação não-participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas com atores sociais locais, além de pesquisa na hemeroteca digital do Centro Nacional de Folclore e Cultura Popular e revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema. Palavras chave: Feira de São Cristóvão.

This paper addresses the relations between migrants, mobility, tactics, negotiation, and the contemporary definition of borders in the aftermath of 9/11.The empirical focus of this paper is how Brazilians from Alto Paranaiba journey through airports located in the Schengen area and in the British territory to London. As a main research orientation, I use the notion of journey as approached by mobility studies, where actions and skills remain an important link between the wayfarer and the social space in which s/he moves through, the embodied practice to how we grasp the world. Migrants deal and struggle against border regime, but they are not powerless social actors. They rather produce creative resistance to reinvent their journey through the surveillance apparatus, which manage and delimit places with targets and threats. In this process, I explore the notion of border crossing movement as a tactical mobility developed by migrants to overcome the border control imposed by governments in airports. The article was drawn through fieldwork conducted initially in London, between 2009 and 2013, and afterwards in Alto Paranaiba, during 2013. The ethnographic study consisted in semi-structured interviews, participant observation through snowball technique, which enabled me to access a considerable number of participants in these two regions explored. The argument that I develop is that migrants as social actors are part important in the dialogue produced between border crossing and border reinforcement.

Artists and creative workers are engaged once more in the social and political space. In the current wave, which started in the early 2010s, they have taken part in broad social movements (e.g., Occupy, Tahrir Square), created movements of their own (e.g., Network of Occupied Theaters in Italy and Greece), experimented with alternative economic models and currencies (e.g., Macao and D-CENT), carried out social research and radical education, partnered with institutional and social actors, supported neighborhoods, filled the void left by states’ retreat from the social, and hosted and co-produced art at a time when the budget for culture and independent art is being decreased in numerous countries across the world. This article aims to investigate the organizational and relational aspects of artistic social movements. Drawing on a 2-year-long ethnographic study conducted for my PhD dissertation and deploying a number of research techniques, including participant observation, digital methods, and semi-structured interviews, I propose a new understanding of the meaning of organization in contemporary artistic social movements. My article, focusing especially on data gathered on Macao, “The New Centre for Arts, Culture and Research of Milan,” constitutes an attempt to reflect on emerging organizational models in social movements.

Este artigo analisa redes sociais compostas por travestis entre 35 e 68 anos de idade residentes no Rio de Janeiro. Com base em dados obtidos através do exame de suas narrativas biográficas, trajetórias sociais e da prática da observação participante, propõe-se refletir sobre suas redes sociais e demonstrar a importância das mesmas para os processos de construção de suas subjetividades, performances de gênero e formas de sociabilidade. Sob a perspectiva da Antropologia Urbana, o estudo das redes sociais ancorou-se nos trabalhos de Elizabeth Both, Ulf Harnnez e William Foote White. A partir de suas redes, seus itinerários urbanos, sociabilidades de caráter intra e intergeracional, mas especialmente, os intricados caminhos dos processos de transformação em travesti, são desvelados. Nas tramas das redes sociais travestis, compreendidas aqui não apenas como redes de apoio e proteção, mas também como lugares de memória, de troca e transmissão de experiências, corpos, sujeitos e ‘formas de ser’ e ‘fazer travesti’ são continuamente tecidos.Palavras chave: Travestis.

Resumo: A partir de uma experiência de estágio em uma instituição de acolhimento, localizada no município de Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, tem-se como objetivo principal neste artigo problematizar o tema adoção tardia nessas instituições. O artigo é apresentado em três etapas: na primeira, analisa-se brevemente o percurso experimentado na instituição de acolhimento de crianças e de adolescentes no contexto da Proteção Social Especial, no Sistema Único de Assistência Social (SUAS). Na segunda, reflete-se sobre a contribuição da Psicologia Social nas instituições de acolhimento em tais situações. Por fim, realiza-se entrevistas semiestruturadas com três casais acerca da prática da adoção tardia na referida instituição. Pretende-se, ainda, examinar a construção de laços afetivos nos atores sociais que vivenciam a adoção tardia e potencializar as relações que acontecem fora do núcleo familiar. Conclui-se que, esforços ainda terão que ser demandados para transformar a visão de caridade para a noção de direito e de cidadania que o SUAS propõe, que se realize na assistência social, e, em especial, na adoção tardia. Aprende-se, nessa experiência, que a construção dos laços afetivos é algo presente na adoção tardia e destaca-se a relevância desse tema numa sociedade individualista e marcada por preconceitos.Palavras-chave: Instituições de acolhimento. Adoção tardia. Laços afetivos.Abstract: Based on an internship experience in a host institution, located in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro, we have as main objective in this article to problematize the topic late adoption in these institutions. This article is presented in three stages: in the first one, there is a briefly review of the experience of children and adolescents in the context of Special Social Protection, in the Unified Social Assistance System. The second, reflects on the contribution of Social Psychology in the host institutions in such situations. Finally, semi-structured interviews with three couples about the practice of late adoption at the institution were conducted. The study intends to analyze the construction of affective ties in social actors who experience late adoption. It is concluded that efforts will still have to be demanded to transform the vision of charity to the notion of right and citizenship that SUAS proposes, that is realized in the social assistance, and especially in the late adoption. This experience demonstrates that the building of affective ties is something present in late adoption and emphasizes the relevance of this theme in an individualistic society marked by prejudices.Keywords: Host institutions. Late adoption. Affective ties.

Sports Tourism as a segment is growing exponentially in Brazil. The sports mega-events that occurred in the period from 2007 to 2016 helped strengthen this sector significantly. This article examined tourism mobility during the Summer Olympic Games Rio 2016, hosted by the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This study expands the understanding of the relationship between tourism and city infrastructure, therefore being relevant to academics, professionals of the area and to the whole society due to its multidisciplinary field. The existence of a relationship between means of transportation and the Olympic regions as well as tourist attractions for a possible legacy was observed. Data were collected from official sources, field research and through participant-observation and semi structured interviews. Data were coded and analyzed. The results indicate that the city was overall successful in its execution of sufficient mobility. New means of transportation were added and others updated. BRT's (Bus Rapid Transit) were the main use of mass transport to Olympic sites. However, a lack of public transport access was observed for the touristic sites.

Objective: To understand and describe the implementation process of a comprehensive medication management (CMM) service in a public speciality pharmacy in Brazil.Methods: Ethnographic study conducted over 17 mo (September 2014 to February 2016) in a public speciality pharmacy. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve participants. Notes on field journals, resulting from participant observation conducted by the two pharmacists directly responsible for the service implementation, were also used as a source of data.Results: Ten important conditions to improve the success of CMM service implementation were identified: manager support; evaluation of physical and material resources; evaluation of human resources practitioners’ characteristics and knowledge about the theoretical framework of CMM services; time dedicated to CMM services; redefining the work process; defining patient eligibility criteria to CMM service; defining patient flow to CMM service; communication with healthcare team; integration with the staff; and marketing the service internally.Conclusion: The results unveiled by this article can be used by pharmacists and managers as a tool to optimize the implementation of CMM services in different healthcare settings. These conditions do not consist the only aspects necessary to ensure the success of the service; however, they can contribute to optimize the implementation process of the practice

OBJECTIVE: to interpret the meanings patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus assign to health education groups.METHOD: ethnographic study conducted with Hyperdia groups of a healthcare unit with 26 informants, with type 2 diabetes mellitus, and having participated in the groups for at least three years. Participant observation, social characterization, discussion groups and semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. Data were analyzed through the thematic coding technique.RESULTS: four thematic categories emerged: ease of access to the service and healthcare workers; guidance on diabetes; participation in groups and the experience of diabetes; and sharing knowledge and experiences. The most relevant aspect of this study is the social use the informants in relation to the Hyperdia groups under study.CONCLUSION: the studied groups are agents producing senses and meanings concerning the process of becoming ill and the means of social navigation within the official health system. We expect this study to contribute to the actions of healthcare workers coordinating these groups given the observation of the cultural universe of these individuals seeking professional care in the various public health care services.

The study of physical and social divisions in divided societies has long been an area of study, such as the continued usage of 'peace walls' in Belfast, hostile architecture to prevent anti-social behaviour and rough sleeping, and the securitisation of private spaces. In the context of a new drive to create a smart district, this paper looks at the relationship between smart urbanism and planning, and at the spatial and social divisions between a new 'gentrifying' and well-educated community in the Dublin Docklands and established communities in the area. The Dublin Docklands redevelopment marks a significant break from a pattern of suburbanisation and inner-city decline and repurposes part of the former port area as a city centre extension. The paper accounts for the reshaping of the Dublin Docklands as a ‘smart district’ in collaboration with the city authorities, based on over thirty semi-structured interviews and participant-observation at consultation events. It argues that reductive definitions of smart cities as networking technologies be reworked into broader considerations on urban technologies and the future of cities, with greater emphasis on the relationship between technologies branded as ‘smart’ and the material and digital manifestation of boundaries in urban form.

Here I present the results of BridgePORT, an ethnographic study I carried out in 2018 within the Portuguese community of Bridgeport, CT (USA). I describe language use and representation among Portuguese speakers within the community, and I investigate the integration of these speakers into the dominant American English speech community. Through my fieldwork, I observe mixing practices in day-to-day interaction, while I also consider the evolution of the Portuguese language in light of language contact and speakers’ discourse as this relates to ideologies about the status of Portuguese within the community. My findings rely on questionnaires, participant observation of verbal interaction, and semi-structured interviews. My aim is to show how verbal practice shapes the process of identity construction and how ideas of linguistic “purity” mediate the maintenance of a link to Portugal and Portuguese identity.

Throughout the 20th century, urban gardening in central and northern Europe as well as in North America has received a great deal of academic attention. However, the recent proliferation of urban gardening in other geographies, such as southern Europe in the aftermath of the economic crisis of 2007–2008, remains underexplored. The economic crisis put on hold urban developments in many southern European cities, leaving idle plots of land waiting to be urbanized. The crisis also triggered radical political demands, such as those of the Indignados, as well as fuelling narratives revolving around social entrepreneurship and social innovation. Barcelona emerges as a laboratory of urban gardening initiatives in vacant lots mobilizing either radical urban demands or embedding new post-crisis rhetoric around social entrepreneurship. Through a combination of qualitative methods, including participant observation, a literature review, semi-structured interviews, informal conversations and field diaries, we present a characterization and evolution of the three most prominent urban gardening initiatives in the city of Barcelona (including 54 gardens at the end of 2016): the Network of Municipal Gardens (municipally led gardens for retired people); the Network of Communitarian Gardens (social movements); and the Empty Plots Plan (social entrepreneurial urban gardening). Subsequently, we discuss the different meanings of gardening in crisis/post-crisis Barcelona as well as the urban politics that each initiative articulates. Our results show that urban gardens within the city are an expression of different and non-exclusive meanings that explicitly or implicitly, in a context of crisis and post-crisis, mobilize notions of political gardening.
