O artigo refere-se ao relato de uma mestranda de Engenharia Civil da UFRGS que estabelece um diálogo interdisciplinar com a Antropologia, expondo sua experiência como gestora de uma Organização Não-Governamental que desenvolve projetos socioambientais. Na busca de reflexões sobre as estratégias de intervenção social, realizadas por meio da ONG no Delta do Jacuí, uma área caracterizada como Unidade de Conservação mista na capital gaúcha - Porto Alegre - RS, o relato da experiência com um grupo de moradores de áreas precárias em situação de risco de inundação na Ilha das Flores é examinado com base em conceitos antropológicos. As reflexões fundamentadas na Teoria da Dádiva, de Marcel Mauss, permitiram avaliar a necessidade de se pensar numa reconfiguração da sociedade. Essa reconfiguração pressupõe o reconhecimento das necessidades de cada cidadão em pequenos núcleos comunitários, e que esse reconhecimento se propague de forma local, iniciando com o estímulo à participação comunitária e se expanda geograficamente, em rede, até alcançar dimensões globais. Palavras-chave: Moeda; participação; ONG.Redecriar and the “flower-coin”: the times of social work at Ilha das Flores (Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil)AbstractThe article refers to the report of a master student of Civil Engineering Graduate Program at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul that establishes an interdisciplinary dialogue with Anthropology, exposing her experience as manager and founder of a Non-Governmental Organization that develops social and environmental projects. In search of reflections on the social intervention strategies carried out by the NGO in the Jacuí Delta, an area characterized as mixed conservation area in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, RS, the account of the experience with a group of residents living in poor areas in flood risk of Flores Island is examined on the basis of anthropological concepts. The reflections based on the Gift Theory by Marcel Mauss made possible to take in consideration the need of thinking a new configuration of the society. This reconfiguration implies the recognition of the needs of every citizen in small community centers, and that this recognition spreads locally, starting with the encouragement of community participation and expanding geographically, in a network, to achieve global dimensions.Key words: Currency, participation, NGOs.

A partir da constatação de que os programas de regularização fundiária possuem uma natureza curativa, sem capacidade de prevenir a irregularidade, procura-se demonstrar aqui que os instrumentos trazidos pelo Estatuto da Cidade, embora necessários, são insuficientes para responder ao desafio colocado às cidades brasileiras, situado no campo da capacidade institucional de se construir uma política urbana e habitacional que combine às políticas de regularização fundiária mecanismos que previnam a produção cotidiana de assentamentos informais, por meio da oferta de lotes regulares a preços baixos. Argumenta-se que a ordem jurídico-urbanística brasileira preconizada pelo Estatuto da Cidade não apresenta garantias efetivas de implementação, vislumbrando-se um longo processo de disputa jurídico-política entre os interessados na manutenção da velha ordem jurídica nucleada pelo direito absoluto de propriedade, e os defensores de uma emergente ordem jurídica que garanta a função social da cidade e da propriedade. O artigo analisa o caso da cidade de Porto Alegre, na qual foi formulado um instrumento inovador de política urbana e habitacional, chamado de Urbanizador Social.Palavras-chave: Estatuto da Cidade; política habitacional; regularização fundiária; planejamento urbano; função social da propriedade. Abstract: Based on the evidence that the programs of land regularization have a curative nature, not having the capacity to prevent irregularity, we try to show in this study that the instruments provided by the City Statute, although necessary, are not enough to respond to the challenge faced by brazilian cities. This challenge is related to the institutional capacity of making an urban and housing policy that matches to the land regularization policies mechanisms to prevent the everyday production of informal settlements, through the offer of regular lots with low prices. We argue that the Brazilian juridical-urbanistic order provided by the City Statute does not present effective guarantees of implementation. One foresees a long juridical-political dispute process between the ones who are interested in maintaining the old juridical order cored by the absolute property right and those who defend an emergent juridical order that guarantees the social function of city and property. This article analyses the case of Porto Alegre city, where an innovative urban and housing policy called Urbanizador Social (Social Urbanizer) was created.

RESUMOO presente texto tem como objetivo apresentar resultados parciais de um projeto de dissertação desenvolvido no mestrado em Processos e Manifestações Culturais da Universidade Feevale. Em um primeiro momento, apresenta as motivações iniciais da pesquisa, emanadas de análises de questionários, aplicados em uma escola na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre, cujas respostas apontam que ainda sobrevivem concepções de arte influenciadas por valores gregos e renascentistas. Após, efetiva-se uma revisão histórica sobre as concepções de belo e feio da cultura ocidental, verificando suas relações com o campo da arte e com a esfera da Educação em Artes Visuais. Nesse processo, foca as visões de arte, de belo e feio que circulam no espaço escolar e investe na problematização desses conceitos. Os referenciais teóricos são constituídos por autores como Umberto Eco, Adolfo Sánchez Vásquez, Arthur C. Danto e Hegel, que contribuem para o entendimento das origens e transformações das relações entre arte e beleza e, também, das posteriores rupturas entre os dois conceitos. Entende-se que questionar “o que é arte” pode contribuir para a reflexão sobre o papel da disciplina de arte na escola, o que é possível por meio da experiência em sala de aula, aqui relatada, em diálogo com os autores selecionados para a pesquisa.Palavras-chave: Arte. Belo. Cultura. Educação. Feio. ABSTRACTThis paper aims to present partial results of a master’s thesis project carried out at the Graduate Program in Processes and Cultural Manifestations, at Feevale University, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. At first, it presents some initial motivations of the study coming from the analysis of questionnaires applied at a school based in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, whose answers point to the fact that conceptions of art, influenced by Greek and Renaissance values, still exist. Subsequently, a historical review on the conceptions of the beauty and the ugly in Western culture is conducted, having in mind its relationship to the field of art and Visual Arts Education. In this process, our study focuses on the notions of art, beauty, and the ugly present in the school environment and invests in the problematization of these concepts. Our theoretical references include authors such as Umberto Eco, Adolfo Sanchez Vasquez, Arthur C. Danto, and Hegel. They contribute to the understanding of origins and changes of relationships between art and beauty and subsequent ruptures regarding these two concepts. We understand that questioning ‘what is art’ may contribute to the reflection on the role of art as a subject in the school, which is possible through the classroom experience here reported, in a dialogue with those authors.Keywords: Art. Beauty. Culture. Education. Ugly.

Resumo O presente trabalho discute a produção do espaço urbano a partir da habitação construída pelo Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida − PMCMV. Buscou-se analisar a distribuição territorial dos empreendimentos enquadrados no Programa e a atuação dos agentes envolvidos nesse processo. Foram coletados dados referentes aos empreendimentos contratados no âmbito do PMCMV entre os anos 2009 a 2013 na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre-RMPA, nas três faixas de renda atendidas pelo Programa. Os empreendimentos foram georeferenciados e analisados em relação a sua localização na mancha urbana. Realizou-se um mapeamento dos principais agentes envolvidos, com o levantado e a análise das construtoras com empreendimentos contratados. Observou-se um número reduzido de municípios atendidos pelo Programa, justaposição de empreendimentos em determinadas áreas urbanas, presença de poucas empresas controlando o maior volume de unidades contratadas e a tendência a localizar os empreendimentos destinados a menor faixa de renda junto às periferias urbanas. Abstract This paper discusses the production of urban space by examining the housing projects produced by Minha Casa, Minha Vida Program − PMCMV. To analyze the spatial distribution of projects produced by the Program, and the activities of the stakeholders involved in this process, we collected information regarding developments hired under the PMCMV between the years 2009-2013 in the Metropolitan Region of Porto Alegre. The projects were georeferenced and analyzed taking in consideration their position in relation to the urban sprawl. A mapping of stakeholders was carried out through a survey and analysis of the construction companies that were hired under the Program scheme. We observed a small number of municipalities covered by the program; a juxtaposition of developments in certain urban areas; the presence of a few companies controlling a larger volume of contracted units; and the tendency to locate projects, aimed to the lower income band, along the urban peripheries.

Micah’s Theory of the Justice of Judgement (Micah 3:1-12)

This article is an examination of Micah’s theory of justice within the overall context of his oracles of judgements. While there are competing perspectives in the justice of judgement in the book of Micah, particularly in relation to the extent of judgement, this article concerns itself with the interrelatedness and connection between sin and judgement. The judgements envisioned in Micah’s oracles are provoked by the violations of the traditional moral and social solidarities resulting from the Covenant, which formed the basis of society. As an egalitarian society, the social blueprint of Yahweh’s Torah for Israel advocated special concern for weak and vulnerable individuals as fundamental. The gift of Torah inaugurated Israel as a community meant to personify Yahweh’s justice. However, increasing injustice profoundly jeopardized this witness to God’s healing agenda. For failing to uphold justice the perpetrators are liable and the judgements constitute justice. This justice may not necessarily be corrective in quality but punitive. The article therefore examines briefly the background, structure, and approaches to the book of Micah, analyses a unit of judgement oracle (3:1–12), and concludes by synthesising Micah’s theory of justice within the overall context of his oracles of judgements.

Textualizing the memory(ies) of physical and cultural encounter(s) between Self and Other, travel literature/writing often combines subjectivity with documental information which may prove relevant to better assess mentalities, everyday life and the social history of any given ‘timeplace’. That is the case with Growing up English. Memories of Portugal 1907-1930, by D. J. Baylis (née Bucknall), prefaced by Peter Mollet as “(…) a remarkably vivid and well written observation of the times expressed with humour and not little ‘carinho’. In all they make excellent reading especially for those of us interested in the recent past.” (Baylis: 2)

Semantic Pluralism

Taking into account the research conclusions in social and natural sciences, gastropoetics as a research method allows to examine a literary text in-depth revealing the causal relationships and nuances of the psychological portrayal of characters, as well as analyse semantic pluralism providing more diverse interpretation opportunities of a literary text. In Andrejs Upīts’s novel “Bread” (Maize, 1914) the portrayed passengers of the third class train wagon are a micromodel of Western society, where food, sharing the food or its denial precisely reveal the hierarchic structure of community and the differences in social stratification, as well as human behavioural principles, which are based on the tradition that has evolved over thousands of years and can also be cross-compared with the behavioural principles observable among animals. Other aspects include the social undermining of certain social groups, for instance, older people, children, foreigners, as well as the marginalisation of these groups denying them the freedom of choice or action, equal rights, etc. Upīts in his novel constructs a social situation of a small community, accurately revealing the hierarchic structure, as well as collaboration and relationship models of the community.

Source Data

A procedure for estimating hydrological parameters is presented which combines a) remote sensing and GIS techniques with b) data extracted from site visits to city districts; the estimate so obtained is compared with estimates from rainfall data. It is developed in urban sub-basins of Dilúvio Basin in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, Brazil. A Fuzzy Algorithm which performs within sub-pixel level is used. Cover classes studied are: highly and slightly impervious, bare ground, grassed open space, and forest. A soil thematic map is determined based on pedological studies. A final distributed thematic map of potential runoff is obtained by superimposing previous data. It is compared with lumped runoff potential from rainfall events in sub-basins. These broad multi-source data hold basic information to develop an alternative strategy for hydrologic studies in urban basins.

Chapter 1 takes a cue from recent anthropologists who have stressed the influence of Mauss’s socialism on his sociological work. Returning to Mauss’s The Gift, the chapter argues that what links his essay to the experimental writing of his literary contemporaries is not their shared fascination with the primitive, as other critics have suggested, but rather their shared investment in reimagining social possibilities within market society. Mauss was, as his biographer notes, an “Anglophile.” Shedding light on his admiration of British socialism and especially the work of Beatrice and Sidney Webb—friends of Virginia and Leonard Woolf—as well as competing usages of the language of “gifts” in the social sciences and the arts, the chapter ultimately provides a new material and conceptual framework for understanding the intersection of largely French gift theory and Anglo-American modernist writing.
