Este trabalho tem por objetivo relacionar aspectos da pesquisa no âmbito da pós-graduação em Planejamento Urbano e Regional com o processo de aprendizado em “Antropologia Visual e da Imagem”, disciplina cursada junto ao PPGAS/UFRGS no segundo semestre do ano próximo passado. Neste sentido, o campo da imagem é explorado como forma de pensar e projetar o território urbano (aqui trazido como área de formação, atuação e interesse do pesquisador), em especial por sua capacidade narrativa e de interpretação do imaginário social. A escolha metodológica deriva entre os aspectos da leitura e decifração do imaginário social (a partir da visão de Walter Benjamin), das estratégias projetuais evidenciadas no pensamento por cenários e, ainda, pela análise e interpretação de imagens no âmbito da antropologia visual; em todos os casos com foco nas analogias e/ou complementaridades da capacidade hermenêutica das imagens em cada um dos campos de conhecimento.Palavras – chave: Imagem dialética. Cenários. Imagem. Montagem. Narrativas.Search dialogues with studies in visual anthropology and imageAbstractThis work aims to relate aspects of research within the post graduation in Urban and Regional Planning with the learning process in "Visual and Imagetic Anthropology" course taken within the PPGAS / UFRGS in the second half of last year. In this sense, the image field is explored as a way of thinking and designing the urban territory (brought here as an undergraduation, performance and research field of interest), in particular by the narrative and interpretation ability of the social imaginary. The methodological choice derives from the aspects of reading and deciphering the social imaginary (from a Walter Benjamin's view), the projective strategies evidenced from the thinking through scenarios and also for the analysis and interpretation of images in the context of visual anthropology; in all cases focusing on analogies and / or complementarities of hermeneutics capacity of images in each of these fields of knowledge.Key words: Dialectical image. Scenarios. Image. Montages. Narratives.

Urban Territory

This article critically analyses and theoretically conceptualises the links between settler colonialism, planning and health. Based on the case of the Bedouin community in the Negev/Naqab, we argue that the production of settler colonial space has a profound impact on health, and should therefore be referred to as a specific category for analysing health disparities, simultaneously entangling territorial control and biopolitics towards indigenous communities. Furthermore, we suggest that this relationship between space and health constructs stigma that justifies and facilitates – in turn – the ongoing territorial control over the indigenous Bedouin population in Israel. By reviewing existing data on health and planning, especially in relation to infrastructure and access to services, we contribute to the growing literature on the nexus of settler-colonialism/health with urban and regional planning. Importantly, throughout this paper we refer to the Bedouin localities as part of the production of urban territory, illuminating the urban as a multidimensional process of political struggle, including the metropolin informal fringes.

Since the public inauguration of the URP (Urban and Regional Planning) Bill in 2009, which is now law (The Urban and Regional Planning Act No. 3 of 2015), urban planning in Zambia has undergone changes. In partnership with the Volunteer Service Overseas (VSO) Federation, the Zambian parliament put into effect pilot urban planning assistance programs to assist districts around the country, including Chipata District in 2011, transition to a more decentralized, integrated and locally-defined approach to urban planning. However, the presence of discrimination, corruption, and negative attitudes towards urban planning engagement, social maladies prominently displayed in Zambian society, pose challenges to implementing the ideal goals of the 2009 URP Bill. The extreme, widespread poverty in Zambia merely exacerbates the propensity towards corrupt and discriminatory behavior, and influences poor attitudes toward urban planning engagement. This paper describes the projects undertaken by the VSO volunteer from the USA between 2011 and 2012 in the light of the specific urban problems facing Chipata District, and discusses the ways the social maladies play out in Zambian society to pose challenges to implementing the recommended changes to the planning system scribed in the 2009 URP Bill.

Funding Research

Esta é uma abordagem inicial, de trabalho, que busca estabelecer alguns parâmetros para a compreensão da conjuntura e do processo de financiamento à pesquisa da área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional no Brasil, através da análise da ação do CNPq, no período recente. Adotamos, primeiro, como recorte a grande área de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas e Educação do CNPq, para construirmos uma referência para a análise do fomento à pesquisa na área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional, tanto pelo fato dessa área congregar majoritariamente as áreas de conhecimento com proximidade ao planejamento, quanto pela forma de agregação de dados adotada pelo CNPq para disponibilização de suas informações. Na segunda parte do texto, avaliamos especificamente os dados do comitê assessor de Sociais Aplicadas, o CA-SA, que contém a área de Planejamento Urbano e Regional, Arquitetura e Urbanismo, Geografia, Demografia e Turismo. Ao final, fazemos um breve balanço e apontamos algumas linhas de ação para o futuro, uma vez que a articulação ao território do processo de formação acadêmica e de criação em ciência e tecnologia é um dos grandes desafios colocados ao Brasil hoje. Palavras-chave: CNPq; pesquisa; Planejamento Urbano e Regional. Abstract: This is a first approach that aims to establish some parameters to understand the situation and the process of research funding on the Urban and Regional Planning Area within Brazil Research Council (CNPq), in the recent period. Initially we analyze the large area of Social Applied Sciences and Education of the CNPq, to build a reference framework to support the funding research analyses in the field of urban and regional planning, in so far as this area embraces most of the knowledge fields with some proximity to the planning area, as well as the way CNPq provides its data information. Afterwards, we evaluated specifically the data of the Social Applied Sciences Advisory Committee (CA-SA), which comprises the area of Urban and Regional Planning, Architecture and Urbanism, Geography, Demography and Tourism. To conclude, we make a short appraisal pointing out some lines of action for the future, since linking the territory in the process of academic formation and of creation in science and technology is one of the big challenges to Brazil overcome nowadays.

Planning Action

What are the social reasons for urban planning activity? How can we discuss issues, principles, values and guidelines in urban planning action today? The title of these notes is drawn from a series of three seminars which we organised and held between 2011 and 2012, with support from the Diap. These notes accompany Susan Fainstein's essay at the beginning of this edition of the journal. The expression ‘contemporary planning matters' with its double meaning is both a reference to the reasons for contemporary planning activity and a pointer to the challenges of the subject and issues which urban planning action must meet today. It is on these big issues that we have invited Susan Fainstein, Tim Rieniets and Jacques Donzelot to dicuss the conditions to which urban and regional planning is subject today.

Chapter 12, “Commentary: Personalization,” discusses the process of personalization, based on the portraits presented in Chapters 8–11. Personalization is not just a matter of individual variation; it is a form of active engagement through which individuals endow imaginaries with personal meanings and refract the imaginary through their own experiences. The portraits illustrate how the social imaginary of childrearing and self-esteem entered into dialogue with the complex realities of people’s lives. Parents’ ability to implement their childrearing goals was constrained and enabled by their past experiences and by socioeconomic conditions. The individual children were developing different strategies of self-evaluation, different expectations about how affirming the world would be, and different self-defining interests, and their self-making varied, depending on the situation. Some children received diagnoses of low self-esteem as early as preschool.

Chapter 7, “Child-Affirming Artifacts,” uses ideas from Vygotskian theory to describe the child-affirming artifacts that populated children’s homes. Some artifacts were widely distributed consumer products. Children interacted with toys and electronic games that dispensed praise. Children’s books and TV shows, marketed as promoting children’s self-esteem, featured characters who were celebrated for their achievements, individuality, inherent worth, and potential. Several children loved Blue’s Clues, a show whose star constantly praised its characters and audience. These consumer products instantiated the same self-enhancing practices that parents believed fostered children’s self-esteem, thereby amplifying the social imaginary. This chapter also describes personalized, handmade artifacts designed by the families to celebrate their children. Photos of the children and artwork by children were on display in every household, and some adults created original homages to their children, which prompted commentary and stories that extolled the children’s achievements and reminded them how much they were loved and cherished.
