Professional dancing in São Paulo, Brazil, developed from the 1950s on, with a constant and strong influence from modern dance. As modernism looked disapprovingly at ballet, seeing it as something from the past, prejudice grew in the city toward the form. Directors and choreographers of dance companies currently speak about ballet and contemporary ballet as something that is done, but always by others, never themselves. Even the word “ballet” is avoided, since it seems to diminish the works being discussed, as it became something strictly associated with dance training, and not professional dance. This chapter investigates the roots of ballet in São Paulo, discussing both its origins and the origins of its rejection, while pointing to the recent indications of its newfound public interest.

Lack Of Knowledge

The worldwide concern regarding sustainable urban development has been increasing as the populations of countries increase and demand more consumption of the already scarce natural resources. According to the United Nations, it is estimated that 55% of the world population lives in urban centers, with the perspective of surpassing 68% in 2050. In Brazil, 84% of the population today live in the cities. One of the goals of sustainable development is to make cities more sustainable and inclusive and, to accomplish such goal, many variables need to be accomplished, among which is the strengthening of efforts to protect and safeguard cities’ cultural heritage, for the present and future generations. Seeing as São Paulo is the 10th urban city in the world, and its historical heritage preservation policies are recent and in the process of being outlined, this research strives to answer: What are the main challenges identified by owners/managers of listed historical buildings in São Paulo, which stand in the way of conserving/preserving their properties? Results revealed that the main challenges are a lack of knowledge about what interventions can be done to the property, lack of knowledge on incentive laws and more feasible ways for the conservation of historical sites and dealing with excessive bureaucracy. Such results contribute to the implementation of urban development policies focused on the sustainable goal of safeguarding the city’s cultural heritage, in order to propitiate advancements in preserving the memory and identity of the city through the conservation of properties listed as historical heritage.

Networks Of Support

The city of São Paulo, historically important as a destination for migrants from across the world, has experienced newer waves of immigration in the past few decades. As Brazilian national legislation and municipal policies have been ill prepared to handle these recent flows, migrants find themselves without much institutional support and rely instead on other networks to find their way in the city. This article is based on ethnographic research among low-income migrants in São Paulo, many of whom are employed as tailors and garment vendors in the city’s thriving central commercial neighbourhoods. Migrants from Bolivia, Peru, China, Pakistan and Nepal co-exist alongside working-class Brazilians. This article traces the everyday forms of conviviality among these migrants who find themselves in precarious conditions in São Paulo. It will consider the lines along which friendships and networks of support and sociability are built and the depth of such relationships. It also considers the points of tension which divide people and strain potential friendships, for instance, when migrants compete to sell their goods and are exploited by ‘fellow migrants’ to survive in the city. What we see is an ambivalent field of interaction that is convivial yet competitive and distrustful.

AbstractIn January 2020 China reported to the World Health Organization an outbreak of pneumonia of undetermined origin in the city of Wuhan, Hubei. In January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a Public Health Emergency of International Interest (PHEI).ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to assess the impact of a COVID-19 epidemic in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil.MethodsWe used a generalized SEIR (Susceptibles, Exposed, Infectious, Recovered) model, with additional Hospitalized variables (SEIHR model) and age-stratified structure to analyze the expected time evolution during the onset of the epidemic in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. The model allows to determine the evolution of the number of cases, the number of patients admitted to hospitals and deaths caused by COVID-19. In order to investigate the sensibility of our results with respect to parameter estimation errors we performed Monte Carlo analysis with 100 000 simulations by sampling parameter values from an uniform distribution in the confidence interval.ResultsWe estimate 1 368 (IQR: 880, 2 407) cases, 301 (22%) in older people (≥60 years), 81 (50, 143) hospitalizations, and 14 (9, 26) deaths in the first 30 days, and 38 583 (IQR: 16 698, 113, 163) cases, 8 427 (21.8%) in older people (≥60 years), 2181 (914, 6392) hospitalizations, and 397(166, 1205) deaths in the first 60 days.LimitationsWe supposed a constant transmission probability Pc among different age-groups, and that every severe and critic case will be hospitalized, as well as that the detection capacity in all the primary healthcare services does not change during the outbreak.ConclusionSupposing the reported parameters in the literature apply in the city of São Paulo, our study shows that it is expected that the impact of a COVID-19 outbreak will be important, requiring special planning from the authorities. This is the first study for a major metropolitan center in the south hemisphere, and we believe it can provide policy makers with a prognosis of the burden of the pandemic not only in Brazil, but also in other tropical zones, allowing to estimate total cases, hospitalization and deaths, in support to the management of the public health emergence caused by COVID-19.

The Ideal

The city is primarily a public space as it is both a condition and an expression of its citizens. It is the environment where citizens can and should feel as such: free, equal and different. It is where society is performed, where it represents itself and is shown as a community that cohabitates and shows its contradictions, disputes and differences. The city is where collective memory is created and where all the different identities emerge. For this reason, this is the ideal location for Humanae. The faces of thousands of citizens crowding halls and museums to conquer the squares. From the streets of a marginalized neighborhood in Málaga - Spain, or the Rotary Praça in São Paulo - Brazil, to a building at United Nations Habitat III and the entrance of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Humanae uses public space to involve citizens from all over the planet in a global dialogue.

O trabalho se inscreve no esforço por compreender a vida associativa como parte de um processo de singularização dos atores políticos. Parte-se da premissa de que esses atores têm a possibilidade de agenciar elementos do passado e do presente na constituição de um repertório político. O artigo está em diálogo com os trabalhos que estudam o militantismo, enfatizando os processos de socialização política, embora esteja operando na chave analítica da subjetivação política. A reflexão aqui apresentada está baseada no material de uma pesquisa etnográfica multissituada, realizada em associações de bairro das periferias da cidade de São Paulo durante três anos. A análise desse material permite afirmar que os jovens militantes selecionam, se apropriam ou rejeitam alguns elementos políticos do passado, difusos sobre o território a partir de sua própria experiência social no universo da política. Sem refutar ou se submeter inteiramente às heranças do passado, os jovens militantes recriam diferentes relações políticas e novas configurações sociais.</span></p><div><p class="trans-title">YOUTH AND ASSOCIATIVE LIFE FROM THE PERIPHERIES OF SÃO PAULO</p><p>The present article focuses on the processes of political experience of young militants from the outskirts of the city of São Paulo, Brazil.

This study is grounded in the assumption that these actors have the opportunity to make use of past and present elements as they build up their own political repertoire. Although this article holds discussions with other works which approach militancy emphasizing the processes of political socialization, its analysys is centered around analytical subjectivity. The reflections presented here have been based on a multi-sited ethnographic research conducted in residens’ Associations over the three years material. It has been allowed to say by its analysis that young militants select, appropriate or reject some political elements of the past from their own social experiences in the political field.

Urban sprawl is a natural process of the cities‘ growth as consequence population growth. The population need a food, water and housing for survival and for its species to continue populating the land. The literature existing about urban sprawl considers a population growth causes impacts on people’s quality of life because they consume more food, water, electricity, transport for their locomotion, and other products and services. The fact is the urban sprawl and population growth are directly linked and can not be separated in any study on the subject. Sprawl is the process in which the spread of development across the landscape far outpaces population growth. This is article show the process Urban sprawl and consequences of poorly managed expansion the city São Paulo – Brazil. The phenomenon of sprawl there are several common characteristics pervading time in history from development the city of São Paulo. The phenomenon of sprawl the city of São Paulo is a common the any big city, the result of a complex set of interrelated socioeconomic and cultural forces. For example, land value is often considered the main driver of socioeconomic development patterns. However, at any time in the current or ancient history, land value is lower on the periphery and very expensive in urban centers. Other factors contribute to the occupation of land on the outskirts of large cities: existence of water and the quality of land for agriculture, the cost of keeping the dwelling lower when compared to the cost of the city center, the size of the land is larger at the beginning of the occupation.

Geodiversidade é uma nova abordagem ambiental que vem sendo utilizada na compreensão das relações entre homem e território e refere-se aos elementos abióticos que compõem o meio ambiente. Rochas são a expressão mais evidente dessa geodiversidade e seu aproveitamento como material nobre em arquitetura e engenharia civil remonta às primeiras construções humanas. São um reflexo da geodiversidade disponível numa região e imprimem nos cenários construídos uma característica particular de identidade cultural. Cemitérios são um universo que possibilita o entendimento do mundo dos vivos ao longo das diferentes épocas em que foi utilizado e o Cemitério Municipal de Curitiba é o mais antigo do município, recebendo visitação de pesquisadores e interessados nos aspectos arquitetônicos, históricos, artísticos e sociológicos. Esta proposta apresenta a geodiversidade deste cemitério como uma leitura sobre a evolução no uso de materiais líticos pela sociedade curitibana. As rochas registradas são mármores importados e nacionais, granitos do Paraná e São Paulo, e rochas negras como diabásio e gabro. Outras rochas estão presentes em menor quantidade e apresentam variedade de procedências. A proposição de tombamento deste cemitério como bem cultural vem recebendo aporte de várias pesquisas e, entre elas, este levantamento é um subsídio para este processo.Palavras-chave: CEMITÉRIO, GEODIVERSIDADE, TÚMULOS, CURITIBA ABSTRACTGEODIVERSITY IN CURITIBA MUNICIPAL CEMETERY AS CULTURAL ELEMENT IN HERITAGE ANALYSIS. Geodiversity is a new environmental approach that has been used to understanding the relations between man and territory and refers to the abiotic elements that form the environment.

It’s a reflection of geodiversity available in a region and print in the constructed scenarios a particular characteristic of cultural identity. Cemeteries are a universe that allows the understanding of the world of the living along the different periods in which it was used and the Curitiba Municipal Cemetery is the oldest of the city, receiving visiting researchers and those interested in architectural, historical, sociological and artistic features. This proposal introduces geodiversity of this cemetery as an approach on the evolution about uses of lithic materials by Curitiba society. Rocks registered are imported and national marbles, granites from Paraná and São Paulo, and black rocks like diabase and gabbro. Other rocks are present in smaller quantities and variety of sources.
