The question of empresas recuperadas has existed in Argentina since the end of the 1990s. These are fi rms ‘recovered' by workers who, in a context of political, social and economic crisis, and faced with the risk of structural unemployment, have opposed the closure of factories and have set in motion a process of recuperación in which the space of a factory and its relationship with the city is transformed and where the workers' collective reinvents itself as a ‘new' social organisation. Experiences are generated in this fashion which transform local communities, where the political dimension is closely connected with the dimension of action and collective action. The objective of this paper is to discuss the importance of considering social selforganisation practices in terms of their capacity to generate policies and to reinvent the use of land and the community by generating public effects and by providing adequate answers to solve collective problems.

This article examines the political possibilities for an aesthetic disruption of urban space and time. Locating the discussion within debates about the neoliberal city, selected art-works from Fierce live art festival in Birmingham, England are used in order to examine how, in a specific and localised context, normative spatial patterns and temporal rhythms can be challenged and subverted. The analysis draws on, and contributes to, a sociological account of the centrality of aesthetics to political and social organisation.

O artigo traz reflexões sobre a implementação do conceito de Economia Criativa no Brasil e, em particular, da transformação do Rio de Janeiro em Cidade Criativa. Essa transformação é visível através da realização de megaeventos mas torna invisíveis alguns dos potentes atores culturais e criativos da cidade. Apresentaremos a literatura que aborda esses temas assim como experiências alternativas de produção cultural e criativa – os Pontos de Cultura a nível nacional, alguns experimentos realizados na ESDI/UERJ e a criatividade multitudinária das manifestações – que conjugam as dimensões produtiva e política da Criatividade e podem fortalecer o Direito à Cidade num Rio espetacularizado. Creativity, conflict and right to the city in rio de janeiro spectacularizedAbstractThis article reflects on the implementation of the concept of Creative Economy in Brazil and, in particular, the transformation of Rio de Janeiro in Creative City. This transformation is visible through the realization of mega-events but makes invisible some of the powerful cultural and creative actors of the city. We present the literature that addresses these issues as well as alternative experiences of cultural and creative production - the Points of Culture in Brazil, some experiments in ESDI / UERJ and multitudinous creativity of the protests - which combine the productive and the political dimension of creativity and can strengthen the Right to the City in a spectacularized Rio de Janeiro.

This paper will address an issue that is not often discussed in the context of civic and democratic education – the shaping of political emotions. My main purpose is to outline pedagogical currents that are oriented towards cultivating the ability to identify with the suffering of the Other. This emotional identification is based on an ability to perceive structural processes that generate marginalisation and injustice and can serve as a basis for an affirmative, collective action. The thesis presented in this paper is that educational institutions should work towards fostering democratic and collective forms of subjectivity. Drawing on ideas from the existing literature I will discuss the political dimension of anger and the notion of critical pedagogy of compassion that are placed in a broader perspective of radically conceived solidarity.

O presente artigo, de escopo teórico a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, tem como objetivo problematizar o lazer no cotidiano urbano a partir da compreensão e da existência de territórios para sua vivência. A categoria território tem ganhado cada vez mais destaque nos estudos que discutem o espaço e as relações de poder que nele evidenciam os agentes de sua produção e condicionam a sua apropriação. Nesse sentido, pensar os espaços de lazer como territórios nos leva a refletir sobre a própria configuração do lazer nas cidades, suas contradições e disputas. Como resultados, foram identificadas duas tendências retratadas a partir de dois espaços emblemáticos nas cidades contemporâneas: a emergência do lazer em territórios do consumo – marcada por relações capitalistas de mercado e pela dimensão econômica, como nos shoppings centers; que tem se sobreposto ao lazer em territórios da cidadania – marcado pela busca de sua efetivação como um direito social e pela dimensão política, como nos espaços públicos de praças e parques. Compreende-se, assim, que as relações entre o lazer e seus espaços urbanos como territórios são permeadas por tensões e interesses divergentes que se refletem em sua apropriação cotidiana, contribuindo para ampliar as possíveis análises entre esses dois campos.   SPACES AND LEISURE EXPERIENCES IN THE CITY: building territories ABSTRACT  This article, with a theoretical scope based on bibliographical research, aims to problematize leisure in urban everyday life through the understanding and existence of territories for its experience. The territory category has gained more and more prominence in the studies that discuss the space and the relations of power that evidence the agents of its production and influence its appropriation. In this sense, thinking about leisure spaces and experiences in urban daily life leads us to reflect on the very configuration of leisure in cities, its contradictions and disputes. As results, two tendencies portrayed from two emblematic spaces in contemporary cities were identified: the emergence of leisure in territories of consumption – marked by capitalist relations of the market and by the economic dimension, like in shopping malls; which has overlapped leisure in territories of citizenship – marked by the search of its effectiveness as a social right and by the political dimension, like in public spaces such as squares and parks. It is realized, therefore, that the relations between leisure and its urban spaces as territories are permeated by divergent tensions and interests that are reflected in its daily appropriation, contributing to expand the possible analyzes between these two fields.

This article analyses the political dimension of volunteering in the context of austerity. It explores how the economic recession and the austerity measures taken by governments in the UK in recent years affect how volunteers define their engagement and whether they relate it to more political forms of collective action such as protest. The article analyses the narratives and life trajectories of volunteers active in five charities in the field of poverty alleviation in Leicester. It shows how the context of growing inequalities and austerity leads these actors to construct hybrid – ‘in-between’ – forms of engagement in which compassionate action is mixed with social and critical resilience based on collective empowerment processes. Furthermore, it shows that participants’ narratives about their own engagement are also ambivalent: they are based on a criticism of the disempowering consequences of austerity, but they sometimes tend to reproduce dominant discourses that blame the poor for their suffering. It argues that these ambivalences are inherent to narratives based on empowerment processes. The article concludes by suggesting how the focus on these ‘in-between’ forms of engagement – and their ambivalences – can reveal some of the changing features of collective action in contemporary societies.

This article aims to discuss the meanings attributed by the pedagogues from the Service of Coexistence and Strengthening of Bonds, in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, about the didactic planning process that they develop in their socio-educational routine. The article is based on research that had a qualitative approach inspired by the focus on symbolic interactionism. For data collection, structured questionnaires were answered by 15 educators who are part of the service in João Pessoa. To analyze the data, content analysis was used. It was possible to realize that planning is part of the daily life of the professionals surveyed, with an emphasis on the technical-operational framework of the Service of Coexistence and Strengthening of Bonds and on interests highlighted by the students. The political dimension related to the social meaning of the action they plan is not very evident, which can lead to the loss of transformative power of Social Education practices in the Service of Coexistence and Strengthening of Bonds.

The tradition of carnival-type street festivals and competitive dance troupes appears to be an old one in Luanda. In 1620, at the end of the most serious round of slave wars in Angola's history, political allegory and mimicry were included in the street processions celebrating the canonization of Saint Francis Xavier. In the nineteenth century the Creole community regularly adapted its public ceremonials to the shifting political and religious climate. In the age of white settlement, during the middle decades of the twentieth century, ‘native’ dance troops were officially encouraged until their potential nationalism was discerned. After independence, government tried to revive carnival for its own ends and according to its own calendar of state ceremonial. At one level the carnival continued to exorcise the fear of authority among the powerless. At another the political dimension was eclipsed by the competitive rivalries of local communities seeking identity and prestige. The structures continued to use the old ritual patterns of leadership with kings, queens, commanders and soldiers. Economic influence continued to be wielded by the great fishing families who invested important resources into conspicuous clothing and ceremonial feasting as they had done for centuries. The spectators responded at many different levels of appreciation.

Um protesto é uma forma de interpelar visualmente a paisagem das cidades. As diversas formas de comunicar e expressar visualmente a imaginação política em manifestações podem ser exploradas como uma maneira de compreender as relações entre imagem, identidade, política e estética. Este trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar registros e análises de visualidades produzidas para protestos ou marchas protagonizados por movimentos de mulheres ocorridos na cidade de Brasília entre os anos de 2019 e 2020. Observamos que além do repertório visual clássico das manifestações há uma multiplicidade estética, entre as quais identificamos (1) estética da violência e morte, (2) estética do empoderamento, (3) estética festiva, (4) estética da provocação, e (5) estéticas identitárias. O material demonstra formas visuais herdadas de outros movimentos de ação coletiva, a adaptação e inovação destas visualidades e a transnacionalização de repertórios.Palavras chave: Visualidade. Estética. Protesto. Feminismo. Brasília.  WOMEN’S MARCHS AND PROTESTS IN BRASILIA: VISUALITIES AND AESTHETICS Abstract: A protest is a way to visually interpellate the landscape of cities. The various forms of communicate and visually express the political imagination in manifestations can be explored as a way to understand the relationships between image, identity, politics and aesthetics. This paper aims to present records and analysis of visualities produced for protests or marches protagonized by women's movements that occurred in the city of Brasilia between the years 2019 and 2020. We observed that besides the classic visual repertoire of the protests there is an aesthetic multiplicity, among which we identify (1) aesthetics of violence and death, (2) aesthetics of empowerment, (3) festive aesthetics, (4) aesthetics of provocation, and (5) identitarian aesthetics. The material demonstrates visual forms inherited from other collective action movements, the adaptation and innovation of these visualities, and the transnationalization of repertoires.Keywords: Visuality. Aesthetics. Protest. Feminism. Brasília.

This chapter considers accounts of the situation in Buenos Aires in the wake of the 1930 global economic crisis on Buenos Aires. Historians have painted divergent pictures of porteño society and the political and economic turbulence that played out. There are two distinct (and rather disconnected) methods of periodization that yield two very different narratives. The first perspective views 1930 as a year of structural change, the passage between a relatively worry-free decade and one of unprecedented drama and complexity. The second narrative, largely centered in the city of Buenos Aires, works around the notion of an “interwar” period. In this view, the period from 1920 to 1945 is bookended by two major transformations: the rise of the demographic and agro-exportation boom on the one hand, and Peronism on the other.
