Latinoamérica Go.es es un proyecto de investigación multidisciplinar sobre las distintas apropiaciones culturales que se dan en el espacio público por parte de las comunidades latinoamericanas que viven en Madrid (2011-2015). El trabajo surge de una colaboración conjunta entre los colectivos Arquitectura Expandida (Bogotá) y Elgatoconmoscas (Madrid). El objetivo del presente artículo es analizar e interpretar los resultados de este estudio centrando la atención en las distintas estrategias de aproximación que fueron llevadas a cabo a través del arte de acción, todo ello documentado audiovisualmente (documental, videoarte). Las distintas intervenciones artísticas que componen la investigación: Ecuavóley, Carrito-barbacoa y Corte latino funcionan como piezas independientes, pero han sido compiladas y exhibidas conjuntamente en el proyecto expositivo C.I.T.I., bajo el título de El evento es fuera a modo de publicación de resultados. Lo que se pretende es subrayar la importancia del componente experiencial en un estudio sobre eventos cultuales puramente vivenciales.

The Church

Latin America was considered for many years the main bastion of Catholicism in the world by the number of parishioners and the influence of the church in the social and political life of the región, but in recent times there has been a decrease in the catholicity index. This paper explores three variables that have modified the identity of Catholicism in Latin American countries. The first one refers to the conversion processes that have expanded the presence of Christian denominations, by analyzing the reasons that revolve around the sense of belonging that these communities offer and that prop up their expansion and growth. The second variable accounts for those Catholics who still belong to the Catholic Church but who in their practices and beliefs have incorporated other magical or esoteric scheme in the form of religious syncretisms, modifying their sense of being Catholics in the world. The third factor has a political reference and has to do with the concept of laicism, a concept that sets its objective, not only in the separation of the State from the Church, but for historical reasons in catholicity restraint in the public space which has led to the confinement of the Catholic to the private, leaving other religious groups to occupy that space.

ResumenLos centros históricos latinoamericanos, unas de las creaciones más interesantes de nuestra cultura, se enfrentan a profundas mutaciones físicas, sociales, funcionales, medioambientales y sobre todo paisajísticas. El paisaje del espacio público como lugar descubierto, generalmente rodeado de edificios, decorado por estatuas, fuentes, áreas de estancia, vegetación, etc., y destinado al embellecimiento de una ciudad, ha sido concebido para que los ciudadanos se reúnan a percibir la ciudad y a observar el espectáculo arquitectónico de sus principales edificios monumentales. El objetivo de la presente investigación es proponer una nueva metodología para la valoración de la calidad visual del paisaje urbano en áreas de interés patrimonial, considerada desde la visión, que se complementa con otros atributos físico-ambientales, visual-estéticos y socio-psicológicos. Adicionalmente, la calidad visual constituye un componente de la calidad ambiental y de la vida urbana que fomenta el sentido de pertenencia de las personas con su medio natural y construido. Su aplicación a los espacios patrimoniales latinoamericanos lo convierten en una nueva herramienta metodológica para su adaptación.AbstractThe historical centers of Latin America, some of the most interesting creations of our culture, face profound physical, social, functional, environmental and especially landscape changes. The landscape of the public space as a discovered place, generally surrounded by buildings, decorated by statues, fountains, living areas, vegetation, etc., and intended to beautify a city, has been conceived so that citizens come together to perceive the city and to observe the architectural spectacle of its main monumental buildings. The objective of this research is to propose a new methodology for the assessment of the visual quality of the urban landscape in areas of heritage interest, considered from the perspective, which is complemented with other physical-environmental, visual-aesthetic and socio-psychological attributes. Additionally, visual quality constitutes a component of environmental quality and urban life that fosters people's sense of belonging to their natural and built environment. Its application to Latin American heritage spaces make it a new methodological tool for its adaptation.

Interior Environments

Architect Manuel de Solà-Morales was one of the first designers to stress the importance of public interiors – places that are used as public spaces although they might belong to a private owner.1 Examples are libraries, hospitals or shopping malls. However, included within the concept of the public interior are also publicly owned spaces such as arcades, passages and inner courtyards, as well as collective outdoor public areas that provide shelter such as bus shelters (Figure1).These are spaces that Kristiaan Borret, the former city architect for Antwerp, describes as ‘secondary public spaces’. They differ from the so called ‘primary public spaces’, that is to say the actual streets, market places and squares.2 Complex interior environments are often subject to commercial logic or developer standards, factors that tend to make them less public. The layout of public interiors ought to be considered a challenging field of design and research, but this is not always the case. Where the ‘primary public space’, in particular, has long been the focus of research within the scholarly field of urban design and urbanism, existing research into public interiors proves to be fragmented. While ‘toolboxes’ for urban planners have been established, they lack the perspectives traditionally found in the field of interior architecture and interior design, such as user-relations, atmospheric variables and furniture design.Yet these considerations are particularly relevant to the conditions found within public interiors. Besides defining the term ‘public interior’, this paper aims to contribute to the development of an interdisciplinary design approach by exploring various methods for the analysis of ‘the public interior’ in the fields of urbanism, architecture, interior design and related academic fields.

Religion in the public space constitutes a structuring issue of the contemporary debates of the social sciences of religion. This article mobilizes part of that literature, circumscribing it to the Latin American context. In that attempt, we work in two dimensions. First, we present how, from the historical and political configurations of our region in the debate, problems and questions about the public space are addressed distant from those commonly encountered when the empirical reference corresponds to the United States-Europe map. The aim is to explore the regional particularities for an effort to theoretically and methodologically strengthen the analysis of this topic. The second dimension contemplated in the text is the presentation of concrete empirical situations in which religion in public space is condensed as a controversy, that mobilize and is mobilized by different actors: politicians, religious, academics, media. These two dimensions go through the thematic issue that follows this article.

Cctv Surveillance

Abstract: This article examines newspaper coverage about closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance in Canada and considers its implications for public opinion and policymaking. The study addresses several issues, including the rise and fall of media attention to the themes that structure the news coverage and patterns of source access and the implications of these themes for how citizens understand the role of surveillance in their lives. As more Canadian cities explore using CCTV surveillance as a policing tool for monitoring public space, news coverage should strive to enhance the public conversation about surveillance. The data reported in this study show that the coverage has been a very poor resource for helping citizens and policymakers to understand the complex issues involved in the surveillance of public areas in Canada.Résumé : Cet article examine des reportages dans les journaux sur la surveillance par télévision en circuit fermé au Canada et considère leurs implications pour l’opinion publique et la formulation de politiques. Cette étude traite de plusieurs questions, y compris l’essor et la chute de l’attention portée dans les médias aux thèmes pertinents qui organisent les reportages et l’accès aux sources, ainsi que l’effet de ces thèmes sur la manière dont les citoyens comprennent le rôle de la surveillance dans leurs vies. À mesure que de plus en plus de villes canadiennes se tournent vers la télévision en circuit fermé comme outil pour surveiller les espaces publics, les reportages devraient s’efforcer davantage de contribuer à la conversation publique sur la surveillance. Les données rapportées dans cette étude montrent que les reportages à ce jour se sont avéré une ressource assez pauvre pour aider les citoyens et les responsables politiques à mieux comprendre les enjeux complexes relatifs à la surveillance de lieux publics au Canada.

The trend towards desegregated women’s and men’s toilets, including installing Gender Neutral Toilets (GNTs), and the implications of revisions to the Gender Recognition Act for women-only spaces, have brought into focus the pre-existing lack of female toilet provision in the UK. Looking at the problem from a town planning perspective, I argue that austerity-driven cuts are coming together with GNT provision to reshape the public toilet landscape in ways that continue to be detrimental to women. Typically women are only provided with half as many facilities as men, resulting in queues for the Ladies, and GNT provision based on relabelling rather than redesigned or additional provision can, in fact, increase competition for the cubicles in the Ladies. The historical, legislative and cultural reasons for this inequality are explored, along with the different types of public toilet and the different requirements of male and female users. The article draws on previous research project findings, many of which foreshadow the problems currently coming to the fore as a result of toilet desegregation. In conclusion, recommendations are made as to how to deal with the conundrum of providing adequate facilities for all women and men, whilst providing all sorts of individuals with choice and privacy to create inclusive, accessible cities for all.

Abstract This work presents reflections on the field of participatory democracy in Latin America, based on the analysis of the experiences of Cotacachi in Ecuador, and Torres in Venezuela, which are examples of great popular participation at the local level. The study proposes to interpret the experiences from a Latin American point of view, considering the singularities of each municipality analyzed. The aim is to identify which factors contribute to the emergence and consolidation of mechanisms of participation in the public policy decision-making process. In order to approximate the democratic theory of the context of Latin America, the study presents an analysis structured in two relevant concepts for the theory: agency and public space. These concepts were essential to identify which factors allowed the creation and consolidation of practices of participatory democracy at the local level. The analysis of the experiences resulted in a list of seven factors that were fundamental for their advancement and diffusion, factors that may represent important guidelines for the development of new democratic practices in countries of the region. Finally, the study present some reflections on the challenges that must be overcome to expand the local power and popular participation in Latin America.
