El presente estudio busca comprender bajo un enfoque naturalista cómo en un periodo denominado por autores de las Ciencias Sociales ( Bajoit, 2009; Sandoval, 2010) de “cambio cultural”, emerge el movimiento Hip Hop y su particular forma de expresión en la ciudad de Punta Arenas. La investigación tiene un objetivo central y busca interpretar la relación entre la expresión contracultural y los jóvenes que son parte de tal, como así también sus significados respecto al ser actores del mismo. La investigación pretende identificar, entonces, la lógica de acción actual de los jóvenes y a su vez dilucidar si existe relación o no con la raíz histórica del movimiento Hip Hop, es decir una expresión de disidencia en razón de la estructura social establecida y las contradicciones que afloran de la misma.

AbstractThis chapter provides a comprehensive overview of the socio-economic segregation in London. The cosmopolitan nature of the city means there is an interwoven complexity that prevents the separation of social, cultural and economic residential trajectories of the population. As a result, the chapter explores socio-economic segregation within the context of the changing nature of the (sub)urban contexts. In particular, the chapter documents not only the occupational segregation but also introduces the often-used dimension of ethnicity and pairs it with the less commonly explored age and tenure dimensions through which the social structure of the city is inscribed. This enables a broader understanding of the rapid changes that have been wrought on the micro-scale can be understood in the context of a city that has, in terms of the overall composition, changed little.

We start with the question of city definition and we present the concept as it is normally accepted in geography. That means focusing in concentration, centrality and services, besides the fact that the city is a social-economic process and a spatial form. The first component however raises the question of territorial appropriation and identification of space by users. Urbanization implies transformation, thus in the second part we refer to the most important components of the urban change. They run between opposite trends that almost enable the prediction o f the future for the cityscapes, once they are concentration and descentralization, growth and decline, global homogeneity and place differentiation. We look at them through the modifications they have in the urban land or in the social structure.

This study intends to gauge the framework of factors and mechanisms that contributed to the restructuring of social setup of Greater Muscat and the thereof ensuing economic, social and environmental disparities between the different residential quarters of the city. In order to produce an approximated model of the old and contemporary social structure of the city, the study used field surveys, interviews, real-estate values and types of housing, in addition to available official data. The study demonstrates clearly that locational criteria of the distribution of households in urban space have shifted from the traditional social values and practices towards predominantly economic estimates that are governed by the environmental comparative advantage of the site, the location attributes, the social content and the level of social amenities. As a result, socio-spatial fragmentation became very conspicuous in the urban space. The study suggests a number of recommendations as regarding urban sprawl, real-estate speculation, gated communities, and the renovation and rehabilitation of deteriorating residential quarters.

Ancient cities are hierarchical in the social structure and acquire a definite social structure in the process of its development. Zamoskvorechye (the area beyond the Moscow River) on the map of Moscow is separated by the river and opposed to the center with its architectural composition and historical social structure. The center of Zamoskvorechye is the Kadashevskaya Sloboda (Kadashi settlement) making the basis of compositional construction of the entire district. The dominant of composition is the Church of the Resurrection of Christ in Kadashi, a unique monument of architecture of the XVII century. On the territory of the settlement exists the 401th quarter with the historical objects located in it. The authors carried out a historical-sociological and architectural-historical study of the homesteads located in the area of the Resurrection Church. Most of the parish of the temple in the XVIII–early XX centuries belonged to the merchant stratum. With the liquidation of settlements, social strata have changed. The authors calculated the estate and professional composition of inhabitants of the quarter in various eras, the graphs of the quantitative ratio of estates and professions of the composition of inhabitants of 401th quarter of the Kadashevskaya Sloboda are presented. The growth of interests and opportunities of the inhabitants is evidenced by the research data of V.P. Pushkov and L.V. Pushkov. The distribution of functional use of buildings and sections of the quarter in the XX–XXI centuries is analyzed. Certain houses and homesteads have survived to the present day. One of them is the house of merchant D.R. Olenev. The tragic fate befell the historical building “house of the deacon”—a sample of the main house of the city homestead, transferred to the Resurrection Church “for eternal remembrance”. On the territory of the 401th quarter was the famous sausage factory of Nikolay Grigoriev, the locally revered saint of the Yaroslavl region. Directly on the territory of the temple is located the house of merchant M.P. Krupennikov, in which today exists a Museum “Kadashevskaya Sloboda”. In the XXI century the commercial development threatens the historical and architectural appearance of the quarter.

Stratification of the cemetery’s space reflects the social structure of the city, revealing an internal hierarchy, the worldview and the tastes of the inhabitants. The message that a headstone conveys is a resultant of the communication intended by those who commissioned it and the historical context. The means of visual expression, as well as the nature of the embellishments are the necessary tools for its reading. This text is concerned with the possibilities of analysing and interpreting historical forms found at the Jewish cemetery in Łódź, taking into account the time when they were created, the location, the patron and the historical context.
