Resumen El término homosexual condensó entre 1950 y 1990 en Uruguay una yuxtaposición de sentidos muy distintos y fue objeto de fuertes disputas. Este artículo buscar rastrear esos sentidos analizando cómo fue variando la etiología de la homosexualidad en el discurso psiquiátrico, la relación entre este y la clase social en el campo de la izquierda de los años sesenta, así como el régimen autoritario lo incluyó dentro de la categoría de subversión. El trabajo se cierra con el análisis de la proliferación de nuevos sentidos que vivió la palabra homosexual durante la transición democrática: para muchos fue sinónimo de VIH-SIDA de travestis y de indefinición, mientras que para otros fue intercambiable con el término gay y se constituyó en una identidad social legítima sostenida con orgullo en el espacio público a través de diferentes tipos de acción colectiva. Palabras clave Historia conceptual; homosexual; Uruguay. SummaryThe term homosexual condensed between 1950 and 1990 in Uruguay a juxtaposition of very different meanings and was the object of strong disputes. This article seeks to trace these meanings by analyzing the variations in the etiology of homosexuality in psychiatric discourse, the relationship between this discourse and social class in the left of the 1960s, and how the authoritarian regime included it within the category of subversion. The work ends with the analysis of the proliferation of new meanings the word homosexual underwent during the democratic transition – for many it was synonymous with HIV-AIDS, transvestites and indefinition, while for others it was interchangeable with the term gay and turned into a legitimate social identity held with pride in the public space through different types of collective action.

El cambio de modelo urbano asumido durante el siglo XX, trajo un sinnúmero de problemas como la priorización del vehículo, por lo que en la última década han surgido esfuerzos para dotar de importancia al ciudadano de a pie, en el espacio público. Esta investigación estudió las condiciones físico-espaciales de un corredor urbano donde el modelo centrado en el vehículo se acentúa, con la fnalidad de generar posibles estrategias que reviertan esta situación. Se tomó como caso de estudio a la Av. 24 de Mayo, en Azogues, y se lo analizó mediante una metodología mixta, que evaluó, detalladamente, tres zonas de estudio, determinando que la falta de accesibilidad y conectividad y el modelo de movilidad defendido por la ciudadanía, en general, infuyen directamente en las condiciones del espacio público peatonal y por ende en la habitabilidad urbana, perjudicando los desplazamientos a pie. Palabras clave: Espacio público; habitabilidad urbana; conectividad; accesibilidad; percepción.

Resumo: Este artigo tem como objetivo estudar a relação entre lugar e espaço público no contexto da realização de Batalhas de MC em praças de Belém, Pará. Justificamos a realização deste trabalho pela necessidade de compreendermos as ações do movimento hip hop a partir das particularidades dos seus sujeitos, aqui analisadas com base nas suas diferenças, portadoras de identidades espaciais afetivas: seus lugares. A complexidade espacial das periferias de Belém sugere que as demandas que surgem das vivências desses sujeitos contêm riquíssimas informações acerca da potencialidade política desses encontros. Foi realizado um levantamento bibliográfico acerca do tema, com o objetivo de obter um panorama do campo de estudos, assim como trabalhos de campo de cunho etnográfico, o que permitiu perceber que o lugar possui destacada importância na realização destes eventos no espaço público, por serem fonte das particularidades que permitirão o encontro de diferenças no espaço, promovendo ações políticas que o definem e reafirmando suas próprias existências.

El presente artículo da cuenta de los principales resultados y reflexiones de un proceso de intervención e investigación desarrollado en torno a la percepción que los residentes de dos barrios tienen del espacio público, las imágenes asociadas a este espacio y si se constituye como una dimensión importante en la configuración de su ciudad; todo ello, considerando el contexto de construcción de estos espacios. Este estudio se realiza asumiendo que lo público se define a partir de los usos del espacio y no a partir de su estatuto jurídico, relevando la importancia de los significados que le asignan los sujetos.

The strong relationship between social class and partisan choice is one of the most extensively documented facts of British political life; but that relationship declined markedly during the 1960s, as Butler and Stokes have shown. Their lucid documentation of the declining class–party nexus is among the major findings of the second edition of their book, and, as class-based partisanship is particularly low among the young, many might conclude that the relationship between class and party will continue to decline in future. It would, however, be premature to reach this conclusion.

Public spaces are designed and managed in many different ways. In Hanoi, after the Doi moi policy in 1986, the transfer of the public spaces creation at the neighborhood-level to the private sector has prospered na-ture of public and added a large amount of public space for the city, directly impacting on citizen's daily life, creating a new trend, new concept of public spaces. This article looks forward to understanding the public spaces-making and operating in KDTMs (Khu Do Thi Moi - new urban areas) in Hanoi to answer the question of whether ‘socialization’/privatization of these public spaces will put an end to the urban public or the new means of public-making trend. Based on the comparison and literature review of studies in the world on public spaces privatization with domestic studies to see the differences in the Vietnamese context leading to differences in definitions and roles and the concept of public spaces in KDTMs of Hanoi. Through adducing and analyzing practical cases, the article also mentions the trends, the issues, the ways and the technologies of public-making and public-spaces-making in KDTMs of Hanoi. Win/loss and the relationship of the three most important influential actors in this process (municipality, KDTM owners, inhabitants/citizens) is also considered to reconceptualize the public spaces of KDTMs in Hanoi.

The relationship between law and religion in contemporary civil society has been a topic of increasing social interest and importance in Canada in the past many years. We have seen the practices and commitments of religious groups and individuals become highly salient on many issues of public policy, including the nature of the institution of marriage, the content of public education, and the uses of public space, to name just a few. As the vehicle for this discussion, I want to ask a straightforward question: When we listen to our public discourse, what is the story that we hear about the relationship between law and religion? How does this topic tend to be spoken about in law and politics – what is our idiom around this issue – and does this story serve us well? Though straightforward, this question has gone all but unanswered in our political and academic discussions. We take for granted our approach to speaking about – and, therefore, our way of thinking about – the relationship between law and religion. In my view, this is most unfortunate because this taken-for-grantedness is the source of our failure to properly understand the critically important relationship between law and religion.

Healthcare communications is a niche area of the professional communication field that has been studied from a social identity perspective by several researchers. In this qualitative study, interviews and documents were collected to evaluate the relationship between internal communications and social identity at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto, Ontario. Results showed a process of internal communications management that began with planning communications, moved through implementation and then involved measuring communications practices and planning for future changes. Throughout this process, the ‘unique identity’ of St. Michael’s Hospital was used as an inspiration for communications planning, messaging and measurement in order to reinforce a valid identity for employees. Moving forward, the public affairs and communications department could further expand their staff training and measurement tools in order to further solidify their status as an adaptive communications system.
