Abstract. The massive use of contemporary information and communication technology as digital platforms and social networks are ruling social dynamics from urban spaces urban spaces in a remarkable manner. The digital layer of cities became a bidirectional and omnipresent path, creating relational and interactional structures able to exchange data and media. This networked city may be analyzed and debated as a complex open system that demands research concerning communicational plurality and development of urban space representation, considering the increasing of informational and communicational density. Digital traces from social networks developed in PortoAlegre.cc, a collaborative web map registering issues and use of urban space, were used as data input for this research. Social network analysis was used as method for network structures evaluation. The results reveal short paths among network elements, shaped by structures following Small World model. The analysis showed efficient networks for data exchange increasing informational and communicational density. This work contribution is focused on presenting alternative approaches and perspectives for this multidisciplinary area, enhancing the debate about urban space by rethinking its representation and collective knowledge.

A presente pesquisa oferece uma abordagem alternativa para a visão da segregação como processo de afastamento entre classes sociais pela produção de zonas de habitação segregadas. As rotinas sociais, formadas pela montagem dos percursos e atividades típicas das classes em função de diferentes lógicas e padrões de apropriação, estruturarão redes sociais distintas dentro de um mesmo sistema urbano. A segregação assim é observada na incompatibilidade ou pouca sobreposição das redes sociais constituídas pelas ações dos indivíduos sobre o espaço urbano, conformando-se como fenômeno dinâmico. Esta visão da segregação não como áreas segregadas mas como ação e apropriação dos espaços da cidade possibilita mensurar quanto há de segregação em uma cidade. O modelo mostra a dinâmica das classes sobre o espaço urbano, e o conseqüente panorama da segregação social, visualizado na sobreposição das redes (como um mapa dinâmico da segregação), resultando na propriedade do Nível de Segregação Urbana.Palavras-chave: segregação social; redes sociais; dinâmica das classes; modelagem. Abstract: The current work intends to propose a different approach to the phenomenon of segregation, usually analyzed as social distance motivated by the production of segregated areas. The individuals routines – made of typical-by-class daily activities and movement structure, based on different logics and patterns of social appropriation – will constitute social networks of class appropriation defined by specific income levels. Therefore, the notion of social segregation can be taken as particular dynamic networks, barely superimposed. The whole process gives a dynamic view on the phenomenon. The notion of segregation viewed not as segregated areas but as segregated appropriation on urban spaces (grid and attractors) permits to measure the level of segregation of a town. The model shows the classes dynamics on urban space and the panorama of social segregation, upon the level of superimposition of the different networks over the same urban macrostructure – resulting in the property of Urban Segregational Level.Keywords: social segregation; social networks; classes dynamics; modeling.

The Relationship

Si pensamos en la relación del espacio urbano contemporáneo con la luz, debemos hablar de dinámicas sociales dentro de las metrópolis contemporáneas y de cómo estos suponen un paradigma de la transformación tecnológica y social respecto a los media dentro del espacio urbano. Esto ha culminado con la conversión de las pantallas basadas en tecnología LCD en parte del medio en el cual nos desenvolvemos socialmente mediante las redes sociales. Por otro lado el lugar se diluye dentro de imágenes virtuales, dislocadas y descontextualizadas, convirtiendo la ciudad en un interfaz comunicativo, y lo visual en una experiencia espacial. Es por ello que es de especial interés analizar este fenómeno en el cual entran en juego elementos que afectan a los marcos constitutivos de nuestras experiencias sociales e identitarias dentro de un espacio variable y contingente, gracias al cual se está produciendo un desplazamiento de los usos dentro de la esfera pública, generando nuevas formas de espectáculo que producen nuevas políticas de vigilancia del otro.Palabras-Clave: TIMES SQUARE; IDENTIDAD; REDES SOCIALES; PANTALLAS URBANAS; ESPACIO PÚBLICO Identity and hegemony: Times Square and the amateur productionAbstractIf we think about the relationship of contemporary urban space and light, we must talk about social dynamics within contemporary cities and how these represent a paradigm of technological and social transformation with respect to the media in the urban space. This has culminated in the conversion of LCD technology screens into part on the environment in which we operate through social networks. On the other hand the place is diluted into virtual images, dislocated and decontextualized, turning the city into a communicative interface, and the visual in a spatial experience. That’s why it’s especially interesting to analyze this phenomenon in which elements come into play affecting the constituent frames of our social experience and identity in a variable and contingent space, through which it is producing a shift of uses within public sphere, creating new forms of entertainment that produce new surveillance policies of the other.Keywords: TIMES SQUARE; IDENTITY; SOCIAL NETWORKS; URBAN SCREENS; PUBLIC SPACE

The article discusses the influences of ICT mass usage, specially the Internet, on citizen's relations with the government and urban space. Recent advances on ICT are encouraging new forms of socialization, consumption, production, citizenship, and activism. Citizens are showing willingness to act and influence urban structures. They organize themselves in the virtual world, but think and act on the physical space. Brazilian examples of public manifestations and online activism initiatives originated or supported by social media and social networks illustrate the theory around ICT. The article concludes that new interfaces are emerging between citizens, the government, and urban spaces.

Walking Activity

This systematic review aimed to investigate the type of physical activity carried out in green urban spaces by the adult population and to value its impact on the population’s health. Additionally, another purpose was to examine if the presence of outdoor gyms in green urban spaces can promote participation in physical activity among adults. Searches of electronic databases, with no time restrictions and up to June 2020, resulted in 10 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. A quantitative assessment is reported as effect size. Many people practiced walking activity as a workout, which showed improvements in health. Walking is the most popular type of training due to its easy accessibility and it not requiring equipment or special skills. Outdoor fitness equipment has been installed in an increasing number of parks and has become very popular worldwide. Further, outdoor fitness equipment provides free access to fitness training and seems to promote physical activity in healthy adults. However, other studies about outdoor fitness equipment efficiency are needed. People living near to equipped areas are more likely to perform outdoor fitness than those who live further away. The most common training programs performed in green urban spaces included exercises with free and easy access, able to promote physical health and perception.

AbstractThe Anglo-Saxon mappa mundi, sometimes known as the Cotton map or Cottoniana, is found on folio 56v of London, British Library, Cotton Tiberius B. v, which dates from the first half of the eleventh century. This unique survivor from the period presents a detailed image of the inhabited world, centred on the Mediterranean. The map’s distinctive cartography, with its emphasis on islands, seas and urban spaces, reflects an Insular, West Saxon geographic imagination. As Evelyn Edson has observed, the mappa mundi appears to be copy of an earlier, larger map. This article argues that the mappa mundi’s focus on urban space, translatio imperii and Scandinavia is reminiscent of the Old English Orosius, and that it originates from a similar milieu. The mappa mundi’s northern perspective, together with its obvious dependence on and emulation of Carolingian cartography, suggest that its lost exemplar originated in the assertive England of the earlier tenth century.

Aesthetic Characteristics

In recent decades, research has paid attention to the atmospheric ways computer-generated imagery (CGI) marks the experience of future urban design. What has been addressed in the generic abbreviation CGI has, however, exclusively concerned visualisations that communicate with stakeholders beyond designers and architects. Based on fieldwork within an urban design lab, the paper differentiates among the range of CGI used by urban designers. Focusing on collage, which forms one kind of CGI that has received scant attention in scholarly literature, I demonstrate its key function as an epistemological in-house work-in-progress tool that helps designers to refine their vision and to identify the atmosphere of future urban spaces. Based on New Aesthetics, collaging atmosphere is characterised by a physiognomic approach to urban space that selectively addresses aesthetic characteristics. Hence, the paper tackles a discussion that points towards cautious handling of the communicative scope of collages that can be well complemented by other types of CGI before entering a constructive dialogue with clients.

This article suggests that over recent decades Catalan literary criticism has paid too little attention to the aesthetic attributes of Catalan literature and emphasised the social, political and cultural at the expense of discussions of narrative poetics. Through an analysis of Montserrat Roig’s metaphorical use of the city in her first novel Ramona, adéu, I put forward the view that the aesthetic features of Catalan literature need to be re-claimed. This article provides a critical analysis of the aesthetic importance of Roig’s representation of the city in her first novel and argues that she uses Barcelona as a critical tool through which to explore questions of both female emancipation and aesthetic freedom. Following a detailed discussion of Roig’s descriptions of how her female characters interact with particular urban spaces, I examine how Roig makes subtle shifts in her semantic register during these narrative accounts when her prose moves into the realm of the poetic. I conclude that this technique enables us to read her accounts of urban space as metaphors for aesthetic freedom and are inextricably linked to her wider concerns on the importance of liberating Catalan literature from the discourse of political nationalism.
