O presente trabalho estuda a gestão público-privada dos modais do sistema de transportes coletivos da cidade do Rio de Janeiro nos últimos trinta anos. Ou seja, investiga as práticas patrimonialistas e suas contradições que permeiam os processos de concessões e privatizações, os quais são, por vezes, marcados pela efetivação de domínios territoriais urbanos e extração de rendas monopolistas, de modo a dificultar uma mobilidade universal. Assim, se desenvolve um diálogo entre a perspectiva crítica de estudos urbanos e o pensamento social brasileiro, a fim de englobar a totalidade espacial, desvelar os mecanismos invisíveis da ordem distante, e trazer as especificidades das conjunturas políticas e econômicas brasileiras. Neste sentido, nos são caros, por um lado, os conceitos de patrimonialismo e formação social em autores como Weber (2004) e Faoro (1993, 2001); e, de outro, os conceitos de produção do espaço, empresariamento urbano e mobilidade urbana. Além disso, em termos metodológicos, a pesquisa lançou mão de levantamento bibliográfico e documental, exame das licitações, e análise dos relatórios das Comissões Parlamentares de Inquérito (CPI) das Barcas e dos Transportes/Ônibus.Palavras-chave: Mobilidade Urbana, Neoliberalismo, Patrimonialismo.Abstract This paper studies the public-private management of the modalities of the collective transportation system of the city of Rio de Janeiro in the last thirty years. That is, it investigates the patrimonial practices and their contradictions that permeate the processes of concessions and privatisations, which are sometimes marked by the realisation of urban territorial domains and the extraction of monopoly incomes, in order to hinder universal mobility. Thus, a dialogue is developed between the critical perspective of urban studies and Brazilian social thought, in order to encompass the spatial totality, to unveil the invisible mechanisms of the distant order, and to bring the specificities of the Brazilian political and economic conjunctures. In this sense, we are expensive, on the one hand, the concepts of patrimonialism and social formation in authors like Weber (2004) and Faoro (1993, 2001); and, on the other hand, the concepts of space production, urban entrepreneurship and urban mobility. Also, in methodological terms, the research has used bibliographical and documentary surveys, an examination of bids, and analysis of the reports of the Parliamentary Commissions of Inquiry (CPI) of Barges and Transport / Buses.Keywords: Urban Mobility, Neoliberalism, Patrimonialism.

A compreensão do contexto no qual se realizam práticas profissionais é essencial para o trabalho do terapeuta ocupacional. Assim, buscando compreender o território e o público com o qual atua, o projeto de extensão “Juventude(s): intervenções de arte-cultura no território”, do Departamento de Terapia Ocupacional da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, apresenta-se uma revisão integrativa da literatura com o objetivo de apreender as produções bibliográficas acumuladas voltadas especificamente sobre a juventude moradora do Complexo do Alemão, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. Foram realizadas buscas na Web of Science, SocIndex, Scopus, Scielo e no Portal de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES, em setembro de 2017, com a combinação de descritores “Complexo do Alemão” AND “young" OR “youth”. Após a aplicação de critérios de inclusão, foram estudadas 11 publicações divididas em categorias temáticas de discussão, a saber: (1) Representação do Complexo do Alemão pela mídia; (2) As questões do território influenciando a prática de diferentes profissionais e (3) As representações dos jovens moradores do Complexo do Alemão sobre as UPPs (Unidade de Polícia Pacificadora). Conclui-se que os textos demonstram aspectos já conhecidos acerca do cotidiano dos jovens moradores de favelas, como a influência da violência e dos estigmas relacionados àquele território. Contudo, existem outras questões importantes a serem abordadas em futuras práticas e pesquisas naquele contexto, como cultura, educação, relações sociais e territoriais, mobilidade urbana, participação política, dentre muitas outras abordagens da juventude contemporânea do Complexo do Alemão.AbstractUnderstanding the context in which professional practices are performed is essential to the work of the occupational therapist. Thus, seeking to understand the territory and the public with which it operates the extension project "Youth(s): interventions of art-culture in the territory" of the Department of Occupational Therapy of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, an integrative review is presented of the literature with the objective of apprehending the accumulated bibliographic productions focused specifically on the resident youth of Complexo do Alemão, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. We searched the Web of Science, SocIndex, Scopus, Scielo and the CAPES Thesis and Dissertations Portal in September 2017 with the combination of descriptors "Complexo do Alemão" AND "young" OR "youth". After the application of inclusion criteria, we studied 11 publications divided into thematic categories of discussion:  (1) Representation of the Complexo do Alemão by the media, (2) Territorial issues influencing the practice of different professionals, and (3) Representations of the young people living in the Complexo do Alemão on the UPPs (Pacifying Police Unit). The texts show that there are aspects already known about the daily lives of young people living in favelas, such as the influence of violence and stigmas related to that territory. Other important issues to be addressed in future practices and research in that context, such as culture, education, social and territorial relations, urban mobility, political participation, among many other approaches of the contemporary youth of Complexo do Alemão.Key words: Complexo do Alemão; Every-day life; Favela; Territory; Youth.ResumenLa comprensión del contexto en el que se realizan prácticas profesionales es esencial para el trabajo del terapeuta ocupacional.

AbstractWith the present paper I would like to discuss a particular form of procession which we may term mocking parades, a collective ritual aimed at ridiculing cultic objects from competing religious communities. The cases presented here are contextualized within incidents of pagan/Christian violence in Alexandria between the 4th and 5th centuries, entailing in one case the destruction of the Serapeum and in another the pillaging of the Isis shrine at Menouthis on the outskirts of Alexandria. As the literary accounts on these events suggest, such collective forms of mockery played an important role in the context of mob violence in general and of violence against sacred objects in particular. However, while historiographical and hagiographical sources from the period suggest that pagan statues underwent systematic destruction and mutilation, we can infer from the archaeological evidence a vast range of uses and re-adaptation of pagan statuary in the urban space, assuming among other functions that of decorating public spaces. I would like to build on the thesis that the parading of sacred images played a prominent role in the discourse on the value of pagan statuary in the public space. On the one hand, the statues carried through the streets became themselves objects of mockery and violence, involving the population of the city in a collective ritual of exorcism. On the other hand, the images paraded in the mocking parades could also become a means through which the urban space could become subject to new interpretations. Entering in visual contact with the still visible vestiges of the pagan past, with the temples and the statuary of the city, the “image of the city” became affected itself by the images paraded through the streets, as though to remind the inhabitants that the still-visible elements of Alexandria’s pagan topography now stood as defeated witnesses to Christianity’s victory.

An artist who finds themselves in the last days of a war in the enemy’s defeated capital may not just fix its objects dispassionately. Many factors influence the selection and depicturing manner of the objects. One of the factors is satisfaction from the accomplished retribution, awareness of the historical justice triumph. Researchers think such reactions are inevitable. The article offers to consider from this point of view the drawings created by Soviet artists in Berlin in the spring and summer of 1945. Such an analysis of the German capital’s visual image is conducted for the first time. It shows that the above reactions were not the only ones. The graphics of the first post-war days no less clearly and consistently express other feelings and intentions of their authors: the desire to accurately document and fix the image of the city and some of its structures in history, the happiness from the silence of peace, and the simple interest in the monuments of European art.The article examines Berlin scenes as evidences of the transition from front-line graphics focused on the visual recording of the war traces to peacetime graphics; from documentary — to artistry; from the worldview of a person at war — to the one of a person who lived to victory. In this approach, it has been important to consider the graphic images of Berlin in unity with the diary and memoir texts belonging to both artists and ordinary soldiers who participated in the storming of Berlin. The combination of verbal and visual sources helps to present the German capital’s image that existed in the public consciousness, as well as the specificity of its representation by means of visual art.

In the next few years Brazil will receive the largest sum of investment in urban transport in the history of the country for the coming mega sports events. Theoretically, these investments should address the transport crisis that Brazilian cities are experiencing. The paper shows that the issue of transportation is present on the public agenda and in planning connected with mega events in strictly engineering terms. The ‘question of urban transportation' is introduced and a discussion is given of its connection with the preparation of cities for the mega sports events starting with Rio de Janeiro. Here the huge resources involved will probably have deep impacts on urban dynamics and on the socio-spatial configuration of the city without, however, providing solutions to the long standing transportation problems of the more vulnerable population groups.

ABSTRACT:This article investigates the emergence of the Copenhagen slaughterhouse, called the Meat City, during the late nineteenth century. This slaughterhouse was a product of a number of heterogeneous components: industrialization and new infrastructures were important, but hygiene and the significance of Danish bacon exports also played a key role. In the Meat City, this created a distinction between rising production and consumption on the one hand, and the isolation and closure of the slaughtering facility on the other. This friction mirrored an ambivalent attitude towards meat in the urban space: one where consumers demanded more meat than ever before, while animals were being removed from the public eye. These contradictions, it is argued, illustrate and underline the change of the city towards a ‘post-domestic’ culture. The article employs a variety of sources, but primarily the Copenhagen Municipal Archives for regulation of meat provision.

Public services are services, both in the form of public goods and public services which are the responsibility and are carried out by the government in an effort to meet the needs of the community and in accordance with statutory provisions. One of the public services provided by the government is the One-Stop Administration System (SAMSAT). According to SAMSAT data in the city of Magelang, data on motorized vehicle ownership has increased and there has been an increase in the number of taxpayers. However, the tax payment service is considered to be less than optimal because there are still long queues when paying taxes.This also causes many people to make payments past the due date or entrust queues to brokerage services. Therefore, to overcome the problem, a mobile-based application (GO-PAJAK) was built which can be used to make tax payments by means of a vehicle document pick-up to pay motor vehicle taxes connected between drivers (SAMSAT employees) and customers (taxpayers). With this application, it is expected to improve service standards at the SAMSAT office and reduce taxpayer queues also reduce the use of brokers in administering public service administration that can increase public trust.

Traditional ideas about citizenship in their liberal conception emphasize the role played by the individual as the holder of rights and duties. These ideas have been strongly questioned by various currents of thought and from some fields of studies, such as urban studies. In this paper we seek to contribute to these debates by analyzing the urban practices of a popular assembly in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (CABA-Argentina). These practices are enmeshed in disputes between the old and the new, the public and the private, and the visible and invisible, configuring citizenships that promote ways of understanding and building more participatory and democratic cities. We analyze the activities of “making visible” and activism in relation to the homelessness problem as well as the Assembly’s intention of building an urban habitat anchored in the decommodification of the city and in collective projects. We conclude that this case testifies to the construction of citizen experiences that have great potential to displace the individualistic corset with which citizens’ rights are usually defined and defended.

Smart Urbanism

This paper considers, following David Harvey (1973), how to produce a genuinely humanizing smart urbanism. It does so through utilising a future-orientated lens to sketch out the kinds of work required to reimagine, reframe and remake smart cities. I argue that, on the one hand, there is a need to produce an alternative ‘future present’ that shifts the anticipatory logics of smart cities to that of addressing persistent inequalities, prejudice, and discrimination, and is rooted in notions of fairness, equity, ethics and democracy. On the other hand, there is a need to disrupt the ‘present future’ of neoliberal smart urbanism, moving beyond minimal politics to enact sustained strategic, public-led interventions designed to create more-inclusive smart city initiatives. Both tactics require producing a deeply normative vision for smart cities that is rooted in ideas of citizenship, social justice, the public good, and the right to the city that needs to be developed in conjunction with citizens.
