Resumen: El presente artículo parte de la necesidad por reflexionar en torno al impacto de la mercantilización en la valoración y producción social de los espacios para el ocio. A través de distinciones y precisiones conceptuales entre espacio, lugar y ocio, este trabajo pretende analizar dos consecuencias importantes de la mercantilización en la valoración del espacio social: la producción del espacio a través de la mercantilización produce valor mercantil. El espacio en sentido social se torna entonces en un contenedor de relaciones sociales mediadas por la mercancía, y esto es apreciable en los espacios para la ocupación del tiempo de ocio. Sin embargo, pretendemos sustentar aquí que el ocio es un posible agente de emancipación y productor de valor en otros sentidos. Los espacios también han de contener valor no necesariamente en sentido mercantil, y es ahí donde es posible un punto de encuentro con el valor del ocio y los espacios para este. Así, se persigue la idea de que el ocio puede fungir como resistencia, diferenciándose del común malentendido de situarlo como actividad ligada irremediablemente al consumo. En cambio, nos inclinamos por proponerlo como experiencia formativa capaz de potenciar las capacidades humanas por medio de su desarrollo. Se busca así plantear alternativas en torno a la posibilidad de encontrar por medio de la experiencia de ocio resquicios de emancipación y resistencia para hacer frente a la mercantilización y el consumo y proponer formas de desarrollo local que sean cauce de desarrollo humano y comunitario.   Palabras clave: Espacio, lugar, tiempo de ocio, valor, mercancía.   Abstract: This article is based on the need to reflect on the impact of commodification on the valuation and social production of leisure spaces. Through conceptual distinctions and clarifications between space, place and leisure, this paper aims to analyse two important consequences of commodification on the valuation of social space: The production of space through commodification produces market value. Space in a social sense then becomes a container for commodity-mediated social relations, and this is visible in the spaces for the occupation of leisure time. However, we intend to argue here that leisure is a possible agent of emancipation and producer of value in other senses. Spaces also have to contain value not necessarily in a mercantile sense, and this is where a meeting point with the value of leisure and spaces for leisure is possible. Thus, we pursue the idea that leisure can function as resistance, as opposed to the common misunderstanding of situating it as an activity irremediably linked to consumption. Instead, we are inclined to propose it as a formative experience capable of enhancing human capacities through its development. In this way, we seek to propose alternatives around the possibility of finding, through the experience of leisure, loopholes for emancipation and resistance in order to confront commercialisation and consumption and to propose forms of local development that are a channel for human and community development.   Key words: Valuable leisure, human development, recreation, re-creation.

Human need is human desires to own and enjoy the usefulness of goods or services that can provide physical and spiritual satisfaction for survival. This study deals with the common social practice of debting at Kodingateng Island, Makassar. It examine the people’s perspective about debt, the debt mechanism, and the impact of debt in their social life. This study was carried out at Kodingareng Island, Makassar, an island where debting is a common social practice. There were 11 participants involved in this study, consisting of a female college student, seven fishermen's wives, and a stall seller (pagadde-gadde), a diver (paselang), and a fisherman (papekang). They are aged between 24 and 47 years. Data was collected using in-depth interview (to explore people's perspectives on debt, debting mechanism, and the impact of debting behavior towards their life; and observation (to observe indebted transactions, who owes, what is owed, billing and payment moments). The study shows that people at Kodingareng Island perceive debt (inrang) as a “habit” that has become a local tradition and debt as a “bond” between the lender (to appa'nginrang) and the borrower (to nginrang). The debt mechanism depends on debted needs, which are varied from primary needs, secondary needs, and tertiary needs; and on the importance of such need. The more important an item becomes, the more often the type of item is debted. The mechanism is simple, one just mention what s/he need and goods can be directly taken or delivered. Despite the fact there is a informal agreement between the lender and the borrower, in many cases the payment methods depends on the borrower. The impact of debt for the people of Kodingareng Island is categorized into three: people are trapped in an endless debt since debt is carried out continuously; generating generation debtors since they are accustomed to see and to practice debt; and affecting community social relations since payments are faltered, despite debting is not a shamefull behaviour.

Abstract The objective of the article is to present the assumptions of the gentrification approach, which allows one to assess the impact of public spatial actions undertaken by various actors in the process of social production of space. The study proposes a research methodology that distinguishes the social, economic and spatial dimensions of gentrification. The author makes use of source literature on the subject of gentrification and public policy theories as well as the results of the author’s gentrification research conducted in Warsaw, New York and Istanbul on examples of places that were planned using various types of participatory techniques. The study performs the operationalisation of the measurement of gentrification as a useful analytical tool in policy science.

Objectively Measured

Space, or spatiality, has generally been relegated to the background by historians and social scientists (Soja 1989). The Cartesian worldview demands a separation between thinking and the material world, between mind and matter. In this view space is seen simply as something that can be objectively measured, an absolute, a passive container (Merrifield 1993: 518).An alternative view, propounded mainly by postmodern geographers, regards space as a “medium rather than a container for action”, something that is involved in action and cannot be divided from it (Tilley 1994: 10). Space is not an empty, passive container, but an active process that is both constituted and constitutive (Merrifield 1993: 521). So, in this view the social, historical, and the spatial are interwoven dimensions of life (Soja 1999: 263–4). History and society are not understood if space is omitted; there is, in fact, no unspatialised social reality (Soja 1989: 131–7; 1996: 46, 70–6).The philosopher Henri Lefebvre's concept of the social production of space plays an important part in this latter view of the active role of space in social processes. Lefebvre criticises the notion that space is transparent, neutral and passive, and formulates in its place an active, operational and instrumental notion of space (Lefebvre 1991: 11). He argues that it is the spatial production process that should be the object of interest rather than “things” in space, and that space is both a medium of social relations and a material product that can affect social relations (Lefebvre 1991: 36–7; Gottdiener 1993).

Pictorial Essay

This pictorial essay reflects on a unique category of architectural drawing that depicts spaces that cannot physically exist. It suggests that this specific mode of drawing plays a significant role in the production of meaning in social space through depicting ephemeral characteristics of our social relations. This argument is discussed in relation to Michel Foucault’s theoretical allegory of the heterotopic mirror, and illustrated through accompanying images of the drawing project The Virtual Relations (2009). This project used the methodology of “drawing the impossible” with Henri Lefebvre’s theory for the production of space to explore ephemeral conditions of social interaction in the domestic interior as five spatial descriptions.

Se analizan los conflictos espaciales de dos humedales del departamento del Valle del Cauca entre mediados del siglo XX y principios del siglo XXI, bajo un contexto de transformación producido por: 1) agentes sociales vinculados al agronegocio de la caña de azúcar, 2) el Estado y sus políticas neoliberales y, por último, 3) las comunidades locales que soportan el poder ejercido por los dos primeros. Se parte de la teoría de la producción social del espacio de Lefebvre para descubrir asimetrías en las relaciones de poder entre estos tres agentes. Los resultados muestran injusticias espaciales producto de ellas. De este modo, se aportan argumentos teóricos y empíricos como base de reflexión para las comunidades locales y la comunidad científica respecto a los estudios ambientales y conservación de humedales.<p><strong>Palabras clave:</strong> conflictos espaciales, relaciones de poder, producción social del espacio, humedales y agronegocio de la caña de azúcar</p><p>We analyze spatial conflicts in two wetlands in the Department of Valle del Cauca between the mid-20th century and the beginning of the 21st century.

AbstractRural heritage is a living heritage of significant importance; it requires community-oriented management for cultural continuity and local development. Different social relations exist at rural heritage sites, which lead to external contestation among stakeholders and internal contestation within the community. It is essential to identify the impact caused by such contestations and determine an appropriate way to negotiate solutions. This paper examines the case of Loushang in Guizhou Province, identifying the contestations by examining the social relations through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Negotiation requires an appropriate person or social group to act as intermediary: they engage the stakeholders and induce them to collaborate; they also empower the community in heritage management. The case of Loushang indicates the tools that are necessary to facilitate community-oriented management for rural heritage; it bridges theoretical research and heritage practice.

The Relationship

Study of religion and territory (space) is a new phenomenon in recent dec­ades along with the tendency of religious studies that change from normative to con­tex­tual approach. Plosokuning village as a religious area becomes research ob­ject that examines the relationship between religion and space. Furthermore, this re­search will explore how this religious region is formed and how it affects the beha­vior of the people in this village.This study uses a social theory known as the production of space proposed by Henri Lefebvre. In this theory, space is a social production, and always related to the social reality that surrounds it. Space never existed and manifested itself or held itself. In other words space has a historical dimension that helped shape it. The social space also influences the way of thinking and acting of society that exists in the space, as well as uses as control and domination.From the historical approach, it is found that the religious area of Plosokun­ing is a product of the palace (kraton Yogyakarta) that makes Plosokuning as a mutihan area (place of worship). This religious area is intended as a bastion of the spirituality of the palace and the implementation of the royal philosophy known as Kiblat Papat Lima Pancer. In this philosophy, the palace is in the middle and sur­rounded by a spiritual fortress in the form of four Pathok Negara Mosques, one of which is the Pathok Negara Mosque in Plosokuning.The religious area of Plosokuning, which is a palace product, has an influ­ence on the Islamic religiosity of the Plosokuning community. This religious beha­vior can be proved by the emergence of cultural products, both tangible and intangi­ble cultures. Tangible cultures are like the emergence of some boarding schools (pesantren), some musholla (small mosques), Muslim housing, and majelis ta'lim (place for Islamic studies). While intangible culture such as the emergence of Is­lamic art, religious rituals, as well as Islamic religious norms in society. Plosokun­ing as religious area continues to be inherited from generation to generation by continu­ing to revive the Islamic culture, both tangible and intangible culture.The study of the Plosokuning community also shows a strong relation be­tween religious space and the behavior of the people. By the existing of the reli­gious area,  so the sacred character of religion becomes strong in the environment of Pathok Negara Mosque Plosokuning. As a sacred area, it becomes a shame (ta­boo) when people conduct behavior or actions that violate Islamic norms and tradi­tions. The social function of this religion is also reinforced by giving social sanc­tions for people who violate the teachings of Islam. Keywords: Islam, production of space, sacred, Yogyakarta.

Digital data have become a form of “objectivation”, which affect how we construct social knowledge and organize social space (Couldry &amp; Hepp, 2017). The workplace is one sphere that is increasingly datafied. This study explores how Uber drivers, a form of digitally-enabled service workers, contribute to the normalization of the social production of space through their interpretative practices of digital data in an online forum. Drawing on Uber’s corporate discourse and an Uber driver online forum, we analyze two facets of the Uber app and drivers’ mediated experiences: (1) the quantification and discipline of drivers’ performance through Uber’s rating system and (2) the coordination of spatial movement through location-related metrics. We argue that the underlying workings of the Uber app premediate expectations of service encounters and spatial movement. Uber drivers meanwhile develop practices which respond to and circumvent their own data contributions to the system. Drivers’ practices, we argue, are largely in compliance with the calculative logics set by Uber. The article addresses implications of Uber drivers’ practices for the reproduction of social space and power-relations in digitally-enabled service work and the gig economy.

Rites of passage and associated social processes and morphologies can foster a sense of shared purpose, fraternity, and dedication to community through the common experiences of group trials and commitment. A’uwẽ (Xavante) age organization entails the social production of manhood through a privileged form of male camaraderie constructed through age sets and mentorship, rooted in the shared experience of rites of passage and coresidence in the pre-initiate boys’ house. This process is central to how A’uwẽ men understand themselves, their social relations with certain delineated segments of society, and their ethnic identity. It is a basic social configuration contributing to the maintenance of A’uwẽ social and ethnic belonging in contemporary times. Ethnography of Amazonia should expand its reach to consider the contributions of age organization and ritualized camaraderie to social and ethnic identity.
