This study aims to register part of the collection of body culture in the city of Tocantinópolis, Tocantins, located in the North of Brazil, based on the play reported by the older adult participants in the Health and Cognition Project for Seniors at the FUNT (Federal University of Northeast of Tocantins). Thus, we carried out exploratory fieldwork and qualitative analysis. The field information was gathered through semi-structured interviews with 42 (forty-two) participants. The script of the interviews encompassed their favourite places to play, partnerships, toys, and general characteristics. The analysis of the interviews indicated 64 (sixty-four) manifestations, divided into 8 (eight) categories, according to their particularities. The reports also revealed some portraits of a childhood suffering from poverty and early employment. Furthermore, the rural environment was the setting of some records, using toys manufactured with natural resources.

Research objectives (aims) and problem(s): The purpose of the article is to point out the pedagogical implications of selected elements of Erving Goffman’s thought. Research methods: To achieve this goal, the author used the methods of hermeneutic interpretation and existential problematisation. Structure of the article: The topic may be boiled down to the essence of the ethos which underlies authentic pedagogical thought and activity. This issue has been problematised in terms of Erving Goffman’s theory of the presentation of self in everyday life and social interaction rituals. In this context, reference is made to the heuristic semantic potential of the metaphorical figure expressed in the concept of the “schoolboy model” and “schoolboy’s world.” In fact, it symbolises the essence of the ethos of pedagogical thought and activity, which always paves the way to authentically acquiring personal and social competencies – requiring time, effort and self-discipline. On this path, individuals gain genuine respect and recognition in society whilst acquiring the skills needed to fulfil their social roles. In this meaning, the heuristic figure of the “schoolboy model” mainly depicts the authentic, honest effort needed to follow the path that leads to personal and social development by facing the challenges and demands of education with integrity. Therefore, the metaphorical figure of the schoolboy model, referring to the rule of fairness (i.e., evaluating students based on their actual merits and achievements), assumes the validity of facts that can only be produced by means of diligent and honest work. Research findings and their impact on the development of educational sciences: Thus, the subject matter calls for the application of selected categories of Erving Goffman’s work in contemporary pedagogical discourse and its key categories: the subjectivity, autonomy, self-education and self-realisation of the pupil. Conclusions and/or recommendations: The model of pedagogical thought and action inspired by selected aspects of Goffman’s thought can be linked with the ways of understanding pupils’ status which express beliefs about individuals’ ability to create their own social and cultural status through their choices, reflexivity, activity, commitment and subjective agency. Thus, the heuristic figure of Goffman’s schoolboy model exposes the authentic acquisition of subjective competence for personal and social human development.

Homelessness has re-emerged as a significant issue in Aotearoa, New Zealand (Aotearoa/NZ) in recent decades, with Māori (Indigenous peoples of New Zealand) being impacted disproportionately due to ongoing processes of colonisation and impoverishment. Whether living on the streets of an urban centre, small city, or rural district, the lifeworlds of homeless people are frequently textured by social, material, and spatial exclusions, uncertainties, insecurities, and stigma. This article explores how the Open Arms Day Centre (OADC), a drop-in day centre for homeless people in Whangārei (a small city in Northland), functions as a dependable Pou Whirinaki (pillar of strength and support) in the everyday lives of Māori experiencing homelessness. Employing a Māori-centred, case-based approach, we explored the experiences of a small group of local service users, volunteers, and staff through interviews, photographic exercises, and regular casual conversations. This culturally informed mode of inquiry resulted in a deeper understanding of the OADC’s operation as what health geographers have also referred to as a space of care. Such spaces offer those frequenting them opportunities for respite, inclusion, belonging, and routine. They become Pou Whirinaki through enactments of Māori relational values and practices that foster a sense of ontological security, cultural continuity, and shared humanity

Disassembling a house does not only mean making an inventory of the things we own to fit them into boxes and move them. It also means undoing familiarity with a specific domestic space. By delving into this situation, this text analyzes how the experience of moving deconstructs the everyday life of the domestic and activates our senses around new questions. Ultimately, deconstructing the domestic does not mean destroying it, but rather dismantling it to rethink and reorganize it.

The way people source, prepare, and consume food is deeply interconnected with social practice. Drawing on theories of everyday life and social practice, we consider the everyday food-related practices and tactics for survival of six people experiencing homelessness. In doing so, we identify ways in which the realities of homelessness force people to conduct domestic activities in public view and discuss how the inability to engage in simple and taken-for-granted practices such as making a cup of tea is psychologically detrimental. This research documents the oft-overlooked ways that people experiencing homelessness demonstrate tenacity and resourcefulness and the agentive ways in which they respond to difficult circumstances. Our analysis broadens understanding of the disruptive mechanisms of homelessness as they pertain to food-related social practices. Additionally, we present new considerations of the ways in which people who previously experienced homelessness do their best to ‘mend’ disruptions through processes of ‘re-mooring’ and adopting tactics for survival.

We explore the everyday life of a group of young people in conflict with the law and the relationships they maintain with the devices and strategies of the Law 20.084 on Adolescent Criminal Responsibility (LRPA). First, we describe the ethnographic context of the research. Then, we show their forms of sociability, moral experiences and interactions between young people and the adolescent penal system’s devices. Materials suggest that young people’s experiences are closely linked to a series of local values, norms and expectations around representations about masculinity and adulthood. Thus, through their moral experiences, young people reveal how they engage with criminal practices, as well as identifying their points of friction and conflict with the LRPA strategies.

Resumen A lo largo de las últimas dos décadas, y ante la creciente preocupación por el medio ambiente y el cambio climático, la arquitectura ha explorado las oportunidades abiertas por los campos de la termodinámica y la ecología. Centrándose en un enfoque cuantitativo, se ha echado mano de estas disciplinas para responder con rigor y precisión a este reto. Esta cuestión se ha abordado principalmente desde un punto de vista técnico, centrándose en cuantificar el rendimiento termodinámico de los edificios, pasando por alto los aspectos culturales aún cuando son igualmente importantes. Es por tanto importante que la arquitectura compense este enfoque técnico y cuantitativo con una perspectiva cualitativa, de modo que se aborden de manera integral cuestiones que hasta ahora han sido independientes como son el clima de un lugar, la atmósfera que se genera en el interior de un edificio o la vida cotidiana de sus usuarios. A diferencia de los enfoques paramétricos que han dominado la arquitectura termodinámica durante la última década, la revisión de la idea de tipología es una buena herramienta disciplinar para integrar el clima de un lugar con los patrones de la vida cotidiana de sus habitantes. Los tipos climáticos muestran de una manera explícita cómo la arquitectura puede interactuar entre el clima exterior y la forma en que las personas viven y socializan, ofreciendo el potencial para conectar la organización espacial y material de un edificio con el comportamiento de sus habitantes, uniendo los asuntos cuantitativos con los cualitativos. Este escrito recorre las ideas que fundamentan esta cuestión. Partiendo del campo de lo psicosomático y de situaciones y comportamientos cotidianos de sus habitantes, se explorará cómo las tipologías climáticas ofrecen un conocimiento disciplinar de interés para comprender las conexiones que existen entre la arquitectura, el clima y su uso y habitabilidad. Mediando entre lo técnico y lo cultural, este escrito aspira a aproximarse a una nueva idea de tipología que, integrando su estructura formal y material con los microclimas que induce y con el comportamiento de sus usuarios, supere el determinismo performativo para proponer una interacción abierta entre la arquitectura, la atmósfera y el cuerpo humano. Abstract During the last two decades, in the context of a growing awareness of the environment and climate change, architecture has explored the design opportunities opened up by the fields of thermodynamics and ecology. Focusing on the quantitative and performance-oriented approaches that have prevailed in recent years, architecture has explored new design potentials. However, this new sensibility has been approached primarily from a technical point of view and has focused on quantifying the thermodynamic performance of buildings, overlooking the equally important cultural aspects of this endeavor. Apart from this quantitative and technical approach, architecture needs to have a qualitative outlook if it is to address the connections that exist between the local climate of a given place, the effect of the spatial and material particularities of architecture on interior atmospheres, and the everyday lifestyles of its users. Contrary to the parametric approaches that have dominated thermodynamic architecture during the last decade, climatic typologies are a powerful tool in bridging the gulf that exists between a given local climate and specific everyday life patterns. Climatic typologies —both historical and contemporary— very explicitly show how architecture can determine the interaction between outdoor climate and the way people live and socialize, offering the opportunity to connect the spatial and material lineaments of architecture to the specific physiological and psychological behaviors of its users, bridging the gulf between the thermodynamic processes induced by architecture and the everyday behavior of its inhabitants. This essay presents the architectural ideas that ideologically ground the approach. Starting from human psychosomatic behavior and everyday behavioral situations, the essay will explore how climatic typologies, both historical and contemporary, offer disciplinary knowledge essentially to an understanding of the connections between architecture, climate, and living patterns. Mediating between the technical and the cultural, this essay seeks to redefine the idea of typology, conflating the formal and material structure of the architectural type, with the microclimates it elicits and the behavior of its users. Superseding performative determinism, it proposes an open interaction between architecture, atmosphere, and human body.

The objective of this research was to analyze the daily life of a teacher in a public school located in the city of Valença - RJ. According to Alves (2003), each day of the school is different, therefore, it is necessary that different types of studies show how knowledge is constructed and reconstructed in the school environment, as well as highlight what are the expectations of the teacher in relation to teaching and report the their working conditions. This is a qualitative research (Gerhartdt & Silveira, 2009), which were produced through on-site observations of the school's daily life and based on a semi-structured interview conducted with the teacher. Once produced, the data were analyzed via categorization (Moraes, 1999). The results point to the precariousness of the school, the difficulties that the teacher goes through in the exercise of teaching and a mixture of hope and pessimism in relation to the changes in the actions of the authorities in relation to rural education.

Nietzsche was aware of the importance of living in the moment; both outdated and a product of his times, he tells us plainly not to be a John-a-dreams, to look around and see clearly how men live each day. In his slighting, plain-spoken judgements and his impassioned polemics, Nietzsche constantly shows how attentive an observer he is of the reality and problems of his time; it is difficult to find a topic on which he has not expressed his opinion. His attention rests on those small themes that make up the rhapsodic existence, public and private, of those who live in modern society, all small realities which, as Nietzsche himself observes, are very badly observed by most people and very rarely given much attention by a philosophy that is still too far-removed and detached from the reality of everyday life, an abstract, academic philosophizing that is hypocritically interested only in the most important things and the great questions but inevitably ends up with the neglect of what is human. Nietzsche, on the other hand, believes he has a keen eye for the smallest and most everyday things, and always succeeds in the difficult enterprise of viewing the familiar as a problem. These near things also include leisure time and rest.

The review analyses the book of the French historian-medievalist and religious scholar Jean Verdon, dedicated to the religious everyday life of the Western Middle Ages. It is shown that the author creates a picture of the life of European society at that stage of development, when every man from his or her birth till death, obeyed the Roman Catholic Church. The author demonstrates excellent knowledge of the narrative and documentary sources, making his own text more bright, and his research appears quite reliable because of the statistical calculations. The narration develops according to a strict plan, and the reader receives information on a chain of questions: how a newborn Christian was taken into fellowship with the Church; how the parish was arranged; what instructions it received; how the church year and other time periods and cycles were arranged; how the Church influenced on the family life; what veneration of shrines, prayer, repentance and charity were on practice; how the Church institutions formulated and transmitted to a believer social ideals and directed him to holiness. The only serious drawback of the monograph is clearly complimentary attitude to the Church institutions, whose role in the humanization of a wide range of human relationships, in particular in preaching of the ideas of social piece, the author constantly emphasizes. In addition, Jean Verdon avoids expressing opinions regarding the Church proceedings and court, in particular the Inquisition. The book may be recommended to anyone interested in history of religion and problems of religious daily routine.

While proverbial expressions have the commonality as the “salt” of human cultures around the world, this salt has many nuances in its flavor. Each of these flavors contains its local specialty, and together they make our life diverse and joyful. Those specialties are the verbal reflections of the fundamental beliefs and values in different cultures. In this regard, exploring Chinese proverbs in general, and proverbs about old age and aging in particular, helps understand the essence of Chinese culture. Such an understanding is urgent in an age of global communica- tion, where stories of conflict also increasingly occupy our attention. With this conviction, the author first outlines the history of Chinese prov- erb collections and studies, then examines a specific proverb, and subse- quently concludes by connecting and analyzing the Chinese proverbs about old age and aging and the four life-views that reveal the essence of Chinese culture, with the emphasis on the polytheist/inclusive belief system and its practical expressions in everyday life.

Este estudio de caso se focaliza en el archivo que Lucía Álvarez (1936-2018) construyó durante los últimos 24 años de su vida. Las imágenes reunidas en 14 tomos fueron seleccionadas a partir de puntos de vista particulares que la autora tenía sobre formas de actividad cotidiana susceptibles de ser archivadas. Imágenes de pájaros que aparecían diariamente en el periódico, firmas de los médicos que hacían sus chequeos o calendarios publicitarios que se reparten a comienzo de año, configuran el acervo edificado de acuerdo a motivaciones individuales que cambiaban de rumbo según las circunstancias. Se evidencia un complejo sistema de relaciones y significados que abren preguntas sobre cómo las pasiones dominantes enriquecen la vida cotidiana, activan habilidades, desarrollan aptitudes estéticas y amplían los tipos de percepción y afectos.

This article examines the features of folk teachers' everyday life in the Russian Empire during the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries. The study is based on such concepts as everyday life, lifestyle, standard of living, and working conditions. As the part of the study of folk teachers' everyday life, the author focused on the consideration of the material, legal status, living and working conditions, and professional opportunities provided to teachers. Besides, the reasons for the frequent layoffs of national teachers were studied. Based on a deep analysis of historical sources and literature, the author comes to the conclusion that by the end of the XIX - the beginning of the XX centuries most of the teaching positions in public schools began to be occupied by female teachers, and attempts were made to raise their material and legal status at the legislative level. Despite such attempts, folk teachers in the Russian Empire had a low professional status in contrast to their male colleagues during the second half of the XIX - early XX centuries. This was due to the fact that during this period woman were not full members of society yet and the processes of women's emancipation in Russia proceeded much more slowly than in other countries.

New media tools and the corresponding digital networks have begun to take part in the centre of our daily lives, thereby caused a practice of everyday life in digital space. In Twitter, a network in which users are involved through the machines, the concepts such as life, time, space, rhythm have developed. This study focuses on the constitution of everyday life in digital space. Twitter is a digital space that users do their everyday life practices in this network and are involved in through the machines. A sample of 10 Turkish users was selected with social network analysis to discover everyday life practices in this digital space. The content produced by this sample was observed employing digital ethnography and analysed by the sociology of everyday life. It is observed that Twitter creates its own rhythm. Observations show in Twitter that tactics have been produced, and strategies have been tried to be turned down with these tactics and acted rhythmic practices as forms of production and consumption in everyday life. People tend to follow similar others on Twitter, and accordingly, content is being produced for an imaginary community.

Purpose: To understand the processes of territorialization in the daily life and work routine of settlers in Querência do Norte, Paraná, Brazil. Originality/value: This work contributes to the context of discussions on territory and territorialization processes (Haesbaert, 2011; Raffestin, 1993, 2008; Saquet, 2008) in the daily life (De Certeau, 2014) of workers marginalized by society in general. Design/methodology/approach: We developed this qualitative article from data collected through eight life history interviews with settlers, pre-settlers, and residents of Querência do Norte, in the State of Paraná (PR). After transcribing the interviews, they went through an analysis of narratives. Findings: We identify that, through the practices of work, study and claims, the settlers territorialize the space, and there they create their own rules and norms of coexistence. In their struggles for land, it is clear that their place of belonging is the field, justifying the insistence on the struggle for the right to land to cultivate. The sense of belonging of the workers is represented by the struggle that unites them and places them as part of a larger movement. Placing men at the center of the construction of territoriality is accomplished through the daily struggle and work of the settlers and pre-settlers in Querência do Norte (PR). / Objetivo: Compreender os processos de territorialização no cotidiano de vida e trabalho de assentados em Querência do Norte, Paraná. Originalidade/valor: Este trabalho contribui com o contexto das discussões acerca do território e processo de territorialização (Haesbaert, 2011; Raffestin, 1993, 2008; Saquet, 2008) no cotidiano (De Certeau, 2014) de trabalhadores marginalizados pela sociedade de forma geral. Design/metodologia/abordagem: Este artigo de natureza qualitativa foi desenvolvido a partir de dados coletados por meio de oito entrevistas de história de vida com assentados, pré-assentados e moradores de Querência do Norte. Depois de transcritas, as entrevistas passaram por uma análise de narrativas. Resultados: Identificamos que a partir das práticas de trabalho, estudo e reivindicações, os assentados territorializam o espaço e ali passaram a criar suas próprias regras e normas de convivência. Em suas lutas pela terra, torna-se claro que seu local de pertencimento é o campo, justificando a insistência na luta pelo direito à terra para cultivar. O sentimento de pertencimento dos trabalhadores é representado pela luta que os une e os coloca como parte de um movimento maior. Tendo o homem como centro, a construção da territorialidade se faz no cotidiano de luta e trabalho dos assentados e pré-assentados em Querência do Norte.

Abstract: Similar to many concepts in Social Sciences, the concept of sociospatial fragmentation has been often misused, at times leading to significant confusion. In view of that, this article aims to critically review this concept in Latin America. It brings into discussion that, from a critical perspective and compared with differential urbanization and everyday life, the concept of sociospatial fragmentation contributes to explaining the current relationships between space and society. Based on such an interpretive scheme, the study indicates correspondence to strong social and spatial tendencies: the chronification of the crisis of capitalism, the complete urbanization of society, the bankruptcy of modernity, and the fragmentation of everyday life. All that led to the conclusion that fragmentation is, fundamentally, a battle against the use-value of everyday life, which characterizes the present relationships between space and society.

The paper describes the formation process of the domestic icon – one of the most important religious and ritual objects of the Ukrainian peasantry. Its roots date back to the period of Kyivan Rus’, and its prosperity – to the nineteenth century. The author draws attention to the evolution of tradition and various forms of manifestations throughout Ukraine.

Across national contexts, research shows that young people who live in child protection facilities often have negative experiences of power relations. In this article we look for a suitable method which takes account of power relations while investigating young people's perspectives on their everyday lives. We first present the results of an international methodological literature review concerned with the study of everyday life of young people, including ethical discussions arising among researchers. Drawing on this, our own research devised a shortitudinal, qualitative and cross-national approach which was designed to empower young participants during the research process. Sixteen young people living in care in France and in England participated in this project. Here we discuss the ways in which this approach functioned to give participants control—over the use they made of the research tools, over the topics that were discussed, and over the spaces in which research data were generated. Some of the data show how young people's choices reflect the areas where they feel powerful. We argue that using this method enabled insights into the ways in which young people were able to create or protect agentic spaces within the constrained everyday lives of child protection.

This paper discusses the relevance of ways of looking at, questioning and shedding light on what assumes the everyday life as a methodological lever of the knowledge of school reality. With this goal, it is explored the symbology of nicknames in different school contexts of Portugal and Brazil and the social circumstances which contribute to their production and circulation. It is necessary to see how names spin out meanings in the informal everyday language. The proposed methodology takes the words of everyday chatting as vehicles for understanding the underlying social relationships.

O quotidiano vivido pela comunidade portuguesa nos Estados Unidos da América tem sido o principal foco das crónicas de Eduardo Mayone Dias. Neste artigo, atendendo aos contributos teóricos de Michel de Certeau, Henri Lefebvre, Avtar Brah e Stuart Hall, entre outros, analisaremos o modo como é observada, pelo cronista, a transposição de algumas tradições portuguesas para o espaço de imigração e a forma como estas e outras atividades quotidianas se delineiam como um alicerce da construção identitária dos imigrantes no espaço diaspórico.

This work seeks to identify the relationships that are established between the music of peasant origin of the Montes de María, the construction of the territory and the different identities on the part of the communities that inhabit the area. In addition, it expounds some elements in relation to the practices and meanings that constitute music as a narrative that expresses peasant orality, rural daily life, and as a device of memory, as it evidences the different elaborations of the past and the ways in which this one sings

The purpose of this article is to provide a theoretical and methodological basis for the study and understanding of the processes of impoverishment and socio-spatial segregation that occur in our societies in contemporary contexts, where capitalist development and market economy have been determinant in the structuring of social inequalities and inequalities, exacerbating the gaps between wealth and poverty. Some references allow to locate the analysis of the phenomenon in Latin American and Colombian context oriented to understand, measure and generate public policies for the eradication of Poverty. What is also questioned is the place of the economic model in the processes of impoverishment and the perceptions that the population has about poverty and the institutional actions designed to combat it.

The principle objective of this article is to situate the analysis of the “bodily turn” within the study of “the visual”. This locates the researcher not as an objective observer at a distance but instead in another way of looking at and relating with the world. Instead of something “out there” the world is seen as something that affects us and that we also shape through our own perceptions. In this sense, the body is the axis that articulates, recognizes and repositions physical bodies as the fundamental axis through which anthropological research can be renewed in our continent. From these points of departure, the purpose of this article is to illustrate, articulate and share some of my experiences in the “how to” of ethnographic research on everyday life as a narrative and visual practice.

Social movement approaches start with assumptions that negate other forms of struggle undertaken by individual subjects in different areas of everyday life. Based on a notion of struggle taken from the work of John Holloway, we formulate a critique of two of these assumptions: the association of movements with social change, and the collective nature of the struggles that make such change possible. Two cases, one in Oaxaca and the other in Guerrero (Mexico), are used to illustrate the content of the analysis presented. We show how, in their concrete everyday lives, subjects deploy other forms of doing, ways of living that negate capitalist relations and aim to construct of other relations of a different type.

In this article, using a multidimensional methodology, we explored the role of materiality in the everyday lives of eight Italian families. Focusing on spaces and objects, we analyzed how people "use" material frames and boundaries in expanding their individual and collective experiences at home. We employed a composite design including different sources of data: audio and videotaped home tours, visual ethnographic notes and photos, observations of everyday family activities, home-mapping and observational tracking of actions at regular intervals. We used discourse and conversation analysis to investigate family members' talk-in-interaction concerning materiality. The findings show that spaces and objects are expansions of participants' everyday activities: they are presented as flexible in their use, multifunctional and affectively connoted. We also present implications for the methodological design and its potential for capturing how family doings create both a sense of life and the affordances of everyday experiences at home.

Health literacy refers to the relationships between health information and its appraising as well as its application to health-related decisions. To ensure that older people with intellectual disabilities be able to make self-determined decisions that are positive for their own health, findings from this group with regard to health literacy are urgently needed. Older people with intellectual disabilities have not been included in discussions concerning the conceptualization of health literacy. The purpose of this study was to explore the importance of the health literacy-concept for older people with intellectual disabilities and their everyday health-related lives. Thirty-one qualitative phase-dynamic interviews were conducted with persons with an intellectual disability of over 50 years (50-81years) and were analyzed with the integrative basic procedure according to KRUSE (2014). Three categories were identified for everyday health: concepts of health and disease, determinants of health and disease, and health-related meaning and relevance structures. The results show that older people with intellectual disabilities have developed specific ideas about health and disease. For further research and concept development, it is essential to incorporate these insights into the health literacy- concept, focusing in particular on the determinants of each stage of health and integrating relevant aspects of the lives of older people with intellectual disabilities.

In the following conversation Eric LAURIER talks about the role of ethnomethodology's foundational account—the "Studies in Ethnomethodology" (GARFINKEL, 1967)—within the UK and the influence of the book on his own research as well as on human geography, mobility studies, actor-network-theory, and a general social science methodology. He therefore underlines the peculiar focus of GARFINKEL on the everyday, his non-ironic position towards member's practices, and the plurivocality of the book. Giving an elaborated account on the methodological challenges with an ethnomethodological approach including video recordings he differentiates between the video as a research tool and video usage as a member's practice. LAURIER demonstrates the inspiring and initiating content of the studies as well as its limits. By doing so he can show the prolific quality for current research fields like the study of mobility and movement, the question of space and place, and the role of the "Studies in Ethnomethodology" as a political text.

This paper is based on the results of the research project “Media Discourses on Material and Ethnic Gaps. A comparative study in St Petersburg and Stockholm” financed by the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies (Sweden). One of the main sections of the project was focused on ordinary persons’ portrayal in comparison with images of so-called celebrities in the regional media. Russian and Swedish scholars used a set of methods such as content analysis of newspapers and TV, expert in-depth interviews, and focus groups (2013, Spring - Summer). In fact, common men appeared rarely in TV excerpts and newspaper articles, especially in Russia. At the same time non-commons were shown in the majority of Russian TV and print media items while Swedish media give the opposite proportions. To explain gaps between Russian and Swedish findings one needs to take into account different social and mental traditions in these countries. The difference has been revealed within expert interviews and focus groups.

Yves Leclair est un poète français contemporain qui fait partie d’une nouvelle lignée poétique qui semble vouloir réinterpréter certaines valeurs lyriques dans le contexte contemporain, en contact avec des démarches comme le « Nouveau lyrisme » et le « Lyrisme critique ». Ces poètes semblent porter un regard particulièrement attentif sur le quotidien, qui devient une nouvelle voie d’exploration lyrique. C’est ce que nous remarquons dans l’œuvre d’Yves Leclair, dont la principale particularité est une forte présence de la contemplation, qui semble jouer un rôle capital dans l’exploration du quotidien en tant que voie d’accès à des valeurs lyriques de la poésie.

Affection crisis: privacy and everyday life in film and television - When intimacy is the main theme of both television programs and in movies theaters, an affection crisis is observed, in which the risk of subjective imprisonments and reification intensify. In this paper we analyze two empirical objects that emphasize the theme of everyday life and privacy, which pervade some affective territories, such as the film "A woman is a woman", of Jean-Luc Godard, and contemporary television, in particular the Brazilian television channel GNT. In conclusion, the trajectory of the self seems threatened by the marketing of affective performances.

Este artículo hace uso de los métodos de la Microhistoria Italiana, la Alltagsgeschichte alemana y el “giro local” para analizar el franquismo desde abajo, tratando de explorar la compleja relación entre Estado y sociedad con especial atención a las vías de contacto entre los españoles corrientes y la dictadura en la vida cotidiana. En definitiva, en estas páginas trata de demostrar la validez de una perspectiva desde lo local para el examen de temas como la represión, las luchas de poder, la construcción política del régimen, los movimientos de oposición, las actitudes sociales o los procesos de nacionalización.Palabras clave: franquismo, historia local, microhistoria, vida cotidiana, experiencia, actitu-des sociales._______________ This article draws on the methods developed by Italian micro-history and German Altagsgeschichte to provide an analysis of the Francoist regime from below. These methodol-ogies are employed to inquire about the complex relationship between state and society, with a particular focus about how Spaniards commonly came into contact with the regime daily. Summing up, it demonstrates local approaches’ effectiveness in order to study a wide array of issues, including repression, local struggles for power, the regime’s political configuration, opposition movements, social attitudes and nationalization processes.Keywords: Francoism, local history, micro-history, everyday life, experience, social atti-tudes.

The purpose of this article is to discuss the possible contributions of studies that combine history and everyday life to build new perspectives about Management. To achieve this goal, we discuss the association of Management, history, and studies about everyday life as an option to produce alternative perspectives within Management. We conclude by reiterating that the construction of these dialogues can open interesting paths to the development of self-reflective knowledge that are politically, socially, and geographically positioned.

The following article is a description about the violence generated in the school community School Technology Center Chiconcuac (CBT Chiconcuac) and the way how they become everyday through the eyes of teachers and students. A key aspect of this violence is that occur in day to day, it seems that “well” that “nothing happens” and “should be tolerated”, issues for which it is considered that this should undergo reflection the school community. The letter is part of a series of reflections that have been made through peace studies the graduate “Education for peace and coexistence in schools” taught by the Autonomous Indigenous University of Mexico.

This article presents an analysis of the representation of mass culture andconsumer culture inrelatos(stories) from André Sant’Anna’sSexo e amizade. Ianalyze the stories in question within the context of Brazilian literature’s extensive dialogue with mass culture that has been in place since the beginningof the twentieth century, and which has often produced critiques of consumerculture. I argue that, in the stories under study, Sant’Anna represents consumerculture as a force that is intrinsic to characters’ social relations andconceptualizations of reality. He articulates a critique of consumer culture’spresence in Brazilian everyday life that departs from what Lidia Santos calls anaesthetic of difficulty, which marked Brazilian literature’s approach to massculture between the 1960s and the 1980s. This critique is conveyed through theuse of language that is predominantly accessible and mediatic and through thedepiction of individuals from different social classes.

En este breve ensayo se plantea la configuración de una tópica intimista y primaria, una esfera afectiva en la que Macedonio se refugió a lo largo de toda su vida y en cuyo hábitat emprendió su trabajo intelectual vitalicio del pensar-escribiendo. Se incorpora una carta inédita enviada a la señora de su querido primo Ignacio del Mazo, que atestigua esta intensa valoración de sus afectos. Su pensamiento desacatado se nutre tanto de una memoria colectiva cuanto de una impronta infantil que ejerce el juego, su deseo, su libertad, su soberanía anárquica y rebelde. El pensador criollo, barrial y cósmico emprende proyectos vanguardistas y originales que anudan en su escritura un profundo arraigo en su vida íntima y doméstica. El secreto forma parte constitutiva de la modalidad de esta existencia. Abstract This brief essay puts forward the configuration of a primary and intimate topic, an affective sphere in which Macedonio took refuge throughout his life and which was the habitat for his lifelong intellectual work of think-writing. It includes an unpublished letter sent to his beloved cousin Ingacio del Mazo’s wife, who witnessed this intense appreciation of his affections. His disobedient thought is nourished by a collective memory as well as a child imprinting, which exerts play, his desire, his freedom and his anarchic and rebellious sovereignty. The creole thinker, from a neighborhood and cosmic origin, undertakes avant-garde and original projects that knot in his writing the deep roots of his intimate and domestic life. The secret is an intrinsic part of the mode of this existence.

The social history of spatial planning is a key element in the critical reevaluation of urban and territorial policies. In order to engage planning in the recovery of the commons and the formation of more democratic environments we need to understand its role in the historical production of our present sociospatial structures. This historiographical approach provides an alternative account of the sociopolitical genesis of contemporary planning discourses, techniques and practices, describing their effects and impact on the everyday lives of planned populations. This article analyzes several conceptual and methodological moments of this research project. Firstly I suggest that we use Gramsci’s conceptualization of ‘hegemony‘ and Foucault’s ‘governmentality’ in order to understand the articulation between politics and everyday life in the context of a general social history. This theoretical framework is then translated into spatial terms through the concepts of ‘territory’ and ‘territoriality’. Finally, I study how planning has been mobilized throughout history by particular hegemonic/governmental projects in order to spatially regulate the processes of social reproduction, in a context shaped by struggles of territorility.

O objetivo do ensaio é expor a alienação/estranhamento como o problema crucial do nosso tempo histórico, buscando salientar os significados do conceito de "autotranscendência positiva da alienação", considerada por István Meszáros, como sendo o eixo da reflexão marxiana nos Manuscritos econômico-filosóficos. Para tanto, discorre sobre o novo registro histórico da Aufhebung nas condições da crise estrutural do capital e a vigência do capitalismo global como capitalismo manipulatório. Aborda a centralidade ontológica da problemática da vida cotidiana e o estranhamento na perspectiva da crítica radical do trabalho. Finalmente, coloca elementos para refletir, na perspectiva do marxismo radical, sobre a transição como sendo o problema de produção dos sujeitos humanos, capazes da autotranscendência positiva da alienação.The purpose of this essay is to explore alienation as a crucial problem of our historic time, seeking to emphasize the meanings of the concept of "positive self-transcendence of alienation", which is considered by István Meszáros as the central axis of Marxian reflection in the Economic-Philosophic Manuscripts. To do so, it looks at the new historic registration of Aufhebung considering the conditions of the structural crisis of capital and the rule of global capitalism as manipulative capitalism. It addresses the ontological centrality of the problematic of everyday life and alienation from the perspective of the radical criticism of work. Finally, it raises elements for reflection, from a radical Marxist perspective, about the transition as being the problem of production of human subjects, capable of positive self-transcendence from alienation.
