Sara Ahmed addresses the construction of collectives through the circulation of affects. With this in mind, and given the gentrification threatening various regions, the discourse emerging from localism and, more specifically, from neighborhoods could be considered counter-hegemonic. After all, it concerns a reality that affects the identity of the people who inhabit these spaces and, in turn, their conception of the world and work, especially manual and artisanal labor. Therefore, the main objective of this text is to ideologically analyze the discourse of the San Julián neighborhood's artisan association in Seville; an association of women who champion the neighborhood's sounds and defend the identity of its people, despite the gentrification affecting their area. To this end, a focus group was conducted with the artisans of Recoveco Market who are in charge of the association's communication. This revealed aspects such as the circulation of affects among them and towards the neighborhood in which they live, as well as their conception of feminism and how it influences their shared reality.

The daily relationships in the territory of the neighborhoods constitute an essential social process in people's lives. The configuration of urban spaces determines how neighbors largely build their social relationships. The uses of urban spaces shape the possibilities of interaction and social cohesion in neighborhoods. This article analyzes the relationship between physical space and daily practices in two neighborhoods of the city of Madrid: Prosperidad and Malasaña. Starting from the concepts of 'the right to the city' and 'inhabiting', both the influence of physical spaces in the configuration of social relations and the opposite process are explored. The research offers the speeches of 24 in-depth interviews with residents of the selected neighborhoods and reflects the process of anonymization and loss of everyday activities that characterize current cities, recognizing the role of women in the daily use of the city.

Based on the selection of three neighbourhoods in the municipality of Madrid with different characteristics: a middle-class neighbourhood, a central historic district undergoing change and a vulnerable neighbourhood, this study analyses the diversity and complexity of ties and attachments in the local space using qualitative methodology. The differential characteristics of each of these neighborhoods allow the various manifestations of the sense of belonging and the way in which residents develop meaningful connections with their local environment to be examined. Special attention is paid to the dynamics of social interaction, local support, neighbourhood solidarity, the practices through which individuals build their identity and find stability based on these ties and also to the way in which female leadership affects these processes. This analysis allows us to better understand how people, despite increasing individualisation and changes in traditional social structures, and in a context of permanent change and uncertainty, still value community ties of varying intensity that provide them with a certain sense of anchorage.

The solidarity initiatives that proliferated in urban neighborhoods during the lockdown period decreed at the onset of the coronavirus crisis have generated significant interest within the field of sociology. The facilitating causes that propelled these social processes, as well as those that hindered or thwarted their development, remain subjects of debate. This contribution presents a qualitative analysis of local mutual support initiatives that emerged during that period in three Madrid neighborhoods with differing average incomes, urban profiles, and resident populations: Orcasur, Prosperidad, and Malasaña. The analysis of 32 semi-structured interviews (18 individual and 14 group) conducted two years after the lockdown with residents and key informants in the three mentioned neighborhoods highlights the prominent role of neighborhood associations, informal groups, and volunteers in driving cooperative practices aimed at ensuring the supply of essential goods and the provision of essential services. Similarly, it is important to note the significance of various spontaneous mutual support initiatives led by neighbors in certain proxemic contexts (buildings, streets), as well as the relevance of local shops' actions in the three studied contexts.

This article analyzes the new governance, so the adoption of a collaborative public policy style, in the specific environment of the city of Madrid. In the context of the dialectical relationship between the social fabric of neighborhoods and local public administrations, the article investigates the elements that enhance, discourage or nullify this collaboration, paying special attention to the relevance of neighborhood meeting spaces in the urban environment. The theoretical development focuses on the consideration of the territory and the new governance as well as the articulation of the community fabric and its challenges in the city of Madrid. From the applied point of view, the article takes as a point of reference the qualitative empirical work carried out in three different neighborhoods of the city of Madrid, as a way for analyzing the implementation of this form of public management. The results show the different impact of the action of local governments according to the political intentionality of the public administrations in power at any given time, the socioeconomic characteristics of the territories and the sociodemographic profiles of their inhabitants.

Objective. Estimate the risk of death from SARS-CoV-2 as a function of socio-territorial inequalities in Mexico City during February 2020-June 2022. Materials and methods. A retrospective analysis of death from SARS-CoV-2 by residential neighborhoods, in Mexico City. The Social Development Index (SDI [Consejo de Evaluación de la Ciudad de México, in Spanish]) classifies residential neighborhoods as very low, low, medium, high, and very high social development level, respectively. Results. Deaths in neighborhoods with Very Low and Low SDI represented almost half of the deaths due to SARS-CoV-2. The population residing in the territories with the worst socio-territorial conditions died, on average, 10 years younger than that of the stratum with the best SDI. Conclusions. Differences in the risk of dying from SARS-CoV-2 were associated with the socio-territorial conditions. The risk of death was higher for people residing in neighborhoods with very low and low SDI. These differences were reduced starting with the third wave, possibly because of mass vaccination in Mexico City. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyzes the relationship between gentrification and the economic-gastronomic landscape in two neighborhoods in downtown Mexico City. The objective is to conceptually readjust these terms and to recognize the singularities of their manifestations in Latin America. To this end, a theoretical framework is constructed that outlines the three epistemological cores for the analysis of gentrification in the region and that articulates such concept with cultural commodification and gourmetization. Through a descriptive quantitative analysis, we examine the transformation of the food landscape through the presence and diversification of gastronomic and retail businesses in the Condesa and Santa María La Ribera neighborhoods. The results show that there is a trend towards an increase in commercial activity under the model of mini-supermarkets and other businesses that diversify and, at the same time, homogenize cultural and gastronomic offerings in these neighborhoods. However, the pandemic affected these neighborhoods in a particular way: while in Condesa the proliferation of these businesses slowed down, in Santa María La Ribera they increased their presence. It is concluded that this analytical argument offers a view that can strengthen the qualitative study of the effects developed by gentrification and its consequences in other areas of urban daily life.

This article explores the reproduction of territorial stigmatization in the San Agustín neighborhood, located in Ecatepec, Mexico. Drawing on 21 months of ethnographic research, the article analyzes how territorial stigma is produced and reproduced through the discourses, practices, and interactions of multiple actors positioned at different levels. It argues that stigma unfolds internally as social differentiation, creating a normative structure based on criteria of moral superiority and inferiority. This is manifested in the use of derogatory social categories to refer especially to younger inhabitants and in forms of symbolic distancing among neighbors. The results underscore the moral dimension of stigma and its role in the construction of symbolic and social boundaries in contexts of urban relegation. The study concludes that the reproduction of stigma in the neighborhood is due to a structure based on criteria of superiority and inferiority among residents, which is sustained by a moral evaluation that normalizes the dominant urban symbolic order of central Mexico.

This work constitutes the second part of the one carried out in 2021, whose objective was the analysis of the main problems, derived from unplanned urban expansion, that increase the degrees of socio-environmental vulnerability in popular sectors. For this, a matrix was developed considering three dimensions: environmental, spatial-functional, and social. From this matrix, some popular neighborhoods in the city of La Plata were selected, which required more immediate interventions. Within this framework, the objective of this article is to analyze and evaluate the interventions and management instruments carried out in the selected cases, which contributed to promoting comprehensive territorial management. The methodology is based on making the initial analysis matrix more complex, incorporating actions that constitute an alternative to reduce the vulnerability situation of the popular neighborhoods of La Plata. The first results reflect that some of the aforementioned sectors studied have had initiatives to reduce the situation of vulnerability in which they find themselves. However, the general situation in relation to the intervention for improvements in the habitat of the popular sectors, is far from being a comprehensive territorial management.

The present work constitutes an effort to think about the role of the popular neighborhood space in the configuration of the cultural identities of its inhabitants. With this purpose in mind, we adopted a methodological design with a qualitative approach and a descriptive-comparative scope, since the data analyzed here correspond to two popular neighborhoods in the city of Guayaquil, Ecuador. This article emerges from a two-year research experience, and a total of 16 interviews and 2 discussion groups in Bastión Popular, and 15 interviews and 2 discussion groups in barrio Nigeria are analyzed. The results organized in analytical categories account for 1) the neighborhood landscapes, based on memories about the origins of both neighborhoods and the role of the residents in their initial constitution; 2) the cultural identities of its inhabitants and the elements that account for a territorialized perspective of identity; and 3) the identities of its residents and the contrast with an external other, which takes the form of other popular neighborhoods. We can conclude that the stories of these popular neighborhoods have had the collective action of their residents as a constitutive part of their development and maintenance, and in response, they account for those experiences that have shaped the cultural identities of their inhabitants.

The article in the Prisma Social Magazine analyzes the dynamic activity of women in the local sphere, highlighting their role in the development of specific practices and support networks in urban environments. Research is compiled that examines the participation of women in different neighborhoods of Madrid, as well as in artisanal contexts in Seville and Mexico, and in the fight against polluting activities in Chile. These contributions emphasize the importance of exploring the role of women in urban interaction and the need to investigate experiences related to territory and urban space.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the different manifestations of the studentification process and its relationship with the community dimension in the René Schneider neighborhood of Talca, capital of the Maule Region (Chile), between the years 2007 and 2019. For this, conventional and participatory research techniques were applied that included observation, mapping, conducting commented tours and individual and group indepth interviews. The findings show that, as a result of certain morphological and spatial conditions of the neighborhood and the role of community networks, the physical, economic, social and cultural changes that the settlement of university students has produced in the Rene Schneider population have been reduced in their negative aspects. The community-based management of the studentization process, which translates into a process governed by the community of traditional inhabitants, constitutes a novelty in comparison to other Chilean and international case studies.

The decompositions of the installation Casa Barrio José, in this text, ponder a narrative environment that acts as a de-local-ization of a neighborhood in Mar del Plata (Argentina). In imbrication with narrative, autobiographical and performative research in education, a domestic, everyday and close queer theory is named from it. It initially sought to point out the corruption reproduced in the naming of public space, and then expanded as a house-laboratory. In it, residencies and volunteering led to the sharing of a recognition program for domestic and environmental artist-educator-researchers in nineteen performances, entitled Doctor Honoris Casa. As an epistemic embodiment and beyond its materiality, this inquiry does not position a conscious or voluntarist subject or a neutral and deliverable object, much less an experiment or an experience. Its continuity is in the relationship, in being research. A theoretical exercise and a way of producing knowledge that is inscribed as a life-research in the body-home that inhabits us.

The objective of this article is to research the meanings given to gourmet gastronomy in two popular neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, as part of a broader study on processes of commodification and de-stigmatization in urban community tourism projects. The methodology is based on ethnography that includes participant observation and interviews with owners and managers of the gastronomic spaces, visitors, and government officials involved in the promotion of these spaces. The analysis is complemented by the study of press materials and social network publications in order to observe broader implications. In conclusion, although the urban community tourism projects in the neighborhoods studied have developed unevenly, the gastronomic attractions stand out in both proposals. The findings do not offer definitive conclusions on the following issues: 1) the correlation between the growth of these new ventures and 2) the real threats to the revaluation of the spaces where they are located due to the multiplicity of actors involved, the processes of varying duration associated with the socio-spatial imaginaries attributed to popular neighborhoods, and the dynamics of urban cultural consumption.

The establishment and subsequent configuration of peripheral barrios in Latin America are phenomena intrinsic to the history of these nations. Despite the many years that have passed since the first informal settlements, we are far from being able to comprehend the complex realities of their inhabitants. Against this background and by producing two social cartographies, the purpose of this article is to examine the sociospatial production of peripheral barrios in Guayaquil (Ecuador), particularly Bastión Popular and Nigeria. Drawing on the voices of the inhabitants, these cartographies captured shared experiences and trajectories, revealing the boundaries and bordering processes that (re)produce and condition their social practices in everyday neighborhood space. Social cartographies served as a flexible and suitable methodological tool for symbolizing abstract and concrete elements in the neighborhood territory, establishing connections between the meanings attributed to each neighborhood and the contextual features of the city. The originality of this research and article lies in its use of this methodological tool for understanding these realities in Guayaquil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article aims to interpret the administrative management processes of participatory public works budgets in the Manuela Sáenz Zonal Administration in the period 2018-2023. A hermeneutic phenomenological methodology was chosen and four key informants were selected: director of Territorial Management, director of Participatory Management, a neighborhood leader and a resident, to whom a semi-structured interview was applied. The information collected was categorized and triangulated for subsequent understanding and interpretation. The findings reveal that: a) the management of participatory budgets is not being adequately focused so that the community actively participates in the works selection process, b) low level of participation of residents for the actual detection of needs and c) essential the technical training of citizens for the prioritization of works.

Demographic growth in Colombian municipalities has notably influenced the quality of housing. This article aims to propose a method to characterize the residential building stock of the municipalities located in the cold and temperate climate, structured in three levels of characterization that yield different results: (i) temporary characterization, (ii) housing characterization, and (iii) characterization of the constructive assemblies. In level i, five time periods marked by historical, social, and normative events are obtained. As a result of levels, i and ii, the building taxonomy is drawn, that can be determined based on several criteria: urban location (neighbourhood or urbanization), residential typology (single-family or multi-family), adjacency (isolated, corner or between party walls), and number of floors (1, 2/3, more than 3). In level iii, constructive assemblies are analyzed, and a catalogue of typical assemblies is drawn up for each of the time periods and typologies. The results of the study serve as a tool for government entities to suggest the level of socioeconomic stratification of the dwellings based on the typology and construction quality.

Informal settlements in Latin America generally present high levels of vulnerability as they are located in multi-hazard zones. Faced with this problem, we propose to analyze how disaster risk has been constructed in the peri-urban area of the city of Quito. By means of a mixed methodological design, the case of the parish of El Condado and the neighborhood of Colinas del Norte are analyzed. The qualitative, quantitative, and socio-spatial information processed allows us to show at different scales that, although regularization policies have managed to formalize tenure and ownership in the sector, their legalization has not reversed the risk conditions and, on the contrary, has reproduced and generated other types of physical and social vulnerabilities.

Peer aggression is a multifactorial problem and brings several consequences, among the above is school dropout. The family, community and school are related to the perception of violence and rol that students assume in an episode of violence, though bystander rol is one that has not been studied from its act, which is very important to take into account because there are different types of bystanders and that they can be contradictory in their actions, for example, encouraging bystander who helps the aggressor in an episode of violence, and defender bystander who helps the victim stopping the episode of violence. The aim was to analyze the effect of family cohesion, community attachment and school democracy on the perception of violence according to the bystander role, taking a count encouraging bystander and defender bystander. The present study is non-experimental, cross-sectional and quantitative with an explanatory scope. A sample of 1695 high school students was formed by random cluster technique. Of the sample, 873 (51.5 %) were women and 822 (48.5 %) were men and the age range between 13 and 15 years old. Six instruments were applied: general data questionnaire, FACES III, school life, neighborhood assets, prosocial behavior and school violence perception. About the results, Pearson's correlation analyzes were performed. as well as descriptive analyzes with mean and standard deviation. To get the encouraging bystander role and defender bystander role, cluster analyzes were performed taking into account the bystander, aggressor and prosocial behavior variables. Three moderation models were carried out with independent variable as family cohesion, community attachment and school democracy; dependent variable as school violence perception; and moderator variable as the type of bystander. The results showed that there is no moderation effect in the family cohesion model (β = -.04; p = .46), but the effects suggested that there is an important difference between encouraging bystander and defender bystander. The models of attachment to the community and school democracy obtained a relevant moderation effect (β = -.19; p < .00 and β = -. 15; p < .00), though the conditional effect of community attachment (β = -.07; p = .00) reflected that while the value of said variable increases, the value of encouraging bystander also increases, thus another moderation model was carried out to clarify the results of the community attachment model where the independent variable was the question "¿Do any of your friends belong to a gang?"; dependent variable was community attachment; and moderator variable remained the type of bystander. The results of the last moderation model showed a very strong moderation effect (β = -.27; p < .04) and the conditional effect (β = .24; p = .04) suggested that, for encouraging bystanders, if they have friends who belong to a gang, they increase their community attachment level, clarifying the previous results. Based on the difference found, it was concluded that the family is a relevant factor to explain peer aggression. Some findings were obtained from the obtained results. Firstly, the difference that may exist between the bystanders was verified as well as the difference effects that each socialization context can have on the type of bystander that this is, nevertheless the family cohesion is equally important regardless of the type of role, since this variable decreases the level of perception of violence in schools, regardless of the role assumed by a student. Another thing to note was the community factor, it should be studied in greater depth, since gang activity is an ambivalent factor that predicts the aggressor or encouraging bystander, but also attachment to the community is a factor that is related to the bystander defender, that is because the gang activity is related with the attachment between gang members generating affective cohesion and identifying a place as one's own.

This article, inscribed within a broader investigation of public space and poetic living, analyzes Museo Experimental El Eco, one of the masterpieces of modern architecture in Mexico, where the architectural space participates actively in the presentation of diverse artistic manifestations and the public's emotional, aesthetic, and sensitive experience. "El Eco," a project embedded in the San Rafael neighborhood in Mexico City, was designed and built between 1952 and 1953 by Mathias Goeritz, a grand plastic artist whose work ranges from the field of graphics to urban sculpture. With his great recognition as an artist and a critical vision of modern architecture, Goeritz is presented with the opportunity to shape an architectural project with few programmatic constraints, his understanding of architecture, which, in turn, condenses in his famous manifesto of emotional architecture. The article presents an analysis of the architectural spatiality of this work, focused on the experience of the place and supported by the compilation and study of the background information, visits, tours on different days, photographic shots, and preparation of the respective plans. Goeritz, like the great artist he was, is able to approach architecture as the result of the meeting of emptiness and matter so that the body's emotions and sensations in the space flow to structure of architectural creation.the very meaning [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The small neighborhood squares of Barcelona play a crucial role in shaping the city's urban habitat. Their modest scale and spatial clarity allow them to be seen as open-air rooms where countless daily routines unfold. Using drawing as an analytical tool, this article focuses on the facades surrounding these squares to illustrate the importance of the window beyond its functional or morphological aspects. The text shows that this element determines formal and meaningful aspects that resonate with their inhabitants. By inhabiting the window, the square draws nourishment from its surrounding houses, blurring the boundaries between public and private. Through graphic representation, the value of windows and balconies is recognized, building a simple and modest stage where the shared domesticity of the square's interior contributes to Barcelona's social and formal identity.

This article describes the collective actions by the community of the neighborhood Ciudadela Colsubsidio-El Cortijo in Bogotá, which respond to the socioenvironmental conflict between the State and the people over the dispute of the usage of the territory, during the period 2021-2022. Through ethnomethodology, the factors that produce the socio-environmental conflict were identified, actions that responded to the conflict were systematized and the scope of those actions were analyzed. Therefore, it is said that in Ciudadela Colsubsidio-El Cortijo, the community is rethinking how to live in the neighborhood from a perspective of the right to the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Like many Hispanic cities, the origin of Belchite has so far been approached from an exclusively documentary perspective, which in our case dates, uncertainly, between the 8th and 9th centuries, the settlement of a Berber group next to the old Roman canals. from the Almonacid dam. Our archaeological interventions in 2022 and 2023, through the study of surface material, a survey in Plaza del Salvador, and the analysis of unpublished materials, lead us to propose new lines of work, such as the Hispano-Roman origin of the town, the peripheral location of the Salvador neighborhood in the Medieval Belchite, and the confirmation of the establishment of San Roque as a Mudéjar neighborhood. The identification of two structures of great interest for the urban debate is also provided, such as the location of the castle and the main synagogue of the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La Vuelta del Paraguayo is a riverside neighborhood of the city of Santa Fe that is located in the alluvial valley of the Paraná River and has the peculiarity that it suffers from cyclical flooding. In this article we are interested in investigating what are the strategies of construction of habitability in their own houses to be able to live with the "invasion" of the river. The category of habitability is what will guide us throughout the writing, since it is a notion that allows us to read the problem in terms of gender, because it is women who are socially in charge of making spaces habitable for reproduction. From ethnographic interviews with women who live in the neighborhood, we were able to identify that the construction of the "inhabitable" space has different strategies depending on the height of the river.

Traditionally, scandal has been associated with a negative situation for women in the Ancien Régime. They were considered scandalous if they did not conform perfectly to the limits and models established for them. Even worse, they lost their honour -- both their own and their families'. However, there were exceptional situations, such as in cases of marital violence, in which scandal worked for the benefit of women. Mistreatment was accepted and even consented to by ecclesiastical and civil authorities, but always within certain limits. The main one was disproportion in what were understood as corrective actions by husbands towards their wives, especially when they involved publicity or resulted in a scandal that disrupted the coexistence and tranquillity of the neighbourhood. To analyse this, we have consulted documentation from the Real Chancillería of Valladolid, which has granted us with further insights into the ex officio intervention of justice officials, both in the first instance and on appeal. Thanks to this, we have been able to reconstruct how the justice system worked, how the women's honour was affected in eyes of their neighbours, and if the latter provided any support. More specifically, we have paid particular attention to whether the scandal led the husband to leave the house, thus bringing back pace to the house. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
