In this paper, we analyze the construction of space in two short stories from the Portuguese-language literatures: "O feto", by the Angolan author João Melo, and "Monólogo de Tuquinha Batista", by the Brazilian author Aníbal Machado. More specifically, we focus on how are aesthetically composed the Angolan countryside and city, in the first case, and Rio de Janeiro city's periphery and south side, in the second one. We suppose that the members of each pair of spaces reveal themselves as entirely opposite to one another: on the one hand, the Angolan countryside as well as Rio's periphery would be considered with absolutely positive eyes by the narrators of each text; on the other, the Angolan city as well as Rio's south side would be regarded with a completely negative disposition by the same characters. In order to verify whether this hypothesis is true or not, we adopt, as an analytical concept, the notion of space as focalization, point of view, or perspective, and emphasize, as analytical principles, the condition of the protagonists of each narrative as literary individuals as well as the aesthetic nature of the four spaces highlighted in this study.

This paper aims to discuss how, in contemporary, everyday life in the city is crossed by the cyberspace, which ushered in new flows, affections and allegories, particularly with the advent of digital social networks. In this cut, we question how narratives about the city of Rio de Janeiro on the social network Facebook publicize relationships they establish tuned sense of production to the company's characteristics in network, where the paradox of mobility is configured in conjunction with the mediated representation of space and experience of urban life.

In this paper, our main goal was to present a discussion about small familial organizations inside Mercadão de Madureira (in Rio de Janeiro). The discussion is based on a study of multiple cases. We intended to comprehend how families could survive facing contextual changes along almost a century. We wanted to know which tactics and strategies were used by managers and other subjects involved in familial organizations in order to guarantee their survival. We worked, in this case, with the concept of strategy as practice, which is associated with the perspective of everyday life and influences individuals' practical knowledge. We also based on social representations as a way to relate representation and action. In order to reach our goals, we chose a qualitative methodological approach, because this would be the most appropriate one, considering our theoretical perspective of strategy as practice and process. Qualitative approach allows better observations, arising from associations between research subjects, research locus and researcher. Empirical work was developed by in loco interviews. Conversations were recorded, transcripted and then analyzed according to elements proposed by Discourse Analysis area. Data analysis took into account the identification of implicit ideas (presupposed and inferred), thematic courses and polyphony. From interpretation of collected data, we could comprehend that strategic processes performed by organizational managers are metamorphosed in an everyday basis, continuing carving and polishing practical knowledge and space itself. In addition, we could understand that strategic practices are not delineated only inside familial organizations, because they are never alone in everyday practices. Tactics and strategies are supported by each other. In this way, they all together end up building the Mercadão de Madureira organization. In a nutshell, we observed that, besides all perspectives pointed by spatial representation literature, it is necessary to focus on such representations (physical and symbolical). Indeed, symbolical space was considered a key-element to our research. The paper's originality resides on the way we have studied strategy. We avoided the perspective that subjects (managers of their own organization) cannot develop social practices with strategic and tactic senses in order to maintain their businesses and their families.

Funk carioca is a popular type of music in Brazil, produced and consumed mainly by the youth in the slums of Rio de Janeiro, known as favelas. More than entertainment and work, funk is a form of identity for the youngsters dwelling in the favelas. This paper combines linguistic analysis with ethnography in order to demonstrate that identities forged along such lines rely on a specific language in which funk performers re-signify their own social experiences and build a new cartography of the city. In such language, the slum is no longer a space of barbarism. It is instead a neighborhood where many of these young people live and enact their everyday practices [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
