Public and private spaces

The time has come to change our thinking and to open our front gardens hidden behind high walls to the street. Together we can return to our typical rural village doorways which have almost disappeared over the time. Let's show our neighbours that we are open to them and offer our front garden with a bench as an attractive semi-public space for meetings and dialogs. If we convert our front garden from a private into a semi-public space, we can help to unify the streetscape. The street will become an attractive and safe public space. Let’s get rid of high fences as a significant barrier, or at least use some lower wooden ones. Let’s move the fence onto the building line of the house as it was in the time of convenient and nice village streets. The rural residential street has the potential to become an attractive and safe public space in an embrace of the greenery, let’s restore the doorways and the affable character of our village streets. The residents will once again become the "masters of the street" instead of currently dominating cars. Front gardens, green strips and islands will thanks to landscape architectural improvements become an adornment of the whole streetscape.

This paper will address the topic of media and everyday life focusing on whether media technologies in everyday life can be seen to create distinctions between public and private space. Here the term media technologies is used broadly collaborating smart phone technologies, tablets, laptops, applications as social media platforms, traditional media such as books, newspapers and magazines. Reference will be made to a small empirical case study based on the film and music library inside The Kulturhuset in Stockholm city centre and aimed to show how private spaces can be created in public spaces.

Turbulence is usually considered a negative property of an organization’s environment. Yet turbulence is also a feature of an organization’s internal dynamics and may be useful for productivity. This article argues that interactions between the formal and informal management of trouble produce relational turbulence that may mobilize resources and collective action, or conversely lead to dysfunction and crisis. The author links relational psychoanalytic theory with social constructionist perspectives in exploring intersubjective dynamics of trouble and its repercussions of turbulence. Based on a longitudinal interorganizational ethnography, an atypical mental healthcare organization is described – a democratic therapeutic community – in which turbulence plays a central function, but in two very different ways. In a restorative mode, turbulence generates formative spaces that are creative and have a regulating function, useful for organizational productivity. Conversely, a perverse mode is destructive and may produce intractable perverse spaces, leading to organizational dysfunction, crisis and even collapse. This is theorized by extending the psychoanalytic concept of liminal, transitional space. In contrast to the notion of transitional space as a safe, protective area, the author develops a model of distinct formative and perverse spaces created by relational turbulence in organizations. In human service organizations, where the generation, trading and management of trouble are inherent in an organization’s internal dynamics, turbulence may be a valuable resource, but one that, in the perverse mode, can be immensely destructive.

This dissertation explores how flamenco performance models intimacy and solidarity in Andalusian communities based in Seville and Morón de la Frontera. The adaptability of flamenco performance underscores the inherent decision-making that goes into determining which physically, socially and affectively constructed environments are appropriate, if not ideal, for making music. Since expression within flamenco is largely based upon collective experience and reciprocal execution, the performance space constitutes a defining element of both social and sonic aesthetics. Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork, I look at how artists and communities are responding to pressing subjects that involve cultural patrimony and protection as well as political corruption and interference. The first two chapters chronicle the maintenance and development of a flamenco guitar tradition in Morón that proliferated into the hands of international students beginning in the 1960s. I analyze how the introduction of recording and sound reproduction technologies in Morón served to create new types of mobility that separate sounds from their original bodies and spaces of production and, in so doing, alter and blur the boundaries between public and private in communities of flamenco performers and listeners. Next, I focus on the work of twenty-first century flamenco group Son de la Frontera, who organized the music of Diego del Gastor into lush and varied arrangements. By tracing this music back through particular genealogies of listening, I reveal how the Morón style has become entangled in larger processes of countercultural and transnational encounters that converge and become audible through the work of Son de la Frontera. In the final two chapters, I discuss how the recent encroachment of institutional capital and decree upon artists and venues has threatened, rather than supported, the local flamenco community in Seville. I demonstrate how members of this community are responding to these attacks through radical forms of performance protest. Highlighting the dangerous and deceptive elements of intangible cultural heritage, I interrogate the ways in which flamenco artists and community members continue to negotiate distinctions between public and private performance in an era of globalized media circulation, neoliberal economic regimes and complex localized structures of kinship and power.

This article discusses a specific type of public space: The Privately Owned Public Space, or POPS, which originated from the 1961 revision of the New York Zoning Resolution, offering legal incentives of increased floor area to buildings providing street-level spaces for public use. POPS with similar regulations can currently be found in cities such as San Francisco, Boston, Detroit, Santiago, Hong Kong and Tokyo. In Brazil, from 2013, the city of São Paulo began to adopt the term " Public Use " for privately owned public spaces in its Strategic Planning Legislation. Changes to cities in recent decades through the spread of large-scale urban projects make this discussion of POPS timely. 'Placemaking' and 'placemarketing' techniques have created places in regions lacking in centrality, which Castello (2013) terms " eccentric centres " , diluting the boundaries between public and private. This article presents the disciplinary context of the discussion of Privately Owned Public Spaces and considers some typological experiences. It then addresses the conflicts they cause in the urban setting and the potential for public appropriation of this type of space. It concludes with the need for a plural understanding of what kind of system of urban spaces might meet the growing demand for urban places, given that conditions in cities are leading exploration of every opportunity for the creation of appropriate public spaces. Perhaps it is in the light of this that authors such as Ascher (2010), Carmona (2014) and Chung et al. (2001) have defined new parameters for dealing with this important element of the urban environment.

Il contributo, attraverso lo studio di due inventari di cittadini romani del Seicento, analizza le modalità di utilizzo dei tessuti e dei parati in stoffa nell'ambito dell'arredo e della disposizione delle collezioni di opere d'arte negli appartamenti "borghesi" del tempo. Ne risulta, da una parte, una chiara volontà di emulazione della classe aristocratica e, dall'altra, una scelta culturale fondata principalmente sul valore intrinseco del tessuto considerato allo stesso tempo decoro di lusso e patrimonio da tramandare ai discendenti della famiglia.

The paper, through the study of two Seventeenth century Roman citizens' inventories, analyzes the ways to use fabrics and wallpaper fabric as part of the furniture and of the arrangement of art collections in the bourgeois apartments of the time. As a result, on the one hand, a clear desire to emulate the aristocracy and, on the other, a cultural choice based primarily on intrinsic material value, considered, at the same time, luxurious decor and heritage to be passed on to the descendants of the family.

An attempt to seek out and understand emerging trends and some of the challenges we face when dealing with an increasing amount and complexity of entertainment technologies in our homes, particularly in spaces that are both private and public. Accepting the premise that this influx of technologies will continue, the author identified some of the challenges that consumers, manufacturers, distributors and creators of content are facing today in incorporating these technologies into home life. Anticipating an imminent transformation, the author proposes a new approach to smart homes and an updated model for content distribution.

Resumen Este trabajo tiene como fin discutir como en la ciudad las personas con sexualidad diferente a la normativa tienen espacios de encuentro y que devienen en la idea de la ciudad diversa; en donde las culturas se traslapan en la ciudad para así comprender la ciudad dentro de las prácticas que hombres gay tienen en Bogotá y partiendo de este objetivo desprendo las nociones de ciudad y de lo urbano. Por tanto, existen lugares en la ciudad con capacidad de adaptación y de modificación dependiendo de aquellos que los sujetos quieren, permitiendo la interacción de diferentes procesos que se comunicaran constantemente. La consolidación de ciudad y de participación son sujetas a las practicas que los individuos tienen sobre el territorio, para este caso explicaremos los espacios homosexuales, permitiendo la apropiación territorial y la construcción de identidad. Elementos que surgen constantemente y que posibilitan la construcción de ciudadano. Esto también se traslada a los espacios privados en la medida que son lugares de exclusión en donde se separa al individuo y se concentran en espacios que suponen un espacio diferenciado, alejado de la ciudadanía incluyente y de los procesos de organización territorial real del territorio. Esto permite la concientización de un proceso de participación que estará dado en la mediada de que cada individuo que pueda acceder o entender y así hacer parte de la comunidad. La metodología de este trabajo se realiza a través de la observación participativa, de caminar por los espacios, de entablar relaciones en los mismos y confrontar las realidades emergentes de aquellos que viven la ciudad gay. Esto permite estructurar el trabajo en tres partes: la primera sobre el proceso de espacios públicos en la ciudad de Bogotá, el segundo sobre los espacios públicos-privados o lugares de encuentro y por último los espacios privado-públicos que son los lugares de homosocialización en donde el individuo se siente en público estando en lo privado, ya que este le da seguridad de poder ser quien realmente es y por ende resulta en una ciudad oculta y cerrada. Esto permitirá describir la ciudad dentro de lógicas diferenciales y que son claramente disidentes a los planteamientos normalistas a los cuales se plantea la ciudad, ya que la misma debe propender por integrar a la ciudadanía, pero en realidad soporta múltiples facetas ocultas y que son derivados de procesos de segregación, discriminación y exclusión. Palabras Clave: Ciudad diversa, Homosexual, Privado-publico, Público-privado. Introducción Pensamos incorrectamente que el espacio público es aquello que es diferente a lo privado, realmente no hay un solo lugar en la actualidad que sea plenamente abierto, todos los espacios son en sí mismos cerrados y a la vez hacen parte de todos. Las personas viven sobre una idea que puede 1 Ponencia presentada en el XV Encuentro de Geógrafos de América Latina, realizado en el Palacio de Convenciones de La Habana Cuba entre el 6 y 10 de abril del 2015.

This research examines the ways in which Bengali men and women " do gender " in the setting of north Kolkata's Indian Coffee House as a converging point of Adda, by expanding upon existing literature on doing gender, ethnography, and narrative interviews. The expression, conceptualisation and performance of gender is further studied under the light of an acclaimed modernity that is informed with and through a colonial identity, suspending the same into a limbo of nostalgia. This research also looks at how certain practices and modes of exchange get credited as ideals of masculinity through the conversations and activities in Adda, and how Bhadrolok masculine identities are produced and circulated in the same, against a constant establishment and re-establishment of the 'non-masculine' and feminine. The findings are based on attempts at capturing 'moments' through ethnography as well as photography.

Architecture always reflects the times, but through architecture a relation to heritage is also established. The building of castles has always been an example of a wider trend demonstrating itself in the return to historical forms of style and the employment of traditional materials and solutions. Along with technology and changes in war doctrine, the decline of the castle as a fortified feudal residence was inevitable. It was not until the mid-19th century that attempts were made to restore deserted castles. Modern architectural forms like the castle, but also the palace and court, conveniently allow one to manifest one’s attachment to tradition. In this paper, the contemporary phenomenon of architecture that refers to historic castle forms in both public buildings as well as private houses – so-called ‘gargamels’ – is analyzed.

This paper is my master thesis for a Master II in ethnology research at Sorbonne V, Paris (2013) . It is written in French.
In publishing this work on academia.edu , instead of keeping it back and transforming it into articles, I would like to make a statement in favour of academic research being freely accessible. The Pirate Party stands for free access to knowledge and it would be incoherent to hold this work back.
This paper explores the dynamics of cultural change in following the traces of a new political group that made it to the parliament of the land of Berlin 18 months ago.
In this master thesis I study the culture of the Piratenpartei, its understanding of its frontiers, the tools it uses and the shared believes. I observe the dynamics of adaption and confrontation taking place in the shared space with the mainstream culture in parliament. Out of this results a culture shock which forces the members of the group to develop different strategies.
In that context I discuss the confrontation of space : the material space as memory preserving a collective narrative and the virtual space with its plurality of narratives. I mention as well the ongoing war about the gouvernance of virtual space.
Through this conflict the narrative of  mainstream culture is influenced and altered. I  demonstrate that through technological change and through a party that is representing this change the collective narratives are transformed and preceptions of history are finally changed.

Here I outline some new thinking regarding Lefebvre's concepts of differential space and the right to the city. The previous empirically orientated chapters in the book point to the potential of differential space but have so far left its nature and processes of production unexplored. Following Goonewardena et al (2008: 13) who argue for the need to take Lefebvre's spatial triad and the production of space ideas as a point of departure and Merrifield (2011) who urges us to go beyond Lefebvre, this chapter seeks to do just that. It does so by incorporating a fusion of differential space and right to the city ideas into contemporary contexts and grounded empirical case studies in the three cities which are the focus of this book. What follows is firstly, a conceptual discussion of the nature of the right to the city and its relationship with differential space. In the discussion below I focus on the ludic aspects and politicised appropriation characteristics of differential space. Secondly, is an analysis and discussion of case study empirical research, which argues that, inadvertently the potential for differential space was created through various heritage-led beautification and urban regeneration schemes

This article shows that the public-private divide has a specific grounding in the history of European capitalism and political thought and that it has been accompanied, from its very inception, by a particular concept of personhood: the isolable individual, and a gendered one, thought of as being a man. Spaces become gendered in this way and the public-private dichotomy is conflated with two other distinctions: male-female and political-apolitical. In this article, a micro-sociology of Palestinian families during the first Intifada helps to demonstrate the artificiality of the taken-for-granted conflations public-private, male-female and political-apolitical. The consequences in terms of gender of such a de-construction of the public-private divide are also investigated. The paper concludes that a different concept of personhood is in operation here and that, if different polities emphasize various concepts of personhood, there is nothing inescapable or unquestionable about our own stereotype of the isolable individual.

Across the world urban semioscapes emerge from multiple and mutually interlocking social activities of the members of sociocultural groups and are established through the deployment of layered configurations of semiotic resources and discourses which index patterns of these activities as well as the underlying norms and values of these groups. A particularly conspicuous semiotic practice which has established itself as a distinct semiotic layer in Slovakia's urban semioscape is one through which social agents declare certain segments of space as private. By erecting 'private property' signs they impose a certain 'power regime' on a physical territory but also imprint upon that space a particular ideological meaning. This practice is particularly salient in Slovakia's geopolitical environment in which the notion of 'privateness' was excluded from official ideology under socialism. As language is a principal semiotic mode for the construction of the practice of constructing private space, the practice can also be looked upon as a sociolinguistic phenomenon indexing the post-1989 political and economic transformation processes in Slovakia; that is, the re-establishment of 'private ownership' within the larger processes of 'rectification' which post-socialist societies underwent in the transformation period. My argument is that the practice is a manifestation of geocultural globalisation on a local scale-level which leads to the emergence of new forms of locality. In the paper I employ Blommaert's (2010) innovative conceptual toolbox of the sociolinguistics of globalisation' along with the analytical practices and procedures of geosemiotics and linguistic landscape, and apply them to the corpus of signs which I believe index this practice and establish the topography of private space' in the urban semioscape examined.

This article undertakes a quantitative and qualitative analysis of probate inventories from a selection of towns and highly urbanized areas from the kingdom of Valencia in the period 1280-1460, which are used to explore the inner distribution of more than 300 housings. Agreeing with the historiographical statement that this period was one of general improvement as to living standards and housing, this article reveals Valencian dwellings were provided with more specialized rooms since the late fourteenth century. This phenomenon was present particularly in the residences of townspeople living in large urban centers. Despite the predominant spatial simplicity of most late medieval housings, this article suggests more people enjoyed a more complex private space, which agreed with the needs of ostentation and privacy that characterized the new domestic culture that developed in the period.

"[…] toplumsallık denen alan cinsiyete dayalı ilişkiler tarafından baştan başa yeniden ve yeniden kurulur; bunun dışında, cinsiyetlendirilmiş-eril/dişil dikotomisi ile iktidar-sız-landırılmış olmayan bir alan yoktur. Dolayısıyla, sosyal bilimlerin bütün disiplinleri kendi kavram ve yönteme dair araçlarını bu gözlükten bakarak yeniden ve yeniden test etmeli ve toplumsallığı, baştan sona cinsiyetlendirilmiş bir kurgu olarak-baştan sona sınıflara ayrıştırılmış bir kurgu olduğu gibi-yeniden kavramayı denemelidirler." (Sancar 2003) Toplumda ikilikler üzerinden kurulmayan ilişki bulmak oldukça zor haldedir, tüm farklı politik perspektiflerden insanlar çoğunlukla ikilik inancında buluşur, karşıt olarak ya da yan yana olarak. İyi-kötü, doğru-yanlış, siyah-beyaz, 1-0 ve daha nicesi hayatımızın birçok alanında temel oluşturur. İnsan nüfusunu da benzer şekilde kadın-erkek olarak ikiye böleriz, ardından heteroseksüel-homoseksüel, trans-natrans gibi sayısız cinsiyet/cinsel kimlik ikilikleri devam eder. Bu alanda çoğul düşünme henüz oldukça yeni bir pratiktir. Birçok toplumsallık kadın-erkek üzerinden kurgulanır, kadınlık/feminenlik bir tarafta erkeklik/maskülenlik diğer tarafta yer alır. Birinden biri olmak zorundadır ve zıt olmak zorundadır bu kavramlar/olgular. Kadın duygusaldır, o halde erkek değildir; erkek güçlüdür, o halde kadın değildir… Kadın, olağan insan olan erkeğin olumsuz ötekisi olarak kurgulanmıştır. Mekân bağlamında iç-dış ve özel-kamusal olarak kurgulanan ikilik yine kadın-erkek ikiliğine karşılık gelmiştir. Çakır (2009), Yuval Davis ve Anthias'ın ve de Kandiyoti'nin kadının toplumun biyolojik ve kültürel yeniden üreticisi olduğu ifadesini aktarır ve kadın manevi olanın devamlılığını sağlayan olarak, denetlenen olduğunu ifade eder. Bu bağlamda kadın "özel mekâna", konuta, kapatılır ve kamusal mekânda bulunması hoş görülmez. Bulunduğumuz coğrafyada Osmanlı'nın son dönemlerine kadar evin dışına çıkamayan kadınlar, üzerinden geçen 200 yıla rağmen hala evle özdeşleştirilir ve bu durum Batı'da da çok farklı durumda değildir. Çakır (2009) hane dışındaki mekânlara girmenin devlet tarafından kurallarca belirlediğini ifade eder. Burada aslında hane dışındaki her mekânın kamusal, hanenin özel olarak görüldüğü iddia edilebilir. Fermanlarla kadınların kenti nasıl kullanıp kullanamayacağı, ne giyip giyemeyeceği, hangi araçları kullanıp kullanamayacağı, hane dışında nasıl davranacakları; yani kamusal mekânda tüm davranışları detaylı bir şekilde anlatılmıştır (Çakır, 2009). Bu fermanlarda erkeklerle kadınların bir araya gelmemesi gerektiği, kadının hane dışına çıkması üzerinden anlatılmıştır. Dacheux (2012),-Habermas, Arendt ve Sennett'in çalışmaları doğrultusunda-kamusal alanı: (1) Politikanın meşrulaştırılma yeri, (2) politik cemaatin temeli, (3) politikanın görünürlük kazandığı bir sahne olarak tanımlar. Bu tanım doğrultusunda aklımıza ilk sokaklar, meydanlar ve parklar geliyor çoğunlukla; ancak bu bağlamda en özel mekân olarak tanımladığımız yuva oldukça kamusal bir mekândır ya da tam tersi olarak bazen parklar veya kamu yapıları özel mekândır. Duncan (2005), özel mekânın geleneksel olarak, ve aşkınlık kavramlarıyla idealize edildiğini ifade eder. Bu iki kavram zıtlık üzerine kuruludur. Kamusal-özel mekân dikotomisi çoğunlukla ev ve dışarısı şeklinde tezahür eder. Evin tek bir biçimde var olduğu ve bunun da güvenli yuva olduğu düşüncesi oldukça yaygındır; ancak bu inanış sayısız örneklerle kolaylıkla çürütülebilir. Yuva, oldukça politik olarak, şiddetin, tacizin, tecavüzün, disiplinin, ayrımcılığın, sömürünün mekânı olarak oldukça aşkındır; öte yandan sosyalleşmenin, örgütlenmenin, güçlenmenin de mekânı olarak içkin olabilir. Buna zıt olarak ise yuva

Change and transformation are inevitable phenomenon of life. As lifestyles change, people's way of spending leisure time also changes. The trade centers as a part of the recent transformations in Albanian urban lifestyle is the focus of this research. Characteristics of the Albanian way of using shopping malls, and their social and spatial consequences, are investigated through a case study in Tirana. The field survey was carried out in three shopping centers. It was done through user surveys, and various observations are used to enrich the analysis. Leisure and recreational preferences, and the factors affecting these preferences, are investigated and analyzed through questionnaires. Urban open public spaces such as parks seem to lose their popularity as shopping malls have become the new leisure centers due to the increasing need "to consume" of today's societies. The findings suggest that trade centers are favorite places to spend leisure time for Tirana population. Multi functionality, climate control and security are some of the most important factors that affect the preference of trade centers. However, the increasing popularity of trade centers may cause a decrease in the use of green spaces, resulting in poor urban life quality. Both local and central government should define the leisure behavior patterns of the public to develop appropriate policies and strategies that would promote the quality of urban life.

We explore how doctors, psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK react to regulatory transparency, drawing on qualitative research involving 51 semi-structured interviews conducted during 2008-10. We use the concept of ‘reactivity mechanisms’ (Espeland and Sauder, 2007) to explain how regulatory transparency disrupts practices through simplifying and decontextualizing them, altering practitioners' reflexivity, leading to defensive forms of practice. We make an empirical contribution by exploring the impact of transparency on doctors compared with psychotherapists and counsellors, who represent an extreme case due to their uniquely complex practice, which is particularly affected by this form of regulation. We make a contribution to knowledge by developing a model of reactivity mechanisms, which explains how clinical professionals make sense of media and professional narratives about regulation in ways that produce emotional reactions and, in turn, defensive reactivity to transparency.

The essay that the reader is holding in his hands is an attempt to understand the extent to which, in the present-day, we are watching the return of a visibility, exposure and surveillance system that a utilitarian author like Jeremy Bentham baptized of Panopticon, or “place where everything is seen”. In fact, the pinnacle of the “information society”, and the present scenario of widespread surveillance intensified by the establishment of Security State post-September 11th, has implications in the practices of control over individuals on a daily basis, what Deleuze calls “societies of control” at the same time it contributes to the frontiers dilution between the public sphere and the private sphere. In this sense, we consider it is important to do a review on “disciplinary societies” surveillance and the control of “biopower” theorized by Michel Foucault tosubsequently realize how new surveillance technologies increase, exponentially, the subjects’ transparency.

The article studies the division of gender roles in nineteenth-century British and American societies. It deals first with man's possession of public spaces and imprisoning of woman in the private sphere, then focuses on woman's resistance to this policy while invading man’s public zone in search for freedom and independence. The emphasis is put on woman’s religious, political and theatrical performance in the nineteenth century as features of self-expression and a translation of her desire to conquer the public world and unbind herself from the domestic sphere in which she has been confined.

Key words: nineteenth century – private – public – performance – identity - freedom

La figura de María Buschental (1815-1891) ha sido escasamente investigada hasta la fecha, algo sorprendente al tratarse de un miembro destacado de la vida cotidiana de Madrid que dinamizó durante años un importante salón. La organización de su tertulia, que conservó las características típicas de estas desde su eclosión en Francia, durante más de 40 años fue lo que le permitió sobrepasar algunos límites que estaban asociados con su género. En este artículo, reconstruimos su biografía y analizamos las dinámicas que se establecieron en su tertulia a lo largo del tiempo. Gracias a su idiosincrasia, nuestra protagonista consiguió convertir su salón en un lugar limítrofe entre el espacio público y el privado, lo que le permitió participar de manera indirecta en la política de su época.

María Buschental (1815-1891) has been scarcely researched, which is surprising because she was a prominent member of Madrid's daily life because for many years she organized an important salon. The organization of her soirées, which preserved the characteristics of these since its hatching in France, for over 40 years was what allowed her to overcome some limits that were associated with her gender. In this article, we reconstruct her biography and analyze the dynamics that were established in her soirées over time. Thanks to her idiosyncrasy, our protagonist managed to turn her salon into a place on the border between public and private space, which allowed her to participate indirectly in the politics of her time.

Nesse TCC eu discuto o conceito de espaço, como proposto pela Geografia, e como este modifica-se não pela "relação ser humano x natureza", mas sim pelas diferentes formas que homens e mulheres o constituem. Para isso, analiso os espaços da casa, da fábrica (trabalho), e da rua e os modos de apreensão destes pelas mulheres.
This paper intends to discuss the different nuances of appropriation of private and public spaces by women, contemplating the contribution of Geography in the discussions of space. In this way, the research is based on the theoretical discussion about the main object of study of geography and, therefore, the different spaces produced by social arrangements. The relationships that women currently establish with urban space suggests a gradual emancipation of the concepts about the feminine role and its performance in life in society. Child rearing and
domestic care have ceased to be just a relegation to the female figure and this is due, among other factors, to the entry of women into the labor market. Urban spaces, by offering better living conditions, but mainly access to information, provide, on the one hand, the breakdown of the paradigm of the maternal figure and the insertion of women in the workplace and, on the other hand, it promotes new forms of oppression and exploitation of the new arrivals in urban commercial centers and in other spheres of public space. The (re)production of space by women, in the search for emancipation, will be the motivation to analyze the influence of the advance of capital in the forms of interaction of the human being with nature. To understand this interdependence relationship we search re-evaluate the concept of geographic space and
the need to update it in its treatment.

В рамках данного исследования использование пространства осмысляется через фрейм-анализ Эрвинга Гоффмана на примере антикафе и свободных пространств. Здесь допускаются различия в понимании, «что это за место», поэтому допустимо предположить, что социальная реальность в антикафе может быть представлена как матрица фреймов, которые различаются по степени «приватности». Посетители сами регулируют степень «приватного» и тем самым конструируют или, наоборот, разрушают дополнительные барьеры, направленные на поддержку порядка взаимодействия. Проявление невидимых границ приватного пространства внутри публичного определяет проблему исследования. Три исследуемых места, представленные как формально «равные», в действительности оказались тремя различными моделями социальной организации пространства.

Using the methods of the Goffmanian tradition, I explore the issue of public and private in contemporary garden cooperatives to answer the question how people perceive and use in their daily lives the new notions of public and private, which penetrated the sphere of legislation, politics and state ideology in Post-Socialist Russia. The results of my research allow me to describe the situation as a search for a new balance between individual privacy and collective solidarity in society; I also show the strong influence of the legacy of Soviet ideology and practices on this process. The thesis contributes to research on the public and private dichotomy in Soviet and Post-Soviet society. i CEU eTD Collection

Scholarship examining the significance of space in Richardson’s novels is comprehensive. Karen Lipsedge, for instance, examines “the relationship which Richardson establishes between domestic space, garden buildings and gender.” However, although the scholarship proposes different social, gendered, artistic, metaphorical and symbolic significances of space in Pamela, a study on the meaning of space in connection to the psychology of the female protagonist is missing.

В статье рассматривается феномен краткосрочной сдачи жителями города Байкальска собственного жилья туристам. Хозяева проживают в данных квартирах, но покидают их на момент аренды. Материалами для анализа послужили интервью и наблюдения, проводимые в Байкальске в рамках различных проектов с 2006 по 2016 год, а также данные статистики и интернет-источники. Для более детального описания явления выбрана концепция гетеротопии, которая позволяет преодолеть дихотомию «публич- ное — приватное» и выделить следующие черты феномена аренды жилья: 1) нефор- мальный характер практики сдачи жилья в аренду; 2) возможность фиксировать в од- ном и том же месте особенности проявления и наложения приватного и публичного пространств, сопоставлять их; 3) сетевые связи между арендаторами и арендодателя- ми; 4) гетерохрония, возникающая, когда покидающий своё приватное пространство арендодатель на время меняет свои привычки и ритуалы, в то время как у арендатора это пространство ассоциируется с отдыхом и развлечением. Сдача собственного жи- лища может быть рассмотрена и как искусство решения практических задач. Данные навыки особенно актуальны в случае сообществ, переживающих переходный период.

Existing studies of urban riots, violent protest and other instances of contentious politics in urban settings have largely tended to be either event-or time-specific in their scope. The present thesis offers a spatial reading of such politics of contention in the city of Athens, Greece. Tracing the pattern of the occurrence of these instances through time, the research scope of the thesis spans across Greece's post-dictatorial era (i.e. post-1974, the Greek Metapolitefsi), concluding shortly after the first loan agreement between the country's national government and the so-called 'troika' of lenders (IMF/ECB/EU).

Based on thorough ethnographic descriptions, this article analyses retirees' collective activities in Beijing public parks where co-presence and interactions between formerly unacquainted individuals have evolved into achieved relations of familiarity and friendship. Focusing on how people define, enact, and manage the relationships with those they 'have
fun' with, I show that the forms of mutual knowing developed through joint participation often blur the boundaries between the private, parochial and public realms on the one hand,
and between community and anonymity on the other hand. While the urban experience in the Chinese context has been viewed as constituted through both 'face' (i.e. communitarian) and 'faceless' (i.e. anonymous) interactions, I argue that these are but two conceptual poles which cannot exhaust the complex nature of social relationships that arise from urban encounters. Activity-orientated friendships in Beijing parks involve wide-ranging forms of mutual knowing, which shape a pleasurable urban experience as much as they are infused with the 'ethics of indifference' peculiar to city living. As retirees initiate and sustain pleasurable interactions, these forms of sociality do not entail tight reciprocal commitments. Instead of
viewing the situations in which friendships are produced as an instantiation of the 'broader contexts' in which they are embedded, I suggest that these everyday spatial practices and
convivial interactions should be considered for their intrinsic analytical value rather than as a response to external processes.
