Local Commons: A visual approach to collective city making through situated community engagement

Due to the numerous possibilities of voicing concerns and the flood of data we are exposed to, local issues are sometimes at risk of being overlooked. This study explores Local Commons, a design intervention in public space that combines situated digital and tangible media in order to engage communities in contributing and debating different perspectives on a given local issue. The intervention invited the community to submit images of their perspectives on the issue, which were displayed on a public screen. Via tangible buttons in front of the screen, community members then agree or disagree on the displayed perspectives, creating a space for deliberation. In a user study, we were specifically interested in testing three aspects of our intervention, which are discussed in this paper: The difference that situatedness, visual content, and tangible interaction can make to urban community engagement.

La modernizaci��n entre cafetales : San Jos��, Costa Rica, 1880-1930

This work examines the urban modernization of San Jos��, Costa Rica, between 1880 and 1930, using a cultural approach to trace the emergence of the bourgeois city in a small Central American capital, within the context of order and progress. As proposed by Henri Lefebvre, Manuel Castells and Edward Soja, space is given its rightful place as protagonist. The city, subject of this study, is explored as a seat of social power and as the embodiment of a cultural transformation that took shape in that space, a transformation spearheaded by the dominant social group, the Liberal elite. An analysis of the product built environment allows us to understand why the city grew in a determined manner: how the urban space became organized and how its infrastructure and services distributed. Although the emphasis is on the Liberal heyday from 1880-1930, this study also examines the history of the city since its origins in the late colonial period through its consolidation as a capital during the independent era, in order to characterize the nineteenth century colonial city that prevailed up to 1890 s. A diverse array of primary sources including official acts, memoirs, newspaper sources, maps and plans, photographs, and travelogues are used to study the initial phase of San Jose s urban growth. The investigation places the first period of modern urban growth at the turn of the nineteenth century within the prevailing ideological and political context of Positivism and Liberalism. The ideas of the city s elite regarding progress were translated into and reflected in the physical transformation of the city and in the social construction of space. Not only the transformations but also the limits and contradictions of the process of urban change are examined. At the same time, the reorganization of the city s physical space and the beginnings of the ensanche are studied. Hygiene as an engine of urban renovation is explored by studying the period s new public infrastructure (including pipelines, sewer systems, and the use of asphalt pavement) as part of the Saneamiento of San Jos��. The modernization of public space is analyzed through a study of the first parks, boulevards and monuments and the emergence of a new urban culture prominently displayed in these green spaces. Parks and boulevards were new public and secular places of power within the modern city, used by the elite to display and educate the urban population into the new civic and secular traditions. The study goes on to explore the idealized image of the modern city through an analysis of European and North American travelogues and photography. The new esthetic of theatrical-spectacular representation of the modern city constructed a visual guide of how to understand and come to know the city. A partial and selective image of generalized urban change presented only the bourgeois facade and excluded everything that challenged the idea of progress. The enduring patterns of spatial and symbolic exclusion built into Costa Rica s capital city at the dawn of the twentieth century shed important light on the long-term political social and cultural processes that have created the troubled urban landscapes of contemporary Latin America.

Sisustaminen on kuin k��sialaa : Carin Bryggman ja Lasse Ollinkari sisustusarkkitehdin ammatissa 1940- ja 1950-luvulla

"Interior Design is Like Handwriting." Carin Bryggman and Lasse Ollinkari as Interior Designers in the 1940s and 1950s My dissertation deals with the emergence of the interior designer's profession in Finland with focus on the 1940s and 1950s, the postwar years of reconstruction and modernism, as the historical context. The topic is addressed at both the collective and individual levels. Specific subjects of study are the training of interior designers (also known as interior architects), the association of Finnish interior architects (Sisustusarkkitehdit SIO), the professional field and its public image and two leading designers, Carin Bryggman (1920 1993) and Lasse Ollinkari (1921 1993). Though respected figures within the field, Bryggman and Ollinkari have otherwise remained little known and studied. My study presents a great deal of new empiria. The main materials consist of the documents of related institutions and the archives of Bryggman and Ollinkari, in which drawings and photographs figure prominently. The drawings illustrate in a new way the variety of professional tasks in the field. My results are also based on a large body of interviewed material. The materials are approached from two theoretical perspectives, with gender and margins as core concepts from the perspective of women's studies. The even gender division of Finnish interior designers revealed a difference with regard to neighbouring occupations and other countries. I claim that the division of tasks was not defined by gender. The second theoretical basis is the sociological study of professions. The high professional status achieved by interior designers is shown by the fact that of the many related titles in Finnish and Swedish, such as "furniture draughtsman" or "interior artist", interior architect became the established one, despite opposition from architects. My hypothesis that the professionalization of interior designers took place during the two postwar decades proved to be correct. The profession emerged through specialized education and became established with the founding of its own professional organization. From the outset, the goal was to mark a distinction between professionals of interior and furniture design and other designers and architects. Interior designers became a strong and successful modern professional group, involved in a wide range of projects from objects to interiors. Keywords: interior designers, interior architects, interior art, occupations, gender, professions, interior design, furniture, home, public space, Carin Bryggman, Lasse Ollinkari, the Sisustusarkkitehdit SIO association, 1940s and 1950s, reconstruction, modernism.

Discovering urban citizenship in the surveillance society

Cities and urban spaces around the world are changing rapidly from their origins in the industrialising world to a post-industrial, hard wired landscape. A further embellishment is the advent of mobile media technologies supported by both existing and new communications and computing technology which claim to put the urban dweller at the heart of a new, informed and ���liberated��� seat of participatory urban governance. This networked, sensor enabled society permits flows of information in a multitude of directions ostensibly empowering the citizenry through ���smart��� installations such as ���talking bus stops��� detailing services, delays, transport interconnections and even weather conditions along desired routes. However, while there is considerable potential for creative and transformative kinds of citizen participation, there is also the momentum for ���function-creep���, whereby vast amounts of data are garnered in a broad application of urban surveillance. This kind of monitoring and capacity for surveillance connects with attempts by civic authorities to regulate, restrict, rebrand and reframe urban public spaces into governable and predictable arenas of consumption. This article considers questions around the possibilities for retaining and revitalising forms of urban citizenship, set in the context of Marshall���s original premise of civil, social and political citizenship(s) in the middle of the last century, following World War Two and the coming of the modern welfare state.

Claiming the Lane way

The purpose of "Claiming the Lane way" was to question the identity and potential use of Brisbane lane ways through the application of street furniture design in collaboration with industry partners and local stakeholders. The basis for student furniture design and prototype construction was provided by the site specific stakeholders brief requirements. This engagement extended to the donation of construction materials, structural engineering expertise, funding and ultimately the multi disciplinary public exhibition event - "Changing Lanes". The lane way was demonstrably activated through the language of design and creative expression to bring a community together as well as identifying the potential of the lane way as significant and valuable public space in the urban environment.

The last avant-garde?: Disability arts and (rethinking) mobility

Taking as its starting point a remark by Turner Prize nominee Yinka Shonibare that disability arts is ���the last avant garde���, this panel focuses on the role of aesthetic experimentation in disability arts and the possible rethinking of the relationship between avant-garde aesthetic strategies and inclusive arts. Points of connection between the avant-garde and disability arts include a rejection of traditional aesthetic forms, the development of aesthetic strategies appropriate to non-normative bodies, politics and populations and the implications of these ideas for the conference themes. This panel is intended as a facilitated discussion involving researchers and artists undertaking work in this area. The panel will begin with some brief provocations reflecting on the implication of Shonibare���s comment. For example, Gerard Goggin will discuss three projects by Antoni Abad with artists and activists with disability in Barcelona, Geneva and Montreal as part of Abad���s Megaphone project, a decade-long, global digital art project. Bree Hadley will speak on performative interventions in public space, performance art, live art, activism and culture hacking by artists with disabilities, such as pwd's online performances, and artist���s performative responses to the austerity agenda in the US, UK, and Australasia. Eddie, Lachlan and Sarah will discuss ideas arising from their work on the project Beyond Access: The Creative Case for Inclusive Arts, which involved research with six Melbourne-based artists/artistic companies with disability, supported by Arts Access Victoria. Chair: Dr Eddie Paterson (School of Culture and Communication, Faculty of Arts, University of Melbourne) Dr Bree Hadley (Creative Industries, QUT) Professor Gerard Goggin (Professor of Media and Communication and ARC Future Fellow, University of Sydney) Dr Lachlan MacDowall (Head, Centre for Cultural Partnerships, University of Melbourne). Sarah Austin (PhD candidate, Theatre/Centre for Cultural Partnerships, VCA and MCM) Artists (tbc, based on existing relationships with artists developed in the Beyond Access research).

Sulkeuman ja neuvottelun ehdoilla : asiantuntija-aseman rakentuminen ty��el��m��ss��

Closure and negotiation constructing professional position in working life The aim of the thesis is to analyse how professional positions are constructed in working life. A professional position refers to a formal professional membership, but also to a position at a work site. Formal jurisdiction provides resources for supporting a position, but the relations, practices and processes at the work site strongly shape it as well. Professional membership includes two gates: obtaining a professional diploma and access to a professional post. The concept of a professional position is based on two sub-concepts: legitimation and authority. Legitimation is society-level jurisdiction over professioning. Legitimation can be claimed in legislation, in the public space and the media, and at the work site. Authority requires constructing professional work territories and practicing authority in work-related decision making processes. The thesis is based on five articles which deal with the following topics: gendered professional careers; organising professional work; the impact of the social and cultural backgrounds when striving for professional positions; and models of research work. The articles represent two types of sociological research: the structural approach with quantitative methodology and the approach of micro-social analysis with qualitative methodology. The first approach was suitable for analyzing professional career formation and its social and ethnic conditions. The second approach has been applied in the articles dealing with the organization of professional work and models of research work. I have combined and analysed the results of these studies under the theoretical frame of the professional position in working life. Legislation is the most powerful form of legitimation. Professional membership is strongly regulated in disciplines where a degree requirement is defined by law. In addition, closures related to social conditions still affect professional positions, but their character is loose and changing. The closures related to social conditions are based on many mutually overlapping principles: social, cultural and ethnic backgrounds and gender. Despite the closures, professional experts have to negotiate their positions, particularly when the situation in the work sites and society changes. Professional authority is reinforced at the organizational level by legislation; when the institutional status of a public sector professional organization is defined by law, it reinforces the professional position of the employees. In the business line of new media, the employees need to negotiate with the management, other professional groups and clients when striving for reinforce their professional position.

���And now to the rest of the trash������ Representations of begging Roma and an ideal society in two Nordic newspapers

Since begging East European Roma became a common view in the streets of larger Nordic cities, vivid discussions about their presence and activities have been carried out in the mass media. This thesis examines the public debates in Finland and Norway through a discursive analysis and comparison of press content from the two countries. The aim of the study is firstly to identify the prominent discourses which construct certain images of the beggars, as well as the elements and internal logics that these discourses are constructed around. But in addition to scrutinizing representations of the Roma, also an opposite perspective is applied. In accordance with the theoretical concept of ���othering���, debates about ���them��� are assumed to simultaneously reveal something significant about ���us���. The second research question is thus what kind of images of the ideal Finnish and Norwegian societies are reflected in the data, and which societal values are salient in these images. The analysis comprises 79 texts printed in the main Finnish and Norwegian quality newspapers; Helsingin Sanomat and Aftenposten. The data consists of news articles, editorials, columns and letters to the editor from a three-month period in the summer of 2010. The analysis was carried out within the theoretical and methodological framework of critical discourse analysis as outlined by Norman Fairclough. A customized nine-step coding scheme was developed in order to reach the most central dimensions of the texts. Seven main discourses were identified; the Deprivation-solidarity, Human rights, Order, Crime, Space and majority reactions, Authority control, and Authority critique discourse. These were grouped into two competing normative stances on what an ideal society looks like; the exclusionary and the inclusionary stance. While the exclusionary stance places the begging Roma within a frame of crime, illegitimate use of public space and threat to the social order, the other advocates an attitude of solidarity and humanitarian values. The analysis points to a dominance of the former, although it is challenged by the latter. The Roma are ���individualized��� by quoting and/or presenting them by name in a fair part of the Finnish news articles. In Norway, the opposite is true; there the beggars are dominantly presented as anonymous and passive. Overall, the begging Roma are subjected to a double bind as they are faced with simultaneous expectations of activity and passivity. Theories relating to moral panics and ���the good enemy��� provide for a deepened understanding of the intensity of the debates.

A contribui����o das tecnologias n��o-invasivas de cuidado de enfermagem para o empoderamento feminino na gravidez e no parto: adapta����o do modelo de promo����o da sa��de de Nola Pender

Trata-se de um estudo do tipo estudo de caso, na abordagem qualitativa, que visa a analisar as viv��ncias das mulheres que utilizaram as tecnologias n��o-invasivas de cuidado de enfermagem durante a gravidez e o parto e discutir quais e como essas tecnologias estimularam o empoderamento nelas. Para isso foram utilizadas refer��ncias que abordem conceitos de g��nero, empoderamento e tecnologias. Como referencial te��rico foi utilizado a de Promo����o da Sa��de de Nola Pender que, a partir da identifica����o dos fatores biopsicossociais do indiv��duo, busca influenciar comportamentos saud��veis, visando ao bem-estar como proposta de promo����o da sa��de. O cen��rio do estudo foi a Casa de Parto David Capistrano Filho, localizada no munic��pio do Rio de Janeiro, e contou com a participa����o de dez mulheres que pariram na Casa. Para a coleta de dados, foi elaborado um diagrama semelhante ao de Pender, contendo alguns aspectos biopsicossociais das mulheres que pudessem ter influ��ncia na viv��ncia de empoderamento delas. As entrevistas aconteceram entre os meses de mar��o e maio de 2010. Os dados produzidos foram analisados e transformados em tr��s categorias: caracter��sticas e viv��ncias individuais da mulher; conhecimentos, sentimentos e influ��ncias, na gravidez e no parto, a partir do uso das tecnologias; e o resultado do empoderamento. A tecnologia relacional, como o acolhimento, o v��nculo e a escuta sens��vel, influenciou de forma ben��fica as mulheres desde o momento que elas iniciaram o pr��-natal na Casa, j�� que no in��cio da gravidez algumas tinham receio com as mudan��as do corpo e com as responsabilidades da maternidade. A dor do parto tamb��m foi outra preocupa����o citada por desconhecerem a fisiologia do processo. Mas, atrav��s de tecnologias como a de informa����o, de apoio, de potencializa����o de express��o corporal, de favorecimento da presen��a do acompanhante e de respeito de escolha delas, o parto acabou sendo calmo, tranq��ilo, acolhedor e prazeroso. Com isso, as tecnologias contribu��ram para as viv��ncias de fortalecimento do v��nculo com o beb��, na maior autoconfian��a em parir e no preparo da maternidade que despertou nelas um desejo de serem pessoas de opini��es pr��prias e de terem uma forma����o profissional para garantir um bom futuro para o filho. Percebeu-se, nesse estudo, que as tecnologias favoreceram o empoderamento delas em parir numa Casa de Parto sendo assistidas por enfermeiras obstetras. No entanto, elas ainda se mostram passivas �� domina����o masculina quando valorizam a capacidade feminina em conquistar o espa��o p��blico masculino, mesmo em detrimento de suas reais necessidades, mostrando a import��ncia de mais discuss��o sobre a tem��tica a fim de vislumbrar novas tecnologias que auxiliem ��s mulheres a transpor esse empoderamento, adquirido durante a gravidez e o parto, para o seu dia a dia.

As cores do movimento negro: narrativas, identidade e reconhecimento no espa��o p��blico

Nesta tese analisamos os discursos e as pr��ticas dos grupos e pessoas que comp��em o movimento negro no processo de constru����o de uma identidade social no Brasil contempor��neo. O movimento negro brasileiro, a exemplo do que acontece com outros movimentos sociais gerados na modernidade ocidental, instrumentaliza um constructo de identidade social espec��fica dentro do espa��o p��blico como forma de pleitear repara����es pelos danos causados pela escravid��o e a����es de inclus��o da popula����o afrodescendente na sociedade como cidad��os com direitos iguais. Al��m de fontes bibliogr��ficas, nossa metodologia se baseou na realiza����o de entrevistas com militantes, participa����o em reuni��es e eventos, an��lise de coment��rios postados em comunidades virtuais, de depoimentos de hist��rias de vida, bem como de publica����es diversas associadas ao movimento negro. A an��lise das narrativas e pr��ticas do movimento negro nos remeteu �� pesquisa acerca da historiografia e das teorias sobre a escravid��o no Brasil, sobre a inser����o do negro na sociedade brasileira e, especialmente, sobre os elementos de forma����o identit��ria do militante negro. Conclu��mos indicando o car��ter contradit��rio dos processos de forma����o identit��ria e das demandas pol��ticas do movimento negro que se mobiliza a favor da igualdade de todos os cidad��os brasileiros sem discrimina����o racial, mas que, ao mesmo tempo, divide a popula����o entre negros (n��s, oprimidos, portanto aptos a receberem repara����es) e brancos (eles, privilegiados), gerando par��metros de inclus��o de cunho racial contra os quais a luta contra o racismo historicamente se op��s. Se por um lado, o movimento negro coloca em cena a discuss��o sobre o preconceito racial no Brasil, tema fundamental para mudar a situa����o socioecon��mica desfavor��vel da popula����o negra, por outro lado, o radicalismo de suas a����es afasta aqueles que n��o sejam totalmente favor��veis �� sua vis��o de luta contra o racismo e a exclus��o social. Os debates atuais op��em as lideran��as e os simpatizantes do movimento negro favor��veis a pol��ticas de inser����o social pautadas por par��metros raciais e aqueles que alertam para o perigo de leis raciais em um pa��s miscigenado, defendendo que as pol��ticas de inclus��o devem ser edificadas por par��metros socioecon��micos.

Os homens do Estado Novo

O presente estudo pretende observar as rela����es entre as imagens do homem existentes nas p��ginas da revista Cultura Pol��tica (1941-1945) e os projetos de educa����o que disputaram espa��o no debate p��blico a partir da d��cada de 1930. O peri��dico, editado por Almir de Andrade no ��mbito do Departamento de Imprensa e Propaganda, consistiu num dos mais importantes ve��culos oficiais de comunica����o ao longo do Estado Novo. Ao pesquisar o conceito de homem em Cultura Pol��tica, fica evidente a exig��ncia constante de um processo formador para este homem, ao final do qual um novo tipo humano emergir��. Este novo tipo humano �� apresentado, ent��o, como a base de uma nova sociedade e de um novo Estado. O protagonista destas reflex��es na revista �� o autor Paulo Augusto de Figueiredo, que tem seu pensamento e obra analisados em maior detalhe. O argumento central deste trabalho �� que a imagem de homem constru��da por Figueiredo e outros articulistas do peri��dico, bem como os artigos educacionais publicados na revista, apontam para o favorecimento do projeto cat��lico de educa����o para o pa��s, apenas um dentre outros que disputavam hegemonia sobre o processo de forma����o dos homens no per��odo

Enquadrando a esfera p��blica: a controv��rsia das cotas raciais na imprensa

As investiga����es em torno da atua����o pol��tica da imprensa costumam partir de duas posturas te��ricas opostas. De um lado, alguns analistas enfatizam a import��ncia da imprensa para a constitui����o de uma esfera p��blica nas democracias modernas. Desse prisma, ela seria encarregada de viabilizar o debate p��blico e submeter ao escrut��nio da sociedade as decis��es estatais. Do outro lado, uma perspectiva mais c��tica defende que a imprensa n��o pode ser tomada como um pilar da esfera p��blica. Suas rotinas e estruturas a tornariam uma inst��ncia de manipula����o ret��rica incompat��vel com o ideal moderno de um p��blico deliberativo. Contudo, para al��m dessas oposi����es �� importante notar que o ideal de uma delibera����o p��blica mediada pela imprensa tem funcionado historicamente como um discurso de legitima����o para a pr��pria imprensa. Partindo da premissa de que a ideia de esfera p��blica �� uma categoria pol��tica, esta pesquisa pretende entender de que modo alguns jornais se servem de uma dada concep����o de esfera p��blica para se autolegitimarem enquanto pilares do debate p��blico democr��tico. Atrav��s do estudo da maneira como a grande imprensa brasileira lidou com o tema das a����es afirmativas raciais no ensino superior, este trabalho mostra como determinados enquadramentos midi��ticos serviram para que a imprensa reivindicasse para si o status de esfera p��blica de debate do tema. A pesquisa se baseou numa an��lise de todos os textos sobre as a����es afirmativas raciais no ensino superior publicados entre 2001 e 2009 nos dois principais jornais brasileiros: O Globo e Folha de S. Paulo. No total, 1.831 textos de diferentes tipos (reportagens, artigos, colunas, editoriais, cartas de leitores etc.) foram compilados e analisados a partir de Programas Computacionais de Codifica����o Assistida de Dados Qualitativos (CAQDAS, na sigla angl��fona). A an��lise indica que ambos os jornais promoveram uma dramatiza����o p��blica da controv��rsia ao organizarem as discuss��es em torno das a����es afirmativas raciais de acordo com determinados modelos de esfera p��blica. Tal dramatiza����o n��o somente possibilitou que a imprensa influenciasse os destinos das a����es afirmativas raciais no pa��s, apresentando-as como medidas essencialmente pol��micas, mas tamb��m limitou a cobertura a estruturas narrativas padronizadas

Vertigens de uma psican��lise a c��u aberto: a cidade contribui����es do acompanhamento terap��utico �� cl��nica na reforma psiqui��trica

A pesquisa, interessada em precisar as ferramentas conceituais que possibilitam operar a cl��nica no campo da reforma psiqui��trica quando a cidade invade o setting do tratamento e vem colocar a cl��nica em quest��o tem como ponto de partida o percurso de uma experi��ncia desenvolvida nos ��ltimos dez anos junto �� Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, em parceria com servi��os de sa��de mental da rede p��blica, tendo a atividade do acompanhamento terap��utico como vetor. Cl��nica e cidade foram os fios condutores desta investiga����o, que recorre inicialmente a leituras diversas, da hist��ria, geografia, ci��ncias sociais, literatura, filosofia, para acompanhar desde a forma����o das cidades medievais at�� o advento das metr��poles contempor��neas. O nascimento do alienismo �� inscrito nesse contexto, no momento de instaura����o das sociedades democr��ticas modernas, cuja ambi����o pelo governo das lamas engendra o ideal isolacionista que o asilo psiqui��trico veio presentificar, de forma que a psiquiatria e suas cong��neres, nascidas na cidade, dela v��m se apartar, o que se coloca como paradoxo presente nos processos de reforma psiqui��trica contempor��neos que propugnam o retorno da loucura ao conv��vio nas cidades. Considerando que �� esses paradoxo que o acompanhamento terap��utico, ao abrir-se �� cidade, vem habita, a pesquisa busca identificar as ferramentas conceituais de que se serve o acompanhamento terap��utico em cada uma de suas vertentes em cada uma de suas vertentes te��ricas referendadas seja em Lacan, em, Winnicott ou Deleuze e Guattari e o modo como essas ferramentas possibilitam �� cl��nica a incorpora����o do espa��o p��blica, atrav��s de objetos e rela����es, tanto simb��licos como materiais, sem fazer uso de uma rela����o de dom��nio �� parte que implique em segrega����o com respeito �� sociedade comum. Conclui-se, da��, que, se a incid��ncia da cidade na pr��tica do acompanhamento terap��utico configura o tra��o que singulariza essa pr��tica como um dos modos de fazer cl��nica, ela ��, ao mesmo tempo, o que leva ao seu limite paradoxal o modo como a cl��nica se faz, cabendo disso extrais as consequ��ncias que interessam a uma cl��nica conforme a radicalidade do que prop��e a reforma psiqui��trica.

O Am��lgama: especula����es acerca da proposta colaborativa Atrocidades Maravilhosas

A presente disserta����o trata de propostas art��sticas destinadas ao espa��o p��blico e que se organizam enquanto trabalhos colaborativos. Pretendemos situar a a����o Atrocidades Maravilhosas (2000) enquanto proposta modificada e modulada conforme o interesse dos artistas participantes, bem como as condi����es ambientais as quais a a����o estava sujeita. Por essa via, a investiga����o problematiza contextos culturais dos anos 1990 e 2000, mais especificamente, ��s unidades discursivas que contribuem para refletirmos sobre as a����es coletivas. Pelas considera����es de autores como Clair Bishop, MiwonKwon, Andr�� Mesquita e Steward Home, pretende-se pensar o espa��o art��stico contempor��neo ante �� mercantiliza����o da cultura vigente. Nesse ��nterim, ser�� questionada a identifica����o e a identidade entre atores sociais, bem como a rela����o entre os artistas e os espa��os culturais os quais se destinam algumas propostas art��sticas. Essa investiga����o adentra o territ��rio brasileiro do in��cio do anos 2000 e, aponta por esse contexto, as afinidades de alguns coletivos com propostas art��sticas em outras partes do mundo. Essa pesquisa trata ainda de assuntos tangente ��s negocia����es e conflitos inerentes aos projetos colaborativos a partir deles pretendemos repensar o espa��o comunicacional ativado por esses grupos, buscando na descentraliza����o dos discursos, a pot��ncia dos dissensos. Pretendemos, com esse panorama iluminar nas a����es de participa����o efetiva, n��o as novas respostas ao projeto de democratiza����o ou inclus��o de culturas perif��ricas, mas novas perguntas sobre o antigo problema acerca da coloniza����o cultural da arte

Instant��neos disruptivos: uma experi��ncia de cr��tica sociopol��tica com arte

A partir do final da d��cada de 1960, no mundo e no Brasil, o fen��meno de cr��tica sociopol��tica com arte tem se desenvolvido expressivamente e apresentado um consider��vel conjunto em termos de quantidade, mas tamb��m de qualidade de produ����es. De meados da d��cada de 1990 at�� a presente data, esse fen��meno se apresenta de maneira mais acelerada, e em torno de coletiviza����es art��sticas. Tais coletiviza����es caracterizam-se por desenvolver ainda mais as aproxima����es entre a arte, o sociopol��tico e o cultural, e tamb��m por revelar lugares outros para o desenvolvimento de express��es art��sticas e de formas variadas de atua����o art��stica no e sobre o espa��o p��blico no sentido de subvers��o e de cr��tica sobre os sistemas sociais. A presente disserta����o observa o desenvolvimento do fen��meno em suas diferentes nuances ao longo do tempo, bem como faz uma an��lise apreciativa e investigativa sobre algumas obras individuais e de coletivos. Visa apontar e percorrer as diferentes produ����es art��sticas presente e passado aqui elencadas, dado que incorporam uma visada de cr��tica sociopol��tica com arte, o que nos possibilita observar a pot��ncia da arte para tratar quest��es que emergem dos ambientes sociopol��tico e cultural; sua reincid��ncia, variedade, conex��es e diferen��as
