My having managed to cope with this process, and having finally finished it, is partly due to the support and help of so many lovely people. First of all, I would like to thank the inhabitants of the squats Chiquinha Gonzaga and Manoel Congo, for making this research possible and being willing to trust me, and for opening up their homes and private lives to me. I am so grateful for this unique experience, and for having been able to meet so many wonderful people in the squats, who taught me many lessons about life and deeply impressed me with their warmth, strength, and courage. Some of them even became friends, and included me naturally into their daily lives, which made me feel very comfortable and safe. I really miss our daily conversations! I would also like to thank all the other housing activists for taking the time to talk and answer my numerous questions so patiently. Moreover, I thank Mauro Villas Bôas, Lia Villas Bôas, and Glaucia Vandea Lima Kessler for making me feel welcome and at home in Brazil. I thank Helena Galiza for our discussions and for giving me insights into Rio’s housing situation; Fernando Mamari and FASE for putting me in contact with the squats; and of course Paulo César for picking me up late at night in his taxi, at times and places no one else was willing to. In Germany, I would like to thank my supervisor Barbara Potthast for her valuable advice and comments and her steady support, as well as for the confidence she has placed in me over the years. Thanks to Olaf Kaltmeier, who made very useful and helpful suggestions and has been encouraging since the beginning; and Michael Zeuske for his assistance and participation in the process. The dissertation emerged in the context of the research project Research Network for Latin America―Ethnicity Citizenship and Belonging (KLA), funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). I thank all 10 │SQUATTING IN RIO DE JANEIRO colleagues of the KLA and the Department of Iberian and Latin American History at the University of Cologne (IHILA) for supporting me academically and practically during the doctorate. Working with you has been such an enriching and enjoyable experience. I was also lucky to share the process of writing a dissertation with other PhD students and Postdocs. This made such a difference to me, as I was able to talk about feelings and experiences that naturally emerged during the research process with people who were going through something similar. I would thus like to thank especially my PhD colleagues in Marienburg—Anne-Christina Achterberg-Boness, Johanna Below da Cunha, Thekla Kelbert, Christiane Naumann, and Diego Augusto Menestrey Schwieger, for their emotional and academic support; and Tobias Schwarz for always being so patient with my questions and for reading and commenting on my thesis. Thanks also Johanna Steindorf for her help with the transcription of my interviews; Monika Feinen for creating the map of Rio de Janeiro; and Dawn Nell and Pax Amphlett for the proofreading of my thesis. I was also lucky to spend three month writing in Chicago at Northwestern University, where I met many lovely people, making it an unforgettable stay for me. Thanks especially to Regina Grafe for making it all possible; Mariana Barreto Ávila and Alvaro Villagran for reading and commenting on my thesis; and Miguel Angel Avila and Qian for their company and for making me feel at home.

  • Informal Urbanism: the Slow Evolution of a New Form
    Informal Urbanism: The Slow Evolution of a New Form THE INFORMAL CITY One billion people live in slums worldwide.1 This accounts for a staggering one in six people globally, and the num- ber is climbing rapidly. The UN estimates that by 2030 it will be one in four people and by 2050 it will be one in three, for a total of three billion people.2 The vast major- ity of slum dwellers reported in the UN document are those living in the informal settlements of the developing world. Informal settlements vary in their characteristics, but what they have Dan Clark in common is a lack of adequate housing and even basic services such as University of Minnesota roads, clean water, and sanitation. In addition, residents often have no legal claim to the land they have built upon. Consequently, these neighborhoods develop outside the political and legal structure that defines the formal city. Existence outside these abstract organizational structures has a pro- found impact upon the spatial reality of these settlements. New construc- tion happens where and when it is needed, unconstrained by the principles of planning that regulate construction and guarantee integration of ser- vices elsewhere. In fact, the process at work in most informal settlements is a nearly perfect reversal of that at work in the formal city: buildings come first, and roads, utilities, and government follow later. How does this affect its form in comparison to the rest of the city? The building stock is normally shorter and less structurally robust. Its arrange- ment is often organic and more closely follows the terrain.

  • Chiquinha Gonzaga E O “Forrobodó”: O Choro Da Cidade Nova Eternizou-Se Na História
    18º Congresso Brasileiro de Sociologia 26 a 29 de julho de 2017 Chiquinha Gonzaga e o “Forrobodó”: o choro da Cidade Nova eternizou-se na história por Maristela Rocha Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Sociais Universidade Federal de Juiz de Fora Abertura Este trabalho versa sobre a contribuição da compositora, pianista e maestrina carioca Chiquinha Gonzaga (1847/1935) para o teatro musicado no Brasil. O distanci- amento necessário a qualquer pesquisador, neste caso com o fito de contribuir com mais uma abordagem sobre a compositora, aponta desafios constantes, afinal traba- lhamos há mais de duas décadas com a divulgação da vida e obra da musicista. Nosso objetivo primordial é investigar, inclusive como diferencial perante as obras já publica- das sobre a compositora, se, realmente, sua contribuição para o teatro musicado no Brasil pode ser enaltecida no âmbito da qualidade das mesmas naquele tempo-es- paço, ou se a repercussão conquistada foi motivada pela questão de gênero. No que se refere ao enfoque sociológico, essas peças revelam humor paró- dico, repleto de críticas à política e à sociedade dos séculos XIX e XX. Ademais, as peças regionalistas espelham microcosmos de comunidades, cabíveis de investiga- ção e análise. Para este trabalho, no ano em que rememoramos 170 anos de nasci- mento da compositora, escolhemos para análise a burleta “Forrobodó” (1912), com libreto de Luiz Peixoto e Carlos Bettencourt, uma das obras mais conhecidas de Fran- cisca Gonzaga para o teatro musicado. Instiga-nos, pois, tratar da condição feminina da compositora, personagem com postura pertinente à condição de outsider (ELIAS, Norbert & SCOTSON, John L., 1995, 2000; BECKER, 2008) em um campo dominado pelo universo masculino e que, extrapolando os cânones em voga, utilizou do teatro musicado para apresentar a rea- lidade da sociedade carioca – e muito do Brasil - daquele tempo.

  • Regularización De Asentamientos Informales En América Latina
    Informe sobre Enfoque en Políticas de Suelo • Lincoln Institute of Land Policy Regularización de asentamientos informales en América Latina E d é s i o F E r n a n d E s Regularización de asentamientos informales en América Latina Edésio Fernandes Serie de Informes sobre Enfoque en Políticas de Suelo El Lincoln Institute of Land Policy publica su serie de informes “Policy Focus Report” (Enfoque en Políticas de Suelo) con el objetivo de abordar aquellos temas candentes de política pública que están en relación con el uso del suelo, los mercados del suelo y la tributación sobre la propiedad. Cada uno de estos informes está diseñado con la intención de conectar la teoría con la práctica, combinando resultados de investigación, estudios de casos y contribuciones de académicos de diversas disciplinas, así como profesionales, funcionarios de gobierno locales y ciudadanos de diversas comunidades. Sobre este informe Este informe se propone examinar la preponderancia de asentamientos informales en América Latina y analizar los dos paradigmas fundamentales entre los programas de regularización que se han venido aplicando —con resultados diversos— para mejorar las condiciones de estos asentamientos. El primero, ejemplificado por Perú, se basa en la legalización estricta de la tenencia por medio de la titulación. El segundo, que posee un enfoque mucho más amplio de regularización, es el adoptado por Brasil, el cual combina la titulación legal con la mejora de los servicios públicos, la creación de empleo y las estructuras para el apoyo comunitario. En la elaboración de este informe, el autor adopta un enfoque sociolegal para realizar este análisis en el que se pone de manifiesto que, si bien las prácticas locales varían enormemente, la mayoría de los asentamientos informales en América Latina transgrede el orden legal vigente referido al suelo en cuanto a uso, planeación, registro, edificación y tributación y, por lo tanto, plantea problemas fundamentales de legalidad.

  • La Problemática De Los Asentamientos Informales En La Producción Del Espacio Urbano: El Caso De Banda Del Rio Salí, Área Conurbada Del Gran San Miguel De Tucumán
    La problemática de los asentamientos informales en la producción del espacio urbano: el caso de Banda del Rio Salí, área conurbada del Gran San Miguel de Tucumán. (Tucumán- Argentina) Resumen. La informalidad urbana, es una problemática presente en Latinoamérica que se manifiesta de muy diversas maneras. La misma, es resultado de numerosos factores que difieren en cada ciudad y área metropolitana. Entre los mismos, podemos mencionar el empobrecimiento de la población, las lógicas de mercado y la acción del Estado frente a este sector. Los principales tipos de informalidad urbana en América Latina son los siguientes: a) Desde el punto de vista dominial: Ocupación directa de tierra pública o privada: asentamiento, toma; ocupación de lote individual. Dentro de este tipo de informalidad, se constituyen mercados informales. b) Desde el punto de vista de la urbanización: se ocupan tierras sin condiciones urbano ambientales para ser usadas como residenciales: inundables; contaminadas; sin infraestructura; con dificultosa accesibilidad al transporte público, centros de empleo, educación primaria, servicios primarios de salud; densidades extremas (tanto altas, que significan gran hacinamiento de personas y hogares). Este punto expuesto, se asocia directamente con la marginalidad. Argentina a lo largo de la historia manifestó la predominancia de estos asentamientos informales; en un primer momento, con políticas de erradicaciones compulsivas; luego, a partir de la década de 1980 estos asentamientos adquirieron fuerza debido al reconocimiento de derechos de los habitantes sobre el sitio ocupado. En general, en la mayoría de las ciudades del país se detecta este fenómeno de asentamientos informales – sobre todo en las áreas conurbadas – que concentran el mayor déficit habitacional.

Housing in “intramural favelas” 1 Housing in “intramural favelas” Considerations on new forms of urban expansion in contemporary times Cláudia Seldin e Juliana Canedo 1. Introduction: about housing in Brazilian favelas 1 The theme of housing, within the field of Urban Studies in Brazil, was studied for most of the 20th century in a limited or fragmented way due to the strong inheritance of the local modernist movement, in which the “act of dwelling” was seen predominantly as a function; as a simple architectural element that composed a city. For a long time, the value of formal housing that originated from plans and architectural projects was more highly regarded in the field, while informal, do-it-yourself constructions in lower-income regions, especially in the favelas1 and peripheral neighbourhoods, were often considered a problem and a disruption to the landscape by local authorities and many planning professionals. According to Silva (2001), the discussion around the importance of the favelas’ permanence emerged parallel to the official policies focusing on removing and repressing them.

Virtually silent, the book “speaks in a low voice to a single person.” Theatre, though, addresses “the thousand or 1,500 people assembled and has its roots in the tribune and the public arena” (Dumas, fils cited in Charle, 2012: 215). The size of this estimate tells us much about the popular reach of this art form on the stages of the major European cities of the nineteenth century – Paris, London, Vienna and Berlin. As the historian Chris- tophe Charle demonstrates in Théâtres en capitales. Naissance de la société du 519, agosto, 2017 agosto, 519, – spectacle à Paris, Berlin, Londres et Vienne, the successful plays of the period spread new social representations far beyond those classes with ready access to lit- erature. Novels with print runs of around 100,000 copies only appeared towards the end of the nineteenth century. But plays performed more than a hundred times to large audiences had been frequent since the 1850s. The growing inter- est in the theatre was manifested on all sides: from the increasingly diversified public to the writers striving to make a name and some money as playwrights, accompanied by the swelling influx of would-be actors and directors.
