Gestión del cuerpo y planificación urbana: Desplazamiento de significado en la reivención de cuepos y ciudades
2020
Contemporary cities have administrations increasingly marked by urban planning guidelines that are guided by business and marketing and, to attract investments and tourists, implement strategies that aim to homogenize, spectacularize and control urban space. However, other experiences in the city potentially build new meaning to it, which would escape those strategically planned, creating alternative possibilities of uses, diverging from the way thar are predicted and proposed by the governmental power in their urban marketing strategies. The article discusses how the occupation of urban spaces by transvestites for prostitution may imply reflections on the role of norms of gender in the (re…
Semiótica da cidade: corpos, espaços, tecnologias
2015
Resumo:A cidade é feita de espaços, corpos, tecnologias. A semiótica tem estudado há tempos todos estes três fenômenos de significação. Todavia, o estudo semiótico do espaço urbano quase nunca foi articulado pela semiótica dos objetos técnicos, nem pela do corpo. Entrelaçar estes três âmbitos, como este artigo busca fazer, aparece, portanto, como um gesto teórico tão urgente quanto necessário. Nestas páginas analisa-se um velho desenho animado de Walt Disney em que o personagem de Pateta muda radicalmente os próprios programas de ação e paixão, condicionado por estar no espaço urbano, como pedestre ou automobilista. Um ator, dois actantes, e consequentemente, dois espaços de significação di…
Urban Space and Gender Performativity in Knut Hamsun’s Hunger and Cora Sandel’s Alberta and Freedom
2018
In this article, I discuss the combination of city life and gender performativity in two Norwegian classics, Knut Hamsun’s Hunger (2016) [Sult, 1890] and Cora Sandel’s Alberta and Freedom (1984) [Alberte og friheten, 1931]. These are modernist novels depicting lonely human subjects in an urban space, the first one featuring a man in Kristiania (now Oslo) in the 1880s, the second one a woman and her female acquaintances in Paris in the 1920s. I interpret and compare the two novels by focusing on their intertwined construction of gender performativity and urban space. Gender norms of the city life are critical premises for how the subjects manage to negotiate with different options and obstac…
heritage and culture as instruments of qualification of urban spaces : the case of the Musée Urbain Tony Garnier
2014
International audience; In this essay we will bring up the question of designing atypical objects, in this case, social housing, as cultural heritage. The continuing process of development of western cities raises new questions concerning division of living-areas produces districts of mixed populations, together with phenomena of social differentiation. Heritage and culture are henceforward tools for distinguishing social spaces and the groups of the associations movement unceasingly produces new heritage-artefacts, sometimes in contradiction with the administrative services of universe of heritage, and the concept of public good is in a certain way made use of in growing phenomena of urban…
CHANGES IN THE CITY SPACE AGAINST THE BACKGROUND OF THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT: THE CASE OF OPOLE
2021
Koncepcja zrównoważonego rozwoju zyskuje coraz większą popularność zarówno w nauce, jak i w praktyce. Jest ona podstawą do realizacji działań i inicjatyw mających na celu poprawę warunków życia ludności miejskiej przy jednoczesnym poszanowaniu środowiska naturalnego. Decyzje podejmowane przez zarządzających miastami dotyczące nowych projektów powinny uwzględniać efekty ekonomiczne i środowiskowe oraz głos społeczności lokalnej. Jest to zadanie niezwykle trudne, a jego wyniki mogą spotkać się z aprobatą lub krytyką. Niemniej jednak podejmowane działania powinny zmniejszać problemy, z jakimi boryka się miasto i jego mieszkańcy. Badania oparte zostały na opisowym studium przypadku jako metodol…
Rimettere in valore gli spazi pubblici del territorio agrigentino
2015
The contemporary city poses a question about regeneration which increasingly finds its answer within the open spaces, where values and potential are recognized not only in ecological and environmental terms but also in terms of agricultural production. However these areas may have consequences on global sustainability and local urban-welfare, provoking identification processes with the places and regenerating the local identities as the only guarantee of survival in a harmonic territory. The research hypothesis is that the coastal areas and peri-urban spaces could contribute substantially to society and sustainable urban development as well as having an impact on social, physical, environme…
L'accès des ménages aux services dans l'espace périurbain francilien
2008
The access of populations to services, out of the dense urban centres, is marked by the retreat of the services of proximity to which populations and local councillors appear particularly attached. However, in peri-urban spaces, this remote setting of the resources compared to the populations is the result of the generalized adoption of the automobile standard for mobility and accessibility. That has two effects: first a disintegration of the local offer, then a disintegration of the modal alternatives to the private car, because of relocalizations of services and populations which privilege car for their accessibility and call into question their access by other modes like public transport…
Sabratha. La catacomba e le aree funerarie cristiane
2016
This paper starts from the processing of the data, both edited and acquired in 2010 by a series of dedicated surveys in Sabratha made by researchers at the University of Palermo, in collaboration whit the cnr itabc for the prin 2008 Project, carried out under the responsibility of Prof. Rosa Maria Carra Bonacasa.

We present the results of the study on the Early Christian funerary a…
Mitologie dello street food (a partire da alcune pietanze siciliane).
2021
The article investigates the gastronomic universe of street food through two steps. The first is theoretical and highlights what are the founding semantic categories of street food with respect to other culinary worlds (home cooking, fast food, etc.) and, through this specifically relational point of view, also explains the transformations and inversions between systems of values that are in principle opposite. The idea is to conceive of street food not as some entity given from the outset but, on the contrary, as an effect od meaning of the social, media, gastronomic discourses that are made of it. The second passage is more empirical and is dedicated to Palermo's street food: chosen as a …
The Influence of the Cross-Border Infrastructure Corridor on the Development of Medium-Sized Upper Silesian Cities on the Example of Bohumm and Jastr…
2018
The southern part of the A1 motorway (D1 in Czech designation) is a functioning infrastructure corridor connecting the Czech and Polish parts of the Upper Silesian Agglomeration, which is significant for the development of medium-sized cities in this region. This article is a continuation of research that was conducted in 2013. A research on Czech Bohumin and Polish Jastrzębie Zdrój was repeated with regard to the developmental aspects of these two medium-sized cities in the context of the functioning A1 motorway. The changes that have taken place in recent years in the spatial structure of the mentioned cities have been analysed. Research and analyses were conducted using ArcGIS software o…
