Abstract:
Denne artikel tager afsæt i den aktuelle sociologiske og offentlige diskussion om offentlige byrum og præsenterer nyere og i dansk sammenhæng stort set ukendte bidrag fra den strømning i fransk sociologi, der betegnes som ”den pragmatiske vending”. Artiklen har to hovedpointer. For det første at den pragmatiske bysociologi kan bidrage til denne diskussion ved at beskrive og fremhæve betydningen af de oftest upåagtede og dagligdags kompetencer, ved hjælp af hvilke byboere skaber sociale overenskomster og fredelig sameksistens på offentlige steder i socialt og kulturelt differentierede byer. For det andet at bysociologien ifølge de pragmatiske sociologer ikke kan standse ved analyser af segregation, ghettodannelser og lokale fællesskabers tilegnelser af territorier. ”At tænke byen” indebærer at bevæge sig videre til også at undersøge de byrumsmæssige design og trafikale forbindelser og passageveje, der skaber sammenhængen i det urbane væv og tillader byboeren at overvinde fremmedheden på et ikke fortroligt territorium. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Martin Severin Frandsen: Rediscovering Urban Culture and Public Space: On Isaac Joseph and the Pragmatic Turn in French Urban Sociology This article analyses current sociological and public discussions concerning public urban spaces, and introduces new (and in a Danish context largely unknown) contributions from the movement in French sociology that has been labelled ”the pragmatic turn”. The article makes two main arguments. Firstly, the pragmatic urban sociology can contribute to these discussions by highlighting the importance of the often unnoticed and everyday civilities through which city-dwellers create social agreements and peaceful co-existence in public places in socially and culturally heterogeneous cities. Secondly, urban sociology cannot, according to the pragmatic sociologists, stop with inquiries into segregation, ghettos and local populations appropriations of territories. Imagining the city implies moving on to explore the designs of public spaces and public transit systems that create continuity and mobility in urban agglomerations and allow city-dwellers to overcome the strangeness of unfamiliar territories.

Abstract:
Новая волна интереса к вопросам социологии, охватившая современное сообщество урбанистов и архитекторов, имела своих провозвестников. Среди них Леонид Борисович Коган - урбанист, социолог, педагог, ученики и воспитанники которого разбросаны по России и миру. Статья продолжает тему социологии архитектуры, начатую авторами в предыдущем выпуске «Современной архитектуры мира», где была рассмотрена общность взглядов М. Кастельса и Л.В. Глазычева на организацию новых структур жизнедеятельности общества и повышение активности местных сообществ в ответ на падение социальной значимости мест. Среди авторов работ, в которых архитектура и вопросы политического и социально-экономического развития связаны воедино, имена трех упомянутых исследователей объединяет, прежде всего, неравнодушие к судьбам простых горожан. Так, острое чувство гражданской ответственности, тревога за последствия неконтролируемых процессов глобализации вывели их за рамки узкопрофессиональной деятельности архитектора, сделали урбанистами, социологами, политиками, поставили у истоков формирования нового отношения к городу и горожанину. The interest in sociology of the contemporary urbanists and architects, that has come like a new wave, had its heralds. One of them is Leonid Kogan - an urbanist, sociologist and a teacher whose students are scattered around the world. The article continues the topic, that was started at the author’s previous digest “The Contemporary World’s Architecture” comprised the consideration of common views of M. Castells and V. Glazychev to the new structures’ organization of the societal life activity and an increase in the activity of local communities in response to the fall in social significance of places. The works of the three mentioned authors are united, first of all, by the caring of the ordinary citizens’ lives. Their keen civil responsibility and anxiety on the uncontrolled globalization led them out of professional architecture field and made them urbanists, sociologists and politicians, set them at the origins of the new attitude to the city and citizens.

Abstract:
Urban sociology is an essential. Control of Sociology, it is a branch of Sociology. In urban Sociology, as rule humanism, we contemplate social connection however to a restricted degree and in a shorter setting. The sort of social connection contemplated in Urban Sociology, as is clear from the name, are the relations which happen in an Urban Society. In this way urban sociology is an investigation of urban culture. The urban culture is contemplated and explored by systems and methods, which are of course experimental. The investigation of urban culture can be general and also particular. The paper reads out the contextual contemporary urban sociology and evaluates the appropriateness of the adopted and followed practices in a social set-up.

Abstract:
Isaac Joseph foi professor de Sociologia na Universidade de Paris X – Nanterre. Especialista da escola interacionista simbólica, reintroduziu na França a Escola de Sociologia Urbana de Chicago e se destacou como tradutor de Goffmann, Gumperz, Hannerz. Foi autor de uma obra sobre a microssociologia de Erving Goffmann publicada no Brasil em 1998 pela FGV Editora. É também conhecido por seus trabalhos aplicados de sociologia urbana, publicados na revista Les Annales de la Recherche Urbaine. Desenvolveu importante diálogo com pesquisadores brasileiros da UFF, USP e UFRJ, entre outros temas, sobre escalas do pluralismo e formas de engajamento cívico nos espaços públicos urbanos. Isaac Joseph faleceu em 2 de fevereiro de 2004. Nas palavras de seu colaborador Y. Grafmeyer, Joseph questionou a ilusão que faz crer que a ordem dos fatos só é perceptível se sairmos de seu detalhe essencialmente irregular, para elevarmo-nos a uma altura suficiente para obter visão panorâmica dos grandes conjuntos. Tinha, porém, a convicção intelectual e militante de que esta atenção minuciosa às civilidades correntes é também portadora de importantes desafios políticos. O presente texto revê o modo como Joseph pensa as interações situadas no espaço da loucura, do passante, da agência e da conceituação. Palavra-chave: Isaac Joseph; interacionismo; microssociologia urbana. Abstract: Isaac Joseph was professor of Sociology at the University of Paris X – Nanterre.

Isaac Joseph died on February 2004. In the words of his friend Y. Grafmeyer, Joseph questioned the illusion that makes think that the order of facts is only perceptible if we leave its essentially irregular details to reach sufficient height to get a panoramic view of the big wholes. He had, although the militant and intellectual conviction that this detailed attention spent to ordinary civilities is also rich in important political challenges. This article discusses the way Isaac Joseph treats the interactions situated in the spaces of madness, passing, agency and conceptualizing. Keywords: Isaac Joseph; interactionism; urban microsociology.

Abstract:
Ole B. Jensen: The city: power and network. A new urban sociology’s reading of the representational logic of urban interventions This article presents an analytical framework for revitalising the field of urban sociology. It draws on two forms of discussion within sociology. On the one hand, there is the contemporary discussion among sociologists such as Sassen and Castells. On the other hand, the framework involves an understanding of social practices as spatial and material, as well as being embedded in cultural and normative contexts of meaning. Thus by applying a general frame for understanding social action as both spatial and symbolic practices, the article suggests that we can gain a better understanding of how particular interventions in urban space are embedded in a network of representations, institutions and agents, as well as how they reflect a particular power and rationality configuration. The analytical framework is tentatively applied on the empirical case of the urban harbour front development in Aalborg, Denmark.

Abstract:
This paper presents the impact of Henri Lefebvre?s thought in contemporary urban sociology. In the first chapter, the reader can find brief descriptions of two most relevant Lefebvre?s concepts linked to his comprehension of space: production of space, the right to the city and a couple of firmly related concepts. The second chapter presents several examples of their recent interpretations by the authors from different theoretical backgrounds. Simultaneously, it evaluates the relevance of Lefebvre?s theoretical assumptions in contemporary social context, as well as their theoretical and methodological relevance for further research and development of urban sociology. Conclusion emphasizes that Lefebvre?s ideas have a deep and long term influence in urban sociology.

Abstract:
David Harvey is a neo-Marxist theorist influential in many disciplines. This paper analyses his specific use of Marx?s theory as a contribution to urban sociology. Observing cities in the context of a constant need of capitalism to overcome the problem of over-accumulation of capital, urbanization is seen as an important factor of capitalist development. Methods of temporary relocation and resolutions of capitalist contradictions, with the help of so-called accumulation by dispossession, are intensified in neo-liberalism, which is seen as a project for the restoration of class power. Therefore, Harvey demands more equitable cities in which the interest of private capital will not be the main factor of their shaping. Harvey?s Marxism is alluring, but it is also the subject of numerous criticisms.

Colocando em diálogo as pesquisas empíricas de Maria Isaura Pereira de Queiroz, Maria Sylvia de Carvalho Franco e Florestan Fernandes, realizadas nas décadas de 1950 e 1960 na Universidade de São Paulo, discutimos como esses três sociólogos trataram, mesmo que às vezes indiretamente, a questão da participação social, com o intuito de divisar o seu potencial teórico. Analisando as modalidades de participação do “homem comum” nas instâncias da vida política – nos processos eleitorais, nas relações com a burocracia do Estado, nos movimentos sociais, etc. –, Queiroz, Franco e Fernandes, de diferentes maneiras, situaram suas possibilidades e limites de acordo com as especificidades do processo mais geral de passagem do rural ao urbano no Brasil.

In these researches, conducted in the 1950s and 1960s at the University of São Paulo, the authors, in different and sometimes indirect ways, studied the modalities of participation of “ordinary people” in political life, like electoral processes, relations with state bureaucracy, social movements and so forth. Also, they theorized social participation in the wider and specific context of rural-urban transition in Brazilian society, what conditioned its possibilities and limits. The historical perspective of these three authors, showing the long duration effects of agrarian roots in shaping the urban world, can bring a better understanding of participation dilemmas in contemporary Brazil.Key words: Brazilian social thought; political sociology; Maria Isaura Pereira de Queiroz; Maria Sylvia de Carvalho Franco; Florestan FernandesLES PASSAGES DU RURAL À L’URBAIN ET LA PARTICIPATION SOCIALE: la sociologie politique brésilienne des années 60Cet article traite de la question de la participation sociale dans les recherches empiriques de trois sociologues, Maria Isaura Pereira de Queiroz, Maria Sylvia de Carvalho Franco et Florestan Fernandes, afin de détecter son potentiel théorique.

Abstract:
Forty years ago, Manuel Castells asked whether urban sociology had a subject matter and whether the term urban still had meaning—and this article reopens these and related questions. It also wonders why today's American urban sociology has concentrated on cities, especially big ones, concurrently virtually ignoring the three other types of communities—suburbs, towns, and rural areas—in which a majority of Americans live and work. Further, it argues that this four–community typology is logically dubious and empirically obsolete. If the field were redefined as a sociology of settlements, analytically more logical and substantively more relevant typologies could be developed. Another politically and organizationally more realistic alternative would split the field into four: a sociology of the city and one concentrating on other settlements, with a third field devoted to community studies, and the fourth to spatial sociology.

Abstract:
Our article takes issue with the treatment of organizations in much urban sociology. We argue that both Marxian political economists and Chicagoan ethnographers and quantitative analysts treat organizations as derivative rather than productive of urban social relations. This problem is not epistemological or methodological. Instead, it is rooted in the objects of analysis that urban sociologists choose. Drawing on key elements of structuration theory, we attempt to lay the groundwork for improving the treatment of organizations in urban sociology by flagging some of the key insights in the sociology of organizations. We do not view this intellectual borrowing as a one–way street, and we emphasize that urbanists have a contribution to make to sociological thinking about organizations. Correcting these problems is essential if we are to understand the link between contemporary institutional transformations and urban neighborhoods.

Abstract:
This article is about the future of sociology, as transformations in the digital and biological sciences lay claim to the discipline’s jurisdictional hold over ‘the social’. Rather than analyse the specifics of these transformations, however, the focus of the article is on how a narrative of methodological crisis is sustained in sociology, and on how such a narrative conjures very particular disciplinary futures. Through a close reading of key texts, the article makes two claims: (1) that a surprisingly conventional urge towards disciplinary reproduction often animates accounts of sociology’s crisis; (2) that, even more surprisingly, these same accounts are often haunted by a hidden metaphorical architecture centred on biology, vitality, vigour and life. The central gambit of the article is that, perhaps in spite of itself, this subterranean image of life actually hints at less reproductively conventional ways of understanding – and intervening in – sociology’s methodological ‘crisis’. Drawing, empirically, on the author’s recent work on urban stress and, theoretically, on Stefan Helmreich’s (2011, 2016) account of ‘limit biologies’, the articles ends with a call for a ‘limit sociology’ – a form of attention that could, similarly, expand rather than contract the present moment of transformation. At the heart of the article is a hope that thinking with such a limit may help sociologists to imagine a less deadening future than that on offer from a canonised discipline cathected by endless crisis-talk.

Abstract:
This paper examines the role of social research and communication methodologies in fostering substantive democratic participation and policy co-production within the context of urban regeneration initiatives anchored in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This research critically analyzes the “becoming public” of sociology and social research in participatory design processes related to traditional urban planning instruments at the local scale (Regulatory Plans) in the Italian context, specifically through the case study of the Municipality of Appignano. It questions the role of sociology in activating a competent public sphere and promoting deliberative democracy at urban and territorial design levels and whether we can identify the traits of public sociology in facilitating the different stages of these processes. This paper details a participatory process in Appignano that sought to innovate urban regeneration within complex legislative frameworks, emphasizing community engagement and interdisciplinary approaches. The findings reveal a community actively participating in the regeneration process, demonstrating a high level of agreement on various urban development strategies aimed at sustainability. This study underscores the capacity of public sociology to facilitate public debate and democratic dialogue and suggests that such participatory approaches can significantly contribute to sustainable and resilient urban development, highlighting the potential of sociology as a moral and political force in urban planning.
