ABSTRACT. Social innovation is gaining attention for its potential for system transformations. It is often initiated by grassroots collectives, which can become successful through support from other actors and through certain game-changing events or developments. We highlight how transformative social innovation is a highly dispersed, coproduced process of changing social relations. This coproduction is unfolded through a case of interacting interventions in the socio-spatial structure of the city of Rio de Janeiro. Frequently referred to as a "broken city," the city suffers from various social challenges related to the socio-spatial cleavages between the welldeveloped and the marginalized areas, the favelas. Following a nested-case approach, we describe two policy measures and three social innovation initiatives intended to reconnect the broken city. We analyze their effects as well as their various interactions. The findings give reasons for considering the policy measures as "game-changers" that allow new courses of play. Still, the key observation about these intertwined socio-spatial interventions is that the broken city is undergoing more dispersed game-changing. Further observing how the reconnections constitute different kinds of changing mobility, we conclude with reflections on mobility-related game-changing.

This article explores the reality of entrepreneurship in the favela of Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro. It contrasts the prescriptions of federal and state training programs and support policies for entrepreneurship with the reality of the practice of entrepreneurial activities in Rocinha. It shows that the logic of effectuation can explain microentrepreneurial trajectories in favelas, expanding its original reach from expert entrepreneurs in large firms. It also exposes the severe shortcomings in the training programs and support policies of the Serviço Brasileiro de Apoio às Micro e Pequenas Empresas (SEBRAE). It points to the urgency of reform of the very foundation of entrepreneurship policies in favelas.O artigo explora a realidade do empreendedorismo na favela da Rocinha, Rio de Janeiro.

A partir de uma tematização crítica do que seja, ou possa ser, o "crime organizado", este ensaio contextualiza e desenvolve a trajetória profissional de um(a) hipotético(a) jovem policial, compartilhando uma visão de base etnográfica sobre as "frágeis fronteiras" entre conveniência, convivência e conivência diante de atividades ilícitas. Segue a pista de uma expressão cotidiana dos policiais fluminenses: "a polícia tem vários patrões", que serve para criticar, contemporizar, explicar ou justificar o que compreendem como o "comprometimento" ou o "envolvimento" de policiais com os mais diversos interesses, incluindo os que se associam ao chamado "crime organizado". Compartilha elementos de um diagnóstico da clientelização policial que contextualizam e conformam as condições de possibilidade do uso do mandato policial para fins particulares e suas implicações.
The presente essay departs from a critical appraisal of what is, or would be, the "organized crime" to develop and contextualize the professional trajectory of a hypothetical young police officer, showing an ethnographic perception of the "frail frontiers" that separate police convenience, coexistence and connivance with illicit activities. It follows the lead provided by a common saying of Rio de Janeiro police officers - "the police have many bosses" - in order to criticize, palliate, explain or justify their "connection" or "involvement" with a wide variety of interests, including some that are associated with the so-called "organized crime". It also mentions the elements of a diagnosis of police "clientelization", which contextualize and shape the conditions of the possibility of using the police mandate for private purposes and its implications
