“…La colectivización y la colaboración han sido explicadas como fenómenos urbanos (Albuquerque y Días, 2019;Blok y Meilvang, 2014;Hambleton, 2015;HØy-Petersen et al, 2016), por lo que la descripción de los espacios de alojamiento rural podría legitimar otros espacios que no son espacios públicos urbanos como soporte de colectivización y colaboración (Domblás, 2015;Reca, 2004;Rahmatabadi, 2011;Soltani, 2018). Tal constatación es una cuestión de interés contemporáneo en el contexto sociopolítico brasileño, que necesita de un soporte espacial que ayude a la colectivización para acciones de colaboración y democracia directa (Bouchard y Wike, 2022;Pereira, 1977).…”

Collectivization and collaboration are categories essentially studied as a social dimension in urban contexts, despite the spatial dimension of rural realities. Given this reality of scientific studies, the research goal was to demonstrate collectivization for collaboration in rural lodging spaces from Sítio Hortêncio (Florianópolis, state of Santa Catarina, Brazil) as a research object. The research is a qualitative and descriptive study in view of space as a communicating empirical object. Bibliography and search in primary and secondary data sources, in loco spatial reading, and photographs of the spaces of the research object as support for spatial reading constituted the research procedures and instruments. First, collected data was approached by Semiotic of Peirce, followed by Benjamin Montage Theory. The semiotic and the montage theory presented themselves as unusual as methodological approaches for the Hospitality industry; the rural lodging space was an innovative attribute of approach for studies in the Hospitality area; rural lodging spaces revealed possibilities of political actions of collaborative, direct democracy for the empowerment of rural communities in Brazil. Collectivization and collaboration have been explained as urban phenomena. Therefore, the description of rural lodging spaces could legitimize other spaces that are not urban public spaces as support for collectivization and collaboration. The results gave meaning to rural lodging spaces, understood as communicators of collectivization for collaboration in the Brazilian rural territory.

The current study used an academic social space perspective (Soltani, 2015(Soltani, , 2018 to interpret the verbal non-participation of a Japanese student in a second language space.…”

This article draws on the concept of the Production of Space (Lefebvre, 1991) to interpret the silence of one female international student from Japan in two semesters of study in a New Zealand Tertiary institution. Data from an English for Academic Purposes course and mainstream courses, and from various sources including video/audio recordings of classroom interactions, interviews, diaries, field notes, institutional documents are presented. The findings show that silence is produced by the academic social space in three aspects of perceived, conceived, and lived. The new perceived space of learning positioned the focal student as unfamiliar in her new habitat. The conceived space also silenced the focal student because the conceived space exerted socio-academic norms in which the individual was not invested. Finally, the lived space produced a silent individual in the sense that she appeared as less powerful in her interactions with other peers because her sociocultural and linguistic capabilities were not on a par with those of other peers. The study concludes that space is an active, dynamic, and social being that regulates the individual's interactions and that silence should be understood in relation to one's positioning by the social space, and the appropriation of space by the individual in social space. Notably, despite being positioned as a silent individual by the academic social space, the international student exercised agency both

“…These recent changes in ideology and norms can offer Saudi women a greater access to new professional roles; the path to which is via the "promised" neoliberal education where English is the dominant language. However, they pose psychological and cultural challenges for Saudi women who need to find new ways to adjust to the new reality, rebuild their ideologies, and create their new professional identities within the process of L2 learning in order to fit within a new social space (see Soltani, 2018) without losing who they really are.…”

This study explores the complexity of language learner silence in the female Saudi Arabian university English as a foreign language (EFL) classroom. To this end, a combination of two methodologies was used. First, a total of 296 students from 12 EFL classrooms were observed using the COPS structured observation scheme (King, 2013a, b) to measure the extent of silence and to identify relevant patterns of learner reticence. Second, to gain deeper insights into the participants' attitudes and feelings about silence in the EFL classroom, we used two complementary qualitative methods: semistructured interviews and stimulated recall sessions. The results suggest the existence of three interrelated groups of factors associated learner silence in the study's research context -(i) factors related to prevailing EFL teaching styles in Saudi Arabia; (ii) sociopsychological factors; and (iii) underlying cultural factors associated with the value of silence and the role of women in Saudi society. The findings highlight the complexity of Saudi Arabian female students' silence and emphasize the need to view language learner silence as a multi-dimensional phenomenon.
