Between the conceived and the lived, the practiced: the crossing of spaces at the arts and crafts fair of Namorados Square in Vitória/ES, Brazil

Abstract

This article aims to understand how the organizational space of a fair (the Arts and Crafts Fair of the Namorados Square, in Vitória, Espírito Santo) constitutes itself as an intersection of uses that different subjects adopt in the urban space. For this, we used an ethnographic method, with the data produced from systematic and participative observations between May and October 2015. We examined the data based on categories created from the theoretical propositions of the authors Henri Lefebvre and Michel De Certeau. Results show that the organization of the fair is determined by provisional practices, whose existence is permeated by manifestations of power, resistance and conflict, which emerge from the daily life of the subjects. By revealing forces that act by forming ephemeral harmonies, we show the intersections of space that are conceived and lived. The fair, as an organizational form, emerges from the juxtaposition of uses and appropriations of its spaces, in dynamic relationships that privilege space concepts elaborated by certain subjects and sometimes by others.

Práticas Organizacionais Contemporâneas

“…[...] Tem que batalhar um pouquinho mais pra eu conseguir as vendas". As constatações de Marielle corroboram com a nossa compreensão de que o espaço periférico é um lugar praticado, porque a produção desse espaço emerge das relações entre o/a sujeito/a e o mundo, em uma dinâmica mútua de ser produzido pela periferia e produzir a periferia, acarretando em uma experienciação distinta a cada sujeito/a periférico/a DOMINGUES;FIGUEIREDO, 2019). Adicionalmente a essa discussão, está a reflexão de Anete Ivo sobre o fato de que o ser periférico não é uma condição natural, já posta previamente, mas sim uma simbologia de representação do ponto de vista dos outros (atores hegemônicos) sobre os espaços que foram construídos e normatizados nas cidades (IVO, 2010).…”

Organizações enquanto práticas: uma análise narrativa no contexto da economia criativa local

“…Alguns autores e autoras, ao estudarem as práticas organizativas, ressaltaram a importância de compreender que as práticas, por vezes, se baseiam na apropriação e resistência diante do management, bem como em estratégias e táticas do espaço narrado (HOLANDA, 2011;BRETAS;CARRIERI, 2017;DOMINGUES;FANTINEL;FIGUEIREDO, 2019); conciliam interesses diferentes e lidam com en-…”

Daily Practices and Processes of Territorialization of Settlers in Querência Do Norte, Paraná, Brazil

“…As Ribeiro, Ipiranga, Oliveira, and Dias (2019, p. 591) argue, this interest carries with it "[...] the social and political sense of practices which are expressed subjectively in a patchwork which is full of contradictions", constructed based on everyday movements, derived, in turn, by activities exercised by social actors which unfold in events which provoke changes in the course of events. The following recent studies in the field of organizational studies are worthy of notice : Carrieri, Saraiva, and Pimentel (2008) study hippy fairs in Minas Gerais, focusing on subversive actions of survival in the face of the process of institutionalization; Oliveira and Cavedon (2013) analyze everyday life in a circus based on ethnography; Teixeira, Saraiva, and Carrieri (2015) conduct a discussion of identity and the everyday life of maids; Ribeiro et al (2019) articulate a discussion based on the feminist perspective and the practice of artisan resistance, discussing the issues of ordinary women; and Domingues, Fantinel, and Figueiredo (2019) use ethnography to examine the organizational space of an artisan fair in the State of Espírito Santo from the points of view of Henri Lefebvre and Michel de Certeau.…”
