“…Dotadas de grande diversidade e complexidade sociocultural, as cidades apresentam-se nos textos do dossiê não apenas, no sentido estrito, como cenários das práticas, representações e dinâmicas sociais que aí têm lugar, mas como contextos relevantes em si mesmos para a configuração e desenvolvimento dessas realidades, no seguimento de trabalhos prévios nesta área (Cordeiro, Baptista e Costa 2003) e do que tem vindo a suceder em publicações anteriores editadas pelas organizadoras deste dossiê (Ferro, Gonçalves e Raposo 2015; Gonçalves e Ferro no prelo; Ferro et al 2018). Os processos e reconfigurações dos contextos e dinâmicas urbanas põem em xeque, inclusive, as nossas categorias analíticas e conceitos e é nesse sentido que as explorações que integram este dossiê dão um importante contributo para o debate.…”

Urban ethnography: exploring contemporary cities-introduction  The dossier "Urban ethnography: exploring contemporary cities" focuses particularly on the potential and constraints of ethnographic practice carried out in different urban contexts-Oporto (Portugal), Barcelona (Spain) and Yachay (Ecuador)-and working from diverse disciplinary backgrounds (anthropology, sociology, psychology and political science). The papers share common analytical axes and are all crossed by the discussion about the possibilities of producing ethnography in the city, including relevant questioning of its sociopolitical, technical and methodological dimensions. Researches included in the dossier offer fine examples of the main challenges faced by current work in urban ethnography.

Metaphors are used in various ways; at the surface for framing a message (systems of language) and below the surface metaphors are related to the ways we think and act. In this paper we will explore, below the surface, the relationship between metaphors and urban studies. From an analysis of metaphors used in urban studies, it will be concluded that, so to speak, every new phenomenon gets a new metaphor around which theoretical notions are developed. Indeed, 'a 1000 flowers bloom' . This paper will study what urban studies can learn from organization theory. In particular, the question whether the set of metaphors from one of the classics in organizational theory-namely Gareth Morgan's Images of Organization-can inform urban studies, can be used to grasp, to 'read' cities. After exploring theoretical notions, the case study is the SS Rotterdam, a former luxury cruise ship that that came back to Rotterdam to serve as a catalyst for urban development. Different metaphors of Morgan's set are applied in this case study to get a better understanding of the management, decision making, culture and political system. It will be concluded that Morgan's set of metaphors looks promising for urban studies and recommendations are made about research lines along which further theoretical and empirical work may be carried out.

The paper presents an overview of a monograph prepared by a team of scholars representing the Ural school of regional economics, which was created under the leadership of Evgeny Animitsa and is based in the Ural State University of Economics. Methodologically, the monograph relies on a wide range of approaches in the fields of philosophy of science, regional economics, economic geography, urban studies, finance. The main research method is content analysis of achievements in regional economics and related branches of science. The review examines interrelations between the development directions of the Ural school of thought and general global trends in regional economics and reveals the specificities of the Ural science. The synopsis of the monograph’s key chapters allows evaluating the contribution of the authors into the new ideas linked both with the theoretical consideration of the current economic situation and the state-of-the-art applied research into the economy of regions, agglomerations, cities. The paper outlines a number of controversial issues concerning the fallouts of ongoing economic reforms: the possibility of emergence and the focus of synergistic effects; problems of training research personnel and reforming the system of vocational education at regional level; development of impact investment system; formation of urban agglomerations and location of productive forces in regions. Particular emphasis is put on the social orientation and comprehensive development of regional economy by supporting the well-being economy. The review demonstrates that the research of the Ural school of regional economics clusters around the major problems of science, and in some cases is ahead of world academic achievements.
