¿Cómo acceder a la tierra para producir alimentos orgánicos?
Publication . Delgado, Cecília; Centro Interdisciplinar de Ciências Sociais (CICS.NOVA - NOVA FCSH); Instituto Universitario de Urbanistica de la Universidad de Valladolid
Organic food demand in Portugal swiftly increases due to local governments willingness to include organic and locally produced food in school meals. We argue that local production is limited because there are no multi-sector or multi-actors approaches regarding land access, a necessity to secure local organic food supply. Based on a stakeholder's mapping approach and semi-structured interviews and taking Torres Vedras as a pilot study we conclude that local policies require a bundle of instruments which should be made suitable for local realities. Nevertheless, local authorities have a key-role to play as facilitators for accessing land for organic food production.
Shared service centers and territories

The objective of this text is to analyze territorial development factors, promoted by the agglomeration of shared service centers, which contribute to the regional and urban economy through the spillover effect, observing interrelated corporate components of governance, strategy and location, as well as externalities on the non-participants, in particular at the economic, social and environmental levels. Studies were carried out in different sectors in the Northeast and Center-South geo-economic regions of Brazil, highlighting the beverage, pharmacy, transport and financial services segments; and in the cities of Lisbon and Porto, in Portugal, and their metropolitan areas, namely in the technology, telecommunications and transport segments. To this end, a literature review was carried out, connecting elements of human capital, innovation and knowledge with the phenomenon of sharing services and the areas of research support; and accessed executive documents, which deal with planning and implementation of service centers. The methodology favored the content analysis of semi-structured interviews with one hundred and twenty professionals from the companies and governments of the regions, which provided a better understanding of the phenomenon, its activities and repercussions. The relevance of territorial configurations was perceived as a strategic component and economic development, promoted by the agglomeration of people, processes and technology in shared service centers, enhanced by the agglomeration of these equipments, which operate in different ecosystems, but obtain competitive advantage and increases in value chains through the network economy. The research contributed to broadening the understanding of the relationship between territory and companies' strategies, with emphasis on development factors.
Olhares cruzados sobre arte, imagem e resistências urbanas

O artigo situa a cidade como território de produção e disseminação de práticas artísticas organizada pelas múltiplas e plurais formas de resistência, ativismo e contestação utilizadas nas lutas culturais, sociais, políticas e identitárias. Destacamos, como característica da arte ativista contemporânea, as narrativas e estratégias tem estetizado os pólos de conflito e presenças a partir das dimensões macro e micropolíticas de territórios e corpos-políticos de enunciação. Entre essas performances visuais chamamos atenção para as estratégias de visibilidade e exposição a partir de práticas artísticas e poéticas contra-coloniais. Por fim, relatamos um percurso de organização de olhares cruzados sobre arte, imagem e resistências urbanas tema da edição número 56 da Revista Iluminuras (PPGAS/UFRGS).
Pensar a juventude enquanto sujeito político
Publication . Campos, Ricardo; Centro Interdisciplinar de Ciências Sociais (CICS.NOVA - NOVA FCSH); scielopt
A literatura em torno da articulação entre juventude e política oscila frequentemente entre visões pessimistas, que apontam para a pouca participação e desinteresse demonstrados pelos jovens ou, pelo contrário, visões mais otimistas, que destacam o vigor de formas de participação mais difusas e extrainstitucionais. Na verdade, pelo facto de estarmos perante uma categoria socioetária vasta e heterogénea, marcada por condições socioculturais muito distintas, certamente que ambas as visões retratam realidades juvenis. Não são, por isso, perspetivas absolutamente antagónicas. Neste artigo, procuramos debater as questões da articulação entre juventude e política a partir de uma conceção do jovem enquanto sujeito político, marcado por uma condição de liminaridade (e subalternidade).

Objective: To evaluate the association of a combined measure of availability and use of facilities from the food environment and overweight (including obesity) among schoolchildren, while taking into account the physical activity and social-assistance environments. Methods: Cross-sectional study with a probabilistic sample of schoolchildren aged 7 to 14 years living in a southern Brazilian city (n = 2026). Multilevel analyses were performed with overweight as outcome and the food environment as main exposure. Models were adjusted for the physical activity and social-assistance environments, as well as individual and other residential neighborhood characteristics. Results: Greater availability of restaurants around the home was associated with higher odds of overweight (odds ratio [OR] = 1.40; 95% CI = 1.06-1.85). Stronger associations were found for schoolchildren reporting to use restaurants (OR = 1.48; 95% CI = 1.15-1.90). This association remained significant after adjusting for the presence of other food retailers. Schoolchildren who had social-assistance facilities around their homes, but reported not to use them, showed consistently higher odds of being overweight (OR = 1.34; 95% CI = 1.01-1.78) as compared to schoolchildren who had these facilities near home and used them. The physical activity environment was not associated with the outcome. Conclusions: Availability and use of the food and social-assistance environments were significantly associated with overweight (including obesity) among the schoolchildren. Future research should consider the use of environmental facilities in combination to their geographical availability. Our results highlight the need for policies that limit the access to obesogenic food outlets by children and adolescents.
