The objective of this study is to interpret supermarket stores as privileged spaces for the observation of social relations. The article is based on an ethnography of shopping conducted in the city of Florianópolis, Brazil, by observing middle class housewives during their daily shopping in supermarkets. These stores are seen as places, in opposition to that proposed by Augè (1995), who affirms that supermarkets are non-places produced by supermodernity. The article discusses the history of supermarkets, their role in the cultural and social transformations of the twentieth century, as well as ethnographic data, and shows that it is possible to identify many social interactions inside Brazilian supermarkets.

This essay concentrates on early modern expressions of literary hybridi-ty in the 17th-century gallant letters of Vincent Voiture (1597-1648), Charles Cotin (1604-1681) and Antoine Godeau (1605-1672), circulating in the Parisian salon L’Hôtel de Rambouillet. Firstly, we look at the hybridity of the letter form an sich, within the context of salon sociability and early gallantry. Secondly, we study the mul-tiplicity of both the authorial voice and the audience of the gallant letter. Thirdly, we highlight the intriguing exchange between genres within the gallant letter, as well as their confrontation and, finally, cross-fertilisation. This tripartite case study sub-stantiates our conviction that literary hybridity functions as an intriguing indicator and catalyst of literary evolution and creation.

The objective of this study is to investigate the appropriation of digital technologies in processes of identity elaboration and sociability in a group of poor urban workers living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The article presents an ethnographic study of LAN houses – the Brazilian cybercafés - focusing on technological uses and their connection with issues such as the role of games as a motor of local sociability and the appropriation of digital technologies as a way of elaborating identities and classifications, through social distinction and cultural tastes. The influence of Internet centers’ attendants was analyzed in connection with the consumption of cultural products such as games and musical styles. The results showed the use of these products in the process of elaboration of local youngsters’ social classifications. The study reveals in what ways game motivation and musical style choices are collectively molded, highlightening the importance of group distinctions and belonging.

An ancient Etruscan settlement located in the Valdichiana, along the border between Tuscany and Umbria, Cortona has attracted renewed interest over the last two decades among historians of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Falling into this line of research is the publication of the communal statute from 1325, when the government handed the reins of power to the seigneurial regime revolving around Ranieri Casali. In the same year, Cortona became an episcopal seat and thus also gained the status of a city proper. Through a careful analysis of this extraordinarily rich source, the article outlines the salient aspects of the city’s economy and society, with a focus on its environmental resources and urban activities, the distribution of wealth and its poor relief, the condition of women, and the topography of social relations. The picture that emerges from this analysis is that of a lively and dynamic city, arguably at the peak of its development, at a time when many urban centres in Italy and across Europe were already experiencing a downturn after the economic expansion of the Middle Ages.

The industrial revolution, as well as the French revolution in the 18th century, marked the period of transition from feudalism to capitalism in Europe. These two events generated two new social classes: the working class and the bourgeoisie. With the progressive concentration of these emerging classes in urban centers, to the detriment of rural areas, the movement of people, machines and goods became an essential urban function, generating new social public spaces. This article proposes an analysis, based on a literature review, of the streets known as Grands Boulevards, proposed by George Eugène Haussmann for Paris in the middle of the 19th century, and their role as a sociability space. The aim of this article is to present similarities between the Parisian avenues and Portuguese solutions of streets in Lisbon in social and urban-design terms. The repetition of Haussmannian characteristic was seen in several cities in the world, however in the city of Lisbon it was designed on a much larger scale. The construction of a new avenue, known as Avenida da Liberdade, for the growth and beautification of the city was inspired by Haussmann work in Paris and became a place to see and be seen in. The consumption habits of the new classes within a modern machine city, asked for different street shapes and sizes, which were designed for everyday use in order to organize the city’s urban fabric. Wider, greener and equipped with urban furniture, these representative avenues both in Paris and Lisbon were more inviting and open to a diversity of social classes and their coexistence, until then segregated at public spaces.

Rewolucja przemysłowa wraz z rewolucją francuską w XVIII w. wyznaczyły granice okresu przejścia od systemu feudalnego do kapitalistycznego w Europie. Obie rewolucje przyczyniły się do powstania dwóch warstw społecznych: klasy robotniczej i burżuazji. Wraz z postępującą koncentracją w centrach miast tych świeżo powstałych klas oraz ubytkiem ludności na wsi, przepływ ludzi, maszyn i towarów stał się jedną z zasadniczych funkcji miejskich, przyczyniając się do tworzenia nowych przestrzeni publicznych o społecznym charakterze. W artykule przedstawiono – opartą na studiach bibliograficznych – analizę ulic znanych jako Grands Boulevards, zaprojektowanych przez barona George’a Eugène’a Haussmanna dla Paryża w połowie XIX w., oraz rozważania na temat ich roli w tworzeniu publicznej przestrzeni społecznej. Zanalizowano także wzorowaną na nich lizbońską Avenida da Liberdade. Głównym celem pracy było wykazanie podobieństw pomiędzy rozwiązaniami paryskimi i tymi zastosowanymi już na znacznie większą skalę w stolicy Portugalii, zarówno w formie urbanistycznej, jak i socjalnej. Nowe aleje związane były bowiem z rozwojem urbanistycznym i upiększaniem stolic Francji i Portugalii, ale stały się również miejscem, w którym obserwowano i było się widzianym w sensie społecznym. Nowe zwyczaje nowych klas społecznych w nowoczesnym mieście wymagały odmiennych układów i rozwiązań ulic, projektowanych do codziennego funkcjonowania w uporządkowanej strukturze urbanistycznej. Szersze, pełne zieleni i wyposażone w elementy małej architektury reprezentacyjne ulice zarówno w Paryżu, jak i w Lizbonie stały się miejscem zapraszającym i otwartym na współ-egzystencję i łączenie zróżnicowanych klas społecznych, dotychczas często od siebie odizolowanych.

With findings from cognitive science, neuroscience, information science, and paleoanthropology, an anthropologist and astronomer-priest team take a new look at the nature of morality, and suggest parameters that are often very different from the philosophical and theological literatures. They see morality as a biologically-based arbitration mechanism that works along a timeline with a valence of good to bad. It is rational, purposeful, social, and affected by emotion but not dominated by it. The authors examine the age and sex structure, family roles, environment, cognition, and lifeway of Homo erectus, an early hominin who arose 1.9 million years ago, and propose that he had a rudimentary moral system that his biology and culture enabled – but only after he learned to control fire. Hearths gave rise to an intense, social, emotional, experiential context where belief systems could be learned by youth before they achieved adult cognition.
