- Abstract
The presentation of the "Spaces, Symbolisms and Power Relations" Dossier exposes and comments on seven texts which debate the processes of creation and symbolization of spaces, be them classified as urban, rural, popular, ethnic-racial, of gender, etc. With the aim of intercrossing the perspectives and fomenting a broad dialogue, we have selected research taken place in Lisbon, Buenos Aires. the Cariri area in Ceará, São Paulo, Curitiba, Porto Alegre and Rio de Janeiro. The result was the formation of a body of articles that analyze striking traces of the present time, such as the growing commodification of spaces, the wave of governmental policies with a conservative bias, and the dissemination of initiatives of collective memories recognition. We also observed how individuals and collective groups perceive the places the inhabit, which actions they demand to guarantee their interests or provoke changes in the social order and how certain interventions reify or destabilize territorial ordainments, cultural differences and social inequalities. From the texts, we design a reading itinerary divided in two great axes. The first is composed by analysis which privilege the comprehension of financializaton processes and agrarian, real estate, tourist and security exploration, as well as the State's political and bureaucratical machine operated by private entities and their interests. And the second with studies which focus with more emphasis on the understanding of dissents and conflicts concerning the ways of space occupation and the pleas of social recognition by subordinated and minority segments.
