“…Now, as the two-decade experience of implemented social projects has revealed, 14 one of the most effective ways to reach this segment of the population is through art. Within the field of art, graffiti and rap have been the most well-received forms of expression and the most likely to attract communities (Barbio 2017; Guerra, Sarrouy, and Sousa 2019; Müller 2019; Silva, Babo, and Guerra 2015). These strategies, which currently include different types of UA projects (such as workshops, festivals, and community painting), should be framed in a set of social public policies.…”

Urban art has emerged as a new feature of cities in recent decades. Its wide success as a fresh, youthful, and cosmopolitan artistic movement has elicited the attention of urban planners, who increasingly use it in their strategies for urban development. This artistic expression has been understood as a resource to be used in urban and cultural policymaking, especially when it comes to urban reassessment and marketing. This dynamic is embedded in a paradigm where the arts and culture are increasingly understood as resources for urban development and city marketing. In this article, we draw on qualitative empirical material (interviews, official documents, press releases, websites) from an ongoing research project in the context of the Lisbon Metropolitan Area. One of the aims of this project is to analyze the link between local authorities and urban art aiming at understanding existing representations and the kinds of strategies that were put in place for its management. We conclude that largely local authorities use urban art to achieve three main strategic goals: the strategy of “landscape construction and urban reassessment,” the strategy of “refashioning the city image/city branding,” and the strategy of “social promotion of stigmatized territories and communities.”

“…That is to say, outside Lisbon and Oporto, on the basis that due to the high centralization of cultural (and hence, literary) life, it is important to research cultural practices in small and mediumsized cities (Abreu and Santos, 2002). In non-metropolitan cities, municipalities are key actors in defining cultural public policies, positioning culture as an engine of development policies (Silva et al, 2012). Due to the market's weakness to sponsor arts, municipalities and the third sector (associations, co-ops, etc) are key agents in developing local cultural practices (Silva, 2002) -including poetry publications and public readings.…”

In Chapter 2 'Showing, Telling and Selling Out', Caelli Jo Brooker and Matt Sage analyse the street press of free distribution, as a publication format that is related to recognition and urban culture, in its diverse forms. Thus, the authors intend to establish a parallel between the independent productions based on DIY and doit-yourself logics, as opposed to the commercial street press. To this end, the authors use a technique centred on autoethnography, aiming to explore the motivations, perspectives, contributions, and contradictions present in Australian independent street production. Then, in Chapter 3 'The Marginal Porto: Contributions from Hell by A.Dasilva O. in the 80's', Paula Guerra presents us with a chapter on A.DaSilva O., while introducing us to the growing openness of the city of Porto, in Portugal, in the 1980s, to the cultural and aesthetic changes that took place as a consequence of (post)modernism. A.DaSilva O. arose from the need to resist and to seek a new world, whether through radio, fanzines, music or television. Starting from the struggle for the right to be different, as the author of the chapter refers to us, a set of authors and writers stand out, namely A.DaSilva O. in the sense that it assumed itself as the key element for the publication of projects of cultural domain, based on the theme of intervention. Thus, a city is portrayed through independent publications. In Chapter 4 'Brazilian Provocations: Brazilian Counterculture through the Alternative Press -The Column Underground (1969-1971), Flor do Mal (1971) and Rolling Stone (1972-1973)', Patrícia Marcondes de Barros reflects on Brazilian counterculture from the aegis of the production, dissemination and reception of alternative press media, focusing on three demonstrative examples. Within the Brazilian context, the contents, behaviour, and the need to create alternative spaces for communication and expression are thus analysed, while at the same time binding ideological positions that consequently create a counterculture. Here counterculture takes on a different meaning since combined perspectives are presented under the study of the American underground. The main aim is to understand ideological struggles. In Chapter 5 entitled 'Boring, Unconfortable and Mutated: Chili com Carne at the Nexus of the Contemporary Portuguese Independent Comics Scene' Pedro Moura presents another type of independent publication. He gives us a glimpse of the other side, that of the production centres of the USA, France, Belgium, and Japan, with comics as the motto. As an example, the text revolves around the independent Portuguese publisher Chili Com Carne, introducing it within a scene in which multiple elements converge, such as sales markets, social structures, and messages. Furthermore, a reflection is also made around the importance of aesthetics, ethics, and politics. Still focusing on the Portuguese case, in Chapter 6 designated 'Literary Maga/zines: Poem-action and Togetherness', based on a sociology of culture, Rita Grácio addresses the con...

Resumo: O ensino/aprendizagem de métodos e técnicas de investigação no domínio das ciências sociais expandiu-se significativamente ao longo das últimas décadas, prevendo-se que continue a expandir-se e a adquirir uma relevância ainda maior devido à crescente valorização da capacidade de investigação por parte de universidades, centros de investigação, empresas e outras organizações. Contudo, não existe uma cultura pedagógica no ensino/aprendizagem de métodos e técnicas de investigação social, isto é, não temos uma discussão nem investigação sistemáticas sobre todos os aspetos que dizem respeito ao ensino/aprendizagem destes métodos e técnicas. Através da partilha da sua experiência de lecionação de unidades curriculares desta área científica, e da reflexão que realiza sobre esta experiência à luz da literatura especializada, o autor deste artigo procura contribuir para a discussão dos aspetos pedagógicos no ensino/aprendizagem de métodos e técnicas de investigação social, discussão importante, mas que tarda em se iniciar de uma forma definitiva em Portugal. Após concluir que as suas práticas pedagógicas vão ao encontro do preconizado pela literatura revista, o autor deste artigo vai para além desta literatura, propondo princípios pedagógicos (e práticas pedagógicas) que permitem ultrapassar algumas das suas principais limitações. Palavras-chave: cultura pedagógica, ensino/aprendizagem, métodos e técnicas de investigação, ciências sociais.
