“…Several studies that have employed discourse analysis for exploring computermediated interaction, mobile instant messaging system, information and communication technology (ICT)-enhanced socio-economic development, education and spatial policy discourses (Richardson & Jensen, 2003;Thompson, 2005;Ng'ambi, 2008;Chigona & Chigona, 2008) have not explored SNSs. Moreover, a top down approach to discourse is evident in studies on public officials' speeches on the adoption of ICTs in emerging and advanced countries (Thompson, 2005;Roode, Speight, Pollock & Webber, 2004).…”

While research literature affirms the potential for social networking sites (SNSs) to democratise communication, their impact on micro-level, academic relations at university level has not been explored sufficiently in developing countries. The literature on SNSs (especially Facebook) has emphasised its appropriation for the marketing of university programs to prospective students and enhancing institutionallevel contact between university administration and students. As such, the impact of SNSs on micro-level (educator-learner and learner-peer) relations and relational power remains speculative. Mindful of how discursive types and discourses inform the construction of social power, this study employs critical discourse analysis (CDA) and educator-learners Facebook conversations to expose the exercise of relational power and social learning in these interactional spaces. Facebook postings are examined to explore academic relations and associated learner challenges like limited meaningful engagement with peers and content, superficial learning and general academic underpreparedness. The findings suggest the prevalence of formal authoritative (or hierarchical) discourses, few informal liberating (horizontal) discourses, nascent peerbased collaboration and limited learner engagement with theory. These phenomena generally point at first year students' under-developed study skills and less sophisticated literacies. The challenges and potential for transformative learning are explored and possibilities for effective engagement suggested.

“…Supporters for the New Urbanism (Harvey, 2000;Richardson, & Jensen, 2003) are convinced that the key problem of the city in the era of modernism and postmodernism, as well, is in organisation and mobility. The main problem is to achieve a certain balance in the discourse: the socio-economic, cultural and technocratic (Harvey, 2000).…”

The article provides an overview of the discussions of foreign and domestic authors about the prospects and models of urban development, ongoing in the context of the new urbanism, cultural sociology of space. The conclusion is that the city as a place of mobility, as a variety of intensive social interaction networks, produces fields of social inequality. A comparative analysis of the empirical data relating to the study of the spatial, social and economic development of Tomsk city and the identification of citizens' loyalty to its development strategies is conducted. Adequate management strategies of spatial development of the city, including the global and local challenges, are revealed. Global experience shows that the quality of the urban environment is the balance among state control, commercial initiatives and involvement of citizens. Only in this case the "spatial inequality" won't develop exponentially. The article also analyzes the management decisions related to the tasks of smoothing inequality, overcome stereotypes, removing communication barriers, the construction of new types of social interactions, the institutionalization of new urban citizenship codes. In line with the concept of inclusive design is considered production of spatial justice city, convenient for people's lives with a different set of options.

“…Quando as empregadas, ao contarem sua história de vida, se referem aos lugares nos quais já viveram, há uma referência sentimental a eles atribuída por acontecimentos e sensações que ficaram em suas memórias. Os lugares representam símbolos da alteridade do passado em relação ao presente (CARDOSO, 2007) e, por meio de processos de identificação, recebem sentido (RICHARDSON, JENSEN, 2003), tornando-se história codificada (STEWART; STRATHERN, 2003). É no lugar que os sujeitos produzem suas subjetividades, pensando a partir dele "o viver, o trabalhar, formar laços sociais e identificar-se com os semelhantes" (VILHENA, 2002, p. 50).…”

ResumoQ uais são os lugares das empregadas domésticas? Buscando solucionar essa questão, este artigo utiliza a noção de lugar como espaço social e simbólico que se relaciona à territorialidade e à identidade. Para o estudo, foram entrevistadas empregadas domésticas em uma abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa, sob o método de história de vida, considerando que as noções de tempo e de memória estão diretamente relacionadas às de lugar, território e identidade. Pelas trajetórias de vida das empregadas, percebemos maior identificação e sentimento de pertencimento com os lugares atuais de trabalho e de moradia. No lugar de trabalho, a casa enquanto esfera produtiva, há, ao mesmo tempo, proximidade física e distanciamento simbólico entre empregadas e patrões. O que se destaca nos depoimentos é a recorrente negação da condição de empregada doméstica para se permitirem pertencerem aos lugares. Os resultados reforçam tanto o simbolismo do lugar quanto sua pluralidade, já que são lugares, no plural, os ocupados pelas empregadas domésticas e reforçam, sobretudo, a diferenciação entre estar fisicamente em um lugar e simbolicamente a ele pertencer. Além disso, observamos que as empregadas, como qualquer sujeito social, podem experimentar diversas noções de pertencimento e territorialidade ao longo de suas vidas. Palavras-chave:Lugares. Empregadas domésticas. Identidade. Território. História. AbstractW hat are the places of the housemaids? Seeking to answer this question, this paper uses the notion of place as a social and symbolic space which relates to territoriality and identity. For the study, housemaids were interviewed in a qualitative research approach. The chosen method was life story, because the notions of time and memory are directly related to the place, DOI: 10.1590DOI: 10. /1984 o&s -Salvador, v. 22 -n. 72, p. 161-178 -Jan./Mar. -2015 www.revistaoes.ufba.br 162 Juliana Cristina Teixeira & Luiz Alex Silva Saraiva & Alexandre de Pádua Carrieri territory and identity. By the life trajectories of the housemaids, we realize a greater identification and sense of belonging with the current places of work and housing. In the workplace, the home as a productive sphere, there are at the same time a physical proximity and a symbolic distance between housemaid and employers. What stands out in their statements is a recurring denial of the condition of housemaid to allow themselves to belong to the places. The main contributions of this study reinforce both the symbolism of the place as its plurality, since they are places, in the plural, occupied by the housemaids; and reinforce especially the differentiation between being physically in a place and symbolically belong to this place. Furthermore, we observed that the housemaids, like any social subject, may experience different notions of belonging and territoriality, according to the different stages of her lives.Keywords: Places.
