A análise leva em conta a presença do automóvel como estruturante da cidade sexualizada e as expressões urbanas produzidas por mulheres e coletivos artísticos como forma de resistência e demarcação do lugar e da mobilidade. Os estudos queer, a sociologia, a antropologia urbana e a filosofia compõem o arsenal teórico que dão suporte a essa investigação multidisciplinar.

Existing studies (Devine- Wright & Howes, 2010; Anderson, 2013) have investigated the ways in which representations of diverse forms of place change are anchored and objectified symbolically based on existing social representations of place. These studies have shown that the degree of fit between representations of place and proposed place change can be seen to inform community responses to different developments. There is however, a dearth of research investigating the symbolic fit of power line projects amongst existing representations of the English countryside, despite the fact that such projects are both highly controversial and key to ensuring delivery of low-carbon energy policy targets. This paper thus sought to explore social representations of a pro...

Social Representations Theory started by offering an over-sharp distinction between the reified and the consensual universes of which science and common sense, respectively, were presented as paradigmatic. This paper, however, suggests that the notions of consensual and reified can be considered as describing two distinct communicative formats: reification implying the use of arguments which establish prescriptions for representations and action, and consensualization relying on arguments which recognize the heterogeneity of representation and action. We illustrate this proposal through the analysis of a case in which the expert and the lay spheres of a Lisbon neighborhood opposed each other regarding the new laws of public participation in community mat...
