Ethnographic Approach

In this article we explore creativity in everyday literacies. We arguethat much creativity can be found in the seemingly mundane and repetitiveacts of text production and text use that are part of everyday life and work.Such creativity can only be identified, however, if we look beyond the textsthemselves and examine the practices of making and engaging with texts.Once we leave aside conventional text-based notions of creativity, whichfocus on aesthetic features of language, we can understand creativity as a‘popular’ and ‘ubiquitous’ event. To support our argument, we giveexamples from two different contexts: research on literacy in a parishcommunity in the North-West of England and a study of literacy in relationto community-based tourism in Namibia.

Abstract: Convivencia is a Spanish concept that addresses the ways of living together, living with others. School convivencia in particular is formed by the tapestry of social relations that construct the everyday life in schools, and it provides the relational elements and boundaries where the school experience is constructed. This article derives from an investigation of the relationships between two Mexican primary schools and their local communities and their implications for school convivencia. It presents two challenges of analysing school convivencia from an ethnographic perspective: the struggle between restrictive and comprehensive approaches and the tension between the specific and the complex in understanding convivencia.

The main purpose of folklore is to convey present useful information and everyday life lessons in an easy way for the common people to understand. "The transmission process of folklore is still largely undocumented." Minahasan people still believe that Folklore become a philosophy in life. That philosophy never changes although time is changed until era 0.5. This research is entitled “Abstraction of Minahasan Folklore in Food”.   The problems are the form and meaning of abstraction of Minahasan folklore in food. The method used is a qualitative method through an ethnography at the level of descriptive synchronic linguistics.

This essay analyzes discourses and narratives of men who frequent the washrooms at public venues in Havana. The graffiti on toilet room walls works as an articulator of micro markets of sexual communication and gender/sexual relations. In this article graffiti is the focus of an ethnographic approach to everyday life and discourses on homoeroticism at play in those sites. The final part of the essay moves on from graffiti in public toilets to chart other places constituting a homoerotic ambiente in Havana.

Resumo: Com a implementação dos Grandes Projetos de Desenvolvimento, as grandes e médias cidades amazônicas sofreram transformações substanciais nas dinâmicas dos espaços rural e urbano e entre eles. Em meio a esse contexto, este estudo buscou descrever e analisar as mudanças decorridas do fenômeno urbano na vida cotidiana da Comunidade do Mata Fome, situada na periferia de Belém (PA). O percurso metodológico foi estabelecido por pesquisas bibliográficas e de campo. Nesta última, seguindo os princípios de uma abordagem etnográfica, as conversas informais, a observação participante, os registros fotográficos, as memórias e as vivências do autor e de outros moradores da comunidade configuraram-se como as fontes de informação e as ferramentas de pesquisa utilizadas para a coleta dos dados. Os resultados indicam que o viver no Mata Fome sofreu mudanças vultosas com o fenômeno da urbanização, pois a dinâmica da vida cotidiana dessa espacialidade foi aos poucos passando por um processo de transição: sendo antes norteada por valores de uma psicosfera com fortes ligações e harmonia com a natureza, porém, hoje, essa dinâmica tem sido subjugada por preceitos de uma psicosfera urbana – a qual, na busca pelo progresso da modernidade, materializa no espaço amazônico uma tecnosfera desigual e excludente.Palavras-chave: Amazônia. Urbanização. Psicosfera da floresta. Psicosfera urbana. Comunidade do Mata Fome  BETWEEN THE FOREST'S AND THE URBAN'S PSYCHOSPHERE: AN ETHNOGRAPHIC DIVE IN AN AMAZONIAN COMMUNITY  Abstract: With the implementation of the Great Development Projects, the large and medium-sized Amazonian cities have undergone substantial transformations in the dynamics of rural and urban spaces and between them. In the midst of this context, this study sought to describe and analyze the changes resulting from the urban phenomenon in the daily life of the Mata Fome Community, located on the outskirts of Belém (PA). The methodological path was established by bibliographic and field research. In the latter, following the principles of an ethnographic approach, informal conversations, participant observation, photographic records, memories and experiences of the author and other residents of the community. The results indicate that living in Mata Fome has undergone major changes with the phenomenon of urbanization, because the dynamics of everyday life in this spatiality has been gradually undergoing a transition process: rather being guided by values of a psychosphere with strong connections and harmony with nature, however, today, this dynamic has been overwhelmed by the precepts of an urban psychosphere - which, in the search for the progress of modernity, materializes in the Amazon space an unequal and exclusive technosphere.Keywords: Amazon.

Ghassan Moussawi’s Disruptive Situations challenges the exceptionalist representations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT) experiences in Beirut through a focus on the everyday queer strategies and tactics. Moussawi analyzes the everyday practices of LGBT interlocutors navigating al-wad’ (the situation), a term that refers to the normative order of disruptions, precarity, and instability that permeate daily life across contemporary Beirut. Al-wad’ simultaneously features as a historical condition of perpetual instability bearing on daily life in Beirut, as well as a lens to analyze the practices of everyday life for Moussawi’s LGBT interlocutors. Moussawi’s inductive ethnographic approach charts the strategic use of identities, visibility, and “bubbles” or sources of solace in order to challenge exceptionalist representations of Beirut and LGBT experiences in the city. Moussawi critiques these reductive representations as “fractal orientalism”, a reductive representation that embeds hierarchies and exclusion through geographic associations, such as in fashioning Beirut as the “Paris of the Middle East”. Beirut becomes charming and “cosmopolitan” in a way that is similar to, but not quite, the same as Paris. Moussawi’s focus on queer daily practices against the backdrop of al-wad’ shows the limitations of these reductive representations in an effort to reimagine queerness, subjectivity, and politics.

Diverse Culture

Mathematics is still viewed as a culture-free subject. This forms a negative perception for students on mathematics. Most students assume that mathematics and culture are not related. This may occur because mathematics taught in school is not contextual and far from the reality of everyday life. Historically, mathematics has become a part of everyday life. As a maritime nation, Indonesia has a diverse culture. But many teachers are not yet aware of the integration of the culture into mathematics learning. Barongko cake is one of the Buginese cultural heritages. Buginese people have unconsciously been practicing mathematics in making these cakes. Therefore, this research aims to explore activities in making Barongko cakes in the Buginese community that involves mathematical concepts. This research is a qualitative descriptive with an ethnographic approach. The data collection methods are carried out through observation, documentation, interview with an expert in making Barongko cake. This research found that Barongko making process involves mathematics in the concept of division, congruence, and similarity, as well as a triangular prism, and half sphere. This cake has the potential to be used as a source of contextual mathematics learning in schools.
