Usually, the figures and facts used to analyze cycling mobility in the urban environment, are hardly based in references to infrastructures as a factor that facilitates / hinders that mobility. Convinced of the need to consider other influential variables, we address from the CICLA project the general objective of knowing mobility in urban areas of Andalusia. More specifically we are committed to knowing which are the main social discourses and practices around the use of the bicycle, within the need to incorporate social, economic, political and cultural aspects usually separated from the analysis. Based on a qualitative methodology and a holistic approach, the results of this research shed light on some of these aspects, providing some conclusions and reflections of interest for the promotion of the bicycle as a means of transport in our cities.

De forma habitual, las cifras y hechos que se emplean para analizar la movilidad ciclista en el ámbito urbano están fuertemente basadas en las infraestructuras como factor que facilitan/dificultan esa movilidad. Con el convencimiento de la necesidad de considerar otras variables influyentes, abordamos desde el proyecto CICLA el objetivo general de conocer la movilidad en zonas urbanas de Andalucía. Más concretamente, apostamos por estudiar los principales discursos y prácticas sociales en torno al uso de la bicicleta, dentro de la necesidad de incorporar aspectos sociales, económicos, políticos y culturales habitualmente apartados del análisis. Con una metodología de corte cualitativo y un enfoque holístico, los resultados de esta investigación arrojan luz sobre algunos de estos aspectos, aportando algunas conclusiones y reflexiones de interés para la promoción de la bicicleta como medio de transporte en nuestras ciudades ; Usually, the figures and facts used to analyze cycling mobility in the urban environment, are hardly based in references to infrastructures as a factor that facilitates / hinders that mobility.

AbstractThis article explores how narratives and their discursive elements construct the idea of rebelliousness in subjects who followed different pathways through politics and activism after the Spanish 15-M movement. Methodologically, two representative examples of narratives have been selected on the basis of interviews with participants in the movement. To study these cases, the concept of rebel narratives is proposed from the perspective of narrative as social practice. The analysis applied here is based on a dialogue between the two cases studied, as discourses in which the activity of their tellers develops in certain contexts of discourse production. Based on this analysis, it is suggested that rebelliousness, in addition to manifesting subjective affiliations, fulfils a performative function with which the subjects legitimise their chosen path and constitute themselves, motivating, in the cases presented, revisions of the past or the rhetoric characteristic of a hero.

AbstractDepopulation of the rural world jeopardises the continuity of many communities and the socioecosystems they support. In response to this situation, diverse strategies are activated to ensure the continuity of these socioecosystems. All these initiatives seek, directly or indirectly, to strengthen community resilience, with a view to making the changes required to reverse the population trend. One of the most obvious, but least studied, effects of depopulation is the abandonment of housing, which initially implies urban deterioration and collapse but which can also become an opportunity if these abandoned houses are turned into a resource at different levels and in different arenas. An ethnographic case study conducted in the Sierra de Aracena Mountains (South West Spain) allows us to explore the link between housing and community resilience, helping us understand how the use and management of redundant housing can be a fundamental component of resilience in rural settings marked by depopulation.
