1.)
"Leisure and cultural practices in the Metropolitan
Region of São Paulo (MRSP)"
It seeks to identify what kind of options the inhabitants
prefer concerning cultural practices, either in erudite
or popular manifestations. It tries to detect new practices,
new sociability forms, new uses of the public space, uses
of the private space and the control of equipment or goods
of a cultural nature. In this way, the research will be
able to characterize the different sort of existent publics
and their behavior (closeness or distance) to certain practices.
Surveying
cultural equipments in the MRSP
Gathering
information about the cultural equipments available in
the MRSP – not foreseen in the original project for
the CEM’s Culture Area – is a set of databases
composed of all private or public cultural equipment (cinemas,
libraries, theatres etc.) and also buildings under government
trust. Updated to 2002, the database is essential for
the spatial analysis that is required from the results
of the the survey on cultural practices and use of leisure
time. Two publications have already dealt with these data:
“Os equipamentos culturais na cidade de São
Paulo: um desafio para a gestão pública”
and “Equipamentos e serviços culturais na
região central do município de São
Paulo” (forthcoming).

2.)
"Religious dynamics in the MRSP"
This research departs from the transformations in the
Brazilian religious area for the last three decades. Such
changes - faster in large urban centers – is the
result of diversifications in the religious alternatives
and the intensive religious “transit” among
the believers of these new options. The general proposal
of this project is to be able to draw the current configuration
of this field and to understand how religiosity is appropriated
in a metropolis, emphasizing the following aspects: the
religious ‘transit’, observing not only the
people that change religious affiliation but also the
practices and beliefs; the occupation and the use of the
City by the religious; and the solidarity network that
is formed by them, helping some of these people to increase
their social inclusion in the society.

3.) "Socioeconomic characterization of television
viewers in the MRSP"
The project aims to characterize the socioeconomic profile
of the television viewers in order to understand cultural
practices in a metropolis. The project compares the consumers’
point of view (through an audience survey) with the citizens’,
analyzing the disjunctions between the market and the
society. The research will use an original collection
of documents from Ibope, which has been deposited in the
University of Campinas (UNICAMP).
