Rousseau, A Constituição De Cádis E A Renacença Portuguesa, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

Todos os anos há muita coisa a comemorar. Comemoramos o que nos diz respeito, o que acarinhamos. Tal como os países consideram feriados os dias que mais dizem às forças políticas que em cada momento mandam. Comemorar Rousseau, a Constituição de Cádis e a Renascença Portuguesa parecem-nos a nós 3 celebrações importantes, no plano universal e europeu, ibero-americano e português. Não é serviço fúnebre, mas olhar de Janus, em que, contemplando o passado, se encara com nova face o futuro. Refletindo. Este ano são os centenários que vou pessoalmente comemorar, e ajudar a comemorar em conjunto. A menos que tenha …

Agency, Structures And Peru: Action And In-Action During 1980-2000, Kimberly A. Protzel

Master's Theses

The Shining Path along with Alberto Fujimori's presidency in Peru (encompassing the years 1980-2000) created a terrifying chaos that was wound up in both state and insurgent terrorism, corruption, and massacres. While this chaos is inextricably linked to Peru's history, I fear is being all too quickly forgotten. My main motivation behind this research has been to take a step towards increasing awareness of these events and the many reasons behind them: the agenic nature of some versus the lack of it in others, structures developed by colonialism, and most terrifyingly of all - willful ignorance. By understanding these reasons, …

Also, the assessment should mainly be focused to the target group of beneficiaries. The role of corporation can be …

Programa Mínimo Para A Democracia, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

Muitos consideram já que a situação que se vive não é mais de Democracia. É um veredicto perigoso e grave. Mas deve ser considerado. Independentemente dele, porém, é preciso pensar e repensar a Democracia. Pessoalmente, pensamos que ela tem, em Portugal, uma excelente base consensual: a Constituição. E não é por acaso que verdadeiros inimigos de uma Democracia plena (política, cultural, social, ecológica...) são inimigos da Constituição. É sempre salutar discutir a Democracia. É sinónimo dela... Ou que, na sua falta, há quem com ela se preocupe. Contudo, mais que isso nos parece urgente defendê-la. E o programa mínimo de …

Reflexões sobre o impulso criativo e comunicacional e sobre a dificuldade técnica ou de expressão, assim como a propósito da in-compreensão da crítica, e do público, quando os haja.

Clima Anticonstitucional, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

É complicado defender-se intransigentemente a ética republicana e apontar o dedo a quem a evidentemente despreze, e, ao mesmo tempo, conseguir deixar intocado o prestígio das instituições, sempre mais ou menos atingidas pela repercussão de atos de titulares de cargos eventualmente menos retos. É contudo o que deve fazer-se, mas pedagogicamente explicitando a diferença entre o ser e o dever-ser. Entre a pessoa e a instituição, etc., etc. Uma das grandes virtualidades de um regime democrático é que podem vir mais facilmente à luz do dia os erros e os crimes de políticos. E podem ser criticados e punidos. Por …

Proibição Do Retrocesso E Reserva Do Possível: Princípios Constitucionais Para Tempos De Crise, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

Os princípios constitucionais mais susceptíveis de ser invocados em tempos de crise (quando se presta atenção à Constituição), o da proibição do retrocesso e o da reserva do possível, precisam de ser repensados. Não atirados um contra o outro, e defendidos, ora um ora outro, ao sabor de paixões, mas compreendidos ambos como concorrendo para a defesa da Constituição em situações limite. Certamente há algo maior por detrás desses dois princípios aparentemente contraditórios.

Inconstitucionalidade Do Orçamento Do Estado. A Caminho De Uma "Constituição" Flexível Infralegal?, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

Não é salutar a banalização da afirmação mediática de inconstitucionalidades e de anti-constitucionalidades. Assim como não é sintoma de regular funcionamento das instituições democráticas o silêncio e o desprezo pela Constituição. A questão da constitucionalidade do OGE pode ser um teste muito significativo à nossa saúde e cultura constitucionais.

Bath, Maine: A City Of Ships, Taylor Witkin

Historical Ecology Atlas of New England

Known as Maine’s city of ships, Bath sits on the shores of the Kennebec River, about 15 miles from the Gulf of Maine and 40 miles up the coast from Portland. Though small in population, Bath’s impact on Maine, the rest of United States, and even on the world has been anything but small. Today Bath is known mostly for the Bath Iron Works, which supplies the US Navy with a large portion of its fleets, however, in Bath’s early days it built large, wooden yachts and schooners mostly for trade, not war. The next few pages will explore Bath’s …

“Don't Call Me A Student-Athlete”: The Effect Of Identity Priming On Stereotype Threat For Academically Engaged African American College Athletes, Keith Harrison

Dr. C. Keith Harrison

Academically engaged African American college athletes are most susceptible to stereotype threat in the classroom when the context links their unique status as both scholar and athlete. After completing a measure of academic engagement, African American and White college athletes completed a test of verbal reasoning. To vary stereotype threat, they first indicated their status as a scholar-athlete, an athlete, or as a research participant on the cover page. Compared to the other groups, academically engaged African American college athletes performed poorly on the difficult test items when primed for their athletic identity, but they performed worse on both the …

The Role Of The Law In The Availability Of Public Transit And Affordable Housing In Atlanta’S West End, Elliott Lipinsky

ELLIOTT LIPINSKY

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Transportation that administers federal funds and provides technical assistance for the support of locally operated public transit systems. MARTA / Atlanta metro area are part of FTA Region IV (the Southeast). FTA would be involved, for instance, in financing the federal grant monies discussed above. But actual regulation of operations (i.e., what MARTA does each day, or what MARTA will plan to do regionally) is more closely regulated by Georgia agencies.

Until recently, the Atlanta metropolitan area had no powerful central agency to coordinate regional transit. The …

"Spectacular Opacities": The Hyers Sisters' Performances Of Respectability And Resistance, Jocelyn Buckner

Theatre Faculty Articles and Research

This essay analyzes the Hyers Sisters, a Reconstruction-era African American sister act, and their radical efforts to transcend social limits of gender, class, and race in their early concert careers and three major productions, Out of Bondage and Peculiar Sam, or The Underground Railroad, two slavery-to-freedom epics, and Urlina, the African Princess, the first known African American play set in Africa. At a time when serious, realistic roles and romantic plotlines featuring black actors were nearly nonexistent due to the country’s appetite for stereotypical caricatures, the Hyers Sisters used gender passing to perform opposite one another as heterosexual lovers in …

Regulations Concerning Immigration And Citizenship, C. V. Eberlin

The Bridge

Americans, both the native born and the immigrants, are proud of their country. It is their firm belief that there isn’t a country in the world where the working class is so well off and has such a good lifestyle as over here, that America has far less illness and fewer cripples than most other countries, that America, morally, is far above any other country, and that no other country can show the same degree of freedom, equality, and brotherhood than the United States of America.

Dansk Sammensluttet Ungdom—D. S. U. The Association Of Danish Youth, Erik Appel

The Bridge

This year, it has been exactly 10 years since the Association of Danish Youth clubs was initiated within the Danish Church. There most likely were Danish youth groups before 1902, but they had little or no connection with each other. They were missing the spur that unity can give and the strength to be found in solidarity.

The Danish Sisterhood In America, L. M. Hofenblad

The Bridge

The Danish Sisterhood in America is ca. 2 years younger than its big brother, The Danish Brotherhood, as the first lodge, namely “The Christine Lodge” No. 1 in Negaunee, Mich. was organized on the 15th of December, 1883 by Mrs. Christine Hemmingsen, whose husband was a member of the Brotherhood. Consequently, the Sisterhood has now existed for 24 years.

The Danish-American Society (Dansk-Amerikansk Selskab), C .H. W. Hasselriis

The Bridge

The purpose of the Danish-American Society is summarized in concise form in its Constitution: to promote a reciprocal and better understanding of the Danish and the American peoples, to knit closer ties between these two nations, and to advance the interests of both.

The work of solving these tasks is still only in its infancy, so, consequently, this is not a history of the Society.

Independent Associations, Max Henius

The Bridge

In addition to the nationally-connected associations listed in the previous chapters, in some cities and towns where DanishAmericans live in large numbers, there are many scattered associations that have no structured national connection.

The Way Of Life On The Farm, Carl Hansen

The Bridge

When one in “the Old Days,” that is 25 years ago, wanted to give the Danish immigrants advice, one would say, “Go to the Central States,” and that was good advice.
