Ideologia E Utopias Nas Mais Recentes Constituintes Brasileira E Portuguesa: Algumas Linhas De Leitura, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

Based upon a political compromise, in which « democratic socialists » and « social democrats » were the main protagonists, the ideology of Portuguese Constitution of 1976 was discrete, subtle. And ulterior constitutional revisions confirmed that fondamental aspect. Of course, utopia was present. But, even more present was the « hope principle ». We believe that the Brazilean constituent assembly, with the original importance of popular contributions, also had hope principle’s decisive influence. But the dinamics of the constituent assembly moderated, since the very beggining, the verbal signs of less discret ideologies. Utopia, neverthless, is very present in the aim …

O Que É Uma Universidade?, Paulo Ferreira Da Cunha

Paulo Ferreira da Cunha

Pouca gente sabe hoje o que é uma Universidade, a sério. Confunde-se muito Universidade e super-mercado de aulas, ou fábrica de « investigação » ou « pesquisa », assim como se confunde serviço público com negócio, vocação com interesse pessoal, etc. É a própria essência da Universidade que está em causa. A confusão é grande no público, que vê a Universidade sobretudo como uma forma de promoção social, pelos diplomas. A confusão não é menor na própria Universidade. Os universitários mais responsáveis interrogam-se sobre a sua função, o sentido do trabalho que fizeram e fazem, e a sua sorte na …

Digitising The Wireless: Observations From An Experiment In ‘Internet Radio’, Rebecca Coyle

Dr Rebecca Coyle

Terms such as 'internet radio', 'internet Broadcasting' and 'Web Radio' or 'webcasting' crop up relatively frequently in media articles and academic analyses of the changing face of global media. Yet, while the terms are often used interchangeably and there does not seem to be a set of formal definitions which distinguish one from another, there are major differences between the sorts of services described by these labels. Furthermore the services, now often generically termed 'netcasting', offer significant challenges for traditional radio broadcasting principles and practices. This article discusses issues and concepts concerning net- or webcasting via a limited experiment in …

Compare And Contrast: Rhetorical Strategies In Edmond De Goncourt's Japonsime, Pamela Warner

Pamela J. Warner

Studies of Japonisme have usually assumed a simple relationship of difference between Japanese and French art and culture, but Edmond de Goncourt's writing is remarkable for the number of comparisons he makes between France and Japan. This essay considers the influence of positivism on Goncourt’s assertions, looking also at how Goncourt's Japonisme extended arguments he made in the 1860s against French academic art.

"On September 26th, 1997, a violent earthquake shook central Italy. The effects were devastating. Television stations from all over the world broadcasted images of the incomparable artistic heritage that risked being destroyed forever. In Monsanpolo del Tronto, a small town in the Marches, the earthquake damaged the beautiful church Maria Santissima Assunta. A few years later, during the restoration of the church, a sensational discovery was made: twenty perfectly preserved mummies from the middle of the sixteenth century wearing their original clothes. …

From Stoves To Juice Squeezers: Technology In The Modern Home, 1869-1999, Lauren Gallow

Lauren L. Gallow

“The factory and the household have only one factor in common, but a crucial one. Both must improve organization and curtail waste labor.” So Siegfried Giedion opens the chapter ‘Mechanization Encounters the Household’ in his 1948 seminal text, Mechanization Takes Command. Likening the household to the factory in its ever-present quest for organization and labor efficiency, Giedion places technological advancements at the center of this domestic mechanization, a progression that he identifies as beginning in the 1860s. Technology has played a central role in how writers from the late nineteenth century onwards have envisioned the home. Beginning with Catharine Beecher …
