This article examines the relationship between the performing arts and Amerindian peoples, specifically the Araweté, Juruna/Yudjá and Kamayurá peoples, which belong to the Tupi branch, whom I met as part of postdoctoral research carried out from February 2018 to January 2019, at the University of São Paulo (USP). It analyses the conjuncture of the fight of Amerindian and riparian peoples before the destruction of the forest and rivers of the Amazon, based on case studies of two theatre performances: Altamira 2042, a scenic ritual instauration triggered by listening to the testimony of the Xingu river about the Belo Monte dam, and Os Um e Os Outros (The One and the Others), loosely based on The Horatians and the Curiatians by Bertolt Brecht.

During the last decade the works of Professor Guido Kisch have made an outstanding contribution to our knowledge of the legal thought of the sixteenth century, particularly to the school represented by the University of Basel. His articles and monographs have dealt with the biographical and literary history of significant scholars as well as with the rival schools of interpretation represented by ‘mos italicus' and ‘mos gallicus.' Building on these earlier studies, Professor Kisch has now produced a major work of more comprehensive scope, which goes beyond biographical and methodological questions to the analysis of significant change in substantive legal doctrines. Convinced that the age of humanism and the reception of Roman law saw the formation of some of the most important modern legal concepts, he centers his research on the evolution of the theory of equity with due attention, on the one hand, to the relationship between sixteenth-century innovation and the historic western tradition and, on the other, to the interaction between the academic profession and the practicing lawyers.

The organization’s talent management as an actual trend in modern HR management is actively developed by Russian business. Its introduction into the practice of modern organizations is associated with the solution of many important tasks, including the development and implementation of effective talent management technologies, as well as the training of young workers to work in the talent management system, replacing the traditional personnel management. The article is devoted to the study of the being of demand for talent management among the heads of organizations and personnel management services, on the one hand, as well as the analysis of professional orientation of future employees — graduates of bachelor’s and master’s degree programs of the University, on the other. The novelty of the research consists in an attempt to conduct a comparative analysis of the relationship between the formation of talent management in organizations and readiness to participate in the implementation of this technology of potential labor market participants. The results of the study can be used to assess the prospects for the development of talent management organizations of any form of ownership, type of activity and size and the formation of competencies “talented” staff education system of Russia.

The costumbrista look of Jerónimo López Mozo on the COVID-19 pandemic During 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic affected the entire world. One of the areas that suffered from the situation caused by the virus was culture, and especially the performing arts. To counteract the crisis, various solutions were sought that, on the one hand, would give continuity to theatrical art, and on the other, would maintain the relationship between the artists and the spectators. At the same time, the coronavirus became a subject of literary and theatrical creation, as in the case of five short pieces by Jerónimo López Mozo that have been studied in this article.

This essay is informed by five different but interrelated conversations all focusing on the relationship between the city and the university. Suggesting the clown as metaphor, I explore the particular role of the activist scholar, and in particular the liberation theologian that is based at the public university, in his or her engagement with the city. Considering the shackles of the city of capital and its twin, the neoliberal university, on the one hand, and the city of vulnerability on the other, I then propose three clown-like postures of solidarity, mutuality and prophecy to resist the shackles of culture and to imagine and embody daring alternatives.

We propose to find the model of relationship between Transformational Leadership and university management. The Inventory of Leadership Practices form was used (LPI) and an University Management (UG) scale, which consists of four dimensions: Research , Teaching, Extension and Support , which were applied to managers of 31 universities in Colombia.For method for identifying the relationship model between global indicator university management and dimensions associated with transformational leadership a multiple regression model was developed, furthermore, in order to eliminate subjectivities we utilized the transformation test of ordinal scales in a new scale Type Ridit until reaching the results.Among the main findings, we find that there is a model of direct and positive relationship between the Transformational Leadership and the University Management, and that the Enabling dimension to act in Transformational Leadership is the one which has the greatest impact in the management.

With his report, Mons. Francesco Giovanni Brugnaro, Archbishop of Camerino - San Severino Marche, offers a personal testimony of his experience as a priest, friend and colleague of the Rectoral Prof. Paolo Mantegazza, who he met in the years ‘89-’95 during his chaplain service at the Rectory of Santa Maria Annunciata of the University of Milan. In addition to the affectionate and grateful remembrance towards the exemplary role of rector, father and teacher, he adds some characteristics regarding the relationship that Prof. Mantegazza knew to weave with the university students, careful to consider the person as a whole rather than as a subject impersonal and anonymous. This special attention stemmed from the profound conviction that education is much more than simple teaching. He introduced in his long experience as a teacher the one that transformed his courses into real schools of life: the human and ethical contribution to face the most difficult future challenges in the professional field. For this reason he was also a great mediator for the very talented teachers to keep the relationship between scientific and didactic research high, between the quality of the preparation for the doctorate-specialization and the moral and methodological seriousness of the future professional. In the memory of Mons. Brugnaro, the pain that struck the Mantegazza family for the tragic and premature disappearance of the two beloved sons is preserved. Inspired also by Don Giussani’s charism, together with his wife Andreina, he was able to transform that lacerating pain into an exemplary witness of Christian life founded on the Resurrection of Christ. The common attendance of the Archbishop of Milan from 1979 to 2002, allowed both to live a daily faith, drawn from the prophetic vision of the biblical pastoral of Card. Martini also within the University, stimulating the chair of non-believers.

Rodolfo Stavenhagen’s classic “Seven Erroneous Theses about Latin America” seems not only to have endured but to have gained explanatory power in relation to a variety of topics in Brazil today: the relationship between the middle class (and the elite) and the Southeastern states in the last election, the government’s options vis-à-vis major projects such as Belo Monte, the Workers’ Party advocates’ rhetoric in defense of the growth of the middle class, the disputes over the rights of indigenous peoples, and even the discourse of social movement leaders, co-opted by the Lula administration. Although the fourth thesis appears to have lost its strength, it still substantiates one of the key arguments in the text—that internal colonialism is critical for understanding Latin America. O clássico “Sete teses equivocadas sobre a América Latina,” de Rodolfo Stavenhagen, parece não somente ter resistido ao tempo, mas ter ganho capacidade explicativa em relação a uma variedade de tópicos no Brasil contemporâneo: o relacionamento entre a classe media (e a elite) e os estados do Sudeste na última eleição, as opções do governo vis-à-vis grandes projetos como Belo Monte, a retórica dos defensores do Partido dos Trabalhadores em defesa da ampliação da classe média, as disputas sobre os direitos dos povos indígenas, e até mesmo o discurso de líderes de movimentos sociais, estes últimos sob o controle do governo Lula. Mesmo que a quarta tese pareca ter perdido força, ela ainda corrobora um dos principais argumentos do texto: o colonialismo interno é fundamental para que se entenda a América Latina.

Introduction. The individualization of the education process is today one of the priority directions of the transformation of the higher education system, which involves the creation of conditions for the implementation of the educational opportunities of students, their academic mobility, the design of an individual educational trajectory, i.e. on the one hand, it serves as a tool for fulfilling the state order in the formation of a competitive specialist, and on the other hand, it allows you to maximally orient education to the personality of the student.Materials and Methods. The article considers domestic and foreign research materials aimed at organizing and implementing the individualization of the learning process. The work uses methods of analysis of scientific literature, questionnaires, analysis, generalization and systematization of data.Results. The authors identified and described the main trends in the development of individualization of the educational process, the relationship between the concepts of "individual educational route" and "individual educational trajectory". A comparative analysis of the results of a questionnaire survey of teachers and students on the problem of individualization of education is carried out, and the main models of individualization of the educational process are highlighted.Discussion and Conclusions. As challenges for the individualization of the educational process of higher pedagogical education, the authors see the bridging of the "digital divide" arising from the inequality in access to digital tools between the subjects of the educational space of the university, as well as regions and countries; updating the goals and content of education, as well as forms, methods and technologies of organizing the educational process; changing approaches and tools to assessing the competencies and educational results of students in the course of mastering an individual educational route; changing the roles of the subjects of the educational process.

This article explores the relationship between indigenous rights, international standards, and development in Latin America with a specific focus on ILO Convention 169 on the rights of indigenous and tribal peoples and its application in the region. Whereas, on the one hand, democratic change, constitutional reforms and the recognition of indigenous peoples signal the emergence of a new rights era, on the other hand, deep-running inequalities, persistent poverty and development conflicts reveal structural tensions and the ambiguities of recognition. While such ambiguity is often explained as a consequence of poor implementation and compromised rights standards, this article analyses trends in both orthodox and heterodox polities as well as in the international arena in order to draw further attention to how rights regimes are being renegotiated. Rights under this ‘new jungle law’ are no longer characterised by neglect and poor implementation, but through reappropriation, strategic attention and regulatory negotiations, revealing a sliding scale of potentialities between empowerment and normalisation.

The title of Benjamin Lloyd's article reflects the apparent dissociation between, on the one hand, a spiritual religion distinguished by its lack of dogmatism and by non-liturgical forms of worship and, on the other, a mode of entertainment long divorced from the ritual religious forms in which it may well have had its roots, yet which continues to depend on preserving authenticity despite the rote of repeated performance. The author suggests that a communal seeking after inward enlightenment occurs no less in the approach of some of the most influential of modern theatre teachers – notably Stanislavsky and Grotowski – than at a meeting of the Society of Friends; and that the nature of Quaker worship may not, after all, be far removed from a striving for theatrical truth. In the series of ‘meetings together’ here described and analyzed, Benjamin Lloyd brought together friends and practitioners to investigate the nature and possible value of the relationship. The author has acted and directed in New York, Edinburgh, and Prague, and taught at Villanova and Princeton Universities. He presently teaches acting at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and his book, The Actor's Way: a Journey of Self-Discovery in Letters, was published by Allworth Press in 2006. He is a member of Haverford Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends.
