Volume 5 concerns Winnicott’s writing at the height of his career, between 1955-1959, in which his thinking and his personal and professional life are put into a broad historical context, from Winnicott’s medical education and discovery of Freud to his double career in paediatrics and psychoanalysis. The introduction to this volume covers this period of great social and political change, including discussion of papers and letters relating to the conflicts within the British psychoanalytic world, in particular with Melanie Klein (whose monograph Envy and Gratitude was published in this period), as well as John Bowlby and Anna Freud. A range of papers, reflecting the wide scope of his audiences during this period, are discussed, including ‘The Anti-Social Tendency’, ‘Primary Maternal Preoccupation’, ‘The Capacity to be Alone’, and the book publication of ‘Transitional Objects and Transitional Phenomena’.

In giving a brief account of salient events in my professional life I will start in 1937 when I was aged 30 and had just completed my formal training as a child psychiatrist and psychoanalyst. Apart from a medical background and an interest in psychology, my choice of career had been determined by what I had seen and heard during the six months that I had spent in a school for disturbed children between my preclinical training at Cambridge, where I had also read natural sciences and psychology, and completing my medical qualification at University College Hospital. During my time at the school I had worked with children and adolescents whose difficulties I know now to be typical of much personality disorder, and had been exposed to hypotheses, derived from the ‘new psychology’ emanating from Vienna, regarding the role of childhood experience in their origin. Accordingly I had decided to train as a psychoanalyst. This I began before qualifying medically and continued whilst spending eighteen months at the Maudsley, learning the psychiatry of adults as one of Aubrey Lewis's early students. This proved a productive relationship, not least because on many questions we agreed to differ.

A gestão organizacional de uma instituição escolar é o eixo de articulação responsável pelo desencadeamento de toda a estrutura organizacional da escola. A maneira com que ela se caracteriza identifica. Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo apresentar uma visão mais integrada sobre cultura, estrutura e organização escolar. Com isso, perceberam-se as grandes atribuições e mudanças que agregam à gestão pensando a partir desse perfil e do seu contexto social. Os referenciais teóricos tiveram uma grande abrangência no tocante da gestão como um todo, as concepções que emergiram e continuam emergindo dentro do contexto histórico, o confronto entre os diferentes perfis e as pessoas envolvidas na escola e com a cultura escolar, sendo que o alvo dessa gestão, é flexibilidade, exercício da autonomia, inovações, o compartilhar, a participação e adesão ao trabalho coletivo, considerando essa variáveis dentre outros como molas que sustentam  e garantem o exercício da gestão democrática. Com isso chega-se a conclusão de que a gestão participativa tem uma grande responsabilidade em ser um diferencial na educação, por ser caracterizar uma escola em contínua transformação, onde as mudanças são processuais, decorrente de várias competências que caracterizam a gestão. Não podendo esquecer que paralelo a essa gestão, se faz também presente as diversas tendências e estudos relacionados à gestão, caracterizados pela cultura escolar e pela diversidade de conhecimento, valores, crença e experiências.Palavra-chave: Cultura.

Gestão.ABSTRACTThe organizational management of an academic institution is the articulation axis responsible for the development of every school organizational structure. The way that it is characterized identifies the school. This research has the objective to introduce a more integrated vision about culture, structure and school organization. Thus, it is perceptible the great attributions and changes that add to the management thinking about it from that profile and its social context. The theoretical framework had a wide scope in terms of the management as a whole, the conceptions that emerged and continue to emerge within the historical context, the confrontation between the different profiles and the people involved in school and with the school culture, since the target of this management, is flexibility, exercise of independence, innovations, the sharing, the participation and the adhesion to the aggregate work, considering these variables among others as springs that sustain and assure the exercise of the democratic management. Therefore, it comes to conclusion that a management with communication has a great responsibility of being a differential in education, for its characterization as a school with continuing transformation, where the changes are procedural, due to various   competences that describe the management. Without forgetting that along with this management, there is also the presence of several tendencies and studies related to the management, characterized by the school culture and the diversity of knowledge, values, beliefs and experiencesKeywords: Culture.

Transnationalisation of economies, organisations and societies have fundamentally reconfigured professional life. Dispersal of authority and activity away from national confines has spawned new transnational modes of organisation and competition amongst professionals. Studies of transnational professional competition explore how professionals broker normative, institutional and political change through these struggles in spaces ‘beyond the state’. This paper reviews existing work on transnational professional competition, focusing on two dominant streams: studies associated with Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory and studies associated with Andrew Abbott’s ecological theory. It discusses the key theoretical dynamics and empirical focus of each stream. Furthermore, the paper reviews the ongoing debate between the two streams, drawing out proposals for mutual learning at the intersection of field and ecology studies. It is argued that such a closer exchange has potential to address points of contention and exploit points of convergence, enhancing understanding of specifically transnational professional relations, institutional change, social contexts and social structures.

<p>The relationship between language and identity is widely discussed in applied linguistics, sociology, communications and other related scholarly fields. Furthermore, many researchers have focused on the post-Soviet region, which given its unique historical context allows for testing of this relationship. The widespread bilingualism as a result of historical russification and the linguistic transformations that occurred after the collapse of the Soviet Union make the region a ‘sociolinguistic playground’. Recent events in Ukraine have given grounds to further explore this relationship, now in attempt to link language and identity as potential forces for geopolitical change in the region. This paper presents an overview of existing research, theories, and opposing perspectives related to the relationship between language and identity, and considers complications such as historical russification, religious influence, socioeconomic factors, and education with regards to the Ukrainian and post-Soviet context.  I aim to illustrate the significance of language and its effects on socio-political change in the case of Ukraine, by presenting arguments and complications in support of the relationship between language and identity.</p>

Can Spinoza’s politics allow for a coherent theory of rebellion? The final chapter addresses this difficult but fundamental question for instigating political change, like the kind suggested in the Tractatus Politicus. On the face of it, no, though some intractable difficulties in the text are contrasted against the historical context. The chapter explores one opportunity raised by Matheron through ‘indignation’, then turns to the imitative affect of emulation as a powerful political affect for collective power and political transformation. The discussion of an ethics of care and solidarity then utilises the Cadenza’s politics of commonality, exploring how movements can organise around a powerful signifier, e.g. the People, at the centre of current debates around populism, while avoiding the foundation of a community being on a sad (and inherently disempowering) affect like fear or hatred for others. Through drawing on a range of contemporary political theorists like Rancière, Laclau and Mouffe and others, it concludes with an argument for making as many as capable as they can to think for themselves, recognise their common good, and organise together in effective political movements that can realise this, politically. A freedom for one and all.

The podiatric medical profession has evolved substantially in the past 80 years. This evolution includes major changes in scope, in the requirements necessary to enter a podiatric medical school, and in the curriculum that must be completed to earn the degree of Doctor of Podiatric Medicine. Entrance requirements to the schools are now identical to the prerequisites for admission to MD and DO institutions, and licensure requires the completion of graduate medical education. Much of the curriculum also is the same as it is in MD and DO schools. In the past decade, discussion focusing on the ability of the DPM to acquire the MD or DO degree has intensified. An analysis is provided using a historical context regarding this potential initiative. (J Am Podiatr Med Assoc 102(2): 172–176, 2012)

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine and comment on disability rights legislation by focusing on international documents on people with impairments of the last decades, in order to provide more information on the dynamics of the disability rights movement and their moral plea for full inclusion. Design/methodology/approach By analyzing the international legislation and most important guidelines with respect to people with impairments, it is possible to portray a socio-political change by unfolding the agenda of the historical dimension of the decisive events. Findings The long and difficult struggle of people with impairments to beneficiaries of full human rights protection is a fundamental socio-political change that is documented by adhering to important international legislation and guidelines. Originality/value The examination of recent international legislation with respect to people with impairments provides historical context for current developments in the context of disability and full inclusion by conceding human rights as their moral and legal foundation.

Suffrage graphics constitute one of the first collective, ideological, artistic expressions by American women. Premised on the popular view of woman's nature as virtuous, responsible, and nurturant, this art nonetheless challenged traditional practices and demanded political change. Interrelationships between feminism, art, and the historical context are explored in this analysis of women's imagery.
