Resumo – No Chile, o Serviço Social, no período da Reconceituação, apresentou fortes mudanças nos seus fundamentos teórico-metodológicos e ético-políticos, mudanças que estavam sintonizadas com o cenário político de alta efervescência da luta de classes. Na virada da década de 1960 à década de 1970, as forças organizativas da classe trabalhadora – partidos e movimentos sociais de esquerda – levaram o Chile a ser o primeiro país no mundo em que uma coalizão com um programa de construção do socialismo conquistou o governo pela via eleitoral. Neste cenário, o Serviço Social chileno estabeleceu relações e posicionamentos, produzindo uma rica reflexão de docentes, discentes e profissionais em relação à formação profissional e às ações interventivas. Neste artigo, explicitaremos reflexões iniciais da conjuntura chilena do governo da Unidade Popular (UP) e as relações do Serviço Social com as organizações e movimentos sociais, as quais serão evidenciadas pela análise dos Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso (TCCs)[1] e dos artigos da Revista de Trabajo Social da PUC. Palavras-Chave: Unidade Popular; Serviço Social; Reconceituação; lutas sociais; Chile.  Abstract–Social work in Chile during the Reconceptualization period presented deep changes, in a context of high social effervescence. At the turn of the 1960s to the 1970s, the consolidation of the working class and left-wing parties led Chile to become the first country in the world to conquerthe government by electoral means, with a program building towards socialism. In a context of intensification of social struggles, Chilean social work established relationships and stances, producing a rich reflection of teachers, students, and professionals in relation to professional training and intervention. This article is the first delivery of results of an ongoing research that reviews the relationship of Social Service with social movements and struggles based on the analysis of final papers for graduation and articles fromRevista de Trabajo Social, from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Keywords: popular unity; Social Service;reconceptualization;social struggles; Chile.

This article addresses the relationship of social work with the movements and processes of popular organisation in Chile and Argentina in the context of the Latin American Reconceptualisation movement in the 1960s and 1970s. We will analyse the current context of the class struggle in these countries and the relationship that was established between social work and the social organisations and movements of the subaltern classes. Our hypothesis is that the relationship between the profession and the struggles developed by the subaltern classes, in their peculiarities in Chile and Argentina, was the central mediation for social work to question its social function in the reproduction of social relations and, as a result, erode its traditionalist and conservative bases.

Takis Zenetos was enthusiastic about the idea of working from home, and believed that both architecture and urban planning should be reshaped in order to respond to this. He supported the design of special public spaces in residential units, aiming to accommodate the inhabitants during working hours. This article argues that Zenetos’s design for “Electronic Urbanism” was more prophetic, and more pragmatic, than his peers such as Archigram and Constant Nieuwenhuys. Despite the fact that they shared an optimism towards technological developments and megastructure, a main difference between Zenetos’s view and the perspectives of his peers is his rejection of a generalised enthusiasm concerning increasing mobility of people. In opposition with Archigram, Zenetos insisted in minimizing citizens’ mobility and supported the replacement of daily transport with the use advanced information technologies, using terms such as “tele-activity”. Zenetos was convinced that “Electronic Urbanism” would help citizens save the time that they normally used to commute to work, and would allow them to spend this time on more creative activities, at or near their homes. The main interest of “Electronic Urbanism” lies in the fact that it not only constitutes an artistic contribution to experimental architecture, but is also characterized by a new social vision, promising to resynchronize practices of daily life. An aspect that is also examined is the relationship of Zenetos’s ideas and those of the so-called Metabolists in the 1960s in Japan, including Kenzo Tange’s conception of megastructures. Zenetos’s thought is very topical considering the ongoing debates about the advanced information society, especially regarding the social concerns of surveillance, governance, and sovereignty within the context of Big Data. His conception of “tele-activities” provides a fertile terrain for reflecting on potential implications and insights concerning home-office conditions not only within the context of the current pandemic situation but beyond it as well.

The Relationship

Since the 1960s, Australian scientists have speculated on the impact of human arrival on fire regimes in Australia, and on the relationship of landscape fire to extinction of the Pleistocene megafauna of Australia. These speculations have produced a series of contrasting hypotheses that can now be tested using evidence collected over the past two decades. In the present paper, I summarise those hypotheses and review that evidence. The main conclusions of this are that (1) the effects of people on fire regimes in the Pleistocene were modest at the continental scale, and difficult to distinguish from climatic controls on fire, (2) the arrival of people triggered extinction of Australia’s megafauna, but fire had little or no role in the extinction of those animals, which was probably due primarily to hunting and (3) megafaunal extinction is likely to have caused a cascade of changes that included increased fire, but only in some environments. We do not yet understand what environmental factors controlled the strength and nature of cascading effects of megafaunal extinction. This is an important topic for future research.

The introductionexplains how and why student protest became common in the United States in the late 1960s and places these protests in the context of shifts in the history of education and in broader social movements, including the civil rights movement, the Chicano Movement, and black power activism. The introduction also situates students’ rights within the context of children’s rights more broadly, explaining the legal principles that justified age discrimination and excluded children and students from the basic protections of American constitutional law. The introduction identifies the two decades between the 1960s and 1980s as a constitutional moment that revolutionized the relationship of students to the state. It also connects students’ rights litigation to the issue of school desegregation and the legacy of Brown v. Board of Education.

Following the revolution in 1956, Hungary’s agrarian policy went through changes and reforms unprecedented within the socialist block. The most important reform was the abolition of the system of compulsory delivery. This article aims to outline how the political change affected agrarian economics and also highlights the significant role played by some scholars, with their latent presence and their policy suggestions, which the Kádár Government had the courage to support in November 1956. With the emergence of the so-called Agrarian Lobby, of the intertwining networks of politicians, administrators, and scientists of the agrarian sector, the personal and intellectual preconditions had already been in place before 1956. Institutionalization, however, could only come about after the partial rehabilitation of market economy. The post-1956 political leadership could only meet the challenge of re-defining the relationship of the state and the agricultural cooperatives with the contribution of professionals. At the same time, the shape and nature of Kádár era agrarian economic research were also affected by the alliance between the practitioners of the field and the emerging network of agro-politicians and administrators, the Agrarian Lobby. Two key figures, Ferenc Erdei and Lajos Fehér, shared the responsibility for the better performance of agriculture. This paper also pays attention to the way their cooperation on this reform policy-oriented research was realized and the key role it played in the Hungarian agricultural cooperatives’ emancipation from the bonds of the kolkhoz model in the 1960s.

The content of the categories “self-education”, “self-educational competence” is analysed. The need for the development of self-educational competence of future specialists in the process of studying professional subjects is actualized. The pedagogical conditions for the formation of self-educational competence of future specialists in the study of professional subjects are determined. Such factors include: motivational and value attitude of future specialists to independent learning and cognitive activities in the process of professional training; ensuring the relationship of all areas of professional training of future specialists (theoretical, methodological, practical), which involves the formation of self-educational competence; development and implementation of educational and methodological support for the development of self-educational competence of students; the use of interactive technologies in teaching professional subjects to build educational dialogue. An experimental verification of the effectiveness of implementation of certain pedagogical conditions. For this purpose, a pedagogical experiment was organized. The conclusion that students of control and experimental groups have significant differences due not to random factors, but to a certain natural reason - conducting research and experimental work on the implementation of pedagogical conditions for the development of self-educational competence of future specialists in the study of professional subjects. Statistical analysis of indicators of transition of students to a higher level of self-educational competence shows that the process of formation of self-educational competence in students of the experimental group is more effective than in students of the control one.

This reassessment of Kelly’s analysis of the relationship of activist leadership to collective action within the overall jigsaw of mobilisation theory draws on social movement literature, studies by industrial relations scholars utilising aspects of Kelly’s approach – including this author’s own work – and related research on union leadership within collective mobilisation. In the process, it identifies and celebrates how Kelly’s work, whilst contributing a distinct and substantive actor-related approach, recognised that leadership is one ingredient amongst other factors, including important structural opportunities and constraints. It considers three potential ambiguities/tensions within Kelly’s conceptualisation of leadership related to the social construction of workers’ interests, spontaneity of workers’ action and the ‘leader/follower’ interplay. The review also identifies two important limitations, related to the union member/bureaucracy dynamic and the role of left-wing political leadership, and concludes by signalling different forms of leadership relationships on which further refinement and development would be fruitful.

This paper explores the contradictory discourses on manners, safety and emotion that arose with mass motorization in Japan in the 1960s and which continue through the present. It documents the way in which multiple government entities end up working at cross-purposes in their attempts to cultivate safer drivers and slow the epidemic of traffic accidents. On the one hand, the discourse on driving manners suggests a widespread embrace of the Traffic Bureau's and other government agencies' concern with safety. On the other hand, the emphasis on manners may lead to angrier driving, which promotes accidents according to psychological studies of driving. The picture that emerges is one in which attempts at social control are complicated by the often unpredictable emotional reactions of subjects caught in a web of institutional and ideological processes. By exploring the relationship of emotion to driving school curricula and the discourse on manners, this article extends previous studies of self, social control, and social management in Japan.
