Research Institute

The Getty Research Institute (GRI) is one of four programs of the J. Paul Getty Trust, an international cultural and philanthropic institution devoted to the visual arts, all of which reside at the Getty Center situated high on a beautiful hilltop in Brentwood, California. (The other programs of the Getty Trust are the J. Paul Getty Museum, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the Getty Grant Program.) From the beginning it was understood that the GRI would develop a research program in the discipline of art history and more generally the humanities, and that a library would support its work. Since its founding the GRI has, in fact, developed a major library as one of its programs alongside those for scholars, publications, exhibitions and a multitude of lectures, workshops and symposia for scholars, students and the general public. What is now known as the Research Library at the GRI has grown to be a significant resource and this article focuses on its history, the building that houses it, its collections and databases, and access to them all.

Em Depois do futuro, Franco Berardi propõe que vivemos uma verdadeira mutação antropológica na infraestrutura social, que afeta tanto o psiquismo individual quanto o coletivo. Segundo ele, nossa incapacidade de absorver o excesso de informações que recebemos do ciberespaço faz do presente um tempo tão denso que o cérebro encontra dificuldades de se projetar para fora do momento presente, desembocando no que Berardi chama de o século sem futuro. Este ensaio propõe pensar essas questões trazidas por Berardi a partir de alguns conceitos de Walter Benjamin – em especial os de história, experiência e progresso – e encontrar brechas, através de uma noção de montagem como gesto inerente ao pensamento, para articular com os espectros do passado, que rondam o século XXI, presentes que permanecem em estado de latência.

The Real

David McNally styles this book as beginning in a polemic and ending in a “materialist approach to language” much indebted to the German critic Walter Benjamin. The charge is that “postmodernist theory, whether it calls itself poststructuralism, deconstruction or post-Marxism, is constituted by a radical attempt to banish the real human body—the sensate, biocultural, laboring body—from the sphere of language and social life” (p. 1). By treating language as an abstraction, McNally argues, postmodernism constitutes a form of idealism. More than that, it succumbs to and perpetuates the fetishism of commodities disclosed by Marx insofar as it treats the products of human laboring bodies as entities independently of them. Clearly irritated by the claims to radicalism made by those he labels postmodern, McNally thinks he has found their Achilles' heel: “The extra-discursive body, the body that exceeds language and discourse, is the ‘other’ of the new idealism, the entity it seeks to efface in order to bestow absolute sovereignty on language. To acknowledge the centrality of the sensate body to language and society is thus to threaten the whole edifice of postmodernist theory” (p. 2).

Indecisão plena de promessas: imagens da vida e da infância na filosofia de Henri Bergson Resumo: Numa passagem da obra Évolution Créatrice, Bergson recupera a imagem da criança para afirmar que a natureza viva opera através de tendências divergentes. Apesar de não ter desenvolvido um pensamento de pendor educacional, encontram-se na obra bergsoniana referências que, por um lado, recuperam a dimensão criativa e criadora da infância e, por outro, acentuam a forma infantil dos movimentos do élan vital. Estas referências fazem parte da imagética do autor, mostrando como o seu pensamento sugestiona leituras ímpares. O convite para cruzar a imagem da vida como infância com a imagem da infância como vida revela-se, assim, sugestivo para repensar o que nos habita como constitutivamente outro: a criança que fomos e a natureza que somos. E será através da imagem – como forma de contacto dinâmico com o real – que poderemos encontrar algumas respostas para a sugestão bergsoniana de se promover nas escolas um conhecimento infantil (enfantin).Palavras-chave: infância; criança; natureza; imagem; Bergson. Indecision charged with promise: Images of life and childhood in Henri Bergson’s philosophy Abstract: In a passage in his Évolution Créatrice, Bergson reclaims the image of the child to argue that living nature works through divergent tendencies. Although Bergson’s work doesn’t focus specifically on education, it does contain references that, on the one hand, reclaim the creative and creating nature of childhood, while on the other hand accentuating the childlike nature of élan vital’s movements (vital impetus). These references are part of Bergson’s repertoire of imagery and demonstrate how his thought evokes uneven readings. The invitation to cross the image of life as childhood with that of childhood as life ultimately evokes a rethinking of what inhabits us as constitutively other: the child we were and the nature we are. And it is through the notion of image – as a form of dynamic contact with reality – that we will find some answers for Bergson’s suggestion that schools promote a childlike knowledge (enfantin).Key-words: childhood; child; nature; image; Bergson.  Indecisión cargada de promesas: Imagénes de la vida y de la infancia en la filosofía de Henri Bergson Resumen: En un pasaje sobre la obra Évolution Créatrice, Bergson recupera la imagen del niño para afirmar que la naturaleza viva opera a través de tendencias divergentes.

Meus estudos de doutorado desenvolvidos nos anos 1990 me levaram a concluir/constatar que o modelo urbano e arquitetônico modernista se revelou falacioso, mesmo que tendo se constituído como modelo cristalizado no Brasil (Autor, 2001). Falacioso tanto no sentido de que uma das máximas da arquitetura modernista "a forma segue a função" produziu campus e cidades universitárias povoadas de edifícios-ícones muitas vezes com graves deficiências de utilização (como questões sonoras e ambientais do Instituto Central de Ciências (ICC) da Universidade de Brasília (UnB), projetado por Oscar Niemeyer, entre outros exemplos), assim como a preconização de se ter o espaço universitário como um dos setores conformadores da planejada cidade moderna (conforme preceituada pela Carta de Atenas, de 1933) promoveu, em muitos casos, uma ruptura desastrosa e elitizada entre cidade e universidade. Em complemento a isso, os ideários do planejamento estratégico contemporâneo da virada do século XX para o XXI, ao invés de se afastar de soluções que já vinham se mostrando desagregadoras, vão na direção de acirrar determinadas características setorizantes e excludentes (mesmo que travestidas de inclusivas e diversificadas) que privilegiam as relações econômicas em detrimento das relações socais, produzindo espaços de forte atratividade turística e de investimentos de capitais internacionais globais, mas que não potencializam relações de sociabilidade e de apropriação espacial mais efetiva. Pode-se observar tais resultados tanto nos estudos que desenvolvi sobre as soluções urbanas implementadas na cidade de Niterói/RJ, a partir de projetos arquitetônicos de Oscar Niemeyer (Autor, 2015a; 2015b), assim como diversos estudos sobre regeneração de áreas portuárias pelo mundo afora, como no caso da região do Porto Maravilha (Rio de Janeiro/RJ) que apontam o mesmo tipo de solução: espaços de forte atratividade turística e de consumo estruturados a partir de soluções arquitetônicas emblemáticas "assinadas" pelos mais reconhecidos arquitetos internacionais. Se o campus moderno/modernista se mostrou um modelo falacioso uniforme/uniformizador, o modelo urbano atual se mostra regido por lógica similar. Este texto busca reforçar a necessidade de soluções urbanas capazes de se contrapor a esta lógica, se configurando como alternativas que possam justificar a expressão de Walter Benjamin ao propor "varrer a história a contrapêlo". Busca-se refletir sobre a produção do espaço e as práticas socioculturais resultantes e vislumbrar/flagrar formas de produção de espaço que tragam reforço à sociabilidade.

Narrative Element

This research is an attempt to try to define the semiotic elements of film costumes that result with certain final feelings of the viewer. Looking through the semiotic theory of both Roland Barthes and Walter Benjamin and the specifics of (theatre and) film costume as a means of influencing the viewer and his/her thoughts, feelings and overall catharsis, the identity of a certain film has been set through an analysis of various elements. Furthermore, it has been noticed that psychological results by one observing a film can be various and lean more on known philosophical and psychological tendencies i.e. Freud’s theories or the ones of M. Merleau-Ponty or Lacan. To make it less verbatim, the example for the analysis that has been chosen is the 1982 science fiction film Bladerunner directed by Ridley Scott. With surreal messages and multi-layered meanings of its visual and audio presentation, it seemed like a perfect starting point for the research of the subconscious mind of the viewer. Finding a non-invasive approach to viewer’s impression, the costume itself could be observed both independently and in correlation with other film elements. By combining the results of all film levels via a visual psychological test by Robert Plutchik, known as Plutchik’s wheel of emotions, it is plain to see that a final impression still lies in a personal analysis. We find a prevalence of certain thoughts that lead the viewer to change his/her perception and, ultimately, to catharsis.

ResumoO presente artigo busca analisar, a partir do conceito de ruína em Walter Benjamin, a relação entre a finitude de uma casa e sua transposição em valores humanos pela perda do sentido de proteção e resistência de quem por ela é acolhido. Para além de convenções sociais, interessa-nos analisar os estreitos vínculos entre abrigo e abrigado e o quanto o processo de ruína de um, implica em movimentos de superação do outro. Em que medida a concretude de salas e corredores, que numa relação simbiótica definem condutas dos corpos que ali se abrigaram, são capazes de operar por ocasião de sua falência, paradoxalmente, enquanto potência de libertação.AbstractBased on the concept of ruin formulated by Water Benjamin, this article analyses relations between the finitude of a house and its transposition into human values by the loss of protection and resistance of those who are sheltered. Beyond social conventions, the article analyses connections between shelter and sheltered and how much the process of ruin implies overcome attitudes of the other. How does the concreteness of rooms and corridors that, in a symbiotic relationship, defines bodily behaviors, manage to operate at the time of its bankruptcy, paradoxically, as a liberating power for the sheltered being?

Abstract In Katherine Mansfield’s short story ‘Life of Ma Parker’, the old, widowed charwoman is plagued by ‘unbearable’ thoughts of her deceased grandson Lennie: ‘Why did he have to suffer so?’ Lennie’s unfortunate death in the story is not a solitary instance of tragic portrayal of working-class childhood in Mansfield’s short fiction. In several of her tales she empathetically explores the marginalized existence of such children, occasionally juxtaposing their deplorable existence with their elite counterparts’. From social exclusion, child labour, parental rejection, infant and child mortality on the one hand to physical and verbal abuse, bullying in the school and appalling living conditions on the other; Mansfield's exploration of the working-class childhood in her short fiction is not only psychologically complex but sociologically significant. Focusing on the relevant short stories in her oeuvre, this brief analysis intends to closely examine such depictions of marginalized childhood experiences, particularly in light of the oppressive societal conditions that validate their repressive alienation and sufferings. Tracing various biographical circumstances that may have fostered Mansfield’s deep empathy with the children’s’ predicament, this analysis also draws attention to her subtle oblique narrative strategies that effectively represent the plight of working-class children in a convincing and an ingeniously nuanced manner.
