RESUMO A imagem de laboratório cidadão tem sido utilizada para descrever um campo vasto de iniciativas que de fato compartilham características organizacionais, de repertório, aspirações e metodologias. As mesmas iniciativas também guardam entre si, entretanto, uma considerável diversidade, como resultado de diferentes processos de formação e consolidação. Neste texto, retrato um histórico relativamente recente - de mais de uma década - de projetos brasileiros que atuam em campos costumeiramente associados ao cenário que hoje vem sendo identificado com os laboratórios cidadãos. Para oferecer este panorama, faço uma compilação breve de trabalhos anteriores nos quais tratei da cultura digital brasileira, de laboratórios experimentais e de arranjos criativos em rede, em particular do ponto de vista das políticas públicas engendradas pelo Ministério da Cultura do Brasil. Este histórico sugere que parte considerável das iniciativas que hoje articulam um discurso de inovação cidadã no Brasil de hoje está na verdade enraizada em contextos socioculturais diversos e mais antigos. Reconhecer e dar visibilidade a esta bagagem só tem a contribuir para a relevância e a efetividade dos projetos de inovação cidadã, contrabalançando a relativa novidade desta nomenclatura. Aproveito ainda para trazer à tona novamente algumas recomendações anteriormente dirigidas à elaboração de políticas públicas de estímulo ao campo dos laboratórios experimentais, mas que podem também contribuir para estruturar o eventual fomento à inovação cidadã.Palavras-chave: Laboratórios Experimentais; Inovação Cidadã; Políticas Públicas; Cultura Digital.ABSTRACT The image of a citizen lab has been used to describe a vast and varied field of iniatives which in fact share organizational characteristics, as well as repertories, aspirations and methodologies. The same initiatives also maintain, nonetheless, considerable diversity, as a result of different processes of formation and consolidation. This arcle portrays the relatively recent history – of more than a decade – of Brazilian projects active in fields customarily associated with the scenario now usually belonging to citizen labs. To explore this panorama, I propose a brief compilation of previous work where I wrote about Brazilian digital culture, experimental labs and creative network arrangements, particularly from the point of view of public policies emanating from the Ministry of Culture. This historical overview suggests that a considerable part of the initiatives that now adopt the language of citizen innovation in Brazil has its roots in diverse, and older, sociocultural contexts. Recognizing and pointing out this heritage contributes to the relevance and effectiveness of citizen innovation projects, countering the relative novelty of this nomenclature. The article also brings up some recommendations previously directed to the elaboration of public policies of stimulus to the field of experimental laboratories, but which may also contribute to build eventual support for citizen innovation.Keywords: Experimental Laboratories; Citizen Innovation; Public Policy; Digital Culture.

Indian activists have recently complained about the pernicious attentions of white Indian ‘experts’, but they are likely to endure these attentions so long as their people retain a distinct cultural identity and national status. Unlike anthropologists and administrators, historians have not shaped the public policies applied to the native Americans, and so their expertise has seemed comparatively harmless. Yet having played a considerable part in misrepresenting the Indians, scholars have a duty to set the record straight with a minimum of unprofessional moralizing.

To the outside observer the history of Hindu sectarianism often appears as a disorganized tangle, lacking clarity and precision. The whole process is made if anything more complex by the ill-defined relationship of sect and non-sect. As Renou remarks: Though no statistics are available, even for the present day, we have grounds for supposing that the most active sects were themselves only isolated groups within the great body of believers. From another point of view, however, the history is more understandable. A considerable part of sectarian activity during the past 1,500 years has been concerned with the spread and regional development of a single great devotional movement. Seen from this position, the uniformity and theological coherence of the sects, whether they be called Vaiṣṇavite, Śaivite, or by some other name, is remarkable and often overrides the no less real disparities of doctrine or detail at another level. Again, in this process regional variations have arisen in no small measure as a result of the popular character of the writings of particular saints. Thus, for example, Basava or Purandara Dāsa hold pride of place in the Karnāṭka, the one Vīra Śaiva, the other Vaiṣṇava; in Mahārāṣṇra devotion has in no small part been moulded by the thought of Jāân Dev or Tukā Rām; in the Pañjāb by Nānak; and in the Hindī region by Kabīr Dās, Tulsī Dās, and Sūr Dās. Throughout north India the influences which lay behind the movement were largely, but by no means exclusively, Vaiṣṇavite; yet other streams contributed, Śaivite, Buddhist, Tāntrika, Yogī, etc.

Books dealing with the recent history of Ethiopia such as Greenfield'sEthiopia, a new political history, or Del Boca'sThe Ethiopian war, 1935–1941, state that a few works in Amharic have been written about this period. Though the number is not considerable, many books have been written on this subject, most of them by survivors of this conflict. Since they represent primary sources for the Ethiopian point of view, they are of great value, but there are several factors which complicate their utilization.

AbstractAlthough Japan, because of its long history of natural disasters, has always been one of the most prepared country, the 2011 Great East Japanese Earthquake and tsunami caused unprecedented damages to the country. This paper introduces public policies for urban resilience from international level to national level, analysing Tohoku’s reconstruction. First, we will introduce the United Nations frameworks and guidelines for “Build Back Better” before confronting this theory with its practical application. Concluding remarks suggest that Japanese reconstruction policies provoked some challenges in the local implementation of urban resilience.

Apresenta como objetivos centrais um levantamento do conceito do que são as políticas públicas do ponto de vista da consolidação da mesma como ciência, a revisão do contexto histórico do movimento ambientalista e exemplos de políticas públicas a partir do plano de manejo da APA Algodoal-Maiandeua, no município de Maracanã no Pará. Identifica-se que, apesar da boa iniciativa da proteção socioambiental pela legislação estabelecida pelo plano de manejo observado na APA Algodoal-Maiandeua, tais políticas não vem sendo, de fato, condizentes com o desenvolvimento local, pois ao analisar os indicadores como o da ocupação, do abastecimento de água e do saneamento, os mesmos demonstram que necessitam ser melhorados, haja vista que uma APA deve integrar o desenvolvimento local sustentável.

In this article Zoltán Somhegyi investigates the aesthetic qualities of Northern landscape representations, with a special focus on how contemporary examples are connected to classical ones. First he examines the history of the aesthetic appreciation of these sites, starting from their early modern reception and from the differentiation of “Northern” and “Mediterranean” landscapes: while the Mediterranean ones were highly valued already from the 15th–16th centuries on, the “wilder” Northern landscapes were admired mainly from Romanticism onwards. This has, among others, an aesthetichistorical reason, namely the birth of the category of the sublime; and in this case the harmonious Mediterranean landscapes and the irregular yet impressive Northern ones relate to each other as the category of beautiful does to the sublime. This is why from Romanticism on Northern landscapes became not only aesthetically valuable, but even more capable than the Southern ones to move the spectator. This is especially because, from a gnoseological point of view, the landscape might be a place – and the landscape representation a means – of self-interpretation. The historical overview is then used to better understand some of the most important characteristics of contemporary Northern landscape interpretations and representations from leading artists of the region, which are analysed in the second part of the article.
