The intent of the interview with the authors of In defence of the school was debating the reception of such book in the context of educational research in Brazil. On one hand, the very outreach of the idea of defending the school was inquired, taking into account the socio-historical context which still circumscribes the school in the functional register of State apparatus. On the other hand, and as a consequence, once again was called into question the book’s theoretical horizon, capable of substantiating the defence of the school as res publica. On both fronts, the interview ends up shedding some light to a triple problematization: a) the impasses as to what arguing in favor of formal education nowadays means; b) the consequences of school practice being thought only according to a theoretical-pedagogical dimension, as the authors maintain; c) the constant tension existing between the actualization of historical experiences in the multiplicity of school context and the presupposition of thinking of a general school model.  Stemming from the interview,  either the opponents or the proponents of Masschelein and Simons’ theses obtain new tools to rethink the ethico-political contours of In defence of the school.

Religious Crisis

The monotheistic confession in Isa 40–48 is best understood against the historical context of Israel’s political and religious crisis situation in the final years of Neo-Babylonian rule. According to Deutero-Isaiah, Yhwh is unique and incomparable because he alone truly predicts the “future” (Isa 41:22–29)—currently the triumph of Cyrus—which will lead to Israel’s liberation from Babylonian captivity (Isa 45). This prediction is directed against the Babylonian deities’ claim to possess the power of destiny and the future, predominantly against Bel-Marduk, to whom both Nabonidus and his opponents appeal in their various political assertions regarding Cyrus. According to the Babylonian conviction, Bel-Marduk has the universal divine power, who, on the one hand, directs the course of the stars and thus determines the astral omens and, on the other hand, directs the course of history (cf. Cyrus Cylinder). As an antithesis, however, Deutero-Isaiah proclaims Yhwh as the sovereign divine creator and leader of the courses of the stars in heaven as well as the course of history on earth (Isa 45:12–13). Moreover, the conflict between Nabonidus and the Marduk priesthood over the question of the highest divine power (Sîn versus Marduk) may have had a kind of “catalytic” function in Deutero-Isaiah’s formulation of the monotheistic confession.

Culturally Embedded

AbstractThe more recently proposed epistemological models (cf Gregersen & Van Huyssteen, eds., Rethinking Theology and Science: Six Models for the Current Dialogue) within the context of the science and religion debate, have opened up galaxie,s of meanirzg on the interface of the debates which are inviting for exploralive, theological travelling. But how are we epistemologically to judge not only oui journets but also the rethinking of the implications of these epistemological models for our understanding of religious experience and our experience of transcendence? The interdisciplinary space that has been opened up in an exciting post-foundational manner zuithirz these very debates, leaves us as rational persons, embedded in a very specific social and historical context, with the haunting cognitive pluralist question on how to reach beyond the limits of our own epistemic traditions (Wentzel van Huyssteen). This question is pursued as an effort on the one hand to unmask epistemic arrogance and, on the other hand, not to take refuge in the insular comfort of internally closed language-systems. It is an effort to address relativism and a 'twentieth-century despair of any knozuledye of reality' (Polkinghorne). It is finally an effort to conceptually revisit the implications of tltese models for our understanding of our culturally embedded religious experience.

Reconciliation Process

This article discusses how the encounter of Islam and culture in Indonesia, and how Islam on one hand  affects culture and on the other hand it is influenced by culture. The encounter between Islam and local culture has formed a new habitat that is later called the Islamic Nusantara tradition. The findings in this article prove that the interaction of Islam with local culture occurs in a socio-historical context influenced by the pattern of the spread of Islam in the archipelago. By using the theory of Taufik Abdullah in this article the author compares the three variants of Islamic Nusantara with the pattern and uniqueness of each form: a) Javanese variant, there is a process of acculturation between Islam and culture which are equally strong. The Javanese Islamic variant describes the result of a reconciliation process between identity, belief and the style of Javanese and Islam as "Mystic Synthesis". B) Minangkabau variant, born from "Negotiation of Islam and Adat" as a very thick area of Islamic and customary nuances make the dimensions in Islamic variants in Minangkabau cannot be separated from the conflict between the two parties who gave the role. C) Gorontalo variant, with different Islamiza­tion process with other kingdoms in the Nusantara in general. Since the early period of Islamic encounter with Gorontalo culture, there has been more tangible "Integration between Islam and Adat". Keywords: Java, Minangkabau, Gorontalo, Islam NusantaraArtikel ini mendiskusikan bagaimana perjumpaan Islam dan budaya di Indonesia, dan bagaimana Islam pada satu sisi berpengaruh terhadap budaya dan di sisi lain dipengaruhi oleh budaya. Perjumpaan antara Islam dan budaya lokal telah membentuk habitat baru yang belakangan disebut tradisi Islam Nusantara. Temuan dalam artikel ini membuktikan bahwa interaksi Islam dengan budaya lokal terjadi dalam konteks sosio-historis yang dipengaruhi pola penyebaran Islam di kawasan Nusantara. Dengan menggunakan teori Taufik Abdullah dalam artikel ini penulis memban­ding­kan tiga varian Islam Nusantara dengan corak dan keunikannya masing-masing diantaranya: a) Varian Jawa, terjadi proses akulturasi an­tara Islam dan budaya yang sama-sama kuat. Varian Islam Jawa meng­gambarkan hasil proses rekonsiliasi antara identitas, keyakinan serta gaya Jawa dan Islam ini dengan sebutan “Sintesis Mistik”. b) Varian Minang­kabau, lahir dari “Negosiasi Islam dan Adat” sebagai wilayah yang sangat kental nuansa Islam dan adat membuat warna dalam varian Islam di Minangkabau tidak lepas dari dari konflik antara dua pihak yang memberi peranan tersebut. c) Pola Gorontalo, dengan proses Islamisasi yang ber­beda dengan kerajaan-kerajaan di Nusantara pada umumnya. Sejak periode awal perjumpaan Islam dengan budaya Gorontalo lebih berwujud “Integ­rasi antara Islam dan Adat”.Kata kunci: Jawa, Minangkabau, Gorontalo, , Islam Nusantara

Two Sides

Di satu sisi, penekanan modernisme pada rasionalitas dan historisitas telah menghasilkan kristologi yang kritis-objektif. Di sisi lain, pascamodernisme yang berepistemologi pluralis menghasilkan kristologi yang subjektif. Menanggapi dan menjembatani dua sisi persoalan ini, pendekatan hermeneutis redemptive-historical diajukan sebagai pendekatan alternatif injili. Pendekatan yang berpusat pada Kristus sebagai kulminasi sejarah penebusan (seperti yang disaksikan Alkitab) ini mengaitkan tiga horizon yaitu: textual, epochal, dan canonical untuk menginterpretasikan teks Kitab Suci secara holistik. Pendekatan ini menganalisis sintaksis, konteks sastra, konteks sejarah dan genre-nya (textual horizon), mengaitkannya dengan sejarah penebusan (epochal horizon), dan melihatnya dalam terang keutuhan kanon (canonical horizon). Penggabungan ketiga unsur tersebut menekankan dinamika pemenuhan janji Allah dalam kulminasi tersebut. Dengan demikian, pendekatan hermeneutis redemptive historical dapat mengarahkan orang Kristen pembacaan dan penafsiran Alkitab yang kristosentris. Kata-kata kunci: Pendekatan Redemptive-Historical, Epistemologi, Kristologi Modern Kristologi Pascamodern, Hermeneutika Injili Kristosentris On the one hand, the emphasis of modernism on rationality and historicity has produced a critical-objective Christology. On the other hand, post-modernism with a pluralist epistemology produces subjective Christology. Responding to, and bridging the two sides of this problem, the redemptive-historical hermeneutical approach is proposed as an alternative evangelical approach. The Christ-centered approach as the culmination of the history of redemption (as witnessed to in the Bible) links three horizons, namely: textual, epochal, and canonical to interpret the text of the Scriptures holistically. This approach analyzes syntax, literary context, historical context and its genre (textual horizon), links it to the history of redemption (epochal horizon), and sees it in the light of the canon (canonical horizon). The combination of these three elements emphasizes the dynamic fulfillment of God’s promises. Thus, the historical redemptive hermeneutical approach can lead Christians to read and interpret the Christocentric Bible.

Based on the research done so far, this paper aims at providing a brief excursus on the conservative history of King Dinis' tomb, a unicum in the Portuguese art scene of the first half of the 14th century and an emblematic piece of medieval European sculpture. On the other hand, this article calls into question some affirmations transmitted in an uncritical way over the years by Portuguese artistic historiography. Thus, notations, considerations and reasoning are formulated based on the visual and material evaluation of the artwork, as well as on the analysis of the historical context. The aim is to revisit the existing literature on the restoration of the monument and to quantify the interventions and damage suffered by the tomb, either as a result of natural disasters or by the hand of man.

It is expected that today’s school shall, on the one hand – to the greatest extent possible, support a pupil in his or her development and education-related activities, on the other hand – prevent exclusion, so easy to occur in today’s, structurally diversified society. The factor which poses a potential source of social exclusion is the evaluation of education-related achievements of pupils, present in the education-related school practice in the form of a grade. The system of evaluating the education-related achievements, in view of the diversity of results, often introduce stereotypical divisions into “better” and “worse” pupils, resulting in school setbacks, implicating negatively perceived competition as well as distorting the relations within the school community. In view of the aforementioned circumstances, the considerations over the evaluation of education-related achievements seem to be well-founded, particularly in the context of primary education of pupils.

AbstractLegal anthropologists and sociologists of religion increasingly recognize the importance of law in current controversies over religious diversity. Drawing on the case of South Africa, this article explores how such controversies are shaped by contestations over what counts as ‘religion’. Analyzing the historical context and emergent forms of institutional secularity from which contemporary contestations over religious diversity draw, the article explores debates and practices of classification around religion, tradition, and culture, and the ways in which these domains are co-constituted through their claims on the law: on the one hand through an analysis of religion-related jurisprudence; on the other hand through an examination of the debates on witchcraft, law, and religion. I argue that the production of judicial knowledge of ‘religion’, ‘culture’, and ‘tradition’ is tied up with contestations over the power to define the meaning of the domains. In fact, contrary to notions of constitutionality in which rights seem to exist prior to the claims made on their basis, in a fundamental sense rights struggles help to constitute the contemporary human rights dispensation. Against the Comaroffs’ claim that judicialization depoliticizes power struggles, I show that legal claims making remains vibrantly political.

  RESUMEN El objetivo del presente fue determinar si previo al ingreso a la Licenciatura en Contaduría Pública los estudiantes recibieron capacitación sobre temas relacionados con la ética fiscal, la cual en algunas ocasiones es llamada civismo fiscal, cultura fiscal o contributiva y ello influyó en la decisión de elegirla. El enfoque utilizado fue el cuantitativo, la muestra del estudio fue no probabilística, por conveniencia o intencional, seleccionando directamente a los estudiantes de dicha licenciatura de la Sede Zacapoaxtla del Complejo Regional Nororiental de la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, generación 2018. Se encuestaron a 25 de los 28 estudiantes inscritos, sus edades oscilan entre los 18 y 22 años, el promedio es de 19 años, la mayor parte de los encuestados son mujeres. Solo el 28% de los encuestados recibió capacitación previa al ingreso a la Licenciatura en los temas, al 88% les llama la atención algunos de ellos relacionados, sobresaliendo la ética fiscal, el 84% respondió que para tomar la decisión de incorporaste a cursar la Licenciatura en Contaduría Pública, los temas relacionados, no influyeron en la misma, lo anterior basado en la falta de mayor difusión de los programas nacionales para generar en los estudiantes a través de la educación formal en los diversos niveles educativos, y de las acciones o estrategias para generar una cultura contributiva, un civismo o una ética fiscal. Para solventar lo anterior se propone ampliación de la cobertura territorial de dichos programas y sus acciones o estrategias. El haber tenido o no, capacitación o preparación sobre los temas, no influye en la decisión de incorporarse a la Licenciatura en Contaduría Pública. Por el contrario, lo que influye para tal decisión, es el interés que tienen sobre estos temas, de los cuales el principal es la ética fiscal. ABSTRACT The objective of document is determine if previous to entering the Bachelor of Public Accounting the students received a training on issues related to tax ethics, which is called tax civism, tax culture or contributory and this influenced the decision to choose this subject.

On the other hand to resolve the situation before mentionated, it is proposed to expand the territorial coverage of said programs and their actions or strategies. Having had or not, a training or preparation on the issues, does not influence the decision to join the Bachelor of Public Accounting. As a consequence what influences such a decision is the interest they have in these matters, one of the most important is tax ethics. KEYWORDS: Students; Tax ethics; Fiscal civism; Fiscal culture.
