Este artigo analisa a série de fotografias A última aventura (2011) da artista Romy Pocztaruk. A artista, em suas fotografias revela as ruínas de Fordlândia demonstrando o fracasso do projeto utópico de Henry Ford e o cenário desolado das cidades que foram construídas ao redor da Rodovia Transamazônica. No ensaio A nostalgia das ruínas de Andreas Huyssen podemos compreender que as ruínas da modernidade demonstram o declínio das promessas modernas, que falharam ou que não se concretizaram ainda.

Anything coming after the floor show we have just seen can only be an anticlimax, and my impulse is to tear up my prepared text and just quote two great men: Thomas Carlyle, who described economics as “the dismal science” and Henry Ford, who said “history is bunk” — from which it presumably follows that economic history is dismal bunk. Instead, I should like to take advantage of this captive audience and speak to you in praise of economic history. This is an old Arabic genre : mahasin al-iqtisad. And of course economic history means giving as little history for as much money as possible, so you will not expect a long speech.

There is currently considerable interest in the international regulations for preventing collisions at sea (the COLREGS). Suggestions for changes are made, but their validity is difficult to assess because there is little possibility of testing new proposals before they are introduced. There is, however, the possibility of considering the history of the COLREGS, and their effectiveness, as they have evolved over the years. In this paper, the author's aim is to look at the lessons that may be learned from one, particularly tragic, collision between the Princess Alice and the Bywell Castle in 1878. Opinions differ as to whether a study of history is likely to be a useful exercise.History is more or less bunk – Henry Ford (American Industrialist)The only way forwards is backwards – Boris Johnson (British Politician)
