O artigo procura resgatar a história da implantação do Parque Anhembi como meio “técnico” usado no processo de metropolização da capital paulista, incentivador da industrialização, ao lado do plano de desenvolvimento nacional, em seu papel da construção de uma imagem de cidade moderna e na inserção da cidade como importante polo de negócios nacional e internacional. São avaliados os mecanismos legais ou aparatos criados para a sua realização e gestão. Por fim, são apontados alguns caminhos para se entender o embate entre preservação e privatização do conjunto, as inversões sobre o entendimento de instrumentos importantes para a salvaguarda de bens patrimoniais e a reflexão sobre os caminhos da gestão da cidade quando não são toleráveis interesses divergentes.Palavras-Chave: Parque Anhembi, História da Arquitetura Moderna, Patrimônio Cultural, Mercantilização, Privatização.AbstractThe article seeks to rescue Anhembi Park implantation history as a "technical" medium used in the process of establishing the capital of São Paulo State as a metropolis, an incentive for industrialization, alongside the national development plan, in its role of building a modern city image and its insertion as an important national and international business pole. Legal mechanisms or apparatuses created for such achievement and management are evaluated. Finally, some ways are pointed out to understand the conflict between its preservation and privatization, the inversions on important tools understanding about the safeguarding of patrimonial assets and the reflection on city management choices when different interests are not considered.Keywords: Anhembi Park, History of Modern Architecture, Cultural Heritage, Merchantilization, Privatization

Curators are partners with printing historians, collectors, and conservators, as well as with communities, in selecting, preserving, and interpreting cultural heritage. Uncovering the role of a technology such as mimeography reveals more than a history of a specific machine or technical process. It secures a better understanding about social experience by authenticating accounts about how diverse groups communicated with their own communities and to others. Special collections professionals need to be archaeologists to recover evidence from and to best preserve 20th-century publications. Current tools for studying recent print artifacts are insufficient. Thus, collaborating to generate methods for analysis is an . . .

The Town

This article reflects the authors’ experience of undertaking an oral history project in the regional Victorian town of Rushworth. The authors of the article contend that to conduct an investigation of the natural and cultural heritage of the town and surrounding forests is also to engage in an archaeology of historical landscapes. The authors, after articulating the theoretical and methodological issues of oral history, name and trace the various historical layers of the landscape of Rushworth and the forest that surrounds the town. They argue that the use of oral history in conjunction with cultural landscape analysis enables a deeper understanding of the cultural complexity of the history of Rushworth and the surrounding region. Broader issues concerning regional identity and the role of historians in providing a greater understanding of the community in the present day are also evaluated.

In this article, we assert and demonstrate a particular and enduring adaptability of radio in tandem with observable temporal shifts in development communication theory and practice in Africa. Specifically, we use the historical research method to explore and explain the ideological discourses, polity contours and social forces that have overlain the role of radio as both an index and an instrument of development in Ghana. The evidence reveals that radio has transitioned through three key milestones in how the technology has been appropriated and applied to national development efforts: from transplantation, through transmission, to transaction. Each of these phases coincides, incidentally, with paradigm shifts in development communication theorizing: from modernization through diffusion to participation. They also coincide, broadly, with three distinctive epochs of ideological shifts in the historical accounting on radio for development in Ghana: from British imperial hegemony, through post-independence command-and-control, to contemporary liberal pluralism.

In the academic year 2017-2018, an experience was launched in 4 course units: Theory of Architecture I and II, and History of Architecture III and IV. The researched object would be the same, while aiming at its intrinsic variations as a way to unravel common and uncommon grounds between theory and history. Besides my voice in the “role of directed research” and the students’ voice in “the role of play”, I felt the need to introduce a third voice, one that would help to “free up the habitual links between things”, in theory and in history. It was how Charles Jencks was introduced to students. The challenge was to question his mappings of architectural evolution, by scrutinising his “evolutionary trees”. In 1973, Charles Jencks published Modern Movements in Architecture, a book resulting from his doctoral dissertation with Reyner Banham’s guidance. It presented a critical mapping of modern architecture, as a solely movement, through the rereading of moments, objects and actors according to “Six Traditions”: logical, idealist, self-conscious, intuitive, activist, and unself-conscious (80% of environment). The permanently incomplete and questionable “evolutionary tree” – yet always intriguing –, had been updated by Jencks himself: in 2000 (Fig.1), and in 2015 (Fig.2). With the latter, new six traditions replaced the previous ones. The Exhibition “Six Traditions” aimed to reveal these two updates. In History of Architecture III and IV, the works focused on the themes of the twentieth century, while in Theory of Architecture I and II, the focus was on the themes of the last twenty years. In group work, written essays introduced, described and questioned the topics within the maps, and were complemented by posters, which would be the core of the Exhibition “Six Traditions”. The work was displayed at the Department of Architecture of the University of Coimbra between January 15th and February 28th, 2019.

Abstract The author studies the role of Christianity in two forms of 9th century political ethics in the history of Great Moravia, represented by the Great Moravian rulers Rastislav and Svatopluk. Rastislav’s conception predominantly uses the pre-Erasmian model of political ethics based on the pursuit of welfare for the country and its inhabitants by achieving the clerical-political independence of Great Moravia from the Frankish kingdom and, moreover, by utilising Christianity for the advancement of culture, education, literature, law and legality, as well as by spreading Christian ethics and morality in the form of the Christian code of ethics expressed in ethicallegal documents. Svatopluk’s political conception was a prototype of Machiavellian political ethics, according to which one is, in the interest of the country and its power and fame, allowed to be a lion and/or a fox. Svatopluk abused Christianity in the name of achieving his power-oriented goals. Great Moravia outlived Rastislav; it did not, however, outlive Svatopluk, as, shortly after his death, it broke up and ceased to exist. The author came to the conclusion that Rastislav’s conception was more viable, as its cultural heritage lives on in the form of works by Constantine and Methodius.

History Of

Sigfried Giedion (1888-1968) was a foremost Swiss architectural historian. Teaching at Harvard, Yale, MIT, the Chicago School of Design, and at ETH Zurich, he deeply shaped the idea of modern architecture. One of Giedion’s best known works was his book chapter on the Chicago school. It was a key piece of historiography, embedded in the broader context of his famous publication of 1941, "Space, Time and Architecture." However Giedion's historic sources for the Chicago school were long believed to be lost or absent, which made his historiography target of endless academic debates. This present article recovers Giedion's sources, and it also evaluates the role of his publication in a larger history of cultural diversification and growth: After Giedion's work appeared, multiple schools of thought all named “Chicago school” unexpectedly rose to prominence together. Many of these schools already existed decades before the 1940s, but they were less well known than thereafter. Why did this collective growth only come into action after such an extended period of formation? As an explanation to this question, I developed a theory of cultural dissemination and reception that makes statements about the interplay between entire groups of authors and audiences. The theory builds on evolutionary models extensively studied in other disciplines. In the humanities, the theory may help us understand processes of formation and growth. In our particular case, Giedion is placed in a larger process of diversification. As a more general finding, the broad validity of the causal model developed here suggests that the world around us is often shaped by similar principles of self-organization.

Complex Subject

The purpose of this paper is to discuss briefly the current reconstruction efforts in Zimbabwe. The historical roots of prevailing social problems will be outlined and, government attempts in addressing these problems, both now and in the future, will be reviewed. The emphasis will be factual rather than analytical, in the hope that the information provided will contribute to the formulation of solutions to the many problems facing the new nation of Zimbabwe. It is difficult to do justice to such a complex subject without a National Development Plan covering all sectors of the economy. Unfortunately, this plan will not be published until possibly mid-June 1981. A global picture is indispensable in dealing with education, because manpower requirements are determined to a large extent by what is happening in all sectors of the economy, which in turn is influenced by the government’s development strategies.
