Main Ideas

On July 31, 2017, a symposium on Ripley’s forthcoming book Uncut was held in Buenos Aires. Ripley presented the main ideas in the book and there were comments by some of the participants. After the symposium, many of us agreed that it would be a good idea to put together a volume to reflect some of the interesting discussions that took place there.

Modern Image

The control and changes of urban spaces can reveal the intricate intersections between power and architecture. In this way, political regimes have often manipulated physical environment to promote political power and convey the identity that supports and legitimizes their rule. While power and architecture have been relevant in the past decades for scholarship produced in Europe and the United States, they have not received the same attention from scholars working on Latin American subjects. With the following essays, Dialogues would like to mitigate the present void and put forward new ways to look at and discuss the built environment. The section starts with a short introduction by Idurre Alonso and Maristella Casciato addressing the main ideas around the theme. Each of the subsequent four essays examines case studies in which the symbolic use of architecture and urbanism was used by different political actors in order to accommodate their specific ideas. Camilla Querin focuses on the marginalization of Afro and Indigenous Brazilian communities via the control of historical urban spaces in Rio de Janeiro. Catalina Fara analyzes the construction of a modern image of Buenos Aires generated by photographer Horacio Coppola and promoted by the municipality through the photo book Buenos Aires 1936. Visión Fotográfica. Cristóbal Jácome-Moreno examines the Eighth Pan-American Congress of Architecture (1952) in Mexico and its links to the government in the promotion of a unifying architectural past and present for the country. In the final essay, Lisa Blackmore addresses the urban reforms associated with hydro-engineering by Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo, linking them to his interest in projecting an image of modernity.

Conti: One of the main conclusions of the Wolf-Rayet symposium in Buenos Aires was that Wolf-Rayet stars are evolutionary products of massive objects. Some questions:–Do hot helium-rich stars, that are not Wolf-Rayet stars, exist?–What about the stability of helium rich stars of large mass? We know a helium rich star of ∼40 MO. Has the stability something to do with the wind?–Ring nebulae and bubbles : this seems to be a much more common phenomenon than we thought of some years age.–What is the origin of the subtypes? This is important to find a possible matching of scenarios to subtypes.

The paper presents a summary of the forthcoming book by the authors and discusses the sample study of the 9 developing countries. While admitting the non-linearity of economic development they claim that the developing countries make a transition from the limited access orders (where the coalition of powerful elite groups plays a major role, that is based on personal connections and hampers free political and economic competition) to the open access orders with democratic government and efficient decentralized economic system. The major conclusion of this article is that what the limited access societies should do is not simply introducing open access institutions, but reorganizing the incentives of the elites so that to limit violence, provide economic and political stability and make a gradual transition to the open access order beneficial for the elites.

Main Ideas

Reading is one of the important aspects in the communication process. Reading can make someone better understand the contents of the reading. In learning to make it easier for students to understand the contents of the reading it will be easier if it begins with the ability to determine the main ideas of the paragraph. Based on this, the researcher conducted a study by applying the Cooperative Integrated Reading and Composition (CIRC) learning model to the ability to determine the main idea of the paragraph at the fifth grade students of SD 003 Pulau Kopung. This study aims to determine the effect of the CIRC learning model on the ability to determine the main ideas of paragraphs of fifth grade students of SD Negeri 003 Pulau Kopung. This research method is a quasi- experimental Nonequivalent Control Group Design. This research was conducted in two classes, the VA class as the control class and VB class as the experimental class with 22 students in each class. The results of the study showed that the CIRC learning model influenced the ability to determine paragraph main ideas with the results of calculations derived from the gain index, the experimental class using the CIRC learning model got an increase in gain of 0.59 with the middle class and the control class with the normal learning model got an increase of 0.31 with medium class.

The Universe

There are various keys to William Gillespie's piece, which is extracted from his forthcoming book Your Guide to Getting a Divorce in Illinois (Spineless Books, 2020), and structured through lexias that blend the narration of cleaving and separation across a relationship with aphoristic questioning and reflection. One sentence, however, effectively primes the text. ‘Birth pluralizes, death singulates.’ It finds refractions across the piece, working off themes involving loneliness and otherness, and around patterns that extend from individuality to ‘the universe – literally everything’. The text thereby explores the (im/inter)personality of ‘being singular plural’, delivering a striking performance of tonally complex terseness.
