ABSTRACTThe Brazilian dictatorship (1964-1984) directly influenced Brazilian arts. Various artists addressed death, torture, and riot scenes in their works. This era of upheaval and oppression played an important role in Brazilian visual art, films, music, theater, literature and politics and is very important to understand avant-garde art of the time and the pronounced changes of the arts in general. In this paper I will examine the ways in which Brazilian artists have expressed and responded to the social, economic and political crisis of dictatorship. Moreover they resisted American cultural imperialism and displayed culture and social realities of Brazil.RESUMOHélio Oiticica (1937-1980) foi um artista brasileiro contemporâneo. Ele fez obras abstratas, performance, instalação, fotografia e filmes. Sua obra se insere em uma época em que o Brasil estava se modernizando com acontecimentos como, por exemplo, a construção de Brasília; a primeira Bienal de Artes de São Paulo; a presença de Max Bill (artista suíço) no Brasil.Oiticica esteve em Sussex em 1969 e em Nova Iorque no decorrer dos anos 70 e retornou ao Brasil (1978). O artista pôs sua obra - contextualizada entre os anos 50 a 80 - em contato com o meio social das favelas do Rio de Janeiro, com a escola de samba da Mangueira e com a criminalidade do Rio. Todos estes fatores apresentaram uma relação com sua obra.

The concept of ‘the environment’ has changed over time. Early views focused on changing ecosystems and the impact of various forms of pollution. However, the social, economic and cultural dimensions of the environment have been increasingly recognized and the inclusion of sustainable development makes the concept even broader. Environmental education is an approach to acquire the values and clarifying concepts, which aims to develop the necessary skills to understand and appreciate the relationships between human culture and the natural environment vitality, and it is not just the teaching of information and knowledge, but experience in the process of decision making, responsibility, and a law of conduct on issues related to assessment and environmental protection. The importance of environmental education lies when it takes its position between the arts and sciences which are taught, so it turns into a special approach able to take its role in all curricula and in all stages of school and In order to prepare the minds of new generations aware of the concept of environmental education, and work on its application. Therefore, it is through environmental education can make radical changes in ways of thinking and environmental behavior in the society. So that each person is acting like a mature decision maker. This paper highlights the aspects: a) Importance of teaching environmental education in schools b) The approaches adapted to the teaching of environmental education c) Learning strategies of environmental education in school.

The New Deal

This chapter focuses on the infusion of state subsidies during the New Deal, which accelerated the pace of artistic legitimation and widened its path. Federal and state governments paid for the production and display of an enormous amount and variety of culture. This diversified the content and personnel in American creative fields and accelerated the transformation of many forms of vernacular culture into art. It was this world, rich with variety, in which an artistically voracious group of Americans was born and enculturated. The chapter then looks at the establishment of the Works Progress Administration (WPA). While the purpose of the WPA was to provide an income for starving artists, its unintended consequence was a radical opening of access to the arts and heretofore “illegitimate” culture. Under the WPA, the four programs referred to as “Federal Project Number One” provided subsidies for the production of visual art, music, theater, and literature.

Taking Responsibility

Chapter 2 defines injustice itself and argues that political responsibility requires taking on injustice itself. Injustice itself entails complex causality, power inequalities, normalization, and the social epistemologies of injustice. Complex causality means that taking responsibility for injustice itself cannot require that we first understand how we are connected to an injustice and all of the factors contributing to it. Relatively powerful actors can exploit power inequalities causing domination, economic or physical exploitation, marginalization, powerlessness, cultural imperialism, violence, and oppression. Normalization is when social, economic, and political habits can render the consequence of these so familiar that their unjustness is invisible. Even when these consequences are observed, social epistemologies can function like normalization at the cognitive level—creating shared understandings of how to interpret those consequences such that they are not assessed as matters of injustice. These points are illustrated drawing on research on gender, environment, and climate change in addition to the garment industry.

Multisensory and cross-modal perception have been recognised as crucial for shaping modernist epistemology, aesthetics, and art. Illustrative examples of how it might be possible to test equivalences (or mutual translatability) between different sensual modalities can be found in theoretical pronouncements on the arts and in artistic production of both the avant-garde and high modernism. While encouraging multisensory, cross-modal, and multimodal artistic experiments, twentieth-century artists set forth a new language of sensory integration. This article addresses the problem of the literary representation of multisensory and cross-modal experience as a particular challenge for translation, which is not only a linguistic and cross-cultural operation but also cross-sensual, involving the gap between different culture-specific perceptual realities. The problem of sensory perception remains a vast underexplored terrain of modernist translation history and theory, and yet it is one with potentially far-reaching ramifications for both a cultural anthropology of translation and modernism's sensory anthropology. The framework of this study is informed by Douglas Robinson's somatics of translation and Clive Scott's perceptive phenomenology of translation, which help to put forth the notion of sensory equivalence as a pragmatic correspondence between the source and target texts, appealing to a range of somato-sensory (audial, visual, haptic, gestural, articulatory kinaesthetic, proprioceptive) modalities of reader response.

Broad Outline

Re-creating the social, economic and demographic life-cycles of ordinary people is one way in which historians might engage with the complex continuities and changes which underlay the development of early modern communities. Little, however, has been written on the ways in which historians might deploy computers, rather than card indexes, to the task of identifying such life cycles from the jumble of the sources generated by local and national administration. This article suggests that multiple-source linkage is central to historical and demographic analysis, and reviews, in broad outline, some of the procedures adopted in a study which aims at large scale life cycle reconstruction.

Regions Of Russia

The mode of development of the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia and the impact of the epidemic on the areas of scientific research, education and functioning of the fuel and energy complex are discussed. The official statistics revealed evidence both of effectivity of the taken anti-epidemic measures in Moscow and of possible cases of incorrectness of statistical data. The social situation and the mode of development of the epidemic in Moscow and in the regions of Russia are essentially different, that reduces the effectiveness of anti-epidemic measures introduced uniformly throughout the whole country. The conditions of the pandemic and quarantine are difficult for everyone, but organizations and persons with a more modern informational character of production adapt to them more easily. In general, it can be suggested that the epidemic besides the very essential losses gives an important impulse for social-economic and political modernization of the society.
