La més o menys plausible reconquesta de la imatge històrica construïda segle rere segle i violentament eliminada per la guerra i les intervencions de caire infrastructural de les següents dècades, planteja preguntes cabdals i ineludibles en l’actual debat sobre contextos històrics i en la relació entre allò vell i allò nou, més enllà d’una noció d’autenticitat que encara és massa indeterminada. És precisament en aquest marc on trobem l’explicació per les intervencions de reconstrucció en Alemanya, considerades ací com respostes madures i conscients a una nova fase reconstructora de centres històrics. Dins de la història de la reconstrucció, són, per tant, paradigmàtiques per les preguntes que suggereixen, però també per les solucions concretes que ofereixen en la seua relació dialèctica entre còpia i reinterpretació. Per aquesta raó, no poden ser tractades com a simples casos de reconstrucció estilística, sinó que han de ser avaluades com a projectes genuïns d’arquitectura contemporània. El reviscolat de l’estructura mínima del parcellarium, que sovint a requerit la demolició de grans complexos edificats entre les dècades dels seixanta i dels vuitanta del segle XX, es converteix en el comú denominador d’aquestes experiències recents. El model mixt adoptat en aquests casos està basat en la coexistència de Leitbauten i de Neubauten, és a dir, edificis pilots reconstruïts d’acord amb els originals i en nous edificis inspirats pels originals.

The European Association of Psychologists’ Associations (EFPA) was created in 1981 as the European Association of Professional Psychologists’ Associations (EFPPA). We show that Shakespeare’s dictum “What’s in a name?” does not apply here and that the loss of the “first P” (the adjectival “professional”) was resisted for almost two decades and experienced by many as a serious loss. We recount some of the deliberations preceding the change and place these in a broader historical context by drawing parallels with similar developments elsewhere. Much of the argument will refer to an underlying controversy between psychology as a science and the practice of psychology, a controversy that is stronger than in most other sciences, but nevertheless needs to be resolved.

The following article is based on my fieldwork in Morocco and represents anthropological data collected amongst undocumented sub-Saharan migrants in Morocco. They want to enter Europe in search for a better life for themselves and to provide financial support for their families. Due to heavy border security control and repression, they find themselves trapped at the gates of Europe, where they are trying to survive by engaging in various economic activities in the informal sector. The article begins with an overview of the European migration politics in Africa and the geopolitical and historical context of Morocco, in light of the externalization of European border control. I will then analyze the various economic sectors, in which sub-Saharan migrations are active, as well as smuggling networks, informal camps and remittances, on which they largely depend due to the exclusion from the national job market.

The Vietnamese Catholic community is not only a religious community but also a traditional village with relationships based on kinship and/or sharing the same residential area, similar economic activities, and religious activities. In this essay, we are interested in examining migrating Catholic communities which were shaped and reshaped within the historical context of Viet Nam war in 1954. They were established after the migration of millions of Catholics from Northern to Southern Viet Nam immediately after Geneva Agreement in 1954. Therefore, by examining the particular structural traits of the emigration Catholic Communities we attempt to reconstruct the reproducing process of village structure based on the communities’ triple structure: kinship structure, governmental structure and religious organization.

In the framework of broad philosophic and historical context the author conducts comparative analysis of the conditions for assimilating liberal values in leading countries of the modern world and in Russia. He defends the idea of inevitable forward movement of Russia on the way of rationalization and cultivation of all aspects of life, but, to his opinion, it will occur not so fast as the "first wave" reformers thought and in other ideological and sociocultural forms than in Europe and America. The author sees the main task of the reformist forces in Russia in consolidation of the society and inplementation of socially responsible economic policy.
