Historical Trajectory

A partir da análise de um programa de colonização particular, o texto mostra como sedimentou-se uma determinada memória histórica sobre os agentes que estabeleceram-se numa fração do território ao oeste do Paraná, entre os anos de 1946 e 1960. Ressaltam, através do estudo de narrativas que enfocaram este processo, os mecanismos de estruturação de um consenso de comunidade, o qual se construiu no interrelacionamento entre colonizadores e colonos migrantes. Os valores étnicos e culturais de tais agentes (alemães e italianos; protestantes e católicos) permearam a estruturação de discursos homogêneos, nos quais as imagens de uma “raça nova de brasileiros”, do “melhor tipo de colono que o Paraná necessita”, são exemplos que integram tal construção. Mais importante: tais imagens serviram de base para a sedimentação de determinada memória histórica que retrata o processo de constituição social e política desse espaço. O estudo busca mostrar, a partir da análise da trajetória histórica desses discursos caracterizadores, os aspectos constituintes e construtores da memória oficializada.

In today's world, cultural exchanges have become more and more frequent because of the economic integration and technological globalization, but people from different countries may have different culture values. China and the United States, as representatives of the East and the West, also have great differences in value orientation. Therefore, understanding the differences between each culture has both theoretical and practical significance for their inter-cultural communication. This paper analyzes the differences between Chinese and American cultural values from five aspects: nature, humanity, time, relationship, and human actions. It will have an important guiding role in eliminating cultural barriers and promoting the development of Chinese and American culture in inter-cultural communication.

The Everyday

Turning to the history of the everyday life of an individual or society allows us to preserve historical memory, to identify the mechanisms that ensure the historical continuity and integrity of society at the present stage. An important role in the organization of the management of the regional educational space belonged to civil servant (the trustee, district inspectors, administrative corps of educational institutions), allocated from among the employees of the Ministry of the National Education. Based on historiographical and historical sources, using the methodological provisions of the theory of everyday life, the principles of objectivity, historicism and consistency, the article shows the role of the profession in the structure of the daily life of civil servant of the West Siberian Educational District. It is established that the professional activity was influenced by the scope of official duties established by departmental regulatory documentation, spatial and territorial features of the entrusted management sector, the socio-political situation that corrects professional duties, the established way of life and provides the opportunity to choose within the entrusted professional space. The social status and income level of a civil servant depended on the scope of control and its significance for the activities of the entire system. It was a compensation for the time and effort spent. The proposed approach to the analysis of the role of the professional factor in the daily life of civil servant of the West Siberian Educational District can be applied to other socio-professional groups in different territorial and temporal spaces.

Management Theories

This chapter draws attention to the relevance of cultures to management philosophy with the purpose of contributing to a culturally viable practice of management in Africa. It has been shown that the different management theories in the form that they have been developed in the West may not fit culturally in Africa. However, in developing theories and building models of management theories in Africa, it is unlikely to pay Africans to throw away all that the West has to offer. Rather, the process of appropriate management theorizing should be to reflect on the assumptions of Western management theories, compare Western assumptions about social and cultural values with African cultural values, and rebuild the theories or models through experimentation. The use of anthropological and philosophical concepts in this context will help in development of appropriate management practice.

With acceptance of Yoga in the West come challenges to Western understanding of what healing is, and how healing happens. The principles of spirituality and holistic living, which form the basis of Yoga, are largely being edited out of Yoga practice in America in an attempt to hold on to cultural perceptions about the nature of healing. This deletion has been a concern for many contemporary Yoga practitioners. This article explores Western cultural values as a backdrop for understanding the tendency to edit "practices" from other "traditions." Suggestions are made for how contemporary Yoga therapists can actively promote the traditional practices of Yoga through the language used to discuss Yoga, scientific studies, and reflection on Western preconceptions about health and healing. Yoga need not be divested of its spiritual heritage to live alongside biomedical approaches to health. By holding multiple theories of health and wellness as correct and useful within their own specific contexts, we will have more to offer those who are suffering with physical or mental illness.

Name Changes

Recent scholarship in critical toponymy studies has refashioned the understanding of street names from innocent labels to nominal loci of historical memory and vectors of collective identity that are embroiled with power relations. Urban nomenclatures consist of more than mere linguistic signposts deployed onto space to facilitate navigation. Street names are also powerful signposts that indicate the political regime and its socio-cultural values. Drawing on these theoretical insights, this paper is focused on Sibiu (Romania) and explore the city’s shifting namescape in a longitudinal perspective spanning one century and a half of modern history (1875–2020). The analysis is based on a complete dataset of street names and street name changes registered across five political regimes (Habsburg Empire, Kingdom of Romania, Romanian People’s Republic, Socialist Republic of Romania, and post-socialist Romania). A series of multiple logistic regression models were carried out to determine the factors that influence toponymic change. The statistical results point out several significant predictors of street renaming: (1) the streets’ toponymic characteristics (politicized or neutral name); (2) artery rank (public squares and large avenues or ordinary streets and alleys); and (3) topographic features (a street’s size and centrality). Such a quantitative approach coupled with a longitudinal perspective contributes to the scholarly literature on place-naming practices in three major ways: firstly, by advancing an innovative methodological framework and analytical model for the study of street name changes; secondly, by delineating with statistical precision the factors that model toponymic change; and thirdly, by embedding these renaming practices observed especially after significant power shifts in the broader historical context of the changes brought in the city’s street nomenclature.
