Cultural Role

Este trabajo se centra en una “constelación” de intelectuales argentinos de horizontes inevitablemente eurocentricos que, mediante la propia contribución ofrecida en la revista Sur (1931-1992) a través de ensayos sobre crítica de arte, intentan comprender las dificultades del momento artístico local. Con el inicio de una secuencia de eventos, se propone una reflexión que entiende el cine y la arquitectura como un “espacio pedagógico”. Por medio  del análisis y la interpretación del papel cultural de Victoria Ocampo (Buenos Aires 1890-1979) y la “herramienta-revista” Sur, se presentan una serie de eventos y estrategias unidos por un fil rouge orientado a crear la unidad cultural argentina; desde el apoyo personal y privado,  brindado a Le Corbusier durante su viaje por Argentina y el proyecto documental que inicia en el marco del cine sovietico de Sergej Ėjzenštejn hasta abarcar el neorrealismo italiano de Vittorio De Sica y Cesare Zavattini. El enfoque en Ocampo, escritora, mecenas y directora de Sur, lleva el análisis crítico al marco moderno de los estudios de género, abriendo -a la cultura y sociedad argentina de los años en cuestión- un panorama de ideas complejo y fructífero, respecto al horizonte de desarrollo del propio patrimonio cultural. This paper focuses on a “constellation” of argentinian scholars characterized by an inevitable and common eurocentric horizon that, through their own contribution in Sur (1931-1992) with several art critic essays, try to interpretate the tough local artistic moment. Starting from a sequence of events, a reflection on cinema and architecture as a 'pedagogical space’, is proposed. Through the analysis and interpretation of Victoria Ocampo’s cultural role and her tool-magazine named Sur, a series of events and strategies connected by a fil rouge oriented to create an Argentian cultural unity are presented: from the personal and private support provided to Le Corbusier during his journey to Argentina and the documentary project that starts in the framework of the Soviet cinema of Sergej Ėjzenštejn, to the Italian neorealism of Vittorio De Sica and Cesare Zavattini. The focus in Ocampo, writer, maecenas and director of Sur brings critical analysis to the modern framework of gender studies, opening - to the Argentine culture and society of those years - a complex and fruitful panorama of ideas, to the horizon of development of one's cultural heritage.

The Maison Curutchet is the only house by Le Corbusier in America. The project was developed between 1948 to 1949 and built between 1949 to 1955 as a single-family dwelling and as a professional medical office to the well-known Dr. Pedro Domingo Curutchet in La Plata, Buenos Aires. In 2013–2014, Colegio de Arquitectos de la Provincia de Buenos Aires (CAPBA) which head office is settled there, decided to carry out a full maintenance, done with the strict criteria of minimizing the impact on the house and using as reference the original documentation. The process was coordinated by CAPBA's Enhancement Research Institute, led by the architect Pablo Mastropasqua, and directed by the architect Julio Santana.

Role Of Women

Currently, many are the phenomena that occur around intangible cultural heritage (ICH), related to its politics and legacy. With a critical analysis perspective, this article aims to describe the processes of patrimonialisation, commodification, and touristification of ICH, especially of the Guatemalan Mayan fabrics. The ongoing movement of Guatemalan weavers to protect and vindicate the cultural value of this art brings to light the role of different actors that intervene in intangible cultural heritage and, of greater relevance, indigenous communities. The following analysis framework on the diverse conceptualisations of heritage, authenticity, commodification and touristification allows for a deeper understanding of the Mayan weavers’ situation. The methodology used in this article consists on a case study, through which the following main conclusions arise: the lack of protection of ICH of this case study given the complex definitions and categorisations; the need to identify the consequences of commodification and touristification of ancestral tapestries, highlighting the importance of tourism management from the communities; and, finally, the key role of women as transmitters and protectors of ICH, who have headed a process of movement and empowerment.

The Subject

The late B. E. Perry’s work on the stories of Aristomenes and Thelyphron in Apuleius’s Metamorphoses is a classic of its kind. Originally a by-product of his doctoral dissertation on Lucius of Patrae, it has stood the test of time as a critical analysis of Apuleius’s narrative style; Perry himself repeated his analysis with only minor changes of emphasis forty odd years later in The Ancient Romances, having energetically repelled a few attacks early in its career, and it holds the field still. His study on the two stories observes an effect which all readers sense in the text, perhaps without being aware of it as a distinct phenomenon, and traces this effect to certain causes which lie under the surface of the text. As he said: ‘I am trying to explain for myself and others the secret of that exceedingly strange and romantic effect which certain of (Apuleius’s) stories produce.’ He goes on to remark: ‘Only a part of this effect is produced by the subject matter as such’; that which is peculiar to Apuleius, ‘the unique element … which contributes most of a reader’s sense of mystification, even when he is not aware of it, is the absence of a natural and normally logical sequence of events …’

Scholarly Attention

Abstract: The inhabitable viaduct is one of the most intriguing design proposals of Le Corbusier. Scholarly attention has focused upon the curvilinear megastructures designed for Rio de Janeiro and Algiers and their connection to the Ville Radieuse, downplaying the introduction of the inhabitable viaduct in São Paulo, and its connection with earlier proposals for Montevideo and Buenos Aires, the Plan Voisin and Ville Contemporaine, when Le Corbusier himself suggested that all these designs make up a sequence. The inhabitable viaduct has been understood as a reaction to non-European landscape and the airplane view, standing for a new sense of the organic in Le Corbusier’s work. A closer inspection of these designs along with Le Corbusier’s pertinent texts and imagery suggests that his architecture from 1929 onwards changes in degree rather than nature. The genesis of the inhabitable viaduct is seen as part of a sequence of topological transformations, informed by specific but generalizable site conditions and a host of precedents, but also, and primarily, as an alternative in Le Corbusier's controversial quest for monumentalizing the modern metropolis. Resumen: El viaducto habitable es una de las propuestas más intrigantes de Le Corbusier. Los estudiosos han concentrado su atención en las mega-estructuras curvilíneas proyectadas para Río de Janeiro y Argelia y en sus conexiones con la Ville Radieuse, menospreciando la introducción del viaducto habitable en São Paulo, y su conexión con las propuestas anteriores para Montevideo y Buenos Aires, el Plan Voisin y Ville Contemporaine, cuando Le Corbusier mismo sugirió que todos eses proyectos forman una secuencia. El viaducto habitable ha sido entendido como una reacción al paisaje no-europeo y a la vista del avión, indicando un sentido nuevo de lo orgánico en la obra de Le Corbusier. Una inspección mas detenida de eses proyectos a la luz de textos e imágenes pertinentes del arquitecto sugiere que su arquitectura del 1929 en adelante sufre un cambio de énfasis y no de naturaleza. La génesis del viaducto habitable se ve aquí como parte de una secuencia de transformaciones topológica, que son informadas tanto por condiciones de situación a la vez específicas y susceptible de generalización cuanto por un conjunto de precedentes, pero también, y primariamente, como una alternativa en la búsqueda controvertida de Le Corbusier por monumentalizar la metrópolis moderna.  Keywords: Inhabitable viaduct/ South America/ Algiers/ Monumentality/ Landscape/ Urbanism.

This paper critically addresses the issue of gender discrimination in gender-disparaging humour. The aim of the paper is to review the research conducted within the studies of humour, gender, and language, on the issue of whether and how gender-disparaging humour influences the creation and perpetuation of gender-discriminatory stereotypes and, if it does, whether such humour warrants censorship and whether it is discriminatory inherently or depending on other factors. The paper comprises influential theories of humour and relevant theories from gender studies, used in conjunction to frame the critical analysis of gender disparagement in jokes. The analysis is based on gender-related cultural patterns in Serbia and Anglo-American countries, compared through short canned jokes in English and their translatability into Serbian.

Os lugares sagrados são espaços delimitados por indivíduos que lhe conferem significado diferenciado. Mesmo assim, esta característica não impede que tais espaços sejam apropriados como atrativos turísticos. O Centro Bom Jesus de Nazaré é um exemplo de como esses dois fenômenos estão relacionados. Localizado no Sítio da Jacuba, em Natividade (TO), o espaço é composto por monumentos escultóricos a céu aberto construídos por Mãe Romana a partir de suas visões místicas. Pela singularidade do seu trabalho, o sítio atrai visitantes ao longo do ano. Este artigo analisou a dinâmica neste lugar que é sagrado e turístico ao mesmo tempo, por meio de uma revisão histórica sobre os seguintes conceitos: sagrado, turismo e legado cultural; partindo também da percepção dos sujeitos que nele habitam. A pesquisa, de caráter qualitativo, foi construída a partir de revisão bibliográfica e entrevista semiestruturada in situ com a entrevistada 01, irmã de Mãe Romana. Por meio delas, foi possível perceber uma relação ambivalente a respeito da prática turística que ali acontece, em que ela contribui para a valorização do lugar e de seus moradores, ao mesmo tempo em que é promotora de instabilidades. Este trabalho se apresenta como um passo inicial na análise da atividade turística como vetor de valorização deste patrimônio, ao mesmo tempo em que propõe uma análise crítica sobre seus impactos.Palavras-chave: Turismo; Legado Cultural; Mãe Romana de Natividade; Sagrado.  MOTHER ROMANA'S SACRED LABYRINTH: TOURISM AND CULTURAL HERITAGE IN BOM JESUS DE NAZARÉ CENTER IN NATIVIDADE, TOCANTINS, BRAZIL Abstract: Sacred places are spaces delimited by certain individuals that give it a differentiated meaning. Even so, this feature does not prevent such spaces from being used as tourist attractions. Bom Jesus de Nazaré Center is an example of how these two phenomena are related. Located on the site of Jacuba, in Natividade (state of Tocantins, Brazil), the space is composed of open air sculptural monuments built by Mãe Romana according to her mystical visions. Due to the unique characteristics of her work and monuments, the site attracts many visitors throughout the year. This article analyzed the dynamics in this place that is sacred and touristic at the same time, through a historical review on the following concepts: sacred, tourism and cultural heritage; and from the perception of the individuals who inhabit it. The research, of an exploratory nature, was built from bibliographic review and semi-structured interview in situ in Natividade. Through them, it was possible to perceive an ambivalent relation regarding the tourist practice that happens there, in which it contributes to the valorization of the place and of its inhabitants, at the same time that tourism can produce conflicts due to the flow of people. This work is presented as an initial step in the analysis of tourism activity as a vector for valuing this heritage, while proposing a critical analysis of its impacts.Keywords: Tourism; Cultural Legacy; Romana Mother of Natividade; Sacred.

AbstractSome microorganisms can be used as bioremediation agents, in biocleaning treatments, to remove undesired sulphates, nitrates and organic matter from cultural heritage surfaces. Graffiti materials (mainly spray paints) are now included in the list of materials that can be biocleaned, with studies on this topic being initiated just over 5 years ago. Research on the bioremoval of graffiti is continuing and on a promising track. This chapter reports a critical analysis of studies of the bioremoval of graffiti carried out in recent years, which are compared with similar studies of the removal of salts (mainly nitrates and sulphates) and organic matter conducted in the last thirty years. Likewise, the present challenges and ways of overcoming them are addressed towards developing a complete protocol for the use of bioremediation to remove graffiti, with particular emphasis on the use of the method for cleaning facades and buildings.
