Towers of evil: Jean-Claude Brisseau

Author(s):  
David Vasse

Jean-Claude Brisseau’s early forays into filmmaking were inseparable from the social milieu he knew best, the blighted world of the social housing projects surrounding Paris and the particular institutions, formal or informal, that shape the prospects of French youth in particular. In the space of a decade, from the late 1970s to the year of the release of De Bruit et de fureur, Brisseau crafted a metaphysical approach to suburban existence that bears witness to the delinquency, disquiet and dereliction that parch the imaginary. Beneath the despoiled surface of ordinary things, the director consistently unveils a maleficent, almost supernatural essence that compounds the suffering of the human animal. Youth who routinely strive for transcendence, or simply for the right to receive an education, are brought to the brink of crisis. Focusing on violent death in La Vie comme ça (1978), on the instrumentalisation of relationships in L’Échangeur (1981) and on the Shakespearean vision informing De Bruit et de fureur (1988), the author paints a portrait of a humanity torn between elevation and despoilment, between nothingness and the light.

Straipsnio tikslas – nagrinėti specifinį spaudos vaidmenį viename iš visuomenės raidos etapų: kuriantis naujai socialinei struktūrai, pilietinei bendruomenei ir jai aktyviai dalyvaujant pirmoje viešosios srities raidos pakopoje. Lietuvoje, kaip ir kitose posovietinėse šalyse, kuriose totalitarinės ideologijos dominavimas deformavo tiesos ir identiteto sampratas, keičiantis visuomeninei struktūrai, psichologinio saugumo poreikis ir lūkesčiai, kuriant geresnę ateitį, buvo susiję su spauda, tuo laikotarpiu atlikusia kompensuojamąją funkciją. Įvykiai Rytų Europoje, buvusioje Sovietų sąjungoje iki 1990-ųjų skatino ginkluotus konfliktus. „Dainuojanti revoliucija“ Baltijos valstybėse tyrėjų vertinama politinės raidos modelio aspektu. „Nacionalizmas be žiaurumo“ suvokiamas kaip fenomenas, sąlygotas baltų istorinio ir kultūrinio paveldo, palyginti su agresyviu serbų, kroatų, kaukaziečių nacionalizmu, pasireiškusiu išsivaduojant iš sovietinio „tautų kapinyno“.Neginkluotą nacionalinį pasipriešinimo judėjimą ir skirtingų visuomenės grupių Lietuvoje, Latvijoje ir Estijoje dialogą organizavo ir rėmė laisvėjanti spauda. Visuomenės informavimo priemonių, kaip įtakingos socialinės jėgos, analizė; spaudos, mobilizuojančios, koordinuojančios ir drąsinančios žmones atvirai reikšti savo nuomonę, vaidmens identifikavimas bus naudingas tolesnei tyrimų, nagrinėjančių Lietuvos atgimimo spaudą ir jos raidos etapus 1988–1991 metais, eigai. Visuomenės teisė gauti informaciją yra politinė, spaudos sąsajų su pilietine visuomene kontekstualizavimas svarbus kaip teorinis pagrindas, tiriant medijų funkcijas bei uždavinius demokratėjant visuomenei ir palankios piliečių sąmoningumui vystytis kuriant aplinką. Ši tema nėra tirta, XX a. devintojo dešimtmečio Lietuvos žiniasklaida apžvelgiama tik istoriografinės analizės aspektu, nepakanka dėmesio laisvėjančiam žiniasklaidos diskursui ir jo įtakai vertybių kaitos požiūriu.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: visuomeniniai pokyčiai, spaudos vaidmuo, spaudos laisvė, žurnalistinė atsakomybė, viešoji erdvė, piliečiai.Media, change and civil societyJolita Linkevičiūtė-Rimavičienė SummaryThe purpose of the article is to attract attention to the role of press and its meaning in the context of civil society in one of the developmental stages of democracy. After the social structure had changed in Lithuania, as in other post soviet countries where the totalitarian ideology deformed the concepts of truth and identity, the need and expectations of psychological security to create a better future were directly related to the press.On the grounds of political philosophy, the imperative of public space as an imperative of a basic democracy institution which appears when the members of community create and support it, is analyzed. Analyzing the way in which the press as one of the governmental blocks participates in the maintenance of public space because of itself and represents the citizens, shows the level of public discussion quality and community information. The right of society to receive information is political since the awareness guarantees the realization of universal freedom; the purification of press links with civil society is important as a theoretical basis when examining the role of media in the periods of societal changes.

En contextos de crisis económica, es un fenómeno reconocible el intento de quienes vieron extinguido su contrato de trabajo por cierre de empresa, de reactivar la actividad productiva, constituyendo sociedades limitadas que, con mimbres distintos a los de la economía social, reactivan la actividad de aquella mercantil insolvente o concursada aprovechando su experiencia laboral y los contactos con antiguos proveedores y clientes. Dicha “reconstrucción” de la empresa quebrada se percibe en muchos casos, por el Fondo de Garantía Salarial, como un fenómeno sucesorio que elimina el derecho de dichos trabajadores a percibir las indemnizaciones derivadas de aquella extinción contractual que el órgano de garantía no considera como tal. En este trabajo pretendemos distinguir aquellos supuestos en los que concurre la auténtica sucesión de empresa que neutraliza la intervención del Fondo de Garantía Salarial, de aquellos otros casos en que, siguiendo la interpretación flexibilizadora de nuestros Tribunales ante un panorama de destrucción y escasez del empleo como el actual, se considera compatible la compensación indemnizatoria por el empleo perdido con la nueva prestación laboral que surgió de las cenizas de la vieja empresa.   In contexts of economic crisis, the attempt of those who saw their contract expired due to the closing of the company is a recognizable phenomenon, revive productive activity, constituting limited societies that, with different tools from the social economy, they revive the activity of that insolvent or bankrupt company taking advantage of their work experience, and contacts with former suppliers and customers. This “reconstruction” of the bankrupt company is perceived in many cases, by the Wage Guarantee Fund, as a succession phenomenon which eliminates the right of such workers to receive compensation arising from that contractual extinction which the guarantee body does not consider as such. In this project we intend to distinguish those assumptions in which the true company succession concurs and which neutralizes the intervention of the Wage Guarantee Fund, those other cases in which, following the flexible interpretation of our courts faced with a panorama of destruction and scarcity of employment as the current, compensation for jobs lost with the new labour provision that arose from the ashes of the old company is considered to be compatible.

This chapter explores how pre-regeneration estates became devalued places, largely connected to neoliberalisation and austerity policies and effects. Five devaluation strands are analysed: overcrowding, landlord neglect, population transience, crime and disorder, and stigmatisation. Overcrowded families living in small flats were unable to transfer to larger properties because social housing has contracted, trapping them in dwellings that no longer felt like home – un-homing. Although properties and estates were physically solid, they had been neglected due to inadequate investment, repairs and maintenance services. Landlord transfers (from the Greater London Council to the borough councils), plus managerialist restructuring (outsourcing and cutting back caretakers), also contributed to tenants’ complaints about living in a worsening environment. London estates have become more transient places due to the Right-to-Buy because of increased private landlordism, tenants and Airbnb guests. Crime, fear of crime and anti-social behaviour were important issues at some estates, but less so at others. Estates have become symbolically devalued via mass media territorial stigmatisation which has been exacerbated by austerity-related ‘poverty porn’ TV programmes. Despite such devaluations, residents generally positively valued their homes and estates (Chapter 6), and there was no mass desire to leave unlike in the case of US public housing projects (Wacquant).

The general aims for the care of the elderly in Sweden are to ensure financial security, good housing, service, and care for the elderly. In this regard, two pieces of recent legislation apply: the Social Service Act of 1982 and the Health and Medical Services Act of 1983. The 1982 act emphasizes the right of the individual to receive public service and help at all stages of life; the 1983 act is intended to maintain a good standard of health and to provide care on equal terms for all. In summary, both laws emphasize that help is to be given to everyone who needs help to support himself or herself in everyday needs. Further, this help should be given in as normal a setting as possible. This means that society should help the elderly to remain in their homes for as long as possible, and that the integrity and autonomy of the elderly should be preserved in the home-care environment.

Introduction: the article is devoted to the problem of realization of the principle of social equity in the rules regulating housing relations. This problem is very relevant for the modern Russian society in which the housing problem is not solved. Though legal mechanisms in these relations also depend from economic but high-quality legal regulation also plays a serious role. The research objective is to check the hypothesis of existence of the principle of social equity in the Russian law, its involvement in regulation of the housing relations and insufficient realization on the example of some institutes. Methods: the research is based on a dialectic method, such logical methods as analysis, synthesis, deduction and also a system method. Analysis: there is a reasoning about existence of the principle of legal certainty in legal regulation and also the principles which are caused by essential qualities of the adjustable relations in the research. One of such principles is the principle of social equity. Its manifestation in regulation of the housing relations is analyzed. It is established that though this principle isn’t enshrined directly in the text of the law but it is implemented in court practice. In the housing law this principle is closely connected with category «the right to adequate housing». The need for the housing as a condition of physical existence of a person and the need for the housing of the quality providing the social dignity of a person are analyzed. The institute of rent of social housing along with the property can serve as the appropriate instrument of providing people with adequate housing, but isn’t deprived of essential shortcomings. Results: specific civil regulation of the housing relations does not fully consider the principle of social equity. Shortcomings of the institute of rent of social housing are revealed and also options of mitigation of these shortcomings (use of mechanisms of the tort liability and a so-called judicial penalty) are offered.

ResumoTiradentes é protegida pelo IPHAN desde 1938, através do tombamento do Conjunto Arquitetônico e Urbanístico. Seus principais monumentos têm proteção individual e dentre eles está o Chafariz de São José, edificado em 1749. É um dos maiores e mais bonitos do Brasil colonial e construído em blocos de quartzito. É cercado por uma mureta com banco. Em sua fachada há três carrancas que jorram água em tanque abaulado. Há um oratório com a imagem de São José de Botas e acima o brasão de armas da Coroa Portuguesa. Encerrando a composição foram instalados dois pináculos e um acrotério com uma cruz, ambos na mesma rocha. Na lateral direita está o tanque para as lavadeiras e na esquerda o tanque para dar água aos animais. O chafariz é abastecido por água do Bosque da Mãe D’Água, conduzida por um aqueduto rústico, feito com o mesmo material pétreo. A cidade foi escolhida para abrigar um Caso do BNDES – Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social para a restauração, revitalização de seus monumentos e um Programa de Educação Patrimonial. Alguns monumentos já foram restaurados e entregues à comunidade, há obras em andamento e outras estão sendo licitadas para iniciarem ainda em 2016. O chafariz passou por obra de restauro e já foi entregue. O presente trabalho pretende apresentar o Chafariz de São José como monumento significativo no contexto sociocultural de Tiradentes, bem como analisar sua obra de restauro que acabou de ser concluída.Palavras Chave: Chafariz de São José, restauro, Tiradentes.  AbstractFOUNTAIN OF SÃO JOSÉ, CITY OF TIRADENTES, AND ITS INTERVENTION OF RESTORATION. The city of Tiradentes has been protected by IPHAN since 1938, under category “Architectonic and Urban Set”. Among the protected monuments is the Chafariz de São José – a public fountain built in 1749, surrounded by a short wall and stone bench. In the main facade there are three scowls that pour water. There is an oratory with the statue of São José de Botas, made in terracotta and above it is the Portuguese crown’s coat of arms. Enclosing the composition there are two pinnacles and a cross. On the right side we have a tank for the washerwomen and on the left we have a tank for animals. The water comes from Bosque da Mãe D’Água and is brought to the fountain through an aqueduct, made of quartzite blocks. The city was chosen to receive BNDES funding to restore historical buildings and a Heritage Education Project. Some of them have been restored and delivered to the community, some of them will still be restored. The present work intends to introduce Chafariz de São José as an important edification in the social and cultural life of Tiradentes and analyze its restoration.Keywords: Chafariz de São José, restauration, Tiradentes


The urgency of this topic is unmistakable and due to the fact that it is undergoing significant changes to date. Namely, the provision of a housing subsidy today has a new form. The article determines what kind of social assistance it offers, such as state aid for the payment of housing and communal services, discloses and justifies the procedure for receiving citizens of this type of state social assistance provided by the state, which cares for the needy citizens and their family members. Article 46 of the Constitution of Ukraine specifies the right of a person to social protection at the expense of budgetary funds. In accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Housing and Communal Services”, adopted in 2017 by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, it noted that the benefits and subsidies for the payment of housing and communal services from January 1, 2019 are paid to the consumer in cash and in the manner determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. The important issue, in this case, is that such assistance for the payment of housing and communal services should have targeted use and was directed specifically to pay for such services. The article analyzes the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 1176 in which we can see the mechanism of the targeted use of budgetary funds provided by the state to provide subsidies to the population. Therefore, a fair decision is that if the family has conscientiously referred to the use of residential communications and saved energy resources, water, heat energy, gas, by the results of the heating season, it can use at its own discretion and for its own purposes the balance of funds remaining as a result of economical use and savings of housing the subsidy that is on her account. Such a form of savings is interesting primarily for the family itself, which should stimulate an individual, who has a right to receive such a subsidy, reasonable and rational use of residential communications provided by the state. From 2019, subsidies were provided to citizens for the payment of housing and communal services in cash in two models of monetization, which operate simultaneously: 1) transfer of funds at the central level to a bank account in state bank “Oschadbank” with a special regime of use, followed by their referral for payment of housing and communal services; 2) the provision of housing subsidies in cash directly to the recipient. It reveals an understanding of monetization the concept. Monetization is a process of transition from the transfer of subsidies in the cashless form to the accounts of providers of housing and communal services to the provision of subsidies to citizens in cash. The purpose of such monetization is to create a transparent mechanism for providing housing subsidies and to encourage citizens to make economical, reasonable consumption. It is determined that today two models of monetization are introduced: cashless money form and cash form. Upon receipt of any information related to the appointment of a housing subsidy, the recipients of the subsidy should apply to the social protection bodies of citizens.

Nghiên cứu được thực hiện nhằm đánh giá thực trạng phát triển nhà ở xã hội (NOXH) cho người có thu nhập thấp (TNT) tại một số đô thị trên địa bàn tỉnh Bình Định trên cơ sở thu thập số liệu từ các phòng ban chức năng và khảo sát thực địa. Kết quả nghiên cứu cho thấy phát triển NOXH tại tỉnh Bình Định đã giải quyết vấn đề về nhà ở cho 1.876 hộ TNT trong giai đoạn 2009-2019. Nguồn cung về NOXH cho người có TNT có sự thay đổi tích cực: giai đoạn 2018-2020 tăng gấp 12,55 lần so với giai đoạn 2009-2017. Các dự án NOXH cho người có TNT tập trung chủ yếu ở thành phố Quy Nhơn cho thấy sự đầu tư có trọng điểm, có thứ tự ưu tiên. Tỉnh đã huy động được các doanh nghiệp tư nhân tham gia đầu tư xây dựng NOXH cho người TNT. Tuy nhiên, nhiều dự án NOXH cho người có TNT chậm tiến độ hoặc không triển khai, chưa tiếp cận đúng người TNT có nhu cầu nhà ở, tình trạng sang nhượng NOXH không đúng quy định, chất lượng một số công trình chưa đảm bảo và công tác quản lý NOXH chưa đạt hiệu quả mong muốn. Trong nghiên cứu cũng đề xuất được một số giải pháp nhằm tăng hiệu quả tiếp cận NOXH cho người có TNT tại Bình Định. ABSTRACT This study was conducted to assess the status of social housing development for low-income people in some urban areas in Binh Dinh province based on data collection from functional departments and survey results. Research results showed that the development of social housing for low-income people in Quy Nhon city, An Nhon town and Bong Son town in Binh Dinh province has provided 1,760 apartments for people with low income in the period of 2009 - 2019. In this period, 10 housing projects for low-income people were implemented in the study area, of which 05 projects were launched for sale and 05 projects were delayed. The supply of social housing for low-income people has not met the targets, the management and development of social housing for low-income people in the study area is not strict. According to the social housing development plan, the total social housing supply will be 3.966 units in 2020 and 4.900.550 units in the period of 2021 - 2025. The study has proposed four solutions to increase the effectiveness of social housing development for low-income people in Binh Dinh.
