A historiografia da educação francesa tem feito trabalhos instigantes sobre a pedagogia personalizada e comunitária, elaborada pelo educador jesuíta francês Pierre Faure. Em 1998, Anne-Maria Audic ...publicou «Pierre Faure s.j. 1904-1988: vers une pédagogie personnalisée et communautaire», livro que aborda a trajetória sócio-pedagógica do padre Faure. A pedagogia fauriana aparece sendo construída nas intervenções educativas desse padre jesuíta ecumênico, particularmente na segunda metade do século XX. Em 2008, foi colocado à lume um volumoso conjunto de textos de Pierre Faure sob o título «Précurseurs et Témoins d`un enseignement personnalisé et communautaire», em que ele analisa as contribuições inovadoras da pedagogia de autores antigos como Jean-Jacques Rousseau e Henri Pestalozzi e educadores do novecentos como Maria Montessori, Ovide Decroly e Célestin Freinet. No ano seguinte, Jean Marie Diem publicou «Pédagogie Personnalisée», que explora o legado pedagógico fauriano, mas avança na análise de experiências educativas contemporâneas. Estas três obras foram publicadas pela «Collection Sciences de l`Éducation da Éditions Don Bosco», dirigida por Guy Avanzini, e proporcionam uma visão consistente sobre a proposta pedagógica de Pierre Faure, construída desde os anos de 1940 até o falecimento de seu autor.

A fascinating and highly readable account of what it was like to be young and hip, growing up in East Germany in the 1950s and 1960s. Living on the frontline of the Cold War, young people were ...subject to a number of competing influences. For young men from the working class, in particular, a conflict developed between the culture they inherited from their parents and the new official culture taught in schools. Merging with street gangs, new youth cultures took shape, which challenged authority and provided an alternative vision of modernity. Taking their fashion cues, music and icons from the West, they rapidly came into conflict with a didactic and highly controlling party-state. Charting the clashes which occurred between teenage rebels and the authorities, the book explores what happened when gender, sexuality, Nazism, communism and rock 'n' roll collided during a period, which also saw the building of the Berlin Wall.
In the immediate aftermath of World War II, millions of German expellees were resettled into the new borders of Germany, but not into the parts of Germany that were occupied by France. Using a ...spatial regression discontinuity framework, I estimate the persistence of the population shock over a 20-year-period. Between 1945 and 1950, the inflow of people increased the population in municipalities where expellees could settle by 21.6 percent. The difference in population levels is highly persistent and remained 17.8 percent in 1970. The results suggest that population patterns in the region that I study were not determined by locational fundamentals.
We investigate whether properties in mixed-use developments have overall better financial performance than single-use properties. We select four cases that represent recent mixed-use developments in ...the United States, and compare key financial indicators for properties within and outside a half-mile radius from the project boundaries. Using data from the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries, our panel regression analysis shows that office and retail properties within the mixed-use geographies have 37% and 48% higher market values respectively than those outside. Total returns are also higher for office (67%) and retail (63%) within the radius. By contrast, we find no clear return premium for being located close to the mixed-use geographies for apartments. Our findings are mixed and probably support the developer and financier biases against the complexity of engaging in mixed-use projects.
El presente documento tiene como propósito plantear elementos de discusión cuyo objetivo de largo aliento es ampliar los estudios en torno a la forma como la publicidad puede dar lugar a la ...descripción, el análisis y la interpretación de las prácticas sociales y culturales que caracterizan cada época. De esta forma, se pretende iniciar la reflexión sobre la manera en que la sociedad incide en los modos de estructuración y funcionamiento de la publicidad, pero también sobre la forma en que ella (la publicidad) permite llevar a cabo una lectura, análisis y comprensión de la sociedad en la cual emerge. Entendida así, la publicidad, además de su papel como motor del desarrollo económico, social y cultural, puede ser concebida como un posible archivo historiográfico paralelo a la historiografía oficial, que permite indagar en las prácticas sociales y en los imaginarios simbólicos de los individuos insertos en ellas. Para lograrlo, se tomaron tres décadas de publicidad en Colombia: 1950, 1960 y 1970, registrados en la revista Cromos, y se realizó el análisis de algunos anuncios representativos desde la construcción visual y semiótica de las piezas, desde la forma lingüística enunciativa y, finalmente, desde el contexto social en términos de hechos y representaciones sociales propias de cada una de las décadas seleccionadas. El presente documento tiene como propósito plantear elementos de discusión cuyo objetivo de largo aliento es ampliar los estudios en torno a la forma como la publicidad puede dar lugar a la descripción, el análisis y la interpretación de las prácticas sociales y culturales que caracterizan cada época. De esta forma, se pretende iniciar la reflexión sobre la manera en que la sociedad incide en los modos de estructuración y funcionamiento de la publicidad, pero también sobre la forma en que ella (la publicidad) permite llevar a cabo una lectura, análisis y comprensión de la sociedad en la cual emerge.
Throughout the 1950s, a coalition of developers, politicians, and planners bulldozed vast areas of land deemed "slums" or "blighted" to make way for freeways, public and private housing projects, ...cultural centers, and skyscrapers. While the program was national, New York was ground zero, and the demolition and monumental reconstruction of the city created a distinctive urban sensorium, rooted in the new segregated landscapes of prosperous white private space and poor black public space. Novel Shocks situates these landscapes at the center of the midcentury novel, arguing that James Baldwin, Ralph Ellison, Patricia Highsmith, Ayn Rand, William Burroughs, Sylvia Plath, and Warren Miller all registered these new urban spaces as traumatic "shocks" that required new aesthetic forms. Rejecting older shock-based modernisms, these novelists forged a new modernism, which reimagined shock as a therapeutic force that would create a more flexible, self-reliant, and resilient subject that would nourish neoliberalism's roots. In offering a cultural prehistory of neoliberalism, Novel Shocks resituates the Cold War novel as a key archive for understanding neoliberalism's emergence and offers a more materialist and historically grounded account of neoliberalism's subjective, affective, and ideological structures.
Between 1950 and 1970, the ownership of some of the largest business conglomerates in India changed from British to Indian hands. Almost without exception, the firms formerly under the management of ...British conglomerates saw bankruptcy, nationalization, relative decline in corporate ranking, and on rare occasions, reinvention of identity. In Indian business history scholarship, this episode is underresearched, even though hypotheses on the transfer-cum-decline exist. Combining a new source, legal documents, with conventional ones, this article revisits the episode and suggests revisions to current hypotheses.
Beat Literature in Europe offers in-depth analyses of how European authors and intellectuals working in different kind of political contexts read, translated and appropriated American Beat literature ...from the late 1950s to the present.
Women and Mass Consumer Society in Postwar France examines the emergence of a citizen consumer role for women during postwar modernization and reconstruction in France, integrating the history of ...economic modernization with that of women and the family. This role both celebrated the power of the woman consumer and created a gendered form of citizenship that did not disrupt the sexual hierarchy of home, polity and marketplace. Redefining needs and renegotiating concepts of taste, value and thrift, women and their families drove mass consumer society through their demands and purchases at the same time that their very need to consume came to define them.
This article examines the impact of structural changes in the postwar film industry on the activities and effectiveness of the foreign distribution subsidiaries of American firms. As these ...subsidiaries saw their regular supply of films from their in-house Hollywood studios decline, they sought out alternative sources of product content, often from local markets. Unable to rely on the traditional “ownership” advantages bestowed on them by their parent firms, these subsidiaries increasingly needed to integrate into local networks and forge closer relationships with local producers and exhibitors. Our focus is on Italy, one of the most important film markets for US companies in the 1960s. We collect data on the box office revenues and screen time allocated to every film released into the first-run cinema market and compare the effectiveness of American versus Italian distributors in maximizing the exposure of their most popular films. We explore the attempts by US firms to form partnerships with Italian distributors and producers. Finally, we examine available archival records to reveal the detailed activities of US distribution offices in Italy and their attempts to integrate into local business networks. We conclude that while US subsidiaries did not fully succeed in becoming “insiders” within the Italian film industry in this period, they did actively work toward such an objective.
