Albert Smith e il Monte Bianco: la prima spettacolarizzazione delle Alpi
Get PDFIl contributo propone un’indagine su Albert Smith, figura di spicco della cultura popolare della Londra vittoriana. Smith
nel 1851 raggiunge la vetta del Monte Bianco e, tornato a Londra, trasforma la sua avventura in un libro e in uno
spettacolo teatrale, andato in scena per 6 anni. Nel suo show, Smith riprende in forma di narrazione i suoi testi, ai
quali aggiunge panorami mobili, diorami e scenografie. Smith è qui indagato come personaggio chiave nella storia del
Monte Bianco per il passaggio nell’immaginario, da luogo del sublime romantico a destinazione turistica. Il contributo
si propone di ricostruire il legame tra Smith e Monte Bianco attraverso una pluralità di prospettive, coniugando aspetti
della ricerca più connessi ad un approccio letterario ed altri più legati alla relazione ampia tra geografia e letteraturaThis contribution presents a research on Albert Smith, author and leading figure in the popular culture of Victorian Lon-
don in the mid-nineteenth century and his connection with the Mont Blanc, through his life and works. Smith reached
the summit of the Mont Blanc in 1851. Back in London, he transformed his adventure into a book and into a show,
staged every day for 6 years. Albert Smith is a key character in the passage into the imagination of the Mont Blanc, from
a place of the sublime to a mass tourist destination. The paper aims at reconstructing the link between Smith and the
Mont Blanc through a plurality of perspectives, combining aspects closely related to a literary approach and others linked
to the geography of literature.La contribution propose une enquête sur Albert Smith, une figure marquante de la culture populaire dans la ville de Lon-
dres à l’époque victorienne. En 1851, Smith atteint le sommet du Mont Blanc et, de retour à Londres, il transforme son
aventure en un livre et une pièce de théâtre, qui sera mise en scène pendant six ans. Dans son spectacle, Smith reprend ses
textes sous forme narrative, auxquels il ajoute des panoramas mobiles, des dioramas et des décors. Smith est ici investigué
comme un personnage clé de l’histoire du Mont-Blanc, pour la transition dans l’imaginaire, d’un lieu du sublime roman-
tique à une destination touristique. La contribution a pour objet la reconstruction du lien entre Smith et le Mont-Blanc
à travers une pluralité de perspectives, combinant des aspects de la recherche plus liés à une approche littéraire et d’autres
plus liés à la relation générale entre la géographie et la littérature
"Mechanisms of modal and amodal interpolation": Postcript
No full textPresents some additional comments by the current author regarding his original article Mechanisms of modal and amodal interpolation (see record 2007-05396-010). This debate has evolved to the point where there is now some agreement that there are significant commonalities between modal and amodal representations and processes. However, disagreements remain about the interpretation of experimental results. Some of these disagreements, along with points of agreement, are discussed. There has been increasing research activity on the physiological side of this issue, and the next few years may provide much more definitive evidence about the relationship between modal and amodal representations

Relação conceitual entre identidade organizacional e competência essencial: implicações para gestão do conhecimento
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia e Gestão do ConhecimentoEsta dissertação tem como objetivo compreender a relação entre a identidade organizacional e a competência essencial. Origem, relações conceituais e metodologias de identificação dão suporte às análises e à construção de relações teóricas e às práticas de gestão. A identidade organizacional é um constructo coletivo, suscita a interação entre: (a) os níveis individuais e coletivos de análise, (b) a cognição do indivíduo sobre o que é a organização, resultante da relação dialética entre cognição coletiva compartilhada e (c) as cognições individuais socialmente construídas. Refere-se à pergunta "quem somos nós enquanto organização" (ALBERT; WHETTEN, 1985). A competência essencial é compreendida como uma capacidade especial da organização e distinguida se satisfizer três critérios: contribuir significativamente para o benefício de um cliente ou produto; ser competitivamente única e, como tal, deve ser difícil para os concorrentes imitar; e proporcionar o acesso potencial a uma ampla variedade de mercados (HAMEL E PRAHALAD, 1990). Este estudo teórico evidencia a relação entre identidade organizacional e competência essencial, mostrando que a identidade pode ser uma competência Essencial da organização, pode servir de apoio ou ameaça à construção de novas competências, é aguçada com os processos de mudança, tem implicações no processo de tomada de decisão, e, consequentemente sobre a Gestão do Conhecimento.This study is aimed at understanding the relationship between organizational identity and core competence. Origin, conception relationships and identification methodology give support to analyses, theoretical relationships and management practices. Organizational identity is a collective construct that leads to: (a) interaction between individual and collective levels, (b) the individual perception about what the organization is, which results from the dialetic relationship between collective shared knowledge and (c) personal knowledge socially acquired. Organizational identity refers to the question #who we are as an organization# (ALBERT; WHETTEN, 1985). Core competence is understood as a special organization ability that is characterized by tree criteria: to contribute significantly to a costumer or product benefict; to be unique so that it can hardly be imitated by its competing companies and to potentially permit the access to a large variety of markets (HAMEL E PRAHALAD, 1990). This theoretic study is focused on the relationship between the Organizational Identity and the Core Competence and shows that the Identity can be a Core Competence of an organization, can support or be a drawback to new competences development, increases during changing processes, play an important role in the decision making processes and, as a matter of fact, in Knowledge Management
The relationship between civic attitudes and voting intention : an analysis of vocational upper secondary schools in England and Singapore
Get PDFFrom 2009 to 2011, a team from the Centre for Learning and Life Chances in Knowledge Economies and Societies carried out a mixedmethods study of young people in England and Singapore. With regard to civic attitudes, the study showed that there was a greater sense of political self-efficacy and collective (school) efficacy in Singapore than in England. In addition, the group in Singapore scored higher on future voting relative to the group in England. Further, while both political self-efficacy and collective (school) efficacy were correlated with future voting in England, only the latter was correlated in the case of Singapore. For some, the results may seem counter-intuitive. The article reflects on these results, particularly those relating to democratic outcomes
Spazi urbani, prassi sociali e istituti giuridici nella città “elettrica” di Albert Robida
Get PDFThe book of Albert Robida Le Vingtième Siècle, under the guise of a coming-of-age novel set within a tale of scientific anticipation, actually conceals an accurate and interesting description of the transformations induced on the city of Paris by the new electronic technologies and, above all, the impact of these on social behaviour (and formations) in the urban context. The framework traced by the author thus reveals a technological progress aimed in part at improving living conditions and the progress of the person, but within a general context in which the economic powers seem to be the real directors, profiting widely from the
transformations induced by technology
Imagem, Absurdo e revolta em Albert Camus
Get PDFThis article aims to investigate how the image is important for the reflections about the absurd and the rebellion in the philosophical thought of Albert Camus. For the author, the image provides the occasion for reflection and does not separate itself from it, since the thought by images is configured as a more integral thought, operating in the intercrossing of sensory experience and philosophical reflection. Thus, it can be said that Camus suggests to the philosophy of his time to think about the human condition from the dissolution of boundaries between the philosophical text and the literary narrative, proposing to the philosopher a refusal to the mere construction of conceptual systems that ultimately separate thought and experience. For Camus, such philosophy would be configured through the image, leading to a clear reflection of human existence.Este artigo pretende investigar como a imagem é preponderante para as reflexões sobre o absurdo e a revolta no pensamento filosófico de Albert Camus. Para o autor, a imagem fornece ocasião para a reflexão e não se separa desta, uma vez que o pensamento por imagens configura-se como um pensamento mais integral, operando no entrecruzamento da experiência sensível com a reflexão filosófica. Sendo assim, pode-se dizer que Camus sugere à filosofia de seu tempo pensar a condição humana a partir da diluição das fronteiras entre o texto filosófico e a narrativa literária, propondo ao filósofo uma recusa à mera construção de sistemas conceituais que, no limite, apartam pensamento e experiência. Para Camus, tal filosofia se configuraria por meio da imagem, conduzindo a uma reflexão lúcida sobre a existência humana
