Bilder und Vorstellungen vom Lebensende im 19. Jahrhundert
No full textEine Geschichte des Todes zu schreiben scheint unmöglich, denn es gibt keine Zeugnisse von Sterbenden oder Toten. Aber es gibt Vorstellungen vom Lebensende, die zum Beispiel in Tagebüchern festgehalten wurden. Überliefert sind außerdem Symbole und Inszenierungen, so im 19. Jahrhundert der Trauerschmuck (Armbänder oder Ketten, geflochten aus dem Haar von Toten), Totenmasken und die Post-mortem-Fotografie (Bilder von frisch Verstorbenen). Anhand dieser Quellen schreibt Isabel Richter eine Kulturgeschichte des Todes. Sie vermittelt uns den kulturellen Umgang mit Trauer und dem Wissen um die Endlichkeit des Lebens, mit der wir uns trotz aller medizinischen Fortschritte stets werden arrangieren müssen

No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Educação. Programa de Pós-Graduação em EducaçãoConsiderando as crianças como produtoras de culturas infantis - com modos singulares de apropriação e criação nas diversas linguagens - esta investigação busca, a partir dos estudos advindos do campo da arte, - em particular da escultura - da filosofia, da sociologia da infância, da história, da psicologia, da antropologia social e da educação, sinalizar algumas bases teóricas e metodológicas que possibilitem olhar para as produções tridimensionais das crianças, promovendo-as enquanto esculturas plenas de valor estético, artístico e cultural, cultivando e ampliando assim, os processos de imaginação infantil. Para tal, realizou-se com as crianças -"brincantes de histórias" -, um mergulho em narrativas mitológicas universais e fantásticas da Ilha de Santa Catarina de modo a inspirar a criação escultórica das crianças; procurou-se promover e intensificar as experiências das crianças com esculturas de diversos estilos, tempos, dentro e fora dos museus da Ilha. Discute-se as relações entre os processos imaginativos infantis na criação escultórica, indicando-se a necessidade de diversificação das matérias disponibilizadas às crianças e dos tempos&espaços adequados para a fruição e a criação na linguagem da escultura. Todas estas ações e reflexões foram realizadas com um grupo de crianças de 4 a 5 anos de idade, inseridas numa instituição pública de educação infantil de Florianópolis-SC, visando, a contribuir para a valorização da infância e de sua produção cultural, no âmbito da construção de uma Pedagogia da Infância
The coevolution of renewable resources and institutions - implications for policy design
No full text This PhD thesis studies how natural renewable resources and institutions governing those resources mutually influence each other. Theoretical models are developed in which members of a small community have joint access to a common pool resource. We analyze under which circumstances social norms of cooperation evolve that effectively regulate resource exploitation, but also when those social norms break down, identifying obstacles for community governance. Furthermore, in the light of biological and social complexity this thesis analyzes how governmental policy should be designed if self-governance is not sufficient to protect the resource stock. The insights obtained are applied to the case of Arcto-Norwegian cod. An optimal management plan is developed that can be adapted to several policy objectives concerning the utilization of the fleet. In addition, management advice is given for the case that harvesting may trigger an evolutionary response of the fish stock. </p

No full textGlobalisation New Challenges: Macroeconomic, International Trade and Financial Issues
No full textThe world is currently witnessing the third wave of globalisation, certainly the most widely debated and fiercely contested. The first wave, known as the ‘Age of Exploration’, began with the Portuguese discovery of the sea route to India, in 1498, followed by the exploration of the American continent in the two subsequent centuries. The second wave took place in the nineteenth century, with the multiplication of international relations, much reinforced by unprecedented improvements in means of communication and transportation. By then, dozens of sophisticated stock and bond exchanges existed in many countries and financial integration attained levels comparable to those observed today. European investors were advised to internationally diversify financial applications, and English, French, Dutch and German capital flew in torrents to finance infrastructures in Russia, Asia, Africa and America. Most of these links were broken with the First World War, and subsequent episodes such as the Russian Revolution and the Great Depression contributed to maintain some degree of suspicion over international economic relations. The third wave of globalisation did not start until much later in the twentieth century, fostered by the coordinated action of politicians and economists.
Naturally, the globalisation phenomenon has been addressed from a variety of distinct perspectives. It was initially a matter for philosophers, concerned with the consequences of the annihilation of space, resulting from the development of the means of transportation, especially with the expansion of railways. Later, social scientists broadened the analysis and provided more comprehensive assessments of the causes and effects of increased cross border relations. More recently, the economic perspective has gained prominence, to the point of being currently common to confound the concept of globalisation with that of economic globalisation.
In economic terms, globalisation comprises the international flow of goods, services, capital and labour and has been greatly enhanced by both technological progress and a political will to overcome the barriers imposed by national boundaries. With uneven positive and negative effects across countries and societies, the globalisation of economic activities is a fertile source of new problems and challenges for decision makers, academics and practitioners.
In this book, some of the new challenges posed by globalisation to different research areas of the economic science are addressed. Attention is mainly focused on the implications of free trade and financial integration, but political consequences are also examined. The contributions of different authors have been selected from those presented and discussed at the 10th INFER International Conference, held in Évora, Portugal, coincidently close to the birth place of Vasco da Gama, the intrepid promoter of the first globalisation wave
