Rubens jako artysta-pedagog. Uczniowie „szkoły graficznej Rubensa”
Get PDFThe article aims to discuss the significant role of Rubens as teacher artist, who carried out his teaching mission in a school of graphics established in the 17th century, which interpreted his paintings and drawings. The text discusses the birth of the idea, the Master’s collaboration with his pupils, the hard years of searching for engravers who would meet the artist’s requirements, and selection and education of those who are now deemed outstanding in the “Rubens’ school of graphics”. The article emphasizes the inherent value of the years of working in a team, print making under the teacher’s strict eye, and the changes in the engravers brought about by his attitude. The author also focuses on the inheritors of Rubens’ art – the pupils who, inspired with their supervisor’s mastery, provided with knowledge and skills, would publish Rubens’ posthumous work and even used to establish their own schools of graphics
Black Ethiopians and the origin of ‘materia prima’ in Rubens’ images of Creation
No full textPeter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) included several black figures in his paintings, in particular in mythological and Christian scenes. Scholars, among which Elizabeth McGrath, have devoted a great deal of attention to Rubens' representation of Ethiopians, sometimes relating them to satyr-like, bacchanalian creatures in the company of Silenus, and in other cases as representatives of pagan people who became Christians. Relying largely on classical sources, McGrath further argued that in Rubens' bacchic scenes, black participants were manifestations of natural exuberance and endless joy, while the inclusion of the African man among the saved in the Last Judgement (1615-1616) supports the view that Rubens did not convey any racial stereotypes. Building upon McGrath's research, the author proposes alternative views of Rubens' symbolic approach to the black figure in both secular and religious contexts. The fascinating content of Rubens' Theoretical notebook plainly shows how this erudite painter was very much aware of modern natural philosophical debates and contemporary notions of Paracelsian alchemy. This article sketches Rubens' participation to an intellectual milieu wherein scientific subjects were discussed. For instance, Justus Lipsius (1547-1606) stated that knowledge of nature constituted an essential source of `philosophia moralis'. The allegorical reading of pagan myths and Christian narrative - a method encouraged by Lipsius - was conceived as an important tool for understanding the natural world. Commenting on early seventeenth-century discussions on the prime matter and its fundamental role in the creation of the universe and every existing being, the author argues that Rubens' depiction of black Ethiopians might include symbolic references to alchemy and other scientific disciplines of his time. The intertwinement of the spiritual and material worlds makes Rubens a fascinating artistic interpreter of Lipsius' revival of Stoic physics
Pagamento por serviços ambientais (PSA) no âmbito do projeto "Conservador das Aguas" (Extrema/MG): uma análise da efetividade socioambiental
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências Jurídicas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Direito, Florianópolis, 2015.Esta pesquisa tem a finalidade de investigar o Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais (PSA), instrumento econômico-jurídico, relativamente recente na Política Ambiental, que se difundiu de modo acelerado em distintas regiões do Brasil. Múltiplos formatos de PSA desenvolvem-se no presente, devido, principalmente, à ausência de um marco regulatório federal, o que leva a crer que o arcabouço teórico da Economia e do Direito, individualmente considerados, ainda é insuficiente para retratar o instituto em todas as suas nuances. Assim, esta dissertação pretende trazer algumas respostas para a ciência jurídica em relação à efetividade socioambiental do fenômeno, utilizando, para tanto, um estudo de caso como método de pesquisa, a partir da pesquisa documental e de entrevistas estruturadas e semiestruturadas, com o objetivo de delimitar a hipótese. Selecionou-se como campo de observação o Projeto "Conservador das Águas", desenvolvido pela Prefeitura Municipal de Extrema/MG, em razão do seu pioneirismo, da durabilidade razoável do programa (dez anos de existência) e da região estratégica onde é implementado. O subsídio teórico traçado na primeira parte do trabalho configura-se numa compreensão do paradigma reducionista predominante na Economia, que desconsidera a relevância da biosfera na sustentação do processo econômico, e da emergência da Economia Ecológica que, conectada ao pensamento complexo e à criação de um campo de convergência entre a economia e a ecologia, apresenta-se como um caminho a ser buscado pelo Direito no panorama de crise ambiental contemporânea. A sistematização das fisionomias e características do PSA no cenário internacional e nacional auxilia no entendimento do instituto sob a perspectiva de suas variadas tipologias de aplicação. A análise do caso concreto, realizada na terceira parte, serve de suporte às constatações delimitadas pelas variáveis de pesquisa, que consistiram em examinar se o projeto "Conservador das Águas" poderia prover melhorias na qualidade ambiental da região delimitada, sobretudo na qualidade da água, biodiversidade e cobertura florestal (primeira variável); e, conjuntamente, se o programa de PSA induziu uma sensibilização ecológica nos atores sociais participantes (segunda variável). A estrutura metodológica trazida pela coleta de dados permitiu inferir que o PSA, no âmbito do Projeto "Conservador das Águas", tende a contribuir à melhoria ambiental na área de sua abrangência e; conjuntamente, pode promover, em certa medida, a conscientização social do público envolvido. Em conjunto com as variáveis, trabalhou-se com os "gargalos" identificados no diagnóstico do estudo de caso, com o escopo de que a pesquisa não perdesse sua tarefa de contribuir com o aperfeiçoamento do instituto, além de atender o seu caráter crítico. As considerações partidas do contexto de Extrema induzem à constatação de que o PSA, como instrumento de política estatal, deve ser estudado pela ciência jurídica, de forma que ele seja moldado para a construção de uma racionalidade alinhada à Economia Ecológica.Abstract : This research aims to investigate the Payment for Environmental Services (PES), an economical-legal instrument, relatively recent in Environmental Policy. The PES has spread in an accelerated way, to various regions of Brazil. Multiple formats of PES are developing, mainly due to the absence of federal regulation, which leads us to believe that Economy and Law, individually, are insufficient to describe this institute in all its nuances. From this reality, this study seeks to answer the legal and environmental effectiveness of this social phenomenon, using as backbone a case study as research method, starting from document research and both structured and semi- structured interviews, as means of narrowing the research object. The object of observation is the program ?Conservador das Águas? (?Water Preserver?, created by the City of Extrema/MG, due to it being pioneer of its kind, its long duration (ten years) and the strategic region of its installation. The hypothetical construction dialogues with the theory brought on in the first chapter of the study: that classical Economics Theory disregards the importance of the biosphere in the economics process, and due to this disregard, the movement known as Ecological Economics, linked to complex thinking, has emerged as a new path to follow for Law scholars, especially in this current panorama of environmental crisis. A thorough systematization of the characteristics of PES throughout the world helps understanding the institute fully. Proceeding, the third chapter aims to verify if the case study supports the study?s variables: ?can the project improve environmental quality, such as water quality, biodiversity and forest cover?; and also, has the PES project induced ecological sensibility onto the social participants?.? The collection of data allowed a conclusion that the project, in a way, has a tendency of contributing both to the environmental improvement, and to the ecological sensibility of the social actors involved. Also mentioned were the so-called obstacles to the project?s success. To sum up, the context of the PES project in Extrema/MG allows us to asseverate that PES, as an instrument of state policy, must be thoroughly studied by Law scholars, in a way that its objectives may be aligned in the pursuit of rationality, connected to Ecological Economics
Visual argumentation in the illustrated art book : Robert Druwé’s ‘Rubens, Naam- en Jaartaltechniek’ (1944)
No full textThis paper frames within the study of the use of photographic reproductions in the twentieth-century illustrated art book and focuses on the publication Rubens, Naam- en Jaartaltechniek by Robert Druwé (Drukkerij-Uitgeverij De Bièvre, 1944). This publication was widely distributed in Belgium and is part of the Rubenianum’s library collection. It presents an intriguing case study to examine how photographic reproductions of Rubens' oeuvre are reconfigured into the idiom of the book and how reproductions and details in particular are actively employed to carry an argument and to guide the reader.
In this publication, Druwé seeks to demonstrate how Rubens concealed signatures and dates on his paintings and attempts to display formal similarities between two paintings. For this, the author relies on details from photographic reproductions. Not only does Druwé use extreme close-ups to locate this concealed data, but the author also supplements his argument with notes and markings that he himself has added to these details. Some works are zoomed in to the extent that the detail becomes unrecognizable. Of the black king, seen in Rubens’ De Aanbidding door de Koningen (1624), Druwé selects a detail of the king’s face. A page later, the author adds a detail of the king’s left eye in which Rubens' signature would be discernible. Other details are mirrored, turned upside down, and unconventionally framed to carry Druwé’s argument. The details always appear in pairs, with the left- hand detail containing Druwé's compelling annotation. In this sense, the details also seem to follow the logic of the book and of the double page.
This paper pays particular attention to the ways in which the (art) book is invoked as a medium. What role do the materiality and structure of the book play? How do image and language interact? Do the selection, framing, and placement of details on the page of the art book generate a shift in meaning

DISTOPIA E CIDADE EM UM PIANO PARA CAVALOS ALTOS, DE SANDRO WILLIAM JUNQUEIRA
Get PDFThe present work aims to analyze the city in a dystopian context in the work Um piano para cavalos (2012), by the contemporary Portuguese writer Sandro William Junqueira. City studies in the literature are relevant to reflect on social relations in an context of rapid transformations motivated by economic and political issues. The city, which was once considered a welcoming place, becomes a field of disputes with an increasingly segregating reality. The study is based on the view of Gregory Claeys (2017) e Tom Moylan (2016), regarding reflections on dystopia; Carl Abbott (2016), about dystopian city; for understanding the socio-spatial conflict, the vision of David Harvey (2014). An entropic city reaches its peak in contemporary times, especially with the presence of globalization, questionable political management, wars, aggressions to the environment, social control, among other problems. It is in this context that dystopian literature emerges, with the possibility of reflection on urban problems, through narratives that build potential scenarios from the current reality. The book A piano for tall horses, by Sandro William Junqueira, provides the dystopian metaphor of contemporary times, putting on stage a city based on social control and segregation that is imposed by zones, whose ruling class legitimizes privileges. In the face of this authoritarian scenario, a resistance group that provides a hopeful perspective, characterizing a strand of dystopian fiction called critical dystopia.El presente estudio tiene como objetivo analizar la ciudad en un contexto distópico en la obra Um piano para cavalos altos (2012), del escritor portugués contemporáneo Sandro William Junqueira. Los estudios de la ciudad en la literatura son relevantes para reflejar sobre las relaciones sociales en un contexto de rápidos cambios, motivados por cuestiones económicas y políticas. La ciudad, anteriormente considerada un sitio acogedor, se convierte en un campo de disputas con una realidad cada vez más segregadora. El estudio se ampara en la visión de Gregory Claeys (2017) y Tom Moylan (2016), en cuanto a las reflexiones sobre distopía; Carl Abbott (2016), sobre ciudad distópica; David Harvey (2014), para la visión sobre los conflictos socioespaciales. Una ciudad entrópica llega a su punto máximo en la contemporaneidad, sobre todo ante la presencia de la globalización, administraciones políticas cuestionables, ataques al medio ambiente, control social y tantos otros problemas. Es en este contexto que surge la literatura distópica, con posibilidad de reflexión sobre problemas urbanos, a través de narrativas que construyen escenarios potenciales a partir de la realidad actual. El libro Um piano para cavalos altos proporciona la metáfora distópica de los días contemporáneos, luciendo una ciudad basada en el control social y segregación que se impone por zonas, cuya clase dominante valida privilegios. Frente a ese escenario autoritario, un grupo de resistencia propone una perspectiva esperanzadora, caracterizando una vertiente de ficción distópica definida como distopía crítica.
