Difficult Memories in Contemporary Museological Practice
No full textRemembrance and commemoration of traumatic historical past has become one of the major issues of the international museological practice over the last decades. By means of architectural and exhibition design the contemporary museum poses questions concerning history, memory, identity, alternative perceptions of the past and the present. These questions become crucial not only for the self-consciousness and self-identification of certain groups of people, but of the whole nations, or even of the entire society. The present essay briefly examines a number of these issues in relation to several memorial museums of the last three decades, and poses theoretical questions concerning future museological perspectives on the realm of difficult memories
Expansive Cultural Strategy in the Periphery of Europe: Example of Tenerife Arts Space and Castelo Branco Cultural Centre
No full textThe following paper will focus on the way in which European local authorities have dealt with cultural policies, urban regeneration, place branding, and community- building in the last two decades. Following the museological model of multifunctional art centre and adopting it within a peripheral urban context, local authorities aim to carry out a wide range of sociocultural, economic, and urban reforms. The research question is how this model is being applied in the European peripheral context, and what are the results of such cultural interventions. The methodological framework of the research is based on a detailed analysis of two multipurpose contemporary art centres – Tenerife Arts Space and Castelo Branco Cultural Centre – in a variety of aspects, such as architectural project, conceptual programme, key methods of interior design, impact on the local community and existing urban landscape
Art Museum in the Urban Landscape: The Role of Modern and Contemporary Art Institutions in the Urban Development of Frankfurt am Main
No full textThe 1980s was a significantly prolific period for the museum architecture in Germany, when a number of modern and contemporary art museums and exhibition halls were built. Apart from being a result of the new cultural policy, most of them were also destined to fulfil an important role in urban planning of the German state capitals.
Thus, the Frankfurt am Main city centre’s identity was completely redefined by creation of the Schirn (Schirn Kunsthalle, 1983 – 1986, Architekturbüro BJSS) and the Museum of Modern Art (MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst, 1983 – 1991, H. Hollein). Various aspects of these architectural projects will be analysed, in order to reveal the importance of the Frankfurt am Main art district for the urban development and architectural design over the subsequent decades.
This study considers creation of the Frankfurt am Main contemporary art district as a key step in the genesis of the conceptual model of cultural institution, capable to redesign the urban landscape in a radical way and to create new guidelines for its future development. The evolution and implementation of this model still remains a mainstream strategy in the international architectural and urban practice
Post-war Housing in Great Britain: Historical Premises, Governmental Policies and Cultural Tendencies
No full textThe paper is part of the ‘Back Home’ research project carried out by a group of PhD students from the Polytechnic University of Milan within the framework of the Paquebot Laboratory. The goal of the present research is to reveal historical premises and sociocultural circumstances that provided the basis necessary for the development of the British post-war housing.
As one of the major sociocultural and architectural phenomena in the modern history of Great Britain, the new residential development has been taking shape under the impact of new realities of the post-war life. A descriptive research method has been applied in order to determine the most significant among these realities, such as the exigency of rebuilding and reforming the country immediately after the World War II, economic upheaval of the next two decades, introduction of new governmental policies, multiple cultural tendencies – form the Swinging Sixties to the Electric Eighties –, and an intense critical debate of the period.
The study aims to answer the following research questions: what are the preconditions of the British post-war housing phenomenon, and what has determined the emergence of a new generation of architects ready to exploit new approaches to modernism and avant-garde in Great Britain in the 1950s-1980s. Special attention is paid to revealing innovative tendencies of art, fashion, music and cinema, which have transformed the country into the world’s cultural trendsetter for several decades and become a cardinal requirement for the residential development in post-war Great Britain

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: esboço de biografia
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em História, Florianópolis, 2015.Este esboço de biografia procura citar algumas imagens de Otto Maria Carpeaux: construções biográficas de naturezas múltiplas, elaboradas em contextos, por atores e sob condições igualmente díspares. Está constituído a partir de uma visão crítica da História, o que permite que ?outras imagens?, fragmentárias e não monumentais, também tenham espaço. Em diálogo com o princípio da montagem, este esboço apresenta-se em duas partes. Na primeira, Imagens possíveis, estão citadas as imagens elaboradas em vida e post mortem acerca do austríaco-brasileiro que nasceu em Viena em 1900, se exilou no Brasil em 1939 e morreu no Rio de Janeiro, em 1978. Na segunda, Montagens possíveis, apresentam-se duas possibilidades de exercício biográfico: pela leitura alegórica do documentário O velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), entendido como instrumento de intervenção no contexto ditatorial brasileiro e de uma reelaboração biográfica concernentes às suas experiências europeias; e pelo Caderno de imagens críticas, registro dos encontros em Carpeaux pelo meio de imagens críticas produzidas a partir da cesura do presente.Abstract : This biographical sketch attempts to quote some images of Otto Maria Carpeaux: various types of biographical constructions, carried out in different contexts by disparate authors under conditions just as distinct. It stems from a critical view of history, allowing for ?other images? fragmented and non-monumental ? to share the space.In dialogue with the montage principle, this sketch has two parts. The first, Possible Images, quotes the images produced during and after the life of the Austrian-Brazilian, who was born in Vienna in 1900, went to Brazil in exile in 1939 and died in Rio de Janeiro in 1978. The second part, Possible Montages, presents two possibilities of a biographical exercise: through the allegorical reading of documentary O Velho e o Novo (Otto Maria Carpeaux), understood as an instrument of intervention in the Brazilian dictatorship context and as a biographical retelling of the author?s European experiences; and through my Scrapbook of Critical Images, a record of the encounters in Carpeaux through critical images produced from the caesura of the present
