The Value in Comparing Organizational Fields and Forms
No full textFollowing the spirit of an earlier volume in the series focusing on ‘Comparative Approaches to Organizational Research’, the mandate of the current volume is to provide a comparative account of dynamics across two organizational fields – health care and higher education – and, subsequently, two specific types of organizational forms – hospitals and universities. In so doing, we take a broader perspective encompassing various conceptual and theoretical points of departure emanating from, mostly, the institutional literature in the social sciences (and its various perspectives), but also from public policy and administration literatures – of relevance to scholars and the communities of practice working within either field. In this introductory paper to the volume, we provide a brief overview of developments across the two organizational fields and illuminate on the most important scholarly traditions underpinning the study of both system dynamics as a whole as well as universities and hospitals as organizations and institutions. We conclude by reflecting on the implication of the volume’s key findings in regards to comparative research within organizational studies
Capital, Estado y Diplomacia: la internacionalización temprana de la industria de la construcción brasileña (1964-1979)
No full textEl propósito de este trabajo es investigar el papel desempeñado por el estado en facilitar el proceso de internacionalización de capital de la industria de la construcción en Brasil durante las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Sostenemos que las necesidades y características únicas de esta industria requirieron una convergencia específica de factores institucionales y medidas políticas para fomentar su desarrollo. Por lo tanto, sostenemos que una perspectiva integral de la industria en su conjunto es más efectiva que centrarse en empresas individuales al explicar este proceso. Utilizando un enfoque histórico y basándonos en datos del Instituto Brasileño de Geografía y Estadística (IBGE) y la Fundación João Pinheiro, construimos una narrativa que ilustra la evolución de las políticas estatales destinadas a crear un entorno propicio para la expansión de la industria. En particular, destacamos el impacto de la demanda estatal de proyectos de construcción a gran escala durante las décadas de 1960 y 1970. Esta demanda se facilitó a través de mecanismos como la provisión de crédito por parte del Banco Nacional de la Vivienda (BNH) y la propia requisición estatal para proyectos de construcción pesada. También exploramos cómo se utilizaron esfuerzos diplomáticos para cultivar relaciones con otros países, identificar posibles mercados internacionales y respaldar a la industria de la construcción nacional a medida que la demanda estatal comenzó a disminuir a finales de la década de 1970.The purpose of this paper is to investigate the role played by the state in facilitating the process of capital internationalization within the Brazilian construction industry during the 1960s and 70s. We argue that this industry's unique needs and characteristics necessitate a specific convergence of institutional factors and policy measures to foster its development. As such, we contend that a comprehensive perspective on the industry is more effective than singling out individual companies when explaining this process. Employing a historical approach and drawing on data from reputable sources such as the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the João Pinheiro Foundation, we construct a narrative that illustrates the evolution of state policies to create a conducive environment for the industry's expansion. In particular, we emphasize the impact of the state's demand for large-scale construction projects during the 1960s and 70s. This demand was facilitated through mechanisms such as credit provision by the National Housing Bank (BNH) and the state's requisition for heavy construction projects. We also explore how diplomatic endeavors were utilized to cultivate relationships with other countries, identify potential international markets, and support the domestic construction industry as state demand diminished in the late 1970s
Jorge Pinheiro - obra figurativa : referenciais/diferenciais
No full textIn the sequence of the dissertation, Jorge Pinheiro: The Referential (2010) [Master’s degree in Painting] in FBAUL, aiming at the figurative work of the author in the last decade of the 20th century and the first decade of the 21st century, the current project of research emerges, deepening the knowledge about the representation and figuration of the pictorial work produced during this period of time. The figurative painting of Jorge Pinheiro, produced over 1990-2010, resorting to models of the Model, is the representation of images culturally produced in images obscurely dreamt in the game Composition and Representation. Jorge Pinheiro states that he first starts from the titles he searches for in Literature. Provocative, the title intertwined with the representation reaches the observer. The recognition of the appropriated figurative fragments is the key to decoding his painting. The initial spectator is the one the author looks for. The myths and symbolic values are represented in the Painting. They are representations of representations on behalf of the shapes of power in Composition and Representation. The Symbol-Figures of Representation taken from Painting, Photography, Cinema, and Photojournalism are sublimated icons, corrupted or ruined in the artwork of Jorge Pinheiro. The artwork questions its legitimacy and simultaneously reiterates it, reflects the concept of originality in the work’s identity, identifies the first authors, and makes us think of the authorship of the second authors, highlighting the position of the artist in relation to society and to his own craft with historical background. The cultural image prevails in the game of representation and aesthetic discourse because the object of imitation is not an object but an idea. Reinventing the Memory recall legacy, the painting of Jorge Pinheiro is a permeable territory where Painting evokes Painting, Art, and Western Humanistic Values, allowing a whole generation to identify itself in the artwork and question our way of being in the worl

DUAS LEITURAS DE “JULIETA: CONTO FANTÁSTICO”, DE PINHEIRO CHAGAS
No full textThe Portuguese writer Manuel Pinheiro Chagas (1842-1895) was very productive in the second half of the 19th century. Despite his diversified work, currently, he is practically forgotten, and he is not usually associated to Portuguese fantastic literature. The objective of this work is to read a narrative compiled in the collection A lenda da meia-noite (1874), “Julieta: conto fantástico”, in comparison with an article published in the journal O panorama (1868), in which the author makes theoretical-critical considerations on the fantastic. Our hypothesis is that Pinheiro Chagas, in the referred short story, inserts the fantastic in a similar way to his appointments in the respective article. In addition, we will show two possibilities of reading the short story, which are different, depending on the publication support.O escritor português Manuel Pinheiro Chagas (1842-1895) foi bastante produtivo na segunda metade do século XIX. Embora tenha uma obra diversificada, atualmente, é praticamente esquecido e não costuma ser vinculado à literatura fantástica portuguesa. Objetiva-se, neste estudo, a leitura de uma narrativa compilada na coletânea A lenda da meia-noite (1874), “Julieta: conto fantástico”, em cotejo com um artigo publicado no periódico O panorama (1868), no qual o autor faz considerações teórico-críticas acerca do fantástico. A nossa hipótese é que Pinheiro Chagas, no referido conto, insere o fantástico de forma semelhante aos apontamentos defendidos por ele no respectivo artigo. Além disso, mostraremos duas possibilidades de leitura para o conto, que são diferentes, a depender do suporte de publicação
Pinheiro Chagas, a forgotten writer
No full textEste estudo tem por objetivo refletir sobre uma figura literária pouco estudada, Manuel Pinheiro Chagas (1842-1895), escritor português considerado pela crítica principalmente como romancista histórico. Ao eleger o romance histórico como narrativa romântica, parece que Chagas tenta disputar espaço com o romance realista/naturalista, mesmo depois da consolidação do Realismo. Por meio da análise de quatro de seus romances, A virgem Guaraciaba (1865), A máscara Vermelha (1873) e a sua continuação O juramento da Duquesa (1873), e A descoberta da Índia. Contada por um marinheiro (1890), verificamos como o projeto literário deste escritor, que se inicia com a efabulação da História, vai convergindo para um realismo pouco romantizado, que ele denominou de estudo histórico romântico.This study is intended to reflect about the literary understudied character, Manuel Pinheiro Chagas (1842-1895), portuguese writer considered by public opinion mainly as historical novelist. Choosing the historical novel as romance narrative, seems that Chagas tries to establish space with the realistic/naturalist novel, even after the Realism consolidation. Analyzing four of his novels, A virgem Guaraciaba (1865), A máscara Vermelha (1873) and its continuation O juramento da Duquesa (1873), and A descoberta da Índia. Contada por um marinheiro (1890), we could verify how the literary project from this author, that initiates itself with the history creation, starts to converge to a type of less romanticized realism, that he defines as romantic historical study
