    O artigo analisa a relação entre forma arquitetônica e estrutura nos edifícios projetados por Milton Ramos em Brasília, destacando o conceito de Forma Estrutural, introduzido por Siegel (1960). O estudo investiga como a estrutura pode determinar a expressão arquitetônica, com base nos princípios da Arte Estrutural definidos por Billington (1983): eficiência, economia e elegância. A pesquisa inclui um levantamento bibliográfico sobre Forma Estrutural e métodos de análise estrutural, seguido de um estudo sobre a trajetória profissional de Milton Ramos e suas obras mais representativas. Para aprofundar a análise, o artigo foca no Oratório do Soldado, edifício religioso projetado por Ramos e construído pelo Exército Brasileiro. A metodologia adotada envolve a construção de um modelo computacional qualitativo utilizando o software Ftool, que permitiu examinar os esforços estruturais atuantes no edifício. Os gráficos de momento fletor gerados pelo software indicam que a distribuição dos esforços na estrutura do Oratório está diretamente relacionada à sua forma arquitetônica. Isso demonstra o conhecimento técnico de Ramos e sua habilidade em criar edificações com forte impacto visual e estruturalmente eficientes. Além do Oratório do Soldado, outras obras de Milton Ramos são destacadas, como o Estádio Pelezão (já demolido), o Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do DF e o Ginásio do Clube CASSAB. Essas construções evidenciam a aplicação do conceito de Forma Estrutural em sua prática profissional. A pesquisa conclui que a análise qualitativa computacional se mostra uma ferramenta valiosa para compreender a interação entre estrutura e forma arquitetônica. O estudo reforça a importância de profissionais como Milton Ramos para a Arquitetura Moderna de Brasília e para a formação de novos arquitetos e engenheiros.Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo (FAU)Departamento de Tecnologia em Arquitetura e Urbanismo (FAU TEC)Programa de Pós-Graduação em Arquitetura e Urbanism

    A break in neoliberal ideology? : A critical analysis of Bolivian elite discourse

    No full text
    Im Dezember 2005, gewannen Evo Morales und seine Partei, die Bewegung zum Sozialismus (MAS), mit über 50 Prozent der Stimmen die Wahlen in Bolivien. Dieses war das stärkste Wahlergebnis einer Partei seit Einführung der Demokratie 1982. Morales wurde im Januar 2006 als der zweite indigene Präsident Lateinamerikas eingeweiht. Die Einweihungszeremonie war gleichzeitig ein Triumph der anti-neoliberalen Bewegung Boliviens, welche im Wasserkrieg im Jahr 2000 und im Steuer- und Gaskrieg im Jahr 2003 ihren Höhepunkt erreichte. Morales und MAS unterstützten die sogenannten Neoliberalen Kriege. Der Sieg der MAS und von Morales in den Wahlen regt Spekulationen an, dass der Neoliberale Konsens in der Elite, der Bolivien zwei Jahrzehnte lang regierte, gebrochen ist. Die Frage nach einem Konsenswechsel ergibt sich nicht nur von Morales’ und MAS Partizipation in den Neoliberalen Kriegen, sondern auch weil die MAS viele Forderungen der Proteste 2000 und 2003 in ihr Parteiprogramm aufgenommen haben. Während sich Morales’ anti-neoliberale Denkweisen offensichtlich in der bolivianischen Bevölkerung großer Beliebtheit erfreuen, ist es nicht erwiesen, dass sich diese Popularität auf die Elite des Landes erstreckt. Der potentielle Konsensbruch bezüglich des Neoliberalismus in der Elite entstand jedoch nicht von ungefähr. Im Gegenteil: er baute sich über die gesamte Geschichte Boliviens hinweg auf und wurde von den Rahmenbedingungen im Land begünstigt. Mit Hilfe der kritischen Theorie von Antonio Gramsci und Robert W. Cox, welche in Kapitel 2 vorgestellt wird, erforscht diese Magisterarbeit ob der Neoliberale Konsens in der Bolivianischen Elite gebrochen ist. Mit Unterstützung des Konzeptes, dass Geschichte und Produktionsbeziehungen Gesellschaften und die Gegebenheiten in ihnen den hegemonialen Diskurs formen, stellt diese Arbeit in den Kapiteln 3 Boliviens Geschichte bis dato dar und bespricht in Kapitel 4 wichtige Themen der aktuellen Bolivianischen Politik und Wirtschaft. Die Umsetzung der neoliberalen Ideologie und Richtlinien in Bolivien wurde von den USA, den hegemonialen Institutionen (der Internationalen Währungsfond und der Weltbank) sowie der sich in der Regierung abwechselnden Elite propagiert und implementiert. Die neoliberalen Programme der 1980er und 1990er wurden trotz bitteren Protesten seitens der Bevölkerung beibehalten, die sich gegen die negativen Konsequenzen der Programme wehrten. Da die kritischen Theorie Konflikte als Mechanismen sieht, die Machtverhältnisse verändern und einen Hegemon/ein hegemoniales System stürzen können, werden auch die Neoliberalen Kriege Boliviens besprochen. Insbesondere im Steuer und Gaskrieg 2003 baute sich ein anti-hegemonialer Diskurs auf. Dieser Konflikt, in dem die MAS mitagierte, wird besonders begutachtet weil er den Präsidenten Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada (der neoliberale Kopf Boliviens) stürzte. Auf diesen Erkenntnissen basierend, wird in Kapitel 5 die Zeitungsanalyse vorgestellt. Diese wurde in zwei Zeiträumen vorgenommen: 2. bis 19. Oktober 2003 und 22. Januar bis 19. Februar 2006 (erster Monat der MAS-Regierung). Es wurden drei Zeitungen analysiert, welche je eine politische Strömung in der Bolivianischen Elite repräsentieren (La Prensa, konservative Tageszeitung; La Epoca, moderate Wochenzeitung, El Juguete Rabioso, ein alle zwei Wochen erscheinende linke Zeitung). Die Befunde der Zeitungsanalyse zeigten, dass die Bolivianische Elite sich sowohl gegen die anti-neoliberale Politik der MAS wendet, aber auch den Neoliberalismus und die Internationalen Finanzinstitutionen den Rücken gekehrt hat. Sie bewies auch, dass die Elite im Jahr 2003 erneut die Massen zu ihrem eigenen Vorteil missbrauchten, in dem sie ihre Wut, die gegen die Privatisierung der Gas Reserven gerichtet war, auf den regierenden Präsidenten (Sanchez de Lozada) umlenkten. Insofern zeigte die Zeitungsanalyse auch, dass ohne die Zustimmung der Elite in Bolivien ein friedlicher Systemwechsel unwahrscheinlich ist. Wie im Endfazit (Kapitel 6) beschrieben wird, hofft die bolivianische Elite, dass sich die MAS und Morales in inner- bzw. zwischen-parteilichen Scharmützeln verfängt, damit sich in der Zwischenzeit eine Alternative zwischen anti-hegemonialen und hegemonialem Diskurs findet, welche den Reichtum und die Macht der Elite erhält. Dies dürfte sich als schwierig erweisen, weil die politische Mitte Boliviens leer steht

Relatively long muzzle; P1 present; P2-3 unicuspid and elongated; P3 distally widened; P4 long with conical and slender protocone mesially located, low parastyle and lingual cingulum; M1 buccolingually elongated and mesiodistally reduced, with a large parastylar area, paracone larger than metacone, the latter being distinctive, high mesially located protocone; long and low mandibular corpus; high coronoid process and shallow masseteric fossa; p2-4 elongated; p2-3 unicuspid; p4 with low distal accessory cuspid; m1 metaconid lingually expanded; oval and short m2 with small protoconid and metaconid. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. — Differs from Circamustela dechaseauxi in more developed M1 metacone, lesser developed metastylar area, higher and mesially located protocone, lesser development of the cingulum on the lingual platform; more developed m1 metaconid, and a more conical hypoconid; Differs from Martes melibulla in the shorter mandibular corpus, reduced m1 talonid with a much shallower talonid basin, with reduced m1 entocristid and reduced m2; Differs from “ Martes ” sansaniensis, “ Martes ” filholi, Martes woodwardi, Martes ginsburgi, Pekania palaeosinensis, Pekania occulta, and Paramartes pococki, in smaller size, reduced lingual platform of the M1 and more reduced m1 talonid. DESCRIPTION Cranium and upper dentition Circamustela peignei n. sp., has a medium-sized cranium about as large as that of the American marten (Martes americana) and a long rostrum similar to that of the North American fisher (Pekania pennanti). Three fragmentary skulls have been found at Batallones-3. Specimen BAT-3’10.1570 (Fig. 2 A-E) is the most complete, and with a basal cranial length of 80.7 mm. It is dorso-ventrally compressed and the left frontal bone is collapsed. The cranium is partially crystallized in its interior, affecting the internal cavities and roots, and some superficial bone, such as of the right maxilla and pre-maxilla is dissolved. The nuchal and ventral regions are also damaged. The right zygomatic arch, left bulla, and both right mastoid process and occipital condyle are missing. The nasal aperture is broken. The orbit is large. The rostral margin of the orbit ends at the level of the mesial margin of the P4 parastyle. The postorbital processes are not preserved. The infraorbital foramen is located above the P3 and P4. It has a well-developed sagittal crest (Fig. 2A), which suggests that it was a male individual (Larivière & Jennings 2009). In caudal view (Fig. 2E), the nuchal area is triangular, rather flat, and no muscular attachments are preserved on the supraoccipital bone. The left zygomatic arch is similar to that of living martens, so it is not especially robust. The frontal process of the zygomatic arch is triangular and of moderate size. On the palate, the incisive foramina are not preserved. There is an oval concavity in the left maxilla from the canine at the P3 level. The right bulla is preserved. It is swollen, oval and rostrocaudally larger. It has three small perforations on its surface due to erosion. The scan images show a highly septate tympanic bulla, with a more developed anterior septum that partially divide the bulla (Fig. 3 B-D), as it happens in the late Miocene African mustelid Howellictis valentini (de Bonis et al. 2009). No additional features or foramina from the basicranial area are preserved. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 5FE42B44-EAD1-404B-9858-F3E546C99B03 Specimens BAT-3’11.1041 (Fig. 2 F-L) and BAT-3’10.1246 (Fig. 4) preserve the anterior part of the rostrum. Both show signals of dissolution by soil acids. BAT-3’11.1041 is not distorted. It shows a higher than broad nasal aperture and a high and relatively robust muzzle (Fig. 2 F-G). The rostral part of the cranium BAT-3’10.1246 has both hemimandibles attached, as seen in the virtual reconstruction (Fig. 4). The preserved upper dentition comprises the C, P1-4 and M1 (Figs 2-4; Table 1). Most teeth show signs of dissolution. The C is oval and long. Both BAT-3’10.1570 and BAT-3’10. 1246 have a large wear facet on the tip. There are diastemata between all the upper premolars. The P1 is robust and unicuspid. Both P2 and P3 are elongated, unicuspid and show a concave buccal wall. The P3 is distally widened. The P4 is relatively long. It possesses an eroded parastyle in BAT-3’10.1570 (Fig. 2C). There is an inflection between the parastyle and the protocone. The protocone is very isolated and mesially located. Additional P4s associated with the crania BAT-3’11.1041 (Fig. 2 H-L) and BAT-3’10.1246 (Fig. 4E) indicate that the parastyle is of moderate size. The protocone is conical and slender with moderate height. A lingual cingulum is present on the whole length of the lingual wall (Fig. 2 K-L).Two M1 are preserved in the crania BAT-3’10.1570 and BAT-3’10.1246. The M1 BAT-3’10.1570 is buccolingually elongated and mesiodistally reduced (Fig. 2C). It has a large parastylar area. The paracone is larger than the metacone. Both mesial and distal walls are very straight. The protocone is high and mesially located. The lingual platform is reduced in comparison with living gulonines (e.g., Martes martes, Martes foina, Pekania pennanti). The CT-scan allowed us to examine the M1 BAT-3’10.1246 (Fig. 4E). It is broken at the paracone-metacone level and the metacone is dissolved.Its overall morphology is close to BAT-3’10.1570, showing a short lingual platform and a high and distally placed protocone (Figs 2C; 4E). Mandibles and lower dentition Three incomplete mandibles have been found in Batallones-3 comprising i1-3, c, p2-4 and m1-2 (Figs 4, 5; Table 2). Both BAT-3’10.1570A and B are poorly preserved and the mandibular corpus and teeth are dissolved and carbonated, having several small concretions on the surface (Fig. 5 G-K). The mandible of C. peignei n. sp. is slender with a low mandibular corpus.Laterally, there are two rounded mental foramina, one under the distal part of the p2 and the other beneath the middle cuspid of the p3. The mandibular symphysis is elongated and curved (Fig. 5 G-H). Its medial surface is rough, and the attachment of the fibrocartilage pad reaches the mesial part of the p3. The coronoid process is high, sharp and vertically oriented. The masseteric fossa is shallow, although in BAT-3’10.1570A it is deeper. Its rostral margin lies at the level of the m2. The tooth row is straight and is aligned with the articular process. The articular process is large and close to the angular process. The angular process is robust and caudally directed. It is more developed in BAT-3’10.1570A. BAT-3’10.1246 preserves all the lower incisors on both sides (Fig. 4). The i1 is very small and peg-like. The right i1 only preserves part of the root. The i2 and i3 are bilobed, with i3 mesiodistally wider. The root of the i2 is imbricated between the i1 and the 13. The canine is large and has a lingual cingulid (Fig. 4 F-I). BAT-3’10.1570A also shows an alveolus for p1. The p2-3 are elongated and unicuspid. The cuspid of p2 is placed mesially, but in the p3 it is located in the middle portion of the tooth. Both p3-4 have high mesial and distal cingulids. The p4 has a tiny distal accessory cuspid (Fig. 4 F-I, 4A-F), which is more developed in BAT-3’10.1570A (Fig. 5 J-L). The m1 is long; its trigonid forms more than two thirds of the total length of the tooth; the protoconid is higher than the paraconid. The metaconid is distinct, attached to the protoconid but not exceeding its posterior edge. It is lingually extended (Figs 4F, H-I; 5Q; 6), and is more developed in BAT-3’13.1086 (Fig. 5 A-C), and in the specimen from Batallones-5 (Fig. 6). The maximum width is located at the protoconid-metaconid level. The talonid is reduced in length. The hypoconid is low and lingually bevelled (Figs 4 F-I; 5C, E). There is no entocristid; instead a posterior cristid of the metaconid extends along the lingual edge of the talonid, reaching the hypoconulid. Between the hypoconid and the aforementioned edge there is a shallow basin. The hypoconulid is more developed in BAT-3’10.1570A (Fig. 5 J-L) and BAT-5’10.G14.129 (Fig. 6). The m2 is reduced and oval. Its protoconid and metaconid are of similar height (Fig. 5 A-C).Published as part of Valenciano, Alberto, Pérez-Ramos, Alejandro, Abella, Juan & Morales, Jorge, 2020, A new hypercarnivorous mustelid (Mammalia, Carnivora, Mustelidae) from Batallones, late Miocene (MN 10), Torrejón de Velasco, Madrid, Spain, pp. 103-121 in Geodiversitas 42 (8) on pages 108-112, DOI: 10.5252/geodiversitas2020v42a8, http://zenodo.org/record/382068
