    L’autrice che si colloca, come Daniela Zorzi, tra i fautori di una linguistica “impegnata”, propone in ricordo della studiosa amica, una riflessione sul ruolo cruciale del multilinguismo e delle lingue- culture, per il successo professionale e il benessere sociale, nella società contemporanea. Il multilinguismo appare come un’urgenza educativa che interpella studiosi e formatori a tutti i livelli al fine di promuovere nei giovani un apprendimento consapevole efficace ed autonomo.Multilingualism constitutes an urgent objective for education, which needs to involve teachers and researchers at all levels if we are to promote effective and autonomous learning in the young. Like Daniela Zorzi, the author considers herself a socially engaged linguist, and in memory of her friend’s work, offers a reflection on the key roles of languages and cultures and of multilingualism for professional success and social welfare today

    This paper presents an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints on environmental issues submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between 2000 and 2005. It discusses the potential influences of these in local environmental planning and governance. The paper has been organised into five sections. The first of these introduces the study. The second section focuses on the conceptual approaches relating to environmental grassroots movements, the main actors involved in these movements and the role played by local government. It also contains a brief review of the most recent urban environmental quality challenges in the European context together with a description of the main features of the associated political and legal framework in Portugal. The third section describes the case study and the methodology used. The results of the empirical study are detailed in the fourth section. The final section critically analyses these results with emphases on the temporal evolution of the submission of complaints, the actors involved, the local environmental problems and their associated spatial pattern as well as the responses given by the City Council. This information may then be used to provide a useful indicator for the perception of environmental quality as well as a credible instrument for the visualisation and evaluation of local performance in terms of environmental planning and management.AlBan Programme - n.

    No full text
    The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to analytically and critically investigate the radio plays of the Czech author and playwright Daniela Fischerová. It explores her work from 1989 to the present which comprises eight radio plays, three micro radio plays, one radio fairy tale and ten one minute long plays. It also deals with the term "radio play" and its specifics. I work in the Czech, respectively the Czechoslovakian context. As a theoretical basis for this thesis I use publications, theoretical texts and lectures by Eva Ješutová, Jan Czech, Přemysl Rut, Vaclav Růt, Jan Vedral and many others. I use the theoretical basis for the analysis of the radio plays by Daniela Fischerová and the directors approaches of Hana Kofránková, Josef Červinka and Aleš Vrzák. My bachelor thesis is based not only on reading the scripts, but mainly on listening of the radio plays. Other sources of my bachelor thesis were the annexed interviews with the creators of these radio plays. The major objective of this bachelor thesis is to seamlessly introduce Daniela Fischerová's radio plays. In the analyzed plays I deal with the themes, topics and narratives. I also observed the compositional elements and techniques that I tried to summarize and define in the concrete plays

    Censorship in World War I: the Action of Wilson's Committee on Public Information

    No full text
    "The Committee on Public Information was created by Woodrow Wilson during World War I as a government instrument for the management of public opinion during wartime. Headed by George Creel, the CPI quickly dominated two key and interwined aspects of mass communications: censorship and propaganda. Praised as "a nationalizing force at home and an Americanizing agent abroad", the Committee's overall goal was to promote the circulation of positive images of the United States and counter or prevent the spread of negative perceptions of the USA or of Great Britain and other Allied Powers. Daniela Rossini sees in the CPI's activities "a crusading attitude and a skillful combination of selective repression, centralization of information, control of the media and propaganda", that enabled Wilson's administration to manage public opinion in an unparalleled way. Censorship was not simply imposed by the government. The press, the film industry, other mass media, and the general public were urged, for the sake of honor and patriotism, to comply with CPI guidelines. In other words, the government sought to mobilize a general "self-imposed conformism" in order to achieve what amounted to high level of voluntary censorship. The CPI also undertook missions abroad. Charles Merriam led one such mission to Italy, organizing the first mass propaganda campaign in favor of he United States in that country, and offering a plan to improve Italian propaganda in the United States. Noting John Dewey's observation on the efficacy of mass methods in manufacturing popular sentiment for all kinds of causes (worth or not), this essay argues that the fabrication of consent was in fact achieved by repression of democratic rights. Daniela Rossini is careful to point out that U.S. censorship and propaganda were not so heavy handed as they were at that time in Italy, France or other European countries, but she echos arguments similar to those used by Alex Goodall regarding the contradictory nature of Wilsonian policies and their adverse effects on the functioning of democracy in the United States. The capacity of government-inspired censorship and propaganda to fabricate majority consent was proven by the CPI and the reactions of USAmerican society during World War I. This experience undermined basic U.S. assumptions about enlightened public opinion. It shed doubts on the capacity and willingness of an intelligent general public to maintain independent and diverse rational opinions. Furthermore, the author argues, it created a social atmosphere which was unfavorable to the expression of dissent, while sowing the seeds of reactionary postwar hysteria which encouraged antidemocratic attitudes of "isolationism, illiberalism and intollerance"."

    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Urbanismo, História e Arquitetura da CidadeEste trabalho busca entender a relação entre as diversas formas que a cidade vem adquirindo com o passar do tempo e as formas de apropriação contemporâneas, a partir de discussão teórica de conceitos e critérios de autores que discutem o desempenho da forma da cidade em relação à apropriação dos espaços públicos. Com base neste debate, elegemos critérios relacionados à apropriação nas escalas da estrutura da cidade e da configuração dos lugares, e procedeu-se à caracterização e análise da cidade contemporânea de Quito para verificar padrões espaciais diretamente associados com uma apropriação positiva da cidade na cultura quitenha. A partir dos critérios selecionados e dos padrões positivos identificados, lançamos diretrizes de projeto de arquitetura da cidade para uma área de expansão da cidade contemporânea de Quito no Equador - a Paróquia de Cumbayá - buscando responder a critérios de bom desempenho da forma urbana que potencializem a apropriação de seus espaços públicos.The research seeks to understand the relationship between the different forms that the city has acquired over time and contemporary forms of appropriation, based on a theoretical discussion of concepts and criteria of authors who discuss the performance of the form of the city in relation to the appropriation of public spaces. Based on this debate, we selected criteria related to appropriation, both at the scale of city structure and at the scale of place configuration, and proceeded to the characterization and analysis of the contemporary city of Quito in a search to identify spatial patterns directly associated with a positive appropriation of the city in Quito´s culture. The selected criteria and the positive patterns identified oriented the design guidelines here proposed for the architectural design of the Paróquia of Cumbayá - an area of expansion in the city of Quito, Ecuador - in an attempt to comply with the criteria of good urban form performance so as to enhance the appropriation of its public spaces

    Tato bakalářská práce si klade za cíl analyticky a kriticky přistoupit k rozhlasovým hrám české autorky a dramatičky Daniely Fischerové. Zkoumá její tvorbu od roku 1989 do současnosti, což zahrnuje osm rozhlasových her, tři minidramata, jednu rozhlasovou pohádku a deset minutových her. Dále se zabývám pojmem "rozhlasová hra" a jejími specifiky. Pracuji v českém, potažmo československém kontextu. Jako teoretický podklad pro tuto práci mi posloužily zejména tyto publikace: Od mikrofonu k posluchačům a 99 významných uměleckých osobností rozhlasu Evy Ješutové a sborník Svět rozhlasu. Dále jsem využila teoretické texty a přednášky Jana Czecha, Přemysla Ruta, Václava Růta, Jana Vedrala a mnohých dalších. Teoretický základ využívám k analýze rozhlasových her Daniely Fischerové a režijních přístupů Hany Kofránkové, Josefa Červinky a Aleše Vrzáka. Vycházím jak z četby scénářů, tak především z poslechu jednotlivých rozhlasových her. Dalšími zdroji byly rozhovory s tvůrci rozhlasových her, které jsou v příloze této práce. Hlavním přínosem této práce má být ucelený pohled na rozhlasové hry Daniely Fischerové. V analyzovaných hrách se zabývám jednotlivými tématy, jejich vývojem, příběhy a jejich fabulací. Sledovala jsem také kompoziční prvky a postupy, které jsem se pokusila co nejjasněji shrnout a definovat.The main aim of this bachelor thesis is to analytically and critically investigate the radio plays of the Czech author and playwright Daniela Fischerová.

    I confini delle nuove povertà

    No full text
    This paper is a contribution to the ‘beyond tolerance’ section of the journal, and proposes a discussion on spatial orderings that, aiming to ‘separate differences’, ended up strengthening inequalities. The author examines different forms of spatial segregation as forms of injustice and inequality, claiming they need to be rethought and worked out with the specific tools of spatial planning. Some segregation patterns are thus entangled with spatial strategies, and by so doing they are understood differently, as devices of social and spatial segregation. Looking at examples taken from North American literature on ghettos and enclaves, the author proposes new directions in planning to better cope with critical contexts other than the US
