As bases filosóficas da metodologia de Quentin Skinner para a história intelectual
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia Política, Florianópolis, 2013.Esta dissertação tem como foco as bases filosóficas que dão suporte à metodologia de Quentin para a história intelectual. Seu objetivo é a análise da filosofia da linguagem desenvolvida por L. Wittgenstein e J.L. Austin e da filosofia da história de R. G. Collingwood, examinando pontos concordantes, aspectos similares entre estas teorias, bem como possíveis contradições e desajustes originários do uso feito por Skinner. Tal pesquisa poderá auxiliar na avaliação da abordagem metodológica do historiador, bem como na ponderação de algumas críticas mais comumente direcionadas à mesma. Também pretendo considerar algumas hipóteses de alteração das posições de Skinner no decorrer de sua obra, comparando o uso de conceitos e argumentos filosóficos recuperados na primeira parte desta pesquisa no que comentadores de Skinner designam como suas diferentes fases. Abstract : This dissertation focuses on the philosophical foundations that support Quentin Skinner?s methodology for intellectual history. Its goal is to examine the philosophy of language developed by L. Wittgenstein and J.L. Austin and the philosophy of history of R. G. Collingwood, examining concordant or simply similar aspects as well as possible contradictions and disagreements between these theories, arising from Skinner's specific use. This research may assist in the evaluation of his methodological approach as well as in the consideration of some of the criticism most often directed to it. I also intend to consider some hypotheses of methodological change in the course of Skinner's work, comparing the use of concepts and philosophical arguments retrieved in the first part of this research in the discussion of what some commentators designate as his different phases
Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ

Critical pedagogy in hard financial times
No full textPeter Mayo takes issue with education financing not from an economic or technical
viewpoint, but from a philosophical and systemic one, drawing on critical pedagogy.
There is no sense, this article argues, to talk of higher education or its funding without
reference to the capitalist system which the mainstream education discourse reaffirms. The author concludes with an alternative vision of lifelong learning as a social act for the creation and enhancing of democratic spaces, reflected in the ongoing global “Occupy” protests for social equality.peer-reviewe
Interwoven Curriculum Design for First Year Learning
No full textThe diverse range of pre-existing skills and knowledge that students bring to the first year of an architecture program is a challenge to pedagogical design. The traditional model for first year teaching at the University of Queensland was a series of short, stimulating projects and assignments offering an introductory smorgasbord of concepts, skills and techniques across a broad range of architectural issues. In 2004 a more integrated curriculum model was trialled that retained a breadth of skills and concepts, but sought to encourage a deeper engagement with the integrative design act by weaving project-work through developmental iterations across three different courses. The curriculum model sought to create conceptual linkages between design, theory, technology and communication courses in a manner that facilitated genuinely rich and reflective learning. The model adopted was not a singular, monolithically integrated project, but the sequenced weaving of students earlier design projects through successive modes of enquiry in three discrete courses, encouraging conceptual connection between the different sub-disciplinary paradigms. The inter-related curriculum required careful sequencing of project work across the year and clearly differentiated assessment criteria. Peter Skinner devised and taught the interrelated courses in 2004, and Clair Hughes evaluated the student experience through survey and focus group analysis in 2005. The evaluation probed five key learning objectives of the interwoven curriculum: - acquisition of broad and diverse skills, knowledge and understanding; - authentic engagement with, and ownership of, the processes of design; - participation in genuinely deep, rich and reflective modes of thinking and learning; - identification with the processes and values of the architectural profession; and - satisfaction from authentic accomplishment within the first year experience. Positive student response encourages the consideration of further development of this strategy of interwoven curricula in architectural education

Is There Market Power in the French Comte Cheese Market?
No full textAn NEIO approach is used to measure seller market power in the French Comté cheese market, characterised by government-approved supply control. The estimation is performed on quarterly data at the wholesale stage over the period 1985-2005. Three different elasticity shifters are included in the demand specification, and the supply equation accounts for the existence of the European dairy quota policy. The market power estimate is small and statistically insignificant. Monopoly is rejected, as well as weak forms of Cournot oligopoly. Results appear to be robust to the choice of functional form, and suggest little effect of the supply control scheme on consumer prices.Supply control, NEIO, protected designation of origin, Marketing,
