 The purpose of this analysis is to establish a correspondence of design policies with the innovation measurement framework of the Oslo Manual(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, 2005). Its importance lies in the fact that, although among academics and professionals design has been recognized as an engine of economic development at both micro and macro levels, it is not recognized by policymakers; which implies that innovation policies are an established academic field while design policies remain as an emerging one. This study includes the analysis of six design policies from European countries or regions, which led to the identification of different strategies that are influenced by infrastructure and institutional framework, design promotion, education systems, etc. Those strategies were categorized into twelve groups using methodologies of qualitative content analysis. Afterwards, a SWOT analysis developed for each of the twelve categories allowed to established a relation between them and the stakeholders of the Oslo Manual’s framework, in addition to the possibility to compare its implementation in each of the six-analyzed countries or regions. This graphical correlation showed that the existing links between the stakeholders of the system are the same links that exist between categories; therefore, the strategies of the different categories reinforce the links and ties between the different stakeholders of a system of Innovation from a country/region.  This methodology can be adapted to analyze the design policy of any region.Replicate the results of this research would enable to standardize Latin American design policies in a global context by allowing them to be compared with systems from leading countries. 

The present article describes Finmere Primary School (1958-59), by the architects David and Mary Medd, which belongs to the Development Projects in Great Britain. The methodology of the article responds to Herbert Read´s theses in his book Education through Art (1943) and influential professionals, Christian Schiller and Robin Tanner, who together with the Medds, supported his theories about the importance of the Arts in the personal development of the individual.The article focuses on describing how the spaces of the school, and the school as a whole, lend themselves to the development of the theories raised by these thinkers, to analyze the validity of their approaches in the present. The description of the project strategies helps to understand the architectural space in relation to some theoretical concepts that understand the human being as creative in a community environment. In the first place, the school will be explained as a single learning space without classrooms, promoting learning that integrates several disciplines. Next, as a place that absorbs the simultaneity of activities, a built-in variety school designed for specific activities. Finally, the school will be interpreted as a workshop that facilitates learning through experimentation and forces students to participate actively, building their own working corners.The article is limited to the study of a school in the British territory, as a particular case that allows us to see, through its evolution, how the educational and architectural discipline could jointly make a significant advance in the post-war schools. Finmere Primary School´s project adapts to the pedagogical concepts still in force today, so we can learn from it fundamental strategies for the design of educational spaces.

Claude François Brunet Debaines was a French architect who arrived to Chile in the middle of the nineteenth century to work for the Government and to establish the first architectural course in the University of Chile. Consequently, historiography around Brunet Debaines has focused mainly on his projects and buildings, as well as on his role as an educator. The examination of his correspondence with Chilean authorities allows however to outline another aspect of his labor, as an observer of political and administrative contingencies in Chile. Through a description of letters exchanged by Brunet Debaines with Governmental authorities, this paper seeks to contribute further detail about the architect’s biography, but mostly to discern some of the coincidences and discrepancies between the ideas of Chilean intellectuals and those of foreign professionals who were hired by the Chilean Government to modernize the disciplines and their production in areas such as engineering, architecture, agriculture and the sciences. It also aims to contribute to a historiographical valorization of the ideological dimension of architectural discourse in Chile, and of its participation in political and administrative debates.

This paper delves into the spatial, material and social conditions suggested by the urbanism and architecture of the Modern Movement, as well as in the effect that modernity has had on the habitat taking the film Playtime (Tati, 1967) as a source of analysis. The paper reviews the enthusiastic image of urban modernism presented by the cinema of the 1920s, the principles of CIAM and the International Style in the light of the systematic criticism the film exerted on a modernity that based its program on the abstraction of space and human activities. The paper situates the film and its author within the most radical criticism of positivism that denounced the transformation of architecture into an instrument of consumption. It can be concluded that fifty years after its premiere, Playtime remains a relevant cinematic document to think about the transformations of the city and the consolidation of new socio-spatial rationales that show the increasingly difficult adaptation between architecture and society in contemporary times too.

Com o presente estudo, almeja-se reconstituir historicamente as principais etapas que elencam a trajetória do general Golbery do Couto e Silva, em especial no que se refere às suas publicações em torno das questões geopolíticas do Brasil, durante as décadas de 1950 e 1960. Ressalta-se, pois, que para o contexto da época suas obras contribuíram para o campo dos estudos geopolíticos, ao passo de se tornarem referências para todo o Cone Sul. Assim, a partir dessa perspectiva, busca-se ainda, identificar seu posicionamento no campo intelectual, de modo a analisar seu enquadramento no cotidiano das matrizes teóricas intelectuais dePierre Bourdieu e Jean-Paul Sartre.

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar a crítica historiográfica e os apontamentossobre a elaboração da escrita da história no ensaio O Brasil na História: deturpação das tradições, degradação política (1930) de Manoel Bomfim (1868–1932) além de seus argumentos sobre a possibilidade de orientação através das experiências do passado. Tais compreensões referemse a muitos dos debates a respeito do saber histórico na Primeira República. A hipótese é de que, para Bomfim, a história possui um papel moral e orientador intrínseco a sociedade, o que aponta para a necessidade de abordar dimensões subjetivas e objetivas da realidade plásticana historiografia.

O concubinato foi uma relação bastante presente na sociedade brasileira do períodocolonial até o século XVIII. Essa prática foi considerada pela Igreja Católica um “pecado grave”, chegando a ser punida com penas rígidas que iam desde simples admoestações até o degredo. Por meio das visitações eclesiásticas, tal instituição fiscalizava e controlava o comportamento social, evitando a continuidade da mancebia. Sendo assim, o presente trabalho, tendo como referencial teórico a História Cultural, analisou as relações de concubinato no Brasil Colônia, enfatizando suas variadas representações, bem como as apropriações construídas pelos agentes desse período histórico.

O presente artigo buscou relacionar as teorias que acompanham o processo de modernização da vida social com elementos destacados no arcabouço teórico-histórico da memória social, a fim de compreender uma conexão entre as dimensões efetivas da vida social e os reflexos teóricos desta prática na perspectiva da transformação e ressignificação de sentidos. Como metodologia o rastro da memória social, discutido a partir dos clássicos chegando até o pensamento contemporâneo, balizou o percurso histórico dos argumentos seguidos de experimentações efetivas da análise sociológica. 

Este texto procura desenvolver um aprofundamento na discussão a respeito doscampos da História da Família, da História das Mulheres e da Demografia Histórica, a partir das possibilidades e necessidades de contato entre eles, proporcionadas, ou mesmo exigidas, para o preenchimento das lacunas e a elaboração de novas hipóteses de trabalhos. Para tanto empreende-se discussões específicas de cada um dos campos. O enfoque nessas questões visa promover a desmistificação das generalizações historiográficas, que, muitas vezes, impedem de enxergar as multifacetas das famílias e das relações de gênero naHistória do Brasil.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as disputas em torno do Movimento da Legalidade (1961) e da atuação do governador do Rio Grande do Sul naquele episódio, Leonel Brizola (PTB), entre os vereadores da Câmara Municipal de Canoas/RS durante os anos de 1961 e 1962. As lideranças políticas locais, inseridas naquela conjuntura de conflito entre as forças nacional-reformistas e conservadoras, assumiram posições e reinterpretaram as ações e as ideias daquele líder trabalhista, o que também refletia as divisões político-partidárias do município. A partir da análise qualitativa das atas legislativas da Câmara Municipal de Canoas/RS do período, pretende-se perceber como tal disputa ocorreu na Câmara municipal e como operava as interpretações propostas pelos políticos locais para louvar ou criticar a figura de Brizola e o que ele representava num contexto de considerável embate entre as forças trabalhistas e anti-trabalhistas, bem como as estratégias utilizadas para a recusa e/ou aceitação do mesmo.
