Filmagem de espectáculos desportivos e "direito de arena"

O que possa designar-se espectáculo tem hoje uma “arena” que só é limitada pela disponibilidade de meios para captar (“fixar/gravar”) e difundir, com uma velocidade quase instantânea e âmbito planetário, os factos que nela se desenrolam a cada momento e na medida do insaciável interesse dos espectadores potenciais; os sujeitos a quem pode apetecer tal exclusivo incluem tanto os que o (ao espectáculo) organizam, realizam ou interpretam, como os que o fixam e difundem ou até os participantes (artistas, desportistas, outros figurantes). Confrontamos, pois, o que se manifesta como a aspiração à outorga de um exclusivo de aproveitamento económico de “factos espectaculares”.

Lärare samtalar om sin läs- och skrivundervisning : Fokusgruppssamtal som arena för kritisk självprövning?

Studien Lärare samtalar om sin läs- och skrivundervisning. – Fokusgruppssamtal som arena för kritisk självprövning? har tagit avstamp i en kartläggning av svenskämnets läs- och skrivutveckling som genomfördes i en mellansvensk kommun, vårterminen 2011. Syftet med studien är att belysa och kritiskt granska hur lärare talar om sin undervisning när det gäller arbetet med elevers läs- och skrivutveckling med särskilt fokus på elever som kan vara i behov av särskilt stöd i sin läs- och skrivutveckling. För att lärare skulle ges möjlighet att samtala om sin undervisning valdes fokusgruppssamtal för insamlande av empirin. Studien är av kvalitativ art och har en hermeneutisk forskningsansats som utgångspunkt, med ett konstruktionistiskt kunskapsteoretiskt perspektiv. Det lärarna i samtalen gav uttryck för att de gör i arbetet med att utveckla elevers läs- och skrivutveckling, och som jag betraktar som strategier, har jag valt att beskriva utifrån följande kategorier: 1. Förebyggande arbete 2. Lärarkompetensens betydelse i arbetet med elevers läs- och skrivutveckling 3. Läs- och skrivundervisning och uppföljning av elevers läs- och skrivutveckling 4. Kompensera i undervisningen Resultatet av studien visar att lärarna i fokusgruppssamtalen till största delen samtalade om vad som var viktigt i arbetet med att utveckla elevers läs- och skrivutveckling. Lärarna lyckades i mycket liten utsträckning verbalisera hur en undervisning, som tar hänsyn till allt det som lärarna i samtalen uttryckte som viktiga aspekter i läs- och skrivundervisningen verkligen gestaltade sig i vardagsarbetet med eleverna. När det gäller arbetet med att utveckla elevers läsförståelse och att kompensera i läs- och skrivundervisningen för att alla elever ska få det stöd de behöver för att utvecklas så långt som möjligt i sin läs- och skrivutveckling gavs några få konkreta exempel från lärares undervisning på hur läsundervisningen kunde gestaltas i praktiken. Det överraskade mig att inte fler lärare verbaliserade och gav exempel från sin undervisning på hur de konkret arbetar i sin vardag med att utveckla elevers läs- och skrivutveckling, med särskilt fokus på elever som kan vara i behov av särskilt stöd i sin läs- och skrivutveckling. 3

Forskningscirklar - en arena där lärares syn på vad deras arbete resulterar i kan utmanas. : Paper presented at NFPS:s conference in Copenhagen 7-9 March, 2003

Lärare kan i första hand antas bilda sig sin uppfattning om resultatet av sitt arbete genom vad de kan observera av det som sker med deras elever. Vad har då denna erfarenhetsbaserade kunskap för betydelse för hur de uppfattar sitt arbete? I Sverige har t ex forskningscirklar använts i skolan, där lärare arbetar tillsammans med forskare, för att bearbeta frågeställningar som lärare möter i sin vardag. Kan forskningscirklar då vara ett sätt att utmana lärares syn på vilka resultat som deras arbete leder till?Från dessa utgångspunkter förefaller det vara relevant att ställa frågan om dessa sk forskningscirklar också kan vara en mötesplats där lärares syn på vilka resultat som deras arbete leder till utmanas? Följande frågeställning formuleras:• På vilken utsträckning kan forskningscirklar fungera som ett sätt att öppna nya infallsvinklar på hur lärare ser på resultatet av sitt arbete?

How E-business can provide a sustainable framework for online learning in the vocational education and training arena

The author undertook a major national study of e-business for the Australian National Training Authority (ANTA) from November 1999 - February 2000, resulting in the report E-competent Australia: The Impact of E-commerce on the National Training Framework (ANTA, 2000; available at http;://www.anta.gov.au). This ANTA study and other research by the author show that e-business will eventually have a significant impact on the Australian economy, on industries, organisations, occupations and education and training organisations. From April-May 2000, the author is undertaking a major study for the Commonwealth Government (DETYA): a scoping study of e-commerce in the education and training sector (higher education, VET, schools) of Australia.

This paper starts where the ANTA study (Mitchell 2000a) and the DETYA study stop, by exploring the implications of e-business for online learning systems. E-business will eventually impact not only on the organisations providing online education but on their online learning systems.

The paper is based also on research by the author for a Doctorate in Education within the Faculty of Education at Deakin University that commenced in 1997 and is continuing. The research for this paper involved a review of national and international developments in ebusiness, relating them to online learning systems.

This paper traces the origins, definitions and drivers of both e-business and online learning systems in the 1990s, showing how e-business principles and strategies in the future will have a beneficial impact on online learning systems, even if online learning systems eventually lose their identities as separate from the rest of the organisation.

An e-business focus for online learning systems would start with an understanding of the customers' needs; would find a customer-centric solution, not a technology-centric solution; would empower the customer; would provide sufficient and multiple types of support for the customer; would provide quality and skilled input; and would provide cost effective, reliable and accessible technology.

This vision of an e-business approach to training varies greatly from the traditional business model for the delivery of training, particularly by VET Registered Training Organisations (RTOs). The traditional business model includes real estate prices dictating location of campuses; architecture dictating class sizes; industrial relations dictating the number and length of sessions and prescribing tight role descriptions; queues of students enrolling in February and July each year; and students seated in teacher-dominated classrooms. In contrast, an e-business basis for RTOs would involve the use of electronic communication to improve business performance, improve the use of existing resources, enhance existing services and increase market reach.

An e-business model for RTOs would include the following features: the development of new relationships with customers, using electronic communication to strengthen the relationship; the pursuit of new student markets; and the development of new relationships and alliances between providers. In this new arena of potential and threat, of disintermediation and reintermediation, there will be new roles for new intermediaries; and there will emerge new ways of supporting teaching and learning. Progressive education and training organisations will realize the potential offered by e-business and enjoy the fruits of reintermediation.

Highlights from the tennis Australia heritage collections : mini-exhibition in the player cafe, Rod Laver Arena

Summary : This 'mini-exhibition' arose as an opportunity to showcase recent acquisitions as well as established holdings of significant items of tennis related heritage within the Tennis Australia Heritage Collections. In general, the Collections have two main strengths, and the mini-exhibition was designed to communicate these. The first strength is the ability to show the evolution of tennis technology and practices over time, from the beginnings of modern tennis in the 1860s, to today. This evolution is a result of tennis being influenced by changes in the wider world, such as the Industrial Revolution. The second strength of the Collections is in showing the impact and influence of tennis on society. Many items in the Collections are evidence of the immense and enduring popularity of the sport across the world. The Collections contain many beautiful, rare and fascinating items of decorative arts, fashion, literature and social history which feature tennis as a motif. These items show the reverse influence - the deep impression tennis has made outside of the sport itself.  This mini-exhibition focuses on these two themes. Some displays focus on the first theme. They demonstrate the evolution of tennis racquets, tennis balls, instructional publications and other tennis related equipment over the past century and a half. Other displays focus on the second theme. There are cases which examine tennis' influence upon global popular culture, in board games, fashion and decorative arts from around the world.  The mini-exhibition includes items from the U.s, U.K., Germany, France, Austria, Japan and Australia, demonstrating the global phenomenon that tennis quickly became, and showcasing the international scope of the Collections.  Each case contains text panels listing the objects and their specifications, and panels providing contextual information about the display. The miniexhibition is expected to be on display until November 2009. A case-bycase breakdown of objects, with images and a layout map follows.

Governance and goodness in the public arena

We discuss the association of governance with notions of goodness and virtue in the public arena. In line with moves away from universal notions of best practice and toward recognition of local initiatives, we suggest that public management research give more explicit attention to the ethical frameworks that underlie and complicate definitional and values-based debates. We suggest that greater consideration of the ethics of public management may assist researchers to move beyond definitional dilemmas and will inform analysis of hybrid or 'reformed' bureaucracies where competing logics may be in play.

Joyce and the ‘Cultic Twalette’: Jocoserious jousts in the nationalist arena in the Cyclops episode of Ulysses

Set in a richly detailed Dublin of 1904, there has never been serious debate about the Irishness of Ulysses, but early critics and commentators, abetted by Joyce, made more of its European intertexts especially Homer, Dante, and closer to Ireland, Shakespeare. Its deep and suppressed debt to the Irish tradition was not fully explored until Maria Tymoczko’s The Irish Ulysses (1994). This paper examines how ancient Irish poetic material is used and strategically coopted for political use in the so-called Cyclops chapter of Ulysses, and demonstrates how Joyce reworked ancient Irish poetry to express a rather more inclusive and celebratory relationship with his cultural heritage than is sometimes recognised by commentators who more commonly insist that his use of ancient Irish material is parodic and satiric.
