Recently, environmental architecture and sustainable construction has been ranked on top of the worldâ s interests. Making use of natural resources helps in reducing energy consumption and costs associated with the operation of buildings. The current architectural approaches and designs in Palestine are far away from environmental concepts, copying and simulating abroad approaches, without taking into account the culture, climate, and inhabitant's needs. On the contrast, vernacular architecture has achieved environmental concepts and has given suitable approaches and samples - without any need to simulate or copy - which come from people and land. This paper discusses how the Palestinian socio-cultural context shaped the residential vernacular architecture in Palestine, taking the old city of Nablus as a case-study. The research concept depends on analysing and trying to understand the effect of the socio-cultural context on vernacular architecture and trying to reach some rules or understandings of how it works in order to reach a modern environmental dwelling that is suitable to this concept. The research method goes through analysing study cases from the traditional architecture models and the Nablus city is selected as a case study. This analytical and qualitative method can lead to deep understanding for how to benefit from vernacular architecture in Palestine in finding the future environmental residential construction. One of the main findings of this research is to set general and special rules for building sustainable buildings in Palestine from the socio-cultural point view, in order to be a reference for designers, stakeholders, ministry of planning, and municipalities.

Partindo da configuração de um novo ecossistema comunicacional, que tem na internet o seu epicentro, procura-se refletir sobre a influência do mesmo na socialização de crianças e jovens, através da análise da presença de literatura infantojuvenil neste novo media. A observação de que os dispositivos de comunicação digital alargam as oportunidades de acesso à informação entre cidadãos que falam, pensam e sentem em língua portuguesa, foca a questão no espaço cultural da lusofonia.

Adolescents’ perceptions of parenting and family relationships are important variables for identifying mechanisms involved in how children acquire values and how these values are transmitted through families. In a sample of 515 adolescents, we investigated whether perceptions of the quality of parental practices would predict adolescents’ collectivist and individualist values. We hypothesized that perceived quality of family relations would mediate the relationship between the quality of parental practices and collectivist values but not of individualist values. The results of structural equation modeling suggested that perception of the quality of parental practices predicted adolescents’ both collectivist and individualist values. The predicted mediation effect was found for collectivist values, but not for individualist values. The results point to different functions of parenting and family relations on value acquisition. Implications for practice, such as the development and implementation of interventions to improve the formation of adolescents’ values by enhancing the quality of parenting and family relationships are discussed.

Family-of-origin is an important system in individual’s lives, and its influence is extensive over the life cycle. The aim of this study was to investigate, in a sample of adolescents’ parents, whether their retrospective perceptions of parenting and relationship qualities within their families-of-origin during adolescence predicted their current collectivist and individualist values. Participants included 110 Portuguese adults with a mean age of 46.86 years old. The results of structural equation modeling supported that retrospective perceptions of parenting and relationship qualities in the family-of-origin predicted the adults’ collectivist values but not their individualist values. This study highlights the importance of retrospective perceptions of supporting and non-rejecting parenting for value acquisition. The results also suggest that values that preserve and protect family connections and collaborations are more likely to be socialized by families. Implications for practice and for the theories on parenting, values, family-of-origin influences and family intergenerational transmission are discussed.

[Excerto] Lusofonia e Interculturalidade. Promessa e Travessia debate a questão lusófona, em três aspetos principais. No atual contexto da globalização, que é uma realidade de cariz eminentemente económico-financeiro, comandada pelas tecnologias da informação, esta obra interroga o sentido das narrativas (literárias e mediáticas, e também das narrativas de histórias de vida) sobre a construção de uma comunidade geocultural transnacional e transcontinental lusófona. Interroga, igualmente, as políticas da língua e da comunicação como combate simbólico pela afirmação de uma comunidade plural, na diversidade de povos e culturas lusófonas. E interroga, ainda, a complexidade do movimento de interpenetração das culturas, o qual, com gradações diversas, que compreendem colonialismo, neocolonialismo e pós-colonialismo, na relação entre povos, traduz o encontro, a assimilação e a dominação, na interação entre nós e o outro. Sendo este o plano geral da obra Lusofonia e Interculturalidade, misturam-se nela distintos regimes do olhar, específicos das Ciências Sociais e Humanas, que vão da sócio-antropologia, à psicologia social, à ciência política e às ciências da comunicação, e da linguística, aos estudos literários, à história e às ciências da educação.

This study focuses on the granite mountain known as Monte Pindo (627 m above sea level) in the Autonomous Community of Galicia (NW Spain). This territory is included in the area classified as “Costa da Morte” in the “Politica de Ordenación Litoral” (POL) (Coastal Planning Policy) for the region of Galicia. This coastal unit, located between “Rías Baixas” and “Cape Fisterra” has great potential for demonstrating geological processes and its geomorphological heritage is characterized by a high degree of geodiversity of granite landforms. The main objective of our work is to assess the geomorphological heritage of the site, thus revealing its wide geodiversity. We shall analyze and highlight: its scientific value, developing an inventory of granite landforms; its educational valuel and its geotouristic potential. It must be ensured that the Administration understands that natural diversity is composed of both geodiversity and biodiversity. Only then will the sustainable management of Monte Pindo become possible by integrating natural and cultural heritage values. The goal is to ensure that Monte Pindo and its immediate surroundings become a geopark with the aim of promoting local development projects based on the conservation and valorization of its geological heritage.

Muitos textos da literatura infantil, pela sua relação com propósitos formativos, têm privilegiado determinados pontos de vista fortemente compatíveis com as comunidades socioculturais e com os valores ideológicos aí dominantes. Tal facto não impediu, porém, que alguns textos, para além da afirmação de determinados mundos possíveis, contenham igualmente uma não negligenciável dimensão emancipatória. O artigo apresenta e analisa seis álbuns narrativos para a infância, publicados no espaço ibérico, alguns dos quais traduções de relevantes obras estrangeiras (A princesa espertalhona, Babette Cole, 2004; O livro dos porquinhos, Anthony Browne, 2006), onde se interrogam os modos convencionais de retratar o género, possibilitando ao leitor pensar outros modos de considerar a construção social e cultural do género, afastados de uma concepção patriarcal e tradicional. Palavras-chave: estudos de género, paródia, literatura infantil.

The purpose of this study is to argue that Cultural Studies may be regarded as the new humanities. Cultural Studies focus on ethnic, post-colonial, communication, anthropological, ethnographic and feminist studies, and only ‘very marginally’ have they shown an interest in literature and literary studies (Aguiar & Silva, 2008). But those fields, which ‘Social Science’ rather than the ‘Arts’ have invested in (Ibid., p. 254), are the touchstone of modernity. Today, the concept we have of humankind is, to a large extent, played out in these areas. The questioning of both humankind and modernity has as backdrop the technologically-driven shift of culture from word to image (Martins, 2011 a). My proposal takes into account this debate, while underscoring how Cultural Studies are engaged in what is current and contemporary, which means, in the present and everyday life.
