Changing representations and practices in school mathematics: the case of Modern Math in Portugal

The curricular movement known as Modern Mathematics aimed at the transformation of representations and practices in school mathematics. Its study provides us with ways of understanding how these changes came about. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of the ways in which representations of school mathematics gradually were influenced by ideas from the Modern Mathematics movement, how these new ideas merged into local educational traditions, and how they were transformed into meaningful practice. This work is centred on the Portuguese context from the middle 1950s to the middle 1960s, and builds on Chervel’s notion of school culture and Gruzinski’s discussion of connected histories.

"I was a maoist intelectual". Uma leitura crítica em torno dos conceitos "industria cultural" e "popular music" segundo adorno

Reflectir sobre noções como liberdade individual, democracia, o papel dos meios de comunicação e dos produtos culturais, é uma das principais tarefas das ciências sociais e humanas, reflexão particularmente pertinente nestes primeiros anos do séc. XXI marcados pela popularização de dispositivos tecnológicos destinados à circulação de informação em rede e pela virtualização de mecanismos de distribuição de bens de consumo cultural. Adomo constitui hoje uma das fontes mais importantes surgidas nos últimos 50 anos para esta reflexão. Marcado pelo advento do Nacional Socialismo e a perseguição de todos os "degenerados da condição ariana" (judeus, comunistas e homossexuais), Adomo produziu ao longo de quatro décadas, uma reflexão que marcou indelevelmente muitos autores que, escrevendo sobre a contemporaneidade, a adoptaram ou a ela se opuseram. A pergunta que coloco, e que serve de ponto de partida para este artigo, é proposta por Jameson: é hoje possível ler Adomo e Horkheimer junto à piscina? (1990: 248), ou posto de outra forma, que lugar ocupa a obra de Adomo como ferramenta para perspectivar o mundo actual.
