O GRANBERY EM JUIZ DE FORA: PRIMÓRDIOS DA EDUCAÇÃO METODISTA NO BRASIL (1889 A 1905)

O presente trabalho procura analisar e avaliar a instalação de uma instituição de ensino metodista na cidade de Juiz de Fora/MG ao final do século XIX, bem como identificar e analisar a educação metodista, a partir de uma investigação a respeito do movimento religioso que se iniciou na Inglaterra, no século XVII, sob a liderança de John Wesley. Com a sua consolidação, o movimento adotou o nome de Metodismo, de acordo com a visão que observadores tinham a respeito do grupo de adeptos, sempre disciplinados, metódicos e comprometidos com a filosofia que acreditavam. A investigação se estendeu às demais regiões pelas quais o Metodismo se instalou, passando pela América do Norte, chegando ao Brasil e abrangendo o sudeste brasileiro, mais especificamente, a Zona da Mata mineira, na cidade de Juiz de Fora/Minas Gerais. O estudo bibliográfico apresenta reflexões sobre o processo de formação, desenvolvimento e expansão da doutrina religiosa metodista e sua concepção educacional. Busca também analisar as relações do Metodismo com o processo de formação e transformação política, social e cultural do Brasil, no final do século XIX, quando acontece a implantação do regime republicano em substituição ao regime monárquico. Além disso, procura analisar as contribuições da educação metodista na construção e desenvolvimento da educação brasileira, que, juntamente com a política estavam sendo pensadas e questionadas por um grupo social e intelectual em ascensão na sociedade brasileira naquele momento histórico. Juntamente com as obras consultadas, a análise documental utilizou os livros de atas da congregação dos primórdios da fundação da instituição, o primeiro livro de matrícula, os estatutos e regulamento e as revistas editados na própria instituição, além de fragmentos do mais importante jornal da cidade à época. A análise destes documentos permite que sejam comprovadas as reflexões realizadas à luz da história e da teoria pesquisada, que serviram de base na pesquisa.

The bright and dark sides of individual and group innovation:A Special Issue introduction

This introduction essay proposes a challenging program for researchers eager to explore factors and process mechanisms contributing to the benefits and costs individuals and groups incur from pursuing innovative approaches. With respect to individual innovation, such moderating factors might be found in the characteristics of the innovative idea, the innovator, co-workers, supervisors, the broader organizational context, and in national culture. Examples of factors that are likely to shape the beneficial and detrimental outcomes of group innovation include knowledge, skills and ability of group members, group tenure, diversity among group members, group processes (clarifying group objectives, participation, constructive management of competing perspectives), and external demands on groups. This Special Issue contains a state-of-the-science paper, three articles dealing with the benefits and costs of individual innovation, and three articles addressing the bright and dark sides of group innovation.

John Frazer

John Frazer, Professor, trained at the Architectural Association, taught first at Cambridge University and then the AA in the 1970s and again in the '90s. He was Head of School of Design Research History and Criticism at the University of Ulster in the 1980s, he also ran a systems and design consultancy with his wife Julia (including projects for Cedric Price and Walter Segal) and was founder and chairman of Autographics software. He is currently Swire Chair Professor and Head of School of Design in Hong Kong.----- This is a very personal perspective on a concept of universal and future significance. It is personal, both is the sense that it is an unashamedly biased view of both the significance of the project, and the nature of that significance and because the author was personally involved as one of the consultants on GENERATOR and subsequently involved Cedric Price in its educational application at the Architectural Association. GENERATOR is still very much alive and was still developing whilst this chapter was being written.

Concerning the house museum and the picturesque landscape in the work of Sir John Soane : with raw hints for post-heritage museum space

The picturesque aesthetic in the work of Sir John Soane, architect and collector, resonates in the major work of his very personal practice – the development of his house museum, now the Soane Museum in Lincoln’s Inn Fields in London. Soane was actively involved with the debates, practices and proponents of picturesque and classical practices in architecture and landscape and his lectures reveal these influences in the making of The Soane, which was built to contain and present diverse collections of classical and contemporary art and architecture alongside scavenged curiosities. The Soane Museum has been described as a picturesque landscape, where a pictorial style, together with a carefully defined itinerary, has resulted in the ‘apotheosis of the Picturesque interior’. Soane also experimented with making mock ruinscapes within gardens, which led him to construct faux architectures alluding to archaeological practices based upon the ruin and the fragment. These ideas framed the making of interior landscapes expressed through spatial juxtapositions of room and corridor furnished with the collected object that characterise The Soane Museum. This paper is a personal journey through the Museum which describes and then reviews aspects of Soane’s work in the context of contemporary theories on ‘new’ museology. It describes the underpinning picturesque practices that Soane employed to exceed the boundaries between interior and exterior landscapes and the collection. It then applies particular picturesque principles drawn from visiting The Soane to a speculative project for a house/landscape museum for the Oratunga historic property in outback South Australia, where the often, normalising effects of conservation practices are reviewed using minimal architectural intervention through a celebration of ruinous states.

Art, popular culture and cultural policy: variations on a theme of John Carey

The article presents a criticism of the accounts of John Carey in his book entitled "The Intellectuals and the Masses." The author focuses on Carey's argument that the art is not an eternal category but an invention of the late eighteenth century and it no longer has any intellectual legitimacy other than that of provoking feelings which are no more and no less valuable than those provoked by any other form of entertainment or physical activity
