PRÁXIS MISSIONÁRIA DO METODISMO EM BELO HORIZONTE (1892-1930) DESAFIOS E NOVOS CAMINHOS PASTORAIS PARA OS GRANDES CENTROS URBANOS

O presente trabalho teve como um de seus objetivos analisar a inserção e a expansão do metodismo em Belo Horizonte MG, na perspectiva da práxis pastoral da Igreja, no período de 1892 a 1930, a fim de demonstrar que esse grupo, que foi o primeiro de natureza protestante a chegar à capital de Minas Gerais, desenvolveu sua ação missionária, caracterizada pela educação e evangelização. Sua inserção se dá num contexto marcado pelos ideais de modernização, inspirados no liberalismo e positivismo, quando profundas transformações na esfera econômica, política, nas concepções urbanístico-arquitetônicas e nos aspectos socioculturais se processavam na sociedade brasileira, especialmente entre o rompimento com o passado colonial e o desejo de modernização identificado na mudança do Império para a República, alterando assim o jeito do Brasil ser nação e apontando novos caminhos de diversidade religiosa. Esse novo momento permitiu ao metodismo construir sua identidade missionária a partir da relação da Igreja com a cidade e a cultura. A pesquisa, ao realçar ênfases missionárias do metodismo histórico e brasileiro, objetiva também resgatar a identidade do metodismo à luz da realidade urbana, entendendo ser essencial para ressignificar a práxis missionária nos dias de hoje. As ênfases do metodismo nascente, tanto na Inglaterra como nos EUA, e brasileiro puderam ajudar a construir uma nova proposta de missão para as grandes metrópoles brasileiras como Belo Horizonte. A construção dessa nova proposta nos contextos urbanos passou pelo redimensionamento de ênfases do metodismo (santificação transformadora, espiritualidade relevante, vocação pública, comunidade solidária), contribuindo na construção de uma pastoral que seja relevante para o contexto urbano.

L'Afrique du Sud, le précurseur du football international Histoire du football sud-africain entre 1892 et 1910

Berceau du football en Afrique, l’Afrique du Sud a largement contribué à son internationalisation. L’article décrypte la formalisation et la structuration du football sud-africain autour de réseaux politiques et industriels de l’empire victorien. À la fin du XIXe siècle, cinq ans avant même la création officielle de la FIFA, les équipes africaines sont les toutes premières à traverser les mers pour jouer en Europe et en Amérique du Sud. Ces tournées constituent les prémices du football planétaire. As the birthplace of African football, South Africa has greatly helped to give it an international dimension. This paper interprets the way in which South African football was formalised and structured around the political and industrial networks of the Victorian Empire. At the end of the 19th century, five years even before the FIFA was officially created, African teams were the first to go overseas to play in Europe and South America. These tours were the first steps towards the sport’s global dimension.

White football in South Africa: empire, apartheid and change, 1892-1977

This essay traces the development, domination and decline of white football in South Africa. It suggests that white football was more significant and popular than generally acknowledged and was at the forefront of globalizing football in the early twentieth century. In order to better understand the broader history of twentieth-century South African football, a more detailed examination of the organized white game at the national and international levels is necessary. This historical analysis of elite white football draws from the archives of the Football Association of South Africa. The analysis underscores the important role of white football authorities in the contestation of power and identity in the game in South Africa and abroad. In the first period under consideration (1892-1940s), local football authorities challenged the dominant sports within South Africa. This period was followed in the 1950s by the challenges of professionalism and anti-apartheid organizations. In the final phase (1967-77), officials experimented with football on 'multi-national' and multi-racial lines - a failed reform that led to the demise of white football.

Competition, competitive advantage, and clusters:the ideas of Michael Porter

Comprehensive coverage of all aspects of Michael Porter's works Contributions from leading authorities across the disciplines Contains response from Porter Harvard professor, Michael Porter has been one of the most influential figures in strategic management research over the last three decades. He infused a rigorous theoretical framework of industrial organization economics with the then still embryonic field of strategic management and elevated it to its current status as an academic discipline. Porter's outstanding career is also characterized by its cross-disciplinary nature. Following his most important work on strategic management, he then made a leap to the policy side and dealt with a completely different set of analytical units. More recently he has made a foray into inner city development, environmental regulations, and health care services. Throughout these explorations Porter has maintained his integrative approach, seeking a road that links management case studies and the general model building of mainstream economics. With expert contributors from a range of disciplines including strategic management, economic development, economic geography, and planning, this book assesses the contribution Michael Porter has made to these respective disciplines. It clarifies the sources of tension and controversy relating to all the major strands of Porter's work, and provides academics, students, and practitioners with a critical guide for the application of Porter's models. The book highlights that while many of the criticisms of Porter's ideas are valid, they are almost an inevitable outcome for a scholar who has sought to build bridges across wide disciplinary valleys. His work has provided others with a set of frameworks to explore in more depth the nature of competition, competitive advantage, and clusters from a range of vantage points.

Data compilation on the biological response to ocean acidification: environmental and experimental context of data sets and related literature

The exponential growth of studies on the biological response to ocean acidification over the last few decades has generated a large amount of data. To facilitate data comparison, a data compilation hosted at the data publisher PANGAEA was initiated in 2008 and is updated on a regular basis (doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.149999). By January 2015, a total of 581 data sets (over 4 000 000 data points) from 539 papers had been archived. Here we present the developments of this data compilation five years since its first description by Nisumaa et al. (2010). Most of study sites from which data archived are still in the Northern Hemisphere and the number of archived data from studies from the Southern Hemisphere and polar oceans are still relatively low. Data from 60 studies that investigated the response of a mix of organisms or natural communities were all added after 2010, indicating a welcomed shift from the study of individual organisms to communities and ecosystems. The initial imbalance of considerably more data archived on calcification and primary production than on other processes has improved. There is also a clear tendency towards more data archived from multifactorial studies after 2010. For easier and more effective access to ocean acidification data, the ocean acidification community is strongly encouraged to contribute to the data archiving effort, and help develop standard vocabularies describing the variables and define best practices for archiving ocean acidification data.

Emerging From the Shadows : the Life of Captain John (Deserontyou), Circa 1742-1811, Founder of the Bay of Quinte Mohawk Village

This thesis is a biographical examination of the life of Mohawk leader Deserontyou (Captain John) and covers the years from the 1730's up to, and briefly following, 1811. The social, economic and political position of the Mohawk people and Deserontyou's position within the Fort Hunter community prior to the Revolution are addressed first. The Revolutionary War years are then covered with emphasis placed on Deserontyou's military role, the unpleasant conditions at Lachine and the painful reality for the Mohawk people in the aftermath of Britain's defeat. The post-war settlement on the Bay of Quinte is then explored, including the difficulties that Deserontyou experienced with the land, with the British Government, and with his own people. The documents upon which this examination are based come from many primary collections including: The Draper Manuscripts, the Haldimand Papers, the Stuart Papers, Ontario Lands & Forest Survey Records, the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, Episcopal Records, the Bell Papers, the File Collection, the Claus Papers and Indian Affairs Papers.
