Kieh, George Klay. "The American style of development aid to Liberia." Africanus: Journal of Development Studies 44, no. 2 (January 30, 2015): 33–49. http://dx.doi.org/10.25159/0304-615x/71.
Full textAbstract:
There is a growing corpus of literature on the critical issue of the various styles used by donors in giving development aid to recipient states in various parts of the world, including Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. This article seeks to contribute to the body of literature by examining the nature and dynamics of the American style of development aid to Liberia and the resulting implications for the latter’s social and economic development. Using the realpolitik model as its analytical framework, the article situates the American style of development aid giving within the broader context of Liberia-United States (US) relations. Based on this foundation, the article then interrogated the flows of US development aid to Liberia from 1946–2013. The findings indicate that the American style of aid giving is ostensibly designed to serve the economic, political, military and strategic interests of the US. In this vein, Liberia is required to serve as a foot soldier in the promotion of American national interests in the former and elsewhere. Accordingly, in terms of the implications for social and economic development, for the past six decades American development aid has not helped to advance the material conditions of Liberia’s subaltern classes. However, in order to change this situation, the US would need to rethink the realpolitik foundation of its development aid programme and the Liberian government would need to press for such a policy rethinking. However, both of these possibilities are highly unlikely, given the US’ determination to prosecute its imperial project and its clientelist relationship with the Liberian government.

Quest, Hendrik. "Reforming Masculinity? The SSR-Induced Change of Violence-Centred Masculinities in the Liberian Security Sector." Sicherheit, Militär und Geschlecht 29, no. 1-2020 (May 11, 2020): 39–54. http://dx.doi.org/10.3224/feminapolitica.v29i1.04.
Full textAbstract:
When it comes to understanding how peacebuilding affects violence-centred masculinities that emerge during civil wars, the literature on gender and post-conflict reconstruction reveals large gaps. To address this shortcoming, the article analyses the way in which security sector reform (SSR) in Liberia has changed institutional practices of masculinity within the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL) and the Liberian National Police (LNP). Based on interviews conducted during field research in Monrovia in 2017 and the analysis of policy documents, the author shows that, indeed, SSR has contributed to a change of violence-centred masculinities in both institutions. Women are now, to some extent, accepted as part of both organisations. Sometimes they are even regarded as crucial for mission success. Institutionally, citizen orientation has replaced the practice to abuse civilians and, in the case of the AFL, there are now procedures in place that allow for a prosecution of sexual violence. The Liberian case shows that for changes to occur, especially disarmament and demobilisation, vetting, and the development and reinforcement of new institutional cultures via training and legislation are essential.

Full textAbstract:
The development and implementation of renewable energy policies and regulations in Liberia are cardinal to develop the nascent electricity sector. Liberia had developed some of the priority policy and regulatory instruments in the electricity sector; however, supportive policies and regulations to minimize investment risks and create an enabling environment for all actors are indispensable to attain universal energy access. The research aims to provide policy and regulatory recommendations that will increase private sector participation in the electricity sector of Liberia through the deployment of renewable energy technologies. The recommendations examined a comprehensive review and analysis of the energy legislation in Liberia, renewable energy policies in Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, and data on renewable energy policies from countries in West Africa. It was explicit from the literature review that Liberia does not have policies and regulations for renewable power generation, transmission, and distribution, which are imperative for private sector participation. The establishment of the new renewable energy law and supportive policies such as policy and regulation on tariff setting, fiscal policy, financial policy, administrative and legal provisions, and technical standards are the recommendations of this research paper.

There is a growing body of work examining gender stereotypes in media representations of female candidates, but much of this literature is based on analysis of media sources in developed countries, including the United States (Braden 1996; Jalalzai 2006; Kahn 1994, 1996; Smith 1997), Australia (Kittilson and Fridkin 2008), Canada (Kittilson and Fridkin 2008), France (Murray 2010b), and Germany (Wiliarty 2010). The increase in female presidential candidates and presidents in Latin America has encouraged research on media portrayals of women in Argentina, Chile, and Venezuela (Franceschet and Thomas 2010; Hinojosa 2010; Piscopo 2010; Thomas and Adams 2010). To date, however, there has been little research exploring media representations of female politicians in Africa. (Exceptions include Adams 2010; Anderson, Diabah, and hMensah 2011). A question that emerges is whether the gender stereotypes common in coverage in the United States, Europe, and Latin America are also prevalent in Africa.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA (English Studies))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Texts by women travellers describing their journeys date back almost as far as those produced by their male counterparts, yet women’s travel writing has only become an area of academic interest during the past ten to fifteen years. Previously, women’s travel writing was mostly read for its entertainment value rather than its academic merit and – as Sara Mills notes in her Discourses of Difference – appeared almost exclusively in the form of coffee table books or biographies offering romanticized accounts of heroic, eccentric women who undertook epic journeys to Africa (4). The growing interest in women’s travel writing as part of colonial discourse coincides with the emergence of gender studies and related subjects. The emergence of these areas of academic enquiry can be attributed to the systematic dismantling of the patriarchal structures, which previously dominated social and academic domains. The aim of this study is to examine European women’s travel writing as a subversive discourse which, while sharing some characteristics with traditional male-produced travel texts from the colonial era, was informed by the discursive constraints of femininity. These texts thus differ from male-produced texts in the sense that, because of the different discursive constraints informing women’s travel writing, they offer commentary on aspects of Africa and its peoples which men had omitted in their travel accounts. Three specific texts by British women who recorded their travels in Africa form the basis of the discussion in this dissertation: the travel writing of Lady Anne Barnard (South African Cape Colony, 1797 – 1801), Mary Kingsley (West Africa: Gabon and the Congo, 1896 – 1900) and Barbara Greene (Liberia, 1935). Since, as Mills argues, “feminist textual theory has restricted itself to the analysis of literary texts and has been concerned with analysis of the text itself” (12), which limits the extent to which one can provide interesting, discerning, and relevant comment on women’s writing, the readings of these texts are not limited to feminist theory of women’s travel writing. Social expectations until as recently as the early twentieth century located women firmly in the domestic sphere. It was almost unthinkable for women to undertake travels other than the traditional Grand Tour. To attempt to venture into the predominantly male territory of travel writing was to expose oneself to harsh criticism and to risk being labelled as eccentric and unfeminine. Thus women had to find a way of making both their travels and writing seem acceptable by social standards, while still presenting as true as possible a picture of Africa in their writing. These constraints of the discourse of femininity on their texts necessarily make women’s writing seem concerned almost exclusively with matters of feminine interest. Mills attributes this to women travel writers’ “problematic status, caught between the conflicting demands of the discourse of femininity and that of imperialism.” (Mills, Discourses of Difference 22)
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Reisbeskrywings deur vroue dateer byna so ver terug as dié wat deur mans geskryf is. Tog het vroue se reisbeskrywings eers in die afgelope tien tot vyftien jaar akademiese belangstelling begin ontlok. Voorheen is vroue se reisbeskrywings meestal vir vermaak eerder as akademiese meriete gelees, en – soos Sara Mills in haar Discourses of Difference opmerk – het dit byna uitsluitlik verskyn as koffietafelboeke of verromantiseerde biografieë van heldhaftige, sonderlinge vroue wat epiese reise na Afrika onderneem het (4). Die toenemende belangstelling in vroue se reisbeskrywings as deel van koloniale diskoers val saam met die verskyning van gender-studies en verwante vakgebiede. Die ontstaan van hierdie akademiese vakgebiede kan toegeskryf word aan die stelselmatige aftakeling van die paternalistiese strukture wat sosiale en akademiese arenas voorheen oorheers het. Die doel van hierdie studie is om Europese vroue se reisbeskrywings te ondersoek as ‘n ondermynende diskoers wat, hoewel dit sekere eienskappe van tradisionele reisbeskrywings deur manlike skrywers uit die koloniale tydperk toon, gegrond is in die beperkende diskoers van vroulikheid. Hierdie tekste verskil dus van tekste deur manlike skrywers in die opsig dat dit, as gevolg van die verskillende diskoersbeperkinge waarin dit gegrond is, kommentaar lewer op aspekte van Afrika en sy bevolking wat mans in hul reisbeskrywings uitgelaat het. Drie spesifieke tekste deur Britse vroue wat hul reise beskryf het vorm die grondslag van hierdie verhandeling; dit is die reisbeskrywings van Lady Anne Barnard (Suid-Afrikaanse Kaapkolonie, 1797 – 1801), Mary Kingsley (Wes- Afrika: Gaboen en die Kongo, 1896 – 1900) en Barbara Greene (Liberië, 1935). Mills voer aan: “Feminist textual theory has restricted itself to the analysis of literary texts and has been concerned with analysis of the text itself” (12). Dít beperk die mate waartoe interessante, skerpsinnige en toepaslike kommentaar oor vroue se reisbeskrywings gelewer kan word; dus is die interpretasie van hierdie tekste nie beperk tot feministiese teorie met betrekking tot vrouereisbeskrywings nie. Tot so onlangs as die vroeë twintigste eeu het die samelewing se verwagtinge vroue streng tot die huishoudelike sfeer beperk. Afgesien van die tradisionele Grand Tour was dit bykans ondenkbaar vir vroue om te reis. As ‘n vrou inbreuk sou probeer maak op die tradisioneel manlike gebied van die skryfkuns sou sy haarself blootstel aan skerp kritiek en onwenslike etikettering as eksentriek en onvroulik. Dus moes vroue ‘n manier vind om sowel hul reise as hul skryfwerk sosiaal aanvaarbaar te maak en terselfdertyd so ‘n egte beeld as moontlik van Afrika te skets in hul skryfwerk. Die beperkinge wat die diskoers van vroulikheid op hul tekste plaas, lei noodwendig daartoe dat vroue se skryfwerk as byna geheel en al beperk tot sake van vroulike belang voorkom. Mills skryf dít toe aan vroue-reisbeskrywers se “problematic status, caught between the conflicting demands of the discourse of femininity and that of imperialism.” (Mills, Discourses of Difference 22)

Mestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e CulturasO presente trabalho propõe-se explorar as modalidades de inscrição erótica na obra de Luiz Pacheco, de modo a salientar o seu alcance estético, ideológico e ético-filosófico, em estreita articulação com a noção de marginalidade literária. A análise da expressão multímoda do erotismo dissidente ou transgressor será desenvolvida a partir de exercícios de leitura intensiva de um corpus textual representativo, propondo-se uma filiação aproximativa do autor numa linhagem estético-literária libertina, no que especificamente diz respeito aos processos de tematização do erotismo. A dissertação compreende, assim, dois momentos de indagação: partindo da caracterização do diálogo crítico que Luiz Pacheco desenvolve com a tradição, e em particular com os modelos literários libertinos franceses setecentistas, propõe-se, num segundo momento, a leitura crítica de um conjunto seleccionado de textos do autor considerados ilustrativos da diversidade de concretizações semântico-formais da escrita erótica. Pretende-se, deste modo, contribuir para a caracterização de uma erótica libertina, segundo Luiz Pacheco.
This dissertation aims to examine the modes of erotic representation patent in Luiz Pacheco’s work with the purpose of characterizing its aesthetic, ideological, ethical and philosophical scope, in close connection with the experience of literary marginality. The multifarious expression of erotic dissidence and sexual transgression will be highlighted through literary analysis of representative texts, enabling us to define, albeit provisionally, the libertine literary lineage the author can be associated with. The structure of this dissertation is two-fold: after looking into Pacheco’s critical appropriation of literary tradition, particularly libertine 17th century French models, close literary reading of selected texts will be carried out, so as to illustrate the semantic and formal diversity of erotic discourse. We ultimately aim at outlining an erotics of the libertine, as defined by Pacheco.

Resumo: Ao longo da primeira metade do século XX, a humanidade assistiu à derrocada traumática da razão. Muitas das utopias modernas, pautadas nos ideais de progresso técnico e tecnológico, resultaram em reais distopias com a ascensão, na Europa e em outros continentes, de regimes ideológicos totalitários. Aos poucos, o desvanecimento dos últimos resquícios de uma belle époque deu espaço a uma crise moral que perturbou as fronteiras da liberdade - e os limites da arte, o que levou artistas e intelectuais, dentre os quais Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980), a repensarem o seu papel na sociedade. Na produção romanesca de Sartre, encontramos a trilogia Les chemins de la liberté (1945-1949), ao longo da qual acompanhamos os eventos da Segunda Guerra Mundial a partir da consciência de personagens que discutem a liberdade em face de sua situação no mundo. Paradigmática para a literatura engajada, a trilogia sartriana apresenta muitos dos aspectos formais defendidos por Sartre em seus textos teórico-críticos: contextualizando a narrativa ao longo da guerra, a ideia de "liberdade" se encontra nos elementos composicionais das histórias e nos dilemas das personagens, livres da onisciência narratorial - o que requisita o leitor para a criação de hipóteses a respeito do que pensam (a partir de como agem) as consciências semilúcidas que interagem no universo romanesco criado por Sartre. Notamos, pois, uma relação entre a liberdade e a literatura (e a sua recíproca influência), relação que objetivamos...
Abstract: Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, humanity witnessed the traumatic overthrow of reason. Many of the modern utopias, based on the ideals of technical and technological progress, have resulted in real dystopias with the rise, in Europe and elsewhere, of totalitarian ideological regimes. Gradually, the fading of the last remnants of a belle époque gave way to a moral crisis that disturbed the frontiers of freedom - and the limits of art, prompting artists and intellectuals, including Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980), to rethink their role in society. In Sartre's romanesque production we find the trilogy Les chemins de la liberté (1945-1949), along which we follow the events of World War II from the consciousness of characters who discuss freedom in the face of their situation in the world. Paradigmatic for engaged literature, Sartre's trilogy presents many of the formal aspects defended by the author in his theoretical-critical texts: contextualizing the narrative throughout the war, the idea of "freedom" is found in the compositional elements of the stories and in the dilemmas of the characters, free of narrative omniscience - which requires the reader to create hypotheses about what they think (from how they act) the semilucidal consciousnesses that interact in the romanesque universe created by Sartre. We therefore note a relation between freedom and literature (and its reciprocal influence), a relation that we aim to investigate from the philosophical, political and literary texts of the author, and then to show how and why Sartre's thought and his production influenced and were influenced by freedom (or, rather, by its absence)
Résumé: Tout au long de la première moitié du XXe siècle, l'humanité a témoigné la débâcle traumatique de la raison. Beaucoup d'utopies modernes, basées sur les idéaux du progrès technique et technologique, ont entraîné de véritables dystopies avec l'ascension, en Europe et ailleurs, des régimes idéologiques totalitaires. Peu à peu, la disparition des derniers restes d'une belle époque a cédé la place à une crise morale qui a perturbé les frontières de la liberté - et les limites de l'art, ce qui a conduit les artistes et les intellectuels, y compris Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980), à repenser leur rôle dans la société. Dans la production romanesque de Sartre, nous trouvons la trilogie Les chemins de la liberté (1945-1949), dans laquelle nous suivons les événements de la Seconde Guerre Mondiale à partir de la conscience des personnages qui discutent la liberté face à leur situation dans le monde. Paradigmatique pour la littérature engagée, la trilogie sartrienne présente plusieurs des aspects formels préconisés par Sartre dans ses textes théoriques et critiques : en contextualisant le récit pendant toute la guerre, l'idée de « liberté » se retrouve dans les éléments de composition des histoires et dans les dilemmes des personnages, libres de l'omniscience narrative - ce qui oblige le lecteur à créer des hypothèses sur ce que pensent (à partir de la façon dont agissent) les consciences semi-lucides qui interagissent dans l'univers romanesque créé par Sartre. Nous notons donc une relation entre la liberté et la littérature (et son influence réciproque), une relation que nous cherchons à étudier à partir des textes philosophiques, politiques et littéraires de l'auteur, pour montrer comment et pourquoi la pensée sartrienne et sa production romanesque ont influencé et ont été influencés par la liberté (ou plutôt par son manque)

Full textAbstract:
In the world economy, since 1960s, countries, which are open and apply liberal policies succeeded higher economic growth and welfare. Therefore, liberal policies became more attractive. In that case, the transition, which has political, economic, and socio-cultural aspects, means moving from socialist-authoritarian structure to market based-liberal structures. In the literature, there are many studies which point out labor force and capital are not significant on the economic growth. In addition, the literature focuses on the importance of institutions on the economic growth. In this study, we compare the countries which were quickly away from the socialist structures with the countries which were slow on the reforms. Our analysis depends on their economic growth with cross section. However, we know the importance of institutional aspects on the growth research; therefore, we applied 2SLS regression analysis and to determine the economic liberalism indicators we used political rights, civil liberties, years that were under the socialism, openness, secondary school ratio, and public spending/GDP ratio. In the late phase, GDP per capita, as an indicator of economic growth, is explained with an independent variable which is predicted in the first phase via liberalism variable, and labor-population ratio and constant capital stock GDP ratio variables used in Neo-classical Solow-type growth model.

Full textAbstract:
Introdução: A bactéria Clostridium tetani, é um habitante natural do solo e encontrada nas fezes humanas e de animais domésticos, sendo mais conhecido como o agente causador do Tétano. Ela libera suas neurotoxinas transmissíveis que irão, posteriormente, cessar a neurotransmissão inibitória. E assim, podendo causar rigidez, espasmos musculares e disfunção autonômica em pessoas infectadas. Objetivos: Reunir evidências científicas a respeito da bactéria Clostridium tetani e os fatores que propiciam a sua possível infecção, bem como o tratamento ideal. Material e Métodos: Foi realizado por meio da revisão bibliográfica e relatos de caso, entre os anos de 2011 e 2020, por meio dos bancos de dados: SCIELO e MEDLINE. Resultados: Diante a realização da pesquisa, foi evidenciado que a areia, galhos, arbustos, instrumentos de lavoura, fezes de animais ou humanas, são ambientes que, em contato com algum ferimento, propiciam a infecção por Clostridium tetani. Outras pesquisas e relatos, ainda destacam também a existência desse agente infeccioso em metais enferrujados, sendo esse, o ambiente mais comum e fácil para o contágio do ser humano. Portanto, a criança ou adulto, pode se infectar tanto através de superfícies enferrujadas quanto o contato direto com o solo. Segundo dados epidemiológicos a maior incidência de tétano é acidental, através de um corte ou laceração de um material metálico enferrujado, variando de 500 mil a 1 milhão de casos no mundo, mesmo havendo a realização da vacina contra difteria, tétano e Coqueluche (DTP) antes dos dois meses de idade ou feita a reposição antitetânica quando adulto. Quando desenvolvida a infecção, a abordagem terapêutica ideal para o seu tratamento consiste, inicialmente, na limpeza do ferimento e antibioticoterapia. Em casos graves contabilizando: rigidez, espasmos musculares e a disfunção autonômica, realiza-se: sedação, bloqueio neuromuscular e suporte ventilatório. Conclusão: Tem-se que os objetos metálicos enferrujados e o contato de feridas com o solo, são as formas mais propícias à infecção pelo C. tetani. Seguidos do descuido com o protocolo imunização da vacina antitetânica.

Full textAbstract:
Unemployment is in a continious increasing trend during the 2000s in the globalized world. This fact have negative implications in accordance with the sustainable development which is the main development approach in the discourse of the globalized world. Main reasons of the unemployment in the globalized world may be explained throughout the changes and transformations in the labor process and production organization due to changing phiylosophy and regime, process and mechanizms of the capital accumulation of the capitalist system which has been based on the neo-liberal economy policy. A study about unemployment and it’s implications may be realized by using the system method and consideretaions on emerging facts and literature. After the brief explanations related to unemployment, globalized world and sustainable development, basing on the some statistical data and literature, changes in the labor process and production organization may be taken in hand. Some implications of the unemployment for sustainable development may be discussed. In this study unemployment and it’s sources were taken in hand by considerations on some data and literature. Finally, some solution propositions were tried to set up for unemployment.

"RELAÇÃO ENTRE AS ARMADILHAS EXTRACELULARES DE NEUTRÓFILOS (NETS) E A HIPERINFLAMAÇÃO INDUZIDA PELO SARS-COV-2: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA." In I Congresso Brasileiro de Imunologia On-line. Revista Multidisciplinar em Saúde, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.51161/rems/969.
Full textAbstract:
Introdução: Na forma grave de COVID-19 pode ocorrer infiltração maciça de neutrófilos no tecido pulmonar, com consequente liberação das NETs pelos neutrófilos, acarretando extenso danos às células epiteliais do pulmão. Objetivo: Compreender a relação entre as NETs e o estado hiperinflamatório induzido pelo SARS-CoV-2. Método: Revisão de literatura que incluiu estudos em língua inglesa e portuguesa, publicados no último ano, envolvendo a relação entre as NETs e a COVID-19, e indexados nas bases de dados PubMed e SciELO. A estratégia de busca foi: “NETs and COVID-19”. Foram incluídos artigos que continham dados no título ou no resumo sobre essa associação e cujo acesso ao texto completo foi possível. Resultados: A literatura foi unânime em afirmar que há uma influência do processo de formação de NETs sobre a hiperinflamação observada na COVID-19. Em geral, o processo começa com a ativação de neutrófilos por receptores de reconhecimento de padrões. Porém, o próprio SARS-CoV-2 estimula diretamente os neutrófilos a liberar as NETs, que são redes extracelulares de filamentos de cromatina, cobertas de peptídeos e enzimas, como catepsina G, elastase e mieloperoxidase. Essa liberação destrói não somente o vírus, mas também o tecido ao redor, uma vez que a resposta é inespecífica. Este processo pode exacerbar o estado inflamatório e a desregulação da resposta imune, estimulando a produção de citocinas pró-inflamatórias e acarretando a síndrome respiratória aguda grave, principal causa de morte dos pacientes com COVID. Laboratorialmente, a presença de neutrofilia associada à linfopenia sugere um pior prognóstico. Tal perpetuação depende de fatores do próprio hospedeiro, como sexo masculino, idade avançada e presença de comorbidades, como obesidade, diabetes melitos, imunossupressão, entre outras. Conclusão: O mecanismo de defesa neutrofílico por meio da liberação de NETs pode ser uma “faca de dois gumes”, em que, por um lado, pode combater eficazmente a infecção, resultando na captura e morte dos vírus; mas, por outro, pode perpetuar o estado inflamatório com dano pulmonar e piora do prognóstico. Assim, a inibição de NETs representa um potencial alvo terapêutico para COVID-19.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of the military expenditure on the economic growth and consequently on the employment has been the primary topic of the discussing in the literature of economics. Considering that the military expenditures generally emerge as a sub-item of the public spending, it has been asserted by the liberal approach that the principle of the non-productiveness of the public sector would be even more applicable in the military expenditures. None the less, using the military spending as a tool to lead an economy that feature underemployment constitutes the positive aspect of the views to the military expenditure and this is also the case of the prediction of the Keynesian economy. In this study, the effects of the military expenditure on the unemployment, which is a reflection of the effects of the economic growth, are analyzed as the subject matter. The findings revealed that the military spending has positive effects on the unemployment in some G20 states while it also has negative effects in some and has neutral effects in others. In addition, it is further indicated that the positive effects are experienced in relatively advanced economies, the negative effects emerge in relatively less developed economies, and the countries with abundant natural resources experience neutral effects.

Full textAbstract:
International funds flow freely across the countries both quantitatively and legally as a result of financial liberalization carried out by globalization process and huge amount of money flows into the countries in liberal system. Particularly for developing countries, these fund flows refer as hot money are mentioned frequently with respect of positive and negative signs. High export performance of the Netherlands as a result of discovering large natural gas reserve leads to increase rapidly its own currency. In 1959 when economic indicators getting worse, the reason of crisis appears as decreasing export in consequence of over-valued currency leads to decrease the industrial production. This paradoxical situation is named as “Dutch Disease” in economics literature. The purpose of this study is examining the effect of hot money inflow on the manufacturing sector of Turkey and testing Dutch disease for Turkish economy. In this paper, the monthly data 2006:01-2013:12 from Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey is used. Test results of causality tests that Toda-Yamamoto method (1995) and Hacker-Hatemi-J (2006) bootstrap method approve that there is no causality between portfolio investment and manufacturing industrial production index and also export. The results confirm that portfolio investments do not lead to Dutch disease for Turkey.

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses the understudied educational space of what is commonly understood as the preprofessional portfolio- development studio. It describes a design pedagogy developed to serve preprofessional and non-design-major students from liberal-arts colleges pursuing admission to a first-professional graduate degree program in architecture. Starting from the premise that in complexity lies myriad opportunities for discovery and growth, this studio establishes a robust platform for this unique group of students to encounter the richness and expansiveness of the discipline, and to understand and explore architecture’s capacities as an agent of positive change in the world. It is further argued that what a complex, case study-based design project facilitates for these beginning design students is a depth and richness of engagement, and that like a great work of literature, a complex architectural problem asks students to wrestle all at once with its many layers—with its clarity and contradictions, its strengths and shortcomings—and to evaluate its evolving place in, and meaning to society. In this light each student’s efforts to define their own approach can be shown to reveal insights not only about the object of study, but also about themselves and their own nascent interests in design, architecture, and the built environment.

Full textAbstract:
Desde una perspectiva comparatista arquitectura-literatura-pintura y Francia-Inglaterra, hemos abordado la imagen del agua en el «jardín inglés», de moda en el siglo XVIII en la literatura libertina y sentimental, y la pintura llamada «galante» y «pre-romántica» francesas (La Petite Maison de Jean-François Bastide, La Nouvelle Héloïse, de Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Les Liaisons dangereuses de Choderlos de Laclos, Point de Lendemain de Vivant Denon; lienzos y dibujos de Watteau, Boucher, Fragonard, Hubert Robert), repertoriando sus representaciones más emblemáticas, a partir de los tratados arquitectónicos sobre jardines de la época, y su trasposición ficcional e imaginaria en las obras de los escritores y pintores anteriormente indicados. Dicha trasposición se presenta en oposición al agua dentro del jardín «a la francesa», inmóvil, estanca, dominada por la mano del hombre, encerrada en estanques, lagos artificiales perfectamente simétricos y artificialmente armónicos, y fuentes-construcción arquitectónica. En efecto, en el jardín inglés, el agua se representa bajo todas sus formas naturales, libre, fluyente, brava, viva, naciente, desembocando, fuera de todo encierro arquitectónico, al menos en apariencia. Ello nos lleva a la conclusión de que el elemento acuático, si bien cohabita con los otros tres elementos esenciales que en la visión clásica componen el universo, adquiere una importancia primordial en el panorama paisajístico europeo, inglés pero también francés por influencia británica, y su representación imaginaria, y ello de manera paradójica en una época donde triunfa la razón en el pensamiento, pero donde fluye de manera libre un imaginario fresco y cambiante. Se expondrán planos de los jardines ingleses en Francia más representativos de la época y realizados por los arquitectos más notables, así como las obras de los pintores citados anteriormente donde aparecen representaciones de jardines ingleses, que se presentarán en contraste a jardines franceses que coexistieron en el siglo de las Luces con los estudiados.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.2619
