Letter from the President of EMTF

Dear Readers,

EMILIA MARIA TREVISI FOUNDATION (EMTF) is putting forward a proposal for change. 

Life carries changes: living is changing. The process through which our potentials develop into attitudes implies change. Even if we do not mean to change, we inexorably do so under the influence of the environment which involves each one of us. The moment we burst into the world we start our journey towards a sublime goal: to eventually be able to say, ' I love', 'I think' , 'I can', 'I'm free', that is, towards our own personal growth. To deny change is to become anachronistic, to refuse to face reality, to sink in loneliness and anxiety, to breed selfishness and disregard for others. To foster change, we need a harmonious man  capable of seeing himself as well as the world around him.

Thus, EMTF begins to edit  "THE EDUCATIONAL GAZETTE"  in electronic format 

We hope that browsing «THE EDUCATIONAL GAZETTE»  you will find useful and convenient information and study materials about selected educational issues in order to improve and start new roads towards a sublime goal: to eventually be able to say, ' I love', 'I think' , 'I can', 'I'm free'

We consider  important  to receive collaborations and/or suggestions  from all of you interested in educational issues, so as to  improve "THE EDUCATIONAL GAZETTE" introducing new sections.

Welcome, then, to  EMTF  and to "THE EDUCATIONAL GAZETTE", for us to grow.

      One-Dimensional Man
        The Catastrophe of Liberation, by Herbert Marcuse

"To take an (unfortunately fantastic) example: the mere absence of all advertising and of all indoctrinating media of information and entertainment would plunge the individual into a traumatic void where he would have the chance to wonder and to think, to know himself (or rather the negative of himself) and his society. Deprived of his false fathers leaders, friends, and representatives, he would have to learn his ABC's again. But the words and sentences which he would form might come out very differently, and so might his aspirations and fears.
To be sure, such a situation would be an unbearable nightmare.

Cameron (winter 2004)           Rodney Teague         Intimate Immensity in the Preschool Playroom: A Topo-analysis of Children’s Play, Rodney Teague         [...] Bachelard’s conception of space is very different from the way people typically think of space. He interrogates space not as mathematical, geometric, scientific,  infinite or empty, but rather as imaginal and poetic. He describes his method as a “recourse to the phenomenology of the imagination... understood as a study of the phenomenon of the poetic image when it emerges into the consciousness as a direct product of the heart, soul and being of [the person]” [...]      Inside and Outside in Wright's Fallingwater and Aalto's Villa Mairea, by Enku Mulugeta Assefa (spring 2003)         The philosopher Karsten Harries writes that a key task of architecture is “interpreting the world as a meaningful order in which the individual can find his place in the midst of nature and in the midst of a community” (Harries 1993, p. 51). Harries argues that, too often, buildings don’t respond to the needs of human dwelling because they are made arbitrarily instead of being let to arise out of the real-world requirements of particular people, places and landscapes.      Christus Rex et Redemptor Mundi      Giotto (Ambrogio Bondone, detto) 1267 - 1337      Giotto has become the symbol of a profound renewal in the history of Western figurative arts, and of the first radical renewal since ancient Greece. "He converted the art of painting from Greek to Latin and brought in the modern era" - this is Cennino Cennini's synthesis fifty years after Giotto's death, underscoring the revolutionary character of Giotto's painting.            Duomo of Florence      Assisi, Upper Basilica - Basilica Superiore      Padova, The Scrovegni Chapel - La Cappella degli Scrovegni      Basilica di Santa Croce      Cappella Sistina      Sistine Chapel      Wall paintings      Ceiling      Last Judgement      Master plan of the Chapel      Lin Wong      A Phenomenology of Commuting by Bicycle, by Lin Wong (2005)      In developing this phenomenology of cycling, I draw on my 20-minute bike commute between my home and the University of Toronto’s main library. I supplement my firsthand experiences with commentary from several popular accounts of cycling in general and urban cycling in particular. Phenomenology recognizes that the lived meaning of the environment reveals itself within a holistic context of understanding (Stefanovic 2000, p. 69). As such, I realize that my past experiences as a bike courier influence and enhance my commuting experience on the same streets that I once rode for my work. Religion (See Religion)      Vatican      All about the Holy See      L´Osservatore Romano         Weekly Edition in English 6 May 2009     Obama in the White House      One hundred days that didn't shake the world     The Protocols of Zion     [...] Of the Protocols themselves little need be said in the way of introduction. The book in which they are embodied was first published in the year 1897 by Philip Stepanov for private circulation among his intimate friends. The first time Nilus published them was in 1901 in a book called The Great Within the Small and reprinted in 1905. A copy of this is in the British Museum bearing the date of its reception, August 10, 1906. All copies that were known to exist in Russia were destroyed in the Kerensky regime, and under his successors the possession of a copy by anyone in Soviet land was a crime sufficient to ensure the owner's of being shot on sight [...]     Visiting the Protocols     When an international mass circulation magazine like The Reader's Digest decides to run an article on the documents generally known as The Protocols, in which Eric Butler and The League of Rights are critically mentioned, there must be a purpose. About the same time as The Reader's Digest article, which basically regurgitates the view that these documents are either a forgery or a fabrication, the Oxford University Press released a publication, The Right Road, by Dr. Andrew Moore, senior lecturer in Australian history at the University of Western Sydney.     The Digital Cultural Industry     Introduction to 'The (Digital) Cultural Industry', by Geoff Cox, Joasia Krysa & Anya Lewin    The interaction between culture and economy was famously explored by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer by the term ‘Kulturindustrie’ (The Culture Industry) to describe the production of mass culture and power relations between capitalist producers and mass consumers (1997 [1947])     Cambridge Science Park     This events noticeboard is for announcements about events, conferences, etc that may be of general interest to the companies working on the Science Park. To add your event, send the details to joanne.uttley@bidwells.co.uk Philosophy  (See Philosophy)        The Aesthetics of Decay, by Dylan Trigg In The Aesthetics of Decay, Dylan Trigg confronts the remnants from the fallout of post-industrialism and postmodernism. Through a considered analysis of memory, place, and nostalgia, Trigg argues that the decline of reason enables a critique of progress to emerge. In this ambitious work, Trigg aims to reassess the direction of progress by situating it in a spatial context. In doing so, he applies his critique of rationality to modern ruins. The derelict factory, abandoned asylum, and urban alleyway all become allies in Trigg's attack on a fixed image of temporality and progress. The Aesthetics of Decay offers a model of post-rational aesthetics in which spatial order is challenged by an affirmative ethics of ruin.       Schopenhauer and the sublime  Pleasure of Tragedy, by Dylan Trigg          More about Trigg:  Selected Essays "The Place of Trauma: Memory, Hauntings, and the Temporality of Ruins" in Memory Studies, Vol. 2, Issue: 1, 2009 "Place Becomes the Law" in Griffith Law Review, Vol. 17, Issue: 2, 2008 "Altered Place: Nostalgia, Topophobia, and the Unreality of Memory" in Journal for the Society of Existential Analysis, Vol. 18, Issue: 1, 2008.  "Furniture Music, Hotel Lobbies, and Banality: Can we Speak of a Disinterested Space?" in Space and Culture, Vol. 9: Issue 4, 2006 "Memories in Site: Towards a Renewed Understanding of Starbucks" in Environmental and Architectural Phenomenology,  Vol. 17: Issue 1, 2006 "The Everyday Uncanny: Cezanne and Merleau-Ponty on Art" in Naked Punch Vol. 1: Issue 4, 2005 "Ambiguous Boundaries: Cane Hill and the Resistance of Space" for Architecture Week, 2005 "From the Divine to the Dissolute: Schopenhauer and Death in Venice" in Consciousness, Literature and the Arts, Vol. 5: Issue, 1, 2004"Hegel and the Pathway to Despair" in Meteorite, Vol.1, Issue 4, 2004     Christopher Alexander´s Theory of Wholeness      EDRA Conference Intensive, Veracruz, Mexico, 28 May 2008, by Robert Walsh       Walsh is a licensed architect in California; a design instructor at Lawrence Technical University in Southfield, Michigan; and a doctoral student at the University of Michigan’s Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.
