Le travail de Willem Boshoff s’articule autour de la date charnière d’avril 1994, les premières élections démocratiques en Afrique du Sud. Il fait des sculptures en granite et des installations de matériaux accumulés. L’artiste revendique son attachement à un art basé sur le langage, il est écrivain de dictionnaires. En revisitant les questions posées par les artistes du XXème siècle, textes et œuvres produits en Europe sont systématiquement vérifiés au regard de leur contrepartie sud-africaine. L’attitude de Boshoff, une mélancolique interrogation de son rôle de créateur, s’explique par les conditions politiques et son milieu culturel. L’artiste découvre des façons plus dynamiques de faire geste quand il adopte ce persona du druide. Lors de son objection de conscience au service militaire il avait appris qu’il est mieux de cacher la véritable signification d’un signe ou d’inventer des façons de disqualifier les textes. Les “Notes pour une esthétique aveugle” où l’essentiel n’est pas visible, inventent un dictionnaire à être lu avec les mains. Boshoff interroge ici les théories de perception qui munissent l’artiste sud-africain d’une façon de faire basculer le monde occidental vers une pensée qu’il peut réclamer sienne. La multiplicité des langues en Afrique du Sud s’ouvre à des questions de mémoire, d’écologie, de disparition, d’espace mental, des limites de la ficticité. Boshoff incite son spectateur à une opération de traduction qui peut être envisagée de façon tangible dans des œuvres tels que “Writing in the Sand” et les “Jardins de mots”. Le druide est le berger des mots et des plantes en danger d’oubli. Par le même geste il les protège contre la possibilité d’être pétrifiés ou fossilisés dans une théorie ou dans un dogme. Un champ d’intelligibilité du travail de Boshoff est créé à l’aide d’esprits apparentés: Sarkis, Mofokeng, Baumgarten, Gette, Mudzunga, Ulrichs, Zulu, Kosuth, Wafer, Bochner, Filliou, Darboven, Alÿs, Acconci, Langa, Marshall McLuhan, Ivan Vladislavić. / Willem Boshoff’s work articulates around a pivotal date, April 1994, the first democratic elections in South Africa. He may choose to work gigantic rocks of granite or establish vast installations of accumulated material. The artist claims that his work is based on language, often taking the form of Dictionaries. While reviewing the main questions by artists of the twentieth century, texts or artworks from Europe are systematically tested against their South African counterpart. Boshoff’s attitude is determined by a melancholic questioning of his role as a creator linked to a political situation and cultural milieu. He discovers more dynamic ways of presenting gestures when his artistic activity is related to the way of life of a druid. As a conscientious objector he learnt that it is often better to hide the true signification of a sign or to disqualify a text. Boshoff’s “Notes towards a blind Aesthetic”, where the essential is not visible, invent a dictionary to be read with the hands. Questioning perception theories provides the artist with a way of capsizing the occidental world towards patterns of thinking that he can claim for himself. The multiplicity of languages in South Africa opens up to questions of memory, ecology, disappearance, mental space as a site of creation, experiments with the limits of the fictional. The druid is one exceptional character amongst others in the contemporary art world. Boshoff obliges his visitor to participate in an act of translation which is given provisional but tangible form in such works as “Writing in the Sand” and the “Gardens of Words”. The druid becomes the guardian of words and plants in danger of being forgotten also safeguarding them against being petrified or fossilized into a set theory or dogma. Kindred spirits working on all continents are: Sarkis, Mofokeng, Baumgarten, Mudzunga, Ulrichs, Kosuth, Wafer, Bochner, Gette, Filliou, Darboven, Alÿs, Acconci, Langa, Marshall McLuhan and Ivan Vladislavić.

The desideratum was to verify if the teaching material used for the Sociology class exposes the citizenship as a formal concept, so defined by the liberal sociologist T.H. Marshall. He assumes that there are antagonistic social classes and that the struggle for democratic rights occurs naturally as part of the historical development. Among the authors we use as a reference, the following stand out: besides Marshall, John Locke, Norberto Bobbio, Decio Saes, Newton Duarte, Ivo Tonet, Nilda Teves Ferreira, Marcos Francisco Martins, and others. The literature review worked with the concept of citizenship from the etymology, the perspective of historical and dialectical materialism, from the liberal interpretation of the concept, as well as criticizing the liberal concept. The study also presents a brief historical of sociology teaching in high school and analyze show the concept of citizenship is treated in textbooks, indicated by National Textbook Program. In the last chapter of this work, we presents the results of fieldwork, which consisted in a questionnaire with open and closed questions made to five teachers of Sociology from Sorocaba area and twentyseven students as well. / Esta pesquisa procurou responder qual é a concepção de cidadania resultante do ensino de Sociologia na 3ª série do Ensino Médio oferecido pela rede estadual de São Paulo na região de Sorocaba-SP. O desiderato foi o de verificar se o material pedagógico destinado à Sociologia expõe a cidadania como um conceito formal, conforme a definição do liberal sociólogo T. H. Marshall. Ele parte do pressuposto de que existem classes sociais antagônicas e de que a luta pela conquista de direitos democráticos ocorre naturalmente, no quadro do evolutivo desenvolvimento histórico. Dentre os autores que usamos como referência, destacam-se os seguintes: o próprio Marshall, John Locke, Norberto Bobbio, Décio Saes, Newton Duarte, Ivo Tonet, Nilda Teves Ferreira, Marcos Francisco Martins, para citar os mais significativos neste trabalho. A revisão bibliográfica trabalhou com o conceito de cidadania a partir da etimologia, da perspectiva do materialismo histórico e dialético, da acepção liberal do conceito, assim como críticas ao conceito liberal. A pesquisa também apresenta um sucinto histórico do ensino de Sociologia no Ensino Médio e analisa como o conceito de cidadania é tratado nos livros didáticos, indicados pelo PNLD 2012 de Sociologia. No último capítulo da dissertação é apresentado o resultado do trabalho de campo, que consistiu em aplicação de questionários, a partir de perguntas abertas e fechadas, a cinco professores(as) de Sociologia da região de Sorocaba, assim como a vinte e sete alunos(as).

I uppsatsen undersöks skildringen av vissa inre tillstånd i Eyvind Johnsons Nu var det 1914: olika typer av ensamhet (i förhållande till andra människor, existentiell och platsrelaterad), rörelse i tanken och rörelse mellan sinnesstämningar. Vidare analyseras kopplingar mellan tillstånden och moderniteten, liksom vilka attityder till den senare som kommer till uttryck i romanen. Undersökningen sker genom en tematisk metod och närläsning med verket i förgrunden, men med modernitetens framträdande konturer som fond. De olika varianterna av ensamhet och rörelse är framträdande teman och skildras i någon mån genom dialog, men främst genom huvudpersonens medvetandeström. Tillstånden står nästan undantagslöst i samband med moderniteten i form av dess gryende samhällsansvar för individens materiella behov, ökad rörlighet till följd av industrialisering och utbyggnad av moderna kommunikationer, effektivisering av arbetsprocesser, större fokus på den enskilde individen och vetenskapens och rationalitetens växande inflytande. Endast i fråga om ett fall av platsrelaterad ensamhet saknas kausal förbindelse – då finns i stället en tydlig koppling till det förmoderna[1]. Uttrycken av ensamhet och inre rörelse, liksom deras förhållande till det moderna, förstärks genom strukturer i texten och symbolik. Den hållning till moderniteten som uttrycks är komplex och nyanserad.

The United States Army of the Second World War faced a shortage of manpower after two decades of budgetary and organizational neglect following the post-First World. According to the Chief of Staff, George C. Marshall, this period of mobilization, between 1939 and 1941, was the most crucial of the entire war. In this period, the United States Army pursued large-scale peacetime mobilization, breaking from eighty years of traditional policy. As such, the effort to increase allocations for armaments, industrial expansion, tactical reorganization of the ground forces, mobilizing the National Guard, and the implementation of a peacetime draft all faced an uphill political battle to accomplish, reflecting the complicated political factionalism of the late New-Deal United States. Between the outbreak of hostilities in Europe in 1939 and December 1941, the United States Army grew from less than 150,000 men to more than 1 million personnel, incorporating the National Guard and inductees while also adopting many of the weapon systems it would use throughout the conflict. By mobilizing a usable core for a wartime army and vetting its general tactics and doctrine in peacetime, the Army leadership provided a cadre capable of responding to some of the Allied powers' strategic requirements during the critical year of 1942.
