These forces have been accelerating since 1926 due to the coming of the American owned Firestone rubber plantation, the largest such development in the world.

The influence of this trip on his way to see architecture is noteworthy, and also being reflected in the design of his projects. So, it's no surprise that Ortenblad s projects were cited always though few in number and in a few times in scholarly works in contexts that relate to residential architectural production from Sao Paulo and the American modern home. This dissertation, entitled "Rodolpho Ortenblad Filho: estudo sobre as residências", is the first academic research topic focused exclusively on his work, what involve for greater intelligibility of his residential projects, which have received reviews that outline its main features the necessary submission of his personal background and an overview of completed projects involving concourses and projects for various programs: school, club, industry. Rodolpho Ortenblad Filho realized hundreds of projects between the years 1950 and 1984, many of them published in Acrópole magazine - from which he was director from 1953 to 1955, a period corresponding to editions 182 to 200. His work was noticed and respected in professional circles, as demonstrated by several current testimonials from colleagues of his generation and the publish of two of his homes in the Japanese magazine World's Contemporary Houses ((ed. 5), flanked by Casa de Vidro (The Glass House), by Lina Bo Bardi, Casa do Morumbi, by Oswaldo Bratke, Casa de Canoas, by Oscar Niemeyer, Casa Milton Guper, by Rino Levi, and houses of renowned architects from Argentina, Mexico and Uruguay. / O arquiteto Rodolpho Ortenblad Filho, logo após a conclusão do curso de arquitetura na Universidade Mackenzie, em 1950, teve a oportunidade de viajar para os Estados Unidos, motivado pela vontade de conhecer as obras modernas , que até então só havia visto em revistas. É flagrante a influência que esta viagem teve na sua forma de ver arquitetura, que acabou se refletindo na concepção de seus projetos. Não é de se estranhar que os projetos de Ortenblad embora em pouco número e em poucas vezes sempre foram citados em trabalhos acadêmicos em contextos que relacionam a produção arquitetônica residencial paulista e a casa moderna norte-americana. Esta dissertação de mestrado, intitulada "Rodolpho Ortenblad Filho: estudo sobre as residências", é a primeira pesquisa acadêmica com tema centrado exclusivamente em sua obra, o que implicou para uma maior inteligibilidade de seus projetos residenciais, que mereceram análises que delineiam suas principais características na necessária apresentação de sua trajetória pessoal e de um panorama geral dos projetos realizados, que envolvem concursos e projetos para programas diversos: escola, clube, indústria. Rodolpho Ortenblad Filho realizou centenas de projetos entre os anos de 1950 e 1984, muitos deles publicados na revista Acrópole da qual foi diretor de 1953 a 1955, período correspondente às edições 182 até 200. Sua obra foi notada e respeitada no meio profissional, como atestam diversos depoimentos atuais de colegas de sua geração e a publicação de duas de suas casas na revista japonesa World's Contemporary Houses (ed. 5), ladeadas pela Casa de Vidro, de Lina Bo Bardi, a Casa do Morumbi, de Oswaldo Bratke, a Casa de Canoas, de Oscar Niemeyer, a Casa Milton Guper, de Rino Levi, e casas de importantes arquitetos da Argentina, México e Uruguai.

Atcon nasceu na Grécia e naturalizou-se norte-americano, país onde teve uma formação ampla, cursando engenharia civil (1943) e artes liberais (1951), e fazendo pós-graduação em filosofia das ciências e lógica simbólica. A partir de 1951 desenvolveu diversos trabalhos no Brasil. Neste contexto destaca-se sua atuação no campo do ensino superior que iniciou-se nos primeiros anos da CAPES (Campanha de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior) e, posteriormente, na década de 1960, no contexto dos acordos do Ministério da Educação Brasileiro (MEC) com o United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Estes acordos tinham como objetivo a criação de convênios para estimular a educação brasileira através de assistência técnica e financeira, reformulando o sistema existente. Neste período, em 1966 estimulou a criação do CRUB (Conselho de Reitores das Universidades Brasileiras), onde atuou como secretário, e redigiu um importante texto sobre o planejamento de espaços universitários, o Manual Sobre o Planejamento Integral do Campus Universitário (1970). Este livro teve ampla divulgação nas universidades brasileiras justamente no período de ampliação física das mesmas. Além do Brasil e Estados Unidos, prestou serviços a muitas universidades de países da América Latina como Venezuela, Chile, Honduras e Colômbia; na América Central: São Domingos e México. O objetivo do estudo é o entendimento do pensamento de Atcon sobre a estrutura universitária, tanto no campo educacional quanto no físico, e seu impacto no planejamento de algumas universidades brasileiras. Neste sentido foram feitas análises de dois tipos de cidades universitárias, no primeiro tipo foram estudados os campi que o próprio consultor destacava como modelos físicos de suas diretrizes: Ufes e a UFPA; a segunda seleção buscou uma universidade sem sua atuação direta, porém instituída no mesmo período das demais, com o objetivo do entendimento de como as ideias que o consultor defendia circulavam no país. Para essa análise foi selecionado campus da Unicamp. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, foram priorizadas fontes primárias tais como as publicações do próprio Rudolph Atcon no Brasil, incluindo cartas extraídas do Centro de Documentação da UNESCO e do Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação de História Contemporânea do Brasil (CPDOC); e documentos que remontam o início das universidades selecionadas. Para um entendimento mais amplo do período ainda foram utilizadas fontes secundárias compostas por textos que relatam e avaliam sua atuação no Brasil. / This paper investigates the influence of the American consultant Rudolph Atcon on the review process of higher education in Brazil in the 1960s. Atcon was born in Greece and became an American citizen, a country where he had a thorough education, coursing civil engineering (1943) and liberal arts (1951), and completing a graduate's course in philosophy of science and symbolic logic. He developed several studies in Brazil since 1951. In this context, his activities in the field of higher education stand out, which began in the early years of the CAPES (Campaign for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel) and, subsequently, in the 1960s, in the context of agreements between the Brazilian Department of Education (MEC) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). The goal of these agreements was to establish arrangements to stimulate Brazilian education through technical and financial assistance, revising the existing system. In this period, he encouraged the creation of the CRUB (Council of Deans of Brazilian Universities) in 1966, where he served as secretary and drafted an important text on the planning of university spaces, the Manual Sobre o Planejamento Integral do Campus Universitário (Manual On the Integral Planning of the University Campus, 1970). This book had a wide reach in Brazilian universities precisely at the time of their physical expansion. In addition to Brazil and the United States, he also provided services to many universities in Latin American countries, such as Venezuela, Chile, Honduras and Colombia; and in Central America: Santo Domingo and Mexico. The objective of this study is to understand Atcon's thoughts on the university structure, both in a physical and educational sense, in addition to their impact on the planning of some Brazilian universities. As such, two types of university cities were analyzed. the first type included the campuses that the consultant himself highlighted as physical models of his recommendations: Ufes and UFPA; the second selection sought out a university on which he didn’t work directly, but that was established at the same time as the others, in order to understand how the ideas advocated by the consultant circulated across the country. For this analysis the campus of Unicamp was selected. For the development of this study primary sources were given priority, such as the publications in Brazil by Rudolph Atcon himself, including letters obtained from UNESCO's Documentation Center and the Centro de Pesquisa e Documentação de História Contemporânea do Brasil (Research and Documentation Center of Contemporary History in Brazil, CPDOC); as well as documents pertaining to the founding of the selected universities. For a broader understanding of the period under study, secondary sources including texts that describe and evaluate his performance in Brazil were also used.

La crise européenne des dettes souveraines est l'occasion de constater l'instauration de nouveaux rapports entre puissances publiques nationales et marchés financiers. A la fois acteur et arbitre de la confrontation des forces du marché, l'Etat se trouve pris dans une logique concurrentielle, libérale et internationaliste qui menace sa capacité à rester la principale source d'édiction de la réglementation financière. Dans un contexte de globalisation et d'autonomisation de la sphère financière, ainsi qu'en raison des impératifs d'efficience et de compétitivité économique qui pèsent sur le droit financier, la notion même de " droit financier français " perd progressivement de son sens. Le renforcement impressionnant de l'action européenne en la matière, l'importation systématique des solutions juridiques anglo-américaines, ou encore la délégation croissante de l'édiction des normes aux experts, menacent le maintien d'un droit financier véritablement français, distinct des autres réglementations nationales. Sans doute, la régulation a vocation à changer d'échelle de manière durable et irréversible, pour accompagner l'intégration internationale des marchés financiers et épouser leur nouvelle dimension régionale, voire mondiale. Plus généralement, les modalités contemporaines de production de la norme financière disqualifient l'appareil étatique comme une source pertinente d'édiction des règles, qui sont toujours plus fines, expertes et évolutives, sans avoir pour autant perdu leur dimension politique. Tel est le dilemme fondamental de la régulation financière moderne, vouée à réconcilier la pertinence économique avec la légitimité démocratique. / The current European sovereign debts crisis is a good opportunity to observe the brand new balance of powers between national public authorities and financial markets. Both an actor and an arbitrator of the interaction between market forces, the State is increasingly following a competitive, liberal and internationalist approach to regulation that threatens its ability to remain the main source of enactment of financial rules. In a context of globalization and empowerment of the financial sphere, and under the economic imperatives of efficiency and competitiveness, the very notion of "French financial law" is losing its significance. The recent and impressive strengthening of the European financial legislation, the systematic importation of Anglo-American legal solutions, as well as the increasing delegation of the law-making to experts, all contribute to threaten the survival of a truly French financial law, distinct from other national regulations. Clearly, financial regulation is on the verge of a new international scaling to sustain the integration of financial markets and adapt to their regional, not to say global, dimension. More broadly, the modern methods of financial law-making tend to discredit the State as a relevant source to enact financial rules, themselves increasingly precise, expert and adaptive, while still quite political. Such is the key dilemma of modern financial regulation, bound to reconcile economic relevance and democratic legitimacy.

Florence Price (1887–1953) was one of the most important African American woman composers of the early twentieth century. Price's music is known for combining techniques of Western art music with elements of the African American musical heritage. Although Price composed many works for piano, from large virtuoso pieces to characteristic miniatures, this study will address only her Piano Sonata in E minor. The purpose of this study is to analyze this sonata and discuss her compositional techniques and musical style as a combination of African American elements and Classical European procedures, combined and coordinated yet remaining in tension. Traditional European harmony, tonality, and form are successfully combined with African American characteristics: pentatonic scale, spirituals, syncopations, repetition, and dance rhythms. Indeed, Price's work is a considerable achievement, and she is one of the important African American women composers who should be better recognized today.
