Paralelamente, a Antropologia (visual, em especial) se dá conta de que as imagens não existem sem nosso imaginário e que, por sua vez, as sociedades não poderiam emergir sem as artes. É neste horizonte que, ao lado de autores como Hans Belting, Alfred Gell e, principalmente, Georges Didi- Huberman (exegeta privilegiado do pai da iconologia moderna, Aby Warburg), pretendemos participar de um questionamento mais amplo sobre o papel das Artes (e das imagens) em uma reconfiguração do discurso antropológico. É a partir deste pano de fundo, interativo e vivencial, que procuramos investigar as obras de Alex Flemming. Com ele, tratou-se de repensar as dimensões políticas das imagens e aprender a reconhecer o que elas dizem sobre nossa condição humana no mundo contemporâneo / Abstract: Art rediscovers itself, today, as a privileged substract of human cultures and as witness of their diverse expressions and representations. In parallel, Anthropology (especially Visual Anthropology) finds that images do not exist without our imaginary and, in its turn, societies could not emerge without the arts. It is through these horizons that, among other authors such as Hans Belting, Alfred Gell and, mainly, Georges Didi-Huberman (privileged exegete of the father of modern iconology, Aby Warburg); we intend to participate in a wider questioning about the role of the Arts (and images) in a reconfiguration of the anthropological speech. It is from this interactive and experience based starting point that we investigate the work of Alex Flemming. With him, we seek to rethink the political dimensions of images and learn to recognize what they say about our human condition in the contemporary world / Mestrado / Multimeios / Mestra em Multimeios

The purpose of this thesis was to from a Swedish perspective investigate the fantastic growth rates of Estonia and Latvia and why it became such a massive collapse when the world economy was slowing down. To build a theoretical foundation for the investigation several international macroeconomic theories such as the Mundell-Flemming model, the fundamental national income equilibrium, and international parity relations were used. The empirical section shows that Estonia and Latvia have based much of their growth on imports from their Baltic and especially their Nordic neighbours. At the same time they have been highly dependent on continuously growing Nordic stock markets and high risk appetite from investors to be able to keep the fabulous growth figures. The conclusions drawn are that it has been possible for Estonia and Latvia to grow at fast rates, by running large current accounts deficits, as long as the world was in a boom. But when the world economy is slowing down they are now forced into the very painful process of re-establishing a more balanced current account.

This paper aims to explain the current account imbalances between the United States of America, Japan and China. According to theory, such imbalances should offset each other so that the international balance of payments account is zero. The study also tests the Uncovered Interest Rate Parity (UIP) theory for the same sample of countries. The focus is on the empirics of the topic, therefore time-series analysis is used. The results suggest that American current account deficit can indeed be explained by the surpluses of the Japanese and Chinese current accounts. Furthermore, the conclusion regarding the UIP is that it simply does not hold in the real world. Finally, the main implication of this study is that the Asian countries will eventually buy up American assets if the trend of imbalances continues.

This historical study of Arthur S. Flemming described the changes in his activities and views of federal education and training programs relating to aging. Flemming's public administration career included service as Chief of the Office of Defense Mobilization, Secretary of DHEW, and chairman of many presidential advisory boards and commissions. A career-long thread of concern for older Americans extended from his opposition to mandatory retirement as Civil Service Commissioner to his outstanding efforts as Commissioner on Aging to provide education and training programs for service personnel and practitioners in aging. At the end of his tenure as Commissioner on Aging, a national aging network existed that involved hundreds of thousands of paid and volunteer persons who served the needs cf the aging, and education and training related to aging had an organizational foundation at the federal level, in institutions of higher education, in the private sector, and in voluntary organizations. / Ed.

Nun liegt das letzte BIS-Heft vor. Wie fällt Ihre Bilanz aus? AF: Sehr positiv. Sowohl als Direktor der Städtischen Bibliotheken als auch im Ehrenamt für den Landesverband Sachsen im Deutschen Bibliotheksverband konnte ich regelmäßig viel Resonanz aus dem politischen Raum und von Partnern der Bibliotheken feststellen. Es hat viel Arbeit gemacht, aber die hat sich gelohnt. Die große Breite bibliothekarischer Tätigkeit in unserem Land konnte attraktiv vermittelt werden.

Ernst Flemming (1866 Radeberg -1931 Berlin), Berufung als Maler und Musterzeichner an Städtische Webeschule Berlin, ab 1918 Professor und Direktor an Höherer Fachschule für Textil- und Bekleidungsindustrie Berlin, als Textil- und Bekleidungswissenschaftler führte er die Fachschule zur größten Einrichtung ihrer Art in Europa, unterstützt die avantgardistische Kunstszene der „Goldenen Zwanziger“, verpflichtet Expressionisten wie W. Kampmann (1887-1945) als Hochschullehrer und engagiert sich als Schriftführer im „Verein Deutsches Kunstgewerbe e.V.“, im „Gesamtverband Deutscher Kunstgewerbevereine“ und als Aufsichtsratsmitglied der „Renten -und Pensionsanstalt für deutsche bildende Künstler“. Er förderte maßgeblich die textile Industriekultur, stellte sein Leben in den Dienst Textiler Kunstfertigkeiten. Enge Verbindungen bestanden zu Industriellen Berlins, zu James Simon (1851-1932) als Leiter der „Deutschen Orient-Gesellschaft“, zu zahlreichen Berliner Museen und der Akademie der Künste unter Max Liebermann (1847-1935).
