Onderzoekt de relatie tussen spiritisme en modernisme in de Braziliaanse architectuur. Centraal in het boek staat een systematische vergelijking van de spiritistische stad Nosso Lar (1944), zoals beschreven door het medium Chico de Xavier en de modernistische ideaalstad Brasília (1956), de hoofdstad van Brazilië, naar een ontwerp van Lúcio Costa en Oscar Niemeyer

Sovereignty and what it means is less discussed on Political Science and International Relations. May be we could justify it because of the empiric and positivism that even more support that studies. However, the main justification could be found on the way as the rational sovereigns has crossed the modern and contemporary political body -- seems to be the air we breathe. This article will try to deconstruct this impregnation and to alert to the uncertain consistence of sovereignty by stressing its architecture. Adapted from the source document.

Angola Cinema' honors the fantastic, unique and unknown architecture of movie theaters in Angola, built in the decades before the end of Portuguese colonial rule in 1975. Initially designed as traditional closed spaces, later in the 1960s open air cinemas with terrace bars became the order of the day, so much better adapted as they were to the tropical climate. The arrival of these cinemas brought elegance to the business of going to the movies.0But it is not only this exceptional architecture which impresses us and mirrors the experimental spirit of its ambitious and visionary builders. Visiting the cinema was a communal act—it was a place where young met old, where people fell in love and where liberation from colonialism was a feasible option.0Examining the architectural history of these buildings, this book is also a document of urban organization in the 20th century, as well as the changing mentalities of a society living with the possibility of its foreseen independence. What has changed since then, and what is the future of these urban cathedrals? 'Angola Cinema' poses such questions in a book that both preserves these architectonic treasures and reflects on their cultural, social and affective heritage

In a moment that NATO is celebrating its 60th anniversary, that the new American administration is defining its foreign policy agenda, & that the three major European powers have Atlantic approaches, it is particular relevant to make the state of the art of NATO & the European Union relationship in the post-9/11 international security architecture. There are two fundamental reasons that motivate this article: the emergence of new state & non-state actors & the urgency of a new transatlantic paradigm to face the current threats & international challenges.
