This is a brief overview of the career of the Canadian-born, American abstract expressionist painter Philip Guston. The discussion begins by contextualizing Guston's work within the era in art history in which he painted, with particular attention given to issues pertaining to the Cold War. Guston began as a social realist but gradually evolved into an abstract artist, a development which the article carefully tracks. Guston is presented as an artist who was particularly touched by the times in which he lived, as his work was informed by domestic & international issues as diverse as the rise of the Ku Klux Klan, the Great Depression, the Spanish Civil War, the Second World War, & the Vietnam War. The discussion concludes with a summation of Guston's universal tragic sense. R. Young

This is a critical appraisal of the work of Albrecht Altdorfer, as seen within the context of his painting depicting Alexander the Great's victory at the Battle of Issus. While the case can certainly be made that Altdorfer is notable for being the first European painter to compose independent landscapes, he is every bit as notable for belonging to two distinct schools of painting simultaneously, the stylistically distinct schools of Flanders & Italy. After placing Altdorfer within these contexts, the article uses his Issus landscape as a springboard for a discussion of the nexus between art & politics in his work. The discussion concludes with an overview of the critical reception of Altdorfer's work through the centuries. R. Young

O facto turístico é um facto social total – com dimensões económicas, culturais, sociais, políticas – complexo e antigo. Começou, assim poderíamos dizer, quando o indivíduo se afastou da sua aldeia, da sua cidade, para dormir, pelo menos uma noite, num lugar que não lhe era familiar. Esta definição não faz, no entanto, a diferença entre o viajante especialista – explorador, aventureiro, missionário e filósofo dos séculos das Luzes, etnólogo, arqueólogo, escritor e pintor do século XIX – e o viajante lúdico, o turista do século XX. Este artigo trata das motivações de quem se desloca: encontro do outro, busca por si mesmo, procura de uma identidade. Através de citações literárias, procura-se conhecer como se viajava ao longo do tempo, a evolução do perfil do viajante e o que tenderia a se tornar no início do século XXI. ; The phenomenon of tourism is a total social fact – with economic, cultural, social, political dimensions – both complex and old. Tourism may be said to have begin when someone left his/her village, his/her home town, to sleep, at least for one night, in an unfamiliar place. This definition, however, does not clarify the difference between the specialist traveller – explorer, adventurer, missionary and philosopher of the Enlightenment era, or ethnologist, archaeologist, writer and painter of the nineteenth century – and the leisure traveller, the twentieth century tourist. This article deals with the motivations of those who travel: the encounter with the other, the search for self-discovery, the search for identity. With the aid of literary quotations, the article attempts to discern how people have travelled in different epochs, the past evolution of the profile of the traveller and its likely evolution in the early 21st century.

Context: With the growing denunciations of violence and injustices in the social relationship, inside and outside schools, education based on human rights is insurgent in the current system of teaching and learning. Using the concept of school as a process of scientific, social and political construction, we planned the teaching and learning process of chemical interactions using the art of graffiti as a playful activity. Objectives: Reflection on chemistry teaching beyond the concepts of natural sciences, but also towards social issues to promote an education that transfigures the traditional model established by the hegemonic power during Brazilian history. Design: We use an ethnographic case study as a method. Scenario and Participants: In this way, we chose to bring graffiti art to chemistry workshops, since the paints are fixed on urban walls through chemical interactions between substances, building images and/or protest phrases that make us rethink the injustices and inequalities existing in Brazilian society and to dialogue the emergence of this art in the black movement with the political aspects of Human Rights. Thirteen students enrolled in a state basic education high school in the city of Goiânia-GO, Brazil, joined the workshops on Human Rights, Graffiti and Chemistry. Eight graffiti artists also participated in the workshop for free. Data collection and analysis: We used transcripts of semi-structured interviews and video-recorded workshops to categorise the data, analysing them with the Descending Hierarchical Classification technique and the use of dendrograms performed by the Iramuteq Software. Results: We obtained categories that evidence the chemical understanding of the content of chemical interactions and the socio-political understanding of human rights, and seven drawings on graffiti murals that show this correlation. Conclusions: The transgression of morals and the empowerment of the subordinate promote playfulness in the individual or collective social visibility of individuals, enabling better assimilation of scientific and social content.

The present paper intends to map "the power over women's bodies" and "the power of women's bodies" in an attempt to understand the constitution of the body-territory from the lines that cross and cut it - the affections of which it is capable of. To this end, two paintings from the "Atlas" collection by the Spanish painter and illustrator Fernando Vicente Sánchez (1963) are used in order to think about politics and body-territory from two signs that have historically mapped women: maternity and sex. The works in this collection are made by painting bodies on old cartographic slides, thus metamorphosing the bodies into geographic territories. Questioning the female body from the concept of territory is fundamental to reflect on the political action of the body and on the body, because it is in and through the body that politics invests as production of ways of existence. ; Este texto intenta cartografiar "el poder sobre el cuerpo de la mujer" y "el poder del cuerpo de la mujer" buscando comprender la constitución del cuerpo-territorio a partir de líneas que lo cruzan y lo cortan. Para ello, se utilizan dos pinturas de la colección "Atlas" del pintor e ilustrador español Fernando Vicente Sánchez (1963) para pensar la política y el cuerpo/territorio a partir de dos signos que históricamente cartografiaron la mujer: la maternidad y el sexo. Las obras de esa colección están hechas a partir de la pintura de cuerpos en antiguas láminas cartográficas, metamorfoseando de esta manera los cuerpos en territorios geográficos. La interpelación del cuerpo de la mujer basada en el concepto de territorio es fundamental para reflejar la acción política del cuerpo y sobre el cuerpo, ya que es en el cuerpo y a través de éste donde la política se desarrolla como una producción de modos de existencia. ; O presente texto pretende cartografar "o poder sobre o corpo da mulher" e "o poder do corpo da mulher", buscando compreender a constituição do corpo-território a partir de linhas que o atravessam e cortam – os afetos de que é capaz. ...
