Escrever imagens em nome da guerra em Nostalgia de Maria Lusitano: quando a colónia mostra a metrópole
Creators: name: Cachola, Ana Cristina
Publisher: name: Comunicação & Cultura
Year: 2011

description: Este artigo discute o papel da arte contemporânea na representação e produção de uma identidade cultural portuguesa na sua relação com a guerra colonial e o Império. Partindo da análise do vídeo Nostalgia, de Maria Lusitano Santos, problematiza-se a função das imagens (de arquivo) na revisão do passado recente português, onde a Guerra Colonial se assume como episódio incontornável. Nostalgia recupera uma aceitação (da invisibilidade) deste conflito, negada, contudo, pela própria acção criativa que confere visibilidade a estas questões.

description: Issue 22 of Colloquy: text, theory, critique is largely comprised of papers arising from the conference Collaborations in Modern and Postmodern Visual Art, which was hosted by Monash University in 2010. It also contains an article by Sean McQueen which reflects upon the changing significance of the cyborg as a figure of science fiction, focusing on its unlikely portrayal in J. G. Ballard's Crash and Cronenberg's film adaptation of the novel. The issue is completed by a translation of three Spanish Golden Age sonnets by Jorge Salavert. Our thanks go to the many referees who made this issue possible.

description: Protonated benzylamine and its N-methylated derivatives, [C6H5CH2NH3−n(CH3)n]+ (n = 0−3), have been adopted as cations in chlorocadmate(II) and chlorocuprate(II) complexes, showing inorganic-organic hybrid architectures. For the Cd(II) compounds, the anionic structures vary from perovskite-type layers (n = 0) to chains (n = 1-3). For Cu(II) compounds, the anionic structures range from perovskite-type layers (n = 0), chains (n = 1) to mononuclear species (n = 2-3). Coordination geometries of the metal ions and intermolecular interactions have been analyzed. Their dielectric properties have been measured.

description: Objective: This study aimed to identify the traffic flow variables contributing to crash risks under different traffic states and to develop a real-time crash risk model incorporating the varying crash mechanisms across different traffic states.Methods: The crash, traffic, and geometric data were collected on the I-880N freeway in California in 2008 and 2009. This study considered 4 different traffic states in Wu's 4-phase traffic theory. They are free fluid traffic, bunched fluid traffic, bunched congested traffic, and standing congested traffic. Several different statistical methods were used to accomplish the research objective.Results: The preliminary analysis showed that traffic states significantly affected crash likelihood, collision type, and injury severity. Nonlinear canonical correlation analysis (NLCCA) was conducted to identify the underlying phenomena that made certain traffic states more hazardous than others. The results suggested that different traffic states were associated with various collision types and injury severities. The matching of traffic flow characteristics and crash characteristics in NLCCA revealed how traffic states affected traffic safety. The logistic regression analyses showed that the factors contributing to crash risks were quite different across various traffic states. To incorporate the varying crash mechanisms across different traffic states, random parameters logistic regression was used to develop a real-time crash risk model. Bayesian inference based on Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations was used for model estimation. The parameters of traffic flow variables in the model were allowed to vary across different traffic states. Compared with the standard logistic regression model, the proposed model significantly improved the goodness-of-fit and predictive performance.Conclusions: These results can promote a better understanding of the relationship between traffic flow characteristics and crash risks, which is valuable knowledge in the pursuit of improving traffic safety on freeways through the use of dynamic safety management systems.

description: “Cybernetic organism,” or cyborg, is one of science fiction‟s (hereafter sf) numerous oppositional terms, like “virtual reality” or “artificial intelligence.” As these phrases become less fantastic and more conversational, the tension between their oppositions frequently goes unnoticed. By contrast, the tension between sf, where the cyborg is most familiar, and reality has never been more noticeable. Sf has prophesised many technoscientific developments, including the escalator, the credit card and the video call. On the extreme end is the atomic bomb, a wild invention in H. G. Wells‟s The World Set Free (1914)1 that inspired scientific inquiry. But where does the cyborg, as trope and mega-text, iconography and perhaps social reality, fit in?
É apenas um jogo: a história dos media, do desporto e do público
Creators: name: Gumbrecht, Hans Ulrich
Publisher: name: Comunicação & Cultura
Year: 2012

description: No capítulo final da obra Making Sense in Life and Literature, que aqui se apresenta numa tradução inédita para português, Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht traça um breve resumo histórico daquelas que considera serem as relações mais imediatas, mas por certo nem sempre as mais óbvias, entre o percurso da literatura e o do desporto, dedicando especial atenção ao período compreendido entre os finais do século xix e o século xx. Com a ênfase colocada sobre a inevitável distinção entre as atividades do corpo e da mente, e o modo como estas têm sido simultaneamente distinguidas e conjugadas, Gumbrecht procura sustentar o argumento de que os desportos de espectadores, que se afirmaram como um elemento fundamental da vida quotidiana nas sociedades modernas ao longo do último século, têm assumido igualmente a função essencial de permitir a compensação, mesmo que ilusória, da exclusão corporal que as práticas dos países industrializados vieram institucionalizar.

description: Em sua investigação sobre as mutações do individualismo na França desde os anos de 1980, o sociólogo Alain Ehrenberg chamou a atenção para a emergência de um disseminado fenômeno social: «o culto da performance», novo credo que combina um modelo de ação e de justiça com um estilo de existência. Através da análise crítica de diversos tipos de textos midiáticos, esse artigo examina como a prática, os símbolos e os valores das atividades esportivas se tornaram um dos mais importantes referenciais da iniciativa individual e da justa competição em uma sociedade focada na performance.

Rituais do espetáculo de ciclismo: hierarquias e seu significado

description: A escala da visibilidade mediática conseguida pelo Tour de França face à Volta a Portugal em bicicleta é o ponto de partida para questionar as hierarquias sociais, políticas e económicas que nas cerimónias do pódio se evidenciam e se celebram. Pretende-se também, a partir do estudo comparativo entre o Tour e a Volta, aplicar o programa teórico da interação ritual de Randall Collins, a fim de questionar a exclusão do espetáculo desportivo da categoria dos rituais formais e contrariar a ideia de «artificialidade da experiência vivida» aplicada pelo autor à participação neste tipo de rituais. Para contrariar esta ideia ligada à artificialidade da experiência, proponho uma análise comparativa entre a Volta e o Tour para demonstrar que nenhum destes rituais é autónomo e independente do desejo de identificação e de identidade por parte dos atores sociais, dos grupos ou das comunidades que se envolvem quer na sua organização, quer na festa que o seu espetáculo constitui.

description: Os media desportivos conheceram um desenvolvimento extraordinário nos últimos anos em muitos países europeus, especialmente nos da zona do Mediterrâneo, tornando-se o produto jornalístico mais bem-sucedido do mercado. A emergência deste tipo de jornalismo tem sido especialmente notória na imprensa, onde se destaca não só como uma das principais secções dos mainstream media de maior prestígio, mas também como a área de informação com o maior número de títulos especializados. No entanto, a maioria do conteúdo desportivo é sobre futebol, que se tornou a base do negócio de media por causa da sua enorme capacidade para atrair audiência e anunciantes. Futebol em excesso tornou-se um elemento-chave da dramatização do jornalismo, relegando para segundo plano conteúdos mais puramente informativos sobre outros desportos. Este artigo aborda este problema, propondo um estudo de caso das capas de quatro grandes jornais desportivos europeus: L’Équipe, La Gazzetta dello Sport, Marca e A Bola.

description: A green and efficient method for direct preparation of 3-cyanopyridine from aromatic aldehydes is reported. A series of novel 4-aryl-2-amino-6-(naphthalene-1-yl)-3-cyanopyridine derivates were successfully prepared by one-pot synthesis of three-component domino reactions including aromatic aldehydes, 1-acetylnaphthalene, and dicyanomethane in the presence of ammonium acetate in a solution of ethanol under microwave irradiation. This synthetic method for these compounds possesses many advantages including greater yield and shorter reaction times compared with traditional methods. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by means of high-resolution mass spectrometry, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and infrared. Moreover, the results of their fluorescent spectra showed that these compounds have good fluorescence intensity excited by the visible light wavelength of 416 nm.

description: In 1989, at the old Australian Centre for Contemporary Art in the Domain Gardens, we saw the collaborative duo Russian artists Komar and Melamid talk about their work. We were both fascinated. We loved the sheer skill of the socialist realism of their work, its cleverness, and the weird mysteriousness of not knowing who did what, there being really one artist out of two. Back in the studio, as we talked about it, we gradually realized how relevant this was to us, for we’d been talking about how much we wished elements in photographs, such as the still life bric a brac, the pages of text, the shiny surfaces, could move into paintings, to get the deep somber spaces of Green’s paintings and his background in conceptual art into Brown’s photographs of carefully arranged objects and texts. A recent series of re-created pre-collaboration works (figures 1 and 2) was a way of recapitulat-ing, understanding and absorbing that pre-collaboration history into our work via a retrospectively mapped timeline.

description: In art-historical literature, French nineteenth-century painters Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas are often portrayed as high-bourgeois artists, close in class allegiance and urbanity. However, they were two very different kinds of bourgeois and they went about their art in very different ways. Manet wanted and could afford to remain alone in his heroic struggle for success, promoting himself as a solitary genius, or “temperament,” as Zola called it. Degas, instead, was a bohemian almost all his life, working within the rebellious Parisian culture of solidarity among artists.

description: While much of Daw and Russell‘s past work has been more research-based, engaging, say, with particular cultural narratives, or responding to a particular context, Two Homes grew out of their physical engagement with the extraordinary spatial arena of the Melbourne Cricket Ground. In the early days of their Fellowship at the MCG, Daw and Russell would spend many hours sitting in the empty arena, discussing project ideas, and they were struck by the peacefulness of the experience, the only sounds being birdsong and the toiling groundsmen, crafting the pitch with deliberation and care. In the empty arena the methodical and striking patterning of the lawn became obvious and of growing interest, as did the scale, monumentality and the almost spiritual peacefulness that would settle over the entire empty site. They had started to do some initial research into the significance of the site for aboriginal communities, and about the place it held now in the hearts and minds, not only of many Melbournians, but indeed, of many Australians.

description: In this project, we explored the conditions needed for stable magnetic levitation by positioning a large disk-shaped magnet on a conductive plate, with a smaller magnet moving below it. This setup generated a levitating effect driven by forces including eddy currents, Lorentz force, and magnetic field repulsion. Using a data logger, multiple-turn coils, and a flux sensor, we tracked electromagnetic variations across different magnet shapes and copper plate configurations. Key findings showed that increasing the mass of the top magnet and conductive plate while reducing the bottom magnet’s strength led to greater stability.

We developed mathematical models to analyze the impact of magnet shape on flux density, validated through Green’s theorem and Poisson’s equation. Our study concluded that stable levitation could be consistently achieved by optimizing mass, distance, and field strength. These insights can support advancements in magnetic levitation technology and design.

description: Claude Monet's Grandes Décorations were his last and greatest works. How did Monet complete them? The scale is massive, so is the number of paintings. Monet was an old man, beset by infirmities that included bad eyesight and arthritis. Gone were the days when Monet set off to paint en plein air in all weathers. After the death of his wife Alice in 1911, Monet ceased to work, confiding to Rodin, that he felt ―lost, annihilated. Suddenly, in 1914, he began the Grandes Décorations.

description: To obtain more accessible oxidative stress inhibitors, a series of novel spin-labelled derivatives of 3-hydroxybutanolide (2a–d, 3a–d) with the natural active compound (kinsenoside) as the lead compound were designed, synthesised from the nitroxide free radical piperidine (pyrroline) and the main structural unit of kinsenoside: 3-hydroxybutanolide. Antioxidant activity screening of these derivatives was performed using MTT method on rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. The antioxidative stress effect was further investigated on the changes of the important antioxidant enzyme activities and intracellular reactive oxygen species production. Among the derivatives, 2b–d, 3a and 3c showed comparable or superior antioxidative stress activity to kinsenoside. Also, most of the tested derivatives displayed obvious antioxidative ability in concentrations. Cytotoxic assay simultaneously indicated that all compounds had very low toxicity to normal cells. Based on the observed results, the structure–activity relationship of these derivatives was discussed.
Characterisation and modelling of flow mechanisms for direct contact condensation of steam injected into water
Creators: name: Petrovic-De With, Anka
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2006
Subjects: direct contact condensation, condensation regime, steam plume length, steam plume shape, heat transfer coefficient

description: Direct contact condensation of steam injected into water is a special mode of condensation where condensation occurs on the interface between steam and water. This type of condensation forms an essential part of various industrial applications and correct prediction and modelling of the condensation behaviour is crucial to obtain an optimised design of such devices. While present prediction models for direct contact condensation are valid for a limited range of flow conditions only, the work presented in this thesis provides improved models for direct contact condensation. The models are developed in the form of diagrams and include: a condensation regime diagram, for predicting the condensation behaviour, a steam plume length diagram, for predicting the penetration distance of steam into water, and a heat transfer coefficient diagram. These models are derived using a wide range of data and therefore provide more accurate predictions compared with alternative models available in literature. In contrast to present models, the derived models presented in this work are constructed using an additional physical parameter to describe the process. The diagrams are validated against independent experiments and demonstrate close agreement. Furthermore, the predictions from the condensation regime diagram and steam plume length diagram are self-consistent. The models developed in this study are capable of predicting condensation behaviour for a wide range of initial conditions and can be used in conjunction with computational fluid dynamics techniques for direct contact condensation.
Brain injury and the experience of caring : intrapersonal aspects from a personal construct perspective
Creators: name: Crawford, Adeline Ann
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2006

description: Significant proportions of carers for those with a brain injury have been found to be clinically anxious and depressed. Subjective carer burden (SCB) has been defined as the distress experienced as a result of the observed changes in the person with the brain injury. No research has looked at the individual psychological characteristics, or intrapersonal aspects, of the carer in brain injury in relation to SCB and psychological distress. Very few studies have addressed apparent methodological problems regarding the measurement of SCB; no study in brain injury has explored the meanings carers have found in their role; and very few studies have included positive elements of caring in their research. This study used a non-experimental, non-randomised, cross-sectional design. A theoretically based measure of SCB was used, in combination with a Personal Construct Psychology methodology, to investigate the relationship between the intrapersonal aspects of carers and their relationship to SCB and psychological distress. Positive appraisals of caring and meanings the carers derived from their role were also investigated. Few predicted study hypotheses were supported. Results showed that a significant proportion of carers were anxious and or depressed and that the majority of carers were shown to have very tight construct systems reflective of having limited flexibility in thinking. Novel findings included the previously unreported relationship between perceived burden, a measure of SCB, and anxiety. The manner in which carers construed the brain injured person was found to be related to the appraisals they form, thus adding to the evidence of the importance of the role of construing of the brain injured person by family members. Meanings derived from caring emerged in a number of themes. 60% of carers' meanings could be categorised in the following three themes: life circumstances, emotional states and health and illness. Carers generated positive as well as negative meanings. Findings were considered in relation to previous SCB and Personal Construct Psychology research. Clinical implications of the structure of construct systems in this population were considered. Suggestions for future research with an emphasis on the development of clinical practice were included.

description: Further chemical investigation on the marine sponge Callyspongia sp. collected from South China Sea led to the isolation of a new diketopiperazine, named callysponine A (1), as well as four known diketopiperazines, namely cyclo-(Gly-Pro) (2), cyclo-(Thr-Pro) (3), cyclo-(Ile-Pro) (4) and cyclo-(Pro-Pro) (5). The new structure was determined on the basis of NMR and MS analysis, and the absolute stereochemistry was defined by analysis of the coupling constants and optical rotation. The structures of the known compounds were identified by comparing their spectroscopic data with those reported in the literature. Compounds 1–5 did not inhibit the growth of HepG2 (hepatoma carcinoma cell), A549 (lung carcinoma cell) and HeLa (cervical cancer cell) cell lines.
The stability of stratified layers within ventilated enclosures
Creators: name: Pikos, Konstantinos
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2006

description: The project consists of experimental and numerical investigation of buoyancy-dominated flow leading to thermal stratification in ventilated spaces for the range of Re from 4,000 to 50,000 and Rio below 40. In the evolution of turbulence in stratified shear flows, solving for the primitive variables both in time and space is most important. Steady-state Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) simulations have shown in the past to model adequately the flows that become eventually steady-state. Therefore, three-dimensional steady-state CFD models were used to simulate the flow. The experimental set-up used an Environmental Test Chamber to investigate the stratification in buildings. Temperature differential was created by introducing cold air through a terminal at floor level and hot air through a diffuser pointing vertically downwards at the ceiling level. An extract point was located opposite to the inlets at the rear wall. Different combinations of inlet velocities/flow rates, temperatures as well as different arrangements of the exhaust height were studied to evaluate its effect on velocity and temperature distribution and the effect of jet flow interaction with the stratified layers. The experimental data obtained in this work were also used to validate the predictions from the numerical simulations so that CFD was used to perform more parametric simulations. To model turbulence in the flow field, the appropriateness of several eddy-viscosity based turbulence models was evaluated. The turbulence models used were the standard k-c model, the k-e Chen-Kim modified model, a Low- Re modification and the RNG k -c model. All models are in close agreement with each other. The buoyancy extended standard k-e model gives a sharper prediction of mixing in the interface. The physics of the flow are well predicted. The hot jet from the ceiling is buoyed up when it reaches the height of the interface where buoyancy forces dominate gravitational forces marking its appearance on the temperature gradient. From the simulations made at this stage, the characteristics of stratified layers are revealed. It is also shown that the interface height is proportional to the exhaust height for certain room temperatures and velocities. In a comparison between experimental results and numerical simulation, the differences are attributed on the non-adiabatic effects such as heat losses and radiation. A correlation is found between inlet parameters and stratified flow in buildings obtained both experimentally and computationally.

description: In April 1917, under the warmth of the Italian Mediterranean sun, two modernist titans began a friendship that would lead to a special artistic collaboration. Pablo Picasso and Igor Stravinsky were brought together as artists commissioned by Serge Diaghilev’s celebrated and notorious Ballets Russes. From 1917 until 1919 the pair engaged in an artistic dialoguewhich formed the basis for their collaboration on Ragtime. The journey from friendship to collaborators and the fascinating artistic works this yielded are often neglected in the vast literature on each of these geniuses. I argue, however, that the works Picasso and Stravinsky produced in friendship from 1917 to 1919 reveal insights into their eventual collaboration on Ragtime, where each tried to capture the other’s medium in his own. Although Ragtime is a comparatively small work that is often considered incidental,especially when compared to their ballet collaboration on Pulcinella (1920),it is actually a crucial statement of artistic collaboration borne out of the intimacyof friendship.

description: A new phenolic glycoside, 6-O-(4′-hydroxy-3′,5′-dimethoxybenzoyl)-d-glucopyranose (4), and nine known compounds (1–3 and 5–10) were isolated from Juglans mandshurica Maxim. Compound structures were elucidated by NMR, HR-ESI-MS and acid hydrolysis. Compounds 5 and 6 are reported from this genus for the first time. Among compounds 1–10, only 1 exhibited cytotoxicity against MGC-803, A549, K562, JAR, HeLa, CaSKi and SiHa cell lines (IC50: 2.0, 5.3, 2.3, 6.9, 4.0, 6.6 and 2.7 μM, respectively).
Epidemiology and sustainable control of Podosphaera aphanis (strawberry powdery mildew)
Creators: name: Dodgson, Jolyon Lome Alexander
Publisher: name: University of Hertfordshire
Year: 2007

description: Until recently strawberries grown in the United Kingdom were grown in open fields, the plants and fruit were exposed to the British weather. This resulted in a short 6 week harvest period where the fruit was often damaged by rain and infected by Botrytis cinerea. Strawberry growers started to use polythene tunnels to extend the cropping season, protect the fruit from rain damage and reduce the incidence of infection by B. cinerea. However the conditions produced by the polythene tunnels were ideal for the growth and development of Podosphaera aphanis (strawberry powdery mildew). Growers are now under pressure from the retailers to reduce the amount of fungicides that they use to control P. aphanis. The symptoms related to P. aphanis infection have been identified (leaf cupping, visible mycelium and red blotches) and a progression has been established: From the symptom progression two new s~ring methods for the identification of P. aphanis infections were developed wmch have greater relevance to current cultivation methods than the previous method. The source of initial inoculum for newly planted and established sites was identified. The inoculum was planted into new sites on the plants coming from the propagators and overwintering on plants within established sites. This was contrary to what the growers believed. They were basing their early season tunnel management on keeping the perceived air borne infection out of their tunnels. A rule based prediction system has been developed that has the potential to reduce the number of fungicide applications applied by the growers. The prediction system ensures that fungicide applications are not applied too close together. Potassium Bicarbonate has been shown to provide comparable control of P. aphanis to that achieved with Systhane (Myclobutanil). Significantly better control of P. aphanis was achieved using a new (at the time) product, Fortress (Quinoxyfen). There were significant differences in the resistance Ã‚Â°to infection by P. aphanis displayed by different cultivars of strawberry. Elsanta, the cultivar favoured by the retailers was not one of the most resistant. Control of inoculum . already present on plants as they are being planted could be achieved by dipping the plant in Systhane. Growers are under considerable pressure from the retailers to reduce the amount of fungicides used to control P. aphanis. Growers could achieve this by implementing the recommendations made in this report.

description: O objetivo deste artigo é compreender as maneiras como os fãs reconhecem os personagens públicos da mídia. Em um contexto de proliferação de figuras famosas, o fã se destaca no bojo de um processo mais amplo de reconhecimento, o que cria um tipo especial de relação. A proposta desenvolvida é teórica, orientada por duas indagações: primeiramente, trata-se de investigar a natureza do processo de reconhecimento. Em diálogo com Axel Honneth, o artigo busca ultrapassar uma definição que limita o reconhecimento à dimensão da luta de grupos marginalizados. Em um segundo momento, pretende-se interrogar a maneira como o fã se integra no processo mais amplo de reconhecimento dos personagens da mídia. Os fãs, ao transformarem determinados personagens em ídolos, criam uma comunidade estratégica para a consolidação do reconhecimento dos personagens públicos.

description: Autophagosome-lysosome fusion is a common critical step in various forms of macroautophagy/autophagy including mitophagy, the selective degradation of mitochondria. Regulations of this fusion process remain poorly defined. Here we have determined the role of SIGMAR1, a unique endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein. Knockout of Sigmar1 impaired mitochondrial clearance without altering the PINK1-PRKN/Parkin signaling, in mouse retinal explants and cultured cells treated with carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone (CCCP) for induction of mitophagy. SIGMAR1 depletion also caused accumulation of autophagosome markers LC3-II and SQSTM1, but did not change the levels of BECN1 and ATG7, proteins associated with autophagosome biogenesis. Lysosomal pH and protease activities were not negatively affected. However, sigmar1 knockout partially compromised autophagosome-lysosome fusion in CCCP-treated NSC34 cells, as revealed by reduced GFP fluorescence quenching of GFP-RFP-LC3-II puncta and co-localization of lysosomes with mitochondria. Furthermore, SIGMAR1 co-immunoprecipitated with ATG14, STX17, and VAMP8 (but not SNAP29), proteins key to autophagosome-lysosome membrane fusion. Re-expressing SIGMAR1 in the null background rescued clearance of mitochondria and autophagosomes. In summary, we started out finding that sigmar1 knockout impaired the clearance of mitochondria and autophagosomes, and then narrowed down the SIGMAR1 modulation to the autophagosome-lysosome fusion step. This study may shed new light on understanding autophagy-associated cyto-protection and disease mechanisms.

description: In her recent book The Warhol Economy, Elizabeth Currid proposes that ―cultural economies operate differently from other industries‖ such as ―finance, law and manufacturing‖ which tend towards a ―formal, rigid set of institutional arrangements. While an agglomeration of firms and labour pools can be an asset in any industry, in the case of artistic and other types of cultural production, spatial proximity and face-to-face social interaction become the ―decisive mechanism[s] by which cultural products and cultural producers are generated, evaluated and sent to the market."

description: This paper considers a little-known aspect of Gino Severini‟s oeuvre, his religious commissions, in light of his collaborative friendship with the French neo-Thomist philosopher Jacques Maritain. The collaboration between Severini and Maritain was a dynamic process of exchange, in which they shared both directly and indirectly their individual expertise as artist and philosopher to arrive at their creative objective of a modern sacred art. Gino Severini's futurist canvases inspired Maritain's understanding of the avant-garde, while Maritain's aesthetic treatise Art et Scholastique (1920) provided the means for Severini to reconcile the spheres of discipline and intuition, to realise the common ground between the spiritual and the artistic researches of the avant-garde, and to find an accord between art and morality. It was also thanks to his friendship with Maritain that Severini be-came one of the first protagonists within Europe to renew sacred art in light of the artistic languages of the avant-garde.

description: The seventies period in Australia is often referred to as the “anything goes” decade. It is a label that gives a sense of the profusion of anti-establishment modes that emerged in response to calls for social and political change that reverberated around the globe around that time. As a time of immense change in the Australian art scene, the seventies would influence the development of art into the contemporary era. The period‟s diversity, though, has presented difficulty for Australian art historiography. Despite the flowering of arts activity during the seventies era—and proba-bly also because of it—the period remains largely unaccounted for by the Australian canon.
