This volume explores the fraught relationship between Futurism and the Sacred. Like many fin-de-siècle intellectuals, the Futurists were fascinated by various forms of esotericism such as theosophy and spiritualism and saw art as a privileged means to access states of being beyond the surface of the mundane world. At the same time, they viewed with suspicion organized religions as social institutions hindering modernization and ironically used their symbols. In Italy, the theorization of "Futurist Sacred Art" in the 1930s began a new period of dialogue between Futurism and the Catholic Church. The essays in the volume span the history of Futurism from 1909 to 1944 and consider its different configurations across different disciplines and geographical locations, from Polish and Spanish literature to Italian art and American music.
The first part of the yearbook contains ten essays on Futurist art and literature in Italy, France, Russia, Poland, Portugal and the former colony of Goa. Among other things, early Futurist publishing and propaganda initiatives by means of manifestos, press releases, and newssheets are examined, as well as Athos Casarini's artistic and political work undertaken in Italy and the USA. Articles in the second part deal with the 30th anniversary of the international Academy of Zaum as well as various conferences, exhibitions and publications celebrating the centenary of Zenitism in Serbia and Croatia. Critical responses to exhibitions, conferences and publications as well as a bibliographical section with information on 139 recent book publications on Futurism conclude the yearbook.
O terceiro volume de Redenção e Escatologia contém a investigação realizada no âmbito de um projeto interdisciplinar sobre os temas da salvação do homem e da consumação do mundo na cultura portuguesa da contemporaneidade. A reflexão do terceiro tomo destaca o inconformismo dos nossos escritores com a ordem social e religiosa de uma época de antagonismo e conflito entre a fé e a ciência, a espiritualidade e a racionalidade, que inclui a denúncia dos males morais da Igreja e do poder político e inclui a justificação pelas opções do monoteísmo cristão, do politeísmo pagão, do ateísmo, do deísmo, do agnosticismo ou do panteísmo. Apresenta a importância da linguagem poética na experiência da espiritualidade, como meio adequado para dizer a relação do homem com Deus, que já não surge de modo objetivo e evidente, sob as formas dogmáticas de fideísmo ou sob as formas míticas e teosóficas de absoluta imanência, mas apenas se vislumbra na ausência mistérica de uma silenciosa presença.

Preface Today the world is marked by increasing complexity, where the boundaries between disciplines become increasingly interconnected. Therefore, the dialogue between different areas of knowledge is essential for the understanding and solution of the diverse challenges we face. This book, "Multidisciplinary Studies: Management and Legal Sciences", is born of this understanding, bringing a comprehensive and integrated perspective on important topics that permeate management and law. Management and the legal sciences, although traditionally seen as distinct fields, share a deep interdependence. Business and administrative decisions are inevitably shaped by regulatory and legal frameworks, as...
This book looks at the functioning and symbolic meanings of the royal preserves, parks, and forests in a transitional period in Portuguese political regimes: at the end of the Ancien Regime and in the aftermath of the first liberal revolution in Portugal (1821), from 1777 to 1824.The aim is to understand how life developed in royal preserves before and after the Liberal Revolution in Portugal. The majority of academic work produced before 1998 focused on hunting and royal preserves in England, Spain or France. If the classic Whigs and Hunters, by E. P. Thompson, proclaimed the prerogatives of aristocracy for the British aristocratic mastering of property rights, status and ethos, other contributions of the preserves regime, in the mastering of social order and in the attempt to balance or master powers, can be added, for other regions in Europe. In this case, the focus is on Portugal.
