Доктрина и семейный закон: переосмысление правового регулирования семейных отношений или «усекновение» традиции?

The reason for the author’s reflections was one of the relevant publications devoted to the problems of expanding the scope of family unions — from classical matrimony to guest marriage, changing the ownership regime in them depending on belonging to a small or large family, equalising the obligations between parents in relation to their children, as well as between parents and their adult children (in parts of material support). Such an approach, especially in its concretising provisions, seems unacceptable to us. As the main antithesis, we have chosen the postulates about the sovereignty of family law, the peculiarities of family legal relations (between spouses, parents and children) and the actualisation of the task of family law to preserve traditional family values. At the same time, the possibility of subsidiary application of the norms of civil law to family relations is not denied, however, within the strict framework of compliance of their content with the essence of family unions, which excludes the use of methods of formal equality, compensationality and excessive rationalism to them.

Emotional Education Governance Based on School-Family Collaboration: Value Analysis, Exploration of Practice, and Future Prospects

Excessive rationalization in educational governance leads to a lack of emotion and a range of problems. Family and school are natural allies in emotional education, and collaboration between the two will realize the holistic life development of students, the school’s goal of comprehensive education, and the family’s valuable function of providing a nurturing education. Following the path of emotional development and the logic of collaboration, the governance of emotional education with school-family collaboration in mainland China has been explored in both institutionalized and non-institutionalized aspects, achieving certain results. In the future, emotional education governance with school-family collaboration should be based on the perspective of integrating emotions and collaboration to establish happiness as a goal of emotional education, to build a school-family relationship that is attentive to ethics, and to implement harmonious but different educational strategies to highlight Chinese cultural characteristics.

XIX-XX ғасырлардағы постклассикалық философия: жаңа пәндік мағыналарды іздеу

This article analyzes the main trends of postclassical philosophy of the 19th and 20th centuries and attempts to determine the originality of this philosophical discourse. The article offers a systematic view of this stage of philosophy and develops the idea that postclassical philosophy in no way denies the achievements of the classical period of philosophy. Postclassical philosophy, according to the authors, expands the subject horizon of classical philosophizing, rejecting excessive rationalism and logocentrism.

The Witch in the Closet: Disney's <i>Frozen</i> as Adaptation and Its Potential for Queer and Feminist Readings

Встреча Индии и Запада в социально-философских концепциях Бхактивиноды Тхакура и Ауробиндо Гхоша

n the new geopolitical realities, India is increasingly showing itself as one of the leaders not only of world politics, but also of the Fourth industrial revolution, successfully combining commitment to its cultural traditions with the desire to modernize the lives of all its citizens. The desire and ability to unite inconsistent have been characteristic features of the Indian mentality since antiquity. They were clearly manifested in the socio-philosophical concepts proposed by the ideo­logists of the Indian Renaissance in the late XIX – early XX century, Bhaktivin­oda Thakur and Aurobindo Ghosh. The analysis of their teachings, to which this article is devoted, draws attention to the presence in the philosophical thought of that time of two positions in relation to Western culture: the radical denial of Western values and their creative assimilation. Both thinkers were preoccupied with the problem of current state of society, which was not characteristic of clas­sical Vedanta. They both criticized the West for excessive rationalism, and they both considered spiritual progress as the only tool for establishing harmony in society. But Thakur saw a decline in public life, the reason for which he saw in the departure from the original principles of varṇāśrama-dharma, which has been normalizing people's lives since ancient times, and he called for their restoration. Ghosh, on the other hand, thought globally: he told on the sense of universal human history as the realization of the Divine Absolute-Brahman in earthly life. He criticized and rejected Western socio-philosophical concepts as untenable for the reason of their discrepancies with the main values for him, which were: uniqueness and importance of every human being, and the need for all people to unite for the achievement of their oneness with Brahman.

Richard Wagner’s Opera “Tannhäuser” in the Director’s Interpretation of Romeo Castellucci

The relevance of the study lies in the systematization of the expressive means of the director’s interpretation of R. Castellucci, who, using the semantic elements of Dionysianism and Appolonism, Pantheism and Christianity — the main pair of oppositions for the European cultural space, has compared not only the forms of expression, but also the concepts of art, Tannhäuser’s inability to make a choice and be successful. He sees positive elements in each of them, but without accepting them as a whole, always remains on the verge, being rejected by the system, unwilling to completely immerse himself in it. R. Castellucci interprets Tannhäuser’s image as a victim of the conventions of these systems. The novelty of the research lies in the analysis of R. Castellucci’s producing, which is not substantially studied in Ukrainian musicology, although it opens a completely new interpretation of Tannhäuser. The figurative content of the main opposing forces here is fundamentally different from their previous incarnation on the opera stages of the world. The main objective of the study was to penetrate into the general interpretive vision of the work — its maximum symbolization, the use of figurative and semantic elements and their combinations in the work, which constitute the semantic field of the production, having a wide variance of perception and not directly following the plot, avoiding narrative and at the same time not deviating from the author’s text. The theme of love in its sensual and spiritual, as well as art and its forms of expression — the opposition of these criteria by R. Wagner is significantly complicated through the interpretation of them by R. Castellucci in postmodern discourse, where a set of pre-meanings gains direct meaning. So Venus and Venusburg, for R. Wagner, are a symbol of sensuality, and the director exaggerates the sensual to the meaning of “indecent”, where “hyper” becomes the primary characteristic, which is inherent in the elements of the production as a whole. The study was done by using semiotic principles of the director’s work and their semantic load determined the main methodological approaches of research in accordance with the works of J. Baudrillard, which were based on the algorithm for the structural analysis of an opera work developed by M. R. Cherkashina-Gubarenko. Elizabeth is the opposition to this discourse, and the Wartburg society is the personification of excessive rationalization, which makes it mechanized and devoid of humanity, impervious to other points of view, that is, totalitarian. In the end, Tannhäuser and Elizabeth are freed from the irreconcilable tension between discourses, the end of which becomes a deeply symbolic non-existence and stratification of space, time, performer and character. In any case, Tannhäuser does not really renounce his beliefs; the blossom of the bishop’s staff as a sign of divine grace refers not so much to Tannhäuser as to labeling his views as permissible in a variety of opinions, but alien to the clerical spirit and its institutions. As a result we can argue that the director departs from traditional interpretations of the plot and value judgments of a certain world, leaving unanswered the question of the normativity of one of them as opposed to the other, makes filling with symbolic images, while blurring clear lines and avoiding direct definition through illustrative direction. In general, everything hyper-, over-, “too” and “exaggerated” is characteristic of the director’s interpretations of R. Castellucci. His postmodern vision of the theater and some kinship with the “theater of cruelty” A. Artaud, allows, according to R. Castellucci, to experience these emotions outside of real life, to sublimate them through art — which was the focus of ancient tragedy. The study has significance from the point of view of an artistic and scientific description of the modern stage director’s theater, the principles of the artist’s work with material and its adaptation to modernity without violating the author’s intention. It can be used as a material in the studying of directors of musical theater and in introductory courses on modern trends in operatic art.

Groundlessness of L. Shestov as the Way of Going Beyond the Mind

The article is devoted to identifying the specifics of Russian philosophy through the analysis of F. M. Dostoevsky and L.N. Shestov’s texts. The stylistic features of the two philosophers have been considered, their ways of philosophizing and denying of the cult of reason have been examined. The analysis is carried out using additional literature of French existentialism (were used such philosophers who wrote in similar styles as philosophical essays). To date, there are many researches in which study features of Russian philosophy. It is noted, that one of them are imagery, inseparable connection between philosophy and faith and criticism of rationalism. The excessive cult of reason leads to such problems in the history as the creation of the hydrogen bomb, the environmental crisis and so on. The revolt against reason and the state of groundlessness are a response to the processes of modern rationalization and technocratization, an attempt to go beyond the limits of the usual paradigm, to get out of the closed subjectivity. Thus, it’s necessary to define the limits of the reason and develop a new way of philosophizing, for this reason it is proposed to consider the concept of groundlessness in the philosophy of L.N. Shestov, which makes the attempt to construct a philosophy, avoiding strict logic and excessive rationality.

Influence of Western European Discourses on the Establishment of the Kyiv Philosophical School

The article analyzes the Western European influences on the formation of the domestic philosophical school. It is noted that the Kyiv philosophical school was founded by P. Kopnin in the middle of the 20th century. Within its framework, the theory of logic of academic research, positivist tradition, social philosophy, philosophical anthropology were developed. It is indicated that the latter investigates the fundamental ontological problems of human existence, analyzes the conditions and forms of human socialization, patterns of formation and functioning of the human individual, their sociopsychological essence, moral and ethical definitions. The article also highlights peculiarities of M. Scheler’s influence on the formation of philosophical anthropology. It is indicated that excessive rationalization, scientific and technological progress, development of positivism and materialism, loss of spiritual and axiological principles cause the loss of the meaning of life, individual existential depth and undermine personal uniqueness, making people consumers, a crowd. The influence of Descartes’ views on the formation of the Ukrainian philosophical thought is studied. It is noted that he developed the theory of knowledge and anthropology, in particular, researched the features of human self-assertion in the world. In this context, the ideas of Pascal are also analyzed, who, like Descartes, also drew attention to the imperfection of human beings, especially emphasizing the ontologically rooted tragedy of their existence. He noted that the mind is both a great advantage and disadvantage, because man is the only being who is aware of his own mortality. It is pointed out that it was Pascal’s ideas that greatly influenced the formation of the Ukrainian cordocentric tradition.

The Solution to Safety Crisis in Railways after Privatisation

Privatisation of infrastructure is expected to improve the effectiveness of operation, whereas it is possible to cause excessive rationalization. Especially in the field of railways, excessive rationalization causes fewer investments in the maintenance of assets and undermines safety. Railways play a critical role to develop the economy in a sustainable way and have a significant impact in the region, but their safety must be prioritised. In fact, the UK government privatised British Rail and founded Railtrack, which was specialised in the railway track maintenance, but the Hatfield accident raised awareness for safety and led to the renationalising Railtrack into Network Rail. Likewise, in Japan, National Railways was privatised and divided into separate companies (JR), but among them JR Hokkaido has been causing a large number of accidents and troubles. Based on the review of the process and outcomes of the privatisation of railways in the UK and Japan, this paper discusses the way to improve their safety sustainably. In conclusion, it validates the intervention of governments in railway companies suffering from poor financial health.&#x0D; Keywords: Privatisation, Railways, Safety, British Rail, Railtrack, Network Rail, Governmental intervention

ТУРГЕНЕВСКИЙ РУДИН КАК ФИЛОСОФСТВУЮЩИЙ ГЕРОЙ

In I. Turgenev’s novel «Rudin» a defining characteristic of the author’s literary work is revealed: appealing to definite philosophical systems presented in his literary works implicitly – on the level of the author’s intent, and which become open only in particular cases. It becomes possible preeminently in an utterance of a character whose reasoning on metaphysical issues is the result of special education, a characteristic of the mind and a mode of expression. It is in this aspect the article focuses on the protagonist of I. Turgenev’s first novel Dmitry Rudin. The main objectives of the paper are defining the role of philosophical knowledge in Rudin’s personality formation and inner connections of the author’s philosophical intent and «direct» philosophical position of the character. To carry out these objectives it was necessary to consider the ideas and methodology of M. Bakhtin’s philosophical esthetics in the context of historical and literary research. The article discusses Hegel’s philosophy influence on Rudin’s worldview and his type of behavior. Turgenev’s appeal to a famous German philosopher’s school of thought is connected with the role of this school of thought in his own life. A course of lectures attended by the writer at Berlin University contributed to serious studies of Hegel’s philosophy and interest to his scientific method. However, by the time of writing the novel Turgenev’s attitude to the philosophical idol of his youth is generally critical. That determined the ambiguity of the author’s position in characterization of the protagonist’s worldview, formed preeminently by the speculative philosophy spectrum of ideas. Key concepts of Rudin’s linguistic persona are «truth» and «ideal», expressing inner, spiritual search of this character. Turgenev sees inner limitation of his character rather in the fact that the atmosphere of pure thought where his is, brings Rudin to excessive rationalism of emotional life and undervaluation of feelings of those people who trust him and love him. Admitting the important meaning of the intellectual component of Rudin’s worldview, even in his first novel Turgenev tries to understand that irrational power of feelings that will break into his characters’ fates more and more with each new novel.

From Sentimentalism to the 'Great Reforms': Alexander Herzen and Emotional Regimes of the Russian Empire

The article examines views of A.I. Herzen on emotions and their role in politics. Herzen’s position on the issue of emotions traced back to the early socialist and romantic influences and interpreted in terms of “sentimentalist emotional regime” (W. Reddy). Two discussions that involved Herzen are scrutinized. The first one was a debate of the 1840s around rationality and morals in family life where Herzen advocated middle position between unrestricted capricious emotionality and moralistic rationalism represented by Hegelian T. Rotscher. It is argued that this debate noticeably influenced Herzen’s later conceptions of politics and the public sphere that came to prominence during the reforms of Alexander II. The article shows that Herzen repeated some of his previous arguments against excessive rationalism and emotional restrictions attacking Russian Hegelian B.N. Chicherin. Herzen backed sincerity in the expression of one’s emotions both in private life and in politics, challenging prevalent notions of rationality. Chicherin, on the contrary, was a strong proponent of the neutral and rationalized political sphere since he thought emotions would lead to disturbances and revolutions Concluding remarks concern ambiguous heritage of Herzen’s views on emotions that seem to be closer to his opponents than may be immediately apparent.

ACADEMIC CRIME FOR HUMANITIES: SOME NOTES ON LOGICAL PERCEPTION OF ANTI-HADITH GROUP MOVEMENT

Purpose of this study: This article discusses the basic principles that must be possessed by Muslim scholars to understand knowledge and its sources. The term ‘academic crime’ generally refers to the conduct of a few university lecturers, who violate the ethics and good practices of the teaching profession through the misappropriation of powers or by making false claims. However, academic crimes can also be classified as frauds in publications. Indeed, the ability to reason is one of the things that a person possesses. Nevertheless, it is not absolute, because the Quran and hadith are on the topmost.&#x0D; Methodology: This study uses the qualitative method and finds excessive rationality by the Anti-Hadith Group (AHG), leading them into a crime, i.e., rejection of the hadith as one of the sources of Islamic law.&#x0D; Findings: The revelation is believed to be true even though it contains metaphysics (al-ghaibiyyat) that cannot be logically explained. Furthermore, in rejecting hadith, the AHG often uses the contradictions between the hadith and the current perspective of life in modern times.&#x0D; Novelty of study: It is a very serious phenomenon and needs to be dealt with appropriately. This is because arguing rationally as advocated by those who reject the hadith seems very strong and effective in giving the illusion of hadith flaws to the humanity, while it is not so in reality.

Pioneers in the Study of Crowds in Foreign Psychology: Scipio Sighele and Henry Fournial

Introduction. By the end of the 19th century the society had to adapt to new threats—namely, increasing the number and activity of the proletariat masses and spreading socialist and anarchist ideas. Many researchers concentrated their study on characteristics of crowds. Scipio Sighele and Henry Fournial have been pioneers in this field.&#x0D; Theoretical Basis. The paper describes two concepts which provided a starting point for studying crowds in foreign psychology. The main issues considered by Scipio Sighele and Henry Fournial were as follows: characteristics of the crowd as a social institution, its properties, activization factors, characteristics of leaders, personality changes within crowds, and the problem of criminal liability for mass crimes. The paper presents an innovative view of (a) the origin of excessive generalization of the crowd concept, (b) its uncritical acceptance in defining a number of social organizations, (c) and wrongful attributing characteristics of individual women to the crowd as the subject of mass action.&#x0D; Results. The revealed tendencies and a clearly distorted perception of crowds among representatives of the anthropological and criminalistic approach determined the critical attitude towards new science of temporary social groups.&#x0D; Discussion. A distinct trend towards isolated cognitive constructs and almost complete disregard for the study of the past contribute to a distorted understanding of the phenomenon of crowds in modern social psychology of spontaneous groups. The ideas of researchers of the past seem to be a necessary precondition for developing a holistic approach to this problem.&#x0D; Highlights&#x0D; &#x0D; Sighele and H. Fournial created the background for scientific understanding of the phenomenon of crowds until the mid 20th century; they considered the characteristics of the crowd as a social institution, its properties, activization factors, characteristics of leaders, personality changes within crowds, the problem of criminal responsibility for mass crimes.&#x0D; Methodological weaknesses in S. Sighele’s and H. Fournial’s studies included: (a) attributing negative traits of criminal crowds to other crowd types, (b) attributing a reduced intellectual potential to any meeting, and (c) attributing characteristics of women in the crowd to the crowd as the subject of mass action.&#x0D; The heritage of S. Sighele, H. Fournial, and other researchers of the initial period can help in overcoming excessive individualism and rationalism in modern crowd psychology.&#x0D; &#x0D;

«LE BAL» MOVIE AS AN ALTERNATIVE SCHOOLBOOK OF THE XX CENTURY HISTORY

The current educational system is in a state of constant transformation and the search for alternative ways of constructing the curriculum is quite timely. The discussed alternative is not supplied to other than the usual sense, but in a manner of speaking and the new content that grows out of the way: the history of man in his daily course of life with happy and sad emotions, gestures, movements, involvement in social events and detachment from them. Thereby overcome as excessive rationalism and excessive verbalism, and put extra dimensions of the entering the subject.The approach to understanding the problem is the implementation of systems providing treatment to everyday and existential dimensions of human existence and that with respect to the proposed history «Annals School» (M. Block, J. Le Goff). In philosophical-anthropological and cultural aspects the work of C. Horuzhy who outlines privatization of history as opposed to the politicization of privacy and philosophical and historical works of N.A. Berdyaev and M. Heidegger, for whom events in the life of a «little» man is the primary source of historical events, are important.The purpose of the article: by means of cultural and philosophical-anthropological reflection to consider an existential dimension of the history of the twentieth century, based on the E. Scola’s film «Le Bal». Personality depth occurs when accessing musical structure of the film. A special dimension of the film is music and sound history of the twentieth century: the popular musical rhythms involved since the 30s. But intonation history of the twentieth century revealed quite clearly and provides historical and cultural perception of a dimension that is not transferred in colloquial speech, but introduces specific condition volitional and rhythmic tension. The time is displayed by changing musical styles. The movie sound tracks are those that have become passing through the twentieth century connecting individual events in the interconnected stream. Another feature of the use of music are lyrically intimate motives full of additional content of time return, the memory of life that constantly parts away, but returns.So in the film implements a specific historic and philosophic setting: let us open the outdated joys, remind the history in the rhythm of music, dance again the events of our lives, back to life from the wandering around the general history.

Research on the reaction progress of thermodynamic combustion based on arc and jet plasma energies using experimental and analytical methods

Plasma energies are a promising technique to increase IC engine performance, expend lean burn flame area, reduce exhaust gas, and enhance engine power. In particular, SI engines using combustion process can obtain the positive air, fuel and ignition sources, and international research organizations are intensively conducting research on new combustion in order to increase the performance for IC engines regarding solution methods that could ensure more stable combustion energies. These authors were conducted on arc and jet plasma energies in order to improve the reaction progress of thermodynamic combustion, where the unburned process in chemical state was changed from plasma signal, density, flame, temperature, and velocity, through experiment and analysis at rarefied mixture values of air and fuel excess ration (ϕ) from air and C3H8 after transmitting with discharge energies based on arc and jet plasma sources. Experimental and analytical methods were transmitted as high 1.2 J energy, where the strength of plasma volume was discharged between positive and negative electrodes to arc plasma, and jet plasma was monitored from reaction progress results as transmitting as 2.03 J energy higher than arc energy in order to have characteristics of directivity. Experimental and analytical conditions were set equally for combustion mixture ratio, which was changed at rarefaction from initial pressure of 4 bar, plasma duration 0.0015 s, plasma plug gap 1 mm, and mass fraction (ϕ) 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6. Reaction progress results were noticeable in that jet plasma was influenced more by fast advantages to expend the laminar flame with various waves in an unburned process than arc plasma of combustion response time from thermal diffusion with transient temperature change, plasma volume energy, and jet plasma had more advantages for rarefied combustion state from various energies as changed mass fraction rates (ϕ = 1.0, 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6) by initial jet. Consequentially, density result is noticeable in that jet plasma was quickly changed by a chemical equilibrium of density higher than arc plasma energy.

XIII—Self-Knowledge, Transparency, and Self-Authorship

This paper addresses the question of a subject's knowledge of his or her own mental states. My interest, in particular, is in an appeal to the concepts of mode and activity when explaining our ability to self-ascribe beliefs. Ultimately, I sketch an agency account of self-knowledge that avoids the excessive rationalism of positions such as Moran's and Boyle's. In short, it is a matter of placing the imperative to ‘know oneself'—which to us appears so characteristic of our civilization—back in the much broader interrogation that serves as its explicit or implicit context: What should one do with oneself? What work should be carried out on the self? —– Michel Foucault, ‘Subjectivity and Truth’

Validation of a bio-energetic model for juvenile salmonids using growth data from a production-scale feeding study

The long-term goal of this project has been to develop a reliable and practical model that can be used to predict food consumption, growth, and waste by-product generation associated with hatchery reared juvenile salmonids. This process began with the earlier development and validation of a bioenergetic model using growth data from two independent laboratory-scale feeding studies. The efficacy of this model is extended here using data from a production-scale growth and feeding study. During the first phase of the current study (135 days), commercial feed was provided to four separate groups of coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch). One group received satiation rations, the next group was fed excess rations, another group was fed at about 75% satiation, and the final group was fed a maintenance ration of about 50% satiation. During the next phase of the study (116 days), the coho that were grown on the excess rations during the first phase were provided a maintenance ration, and the original maintenance ration coho were fed to apparent satiation. The growth and proximate composition of the coho were measured approximately every two weeks during the entire study. Bioenergetic model calculations closely matched the measured growth data during both phases of the study following calibration for the maximum consumption and apparent respiration rate coefficients. The model performed equally well when the coho energy density was expressed either as a direct function of time or approximated with correlations with coho body weight. The strong performance of the model was first apparent when compared with independent laboratory-scale data. The proficiency of the model is demonstrated again here using production-scale growth data. These results support the contention that the bioenergetic model can be reliably used as a hatchery management tool to determine appropriate feeding levels, predict the growth of juvenile salmonids, and ultimately quantify the rate of waste by-product generation.

Max Weber on Confucianism versus Protestantism

Max Weber's thesis that rational capitalism arose only in the West seems to be undermined by Weber's own examination of China. However, he points out there are fundamental differences between China and the West; the former is traditional, personal, and world-affirming while the latter had become bureaucratic, law-abiding, and world-rejecting. The Chinese used reason as the means towards health, happiness, and long life, and they embraced magic in dealing with this world. The Puritans rejected this world and were condemned to isolation and inner loneliness because they could not answer the question whether they were members of the Elect. Rational acquisition began as a means to glorify God and as an indication of salvation; in time, this excessive rationalism gave rise to modern capitalism in the West. Superficially, China might be a problem to Weber's thesis, but as he demonstrated, there were too many important differences.

Thomism and the Renewal of Theology. Chenu, Charlier, and theirRessourcement

ABSTRACTLa nouvelle théologieis often associated with a certain disapprobation of Thomism. Yet in its “first phase,” the theological renewal of the Dominicans M.-D. Chenu (Le Saulchoir) and Louis Charlier (Leuven) was founded and justified upon a historical hermeneutics of Thomas' conception of theology. Against neo-Thomism's excessive rationalism, both Chenu and Charlier strove to recover Thomas's reciprocal immanence of faith and theology by reorienting theology towards the revealed Given. Their concrete elaborations of this fundamental aim, however, ran along different lines. For Charlier, actual theology should be positive theology, regulated by collective faith as expressed in the official teaching of the Magisterium. Chenu on the other hand upholds a theology—both positive and speculative—animated by the theologian's subjective perception of faith. These differences reveal that Chenu and Charlier belong to different theological schools with their own theological traditions: the speculative-theological tradition of Le Sauchoir (A. Gardeil) versus the positive-theological tradition of Leuven (R. Draguet).

CIAM, Team X e espaço urbano nos conjuntos habitacionais brasileiros: o Conjunto Terras Altas em Pelotas

The CIAM has been established as a forum for the discussion and dissemination of new ideas on urbanism since the end of the 1920s. Modernists believed that the city design would promote a more equal world and that the urban structure could be shaped rationally and functionally so as to reach social well-being. However, the schematism and excessive rationalization that conceived standard housing as having no relation to the identity of the dwellers caused a lot of critique by the younger generations within the CIAM itself. Team 10 sought to retrieve concepts of the traditional city and create a greater sense of community and identity, a construction of more immediate relationships between the family nucleus and the social group, between the residence and the collective spaces. This article is a reflection on the circulation of these “universal” ideas and their local applications focusing on a housing community in the city of Pelotas. That urbanization project shaped in the 1980s is a rich example for study because in it one can identify the presence of the different views of the city in the 20th century. The CIAM principles were present at the moment of its conception, but they were already “contaminated” by the critique of the functionalist city after World War II. This legacy, viz. the Team 10 legacy, has enabled the transformation of the housing community into a “neighborhood” full of intense urban animation, and this can be noticed in the “spontaneous city” that began to be built soon after the urbanization process started.Key words: CIAM, Team 10, housing community in Pelotas, Terras Altas Community.
