Théorie de la régulation : la perspective oubliée du développement by Noureddine El Aoufi

“…The examination of the research program over thirty years stresses the idea of a western-centered orientation of the recent works and a progressive tendency to a restriction of the field of analysis to the variety of canonic fordism, especially that of Western countries.This self-reference system is more than territorial insofar as it deals with an approach that gives substance to capitalism by looking inside its system for the fundamental laws, whereas peripheries are only ad hoc and over-determined configurations.Second, the development perspective is brought out as a constituent generality of capitalism that declines in specific trajectories of the sub-fordism variety. …”

ELEMENTAL MUSIC-MAKING AS A HEALTH SAVING PHENOMENON IN THE SYSTEM OF GENERAL EDUCATION by N. V. Golubeva

“…The traditional musical education focused mainly on musicology leads to artificial intellectualization, and leaves no room for chil-dren's imagination, intuition, creativity, joyful feelings and activities.The author discusses the specificity of the music teaching concept, developed by Carl Orff and his followers, and based on the complex understanding of human nature, history, living conditions, and corresponding with genetic laws.
