HSSE Online Is Published by the HSSE Academic Group, National Institute of Education (NIE), Singapore HSSE Online is published by the HSSE Academic Group, National Institute of Education (NIE), Singapore. The overarching purpose of the journal is to energize, inform and improve teaching practice in Humanities and Social Studies education in Singapore and to provide a venue to share ideas, research and resources that will be useful to teachers and scholars. We seek to develop and deepen knowledge and understanding of powerful and innovative research and practice in Humanities and Social Studies education. We hope you will make use of these ideas and resources as well as contribute your own. Copyright © Humanities & Social Studies Education (HSSE) Academic Group 2012 A Note from the Editors It has almost become a cliché to claim that the humanities subjects are integral to education for young people. While many people pay lip service to the importance of subjects such as history, geography, and social studies, in practice, this is not been consistently reflected in the actions and choices of educators, policy makers, parents, and students in Singapore and elsewhere. Thus it is timely that this issue includes an article written by Mark Baildon reminding us of how the humanities subjects are essential for the well-being of both the individual and society. Anecdotal and empirical evidence suggest that teachers frequently deem these subjects to be too challenging for weaker students. As teacher educators, we have heard too many teachers proclaim that this content or these skills are too difficult for their students and make claims that their students will, for example, not be able or willing to engage in thought-provoking inquiry activities or tasks. These deficit views seem to shape the pedagogical choices of these teachers and as a result, students may be presented with a severely limited and simplified version of the curriculum. Linda McNeil calls this kind of teaching, "defensive teaching," and this, she argues, has negative implications for the kind of education these students (who are frequently less privileged) have access to. We argue that it is important for all teachers to be advocates for a powerful and equitable humanities education program in schools. Teachers need to be conscious of the intent of the curriculum, be convinced of its worth in promoting the well-being of the individual and society, and to take active steps to challenge deficit views or negative stereotypes of their students.

  • Fraterna Et La Ramification Des Familles Du Patriciat Vénitien, Xve-Xviiie Siècles
    La fraterna et la ramification des familles du patriciat vénitien, XVe-XVIIIe siècles Dorit RAINES Le double sens de la fraterna vénitienne Le monde vénitien a pu formuler seulement au cours du XVIIIe siècle une nette définition du terme fraterna. Le juriste Marco Ferro définit la fraterna dans son Dictionnaire du droit commun de la Vénétie comme « une compagnie de frères, qui après la mort du père commun1, ne divisent pas les biens. Cette compagnie continue aussi avec les neveux, petits-fils, toujours mâles, jusqu’à la décision de diviser les biens »2. Mais Ferro nous ne fournit pas de détails concernant l’histoire de la fraterna, son développement et son rôle à l’intérieur du groupe dirigeant vénitien – le patriciat. Par contre, l’historien Frederic Lane situe la propagation de ce type de rapport, qu’il ne considère qu’en termes strictement commerciaux, au XVe siècle, et davantage encore au XVIe siècle, car, explique-t-il, au Moyen Age, le type d’entreprise commerciale pratiqué à Venise avait besoin d’énormes investissements, et donc de plus d’une famille. A partir du XVe siècle, continue Lane, le type d’investissement dans le commerce change, et apparaissent les sociétés de famille, et, avec elles, les premiers livres comptables (comme celui de la famille Soranzo, rédigé entre 1406 et 1436 par quatre frères travaillant dans l’importation du coton)3. Lane relève aussi quelques cas où on trouve, au moins dans la première moitié du XVe siècle, des fraterne entre frères qui ne cohabitent pas4. Des études plus récentes ont établi que le phénomène de la fraterna, fondée dans le 1 En effet, tant que le père était en vie, il exerçait la patria potestas.

  • “Safe from Destruction by Fire” Isabella Stewart Gardner’S Venetian Manuscripts
    “Safe from Destruction by Fire” Isabella Stewart Gardner’s Venetian Manuscripts Anne- Marie Eze Houghton Library, Harvard University ver a decade ago the exhibition Gondola Days: Isabella Stewart Gardner and the Palazzo Barbaro Circle explored the rich Pan- OEuropean and American expatriate culture that fl ourished in Venice at the end of the nineteenth century and inspired Isabella Stewart Gardner (1840–1924) to create a museum in Boston as a temple to Venetian art and architecture (fi g. 1). On this occasion, attention was drawn for the fi rst time to the museum’s holdings of Venetian manuscripts, and it was observed that in her day Gardner had been the only prominent American collector of manuscripts to focus on Venice.1 The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum’s collection of Venetian manuscripts comprises more than thirty items, spanning the fi eenth to eighteenth centuries. The collections can be divided into four broad categories: offi cial documents issued by the Doges; histories of the Most Serene Republic of Venice—called the “Sereni- ssima”—its government, and its patriciate; diplomas; and a statute book of 1 Helena Szépe, “Isabella Stewart Gardner’s Venetian Manuscripts,” in Gondola Days: Isa- bella Stewart Gardner and the Palazzo Barbaro Circle, ed.

Veronese Room, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston. a lay con aternity.2 Most of the manuscripts contain complete and dated texts, are illuminated, and survive in their original bindings. The Gardner’s collection not only charts the evolution over three centuries of Venetian book production, but also provides a wealth of sources for the study of the history, portraiture, iconography, genealogy, and heraldry of the Republic of Venice.

The “social city”, created by this family of industrialists, provided that a large part of company land was not only destined for housing settlements and services for workers, but also for “social institutions”.
