São Paulo Art Critics Association
The São Paulo Art Critics Association or APCA (Associação Paulista dos Críticos de Arte) is an organization established in 1956 in São Paulo that honors the best in the Brazilian fields of stage acting (since 1956), music, literature, film, television, plastic arts (since 1972/1973), and radio (since 1980). History In 1951, eight theater critics created the Associação Paulista de Críticos Teatrais (APCT), which would become the São Paulo section of the Associação Brasileira de Críticos Teatrais (ABCT). In 1956, the APCT disassociated itself from the ABCT, becoming an autonomous entity and creating an award destined to the theater. In 1959, the APCT also began to count with the classical music critics, who, in the same year, also had an award organized by the institution. In 1972, a restructuring of the APCT led to the inclusion of critics from other artistic areas: visual arts, cinema, literature, popular music, and television. With this increase in its scope, the ins ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

People From Sorocaba
The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty. In contrast, a people is any plurality of persons considered as a whole. Used in politics and law, the term "a people" refers to the collective or community of an ethnic group or nation. Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
