Rails - Jul 2006 - save without after_save, after_create, after_update?

How to update attribute(s) and save a record instance without triggering 
the hooks: after_save, after_create, after_update?

I know it''s possible with Record.update() but this is dynamic. Only 
receive the instance, without knowing its class (thus cannot call the 
class method update()). Or is there a way of knowing the class and 
calling the class method?

Thank you.
