Paisaje y nacionalismo en el primer franquismo
2016
Assuming the theoretical idea widely developed by Human Geography that landscapes are cultural constructions with the capacity to become symbolic elements within nationalist discourses, this article explores the context of early Francoism. The aim of these pages is to analyze landscape sensibility as well as the landscape idea developed by the francoist nationalist discourse by trying to draw out three inherent elements in it: first of all, following Oliver Zimmer’s work, the nationalization of nature, this is to say, the consideration that nature expresses the community’s myths, events or memories; secondly, the naturalisation of the nation, that projects upon landscapes the capacity to de…
El diagnóstico de la crisis de la cultura en España: del recorte público a la crisis sistémica
2016
Since its invention in the fifties, cultural policy has been subject of analysis and reflection by Social Sciences. However, Spain, due to Franco period, has a number of distinguishing features as compared to Western European democracies. With the restoration of democracy, Spain acquires the dominant paradigm of a democratic cultural policy based on freedom, pluralism and the right to culture. However, after decades of democratic governments, diagnosis of cultural policy in Spain shows signs of systemic crisis, added to the impact of the global financial crisis at the beginning of the XXI century. In this context, scholars, using the Delphi method along with secondary sources, identify a se…
The magic of patriarchal oppression in Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s From Hell
2017
ABSTRACTIn From Hell, Alan Moore establishes systemic patriarchal sexual violence against the backdrop of Victorian London. While rape and other acts of physical repression are easily linked to the notion of sexual violence, Moore’s treatment is concentrated on the society as a whole. His anti-hero, physician Sir William Gull, justifies the serial murders and dissection rituals as a necessary continuation of Victorian inequality and as a symbolic manifestation of patriarchy’s counterattack. Linking ancient religion and mythology to a thousand years of British history, the sexual violence in From Hell is cast in the frame of a successful victory of patriarchy over matriarchy. Alan Moore’s pa…
Prácticas culturales y espacios públicos como lugares de interacción social y política. Un análisis de activismo y de crítica festiva en Barcelona y …
2021
espanolEl desarrollo de las grandes ciudades se ha constituido como un fenomeno global, reduciendo las posibilidades de generar convivencia en el espacio social. La busqueda actual por conectar la escala micropolitica de estos espacios con sus habitantes reconfigura el sentido de pertenencia a la ciudad. Esta aspiracion, muchas veces, desemboca en formas activas de desobediencia social en el espacio publico o, por contraposicion, de acciones que perpetuan la reproduccion de practicas culturales conservadoras. Desde esta mirada el presente trabajo se propone analizar algunas practicas culturales que ubican la participacion en el espacio publico como protagonista. Por un lado, acciones artivi…

Musical training predicts cerebello-hippocampal coupling during music listening.
2018
Cerebello-hippocampal interactions occur during accurate spatiotemporal prediction of movements. In the context of music listening, differences in cerebello-hippocampal functional connectivity may result from differences in predictive listening accuracy. Using functional MRI, we studied differences in this network between 18 musicians and 18 nonmusicians while they listened to music. Musicians possess a predictive listening advantage over nonmusicians, facilitated by strengthened coupling between produced and heard sounds through lifelong musical experience. Thus, we hypothesized that musicians would exhibit greater functional connectivity than nonmusicians as a marker of accurate online pr…
Tactics of invisibility : How people in vulnerable positions make datafied everyday life livable
2022
Various data platforms force the individual into constant presence and visibility. However, the ways in which datafied environments relate to experienced vulnerabilities in our everyday lives remain unclear. Through diaries produced by and interviews with participants from three groups who occupy presumably vulnerable positions and who currently live in Finland, we explore the ways in which people challenge expectations and prior assumptions related to forced visibility. Using the concept of tactics developed by de Certeau, we aim to understand how individuals make everyday surveillance culture livable through what we call tactics of invisibility. Based on our analysis, we identify three k…
Tur e Iraj, Caín y Abel: Semejanzas iconográficas en la interminable lucha del mal y el bien.
2015
ABSTRACT: The duality between good and evil is a common topic in all civilizations regardless of chronology or geographical location. It is a conflict reflected in art history, and on the present occasion, through the iconographic types of Cain killing Abel as well as Tur murdering Iraj. The roots of these myths are deeply embedded in two highly relevant written sources, the Bible and the Shahnameh or The Book of Kings . The latter was written by the great Iranian poet Ferdowsi. The legends, despite having different origins, nevertheless have many similarities and they share a particular iconographic type. I analyze each of the myths along with their pictorial representations, which connec…
Combining gestures and vocalizations to imitate sounds
2015
International audience; Communicating about sounds is a difficult task without a technical language, and naïve speakers often rely on different kinds of non-linguistic vocalizations and body gestures (Lemaitre et al. 2014). Previous work has independently studied how effectively people describe sounds with gestures or vocalizations (Caramiaux, 2014, Lemaitre and Rocchesso, 2014). However, speech communication studies suggest a more intimate link between the two processes (Kendon, 2004). Our study thus focused on the combination of manual gestures and non-speech vocalizations in the communication of sounds. We first collected a large database of vocal and gestural imitations of a variety of …
Comparing identification of vocal imitations and computational sketches of everyday sounds
2016
International audience; Sounds are notably difficult to describe. It is thus not surprising that human speakers often use many imitative vocalizations to communicate about sounds. In practice,vocal imitations of non-speech everyday sounds (e.g. the sound of a car passing by) arevery effective: listeners identify sounds better with vocal imitations than with verbal descriptions, despite the fact that vocal imitations are often inaccurate, constrained by the human vocal apparatus. The present study investigated the semantic representations evoked by vocal imitations by experimentally quantifying how well listeners could match sounds to category labels. Itcompared two different types of sounds…
