Dubái: estrategias para una posible transición urbana
2020
The article presents the work "Dubai Pop-Up. Architecture in a transient city", the result of an international design workshop (coordinated by T. Aglieri Rinella and R. Garcia Rubio) which brought the Dubai question to the center, bringing together a large number of teachers and students to think how to introduce new ways of thinking about the city. Thanks to the diversified and sometimes surprising hypotheses that the projects developed suggest, it is clear how open the degree of alternatives to that development model only oriented on the “monoculture of profit” that has guided urban choices in this city up to now can still be.
RAÍCES MITOLÓGICAS EN LA ICONOGRAFÍA DE LA BELLA DURMIENTE EL CASO DE LA BELLA DURMIENTE DE WALT DISNEY
2020
Sleeping Beauty is a story we can all tell. A cursed princess who pricks herself and falls into a deep sleep until her prince wakes her up. But, like all stories, she has evolved into this form. If we trace its origins, the first time it was put down on paper was in the 13th century. Later, in the 14th century, three more versions were added. In the 17th century Giambattista Basile popularized it, but in that same century Perrault adapted it to his own way and in the 19th century the Brothers Grimm simplified it. Through all these forms there remains an essence, a common narrative, some characteristic elements that allow us to identify this story as the same one. And in them we …

Desarrollo, territorio y capital social. Un análisis a partir de dinámicas relacionales en el desarrollo rural
2013
Si bien parece ampliamente aceptada la idea de que una de las principales fuentes de capital social son las redes sociales, llama mucho la atención la escasez de estudios que utilizan el Análisis de Redes Sociales (ARS) para profundizar en el análisis y medición del capital social. Esto es especialmente significativo si tenemos en cuenta la ingente cantidad de publicaciones que existen sobre este concepto. El propósito de este trabajo es llevar a cabo una aproximación al potencial del análisis de redes sociales (ARS) para analizar la presencia y formas de capital, en concreto, en el marco de las agrupaciones para el desarrollo rural (Grupos LEADER), y en su valor complementario a otras técn…
Representational flexibility in children's drawings: Effects of age and verbal instructions
1999
This study aims to investigate representational and syntactical flexibility in children's drawing behaviour, and the extent to which changes introduced at both representational and syntactical levels are related to age or can be induced by contextual manipulations. A Deletion task required three age groups of 5-, 7- and 9-year-old children to draw objects that had been rendered partially invisible, thanks to magic transformations. Two different verbal instructions about what was to remain visible in the objects, and two different objects, one regularly and one non-regularly drawn, were designed to investigate contextual sensitivity in children's representational and syntactical behaviour re…
How do novice teachers in Finland perceive their professional agency?
2015
This study investigated novice teachers’ perceptions of their professional agency during the initial years of their work in schools. The research questions were: (i) How do novice teachers perceive their professional agency within their work, and what do they see as the main restrictions and resources affecting that agency? (ii) How do novice teachers perceive their professional agency in the construction and renegotiation of their professional identities, and what do they see as the main restrictions and resources affecting their sense of agency? In theoretical terms, we adhere to a subject-centered sociocultural approach. This implies understanding subjects as active agents from a develop…

Enseñando música en inglés: un modelo de enseñanza basada en contenidos en educación secundaria obligatoria
2018
Over the past few years, there has been a growing interest in the teaching and learning of several languages in an attempt to generate multilingual education opportunities, particularly in Europe. In response to the demands of our globalized society, Content-Based Instruction (CBI), which has also been referred to as “immersion and Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) programs,” emerged as a teaching approach that combines the learning of curricular contents and the communicative competence in the target language. This study was carried out at a public high school set in a Spanish bilingual community, where music is taught through a CLIL approach in English class. The purpose of …
Case Studies of Digital and Media Art 56°56'51"N 24°6'23"E
2016
Contemporary media art has experienced very dynamic changes in the forms of its artistic expression, as well as in the perception of artworks by the audience and even art theoreticians. Questions about this new art form range from topics such as the unconventional nature of the elements constituting the artwork (program code, audience participation etc.), and the difficulties of displaying and preserving non-material art, to its proper place in the artistic landscape from the viewpoint of contemporary visual art. This paper aims to discuss the abovementioned questions through several case studies of various Latvian digital and contemporary media art areas.
