Símbolos en el atuendo de las mujeres mayas de la antigüedad. Una aproximación iconográfica a tres diseños singulares
2021
Este artículo forma parte de una investigación de mayor envergadura que tiene como objeto de estudio la representación femenina en el arte maya a través de los elementos que conforman sus retratos y definen sus identidades. Tanto las joyas, como la pintura corporal, los tocados o las prendas de vestir, establecían un diálogo con el espectador de su tiempo que si se analiza e interpreta en la actualidad, también puede aproximar al investigador al conocimiento sobre sus portadoras. Por ello, en esta ocasión presentamos concretamente el análisis de tres símbolos que forman parte de la indumentaria de algunas mujeres de la élite maya, entre los cuales cabe destacar el que luce la noble Señora …
‘‘This is my home, too’’: Migration, spectrality and hospitality inRoberta Torre’s Sud Side Stori (2000)
2011
The article explores Roberta Torre’s film Sud Side Stori (2000), an extravagant Italian re-vision of Romeo and Juliet set in the Sicilian city of Palermo which displays awareness of the global circulation of the story of the two ‘‘star-crossed lovers’’. In the film, which combines neo-realist cinematographic techniques with the artificial style of the musical, Shakespeare’s young lovers become Toni Giulietto, a lousy local rock singer, and Romea Wacoubo, a beautiful Nigerian prostitute who falls in love with him when she sees him standing on his balcony. Not unlike West Side Story, the inter-racial passion between Toni and Romea exacerbates pre-existing ethnic conflicts. It is opposed not o…
EDM and Ecstasy: the lived experiences of electronic dance music festival attendees
2017
Attendance at large-scale music festivals has captivated a global interest in these spectacular experiences, yet little is known about the lasting benefits and personal changes individuals incur following this event. This study aims to provide a comprehensive exploration of the lived experiences of individuals who attended a multi-day electronic dance music festival. The present study was primarily interested in the perceived beneficial changes within the individual, following their festival experience. We investigated if first-time festival attendees perceived changes differed to those of returning individuals. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were used to collect data from 12 indivi…
L'avaleur de rock
2004
International audience; "Il y a environ cinquante ans, dans un studio d'enregistrement à Memphis, naissait le rock'n'roll. Cette première matrice a engendré une multitude de styles et s'est étendue à la quasi-totalité de la planète. La plupart des musiques populaires en sont issues, y compris lorsqu'il s'agit comme dans le cas des mouvements hip-hop et techno, de contester sa domination. Le rock est une entité complexe. Plus que d'une musique, il s'agit en fait d'une galaxie de cultures populaires, relayées par des techniques, des objets, des attitudes, des façons d'être ensemble, et bien entendu des répertoires. Compositeur de théâtre musical et bassiste, François Ribac observe ces mondes …
Understanding the impact of digital on performing arts: a systematic literature review proposal
2023
Digital technologies have profoundly changed the cultural and creative industries. Due to the intrinsic characteristics of the performing arts sector, this digital transition has had a later impact on it. However, it has accelerated since the Covid-19 pandemic, forcing organizations to digitally transform themselves to keep in touch with their audience(s). Now that this crisis is over, many strategic and operational questions still remain unanswered. This research proposes a systematic literature review in order to establish the state of the art of the research on digitalization of the performing arts sector and to highlight the main research avenues to be explored.
Enterprising Culture : Discourses on Entrepreneurship in Nordic Cultural Policy
2017
ABSTRACTThe sphere of arts and culture has been going through a process of economic reevaluation during the last few decades. Parallel to the rise of a creative economy discourse, which both in its political and scientific forms has highlighted the economic significance of culture and arts, entrepreneurship has become a feature in the cultural policy of many countries. In this article, we compare how entrepreneurship is established and used as a concept in cultural policy discourses in two Nordic countries, Norway and Finland. Through analyzing policy plans and documents, we discuss what is seen as positive cultural or artistic activity in the framework of entrepreneurship, and we identify …

Homing blogs as ambivalent spaces for feminine agency
2017
This article discusses a form of lifestyle blogging where women blog about their homes and everyday lives. In these homing blogs, selfrepresentations are characteristically spatially demarcated within the private sphere of the home. As these repeated representations of women in their homes take place in the public space of the internet, homing blogs work towards naturalizing the home as a women’s sphere. Written and commented on mostly by other women, homing blogs represent a feminine form of self-expression and communication that functions as a discursive expression of ongoing social, economic, and cultural changes in affluent Western societies. In this article, Finnish versions of these h…

Female Nudity, Interspecies Sexuality and ‘Horseness’ in Laetitia Dosch's Hate (2018)
2022
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la obra Hate de Laetitia Dosch, estrenada en Lausana en 2018, a la luz de teorías recientes sobre la desnudez femenina, la sexualidad entre especies y la subjetividad animal no humana. Con una mujer completamente desnuda y un semental blanco, el espectáculo gira en torno a la posibilidad de comunicación entre especies y la necesidad de reevaluar el significado de la humanidad y la animalidad a través de la representación teatral. Comienzo recurriendo a los escritos de Derrida sobre el tema de la vergüenza y la desnudez como un medio para explorar la identificación entre especies. Luego me dirijo a las teorías ecofeministas recientes para discutir la …
