Coordinated Interpersonal Behaviour in Collective Dance Improvisation: The Aesthetics of Kinaesthetic Togetherness
2018
International audience; Collective dance improvisation (e.g., traditional and social dancing, contact improvisation) is a participatory, relational and embodied art form which eschews standard concepts in aesthetics. We present our ongoing research into the mechanisms underlying the lived experience of "togetherness" associated with such practices. Togetherness in collective dance improvisation is kinaesthetic (based on movement and its perception), and so can be simultaneously addressed from the perspective of the performers and the spectators, and be measured. We utilise these multiple levels of description: the first-person, phenomenological level of personal experiences, the third-perso…
Capturing and Indexing Rehearsals: The Design and Usage of a Digital Archive of Performing Arts
2015
International audience; Preserving the cultural heritage of the performing arts raises difficult and sensitive issues, as each performance is unique by nature and the juxtaposition between the performers and the audience cannot be easily recorded. In this paper, we report on an experimental research project to preserve another aspect of the performing arts—the history of their rehearsals. We have specifically designed non-intrusive video recording and on-site documentation techniques to make this process transparent to the creative crew, and have developed a complete workflow to publish the recorded video data and their corresponding meta-data online as Open Data using state-of-the-art audi…
Animales, teorías feministas posmodernas y prácticas artísticas.
2019
Este artículo pretende mostrar cómo algunas teorías feministas posmodernas como el ecofeminismo y el posthumanismo, de autoras como Françoise d'Eaubonne, Alicia Puleo, Donna Haraway o Rosi Baridotti han contribuido a la crítica contra las prácticas androcéntricas basadas en el dominio sistémico de devastación y explotación del otro/a/os, perpetuando la jerarquía y autoridad del hombre. Frente a ello estas autoras han propuesto un nuevo modelo de relación orgánica y de convivencia entre cultura y naturaleza, capaz de superar los modelos binarios, inspirado en el respeto a la diversidad de sexos y especies.Estos principios se hayan, así mismo, en las prácticas artísticas de algunas autoras c…

European Lifelong Guidance Policy Network representatives’ conceptions of the role of information and communication technologies related to national …
2015
This article reports findings from a phenomenographic investigation into European Lifelong Guidance Policy Network representatives’ conceptions of the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) related to national lifelong guidance policies. The role of ICT in relation to national lifelong guidance policies was conceived as (1) unexploited, (2) emerging, (3) acknowledged but fragmented, and (4) strategic. The hierarchical structure of the findings may serve as a tool to enable policy makers and other stakeholders to deepen their understanding of critical aspects that may have an important role in relation to further developments and the successful implementation of existing an…
Diseño gráfico para formar al profesorado de primaria
2021
Educar en diseño es probablemente la base para una predisposición social hacia la creatividad y la innovación. Presentamos los resultados de una investigación desarrollada en la práctica universitaria, formulada metodológicamente como estudio de caso. Incorporamos la práctica del diseño gráfico al currículum formativo de Maestro/a en Educación Primaria. Si queremos que la ciudadanía aprecie el diseño, conviene preparar al profesorado. Para lograr este acercamiento al diseño gráfico planteamos un taller en el que cada participante elabora su propio exlibris. Los resultados positivos nos animan a continuar con este tipo de iniciativas que aglutinan diseño, patrimonio, identidad e inclusión. E…
Monstrous Hybrids in Shakespeare’s King Lear
2017
ABSTRACT: This article seeks to present the different languages (emblems, Renaissance translations of classical myths, biblical exegesis) that inform the images of monsters which, as hybrid creatures blending human and animal characteristics, serve a dramatic function in Shakespeare’s King Lear . It means to question the ways in which the play links filial ingratitude with female monstrosity and Lear’s madness. Tracing the classical and medieval lineage of the monstrous bestiary (serpent, tiger, vulture) in King Lear and connecting it to emblematic readings of Shakespeare’s time, it explores how Shakespeare provides a dynamic characterisation of Goneril and Regan through their bestialisatio…
Reconstruction of the Rib Vaults of the Hypostyle Hall in the Maniace Castle of Siracusa After the 1693 Earthquake
2016
ABSTRACTBuilt in the first half of the 13th century on behalf of the Emperor Frederick II, the Maniace Castle of Siracusa focuses its enigma in the hypostyle hall (which was composed of 25 quadripartite rib vaults) and the design criteria adopted for its implementation. Recent research and a careful rereading of the documentary “restoration project” after the earthquake of 1693 have offered new tools to understand the construction techniques and building procedures for the entire organism. It has been possible to demonstrate that the different material (white limestone and volcanic stone) used for the vaults is, in fact, a product of reconstruction. The constructive node, which historiograp…
