Atkārtojums Semjuela Beketa dramaturģiskajā darbā “Luga”

2016

Semjuela Beketa dramatiskais darbs “Luga” ir gan netradicionāls, gan unikāls. Luga uzrakstīta 1963.gadā un atšķiras no citiem darbiem ar bezemocionāliem un neizteiksmīgiem personāžiem. Uz skatuves atrodas trīs personāži, kuri nespēj ne kustēties, ne runāt izteiksmīgi, ne paust emocijas, ne izmantot mīmiku. Lai izprastu šo lugu, jāizpēta tas, kas jau dots – mākslinieciskie izteiksmes līdzekļi. Atkārtojums ir viens no visvairāk izmantotajiem līdzekļiem un katrs personāžs to izmanto citādāk, lai panāktu noteiktu efektu uz klausītāju. Katrs atkārtojums var tikt grupēts atšķirīgās kategorijās un katram no tiem ir sava funkcija dramatiskajā darbā. Visbiežāk atkārtojums izmantots, lai pabeigtu dom…

Empowerment as an affective-discursive technology in contemporary capitalism: insights from a play

2019

Over recent years, an increasing body of research in social and cultural studies has investigated the contemporary processes of social change from the point of view of affective capitalism. In this article, we take under scrutiny one of its technologies, namely, empowerment, by which we mean a state characterised by feelings of strength, ability and power that enable agency. More specifically, we investigate the way empowerment is presented in a cultural product, a play that tells a story about personnel training in a factory, shown in a city theatre in Finland. By linking recent theorisation of affective capitalism with an investigation of the intertextual and interdiscursive relations of …

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…

Matei Visniec: aproximación a un universo dramático a través de sus animales

2014

Matei Visniec (1956) is an author from Romania, who uses both French and Romanian expression in his plays. The coordinates of his dramatic fictional universe bring together the absurd, the symbolic, the fantastic and the conflicts in the city of men, sometimes with accurate historical and current references. Animals, present onstage in many different ways, are very common in his plays. They constitute a strange wildlife between animal and human, between the real and the fantastic.Their presence in this theatrical universe fits into their symbolic aspect, which defies the imagination by means of what is enigmatic and incomprehensible; but it also falls into their committed side to the extent…

Acoustic characterization of the ancient theatre at Syracuse

2008

The ancient theatre at Syracuse, the largest open air theatre in Sicily, experienced many structural changes along its history. Today its very renowned drama festival attracts visitors from all the world that fill the entire cavea: customized seats accomodation and a prominent stage play an important role in the theatre acoustics. Because no data were available in literature on its acoustical perfomance a measurement session was carried out by our team in the framework of a wide research project on ancient theatres acoustics in the modern use. From data recorded "room criteria" parameters have been evaluated together with spectral analysis in order to gain a deeper information on the acoust…

Strategies for Active Learning to Improve Student Learning and Attitudes Towards Physics

2021

Over the last several years, active learning methods and strategies have received considerable attention from the educational community and are commonly presented in the related literature as a credible solution to the reported lack of efficacy of more “traditional” educative approaches. Research has shown that a possible factor is the strongly contextualized nature of active learning that focuses on the interdependence of situation and cognition. In this paper, we report the results of a Symposium with different contributions in the field of research on active learning. We start with a system analysis of the mental processes involved in learning physics which explains how active learning i…

An approximation to the diachronic analysis of mitigation and face in dialogues between mother and child in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries

2018

Este artículo aborda la evolución del uso de la atenuación en los diálogos madre-hijo y sus efectos en la imagen sociocultural en los siglos XIX y XX. Para ello, utilizando como corpus cuatro obras de teatro de este periodo, se analiza cualitativa y cuantitativamente el empleo de la atenuación como estrategia pragmática en los actos directivos realizados en la proyección de estas relaciones. Los resultados de este estudio apuntan a que se ha producido una evolución desde la jerarquía hacia una progresiva solidaridad. This paper aims to analyse the evolution of the use of mitigation in dialogues between mother and child and their effects on sociocultural face in the nineteenth and twentieth …
