Delving Into the Body Fears’. Teacher Training in Art Education Attending to the Work of Women Artists
2018
Planteamos el uso del arte contemporáneo en la formación de docentes. Consideramos de gran interés acercar los actuales dispositivos del arte a las futuras generaciones de maestros y maestras, ya que en el mundo del arte se están tratando temáticas sociales y culturales que van a resultar decisivas en la labor que deberán llevar a cabo quienes eduquen. Desde una perspectiva regeneradora y vitalista, proponemos una posibilidad de estrategias en la formación artística del colectivo docente. Integramos temáticas que habitualmente no se tratan en el ámbito escolar, pero que están vinculadas a las emociones, a las necesidades y a la vida cotidiana del alumnado. Conceptos como «el miedo» o «el cu…
Contemporary Art as a Learning Experience
2012
Abstract Art has changed a lot during the last fifty years. In spite of that, the role of art in schools has remained the same. The aim of this paper is to show the many different ways contemporary art offers itself as an environment for learning. An idea of contemporary art as a learning experience presented here is based on teacher's views on the matter. The analysis of the material shows that by concretizing the properties of artworks and the experience produced by them, arguments for seeing contemporary art both as a credible and a necessary environment of learning can be found.
“Art as a Way to Life”: Bereavement and the Healing Power of Arts and Writing
2003
Reading, writing, music, and fine arts are widely acknowledged to have therapeutic value to those bereaved. Narratives of coping with the help of arts are commonly told. Yet, the experiences of bereavement and the healing powers of arts and writing are rarely discussed and analyzed in social sciences. In this article, I search for a way to study the therapeutic power of arts and writing on a personal level. Using empathy as a metaphorical tool, I read an unpublished autobiography about a mother's grief and coping process through my own experiences of bereavement. I strive for emotional verisimilitude and apply a poetic form when citing the autobiography to highlight the evocative tone of t…
A la usanza morisca : el modelo cultural islámico y su recepción en la corte real de Castilla
2019
La construcción de la imagen del poder regio en la Corona de Castilla no fue ajena a la influencia de la cultura islámica, articulada por la historiografía en torno al fenómeno conocido como mudejarismo. El presente artículo buscará realizar una aproximación a dicha problemática desde el punto de vista del estudio de los modelos culturales y de los procesos de recepción cultural en la corte real de Castilla. Dichos aspectos se estudiarán a través de la recepción de un conjunto de manifestaciones propias de la cultura islámica y andalusí, como los textiles, los rituales de exhibición del soberano y la arquitectura palatina, así como la reorientación que dichas expresiones experimentarán, en …

2016
Resumen : En este articulo se estudia la situacion precaria en la que se encuentra la Educacion Artistica en los niveles no universitarios dentro el ambito espanol, realidad que contrasta con el auge que esta tomando nuestra especialidad en el conjunto de paises de Latinoamerica. La Ley Organica 8/2013, de 9 de diciembre, para la mejora de la calidad educativa (LOMCE) nos relega a la mera optatividaden educacion secundaria, teniendo en cuenta que en primaria nunca existio la figura del maestro especialista en artes visuales. Frente a ello, iniciativas recientes vienen a reivindicar la importancia la Educacion Artistica en la etapa de secundaria. Sirva como ejemplo el proyecto “Second Round:…
Le monastère Saint-Pierre d'Osor (île de Cres) : septième campagne d'études archéologiques
2013
The 2012 campaign of the archaeological research project permitted the exhaustive excavations of the immediate surroundings of the southern nave of the abbey church of St Peter in Osor. The richness and the complexity of the discovered structures confirmed the great archaeological potential of this sector. Namely, a funeral zone that is situated south to the church is occupied by two buildings perpendicular to the church which we interpret as a mausoleum (the one on the west) and a chapel with one privileged burial (the one on the east). The great number of built tombs or simples graves confirmed that this sector had funeral function even before the XIth century and the construction of the …
Esquisse d'un paysage monastique insulaire dans le nord de l'Adriatique : l'archipel du Kvarner (Croatie)
2013
The authors of the article set as their goal the examination of the complex question of early Monasticism (up to the 11th century) in the Kvarner region, reconsidering the old archaeological data, the unpublished ancient results and the results of new archaeological surveys gathered since 2010 through the specific research program. The first difficulty encountered is that of the actual identification of the archaeological remains as a monastic or hermitic site, given the lack of any written source for most of the sites. We examine here a certain number of religious sites, potentially monastic ones, considering their larger context of implantation, their patron, and/or their vicinity to a by…

Sublime and grotesque:exploring the liminal positioning of clowns between oppositional aesthetic categories
2019
The horror clown is a potential rooted in the liminalities that are an integral part of the clown figure per se. Drawing on anthropological work and the study of popular culture, this paper argues that clowns can be placed between different dualistic frames such as the sacred and the profane, the sublime and the grotesque, and fear and disgust. This positioning and the ways in which clowns operate between these categories are transmitted aesthetically. In this paper the dualistic aesthetics and violent potential of clowns is examined through three different clown examples: the ritual clown, the circus clown and the horror clown. Field observations made by Keisalo of the Chapayeka rituals cl…
The Moral Calculus of Vocational Passion in Digital Gaming
2019
The desire to “do what you love” energizes employment and engagement in creative industries such as digital gaming yet drains hobbyists and aspirants by normalizing expectations to sacrifice job security for passionate work. This article investigates how individuals regulate their aspirations through taken-for-granted trade-offs between vocational compromise and compensation. Multi-sited ethnographic fieldwork with players at fan conventions and recruitment events in North America suggests a moral calculus of corruption and sublimation between passion and profit, which can be traced back to industrialization’s cleavage of labor from recreation and its institution of hobbies as productive le…
