STEPS TOWARDS AN ECOLOGY OF PERFORMANCE

STEPS TOWARDS AN ECOLOGY OF PERFORMANCE

Author(s): Franc Chamberlain,Carl Lavery,Ralph Yarrow / Language(s): English / Issue: 01/2012

Keywords: performance; ecology; bodies; practices; nature; affect; theory

Our aim in constructing our keynote events was to present a spectrum of approaches to the conjunction of performance and ecology, to give some account of what has been done in writing and in practice. We also wanted to demonstrate in our methodology some of the dynamics of the conjunction; to raise some questions both about the 'ecology' of a 'performance' in a group setting and to suggest some topics for further speculation. Since we adopted an interactive approach, picking up approaches and points for discussion from each other and moving, physically and metaphorically, around the space, we cannot completely reproduce the process and directionality of that event in writing. Instead, we offer a set of notes and topics, written individually by each of us but woven together in what seems like a useful sequence, but which is not, either in its sequence or in the exact words, a replica of what occurred in the session. We will cover much if not all of what we tried to raise there, and there may be occasional additions. We start to think about the complexity of what might constitute an ecology of the theatre. Although we do not ignore text, we focus principally on the nature of performance training and practice and the kinds of 'ecological' knowledge which can be identified here, the relationship between performance and site/location/environment, and the ways in which thinking about theatre and performance as an ecology problematises what goes on. We question the nature/culture binary which would keep the two separate, and we’ve tried to come up with different ways of addressing that. We also challenge the idea that human beings, and by extension theatre, are in some way separate from nature and the animal.

The “Letter of the Six“. On the Political (Sub)Culture of the Romanian Communist Elite

The “Letter of the Six“. On the Political (Sub)Culture of the Romanian Communist Elite

Author(s): Cristina Petrescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2005

Using the concept of political culture, this article highlights that enduring patterns of thought and action governed the attitudes and the behavior of the Romanian communist elite since its coming to power and until the very end. Identity forming experiences from early periods, prior to the takeover and up to the Hungarian Revolution, decisively shaped the minds of the RCP leadership in such a way as to transform this party into the most monolithic in the entire Soviet bloc. Consequently, a reformist wing did not emerge from within the party ranks, as it happened in the other communist countries. This would directly influence not only the way in which communism collapsed in Romania, but also the transition from communism in this country. It was the revolution of 1989 that opposed for the first time a group of old-timers with reformist views to a dictator who hated reforms. In order to illustrate this thesis, the present study discusses the so-called "letter of the six" addressed to Nicolae Ceauºescu by six former members of the nomenklatura in March 1989. The article analyzes the conditions in which the protest emerged, the reaction of the regime when confronted with an unprecedented gesture, its impact on the Romanian population as well as abroad and, finally, its legacies in the post-communist period. The criticism of the supreme leader expressed in this letter did not provoke the revolution. It represented, however, the first reform communist manifesto in this country, and it expressed views that, through the post-1989 Romanian political elite, would become influential in the early days of post-communism, delaying the genuine democratic transition.

KAIROS OR OCCASION AS PARADIGM IN THE VISUAL MEDIUM: NACHLEBEN, ICONOGRAPHY, HERMENEUTICS

KAIROS OR OCCASION AS PARADIGM IN THE VISUAL MEDIUM: NACHLEBEN, ICONOGRAPHY, HERMENEUTICS

Author(s): Barbara Baert / Language(s): English / Issue: __/2016

Keywords: Kairos; occasion; epigramm; rhetorics; Lysippos; Callistratus; Otranto; Erwin Panofsky; Aby Warburg; Macchiavelli

A complex concept that even Cicero found difficult to translate, the Greek term kairos expresses an idea of ‘grasping the right moment’, which travelled through art, literature, and philosophy. This article explores the artistic reception of this complex notion in the visual arts by bringing insights from Nachleben and classical reception studies, iconology and anthropology together. The essay brings together the hitherto largely disconnected ‘textual’ and ‘visual’ research traditions about kairos in order to explore, more systematically than has been attempted before, the Nachleben of this motif in the visual realm with specific attention to the transformation processes it underwent (such as Latinization, re-gendering, etc.). As the figure of kairos has been interpreted variously throughout history, from antiquity to the modern era, this research line problematizes the widespread idea that iconographies are essentially stable and static.

The Canonization of the University Patron: The 617st Academic Year at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow

The Canonization of the University Patron: The 617st Academic Year at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow

Author(s): Jan D. Szczurek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 46/2014

Keywords: The Canonization of the University Patron; Scientific life; University of John Paul II;

Without a doubt, one of the most important events of the past academic year was the canonization of our founder, Pope Blessed John Paul II. It is especially worth noting that the decision about the canonization and its date was announced publicly precisely on the day of our university’s pilgrimage to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska. It was during a consistory on September 30th 2013 that Pope Francis announced that he would canonize two popes, John XXIII and John Paul II, on April 27th 2014, Divine Mercy Sunday.

The Byzantine-Poetic Path of the Works of St. Maximus the Greek (Mikhail Trivolis, *Arta, ca. 1470 – St. Maximus the Greek, †Moscow, 1556)

The Byzantine-Poetic Path of the Works of St. Maximus the Greek (Mikhail Trivolis, *Arta, ca. 1470 – St. Maximus the Greek, †Moscow, 1556)

Author(s): Neža Zajc / Language(s): English / Issue: 8/2018

Keywords: St. Maximus the Greek; the Holy Mount Athos; Manuscripts; Byzantine Hymnography; Orthodox Theology

Maximus the Greek has been frequently misunderstood because of his individual use of the Slavic language. Born as Mikhail Trivolis in the Greek town of Arta, he received his humanist education in North Italy, particularly in Florence and Venice, where he was engaged in the process of the first editions of printed books and where he would constantly deal with manuscript samples. His original, authorial work, as preserved in his manuscripts, reflects his awareness of firm Orthodox theology and at the same time a special attention to grammatical rules. The paper shows how his use of the (Slavic) language was at all times intentional and at the same time profoundly influenced by the metrical rules of liturgical emphasis. Through such attitude, Maximus the Greek managed to create his own, deeply personal language and to express the complexity of Byzantine patristic, hagiographic and iconographic issues. Finally, he successfully established his Orthodox theological system, significantly marked with the poetic effect that strongly inspired his theological works.

The microenvironment and the human space

The microenvironment and the human space

Author(s): Ana Bazac / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2019

Keywords: space; science; nature; environment; microenvironment; anthropocentrism; ecology; constructivism according to meanings and values; reductionism; ecosystem; biosphere; landscape; habitat; truth;

The paper uses the concept of microenvironment both literally and figuratively, as a targeted focus of the scientific research on delimited spaces. And the human space is the entire world of both cultural meanings and physical factors, landscapes and systems which constitute the “nest” of the human species. The point is that though there are microenvironments, the human space is more than the ensemble of all their types. Thus, the core of the paper structures around the manners in which both the scholars and the large public in different positions treat these two hypostases of space. The present situation of the treatment of space has its origin in both the different scientific traditions of the concept of space – transposed into “worldviews” (something more than philosophy) and the social relations with their constructions of practical and conceptual order. Accordingly, the paper highlights some aspects in the evolution of scientific boarding of space: especially the research of matter-energy-information as underpinning the representations of space, the objectivity and the constructed character of space, space as a receptacle or as a relation, and also continuity and discontinuity in/as space. The scientific approach of space has erased the speculative philosophy as source of knowledge about it, but this scientific approach took place after the development of philosophical speculative theories about space. The “science of space” has arrived to the demonstration of the inexistence of a unique space for all the living beings – and in some respects, for humans – and at the same time to the dialectics of objective measurements and treatment of the subjective spaces. The main concepts through which people envisage space are nowadays those related mainly to environment, to ecology. They are confronted with anthropocentrism, but first of all with the difference between the advances in the present science and, on the other hand, the inertia of practical treatment of space. Concerning science, the research of both microenvironments (of different sizes) and the ecology of Earth shows the necessity of coherent global policies in order to slow the various crises of the human space: it’s too late to stop them; but not because of objective natural logic of the processes related to space, but because of the socially induced postponement. The present crisis of the human space is so huge that one speaks about the end of the human species. The critique of this theory shows that the future is open, but at the same time that today more and more people search for and experience new ways of life. The necessity of these ways is deduced not from ideal social models but from scientific research. Therefore, the problems of space are under the sign of time, even more clear, of emergency.

The Moderated-Mediation Role of Work-Life Balance and Psychological Safety in the Effect of Remote Working on Job Insecurity

Uzaktan çalışmanın iş güvencesizliğine etkisinde iş-yaşam dengesi ve psikolojik güvenliğin düzenleyici-aracılık rolü

Author(s): Orkun Demirbag,Hale Cide Demir,Uğur Yozgat / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: Remote Working; New Normal; Work-Life Balance; Psychological Safety; Job Insecurity;

Remote work, which was seen as a fashionable word in the pre-Covid-19 periods, has been the main focus of their lives as a flexible working arrangement, which has been introduced as the "new normal" that millions of employees had to pass overnight since March 2020, and employees must adapt quickly. People who work in the uncertain and chaotic environment created by the epidemic are faced with increasing levels of job insecurity, which indicates not only the loss of one's job but also the loss of various job characteristics that they want to protect with remote working arrangements. In this direction, event systems, boundary and conservation of resource theories constitute the theoretical background of the study. This study, based on the relevant theories, examines the moderating role of work-life balance and the mediating role of psychological security in the effect of remote work effectiveness on job insecurity. As a result of the survey study, 444 white-collar employees from the service and manufacturing sector have shown that they have psychological security mediating role in the relationship between remote work efficiency and job insecurity, and that the work-life balance has a moderator role on the relationship between remote work effectiveness and psychological security. Finally, the psychological security mediation model has also yielded meaningful results; The relationship between remote work effectiveness and job insecurity, mediated by psychological security, was found to be significant in the condition of work-life balance.

Fear of missing out (FoMO) and internet use: A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis

Fear of missing out (FoMO) and internet use: A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis

Author(s): Mehdi Akbari,Mohammad Seydavi,Sara Palmieri,Giovanni Mansueto,Gabriele Caselli,Marcantonio M. Spada / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2021

Keywords: fear of missing out (FoMO); internet use; smartphone use; social media use

Background and aims. FoMO has been considered a predisposing factor toward excessive internet use, and a great deal of literature has investigated the link between FoMO and internet use. However, there is still a lack of cohesion in the literature. Methods. The current study have been conducted and reported in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Results. In the current systematic review and meta-analysis of 86 effect-sizes, representative of 55,134 participants (Mean age = 22.07, SD = 6.15, females = 58.37%), we found that the strength of the trait FoMO- internet use association significantly varies from r = 0.11 to r = 0.63. In some populations, FoMO appears to increase with age and it is reverse in other populations. Facebook use was unrelated to FoMO in some populations, and higher FoMO was linked with stopping Instagram use for some individuals. The FoMO- internet use association was independent of their severity, as the interaction was not significant, and this association was neither linear nor curvilinear. The FoMO-internet use association does not appear to be associated with depressive, anxiety, and stress symptoms or level of life satisfaction. The COVID-19 pandemic was the only significant moderator of the FoMO-internet use association, strengthening this relationship. Discussion and Conclusions. FoMO demonstrates a considerable role in internet use; however, there is no evidence of interaction or bi-directional association between the mentioned. Overall, we still don’t know what factors contribute to individuals exhibiting distinct patterns in the FoMO-internet use association.

Evoking esophageal speech after the completely removed of the larynx: case study

Evoking esophageal speech after the completely removed of the larynx: case study

Author(s): Magdalena Kokot / Language(s): English,Polish / Issue: 10/2021

Keywords: laryngectomy; esophageal speech; esophageal speech exercises; psycho-oncology; oncology

For many speech therapists, regardless of their work experience, undertaking therapy with a patient after complete removal of the larynx is a huge challenge that they often cannot cope with. This state of affairs is caused by the still small number of practical studies containing detailed guidelines for post-laryngectomy therapy. The article presents detailed recommendations on evoking esophageal voice along with an explanation of the causes of possible failures during the voice and speech rehabilitation process. Possible actions range from those that are possible a few days after laryngeal surgery to those for practicing the prosodic elements of speech.

Contemporary fashion and film

Suvremena moda i film

Author(s): Sunčana Tuksar / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 2/2022

Keywords: trends; fashion; film; cinematography; style;

Budi stylish, top, budi fancy i cool! Mediji nas na razne načine modno prilagođavaju i socijaliziraju ovim i sličnim izrazima ne bismo li se i sami poželjeli vidjeti i opisivati na isti način. U trenutku kada uključimo mobilne telefone, računala, bacimo pogled na društvene mreže ili na brzinu pregledamo internet, neizostavno ćemo čuti jednu te istu poruku o tome što bismo trebali učiniti da postignemo savršenu, modno osvještenu verziju sebe samih. Medijske poruke u našoj kulturi udomljavaju slike modnih imperativa kao životnog stila kojem treba težiti te nas odgajaju da uz termin »moda« neizostavno vežemo komercijalna shvaćanja. Riječ trendy u svakodnevnoj je uporabi, izgovaramo je olako i pri tome osjećamo da smo zbog toga in, da nismo zabačeni na marginu životnog stila. Jer, vjeruje se da pratiti modu ne znači ništa drugo nego biti u kontaktu s vremenom pa samim time i suvremenim središnjim pojavama u društvu. Moda može i treba biti zabavna, ali ne treba biti time definirana. Ona se prvenstveno bavi ukida njem negativnih stereotipa, kako onih o modnoj industriji kao površnoj i znanstveno beznačajnoj, tako i onih u kontekstu fizičkog, vizualno reprezentiranog tijela kao refleksiji društva.

Towards a Better Understanding of Emotions: The Impact of Philosophizing with Children on Their Emotion Comprehension – A Review of Developmental Studies

W stronę lepszego rozumienia emocji: Wpływ filozofowania z dziećmi na uczenie emocji – przegląd badań rozwojowych

Author(s): Jakub Janczura,Anna Karczmarczyk,Arkadiusz Gut,Robert Mirski / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 3/2022

Keywords: emotion comprehension; emotion understanding; Philosophy for Children; P4C; Lipman; dialog

The article discusses Philosophy for Children (P4C) in the context of understanding emotions. First, we present the origins of Philosophy for Children as a pedagogical method designed to support critical thinking, and its subsequent evolution into a research tool based on psychological interventions. We then show how P4C can be applied in research on children’s understanding of emotions. We argue that not only does P4C serve to build knowledge and improve cognitive abilities, but also promotes understanding of affective phenomena. We show that the benefits of philosophizing about emotions are being observed in increasingly younger children. We point out that P4C has only recently been used for supporting the development of emotion comprehension, and that research using P4C interventions with preschoolers is also a recent development. We believe both of these to result from a change over the recent decades in how the child’s mind is conceptualized in developmental psychology.

Conceptual Metaphors Describing the Psychotherapeutic Process in the Statements of Social Media Users

Metafory pojęciowe opisujące proces psychoterapeutyczny w wypowiedziach użytkowników mediów społecznościowych

Author(s): Natalia Ptak / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2022

Keywords: social media; psychotherapy; conceptual metaphors;

The topic of mental health and self-development is extremely inspiring and popular. Along with the changes in worldview, people began to openly raise topics related to mental problems andshare their experience, and more and more willingly use specialist help. One of its forms is psychotherapy. As part of the cultural, media and psychotherapeutic discourse, many terms helpful in understanding it have already been created, which are worth paying attention to. They all try to bring closer the essence of the psychotherapeutic process, which is a complex and difficult to define phenomenon.Metaphorical expressions, which by referring to direct human experience help to assimilate abstract concepts, seem to be particularly worthy of attention and thorough analysis. A valuable source of linguistic data are especially social media, which have become a space of intensive information exchange. This article presents an analysis of social media users' statements about the psychotherapeutic process using conceptual metaphor theory. As a result, 27 conceptual metaphors emerged. The collected metaphors, thanks to the richness of conceptualization which is containedin a simple linguistic message, based on the bodily and life experience of a person, show a broader dimension of understanding the complex phenomenon, which is psychotherapy. Thanks to this, they can be a treasury of knowledge and inspiration not only for researchers, but also for mental health specialists or people using psychotherapy.

THE INVESTIGATION OF MAJOR PREDICTORS OF WELL-BEING IN A SAMPLE OF ROMANIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THE POST-COVID-19 PERIOD

THE INVESTIGATION OF MAJOR PREDICTORS OF WELL-BEING IN A SAMPLE OF ROMANIAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN THE POST-COVID-19 PERIOD

Author(s): Éva Kállay / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2022

Keywords: stress; depressive symptoms; uncertainty; emotion regulation strategies; subjective and psychological well-being; post COVID-19;

The Coronavirus-induced pandemic has had a significant impact on the physical and psychological functioning of the entire world’s population. Research has indicated that besides the physical threat to health itself, the implications of constant uncertainty, separation from and/or loss of loved ones, loss of freedom to travel, shortage of food and financial resources, disruptions of usual life-routines, changing work and learning habits, further aggravate the effect of initial stressors, leading to increased levels of depressive symptoms, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, lowered levels of well-being, and confusion. Unfortunately, just as the two-years long pandemic ended, the Ukrainian war started, and the Romanian population, since our country borders Ukraine, has experienced a novel type of stress, that of the possibility of being attacked, affected economically. Almost simultaneously, the online education has returned to classical form of teaching, amidst semester, being another stress factor for students. Our results indicated that the two-year long pandemic was considered as having the greatest impact by almost two-thirds of the students. Furthermore, the lack of self-efficacy component of perceived stress was a constant and strong predictor of all components of well-being (subjective and psychological), and perceived helplessness for subjective well-being. Regarding emotion regulation strategies refocus on planning, positive reevaluation, self- and other blame, withdrawal and actively approaching the source of stress proved to be the most important predictors. The results of our investigation may be beneficial for the tailoring of future prevention and intervention programs that would target the enhancement of psychological adaptation of students.

Cognitive impairment, pain, distress, and impaired social functioning in pediatric cancer patients and psychological interventions regarding these areas: A systematic review

Pediatrik kanser hastalarında bilişsel bozukluk, ağrı, sıkıntı ve sosyal işlevsellikte bozulma ve bu alanlara yönelik psikolojik müdahaleler: Sistematik gözden geçirme

Author(s): Merve Aydin,Özden Yalçınkaya Alkar / Language(s): Turkish / Issue: 2/2022

Keywords: Cancer; pediatrics; cognitive impairment; pain; distress; social functioning;

Cancer is one of the most common childhood and adolescent diseases. Around 200,000 children and adolescents are diagnosed with cancer each year worldwide; also, frequently seen cancer types vary according to the different age groups. Nowadays, the survival rates of pediatric cancer patients are increasing gradually with developing treatment methods. However, problems such as pain, distress, cognitive impairment, and social functioning impairment due to diagnosis, hospitalization or treatment may affect the health and well-being of patients. Concordantly, this article aims to address cognitive impairment, pain, distress, and social functioning impairments due to cancer and treatment as the areas where pediatric cancer patients often have problems with a systematic review method. Therefore, 1265 articles were reached by using "cognitive impairment", "pain", "distress", "social function", "social isolation", "social skills", "childhood/pediatric cancer", and "intervention" as keywords in the articles published between 2003-2021 by PubMed, ScienceDirect, Sage Journals, and Cochrane Library databases. 50 articles out of 1265 articles were included in the review according to the criteria of “articles published in Turkish or English between 2003-2021", "participants are between 0-19 years old and diagnosed with cancer". These articles were reviewed and face-to-face, computer and internet-based contemporary psychological intervention studies for each problem area were explained. Sources about computer-based and internet-based interventions and using them in real life are important for providing psychological support for nonimune patients who cannot leave the hospital room or home. Finally, the discussion and conclusion parts offer suggestions that may shed light on future studies and highlight important results in the literature.

Some Notes on the Good Life in Biographical Experience and its Over-therapeutisation

Kilka uwag o dobrym życiu w biograficznym doświadczeniu i jego nadmiernej terapeutyzacji

Author(s): Katarzyna Waniek / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 1/2023

Keywords: good life; autobiographical narrative interview; paradoxes of therapeutic culture; neo-liberal discourse and individual experience

The analysis of autobiographical narrative interviews with people born after 1980 increasingly reveals their problematic entanglements in rapidly growing, competing and changing social worlds, an increasing proportion of which are embedded in social media. While often stripping of intimacy and urging to expose and nurture their own egos, they offer enticing avenues for personal development and some visions of the good life. The latter, as many young people believe, cannot be achieved without engaging in a therapeutic process that has been infected by neo-liberal discourse and promotes self-realisation, selfresponsibility and creativity. The fundamental difficulty for contemporary people is the inability to separate an actual ‘good life’ from its simulacra. This article is an attempt of applying the tools developed in the autobiographical narrative interview method in order to make such a distinction. It aims at demonstrating the paradoxes inherent in the process of therapy, which frequently ‘suspends’ the very possibility to work through the problems.

Specialized vocabulary across languages: The case of traditional Chinese medicine

Specialized vocabulary across languages: The case of traditional Chinese medicine

Author(s): Cailing Lu,Averil Coxhead / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2023

Keywords: corpus analysis; keyword analysis; specialized vocabulary; word lists; Traditional Chinese Medicine

This paper reports on the creation of specialized word lists in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is a discipline using vocabulary across languages (i.e., Chinese and English) and involves learners with different L1 backgrounds. First, a TCM Word List of 2,778 specialized words was established from corpora of TCM textbooks and journal articles. Selection criteria included specialized meaning, keyness in a corpus of general written English compared to the TCM Corpora, and frequency. The resulting TCM list covered 36.65% of the TCM Corpora but had low coverage over corpora of general written English and medical English. The TCM Word List was then divided into three sub-lists based on frequency, and graded into three levels. Level 1 contains high-frequency lexical items in English (e.g., organ, coating); Level 2 contains items that are mid-, low-frequency, or beyond any frequency levels (e.g., pericarpium, metabolism); and Level 3 contains Chinese loan words (e.g., qi, yang). Last, there is an overlap of 309 word families between this list and an earlier TCM list by Hsu (2018), which excludes words from the 1st-3rd 1,000 word families in English. Suggestions for teachers and future research are provided.
