Символът като средство за реализация на интердисциплинарен подход в обучението по музика и български език и литература в начален образователен етап

Author(s): Penka Marcheva / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 6/2022

The possibilities of symbols as means of implementing an interdisciplinary approach in teaching music and literature in primary education is the topic examined in this publication. This is a topic that is developed relatively rarely in pedagogical literature. In the theoretical aspects of this publication, the main parameters of the interdisciplinary approach, applicable to the education of students in 1st – 4th grades, which can be realized through literary and musical symbolism, are examined. Arguments supporting statements regarding the essence of symbols and the possibility of them functioning as denotation for one of the criteria for the manifestation and functioning of linguistic and musical intelligence, included in H. Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, are brought forth. The focus is on the essence of the two types of symbols – literary and musical as means of forming and developing the respective types of intelligence. The publication also examines some practical and applied aspects, the main emphasis being fairy tales as a literary genre and program music, which are rich in symbolism. Specific approaches to pedagogical interaction are listed such as “building musical characterization of a literary symbol”, “making sense of a specific musical work with the help of literary symbols”, “using literary symbols to realize musical content”. In this way, it is proven that they are a real basis for the implementation of an interdisciplinary educational approach in the education of primary school students.

Въздействие на различни типове сетивност върху музикалното възприятие

Author(s): Dimitar Damyanov D. / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2022

Imagery and emotionality – the foundations of artistic musical perception, have been in the focus of various research studies for decades now – empirical and theoretical, musical and psychological, neurophysiological, analytical, pedagogical and methodological, music-therapeutic. Perception and, in direct connection with it, apperception, are involved in the formation of imagery, they saturate it with semantic emotional substance and enrich the musical and artistic worldview. Under certain conditions, through the receipt of a purposefully selected information flow in the form of sensory influences, the musical perception could be influenced, while at the same time developing the continuously functioning process of musical thinking.

Възгледи за музикалното време от ХХ век и приложни идеи за слухов анализ на метроритъма

Author(s): Angelina Petrova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2022

The main problematic of the metrorhythm, in its expanded interpretation of the twentieth century, provoke the creation of new forms of dictation and auditory analysis. Interpreting the relativity of the rhythm/meter ratio of the last century, this article considers the forms of practical work such as the development of specialized methods for the auditory analysis and dictation, including examples from works of the french composer Olivier Messiaen, Bulgarian irregular meter examples from works of the composers Lyubomir Pipkov and Stefan Dragostinov and as a special section of the auditory analysis – both serial and sonorous examples. The music of the second half of the twentieth century (serialism, some sonorous and/or aleatory examples) – is also one of the subjects of the studies in auditory analysis found inthe systems of Ulrich Kaiser and Violaine de Larminat.

Удвоени форми на периода. Творчески решения и теоретични проблеми. Опит за съвременно осмисляне

Author(s): Snezhina Vrangova / Language(s): Bulgarian Issue: 1/2022

The doubled forms of the period are considered through the prism of exposition, which they express and also in the perspective of the possibility within them to achieve a smooth transition from one to another formal function of the musical form. The many ways in which this can happen are considered historically, genre-wise and terminologically. The starting point of the discourse is the classical understanding of the period, as a basic expositional unit of musical form and functional unity of two subordinate parts, on the one hand, and the options for expanding the exposition space through repetition, varied repetition and repetition with harmonious development and syntactic dynamics, on the other. A panorama of the terminological approaches, applied to the semantic field of the doubled forms of the period, is proposed.

W drodze do domu. Kultury pamięci przymusowej migracji Niemców po 1945 roku w kinematografiach niemieckich

Author(s): Andrzej Gwóźdź / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2021

The article addresses the issues of film representation of forced displacement of Germans from the eastern territories of Reich after 1945 in the context of cultures of media remembrance in German cinemas (of Allied occupation zones, German Democratic Republic, Federal Republic of Germany, and reunited Germany). The author indicates subordination of artistic strategies in particular films to current discourses of remembrance and promoted state formation models. He identifies a group of films made just after the war, which secured traces of migration memory; he points to the mechanisms of memory of resettlements in the GDR cinema (decreed anti-fascism) and narratives of expulsion in West German cinema (nostalgia for the lost homeland, columns of exiles); eventually, he draws attention to the work of memory which underlies the practices of remembrance.

Author(s): Paulina Olechowska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 01/2022

Published between 1956 and 1957, the weekly supplement Life and Culture in the Głos Szczeciński, the news arm of the Polish United Workers’ Party (PZPR) Central Committee in Szczecin, is an important source of social and political conditions in the artistic life of Szczecin, a testimony to the activity of certain groups in the community (columnists and the artistic milieu) in the creation of regional cultural identity. The article aims to fill a research gap regarding the presence of art criticism in the periodical’s pages. The first part of the study introduces theater criticism in the pages of the periodical in two periods: socialist realism, when it was subject to the domination of cultural policy guidelines, and the first phase of the so-called spirit of renewal, which heralded the liberalization of culture.

Feministyczna narratologia filmowa. Sporo pytań i kilka odpowiedzi

Author(s): Barbara Szczekała / Language(s): Polish Issue: 119/2022

Artykuł stanowi wprowadzenie do feministycznej narratologii filmowej: zarysowuje jej cele i wyzwania, wymienia narzędzia, nakreśla wstępnie możliwości operacjonalizacji i mapuje użyteczność analityczną. Feministyczna narratologia filmowa rozumiana jest tutaj jako subdyscyplina narratologii badająca zarówno narracje tworzone przez kobiety, jak i narracje o kobietach. Podkreślony jest jej aspekt metakrytyczny i rewizjonistyczny jako refleksji służącej zdemaskowaniu złudnego (męskiego) uniwersalizmu w tradycyjnych i strukturalistycznych propozycjach teorii opowiadania. Narratologia feministyczna osadzona zostaje w kontekście innych narratologii, przede wszystkim korporalnej (Punday, Stańczyk), naturalnej (Fludernik), kognitywnej (Bordwell, Branigan), transmedialnej i postklasycznej (Herman). Jedną z głównych kategorii stosowanych w tekście jest pojęcie doświadczeniowości (Fludernik), zgodnie z którym narracja jest w stanie reprodukować rzeczywiste ludzkie doświadczenia.

Introduction: Translation and transformation in audiovisual and digital culture

Author(s): Evangelos Kourdis,Kristian Bankov / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The contributions to this volume of Digital Age in Semiotics and Communication deal with various translation phenomena such as intermediality, film adaptation, film colorization, remediation and various technospheric phenomena such as cinefication, audiovisual and digital mass culture, digital transformation, cyberspace, and digital image. The first group of articles shows that those phenomena are characteristics of a rich interesemiotic space. As Torop (2020: 269) states, “in intersemiotic space, the original text and all of its translations comprise a mental whole, which is all-encompassing for collective cultural memory and selective for every individual reader. In the context of culture, intersemiotic space is also a space of transmedial translation”. The new cultural texts (metatexts) resulting from intersemiosis is expected to carry additional connotations1, a characteristic of particular semiotic interest. The second group of articles reveals the advantages of the semiosphere of digital culture. As Bankov (2022: 26) highlights, “in digital culture, language is no longer the lord of semiotic phenomena; the latter is the communicative disposition of the culture holders. The language is there, together with an incredible variety of visual, audio, kinetic and other expressive forms”. A significant innovation is that other expressive forms could also be interactive.2 Τhis interaction seems to be the essential different characteristic in relation to the study of other cultural texts, an element that justifies the use of the term platfospehere in the context of the semiosphere.3

Art Therapy and Social Emotional Development in Students with Special Educational Needs: Effects on Anxiety, Empathy, and Prosocial Behaviour

Author(s): Mariana Lavric,Camelia Soponaru / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

Although our research started before the pandemic, it seems that focusing on the social emotional development of our students has become a top priority, considering that, globally, the rates of anxiety among children and teenagers are, in the actual context of the pandemic and war, skyrocketing. One valuable way to promoting positive social emotional development is to implement in schools research-based programs that support students in strengthening their social and emotional competencies. Art therapy is one of the most suitable ways to serve this purpose, for it goes beyond words and gives the students the opportunity to deeper experience and process their emotions. This research used a structured group art therapy program to reduce anxiety and improve empathy and prosocial behaviour in 20 special educational needs students with neuro-psycho-motor deficiencies, aged between 8 and 11 years, who were randomly and equally assigned either to an experimental or a control group. The intervention was performed once weekly for ten weeks. Anxiety, empathy and prosocial behaviour have been measured using specific questionnaires filled out by the students’ caregivers at the beginning and at the end of the program. After ten weeks, the art therapy group showed a significant decrease in anxiety and a significant increase in empathy and prosocial behaviour. These findings suggest that art therapy might be used in an educational context to lower anxiety and to support the positive development of social emotional competencies such as empathy and prosocial behaviour in special educational needs children with neuro-psycho-motor deficiencies.

Me, myself, and my avatar - a semiotic study into digital transformation via avatars

Author(s): Kyle Davidson / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

The Chinese musical idol show, Dimension Nova, (produced by entertainment company IQIYI) follows the same formula as other shows where a panel of judges choose from a pool of hopefuls to find the best singer. However, the contestants for Dimension Nova are virtual beings. The way these characters are presented, and the way the show is edited, intends for the creations to be the focus of the audience, not the creators behind them. Thus, augmented reality cameras render dances, conversations, performances, and rehearsals for broadcast with the models – or avatars – simulating a mixed reality environment. The audience fantasy is a collaboratively constructed reality – a feat made possible by virtue of the ubiquity of the digital avatar within the zeitgeist of society. The transformation of the avatar from a representation of the user to an individualised entity, interactive and reactive, as we progress from Web 2.0 era to the new Web 3.0 society of omnipresent computing is the focus of this article and is introduced by what I term the “hypervirtual” environment of the future.

De la excelența designului la excelența interpretării, Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù și Niccolò Paganini

Author(s): Alexandru Mihai / Language(s): English,Romanian Issue: 10/2022

In the history of the violin, from design and construction to performance, two names stand out both for the value of the level of craftsmanship and for the fact that they are closely related even though the fields of activity are different. Giuseppe Guarneri del Gesù (1698 – 1744), one of the most famous masters of Italian luthiery, and Niccolò Paganini (1782-1840), perhaps the most famous violinist of all time. Analising the results of the two, we discover a common denominator that each time fuels the reputation of the two even more. The "Il Cannone" violin is the result of a complete creative process aimed at both the manufacturer and the customer, but wich projects a final result that serves the listener and all of mankind, opening new paths not only in innovation and design of the instrument, but also in the techniques and possibilities of interpretation, actively contributing to the process of continuous development and creation in the two fields. The violin “as an object, was and continues to be an extension of the hand, an ally of man, a precious help in solving some of his many problems of living, in support of activity, in support of the efficiency developed towards the goal and with the possibility of to shorten their path to reach it.”

Modernismul Fotografic şi Formele Incipiente ale Fotografiei Construite

Author(s): Luca Mixich / Language(s): English,Romanian Issue: 10/2022

This article analyzes the forms that constructed photography developed in the context of photographic and artistic modernism of the first half of the 20th century. The contrast between the dominant approaches, at the aesthetic level in modernist photography, but also the positioning of the constructed photography in this context, will be emphasized. At the level of analysis, photographic creations belonging to artists such as Man Ray, Hans Bellmer, Claude Cahun, William Mortensen will be interpreted. All these photographers related in a certain way to the constructed photograph. Those defining but also particular aspects of them will be captured.

A semiotic analysis of representations of maids in Greek movies of the 1950s and 60s

Author(s): Thomas Bardakis / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

A variety of semiotic codes, for example, proxemics, kinesics, dress code, verbal code, usually construct specific representations in audiovisual culture. This paper explores the semiotic systems in synergy which seem to lead to consolidation of the social representations of maids in pop culture texts, such as Greek movies in the 1950s and 60s (the old Greek cinema era). The research questions explore the social representations which have been constructed and the ways in which the verbal and non-verbal signs of the maids can lead to the consolidation of their social image or even to a myth construction based on specific ideological perspectives. So, how do maids act in Greek movies in the 1950s and 60s? What does their performance signify? A semiotic analysis will examine all these questions through semiotic codes in those multimodal texts (Greek movies), selected from the field of the historically Greek pop culture texts. These verbal and non-verbal codes work coherently to translate the depiction of Greek society and culture and to convey connotative meanings.

Театральная версия романа Ольгерда Бахаревича Собаки Европы на сцене Белорусского свободного театра

Author(s): Alena Lepishava / Language(s): Belarusian Issue: 16/2022

The article focuses on the performance of the Belarusian Free Theatre based on the novel The Dogs of Europe by Аlhierd Bacharevich, which premiered in Minsk on 7.03.2019, and the next stage version was presented during the tour of the collective in London in March 2022. The production, arranged in the conditions of a politically motivated relocation of the troupe in Kiev, is considered in the article in the context of the latest stage practices with high performative-receptive potential, bringing them closer to the techniques of mass media, political protest actions. This determined the methodological basis of the research, which turned to the aesthetic aspects of the theory of communication, the phenomenon of ,,theatricalization” (the focus on visual action presentation) of all spheres of life, as well as to the immanent properties of drama, revealed taking into account the performative turn in modern drama and theatre, which have become adequate artistic statements about the complex relationships within the dyad ,,man – society”. In the course of the study, it was found that the reception of the novel by Аlhierd Bacharevich was carried out on the stage of the Belarusian Free Theatre in line with the ideological and aesthetic attitudes of the collective, which since its foundation in 2005 has been approving the concept of the ,,barricade theatre”, typologically close to a number of theatrical and dramaturgical projects dedicated to the ,,pain points” of modernity: the demarcation of the world continuum according to political and ideological principles, the threat of a global military conflict and their latest local refractions: the suppression of peaceful protests in Belarus in 2020, the invasion of Russian troops on the territory of Ukraine in 2022.

Edukacja przez sztuki wizualne w procesie przygotowania dziecka w okresie średniego i późnego dzieciństwa do stawania się kompetentnym wizualnie

Author(s): Hanna Krauze-Sikorska / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2021

In this article, I would like to make an attempt at a kind of return (probably incomplete and limited) to a unique, due to the potential of its content and forms, process of education of a child through visual arts (optical arts, visual arts) that allows the child to perceive, understand and create the surrounding iconosphere, gradually acquiring competences connected with “visual literacy”. The activities that foster such an activity of the child do not abandon the traditional assumptions of “education through art”, but complement them with new challenges and perspectives. The area of analysis, pointing to theoretical foundations and a review of literature, is reduced in the article to a discourse on the importance of visual literacy as one of the basic human competences and the possibility of using the potential of visual arts in the process of preparing children, already at the level of middle and late childhood, to become visually competent persons in the future.

Towards a new computational aesthetics of creative software

Author(s): Damien Charrieras / Language(s): English Issue: 1/2023

This paper1 proposes a deep analysis of the latest re-search of digital humanities scholar Beatrice Fazi, and especially her critique of computational automation, to understand the roles of digital creative technologies, and more specifically of creative software. After a close anal-ysis of Fazi’s main contribution to a new understanding of computational aesthetics, we will briefly outline the po-tential implications of her work to understand the con-temporary evolution of creative software, and especially the implementation of machine learning algorithms in these kinds of software. This will lead us to contextualise the contemporary anxieties regarding how machines could replace humans in the act of artistic creation.
