“You saw nothing in Hiroshima. Nothing. / I saw everything. Everything” – this dialogue between the main protagonists of Alain Resnais’ film: Hiroshima Mon Amour and the book by Marguerite Duras perfectly discloses the paradox we tackle while attempting to present the unforeseeable. With the Resnais film as a point of departure the author deliberates about relations between inability and the compulsion to depict, the ways in which the cinema and photography face the tragedy of Hiroshima, as well as, predominantly, that, which images of destruction and, more generally speaking, ephemeral traces from the archive of destruction, “say” to us today, from an emotional and time distance. Does this mean that there is nothing to imagine because there is nothing – or almost nothing – to see? Certainly not – wrote Georges Didi-Huberman in Bark, an essay endeavouring to reflect on the ability (inability) to behold in Auschwitz. Are we capable today of taking yet another look at the titular piece of bark and the dust left behind by History?

The leitmotif of this analysis of Amereida, a phenomenon recognised to be one of the most interesting in contemporary Latin American culture and identified predominantly with the avant-garde architecture of the “Valparaiso School” and the Open City, created in 1971, in which the foundation of multicultural objects is composed of poetic acts (phalànes), is a question about the part played in their emergence by a literary journey, the so-called Travesía. This journey conducted in 1965 by a group composed of ten persons was described as ”mythical”, “foundation-like” and “a new act of founding America”. The author enquires about the effectiveness of literary journeys within the domain of culture, the dependence of decolonisation upon the European heritage, and the ambivalence of utopian undertakings in the Open City at the time of the Pinochet dictatorship, as well as the limitation of media mediating in the journey (poem, diary, photograph). The framework of the reflections is composed of deliberations concerning a new deciphering of the poetics of Mallarmé, in which the restricted impact of language – comprehended as L’action restreinte – does not exclude the political qualities of poetry. Despite such an interpretation and the fact that for Amereida the oeuvre of the French poet comprised a source of essential inspiration, a juxtaposition of both utopias makes it possible to extract the principal difference in the limitations of poetic activity.

Consumption is the use of goods and services to meet the needs of individuals. Meeting the needs in this way is beneficial to individuals and individuals. Consumption is the ultimate use in a practical context. In other words, we can say that it is a level of procurement that meets the needs of people to carry out further processing or recirculation of goods and services. People from ancient times-where waste objects were not yet invented-were not throwing away objects or converting them into form functioning of another object. In consumer societies, objects are purchased - they are transformed immediately into a market. In a capitalist society, re-circulating objects and making the material of an art object stand as an opposition and avant-garde attitude to the existing system. In this context, when we look at the past of Arte Povera (poor art), we must first state that the socio-cultural and economic elements of its emergence have created compelling factors with ideological constructions, and basically the "person" becomes increasingly weak under these elements. Along with all these references, Arte Povera's spirit is the process of returning the essence of art to the pure, raising the awareness of the artists and taking a critical attitude.

With seven holes (perde) and nine nodes (boğum) ney carries on traditional fret movements to present. These movements are made to carry on frets to higher-pitched or lower-pitched and these movements are important for solving performance problems. Fret movement is a part of the leverage-pratice transformation progress. Therefore it’s aimed to analyze frets which constituted differences in the performance of mathematical position. First of all, ten historical neys were selected and then their fret measurements were applied on the plastical and reed materials (re-production). Thus, the relationship of the fret movements and intervals in the performance was analysed. As a result the data about the relationship of the frets movements with intervals on the performance was provided. The relationship of the fret movements with melodical distances, will be researched on this data in the article.

Traditional approaches are generally applied in accounting education. Traditional approaches take place on the basis of teacher activity, using blackboard or various presentation tools, and usually on the basis of case analysis and homework. The student is in a passive position, listening, taking notes, asking questions and doing homework giving by teacher. In this approach, regardless of the success and effectiveness of the teacher, the level of achievement in accounting learning is proportionately lower, depending on the student's encounter with new concepts and information, and the level of learning and learning perceptions of the learners. Thus, it is not very meaningful to insist on these approaches because the traditional methods are easy and familiar to apply, but their success is low. Instead of the traditional approach, the modeling of the learners to working the pre-determined issues with technological tools and understanding them, and by reinforcing through questioning and case solving in the classroom environment can be more effective and conducive. This model is called Flipped or inverted classroom and blended teaching in foreign writing. The common point of these models is the implementation of a flexible teaching model that is personalized to learners. In this context, the aim of this study is to raise awareness by emphasizing the necessity and importance of implementing the personalized flexible teaching model in accounting education and training and to apply in order to determine the cultural structure change and the approach to the teaching model in the general accounting course of the business department of Biga İİBF.

The article presents the results of empirical studies into the way, in which students of lower classes understand the notion of creativity and beauty in art. The analysis of the results enables to formulate the statement that children grasp creativity in a manner that is superficial and inadequate, by identifying it, above all, with making objects that are pretty and useful. Students have difficulties articulating the meaning of the notion of beauty, which they associate with the features of the surrounding environment and with nature. The author of the article presents proposals of shaping students’ language as an important element of aesthetic education.

Csaba Székely burst into the Hungarian theatrical world a few years ago with his Mine-trilogy about the Transylvanian environment and his plays have been translated into several languages since then. His drama published in this issue, The Sand Monster (A homokszörny) steps away from the themes imposed by the environment and explores relationships between lovers, spouses, sex-partners. The order of scenes seems to follow the dramaturgy of an endless cyclic movement. Pairs of women with names of fruits and men with names of colours appear in dramatic moments that are sometimes spectacular, at other times hidden and defying silence. Whether relationships are dominated by emotion, carnality or social conditions, the feminine and masculine roles unite and separate as in a dance. The very same dance carries the sadness of relationship-paradoxes, while the carefully balanced playfulness and irony of the text keeps a distance from the characters, actually watching human nature from that distance.

In the social gender and the concept of identity, feminism including subjects such as queer, ethnicity, racial difference, got importance especially after 1960s and with the postmodernism and has been the subject of many studies such as philosophy, sociology and art. Of course, these concepts are not new. The concept of social gender, even if it wasn’t named before, has been an issue that is explicit or implicit in the context of history, sociology, philosophy, economics, and politics, an issue whose effects and presence are experienced and discussed today as in the past. The issue of woman is the foremost one in the context of the concept of social gender. In this text, both the position of women in the field of art with the same importance and the reconstruction of social gender and the concepts of gender and the reflection of them in the contemporary art will be examined.

Márta Bodó reviews the book of Tg-Mures based actor and teacher, Erzsébet B. Fülöp, entitled The Basics of Theatrical Hermeneutics: Gesture as Hermeneutical Action (A színházi hermeneutika alapjai: a Gesztus mint hermeneutikai tett).

Contemporary German playwright and media-artist Felicia Zeller’s Conversations with Astronauts, translated by Beáta Adorjáni, was nominated in 2011 for best new German play at the Mülheimer Theatertage. The location of Zeller’s text-event with nonlinear dramaturgy is Ditchland, the characters are Au-pairs who work there and the families who have taken them in. Playing with geographical identification, the language makes real references ambiguous, sketching the experience of foreignness, as well as the small, humiliating, ordinary situations of sub- and super-ordination. The tension of Zeller’s drama is constructed on the linguistic situation of the infantilized status of a foreign language-learner that is related to several other – cultural and economic – gestures of power. The ironic linguistic perspective, much like Elfriede Jelinek’s similar texts, also raises the problem of (self)-expression: struggling and developing, random speech opens the space for the minor characters of social discourse.

Interpretation of the meanings and symbols used in the Reyog Ponorogo equipment has several different meanings and differences of views in the society, players, community leaders and warok. The point of view, importance and approaches used in the interpretation and meaning are the reasons for the differences. Differences of interpretation on the Reyog Ponorogo equipment due to various interests can lead to eroded cultural values and threaten national integrity. The indications that lead to the erosion and erosion of values and meanings have begun to be felt by the society, for example, the writing of REYOG in Barongan is changed to REOG for the sake of development, the use of Jathil woman in the stage is considered far from the original meaning of the role of Jathil and the claim of ownership of Reyog art by other countries is a clear proof that there is a threat to national integrity. The difference between meaning and interpretation is the basis of this research to explore the philosophy of the Reyog Ponorogo art equipment. The specific target in this research is the compilation of a philosophy book of the Reyog Ponorogo art equipment. The technique of data analysis is descriptive qualitative through processes, induction-interpretation-conceptualization, field data will be analysed by refining rough empirical material into field report, simplification of data to achieve detailed information but already focused in original expression respondents (indigenous concept) as the appearance of its emic perspective, so that what the mind has hidden behind the story of the respondent (interpretation) and finally a concept can be found. The concept of the purposes and meaning of the Reyog set from various perspectives has finally been summed up to be a philosophy of the Reyog Ponorogo art equipment.
