Relation of the work of the artist Antonio Lopez with the photography. Methods of a teacher rejected as a professor

In 1966 the artist Antonio Lopez was rejected for the chair in ���Preparatorio de colorido��� (Preparatory Colouring) by the San Fernando School of Fine Arts where he himself presented his work Nevera de hielo (Ice Box). After 5 years as a ���stand in��� for this post he left the Institution. This article analyzes the circumstances and proof of a decade where there appears to be evidence of a definite change in his work, more toward Realism, uncomfortable in a system that maintained with difficulty the traditional academic model copy, and incompatible with, in those years was imposed by Spain. At the same time his relation with photography conditioned by the theoretical thoughts of the artist, and his work methods also are analyzed in this article.

The photography and the motion landscape in the urban expressway

A new kind of photographic representation, called movement-image is proposed and discussed to record the visual experience of the journey through urban highways. It consists of performing long exposure photographic shots while the track is traversed, thus registering a time-panorama which includes landscape signs and inner spaces of the ways involved. This proposal is linked to the limitations of representing these expressways, if they are understood as structures of instrumental origin, where the resulting experience comes from moving at high speed through the territory. In al almost all cases the aesthetic approach or urban integration with the city and landscape are excluded. In this sense, although such structures may be an opportunity to collect, build and colonize the urban landscape, the lack of adequate representation of the phenomenon causes a difficulty in its understanding and transformation. The options for representation using photography is assumed, knowing its own particular tradition in the use of long exposures, for the expression of the mobile, and the multiple visual attention, divided or weakened.

The use of ICT in the course ���Photography��� in university education. First results of a teaching innovation project at the University of Murcia

The new pedagogical framework arisen since the Bologna Declaration,the Prague Communiqu��and the introduction of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), encourages, significantly, the use of new Communication and Information Technology to evolve teaching methodologies. The different ways teachers relate to learners have undergone a staggering change from which educational initiatives have emerged. Many of them are based on contents��� democratization through the use of ICT. The current article is intended to show the results obtained until the 2012/2013 academic course, since the implementation of the teaching innovation project entitled ���The use of ICT for the students��� autonomous learning in the university education of the course Photography. Elaboration of a virtual classroom and results��� analysis related to the acquisition of skills and competencies��� that has been developed in the course called Draw with light: Photography, belonging to the Fine Arts Degree at the University of Murcia.

Spanish Photography Yearbooks between the Autarchy and the Transition A Documentary Analysis (1958-1980)

The first yearbook on Spanish artistic photography was published in 1924 and following the Civil War of 1936-1939, Madrid���s Real Sociedad Fotogr��fica, through its Sombras magazine, published two others in 1946 and 1948. There would not be another publication until 1958, when the Agrupaci��n Fotogr��fica Almeriense put out the third yearbook, during a period of economic recovery following the country���s admission to the U.N. at the end of 1955. However, it was not until 1972 when Spanish photography resumed the publication of annual summaries of the authors and their works. From then on until 1980, nine yearbooks were published by two institutions: The Consorcio del Libro T��cnico (Cotec) and the Editorial Everest publishing company. The object of this study is to analyze the contents of these yearbooks in order to determine and furnish new data on the history of Spanish photography: authors, works, publications, national and international relations and the purpose of their publications as a means for supporting photography.

Paisajes para el Medioambiente. Estudio de caso.

Una de las cuencas hidrogr��ficas m��s importante de la Pen��nsula es la del r��o Tajo, por su extensi��n y por su caudal. Se trata de una fosa tect��nica calificable de mod��lica. Dos moles monta��osas, el Sistema central y los Montes de Toledo en sentido amplio, la flanquean al Norte y al Sur. La dovela hundida, formada por id��nticos materiales que las Sierras, granitos y gneis, alcanza una gran profundidad. Al Este el Sistema Ib��rico castellano, principalmente calizo y mesozoico, cierra Castilla y la cuenca, viniendo a dar vida con el agua de sus nieves a un Tajo ni��o���. El inicio de su Historia Geol��gica podemos situarlo en el Paleozoico, tiempo geol��gico durante el cual los territorios donde hoy se sit��a la Meseta estaban formando grandes cordilleras producto de la Orogenia Herciniana. La ��ltima etapa de la formaci��n de los relieves actuales de la cuenca la encontramos en la reactivaci��n de los antiguos macizos arrasados. Se inicia con los materiales de la ra��a y sus equivalentes en el centro de la Cuenca o Fosa del Tajo, y se caracteriza por una progresiva individualizaci��n de los procesos, pas��ndose de las grandes superficies generalizadas en macizos y cuencas, Sierras y Fosa del Tajo, a las peque��as llanuras en franja u orla, que quedan localizadas en cada cuenca fluvial a medida que ��stas se van consolidando por jerarquizaci��n, y partir de un r��o generatriz o emisario principal, el Tajo. La tect��nica, procesos posteriores de captura, reajustes clim��ticos..., no permiten a��n determinar cu��l fue el orden de jerarqu��a en los r��os que hoy conocemos; no obstante, puede aventurarse que Jarama-Henares, Perales-Alberche y Guadarrama ser��an los primeros y Manzanares, Guadalix, Taju��a, los siguientes, y as�� sucesivamente. La s��ntesis de la realidad geol��gica, litol��gica y clim��tica va a coadyuvar, frenando o favoreciendo, el desarrollo y la diferenciaci��n entre los paisajes vegetales de las zonas monta��osas y los de las depresiones terciarias y penillanuras paleozoicas, en un territorio marcado por el predominio del clima mediterr��neo continentalizado, con matices de monta��a y ��reas de influencia atl��ntica.

Cooperativism, entrepreneurship and economic development: a linking theoretical model

Cooperatives, as a kind of firms, are considered by many scholars as an remarkable alternative for overcoming the economic crisis started in 2008. Besides, there are other scholars which pointed out the important role that these firms play in the regional economic development. Nevertheless, when one examines the economic literature on cooperatives, it is detected that this kind of firms is mainly studied starting from the point of view of their own characteristics and particularities of participation and solidarity. In this sense, following a different analysis framework, this article proposes a theoretical model in order to explain the behavior of cooperatives based on the entrepreneurship theory with the aim of increasing the knowledge about this kind of firms and, more specifically, their contribution to regional economic development.

Funciones de la fotograf��a en las relaciones interculturales entre familias inmigrantes

En este art��culo presentamos los resultados y el an��lisis de uno de los objetivos del proyecto I+D+i aprobado por el Ministerio de Econom��a y Competitividad de Espa��a titulado Mediaciones audiovisuales en las relaciones entre escuela y familias inmigrantes. Concretamente, el dirigido a conocer las funciones que tienen las im��genes fotogr��ficas en las relaciones de un grupo de padres inmigrantes en el colegio al que asisten sus hijos e hijas. Los datos presentados corresponden a las narraciones biogr��fico-culturales y visuales iniciadas en las aulas por estas familias junto a la tutora del grupo, y continuadas en sus contextos personal y social. Concluimos que las fotograf��as en los relatos han tenido las funciones de: fuente de informaci��n, soporte de an��lisis, reflexi��n y debate y, finalmente, medio para comunicar el conocimiento experiencial generado. Dentro de esta ��ltima, se han utilizado tres procedimientos que hemos denominado: denotativo autorreferencial, connotativo texto-visual y secuencial.

La evoluci��n de destinos tur��sticos litorales consolidados. An��lisis comparado de Balneario Camnori�� (Brasil) y Benidorm (Espa��a)

El objetivo de este trabajo consiste en estudiar la evoluci��n de los destinos tur��sticos litorales consolidados a partir del an��lisis comparado entre Balneario Cambori�� y Benidorm. Se trata de dos destinos localizados en contextos territoriales y tur��sticos diferentes, en los que se contrastan de manera emp��rica los indicadores de evoluci��n de los destinos y se vinculan las din��micas evolutivas con el modelo territorial-tur��stico resultante en cada destino. El an��lisis realizado permite contrastar los postulados de los modelos evolutivos cl��sicos (Butler, 1980) e incorporar los nuevos planteamientos de la geograf��a econ��mica evolutiva. La investigaci��n delimita cronol��gicamente los periodos de desarrollo de ambos destinos para identificar los factores con mayor incidencia en la evoluci��n de los mismos. Una evoluci��n marcada, fundamentalmente, por la ubicaci��n geogr��fica, la planificaci��n y gesti��n urbanotur��stica a diferentes escalas, la dependencia de determinados mercados emisores y la influencia de factores macroecon��micos. Un conjunto de factores interrelacionados que dibujan trayectorias dispares para los destinos analizados.

Hip��tesis y metodolog��a en torno a la atribuci��n de autor��as en la colecci��n Castellano de la BNE

Este art��culo pretende analizar las diferentes teor��as emitidas en torno a las autor��as de la Colecci��n Castellano, conservada en la Biblioteca Nacional de Espa��a. De este modo podremos estar en posici��n de confirmarlas o matizarlas, gracias al empleo de nuevas metodolog��as comparativas de los suelos y decorados de los estudios fotogr��ficos en el Madrid decimon��nico.

Uso del arte y de la creatividad en las terapias psicosociales. Estudio y valoraci��n de resultados de la utilizaci��n de la fotograf��a con pacientes con un trastorno grave y cr��nico

This article will reveal the experiment and the subsequent investigation work carried out with patients having chronic and severe mental illness at the Creativity and Rehabilitation Workshop of the Mental Health Service at the Health Department no. 12 of the Hospital Francisco de Borja of Gandia, Spain. The course focuses on patient training in the use of photography and image as a means of expression and as a part of psychosocial therapies to improve patients��� quality of life in front of the society. In addition, it tries to enhance the analytic capacity of the patient not only with regards to the photography aesthetically, but also personally. There are many international scientific surveys backing up the knowledge and use of Artistic and Creative Therapy in chronic patients; however, these activities are seen as pioneering actions in Spain given the current health structure, which includes few national psychiatric centers developing them continuously and being temporally monitored. This experiment demonstrates that photography significantly improves the quality of life of chronic patients and motivates them socially to communicate themselves through art, just as it helps them using creativity as a tool for social action.

Patrimonio e Identidad en la Investigaci��n Educativa Basada en las Artes desde un Enfoque Multimodal

Este art��culo describe dos experiencias de investigaci��n de nuestro grupo interconectadas, la primera desarrollada durante el a��o 2007 a trav��s del proyecto internacional CALVINO del Programa Cultura 2000 de la Uni��n Europea, y la segunda implementada durante el a��o 2014 en el marco del Proyecto Investigaci��n e Innovaci��n en Secundaria en Andaluc��a (PIIISA). Ambos proyectos tienen en com��n el eje tem��tico de la identidad a partir de una idea de patrimonio y el hecho de haber puesto en pr��ctica metodolog��as de investigaci��n basadas en las artes visuales con un enfoque multimodal. Desde estos dos puntos de anclaje relativos a la tem��tica (qu��) y a la metodolog��a (c��mo) analizamos lo acontecido para obtener conclusiones relevantes que, por una parte, pongan en valor estas pr��cticas significativas y, por otra, aporten nuestra experiencia para futuras propuestas de investigaci��n en el ��mbito tem��tico y/o metodol��gico.

Death Aesthetization in Contemporary Artistic Practices

Starting from the famous and enigmatic quotation of the Aristotle���s Poetics, who argues that the human has a natural desire and pleasure to see corpses if mediated by art, is intended to show the relationship between the attraction for the horror and some contemporary art practices surrounding the depiction of death, particularly with regard to the ultimate use of the human corpse as an artistic resource. Avoiding any kind of ethical approach or questioning of the limits of the artistic production, is meant to highlight the phenomenon through the examples brought out by the work of some contemporary artists such as Andy Warhol, Eric Fischl, Damien Hirst, Von Hagens, Andres Serrano, Joel-Peter Witkin and Teresa Margolles: From those who use the corpse in and turn it in something aesthetically pleasant, to others who turn human corpses in sculptures of scientific value, and further other kind of artists who assume the morbid and dramatic life of the corpse in their art production as something structural.
