La voz flamenca del violín

Este proyecto representa una aproximación al flamenco desde la música clásica, y más concretamente desde el punto de vista violinístico. Se trata de una visión personal sobre los elementos técnicos e interpretativos a seguir para adentrarnos en la estilística flamenca. Ampliar los conocimientos musicales para así enriquecernos y crecer, tanto como personas como músicos. De la fusión musical emergen nuevos horizontes con los que poder expresarnos. Esto nos abre las puertas a la creatividad.

On the distribution of income and worker assignment under intra-firm spillovers, with an application to ideas and networks

We study the earnings structure and the equilibrium assignment of workers when workers exert intra-firm spillovers on each other.We allow for arbitrary spillovers provided output depends on some aggregate index of workers' skill. Despite the possibility of increasing returns to skills, equilibrium typically exists. We show that equilibrium will typically be segregated; that the skill space can be partitioned into a set of segments and any firm hires from only one segment. Next, we apply the model to analyze the effect of information technology on segmentation and the distribution of income. There are two types of human capital, productivity and creativity, i.e. the ability to produce ideas that may be duplicated over a network. Under plausible assumptions, inequality rises and then falls when network size increases, and the poorest workers cannot lose. We also analyze the impact of an improvement in worker quality and of an increased international mobility of ideas.

Organisational values as "attractors of chaos": An emerging cultural change to manage organisational complexity

Business organisations are excellent representations of what in physics and mathematics are designated "chaotic" systems. Because a culture of innovation will be vital for organisational survival in the 21st century, the present paper proposes that viewing organisations in terms of "complexity theory" may assist leaders in fine-tuning managerial philosophies that provide orderly management emphasizing stability within a culture of organised chaos, for it is on the "boundary of chaos" that the greatest creativity occurs. It is argued that 21st century companies, as chaotic social systems, will no longer be effectively managed by rigid objectives (MBO) nor by instructions (MBI). Their capacity for self-organisation will be derived essentially from how their members accept a shared set of values or principles for action (MBV). Complexity theory deals with systems that show complex structures in time or space, often hiding simple deterministic rules. This theory holds that once these rules are found, it is possible to make effective predictions and even to control the apparent complexity. The state of chaos that self-organises, thanks to the appearance of the "strange attractor", is the ideal basis for creativity and innovation in the company. In this self-organised state of chaos, members are not confined to narrow roles, and gradually develop their capacity for differentiation and relationships, growing continuously toward their maximum potential contribution to the efficiency of the organisation. In this way, values act as organisers or "attractors" of disorder, which in the theory of chaos are equations represented by unusually regular geometric configurations that predict the long-term behaviour of complex systems. In business organisations (as in all kinds of social systems) the starting principles end up as the final principles in the long term. An attractor is a model representation of the behavioral results of a system. The attractor is not a force of attraction or a goal-oriented presence in the system; it simply depicts where the system is headed based on its rules of motion. Thus, in a culture that cultivates or shares values of autonomy, responsibility, independence, innovation, creativity, and proaction, the risk of short-term chaos is mitigated by an overall long-term sense of direction. A more suitable approach to manage the internal and external complexities that organisations are currently confronting is to alter their dominant culture under the principles of MBV.

Creative accounting: Some ethical issues of macro- and micro-manipulation

This paper examines two principal categories of manipulative behaviour. The term'macro-manipulation' is used to describe the lobbying of regulators to persuadethem to produce regulation that is more favourable to the interests of preparers.'Micro-manipulation' describes the management of accounting figures to produce abiased view at the entity level. Both categories of manipulation can be viewed asattempts at creativity by financial statement preparers. The paper analyses twocases of manipulation which are considered in an ethical context. The paperconcludes that the manipulations described in it can be regarded as morallyreprehensible. They are not fair to users, they involve an unjust exercise ofpower, and they tend to weaken the authority of accounting regulators.

The three strands of intercultural polities: a comprehensive view. A critical review of Bouchard and Cantle recent books on interculturalism

Within the emerging policy debate on interculturalism we critically review two recent books in 2012: Bouchard’s L’interculturalisme: un point de vue quebecois, and Cantle’s Interculturalism: The New Era of Cohesion and Diversity. In my view, both contribute very directly to open a foundational debate on interculturalism. In addressing the point of convergence and the dividing lines of these two contributions, I will claim that in spite of having one core concept of interculturalism, there are, however, at least two basic conceptions that have to be interpreted in complementary ways: Bouchard’s essay represents the contractual strand, Cantle’s book the cohesion strand. At the end I would also suggest that these two strands do not manage to express explicitly that diversity can also be seen as a resource of innovation and creativity, and so can drive individual and social development. This view is based on the diversity advantage literature already informing most of the diversity debate in Europe and elsewhere. This is what I will call the constructivist strand. My ultimate purpose is to defend a comprehensive view, grounded on the argument that no one can have the sole authority to define intercultural policy, since the three strands can be applied at different moments, according to different purposes and policy needs. The challenge now is that policy managers be able to achieve a balance between these three policy drivers.

Creativitat, Corporeïtat i Identitat des de la Mirada Ecosistèmica i Transdisciplinar

Viure és traçar petjades al terra mirant la plenitud de l’horitzó, fer-se present en el món i reinventar-lo, saber qui som i a on anem. La recerca de sentit existencial és un procés inherent a la condició humana, el qual és especialment significatiu a l’adolescència. En el seu compromís amb la vida: Com pot l’educació acompanyar els nois i les noies adolescents en el camí de cercar la seva identitat en un context social i cultural global, dinàmic i plurireferencial? Aprendre a crear sentit a la pròpia existència esdevé un aspecte fonamental en l’educació per al desenvolupament personal i la ciutadania. L‘aportació següent pretén destacar el paper que desenvolupen la creativitat i la corporeïtat en la consciència i expressió de la identitat des de la mirada ecosistèmica i transdisciplinar.

The Arts (Music, Arts&Crafts and Drama) as a procedure for learning pre-school content: Grupo Edebé Project

There is nothing as amazing and fascinating as children learning process. Between 0 and 6 years old, a child brain develops in a waythat will never be repeated. At this age, children are eager to discover and they have great potential of active and affective life.Because of this, their learning capacity in this period is incalculable. (Jordan-Decarbo y Nelson, 2002; Wild, 1999).Pre-school Education is a unique and special stage, with self identity, which aims are:attending children as a whole,motivate them to learn,give them an affective and stable environment in which they can grow up and get to be balanced and confident people and inwhich they can relate to others, learn, enjoy and be happy.Arts, Music, Visual Arts and Drama (Gardner, 1994) can provide a framework of special, even unique, personal expression.With the aim of introducing qualitative improvements in the education of children and to ensure their emotional wellbeing, and havingnoticed that teachers had important needs and concerns as regards to diversity in their student groups, we developed a programbased on the detection of needs and concerns explained by professionals in education.This program of Grupo edebé, object of our research, is a multicultural, interdisciplinary and globalizing project the aims of which are:developing children's talent and personality,keeping their imagination and creativity and using these as a learning resource,promoting reasoning, favouring expression and communication,providing children with the tools to manage their emotions,and especially, introducing Arts as a procedure to increase learning.We wanted to start the research by studying the impact (Brice, 2003) that this last point had on the learning of five-year-old childrenschooled in multicultural environments.Therefore, the main goal of the research was the assessment of the implementation of a child education programme attending todiversity in a population of five-year-old children, specifically in the practice of procedures based on the use of Arts (music, arts andcrafts and theatre) as a vehicle or procedure for learning contents in Pre-school stage.Because children emotional welfare was a subject of our concern, and bearing in mind that the affective aspects are of vitalimportance for learning and child development (Parke and Gauvain, 2009), Grupo Edebé has also evaluated the starting, evolving andfinal impact in five-year-old children given that they finish Pre-school education at that age.

Fer cinema: un bon recurs per potenciar la creativitat a les aules

Aquesta petita investigació es divideix en dues parts. La primera, basada en els estudis teòrics, ofereix una visió de la importància de la creativitat dins i fora l’escola i de la didàctica d’aquesta a través de l’experiència de fer cinema. Fer d’actor, guionista, càmera, maquillador, escenògraf, entre d’altres, és una eina metodològica que potencia la creativitat dels alumnes? Ho investiguem a la segona part d’aquest document mitjançant estratègies d’avaluació de la creativitat. I els resultats indiquen que els infants que han realitzar el projecte de fer cinema tenen més bona qualificació en tots els aspectes avaluats.

Els beneficis de la música a l'aula inclusiva: les emocions a l'aula infantil

Aquest Treball de Final de Grau en Mestre d’Educació Infantil, i especialitat en menció inclusiva, té com a objectiu analitzar els beneficis de la música a les aules inclusives de parvulari de l’escola Jacint Verdaguer de Santa Eugènia de Berga. La música no només ajuda a desenvolupar el sentit de l’oïda, del tacte i el llenguatge, sinó que també millora la capacitat d’improvisació i la creativitat. A més, redueix barreres pel que fa a la participació i a l’aprenentatge de tots els alumnes i promou el treball en grup i d’una forma emocional. Podem dir, doncs, que la música és integradora, uneix cultures i crea noves formes d’expressió musical. El meu paper en el projecte és totalment actiu. Es porten a terme quatre activitats relacionades amb l’àmbit musical per tal de fer un anàlisi exhaustiu i de deduir quines són les emocions que provoca la música. Per tant, aquesta recerca pretén, d’una banda, donar coneixements més profunds sobre la relació entre música i educació emocional i, de l’altra, portar a terme algunes activitats per analitzar les reaccions d’infants de diferents edats. Per finalitzar aquest treball d’investigació, s’aporten unes conclusions sobre el paper de la música a l’aprenentatge.

¿ Sólo informar o también persuadir? Museos y publicidad en España

Este artículo explora la actual relación de la publicidad convencional con los museos de arte españoles, presentando los dos modelos existentes: el que sólo se preocupa por informar y otro que explora y explota las posibilidades del lenguaje publicitario. El primero, mayoritario, fortalece la excepcionalidad del ámbito cultural, mientras que el segundo, muy minoritario, demuestra con sus excepciones que es posible aplicar la creatividad en la publicidad producida para posicionar a los museos españoles y promocionar sus actividades.

La necesaria transformación del modelo productivo en España: el papel del territorio.

El fracàs de les bases del model productiu espanyol fonamentat en una baixa productivitat s'ha traduït en una incapacitat absoluta de reacció enfront de la crisi econòmica amb creixents taxes d'atur i un greu estancament del PIB. El principal repte de l'economia espanyola requereix d'apostes decidides per pilars en els quals se sustenti un nou model productiu, això és, la creativitat, la innovació i el coneixement. Aquest article abordarà en primer lloc el marc teòric en el qual s'emmarca el paper que assumeix el territori al segle XXI com a motor de canvi econòmic. Seguidament, s'identifiquessin els aspectes clau de l'actual model productiu i a continuació s'estudiarà la contribució del territori al canvi de model sobre la base de quatre grans àrees metropolitanes: Madrid, Barcelona, València i Bilbao. Finalment, s'incidirà en les recomanacions de política pública a la llum dels anteriors resultats.

Writing for the contemporany naturalistic stage: a personal process of creation

El objetivo principal de este proyecto es desarrollar más a fondo y consolidar los objetivos formativos y competencias del grado en Estudios Ingleses a través de un trabajo de escritura creativa, en concreto, la creación de una obra teatral original. Este trabajo consiste en, por un lado, una introducción al Naturalismo, como género literario en un marco cultural y metodológico, y por otro lado, la creación personal de una obra naturalista que incluye la primera parte del manuscrito. Este proyecto incluye un proceso completo de creatividad justificado gracias a las principales teorías de algunos escritores naturalistas, como: Émile Zola – como precursor del Naturalismo – y August Strindberg como uno de los mayores mentores de este género literario. Los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo son: la creación de una obra teatral original, una especialización en el movimiento Naturalista aplicado al teatro contemporáneo, y un profundo conocimiento de la lengua inglesa a través de la perspectiva de un dramaturgo.

Creative and Multidisciplinary Etching in the Digital Age

In our capacity as creative artists, researchers and fine arts professors, most part of our activity focuses on the relationships between people and creativity, technology, and resources, and, most frequently, what we aim to offer are new enjoyable and subversive ways of interacting with these three fields. As art teachers, we ask 'why and how' to teach dynamic bearing in mind that digital technology will undoubtedly impact on contemporary art practice.

Cultural events and tourist development in Catalonia (Spain)

From the point of view of local development cultural tourism events represent an opportunity since they are distributed homogeneously by the Catalan territory and are experiencing a vertiginous growth as a way to differentiate the existing supply. In our study a sample of 264 telephone surveys made to organizers of events in Catalonia has been compiled, with the purpose of characterizing the existing supply, thematic typologies, management models, commercialization inputs and economic impact. The results allow us to characterize events from the point of view of their tourist potential. Finally some recommendations are set out to develop future tourism policies based on events according to product differentiation, seasonality, competitiveness and creativity.
