A filosofia da arte de Arthur Danto: um estudo a partir de Deleuze e Guattari

O objetivo principal deste trabalho será investigar algumas das teses de Arthur Danto, que reconhece nas práticas artísticas contemporâneas um ponto de inflexão a partir do qual um novo paradigma artístico, ainda hoje em plena vigência, teria se imposto. Abordaremos a obra de Danto a partir do ponto de vista de Gilles Deleuze e Felix Guattari, que em O que é a Filosofia? Afirmam ser a filosofia uma criação que consistiria de três elementos fundamentais, quais sejam: o plano de imanência, os conceitos e os personagens conceituais. Assim, utilizaremos esta perspectiva para definir o plano de imanência de Danto, bem como seus conceitos e personagens, aproveitando para refletir sobre a relevância e validade filosófica de associar escolas filosóficas antagônicas, tais como a filosofia americana e a filosofia francesa.

L'En-Amour, dialogue avec l'oeuvre de Colette

Cet essai fut écrit sur le mode de la promenade, d’une promenade accompagnée par les voix, des voix. Parmi elles, celle de Colette, de certains de ses personnages, celles contenues en moi. L’écriture a été libre, a tenté de l’être au moins, en se séparant de l’idée qu’un but précis, qu’une destination finale devait être atteinte. Il s’agissait de me laisser guider par l’errance des mots, par le rythme que prend la plume quand elle pense. De Colette, je ne dis rien, ou presque. Mon but étant de l’entendre, c’est en tant que lectrice que j’ai pris place dans cette réflexion, lectrice amoureuse, c’est-à-dire, guidée par l’En-Amour, conçu comme personnage conceptuel. C’est donc de ce point de vue que les textes ont été abordés, afin de laisser place à la vie, à la mouvance, à ce qui grouille dans l’œuvre colettienne. De cette manière, il me semblait possible d’entrer réellement en relation avec les personnages, mais aussi avec la représentation que je me faisais de l’auteure. Il me fallait garder la poésie de l’écriture de Colette, y entrelacer la mienne et tenter ainsi de donner des mots à une sorte de silencieuse oralité. Et le chemin s’est poursuivi, jusqu’à une vérité relative, vérité de l’En-Amour, donnée et mise en forme par les récits colettiens et leurs sous-entendus. De cette façon, je voyais la possibilité de redonner foi et valeur au(x) discours amoureux comme potentiel(s) de vérité.

Determination of coastal ground and surface water processes and character by use of hydrochemistry and stable isotopes, Fraser Coast, Queensland

This study was part of an integrated project developed in response to concerns regarding current and future land practices affecting water quality within coastal catchments and adjacent marine environments. Two forested coastal catchments on the Fraser Coast, Australia, were chosen as examples of low-modification areas with similar geomorphological and land-use characteristics to many other coastal zones in southeast Queensland. For this component of the overall project, organic , physico-chemical (Eh, pH and DO), ionic (Fe2+, Fe3+), and isotopic (ä13CDIC, ä15NDIN ä34SSO4) data were used to characterise waters and identify sources and processes contributing to concentrations and form of dissolved Fe, C, N and S within the ground and surface waters of these coastal catchments. Three sites with elevated Fe concentrations are discussed in detail. These included a shallow pool with intermittent interaction with the surface water drainage system, a monitoring well within a semi-confined alluvial aquifer, and a monitoring well within the fresh/saline water mixing zone adjacent to an estuary. Conceptual models of processes occurring in these environments are presented. The primary factors influencing Fe transport were; microbial reduction of Fe3+ oxyhydroxides in groundwaters and in the hyporheic zone of surface drainage systems, organic input available for microbial reduction and Fe3+ complexation, bacterial activity for reduction and oxidation, iron curtain effects where saline/fresh water mixing occurs, and variation in redox conditions with depth in ground and surface water columns. Data indicated that groundwater seepage appears a more likely source of Fe to coastal waters (during periods of low rainfall) via tidal flux. The drainage system is ephemeral and contributes little discharge to marine waters. However, data collected during a high rainfall event indicated considerable Fe loads can be transported to the estuary mouth from the catchment.

Network learning:an empirically-derived conceptual model of learning by groups of organizations

Building on a previous conceptual article, we present an empirically derived model of network learning - learning by a group of organizations as a group. Based on a qualitative, longitudinal, multiple-method empirical investigation, five episodes of network learning were identified. Treating each episode as a discrete analytic case, through cross-case comparison, a model of network learning is developed which reflects the common, critical features of the episodes. The model comprises three conceptual themes relating to learning outcomes, and three conceptual themes of learning process. Although closely related to conceptualizations that emphasize the social and political character of organizational learning, the model of network learning is derived from, and specifically for, more extensive networks in which relations among numerous actors may be arms-length or collaborative, and may be expected to change over time.

Pivoting the player: a framework for player character research in offline computer role-playing games

This article introduces a theoretical framework for the analysis of the player character (PC) in offline computer role-playing games (cRPGs). It derives from the assumption that the character constitutes the focal point of the game, around which all the other elements revolve. This underlying observation became the foundation of the Player Character Grid and its constituent Pivot Player Character Model, a conceptual framework illustrating the experience of gameplay as perceived through the PC’s eyes. Although video game characters have been scrutinised from many different perspectives, a systematic framework has not been introduced yet. This study aims to fill that void by proposing a model replicable across the cRPG genre. It has been largely inspired by Anne Ubersfeld’s semiological dramatic character research implemented in Reading Theatre I (1999) and is demonstrated with reference to The Witcher (CD Projekt RED 2007).

El lenguaje gráfico de Eduardo Chillida como aportación conceptual para la identidad tipográfica de la Universidad del País Vasco UPV/EHU

El valor de la documentación especializada en las fases del diseño / The value of specialized documentation in the design process este proyecto de investigación financiado por la Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea UPV/EHU-PES 11/31, a través de su programa de investigación estratégica, tiene como objetivo la creación de la tipografía de identidad visual corporativa de la Universidad del País Vasco UPV/EHU, cuyo inicio conceptual para dotar de unas características de identidad visual corporativa a la UPV/EHU, ha sido planteado desde las especulaciones estéticas sobre la forma, materializadas por Eduardo Chillida. En la producción gráfica de este artista encontramos una sutil coincidencia con principios vitales para la creación tipográfica, en cuanto al planteamiento de formas dinámicas y constructivas, en las que el rigor geométrico es vencido por una suerte de organicidad que parte del núcleo mismo de la estructura "cursus", por: la fuerza vital que imprime la acción modulada del gesto "ductus"; por la dialéctica entre lo lleno y lo vacío forma/contraforma, por el impulso y la espontaneidad carácter, o por la afirmación de un lenguaje plástico en la cultura diferenciada del medio en el que se vive la identidad.
