序破急 Jo-Ha-Kyu: enticement - crux - consolidation. From study to learning: Process drama projects in the Japanese English language university classroom

This dissertation investigates how social issues can be explored through process drama projects in the Japanese university English as a Foreign Language classroom context. The trajectory of this dissertation moves along a traditional Noh three part macro-continuum, called Jo-Ha-Kyu, interpreted as enticement, crux and consolidation. Within these three parts, there are six further divisions. Part I consists of three sections: Section I, the introduction, sets the backdrop for the entire dissertation, that of Japan, and aims to draw the reader into its culturally unique and specific world. This section outlines the rationale for placing the ethnographer at the centre of the research, and presents Japan through the eyes of the writer. Section II outlines relevant Japanese cultural norms, mores and values, the English educational landscape of Japan and an overview of theatre in Japan and its possible influences on the Japanese university student today. Section III provides three literature reviews: second language acquisition, drama in education to process drama, and Content Language Integrated Learning. In Part 2, Sections IV and V respectively consist of the research methodology and the action research at the core of this dissertation. Section IV describes the case of Kwansei Gakuin University, then explains the design of the process drama curricula. Section V details the three-process drama projects based around the three social issues at the centre of this dissertation. There is also a description of an extra project that of the guest lecturer project. The ultimate goals of all four projects were to change motivation through English in a CLIL context, to develop linguistic spontaneity and to deepen emotional engagement with the themes. Part 3 serves to reflect upon the viability of using process drama in the Japanese university curriculum, and to critically self-reflect on the project as a whole.

Berga, molt més que patrimoni immaterial

Planteja un projecte extens, innovador i creatiu, que a part d’un anàlisi de l’estat de la qüestió del patrimoni a Berga i el seu ús proposa noves rutes i noves propostes per conèixer la història de la ciutat de forma més global i amena, activar, donar valor i proposar restauracions d’urgència a elements poc valorats i poc difosos. Fer que la cultura de Berga sigui molt més que la Patum, un patrimoni sostenible durant tot l’any, proper a tota classe de persones, famílies, col·lectius.... S'ha volgut crear una visió global de la cultura Berguedana, una ruta que indagui des dels orígens fins l’actualitat de la capital de comarca, ja que les propostes actuals que s’ofereixen des de l’Oficina de turisme de la ciutat, segmenten la història en parts i per tant els donen més valor, en detriment d’altres que al meu parer també són cabdals en la formació de l’actual Berga

Ressenya del llibre Els nous horitzons culturals a Mallorca al final de l'Edat Mitjana, de Maria Barceló i Gabriel Ensenyat. L’obra tracta sobre l’humanisme a Mallorca, la conclusió de la qual és que, tenint en compte que l’humanisme en estat pur no va existir ni tan sols a Itàlia, es pot parlar de l’humanisme català comptant amb les seves reminiscències de l’Edat Mitjana de les que no se sostreuen enlloc
