Da representação ao mito: Xirê - festa e tradição negro-brasileira

O presente trabalho reexamina momentos da História da filosofia desde o seu advento com Platão, na pretensa separação Mythos e Logos, até a sua completude em Descartes, com a inauguração da subjetividade como fundamento do mundo. A seguir, tenta-se mostrar o limite do pensamento representacional, fruto do subjetivismo, pela busca do fundamento no próprio mundo, revelado, na festa (xirê) na cultura negro-brasileira.

Analisi comparativa del fenomeno dell'alternanza grafo-fonica nella scrittura manoscritta e digitale di bambini di lingua spagnola e italiana di 4 e 5 anni

L'articolo presenta i risultati di una ricerca comparativa tra bambini di 4 e 5 anni appartenenti a due contesti linguistici diversi circa il fenomeno delle alternanze grafo-foniche. Nell'indagine è stato richiesto a 60 bambini (30 argentini e 30 italiani) di scrivere sotto dettatura dell'adulto uno stesso elenco di parole, prima in forma manoscritta e poi con l'uso del pc; e successivamente di confrontare le due versioni. In questo modo è stato possibile cogliere le diverse modalità di risoluzione dei problemi legati alla scrittura degli stessi segmenti sillabici: dall?utilizzo di modalità più stabili, come l?identità totale, ad altre più instabili, come le alternanze. Come già indagato nella lingua spagnola, nei diversi livelli di concettualizzazione, in entrambe le lingue sono state individuate alternanze grafo-foniche molto simili per frequenza e percentuali. Questo fenomeno ci offre maggiori informazioni sulle conoscenze che i bambini possiedono rispetto al sistema di scrittura, poiché riflette il modo in cui essi esplorano e introducono i valori sonori convenzionali, soprattutto nel livello sillabico di concettualizzazione. I risultati indicano, inoltre, che la presenza e l?uso della tastiera del pc non incide in modo significativo sulla maggiore varietà o quantità (numero) di grafemi utilizzati nella produzione digitale rispetto a quella manuale

Beauty and the market: Actress postcards and their senders in early twentieth century Australia

A hundred years ago the international craze for picture postcards distributed millions of images of popular stage actresses around the world. The cards were bought, sent, and collected by many whose contact with live theatre was sometimes minimal. Veronica Kelly's study of some of these cards sent in Australia indicates the increasing reach of theatrical images and celebrity brought about by the distribution mechanisms of industrial mass modernity. The specific social purposes and contexts of the senders are revealed by cross-reading the images themselves with the private messages on the backs, suggesting that, once outside the industrial framing of theatre or the dramatic one of specific roles, the actress operated as a multiply signifying icon within mass culture – with the desires and consumer power of women major factors in the consumption of the glamour actress card. A study of the typical visual rhetoric of these postcards indicates the authorized modes of femininity being constructed by the major postcard publishers whose products were distributed to theatre fans and non-theatregoers alike through the post. Veronica Kelly is working on a project dealing with commercial managements and stars in early twentieth-century Australian theatre. She teaches in the School of English, Media Studies, and Art History at the University of Queensland, is co-editor of Australasian Drama Studies, and author of databases and articles dealing with colonial and contemporary Australian theatre history and dramatic criticism. Her books include The Theatre of Louis Nowra (1998) and the collection Our Australian Theatre in the 1990s (1998).

A Complementary Economy? National Markets and International Product in Early Australian Theatre Managements

The international circulation of commercial theatre in the early twentieth century was driven not only from the centres of Great Britain and the USA, but by the specific enterprise and habitus of managers in ‘complementary’ production sites such as Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. The activity of this period suggests a de-centred competitive trade in theatrical commodities – whether performers, scripts, or productions – wherein the perceived entertainment preferences and geographies of non-metropolitan centres were formative of international enterprise. The major producers were linked in complex bonds of partnerships, family, or common experience which crossed the globe. The fractures and commonalities displayed in the partnerships of James Cassius Williamson and George Musgrove, which came to dominate and shape the fortunes of the Australian industry for much of the century, indicate the contradictory commercial and artistic pressures bearing upon entrepreneurs seeking to provide high-quality entertainment and form advantageous combinations in competition with other local and international managements. Clarke, Meynell and Gunn mounted just such spirited competition from 1906 to 1911, and their story demonstrates both the opportunities and the centralizing logic bearing upon local managements shopping and dealing in a global market. The author, Veronica Kelly, works at the University of Queensland. She is presently undertaking a study of commercial stars and managements in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Australia, with a focus on the star performer as model of history, gender, and nation.

A RELIGIÃO COMO PROCESSO PEDAGÓGICO NO PENSAMENTO DE MEISHU-SAMA: UM DIÁLOGO COM PAULO FREIRE

Esta pesquisa busca apresentar contribuições para o campo da relação entre religião e educação, especificamente a concepção da religião como um pro-cesso pedagógico no pensamento de Meishu-Sama, fundador da Igreja Messi-ânica Mundial. O trabalho está dividido em três partes. A primeira apresenta a vida de Meishu-Sama e a história da fundação da Igreja Messiânica Mundial, que ocorreu na primeira metade do século XX no Japão. A segunda estuda a concepção de Meishu-Sama sobre a função da religião e a relação desta com a educação, especialmente no desafio fundamental para a formação do ser hu-mano. A terceira parte estabelece um diálogo entre os pensamentos educacio-nais de Paulo Freire e Meishu-Sama, especialmente em torno do desafio da humanização e das noções de educação bancária e a libertadora dialógica (Paulo Freire) e a educação morta e educação viva (Meishu-Sama). Neste diálogo é dado destaque à noção de educação espiritualista de Meishu-Sama, que considera fundamental criticar a descrença do mundo moderno em relação ao mundo espiritual . Para este autor, desconstruir o pensamento materialista e integrar o ser humano na natureza é tarefa tanto da religião co-mo da educação.

Virtual Encyclopaedia of the Bulgarian Iconography

East-Christian icon art is recognised as one of the most significant areas of the art of painting. Regrettably, it is still being neglected in the digital documentation and the registry of the art of painting. The accessibility to that large part of mankind's cultural and historical ancestry would be enhanced greatly if icons of all possible kinds and origins were digitised, classified, and „exhibited“ in the Internet. That would allow the preservation and even the future digital restoration of a large number of rare specimens of the East-Christian art of painting. This article aims to introduce how modern techniques from the area of digital libraries can be used for implementing the demonstrative multimedia library “Virtual encyclopaedia of the Bulgarian iconography ” 4, containing a large number of Bulgarian iconic art masterpieces and iconography of various authors, periods and schools.

Towards Content-Sensitive Access to the Artefacts of the Bulgarian Iconography

his paper presents an ontological model of the knowledge about Bulgarian iconographical artefacts. It also describes content-sensitive services for access, browse, search and group iconographical objects, based on the presented ontology that will be implemented in the multimedia digital library “Virtual encyclopedia of Bulgarian iconography”.

Services for Content Creation and Presentation in an Iconographical Digital Library

Content creation and presentation are key activities in a multimedia digital library (MDL). The proper design and intelligent implementation of these services provide a stable base for overall MDL functionality. This paper presents the framework and the implementation of these services in the latest version of the “Virtual Encyclopaedia of Bulgarian Iconography” multimedia digital library. For the semantic description of the iconographical objects a tree-based annotation template is implemented. It provides options for autocompletion, reuse of values, bilingual entering of data, automated media watermarking, resizing and conversing. The paper describes in detail the algorithm for automated appearance of dependent values for different characteristics of an iconographical object. An algorithm for avoiding duplicate image objects is also included. The service for automated appearance of new objects in a collection after their entering is included as an important part of the content presentation. The paper also presents the overall service-based architecture of the library, covering its main service panels, repositories and their relationships. The presented vision is based on a long-term observation of the users’ preferences, cognitive goals, and needs, aiming to find an optimal functionality solution for the end users.

Ontological Presentation of East-Christian Iconographical Art Domain

In the recent years the East-Christian iconographical art works have been digitized providing a large volume of data. The need for effective classification, indexing and retrieval of iconography repositories was the motivation of the design and development of a systemized ontological structure for description of iconographical art objects. This paper presents the ontology of the East-Christian iconographical art, developed to provide content annotation in the Virtual encyclopedia of Bulgarian iconography multimedia digital library. The ontology’s main classes, relations, facts, rules, and problems appearing during the design and development are described. The paper also presents an application of the ontology for learning analysis on an iconography domain implemented during the SINUS project “Semantic Technologies for Web Services and Technology Enhanced Learning”.
