Dançando às avessas: relatos de um processo de criação

The term body without organs is present in a poem by the french writer, actor and director Antonin Artaud, written in 1947 and titled: To Have Done with the Judgement of God. I aim, in this work, from what we call investigative scenic writing, to problematize this term and its possible relations with the theater and also with some aspects of the Hindu myths. I unite the idea of the body without organs with the body in trance present in the stories of an Indian master named Caitanya Mahaprabhu. These ideas, along with the development of practices that come from some principles of Theatre Anthropology, are incentives for a creation process that highlights the work of preparation and creation of corporeal work of the actor. The relationship between the concepts and the practice raise discussions about where I stand as an actor-researcher in process

Changes in seasonal snow cover in Hindu Kush-Himalayan region

The changes in seasonal snow covered area in the Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) region have been examined using Moderate – resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) 8-day standard snow products. The average snow covered area of the HKH region based on satellite data from 2000 to 2010 is 0.76 million km2 which is 18.23% of the total geographical area of the region. The linear trend in annual snow cover from 2000 to 2010 is −1.25±1.13%. This is in consistent with earlier reported decline of the decade from 1990 to 2001. A similar trend for western, central and eastern HKH region is 8.55±1.70%, +1.66% ± 2.26% and 0.82±2.50%, respectively. The snow covered area in spring for HKH region indicates a declining trend (−1.04±0.97%). The amount of annual snowfall is correlated with annual seasonal snow cover for the western Himalaya, indicating that changes in snow cover are primarily due to interannual variations in circulation patterns. Snow cover trends over a decade were also found to vary across seasonally and the region. Snow cover trends for western HKH are positive for all seasons. In central HKH the trend is positive (+15.53±5.69%) in autumn and negative (−03.68±3.01) in winter. In eastern HKH the trend is positive in summer (+3.35±1.62%) and autumn (+7.74±5.84%). The eastern and western region of HKH has an increasing trend of 10% to 12%, while the central region has a declining trend of 12% to 14% in the decade between 2000 and 2010. Snow cover depletion curve plotted for the hydrological year 2000–2001 reveal peaks in the month of February with subsidiary peaks observed in November and December in all three regions of the HKH.

Creating religious place in Ireland: Hindu public places of worship and the Indian sculpture park

This paper examines the creation of religious place. It argues that the designation of a place as “religious” is a subjective and creative act which is dependent upon the perception and past, or memory, of the viewer. The paper focuses specifically on the creation of public places of worship by Hindu groups in the Dublin city area of Ireland and on the varied perceptions of the Indian Sculpture Park in County Wicklow. The creation of public places of worship results in places classified as “religious” due to the intention of the creator, the terminology used and the types of activities that take place in the space. This is in contrast to places such as the Indian Sculpture Park in County Wicklow which was created as a secular space but which is viewed by some Hindus as an outdoor temple due to the presence of sculptures of the Hindu deity Ganesh. Other Hindus do not view the space as having any religious significance and so its religiosity is contested. This points to the fact that the creation of religious place is a creative act of interpretation which is dependent upon the perception and past of the viewer and which changes over time.

Trilogía mítica : proyecto interdisciplinar de lenguas griega, española, inglesa y francesa para tercero de BUP.

Realizar una indagación teórica de reflexión y estudio sobre las realidades lingüísticas afloradas de tres mitos especialmente conocidos y relevantes para las culturas europeas. Contrastar las pervivencias (mito genuino) y las manipulaciones (mito tecnificado) de los mitos en las sociedades francesa, inglesa y española. Utilización de los mitos en la enseñanza de las lenguas. La descripción de los mitos de Prometeo, Démeter y Heracles se hacen en tres fases: síntesis del mito; aproximación al mismo; contexto en el que se desarrolla: sociedad y funciones que cumple dentro de la misma. En una segunda parte se realiza un análisis de la pervivencia de cada uno de los mitos en épocas y culturas particulares; analizando la dimensión pedagógica tanto del mito original como de las elaboraciones posteriores. Ver bibliografía. El análisis que se realiza en este estudio es esencialmente de carácter teórico, basado fundamentalmente en el examen de la bibliografía. Se ofrece material de referencia de cara al trabajo de los mitos en el aula desde una perspectiva interdisciplinar. Se proponen materiales de diversos tipos para el desarrollo del trabajo con cada uno de los mitos, así se apuntan títulos de canciones, artículos de periódicos, diapositivas, películas, fotografías, textos de trabajo para los estudiantes. Se prevé la realización de una segunda parte de este trabajo que comprenderá el desarrollo curricular por materias y la evaluación final de la experiencia de aplicación pedagógica de los mitos analizados en el aula. En esta se incluirán los textos escritos y los materiales audiovisuales empleados.

La simbología mítica en la narrativa de Santiago Páez: la concepción del tiempo y el héroe

En el primer capítulo se precisa la perspectiva de acercamiento crítico a la obra del autor: mito y estructura narrativa se entrelazan y, por lo tanto, la presencia del mito no solo se reduce al contenido sino a una forma de estructurar y concebir la realidad. Planteamos que esta perspectiva es especialmente evidente en las obras catalogadas como “ficción científica”,1 de allí que hacemos una breve referencia a la presencia, en nuestro país, de obras pertenecientes a este subgénero, entendido como una derivación de la literatura fantástica desde el planteamiento de Tzvetan Todorov. En este capítulo, además, se profundizan los conceptos utilizados en el análisis, especialmente lo que entendemos por “pensamiento mítico”, que se evidencia por ejemplo en la presencia de la metamorfosis, o en la posibilidad de viajes en el tiempo. En el segundo y tercer capítulos, se realiza el análisis propiamente dicho, desde dos grandes perspectivas: en primer lugar, la del “Tiempo mítico”, que nos permite analizar la actualización del tiempo (pasado, futuro) a través del rito (presente), que de ningún modo se puede concebir si no es desde una forma mítica de percibir la realidad. El segundo aspecto, “El héroe mítico”, nos permite acercarnos a los personajes desde la presencia del arquetipo, especialmente el arquetipo del héroe, que siempre cumple una trayectoria cuyas fases se analizan: la separación, el alejamiento y el retorno. Este análisis hace posible afirmar, finalmente, que la narrativa de ficción científica de Santiago Páez está estructurada con una perspectiva mítica de la realidad, que es la que hace posibles los viajes en el espacio y en el tiempo, así como la trascendencia del héroe a través del recorrido simbólico que realiza.

La carne recordada : un análisis de la atemporalidad mítica y la subversión religiosa en Pedro Páramo

The aim of the present study is to analyze the representation of the mythic timelessness and the religious subversion in the novel Pedro Páramo (1953) by the Mexican writer Juan Rulfo. The novel is analyzed from a narratological perspective based on the concept of focalization proposed by the French theoretician Gérard Genette. According to Genette it is possible to identify different levels of focalization depending on the position of the narrative voices.The key question in this investigation is if any salvation is possible in the universe of Pedro Páramo and how the mythic timelessness and the religious subversion are represented in the textual intentionality through the narrative voices. The main conclusion is that there is no possible salvation in the fictional universe of Pedro Páramo. The collective sin is so vast that the intermediation between God and the inhabitants of Comala does not work anymore. Thus, the only possible ”salvation” consists in the separation of the soul from the body the people of Comala experience after death. In Pedro Páramo the dead body is liberated from remorses, but - contrary to the Catholic concepts - becomes a conscious materia sentenced to remember eternally.Keywords: Juan Rulfo, Pedro Páramo, narratological analysis, Gérard Genette, textual intentionality, focalization, mythic timelessness, religious subversion, narrative voices.
