The Listening Body: Sound and the Sensory Apprehension of Movement
No full textThrough the Master of Fine Arts program at Emily Carr University of Art + Design my work has focused on the mediated moving body as my research investigates the concept of embodiment for joy, self-awareness, and self-reflexivity. Art is an ideal vehicle to explore different ways of knowing, beyond cognition, by encouraging feeling through aesthetic affect. I came into the MFA program with professional experience in film and videography and a background in the performing arts, which influences how I approach an audience of viewers and listeners. A significant development to my practice has been the use of sound as material, working with its illusory potential, and depicting the presence of the moving body through experimental processes and makeshift sound installations. My thesis research is driven by a desire to understand, through experience; sensory perception, embodiment, the palpability of human presence through sound, and how to apprehend features of the world by listening and generating a felt sense of the physical body in space.PerceptionSpatial soundSensoryAudience experienceMovementEmbodimentImmersiveVirtua
‘Give me a minute, I just need to put you into your groups’: Transferring group activities to the online space using breakout rooms

This paper explores how a quantitative social research design project allowed insights into digital pedagogy. Transition to group working in breakout rooms required planning to be centred on an imagined student learning experience. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA), this included understanding the dynamics by group, supporting learning in the digital space, presenting accessible materials, facilitating the learning process across multiple groups, and (re)planning teaching sessions successfully for the online milieu. Breakout rooms are dispersed digital learning spaces and were in use at a time when students were experiencing significant declines in mental health, challenges with digital exclusion, disengagement, and a lack of online confidence in peer-to-peer relationships (Peper et al., 2021; Savage et al., 2020). Addressing these key factors required a more student-centred planning approach, based on individual and group needs, in ways which were not seen within face-to-face delivery. Drawing on experiences of the potential for isolation and uncertainty for students in breakout room spaces, I reimagined the digital space in terms of material presentation, facilitating student empowerment, and communicating and managing across multiple breakout rooms concurrently. These strategies contributed towards positive student experiences, providing pedagogical insights into newer online teaching practices for GTAs.Unfunde
What does the word ‘Europe’ make you think of? Conceptualisations of Europe in a local context
No full textThe present article investigates the construction of the sense of belonging toward Europe in the public sphere, employing a case-study conducted in Italy. The author argues that different conceptualisations of Europe are related to diverse “uses” of the media, familiarity with international cultural resources and participation in the transnational public sphere and civil society. These variables affect the construction of Europeans' sense of belonging

STRANIERO E DEVIANZA IN ITALIA
No full textIl lavoro esamina la “questione immigrazione”, che ha assunto in Italia rilevanza crescente soprattutto per l’insorgere di conflittualità, provocando spesso sentimenti di insicurezza e una falsa percezione dell’immigrato come deviante, anche per effetto della rappresentazione mediatica. L’autore si propone di disegnare, attraverso i dati statistici ufficiali dal 2001, un quadro quantitativo e qualitativo dell’immigrazione irregolare e clandestina, nonché della criminalità degli stranieri, alla luce dei mutamenti delle politiche migratorie europee e italiane.This paper examines the "immigration issue", which has taken in recent years increasing importance in Italy, especially for the uprising of social conflicts, often because of the feelings of insecurity and a false perception of immigrants as deviant, partly as a outcome of media representation. The author outlines, through the analysis of official statistics since 2001, the quantitative/qualitative scenario of irregular and illegal migration and aliens' criminality according to the changes of European and Italian politics of migration control
Gemma King, Jacques Audiard, Manchester: Manchester University Press, 2021
No full textAs the director of nine feature films, author of at least two dozen screenplays, and the recipient of a Grand Prix and Palme d’Or at Cannes, multiple Césars, and a myriad of international awards, Jacques Audiard merits a book. Surprisingly, Gemma King’s is the first, in English or in French. Although her focus is on the features, from See How They Fall/Regarde les hommes tomber (1994) through The Sisters Brothers/Les frères Sisters (2018), King is concerned with Audiard’s body of work as a w..
