Inferring effective field observables from a discrete model
No full textAspin system on a lattice can usually be modeled at large scales by an effective quantum field theory. A key mathematical result relating the two descriptions is the quantum central limit theorem, which shows that certain spin observables satisfy an algebra of bosonic fields under certain conditions. Here, we show that these particular observables and conditions are the relevant ones for an observer with certain limited abilities to resolve spatial locations as well as spin values. This is shown by computing the asymptotic behaviour of a quantum Fisher information metric as function of the resolution parameters. The relevant observables characterise the state perturbations whose distinguishability does not decay too fast as a function of spatial or spin resolution.The author is grateful to Tobias Osborne for discussions leading to this work.

Science, Body, Anatomy
No full textThis programme of artists’ films invites us to reflect on the interplay of anatomy and cinema
Following from Tate Modern’s 2022 Counter Encounters series titled Several Encounters over Plants, Science, Body, Anatomy explores the intersection of film and medical technology. Curated with Sonia Epstein, from the Museum of the Moving Image, New York, the second day of our programme includes two short films by Ana Mendieta and Jyoti Mistry, as well as the premiere of Sasha Litvintseva's and Beny Wagner's feature film, My Want of You Partakes of Me.
In My Want of You Partakes of Me, Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner source snippets from different moments in history to narrate a fundamental change in perception. Through the feature, the filmmakers elucidate how the physical and perceptual boundaries of our bodies have never ceased to evolve. From the poet Dante Alighieri to a Chinese molecular biology lab, from the science fiction author Octavia Butler to the late nineteenth century French physiologist Claude Bernard, the duo of filmmakers weave a fragmented narrative exploring how self-recognition emerges from different historical models of the body
My Want of You Partakes of Me
No full textFilmmakers Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner are joined by author Elvia Wilk for a conversation about their oeuvre.
\ud
This conversation takes as its starting point Sasha Litvintseva and Beny Wagner's most recent film, My Want of You Partakes of Me. The film, which is on view as part of the exhibition at W139, is the third instalment of a trilogy. It proposes that digestion is a fundamental condition for organisms to be in the world, a process with physiological and psychological dimensions as well as spiritual and literary implications. Told through a nonlinear, multiperspectival narrative, the film presents a political poetics of incorporation. The filmmakers will engage in a close dialogue with author Elvia Wilk, who writes about corporeality, decomposition, and transformation through such diverse lenses as mediaeval mysticism, horror, and science fiction. Wilk, Litvintseva and Wagner share a deep interest in historical excavation as a means of engaging the present moment, and will expand on the many meeting points between their work across genres

No full textThe kiln described below is based on a portable sheet steel kiln designed by Beny in 1964. Improvement of quality of the final product, increased operating efficiency and reduction in firewood consumption were the reasons prompting the design. The design discussed was evolved by the author after a number of experimental prototypes were built, in order to reduce first cost and heat losses, both high with the all-steel kiln. Traditionally, a simple pit and table is used, around the shures of Lake Kyoga, for smoking fish
Ogunhiê! – La corporéité et la poétique d’Ogum dans le Terreiro de Umbanda Aldeia dos Orixás dans les approximations et les distances avec le travail de l’acteur/actrice
No full textThe contribution of cultural performances to the body preparation of the actor is a theme that has been brought up strongly in recent decades. This thesis analyzes the mediumistic trance of the sons and daughters of saint of Terreiro de Umbanda Aldeia dos Orixás in Maceió /AL. The objective is to show what the presence of these performers during the embodiement of Orixá Ogum can bring to the body preparation in the theater, and for this purpose it seeks to carry out a comparative study between what occurs in the altered state of consciousness of these mediums with the body states of actors and actresses while on stage during a theatrical show. The epistemo-methodological choice involves ethnography and self-ethnography, inasmuch as the author of the thesis is one of the mediums analyzed. In this way, interviews are conducted with sons and daughters-of-saint, priests and priestesses of Candomblé and Umbanda, in addition to Ogum Dance classes, experienced outside the trance state, in addition to filming and photographs of public rituals at the terreiro. The discussion places Fernanda Julia Barbosa (Onisajé), from NATA (Alagoinhas / BA) and Agrinez Melo do O Poste (Recife / PE) in dialogue, both stage directors who investigate Candomblé as a matrix / motive for scenic creation within their respective groups, and for this reason they are representatives of a theater produced by black and Afro-religious women in Northeast Brazil. In parallel to the reflections brought by these artists, researchers such as Leda Maria Martins, Denise Zenicola, Luiz Rufino, Muniz Sodré, Zeca Ligiéro and Armindo Bião form the basis for epistemological reflection on the scene and the characteristics of Afro-Brazilian arts. For the analysis of Ogum's performance and dance in the religious and artistic contexts, the authors Eugenio Barba and Richard Schechner are present, being considered as the proponents of concepts that will be reframed, in order to build an epistemology that embraces these local realities more immediately and consistently.La contribución de las performances culturales a la preparación corporal del actor es un tema que se ha planteado con fuerza en las últimas décadas.

El objetivo es mostrar lo que la presencia de estos intérpretes durante la incorporación de Orixá Ogum puede aportar a la preparación corporal en el teatro, y para ello se busca realizar un estudio comparativo entre lo que ocurre en el estado alterado de conciencia de estos médiums con los estados corporales. de actores y actrices en el escenario durante un espectáculo teatral. La elección epistemo-metodológica implica la etnografía y la autoetnografía, en la medida en que la autora de la tesis es una de los médiums analizados. De esta forma, se realizan entrevistas a hijos e hijas de santo, sacerdotes y sacerdotisas de Candomblé y Umbanda, además de clases de Danza Ogum, vividas fuera del estado de trance, además de filmaciones y fotografías de rituales públicos en el terreiro. La discusión pone en diálogo a Fernanda Julia Barbosa (Onisajé), de NATA (Alagoinhas/BA) y Agrinez Melo do O Poste (Recife/PE), ambas directoras de escena que investigan el Candomblé como matriz / motivo de creación escénica dentro de sus respectivos grupos, y por eso son representantes de un teatro producido por mujeres negras y afro-religiosas en el Nordeste de Brasil. Paralelamente a las reflexiones de estos artistas, investigadores como Leda Maria Martins, Denise Zenicola, Luiz Rufino, Muniz Sodré, Zeca Ligiéro y Armindo Bião forman la base de la reflexión epistemológica sobre la escena y las características de las artes afrobrasileñas.

Cette thèse analyse la transe médiumnique des fils et filles-de-saint du Terreiro de Umbanda Aldeia dos Orixás à Maceió/AL. L'objectif est de montrer ce que la présence de ces interprètes lors de l'incorporation d'Orixá Ogum peut apporter à la préparation corporelle dans le théâtre, et à cet effet il cherche à mener une étude comparative entre ce qui se passe dans l'état de conscience altéré de ces médiums avec les états corporels. d'acteurs et d'actrices sur scène lors d'un spectacle théâtral. Le choix épistémo-méthodologique implique l'ethnographie et l'auto-ethnographie, dans la mesure où l'auteur de la thèse est l'un des médiums analysés. De cette manière, des entretiens sont menés avec des fils et des filles de saint, des prêtres et des prêtresses du Candomblé et de l'Umbanda, en plus des cours de danse Ogum, expérimentés en dehors de l'état de transe, en plus des tournages et des photographies de rituels publics au terreiro. La discussion met en dialogue Fernanda Julia Barbosa (Onisajé), de NATA (Alagoinhas/BA) et Agrinez Melo do O Poste (Recife/PE), tous deux metteurs en scène qui enquêtent sur le Candomblé comme matrice / motif de création scénique au sein de leurs groupes respectifs, et pour cette raison, ils sont les représentants d'un théâtre produit par des femmes noires et afro-religieuses du nord-est du Brésil. Parallèlement aux réflexions apportées par ces artistes, des chercheurs comme Leda Maria Martins, Denise Zenicola, Luiz Rufino, Muniz Sodré, Zeca Ligiéro et Armindo Bião forment la base d'une réflexion épistémologique sur la scène et les caractéristiques des arts afro-brésiliens. Pour l'analyse de la performance et de la danse d'Ogum dans les contextes religieux et artistique, les auteurs Eugenio Barba et Richard Schechner sont présents, considérés comme les promoteurs de concepts qui seront recadrés, afin de construire une épistémologie qui embrasse ces réalités locales de manière plus immédiate et cohérente.A contribuição das performances culturais para a preparação corporal do ator é um tema que vem sendo trazido fortemente nas últimas décadas. Esta pesquisa é um estudo sobre a performance dos filhos e filhas-de-santo do Terreiro de Umbanda Aldeia dos Orixás em Maceió/AL durante a incorporação do Orixá Ogum, com o objetivo de apontar caminhos para a transformação do corpo que possam servir para desenvolver alternativas possíveis para o trabalho de atores e atrizes. Para isto, busca realizar o estudo comparativo entre o que ocorre no estado alterado de consciência desses médiuns com os estados corporais de atores e atrizes enquanto em cena durante um espetáculo teatral.
