Acting Out:Cuban Artists Challenge to the State
No full textFive of the videos in Coco Fusco’s exhibition Tomorrow, I Will Become an Island at KW were filmed in Cuba, where the artist has collaborated with local artists on a range of projects for over thirty years. The videos explore the fraught relationship between civic engagement and the Cuban state. Coco Fusco will be joined by Cuban artist and former political prisoner Hamlet Lavastida, and Cuban poet and essayist Antonio José Ponte for a discussion about Fusco’s work and the current state of artistic activism in relation to cultural politics in Cuba today. Hamlet Lavastida is a Cuban artist, based in Berlin. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts San Alejandro and the University of the Arts (ISA) in Havana. Lavastida reinterprets the role of Cuban political rhetoric and iconography in public culture. He focuses on the ways that Cuban propaganda shapes and distorts history. He explores the visualization of state ideology in his videos, collages, drawings, and public art. Lavastida’s work has been shown at Documenta 15 (Kassel, Germany); Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid); Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin); Center of Contemporary Art Łaźnia (Gdańsk) and Center of Contemporary Art, Zamek Ujazdowski (Warsaw).

Die Videos thematisieren das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen zivilem Engagement und dem kubanischen Staat. Mit Coco Fusco diskutieren der kubanische Künstler und ehemalige politische Gefangene Hamlet Lavastida und der kubanische Dichter und Essayist Antonio José Ponte über ihr Werk und den aktuellen Stand des künstlerischen Aktivismus in Bezug auf die Kulturpolitik in Kuba heute. Hamlet Lavastida ist ein kubanischer Künstler, der in Berlin wohnt. Er studierte Malerei an der Akademie der Künste San Alejandro und der Universität der Künste (ISA) in Havanna. Lavastida interpretiert die Rolle der politischen Rhetorik und Ikonographie in der öffentlichen Kultur Kubas neu. Er konzentriert sich auf die Art und Weise, wie die kubanische Propaganda die Geschichte prägt und verzerrt. Anhand seiner Videos, Collagen, Zeichnungen und seiner Kunst im öffentlichen Raum erforscht er die Visualisierung staatlicher Ideologie. Lavastidas Arbeiten wurden auf der Documenta 15 (Kassel, Deutschland) gezeigt, im Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía (Madrid), im Künstlerhaus Bethanien (Berlin), im Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst Łaźnia (Danzig) und im Zentrum für zeitgenössische Kunst, Zamek Ujazdowski (Warschau).

Crowdsourcing to co-design meaningful social change
No full textOld Town Bari is the center of Bari City and the main city of Apulia region, in the southeast of Italy. For ages, it was a place neglected to its own community due to the high criminality level. This study follows a social innovation initiative launched by a young Bari collective to leverage education using crowdsourcing knowledge, in order to better understand how to develop crowdsourcing for effective social innovation.
To address this research question, the author conducted action research on a 12 days workshop, organized by the collective, in the Old Town of Bari. The workshop aimed to create a School Open Source with the help of the crowd, which was engaged on promoting and co-creating the social initiative. Furthermore the researcher collected and analyzed the online discussions, paths and topics from the days of the workshop to the opening of the School.
The study reveals how crowdsourcing acted as an opportunity to build a new community which revitalized the local social environment. The author also found that design processes played a major role on the community creation and instructed new governance models. Additionally, digital communications built a network, which is able to generate and regenerate the local socio-economical fabric and connect it with the rest of the world. These results indicate a first step towards a proposal for an open innovation model for social innovation which combines online crowd engagement with offline activities and where design processes nurture the sense of belonging between community and territory
An Analysis of Speech Act in the Animation Movie: Coco
No full textLinguistic aspects are very important in English. When linguistics became a linguistic science, people studied it in several branches of linguistics, including phonetics, phonology, morphology, semantics, sociolinguistics, and Practical. Speech act is one of the important components of pragmatics because speech act is a branch of pragmatics, related to all types of utterances made by speakers and its meaning depends on the point of view of the speaker. speaker and interlocutor. Speech acts are divided into three types: speech, speech, and speech. As technology advances, more media can support the learning process making it more enjoyable. Like learning by reading novels, watching movies and even listening to songs. This search is an analytical speech act introduced by Searle in Cartoons: Coco. The problem of this research is: what types of speech acts are proposed by the main characters in cartoons: Coco and what is the most dominant speech act among the main characters in cartoons: Coco. This study employed a descriptive qualitative methodology. With the qualitative descriptive method, information is gathered via the use of words and images rather than figures. Interviews, field notes, photos, videotapes, private documents, notes or memos, and other documents can all provide data. The author of this research does a case study, provides a basic description, and goes over the language. Because the study's focus is on natural events or symptoms, the author employs this kind of qualitative research in it. The author of this paper will examine Coco, the cartoon's primary character, through an analysis of her verbal acts. Results of the study is: to explore the type of speech act that the main character proposes in the cartoon: Coco and to find out which speech act is most dominant among the main characters in an animated film: Coco. In this study, the author only focuses on studying one type of linguistic behavior, which is linguistic behavior
The Effect of Morphometry, Land-Use and Lithology on Landslides Susceptibility: An Exploratory Analysis
No full textGIS features provide simple and useful tools for landslides susceptibility and hazard studies, allowing the identification and the quantification of predisposing factors, and their relative importance. In lithologically homogeneous areas, the most influent factor of landslides is slope morphometry, in particular inclination, height and form. Moreover, within a hydrographic basin, landslides are coupled with drainage network. In fact landslides density and drainage density are positively correlated. Furthermore, human activity strongly influences the development of landslides. In our previous works, we introduced MSI (Morphometric Slope Index) as general index for slope morphometry, combining the main linear and areal morphometric features (area, form, length, inclination, width). Its formula is: MSI=A3D/A2D·L·Rc (where A3D is the three-dimensional area of the slope, A2D is its plan area, L is the slope length and Rc is the circularity ratio). We tested MSI as driver of different erosion landforms, demonstrating its influence in determining, on the one hand, the development and the final arrangement of calanchi drainage network (the typical Italian badlands), and, on the other hand, the erosion processes within them, mainly gullies and landslides. The present study is an exploratory application of this index to landslides susceptibility, aimed to analyze the combined effect of slope morphometry (summarized in MSI), lithology and land-use on the distribution of landslides in small catchments. The study is located in the Italian periadriatic foredeep, in the Abruzzo Region. This study has reinforced our perspective about the validity of the application of the techniques of geomorphometric analysis to the landslides susceptibility. Especially we consider this approach an efficient tool to summarize different controlling factors
Resultaten van de CoCo-module "Groeien planten beter met chilisalpeter" bij 4 havo leerlingen
No full textHet ministerie van OC&W heeft het doel gesteld om de bèta en technische opleidingen aantrekkelijker te maken, door o.m. het huidige scheikunde curriculum te actualiseren. In dit beschrijvende, kwalitatieve onderzoek stellen we de onderzoeksvraag of de context-en-conceptbenadering (CoCo-benadering), die gehanteerd gaat worden bij het nieuwe scheikunde curriculum, een oplossing is voor drie pijnpunten, die geconstateerd zijn bij het huidige scheikunde curriculum. Dit onderzoek is gericht op de leerervaringen, die een groep 4 havo leerlingen opgedaan heeft tijdens doorlopen van een aangepaste versie van de CoCo-module, genaamd “groeien planten beter met chilisalpeter”. Conceptmaps, leerzinnen en de resultaten van een cognitieve toets zijn hierbij gehanteerd als onderzoeksinstrument. Uit de beantwoording van de deelvragen, van de onderzoeksvraag, is geconcludeerd dat de CoCo-benadering een goede start is voor het adresseren van de pijnpunten van het huidige scheikunde curriculum. Oefenen met de de- en recontextualisatie van de concepten in de les en tijdens cognitieve toetsen is noodzakelijk. Het is ook evident dat de docent expliciete, continue aandacht aan de leerlingen moet schenken om de koppelingen tussen de contexten en de concepten te leggen.Science EducationScience Education and CommunicationApplied Science

ABSTRACT
This thesis is a comprehensive study of the figure of Emilio Coco and his work to extend knowledge about Spanish and Latin American contemporary poetry in Italy and vice versa. Its main objective is to highlight the key role of this renowned Spanish studies scholar, who with his studies, translations and poems, has overcome the divide between these three literary traditions, facilitating mutual enrichment and the strengthening of cultural relations between them. In the first chapter, we present our author through a brief bio-bibliographical note and a personal interview, where we address his three facets as translator, editor and poet. Next we present the five main chapters of this thesis where a study of each of these facets is carried out; first we present his views on the art of translation, a selection of translated poems and their authors considered within a brief overview of poetry from the 60s to the present day. A chronological classification and brief revision of the anthologies, books and magazines that published his translations are also included. To account for his facet as editor, the collections of poetry he edited are considered, and finally an analysis of his poetic production is presented, accompanied by a sample of his poems and a reflection upon the impact and influence they had in Italian and foreign journals
My No.1 - for timeless women naistenvaatemallisto syksy-talvi 2013-2014 Coco Chanelin innoittamana
No full textTyön aiheena on Coco Chaneliin pohjautuvan käyntikorttimalliston suunnittelu. Mallisto on naistenvaatemallisto syksy – talvi 2013-2014 ja se sisältää 15 vaatekappaletta. Suunnittelija haluaa malliston olevan työelämä- ja tulevaisuuslähtöinen, joten suunniteltavan malliston tarkoitus on tulevaisuudessa toimia suunnittelijalle käyntikorttina työnhakutilanteessa. Mallistolla pyritään syventämään suunnittelijan taitoja ja vahvistamaan suunnittelijaidentiteettiä.
Työ sisältää tutkimusosuuden, jossa perehdytään Coco Chanelin elämään suunnittelijana. Tekijä vertailee tutkimusosuuden lisäksi itseään ja Chanelia toisiinsa suunnittelijoina Papanekin funktioanalyysin avulla ja tekee sen perustella yhteenvedon heidän yhtäläisyyksistään ja epäyhtäläisyyksistä. Työn tutkimuksellista osuutta tukee Pirkko Anttilan kriittisrealistinen evaluaatio malli, joka kuvastaa luovan projektin etenemistä.
Työn lopullisia tuloksia ovat valmis mallistokokonaisuus, joka tulee toimimaan suunnittelijalle esittelymateriaalina, neljä toteutettua tuotetta suunnitellusta mallistosta sekä kirjallinen tutkimusosuus Coco Chanelista.
Suunnittelija analysoi työn tuloksia SWOT-analyysin avulla ja hän toivoo saavansa asiantuntijapalautetta Stockmannin muodin studion designer managerilta, nykyiseltä työnantajalta, Luisa Laineelta, suunnittelija Milla Terholta sekä brändimanageri Kathleen Hyytiseltä, jota hän tarkastelee työn kannalta. Työn tekijä pohtii työtä kokonaisuudessaan asiantuntijapalautteen lisäksi myös omasta näkökulmastaan ja kertoo pohdinnassa omat ajatuksensa lopullisesta työstä.The subject of the thesis was to design a collection based on Coco Chanel.

Des vocations en échec ? Le destin de l’écrivain et de la littérature dans Un coco de génie de Louis Dumur
No full textThe article presents the profile of Louis Dumur, a French writer of Swiss origin, one of the founders and indefatigable editor of new Mercure de France. Although Dumur was an average poet and playwright and author of nationalist texts, he wrote a novel Un coco de génie (1902), in which he addresses the issue of the writer’s vocation and the mission of literature. The story of a seedman’s son, who suddenly discovers his literary talent and faces reluctance from the uncultivated local community, is a satire on the petty bourgeoisie society. It is all the more virulent because the young creator turns out to be a somnambulist who recreates masterpieces of world literature. This unconscious rewriting leads the first-person narrator of the novel to reflect on the process of creating itself. Thus Dumur anticipates the appearance of the concept of intertextuality and the text being a mosaic of quotations
Eksplorasi Material Nata De Coco Sebagai Material Pada Upper Sepatu Lari Untuk Mendukung Gerakan Ramah Lingkungan
No full textIndonesia merupakan negara produsen kelapa terbesar kedua di dunia, dan salah satu produk yang dihasilkan adalah nata de coco. Sayangnya, pemanfaatan nata de coco hingga saat ini masih belum optimal, terutama dalam penggunaannya di sektor non-pangan.. Fenomena limbah produk bukan lagi hal yang biasa, salah satunya ada pada bidang tekstil. Indonesia memproduksi sebanyak 33 Juta ton tekstil dan sekitar 1 juta ton menjadi sampah. Salah satu produk yang menggunakan tekstil tersebut adalah produk sepatu. Nata de coco merupakan makanan hasil fermentasi air kelapa dengan bantuan Acetobacter xylinum yang akan membentuk anyaman serat selulosa dalam medium air kelapa. Secara struktural, selulosa ini mirip dengan selulosa dari tanaman yang sudah digunakan untuk produksi tekstil. Oleh karena itu, penulis bertujuan untuk memaksimalkan potensi penggunaan bahan nata de coco sebagai tekstil yang akan digunakan pada sepatu lari dan juga diharapkan dapat membantu dalam proses pengembangan material berbahan nata de coco.
====================================================================================================================================
Indonesia is the second largest coconut producing country in the world, and one of the products produced is nata de coco. However, unfortunately the use of nata de coco is still not optimal. Especially its use in the non-food sector. The phenomenon of product waste is no longer an ordinary thing, one of which is in the textile sector. Indonesia produces 33 million tons of textiles and around 1 million tons become waste. One product that uses these textiles is shoe products. Nata de coco is a food produced by fermenting coconut water with the help of Acetobacter xylinum which forms woven cellulose fibers in the coconut water medium. Structurally, this cellulose is similar to cellulose from plants which is used for textile production. Therefore, the author aims to maximize the potential for using nata de coco material as a textile to be used in running shoes and is also expected to help in the process of developing materials made from nata de coco
The Potential of Indigenous knowledge for Rio Coco Geopark Geotourism
No full textAbstractThe contribution deals with the potential of indigenous knowledge for the geotourism sustainability of the aspiring Rio Coco Geopark (Nicaragua). This indigenous knowledge includes traditional, orally transmitted wisdom, skills and lifestyle of indigenous people built on their intensive linkage to nature and verified by time. The article focuses on the analysis of potential of integration of this traditional know-how passed from generation to generation and as well as other elements of collective memory into the philosophy, management and products of the emerging geotourism destination of Rio Coco Geopark. Author presumes that the integration of local indigenous knowledge into the geotourism developed by Rio Coco Geopark has potential to increase the sustainability level of this geotourism.To analyse this presumption, the local indigenous people – Chorotegas were inquired. The research of these native people was conducted in all four municipalities of Rio Coco Geopark recognized as indigenous and it employed methods of participant observation, photo-documentation, focal group discussions, life history narratives and local informants (indigenous leaders, healers, midwifes etc.) interviewing. The main potential was found in the system of values related to nature (e.g. respect for Mother Earth as a life giving entity) and related natural resources management, the systematic involvement of seniors into the top management, using cosmology and natural cycles into the local agriculture and medicine, using the traditional knowledge in processing of local crops and natural raw materials as well as keeping and transmission of many interesting indigenous legends and rites connected to the local geological heritage and other elements of local nature.Findings of the research indicate that the sensible and gradual fusion of the modern science knowledge with the traditional indigenous knowledge can essentially assist with optimization of the environmental, socio-cultural and economic tourism impacts. It could be assumed that it pays not only for the aspiring Rio Coco Geopark but also for other destinations with important geological heritage and related fragile natural and cultural heritage
