Nykytaide dialogin edistäjänä: teoskuvapankin rakentuminen kansainvälisessä hankkeessa
No full textTutkin pro gradu -tutkielmassani kansainväliseen Comenius-ohjelmaan kuuluvan Creative Connections -hankkeen puitteissa koottua teoskuvapankkia. Tutkimukseni painopiste on teoskuvapankin rakentumisen prosessissa. Creative Connections - hankkeen pyrkimyksenä on tutkia ja kehittää keinoja eurooppalaisten kansojen välisen ymmärryksen lisäämiseksi lasten ja nuorten keskuudessa. Toimintatutkimuksena toteutettavan hankkeen keskiössä on mukana olevien koulujen oppilaiden käsitykset paikallisista, kansallisista ja eurooppalaisista identiteeteistä ja niiden suhteista.
Tutkimukseni kiinnittyy taidekasvatukseen ja erityisesti nykytaiteen pedagogiikkaan. Pro gradu -tutkielmani tutkimusmateriaalin kerääminen tapahtui toimintatutkimuksena huhti–lokakuussa 2012. Tutkielmassani keskityn avaamaan teoskuvapankin valintaprosessia kokonaisuudessaan sekä tuon osan teoskuvista tarkempaan analyysiin havainnollistaakseni valintaprosessia ikonografisen kuva-analyysin kautta.
Tutkimukseeni liittyviä tärkeitä käsitteitä ovat nykytaide, kansallinen ja eurooppalainen identiteetti. Lisäksi olen tarkastellut teoskuvapankin rakentumista suhteessa opetussuunnitelmasta nouseviin lähtökohtiin, erityisesti nuoren oman kulttuuriidentiteetin tukemiseen, aktiiviseen osallistumiseen, oman ympäristön hahmottamiseen ja kehittämiseen sekä toimimiseen monikulttuurisessa yhteisössä.
Valmista teoskuvapankkia voidaan lähestyä eri oppikokonaisuuksina, jotka muodostuvat taiteen eri roolien kautta. Teoskuvapankki on jaettu kategorioihin A-E. A. kategoriassa lähestytään oppilaan henkilökohtaisen kasvun ulottuvuuksia kartoittamalla identiteetin eri puolia ja B. kategoriassa mitä kuuluu ympäröivään kulttuuriin. C. kategorian kautta oppilaita voidaan aktivoida toimimaan reporttereina, jotka kiinnittävät huomiota kulttuuriseen ympäristöön. D. kategoriassa kulttuuri toimii oppaana, joka opastaa näkemään asioita eri tavoin. E. Kategoriassa aktivismi on ohjaavana kulttuurisena tekijänä voidaan oppilaita rohkaista osallistumaan ja toimimaan omassa ympäristössään.
Teoskuvapankki toimii tässä hankkeessa nykytaiteen tarkastelumallina, joka mahdollistaa yhteisöllisen toiminnan ja dialogin monikulttuurisessa ympäristössä. Oppilaat eri maissa tekevät omia töitä teoskuvapankin pohjalta ja vuorovaikutus tapahtuu blogin välityksellä hankkeen sivustolla. Teoskuvapankki tarjoaa eri taiteen lähestymistapojen kautta näkökulmia opettajille kansallisen identiteetin ja monikulttuurisuuden teemojen käsittelyyn opetustyössä.In my Pro Gradu Thesis, I researched the image bank which was created for the international Comenius Creative Connections research project. My research focus was the process of constructing the image bank. The Creative Connections project’s aim was to explore and develop ways of increasing understanding of European identity among children and young people.
The core of the action research project is the participating schools’ students’ perceptions of local, national and European identities and their relationships. My research engages art education, particularly contemporary art pedagogy. My master’s thesis research material was collected through action research between April and October 2012. In my research I focused on explaining the image bank selection process as a whole and illustrating the image selection through iconological analysis.
Important concepts related to this study are contemporary art, national and European identity. In addition, I have reviewed the construction process of the image bank through emerging principles in curriculum, in particular supporting young people’s own cultural identity, active participation of their own perception of the environment and development and working in a multicultural community.
The finished image bank can be approached as different learning entities formed through the various roles of art. The image bank has been divided into categories A-E. The A category approaches the dimensions of the students personal growth by identifying different aspects of identity, and the B category approaches identity from the surrounding culture. The C category activates students to act as reporters who pay attention to the cultural environment. In the D category, culture serves as a guide for seeing things in different ways. In the E category, activism is the guiding factor for encouraging students to participate and act in their own environment.
In this project, the image bank works as a model for analysis of contemporary art, which allows for collaborative activities and dialogue in a multicultural environment. Students from different countries are making their own work based on the image bank and interaction among them takes place on the project’s blog site. The image bank offers various approaches to art so that teachers can deal with the themes of national identity and multiculturalism from different perspectives
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
