From tramway-line to park – mapping the process of an urban transformation
No full textAim of the research is to analyse the different dynamics which put into effect the transformation process of an abandoned green linear space into an urban park in the city of Turin, Italy. The Precollinear Park has been developed by a non-profit organisation in a portion of a former tramway line area exactly positioned in the in-between belt dividing two different administrative districts. Therefore, a normative and physical vacancy opened the possibility for the organisation to tempo- rarily take the management of the area, making the project being rec- ognised through the institution of a public-private partnership. The project has been carried out by a private intervention, initiated by a non-profit actor, which has been using the operational and financial support of the local community, both public and private.
On the review of this specific process, the paper examines the con- tinuous aggregations, variations and deviations which made the pro- ject happen by presenting the different human and non-human actors which took part in it, highlighting the combination among different elements and their effects.
What this case study shows can be considered as twofold: from one hand, it depicts the diagrammatic course of the different actions which made the project possible, and investigates its peculiar process; from the other, it questions the role of non-institutionalised neither profes- sional actors, which without any official elective nor technical-admin- istrative mandate, manage to intervene in urban spaces and transform the city. Ethnographic methods applied to the study of architectural projects help fostering the conversation about the externalisation of public services to private actors in cities urban developments and the role a topic like city branding may have in this
Replication Data for: Attending multiple languages: the relation between individual multilingual language use and attentional control
No full textIndividuals speaking multiple language have been asserted to have a cognitive advantage, perhaps specifically in the domain of selective attention, although this claim has recently been challenged. The diversity of multilingual experiences and use seems of great importance here, and suggestions have been made that advantages especially emerge for individuals with higher ‘multilingual load’, referring to language experience and use factors including duration of multilingualism, number of languages mastered, and use of multiple languages in daily life. We captured multilingual language diversity using a language entropy measure, which encompasses several language use factors into one metric. We related individual differences in language entropy to selective attention as measured with an attentional blink (AB) task in 53 diverse multilingual individuals. During task performance, brain activity in the lateral prefrontal cortex was measured using fNIRS. We found no support for the claim that language diversity, or other individual factors related to language experience and use, influence AB magnitude. However, relations with T1 identification accuracy were observed and brain activity in the DLPFC during the attentional blink task also related to higher language diversity, jointly suggesting that language diversity may promote alertness and attention. This study is the first to relate simultaneous behavioral and brain attentional blink data to the language entropy measure. This is a dataset of 55 multilingual students, all of whom were enrolled in the English track of the psychology undergraduate degree program of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. The dataset contains demographic information, and data on language use, experience, background and self-rated proficiency (assessed using a slightly modified version of the German LEAP-Q). Furthermore, there is data on language switching behavior, assessed using the Bilingual Switching Questionnaire. In addition to the self-reported language proficiency collected by means of the LEAP-Q questionnaires, objective language proficiency was assessed using the LexTALE language proficiency test. Participants have performed an attentional blink (AB) task as a measure of selective attention. In addition to questionnaire and task data, brain activity during performance of the AB task was measured using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS). fNIRS is a non-invasive technique that measures the level of oxygenated- and de-oxygenated hemoglobin in the cerebral blood flow
The creative industries: An entrepreneurial bricolage perspective
No full textPurpose – The idea of “creating something from nothing” resonates strongly with the creation process associated with artists. The Levi-Strauss and Baker and Nelson discussions also refer to entrepreneurial bricolage as something that entails a “make do with what is at hand”. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how artists utilise bricolage to create projects and develop their skills. Little is known of their perceptions of entrepreneurial behaviour and bricolage, and how they construct these bricolage networks. The tension between sharing, creating and to maintain a personal brand is negotiated by leveraging these bricolage relationships. Design/methodology/approach – In-depth interviews with artists that actively make a living from their involvement in the creative industries were conducted. This provided insight into their perceptions on networking and bricolage. Since networking is such an individual and interchangeable process the interviews allowed the author to unravel these complexities of the relationships. Findings – The findings produced two themes. The first, demonstrated the entrepreneurial behaviour of these artists and their unique contributions. The second theme involved the bricolage relationships formed to overcome resource constraints. The collaborative nature highlighted the co-creation relationships that are strategically formed to provide long-term opportunities and sustained working relationships. Research limitations/implications – This study contributes to literature on bricolage, management, creative industries and entrepreneurship in non-traditional settings. Practical implications – This study contributes to theory on bricolage and entrepreneurial behaviour in small enterprises and creative industries. Artists can benefit from the knowledge to build strategic networks to secure future work. Social implications – Educators can use this information to prepare aspiring artists to create more independent and/or interdependent entrepreneurial projects. Originality/value – This work encourages further cross-disciplinary research on the arts, entrepreneurship, networking and small business studies. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited
Annotated translation: Pferde: Unsere edlen Freunde. (BRIXNER, Saskia. Köln: VEMAG Verlags- und Medien Aktiengesellschaft, 1995. s. 143-163.)
No full textThis thesis consists of two parts. The first one is a translation of a coherent chapter from the book of a German author Saskia Brixner Pferde: Unsere edlen Freunde. The aim is to create a functionally equivalent translation which corresponds with the intention of the author and with the expectations of readers. The subsequent commentary includes a translation analysis of the source text based on the model of German translatologist Christiane Nord, a description of translation method and procedures, a typology of translation problems and a typology of translation shifts which occur during the production of the translation
