Introduzione ad AWDA 2
No full textIl progetto di AWDA, Aiap Women in Design Award, ha una storia lunga e radici profonde, nasce nel 2009 da un’idea di Laura Moretti, si configura nel 2012 come Premio biennale a cura di Cinzia Ferrara, Daniela Piscitelli e Laura Moretti, diventa nel 2015 internazionale e si prepara ad assumere una dimensione mondiale con la terza edizione del 2017 includendo nella curatela anche Carla Palladino. L’intento del progetto, che affronta un tema importante e ancora poco indagato come quello del design della comunicazione visiva declinato al femminile, non è quello di esaminare un’area protetta, o ricercare peculiarità che caratterizzano una metodologia di progetto al femminile, quanto quello di attraversare un territorio scoprendone le diversità in ogni lembo, date da profonde differenze che derivano dalle diversità di provenienze geografiche, formazioni, committenze pubbliche e private, tessuti sociali nei quali le designer vivono e lavorano.AWDA, Aiap Women in Design Award, has a long history and deep roots: in 2009 it was only Laura Moretti’s idea, in 2012 it took shape as a biennial Award curated by Cinzia Ferrara, Daniela Piscitelli and Laura Moretti, in 2015 it became international – the first step towards the worldwide dimension it would achieve in its third edition, 2017, when Carla Palladino joined the team of curators. The aim of the project, which tackles the important, though still under-explored theme of visual communication design from the perspective of women, is not to examine a protected area, or to search for peculiarities characterising women’s design methodology, but rather to travel across a territory, trying to discover its diversity at every step, by identifying a number of differences resulting from different geographical and educational backgrounds, private or public clients, social contexts in which the designers live and work

Mindscapes: Laura Riding's poetry and poetics /
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Esta tese propõe uma leitura revisionista da poesia contemporânea através do exame do caso de um dos mais esquecidos escritores norte-americanos do século XX: Laura (Riding) Jackson (1901-1991). O objetivo é demonstrar que Riding não apenas possuía uma poética definida e singular, mas que ela permanece uma das instâncias mais extremas e paradoxais do modernismo anglo-americano, a ponto de Riding abandonar a escrita da poesia em 1938. Recorrendo a conceitos de "formação do cânone" bem como às noções de "discurso" e "função do autor", em Foucault, investigo a construção do cânone da poesia moderna anglo-americana, recuperando o contexto e as circunstâncias da ocultação de Riding. Enquanto cubro os "discursos" poéticos em circulação na primeira metade do século XX-o "imagismo" de Pound, a "dissociação da sensibilidade", "impersonalidade" e "tradição" de Eliot, a "unidade orgância" e "ambigüidade" da Nova Crítica-ofereço um panorama crítico de modernismos alternativos sendo articulados à época. Minha intenção é demonstrar que os poemas de Riding são expressões vigorosas de um escritor para quem "a mente pensando se torna a força ativa do poema", para usar a apta formulação de Charles Bernstein. Entre minhas descobertas sobre as várias e complexas razões que levaram à não-canonização de Riding estão a hegemonia da Nova Crítica, o exílio voluntário de Riding da cena literária (onde são feitas ou desfeitas as reputações), sua recusa em ser antologiada, bem como em ser explicada em termos críticos que não os dela. Todos esses fatores, mais a "dificuldade" de sua poesia, contribuíram para fazer de Riding "a maior poeta esquecida da poesia norte-americana", como escreveu Kenneth Rexroth. Ajudado pelos insights de dois importantes críticos de poesia norte-americana, Charles Bernstein e Marjorie Perloff, defendo que a "poesia da mente" de Riding-onde o que está em jogo é que o que pensamos ser a nossa realidade-representa uma mudança radical no paradigma da poética modernista: de uma poesia centrada na imagem para uma poesia centrada na linguagem. Focalizando a experiência consciente e o tempo duracional do pensamento presente em seus poemas, concluo que as "pensagens" de Riding têm o objetivo preciso de constatar um fato universal: enquanto seres humanos e pensantes, estamos numa condição permanente chamada linguagem

Heritage tourism: a case study of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Heritage Site at Pepin, Wisconsin
No full textPlan BMany things must be taken into consideration when developing a heritage tourism site. It can be a wonderful opportunity for the community involved to benefit economically and historically. Heritage tourism can keep alive the heritage and traditions of the communities past. When it is discovered that a heritage site exists, the first step is to consult with the community. A site will not succeed without the acceptance and assistance from the community involved. Once the interest is known, the development process can proceed. After determining that there is a heritage tourism site possibility in their area, a commumity must do research to determine the feasibility of the site, what will make it a success, and how to obtain that success. This study will examine a community with a heritage tourism site that has been successful in developing and maintaining it's site. By conducting this study, other communities seeking information for developing their site will have an example and tool to work with. The site chosen for this study is the Laura Ingalls Wilder site in Pepin, Wisconsin. The town is rich with it's heritage associated with Laura Ingalls Wilder. The development and success for this town will be documented through this study. Laura Ingails Wilder is a perfect choice for examining heritage tourism. The author of many American Pioneer books, she has become famous all over the world. In turn all places that she or her family members lived are or are becoming heritage tourism sites. There are older ones that have been in progress for some years, such as the one in Pepin, and there are ones that are being discovered through the popularity of new books written about Laura's family. These communities would benefi greatly from the information this study will produce. Without the bene-fit of this knowledge communities who are unaccustomed to tourism or the way the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites operate, may make terrible errors in development, tarnishing the site. This may also reflect badly on the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites. It is important for new Wilder sites to examine all information and know exactly what they are doing when developing the site. If all the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites can benefit from each other's knowledge and experience it will greatly increase the market for all sites. The more detailed and expansive the sites are about their knowledge and sites to see, the more people are going to want to travel to as many sites as possible, learning all they can about the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family. These sites not only attract Laura Ingalls Wilder fans but all people that are interested in the American Pioneer period of the United States history. This study will provide the knowledge for communities who are developing heritage tourism sites, especially those focusing on Laura Ingalls Wilder. This is a very important study for tourism and especially heritage tourism. When a heritage site is discovered communities run into the barrier of not having the experience and knowledge to develop the site properly. This study will analyze tourism in Pepin, Wisconsin to determine it's successfulness due to the fact that it is a Laura Ingalls Wilder heritage tourism site, and Wfit was developed in a way to provide tourists with a view of Laura Ingalls Wilder's past and the past of many Pioneer Americans. By studying this subject it will allow for many people to benefit. Tourist who are seeking the pleasure of the knowledge of the past, and communities who want to preserve their past and profit from tourism

AWDA Aiap Women in Design Award
No full textAiap Women in Design Award è un progetto ambizioso che prosegue una linea di ricerca, da molti anni avviata, rivolta a indagare le diverse espressioni del progetto grafico, attenta a ricostruire quei frammenti che raccontano la storia continua, passata e presente del design della comunicazione visiva, nel tentativo ininterrotto di non soffermarsi su aspetti isolati ma di ricomporre quei contesti socio-economici in cui le designer lavorano e costruiscono i loro linguaggi espressivi,
per tradurre attraverso il progetto, invisibili contenuti in materia di comunicazione visiva.Aiap Women in Design Award is an ambitious project which develops a line of research that was started several years ago with the aim of investigating the various expressions of graphic design, by reconstructing those fragments that tell the uninterrupted, past and present history of visual communication design.
The idea is to avoid focusing on isolated aspects, but rather to reconstruct those socio-economic contexts in which women designers work and develop their expressive languages to translate invisible contents into visual communication through their design
