No full textDette speciale har til formål at udforske og V I S E hvordan Performance Design og Pædagogik i samspil kan problematisere og kritisere uddannelsessystemet og dets “regelsæt”, særligt vedrørende evnen til kritisk tænkning og individuel tanke. Det kan kaldes for et manifestet produceret og udformet af en neurodivers i et system, der ville have gavn af den viden, som ikke fremkommer af reproduktionen af den nuværende tendens’ forståelse af viden, men snarere kommer udefra - eller rettere skabes af dem udenfor - selv dem, som er udenfor indeni systemet.This project intends to S H O W how Performance Design and Pedagogy can come together and fuel a critique towards the educational system and its ‘rules’, specifically concerning critical thinking and individual thought. One could call it the manifest of, what author Erin Manning would call a ‘neurodiverse’ in a system that would benefit from the knowledge that comes not from reproducing the current tendency’s understanding of knowledge, but rather comes from outside - or rather outsiders. Even the outsiders within the system, such as myself
The unfolding of climbing as a sport
No full textIn 2020 climbing competitions will be part of the Olympic programme in Tokyo. This marks the end of a journey where climbing has developed from a recreative activity practiced in nature to a competitive activity played as a game on artificial climbing walls. It has become a sport. Never the less it seems like climbing differs from other kinds of sports in the way that it unfolds in competitions. It goes without saying that climbing competitions have their unique qualities. This thesis, however, argues that the spectator’s fascination of climbing competitions doesn’t fully correspond to the allure of sport - with a big crowd - in general. As such, climbing might have an unresolved potential when unfolding as a sport.From a theoretical and philosophical point of view this thesis assesses what sport is really about and how it becomes an attraction to a spectator. At the same time, it examines how climbing competitions correspond to this philosophical understanding of sport and the theoretical explanation of the allure of sport. The investigation of climbing unfolding as a sport is done by using an auto-ethnographic method where the author participates at two Danish climbing competitions as a spectator. Furthermore, the thesis is based on journals through which the competitors could document their experience of competing. Finally, the authors reflection of the subject is based on 20 years of experience in the field of climbing. The thesis is organized as four ”layers” representing 1) a definition of sport, 2) an aesthetic view on sport, 3) the immersion in sport, and 4) the role of the spectator. Based on a non-representational point of view, the theoretical and philosophical standpoints used in the thesis are represented by Verner Møller, on the one side, and his search for an essence of sport which he believes is based on an inner spirit with an aesthetic value. In contrast, on the other side, the thesis draws on Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht’s notion of the eventness of the sports performance as a ”production of presence”. Following the main hypothesis, the thesis concludes, that sport in general becomes an attraction to a spectator as the crowd produce an atmosphere in which the spectator becomes immersed. This kind of immersion could be explained as a combination of cognitive and sensory element, representation and non-representation, or a meaning and presence dimension but the immersion of sport is first and foremost based on a sensory, non-representational presence dimension. Non the less this thesis propose that it most of all is a lack of the cognitive elements that prevent the experience of full immersion in climbing competitions. Surprisingly, the sound produced by the crowd seems to have a huge impact on the immersion. This is interesting taking climbing competitions in consideration, as they are mostly defined by their tranquil unfocused crowd. At last it seems that what is needed to fully enjoy sport as a spectator, is to take the sport event seriously, to be enthusiastic, and to “invest” your feelings as a spectator, factors that hasn´t fully made an appearance in Denmark when climbing unfolds as a sport. <br/
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
