No full textFinal Death of the Author: Creativity in the Age of Information Society
No full textPretpostavimo da je kreativnost rezultat unutarnjeg dijaloga kreativnog pojedinca (autora) iz kojega nastaje nova informacija. No kako onda razumjeti kreativnost danas, kada je naša individualna svijest proširena elektronskim medijima i telemetrijski uključena u “globalni mozak”? Sveprisutnost informacijske i komunikacijske tehnologije omogućuje nam da stvaramo nove informacije brže negoli ikad prije i pohranjujemo ih u forme umjetne memorije, u koje može svatko ući. S obzirom na to čini se da je pojam autorstva prevladan, a unutarnji dijalog zamijenjen intersubjektivnim dijalogom. Držeći se teorije medija Viléma Flussera i Marshalla McLuhana, problematiziram novu paradigmu kreativnosti kakva se razvija u dobu informacijske tehnologije.If we assume that creativity is a result of the inner dialogue of creative individual (author), during which he creates an improbable combination of elements (i.e. new information), how can we comprehend creativity today, after we technologically extended our individual consciousness and connected it into a “global brain” via telematics? Prevalence of information and communications technology enables us to create more new information than ever, and allows us to store it in artificial memory, where it could be reused by almost anyone. In the age of ICT, author seems to be superfluous and the inner dialogue has been replaced by interpersonal dialogue. Taken into consideration Vilém Flusser’s and Marshall McLuhan’s theory of media, I will try to problematize new paradigm of creativity, as it is disclosing in information society

The politics of goodness
No full textMonika Świerkosz writes of the play The Triumph of the Will by Monika Strzępka, based on a script by Paweł Demirski (Stary Theatre in Krakow, premiere: 31.12.2016). The author compares the performance with the duo’s previous works. She analyzes the various characters, passengers of an airplane that has crashed on a desert island. The survivors break into groups: some of them tell optimistic stories, trying to shake up those who are plunged in sadness. Świerkosz believes that the artists are putting forward a vision of the political based on an "instinctive emotional ethic of compassion." She praises the production for its humor and energy

No full textThis is a PSYNDEX Tests Review of c.I.-SKALA - Cerebrale Insuffizienz-Skala. PSYNDEX Tests Reviews are written in German and describe and evaluate psychological and educational tests used in the German-speaking countries. PSYNDEX Tests is offered by the Leibniz Institute for Psychology as open access documentation.Das ist ein PSYNDEX Tests Review zu c.I.-SKALA - Cerebrale Insuffizienz-Skala. PSYNDEX Tests Reviews beschreiben und bewerten zentrale psychologische und pädagogische Testverfahren, die in den deutschsprachigen Ländern eingesetzt werden, nach einem standardisierten Raster. PSYNDEX Tests wird durch das Leibniz-Institut für Psychologie als Open Access Dokumentation angeboten.Diagnostische Zielsetzung: Die c.I.-Skala ist ein Instrument zur Objektivierung leichter cerebraler Insuffizienzen, das bei Verdacht auf Vorliegen eines organischen Psychosyndroms zur Bestaetigung der Verdachtsdiagnose dient. Es soll zu einem moeglichst fruehzeitigem Erkennen einer cerebralen Insuffizienz beitragen. Aufbau: Das Verfahren beinhaltet insgesamt 38 Items, die mit "ja" oder "nein" zu beantworten sind. Die Antworten werden Punktwerten zugeordnet, aus denen sich ein Summenscore berechnen laesst. Bei einem Summenwert von 20 und hoeher ist vom Vorliegen einer cerebralen Insuffizienz auszugehen. Der Test ist neben der Papier- und Bleistiftversion in einer computerunterstuetzten Version im Rahmen des Hogrefe Testsystems erhaeltlich. Grundlagen und Konstruktion: Die Items wurden anhand klinischer Beobachtungen der Fruehsymptome einer cerebralen Insuffizienz formuliert. Aus einem 58 Items umfassenden Itempool wurde aufgrund sprachlich-inhaltlicher und teststatistischer Kriterien (Trennschaerfe, Itemschwierigkeit) die Endform des Fragebogens gebildet. Empirische Prüfung und Gütekriterien: Die empirische Ueberpruefung des Verfahrens wurde nach den Angaben im Manual in vier Untersuchungen durchgefuehrt. Reliabilitaet: Bei einer Stichprobe von 80 stationaeren PatientInnen ergab sich nach einem Testintervall von 2 Wochen eine Retestkorrelation von .87, bei 320 PatientInnen nach 6 Wochen erfolgreicher Behandlung fand sich eine Retestreliabilitaet von .52. Cronbachs Alpha lag bei .94. Validitaet: Die bei Weidenhammer und Fischer (1987) referierten vier Studien liefern Hinweise auf das Vorliegen der wichtigsten Valditaetsaspekte: inhaltliche Validitaet (symptomrelevanten Itemformulierungen aufgrund klinischer Beobachtungen), faktorielle Validitaet (Eindimensionalitaet der Skala), Kriteriumsvaliditaet (Profilvergleich von Personen mit und ohne cerebrale Insuffizienz, Sensitivitaet: 69%, Spezifitaet: 90%), externe Validitaet (Korrelationen mit dem Giessener Beschwerdebogen bis maximal .60). Normen: Angegeben werden Mittelwerte und Standardabweichungen verschiedener Stichproben und Untergruppen von Patienten, eine Normierung im eigentlichen Sinne wurde nicht durchgefuehrt.publishedVersio
