Full textAbstract:
L’emploi largement répandu des licences Creative Commons, en vue de partager des oeuvres non logicielles, justifie le choix de leur consacrer une étude, afin d’apprécier leur rapprochement actuel au régime légale de la propriété littéraire et artistique et afin d’envisager de conciliations prospectives. L’étude relève la singularité de Creative Commons en tant que système de gestion des droits d’auteur ; ce dernier, composé d’une série de licences, est guidé par une association de promotion du partage d’oeuvres et mu par une idéologie fondée sur l’autonomie de la volonté des auteurs. L’hypothèse de notre étude repose sur la variété constatée des libertés accordées par les licences. Ces dernières se transforment en une série d’outils standardisés qui s’imposent progressivement comme une norme pour la jouissance partagée d’oeuvres – tout en se fondant sur les règles du droit d’auteur. En même temps, l’étude des conséquences de la mise en oeuvre de chaque licence illustre la création d’asymétries entre les acteurs du partage. Notamment, si la distinction entre utilisation commerciale et non commerciale – introduite par les licences – constitue un outil deconciliation du régime propriétaire avec celui du partage créatif, l’utilisation de la notion ambiguë d'utilisation non commerciale influence le sort des licences et complique le processus évolutif des oeuvres partagées. L’affinement de la variété des licences conduit l’étude à s’atteler à l’examen des mécanismes prospectifs afin d’aboutir à une coordination des licences avec le droit d’auteur qui serait fondée sur le principe fondateur de Creative Commons, à savoir l’essai de rééquilibrage des intérêts impliqués au droit d’auteurThe widespread use of the Creative Commons licenses for the sharing of non-software works demonstrates the imperative to devote a study to the licenses in question. The goal of the study is to assess the current links of the licenses to the legal regime of intellectual property in order to suggest prospective ones. The study underlines the singularity of Creative Commons as a copyright management system, which consists of a series of licenses and is guided by an association promoting the sharing of works and by an ideology based on the autonomy of the authors. The premise of the thesis is founded on the variety of freedoms granted by the licenses. The licenses transform into a series of standardized tools that are gradually imposed as a standard for the sharing of works while relying on the rules of copyright. At the same time, the analysis of the consequences of the implementation of each license demonstrates the asymmetries created between the agents involved in the sharing process. In particular, our study shows that although the distinction between commercial and non commercial introduced by the licenses acts as a conciliation tool between the proprietary regime and that of the creative sharing, the introduction of an ambiguous concept - that of non-commercial use - influences the fate of licenses and complicates the evolutionary process of shared works. One way to resolve this tension proposed by our thesis is to review prospective mechanisms that would achieve a level of coordination between the licenses and copyright based on the founding principle of Creative Commons, which is the rebalancing of the interests involved in copyright

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a documentation of an empirical study in which qualitative methods
were employed to investigate the current programmes offered to pre-service
Creative Arts teachers at selected South African universities.
The subject, Creative Arts, is one of the compulsory learning areas for grades R -
9 in all South African public schools as prescribed by the Curriculum and
Assessment Policy Statement of 2011. In order for learners to gain maximum
benefit from the subject Creative Arts, pre-service teachers should be educated to
gain an understanding of the interrelatedness of the different art forms. The
theoretical framework underpinning this study is Mezirow's theory of transformative
learning which is based on critical reflection. Pre-service teachers should
therefore be encouraged to critically reflect on the learning process, rethinking
their own perspectives and constructing new knowledge in the process of
discourse with others.
Information on the current programmes offered at five South African universities
involved in this collective case study, was extrapolated from interviews with both
lecturers of Creative Arts programmes, and pre-service teachers enrolled for
courses in Creative Arts. Furthermore, observations were done at various sites to
obtain an in-depth perspective of how the arts are presented at these institutions.
Findings revealed that most universities offer Creative Arts programmes with an
arts specific approach. This corresponds with the demands of artistic disciplines,
and especially performance arts, which require the development of practical skills
which should be developed over an extended period. Although developing these
specialized skills and knowledge in each art form is important, the discrete
presentation of these arts may limit opportunities for students to experience
integrated arts activities. Moreover, pre-service teachers need practice in school
based settings to hone their teaching skills in delivering meaningful arts activities
to learners.
The recognition of common grounds between the different art disciplines makes
the merging of these arts into the broad subject, Creative Arts possible. These commonalities should be further explored, especially in a South African context
where African arts are inherently integrated. Benefits of co-operative curriculum
planning between the departments of Basic and Higher Education in the provision
of competent and skilful teachers for Creative Arts is the key to successful arts
education in South African schools.Thesis (DMus)--University of Pretoria, 2016.

Full textAbstract:
Calls for more creative teaching and learning in classrooms are often matched by increasingly stringent accountability measures. Negotiating the creativity/accountability paradox is difficult for teachers, who are often isolated as they interpret, design, and deliver curriculum in their classrooms. This dissertation introduces and refines a 7-stage process called the Community Creative Collective (3-C) designed to generate solutions to three problems that derive from this paradox. First, narrowing of curriculum inhibits the ability of teachers to generate creative teaching and learning. Second, factors, including time constraints and teacher training, limit teachers' ability to develop the creative habit. Third, inclusion of family and community members as co-creators of curriculum provides a potential source of creative curriculum development.
Three research questions guide the exploration of the process:
1. How does the 3-C process allow teachers and community members to collaboratively generate creative teaching and learning opportunities for their students?
2. What are the distinguishing features of this collaborative curricular process?
3. How does such a process impact teachers' interpretations of their role as interpreters, designers and deliverers of curriculum?
Using a Design Based approach, these questions investigate the process as it was implemented in a 5th-grade classroom. The first question uses a case study methodology to trace the development of the 3-C process as it was developed and implemented. Findings demonstrated that communication at multiple stages impacted the generation of creative ideas. The second question uses qualitative data from documents, interviews, audio and video recordings and observations to extrapolate some of the distinguishing feature of the process. Key features included the Ideational Speed Dating (ISD) process for idea-generation, the 3-C process as a peak flow experience and the impact of parent and community expertise to generate creative classroom content. The third question uses interviews with the participating teacher to examine the impact of the 3-C process on her interpretation of her role in the classroom. The process influenced her view on family and community involvement, providing space through which tensions can be resolved and creative engagement can flourish. Finally refinements for future iterations are discussed in addition to implications for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse envisage les effets occasionnés par la créativité collective contextualisée, plus particulièrement à l’échelle des groupes restreints, à partir d’une approche communicationnelle par les « constructions médiatrices ». Elle poursuit trois grands objectifs. Premièrement, elle s’inscrit dans une volonté d’éclaircissement de la notion de créativité de groupe en tant que phénomène (tel qu’abordé par Woodman, Sawyer et Griffin, 1993) et propose d’en faire la distinction par rapport à la méthode employée par le groupe de créativité (Demory, 1986; Aznar, 2011). Deuxièmement, elle cherche à clarifier les formes d’échanges et d’interactions au cours du processus de création-communication. Troisièmement, elle interroge les effets de ce phénomène collectif complexe de manière à mieux comprendre les conditions de déploiement de la créativité contextualisée.En prenant pour objet d’étude l’expérience vécue d’acteurs en situation par le biais d’un dispositif pédagogique, nous avons convié une communauté d’apprenants à vivre une expérience de création collective immersive et originale qui, par sa nature engageante et déroutante, était susceptible de heurter les habitudes et le cadre traditionnel d’apprentissage. Nous avons émis l’hypothèse que la tension créative entraine la réorganisation constante de l’activité des groupes en influençant les « constructions médiatrices » puis, que la nature de ce contexte cristallise la cohésion et l’engagement des groupes impliqués. Par une analyse de l’activité-créativité (la créactivité) de groupe, et plus particulièrement par l’observation des actions conjointes, des rapports d’interactions et de l’implication des membres, cette étude postule que la créativité collective contextualisée participe à l’émergence de formes d’interactions. Puis, que le recours aux moyens médiateurs (aux artefacts, à la division du travail et aux règles d’interactions) s’effectue dans un mouvement constant de réorganisation de l’activité par dépassements successifs des contradictions, par la formation de noeuds de médiations. Les constructions médiatrices sont ainsi le reflet du processus de transformation du sens des interactions sociales au cours de l’activitéThis thesis considers the effects caused by contextualized collective creativity, especially in small groups, based on a communicational approach by “mediational constructs". It has three main objectives. First, it wishes to clarify the concept of group creativity as a phenomenon (as discussed by Woodman, Sawyer and Griffin, 1993) and to propose its distinction from the method used by creativity groups (Demory, 1986; Aznar, 2011). Secondly, it seeks to clarify the forms of exchange and interactions during the communicative-creative process. Third, it investigates the effects of this complex collective phenomenon for a better understanding of contextualized creativity conditions and deployment.Using a pedagogical framework, we have invited a community of learners to experiment an immersive and original collective creation experience which was likely to upset habits and the traditional framework of learning by its engaging and confusing nature. We hypothesized that creative tension leads to the constant reorganization of group activity by influencing " mediational constructs " and that the nature of this context crystallizes the group cohesion and commitment. Through an analysis of group activity-creativity (creactivity), and more specifically by observing joint actions, interactions relationships and the involvement of members, this study postulates that contextualized collective creativity participates in the emergence of forms of interactions. Then, that the use of meditational means (artefacts, division of labor and rules of interactions) takes place in a constant movement of activity reorganization by overcoming contradictions by successive formation of “mediation nodes”. Thus, the mediational constructs represent a reflection of the transformation process of the social interactions meaning during the activity

The object of research of this work is comprised of collaborative creative processes developed by the group denominated Espaço Coringa, an art collective that worked for 11 years, from 1998 to 2009. Based on the group s documents and works, this research aims at observing the mechanisms that led to the formation of the group, understanding its ways of acting based on generalizations of its organizational methods, capturing the ways in which the group related to processes of capital valuation and the contemporary art system, systemizing the type of works produced, and which relationships were created with new media in the context of a collaborative production. In this research we seek ways to understand the collaborative creation processes and the very formation of this collective as part of a communicative process, with internal coherence and intentionality, in order to realize a poetic project. We pay special attention to the relationships between individuals, between them and collective processes as a whole, in order to identify which vectors condition these relationships. In our survey we realized that, from specific points of view, the group s collaborative creations offered possibilities of emancipation and increased awareness of the individuals involved, proposing concrete experiences of new forms of sociability. At times, from different theoretical points of view, these same actions appear as ways to undertake the collective work through the contemporary art system. Moreover, we establish here some possibilities of understanding the processes that produce works through collaboration. The methodology adopted consisted of bibliographic surveys, theoretical and epistemological reflections on the object of study, field surveys based on the observation and reading of the works and documents about the processes of that collective. The theoretical framework includes the process criticism of Cecília Almeida Salles, Michel Maffesoli s concept of tribes, Zygmunt Bauman and his discussion on community, Boaventura de Souza Santos and his reflections on social emancipation, Vilém Flusser s concepts of communication, speech, and dialog, Nicolas Bourriaud s relational aesthetics, Hakim Bey s concept of Autonomous Temporary Zone, and Anne Cauquelin and her reflections on the art system. Also, we make use of Julio Plaza s concept of intersemiotic translation, Edgar Morin and his thoughts on interactions, effervescence, and his reflections on culture and complexity, as well as the relationships between art, science, and cognition raised by Jorge Vieira de Albuquerque
O presente trabalho tem como objeto de pesquisa os processos criativos colaborativos desenvolvidos pelo grupo Espaço Coringa, coletivo de arte que atuou durante 11 anos, de 1998 a 2009, em São Paulo. A partir da leitura de documentos e obras do grupo, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo observar os mecanismos que levaram à sua formacão; compreender sua maneira de atuar, a partir de generalizações das suas formas organizativas; perceber de que formas ele se relacionou com os processos de valorização do capital e com o sistema da arte contemporânea; sistematizar o tipo de obras produzidas e quais as relações estabelecidas com as novas mídias, no contexto de uma produção colaborativa. Como problemática da pesquisa, buscar-se-ão formas de compreender os processos colaborativos de criação e a própria formação desse coletivo, como parte de um processo comunicacional, com coerência interna, intencionalidade e busca da realização de um projeto poético. Atentar-se-á para as relações entre os indivíduos e destes com os processos coletivos como um todo, identificando quais vetores condicionam essas relações. Percebeu-se durante a pesquisa que, sob determinados pontos de vista, as criações colaborativas do grupo apresentaram possibilidades de emancipação e conscientização dos indivíduos envolvidos, propondo experiências concretas de novas formas de sociabilidade. Algumas vezes, essas mesmas ações, observadas sob outras visões teóricas, apresentam-se como forma de cooptação do trabalho coletivo pelo sistema da arte contemporânea. Estabeleceram-se, ainda, algumas possibilidades de compreensão dos processos que produzem obras através da colaboração. A metodologia adotada consistiu em levantamentos bibliográficos, reflexões teóricas e epistemológicas sobre o objeto de estudo, pesquisa de campo a partir da observação e leitura de obras e documentos de processo do coletivo estudado. O quadro teórico inclui a crítica de processo, de Cecília Almeida Salles; o conceito de tribos, de Michel Maffesoli; Zygmunt Bauman e sua discussão sobre comunidade; Boaventura de Souza Santos e suas reflexões sobre emancipação social; os conceitos de comunicação, discurso e diálogo, de Vilém Flusser; a estética relacional, de Nicolas Bourriaud; o conceito de Zona Autônoma Temporária, de Hakim Bey; Anne Cauquelin e suas reflexões sobre o sistema de arte. Valeu-se, ainda, do conceito de tradução intersemiótica, de Julio Plaza; Edgar Morin e seu pensamento sobre interações e efervescência, e suas reflexões sobre cultura e complexidade, além das relações entre arte, ciência e cognição, levantadas por Jorge Vieira de Albuquerque

Full textAbstract:
Le principal objectif de cette thèse est d'expliquer en quoi l’efficience statique (static efficiency), l’efficience de coordination (coordinative efficiency) et l’efficience créative (creative efficiency) jouent un rôle déterminant dans la conception de la gouvernance à l'ère numérique. Il s’agit également d’étudier des mécanismes originaux de gouvernance, au-delà de la traditionnelle dimension marché-hiérarchie, pouvant faciliter les processus de coordination intégrative (integrative coordination) ainsi que de création collective dans les organisations.La thèse comprend trois essais. Le premier est une contribution de nature théorique montrant que l’économie des coûts de transaction (Williamson 1979, 1991, 1996, 2002) ne permet pas de rendre compte de façon satisfaisante de la conception de la gouvernance à l’ère numérique. Le modèle conceptuel normatif proposé contribue à repenser celle-ci dans une perspective pluraliste intégrant complexité et variété. Les choix de gouvernance ne sont ainsi plus limités à la seule dimension marché-hiérarchie comme le laisse penser l’économie des coûts de transaction. Une perspective intégrant la construction sociale des modes d’organisation (Giddens, 1985; Greenwood et al. 2011) permet de définir une variété de formes de gouvernance. Il est possible de représenter, dans un espace à trois dimensions (efficience statique, efficience de coordination et efficience créative), les différentes configurations de gouvernance sous la forme d’un triangle. Cette représentation peut être appliquée afin de rendre compte des choix de gouvernance possibles à différents niveaux organisationnels.Les deux essais suivants sont à dominante empirique. Ils visent à prolonger le premier en étudiant le lien entre des configurations innovantes de gouvernance et la performance des organisations en matière d’efficacité de coordination et d’efficacité créative. Le deuxième essai se concentre sur la coordination d’intégration dans les organisations. Des structures organisationnelles distribuées à plusieurs couches ou layered distributed organizational structures (Simon, 1962), des plans définis ex ante de façon imprécise ou broad-brushed ex ante plans (Edmondson, Bohmer et Pisano, 2001), ainsi que des semi-structures (Brown et Eisenhardt, 1997) s’avèrent utiles au processus de coordination lorsque les interdépendances sont complexes et incertaines. Le troisième essai porte sur la performance des organisations en matière de créativité collective. Il s’intéresse notamment aux dispositifs organisationnels facilitant l’émergence d’une telle créativité tout en préservant stabilité et efficacité. Plusieurs formes de perturbation qualifiées d’ordonnées (ordered disruption), tant au niveau spatial (ordered spatial disruption) que temporel (ordered temporal disruption) et affectif (ordered affective disruption), contribuent à l'émergence de la créativité collective.Le matériel empirique utilisé dans les deuxième et troisième essais provient d’une étude des modes de gouvernance de différents projets de villes intelligentes (smart-cities) nécessitant une collaboration entre plusieurs organisationsThe main objective of this dissertation is to explain why coordinative efficiency, creative efficiency, together with static efficiency are all critical goals of governance design in digital age, and to explore innovative governance arrangements, beyond the one-dimensional line defined by “market” and “hierarchy”, that can facilitate the processes of integrative coordination, and collective creation in organizations.The dissertation is composed of three essays. Essay 1 is a theory paper that provides the overall theoretical arguments about why transaction cost economics (Williamson 1979, 1991, 1996, 2002) is no longer a satisfactory theoretical framework for governance design in the digital age, and offers a normative model which suggest possibilities of much more nuanced, complicated and pluralistic governance choices than suggested by transaction cost economics. It is argued that potential governance choices are not solely situated on a one-dimensional line between hierarchy and market, as transaction cost economics asserts. The rich connotations of socially constructed agency (Giddens, 1985; Greenwood et al. 2011) provide diverse possibilities of governance arrangements, which spread across a triangular plane in a three-dimensional space defined by static efficiency, coordinative efficiency and creative efficiency (see Figure 1). This paper provides both graphic and mathematical presentations of this three-dimensional model for governance design, which can be applied to different levels of organizing.Essay 2 and 3 are two empirical papers that endeavor to extend Essay 1 by finding out the exact relationship between certain innovative governance arrangements with organizations’ performance in coordinative and creative efficiencies. Essay 2 focuses on the realization of integrative coordination in organizations. It found out that layered distributed organizational structure (Simon, 1962), broad-brushed ex ante plan (Edmondson, Bohmer and Pisano, 2001), and semi-structures (Brown and Eisenhardt, 1997) are beneficial in facilitating an ongoing coordination process when interdependencies are complex and uncertain. Essay 3 focuses on organizations’ performance in collective creativity (Shalley et al., 2004; George, 2007), especially on what governance arrangements can best allow collective creativity to emerge without overly sacrificing organizational stability and efficiency. It is discovered that “ordered disruption”, including ordered spatial disruption, ordered temporal disruption and ordered affective disruption, have positive effects on the emergence of collective creativity. Both Essay 2 and Essay 3 use collaborative organizations on smart city projects as the empirical setting. The findings of these two empirical papers are grounded on multiple case studies on those collaborative organizations

Full textAbstract:
Notre recherche questionne la diffusion de pratiques innovantes dans un champ de la santé pluri-institutionnalisé et pluraliste. Notre cadre théorique aborde la diffusion de pratiques innovantes entre différents lieux d’activités soutenue par une innovation organisationnelle : le Réseau Créatif de Pratiques (RCP). Le RCP repose sur deux concepts : le « réseau de pratiques » potentiellement favorable à la diffusion de pratiques et les « collectifs créatifs » pour assurer son management face à deux tensions (exploitation versus exploration et généralisation versus contextualisation). Notre démarche méthodologique s’appuie sur deux études de cas longitudinales : une Agence Régionale de Santé (ARS) et un Collectif National des pilotes MAIA (Collectif). La méthodologie qualitative repose sur des entretiens semi-directifs, observations et des données secondaires. Nos deux études de cas montrent comment émerge et s’auto-organise un RCP au regard de deux caractéristiques : sa structuration et son animation. Ces deux cas montrent une situation instable des collectifs créatifs orientés par la politique d’un Haut (ARS) ou de l’expertise opérationnelle d’un Bas (Collectif). Pour autant, ce déséquilibre tend à se résorber à la faveur des efforts récents de mise en visibilité et de justification. Notre modèle d’analyse nous conduit à réaliser une lecture critique des mix organisationnels et managériaux des RCP étudiés et discuter des mécanismes correctifs (un encastrement complémentaire de justification, une structure duale, une double capacité à agir) qui leur sont nécessaires pour parvenir à compenser leur fort enracinement dans l’une des deux autres strates (Haut ou Bas)Our research questions the diffusion of innovative practices in a pluri-institutionalized and pluralistic health field. Our theoretical framework addresses the diffusion of innovative practices between different places of activity supported by an organizational innovation: the Practice Creative Network (PCN). The PCN is based on two concepts: the "network of practice" potentially favorable to the diffusion of practices and the "creative collectives" to ensure its management in the face of two tensions (exploitation versus exploration and generalization versus contextualization). Our methodological approach is based on two longitudinal case studies: a Regional Health Agency (RHA) and a National Collective of MAIA pilots (MAIA Collective). The qualitative methodology is based on semi-directive interviews, observations and secondary data. Our two case studies show how a PCN emerges and self-organizes with regard to two characteristics: its structuring and its management. These two cases show an unstable situation of creative collectives oriented by the policy of an Upperground (RHA) or the expertise of an Underground (MAIA Collective). However, this imbalance tends to be reduced thanks to recent efforts to raise visibility and justification. This model of analysis leads us to make a critical reading of the organizational and managerial mix of the PCNs studied and discuss the three corrective mechanisms (a complementary embeddedness of justification, a dual structure, a dual actorhood) that are necessary to compensate for their strong roots in one of the other two layers (Upperground or Underground)

The main aim of this research was to comprehend the process of collective artistic creation developed by Grupo EmpreZa. In order to achieve this purpose, the experience of this Dissertation author as an active member in the group, the systematic observation of the Group meetings and its artistic workshops, performances, audiovisual and photographic productions were taken into consideration as sources for the analyzes. In the first part of the Dissertation, the focus remained on the relationship between the individual and society. Some discussions on authorship were addressed, mainly how the conception of authorship has changed throughout History and how this affects Art, in general, and the artistic collectives, in particular, especially in contemporary times. The second part, in its turn, presents a study of the creative process of the Grupo EmpreZa itself. From this author perceptions and experiences and the other sources already mentioned, this section tries to understand how the collective Grupo EmpreZa has operated and developed its artistic creation. Since the group consists of several individuals, many of them with an individual artistic career, it was also important to analyze how can the individual interfere with the collective creation process and the vice-versa, how can the collective interfere with the individual creative process, but also if the individualities disappear or rather are in fact attenuated in a collective creation process.
Esta pesquisa tem por objeto analisar o processo de criação artística realizado em coletividade, tendo como base o processo de criação do Grupo EmpreZa. As reflexões foram desenvolvidas a partir da minha vivência enquanto membro ativo no grupo, por meio da observação de reuniões, laboratórios artísticos e do desenvolvimento dos trabalhos. Na primeira parte do estudo, procuro refletir, em um aspecto geral, sobre as relações do indivíduo e sociedade. Aborda-se discussões acerca da autoria, refletindo sobre suas mudanças ao longo da história para entender como ela funciona na arte e como tem se diluído em alguns coletivos artísticos na contemporaneidade. Em seguida, há um estudo aprofundado do processo de criação do Grupo EmpreZa. Nele, exponho, a partir das minhas percepções e vivências, como o coletivo tem operado e desenvolvido a sua criação artística. Sendo o grupo constituído por vários indivíduos, muitos deles com carreira artística individual, procura-se refletir sobre o impacto das diferentes individualidades em um processo de criação coletivo e ainda se as individualidades se diluem ou se fortificam em um processo de criação realizado em coletividade.

Previous issue date: 2011-11-25The objective of this thesis is to show how a theatrical play is created, considering the actors and director as the main creative agents. The object of study is the play Hipóteses para o amor e a verdade produced by the theatre group Os Satyros . In this perspective, theatre is considered a collective work, as a result of a broad range of knowledge and know-how of diverse people. The analysis reveals the several moments that constitute the theatre creation process, and especially the interrelationship between actors and director, focusing on the relations of interdependence, authority and autonomy
Esta tese aborda o processo de construção ou montagem de um espetáculo de teatro, em que atores, atrizes e diretor constituem o seu núcleo central. A referência empírica é a montagem de Hipóteses para o amor e a verdade , realizado na cidade de São Paulo, entre março e dezembro de 2010, pelo grupo de teatro Os Satyros . São recuperadas as diversas etapas desse processo para, em seguida, mostrar as interrelações dos atores entre si e destes com o diretor na criação dos personagens e das cenas durante os ensaios, nas estreias e na temporada, com foco nas relações de interdependência, autoridade e autonomia. O fazer teatral é concebido como obra coletiva, fruto da confluência de vários saberes e múltiplos saberes-fazeres. Portanto, o fazer artístico decorre de uma labuta incessante, pondo em questão a separação entre os chamados mundos do trabalho e do não trabalho

Full textAbstract:
The novel manuscript Blue Horses (published as Dust, by Random House Australia under its Woolshed Press Imprint, July 2009) focuses on a dusty corner of 1970’s Queensland in this evocative tale of family, shadows that hang over from childhood and beauty found in unexpected places. Its protagonist, Cecilia Maria, was named after saints and martyrs to give her something to live up to. “Over my dead body,” she vows. Her battles with a six-pack of brothers and the despised Kapernicke girls from the farm next door teach her an unforgettable lesson that echoes down through the years. Now she’s heading back to where it all began, with teenagers Jed and Jenna reluctantly in tow. She plans to dance on a grave and track down some ghosts. Instead she learns a new lesson at the gravesite of an old enemy.
The exegesis examines Jung’s concept of the Shadow Archetype as a catalyst for individuation in writing for young adults. It discusses the need to re-vision Jung’s work within a feminist framework and contrasts it to Julia Kristeva’s work on the abject. Alyssa Brugman’s Walking Naked and Sonya Hartnett’s Sleeping Dogs are analysed in relation to these concepts and lead into my own creative reflections on, and justification for, use of the Shadow conceptual framework. In following my shadow and establishing a creative dialogue between my conscious intent and unconscious inspirations, I have discovered a writing self that is “other” to the professional writer persona of my past.

There are, however, overridig themes of fantasy and surrealism throughout, for each of the narratives ask of the reader to disengage from certain axioms of how the world works. The first story, The Other Ellis, deals with a character's struggle to come to terms with the possibiligy that he may be the only person hearing hidden messages in the music of a particular composer. He becomes convinced that the composer has a terrible secret. The major portion of work for this dissertation, Slumber, is a short novel that explores a science fiction theme, but is written in a style closer to suspense/horror. Once the first chaper closes, each successive chapter presents the reader with a different viewpoint character who wakes from frightful nightmares, which seem to have a primary antagonist: a murderer with eerie, unearthly power.

Previous issue date: 2014-07-02This research proposes the theme of analyzing the interaction as a creative resource for photographers working in collectives, noting the route of organizing photographic work as a process of creating networks. The project objective is to discuss the process of building the collective picture trials of photography: Cia de Foto, Garapa and Rolê, which call themselves collectives photography. The hypothesis is that the construction of the photographic essay is systematized as knowledge networks built on constant collaborative interactions. And the final delivery of the test is strengthened in the process of editing material collected by members. Collecting the course of work documentation from files left on the internet and interviews will be taken. These documents are records of group discussions, click the collective (compared with camera) and the publishing group (compared with software and selection). The study of each group process will enable comparative mapping modes of collective action in a more general way, as regards the establishment of authorship. The research aims to contribute to both the research process and for discussions on new directions in contemporary photography

O objetivo do projeto é discutir o processo de construção de ensaios autorais dos grupos de fotografia: Cia de Foto, Garapa e do Rolê, que se autointitulam coletivos de fotografia. A hipótese é que a construção do ensaio fotográfico sistematiza-se como redes de conhecimentos, sistematizados por constantes interações colaborativas e a finalização do trabalho é fortalecida no processo de edição dos materiais coletados pelos integrantes. A coleta da documentação do percurso de trabalho dos coletivos será levantada a partir arquivos deixados na internet e por entrevistas. Esses documentos são os registros das discussões em grupo, do clique coletivo (relação com a câmera) e o da edição em conjunto (relação com software e seleção). O estudo do processo de cada grupo viabilizará o mapeamento comparativo dos modos de ação dos coletivos de uma maneira mais geral e também, no que diz respeito autoria e sua instauração.

Phipps, Amanda Dawn. "Learning through performance : theatre, education and the First World War at the beginning of the centenary moment." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/27763.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores representations of the First World War in English theatre, Theatre in Education (TIE), and Living History between 2014 and 2015. By employing an interdisciplinary approach it evaluates these performance genres in relation to responses sought from Key Stage 3 History pupils. The beginning of the centenary created a cultural outpouring and provided opportunities for secondary schools to include field trips and creative learning about the war. Examination of this commemorative period is contextualised by examining pupils’ interaction with cultural works since 1914, showing that the centenary moment stemmed from a tradition of creatively remembering and teaching the conflict. This perspective highlights long-standing complexities in the relationship between creative practitioners, teachers and education authorities. It also confronts the divide that has grown between some creative practitioners and revisionist historians of the First World War. Revisionist historians’ reassessment of the conduct and necessity of the war has led some to harshly judge cultural works, such as performances, for misleading audiences. Yet little research has been conducted into twenty-first century productions about the war and their reception by school audiences. An investigation of these performances problematizes scholarly notions about how and who has the authority to communicate the First World War to the next generation. Whilst the providers, gatekeepers, and critics of learning through performance are of central consideration, this thesis also values the pupil’s voice. Ten Key Stage 3 cohorts are used as case studies, providing a snapshot of the creative activities and field trips employed by schools in 2014 and 2015. Interviews and questionnaires provide pupils’ feedback on what they thought and how they felt about studying history through performance. Observations of History lessons and performances also remove the debate from the hypothetical to the realities of history teaching. They reveal that pupils’ cultural backgrounds, schooling, and exposure to cultural works shaped their responses to performances about the First World War. Pupils also assigned the performances varying degrees of historical authority, some viewed them as merely entertainment, others as educational sources and several as a mixture of the two. Performances brought immediacy and life to the historical topic and provoked an empathetic response from many pupils. Yet some struggled with the symbolism of theatre and others feared the participation that came with TIE and Living History. Consequently, this thesis explores pupil’s critical, personal and emotional engagement with performances, raising questions about what criteria should be used to evaluate the success of such non-formal learning on the war.

Full textAbstract:
Turning Compost is a collection of forty poems, two of which, Seven Kakhaiku and Tres Troubled Triolets, are multiple poems intended to be read as units. The poems have been ordered so that there is a flow of connected or contrasting ideas from poem to poem, therefore it is recommended that they be read in the order presented. The themes covered by the poems are varied, but principal amongst them are memory, nature, dreams and symbols, family and friends, and the search for meaning; they appear in roughly that order. Death, and its challenges to meaning, is a theme which recurs throughout the collection, something which is reflected in the collection's title which is borrowed from one of the poems. Included is one poem, Pig People, which was written specifically for children. The poems are written in a variety of forms, evincing the poet's conscious rejection of stylistic consistency as a goal in developing his voice.

Rice, Martha Kilgore. "Figure eight : a collection of short stories." Scholarly Commons, 1987. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/2139.
Full textAbstract:
Most of the eight stories in this collection are about individuals who are alienated. They are unable or unwilling to break through the barriers that separate them from others. The stories are contemporary; the settings are urban/suburban. The past plays an important part in defining and limiting the present, and fantasy sometimes replaces reality as an option for dealing with the loneliness of isolation. Direct confrontation is another option. Desire for power and the need for assertiveness are important elements in the action of the stories. By contrast, retreat into submission may become the sad alternative.
The voices change with each story. An older man mourns the death of his wife. A young married woman contemplates her sterile marriage but is unable to extricate herself from her stereotypical role as wife. An old man tries to figure out how he can confront his nephew and his family about the values he thinks they lack. A young woman rejects a marriage that she feels will stifle her freedom but returns in middle age to try to understand what exactly she was fighting against. A young boy tries to understand his aunt and her husbands. A seedy middle-aged man dreams of an encounter with a woman of class. A woman who has been rejected by an old friend tries to comprehend the reasons for her friend's mental breakdown.
Some of the characters emerge triumphant to begin again; others are stalemated and accept the status quo; a few make tentative movements in the direction of change without knowing what the outcome will be.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined leaders’ roles in fostering collective genius innovation within one private elementary school, including managing the paradoxes of innovation. Based on content analysis of eleven participants, this study found that teamwork, clear student learning outcomes emphasizing individualized learning, design thinking, and a growth mindset, all impacted willingness to innovate. To develop conditions for collective genius, leaders again focus on teamwork as well as being relational. In terms of their management of the six innovative paradoxes, the school leaders tend to balance their affirmation of the individual and the group, support staff and parents, focus on experimentation and learning, improvisation, patience, and bottom-up initiatives.

This creative thesis is a retelling of events as a collection of poems. Struggling with mental illness most of my life, I base most of my writing in this odd juxtaposition—the struggle for life alternating with my delight in its splendor. I find myself writing about the most challenging times in my life along with the most magnificent.
The critical introduction explores and elaborates on the context and influences of my writing. Every line of poetry on every page has been a journey of reconciliation with my past and present—a journey deciphering who I am among all the leftovers of what I have been. An undeniably essential expedition.

As cidades estão em constante transformação e crescimento, onde o ritmo de mudanças sociais, tecnológicas e econômicas tem se acelerado pela globalização. Nesse contexto, mostra-se a necessidade de pensar novas soluções sob a ótica da inovação social considerando a possibilidade de gerar soluções mais sustentáveis, coletivas e sociais. Diferentes autores reforçam o potencial do design estratégico para criar e gerir essa nova mentalidade, a partir do uso de metodologias interdisciplinares e centrada nas pessoas. Neste contexto, surgem as Comunidades Criativas, que são grupos de pessoas que se reúnem – virtualmente ou fisicamente - para construir novas soluções para o seu próprio cotidiano. As comunidades têm como premissa a construção de soluções para o espaço urbano através de um diálogo mais próximo entre a sociedade, as instituições, a iniciativa privada e o poder público. A partir de uma análise exploratória, espera-se compreender como ação do Design Estratégico, como uma metodologia de inovação social pode contribuir para a motivação de soluções colaborativas na cidade de São Paulo. A pesquisa abrange um estudo de caso sobre o Coletivo Ocupe & Abrace, comunidade criativa que propõe um novo modelo não institucionalizado e compartilhado de melhorias no bairro Vila Pompeia, na capital paulista. Como resultado, foram identificadas diretrizes projetuais que podem guiar a atuação do designer no âmbito da cidade.
Cities are facing social, technological and economic changes, accelerated by globalization. In this scenario, social innovations gains importance as it grows the need for more social and sustainable solutions. Different authors believe that social innovation can be generated with a strategic design approach because of its collaborative and human centered methodologies. In this context Creative Communities emerge: virtual or physical groups of people that are creating sustainable solutions for their own everyday life. Their premise is a closer dialogue between society, institutions, private enterprises and the State. An exploratory approach was used to understand how Strategic Design, as a social innovation methodology, can be used to motivate collaborative solutions in the city of São Paulo. The research includes the case study of Ocupe & Abrace, a creative community that promotes a non-institutionalized and shared model for improvements in the Vila Pompeia neigborhood. The studies’ purpose was to identify elements that could be explored in design-oriented projects in the urban context.

Includes bibliographical references.This collection of 47 poems, Questions for the Sea, explores questions pertaining to the frailty of human existence within the natural and built environment. Many of the poems involve some form of human exposure, and subsequent response, to the e.ects of the natural elements. The presence of the ocean, whether obvious or nuanced, is o.ered to the reader as a constant; and serves as a point of entry or departure, and even inquiry, for the poems. The collection is divided into nine sections which encompass themes including landscape, natural topographies, specific localities within South Africa, inter-personal relationships, and aspects of human conflict, both historical and contemporary. Of special interest to the poet, are the visual properties of the poem’s form on paper, as well as its association with poetic style and narrative function.

King, Andrew David. "Creative collecting in the romantic period : parts into wholes." Thesis, Lancaster University, 2013. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.663248.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between collecting and literature in the work of a selection of Romantic writers. Its primary aim is to consider the ways in which collecting can lead to literary creativity. Secondary to this concern are related questions about how collected objects and texts are reconstituted in such a way as to create new wholes; how writers sought to define themselves and their age through their collections; and whether or not a collection can transcend the sum of its parts. Both the Introduction and Chapter One establish a conceptual framework for my readings by outlining recent developments in the emerging field of 'Collecting Studies' and recent works on literature and collecting. Each of the four chapters that follow focuses on a particular type of literary engagement with collecting. Chapter Two examines the debates about artistic creativity and the state purchase of the Elgin Marbles and explores how these debates led to a new kind of thinking about the value and use of collections. This chapter sets up the notion of collecting leading to creativity in a national context by drawing upon parliamentary debates as well as debates in popular poetry of the time illustrating just how widely argued these ideas were. Chapters Three and Four move on to focus on a specific writer and collector, Sir Walter Scott. Together they argue that Scott's literary identity is fundamentally bound up with his identity as a collector. Chapter Three takes poetry as its focus and discusses how Scott's collection of ballads in The Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border (1802-3) provided the impetus for his own poetic career. Chapter Four builds on this and explores the relationship between Scott's material collection at Abbotsford and his prose fiction. Together these two chapters chart Scott's career from collector to someone who was widely considered to be a creative genius by his contemporaries. Chapter Five explores the notion of using a collection in order to define one's own age. The example here is William Hazlitt's collection of biographical writings, The Spirit of the Age; Or, Contemporary Portraits (1825). The chapter also asks whether or not a collection can transcend the sum of its parts. The writers discussed here have been chosen because their work is underpinned by the principles of collecting. By considering their work in this light we can develop a fuller understanding of the relationship between collecting and literary activity .

This thesis is comprised of three short stories that explore the pathologization of perceived social abnormalities and the isolation that often follows. "The Firmament" focuses on ostracization due to social difference, while "Shards" and "A Box of Rocks" focus on a specific 'abnormality'—schizoid personality disorder and high-functioning autism, respectively. These stories are not exact representations of a specific disorder, but my interpretation of the materials that I encountered during my research.

Full textAbstract:
“Daffodils” is a collection of three fictional short stories without obvious thematic connection, yet all containing tenacious female characters. “The Winner” is told from the unflinching voice of a young wife in her struggle for control within the newfound environment of a Massachusetts boarding school. “The Seers” is a dystopian story, taking place in a world with months of “Sun” and months of dark at a time, intimately describing the effects of this phenomenon upon the civilization. Lastly, “Plastic Flowers” examines the loss of love and comfort within a relationship, depicting the insecurities of young adult life in New York City. The three stories vary in perspective, tense, genre, and setting, which allowed me to experiment broadly within fictional short story writing. An in depth introduction describing my process and inspiration for writing is included. Please enjoy!

Full textAbstract:
This research examines in detail the concept stage of architectural design, giving emphasis on the strategic behaviour in collaborative concept design activity, exploring how this can inform digital tools and workflows in the architectural digital prototyping process. To attain this, this research has been developed in four complementary stages: a survey investigating some aspects of common knowledge in design practice, an ethnography of design review meetings; experiments measuring specific aspects found in this ethnography; and finally an investigation of the findings as game theoretical model, proposing variations of strategic behaviour within this workflow. To start with, the survey was conducted to identify views on collaborative work. This informed an ethnography, using a series of video-reflection interviews of the documented social situations. This empirical data, including focus interview, eye tracking and qualitative questionnaires were then coded for semantic analyses to identify meaningful patterns of behaviour and a number of selected themes related to this value seeking behaviour, composing an ethnographic monograph. Focusing on one aspect of the ethnography, ‘the adaptive behaviour of designers’, two controlled experiments were conducted to observe the designers response to changes. For this, hardware and software were developed to register the interaction between designers. The data collected, including before and after questionnaires, were explored to give insights into how architects articulate knowledge to realise value in design. A series of game-theoretical models were developed as a unifying framework for these observations. They vary from simpler, strategic games with a conservative equilibrium, to extensive, incomplete and imperfect games. Although here the initial ambition was to test mechanism designs to yield desirable outcomes, the study is limited to modelling observations and reflecting on alternative design workflows. For the study conclusion, we reflect on these interaction models as a mechanism to promote cohesion on knowledge management in the production of building information models, whereby architects would be able to explore, retrieve and transform designs in an unobtrusive collaborative workflow by recycling assets in a non-destructive fashion. The scope of this research hopes to characterise negotiations and problematisation in the architectural design process, examining dynamics of decision making between architects unfolds to identify and create value in the early design process.

Full textAbstract:
Really, Daddy is a collection of twelve stories that explore the dynamics of racial, intra-racial, gender, and religious power clashes. In narratives that range from realistic to postmodern, characters move through conflicts on a path to self-realization. Ostensibly the responsible ones, the protagonists’ identities are elucidated in the context of the burdens that they carry.
At the center of this collection are women and fathers in crisis, as they attempt to save their families or to nourish their own spirits. Whether the character is an African-American Muslim mother shocked into indecision when the Qur’an doesn’t lead her family in its crisis, or an enslaved woman torturing other slaves out of anger over losing her female love, fabulist techniques are combined with realism to unfold the haunting and humorous tales of the imposition of family responsibilities on the lives of the most vulnerable. Here, the reader will find the lapsed Catholic and her wife seeking help from African religion devotees who don’t approve of lesbian relationships, the maid who sacrifices her daughter to a lecherous boss so the rest of her family can eat, and the gay Muslim brother and his lesbian sister in conflict over what to do with his baby. Reflecting the contemporary world in which people live in overlapping marginal spaces of society, these are the stories of America’s forgotten subcultures.Master of Fine Arts

Thesis advisor: Susan MichalczykTurbulent times always elicit change. Outside forces are constantly shifting, only to affect the lives of the characters that are at their mercy. Only by adapting to these changes can one truly survive in this world. However, unlike these forces of nature, God, or chance, people have to think about changing before they can carry through with it. Questions plague their minds and options torment their souls. What course of action is best for them, and which allows them to maintain some sense of self? These collected stories focus on people in turmoil. People in pain. People who must change. What happens to a man who will truly die if he loses the love of his life? Should you take the advice of a psychic, abandoning your own free will in the process? When the larger forces in the world are trying to destroy you, do you let them, or fight back against literally impossible odds? In the end, everyone must come to a decision. Stagnation and inaction themselves can decide your fate. As Neil Gaiman once said: Everything changes. But nothing is truly lost

Full textAbstract:
'Creative Encounters in the Archive: Queering the Performance Collection of Eddie Ladd' draws on the field of performance studies, the practice of archiving and the critical framework of queer theory in order to argue that the practice of archiving can produce archives as sites of creative potential. Recent approaches in performance studies have examined artistic interventions into archives as well as the archive’s role in debates surrounding performance’s ephemerality. This thesis seeks to re-examine the latter notion, arguing that both performance and archive are predicated on transience and are equally precarious. The thesis also aims to bring performance studies into a closer engagement and conversation with archival practices. In doing so, it seeks to advocate for a greater understanding in performance studies of the professional processes involved in making performance’s remains available, through which the creative potentiality of archives are realised. The research uses a queer theoretical lens, with emphasis on its foregrounding as a deconstructionist strategy and epistemological enquiry, to engage with literature on archives and archival practices in considering the various stages that are undertaken in the construction of an archive. The thesis thereby aims to “queer” key notions traditionally associated with archival practice, such as archival sites, arrangement, evidence and users, in order to argue that archives of performance are sites of creative potentiality. The opportunity to test theoretical hypotheses is achieved through my engagement with a collection belonging to Welsh performer and theatre-maker, Eddie Ladd. This self-archived collection, which evidences a career that has already spanned two and a half decades, is at present not deposited institutionally but still exists in a constant state of accumulation as Ladd continues her professional practice. In my use of Ladd’s collection as a case-study, I reflect on the eventful, transitory encounters that I have with her archival materials (as a practical methodology), which results in the archive being conceived as a site of creative potential when examined through a queer epistemological frame. Comprised of three parts, this thesis engages with current scholarship regarding performance and archives and establishes its queer epistemological and deconstructionist strategies in Part 1. Part 2 puts these queer epistemologies into practice by examining the constitutive parts and processes that create an archive. Part 3 proposes a reconceptualisation of the notion of the ‘user’ of archives, comparing the process of examining archival material with issues relating to performance spectatorship and authorship.

Full textAbstract:
"Physics is a function of size ..." The aim of the research is to create a new interactive communication system by 're-cabling' fabrics for releasing fragrances in 21st century fashion design. A new development, taking inspiration from biology, conjures up Multi-Sensorial Fabrics - based around the sense of smell. Using the theory that 'Smell Is Nanotechnology' and that biology works by nano-machines, biological actions can be miniaturised (such as 'sensing' in the animal world) to create an integrated system called 'The Wellness Collection'. Fragrances (and eventually medication, monitoring devices and digital information) will be actively 'pulsed' electronically through a cabling device system which will 'mimic' the human senses and in particular the scent glands in our bodies and be literally incorporated into the fabric structure. Technology with therefore be integrated in fabrics and carried in invisible clothing. The system also acts as a new vehicle for designer perfumes, reducing the application of alcohol on skin and microencapsulation. Traditional textile design concerns passive issues relating to colour and texture (and performance purposes to a certain degree). However, this research concentrates on a more active approach to textile design, introducing the living active garment as a second skin. The aim is to combine a number of contrasting areas from the Arts and Sciences. For example : - Perfumery. Fashion Designs. Textile & Fibre Technologies. Space Age Clothing. Biosensing Techniques. 'Micro Tube' Technology. Fluid Control. 'Smart intelligence'. Human Biology & Psychology. Human Skin, Circulation & Nervous Systems. Medical Textiles. Controlled Drug Delivery Systems. Alternative Therapies. Nanotechnology. Although some might consider this project to be high risk, it is a general fact that creative and 'novel' research originates from multi disciplinary fields. Emphasis on this important fact must be acknowledged throughout the thought process of the following project which is documented as a thorough ‘library’ of valuable research information. The Science Fashion approach may therefore seem very futuristic, but as technology itself reduces in size such an approach becomes increasingly realistic.
