<p>It is ironic that the management of education has become more closed while learning has become more open, particularly over the past 10-20 years. The curriculum has become more instrumental, predictive, standardized, and micro-managed in the belief that this supports employability as well as the management of educational processes, resources, and value. Meanwhile, people have embraced interactive, participatory, collaborative, and innovative networks for living and learning. To respond to these challenges, we need to develop <em>practical tools to help us describe these new forms of learning</em> which are multivariate, self-organised, complex, adaptive, and unpredictable. We draw on complexity theory and our experience as researchers, designers, and participants in open and interactive learning to go beyond conventional approaches. We develop a 3D model of landscapes of learning for exploring the relationship between prescribed and emergent learning in any given curriculum. We do this by repeatedly testing our descriptive landscapes (or footprints) against theory, research, and practice across a range of case studies. By doing this, we have not only come up with a practical tool which can be used by curriculum designers, but also realised that the curriculum itself can usefully be treated as emergent, depending on the dynamics<br />between prescribed and emergent learning and how the learning landscape is curated.</p>

This study approaches the material world of the Neo-Assyrian period in Mesopotamia from the theoretical and methodological standpoint of the field of sensory archaeology. Analysis of relevant royal inscriptions, administrative tablets, bas-reliefs and artefacts excavated from the palaces in the Assyrian capital cities of Nimrud, Khorsabad and Nineveh demonstrates that the Assyrian kings and their courtly advisors participated in activities of biopolitics. The study identifies several phenomena and features of the Assyrian world, including palaces that served as sensorial envelopes, commensal feasts, travelling processions, water-control projects and libation rituals that the Neo-Assyrian royal authority deployed in attempts to control sensory experiences. At the same time, the study reconstructs the sensory experiences of Assyrian bodies as they passed through royally curated structures and landscapes.

One of the primary causes of global cancer-associated mortality is lung cancer (LC). Current improvements in the management of LC rely mainly on the advancement of patient stratification, both molecularly and clinically, to achieve the maximal therapeutic benefit, while most LC screening protocols remain underdeveloped. In this research, we first employed two algorithms (ESTIMATE and xCell) to calculate the immune/stromal infiltration scores. This helped identify the altered immune infiltration landscapes in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC). Afterward, based on their immune-related characteristics, we successfully stratified the LUAD and LUSC into 2 and 3 clusters, respectively. Different from the conventional bioinformatic approaches that start from the investigation of differential expression of single genes, differentially enriched curated gene sets identified through gene set variation analyses (GSVA) were curated, and gene names were reconstructed afterward. Furthermore, weighted gene correlation network analyses (WGCNA) were used to reveal hub genes highly connected with the clustering process. Actual expression levels of critical hub genes among different clusters were compared and so were the functional pathways these genes enriched into. Lastly, a computational method was applied to predict and compare the responses of each cluster to primary therapeutic agents. The heterogeneity presented in our study, along with the drug responses expected for identified clusters, may shed light on future exploration of combination immunochemotherapy that facilitates the optimization of individualized therapy.

Full textAbstract:
Protecting “wilderness” and removing human involvement in “nature” was a core pillar of the modern conservation movement through the 20th century. Conservation approaches and legislation informed by this narrative fail to recognise that Aboriginal people have long valued, used, and shaped most landscapes on Earth. Aboriginal people curated open and fire-safe Country for millennia with fire in what are now forested and fire-prone regions. Settler land holders recognised the importance of this and mimicked these practices. The Land Conservation Act of 1970 in Victoria, Australia, prohibited burning by settler land holders in an effort to protect natural landscapes. We present a 120-year record of vegetation and fire regime change from Gunaikurnai Country, southeast Australia. Our data demonstrate that catastrophic bushfires first impacted the local area immediately following the prohibition of settler burning in 1970, which allowed a rapid increase in flammable eucalypts that resulted in the onset of catastrophic bushfires. Our data corroborate local narratives on the root causes of the current bushfire crisis. Perpetuation of the wilderness myth in conservation may worsen this crisis, and it is time to listen to and learn from Indigenous and local people, and to empower these communities to drive research and management agendas.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The human ability to tell apart reality from fiction is intriguing. Through a range of media, such as novels and movies, we are able to readily engage in fictional worlds and experience alternative realities. Yet even when we are completely immersed and emotionally engaged within these worlds, we have little difficulty in leaving the fictional landscapes and getting back to the day-to-day of our own world. How are we able to do this? How do we acquire our understanding of our real world? How is this similar to and different from the development of our knowledge of fictional worlds? In exploring these questions, this article makes the case for a novel multilevel explanation (called BLINCS) of our implicit understanding of the reality–fiction distinction, namely that it is derived from the fact that the worlds of fiction, relative to reality, are bounded, inference-light, curated, and sparse.

Full textAbstract:
Early Archaic subsistence strategies of New England remain poorly understood despite their importance in helping researchers understand how people adapt to changing landscapes following the end of the last glacial maximum (21,000-14,000 B.P.). Excavations at the Mashantucket Pequot Reservation in Mashantucket, Connecticut during the 1990s revealed a large, semi-sedentary village nestled alongside a complex wetland ecosystem. In this paper, we present preliminary starch grain analysis of several stone tools recovered and curated from these excavations. The results of this study indicate that both transitory and reserve starch grains are preserved on these artifacts and that at least one of the artifacts may have been used for leaf or stem processing. The results of this study also demonstrate the potential for future research in which paired macrobotanical and residue analysis will allow for a better understanding of subsistence practices at the site and during the early Archaic in general.

Questioning whether new music is ‘losing touch’, Lydia Rilling, in her first edition as artistic director of Luxembourg's rainy days festival, curated a programme which sought, via an exploration of ‘the emotional landscapes of contemporary music’, to ‘reveal’ that this is not the case. The festival's scope extended beyond concerts to sound installations, pre- and post-concert talks, an (all female-presented) conference dedicated to the festival topic, a newly affiliated composition academy, and a closing ‘bal contemporain’ which paired Frank Zappa and Alexander Schubert with onion soup, while composers, musicologists and curators let loose after such extensive reflection upon the question that had been posed at every turn, emblazoned on the yellow telephone book-sized festival programmes (from which all quotations in this review are taken), echoed on individual concert programmes, interrogating the listener from the tickets’ fine print: how does it feel?

Full textAbstract:
This article presents a summary of new evidence for the Mesolithic in the Dinaric Alps of Montenegro. The region is one of the best areas in south-eastern Europe to study Early Holocene foragers and the nature of the transition to Neolithic lifeways at the end of the seventh and the beginning of the sixth millennium cal bc thanks to the existence of biodiverse landscapes and numerous karstic features. We argue that harpoons found at two different sites in this regional context represent a curated technology that has its roots in a local Mesolithic cultural tradition. The continued use of this standardized hunting tool kit in the Neolithic provides an important indication about the character of the Mesolithic–Neolithic transition. We also use this regional case study to address wider questions concerning the visibility and modes of Mesolithic occupation in south-eastern Europe as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
In this research, I aim to investigate the interrelationships between people, architecture and the landscape, by asking the question "what is the architect's role in curating place'. The goal of this body of work is to challenge the role of the ‘architect' when working within the context of place. This research, and the design intervention developed a process that challenges the profession by asking: “Should an architect be solely the creator of place, or is the architect a curator of place? The research analyzes existing theories related to the definition and concept of place approached from a wide spectrum of professional expertise overtime to attempt to grasp human being's passion related to the dynamic topic of place. The intent is to create a framework for design that can be adopted, implemented and layered upon any place, to unearth, distill, and better understand its essence.
The rural post-industrial landscape of Western Massachusetts specifically focused around the former paper mill village of Woronoco is the stage for this inquiry. place is anchored equally in the qualitative and quantitative forces that shape it and thus requires an attentive observer, a trained observer, but most importantly a local, inspired observer who is fundamentally attached to that place. As both a landscape architect and architect, I offer a heightened awareness of the patterns and processes or ecology of place especially concerning the occupation and physical impact of humans on the landscape through the built environment. The proposed design interventions will attempt to treat place as a living organism, one that is continuously changing and whose dynamics are interconnected and responsive to a broad range of forces that shape it. A place curation design approach has led me to offer a series of design interventions, and not a proposal for a single building. These interventions will not fulfill a single program or fulfill one specific functional purpose; it will not focus on creating a design typology or use a consistent design language or material palette. Instead, the design will introduce multiple architectonic interventions that are derived almost organically in the landscape, in a manner that will stimulate the continued use and engagement with this place. Human interaction, engagement and interpretation is the essential component to ensuring the longterm sustainability of place, allowing it to continuously evolve and be relevant to future generations.

Internationally known as a writer, Eudora Welty has also been spotlighted as a talented photographer. The prevalent idea remains that Welty simply took snapshots before she found her true calling as a renowned fiction writer. But who was Welty as a photographer? What did she see? How and why did she photograph? And what did Welty know about modern photography? This book elucidates Welty's photographic vision and answers these questions by exploring her photographic archive and writings on photography. The photographs Welty took in the 1930s and 1940s frame her visual response to the cultural landscapes of the segregated South during the Depression. The photobook One Time, One Place, which was selected, curated, and shaped into a visual narrative by Welty herself, serves as a starting point and guide for the chapters on her spatial hermeneutic. The book is divided into sections by locations and offers how the framing of these areas reveals Welty's radical commentary of the spaces her camera captured. There are over eighty images, including some never-before-seen archival photographs, and sections of the book draw on over three hundred more. The chapters on institutional, leisure, and memorial landscapes address how Welty's photographs contribute to, reflect on, and intervene in customary visual constructions of the Depression-era South.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines some of the curate’s eggs of epilepsy. Examples in which the bright light of success is obscured by shadows cast from the dark side. It starts by pointing out the erratic nature in which science has advanced in the modern period, using the theories of causation of epilepsy as an example. This is not a linear path to the stars but a course influenced by societal and political fashion, with many culs-de-sac and wrong turnings, now as much as in the past. It considers, too, the extraordinary bureaucracies which underpin communication in epilepsy today—the journals, the congresses, and the professional organisations—and that govern the regulation of drug therapy. The landscapes within which these bureaucracies operate are often marked by short-termism, politics of the parish pump variety, the impact of often rather tiresome personalities, and the dead hand of regulation and ‘guidance’. There have been steps forward and some reverses, but most is Brownian movement.

Full textAbstract:
Two centuries ago, wealthy entrepreneurs founded the American cathedrals of culture—museums, theater companies, and symphony orchestras—to mirror European art. But today's American arts scene has widened to embrace multitudes: photography, design, comics, graffiti, jazz, and many other forms of folk, vernacular, and popular culture. What led to this dramatic expansion? This book shows how organizational transformations in the American art world—amid a shifting political, economic, technological, and social landscape—made such change possible. By chronicling the development of American art from its earliest days to the present, the book demonstrates that while the American arts may be more open, they are still unequal. It examines key historical moments, such as the creation of the Museum of Primitive Art and the funneling of federal and state subsidies during the New Deal to support the production and display of culture. Charting the efforts to define American genres, styles, creators, and audiences, the book looks at the ways democratic values helped legitimate folk, vernacular, and commercial art, which was viewed as nonelite. Yet, even as art lovers have acquired an appreciation for more diverse culture, they carefully select and curate works that reflect their cosmopolitan, elite, and moral tastes.

Full textAbstract:
Our project was a ‘Big Data’ project in that it used all available digital sources on English archaeology. This chapter introduces our data and the notion that data are characterful, which is to say that they are shaped and influenced by the ways they are created, curated, and used. We outline our approach to making data compatible, and some of the influences on how evidence is preserved and then discovered and recovered. We aimed to experiment with the data, rather than provide any final or definitive interpretation of them. Sources of information on this scale are susceptible to many interpretations and approaches. However, we also hope to have brought out crucial aspects of the archaeological evidence from England and followed many of the main topic areas currently of interest. We end with an evaluation of our working practices and some influences on our results.

Taking advantage of Lima’s rich documentary record, this chapter begins the process of recovering the images, material culture, and devotional interactions of black and indigenous confraternities that have been erased by colonialism. I propose that if we consider each confraternity as a “collection,” we can situate their documented sacred images and possession as “inventory items” that were actively collected and thoughtfully displayed, rather than objects that were passively owned. I argue that black and indigenous confraternities curated their religious and social experiences and, thereby, came to visually define the artistic religious landscape of Lima in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Literary and art critic Andrea O’Reilly Herrera analyzes an itinerant art exhibition known as CAFÉ (Cuban American Foremost Exhibitions), curated by Leandro Soto (b. 1956) since 2001. O’Reilly Herrera argues that the artists participating in this exhibition raise many of the same issues as earlier vanguardia artists in Cuba, including the significance of the island’s African and Indigenous roots, landscape, and architecture, although they do not claim to represent the entire Cuban diaspora. Still, O’Reilly Herrera’s analysis of the artworks of several cafeteros, such as Soto, José Bedia, and Raúl Villarreal, identifies recurrent themes and common concerns, especially with displacement and transculturation that, in the end, “allude to the all-embracing nature of Cuban culture itself.”

The third chapter examines global urbanism as postcolonial. It concentrates on colonialism’s role in physically, ecologically and culturally re-structuring cities around the world, emphasizing the colonial shaping of urban landscapes –parks and botanical gardens - in Zanzibar and Port of Spain. The chapter shows the divergent, contested and reshaped character of the urban ecologies of these two settings in post-colonial times. British colonialism’s urban parks and gardens in both settings are the focus. Robert Orchard Williams, who served as curator of the botanic gardens of both colonies, serves as a foil for reflecting on the colonial legacy’s different refractions in these two post-colonial settings. The chapter also shows the agency of ordinary people in changing the environmental-spatial structure over time.

This chapter takes up the cast of characters involved in setting the story of peaceful colonization in motion: the sculptor Cyrus Dallin and his engagement with the Massasoit in fashioning and casting Massasoit; the Improved Order of Red Men and the Massasoit Memorial Association in their imaginings of the Massasoit's role in creating the nation; and the Pilgrim Society, which provided the site for the original installation within a curated memorial landscape in Plymouth. This chapter argues that those who commissioned the original statue in Plymouth believed that men could prove their patriotism by possessing and appropriating Indians. When the statue was copied and took up residence in various locations, it continued to serve a related purpose in these different places over time. The statue filled the need in American popular culture for an innocent and innocuous reframing of the nation's founding principles of taking and profiting from Indigenous people.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter applies an object-oriented feminist lens to Q1 Hamlet in order to explore Ofelia’s placement as a cyborg figuration. Q1’s legacy as a trash(ed)-compacted variant text flattens the play’s contours into an autotopography which can be mined in object-oriented and object-ified terms. Rather than squashing herself into a Shakespearean “Flat Stanley,” Q1 Ofelia instead strews dimensional traces of herself throughout the landscape, a tangible and tradable memento vivere of the life she actively unmakes. As such, Ofelia contours herself into a posthuman figuration through the compulsion to give prosthetic markers of her own body away and therefore we might consider Ofelia the imaginary opposite of a kleptomaniac: a dispensaniac, aiming to heal her own trauma through the distribution of her embodied suffering. By examining Ofelia’s dispensania, this chapter will also explore those characters driven to lust after and to treasure her dimensional memorabilia inside of Hamlet’s Flatland and to collect it all, even in (her) death. This chapter argues that Ofelia’s entanglement with objects invites a posthuman intervention into Hamlet’s landscape focused on an agential Ofelia that curates her own afterlife, opening up a feminist posthuman channel inside of Shakespeare’s already-cyborg text.

Full textAbstract:
The Supertight refers to the small, intense, robust and hyper-condensed spaces that emerge as a by-product of extreme levels of urban density. These ideas were explored through a site-specific architectural installation and curated exhibition that was held in Melbourne in 2019 and drew on contributions from practitioners throughout Asia to explore the role of design in negotiating and expressing density in urban environments. The project explored the term ‘Tight’ as a positive and more nuanced approached to thinking about urban density. If the Supertight is focused on cities, its consequence is equally on the landscapes that support cities. While we as architects focus on the object of density, the centre of cities – their organisation, occupation and formal characteristics, we often overlook the vast hinterland that supports dense urban cores. Cities such as Singapore and Hong Kong, which were explored heavily through the exhibition and are in many ways models of the physical and social management of extreme density, are equally exemplars of cities that rely heavily on supply chains that stretch well beyond their borders. This paper will build upon discussions emerging from the Supertight exhibition and will critically reflect upon and document the relationship between dense urban cores and the broader networks that support their existence. While urban density and compact cities are generally understood to be more sustainable than sprawl, to what extent does the close settlement of cities result in an expansion of terrain and resources to support them? Do dense cities require more to enable their existence, and how does behaviour and patterns of consumption impact that potential for density to be sustainable? The paper will explore how productive landscapes that support dense cities be absorbed within dense urban cores, and what would need to shift to enable this.

Viviamo strani giorni, tempi di rapide accelerazioni, cambiamenti sociali e trasformazioni
ambientali stressanti, che richiedono soluzioni contenitive e culturali improcrastinabili. Poniamo
il caso di Acireale, città insulare di circa 50.000 abitanti, posta lungo la costa orientale sicula,
stretta fra l’azzurra ionia marina, il nero del Vulcano Etna e il sempreverde degli agrumi. Il

continuità storica di frequentazione in una porzione ampia di suolo vulcanico denominato
Timpa. Nel corso dei secoli, le comunità hanno identificato in questo unico complesso lavico un
salubre avamposto su cui migrare, tendenzialmente da Sud a Nord, fino a stanziarsi sul pianoro
su cui sorge la città di Acireale. In età recente, la maggior crescita edilizia ha consumato
pregevoli parti di terreno agricolo, inducendo uno sprawl urbano verso l’entroterra ed
esponendo la Timpa a grandi rischi generati dalla progressiva assenza di organici interventi
d’assetto territoriale. Questo contesto storico e paesaggistico aspetta d’essere attraversato,
curato e valorizzato per ricomporre di quei valori percettivi che giacciono latenti nella memoria
collettiva. La riqualificazione della Timpa può essere il tema per l’infrastrutturazione geografica
con cui ri-connettere le inevitabili istanze di trasformazione urbana all’improrogabile sviluppo
sostenibile del territorio acese. We live in strange days, periods of rapid acceleration, with stressful social changes and
environmental changes, which require cultural solutions. Take the case of Acireale, city of about
50.000 inhabitants, located along the eastern coast of Sicily, between the Ionio sea, Mount Etna
and evergreen citrus. The landscape of Aci holds geomorfologie and ancient memories.
Over the centuries, communities have identified in this unique building of lava a place healthy
where migrate, from South to North. In recent years, the growth of buildings has consumed
valuable pieces of agricultural land, causing urban sprawl inland and exposing the Timpa large
risks generated by the progressive absence of organic interventions of regional planning. This
historical context and landscape is waiting to be crossed, edited and enhanced. The project of
the Timpa may be the theme for re-connect the inevitable instances of urban transformation at
the sustainable development of the territory.
