Abstract:
This thesis summarily examines the concepts of moment, momentariness (ksanikavada) and impermanence (anitya) in Indian Buddhism, especially in the influential treatises produced by Vasubandhu (fifth century A.D.) An expose of impermanence and momentariness is at once a fair picture of the religious philosophy that mostly was Indian Buddhism--a religion appropriate on the philosophical level.

Full text
Abstract:
Entropy is a process of gradual decline as a system loses the strength to maintain itself. It begins with disorder and results in complete transformation. As a multi-cultural American, it has been my experience that the maintenance of my Iranian heritage parallels this concept. A method of visual communication that incorporates entropy is able to express notions of impermanence, disorder and transformation. This project is focused on employing entropy in the process of design and image making by using the transformation of my cultural identity as primary content.

Abstract:
This thesis is about the heritage in Vientiane. In an attempt to go beyond a more traditional descriptive approach, the study aims at bringing forward a discussion about the definition, or rather the multiplicity of definitions, of the concept of heritage as such. The unavoidabe tension emanating from a modern western frame of thought being applied to the geographical and cultural setting of the study provides an opportunity to develop a criticism of some of the assumptions underlying our current definitions of heritage. For this particular study, heritage is defined as to include stories, places and things. It is a heritage that is complex and ambiguous, because the stories are parallel, the definitions and perceptions of place are manifold and contested, and the things and their meaning appear altered, depending on what approach to materiality is used. The objective is not to propose how to identify and manage such a complex heritage. Rather, it is about what causes this complexity and ambiguity and what is in between the stories, places and things. In addition, the study aims to critically deconstruct the contemporary heritage discourse, which privileges material authenticity, form and fabric and the idea that heritage values are universal and should be preserved for the future and preferably forever. In Laos, Buddhism dominates as religious practice. In this context, the notion of material impermanence also governs the perception of reality. Approaches to materiality in Buddhism are related to the general ideas that things are important from a contemporary perspective and primarily as containers for spiritual values, that the spiritual values carry the connection to the past, and that heritage is primarily spiritual in nature and has little to do with physical structure and form. By exploring the concepts of restoration, destruction and consumption in such a perspective, we understand that preservation and restoration are active processes of materialisation. We also understand that destruction and consumption are necessary for the appreciation of certain heritage expressions, and that heritage is being constantly created. With this understanding, this book is an argument for challenging contemporary western heritage discourse and question its fundamental ideology of preservationism.

Gee, Sarah. "An exploration of impermanence in contemporary ceramic art practice." Thesis, University of Sunderland, 2016. http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/8320/.

Full text
Abstract:
This practice-led research investigates clay-based impermanent creativity, exploring this means of expression as a contribution to knowledge in the expanded field of contemporary ceramic art practice. The research considers recent developments in innovative work by practitioners from the ceramic tradition, characterised by unconventional uses of material, natural decay and weathering, deliberate destruction, performance and physicality. A key aspect of the research exploration is phenomenographic alignment of personal praxical development with that of contemporaries sharing backgrounds in the ceramic tradition. A case study approach based on a reflexive Schönian and Kolbian cycle is utilised and research material is viewed from trans-disciplinary perspectives to explore and elucidate its nature, impacts and implications. Impermanence in clay is found to de-familiarise art work, altering and enhancing the creative role of percipients. Relationships between work, maker and percipient are explored. Mediatisation of impermanent clay-based art is considered for its impact on work’s reception and interpretation. A perceptible shift is detected in such art practice from the arena of visual art towards that of performance, moving artist and audience relationships towards shared ownership in ceramic creativity, in which co-presence of work and percipient are essential. Aspects of relational aesthetics offer a cogent framework. Consideration is given to clay’s shared significance with other basic materials such as textile in holding meaning beyond its physicality. The thesis contributes to the discourse on methodological frameworks for practice-led research and to academic writing on contemporary ceramic art in its exploration of clay-based impermanence, encompassing maker intentionality, material alteration and destruction, site/location and significance, performativity and unrepeatability, and record. It provides a transferable research model for considering creative impermanence. Areas identified for further research include artist/audience relationships and the nature of creativity, the role of location, performativity as an aspect of contemporary practice, and curation of performance and impermanence.

Abstract:
Change is a constant reminder that permanence is the ultimate illusion. It is through the creation of hyper-realistic, ceramic sculpture that I explore the relationship between nature, humans, and the phenomenon of impermanence. I seek to expose the beauty that often results from decay while, at the same time, making my viewer question their own perception of the world around them. The juxtaposition of natural and man-made features in combination with the skewing of scale, proportion, and material, creates an altered perspective – forcing the viewer to look closer. By combining both human and natural elements within my work I highlight the fact that we are not separate from nature but are, in fact, part of it.

Abstract:
My project reflects upon our body's impermanence and our efforts to balance the enormity of the concept of mortality with living every day. It investigates the condition of being that one cannot permit oneself to know too often, that is, the condition of, inhabiting a body through which one engages meaningfully with the world as a conscious being, but aware that this body will die. Within this framework, I investigate concepts of consciousness, sentience, and impermanence. These are concepts that are not clearly delineated in experience. There is a need to grasp them by means of other concepts that are understood in clearer terms. Using the quotidian experiences of food preparation, eating and the domestic as metaphorical tools, I delve into these themes. As I worked with these ideas the wider possibilities, both material and conceptual became evident. I expanded the initial medium of food to encompass personal objects and daily bodily processes in my attempt to probe complicated feelings about the impermanence of my own body. The project matured into a closer examination of what could be read as signs in every day life, of my body's vulnerability to death. The specific areas of focus are: Skin, Reanimation of the inanimate, Mouth, Concepts of the internal, Organs, Offal, Transmogrification, Organic destiny. Beginning with the skin that we are encased in, I used my body as an armature to produce a facsimile of my own hollowed-out empty skin. In Reanimation of the inanimate, I explore the continuum from preserved food to fermented food investigating the development from food as organic material whose life had passed to food as organic material in which change is an indicator of ongoing life. In the section titled Mouth, I consider the concept of exploring the world with one's mouth and the notion of anti-food. Introduced in Concepts of the internal are three investigations of the internal human body: anatomical illustrations from the sixteenth century, a cinematic portrayal from 1966 that has included in its subtext a spiritual journey, and a current project in which the internal human body is seen as purely scientific data. In Organs I investigate the idea of ingesting 'properties of character' that can be culturally associated with internal organs and the possibility that such characteristics could permeate the person ingesting them. In the section titled Offal, I propose that the polarity of life and death inherent in food is most evident when eating a meal of offal. In Transmogrificaation, I consider the conundrum of my internal organs, that is, they are mine in fact they are 'me' and at the same time they are foreign to me. In this section, I also investigate the concept of my body as a conduit with the ability to transport and transform matter. Finally, in Organic destiny I posit the notion that as bodies we are an ongoing process, an accumulation of matter built up over time and that we are small participants in a much bigger phenomenon.

Abstract:
My final thesis exhibition, Effluvia and Aporia, explores impermanence, loss and uncertainty. I use materials and images in a poetic way, where there is a link between what the work is and what it means. I use looped videos with images of water, light, and dissolving clay to invite a meditative state. I also use materials like tissue paper, paper-mache, and paper thin porcelain tiles to invite fragility and complexity into the viewer's experience. I am concerned with creating an interactive environment that allows for a multiplicity of responses and interpretations from each viewer depending on their unique perceptions. I am interested in impermanence, loss and uncertainty as themes because I find that they are ever present in life. My intention is to explore these ideas and create an experience that allows for the viewer to reflect on them as well.

Neste projeto pretendo realizar séries de desenhos, gravuras e pinturas tendo o jardim como tema central. Para realizá-lo, buscarei referências em minhas memórias pessoais, particularmente as relacionadas com o pequeno jardim da casa de subúrbio de minha infância, e nos jardins concebidos por poetas e artistas, no que possam ter de pequenos, modestos, delicados e instáveis. Esta impermanência ou efemeridade inerente a este tema será refletida durante a invenção e feitura das obras, através da exploração da instabilidade, dos possíveis limites e fronteiras, passagens e caminhos, afastamentos e aproximações entre a pintura, o desenho e a gravura.
In this project, I intend to perform series of drawings, prints and paintings with the garden as the central theme. To accomplish it, I will look for references in my personal memories, particularly those related to the small garden of the suburban house of my childhood, and in the gardens designed by poets and artists, in what they may have of small, modest, delicate and unstable. This impermanence or ephemerality inherent at this theme will be reflected during the invention and production of the works, through the exploration of the instability and of the possible limits and borders, passages and paths, separations and approximations between painting, drawing and printmaking.

Abstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
A proposta do trabalho é analisar como a morte é entendida pela visão da hipermodernidade e pela visão do Budismo. Na contemporaneidade cuja lógica capitalista é embasada na lógica do mercado onde o consumo assume o papel principal, a morte se tornou um tabu, onde ela é evitada, esvaziada de sentido e descaracterizada. A dor e o sofrimento são depreciados e é exigido do homem uma inabalável postura performática e um desempenho cada vez melhor. Há ainda a crença de que o discurso tecnocientífico trará todas as soluções para as mazelas humanas. A felicidade é, portanto, um imperativo da sociedade hipermoderna e sua busca é exteriorizada isentando os indivíduos de um olhar crítico. Assim, a morte e o luto perdem seu lugar para a busca incessante de satisfação e bem-estar. O Budismo tem uma lógica que segue na contramão. Ensina que a existência humana no Samsara é constituída por principalmente quatro sofrimentos básicos: nascimento, envelhecimento, doença e morte. O Budismo ensina que a morte, assim como a vida, é um fenômeno comum a todos os seres vivos e que o exercício budista possibilita compreender o real significado da vida e da morte. A meditação sobre a impermanência, uma das práticas budistas, visa familiarizar o adepto budista a três pensamentos: certamente vou morrer; a hora da minha morte é totalmente incerta e na hora da minha morte e, depois dela, só a prática do Dharma vai me ajudar. Postula que para alcançar a verdadeira felicidade o homem deve provocar uma mudança interior, exercitar a compaixão e se desapegar da crença de que os fenômenos são permanentes e imutáveis. Tais considerações foram possíveis a partir da pesquisa sobre o Budismo da Nova Tradição Kadampa a partir de uma metodologia etnográfica que incluíram visitas ao campo de estudo, a confecção de um diário de campo e a realização de entrevistas com os praticantes budistas da Nova Tradição Kadampa.
This work goal is to analyze how the experience of death is understood at the hypermodernity and Buddhist view. In the contemporary in which prevails the capitalistic logic that is based on the market logic towards which the consumption takes the main role, the experience of death has become a taboo, so it ends being avoided, made empty of any sense and so mischaracterized. The pain and the suffering are depreciated and man sees himself being required to have an indestructible performing posture summed to an even better efficient behavior towards this experience. There is also the belief that technological and scientific arguments will bring to humanity all the needed solutions in respect to mankind wounds. Happiness is so the imperative order at the hypermodern societies and its search is externalized from the individuals making them absents of a so called more critical overview. The experience of death and of mourning has lost room enough to the continuously search for satisfaction and well being sensations. The Buddhism and its logic are heading exactly in the opposite direction. It teaches that the mankind existence experience into the so called Samsara is mainly made of four basic suffering experiences: birth, becoming elder, unhealthy lives and death. The Buddhism teaches that the experience of death, as the experience of living, is a common phenomenon that reaches all living creatures and that the Buddhism practice allows the individual to comprehend the real meaning of life and death. The meditation about the impermanence, one of the Buddhist practices, looks for to help and make three different thoughts familiar to the ones adepts of Buddhism: Certainly I will die; My dying moment is totally uncertain and at my death experience moment and, after it, only the Dharma practice can help me. The Buddhism states that to reach the true happiness the men must look for an inside change, practice the compassion and break free from the belief that phenomenons in life are permanent and unchangeable. These above mentioned statements were possible according to the research done about Buddhism on the New Kadampa Tradition through an ethnographic methodology which included visits to the study field, a field diary as their product and interviews with Buddhism practitioners at the Kadampa New Tradition.

Esta é a dissertação que revela a investigação teórico-prática intitulada Geofagia:corpos cerâmicos, corpos híbridos, para conclusão de curso de mestrado. As reflexões sobre o tema em análise levam à compreensão das motivações e implicações presentes no processo de construção da obra, e da experimentação, em que foi utilizada uma técnica milenar tradicional, a cerâmica, que deu origem à cerâmica enquanto linguagem visual contemporânea híbrida. Durante o desenvolvimento desse trabalho, que teve o corpo como referência e a materialidade como tema, foram investigados outros materiais, além da argila, na construção de objeto, além de fotografia e instalação, dialogando com conceitos de registro,permanência/impermanêcia, memória, espaço e tempo. Tomando por base reflexões prático-teóricas, pretendeu-se realizar uma pesquisa que tivesse a obra como objeto de estudo, considerando o seu processo de instauração e a possibilidade de outros devires. No decorrer da construção dos objetos, instalações e esculturas, na qual a cerâmica foi utilizada como o principal meio de expressão com possibilidades híbridas, refletiu-se sobre aspectos contemporâneos da arte, identificados na pesquisa em questão, capazes de possibilitar a comunicação entre arte e outros conhecimentos afins, com a utilização de uma metodologia específica em artes visuais, a Poiética. Os autores eleitos para dar embasamento teórico à investigação foram Gaston Bachelard, Roland Barthes,Henri Bergson e Georges Didi-Huberman.

Abstract:
The English-language translations of Jorge Luis Borges’s Spanish-language works undertaken by the author and Norman Di Giovanni went above and beyond what is generally perceived as acceptable in traditional Western practices. Their work, together with Borges’s thoughts on translation itself, garnered criticism from within Western Translation Studies for its rejection of the status of the original text and the blurring of the distinction between author and translator. Yet the pair’s actions and Borges’s views on translation cease to appear scandalous under the light of Buddhist philosophy, particularly through the use of the Buddhist principles that all phenomena are impermanent and interdependent. This thesis will seek to use these ideas to legitimize the actions of Borges and Di Giovanni. To do so, it will trace the history of opposing and convergent theories from Western philosophy and describe our Buddhist concepts in detail. In order to better understand Borges, it will examine the array of philosophies that influenced the writer and how they both align themselves and differ from Buddhist ideas. This thesis will end by directly applying impermanence and interdependence to the translation practices of Borges and Di Giovanni and considering what potential effect legitimacy for such practices would have on translation overall.

Abstract:
This paper presents an investigation in how a jewelry artist understands the life and death, permanence and impermanence of human, objects, and other creatures, by communicating still life in the form of jewelry. I will bring up a fact that death and impermanence have been forgotten by my peers, and use still life and contemporary jewelry to discuss it. The paper mainly talks about: my opinion upon life and death in modern society, why and how did I related them with still life paintings, how did I make my jewelry based on still life, and discusst a dilemma I met: how will jewelry be when they are on and not on people’s body.

Esta dissertação, intitulada Claustro: Abrigo de Tempo e Memória, trata de um percurso interior, uma identidade intimista permeada pelo Tempo e pela Memória.Evidencia uma atitude contemporânea de expressão e de relacionamento com o espaço e com a arte como forma de depuração e de identificação simultaneamente.Neste processo criativo, materializado nas pinturas e objetos, como linguagens contemporâneas, foram questionadas a impermanência e a brevidade da vida.APRESSA-TE LENTAMENTE! Usou-se o tempo como matéria; a pátina, que permanece como memória na superfície dos objetos – os quais incitam a imaginação – foi conservada e reverenciada como sinal de alerta e de nobreza. Oferro assumiu destaque na construção das obras, ora como matéria, ora como suporte, pontuando o seu caráter misterioso e provocador e estimulando reflexões sobre a passagem do tempo. A forma metodológica adotada foi a poiética, que se mostrou capaz de amparar e delinear o corpo teórico, além de permitir o desenvolvimento de conceitos necessários ao processo de criação e instauração das obras desta investigação.

Abstract:
There has been an increasing recognition over the last ten years of the importance of integrating palliative care alongside other aspects of care for people with life-limiting illness including kidney disease. Over the same time period, policy initiatives have aimed to address and improve the end of life care for all adults with kidney disease. However, little is known about the transitions experienced by people with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) as they approach the end of life. This qualitative study explored the transitions experienced by people with ESKD as they approached the end of their lives. A constructivist grounded theory methodology was used, and unstructured interviews were conducted with twelve people living with ESKD who were deemed to be approaching the end of their lives. The interview data were analysed and interpreted using the constant comparative method. The core category of ‘restructuring reality’ emerged from the data analysis alongside three dynamic, interrelated conceptual categories and the subcategories within these. These conceptual categories were: ‘striving to maintain autonomy and control in decision making’, ‘managing uncertainty: knowing without clarity or confirmation’, and ‘the importance of personal virtues in transitioning through the illness’. The substantive theory which emerged from the data analysis and which conceptualised the process and experience of transition for people with ESKD in this study was defined as 'the restructuring of reality during transition for people with ESKD approaching the end of life’. The study findings provided valuable insight into the experience of people with ESKD as they approach the end of their lives. The tentative theory presented in this study added to the knowledge of the transitions experienced by people with ESKD as they approached the end of their life. The theory captured how participants made sense of and adjusted to the changes they experienced as their health deteriorated; it emphasised that being able to continue to contribute and be involved in decision-making about care was an important aspect of the transition process as people approached the end of their lives. The study findings also highlighted the importance of healthcare professionals undertaking end of life discussions with patients throughout their illness trajectory to ensure people with ESKD are afforded the opportunity to be involved in timely decision making and provided with good quality end of life care.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis undertakes a Buddhist reading of Mary Oliver’s oeuvre. It seeks to fill a palpable lacuna in extant criticism of her work, which tends to adopt Romantic, Feminist, Ecocritical, and Christian viewpoints. Thus far, no criticism has offered a sustained reading of her work from a specifically Buddhist stance. The thesis is structured in five chapters. The introductory chapter is followed by a literature review. The next three chapters are devoted to the Buddhist themes of Mindfulness, Interconnection, and Impermanence respectively. Each chapter opens with detailed consideration of its respective theme before moving on to the analysis and amplification of poems pertinent to it. In addition, the main Buddhist theme of each chapter is subdivided into its component sub-themes or corollaries. The main methodological approach to Oliver’s poetry comprises explication de texte as this makes provision for detailed readings of the texts themselves. Furthermore, this approach has been adopted because it allows for in-depth exploration of Oliver’s literary devices, three notable examples of which are anaphora, adéquation, and correspondence. In the course of the discussion, reference is also made to the influence of Imagism and, more specifically, the Japanese haiku tradition insofar as they impact on her poetry. This discussion is intended to give some indication of Oliver’s place within the American poetic tradition. The predominant subject-matter of her corpus is an all-encompassing view of the natural world with its birth-life-decay-death cycle. She does not flinch from addressing the harsh and violent aspects of nature as well as its exuberance and beauty. Her unifying topos is being the bride of amazement as witness to the natural world. For her readers, this witnessing translates into an inner, potentially transformative process, ultimately integrating mind and heart. The thesis concludes with a list of references and a glossary of the Buddhist terms.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation explores value-creation in interaction design through practical collaborations with studio craftspersons. A focus is on the meaning of “preciousness” from a design perspective – what I refer to as Making Preciousness –  which highlights aspects of material properties, design processes, and the attitude to the design space. Theoretically, the work takes inspiration from the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, which is based on the fact that things are impermanent, incomplete, and imperfect. This reflects a view of preciousness beyond notions of practical use, luxury or monetary cost. In addition to theoretical studies, I engaged in practice-based research at the intersection of interaction design and studio crafts, in the domains of leather, silversmith and textile crafting. Through an approach that blends these practices with the making of interactive artefacts, preciousness for interaction design was explored. Through this work, I extract three qualities, all of which are closely linked to attributes and values ​​embedded in the craft practices examined. I refer to these as resourceful composition, material sensuality and the aiming for mattering artefacts. Resourceful composition refers to approaching a design space “resourcefully”, meaning that the designer actively values and uses the specific qualities of materials and tools consciously, for what they are suitable for. Material sensuality is about appreciating the sensory experience of interacting with materials, arriving through particular material qualities, such as texture, temperature or smell, but also interactive qualities. Aiming for mattering artefacts involves actively designing for impermanence, incompleteness and imperfection, and through that contributing to notions of preciousness through use, care, ownership and interaction between users and artefacts over time. The attitude of making preciousness can be seen as tying together materials and making with user experiences of computational artefacts. For interaction design, this points towards making processes in which computation and material knowledge, craftsmanship and aesthetic intentions are placed at the core. These values ​​relate to cultural, but also sensual experiences, which can be seen as under-explored in the design of interactive products.

Abstract:
El vaciado de recipientes y ductos es un proceso frecuente en la operación de sistemas hidráulicos. Empero, salvo en el caso de las grandes protecciones de máquinas (chimeneas de equilibrio o tanques neumáticos) es un tema relativamente poco tratado o que se resuelve a veces en forma superficial, por no decir arbitraria. En el presente trabajo se analiza el fenómeno del vaciado de diferentes sistemas, en cada uno de ellos se determinan los parámetros adimensionales relevantes, a partir de los cuales es posible comprender el fenómeno en cuestión y determinar la correcta aplicabilidad de diferentes modelos que estudian los transientes hidráulicos, ellos son: el modelo cuasiestático, el modelo inercial rígido y el modelo de columna elástica. En cada resolución se han determinado las velocidades experimentadas a lo largo del fenómeno, el itinerario de vaciado y su duración total. A continuación se resumen las consideraciones y resultados obtenidos para los sistemas estudiados. Vaciado de un ducto inclinado: El fenómeno se ha caracterizado a través de parámetros adimensionales asociados a las pérdidas friccionales y singulares. Se han determinado las circunstancias para las cuales el modelo cuasiestático difiere del modelo de columna rígida. También se ha dado validez al uso de un coeficiente de fricción fijo y se ha determinado que el uso del modelo elástico no presenta diferencias significativas frente al modelo de columna rígida. Vaciado de un ducto horizontal: Se ha estudiado la primera fase del vaciado, en la cual se produce una onda o cavidad que avanza hacia aguas arriba. Durante este vaciado parcial, la fracción de líquido vaciada con respecto al volumen total y el ángulo que se forma en la sección de salida del ducto están completamente determinados, los otros parámetros del escurrimiento son constantes y sólo dependen de dicho ángulo y del diámetro del ducto. Vaciado de un tanque cilíndrico de sección constante: Aquí se han determinado las circunstancias necesarias para que la aproximación cuasiestática sea válida, en otras palabras bajo cuales condiciones la fórmula de Torricelli se cumple localmente en función de la razón entre el diámetro del tanque y el orificio de salida por donde se drena el líquido. Vaciado de un tanque de sección variable: El estudio se limitó a tanques verticales de revolución que vierten por el fondo, esto está cerca de los relojes hidráulicos o clepsidras. Como ejemplo, se ha estudiado una parábola de cuarto grado, para la cual la velocidad del vaciado se mantiene notablemente constante. De esta forma, el itinerario puede verse que es una línea recta. Vaciado de dos líneas que convergen a un drenaje común: El problema se ha solucionado con el modelo inercial rígido con un coeficiente de fricción constante. Los parámetros importantes que caracterizan el fenómeno se relacionan con la capacidad de evacuación de la válvula y la fricción en el sistema. Aquí se han mostrando diversos fenómenos que pueden darse en este tipo de drenajes.

Abstract:
The Art of Presence: Contemplation, Communing and Creativity reflects on the making of a dance theatre work called Song of Longing presented at Victorian College of the Arts in 2008. Song of Longing was made in collaboration with the cast, who participated in a process centred on improvisation. The resulting performance was a synergy of dance and unaccompanied singing.
The thesis is an investigation of the choreographer's ongoing exploration of movement, singing and improvisation, informed by Buddhist philosophy. Both the writing and the performance mirror an embodied practice - making tangible themes and concepts that have emerged into consciousness.
Central interests include the ‘life-world’ of the artist and its influence on the creative process, the concepts of spirituality, spirit and ‘flow’, the experiential focus of the inquiry, improvisation as presence and the value of art as healing and therapy.
While the perspective of the writing is drawn from the subjectivity of the practitioner, the aim of the work is to draw on the broader fields of research in these areas and to connect with the creative practices of other artists. To this end, a conventional survey of the literature has been augmented by writings and teachings on Buddhism and other spiritual practices, documentaries and visual art. Interviews with artists in Australia and India and thoughts from the performers of Song of Longing are also included.

Abstract:
Guild's Lake Courts was built as temporary worker housing for the steel and shipyard industries during World War II. The massive housing development in Northwest Portland consisted of 2,432 units of housing, five community buildings, five childcare centers, a grade school and a fire station. Guild's Lake Courts was the eighth largest housing project built at that time in the United States. The peak population in January 1945 was approximately 10,000 individuals. Archival research, face-to-face oral histories, and resident reunions were used to explore the social, architectural and political history of Guild's Lake Courts. The lens for understanding how the community operated is dominantly for the social history that of a childhood homefront experience. Four wartime themes emerged in this study: 1) that Portland's focus on prejudice dimmed during the war years, 2) that the community was a confluence of humanity, 3) that the design of the site and the housing was shaped by a convergence of New Deal innovations in design construction technologies and electrification and 4) that there was a willingness to sacrifice creature comforts during the war years. Guild's Lake Courts as a residential community under went three rapid evolutions prior to its demolition in 1951, a wartime housing operation 1942-1945, affordable housing 1945-1948, and a haven for Vanport Refugees June 1948-1950. Guild's Lake Courts history has been overlooked but it offers insights into the possible fate of the residents of Vanport City had the community not been flooded in 1948. The story of Guild's Lake Courts is a counterpoint story to Vanport City the largest of the three defense housing projects in Oregon that admitted African-Americans during the war years.

Abstract:
La finalidad de nuestro trabajo es probar que el budismo zen atraviesa La iluminación de Katzuo Nakamatsu. Esta novela se puede ubicar dentro de la importante tradición muy trabajada de la narrativa urbana en donde pululan personajes marginales y conflictuados, a quienes se suele denominar antihéroes, debido a que su configuración se opone a la del héroe virtuoso y victorioso de la tradición literaria.1 Nuestro protagonista Katzuo Nakamatsu puede ser también considerado un antihéroe por su condición marginal dentro del mundo ficcional y por la falta de agencia que él muestra sobre su porvenir. La particularidad de esta obra radica en que el carácter desgraciado de nuestro héroe, a diferencia de la valoración negativa que obtendría en un mundo dominado por una lógica occidental, resulta positivo visto desde la lógica zen que atraviesa toda la novela. Es decir, el ente organizador es el budismo zen, cuyos preceptos, sufren una serie de modificaciones para adaptarse a los sucesos históricos que fueron determinantes para la configuración de la comunidad migrante japonesa en el Perú y los recursos literarios relacionados con la narrativa popular y urbana heredera de la tradición literaria de los cincuentas. Mostrar la imbricación de todos estos aspectos requerirá el empleo del budismo zen como principal marco teórico. Luego, podremos identificar en la descripción de los espacios y la organización de los episodios de la historia de la migración, patrones semánticos que nos lleven a conectar el descubrimiento de dicha historia con parte del proceso en el camino hacia la iluminación. Esta labor va de la mano con la identificación de aspectos formales no solo para validar nuestras propuestas, sino para reconocer el valor literario de la obra en cuanto a objeto artístico. Por último, a partir del análisis que desarrollaremos, afirmamos que Higa propone que la identidad del sujeto es naturalmente impermanente, inconclusa y se encuentra fragmentada.

[EN] Abstract The paper in Geido: Instruction, practice and creation from the perspective of Far East Keywords: Washi, Geido, papermaking, impermanence, art practice, Kensho, nature, art education, paper from plant fibers, Zen Buddhism. This study presents a reflection on the meaning in the the art of papermaking practice, from a historical perspective as a witness of the development of human culture, through its transmission across East, thanks to the trips made by Buddhist monks in spreading the Dharma; and from the perspective of the practice of art taken from our workshop experience as a way to approach life as a quest for knowledge and a process of creation. Both views lead us to the same meeting point, the Geido, or the traditional way of art of Zen Buddhism; path that is fundamentally based on the process, which is originated in the transition from Taoism to Buddhism (the Tao to D¿), and that walks without having as ultimate goal the result, but the knowledge of our own nature that progressively is opening to the apprentice through the disciplined practice of an art, by the hand of a mentor or teacher. From this course, we will expose various aspects involving the art of papermaking, focusing mainly on the art of washi, or Japanese paper, which encompasses the most characteristic aspects of this pathway with a deep spiritual and philosophical basis, as is the observation, the transformation of the nature and the meaning containing meditative practice; and took them to the field of higher education to be proposed as a method of observing, learning, and knowledge of the art of papermaking and all the arts intimately linked with nature.
[ES] Resumen EL PAPEL EN EL GEIDO- Enseñanza, praxis y creación desde la mirada de Oriente Palabras Clave: washi; Geido; papel hecho a mano; impermanencia; práctica del arte; kensho; naturaleza; educación en el arte; papel de fibras vegetales; budismo Zen. Este estudio presenta una reflexión sobre el sentido que ha tenido la práctica del arte del papel hecho a mano, desde una perspectiva histórica como testigo del desarrollo de la cultura del hombre, a través de su transmisión por todo Oriente, gracias a los viajes realizados por los monjes budistas en su difusión del Dharma; y desde una perspectiva de la práctica del arte tomada desde nuestra experiencia de taller como una forma de abordar la vida, como búsqueda de conocimiento y como proceso de creación. Ambas visiones nos conducen al mismo punto de encuentro, el Geido, o la vía del arte tradicional del budismo Zen; camino que se basa fundamentalmente en el proceso, cuyo origen se encuentra en la transición del Taoísmo al Budismo (del Tao al Do), y que se va recorriendo sin tener como objetivo final el resultado, sino el conocimiento de la propia naturaleza que progresivamente se va abriendo al aprendiz a través de la práctica disciplinada de un arte, de la mano de un mentor o maestro. Desde este recorrido, vamos exponiendo diversos aspectos que involucran el arte del papel hecho a mano, focalizándonos principalmente en el arte del washi o papel japonés, que engloba los aspectos más característicos de esta vía con una profunda base espiritual y filosófica, como es la observación, la transformación de la naturaleza y el sentido meditativo que contiene su práctica; y lo llevamos al ámbito de la educación superior para proponerlo como método de observación, aprendizaje y conocimiento del arte del papel y de todo arte vinculado íntimamente con la naturaleza.

Abstract:
Vaikai sudaro penktadalį visų Lietuvos gyventojų. Lietuvai atgavus nepriklausomybę teko susidurti su daugybe problemų: tai plintanti narkomanija, alkoholizmas, pornografija, bedarbystė ir kt. Dėl to daugėja Lietuvoje be priežiūros paliktų vaikų, kuriems reikalinga globa. Bešeimiai vaikai globojami šeimose, šeimynose, įvairiose valstybinėse globos įstaigose. Palankiausia vaikui – būti globojamam darnioje šeimoje. Tik šeimoje gali vykti pilnavertė vaiko socializacija, kai žmogus, gyvendamas tarp žmonių, natūraliai perima jų patirtį, elgesį, papročius. Globojant vaikus šeimoje kyla daug problemų. Kaip, kokiais būdais auklėti vaikus šeimoje, iš kur pasisemti patirties, kad būtų pasiektas teigiamas galutinis rezultatas, ir yra šio darbo problema. Tyrimo objektas – vaikų auklėjimo ypatumai ir būklė vaikus globojančioje šeimoje. Tyrimo tikslas – atskleisti auklėjimo ypatumus bei auklėjimo būklę šeimose, savanoriškai globojančiose vaikus. Šio darbo uždaviniai: apžvelgti vaikų globos raidą bei dabartinę jos padėtį Lietuvoje; ištirti vaikų auklėjimo būklę bei jų auklėjimo ypatumus vaikus globojančioje šeimoje; išsiaiškinti teikiamą šeimoms pagalbos mastą ir jos poreikį; nustatyti šeimos narių tarpusavio santykius; nustatyti socialinių darbuotojų bei pedagogų požiūrį į šias šeimas.

In addition to pursuing beauty, art conveys the impression of hidden ideas. In this impression, the author wishes to settle the tastes of “inconstant life”. These settled feelings and emotions are stories taking place in the time-space we exist. So why should we not take a “quick note” of the “present” memories which have made us feel frustrated, blank, infatuated, self-pitying, miserable, immersed in things that attract us, betray our love, crazed, hopeless, and even like failures? These splendid, true and eternal memories and emotions which we can grasp, though we may neither deliberately decorate them nor rack our brain to embellish youth, we can always learn from them that the value and content of life is noble and profound. Wishing to face “the variable impressions and varying impressions” with innocent eyes, the author abandoned all camouflage and falsification and grasped this innocent and weary road of life with powerful hands to present the truth with the sparkle of creation. This truth, the author exploited all “quick sketch” skills, including (1) the light and shadow in impressionism; (2) surrealism; (3) quasi-cartoon layout; (4) desire expression; (5) direct expression like freehand brushwork, color expression, spiritual implications and emotional expressions; (6) representational tokens; (7) extra sensory picture portfolio; and (8) metaphors and irony, to create a series of works that focus on the “variable impressions” in human life. These works fall into four categories, namely, the (1) political, (2) emotion, (3) social, and (4) life series.

This thesis investigates the notion of 'deterritorialization' of which the focus is a house. This house is understood as a frame that is juxtaposed against systems that move through and overlap with the said house-frame. For the purpose of this study, the systems that interact with the house-frame have been limited to: light, wind, temperature, water, and sound. As these systems engage with the house-frame, one's previously perceived perception of the house is momentarily shifted and re-directed to another: space is seen as a process of intensities, difference, and durations. Such space allows for the spontaneity of discovery, forgetting, continuity, discontinuity, definition, and re-definition.

The study aims to examine viewpoints about life and death from the perspectives of religion, philosophy, and art. It seeks to shed light on the following issues: the meaning and impermanence of life, the origin and destination of life, and the essence and value of life. By investigating the creative process involving mixed media that incorporates the concepts of “impermanence” and “unhindered mind” this paper also hopes to review the artist’s experiences and bring enlightenment to the self. The research is divided into three main sections: literature review, analysis of artworks, and examination of the artist’s works. Literature review focuses on discourse of life and death in Buddhist, Taoist, Catholic literature, and important philosophical thoughts. Different as they are in the interpretations of life, they share a common cause to enunciate the value of life and its existence, maintaining that as human beings, people should make use of their natural talents and instincts for self-enlightenment and to enlighten others. The analysis of artworks examines works in the East and the West which deal with the subject of life and death from the perspectives of creative idea, academic theory, content of form, and media skills. Works of art are the vessel that carries the artists’ emotions and mental imageries, which invite viewers to share the essence of life as expressed by the works. The author’s works are categorized into two main series: “impermanence” and “unhindered mind” The former deals with four subjects: the four sufferings of life (birth, aged, illness, and death); things cannot be pursued; unpredictability; the four kalpas of the Great Eon (eon of evolution, eon of evolution-duration, eon of dissolution, and eon of dissolution-duration). The latter highlights the four concepts of the Diamond Sutra: “giving without clinging to form,” “liberating sentient beings without the concept of self,” “living without abiding,” and “cultivating without asking for gain.” It is through recognizing the essence of life and death that one can understand the nature of impermanence in life. The researcher seeks to address the impermanence of life and death, in order to attain the state of “unhindered mind” It is both the starting point of this study, and the final destination for this life.

In 21st centuries, people make new life style continuously because technology has made enormous progress. When people focus on something different from usual, religion is no longer absolutely relied by people. However, the world in which we live still influenced by religion. Somebody still chase after past ideal world partially. And there is different sense of religion in different people’s mind. People with demand for religious beliefs can re-establish alienated interpersonal by religious activity. Space and building is changing with times. It is interpreted by new aesthetic perception or new material. However, the essence of expression will not be changed. It still can be interpreted by different people. The preservation of religious culture requires religious activity. And the continuation of religious activity brings out belief space. Space preserve culture and let culture can revive space. There have interdependent relationship. Up to now, it is closely integrated with our life. Culture of Hinduism is mixed with another culture by spreading. It will try to blend in with local and keep its’ original tradition. Finally, it will be produced new feature. In this design thesis, we designed new belief space for Hindus reinterpret literature of Hinduism. Then We planned Hindu temple, its belief space and school, and studied new style of temple space with combining local characteristic. Furthermore, we designed belief space for local Hindus and pilgrim.

A sense of the evanescence [vanity] of life is closely relate with Buddhism, and has a far-reaching impact on Japan. With the introduction of Buddhist thoughts into Japan, Japan, from the national culture to the religious beliefs, was deeply influenced. Through the literary works, this study discusses what influence a sense of the evanescence [vanity] of life in Buddhism had on Japanese people, how the following generations further understood this concept, and how the concept was developed. Also, by studying the impermanence concept in these two works, it is aimed to find what influence the concept has in modern society. Since these two works were created in the medieval times, it is worth studying how people, events, objects and concepts of the same ages were mutually related from the perspectives of different dynasties and different times. This study aims to discuss a sense of the evanescence [vanity] of life in two classical literary works, “Hou Zyou Ki” and “Tu Re Du Re Gu Sa,” and the impact it has on the following generations. Meanwhile, the thought, the concept and the national culture the authors wished to convey to the readers are also discussed respectively. Through the analysis and discussion in this study, the characteristics of the impermanency concept are introduced, which help us understand more about the profundity of these two well-known works of occasional scribbling writing as well as the different stylistic cultures, and further develop the intention to further study Japanese culture.

Abstract:
Presently, 190 million people live outside of their countries of origin. Almost all have moved in search of a better life: higher wages, or an escape from war or persecution. However, a small but growing demographic is merely seizing opportunities to feed its curiosity and satisfy its sense of pursuit. London is a Mecca for such migrants that choose to fulfill career aspirations and to embark on the global adventure. These New Nomads are of both genders, young, skilled, and have an ease of mobility afforded by the virtual permanence of the Internet. They come to the city alone, leaving friends and family behind, and they often leave again in the same way. But during their stay, they build relationships, accumulate belongings, make homes. Here are some of their stories. This thesis predicts a changing of the notion of 'dwelling' in this, our market-driven, resource-limited, technology-fluent world. New efficient ways to negotiate the exchange and sharing of space and commodities are needed. The proposed Living Marketplace is designed for the passing individual with an undetermined itinerary. It is a communal hub for nomads, migrants, transients—minorities navigating amidst uncertainty and impermanence, as they each make the journey of their lives via London.

Nowadays the medical concept has changed from “cure” to “care”, and therefore, the important problems that the dying life will face are the medical choice or spiritual accompanionship. Based on the classic《The Great Treatise on the Stages The Path to Enlightenment》 , this study states the philosophyies of "impermanence of the death," the drawbacks of wasting time or commiting evil action, and the unique advantages of doing beneficent works to people . Because of the awareness of mutual benefits, intensive spiritual practice, and inspiration of the wisdom about death and life,the regrets in life at facing dying are reduced   This study also describes the life accompany on the deathbed, the life attitude towards the dying, advantages and disadvantages of medical choice, and the significance of spiritual blessings. Besides, it showed the evelasting spirit of hospice care and of life in the lead by the other life. When facing the dying,if the companions can’t give up the medical treatment, the dying life will suffer from tortures. Instead, the quality of spiritual care of the dying life can be promoted by refusing invasive treatment. From the researcher’s mother and a number of dying life care experience, the researcher finds that the dying life and family members can enhance their spiritual level and go beyond the fear of death through care and companionship. When people expands their life patterns, the companions can realize that it is happier to give than to receive; at the same time, the dying can die a natural death with dignity.   The main findings and conclusions are as follows: First, everybody must die, and it comes at any time. We take nothing with us when we die. Therefore, we have to spur on striving after virtue and practicing good deeds to die a natural death at the end of life. Second, by refusing the invasive treatment, the dying life doesn’t have to suffer physically and mentally anymore, and dies naturally and peacefully. Third, let everyone do the best to learn constantly and attain growth while alive, and develop the greatest value of life. In addition, let everyone heal himself and others by caring for the lives tolerantly and mercifully. The researcher hopes that the subjective experience of this study can be helpful for the dying and their family members. The researcher also anticipates that the study can provide people with a new understanding and attitude toward "the dying", and keep away from the unnecessary sadness and sorrow.

Dissertação de mestrado integrado em Arquitetura (área de especialização em Cultura Arquitetónica)
Metabolismo: Perpetuidade de Impermanência propõe evocar uma viagem ao oriente num momento de retrospectiva dos anos sessenta. Mergulhamos numa análise experimental sobre as memórias modernas de um movimento arquitectónico singular: o Metabolismo. Visando o estudo do seu manifesto, é explorado um espectro cultural extremamente peculiar à realidade ocidental; envolvendo momentos internacionais, são abordadas noções, por vezes paralelas, quase que tangentes, que tocam ilusoriamente em premissas irreverentes. Procura-se realçar determinados momentos históricos que preconizaram o modernismo japonês; compreender a atmosfera heurística que deu génese ao movimento em estudo, explorando cronologicamente as suas ideologias e obras. Propõe-se uma análise entre o tradicionalismo e o modernismo, envolvidos na identidade nipónica, explorando a sua narrativa ecléctica. Pretende-se uma dialéctica, em modo de ensaio, que visa observar, o último movimento avant-garde da arquitectura moderna. Numa investigação entre memórias de manifestos e projectos experimentais, procura-se reflectir de que modo poderiam coincidir ou convergir, intersectando duas realidades, num paralelismo de possibilidades utópicas.
Metabolism: Perpetuity of Impermanence proposes to evoke a journey to the Orient in a moment of retrospective of the sixties. We immerse ourselves in an experimental analysis of the modern memories of a singular architectural movement: Metabolism. Aiming at the study of its manifesto, a cultural spectrum extremely peculiar to the western reality is explored; involving international moments, notions are approached, sometimes parallel, almost tangent, which illusory touch on irreverent premises. It seeks to highlight certain historical moments that advocated Japanese modernism; understand the heuristic atmosphere that gave rise to the movement under study, exploring its ideologies and works chronologically. It proposes an analysis between traditionalism and modernism, involved in the Japanese identity, exploring its eclectic narrative. It is intended a dialectic, in rehearsal mode, which aims to observe the latest avant-garde movement of modern architecture. In an investigation between memories of manifestos and experimental projects, the aim is to reflect on how they could coincide or converge, intersecting two realities, in a parallelism of utopian possibilities.
