Authors: Karanam Sreekantha Desai , Achar Anantha Padmanabha , Kulkarni R. V.
Published: November 2020

The agriculture sector in India has witnessed significant improvements in the adoption of modern technologies and mechanization to enhance crop yield levels in recent decades. The farmers require timely marketing of their produce to improve their liquidity for meeting their expenses. The lack of digitization and dominance of middlemen, poor market support, lack of knowledge, and inability to store their produce for better prices are core issues to be addressed for the economic prosperity of farmers. Today only 27% consumer price value reaches farmers, thus making agriculture a non-viable activity; hence, farmers are becoming poor, bankrupt, and committing suicide. The real fact is that Indian farmers are poor, but agribusiness is very prosperous. Implementing modern agricultural practices, legal farmer produce organizations (FPO), digital kissan hub (DKH) would promote agriculture and agribusiness. This chapter reviewed the digitization in agribusiness and designed a prototype of a Digital Kissan Hub to empower FPO, to enhance farmers income and ensure food security of the nation.

Sustainable Learning Society Applications
Authors: Amin Mohamed Ahmed
Published: November 2020

Citizen participation is a key element in sustainably developing cities. When developmental decisions are left to governmental officials and decision-makers, political and economic factors tend to control the process. This leaves little room for humane values. As such, researchers have called for the development of a sustainable learning society, with the creative class and innovators at its lead, in order to direct the participation of citizens in the decision-making process, in issues related to the living environment. Based on the similarity between the environment of organizational creativity of both participatory sessions and design education, this research borrows an application performed in a design context. This takes place, in order to quantitatively and qualitatively test diversity's effect in a group on the creative output. As such, it was concluded that the same relationship is valid for group members working on development projects. Findings suggest tools that can be employed to select participants and to enhance creativity within groups focusing on development planning.

This is done by spotlight on the changes in economic patterns and employment development in Egypt, revealing the emergence of a creative class that works as a driver to push the Egyptian economy to shift towards a knowledge economy, and illuminating the most important challenges that hinder its performance and effectiveness. The research follows a method of re-analysis, review literature, analysis of secondary data, and available statistics. The research came out with some recommendations which activate the performance of the creative class to shift towards a knowledge-based economy and global competition.
The Making of Creative Cities
Authors: Ibrahim Sara Mohamed Sabry Zakaria
Published: November 2020

Over the last few years, the making of the creative cities has received much attention in both the research community and actual city development. There are different approaches that contribute to such making including those focus on the creative industries (culture, arts, etc.), the creative class, the place of creative city-making ‘Creative Milieu', and others. Following a theoretical approach, this chapter discusses the role of sustainable urban mobility (SUM) in stimulating creativity within the context of the creative milieu. The main question is: How does SUM foster creativity, particularly the non-motorized transport (NMT)? First, the chapter frames the discussion around the challenge of people's mobility and sets out the factors associated with urban mobility behavior. Then, it focuses on the significant contribution of attitudinal factors in the making of creative cities. Finally, it highlights some of the global best practices that have fostered creativity through SUM and suggests the best Egyptian cities that could be successful for establishing future creative cities.

Data Collection as a Journey
Authors: Bengsch Géraldine
Published: November 2020

The journey approach for data collection may enable the novice researcher to reflect on their data collection processes, and it aims to point to potential creative solutions that can help create a coherent study deeply rooted in its social environment. Fieldwork becomes a part of the project, rather than an isolated element that needs to be done. Through this approach, even a novice researcher can demonstrate connected insights that are not only relevant to the study itself but also the subject of study. A creative, multi-layered approach to resources and created opportunities may help increase the feasibility of a study by reacting to and interacting with the social context of the field. This chapter reflects on the author's data collection progress during her PhD program and invites readers to discover actionable steps that can be used to overcome the inertia due to inability to secure access to a field site.
Reimagining Higher Education in the Post-Pandemic World
Authors: Nair Pradeep
Published: November 2020

Higher education is often touted as a recession-proof occupation and industry. During a recession, jobs are lost, but people's hunger for higher education typically grows. The Covid-19 pandemic shattered this belief, particularly in the private higher education industry. The campus closures due to Covid-19 have led to a drastic decline in new student enrolment, increased student deferments while disrupting academic calendars and campus operations, with some universities and colleges likely to close down or merge. Institutions have had to pivot to online learning to try and maintain learning and business continuity. The pandemic accelerated digital adoption across the global higher education sector. For any recovery to be meaningful and sustainable, there must be reform. This chapter explores how higher education must transform in the new normal post Covid-19 pandemic. It implores university leaders to reimagine and adopt game changing strategies in curriculum design, assessment, and delivery in order to sustain and grow ahead of the market when the pandemic is over.

Published: November 2020

This chapter reports on the design refinement process of the Malaysian Studies 3 (MS3) module site from the perspective of the designer, taking into consideration the feedback from the end-users who are the learners. The learners' feedback was reviewed with the practitioners for further refinements of MS3 version releases. This study contributes to the body of knowledge in design and development research bridging theory and practice based on a real-life design-case of in Taylor's University to make the leap to Education 4.0. The study affirms that in designing for a learner-centered environment a partnership is needed between the practitioners and learners to fully understand the learner's needs. Further, continuous support from an e-Learning team must be established in a HEI, to ensure a smooth transition to leaping from the traditional into an online classroom and this is also true when designing for learning at scale (L@S). Finally, a robust LMS must be a part of the eco-system to ensure L@S can be effectively delivered.
Students' Co-Ownership of Summative Assessment Marking Criteria Towards a More Democratic Assessment in Higher Education.
Authors: Aidan Alexander J.
Published: November 2020

This chapter focuses on the second iteration of a longitudinal action research project that culminates in students acting as partners in the assessment process by co-creating their summative assessment marking criteria. The research argues that the co-ownership of marking criteria increases assessment literacy and helps students to understand how their assignment will be marked. The research limitations are presented, and future research pathways are defined. The findings are analyzed from a social-constructivist and critical pedagogy window. The research concludes that actively engaging students in their assessment leads to an enhanced learning experience and creates space for a more democratic assessment in the classroom.
Addressing a Cultural Critique of U.S. Homeschooling With African American Homeschoolers' Perspectives
Authors: Puga Lisa
Published: November 2020

As U.S. homeschooling families increase, there is growing diversity among homeschoolers that quantitative data often fails to capture. Categorizing homeschoolers can limit understanding of their often complex motivations, experiences, and views. Additionally, static categorical frameworks have contributed to dominant cultural critiques of homeschooling, particularly that white, religious, and politically conservative homeschoolers a) represent normative homeschooling culture and b) stifle both individuals' and society's progress through isolation and ideological indoctrination. Ethnographic research with 15 African American urban homeschooling families not only complicates the static portrayal of religious homeschoolers, but also showcases why rigid categories often do not reflect homeschoolers' daily experiences and pedagogies. This research calls for additional qualitative research across homeschooling demographics to further interrogate the labels often used to characterize and make claims about U.S. homeschooling families.
Application of GIS-Based Knowledge-Driven and Data-Driven Methods for Debris-Slide Susceptibility Mapping
Authors: Das Raja , Nandi Arpita , Joyner Andrew , Luffman Ingrid
Published: November 2020

Debris-slides are fast-moving landslides that occur in the Appalachian region including the Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GRSM). Various knowledge and data-driven approaches using spatial distribution of the past slides and associated factors could be used to estimate the region's debris-slide susceptibility. This study developed two debris-slide susceptibility models for GRSM using knowledge-driven and data-driven methods in GIS. Six debris-slide causing factors (slope curvature, elevation, soil texture, land cover, annual rainfall, and bedrock discontinuity), and 256 known debris-slide locations were used in the analysis. Knowledge-driven weighted overlay and data-driven bivariate frequency ratio analyses were performed. Both models are helpful; however, each come with a set of advantages and disadvantages regarding degree of complexity, time-dependency, and experience of the analyst. The susceptibility maps are useful to the planners, developers, and engineers for maintaining the park's infrastructures and delineating zones for further detailed geo-technical investigation.

Authors: Burrell Darrell Norman , Modeste Rajanique , Aridi Amalisha Sabie , DiPeri Dawn , Jones Denise , Clay Leonard
Published: November 2020

Sexual harassment and workplace hostility towards women have significant implications for an organization's employees to collaborate and trust each other. Recent news reports highlighting prominent figures accused of unwanted and inappropriate behavior towards women and men in the workplace has brought a much-needed awareness of what has been an ongoing and often silent issue of sexual harassment. Although one has witnessed what seemingly appears to be an unprecedented number of claims of sexual harassment with the rise of the #MeeToo movement, it is surprising that the Equal Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has estimated 75% of individuals who are harassed in the workplace do not file a complaint. This paper explores a case study of an organizational consulting intervention around workplace sexual harassment.
Which Is More Important in Fitness Apps, Continuance, Satisfaction, or Attitude Loyalty?
Authors: Li Aoshuang , Yang Xiaodong , Guo Feng
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influencing mechanism of perceived usefulness (PU) on continuance usage of fitness Apps (CUFA) and moderating role of fitness mobility in the CUFA. This study advances a multiple mediation model with a moderator based on stimulus-organic-response (S-O-R). Three hundred fifty-four respondents from China were used to examine the research hypotheses in PLS method. The results verify that PU plays an important role in the mobile fitness. In addition, PU fully influences CUFA through attitude loyalty and satisfaction-attitude loyalty, respectively. However, satisfaction does not mediate PU on CUFA. The results suggest that only satisfying fitness Apps is not enough for maintaining the mobile fitness and users' attitude loyalty is more important. Moreover, fitness mobility negatively moderates the relationship between attitude loyalty and CUFA, revealing the boundary condition in the CUFA behavior.

Published: November 2020

Breast cancer occurs as a result of erratic growth and proliferation cells that originate in the breast. In this paper, the classifiers were used to identify the abnormalities on mammograms to get the region of interest (ROI). Before classifier based segmentation, noise, pectoral muscles, and tags were removed for a successful segmentation process. Then the proposed approach extracted the brightest regions using modified k-means. From the extracted brightest regions, shape and texture features were extracted and given to classifiers (KNN and SVM) and marked as ROI only those non-overlapping abnormal regions. The ROIs obtained using the proposed classifier-based segmentation algorithm was compared with the ground truth annotated by the radiologists. The datasets used to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm was public (MIAS) and local datasets (BGH and DADC).

Published: November 2020

The novel coronavirus called “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2” (SARS-CoV-2) caused an outbreak in December 2019, starting from the Chinese city of Wuhan, in the Hubei province, and rapidly spreading to the rest of the world. Consequently, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) can be characterized as a pandemic. During COVID-19 several immunological alterations have been observed: in plasma of severe patients, inflammatory cytokines are at a much higher concentration (“cytokine storm”). These aspects are associated with pulmonary inflammation and parenchymal infiltrates with an extensive lung tissue damage in COVID-19 patients. To date, clinical evidence and guidelines based on reliable data and randomized clinical trials (RCTs) for the treatment of COVID-19 are lacking. In the absence of definitive management protocols, many treatments are currently being evaluated worldwide. Some of these options were soon abandoned due to ineffectiveness, while others showed promising results. As for ventilatory strategies, at the moment there are still no consistent data published about the different approaches and how they may influence disease progression. What will probably represent the real solution to this pandemic is the identification of a safe and effective vaccine, for which enormous efforts and investments are being put in place. This review will summarize the state-of-the-art of COVID-19 current treatment options and those potentially available in the future, as well as high flow oxygen therapy and non-invasive mechanical ventilation approaches.
Biblical vistas of brokenness and wholeness in a time such as the coronavirus pandemic
Authors: Dames Gordon E.
Published: November 2020

In the midst of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, new unexpected and extraordinary scenes and sounds of aesthetical biblical and apocalyptic proportions are witnessed. Community and religious gatherings in public spaces are prohibited. Modern, conventional and traditional human achievements have become futile. One can describe the COVID-19 pandemic, and this new search for meaning as a juxtaposed tension of metaphorical apocalyptic vistas and metaphorical biblical vistas. The Bible holds the same juxtaposed tension which may help humanity to rediscover the semantics of biblical truth and hope – but it also espouses a metaphorical liberational vista of transcendence. Coronavirus could be a metaphor for something with extraordinary new possibilities. The biblical metaphors are being amplified in different metaphorical vistas to make it more discerning or accessible to the world population today. As a metaphorical liberation vista, it may offer new hope for a new kind of living, a new kind of humanity, a new kind of knowing and believing and a new kind of world order.Contribution: This article offers a Practical Theological contribution to the significance of the Bible within the COVID-19 pandemic context. Human suffering and divine metaphorical vistas encapsulate prospects for truth, hope and new meaning for the liberation of humanity.

Published: November 2020

A cyst is defined as a pathological cavity which may or may not have an epithelial lining and which has a fluid, semi-fluid, or gaseous contents and is not formed by accumulation of pus. The calcifying epithelial odontogenic cyst (CEOC) was first reported by Gorlin et al. in 1962. At that time, it was classified as a cyst related to the odontogenic apparatus. It was later renamed as calcifying cystic odontogenic tumor (CCOT) in the World Health Organization classification devised in 2005 due to its histological complexity, morphological diversity, and aggressive proliferation. CCOT was later recognized by numerous names including Gorlin cyst, calcifying ghost cell odontogenic cyst, and/or dentinogenic ghost cell tumor. It has a peak incidence during the second and third decades of life and does not demonstrate any gender predilection. Radiographically, CEOC may appear as a unilocular or multilocular radiolucent lesion with either well-circumscribed or poorly-defined margins and may also be observed in association with unerupted teeth. Calcification is an important radiographic feature for the interpretation of CEOC/CCOT. The typical histopathological features of CEOC include a fibrous wall and lining of odontogenic epithelium with either columnar or cuboidal basal cells resembling ameloblasts. The treatment of choice for CEOC is conservative surgical enucleation, however, recurrence is also not found to be uncommon. Herein, we are reporting a case of the same in a 21-year-old female which was a great dilemma during the diagnostic work-up.
Effect of Salvadora persica Extract (Miswak) on the Dentinal Tubules of Sound Root Dentin
Authors: Khunkar Sahar , Linjawi Amal I.
Published: November 2020

Background/Purpose:

Root dentin is vulnerable to a higher risk of demineralization than coronal enamel. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of miswak extract on the dentinal tubules of sound root dentin.

Materials and Methods:

Twenty bovine root dentin blocks, approximately 2 mm × 3 mm × 3 mm (width × length × depth) in dimensions, were prepared from freshly extracted sound bovine incisors. The sample was divided into two groups: control and miswak group. The control group had sound root dentin block and the miswak test group was treated with miswak extract 20% for 24 h. The two groups of all specimens were subjected to ultrasonication for 10 min. Scanning electron microscope images were analyzed for surface typography.

Results:

Fifty percent of the control group had surface particles (SPs), while the other 50% had no SPs. For the dentinal tubules, all (100%) the control group had a mixture of opened and partially opened dentinal tubules. On the other hand, for the miswak group, all (100%) the sample had SPs and blocked dentinal tubules.

Conclusion:

Miswak showed total blocking of the dentinal tubules compared to the control group. This might indicate that miswak has a role in reducing dentinal hypersensitivity of exposed root dentin.
Kobiece reguły gry. Spór o kobiety w dialogu Il merito delle donne Moderaty Fonte
Authors: Skowron Maja
Published: November 2020

Women’s Rules of the Game: A Dispute over Women in the Dialogue Il merito delle donne by Moderata Fonte This paper concerns Moderata Fonte (Modesta dal Pozzo), a female Venetian writer who lived in the 16th century, and a dialogue she wrote, Il merito delle donne (On the Value of Women), in which seven women gathered in a garden have a lively discussion about men and their flaws. The author of the study presents the book and Fonte’s biography in the context of the early-modern dispute over women (querelle des femmes). She then analyses Il merito delle donne in terms of the functionality of both the genre in which it was written and the convention of play (game) that is relevant to the work, in order to answer the question of the importance of these devices for the topic Fonte raises. Skowron writes about what makes Il merito delle donne different from other dialogues published at the time by women, as well as from Balthazar Castiglione’s famous Book of the Courtier (Il libro del Cortegiano), and in discussing the motif of the play she uses the definition of the ludic element of Johan Huizinga of Homo ludens. She points to the presence of particular determinants of play in Il merito delle donne, wondering how the voluntary basis of the game, limited time and space, imposed rules or a situation different from ordinary life affect the female characters’ freedom to express their opinions in discussion, as well as the reception of the work itself. Il merito delle donne owes its unique character to its form because it allows not only different views in a dispute over women to be presented, but above all it involves the reader in a discussion which does not end with the last page of the dialogue.

Published: November 2020

El análisis del signo que Heidegger desarrolla en el § 17 de Sein und Zeit complementa la caracterización ontológica del ente intramundano presentada en los §§ 15-16. El peculiar modo en el cual el ente signo es “a la mano” le permite a Heidegger poner de relieve aspectos básicos de la estructura de la mundanidad, el trato práctico-operativo con el ente intramundano y la compresión mundana a cuyo aseguramiento contribuye decisivamente el empleo de signos. El análisis heideggeriano pone, además, de relieve el papel central que juega la forma peculiar de competencia que corresponde al lamado “saber de orientación” (Orientierungswissen), en un sentido preciso del término.

إن القراءة سنة متبعة تلقاها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم عن جبريل، والصحابة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، والمسلمون تلقوها كابرا عن كابر، غير أنه ظهر من يزعم أن القراءة لا تحتاج إلى بذل الجهد والتعب، حتى وصل بهم الحال إلى تخطئة من ينشغل بعلم التلقي وهنا تكمن المشكلة. وتهدف الدراسة إلى بيان الصحابة الذين تلقوا عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ووصلتنا أسانيدهم كما هو موجود في كتب طبقات الحفاظ لبيان أن القراءة لا بد فيها من التلقي والمشافهة، مستخدما في ذلك المنهج التحليلي الوصفي، وقد توصل فيه الباحث إلى أن قراء الصحابة الذين ذكرهم أهل العلم في الطبقة الأولى ليسوا محصورين فقط في أولئك النفر، إنما ذكروا من وصلت إلينا أسانيدهم وعرف طلابهم، واشتهر باعهم في القراءة، وهناك من قراء الصحابة من لم تصلنا أسانيدهم كسالم مولى أبي حذيفة وغيره. كما أن هناك من قراء الصحابة رضي الله عنهم وأرضاهم ممن اشتهر بالإقراء كابن عباس وأبي هريرة ولكنهم على الراجح تلقوا عن غيرهم من الصحابة أغلب القرآن الكريم، فلذا عدهم من تكلم عن الحفاظ في الذين لم يتلقوا عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقد قدم الصحابة زيد بن ثابت رضي الله عند كتابة المصحف على ابن مسعود لا لكونه أقرأ، فابن مسعود معروف بقوته وجلالة قدره، وإنما لأن زيدا أمهر في الخط والمقام هنا مقام كتابة.

Published: November 2020

In the article, within the framework of intellectualization of the Lean Production technology, it is proposed to optimize the costs arising from the insufficient efficiency of placing goods in the warehouse by creating an optimization method based on the immune metaheuristics of the T-cell model, which allows solving the knapsack constrained optimization problem. The proposed metaheuristic method does not require specifying the probability of mutation, the number of mutations, the number of selected new cells and allows using only binary potential solutions, which makes discrete optimization possible and reduces computational complexity by preventing permanent transformations of real potential solutions into intermediate binary ones and vice versa. An immune metaheuristic algorithm based on the T-cell model has been created, intended for implementation on the GPU using the CUDA parallel information processing technology. The proposed optimization method based on immune metaheuristics can be used to intellectualize the Lean Production technology. The prospects for further researches are to test the proposed methods on a wider set of test databases.

Authors: Francisco Viana Francine , Costa de Araujo Marília , Viertel Vieira Ilse Lisiane
Published: November 2020

Objetivo: Avaliar o efeito do psyllium (Plantago ovata) nos sintomas de dor em pacientes com fibromialgia. Métodos: Participaram do estudo mulheres com fibromialgia (FM) cadastradas na lista de espera da Clínica Escola de Fisioterapia da Unisul. A coleta de dados foi feita de março a maio de 2017. Para avaliar o grau de dor foi utilizada a Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), e a frequência de dor foi avaliada através de uma pergunta objetiva. Cada paciente recebeu 300g de Psyllium para utilizar 10g ao dia durante trinta dias. Os dados foram expressos em média e analisados estaticamente pela análise de variância (ANOVA). Resultados: Foram avaliadas 33 pacientes com FM, com idade variando entre 31 a 68 anos. Antes da intervenção com o psyllium o menor número na EVA foi 5 (n=1) e maior 10 (n=3). Após o uso do psyllium o menor número na escala foi 2 (n=1) e o maior 10 (n=2). Já com relação à frequência da dor, 75,75% (n=25) das pacientes informaram ter dor todos os dias antes da intervenção e 51,51% (n=17) após. Os dados deste estudo demonstraram diferença para melhora do grau e frequência de dor, porém não foram estatisticamente significantes. Conclusão: Apesar de não se ter obtido valores estatisticamente significativos, foi possível visualizar melhora na frequência e grau de dor em algumas pacientes.
A crítica de processos na perspectiva da continuidade da criação no espectador
Authors: Dourado Patrícia , Martinelli Paula , Dias Wagner Miranda
Published: November 2020

Um dos temas caros à crítica de processos, conforme proposta por Cecilia Almeida Salles, no âmbito do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação e Semiótica da PUC-SP, é o das práticas comunicativas. Sob este viés, a teórica aponta para a criação como “uma tendência para o outro em vários sentidos” (SALLES, 2002, p. 68). Aqui, trazemos um estudo que tem o potencial de revelar algumas dimensões dessas práticas, no que diz respeito especialmente ao desejo do encontro com o espectador. Além da crítica de processos de Salles, outros teóricos colaboram para essa investigação, entre eles, Gilbert Simondon, Jacques Rancière, Georges Didi-Huberman, Vincent Colapietro e Charles Sanders Peirce, esses dois últimos em diálogo direto com Salles. Trata-se de um esforço que exemplifica os trabalhos multidisciplinares desenvolvidos no Grupo de Pesquisa em Processos de Criação (CNPq) da PUC-SP, em diferentes linguagens e sob diversos enfoques da criação. Acreditamos que, ao assumir a obra como catalisadora de fenômenos culturais, agregados por um sujeito, nos afastamos da “tentação de compreender os processos criativos na relação direta entre o fato vivido e a obra ficcional” (SALLES, 2006, p. 70), e é isso o que buscamos aqui, tomando como elo a relação com o espectador e o referencial da crítica de processos.

Authors: Dalla Bernardina Flávia Sangiorgi
Published: November 2020

Trata-se da análise crítica da exposição Antes de Sair, do artista Luiz Ernesto, realizada no Paço Imperial (RJ) em março de 2017, com organização e curadoria do próprio. O artista expõe fotografias do apartamento da família em vias de esvaziamento, acompanhadas de textos poéticos, devidamente emoldurados, que acompanham as imagens e enigmatizam seus sentidos, permitindo áreas de manobra para a invenção. Pontua-se, na análise da exposição, sobre a questão da transmissão e como a mesma se opera através das palavras e das imagens na contemporaneidade.
Caligrama, corpo e escrita
Authors: Kempinska Olga
Published: November 2020

A discussão com a interpretação crítica da forma do caligrama em termos de um qualificativo desambiguador ou de uma repetição tautológica é possibilitada pela consideração do contexto vanguardista. Nos caligramas de Apollinaire a encenação do espaço sonoro e, antes de mais nada, da experiência da ausência, tem como seu objetivo questionar a cumplicidade da poética vanguardista com a violência. Indagando o enigma do representável e a emergência visual do objeto, os caligramas encenam o jogo com a métrica e a irradiação da voz. Ao convidar o leitor à subversão da verticalidade da leitura, os caligramas atualizam o problema da percepção das figuras ambíguas, propondo também uma nova compreensão da intertextualidade por meio da combinação das expressões prontas em criativos desarranjos.

Alteridade operacional da imagem:
Authors: Hora Daniel
Published: November 2020

Neste ensaio, o anonimato será considerado como circunstância de problematização do arte-ativismo hacker. O foco de discussão será o tipo de alteridade implicada em táticas de renúncia ou revogação opostas à autoria exclusiva ou restritiva, em trabalhos artísticos vinculados com a contestação de diversos modos de opressão. Embora as duas opções sejam diretamente associadas a iniciativas de descentramento ou ocultação relativas à subjetividade, também propiciam um caráter agenciador e transubjetivo às propostas de artistas como Eva & Franco Mattes e Giselle Beiguelman, além de projetos como Art is Open Source e F.A.T Lab. A partir desses exemplos, comentamos aspectos da alteridade operacional e política que envolvem a realização, distribuição e usos das imagens e signos pós-digitais.
Caminhada e escuta como disparadoras de uma poética de experiência para viver na zona.
Authors: Sant’anna Cristiano Souto
Published: November 2020

O artigo apresenta dois trabalhos do autor, Pequena história da Zona e Luminária solução de forma-conteúdo, o cotidiano de ateliê do artista, as relações entre essas obras e as práticas poéticas na região da Avenida Farrapos, em Porto Alegre. Atravessado pela noção de experiência, o artista desenvolveu uma rotina de convívio e uma poética da experiência, que resultou no compartilhamento de saberes articulados no ateliê e galeria. O artigo ainda desenvolve o conceito de Zona, delimitado como a região física da Avenida Farrapos, mas ampliando o sentido para zona de bagunça, de meretrício, zona imaginária.
Estética, Ética e Filosofia Política:
Authors: Arçari André
Published: November 2020

Entrelaçando estética, ética e filosofia política, este artigo propõe levantar algumas considerações sobre o problema dos fluxos migratórios ocorridos em massa no pós Segunda-Guerra, em especial da crise dos refugiados, questão que nos chega a contemporaneidade, fundamentando o problema pelos escritos de Hannah Arendt (filósofa teuta de origem judaica), Giorgio Agamben (filósofo italiano), e através da abordagem convertida em problema estético nos filmes de Aki Kaurismäki (cineasta de origem finlandesa). Assim, traçando elos entre a artificialidade dos direitos humanos, a estética e a política, busca-se investigar o nublado núcleo que compõe o mote “direito a ter direitos”: a condição do apátrida, seu (des)pertencimento a uma comunidade, sua vulnerabilidade física, social e o desvanecimento dos afetos no espaço coletivo.
