Authors: R. Balardin Ricardo , Bellé Cristiano , Dalla Nora Daiane , F. Ramos Rodrigo , Carlos V. Rodrigues José , I. Antoniolli Zaida
Published: October 2021

Nematodes are considered a serious problem for agriculture. Nematodes of the Meloidogyne genus can attack a wide range of plants, needing different management methods to decrease its population. Fungi from the Trichoderma genus has been related to have potential as biological control agents. However, before an organism is used as biological control agent, first it is necessary to prospect, characterize and test its potential as biocontrol agent, so the objective of this work was to characterize and test fungi isolates of the Trichoderma genus to control M. javanica. We obtained forty isolate to carry out this experiment. We extracted the DNA of each isolate to discover which species we were testing, by doing a PCR and sequencing. We tested in vitro their parasitism effect using ELISA plate. Also, we extracted their filtrate to see if their metabolites have potential to reduce nematode population by showing a high mortality or inhibiting hatching. The results confirmed the high potential of the fungi of Trichoderma genus as a biological agent to control Meloidogyne javanica.
Advances in Spatially Faithful (3D) Telepresence
Authors: Valli Seppo , Hakkarainen Mika , Siltanen Pekka
Published: October 2021

Benefits of AR technologies have been well proven in collaborative industrial applications, for example in remote maintenance and consultancy. Benefits may also be high in telepresence applications, where virtual and mixed reality (nowadays often referred as extended reality, XR) technologies are used for sharing information or objects over network. Since the 90’s, technical enablers for advanced telepresence solutions have developed considerably. At the same time, the importance of remote technologies has grown immensely due to general disruption of work, demands for reducing travelling and CO2, and the need for preventing pandemics. An advanced 3D telepresence solution benefits from using XR technologies. Particularly interesting are solutions based on HMD or glasses type of near-eye-displays (NED). However, as AR/VR glasses supporting natural occlusions and accommodation are still missing from the market, a good alternative is to use screen displays in new ways, better supporting e.g. virtual meeting geometries and other important cues for 3D perception. In this article, researchers Seppo Valli, Mika Hakkarainen, and Pekka Siltanen from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland describe the status, challenges, and opportunities in both glasses and screen based 3D telepresence. The writers also specify an affordable screen based solution with improved immersiveness, naturalness, and efficiency, enhanced by applying XR technologies.

Authors: Nemat Farahzadi Helal , Akbari Mohammad Taghi , Shiari Reza , Zare Karizi Shohre , Farivar Shirin
Published: October 2021

Background: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common type of periodic fever syndrome. The disease is most prevalent in the western Mediterranean population, but today it is widespread in the world due to the large ethnic migrations of Turks, Jews, Arabs and Armenians. The MEFV gene is the only gene known to be associated with the disease. Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize pathogenic mutations in patients with typical FMF symptoms by sequencing the entire MEFV gene. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study that was performed during ten years from 2009 to 2019. On 252 patients after clinical diagnosis based on existing criteria to determine mutations referred to Tehran Medical Genetics Laboratory and the whole sequencing method for MEFV gene was used to determine mutations. Results: Out of 252 patients, 143 (56.7%) had pathogenic variants, and 109 (43.3%) had no variants reported as pathogenic mutations. Variants were identified as fallow: (1) 8.7% as homozygous; (2) 22.2% as compound heterozygous; (3) 25.7% as heterozygous. The most common variants were M694V (c.2080A>G) and E148Q (c.442G>C). Conclusions: This study showed that the age of onset of the disease was in the first and second decades of life amongst our patients and the most common complaints of patients were periodic fever and abdominal pain. The most frequent allele was M694V (c.2080A>G) followed by E148Q (c.442G>C) allele.

Authors: Hamidi Parsa Hadi , Saghafipour Abedin , Koohpaei Alireza , Farzinnia Babak , Barouni Mohsen
Published: October 2021

Background: The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has placed heavy direct and indirect economic burden on the people and the health system. Objectives: The present study aimed to estimate the economic burden of COVID-19 in Qom Province, using the step-down cost accounting (SDCA) method. Methods: This descriptive, cross-sectional study included all COVID-19 patients in Qom Province from February 19, 2020, to June 19, 2020. The patients’ data were collected in the form of major cost groups with integrated health system (IHS), health information system (HIS), and a financial software called Roozamad. The governmental, out-of-pocket, and opportunity costs paid by patients and hospitals were calculated and evaluated using SDCA in Microsoft Excel software. Results: The incidence of COVID-19 infection was 518 per 100,000 populations in Qom Province in the aforementioned period. The total government costs for the treatment of the patients were calculated to be 2,229,216,930,370 Rials (8,916,867 $). Among the major governmental cost groups, personnel costs accounted for the highest total expenditures. In addition, out-of-pocket costs of patients and their families equaled 30,038,013,060 Rials (120,152 $). The costs of final service departments accounted for more than half of the total costs. The opportunity costs were calculated as 420 billion Rials (15.68% of total costs). Conclusions: According to the findings, the direct and indirect costs associated with the treatment of COVID-19 patients can impose a heavy economic burden on the households and health care system. Therefore, disease prevention strategies such as observing health protocols are recommended to reduce the burden of the disease.
O Desejo na Ética de Espinosa
Authors: Tendeiro Maria da Graça ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

Pour Spinoza, le désir, autant que «l’appétit dont on a conscience», définit l’essence de l’homme, puisqu’il est une modalité spécifiquement humaine du «conatus», interdite à tous les êtres sans capacité réflexive, en nous concédant un statut privilégié par rapport aux autres modes. Étant donn é le désir comme essence de l’homme, la raison permet l’orientation du désir vers la direction d’une augmentation d’être. La rationalité consiste dans un changement d’attitude, celle de la rationalisation et de l’explication du désir, en permettant la substitution des affections négatives par des affections positives, bien qu’on n’arrive pas à une libération complète des passions. Elle soulève le désir à l’exposant maximum, conduisant vers la connaissance, connaissance qui mène à la libération. Cependant, la raison ne supprime pas les désirs, parce qu’elle ne se constitue pas comme une instance séparée, supérieure et imposante, elle permet seulement l’autonomie devant le désir.
Os Significados da História em Kant
Authors: Perez Daniel Omar ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

Dans l’oeuvre de Kant il y a un ensemble de text es sur l’histoire, écrits tout au long de quinze années, où on peut trouver trois moments de thématisation de l’histoire. Pourra-t-on parler d’une théorie de l’histoire chez Kant ? L’auteur veut montrer qu’il n’y a pas proprement dit une théorie de l’histoire en Kant mais un chemin pour une théorie des possibilités des propositions de l’histoire.
Diferença e Singularidade, Notas Sobre a Crítica de Hegel e Spinoza
Authors: Aquino João Emiliano Fortaleza de ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

This essay intends to discuss the starting point of Hegel’s criticism of Spinoza. According to Hegel, Spinoza’s idea doesn’t manage, even though it wants to, to give an absolute foundation to difference and self-conscious singularity; that is why the Dutch thinker didn’t reach the specificity of the modem conception of freedom, as it is represented by Christianity and effectively developed in modernity by the mediation of the particularity in the civil-bourgeois society. Hegel hopes to demonstrate his thesis analyzing Spinoza’s concepts of substance, attributes and modes: there is not between them, according to Hegel’s criticism, an immanent negative development. Consequently, Spinoza’s thought ends up in an impasse: or the finite modes keep a juxtaposed existence to substance or they annihilate themselves because of it. To Hegel, it is the second alternative that characterizes Spinoza’s thought.
A Consciência e a Questão da Humanidade do Humano em Das Wesen des Christentums, de Ludwig Feuerbach
Authors: Castanheira Nuno ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

Individualism is one of the fundamental traits of our time, based on an emphatic and recurrent defence of individual freedom, as experienced by consciousness. This point of view seems to entail a refuse of all kinds of transcendence, cosmological or onto-theological, characterized by an authoritarian and undisputed heteronomy. However, this perspective does not take into account a third type of transcendence, one that occurs in that radical immanence, in the core of individual freedom and autonomy. This type of transcendence takes shape as an ethical and aesthetical relationship carved in the heart of each individual human being, each one of his particular conscious States and the simultaneous consciousness of his Humanity. The aim of this essay is to give an understanding of Ludwig Feuerbach’s The Essence of Christianity and its philosophy of Revelation, as a reflection on religion and its anthropological origins. In our viewpoint, The Essence of Christianity is an effort to ascertain the genetic elements of human religiosity and clarify its meaning as a movement of reconnecting the human individual with a transcendence that is his own Humanity, given in the immanence of his conscious life. Religion remains a law of transcendence, as the feeling that binds the individual to his Humanity, an everlasting commandment coming from an Otherness that projects itself as a horizon to his free actions.
Foucaulte o Poder
Authors: Arêdes José de Almeida Pereira ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this paper is to present some thoughts upon the ever pressing question of the role of justice in our societies, according to Michel Foucault. Centered upon Discipline & Punish: The Birth of the Prison, the paper draws the guidelines which Foucault developed about the aggiornamento of the exercise of power and its changing methods, from torture to the scientific methods which he named technologies of the self. Going from the exercise of violence centered upon the body to its submission by means of idea and mind control, power has associated itself to the scientific (psychiatric) approach of identity, leading to a controllable abnormality (present in prisons). All of this in the name of a population policy, a bio power which ensures the docility of individuals while optimizing their productive force. Hence the remaining epigraph quoted challenge where Plato provocatively States: justice is the same everywhere, it is the rule of the strongest.
Pode o Deflacionismo Negar o Princípio de Bivalência?
Authors: Marques Teresa ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

The simplest and most widely endorsed elucidation of the notions of truth and falsehood is given in Aristotle’s dictum: “to say of what is not that it is, and of what is that it is not, is false; while to say of what is that it is, and of what is not that it is not, is true”. Nowadays, while some take the dictum as the first Statement of truth as correspondence, the dictum may also be seen as a first Statement of deflationism. Deflationism holds that the essential about truth is captured in equivalence schemas for truth. Similar schemas are usually put forward for falsity. Can deflationism coherently deny bivalence? I will argue that it cannot since the putative counterexamples to bivalence also falsify the relevant truth-schemas. The attempts made to render the supposition of counter examples to bivalence compatible with the truth-schemas usually take two steps: in the first place, they try to deal with the way we can reject that a relevant item is bivalent without self-contradiction, and, in the second place, they try to explain how, although there are gaps, the schemas for truth and falsehood are still correct. I will argue that these attempts fail, since they are ad hoc or generally ungrounded. So, either deflationism is in adequate as an account of truth, or there cannot be counterexamples to bivalence. I conclude that it is not only deflationism that faces this dilemma; anyone who defends that some version or other of the truth-schemas is correct faces the same difficulties as the deflationist. This would corne as no surprise for Aristotle. His dictum about truth was followed by a Statement of bivalence: “so that he who says of anything that it is, or that it is not, will say either what is true or what is false”.
A Estética do Invisível Na Natureza
Authors: Beckert Cristina ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

This paper aims at showing the interdependence between aesthetic and ethic values in appreciating nature. The Kantian concept of sublime guides us in the first part, exhibiting the primacy of ethics over aesthetics, as the sublime reveals it self to be an analogon of the moral law and the respect due to it. The second part, based on the holistic tendency in Environmental Ethics hold by Holmes Rolston III and others, analyses how the relation is inverted by means of an aesthetic of the invisible, where the sublime in nature refers to the whole and is hidden under the apparent ugliness of the parts.
A Harmoniosa Pregnância Vital da Paisagem Natural em Georg Simmel
Authors: Roberto Paulo Frazão ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

Dans cette lecture de la “Philosophie der Landschaft” de Georg Simmel, on essaie de comprendre la signification profonde de l’expérience esthétique qui est immanente à la contemplation, vécue en présence, d’un paysage naturel. Prenant en considération les principes vitalistes de l’esthétique simmélienne, on montre que l’unité esthétique inhérente à chaque paysage naturel est l’expression d’un sentiment d’harmonie - vital et non seulement formel - entre l’être humain et ce paysage; leur unité s’éprouve comme une “ambiance” spirituelle (Stimmung) commune et partagée.
Estéticas da Paisagem e Arquitectura Paisagista
Authors: Machado Lima Maria Francisca ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

This dissertation aims to explore the role and potencial of Aesthetics to Landscape Architecture. Starting by discussing some of the most relevant aesthetical theories, this work explores the concepts of aesthetics of nature, environment and landscape, highlighting its differences and similarities. The implications of these philosophical theories to Landscape Architecture are critically reviewed. From the theoretical investigation, it may be concluded that has been a growing interest in the landscape concept. This increase can potentially be due to the growing need for identity, contextualization and contact with nature.
Rhétorique et Transcendance de la Parole Publique
Authors: Larochelle Gilbert ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

Pourquoi revenir à Cicéron encore une fois? Peut-êt re, à la vérité, pour comprendre, à travers lui, ce qui manque à notre temps pour qu’une grande rhétorique montre la voie comme chez les Anciens et pour tirer de ce rapprochement un moment d’interpellation. De nos jours, c’est le déclin de l’idée d’excellence dans l’espace public, de responsabilité dans l’exercice de la liberté et d’une universalité dans la parole publique qui rend le retour à Cicéron utile, sinon nécessaire. Une relecture des oratorii libri permet de faire surgir un tableau contrasté dans lequel apparaissent les enjeux de la grande sophistique de l’heure. Invasion des signes et rétrécissement du sens, prolifération de l’éthique et eclipse de la morale, bref la rhétorique, pourtant omniprésente (cf. la publicité), ne transporte plus rien au-delà d’elle-même. Le présent essai montre que, de cette impasse, Cicéron en fut conscient: la forme même des dialogues du De oratore en porte le témoignage en révélant la rhétorique comme l’antinomie du bavardage, dans la mesure où la véritable éloquence porte toujours, en dernière analyse, sur une recherche du consensus universorum.

Sinthomi Tardo-Capitalisti

Published: October 2021

Everybody must have heard the Andersen’s tale The Emperor’s new clothes. It tells about a vain Emperor who would get new and more elegant clothes made all the time. One day, two adept impostors visited the Emperor, declared themselves accomplished weavers and offered to craft a new suit for His Majesty with a textiles with the magical property of being invisible to those not at the height of their own charge or else unforgivably stupid. The weavers received the assignment and wove throughout the days before the parade that was organized to display the new garment. They pretended to weave on an empty loom and worked with such an ability that none of the Emperor’s civil employees, who were asked to supervise the job of the weavers, had the courage to admit that they could not see anything at all. Meanwhile, the news about the special properties of the burlap spread throughout the Empire. On the parade day, the Emperor wore his new invisible dress and exited the parade. There was not a soul who did not praise the beauty of the new dress. Everyone but a child who, unaware of the deceit, said: “the King is naked!” The trick was revealed but, despite that, the Emperor stood up forthrightly dissimulating the shame. Is this not a perfect example of how ideology works, that is, of how the socio-symbolic web is not at all based on facts but rather on predetermined symbolic fictions? The purpose of this essay is to analyse ideological mechanisms in relation to subjective fantasy. Andersen’s tale, presents in parodist form both the fact that, through the working of symbolic adjustments, we always have a pre-understanding of reality, and the fact that such reality has an intrinsically perverse and cynical core. In fact, even when the deceit is revealed, we keep acting as if this order were already effective.
Ει Εστιν. Hipóteses de Existência em Aristoteles?
Authors: Mesquita António Pedro ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

First, there will be as close and detailed an analysis as possible of the first two chapters of the second book of Posterior Analytics, which constitute the canonical place of the controversy, in Order to determine the meaning that should be restored there to the clause εἰ ἔστιν. After this, we will try to corroborate the conclusion we arrive at concerning the clause mentioned above by applying it to the subsequent passages of the same book where this question is raised again, either implicitly or explicitly. Finally, an examination will be made of the rest of the passages of the Aristotelian corpus, where the critic has found the occurrence of the alleged “hypothesis of existence”, chiefly in the second book of the Prior Analytics, in order to verify if such passages also offer the possibility of a reading consistent with that offered by the first two chapters initially studied. The conclusion will be that no traces of existential concern are found in any of the places searched, nor in general, in any of the connected texts within the Aristotelian corpus, and that the reading of the clause εἰ ἔστιν and of the corresponding scientific hypotheses from an existential angle are the result of a modern contamination whose origin will be diagnosed.
Agamémnon en Attendant Godot
Authors: Serra José Pedro ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

The heir to epic poetry and inseperable from it, Greek tragedy emerged at the same moment in history as the consolidation of the polis, revealing a tremendous unease, a crisis, at the root of which is the architecture of a new understanding of reality, the affirmation of a new logos. A different crisis accompanied the appearance of Contemporary tragedy, a crisis heralded by the announcement that “God is dead”, exemplified in the work of Nietzsche. In contrast to Greek tragedy, Contemporary tragedy asserts not the crisis of the affirmation of reason, but a denunciation of reason’s strategies and devices. Anchored in the rejection of all Absolutes, Contemporary tragedy depicts a world without feeling, of desperate solitude, of absurdity. Waiting for Godot, in the way in which it destroys language and hope, is an excellent example of Contemporary tragedy. Yet, inside this tragic voice, that announces death and nothingness, there is a resistant light that refuses to die that points to Goodness, Truth and Beauty.
The Feeling of What Happens and Animal Minds

Published: October 2021

In this paper, I intend to dispute Marc Hauser’s thesis, sustained in Wild Minds. What Animals Really Think (2000), that we must abandon the question of whether animals have a feeling of themselves, replacing it for an objective and scientific analysis capable of disclosing the extraordinary similitude between different mental procedures animals undergo when they face common challenges.
Anselmo e Duns Escoto
Authors: Xavier Maria Leonor ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2021

João Duns Escoto pode contar-se entre os continuadores de Anselmo, uma vez que acolheu favoravelmente o argumento do Proslogion, ainda que na sua singular interpretação. Mas, aquém e para além deste aspecto pontual de continuidade, há aspectos de afinidade estrutural de pensamento a estreitar os laços de razão entre os dois filósofos. Estes aspectos de mais profunda proximidade não têm que ser explicados exclusivamente por uma influência directa do legado de Anselmo no pensamento de Duns Escoto, mas acusam, a nosso ver, algo como uma família de pensamento ou de espírito, ou uma orientação filosófica de fundo, capaz de atravessar os séculos e de incluir as singularidades dos diversos pensadores que nela vão tomando parte. Entre esses laços de razão, há uma afinidade fundamental ao nível da partilha de um mesmo princípio metafísico, que estrutura o pensamento quer do Doutor Magnífico quer do Doutor Subtil. Trata-se do princípio da irreflexividade das relações essenciais do ente, que Duns Escoto enuncia, como prima conclusio, no início da sua análise comparativa das ordens essenciais do ente, no Tractatus de Primo Principio. Duns Escoto assume de Agostinho a inspiração deste princípio, mas é na metafísica de Anselmo que aquele revela a força de um princípio estruturante, antes mesmo de expandir o seu alcance na metafísica escotista. O nosso propósito, neste estudo, é analisar alguns aspectos do percurso daquele princípio metafísico através do pensamento de Agostinho, do de Anselmo e do de Duns Escoto, permitindo agregar os três pensadores numa mesma família de espírito ou orientação filosófica de fundo.
Dionyseus Lyseus Reborn
Authors: Hall Joshua M. ,   DePaul University
Published: October 2021

Having elsewhere connected Walter Otto’s interpretation of Dionysus as a politically progressive deity to Huey P. Newton’s vision for the Black Panthers, I here expand this inquiry to a line of Otto-inspired scholarship. First, Alain Daniélou identifies Dionysus and Shiva as the dancing god of a democratic/decolonizing cult oppressed by tyrannical patriarchies. Arthur Evans sharpens this critique of sexism and heteronormativity, concluding that, as Dionysus’s chorus is to Greek tragedy, so Socrates’s circle is to Western philosophy. I thus call for the creation of a hybrid Dionysian-Socratic revolutionary philosophical chorus, modeled on Dionysus Lyseus (from -lysis), wielding philosophical analysis to loosen injustice’s bonds, as a vanguard of social justice. I find a handbook for this chorus’s creation in Euripides’s Bacchae, whose Dionysus is an ally of immigrant women, overthrower of Theban patriarchy, and international revolutionary. Finally, I offer a contemporary example of such a chorus that is based in my hometown in Alabama, namely, the Birmingham Philosophy Guild.
Prolegomena to any Future Cosmology
Authors: Mubirumusoke Mukasa ,   DePaul University
Published: October 2021

This paper highlights the shortcomings of Georges Bataille’s writings in terms of his failure to address white supremacy and blackness by critically engaging and expanding his cosmological metaphor through the figure of the black hole. The sun is a timeless figure in the history of western thought as an epistemological and ontological metaphor. Bataille offers alternative cosmological interpretations whereby luxurious excess and waste aim to transfigure the traditions of metaphysics, ethics, and political economy. This paper confronts Bataille’s cosmologies and heliotropes through an afropessimistic lens whereby blackness proves to be an ontological positionality that is not simply marginal to whiteness, but antagonistic, thus allowing for an expanded critical cosmology that incorporates the figure of the black hole.
Dunning-Kruger effect: The influence of distorted reality on consumer perception towards luxury brands
Authors: Baltezarević Radoslav , Baltezarević Ivana
Published: October 2021

Although advances in technology have enabled people to access information almost instantly that would fill their knowledge gaps and improve their skills, or move them away from untruth or half-truth, there are few who do not seek such information. According to the Dunning-Kruger effect, such people are not aware of the deficit of their knowledge, and at the same time they overestimate their abilities. Such personalities, which are characterized by excessive self-confidence, are an integral part of every society. Research has shown that it is difficult to dissuade them in their unsubstantiated beliefs, even when faced with indisputable facts, out of a simple need to defend their self-confidence, but also because they are not aware of their ignorance at all. Also, with their excessive self-confidence, they have the power to exert a strong social influence, because as science has shown, such influence happens on a subconscious level and the reference group more easily adopts their views. In real life or in the digital environment, individuals who are recognized by Dunning and Krieger as incompetent but also overconfident, in their need to impose or defend their views, according to many studies, more vigorously commit one type of contamination from society by half or complete misinformation, without even being aware of it, unlike those who are really experts in certain areas. Such people are often the leaders of many social discussions, from criticism of political candidates, economic analysis, knowledge of virology and the negative effects of compulsory vaccination to analysis of the performance and benefits of luxury brands. The main goal of this paper is to analyze the collected information from the available scientific literature, primarily in the field of marketing communication, psychology, and sociology and to draw the attention of experts dealing with the analysis of consumer behavior to the influence of Danning-Kruger effect on forming or degrading consumer attitudes towards to luxury brands. Knowledge of this phenomenon can help to more accurately create brand communications and more adequately respond to market demands, but also to locate sources of misinformation and respond to them in a timely manner. Negative electronic word-of-mouth communication in the digital environment is a particularly big problem, affecting the image of luxury brands, primarily because digital media have enabled unprofessional individuals to spread untruths without any censorship and thus to some extent reprogram public opinion, or at least some of its parts.
Nuevas estrategias de digitalización dentro del megalitismo cantábrico: modelos 3d, visitas y aproximaciones virtuales del proyecto de La Cobertoria (Salas, Asturias)
Authors: R. del Cueto Fernando , Busto Zapico Miguel , Herrera Arenas Daniel , García Cortés Silverio , García-Noriega Villa Carlos
Published: October 2021

El presente texto sintetiza las novedosas metodologías de registro, así como el modo de elaboración de materiales de divulgación, puestos en marcha en el proyecto de la Cobertoria, orientado al estudio de los paisajes megalíticos del área centro-occidental asturiana. Las dos líneas de trabajo preferentes son, en la actualidad, la excavación de sitios de especial interés, como el dolmen de la Cobertoria, y la actualización del catálogo de túmulos prehistóricos de todo el concejo de Salas. Durante la primera, se reunió un registro tridimensional a través de técnicas fotogramétricas y se realizaron dos vuelos de dron sobre la estructura megalítica, en 2016 y 2019, que permitieron el montaje de varios modelos 3D que ya están disponibles en web. Además, dos aproximaciones y dos visitas (ambas virtuales) a las necrópolis de San Juan y Penausén completan el lote de materiales empleados para el análisis del paisaje arqueológico, sirviendo también de itinerarios virtuales por estos lugares.
In Search of the Miraculous: la obra y el documento
Authors: De Llano Neira Pedro
Published: October 2021

Este artículo presenta un conjunto de materiales documentales, en parte inéditos, vinculados a la obra póstuma In Search of the Miraculous (1975), del artista holandés Bas Jan Ader. Se trata del “Expediente de Hallazgo 143/76” (Archivo Naval de Ferrol) y una serie de fotografías realizadas por el foto-reportero Alberto Martí, en A Coruña, en abril de 1976. El autor sostiene que estos materiales son esenciales para entender y completar esta obra clave de Ader y para probarlo los estudia en relación a otras prácticas y teorías vinculadas al arte conceptual y los contextualiza en los debates historiográficos y museográficos recientes entorno a los límites entre la obra y el documento. El resultado de este análisis refuerza el carácter singular y paradigmático de In Search of the Miraculous en el arte de su tiempo.
Crónica de un viaje sin retorno del patrimonio eclesiástico: Julián y Antonio Zabaleta y las pinturas del convento de Santo Tomás de Ávila en el Museo del Prado
Authors: Caballero Escamilla Sonia
Published: October 2021

La salida de obras artísticas de los conventos suprimidos en la Desamortización de Mendizábal provocó una pérdida irreparable de un valioso patrimonio, así como una descontextualización evidente que nos ha privado de conocer tanto su ubicación original como su sentido y significado. Proponemos un recorrido por el viaje que emprendieron algunas de las pinturas más notables de la colección del Museo del Prado, las procedentes del convento de Santo Tomás de Ávila, atendiendo a los motivos que provocaron su salida de su lugar de origen, la llegada a Madrid, su estado de conservación, el definitivo ingreso en la pinacoteca madrileña y la dispersión de algunas de ellas, alterándose así los programas originales y su razón de ser.

Del objeto al espacio. La «indisciplina» de Christo and Jeanne-Claude
Authors: Barba-Rodríguez Daniel , Zaparaín Hernández Fernando
Published: October 2021

En Christo and Jeanne-Claude se aprecia un salto conceptual de las primeras obras a los últimos proyectos. Vamos a comprobar cómo buscan trascender los límites disciplinares en un proceso de evolución que apenas dura veinte años. Nos centraremos en finales de los cincuenta y la década de los sesenta. En una primera etapa, que corresponde a su periodo de residencia en París, entienden el arte de una manera objetual. Un arte de vanguardia que tiene de referencia a figuras como Picasso y Duchamp. En un segundo momento, su idea transita del objeto al espacio artístico. Un cambio de mentalidad que coincide con un cambio de residencia. De París se trasladan a Nueva York, dónde descubrirán las posibilidades del espacio y trabajarán bajo la influencia de artistas como Pollock o los del Pop-Art. A partir de entonces, sus trabajos excederán los límites disciplinares, pudiendo recibir múltiples definiciones como la de instalación. Un entendimiento del arte de plena actualidad.
Experiencias inmersivas y nación: la fotografía estereoscópica amateur en Cataluña 1900-1936
Authors: F. Rius Núria
Published: October 2021

Entre 1900 y 1930, la fotografía amateur se extendió de forma notoria en Cataluña. Esta extensión tuvo particular arraigo entre las clases acomodadas que encontraron en la fotografía y el excursionismo una forma de compromiso con la nación. En la articulación entre fotografía y nación jugó un papel capital el formato estereoscópico, muy popular entonces. Este permitía la toma de fotografías dobles que gracias al uso de un visor ofrecían una profunda experiencia de inmersión, transparencia y tránsito físico. El artículo interroga los procesos de construcción de la cultura visual nacional no solo en términos de la instancia productiva de la fotografía amateur sino, también, en su instancia observacional y experiencial, que pone el cuerpo en el centro de los procesos de construcción de las identidades nacionales y subraya el papel relevante que tuvo el amateurismo fotográfico en el catalanismo cultural.

La visita al salón: las exposiciones artísticas y la experiencia del cuerpo en los albores de la cultura de masas
Authors: Valverde Zaragoza Isabel
Published: October 2021

A lo largo del XIX, los Salones oficiales que se celebraban en París se convirtieron en acontecimientos masivos por el número de obras y de visitantes en proporciones difícilmente imaginables en la actualidad, constituyendo así una manifestación temprana de la cultura de masas. El formato de estas grandes exposiciones temporales, la especificidad de sus espacios, la forma de sociabilidad y de interacción a que daban lugar influían en la experiencia de los espectadores, que se distinguía de la que gozaban en el museo o la galería privada. A partir de ejemplos sacados de la crítica de arte, la literatura y la ilustración periodística, el artículo aborda el fenómeno del Salón como experiencia del cuerpo, tomando como punto de partida al espectador y su experiencia multisensorial propiciada no sólo por las obras que se muestran sino por las condiciones de percepción y juicio en las que se realiza la visita a la exposición. La experiencia de los Salones estaba mediada por prácticas sociales y modalidades de exhibición que producían diferentes formas de encuentro entre la obra y el cuerpo, y entre los cuerpos entre ellos. Las condiciones en la que se mostraba al público moderno la producción artística de su tiempo remiten a la constitución del «cuerpo sensorial» del espectador en constante negociación con toda clase de estímulos, no únicamente estéticos, como la multitud de los visitantes, el griterío y el ruido, el calor y la humedad envolventes, o el polvo.

Aim. To determine the resistance of winter wheat varieties to the main pathogens, to establish their stability and plasticity, to identify perspective sources of resistance. Methods. Laboratory – production of inoculum of pathogens; field – artificial inoculation,, assessment of variety stability; statistical calculation of disease severity, indicators of stability and plasticity. Results. In 2015–2017, the resistance of 43 varieties of winter wheat to the main pathogens of leaf diseases, common bunt and root rots was assessed. Resistance to powdery mildew was found in 32 varieties, tan spot – in 2, root rot – in 3, hard smut – in 2 varieties. Six varieties of winter wheat were characterized by group resistance. Varieties that combine high plasticity and stability of the sign of disease resistance have been identified. Conclusions. Valuable sources of resistance are winter wheat varieties with group resistance to common bunt and powdery mildew – Tradytsiia Odeska and Kurs; powdery mildew and tan spot – Nasnaga and Zolotonozhka; powdery mildew and root rot – Nezabudka and Shchedrist kyivska.Keywords: resistance, winter wheat, diseases, plasticity, stability.

Aim. The purpose of the work is to assess the resistance of highly decorative plants of the native flora to a high level of salinity and the content of zinc, lead and cadmium for landscaping urban and roadside areas. Methods. We used seed germination under laboratory conditions with soaking in solutions of sodium chloride and salts of zinc, lead and cadmium, as well as the method of in vitro cell selection to increase resistance to salinity of Verbascum nigrum L. Results. The resistance of 7 species of highly decorative plants, representatives of the autochthonous flora of Belarus, to increasing concentrations of lead, zinc and cadmium salts was assessed. Germination capacity, length and morphology of roots, length of seedlings during germination of seeds of Betonica officinalis L., Centaurea jacea L., Verbascum nigrum, Knautia arvensis (L.) Coult., Galium verum L., Anthemis tinctoria L., Anthemis arvensis L., Viscaria vulgaris Bernh., Achillea millefolium L. in the presence of sodium chloride are shown. It has been shown that the in vitro cell selection method is promising for the selection of resistant lines of Verbascum nigrum. Conclusions. The presence of lead, zinc and cadmium salts had a significant effect on the average length of the root, hypocotyl, and cotyledonous leaves, as well as the germination capacity of highly decorative species of autochthonous flora. The most resistant to salinity were yarrow (Achillea millefolium), brown knapweed (Centaurea jacea) and black mullein (Verbascum nigrum). Lines of Verbascum nigrum, capable of growing in vitro at a sodium chloride concentration of 5 g/L, were selected. Keywords: salinity, heavy metals, seed germination, highly decorative species.
Forces et défis de l’intégration de l’apprentissage expérientiel dans les programmes postsecondaires en sciences sociales
Authors: Moisa Daniela
Published: October 2021

La présente étude examine l’impact de l’apprentissage par expérience sur la formation pratique et théorique des étudiants inscrits dans des programmes en ethnologie. L’analyse s’appuie sur un projet développé dans le cadre d’un cours de premier cycle en Folklore et ethnologie, à l’Université de Sudbury (Ontario), projet dont l’objectif principal était de mettre à l’essai ce type d’apprentissage. La description et l’analyse de l’expérience des étudiants, de leur relation avec les communautés et les milieux de pratique permettent de dégager une compréhension des forces et des limites pratiques et institutionnelles de l’application de la pédagogie expérientielle en ethnologie et anthropologie et, plus largement, en sciences sociales.
La lodyans haïtienne et Maximilien Laroche
Authors: Dorcé Ricarson
Published: October 2021

La lodyans, ce savoir-faire propre à l’Haïtien de rendre succinctement compte par exemple d’une histoire avec à la fois un esprit critique et un sens de l’humour très particulier, se transmet de génération en génération. En même temps, elle peut servir à transmettre le savoir local, à mettre en valeur l’identité collective et à critiquer l’ordre social dominant. Peu de chercheurs s’intéressent à ce patrimoine culturel immatériel. Cet article vise à analyser la lodyans dans sa dimension dialectique, et particulièrement suivant les perspectives du professeur Maximilien Laroche. Que veut dire « Bay lodians »? Quelle est la place de Justin Lhérisson dans l’art de la lodyans? Comment mobiliser la lodyans dans l’enseignement des sciences?
Droits culturels, peuples autochtones et luttes pour la reconnaissance au Nord-Cameroun
Authors: Zelao Alawadi , Atimniraye Richard
Published: October 2021

Les peuples autochtones connaissent diverses formes de domination, d’exclusion et de discrimination tant dans les sphères nationales qu’au niveau des communautés territoriales. Cette étude examine la situation des peuples autochtones au Nord-Cameroun en mettant en exergue les processus et les mécanismes à la fois historiques et sociopolitiques qui ont oeuvré à leur domination culturelle. Dans cette partie du Cameroun, les peuples autochtones sont confrontés à une dynamique de déclassement culturel qui s’exprime par une logique de nivellement mise en oeuvre par les groupes sociaux dominants. Le rapport social laisse entrevoir la suprématie des valeurs culturelles des sociétés islamiques conquérantes sur les valeurs culturelles autochtones. Pour les peuples autochtones, l’expression des droits culturels relève d’une lutte quotidienne. Le mouvement culturel autochtone qui se développe depuis quelques années s’inscrit dans cette perspective de reprise de l’identité culturelle, en même temps qu’il dévoile la volonté des peuples autochtones à vivre et à exister selon les valeurs culturelles qui les distinguent. Les droits culturels constituent un des enjeux majeurs de développement des communautés humaines au Nord-Cameroun.
Des passagers en réseaux sur le colombie (Déc. 1935-Janv. 1936) ; construction d’une fiction transatlantique
Authors: Lozère Christelle
Published: October 2021

La Croisière du Tricentenaire scénarise par une mise en scène spectaculaire, l’arrivée des délégations officielles, porteuses dans la Caraïbe des valeurs françaises, venues en nombre depuis le Havre pour inaugurer et célébrer les trois cents ans de la colonisation des Antilles et de la Guyane. Avec ses 366 passagers en réseaux, le paquebot Le Colombie des Messageries transatlantiques rassemble l’élite coloniale, politique, savante et artistique de métropole venue en représentation officielle. Il s’agira d’analyser cette fiction transatlantique au coeur de la propagande républicaine assimilationniste tout en traduisant la légèreté de cette croisière éphémère.
