Quality Care in Residential Care and Treatment Settings in North America: From Complex Research to Four Everyday Principles for Practice
Authors: Gharabaghi Kiaras
Published: February 2024

Quality is a central topic in contemporary discussions about residential care, and specifically about group or congregate care. Such care settings have been contested in recent years specifically resulting from anecdotal evidence that quality is lacking. To this end, the response has focused on the development of quality indicators and standards. In this essay, the author argues that, although such approaches are necessary and have helped to embed evidence-based practices in residential care settings, they are not easily translated into everyday practice. Quality care must mean more than frameworks for care that are governed by professional system designs. Quality care also must include the experiences of young people living life in these settings. To this end, to help with the translation of quality care standards for residential care, the essay presents four core principles that, on the one hand, are familiar and easily translatable for youth workers and social workers in these settings, and on the other hand, honour and are congruent with core elements of almost all evidence-based practice approaches.

Gelombang elektromagnetik Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) dihasilkan oleh perangkat listrik dan sistem daya (0 – 300 Hz). Pesatnya perkembangan teknologi dan penggunaan elektronik menyebabkan efek biologis yang merugikan bagi manusia. Namun, efek biologis dari paparan medan elektromagnetik ELF adalah tidak sepenuhnya diklarifikasi. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah mengkaji pengaruh paparan medan elektromagnetik ELF terhadap persentase limfosit dan monosit pada mencit Balb/C. Jenis penelitian adalah true experimental dengan desain Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL). Mencit Balb/C yang digunakan sebanyak 18 ekor mencit balb/C jantan dengan bobot tubuh 15 – 20 gram terdiri dari kelompok kontrol, kelompok eksperimen 500 µT, dan kelompok eksperimen 1000 µT. Perlakuan diberikan secara intermiten 3 jam/hari selama 30 hari. Analisis statistik menggunakan One Way Anova dengan LSD (Least Significance Different) dan uji Kruskal Wallis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan signifikan pada rata-rata persentase limfosit dan monosit mencit Balb/C antara kelompok kontrol, kelompok eksperimen 500  μT dan kelompok eksperimen 1000 μT. Perlu dilakukan penelitian lanjutan mengenai pengaruh medan elektromagnetik terhadap limfosit dan monosit dengan intensitas yang lebih besar dan waktu pemaparan yang lebih lama.

In the middle of the late century, the concept of medicine has been reshaped and reformed by the discovery of antibiotics. Untreatable infectious diseases have become treatable, However, with time microbes adapt to resist the antibiotic treatments due to their enormous adaptive ability. Therefore, new antibiotics were required to combat these resistant bacteria. But the enormous adaptive ability of bacteria has turned the next generation of antibiotics obsolete. Thus, Nanoparticles play a crucial role due to their antibacterial activity. Besides, these can act as carriers for various antibiotics to increase their efficiency against superbugs. The current review provides an in-depth overview of nanoparticles, their biosynthesis, antibacterial activity, and synergistic effects with various antibiotics.

This work presents the study of the musical element “rhythm” in music therapy as a force in the musical experience. The general objective was to investigate the applicability of rhythm in music therapy practice. The methodology is quantitative-qualitative bibliographical re-search, with a corpus of research in the Portuguese language in the date cut from 2015 to 2017. The literature review included studies on rhythm and music therapy available in virtual data-bases. The data collection selected vignettes of clinical works from music therapists where rhythm was the primary element. The applicability and function of the rhythm in music ex-periences were highlighted with the following population: institutionalized elders, adults with mental disabilities, kids with language alteration, aphasia, and hospitalized people. The result considered the rhythm in two categories: regulatory and propelling strength in music therapy work.

Authors: Reginato Tailine Rocha , Toffolo Rael Bertarelli Gimenes
Published: February 2024

This paper aims to provide an overview of the concept of Musical Meaning in recent research in the area of Musical Cognition in Brazil, considering its underlying theoretical frameworks and contexts. The methodology consisted of surveying, analyzing, and classifying texts from SIMCAM's proceedings (Symposium on Cognition and Musical Arts) that address the con-cept of Musical Meaning and its correlations. The classification of each paper considered its proximity to one of the three strands of Cognitive Science: Classical Cognitivism, Connec-tionism, and Dynamic Cognition, as proposed by Varela (2003). Finally, we present consider-ations about the general panorama of the Musical Meaning concept in SIMCAM's history.
alidação do protocolo de avaliação em musicoterapia para bebês prematuros (PAMBP): estudo de validade de conteúdo
Authors: Ferreira Rhainara Lima Celestino , Loureiro Cybelle Maria Veiga
Published: February 2024

This research aimed to conduct a content validity study of the Music Therapy Evaluation Pro-tocol for Premature Babies (PAMBP). This work is part of a master's degree in the Graduate Program of the School of Music of the UFMG. It has the support of FAPEMIG. The evaluation was carried out by completing an opinion questionnaire between two groups of judges who collected answers from 1 to 4 on the Likert Scale about clarity, relevance, applicability, and representativeness of the protocol. Twelve music therapists were invited to participate in the evaluation. For the calculation, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was used with an expected result of at least 0.80. The result of the global CVI by the professional judges was 0.72. The test items were divided into six groups; three scores below 0.80 were obtained. The results obtai-ned in this test indicate that the PAMBP should be analyzed and modified, undergoing a new test later.

Published: February 2024

The diagnosis and treatment of cancer can affect the patient's quality of life, and music can prove to be an effective therapeutic tool. This study aims to observe the effects of music on the quality of life of patients undergoing chemotherapy. Eighteen patients diagnosed with breast cancer, virgins of previous chemotherapy treatment, separated into two groups were included in the study, where A was submi�ed to the intervention with music and group B was observational. An EORTC QLQ-C30 quality of life questionnaire and the performance scale were applied. There was a reduction in physical performance in the control group, while in the treated group, the physical factor remained the same as at the beginning of treat-ment. Study results suggested that the sample number be larger and that patients' physical functioning during treatment is evaluated to have even more noticeable results on the bene-fits of music.
Categorías de análisis tímbrico orientadas al desarrollo auditivo: aproximación desde la espectromorfología y la cognición corporeizada
Authors: Hakim Genoveva Salazar , Ocampo Juan Camilo Vásquez
Published: February 2024

In our academic context, study of timbre as a structuring parameter is not a common content in subjects oriented to the development of listening skills (Ear Training, Music Gramatics), except in some analysis scenarios oriented to composition training. Smalley (1994) argues that musical timbre deals with the unfolding and shaping of the sound spectrum, which he summarizes in the term spectromorphology. This approach includes metaphorical terms such as space, movement, and growth, used to describe and analyze the listening experience of electroacoustic music and related instrumental music. These terms seek to promote mime-sis to facilitate the conceptualization and understanding of spectromorphological aspects, which leads us to think that his proposal may be based on embodied cognitive resources such as conceptual metaphors and image schemas, based in the metaphor theory (Johnson, 1987). The objective of this work is to show advances in a study that seeks the delimitation of timbre analysis categories, oriented to the development of listening skills, focusing on making ex-plicit links between sound movement categories in Denis Smalley's spectromorphological approach and cognitive resources such as conceptual metaphor and image schemas.
Prática inicial de peças para piano com privação de feedback auditivo externo: comportamentos e focos observados
Authors: Madeira Renan Moreira , dos Santos Regina Antunes Teixeira
Published: February 2024

16 students belonging to four different academic levels had their initial practice of a piece by Franz Schubert recorded in audio and video. Each participant engaged in two experimental sessions, in two different conditions of sensory deprivation, both involving the deprivation of external auditory feedback. Condition A (simulated mental practice) involved the depriva-tions of piano and score and Condition B consisted of the practice in an electric piano that was turned off. Data that were generated, consisting of audio and video registers of the practice sessions, were analyzed aiming to identify what practice behaviors were employed during the participants’ practice as well as quantifying these behaviors so as to understand changes in how practice was approached as a function of each experienced condition. Results suggest that the simulated mental practice led the participants to approach smaller segments, with greater incidences of mistakes as participants approached bigger structural lengths of mate-rial. On the other hand, Condition B privileged the practice of bigger segments. Taken toge-ther, results indicate that mental practice propitiates the approach of smaller segments (what also makes it more fruitful), providing evidence for the management of memory-related as-pects in this modality of practice.
Ensaio sobre a natureza transcendental na performance musical: conceituação e paralelos soteriológicos
Authors: Brasil Leonardo Tubia , Gusmão Pablo da Silva
Published: February 2024

This essay aims to clarify the concept of transcendental experience in musical performance, as a way to understand, for further research, how much it can be achieved and what would be - if any - its soteriological function, i.e., of human salvation, in life of the human being. To this end, it first seeks to clarify the linguistic confusion about the transcendental term refer-ring to music and, through parallels with the ancient philosophies of the Hellenes and their understandings of experience, to discern how it occurs during the performance – or if it does, in fact – as well as understanding its limitations in this one through the limits of human knowledge regarding the transcendental. The methodology, initially, will be entirely theoret-ical, seeking bibliographical sources to substantiate any hypothesis that may arise through the interdisciplinary parallels made. Based on this, I conclude that it is something immanent, not transcendent, in which the performer reaches a state of implicit conceptualization, result-ing from the automation of studies and close to states of great tranquility and non-duality – i.e., the barrier between subject and object becomes more tenuous.
Estratégias de estudo como práticas deliberadas: a construção da performance do Concerto para Flauta e Orquestra de Villani-Côrtes
Authors: da Silva Junior José Evangelista , Tarquínio Daniel Junqueira
Published: February 2024

Villani-Côrtes has become a well-known composer in Brazil and abroad and in academia. Due to the scarcity of academic works, this text is dedicated to the process of preparing the performance of the Concerto for Flute by this composer, trying to place it in the traditional context of the instrument. As a theoretical reference, the work uses today's pillars of perfor-mance studies: Rink and the relationship between musical performance and musical analysis; Chaffin and performance dimensions; Ericsson's deliberate practice study; and Jørgensen with the application of strategies for efficient practice. As a work methodology, the con-structed procedure will be a case study, that is, the preparation of the performance of the Con-certo for Flute, in which there is a brief contextualization and analysis of the work, selection of excerpts based on the theoretical concepts mentioned, as well as the selection of practices and presentation of study strategies for preparing the performance of these excerpts from the concert.
Origem e consolidação do pianismo: expressão e cognição no desenvolvimento da performance solo
Authors: Maeshiro Midori
Published: February 2024

In the so-called classical period, music for an emerging piano developed a homophonic style that kept the textural functions of melody and accompaniment linked, generally, to the right and left hands, respectively. In the present study, I identify the emergence of the primary means by which composers and performers of that period expressively distinguished the aforementioned textural components within the repertoire for solo keyboard. Based on this, I discuss how the classical tradition of piano music bequeathed to romanticism the proce-dures of rubato (a concept originated in the textural pattern of two “layers”) and the treatment of Alberti’s bass (a performative device that introduced the textural pattern of three layers), main expressive resources of European written music for the instrument. The partial results of the research show the changes in the repertoire for piano, which made possible the defini-tive overlapping of harmonic-polyphonic components—of rhythmic-tonal events—consoli-dated in the same period in which the expressive resources of a highly touch-sensitive key-board started to demand from the performer the use of an increasingly severe cognitive load compatible with the complexity of the new compositional and expressive patterns.
Construindo a performance na orquestra: o papel das competências orquestrais
Authors: Mendes Carlos André Weidt
Published: February 2024

Although the violin section is the most numerous and requested in orchestral practice, Flesch (1930) had already observed that little is studied about the peculiarities of these musicians' per-formances. Undergraduate courses generally prepare violinists for solo performance, but the reality of a professional orchestra is very different from solo practice. The article delves into questions about the training and performance of orchestral violinists. I discuss the support of the theory of autopoiesis (Varela, 1979), one of the foundations of the enactivist paradigm of con-temporary cognitive sciences, for the argument proposed here, as well as discussing the set of principles of action in orchestral performance, which Wulfhorst (2012) called orchestral modes. I argue, therefore, that in addition to the skills that refer to the development of the violinist's sen-sorimotor practice, others only develop through collective performance over years of profes-sional performance. To include the latter in the violinist's training pedagogy, it is necessary to have a deeper understanding of the skills that underlie the principles listed by Wulfhorst.
A microanálise da aprendizagem musical autorregulada como ferramenta para o desenvolvimento da pedagogia da performance
Authors: Soares Leandro Taveira
Published: February 2024

This article presents a literature review about the Self-regulated Learning Microanalysis, one of the methodological approaches developed in the last decades to measure and evaluate the learning process in different contexts. I present a historical overview of the development of measure/assessment processes and tools for Self-Regulated Learning (SRL), the microanaly-sis approach in Social Cognitive Theory (Bandura, 1977a), and self-regulated learning (Cleary & Zimmerman, 2001; Kitsantas & Zimmerman, 2002), besides the recent proposals for the application of this evaluative/interventional technique in the musical field. This review seeks to support the arguments in favor of the viability of adopting microanalysis as a solid methodological approach and an effective didactic and academic tool for the development of performance pedagogy.

Published: February 2024

In the Clinical Speech Therapy context, music is conjugated as a therapeutic strategy allied with conventional practices. Music can improve aspects related to language and communica-tion, executive and cognitive functions, social, psychological, and emotional behaviors. Mu-sic Therapy is defined as a science that uses music as the primary therapeutic tool, a mediator of non-musical responses, including sensory, emotional, cognitive, and communicational re-sponses. This study aims to conduct an integrative review of the national and international literature based on articles on the possible interfaces between Speech Therapy and Music Therapy concerning social interaction and language in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). We question whether these interfaces will be identified, considering mainly these two aspects. The results of this study indicate few studies in Brazil on this topic focusing on children whose native language is Brazilian Portuguese. However, the research papers recorded in the international literature are in more significant number and shows that the intervention using music in Speech Therapy and Music Therapy can bring considerable benefits in the area of language and social interaction in ASD.

Published: February 2024

Market research is the process of gathering, analyzing, and interpreting information about a market, product, or service, in order to make informed business decisions. In the edtech (education technology) industry, market research can be particularly important for developing digital promotions and sales strategies. Digital promotions refer to marketing efforts that use the internet, social media, and other online platforms to reach and engage with customers. These promotions can be particularly effective in the edtech industry, as they allow companies to target specific demographics and reach a large, dispersed audience. In order to effectively execute digital promotions, edtech companies should conduct market research to understand the needs and preferences of their target customers. This may involve surveying potential users, analyzing data on customer behavior, and studying industry trends. By conducting market research, edtech companies can better understand what types of digital promotions will be most effective, and how to optimize their sales strategies for the online environment. This can help them to more effectively reach and engage with customers, and ultimately drive sales and revenue growth.

Authors: Ansarian Maryam , Baharlouei Zahra
Published: February 2024

Today, technology has an important impact on the development of medical services, especially during the outbreak of COVID-19. Telemedicine, known by terms such as telehealth and digital health, refers to the utilization of technology to provide health care services at a distance that leads to improved monitoring, detecting and treatment of disease, and provision of individual care. It has been considered in various fields such as radiology, cardiology, pulmonology, psychiatry, emergency care and surgery. The most important advantages of using telemedicine are saving time for the doctor and the patient, reducing the cost of multiple visits to the doctor, reducing the spread of contagious diseases and caring for patients who cannot see a doctor, such as the elderly. In this paper, we review the research in the field of applying telemedicine, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. Next, we discuss the challenges in the field of using telemedicine which are privacy preserving, data security, cost of infrastructures, lack of physical examination and responsibility for patients’ compensation. One of the most important challenges is privacy preserving of patients’ information during transmission and process. We categorize and compare the various methods that have been proposed to protect peoples’ privacy.

Published: February 2024

Background and aims: This research aimed to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of interval training and the use of cineole, linalool, and bourbonene on MAPK/Arc gene expression and learning in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) rats. Methods: In this experimental study, 40 AD rats were randomized into eight groups, including (1) control, (2) AD, (3) AD+aerobic training (AT), (4) AD+linalool, cineole, and bourbonene (LCB), (5) AD+AT+LCB, (6) AT+AD, (7) LCB+AD, and (8) AT+LCB+AD. AD was induced by injecting amyloid-beta (Aβ1)-42 into the hippocampus of rats. The interval training protocol was performed five days per week for eight weeks before and after AD induction. Linalool at a concentration of 25 mg/kg, cineole at a concentration of 10 µM, and β-bourbonene at a concentration of 10 µg/mL were used for eight weeks. One-way analysis of variance was used for between-group comparisons, and Tukey’s test was used for pairwise comparisons at P≤0.05. Results: AD induction caused a significant decrease in MAPK/Arc gene expression in hippocampal tissue (P=0.001). Interval exercise and consumption of three herbal drugs significantly increased gene expression of Arc (P=0.001) and MAPK (P=0.001). AD induction decreased learning (P=0.001). Interval exercise and consumption of three herbal medicines caused a significant increase in learning (P=0.001). Conclusion: Interval exercise and using three herbal medicines have more favorable effects on improving MAPK/Arc gene expression and learning in AD than each alone.

This study aims to examine the Institutional Ownership, Profitability and Pandemic Covid-19 on Firm Value. The population of this study are companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) 2018 - 2020. The sample selection in this study uses purposive sampling to obtain samples that represent the predetermined criteria. This research is included in quantitative research – secondary data. This research uses balance panel regression in processing the data. The estimation method used in this study is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). The research data is processed using E-Views 10. The results of this study indicate that institutional ownership has a significant negative effect on firm value with and without the Covid-19 variable involved. However, the profitability variable has a significant positive effect on firm value when the Covid-19 variable is not included. After the Covid-19 variable is included, profitability does not have a significant effect on firm value. The implication of this research is that individual investors and the stock market are more wary of companies that have large institutional ownership and Signaling Theory can explain phenomena and test the value of companies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Future research is expected to be able to separate the types of institutional ownership by type such as banks, foundations, brokers, etc. because each type of institutional investor has different characteristics. And further research can expand the observation period and consider other factors that affect firm value.

Published: February 2024

Currently, natural wood and products based on it are in high demand. The technology of impregnation of low-value wood species on the example of B. pendula ROTH with an oligomeric material obtained from rubber production waste has been studied. Oligomers with a styrene content of 10 and 90% were obtained. In the first case, the low molecular weight copolymer had a molecular weight of 1100-1300, and in the second - 1700-2000. Impregnation of B. pendula ROTH wood was carried out in a solution of the obtained oligomer in toluene. In order to speed up the drying process of the protective coating and increase its strength, NF-1 siccative was introduced into the impregnation composition in an amount of 4-5%. The impregnation was carried out at temperatures of 60 and 120 ˚C, followed by heat treatment at temperatures of 100 and 160 ˚C. In the work, using the theory of experimental planning, a regression model was created that made it possible to describe the effects of a number of technological indicators on increasing the water and moisture resistance of modified wood. Verification of the coefficients of the models for significance was carried out using the Student's criterion. The obtained regression models make it possible to predict the characteristics of water resistance of birch wood modified due to its impregnation with a low-molecular copolymer containing styrene at specified values of technological parameters - the styrene content in the impregnating composition, the values of the impregnation temperature and heat treatment. It is shown that in order to increase the efficiency of the impregnation and heat treatment process, it is necessary to adhere to the minimum values of the considered temperature intervals, and the styrene content in the applied oligomeric product should be ~ 90% by weight. Modifying treatment of wood with an oligomer from by-products of polybutadiene production makes it possible to improve its water resistance. The use of the proposed impregnating compounds contributes to the disposal of waste and by-products of polybutadiene production.

The Dilemma of Dual Citizenship Plan in Indonesia: An Overview of Politics and Human Rights
Authors: Ramdhani Hilal , Novian Rayhan Musa
Published: February 2024

The development of globalization has had an impact on the perspectives of Indonesian citizens, especially diaspora groups who wish to apply a dual citizenship legal status, because it is considered to have a positive impact on their lives. Pressure from diaspora groups has received various rejections from nationalist groups who view the implementation of dual citizenship as a potential threat to security and political instability in Indonesia. The method used in this study is a library method that uses various previous studies as a research data base. This study uses the political theory of citizenship initiated by Stokke, that citizenship has four dimensions, namely legal status, rights, membership, and participation related to the plan to implement dual citizenship in Indonesia, especially from a political and human rights perspective. The results of the study show that empirically dual citizenship prioritizes aspects of human rights, especially state protection for diaspora groups and returning the rights of citizens who were exiled due to politics in the New Order era. However, the application of dual citizenship also requires special studies, especially regarding political rights, because it involves various fundamental issues within the Indonesian state, such as getting the opportunity to vote and be elected in general elections. The basic problem is also related to the clarity of the ideology of dual citizenship, because only Indonesia implements Pancasila as the state ideology. The conclusion of the research results shows that political and human rights views have become a debate used by groups that oppose or support the plan to implement dual citizenship in Indonesia.

Authors: Gultom Harry Gregorius , Rahayu Ning
Published: February 2024

This research will analyze the effectiveness of the policy of repatriating foreign assets into the country in the Voluntary Disclosure Program. Researchers used the 7's framework proposed by McKinsey consultants with the elements of shared values, staff, system, structure, strategy, skills, and style in assessing the effectiveness of asset repatriation. This research aims to determine whether the repatriation of assets in the Voluntary Disclosure Program has been effective and the inhibiting factors in carrying out asset repatriation by the Directorate General of Taxes. This research uses a post-positivist approach with a descriptive research type. Data collection techniques were obtained through literature studies and field studies. Field studies were conducted using in-depth interviews with relevant stakeholders such as the Directorate General of Taxes, Academics, the House of Representatives, and Practitioners. The research results show that the elements of shared values, structure, and style are practical, but the elements of strategy, skills, staff, and systems could be more. There are also obstacles faced by the Directorate General of Taxes, namely policies implemented at the wrong time due to the COVID-19 pandemic, taxpayer assets that are not liquid plus the shadow of a global recession due to the pandemic, programs that are less attractive to taxpayers, lack of legal certainty, regarding the Voluntary Disclosure Program policy, as well as the unstable economic and political conditions in Indonesia due to the pandemic.

This study aims to investigate the impact of Per Capita Income, Inflation Rate, and 1-Month Time Deposit Interest Rate on the Number of 1-Month Time Deposit at PT. Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) in Indonesia during the period 2001-2022. The data used in this study is secondary and obtained from published financial statements, including official sources such as the websites of Bank Indonesia, Bank Tabungan Negara, and the Central Statistics Agency. The data collection time span covers the period from 2001 to 2022. This study requires three independent variables, namely Per Capita Income, Inflation Rate, and 1-Month Time Deposit Interest Rate, and also a dependent variable, namely the Number of 1-Month Time Deposit Deposits. The results showed that together, Per Capita Income, Inflation Rate, and 1-Month Time Deposit Interest Rate have a significant impact on the Number of 1-Month Time Deposit Deposits at PT. Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) in Indonesia. This can be inferred from a statistical F probability value that is lower than the significance level of α (0.05), which is 0.0000000 < α (0.05). More specifically, individual Per Capita Income has been proven to have a significant influence on the Number of 1-Month Time Deposit Deposits at PT. Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) in Indonesia. However, individually, the Inflation Rate and 1-Month Time Deposit Interest Rate are not proven to have a significant influence on the Number of 1-Month Time Deposit at PT. Bank Tabungan Negara (BTN) in Indonesia.The ability of the three independent variables to explain the dependent variable is measured by an adjusted R-Square value of 0.878021. This indicates that the contribution of the three independent variables to the dependent variable is about 87.8%, while the remaining 12.2% is influenced by other factors not studied in this study.

Authors: Criado-Peña Miriam
Published: February 2024

Recipe books are frequently encountered in Early Modern English scientific writing. They are of paramount importance to understand medical practice in the period and they usually gather collections of culinary and/or medical recipes. The present paper investigates the medical recipes contained in MS Wellcome 3009 (ff. 17r–90r), a 17th-century recipe book housed at the Wellcome Library in London. The medical recipes are analyzed in terms of their structural and linguistic features and, in this sense, five different stages are distinguished within the recipes: a) title; b) ingredients; c) preparation; d) application; and e) efficacy phrase.
How Swedish Curricula Legitimise the Engagement with Literature in English
Authors: Dodou Katherina
Published: February 2024

Literary works are read and studied in English across the different parts of the Swedish education system, primary education, secondary education, higher education and teacher education. This article considers the rationale—the purposes and benefits—for doing so that are implicitly or explicitly pointed to in curricular documents, with special focus on the kinds of engagement with literature that are authorised by the academic English subject community for the Swedish academic and school contexts. By juxtaposing and synthesising findings from three previous curricular studies, the article identifies substantive justifications and, drawing on linguistic legitimation theory, discursive forms of legitimation that interoperate in syllabi and in other steering documents to claim the validity of engaging with literature in English. It shows that the rationale that remains constant across the education system relies on the links between literature and cultural learning, or analysis, and likewise on the potential of engagement with literature in English for furthering an understanding of the world and for fostering a desired democratic citizen ethos. The cross-educational perspective of the article shows that the interdependence between the different parts of the education system has both thematic and conceptual consequences for the kinds of engagement with literature that are given the status of official legitimations.
Aesthetic Dimensions of Literary Studies: Multimodality and Creative Learning
Authors: Svensson Anette
Published: February 2024

In Sweden, the occurrence of fictional texts in various media formats, including TV series, films, and computer games, most of which are in English, is constantly growing. In an increasingly digitalised society, there is a need for teaching that understands and meets the demand for aesthetic values as well as multimodality and creativity. Highlighting the aesthetic dimension of literary studies, this article reports on a small-scale practice-based study that explores students’ experiences of working with a teaching unit that focuses on text universes, literary productions, and creative learning. It argues for an innovative type of course design with the potential to strengthen students’ engagement in, and their self-assessed understanding of, literary texts, which can inspire future English teachers to adopt similar approaches in their own teaching practice.
The teaching unit was included in a programme for upper-secondary subject teachers in English. The empirical data consists of 14 students’ responses to a questionnaire that was conducted after the completion of the unit. The study shows that although some students initially found the teaching unit challenging, they later acknowledged having acquired significant insights into their own and their peers’ creative processes. Because student autonomy and student responsibility are central aspects when teaching for creativity, the teaching unit provided the students with a model that addresses the what and the how of literature teaching and learning, a model that they themselves want to use in their future careers as English teachers at the upper secondary level.
