description: In order to comments about the controversy over rice policy, we analyzed the present situation of structural change on paddy farming, profitability and cost level of rice production, and strategies on paddy field farms. The main conclusions of this survey are summarized as follows. (1) According to the increase of rented land, some of full-time farming firms expands their farm size rapidly. The size of family farms reached 30-40ha, and agricultural firms which hire full-time employees extended to 50-70ha. In that sense, agricultural structure has been drastically changing in recent years. (2) Large-scale farms are operating their farm-land efficiently, but after 2000 their agricultural income after deducting subsidies went into the red, and the ratio of subsidies to gross income rose to about 40 percent. This fact means that nowadays paddy field farms are sustained by political financial supports. (3) Rice production costs, including general and administrative expenses, of large-scale rice crop farm topped 16 thousand yen per 60kg. This fact means that even for the large scale rice crop farm of 70ha, it is impracticable to deduct the production cost under 30 yen per kg; therefore, we can't foresee the Japanese rice production sector developing as an export industry. (4) Recently many paddy field farms are trying the diversification strategy, and also promoting corporate responsibility as a supplier of food. It is difficult to handle both price support policy and supply control on rice, and maintenance of rigid supply control might require the continuation of a lower level of rice prices. In those situations, direct income compensation is essential for paddy field farms, but considering the above facts, the subsidy will account for the greater part of farm gross income. It is a serious situation for farmers, and likely to exert a bad influence for farmers' consciousness and behavior as economic units. Therefore, a cross compliance system will be needed for direct income compensation to keep the farmers' minds on rational farming behaviors. In addition it is important to increase the productivity of dry fields crops cultivated on paddy fields through land improvement and geographically arranged accumulation of rented land.

description: This master thesis focus on the concept of Industry 4.0 and its potential nexus to the environment. The research questions wants to elaborate what the most prominent positive as well as negative changes concerning the environment that Industry 4.0 entails are. In order to answer this question, the existing pertinent literature has been searched and relevant findings have been inserted into this thesis. In order to not only rely on already existing research, two interviews with renowned experts have been conducted as an additional source of information. When combining all of the findings, the result is that the changes coming with Industry 4.0 will have positive as well as negative effects on the environment. The increase in demand for energy can be named as a potential negative effect on the environment, while the conservation and reduction in use of resources can be stated as a positive effect. Due to the early stage of implementation of Industry 4.0, hardly any hard facts and mostly forecasts and expectations were used as the base for the assumptions made.
Behaviour predictors of child development and parenting stress trajectories of children with autism
Creators: name: Bopp, Karen Dorothy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Little is known about the factors that predict change over time in children with autism and their parents. This research addressed the predictive relationship of six child behaviours - acting-out, sleep disturbances, eating difficulties, stereotypic behaviours, social unresponsiveness, and inattentiveness - on changes in child language, cognitive, and adaptive skills and on changes in parenting stress over 2 years. Participants were 70 young children with autism (mean age: 4;2) and their mothers. Child behaviour variables were constructed using a six step procedure. Structural equation modeling was used to explore the relationships between child behaviours and child and parenting stress trajectories from T1 to T4. Results indicated that (a) high scores for acting-out behaviour at T1 predicted a greater increase in the rate of change (ROC) of expressive vocabulary, expressive language, and social skills; (b) high scores for stereotypic behaviour at T1 and reduced eating difficulties over 6 months predicted a greater increase in the ROC of social skills; (c) reduced stereotypic behaviour over 6 months predicted a greater increase in the ROC of cognitive skills; (d) reduced stereotypic behaviour over 1 year predicted a greater increase in the ROC of expressive language and daily living skills; (e) high scores for inattentive behaviour at T1 predicted less increase in the ROC of receptive and expressive vocabulary, expressive language, and daily living skills; and (f) improvement in inattentive behaviours over 1 year predicted a greater increase in the ROC of expressive vocabulary. The results also revealed that: (a) reduced acting-out behaviour over 6 months predicted less increase in the ROC of maternal stress related to managing children's behaviour; (b) reduced sleep disturbances and stereotypic behaviour over 6 months predicted a greater increase in the ROC of overall maternal stress and specific stress related to parent competence; (c) reduced eating difficulties over 1 year predicted a greater increase in the ROC of maternal stress related to managing children's behaviour; and (d) reduced inattentive behaviour over 6 months predicted less increase in the ROC of maternal stress related to both parent competence and parent-child interactions. Interpretations of the findings, implications for treatment efficiency, and considerations for future research are discussed.

description: We investigate whether hydrodynamic attractors are present in simulations of the quark-gluon plasma formed in heavy-ion collisions. We argue that Lagrangian schemes to solve the relativistic viscous fluid equations can be particularly useful to characterize the properties of attractors in heavy ion collisions. Preliminary results are shown in Israel-Stewart theory to support such a claim. We also discuss how to perform the slow-roll expansion in Israel-Stewart theory undergoing a general flow, which naturally leads to the definition of a resummed shear viscosity coefficient that depends on the gradients of the hydrodynamic fields.

description: Many countries in the Sub-Saharan region and especially in West Africa are among the poorest and least developed regions in the world. In particular, the possibility of access to electricity remains one of the biggest challenges of its population despite its enormous potential for renewable technologies. Therefore, this master thesis examines by means of a case study on Senegal, why the implementation of renewable energy projects in Sub-Saharan Africa is so slowly evolving and establishes recommendation how the Senegalese government can overcome the barriers of renewable energy implementation by appropriate policy measures and financial incentives. First of all, a country overview with data about the current electricity sector and the legal framework in Senegal is presented. Further, the appropriate technologies regarding its renewable potentials are discussed. Next, the opportunities, barriers and solutions for a successful implementation of renewables are presented. It is found that Senegal has already implemented some policy measures to improve the distribution of electricity and the country’s energy mix. However, the vast opportunities of these innovative technologies can never be harnessed without the appropriate application of certain legal regulations, suitable financial measures and enhanced technological capabilities.

description: Following amendments to food supply legislation in 2004, the distribution of rice has become increasingly market driven due to the ability of farmers and agricultural co-operatives to sell their produce directly to the food service industry. This flexibility allows agricultural co-operatives to tailor their production to the needs of rice processors and consumers and thus deliver a better end product. Rice producing districts have embraced the changes and the resulting competition has led to the adoption of new rice varieties, improved management practices and enlarged scale farming. Along with the economic benefits, the eating quality of rice has also improved significantly. However, these changes have not been a panacea for the problems facing rice farmers. Since the 1990s, the unit price of rice has fallen substantially, putting farmers under tremendous financial stress. This has been partly due to a glut in supply driven by farmers choosing not to participate in the Paddy Set-Aside crop rotation program. Subsidies allocated to farmers who take part in the program and rotate rice crops with soybeans, feed crops, wheat and so forth have not sufficiently compensated for the production costs for these crops and thus the number of farmers participating in the program has gradually decreased. The new income compensation policy in 2010 will not fully address these issues.

description: Current societies face accelerated anthropogenic climate change and accordingly have searched for mitigation responses. Voluntary carbon offsetting (VCO) schemes provide for CO₂ footprint compensation and account for climate injustices by channelling funds to developing countries. This research analyses to what extent VCO provides an effective mitigation tool for developing countries in the context of cookstove promotion. Globally, 2.8 billion people continue to rely on traditional and polluting technologies for cooking which concurs with multiple development concerns. Cookstove promotion reduces CO₂ and black carbon emissions and is considered best practice of consolidating greenhouse gas reductions and sustainable development. A novel case study of Nepal, a country heavily reliant on solid biomass, illustrates practical carbon credit potentials and challenges for VCO financing of cookstove programs. First, the carbon price is too low for profitable project design and coupled with an oversupply of offsets leads to risks and uncertainty. Moreover, the certification process is strenuous and deters additional mitigation projects. Nonetheless, the voluntary scheme is advantageous because it differentiates between cookstove projects and other market activities. Thereby clean cooking earns a premium price for its development co-benefits. Moreover, the scheme has led to capacity building and fostered environmental entrepreneurs in Nepal. The thesis concludes that with 63.4 MtCO₂e annual offsets, VCO represents no profound mitigation instrument in absolute emissions reductions. This might change, however, with the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement and a sectoral emissions cap for international aviation. On the other hand, VCO provides capacity building and the possibility to monetize co-benefits of cookstove programs. In Nepal, funding from the carbon market could help alleviating more than three million households from indoor air pollution, coinciding with climate benefits. Lastly, it is recommended to measure black carbon emissions reductions for offset issuance since the substance purportedly adds the second strongest forcing on the climate system.

We use the newest available experimental data for the non-strange mesons and baryons, as well as fill in some missing states according to the observation that the high-lying states form chiral multiplets. The results show, especially for the case of the mesons, that the Hagedorn growth continues with the increasing mass, with the new states lining up along the exponential growth.

description: We consider the optimal cloning of quantum coherent states with single-clone and joint fidelity as figures of merit. Both optimal fidelities are attained for phase space translation covariant cloners. Remarkably, the joint fidelity is maximized by a Gaussian cloner, whereas the single-clone fidelity can be enhanced by non-Gaussian operations: a symmetric non-Gaussian 1-to-2 cloner can achieve a single-clone fidelity of approximately 0.6826, perceivably higher than the optimal fidelity of 2/3 in a Gaussian setting. This optimal cloner can be realized by means of an optical parametric amplifier supplemented with a particular source of non-Gaussian bimodal states. Finally, we show that the single-clone fidelity of the optimal 1-to-infinity cloner, corresponding to a measure-and-prepare scheme, cannot exceed 1/2. This value is achieved by a Gaussian scheme and cannot be surpassed even with supplemental bound entangled states.

description: Deforestation in Indonesia is a crisis of global dimensions. It has attracted worldwide attention in recent years, particularly due to forest fires leading to a transboundary haze crisis and the pressure of palm oil plantations causing the loss of habitat and biodiversity. While previous studies tend to focus on the drivers of deforestation, they fail to understand why there is no general consensus on the actual extent of deforestation in Indonesia. This thesis seeks to analyze the major data sources for the deforestation rate in Indonesia and to understand why their numbers differ from each other. Drawing on existing literature and expert interviews, the thesis analyzes five different sources in more detail: The Indonesian Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF), the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the Global Forest Watch (GFW) using the data from Hansen et al. (2013), Margono et al. (2014) and Gaveau et al. (2016). The findings indicate that there are four major factors causing the discrepancies in data: interests / purpose of existence of the respective source, definitions of forest area and changes, methodology, and other factors particularly concerning governance issues in the Indonesian context. The findings of this study suggest that particularly different interests have a strong influence on applied definitions and methodologies, and subsequently on the reported rates of forest loss. This thesis argues that due to different interests, which are often rooted in the purposes of existence and longstanding values of the institutions, discrepancies in data exist and will continue to persist in the future. Therefore, this thesis recommends that the interests of the reporting organization have to align with the interests for which the data are used in order to meet stated objectives. Furthermore, it provides a framework for potential fields of application of the data from the examined sources.

Issues and Possibilities of a New Scheme for Rice Production Control A Case Study of Niigata Prefecture

description: This study shows a basic proposal of an alternative scheme of rice production control as an ‘environment-conscious' set-aside program. The scheme is designed to consist of a regular set-aside program to produce crops other than rice as well as an environmental program of extensive rice farming practice to reduce rice yield by half with few chemical applications as a cross compliance. It will be able to ensure full usage of paddy lands for agricultural production and increase multifunctional benefits from biodiversity and landscape conservation. Whether it is actually possible to implement the new scheme is likely to depend upon field conditions and the existence of local leading farmers. The plan of the set-aside program should take into consideration both mechanical and biological conditions of local fields. Mechanical conditions such as plot formation and accessibility of field passage are significant to encourage large scale farming of both rice and the other crops efficiently. Ground water level for drainage is an important biological condition that determines the performance of raising other crops. Small farm managements under the worse biological condition of paddy fields might be likely to adopt an environmental program with direct payments. The study constructs its own analytical database of field conditions and rice farming on a local field basis, examines an appropriate grant level to stimulate program participation, and calculates a quantitative result of expected set-aside allocation. A joint application of new extensive farming and regular set-aside programs could effectively accomplish a national rice control plan without entailing wasteland.

Sampling is performed with the Wolff cluster flipping algorithm, and histogram reweighting together with finite-size scaling analyses are then used to extract a precise functional form for the probability distribution of the magnetization, $P(m)$, in the thermodynamic limit. This form should serve as a benchmark for other models in the three-dimensional Ising Universality class.

description: In expectation of growing cheese consumption, natural cheese production is being increased to reduce surplus milk and create high added value in raw milk. Other studies found positive trends in cheese consumption. However, those studies neither clarified recent trends, nor distinguished natural cheese from processed cheese. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the structure of natural cheese consumption, focusing on habit formation. We test structural changes in cheese demand using dynamic panel analysis based on family income and expenditure survey data (by City with Prefectural Government), and then estimate habit formation in natural cheese demand after structural change using a dynamic LA/AIDS model based on aggregated POS data. The findings are summarized as follows. First, a gradual structural change is found in cheese demand from 1988 to 1999, and a habit formation effect in cheese demand gradually decreased. Second, based on analysis of natural cheese demand after structural change, a habit formation effect in high priced natural cheese (e.g., Camembert, Gouda) is greater than those of the other kinds of natural cheese and processed cheese. Third, high priced natural cheese is more price inelastic and expenditure elastic than the others. In the mature stage of cheese demand, such a natural cheese market is expected to grow and to be suitable for value added products.

We show that for the realistic magnetic structure of A-type there exists a complete nesting betweeen two e_g-bands. As a result there occurs an instability towards an excitonic insulator-like state -- an electron-hole pairing with the wave vector Q=(π,π), which opens a gap in the spectrum and makes the system insulating. In the resulting state there appeasr an orbital ordering -- orbital density wave (ODW), the type of which coincides with those existing in LaMnO3.

Causes and Effects of Technology Adoption Empirical Evidence from Direct Rice Seeding in Japan

description: Rice farmers in Japan are becoming increasingly interested in direct seeding technology as a way to save labor spent on seed raising and transplanting. This article explores the technology adoption mechanisms of direct seeding, as well as the effects of technology adoption on mixed farming, and farm scale. In estimating adoption mechanisms, attention was paid to both the farm's efficiency, measured by frontier cost function, and to the joint decisions relating to direct seeding and outsourcing. Multinomial probit estimates showed that a farm's efficiency and scale had significant and enormous impacts on the adoption decision, and that direct seeding adopters and outsourcing adopters had contrasting farm characteristics. These empirical results imply that demand for direct seeding must grow continuously if the increasing trend in farm size continues, that a farmer's ability or skill is the key to adoption, and that targeting must be effective when conducting technical guidance and consultation for direct seeding. Among the effects of direct seeding, little is known about how farmers utilize their saved time in further productive activities such as mixed farming or expanding the size of the farm. However, these effects were not found clearly from parametric models and propensity score matching. This result implies the need for further investigation on the way to utilize saved labor to fully realize the potential gain of direct seeding technology.
Entanglement and Bell Inequalities

description: The entangled quantum states play a key role in quantum information. The association of the quantum state vector with each individual physical system in an attributive way is a source of many false paradoxes and inconsistencies. The paradoxes are avoided if the purely statistical interpretation (SI) of the quantum state vector is adopted. According the SI the quantum theory (QT) does not provide any deterministic prediction for any individual experimental result obtained for a free physical system, for a trapped ion or for a quantum dot. In this article it is shown that if the SI is used then, contrary to the general belief, the QT does not predict for the ideal spin singlet state perfect anti-correlation of the coincidence coumts for the distant detectors. Subsequently the various proofs of the Bell's theorem are reanalyzed and in particular the importance and the implications of the use of the unique probability space in these proofs are elucidated. The use of the unique probability space is shown to be equivalent to the use of the joint probability distributions for the non commuting observables. The experimental violation of the Bell's inequalities proves that the naive realistic particle like spatio- temporal description of the various quantum mechanical experiments is impossible. Of course it does not give any argument for the action at the distance and it does not provide the proof of the completeness of the QM. The fact that the quantum state vector is not an attribute of a single quantum system and that the quantum observables are contextual has to be taken properly into account in any implementation of the quantum computing device.

description: Es un contexto de expansion del mercado de alimentos ecologicos a nivel mundial, Espana constituye un caso particular. A pesar de que la superficie destinada a este tipo de cultivo crece a un ritmo elevado, la demanda no es capaz de absorber la oferta de alimentos, por lo que gran parte de estos se destinan a los mercados exteriores. En este sentido, el desarrollo de la demanda interna es una prioridad, para lo que se precisa un mayor conocimiento de las pautas de consumo de este mercado. Asi, en este taabajo se estudia la influencia de las variables sociodemograficas sobre la compra de alimentos ecologicos mediante un analisis de datos de panel de consumidores; lo que permite completar la informacion obtenida en otros estudios en los que no hay convergencia de resultados. Finalmente, los resultados ponen de manidiensto que no existe un perfil estandar de consumidor de alimentos ecologicos sino que este varia segun la categoria de producto. In a context of expansion of organic food market globally, Spain is a particular case. Although the area under this crop grows at a rapid pace, the demand can not absorb the supply of food, so most of them are destined for foreign markets. In this sense, the development of domestic demand is a priority, which requires a better understanding of consumption patterns. Thus, in this paper we study the influence of sociodemographic variables on the purchase of organic food through an analysis of consumer panel data; this allowing complete information obtained in other studies in which there is no convergence of results. Finally, the results show that there is no standard consumer profile of organic food but this varies by product category.

description: We quantify the relative role of galaxy environment and bar presence on AGN triggering in face-on spiral galaxies using a volume-limited sample with $0.02 < z < 0.055$, $M_r < 19.5$, and $σ> 70 \rm ms s^{-1}$ selected from SDSS Data Release 7. To separate their possible entangled effects, we divide the sample into bar and non-bar sample, and each sample is further divided into three environment cases of isolated galaxies, interacting galaxies with a pair, and cluster galaxies. The isolated case is used as a control sample. For these six cases, we measure AGN fractions at a fixed central star formation rate and central velocity dispersion, $σ$. We demonstrate that the internal process of the bar-induced gas inflow is more efficient in AGN triggering than the external mechanism of the galaxy interactions in groups and cluster outskirts. The significant effects of bar instability and galaxy environments are found in galaxies with a relatively less massive bulge. We conclude that from the perspective of AGN-galaxy co-evolution, a massive black hole is one of the key drivers of spiral galaxy evolution. If it is not met, a bar instability helps the evolution, and in the absence of bars, galaxy interactions/mergers become important. In other words, in the presence of a massive central engine, the role of the two gas inflow mechanisms is reduced or almost disappears. We also find that bars in massive galaxies are very decisive in increasing AGN fractions when the host galaxies are inside clusters.

description: We present a unified picture of flavor and electroweak symmetry breaking at the TeV scale. Flavor and Higgs bosons arise as pseudo-Goldstone modes in a nonlinear sigma model. Explicit collective symmetry breaking yields stable vacuum expectation values and masses protected at one loop by the little-Higgs mechanism. The coupling to the fermions through a Yukawa lagrangian with a U(1) global flavor symmetry generates well-definite mass textures that correctly reproduce the mass hierarchies and mixings of quarks and leptons. The model is more constrained than usual little- Higgs models because of bounds on weak and flavor physics. The main experimental signatures testable at the LHC are a rather large mass mh0 = 317+/-80 GeV for the (lightest) Higgs boson and a characteristic spectrum of new bosons and fermions with masses around the TeV scale.
title: Bhutan's rural electrification by renewable energy sources: analysis of development policies, technologies, and their socio-economic and environmental impacts

description: The Kingdom of Bhutan was long counted among the poorest of the least developed countries in the world. However, due to its immense hydropower potential and with considerable foreign technical and financial assistance, Bhutan achieved a rapid development since the late 20th century which is mainly based upon renewable energy harnessing and thus unique. This master thesis examines if Bhutan’s increased electricity generation also lead to the inclusive and reliable access to electricity for its largely rural population by analysing the technologies chosen in development policies and their respective socio Beconomic and environmental impacts through a desk review. It is found that Bhutan’s rural electrification was overall remarkable and considerably improved the living conditions of the rural population and that environmental impacts have been negligible in smaller power projects. However, the latter are increasingly scrutinized with the accelerated development of large (hydro)power projects as processes in the past exhibited substantial shortcomings.

description: We systematically analyze the supersymmetric contributions to the mixing CP asymmetries and branching ratios of B -> Phi K(S) and B -> eta(prime) K(S) processes. We consider both gluino and chargino exchanges in a model independent way by using the mass insertion approximation method. While we adopt the QCD factorization approach for evaluating the corresponding hadronic matrix elements, a critical comparison with predictions in naive factorization one is also provided. We find that pure chargino contributions cannot accommodate the current experimental results on CP asymmetries, mainly due to b -> s gamma constraints. We show that charged Higgs contributions can relax these constraints making chargino responsible for large asymmetries. On the other hand, gluino exchanges can easily saturate both the constraints on B -> Phi K(S) and B -> eta(prime) K(S) CP asymmetries. Moreover, we also find that the simultaneous contributions from gluino and chargino exchanges could easily account for the present experimental results on the mentioned asymmetries. Remarkably, large experimentally allowed enhancements of B -> eta(prime) K(S) branching ratio can easily be achieved by the contribution of two mass insertions in gluino exchanges. Finally, we analyze the correlations between the CP asymmetries of these processes and the direct CP asymmetry in b -> s gamma decay. When all experimental constraints are satisfied, supersymmetry favors large and positive values of b -> s gamma asymmetry.

description: Die Transkription von Interviewaufnahmen ist ein notwendiger, aber mühsamer Schritt in vielen qualitativen Forschungsprojekten. KI-gestützte Spracherkennung versprach, dies zu erleichtern, war aber oft teuer und/oder in Bezug auf den Datenschutz fragwürdig.Das änderte sich, als OpenAI, das Unternehmen hinter ChatGPT, ein quelloffenes KI-Modell zur Spracherkennung veröffentlichte, das zu den besten gehört, die es derzeit auf diesem Gebiet gibt. Es ist kostenlos und kann vor allem lokal auf dem eigenen Computer laufen. Sensible Audioaufnahmen müssen nicht mehr in die Cloud hochgeladen werden.Kai Dröges Software „noScribe“, die ebenfalls kostenlos und quelloffen erhältlich ist, basiert auf diesem KI-Modell und ist speziell auf die Transkription qualitativer Interviews zugeschnitten. Im Workshop wird er diese Software demonstrieren und Möglichkeiten und Grenzen von KI-gestützten Transkriptionen in der qualitativen Sozialforschung diskutieren.

description: We discuss the use of a region of uniform and constant magnetic field in order to implement a two-state atomic polarizer for an H(2S) beam. We have observed that a device with such field configuration is capable of achieving an efficient polarization for a wide range of magnetic field intensities and atomic velocities. In addition, we establish a criterion that must be met to confirm a successful polarization. That is possible due to a specific beating pattern for the Lyman-$α$ radiation expected for the outgoing two-state atomic beam.

description: The effective four-dimensional, linearised gravity of a brane world model with one extra dimension and a single brane is analysed. The model includes higher order curvature terms (such as the Gauss-Bonnet term) and a conformally coupled scalar field. Large and small distance gravitational laws are derived. In contrast to the corresponding Einstein gravity models, it is possible to obtain solutions with localised gravity which are compatible with observations. Solutions with non-standard large distance Newtonian potentials are also described.

On the geometrical origin of periodicity in blazar-type sources

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Periodicities in blazar light curves may be related to helical trajectories in extragalactic radio jets by differential Doppler boosting effects. We consider ballistic and non-ballistic (i.e., radial) trajectories and discuss three possible periodic driving mechanisms for the origin of helical jet paths, namely, orbital motion in a binary black hole system (BBHS), jet precession, and intrinsic jet rotation. It is shown that precessional-driven ballistic motion is unlikely to result in observable periods of less than several tens of years. We demonstrate that for non-ballistic helical motion the observed period is generally strongly shortened relative to the real physical driving period because of light-travel time effects. Internal jet rotation may thus account for observed periods $P_{\rm obs} \leq 10$ days. Periodicity due to orbital-driven (non-ballistic) helical motion, on the other hand, is usually constrained to periods of $P_{\rm obs} \geq 10$ days, while Newtonian-driven precession is unlikely to be responsible for periodicity on a timescale $P_{\rm obs} \leq 100$ days but may well be associated with periods of $P_{\rm obs} \geq 1$ yr.

Of stones and silences : storying the trace of the other in the autobiographical and textile text of art/teaching
Creators: name: Kind, Sylvia Christina
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This inquiry explores the play of the personal and the ongoing work of becoming a teacher as it opens up the artistic, autobiographic, and incomplete textile text of art/teaching. It examines what can be learned from the personal and the reciprocity between a teacher’s living and art/teaching. It seeks to make teaching and learning visible, open it to critical discussion, and to invite others to enter into complicated conversations concerning the particularities, intimacies, and undoings that shape the text of teaching and the becoming of teachers. Using Emmanuel Levinas’ ethics of relationality as the frame for this inquiry I explore how teaching can story the trace of the other. And in particular, how vulnerability, suffering, irreparable dependency, silence, absence and loss press in and obligate a response. In doing this my purpose is to move beyond a focus on agency, emancipation, and self-becoming and to consider those who cannot, and may not ever be able to, represent or speak for themselves. This means a move towards receptivity and susceptibility where the utterance and proximity of the other takes a more central role. It means listening and giving attention to difference and dependency and creating the conditions to learn from and be changed by the other. Through a/r/tography, autobiography, art making, and writing as research I construct parallel narratives in image and in text. I recount personal narratives of bereavement and disability, how these experiences shape, provoke, and open up my art/teaching, and the difference they can make in curriculum, pedagogy, and art/teacher education practices. This study situates autobiography as an inquiry that focuses not on my identity, or how I might become a better teacher or understand more fully my own life and art/teaching, rather how other’s stories can weave through my own and find their own presence--an irreducible presence that preserves their alterity. It challenges artist/researcher/teachers to consider meanings beyond self and beyond individuals as rational and autonomous beings. And it prompts teachers to consider more deeply the difficulties and intimacies of their own lives and to consider these as the very substance and structures of their art/teaching.
