title: Ecosomatics and communities

authors: Hunter, Victoria

subjects: Community

abstract: Roundtable discussion "Communities" with the LOBA association (Bolewa Sabourin, Puskarini Chellapermal), Laetitia Angot (choreographer, France), Karen Barbour (choreographic artist-researcher, NZ/Aotearoa), Victoria Hunter (choreographic artist-researcher, England). Translator: Léa Bonneau-Deborde.

Ten years after the international conference "Ecosomatics" hosted by the CN D in 2014, and the publication Ecosomatics: Thinking about ecology from the gesture (2019), the Soma & Po group is reactivating a meeting around the future of this term. While the environmental disaster multiplies the levels of precariousness (material, psychological, emotional, network), how do somatic practices participate in a reconfiguration of the ways of inhabiting the earth?

title: Investigating scientific literacy: Scientist’s habits of mind as evidenced by their rationale of science and religious beliefs

authors: Coll, Richard K.

subjects: science

abstract: Science and technology have been incredibly success¬ful in purely technical terms. For instance, international air travel, space flight, and curing of hitherto untreatable medical illnesses all are now routine events. One feature of the incredible (and seemingly ever increasing) advance of science and technology is a sense of unease amongst the general population of science’s potential to change our lives, in sometimes unpredictable and alarming ways. Public understanding of science, or scientific literacy, is of increasing concern worldwide according to much recent literature.

title: The arguing genre and the explaining genre: A comparison in terms of discourse relational analyses of texts written in English and texts written in Māori

authors: Crombie, Winifred

subjects: Māori linguistics

abstract: There is a commonly held belief that those who are immersed in indigenous cultures have a tendency, when constructing academic texts, to avoid sequential, deductive argumentation. We report here on a comparison of two groups of texts exhibiting two different genres - 'explaining' and 'arguing'. One group of texts was written in Māori by indigenous authors, the other group was written in English by non-indigenous authors. Our findings are that although the percentage use of logico-deductive relationships is roughly equivalent for both groups of texts/ writers in the case of the explaining genre, the Māori texts/ writers use almost twice the percentage of logico-deductive relationships as do the English texts/ writers.
