Digital Technology-Driven Transformation of Teaching Model of Digital Animation Major and Enhancement of Students’ Artistic Literacy

Abstract Digital technology, at the center of the fourth technological revolution, is currently transforming all aspects of people’s lives and learning in an unprecedented manner. In light of the ongoing advancements in education technology, this study introduces an enhanced C-ADDIE teaching model, which is competence-oriented and builds on the foundation of the traditional ADDIE model while also catering to the needs of students majoring in digital animation. The enhanced fuzzy clustering algorithm establishes a portrait of the student’s behavior, followed by the introduction of a multi-attention mechanism that builds a digital professional student performance prediction model and a supplementary teaching system. We are developing a teaching model that integrates digital technology with the C-ADDIE model. The testing of the teaching system reveals that the grade prediction accuracy ranges from 88% to 98%, with an average prediction accuracy of 93.02%. The average response time is 1.5ms, the CPU usage remains stable between 5% and 23%, and the overall performance of the teaching system is good. The results of the teaching experiment show that the average grade of the teaching mode of this paper is 5.28 points higher than the average grade of the traditional teaching mode, and at the same time, it also has a significant effect on the improvement of knowledge cultivation, artistic expression and creativity, and artistic aesthetic cultivation of artistic literacy (P<0.05). This study’s results contribute to the transformation of teaching in digital animation and offer a new research idea to enhance students’ artistic literacy.

The relationship between leisure and entertainment cultural aesthetics and organisational identification: the role of healing effects

Damphu: The Symbol of Tamang Cultural Identity

Damphu, a musical instrument, embodies specific meaning in Tamang community. Since damphu is compulsorily played on the auspicious occasions, marriage, cultural ceremony and festivals, it always remains at the center of Tamang cultural values. There is an interesting story of the creation of Damphu. Tamba (Spokesperson of Tamang community) narrates the story of Pengdorje (Tamang ancestor), who created the musical instrument collecting different materials from the forests of high hill, mountain and madesh, through his song. Damphu is an important symbol of Tamang cultural identity, which is also taken as the source of Tamang knowledge and aesthetics. Against the backdrop, the paper sheds light on the creation of damphu and analyzes its cultural significance on the basis of Shantabir Lama’s (Pakhrin) book Tamba, Kaiten, Wai, Rimthim: The Tamang Ancestor’s Culture and Song (2014). I have employed Clifford Geertz’s cultural interpretation that emphasizes culture as a set of ‘control mechanism’ for the theoretical backing. On top of that, I have also consulted Amrit Yonjan- Tamang’s idea of Tamba philosophy to deal with Tamang cultural aesthetics.

Study on Green Gentrification Mechanisms and Residents’ Satisfaction in Chinese New Urban Areas: A Case Study of the Area Surrounding Julong Lake Park

As China’s urbanization rate continues to rise, new cities are constantly being built, and the popularity of sustainable concepts has led to the development of numerous green infrastructure projects. The increase in green resources has improved the overall urban environment, but this environmental improvement can lead to local stratification and give rise to a phenomenon known as “green gentrification”. Green gentrification can enhance neighborhood vitality but may also lead to negative consequences, such as the displacement of indigenous populations. This study primarily focuses on whether there is residential segregation and social differentiation between indigenous residents and newcomers due to green gentrification and whether they hold different views on green infrastructure. To address these issues and advance the cause of urban fairness and justice, break down neighborhood segregation, and promote community integration, we conducted satisfaction surveys and in-depth personal interviews with indigenous residents and newcomers regarding the Julong Lake facility, their individual circumstances, and the neighborhood relationships. The survey results revealed the following: (1) Both the indigenous residents and the newcomers expressed a relatively high satisfaction with the sports facilities at Julong Lake, but both groups reported a lower satisfaction with the neighborhood relationships. (2) The indigenous residents exhibited a lower satisfaction compared to the newcomers regarding the commercial facilities, social attributes, and green infrastructure surrounding Julong Lake. Additionally, the overall satisfaction with Julong Lake was lower for the indigenous residents compared to the newcomers. We synthesized the survey results and personal interviews with the indigenous residents and the newcomers and arrived at the following conclusions: (1) In the context of urbanization and uneven distribution of green resources in urban areas, the integration of suburban green resources with real estate development has given rise to the new phenomenon of an emerging green middle class, primarily driven by green resources. (2) The new residents exhibited higher satisfaction levels with Julong Lake park attributes and their personal circumstances compared to the long-term residents. This suggests a “green preference” among the new residents, leading to social stratification among the long-term residents driven by cultural aesthetics and value pursuits. The result of this is a stratification and adjacent residential segregation between the long-term residents and the newcomers. (3) The emerging green middle class areas have, on the one hand, promoted the migration of capital, middle-class populations, and green resources to the suburbs, to some extent favoring suburban green development. In conclusion, we hope that this research can help facilitate more equitable allocation of green resources in cities, formulate more optimal green policies, and promote harmonious coexistence and the sharing of the benefits of green development among residents of different income levels in urban areas.

Barn-tv i Skräpocen

Children’s Television in the Wasteocene. Waste as Motif, Aesthetics, and Resistance in the Children’s TV-Show Ville, Valle och Viktor upptäcker Sverige (1970) 1970s Swedish children’s culture is filled with waste. Increased environmental awareness, combined with a changed perspective on both children’s cultural aesthetics and play, contributed to a greater focus on trash, pollution, and waste materials in children’s books, theater, film, and television. This article argues that the children’s program Ville, Valle och Viktor upptäcker Sverige (1970) can be interpreted as a critique of life in the Wasteocene, the socio-ecological era that began with the Great Acceleration after World War II. The purpose of the article is to explore the many functions of waste in the TV-show. It examines the questioning of modern society based on issues of motif, aesthetics, and resistance. The analysis is based on Marco Armiero’s thoughts on the epoch “Wasteocene” and the concept of waste aesthetics, as a description of the formal experiments that characterized the 1970s children’s culture. Both ideas are drawn from research conducted within Waste studies, a growing field of cultural analysis that expands traditional approaches of ecocriticism by focusing on decay, built environments, and toxic sites. The article concludes that Ville, Valle och Viktor upptäcker Sverige undermines the hegemonic narrative of the Wasteocene in several ways: by portraying waste as valuable and useful, by placing local environmental problems in a larger context, and by conveying a sense of hope for the future.

EMOTIONAL COMPONENT OF FUTURE CHOREOGRAPHERS’ AESTHETIC CULTURE: ESSENCE, INDICATORS OF FORMATION, RESULTS OF THE DIAGNOSTIC EXPERIMENT

The experimental article highlights the essence of the emotional culture of students of higher education in the specialty 024 Choreography, indicators of the formation of its emotional component (emotional-aesthetic sensitivity, ability to aesthetic pleasure, the aesthetic emotional orientation of the personality), diagnostic methods (test questionnaire B. Dodonov “Emotional Orientation,” questionnaire by B. Bass, questionnaire by M. Rokych, included observation, mini-work “My impressions”) and its results. The levels of formation of the emotional component of the aesthetic culture of future choreographers in the experimental (EG) and control groups (CG) have been determined: a high level was demonstrated by 11.43% of the EG students and 14.71% of the CG; average – 22.86% and 23.53%, respectively; low – 65.71% and 61.76%). The rating of the emotional orientation of the personality in future choreographers is presented, such as praxic, gloristic, hedonistic, communicative, pugnacious, aesthetic, romantic, altruistic, acquisitive, and gnostic. The spaces of emotional preferences of students have been analyzed. It has made it possible to draw up a strategy for the formation of future choreographers’ aesthetic culture in a higher education institution: 1) students of higher education have a rich emotional sphere as a basis for the formation of the studied professional and personal quality in them; 2) aesthetic emotions have an intermediate character in the hierarchy of students’ emotional values, therefore, under favorable conditions of their aesthetic development, they can acquire a higher status, which corresponds to representatives of artistic professions; 3) the dominance in the sample of the practical and gloristic orientation of the personality aims at the application of active methods and techniques, pedagogical support technology based on the student-centered approach in experimental work.

Under the volcano: Encountering La(r)val anxieties in Metal

This article explores how recent intercultural contemporary concert dance collaborations in Asia and Australasia address questions of authorship and the subjectivity that concert dance performances produce. The work examined here is Metal (2020), created by Melbourne-based company Lucy Guerin Inc and Ensemble Tikoro, a heavy-metal choir based in West Java led by composer Robi Rusdiana. This work is critically analysed in terms of the production of subjectivity in dance and the influence of culture, politics and hegemonic regimes of representation in contemporary performance. Metal, which features five dancers and eight choir-members, was created in both Melbourne and Bandung. The work incorporates the aesthetics of heavy metal music culture; but it is a shadowy and decelerated piece. It has a quiet, disappearing-at-the-edges quality and a dramatic structure that develops through a series of enigmatic interactions between two groups. In these meetings, body practices and cultural practices are negotiated in a process of gradual unlearning, problematizing the conventions by which performers are turned into subjects. It is the depiction of solidities returning to a state of flux. The work was partly inspired by the place of its creation: the slopes of the active Tangkuban Perahu Volcano. Motifs of shifting earth and molten flows are referenced in both the composition of movement and sound, and in the work’s dramaturgical structure. As the work progresses, the fragments merge, culminating in a long series of tableaux performed in a wash of red light. In this volcanic scene, the performers are finally suspended in a state of potential subjectivity or becoming-individual. In this way, Metal points to the possibility of a choreographic practice that is a reversal and return to plurality, a subjectivity that is not multicultural but properly transcultural.

Fine art as an integral part of architecture: Political and social aspects of the formation of this synthesis in the 20th century

Abstract The theme of the connection of visual arts with architecture, or the cooperation of visual artists with architects in post-war Europe, basically follows two lines: a theoretical line and a political-institutional line. Just as knowledge of the history of art and the history of architecture is necessary in the analysis of this period, knowledge of the political-economic circumstances is necessary in the field of realisations in architecture, because by definition, this public art is a political affair and is not an independent creation. Art in architecture was promoted not only in communist countries (for ideological reasons), but also in Western Europe as an aesthetic cultivation of contemporary architecture. From the mid-1950s onwards, visual art in architectural space appeared more and more frequently, which led to the adoption of legislative measures that regulated and supported this practice. A gradual transformation in the understanding of the task can be observed over the period under review, or the position of public art, presented as part of architecture or public space. This is naturally due to social development. If at the beginning of the 1950s it was a mission to convey ideology and indoctrinate it, in the next stage the focus shifts more towards design with the task of cultivating the environment and creating a certain atmosphere. The study also peripherally explores forms of arts support in the context of other European countries. The idea of integration between art and architecture dates back to the very origins of both disciplines. During the avant-garde movement at the beginning of the twentieth century, it acquired a new meaning and social purpose and became one of the most defining characteristics of modernism. Modernism arose from the expectation of moral and material reconstruction of the world devastated by war, which served as a tool to strengthen collective identity and, consequently, to forge the bond between the city and its inhabitants. Our study traces the development and contexts of the relationship and funding of visual arts in architecture in the Slovak and European context in the 20th century.
