Crafting literary Urdu: Mirza Hatim’s engagement with Vali Dakhani

AbstractThe emergence in eighteenth-century India of literary compositions that used the elite registers of what was, at the time, called ‘Rekhtah’, and later defined as Urdu, is poorly understood. Conventionally, after an initial infatuation in Delhi with the works of Vali Dakhani,1 a mid-century break is assumed, exemplified by the revision of Zuhur ud-Din Hatim’s Divan as Divanzadah in the 1750s. Scholars have viewed this as a radical intervention in the creation of Urdu, which excised old vernacular models and embraced further Persianization. This article re-examines the evidence, combining methodologies from literary and historical studies. It points to the continuities present in Hatim’s revision, including sustained engagement with Vali, even as Hatim attempted to appeal to new audiences, incorporating new trends alongside older literary models. Foregrounding literary networks and arenas of poetic practice shows the limited impact of the proscriptions and literary criticisms voiced by Hatim’s critics. In studying the contested space of literary aesthetics and linguistic shifts against self-fashioning within changing networks, this article demonstrates that the relationship between the Persianate and vernacular sphere continued to be generative, rather than oppositional or hierarchical.

Relations in Aesthetic Space: How Color Enables Market Positioning

Color is omnipresent, but organizational research features no systematic theory or established method for analyzing it. We develop a relational approach to color, conceptualizing it as a means of positioning relative to a reference group or style and validating it through a computational method for processing digital images. The research context is Norwegian black metal—a genre of extreme metal music that achieved notoriety in the early 1990s through band members’ criminal activity. Our analysis of 5,125 album covers between 1989 and 2019 confirms the alignment of aesthetic and music features and articulates the role of color in the construction of a relational identity based on forces of association and disassociation. Black metal bands associated with past color choices of non-black metal bands up to a point, after which they started to disassociate from them. The positioning is dynamic, pursuing adaptation to external events. Black metal bands reacted to their stigmatization in Norwegian society by increasing colorfulness and later returning to a darker aesthetic in defiance of the genre’s commercialization. Our analysis attests to color’s ability to organize producers’ exchange of information and attention, illustrating the interweaving of aesthetic features and relational processes in markets.

Affectivity of New Media Art Based on the Phenomenology of Aesthetic Experience

With the development of both media and technology, new media technology has cast a significant influence on art creation, creating an aesthetic paradigm different from that of traditional art. Meanwhile, owing to the different aesthetic appeals of the new era, basic components of art, such as content and form, are constantly changing. The ultimate goal of art is to express the artist’s emotions and communicate with the spectator in the same aesthetic flow. Additionally, new media art attempts to convey emotions to the appreciators and provide them a multidimensional aesthetic approach by subverting traditions and innovating in artistic expressions and aesthetic experience. This study aims to explore the aesthetic perception and perception-based emotions in new media art from the perspective of aesthetic experience. Specifically, it applies Dufrenne’s phenomenological aesthetic theory to analyze the aesthetic process. Through the analysis of affectivity in aesethics, the creator’s aprroaches of constructing the emotional aesthetic space, as well as the role of emotions in art creation, is reflected upon to inspire the future affective creation of new media art.

Мотив противостояния человека болезни COVID-19 в новейших стихотворениях Александра Городницкого, Дмитрия Быкова, Дмитрия Данилова

Alexander Gorodnitsky, Dmitry Bykov, and Dmitry Danilov are among the first modern Russian poets to problematize and transfer into an aesthetic space the previously unknown disease that has spread across the whole world – COVID-19. Analysis of selected works has made it possible to highlight the general motif of human confrontation with the disease. The figurative system of the confrontation correlates with the aesthetics of depicting war, revolution, political races, duels, or sports matches. Gorodnitsky uses stable associations connected with the image of the Great Patriotic War. Bykov compares fear of the unknown in a pandemic with fear associated with revolutionary time, and also identifies the head of state with a deadly disease. Finally, Danilov focuses his attention on the existential dimension of the struggle, as well as on the thoughts and inner experiences of a modern man.All three authors are mindful of Russian literary tradition. The sources of inspiration for them were mainly the Russian classics: Pushkin, Nekrasov, Blok. The lyric compositions analysed in the article can certainly be considered as a prelude to the further development of the topic of the Coronavirus pandemic.

An artistic analysis model based on sequence cartoon images for scratch

With the development of visual programming languages, researchers pay attention to the automatic evaluation of visual projects. Previous work focus on the code evaluation but ignored another essential part—the visualization results. Scratch is a widely used programming platform, and projects created on it are displayed in the form of cartoon clips. It is valuable to explore the visual aesthetics embodied in these clips to fill the gap in the assessment system. We propose a model that predicts the human view scores of cartoon clips created on Scratch. Our method is divided into two steps to evaluate the aesthetic of the sequence images that compose cartoon clips. First, we train an image classification network to predict the relative aesthetics of individual images. Then we construct an aesthetic space for the sequence image and improve the rating within a specific range. We put forward ScratchGAN to generate a Scratch-cartoon-style aesthetic analysis data set for training the classification network. Experimental results show that our Generative Adversarial Network framework can well transform photos into a Scratch-cartoon style. The single image assessment network can generate predictions that fit human cartoon aesthetic opinions. Our method achieves satisfactory results in the aesthetic evaluation of sequence cartoon images.

Digital workflow to produce esthetic space maintainers for growing patients

Digital workflows have been used to enhance the predictability of oral rehabilitations. However, techniques to digitally design and manufacture esthetic space maintainers by following a prosthetically driven treatment plan for young patients are lacking. This technique report describes a full digital workflow to produce computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) esthetic space maintainers by using intraoral scans, a dental CAD software program, and a milling machine. CAD-CAM space maintainers can be provided for young patients with satisfactory patient compliance and with minimal chairside adjustment.

Main approaches to malocclusions and orthognathic surgery in facial aesthetic: an integrative review

Introduction: In the scenario of orthodontic corrections, orthognathic surgery makes it possible to restore the functional and aesthetic patterns of the face, and non-surgical or minimally invasive procedures have optimized the results of ortho-surgical facial treatments. Objective: the present study aimed to perform a systematic review of the main information about orthognathic surgery in malocclusions, as well as to present the aesthetic importance. Methods: Clinical studies with qualitative and/or quantitative analysis were included, following the rules of the systematic review-PRISMA. Results and Conclusion: A total of 107 articles were found involving "malocclusions and orthognathic surgery". A total of 47 articles were evaluated in full, and 33 were included and discussed in this study. Aesthetic/functional rehabilitation is necessary until the eruption of permanent successor teeth occurs. A practical option to obtain this rehabilitation is through the installation of aesthetic or functional space maintainers. These are orthodontic devices that replace one or more deciduous teeth and are used to preserve the space destined for the permanent tooth successor, preventing it from suffering deviations during its eruption. The facial typology seeks to redefine the relationships between deleterious habits and malocclusions, through the valuation of individual morphological characteristics, which will lead to craniofacial growth and development to assume certain facial types. Therefore, due to the aging of the stomatognathic apparatus the orofacial functions can be modified, such as malocclusion, therefore for greater effectiveness and longevity of the final result of the orthodontic treatment, the indefinite use of fixed inferior containment should be established and accompanied by the professional.

Shaping the aesthetical landscape by using image statistics measures

Aesthetics and evaluation of objects is becoming increasingly important in contemporary society. Although there have been many studies on processes related to computational aesthetic, a clear formalisation and visualization of the aesthetic field is still lacking. In this paper, we present a set of Machine Learning techniques and mathematical methods to extract the most important features related to aesthetical evaluation, thus making this process automatic, without the human intervention. The techniques are then applied to a sample of 83 images of triangles, produced by artists. The results of the empirical method provide a series of measurements that allow the extrapolation of mathematical aesthetic characteristics of the images and their location in the aesthetic space.

The Politics of Aesthetic Preference in Participatory Music

Bringing together an array of interdisciplinary subjects, this article seeks to proffer a theory of political aesthetic preference emergent within participatory musical works. Beginning with an overview of imitation in music and then recapping the critical work advanced by Kofi Agawu and Jean-Jacques Nattiez on musical semiology, this article first delves into how musical signs are interpreted and propagated within participatory settings. Subsequently, using Jürgen Habermas’s influential theory on the public sphere as well as the critical revisions to said theory proposed by Nancy Fraser and Michael Warner, participatory musics are conceptualised as constituting the formal space of a public in which the aesthetic direction of a participatory music work is negotiated among participants. Based on an analysis of Luke Dahl, Jorge Herrera and Carr Wilkerson’s multi-user instrument and participatory work TweetDreams, this article discusses the ways in which participant inputs and choices impact the poietic process of the work due to the clear rules that are set up within its interactive and algorithmic protocols for sonification. It concludes by pointing towards other recent research on participatory works, where the framing of participatory musics as a political–aesthetic space leads to broader questions about audience power and how the latter is negotiated and shared, then poses questions for future research on the audience’s choice in refusal and dissensus.

Eumenides and the Invention of Politics

Abstract Recent scholarship has shown that the Eumenides of Aeschylus, far from presenting a complete and coherent picture of the well-ordered polis, in fact offers something quite different, namely, a complex set of questions, concerns and conundrums regarding the very nature of political society. But I suggest that the literature has not yet provided a fully satisfying account of the ways in which those questions are underwritten by the specifically literary practice of Aeschylus as it develops the play’s larger theoretical – especially moral – implications. I argue that the Eumenides can fruitfully be read as a sustained exercise in the subversion of expectations that unsettles its audience and thereby opens up a discursive and aesthetic space for the development of a distinctive political problematic; and further, that this problematic involves a challenging series of meditations on what today would be called political ethics, broadly conceived.

Fashion Design and Aesthetic Embodiment Based on Virtual Reality Technology

With the continuous development and improvement of virtual reality technology, the technology has been widely used to improve the overall level of fashion design, vivid aesthetics to create a good foundation. By giving full play to the advantages of virtual reality technology application, innovating fashion design scheme, optimizing fashion design concept, annotating aesthetic space, enriching aesthetic embodiment, helping fashion design to realize overall innovation. Based on the application of virtual reality technology, this paper puts forward some reasonable suggestions on fashion design and aesthetic embodiment.

The Significance of "View Box" to Intuitive Aesthetics

As an art form, "view box" is the communication channel between the viewer and the picture, and the key of the gestalt intuitive aesthetic space. Meanwhile, the duality of its relationship with the viewer is the foundation of constructing aesthetic "field". As a concept, "visual frame" has more methodological and ontological significance in the current cultural background, and its logical relationship with viewers helps people cultivate a more poetic way of life. This paper mainly discusses the deeper cultural connotation of "visual frame" from the perspective of system theory and cybernetics by taking the specific characteristics of "visual frame" in intuitive aesthetics as the breakthrough point.

Aesthetics, emotions, culture and media

The text re-examines, in principle, the status of emotions in the contemporary aesthetic environment. When it comes to our aesthetic environment - we will talk about it from two mutually pervasive points of view: the first position is, at first glance, somewhat broader and concerns the sphere of culture in the aesthetic key, while the second builds on the previous and refers to the so-called. media culture. If today it is possible to separate these two plans of thinking about aesthetic experience (originating either from the field of culture or from the media), and in the context of thinking about emotions that participate in the aesthetic experience related to culture (art), ie media, it seems that with the standardized products of today?s world of culture and media, superficial emotionality, often equal to kitsch dominates our common aesthetic space. And if it is not about the aesthetic phenomena of kitsch, in general, a rational (managerial) approach to culture and media is at work, which almost completely replaces the emotional way of creating an aesthetic experience in our age.

Impact of Authoritative Elements on Placemaking in Architecture

The understanding in the differentiation between spaces and places is vital in architecture. One deals with the physical dimensions that constitute the physical form and boundary while the other is an edifice that contributes to the narrative of the user and is people-centric. Spaces and Places are not mutually exclusive owing to the fact that any place intrinsically stems from a space. However the components that define each of these phenomena differ in intent during their creation. All spaces employ the use of metrics to generate lines, planes, volumes. Well-designed spaces combine these tangible metrics with creativity and a keen focus on aesthetics that bear positively on the physical manifestation and composition of these forms. Places go beyond creating purely aesthetic spaces and engage the user/s in a dynamic dialogue that helps the user forge an emotional and/or spiritual connect to the place. There are several elements which aid in the creation of such place. Of these, authoritative elements may be considered to lend authenticity to design. This paper tests the hypothesis that authoritative elements are key influencers of Placemaking in Architecture.

Functions of Interior in Modern Kazakh Literature

The article examines the role of the literary interior in organizing the space of a literary work – a form of description used in the text of work along with such forms as landscape and portrait. An overview of scientific works is given, which examines the artistic activity of object things that make up the literary interior space. Since this topic is a poorly studied, relevant topic in Kazakh literary, the issues of poetics and functions of the literary interior in modern Kazakh prose are analyzed. Through the analysis of the functions of literary interiors in the context of a literary text, their structural features are also revealed. It is shown that the interior plays an important role not only as a structural element of a literary text, but also plays a significant role in revealing the poetics of works of art in a new way, occupying a key role at the semantic level. The emergence and introduction of the concept of "interior" in literary works and the main functions of a literary interior are studied. The relationship between the origins of the artistic activity of literary interiors and the epideictic genre of antiquity is considered. The role of the interior in revealing the inner world of the character, in the knowledge of the nature, and temper of the character is studied, and it is analytically shown how all this is connected with the concept of psychologism in literary work. Through the chronotopic function of the literary interior, the features of the artistic expression of objects with symbolic meaning, the properties and characteristics of the aesthetic space, formed in the unity of time and space, established in the cultural knowledge of mankind, are studied. The role and essence of the world of things, artistic activity in the organization of space in the stories of modern Kazakh authors are analyzed. The connection of the world of objects with the characters of literary works, their interaction with the symbolic system, the composition of the work is considered. Analysis of the function of a literary interior allows you to theoretically study the system of objects in a literary work and identify the features of the use of material details in modern Kazakh stories.

Impact of leisure environmental supply on new urban pathology: a case study of Guangzhou and Zhuhai

Traditional studies on urban pathology primarily focused on impacts of social disorganization and urban settings, such as crime, polarization between the rich and the poor, pollution, and deteriorating living conditions, whereas there is insufficient attention paid to urban mental health and wellness. To provide fresh insights into the issue of urban mental health and wellness, this paper defines the psychiatric disorder of urban citizens as ‘new urban pathology’ which primarily results from a highly competitive, stressful, and fast-paced urban life. Based on 40 interviews from citizens in two rapidly urbanizing cities in mainland China, this paper attempts to investigate how the supply of leisure facilities affects new urban pathology. There are three general findings of this research: (1) First, new urban pathology commonly exists and varies with urban communities. However, it is not significantly influenced by the pace of city life. It is found that the worse prospect the living standards, the more significant the negative impacts of the new urban pathology. (2) Sufficient urban leisure facilities do have positive impacts on relieving psychological pressure of urban dwellers. Apart from these, residents also achieve stress relief from surrounding therapeutic landscapes like aesthetic public space, well-designed architecture, etc. (3) The perceived usefulness of leisure environment serves as a key factor to mediate the stress-mitigating effect of leisure supply. When leisure facilities’ functions highly match the needs of residents, leisure environmental supply can be utilized effectively, which helps alleviate the new urban pathology. This research advances the literature of urban health studies by tentatively revealing the interaction between the supply of leisure environmental facilities and urban mental health. It suggests that urban practitioners should optimize the quality of facilities rather than simply increasing the quantity for reducing the daily stress of urban life.

The power of daydreaming: the aesthetic act of a new beginning

ABSTRACT What can we learn from a better understanding of the process of daydreaming in an organizational context? That is the main question underpinning this study. Based on a field study with a rural entrepreneur that uses daydreaming as her main strategic tool in the development of her farm, and a reading of Bachelard’s work on the phenomenology of ‘reverie,’ we come to understand daydreaming as an embodied act that emerges at the intersection between relational materiality, vertical temporality and aesthetic space. This conceptualization of daydreaming reminds us that rather than focusing on how to make dreams come true, which is the traditional way of relating to dreams in organizational life, there is a need to enable people to dream anew, because that is when new beginnings can be born, and the particular will to act, through daydreaming, can be released.

Troubling aesthetics: mapping vulnerability as a generative force in community theatre

ABSTRACT This article explores the risks and potentials of staging vulnerability in community theatre with teenage girls. By drawing on postconstructionist and spatial theories, the article elaborates on how aesthetic spaces emerge when interwoven with spaces of vulnerability. Exploring how vulnerability becomes a generative, or restrictive force, the article debates tensions produced in the process in terms of potentia and potestas. It examines the embeddedness of the drama practice as it both challenges and merges with the local context and the participants’ everyday. The article argues that this embeddedness is a prerequisite to turn vulnerability into potentia.
