КАЗАХСКАЯ ДЕТСКАЯ ЛИТЕРАТУРА И ТВОРЧЕСТВО А. СОПЫБЕКОВА

This article examines the trends in the development of Kazakh children's literature in the 1950s and 1960s, focusing on its thematic and ideological orientation. It also delves into the creative world of poet Adyrbek Sopybekov, whose significant contributions to the field are explored. The author analyzes fantastic poems and other selected works by A. Sopybekov, considered the best examples of children's poetry, and paying close attention on their thematic, ideological features, and artistic aspects. Children's poetry during the years of national independence remains a relatively understudied topic. Examining the creative laboratory of poets who have worked significantly in this direction, and thereby studying the direction and nature of modern children's poetry, drawing conclusions about thematic and ideological features, artistic aspects, is one of the urgent tasks facing the science of national literary studies. While valuable insights into Adyrbek Sopybekov's children's works have appeared in the press, a dedicated, comprehensive analysis of his creative portrait within the framework of Kazakh literary studies is still lacking. This article aims to address this gap by offering a broader differentiation of the poet's work, thereby assessing his characteristic style, his methods of conveying artistic ideas to children, and the educational value inherent in his writing. Additionally, it seeks to evaluate A. Sopybekov's contributions to Kazakh children's literature of the 1950s and 1960s and to gain a deeper understanding of his poetic skill.

Feedback on the creation of a scientific show using immersive sound

This presentation is devoted to feedback on the creation of a scientific show produced in collaboration between two acoustic laboratories, musicians and a loudspeaker manufacturer. The aim of the show is to simply explain sound perception to a wide audience using an immersive sound system. The presentation focuses on the creative process (including scenario writing, musical compositions, choice of technical solutions for the audio rendering) and the compromises made between scientific rigor and the artistic aspect. The various phases of the work carried out over almost two years are explained in order to formalize the creative process and the need to find a specific method that is suitable for both artists and scientists.

Church Goldsmithing as a Phenomenon of Ukrainian Culture of the 17th – 18th Centuries

The activities of such Kyiv goldsmiths as Ivan Ravych, V. Moshchenko, Matvii Narunovych, Fedir Levytskyi is described in the article in the culturological aspect. The elements of Ukrainian culture, which can be observed on the jewelry of church use of the 17th – 18th centuries are distinguished in the course of the work. The authoress has defined the style in which Kyiv masters of the studied period have worked. It is worth noting that the investigation of the culturological phenomenon is not possible without the artistic aspect, since art is a part of culture, so a review of church jewelry also from an artistic point of view, however, with the selection of features of Ukrainian culture is used in the study. The vestments for the icon of the Dehtiarivska Mother of God, vestments of 1738, made by V. Moshchenko, chalice and trays for candlesticks by Matvii Narunovych are also considered in the study in detail. It is proposed to research carefully the work of Ivan Ravych, Matvii Narunovych and Fedir Levytskyi in the future. The most important features of Ukrainian culture of the 17th – 18th centuries, manifested in jewelry, are distinguished in the studies. The technical methods used by Ukrainian goldsmiths at that time are indicated. The purpose of the article consists not only in the description of Ukrainian culture in the light of precious church utensils, but also in the distinguishing its elements specifically on church jewelry in order to demonstrate that church goldsmithing is the Ukrainian cultural phenomenon. However, it is worth remembering that the topic needs further detailed research. Only a small part of the signs of Ukrainian culture is indicated in the work because of the lack of a full-fledged source base of the investigation. The authoress is leaving further disclosure of the topic to future scientists. The work will be useful for researchers, postgraduate students, as well as for those who are simply interested in the jewelry business of Ukraine. The information provided in the article can be used in future research on church jewelry and jewelry in general.

공공미술로서의 데이터 아트의 활용 가능성 연구 : 추상성과 복잡성을 중심으로

This study explores data art as a form of public art, focusing on visual abstraction and complexity. In recent years, new media works such as installation art and media art have transformed public spaces and architecture, turning urban areas into places that offer new experiences and inspiration beyond mere transit or commercial uses. However, the utilization of data art as public art remains limited. Data art visually represents vast amounts of data, providing unique insights and conveying new meanings through various forms. For instance, data art that integrates real-time climate data can offer both important messages and aesthetic experiences. The analysis of the technical and artistic aspects of data art installed in public spaces reveal the following: Data art’s abstraction and complexity provide citizens with immersive and novel experiences, enabling mental rejuvenation. Data art, expressed in geometric abstraction or abstract expressionist styles, captivates viewers and offers a balanced complexity designed by the artist, delivering surprise and newness. Utilizing diverse raw data and visualized in real-time, data art is created as installation pieces using digital screens or LEDs. These artworks are installed in various public places such as building lobbies, bus stops, and parks, allowing more people to experience art in their daily lives. Therefore, as public art, data art, with its abstraction and complexity, can engage citizens emotionally and promote open-minded thinking.

Sustainable creative careers through mentoring: Understanding social resilience in the art field

In recent years, there has been a rise in career development programs for artists, including various types of mentoring programs. However, research on mentoring is scarce within the field of cultural policy. In this paper, we analyse mentoring as a tool for developing creative careers by investigating three different programs implemented in the Norwegian art field. The analysis is based on qualitative interviews with mentors, protégés, and administrators in the three programs, and survey data, applications, and reports from one of the programs. Building on studies that address the social and collective aspects of artists’ and other creatives’ work and using social capital and social resilience as theoretical lenses for our analysis, we argue that despite potential downsides and pitfalls, mentoring can offer a holistic approach to learning, and its activation of collective resources can contribute to resilience and sustainability in creative careers.

Taking Advantage of the Aesthetic Values of Asiri Art Decorations to Enrich and Sustain the Printing of Modern Women’s Clothing Supplements to Preserve Saudi Heritage Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques

Sustainability is the result of modern-day design philosophy as a result of major industrial developments and many conflicts and wars. This concept is what prompted this research to focus on the possibility of achieving the principles of sustainability practically - in field reality - through the use of artificial intelligence techniques to create contemporary designs derived from the Saudi Asiri heritage and employ them in printing sustainable clothing supplements. Heritage-inspired design has cultural meaning and importance, and its purpose is to transmit our heritage to our emerging generations, and therefore it is considered a type of sustainable thought. The Asir region in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has a rich heritage that is greatly influenced by the charming nature of the place. The Asir region is distinguished by the art of the “Asiri Cat,” which consists of engravings, lines, and aesthetic formations engraved by women specialized in this field. They inherited this art from the women who preceded them. Asiri art is distinguished from other arts. The use of bright natural colors such as blue, green, orange, black and white, as the Asir region is considered one of the important heritage and tourist areas within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has played a pivotal role in enriching the cultural and creative stock not only of the Saudi citizen, but also of the Arabian Gulf region. This is what prompted us in the current research to delve into the analysis of the creative and artistic aspects of Asiri art inscriptions and to benefit from the aesthetic values of Asiri art decorations in contemporary artistic designs that achieve sustainability for the purpose of exploiting them in the manufacture of plastic fittings for clothing supplements to serve small industries. Many diverse designs have been implemented using different printing techniques. From (direct drawing method - stencil printing - pictorial screen printing) the use of different types and colors to implement different products to produce clothing accessories that are closely related to the structure of form and content of Al-Qat Al-Asiri art, and depends on its aesthetic philosophy about the heritage and cultural references associated with the place and the artist’s own vision. To revive Saudi heritage. The research aims to take advantage of the geometric and floral decorative elements in Al-Qat Al-Asiri’s artistic engravings as a source for enriching and sustaining printed designs for women’s clothing supplements that are characterized by authenticity and contemporaryness, and preserving popular motifs by reformulating them. In keeping with the times, and preserving its most prominent features, in a way that enhances belonging and preserves the community’s heritage and values. From extinction, endless horizons of creativity and innovation have been achieved in the field of printing clothing supplements, and sustainable plastic repetition, which the designer or art practitioner resorts to in general, and the field of printing in particular, as a creative pluralistic plastic method.The research followed the descriptive and analytical approach in identifying the origins and characteristics of the Asir artistic inscriptions (the cat), analyzing their vocabulary, reformulating them, and drawing inspiration from them to enrich the printed designs of women’s clothing supplements, in addition to the experimental approach in the applied study through the use of different techniques and materials. The results of the study concluded that there are various aesthetic values in the Asiri cat engraving that can be used to create contemporary designs on clothing accessories using different printing techniques, in order to preserve the Asiri heritage in the southern region of the country. The study recommended the need to pay attention to studying heritage and the arts it contains because of its great importance, as it stimulates appreciation of traditional art and preserves it.

A Trilogy of Food, Photography And Social Media: Gastroporn

Eating is a biologically fundamental human activity. However, the real importance of eating stems not from its biological necessity but from its symbolic character. Food and eating also have psychological, social, and political significance. Food is a means by which love and desire are expressed and communicated. In addition, food serves purposes beyond filling the stomach, such as self-construction, identity formation, social status, gaining prestige, showing others who you are, and differentiating from others. In this context, the concept of gastroporn is considered a form of food that has moved away from its true meaning and undergone a shift in meaning and is expressed as aesthetic images of unattainable pleasure that replace real food. The presentation and visualization of the food, the preparation of the food, and the kitchen materials used often become more important than the food itself. Changing the existing image of the food and serving it with presentations that can emphasize the feelings and emotions of the consumer is the main reason underlying gastroporn. Although the pairing of food with pornography in the classical sense may sound repulsive and irreconcilable at first, the fact that the artistic aspect rather than the food itself comes to the fore in the dishes made with artistic mastery by the chefs in the kitchen, the "irresistible" erotic connotations of some ingredients and the professional photography of all these reveal the similarities between food and pornography. The sexual connotations of foods such as a burst yolk, a runny chocolate bar, and the elongation of hot cheese, bananas, ice cream, etc., reinforce the connection between food and pornography. The main thing emphasized in this article is that the concept of gastroporn is a new form of transforming food and that social media and food photography contribute positively to this new form.

Fiddlers and Their Music in Romanian Principalities, from the Beginnings until the Nineteenth century: Artistic Aspects

Fiddlers and Their Music in Romanian Principalities, from the Beginnings until the Nineteenth century: Artistic Aspects

ETHICAL VALUES IN THE LAMIYYAT AL-ARAB

Lamiyyat al-Arab by Al- Shanfara is an honest mirror of pre-Islamic life, reflecting its good and bad, and a pinnacle of artistic maturity. This study is a model for revealing psychological value-based phenomena in the lives of pre-Islamic people in general and Saʿālīk in particular. This paper aims to extract the most important moral values in the Lamiyyat Al-Arab, analyzing the verses of the Al-Lamiyyat related to values, while comparing them with others. The paper used the inductive, analytical, and deductive approach. The results show that Lamiyyat al-Arab expresses the values of courage, pride, kindness, generosity, and others. The life of nomadism and the dryness of nature contributed to the uniqueness of Al-Shanfara’s poetry. Al-Lamiyyat expressed a class of society, namely the Saʿālīk, through the values and morals prevailing among them. The poet expressed these values through many expressions. The poet used Bahr Al-Taweel through which he expressed the values of courage, pride, and kindness. The moral values mentioned in the Lamiya are approved by Islam and common sense. The researcher recommends more specialized studies on Lamiyyat al-Arab and other Arabic literature studies such as the artistic aspect, rhetorical, eloquence, semiotic, musical, aesthetic, and other studies.

MAPPILAPPAATTU AND OPPANA: AN ANTHROPOLOGICAL NOTE ON MAPPILA SONGS AND PERFORMING ART

The Muslim population of Kerala state is known as the Mappilas. The community is formed due to commerce between the Arabians and the Malabarians. Indigenous culture had a significant effect on Mappila's arts and ceremonies. The Mappilas created a distinctive cultural pattern that encompassed a variety of artistic aspects, including their traditional song, Mappilappaattus, and one of the most exquisite performing arts, Oppana. Most scholarly research on Mappilas is historical and ignores anthropological elements like arts and rituals. Thus, this essay aims to offer an anthropological perspective on Mappila songs, known as Mappilappaattu and the performing art of Mappila women, known as Oppana. While examining the nature of Mappilappaattus and its many genres, this research highlights that the secularised Mappilappaattus, which was primarily romantic in substance, drew people from beyond the Mappila community. Oppana also had a secular and romantic tone, which appealed to the public. The popularity of Mappilappaattus and Oppana can be explained, for example, by looking at the history of Malayalam films. Mappilappaattu and Oppana were staples of Malayalam film from the beginning of the 1950s.

The Multifaceted Impact of Music on Learning in Traditional and Music Schools

This paper attempts to delve more into the complex role that music education plays in both traditional and music schools. Beyond teaching skills, music education frames children’s personality and helps them fit in future working environments. Nurturing environments, modelled after music schools, emphasize comprehensive development, integrating cognitive, psychomotor, socioemotional, and artistic aspects. Beyond conventional lines, a holistic approach to education fosters creativity, emotional intelligence, and cross-cultural understanding. Music emphasizes the importance of self-expression and encourages individuals to explore their own unique voice. It also promotes collaboration and teamwork, as musicians often work together to create harmonious melodies. Additionally, music education has been shown to improve cognitive abilities such as problem-solving and critical thinking skills, which can be applied to various areas of life beyond the realm of music. Music schools emphasize immediacy and subjectivity, whereas traditional schools emphasize different feedback mechanisms. Aligning these components have the potential of enhancing learning opportunities and encourage a more comprehensive approach to learning and evaluation in the traditional school setting. Keywords: music education, traditional schools, music schools, learning mechanisms.

Jéghideg vizek játéka. Esettanulmány Nichita Stănescu két versének Szilágyi Domoks-féle fordításáról

This case study examines the Hungarian translation of two poems by Nichita Stănescu done by Domokos Szilágyi. The first part of the paper briefly outlines the life and poetic art of Nichita Stănescu, emphasizing the significant role he played in 20th-century Romanian poetry. Stănescu’s contribution brought originality and linguistic innovation to Romanian poetry, aspects that are highly complex and therefore challenging to convey in other languages. Domokos Szilágyi, himself a recognized poet and translator, translated several poems by Stănescu in the anthology titled Víziorgona (Water Organ). These translations were acclaimed by both contemporaries and later generations. The second part of the study provides a deeper and more detailed analysis of Szilágyi’s Hungarian translations of the two highlighted poems (Orga de apă, N-ai să vii – Water Organ, You Won’t Come). It not only focuses on the technical aspects of linguistic translation but delves into the musical and poetic characteristization of the poetic texts. Within this process, discussions revolve around playful use of language, grammatical subtleties, the transferability of rhymes and rhythm, while considering the equivalence criteria applied in literary translation. Beyond the technical approach, the analysis highlights the creative and artistic aspects of the translation work. The study explores to what extent translation can be viewed as a creative act and a creative activity in itself and examines how it intertwines with the atmosphere of the original work and opens up new dimensions in the target language. Keywords: literary translation, poetry translation, Romanian poetry, equivalence, language play, rhyme, rhythm, musicality, Domokos Szilágyi, Nichita Stănescu, Water Organ.

Demand for and training of Chinese translators in the context of the �One Belt, One Road� initiative

Relevance. The need to investigate the specifics of Chinese translator training within the framework of the global programme �One Belt, One Road� is primarily conditioned by the constant changes in various aspects, particularly in structural, semantic, and artistic aspects. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to investigate the global initiative �One Belt, One Road� in the context of training professional human resources to perform Chinese language translations. Methodology. This study analysed materials available on the websites of several higher education institutions. The analysis focused on specific parameters such as the distinct features of training students in Chinese studies, the education of translators working with Chinese, and the principles, methods, and techniques used in teaching the Chinese language. Results. Analyses of translator training have identified key skills for students: parallel language and culture study, adherence to translation norms like business etiquette, and mastery of technical translation tools. In Kyrgyz universities, methods include verbal (lectures, discussions), visual (audio and video materials), and practical (creative works, exhibitions, quizzes, conferences). For Chinese translators under the �One Belt, One Road� initiative, training spans multiple linguistic levels: phonetic (phrases, accents), grammatical (categories, meanings), lexical (vocabulary related to the initiative and various fields), syntactic (word order, links), and stylistic (business etiquette, unique vocabulary). Conclusions. The study found that the �One Belt, One Road� initiative's language policy focuses on planning Chinese language status, foreign languages, language structure, educational language use, and language services. The key challenges are the shortage of skilled professionals, intergovernmental cooperation, infrastructure standards, financial integration, and cultural exchange. In the future, this study can be used to develop technical improvements in Kyrgyz-Chinese translation, to improve the training of Chinese specialists within the framework of the global initiative �One Belt, One Road�. Keywords: lingua franca; linguistic levels; linguistic policy; linguistic parameters; terminological units

Design of exhibition halls in historical buildings of the 20th century

The article raises the issue of adapting the space of historic buildings for exhibition installations, as the exhibition is one of the modern effective ways to demonstrate the cultural and historical heritage of society. Historical monuments are a valuable architectural heritage, so when designing an exhibition space in them, it is necessary to take into account all aspects that will ensure the preservation of the building’s authenticity. The purpose of the article is to study and analyse the methods of designing exhibition halls in 20th-century buildings. The following methods are used: the historical method, the method of comparative analysis, and the systematic method. The study found that exhibition design is one of the most influential management tools in the process of gaining new experiences in galleries, museums, and art centers. Exhibits have a significant impact on the development of socio-political, historical, cultural, educational, and other sectors. The creation of a museum exhibition should be based on a preliminary design. The designer should take into account all technical, scientific, and artistic aspects of the task and offer a successful solution for the presentation of exhibits. Depending on the thematic focus of the exhibition, other specialists should be involved in each stage of design: curators, art historians, and management. The features of creating an exhibition design in historical buildings of the 20th century were considered. The artistic movements that emerged in the 20th century are analysed and characterised, and their influence on exhibition design is revealed. The main stages of the development of exhibition design, the emergence of multimedia technologies and their impact on the audience’s perception of exhibits are identified. The features of designing in historical buildings are described, aspects of harmonious combination of design with the environment of the existing building are considered. Examples of creating museums in historical monuments are found. The types of exhibition spaces and classification of exhibitions are analysed. The fundamental means of building a spatial composition are described. The practical value of the study is that the information can be used to write future research papers on the topic of exhibition design. The information obtained can be used to create design projects for exhibition halls

Author and narrator in fanfiction community texts (a study of fanfics based on literary classics)

Recent research on Russian-language fanfiction has focused on analyzing the fanfic text itself, exploring its structural, stylistic, and artistic aspects. While the role of the author in the fanfiction community has always been crucial, the current research emphasizes a more comprehensive investigation of the sociological dimension of authorship rather than its literary aspects. The unique communication style prevalent in the fanfiction community challenges the traditional model of author-reader relations, leading to a shift in the dynamics of interaction between ficwriters and ficreaders. This change creates a noticeable gap in the academic understanding of the different forms of authorship in fanfiction. To maintain a meaningful author–reader–original text dialogue, ficwriters introduce a specific narrator persona. Our study, which examines narrators in fanfics based on Russian classical literature through comparative analysis with metatextual information and insights from in-depth interviews, concludes that the narrator possesses both obligatory and optional features. These features enable the narrator to act as an intratextual mediator in the ongoing dialogue between the author and the reader. The narrator seamlessly integrates into the fictional world as a character while conveying the author’s perspective outside the text. This role significantly differs from the conventional concept of a “raisonneur.” The analysis of the narrative structure reveals that the narrator in fanfiction serves as an artistic projection of the fanfic author, blurring the lines between biographical and artistic authorship for both readers and the author. The narrator actively contributes to the storytelling process, providing synchronous commentary on their own work and exercising control over the characters. This aligns with the authorial intention in fanfiction, where the author initiates a dialogue between readers and the classic source text, both “from inside” and “outside” the text through creative interpretation.

“I know now that it's something that you can do something about”: Deductive thematic analysis of experiences at an arts-based dementia risk reduction exhibit

Dementia is one of the leading global health crises. Despite the devastating impacts of the illness, general population knowledge pertaining to risk reduction is still limited. Previous research on the impact of dementia risk reduction campaigns has largely focused on awareness rather than behaviour change. Our research introduced an arts-based exhibit to address dementia modifiability, aiming to enhance effectiveness by providing an immersive experience for altering adults’ perceptions of risk reduction and lifestyle behaviours. Interviews were conducted with adults (n = 38 [13 male, 25 female]) who attended an interactive dementia awareness and risk reduction exhibit. Data was analysed using deductive thematic analysis within the Health Belief Model framework to determine key mechanisms of behaviour change. Four key themes encompassing exhibit significance and factors underlying behaviour change were identified. Participants recounted positive experiences, particularly being engaged by the artistic aspects of the exhibit, and recorded heightened engagement in behaviours supporting dementia risk reduction post-exhibit. Areas for improvement included the need for a take-home summary and variation in formats. Participants described prior encounters with dementia and their age as factors which influenced their engagement with dementia risk reduction behaviour, with younger participants reporting lesser engagement with risk reduction information. Our research found that arts-based educational initiatives have the potential to advance public understanding and promote behavioural changes for dementia risk reduction. Our study recommends enhancing the impact of future interventions by employing innovative formats and tailoring them to varied audiences, with a specific emphasis on engaging younger individuals.

Promoting, Regulating, and Guiding the Subjectivity of the Inheritance of Nvshu Culture - Fieldwork on the Inheritors and the Way of Inheritance

Nvshu has been passed down in Shang Jiang Xu, Jiangyong County, Hunan Province, and some neighboring areas, and it has been developed and spread only among women in the area. Nvshu is the only gender text in the world, uniquely female. The paper will use the methods of fieldwork, character interviews, and literature research to represent the subjectivity of the inheritance of Nvshu with various inheritors. All inheritors establish their subjectivity system of Nvshu culture to legacy. Then, the current inherence method of Nvshu is connected with the artistic aspects, so many people ignore the culture itself. As time passes, Nvshu culture is also undergoing transformational development. The Nvshu, as a tool of linguistic communication between women, has lost its original value and gradually developed into other directions, finally leaving the stage of history. In addition, this paper will analyze the current status of the inheritance of Nvshu through the historical and cultural background of Nvshu and the situation of the inheritors as a starting point. Furthermore, the paper represented some paradox of the information of Nvshu and then showed the impact of the inherence. To sum up, the paper mainly focuses on the different stories of each inheritor to reflect their different cultural subjectivities and ways of inheritance, thus contributing to the inheritance of Nvshu and prompting the culture to continue revitalizing and make more people know about the culture of Nvshu, to protect the endangered traditional culture of the ethnic group.

Digital art work and AI: a new paradigm for work in the contemporary art sector in China

This paper explores a paradigm shift in work culture in the contemporary art sector due to digital transition and the introduction of AI. New ways of working with AI and digital software are embedded and normalized in everyday Chinese artistic practices. This work includes new forms of creativity and efficiency, yet, simultaneously includes new types of digital labour. This paper conceptualizes this as “digital art work,” which draws attention to the often-overlooked aspects of artists’ work, particularly their everyday artistic practices that increasingly include digital software and AI. What is the role and position of the artist in an environment where digital software and AI are becoming more central in artistic creation? How do artists creatively (mis)use AI? What does this paradigm shift in work culture mean for the future of the artist’s role and the future of the contemporary art sector? This paper draws on 48 semi-structured interviews with visual artists and arts professionals, including painters, sculptors, mixed-media, and internet artists as well as contemporary art gallery owners, museum project directors, curators, and culture policymakers living and working in China during 2023. The findings show how Chinese artists are mastering AI and opening up new spaces for creativity and how the contemporary art sector in China has already transitioned to a new “digital way” in artistic creation. These findings can help to create policy around AI globally and provide solutions for the sustainability of the artist profession and the future of the contemporary art sector.
