Artistic interpretation of ahmad yassaviy image

The article examines the interpretation of the image of the great thinker, sheikh, poet Ahmad Yassaviy, a great representative of mystical literature, in fiction. The spiritual world of Yassaviy as a saint and poet is comparatively analyzed on the example of Uzbek and Turkish novels. The qualities inherent in the nature of the creator are studied in the example of the image of the historical figure Yassaviy. In Turkish literature, various creative methods, analytical views on the skills of image creation, style and speech problems based on a comparative analysis of the created Yassaviy image are expressed. In particular, the role of the inner monologue in monologue-memory, monologue-reflection types, the hallucination method of artistic image and the illumination of the creative spirit of dialogues is proved on the basis of examples. Recognizing the role of psychological, sociological methods in the study of the image of the creator, suggestions and conclusions on the principles of the biographical approach are given.

Burial Crypts and Vaults in Britain and Ireland: a Biographical Approach

The range of post-medieval burial structures found in Britain and Ireland defined by Julian Litten in 1985 are reviewed in the light of more recent discoveries. The degree of variability within each of these – lined burial shafts, small family vaults, large family vaults, and communal crypts – can now be evaluated. Using the biography of objects approach for the first time on mortuary data, the changing agency of coffins over their use-lives is considered, with varying degree of visibility during the stages between construction and final deposition. The biography of vaults is indicated through a selection of burial structures, revealing patterns of use over time. Issues of space management, in some cases with considerable overcrowding and movement of coffins, is seen to be problem only with communal crypts. Shafts and vaults were predominantly for few generations, apart from some elite family where the same space could be used over several centuries.

Initial teaching training by homology in PIBID: experiential learning from professional practice

In this article we discuss homology learning that teachers in initial training, participating in the Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation Scholarships - PIBID, achieve in the relationship they establish with teachers of the basic school. The central objective aimed to understand homological learning in the process of teacher education for undergraduate students in Pedagogy, considering the insertion in the school routine, in which educational experiences are learned and apprehended through the process of relating to the other. As a theoretical framework for carrying out the work, we anchor the analytical perspective from the contributions of Silva (2016), Silva (2017), Nóvoa (2002), Tardif (2003), among others. The study is affiliated with the (auto) biographical approach, in which narratives are central elements for understanding what is lived and learned. We use narrative interviews with information collection devices. The results indicate that the licensee who experiences educational practices in school daily life, while participating in PIBID, has the possibility of generating teaching learning, revealing knowledge about his personal / professional development. It is also evident the production of knowledge that emerges from the experience, from the very insertion of the student in the school routine, in which the relationship that the teacher in initial training establishes with teachers in service generates conditions of learning through homology.

Балетна трупа Львівського оперного театру кінця 30-х – початку 40-х років ХХ століття

The purpose of the article is to reveal the peculiarities of the formation and the personal composition of the Lviv Opera Theatre ballet company in the late 30s – early 40s of the 20th century. Methodology. Analytical, historical-chronological, biographical approaches were used to reveal the topic, which made it possible to conduct scientific and objective research. Scientific novelty. For the first time, a special study regarding the creative work of the ballet company of the Lviv Opera and Ballet Theatre in the late 30s – early 40s of the 20th century was carried out; the names of some performers were introduced into ballet studies. Conclusions. The rise of professional performing and ballet mastery on the stage of the Lviv Opera was facilitated by the organization of a stationary ballet company in the 1939/1940 season. Its core was formed by graduates of the Kyiv State Choreographic School in 1940 and experienced soloists and corps de ballet artists from the leading (Kyiv, Moscow, Leningrad State Academic Theatres) and peripheral theatres of the USSR; local dancers who received a choreographic education in dance studios in Lviv and refugees from German-occupied Poland also joined the work. The first multi-act ballets were Don Quixote (convicted of lack of ideology, obsolescence) and Red Poppy (positioned in the USSR as an example of a modern heroic ballet). With the outbreak of World War II, a significant part of the ballet company went to evacuation, some remained to work in the theatre, where full-fledged ballets were staged (among them Rural Love, Coppelia, Veil for Pieretta, etc.). After the liberation of Lviv from the German occupation, a part of the creative staff of the ballet company emigrated (V. Pereiaslavets, R. Pryima, etc.), some ended up in Stalin’s camps.

Estrategias metodológicas para acceder a la diversidad biocultural en huertos del periurbano platense (Buenos Aires, Argentina)

El estudio de los huertos es un tema relevante en etnobotánica, tanto por ser expresión de un conocimiento botánico local, como por la significativa diversidad biocultural que preservan. Esta es resultado de la experiencia vital de las y los horticultores y a menudo permanece oculta al emplear estrategias metodológicas cualitativas habituales en la disciplina. En esta contribución se utiliza por primera vez la aproximación biográfica en el cinturón hortícola platense (Buenos Aires, Argentina), espacio pluricultural y diverso en sus modos productivos, a fin de evaluar su potencial para conocer la diversidad biocultural de la zona. Al comparar los resultados con los obtenidos por técnicas sincrónicas de observación y entrevista, se identificó un número similar de taxones, con una ampliación del número total de plantas reconocidas y utilizadas en el área. Se observó que la experiencia previa adquirida en otras regiones habilitó el uso de ciertas plantas, no habitual en el área. Se discuten las ventajas y desventajas de la aproximación biográfica y el aporte de este tipo de estudios en proyectos de desarrollo local. Se concluye que la integración de metodologías sincrónicas con los estudios biográficos resulta en un abordaje integral y complejo de la diversidad biocultural que no podría alcanzarse por una única vía metodológica.

More than ‘bare walls’: the educational philosophy of Margery Fry (1874–1958) and its impact on university residential facilities for women in the twentieth century

ABSTRACT This article concerns the educational philosophy of S. Margery Fry (1874–1958) and its impact upon the design, organisation and functions of university residences for women in the twentieth century. According to Carol Dyhouse, Fry, the only woman on the University Grants Committee from 1919 to 1947, ‘exerted considerable influence over the shape of provision for women across the country’. Taking a biographical approach based on Fry’s personal papers and institutional archives, this article explores her ideas and locates the origins of them in her early experiences, both as a student and subsequently as the first warden of University House, Birmingham.

ЧОЛОВІЧЕ БАЛЕТНЕ ВИКОНАВСТВО В УКРАЇНІ 30–40-х РОКІВ ХХ ст.

The purpose of the article is to identify the special features of Ukrainian male ballet performance in the 1930s – 1940sbased on the analysis of the works by O. Sehal, B. Stepanenko, and O. Stalinskyi. The research methodology is based on theapplication of the historical and biographical approaches to comprehend the work of ballet dancers in chronological order, thecultural approach and art studies analysis to identify the artistic characteristics of male performance and consider its formationin the context of general trends in the development of ballet theatre. Scientific novelty. The features of male ballet performanceof the 1930s – 1940s through the prism of general trends in the development of ballet dance and creative biographies ofthe leading artists were revealed for the first time. Conclusions. The article has demonstrated that Ukrainian male balletperformance as an independent phenomenon began its formation in the 1930s – 1940s, in the context of the reconstructionof ballets of classical heritage (Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Raymonda, Giselle, etc.), the formation and development ofa choreodrama (Red Poppy, The Fountain of Bakhchisaray, Laurencia, etc.), including Ukrainian national ballets (Lileia, ForestSong, etc.). It has been stated that the leading ballet dancers of this period (O. Sehal, B. Stepanenko, O. Stalinskyi, etc.) wereprofessionally trained. The article has revealed the main features of male performance – pronounced acting skills, a high levelof pantomime proficiency as the main expressive means of a drama ballet, a limited number of dance steps in male parts. Thepositive dynamics of the growth of male dance performance was interrupted by the Second World War, during which balletdancers performed at the fronts and in evacuation. In the post-war period, the repertoire of ballet theatres was restored andenriched, but the dominance of director’s principles over choreographic ones led to the crisis of the emasculation of the dancecomponent from the male parts.

Older Iranian Muslim women's experiences of sex and sexuality: A biographical approach.

Muslim women in Iran live in a patriarchal society which significantly restricts their freedom and agency. While there is a growing understanding of social change as it relates to younger Muslim women in Iran, the perspectives and experiences of older women are marginalized; mirroring problems with the intersections of age, gender, and sexuality in the West. In order to address this occlusion, this article draws on life history interviews with 30 older Muslim women living in Tehran and Karaj. Adopting a biographical life course approach, and examining pivotal moments related to sexuality in their lives, we discuss how cultural meanings and symbols of sexuality have emerged and been negotiated by these women at the life stages of puberty, first sex at marriage, and menopause. The patriarchal and religious gender order of Iran transgresses these women's human rights so that sexuality is experienced as a source of shame, stigma, and pollution, yet the women also exert forms of agency in their lives as they adopt and challenge these norms.

Восприятие Л. Н. Толстого в публицистике дальневосточной эмиграции

The purpose of the study is to identify peculiarities of consideration of L. N. Tolstoy’s creative work and personality in the Russian emigration’s opinion journalism in Harbin (China). Scientific novelty of the paper lies in studying rare archival materials (the newspapers “Zarya”, “Russkoe Slovo”) to determine the unique nature of perception of L. N. Tolstoy’s personality and creative work in the Far Eastern emigration community. As a result of the study, it was found that Tolstoy’s personality is of considerable interest in emigrant criticism; his creative works are interpreted on the basis of the biographical approach; perception of the writer’s personality is based on memoirs, recollections and eyewitnesses’ observations and is almost completely devoid of apologetics; Tolstoy’s religious and philosophical views are perceived critically.

Why Arts Matter to People and Families Living With Dementia: Interprofessional Health Humanities Collaboration

This presentation will share examples of arts-based and creative interventions serving people and their families living with dementia representing evidence-based and promising practices in the United States. Such interventions offer effective non-pharmacological approaches to dementia care including use of the visual arts (e.g., drawings, paintings, sculpture) and performing arts (e.g., music, theatre); literature and writing including reminiscence, biographical approaches, and life story work; photography and Photovoice; and dance and movement as intervention modalities. Current evidence will be presented that demonstrates the effectiveness of arts-based interventions as a form of psycho-social and self-care to alleviate the effects of dementia and enhance the quality of life. Recommendations for future research will be discussed. Strategies will be proposed to develop interprofessional health humanities networks between universities, healthcare systems, libraries, museums, and the arts community to collaborate on the creation of arts-based programs in communities currently without the benefit of such programs.

Ministerial Advisers in Slovakia: Profiles and Career Paths, 2010 – 2020

Abstract This study examines the transparency of the regulatory framework under which ministerial advisors exist within the politicized context of a Central and Eastern European perspective. We compare profiles and career paths of ministerial advisers under five different types of coalition governments and examine if variance across government types can be explained by type of party – established vs. new parties. Empirically, the article draws on a cohort of 162 ministerial advisers in Slovakia across five governments from 2010 to 2020. We arrive at multiple findings. Firstly, we suggest the limitation in the availability and reporting of data is an important finding as it highlights accountability gaps and lack of government transparency irrespective of the party in power. Secondly, within the low regulatory environment, ministers appoint multiple types of staff including both formal “visible” ministerial advisers and “invisible” ministerial agents that, if one could accurately measure, would likely demonstrate that the ministerial advisory system is more inflated than we currently present. The ad-hoc nature of the advisory system also creates fluctuations in the size of the ministerial adviser cohort across governments and across different ministries. This would also help to explain the next finding, which is that, contrary to the experience in many countries, the overall size of the advisor population does not grow, probably because executive politicians have other avenues of appointing advisory agents. Fourthly, the advisers have a fairly equal distribution of prior employment from both the public sector and the private sector, but we do see some evidence of more established political parties preferring to recruit from the public sector and newer parties preferring to recruit from the private sector. Lastly, the appointment process appears to be highly controlled by individual ministers, suggesting personal ties are essential (link between ministerial and advisor education) and party-political criteria are a low consideration. The research is conducted using a biographical approach in which freedom of information requests and open source data is scrapped and then triangulated via a dozen interviews with current and former advisers. It argues that regulation is weak, lacking public scrutiny, which provides loopholes for employing ministerial agents in informal ways that could create, at worst, the opportunity for corrupt behavior, or at least, lead to poor practices in good governance. Therefore, future research should focus on both the formal “visible” and informal “invisible” ways that ministers recruit their advisory agents, how their agents function, and whether existing regulatory measures create a transparent and accountable governance framework.

Autoidentificaciones étnicas de jóvenes de segunda generación de origen mexicano en California

El objetivo de este artículo es explorar las autoidentificaciones étnicas de los jóvenes de segunda generación de origen mexicano. Para ello se toman tres elementos del contexto sociopolítico estadounidense que se encuentra en relación con sus autoidentificaciones, estas son: el propio modelo identitario estadounidense, el imaginario social sobre el mexicano y las categorías censales sobre la etnicidad hispana/latina y la raza. El enfoque biográfico, concretamente la perspectiva etnosociológica de Daniel Bertaux a través de los relatos de vida, ha sido la técnica empleada. La investigación se llevó a cabo durante 2016, en el sur de California donde se entrevistó a 51 jóvenes. Los relatos constatan que algunas de las categorías institucionales llevan a que sean parte de las autoidentificaciones de los informantes, o estos se adjudican muchas de las características fenotípicas y/o raciales que se les atribuyen a dichas categorías. Como limitación se encuentra la imposibilidad de incluir otros relatos.

AS ESCRITAS DE SI E OS EFEITOS MOBILIZADORES DA FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE EM NARRATIVAS (AUTO)BIOGRÁFICAS

This text is configured as a theoretical-bibliographic research, emphasizing thenarrative (auto) biographical approach to think about the processes of teacher training based on the writings of themselves as contributing to the construction of knowledge, knowledge and transformations that this can provide. We propose to question as a research problem: What are the contributions of the writings of oneself in the teacher education processes woven into (auto) biographical narratives? In view of the above, we weave as objectives of this article: to understand the historical-epistemologicalaspects of the field of (auto) biographical narratives in Brazil; understand the movement of professional teaching training mediated by the narrative writings of themselves, as well as reflect on the contributions of the (self) biographical narratives written in the process of teacher training and professional development. The theoretical-epistemological foundation of this text is based on the principles of the narrative (auto) biographical approach to which we are researchers in this area. The results of the study reveal that the challenge posed in the process of teacher training in the context of a narrative pedagogy, is the adoption of methodological devices in pedagogical practice by teacher trainers, with the use of narrative writings of themselves, which can be undertaken by the trainer himself, in dialogue with students in training, so that they create a culture of writing, and can contribute to their formative process by building knowledge and knowledge necessary for the profession that will accompany them, including, in the professional development of teachers when they are working in the area.

Life Stories on the Social Image of Disability. An Educational Outlook

This paper forms part of the results of the ongoing doctoral thesis with the title Resilience and intellectual disability in residential environments using life stories. From a narrative and inclusive biographical approach, we delve deeper into the life history of four people who have been diagnosed with intellectual disability and who live in a residential environment in the city of Malaga (Spain). The field work was carried out using semi-structured and in-depth biographical interviews. The analysis reveals one of the conceptions that is a priority in this paper: the “social image” of disability, structured in three main areas for the purposes of this article: “the image of disability from social culture and identity”, “the image of disability from close contexts” and, lastly, “subversive experiences to the image of disability from inside”. In conclusion, there is a commitment to continue generating another social image of disability based on a more social and inclusive paradigm.

An anti-communist Consensus: The Black Book of communism in Pan-European Perspective

Le Livre noir du communisme (1997) a fait office de preuve irréfutable dans de nombreux pays que le communisme était une idéologie criminelle aussi « néfaste » que le nazisme. Afin de comprendre l’impact remarquable de cet ouvrage à travers l’Europe, nous replaçons sa production et sa circulation dans l’histoire transnationale de l’anticommunisme en nous focalisant sur la période souvent négligée entre la chute du bloc soviétique et l’élargissement de l’Union européenne. Une approche biographique centrée sur les acteurs engagés dans la production et la diffusion du livre dans cinq pays (France, Pologne, Roumanie, Hongrie et République tchèque) démontre que le Livre noir a constitué une étape charnière dans la formation d’un mouvement anticommuniste restructuré par-delà l’ancien clivage Est-Ouest.
