ОПЫТ ВОЗРОЖДЕНИЯ ДЕТСКОГО И ЮНОШЕСКОГО КИНО НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ ДЕЯТЕЛЬНОСТИ ДЕТСКИХ КИНОФЕСТИВАЛЕЙ И КИНОСТУДИЙ г. ТОМСКА

Regional film festivals are part of the film process and play a special role in the formation and preservation of national and cultural identity. The author of the article refers to the regional children's cinema festival. This topic is relevant because children's filmmaking is given very little attention in the space of contemporary culture (These are films made by the children themselves). We characterize this cinema as the artistic practice of “small cinema with great meaning”. The purpose of research – to identify the specific features of the cinema, as a product of children's creativity. In the course of the work, the following tasks were solved. Firstly, the features of the organization of children's film festivals and educational film studios (in Tomsk region) were studied. Secondly, an analysis of the artistic and imaginative specificity of children's cinema is given. The study was conducted on the material Children's Film Festival "Bronze Knight", the children's film studio "On a cloud" (Tomsk). Our research has shown that the experience of the regions demonstrates the success of the institutionalization of the practices of children's film-making in the format of film festivals, as well as in the form of organizing film schools. At the same time, an important organizational feature is the set guidelines for children's creativity. There are content priority setting; the need to determine value-semantic guidelines, attention to professional training; emphasis on the development of creativity, etc. Analysis of children's films, presented at the International Film Festival "Bronze Knight", enabled us to identify the characteristics of their artistic-figurative system. On the one hand, there is an orientation toward the Soviet film tradition with its distinct guidelines for the transmission of cultural value-semantic attitudes and special aesthetics. This is manifested, firstly, in themes, plots and heroes (humanistic values are glorified, respect for each other and love for their homeland, people and culture are instilled; a positive hero striving for good deeds; the presence of creative and instructive elements, a craving for intellectuality); secondly, in artistic aesthetics (close-ups, landscape photography; foreshortening; even rhythm, experiments with color: sepia, aged shots). On the other hand, there is an appeal to the modern cinema language, with its priority attention to visual effects, dynamics of frames and rhythm, including youth discourse (slang, neologisms). On the other hand, there is an appeal to the modern cinema language, with its priority attention to visual effects, dynamics and rhythm, including youth discourse (slang, neologisms). Thus, it should be noted that the ideological core of the artistic and imaginative system of children's films is based on the traditions of Russian cinema aesthetics, while maintaining a craving for intellectuality and spiritual and moral themes, while the visual embodiment combines the traditions of Soviet cinema and the means of modern cinema language.

Reorientation of Javanese Beginning Reading Learning Models on the Grade 1 Student of Elementary School

Reading has an important role in life. In Indonesia, beginning reading is introduced from the first grade in elementary schools, including learning of Javanese. Unfortunately, many Javanese children are increasingly strange to the language. Therefore, the learning model chosen must be appropriate. Based on the results of research on schools in the ex-residency area of Surakarta, the most widely use of learning models is spelling with very limited textbooks. The teacher's orientation is only to make students read regardless of whether students' interest in reading grows or not. This is unfortunate because of the important role of motivation to learning outcomes. Therefore, it is very necessary for teachers to pay attention to other factors such as children's learning motivation, appropriate children's reading materials, and other factors so that orientation of Javanese beginning reading not only produces children who can read but also like to read.

Painting Practical Support: A Study about the Usage of Painting Materials in Children’s Painting Works

Painting materials are one of the mediums that help painters to show the effects of paintings. The use of different painting materials can help the painter to display different painting styles and artistic conception. Six hundred sixty-seven children aged 7 to 13 participated in the study. This study is mainly about the impact of the use of different painting materials on children’s painting creation. The questionnaire survey was conducted based on primary school fine arts education to study the influence of painting materials on children’s painting ability. The content of the questionnaire survey was to investigate children’s usage of different painting materials in painting works and the grasp of painting materials knowledge. This research also provided some painting materials training methods for primary school fine arts teachers to guide children to use different painting materials for painting creation based on the study results.

Thou shalt not covet: Role of family religiosity in anti‐consumption

AbstractAnti‐consumption movements, as resistance or rejection of consumption, are opposed in nature to the values of materialism or the idea that possessions are essential to happiness. This article links one anti‐consumption practice, voluntary simplicity, to family religiosity by exploring whether parents' religiosity induces reduced levels of materialism in their children. Children aged 6–14 years and their parents in three secular and one religious school were surveyed, and data were analysed using structural equation modelling. Materialism was divided in four factors: money desire, shopping pleasure, possession pleasure and non‐generosity. Results show that parents with strong religious behaviours have children who exhibit less desire for money and less non‐generosity, but experience a higher shopping pleasure. The effects of parents' religious behaviours on children's materialism are both direct and partially mediated by school type (religious or secular). Religious values in the family environment may contribute to increased anti‐consumption lifestyles in following generations.

The phenomenon of sharenting and its risks in the online environment. Experiences from Czech Republic and Spain

The possibility for parents to share personal and sensitive information about their children, known as sharenting. This phenomenon is becoming more and more common and in recent years is spreading. The objectives of this paper were to analyse the type of content that parents publish about their children and to compare the sharenting behaviour of Czech and Spanish parents. A quantitative methodology was used in a sample of Czech and Spanish parents (N = 1,460). As part of the research, we monitored how many respondents are sharing, in what environment, through what services and what types of their children's material they share, and to whom they make it available. Among the results is that a large majority of parents publish photographs of their children on social networks accessible to their contacts, while not taking into account the privacy of the child. Finally, the main implications are discussed and a series of recommendations are collected for parents in order to avoid risks in the life of the minor.

Tomorrow's rain." If this olfactory gift seemed a pretty risible superpower for an early twentieth century Irish immigrant facing a new life in New York City, it was [End Page 70] going to serve him and his city well, and even win him a share of acclaim. Working for the New York subway system, Kelly sniffed out water leaks before they led to collapsed ceilings and gas leaks before they led to explosions. When his nose wasn't up to a job, Kelly relied on his well-trained hearing to detect drips and hisses, often amplified by his toolkit of chemicals and gizmos that exposed and amplified culprits; he even trained other workers in his methods. His everyday heroism went largely unsung, but his courage and speed rather than his nose finally caught the city's attention when he saved a passenger who had fallen under a subway car from being crushed or being electrocuted by the deadly third rail. Anderson's zesty stick-to-the-facts narration (only a brief passage about Kelly's childhood is speculative) in this picture book biography will be a winner in class units on community helpers, and Harney's digital illustrations, in which the ginger-haired, newsboy-capped Kelly glows with good-natured determination in the shadowy blues of the urban underbelly, crackle with energy. An author's note on Kelly's early life and career includes a photograph; a note on his toolkit, some NYC underground statistics, a note on research, a bibliography, and a short but strong list of related children's materials are also appended.

Child's Play: Multi-Sensory Histories of Children and Childhood in Japan ed. by Sabine Frühstück and Anne Walthall

Reviewed by: Child's Play: Multi-Sensory Histories of Children and Childhood in Japan ed. by Sabine Frühstück and Anne Walthall Mark Jones (bio) Child's Play: Multi-Sensory Histories of Children and Childhood in Japan. Edited by Sabine Frühstück and Anne Walthall. University of California Press, Oakland CA, 2017. x, 302 pages. $39.95, paper. Open Access. The essays in this edited volume present a series of snapshots of Japanese childhood, from the worlds of acolytes in medieval monasteries to aspiring young soccer players during the "lost decades." Not all contributions deal [End Page 544] directly with child's play, as the title seems to suggest, but all do attempt to reinvigorate a floundering field—the history of childhood in Japan. French Annales historian Phillipe Ariès birthed the field known as the history of childhood. Ariès's classic text L'enfant et la vie familiale sous l'ancien régime was published in 1960 and translated into English in 1962 with the title Centuries of Childhood. Ariès's central conceit was captured in the phrase "the discovery of childhood." This phrase posited that at a particular point in the past—the seventeenth century, in Europe's case—the child came to be seen as a being different in nature and need from the adult. The book and the phrase quickly inspired European and American historians. Their goal was less to recreate a child's-eye view of the world and more to explore the adult actors who distinguished the child from the adult, created a public understanding of the child's nature, and built the child's world. These historians adopted the methodology known as social constructionism, and they intertwined the history of the adults who constructed modern childhood, from child psychologists and highly educated mothers to children's authors and toymakers, with a series of important historical transformations in the family, education, consumer culture, science, mass media, class formation, and state building. Despite its prominence in American and European historiography dating back to the 1970s, the history of childhood only appeared in Englishlanguage scholarship on Japan starting in the late 1990s. The monographs of Kathleen Uno (1999), David Ambaras (2005), and Mark Jones (2010) hewed closely to the methodological approach of social constructionism, and together they illuminated the adult interests at work in the development of child day-care centers (Uno), the policing of juvenile delinquency (Ambaras), and the birth of a middle-class version of childhood (Jones).1 After the publication of these three monographs, the following decade witnessed only sporadic interest in children's history. The field appeared to be fading until this volume appeared. Frühstück and Walthall have gathered a group of scholars interested in deepening our knowledge of the construction of Japanese childhood and also taking up thorny and unresolved issues in the field of children's history. A number of solid essays in this volume follow the established methodology of social constructionism, focusing on the adult construction of the child's image and world. Jinnō Yuki examines the material and philosophical struggles of two Taisho-era interior designers, Kogure Joichi and Moritani [End Page 545] Nobuo, to design a child's room in the home that centered on the needs of the child as opposed to those of the adult. In a point that echoes a similar observation by historian Gary Cross in the case of American childhood toys, Jinnō asserts that the ideology of child-centeredness was pivotal in giving birth to a child-centered industry that catered exclusively to children and, thus, contributed to the gradual process of expelling adults from the child's material, spatial, and social world. Harald Salomon's essay on the golden age of childhood film in wartime Japan explores how popular films and their directors shaped the public understanding of the child's nature. Films such as Tsubota Jōji's 1937 Kaze no naka no kodomotachi (Children in the wind) promoted a psychologically nuanced, realistic portrait of the child, whose essence was associated with resilience and cheerfulness as much as fragility and struggle. Salomon concludes that these sunny films, and their corresponding vision of childhood, were...

Space to play: identifying children's sites in the Pleistocene archaeological record.

Identifying the residues of children's activities in deep time contexts is essential if we are to build a comprehensive understanding of human cognitive and cultural development. Despite the importance of such data to human evolution studies, however, archaeologists have only recently begun to look for prehistoric children's material culture, and the identification of children's spaces is completely absent for deep time contexts. This paper draws together sociological and historical data regarding the universal need of Homo sapiens children for 'secret' places - places away from parental control. These spaces are important for the behavioural development of children and are universal in modern contexts. This paper demonstrates that these features can be identified in prehistoric archaeological records - and as such - researchers will have new datasets with which to interrogate the role of children in the development of their respective societies.
