Celebrification and viewer interaction in microcelebrities’ product promotion videos

This study adopts virtual ethnography and discourse analysis to investigate celebrification in product promotion videos created by microcelebrities based in Taiwan. To explore the communicative functions of celebrification practices, in particular how product features motivate novel practices, this study focuses on three interrelated levels of analysis on videos and viewers’ comments collected from the microcelebrities’ YouTube channels. First, it examines how microcelebrities use multimodal resources to describe products and advertise them. It then analyses how microcelebrities present themselves via celebrification practices to project images suitable for product brands. It also examines viewers’ comments in response to microcelebrities’ self-presentation and celebrification strategies. It is argued that celebrification in product promotion videos constitutes a creative means of communication for microcelebrities to craft a self according to product features (Goffman, 1959). By highlighting salient aspects of their characters or personas, microcelebrities demonstrate their competence related to promoting products and social protocol.

MEDIASI SEBAGAI SOLUSI ALTERNATIF KONFLIK KELUARGA PERSPEKTIF HUKUM ISLAM DAN HUKUM PROGRESIF

Mediation is a fast, cheap, and satisfying alternative in resolving disputes. In reality, however, the opposite of these hypotheses occurs. As a result, a holistic understanding of mediation is required so that in the future, mediation can exist progressively in handling, reducing, and resolving family conflicts, thereby achieving the ideals of sakinah mawaddah warahmah in the family. The purpose of this paper is to analyse mediation through the perspective of Islamic law and progressive law. The analysis’s findings, which were obtained using normative methods and an analytical-descriptive approach, demonstrate that, from the perspective of Islamic law, the current model of mediation is the result of the integration of sulh and tahkim which the process of disputing parties negotiating with the assistance of a mediator who facilitates and controls the process to reach a consensual agreement. Sulh describes the characteristics of reaching a consensual agreement, while tahkim describes the characteristics of appointing a third party as a mediator. Meanwhile, according to progressive law, mediation is a creative, innovative, productive, fair, and dynamic means of resolving family conflicts. So mediation exists and is progressive as an institution that serves humans and solves problems in order for them to be happy.

Transdermal Patch: A Novel Approach for Transdermal Drug Delivery

A self-contained, covert, medicated adhesive patch known as a transdermal patch offers a practical mode of delivery for a range of skin and body problems. Multiple drug administration has several disadvantages including inconvenient administration, the risk of overdose, lack of patient compliance, and drug plasma level fluctuations. Transdermal medication delivery has emerged as a creative means of achieving systemic drug absorption at a predefined rate over an extended period. Its primary benefits are reduced dose frequency, avoiding first-pass metabolism by entering directly into the systemic circulation, suitability for elderly patients who cannot take pharmaceuticals orally, and ability to be self-administered with fewer adverse effects. This review covers general aspects like drug absorption pathways through the skin, the kinetics of drug absorption, different factors affecting the transdermal permeability, various types of transdermal patches, their components, and evaluation parameters. Additionally, some marketed transdermal patches and therapeutic applications of transdermal drug delivery systems have been discussed. Moreover, the article includes various generations of advancements in the transdermal drug delivery system and its future aspect.

Music and Aesthetics in Education: Towards a Contemporary View

Abstract Aesthetics provides an important philosophical and practical dimension to arts and music education. It helps teachers and learners consider art more deeply, and find room to explore artistic meaning about the personal, creative, emotional and transformational aspects of human life. However, aesthetic education has not always achieved what it has potential to do because of its disciplinary orientation. At the same time, attempts to negate aesthetic education have neglected to foreground the creative insights and meanings of personal experience, and as such, have not clearly connected with music (and arts) education. The condition of contemporary education and society necessitates a revision of aesthetics in education that is responsive to the changing nature of art, technology and education. The changing means of music construction and meaning has altered the power and reach of music in society and education. It is proposed that a revised notion of contemporary aesthetics in music education needs to operate on two levels. One, at the personal level, music learners need to be able to articulate and reflect on their music learning experiences. This requires an understanding of aesthetics that is focused on the individual and their discovery of music. At another level, a contemporary aesthetics reaches into places and spaces outside music study. As portrayed in the Nietzschean Dionysian drive, this may include transdisciplinary and exploratory trajectories where music study stands visibly and evocatively alongside other subjects of learning. This involves finding space for the power of music to transform emotion, thinking and action in every area of learning. These two levels and trajectories of contemporary aesthetic education can work together in dialogue despite their intrinsic differences.

Singing for our city: Using song, story and definitional ceremony to honour resilience during social unrest in Hong Kong

The social and political unrest in Hong Kong in recent years has left many people feeling distressed and struggling to hold on to hope for the city. Some accounts have blamed the unrest on the ‘shortcomings’ of the young people involved. As a counter to this discourse, we sought to elevate the voices and knowledge of young people. This paper relates the story of a young person called Sammy, who struggled to resist the aftereffects of the trauma he experienced during the protests in 2014 and 2019. Through exploring the values that underpinned his actions during the events, he developed a preferred story of deeply held commitments to protecting the lives and wellbeing of others, and to the city of Hong Kong itself. Together we explored creative means to document and share his lived experience. Sammy eventually developed his own form of therapeutic documentation, devising a performance that wove together song and story. This performance also became a definitional ceremony through which witnesses to Sammy’s story came together as a community united by shared values and commitments, challenging the silencing and individualising of a collective experience.

Positive and negative moods differently affect creative meaning processing in both the native and non-native language

Previous research has shown that positive and negative moods differently modulate lexico-semantic processes. However, little is known about effects of mood on creative meaning comprehension in bilinguals. Here, Polish–English (L1–L2) female bilinguals made meaningfulness judgments on L1 and L2 novel metaphoric, literal, and anomalous sentences during an EEG session featuring positive and negative mood induction. While novel metaphors elicited comparable event-related potential responses to anomalous sentences in the N400 time frame indexing lexico-semantic processing, the former evoked smaller amplitudes than the anomalous condition in the late positive complex (LPC) window, marking meaning re-evaluation. Also, the LPC responses to the three sentence types all converged when participants were in a negative mood, indicating that a negative mood, unlike a positive one, inhibits reliance on general knowledge structures and leads to more detail-oriented processing of semantically complex meanings in both L1 and L2.

Concept fusion in modern rock music in Ukraine

The work aims to explore the significance of the concept of "fusion" in the development of modern rock music in Ukraine. The research methodology consists of the application of several approaches: historical - in the accumulation of data obtained from primary sources, musicological and art literature on the selected topic; analytical - in the use of art and cultural literature; system, which allowed to summarize the artistic and aesthetic features of the genre of rock music, theoretical and prognostic method - allowed to summarize the study and substantiate proposals for solving complex issues facing Ukrainian rock music. Scientific novelty: for the first time in national art history, the concept of "fusion" is represented in Ukrainian rock music, which synthesizes ancient Ukrainian song traditions with the latest achievements of Western European musical culture. Conclusions. The concept of "fusion", as a multi-valued term, by its nature, has a unique creative meaning and contains an innovative idea. The concept of "fusion" in Ukrainian rock music has a certain nature of conflict, because, on the one hand, Western European influences, which began in the early twentieth century, embraced the cultural life of young people, and stimulated the emergence of new genres in contemporary Ukrainian music. On the other hand, the rethinking of Ukrainian folklore, ie the transformation of traditional Ukrainian folk songs (renditions of ancient family songs, calendars, and rituals, etc., containing ethno-trends identified and outlined the further development of rock music in Ukraine. Keywords: fusion, rock-music, concept, folklore, ethno-rock, autentic rock, music culture.

JARWA DHOSOK: WAYS OF CREATING, THEMES, AND FUNCTIONS

This paper deals with a Javanese traditional formula widely known as “jarwa dhosok”. By this formula and motivated by various intentions, Javanese people used to conform wittily the literal meaning of Javanese words with the creative meaning resulted from extension or modification of their consisting syllables. By using a number of data collected from website and added with ones I had found during my 40 year stay in Yogyakarta, I focuse my attention on the approaches of creation, semantic domains, and communicative functions by structural, contextual, and interpretative methods. Mostly “jarwa dhosoks” are created by treating the words to be defined as acronyms with final syllabic rhyming pattern, some of them are done with initial and combination of initial and final syllables. Jarwa dhasa created by various kinds of sound changes are much fewer in number. The practises of creating “jarwa dhosok” are used to fulfill various kinds of pragmatic function, mainly emotive, connative, poetic, jocular, and metalinguistic function, etc. Even though most of words to be defined in “jarwa dhosoks” are created to be semantically conformed with the intentions, many of them might be difficult to comprehend by outsiders or unfully pledged speakers without comprehensive understanding of the Javanese cultural practices in its broadest sense.

The Principle of Global Axiology: ’’The Shepherd’s Rod’’ for the Whole Human Name

We want peace and not war is the calling of the whole world. It is our daily calling. How do we pedagogues of all levels respond to the call of immortality? This is the Ion Druță’s calling to which we align by thinking and acting in the context of our being, directly of the being of the whole world, the Principle of Global Axiology - "The shepherd’s rod" of the whole human race. It is appropriate to emphasize the achievements of the creation of the entire human race in cultural, economic and social diversity. This is the case of our everyday occupation in which, in the format of set theory, the accents of complementary meaning the theory of multiple graces / TGM (L. Botezatu) - the theory of multiple intelligences / TIM (H. Gardner) guarantees its philosophical-centric positioning. It is the fact that the Paideia art reaches the peaks of the first signs of the markers in accessing "to be here". It is the day-to-day operation of "being beyond", vocally engaged in the work of responsibility for value resignation. Know how to choose the most efficient epistemic configurations; to order them and subject them to the laws of the mechanics of action by connecting the PAG/ Principle of Global Axiology from the TMSC/ Theory and Special Methodologu of Creativity (vis-à-vis the specific concerns of the embraced field) to the TMGC/ Theory and General Methodoogy of Creativity means to diligently replace yourself on the scale of meritological practices; return to essence - ascension through Spirituality into the Great Spirituality.

Communicating urgency through humor: School Strike 4 Climate protest placards

Protest placards are an important part of School Strike 4 Climate (SS4C) protest culture and illustrate how protesters view, understand and share their environmental concerns. Many of the placards use humor to convey the messages of their creators. Bringing together science communication and humor studies, this paper examines the communicative functions of humor in Australian SS4C posters by asking to what extent protest signs can be understood as a vehicle of science communication. The paper reveals how humorous protest placards become the means of grassroots creativity, exploring bottom-up science communication in an ambiguous, but accessible and enjoyable form.

“It’s Okay to be Slow:” Witnessing the Articulation of Connected Practices by Creative Collectives in Indonesia and Malaysia

This article focuses on the everyday responses of the local creatives in dealing with the problematic single narrative of creative cities. Aiming to understand the everyday creative and media practices of individuals in the creative collectives that are situated in emerging creative cities in Southeast Asia, the research specifically addresses key contemporary debates within the field of urban media and communication studies. The article gives priority to the voices of the city dwellers from a bottom-up approach, looking at the material and embodied practices in their everyday life. Empirically, this article seeks the alternative voices raised by the members of selected creative collectives - four collectives in Bandung, Indonesia, and four others in George Town, Malaysia - in articulating the meaning of creativity, the media practices involved within, and the organic ways of organizing urban collectives. Drawing insights from the notion of articulation and media practice, and by employing both ethnographic and visual methodology approaches, in particular the use of the photo-documentation method, there are three key thematic findings elaborated here. These themes are (1) social settings in media-related practices, (2) material objects and sensitive affection, and (3) the labor of love. The ways in which these are discussed, using a combination of ethnographic vignettes and photo collages, foreground the importance of cultural identity articulation practiced by the creative collectives in both cities. Thus, the interlinkage between mediated experiences, spatial practices, and visual contexts is also a key significant aspect in the analysis of these bottom-up, organic urban creativities.

Task-based approach in the training of future teachers-musicians to creative work with learners

The article reveals the peculiarities of the implementation of the problem-based approach in the professional training of future teachers of Art disciplines. The methods of systematization of scientific research, analysis of psychological and pedagogical literature, classification of pedagogical tasks are used for research. The author proves the leading role of pedagogical tasks in the innovative and creative activity of the teacher, analyses their essential importance for the implementation of pedagogical innovations to provide for the productive education of students. A pedagogical task is defined as a meaningful pedagogical situation aimed at transforming reality, as a means of student activity to achieve certain educational goals. The scientific position is substantiated: the solution to the pedagogical problem is ensured by the dialectical processes of pedagogical thinking being in a complex interaction of its theoretical and practical types. Basing on generalisation of scientific material, the article formulates the requirements for the construction of musical and creative tasks for elementary school students: taking into account the psycho-physiological features of the development of learners; optimality of the ratio between complexity and accessibility of musical material; originality of the form used for material representation; informativeness of the artistic content of the task. The author formulates the principles of organizing the heuristic activity of students-musicians based on the problem-based approach: integrity, informativeness, technological capability, problematicity, integrability, variability. Their importance is determined in the context of professional training of students in practical musical and creative work with a schoolchildren team. Thus, the author proved the responsibility of the higher school for the personality formation of a professional teacher, capable of creativity, able to find new creative means, original and highly productive forms and methods of musical and creative interaction in the process of artistic activity while working with children.

Трансформация культуры в цифровой среде

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that digital technologies have not only expanded the possibilities for creating and processing static and moving images and sound. Their appearance have raised many questions about the work of art authenticity that does not have a material original, about the digital power over human perception and the artist’s fate in the era of the artificial intelligence development. In this regard, the author conducts a content analysis of modern research on the digitalization impact on the culture development and its role in the art process. In classical aesthetics, creativity means producing something new, unforeseen, and unexpected. It’s no good confusing aesthetic novelty and technical innovation. Machines are not yet capable of creating fundamentally new things. In essence, they reproduce the old, which is a problem for many theorists of digital culture, because the widespread penetration of artificial intelligence into all spheres of human activity, including art, will ultimately lead to our getting the dictates of the old.

Leadership Within the Phenomenological Structure of Teacher Creativity

Few studies have investigated the relationship between teachers’ leadership and creativity, and thus far, no quantitative or qualitative studies have been undertaken focusing on teacher leadership in the context of teacher creativity and, more specifically, in the context of the phenomenological structure of teacher creativity. Thus, the study presented in this article draws attention to the phenomenological relationship between teacher creativity and leadership. The research question used as a guide for this study was as follows: What does a teacher’s leadership in the phenomenological structure of teacher creativity mean? The study aimed to describe teacher leadership as a component of the phenomenological structure of teacher creativity. Phenomenology is the study of structures of consciousness as experienced from the first-person (teacher’s) point of view. In the study, integral phenomenology as a specific approach to design was applied. Unstructured in-depth phenomenological interviews were conducted with non-art discipline teachers. This means school teachers who do not teach arts (music, dance, theatre) but other subjects such as physics, mathematics, chemistry, geography, informatics, languages, biology, communication, psychology and, etc. This article presents the results of 19 analysed interviews. Findings showed that the phenomenological structure of teacher creativity consisted of eighteen themes covering specific sub-themes; one theme represented teacher leadership, encompassing innovativeness, influence, and collegiality. The teacher leadership within the phenomenological structure of teacher creativity was related to the following themes: being curious, being brave, being in relationship, being a citizen, motivating, and opening up. It could be concluded that the complex phenomenological structure of teacher creativity proves that neither teacher creativity nor leadership are individual elements or individual competencies that are acquired separately – teacher creativity is always accompanied by teacher leadership and vice versa. Findings provide opportunities to change our conceptions of teacher leadership in relation to teacher creativity. This study shows that teacher leadership does not play a key role in her/his creativity.

THE ROLE OF CREATIVITY IN INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION IN DANCE AND MOVEMENT THERAPY: NARRATIVES OF PRACTITIONERS

Based on the qualitative data, this paper aims to disclose the role of creativity in the therapeutic process from the perspective of dance and movement therapists in Lithuania. The literature on the concept of creativity and its interlinks with communication and the role of creativity is discussed. Based on the semi-structured interviews with dance and movement therapy practitioners, empirical findings reveal the role and meaning of creativity in the therapeutic process and discuss the elements of creativity in dance and movement therapy: game, spontaneity, and imagination. The practitioners of dance and movement therapy tend to conceptualize creativity broader than the classical definitions suggest. The role of creativity subjectively is interpreted as fundamental in the therapeutic process. It binds all other elements of the therapeutic process (such as movement, dance, and a therapeutic relationship); it is seen as a part of the communicative process between the therapist and a client. More specific identifications of the role of creativity foresee creativity as allowing to make a distance from emotionally painful situations and emotions.

New Formats of Interaction Between the Author and the Reader as a Parameter of Linguistic Creativity in <i>Spider-Man</i>, <i>The Incredible Hulk</i>, and <i>Daredevil</i> Comic Books

According to linguistic creativity studies, the text is a product of creative activity of the author, who uses linguistic innovations and creative means mainly at the lexical level. However, linguistic creativity can manifest itself at any linguistic level. The present research featured the manifestation of linguistic creativity at the level of communication and discourse. The paper describes the formats of interaction between the author and the reader in the text of a comic book, which acts as a parameter of linguistic creativity on the communicative and discursive level. American comic books about Spider-Man, Hulk, and Daredevil (1960s–1980s) contain the traditional narrator – reader / listener interaction when the author comments on the real events and gives detailed information about the devices and appliances used by the characters. New creative formats include we (creators) – you (reader) and we (creators and readers). In the we (creators) – you (reader) format, authors share their opinions on the current comic book, publish teasers about the next issue, congratulate themselves and the personages on the work done, and openly communicate with readers through letters to the editorial office. The we (creators and readers) format presupposes a joint participation of authors and readers in the story. These formats emerge under the influence of temporal, cultural, social, economic, and political factors and are mediated by the discursive practices of rotation, dissemination, approximation, convergence, etc.

Readiness of DepEd Teachers to Teach Reading

Readiness to teach is crucial in learning. Learners appreciate and learn Reading when teachers are competent. The study was conducted to determine the readiness of the teacher-respondents to teach Reading along content, procedural, and motivational aspect. Specifically, it described the profile of respondents, determined their problems in teaching Reading, and identified the best teaching strategy. This was conducted in Tigaon District in Camarines Sur, Region V, Philippines. A quali-quanti research, it made use of survey questionnaire and interview schedule. Seventy nine (79) respondents of the 337 teachers from the 23 elementary schools in the district were made respondents and five were interviewed. Findings shows that most of the respondents were between the ages 41-45 age years old, and with the highest educational attainment of Bachelor of Elementary Education. Currently, majority are Teacher 1 with 6-10 years and 26-30 years in teaching. Most are teaching in Grade one. The main problem encountered by the respondents in teaching Reading was the poor reading comprehension of the pupils indicated by 64 of the 79 respondents. The learners tend to literally comprehend the text rather than interpret evaluate, or understand the creative meaning. Experiencing this common problem,71 of the 79 respondents perceive the Marungko Approach as the best method to teach Reading. The level of readiness of the respondents to teach Reading was found high in content (3.44) and motivational aspect (3.43) and moderate in procedural aspect (3.25). Their overall readiness was high, however, they have to work more on their competence along academic qualification and experiences. The study then recommends that DepEd formulates and implements a Reading Development Plan which will include sending teachers to graduate programs and teacher trainings on Reading and Information Technology (IT). Moreover, to address the top three problems of teachers in this study, a Reading Hub or Reading Center in each school may be established to provide daily reading activities for the learners. Keywords: Readiness of Teachers, Challenges of teachers in teaching Reading.
