Borrowed connectivity: A fictocritical enquiry

This paper is a fictocritical examination of my current research in/with/for the Nightcap National Park, which both argues for, and provides a material example of, the value of the fictocritical form for the interdisciplinary study of place and its place beings. Research within the environmental humanities, with its feminist influences, in critiquing the dualistic proposition at the heart of most Euro-patriarchal research, necessarily troubles the enforcement of the structures of both research methodology and knowledge creation. Creativecritical writing collapses the artificial, binary separation between critical and creative forms and, through its neologic construction, interrogates the primacy of critical thought. Research which explores embodied thinking, entanglements, co-becomings and coproduction of knowledge/s is only possible from a non-dualistic cosmological position, making it incapable of meeting the paradigmatic demand for objectivity which characterises most normative academic enquiry. Rather than diminishing the value of such research, this divergence liberates the researcher to explore alternative responses to the inquiry. Fictocriticism seeks to understand theory through embodiment, placing the researcher squarely in the field of study, always and already entangled. The fictocritical form represents both the process, and the product of the research.

Synthesis of Kantil Tone Using The Frequency Modulation Method

Music is a creative form of expression that utilizes sound arranged in specific patterns to create artistic works that are enjoyable to the listener. However, in music, excessive or continuous exposure to loud sounds can damage the hair cells in the ear, potentially leading to hearing loss or even deafness. One challenge in musical instrument craftsmanship is the variation in sound produced by different kantil artisans. These differences in sound output lead to inconsistencies in the rhythm of the angklung gamelan in Bali. This research addresses the issue by focusing on the process of synthesizing kantil sounds to achieve a more consistent output. The research begins by inputting audio files for each sound bar in format. The recorded audio data undergoes preprocessing using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method, which extracts key features from the dataset, such as the fundamental frequency. Additionally, the Hilbert Transform is applied to obtain the optimal sound each blade, which will later be used in the Frequency Modulation process. Once preprocessing is completed on the dataset for each blade, the fundamental frequency and signal are acquired. To evaluate the accuracy of the synthesis, the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) is calculated to compare the original signal with the synthesized signal. This step helps determine the degree of difference between the two signals. Ultimately, the result is a synthesized kantil sound that closely resembles the original, helping to standardize sound output among different craftsmen and ensuring consistency in musical performances

The era of hypertext poetry: A study on the digital presentation of visual poetry

Visual poetry is a creative form that combines poetry with visual art. Nowadays, visual poetry is gradually changing under the influence of the digital age, which is called “hypertext poetry” to a certain extent. This paper is based on the present situation of the literature and some existing theories such as visual principle, visual presentation, information structure, and so on. From the classic cases in the long development of “visual poetry” and the outstanding presentation style of “visual poetry” in the Internet era as the material support, this paper summarizes the presentation mode of “visual poetry” at present, and looks forward to its future trend and development direction.

Interactive 3D structural design in virtual reality using preference-based topology optimization

Innovative load-bearing structures often emerge from a fine balance between creative forms and engineering principles. While preference-based topology optimization methods have advanced structural design by considering designers’ geometric preferences, they struggle with visualizing and editing complex 3D details crucial for diverse design options. To overcome this bottleneck, here we propose the improved bidirectional evolutionary structural optimization considering subjective preferences (ISP-BESO) method. This method introduces a similarity constraint that enables precise control over subjective preferences in optimized structures. Then, a design exploration strategy is proposed by integrating virtual reality (VR) with topology optimization for the interactive creation of desirable 3D structures. The strategy employs VR sculpting to offer immersive visualization and real-time feedback, guiding material redistribution during optimization. This workflow can iteratively produce innovative and efficient structures. Adjusting target similarity in ISP-BESO steers designs toward performance-driven or preference-driven outcomes. A museum design example demonstrates the practical potential of this strategy.

Maharashtrian Dalit Jalse as an Inspiration to Anti-caste Movements: A Reply from Subaltern to Subalternity

This article focuses on the Maharashtrian Dalit representation in the popular traditional art form of jalsa and aims to know how Marathi Dalit rangbhoomi/theatre has been used as a source to present stereotypical Dalit untouchability and caste-based issues. A long history of Dalit art from the 1930s to the twenty-first century has been transformed into a creative form for social awakening. Various forms of jalse (like ‘ Amberkarite jalse’ and ‘ Amberkarite Shahiri’, Powade, Ovi or Lavani later became mostly part of Ambedkari jalse) and their response to subalternity have a significant role in inspiring anti-case movements. These forms have influenced Dalit artists and activists not only in Maharashtra but also across India. Visiting the history of Dalit rangbhoomi demonstrates subalterns’ response to a Dalit subalternity. In addition, this study is very substantial to touch on the uncovered area of Dalit jalse and Qawwali as an anti-caste movement. Only countable articles have been published in English on Maharashtrian jalse. Thus, this research is essential to know the world about Dalit’s contribution to art creativity. This article concludes that oral traditional forms have their own representation style, and their aim is to express Dalits’ pain, injustice and struggle through traditional and modern forms of untouchability.

Adapting a cultural dance program to prevent cognitive decline: insights from experts and educators

Abstract Leveraging activities such as cultural dance shows promise as an effective basis for chronic disease prevention and management with at-risk populations. In fact, recent WHO reports and resolutions advocate utilizing cultural context to achieve health equality. Hula, the Native Hawaiian indigenous dance has been successfully utilized in interventions with statistically significant improvement in medication resistant hypertension management and heart disease prevention. In this study, Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD) experts and kumu hula (hula experts and educators) provide insights to developing a hula-based lifestyle program for prevention of cognitive decline. Informant interviews were used to collect information for developing a hula-based program for individuals with mild cognitive impairment from 4 ADRD experts and clinicians, and 4 kumu hula. The 60-90 minute semi-structured interviews were conducted, recorded, then transcribed. Separate thematic analysis allowed distinct themes for each group to emerge. Themes with greatest between group alignment informed the adaptation of an existing hula-based chronic disease intervention. The clinical and cultural experts were unanimous on multiple themes. First, a hula-based program was well positioned to promote social functioning. Second, hula facilitated integrated multi-dimensional benefits including physical, cognitive, social, and cultural. Third, facilitating learning included: repetition done in creative forms; utilization of aids such as dance notation and audio recordings; and educational approaches such as project-based learning. Cultural activities such as dance have been underutilized in health promotion initiatives. A significant challenge in health promotion programs is engagement and retention of participants. Cultural dance programs are popular and can be effective interventions, particularly when both clinical and cultural experts are engaged in program development. Key messages • Inclusion of clinical and cultural experts in health promotion program development leads to unique collaboration and impactful insights. • ADRD clinicians and Hawaiian cultural dance educators identify social, cultural, physical, and cognitive benefits of hula as instrumental for individuals with mild cognitive impairment.

“We Evangelists Are Creative”: Yoruba Pentecostals’ Music-Making on Prayer Mountains in Nigeria

There is a growing interest in scholarship on the creative forms of Pentecostalism in Africa and globally. This study extends the conversation by exploring music-making in prayer mountain spirituality in Nigeria. Specifically, it examines the roles of music makers and their creative processes in prayer mountain liturgy. In addition, it discusses factors that aid creativity among music makers in the prayer mountains. Two popular prayer mountains, namely Orí-òkè Ikoyi in Ikoyi and Orí-òkè Bàbà Àbíyè in Ede, Osun State Nigeria, were selected for the study. Data for the study were generated through participant observations and interviews with music makers including prayer and song leaders as well as instrumentalists on both prayer mountains. Using the dynamic inspiration theory, the study reveals that music-making in Orí-òkè is a triadic process that is spiritually, musically, and situationally integrated. I argue that with Orí-òkè music and musicians, we can further grasp the interplay of human (social) and non-human (spiritual) agency in Pentecostal creative and musical practices.

Working Together to Enhance Autonomy: A Participatory Action Research Among Residents and Staff in a Nursing Home

Care in nursing homes is evolving from a medical to a person-centered orientation. Principles such as participation and autonomy are seen as the basis for person-centered care to live life as a resident prefers. However, often decisions are made for and about the resident by others, which might hinder autonomy. How can a more person-centered way of caring be achieved at the level of the unit with a focus on autonomy and participation? Participative action research (PAR) has promising elements to bring about a change. The aim of this study is to enhance autonomy in day to day practice, with a PAR approach. This led to the following research question: what processes between residents and staff in the participative action research enabled the enhancing of autonomy on the unit level? An action group consisting of residents and staff in one unit of a nursing home identified, undertook, and evaluated actions to enhance residents’ autonomy. The generated data were analyzed with the critical creative hermeneutic analysis. In total, eight themes to describe the process were found. Although there was no evidence that the actions undertaken during the PAR directly led to enhanced autonomy, the learning process and the collaboration of residents and staff is promising. It is recommended to include residents and staff as partners in actions to enhance autonomy in the nursing home. The PAR process worked well for this objective. However, participants’ physical conditions should be considered when choosing working methods. Creative work forms are not always appropriate for the population targeted.

Theoretical Dimension of Modern Designers’ Conceptual Forms of Creativity

The aim of the article is to identify key characteristics of artistic and design practices interaction; to define directions of conceptual design development based on the results of analysing scientific and theoretical foundations of conceptualism as a special form of the artists’ creativity in the 20th century. Results. It is demonstrated that the focus of modern designers on conceptual forms of creativity is explained by the fact that they contribute to forming unique authors’ projects of aesthetic and value content, innovative searches in the context of cultural and civilisational shifts. A conceptual costume of the beginning of the 21st century is a kind of mediator between art practices of conceptual art and design practices in the sphere of project culture, synthesising social and psychological aspects of fashion, social and symbolic functions of clothing. A conceptual design narrativises philosophical, artistic and technological aspects of design, enriching design products with an expressive metaphoricity. It is revealed that in modern art history a clear definition of the term system of the conceptual direction in design has not been formed till now. The research of this complex phenomenon, synthesised by fashion and artistic clothing design, requires a complex interdisciplinary approach. The conceptual costume is studied as an art-design object from the standpoint of global and local tendencies in the society development, which declare certain worldview values in the form of a visual metaphor. Scientific novelty. For the first time, the theoretical understanding of the conceptual costume grounds on the interaction of design with culture and art as a special space of its direct functioning, which makes it possible to form project conceptualism as a special methodology. Conclusions. The authors’ concepts in the costume are extrapolated in different ways: as visual quotations or metaphors; as a transformation of the art object idea into the form of the costume. Actually, they need in-depth and detailed studying.

What happens when flow ends? How and why your creativity is limited after a flow experience

Flow is touted for the enjoyment it provides and for its relationship with concurrent task performance. But what happens when flow ends, and you move on to your next task? Our research demonstrates that there is a cost to being in flow in this regard. Specifically, the findings of three studies with 746 participants demonstrate that a person who just experienced flow carries forward a figurative tunnel vision which limits their creativity. This is important because flow can happen throughout daily life and can thus impair many creative tasks. In fact, our findings demonstrate that common activities can elicit a flow state that produces the effect on multiple subsequent tasks. Specifically, participants who experienced flow while playing video games in Study 1 were less creative in their subsequent two tasks compared to those who did not experience flow. This finding was replicated in Study 2 with a new flow inducing task. Study 2 also confirmed cognitive flexibility as an underlying mechanism wherein flow leads to a reduction in cognitive flexibility. Lastly, Study 3 shows that people can experience flow while shopping online, and if they do, their creativity is impaired in their next task. The negative carry-over effect was not equal for all forms of creativity, however; it consistently limited verbal creativity, but had limited influence on figural creativity. These findings make several theoretical contributions regarding the nature of flow and its consequences, while also providing practical insights for people structuring their day to increase creativity.

Harmony in the brain: A narrative review on the shared neural substrates of emotion regulation and creativity

The contribution of creativity in overall well-being through regulating emotions has sparkled research interest in employing artistic interventions recently for the improvement of mental health. Although the behavioural links between emotion regulation and creativity have been established, the neural networks reflecting these relations are yet to be investigated. In this mini review, we describe the neural underpinnings of all forms of creativity and of the emotion regulation strategies. Given the complexity of both of these constructs, we separate creativity in its various forms and report the regions and the neural networks involved. Similarly, we distinguish between the differential emotion regulation strategies and describe the relevant brain areas and networks. We then proceed to a critical exploration of common regions of interest and of neural pathways among these important functions. The studies included in this review point towards certain brain regions that are shared among creativity and affective control, such as the prefrontal cortex, the anterior cingulate cortex, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the medial temporal lobe and the inferior parietal lobule. The common neural networks of emotion regulation and creativity mainly focus on the default mode, the executive control and the salience networks. We then suggest a shared neural mechanism that may underlie emotion regulation and creativity, involving both control and affective processing. Drawing on the limitations of the studies reviewed, directions for future research are suggested that could significantly inform the field.

Философский диалог: М.М. Бахтин – А.А. Дорогов (воспоминания и архивные свидетельства)

The name of Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin (1895–1975), an outstanding thinker of the 20th century, philosopher and cultural scientist, is widely known. The relevance of his research thought, which comprehended the depth of knowledge about man in the forms of literary creativity, as well as in historical forms of culture, only increases over the years. Because of this, interest in his legacy, including his scientific dialogues, is also increasing. The article provides memories about one of M.M. Bakhtin’s interlocutors – Alexei Alexandrovich Dorogov (1923-2003), whose name is well known only to those who knew him personally, talked with him, listened to his lectures on a wide range of historical, philosophical and cultural problems. This publication sets out to bring out of the shadows of oblivion our remarkable compatriot, a profound and original thinker who was linked to M.M. Bakhtin by a friendship that began on 20 August 1965 and lasted until the latter's death in 1975. Their dialogues can be attributed not just to the genre of memoirs, but to the history of scientific thought. The article is supplemented by the author’s personal memories of meetings and conversations with A. Dorogov. The publication may open up new facets of M.M. Bakhtin’s life and work, as well as to complete the picture of scientific thought of the twentieth century by including in it a little-known thinker, Alexei Alexandrovich Dorogov.

А. АЛТАЙДЫҢ «ТУАЖАТ» РОМАНЫНДАҒЫ НЕОМИФОЛОГИЯЛЫҚ МОТИВТЕРДІҢ АРХЕТИПТІК НЫШАНДАРЫ

The article deals with the archetypal symbols reflected in the ancient Kazakh myths of neo-mythological motives of A. Altai's novel «Tuazhat». In world and domestic literature, interest and the search for myth did not decrease, but increased. The prose of our national literature, which is a component of Kazakh culture, did not stand aside. No matter how much modern human society faces economic difficulties, modern domestic literature is experiencing a spiritual and cultural revival. Today's domestic literature is inspired by the ancient Kazakh archetype, and works are written that meet the requirements of the time. Our writers freely indulge in mystical, utopian and phobic creative forms, reflected in world culture with the help of myths, and describe their thoughts with symbolic metaphors. Mythology acquires its own poetic thinking in the works of Askar Altai. Such mental thinking demonstrates the author's complete creative possession of the nature of the process of mythification of realistic and postmodernist trends. The author draws attention to myths and folklore in the depiction of various negative phenomena that are alien to modern society. He also enriched previously stable and traditional mythological patterns by subjecting them to various changes. The proximity of artistic prose to philosophy and psychology is a proven fact of modern literary criticism. Therefore, the era of the emergence of new absurd, pictorial and mystical works, gradually moving away from the dominance of today's realism, is connected with the author's myth. Thus, at the beginning of the 21st century, Kazakh prose writers, who wrote in various genres, began to freely learn world and ancient Kazakh mythological materials. In the work of Askar Altai, various cultural trends and literary reminiscences are combined in one place in the space of a literary text. Instead of traditionalism, the author created new myths told by a modern "storyteller" who has his own characteristics, a different style of speech, a different understanding of life.

CREATIVITY AS AN ACTIVITY AND CREATIVITY AS A QUALITY OF A PERSON: ESSENCE AND SEMANTIC NUANCES OF USE IN SCIENTIFIC SOURCES AND IN THE TRAINING OF FUTURE TEACHERS

The article deals with the results of the study of the semantic nuances of the use of the concepts of “creativity as an activity” and “creativity as a human quality” in scientific sources and in the training of future teachers in the areas of social, personal, implementation, level and organizational.It has been established that the use of the term “creativity as an activity” refers to the influence on the historical development and activity of the individual to create an objectively or subjectively new product, which, in turn, develops both society and the individual. Instead, “creativity as a human quality” is considered as a quality that develops in the process of socialization.The use of the term “creativity as an activity” refers to the ability to implement new ideas, and knowledge in order to create something subjectively or objectively new. The result of creativity is the uniqueness of the individual’s uniqueness). With regard to the concept of “creativity as a human quality”, realization is provided by the ability of the individual.The concept of “creativity as an activity” denotes the highest level of manifestation of individual activity, a high level of manifestation of skill in activity, a high level of a certain result. Instead, the concept of “creativity as a human quality” is used when determining the levels (primary, middle, high) of formation of creativity as a personal quality in future teachers.The use of the concept of “creativity as an activity” refers to two-stage organization of the creative process, consistency and cyclicality in the stages of creativity, implementation of a tactical-strategic approach to promote the creative process. The concept of “creativity as a human quality” assumes the consideration of factors of the external environment, the future teachers’ actions in the direction of the development of their own creativity, and the lecturers’ actions.

Plurilingual literary writings as tools to develop students’ creativity

In an era marked by rapid change, educators face a persistent call to nurture creativity in students, prompting them to explore innovative solutions. This study investigates the role of students’ plurilingual resources in fostering creativity within a foreign language classroom at secondary school level. Students collaboratively produced literary writings (songs, poems, and short stories) in which they applied their plurilingual resources (all of languages they knew). This case study employs a bottom-up approach to analyse students’ texts to determine whether facilitating the use of their diverse linguistic resources, including the blending of codes and modes, acts as a catalyst for creativity. The research results indicate that the foreign language classroom can indeed serve as a platform for students to engage in various forms of language creativity. The findings also suggest that encouraging students to utilize their diverse linguistic resources enhances language creativity. Additionally, the analysis highlights that the collaborative nature of the task supports the notion that exploring multiple solutions, rather than adhering to a single correct answer, fosters creativity. Furthermore, evidence indicates that creating a safe environment for learners is crucial for encouraging playful and unconventional language use for creative purposes.

The Replacement of What? Artificial Intelligence, Creativity and (More-than-)Humanness

The ongoing discourse regarding the potential substitution of human creativity by Artificial Intelligence (AI) raises questions about the essence of human nature. If the essence of humanity lies in creativity, and if AI can replicate this trait, it appears that creativity alone does not define what it means to be human. Rather than perceiving this as an ‘anthropological loss’ to be accepted or fought against, it can be viewed as an occasion to contemplate the human from a more-than-human perspective. By considering this perspective, it becomes evident that the definition of humanity has been a matter of dispute long preceding the recent advancements in AI. A theoretical approach to the relationship between AI, creativity and more-than-humanness is proposed as a way to show the possibilities that philosophy brings to counteract pessimistic approaches to the replaceability of the human by AI. By challenging the notion that humans are the sole proprietors of creativity, one can explore alternative forms of creativity beyond the human realm and consider how humans can facilitate their emergence.
