NOTES ON PHOTOGRAPHY AND CULTURAL TRANSLATION

The essay explores issues in the cultural translation of photographic images and ideas, particularly between East and West. Audiences and institutions continue to fall prey to the persistent notion that photography should demonstrate aspects of national identity. This foregrounding of cultural difference inhibits more layered interpretations. The work of cultural translation involves the movement of subjects rather than objects, with dialogue and personal experience essential to understanding. Drawing on the author’s experience working in China, the essay looks to Homi K. Bhabha, Jacques Rancière and 1960s critical pedagogy for constructive terms to shift the perspective of photographic education.

Social Electrical Engineering: A Pathway for Better Undergraduate Education

As engineering skills becomes a commodity, electrical engineers’ programs are urged to adapt their pedagogical strategies do better prepared their graduates. The 21st century engineers are expected to have a strong technical background while being capable to work with people with different kinds of intellectual and social capitals, and to have a high level of cognitive flexibility. This article reports on the application of an information appropriation method, adopted by the Department of Electrical Engineering at PUC-Campinas, where activities on extension projects are simultaneously conducted along with the regularly schedule classes. The study case is related to the coplanning and cocreation of a technological white cane (proof of connect) between electrical engineering students, social technicians and the visually impaired. In the present case, the technicians were led to reinterpret, adapt and reinvent technology while contributing to the design and build of a low cost adaptive electronic sensing aid attachable to a white cane. The collaborative method, applied during conversation rounds, is based on a virtuous cyclic process which includes steps like information capture, validation, guidance and feedback. The engineering students, on the other hand, have the opportunity to develop their communication, analysis and interpretation skills in a way not available in the classroom. They also experience solving conflict situations and find creative uses and applications for they knowledge not otherwise foreseen. The participating students transformed information into knowledge through a dialogical experience with people having a contrasting technological background to its own. Through this experience the engineering graduates emerged with a greater sense of responsibility with the society and a better understanding of what means to be an engineer. Participation in the Extension Project also brought up several opportunities of professional recognition by the technicians and the visual impaired themselves, which stimulated the students do achieve better performance in the course.

“Guide or conversation?” The experience of Second-Generation Pakistani Muslim men receiving CBT in the UK

Islam constitutes the world’s second largest religious group. In the United Kingdom (UK), Islam is the second largest religion after Christianity; the largest group of Muslims in the UK is of Pakistani heritage. This qualitative practice-based research study used Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis to explore the experiences of six second-generation Pakistani Muslim men (SGPMM) who had completed cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) in the UK. Three superordinate themes were generated: “Pre-CBT difficulties,” “The process of CBT,” and “The interaction between CBT and Islam.” This paper elaborates the second theme, “The process of CBT,” as the researchers believe it offers the strongest implications for clinical practice and research. This theme captures participants’ thoughts and feelings about the process of their therapy, and further consists of four sub-themes: “Experience of therapeutic dialogue: Guide or conversation?” “Experience of matching: Tailor or taboo?” “Benefits of CBT: Simple tools, big impact, enlightenment”, and “Limitations of CBT: Problems with language.” These findings seek to inform counselling psychologists and services working with SGPMM, to contribute meaningfully to existing research literature, and to encourage future research.

Company-community dialogue builds relationships, fairness, and trust leading to social acceptance of Australian mining developments

Abstract Social licence to operate has become an integral part of the discourse around social accountability for mining globally. Meaningful engagement between companies and communities has been proposed as a foundation for relationships that support a social licence. The links among these elements are investigated in the present research, which developed and tested a model exploring correlations between one such engagement mechanism, dialogue, and company-community relationships. It also considered other critical elements of social licence, including procedural fairness, trust, and social acceptance of mining. Survey participants (N = 560) were Australians living close to mining or natural gas development across 11 non-metropolitan regions in Australia. Path analyses showed that the more positive community members’ experiences of dialogue were, the stronger their relationships with company personnel and the more they perceived that the procedures used by the mining industry were fair. These factors, fairness and relationships, mediated the significant indirect effects that dialogue had in building trust in the mining industry, which, in turn, predicted increased acceptance of mining. The findings support previous research in indicating that fairness, trust, and acceptance are critical elements in social acceptance. The findings provide an empirical link between these factors and the quality of dialogue and of company-community relationships. These results have implications for future research on social licence and the development of engagement strategies that seek to foster community and broader social acceptance.

Waacking: A Shift from Gay Refusal to Gender Refusal

The medium of dance is most often valued in Western society for its artistry and great skill of movement. However, the beauty of this medium often overshadows its ability to create pointed, and often political, messages through the body’s kinesthetic movement in physical space. As embodied expression through time and space, dance must be understood as an art form that actively seeks to create meaning (Hellensleben 2010), a fact that is acutely evident in the dance form known as Waacking. Born out of improvisation-based techniques, Waacking originated in gay, Black and Latino underground disco clubs of 1970’s Los Angeles. The gestures of Waacking were inspired by classical Hollywood glamour actresses, culminating in the distinctive fast, rhythmic arm whipping typical of this dance style. Yet, it is the more performative elements of the dance that holds one’s interest by including components of large locomotion, dramatic gesture and facial expression, and a compelling narrative. This expressive style of movement resulted in Waacking becoming a catalyst for gay refusal, functioning as a method for gay men to express themselves and fully explore their identity. Through an analysis of personal experience and online videos in dialogue with the methodologies of embodiment, phenomenology, and performativity, I will explore how Waacking has shifted from a form of gay refusal to a form of gender refusal, allowing there to be a renegotiation of gender standards through the catalyst of black queer kinesthetics and gender kinesthetics.

УЧАСТЬ В. ЧОРНОВОЛА У ПРОТИДІЇ РОСІЙСЬКІЙ АГРЕСИВНІЙ ПОЛІТИЦІ ЩОДО УКРАЇНИ У 1990-Х РР

To explore the historical development of the national community, it is important to study the ideas and activities of prominent personalities that have influenced the course of events. The prominent Ukrainian public-political and state-creative figure Vjyatsheslav Chornovil belongs to such figures. His influence on the Ukrainian historical process is noticeable during the 1960-1990s. He took an active part in the state and political life of the 1990s as a people's deputy and chairman of the People's Movement of Ukraine. He directly participated in the Ukrainian-Russian inter-state relations, influenced the formation of a policy towards Russia. Therefore, the main task of this article is to analyze the participation of V. Chornovil in the tense process of formation of modern Ukrainian-Russian relations.He has established close relations with many Russian opposition figures during the struggle against Soviet totalitarianism and during while in concentration camps on the territory of Russia. In August 1991, V. Chornovil, together with the Russian democratic forces, coordinated joint actions at a dangerous time for Ukrainian and Russian democracy, just when in the Soviet Union had an attempt at a coup d'état.After the restoration of Ukraine's independence, relations with the part of Russian leaders at V. Chornovil have changed dramatically. They negatively reacted to Ukrainian independence. Such a position can be explained by the fear of losing Ukraine, which for the former metropolis was a significant reservoir of material goods and human potential. Those who cherished imperial ambitions, realized that without Ukraine, Russia would not be able to revive a full-fledged empire like the former empire.Chornovil V. was not surprised at the new attitude to the processes in Ukraine, because he had the experience of long-term dialogue with Russian oppositionists. He tried to convey to Russian leaders an understanding that Ukrainian and Russian peoples will benefit from fruitful Ukrainian-Russian dialogue, understanding and cooperation. Chornovil V. demanded from the Ukrainian authorities during talks with the Russian side to stubbornly defend national interests, no to trade in sovereignty. Criticized both Leonid Kravchuk and Leonid Kuchma for failing to first no take control of the Black Sea Fleet, and subsequently agree with Russia the deadline for the withdrawal from the Ukrainian territory of the Russian Navy.The conclusions note that V. Chornovil was a supporter of good-neighborly Ukrainian-Russian relations, based on the principles of equality and mutual benefit. In view of Russia's aggressive actions against Ukraine, V. Chornovil advocated the idea of strengthening the foundations of national security.

World-viewing Dialogues on Precarious Life

In the last sixty years the West-European religious landscape has changed radically. People, and also religious and humanist communities, in a post-sec¬ular world are challenged to develop a new existential, ethical and spiritual language that fits to their global and pluralistic surroundings. This new world-viewing language could rise out of the reflection on contrast experiences, positive and negative disruptive experiences that question the everyday inter pretations of life. The connection of these articulated reflections on contrast experiences with former world-viewing sources and practices with regard to precarious life could provide new meaning and orientation for individuals and communities. Four different sorts of dialogues can be distinguished, which together I call world-viewing dialogues: contrast experiences and the dialogue with oneself, contrast experiences discussed in small groups, contrast experiences and values in our nowadays society and contrast experiences in dialogue with philosophical and religious traditions from different cultures and ages.

Dimensions of Christianity and the Amplification of Ecumenism in Brazil

Christianity is the largest religion in the world and is clearly constituted in a very heterogeneous way through many doctrines and institutions. It is no different in Brazil. Without considering smaller groups, Kardecist Spiritism, which is the third largest religious branch (after Catholicism and Protestantism), is gradually being recognized as a part of Christianity due to the central worship of Jesus Christ—not as God, but as God’s assistant in the Earth’s creation and government—and to works of mercy, based on the principle of charity. Catholics, Protestants, and Spiritists have been—even though in a discreet and moderate way—carrying out activities over and above traditional ecumenism as part of interreligious dialogue. In some events dedicated to Bible studies as well as to the discussion of different themes, Spiritist speakers, Protestant pastors, and Catholic priests participate surmounting expressive doctrinarian differences in favor of a wider Christian identity. Based on field work as well as bibliographical research, this article focuses on these experiences of dialogue among the three different and larger branches of Brazilian Christianity.

Considering Gestational Life

This paper is an exploration into the question, “What does considering gestational life add to analytic theory and practice?” It attempts to situate prenatal experience in the psychoanalytic dialogue, to explore its place in subsequent mental life, to discuss how this may be useful in clinical process, and to reconceptualize some theory in light of a gestational perspective. Neuro-psychoanalytic theory is utilized with an emphasis on nonconscious mental process which takes the form of implicit memory, providing people with a sense of continuity and well-being or stress. Intra-uterine experience can include pain and suffering. Fetal stress is an integral part of prenatal development and its metaphorical use in clinical practice. Three concepts—gestational being/becoming, geatational holding, and objectless intersubjectivity—are offered as ideas to introduce order and conceptual clarity into the ineffable mysteries of in utero process. A gestational perspective is used to describe how the analyst intuitively tracks the patient’s sense of well-being/stress.

In Dialogue with the Decorative Arts

ABSTRACTHow can museum educators create dialogical experiences with European decorative arts? This question frames my essay and stems from the challenges I have faced introducing objects whose original functions seem to overshadow their aesthetic and interpretive value. Repeated efforts to spark rich dialogue and collective interpretation around pieces of decorative art at The Frick Collection, specifically, has shown that, whereas painting and sculpture inspire responses that are not just formal in nature but also subjective and even phenomenological, clocks, commodes, porcelain and other such objects are seemingly less accessible, met with apparent discomfort, and confronted with the following questions: What was this used for? How was it made? How much did it cost? What is its provenance? Painting and sculpture, especially canonical examples of each, seem immune to this line of questioning and thus riper for dialogical engagement as defined by museum educators Rika Burnham and Elliott Kai-Kee. Without devaluing the importance of technical art history, functionality, materiality, and the history of collecting, I will explore how museum education – and the visitor experience broadly defined – is affected by the canon of art history’s hierarchical categorization of the fine and decorative arts.

Management education within pharmacy curricula: A need for innovation

ObjectiveTo encourage the academy to pursue innovative management education strategies within pharmacy curricula and highlight these experiences in a scholarly dialogue. Summary: Management has often been a dreaded, dry, and often neglected aspect of pharmacy curricula. With the release of Center for Advancement of Pharmacy Education (CAPE) Educational Outcomes 2013 as well as Entry-Level Competencies Needed for Community Pharmacy Practice by National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) Foundation, National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), and Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) in 2012, managerial skills have seen a new emphasis in pharmacy education. Further, management has greater emphasis within ACPE “Standards 2016” through adoption of CAPE Educational Outcomes 2013 into the standards. Previous literature has shown success of innovative learning strategies in management education such as active learning, use of popular television shows, and emotional intelligence. The academy must build a more extensive scholarly body of work highlighting successful educational strategies to engage pharmacy students in an often-dreaded subject through applying the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.

Performance as Pedagogy: Children’s Trust and the Negotiation of Subjectivities in the Context of Deliberative Dialogue

In this article, we examine children’s (aged 9–11) experience of deliberative dialogue in which they sought to reach consensus around a shared problem with their peers. Through analysis of pre- and post-task interviews as well as videotapes of the sessions, we explore the pedagogical nature of children’s engagement. In light of shifting trust assessments of their peers, children tried on new roles and identities, even as they bumped up against entrenched narratives of self gleaned from prior experience. It is in the negotiation of these multiple subjectivities that children demonstrated their potential for rereadings of themselves in relation to others, challenging stereotyped subjectivities, and experimenting with their emerging voices. We foreground three children, Helen, David, and Addie, whose experiences serve as windows into the role of trust in civic learning.

A Preparação Corporal para a Cena como Evocação de Potências para o Processo de Criação

O presente artigo tem o intuito de analisar o espaço da preparação corporal para a cena como local de evocação de potências para o processo de criação. Apontamos e aprofundamos pensamentos sobre a preparação do corpo na dança e no teatro a partir do atravessamento de experiências de duas dançarinas-atrizes-pesquisadoras-docentes com formação nestas áreas que desenvolvem juntas uma pesquisa voltada para a preparação corporal dos artistas da cena. Iremos falar de nossas próprias experiências, dialogando com autores que vislumbraram a cena como espaço sagrado do humano, como espaço da instabilidade, da descoberta, da intuição. Propomos uma reflexão sobre as etapas do processo de criação, sugestão de conteúdos que possam ancorar os trabalhos em sala de ensaio e a partilha de experiências vividas desde o início do projeto de preparação corporal.

Prácticas pedagógicas en contextos de pluralidad religiosa en Colombia

The objective established for this study was to identify the religious beliefs of primary school students in a context of cultural diversity and the perspectives of curriculum design proposed by religious education in educational institutions the Cauca Colombia. Using qualitative methodology: micro-ethnography, non –structured informal interviews were conducted with-grades 3, 4 and 5 students to identify their religious beliefs. In order to reveal the programmatic elements of the religion class curriculum, teachers conducted participant observation, as well as implementing field diaries to track religion class and the interactions of students. The analysis of institutional documents and the study plans for religion of the respective grades complemented the investigative and comparative work done by the teacher. The findings showed religious plurality in schools in the Cauca with interaction between Catholic, Christian, and indigenous students with ancestral beliefs, who valued the religion class, but questioned why only one religion was presented and not that to which they belonged. The proposal of religious education in the institutions participating in the study used, the standards of the Catholic Church as a reference, but there are schools in which the teachings of the indigenous worldview and Christian churches are being integrated as an experience of dialogue and interaction beyond proselytizing purposes such as progressing toward tolerance and peace in the school environment.

Dialogue and discussion: Reflections on a Socratic method

This article starts from the observation that Socratic dialogues in the Nelson–Heckmann tradition can create a sense of belonging or community among participants. This observation has led me to the current argument that Socratic dialogue offers an alternative to more prominent forms of conversation, which I have called ‘discussion’ and ‘discourse of uncritical acceptance.’ I explain the difference between these forms of conversation by considering the role of experience in Socratic dialogue and the requirement that participants put themselves in each other’s shoes. My argument is structured according to the different phases in a Socratic dialogue and placed within the literature on this method, as well as Hannah Arendt’s writing on imagination.

Democracia Deliberativa: Marco normativo y herramienta para la participación ciudadana

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo contribuir al desarrollo de una cultura política del diálogo para la paz. Para ello se presenta un marco histórico, conceptual y evaluativo de la democracia deliberativa como horizonte de una cultura política de diálogo y paz, se evalúa un caso concreto de espacio público convocado por el Gobierno de la República (El Consejo Económico Social, CES, 2009), y se recomiendan una serie de variables que permitan construir indicadores para el seguimiento de futuras experiencias. Para ello se adopta un enfoque metodológico exploratorio cualitativo, en el que se propone y documenta un modelo de política democrática “deliberativa”, y desde el cual se evalúan algunas experiencias de diálogo social y político en El Salvador, desde la 1970 hasta la convocatoria en 2009, por parte del Gobierno de la República a la conformación del CES. Como resultados, tenemos un esquema básico de las ideas clave de una concepción de la democracia que puede servir de marco para el ejercicio de una ciudadanía activa; una valoración de la experiencia del CES como un espacio para la deliberación en torno a un problema nacional, como lo es la fiscalidad, que al no llegar a acuerdos sobre ello, deja una experiencia importante para seguir avanzando en diálogos futuros; y, finalmente, una propuesta que permita construir herramientas para el seguimiento (medición), de la calidad de los procesos democráticos deliberativos.
