An Analytical Overview of Futuristic Strategies in the Practice of Interdisciplinary Architecture Education

Architectural education is a universal discipline that requires an artistic, technical, and holistic perspective. It is a field of science and art that focuses on problem-solving and spatial creativity. As in all fields of science and art, the boundaries and scope of the field of architecture cannot be drawn. Its structure is so broad that it cannot be limited to a single discipline, and at the same time, it is flexible enough to make room for itself in every discipline. In this respect, even the concept of interdisciplinary is insufficient to coincide with the discipline of architecture as it describes a certain cross-section, and it becomes important what the disciplines that include architecture are and what the sentences of architecture can be in areas other than known disciplines. The headings that can be addressed separately are defined under the title "interdisciplinary," and the concept continues to exist as an unexamined area in the flexible and variable structure of architecture without being deepened enough. What is important is to define well which discipline influences to what extent and to define that all interdisciplinary subjects are areas that serve the main purpose of problem-solving and spatial creativity, to preserve the core balance of architecture without getting lost in the vast universe. The study aims to make an analytical look at architectural education, which is the environment where the concept of interdisciplinary in architectural practice is given and the boundaries are first taught. In this way, new expansions and questions are expected to arise in architectural education. From an analytical perspective, the issue of balancing architectural education and industry will be discussed using the PESTEL analysis method, which is a method used in strategic planning and especially in the field of business administration.

The Research and Analysis of the Application of Artistic Design Thinking in Design

The purpose is to study the application thinking of art design, with the unified expansion of conscious initiative as the core. Start with the essence and connotation of artistic design thinking. This paper discusses the nature, function, and application of artistic design thinking and the value of design. First of all, this paper analyzes “art design thinking”, which is divided into objective content and subjective mind fusion. It is a thinking mode applicable to the field of art, with a certain content of artistic thought and a consistent way of thinking, and emphasizes the principle of people-oriented, focusing on emotional experience and unique aesthetics. The paper explains that the characteristics of art design thinking are to understand things, to change things, and to associate things, and emphasizes that design should return to things eventually. Art design thinking is analyzed from the nature, function, and application of design thinking. Practical value, innovative value. In the design, the effective use of the thinking of art design can optimize the design. Then, it analyzes the original function and play of artistic design thinking in design. This involves the cognition, understanding, and comprehensive thinking of the original thing to combine image and rational thinking to extend and optimize creative ideas. Imagination and artistic thinking are transformed into new practical creativity, and art design thinking is used to optimize the design, so that the design has practical aesthetic value, to meet the needs of consumers. In terms of application analysis, it emphasizes the integration of cultural elements into artistic design thinking. This integration reflects that the designer and the spirit of creation cannot be separated, and the spirit of creation is fully reflected.

THE PHENOMENON OF SOCIAL MEDIA IN THE DISCURSIVE FIELD CONTEMPORARY CHOREOGRAPHIC ART

The rapid penetration of social media into all spheres of life dictates the need to shift research attention towards the interactions between social media and art. Global conditions of prevalence have made media communications a leading field for obtaining and representing information. The multimedia tools of modern media in the field of art allow for the continuous expansion of its audience. Consequently, there is a constant search for varied mediation technologies between cultural institutions and society. The aim of the study is to examine the phenomenon of social media as a condition for the representation of the artistic process. The methodological foundation of the research is based on the key concepts of media research pioneers G. M. McLuhan, N. Luhmann, R. Margreiter, and others, as well as the works of several domestic scholars (G. Tasbergenova, G. Begembetov, and others). The main tasks of the article include clarifying key concepts and their theoretical content, as well as analyzing the strategies and tactics of art management in the Astana Ballet theater in the context of the interaction between contemporary choreographic culture and social media. The scientific and practical significance of the research is justified by the need to study and master creative tools for promoting cultural products in the media field of the art industry and the informational mission of art management as a mediator between the author, the art product, and the recipient. In Kazakhstan’s modern media space, a certain experience has been accumulated in influencing society through regular communication about various events in artistic life. An analysis of the PR digital tools used by the Astana Ballet theater reveals their potential for image-building. In its early stages, the theater utilized traditional PR methods with minimal digital content. However, the pandemic amplified the marketing potential of social networks, and now a large part of Kazakhstan’s society turns to media content. The key conclusion is the necessity for the theater to be present not only in sources of information but also in places where like-minded people communicate. The value of this research on the role of social media in the context of contemporary choreographic theater is highlighted by the practical significance of modern art management tools, which open up opportunities for cultural events to influence Kazakh society.

Sustainable creative careers through mentoring: Understanding social resilience in the art field

In recent years, there has been a rise in career development programs for artists, including various types of mentoring programs. However, research on mentoring is scarce within the field of cultural policy. In this paper, we analyse mentoring as a tool for developing creative careers by investigating three different programs implemented in the Norwegian art field. The analysis is based on qualitative interviews with mentors, protégés, and administrators in the three programs, and survey data, applications, and reports from one of the programs. Building on studies that address the social and collective aspects of artists’ and other creatives’ work and using social capital and social resilience as theoretical lenses for our analysis, we argue that despite potential downsides and pitfalls, mentoring can offer a holistic approach to learning, and its activation of collective resources can contribute to resilience and sustainability in creative careers.

Lutas, artes marciais e esportes de combate sob o olhar etnográfico

In the field of human sciences, fighting, martial arts and combat sports have been the object of research, and are approached from diverse methodological approaches, including ethnography. In this sense, this study aimed to analyze the academic productions on fighting, martial arts and combat sports developed in light of the ethnographic method. Based on an integrative review, 12 articles were selected which, after thematic analysis, allowed the construction of four categories: development of social relations in martial arts; body self-perception of martial arts practitioners; motivations for practicing martial arts; influence of ideological aspects on the practice of martial arts. The sportification of these practices has influenced their configurations, and their experience, based on different objectives, contributes to establishing peculiar dispositions in practitioners, who begin to assume certain perceptions of life and behaviors. From the above, it was possible to verify the importance of the ethnographic method for understanding the sociocultural aspects that involve bodily combat practices.

Breton’s Hatchet: A Dream Simulation at the Confluence between Surrealism and AI

Many recent experiences done by AI in the fields of augmented creativity and computational art are full of unleashing the algorithms’ surrealist power. Surrealism, the avant-garde movement Breton launched in 1924 in Paris, combined his artistic needs with those of nascent psychoanalysis: so, dream stories, automatic writing and simulations of mental illnesses allowed historical surrealism to make a notable contribution to the development of psychoanalysis. Now that neuroscience and AI are joining both psychoanalysis and Surrealism, the absence of dream simulation in historical surrealism is even more striking. Dream Simulation is by now a new psychotherapeutic strategy, conceived in Italy by Dr. Francesca Vagnoni, which presents interesting points of contact with the experiments the French neurosurrealist group Obvious is carrying out by AI.

The Color Harmony Estimation Model Construction Based on Two Layers of MLE and BPNN in the Color Matching Field

In the field of art, color matching is widely used in various art designs, such as images, posters, clothing, and interior home design. Among them, harmonious color matching is the decisive factor in whether a design is popular or not. To solve the problem of estimating color harmony, this study analyzes from the perspective of color pairs and uses the two-layer maximum likelihood estimation method to make preliminary predictions of color harmony by statistically modeling paired color preferences in existing datasets. After obtaining the preliminary estimation of color harmony, multiple linear regression is selected for denoising processing. Subsequently, the preliminary prediction results were refined using a backpropagation neural network, extracting various color features in different color spaces, and ultimately obtaining accurate harmony estimates. The results indicate that, compared with existing methods, the proposed method can simulate the aesthetic cognition of different users towards different color themes. Under the same statistical method, the model can maintain good harmony estimation and experimental results. This method can promote the development of related research fields, such as quickly evaluating the color harmony of an image, and one click color changing in scenes such as clothing, home, 3D models, etc. according to different user needs.

The Rise of Individual Personhood in Early Medieval China

The term “Early Medieval China” usually refers to the Wei Jin period, also known as the Wei Jin Southern and Northern dynasties (Wei Jin Nanbei chao 魏晉南北朝). This era was characterized by extreme sociopolitical circumstances, marked by constant instability, upheavals, wars, corruption, intrigues, external invasions and the exhaustion of the population. These conditions led to significant and unprecedented social and intellectual transformations that profoundly impacted Chinese culture, especially in the fields of philosophy and art. This article explores the cultural and philosophical ideas of the period that contributed to the rise of individual personhood, which emerged as a response to the suppressive and authoritarian Han Confucianism, which was heavily influenced by Legalist doctrines. Neo-Daoism, the most important stream of thought that arose from the political turmoil of the period, provided intellectuals with a refuge during these traumatic times, allowing them to explore new ways of philosophizing and experiencing an aesthetic way of living. The article examines the philosophical inquiries of the School of Profound Learning (Xuanxue 玄學) and Pure Conversations (Qingtan 清談) movement, which gave rise to self-awareness and fostered new perspectives on individual personhood.

Archival F(r)ictions: A Queer Vocabulary for a Live art Pedagogy

ABSTRACT In this article, I consider the global tradition of live art as a pedagogical force that draws on queer affect and resonance. Scholars of performance studies have situated live art in the field of experimental and undisciplined art but have not given enough attention to its pedagogical potential. In southern Africa, live art has been theorised as a practice that is leaky, transgressive, and undisciplined, emphasising risk, extremity and endurance. These conditions are partly shaped by the region’s historic struggle for liberation since the twentieth century but cannot be reduced to this period alone. As an African practitioner and scholar of live art with a Namibian and South African experience and training, I draw on various experiences of performing, workshopping, curating and researching live art, offering a queer vocabulary to develop the pedagogical potential of live art. I posit that this is a vocabulary for Archival F(r)ictions, emphasising the centrality of archival work in live artistic pedagogies. These pedagogical frameworks rely on the principles of critical consciousness, embodied learning and democratic participation as put forward by the Brazilian critical pedagogue Paulo Freire. As a result, I show how gestures of hoeing and smuggling can produce joy, pleasure, and irritations as sites of queer epistemic work.

Art literacy of masters students and masters in folk artistic culture

Introduction. The relevance of studying the phenomenon of artistic literacy is determined by the fact that the ability to understand art is a necessary skill of a modern person. Artistic literacy at work refers to the ability to study art, as well as apply this knowledge when creating your own works of art. The purpose of this article: to study the characteristics of artistic literacy of undergraduates and masters of folk art culture. Materials and methods. This study of artistic literacy was carried out through a diagnostic method. The sample members were masters and undergraduates in the field of study 51.04.02 “Folk artistic culture” in the direction “Musical heritage of the Russian people”, studying or completing their studies at I.A. Bunin Yelets State University. The sample consisted of 43 respondents (N=43). At the time of the study, 19 subjects were studying in the 1st and 2nd years of a master’s degree; 24 subjects completed their studies in this master’s program in 2021-2023. The “Artistic Literacy Scale” by I. Yucetoker was identified as a diagnostic technique, which includes 26 statements. Each statement is asked to be rated on a 5-point scale. The artistic literacy scale consists of 4 factors: “Information need”, “Research activity”, “Use of knowledge of the artistic field in scientific activity”, “Transfer of the results of scientific research into the artistic field into performance and creativity”. Statistical analysis was carried out using SPSS software. To process the results of the diagnostic technique, a t-test for independent samples was used. Also, to identify certain aspects of the conditions for the formation of artistic literacy, interviews were conducted with some of the study participants. Results. The level of artistic literacy among all members of the sample is quite high. There were no statistically significant differences among the groups of respondents distributed by gender (t (43) = 1.42; p > 0.05), while statistically significant differences were observed between the groups of undergraduates and masters (t (43) = 3.02; p > 0.05). Master's students demonstrate better results, which is determined by their professional experience. The main problem areas for master's students are related to the use of knowledge of the artistic sphere in scientific activities and the transfer of the results of scientific research into the artistic sphere into performance and creativity. Apparently, the process of developing functional literacy at a professional level is associated not only with receiving vocational education, but also with the first experience of professional activity. The high level of artistic literacy of master's students is due to the presence of such circumstances as passion for a certain creative and/or performing practice, extensive experience of solo or group participation in various musical or cultural projects. Scientific novelty. For the first time, based on a sample of Russian students, the results of assessing artistic literacy are shown. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used to optimize the process of organizing research work of undergraduates, as well as industrial internships.

The authors illustrate their suggestions on ways to overcome phonetic interference with examples and analyze in detail the phonetic features of the texts of vocal works included in the repertoire of Chinese vocalists of the first academic year. The article notes the importance of interaction between teachers of Russian as a foreign language and vocal teachers in the process of working on the elimination of pronouncing defects at the stage of the introductory phonetic course. The materials of the article can be used by specialists of higher educational musical institutions working with Chinese students whose goal is to receive vocal education.

Looking at Arts Institutions, Communities, and Space: Reflections and Research from the Field of Art Sociology

In this introduction to the journal issue, the editors characterize the individual scholarly articles included in the volume. They also briefly recall their research interests in the field of art. The texts in the volume deal with three intertwining dimensions: cultural and art institutions, communities (artistic and aesthetic), and space. Most of the authors presented their research at the academic conference ‘Esthetic Communities and Artistic Institutions’ (2023), organized by the Art Sociology Section of the Polish Sociological Association. Polish contemporary sociology of art is mainly empirical sociology. Qualitative research in the field of art sociology in Poland has been used since the 1960s. Initially, they had been treated as experimental, gradually transforming into an increasingly common approach. Sociologists most often used various types of qualitative analyses of materials as well as interviews. Researchers still often use these techniques today, but one can also see the use of other methods, e.g., as part of the art-based research approach (this methodological orientation was used in one of the articles).
