Digital Preservation, Inheritance, and Innovative Development of Intangible Cultural Heritage from the Perspective of Metaverse

With the rapid change of meta-universe technology, the digital inheritance of intangible cultural heritage ( ICH ) shows unprecedented broad prospects, and injects new vitality into the inheritance and development of ICH. Aiming at the multiple challenges in the process of digital inheritance of ICH, this paper explores in depth the specific application of meta-universe technology in ICH, and proposes a series of innovative strategies such as the digital inheritance of visual language, the construction of immersive experience, the protection of free creation and copyright, and the construction of panoramic interactive venues. These strategies provide a new perspective and practical methodology for the digital inheritance of intangible heritage, and at the same time make a positive contribution to the promotion of the continuous prosperity and innovation of intangible heritage culture. This paper is committed to providing solid theoretical support and practical guidance for the protection, inheritance and innovation of ICH, so as to help ICH culture to be revitalized in the digital era.

Философские основания современного китайского неореализма

Chinese new realism painting is formed under the interaction of western philosophy and Chinese native phi-losophy. Philosophical and cultural theories have had a significant impact on artists’ understanding of real-world problems and the way they conceive art. For some contemporary Chinese artists, philosophical and cul-tural theories have become an integral part of their professional outlook. Neorealist artists depict objective reali-ty according to their feelings, emotions and spiritual values. This paper points out three philosophical concepts that influence Neo-Realism philosophy: symbol philosophy, value philosophy and life philosophy. These philo-sophical schools have influenced the most important conceptual attributes of creation and reflected the particu-larity of neo-realists’ cognition of the world. The particularity of the philosophical and cultural interpretation of the new realist artist’s creation lies in the artist’s high subjectivity, criticism and individualization. It is this philo-sophical premise that opens up a broad space for free creation, showing the subjective understanding of reali-ty, reflecting the inner world of the individual and the interpretation of reality in the works.

Does the Differential Structure of Space-Time Follow from Physical Principles?

This article examines Wigner's view on the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences, which was based on Cantor's claim that 'mathematics is a free creation of the human mind'. It is contended that Cantor's claim is not relevant to physics because it was based on his power set construction, which does not preserve neighborhoods of geometrical points. It is pointed out that the physical notion of Einstein causality can be defined on a countably infinite point set M with no predefined mathematical structure on it, and this definition endows M with a Tychonoff topology. Under Shirota's theorem, M can therefore be embedded as a closed subspace of RJ for some J. While this suggests that the differentiable structure of RJ may follow from the principle of causality, the argument is constrained by the fact that the completion processes (analyzed here in some detail) required for the passage from QJ to RJ remain empirically untestable.

Combinatorial aspects of weighted free Poisson random variables

This paper will be devoted to the study of weighted (deformed) free Poisson random variables from the viewpoint of orthogonal polynomials and statistics of non-crossing partitions. A family of weighted (deformed) free Poisson random variables will be defined in a sense by the sum of weighted (deformed) free creation, annihilation, scalar, and intermediate operators with certain parameters on a weighted (deformed) free Fock space together with the vacuum expectation. We shall provide a combinatorial moment formula of non-commutative Poisson random variables. This formula gives us a very nice combinatorial interpretation to two parameters of weights. One can see that the deformation treated in this paper interpolates free and boolean Poisson random variables, their distributions and moments, and yields some conditionally free Poisson distribution by taking limit of the parameter.

Multimodal Interaction Grammar Analysis Based on Two-Stage User-Based Elicitation in 3D Modeling

Traditional computer-aided design (CAD) tools based on keyboard and mouse interactions present challenges to efficiency and quality in terms of free creation, iteration efficiency, and operational experience. This paper proposes a multimodal interactive guiding grammar framework for virtual-reality modeling scenarios. In studies on the characteristics of multimodal combinations, the present heuristic method leads to a high cognitive load and experimental cost, and the heuristic is difficult. Therefore, we propose a two-stage heuristic method. Subsequently, we use this method to decompose the interaction task into two stages: modalities and interactive operations. A clearer and more specific reference for multimodal selection is provided for the interaction design phase, based on the two dimensions of modality and task. This can reduce the heuristic cost and difficulty of users in completing tasks in multimodal interaction scenarios. Finally, the proposed virtual modeling platform which is used for experimental verification, and the results shows that, compared with traditional modeling, the interactive modeling method built according to the results of modal interaction in this study can better satisfy users in terms of emotional experience. In the index evaluation, high scores are achieved, with an average score of 5 points (1 and 7 are the lowest and highest scores of the evaluation index, respectively), and the large-area distribution of high scores also shows a good user experience. To a certain extent, this method improves the interaction mode of the previous 3D modeling.

INFORMATION CHAOS ON THE INTERNET – PERCEPTION IN RELATION TO THE AGE OF USERS

The rapid development of the Internet as a dominant medium in the field of information brought with it several novelties, caused by the nature of digital networked media. First and foremost is the hyperproduction of information as a result of each user’s free creation of content, but also the major problem of orientation in a narratively disconnected hyperspace and the proliferation of a large number of fake news. All of these changes resulted in the phenomenon of information chaos, or users’ disorientation in the Internet environment. In order to adapt to the new environment, users must learn a variety of new skills, which is much easier for younger generations than for older generations. The aim of the study is to determine to what extent users use the Internet for the purpose of information and in which ways they perceive information chaos. The goal is also to determine if there are any differences in the subjective feeling of disorientation on the Internet between younger and older users. The basic working hypothesis is that Internet users use the Internet as their primary source of information every day and are aware of information chaos on this medium, and that older users experience information chaos to a greater extent than younger users. The sample consists of 120 people divided into two groups: those aged 15 to 35 and those aged 45 and up. The data was collected using a specially designed questionnaire distributed via the Google Forms application, and the results were analyzed using descriptive and comparative statistics in the SPSS 24.0 program. The findings show that the respondents use the Internet for information on a daily basis, but certain differences in perception of the Internet chaos were noticed between age groups. Besides, younger respondents use the Internet as primary source of information, whereas older respondents use the Internet as a secondary source of information, that is as a supplement to other media.

Towards a post-democratic era? Moral education against new forms of authoritarianism

ABSTRACT Educating in a convulsed political context demands a detailed analysis of the new circumstances of our times, especially the current democracy crisis. According to the latest reports issued by international evaluation organisations, one of the greatest challenges for democratic citizenship is the emergence and rise of authoritarianism within the framework of the so-called post-democracy, and also in the manifestations known as illiberal democracy. Moral and civic education has to respond to this challenge. With this in mind, we propose revitalising a participative and deliberative democracy model, rethinking the basic values in citizens' education, redefining the relation between what is public and what is private, and empowering sensitivity and free creation in the new maker culture.

Keharusan Etis Keberadaan Universum

The essence of the universe is finite, not eternal. So is also everything in it.Therefore, the state is created matter. Humans as creatures that inhabitthe earth have characteristics that are not owned by other inhabitantsof the earth such as animals and plants. Man has consciousness andhigher than that, he has self-awareness. Until now it is still believed byscientists, that this universe has no consciousness and much less self-awareness. Therefore, it is quite possible that man is not a special productof this universe. Because matter without consciousness cannot possiblyproduce conscious beings. The effect cannot be higher than the cause.Thus, we presume there is a rational, eternal cause who is the creator ofthe world and everything in it, including humans. God is the creator ofthe universe and he created it out of love with complete freedom. Becausethe universe is born of divine love, it is inse good and it is good that itexists. The ethical imperative of the existence of the universe is basedon God’s free will, which is based on His love for creating the world. Theuniverse is not divine. He is different from God. He exists not becauseof the process of emanation but the result of God’s free creation.

Subjective Experiences of At-Risk Children Living in a Foster-Care Village Who Participated in an Open Studio

The open studio art therapy model offers a space for free creation; in this space, the art therapist supports the participants’ art process. According to this model, the creative process is the central component of the therapeutic work. This qualitative study seeks to learn, through an analysis of interviews and artwork, about the subjective experiences of at-risk children living in a foster-care village who participated in an open studio. In addition, it seeks to identify changes in the artwork over time. This study involves a qualitative thematic analysis, while the analysis of visual data is based on the phenomenological approach to art therapy. The data include interviews and 82 artworks of five participants, aged 7–10 years. Five main themes emerged from the analysis of the visual and verbal data: (a) engaging in relationships; (b) moving along the continuum from basic, primary, art expressions (e.g., smearing, scribbling, etc.) to controlled expressions; (c) visibility, on a range between disclosure and concealment; (d) holding versus falling/instability; and (e) experiencing and expressions of change. The discussion expands on the themes in relation to key concepts in the field of psychodynamic psychotherapy and art therapy. It also examines the unique characteristics of this population in reference to empirical studies on developmental trauma and challenges of out-of-home placement. Finally, it discusses the study’s limitations and presents recommendations for further research.

Lost items and exposed shame – dreamcore’s inheritance and transcendence of liminal space and defamiliarization

ABSTRACT Dreamcore originates from a video (or image) form submitted on 21 April 2018, when an anonymous user posted a thread on 4chan’s paranormal section collecting images that would make people feel ‘uncomfortable', and another user’s comment under it gained the attention of the community. And it has been a new subculture that uses familiar scenes to make the audience nostalgic but uneasy, with two important characteristics: ‘Lost items’ and ‘exposed shame’. In contrast to the philosophical concept ‘sense of material’, the absolutely independent defamiliarization, or liminal space’s ‘neither … nor … ’, ‘lost items’ pursues the familiarity in strangeness without resorting to the expression of magical reality, or using ambiguity between the two to create a ‘either … or …’ atmosphere; Compared with modern urban planning based on the principle of ‘ecology’, ‘exposed shame’ reveals infrastructures that do not match the natural setting in the image, causing abruptness and embarrassment. Both point to the dreamcore’s playful ambiguity, thus not being governed by serious art and symbolising the original intention of free creation.

Dedekind and Wolffian Deductive Method

Dedekind’s methodology, in his classic booklet on the foundations of arithmetic, has been the topic of some debate. While some authors make it closely analogue to Hilbert’s early axiomatics, others emphasize its idiosyncratic features, most importantly the fact that no axioms are stated and its careful deductive structure apparently rests on definitions alone. In particular, the so-called Dedekind “axioms” of arithmetic are presented by him as “characteristic conditions” in the definition of the complex concept of a simply infinite system. Making sense of Dedekind’s method may be dependent on an analysis of the classical model of deductive science, as presented by authors from the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Studying the modern reconstructions of Euclidean geometry, we show that they did not presuppose deductive independence of the axioms from the definitions. Authors like Wolff elaborated a mathematics based on definitions, and the Wolffian model of deductive science shows significant coincidences with Dedekind’s method, despite the great differences in content and approach. Wolff had a conception of definitions as genetic, which bears some similarities with Kant’s idea of synthetic definitions: they are understood as positing the content of mathematical concepts and introducing thought objects (Gedankendinge) that are the objects of mathematics. The emphasis on the spontaneity of the understanding, which can be found in this philosophical tradition, can also be fruitfully related with Dedekind’s idea of the “free creation” of mathematical objects.

A Practical Study on the Cultivation of Creativity in Primary School Art Education

The cultivation of students' creativity in primary school art education is very important. In teaching, teachers need to choose appropriate teaching methods according to students' conditions, respect students' individual differences, arouse students' enthusiasm for free creation, and enhance students' creativity and imagination. Starting from the current problems of cultivating students' creativity in primary school art education, this paper briefly analyzes the practical research strategies for cultivating students' creativity in primary school art education.

Rupestres Dançantes: o radical do corpo em movimento intencional estético

Abstract: The text presents a critical analysis of the roots of dance from the perspective of historical and dialectical materialism, the formulations of Marx and Engels, and of the Marxist aesthetes who followed them, proposing a study of the concept, reason and purpose of dance for the human race. It approaches themes such as work as the founding category of the human being. It then discusses human body movement as free creation work, intentional body movements of work and the process of their transition into dance movements. Finally, based on studies on human manifestations developed on the aesthetic level, it shows how the human being arrived at dance as art.

The Presumption of a Creative Nature (Originality) of Copyright Objects

The paper is devoted to the doctrinal meaning and practical significance of the presumption of the creative nature (originality) of copyright objects. This presumption is not directly enshrined in Russian law, but it follows from the systemic interpretation of the rules dedicated to notion of the author. A citizen who created a work by his creative work is recognized as the author. The laws of many countries contain the presumption of originality of works, but its interpretations are diametrically different. At the present time, in the conditions of an increasingly accelerating and complicating civil turnover accompanied by the information revolution, legal and technical substantive approaches to the category of originality (as a synonym for creativity) as a common and only prerequisite for the protection of works by copyright and the continental copyright system have gradually begun to converge. At the same time, domestic judicial practice still unreasonably ignores the doctrine of substantial similarity of works based on the presumption of originality. The author proposes an authentic classification of disputes concerning the originality of works, the basis of which is the number of objects involved in the dispute.The author builds a coordinate system, the criterion of which is the degree of change of the original work: identical copying — non-identical copying — processing — free creation of another original work. At the same time, the author emphasizes that a copy, even significantly different from the original, does not cease to be a copy. In legal terms, identical and non-identical copying constitutes reproduction that requires the consent of the author or copyright holder of the original work. A necessary sign of processing is the purpose of the author of the changes to expand the possibilities of using the original work; processing also requires the consent of the author or copyright holder with respect to the original work. Non-identical copying and reworking should be distinguished from creating a new work using an unprotected content of the original authentic work.

Christ, Reality, and Freedom: Trinitarian Metaphysics as a Theology of Culture

This essay explores the possibility of a narrative theology of culture by drawing on the trinitarian metaphysics of Robert W. Jenson. Postliberal or narrative theologies have often been said to hinder the intercultural translation of the gospel by promoting the cultural forms of Western Christianity as the ideal, but I argue here that Jenson’s theology (enlisting some distinctively postliberal themes) creates a critical distance between the church and Christian civilization, while also enabling the free creation and expression of diverse cultural expressions of the gospel. The first section of the paper is a critical project, using a trinitarian metaphysics to rule out any reduction of Christian culture to its Western expressions. Since the community of the Trinity is the one cultural form to which God’s people strive, and because the church’s full participation in this community is eschatological, Christian cultural expression cannot be reduced to one particular cultural form. This creates distance between the church and the world, preventing a strict identification of Christianity with Western culture. The second part of the paper then offers a constructive project, demonstrating how a trinitarian understanding of creaturely freedom enables the development of human culture. By grounding creation’s freedom in the freedom of the triune persons, a trinitarian metaphysics enables the free and loving development of creation in an infinite number of ways. In doing so, Jenson’s metaphysics does not compromise the diversity of human cultures, but instead allows human cultures to flourish in their endless variety.

Sklo je mým drahokamem

Jaroslav Kodejš senior (* September 9, 1938) belongs to the pioneers of Czech designer jewellery with the use of glass. For more than 50 years, he has been ranked among the world‘s recognized artists in this field, and his works are represented in the world‘s best public and private collections. He based his work on the traditional production of glass jewellery components from wound glass over atorch. He experienced his first successes at domestic and international exhibitions in the mid-1960s. From the position of designer for the Jablonec jewellery industry, he moved only to his own free creation since the end of the 1960s. Since then he has created for example dozens pieces of jewellery, drawings and also paintings. He was successful thanks to his own diligence and creativity, unceasing life optimism and enthusiasm. In the individual stages of his jewellery work, he almost always used coiled or fused glass in combination with silver and gold. He always respected glass in its unique properties, which he supported with the morphology of jewellery, which he still deals with despite his age.

Freedom of Network Society in a Social Security Space

The purpose of this article is to reflect on what freedom of speech in the web is. In the age of universal freedom of access to the Internet, controversy is growing between supporters of full freedom and supporters of legal restrictions on the use of global Internet resources. Should the Internet be the space of unlimited freedom? Surprisingly enough, the answer to this question is not obvious, although intuitively one would like to answer in the affirmative. By definition, the Internet is an egalitarian tool of communication, a space for free creation and flow of content, for which the only limit is technology and human imagination, whose boundaries cannot be determined. The global network is a field completely unregulated and not bound by any rules. This situation is slowly changing and legislators and courts are beginning to set the boundaries of online proceedings. People posting content on the Internet must do so with precaution so as not to violate the limits of freedom of speech, especially in the field of broadly understood public security, crime, morality, public order, other people’s personal rights, and confidential information.

Possibilities and Limitations in Shaping Customized Residential Interiors

Own, satisfying home is one of the things that having in a person’s lifetime is extremely important because it ensures meeting basic needs. Nowadays, in the era of increasingly stronger privatization and individualization of social life, paying attention to the individual and not universalistic user is becoming an important planning task. The Polish multi-family housing stock mostly comes from the ‘70s and ‘80s, when the construction was based on a large-panel system – hostile, rigid and heavily standardized. At present, the buildings are erected in technologies based on modern materials and technologies, but the layout and size of the residential units are not much different from those erected 40 years ago. The paper is an attempt to draw attention to the issue of shaping residential interiors tailored to the individual user. An attempt to analyze the possibilities or lack thereof for the free creation of residential interiors, The aim of the research is to analyze the possibilities of spatial creation of individualized residential interior layouts, both in existing multi-family residential stock – a project in adapted space, and in a model space (cube 6 x 6 x 6 meters). The research material comes from both: the design classes conducted by the author of the article and the housing stock that has been inventoried by her. The research method is a comparison of existing flats and ideological systems, designed by the students of the Faculty of Architecture of the Silesian University of Technology, within the design classes based on the author’s own didactic program. The interior utility program includes residential functions – daily rest, sleeping, personal hygiene, preparation and consumption of meals, storage and implementation of hobbies. In principle, the residential interior is intended for two users: two people, or a person plus a pet, taking into account the individual needs of each co-resident. The designed residential interiors, apart from utilitarian solutions, are characterized by aesthetic and functional solutions related to the selected interests (hobby) of the inhabitants. Basing on the analysis of selected conceptual designs and comparing them with existing residential layouts, conclusions will be drawn about the occurrence of possibilities and limitations in shaping individualized residential spaces. It is important to determine – what are the restrictions on adaptations, in connection with the existence of a specific structural and installation system, the arrangement of windows on the facade, etc., which lead to the impoverishment of the arrangement possibilities and adaptation of the interior for a defined user. The presented projects will also show a different view on the way housing is shaped, which breaks the patterns existing in public awareness. The main conclusions from the research may be useful in subsequent development projects. They can be a clue to discuss the existing restrictions on residential interiors located in multi-family buildings, whose shape is governed by: building regulations, rigid building structure and its equipment with technical installations and devices, as well as the development policy focused on maximum investment return.

Philosophie et théologie dans le cartésianisme : la théorie cartésienne de la création des vérités éternelles et sa postérité

This article examines Descartes’ theory of the free creation of eternal truths, showing the theological implications of its underlying philosophical principles. The author ponders the way in which Descartes treats certain topics that pertain to natural theology (God’s dignity and power, the equivocity between the finite and the infinite), as well as the Christological tension that runs through his theory. The theological echoes of this theory are then assessed, looking at thinkers after Descartes as well as the minores, with a focus on two theological themes: the recovery of univocity, and some of the contours of the kind of Christology Descartes’ theory authorizes. The aim of the article, by showing the fruitfulness of an approach that places modern philosophy and theology in conversation, is to ask how a theological reading of Descartes and Cartesian thought may help renew its study.
