Information Literacy: Utilization of Taman Budaya and Museum UPT Towards Motivation for Learning History

Information literacy learning is very important for teachers and students to improve understanding and skills related to digital media. Learning activities and motivation become triggers for certain behaviors and attitudes and giving a resistance orientation will lead to persistence and not giving up easily getting results. This research introduces museums to students as a learning resource and reference. This type of research is qualitative. The public is invited to participate in interviews and observations, providing information, opinions and perceptions to understand social phenomena from one's point of view. The results show the extent to which management of cultural parks and museums encourages the use of information technology to attract visitors to educational institutions. Providing detailed information about museum collections and exhibits related to historical themes can help curators of cultural parks and museums motivate students to learn more. This is useful for engineering practitioners because it assists the public in exploring museum collections through newspapers, brochures, magazines, websites of cultural parks and museums, as well as online social media.

Fortune and Misfortune on the Stage: Ângela de Azevedo’s Marian Comedia in the Classroom and Beyond

Abstract: Ângela de Azevedo’s late seventeenth-century Dicha y desdicha del juego y devoción a la Virgen has received less performance-related attention than the writer’s other two extant works. This comedia, however, has great potential both for use in the classroom and for performance onstage. The work possesses appealing commonalities with El muerto disimulado from a plot perspective and can additionally serve as a didactic bridge to early-modern religious ideas. Asking students to consider Dicha y desdicha as a performed piece opens the door for an interdisciplinary approach and to examine historical themes as varied and rich as the changing role of nobility, sumptuary law, religious iconography, and the role of women as artists and creators. This article focuses on representations of class distinctions and religious iconography, adopting a speculative and forward-facing approach. It outlines what my own approach will be to teaching this play in an upcoming course.

Centring animal experience through comics-based research: The case of Pavlov’s dogs 

The focus of this article is the collaborative creation of Pavlov and the Kingdom of Dogs, a graphic nonfiction novel aimed at highlighting the lives of dogs experimented upon by Ivan Pavlov in late 19th and early 20th-century Russia. The novel delves into the intricate human-canine relationships within the context of St. Petersburg’s scientific, cultural, and political landscape. The collaboration between a researcher, a professional illustrator, and a script editor aimed to challenge anthropocentric narratives prevalent in historical representations of Pavlov and experimental science. Rooted in animal studies and psychology, this project explores the potential of arts-based methods to centre animals and their relationships within historical contexts. It aims to deepen depictions of animal experiences and agency while bridging the gap between human-animal studies and psychology, where attention to animal lives in research settings remains limited. By focusing on Pavlov’s experiments, the project seeks to redefine experimental animals as active historical subjects, contributing to broader discussions on human-animal relationships and ethical responsibilities. The article delineates the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of the graphic novel, provides insights into the comics-based research process, and discusses the affordances and challenges of this approach. It concludes by reflecting on the potential of comics-based research to engage both academic and public audiences, ultimately advocating for a deeper understanding of human-animal entanglements and their implications in contemporary society.

Injury and Value

Abstract This essay explores two historical subjects, Catharina, an enslaved woman living and working in eighteenth-century New Orleans, and Ruth, a free field laborer in post-emancipation Barbados. Through a careful reading of their different but overlapping legal petitions against the planters who worked to control their labor, this essay seeks to distill a shared battle around Black mothering and to reconsider what it means to mother in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Atlantic world, respectively. In so doing, this essay contributes to scholarship that analyzes reproductive racial slavery’s afterlife, particularly how slavery’s matrilineal principle shaped the meaning of Black motherhood in bondage and in freedom. Exploring violent confrontations with empire in moments of profound change, the stories of Catharina and Ruth each offer new definitions of labor and value and hint at how Black women theorized a world beyond racial capitalism.

Three Trajectories in Nineteenth-Century Anglican Biblical Interpretation: From Narrow to Broad

Abstract Contemporary studies of Anglican biblical interpretation in the nineteenth century are scant. Those that do exist tend to paint the biblical interpretation of the period as unidimensional and flat. This paper highlights diverse ways the Bible was interpreted by Anglicans in the nineteenth century by looking at the writings of Charles Simeon, Benjamin Jowett, and Christina Rossetti. Each has interesting and distinct ways of approaching the Bible. The paper analyzes their interpretive practices before tracing them to the present and drawing out significant historical themes in each.

Water in Afghanistan: a modern history

AbstractThis paper discusses water in Afghanistan from the late nineteenth century through the early twenty-first century. This broad chronology is periodized using the historical themes of colonialism, nationalism, international developmentalism, and global warfare. Modern hydraulic technology arrived in the domestic architecture of Kabuli state elites beginning in the 1860s and accelerating greatly in the 1890s. The first decades of the twentieth were marked by continuing developments regarding palatial hydrology (pools, fountains, etc.) and new forms of modern hydraulic engineering (piped water, dams and bridges) primarily in and around Kabul involving the Kabul river and its tributaries. The middle decades of the twentieth century involved substantial engagement of rivers throughout country under the various ideological and material regimes of international development sponsored by the US, USSR and a number of other global actors and sanctioned by local political elites who became increasingly dependent on the global system. The decades surrounding the year 2000 have been marked by intense and sustained overt and covert global warfare. The effects of war on the environment of Afghanistan from the perspective of Human Rights, particularly Afghan Peoples’ Rights to Water, constitute the final section of the paper.

Энергия эстетического переживания

<p>The article is devoted to the comparison of classical and modern understanding of the subject of aesthetics. During the theoretical self-definition of aesthetics in the system of philosophy (Baumgarten, Kant) it was understood as a bridge uniting empiricism of individual sensuality with universality of rational knowledge, as an experience of unity of sensual and supersensual activity of aesthetic consciousness of the subject. Such an interpretation corresponded to the ideal of a whole person in the unity of reason, feeling, spirit, will, and imagination. Contemporary aesthetics defines its subject matter as individual sensual experience, removing from it the basis of the cultural subject's self-consciousness of value. The central problem of the article is a characteristic of aesthetic experience as a procedural form of living through the value and meaningful depth of the experienced aesthetic feeling. Experiencing is treated as an emotional and intellectual process, producing inner work of comprehension of the feeling of staying in the self-relation of the cultural-historical subject with the world. The inner energy of aesthetic experience is born through the creative work of intuition and imagination, creating the likeness of a work of art, but not materialised in the language of art, but staying in the continuing state of internal residence of the imaginary image. The aesthetic experience expands the threshold of human sensibility and reveals the dimension of each phenomenon of reality in such a way that the aesthetic object is more than the object, and the subject more than the empirical individual. This is the essence of the aesthetic, indicating the difference between the aesthetic sense and the mere sensual response of individual consciousness to contact with an object. The subject of aesthetic experience is the subject of a world-relationship, experiencing the world differently in images of chaos or harmony, eternity or the mutability of time of being. Space and time in the axiosphere of culture become subjectivized and are experienced as sensual and semantic phenomena included in the aesthetic thesaurus of culture. In his analysis of the sublime, Kant spoke of the special creative energy of the aesthetic feeling, giving it the depth and duration of the subject's state of mind. Due to the inner tension of the interaction of feelings and meanings, aesthetic experience evokes a vivid sensual and supersensual response of man to his belonging to being.  It extends the range of emotional and intellectual faculties of consciousness, which remains as the memory of aesthetic experience, multiplying the possibilities of future experiences. Aesthetic experience expresses the process of synergy between sensuality and the existential meanings of the historical subject's existential world. The final conclusion of the article is that in aesthetic experience based on a complex set of sensual and supersensual transformations of aesthetic existence of man in the world, sensual experience is only one of the components, which convinces the need for modern research to address the totality of the contents of aesthetics, especially its axiological aspects.</p>

Human machine interactions: from past to future- a systematic literature review

Purpose This paper aims to provide insight into the evolving relationship between humans and machines, understanding its multifaceted impact on our lifestyle and landscape in the past as well as in the present, with implications for the near future. It uses bibliometric analysis combined with a systematic literature review to identify themes, trace historical developments and offer a direction for future human–machine interactions (HMIs). Design/methodology/approach To provide thorough coverage of publications from the previous four decades, the first section presents a text-based cluster bibliometric analysis based on 305 articles from 2,293 initial papers in the Scopus and Web of Science databases produced between 1984 and 2022. The authors used VOS viewer software to identify the most prominent themes through cluster identification. This paper presents a systematic literature review of 63 qualified papers using the PRISMA framework. Findings Next, the systematic literature review and bibliometric analysis revealed four major historical themes and future directions. The results highlight four major research themes for the future: from Taylorism to advanced technologies; machine learning and innovation; Industry 4.0, Society 5.0 and cyber–physical system; and psychology and emotions. Research limitations/implications There is growing anxiety among humankind that in the future, machines will overtake humans to replace them in various roles. The current study investigates the evolution of HMIs from their historical roots to Society 5.0, which is understood to be a human-centred society. It balances economic advancement with the resolution of social problems through a system that radically integrates cyberspace and physical space. This paper contributes to research and current limited knowledge by identifying relevant themes and offering scope for future research directions. A close look at the analysis posits that humans and machines complement each other in various roles. Machines reduce the mechanical work of human beings, bringing the elements of humanism and compassion to mechanical tasks. However, in the future, smart innovations may yield machines with unmatched dexterity and capability unthinkable today. Originality/value This paper attempts to explore the ambiguous and dynamic relationships between humans and machines. The present study combines systematic review and bibliometric analysis to identify prominent trends and themes. This provides a more robust and systematic encapsulation of this evolution and interaction, from Taylorism to Society 5.0. The principles of Taylorism are extended and redefined in the context of HMIs, especially advanced technologies.

Soviet Federal Project and the Collisions of Nation Building in the 1920-1930s

The author examines the collisions of the Soviet nation-building which are actively debated in modern historiography. The source base for the research is the published materials, as well as the archival documents of the Russian State Archive of Socio-Political History and the Archive of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan. There are analyzed some specific historical subjects and the contribution of modern historiography to the understanding of the current problems and the formulation of new ideas and approaches to the analysis of the designated set of issues including the tools of Soviet socio-political engineering, the role and significance of ethnopolitical elites in the creation of the USSR as a complex hierarchical structure. It is concluded that the contradictions in the implementation of ethnonational policy were directly related to the formation of the Soviet federation, which became a concession to the ethnopolitical movements of the early XX century; and managing diversity was the central task of the state as an alternative to previous political systems for culturally complex societies.

FROM THE HISTORY OF IMPLEMENTATION OF THE DISCIPLINE «THE HISTORY OF UKRAINE» IN UNIVERSITIES OF THE USSR IN THE 1930S: METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT

The article examines the evolution of Soviet state policy in the field of higher historical education in the Ukrainian SSR in the 1930s on the basis of a previously unpublished archival document introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. On the basis of archival and published sources, the political, social and methodological conditions for the introduction of the discipline “History of Ukraine” are presented in the higher school of the Ukrainian SSR. The influence of the dynamics of the political development of the state on the theory and practice of studying the history of Ukraine is demonstrated. The ideological, political and methodological reasons that led to the introduction of the history of Ukraine as a special course are analyzed. The historical subjects of the discipline «The History of Ukraine” were primarily designed to illustrate the political, social and economic phenomena of the past for the benefit of the current modern events of the young socialist state. The main attention is paid to the consideration and analysis of the methodical aspect of the implemented discipline. The process of restoration of traditional forms and methods of teaching the historical discipline in universities was followed, which was accompanied by an increase in the role of the teacher in the educational process. The measures of the party-state leadership aimed at introducing the discipline «The History of Ukraine” in higher historical education are traced. It is noted that as a result of the long-term work of a large team of scientists, a curriculum was developed, which became a historical narrative in which the official position of the authorities on the main issues of national history was recorded, and at the same time an official reference point for scientists, teachers, educators, political workers, cultural figures. The documentary supplement contains the program on the history of Ukraine for the first year of teachers’ institutes for the summer session of 1938, the level of representativeness and archeographic elaboration of which is quite high, which in total significantly increases the scientific level of the factual basis of the conducted research.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF DOCUMENTARIES IN TEACHING PEDAGOGY IN HISTORY

Documentation in history plays a crucial role in preserving evidence and providing valuable information for future generations. In the context of documentaries, modern technology is utilized to present historical accounts with visual effects, offering undergraduate students a vivid depiction of the past. These documentaries serve as comprehensive and educational resources for students, providing them with a deeper understanding of historical events. Visuals are particularly effective in transporting individuals to different time periods and aiding their comprehension of complex conditions and issues. In some cases, explanations or theoretical concepts may be challenging to grasp or lead to confusion. This research employs quantitative data, longitudinal analysis, and an exploratory methodology to examine the use of technology in presenting visuals and its efficacy among undergraduate students from various academic streams who have an interest in history. Documentary videos, biopics, series, and films serve as mediums to help students comprehend historical topics, and their effectiveness can be assessed through surveys.

Hubungan antara Motivasi dan Sikap dengan Penguasaan Murid dalam Mata Pelajaran Sejarah Sekolah Rendah

Motivation is one of the key factors in helping students master a subject. Nevertheless, students were described as unmotivated and uninterested in History teaching and learning sessions. Thus, the study aims to identify the level of motivation and attitude of students in history subjects, as well as their relationship to the mastery of the students in this subject. The study uses questionnaires as instruments of study distributed face-to-face. 196 respondents were selected by random sample consisting of six-year-olds in several schools in Putrajaya Federal Territory. Results from data analysis carried out through SPSS software report that there are five main constructs: intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, positive attitude, negative attitude and student mastery in History subjects. Study revenues report that the level of motivation of students is at the middle level high while the levels of attitude of students in these subjects are at the low middle level. The Pearson correlation test found that there was a significant relationship between motivation and attitude with the mastery of students in history subjects. This means that the motivation and attitude of the student plays an important role in mastering the subject of History. It's seen to help change the negative student's stigma about such historical subjects as boring and centered teachers. In this connection, the implications of this study suggest that the parties involved give emphasis to the instructive motivation and extrinsic motivation in the pupils so that a positive attitude can be nurtured further increase their level of mastery in the History subjects.

What keeps historical theme park visitors coming? Research based on expectation confirmation theory.

Culture is one of the most important factors in attracting tourists and influencing the tourist experience. In China, "theme park" is a new field of tourism research, an excellent theme park can not only drive the development of a city's tourism industry, but also help it better publicize its history and culture. The article takes Kaifeng, China as the background, and selects the Song Dynasty historical and cultural theme park, which was established based on the traditional ink painting Qingming Riverside Drawing, as an example, to study the factors affecting tourists' travel experience in historical and cultural theme parks, and based on which it explores the reasons for the formation of tourists' satisfaction and post-trip behavioral intentions, to provide references and suggestions for the development of cultural theme parks from the point of view of travel experience. Based on the expectation confirmation theory, this essay introduces five constructs, namely, expectation (tourism motivation), performance (service quality), confirmation (tourism experience), satisfaction, and post-trip behavior intention, to construct a model of the factors influencing tourists' satisfaction by tourism experience in historical theme parks and analyze the intrinsic correlation among the factors within the model. It is found that tourists' tourism experience is mainly affected by tourism motivation and service quality, satisfaction and post-trip behavior intention are jointly determined by the above three. According to the research results, this study believes that tourism motivation, service quality, and tourism experience should be the focus of attention of the current tourist destinations, therefore, focusing on tourists' motivation to optimize the quality of service, helping tourists to enhance the sense of tourism experience, and improving based on the above focuses is of great significance to promote the development of historical and cultural theme parks.

Media and its dominance in contemporary Iraqi painting

The current study deals with the topic of the effectiveness of narrated, visual, and printed media as documents and data conveying the culture and knowledge of people, as well as a discursive structure with sensory authority that affected the nature of the artistic experience through the dynamic interaction between the artist’s creative intentions and his experience, in addition to the intellectual and historical influences resulting from the power of the medium as an effective tool in directing the artist’s vision The research was divided into four chapters, first chapter devoted to the research problem, which ended with the following question: What are the areas of media structure and how do they dominated on the visual surface appearances? The second chapter, it included two sections, the first section entitled Mediality of language/versus the oral and the copied, while the second section was entitled Mediality of the Image/versus the audio-visual. The third chapter contained the research procedures represented by the method, community, research tool, and analysis of the research sample which included three models. The fourth chapter included the results and conclusions. The following are some of the results:   1-The effectiveness of the medium emerged as a symbolic and ideological material that enhances the concept of cultural identity through artists adopting it. 2-The media appeared as a reference that carries data from which the artist draws his cultural and historical topics, as well as daily events.

ANALYSIS OF CHANGES IN SENSORY PREFERENCES OF TOURISTS UNDER MARTIAL LAW

The study of changes in sensory preferences of tourists under martial law is important both for understanding the impact of military conflicts on people's psychology and behaviour, and for developing strategies for managing the tourism industry in conditions of instability and crisis. The aim of the study is to analyse the changes in tourists' sensory preferences due to the effects of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Two sociological surveys were used to analyse and draw conclusions on the changes in the sensory preferences of tourists in connection with the large-scale invasion of Russia. The first survey was conducted in November-December 2021 and January 2022, the second in September and October 2023, which was a continuation of the first. A chi-squared test was calculated to confirm the hypothesis of a difference in the answers given by respondents before and during the war. Confirmation of the hypothesis allowed to prove that when developing tourism products, companies should take into account changes in the sensory preferences of tourists. The study showed significant changes in the choice of tourist options by travellers under the influence of sensory sensations that were formed during the Russian-Ukrainian war. The cost of travel has become more important, cultural and walking tourism has lost popularity, while extreme and gastronomic tourism has gained popularity. Aromas and tastes have a greater impact on travellers' associative memory, while visual impressions remain important, with historical themes becoming more popular. It was concluded that the sensory preferences and emotional reactions of travellers differ significantly by age. Younger respondents (under 16 years old) prefer food and music the most, while the older group (over 50 years old) prefers cuisine, tastes and appearance. It is clear that tourism businesses need to adjust their services and marketing strategies to take into account these age-specific characteristics and differences in tourists' reactions to sensory stimuli. Tourism businesses can use the findings of this study to adapt their marketing strategies and tourist offerings to the changing sensory preferences and needs of tourists caused by the military conflict. This will allow them to attract and retain customers even in times of insecurity, instability and crisis.

Kobiety w cyfrowych strumieniach dziejów. Tematyka kobieca na polskich kanałach historycznych portalu YouTube

In this article, the authors confront the thesis found in historical discourse about the dominance of male figures in historical narratives present in the public sphere. In order to do so, they analyse the new research field that is the social networking site YouTube and the most popular channels on historical topics contained therein. The main research question is whether women are marginalised in the narratives contained in the sources discussed, in which contexts they appear and what is the reception of the films in which they appear. In addition, the authors look at the question of the form of historical narratives. The study combines quantitative methods (descriptive statistics, correspondence analysis) as well as qualitative methods (Northrop Frye’s typology of story motifs. For this purpose, 551 films were analysed, which were then annotated using seven groups of tags corresponding to the content of the sources ‑ concerning the func-tioning of female characters and the subject matter of the films. As a result of the analyses carried out, it was observed that the thesis of the absolute dominance of male characters in historical narratives does not fully hold true under the conditions of Web 2.0 sources in terms of quantity, while in terms of content it cannot be accepted unreservedly in the context of the very diverse use of female themes in social media resources.

Leonard Rowntree, Louis Wilson, Fielding Garrison, and the origins of teaching medical history at the Mayo Clinic

A visiting surgeon described his disappointment with an aspect of the Mayo Clinic in 1914, stating that there was “the almost lack of anything that could be dignified by the term ‘lecture.’” One year later, the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research was founded. By 1917, the foundation declared history of medicine a graduate-level subject, and history of medicine questions were included in final oral examinations. In 1920 and 1921, lectures were given on historical topics; however, these lectures petered out, and there were no historical lectures in the official curriculum of 1923 or 1924. Enter Leonard Rowntree, who in 1926 proposed a lecture series on the history of medicine. Rowntree wrote to Fielding Garrison in early 1927 to ask for assistance selecting speakers. The two men corresponded and developed a list of eminent medical historians to invite, including Sir Charles Ballance, William Welch, and Garrison himself. These lectures served to enrich the greater Midwestern medical community as well thanks to Louis Wilson. Then head of the Mayo Foundation, Wilson wrote to nearby institutions to create a lecture circuit for speakers who traveled to the Mayo Clinic. Ultimately, the lectures were published as a book in 1933.

The archive’s order. Ernst Simon’s notes on Heinrich Heine

ABSTRACT This article focuses on unpublished and published materials in the archive of Ernst Akiba Simon (1899–1988) at the National Library of Israel to discuss the émigré scholar’s writing on Heinrich Heine. The article asks, if and how the archive can help to understand Simon’s way of reading and writing. His work on Heine is part of a larger cluster of interconnected texts on literary and political, contemporary as well historical topics. The digital reproduction of Simon’s archive allows to trace these intertextual, dialogic characteristics of Simon’s writing and to explore them as manifestations of his thoughts on Jewish belonging.
