‘Draw yourself and write your name’: Material-discursive agency of names and drawings in early childhood

A documented transcript and a series of still images from two spontaneous, incidental and intra-active pedagogical encounters in a preschool are the focus and the source of this article. A turning over of data generated through a piece of doctoral research that explored intra-active learning as a phenomenon makes visible the agency of names and drawings in collaborative and intra-active literacy ‘becomings’. These are the workings of a diffractive data analysis. Already strong affective connections between the children give buoyancy to the playful recitation of written names on a pile of pages. Familiar Grade R (reception year) activities take flight and diffract with age, race and gender to produce new knowledge about ‘what matters’ in early childhood. There are both inward and outward flows between the micro and the macro worlds of ‘becoming reader’ and ‘becoming learner’ as names move in between the sounds of belonging and recognition (the children's and their classmates’ names), and the pull of identifiable shapes and letters, words and meaning. The importance of drawing as meaning-making is affirmed but exceeded as an experimental performativity spills over into further exploration that was shared and extended with a friend. The analysis moves between and among the conceptual, real and virtual through reflective and diffractive insights. The researcher notices patterns of sameness and difference in the playful literacy and drawing events performed by the children with their lively classroom environment. Reconceptualizing the material products of learning as lively co-producers of knowledge with their authors requires a reconceptualizing of the human and a refiguring of the child as learner. Making the ‘child’ visible in posthumanist research means recognizing the inseparability of the learner from the learning and the temporal, material and spatial realities that produce it, and noticing the lively entanglements of names and drawings and what they do.

Bringing Intersectionality into International Management Research: The Case of Language and Gender

In this panel symposium, we argue for the need to study language in international management from an intersectionality perspective. The purpose of this panel is to engage a group of panelists in a formal, moderated, interactive discussion of (1) the relationship between “language” and “gender” identities and effects on individual and organizational processes; (2) the implications of ignoring the role of gender in current language research; (3) the importance of drawing from intersectionality in IM research; and (4) how the combined effects of language and gender can be measured.

Publishing in the academy: An arts-based, metaphorical reflection towards self-care

Publishing in the academy is a high-stakes activity often used to measure academic staff progress and inform promotion. Many universities have increased pressure on academics, even at the earliest stages of their careers, to publish in high-ranking journals resulting in increased stress and uncertainty. The authors of this paper are members of a writing group in an Australian regional university, established to support each other towards success in quality research and publishing. Over the 2020–2021 summer semester, six members of the group decided to reflect on their experiences, emotions and outcomes throughout the writing process by participating in four reflective arts-based activities. Theoretical frameworks of reflection and metaphor were used to share findings. Strong evidence of having to grapple with meeting university expectations in tension with personal goals and passions was ever-present. The importance of drawing on both personal resources and significant others to manage these tensions through self-care practices was also evident. Implications resulting from this research include recognising the pressures placed on academics to publish only in specifically ranked journals. Overall, the arts-based reflection was critical in uncovering deeper feelings about the pressures of publishing and supporting higher education employees’ well-being and self-care during the writing process.

Designing biomimetic robots: iterative development of an integrated technology design curriculum

In most middle schools, learning is segregated by discipline. Yet interdisciplinary approaches have been shown to cultivate creative thinking, support problem solving, and develop interest while supporting knowledge gains (NAE & NRC in STEM Integration in K-12 Education: Status, Prospects, and an Agenda for Research. National Academies Press, Washington, 2014). The Designing Biomimetic Robots project emphasizes problem-based learning to integrate engineering, science, and computational thinking (CT). During a 3 to 4-week unit, students study the natural world to learn how animals accomplish different tasks, then design a robot inspired by what they learned. The project engages students in science, engineering, and CT practices. Over the course of a 3-year project, we used a design-based research approach to: (1) identify and describe strategies and challenges that emerge from integrated curriculum design, (2) explicate how a balance of integrated disciplines can provide opportunities for student participation in science, engineering, and CT practices, and (3) explore how a technology design task can support students’ participation in integrated learning. Data from three focal groups (one from each year of the project) suggest that a focused design task, supported by explicit and targeted supports for science, CT, and engineering practices, led to a student technology design process that was driven by disciplinary understanding. This work highlights the importance of drawing out and prioritizing alignments between disciplines (Barber in Educ Des, 2(8), 2015), to enable integrated learning. Additionally, this work demonstrates how a technology design task can support student learning across disciplines, and how engaging in CT practices can further help students draw these connections.

A contemporary pedagogy of drawing

ABSTRACT This article reviews 20 years of attitudes to drawing pedagogy and looks forward with a studioful of post-pandemic optimism. It reiterates the importance of drawing in art schools as the most direct and economic means of nurturing our intelligence of seeing. Throughout the period, neoliberal policies directing the UK higher education curricula towards market-oriented criteria of success have eroded the foundation of a visual arts pedagogy: the exploration of the perceptual and its communication through visual language; educative activities of wider import than market concerns. An articulacy in drawing – visualcy – is fundamental to human culture, let alone preparation for professional practice in the visual arts and design disciplines. A remedial pedagogy is proposed, structured upon the two fundamental theoretical bases of visual perception and visual communication, illustrated with students’ drawings and the author’s efforts to practise what he preaches.

"Viver no limite": meninas e meninos afro-colombianos em tempos de guerra: um estudo etnográfico na fronteira entre Colômbia e Equador

Nos últimos anos, a escalada de violência na Colômbia desencadeada por grupos armados e cartéis do narcotráfico, afetou meninas e meninos afro-colombianos, modificando seus saberes e deslocamentos rotineiros. Neste artigo analiso as representações de meninas e meninos em tempos de guerra, e enfatizo a importância do desenho no trabalho etnográfico para ampliar a compreensão da experiencia traumática do deslocamento forçado, confinamentos espaciais e violências que vive a infância afro-colombiana na fronteira entre a Colômbia e o Equador. Argumento que conhecer as representações que meninas e meninos elaboram de seus espaços, cotidianos e trajetórias, permitiria entender a complexidade de seus testemunhos em torno da guerra e, portanto, os sentidos subjacentes a seus projetos de vida no presente-futuro.

O uso de desenhos como técnica projetiva em odontopediatria

The dental environment can be considered a stressor for children, and can trigger unwanted behaviors. Pediatric Dentistry is a specialty that requires professionals to know preventive measures and restorative skills to perform dental treatment in children or adolescents. In addition, it is especially important that the professional is concerned with the child’s feelings and reactions, allowing the pediatric dentist to identify situations that may generate stress for the patient during the care, and manage the presented behaviors. Recent studies have measured children’s reactions and feelings during dental treatments using projective techniques. Given the importance of drawing to identify children’s emotions, the objective of this study was to search the literature about the use of drawings as a projective technique in Pediatric Dentistry. Therefore, projective techniques, with an emphasis on drawing, have proved to be an effective instrument to be used in clinical practice to better understand the reactions presented by children during dental care and their relationship with dentists. Thus, avoiding unexpected situations in the office and allowing greater chances of obtaining a positive return from the patient.

Re-imagining Syria

Debates on Syria’s reconstruction have already started to emerge, often concomitant with new waves of violence, re-destruction and social exclusion. These debates are shaped by the elite and the powerful and sometimes by local architects, but in most cases their visions and projects fail to engage with ordinary Syrians, neglecting their struggle, suffering, aspirations and hopes for the future of Syria. Given this neglect, this paper brings the voices of Syrians to the debate on reconstruction and destruction of Syria in an attempt to link them to the fortunes of new architecture, and more broadly, the New Syria. The paper builds on a series of interviews with Syrians inside and outside Syria and emphasises on the importance of drawing on the voices of Syrians now, before major reconstruction has begun. With the lack of adequate voices of citizens, it is crucial to engage with Syrian communities to give them the right to be heard regarding their towns and cities at the time of imagining and re-imagining Syria and its future reconstruction. The paper shows how reconstruction could be destructive and exclusive, and how it could be used as a tool of punishment and violence. It provides insights and perspectives for intellectuals, policymakers, architects and activists interested in exploring alternatives to reconstruing forms of Syria without being narrowed to the formulation of ‘heritage’.

Destructive trends in contemporary armed conflicts and the overlooked aspect of intangible cultural heritage: A critical comparison of the protection of cultural heritage under IHL and the Islamic law of armed conflict

AbstractThe destruction of cultural heritage in armed conflicts has gained increasing political momentum and visibility over the last two decades. Syria, Iraq and Mali, among others, have witnessed the intentional destruction of their cultural heritage by non-State armed groups (NSAGs) that have invoked Islamic law and principles to legitimize their actions. The response of the international community has predominantly focused on the material aspect, to the detriment of the significant impact on the associated intangible manifestation of cultural heritage in local communities. This article argues that several Islamic legal rules and principles may, more adequately than international humanitarian law, safeguard the intangible dimension of cultural heritage in certain contemporary armed conflicts in Muslim contexts. It aims to demonstrate the importance of drawing from multiple legal traditions in order to enhance the protection of intangible cultural heritage in armed conflicts and to strengthen engagement with the relevant NSAGs.

A new insight into the methodology of cultural economics

ABSTRACT In the last decades, the topic regarding the relationship between culture and economics received increased interest. Given the fact that most of the research on this topic uses historical evidence and employs qualitative and mixed research methods, the present article aims at enriching its methodology by proposing a valuable quantitative instrument: a cultural matrix based on Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory. After analysing different computing methods of cultural distance, the most appropriate one seemed to be a weighted composite method. The applicability of the composite measures of cultural distance (unweighted and weighted) was compared in a model explaining Spanish migration flows to 35 OECD countries in the period 2005–2017. The results partially confirm the findings of other studies, indicating mixed results regarding the relationship between cultural distance and migration flows. The article provides new insights by recommending the use of weighted composite measures of cultural distance in economic analyses. In addition, the article highlights the importance of drawing appropriately each cultural dimension’ weights, given that inadequate estimations of cultural dimensions’ weights can significantly alter the research results and misrepresent the reality.

The new methodological approach to division of angle, with change of dimensionality and perspective for the sake of improved efficiency, faster insight to the essence of the process and problem-solving in real time and under outdoor conditions

The dividing of an angle at a certain proportion in an unambiguous way was shown by an analytical approach, taking into account the prospects and dimensionality [3]. Looking at the problem from the standpoint of antique principles and simultaneous contemporary approach to descriptive geometry proved to be necessary modernization of the tools used in solving of the practical construction problems by drawing. Importance of drawing on paper respective software tools used on PCs and tablets was emphasized. The fastest and most reliable solutions mostly were presented by simple models. The application of this methodological approach is seen in a system for monitoring remote objects [1, 2], since the method allows easier and faster transformations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division) of the values of the measured angular widths with respect to: the reference direction and the relative value of angle covers between multiple detected objects.

Cross-cultural legal convergence in translation: George Jamieson’s adoption of English legal concepts in translating Qing marriage law

ABSTRACT In the translation history of Chinese legal classics, George Jamieson was an eminent legal translator recognizing the significance of modern English law in translating and interpreting traditional Chinese family law. This article looks at how Jamieson correlated Qing marriage clauses with key elements in English contract and marriage law. Through detailed textual analysis and comparative legal studies, it discovers the underlying common ground that prompted Jamieson to make the parallels. While bringing about a cross-cultural legal convergence, his translation led to obscuring the special facets of Chinese marriage. By positioning English and Chinese laws in the same legal axis, he also incurred the unexpected and easily ignored effect of making their differences more manifest. His packaging demonstrates English law as the benchmark against which Qing law was judged, revealing an asymmetrical relation between them. Avoiding vague generalization, this study casts light on the importance of drawing on comparative legal studies to probe the inner intricacies of transcultural legal dialogue so as to pave the way for in-depth understanding between Chinese and English legal traditions.

Planimetry of the Monumental of Jaén Kingdom’s “Caudillos” Located in Santisteban del Puerto.

The Ducal Archive of Medinaceli hosts an interesting collection of maps and plans which has recently been catalogued by a team of specialists during the completion of an I+D research project. In the collection, there is a set of plans associated with the Casa de Santisteban del Puerto, the so-called Caudillos mayores (main chieftains) of the Kingdom of Jaen. In this paper, we will be focusing on the most relevant properties in this city: the famous Castle of San Esteban, the Ducal Palace and the Convent of San Francisco. Our research is based on a descriptive methodology on the main urban-planimetric typological characteristics of historical cities, as is the case of Santisteban del Puerto. And its result not only provides the opportunity to make a reflection about the importance of drawing in the world or architecture, but also rectifies some imprecisions concerning this catalogue in order to reach a better understanding of the maps. The importance of the planimetry covered here lies in the fact that the monuments no longer exist.

Guidance as ‘Women’s Work’: A New Generation of Female Islamic Authorities in Britain

This article is about a new publicly visible generation of female Islamic authorities in the UK and the ways in which they make sense of what it means to be a female authority within largely male-dominated structures of knowledge production. These authorities are setting up their own institutes and emphasising the importance of drawing from within the Islamic tradition while contextualising it in the British context. On the one hand, they stress their unique ability as women to provide personal and collective guidance, based on relationships of empathy and care, that addresses the needs of Muslim women in Britain. On the other hand, they recognise the limitations of presenting guidance as ‘women’s work’, and they seek to pluralise their roles or to present gender as irrelevant in their work. By navigating between accepting, pluralising and transcending female modes of authority, they carve out legitimate spaces for themselves as female leaders while developing and imagining new understandings of Islamic knowledge and plural models of pious leadership. I argue that these multiple ways of making sense of their experiences move us away from theorising female religious leadership solely through binary tropes, such as liberal/orthodox Islam, resistance/compliance, enabling/constraining, which continue to shape research in the field.

El dibujo y su aporte a la identificación de valores de la arquitectura vernácula.

Vernacular architecture is considered as a cultural legacy which study has gained prominence during the last decades. Indeed, its complex and dynamic nature requires a depth understanding in order to guarantee its conservation and to maximize its use as a source of innovation for contemporary architecture. This paper reflects on the importance of drawings as a potential tool to communicate and evidence the cultural heritage values attached to these modest buildings. A comparative analysis is presented, contrasting quantitative data and qualitative data obtained from the research carried out at the end of the eighties. The main findings emphasize the role of drawings as a no verbal – visual language easy to comprehend for diverse audiences and capable to communicate valuable information to different fields.

Agricultural investment in Iraq ( Reality and determinats ) for the period (1995-2015)

This research aims to study the influence of the most important factors that reflect on the agricultural investment in Iraq (1995-2015) and its impact on the agricultural sector in general. For this, the research is based on the hypothesis that the fluctuation and decline in agricultural investment to several economic factors vary in their effect. According to this hypothesis. The research relied on the method of linking two directions, The descriptive approach, which relied on previous studies on the same subject, quantitive, which based on the methods and styles of the standard economy, where the ordinaryleastsquareswasusedand explanation of quantitive style results for the evaluation of the technical phase of study. Agricultural investment (fixed capital accumulation) was adopted as an approved variable, and the size of agricultural loans, inflation rate, deficit and surplus from the general budget of the government, the value of support to agricultural sector, the value of investment allocations in the agricultural sector for agricultural reclamation. The research has achieved many conclusions among which is that despite of the investment allocations directed to the agricultural sector and the initiation of the agricultural initiative in 2008 ,however, the volume of agricultural loans showed non- significant importance, no clear strategy for agricultural investment appeared , additionally, these allocations were not strongly nor directly directed to the agricultural investment, based of the above of conclusions achieved by the study on the importance of drawing or imaging a future vision of agricultural investment clear enough to get the agricultural reality really prospered and emphasizing on the importance of of the continuity in supporting the agricultural sector specially in the increase of the investment allocations and the continuity of the funding policy Through. the agricultural initiative, while ensuring the existence of a strong monitoring apparatus that ensures the disbursement of these amounts in the right level in order to access agricultural investment at required level, which in turn works on the development of the agricultural sector, As well as increasing interest in the study of economic indicators and agricultural positive effects and activate the role of low-impact indicators such as support to the agricultural sector poor input support will support the outputs to improve the reality of the agricultural sector.
