From Point Cloud To Video Projection Mapping: Knowing Modern Architecture By Using Light Projection

Abstract The ClusterLab HeModern of the Università Iuav di Venezia has been working in recent years on the study, knowledge and conservation of 20th century architecture. This interdisciplinary research group (History of Architecture, Geomatics, Building Technology, Restoration Project) intends to investigate how to analyse and evaluate the state of conservation of the materials of which the modern architectural cultural heritage is composed by identifying specific application protocols for intervention, preservation and valorisation. In 2018, the collaboration between the above-mentioned ClusterLab, the LéaV of the Ecole nationale supérieure d’architecture in Versailles and the Archivio del Moderno of the Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio - Università della Svizzera italiana, culminated in the identification of the works and career of André Bloc as a case study. In the context of this study, the Tour, the Engineer’s posthumous work, was selected to serve as a sample for research on the methods of communication of the contents of the architecture, the survey procedures used and the elaborations obtained. So, after the survey campaign, which took place via topographic, laser scanning and photogrammetric methods, two different levels of restitution were conceived: the first, made according to the canonical graphic paper methods, represents the procedural and surveying information, the material characterisation and the state of decay; the second elevates the same contents by applying them to physical reality. In this phase, the research focused on the possibility of making the different projects collaborate through the technique of rapid prototyping and video projection mapping. This particular form of augmented reality was used to enrich, through the mediation of light projections, the sensory perception of the observers by adding more information and emphasising those of greatest interest, proposing an alternative way of storytelling. In fact, unlike other forms of augmented reality, in the case of video projection mapping, the observer has the possibility to interact continuously with the physical reality, whose character is static, while the transmission of data is dynamic and can range in heterogeneity. The elaborations produced were presented in form of a museum exhibit at the international conference “Arti e architettura. Il contributo di André Bloc 1950-1970”, which took place in the exhibition rooms of the Università Iuav di Venezia.

Culture and storytelling in literature

Abstract The present study compared ways of storytelling in Western and Asian literature. Content analysis was performed on Amazon.com and New York Times best-selling fictions and memoirs (N = 102) by Western and Asian authors. Although authors of the two cultural groups described similar numbers of event episodes per chapter, Western authors depicted the episodes in greater detail than Asian authors in both fictions and memoirs. Asian authors, on the other hand, described more frequently repeated events than Western authors in fictions. These findings highlight the important role of literature in reflecting as well as perpetuating cultural ways of storytelling.

Contribution of the British To Develop Indian English Literature

Development of Indian English Literature in India gathered momentum with the consolidation of British imperialism in India. As we know the British sow the seed of Indian Writing in English during the period of the British rule in India. English language and literature in India starts with the advent of East India Company in India. It all started in the summers of 1608 when Emperor Jahangir, in the courts of Mughals, welcomed Captain William Hawkins, Commander of British Naval Expedition Hector. It was India's first tryst with an Englishman and English. Jahangir later allowed Britain to open a permanent port and factory on the special request of King James IV that was conveyed by his ambassador Sir Thomas Roe. English were here to stay. Indian writings in English were heavily influenced by the Western art form of the novel. It was typical for the early Indian English language writers to use English unadulterated by Indian words to convey experiences that were primarily Indian. The core reason behind this step was the fact that most of the readers were either British or British educated Indians. In the early 20th century, when the British conquest of India was achieved, a new breed of writers started to emerge on the block. These writers were essentially British who were born or brought up or both in India. Their writing consisted of Indian themes and sentiments but the way of storytelling was primarily western. They had no reservation in using native words, though, to signify the context. This group consisted likes of Rudyard Kipling, Jim Corbett, and George Orwell among others. In fact, some of the writings of that era are still considered to be masterpieces of English Literature. KEYWORDS: Contribution of British, Development, British works & strategy, English Literature.

O poetičkim kontinuitetima i diskontinuitetima (roman Klobuk Petra Sarića u kontekstu njegove romaneskne poetike)

Interpretation of an author's literary work compared to other literary works of the same author necessarily leads to understanding the similarities and differences that this work brings in relation to those that precede it, which means that it is necessary to talk about poetic continuities (which are inevitable) and poetic discontinuities (which are expected). Deciding to connect the plot of his latest novel Klobuk (2021) to the drama of a hero - Turkish leader Asan Begenišić, who was taken to the Janissaries as a child - Šaric made a step into the more distant past than he does in his earlier novels, but remained consistently faithful to the recognizable epic environment, patriarchal culture and tradition, way of storytelling, etc., With his focus on events and character(s) from the historical past and the Montenegrin space, with his novel Klobuk Petar Sarić expresses his consistency with his poetic world, well known from the novels Dečak iz Lastve, Petruša i Miluša, Sutra stiže Gospodar, Strah od svetlosti and Sara. However, he connected the basic story of the novel - the story of klobuk dizdar Asan (Jovan) Begenišić - with the memory of the story he grew up with, which significantly influenced the formation of the world of his literary work. The focus on the personal drama of the protagonist makes this novel by Sarić more psychologically complex, and the emphasized process of symbolization and open concept of narration more modern in relation to everything that this writer published during half a century of creation. With his latest novel, Sarić showed not only full creative and narrative maturity, but also the ability and courage to bring the elements that make up probably his greatest quality into the built and recognizable poetic world of his novels. This primarily refers to the symbolic layer of the novel with which the writer made the greatest poetic discontinuity in relation to previous achievements.

American Influence and Representation in Japanese Manga and Anime—BNHA's All Might

When talking about manga, we are typically referring to Japanese comics. The term is often mistaken and used interchangeably with the word anime, which contrarily to the written comics refers to the animated adaptations of Manga or to original animation products. Since 1970, Japanese Manga and Anime have experienced an unprecedented popularity, introducing an innovative way of telling stories and portraying reality eventually absorbed into our Western culture. This article examines the animated series adaptation of Kohei Horikoshi's Boku No Hero Akademia, paying particular attention to one of the main characters: All Might.

Comparison of the effect of teaching Bundle Branch Block of electrocardiogram through storytelling and lecture on learning and satisfaction of nursing students: A quasi-experimental study

AimIn this study, we taught learners the interpretation of the bundle branch block in two ways of storytelling and usual lecture, then compare the effect of these two methods on the level of learning and satisfaction. Storytelling can lead to deep learning, promoted critical thinking of students and enhanced clinical skills. It is an effective teaching method engaging nursing and midwifery students in clinical education. DesignA quasi-experimental study. MethodsWe conducted this study in the training hospital, Ardabil, Iran, from 2019 to 2020. We selected 70 nursing students of semesters 6th and 7th through convenience sampling then allocated them randomly into two groups of intervention (n = 40) and control (n = 30). We taught the same topics to the intervention group via the storytelling method and the control group via lecturing. Data collection tools included a standard questionnaire of satisfaction with the teaching method and learning how to interpret an electrocardiogram. Data were analyzed using chi-square and independent t-tests. The significance level was considered less than 0.05. ResultsStudents in the control group had a higher mean score of satisfaction with the teaching method (30.00 ± 2.00) than students in the intervention group (29.00 ± 3.00). Also, There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding learning quality (P = 0.20). ConclusionBoth methods of storytelling and lecturing were effective in increasing students' satisfaction. However, the liking of the teaching method, learning in a short time and high motivation for learning in the intervention group were higher. It is suggested to teach electrocardiogram interpretation to nursing students first through lecturing and then stabilize the concepts in their minds through storytelling.

Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet: Ghosts and Monsters of the AnthropoceneAfter Extinction

Arts of Living on a Damaged Planet: Ghosts and Monsters of the AnthropoceneAfter Extinction

Back to the Future

When speculating about the state of moving image in 2021, it might be instructive to explore the ‘pre-history’ of the current streaming era – and therefore this paper will initially focus on a particular cultural/historical moment, the year 2000 (and the very early 2000s); the start of a new millennium and the peak of the ‘dot com era’. This period was characterized by a huge burst of creative and technological energy related to moving image on the web, manifested in the emergence of specialised web portals such as Atomfilms, Shockwave, Heavy, Brickflims; independent creators such as Evan Mather and hi.res; a global plethora of Fanfilms (particularly based around Star Wars); as well as digital moving image festivals such as One Dot Zero (UK) and Res.Fest (US), which purported to be a window into the future, or at least the ‘bleeding edge’ of new media aesthetics intersecting with cinema. In this pre-Broadband and pre-YouTube period, the web was a ‘clunky’ and unreliable platform for a variety of technically complicated moving image files. However, it is possible to look back on the early 2000s as a liminal moment between the celluloid/video/physical media era and our remotely hosted, high-definition present. This paper will describe it as a fertile and open space, where artists and curators had the opportunity to dream of what the future might become, grappling with how moving image on the web (and their narrative language and aesthetics) could be envisioned differently from what had come before. If the Internet was a ‘site’, what types of moving image work could be ‘site-specific’? The paper will offer up key examples from that period and then jump forward in time to apply a similar framework of speculation to moving image online in the year 2021, and in the latter stages will explore what if any radical new ways of storytelling might arise as we move forward into an uncertain ‘future’.

STORYTELLING APPLICATION BASED ON INTERACTIVE STORY GRAPH STRUCTURE (ISGS)

Storytelling is a process of conveying series of events and information in words, images, and sound. Conventionally, storytelling developers/writers will apply the linear narrative structure approach to deliver the stories. However, that approach has some limitations; users cannot determine the path to end the story. They have no option to choose how to end the story based on their way of storytelling. Therefore, this study is about applying an Interactive Story Graph Structure (ISGS) approach to storytelling. ISGS approach is a structure used in storytelling in which users can revert their decision when going through the storytelling application implemented during the development. After completing the storytelling prototype development, a survey was conducted to test users’ enjoyment level when using the prototype. The survey was divided into four constructs: expectation, ease of navigation, understanding, and satisfaction. There were 36 respondents, and the data were collected on a random basis. Based on the survey’s result, most users (90.28%) enjoyed the storytelling application. The storytelling prototype was developed using Adobe Animate Creative Cloud and has been distributed among the respondents randomly. The analysis was conducted to determine the findings, limitations, and recommendations for future project improvement based on the results obtained. This study’s outcome is the complete production of storytelling application, which is creative and interactive with ISGS.

Narrative Technique in the theme of Escapism

In 1933, the word "escapism” was first used in the Encyclopedia of Social Sciences to describe someone who actively attempts to escape from their everyday life. Everyone agrees that Kurt Vonnegut is the undisputed king of postmodern literature. Vonnegut's original ways of storytelling, range of expressive tools, and dramatic creative results are what set him apart. His use of metafiction is blatant and very important, especially in his most recent books. The novel Slaughterhouse-Five is an excellent instance of how metafiction may be used effectively. Vonnegut's metafictional technique in Slaughterhouse-Five takes the forms of non-linear storytelling, collage, and parody. This paper uses postmodern narrative theory to examine in depth the ways in which these three separate narrative approaches are used. The focus of this paper is on the authors Michael Chabon, Jonathan Lethem, Thomas Pynchon, Junot Daz, and Jennifer Egan, and their use of self-aware escapism in their recent books. In this thesis, I argue that the central texts offer escapism as an artistically respectable goal with significant philosophical and political ramifications, challenging long-held beliefs about escapism and escapist literature.

Locating reality through visual narratives: Marjane Sartapi’s surfacing in “Persepolis”

The innovative way of telling stories by using visuals with a motive of imparting a message to an audience has influenced several writings. The use of visual narratives turns out to be a profound technique of illustrating stories that has existed and continues to exist event today. From oral narratives to visual ones the art of storytelling has always been efficacious and more absorbing. Impressing upon what, how, where, and in what manner the event took place through graphics is fascinating. There is substantial writing that primarily deals with research on visual stories. One such is Marjane Sartapis Persepolis told through the eyes of a young girl, and this unique perspective of graphic narration offers distinctive insight into the perseverance to retain one's identity in tumultuous times. Nations and homelands play an important part in ones identity formation. Associating oneself to national sentiments and signs, individuals feel themselves part of the nation. However, identity becomes problematic for those in diaspora. This research paper intends to look at Majane Sartapis Persepolis as an attempt of the author to surface through many of her inner-outer conflicts. The paper shall trace her journey of self-approval from Iran to Vienna and finally to France. The trauma and the identity crisis she faces during her childhood in Iran and later in Vienna is an experience which she decides to narrate using animated comic images. The use of visual narrative form has helped her convey the trauma and pain she long carried. Finding a homeland and an identity became challenging.

“Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Lanza Tu Pelo”: Storytelling in a Transcultural, Translanguaging Dialogic Exchange

ABSTRACTIn this study, we examined story circles to understand how the small‐group activity supports and shapes the storytelling of young students in multicultural, multilingual preschool classrooms. Through a representative example, we show how language development unfolds in the context of a transcultural and translanguaging dialogic exchange of stories. We describe features of increasing linguistic complexity present in students’ storytelling as they established affinity‐affirming connections over ideas, shared ways of languaging, and shared ways of storytelling. By examining changes in one student’s storytelling in the context of a mixed‐language story circle group, we offer insights into both language development and features of the language ecology in which such changes are supported.

MANIFESTO STORYTELLING: A NEW METHOD OF ORGANIZATIONS

In postmodern era, rational bound in consumption relations was untied. Signs, symbols and “meanings” created by organizations in consumption, have replaced the use-value of products. The “meanings” created by organizations through public relations, advertising and marketing affect the consumption decisions of individuals. Individuals buy the “meaning” attributed to the product together with the product. Storytelling emerges as an important tool for creating these meanings. Stories disseminate emotions and help to bound people. The purpose of the article is to discuss how "manifesto storytelling", a new way of storytelling, functions in the new conception of consumption. In this context, Dove’s “Real Beauty”, Diesel’s “Be Stupid”, Axe’s “Boys do Cry”, Nike’s “Find Your Greatness” campaigns were analyzed through multiple case study method by using descriptive analysis. It was concluded that “Manifesto storytelling” is used by organizations as a tool to create a sense of “being a part of a cause” and to establish an emotional bond with the consumer within the new conception of consumption.

Mexican photojournalism: the visual narrative of La Jornada newspaper (1984-2000), a way of telling stories

PurposeThis paper aims to broadly address a PhD research stream that the author has been conducting to date, whose historical objective is press photography, specifically the published images in La Jornada newspaper. A visual speech of the various contexts lived in Mexico at the end of the twentieth century. In the following lines, the author will present her methodology proposal with the aim of learning and analyzing the speech created by press photography and its relation to historical reality. A journalistic speech generating a language describing events, but at the same time a language manipulated by the subjectivity of the author – the press photographer. A historical timeline of which the photojournalist was part and which influenced the manner historical reality was perceived by the receiving social group.Design/methodology/approachIt is important to clarify that this database does not intend to replace the estimations which could be obtained by directly and individually analyzing each photograph. However, this instrument has allowed the author to collect a great quantity of readable graphic and textual information, as well as to describe the characteristic attributes of each image as a documentary unit. In other words, the author intends to address the visual events as a part of the historical events, as claimed by the Mexican historian Ricardo Pérez Montfort. This to provide an in-depth study on how historical, social, cultural and political phenomena were registered by press photography; not omitting history, this specific moment, punctually requires photography and written journalism as a vestige. The latter not only with the purpose of going further on the functions of photography but also on the significance of the photographic phenomenon and the visual speech within social and cultural history of a country.FindingsFurthermore, the author will present, to the extent possible, some elements which have allowed the identification of the manner in which the editor(s) of the newspaper impacted the presentation of visual speech, as well as the interests and visions of the social group they represent. This is a way to go further on different assumptions, such as the person taking the picture, the person editing it – after reaching the editorial and ideological line of the newspaper – as well as the person publishing the picture; a new manner to address editorial work and photojournalism on written media. To achieve the aforementioned aim, this essay comprehends the intertextuality and visual production, as well as the contexts lived throughout the six-year Presidential terms of office of Miguel de la Madrid Hurtado, Carlos Salinas de Gortari and Ernesto Zedillo Ponce de León, through diverse published images in La Jornada newspaper from 1984 to 2000.Originality/valueThis research not only addresses the generated material by the photojournalists of La Jornada newspaper during this period but also includes, as a part of the oral history methodology, the testimonies of some assistant directors, people in charge of the photography department, the editor, the designer and photographers who stood out in the newspaper. In addition, the author has a database which has allowed to collect, store and connect information present in each of the photographs published on different covers and back covers of the newspaper. It comprises 15 categories which have been nurturing the database (reviewed dates, journalistic and photographic genders, reporters, pages, published photographs, photograph format, themes of the photographs, places, characters, titles of the photographs, photograph caption, credit, photograph composition, angle and time). It is important to clarify that this database does not intend to replace the estimations which could be obtained from directly and individually analyzing each photograph. However, this instrument has allowed the author to collect a great quantity of readable graphic and textual information, as well as to describe the characteristic attributes of each image as a documentary unit.

Searching for Autonomy in Digital News Entrepreneurism Projects

Digital entrepreneurism is often depicted as a positive disruption in the news ecosystem; it initiates new business models, fosters new ways of storytelling, and enables closer interaction with audiences. The extent to which entrepreneurial journalism entails a disruption of journalistic norms, roles, and procedures remains a matter of debate. Against this background, our study aims to explore how news entrepreneurism impacts journalistic autonomy on an organizational as well as an individual level. Conceptually, we define four dimensions of journalistic autonomy, namely organizational and procedural autonomy, as well as autonomy regarding professional norms and external influences such as funding and audiences. Empirically, we conducted interviews with founders of and journalists at 12 news startups in Germany. Our results indicate that both groups perceive a high level of autonomy in relation to professional norms and working procedures, and experience only little pressure from external influences. Still, the struggle for solid financing as well as the duality of economic and editorial duties limit both founders’ and journalists’ autonomy.

Meu corpo precisa ocupar espaç

This essay is part of a wider research about narratives — ways of storytelling, of dancing, filming, writing — that develops out of three intuitions: bodies must move, dance and occupy space; dancing is contagious; and movies are a privileged narrative form to present dancing bodies and a space of contact and resonance for the spectator, in dialog with the French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy’s thought on bodies, cinema and writing. In this way this text proposes to look and listen to a scene from the 1976 movie Cria Cuervos by Spanish filmmaker Carlos Saura.
