Abstract This article focuses on the activity of the Coro da Juventude Musical Portuguesa (JMP, Choir of Lisbon), of Lisbon, from the end of the 1960s (c. 1969) until the end of the Portuguese revolutionary period (c. 1976). Considering that, throughout these periods, this choir sought to introduce innovative approaches in the processes of selection, interpretation and presentation of diverse repertoires in different contexts, I highlight the aesthetic and political meanings given by its members to practices that contributed to the dissemination of musical expressions originated from various regions of the country, as a way of appreciation of Portuguese popular culture. With the 25th of April 1974, I observe the reconfiguration of practices and repertoires and describe some of the different paths of the members of the JMP Choir, focusing on their activity and influence in the context of musical groups associated with political-party organizations.

Resumo Este artigo centra-se na atividade do Coro da Juventude Musical Portuguesa (JMP), de Lisboa, desde finais da década de 1960 (c. 1969) até ao fim do período revolucionário português (c. 1976). Considerando que, ao longo destes períodos, este coro procurou imprimir abordagens inovadoras nos processos de seleção, interpretação e apresentação de repertórios diversificados em diferentes contextos, destaco os significados estéticos e políticos conferidos pelos seus membros a práticas que contribuíram para a divulgação de expressões musicais oriundas de várias regiões do país, enquanto forma de valorização da cultura popular portuguesa. Com o 25 de Abril de 1974, observo a reconfiguração de práticas e repertórios e descrevo alguns dos diferentes percursos dos membros do Coro da JMP, visando a sua atividade e influência no contexto de grupos musicais associados a organizações político-partidárias.

Abstract: Through an examination of the aesthetic ideas of the Konstanz School (in particular, in the texts of Wolfgang Iser and Hans Robert Jauss), we intend to make an inflection on the usual links between communication and the aesthetic experience - in the way they were traditionally encoded , as aspects of a critique of extreme mediatization processes, in the late stages of capitalism, illustrated by the philosophical ideas of the Frankfurt School (especially in the writings of Theodor W. Adorno and Walter Benjamin). We set up as signs of this inflection the proposal for a rehabilitation of phenomena such as the “aesthetic effect” (in Iser) and “catharsis” (in Jauss), as elements that combine affective states of the aesthetic receptivity of works of art with their potential for communicability, proposing from there another type of connection for the appreciation of phenomena, processes and communicational products, in an aesthetic key.

Abstract: This article holds the opinion that some meta-picto-poetry of landscape, composed by American poet Gary Snyder, takes Chinese landscape painting as its subject matter with the characteristics of ancient Chinese poetry, shimmering with incomparable artistic charm and cultural substance. Poetry of this kind is a perfect combination of eastern and western elements, integrating the cultures, thoughts and arts of both sides. The appreciation of this poetry creates a complex experience with a hybrid of artistic forms and aesthetic spaces. Gary Snyder is not only an eco-poet, but also a stylist and a man of practice. His poetic works reveal the fostering relationship between literature, culture and nature. The article intends to make a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary and multi-field attempt in Snyder’s criticism, with analytical methods inclusive of eastern and western cultures, ancient and present visions as well as dynamic and static experiences.

Abstract This article proposes to reflect on the appreciation of art, in the present day, in front of technological communication. Culture, as a living organism, in its movements, generates and produces languages. The places where the reception scenes take place are diverse: from visitation in loco to virtual. The meaning of the word place became potent with the online universe, processing new ways of receiving and feeling art. The museum format is the axis for questioning and the Google Art Project - GAP is the referential corpus that directs the thinking of the problem. It opens up possibilities for various user feelings and choices, in relation to the objects of art, in a virtual mediation. We named designs of appreciation, the new aesthetic formats, to receive and interact with art, for its function-ality towards the connoisseur. Yuri Lotman, Milton J. Bennett, Néstor Canclini, Walter Zanini, Selma Thomas, and others, among others, are based on the ideas of culture, art and museums.

RESUMEN El objetivo del presente artículo es problematizar la idea del gusto por la literatura como mera habilidad a desarrollarse en la escuela, independientemente de los condicionamientos sociales de los estudiantes. Además de discutir el papel de la lectura subjetiva de la literatura, analizaremos siete competencias propuestas por la Base Nacional Curricular Comum relacionadas específicamente a la apreciación del texto literario. En términos metodológicos, utilizaremos las herramientas del Análisis del Discurso, ya que partimos de la comprensión del referido documento normativo brasileño como enunciado compuesto tanto por su materialidad verbal como por la coyuntura ideológica que lo convirtió en acontecimiento. Si bien presenta avances con relación a la educación literaria practicada en las escuelas, se puede identificar en el susodicho documento un tratamiento tecnicista de la fruición, informado como está por postulados neoliberales articulados a las prescripciones educacionales. escuela estudiantes literario metodológicos Discurso acontecimiento escuelas fruición educacionales

ABSTRACT The objective of this study is to question the idea that the taste for literature would be merely an ability to be developed at school, independently of the students’ social conditioning. In addition to discussing the role of subjective readings of literature, we are going to analyze seven abilities registered in the Brazilian National Common Curricular Basis [Base Nacional Comum Curricular] that deal specifically with the appreciation of literature. In methodological terms, we draw on tools provided by Discourse Analysis due to the conception of this document as an utterance composed both of verbal materiality and an ideological conjecture behind. Although the document presents advancements regarding literary education at schools, the study points to a technicist treatment of fruition, aligned to the neoliberal postulates articulated with the educational prescriptions. school students conditioning Base terms behind schools fruition prescriptions

Resumen Este artículo tiene como objetivo presentar un modelo de investigación narrativa con la investigación basada en la ficción. Explicaremos sus pasos y reflexionaremos sobre sus efectos para la investigación en psicología, específicamente con poblaciones estigmatizadas, ante el interés de ampliar las perspectivas sobre un mismo tema. Al valorar la singularidad de la experiencia, la investigación narrativa permite cuestionar verdades absolutas y construir significados alternativos a los hegemónicos. La investigación basada en la ficción, por otro lado, puede promover la conexión afectiva a través de las historias, además de garantizar una mayor confidencialidad de la información. Describimos los siguientes pasos metodológicos para la sistematización de este tipo de investigación: Elección de la investigación basada en la ficción, Producción de “textos de campo”, Pasar a “textos de investigación” y Definición del estilo literario. Estos pasos pretenden inspirar investigaciones que consideren los aspectos éticos y estéticos, así como la intersección teórica y artística. ficción psicología estigmatizadas tema experiencia hegemónicos lado historias información textos campo, campo , campo” literario estéticos artística

Abstract This article aims to present a model of narrative research in conjunction with fiction-based research. For this, we will explain its steps and reflect on its effects for research in psychology, specifically with stigmatized populations, given the interest in broadening perspectives on the same topic. Based on the appreciation of the uniqueness of the experience, narrative research makes it possible to question absolute truths and build alternative meanings to the hegemonic ones. Fiction-based research, on the other hand, can promote affective connection through stories, in addition to ensuring greater confidentiality of information. We describe the following methodological steps for the systematization of this type of research: Choice of fiction-based research, Production of “field texts”, Moving on to “research texts” and Defining the literary style. Such steps are intended to inspire research that considers ethical and aesthetic aspects, as well as the intersection of theory and art. fictionbased fiction based psychology populations topic experience ones Fictionbased Fiction hand stories information field texts, texts , style aspects art

Abstract I intend to evaluate different ways of thinking about the relationship between the concepts of “style” and “authorship”, in the field of studies on serial television fiction — as they involve different derived heuristics, sometimes from sociological theories about the field of cultural production, sometimes from the dynamics proper to the relationship between finished works and probabilistic horizons of aesthetic enjoyment and appreciation, arising from poetic approaches on the subject. In an effort to qualify these conceptual correlations in these approaches (sociological and poetic), I aim to better clarify the employment of these categories, in favour of a better delimitation between the dynamics presiding over each of these perspectives — either valuing social and competitive environments of the attribution of authorship, in contrast to cooperative matrices of stipulation of the style, as professional dynamics. inflection of reception and predominantly aesthetic phenomenon. style “style authorship , “authorship” heuristics production appreciation subject poetic, poetic) categories phenomenon “authorship

Resumo Neste artigo, pretendo avaliar os distintos modos de se pensar a relação entre os conceitos de estilo e autoria no campo de estudos sobre a ficção seriada televisiva — conforme impliquem diferentes heurísticas derivadas, ora das teorias sociológicas sobre a produção cultural, ora das relações entre obras e horizontes probabilísticos de apreciação, oriundas de abordagens poéticas sobre o assunto. No esforço por qualificar essas correlações conceituais nos dois modos de aproximação (o sociológico e o poético), viso clarificar melhor os empregos de tais categorias em favor de uma melhor delimitação entre dinâmicas que presidem cada uma dessas perspectivas — ora valorizando ambientes sociais e concorrenciais da atribuição da autoria no campo social da produção, ora como matrizes cooperativas da estipulação do estilo, como inflexão da recepção e do fenômeno predominantemente estético. artigo derivadas cultural apreciação assunto poético, poético , poético) estético

The rapid acceleration of societal change has subjected contemporary individuals to prolonged periods of diverse pressures, leading to substantial psychological strain, resulting in anxiety, depression, and compromised mental well-being. Within this context, the home has evolved into a vital refuge for modern individuals, offering both physical and psychological respite. Through experimental intervention, this study examines two distinct residential groups: those adhering to traditional housing and those residing in characteristic folk houses, specifically Gannan Hakka architecture. Analysing the psychological state of contemporary individuals and integrating Gannan Hakka architectural elements into folk house design through a psychologically informed approach, this research aims to enhance residents' aesthetic experiences and alleviate psychological distress. The study involved 120 volunteers with varying psychological stress levels, categorised into characteristic and traditional folk house groups. Psychological assessments evaluated stress, self-efficacy, and quality of life. Findings reveal significantly improved psychological well-being, self-efficacy, and quality of life among the characteristic residential group, affirming the benefits of Gannan Hakka architecture integration. This research underscores the importance of addressing modern individuals' environmental needs and proposes the integration of Gannan Hakka cultural elements into residential design to enhance well-being. CONTRIBUTION: This study demonstrates the application of Hakka culture in contemporary housing profoundly influences residents' lives, enabling both relaxation and a deeper cultural connection. This integration facilitates a comprehensive understanding of Hakka culture, promoting its preservation. Notably recognised for hospitality and diligence, Hakka culture enhances individuals' appreciation of tradition, fostering physical and mental rejuvenation. These findings offer valuable insights for practical theology scholars and practitioners exploring the impact of religious aspects on modern residential design from a psychological perspective

Abstract During the interwar period, a new appreciation of what were then called “primitive” arts took hold, stimulated by the spread of anthropological studies. Artistic publications were opened to scientists and to treatments of those productions from a purely ethnographic point of view, oblivious to aesthetic evaluations. This occurred with particular intensity in the French milieu. Concentrating on French publications, this paper deals mainly with scientific collaborations in modern art magazines, and how these approaches and the new anthropological contextualizations permeated art criticism and the artistic work itself, to the extent that a kind of “ethnographic turn” can be identified. Focused on period documents, in many cases rarely noticed, the article aims to provide a significant and conceptually complete account-attentive to different artistic sensibilities-of the way this turn manifested itself throughout the period dealt with.

Resumen Durante el periodo de entreguerras se afianzó una nueva apreciación de las entonces llamadas artes “primitivas” determinada por la difusión de estudios antropológicos. Las publicaciones artísticas se abrieron a los científicos y a tratamientos de aquellas producciones netamente etnográficas, ajenas a las valoraciones estéticas. Esto ocurre con especial intensidad en el ámbito francés. Ciñéndose a él, esta investigación atiende sobre todo a las colaboraciones científicas en las revistas de arte moderno, y a cómo sus planteamientos y nuevas contextualizaciones antropológicas van permeando en la crítica de arte y en la propia obra artística, hasta poder identificar una suerte de giro etnográfico. Muy centrada en documentos de época, en ocasiones poco frecuentados, la investigación pretende aportar un relato significativo y conceptualmente completo, atento a las distintas sensibilidades artísticas, sobre la implantación de ese giro a lo largo del periodo tratado.

BACKGROUND: Given the ongoing literacy crisis in South Africa, there is a need for teachers, as well as teacher education programmes, to explore various means to enable learners to develop reading comprehension. This study sought to examine the intricacies of a series of small group literacy activities that hinged on the in-depth and repeated engagement with a contemporary picturebook. Furthermore, it aims to evaluate whether children can develop an affinity for these books AIM: The aim of the study was to explore the ways young readers engage with a contemporary picturebook by way of their oral and painted responses SETTING: The study was a qualitative case study, which took place at an urban public school in the Northern Suburbs of Johannesburg METHODS: The research design followed that of a case study. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews during two paired readings, as well as a focus group discussion (FGD). Additional data were collected through children's painted artefacts and their subsequent individual interviews on these paintings RESULTS: The findings indicate that learners initially had superficial verbal engagements with the picturebook, which was complemented by more creative responses on further readings. Another finding was that the facilitation by the researcher and the interaction with peers improved the learners' depth of engagement. Lastly, the learners' initial basic descriptions of what was visible was complemented by a more nuanced appreciation of the aesthetic features of the picturebook CONCLUSION: Based on the findings, it is concluded that full depth of picturebooks and their affordances in classroom literacy programmes be introduced in detail to pre-service and in-service teachers in order to foster rich and meaningful reading experiences for learners CONTRIBUTIONS: This research functions to contribute to the limited body of literature surrounding children's reading experiences of picturebooks and overall learning specifically in South Africa

ABSTRACT Today, the preservation of the tangible and intangible heritage of each people is seen as an urgent national and international necessity in the face of the phenomenon of globalization that the world is experiencing, which annihilates, minimizes and undervalues accumulated history. The work of appreciation and creation where the Plastic Arts workshops developed by art instructors in primary schools are used is an essential space for the work of Heritage Education of schoolchildren at this level, which is a current problem in this context of action. The present work aims to show the results of a collaborative action research, achieved by the authors, with the application of a methodology based on the implementation of workshops of appreciation - creation of Plastic Arts linked to local heritage. Theoretical and empirical methods were used, as well as certain techniques from the qualitative point of view for the analysis of the data provided. The application of the proposal favoured the development of Heritage Education in school children, the taste for artistic and aesthetic education, as well as the development of professional skills of the art instructors collaborating in the research.

RESUMEN Actualmente se advierte como una necesidad urgente tanto nacional como internacional la preservación del patrimonio material e inmaterial de cada pueblo frente al fenómeno de la globalización que vive el mundo, la que aniquila, minimiza y subvalora la historia acumulada. El trabajo de apreciación y de creación donde se utilicen los talleres de Artes Plásticas que desarrollan los instructores de arte en las escuelas primarias supone un espacio esencial para el trabajo por la Educación Patrimonial de estos escolares, lo que constituye una problemática real en este contexto de actuación. La ponencia es el resultado de una tesis doctoral defendida por el autor, donde se emplea la investigación acción colaborativa, en la que se construye y se aplica una metodología a partir de la implementación de talleres de apreciación - creación de Artes Plásticas vinculados con el patrimonio local. Se empelaron métodos teóricos, empíricos, y determinadas técnicas desde el punto de vista cualitativo para el análisis de los datos aportados. La aplicación de la propuesta favoreció el desarrollo de la Educación Patrimonial en los escolares, el gusto por la educación artística y estética, así como el desarrollo de habilidades profesionales de los instructores de arte colaboradores de la investigación.

ABSTRACT Introduction: personal appearance is a variable of great importance to understand the psychosocial sphere of the individual. Thanks to the development of Plastic Surgery, almost all the external elements of a person can be modified and an imperfection can be molded or transformed in relation to the subjective appreciation and conceptualization of beauty. The consensual decision to implant prostheses to solve breast defects is valued by medical ethics. In 2017, prosthetic implantology for aesthetic purposes was initiated in the hospital in patients with breast augmentation. Objective: to assess ethical aspects related to prosthetic plastic surgery in today's society and the impact of its outcome on the psychosocial function of patients. Method: in September 2020, a bibliographic review of the medical literature published in the last 18 years, in Spanish and English, was carried out. The Google Scholar search engine was used. Development: plastic surgery procedures modify personal appearance and directly increase the psychological and social wellbeing of patients; prosthetic implantology techniques imply immediate and relevant results. Conclusions: breast augmentation surgery with prostheses has a positive and immediate impact on patients' overall satisfaction and projects them to higher levels of personal and social performance with new reinforced self-image and positive aspirations.

RESUMEN Introducción: la apariencia personal constituye una variable de gran importancia para entender la esfera psicosocial del individuo. Gracias al desarrollo de la Cirugía Plástica se pueden modificar casi todos los elementos exteriores de una persona y se puede moldear o transformar una imperfección en relación a la subjetiva apreciación y conceptualización de la belleza. La decisión consensuada de implantar prótesis para solucionar defectos mamarios es valorada por la ética médica. En el año 2017 se inició en el hospital la implantología protésica con fines estéticos en pacientes tributarias de aumento del volumen mamario. Objetivo: valorar aspectos éticos relacionados con la Cirugía Plástica protésica en la sociedad actual y la repercusión de su resultado sobre la función psicosocial de las pacientes. Método: se realizó, en septiembre de 2020, una revisión bibliográfica de la literatura médica publicada en los últimos 18 años, en idioma español e inglés. Se utilizó el motor de búsqueda Google Académico. Desarrollo: los procedimientos de la Cirugía Plástica modifican la apariencia personal y aumentan directamente el bienestar psicológico y social de las pacientes; las técnicas de implantología protésica implican resultados inmediatos y relevantes. Conclusiones: la cirugía de aumento mamario con prótesis tiene un impacto positivo e inmediato en la satisfacción global de las pacientes y las proyecta a escaños superiores de desempeño personal y social con nueva autoimagen reforzada y aspiraciones positivas.

The Sasol Art Museum of the University of Stellenbosch (US) was established in 1991 to house the art collection of the US. At the time the US was already in possession of art pieces from various sources through the years. This included art works donated by students, the Solomon Caesar Malan and Maggie Laubser collections, and the comprehensive collection of Prof. Jdu P Scholtz of South African, European and exotic works of art. During the time of Prof. Muller Ballot as the first Director of the Museum, the collection grew rapidly with outstanding works of art. A number of large collections were donated by prominent artists, e.g. Christo Coetzee (150 items), Nel Erasmus (112), Johannes Meintjes (91) and Larry Scully (10), while bequests of valuable paintings were received from a number of supporters of the museum. Funds were bequeathed by an overseas visitor to buy a sculpture in bronze by the French artist Auguste Rodin. A number of prominent collectors also made donations from their collections, including Peter Freund from Germany who donated about 100 graphic works of important European artists of the early 20th century. With the appointment of a new Director in 2013, drastic changes started to take place. The name of the Sasol Art Museum as the prominent part of the US Museum disappeared and most of the acquired art works were moved to the storage room. The focus shifted from exhibiting artworks, art appreciation and art historical research to political transformation and social justice, as shown by the recent appointment of a Museum Curator: Research, Dialogue and Social Justice. This institution should not forsake its academic calling and should continue to strive to promote the exhibition, expansion, conservation, and study of visual art works as an important and top-ranking source of aesthetic material for research in art history as a present day discipline.

Die Sasol Kunsmuseum het in 1991 tot stand gekom om die kunsversameling van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch (US) te huisves en akademies te bevorder. Die werke reeds in besit van die US is aangevul met groot skenkings soos dié van Solomon Caesar Malan, J du P Scholtz en Maggie Laubser. Groot oorsigversamelings van oeuvres soos deur Christo Coetzee (150-stuks), Nel Erasmus (112), Johannes Meintjes (91), en Larry Scully (10) is bekom. Skenkings en erflatings is selfs ook van buitelandse versamelaars ontvang, soos van die Duitser. Peter Freund (uiteindelik ongeveer 100 drukgrafiese werke van belangrike Europese en ander kunstenaars van die vroeë twintigste eeu), en van 'n Nederlandse besoeker die nodige fondse vir die aankoop van 'n kopbeeld in brons deur Rodin. Met die aanstelling van 'n nuwe Direkteur in 2013 het drastiese veranderings mettertyd begin plaasvind. Die name en beroepswerksaamhede van die instansies (Sasol Kunsmuseum en US Kunsgalery) as die belangrikste onderafdelings van die US Museum het letterlik verdwyn. Só ook die oorgrote meerderheid van bogenoemde kunswerke wat blykbaar meestal weggepak bly. Die fokus het verskuif van kunswaardering, -bevordering en -navorsing na 'n polities gemotiveerde transformasie, soos ook blyk uit die US Museum se aanstelling van 'n kurator vir sogenaamde Navorsing, Dialoog en Sosiale Geregtigheid. Hierdie instelling behoort sy akademiese roeping ten opsigte van die uitstalling, uitbreiding, bewaring en ontsluiting van sy belangrike en eersterangse estetiese bronnemateriaal vir die hedendaagse kunsgeskiedskrywing in Suid-Afrika sonder twyfel te bly navolg.
