Julio Cortázar señaló en sus textos teóricos de finales de los sesenta la naturaleza vanguardista y radical del happening y la dificultad de la intelectualidad del momento para conceptualizarlo ...adecuadamente. Sus novelas 62. Modelo para armar y, sobre todo, Libro de Manuel experimentaron narrativamente con el happening y, en ciertos momentos, escenificaron propuestas cercanas a la experimentación situacionista que preconizaba Debord: algunos de sus personajes producían intervenciones en el espacio público que quebraban las inercias vitales y la percepción de la realidad de aquellos personajes que se veían afectados por ellas. Esos happenings e intervenciones situacionistas sirvieron a Cortázar, por una parte, para intervenir en el debate sobre las nuevas formas de la acción política en su relación con la cultura y, por otra parte, para ofrecer una metáfora bastante definida de su propia creación literaria.
Considerable past classroom learning environment research has focused on the primary and secondary levels of education and the subject areas of science and mathematics. The current study is ...distinctive in its focus on university business statistics learning environments. For the first time, we validated and applied the widely-used What Is Happening In this Class? (WIHIC) questionnaires among tertiary statistics students. With a sample of 375 students from 12 university statistics classes, we furnished evidence to support the WIHIC's factor structure, internal consistency reliability, predictive validity (in terms of associations with two types of statistics anxiety) and discriminant validity (in terms of differentiating between three ethnic groups). Limitations, contributions and suggestions for future research are discussed. Author abstract
Drawing on literature along with the visual and performing arts, Anthony B. Pinn theorizes religion as a technology for interrogating human experiences understanding the ways in which things are ...always involved in processes of exchange and interplay.
Within economics, game theory occupied a rather isolated niche in the 1960s and 1970s. It was pursued by people who were known specifically as game theorists and who did almost nothing but game ...theory, while other economists had little idea what game theory was. Game theory is now a standard tool in economics. Contributions to game theory are made by economists across the spectrum of fields and interests, and economists regularly combine work in game theory with work in other areas. Students learn the basic techniques of game theory in the first-year graduate theory core. Excitement over game theory in economics has given way to an easy familiarity. This essay first examines this transition, arguing that the initial excitement surrounding game theory has dissipated not because game theory has retreated from its initial bridgehead, but because it has extended its reach throughout economics. Next, it discusses some key challenges for game theory, including the continuing problem of dealing with multiple equilibria, the need to make game theory useful in applications, and the need to better integrate noncooperative and cooperative game theory. Finally it considers the current status and future prospects of game theory.
Educational reforms in Qatar have seen the implementation of inquiry-based learning and other student-centred pedagogies. However, there have been few efforts to investigate how these adopted western ...pedagogies are aligned with the high context culture of Qatar. The study presented in this article highlights the implementation of a student-centred intervention called Process-Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) in selected independent Arabic government schools in Qatar. The study followed a theoretical framework composed of culturally relevant pedagogical practice and social constructivism in teaching and learning. A mixed method research design involving experimental and comparison groups was utilised. Carefully structured learning materials when implemented systematically in a POGIL intervention helped Grade 10 science students improve their perceptions of chemistry learning measured from pre- and post-tests as measured by the What Is Happening In this Class (WIHIC) questionnaire and school-administered achievement test. The study further provided school-based mentoring and professional development opportunities for teachers in the region. Significantly, POGIL was found to be adaptable in the Arabic context.

Die kinetischen Plastiken des Schweizer Bildhauers Jean Tinguely (1925--1991) oszillieren in aktiviertem Zustand zwischen statischer Skulptur und ephemerem Geschehen, zwischen Objekt- und Ereignis ...-haftigkeit. Sie bringen ein plastisches Ereignis hervor. Erstmals wird hier der Ereignis-Begriff für die Skulpturtheorie fruchtbar gemacht, um die bewegte Skulptur der 1960er Jahre über den Begriff der kinetischen Plastik hinausgehend zu präzisieren und ihren Einfluss auf die zeitgenössische bewegte Skulptur zu offenbaren. Auf der begrifflichen Grundlage des plastischen Ereignisses werden die Entwicklungslinien von Jean Tinguelys Aktionsskulpturen zu jenen der nachfolgenden Generationen aufgezeigt.
Die Ereignishaftigkeit der bewegten Skulptur wird durch eine empirische Untersuchung der Plastiken Tinguelys definiert, welche die Materialität, Räumlichkeit und Zeitlichkeit, das Verhältnis zwischen Objekt und Betrachter sowie den situativen Kontext und die Aufführungspraxis einbezieht. Das plastische Ereignis wird aus produktions-, rezeptions- und wahrnehmungstheoretischer Perspektive untersucht und unter Rückgriff auf Jacques Derridas philosophische Studie zum Ereignisbegriff sowie der medienphilosophischen, theaterwissenschaftlichen und rezeptionstheoretischen Konzepte zum Ereignisbegriff von Dieter Mersch, Erika Fischer-Lichte und Martin Seel bestimmt. Darüber hinaus wird erstmals der für das Werkverständnis wichtige Zusammenhang von Tinguelys Interesse für die darstellenden Künste und seinem bildhauerischen OEuvre aufgezeigt.

Several authors have proposed that perceptual information carries labels that identify temporal features, including time of occurrence, ordinal temporal relations, and brief durations. These labels ...serve to locate and organise perceptual objects, features, and events in time. In some proposals time marking has local, specific functions such as synchronisation of different features in perceptual processing. In other proposals time marking has general significance and is responsible for rendering perceptual experience temporally coherent, just as various forms of spatial information render the visual environment spatially coherent. These proposals, which all concern time marking on the millisecond time scale, are reviewed. It is concluded that time marking is vital to the construction of a multisensory perceptual world in which things are orderly with respect to both space and time, but that much more research is needed to ascertain its functions in perception and its neurophysiological foundations.
•Time markers locate perceptual information in time.•Time markers may support synchronisation in perceptual information.•Time markers may represent temporal information in frames of conscious perception.•Time markers may support perceived happening.•Labelling with time marking is of fundamental importance to perception.
"Performance Photography. Live Art in the Age of its Reproduction" by Burcu Dogramaci examines the relationship between ephemeral art, its storage and its reproduction in analogue and digital media ...from the 1960s to the present day. The emergence of new aesthetic practices (performance art, action art, happenings etc.) was accompanied by a focus on the media used for their recording. Photography and video have shaped the reception of temporary works until today. This book explores the multi-dimensional relationship between live art and recording media from a systematic and exemplary perspective. Das Buch untersucht das Verhältnis von ephemerer Kunst, ihrer Speicherung und Reproduktion in analogen und digitalen Medien von den 1960er Jahren bis zur Gegenwart. Mit der Herausbildung neuer ästhetischer Praktiken (Performance Art, Aktionskunst, Happening etc.) kam der Status ihrer medialen Aufzeichnung in den Blick. Fotografie und Video prägen die Rezeption eigentlich vergänglicher Arbeiten bis in die Gegenwart. Sie vertreten die Aktionen, die für das Publikum nicht mehr leiblich erfahrbar sind, und entreißen sie ihrer Zeitgebundenheit. Das Konzept des anachronistischen ,,Nachlebens" (Aby Warburg) kann helfen, Hierarchien zwischen dem Ereignis und seiner Reproduktion in produktiver Weise zu befragen. Das Buch nimmt sich der Aufgabe an, das vieldimensionale und komplizierte Verhältnis zwischen den transitorischen Formen der Kunst und ihrer medialen Aufzeichnung in systematischer und exemplarischer Perspektive zu untersuchen.
Abstract Research at the secondary school level provides compelling evidence to suggest that a positive school climate is related to improved health, wellbeing, and cognitive outcomes for students. ...In response to these findings, school systems around the world are mandating the collection of school climate data in schools. However, reviews of the literature indicate that there are relatively few instruments that provide evidence to support translation and criterion validity and assess the school climate from the perspectives of primary school students; and all of them were considered unsuitable or problematic for our purposes. To overcome this gap in the literature, this article describes the development and validation of a school climate survey designed to assess primary school students’ perceptions of school climate. Evidence to support translation validity is provided through data collected at various stages of the development process. Further, data collected from a sample of 1193 primary school students (years 3 to 6) were analysed to provide evidence to support convergent, discriminant concurrent, and predictive validity. The survey and evidence of its psychometric properties are significant for researchers, schools, and education systems seeking to assess primary school students’ perception of the school climate.
