I den indledende artikel af Joseph M. Conte, “Det multimodale ikon: Syn, lyd og kognition i nyere poesi”, opridses poesiens historie frem til i dag med udgangspunkt i den tese, at der er sket et skift i den måde, hvorpå vi afkoder poesi. Mens man tidligereopfattede poesi som en kunstart, der kun udtrykte sig i én kode, nemlig bogstaverne på bogsiden, er digtet i den digitale tidsalder blevet et multimodalt ikon, i hvilket tekst og billede samvirker i betydningsdannelsen på en kompleks måde. Hvis fortolkeren skal være på højde med den nyeste poesi, kræver det ifølge Contesåledes også nye tilgange og kompetencer.Joseph M. Conte: “The Multimodal Icon: Sight, Sound and Intellection in Recent Poetries”This article examines the shift from single to multiple semiotic modes in poetry during the age of digital media. While one can argue that in the history of poetry the text has always represented “sight, sound and intellection,” the propagation of digital media and the devolution of popular culture into a predominantly graphical regime have made an irrevocable impression on poetry on-the-page. The production of multimodal poetry in print literature presents the hybridization of text and image, or typography and the visual arts. In the multimodal poetry of Emily McVarish,Steve McCaffery and Geof Huth, the reader encounters two or more semiotic modes simultaneously. The relation between text and image is not one of dependency or autonomy but rather a bilateral interactivity that requires and stimulates a cognitive poetics. Such print works demand that readers pursue a multiplicity of readingpaths and develop the interpretive skills required by multimodal metaphor in which signs are drawn from more than one mode.

The research goal of this paper is to explore and explain the relation between ambiguity management and contextual ambidexterity in innovation. Based on qualitative analysis of case data, a model is presented showing how managing ambiguity is an underlying process of contextual ambidexterity. Requisite variety, perspective-taking and interpretive skills help generate ambiguity to achieve exploration, while analytic skills help reduce ambiguity to achieve exploitation. Contextual ambidexterity is achieved through a process of alternating between generation, sustention and reduction of ambiguity. High ambiguity tolerance (AT) emphasizes exploration, while low AT emphasizes exploitation. The findings contribute to a more detailed theoretical understanding of the contextual ambidexterity concept and can help practitioners to achieve contextual ambidexterity in their innovation projects.

Nuns in early modern convents formed a discerning group of writers whose interpretive skills were distinctly shaped by their devotional discipline. This chapter explores their use of particular biblical passages that expose their contemplative concerns, aesthetic impetus, and wider mission to advance the spiritual state of their own readers. Among other material, the women drew on the Psalms, on Thomas à Kempis, the work of Teresa of Ávila and of other contemporary nuns, many of whom wrote anonymously and have only recently been identified. Nuns’ writing shows detailed knowledge of a wide range of secular and devotional material. Their use of quotation in private papers, publication, and around the convent building reveals a semi-sacramental, intercessional interest, to further their readers’ experience of the holy at a bodily as well as spiritual level. These authors seek to ‘infuse’ devotional feelings, simultaneously instructing and effecting change through the process of textual encounter.

Background: Vulnerable persons often face stigma-related barriers while seeking health care. Innovative education and professional development methods are needed to help change this.Method: We describe an interdisciplinary group workshop designed around a discomfiting oil portrait, intended to trigger provocative conversations among health care students and practitioners, and we present our mixed methods analysis of participant reflections.Results: After the workshop, participants were significantly more likely to endorse the statements that the observation and interpretive skills involved in viewing visual art are relevant to patient care and that visual art should be used in medical education to improve students’ observational skills, narrative skills, and empathy with their patients.  Subsequent to the workshop, significantly more participants agreed that art interpretation should be required curriculum for health care students. Qualitative comments from two groups from two different education and professional contexts were examined for themes; conversations focused on issues of power, body image/self-esteem, and lessons for clinical practice.   Conclusions: We argue that difficult conversations about affective responses to vulnerable persons are possible in a collaborative context using well-chosen works of visual art that can stand in for a patient.

Llegir la imatge. Il·lustrar la paraula. Reflexions al voltant del llibre il·lustrat i el còmic (Reading the image. Drawing the word. Reflections on comic books and illustrated literature, in English), edited by Julia Haba-Osca and Robert Martínez-Carrasco (2020), is a compendium of short articles written in Catalan. The book is the resulting outcome of a series of conferences, International Symposium of Innovation about Illustrated Literature, celebrated at the Universitat de València. Each of these articles acts as an individual chapter within the book, which compiles a total of fourteen of these. Speakers from different professional backgrounds and fields of knowledge related to the role of the printed image as a means of communication were invited to participate in the symposia and the subsequent compendium. This variety is reflected in the different thoughts, ideas, and views on the role of image in literature that encourage the reader to analyse and consider other perspectives. The book champions the view of illustrated literature as a graphic and visual literary genre in its own right. The book aims to open the reader’s critical eye towards the use of illustrated literature to convey meaning and stimulate the reader’s interpretive skills.

The following article presents physical exercises and the theoretical-praxiological model for singers’ warm-up. The purpose of this paper is to streamline the warm-up for entertainer singers by using PPAT means. The development of technical and interpretive skills, implementation of PPAT relevant to the field and their improvement throughout the activity are some of the most important concerns of each entertainer singer. The complex method of physical and vocal training includes body gymnastics exercises, exercises of the muscular systems that participate in the emission of sound and vocal exercises. Complex exercises are recommended for maintaining mental and physical qualities, improving general motor skills and phono-articulatory movements. These are basic not just for the development of sound emission, but also for the prevention of the so-called professional diseases. The creative development of PPAT for future specialists has a benefic effect on intellectual, emotional-volitional and practical activity. The means, methods and forms of PAPT are aimed at optimally meeting the requirements of the educational, professional, social and daily life spheres of vocalists. PPAT, as a training factor for singers, includes the following: the greater the motor experience and perceptions of the vocalist are, the more perfect the coordination of movements determines a good physical training, the faster the new action is developed, because man can previously create a preliminary model of any motor act in his mind and reproduce it quickly. The essence of PPAT is the optimal use of resources, methods and forms of physical training, in order to achieve and maintain mental and physical qualities. The artistic activity of a vocalist has possibilities to integrate the influence on his spiritual growth and, in particular, on the improvement of his personality. It is important that the specialist in the field acts with interest, with a sufficient degree of independence, in other words creative, and the creative approach to actions is the basis of education.
