The purpose of this paper is to describe the third phase of a process drama project, which focused thematically on the social issue of homelessness. Two classes of the elective English Communication course took part in this project twice weekly for ten weeks, in which the students examined homelessness from the perspectives of Japanese-Americans incarcerated in internment camps during World War II. The goal of the project was for students to develop an understanding of homelessness, while simultaneously losing awareness of English as a dreaded examination subject, and using the target language as a viable communicative tool instead. The techniques used in this project were manifold: tableau, family role-play, class role-play, writing-in-role, reaction-writing, research online in both Japanese and English to examine the nature of propaganda, online class discussions, as well as a guest lecturer session with a refugee speaker1. The trajectory of this discussion moves along a traditional Japanese Noh theater three-part narrative arc, called Jo-Ha-Kyu , “Enticement・Crux・Consolidation”.

DOCTOR SIEGAL, members and guests of the Section on Allergy: I accept the Bret Ratner Memorial Medal for Doctor Hill and convey his pleasure and thanks to the Section and the Academy for this honor you have bestowed upon him. It has been my great privilege to have worked under Lewis Webb Hill and to have assisted him for a number of years with seminars and round tables at Academy meetings in many places. No matter where or what the meeting, Doctor Hill left a lasting impression on his audiences. There was always that quality of plain straightforward presentation in clear, concise and unpretentious English that made him such a great teacher. Some of you here will remember that his popularity became so great that when notices were sent out for Academy seminars in allergy to be given by Doctor Hill, they were oversubscribed by telegram. Another incident that stands out in my memory as a testimonial to his attraction as a speaker was some 10 years ago when he was guest lecturer at the annual meeting of the Dermatologists here at the Palmer House. Doctor Hill arrived about 30 minutes before his scheduled appearance and slipped into the back of the main ballroom where the meeting was going on. Seeing only a scattering of people in the huge room, it occurred to him that it hardly seemed worthwhile to come all that distance to speak to a handful. To his amazement, when he was introduced a half hour later, the ballroom was filled.

Both postphenomenology and critical constructivism are central paradigms used as philosophies and theoretical resources at the Master’s program in Techno-Anthropology at Aalborg University. In the fall of 2018 a didactical experiment was set up as Techno-Anthropology Master’s students were introduced to postphenomenology and critical constructivism and asked to compare these two theoretical positions. This comparative assignment and following class discussions between students, a guest lecturer and teachers is the point of departure for this paper. First, the paper introduces Techno-Anthropology with a special focus on the roles of postphenomenology and critical constructivism in the Master’s program. The next part of the paper zooms in on how these two philosophical positions were presented to the students. The third part analyzes students’ comparisons of postphenomenology and critical constructivism. On that basis, the author identifies similarities and differences between the two positions and discusses how the two positions can complement each other in a unified Techno-Anthropological research strategy.

This article provides a detailed account of the year that Michel Foucault spent as Director of the Institut Français in Hamburg and as a guest lecturer at the Romance Studies Department at the University of Hamburg. It discusses the beginning of Foucault’s time in Hamburg, the courses he taught at these two institutions, his interactions with German students in his classes, and events with invited guests from the French intellectual sphere. But it also sheds light on the friendships he made in Hamburg, in particular with Rolf Italiaander; the completion of his own projects including Histoire de la folie and the translation of Kant’s Anthropology from a Pragmatic Point of View; and finally his nocturnal wanderings through Hamburg’s red light district, Sankt-Pauli.

An edited version of a paper presented to the SASP whilst the author was Guest Lecturer at the University of Stellenbosch, this article presents a positive viewpoint about physiotherapy services for elderly people. There is a great deal of challenges, and potential reward, in geriatric physiotherapy, but therapists must be appropriately educated, creative and enthusiastic. A rapidly increasing elderly population, which will include physiotherapists, demands a more active contribution from physiotherapists if unnecessary dependency is to be prevented or ameliorated..

Educators practice performance pedagogy as the method where an educator/facilitator is seen as a performer or actor (Pineau 1994, p. 4). This paper presents an analysis of the historical roots of performance pedagogies in Fluxus pedagogies and performance pedagogy practices within participatory art events in Lithuania as exemplified by festivals AN88 (1988) and AN89 (1989). The case of my research rests on the contemporary implementation of performance pedagogy techniques during the course The Temporary Department of Time, Space, and Action for BA students at the Vilnius Academy of Arts in Lithuania. This research aims to define the concept theories within performance pedagogy in the art academy education, which developed behind the terms Human Semiotics (Andersen 2002), Hyper Performer,1 and InterMedia (Higgins 1984). This project was implemented using the strategy of critical utopian action research in the context of the Vilnius Academy of Arts. The empirical material was gathered during my employment as a guest lecturer and the implementation of my pedagogical internship at the Vilnius Academy of Arts.2These concept theories are defined through. a reflexive analysis of archive material on the historical origin of performance pedagogies, originating in Fluxus pedagogies, local Lithuanian participatory art, and data from the contemporary case of my project The Temporary Department of Time, Space and Action (2018), in the form of archive material, photographs, interviews, observations, notes, and my diary. The results of this research are the application of performance pedagogy concepts and terminology to the art and education projects and the definition of the key concept theories within this field. These results can be useful for artists and those practicing university pedagogy.
