Debates around authenticity within photographic discourse are persistent. Some have revolved around documentary photography, while other discussions focus on the ethical validity of digitally edited news photographs and indeed the photographic medium itself. This article proposes that discussions around ‘authenticity’ should be focused instead towards contextualising photography more appropriately within the creative practice of ‘making strange’. It acknowledges existing debates around photography and authenticity, before locating the discussion within creative practice. It then moves to a discussion, using Robert Capa’s ‘Falling Soldier’ (Capa, 1936) as a starting point, before drawing on examples from the author’s own creative and professional practice. In the process, the article argues that visual researchers embrace the challenges of making the familiar strange within photographic creative practices.

An Unstable Discipline. Journalism Studies & the Revolution in the Media An Unstable Discipline. Journalism Studies & the Revolution in the Media During the last decade media and journalism have got into turmoil; landslides have changed the traditional media landscape, overturning familiar marking points, institutions and patterns. To understand these radical changes journalism studies should not only develop a new research agenda, but also review its approach and perspective.This article looks back on recent development in the field and argues for a more cohesive perspective, taking journalism as a professional practice as its starting point. Furthermore a plea is made for a thorough research into the structural changes of the public sphere and the role and position of journalism.

The Social

Inventing the Social, edited by Noortje Marres, Michael Guggenheim and Alex Wilkie, showcases recent efforts to develop new ways of knowing society that combine social research with creative practice. With contributions from leading figures in sociology, architecture, geography, design, anthropology, and digital media, the book provides practical and conceptual pointers on how to move beyond the customary distinctions between knowledge and art, and on how to connect the doing, researching and making of social life in potentially new ways. Presenting concrete projects with a creative approach to researching social life as well as reflections on the wider contexts from which these projects emerge, this collection shows how collaboration across social science, digital media and the arts opens up timely alternatives to narrow, instrumentalist proposals that seek to engineer behaviour and to design community from scratch. To invent the social is to recognise that social life is always already creative in itself and to take this as a starting point for developing different ways of combining representation and intervention in social life.

O artigo discute a necessária articulação, na formação em Psicologia, entre os ideais de fazer prático, científico e o compromisso ético-político, tomando como ponto de partida a contradição expressa no progresso do esclarecimento: todo objeto da cultura e da ciência também contém elementos de barbárie. A formação em Psicologia é destacada porque a grande diversidade de matrizes epistemológicas que a compõe não impediu que a categoria estabelecesse um compromisso por consubstanciar direitos humanos na atuação profissional, reconhecendo o potencial de barbárie da aplicação da ciência psicológica. Procura-se identificar em que sentidos os direitos humanos foram lidos pela categoria dos psicólogos e como isso pode se refletir em estratégias para lidar com as contradições da ciência psicológica em um momento de crise dos valores relacionados aos direitos humanos e à formação.    Human Rights in Psychology Education: between science and political commitment The article discuss the necessary articulation, in Psychology education, between different ideals of practical, scientific and ethical-political commitment, taking as a starting point the contradiction expressed in the progress of enlightment: every object of culture and science also contains barbaric elements. Psychology training is highlighted because the great diversity of epistemological matrices did not prevent the category from establishing a commitment to consolidate human rights in professional practice, recognizing the barbaric potential of the application of psychological science. It seeks to identify in which senses human rights were read by the category of psychologists and how this can be reflected in strategies to deal with the contradictions of psychological science in a time of crisis of values related to human rights and training.

Starting Point

This article uses a 1974 study of doctor–patient communication from Christopher Candlin, Clive Bruton and Jonathan Leather as a starting point to trace how miscommunication, misunderstanding and communication failure have been treated in the applied linguistics of professional practice since then. The study helps us notice the tension between seeing miscommunication as a problem of skills, and seeing it as part of a situated process in a wider context of institutional practices. In reading the literature on misunderstanding through this 1974 study, I focus on how the act of miscommunication is identified, who sees it as a misunderstanding, what is at stake and how an event, labeled as a misunderstanding, is retold in a new context.

Reflection constitutes a way of turning our experience into learning. A reflective journal will successfully link the theory with personal experience through an interactive interpretation of reflected knowledge. My background experience as a trainee teacher for a boy with mild learning disabilities in my placement was about an incident related to Sex and Relationships. This occurrence constituted the starting point of my personal learning experience. Knowledge is the “weapon” you can use to overcome any barriers and evaluate actions and relationships. This essay focuses on the sexuality and the provision of Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) that children with Learning Disabilities (LD) receive in countries around the world and the objectives of SRE. Moreover, children with LD, through the benefits of adequate education, can recognise their sexual identity, fight for their needs and rights and eliminate undesirable consequences. Lastly, this assignment will support my professional practice that will not only try to ameliorate children’s educational lives but also empower my teaching skills in any similar situation in the future. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0729/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Difficult Question ◽  
Starting Point

That so very difficult question about “truth”, frequently posed in relation to both autobiographical artefacts and documentary photography, is no doubt the key query concerning Alice Austen’s whole oeuvre. Taking that question as a starting point for discussion, this article explores Austen’s autobiographical and documentary work as part of the same strategy, since Austen’s autobiographical photography “documents” the life of New Women and the class that she belonged to. But if her autobiographic production is documentary, why not consider her documentary work autobiographical? The article works on this hypothesis by engaging canonical autobiography texts and exploring how watching an event may mean becoming part of the event itself.

Village Life

In 1988, HTV made a series of programmes about a Somerset village called Luccombe. Their starting point was the Mass-Observation survey carried out over forty years before and described in Exmoor Village. No mention was made of the larger project - the ‘wholesome’ British export, for which the survey and perhaps even more importantly, the photographs, were commissioned. The difficulties of producing and reproducing fine-quality colour photographs at that time, however, suggest that the social investigators and the photographer were pursuing widely differing goals. The different approaches of social documentary photography and pictorial photography may not be obvious in a beautiful print, embedded in an anthropological text, but the use of photographs, which were essentially reconstructions of idealised village life disguised as documents, indicates how much importance the Ministry of Information attached to exporting the image of the wholesome, ‘traditional', English rural community.

I professionsuddannelser arbejdes der med refleksioner og arbejdsformer, der på forskellig vis sammenkæder teoretisk viden med viden om praktisk handlen. Alligevel problematiseres transferværdien af læringen fra professionsuddannelserne, idet det har vist sig, at der kan være lang vej fra viden om teori og handlen til faktisk handlen i en ofte meget kompleks konkret praksis.I denne artikel diskuterer vi med cases fra et forsknings- og innovationsprojekt i sygeplejerskeuddannelsen, hvordan teknologistøttet simulationsundervisning (i form af bl.a. inddragelse af programmerbare manikiner) kan fungere som sted for translokationer mellem den teoretiske viden, den professionsfaglige handlen og refleksioner herover.Abstract in EnglishIn order to link theoretical knowledge with action in practice, professional bachelor programs employ various methods of teaching and diverse approaches aimed at promoting students’ reflective thinking. Still, the transfer value from the learning outcome in the professional bachelor programs to professional practice is discussed. Thus, it has been shown that knowledge about theory and action is not automatically operational for supporting actual action in the professional practice that is often very complex.Using cases from a research- and innovation project in nursing education as a starting point, we in this paper discuss how technology enhanced simulations (including the use of programmable mannequins) can function as translocations between theoretical knowledge, professional action and reflections concerning both.

Abstract The following paper adopts the vantage point of a linguistic ethnographic approach to news production, focused on the process of quoting, and combined with narrative analysis. The starting point of the analysis is an account given by a person who lived through a dramatic event. The paper investigates how the processes of recontextualization affects the account during the making of a broadcast news story. It explains how and why news practitioners adjust stretches of talk to the news text they are producing, and it reveals to what extent a pre-existing version of what happened (that of the account) can be reshaped by one in the making (that of the news story in which the account is going to figure). In the case study, the processes of recontextualization relates to three narrative issues: (1) quoting involves adapting the account’s characters’ categorizations to those of the news story; (2) quoting entails choosing between different schemes of incidence that depict what happened slightly differently; (3) quoting asks for a delimitation of the account’s spatiotemporal parameters that corresponds with those of the news story. Such a narrative adjustment is neither a tightly planned nor an arbitrary process but is embedded in the professional practice as it unfolds in the social and material world.

The Future

Background. Taking Klabbers’ call for a coherent game science as a starting point, we argue for an alternative way to approach the multidisciplinarity of research into games. Aim. Building on game studies and design research, this article reviews the history and forecasts the future of studying games. Application. All scholars of games could benefit from an awareness of the works of other game scholars in different traditions. The plurality of approaches towards games is an intellectual strength, even if it is difficult for a single scholar to maintain a holistic grasp on research relating to ‘games’. The multitude not only describes the disciplinary traditions reflecting the wider phenomenon of games and play, but also games as creative practice. Demonstration. While the article is theoretical in nature, we use real-world examples to illustrate and ground the argumentation. For example, a key challenge identified here is that the realm of games and their influence, the ludosphere, is expanding too rapidly for any single researcher to keep up with it. Conclusions. We invite game scholars to cultivate a stronger awareness of the multitude of research into games to better position their own work in a larger context.
