Since 2015, the project Sprachalltag II has been running at the Institute of Historical and Cultural Anthropology in Tübingen. In addition to the final processing of the Sprachatlas von Nord Baden-Württemberg (SNBW), begun in 2009, and the creation of a popular, online Sprechender Sprachatlas von Baden-Württemberg, the goal is to research and digitize the extensive material of the Arno-Ruoff archive for further linguistic and ethnologic studies. This project in particular includes the transcription and alignment of the dialect recordings collected by Ruoff and Bausinger since 1955 for the so called Zwirner corpus as well as the publication of the edited texts in a database in cooperation with the IDS Mannheim. After researching mainly on the morphological and syntactic level of the corpus, the project now also enables phonological examinations of the spoken language throughout the federal state of Baden-Württemberg and the area of Bavarian Swabia via the database. This report will introduce the nature and extent of the hitherto edited recordings in more detail and show how, in the sense of a cross-disciplinary collaboration, Empirical Cultural Studies can benefit from the content development of the Tübingen corpus. In the course of editing, the transcripted dialect recordings are assigned to thematic categories by using keywords such as leisure or modernization. This includes the means of enquiry of the corpus to a content-related level that can serve the research fields of Historical and Cultural Anthropology.

Ethnic groups have been defined as people who share a common ethos based on ancestry, nation, language and other identity markers. This volume brings scholars from across the globe that have incorporated perspectives from critical and cultural studies in an investigation of what it means to define oneself in an ethnic category and how this category is performed and represented as an ethnicity. The essays in this volume engage the four themes of identity construction, local and transnational politics, appropriation and related exotification, and resistance that are part of the ongoing discourse in the relationship between dance and ethnicity. Cumulatively, the essays in their research approach and methodology document the change that has taken place in dance studies from the ethnic as an easily identified category based on biology and geography to ethnicity as a fluid concept and dance as an active contributor to the creation and negotiation of it.

The Creation

The purpose of the research is to develop a digital platform for creating personalized adaptive online courses that can integrate into the university’s e-learning environment. The Digital Tutor platform is designed to provide the online learning process with tools that allow for the adaptation of the content of the electronic course in accordance with the individual level of student competency through adaptive testing tools in order to achieve the level of student competency established by educational and professional standards.Materials and research methods. The research methodological base consists of methods and technologies of system analysis and knowledge management. Conclusions and provisions of the work are based on the analysis of domestic and foreign literature on the use of digital technologies in education. In preparing the article, materials obtained by the authors during the scientific and practical development of the prototype of the Digital Tutor platform were used to create personalized adaptive online courses at Plekhanov Russian University of Economics.Results. The digital platform for hosting the repository of educational objects and the online courses themselves is available on the University’s information resources with the possibility of integration into the University’s electronic educational environment. The implementation of this project will allow: students and the audience to use educational content prepared on the basis of relevant educational material, as well as to participate in its creation and discussion; to develop more dynamic and high-quality training courses that contribute to the formation of the required competencies among students and the audience; significantly reduce the burden on lecturers when working with remote students, free up more time for updating the training material, the formation of practical and design tasks; implement the concept of personalization of training - the creation of educational material aimed at a particular student; provide support for the creation and updating of their own MOOC; transform the system of continuing education to the requirements and needs of the business; respond ahead of time to the needs of society for qualified personnel for the digital economy.Conclusion. A new model for the implementation of online education has been proposed and tested, which consists in the automatic construction of online courses from the educational objects of the repository in accordance with the monitoring of its activities and a personal trajectory to achieve the required learning outcomes. The concept of transformation of the model of online education is based on the creation of a modern educational based on advanced digital, intelligent technologies. Compared with existing analogues, the project has competitive advantages in the implementation of a new business model of education, based on the availability of a mechanism for automatic updating of educational content and preparing courses on the basis of a repository of educational objects that form the necessary competencies in accordance with the Federal State Educational Standard and approved professional standards.

Мета статті – аналіз та структуризація історіографії основних історико-культурологічних досліджень, що вивчають просторово-образні та технологічні засоби виразності у сценічному мистецтві. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає у вперше здійсненому комплексному міждисциплінарному системному відборі та аналітичному опрацюванні джерел з проблем ролі просторових і технологічних засобів виразності у створенні сценічної образності. Шляхом застосування мультимодального та транссистемного підходів, авторка доходить висновку, що проблеми просторово-образних й технологічних засобів виразності у сценічному мистецтві фрагментарно і з різних ракурсів вивчали як науковці, так і практики театру. Однак на сьогоднівітчизняній науці бракує цілісного культурологічного дослідження з проблем створення сценічної образності просторовими та технологічними засобами виразності.Ключові слова: історіографія, сценічна образність, сценічний простір, технологічні засоби. The purpose of the article is to analyze and structure the historiography of the basic historical and cultural studies that study the spatial-figurative and technological means of expression in the performing arts. The scientific novelty of the research is the first complex interdisciplinary systematic selection and analytical study of sources on the role of spatial and technological means of expressiveness in the creation of stage imagery. Through the use ofmultimodal and trans-system approaches, the author concludes that the problems of space-visual and technological means of expressiveness in the performing arts have been fragmented and studied from different angles by both scholars and theater practitioners. Today, however, there is a lack of comprehensive cultural research on the problems of creating stage imagery by spatial and technological means of expression.Key words: historiography, stage imagery, stage space, technological means.

At the core of this Cultural Dynamics special issue on “LatinX Studies: Variations and Velocities” are new conceptual approaches, epistemological workings, “keywords,” and modes of inquiry that enable us to theorize LatinX Studies and global LatinXness for the twenty-first century. Bringing together different research communities from art, art history, cultural anthropology, cultural studies, geography, history, journalism, and literature, this exploratory undertaking offers a working language on present-day LatinX preoccupations to seize what is happening contemporaneously in light of the field’s “X” and to disseminate it in a usable format like this journal. The volume’s contributors—Jill Anderson, Gloria Elizabeth Chacón, Nicholas De Genova, María DeGuzmán, Rene Galvan, Hilda Lloréns and Maritza Stanchich, Mark Overmyer-Velázquez, and Fredo Rivera—put forward new formulations and models for Latino/a Studies in considering LatinX geographies beyond the Americas; indigenous migrations and cultural production; Miami’s oceanic borderlands; environmental planetary problems and environmental knowledges; LatinX medical subjects; and deported exiles. The breadth of foci herein invites further problematization and dialogue with implications and relevance to other fields.

Though one of the key organizing principles that underpin the current constitution is the creation of a single economic community, the country’s long history of legal transplantation does not necessarily complement this aspiration. This chapter examines how the state-managed developmental enterprise continuously negotiates with the rather ‘foreign’ legal elements, usually to the former’s detriment. The chapter takes a closer look at some of the key elements of the constitution and legal institutions vital for economic growth. Ethiopia’s federal state system together with the developmental state approach can only positively contribute to the creation of a single economic community when some of the key areas in the country’s legal development are revisited to align with its economic development model. The various areas examined in this work demonstrate the dilemmas faced when using law as instrument to achieve economic progress under the developmental state policy of the government in power.

This essay began from a continuity, or perhaps a persistence. Working as historians and cultural critics in very different periods, early modern England and the nineteenth-century countryside, we have both been struck for some years by continuities of behaviour in situations of riot or disorder. At one level this was first pointed to in the work of E.P. Thompson and George Rude in relation to eighteenth-century riot. Both these writers argued that far from riot being a spontaneous, anarchic and random event it was nearly always structured and organised. Thompson in particular introduced, through the notion of ‘moral economy’, the idea that rioters shared ideas about ‘right’ which Were related to an earlier customary social and economic order. From a very different, but equally important perspective, we have both been profoundly influenced by the flowering of cultural studies associated with the work of Mikhail Bahktin, and cultural anthropology growing from the work of Victor Turner and Pierre Bourdieu. In these Writers we found arguments about boundaries and structures which were both erected and transgressed by rituals of various kinds. Finally, a very few historians working on riot and popular disorder have been struck by the same continuity, notably, Michael Beames in his study of Whiteboyism, and very recently, Andrew Charlesworth in the Pages of this journal. This brief essay will seek to illuminate our notion of continuity, using some of these ideas. It is offered not as a definitive piece, but rather as an interpretation of some of these materials.

This article outlines the digital storytelling methods used for a community based research project focused on issues of sexuality among California farmworkers: Sexualidades Campesinas (http://sexualidadescampesinas.ucdavis.edu/). We note how our process of collaboration in the creation and production of digital stories was shaped by the context and our envisioned storytellers. We then offer a critical analysis of our own unique experience with digital storytelling in this project, focusing on a handful of concepts key to understanding the nature of our collaborative production process: community, affect and collaboration, storytelling, performance, and mediation, with an eye to the problem of ethics.
