Abstract Employing a comparative method, the present study explores the Renaissance expression of Jozef Ciller’s Shakespearean scenographies. Based on an analysis of preserved archival material (scenographic proposals, photographs from productions, video recordings, reviews, etc.) and personal communication with Jozef Ciller, the author examines how he transposed general features of European Renaissance (visual arts, architecture) into individual scenographic solutions. The author’s analysis also aims to identify how Ciller worked with the architecture and scenography of Elizabethan theatre Renaissance and observe his work with Renaissance elements depending on whether a scenography was meant for indoors or outdoors. The author concludes that Jozef Ciller employs Renaissance elements as motifs to preserve the awareness of man’s Renaissance spirit and greatness.

The study The Shakespeares of Jozef Ciller tackles the Renaissance manner of the expression in the topic defined by its title using historical and comparative analyses. The author of the study analysed the way the scenographer projected general attributes of the European Renaissance (visual art, architecture) into specific theatre productions based on the remaining archive material (stage designs, production photographs, video recordings, production reviews and similar) and personal communication with Jozef Ciller. The analyses also contain the identification of the transfer of the architecture and the scenography of the Elizabethan theatre Renaissance. Another line thanks to which the scenography for Shakespeare has been traced is the analyses of the Renaissance elements according to the location of the scenography – whether it was aiming for interior or exterior space. The scenography of Jozef Ciller elaborates on characteristics of renaissance exterior and interior architecture or creates, by its means, a new theatrical reality.  Even the original dramatic reality often works with motives of plays in the renaissance Elizabethan style: the space of the stage and the auditorium is united through an active display for the actors and their presentation. Such approach is typical for Ciller’s scenography in general, not just for Shakespeare’s plays. The result of the study is the that Ciller uses Renaissance (theatrical and nontheatrical) elements as motives while retaining the awareness of the Renaissance spirit and greatness of human beings.

Practical Implications

This paper explores 3- to 6-year-old children’s orientations to the video camera in video recordings of everyday family interactions. Children’s orientations to the video camera in these recordings were identified and analyzed using the constant comparative method. Types of orientations to the video camera included talking about the camera, engaging in camera-directed talk and/or action, and interacting with the camera. In some cases, these orientations occurred after a parent or sibling first oriented to the video camera; however, in other cases no prior orientation was evident. Theoretical and practical implications of the results are discussed.

Selection Of

When applied to the visual arts the concept of universal availability implies access to a massive and heterogeneous corpus of visual and archival material as well as printed texts. Achieving full bibliographic and iconographic control will be an enormous undertaking and may eventually become counterproductive. Universal availability also supposes the widest possible popular access to art, despite doubts sometimes expressed about the effects of overexposure. Community libraries have a special responsibility towards the general public’s visual education through targetted selection of printed and visual resources and through the encouragement of local art initiatives.

The present paper identifies the specific features of the conflict between Madrid and Catalonia and its significance for the European Union. The Catalan conflict serves here as an example of the regionalism processes in the European Union. The author defines the conflict as postmodern, which determines the novelty of the research. The research employed integrated scientific methods. The comparative method was used to compare the economic, social, cultural, and political positions and aspects of Catalonia and Spain; the method of actualization was used to describe the situation taking into account the specifics of the region; the method of structural analysis was used to study the content of the conflict. The authors applied the systemic approach since the structure of the Spanish political system is extremely complex. Analytical expert articles, news reports, and video recordings were used as an empirical research base. As a result, some features of the conflict in the postmodern world were revealed and exemplified by the Catalan crisis.

The Aesthetic

This article examines W.B. Yeats's role in the design of the Irish Free State coinage that was introduced in 1928. From 1926–28, Yeats served as chairman of the committee charged with soliciting and selecting designs for the first Irish coins produced since 1822. The article documents unpublished correspondence from Yeats and archival material that elucidates the deliberations of the coinage committee as well as the poet's wider ideas about the visual and material culture of the new Irish state. The unsuccessful designs by international artists provide insights into the aesthetic debates and intentions behind the coins, connecting Yeats's A Vision (1925) to his account of the deliberations, printed in the government's Coinage of Saorstát Éireann (1928). The final section turns to Yeats's poems about coins where he conceives of the coin as a visual arts medium of portraiture or as a durable talisman, recording and transmitting ancient myths to modern times.

The Impact

This paper reports on the compositional processes of an Italian rock band whilst composing a new piece over seven group composing sessions. The band members were videotaped during the group composing sessions in their rehearsal room. A qualitative analysis of the video recordings was performed using the Constant Comparative Method. In the analysis, 59 different behaviours emerged, which were subsequently reduced into 13 categories. When analysing the categories, five themes (activities) were defined. The five activities were: context definition, experimenting, constructing, playing and evaluating. The activities were employed as a coding technique for time coding the videotaped data, which revealed the time percentages spent by the musicians in each of the group composing activities. Results from the joint qualitative and percentage time analysis indicate the importance of the strategies adopted by the musicians during group composing. The results are discussed by taking into account the impact of the processes employed in a group composing setting as well as suggestions for future research. The implication for music education involves the possibility to apply approaches based on the development of cognitive processes rather than the product of collaborative composing activities.

The first account of mating in a myodocopine using evidence from video recordings is presented herein for Skogsbergia sp. (Cypridinidae). After initial courtship the male and female ostracods, with ventral margins adjacent and anterior ends directly opposite, join their mandibular claws and furcae. Both furcae are pushed in a posterior direction until the ventral margins of the carapace meet. In this position, with genitalia directly opposite, copulation presumably occurs. This mating procedure lasts for five seconds.Myodocopine ostracods are diverse marine crustaceans occurring world-wide at depths from 0–6000 m (Kornicker, 1975). All myodocopines reproduce sexually (Cohen & Morin, 1990). Some bioluminescent cypridinids (Myodocopina) use luminescent signalling during courtship; males produce species-specific patterns of flashes in the water column to attract females (Morin, 1986). Although myodocopines may be amongst the most abundant macroinvertebrates on the continental shelf (J.K. Lowry, personal communication), they have been the subject of relatively few behavioural studies, and in particular their copulation process is poorly documented (Cohen & Morin, 1990).Two accounts of myodocopine mating have been reported. In 1914 the cypridinid Vargula hilgendorfii (Muller, 1890) was observed mating in a Petri dish (Okada & Kato, 1949). The male clasped the female using the first antennae while swimming with the natatory second antennae. After 30 to 60 min they rested on their lateral sides, with ventral margins touching and heads facing in opposite directions; the penis (lying between the paired copulatory ‘limbs') was protruded into the female carapace and the spermatophore was transferred. This copulation lasted more than 30 min (Okada & Kato, 1949).

The Relationship

In this study, it is aimed to examine the job satisfaction and burnout of visual arts teachers in terms of some variables. Based on the causal comparative method; job satisfaction and burnout of visual arts teachers were compared according to variables such as gender, age, marital status, professional seniority and school type. In addition, the relationship between job satisfaction and professional burnout of visual arts teachers was tried to be explained with correlational research design. The sample of the study consists of 308 visual arts teachers working in Ankara, Istanbul, Konya, Mersin, Eskisehir and Sanliurfa. The Maslach Burnout Inventory and Minnesota Job Satisfaction scales were used to collect the research data. According to the findings of the research, job satisfaction and burnout of visual arts teachers show significant differences according to gender, marital status, professional seniority and school type. In addition, there is a significant but negative relationship between visual arts teachers’ job satisfaction and burnout.

Regional Histories

The essays brought together in this volume consider the reuse of antiquities and conceptions of the classical past in local communities across early modern Europe. Arising from a conference held at the Warburg Institute in November 2014, the volume brings together essays by speakers, as well as new additions by invited contributors. It unites work by historians of art and architecture, historians and literary scholars that complicates the notion of a unitary, Greco-Roman past revived in a single European ‘Renaissance’, broadening the scope of research in the light of recent interest in regional histories and local antiquarianisms. Adopting an interdisciplinary and comparative method, these essays investigate how communities and individuals from the fifteenth century, guided by local concerns, were engaged with the invention of the past through the strategic, creative use of texts and images. Contributions consider the revival of the antique not only in the so-called centres of Italy that have long been the focus of study, but also in cities and regions regarded as peripheral, examining diverse political contexts in both Protestant and Catholic Europe – Milan, Ancona, southern Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Britain, the Low Countries and elsewhere. As interdisciplinary studies, the essays explore a range of related cultural phenomena: antiquarianism, civic histories, excavations, artistic and architectural projects, collections of antiquities, or the reuse of classical literary models in vernacular poetry....

Constant Comparative Analysis

This paper presents the basics of the constant comparative analysis and discourse analysis methods to research in virtual worlds.  Our data sources include video recordings of in-world class interactions; artifacts and documents such as students’ blog, and asynchronous discussion postings.  For data analysis, we use the constant comparative method as a tool for inductive analysis, and discourse analysis as a tool to discover patterns in discursive practices. The constant comparative method was originally developed for the use in grounded theory methodology, but is now more widely applied as a method of analysis in qualitative research. It requires the researcher to take one piece of data and compare it to all other pieces of data that are either similar or different, gradually identifying the salient differences. In contrast, discourse analysis examines the way in which sentences are combined in larger linguistic units, such as conversational exchanges or written texts. The critical analysis of discourse helps us extend and specify themes generated during constant comparative analysis.
