(Discussion based on the materials of the defense of T. A. Mirvoda’s PhD thesis “Poetics of a modern children’s “scary” narrative in oral tradition and the Internet”)Within the framework of the conversation, the article discusses psychological background of the emergence and existence of scary stories in the modern online space which are being accompanied with audio-visual objects and ritual practices, which on a par with the oral folk art of similar themes form the network mythology of horrors (the creepypasta). The principles of genre stratification of children’s «scary» narrative folklore and the creation of a corresponding index of characters and plots, as well as the differentiation of scary stories and evocations, proposed in the dissertation research by T. A. Mirvoda, are highlighted.

Phd Thesis

Crowdsourcing is a paradigm of outsourcing work that is done using human capabilities through the Internet. Given the various possibilities of overcoming cultural and social barriers, crowdsourcing provides an opportunity for people with disabilities to have a financial compensation and help them feel realised. In crowdsourcing, people with disabilities face problems related with the lack of task description or usability. This article it is presented the main threads for my PhD thesis which main goal is to prove, that it is possible to map crowdsourcing tasks effectively to each individual, focusing particularly on the cognitive abilities.

The Creation

The distribution of sexually graphic or intimate images of individuals on the internet without their consent is on the rise in Uganda. Several female celebrities and lesser-known individuals have fallen victim to this phenomenon in recent years. This article examines the civil and criminal remedies currently available to the victims. The article argues that these remedies are insufficient to deal with the challenge posed by the non-consensual distribution of these intimate images in the online environment and argues for the creation of a new law that specifically addresses this issue.

The article deals with such a modern phenomenon of culture and art — as performance. The purpose of this study is to determine the performative features as characteristics of modern artistic creativity and their influence on the development of folk culture. The tendency for turning to ritual, ceremonial types of folk art, whereby the communication is put forward, is considered on the example of the creative activity of the folklore ensemble "Rosstan". The article notes such performative characteristics as the creation of an event and atmosphere, space and communication organization, the interaction of the audience, that provide conditions for perception and response. The author relies on the works of such scientists as: E. Fischer-Lichte, V. Turner, A. Ya. Flier, L. N. Zakharova, L. V. Demina and others. In the process of studying following methods were used: generalization, comparison and also dialectical, historical and logical once. Modern features in folk culture, expressed in the interaction of traditional and innovative folkloristics are revealed on the example of the creative activity of "Rosstan". The revival of folk culture, the realization of its creative potential is possible through the development of cultural traditions and the creation of innovations related to ancient ritual forms of interaction, which should be adapted to the present and be understood by modern generation.

Village Life

Хорватское наивное искусство, зародившееся в небольшом селе Хлебине, неотделимо от обрядности, без которой невозможно представить течение деревенской жизни. Яркие и декоративные работы крестьянских художников крепко спаяны не только с народным искусством, но и с самим сельским бытом, с его ритмично повторяющимися циклами. В картинах хорватских живописцев особое внимание уделяется изображению различных семейных и календарных праздников. Прослеживаются в творчестве хлебинской школы и элементы архаических обрядов, сохранившиеся в культуре южных славян. Традиционные для хорватской деревни ритуалы не могли не оказать влияния на художников, они послужили плодородной почвой для создания яркой подстекольной живописи. Связь наивного и народного искусства по мере углубления в проблематику становится всё более и более явственной. Мышление хорватских наивных художников архетипично в том смысле, что под определенными образами и темами их творчества есть глубокая мифологическая основа: угадывается целый комплекс смыслов, присутствует ощущение первозданности природы и хрупкого слоя крестьянской цивилизации. Обращение к образам и символам земледельческих обрядов и праздников - это не просто дань традиции хлебинской школы, это внутренняя потребность выражения себя в этой вечной для художников, живущих на берегах Дравы, теме бытия крестьянского мира. Croatian naive art developed in the small village of Hlebine is inseparable from the rituals of village life. The bright, ornamental works of peasant artists are firmly tied not only to folk art, but also to rural life and its repetitive cycles. In the paintings of these Croatian artists specific attention is paid to the depiction of family and calendar holidays. Traditional Croatian village life has had a strong impact on the artists has served as fertile soil for the creation of bright colored painting. Elements of archaic rituals that are still preserved in the culture of the South Slavs may be seen in their works. The connection between naive and folk art becomes clearer as we delve deeper into it. The thinking of Croatian naive artists is archetypal in the sense that a deep mythological basis underlies certain images and themes of their work. A complex of meanings may be intuited; there is a sense of primeval nature and the fragile layer of peasant civilization. The appeal to images and symbols of agricultural rites and holidays is not just a tribute to the tradition of the Hlebine school; for artists living on the banks of the Drava it derives from an inner need to express themselves in these eternal themes of the peasant world.

Emerging from a partnership between the Master’s Degree in Design from ESMAD (Escola Superior de Media Artes e Design, Instituto Politécnico do Porto) and Arquivo Municipal da Póvoa de Varzim, the project Uma Lide de Cartazes, consist in the creation of animated posters as an improved form of advertising, inspired by the materials gathered from the archive.This study is centered around the concept of new technologies and media to enhance the static nature of traditional bullfight posters. Handles technologies as augmented reality, animations and the internet to achieve new interactive and dynamic ways to engage aesthetics and convey information. The results indicate that the use of animation dynamically changes the poster layout elements and informations captivating the viewer as well as changing the poster message. The changes can be viewed by anyone using a smartphone and with the help of augmented reality app, such as Artivive.

Non-cisgender and non-straight identity language has long been a site of contention and evolution. There has been an increase in new non-cisgender, non-straight identity words since the creation of the internet, thanks to social media platforms like Tumblr. Tumblr in particular has been host to many conversations about identity and self-naming, though these conversations have not yet been the subject of much academic research. Through interviews and analysis of Tumblr posts, this thesis examines the emergence of new identity words, or neo-identities, used by non-cisgender and non-straight users of Tumblr. The work presents neo-identities as strategies for resisting and challenging cisheteronormative conceptions of gender and attraction, as well as sources of comfort and relief for non-cisgender/non-straight people who feel ‘broken’ and excluded from mainstream identity categories. This thesis also posits that Tumblr is uniquely suited for conversations about identity because of its potential for self-expression, community, and anonymity.

Main Factor

Technology has advanced to the point where it is now possible to create and distribute digital multimedia recordings of class lecture over the Internet to remote learners. More importantly, the price of this technology has decreased to the point where it is also affordable to most instructional institutions. The main factor limiting its widespread use is the knowledge required to setup and apply the technology. This article attempts to alleviate this situation by providing a detailed design for a multimedia-enabled classroom. The design includes components, physical layout, and pricing considerations. It concludes by profiling an actual implementation of the design and discussing future research plans that take advantage of the unique capabilities provided by the room.

Social movements are interested in the creation of alternative social practices, but must rely upon previous ideas and actions for a starting place. Ideally, anarchists seek to borrow good ideas and avoid bad ideas. This is challenging given anarchist movements’ horizontalist structures—tactics and organizational forms must be transmitted non-hierarchically in order to remain legitimate, as there is not central organization managing, authorizing, and dictating to new anarchist organizations. They key means for institutional isomorphism—how organizations tend to have comparable characteristics—with anarchist movements, is mimicry. This chapter analyses the creation and founding iterations of four “anarchistic franchise organizations”: Anti-Racist Action, Critical Mass, Earth First!, and Food Not Bombs. These tactics and organizational forms have spread through networks of activists and organizers (mainly via word-of-mouth and first-hand experience) and media (especially the Internet, as well as activist press and sometimes mainstream media).

The Creation

We are immersed in a culture of spoken media, written media, and – like it or not – screen media. Just as writing and speaking skills are keys to functioning in society, we must consider that the future increasingly demands proficiency in “mediating” as well. Doing anything less leaves this powerful medium in the hands of a relative few. By offering instruction in what screen media is, how it is created, how it relates to other literacies, how the internet is changing it, and how this all informs everyday teaching and learning, the Rosebud Institute seeks to make screen media literacy more broadly understood and accessible. This chapter follows a program developed by the Rosebud Institute and looks at how – using simple, accessible technology – people can become more screen media literate by creating digital films and ePortfolios themselves. Developed along with Rosebud’s program manager, Christine Wells, the creation process enables deeper, more authentic learning, allowing us all to communicate more effectively, to self assess more reflectively, and to thrive in a screen-based world.

Digital Media Literacy

We are immersed in a culture of spoken media, written media, and now irrevocably, digital screen media. Just as writing and speaking skills are keys to functioning in society, we must consider that the world increasingly demands proficiency in “mediating” as well. Doing anything less leaves this powerful medium in the hands of a relative few. By offering instruction in what digital screen media is, how it is effectively created, how the Internet continues to alter communication, and how this all informs everyday teaching and learning, digital media literacy can become more broadly understood and accessible. This chapter follows a program developed by the Rosebud Institute and looks at how—using simple, accessible technology—people can become more digital media literate by creating screen products themselves. The creation process also enables deeper, more authentic learning, allowing us all to communicate more effectively, to self-assess more reflectively, and to thrive in a screen-based world.
