Roskilde Festival is the largest Danish music festival and provides an empirical basis for a discussion of the relationship between the social and aesthetic in contemporary cultural events. With the unfolding of the concept of social aesthetics, it becomes clear that the aesthetic potential of the festival is not limited to what is going on “on-stage”, but unfolds throughout the festival landscape. Based on ethnographical observation and phenomenological analysis of two different experience positions: “the panorama” and “the performative mass”, it is discussed how participation unfolds in the socio-aesthetic landscape of the festival. Through a review of the mass as an aesthetic phenomenon it is discussed how the aesthetic of participation succeed in transcending the dichotomy between subject and object ultimately leading to an aesthetic of dissolution.

The article discuses the dimension of reflexivity within the work of the social theorist Pierre Bourdieu. It alludes to the provenance of Bourdieu’s theory of practice and the epistemology, which underpins it. Language is a key element in reflexivity, the article therefore outline’s Bourdieu approach to language and the significance it holds in the development of his key concepts, as well as the relationship between subject and object. Reference is made to the works of Habermas, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and others to offer a ground base in just what Bourdieusian reflexivity is and how it operates in practice. Phases and stages in methodology are referred to as well as how reflexivity should operate within them. Finally, the significance of the discussion is underlined with reference to consequent outcomes.

This research aims to investigate the possibilities of event visitors being persuaded to purchase tickets by music festival advertising on social media. Music festival and social media in general were chosen to be analyzed in two major areas: advertising formats and persuasion. Moreover, general perception towards music festival advertising on social media and the relationship between social media advertising with tactics were examined. The main objective of this research was to investigate the relationship between the use of social media advertising and the purchase of music festival tickets. To investigate the analysis of how consumers perceived music festival advertising on social media and the possibilities of being persuaded to purchase the festival ticket, a quantitative offline questionnaire method was adopted and applied. It was identified that general perception toward music festival advertising on social media is positive. Furthermore, it was found that being persuaded by social media advertisement to purchase music festival ticket is positive as well. The findings of this study concluded that consumers might be persuaded to purchase the music festival ticket although different conditions were applied to the social media advertising.

Abstract Objective: To understand the biographical situation of relatives of alcoholics living in rural areas admitted to a general hospital. Method: Qualitative research, with an approach based on the Phenomenological Sociology of Alfred Schutz. We performed interviews with 15 relatives of alcoholics hospitalized for treatment. The collection took place between August 2015 and July 2016. The information was organized from the phenomenological analysis of Schutz, which resulted in three concrete categories. Results: The concrete categories were: “The lived experiences of the relatives of alcoholics: alcohol consumption in the social world of relatives of alcoholics”; “Face-to-face relationship between relative-alcoholic: overload, illness and estrangement”; and “Reasons that led the relative to take care of the alcoholic”. Conclusion and implications for practice: We identified the repetition of the family history of alcoholism; the clinical picture of the alcoholic interfering with the relationship between the family members, bringing consequences for the whole family group; and the care provided to the alcoholic motivated by affective bonds, moral aspects, as well as by the fact that the alcoholic maintains a good social coexistence when sober. We noted the need for nursing to foster family participation in care actions, strengthening it to cope with the inherent difficulties of interactions, thereby contributing to healthy face-to-face relationships between alcoholics and their relatives.

Ethical Project

The literary projects of the novelists Erico Verissimo and Artur Carlos Maurício Pestana dos Santos, known as Pepetela, affiliate themselves with the tradition of social intervention literature, in the same manner as it was configured in the 20th century, as they comprise an ethical project faithful to their world views and their social and human commitments, which isintensified by the aesthetic project that accompanies it. In this sense, there are ideological and aesthetic affinities between the two novelists with the confluence, on the ideological plane, of the humanist ideology and the social and human commitment that both present in their literary projects, and on the aesthetic plane, of the similarity between the narrative structures of their founding novels (the trilogy O tempo e o vento, by Erico Verissimo, and Yaka and Lueji, by Pepetela), due to the fact that the two writers use common themes and narrative strategies, such as the family saga, metafiction, counterpoint narrative technique and polyphony. Thus, we believe that the ideological affinity between Pepetela and Erico Verissimo led the Angolan writer to incorporate into his literary project some thematic and formal elements used by the Brazilian, according to the concept of intertextuality by Julia Kristeva (1974), who conceives the writing of a literary text as a reading of the preceding corpus. However, the relationship between them is based not only on the similarity in their common traits, but also on the differences that exist between their works and between their literary projects.

Home Visit Europe by Rimini Protokoll is a performance without performers, only an audience taking part in a game in a private home. As such, it is one example of the partici­patory strategies that currently have a strong presence in contemporary theatre practices changing how we, as audience, engage with theatre. It is emblematic then that ‘participation’ is an emergent concept in theatre and performance studies with a rapidly growing body of work on the topic. This article sets out to explore how the idiom of the popular can shed light on some of the central issues in the discourse on participa­tion: that is to say, the relationship between the artist and the audience, author­ship, and the relationship between the aesthetic and the social dimension of partici­patory work. I will be using Home Visit Europe in the context of Bergen Interna­tional Festival of 2015 as a case study, drawing on an audience research approach com­bined with a critical reading of the work. The conceptually stringent and tightly ordered dramaturgy of Home Visit Europe, where the audience take turns responding to a set of questions and tasks, demonstrates how problematic the concept of participa­tion can be to describe theatre practices, as the term risks overstating the influence that the audience have over the aesthetic product. In this sense, contemporary participa­tory strategies resemble popular theatre’s conflict between established aesthet­ics, critical standards and popular grounding. A resemblance that brings the paper right to the core of the discourse on participation, which concerns the ideological ramifications of the ‘participatory turn’.

Este artigo apresenta e particulariza o conceito de “mediação” como empregue por Adorno ao longo de sua obra filosófica e crítica. Desenvolvendo a discussão a partir do problema da cultura na sociedade contemporânea, retomam-se considerações do filósofo sobre o dilaceramento da linguagem entre o aspecto social da comunicação e uma noção enfática (e dialética) de verdade. Neste quadro, em que se privilegia o tópico da “não-identidade” da Arte, discute-se também a correlação entre a literatura e a possibilidade de, tomando como modelo a atenção à “dignidade estética das pala-vras”, superar aquele dilaceramento no sentido da comunicação da diferencialidade.AbstractThis article focuses on the concept of "mediation" as used by Adorno throughout his philosophical and critical work. Starting with his discussion about culture in contemporary society, the paper examines his reflections on language as a process lacerated between the social aspect of communication and an emphatic (and dialectic) notion of truth. In a dialectical framework that privileges the motif of the "non-identity" of Art, I discuss the relationship between literature – as the model for the "aesthetic dignity of words" – and the possibility of overcoming that laceration in the sense of communicating differentiality. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14195/2182-8830_1-1_9

Art As Research

In 1979, the Chilean artist Alfredo Jaar staged his first public intervention in the context of military dictatorship. His inquiry on states of happiness anticipated a working method that Jaar has been following since. In taking Studies on Happiness as an early example of social aesthetics, this article will show that the work itself is not only seen as the product of making (poïesis), but that the process itself is seen as the embodiment of knowledge, the dwelling and outcome of an intended action. However, this action is not simply an act in the everyday (praxis), but as an intended action it is intelligent in itself and calls for the practical wisdom of acting (phronesis). As soon as the project includes a relational process and forms of participation, both in nature of unforeseeable outcome, the aim is no longer the production of a (common) object; rather, it is the social relation itself, established through the aesthetic or “boundary” object that puts into action the relation as well as the reflection on the conditions of its becoming. We will assess how play and phronesis can mediate between research and art by creating a situational knowledge, that is both critique and contributory: a research in the open.

In this response to Terence Keel and John Hartigan’s debate over the social construction of race, I aim to push the discussion beyond the terrain of epistemology and ideology to examine the contested value of racial science in a broader political economy. I build upon Keel’s concern that even science motivated by progressive aims may reproduce racist thinking and Hartigan’s proposition that a critique of racial science cannot rest on the beliefs and intentions of scientists. In examining the value of racial-ethnic classifications in pharmacogenomics and precision medicine, I propose that analysts should attend to the relationship between prophets of racial science (those who produce forecasts about inherent group differences) and profits of racial science (the material-semiotic benefits of such forecasts). Throughout, I draw upon the idiom of speculation—as a narrative, predictive, and financial practice—to explain how the fiction of race is made factual, again and again.
