Aesthetic Practice

In 1969 Werner Heisenberg presented a paper at a symposium initiated by the Karajan Foundation in Salzburg. The theme of this symposium was the ‘significance of modern scientific knowledge—in medicine, physiology, and physics—for art, music, pedagogy and aesthetic practice.’ Heisenberg’s paper was titled “The Tendency to Abstraction in Modern Art and Science.”1. Heisenberg dissembled, preferring to avoid an approach from a technical point of view, in favour of a consideration of principle, or of a “philosophy of culture”, in order to ask whether certain tendencies in modern art, at times strange or incomprehensible, might have some parallel in the form of similar phenomena in modern science. Heisenberg was not concerned with specific forms or techniques of contemporary aesthetic or scientific practice, but with what he described as their “overall shape”. It is an interesting position, not because it afforded Heisenberg a necessarily new or privileged insight, but because unlike most discussions of the relations between art and science it did not proceed in a hegemonic manner wherein one discipline annexes and establishes sovereignty over another. In Heisenberg’s query scientific procedures did not circumscribe or annex art (as mere illustration, exemplar or ornament) and aesthetic practices did not circumscribe and annex scientific data (as argument, justification, evidence or authority). Neither was he overly concerned with an equanimity or symmetry in the relationships of these various disciplines; he was interested in certain affinities, the possibility of common grounds, in science and art as they are practised. . . .the step towards greater generality is always itself a step into abstraction—or more precisely, into the next highest level of abstraction; for the most general unites the wealth of diverse individual things or processes under a unitary point of view, which means at the same time that it disregards other features considered to be unimportant. In other words, it abstracts from them.2 It is in this context that I will situate my remarks on certain affinities and differences between scientific and aesthetic practices, by considering the possibility of their common ground in terms of abstraction, technics, and capture, (i.e., what it is that is purported to be captured, secured or preserved, in order to be represented).

This article, shaped by the author's interest in convergences between art and science, presents scientists and philosophers of science who explore that convergence. However, since their expertise lies in science, they each speak from a principally scientific point of view. In fact, a common ground that emerges among them is an overt interest in point of view, which takes the form of examining the modeler's investment in and engagement with the model. Each speaker finds some potential there, rather than limitations. Since artists tend to project their subjectivity explicitly into their work and also to be aware of how the forms or media they use influence the representations they make, the interviewees' approaches to modeling do offer points of connection between art and science.

The Relationship

This issue of Science in Context presents a sampling of current work by art historians examining modern artists' engagement with science as well as the relationship of photography to both science and art. The essays' topics span the mid-to-later nineteenth century to the 1960s and, thus, in a series of case studies provide an introduction to aspects of artistic modernism. Indeed, it is impossible to understand fully many of the radical innovations of modern art without some knowledge of an artist's cultural context, and developments in science have often played a critical role in defining that milieu. Collected together, these essays also represent methodological models of historical work on art and science that serve as useful examples in this developing field.

Resumo: Este trabalho analisa os resultados obtidos durante a realização de uma sequência didática interdisciplinar, que contemplou saberes das ciências e da arte, na formação docente de pedagogos. As atividades, realizadas no segundo semestre de 2015, contaram com a participação de 19 estudantes do curso de Pedagogia do Centro Universitário Franciscano e das professoras de Ensino de Ciências e Ensino de Arte, totalizando 36 horas aulas. Inicialmente foi apresentado um vídeo, seguido de uma apresentação explorando os dados científicos apresentados. Com base nessas informações, cada aluno escolheu uma espécie vegetal e investigou aspectos inerentes às ciências e a arte dessa planta. A sequência culminou com a apresentação de camisetas, estampadas com os carimbos produzidos a partir das informações científicas pesquisadas pelos estudantes acerca das plantas escolhidas. Os resultados apontam que os estudantes, ao escolherem apenas partes dos vegetais com utilidade estética ou alimentar, apresentam uma visão utilitarista da ciência. Em relação aos conhecimentos da Arte, destaca-se que, ao utilizarem diferentes linguagens da arte, como os desenhos, as formas e as cores, os alunos exercitaram a observação e descrição criteriosa de um objeto, neste caso as plantas. Deste modo, a sequência didática desenvolvida permitiu interlocuções entre Arte e Educação, pois sendo uma ação interdisciplinar entre Ciência e Arte, articulou pesquisas sobre as plantas e a linguagem da xilogravura, contribuindo para o desenvolvimento do olhar crítico dos estudantes de Pedagogia acerca da natureza e da arte. Palavras-chave: Ensino de Ciências. Ensino de Arte. Proposta didática. Interdisciplinaridade.SCIENCE EDUCATION AND ART IN TEACHER TRAINING: AN ANALYSIS OF AN INTERDISCIPLINARY PROPOSALAbstract: This paper analyzes the results obtained during an interdisciplinary didactic sequence, which included science and art knowledge, during the teaching training of pedagogues. The activities were carried on in the second half of 2015 with the participation of 19 undergraduate students of University Center of Pedagogy Franciscan and Science Teaching teachers and Art Education, totaling 36 hour classes. Initially a video was presented, followed by an explanation, exploring the scientific data studied. Based on this information, each student chose a plant species and investigated its aspects from a scientific and artistic point of view. The sequence culminated in the presentation of shirts, which emblazoned the stamps produced from the scientific information researched by students about the chosen plants. The results show that students, while selecting only parts of the plants with cosmetic or food use, demonstrate a utilitarian view of science. Regarding the knowledge of art, it is emphasized that when using different art languages, such as designs, shapes and colors, the students exercised observation and careful description of an object, in this case the plants. Thus, the developed teaching sequence allowed dialogues between Art and Education, as being an interdisciplinary action between science and art. Also, it articulated research on plants and the languages of woodcuts, contributing to the development of the critical eye of Pedagogy students about the nature and art. Keywords: Science Education. Art Education. Proposal didactic. Interdisciplinary.

В статье рассматривается значение трех главных «ударов», которые, по утверждению З. Фрейда,  современная наука нанесла по представлениям человека о себе и своей роли во Вселенной. Показано, что  разработанная   автором   двусистемная   и   многоуровневая   «Личностно-ориентированная   концепция  счастья»  (ЛОКС)  не  только  выявляет  скрытые  доселе  смыслы  предыдущих  научных  «ударов»,  но  и  наносит новые. С учетом современных научных данных ЛОКС обосновывает и развивает идеи Ч. Дарвина  (второй «удар» человечеству) и  взгляды З. Фрейда (третий «удар»), чем усиливает значение обоих – точно  так же, как учение Фрейда в свое время подчеркнуло силу открытий, сделанных Дарвином. Теоретическая  конструкция  ЛОКС  оказывается  способной  объяснить  причину  болезненного  восприятия  предыдущих  открытий  современниками,  универсальный  эгоизм  которых  стал  более  очевиден.  В  то  же  время  продемонстрированы и сохранившиеся возможности традиционных взглядов, не поддающиеся в настоящее  время аргументированному научному опровержению.     The article under consideration analyzes the meaning of the three great «blows»,  which the modern  science, in Z. Freud’s opinion, has given to people’s main beliefs about themselves and their role in the Universe. It  is shown that the dual system and multilevel «Person-Oriented Conception of Happiness» (POCH) elaborated by  the author not only discovers the meaning of the previous blows, but produces new ones. Taking into account  modern scientific data, POCH substantiates Ch. Darwin ideas (the second blow to human vanity) as well as Z.  Freud views (the third blow). Thus POCH strengthens both of them - as well as Freud’s discoveries strengthened  Darwin’s theory at a certain time. The theoretical construction of POCH is able to explain the causes of the  negative attitude towards the abovementioned discoveries by the contemporaries, whose universal egoism became  more evident. At the same time, the author shows the preserving possibilities of the traditional views, which cannot  be refuted from the scientific point of view nowadays.

Do immigrant faculty trained in American higher education institutions adopt the outlook and practices of native US scientists and engineers (“convergence”), or do they diverge from such practices? The modern science paradigm holds that location will not matter significantly and that immigrants in either place will converge to a common standard of scientific practice. Drawing upon 134 in-depth interviews, this paper compares the scientific practices of two groups of Indian immigrant faculty in science and engineering: (i) those who studied and worked in the United States and then returned to India and (ii) those who continued to work in the United States. This paper shows that the two groups differed in important ways: ease of securing grants, management of grants, research environment, professional autonomy, and research type.

This article is devoted to historization of scientific practices as one of the central points in problem field of modern science studies. The subject of our article is scientific observation as one of the epistemic practices. Historization of scientific observation in modern scientific studies is possible, because of material practices and social relations begin to problematize in the scientific field. Science is no longer characterized only by a propositional order of representations. It is an assemblage of connections and relations between different agents and network of things, people and practices. This network is complexly arranged and branched, but in the same time it is coordinated in a certain optics and it is producing the visual closure to constructed object. This new optics, that makes visible the material and routine practices, puts in a new way the task to understand, how to work with heterogeneous and historically changeable field of practices and different “ways to do science”. There is a rethinking of the self-evident epistemic categories and particularly scientific observation. As an epistemic genre and scientific practice observation begins to take shape relatively late – only in the XVII century, when there is a complication and multiplication of practices of production of the visual images, that are making concrete from abstract and visible from invisible. To historicize scientific observation is to show how it has become a self-evident epistemic category and an integral scientific function. Scientific observation can be historicized as a set of practices that emerged and spread throughout a particular historical period, on the one hand, as practices of production, coordination, presentation and description of observational data. And on the other hand, it can be historicized as practices of production of “scientific self” as instances of observation. This article attempts to show that observation as a practice and as historically varied object of science is characterized, on the one hand, by the production of “that is visible” and, on the other hand, by “scientific self”.

Kate O'brien

Convergences in the work of Kate O'Brien and Virginia Woolf range from literary influences and political alignments, to a shared approach to narrative point of view, structure, or conceptual use of words. Common ground includes existentialist preoccupations and tropes, a pacifism which did not hinder support for the left in the Spanish Civil War, the linking of feminism and decolonization, an affinity with anarchism, the identification of the normativity of fascism, and a determination to represent deviant sexualities and affects. Making evident the importance of the connection, O'Brien conceived and designed The Flower of May (1953), one of her most experimental and misunderstood novels, to paid homage to Woolf's oeuvre.

The Face

The article is devoted to the study of the worldviews and social contradictions in Russian society on the example of two different positions on the relationship between religion and science. According to one of these positions these relationships are defined as conflict. The second, opposing point of view says there never was and there cannot be any conflict between religion and science. In the publication such points are called “the paradigm of conflict” and “the paradigm of dialogue”. It shows, the first “paradigm” in the Soviet period of Russian history was determined by ideologization of science and was an important part of anti-religious propaganda. On the contrary, “the paradigm of dialogue” has always been represented primarily by religious thinkers. Today it is the official position of the Russian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. The official Church document “The Basis of the Social Concept” says religion and science are designed to complement each other, especially in solving ethical problems that inevitably arise in the face of modern science. However, secular scientists often see in such statements the Church’s claims to active participation in the public life, including the educational process. Representatives of the academic community often speak out against the introduction of the theological educational programs and the theological departments in secular Universities of the Russian Federation. Thus, in contemporary Russian society some continue to believe that there is a conflict between religion and science, while others insist on the need for dialogue.

Аннотация: Исследование проблемы фольклоризма является наиболее актуальной в современной науке о фольклоре. На разных этапах развития художественной литературы для формирования индивидуального творчества писателя особенно значимым становятся фольклорные жанры, сюжетные мотивы и художественные средства. В статье рассматривается связь письменной литературы и фольклора, особенно точка зрения проблеме фольклоризма в прошлом и их анализ. Термин «фольклоризм» начал использоваться советскими исследователями учеными как научный термин еще в 1930-х гг. Термин «фольклоризм» используется в различных сферах культуры, а в этой статье мы будем рассматривать в литературе. Несмотря на то, что на протяжении многих лет этот вопрос изучается литературоведами, фольклористами, все -таки нет единого теоретического определения понятия. Ключевые слова: фольклор, фольклоризм, литература, культура, письменная литература, художественная литература, оседлый народ, пословицы и поговорки, фольклорные песни. Аннотация: Көркөм адабияттын өнүгүүсүнүн ар кайсы баскычтарында сүрөткердин жеке чыгармачылыгынын калыптанышы үчүн фольклордук жанрлар, сюжеттер, мотивдер жана көркөм каражаттар айрыкча мааниге ээ.

Oriented Approach

Modern science and practice does not have a sufficient set of cost management tools, taking into account the duration of the production cycle, characteristic of agricultural activity. The implementation of a cycle-oriented approach to building a model of production costs was based on studying the existing options for classifying production costs, which were supplemented with features from the perspective of managing long production cycles. As a result of the study, a model of production costs was built from the point of view of a cycle-oriented approach, as well as a model of production costs from the standpoint of features of a long production cycle. The model can serve as the basis for the formation of the information space of cost management, control and cost analysis in the economy of agricultural enterprises.
