Technological education has moved away from material understanding. It will be initiated as these formal indicators that can be applied in the world surrounded by technological content. These technological objects have become the indispensable production material of the artist. In the rich material world of art, artists continue to surprise the audience with the interesting materials they use. Each material has its own characteristics. In this rich world of objects, light as an art production material has attracted the attention of some artists. This research focuses on examining how light is used in art production and its reflection on works of art from a plastic point of view. Readings were made on the works of artists who use light with a plastic understanding. Thus, it has been seen that light is used as a conceptual and visual artistic expression tool. Keywords: Art, Object, Light

By sharing their world, humans and other animals sustain each other. Their world gets determined over time as generations of animals act in it. Current approaches to psychological science, by contrast, start from the assumption that the world is already determined before an animal’s activity. These approaches seem more concerned with uncertainty about the world than with the practical indeterminacies of the world humans and nonhuman animals experience. As human activity is making life increasingly hard for other animals, this preoccupation becomes difficult to accept. This article introduces an ecological approach to psychology to develop a view that centralizes the indeterminacies of a shared world. Specifically, it develops an open-ended notion of “affordances,” the possibilities for action offered by the environment. Affordances are processes in which (a) the material world invites individual animals to participate, while (b) participation concurrently continues the material world in a particular way. From this point of view, species codetermine the world together. Several empirical and methodological implications of this view on affordances are explored. The article ends with an explanation of how an ecological perspective brings responsibility for the shared world to the heart of psychological science.

This book considers the history of aesthetics by taking into account not only theories of the arts but also the rich fabric of practices relating to the world of performing bodies onstage and the music that sounded alongside them and was made by them—the works of art, music, and theater that were conspicuously about art-objecthood. The introduction sketches the broader fashion for animated statues described in the book, asking what readers can hope to gain from a detailed account of this historical phenomenon that was situated at (or near) the emergence of modern aesthetic thought, as well as the birth of a musical canon.

Software is philosophical. Software is designed by people who have been influenced by a specific understanding of the way objects, people and systems work. These concepts are then transferred to the user, who manipulates that software within the parameters set by the software designer. The use of these rules by the designer reinforces an understanding of the world that is supported by the software they use. The designer then produces works that mimic these same philosophies instead of departing from them. The three axes of these philosophies are analogy, reductivism, and transferred agency. The effects on computer-based artistic expression, the training in digital art production, and the critique of art are evaluated in this chapter. Tensions between the dominant scientific approaches and the dominant artistic approaches are also defined as destructive and constructive practice respectively. The conclusion is a new critical perspective through which one may evaluate computer integrated creative practice and inspire fresh creative composition.

This article is a reflection on the specific character of religious assertations and religious arguments. The basic point of view is that these religious practices should not be investigated as isolated religious phenomena sui generis, but on the contrary, that they are conditioned by and derived from common linguistic and epistemological practices that relate to the concrete material world. Religious assertations join together finction and description of the world, whereas religious arguments refer todata which are either quasi-empiric (a holy scripture  for instance) or quasi-public (a mystical experience for instance). in four text examples these derivations are investigated in the light of a two-component definition of religion, which stresses the concept of an essential difference as well as the concept of a possibility of a passage to an fro between essentially differenct categories.

Pets in Three Models of Folk Description of the WorldThe goal of the paper is to show how three models of the world co-exist in folk narrations about pets. Identified in accordance with the methodology of the Lublin Słownik stereotypów i symboli ludowych (‘A dictionary of folk stereotypes and symbols’), the three models are: the mythological (inherited from the Proto-Indo-European and Proto-Slavic past), the religious (biblical, Judaeo-Christian), and the colloquial (common-sense, pragmatic). The author also speculates whether it is possible to connect the individual models with specific genres of folklore. The basis for the analyses is the rich material covering contexts from the end of the 18th to the beginning of the 21st century, which comprises three types of data: lexicographic, folkloristic, and ethnographic.

To think of choreography as a theorization of identity allows for a conception of movement in which bodies are more than the object of theory; bodies become the active subject, the Merleau-Pontian point of view in the world in which they move. Bechdel choreographs memory structurally through the complex relationship between chapter title panels and the chapter contents. Another way in which Fun Home embodies the act of remembering is through the myriad interactions Bechdel the creator has with Alison the character in the text. Multimodal narrative makes this type of interaction visible to the reader. “Dancing with memory” in Fun Home means traversing narrative lines where much of the meaningful dialogue between past and present becomes visible only through the relationship between text and image. Multimodal narrative allows for creators and audiences alike to witness from the outside in more explicitly the implicit affective responses to the very act of remembering through storytelling. Some of the most potent instances of embodied reading in Fun Home are those in which we see Bechdel the creator in dialogue with Alison the character. Excavating past selves to follow the trajectory of past movement is part of the work of autobiography and artistic expression of memory. The textual and visual choreography operates on multiple temporal levels, and through multiple modes of communication. Reading a graphic memoir is an embodied performative act. Considering the ephemeral nature of performance alongside the ephemeral nature of memory in Fun Home illuminates new ways of understanding both.

The art is inextricably linked with the material and the process. The material is rapidly changing with the advancements of the modern technology, and it changes and refreshes people's views on the art. Many artists have realized that the material is not just a medium of artistic expression, but the language of the art. The modern art, not limited to the only way of presentation through the traditional material, conveys the artist's view of life and the world through the integrated use of materials combined with modern ideas and concepts, which has made the language of the material itself being cultivated and transformed. Hence the works of art are in great vitality through the release of the material's own natural force and creativity.

D.S. Merezhkovsky’s play “Romantics” (1917) rarely attracts a researcher’s interest, although it is a notable attempt to revisit the rich material on the family history of the Bakunins contained in A.A. Kornilov’s work “Mikhail Bakunin’s young years. From the history of Russian romanticism” (1915). Merezhkovsky’s “bookishness” in the play is apparent in the creation of the idyllic image of Pryamukhino, where he relied on Kornilov’s book and composed a stylization, in which he handled “someone else’s” text and “point of view”. The stylization is reflected in the “estate topos”, which acts as a decoration for the characters’ intellectual aspirations. Coupled with intertext and mythopoetics, it establishes a myth of the intelligentsia’s religious communality, which Merezhkovsky had been developing in his fiction and public writings of those years. These have common motives of paradise, sacrifice, celibacy, unconscious Christianity, duality, detachment. The properties of the “estate topos” in “Romantics” are such that, on the one hand, it is related to the source, while on the other hand each of its elements is integrated into a particular sequence identifiable by its purpose in “estate” literature. This purports to reflect the reality, but is actually the reflection of its reflection; it binds the events to a concrete time and space, yet also affirms the idea of a timeless, universal realization, which is in line with Merezhkovsky’s mythopoetic creative consciousness.

<p>The aim of the article is to look at the identity of an old woman on the example of works by Anna Świrszczyńska, which were compared with selected paintings. It was emphasized that the specificity of the poet’s artistic creation, her way of presenting a woman’s point of view to all phenomena and feelings, did not lead to the negation of male reality, but constituted its complement. The intended interdisciplinary nature of discourse is justified by the belief that the diversity of linguistic message multiplies the strength of art’s influence, empathically orientates recipients to the uniqueness as well as the individuality of the subject’s existential relationship with the world in works of art.</p>

From the point of view of technology, of travel, and transportation the world is a much smaller place than it used to be only thirty years ago. This process of physical shrinkage which has been going on for quite some time does not show any signs of slackening. The same is true of communication of ideas, dissemination of knowledge, and the exchange of persons and of works of art and literature.
