Subjectivation, Modernity, and Hypermodernity

Modernity is an action, a work (deed) that transforms the relation between a human group and its environment. The notion of “subjectivation” is the way I define human societies’ discovery and their creative capacity. Meanwhile the nation/states’ withdrawal into themselves, the closure of the borders to the full scope of globalization, and the acceptance or refusal of migrants become the central issue of all sociopolitical conflicts, replacing the previous labor-based conflicts that have been at the core of the industrial society. Sociological analysis today addresses the fundamental issue: What is the future of democracy? The answer lies in criticism visà- vis the idea of states and institutions as agents of democracy, and the assertion of a social definition of democracy.

3D Scanning/Printing: A Technological Stride in Sculpture

The creation of innovative tools, objects and artifacts that introduce abstract ideas in the real world is a necessary step for the evolution process and characterize the creative capacity of civilization. Sculpture is based on the available technology for its creation process and is strongly related to the level of technological sophistication of each era. This paper analyzes the evolution of basic sculpture techniques (carving, lost-wax casting and 3D scanning/printing), and their importance as a culture footprint. It also presents and evaluates the added creative capacities of each technological step and the different methods of 3D scanning/printing concerning sculpture. It is also an attempt to define the term “material poetics”, which is connected to sculpture artifacts. We conclude that 3D scanning/printing is an important sign of civilization, although artifacts lose a part of material poetics with additive manufacturing. Subsequently, there are various causes of the destruction of sculptures, leaving a hole in the history of art. Finally, this paper showcases the importance of 3D scanning/printing in salvaging cultural heritage, as it has radically altered the way we “backup” objects.

The creativity of the adolescent manifested in the theater workshop

During the period of development of adolescents, each and every one of the processes that make them undergo constant changes, it is necessary as an educational institution to provide a space for them to identify with their peers, and in turn, allow them to manifest their skills, abilities and attitudes. We propose the space of the theater workshop as the appropriate environment for students to manifest their creative capacity, encouraging its strengthening, to later materialize in a staging, this can range from the generation of dialogues for a play, the creation of characters, to the construction of scenarios and objects that should appear in each scene. The importance of the fact that students can learn in a meaningful way within an artistic environment is emphasized, in addition to contributing to the formation and consolidation of a positive self-perception as an individual, student, artist and social subject.

Uso de la robótica educativa como medio para favorecer la creatividad en la educación no formal

En la actualidad asistimos a cambios sociales y tecnológicos que requieren una restructuración del sistema educativo, donde no se prime solo la educación formal, sino también la no formal, la que se lleva a cabo en el tiempo libre. Los menores, en estos ámbitos, también desarrollan habilidades y capacidades que les ayudan a mejorar sus competencias y a prepararse para el futuro. Una de las herramientas que se encuentra en auge para desarrollar las competencias básicas en los menores y, sobre todo, la competencia digital, es la robótica educativa, entendida esta como un proceso creativo basado en el ensayo-error, donde se utiliza la tecnología para interaccionar entre la sociedad, la ciencia y la propia tecnología, a través de la construcción, manipulación y programación de robots. En esta investigación se pretende aportar evidencias empíricas sobre el aumento de la capacidad creativa en niños y niñas de 1. º, 2. º y 3. º de primaria que participan en un proyecto no formal, de ocio y tiempo libre. Para ello, se llevó a cabo un taller de robótica educativa donde los menores construyeron y programaron sus robots, con el programa WeDo 2.0, de Lego Education. Para comprobar si había habido cambios en la creatividad de los participantes se utilizó la prueba CREA, antes y después del taller. Los resultados obtenidos muestran un aumento significativo de la creatividad en los menores, aunque, debido a la pequeña muestra de este trabajo no podemos generalizarlo para el resto de la población. Nowadays we are witnessing social and technological changes that require a restructuring of the educational system, where not only formal education prevails, but also non-formal education, which is carried out in free time. Children in these areas also develop skills and abilities that help them improve their skills and prepare for the future. One of the tools that is booming to develop basic skills in minors and, above all, digital competence, is educational robotics, understood as a creative process based on trial-and-error, where technology is used to interact between society, science and technology itself, through the construction, manipulation and programming of robots. This research aims to provide empirical evidence on the increase in creative capacity in boys and girls in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade of primary school who participate in a non-formal project of leisure and free time. For this, an educational robotics workshop was held where the children built and programmed their robots, with the WeDo 2.0 program, from Lego Education. To check if there had been changes in the creativity of the participants, the CREA test was used before and after the workshop. The results obtained show a significant increase in creativity in minors.

The Cambridge Handbook of Lifespan Development of Creativity

This handbook focuses on the development and nurturance of creativity across the lifespan, from early childhood to adolescence, adulthood, and later life. It answers the question: how can we help individuals turn their creative potential into achievement? Each chapter examines various contexts in which creativity exists, including school, workplace, community spaces, and family life. It covers various modalities for fostering creativity such as play, storytelling, explicit training procedures, shifting of attitudes about creative capacity, and many others. The authors review research findings across disciplines, encompassing the work of psychologists, educators, neuroscientists, and creators themselves, to describe the best practices for fostering creativity at each stage of development.

TERMINOLOGY AND STRATEGIES FOR GENERATING TERMS IN THE AMAZIGH LANGUAGE- ABOUT A UNIFIED AND STANDARDIZED AMAZIGH LANGUAGE-

It is self-evident to say : there is no mobility of language without the kinetic of the term because it is the backbone of scientific language and the mainstay of its technical and procedural concepts. And as the sciences, arts, and technologies were constantly developing and expanding, their idiomatic structures were constantly changing and changing ; Scientific knowledge is always changing, and its change takes a kind of "accumulation", by adding the new to the old, and then the scope of knowledge is constantly expanding. If many thinkers accept the parallel between language and thought, it may happen that the linguistic development does not keep pace with the intellectual development, so the terminology will have to generate special terms to name the new concepts. The term, then, is an ancient and modern topic; It is archaic as long as it dates back to the beginnings of the formation of culture represented in original sciences for which there was a need to create a formal conceptual apparatus of its own, and it is a modern topic, because the need for the term has become more urgent in all types of contemporary thought, especially in the Amazigh linguistic thought, which He found himself suddenly in front of a scientific civilization invading him with its sciences, techniques and literature, and inviting him to consolidate his terminological structure, so that he would be at the level of the current challenges and keep pace with the many transformations taking place in the global intellectual arena. And then this study seeks, through exhuming some of all the global idiomatic generation strategies as a result of the idiomatic generation, to contribute to the workshops of standardizing the Amazigh language and its standardization, by preparing the ground for the enrichment of the various archaic and semantic fields. It has a wide production capacity and a great creative capacity in the process of generating terms, and it can sort new Amazigh linguistic units at a level of great accuracy and clarity.

Assessing the creative capacity of planners within the GTA

Given the assertion that planners exist within a restrictive environment that inhibits their ability to maximize creativity within their profession, this paper investigates what these restrictions are, and how municipal planners deal with them to maximize creativity. To do this, the opinions and experiences of ten currently practicing planners from municipalities within the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) are presented. Findings suggest that barriers to creativity can be attributed to four main categories: provincial legislation; corporate standards and regulations; internal culture/leadership: and resource limitations. They also indicate that individual creativity often occurs on a small scale, in a manner that allows for the gradual and incremental overcoming of restrictions.
