The article deals with the problem of the ratio of documentary and fiction in a special literary genre of non-fiction based on the work “Life after (small stories)” by the philologist V.S. Baevsky. The study of the genre of non-fiction remains relevant for literary studies, and this problem, studied on the material of V.S. Baevsky's prose, has not previously become a subject for study. Within the framework of the proposed research, it is concluded that the documentary accuracy of historical events, geographical names, and the appeal to real personalities reflected in the work do not deny the artistic authenticity of the work. At the same time, the facts of history, personal biography of the author and his relatives are organically woven into the verbal fabric of the narrative. The family is presented against the background of the most important historical events (war, evacuation, perestroika), which indicates the inextricable connection between the fate of a person and the fate of the country. This allows Baevsky, on the one hand, to analyze his life path, on the other - to show a person of a transitional era and the historical reality in which he found himself. In the work, the author actively turns to literary techniques that promote artistic expressiveness and imagery, create an artistic world of “small stories”.

This article explores the ways in which a series of artistic activism groups in the recent history of social protest in Argentina, including Mujeres Públicas, Fugitivas del Desierto and Serigrafistas Queer, linked to the feminist, lesbian and sex-dissident movements, occupied public space and social mobilizations through a set of visual devices and performative actions that can be thought of as forms of queer appropriation of childish imaginaries. Appealing to the critical resemantization of the hetero-reproductive economies inscribed both in the bodily choreographies of popular games and in the material life of the toys they used, these groups mobilized public images through naive affects such as cuteness, tenderness and joy to make visible, interrupt, and also divert the productive scripts of modern sex-politics and instituted notions of politics. --- Este artículo explora los modos en que una serie de grupos de activismo artístico en la historia reciente de la protesta en Argentina, entre ellos Mujeres Públicas, Fugitivas del Desierto y Serigrafistas Queer, vinculados a los movimientos feministas, lésbicos y sexodisidentes, ocuparon el espacio público, y las movilizaciones sociales, a través de un conjunto de dispositivos visuales y acciones performáticas que pueden pensarse como formas de apropiación queer de los imaginarios infantiles. Apelando, entonces, a la resemantización crítica de las economías heteroreproductivas inscritas tanto en las coreografías corporales de los juegos populares como en la vida material de los juguetes que utilizaron, movilizaron imágenes públicas a través de afectos ingenuos como lo lindo, la ternura y la alegría para visibilizar, interrumpir y desviar los guiones productivos de la sexopolítica moderna y las nociones instituidas del acontecimiento político.

Abstract With the gradual development of the times, people’s material life has been greatly improved. All kinds of sports have become an indispensable part of people’s life, but sports are always accompanied by certain risks. People injured by sports show an increasing trend every year. However, it can be found that among many rehabilitation instruments, there is not much research on wrist rehabilitation instruments, which leads to the restoration of bandage splint or plaster fixation in most of the time. These traditional methods have the problems of slow recovery cycle, difficult disassembly and complex replacement. At the same time, most of the wrist rehabilitation instruments that have been developed are large and medium-sized instruments, which can not be carried, can not play a real-time protective role, and can not be well applied to daily life. Therefore, a wearable periodic recovery robot with traditional strap splint, modern transmission and flexible positioning is proposed.

Народное декоративно-прикладное творчество ойратов Монголии выражает этническую ментальность в системе культуры как своеобразную, во многом уникальную форму осмысления мира. Оно формирует традиционное мироощущение номадов, претворяемое в декоративном оформлении произведений прикладного творчества. Здесь фиксируются общее и этнические особенности народной эстетики, образного мировидения монгольских народов. В анализе орнаментального декора предметной среды важно исходить из знаковой сути культурного наследия номадов, концентрируемого в тамговом комплексе, народном костюме и орнаментике. В художественной форме пластического фольклора, передаваемого из поколения в поколение, сохраняются древние архетипы мышления предков, проецируемые во взаимосвязях духовного и материального бытия номадов. Выявление их дает возможность осмыслить декоративно-прикладное искусство ойратов Монголии в традициях, основополагающих для изучения пластического фольклора калмыков России. Folk arts and crafts of the Oirats of Mongolia expresses the ethnic mentality of culture as a kind, in many ways a unique form of understanding the world. It forms the traditional attitude of the nomads, embodied in the decorative design of works of applied art. Here the general and ethnic features of the folk aesthetics, the figurative worldview of the Mongolian peoples are recorded. In the analysis of the ornamental decor of the subject environment, it is important to proceed from the symbolic essence of the cultural heritage of the nomads, concentrated in the tamga complex, folk costume and ornamentation. In the artistic form of plastic folklore, passed down from generation to generation, the ancient archetypes of the ancestors' thinking are preserved, projected in the interconnections of the spiritual and material life of the nomads. Their identification makes it possible to comprehend the decorative and applied art of the Oirats of Mongolia in the traditions that are fundamental for the study of the plastic folklore of the Kalmyks of Russia.

The mobilization cycle that began in October 2019 represented a crucial moment in the Chilean democratic trajectory. What began as a protest for the rise of 30 Chilean pesos in the Santiago Metro, quickly took on national demand as the horizon exceeded that specific bid, and became a systemic and structural criticism of the democratic institutions and the constitutional, economic, social and cultural structure inherited from the dictatorship. This social awakening in October not only implied transformations associated to material life. Also the conceptual and theoretical tools that were used to understand social phenomena from spaces of intellectual exercise, such as universities were modified. One of these categories is precisely space and territory, which from the nineties with supported and growing socio-environmental movements, was installed in the repertoire of popular demands. A dimension that was also strongly glimpsed in the October protests: the defence of territories as spaces for life. Based on this, a two-dimensional journey is proposed, first a theoretical conceptual debate and on the other hand a historical approach dealing with the emergence of the concept in recent Chilean history, with the interest of understanding a socio-territorial and historical dimension of what happened in October 2019.

This thesis explores disassembly as architectural expression and liberator of components for reuse and recycling in order to diminish material waste when the building is deemed obsolete. It questions that contemporary buildings be built for permanence, but proposes instead that they be able to be modified and taken apart in order to provide material for the next generation of buildings instead of the landfill. It examines the history and theory of joints and connections in architecture and the possibilities these offer for disassembly. It examines production and construction methods pertaining to disassembly and reversible joints, as well as the implications of an architecture that strives to express its construction and material being. Principles of disassembly and component reuse are established through the study of temporary, prefabricated, modular, and waste-as-material precedents. The principles are utilized in the design project, which aims to create an architecture expressing the assembly of parts in addition to the whole while significantly contributing to a reduction of material waste.
