The aim of the article is to define tendencies in the transformation of expressive and stylistic means in the Japanese landscape photography of the specified period, based on the analysis of archives of the Japanese landscape photography of the 1900s–1920s. Results. A stylistic transformation of the landscape genre, as well as a passing from the documentary fixation to expressive artistic solutions during the 1900s, are revealed on the example of Kurokawa Suizan’s works. A stylistic stabilisation of the landscape genre which started acquiring moderate expressiveness in the 1910s is grounded. Implementing small-format cameras in the 1910s is analysed using the example of Makoto Yoshino’s creativity, which has contributed to the compositional means’ expansion. The onset of stylistic shifts in the landscape genre during the 1920s under the influence of Constructivist tendencies is revealed on the example of Okubo Koroku’s practice. Scientific novelty. For the first time in the Ukrainian art history, an analysis of the transformation of expressive and stylistic means in the Japanese landscape photography of the 1900s–1920s is conducted. The European pictorialism assimilation and its synthesis with traditional Japanese painting is traced in the aspect of Kurokawa Suizan’s creativity in the 1900s. Materials concerning the influence of Constructivism on the landscape photography development in the 1920s are applied in the scientific circulation. Conclusions. The transformation of expressive and stylistic means in the Japanese landscape photography during the 1900s–1920s highlights a complex interplay between traditional aesthetics, European artistic influences and technical innovations. The 1900s were marked by the adaptation of the European pictorialist principles and their synthesis with the aesthetic basis of monochrome suiboku-ga painting, which led to the formation of a specific arsenal of expressive means. In the second half of the 1920s, under the influence of the Constructivist movement, active experiments with the compositional organisation of the frame and figurative expression means are observed. So, over the course of the 1900s–1920s, the Japanese landscape photography evolved from documentary fixing into an autonomous artistic direction that synthesised Western and national traditions, gradually securing its place in the Japanese cultural discourse.
O texto apresenta uma reflexão sobre o processo artístico na pintura contemporânea, tendo como ponto de partida a prática do caminhar pela cidade de Santa Maria, localizada no estado do Rio Grande do Sul (RS), Brasil. O percurso cotidiano se transformou em método de investigação estética e crítica, a partir da observação do lixo descartado no espaço urbano. Esses resíduos, mais do que restos materiais, são interpretados como signos carregados de significados sociais, históricos e ambientais, sendo ressignificados pela pintura em novas narrativas visuais. Nesse processo, a metodologia articula a caminhada, discutida por Francesco Careri (2013), e a poiética, abordada por René Passeron (1978), como fundamentos que orientam a investigação e a criação artística. O trabalho explora a relação entre arte, espaço urbano e problemática ambiental, propondo uma poética que integra ética, estética e ecologia. Assim, a pintura assume o papel de registrar, transformar e provocar reflexões sobre consumo, descarte e sustentabilidade, revelando-se como um percurso aberto e inacabado em constante diálogo com o entorno.

Aesthetic experiences, emerging saliently in the arts, play a pivotal role in transformative learning and creative processes that elicit physiological, affective, and cognitive responses associated with mental health indices. Interactions between subjects and aesthetic objects (e.g., visual artwork, music, and moving bodies) often entail elements of surprise and uncertainty that drive the inference of the hidden causes in the subject’s internal and external environment. These generate dynamics that align with the action-oriented Predictive Processing framework of brain function. Creative Arts Therapies (CATs) harness these dynamics by cultivating relational engagement using the arts modalities, prompting affective and cognitive processing. In this manuscript, we offer a review and conceptual analysis of recent empirical findings and theoretical premises that underpin aesthetic experiences and their relation to the psychotherapeutic use of the arts with a broad spectrum of populations and mental health conditions. We present a neuroscience-based approach to aesthetic intra- and inter-personal experiences, integrating therapeutic change factors of externalization-concretization, embodiment, and symbolization with functional network configurations, and interpersonal brain-to-brain coupling, to support predictive processing, learning, and creativity. Present and future interdisciplinary collaborations are underlined to elucidate the neurodynamic mechanisms driving psychological transformations, bridging neuroaesthetics and CATs.
This paper analyzes and demonstrates whether SAQ training in martial arts training is more conducive to improving the sensitivity and competitive performance of martial arts players, and uses spss27 software for data processing. The general teaching material of the Department of Physical Education of Wushu puts forward that Wushu takes offensive and defensive fights such as kicking, hitting, throwing, holding, striking, and stabbing as action materials, and compiles various unarmed and equipment routines according to the contradictory laws of offensive and defensive advance and retreat, movement and static slowness, hardness and softness, emptiness and reality. He represents a national form of sport designed to strengthen the physique, cultivate will, and train fighting skills (Wu Dong, 2020). Sensitivity, also referred to as ‘body IQ,’ is crucial and closely related to all sports. Therefore, we should expand innovative training means according to the needs of the times and the principle of adapting to social needs. This paper uses the method of literature, experiment, expert interview, spss27 software analysis expounds the influence of SAQ training methods on the physical sensitivity, which has a great guarantee for the competitive performance of the martial arts majors. Facing the physical and mental health of young people, based on the theory of multiple sources, this paper puts forward the perfect path of wushu training it aims to provide theoretical reference and reference for the scientific training of Chinese teenagers in martial arts, so as to let flowers blossom and the trees grow. In the general provisions of the new Sports Law, the new concepts of “priority development”, “integration of sports and education” and “comprehensive development” of youth and school sports are also proposed, and the chapter name of “Youth and School sports” is used to replace the original “school sports”, filling the gap in youth sports legislation and achieving a qualitative leap forward (Tian Siyuan & Song Yaxin, 2023).
In this article, we discuss the meaning and possibility of convergence liberal arts education in the Anthropocene. This article introduces the development process of the LIBERTY JUSTICE TRUTH Ⅱ, core curriculum at Korea University, and describes the educational significance of PBL and the living lab, which are at the core of the course. The liberal arts education of the Anthropocene should move towards the transformation of social and technological systems for sustainability. PBL is gaining attention as a learner-centered educational methodology, and the ‘living lab’ is emerging as a methodology that expands the social and public role of universities by emphasizing active linkage and cooperation with local communities. The characteristics of the PBL process of the LIBERTY JUSTICE TRUTH Ⅱ course are as follows. First, it implements a student-centered teaching model. Second, it establishes a co-agents model that unites and cooperates through a network of actors with diverse perspectives, knowledge, and experiences. Third, it implements a living lab that solves social problems practiced by learners as citizens and educational subjects. In the Anthropocene, humans need to change their thinking and behavior and their relationships with other living and non-living beings. Since it requires students to think about and put into practice a fundamental transformation of the human condition, the design idea of the LIBERTY JUSTICE TRUTH Ⅱ course embodies the essence of liberal arts education in the Anthropocene. The course, which combines PBL and a living lab, has practical significance as a liberal arts education program for the transformation of contemporary thinking and behavior.
The purpose of this study is to reveal the results of cases where artificial intelligence descriptive evaluation and feedback systems were applied in large-scale online liberal arts lectures at universities. For this purpose, we investigated and analyzed the results and satisfaction of descriptive evaluations conducted by students in the online liberal arts course ‘Understanding Sustainable Development’ taken by 2,600 students at University A. As a research method, frequency analysis and trajectory analysis were conducted to confirm changes in student participation rates, and factor analysis was used to cluster and compare students' narrative evaluation response trends. As a result of the analysis, first, more than 60% of the students who took the ‘Understanding Sustainable Development’ course participated even after the 14th week, and more than 70% of the students participated more than 10 times. Second, the students' evaluation scores showed a similar score range in the first week, but the range of scores increased as the 14th week progressed. In addition, there was a group whose score difference reversed around the 7th week, the midpoint of a semester's lectures, so it was possible to identify both the period and the group in which the students' learning needs to be carefully managed. Third, when looking at students' satisfaction with AI quizzes, 86.6% responded positively regarding their active participation in AI-based quizzes, and 83.1% responded positively regarding the usefulness of AI-based quizzes. Meanwhile, the degree of motivation and expansion of AI-based quizzes into other liberal arts classes was relatively low at positive rates of 52.6% and 61.5%, respectively, but was much higher than the negative rates of 19.6% and 11.8%. Through these results, this study confirmed that the artificial intelligence-based narrative evaluation feedback system that provides feedback to individual students has implications in terms of student learning management and quality management of liberal arts courses. In order to improve learners' learning fidelity and increase their academic retention rate in large-scale online liberal arts lectures in the future, interest in and improvement of the evaluation feedback system is essential, and its use can be expanded to other classes that require descriptive evaluation.
This article defends Digital Humanities (DH) against important epistemological challenges questioning its place within the humanities. It emphasizes that while DH incorporates digital technologies, notably AI technologies, it remains fundamentally aligned with the humanities through its focus on understanding and appreciating the creation of human-made things such as literature, philosophy, and culture. Addressing epistemic critiques of DH’s knowledge characteristics, its supportive roles in research, and the efficacy of its tools, the article advocates an anti-essentialist viewpoint. This approach proposes that DH’s diverse methodologies enrich rather than dilute the humanities. By applying the idea of anti-essentialism, especially Wittgenstein’s notion of family resemblance, to understanding the concept of humanities, the article argues for a broader, more inclusive understanding of the humanities, underscoring DH’s legitimate role in this evolving field.
At the invitation of the Basel Education Committee, the young Nietzsche, who was a professor at the University of Basel, offered five lectures on education. The collection of these lectures is called “On the Future of Our Educational Institutions.” In this lecture, Nietzsche critiqued German schools at the time, particularly their liberal arts education, and proposed alternatives. The goal of this research is to uncover the significance of Nietzsche's view on liberal arts education as presented in his speech, as well as to investigate its applicability and limitations to liberal arts education in Korea today. Chapter II provides an overview of 19th-century Germany relevant to the lectures, Chapter III analyzes the main contents of Nietzsche's view on liberal arts education as demonstrated in the lecture, and Chapter IV investigates the potential of Nietzsche's views in the context of today's universities. Nietzsche identified the problems of mass education caused by education expansion policies, as well as the fragmentation and practicalization of knowledge caused by education diminution policies, and proposed an educational view based on the ‘metaphysics of genius’ as an alternative. Nietzsche saw the purpose and goal of liberal arts education as acquiring a sense of ancient Greece and the ability to think like a Greek in order to create a new German culture. While Nietzsche’s view on the elite education and the ancient Greek culture implicit in his discourses of liberal arts education is difficult to accept for twenty-first-century universities, Nietzsche's point regarding fragmentation and practicalization of knowledge that arise from viewing universities as academic institutions rather than liberal arts institutions allows us to critically reflect on the nature of liberal arts education in today's universities.
This study proposes a teaching model for liberal arts education utilizing site-specific theater and examines its implications. By exploring various theoretical backgrounds and practical examples related to place-specific theater, the course covers a variety of concepts and deepens students' knowledge of theater. Theoretical explorations are followed by practical activities that encourage creative and critical thinking and provide opportunities to exercise the theatrical imagination. Practical activities provide learners with important experiences that allow them to see everyday spaces in a new light and to extend theater to personal and social meanings. There are also opportunities for students to watch and critique the work of other learners and to reflect on their own work in order to consolidate their knowledge and experience and to acquire new questions. The whole process is an educational one that leads to embodied knowledge. This study argues that theater, especially place-specific theater, is suitable content for liberal arts education, promoting learners' creativity and critical thinking skills, and offering another model of practice.
On 6 January 1973, Chilean media artist Juan Downey exhibited <i>Plato Now</i> at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York. A hybrid multichannel video installation and performance, this was Downey’s restaging of Plato’s Parable of the Cave—the “<i>Now</i>” registering what the myth might look like from the vantage of his own historical moment. And whereas Plato’s original operated through an inflexible division between the space of the mind and a derivative sensual reality, <i>Plato Now</i> explicitly sought to blur those philosophical lines by assembling a relay of invisible energies, brain waves, video signals, and telepathic communications, such that the space of mind and sensual reality became speculatively entangled. This article clarifies just how <i>Plato Now</i> did this, and situates its philosophical vision as a significant, if relatively unremarked, aesthetic prefiguration of the new materialist tendencies towards relationality, hybrid assemblages, and vibrant conceptions of energy and matter.

Em 2003, os irmãos Chapman compraram 80 originais de Goya com objetivo de usá-los em sua obra. Este ato polemizou o compromisso que se espera do proprietário, bem como os limites artísticos, em vista que imagens autênticas foram retificadas. Da contextualização do conjunto de gravuras conhecido como os Desastres da Guerra à interpretação da obra Insult to Injury, neste artigo propomos analisar o sentido do ataque que vitimou um dos maiores exemplares da arte. Cumpre informar que foi constatado que subiste sentido no ato nomeado como vandalismo cultural, capaz de potencializar e ressignificar as obras retificadas.
ABSTRACT The field of environmental communication has reached several milestones since the 1990s, particularly the establishment of environmental communication-related divisions at professional associations and the founding of the journal Environmental Communication in 2007. This systematic review characterizes the peer-reviewed literature on environmental communication to date, examining methods, geography, top-cited articles, and analyzing keyword and titles. Drawing on the Web of Science Core Collection, which archives the Social Sciences Citation Index and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index, the review finds that attention to environmental communication has exploded in recent years and that the field is methodologically open-minded. Scholars have shifted focus from general environmental risk to specifically climate change in the last decade. Implications for the field are discussed.
The purpose of this study is to summarize the achievements and limitations of basic general education consulting for junior colleges over the past 4 years, and to suggest improvement plans. The basic consulting for general education at junior colleges, which started in 2018, brought up the conversation topic regarding general education at junior colleges. Also, as general education was included as one of the the basic competency diagnostic evaluation items of junior colleges to be implemented in 2021, junior colleges began to accept general education as a practical task rather than as a superficial object. From 2018 to 2021, 41 junior colleges out of a total of 133 junior colleges participated in the basic general education consulting program, and the participation rate was 30.8%. 11 junior colleges particpated in 2018, 14 in 2019, 14 in 2020, and 7 in 2021. The junior colleges satisfaction with the consulting conducted to date has been quite high, as the students had the opportunity to actually check and improve the status of basic general education through the consulting program. In this study, for the development of basic general education consulting for junior colleges in the future, three things are proposed: First, the expansion of participation among junior colleges, second, quality improvement of the pre-diagnosis report, and third, the implementation of the consent form.

This article seeks ways in which to educate literature as part of the liberal arts curriculum for universities. In response to changes in the university's curriculum and system, this article examined the current status of liberal arts “literature” courses, Also, this article explored the methods used in the teaching of literature courses as basic studies. Literary works have been used as useful teaching materials in early writing education, and classical texts have achieved their goals by utilizing proven literary works. In cultural education, literary works are also used as a primary source and as part of media education. In terms of the university system, the Humanities departments have begun to disappear. Literary education has resulted in a situation in which liberal arts have to take charge, and so now it is necessary to ask questions regarding the identity of literature and to examine the methods of teaching literature education. Before this article discussed the methods involved with literature education as a basic study, we looked at the prior discussions on literature education as liberal arts education. Interest in literature education began in the mid-1980s, and research became active around 2010. Interest in and research on literature education as liberal arts education has also been gradually increasing, and a series of facts suggest the legitimacy of literature subjects as basic studies, along with a willingness to actively communicate with the changed educational environment. In order to better understand the methods of teaching literature education at the university level, this article examined the link between secondary and university education. The current secondary education curriculum was revised in 2015, and both secondary and higher education implement competency education for talent development required by the times, and the ultimate goal is the same. However, since literature must reach the achievement standards designated through textbooks in the middle school curriculum, there is a limit to internalize the literature. Literature education in universities shall take into account the university's talent award and educational goals, but may develop literary skills by maximizing the experience of actively interpreting and enjoying literature through various teaching methods. In liberal arts education at universities, literature courses should be able to capture academic universality and achievements as basic studies. Literature courses should be teach to read the narratives of media that form diverse cultures and cultivate interpretations that can allow our students to discover the value of the times in which they live. The particular language of literature should be understood and the theoretical basis for understanding and enjoying the flow of human history and civilization should be taught through Mimesis (reenactment), narrative and plot, point of view and the speaker, critical methodology, and the literature itself. Through a self-reliant and active interpretation of the work, one should be able to identify the literary principles embodied in the work, and tell what discourse the work has created in the lives of one's contemporaries.
Résumé : Le présent article porte sur une étude menée sur deux groupes d’étudiants à leur entrée à l’Université Pédagogique Nationale de Kinshasa. Face aux préjugés de tout genre consistant à douter du niveau de ceux qui fréquentent actuellement nos universités, nous avons cherché à savoir, à l’aide des tests, si ces étudiants possèdent les aptitudes intellectuelles requises pour les études universitaires en l’occurrence les capacités de raisonnement. Les résultats obtenus ont donné lieu à des distributions normales, ce qui sous-entend que la majorité des étudiants examinés ont plutôt un niveau moyen pour ce qui est des aptitudes intellectuelles mesurées. Quelques sujets se sont situés bien au-dessus de la moyenne et d’autres en dessous. Les étudiants examinés ne forment donc pas un groupe homogène et présentent plusieurs profils sur le plan intellectuel. Il paraît ainsi possible de trouver, parmi les candidats qui accèdent aujourd’hui à l’université, des étudiants aux potentialités intellectuelles élevées tout comme des étudiants dont le niveau laisse à désirer.
