Impasses éticos ou um testemunho da experiência pedagógica

Silva, Tatielle Rita de Souza January 2010 (has links)
Tomando a ética como um modo de se conduzir que se constitui, a um só tempo, da relação que estabelecemos com o outro, por intermédio da relação que tecemos conosco mesmos, procuramos abordar no presente trabalho a temática dos enlaces e desenlaces constituintes do viver-junto. Duas interrogações nos acompanham: como o indeterminado atravessa nossa experiência e sob que condições somos convocados a responder pelos efeitos imprevisíveis das ações que protagonizamos. Para contornar este problema de pesquisa, encetamos um caminho duplo. Um deles parte de narrativas de um percurso escolar trilhado no decurso de oito anos em escolas da rede pública estadual do município de Porto Alegre. Tais narrativas estão referidas a uma coleção de acontecimentos não-lineares entornados da matéria mais ínfima da experiência pedagógica onde o critério escolhido para narrá-las não foi outro senão a intensidade com que produziram um certo desassossego e desalojamento em sua narradora – único modo encontrado de dar um registro simbólico às cenas ali testemunhadas. O outro caminho encetado diz respeito a um percurso investigativo, teórico-conceitual onde procuramos situar nosso problema de pesquisa através de uma releitura da obra de Aristóteles, em especial, de sua Ética a Nicômaco, buscando fazer jus ao modo como o filósofo evoca e ocupa-se dos impasses éticos em seu tempo. Seguindo esta via, procuramos realizar uma interlocução com o campo da psicanálise, em especial, com o modo como Lacan dedica-se a recolher alguns elementos ensejados no pensamento aristotélico procurando interrogá-los e contornar a questão do homem e da relação que este estabelece com sua própria ação. Esta articulação toma o seminário em que trata Sobre a Ética da Psicanálise, como um importante ponto de interlocução. Nossa escolha por escrever um trabalho de dissertação que segue uma via dupla justifica-se no modo como nossa questão investigativa se faz operante na própria estrutura que imprimimos ao nosso texto, na fenda que se abre entre experiência e reflexão teórica e que sinaliza certa impossibilidade de efetuar a passagem de uma trilha para a outra sem ter de contabilizar as perdas que esta transposição nos convoca a responder. Assim, procuramos sustentar nosso problema de pesquisa desdobrando-o em três capítulos: no primeiro, trabalhamos com as temporalidades do possível, do necessário e do acaso no sentido de pensá-la como instâncias que condicionam a ação humana e que restringem o poder do agente de determinar sobre tudo o que lhe acontece; no segundo, avançamos no sentido de pensar a respeito de pretensas posições ocupadas em arranjos circunstanciais nas quais o agente acaba sendo investido de um suposto domínio sobre sua conduta, sobre o contexto do qual participa e sobre a conduta daqueles que o entornam; por fim, no último capítulo de nosso trabalho, procuramos tratar da dimensão trágica da existência explorando as relações entre ação e transmissão simbólica. / This work presents the connections and disconnections that are developed through relationships and by living together based on an understanding of ethics both as the way we conduct ourselves and are constituted that are woven together to form who we really are. There are two fundamental questions in this work: how the indeterminate affects our experience and under what conditions we are called on to respond to the unpredictable effects of our actions. In order to address these research questions we employed a two-prong approach that sustains, rather than resolves, the tension between theory and experience. One way is based on eight years of narratives from the state public schools in the city of Porto Alegre. These narratives are based on a collection of specific non-linear teaching experiences. In order to symbolically register the particular scenes in these testimonies, the narratives were chosen based on their intensity and whether they decentered or produced restlessness in the narrator. The second approach is the investigative process. We placed our research within theoretical concepts based on a re-reading of Aristotle, particularly Neomachean Ethics, in order to do justice to the ethical dilemmas of his time. We make a psychoanalytical intervention, using Lacan’s articulation of dialogue that was presented in his seminar The Ethics of Psychoanalysis, to utilize elements of Aristotle’s ideas to question the relationship between man and his own actions. Our desire to operationalize the work that we do in this text led us to employ this two-pronged approach. We create an opening between experience and theoretical reflection, which signals the impossibility of going from one to the other without accounting for the losses that this transition creates. This work is divided into three chapters. In the first chapter, we work with temporalities of the possible, the necessary and chance as instances that condition human action and diminish the power of the agent to determine exactly what will happen to him. The second chapter advances this by exploring the alleged positions occupied in circumstantial arrangements in which the agent is supposedly invested in the domination of his own conduct, the context in which participation occurs, and the conduct of those who surround him. The final chapter of this work addresses the tragic dimension of existence by exploring existing relationships between action and transmission.

The phenomenon of chance in ancient Greek thought

Shew, Melissa M., 1977- 09 1900 (has links)
x, 216 p. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. / This dissertation engages three facets of Greek philosophy: (1) the phenomenon of tyche (chance, fortune, happening, or luck) in Aristotle's Physics, Nicomachean Ethics , and Poetics ; (2) how tyche informs Socrates' own philosophical practice in the Platonic dialogues; and (3) how engaging tyche in these Greek texts challenges established interpretations of Greek thought in contemporary scholarship and discussion. I argue that the complex status of tych e in Aristotle's texts, when combined with its appearance in the Platonic dialogues and the framework of Greek myth and poetry ( poiesis ), underscores the seriousness with which the Greeks consider the role of chance in human life. I claim that Aristotle's and Plato's texts offer important counterpoints to subsequent Western philosophers who deny the importance and existence of chance in human affairs and in the universe, dichotomously privileging reason over fortune (Boethius), necessity over chance (Spinoza), certainty over contingency (Descartes), and character over luck (Kant). My investigation of tyche unfolds in relation to a host of important Greek words and ideas that are engaged and transformed in Western philosophical discourse: anank e (necessity), aitia (cause, or explanation), automaton, logos (speech), poietic possibility, and philosophy. First, a close reading of tyche in the Physics shows that its emergence in Book II challenges the "four causes" as they are traditionally understood to be the foundation of the cosmos for Aristotle. Attentiveness to the language of strangeness (that which is atopos ) and wonderment ( t o thauma ) that couches Aristotle's consideration of tyche unveils a dialogical character in Aristotle's text. I also show how tyche hinges together the Physics and the Nicomachean Ethics . Second, I argue that tyche illuminates the possibility of human good through an inquiry into human nature in the Ethics , exploring the tension that tych e is, paradoxically, a necessity as it is grounded in nature and yet relates to human beings in "being good" ( EN 1179a20), ultimately returning to a deeper understanding of the relation between physis and tyche . Third, I argue that the Poetics also sustains an engagement with tyche insofar as poi esis speaks to human possibility, turning to Heidegger and Kristeva to see how this is so. / Adviser: Peter Warnek

Non-Attachment in the Creative Process

January 2014 (has links)
abstract: This ethnographic research focuses on the specific creative processes of one dance-maker who worked collaboratively with seven dancers, a sound designer, a costume designer, and a narrative speaker. Together they created an evening-length dance work entitled "The Now Creature." Throughout the creative process, the dance-maker was interested in noticing attachments, finding freedom from these attachments, and being aware of how the work was affected by the choice to detach or remain attached to certain ideas. This interest stemmed from the dance-maker/researcher's interest in Buddhist philosophy and a system of decision-making she had been developing since childhood. The creative process for "The Now Creature" began with experiments in chance procedures as a method of non-attachment. After the first public showing of the piece, the process shifted to include intuition and aesthetic integration. "Embodied nowness," or the awareness of one's physical and mental sensations in the present moment, played an important role in rehearsals and in the overall process of letting go of attachments. All collaborators kept journals and were usually given specific prompts about which to write. The researcher/dance-maker also conducted one-on-one verbal interviews and group discussions with the collaborators. These data informed the development of the work presented on January 31-February 2 at Arizona State University, Findings from this research can be applied to any kind of creative process, or any life situation that includes decision-making. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.F.A.

An exploration of the principle of chance as a stimulus to the creative activity known as sculpture

Watson, Allan January 1992 (has links)
This research is concerned with the utilization of chance as a stimulus to encourage experiment and discovery in sculpture. The aims of this research project were: to examine the role of chance within the creative process and previous artists' use of chance; to develop and test a 'chance orientated device' which can introduce chance into any sculptor's creative process; to consider the results of such tests and postulate as to the efficaciousness of such a device. An initial interest in chance came about through the author's personal experience of making sculpture and the fact that the author derived greater pleasure from the end product when to some extent its final form had been determined by factors beyond the author's control. Also, such work appeared to receive more favourable peer judgement and praise than work in which chance had played no part. These events aroused a curiosity as to why chance appeared to have such a positive effect upon the author's creative process and whether or not this effect could be enhanced, and extended to other sculptors. A critical review of literature concerning the scientific study of creativity revealed that chance was recognised as a contributory and often catalytic factor in all fields of creativity, whilst a review of previous artists' use of chance identified the deliberate use of chance in a number of processes, products and philosophies of major art movements and influential artists throughout the twentieth century. It was concluded that chance was a significant yet neglected factor within the creative process, with little accreditation to be found. The methods that previous artists employed to introduce chance had been based upon idiosyncratic techniques which lacked the cohesion and objectivity which the principle of chance demanded. In order to rectify this, the author proposed the development of a 'chance-orientated interactive device' (C.O.J.D.), which possessed the ability to introduce chance into any person's creative process by exploiting the decision making process inherent within creativity. The device, known as ARP (Art as Random Process), exists in 'Hypercard', an Apple Macintosh application which allows non-linear organization of information in relational structures of either text, image, or sound, and has been designed to introduce chance into both the mental and physical processes of making sculpture. ARP exploits the principle of chance by offering the user an opportunity to receive random selections from various alternatives, all of which (both actually and theoretically), relate to the production of sculpture (for example, the user could receive a randomly selected material, a randomly selected shape, or a randomly selected place, etc). By making use of such chance processes, the user is freed from personal likes and dislikes because ARP provides chance combinations of elements that they perhaps would not have chosen themselves. By encouraging users to consider 'random selections', ARP aims to stimulate creativity by acting as a 'habit breaker' to the more experienced sculptor, and as an 'eye-opener' to the less experienced sculpture student. The development of ARP has involved several experiments (using both author and others as participating subjects), which not only tested the design of the device, but attempted to measure the difference, if any, between sculpture produced by purely 'personal decision making procedures', and sculpture produced by 'chance effected decision making procedures'. Ultimately, ARP has been tested and endorsed by a number of prominent sculptors, the majority of whom found ARP to be fascinating, relevant and stimulating. The prototype has successfully demonstrated the immense potential for the future development of ARP, not only within the sculptor's studio, but as an educational device (in any creative profession), and as a methodological 'tool' for further research.

A Data-Driven Strategy to Enable Efficient Participation of Diverse Social Classes in Smart Electric Grids

January 2019 (has links)
abstract: The grand transition of electric grids from conventional fossil fuel resources to intermittent bulk renewable resources and distributed energy resources (DERs) has initiated a paradigm shift in power system operation. Distributed energy resources (i.e. rooftop solar photovoltaic, battery storage, electric vehicles, and demand response), communication infrastructures, and smart measurement devices provide the opportunity for electric utility customers to play an active role in power system operation and even benefit financially from this opportunity. However, new operational challenges have been introduced due to the intrinsic characteristics of DERs such as intermittency of renewable resources, distributed nature of these resources, variety of DERs technologies and human-in-the-loop effect. Demand response (DR) is one of DERs and is highly influenced by human-in-the-loop effect. A data-driven based analysis is implemented to analyze and reveal the customers price responsiveness, and human-in-the-loop effect. The results confirm the critical impact of demographic characteristics of customers on their interaction with smart grid and their quality of service (QoS). The proposed framework is also applicable to other types of DERs. A chance-constraint based second-order-cone programming AC optimal power flow (SOCP-ACOPF) is utilized to dispatch DERs in distribution grid with knowing customers price responsiveness and energy output distribution. The simulation shows that the reliability of distribution gird can be improved by using chance-constraint. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Electrical Engineering 2019

Dreams as Source Material for an Artistic Process

Asikainen, Heta January 2021 (has links)
In this essay, I document and reflect on a process of creating a twenty-minute performance called That Time I Swam in a Storage Room (2021), with dreams as its source material. The essay is written in the form of a series of log-book-like entries, which offer an insight into how the work developed throughout each week during the nine-week working period. The process described in this essay, is centred around individual explorations, through reading and try-outs, as well as studio-sessions together with a four-person working group consisting of Ane Carlsen, Anton Hedevang, Jane Sievänen and Heta Asikainen. In the essay, I give an account of how the explorations are executed; by using tools and methods derived from Dadaists and Surrealist art movements, such as the cut-up technique and automatic writing. Fragments of methods from other thinkers and psychoanalysts are also applied in order to harvest dream-images and further work with the content of the dreams, such as Sigmund Freud’s dream interpretation and Carl Jung’s active imagination. The essay ends with reflections on the process of creating the performance. / <p>This master work includes both a performing and a written part. </p>
