Exploring the Whole Singing Self with Technique, Contemplative Education, and MindfulnessBlackhurst, Lindsey Elizabeth January 2021 (has links)
This dissertation is a study wrapped in a metaphor of voices, figurative and literal. It is a story of four singers over the course of 12 weeks and weaves through individuals in a group singing class. As a study, it used integral inquiry and emphasized action and narrative research. It explored one overarching research question, which naturally led to several sub-questions: In what ways might Mindfulness Awareness Practices (MAPS) and contemplative teaching and learning practices affect singers’ experiences of their own vocal and personal growth? (Sub-questions: What practices are reported as being successful?; How do participants experience growth?; How might singers and teachers shift to a mindset of process and progress throughout practicing and performing?; How do we create a space of mutuality and trust to foster self-reflection?; How do we balance instruction, offering feedback when needed and wanted while fostering self-trust and independence? While singing is a wholistic endeavor requiring an intricate balance of physical and mental processes, we rarely discuss how teaching singing could consciously incorporate the mental and emotional into a voice studio. Learning to sing in a way that incorporates intentional mindful and contemplative practices into a more traditional vocal pedagogy might foster growth for singers both personally and artistically.
Over the course of 12 weeks, four singers and I met weekly for a two-hour class over Zoom that integrated contemplative learning and teaching practices into a singing class. We followed a format based in contemplative education and social and emotional literature for each class: (a) Centering and Check-In, (b) Third Thing, (c) Singing using contemplative and mindful language and concepts, (d) Optimistic Closure. Additionally, there were a total of three unstructured interviews (two individual, before and after the classes, and one final group interview at the conclusion of the classes), and participants engaged in practice journals and mindfulness practice outside of class time. Data was examined using a framework of non-hierarchical rhizomatic learning, based on the work of Deleuze and Guattari.
Participants’ stories were ripe with explorations of themselves, life circumstances that contributed to their relationships with their voices and vocal technique and musing on society and professional pressures. Primary discoveries include participants’ self-attributed growth in self-awareness, including self-efficacy and an increased growth mentality. Incorporating deliberate vocal technique using non-judgmental noticing, kinder self-talk, open-ended feedback, and the use of third thing discussions similarly enhanced participants’ self-defined growth and emphasized the importance of self-reflection within a group setting. The discussion concludes with an exploration of additional factors affecting participants’ growth, such as gender and race, and potential considerations for implementing continued work with singers, contemplative education, and mindfulness.

Self-Consciousness and Body Image Issues Among College FemalesDoty, Mary E. 01 May 1990 (has links)
This study examined some of the procedures used in eating disorder research. Body size estimation procedures, in light of their similarity to procedures in social psychology, were used to create self-focus and selfconsciousness conditions. If the procedures in the present study create self-consciousness effects, it is possible that the results of those studies have been affected by a heightened state of self-awareness. The present research also explored the relationships between self-consciousness, self-esteem, body esteem, body perception, and eating disorder proneness. The research was conducted with a nonclinical sample from a university population, controlling for age and body development factors. Baseline and experimental measures of objective self-awareness and body size perception were taken. The experimental conditions consisted of the presence of a) a VCR and mirror and b) an observer who was rating the subject. The third condition was a control setting that replicated the baseline setting. The sample was also tested at the posttest for self-esteem, body esteem, and eating disorder proneness. The results indicate that the subjects reported no significant changes in self-consciousness or body size estimates, suggesting that something besides the presence of equipment influences whether or not one feels selfconscious. This idea has been borne out in other research that implicates self-esteem as a major consideration in whether or not an individual feels self-conscious in certain situations (that is, that low self-esteem appears to increase one's amenability to induce self-consciousness). Another primary factor is that self-consciousness cannot be induced when the individual is interested in the task. Subjects in the present study indicated that they found the tasks inherently interesting and forgot about the presence of equipment and observers once they began thinking about the questions posed to them. In the present research, selfesteem and body esteem were both found to be negatively related to self-consciousness, while eating disorder proneness was found to be positively related to selfconsciousness. The results are discussed in light of these connections, and suggestions for future research are provided.

Self-Consciousness, Self-Ascription, and the Mental SelfCheng, Chieh-ling 12 August 2016 (has links)
Galen Strawson argues that we have a sense of mental selves, which are entities that have mental features but do not have bodily features. In particular, he argues that there is a form of self-consciousness that involves a conception of the mental self. His mental self view is opposed to the embodied self view, the view that the self must be conceived of as an entity that has both mental and bodily features. In this paper, I will argue against Strawson’s mental self view and for the embodied self view. I will draw on P. F. Strawson’s theory of persons and Gareth Evans’ Generality Constraint to argue that Galen Strawson fails to provide a satisfactory account of the mental self that can counter the embodied self view.

Gynnar konformitet människor? : Samband mellan konformitet och personlighetsindexarJohansson, Gustav, Gunes, Betty January 2017 (has links)
Konformitet ses som att människor anpassar sitt beteende utifrån andra och betraktas ofta som något negativt i västerlänska samhällen. Syftet med undersökningen var att framhäva om konformitet gynnade människor när andra ansågs bidra med nyttig information, konstruera ett mätinstrument för normativ och informativ social influens samt undersöka samband mellan personlighetsindexar och konformitet. En enkätstudie genomfördes med totalt 83 deltagare från en högskola i Mellansverige. Deltagarna delades in i två grupper, där konformitetsgruppen fick, tillskillnad från kontrollgruppen, en procentsats vid varje kunskapsfråga. Resultaten visade att konformitet förekom och att det gynnade sig att följa strömmen vid lätta och medelsvåra kunskapsfrågor. Ytterligare förekom det inga samband mellan personlighetsindexarna och konformitet. Slutsatsen var att människor inte borde se konformitet som något negativt, utan bör ibland ta del av det majoriteten har att erbjuda i vardagliga situationer. Förhoppningsvis kommer det konstruerade mätinstrumentet användas i framtida forskningar.

Paul Valéry: estudos filosóficos / Paul Valéry: philosophical studiesPimentel, Brutus Abel Fratuce 09 December 2008 (has links)
No intuito de realizar um «eu puro» («moi pure»), o poeta Paul Valéry (1871- 1945) dedica-se ao culto do «Ídolo do intelecto» («Idole de lintellect»), a um método cético de auto-consciência, expresso numa escrituração extremamente fragmentada sobre os processos mentais e o fazer artístico (na sua obra pública e, principalmente, nos seus Cahiers). Uma das principais conseqüências desse método é uma digressiva e ambígua critica à filosofia, a qual esta Tese postula e desenvolve mediante os seguintes estudos: sobre a elaboração de um modo de vida relativamente autônomo, simultaneamente prático e contemplativo (principalmente nos seus ensaios sobre Léonard de Vinci e Edmond Teste); sobre a diferença entre filosofia e ciência, na perspectiva de que todo saber é poder; sobre a compreensão dos problemas metafísicos como contra-sensos, como resultados do «automatismo verbal» («automatisme verbal»), da falta de consciência do funcionamento da linguagem; sobre a poética da poesia pura como abolição do récit e conciliação entre poesia e pensamento abstrato; sobre a inversão do platonismo, em obras híbridas de ficção (principalmente nos seus diálogos socráticos, como Lâme et la danse e Eupalinos - Ou larchitecte). Em todos esses estudos, a filosofia é compreendida não como uma ciência, mas, tal como a poesia, como um gênero artístico, uma forma pessoal de organizar esteticamente o caos do mundo. / In order to realize a «pure self» («moi pure»), the poet Paul Valéry (1871-1945) dedicates to the «intellect Idol» («Idole de lintellect») cult, a self-consciousness skeptic method, expressed in an extremely fragmented writing about the mental processes and the artistic making (in his public work and, mainly, in his Cahiers). One of the main consequences of this method is a digressive and ambiguous critic of philosophy, which the present Thesis postulates and develops through the following studies: about the elaboration of a relatively autonomous life style, at the same time practical and contemplative (mainly in his Léonard de Vinci and Edmond Teste essays); about the difference between philosophy and science, understanding that all knowledge is power; about the comprehension of metaphysical problems as nonsense, as result of the «verbal automatism» («automatisme verbal»), the lack of the language operation consciousness; about the pure poetry poetic as the récit abolition and conciliation between poetry and abstract thought; about the Platonism inversion, in hybrids works of fiction (mainly in his socratic dialogues, as Lâme et la danse and Eupalinos - Ou larchitecte). In all these studies, philosophy is understood not as a science, but, such as poetry, as an artistic gender, a personal form of organizing aesthetically the world chaos.

Um viajante em busca do essencial: a personagem entre a aparência e a essência / A traveler search of the essential: the character between appearance and essencePatricia Conceição Silva Santos 19 February 2009 (has links)
Este trabalho busca examinar as relações de poder alegorizadas no romance Todos os Nomes, de José Saramago. Usando principalmente as teorias de Mikhail Bakhtin e Michael Foucault sobre o processo de constituição do sujeito moderno (entendido, neste caso, como um sujeito que se reconhece como portador de uma identidade própria, ainda que, paradoxalmente, se saiba também integrante de um grupo social que o concebe e o solicita como um \"corpo dócil e útil\"), este trabalho enfoca desde a arquitetura \"panóptica\" do espaço impessoal da Conservatória do Registro Civil, que mantém seus funcionários numa rígida e produtiva disciplina de trabalho sob o olhar vigilante do Conservador, até os comportamentos transgressores do Sr. José em seu processo que investiga a identidade da mulher desconhecida, passando pelo exame dos recursos carnavalescos que visam a desmascarar o poder instituído. A análise visa provar que existe uma intrínseca e inextricável relação entre o poder instituído (representado pela figura do conservador) e o sujeito que se submete a esse poder (representado, no romance, pela figura do Sr. José), de tal modo que o desenvolvimento da autoconsciência do sujeito e a sua libertação em relação à condição anterior de assujeitamento (na terminologia de Foucault) acarretam, necessariamente, mudanças nas diferentes microesferas de poder (também com base no pensamento de Foucault). / This work aims to analyse the power relationships allegorized in the novel Todos os Nomes (All the Names), written by the Portuguese writer José Saramago. Using mainly Bakhtin\'s and Foucault\'s theories about the process of modern subject constitution (that who recognizes himself as owning his own single identity, though he also recognizes the use social forces and power instances make of him as \"a teachable and ductible body\"), this work focuses on the social and functional \"panoptical \"architecture of the register office (\"Conservatória\"), whick keeps the workers in a rigid but productive discipline, under the watching eyes of the \"Manager\". But it also focuses on \"Sr. José\'s transgressive attitudes along his investigatory route to discover the unknown woman\'s identity. And it also investigates the unmasking of the hegemonic power by means of the Bakhtinian carnavalization procedures which have the power to relativize the official conceptions of reality. This analysis aims to prove that there\'s an inextricable link between the institutional forces and the subject who\'s submitted to this power, so that the development of one\'s consciousness causes a direct consequence on the hegemonic power forces, with subtle changes in the power relationships.

Previous issue date: 2010-09-15 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This research is the result of a professional and personal experience of a psychologist and
educator working with children and families. Starting from the metaphor of the lotus flower
and sensitive listening, it is questioned in which ways what we live is related to our practice.
This is a qualitative research, carried out through an interdisciplinary investigation whose
subject was the researcher herself. Starting from the question How could the selfconsciousness
contribute to the construction of a transformative interdisciplinary path to an
entire education taking as basis the symbolic language ? which corresponds to the first
point of the interdisciplinary spiral some registers of symbolic practices were contemplated
and they emerged from self-consciousness to the light of the interdisciplinarity together with
the Jungian symbolic pedagogy.
Other points were outlined according to the symbolic practices, the self-consciousness and the
interdisciplinarity, revealing some elements lived in the researcher´s path, such as: creativity;
solidarity, love, happiness; gratitude, humbleness; waiting, detachment, coherence and respect
which helped to build the transformative interdisciplinary path. The researcher followed her
personal myth or metaphor: Transforming herself in order to be able to transform which
led to a reflection upon the importance of the educator s self-consciousness to build more
paths towards the integrative education. In order to make this path ready to be realized, this
research also points out another element necessary to the educational process that refers to
the act of living the symbolic life, involving the Totality of the being - and consequently some
psychological functions such as: feeling, intuition, thought and sensation / Esta pesquisa de mestrado resultou da experiência profissional e vivencial de uma psicóloga e
educadora atuante com crianças e famílias. A partir da metáfora da Flor de Lótus e da
escuta sensível , questionou se de que forma estaria relacionado o que se vivencia com a
prática. Trata- se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, realizada através da investigação
interdisciplinar, cujo sujeito foi a própria pesquisadora. Partindo da pergunta: Como o
autoconhecimento poderia contribuir para a construção de um caminho transformador
interdisciplinar utilizando a linguagem simbólica para uma educação integral? , o que
corresponde ao primeiro ponto da espiral interdisciplinar, foram contemplados registros de
vivências simbólicas que emergiram do autoconhecimento à luz da interdisciplinaridade e
foram articulados com a pedagogia simbólica Junguiana. Outros pontos da espiral foram
sendo delineados a partir das articulações das vivências simbólicas, do autoconhecimento e da
interdisciplinaridade, e revelaram alguns elementos vivenciados na trilha da pesquisadora ,
tais como: criatividade, solidariedade, amor, alegria , gratidão, humildade, espera, desapego,
coerência e respeito, que ajudaram a construir a trilha ou espiral interdisciplinar
transformadora. A pesquisadora seguiu o seu mito pessoal ou metáfora: Transformar-se para
poder transformar , o que apontou para a reflexão sobre a importância do educador conhecerse
para construir caminhos que possam direcionar à educação integradora. Para que este
caminho possa ser concretizado, na pesquisa foi apontada outro elemento necessário ao
processo educacional que diz respeito à vivência da consciência humanizadora propiciado
pelo caminho vivencial da elaboração simbólica, que envolve a Totalidade do Ser e, por
conseguinte, engloba as funções sentimento, intuição, pensamento e a sensação
