Creative Writing Joins Rhetoric and the Public Arts: A Comparative Study of Craft, Workshop, and Practice beyond English Studies analyzes the field of creative writing through the lenses of classical rhetorical scholarship, aesthetic theory, and craft criticism in the arts. Through a historical analysis of techne (craft or method) and telos (end or final cause) in the work of Aristotle and Plato, I argue that what we call "craft" often suffers from a limiting definition that privileges formal and material constraints over the more vital concerns of knowledge and consciousness reflected in artistic education. Craft knowledge is demonstrated through the processes of art-making internalized by the student apprentice. No matter the form or discipline, craft practice embodies the processes and consciousness that make art education possible. The dissertation analyzes concepts of craft as technique while revealing how artistic method illuminates the ends to which art serves. Craft consciousness, a term outlined in this dissertation, is defined as an awareness of artistic method and practice across disciplinary boundaries. If applied by teachers and students of creative writing, this consciousness will redefine writing workshop, curriculum design, programmatic elements, and the mission of creative writing as an academic discipline. By shifting the field toward the craft principles shared with the performing and fine arts, the dissertation uses rhetoric and public arts as lenses for reimagining the mission of creative writing more broadly as a discipline simultaneously engaged with democratic and occultic principles. In proposing an alternative approach to traditional writing workshop by examining author-function, this dissertation also draws from Paulo Freire's term "nuclei of contradiction" in order to argue for a pedagogy that attends to the inherent contradictions that form the foundation of creative writing culture. Freire's "critical consciousness" informs the term "craft consciousness" and the latter term forms the scaffolding in which to reimagine educational principles in creative writing. In order to reimagine craft and workshop practices in traditional and virtual spaces, this dissertation examines how theories, histories, and practices in craft will transform creative writing into a field grounded in artistic practice and intellectual inquiry.

Detta arbete handlar om att utforma en mötesplats för aktivitet i ett utvalt område i stadsdelen Sätra, Gävle. Som metod används participativa designmetoder som handlar om att involvera människor så mycket som möjligt. Participativa designmetoder är  socialt hållbara metoder för att utveckla stadsmiljön bl a därför att den tillkännager vikten av att engagera de personer som är närmast berörda. Metoderna tar också fasta på mjuka värden såsom platsidentitet, människors personliga drivkrafter och vilja att tillsammans etablera ett gemensamt område för alla. Sätra är en stadsdel i Gävle med över 10 000 invånare. I denna stadsdel finns ett område mellan Gråstensvägen och Jökelvägen som håller på att rustas upp av Gavlegårdarna. Lekplatserna och utomhusplatserna är i nuläget föråldrade samtidigt som det i området bor mycket barn och ungdomar som skulle kunna tänka sig att nyttja dessa om de var mer anpassade efter deras behov. I arbetet har jag därför undersökt denna problematik med hjälp av frågeställningen: Hur kan man med en designprocess som involverar medborgare utforma en plats? Hur kan man utforma denna plats på ett sådant sätt så att det lockar de boende att vistas och mötas och skapa inkluderande och trivsam miljö där platsidentitet uppehålls? I arbetet genomförs participativa designmetoder utefter frågeställningen på så sätt att djupintervjuer genomförs med de människor som bor i området för att få en djupare inblick i behov och problematik. Dessa leder i senare fas till workshops där mjuka värden etableras för att kunna jobba vidare med koncept. Platsobservationer och studie av relevant litteratur från både design och arkitekturområdet har använts för att utveckla syfte och metoder för workshops under arbetets gång.  Arbetets resultat är i form av en planlösning och en klätterställning som har utformats efter behov samt workshopmodeller som utformats och testats.

The presented diploma thesis deals with artworks filed under Bassano's name in National Gallery in Prague. Opening chapters enlarge on those artworks, not to say artworks of Bassano family in area of today's Czech Republic. The life and artistic work of Bassano family is briefly introduced, with focus on Jacopo Bassano as the main personality. Short universal discourses concerning specific issues are taken individually, in relation to particular paintings. The crucial part of the thesis is a catalogue presenting entire collection of Bassano's artworks in National Gallery. The catalogue compounds of several parts: authentic pieces, works from workshop, later copies of artworks, and paintings which don't match Bassanos'author craft. The artworks in catalogue are comprehensively described and put to context with other works.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar o uso de histórias no encontro clínico com crianças psicóticas. Entendemos que as histórias nos aproximam de experiências da natureza humana; na experiência de ouvir/ler uma história, é possível ao ouvinte/leitor reconhecer nela um sentido relativo à sua própria vida. Tal tema surgiu a partir da própria experiência clínica, numa Oficina Terapêutica de História. A Oficina Terapêutica era parte do dispositivo clínico GIRAMUNDO oficinas terapêuticas e inclusão, da Clínica Psicológica Ana Maria Poppovic da PUC/SP. Para alcançarmos o objetivo proposto, estudamos as características das histórias, relacionando-as ao tema da experiência e articulando-as, posteriormente, com os conceitos winnicottianos de transicionalidade e criatividade. A partir da teoria de Winnicott sobre o desenvolvimento emocional primitivo pensamos em como a transmissão e a tradição das histórias podem ser articuladas às especificidades da clínica da psicose infantil. A pesquisa é qualitativa, de abordagem psicanalítica. Levando em conta que a pesquisa qualitativa busca aperfeiçoar as formas que tornam possível compreender o mundo da experiência, tal estudo foi realizado por uma leitura das situações e cenas vividas no encontro clínico em Oficinas Terapêuticas resgatadas de um registro textual, O livro da oficina de história. De forma geral, notamos que o registro do Livro da oficina de história marca dois momentos principais. No primeiro momento, o registro era uma narrativa do que acontecia na Oficina, quem estava, o que estava fazendo etc., e uma história se desenrolava a partir daí. Já no segundo momento as crianças tiveram um papel mais ativo na construção das narrativas, inventando histórias novas e experimentando o mundo do faz-de-conta. Parece que a experiência de vivenciar um eu-descrito possibilitou o surgimento de um eu-narrador: momento no qual as crianças eram, ao mesmo tempo, personagens e criadoras de personagens e, de alguma forma, começaram a brincar de fazer histórias. O brincar articula a rede de todas as funções e tarefas pelas quais passamos para o desenvolvimento do sentimento de si mesmo, e observamos que criar histórias é também uma forma de brincar criativo / This paper intends to study the use of stories in clinical encounter with psychotic children. We propose that stories bring us closer to human nature experience; in hearing/reading a story, the hearer/reader is able to recognize a meaning relative to his/her own life. Such a theme emerged through the experience of working in a Therapeutical Workshop of Stories. It was a part of a clinical device called GIRAMUNDO therapeutical workshops and inclusion, hosted by the Ana Maria Poppovics Psychological Clinic in PUC/SP. To attain the aforementioned objective, we studied the storys characteristics, correlating them to the theme of experience, and after associating them with the winnicottian concepts of transitionality and creativity. From Winnicotts theory regarding primitive emotional development, we considered how the tradition and transmission of stories could be related to specificities in child psychosis treatment. This is a qualitative research of psychoanalytical approach. Given the fact that a qualitative research aims to improve the modes of understanding the world of experience, this study was made through the reading of scenes and situations lived in clinical encounters in Therapeutical Workshops taken from a textual record, O livro da oficina de história (The book of the Workshop of Stories). In general, this record has two major time frames. In the first one, the record was a narrative of what took place in the workshop (who was there, what they were doing, etc.) and the story unraveled from there. In the second, the children had a more active role in the narratives construction, creating new stories and experiencing the make-believe world. It seems that experiencing a describedme allowed the appearance of an I-narrator: moment in which the children were, at the same time, characters and creators of characters and, in a way, started playing by making stories. Playing links the network of functions and tasks that we must live through for the development of the feeling of self, and we observed that making stories is also a form of creative playing

O estudo baseou-se na análise das características do origami e de sua analogia estética com determinados formatos de embalagens e, ainda, na descrição e confrontação de onze diferentes métodos projetuais. A investigação delineou-se por uma pesquisa qualitativa de natureza experimental, onde quatro grupos – compostos cada um por três profissionais atuantes na área do design – foram instigados, num ambiente de workshop, à resolução de um mesmo briefing para desenvolvimento projetual de uma embalagem. Dois destes grupos foram observados como caráter de controle e os outros dois receberam o tratamento experimental através de uma oficina de origami. Os resultados apontam para o mapeamento do processo de projeto utilizado nos workshops e sua relação com a solução projetual apresentada e o uso do origami no processo. O estudo destaca a confirmação de que o conhecimento da técnica de dobradura de papel pode gerar alternativas influenciadoras no processo de projeto de embalagens e, em contrapartida, abre indicativos para continuação desta pesquisa. / This paper presents the research that had as a goal to evaluate the influence of the inclusion of the origami technique at the package design process. The research is based on the analysis of origami's characteristics and his aesthetic analogy with certain forms of packages and, also, on the description and confrontation of eleven different projecting methods. The investigation was outlined by a qualitative study of an experimental nature, on which, four groups - each one composed by three professionals working in the design area - were instigated, at a workshop environment, to appoint a solution to the same briefing document for a projectual development of a package. Two of these groups were observed for control and the other two received the experimental treatment trough a origami workshop. The results point to the mapping of the design process used in workshops and their relationship with the given projectual solution and the use of origami in the process. The study highlights the confirmation that the knowledge of the paper folding technique may create influent alternatives in the package design process and therefore opens indicative to the continuation of this research.

Das coisas que acontecem quando se pesquisa em uma pósgraduação. Das dimensões ética, estética e política em produzir uma dissertação de mestrado ou tese de doutorado nos tempos atuais. Da construção de um atelier de escrita em um programa de pós-graduação em Psicologia Social e Institucional. Dos efeitos e registros de um escrever-com: com os participantes do atelier, com autores e autoras (acadêmicos e/ou não), com as bobagens, bibliotecas, músicas e literaturas. Dos risos e embrulhos de escrever em meio à vida. Dos ingredientes e modos de usar uma pesquisa. Dos efeitos coletivos de escrita a partir de 10 figuras disparadas por Roland Barthes: abandono, apneia, assinatura, bissemia, centro, círculo, embrulhado, prosa, tranquilidade, violência. Da escrita acadêmica como uma política da bolha: frágil, torpe, singular mas em constante movimento. / About what happens when you engage in academic research. About the ethical, aesthetic and political dimensions of writing a thesis on times like these. About creating a writing workshop in a Social and Institutional Psychology graduate program. About the effects and records of weiting-with. with the participants of the workshop, with the authors (academic and/or not), with the nonsense, libraries, musics, literatures. About the laughter and nausea of writing immerse in life. About the ingredients and ‘how-to use’s of a research. About the collective effects of writing from Roland Barthes’s 10 abandoned figures: abandon, apnea, bissemia, center, circle, crammed, prose, signature, tranquility, violence. About academic writing as a politics of the bubble: fragile, nasty, singular but in constant movement.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a three-day session using an integrated didactic and experiential approach for training in interpersonal skills for sheltered workshop supervisors.

La thèse est consacrée à la production d’amphores à huile (Dr. 20 et Dr. 23) dans le conventus d’Hispalis (prov. de Séville) entre le I er siècle ap. J.-C. et le V e siècle ap. J.-C.
 Les recherches qui ont été menées depuis la fin du XIX e siècle ont centré leurs problématiques sur les corpus des timbres en oubliant de prendre en considération les ateliers de potiers auxquels ils étaient rattachés. Nous nous intéresserons plus particulièrement à ces centres de production d’amphores à huile en réalisant un catalogue exhaustif et raisonné de ces derniers grâce à une série de prospections pédestres et géophysiques. L’objectif sera d’appréhender de façon exhaustive l’histoire socio-économique relative au commerce de l’huile dans la vallée du Bas-Guadalquivir (prov. de Séville). / The thesis is devoted to the production of oil amphorae (Dr. 20 Dr. 23) in the conventus of Hispalis (prov. Of Seville) between the first century AD. BC and the fifth century AD. BC The research that has been conducted since the late nineteenth century focused their problems on the corpus of the stamps forgetting to consider the pottery workshops to which they were attached. We are particularly interest to these oil amphorae production centers by providing a comprehensive and descriptive catalog of these workshops thanks to a series of pedestrian and geophysical surveys. The aim will be to understand comprehensively the socio-economic history on trade in oil in the valley of the lower Guadalquivir (prov. Of Seville).
