La animación, proceso alquímico y práctica contemplativa para la transformación y la comunicación consciente: Neuro Animáticas

Carpe Pérez, Inmaculada Concepción 29 May 2023 (has links)
[ES] La Animación como Arte alquímico y práctica contemplativa mindfulness, es un potenciador de la transformación del "ser" y su consciencia, desarrollando la comunicación consciente y la autorregulación hacia el bienestar. A través del proceso creativo y alquímico de las películas animadas, se puede cultivar la atención plena y una visión holística, fomentando con ello el pensamiento crítico, reflexivo y creativo en busca de la coherencia en las historias que vivimos y las que recreamos. El objetivo principal de esta Tesis Doctoral, es mostrar a la comunidad, la animación como un lenguaje alternativo y práctica mediadora y preventiva, tanto para los individuos como para la sociedad, desde las Artes y la Educación, frente a la desinformación, desorientación y manipulación mediática que actualmente vivimos. La animación así concebida, favorece una mente despierta, atenta, sensible y equilibrada, con un corazón sabio y el animador, se convierte en un un artista chamánico consciente, en un alquimista, cuyo arte será mediador desde el individuo a la comunidad, estableciendo un diálogo abierto para el cuidado emocional y la autorreflexión. Nuestra perspectiva plantea un cambio, pasando de usar la animación como forma de entretenimiento, a utilizarla como una herramienta de aprendizaje neuro artístico, introduciendo aspectos de la Neurociencia en el proceso creativo y transformándola así en un arte neuro plástico, que promueve la neuroplasticidad autodirigida y la inteligencia emocional. Con esta metodología se estimulan valores como la compasión, la empatía y la resiliencia, donde el proceso alquímico de transformación individual, invita a realizar un viaje introspectivo y purificador, conectando la mente y el cuerpo, el individuo con el grupo y la comunidad con el mundo, a través de las historias animadas. Narrativas que pueden idear nuevos héroes y heroínas, independientes y compasivos, que nos ofrezcan otros modos de enfrentar los desafíos de la vida con humor y sabiduría. En el campo del arte en general y dentro de la industria del cine en particular, por el poder que el audiovisual tiene hoy en día sobre la población, es vital cultivar artistas conscientes de los contenidos que producen, por el impacto e influencia que ejercen en ellos mismos/as, y en la sociedad que los consume y cultura a la que los dirigen. La animación es un lenguaje ancestral y fuente de sabiduría que ofrece un espacio sagrado desde el yo para la comunicación e intercambio de información con el otro; puente entre la ciencia y el arte, lo visible y lo oculto, lo espiritual y lo terrenal, lo análogo y tecnológico, donde el límite lo pone solo la imaginación. Entrar en el mundo animado, es entrar en el mundo de los sueños y la Alquimia espiritual, donde todo es posible. / [CA] L'Animació com a Art alquímico i pràctica contemplativa mindfulness, és un potenciador de la transformació de el "ser" i la seua consciència, desenrollant la comunicació conscient i la autorregulación cap al benestar.

L'objectiu principal d'esta Tesis Doctoral, és mostrar a la comunitat, l'animació com un llenguage alternatiu i pràctica mediadora i preventiva, tant per als individus com per a la societat, des de les Arts i l'Educació, front a la desinformació, desorientación i manipulació mediàtica que actualment vivim. L'animació aixina concebuda, favorix una ment desperta, atenta, sensible i equilibrada, en un cor sapient i l'animador, es convertix en un un artiste chamánico conscient, en un alquimiste, l'art del qual serà mediador des del individuo a la comunitat, establint un diàlec obert per al conte emocional i la autorreflexión. La nostra perspectiva planteja un canvi, passant d'usar l'animació com a forma d'entreteniment, a utilisar-la com una ferramenta d'aprenentage neuro artístic, introduint aspectes de la Neurociencia en el procés creatiu i transformant la aixina en un art neuro plàstic, que promou la neuroplasticidad autodirigida i l'inteligència emocional. En esta metodologia s'estimulen valors com la compassió, l'empatia i la resiliencia, a on el procés alquímico de transformació individual, invita a realisar un viage introspectivo i purificador, conectant la ment i el cos, l'individu en el grup i la comunitat en el món, a través de les històries animades. Narrativa que poden idear nous héroes i heroïnes, independents i compassius, que nos oferixquen atres modos d'enfrontar els desafius de la vida en humor i saber. En el camp de l'art en general i dins de l'indústria del cine en particular, pel poder que l'audiovisual té hui en dia sobre la població, és vital cultivar artistes conscients dels continguts que produïxen, per l'impacte i influència que eixercixen en ells mateixos/as, i en la societat que els consumix i cultura a la que els dirigixen. L'animació és un llenguage ancestral i font de saber que oferix un espai sagrat des del yo per a la comunicació i intercanvi d'informació en l'atre; pont entre la ciència i l'art, lo visible i lo amagat, lo espiritual i lo terrenal, lo anàlec i tecnològic, a on el llímit ho posa solament l'imaginació. Entrar en el món animat, és entrar en el món dels somis i l'Alquímia espiritual, a on tot és possible. / [EN] Animation as an alchemical art and mindfulness contemplative practice, is an enhancer of the transformation of the "self" and its consciousness, developing conscious communication and self-regulation towards well-being. Through the creative and alchemical process of animated films, mindfulness and a holistic vision can be cultivated, thereby fostering critical, reflective and creative thinking in search of coherence in the stories we live and those we recreate. The main objective of this Doctoral Thesis is to show the community, animation as an alternative language and mediating and preventive practice, both for individuals and for society, from the Arts and Education, against misinformation, disorientation and the media manipulation that we currently live. The animation thus conceived, favors an awake, attentive, sensitive and balanced mind, with a wise heart and the animator, becomes a conscious shamanic artist, an alchemist, whose art will mediate from the individual to the community, establishing an open dialogue for emotional care and self-reflection. Our perspective proposes a change, going from using animation as a form of entertainment, to using it as a neuro-artistic learning tool, introducing aspects of Neuroscience in the creative process and thus transforming it into a neuroplastic art, which promotes self-directed neuroplasticity and emotional intelligence. With this methodology, values such as compassion, empathy and resilience are stimulated, where the alchemical process of individual transformation invites us to go on an introspective and purifying journey, connecting the mind and the body, the individual with the group and the community with the world, through animated stories. Narratives that can create new heroes and heroines, independent and compassionate, that offer us other ways to face life's challenges with humor and wisdom. In the field of art in general and within the film industry in particular, due to the power that the audiovisual has today over the population, it is vital to cultivate artists who are aware of the content they produce, due to the impact and influence they exert on themselves, and in the society that consumes them and the culture to which they are directed. Animation is an ancient language and source of wisdom that offers a sacred space from the self for communication and exchange of information with the other; bridge between science and art, the visible and the hidden, the spiritual and the earthly, the analogous and technological, where the limit is set only by the imagination. Entering the animated world is entering the world of dreams and spiritual Alchemy, where everything is possible. / Carpe Pérez, IC. (2023).

Moral Formation in the Letter of James: A Way Forward for the Structural analysis in Light of a Systemic Functional Genre Theory

Kim, Ji Hoe 11 1900 (has links)
This dissertation attempts to answer two questions. First, what is the social function of the letter of James? Second, how does James design the structure of the text to align with its communicative goal? This study presumes the letter of James as a member of ancient wisdom literature. Contrary to common (mis)understandings, ancient wisdom literature shows a general tendency in its composition. A legitimate sage collects and evokes old sayings and proverbs. Then, the wisdom is reinterpreted and contemporized for the current situation. Through this process, the sage helps his readers develop a sense of right and wrong, develop moral reasoning skills, and cultivate virtues. I will argue that this pattern, moral formation, is present in the unfolding of James’s letter to his diasporic readers. Regarding the structure of the letter of James, after Dibelius, many attempts have been made to present the letter as a cohesive text with a literary structure, which is unified by a single global theme. In this framework, most of what have been proposed as a structure of the letter is more or less topic (or theme)-based. Unfortunately, however, neither a rigorous definition of topic nor a method for determining it has been clearly stated. The limits of the topic-based approach become problematic when applied to the structure of James whereby diverse topics are scattered here and there throughout the text. Attempts to draw intricate lines between these units through topical or thematic similarities make the structure of James very complicated (e.g., inclusio or chiasm). This study attempts to break this methodological impasse by employing Ruqaiya Hasan’s genre theory developed in a systemic functional framework. James’s letter is delimited in terms of function, not topic or theme. In search for the function of each segment, I explore textual (semantic chain and cohesive harmony), ideational (transitivity, verbal aspect, and voice), and interpersonal meanings (grammatical person and speech functions).

Learning from nature-based Indigenous knowledge: a trail to understanding elders' wisdom

McBee, Gabriela 13 August 2013 (has links)
Fostering collaboration among people of diverse ethnicities is vital to improving our relationships with Nature and with each other. All knowledges known to humans have their limits, including Western scientific knowledge. This study argues that Indigenous elders have a wealth of nature-based wisdom which is urgently needed. The Thirteen International Indigenous Grandmothers have been sharing their wisdom with the world and meeting them inspired this work. Two Grandmothers, one Mazatec and member of the Thirteen Grandmothers who follows in the healing tradition of curandera María Sabina, the other Taíno (Caribbean Arawak), and several members of their families in Mexico and in Cuba kindly agreed to be research participants so that I could bring attention to their gifts and share with the world. Embodying their ancient wisdom they do not see themselves as separate from Nature but as integral part of her. Their relationships to all beings, humans, animals, plants, minerals, and spiritual entities, are imbued with love and care. They can be role models for people who have forgotten the most basic premise of respect, reciprocity, responsibility, and empathy for all our relations. The methodologies underlying this investigation are Indigenous. I used strategies of inquiry such as storytelling, participant observation, and reflexive self study. Relationality and accountability are its pillars. Being of European descent, doing research with Indigenous elders required great vigilance on my part. I had to challenge my own conventional Western views and question the truths I am surrounded with to gain an understanding of my research participants’ worldview. Even with the best of intentions all I could hope for was an approximation. As I immersed myself into the worlds of my participants the great significance of plants as part of their physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing became evident. Maize, tobacco, and the plant teachers cohoba and psilocybe mushrooms were, and for the most part still are, essential and closely knit into their cultural fabric. Coming from a background where the written word is placed high above the spoken one, and Nature is seen as separate to us, it is important to acknowledge that much rich understanding of the world is beyond pen and paper, even beyond words. / Graduate / 0727 / gabriela@uvic.ca
