Philippine Kinship And Social Organization From The Perspective Of Historical Linguistics, Maria Kristina Gallego
Philippine Kinship And Social Organization From The Perspective Of Historical Linguistics, Maria Kristina Gallego
Philippine Studies: Historical and Ethnographic Viewpoints
Based on a reconstruction of Proto-Philippine kinship and social organization terminologies, thisarticle characterizes early Philippine kinship as bilateral with possible quasi-lineages. These features support the reconstruction of the Proto–Malayo-Polynesian system made by George Peter Murdock (1949) rather than that of Robert Blust (1980). In terms of leadership, the early Philippine community is described as dualistic in nature, allowing achieved and ascribed or hereditary chiefdom—thus deviating from the ancestral concept of hereditary leadership in the Proto–Malayo-Polynesian system. Changes in the Philippine kinship system are traced to show innovations in nomenclature and behavior toward certain kin.Keywords: historical linguistics • cultural reconstruction • …
American Culture’S Impact On Gender And The Perpetuation Of A Gender Binary, Anna Blaho
American Culture’S Impact On Gender And The Perpetuation Of A Gender Binary, Anna Blaho
University Honors Program
This thesis explores the origins of American culture’s fixation on gender being a dichotomous concept. Through the analysis of previous research surrounding the subject of gender roles, expectations, and stereotypes, contributors to this restrictive mind frame as well as reinforcing agents were recognized. Historical trends have demonstrated the assignment of clear and separate tasks to the genders, which in turn created differentiated experiences and opportunities presented to each gender. Facilitated by the historical basis, American culture emulated similar patterns that instilled inflexible conceptions about gender to the point where it has created a discriminate workplace environment. As a consequence of …

Alabaster Chambers: Sacred Folds, Jane Slade
Alabaster Chambers: Sacred Folds, Jane Slade
Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series
My paper is a discussion of how I have been developing a visual language to evoke the experience of the sacred expressed in the poetry of Emily Dickinson, particularly her poem Safe in their Alabaster Chambers. Experiential knowledge, through experimentation with materials has generated the project leading to at times unexpected and serendipitous outcomes. Using print processes of layering, words, images and folded textures, the poetry of Dickinson provides me with the “tacit” knowledge to make material the sacred “unknown” in her poetry. Printmaking, with its traditional links to religious texts and imagery, is a particularly appropriate medium to explore …
Making Sense Of Dress: On Sensory Perspectives Of Wardrobe Research, Else Skjold
Making Sense Of Dress: On Sensory Perspectives Of Wardrobe Research, Else Skjold
Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series
In this paper, I wish to exemplify how research on bodily experiences of dressing within research on fashion and dress research might be combined with user-oriented approaches from design research. By doing so, I wish to point my finger at the unfortunate wall between these two scholarly areas which to my mind has created a limited understanding of the connection between dress design, the body, and people's day-to-day routines of getting dressed. The case through which I wish to debate this is a wardrobe study of men in the age of 40-50 years old that I conducted in the period …

Crafting Material Innovation, Danielle Wilde, Jenny Underwood, Rebecca Pohlner
Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series
When designing material interactions using digital and other technologies, ideation and development timelines can go out of sync. In this paper we discuss how a crafts-driven approach to wearable technologies can sensitise researchers to novel ways of moving forward when faced with such a challenge. We identify ‘no-tech’ prototyping as a powerful paradigm for ideating wearable technologies when the technologies are not yet specified or available; and we describe four craft-based conceptual lenses – an approach, expression, dialogue and language – that support the development of no-tech prototypes at a range of resolutions. The Poetic Kinaesthetic Interface project (PKI) serves …
Why Making Matters: An Exploration Of Neuro- Biological Perspectives On Woodcarving, Marte S. Gulliksen
Why Making Matters: An Exploration Of Neuro- Biological Perspectives On Woodcarving, Marte S. Gulliksen
Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series
In this paper I begin unpacking the woodcarver’s experiences of working in green wood from a neurobiological perspective. The woodcarver’s experiences are often characterized as having an intense internal focus and an urge to overcome resistance. Previous research hasdiscussed this overcoming of resistance as a preconscious and a conscious negotiation between maker and material. Recent research on neurobiology has increased our knowledge on the basic nervous system in humans. The aim of this paper is to try to bring together current neurobiological descriptions of the basis of what the wood carver do and experience. It is asserted that neurobiological knowledge …
The Role Of Doing And Making Models With Materials: Outlining “Designerly And Human-Centred Entrepreneurship”, Kirsten Bonde Sørensen, Winie Evers
The Role Of Doing And Making Models With Materials: Outlining “Designerly And Human-Centred Entrepreneurship”, Kirsten Bonde Sørensen, Winie Evers
Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series
This paper seeks to demonstrate the central role of making and creating models in what we call “designerly and human-centred entrepreneurship”. We refer to empirics from studies of Danish entrepreneurs working on how to develop their businesses. In Drucker ́s (2001) “Management Challenges for the 21st Century” he predicts the new paradigms of management will change and continue to change our basic assumptions about the practices and principles of management. One of the key influences is that of design. 10 years later Johansson & Woodilla argue there is a need for a paradigmatic widening within Design Management, since, if it …

Toy Trucks In Video Analysis, Jacob Buur, Nanami Nakamura, Rainar Rye Larsen
Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series
Video fieldstudies of people who could be potential users is widespread in design projects. How to analyse such video is, however, often challenging, as it is time consuming and requires a trained eye to unlock experiential knowledge in people’s practices. In our work with industrialists, we have discovered that using scale-models like toy trucks has a strongly encouraging effect on developers/designers to collaboratively make sense of field videos. In our analysis of such scale-model sessions, we found some quite fundamental patterns of how participants utilise objects; the participants build shared narratives by moving the objects around, they name them to …
Madec: Exploring New Methodologies To Transfer Material Knowledge Into Design Disciplines, Chiara Lecce
Madec: Exploring New Methodologies To Transfer Material Knowledge Into Design Disciplines, Chiara Lecce
Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series
Due to the increased complexity of materials and production processes, the responsibility of the development of a design is often left in the hands of technicians and production personnel. This lack of knowledge about materials thus effectively creates a barrier between the designer and the product. Bridging this gap represents a challenge to designers and especially to the design schools. (Bak-Andersen 2013, p.69) Designers cannot know everything but they can open their minds and develop a more conscious understanding of this new field of design practice starting from a cultural point of view. MADEC is a research group based in …

Experiential Knowledge (EKSIG) Conference Series
Yet the nature of all these things must of course be physical since otherwise they could not impress our senses —for impression means touch, and touch means the touch of bodies. Lucrezio, "De Rerum Natura" The materiality of things represents the connection between our bodies and the physical world. However, in recent years, with the overlay of a new digital reality onto the existing physical one, materiality has extended its domain of existence into the virtual world through haptic technologies. The sense of touch is no longer restricted to a physical contact with any kind of "thing" existing in our …
The Politics Of Technology: Reflections On Overseas Modern Chinese Visual Cultural Studies, Xiayun Yu
The Politics Of Technology: Reflections On Overseas Modern Chinese Visual Cultural Studies, Xiayun Yu
Theoretical Studies in Literature and Art
The dialectical relationship between words and images is an important issue of modern Chinese literary studies. Although the interpretations from the overseas, especially Rey Chow's "technologized visuality," highlight the key position of visuality in the making process of modern Chinese literature, they exaggerate the opposition between words and images, and this exaggeration implies a colonial thinking of technology which sets the relationship between China and the Western as that between the primitive and the modern through its emphasis on Western-ownership of technology. Thus, technology becomes not only a state of matter but also a structure of ideology. If the emphasis …
Authentically African : Arts And The Transnational Politics Of Congolese Culture, Sarah Van Beurden
Authentically African : Arts And The Transnational Politics Of Congolese Culture, Sarah Van Beurden
Ohio University Press Open Access Books
Together, the Royal Museum for Central Africa in Tervuren, Belgium, and the Institut des Musées Nationaux du Zaire (IMNZ) in the Congo have defined and marketed Congolese art and culture. In Authentically African, Sarah Van Beurden traces the relationship between the possession, definition, and display of art and the construction of cultural authenticity and political legitimacy from the late colonial until the postcolonial era. Her study of the interconnected histories of these two institutions is the first history of an art museum in Africa, and the only work of its kind in English.
Drawing on Flemish-language sources other scholars have …
Viewing Film From A Communication Perspective: Film As Public Relations, Product Placement, And Rhetorical Advocacy In The College Classroom, Robin Patric Clair, Rebekah L. Fox, Jennifer L. Bezek
Viewing Film From A Communication Perspective: Film As Public Relations, Product Placement, And Rhetorical Advocacy In The College Classroom, Robin Patric Clair, Rebekah L. Fox, Jennifer L. Bezek
Communication and Theater Association of Minnesota Journal
Academics approach film from multiple perspectives, including critical, literary, rhetorical, and managerial approaches. Furthermore, and outside of film studies courses, films are frequently used as a pedagogical tool. Their relevance in society as well as their valuable use in the classroom makes them an important and pragmatic medium deserving further attention. The ability of film to be used in a socio-political way may sustain, challenge or change the status quo, which supports studying film as well as teaching students about the power of film. The purpose of this article is to share the development of a course which points out …

Effective Listening Project: A Constructivist Activity, Nanette Johnson-Curiskis
Communication and Theater Association of Minnesota Journal
Constructivist learning allows learners to synthesize and understand new ideas and concepts based on their own current and past knowledge and experiences. This paper describes the constructivist philosophy of learning. The constructivist teaching and learning model is applied to a unit used in an effective listening course or a class with a unit in listening. Students construct a listening campaign demonstrating the importance of effective listening for a target audience.
