Open Educational Resources

This document details the Learning Objectives (LOs) and accompanying rubrics used in CHEM 1110 and CHEM 1120 at the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) and are aligned with the Chemistry, Life, the Universe, and Everything (CLUE) Curriculum (Cooper & Klymkowsky, 2019).

Minor modifications were made again and this document represents the rubrics to be implemented in the Fall 2023. As with all curriculum, these will also likely undergo minor changes.

Re-Examining, Re-Empowering: The Effect Of Contextualizing Testimonial Theatre On Spect-Actors, Felicia Owusu-Ansah

Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed

To be empowered, freed from rejection, silence and trauma, one may have no choice but to speak up. But how does the silenced speak in the presence of the oppressor? At this point, theatre (of testimony) became the most useful tool to break the silence among irregular returnees in Akuma, Ghana. This qualitative study article reports on the healing and empowering effects of Testimonial Theatre on spect-actors during its use for dissemination of research findings to the researched community. It aims to show how Testimonial Theatre’s effects of compassion and empathy led to the resilience of human essence, breaking silence, …

Teatro Do Oprimido E Augusto Boal. Uma Jornada Marxista, Geo Britto

Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed

O artigo é um resumo do livro que sairá em breve onde depois de mais de uma década após a morte de Augusto Boal, pouco se sabe sobre as origens fascinantes do Teatro do Oprimido. O artigo traça o caminho histórico, político e artístico que levou Augusto Boal a desenvolver sua metodologia. Indo desde do início do contato de Boal com o teatro até a sistematização da 1ª técnica do Teatro do Oprimido, o Teatro-Jornal. O autor combina narrativas históricas com uma análise profunda do projeto teórico e prático do Teatro do Oprimido. O artigo não só traz à tona …

Theater Of The Oppressed And Augusto Boal, A Marxist Process, Geo Britto

Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed

The logic of capitalism is to think of each individual in an isolated way, where only they add up and we would have a social life as products separated from the objective and subjective relations that we realize. In the case of the artists this is a stronger logic still, often they themselves reinforce this idea as if they were in their ivory towers creating their theory and practice that they deliver magnificently to the society. Augusto Boal as every human being, was a collective being, fruit of various cultures, languages and different communities and a product of the social …

Relações Entre Teatro E Política No Trabalho Teatral De Boal No Pós-1964: A Coletivização Do Fazer Artistico Como Expressão Autoconsciente Da Produção Estética, Patricia Freitas

Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed

Este artigo empreende um olhar histórico sobre o trabalho teatral realizado por Augusto Boal após a instauração da ditadura militar no Brasil, em 1964. Em primeiro lugar, buscaremos compreender como o trauma histórico gerado com o golpe redimensionou a prática artística socialmente engajada no país e colocou em tensão a teoria e a prática produzidas por Augusto Boal. Nessa esteira, este estudo verificou que a reflexão proposta por Boal sobre a cena brasileira possuía um fundo mais amplo e estava embebida em um movimento de crítica cultural, com vistas à criação de um programa de ação estético-política.

Relationships Between Theatre And Politics In Boal’S Post-1964 Theatrical Work: The Collectivization Of Artmaking As A Self-Conscious Expression Of Aesthetic Production, Patricia Freitas

Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed

This essay aims to bring a historical perspective to the theatrical work carried out by Augusto Boal after the establishment of the military dictatorship in Brazil in 1964. The historical trauma generated by the coup re-dimensioned the socially engaged theatrical practice in the country. In Boal's case, it created important contradictions between his theory and practice. Along these lines, this study verified that the reflection proposed by Boal on the Brazilian scene had a broader background and was embedded in a movement of cultural criticism, with the aim of creating an aesthetic and political program of action.

O Mecanismo Da Empatia No Teatro Fórum, Ali Mansouri

Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed

Mesmo que o conceito de “empatia” não tenha sido mencionado mesmo nos textos mais recentes sobre performance, sempre houve uma disputa entre os teóricos do teatro em diferentes momentos acerca dos impactos da empatia no público. Embora alguns tenham considerado a empatia como a base do teatro, outros a viam como um terreno perigoso que pode produzir sentimentos inapropriados e prejudiciais no público. Descobertas recentes dos neurocientistas revelaram que a empatia (tanto com personagens fictícios ou reais) é inevitável para os seres humanos, e seu mecanismo inconsciente está presente em qualquer indivíduo mentalmente saudável. Creio que tal habilidade inerente pode …

The Mechanism Of Empathy In Forum Theater, Ali Mansouri

Spect-actor: A Journal of Pedagogy & Theatre of the Oppressed

Even though the concept of “Empathy” was mentioned in the earliest texts about performance, there has always been a dispute among theatre theorists in different eras regarding its impact on the audience. Although some have considered empathy as the basis of the theatre, others viewed it as a dangerous ground that can result in inappropriate and unhealthy feelings in the audience. Recent findings of neuroscientists have revealed that empathy (with both real people and fictional characters) is inevitable for human beings, and its unconscious mechanism exists in every mentally healthy person. I believe that this inherent ability can allow us …
