As busy as teachers and scholars are, rarely do they find the time to sample widely from the table of scientific inquiry. This book offers the opportunity to do just that. The fourth volume in the "Studies in Perception and Action" series, it contains a collection of posters presented at the Ninth International Conference on Perception and Action, sponsored by the International Society for Ecological Psychology. Like its predecessor, this volume is a collection of short reports, mostly empirical in nature. The reports are considerably larger than the abstracts presented in the proceedings of many conferences, and provide the authors with opportunities to present arguments, methods, results, and conclusions in condensed forms.
Ez a kötetet elsősorban a fiataloknak szól. Az újabb generációknak, akik számára más generációk jelene nagyon gyorsan ismeretlen múlttá tud válni. Az egyetem falai ugyanazok maradhatnak, de ha hiányzik a múlt ismerete, akkor csak a jelenlegi szereplőket látjuk a falak között. Pedig az eltűnt generációk lépteikkel nem csak a lépcső kopását mélyítették, de másként is mély nyomokat hagytak, még ha tudatlanságunkban ezeket észre sem vesszük. 2019-ben 90. éve volt, hogy a szegedi egyetem bölcsészkarán megalakult a Neveléslélektani Intézet Várkonyi Hildebrand Dezső vezetésével, amelyet a ma fennálló Pszichológiai Intézet jogelődjének tekint. Ez jelentős lépés volt a pszichológia magyarországi intézményesülésének folyamatában, különösen azért, mert ez az intézet tekinthető az első tartósan működő, az egyetemi rendszerbe formálisan beépülő, korszerű lélektani képző- és kutatóintézetnek Magyarországon, hat évvel megelőzve a Harkai Schiller Pál vezette lélektani intézet létrejöttét a budapesti egyetemen. Ez az esemény adja a jelen kötet megszületésének hátterét.
A világhírű Déki Lakatos Sándor sodró lendületű elbeszélésében egy több száz éves cigányzenész család, a „Lakatos dinasztia” lebilincselő története elevenedik meg e rendhagyó oral history kötet hasábjain. Az olvasmányos és autentikus szöveg Szokolszky Ágnes munkáját dicséri, aki értő és érző módon kérdezte a cigányprímást. A családtörténeten keresztül betekintést nyerhetünk a viharos 20. századba, és bepillanthatunk a cigányzenész társadalom rejtett világába. Dr. Hajnáczky Tamás történész, szociológus, kisebbségpolitikai szakértő Ez a memoárkötet kiemelkedik a hasonló, a cigányzenészek múltbeli és aktuális helyzetével...
It has been claimed that the natural sciences have abstracted for themselves a 'material world' set apart from human concerns, and social sciences, in their turn, constructed 'a world of actors devoid of things'. While a subject such as archaeology, by its very nature, takes objects into account, other disciplines, such as psychology, emphasize internal mental structures and other non-material issues. This book brings together a team of contributors from across the social sciences who have been taking 'things' more seriously to examine how people relate to objects. The contributors focus on every day objects and how these objects enter into our activities over the course of time. Using a combination of different theoretical approaches, including actor network theory, ecological psychology, cognitive linguistics and science and technology studies, the book argues against the standard notion of objects and their properties as inert and meaningless and argues for the need to understand the relations between people and objects in terms of process and change.
Higher Music Performance Education, as taught and learned in universities and conservatoires in Europe, is undergoing transformation. Since the nineteenth century, the master-apprentice pedagogical model has dominated, creating a learning environment that emphasises the development of technical skills rather than critical and creative faculties. This book contributes to the renewal of this field by being the first to address the potential of artistic research in developing student-centred approaches and greater student autonomy. This potential is demonstrated in chapters illustrating artistic research projects that are embedded within higher music education courses across Europe, with exampl...
Since 1991, the edited book series Studies in Perception and Action has appeared in conjunction with the biennial International Conference of Perception and Action (ICPA), a conference that provides an opportunity for individuals who share interests in e
Doing psychiatry engages with the history of European psychiatry in the second half of the twentieth century through a close and fresh look at the practices that contributed to reshape the mental health field. Case studies from across Europe allow readers to appreciate how new ‘ways of doing’ contributed to transform the field, beyond the watchwords of deinstitutionalisation, the prescription of neuroleptics, centrality of patients and overcoming of asylum-era habits. Through a variety of sources and often adopting a small-scale perspective, the chapters take a close look at the way new practices emerged and at how they installed themselves, eventually facing resistance, injecting new purposes and contributing to enlarging psychiatry’s fields of expertise, therefore blurring its once-more-defined boundaries.
Stage properties are an often-ignored aspect of theatrical productions, in part because their usage is meant to be seamlessly integrated into the performance instead of a focal point for the audience. The contributors illuminate many aspects of this largely ignored yet crucial part of the theatre.
A master of driving pace, exotic setting, and complex plotting, Harold Lamb was one of Robert E. Howard's favorite writers. Here at last is every pulse-pounding, action-packed story of Lamb's greatest hero, Khlit the Cossack, the "wolf of the steppes.
