This article aims at a common transdisciplinary ground for understanding how people are ‘touched and moved’ by arts. Basic neuroscientific princi-ples—predictive processing, interoception, and bodily feelings—appeared useful in discussing artistic research: (1) How pre-existing knowledge affected people’s percepts of each other while they participated in nonverbal vocal art with psychiatric patients, (2) how an author–painter had strong embodied experiences while viewing visual art, and (3) how a well-practised embodied skill, walking, was transformed into an extremely slow-speed performance, in-tensifying the sensations from the environment and limiting mind-wandering. These artistic experiences demonstrate the usefulness of verbalising rich artis-120 tic experiences and reveal the tight connection between mental content and motor activity.","PeriodicalId":101879,"journal":{"name":"Research in Arts and Education","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127864129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The very nature of these practices requires devoted physical presence, firmly fixed for long hours to build rhythm. Labourious and tedious, these crafts bring one to the present by means of minute and constrained gestures. Enduring the process at hand, the psyche is anxious and persistently appre-hensive. Despite this, the work is undertaken with pleasure, entangling the practitioner such that she is unable to depart the site of labour. Touch and the repetitive working and reworking of materials allow for pleasure, enjoyment and being focused on the present moment. These lived experiences are what feminist scholar Anne Cvetkovich accredits to “the value of process and the art of daily living” through an “embodied practice.” Drawing from feminist interpretations of Lacanian jouissance, this paper locates presence and attentiveness via slowness as a primary site of female creativity that differs. Both as a gesture of delaying and as being other, a play Derrida refers to as ‘Dif-férance’ it is particularly generative for new ways of knowing. As a means of refinement that “work upon or shape” the practices of needlework, macramé and weaving can be understood as means of knowledge and ways of being in the world.","PeriodicalId":101879,"journal":{"name":"Research in Arts and Education","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121731000","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Orientalism was driven by a Western sense of cultural superiority and corporate, political and military interests in the East with the aim to con-trol, restructure and dominate it. Hence, the creation of a certain image of the Orient to justify the European presence as the white man’s burden to civilize and tame the uncivilized, the inferior. The focus of this paper is specifically on 19 th century Orientalist art, wherein the Orient was perceived and represented not only as backward, mysterious, and exotic but also as feminine, sexual, erotic, and sinister. The emphasis will particularly be on the famous odalisque and harem paintings that betrayed underlying Western ideological assumptions of power in relation to ‘woman’ as the ‘Other’, the object, the weaker in the heterosexual equation. and, white man’s racial, cultural and moral sense of superiority and power over inferior, darker races of the Orient. Thus, I will be analysing contextual history, representation of the female body in Western art and European social attitude towards women, to understand why the Orient was feminized/sexualized in art and how Orientalist art served as an aesthetic branch of political documentation, and, means of social propaganda and cultural imperialism.","PeriodicalId":101879,"journal":{"name":"Research in Arts and Education","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128653496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accent is not always on economic inequality, as they deal even more with feminist (/queer), post-colonialist and environmentalist goals, but Marxism is the classical political tag that haunts their projects. Marxism is a concept that is applied to a broad variety of approaches. In philosophy some of the most notorious critics of Marx are called Marxists. As political artists often desire to change moderately the society piece by piece with the help of their art, one could still ask the question: Does this not sound more like social democracy? The “revi-sionists,” i.e. the social democrats—Kautsky and Bernstein as the theoretical pioneers of the movement—thought that a new society could be built by negotiating and ameliorating piece by piece the existing society.

In order to gain insights into the tactile experiences, we use subjective experience of making and the professional experience of using the ceramic objects to frame the experiences. We focus on the shared qualities of tactile experiences within these approaches and propose the idea of muteness as a lens to view pre-verbal or non-verbal embodied dimensions within the context of our practices. The dialogue in this paper is between two different practitioners: an artist-researcher and a psychotherapist. We discuss the possibilities of a mute process in ceramic practice for embodied awareness and the use of this particular quality for engaging bodily in self-reflection within psychotherapy. The psychotherapeutic frameworks in this discussion are limited to cognitive behavioural psychotherapy, particularly schema therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solution focused therapy and narrative therapy. Our findings suggest that the perceived muteness of the sensory tools enables discussion and explorative dialogue concerning the embodied dimension in tactile experiences providing access to a place of pre-verbal being and knowing.","PeriodicalId":101879,"journal":{"name":"Research in Arts and Education","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124173755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract This paper reports on a university course focused on child-centred design and conducted in spring 2020 in a local creative lab for children in Estonia. In the project described in this paper, through playfulness, children and design students experienced a shared reality, overcame power differences, and built trusting, respectful relationships. Children’s participation was based on their own free choice and triggered experiences of wonder. Co-creation was further aided by transparent objectives, shared decisions, and collective reflection on outcomes. The co-imaged concepts developed in the course evidenced the value of involving children as design partners at the fuzzy front end of an open-ended design process.","PeriodicalId":101879,"journal":{"name":"Research in Arts and Education","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130121407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
