A personal view of the role of arts in development in the UK as presented to the University of West of England Post Graduate Certificate in Participatory Practice in Arts and Media
The document discusses the role of art as activism and how art can be used to empower individuals, communities, and social movements. It provides examples of how art forms like theatre, music, and participatory art have challenged boundaries and inspired social change. The document also encourages readers to reflect on how they can use their art to illuminate important issues and ignite positive change in the world.
The document discusses the role of art in promoting social transformation and equity in Latin America. It argues that art can be used as a tool for social participation and influencing public space. The Latin American Network for Art and Social Transformation (The Net) works with underprivileged communities, using art both as a means and an end to empower individuals, encourage new forms of cultural production and circulation, and foster more inclusive and participatory democracies. The Net takes a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, forming alliances across different sectors to address issues like poverty, education, human rights, and the environment through art and cultural activities.
The document summarizes a conference on community arts education that explored its role in community development, youth development, and social activism. Key questions raised included defining community, the role of arts in neighborhood change, and how community-based learning can inform in-school arts education. Roundtable discussions covered topics like developing community arts educators and the relationship between art, philosophy and community. Feedback indicated allowing more time for discussion and a panel on models of community arts programs would have been beneficial. The conference was well-attended and generated interest in continuing the conversation.

This document discusses active citizenship, which refers to citizens voluntarily working directly or through representatives to exercise power towards shared goals. It outlines several key points:
- Active citizenship involves both rights and responsibilities in civic issues.
- It concerns everyone and depends on partnerships between various groups in society.
- There are four dimensions: capacity to act, relationships with others, desire to be involved, and awareness of social contexts.
- Sociological theories focus on socializing individuals for new roles, while psychological theories emphasize personal development.
- Barriers to active citizenship include lack of time, work/leisure patterns, and changing values.
- Ways to be an active citizen include joining community groups, volunteering, and
The document discusses several ways that modernity has impacted society. It describes how modernity has led to a more fluid society where people can change jobs and identities easily. Both positive and negative effects of modernity are provided, such as increased communication but also a loss of privacy. Modernity is shown to affect social adaptability, encouraging societies to change over time. Different economic systems like capitalism and socialism are also compared in the context of modernity's influence.
The document discusses several political and economic ideologies from history including:
- Luddites opposed technological advances that replaced skilled jobs with unskilled labor in the early 19th century.
- Chartism advocated for political reforms to expand voting rights in Britain during the 1830s-1840s.
- Utopian Socialism aimed to improve living conditions for workers through cooperative communities and education in the early 19th century.
- Marxism called for the abolition of private property and revolution of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie in the mid-19th century.
- Classical Conservatism supported a hierarchical social structure and gradual political change informed by tradition.

How Change Happens lecture IV: The Role of ActivismOxfam GB
The document discusses different theories of citizenship including liberal, communitarian, and republican models and how they emphasize individual rights, duties to community, and civic participation respectively. It also examines how citizens' movements can achieve lasting change through a combination of civil society activism and alliances with reformers inside the state. Theories of change are explored through archetypes like active citizenship, elite-driven reforms, and cross-class cooperation leading to greater accountability.
This document outlines a framework called CivicsDesign As (DaC) that aims to achieve a "good life" through fairness between citizens to enable flourishing. DaC takes a transdisciplinary approach, incorporating fields like social psychology, cognitive science, and design. It defines sustainability as "fairness between citizens" and sees equality as key to happier, more sustainable societies. DaC's goal is an ongoing examination of fairness between citizens through citizens' practical philosophy and expressions of power to shape their communities towards flourishing.

The YLTP aimed to empower young people to become future leaders through education and training. It selected 17 young people between 21-35 years old, with at least 30% being women, to participate in the 18-month program. The program involved lectures, discussions, activities and visits focused on leadership, governance, and development. It was conducted by a team of trainers and evaluated positively by its participants and partners. The YLTP served as a model for a subsequent expanded program in 2003.
Cloud APIs allow developers to focus on building differentiating features for their apps rather than spending time developing backend services, allowing apps to be developed faster and with fewer resources. By using cloud APIs, developers can launch feature-rich apps quickly, scale more easily and cheaply, and better understand and engage their users through analytics, push notifications, and testing. To survive, developers should simplify their development process, focus on great UX, learn from others' mistakes, and launch social, viral apps with many features from the start.

High quality information has a significant impact on improving hospital efficiency and patient satisfaction, as well as resolving patient disputes. In this paper, on the basis of the analysis of the research status of information quality and process performance, information quality is considered as an important contributory factor in improving patient throughput. A theoretical framework and main content are presented. Through the establishment of quantitative information, quality indicators such as correctness, timeliness and completeness, and the impact on process performance (registered queue length, waiting time, utilization of hospital facilities), together with the cost of the operating process, is analyzed from the theoretical aspect and then verified by simulation technology. Finally, the significance and feasibility of this study are clarified.
Semiotic Analysis On Economic Magazine Covers——VeilandVeiland Wang
1) Economic magazines aim to provide powerful analysis of economic and current affairs topics through concise layouts that directly highlight the prominent theme of each issue.
2) Elements of magazine covers like mastheads, cover lines and images are arranged spatially to emphasize the main topic through rhetorical devices and intertextual references.
3) Photographs and illustrations construct myths about the magazine's perspective through the portrayal and positioning of subjects, while linguistic presentations create intense emotional moods related to specific contexts.

This document provides an overview of communication theory and symbolic interactionism. It discusses what constitutes a good theory and examines different images of theory. A good theory goes beyond accepted wisdom to offer explanations. Additionally, a theory should consist of interconnected concepts that shape perception and behavior. Symbolic interactionism holds that people act based on the meanings and interpretations they assign to people, things, and events through social interactions and language. George Herbert Mead was influential in developing this perspective, which was further advanced by his student Herbert Blumer through the term "symbolic interactionism."
This document discusses pop culture and its influence on various aspects of society. It defines pop culture as ideas, perspectives, attitudes and images that are widely recognized and enjoyed by most people in a given culture, as manifested through various media like movies, music, television, sports, news and technology. Pop culture is determined by industries that disseminate cultural material as well as mass media, but is also shaped by ongoing interactions between these industries/media and consumers. As pop culture permeates everyday lives, teachers must integrate it into their lessons to engage students.

The document discusses Realism and Impressionism in art history. It notes how paintings during these periods often depicted scenes of Parisians enjoying leisure activities along the River Seine. It compares Gustave Courbet's painting "Young Ladies on the Banks of the Seine," which depicted women resting in nature and caused controversy, to Édouard Manet's painting "Luncheon on the Grass," both of which featured subjects that were unusual for large paintings at the time. The essay aims to compare and contrast key works from Realism and Impressionism and the artistic philosophies of the two periods.
The document discusses challenges facing museums in addressing controversial social and political issues. It notes that museums' traditional models of spectatorship and consumerism are rigid and unable to genuinely engage in participatory dialogue. While some argue museums should take a neutral stance, others believe they must go further in addressing issues like climate change and racial inequality. The document examines debates around whether museums should provoke difficult discussions or take an activist role in facilitating understanding between diverse viewpoints. It provides examples of projects aimed at creating intercultural dialogue and discusses skills like facilitation that can help museums navigate controversial issues.

Sweeping Exchanges:
The Contribution of Feminism
to the Art of the 1970s
Lucy R. Lippard
Lucy R. Lippard is an art critic
and a member of the collective that
publishes Heresies, afeminist
periodical on politics and the arts.
By now most people-not just feminist
people-will acknowledge that feminism
has made a contribution to the avant-
garde and/or modernist arts of the 1970s.1
What exactly that contribution is and how
important it has been is not so easily
established. This is a difficult subject for
a feminist to tackle because it seems
unavoidably entangled in the art world's
linear I-did-it-firstism, which radical fem-
inists have rejected (not to mention our
own, necessarily biased inside view). If
one says-and one can-that around
1970 women artists introduced an ele-
ment of real emotion and autobiographi-
cal content to performance, body art,
video, and artists' books; or that they
have brought over into high art the use of
"low" traditional art forms such as em-
broidery, sewing, and china painting; or
that they have changed the face of central
imagery and pattern painting, of layering,
fragmentation, and collage-someone
will inevitably and perhaps justifiably
holler the names of various male artists.
But these are simply surface phenomena.
Feminism's major contribution has been
too complex, subversive, and fundamen-
tally political to lend itself to such inter-
necine, hand-to-hand stylistic combat. I
am, therefore, not going to mention names,
but shall try instead to make my claims
sweeping enough to clear the decks.
Feminism's greatest contribution to the
future of art has probably ...

Key Concepts in Media Studies Lecture 2 Mass culture/ mass society theoryMarcus Leaning
This document discusses the theory of mass society or mass culture, which argues that modern society has led to a loss of traditional communities and moral structures. It is proposed that popular culture now fills this void, but is seen as "fake" or "surrogate" by this theory. The theory criticizes popular culture and media studies, seeing them as less authentic and valuable than "high culture" forms like classical art and literature. The document aims to explain this influential theory and argue that media studies takes a different approach by examining popular culture objectively rather than making value judgments.

The document discusses the role of social animators in promoting social change and development in communities. It explains that communities have interconnecting cultural dimensions, including technological, economic, political, institutional, aesthetic, and conceptual dimensions. The social animator acts as a social change agent and must understand how these cultural dimensions interconnect in order to effectively introduce new ideas or technologies without disrupting the community. The animator should see the community as a superorganic system and consider how changes in one cultural dimension will impact other dimensions.
