    Correlations Between Creativity In

    1 ARTISTIC SCIENTISTS AND SCIENTIFIC ARTISTS: THE LINK BETWEEN POLYMATHY AND CREATIVITY ROBERT AND MICHELE ROOT-BERNSTEIN, 517-336-8444; [email protected] [Near final draft for Root-Bernstein, Robert and Root-Bernstein, Michele. (2004). “Artistic Scientists and Scientific Artists: The Link Between Polymathy and Creativity,” in Robert Sternberg, Elena Grigorenko and Jerome Singer, (Eds.). Creativity: From Potential to Realization (Washington D.C.: American Psychological Association, 2004), pp. 127-151.] The literature comparing artistic and scientific creativity is sparse, perhaps because it is assumed that the arts and sciences are so different as to attract different types of minds who work in very different ways. As C. P. Snow wrote in his famous essay, The Two Cultures, artists and intellectuals stand at one pole and scientists at the other: “Between the two a gulf of mutual incomprehension -- sometimes ... hostility and dislike, but most of all lack of understanding... Their attitudes are so different that, even on the level of emotion, they can't find much common ground." (Snow, 1964, 4) Our purpose here is to argue that Snow's oft-repeated opinion has little substantive basis. Without denying that the products of the arts and sciences are different in both aspect and purpose, we nonetheless find that the processes used by artists and scientists to forge innovations are extremely similar. In fact, an unexpected proportion of scientists are amateur and sometimes even professional artists, and vice versa. Contrary to Snow’s two-cultures thesis, the arts and sciences are part of one, common creative culture largely composed of polymathic individuals.

    BOWLS BERETS BANGLES FROCKS PRINTS PLATES Media Release

    MEDIA RELEASE: ISSUED ON 5 February 2018 BOWLS BERETS BANGLES FROCKS PRINTS PLATES An art and fashion collaboration by Bruce and Flora McLean 2 – 28 March Private View 5.30 – 7.00, Live presentation 7.30, Friday 9 March Sponsored by Vantage Premier Bruce McLean graduated from Glasgow school of art in 60’s. He studied under Anthony Caro at St Martins and went on to become one of the leading figures in conceptual art in 60’s Great Britain. Bruce rebelled against the more formal academicism of his teachers, abandoning conventional studio production for his own distinctive sculpture and performance art. Creating sculptures with rubbish, water and impermanent materials as well as using his body to impersonate sculptures by others, Bruce lead the development of Conceptual Art in Britain. Bruce’s fearless artistic experimentation whilst poking fun at the establishment has continued through his varied career in the arts and enabled many artistic collaborations incuding architecture, education and theatre. At 27 Bruce was given a retrospective exhibition at the Tate Gallery London, which he candidly programmed to run for one day only and titled ‘King for a Day’. Bruce was Head of Painting at The Slade School of Art and also taught at Maidstone College of Art where he established Nice Style, aka ‘The World’s First Pose Band’ as well as a number of collaborative performances (Academic Board,1975; Sorry! A Minimal Musical in Parts, 1977; The Masterwork; Award Winning Fishknife, 1979). His witty interpretations confronted the pretentiousness of the art world and wider social issues such as institutional politics and bureaucracy.

    The Ackland Art Museum Shines Spotlight on Art of the Middle East and North Africa with Two Events: Exhibition “She Who Tells a Story: Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World” and Installation of Recently Acquired Islamic Art FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (Chapel Hill, N.C. — Aug 14, 2019) –– The Ackland Art Museum at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill shines a spotlight on art of the Middle East and North Africa with an exhibition of contemporary photography by women artists and an installation of recent acquisitions of Islamic art. The exhibition “She Who Tells a Story: Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World,” is on view from Friday, Sept. 20 through Sunday, Dec. 1, 2019. The Ackland’s new acquisitions of Islamic Art will be on view in a separate installation from Friday, Sept. 13, 2019 through Sunday, Feb. 2, 2020. "She Who Tells a Story: Women Photographers from Iran and the Arab World" brings together the vital pioneering work of 12 leading artists, ranging in genre from portraiture to documentary: Jananne Al-Ani, Boushra Almutawakel, Gohar Dashti, Rana El Nemr, Lalla Essaydi, Shadi Ghadirian, Tanya Habjouqa, Rula Halawani, Nermine Hammam, Rania Matar, Shirin Neshat, and Newsha Tavakolian. During this critical time for Iran and the Arab world, as national and personal identities are being dismantled and rebuilt, contemporary photography reflects the complexities of unprecedented change. One of the most significant trends to emerge is the work of women photographers, whose remarkable and provocative images provide insights into new cultural landscapes, questioning tradition and challenging perceptions of Middle Eastern and Arab identity.

    Studio International magazine: Tales from Peter Townsend’s editorial papers 1965-1975 Joanna Melvin 49015858 2013 Declaration of authorship I, Joanna Melvin certify that the worK presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this is indicated in the thesis. i Tales from Studio International Magazine: Peter Townsend’s editorial papers, 1965-1975 When Peter Townsend was appointed editor of Studio International in November 1965 it was the longest running British art magazine, founded 1893 as The Studio by Charles Holme with editor Gleeson White. Townsend’s predecessor, GS Whittet adopted the additional International in 1964, devised to stimulate advertising. The change facilitated Townsend’s reinvention of the radical policies of its founder as a magazine for artists with an international outlooK. His decision to appoint an International Advisory Committee as well as a London based Advisory Board show this commitment. Townsend’s editorial in January 1966 declares the magazine’s aim, ‘not to ape’ its ancestor, but ‘rediscover its liveliness.’ He emphasised magazine’s geographical position, poised between Europe and the US, susceptible to the influences of both and wholly committed to neither, it would be alert to what the artists themselves wanted. Townsend’s policy pioneered the magazine’s presentation of new experimental practices and art-for-the-page as well as the magazine as an alternative exhibition site and specially designed artist’s covers. The thesis gives centre stage to a British perspective on international and transatlantic dialogues from 1965-1975, presenting case studies to show the importance of the magazine’s influence achieved through Townsend’s policy of devolving responsibility to artists and Key assistant editors, Charles Harrison, John McEwen, and contributing editor Barbara Reise.

    Feminists, Freedom Fighters and Daughters - a Discourse Analysis of the United States Media’S Portrayal of the Kurdish Female Fighters in Syria

    Lund University FKVK02 Social Sciences Faculty Spring 2020 Peace and Conflict Studies Thesis Advisor: Maria Småberg Feminists, Freedom Fighters and Daughters - A Discourse Analysis of the United States Media’s Portrayal of the Kurdish Female Fighters in Syria Sophie Hogevall Antal tecken: 69 658 Abstract The purpose of this study is to examine how the US media has portrayed the Kurdish female fighters in Syria. Since the battle of Kobane the fighters of the Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) have been sensationalised and received immense attention in western news media. Previous research has shown that female combatants are portrayed differently than their male counterparts, and this assumption is the foundation for the research on the representations of the YPJ. Thirteen articles from ten different newspapers in the United States were analysed through a Critical Discourse Analysis which was complemented by a framework developed by Brigitte L. Nacos. The research shows that the Female Kurdish fighters are depicted through gendered stereotypes and that there are similarities in their portrayal and depiction of illegitimate political actors. The female fighters are presented as feminists, brave, and rational while framed through their physical appearances and family connections. The analysis also reveals that there is a particular focus on the YPJ members age as well as a recurring theme in US media of trying to separate the Kurdish female fighters from the traditional western image of a Muslim woman.
