Myslet z psychedelických zkušeností tu znamená předložit transdisciplinární model psychedelické domény. Tento model se opírá o autoetnografickou, kognitivní, fenomenologickou a psychofarmakologickou analýzu. Prostřednictvím těchto analýz ukazuje: 1) jaké místo zaujímají psychedelika v současné globalizované české společnosti; 2) možnosti heuristického (teoreticko-experimentálního) využití psychedelických zkušeností pro výklad lidské situovanosti. Psychedelickou zkušenost interpretuje tento text jako proces deteritorializace a reteritorializace různých, vzájemně propletených rovin prožívání a je tak příspěvkem k vypracování filosofického pojmu spleti. Klíčová slova: psychedelická zkušenost, transdisciplinarita, autoetnografie, kognitivní antropologie, antropologie zkušenosti, enaktivismus, fenomenologie, vtělenost, analogie, spleť. Abstract: The goal of this text is to think from and according to psychedelic experiences. To think from psychededic experiences means to introduce a transdisciplinary model of psychedelic domain. This model is based on autoethnographic, cognitive, phenomenological and psychopharmacological types of analysis. These analyses allow to demonstrate: 1) place of psychedelics in contemporary globalised czech society; 2) possible heuristic (theoretical and experiemental) value of psychedelic experience for understanding human situation. This text interprets psychedelic experience as a process of deteritorialization and reteritorialization that occurs on different, intertwinned levels of our experience, and, thus, it is a contribution to explication of a philosophical concept of intertwinning. Keywords: psychedelic experience, transdisciplinarity, autoethnography, cognitive anthropology, anthropology of experience, enactivism, phenomenology, embodiment, analogy, intertwinning. 4 Obsah Obsah .......................................................................................................................... 5 1.

Zkušenost přesahuje teorii, která vždy přichází příliš pozdě a teorie přesahuje zkušenost tím, jak se na ni napojuje, otevírá ji a zpřístupňuje v komunikaci. Proto zde chci myslet podle psychedelických zkušeností, což za prvé znamená otevřít pole těchto zkušeností zevnitř a nechat roviny, které ho protínají a prvky, které se v něm

FACTORES DE COMPETITIVIDAD DE UNA INDUSTRIA CREATIVA DINÁMICA. Este estudio pretende identificar el contexto y las características de los festivales de música en Cataluña, especialmente en un contexto geográfico más amplio, con el objetivo de evaluar hasta qué grado este modelo encaja dentro del marco europeo. Estos eventos se encuentran en una fase de crecimiento y popularidad entre el público sin precedentes, que ha sido facilitada por las nuevas tendencias turísticas, empresariales y de ocio y los ha llevado a ser los eventos culturales más populares en Europa. Son puntos clave en estrategias culturales y turísticas alrededor de Europa, dan trabajo a miles de personas y funcionan como dinamizadores económicos en las regiones donde se celebran. Este estudio analizará el contexto histórico y económico de los festivales Catalanes y Europeos, sus características y tendencias en la actualidad (estado del arte), el efecto que algunos fenómenos han tenido sobre ellos (como las tecnologías digitales, la recesión económica y el crecimiento en popularidad) y las diferencias que separan ambos ecosistemas y los hacen únicos.

    Trivent Publishing © Trivent (2020) Available online at http://trivent-publishing.eu/ Risk Management for Events and Festivals Alexandrina Țenu1, Carmen Nadia Ciocoiu2 1 Bucharest University of Economic Studies, [email protected] 2 Bucharest University of Economic Studies, [email protected] Abstract: The impact and probability of event and festivals risks has increased for several years. Also, the risk management in the event industry has an increasingly important role. Starting from these evolutions, the purpose of this research is to analyze the current situation of risk management in the festival industry and the most important risks faced by festival organizers. There are analyzed the risk management stages specific to the events and festivals industry. Also, there are presented the categories of risks that can be used in the event industry, types of risks whose probability has increased in recent years and new ways to reduce them, as well as a comparative approach between examples of good practice in the field and festivals in Romania. The results may be useful for festivals and events risk managers as well as for researchers in the field. Keywords: event, festival, risk management.

  • Fans, Travel to and from the Show Like Rockstars! Live Nation and Uber Kick Off Marketing Partnership with Venue and Festival Focused Ride Program
    FANS, TRAVEL TO AND FROM THE SHOW LIKE ROCKSTARS! LIVE NATION AND UBER KICK OFF MARKETING PARTNERSHIP WITH VENUE AND FESTIVAL FOCUSED RIDE PROGRAM – Uber Begins Servicing Live Nation Amphitheaters, Clubs, Theaters and Festivals Memorial Day Weekend with Sasquatch! Music Festival and Electric Daisy Carnival New York! – LOS ANGELES (May 14, 2015) – Live Nation and Uber today announced a marketing partnership which will provide concert and festival goers an easy way to get to and from certain Live Nation events when riding with Uber. Uber services will be offered for 20 festivals throughout the year, 62 select Live Nation amphitheaters, clubs and theaters across the U.S. Festivals including the Electric Daisy Carnival, Faster Horses, Music Midtown, HARD Summer Music Festival, and more will be a part of this great program. [Full list is below]. “Fans want the journey to and from a concert to be as smooth as possible,” said Russell Wallach, President of Live Nation Media & Sponsorships. “Uber offers a convenient alternative to driving for riders to any event, and we are thrilled about the experience this brings for all of our fans.” This unique marketing partnership lets fans focus more on the music experience by having easy transportation methods and designated drop-off and pick-up locations, where available, and reduces the frustration associated with traffic and other driving concerns — just fun, friends and music. Building off of the existing integration of Uber's API on Live Nation's mobile application, announced earlier this year, this marketing partnership also simplifies the process of getting a ride to a venue with the inclusion of the automatic address feature, allowing concertgoers a quick, simple way to request an Uber when they want to head to a show with the destination already pre-loaded into the Uber app.

  • Clubbing in Los Angeles Jonny Coleman Tackles the Multi-Farious Scene in One of America's Biggest Cities
    Clubbing in Los Angeles Jonny Coleman tackles the multi-farious scene in one of America's biggest cities. Los Angeles has always been a capital of pop culture. Outside of rave, however, it's never had much of a reputation for its dance music culture. Until recently, that is. The efforts of local promoters have given rise to enormous EDM festivals, the Low End Theory-driven beat scene and thriving techno and house crews—and have led to the city finally becoming internationally recognized. Now, it seems, a place that houses four million people inside the city limits and 18 million in the greater Southland area, is finally representing itself on the world stage. True to its geography—a set of suburbs fronting as a megalopolis—Los Angeles doesn't have a dominant sound or theme. Instead, there are many scenes tugging for attention and battling over the few legitimate dance venues the city has to offer. It's enormously difficult to acquire a liquor license in LA, thanks in no small part to club-owning cowboys like Eddie Nash (of Wonderland murder fame), and those that do can't serve all that late anyway. Most nights last from 10 until 2 or 3 AM (a reality that often results in seeing your headlining DJ for two hours). It doesn't help that many of the historical clubs/bars in places like Hollywood and West Hollywood are a tough sell to fans of underground music, as the price points, degree of parking difficulty and douchebaggery quotient are all high. That means that many parties of note take place downtown or in other east side neighborhoods (if not a private estate).

Domaćin ovogodišnjega 18. kongresa je naša Muzička akademija koja je u svijetu poznata po izvrsnosti svoje Zagrebačke saksofonističke škole koju je utemeljio profesor Josip Nochta. Tijekom 5 dana, na više od 400 događanja, na brojnim mjestima u gradu će se predstaviti i susresti vrhunski glazbeni profesionalci, studenti i amateri. Bit će to, uvjeren sam, praznik glazbe, prigoda za promociju različitih stilova i izričaja te za razmjenu ideja. Svojom otvorenosti za publiku Kongres će obogatiti Zagrebačko kulturno ljeto te će doprinijeti boljem pozicioniranju Zagreba i Hrvatske na svjetskoj karti kulturnog turizma.
