From Greek and Roman architects, to arts and inventors such as Leonardo do Vinci, Roy Lichtenstein, Kendall Shaw, and the Gee’s Bend quilters, students explore our world, nature, and order in principles of art and design based on these concepts.

One such social setting that most of us experience on a daily basis concerns the team context. Building on recent theorizing about the humor—performance association in teams, this study seeks to increase our understanding of the function and effects of humor in team interaction settings.

Notes and Discussions Nietzsche and Aestheticism 1o Alexander Nehamas's Nietzsche: L~fe as Literature' has enjoyed an enthusiastic reception since its publication in 1985 . Reviewed in a wide array of scholarly journals and even in the popular press, the book has won praise nearly everywhere and has already earned for Nehamas--at least in the intellectual community at large--the reputation as the preeminent American Nietzsche scholar. At least two features of the book may help explain this phenomenon. First, Nehamas's Nietzsche is an imaginative synthesis of several important currents in recent Nietzsche commentary, reflecting the influence of writers like Jacques Der- rida, Sarah Kofman, Paul De Man, and Richard Rorty. These authors figure, often by name, throughout Nehamas's book; and it is perhaps Nehamas's most important achievement to have offered a reading of Nietzsche that incorporates the insights of these writers while surpassing them all in the philosophical ingenuity with which this style of interpreting Nietzsche is developed. The high profile that many of these thinkers now enjoy on the intellectual landscape accounts in part for the reception accorded the "Nietzsche" they so deeply influenced.

Franco 2,* 1 Facultad de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas, Universidad de Manizales, Manizales 170003, Colombia 2 Grupo de Investigación en Fenómenos de Superficie—Michael Polanyi, Departamento de Procesos y Energía, Facultad de Minas, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Sede Medellín, Medellín 050034, Colombia * Correspondence: [email protected] (A.F.A.-A.); [email protected] (C.A.F.) Abstract: This study was developed during 2018 and 2019, with 10th- and 11th-grade students from the Jose Maria Obando High School (Fredonia, Antioquia, Colombia) as the target population. Here, the “art as a method” was proposed, in which, after a diagnostic, three moments were developed to establish a dialogue between art and mathematics. The moments include Moment 1: introduction to art and mathematics as ways of doing art, Moment 2: collective experimentation, and Moment 3: re-signification of education as a model of experience. The methodology was derived from different mathematical-based theories, such as pendulum motion, centrifugal force, solar energy, and Chladni plates, allowing for the exploration of possibilities to new paths of knowledge from proposing the creative act. Likewise, the possibility of generating a broad vision of reality arose from the creative act, where understanding was reached from logical-emotional perspectives beyond the rational vision of science and its descriptions. Keywords: art; art as method; creative act; mathematics 1. Introduction Citation: Arias-Alfonso, A.F.; Franco, C.A. The Creative Act in the Dialogue There has always been a conception in the collective imagination concerning the between Art and Mathematics.

  • DISGUST: Features and SAWCHUK and Clinical Implications
    Journal of Social and Clinical Psychology, Vol. 24, No. 7, 2005, pp. 932-962 OLATUNJIDISGUST: Features AND SAWCHUK and Clinical Implications DISGUST: CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES, SOCIAL MANIFESTATIONS, AND CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS BUNMI O. OLATUNJI University of Massachusetts CRAIG N. SAWCHUK University of Washington School of Medicine Emotions have been a long–standing cornerstone of research in social and clinical psychology. Although the systematic examination of emotional processes has yielded a rather comprehensive theoretical and scientific literature, dramatically less empirical attention has been devoted to disgust. In the present article, the na- ture, experience, and other associated features of disgust are outlined. We also re- view the domains of disgust and highlight how these domains have expanded over time. The function of disgust in various social constructions, such as cigarette smoking, vegetarianism, and homophobia, is highlighted. Disgust is also becoming increasingly recognized as an influential emotion in the onset, maintenance, and treatment of various phobic states, Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder, and eating disorders. In comparison to the other emotions, disgust offers great promise for fu- ture social and clinical research efforts, and prospective studies designed to improve our understanding of disgust are outlined. The nature, structure, and function of emotions have a rich tradition in the social and clinical psychology literature (Cacioppo & Gardner, 1999). Although emotion theorists have contested over the number of discrete emotional states and their operational definitions (Plutchik, 2001), most agree that emotions are highly influential in organizing thought processes and behavioral tendencies (Izard, 1993; John- Preparation of this manuscript was supported in part by NIMH NRSA grant 1F31MH067519–1A1 awarded to Bunmi O.

Revisiting classical aesthetics in the light of recent psychological research, we present a novel model to explain this much discussed (apparent) paradox. We argue that negative emotions are an important resource for the arts in general, rather than a special license for exceptional art forms only. The underlying rationale is that negative emotions have been shown to be particularly powerful in securing attention, intense emotional involvement, and high memorability, and hence is precisely what artworks strive for. Two groups of processing mechanisms are identified that conjointly adopt the particular powers of negative emotions for art’s purposes.

  • Mathematical Concepts Within the Artwork of Lewitt and Escher
    A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Alfred University More than Visual: Mathematical Concepts Within the Artwork of LeWitt and Escher by Kelsey Bennett In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Alfred University Honors Program May 9, 2019 Under the Supervision of: Chair: Dr. Amanda Taylor Committee Members: Barbara Lattanzi John Hosford 1 Abstract The goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the relationship between mathematics and art. To do so, I have explored the work of two artists, M.C. Escher and Sol LeWitt. Though these artists approached the role of mathematics in their art in different ways, I have observed that each has employed mathematical concepts in order to create their rule-based artworks. The mathematical ideas which serve as the backbone of this thesis are illustrated by the artists' works and strengthen the bond be- tween the two subjects of art and math. My intention is to make these concepts accessible to all readers, regardless of their mathematical or artis- tic background, so that they may in turn gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between mathematics and art. To do so, we begin with a philosophical discussion of art and mathematics. Next, we will dissect and analyze various pieces of work by Sol LeWitt and M.C. Escher. As part of that process, we will also redesign or re-imagine some artistic pieces to further highlight mathematical concepts at play within the work of these artists. 1 Introduction What is art? The Merriam-Webster dictionary provides one definition of art as being \the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic object" ([1]).
