  • Reflections from the Developments of School Science Curricula
    Imitation game: Reflections from the developments of school science curricula SONG, Jinwoong (宋眞雄) Department of Physics Education, Seoul National University What will fulfill this need can be stated in equally simple terms. It is, ironically enough, that science be taught as science. (Joseph J. Schwab, 1962: 188-9) 1.Introduction The Imitation Game is a 2014 British historical drama film directed by Morten Tyldu m and written by Graham Moore, based on the biography Alan Turing: The Enigma by A ndrew Hodges. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as British cryptanalyst Alan Turing, who dec rypted German intelligence codes for the British government during the Second World War (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Imitation_Game). The ’Imitation Game’ refers to so-calle d ‘Turing Test’ which is a test for artificial intelligence suggested by a famous British ma thematician, Alan Turing (1912-54), who is known as the father of the computer. Through his paper, “Computing machinery and intelligence” (1950), Tuning gave a conceptual fou ndation of AI (Artificial Intelligence), by suggesting the Turing Test, “a test of a machine’ s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a h uman.” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_test) Science is now considered as one of the core (often three of them) subjects across th e world, together with the national language and mathematics. For example, in PISA studi es, science is included in the three main areas, with literacy and mathematics (e.g. OECD, 2018). And, in TIMSS studies, science and mathematics are the two main subjects for th e international comparison (https://timssandpirls.bc.edu/timss2015/).

Esta popularidad no es solo cuestión de extensión sino también de edad. Niñas/os, jóvenes y adultas/os han podido conocer estos mundos gracias a la diversidad de medios que acaparan.

El mundo narrativo resultante también es atractivo para otros usuarios que toman parte de mismo creando sus propias aportaciones. A esto se le conoce como narrativa transmedia y lleva siendo objeto de estudio desde principios de siglo. Este trabajo consiste en el estudio de caso transmedia de Canción de Hielo y Fuego la saga de novelas que posteriormente se adaptó a la televisión como Juego de Tronos y que ha sido causa de un fenómeno fan durante la presente década.

  • 'Cumberbatch' Hamlet (1):'The Very Age and Body of the Time His Form
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Worcester Research and Publications The ‘Cumberbatch’ Hamlet (1):‘The very age and body of the time his form and pressure’ Boika Sokolova University of Notre Dame (U.S.A.) in England Nicoleta Cinpoeş University of Worcester, UK Abstract: This essay reads Lyndsey Turner’s 2015 Hamlet at the Barbican Theatre in London against the production’s priorities, namely, being star, new audience and box- office driven. It explores the negotiation of the script, space and politics at the heart of this production. Giving its due when discussing the cinematic employment of cuts, editing, lighting and freeze frames, it acknowledges that some of the special effects were lost to the theatre spectator, per force cast in a secondary role in a production that prioritised live-streaming across the world. Keywords: Cumberbatch, Turner, cinematic, politics, action design, Hamlet, Ophelia, Gertrude Corresponding author: Dr Nicoleta Cinpoeş Institute of Humanities and Creative Arts Bredon Building Henwick Grove Worcester WR2 6AJ UK [email protected] This assessment comes more than a year after the much hyped production of Hamlet with Benedict Cumberbatch took stage and screens by storm. The delay has afforded us the comfort of the longer view, after the dust of the media hysteria has settled, as have our own emotional responses to the production, directed by Lyndsey Turner, which we saw in different venues.1 As audience members and as reviewers here, we inevitably bring to the table our own Hamlet experiences, which are informed by a broader European tradition of the play in performance and adaptation.
