El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la relación entre la práctica de actividades de expresión corporal y la creatividad motriz. Para medir los niveles de creatividad motriz se administró una adaptación del test Thinking Creatively in Action and Movement de Torrance (1981a, 1981b) a una muestra de 22 alumnos de Educación Primaria practicantes y no practicantes de actividades de expresión corporal. Los datos obtenidos indican que los niveles más elevados de creatividad corresponden al grupo de practicantes en fluidez, flexibilidad, originalidad y expresividad, encontrándose diferencias significativas en todos los indicadores excepto en originalidad. Los resultados parecen sugerir que las actividades de expresión corporal favorecen la capacidad creativa del alumnado. Palabras clave: expresión corporal, creatividad motriz, desarrollo, educación física.Abstract: The objective of this study is analyze the relation between the practice of bodily expression activities and motor creativity. In order to evaluate the motor creativity levels we use an adaptation of the test Thinking creatively in Action and Movement (Torrance,1981a, 1981b) in 22 participants of Primary Education practising and no practising of bodily expression. The dates obtained show that the higher levels of creativity are in the practising group for fluency, flexibility, originality and expression, finding significative diferences in all the creative indicators except originality. Our results seem demostrate that bodily expression activities contribute to develop creative capacitie of pupils. Keywords: bodily expression, motor creativity, development, physical education.

Full textAbstract:
Le constat de départ de cette recherche, souligné par la littérature, est celui du débat permanent au sein des organisations créatives, entre priorités artistiques et créatives d'un côté et intérêts économiques de l'autre côté. Nous interrogeons la manière dont les acteurs créatifs gèrent les contraintes économiques qui les entourent dans ce contexte marqué par la rationalisation. Au travers d'une étude qualitative et approfondie de l'industrie de la mode -entretiens et travail ethnographique, nous avons observé les pratiques quotidiennes des acteurs créatifs du secteur. Premièrement, et au travers du travail de Michel de Certeau, nous révélons ici les différentes tactiques et autres arrangements que ceux-ci développent vis-à-vis des contraintes, une forme d'action qui joue un rôle important dans les organisations créatives. Cette forme d'action, que l'on nomme trouble du créatif, entretient une ambiguïté autour du travail créatif en organisation, nécessaire pour créer. Ensuite, nous révélons les forces socio-matérielles et affectives qui constituent les pratiques créatives de façon intrinsèque, et soulignons le poids de telles forces dans la négociation permanente avec les motifs économiques. Subséquemment, nous proposons le concept de créativité-en-action, une manière à la fois incarnée, matérielle et affective d'agir créatif, au sein des industries créativesThis PhD departs from the research literature that underlines the on-going debate arising in creative companies, between art/creative priorities on the one hand and economic/business interests on the other hand. We wonder how actors involved into the creative process deal with economic and rationalization constraints. Through an in-depth, qualitative study in fashion industry -interviews and ethnographic work, we investigate empirically the daily practices of creative actors. First, and notably through Michel de Certeau's work, we reveal the various tactics and arrangements that they develop towards such constraints, as a form of action that plays an important role in creative organizations. This form of action we call creative fuzziness maintains a necessary ambiguity around creative work. Second, we underline the socio-material and affective forces that inherently constitute creative practices, and how much such forces weigh in the economic negotiation. We then suggest the concept of creativity-in-action, an embodied-material and affective way of acting creative, within creative industries

Full textAbstract:
In the context of a rapidly changing world, higher order thinking skills are necessary for sustainability of U.S. society. Beginning with the premise that U.S. public schools are charged with the constitutional duty of growing children into informed and educated citizens, prepared to thrive in the world of work and to participate in democratic processes; and, that higher order thinking is a core part of that mission, this study examined children’s perspectives on school climate and the environment for the teaching and learning of higher order thinking in twenty five public elementary schools in an urban Connecticut school district. This integrated program of research used an exploratory sequential/concurrent mixed methods design to construct a pair of new psychometric instruments to measure student attitudes toward school climate and the environment for teaching and learning higher order thinking in a public elementary school. The intended uses and interpretations of the scores reported by the Climate4Creativity Elementary (C4C/SPE) and Middle School (C4C/SPM) Student Perspectives measurement instruments, were validated to professional standards. The study concluded that these instruments have utility for public elementary schools, particularly in identifying areas of focus and in the management of strategic and tactical school improvement work as part of a wider program of transformation in a school. Cronbach’s Alpha reliability scores in excess of 0.90 were reported for all measures. This study supported the core idea that safer schools with stronger, more caring communities provide individual students with better learning environments, and that general learning and the learning of creativity are intrinsically linked in the minds of students in public elementary schools, even though these students may not always name these components as such. The environment for learning higher order thinking measure tends to deteriorate from the early grades to middle school grades, implying both raised expectations, and an increase in variability in the data due to more and more variety in classroom settings and teacher practices. Examination of reported bullying experience shows bullying victimization to be a powerful, pervasive determinant of school climate and feelings of safety and community in all grades, but, bullying victimization tends not to penetrate into perceptions of the classroom learning environment to the same degree. By exploring school safety, community, and the structure of the learning environment required for the teaching and learning of higher order thinking in a public elementary school, this work begins the creation of a framework to enable school leaders to make significant, transformational, strategic change in their schools.

Cobb, Maggie Colleen. "Songwriting as Inquiry and Action: Emotion, Narrative Identity, and Authenticity in Folk Music Culture." Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6208.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation can broadly be summarized as an examination of the construction and maintenance of a specific type of “authentic” American identity through the lens of folk music. Drawing from interpretive perspectives within the sociology of culture and social psychology, social constructionism and symbolic interactionism in particular, I combine ethnographic research with 61 interviews at two different “folk musicians’ festivals” (festivals where attendees, not hired professionals, produce the music).
My principal focus at these festivals concerns the various practices and stories surrounding the creation and performance of original folk music. I use the empirical platform of musicians’ festivals, where folk songwriters are plenty, combined with the theoretical synthesis of music and narrative, to examine how such practices and stories shape, and are shaped by, culture, emotion, and identity. Specifically, I am interested in the cultural “work” accomplished by the interrelationships among music and narrative at festivals, around songwriting, and in songs, particularly as such “work” relates to the (re)production and reception of folk and festival culture, participants’ emotional experiences, the construction and maintenance of participants’ personal and collective identities, and the purposeful evocation of social change.
In attending to the importance of process and meaning-making, I examine the process through which one accomplishes authenticity as a folk and festival member, the creative process of songwriting, and the process through which listeners experience and interpret “good songs.” I offer the concepts (and processes) of songwriting as inquiry and songwriting in action to account for how these interrelationships “work” for songwriters and listeners, but also for sociologists, particularly in terms of including the (mostly neglected) lived and embodied dimensions of emotional experience. Throughout, I explore how stories and practices in and around the process of musical production and performance are largely influenced by broader cultural narratives that circulate in and around folk music culture, particularly as they relate to the notion of “authentic identity” through emotionality, creativity, and social justice.

(Project Management). Aquests mètodes presenten importants avantatges però tenen
algunes limitacions. Aquesta tesi doctoral és una aportació bàsica al tema de la tensió
entre creativitat i productivitat, en la direcció de la investigació científica a través dels
mètodes propis de la Gestió de Projectes. I de forma més general, destaca la funció del
judici creatiu en l’execució de projectes on les operacions estan clarament especificades
i determinen el desenvolupament del projecte.
El propòsit de la Gestió de Projectes és controlar i coordinar el projecte de forma
racional, això suposa especificar de forma precisa l’objectiu i l’abast de les seves
operacions. Aquests requisits no es poden assolir en projectes que tenen un objectiu
ambigu i requereixen creativitat. El concepte fenomenològic de projecte mental
desenvolupat per Alfred Schutz és més flexible i la seva aplicació amplia els aspectes
tècnics de la Gestió de Projectes. La seva teoria de l’acció intencional suposa que cada
acció canvia l’estat present de les coses i està composta d’un propòsit, un projecte
mental que és un assaig de l’acte futur, i la realització de l’acte. Des d’aquí, introdueix el
concepte de subacció i l’enfoc crític de que tota acció repetida és una acció nova, similar
a una acció prèviament realitzada.
Aquest treball d’investigació emfatitza que els aspectes següents, presents en la
gestió de projectes, requereixen judici, i que per lo tant possibiliten espais per a la
creativitat. Primer, que el projecte mental d’una nova acció es crea combinant varies
subaccions ja realitzades. Segon, la comprensió de que cada acció és similar a les altres
accions ja realitzades. I tercer, que el projecte mental pot ser considerat com una
hipòtesis del que ocorrerà quan s’executi l’acció. El judici s’ocupa d’aquestes
semblances i adverteix a l’actor d’altres temes i desenvolupaments possibles.
Addicionalment, aquest treball introdueix una perspectiva nova del concepte de rutina,
de la seva evolució i del seu funció en la investigació científica, i manifesta la profunda
relació entre retòrica i judici.
La investigació empírica està associada al context d’una important infraestructura

desenvolupa la creació d’aquesta organització científica, lo qual permet presentar

L’aportació de la tesis doctoral, en quan a la gestió científica i de projectes, amplia
la gestió de projectes que ofereixen els mètodes habituals de la Gestió de Projectes
(Project Management).Tras la Segunda Guerra mundial, la investigación científica se ha organizado mediante proyectos y ha sido dirigida utilizando los métodos habituales de la Gestión de Proyectos (Project Management). Estos métodos ofrecen importantes ventajas pero tienen algunas limitaciones. La presente tesis doctoral explora la tensión entre creatividad y productividad cuando se dirige la investigación científica con los métodos propios de la Gestión de Proyectos. Y de forma más general, resalta la función del juicio creativo en la ejecución de proyectos cuyas operaciones están claramente especificadas y determinan el desarrollo del proyecto. El propósito de la Gestión de Proyectos es controlar y coordinar el proyecto de forma racional, lo que supone especificar de forma precisa su objetivo y el alcance de sus operaciones. Estos requisitos no se cumplen en proyectos cuyo objetivo es ambiguo y requiere creatividad. El concepto fenomenológico de proyecto mental desarrollado por Alfred Schutz es flexible y su aplicación amplía los aspectos técnicos de la Gestión de Proyectos. Su teoría de la acción intencional supone que cada acción cambia el estado presente de las cosas y está compuesta de un propósito, un proyecto mental que es un ensayo del acto futuro, y el desempeño del acto. Entonces introduce el concepto de subacción y el enfoque crítico de que toda acción repetida es una acción nueva, similar a una acción previamente desempeñada. Este trabajo de investigación enfatiza que los aspectos siguientes, presentes en la gestión de proyectos, requieren de juicio, y que por ello posibilitan espacios para la creatividad. Primero, que el proyecto mental de una nueva acción se crea combinando varias sub-acciones ya desempeñadas. Segundo, la comprensión de que cada acción es a lo sumo similar a otras acciones ya desempeñadas. Y tercero, que el proyecto mental puede ser considerado como una hipótesis de lo que ocurrirá cuando se ejecute la acción. El juicio se ocupa de estas semejanzas y advierte al actor de otros temas y desarrollos posibles. Adicionalmente, este trabajo introduce una perspectiva nueva del concepto de rutina, de su evolución y de su papel en la investigación científica, y descubre la profunda relación entre retórica y juicio. La investigación empírica está asociada al contexto de una importante infraestructura científica española, el Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). Y expone, en primer lugar, la creación de esta organización científica, permitiendo presentar algunos aspectos importantes sobre la tensión entre la estructura organizativa y la agencia de los investigadores.

Since World War II, science and research has been organized into projects and managed using the methods of Project Management. These methods offer important advantages, but also have some limitations. This doctoral dissertation presents some basic contributions to the subject of the tension between creativity and productivity in managing research with the methods of Project Management, and, more generally, the subject of the function of creative judgment in the execution of precisely specified projects in any kind of activity, which seem to determine all the operations involved in the development of a project. Project Management aims to rationally controlling and coordinating a project, which involves the clear specification of its goal and operations. These requirements are not fulfilled when dealing with projects whose goal is ambiguous and they require creativity. The phenomenological notion of mental project developed by Alfred Schutz is more flexible and its application extends the technical aspect of Project Management. His theory considers that each intentional action changes the present state of affairs and involves a purpose, a mental project that is a mental rehearsal of a future act, and the performance of the act. He also introduces, the notion of subactions and the critical view that a repeated action is a new action similar to an already performed action. The doctoral research emphasizes that the following aspects of project management involve judgment, creating spaces for creativity to occur: first, the mental project of a new action can be created combining many subactions already performed. Second, the recognition that an action has similarities and differences with already performed actions. Third, the mental project can be considered as a hypothesis about what will happen in the execution of the act. Judgment deals with these differences and it makes the actor aware of other possible subjects and developments. The conceptual research, also introduces a new way of looking at routines, their evolution and their role in scientific research. In this line of thought, it uncovers the deep relationship between rhetoric and judgment. The empirical research is associated to the context of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), an important Spanish research infrastructure. And it firstly develops a case study on the creation of this research organization that allows presenting some important aspects about the tension between the structure of the organization and the agency of the researchers. It then develops the subjects related to the tension between creativity and productivity in executing projects, developed in the conceptual framework, such as the notion of projects of the researchers and the judgment involved in the execution of their projects. The contribution of this doctoral dissertation, in managing research institutions and projects, extends the way of managing projects with the common methods of Project Management.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Organisational entrepreneurship is an entrepreneurial event. By-products of such events may include the emergence of business organisations. In this study, I discuss the event of organisational entrepreneurship fostered by organisational creativity. An event of organisational entrepreneurship can happen in the context of social spaces for play and innovation. In these social spaces, novelty, movement, and change are outcomes of the role of organisational entrepreneurship in society. The dissertation consists of four essays. Prior research defines organisational entrepreneurship as a relationship between the managerial order and organisational creativity. This particular relationship, rather than being a precise state, is one that problematises the tradition of studying entrepreneurship as a sub-discipline of management. Researchers tend to be drawn to studying the entrepreneurial order, but less so the play and innovation that contribute to the creativity aspect. Whilst permitting space for play and innovation have been acknowledged to be crucial, the role of play and innovation between the discourses of business opportunities and entrepreneurial becoming has not been discussed. The literature review in this study shows that understanding the concepts of entrepreneurial actions and processes is key to explicating organisational entrepreneurship. Hence, the principal research question of this study is: how do entrepreneurial actions and processes frame the very nature of the event of organisational entrepreneurship? There are four sub-questions (one for each essay) that illustrate how an entrepreneurial event is about creation of new spaces for play and innovation. The purpose of this study is to show what role playfulness and innovativeness play in organisational entrepreneurship. I have empirically investigated how international business opportunities may be created through entrepreneurial actions in a multinational collaboration project, and found that social learning is at the heart of the process. In addition, I have examined an entrepreneurial process through the story of an up-and-coming stand-up comedian. This study shows that the entrepreneurial process emerges from the desire to become-Other. The entrepreneurial stories of this qualitative study come from two data sets (conducted in Finland and in Denmark). The research outline problematises the prior research, in which storytelling is rarely used. The dissertation concludes by suggesting that one role of playfulness and innovativeness is to create business opportunities and entrepreneurial becomingTiivistelmä Organisatorinen yrittäjyys on yksi yrittäjämäinen tila. Tällaisessa tilassa monenlaisten sivutuotteiden, kuten liikeyrityksen, syntyminen on mahdollista. Organisatorinen luovuus tukee näiden tilojen luomiseen liittyvää tekemistä ja prosesseja. Yrittäjämäiset tilat ovat mahdollisia konteksteissa, joita tässä väitöskirjatutkimuksessa tutkittiin tiloina leikille ja innovaatioille. Näiden tilojen ansiosta uutuus, liike ja muutos ovat mahdollisia ja ne kuvaavat organisatorisen yrittäjyyden roolia yhteiskunnassa. Tämä väitöskirja on neljän esseen kokoelma. Aikaisempi tutkimus määrittelee organisatorisen yrittäjyyden johtajuuden hallinnan ja organisatorisen luovuuden väliseksi suhteeksi. Ennemmin kuin jokin tila tällä jatkumolla suhde sinänsä kyseenalaistaa tradition, joka tutkii yrittäjyyttä johtajuustutkimuksen koulukuntana. Siinä tutkimusintressi on ollut hallinta, mutta ei kovin usein leikki ja innovaatiot. Vaikka leikki ja innovaatiot on nähty tärkeinä asioina, siitä huolimatta niiden roolia linkkinä liiketoimintamahdollisuuksien luomisen ja yrittäjämäiseksi tulemisen välillä ei ole vielä kovin hyvin tutkittu. Tämän tutkimuksen kirjallisuuskatsaus osoittaa, että yrittäjämäiset toiminnot ja prosessit ovat keskeisimmät käsitteet organisatorisessa yrittäjyydessä. Tutkimuksen päätutkimuskysymys kuuluu: kuinka yrittäjämäiset toiminnot ja prosessit rajaavat organisatorisen yrittäjyyden syvimmän luonteen yrittäjämäisenä tapahtumana? Tutkimuksen tarkoitus on näyttää, mikä rooli leikinomaisuudella ja innovatiivisuudella on organisatorisessa yrittäjyydessä silloin, kun se nähdään yrittäjämäisenä tilana. Tutkin empiirisesti kansainvälisten liiketoimintamahdollisuuksien luomista ja sitä, miten se tapahtuu monikansallisessa yhteistyöprojektissa. Tuloksena löysin, että se on sosiaalista oppimista. Lisäksi tutkin yrittäjämäiseksi tulemisen prosessia standup-koomikoksi tulevan henkilön kautta. Se näyttää, että syy yrittäjämäisen prosessin ilmentymiselle on intohimo tulla toiseksi. Tutkimuksen yrittäjämäiset tarinat perustuvat kahdelle aineiston lähteelle (tehty Suomessa ja Tanskassa). Tutkimusasetelma kyseenalaistaa tutkimuksen, jossa tarinankerrontaa on käytetty harvoin. Tulokset osoittavat, että leikinomaisuuden ja innovatiivisuuden rooli on luoda uusia liiketoimintamahdollisuuksia ja yrittäjämäiseksi tulemisen prosesseja

Le Montage Composite Réceptif à visée Projective (MCR-P) est une psychothérapie brève et médiatisée associant technique d’induction musicale et entretien clinique dans l’objectif de lutter contre la dépression hospitalisée. Cette thèse comporte trois études qui ont comme but de montrer l’efficacité thérapeutique du MCR-P contre la dépression en psychiatrie ainsi que d’explorer, valider et permettre de valider les processus thérapeutiques mis en jeu. L’étude n°1 est une recherche sur l’une des composantes du MCR-P, soit le MCR, qui est une technique d’induction musicale qui propose une humeur positive et une relaxation à des personnes dépressives en psychiatrie. Basée sur 37 sujets, les résultats confirment les effets prétendus de la technique. Cet outil peut être utilisé pour favoriser le confort du patient en psychiatrie ou à utiliser avec d’autres psychothérapies pour favoriser l’alliance thérapeutique. L’étude n°2 évalue l’efficacité thérapeutique du MCR-P sur le taux de dépression de personnes dépressives en psychiatrie. De plus, une analyse qualitative a été menée pour identifier les processus thérapeutiques rapportés par les sujets eux-mêmes. Les résultats montrent que les personnes bénéficiant du MCR-P ont moins de dépression que d’autres patients sur trois séances. Les processus identifiés sont d’ordre émotionnel, cognitif, conatif et clinique. Le phénomène le plus prégnant est l’imagination. L’étude n°3 a permis de traduire et de valider psychométriquement un test de créativité : l’Epstein Creativity Competencies Inventory for Individuals version française (ECCI-i-FR). Constitué à partir de 280 individus contactés par internet, les résultats rapportent que l’outil a une validité nomologique et concourante ainsi qu’une fidélité satisfaisante. Ces constats permettent l’utilisation de l’ECCI-i-FR dans de nombreux domaines, notamment en recherche en psychiatrie ou encore pour l’évaluation de thérapies médiatisées, tel que le MCR-PThe Receptive Projective Composite Montage (RPCM) is a short-term psychotherapy which includes a musical medium. The RPCM combines a musical induction technique with a clinical interview in order to help in-patients during the treatment of their depression. This thesis contains three studies which aim at showing the therapeutic efficiency of the RPCM against depression and to explore, confirm and allow the confirmation of the therapeutic processes at stake. The first study is a research project on one of the RPCM components, that is the RCM. It is a musical induction technique that causes a positive state and a relaxation state to in-patients who receive psychiatric treatment for depression. Based on 37 subjects, the results confirm the anticipated effects of the technique. This tool improves the in-patient's comfort and can be used with other psychotherapies to strengthen the therapeutic alliance. The second study evaluates the efficiency of the RPCM on the depression level of in-patients diagnosed with depression. Moreover, a qualitative analysis has been performed in order to identify the therapeutic processes reported from the patients themselves. The results show that in patients who received the RPCM over three sessions have a lower depression level as opposed to other in-patients. The identified processes are: emotional, cognitive, conative and clinical. The most relevant phenomenon is imagination. The third and last study allowed to psychometrically validate a creativity test: the Epstein Creativity Competencies Inventory for Individuals (French version: ECCI-i-FR). Gathered from 280 individuals contacted through the internet, results show that the tool has a nomological and concurrent validity as well as a satisfactory accuracy. These results allow for the usage of the ECCI-i-FR in numerous fields, especially in psychiatric research or for the evaluation of mediatized therapies, such as the RPCM

Full textAbstract:
Adoptant la langue des flux et des fluides, la théorie sociologique caractérisent aujourd’hui les acteurs sociaux comme des êtres composites, prédisposés à changer et capables d’agencements feuilletés. Alors que l’importance de la mobilité pour penser et analyser le social contemporain est généralement reconnue, rare sont les travaux qui se consacre à en développer les modalités fondamentales. L’objectif de cette thèse est de développer une approche plus différenciée et gradualiste des mobilités que celle proposée par les principales options théoriques en vigueur, sans pour autant abandonner la dimension fluctuante, non linéaire et imprévisible du mouvement sur laquelle elles attirent l’attention. Qu’est-ce qu’être mobile ?Une théorie de l’expérience, en l’occurrence celle proposée par la phénoménologie, offrirait-elle des ressources critiques susceptibles d’ouvrir à l’approfondissement des mobilités comme elles sont vécues ?À titre d’hypothèse, cette thèse pose qu’un ensemble de phénomènes demeurent énigmatiques à l’intérieur de la conception généralement admise du social contemporain et qu’une articulation plus explicite du thème de la mobilité à celui de l’action humaine permet d’approfondir les processus du déplacement dans l’espace des sociétés, du passage du temps impliqué par le déplacement et du changement social. Comment émerge du nouveau dans le cours d’actions ?Qu’est-ce que pouvoir agir ?Quelle est la source du changement ?À partir d’une enquête inédite sur des voyageurs se rendant quotidiennement à Bruxelles et des personnages de romans de route étatsuniens, l’auteur explore des questions de fond portant sur l’expérience du transport, autour de l’éloignement des choses et des personnes aimées, du vide du temps d’attente, des aléas aussi insignifiants qu’irritants, de l’étrangeté des rencontres, de la décision de prendre la route et de choisir une orientation nouvelle. Ces moments de vacillation sont importants, soutient l’auteur, car ils nous ramènent aux motivations fondamentales et aux buts ultimes de nos déplacements les plus quotidiens. À une époque marquée par un idéal de mouvement fluide et sans accrocs, cette thèse éclaire ce qui se passe dans l’expérience des mobilités. Elle incite à une réflexion sur ce que nous éprouvons sur la route et aux possibles que cette expérience fait émerger.Doctorat en Sciences politiques et sociales

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la mise en place d’un ERP (Enterprise Resource planning) dans un groupe de petites filiales à travers une recherche action canonique multi-cycles menée par le chercheur, directeur de projet ERP durant deux ans. Les filiales sont confrontées à de multiples défis : déployer un ERP standard tout en préservant leur flexibilité, concilier les contraintes groupe et contraintes locales, faire avec les moyens du bord vu les ressources limitées. Ce contexte constitue une opportunité pour approfondir la théorie du bricolage, peu mobilisée dans la littérature ERP. Les résultats montrent des processus de bricolage collectif multi-niveaux : intra-filiales, inter-filiales et groupe. Ces processus de bricolage permettent une amélioration continue de l’ERP et son appropriation, et conduisent au final à la conception et l’usage de solutions difficiles à imiter, ce qui génère un avantage compétitif. Ces processus de bricolage collectif supposent des conditions initiales propices, et une évolution d’une symbolique contraignante (ERP standard, best practices) vers une symbolique habilitante. Chemin faisant, le bricolage contribue à développer le réservoir et les capacités créatives, ce qui décuple en retour le potentiel du bricolage, favorisant simultanément les innovations technologiques et managérialesThis PhD thesis focuses on the implementation of an ERP in a group of small subsidiaries through a multi-cycle canonical action research conducted by the researcher, ERP project manager for two years. Subsidiaries face multiple challenges : deploying a standard ERP while preserving their flexibility, reconciling the group constraints and local constraints, making do with means at hand given the limited resources. This context is an opportunity to deepen the theory of bricolage, little mobilized in the ERP literature. The results show multilevel collective bricolage processes: intra-affiliates, inter-affiliates and group. These bricolage processes allow continuous improvement of the ERP and its appropriation, and ultimately lead to the design and use of solutions that are difficult to imitate, which generates a competitive advantage. These collective bricolage processes assume favorable initial conditions and an evolution from a constraining symbolic (standard ERP, best practices) to an enabling symbolic. Along the way, bricolage contributes to developing thecreative reservoir and capacities, which in turn increases the potential of bricolage, while simultaneously promoting technological and managerial innovations

This work reflects the present concerns of the humankind, their inventions and their habitat. The destruction of the nature and the future of our planet are in deep jeopardy, however the new technologic discoveries has the possibility to approach man to the nature, of course, if applied rationally, at the same time sensible. The actions of the modern man are consequences of the traditional science, which places the reason as the sole and only way to the truth. Today, we noticed that the absolute truth does not exist. In consequence, by the absence of the truth, the human been, feels abandoned. As long as we try to understand questions such as diversity, the mutation and new technologies, the world becomes more complex to us. To resolve this paradox, the man needs to look deeply around the world and try to find new solutions. The confrontation between man and object on a consistent way is fundamental to build a diverse future. The search for a different world is founded in Ilya Prigogine, Charles Sanders Peirce and Edgar Morin sources of in exhaustive reflection. Prigogine affirms future is not something established in advance, yet in constant construction, he emphasizes that future is possible, if we act properly to change. In his letter, "the future generations", he convoked youngsters to act for a different tomorrow. The art is present in all human being manifestations, it is crucial to redeem the sensibility that has been lost in the tyranny of the reason. Since the beginning of humanity, man and art always been partners, this cannot be forgotten or ignored. We presented 3 artists that amplified the artistic savoir-faire. Lygia Clark proposed to the contemporary man the re-discovery of the body by the sensorial memory, Frans Krajcberg, directed his life to alert against nature destruction, Joseph Beuys invests in the individuals actions, as he considers that all individuals are artists. Thinkers, artists have shown the possibilities of the "re-enchantment of the world" utilizing the creativity and love as "future constructors". Not only them, but also people with refined sensibility are dedicating themselves to modify the future, using esthetics actions
Este trabalho reflete a preocupação atual sobre o homem, suas invenções e seu ambiente. A destruição da natureza e o futuro do planeta estão em jogo. No entanto, as novas descobertas tecnológicas têm a possibilidade de aproximar homem e natureza uma vez que utilizadas de forma racional e, ao mesmo tempo sensível. As ações do homem moderno são conseqüências da ciência tradicional que coloca a razão como o caminho único da verdade. Hoje, percebemos que as verdades absolutas não existem. Em conseqüência disso, pela ausência dessas verdades, o ser humano se sente desamparado. À medida que procuramos entender questões como a diversidade, as mutações e as novas tecnologias, o mundo se torna mais complexo para nós. Para resolver isso, o ser humano precisa olhar a seu redor e procurar por novas soluções. O embate entre o homem e o objeto de forma consistente é fundamental para a criação de um futuro diversificado. A busca por um mundo diferente é defendido por Ilya Prigogine, Charles Sanders Peirce e Edgar Morin. Prigogine afirma que o futuro não é algo estabelecido a priori e, sim, em constante construção. Enfatiza que outro futuro é possível, basta agir para modificá-lo. Em sua Carta às Futuras gerações, ele convoca os jovens a agir por um amanhã diferente. Por estar presente em todas as manifestações do ser humano, a arte é fundamental para o resgate da sensibilidade que se perdeu na tirania da razão. Ao longo da existência da humanidade, homem e arte sempre foram parceiros e isso não pode ser esquecido. Apresentamos três artistas que ampliaram o fazer artístico. Lygia Clark propõe ao homem contemporâneo a redescoberta do corpo por meio de sua memória sensorial, Frans Krajcberg faz de seu percurso de vida um alerta contra a destruição da natureza. Joseph Beuys investe na ação dos indivíduos, pois considera todos os indivíduos artistas. Pensadores, artistas mostram as possibilidades do Reencantamento do Mundo por meio da criatividade e do amor como construtores do futuro. Além, deles, pessoas de sensibilidade apurada se dedicam a modificar o amanhã, por meio de ações estéticas

Full textAbstract:
In the current socio-cultural scenario, the implementation of the university reform aimed at boosting third-level education calls for meditation within the discipline of Architectural Technology (ICAR 12). This review must address the research topics and academic profiles of PhD courses in the Technological Area, also in terms of fostering actions consistent with European strategic lines for the promotion of a knowledge society. Research, innovation, creativity and design are the keywords of this scenario that PhD students and lecturers must bear in mind when considering three fields of study: environmental design and landscape, building production and construction and works and services strategic for the community. This book "Research among innovation, creativity and design" develops the topics addressed during the VII OSDOTTA workshop (the network of PhD courses in the field of Architectural Technology) held at the Mantua campus of Milan Polytechnic on 15th-16th-17th September 2011.

Full textAbstract:
Over recent years, there has been a sharp increase in the various possible forms of poverty and housing vulnerability: from the total lack of shelter of the homeless to the risk of losing their home that now threatens numerous families in medium-low income brackets. At the same time, the traditional linear and standardised housing policies appear no longer adequate to address these phenomena. This book contains the results of a study entrusted by the Tuscan Regional Authority to a working group from the University of Florence and the Fondazione Giovanni Michelucci. The research explores the field of practices for self-production of housing in Italy and the world, through a critical selection of significant experiences, revealing the architectural and social creativity exploited in a large variety of collective actions. The book also contains a reconstruction of housing problems in Tuscany and an overview of alternative approaches to housing policy. The last section is devoted to the research-action on the occupation of the Luzzi, the abandoned sanatorium on the border between Florence and Sesto Fiorentino, a case that illustrates the most significant contradictions and dilemmas gravitating around the housing issue for the new poor: the problem of homeless immigrants; the difficulty of the authorities in managing problems of extreme housing poverty; the role of the associations and organisations of social mediation, and the inherent complexity of achieving a participatory approach to social and town planning research.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we present a student-centered, two-course series in mechanical design at junior level that emphasizes student self-learning of technical knowledge, communication, and problem solving in a setting full of creativity and innovation. The mechanical engineering student performance is tracked in upper level classical mechanical design courses MECH420 and MECH520 Mechanical Design I & II to correlate impact of team roles and performance on learning design skills. The first course in the series (ASST 200) is offered in Term I (the fall term of the first year) and emphasizes basic product development concepts. Set in a team environment, diverse topics such as reverse engineering and artifact dissection, sound engineering practices, ethics in engineering, and human relations are introduced. The second introductory course MECH 321 in the design series is project-centered and is offered in the fall term of the 2nd year. This course emphasizes design creativity in the context of product development. The students, in organized teams of four, tackle an open-ended engineering problem by having to design a custom micro car. The course climaxes in a 5-event contest during which these micro-cars are put to action in what is known around the campus as the Gee Whiz contest. A strong correlation was found between performance in these introductory courses and more advanced design courses. It is also found that the student role as project analyst or manager through inter-dynamics of his/her team significantly affects improved learning skills at higher level courses.

Full textAbstract:
Design engineering is different from other more artistic forms of designing because on one hand it is more constrained by the engineering sciences, economics and other factors, but on the other hand it has more possibilities for abstract modeling in the conceptual phases. Creativity is essential, but in many cases not sufficient to explore the many possible candidate solutions. A more systematic and methodical approach can help to overcome many of the problems that arise during conceptualizing in design engineering. Use of appropriate methods to enhance the search for solutions can expand the solution field. A systematic approach based on engineering design science has been shown to enhance understanding, good record-keeping, and traceability for the design process. Several grounded theories are reviewed and brought into mutual context, they refer to memory and thinking operations, expertise, human action modes, and competencies. The discussion reveals a need for specific instructions for a methodical and systematic engineering design procedure, when the design problem is seen as non-routine, and expertise is lacking.

Full textAbstract:
This contribution intends to present the design, methodology and first results of MEMEX, a 3-year project (2019-2022) funded by the European programme Horizon2020, aimed at promoting social cohesion through collaborative, heritage-related tools that provide inclusive access to tangible and intangible cultural heritage (CH) and, at the same time, facilitates encounters, discussions and interactions between communities at risk of social exclusion. Cultural participation is conceived as a way to engage communities in lifelong learning processes taking place in informal contexts, aiming at promoting social inclusion and cohesion. To achieve these goals, MEMEX uses innovative ICT tools that provide a new paradigm for interaction with heritage through Digital Storytelling (DS), weaving heritage-related memories and experiences of the participating communities with the physical places/objects that surround them. The project encompasses the ICT tools and the use of DS in the framework of Audience Development (AD), defined as a strategic and dynamic process enabling cultural organisations to place audiences at the centre of their action. The use of DS applied to CH is highly related to lifelong learning processes, since it provides knowledge, understanding, awareness, engagement and interest, enjoyment and creativity. The evaluation of a number of DS produced by migrant women participating in a MEMEX pilot project in Barcelona confirms the validity and soundness of the methodology and the power of DS to engage in cultural experiences.

Full textAbstract:
Since April 2016, The European Union and the Oxfam Pro-Resilience Action Project in Kebbi and Adamawa States, Nigeria, have supported poor smallholder rural farmers to improve their agricultural productivity. The project has a specific focus on increasing crop yields per hectare for better land usage, as well as ensuring farmers possess the skills they need to maintain good agricultural practices, such as inputs utilization and climate mitigation strategies, as well as an information-sharing system on weather and market prices. The project uses a Farmer Field School model that continues to serve as a viable platform for rural farmers to access hands-on skills and basic modern farming knowledge and techniques. The case studies presented here demonstrate a significant increase in farmers’ productivity, income and resilience. This approach should be emulated by governments and private sector players to achieve impact at scale in Nigeria’s agricultural sector, which is the country’s top non-oil revenue stream.

The troops of the national guard of the Russian Federation are equipped with modern models of weapons, special equipment, Informatization tools, engineering weapons that have artificial intelligence in their composition are being developed, " etc., which causes an increase in the requirements for the quality of professional training of future officers. The increasing complexity of military professional activities, the avalanche-like increase in information, the need to develop the ability to quickly and accurately make and implement well-known and own engineering solutions in an unpredictable military environment demonstrates that the most important tasks of modern higher education are not only providing graduates with a system of fundamental and special knowledge and skills, but also developing their professional independence, and this led to the concept of engineering and creative potential in the list of professionally important qualities of an officer. To expedite a special mechanism system compact intense clarity through cognitive visualization of the educational material, thickening of educational knowledge through encoding, consolidation and structuring Principle of cognitive visualization stems from the psychological laws in accordance with which the efficiency of absorption is increased if visibility in training does not only illustrative, but also cognitive function, which leads to active inclusion, along with the left and right hemispheres of the student in the process of assimilation of information, based on the use of logical and semantic modeling, which contributes to the development of engineering and creative potential.

Full textAbstract:
Disruptive innovators take advantage of unique opportunities. Prior to COVID-19 progress in Latin America and the Caribbean for integrating technology, learning, and system change has been exceedingly slow. In this paper we first offer a general framework for transforming education. The framework focuses on the provision of technology, innovative ideas in learning and well-being, and what we call systemness which are favorable change factors at the local, middle/regional, and policy levels. We then take up the matter of system reform in Latin America and the Caribbean noting problems and potential. Then, we turn to a specific model in system change that we have developed called New Pedagogies for Deep Learning, a model developed in partnerships with groups of schools in ten countries since 2014. The model consists of three main components: 6 Global Competences (character, citizenship, collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking), 4 learning elements (pedagogy, learning partnerships, learning environments, leveraging digital), and three system conditions (school culture, district/regional culture, and system policy). We offer a case study of relative success based on Uruguay with whom we have been working since 2014. Finally, we identify steps and recommendations for next steps in Latin America for taking action on system reform in the next perioda time that we consider critical for taking advantage of the current pandemic disruption. The next few years will be crucial for either attaining positive breakthroughs or slipping backwards into a reinforced status quo.

Full textAbstract:
Could the future of our planet be decided on Zoom? The feasibility of “online climate negotiations” was the issue the OnCliNe project initially set out to assess. However, experiences over the last 18 months illustrated that many of the diverse activities organised under the umbrella of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) could be held online, albeit with challenges. The real question was whether they could be held in ways that increase the effectiveness, inclusiveness and transparency of the UNFCCC process. This report reflects the sentiment of many stakeholders that there is an opportunity to harness the interruption and introspection that the pandemic imposed into a “positive disruption” of the process. If actions taken now can transcend the tendency to return to “business as usual” as soon as circumstances allow, and instead work towards a meaningful transformation of the climate talks, the UNFCCC process can be made more fit for purpose for tackling one of humanity’s greatest challenges. This will require creativity, courage, and active and decisive leadership.

Full textAbstract:
20 years ago a concept of “Green Chemistry” was formulated by Paul Anastas and John Warner, aiming at an ambitious agenda to “green” chemical products and processes. Today the concept, laid down in a set of 12 principles, has found support in various arenas. This diffusion was supported by enhancements of the legislative framework; not only in the European Union. Nevertheless industry actors – whilst generally supporting the idea – still see “cost and perception remain barriers to green chemistry uptake”. Thus, the questions arise how additional incentives as well as measures to address the barriers and impediments can be provided. An analysis addressing these questions has to take into account the institutional context for the relevant actors involved in the issue. And it has to reflect the problem perception of the different stakeholders. The supply chain into which the chemicals are distributed are of pivotal importance since they create the demand pull for chemicals designed in accordance with the “Green Chemistry Principles”. Consequently, the scope of this study includes all stages in a chemical’s life-cycle, including the process of designing and producing the final products to which chemical substances contribute. For each stage the most relevant legislative acts, together establishing the regulatory framework of the “chemicals policy” in the EU are analysed. In a nutshell the main elements of the study can be summarized as follows: Green Chemistry (GC) is the utilisation of a set of principles that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Besides, reaction efficiency, including energy efficiency, and the use of renewable resources are other motives of Green Chemistry. Putting the GC concept in a broader market context, however, it can only prevail if in the perception of the relevant actors it is linked to tangible business cases. Therefore, the study analyses the product context in which chemistry is to be applied, as well as the substance’s entire life-cycle – in other words, the six stages in product innovation processes): 1. Substance design, 2. Production process, 3. Interaction in the supply chain, 4. Product design, 5. Use phase and 6. After use phase of the product (towards a “circular economy”). The report presents an overview to what extent the existing framework, i.e. legislation and the wider institutional context along the six stages, is setting incentives for actors to adequately address problematic substances and their potential impacts, including the learning processes intended to invoke creativity of various actors to solve challenges posed by these substances. In this respect, measured against the GC and Learning Process assessment criteria, the study identified shortcomings (“delta”) at each stage of product innovation. Some criteria are covered by the regulatory framework and to a relevant extent implemented by the actors. With respect to those criteria, there is thus no priority need for further action. Other criteria are only to a certain degree covered by the regulatory framework, due to various and often interlinked reasons. For those criteria, entry points for options to strengthen or further nuance coverage of the respective principle already exist. Most relevant are the deltas with regard to those instruments that influence the design phase; both for the chemical substance as such and for the end-product containing the substance. Due to the multi-tier supply chains, provisions fostering information, communication and cooperation of the various actors are crucial to underpin the learning processes towards the GCP. The policy options aim to tackle these shortcomings in the context of the respective stage in order to support those actors who are willing to change their attitude and their business decisions towards GC. The findings are in general coherence with the strategies to foster GC identified by the Green Chemistry & Commerce Council.

Full textAbstract:
The article investigates functional techniques of extralinguistic expression in multimedia texts; the effectiveness of figurative expressions as a reaction to modern events in Ukraine and their influence on the formation of public opinion is shown. Publications of journalists, broadcasts of media resonators, experts, public figures, politicians, readers are analyzed. The language of the media plays a key role in shaping the worldview of the young political elite in the first place. The essence of each statement is a focused thought that reacts to events in the world or in one’s own country. The most popular platform for mass information and social interaction is, first of all, network journalism, which is characterized by mobility and unlimited time and space. Authors have complete freedom to express their views in direct language, including their own word formation. Phonetic, lexical, phraseological and stylistic means of speech create expression of the text. A figurative word, a good aphorism or proverb, a paraphrased expression, etc. enhance the effectiveness of a multimedia text. This is especially important for headlines that simultaneously inform and influence the views of millions of readers. Given the wide range of issues raised by the Internet as a medium, research in this area is interdisciplinary. The science of information, combining language and social communication, is at the forefront of global interactions. The Internet is an effective source of knowledge and a forum for free thought. Nonlinear texts (hypertexts) – «branching texts or texts that perform actions on request», multimedia texts change the principles of information collection, storage and dissemination, involving billions of readers in the discussion of global issues. Mastering the word is not an easy task if the author of the publication is not well-read, is not deep in the topic, does not know the psychology of the audience for which he writes. Therefore, the study of media broadcasting is an important component of the professional training of future journalists. The functions of the language of the media require the authors to make the right statements and convincing arguments in the text. Journalism education is not only knowledge of imperative and dispositive norms, but also apodictic ones. In practice, this means that there are rules in media creativity that are based on logical necessity. Apodicticity is the first sign of impressive language on the platform of print or electronic media. Social expression is a combination of creative abilities and linguistic competencies that a journalist realizes in his activity. Creative self-expression is realized in a set of many important factors in the media: the choice of topic, convincing arguments, logical presentation of ideas and deep philological education. Linguistic art, in contrast to painting, music, sculpture, accumulates all visual, auditory, tactile and empathic sensations in a universal sign – the word. The choice of the word for the reproduction of sensory and semantic meanings, its competent use in the appropriate context distinguishes the journalist-intellectual from other participants in forums, round tables, analytical or entertainment programs. Expressive speech in the media is a product of the intellect (ability to think) of all those who write on socio-political or economic topics. In the same plane with him – intelligence (awareness, prudence), the first sign of which (according to Ivan Ogienko) is a good knowledge of the language. Intellectual language is an important means of organizing a journalistic text. It, on the one hand, logically conveys the author’s thoughts, and on the other – encourages the reader to reflect and comprehend what is read. The richness of language is accumulated through continuous self-education and interesting communication. Studies of social expression as an important factor influencing the formation of public consciousness should open up new facets of rational and emotional media broadcasting; to trace physical and psychological reactions to communicative mimicry in the media. Speech mimicry as one of the methods of disguise is increasingly becoming a dangerous factor in manipulating the media. Mimicry is an unprincipled adaptation to the surrounding social conditions; one of the most famous examples of an animal characterized by mimicry (change of protective color and shape) is a chameleon. In a figurative sense, chameleons are called adaptive journalists. Observations show that mimicry in politics is to some extent a kind of game that, like every game, is always conditional and artificial.
