Massouras, Alexander. "Patronage, professionalism and youth : the emerging artist and London's Art institutions 1949-1988." Thesis, Birkbeck (University of London), 2013. http://bbktheses.da.ulcc.ac.uk/44/.

Abstract:
In 1949, the first Young Contemporaries exhibition presented work by art school students in London. In 1988, Freeze displayed the work of artists who became known as the young British artists (‘YBAs’). This dissertation offers a historical framework and a critical account of the concept of the ‘emerging artist’—developed during the intervening forty years—a term typically associated with Freeze and the YBAs. The dissertation offers a corrective to the widely held belief that an interest in young and emerging artists was a new development in the 1980s, by reconnecting the notion with much earlier roots in the 1950s. It also revises the term’s commercial connotation. ‘Emerging artist’ posits something yet to come, and is loaded with suggestions of investment and future value. These traits can be read as imprints of the marketplace. This research demonstrates that a focus on young artists’ work in fact evolved as a result of changes to education and public patronage that occurred during the expansion of the welfare state. The art market contributed to the phenomenon, but did not shape it alone. Alongside the historical account of these institutional changes this dissertation considers the relationship between characteristics associated with the emerging artist and those associated with creativity more generally. Judgments of quality and value are in part made institutionally: an artist’s worth is attested by passage through prestigious educational institutions, exhibition in respected galleries, and collection by public institutions and important individuals. But there remains a conflicting appetite for these artists to be ‘outsiders’, expressed in the discourse which frames and receives them. It is in the ‘emerging artist’ that these competing demands can be reconciled. This analysis concludes by framing the ‘emerging artist’ as a paradigmatic artist, with dual appeal both as institutional ‘insider’ and romantic ‘outsider’.

Abstract:
La recherche porte sur le sentiment identitaire professionnel des débutants infirmiers. Elle interroge le vécu subjectif des débuts professionnels et éclaire les rapports entre les dynamiques identitaires (Kaddouri, 2006) en jeu dans cette transition (Guichard, 2007) et l’émergence de la professionnalité. La méthodologie qualitative dans le cadre d’une approche psychophénoménologique (Vermersch, 2012), permet de questionner la logique personnelle du sujet dans ces moments (Mouchet, 2014), en mobilisant principalement les concepts de sentiment identitaire (Erikson, 1968 ; Allport, 1970 ; Tap, 1988) et de professionnalité émergente (Jorro, 2011). L’étude longitudinale s’appuie sur des entretiens compréhensifs (Kaufmann, 2014), d’explicitation (Vermersch, 1994) avec décryptage de sens (Faingold, 1998, 2011) et d’explicitation biographique (Lesourd, 2009). Les résultats mettent en évidence l’émergence d’un sentiment identitaire professionnel nécessaire à la construction de la professionnalité émergente spécifique des débutants infirmiers, et pourraient être pris en compte pour repenser leur accompagnement
The doctoral research focuses on nursing beginners’professional identity feeling. It questions subjective experience about starting and enlightens the relations between identity dynamics (Kaddouri, 2006) during this transition (Guichard, 2007) and the emergence of the beginner’s professionalism. The qualitative methodology, in a psychophenomenology approach (Vermersch, 2012), questions personal subject logic in these moments (Mouchet, 2014) ; it mainly relies on concepts of identity feeling (Erikson, 1968; Allport, 1970; Tap, 1988) and emerging professionalism (Jorro, 2011).The longitudinal study is based on comprehensive interviews (Kaufmann, 2014), elicitation interviews (Vermersch, 1994) completed with the decryption of meanings (Faingold, 2011) and biographical interviews combined with elicitation (Lesourd, 2009).The results reveal a professional identity feeling which emerges among the beginners, and which is useful to develop their specific emerging beginning professionalism, and help to reconsider the professional accompaniment

Abstract:
Currently, mobility is a significantly pervasive term; the concept is being widely used in multiple discussions including social, economic, political, and technological debates. However, the theoretical grounding of the concept is surprising unstable. This thesis aims to offer a theoretical foundation for the concept of mobility, particularly in contemporary work contexts. With support of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in general and mobile technology in particular, contemporary work activities are increasingly distributed and dynamically conducted in various locations. In such an emerging work environment, maintaining a highly level of 'mobility' is becoming critical for contemporary workers, particularly for mobile professionals. Based on the theoretical considerations on the concept of mobility, this thesis empirically explores the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of mobile professionals' work practices. In order to appreciate and explain the nature of mobility in contemporary work, this thesis specifically addresses the emerging work practices of mobile professionals. the data collection consisting of in-depth interviews and ad-hoc observations of sixty0two professional workers was conducted in Tokyo, Japan during the summer of 2002. Informed by the results of this qualitative field study, the thesis discusses a distinct mode of mobility in mobile professional work. The mode of mobility is characterised not only by extensive geographical movement but also by operational flexibility and intense interaction in mobile professional's dynamic work activities. Based on these theoretical and empirical discussions, this thesis aims: 1) to theoretically underpin our understanding of mobility in contemporary work contexts; 2) to offer empirically grounded implications for the post-bureaucratic, fluid organising of work, organisation, and technology.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis aims to go beyond the concept of so called ‘virtual museums’. In this work I will attempt to trace a new definition of the term ‘virtual museum’ providing the concept with renewed dignity, comparable to ICOM’S definitions of museums and other existing definitions of the concept. To do so the main part of this thesis is about creating a meta-model of taxonomy capable of including all the experimentations that have taken place in the field of ‘virtual museums’ in the last 20 years. In this direction I have investigated the concept of the museum as a medium as described by McLuhan and other thinkers, both within and outside the field of museology. The discovery of an unabridged work by McLuhan on technology in museums endorses, and opens a discussion on how technology is intended to be used for the communication of heritage. Another aim of this thesis is to investigate how museum professionals can deal with the new role of Information Technology in communicating heritage. In this thesis I intend to respond to the need of museum professionals both inside and outside ICOM for definitions and clearer understanding concerning the following questions ‘What is a virtual museum? Can it be comparable with a ‘real’ museum? What different kinds of virtual museums can be discerned in past experimentations? Can they be included in a taxonomy? How does this change the day to day work of museum professionals in accordance with the new technological potential for the communication of heritage?

This Joint Applied Project analyzed the extent to which Army leadership has acknowledged and is acting upon key improvement recommendations made by the Gansler Report (2007). This project explores roles, procedures, principles and emerging issues facing contingency contracting professionals in respect to their responsibilities in expeditionary operations. Basic principles of contingency contracting and current literature relative to Army expeditionary operations were analyzed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with both military and civilian acquisition professionals. Additionally, researcher developed surveys were distributed amongst deployed contingency contracting officers/specialists in order to approach this topic with a 'boots on the ground' perspective. From the research conducted, recommendations are provided that the Army can implement to improve modern wartime contingency contracting and better prepare and train the contracting workforce to support future contingency operations.

Abstract:
Sense of community, social capital, and emerging adulthood are all topics of increasing interest in multiple fields over the past three decades. Both sense of community and social capital are predictors of overall well-being for individuals and communities. As emerging adults begin to establish a sense of person and place, many have begun to look to young professionals groups as an outlet for networking and identity exploration. There is limited research on the impact of these organizations related to sense of community and social capital. This case study is meant to be a starting point to expand the research on this topic. A survey of 97 members of the Young Professionals Networking Group in San Luis Obispo assessed level of participation within the group as well as sense of community utilizing the Sense of Community Index (SCI-2). A one-way ANOVA compared mean differences between established participation levels (low, medium, high). It was determined the more active a member is within the YPNG, the higher sense of community they displayed. Six active members were then recruited to participate in a focus group to discover if active participation in YPNG impacts one’s sense of perceived social capital. Open and axial coding of the focus group data indicated that membership within YPNG increases relational qualities that are consistent with the literature on social capital. The results from this case study indicate that active membership in networking groups may lead to a higher sense of community and enhanced perceptions of social capital. More research is necessary to determine how one’s sense of community and social capital are impacted before and after joining such groups.

Krapljan-Barr, Pavica. "An inquiry into the tension between displacement and belonging as experienced by globally mobile professionals : an emerging practice of shallow-rooted belonging." Thesis, Middlesex University, 2015. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/18465/.

Full text
Abstract:
Global organisations increasingly require their leaders and employees to be mobile in order to meet the needs of the dynamics of the global market. As a result, the number of professionals who are uprooted from their place of origin and who experience multiple relocations as part of their globally mobile career is on the rise. This action inquiry examined whether a sense of belonging mattered to globally mobile professionals and, if so, how they could create a sufficient sense of belonging in this postmodern world of global mobility which would enable them to flourish and live a healthy, fulfilled life. The inquiry was located within the specific context of a global organisation headquartered in Europe and involved a deep, first person inquiry, together with individual conversations with six global leaders and a co-inquiry with a group of five OD practitioners. All participants in this study had substantial experience of global mobility as part of their career progression which they developed after growing up and completing their studies in their country of origin. The inquiry generated three main insights: 1) globally mobile professionals who participated in this inquiry lived permanently in liminality; 2) home seemed to hold a transient quality for these professionals; 3) the acceptance that deep-rooted belonging was not theirs to have. This acceptance led global leaders to shape an alternative form of belonging which the author has named shallow-rooted belonging. Shallow-rooted belonging is an organic metaphor to describe a form of belonging that nurtures a functional existence in the liminal social and psychological space. This thesis also describes how the change in the ontological view of the world, held by the author, provided a fruitful condition for this deeply personal inquiry to emerge. In addition, working with expressive methods created conditions for the author to engage with the emotional territory within which the phenomenon of belonging is located. The author shares personal practices that she developed to create a sense of shallow-rooted belonging and outlines the implications of this inquiry for global organisations, Organisational Development practice and individual global leaders.

Abstract:
This research explored emergent trends in technical/engineering graphics education as prior research suggested that changes had occurred in the instructional topics and practices of the field. Prior research also showed that instructors wondered if the same topics were taught by graphics professionals as a part of their curriculum at other institutions. The areas researched in this study were: course offerings, student populations, professional development, technical/engineering graphics education, and future research. The study sample of fifty-six (N=56) graphics education instructors was selected from Engineering Design Graphics Division (EDGD) members that were listed in the 2007-2008 membership directory, provided a valid email address to American Society for Engineering Educators (ASEE), had achieved at least a Bachelorâs degree, and taught at least one graphics course a year. The EDGD members were contacted via email and responses were collected by an online survey instrument. Overall, the results were checked for invalid responses, compiled, and then compared to the results of previous research from 1998 and 2004. The results of this study showed a decline in the instruction of: GD&T, manual instruments, 2-D CAD, 3-D modeling, and CAM. The results indicated no change in 3-D constraint-based modeling instruction, but an increase in the instruction of animation. A decline in female students enrolled in technical/engineering graphics courses was also reported; however, an increase was reported in ethic minority students enrolled in the same courses. The results indicated a decline in the number of educational institutions that offered technical/engineering graphics as a major degree, but an increase in institutions that offered a minor in the same field. Furthermore, the results indicated that as time progressed and technology advanced, the topics taught within technical/engineering graphics courses shifted from traditional topics and to new emergent topics. Common concerns of respondents were difficulties remaining up-to-date with changes within the field and the preparedness of incoming students to the field. Possible future trends identified in this study were all software related and included: an increased emphasis on 3-D CAD, the increased instruction of animation, and a migration to online and distance education from traditional classroom instruction. The field of technical/engineering graphics education appeared to be strong and had adapted to industrial advancements and curriculum changes.

Abstract:
estágio, na literatura da área da educação musical, é entendido como atividade privilegiada para mobilizar e articular saberes, desenvolver os saberes da experiência, integrar teoria e prática, se aproximar das realidades escolares ou dos diferentes espaços educativos para melhor compreendê-los e neles agir. O estágio possibilita que professores em formação incorporem competências e gestos profissionais em direção ao desenvolvimento de uma profissionalidade. Com base nessa perspectiva, esta dissertação teve como objetivo geral investigar indícios da emergência da profissionalidade de estagiários de um curso de licenciatura em música. Como objetivos específicos, buscou identificar, nas concepções e ações desses estagiários, indícios de reconhecimento da função de ensinar; indícios de reconhecimento de um saber específico da profissão; indícios de tomadas de decisão e de autonomia no exercício da função de ensinar; e indícios de um sentido de pertencimento a um corpo coletivo que exerce a profissão. O referencial teórico do estudo é constituído pelo conceito de profissionalidade emergente, de Anne Jorro, e pelos descritores de profissionalidade apresentados por Maria do Céu Roldão. A pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, se caracterizou como um estudo de caso, cujos dados foram coletados por meio de observações, entrevistas semiestruturadas e análise de documentos. Os resultados deste trabalho indicam que o estágio pode envolver, para além dos saberes docentes, outros aspectos que caracterizam a profissão professor de música. Ao buscar aprofundar a compreensão do processo de emergência da profissionalidade que acontece no estágio, esta pesquisa caracteriza, ao menos parcialmente, a aproximação do licenciando em música com a profissão para a qual está se formando. A pesquisa indica, ainda, algumas condições que podem ser propiciadas aos licenciandos em período de estágio que podem contribuir para fazer emergir a profissionalidade.
According to music education literature, teaching practice, as a component of teacher training, is a privileged activity to mobilize and articulate different types of knowledge, to develop experiential knowledge, to integrate theory and practice and to approach educational realities in order to better understand them and acting on them. Teaching practice allows student teachers to incorporate professional skills and gestures towards the development of a professionality. Based on this perspective, this dissertation aimed at to investigate signs of the emergence of the professionality of student teachers enrolled in a bachelor degree program in music education. More specifically, it aimed at to identify, in the conceptions and actions of these student teachers, signs of recognition of the teaching function; signs of recognition of a specific knowledge of the profession; signs of decision-making and autonomy in the performance of the teaching function; and signs of a sense of belonging to a collective body that practices a profession. The concept of emergent professionality, by Anne Jorro, and the descriptors of teaching professionality, presented by Maria do Céu Roldão, constituted the study´s theoretical framework. A qualitative case study was carried out, with data being collected through observations, semi-structured interviews and analysis of documents. The results indicate that the teaching practice may involve, besides types of knowledge, other aspects that characterize the music teacher profession. Through seeking to deepen the understanding of the emergency process of the professionality that happens during the teaching practice, this research characterizes, at least partially, how the music student teacher comes close to the profession for which he/she is being trained. The results also indicate some conditions that can be offered to student teachers that can contribute to the emergence of the professionality.

Cette étude porte sur les apprentissages professionnels en Master 2 professionnel, au sein du département de sciences de l'éducation à l'université de Toulouse II le Mirail. L'objectif est d'éclairer la construction d'une professionnalité émergente chez les étudiants pendant l'année de la formation et de caractériser le processus d'accompagnement du directeur de mémoire et du référent professionnel. Dans le contexte de formation professionnalisante, nous avons opté pour une méthodologie longitudinale, par le biais d'entretiens semi-directifs, permettant de suivre nos stagiaires sur l'année de formation. Ces entretiens mettent en lumière la construction d'une professionnalité émergente en interrogeant les éléments qui participent à cette construction. L'ensemble de nos résultats confirme que dans ce Master les étudiants-stagiaires ont vécu une expérience professionnelle très enrichissante pour leur développement professionnel, surtout lors de stage professionnel. Cette expérience permet d'entrer directement dans les pratiques du métier attendu dans le futur et d'ouvrir la porte sur le monde professionnel. La professionnalité émergente chez la plupart des étudiants- stagiaires de master 2 professionnel est observable à la fin de cette formation. Les dimensions identitaires, opératoires avec les compétences professionnelles et la dimension éthique sont présentes dans le processus de construction de cette professionnalité. En revanche, pour la plupart des étudiants-stagiaires leur professionnalité reste toujours à développer et à approfondir pendant toute la vie professionnelle.

Full text
Abstract:
The World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) requires occupational therapy (OT) students to successfully complete 1,000 hours of clinical practice experience (ENOTHE, 2000). To fulfill this requirement is a challenge for OT education programs, which are in their pioneering stage of development. A limited number of qualified occupational therapists poses a problem for the supervision of OT students during their practice placement service. This doctoral project proposes a training program for on-site health and education professionals who will mentor OT students. The training program can be applied to any role-emerging fieldwork sites for occupational therapy and other health professions. The contents of the training program are based on the needs of the environment. Evidence indicates that there is a lack of understanding of OT by the general and professional public in Kosovo (Bllaca, 2015; Krasniqi, 2016; Jakupi, 2017). Based on the review of evidence-based research, it is difficult to place students in role-emerging placements because of a lack of qualified direct on-site supervisors (Vermeulen, de Jongh and Hess, 2012); and that there is a need to develop on-site placement mentor training programs (Cooper & Raine, 2009). With adequate training, on-site placement supervisors can assess the professional development of OT students (Levy et al., 2009; Allison & Turpin, 2004). Based on the needs in Kosovo, the mentor training program will include education about occupational therapy, placement mentoring, OT practice competencies, communication strategies and documentation methods. The goals of the mentor training program are: 1. to qualify on-site practice mentors to assess the professional skills and behaviors of the OT student, 2. to provide students with effective direct guidance from a mentor during their fieldwork experience, 3. to raise awareness of the OT profession within the health and education professions, and 4. to increase the quality of health care services for individuals in the community through the provision of OT services by the students.

Purpose: Digital Financial Services (DFS) have substantial prospect to offer a number of reasonable, appropriate and secure banking services to the underprivileged in developing countries through pioneering technologies such as mobile phone based solutions, digital platforms and electronic money models. DFS allow unbanked people to obtain access to financial services through digital technologies. However, DFS face tough challenges of adoption. Realising this, the aim of this paper is to identify such challenges and develop a framework. Design/Methodology/Approach: We develop a framework of challenges by utilising Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) and Fuzzy MICMAC approach. We explored eighteen such unique set of challenges culled from the literature and further gathered data from two sets of expert professionals. In the first phase, we gathered data from twenty-nine professionals followed by eighteen professionals in the second phase. All were pursuing Executive MBA programme from a metropolitan city in South India. The implementation of ISM and fuzzy MICMAC provided a precise set of driving, linkage and dependent variables that were used to derive a framework. Findings: ISM model is split in eight different levels. The bottom level consists of a key driving challenge V11 (i.e. high cost and low return related problem) whereas the topmost level consists of two highly dependent challenges namely V1 (i.e. risk of using digital services) and V14 (i.e. lack of trust). The prescribed ISM model shows the involvement of ‘high cost and low return related problem (V11)’, which triggers further challenges of DFS. Originality/value: None of the existing research has explored key challenges to DFS in detail nor formulated a framework for such challenges. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first paper on DFS that attempts to collate its challenges and incorporate them in a hierarchical model using ISM and further divide them into four categories of factors using fuzzy MICMAC analysis.

Abstract:
The film industry has predominantly highlighted the success of Hollywood, with little focus on the emerging markets of Central and Eastern Europe. As an increasing number of film production companies move from mature markets into emerging ones, various success factors are revealed as being crucial to the decision-making process of where to go. Through expert interviews and existing data, the benefits and disadvantages for institutional promoters and film professionals in the four countries analyzed led to the discovery that Poland ranked highest within attractiveness scoring for foreign film production potential. Furthermore, numerous ways in which a film production can increase economic return in the hosting country became apparent throughout the research by increasing auxiliary service demand, boosting awareness to cultural values, as well as tourism initiatives. In order to boost the potential of these returns, governments in the emerging markets invest substantially into grant programmes and facilities to attract foreign production firms. Coming full circle, film professionals can utilize boons granted by local incentives, as well as co-produce with domestic players, to enhance their network strength and lower costs across the board. This discovery was found through the analysis of six variables that were formed using the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-Bound) criterion. Ultimately, the recommendation is for foreign film production companies to look to Eastern European markets in order to cut production costs, as well as take advantage of a Blue Ocean opportunity.
À medida que um número crescente de empresas de produção cinematográfica se desloca dos mercados estabelecidos para mercados emergentes, vários fatores se revelam cruciais para o êxito no processo de tomada de decisões sobre qual país escolher. Através de entrevistas com especialistas e estudo dos dados existentes, os benefícios e desvantagens para os promotores institucionais e profissionais de cinema nos quatro países analisados levaram à descoberta de que a Polónia estava em primeiro lugar na classificação de atratividade no que respeita ao potencial de produção cinematográfica estrangeira. Do mesmo modo, ao longo da pesquisa, tornaram-se evidentes várias formas através das quais uma produção cinematográfica pode aumentar a sua rentabilidade no país anfitrião, aumentando a procura de serviços complementares, encorajando a sensibilização aos valores culturais, bem como as iniciativas de turismo. A fim de aumentar o potencial desses lucros, os governos nos mercados emergentes investem substancialmente em programas de subsídios e instalações para atrair empresas de produção estrangeiras. Aproveitando todos os recursos, os profissionais de cinema podem utilizar os benefícios concedidos pelos incentivos locais, bem como co-produzir com agentes nacionais, para expandir a sua zona de influência e diminuir os custos globais. Este resultado foi encontrado através da análise de seis variáveis obtidas pela utilização do critério SMART. Em conclusão, recomenda-se que as empresas estrangeiras de produção cinematográfica se redirecionem para os mercados do leste europeu para reduzir os custos de produção, tirando simultaneamente vantagem de uma área inexplorada de negócio.
