Stage Performance

The two performative genres of the dybbuk constitute a reciprocal system—as a Jewish possession illness and as a canonical play. Tracking the two highlights the dialectical relationship between the dybbuk-as-illness and the Dybbuk-as-play. Dybbuk possession cases reemerged in Israel at the end of the 20th century; one new and highly publicized case in particular kindled opposing moral crusades.

Artistic Work

This article reflects on the nature of the creative act in relation to the everyday world. In opposition to the formalist conception of the artistic work as anautonomous object, during the 20th century various authors tried to spotlight the dialectical relationship established between art and life. Particularly important was John Cage, who started, from Dadaism, a profound transformation in the field of experimental music. His thinking had a greatinfluence on several generations of musicians and sound artists. A case particularly revealing is Llorenç Barber, interdisciplinary artist and composer. Its proposals, which developed outside of the traditional concert rite, intend todilute the artistic work in its context. These are essentially shared listening situations in everyday environments. From among its creations, the ‘plurifocal’ concerts for city stand out: gigantic compositions designed for each urban layout, which acquire a dimension of art public. The objective ofthe musician is to intervene artistically the common space to be returned to the community in the form of collective celebration. Ultimately, through the study of the work and thinking of Barber, this text aims to explore the boundaries between music and life.

Abstract. Dyslexia is a phenomenon for which the brain correlates have been studied since the beginning of the 20th century. Simultaneously, the field of education has also been studying dyslexia and its remediation, mainly through behavioral data. The last two decades have seen a growing interest in integrating neuroscience and education. This article provides a quick overview of pertinent scientific literature involving neurophysiological data on functional brain differences in dyslexia and discusses their very limited influence on the development of reading remediation for dyslexic individuals. Nevertheless, it appears that if certain conditions are met – related to the key elements of educational neuroscience and to the nature of the research questions – conceivable benefits can be expected from the integration of neurophysiological data with educational research. When neurophysiological data can be employed to overcome the limits of using behavioral data alone, researchers can both unravel phenomenon otherwise impossible to document and raise new questions.
