Questions in an interview with United Kingdom filmmaker Mark Cousins concern the formal properties and development of nonfiction films taking the shape of essays, rather than documentaries. The relationship between Orson Welles’s films and his lifelong habit of drawing is the subject of Cousin’s latest essay film, The Eyes of Orson Welles. As the interview progresses, the subject shifts to relationships among the arts and the creative process.

The Relationship

Medical Humanities (MH) provide a contrasting perspective of the arts to the ‘science’ of medicine. A definition of MH agreed upon by all workers is lacking. There are a number of advantages of teaching MH to medical students. MH programs are common in medical schools in developed nations. In developing nations these are not common and in the chapter the author describes programs in Brazil, Turkey, Argentina and Nepal. The relationship between medical ethics and MH is the subject of debate. Medical ethics teaching appears to be commoner compared to MH in medical schools. MH programs are not common in Asia and there are many challenges to MH teaching. Patient and illness narratives are become commoner in medical education. The author has conducted MH programs in two Nepalese medical schools and shares his experiences.

The Way

The relationship between translation and adaptation has remained problematic despite the appearance of two books on the subject. The difficulty lies in understanding how both terms are culturally constructed and change over space and time. Chapter 28 suggests that there is no absolute distinction between the two; to look at the relationship between translation and adaptation requires us to study cultural policies and the way creative workers respond to them, and to understand how readers over time have reinterpreted the two terms. The essay considers the lessons ecological models of learning in collaborative micro-cultures have to offer adaptation scholars and translation scholars alike.

Key Questions

The study of creativity is characterized by a variety of key questions, such as the nature of the creative process, whether there are multiple types of creativity, the relationship between high levels of creativity ("Big C") and everyday creativity ("little c"), and the neural basis of creativity. Herein we examine the question of the relationship between creativity in the arts and the sciences, and use functional magnetic resonance imaging to explore the neural basis of creativity in a group of "Big C" individuals from both domains using a word association protocol. The findings give no support for the notion that the artists and scientists represent "two cultures. " Rather, they suggest that very gifted artists and scientists have association cortices that respond in similar ways. Both groups display a preponderance of activation in brain circuits involved in higher-order socioaffective processing and Random Episodic Silent Thought /the default mode.

ResumoPartindo das questões tratadas no Projeto Rotas Esquecidas, o artigo trata a relação entre arte e natureza nesta nova era geológica, denominada Antropoceno. Determinado por destrutivas transformações ambientais, o Antropoceno figura no centro das discussões políticas e ecológicas que procuram entender como evitar ou como se adaptar aos seus impactos. Esta nova terminologia, assimilada em outras áreas do conhecimento, passou a fazer parte do discurso das humanidades e das artes, aparecendo em práticas culturais, na produção de artistas, em exposições e em publicações específicas sobre o assunto. Trata-se de avaliar aqui as implicações ideológicas deste termo e de como ele vem sendo tratado no meio artístico. AbstractStarting from the issues addressed in the Project “Rotas Esquecidas”, this paper deals with the relationship between art and nature in this new geological age, called Anthropocene. Determined by destructive environmental transformations, the Anthropocene is at the center of political and ecological discussions that seek to understand how to avoid or how to adapt to its impacts. This new terminology, assimilated in other areas of knowledge, became part of the discourse of the humanities and the arts, appearing in cultural practices, in the production of artists, in exhibitions and in specific publications on the subject. It is a question of evaluating here the ideological implications of this term and how it has been treated in the artistic world.

The article is devoted to the form of film ‘notes’, defined by the author as nonfictional films depicting preparations for the production of fictional works. The author describes this particular subgenre of film essay in the context of other forms of self-referential non-fictional cinema, and also comparatively confronts it with self-referential literary notes, in which writers present their creative process. The subject of the analysis are three works realized by Pier Paolo Pasolini: Sopralluoghi in Palestina per il vangelo secondo Matteo (1965), Appunti per un film sull’India (1968), Appunti per un’Orestiade Africana (1970). The author draws attention to the production of these films and describes the process of shaping the ‘notes’ formula in the films of the Italian director. The article then discusses the main features of the form of ‘notes’, such as: heterogeneity, variability, polyphony and the subjectivity. As the author argues, although analogous tendencies can be found in literary notes and film ‘notes’, media contexts significantly change their form and configuration. While in literary notes the tension between the signifier and the signified seems to be the most important, in film ‘notes’ the most important is the relationship between the interpretant and the objects, which cannot be ‘subordinated’ to the concept of the film director.

The ‘school of true, useful and universal science’? Freemasonry, natural philosophy and scientific culture in eighteenth-century England

Music And The Arts

Freemasonry was the most widespread form of secular association in eighteenth-century England, providing a model for other forms of urban sociability and a stimulus to music and the arts. Many members of the Royal Society and the Society of Antiquaries, for instance, were Freemasons, while historians such as Margaret Jacob have argued that Freemasonry was inspired by Whig Newtonianism and played an important role in European Enlightenment scientific education. This paper illustrates the importance of natural philosophy in Masonic rhetoric and utilizes material from Masonic histories, lodge records and secondary works to demonstrate that scientific lectures were indeed given in some lodges. It contends, however, that there were other sources of inspiration for Freemasonry besides Newtonianism, such as antiquarianism, and that many other factors as well as the prevalence of Masonic lodges determined the geography of English scientific culture. Although the subject of Freemasonry and natural philosophy has great potential, as Jacob has demonstrated so well, much further work, especially in the form of prosopographical studies of provincial lodges, is required before the nature of the relationship between the two can be fully appreciated.

The transaction by British offices of life assurance business outside the United Kingdom brings with it problems which have been discussed by W. F. Gardner in his paper to the Institute on ‘Some considerations affecting the transaction of overseas life business’ (J.I.A. 66, 198) and by C. D. Sharp in his paper on ‘British life assurance overseas’ (J.S.S. 9, 2). These papers dealt with the principles to be observed and the practice to be followed in writing life business overseas having regard, inter alia, to local insurance laws. My intention is to consider the laws themselves, to point out some of the differences between them, and to consider to what extent they are consistent with actuarial principles. To keep the subject within practical limits I shall confine myself to Ordinary branch business in the Commonwealth and Egypt. Furthermore, I shall not consider laws which directly control the relationship between insurer and insured, and between insurer and field staff.

The purpose of the article is to try to determine the nature of the interrelationships between two supertasks - an actor and a role - in the process of an actor's creativity, based on an analysis of the essence of the problem of reincarnation in the art of an actor from the Stanislavsky school. The research methodology is based on analytical, general logical and comparatively typological methods, which make it possible to comprehend in an unconventional way the concept of the dialectical unity of two super-tasks in the process of an actor's creativity in the context of the problems of reincarnation. The subject of this research is the basic concepts of the world-famous "system" of KS Stanislavsky. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the theory of acting has never resorted to analyzing the dialectics of the relationship between two supertasks - the actor and the role - in the context of the problem of reincarnation. Its interpretation by the Stanislavsky school confirms the idea of ​​dialectical interaction of two super-tasks in a single creative process. Conclusions. In an artistically completed acting performance, we always deal with the presence of both the supertask of the actor himself, performing a certain role, and the supertask of the role (the actor). Despite their multidirectional nature, they nevertheless constitute a dialectically inseparable whole, transforming the process of reincarnation into a highly artistic act of creativity.
