TR // Bu çalışma, insan-sonrası [post-human] düşüncenin bir yansıması olarak, insan-oyuncunun tiyatro sahnesinden kaldırıldığı çağdaş deneysel teatral girişimlerin köklerini soruşturmayı amaçlar. İnsan-oyuncunun tiyatro sahnesinden geri çekilmesi fikri, tiyatronun ontik bileşenlerinden oyuncu ve seyirci çiftinin deformasyonuna sebep olduğundan, makalede karşı-teatral bir tutum olarak ele alınmıştır. Makalenin “Kökler” başlıklı birinci bölümünde, insansız tiyatro tahayyülünü farklı biçimlerde mesele edinen Heinrich Wilhelm von Kleist, Charles Lamb, Maurice Maeterlinck, Gordon Craig ve Vsevolod Meyerhold gibi öncü isimlerin görüşlerine yer verilmiştir. Makalenin “Bugün” başlıklı ikinci bölümündeyse, bu tahayyülün vardığı noktada, sahnede insan-oyuncunun yerini alan canlı ve cansız varlıkların yer aldığı gösterimlere —sırasıyla: Heiner Goebbels, Stifters Dinge [Stifter’in Şeyleri]; Romeo Castellucci, The Rite of Spring [Bahar Ayini]; Rimini Protokoll, Uncanny Valley [Tekinsiz Vadi]; Rimini Protokoll, Temple du Présent’a [Şimdinin Tapınağı]— değinilmiştir.
EN // This study explores the roots of contemporary experimental theatrical productions in which the human-actor is removed from the stage as a reflection of post-human thought. The idea of withdrawing the human-actor from the theatre stage is seen in the article as an anti-theatrical position because it leads to a deformation of the ontic components of theatre, the actor, and the audience pair. The first part of the article, entitled “Roots,” presents the perspectives of influential figures including Heinrich Wilhelm von Kleist, Charles Lamb, Maurice Maeterlinck, Gordon Craig, and Vsevolod Meyerhold, who each approached the concept of human-free theatre in different ways. In the second part of the article, titled “Today,” we explore the current state of this vision and the performances involving animate and inanimate entities replacing the human-actor on the stage, respectively: Heiner Goebbels’ Stifters Dinge, Romeo Castellucci’s The Rite of Spring, Rimini Protokoll’s Uncanny Valley, and Rimini Protokoll’s Temple du Présent.

Music & Practice, 2023
More than a decade ago, not long before the birth of this journal, Coessens, Crispin and Douglas published a book-length summary of what they termed The Artistic Turn. Returning to port on the final page, they nailed their colours to the mast with the following four essential imperatives: ‘Never forget the origin [ … ] Deterritorialize the research space [ … ] Search for a possible discourse [ … ] Search for the hidden dimensions and different perspectives’. These imperatives were phrased in matters of only a few syllables, starkly emboldened on the paper, and centrally aligned on the page all the better to drive themselves home into the cultural consciousnesses of practitioners. The mass of blank white space surrounding them allowed the reader’s thought to gather itself while the syllables faded from her lips. In the decade since The Artistic Turn settled in its moorings, a tsunami of activity has swept inland and redrawn the map of research into art making, even in music. New passages and channels have emerged and coalesced under various headings – Practice as Research, Practice Research, Performance Studies, Performance Philosophy, Artistic Research, and so on – and the affordances of the new fields are evolving, adapting, regrouping and bending in the drifting ebb and flow of academic currents. Every now and then, new eddies of activity and collaboration support a degree of personal development and institutional solidity. Doctoral programmes have been lifeboats for emerging artist-scholars – though imposter syndrome still occasionally haunts the footlights of the new stages that are opening up. In the spirit of the disciplinary energy funnelled by The Artistic Turn, this short text first answers one of the questions posed by the editors of Music & Practice, and then casts back out to sea with a set of mini-manifestos: Do this! While these ten injunctions celebrate the journal’s tenth birthday, each one is leaky and proliferates into smaller phatic imperatives (45 in total), quite unlike the well-formed literary dicta offered by Coessens, Crispin, and Douglas. The imperatives are fluid, easily diluted, and do not need to be remembered. If they but lap up against the edge of a qualia of an artistic research project that you recognize, then that will have been sufficient.

Paper, 2024
Paper ini membahas kebijakan Pemerintah Jepang dalam bidang transportasi, serta mengulas kasus pelecehan seksual di negara tersebut. Selain itu, paper ini juga membicarakan tentang aplikasi anti pelecehan seksual yang digunakan di Jepang dan menyebutkan laporan kesenjangan gender global tahun 2018. Kebijakan transportasi di Jepang telah diatur dalam Undang-undang Dasar tentang Kebijakan Transportasi, namun meskipun implementasinya sudah cukup berhasil, kasus pelecehan seksual di transportasi umum masih sering terjadi dengan jumlah kasus yang terus meningkat. Pemerintah Tokyo telah merespons dengan menciptakan aplikasi Digi Police untuk memudahkan korban melaporkan kasus pelecehan. Evaluasi kebijakan transportasi di Jepang menunjukkan perlunya evaluasi lebih lanjut untuk meningkatkan efektivitasnya. Dengan demikian, artikel ini memberikan gambaran komprehensif tentang isu transportasi dan pelecehan seksual di Jepang serta upaya yang dilakukan untuk mengatasi masalah tersebut.

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1998
Three experiments were conducted to test an interpretation of the response‐rate‐reducing effects of unsignaled nonresetting delays to reinforcement in pigeons. According to this interpretation, rates of key pecking decrease under these conditions because key pecks alternate with hopper‐observing behavior. In Experiment 1, 4 pigeons pecked a food key that raised the hopper provided that pecks on a different variable‐interval‐schedule key met the requirements of a variable‐interval 60‐s schedule. The stimuli associated with the availability of the hopper (i.e., houselight and keylight off, food key illuminated, feedback following food‐key pecks) were gradually removed across phases while the dependent relation between hopper availability and variable‐interval‐schedule key pecks was maintained. Rates of pecking the variable‐interval‐schedule key decreased to low levels and rates of food‐key pecks increased when variable‐interval‐schedule key pecks did not produce hopper‐correlated stim...

La fin du XXe siecle a ete marquee par un renforcement des liens d'interdependance entre des acteurs intervenant a des niveaux d'echelle differents. Ce contexte de globalisation se caracterise par l'affirmation de nouveaux acteurs a l'echelon global. Dans le meme temps, l'echelon local, longtemps « etouffe » par la place de l'Etat, a ete reactive par de nouveaux paradigmes dont celui tres pregnant de developpement durable. Se pose alors la question de la nouvelle place de l'echelon national. Nous nous proposons, a travers l'analyse des textes des politiques publiques forestieres de nous interroger sur les differents acteurs en presence (issus de differents echelons) et les discours, significatifs des representations de chaque categorie d'acteurs qui sous-tendent ces politiques forestieres. Notre communication s'appuie sur l'etude de trois Etats du Sud ayant connu des trajectoires historiques assez similaires (colonisation francaise, period...

The identification of the mechanical behavior of adhesives is necessary to describe the development of residual stresses during their curing, which might impact their mechanical strength and lead to early failure of the bonding. A simple characterization and modeling approach is therefore developed and presented, which permits to monitor and identify the mechanical behavior of a thermosetting adhesive during the whole curing process. The test method is based on a compressive test, which consists in applying a periodic displacement and recording the subsequent load variations during cure. The test set-up relies on a simple apparatus as it consists in steel cylinders mounted on a standard tensile test machine. The analysis of the mechanical behavior is based on an analytical description of a visco-elastic constitutive law following the Maxwell model, leading to the identification of the material apparent viscosity and Young’s modulus. This characterization methodology is applied to an...

A protocol for characterizing urban soundscapes for use in the design of Soundscape Indices (SSID) and general urban research as implemented under the European Research Council (ERC)-funded SSID project is described in detail. The protocol consists of two stages: (1) a Recording Stage to collect audio-visual recordings for further analysis and for use in laboratory experiments, and (2) a Questionnaire Stage to collect in situ soundscape assessments via a questionnaire method paired with acoustic data collection. Key adjustments and improvements to previous methodologies for soundscape characterization have been made to enable the collation of data gathered from research groups around the world. The data collected under this protocol will form a large-scale, international soundscape database.
