Az átjárhatóság fogalmának jelentésrétegei Frenák Pál művészetében

A híres magyar tánckoreográfus, Frenák Pál művészi világát kívánom bemutatni, aki negyven éve szoros spirituális kapcsolatban van Gilles Deleuze francia filozófus műveivel, és gyakran a művészetről is deleuze-i fogalmakban gondolkodik, ugyanakkor nem használ konkrét szövegreferenciákat a munkáiban. Az átjárhatóság esztétikai és etikai kritériummá vált az alkotásaiban, melynek szükségességét gyakran megemlíti. Frenák a kortárs táncélet egyik legizgalmasabb koreográfusa, aki a siketek és nagyothallók jelrendszerének energiáiból építkezve egy új és egyedi (organikus) mozgásnyelvet hozott létre. I would like to display the artistic world of a famous Hungarian Dance choreographer (Pál Frenák) who has a special and deep spiritual connection to Gilles Deleuze for forty years. He did not use the philosophers’s works as references in his choreographical work but he thinks in Deleuzian notions. Transversality has become an aesthetic (and ethical) criterion in his work, the necessity of which he mentions often. Pál Frenák is one of the most exciting contemporary dance choreographers, a dancer who defines the very basis of the development of contemporary dance in Hungary. He utilizes the energy in the sign language used by the deaf and the hard of hearing, and earned his place in the annals of Hungarian dance history and international recognition by developing a new language of movement

The Clamorous Silence of the Body:: on Shusterman’s Somaesthetics

 It has been more than twenty-five years since Shusterman introduced somaesthetics in his book Practicing Philosophy: Pragmatism and the Philosophical Life. Since then the somaesthetic field has grown with many researchers working in its diverse fields, but Shusterman’s own work has also evolved in different (and sometimes surprising) ways. This essay examines some of those ways by exploring an attempt to map them

Former enclosed gardens as sites of slow tourism in Hungary

Enclosed gardens, as a special Hungarian historical-political concept and a unit of area, was created in the early 1960’s and was prevalent in two-thirds of Hungary’s territory. The term originally signified privately owned plots of land with small orchards, traditionally for vineyards and garden use. Enclosed gardens, as a category of real estate registration and legal unit has now been abolished. Some of the former enclosed garden areas are characterised by dynamic processes of transformation, pointing both towards urbanisation and residential use, and towards the afforestation of abandoned areas as a result of the cessation of a way of living. However, some of the former enclosed garden areas still retain many aspects of conscious human-made landscape-shaping activities, such as the landscape structure, natural and landscape values, and often carry the legacies of historical land use. Landscape values are also present in the form of natural areas protected by law or conventions in the area of the enclosed gardens. Specially protected areas are also tourist destinations or landscapes affected by slow tourism due to their attractiveness and landscape/natural values. The aim of the analysis is to show the role of enclosed gardens in the system of protected natural areas and the correlation between their protection and the extent of exploration and the density of tourist routes through the area. Through our investigation, we strive to answer the following corollary questions: What types of slow tourism (e.g., hiking and cycle trails) are more common in enclosed gardens? In geographical terms, in what areas of the enclosed gardens are protected nature areas, hiking and cycle trails more common? This provides an insight into the role of enclosed gardens in slow tourism, which can be linked to the value-preserving character of eco- and rural tourism, such as the economical use of resources or the development of closer cooperation with nature conservation. The present study is part of the research that seeks to understand the causes of land-use change in former enclosed garden areas and to explore the landscape values of former enclosed gardens

Re-written by machine and new technology: Did the Internet kill the Video Star

The traditional way of understanding television content consumption and viewer reactions may be simply summarised: information about the program, viewing at airing time, and interpersonal discussion after the program. In our digital media environment due to crossmedia consumption and platform shifts, the actual trend in audiovisual, and traditionally television content consumption is changing, the viewer’s journey is different across contents and platforms. Content is becoming independent from the platform and the medium is increasingly in the hands of technologically empowered viewers. Our objective is to uncover how traditional content expressly manufactured for television (series, reality shows, sports) can now be consumed via other platforms, and how and to what extent audiovisual content consumption is complemented or replaced by other forms (text, audio). In our exploratory research we identify the typical patterns of interaction and synergies of consumption across classical media content. In this study we used a multimethodology qualitative research design with three research phases including focus groups, online content analysis, and viewers’ narratives. Overall, the Video Star stays alive, but has to deal with immediate reactions and has to change according to his or her audiences’ wishe

Daniel Moreno, Santayana the Philosopher. Philosophy as a Form of Life

George Santayana is not one of the most famous, yet one of the few whose huge oeuvre offers different ways to explain his main notions in connection with a number of possible topics within philosophy. At first sight it takes a real challenge to choose Santayana as a central topic in contemporary research but later one can realize that the spaciousness of the Santayanan oeuvre can provide new opportunities of its interpretation in every time. Daniel Moreno with his doctoral dissertation on San..
