MORPHOLOGY STUDIES AS A SUPPORT FOR THE QUALIFICATION OF THE BUILT SPACE: TYPOLOGY OF BLOCKS by INARA PAGNUSSAT CAMARA, JOSELAINE TESK

The degree of involvement of fathers in the educational process of children by Kadrić Suada, Fetić Mustafa

“…Theoretical perceptions about the role of parents in child development have changed, as the father's family role in the family has changed, for the traditional patriarchal family in an industrial society, where the father is the only economic support, employed outside the home and only occasionally deals with children, while the mother in charge of the household and the full care of children - could have been validated by the fact that the father does not play an important role in the child's development until the third year ("matriarchate maturity", "society without father"), when starting with the child of representatives of authority, a factor of limiting behavior, a transporter of social, moral and cultural values, a connection with a world outside the family.…”

Disseminare gesti pe(n)santi, archiviare danze di gravità. Spostamenti e passi nella ricerca by Annalisa Piccirillo

“…I rely on the methodological tools provided by cultural and postcolonial studies; I position myself at the crossroad of Dance Studies and deconstruction; I move across the fleeting borders of the aesthetics of dance, video-dance and digital performance, in order to trace and re-trace, as I were performing an archival exercise, the seeds – the memory-gestures – inscribed and disseminated by some examples of female writing. I consult a Matriarchive: an imagined space of archivization where women-choreographers are the “archons”: they “commence” and “command” their body writing; they use their insurgent body-weight to affirm their agency; they re-inscribe the contemporary scene with new embedded body languages. …”
