This chapter explores how Mixed Reality (MR) allows the magic of virtuality to escape the confines of the computer and enter our lives to potentially change the way we play, work, train, learn and even shop. Case studies demonstrate how emerging functional capabilities will depend upon new artistic conventions to spark the imagination, enhance human experience and lead to subsequent commercial success. The Media Convergence Laboratory at the University of Central Florida is creating a content framework for applying Mixed Reality to Entertainment, Education Training and Rehabilitation. Utilizing classical concepts of mimesis and state-of-the-art experiential entertainment, new models are examined and evaluated that will shape the next generation MR content. The convergence of story, play and games become the cornerstones of "Interplay Conventions" that will transform MR technical capabilities into new creative possibilities ("The Evolution of a Framework for Mixed Real...

The aim of written expression studies is to have students explain their knowledge, feelings, ideas and imaginations in a correct and effective manner. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of story map on story writing skills of first grade teacher candidates who study at the Department of Elementary Education. The research process is designed with mixed method. The study was conducted during the proceedings of Written Expression class in Fall Semester of 2012-2013 academic year. The work group in the study consisted of 45 (30 females and 15 males) pre-service teachers. The stories written by classroom teacher candidates as a result of the applied story map activities within class have been examined. It has been observed that all of the classroom teacher candidates have included the topic, subject, main character, introduction and body sections in the stories as a result of the applied story map activities within class. It has been seen that, as a result ...

Venticinque anni fa moriva lo scrittore napoletano Andrea Giovene dei duchi di Girasole (Napoli, 1904; Sant'Agata dei Goti, 1995), membro di una famiglia di antica nobiltà. Egli scrisse una voluminosa opera narrativa intitolata “L’Autobiografia di Giuliano di Sansevero” nella quale racconta la storia di parte della sua vita.  il terzo dei cinque libri, l’autore l’ha dedicato a descrivere, attraverso aneddoti ed esperienze di vita vissuta, quelli che erano, intorno agli anni “30 – “50 del secolo scorso, i costumi e le tradizioni della gente di Palinuro (Licudi, nel libro), un piccolo, isolato e povero borgo di contadini e pescatori del basso Cilento. In questo contesto racconta come abbia contribuito alla scoperta della Palinuro Arcaica e della sua Necropoli.

"Paul Jean" suit le parcours d’un personnage dans sa quête désabusée de l’autre et du monde social qui l’entoure : ne trouvant que soi et sa finitude.
La relation du personnage à l’altérité revient à interroger le sens qui se trouve en perte de lui-même. L’individu ne s’en trouve que plus libéré des conventions qui font socle commun.
"Paul Jean" est un conte politique par son traitement langagier ; il questionne la vie libérale, ce qu’elle fait au langage, aux individus et à la société dans son entier.

“Theory? What does this have to do with anything we’re doing?” Sound familiar? Students may not always verbalize this, but they often think it, especially in courses where the emphasis is on the development of technical skills and the application of those skills to the building of products. Presenting theory in a way that is relevant and engaging can be challenging under these circumstances. This article describes how we addressed this challenge by involving students in an analysis of their “best learning experiences” stories, and then helped them apply their discoveries to the products they built.

Many Persian classical historiographers try, directly or indirectly, to show their objectivism and impartiality to the audiences. Among them, the "author/narrator" of Saljuqnama does not clearly claim such a statement within the text, despite years of service at the court of the Seljuk kings and being the teacher of two of them. But referring to the textual signs, one can find some forms of his indirect struggles to reflect his narrative accurately, and precisely, with no political positioning, in order to create or promote the facts in a special way while attracting the audience's trust. Various types of discourse, and the conscious or unconscious interferences made by the "author/narrator" of Saljuqnama to concoct the reality or historical realities of Seljuk dynasty are categorized and analyzed, in present study, based on the distinction between two terms of "story" and "discourse", and also on the basis of the types of discourse in the formulation of Zheplint Volts. The results show that the "author/narrator"  has propelled or fixed,  either deliberately or not, levels of reality for or against somebodies in a variety of discursive forms such as: modal, explanatory, abstract, emotional and appraisal, and the consequence has been  legitimizing certain events and individuals or vice versa.

As a follow-up to Goffman’s work of resurgence following a stigma, this article shows how mastering the « the story of oneself » of people with skin stigmas operates this resurgence. Thus, it attracts the attention of researchers in social sciences on the need to take into account in their analyses such stories. If the article focuses primarily on the experience of a severe burn, links are initiated with other skin disorders that, both on the occasion of a normal (and legitimate) exposure as well as on a claimant exposure, will provoke similar reactions from spectators-visitors. This article therefore tries to shed some light on the different ways in which people successfully manage their skin stigmas, by developing all kinds of interactive skills and using certain « recent tools », such as the use of social networks to tell there stories.

Nel XX secolo si è assisto all’avvento di due nuove forme governo, mai viste nel passato: i totalitarismi che non sono semplici poteri assoluti e non somigliano a nessun assolutismo e a nessuna dittatura in quanto esercitano il potere politico con l’ambizione, la voglia, la volontà di governare un paese e cambiarne le istituzioni, come tutti i regimi democratici o dittatoriali, ma vogliono anche, come diceva Lenin, formare “l’uomo nuovo” manipolandone la coscienza.

A method of composing and analyzing stories, here in the form of dramas, is given which combines elements of chinese five-phase and feng shui theory and the enneagram. While feng shui is thought of in terms of interior design, it also provides a map of the life-world. This map is used here to construct drama space. The map consists of nine life-world areas which correspond to the nine enneagram types. These in turn are mapped to the trigrams of the I Ching, so that one can create a drama event by joining a life-world trigram with a personality trigram. A drama consists of a meaningful sequence of such hexagram events. These are given in the form of five-phase rings, each phase associated with a hexagram from the above matrix. Since many users of the enneagram may be unfamiliar with much of this theory, a substantial part of the paper deals with a brief position of it. The theory is then applied to the construction and analysis of dramas with examples. Nowhere in the method is chance employed.

La “Scuola di Milano” nei primi vent’anni del dopoguerra, ebbe grande importanza nella vita culturale italiana. Un ritratto a tutto tondo del cenacolo culturale raccolto attorno ad Antonio Banfi, con i suoi tanti e famosi allievi: Paci, Preti, Cantoni, Bertin, Formaggio, Anceschi, Sereni, Pozzi, Rogers, Rognoni, Alberto Mondadori e altri. L’influenza di questi studiosi andò ben oltre le mura dell’Università: toccò le arti, l’editoria e l’organizzazione della vita culturale cittadina.

This study present SocialStories-a system based on incremental clustering for streaming tweets, for identifying fine-grained stories within a broader trending topic on Twitter. The contributions include a novel tf-metric, called the inverse cluster frequency, and a decay weighting for entities. We present our experiments on 0.19 million tweets posted in June 2014, revolving around the mentions of a software brand before, during and after a marketing conference and a software release. The novelty of our work is the text-based similarity calculation metrics, including a new similarity metric, called the inverse cluster frequency, and time-specific metrics that allow for the decay of old entities with the passage of time and preserve the homogeneity and the freshness of stories. We report improved performance and higher recall of 80%, against the gold standard (posthoc journalistic reports), as compared to LDA-, and Wavelet-based systems. Our algorithm is able to cluster 80% of all tweets into story-based clusters, which are 86% pure. It also enables earlier detection of trending stories than manual reports, and is far more accurate in identifying fine-grained stories within sub-topics as compared to baseline systems.

When I was invited to speak at an Islamic finance event in Abuja, the headquarters of Jaiz Bank, I was wondering if I would get the chance to meet that visionary leader, and industry veteran, who played an instrumental role in introducing ethical finance to a multireligious society. The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Muhammad Sanusi II, was the keynote speaker at the event.

Given at TEDxGuelphU in November 2013, this is a talk about stories, about pens and swords, and the people and communities who wield them. About the power they can have for change, as well as needing to be cautious about the stories we’re telling, and re-telling. Even as we discover new techniques and gain new knowledge in science, art, design, and technology, we are re-samplers of culture, building hybrid identities by telling old, old stories in new configurations. And it is in each new telling that they acquire power.

Resumen: A inicios de los setentas, descubrí Bahía Ballena en el Golfo de Nicoya. Primero a campo traviesa, a bordo de un aguerrido jeep que domó pastizales y polvaredas, y luego hacinado en botes chiquitos y feos que anclaban en el mísero Tambor, cuando aún no era Barceló y, por ende, más pacífico y más bello. Muchas veces exploramos con ímpetu juvenil mar y tierra, espejo y cintura. Una vez que el caserón de doña Paquita estuvo lleno, a Chema y a mí nos dieron la opción del granero, junto a otros dos cristianos, a los que en la tarde habíamos visto tirados boca abajo, literalmente, en la inmensa playa. En su ropa de oficina, sus líneas formaban un peñasco de arena empapada, su destino una mueca de disgusto. El cuento y el escarnio de “Viva yo” no se los debo a la imaginación. Tampoco la sorpresa de una lánguida serpiente flotando entre nosotros y ese regusto ancestral en las aguas mansas, origen del cuento “Pelamis” (también inédito), que concebí mientras rumiaba la injusticia social que en el 74 me llevaría a luchar, estudiante de Derecho junto a campesinos sin tierra, bajo el alero del Frente Popular Costarricense. Cuarenta años después, pienso que las ideas y los sentimientos garabateados no tienen edad, son como aves intrépidas que de repente alzan vuelo, y algún día, quizá, estas imágenes fecunden otras vidas anhelantes como la mía.

Did the events we are going to tell you about really take place in history? It is hard to be sure. If they really did happen, then they have undoubtedly made their contribution to the collective formation of social culture and ethics. On the other side, if such facts did not take place in the past and these stories were only a side product of the historical process – just a fiction, then it would still be surely possible to find similar stories in the centuries-old social memory… The essence of things is always there, available for us, but it becomes truly ours in various forms only as our mind and spirit become ready for it…

Presents a story told to the author by a woman with severe psychosis. This story is embedded within the author's own narrative of his journey toward a career in clinical psychology. Discusses the ways in which we construct our realities, organize them into meaningful narrative frameworks, and by doing so, "reauthor" our experiences and liberate ourselves from potentially tragic endings.

What is going on in a therapeutic setting when one person tells a story to another? Is it really as it appears to be, with the story being told in order to communicate some information, either affective or factual? Or is this way of thinking about the business of therapy limiting, both for the people concerned (therapist and patient) and for those who theorise about the therapeutic process?
These are the questions around which this work is organised. The thesis itself takes the form of a story being told, the story of a therapist (Steve), of his client (Joseph) and his clinical supervisor (Giles).
The author uses the story of these relationships (Joseph and Steve, Steve and Giles) to argue that stories are told more to create something (a relationship) and forge something (a  more vital connection to an animating world) than to communicate something. The author suggests that an aspect of the Freudian legacy is a largely unconscious but powerful assumption in the minds of therapists that they are in the business of ‘unlocking riddles’, of intellectually grasping the underlying meaning of their patients’ communications. He gives an account of his own struggle with this underlying assumption and how it limited his effectiveness.
The author draws on both a philosophical tradition (represented in particular by Spinoza and Nietzsche) and a psychoanalytic tradition (Freud, Jung, Klein, Winnicott, Bion, Milner, Alvarez, Zinkin, Stern, Clark, Hillman and Eigen) to show what he suggests are more vital ways of thinking about human behaviour in general and the therapeutic encounter in particular.
