Abstract This conversation brings practitioners together from two different milieus of media production to initiate a dialogue about documentary practices as collaborative work, understood through reflexive lens that also attends the power relations and social differentiations inherent within its fabrication. As such, our explores how filmmaking emerges contingent negotiated between filmmakers ...

Current focus in the health care ethics literature on the character of the practitioner has a reputable pedigree. Rather than offer a staple diet of Aristotelian ethics in the undergraduate curricula, perhaps instead one should follow Murdoch's suggestion and help the practitioner to develop vision and moral imagination, because this has a practical rather than a theoretical aim. The imaginativ...

Complex human social cognition has evolved in concert with risks for psychiatric disorders. Recently, autism and psychotic-affective conditions (mainly schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and depression) have been posited as psychological 'opposites' with regard to social-cognitive phenotypes. Imagination, considered as 'forming new ideas, mental images, or concepts', represents a central facet of...

This poster briefly describes the motivations behind the architectural decisions taken in the design of Cuthbert Hall virtual college and gives an example that demonstrates how cinematic mediation techniques can contribute towards dramatized interpretation of the environment.

This paper presents a language by which authors can define cinematic sequences declaratively at a high level, while taking advantage of low level camera planning techniques and some procedural elements.

In this article, we will show how imagination and time are two sides of the same coin. To explain this, we require that imagination posits countability of alternatives. A countable set of alternatives can be sequenced on a timeline, for example the thinking human’s past, or it can be expressed as a countably infinite set of cycles such as a Fourier transform gives us. At the heart of our discus...

Using cinematic digital holography, we demonstrate that turbulent breakup of crude oil mixed with dispersants into microdroplets starts with the formation of very long and quite stable, single or multiple microthreads that trail behind 300-1400 microm droplets. These threads extend from Reynolds number dependent regions with high surfactant concentration, which, along with associated viscositie...
