Bridging Borders? Possible Ritual Connections in Figurative Finds between Hunter-Fisher-Gatherers and Early Farmers
Contacts between farming and hunting-fishing-gathering communities have been explored at various levels, ranging from material culture to domesticates and aDNA. An aspect that has barely been considered so far is whether there was also an exchange of worldviews, or rites and rituals. Those can, for example, be expressed through figurative objects made of bone, wood, antler, or clay. The article compares figurative objects from two study areas and…
Figurative representations of the fourth millennium BC in Central, Western and Southeastern Central Europe
The fourth millennium BC in western, central and southeastern central Europe is mostly known for its overarching cultural phenomena like the Baden and Funnel Beaker cultures, the invention of the wheel and the widespread use of animal traction. However, it also features a diverse range of figurative finds: figurines, vessels, petroglyphs, incised and applied human and animal representations. In this paper, their origins will be explored, after wh…
Domestic and wild animals in ancient Artaxata. Faunal report
Since 2018, new excavations in the Lower City of Artaxata, Armenia, have yielded thousands of animal bones. They provide valuable inside into the life of the ancient city and the relations between humans and animals in the time between the second century BC and the second century AD. The analysis of the bones is still ongoing. For now, the data proves a heavy focus on sheep and goats to a point where we can speak of specialized production. Cattle…
The Origin, Development and Decline of Lengyel Culture Figurative Finds
The Lengyel culture (4800–4100 calBC), covering Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and Hungary, is a hotspot for figurative finds, with especially high numbers occurring in Lower Austria, Moravia and Transdanubia. After the end of the Linear Pottery Culture, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figurines, vessels and applications appear in huge numbers, which is in stark contrast to post-LBK phenomena further to the west, like Hinkelstein–Gr…
Counting and comparing
As Neolithic figurative finds – that is to say anthropomorphic and zoomorphic figurines, vessels, applications and impressions – were uncovered in Europe and the Near East, it was quickly apparent that they all shared common features over several millennia and thousands of kilometres: they were made of clay, usually depicted women, and were found in settlements. This led to cross-cultural comparisons and, in turn, wide-ranging interpretations reg…
Avaliação de sistemas de Governo Aberto e de transparência pública nas capitais brasileiras
A cultura de Governo Aberto fomenta a colaboração entre governo e sociedade, a partir da transparência na gestão, participação social e da accountability dos agentes. Assim, avaliar se os cidadãos conseguem usar os sítios e portais de transparência é fundamental para compreender a eficiência da disponibilização dos dados. Uma forma de avaliar é usando heurísticas, uma técnica comum na área da Interação Humano-Computador. Considera-se que o tipo d…
Figurative Representations in the North European Neolithic—Are They There
This article offers a comprehensive survey of figurative finds from Neolithic northern Europe. The survey shows that the immediate absence of figurative representation in the region is real and that the almost complete lack of figuration stands out from the previous Mesolithic and the contemporary northern and northeastern European Neolithic hunter-gatherer groups. Furthermore, the absence of figurative representations contrasts strongly with the…
Análise de conteúdo e interação do Globoplay pela perspectiva do Design Audiovisual
O acesso à internet provocou mudanças nos hábitos e comportamentos das audiências televisivas, ampliando as formas de consumo aos ambientes digitais. Este artigo tem o objetivo de analisar quais são os elementos de conteúdo e interação da TV Globo e do Globoplay que possibilitam o consumo multiplataformas. Os resultados apontam para a limitação de estratégias comerciais da TV com foco na conquista por assinantes para o streaming. Concluímos neste…
Apulian prehistoric community connections
Bodies of Clay
Since the earliest use of pottery, vessels have been associated with both the general shape and specific parts of the human body. The production of human-shaped pottery might be understood as one element of the spectrum of figural art in prehistoric communities. The idea of studying anthropomorphic pottery and the return of human beings into a body made of clay, which forms the core theme of this collection of 12 papers, stems from work on anthro…
Mapeamento sistemático
Este artigo apresenta um mapeamento sistemático do estado de conhecimento das técnicas e dos métodos de utilização de sistemas audiovisuais, tais como vídeos, apps e jogos no processo de ensino de habilidades aos portadores do transtorno do espectro autista. O mapeamento contempla artigos de quatro bases de dados e classifica os resultados por meio dos problemas e soluções de pesquisa dos estudos. Como resultado, percebe-se o uso de soluções com …
O Design Audiovisual como opção metodológica para a produção radiofônica
Este artigo apresenta o Design Audiovisual como fluxo metodológico para a criação, produção e análise de programas de rádio. No ambiente midiático digital contemporâneo, as formas institucionalizadas do rádio estão sendo desafiadas com a introdução de novas tecnologias. As novas ferramentas, e os novos comportamentos da audiência, requerem que emissoras, produtores e pesquisadores levem em conta produções que tanto remetam à manutenção das formas…
We are One
This paper discusses anthropomorphic representations from two Ukrainian sites that can be dated to the Linear Pottery Culture. They can be categorized as applications and incised human representations. Although their posture is similar, their significance was likely different. The applications were fixed to vessels’ walls in such a way that they look inside the container, whereas the incised representations look outward, facing anyone that would …
Bodies of Clay
Queda de audiência e programação televisiva
The audience of Brazilian free-to-air TV is falling, requiring networks to review their commercial strategies, especially the programming schedule. The current scenario shows strong audience migration towards internet and pay TV, which has accentuated since 2006. Historically consolidated shows, such as newscast and telenovela, are amid the most affected. Both shows are the pillars for Globo Network’s schedule, thus, the broadcaster is the most i…

Early and middle Neolithic figurines - the migration of religious belief
In Linear Pottery Culture, two types of anthropomorphic figurines are distinguishable: Type 1 figurines have a columnar body, without legs or hips, while Type 2 figurines show more detail in their body shape. These two types have parallels in the Neolithic of south-east Europe, especially in the Starčevo culture. These parallels become evident not only in the shape of the body, but also in other features such as sexual characteristics, breakage p…
