Globally, the number of Internet users increased from only 413 million in 2000 to over 3.4 billion in 2016. The one-billion barrier was crossed in 2005. Every day over the past five years, an average of 640,000 people went online for the first time. But how many people from each country are online? In the maps, we see the total number of users by country, and the percentage of a country’s population who are users. #gis #map #maps #mapping #mapmaker #mapmakers #mapofeurope #cartography #mapmonday #geography #geographyteacher #cartographyart #worldmaps #mapstagram #worldculture #teachersforteachers #politicstoday #countriesoftheworld #internet #internets #internetbusiness #digitalmarketing #internets https://www.instagram.com/p/Cfyf-OQIuXy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

10/22 ①食文化についての調査

食事を題材にするのでまず食文化について少し調べたメモ。

◇食文化の要素

食材の選び方、献立の立て方、調理法、食器の選び方、誰と食べるか、どのように食べるか、作法・マナー、頻度、時刻、特別な日の食事

◇現代の食文化の流れ

グローバリズムの中で均一化の方向に向かっている（ファストフード、インスタント食品、スナック菓子など）一方で、家庭料理は伝授されつづけ、郷土料理の再評価や地産地消への意識、スローフード運動などが行われたりしている。

◇多様な食文化

それぞれの民族、宗教、地域、国家にそれぞれの食文化がある。ユダヤ教やイスラム教、ヒンドゥー教などでは食べることが禁止されている食材や組み合わせ、断食の習慣などがあり、航空機の機内食ではそれぞれに配慮した献立などが用意されている。とてもわかりやすい世界の食文化が紹介されている明治のウェブサイト（https://www.meiji.co.jp/meiji-shokuiku/worldculture/）

◇和食

日本は、地域ごとの気候や風土が生み出す四季折々の海の幸・山の幸にめぐまれ、その自然の味を生かした料理を作り食べてきた。食材を無駄なく使うために調理や保存を工夫し、四季を味わうための料理の器や盛り付け、部屋の飾りなどにも気を配り、正月などの行事に合わせた特別なご馳走を作り出してきた。また、伝わってきた海外の食材や料理を暮らしと共に独自のものへと変化して取り入れていきながら和食の文化を育んできた。和食の基本の形は「一汁三菜」で、ごはん・汁物・おかず・漬物の組み合わせは平安時代の終わり頃から現代まで受け継がれている。納豆や醤油などの発酵食品や昆布や鰹節のだしから出るうま味、保存や栄養価アップの効果もある乾物など、昔からの知恵が受け継がれてきた。海外から伝わったものが変化した料理にはカレーライス・ラーメン・コロッケ・オムライス・トンカツ・ナポリタン・肉じゃが・すき焼きなどある。これまたとてもわかりやすい明治のウェブサイト（https://www.meiji.co.jp/meiji-shokuiku/japaneseculture/washoku/）

◇食事の意味

人にとって食事するとはどのような営みなのか、6つ挙げられる。 1. 材料としての食事→体の構成成分や正常な機能の調達 2. 燃料としての食事→生命活動のエネルギー源 3. 刺激としての食事→消化管運動など生理機能の引き金 4. 潤滑油としての食事→代謝におけるスムーズな化学反応など 5. 節目としての食事→時間感覚の維持 6. 楽しみとしての食事→味や香りを堪能し、コミュニケーションや環境を楽しむ、人生の彩り ※参考

◇食べること

高齢者にとってのいちばんの生き甲斐が「食べること」であるという記事があった。おそらく高齢者に限らず一定数いると思う。「食べること」とは、買い物や献立を考えることから、料理すること、食事すること（コミュニケーション）、後片付けまでの一連の流れがある。少し余談自分にとって食べることは生きてて一番か二番目に好きな時間だと思う。先日まで体調崩してて何も食べれなくて本当��地獄だった。ずっと料理関係の動画を見ながら耐え忍んでた笑。私が食べることの好きな部分はいくつかある。人が自分のために料理を作ってくれることも好きだし、自分が作った料理がおいしかった��きのうれしさだったり、人が食べてくれた時のうれしさも好き。クリスマスやバレンタインなどのイベントでどんな面白いものをつくろうか考えるのもとても好き。どちらかというと、料理のおいしさではなく「食事の楽しさ」が好きだと思った。

Native Languages of The Disney Characters🌏🗣😃

Totally think this is worth sharing for any fans of the Disney Animated Movies as well as the various languages in the world. Very fascinating. Makes ya wonder why the native languages weren’t simply used in the first place (DISNEY...mmmHM). I’m not like a “Disney-Person” (or fanatic like a lot of folks in Orlando [apparently]). Regardless, this is some cool food-for-thought. I appreciate different languages.

Understanding History From Their Point of View

Whenever we look at history we see it through the eyes of our modern world, glimpse it through the tinted lens of modernity. Of course, it’s only natural, even unavoidable to people who have grown up knowing nothing but our culture. But when we do this it can drastically skew our perception how we understand the past. When we look at it through the perceptions, social norms, cultural and social expectations and standards of our modern age - like growing social, gender, and racial equality, improved living conditions for the masses, safe and regulated work environments - almost everything that came before looks backward, antiquated and irrelevant to us. Of course it would, how could it compare to our modern world?

When we do this, however, history loses its weight - the world hasn’t always been the way it is now - and often, we fail to grasp the true value and understand what made times-gone-by so groundbreaking, innovative, revolutionary, and stand in stark contrast from everything that had come before, paving the way for the world as we know it, and everything we take for granted in this modern age.

There have been times, epochs, people, movements, and cultures, which broke away from the way things had always been, and ushered in a new way of living for humanity, by bringing something truly new to the planet, which had never been seen before, that would shape the course of the world we live in to this day.

We stand on the shoulders of many these great cultures and peoples, even though we may not realize it - we owe much of our modern world to them and the strides they took forward for humanity.

To truly understand the value and relevance to our modern world, we must unvail our filters and see these times and peoples not from the eyes of the future, but through the viewpoint of the past - from the perspective of their contemporary world, with fresh eyes, to realize what made them so unique and therefore impactful, from anything that had come before.

This will be the journey we will go on together. I will do my best to complete this task. I bid you gracious welcome, fellow time traveller, thank you for adventuring with me.

Choreographic Objects: a blog by volunteer Sam Metz

I undertook a short residency as an artist at Derby Museums within their World Cultures Gallery, platformed by Divine Locale a curatorial group supporting emerging artists and graduates formed by Derby University graduates Jade Foster and Jennifer Birch and steered by current Derby University Fine Art students.

I was conscious in undertaking the work that I have a few positions to be transparent about; I am a white artist for whom working in a world cultures gallery should be done with an undertaking of an examination of white privilege. I am also someone who is actively engaged in community work and education within museums and galleries, having worked as a programmer, artist and educator in many galleries and museums in the East Midlands. I am passionate about the notion of co-production, particularly in relation to building collections and exhibitions. I am particularly passionate about Derby Museums inclusion of human centred design in the way they curate their collections – utilising process led approaches that create spaces with a lack of fixity in meaning – so that new visitors and communities can add their stories and interpretation.

With this in mind and with an idea that the emerging interpretation in the world cultures gallery was evolving and could be informed by mine and the other artists explorations – I decided I wanted to make my work ‘small’ and by this I mean, have limited traces in the gallery itself. The stories in the gallery space speak of colonialism, theft, occupation – the crimes of white people. I felt that my white voice was unnecessary in that narrative. I am more interested in the stories of objects of the world being told by diverse communities.

I have been working with groups of young people with autism and learning difficulties to create non-verbal interpretation of exhibition content for some years now. This has often involved creating movement (dancing, touching, sniffing, tasting) in the gallery space in response to artworks and artefacts and then translating those physical responses back in the studio/ atelier space through making and experimentation and diverse artistic practice that interplays with the exhibition themes – from film and animation to assemblage. I have worked with young people to create alternative conversations with artworks that form interpretation that doesn’t privilege verbal and visual responses – I have been active in this work as a way of highlighting difference and to destabilize the prioritization of neurotypical interpretation over autistic sensorial interpretation and response, suggesting alternative conversations that can be had. I have been inspired by somatics and dance as a vehicle for unorthodox embodied interpretation.

I have been working on the idea of choreographic objects as an individual practitioner and as a socially engaged artist. This involves using the provocation of dance artist, choreographer and theorist Deborah Hay – of ‘Let my body be my leader’ as an impetus for narrating an interaction with an object. Quite simply through visual empathy and an understanding of the form, weight, shape and line of an object I allow my body to be inspired and to move. My body catalogues the feeling of an imagined touch of the object – it recreates the muscular sensation of touching, it translates it and stores the memory of the object. My body becomes an archive or a repository for the encounter. In performance I relate the aesthetic understanding I have of an object. In other project works I then create notation of my encounter through drawing and animation which creates a score for a movement motif. I was clear that this time it was important for me to not make physical works that left a trace in the gallery – and instead my body would be the sole ‘interpreter’.

A dialogue across objects

A line

A shape

A suggested connection

A deviation from the plane

An imagined moment

A pushing from static to fluid

A weight

A lightness

Touch and repel

Conversations across space

Through imagined connections

In the World Cultures Gallery I worked with three objects. I always think that good curation involves objects having dialogue across a space. I was interested in the shape and form of three sets of objects – a ceremonial axe handle from Trobriand Islands, Pacific Ocean, a pair of unprovenanced figures and the skull of an elephant, Gabon, Africa. These objects were in different displays but created a sight line and section across the gallery. I created a sequence of movements that documented the way I viewed the objects, the way they made me feel physically. I created a motif of movements that documented this visual and physical engagement I had with the objects – from looking and walking around them. My dance didn’t interpret their histories or provenance or my understanding of their journey to the museum.

Was that ok? I’m really not sure – my desire was to move away from the mythic connections I may have to working with an elephant’s skull. An animal I know from stories and representation and not one I encounter in my wildlife. I was interested in what happened when I thought and I examined how my body responded to the lines and smoothness of this large object – rather than how my body exoticised and romanticised my idea of it. It feels like there is something democratic about having an embodied interaction with a work – but of course that isn’t wholly true as we all have different bodies.

I was interested in how the axe head deviated from the plane of the back of the vitrine, a curve I could recreate in my back side and legs. I was interested in the proxemic relation of my body and the skull, how I could walk around it and how it created spirals in my body. I was interested in how the two figures had bellies that if you moved them closer could be touching. I taped off a small square in the gallery and I performed each part of the motif, knitting together the embodied interactions into a short performance piece.

Many thanks to Divine Locale and Andrea Hadley–Johnson. Head of Co-production Display for the time and space for Research and Development
