The article presents a didactic experience in the field of architectural drawing. It seeks to encourage drawing and the act of drawing based on their sensory, physical and emotional aspects, in contrast to the generalised technical and rational tendency in the emerging academies. The aim is to invite students to initiate the practice of drawing by hand, to become aware of its complexity, breadth and necessity in the field of architecture. In the exercise presented, the relationship between the act of drawing, music and dance is explored, emphasizing the necessity of the free and emotional gesture. The benefit of intertwining different artistic disciplines is also emphasized. The starting point is Piet Mondrian's particular passion for music and dance and how his pictorial work reveals this relationship. The visual results and the involvement of the students suggest the relevance and effectiveness of such exercises. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The main objective of this research was to systematize the recording and notation process of the music of the jiquilpenses dances of "Los Guajitos" and "Las Reboceras", using digital tools and theorizing it from an immaterial cultural heritage management approach and the digital humanities from the discussion of culture and music. The music of both dances was recorded for analysis of their spectrograms. Later, the score files were generated with specialized software. Among the data obtained, the shape and structure of the musical pieces could be observed. With the digital scores the melodic sections that make them up were identified and MIDI and XML files were generated that facilitate their study and contribute to the revitalization of this type of heritage through musical learning. The influences, context and meaning of the dances were deepened, fostering multiple reflections and expanding a horizon of investigative possibilities. The epistemological reflection produced and the contemporary technological tools used, allowed us to rethink the ways of investigating the different traditional musical expressions.

In this paper, we analyze the determinants of attendance and the frequency of attendance of performing arts events in Medellin, specifically theater, dance, and music. Using data from the Quality of Life Survey of Medellin 2014, we estimate regularized discrete choice models that allow us to efficiently select the relevant variables that explain the cultural consumption decisions, while at the same time, solving the statistical problems that appear when the number of explanatory variables is high. Results show that the level of education and time restrictions are the principal determinants of performing arts attendance in the city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The diversity of their dance is one of the principal sources of cultural expression for the Rarámuri, residents of the Tarahumara mountains in northern Mexico. Supported by a review of relevant literature and based on information obtained during eleven months of field-work between 2001 and 2005, this article offers a panoramic view of the ethnographic context that surrounds different dances, including musical accompaniment, that contextualizes the diversity of meaning that these dances present. The analysis allows us to think about the roles preserved by cultural manifestations, such as Rarámuri dance and music. Rather than simple diversions, they constitute a way of thinking and acting in the world aimed at preventing its end. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the field of developmental psychology new hypotheses are currently being brought forward about the infant's subjectivity and intersubjectivity. Namely, these are related to (a) the detection of very early perceptual abilities linked to time and (b) the recognition of the presence of antecedents of temporal arts (music and dance) in the mother-infant interactions. The purpose of this paper is to introduce this emerging approach to infancy and to outline its affinity with what is called "the second person perspective" in the field of philosophy of mind.
