In line with the work on perpetrators of mass violence and their cultural representations, the object of this research project consists in analyzing the narrative and iconographic representation of emblematic sites of mass violence, as well as the resignification of these sites through memory politics, historical pedagogy, judicial trials and Human Rights culture. The research line of this project focuses on a comparative perspective on seven sites of perpetration located in four substantially different areas and contexts: Spain, Germany, Cambodia, and Latin America’s Southern Cone.
This comparative perspective allows us to study the role played by microspaces, the material artifacts, the museum’s layout and narrative (audioguides), the peripheral rooms and activities, the literary production (memoirs and testimonies, as well as the imaginary evocations, such as novels, poems, and so forth) and the iconography and its migration through the iconosphere, both synchronically (that is, between the media) and diachronically (that is, over time), stressing the moments of change.
The objectives of this project are:
1) Create and validate two online software for the development and evaluation of intonation skills, the first for singing voice (Cantus) and the second for continuous or variable intonation instruments (Plectrum). The instruments addressed with the program are brass (trumpet, horn and trombone) and string (viola, violin and cello), taking into account the adequacy of the evaluated prototype to the gender differences identified in the research literature (genres female and male models of exercises or vocal samples, interface design, learning process model -more relational) and non-sexist language
2) Generate pedagogical knowledge regarding intonation teaching-learning processes in music education institutions, facilitating teaching work in the training and evaluation of this ability.
This project evaluates the impact that public art in university contexts through different types of artistic interventions, installations, performances... have on raising the awareness of the educational community (teaching and research staff and students) regarding gender equality and sexual diversity.
The discourse around these new vital circumstances that involve the reality of globalisation has in art a fundamental and priority referent towards its development and resulting understanding value.
