Tras los pasos del FEX

Escrito por

Pocos saben cuántos minutos una mirada ha buscado el encuadre perfecto. Cuál ha sido la luz escogida. Qué parte del cuerpo, cuál del rostro o del vestido ha sido la única importante en ese momento. Es algo que queda sólo en el recuerdo del autor. Al espectador se le desvela la parte más importante. La imagen final.

Trece alumnos muestran ahora todo lo que ellos vieron en el pasado Festival de Extensión, un espacio propicio al movimiento, a la expectación y al escenario. Pueden adivinarse sus preferencias a la hora de enseñar todo sobre su Fotografía, Música, Danza y Ciudad. El taller de Fotografía de los Cursos Manuel de Falla tiene como objetivo aunar esas tres ideas básicas: la fotografía en Granada durante el Festival de Música y Danza, a través del reportaje como medio de captación de imágenes y de visiones de sus participantes.

La Sala Zaida abrió ayer al público una exposición en la que puede volver a revivirse el FEX del año pasado -ahora que comienza éste-. Están todos los espectáculos y todos los protagonistas. Pero, fundamentalmente, las cámaras dirigen su atención a la relación que surge entre todos ellos y la ciudad. Explica el director del taller, Francisco J. Sánchez Montalbán, que se trata de una muestra «completa y representativa» puesto que además de congelar momentos destacados de las actuaciones, conciertos, danzas u obras de teatro, aparecen en su «contexto, en su espacio y con su público».

Unas cincuenta fotografías componen la exposición que podrá verse hasta el 14 de julio con un horario de visita de lunes a sábado de 18:30 a 21:30.

Junto a las instantáneas podrá verse una proyección con algunas de las fotografías que han tenido que quedarse fuera. «No por falta de calidad», como subraya Sánchez Montalbán, sino porque pertenecían a espectáculos ya representados en otras. «Teníamos cientos y nos hemos visto obligados a elegir sólo unas cuantas».

Los participantes han sido Paula Banqueri, Bárbara Botello, Cristina Capilla, Susana Delgado, Marta García, Cristina López, Carmen Luengo, Rocrío Montes, Francisco Muñoz, Calio Ramos, Andrea Rodríguez, Alba Sarompas y Manuel Torres. Todos ellos, gracias a las enseñanzas de los profesores Sánchez Montalbán, Francisco Fernández y Rafael Peralbo, han sabido escoger entre la multitud de posibilidades que les brindaba el FEX.

Todos los años se celebra el curso que lleva a los alumnos a los escenarios del Fex. Organizado por la Universidad de Granada con la colaboración del Festival y Caja Rural, ayer mismo echó a andar el nuevo taller del que se podrán ver las fotos el próximo año. Su director explica que puesto que se cubren todas las actividades es necesario seguir «una especie de estrategia» para dividirnos y repartir esfuerzos. «Lo fotografiamos todo». Quince alumnos comenzaron ayer a repartirse la tarea de seguir cada movimiento del Festival de Extensión.

Sánchez Montalbán reconoce que si bien la mayoría de actuaciones ofrece posibilidades muy interesantes para los fotógrafos, hay lugares más «deseados, llamativos, o incluso fetiches» que los alumnos suelen preferir. Se trata, por ejemplo, de la Plaza de las Pasiegas, donde se unen arquitectura, el fondo de la catedral y el numeroso público que se suele dar cita allí. Ocurre algo parecido con la Chancillería, con sus columnas, o la» luz del atardecer» excepcional de la Huerta de San Vicente.

When Humans and Neanderthals Split

Escrito por

While DNA evidence suggests humans and Neanderthals mated way back when, the two groups did represent distinct species at the time. The question is: when did they last share a common ancestor?

A new study on dental fossils indicates Neanderthals and our own species, Homo sapiens, shared a common ancestor at least one million years ago, which is more than 500,000 years earlier than previously thought.

A million years is a drop in the evolutionary bucket, however, which perhaps helps to explain why we share so many features and behaviors in common with the red headed, meat loving, music producing Neanderthals.

Aida Gómez Robles, a researcher at the University of Granada, analyzed the teeth of virtually all hominid species that existed over the past 4 million years. Using quantitative methods, she determined that Neanderthal features existed in ancient European populations.

She found that, among the species studied, “none of them has a probability higher than 5% to be the common ancestor of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. Therefore, the common ancestor of this lineage is likely to have not been discovered yet.» Nevertheless, the detected differences allowed her to estimate a date for the Neanderthal/human separation.

She also concludes that it’s possible to correctly determine the species to which an isolated tooth belongs with a success rate ranging from 60% to 80%. Although these values are not very high, they increase as different teeth from the same individual are added. So if several teeth from the same individual are analysed, the probability of correctly identifying the species can reach 100%.
Gómez Robles also used computer simulation to recreate the studied dental features. In future, this technique could be used to recreate other features, giving us a much more accurate view of what common ancestors in the evolutionary tree of humans looked like.

Separation Between Neanderthal and Homo Sapiens Might Have Occurred 500,000 Years Earlier, DNA from Teeth Suggests

Escrito por

The separation of Neanderthal and Homo sapiens might have occurred at least one million years ago, more than 500.000 years earlier than previously believed, according to new DNA-based analyses.

A doctoral thesis conducted at the National Center for Research on Human Evolution (Centro Nacional de Investigación sobre la Evolución Humana), associated with the University of Granada, analyzed the teeth of almost all species of hominids that have existed during the past 4 million years. Quantitative methods were employed, and they managed to identify Neanderthal features in ancient European populations.

The main purpose of this research, whose author is Aida Gómez Robles, was to reconstruct the history of evolution of the human species using the information provided by the teeth, which are the most numerous and best preserved remains of the fossil record. To this purpose, a large sample of dental fossils from different sites in Africa, Asia and Europe was analyzed. The morphological differences of each dental class were assessed and the ability of each tooth to identify the species to which its owner belonged was analyzed.

The researcher concluded that it is possible to correctly determine the species to which an isolated tooth belonged with a success rate ranging from 60% to 80%. Although these values are not very high, they increase as different dental classes from the same individual are added. That means that if several teeth from the same individual are analyzed, the probability of correctly identifying the species can reach 100%.

Aida Gómez Robles explains that, from all the species of hominids currently known, «none of them has a probability higher than 5% to be the common ancestor of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens. Therefore, the common ancestor of this lineage is likely to have not been discovered yet.»

Computer Simulation

What is innovative about this study is that computer simulation was employed to observe the effects of environmental changes on morphology of the teeth. Similar studies had been conducted on the evolution and development of different groups of mammals, but never on human evolution.

Additionally, the research conducted at CENIEH and at the University of Granada is pioneering — together with recent studies based on the shape of the skull — in using mathematical methods to make an estimation of the morphology of the teeth of common ancestors in the evolutionary tree of the human species. «However, in this study, only dental morphology was analyzed. The same methodology can be used to rebuild other parts of the skeleton of that species, which would provide other models that would serve as a reference for future comparative studies of new fossil finds.»

To carry out this study, Gómez Robles employed fossils from a number of archaeological-paleontological sites, such as that of the Gran Colina and the Sima de los Huesos, located in Atapuerca range (Burgos, Spain), and the site of Dmanisi in the Republic of Georgia. She also studied different fossil collections by visiting international institutions as the National Museum of Georgia, the Institute of Human Paleontology and the Museum of Mankind in Paris, the European Research Centre Tautavel (France), the Senckenberg Institute Frankfurt, the Museum of Natural History in Berlin, the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology in Beijing and the Museum of Natural History in New York and Cleveland.

The results of this research were disclosed in two articles published in Journal of Human Evolution (2007 and 2008), and they will also be thoroughly presented within a few months.

Alumnos de la UGR y estudiantes con síndrome de Down participan en un proyecto creativo de Danza y Discapacidad

Escrito por

Un grupo formado por 100 alumnos de la UGR y 58 del Centro Ocupacional la Purísima Concepción bailarán conjuntamente mañana jueves diversas coreografías al ritmo de la música de Michael Jackson Esta actividad pretende demostrar los increíbles beneficios terapéuticos que la música puede tener para las personas con necesidades educativas especiales

Más de 100 estudiantes de la Universidad de Granada, acompañados de 58 alumnos discapacitados psíquicos y físicos del Centro Ocupacional de la Purísima Concepción, participarán mañana jueves, 24 de junio, a partir de las 11,30 horas en un original proyecto creativo de Danza y Discapacidad, en el que todos ellos bailarán conjuntamente diversas coreografías preparadas para la ocasión al ritmo de la música de Michael Jackson.

Esta actividad tendrá lugar en la Facultad de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte de la UGR, y pretende demostrar “los increíbles beneficios terapéuticos que la música puede tener para las personas con necesidades educativas especiales” del centro, entre los que hay muchos alumnos con síndrome de Down.

No en vano, los estudiantes de la UGR llevan semanas trabajando y ensayando de forma conjunta con ellos, en un proyecto que forma parte de la asignatura “Fundamentos de las habilidades rítmicas” que se imparte en la Facultad.

Un contexto distinto al habitual

Como explica la profesora de la UGR Belén de Rueda Villén, responsable de esta actividad, “el simple hecho de que estos alumnos con necesidades especiales se vean en un contexto distinto al que están habituados, como es el universitario, ya tiene muchos beneficios para ellos”.

Además, la coordinación dinámica general, en trabajo en grupo, el interactuar con los estudiantes de la UGR y el expresar emociones a través de su propia expresión corporal son otras de las aportaciones que esta actividad tendrá para los alumnos de la Purísima Concepción.

Todos ellos estarán acompañados por su profesor Fermín Alvarez Parejo, antiguo alumno de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte y otro de los promotores de esta bonita iniciativa.

La profesora Belén de Rueda, junto a los alumnos de su asignatura, organizó hace algunas semanas un ‘flash mob’ en el Instituto Zaidín Vergeles, que supuso todo un éxito de participación y asistencia.

CONVOCATORIA:

Encuentro de 20 facultades de Bellas Artes celebrado en el BEC de Baracaldo

El pasado 20 de junio se clausuró IKASART, 2º encuentro de Facultades de Bellas Artes, organizado por la Asociación Turismo Encartaciones Enkartur y la Universidad del País Vasco, con el patrocinio de la Diputación Foral de Bizkaia, que tuvo lugar durante cuatro días en el BEC (Bilbao Exhibition Centre), recinto ferial de Baracaldo.

En este encuentro, único en Europa han participado 15 facultades de BBAA del Estado y 5 extranjeras: Leioa (UPV/EHU), Barcelona (UB), Cuenca (UCLM), Madrid (UCM), Alonso Cano, Granada (UGR), Tenerife (ULL), Málaga (UMA), Altea (UMH), Murcia (UM), Valencia (UPV), Sevilla (US), Pontevedra (UVigo), Teruel (UZ), Aranjuez (UCM), Salamanca (USAL) y facultades de Burdeos, Florida, Berlín, Leiria (Portugal) y L’Aquila (Italia),.

En esta segunda edición del evento –en la que han participado más de 250 alumnos- cada facultad ha contado con un espacio individual de 100 metros 2 para mostrar los trabajos artísticos de su alumnado, ocupando la muestra una superficie total de 2000 metros2. La programación se ha completado con otras actividades paralelas: Programas de Vídeo, Foros de Debate y Showroom.

Programas de vídeo

Durante los cuatro días que ha durado IKASART se han proyectado trabajos en vídeo producidos en las facultades participantes, en los cuatro espacios destinados a tal efecto.

Foros de debate

De modo paralelo a las exposiciones y al resto de programación, el jueves y viernes tuvo lugar un foro de estudiantes. Un comité científico seleccionó las comunicaciones participantes en torno a tres temas: 1.- Investigación en las facultades de Bellas Artes, 2.- Docencia/pedagogía de las artes en el siglo XXI y 3.-El “impacto” de las nuevas tecnologías: producción cultural, profesionalización, etc.
