One of the prominent theories of cultural studies is cultural materialism, which has its base on the theory of Marxism. Much of the research work done regarding cultural materialism is on Renaissance literature; the development of the theory itself is through the studies conducted on the plays of William Shakespeare, who is one of the epitomes of Renaissance literature. This paper aims to be a unique cultural materialist reading done on a graphic novel based on Kashmir, Indian subcontinent. Kashmir is one of the most desired lands on Earth; it has also been a land of contest right from 1947. This article attempts to explore Malik Sajad’s reflection of the Kashmiri society by analyzing and discussing graphic panels from Munnu: A Boy from Kashmir (originally published in 2015) in the light of cultural materialism. Since cultural materialism admits that a text mirrors the socio-cultural and political life of a society; it has been used for interpreting this Kashmir-based graphic novel which is a blend of image and words. This graphic memoir offers a unique narration of the political and societal lives of Kashmiris through the creative deployment of an anthropomorphic metaphor. This study shows how Sajad graphically reflects the dominant ideology and dissident discourses in these panels.

This article reveals the epistemology of the pillars of existence between art research and artistic creation. The main focus is to tell about the nature of the paradigm, especially the paradigm of research and artistic creation. This discussion is necessary because both have been present as art disciplines that have received wide attention in the academic world. This paper elaborates ideographically on the thoughts of researchers and artists comprehensively when researching and creating art. The aim is to improve epistemological literacy in learning the implementation of research and creating works of art with strong pillars of existence. Anyone concerned with research and art creation has significant potential to carry out academic tasks. Whoever they are, they need a pillar of existence as the basis for intellectual performance. This article describes the nature of the pillars of existence in art research activities and the nature of the pillars of existence in art creation activities. The elements of the two paradigms, the relationship between the pillars of existence, and the elements of the paradigm will receive great attention. This explanation has an important meaning, namely to foster regular reasoning in the development of the paradigm of researchers and art creators, as well as to stimulate the spirit to be accountable for their work academically for art researchers and creators.

This study aims to produce a valid, practical and effective model of entrepreneurial learning to achieve human resources with high level of knowledge and entrepreneurial spirit, and it uses Albert Bandura’s social cognitive theory and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is someone’s belief or confidence to implement a variety of activities based on the knowledge, experience and skills possessed. The study was conducted at State University of Medan, Indonesia and some small companies. The population was the whole 2016 classes studying entrepreneurship at State University of Medan and all the small businesses in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. Four classes in the Faculty of Economics and four companies were selected by purposive random sampling. The development research method used: 1) initial investigation, 2) design, 3) realization (construction), and 4) testing, evaluation, revision. The sample was used for the application and experimentation of the learning model, and the companies were for students’ internship/observation. The quality of the models was assessed using the indicators of validity, practicality, and effectiveness. The validity was tested by experts of instructional model. The effectiveness was measured by comparing 1) self-efficacy, 2) entrepreneurial intention, and 3) the improvement of learning achievement by Student’s t-test. The research findings proved that the application of business-based entrepreneurial learning model can positively and significantly improve students’ entrepreneurial intention, but it cannot improve the academic achievement of students.

This article proposes to look at how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the valuation of the world of material culture, and how the subject itself can become an inspiration to describe this particular time. Naive anthropomorphism, and thus criticism of the view of the superior role of human, although present for many years, has taken on a new meaning at this particular time. As a theoretical framework for presenting the proposed issues, I adopt the reference to the interpretation of the concept of an “object” present in the social sciences and humanities, as well as the role of designers and the explication of design in the literature. The picture will be complemented by a reference to the Pandemic Objects project, implemented in 2020 by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, United Kingdom.

There has been research on the significance of placemaking as a process for user health and well-being and how that affects their way of life in urban planning and development. Creative placemaking, one of the most effective paradigms for making social sustainability, lacks community attributes for social cohesion in planning and design techniques for community spaces, which is the focus of the study. A conceptual model for the inclusion of the concept of creative placemaking in community open spaces to enhance social cohesion in residential environments are proposed in this study. The study employs a qualitative approach to determine the elements and indicators of creative place placemaking considering placemaking as a social process. Community open spaces in a residential neighbourhood were shown to be developing creative placemaking indicators based on theoretical Research VIZ: a) place attachment, b) connection to nature, c) sense of place, d) place memory, e) happy place mapping, and f) image and identity that altogether significantly could contribute towards effective social cohesion in these spaces.

The unprecedented circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic significantly changed the usual processes of work throughout the creative industries. In case of theatre, the companies could no longer perform in the usual facilities and rehearsals were restricted. Theatre artists reacted differently to the new conditions dictated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Facing restrictions of working in contact mode some sought ways to adapt and not only create but also present performances to audiences online, others chose to deny the forms of mediatized theatre, as if waiting for the times to change. The aim of this article is to review the dynamics of theatre attendance in Lithuania in the 2018–2020 period. Data from yearly reports of state funded theatres reveal how many viewers visited Lithuanian theatres physically and how many performances were watched online. The analysis of this data provides an insight into the changes in the number of viewers compared to the pre-COVID-19-pandemic years and answers the question of whether performances on Internet platforms attracted a significant number of online audiences. The results of the analysis are indicative of the sustainability of the demand for views of performances online.

Green creativity is developing original and practical ideas that could result in green products and services. Moreover, as stakeholders favour environmentally responsible policies and practices, organizations are shifting towards green business models and initiatives. Though there is extensive literature on various green behaviours, there is a lack of a clear understanding of what motivates green creativity. The present study bridges this research gap by identifying employee green behaviour, green shared vision, and green value as antecedents of green creativity. The study used structural equation modeling, based on data from 384 respondents, to analyze the relationship between the variables. The findings revealed significant positive relationships between the variables, supporting the model developed for the study. The study’s findings can help organizational leaders to enhance green creativity and consequent innovations by encouraging and facilitating employee green behaviour, green shared vision, and green value.

The research aimed to know the relation between self-regulated learning and creative thinking skills of elementary school students in the distance education during COVID-19 pandemic. Self-regulated learning and creative thinking skills are needed by elementary school students. They train the students’ cognitive development during the learning process and prepare them for the next educational level. Teachers should guide, encourage, and implement appropriate learning strategies to improve the students’ self-regulated learning and creative thinking skills. It employed a quantitative approach with ex post facto and survey methods. The sample was 121 elementary school students taken randomly in Sleman Regency, Indonesia. The data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire. The results showed that the students’ self-regulated learning level was in the moderate category, which was the highest frequency. The creative thinking skills also reached the same level and frequency. Further, self-regulated learning and creative thinking skills were correlated with a high correlation coefficient rate (R = 0.856). Therefore, it is recommended that teachers use a learning method that can activate and develop the self-regulated learning to increase the students’ creative thinking skills.

This research aims at shedding light on one of the needed skills inside the architectural design studio; that is, tolerance of ambiguity. Since design problems are characterized by complexity, unfamiliarity, and ambiguity; design process is described as a process where ambiguity is progressively resolved. Design process engenders negative feelings especially during experiencing states of not knowing and being stuck. However, most of architecture students, who are new to design process, find states of uncertainty and confusion threatening, annoying, and unnerving. Hence, the ability to navigate these negative feelings and work efficiently is important in creative design thinking. This skill is linked to a philosophical notion called negative capability; which means to have the ability to work amidst uncertainty despite the negative associations. Therefore, the researcher attempts to demonstrate the significance of negative capability, i.e. ambiguity tolerance, to students’ design performance via revealing its influence on their creativity and design behavior. The researcher aims at exploring the relation between architecture students’ attitudes towards ambiguity and their creativity via qualitative study. By recruiting 237 architecture students and assessing their ambiguity tolerance and creative thinking, the analysis revealed a significant correlation between the two variables.
