French blurb / quatrième de couverture:
Ce livre est le fruit d'un projet ambitieux visant à replacer l'émergence du portrait européen dans le contexte large d'une évolution où parmi d'autres facteurs les rites funéraires et les masques mortuaires jouent un rôle déterminant. L'« archéologie de la ressemblance » est ainsi la formule que l'auteur propose pour renouveler notre connaissance des débuts du portrait au XIIIe siècle, c'est-à-dire bien avant l'apogée du portrait individuel à la Renaissance. Par une transgression audacieuse des frontières du champ disciplinaire, l'enquête jette un éclairage inattendu sur l'environnement culturel qui favorisa l'apparition de ce genre visuel si caractéristique du continent européen. Le recours à la méthode étymologique enrichit tout particulièrement l'investigation en éclairant d'un jour nouveau les causes profondes de cette représentation figurée. Sur un sujet où tout déjà semblait avoir été dit, un arrière-plan aux multiples facettes se trouve ici mis au jour, qui d'une manière exemplaire révèle la complexité des facteurs intervenant dans l'histoire de la représentation figurée.

German blurb / Klappentext:
Das Buch spannt einen weiten Bogen und ordnet die Herausbildung des europäischen Porträts in einen viel größeren Zusammenhang ein, in welchem auch Grabriten und die Totenmaske eine Rolle spielen. So ist etwa die „Archäologie der Ähnlichkeit“ ein Stichwort, um unsere Aufmerksamkeit für die Anfänge des Porträts im 13. Jahrhundert, lange vor der Blütezeit des Individualporträts in der Renaissance, neu zu wecken. Indem sie die Fachgrenzen kühn überschreitet, bietet die Untersuchung einen unerwarteten Einblick in das kulturelle Umfeld, in welchem es zur Entstehung dieser für Europa so charakteristischen Bildgattung kommen konnte. Das gilt auch für die Etymologie der Begriffe, die bei diesem Vorgang eine Rolle spielen und ein neues Licht auf die Motivation hinter diesem Bildnis werfen. In einem Thema, in dem alles schon gesagt schien, wird hier ein vielfach verzweigter Hintergrund freigelegt, der exemplarisch beweist, wie komplex die Gründe sind, die in der Bildgeschichte eine Rolle spielen.

"Surveys of vocalizations are a widely used method for monitoring anurans, but it can be difficult to
coordinate standardized data collection across a large geographic area. Digital automated recording systems (ARS)
offer a low-cost method for obtaining samples of anuran vocalizations, but the number of recordings can easily
overwhelm human listeners. We tested Song Scope, an automatic vocalization recognition software program for
personal computers to determine if this type of machine learning approach is currently a viable solution for anuran
monitoring. For three species, Song Scope scanned more than 200 h of recordings in 3-20 h at the settings we chose.
The software misidentified true calls (false positive) at rates of 2.7%-15.8% per species and failed to detect calls (false
negative) in 45%-51% of recordings. There exists a tradeoff between false positive and false negative errors, which can
be adjusted by setting the minimum criteria for the recognition software. Users of this approach should carefully
consider their reasons for monitoring and how they intend to use the data before creating a large monitoring network."

Rosin, a natural resin, was used as a hydrophobic matrix material for the controlled release, using diltiazem HCl as model drug. Matrix tablets were prepared by direct compression method using rosin as matrix forming material in different proportions and with different diluent combinations. The tablets prepared were flat faced, retained their shape throughout. The method of preparation of matrix system and its concentration were found to have pronounced effect on the release of diltiazem HCl. The release was found to follow both the first order kinetics and fickian diffusion. The drug delivery was analyzed using the paddle method according to USP XXIII. All the studies were done in phosphate buffer pH 7.4. The matrix tablets were evaluated for its thickness, hardness, friability, weight variation, drug content and invitro release studies. The results suggest that the rosin is useful in developing sustained release matrix tablets, prolong release of water soluble drug for up to 24h. Rosin thus promises considerable utility in the development of oral sustained release drug delivery systems.

Postscript 1.1. 2015

The recent repeated killings of young black males (YBMs) in several American states, like Missouri, New York, Ohio, and California -almost all of them unarmed, except in Berkeley, Missouri, where police claims that the YBM pointed a gun at the policeman, before the latter fired on him and killed him (very unlikely, as that YBM was not found to have fired any shots at the policeman.  The gun may have been planted after the killing)-and the Grand Juries’ decisions not to even indict the killer cops, have sparked nationwide protests by the Blacks and their supporters, against such monstrous classist-racist injustices.  Blacks and their supporters are focusing on a single issue in these cases, that is, the racist police brutality and killings of Blacks with impunity. However, it is essential to also place these within the context of  political economy of the interactions of racism and classism in this society, and identify and understand the precise causes that are created by these interactions, which produce all the various classist and racist institutions, including those of the law enforcement agencies and the police departments.  The police departments are not alone in inflicting monstrous injustices and atrocities on the Blacks and other minorities, even though, these become glaring and become widely publicized, because of their very nature, and the large scale protests that these provoke among the victimized and oppressed communities in the country.  Incomparably larger numbers of professional, economic, and judicial injustices and atrocities are committed against the Blacks and other minorities by almost all the various public, private, government, judicial, and other institutions, also with impunity, in most cases.  This report concretely documents and analyzes the nature and causes of these sinister problems in this sinister classist and racist political economy, system, and society, illustrating these with specific examples of the USDA, EEOC, USDOJ, and the Federal Court system. 

Single issue foci cannot even make a dent, much less solve these colossal and complex problems.  Only when the single and individual issues and problems are comprehended in their accurate politico-economic and social context, the discovery of their real meanings, nature, causes, and solutions becomes possible. The powers-that-be and the status quo want to prevent this from happening at all costs, as their continued domination and control depend on the continuation of fragmentations and mutilations of and disconnections between various parts of reality, problems, and issues.  The single-issue approaches play right into their hands.

Blacks and other minorities are facing huge problems of multidimensional oppression, repression, discrimination, impoverishment, and criminalization in the classist-racist politico-economic structure of this society, as well as betrayal by the organizations and leaders that claim to represent their interests.  When these organizations and leaders are allowed to cross the class barriers and become part of the upper economic classes, they melt into that class structure and, both consciously and unconsciously, strive to preserve that classist status quo.  By doing that, objectively, they end up also preserving the racist status quo, whether they realize it or not.

At this stage of the developments, it is essential for the minorities to create new organizations, new leadership, new unities, new programs, new strategies and tactics, new strength and vigor-all on the basis of new insights, knowledge, and understanding of the classist and racist politico-economic structure, which objectively generates all the problems, issues, causes, and effects and that are then reflected, on the subjective level, in the mass psychologies and cultures of various institutions, as well as in the mass psychologies and cultures of various classes and races, in this society.                     

End of Postscript 1.1.2015

The following report was written on May 19, 1999, and copies were sent to the USDA and EEOC, which made them even more viciously hostile towards me.  I was forced to leave the US for a few years, but returned because of the US and NATO invasion of Afghanistan and related civil war and other conflicts on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, where I had moved to.  On my return, the racist, politico-economic, and philosophical discriminatory destruction of my career continued unabated.  Not a finger was lifted to help me in my struggle for justice and fairness against the cross-institutional networks of the powerful giant bureaucracies of USDA, USDOJ, EEOC, and the Federal court system, the various officials of which collaborated with each other in a clone-like fashion.  I have added those experiences under “2013 additions to the report”, at the end of the 1999 Report, on pages 63 to 112.

The politico-economic and racist oppression and exclusion of and discrimination against the minorities, under the administration of the first so-called Black President of the US, Barack  Obama, not only continues unabated, but has actually worsened and increased.
USDA was forced into $3.5 billion settlements with hundreds of thousands of minority farmer for decades of discriminatory practices against them.  More details can be found under Item Numbers 4, 5, and 7 at the end of this report.

I feel as if I have landed on a Planet of the Demons.  Only the most wicked and evil demons can do what has been done to me here, in the “Home of the Brave”, and “Land of the Free”.  My own personal experience is a miniscule part of this country’s long diabolical history of genocides-starting with that of the Native Americans and theft of their whole country-, slavery of and discrimination against the Blacks and other minorities, constant invasions and robbery of the resources of numerous Third World countries-most recently of Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya-, plunder of the resources of other nations through neocolonialism, globalization of classist and racist injustice and inequality, and transformation of Homo sapiens into Homo dollarus in its own territory, as well as globally.

One of the  fundamental causes of this demonic reality is the mass slavery to totalitarian capital and capitalism and, in the state of extreme alienation and reification, experiencing it as freedom, when, in fact, the whole individual being-mind, body, and soul-as well as the whole social being, are engulfed and regulated by the totalitarian capital.  Mass and individual human mental apparatus in such conditions becomes a reflection of the relations of capital and things and their alienated and alienating powers.  There is very little, if any, free and unalienated and unreified space left there.  The more developed capitalism is in a given society, the more predominant and engulfing this particular type of slavery is in that society.

Objectives. During puberty, important somatic changes that alter body composition take place. In girls, the production of ovarian estrogen generates an important metabolic change. The objective of the present paper is to analyze the differences in body composition among pre and post-menarche girls of the same chronological age, studying the variations with different methodologies. Material and methods. The representative sample was composed of 249 schoolgirls, aged 12-13 years, who studied in "Tres Cantos" (Madrid). Two groups were formed with and without menarche (160 and 89). Body composition has been analyzed, using different methodologies: anthropometry and tetrapolar bioelectrical impedance. Population belongs to middle and upper middle class and there are no differences attributable to socioeconomic situation. Results. The analysis shows significant differences in weight and height between pre or postmenarche girls, 41.2 ± 4.6 Kg versus 52.0 ± 6.6 Kg and 154.7 ± 6.4 cm versus 161.7 ± 5.4. According to Cole classification, both groups show a normal level of BMI, but the BMI of menarche girls was 19.89 ± 2.0 while that of no menarche girls was 17.21 ± 1.9. Body composition shows dramatically differences, the fat percentage was 13.8 ± 2.7 and 22.6 ± 5.9 in pre and post-menarche girls, with a decline of body water at the same age, water percentage being 64.7 ± 3.0 in premenarche subjects versus 57.7 ± 4.4 in those with menarche. Conclusions. The use of biological instead of chronological age is more useful in morphological studies and classifications among the pubertal stage population. The present study shows good correlation between the anthropometric method and bioimpedance to determine fat body composition.

A reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the simultaneous estimation of amlodipine and metoprolol in marketed formulation is developed. The determination was carried out on a Kromasil C18 (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 µm) column using a mobile phase of 0.02 M phosphate buffer solution: acetonitrile (70:30v/v, pH 3.0). The flow rate was 1.0ml/min with detection at 221 nm. The retention time for amlodipine was 2.57 min and for metoprolol 4.49 min. Amlodipine and metoprolol showed a linear response in the concentration range of 10-110 µg/ml. The correlation co-efficient ('r' value) for amlodipine and metoprolol was 0.9991 and 0.9992, respectively. The results of analysis have been validated statistically and by recovery studies. The percentage recoveries obtained for amlodipine and metoprolol ranges from 100.04 to 100.57%.

ricardo Basbaum nesta conversa, é importante tentar produzir um sentido para o projeto como um todo, já que os eventos de re-projetando (utrecht) já ocorreram. e a partir de agora também podemos contar com o diagrama do projeto, que nos ajudará nesta tarefa, uma vez que essa composição de imagens e palavras nos leva a criar a impressão de conexão entre os 9 eventos do projeto. gostaria de enfatizar que os eventos não foram planejados ou concebidos a partir da necessidade de que exista uma ligação direta, literal, entre eles: as escolhas que definiram cada um dos eventos e seus participantes foram feitas a partir de vários aspectos simultâneos, sendo que por todo o tempo houve a crença -e o investimento -de que certa modalidade de construção do evento tornaria possível que o grupo de propostas enfim funcionasse em conjunto. assim, a ambição deste momento (conversa, mesa-redonda) é construir algum tipo de narrativa ou fluxo que possa, generosamente, constituir o roteiro de alguma trama interessante, isto é, séries de problematizações rítmicas que funcionem como a pulsação de re-projetando (utrecht) (em particular) e da série re-projetando (em geral).

Brasilia is recognized for its exceptional modernist architecture and urbanism, as well as for the socioeconomic segregation represented by the satellite cities. Its metropolitan area has more than three million inhabitants, of which 90% live outside the limits of the planned city. This ambiguity is evident in the cinema, since on the one hand, the films produced for the advertisement of Brasilia explored its breadth, monumentality, and plasticity, and on the other hand, the ones made by the first generation of filmmakers born in the city reveal another Brasilia. This article will explore the tensions resulting from this socio-spatial segregation that are materialized in the constructed space and in Brasilia’s representation in cinema.

Soil salinity limits plant growth, reduces crop productivity and degrades soil. Multispectral data from Landsat TM are used to study saline soils in southern Tunisia. This study will explore the potential multivariate statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis to identify the most correlated spectral indices and rapidly predict salt affected soils. Sixty six soil samples were collected for ground truth data in the investigated region. A high correlation was found between electrical conductivity and the spectral indices from near infrared and shortwave infrared spectrum. Different spectral indices were used from spectral bands of Landsat data. Statistical correlation between ground measurements of Electrical Conductivity (EC), spectral indices and Landsat original bands showed that the near and shortwave infrared bands (band 4, band 5 and 7) and the salinity indices (SI 5 and SI 9) have the highest correlation with EC. The use of CA revealed a strong correlation between electrical conductivity EC and spectral indices such abs4, abs5, abs7 and si5. The principal components analysis is conducted by incorporating the reflectance bands and spectral salinity indices from the remote sensing data. The first principal component has large positive associations with bands from the visible domain and salinity indices derived from these bands, while second principal component is strongly correlated with spectral indices from NIR and SWIR. Overall, it was found that the electrical conductivity EC is highly correlated (R 2 = −0.72) to the second principal component (PC2), but no correlation is observed between EC and the first principal component (PC1). This suggests that the second component can be used as an explanatory variable for predicting EC. Based on these results and combining the spectral indices (PC2 and abs B4) into a regression analysis, model

O artigo formula algumas hipóteses para a análise da obra tardia de Samuel Beckett, particularmente as peças para televisão, produzidas pela Süddeutscher Rundfunk – SDR (hoje: Südwestrundfunk – SWR), sob direção do autor, entre 1966 e 1986: Eh Joe, Geistertrio, ..nur noch Gewölk..., Quadrat I + II, Nacht und Träume e Was Wo1 . Sugere-se a abordagem das peças por meio de duas questões – o desenvolvimento tecnológico dos meios de produção e a historicidade dos gêneros artísticos – que teriam suas referências teóricas na reflexão estética de Theodor W. Adorno e Walter Benjamin. Segundo essa perspectiva, as peças para televisão retomam o questionamento das convenções dos gêneros literários, iniciado por Beckett nos trabalhos em prosa e nas peças teatrais, ao desenvolver um novo meio de produção artístico junto à televisão pública alemã

A relação de mais de duas décadas entre o filósofo Vilém Flusser e a Bienal de São Paulo, documentada por meio de sua correspondência, arquivada na Escola Superior de Arte e Mídia de Colônia (na Alemanha), pode nos oferecer uma idéia bastante abrangente do engajamento cultural e da forma de exercer a filosofia desse intelectual polêmico e ousado no seu estilo de pensar, falar e escrever sobre temas que, segundo ele, estavam remodelando toda a história do Ocidente.

Referring to Bernard of Clairvaux’s famous letter in which he denounced the ornamented art of his time, Lilian M. C. Randall lists three characteristics of motifs typical for later Gothic marginalia: as ornaments they are too extravagant, they have distractive infl uence, and this is all the more problematic since they have “strong appeal [...] even

A memória precisa de um lugar fixo para se estabelecer? A memória precisa de arquivos para existir? E que tipo de arquivos? Embora se possa dizer que a memória talvez nunca tenha se definido a partir de um lugar fixo, penso que o próprio estabelecimento do conceito enquanto tal é marcado pela ideia de um lugar, de um registro em que a memória possa ser encontrada. Mesmo quando ela é associada ao imaginário, ou ao que é instável, há uma tensão associada à busca de um local da/para a memória. O propósito desse capítulo é discutir como o uso de metadados, de maneira poética, pode configurar outras lógicas para a criação de memórias culturais em ambientes programáveis. Lógicas que sugerem outros operadores conceituais para delimitar as memórias, que misturam lugares fixos com lugares em rede, invenção e descoberta, políticas e poéticas, memórias culturais e memórias comunicativas. Os metadados são pensados aqui como elementos capazes de operar as passagens indicadas. Para investigar a p...

O texto volta-se para a noção de cânone, de modo a problematizar a narrativa historiográfica da arte e os impasses teórico-metodológicos frente à existência e à consolidação de outras histórias à margem ou incorporadas a essa narrativa. Ao aproximar-se da discussão em âmbito internacional, tendo o Ocidente como articulador de tal questionamento, seu objetivo é confrontar esses pontos com o estudo da historiografia da arte no Brasil. Em um primeiro momento, o termo “cânone” é submetido a uma revisão, para, em seguida, relacioná-lo à “história da arte global” e, por fim, levantar-se alguns pontos a serem considerados numa perspectiva Brasil.

Objectives. This study examines the anthropometric characteristics of the cranial series from the necropolis around the "40 Holy Martyrs" that dates back in the second half of the 13th-14th c. AD, revealing new data about the population of the capital of the second Bulgarian Kingdom. Material and methods. Determination of the morphological characteristics of the studied population was based on craniofacial anthropometry. The measurements were performed using the standard spreading caliper with scale. The analysis is concentrated on the male series. Results and conclusion. Cranial index (mean value-78.25) describes the series as mesocranial, a result supported by the distribution of its values. Brachycranial and hyperbrachycranial skulls represent 23.1 % of the studied population, while dolichocranial ones-15.4 %. The length-height index (M = 73.1, orthocranial) presents a distribution of values with most cases included in the orthocranial rubric (76.9 %). Distribution of high breadth index and correlations with the height, from the porion show high variability. Facial profile is orthognathous (one strongly divergent skull). Faces are relatively broad, considering the mean value of the facial index (84.4, euryprosopic), but its distribution has 44.4 % euryprosopic faces, while in 22.2 % of the cases the length prevails (determining leptoprosopic faces). The use of the Virchow's method increases the proportion of faces for which the height is predominant. The latter results are confronted with those obtained for the upper face height. Orbital index describes the series as mesoconch, nasal index divides it equally between the chamaerrhine (broad nose) and leptorrhine (narrow nose) categories. Scarce data existing for the females point to a rather homogenous structure of the series.

This paper assesses the changes in forest cover in Yok Don National Park of Vietnam between 2004 and 2010, and the implications of such changes on the biomass stocks of this national park. Remote sensing and GIS tools along with the ground truth data collected from the field were employed for classifying the forest types of the study area from SPOT HRV satellite imagery for years 2004 and 2010. The total area considered in this study is 115.5 thousand ha. Five different categories of forests were identified. The results demonstrated that between 2004 and 2010, the Evergreen broad leaved rich quality forest decreased by 11.2 thousand ha (3.5 Mega tons of biomass) and the Dry open dipterocarps medium quality forest decreased by 15.3 thousand ha (2.5 Mega tons of biomass). In that time period, the Evergreen broad leaved medium quality forest increased by 3.2 thousand ha (0.8 Mega tons of biomass), the Evergreen broad leaved poor quality forest increased by 2.5 thousand ha (0.24 Mega to...

Pretendo apresentar neste trabalho alguns aspectos da percepção quando esta envolve obras no uso de tecnologias emergentes, tanto para o fazer artístico, como na relação de fruição da obra. Para isto, trago conceitos de modos interativos, bem como multissensoriais, sinestésicos e pseudo sinestésicos. Observo uma problemática sobre a acepção da obra de arte, dentro desta situação poética, em especial quando ela compõe elementos lúdicos, assim como outros elementos de caráter de entretenimento. Encontro apoio para compreender esta problemática, que é de natureza transdisciplinar, em fundamentos de ordem multidisciplinar. Tento, neste discurso, apontar respostas objetivas, embora hipotéticas, uma vez que se referem a uma pesquisa em andamento. Para isto, abordo as relações entre estas figuras, sejam elas a obra, o artista e o interator. Elenco possíveis razões sistêmicas, semióticas e neurocientíficas para um tipo de aproximação entre estas partes que, desde já, coloco como imbricadas....

traçado, e esse traçado aparece ligeiramente deslocado em relação ao primeiro cubo. O desenho, como eu disse, é algo externo ao objeto, mas o objeto só aparece ao observador na medida em que for refazendo, ou atualizando, esse desenho, ou projeto. É uma questão estrutural, que permaneceu forte em meu trabalho. As figuras e o espaço narrativo foram aos poucos desaparecendo. Em todo caso, na década de 60 há, em minha produção, um raciocínio material, físico, construtivo, que convive com um suporte narrativo. Parece haver, já em sua produção desse período, uma polaridade entre o desenho (ou aquilo que o desenho tem de projetualidade, e, por conseqüência, de profundidade), a narrativa e a exigência da presença, a afirmação da fisicalidade e da dimensão objetual dos trabalhos. De fato, minha produção viveu dessas contradições até os anos 70. Nas pinturas, por exemplo, há uma preocupação com a figura, mas também com uma questão estrutural, de ordem construtiva, e era comum que eu sobrepusesse às superfícies (eventualmente trazendo figuras) algum outro material, dando aos trabalhos um caráter de montagem, construção. Mesmo quando os trabalhos se referiam a elementos orgânicos, esses eram desnaturalizados, esvaziados de sua carga semântica de tipo emotivo, sentimental, e subordinados a uma lógica construtiva, auto-suficiente.

A artista marroquina Majida Khattari utiliza a fotografia, as instalações e os desfiles de moda como uma provocação/reflexão sobre o papel do véu no universo muçulmano e no imaginário ocidental. Na série de fotografias denominada Orientalismes, a artista recria os quadros de Delacroix de uma forma subversiva. A relação com a obra do pintor ultrapassa a mera questão temática e pode ser aprofundada. Paul Jamot, ao falar da obra de Delacroix na Documents nº 5, de 1930, diz que qualquer tema, nas mãos do artista, converte-se numa forma de revelação e numa visão trágica, tanto nos gestos desesperados de homens em luta, como na aparente lassidão das jovens cativas. O uso das imagens orientalistas de Delacroix, por Majida Khattari, absorve o sentido trágico e absorve ainda a ideia da imagem como meio de eternizar e universalizar gestos quotidianos. Os véus que, na sua obra, escondem e desvelam, funcionam como mecanismos que tornam visível o que se quer ocultar. Este é o procedimento utiliz...

Este artigo situa Jackson Pollock, uma das figuras mais importantes do Expressionismo Abstrato, no quadro do debate, caraterístico dos anos 1950 e 1960, sobre a relação entre arte e vida. Analiso, nesse contexto, os limites da crítica face a um pintor que nos deixou inúmeros testemunhos sobre o papel do inconsciente no seu processo criativo. Qual o lugar reservado pela crítica, à época, para essa via de interpretação? Procurando responder a essa questão, o artigo põe em confronto as diversas perspectivas dos críticos e relaciona-as com a reflexão de Pollock sobre si mesmo.

Hito Steyerl é artista, cineasta, escritora e professora de novas mídias na Universidade de Artes de Berlim. Sua produção investiga a circulação de imagens e informação digitais na contemporaneidade, refletindo criticamente acerca do mundo globalizado e suas perversidades. Com Arte “Duty Free”: Arte na Era da Guerra Civil Planetária (em tradução livre), Steyerl aborda, em quinze capítulos, questões fundamentais que orbitam a função da arte e suas contradições no século XXI, o que fica evidenciado no próprio título da obra: “duty free” é o paraíso sem impostos dos aeroportos e também uma liberação de dado dever da arte, seja ele político, moral, social ou qualquer outro. Arte “Duty Free” foi publicado em inglês em 2017 pela editora Verso.

ABSTRAK Ide penciptaan karya ini berupa perancangan Iklan Layanan Masyarakat (ILM) yang mengungkapkan tentang 'kebiasaan' orangtua yang tak sadar membuat jarak dengan anaknya. Media yang digunakan adalah poster yang disesuaikan dengan target audience, yakni ibu muda yang berada di kota-kota besar/metropolitan, dari kalangan menegah ke atas dan memiliki waktu luang namun kurang peka terhadap anaknya. Dengan menggunakan teknik fotografi 'good eye' yang memiliki kesan realis dan konsep black white agar lebih dapat menonjolkan ajakan bagi ibu untuk tetap sadar akan ikatan emosional langsung dengan anak. Dengan model komunikasi AIDCA: (Attention) (Interest) (Desire) (Conviction (Action) maka perancangan ini diharapkan mampu menyasar audience dengan cara yang tepat. Penggunaan Teori Hegemoni Gramsci diambil guna menyadarkan otoritas orang tua sebagai sarana kultural maupun ideologis dalam berkomunikasi dengan anak, karena munculnya fenomena pengabaian terhadap anak, sehingga aspek komunikasi tidak berfungsi secara maksimal atas perilakunya terhadap anak yang berakibat ikatan emosional dengan anak berkurang.
