“…Four animated films were analyzed in the light of Thomas S. Kuhn's epistemology (Kuhn, 2013): "How to Train Your Dragon" (Arnold et al, 2010), "The Croods" (Belson et al, 2013); "Inside Out" (Rivera et al, 2015) and "Monsters, Inc." (Anderson, et al 2001). We searched in the films the presence of normal science and its respective paradigm, occurrence of research and extraordinary procedures and consequent scientific revolution and a new paradigm.…”

“…However, we know that films will never completely show these aspects, and due to that we sought to analyze the converging aspects of the following films: "How to Train Your Dragon" (Arnold et al, 2010), "The Croods" (Belson et al, 2013), "Inside Out" (Rivera et al, 2015) and "Monsters, Inc." (Anderson, et al 2001) and the work "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Kuhn (2013), reminding that, according to Albert Einstein "imagination is more important than knowledge" (Einstein, 1929).…”

Dragons, Monsters, Emotions, Cavemen and Kuhn’s Epistemology: Scientific Revolutions in Films

Background: There have been many discussions on the importance of teaching philosophy of science in schools, and the need of a teaching focused on the science process, seeking to remedy deformed views that distance children from scientific life. Kuhn is undoubtedly the science philosopher most debated in history and his work "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" has significant potential to construct proper views of the scientist in primary education. Films are important pedagogic tools to transmit concepts and ideas in a rich and engaging way. Objectives: The present work identified the presence of Kuhn ideas in four animated films and the competences of science procedures in their characters. Design: We selected the films "How to Train Your Dragon", "The Croods", "Inside Out" and "Monsters, Inc.". Within those, we seek for paradigms, paradigm shifts, scientific revolutions, and the competences for scientific investigation on the characters. Setting and Participants: This is a theoretical analysis, and therefore does not have participants. The materials used were only bibliographic sources. Data collection and analysis: We used ten scientific competences and made a philosophical reflection of Kuhn's theory in the films. Results: The analysis reveals the occurrence of normal science, recognized anomalies, extraordinary science and break of paradigms in all those films. In addition, we identified the competences of science procedures of the characters. Conclusions: The films make an artistic representation of situations where Kuhn concepts and the scientific competences can be taught in a clear and significant way.

No pain, no gains: Negative mood leads to process gains in idea-generation groups.

Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice

Research has consistently demonstrated that individuals tend to outperform groups on idea-generation tasks (e.g., Mullen, Johnson, & Salas, 1991). However, mood states have the capacity to alter the coordination and motivation of group members, leading to performance gains or performance losses. In this experiment, individuals and 3-person groups generated slogans for a fictitious company after experiencing a positive or negative mood induction. Contrary to previous research, negative mood groups in our study actually generated slogans that were more creative than those produced by negative mood individuals. No differences emerged for positive individuals and groups. In the negative conditions, the effect of level of analysis (individual vs. group) on creativity was mediated by persistence on the slogan-generation task. Results are presented in the context of feelings-as-information (N. Schwarz & G. L. Clore, 1988).

Comparative analysis of kinetic typography elements in movie title sequence

Typography, usually closely related to printed media, has now been explored in digital media. These changes make typography, which is usually static, more dynamic. One example of digital typography is kinetic typography. Typography's position as a medium of visual and textual communication becomes more interesting because the element of motion in kinetic typography adds another meaning value. This study examines how typography reveals meaning in time-based media formats. In this study, three movie title sequences with different genres will be analyzed: Monsters Inc., Se7en, and Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol. The film was chosen because it has a dominant kinetic typography structure and has a good reputation in terms of visuals. The method of analysis is carried out by comparing the structure of the three title sequences based on the kinetic typography theory by Bellantoni and Woolman. Furthermore, an analysis of the semantic value of each title sequence was also carried out. This research is aimed to figure out the elements used in the visual creation of a title sequence and how these elements can construct meaning. From the analysis process it is known that each genre of the title sequence has different element variations which of course have their own meaning. The results of this study are expected to provide recommendations for the title sequence design method based on the genre like comedy animation, thriller, and action.
