  • Tripoli international fair between out-of-place/in-place : a Utopian nonbeing : emerging voices : a dialogue with Niemeyer 
    Al Baba, Rana A. (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2018-06)
    Place is a word that speaks for itself - a concept both simple and complicated that allows the cultural elite to savour city's life. We can see many manifestations of a certain place; it is what we call "place of memory", where participating in certain activities expresses the spirit of such places. Place and memory intersect together so that every place has a memory, and each memory is related within a place. Memory and its representations touch very significantly upon questions of identity, nationalism, power and authority. This is what Tim Cresswell (2004) discussed fully in his introduction ...
  • Uncovering acholi classical past : investigating design interpretation of acholi ethnic visual designs

    I have read in Aidoo’s Dilemma of a Ghost that it is sometimes assumed by the west that Africans were incapable of coherent reasoning.

I hope, through this little work that scholars of other academic ...

    My dissertation explores the influential power of visual culture in reforming how we aesthetically behave with relation to contemporary television images. This influence depends on psychological and cultural structures that are linked to the television imagery, and more precisely to visually disturbing images. The approach to this question aims at examining a new aesthetic generated by the means of its television persona. I intend to tackle this by, first, drawing on the meaning of the weird and strange imagery that underlies the new aesthetic. Second, to recognize the new aesthetic tangible ...
  • Virtual reality in education 
    Narch, Nabil (Notre Dame University-Louaize, 2019-02)
    The term ‘Serious Games’ was coined to reflect the dual nature of games that exceeds entertainment purposes to provide some kind of educational value. Alternative terms have been used such as ‘Game-based Learning’ and ‘Gamification’. Educational children game apps in the Arab world are abundant, most of which are language learning apps. There seems to be an almost non-existent presence to the game apps that provide cultural context to the children beyond learning languages. In this thesis, we present a conceptual framework to gamifying Lebanese culture. We describe the process of gamification, ...
