Esta investigación nace con la intención de encontrar una manera de estudiar y comprender el teatro en el siglo XXI, con el objetivo de aplicarlo en la formación de actores;el mejor método para enfrentar al reto es con el apoyo de la semiótica, como dice P. Pavis: "la semiología teatral es un método de análisis del texto y/o la representación", nos basamosen los estudios de Kowsan, donde lo primero que plantea es que,el teatro se puede estudiar en dos grandes áreas: lo que se ve y lo que se escucha, esto nos sitúa,para nuestro estudio, desde la isóptica del espectador, el que percibe o ve la dramaturgia escénica; Boves, aludiendo a Kowzan,refiereque en el libro Teatro y Semiología: la clasificación de todos estos lenguajes o sistemas por "la intercambiabilidad de los signos de diferentes sistemas, su ambigüedad, la posibilidad de la expresión simultánea sobre la escena de algunos signos de diferentes sistemas, frente a la sucesividad que impone el signo verbal; e insiste en los problemas de la percepción e interpretación del signo dramático, por la falta de codificación y por la posibilidad de ofrecer varios significantes para un único significado"; la multiplicidad de lenguajes y signos, la posibilidad polisémica entre cada uno de ellos, permite que veamos a todos ellos como los que conforman el universo al que llamaremos escenosfera, término que acuño y utilizo bajo la idea de Lotman, Semiosfera, como el dominio en el que todo sistema sígnico puede funcionar, el espacio en el que se realizan los procesos comunicativos y se producen nuevas informaciones, este espacio es para nosotros el espacio escénico, donde convergen en todos los niveles todos los sistemas que lo conforman. En la escenosferasus límites serán los diferentes lenguajes o sistemas escénicos, teatrales, ellos generan el vasto universo material y simbólico que toma vida en el espacio escénico-ficcional, los cuales, a su vez, crearán las fronteras, como señala Kowzan, refiriéndose a los conjuntos de signos que se generan en cada uno de los sistemas escénicos: "Lo que verdaderamente nos inte

Creating Conditions for Student Success: Social justice perspectives from a South African university, 2021

BACKGROUND TO AND RATIONALE FOR THE PUBLICATION Student success remains one of the intractable challenges for higher education internationally (Kuh, Kinzie, Buckley, Bridges & Hayek 2011; Tinto & Pusser 2006), and even more so in South Africa as universities are struggling with balancing the imperatives of widening access with those of academic success of students (Badat 2010; Boughey 2002; Lewin & Mawoyo 2014; Scott, Yeld & Hendry 2007). At many institutions worldwide various initiatives have been launched to support students and to enhance student success (Kuh et al. 2011; Tinto 2012). This is also true of Stellenbosch University (SU) in South Africa which has invested in several structures, systems and interventions to widen access and enable student success. Two problems remain. Firstly, the effectiveness of these initiatives and the extent to which they actually contribute to student success have not been ascertained through scientific study. Secondly, from a systems perspective, a holistic view of these initia tives is lacking, and at best, piecemeal, anecdotal evidence exists of their value or contribution. The book aims to contribute towards addressing both these gaps by bringing together 15 studies that have been done on different ways that conditions for student success are being created at SU. All of the studies, with one exception (Chapter 13 by Schreiber), were done by master's and doctoral students of the Faculty of Education at SU. 1 All of the authors are staff or alumni of the institution, hence this volume presents 'insider' research on a single institution in the form of case studies. Being both 'insiders' and researchers, the authors wrote from a solid knowledge base of practice, theory and research. 1 The full theses and dissertations of these studies are available on SUNScholar, the SU repository of doctoral dissertations and master's theses.
