المستخلص: تؤمن العقلانية التطبيقية بتحاور مناهج فلسفية عدة ؛ اذ تسعى الى المصالحة بالتركيب العاطفي بين الاضداد ؛ اي التاليف والتركيب بين التناقضات الميتافيزيقية ( ميتافيزياء العقل وميتافيزياء الواقع ) منطلقة من ثنائية لا من وحدة ؛ فهي فلسفة الرفض الذي يعني الاحتوا | Applied rationalism believes in the dialogue of several philosophical methodologies. It seeks to reconciliation through the sentimental composition between opposites ; which means the authorship and composition between metaphysical contradictions ( metaphysicality of the reason and metaphysicality of reality ) originating from duality and not oneness. It is the philosophy of rejection which means containments , i.e. it is dialectical and undialectical. Applied rationalism with its movement from thought to reality is an open philosophy which believes in selective methodology and objective criteria via a wide system of criteria. The study of art and aesthetic as all philosophical researches is subjected to a framework of mind which specifies the affiliation , thus we have dealt in this research with the study of applied rationalism in contemporary plastic arts since we believe in this rationalism which starts from instantaneous time , and then a philosophy for action and after that a comprehensive methodology with a philosophy of creative construction which does not stop. This means that it is described as a doctrine in giving births by adopting phenomenology and psycho analysis in each of the two contradicting fields ( science and art ) which seek authorship and composition between them.The study consists of four chapters. The first chapter takes interest in the methodological framework of the research. The problem of the research starts from the enquiry concerning ( what is the explanation of the dialectical relationship between scientific thought as specified incident and the imaginative , poetic , dreaming and meditative incidents which can formulate a plastic art ). Its hypothesis is represented by ( irrationality of postmodern art is an applied rationalism ). The research aims at ( established aesthetic and artistic critical vision depending on applied rationalism method and disclosing the mechanisms for the working of applied rationalism in contemporary plastic arts ). The limits of the research consist in studying the Bachelardian applied rationalism and art production in contemporary plastic arts which belongs to artistic movements succeeding world war II in the United States of America and Europe. As well as the methodological framework , the first chapter consists of a presentation and discussion of previous studies related to the research subject.Chapter two sets to undertake the theoretical framework of the study and consists of two sections. The first section is concerned with the study of rationalism and its transformation from abstraction of mind to abstraction in performance theorizing , and dealt with : rationality , experiential rationalism and applied rationalism. The second section deals with the transformative of Bachelardian applied rationalism ( Bachelard theory of aesthetic in creative imagination and artistic image ). It is interested in the study of the essence of Bachelard imagination and day dreaming as an imaginative instrument. It also deals with the study of phenomenology of poetic image ( artistic ) by Bachelard from point of its creativity and reception. The second chapter concluded to an aggregation of points which reveal a criticizing , aesthetic and artistic vision according to the methodology of applied rationalism. The third chapter is devoted to the procedures of the research and consists of its community , sample , instrument used , methodology and analysis of sample. As for chapter four , it consists of the research results , conclusions and recommendations. A number of basic results have been reached which achieved the aim of the research , such as : 1. Cotemporary plastic arts are characterized , as existence , by circularity , i.e. round existence ( Phenomenal ). Art departs objective reality and returns back to it. Thus , there is a kind of succession between subjectivity and objectivity. 2. There are epistemological obstacles and obstructions : common sense , generalization , verbality , essentiality and animism. These are the source of unity of artistic work in contemporary plastic arts.3. Contemporary plastic arts perform materialistic imagination and presents it over formal imagination. Materialistic imagination relegates essence and transports it to a case of trope or symbol not abstracted from sense or reality. 4. Poetic day dreaming which is considered an isolation phenomenon and passing psychological case is an instrument of imagination for extracting objectivity in contemporary plastic arts. 5. The contemporary plastic arts are formative not given , i.e. the are facts ( events ).Thus , the artistic image in contemporary plastic arts is posterior not prior and is a neonate of emotional authorship and composition between opposites ( metaphysical contradictions ). 6. Contemporary plastic arts are characterized by openness , i.e. the capability of review and exegesis. They declare the death of the image and realization of form , not as an essence which is unpenetrating but in its description as incomplete and unspecified , i.e. a domain of capabilities.7. Contemporary plastic arts rise as a result of identification of reception and creativity , a continuation between the artist and recipient through a separation , i.e. the artistic image ( origin ) in which the artistic work leans on regarding it as a medium that inspires raw senses ( subject ).The conclusions reached are : 1. The irrationality of postmodern art is applied rationalism , i.e. contemporary plastic arts are considered applied rational.2. Contemporary plastic arts are psychological - epistemological , they conduct a total behavior via construction and authorship between function and structure.

المستخلص: The study deals with one of the modern techniques used in the formation of the metal casting, which include using of local materials in the preparation of typical mixtures without needing for imported ready - made mixtures, which are monopoly of technical secrets to those companies. The first chapter discusses the research problem, which were represented in (to reach a mechanism for the use of ceramic shell technology with standard specifications helps for not to loosing a lot of sculptural details and delicate task during the casting process through the traditional techniques). The importance and objectives of the research are : (1. Obtaining of precise details for works of art that perform the ceramic shell technology, 2. Reach for a scientific data base for technical functioning of these mechanisms and capabilities of local materials) as well as the limits of the search. The second chapter (theoretical framework) includes the first section : a brief history for the using of metals, the second section deals with the metals used in the research (as brunze and aluminum) as well as their types and properties the third section deals with the History of the mechanisms of metal casting in ancient civilizations, which are Mesopotamia, the Nile Valley, the Levant, the Greeks, the Romans, the Islamic civilization and then the Renaissance, after this, asection deals with the metal casting techniques, which divided into two types according to the type of templates : permanent, which include centrifugal plumbing and plumbing by electrical clicking and sedimentation. while non - permanent include the plumbing by sand and lost wax which includes two methods, the first one is the normal thermal template (traditional) and the second method of ceramic shell which is the subject of our research. It was taking four previous studies,two of them were Iraqi and two foreign studies. At the end of this chapter we reach to a theoretical framework indicators. The third chapter deals with the research measures which included the identification of research methodology, the research community, samples. And then the selection of local materials that will be included in research trials which are zircon and silica silicate (sand Erdma), Kaolan (Duekhlh), Filnt Klay, sodium silicate water and Sodium carbonate andresin (c.m.c).After preparation, crushing and screening of the materials according to the granular gradients and chemical analysis to determine their characteristics and components then calcination. Dry materials were calcinied at (600°) to lose its chemical water. After preparation of series of preliminary mixtures in some of them depending on local materials as alternatives to foreign ready mixes and through access to sources, references and the Internet, as well as local experiences. Eight mixtures were succeeded through the stuccoing process of the waxy model ,during the process of drying and burning there is problems such as crucking in the surface of ceramic shell as a result of internal tension and external pressure, as well as the reduction in the hardness of ceramic schell after burning due to the weakness in the linking between the components of materials during high temperature causing their destruction after burning, so that it is necessary to raising calcination temperature to 1000 ? to ensure the disposal of the transformations that will get during the burning process. In addition to the getting rid of plasticity to ensure that no shrinking in the ceramic shell after burning. All failed mixtures were excluded,while the other four mixtures were remained which were : Mixture of silicate zircon, silica (crushed Erdma sand), clay Filnt,caolin with silica (Ardma sand), because of the high coast silicate zircon and not providing in large quantities, as well as to the difficulty of obtaining of Filnt clay despite its presence in abundance in Iraq, it has not been extracted and provided in abundance as a consumer material, as there have been some problems in the use alone, so the researcher find two mixtures from (zircon silicate with silica) and ( Calcinied caolin with calcinied silica).The four mixtures considered the sample of research which include (zircon silicate), (silica), (zircon silicate and silica) and (silica and caolin).Which has been conducting laboratory tests on them. The fourth chapter contained the results of the chemical analysis and the results of physical and mechanical tests and their discussion. Also included the conclusions which reached by the researcher. The results showed the success of the four mixtures in the casting of bronze and aluminum models with maintaining the accuracy of the details and achieve the goals of the research. The mixture (A) preferably used in the casting of mineral sculpture with temperature top of the (1200 ?) due to the cost of silicate zirconium, while the mixture (C) is the better becauseof its potential in metal casting and low coast ratio compared with mixture (A). The mixtures (B, D) preferably used in the casting sculpture as alolminium and lower heat metals. Then the recommendations and suggestions as well as a list of Arabic, english references and web sites for information

المستخلص: The human has the capability of thoughts production and the expression of these thoughts. This attribute make us to be unique between all living creatures to finding communication ways to discover feelings and senses, which is often to guide us to production of thoughts that satisfy the expression that depended on mind level.Our living on earth has forced us to be engaged in communication fostering willingly or forcibly so in reverse to what old theories raise that the pattern broad caster receiver doesn’t man much even thought it has had an importance as receiver broad caster receiver pattern but still not enough explain the communication phenomena.Our character grows and develops based on our traditions and life experiments and based on our culture and environment also. So what we do basically is obtained from previous experiments which we keep turning it to take the new receivers.We have been adopting with moment status based on previous one so.Communication depends on implied patternsWhat is more important is that we behave modestly and react continuously with each other when man is simulatorAs he is a mirror and echo of him mirror of what he sees and saw echo of what he hears and heard.The searcher divided the search to four chapters * first chapters involves the search problem content the flowing questions : 1 - Are the contemporary communication concepts representing a base in pushing the modern art toward the receiving circle?2 - Are the contemporary bearings represents systemic conflicts with nature of aesthetic conceptual communicating?3 - Are the contemporary communication theories representing an approach for building visual system?4 - Are the wares references representing the based in the building of modern textual body?5 - Are the modern textual bodies representing an active more in the rebuilding of the visual systems by removing the references?The targets of the search are : 1 - Revealing the symptomatic communication in the modern art.2 - Revealing the working approaches of the communication pattern in the modern art.The searcher identified the limits of the search spatially in the modern art, and epochal between the years (19_200) then the followed approach in the artists work followed by the determination of the terms that need to be cleared.In the second chapter (theoretical frame) it divided to five studies, the first is involved in the concept of communication in the Gnostic filed and the second represents the lingual communication in the filed of the new criticize studiesThe third study which took the title (symbol and the communication activity) considering that since the first existence the symbol has been found when it is directly contacting the nature and react with it for the enplane of the phenomena and its employment by the enter interpretation of its meanings to obtain the gregarious conditions as human character which cannot be obtained, unless in the presence of idiomatic system in the symbolsThe forth study was specifically for the deliberate and the communication activity addressing in that the deliberate in the lingual field and the visual field and the pattern which is the incubators which the deliberate works when the texts don’t face us separately from it patterns except in the absence or disconnection away from experiment around us or inside as or text or the contact facility is foreign and that is what happens to culture importers when the drop a culture reality peculiar from the actual reality with out a consideration to the local patterns.The fifth study was for the detection of communication in art in which a search in the visual field and the allegory and communicational activity was done.Chapter third (search procedure) represents the procedures used in the collection of the research community with the adoption of applied studies to analyze the simples in accordance with what we have reached from the theoretical from work indicators in building search too.Finally, the four chapter content, conclusions & suggestions and recommendations.

المستخلص: استهدفت الدراسة الكشف عن مضامين الاساطير العراقية والدلالات الرمزية الاسطورية التي استلهمت في النحت العراقي المعاصر. وهي في اربعة فصول خصص الاول منها الى الاطار المنهجي، الذي شمل مشكلة البحث واهميته وحدوده واهدافه، ثم تحديد لاهم المصطلحات فيه. والفصل الث | This study aimed to know and learn about the contemporary Iraqi sculpture Which inspired by Iraqi legends. and to study these sculptural pieces of art.The study contains four chapters : First chapter explains the importance and need for the study and also it's objectives and scope. The researcher define some important expressions and term used in the study. Second chapter consists four sections : Section one studies the concept of the legend and it's causes of emergence and discusses the relation between and superstitions. Section two study Iraqi legend according to historical periods. The researcher here divides it into tow groups : 1 - Ancient legends.2 - Legends before and after Islam.Section three discusses the relation between legend and sculpture, some examples of sculptural pieces of art relating to some important ancient cultures were also mentioned with a brief presentation of the history of Iraqi sculpture and the effect of legend on it. Section four about the contemporary Iraqi sculpture Chapter three begins in collecting information and photographs about Iraqi sculptural pieces of art which are basically inspired by legends after this scanning of the materialistic evidence of the research was done starting with first work finished in 1950 until the end of 1992. The total number of works was 63 pieces created by 12 Iraqi contemporary sculptures. The researcher selected 20 works out of the whole as specimen for study, and the conclusion he reached resemble direct answers to the objectives of the study, and was introduced together with suggestions and recommendations in chapter four. About the first aimed , there are 63 sculpture works inspired by legends, done by 12 Iraqi sculpture. The number of sculpture works inspired by legend of the first group (ancient Iraqi legend) is 48 sculpture works. And there are 13 pieces sculpture works taken from Iraqi legends of the second group most of them taken from the tales of (thousand nights and night). The remainder is two pieces of sculpture works taken from both groups, and they are
