"Aur-Och: The Origins of Speech and Gesture" is the title of a CD ROM-Internet hybrid. It is being developed by PROLARTI: The Project on the Language-Art Interface at Brown University. It aims to offer a solution to three distinct problems in contemporary education: (1) the widening gap between the sciences and humanities in the academy--a problem with theoretical consequences; (2) the subordination of visual data in the study of human behavior, not only in the sciences but, ironically, in the humanities and social sciences, as well--a problem with epistemological consequences; (3) and the rapid growth of content deficient multimedia--a problem with pedagogical consequences. PROLARTI's goals for Aur-Och are theoretical, epistemological and pedagogical. The central theoretical and pedagogical questions around which Aur-Och will be developed are the following: What can we learn about human communication generally by studying speech and gesture together -- communication systems that are visual and verbal, iconic and symbolic? What role does the voice play in communication? What role does the rest of the body play? What role does the body play when the voice does not or cannot play a role? How might the methodologies, data, and theories from the various sciences (social and life) as well as the humanities help us to understand the totality of speech-and-gesture's communicative qualities, their biological necessities, their evolutionary beginnings, their cultural components, their neurological constitution, their aesthetic dimensions? In presenting the material, Aur-Och will exploit the new CD ROM and Internet technologies. Rather than be course specific, it will be modeled as an electronic library of multimedia "tomes". These tomes will consist of open-ended laboratories, tutorialq, classic experiments, texts, lectures, profiles and discussions (debates and dialogues). It is hoped that Aur-Och will appeal to a broad national audience of university/college students and profe ssors as well as to other learning communities. Aur-Och is scheduled for classroom beta-testing in 1998. A final version 1.0 will follow, pending further sponsorship.

“Aur-Och：语音和手势的起源”是一个CD ROM和互联网混合的标题。 它是由PROLARTI开发的：布朗大学的绘画艺术界面项目。 它旨在为当代教育中的三个不同问题提供解决方案：（1）学术界科学与人文之间日益扩大的差距-一个具有理论后果的问题;（2）视觉数据在人类行为研究中的从属地位，不仅在科学中，而且具有讽刺意味的是，在人文和社会科学中也是如此-一个具有认识论后果的问题;（3）内容贫乏的多媒体的迅速发展-一个具有教育后果的问题。 PROLARTI对Aur-Och的目标是理论、认识论和教育学。 围绕Aur-Och将开发的中心理论和教学问题如下：我们可以通过一起研究语音和手势来了解人类交流-视觉和口头，图标和象征性的交流系统？ 语音在沟通中扮演什么角色？ 身体的其他部分扮演什么角色？ 当声音不起作用或不能起作用时，身体起什么作用？ 来自各种科学（社会和生命）以及人文学科的方法论、数据和理论如何帮助我们理解语言和手势的整体交际特性、它们的生物必要性、它们的进化起点、它们的文化成分、它们的神经结构、它们的美学维度？ 在介绍材料时，Aur-Och将利用新的光盘和互联网技术。 它将被模拟成一个多媒体“大部头”的电子图书馆，而不是具体的课程。 这些大部头将包括开放式实验室，tutorialq，经典实验，文本，讲座，简介和讨论（辩论和对话）。 希望Aur-Och能够吸引全国范围内的大学生和教授以及其他学习社区。 Aur-Och计划于1998年进行课堂测试。最终版本1.0将随后发布，等待进一步的赞助。
