Magic MountainAl-Hadid, Diana 01 January 2005 (has links)
My installations are propositions for an imaginary world that relies on its own internal logic, a world of believability without recognition. While the work references landscape it also emphasizes its contrivance, as it is automatically estranged in an "unnatural" gallery setting. I subvert or de-familiarize the materials and processes that I use in the service of creating a fictitious environment. My places are impossible places. They are irregular, illogical, and unstable. Our imagination can be one of most dangerous things to psychological stability as it is an inventory of all things possible, no matter how irrational or improbable. The irrational is always an option, a lingering threat. The imagination seems to hate permissions and limitations, but is nevertheless lodged within them. I want to create a sense of nonsensical logic. If all things that can be imagined are logical possibilities, I want to find the place where fantasy seems to be just barely reality. If I can't have an inherent contradiction, I'll take an apparent one.

[en] DÉBUT DE SIÈCLE: LIFE AND HISTORY IN THE MAGIC MONTAIN, MRS. DALLOWAY AND TIME REGAINED / [pt] DÉBUT DE SIÈCLE: VIDA E HISTÓRIA EM A MONTANHA MÁGICA, MRS. DALLOWAY E O TEMPO RECUPERADOJONAS THOBIAS DA SILVA DIAS MARTINI 11 May 2021 (has links)
[pt] Esta dissertação se dedica a analisar os romances A montanha mágica de Thomas Mann, Mrs. Dalloway de Virginia Woolf, e O tempo recuperado de Marcel Proust, em relação aos momentos históricos da Primeira Guerra Mundial (1914-1918), que integra as suas narrativas, e do pós-Grande Guerra, quando os referidos volumes foram publicados – respectivamente em 1924, 1925 e 1927. Ela contém a hipótese de que esses textos não apenas participam do início de uma inflexão inesperada da ideia de progresso da História tal como vinha sendo delineada, sobretudo, entre os séculos XVIII e XIX e posta em questão a partir da guerra, como sobre ela produzem efeitos de ultrapassagem através da capacidade narrativa, entendida, por sua vez e de diferentes maneiras, como sinônimo de vida. Diante da amplitude possibilitada pela literatura ficcional, a seguinte investigação propõe uma consideração das noções de Vida e de História presentes nas obras selecionadas não apenas para estudar um período histórico de mudanças nas concepções das mesmas como também para provocar as narrativas do presente. / [en] This dissertation analyzes the novels The magic mountain by Thomas Mann, Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, and Time regained by Marcel Proust, linked to the historical moments of the First World War (1914-1918), which integrates its narratives, and of the post-Great War, when these volumes were published – respectively in 1924, 1925 and 1927. It contains the hypothesis that these texts participate in an inflection of the idea of Historical progress as it had been outlined, above all, between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and they overtake this inflexion by the narrative capacity, understood as a synonym of life. Given the breadth made possible by fictional literature, the investigation proposes a consideration of the notions of Life and History present in the works not only to study a historic period of changes in their conceptions but also to provoke the narratives of the present.
