Dance as Literary Criticism: Literary Analysis and Dramaturgy in a Dance Theatre Choreographic Process

Winchester, Rachel 29 September 2014 (has links)
In my research into interdisciplinary choreographic processes, I found there to be a lacking representation of recent scholarship dedicated to exploring the relationship between literature and dance. As a dance theatre choreographer who often utilizes textual sources as impetuses for artistic creation, I have employed methods of traditional dramaturgy in my practice and, in seeking scholarship on this subject, have noted a need for clear examples of dance dramaturgy in practice. In this thesis study, I employed methods from literary studies and dramaturgy in the process of adapting a work of short fiction by Kurt Vonnegut for the stage. I documented my process and have structured the information for the benefit of those who may read it. The artistic product of this research was presented to an audience in direct relation to its literary source. At the conclusion of this research, I posit that dance can function as literary criticism.

CONSTRUCTION OF FINITE GROUP

Yeo, Michelle SoYeong 01 December 2017 (has links)
The main goal of this project is to present my investigation of finite images of the progenitor 2^(*n) : N for various N and several values of n. We construct each image by using the technique of double coset enumeration and give a proof of the isomorphism type of the image. We obtain the group 7^2: D_6 as a homomorphic image of the progenitor 2^(*14) : D_14, we obtain the group 2^4 : (5 : 4) as a homomorphic image of the progenitor 2^(*5) : (5 : 4), we obtain the group (10 x10) : ((3 x 4) : 2) as a homomorphic image of the progenitor 2^(*15) : (15x4), we obtain the group PGL(2; 7) as a homomorphic image of the progenitor 2^7 : D_14, we obtain the group S_6 as a homomorphic image of the progenitor 2^5 : (5 : 4), and we obtain the group S_7 as a homomorphic image of the progenitor 2^(*15) : (15 : 4). Also, have given some unsuccessful progenitors.

Ut pictura thesis. : Thème et variations pour figures peintes. Atelier, peinture, scène totale / Ut pictura thesis : Theme and variations for painted figures Studio, painting, total scene

Ile, Michael Christian 21 October 2011 (has links)
Comment mettre en représentation une thèse de doctorat ? L’objet de la thèse sera le doctorat-même. Sa mise en peinture, la picturalité d’un doctorat. Quel peut être le visage d’une thèse ? Au lieu d’attendre qu’un sujet de recherche vienne dans l’atelier de l’université, comme une idée qui procéderait de loin, je me suis dit que sous mes yeux, se trouvait, peut-être, la possibilité d’une scène totale. À partir d’objets qui entourent les séminaires de recherche, ainsi que les ateliers de mes pratiques picturales, à partir d’un imaginaire et d’une réalité très concrète, entamer une exploration vaste, ayant comme support la peinture. Ou comment figurer, comment mettre en représentation la scène doctorale par la figuration, tout en proposant une plasticité constante ? Plus généralement, quelles sont les conditions de naissance d’un monde de peinture ? C’est, en quelque sorte, la manière dont la forme peinte advient, au fur et à mesure de son avancée dans les toiles. Par trois approches différentes, il y aura successivement un regard sur la peinture comme sédimentation. Il y aura les articulations de la peinture dans notre espace de recherche, la venue au monde d’un atelier à travers un thème et ses variations. Et finalement, comme la mise en représentation d’une scène totale. L’atelier, printemps et apothéose d’un parcours pictural, sera ici exploré, décrit, tel un espace accompagné d’un rythme majeur dominant, rythme dont résultent toutes les formes tracées par le pinceau. Au bout de cette traversée, il n’y a pas seulement l’odyssée d’un atelier qui est mis en représentation, il y a la mise en peinture de la recherche-même. Ici, la thèse est comme la peinture, elle devient peinture. Ut pictura thesis. Le doctorat, ses visages, ses peintures, ses images. / How to represent a thesis, a doctorate dissertation? The object of the thesis is the doctorate itself. The subject of the thesis is the doctorate itself, its representation in painted form. What could be the face of a doctorate thesis ? Instead of waiting for a research subject – an idea to come into shape, whilst researching in my studio at the university, I told myself that perhaps right in front of my eyes was laid the possibility of a “total scene”. From the objects which are surrounding the research seminars, as well as the studios of my pictorial practices, from an imaginary and a concrete reality, I began a vast exploration, having the painting medium as support. In other words, how to represent the doctoral scene through figurative depiction, whilst developing a constant material dimension ? Further more, what are the circumstances of the painting process coming into the world ? It is,somehow, the way that a painted form occurs and evolves and develops, how and when the mental projection becomes reality on canvas. There will be three different and successive approaches: there will first be a look on the painting as sedimentation. There will be the articulations of the painting in our research space, the birth of a studio through a theme and its variations. And finally, the painting as a representation of a “total scene”. The studio, spring and apotheosis of a pictorial course, will be here explored and described, like a space accompanied by a major dominant rhythm, a rhythm form which all the forms drawn by the paintbrush originate. At the end of this tour, one can find not only (or there is not only) the odyssey of a studio set into representation, but also of the research itself captured in a painted form. The thesis is like the painting, the thesis becomes the painting. Ut pictura thesis. The doctorate, its faces, its paintings, its images.

Wireless Security, a practical guide

Gjercek, Albin, Andersson, Alexander January 2012 (has links)
Wireless networks are continuing to grow around the world due to the advantages it offers and all the different services that it provides. In networking environments where the communication goes through a wireless connection, the importance of protecting the private information is a very significant task for network administrators. Beside the great benefits from having this type of network, the major issue of wireless communications is the weak security it provides. Companies and business organizations are more and more involved with the use of wireless networks because of the flexibility, mobility and the scalability it offers, but they are also concerned about the consequences of having a weaker security to protect their expensive investments and information. This thesis discusses the issues behind the security of wireless networks. It explains the background of the wireless networks and describes how the different security algorithms and encryptions work. The authors of this thesis decided to present some of the possible attacks that could occur in wireless networks and also give some security solutions to help others protect their network. The group that worked together on this project had the idea of investigating how secure the actual wireless algorithms and encryptions are. The approach of finding the necessary information for presenting the results and conclusions was to perform penetration tests on wireless networks that were implemented with the three famous security algorithms of WEP, WPA and WPA2. The penetrations tests were performed in lab environments and in home networks with the use of cracking tools. The group used the open source Linux based distribution called BackTrack 5. This operating system provided the group the different cracking tools that would help them perform their investigation. The purpose of performing the penetration tests was to find out the vulnerabilities that each of the security algorithms poses and therefore be able to determine which of them offers the best protection to a wireless network. After the penetration tests were done, the group came up with some solutions by configuring a wireless network with the strongest security options. The solutions were aimed to help others how to configure a specific wireless network in a simple but effective way. The results indicated that the weakest security algorithm would present some major issues for a wireless network. It included a greater possibility of experiencing different network attacks by configuring a wireless network with a weak security algorithm. Overall, this thesis provided the group the necessary information that was beneficial for them to understand how strong a wireless network actually is, and how a penetration test was performed.
