The Fabulist

Lawrence, Daniel Sellers 26 June 2018 (has links)
With The Fabulist, I hope to provide many of the pleasures of popular narrative�"addictive plot, compelling characters, immersive setting�"while also conducting an earnest interrogation of the value of fantasy in all its forms, as well as the moral vacuity of the lonely fiefdom the protagonist constructs for himself out of pop cultural detritus and his various nostalgic and artistic whims. The book straddles two major settings and timelines: the suburban creep of Pooter Valentine�[BULLET]s hometown, a world where strip malls and big box stores and fast food chains are being augmented in quiet magical realist fashion by something more sinister; and an ambiguously virtual game-world of Pooter�[BULLET]s design, an RPG and DND-indebted land of endless quests and haunting vistas which may not have an exit. While the novel is grounded in the subjectivity of Pooter�[BULLET]s anhedonia and egotism, it also aims to puncture his interiority by also becoming a story about his parents and the real people who begin to intrude (to Pooter�[BULLET]s surprise and chagrin) upon the video-game world he is allegedly the master of. Ultimately, it intends to tell a story both of the everyday ways in which we escape (and in so doing, undermine) our reality, and of a grandly supernatural departure; of escapism as an act of abandonment, but also (at its best) a catalyst for new communities and connections. This novel draft aspires to all these goals, and may perhaps achieve some of them one day. / MFA

A LOVE LETTER TO PAST, PRESENT, & FUTURE FRIENDS: THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF MURPHY’S LAW OF PRETENDERS

Moore, Rosemary Pearl 01 May 2023 (has links) (PDF)
AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OFRosemary Pearl Moore, for the Master of Fine Arts in Playwriting, presented on April 3, 2023, at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. TITLE: A LOVE LETTER TO PAST, PRESENT, & FUTURE FRIENDS: THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OF MURPHY’S LAW OF PRETENDERS MAJOR PROFESSOR: Dr. Jacob JuntunenThis thesis examines the process of taking Murphy’s Law of Pretenders from pre-writing to a full production at Southern Illinois University in March 2023 and my own growth during this time. My inspiration ranges from different aspects of pop culture to looking a staged versions of Little Women by Louise May-Alcott to The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. Murphy’s Law of Pretenders continues to explore my style of taking realism and fantasy while exploring deeper issues like mental health, and the idea of what forms does friendship take and what does it do to us.Chapter One examines the process before I started writing the play. Chapter Two explores the development process from the feedback and advice that was provide for me while I was here at Southern Illinois University. Chapter Three dives into the production process here with the director, actors, and designers in The School of Theater and Dance here at Southern Illinois University. Chapter Four details what I’ve learned from my experiences here at Southern Illinois University, and what I hope for the future of my writing. Chapter Five is the play itself, Murphy’s Law of Pretenders, where you will find what I am most proud of from this process.

Realism genom högtalare : En kvalitativ studie om högtalarkonfigurationer

Jönsson, Erik January 2024 (has links)
Ändamålet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur vi kan demonstrera en mer realistisk ljudbild genom högtalaren som återskapar ljudkällan. För att få en klarare bild av hur ett realistiskt återskapande av en ljudkälla skulle kunna fungera, genomfördes ett anonymt lyssningstest med sex stycken deltagare där de via en enkät fick delge sina tankar kring vad de upplevde som den mest realistiska återgivningen av en ljudkälla. Testet utformades på så sätt att testdeltagarna, med ögonbindel, först fick lyssna till en gitarrist som spelade en komposition, och därefter fick lyssna till en inspelad version av samma komposition genom tre stycken olika högtalarkonfigurationer: mono, stereo och enegenkonstruerad konfiguration med högtalare i fyra riktningar: vänster, höger, upp, ner. Alla testdeltagare har tidigare erfarenhet inom mixning och musikskapande för att lättare i ord kunna beskriva och delge vad det är för auditiva skillnader de upplever. För att kunna få utökad förståelse för hur vi kan återskapa ljud mer realistiskt har även en intervju genomförts med en ljudingenjör som har över 30 års erfarenhet i branschen med band som bland annat Red hot chili peppers. I denna studie användes en kvalitativ metod där varje testdeltagare har fått besvara frågorna i lugn och ro. Svaren från deltagarna samt intervjun, har analyserats för att kunna anknytas till tidigare forskning och närliggande teori. Detta för att kunna få en fördjupad förståelse kring hur vi upplever olika typer av ljudkällor samt vad realistisk återgivning av ljud är för lyssnaren. Undersökningens svar bidrar till ytterligare stöd för tidigare forskning om hur vi upplever ljudskillnader inom den psykoakustiska teorin inom ljud.
