51	Livestrong or Lie Hard: A Pentadic Analysis of Deception and Reputation Management in 'The Armstrong Lie' Anderson, Harper D. 01 March 2017 (has links) Kenneth Burke's pentadic analysis has been a staple within the context of rhetorical criticism since the early days of critical communication studies. Throughout the years it has evolved from a heavy text criticism to application to film and documentary. The Armstrong Lie is another documentary that highlights the controversial actions of former seven-time Tour de France champion, Lance Armstrong. This film provides an opportunity in which the pentadic analysis can be applied in order to really dissect the message that is being told. Through application of the pentadic analysis to The Armstrong Lie it is possible to identify the true motivation of the documentary's director, Alex Gibney. The present study seeks to identify the true message being told through the narrative of the documentary. Alex Gibney's motivations come under question as to whether or not he was exonerating himself by lessening the controversy of what Lance Armstrong had done by cheating in a highly competitive sport by characterizing him more as a product of his environment.

55	Structure and functional dynamics of the KdpFABC P-type ATPase from Escherichia coli Heitkamp, Thomas 17 April 2009 (has links) The KdpFABC complex from E. coli functions as a high affinity K uptake system and belongs to the superfamily of P-type ATPases. So far, no information is available about the orientation of the subunits within the complex as well as its oligomeric state. By chemical crosslinking, gel filtration, electron transmission microscopy and single particle FRET analysis this study shows that the KdpFABC complex occurs as a homodimer with a dissociation constant between 30 to 50 nM. Furthermore, by means of single particle analysis of transmission electron micrographs, the solution structure of the complex at 1.9 nm resolution could be solved, thus providing the first structural analysis resolving all subunits of the holoenzyme. Based on crystal structures, it is generally assumed that P-type ATPases undergo large domain movements during catalysis. However, these conformational changes have never been shown directly. By use of single molecule FRET with alternating laser excitation, distance changes could be measured directly within KdpB during ATP hydrolysis. With this technique, distances and dwell times were determined for three conformational states in the working enzyme as well as in the orthovanadate- and the OCS-inhibited state.

57	Bruce Nauman : the true artist is an absurd fountain Trapani, Alex 02 1900 (has links) Link to dataset: https://doi.org/10.25399/UnisaData.14152106.v1 / The work of Bruce Nauman can be understood as an enquiry into the absurd. His work is a critique of art, the artist and society, and is in part viewed as a mediation of stereotypical ‘truth’. The absurd is defined and analysed to elucidate the nature of art and human behaviour by means of literary comparison, in particular of Camus, Sartre and Wittgenstein. This research focusses on Nauman’s subversive performance- based work and analyses how he simulates a particular work of Duchamp. I propose that Nauman espouses human activity into the functionality of objects, such as fountains. My artworks expand on Nauman’s interrogation of the concept of a ‘true artist’ by embodying an absurd fountain as a Sisyphean construct. In contextualising my work in relation to incessant duty, insecurity and double negatives, I offer a regenerative vigour against idolisation of success through contemplation of the artist’s doubt and the absurd. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / M.A. (Visual Arts) Absurd Conceptual art Cyclical Dialetheism Existentialism Fountains Human body Performance Subversion Truth 709.22 Nauman, Bruce, 1941- -- Themes, motives Trapani, Alex -- Themes, motives Trapani, Alex -- Exhibitions Conceptual art -- 21st century Absurd (Philosophy) in art Art, Modern -- 21st century Performance art Existentialism in art Humanism in art Art appreciation
