181	Adapting the Hellmouth in the Office of the Dead from the Hours of Catherine of Cleves: An Experiment in Using a Dramaturgical Approach to Medieval Studies Godfrey, Tatiana A 01 July 2021 (has links) This thesis is an artefact documenting the process of adapting a late medieval painting of hell into a short horror film. The process of adapting the Three Mouths of Hell, housed within the Hours of Catherine of Cleves, serves as an experiment in applying a dramaturgical approach to medieval studies. The process of adaptation and production, informed by critical research about the Hours of Catherine of Cleves and its Three Mouths of Hell, yields new frameworks for understanding the history of Catherine of Cleves, her Book of Hours, and the Three Mouths of Hell. hellmouth dramaturgy adaptation book of hours medieval Acting Film Production Other Theatre and Performance Studies Performance Studies Screenwriting Theatre History
182	La matérialité du geste : un parcours de construction Prado, Márcio Montoril 24 April 2018 (has links) Ce mémoire vise à discuter de la démarche artistique entreprise au sein du projet La matérialité du geste : un parcours de construction. Je porte d'abord un regard sur mon parcours dans le domaine des arts afin de saisir la continuité de mon approche sur les plans conceptuel et méthodologique. Trois champs de connaissance ressortent dans mon parcours : l'architecture, le métier d'art et les arts visuels. Par conséquent, le cadre théorique aborde ces trois domaines tout en soulignant la pertinence de la culture de l'artisanat comme un lieu de convergence de mes intérêts artistiques. En plus des questions liées au travail artisanal, l'influence de quelques enjeux présents dans la démarche de Nelson Felix sur le projet est prise en compte, notamment la réversibilité et la temporalité. Finalement, je traite de la méthode utilisée dans le projet. Cette méthode est principalement centrée sur le dessin, la pratique artisanale, la réversibilité et la grille. La matérialité du geste opère dans l'entrecroisement de différents domaines des arts où le travail artisanal favorise une expérience intime du phénomène artistique.

183	Je réaffirme des formes et je réactive des gestes Rajotte, Camille 23 April 2018 (has links) Dans ce texte, je discute de ma pratique artistique actuelle, plus particulièrement des œuvres d’art que j’ai réalisées dans l’espace public. J’explique d’une part l’articulation de mon travail autour des thèmes de l’architecture et de l’urbanisme ainsi que l’intérêt que je porte à l’espace public. J’explore d’autre part la possibilité d’intégrer un usage dans une œuvre d’art et je traite de certaines théories en rapport à la notion d’usage, en particulier la théorie des affordances de Gibson et la théorie des sites comportementaux de Barker. J’explique ensuite la façon dont l’étude des comportements humains s’immisce dans mon processus créatif ainsi que le type d’expérience que je cherche à créer par des œuvres d’art destinées à l’usage. Je traite également de la perception corporelle que je désire provoquer et j’aborde le concept d’appropriation relié aux opportunités d’usage présentes dans la ville. Enfin, j’aborde et explique les différents projets d’art que j’ai réalisés au cours de ma maîtrise.

184	Remembering Vietnam War Veterans: Interpreting History Through New Orleans Monuments and Memorials Haws, Catherine Bourg 18 December 2015 (has links) ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with the question of how America’s citizen soldiers are remembered and how their services can be interpreted through monuments and memorials. The paper discusses the concept of memory and the functions of memorialization. It explores whether and how monuments and memorials portray the difficulties, hardships, horror, costs, and consequences of armed combat. The political motivations behind the design, formation and establishment of the edifices are also probed. The paper considers the Vietnam War monuments and memorials erected by Americans and Vietnam expatriates in New Orleans, Louisiana, and examines their illustrative and educational usefulness. Results reflect that although political benefits accrued from the realization of the memorial structures in question, far more important, palliative and meaningful motives brought about their construction. They also demonstrate that, when understood, monuments and memorials can be historically useful.

Inert materials degrade and the events that comprise our natural and social environments causally thread into a duration that unifies us in our incomprehension.

186	Race mindedness in the physical architecture of Winnipeg's former civic auditorium Maton, Timothy 21 January 2016 (has links) Centred on the architecture of the Winnipeg Civic Auditorium, this thesis tangentially investigates the presence of Anglo-Saxon race mindedness in a place civic planners call the metropolitan centre of North America (Watt, 1932). The introduction situates the building tangentially in Manitoba's history. By thinking about the Civic Auditorium in a tangential manner I aim to attack the linear and sequential framework found in Eurocentric historical accounts. Doing this, my thesis criticises western architectural history and welcomes Indigenous reinterpretations of civic planning and urban aesthetics. I aim to philosophically attack the informational rhetoric of the cultural turn (Fabian, 1983). My thesis participates in the production of a material turn discourse, wherein the important philosophical relationship between objects and occidental culture is demonstrated (Otter, 2010; Bennett & Joyce, 2010; Hamilton, 2013). It utilises the Civic Auditorium as a touch stone to demonstrate the important ways that architecture has agency in the production of racism. / February 2016
187	Making History: How Art Museums in the French Revolution Crafted a National Identity, 1789-1799 Sido, Anna E 01 January 2015 (has links) This paper compares two art museums, both created during the French Revolution, that fostered national unity by promoting a cultural identity. By analyzing the use of preexisting architecture from the ancien régime, innovative displays of art and redefinitions of the museum visitor as an Enlightened citizen, this thesis explores the application of eighteenth-century philosophy to the formation of two museums. The first is the Musée Central des Arts in the Louvre and the second is the Musée des Monuments Français, both housed in buildings taken over by the Revolutionary government and present the seized property of the royal family and Catholic Church. Created in a violent and unstable political climate, these museums were an effective means of presenting the First Republic as a guardian of national property and protector of French identity.

Bellocq's "Storyville Portraits" within art historical and feminist historiographies. One of the most infamously alluring parts of New Orleans at the turn of the century, the Storyville red light district is hardly part of contemporary American consciousness today. Part of my work involves an evaluation of what a lack of archival resources does to perceptions of Storyville and more broadly, the stereotypical late Victorian “fallen women” that has been read into history - both by historians and popular culture. However, my focal point is indeed the portraits and how they might be re-read and fruitfully explored when considering a variety of pertinent factors that influenced representations of sex work in late 19th century New Orleans.

189	Dánsko - Československo 1947-1957, Umění a architektura za hranicemi funkcionalismu, surrealismu a Bauhausu / Denmark - Czechoslovakia 1947-1957, The Art and Architecture Beyond Functionalism, Surrealism and Bauhaus Ištok, Radoslav January 2014 (has links) ! The thesis is exploring art and architecture in Denmark and Czechoslovakia in the period 1947-1957. The main interest was to see how the interwar avant-garde movements such as Functionalism and Surrealism, as well as the legacy of Bauhaus, developed after the WWII. Yet, Functionalism and Surrealism can also be seen not only as mere artistic styles but as two different attitudes towards life, Rational and Romantic respectively. The latter, which is a passionate protest against the status quo, can especially in its revolutionary or utopian dimension serve as a form of engagement free of the simplifying Cold War binaries.
