abstract: This dissertation uses a comparative approach to investigate long-term human- environment interrelationships in times of climate change. It uses Geographical Information Systems and ecological models to reconstruct the Magdalenian (~20,000- 14,000 calibrated years ago) environments of the coastal mountainous zone of Cantabria (Northwest Spain) and the interior valleys of the Dordogne (Southwest France) to contextualize the social networks that could have formed during a time of high climate and resource variability. It simulates the formation of such networks in an agent-based model, which documents the processes underlying the formation of archaeological assemblages, and evaluates the potential impacts of climate-topography interactions on cultural transmission. This research then reconstructs the Magdalenian social networks visible through a multivariate statistical analysis of stylistic similarities among portable art objects. As these networks cannot be analyzed directly to infer social behavior, their characteristics are compared to the results of the agent-based model, which provide characteristics estimates of the Magdalenian latent social networks that most likely produced the empirical archaeological assemblage studied. This research contributes several new results, most of which point to the advantages of using an inter-disciplinary approach to the study of the archaeological record. It demonstrates the benefits of using an agent-based model to parse social data from long- term palimpsests. It shows that geographical and environmental contexts affect the structure of social networks, which in turn affects the transmission of ideas and goods that flow through it. This shows the presence of human-environment interactions that not only affected our ancestors’ reaction to resource insecurities, but also led them to innovate and improve the productivity of their own environment. However, it also suggests that such alterations may have reduced the populations’ resilience to strong climatic changes, and that the region with diverse resources provided a more stable and resilient environment than the region transformed to satisfy the immediate needs of its population. / Dissertation/Thesis / Appendix_D_Sites_Dates / Appendix_E_Flowchart_Biome_Reconstruction / Appendix_H_Flowchart_ABM / Appendix_I_Flowchart_Social_Network / Appendix_J_Portable_Art_Objects / Appendix_J_Art_Characteristics / Appendix_L_Poster_Summary / Appendix_A_Prehistoric_Fauna / Appendix_B_Modern_PFT_Distribution / Appendix_C_Prehistoric_PFT_Distribution / Doctoral Dissertation Anthropology 2017

[pt] Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa, realizada por meio de grupos focais e painéis visuais com interessados em objetos de arte africana no Brasil, com o objetivo de levantar crenças e preferências desses indivíduos. O estudo explorou o conceito de arte africana junto a esse público, imagens e emoções associadas a esse conceito, motivos que orientam a preferência por alguns objetos sobre outros e aspectos importantes do valor simbólico e estético dos objetos de arte africana. A pesquisa também trouxe observações sobre a adequação dos objetos de arte africana às propriedades encontradas em objetos de consumo hedônico e sobre alguns aspectos do consumo e posse de objetos de arte africana. / [en] This qualitative research uses focal groups and visual panels to elicit beliefs and preferences of some Brazilians interested in objects of African art. It hás explored the concept of African art, the images and emotions associated with it, the driving motives underlying the preferences for certain art objects over others. This study also discusses some important simbolic and aesthetic aspects of hedonic consumption related to African art.

过去十年，许多学者都对丽江古城的旅游发展与文化变迁进行过批评。文化真实性的丧失和文化商品化是这些批评中的重要主题。这些问题不仅反映了丽江古城在文化旅游发展下的困境，也是众多其它文化遗产地共同面对的难题。本文通过对丽江古城的木雕与绘画旅游艺术品的研究，探讨了文化旅游中的文化生产与文化想像，并回应了这些相关问题。 / 在田野调查的基础上，本文总结了上个世纪九十年代以来云南旅游艺术品市场的形成，以及丽江旅游纪念品与木雕绘画产品的发展历程。接下来的讨论通过三个主题来进行：传统与原始、真实与消费、混杂与重构。在传统与原始的讨论中，笔者结合东巴象形文字在现代东巴画和旅游艺术品的应用，分析了当代纳西知识分子和精英画家对东巴文化的想像和艺术再现。所谓的传统生活与文化被绑定在了文化的原始性和艺术的原始性表现中。古城艺人在继承了现代东巴画派的成果的基础上将艺术品与现代生活做了更多的联接。但是传统与原始的联接仍然在很多方面建构着当地的文化想像和实践。真实与消费的讨论中，文章认为文化真实性既有客观性的一面，也有主观性的一面，他们共同构成了文化遗产地的文化真实。许多旅游艺术品的生产都与当地的文化想像有关，它是具有实践性的文化生产。在文化商品化的过程中，文化想像也发挥着作用，它使真实与消费联系起来。不同的参与者都在用自己的方式参与着文化变迁与重构的协商。在文化生产的过程中，当地的艺人运用混杂的方式不断试验着新的可以表达自己又获得市场认可的作品。他们通过与不同人的交流与想像，在古城的混杂的空间里寻找着自己可以发声的位置，对艺术的追求和艺术家身份的建构成为其中的一个硕果。 / 随着旅游的发展，古城空间和职能发生了根本性的改变，新的文化群体和文化空间正在形成，对文化想像的追寻代替了对文化真实性的追寻成为了旅游活动的主导。文化遗产概念在传播与应用过程中不断被文化想像所填充。尽管古城的木雕与绘画业仍然存在许多问题，但它却孕育出了一批有理想的当地年轻人，他们在文化变迁中正以自己的力量努力着。 / Since the last decade, many scholars have undertaken critical researches on tourism development and culture changes. Cultural authenticity and cultural commercialization have been the main topics in the discussions. These problems exist generally in most heritage sites. This thesis proposes to further explore these topics by studying the case of Lijiang old town in Yunnan, China. It focuses on the local woodcrafts and paintings, two popular tourist art forms, to examine cultural construction and cultural imagination in cultural tourism. / Based on field studies, I have reviewed the formation of the market for tourism art in Yunnan Province and the short history of souvenir and tourism arts in Lijiang since 1990s. The following discussion focuses on three main topics: tradition and primitiveness, authenticity and consumption, hybridity and reconstruction. The first topic studies the cultural imagination in contemporary Dongba paintings from Naxi intellectuals and elite artists by analyzing the wide use of Dongba hieroglyphic characters. Cultural primitiveness is used to represent traditional life and culture in the paintings. Although the local craftsmen and painters try to connect traditional culture with modern life, the bond between cultural tradition and primitiveness is still a major influence on cultural imagination and practice. For the second topic, I argue that cultural authenticity has both objective and subjective sides, and both sides interact with local cultural imagination at the heritage site. Many tourism arts are produced with local cultural imagination, and in turn they influence the construction of local culture. Cultural imagination is the bridge between authenticity and consumption. Various stakeholders are participating in the negotiation of cultural changes in their own ways. For the third topic, at the production side, local artists experiment with hybridity on their craft works and have found an efficient way to express their ideas as well as getting feedbacks from the market and consumers. The local craftsmen find their identities and positions in the old town as a result of communication and practices. The pursuit for art and the identity of artist are their major achievements. / With the development of cultural tourism, the Lijiang old town has completely changed in terms of both space and function. Newer and younger cultural groups and cultural spaces are emerging, seeking cultural imagination instead of cultural authenticity in the tourism activities. The concept of cultural heritage is filled up with cultural imagination during its spread in practice. Although the development of woodcrafts and paintings in Lijiang still has many difficulties and problems, it has successfully cultivated a group of local artists who have dreams and will put all their efforts to develop the local culture in their works. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 周蔚蔚. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 269-279) and indexes. / Electronic reproduction.

Se o que existiu e foi fotografado na paisagem urbana possibilitou a incorporação do que se tornou visível nos artefatos nominados Documentos poéticos, no acervo artístico e no projeto curatorial de exposições do Museu de Arte do Rio Grande do Sul Ado Malagoli (2011-2014), como O Cânone pobre: uma arqueologia da precariedade na arte; em contraste, propiciou a organização dos Relatórios imaginais correspondentes à Coleção Objetos de pesquisa em artes plásticas, os quais existem, foram fotografados durante o experimento e, pelo viés histórico, incorporados ao acervo do Museu Paranaense e socializados no Pergamum (2012- 2014). Esse princípio metodológico para estruturar a investigação sobre o gesto fotográfico como ato criativo em espaços transitórios, das ações museológicas praticadas por seres humanos em relação com os objetos circundantes, assegurou inteligentes graus de interação além da época de nossa cidade Curitiba, ao sul do Brasil.

This thesis document serves as a support paper for my exhibition titled, Selected Work. The goal of this document is to present and discuss a set of ideas and interests as they pertain to my studio practice and thesis project in particular, and to contemporary (ie. current) art practices in general. In this document I examine selected works from Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, Andy Kaufman, Maurizio Cattelan and Richard Prince. Through the exploration of these artists and their works, I begin by examining the object and the conditions that give it approval as an art object. Using these conditions, I examine the effect that experience has on the object. This support paper will serve as a glossary of terms and theoretical concerns relevant to my thesis exhibition / vi, 64 leaves : col. ill. ; 29 cm

Ceramics has always existed on the fringes of craft and high art. The purpose of this thesis project is to elevate clay beyond the traditions of craft by examining the historical use of clay and the everyday object. My research looks specifically at works by Marcel Duchamp, Andy Warhol, Jeff Koons and Jasper Johns in order to examine the origin of displaying the massproduced object and reflecting upon it’s validity as high status art object. In this project I am also interested in infrastructural systems within modern architecture-- plumbing, wiring, heat ducts vents-- with a specific focus on systems lurking inside walls and how these function to influence architectural space. With the advent of modern plumbing, concealing these elements was adopted as the new standard and still exists today. Through the presentation of defamiliarized handmade objects, my exhibition presents the appearance of manufactured material through the serial manipulation of scale, surface and quantity. The result reveals a clay piece that renders the material unrecognizable providing the viewer with a new view on the object's tradition. / v, 47 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm
