Abjection and social transformation in John Fowles's Mantissa and A MaggotUnknown Date (has links)
In John Fowles's last two novels, he alters his authorial project of discovering freedom for an individual from a social system to how a social system can be changed from within. Using Julia Kristeva's theory of abjection and her interpretation of the semiotic versus symbolic processes of signification, readers can determine how an imbalance in the human signifying process has become corrupted by power. Through Fowles's heroines and semiotic irruptions of the symbolic order in both Mantissa and A Maggot, Fowles reveals weaknesses in the symbolic, and consequently, moments where transformation of a patriarchal, symbolic system can be recognized. These moments of strain on the symbolic are significant because they cause a disruption of the rules and borders that define a social system like patriarchy. By calling attention to these moments, the categorical imperatives that have been imposed on women and perpetuated for the purpose of maintaining power relations can thus be subverted. In Mantissa and A Maggot, Fowles accomplishes a breaking of the boundaries, both within and of the text, by providing a literary space where readers can glimpse the power of the semiotic, the corruption of social conditioning, and gain a new perspective of their own symbolic/social system in the real world. / by Jenifer A.

Fostering Creativity Using Special Library Collections: A Case Study of The Arthur & Mata Jaffe Center For The Book ArtsUnknown Date (has links)
This dissertation examines the Arthur & Mata Jaffe Center for the Book Arts
(JCBA) at Florida Atlantic University, focusing on creativity. Sixteen artists whose
artwork is collected by the center were chosen to provide an overview of the creative
process of book artists: Susan Allix, Julie Chen, Béatrice Coron, Johanna Drucker,
Timothy Ely, Karen Hanmer, Linda K. Johnson, Marie Marcano, Bea Nettles, Matthew
Reinhart, Robert Sabuda, Susan Joy Share, Keith Smith, Beth Thielen, Carol Todaro, and
Marshall Weber. The artists and the JCBA were selected for this study not only because
these artists‘ books provide a unique opportunity to explore the creative processes of their
makers, since many points of creative decision must be made, but also because artist‘s
books by definition are often conceived, written, designed, printed, and bound by an
individual artist. The list contains several artists who have been important to the historical
development of the artist‘s book or pop-up publishing fields. Their influence ranges in scope from the historical to the international, national, and local, especially in terms of
the JCBA.
This dissertation should be useful to creativity researchers and students of the
book arts because it is the first study to use qualitative research and creativity studies as a
lens to investigate the artifacts and creative processes of artists in the book arts genre, as
well as the first to use the case study approach to examine a book arts center and its
educational practices with the focus of creativity research.
With these goals in mind, concept maps were first created to document the artists‘
internal and external processes of creation, while master composite maps were compiled
to facilitate a meta-analysis of their experienced creativity. The JCBA was then profiled,
and its educational programs, practices, and policies were documented in order to
describe and demonstrate how it encourages the creativity of book artists, as well as how
its creativity-enhancing practices are established and traced into associated organizations.
A model of how the organization does this is proposed and discussed with the intention
of enhancing this effect at the JCBA and in other book arts organizations. / Includes bibliography. / Dissertation (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

A Network of Ideas: Brokerage and Success Among Visual Artists in South FloridaUnknown Date (has links)
This study looks at artists’ careers as paths defined by their relative position in a
dynamic professional network where innovation and creativity are highly regarded.
Today, the theoretical and empirical study of networks has demonstrated that in some
professions the individuals’ position in the network can facilitate or constrain their
success. In studies about diffusion of information, for instance, some authors have found
that individuals connected to a greater variety of sources are more creative and perform
better. I explored this idea by looking at a network of visual artists and art institutions in
Miami, and found a positive correlation between position and success, though, not
explained by variety exclusively. In the network, artistic success is a function of
connecting both across artistic categories and a hierarchical system; therefore, in an art
world, creativity and innovation are mediated by key members, who distribute
information and resources through affiliation, prominence and brokerage. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Previous issue date: 2018-06-18 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The present research is the result of studies of the creative processes of the
contemporary process art works by Elida Tessler and Beth Moysés, which modify
over time, tending towards the unfinished and coinciding with the life of the artist.
Art works that are constituted by the participation of people in its process, with the
proposition of actions and the activation of experiences, whose sensorial
aesthetic is completed by the action of the spectator, requiring a more active
reception. The research was carried out through the observation of a diversity of
documents of creative processes so to formulate hypothesis about the main knots
of the creation networks studied. For this purpose, the theory of creation
processes conceived by Cecília Almeida Salles was used as an instrument for the
critique of the processes and as an itinerary for the study and understanding of
the art works. The aim of the research is to analyze the communicational aspects
of practices that exceed the relation artist spectator and integrate people in their
processes, creating a collaboration structure. The objective is to understand the
artistic-creative procedures that unleash processes of singularization,
collectivization and acting in networks / A presente pesquisa é resultado dos estudos dos processos criativos das obras
processuais contemporâneas de Elida Tessler e Beth Moysés, as quais
modificam-se ao longo do tempo, tendendo ao inacabamento e a coincidir com a
vida do artista. Obras que constituem-se da participação de pessoas em seu
processo, tendo uma proposição de ações e ativação de experiências, cuja
estética sensorial se completa pela ação do outro, requerendo uma recepção
cada vez mais ativa. A pesquisa é desenvolvida a partir da observação de uma
diversidade de documentos dos processos de criação, para assim formular
hipóteses sobre os principais nós das redes de criação estudadas. Para isso, foi
utilizada a teoria de processos de criação concebida por Cecília Almeida Salles,
como instrumento para a crítica dos processos e roteiro para o estudo e
entendimento das obras. A pesquisa se propõe a analisar os aspectos
comunicacionais em práticas que extrapolam a relação artista x espectador e
integram pessoas em seus processos, criando uma estrutura de colaboração. O
objetivo é compreender os procedimentos artístico-criativos que desencadeiam
processos de singularização, de coletivização e de atuação em redes

Previous issue date: 2018-06-21 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo - FAPESP / Under the premise that our history is constituted under the impact of catastrophes, and that in this context, writing a historical novel will never be a neutral gesture, this paper proposes to investigate the historical novel in contemporary Brazilian fiction, from the perspective of theory and literary creation. This work proposes a hypothesis for the hypothesis of the hypothesis of Lukács (2011), Jameson (2007), Perry Anderson (2007), Linda Hutcheon (1991), Esteves (2010) and Weinhardt (2011) and Bastos (2007). the reading of the contemporary historical novel. From two key notions, 1) what will be defined in this work as a spectrum logic, 2) and writing as a burial rite, the central premise of this work is to look at history as a fundamentally necromantic practice. These notions are tested, or developed, from the critical reading of two contemporary works: O marechal de costas, by José Luiz Passos (2016) and De mim já nem se lembra, by Luiz Ruffato (2015). If the sign (sema) is a tomb and the writing of history and the relationship with the past is a kind of burial rite (as Jeanne-Marie Gagnebin asserts, in the wake of Michel de Certeau), which separates the past from the present world of the living dead of the world), the past not properly elaborated, not buried, returns as specter: and haunts and defiles the present. In this sense, it is possible to read the contemporary historical novel as a kind of attempt to burial the specters of the past that haunt the present. In the practical section, this work presents a novel, a historical fiction, freely inspired by the figure of Januário Garcia Leal / Sob a premissa que nossa história se constitui sob impacto de catástrofes, e que, nesse contexto, escrever um romance histórico nunca será um gesto neutro, esse trabalho se propõe a investigar o romance histórico na ficção contemporânea brasileira, da perspectiva da teoria e da criação literária. Sem abandonar totalmente as concepções de Lukács, (2011), Jameson (2007), Perry Anderson (2007), Linda Hutcheon (1991), Esteves (2010) e Weinhardt (2011) e Bastos (2007), esse trabalho propõe uma hipótese para a leitura do romance histórico contemporâneo. A partir de duas noções chave, 1) aquilo que será definido nesse trabalho como lógica do espectro, 2) e a escrita enquanto rito de sepultamento, a premissa central deste trabalho é olhar para a história enquanto prática fundamentalmente necromante. Essas noções são testadas, ou desenvolvidas, a partir da leitura crítica de duas obras contemporâneas: O Marechal de costas, de José Luiz Passos (2016) e De mim já nem se lembra, de Luiz Ruffato (2015). Se o signo (séma) é um túmulo e a escrita da história e a relação com o passado uma espécie de rito de sepultamento (como afirma Jeanne-Marie Gagnebin, na esteira de Michel de Certeau), que separa o passado do presente (o mundo dos mortos do mundo vivos), o passado não devidamente elaborado, não enterrado, retorna como espectro: e assombra e contamina o presente. Nesse sentido, é possível ler o romance histórico contemporâneo como uma espécie de tentativa de sepultamento dos espectros do passado que assombram o presente. Na seção prática, esse trabalho apresenta um romance, uma ficção histórica, livremente inspirada da figura de Januário Garcia Leal

Previous issue date: 2017-06-28 / Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de São Paulo - FAPESP / The thesis analyzes the constitution of the body in contemporary theatrical experiences where, through failures, deactivations and impossibilities, states that generate perceptual impacts, both in actors and spectators, are activated. Examples of those creation modes were selected works of the Japanese group Chelfitsch, Cia. Brasileira de Teatro and two plays directed by Carolina Mendonça, and also a practical experience, which proposes an alliance between academic and artistic research. The theoretical foundation relies on the indisciplinary methodology proposed by the corpomídia theory (KATZ and GREINER, 2005) which organizes networks between different areas of knowledge. Moreover, theoretical references from the field of theater and body studies are mobilized, as well as philosophical formulations of authors such as Giorgio Agamben (2008, 2014), Judith Halberstam (2011) and Jacques Derrida (2012). The expected result is to explicit the ways the operators - terms and concepts - are articulated to the bodily actions that cause destabilization in their usual functionality in life and aesthetic models given a priori, finding these same displacements, their political and performative potency / A tese analisa a constituição do corpo em experiências teatrais contemporâneas nas quais, através de falhas, desativações e impossibilidades, são ativados estados que geram impactos perceptivos, tanto em atores como em espectadores. Como exemplificações desse modo de criar foram selecionados trabalhos do grupo japonês Chelfitsch, da Cia. Brasileira de Teatro e duas peças dirigidas por Carolina Mendonça, além de incluir uma experiência prática, que propõe uma aliança entre pesquisa acadêmica e artística. A fundamentação teórica apoia-se na metodologia indisciplinar constituída pela teoria corpomídia (KATZ e GREINER, 2005) que organiza redes entre diversas áreas do conhecimento. Além disso, são mobilizadas referências teóricas do campo de estudos teatrais e do corpo, assim como, formulações filosóficas de autores como Giorgio Agamben (2008, 2014), Judith Halberstam (2011) e Jacques Derrida (2012). O resultado esperado é a explicitação de modos de articular operadores – termos e conceitos – a ações corporais, que provocam desestabilizações em suas funcionalidades habituais na vida e nos modelos estéticos dados a priori, encontrando nestes mesmos deslocamentos, a sua potência política e performativa

Nothing personalChaitow, Tanya, School of Arts, UNSW January 2007 (has links)
The autobiographical nature of my work deals with the space between the innocence of childhood and the wisdom of adulthood. I explore the complexities of personal experience, old and new landscapes and the scar tissue of memory. The work deals with beginnings and departures, relationships and conflict of power and vulnerability in the quest to make sense of life. My work connects with moments of childhood that I try to retain as a touchstone for authentic experience. The images are derived from personal and familial experiences, moving through to the universal to tell the human tale, using the human body as a metaphor. The body becomes the subject matter for expressing ideas about our universal and personal concerns. I explore the gulf between the real and the unreal through examining themes such as identity, vulnerability, anxiety, fear, alienation, abandonment, loss, corruption of innocence, love and death within a contemporary urban framework. These emotions are played out against the backdrop of daily domesticity and reflect the physical reality of the world around us, often exposing the contrast between the orderly veneer of our daily lives and our emotional reality. My work methodology uses narrative found in books, films, fairy tales or fables to explore the conflicting emotions which structure human identity and interaction. I use the stories as a way of approaching ideas or emotions and exploiting the story as a focus of cultural knowledge. In the search for emotional truth I draw parallels between my art practice and the search for authenticity within the theatre. My work is an attempt to explain my own creative process in relation to the artists who have influenced me, my childhood, its rich tradition of storytelling and my passion for theatre and literature as well as a search for meaning in my own relationships and life's journey. This is conveyed through a series of paintings and works on paper.
