21	Konstruktioner av Bofills båge : En undersökning av arkitektur och diskurs Daniel, Sjöborg January 2018 (has links) Uppsatsen undersöker diskurs kring det postmoderna byggnadskomplexet Bofills båge på Södermalm i Stockholm, som uppfördes mellan 1989 och 1992. Med utgångspunkt i teorier om kritisk diskursanalys undersöks utsagor i tre artiklar och ett TV-inslag som behandlar projektet, samt det sammanhang som utsagorna och projektet befann sig i. Allmän teoretisk utgångspunkt är Michel Foucaults iakttagelser kring diskurs. Thomas A. Markus och Deborah Camerons tillämpning för arkitekturdomänen av Norman Faircloughs teorier om kritisk diskursanalys är teoretiskt och metodologiskt ramverk för undersökningen. Uppsatsen undersöker i ett inledande kapitel sammanhanget ur både ett allmänt internationellt och specifikt svenskt perspektiv. I följande kapitel undersöks utsagor i de tre artiklarna och TV-inslaget. Artiklarna och TV-inslaget undersöks var och en till form och innehåll och med bakgrund i sammanhanget. En avslutande diskussion sammanfattar och diskuterar tidigare kapitel, samt relaterar utsagorna till varandra och till sammanhanget. Det förs en diskussion om den modernistiska arkitekturvokabulärens, den svenska traditionens och det politiska perspektivets betydelse för det sammanhang utsagorna befann sig i. diskurs kritisk diskursanalys postmodernism modernism pastisch Bofills båge Stockholm Södra station Michel Foucault Norman Fairclough Thomas A.

22	A visual narrative reflecting on upbringing of Xhosa girls with special references to 'intonjane" Sotewu, Siziwe Sylvia 02 1900 (has links) The study unpacked the meaning and the value of intonjane in traditional Xhosa communities. It also provides a critical analysis and interpretation of the intonjane custom and in particular its impact on the upbringing of a Xhosa traditional girl child. It investigates the value of this practice, especially in relation to where it is still being performed, even in our modern times. I researched closely into all aspects of how the girls were brought up, and with what social values. The data collection has been conducted through interviews with the Philakukuzenzela group when they were in Grahamstown Art Festival in July 2011 who come from a place called Centuli, and other people (abaThembu) who practice and have knowledge of the different aspects of the intonjane process and observation during the actual ceremonies in O. R. Thambo district, and in Gemvale near Port St Johns in the Province of the Eastern Cape. Interviews were conducted in Xhosa and translated into English. This Visual Narrative investigates and contributes to the debate regarding the value of traditional African thought and how it can enrich our contemporary belief system. The objective was to investigate the essence and merit of the knowledge imparted by elderly women to young girls during the initiation period of intonjane within Xhosa traditional communities. This study provides a foundation and springboard for my practical artworks which utilized symbols and metaphors to express my understanding of the important events and stages associated with this traditional ceremony. Clay medium was used as the medium of expression, applying different techniques such as throwing, press mold, slab building, coiling, engraving, sewing and inlaying, with press mold being the main technique utilized. My artworks are of three different types, which are symbolic of the three aspects or stages, of liminality, namely: pre-liminal, liminal and post-liminal. / Art history, Visual arts and Musicology / M.A. (Visual Arts) Liminal theory Intojane Ukwaluka Victor Turner Deborah Bell Churchill Madikida Nicholas Hlobo Xhosa Culture 392.140968 Female circumcision -- South Africa Art -- South Africa Art -- Exhibitions Initiation rites -- South Africa Circumcision -- South Africa

24	Effect of Capillary Dimensions On Die Swell of Molten Polymers Thanh, Dang Huu 01 1900 (has links) <p> The effect of capillary dimensions on the die swell of molten polymers is investigated. Low and high density polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene are used to make investigation It is found the die swell decreases vii th L/D. The plot of die swell index (d/D) vs. L/D has the shape of anexponential decay curve. </p> <p> Bagley's decaying equation is used to fit the data. The effect of Deborah number on die swell phenomenon is also studied. 'I'he relationship between the recoverable shear strains of infinitely long capillary and the one with dimensions ratio L/D is obtained. This relationship could be used to estima te the die swell of short capillary from its value at equilibrium and polymer characteristics. </p> / Thesis / Master of Engineering (MEngr)

26	Even in their dresses the females seem to bid us defiance : Boston women and performance 1762-1823 Kokai, Jennifer Anne 17 February 2012 (has links) This dissertation constructs a cultural history of women's performances in Boston from 1762-1823, using materialist feminism and ethnohistory. I look at how "woman" was historically understood at that time, and how women used those discourses to their advantage when constructing performances that allowed them to intervene in political culture. I examine a broad range of performance activities from white, black, and Native American women of all classes. Chapter two discusses three of Boston's elite female intellectuals: Mercy Otis Warren, Judith Sargent Murray, and Sarah Wentworth Apthorp Morton. Though each woman's writings have been examined individually, I examine them as a community. With the connections and public recognition they built, they helped found the Federal Street Theatre where they could have a ventrioloquized embodied performance for their ideas on women's rights, abolition, and political parties. Chapter three looks at the construction of three solo performances: Phillis Wheatley performing her poetry in 1772; the 1802 theatre tour of Deborah Sampson Gannett, who fought as a man in the revolution; and the monologues and wax effigy creations of Patience Lovell Wright circa 1772. These women depended on their performances for sustenance, and in Wheatley's case, to secure her freedom from bondage. I look at the way these women created a mythology about themselves and crafted a marketable image, both on and off the stage. In particular, I examine the ways each grappled with a charged discourse surrounding their bodies. In chapter four I look at fashion as performance. I explore homespun dresses as political propaganda, Native American and black women's use of clothing to express cultural pride that white Anglo society had attempted to erase, and the way that women used mourning costumes to perform and create nationalism at the mock funerals held for Washington after he died in 1799. In my conclusion I contrast the 2008 miniseries John Adams with a solo performance of Phillis Wheatley. I briefly trace the trajectory of the history of women during this time. I argue that focusing on performance identifies and legitimizes other sources of evidence and locates examples of women's agency in shaping popular culture. / text Women Boston, Massachusetts Performance 18th century 19th century Political culture Politics Intellectuals Mercy Otis Warren Judith Sargent Murray Sarah Wentworth Apthorp Morton Federal Street Theatre Phillis Wheatley Deborah Sampson Gannett Patience Lovell Wright Fashion Native American women Black women White women Feminism Ethnohistory Theatre performance Popular culture
27	The role and status of women during the pre-monarchic period (1200-105 BC) Sha, Halima 11 1900 (has links) The lives of women are largely hidden in the Old Testament. New archaeological investigationsinto the households of Iron Age I have brought forward new evidence that sheds light on theauthority status and roles of women in the pre-monarchic tribal community. Conventional theory perceives that women were always oppressed and marginalised under a malevolentsystem of male rule in the Bible. The evidence indicates differently. Investigations in thedomestic sphere, where the household processes were under women’s control and management, imply that women held authority that was equal to male power in the public domain. It has been revealed that women held significant positions in the public sphere as well.This study, therefore, is an investigation into women’s status and the wide-ranging socioeconomicand religious roles they held within a system of male rule that allowed women theirauthority and autonomy in a unique period of Israelite history. / Biblical and Ancient Studies / M.
