Espaços da perda e da destruição : o labirinto como metáfora da casa e vice-versa, na constituição de uma poética contemporânea

Ferreira, Raquel Andrade January 2015 (has links)
A pesquisa de doutoramento Espaços da Perda e da Destruição - O Labirinto como Metáfora da Casa e vice-versa, na constituição de uma poética contemporânea foi desenvolvida no Programa de Pós-graduação em Artes Visuais ênfase em poéticas visuais do Instituto de Artes da UFRGS, sob orientação do Prof. Dr. Hélio Fervenza, de 2010 a 2015. Durante este período, realizei um conjunto de trabalhos constituídos por vídeos, fotografias, instalações, palavras e frases, instruções, objetos e ações performáticas que foram apresentadas em diferentes instituições expositivas. Todos eles são perpassados pela materialidade de objetos quebrados ou salvaguardados em disposição labiríntica. Os trabalhos revelaram a problemática com a qual me deparei e que desencadeou as reflexões desta tese, que poderia ser resumida na seguinte pergunta: Como constituir uma obra artística e uma poética no contexto da arte contemporânea, a partir do entrecruzamento dos espaços doméstico da casa e polimorfo do labirinto? Em decorrência dos desdobramentos práticos e teóricos dos trabalhos, tangencio vários conceitos tais como: O cotidiano, a casa, o labirinto, a perda e a destruição. O processo que envolve a articulação entre os elementos que compõem os trabalhos apontam os sentidos e a singularidade deste trabalho, assim como os aspectos cognitivos do processo de criação. / The doctoral research project Spaces of Loss and Destruction – The Labyrinth as Metaphor and vice-versa, in the constitution of a contemporary poetic was developed between 2010 to 2015 at the Postgraduate Program in Visual Arts of the Instituto de Artes of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul-UFRGS in Porto Alegre, Brazil, under the advisorship of Prof. Dr. Hélio Fervenza. During this period, I have produced a group of works composed of videos, photography, installations, words and phrases, instructions, objects and performative actions which have been presented in a variety of institutional exhibition spaces. All of these are permeated by the materiality of broken or safeguarded objects and presented using labyrinthical placement. The works have revealed a problematic triggering the reflections in this thesis, which may be summarized in the following question: How can one constitute a work of art and a poetic in the context of contemporary art by intercrossing spaces of the house and the polymorphic labyrinth? As a result of the practical and theoretical ramifications of these works, various concepts have become closely connected to it, such as: The everyday, the house, the labyrinth, loss and destruction. The process of articulating the works’ compositional elements evokes meanings and indicates their singularity, as well as cognitive aspects of the creative process.

O Afogar das veredas: uma análise comparativa espacial e temporal das veredas do Chapadão de Catalão (GO)

A área de ocorrência das Veredas apresenta-se subordinada às características ambientais que possibilitaram sua evolução. Essa pertence à região do Cerrado, com suas particularidades e subsistemas específicos, tais como as Superfícies Aplainadas de Cimeira e a presença de solos hidromórficos com buritizais (Mauritia vinifera), compondo ambientes embaciados específicos, formadores dos subsistemas das Veredas. As Veredas se constituem num importante ecossistema, possuindo, além do significado ecológico, um papel sócio-econômico e estético paisagístico que lhe confere importância regional, principalmente quanto ao aspecto de constituírem refúgios fauno-florísticos e por serem ambiente de nascedouro das fontes hídricas do Planalto Central Brasileiro, fonte vital para a preservação das águas da região e sistema hídrico brasileiro. Nesse contexto, a pesquisa procura entender as mudanças ocorridas, a partir da interferência antrópica, através de práticas agro-pastoris decorrentes da expansão da agricultura na região, nesse ambiente, que vem interferindo de forma impiedosa na paisagem e na percepção dos moradores, uma vez que promove as transformações do ambiente, refletindo na vida cotidiana dos mesmos e na paisagem local. Decorrente disso, há a necessidade urgente de reverter o processo de intervenção antrópica no ambiente das Veredas, visando, com isso, à sua preservação e garantindo o fluxo de água nas nascentes que as mesmas representam no Planalto Central e refúgio para a fauna e flora. / AbstracThe primary aim of this study talks about the process of deterioration of the Veredas (a type of lowland area usually with a natural spring as the source of water and groves of buriti palms), searching for an understanding of the inherent and resultant facts of man's intervention in the enviroment of the Veredas, which exist in the scrublands of Central Brazil, more specifically in the Veredas of the Chapadão de Catalão, in the southeast part of the state of Goiás, Brazil, through a comparative space and time analysis. The areas in which the Veredas are found demonstrate that they are closely linked to the environmental characteristics that make their evolution possible. This refers to the scrubland region, with its peculiarities and specific ecosystems, such as the Plains of Cimeira and the presence of wet, saturated soil with buriti palm groves (Mauritia vinifera), consisting of certain wetland enviromenments, which create the Vereda ecosystems. The Veredas make up an important ecosystem: besides their ecological importance, they play a socio-economic role and provide scenery that gives them a regional importance, specially considering their role as wildlife refuges and as areas of natural springs of the central Brazilian Plateau, vital sources of water in that region and the Brazilian water systems. In this context, this research tries to understand the changes that have occurred, starting with human interference caused by farming practices happening due to the expansion of agriculture in the region, which is mercilessly destroying the landscape and changing the natural beauty that the local inhabitants enjoy, that causes transformations in the environment, reflected in the everyday life of the inhabitants and in the local landscape. As a result of this, there is an urgent need to reverse the process of destruction of the Veredas ecosystem...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)
