Para poder acceder al concepto de intermedia, primero tenemos que analizar su instalación en el campo de las artes. Instalación complicada, ya que el concepto se refiere tanto a un tipo de obra como a una práctica artística; asimismo, se refiere a una determinada “actitud” frente al quehacer artístico. Cualquiera de estas tres líneas nos dirige a los sitios de disputa en los cuales dichas obras, dichas prácticas y dichas actitudes se han puesto en tela de duda, sitios de la teoría y la crítica de las artes que rechaza las nociones que las neovanguardias desarrollaron como resultado de sus postulaciones y modos de operación. Por otro lado, tenemos que el marco teórico que respalda las nociones del concepto de arte intermedia es, en sí mismo, un espacio intermedial, un discurso donde la práctica y la teoría se confunden, se mezclan, se hallan en constante proceso de reflexión, una suerte de operación abierta para quienes desean contribuir o acceder a éste. Es un marco teórico que, como finalidad última, entiende la noción de lo “intermedial” como una problemática histórica en torno a los campos de percepción y las relaciones entre lo visual, lo textual y lo sonoro, en un primer nivel, y las relaciones entre sus combinatorias y los factores sinestésicos que pueden entrar en juego. Asimismo, es una instancia de producción y de manejo de recursos que, con el paso de los años, se ha convertido en un ejercicio cotidiano de la producción artística, estableciendo parámetros y definiciones que las distinguen pero que son, originalmente, parte de dicha actitud “intermedial”.

For close to a decade, I have weighed comparative approaches to "the Great American Novel". Progress increased as soon as I resolved on selecting Moby-Dick as the work originally responsible for issuing that slogan. Making this particular selection required the application of a dynamic concept which, appropriately, reflects critiques of knowledge production: "the Archive". Perhaps the most direct references to a conceptual archive appear in Derrida's Archive Fever: A Freudian Impression, which addresses the dual forces "preservation/destruction" that influence allegory and mythology. Other critical writers refer to a similar concept through various other terms, ultimately equipping my thesis with a method for studying the relation between myth and allegory. The method draws from each writer's focus on the form and content dynamics of artifacts, and how these dynamics reflect the historical conditions that affirm or produce them. Specifically, all the writers I have selected to study, in some way consider the play between the mechanical apparatus and the representation it produces. Thus, I concluded that my literary comparative approach could involve juxtaposing a different, historically concurrent mode of documentation: film media and photography. Gravity's Rainbow is often considered, after Moby-Dick, the most universally-recognized "Great American Novel". Pynchon spends a lot of time referring to mass-produced films, their effects on the global order emerging with WWII, and to the material occurrence of film technology as it relates to the book as a material artifact. For Pynchon, the backlots built up by such "great" as D.W. Griffith constitute the twentieth-century frontier. / Master of Arts

Many critics not satisfied with explaining Moby-Dick in terms of the novel, have sough analogies in other literary genres. Most often parallels have been drawn from epic and dramatic literature. Critics have called Moby-Dick either an epic or a tragedy. After examining the evidence presented by both schools of thought, after establishing a workable definition of the epic and listing the most common epic devices, and after examining Moby-Dick in terms of this definition and discovering many of the epic devices in it, I propose the thesis that Melville has written an epic, not unlike the great epics of the past.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo demonstrar o significado dos nomes indígenas dos aeródromos do território brasileiro. Os aeródromos foram classificados nas Taxionomias de Natureza Física (Conceitos de Dick). Foram coletados e selecionados 270 topônimos cujos significados contribuem para referências visuais na navegação aérea, tornando assim um elemento participativo para segurança durante o pouso e a decolagem. O trabalho consiste em aumentar a visão do navegador nas referências dos acidentes geográficos classificados num Quadro Taxionômico Toponímico. A Toponímia, sob este aspecto, assume um papel relevante como substância preciosa no planejamento de voo e da navegação aérea. / This study aims to demonstrate the meaning of indigenous names of aerodromes of Brazil. The aerodromes were classified in the Taxonomy of Nature Physics Dick (Concepts of Dick). We collected and selected 270 toponyms whose meanings contribute to visual cues in navigation, thus making them a participatory element to promote safety during take-off and landing periods. The study intends to increase the navigator view in relation to the landforms references classified in a Taxonomy and Toponymic chart. Toponymy, in this regard, plays a relevant role as a precious element in flight planning and navigation.

Esta dissertação busca investigar os materiais sócio-históricos dos anos 60 norte-americanos materializados no romance de ficção científica Do androids dream of electric sheep? de Philip K. Dick por meio da análise do foco narrativo, especialmente. Embora não seja considerado um dos mais refinados romances de Dick, a obra apresenta um diagnóstico bastante apurado dos limites de experiência disponíveis da década. / This dissertation aims to investigate the socio-historical materials of the North American 60s materialized in the Philip K. Dicks science fiction novel Do androids dream of electric sheep? by analyzing its point of view, mostly. Although it is not considered one of Dicks finest novels, the work presents a very refined diagnosis of the limits of the available experiences of the decade.
