No. of bitstreams: 1 JEOVANA JOSÉ DE SOUZA.pdf: 1486541 bytes, checksum: 014ec5c4c34b35ab7a35960e1facf30e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-03-14 / The purpose of this project is to present the inventive procedures in the work of the argentine writer Julio Cortázar, and, has as cut the reading and analysis of some tales, that earned us as paradigms to the achievement of this project. Such procedures involve not only the proper specifications of the tale’s structure, but, the possibilities of relations between the verbal speech and other ways of semiotics interactions, in the case of this project, the painting, the movies and photography. First the text holds in the verbal speech, by the analysis and reflection of three tales, through the style traces that compose them, are they: “Casa tomada”, “Carta a uma senhoria em Pais” e “Circe”. In a second moment, we will use the tale “Continuidade dos parques” for better disposing to the similarity relations with the paintings “A condição humana” e “o Espelho falso”, represented in the project by the plastic work of René Magritte, and, finally, composing the third chapter, the project realizes an audacious movement, imposed by the tale sui generis, “As Babas do Diabo”, recreating in the movies by Michelangelo Antonioni in the movie “Blow-up”. Move among this two works, the question of real and imaginary, represented by photographic language. This movement of distinct systems, coming of the remarkable universe of invenção of the argentine writer, excites, during the project, many theoretical questions such as: realism notions and its strands, and, concerned questions to artist’s creations and its expressive nuances. / Esse trabalho tem o propósito de apresentar os procedimentos inventivos na obra do escritor argentino Julio Cortázar, e, tem como recorte a leitura e a análise de alguns contos, que nos valeram como paradigmas à realização desse estudo. Tais procedimentos envolvem não apenas as especificidades próprias da estrutura do conto, mas, as possibilidades de relações entre o discurso verbal e outras formas de interações semióticas, no caso desse trabalho, a pintura, o cinema e a fotografia. Primeiramente o texto se detém no discurso verbal, por meio da análise e reflexão de três contos, mediante os traços de estilo que os compõem, são eles: “Casa tomada”, “Carta a uma senhorita em Paris” e “Circe”. Num segundo momento, utilizaremos o conto "Continuidade dos parques” por melhor se dispor às relações de semelhanças com as pinturas “A condição humana” e “O Espelho falso”, representada no trabalho pela obra plástica de René Magritte, e, finalmente, compondo o terceiro capítulo, o trabalho realiza um movimento mais ousado, imposto pelo conto sui generis, “As Babas do Diabo”, recriado no cinema por Michelangelo Antonioni no filme “Blow-Up”. Move-se entre essas duas obras, a questão do real e o imaginário, representado pela linguagem fotográfica. Esse movimento de sistemas distintos, advindo do notável universo de invenção do escritor argentino, suscita, ao longo do trabalho, várias questões teóricas tais como: noções de realismo e suas vertentes, e, questões concernentes à criação artistas e suas nuanças expressivas.

The increasing popularity of Nigerian video-film, defined as the ‘Nollywood phenomenon’ (Barrot 2008, Haynes 2010, Adesokan 2011), has attracted recent interdisciplinary academic attention, now known as ‘Nollywood Studies’. The aesthetics and ideological approach of Nollywood video-film are often differentiated from those of the long-established and illustrious African Cinema. Films of Africa are, however, generally characterised by seemingly unique forms of the fantastic – an uneasy theme in scholarship on Nollywood. Although Nollywood video-film is commended by some scholars, its representation of the supernatural and the fantastic is often perceived to be demeaning. Considering the complexity of fantastic themes in creative arts of Africa, this study contributes to this field of study by positioning Nollywood as an interventionist artistic practice that subverts the division between art and popular culture. Further, it considers how this positioning could shift our thinking about what constitutes art and creative practice in Africa. The distinctions between art and popular culture have been inherited from particularly Western disciplines. A critical analysis of the fantastic in Nollywood could expand interpretations of the broader uses of new media and appropriation and develop the discourse on contemporary creative practices of Africa and the parameters of the art history discipline. I interrogate the visual language of the video-film medium through a discussion of other forms of artistic media such as photography, video art, and performance art. The fantastic themes, such as ‘magic’, ‘fetishism’ and violence, conveyed through new media open up a field of questions regarding contemporary social-political dynamics. The cultural value of Nollywood video-film is often based on who makes it. As a proletarian product, Nollywood has been underestimated as a ‘low’ form of culture. Its use of appropriated material connotes the complex dialectics that formulate class difference. I consider how a positioning of video-film as a creative practice could be complicated by the fact that it also operates as a theocentric implement that is used by churches to evangelise. Moreover, I examine how ‘epic’ films construct idyllic notions of ‘ethnicity’ based on dialectics of rational/irrational or real/fantastic. Nollywood video-film also creates images of fantastic spaces. In this thesis, I address concepts of space in Nollywood from which fantastic desire is constructed.

本論文主要探討十六至十七世紀的仙境繪畫及其所反映的仙境觀念，並以歸入仇英名下的仙境圖為中心，通過分析畫中的內容意涵，藉以展現十六至十七世紀明人對仙境圖處理的多樣性。 / 基於現時傳為出自仇英手筆的仙境圖最多，仇英可以說是當時十六至十七世紀對仙境題材創作情況的一個縮影。加上，仇英作為十六世紀具代表性的職業畫家，其仙境圖很有可能是針對具體的「使用對象」而生產，迎合不同人的不同想法和需要。在這種前提下，本文將仇英以及託名仇英的仙境圖理解為十六至十七世紀藝術市場需求下的產物，並從剖析它們的題材和構圖入手，以揭示受畫人對於仙境畫作的情感寄託。 / 所謂仙境圖，即是描繪神仙所居的圖像。仙境圖可歸入山水畫科，而且與山水畫的界定比較模糊。就畫中不同的圖像表現，可將仇英名下的仙境圖分成五類：第一種是以個別神仙入畫的仙境圖；第二種是畫中出現道士煉丹場景的仙境圖；第三種是畫有等候飛昇的歷史人物的仙境圖；第四種是描繪「桃花源」主題的仙境圖；最後一種是懷有文人情調的仙境圖。 / 本文以其中三類仙境圖為例，指出時人對仙境的運用各有差別：以個別神仙入畫的仙境圖較適用於壽慶場合，畫有道士煉丹場景的仙境圖則似是作為當時追求長生的慰藉，而以文人形象入畫的仙境圖即蘊含隱世思想；從而說明這些仙境圖在明代社會中發揮不同的作用，傳達不同的信息，滿足不同的需求，反映出繪畫與使用場合及使用對象之間的緊密關係。 / This thesis attempts to study the immortal landscape paintings from the sixteenth to seventeenth century as well as the ideas on the realm of immortals embodied in these paintings. Focusing on the immortal landscape paintings attributed to Qiu Ying, this thesis analyses their themes and allusive meanings, and thus presents the diversity in the diverse approaches adopted in the immortal landscape paintings in the late Ming period. / Since a majority of the immortal landscape paintings survived today is attributed to Qiu Ying, his works can be seen as the encapsulation of the artistic creations on the theme of the realm of immortals dated in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. A representative professional painter of the time, Qiu Ying probably produced his works for a certain group of intended audience in accordance with a variety of ideas and needs. With this presupposition this thesis regards Qiu Ying’s works and the imitations of such as the products responding the demands of the art market in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. Through an analysis of the subject matter and composition of the paintings, this thesis reveals the sentimental values held by the immortal landscape paintings for their possessors. / Depicting the dwellings of deities, immortal landscape paintings can be identified as a sub-genre of landscape paintings and are hardly distinct from other landscape paintings. The immortal landscape paintings by Qiu Ying can be classified into five types in terms of visual elements, including: I) particular deities; II) Taoist adepts practicing alchemy; III) historical figures awaiting respectfully for ascending to celestial realms; IV) Peach Blossom Spring, the Chinese equivalent of utopia; and V) scenes imbued with literati spirit. / Of these five types of immortal landscape paintings, examples from three are selected to demonstrate their different functionalities in Ming society; immortal landscape paintings portraying particular deities were created for festive occasions, while those depicting Taoist alchemy and literati figures offered reassurance on the quest for immortality and implied reclusive spirit respectively. Through a detailed investigation this thesis illustrates that immortal landscape paintings were produced to serve a variety of functions, to convey different messages, and to accommodate various needs in Ming society, thus testifying the close association between paintings, objects of utility and the occasions they are created for. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 楊晉宜. / "2012年8月". / "2012 nian 8 yue". / Thesis (M.Phil.)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2012. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 105-122). / Electronic reproduction.
