Authentic heroes : existentialism and film noirClayton, Leigh January 1996 (has links)
Film exhibits an existential time structure. It presents characters and events in the present moment and as the film progresses the future of the characters is built from their past within the film. Characterisation in film differs from that of the novel primarily in that characters are seen as they become what they are through their actions. In the novel a character is already fixed. Film also differs from theatre in that the differing use of space allows for a more intimate acting style on the part of the actor and more involvement on the part of the viewer. Film noir, in particular, manifests existential themes in its plot lines and characterisation, e.g. alienation, anxiety and the developmental nature of personality. A number of theorists have attempted to define film noir and to account for its distinctive look. These include David Bordwell, Borde and Chaumeton and Christine Gledhill. So far no definition has successfully accounted for all the features present in these films. An existential analysis offers a new way to approach this problem. Due to its distinctive use of philosophical themes film noir constitutes a separate and continuing genre. A noir paradigm can be established by isolating these philosophical themes and the stylistic methods which express them. This can be used as a criterion to identify noir films. Noirs can be divided into different periods by identifying the dominant theme of various decades. These reflect the social conditions of the time as well as popular response to existential philosophers, for instance, Sartre and Nietzsche who have both been considerable popularised. In addition noir can be seen as a response to restrictive Hollywood practices.

Obra americana de Josep Lluís SertFreixa Janariz, Jaume 21 December 1993 (has links)
La hipótesis de este trabajo es que la obra americana del arquitecto Josep Lluis Sert (1902-1983) aparentemente homogénea, tiene tres etapas distintas, caracterizadas por la evolución de los intereses formales de su autor.La primera es la de atención predominante al envoltorio o superficie del edificio, con dos periodos denominados, respectivamente, "la piel gruesa" y "la piel delgada". La segunda es la de utilización extensiva de la fragmentación del volumen del edificio para lograr valores de escala humana. La tercera es la de una búsqueda de control de la configuración de los espacios con utilización de trazados proporcionales y geometrías puras para los espacios más singulares.El estudio parte del inventario de unos 30 edificios proyectados entre 1955 y 1980 en la oficina de Sert en Cambridge, Massachusetts. Analiza, a lo largo de 4 capítulos, 417 páginas escritas y más de 240 ilustraciones, los más significativos de aquellos edificios, situándolos en contexto y justificando en cada caso su pertenencia a una etapa determinada. Además de los capítulos, reúne en cuatro apéndices una reseña diacrónica de temas complementarios: contexto americano, clientes, colaboradores y, finalmente, ideas. Ello permite la lectura del contenido a dos velocidades. La fuente principal de documentación la constituye la propia experiencia del autor, colaborador durante más de doce años del maestro Sert, a la cual se une material original elaborado a partir de 1983.

Efter examen : 24 småskollärarinnors berättelser 1952-1954 / After the Exam : Essays by 24 primary school teachers in 1952-1954Nilsson, Ethel January 2013 (has links)
Uppsatsen bygger på den vandringsdagbok som skrevs under 1952-1954 av 24 nyutexaminerade småskollärarinnor från Norrköpings småskoleseminarium. De hade enats om att skriva brev i dagboksform omfattande tre sidor brevtext och sedan låta boken cirkulera runt till samtliga författare. Boken skulle i första hand spegla deras arbete som lärarinnor och viktiga delar av deras privatliv. För några år sedan skänktes böckerna, 23 av 25, till Arbetets museum i Norrköping. Jag har tagit del av breven som omfattar lärarinnornas första arbetsår och försökt analysera deras arbete, privatliv, föreningsliv och deras hemligheter som det speglas i vandringsdagboken. De flesta anställdes bara på korta vikariat. En tredjedel förlovade eller gifte sig under det första året och några födde barn. Umgänget bestod av nya kolleger och av kontakt med gamla vänner från seminarietiden. De intresserade sig mycket litet för aktuella politiska, kulturella eller sociala problem. Vissa frågor, privata eller i skolan, behandlas inte i brevtexterna. / My essay is a result of an investigation of letters written in a diary between 1952 and 1954 by 24 primary school teachers who had just finished their final exam in the College of Education in Norrköping, Sweden during the summer of 1952. They had promised each other to write letters of three pages in a diary and to let the book circulate between all the participators. The letters should include the experience of their work as schoolteachers but also important parts of their private lives. The books, 23 of 25 in all, were donated to the Arbetets museum in Norrköping a few years ago. I have read the letters and made an effort to analyse their educational work, their private lives, their community activities and their secrets as found in the texts of the diary. The teachers were employed for some months or for one or two terms. One third of them was engaged or married during the first year and a few gave birth to children. Their intimate friends consisted of schoolteachers but they also kept contact with their old acquaintances from the College of Education. They took little interest in the political, cultural or social problems during the period I have studied. Certain questions of private nature were not discussed in the diary letters.

Previous issue date: 2014 / Resumo: A década de 1950 é um dos momentos-chave da história da música popular brasileira. Nesse período, diferentes ramos da incipiente indústria cultural se modernizam e começam a se articular de modo mais orgânico. Além disso, recrudesce a segmentação da produção musical, formando-se audiências específicas para cada gênero e estilo em circulação nos principais meios de comunicação. É nesse contexto que surge o Trio Surdina, conjunto ligado num primeiro instante a um programa de rádio que tencionava reproduzir a sonoridade e o ambiente intimista das pequenas boates que então proliferavam na zona sul do Rio de Janeiro. Sua produção se insere na chamada era da "Alta Fidelidade" - tradução literal de High-Fidelity, mais conhecida pela abreviação Hi-Fi -, um momento marcado pela introdução de novos suportes, equipamentos e técnicas de gravação no âmbito da indústria fonográfica. A partir do estudo dos elementos e procedimentos constituintes das performances registradas nos LPs do Trio Surdina, este trabalho investiga em que medida a sonoridade do conjunto informa a existência de uma nova sensibilidade auditiva, de um novo "ouvido social" que se configura entre as décadas de 1940 e 1950, ligado no caso a uma fração da classe média que esteve no centro da vida sociocultural da zona sul carioca. Conforme indicam os discursos da época, certos agentes sociais estavam em busca de um tipo de música mais intimista, "moderna" e de "bom gosto", pautada pela economia de elementos, pelo tratamento "suave" e por uma "técnica aprimorada" de interpretação. A sonoridade concebida pelo Trio Surdina parecia corresponder a tais expectativas, destacando-se no segmento dos chamados "conjuntos de boîte". Em síntese, procurou-se compreender de que modo as obras musicais traduzem e condensam em suas estruturas experiências estéticas, sociais e históricas mais amplas. Nessa direção, destacou-se, ao mesmo tempo, o conteúdo propriamente original e específico da produção do Trio Surdina, isto é, aquilo que, nas músicas, escapa tanto aos padrões e convenções de estilo, quanto aos valores e juízos intrínsecos aos discursos do seu tempo, permanecendo em estado de potência como possibilidades expressivas elaboradas a partir da linguagem da música instrumental / Abstract: The 1950s are one of the key moments in the history of Brazilian popular music. At that time, different branches of the incipient cultural industry modernize and begin to articulate in a more organic way. Moreover, there is an increased segmentation of music production, emerging specific audiences for each style in the main media. It is in that context that is formed Trio Surdina, a musical group associated initially to a radio program that intended to reproduce the sonority and the atmosphere of small nightclubs which then proliferated in the southern area of Rio de Janeiro. The group¿s production is closely associated with an innovation of the recording industry at that time, the "High Fidelity", better known by the abbreviation "Hi-Fi". From the formal study of the Trio Surdina¿s work, this thesis investigates how the sonority of this musical group reflects a new "social listening", which seems to emerge between the 1940s and the 1950s linked to a fraction of the middle class that was in the center of social and cultural life of the southern area of Rio de Janeiro. As indicated by discourses of that time, certain social agents were looking for a kind of more intimate, "modern" and "tasteful" music, characterized by the economy of elements, "soft" treatment and a "refined technique" of interpretation. The sonority conceived by Trio Surdina seemed to correspond to such expectations, especially in the segment of the so-called "boîte groups." In short, this research aims to understand how the music of Trio Surdina translates and condenses into its structures aesthetics, social and historical experiences. At the same time, we emphasize the original and specific content of the production of Trio Surdina; in other words, the content that goes beyond the standards and stylistic conventions, as well as the intrinsic values and judgments to the discourses of that time, remaining as potential expressive possibilities elaborated from instrumental music¿s language / Doutorado / Música, Teoria, Criação e Prática / Doutor em Música
