Auto-Tune e humor no Youtube / -Haroldo França Rebouças Neto 18 October 2018 (has links)
Esta dissertação intenciona investigar a construção do cômico, mediado pela tecnologia, em vídeos remix publicados na plataforma YouTube. Os trabalhos analisados propõem o riso a partir da manipulação de tempo e pitch do áudio de vídeos virais, possibilitada por softwares como Auto-Tune e Melodyne. Entendemos remix conforme autores como Lev Manovich, Eduardo Navas e Lawrence Lessig, que afirmam que vivemos em uma \"Cultura Remix\", uma época que tem como base cultural o sampling, atividade que consiste na troca inteligente entre fragmentos de diversas mídias. Analisaremos a emergência do riso nesse contexto, a partir de reapropriações de materiais preexistentes na rede. Autores como Henri Bergson e Michail Bakhtin nos fornecem o suporte conceitual para investigarmos o riso como um recurso dramático e da cultura tanto na vida cotidiana quanto nas plataformas digitais, que facilitaram, por um lado, o acesso e reciclagem de \"detritos midiáticos\", e, por outro, potencializaram as possibilidades de manipulação desses materiais / This dissertation intends to investigate the construction of the comic, mediated by technology, in video remix published on the YouTube platform. The analyzed works propose the laughter from the manipulation of time and pitch of the audio of viral videos, made possible by softwares like Auto-Tune and Melodyne. We understand remix by authors such as Lev Manovich, Eduardo Navas and Lawrence Lessig, who claim that we live in a \"Culture Remix\", an era that is based on cultural sampling, an activity that consists of the intelligent exchange between fragments of various media. We will analyze the emergence of laughter in this context, from re-appropriation of pre-existing materials in the network. Authors such as Henri Bergson and Michail Bakhtin provide us with conceptual support for investigating laughter as a dramatic and cultural resource in everyday life as well as on digital platforms that facilitated access to and recycling of \"media debris\" on the one hand, and , on the other, potentialized the possibilities of manipulation of these materials.

O riso trágico - ou sobre como pensar com um chapéu de bobo / The tragic laugh - or how to think with a silly hatLuiz Antônio Callegari Coppi 13 July 2016 (has links)
O que motiva este texto é investigar quais as possibilidades, as características e os efeitos de um modo de pensar que tenha o humor como ponto de partida. O riso costuma não estar onde a crença na Verdade absoluta aparece, o que o dissocia, tradicionalmente, de categorizações do real cujo horizonte é tal Verdade. Não obstante, até que se creia tê-la alcançado, não raro, o humor surge como ferramenta - ora ridicularizando aquilo que foge à ordem vigente; ora satirizando a própria ordem, mas em nome de uma que teria, ela sim, fundamentos transcendentes; diante do que se pretende absoluto, porém, o riso cala e a atmosfera daí decorrente é séria. Fundamentados na Filosofia Trágica, conforme a propõe o filósofo Friedrich Nietzsche, contudo, procuramos descrever um outro cenário. Para o alemão, o real é convenção, imagem, e qualquer discurso que pretenda dar conta dessa realidade acaba sempre por ser muito mais indicativo de quem o produz do que, de fato, daquilo que existe. Compreender a existência como convenção, então, nos levaria a uma forma de pensar animada não mais por uma vontade de descoberta, de desnudamento de uma pretensa Verdade, mas por algo próximo ao que chamaremos de uma \"vontade de jogo\", isto é, uma disposição mais inclinada a reconhecer que aquilo a que nos dedicamos de corpo e alma não tem um fundo transcendente, mas é uma invenção e, como tal, em alguma medida, pode ser alterada, trocada. Interpretar dessa maneira aquilo que é pensado sugere que, independentemente do conteúdo do que se pensa, tem-se um fazer diferente, embasado não mais em afetos que temem descolar-se de uma Verdade única ou desobedecer a ela, mas sim em uma disposição humorística alinhada àquilo que o escritor Luigi Pirandello chama de \"sentimento do contrário\", isto é, uma paixão compadecida por ver no mundo apenas criação, qualquer que seja ela. O humor como ponto de largada para o pensar, por fim, parece-nos capaz de desmobilizar aquilo que se pensa de uma arrogância totalitária que se pretende senhora da Verdade. / The impetus for this work is to contemplate the possibilities, characteristics and effects of a way of thinking that has humor as its starting point. Laughter usually is not where the belief in absolute truth appears, which is dissociated, traditionally, from categorizations of reality whose horizon is that truth. Nevertheless, until one believes to have reached it, frequently, humor arises as an instrument sometimes mocking what escapes from order; sometimes satirizing its own order, but in the name of one that would have transcendent foundations; in the face of what is intended absolute, however, laughter silences, and the atmosphere resulted from it is serious. Founded on Tragic Philosophy, as Friedrich Nietzsche proposes, nonetheless, we try to describe another scenario. For this philosopher, what is real is a convention, an image, and whichever speech that intends to handle this reality ends up always being more indicative of the one that produces it than, in fact, from what exists. Comprehending existence as a convention, then, leads us to a way of thinking motivated not anymore by a will of discovery, or by a desire of unveiling an alleged truth, but rather by something close to what we will call a will of game, which is a willingness more tilted to recognize that to what we dedicate our hearts and minds does not have a transcendent foundation, but is actually an invention and, as such, in some level, can be altered or replaced. This interpretation suggests that, independent from the substance of what one thinks, we have a different making, built not anymore in affections that fear to detach themselves from a unique truth or that fear to disobey it, yet in a humorous tendency aligned to what the writer Luigi Pirandello calls sentiment of the opposite, which is a passion sympathized on account of seeing only creation in the world, whatever that may be. Humor as a starting point for thinking, then, seems to be capable of demobilizing what is thought as a totalitarian arrogance which intends itself as the owner of truth.

Previous issue date: 2018-02-22 / This research aims at reanalyzing an interpretative analysis between Edival Lourenço 's work
Centopeia de Neon and some paintings of avant - garde dadaist and surrealist currents based
on the aesthetic currents of humor, laughter and irony. The choice to make a comparative
study between the novel Centopeia de Neon by Edival Lourenço and some paintings selected
from the cutting edge of Dadaism and Surrealism was due to the fact that these arts present
similarities and establish intertextual relations between the fields of work. As well as the
emphasis attributed to works as a means of breaking with traditional art forms. The current
Dadaist vanguard brings features such as: the critique of capitalism and consumption; the
emphasis on the absurd and the themes and contents that deny the formal logic, with a strong
pessimistic and ironic character, mainly in relation to political events. In this way, we propose
a cultural and social dialogue between the two specific types of artistic manifestations
Painting and Literature. / Esta pesquisa tem como escopo realizar uma analise interpretativa entre a obra A Centopeia
de Neon, de Edival Lourenço e algumas pinturas das correntes vanguardistas dadaísta e
surrealista tendo como base teórica as correntes estéticas do humor, do riso e da ironia. A
escolha por fazer um estudo comparativo entre o romance A Centopeia de Neon, de Edival
Lourenço e algumas pinturas selecionadas/retiradas das correntes de vanguarda Dadaísmo e
Surrealismo se deu por essas artes apresentarem semelhanças e estabelecerem relações
intertextuais entre os campos de trabalho. Assim como o destaque atribuído às obras como
meio de ruptura com as formas de arte tradicionais. A corrente de vanguarda Dadaísta traz
características tais como: a crítica ao capitalismo e ao consumo; a ênfase no absurdo e nos
temas e conteúdos que negam a lógica formal, com um forte caráter pessimista e irônico,
principalmente com relação aos acontecimentos políticos. Deste modo, propomos um diálogo
cultural e social entre os dois tipos específicos de manifestações artísticas Pintura e Literatura.

The Meaningless Laugh: Laughter in Japanese CommunicationHayakawa, Haruko January 2003 (has links)
This thesis explores the functions of laughter in Japanese communication. In orientation it contrasts markedly with previous studies and is the first study to have been based on such a large volume of data. In this paper I have focused on laughter as it serves to maintain a co-operative relationship between the participants in a conversation. I find that in the process of communication, people necessarily have to lay themselves open to others, and in doing so they become conscious of the barrier surrounding and protecting their field, i.e. their �inner world�. I hypothesise that in Japanese at least it is consciousness of this barrier that causes the occurrence of laughter in discourse. In other words, people laugh as part of the process of opening up to others, and also to show their intention to be co-operative. By laughing, people are either confirming that they belong to the same in-group, or they are pretending to belong to the same in-group in order to show co-operation. In my model, laughter is classified: A: Joyful laughter for identifying with the in-group B: Balancing laughter for easing tension C: Laughter as a cover-up. A is also divided into 3 subcategories, B into 3, and C into 2 according to the subject of the utterance and the direction of movement into the protective barrier. Two types of statistical analysis were applied to the data in order to the test the validity of the classification. Keywords: interpersonal communication; laughter; field; barrier; co-operation; joy; balancing; cover-up gender

Satirical InquiryPrescott, Gina Henderson 07 August 2007 (has links)
Satire might not inspire physical action—the physical act of picking up a sign to picket the government—but it moves an audience towards a state of mental action by confronting audiences with the interdictions and iniquities it fears the most. The rhetorical qualities of satire need to be acknowledged to fully understand how satire functions. To look at an example of contemporary satire, like The Onion, and see how it functions as a tool to create knowledge, three concepts can be borrowed from the rhetorical tradition: (1) Plato’s dialectic as a rhetorical model for Donald Griffin’s “Rhetoric of inquiry and provocation” ; (2) Aristotle’s means of persuasion and Han Tzu’s recognition of the imbalanced power-dynamics inherent in discussing dissentient views to see how satire’s audience and its controversial or unmentionable content is inextricably intertwined, making humor a satirist’s primary mean of persuasion; and lastly, (3) the Sophists’ understanding of situational truths and how it informs the cultural standards and institutions that satire contends. A satirist wishes to create, through the use of laughter, a space for questioning the worst qualities of society and humanity, provoking inward reflection in order to challenge the cultural rationalization that informs societal behavior.

Political Cinema: The Historicity of an EncounterArsenjuk, Luka January 2010 (has links)
<p>The basic question of "Political Cinema: The Historicity of an Encounter" is whether or not it is possible to think a concept of political cinema while affirming the autonomous capacities of both cinema as an art and politics as the thought of collective self-determination. Is it, in other words, possible to elaborate a relationship between cinema and politics that would at the same time establish a separation between the two and thus refuse to reduce one to the other. Such a relation of separation is called an encounter. Cinema encounters politics insofar as politics affects it and insofar as cinema can produce certain political effects, but also only insofar as cinema itself is immanently capable of configuring this relationship to politics. Following this conviction, the question of political cinema has to be considered at a distance from questions of genre, where political cinema would be merely one among other cinematic genres, and distinguished from the problem of political instrumentalization of cinema (propaganda). Political cinema refers to real cinematic inventions that happen in relation to processes of human emancipation.</p><p>"Political Cinema" tests this basic conviction through four separate case studies. These case studies are limited and local analyses, which nevertheless cover a broad historical background and are, furthermore, meant as concrete points from which more general theoretical questions can be addressed and formulated. The introductory statement (Chapter 1) sets up the theoretical stakes of the dissertation. Part I analyzes the Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein's appropriation of several elements of laughter - comedy, militant humor, carnival, caricature and satire, etc. - as specifically cinematic means Eisenstein used to bring his films as closely as possible to the revolutionary process of the October Revolution and the break the latter introduced into the history of humanity. Part II of the dissertation (Chapters 3 and 4), presents a discussion (primarily on the example of Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times) of the figure of the worker as a forceful cinematic symbolization of the existence of the modern proletarian masses, through the creation of which, however, cinema does not give up the effective autonomy of its expression. Part III, which consists of an analysis of the work of the Palestinian director Michel Khleifi, shows how the filmmaker's strategy of blurring the boundary between documentary and fiction is an artistic procedure (a cinema of "documentary fiction") that makes visible the complexity of Palestinian historical experience and memory, but does so at a distance from any direct political discourse on the question of Palestine (Chapter 5). And finally, the Conclusion to the dissertation, presents an analysis of the recent Romanian film, which renders visible striking new ideas of political cinema that are, however, produced in the absence of anything more than mere traces of what deserves to be called politics (Chapter 6)</p> / Dissertation

Spasms of the Soul: The Tanganyika Laughter Epidemic in the Age of IndependenceNasser, Latif Shiraz January 2014 (has links)
1962. Tanganyika, East Africa. In a rural boarding school on the shore of Lake Victoria, dozens of adolescent girls began to laugh and cry uncontrollably. After trying to stem these mysterious breakouts for a month and a half, school officials gave up and sent everyone home. As the girls fanned out to their homes across the region, their behaviors spread too. Over 1000 people were affected. Families and governments enlisted all kinds of experts to give them a clue about what was going on. Eventually, an official diagnosis: mass hysteria. About two years after it began, the epidemic petered out. Nobody died. Everybody recovered. / History of Science

Les origines évolutionnistes du rire et de l'humourLégaré, Steven 04 1900 (has links)
Le rire est un comportement humain indiscutablement universel. Abondamment traité par la psychologie et les neurosciences, il demeure néanmoins le laissé-pour-compte de l’anthropologie. Si les connaissances empiriques accumulées à ce jour ont permis de bien le caractériser à des niveaux proximaux d’analyse, la question de son origine évolutionniste est, en contrepartie, souvent évacuée. Or, toute tentative sérieuse de comprendre ce comportement requiert une investigation de sa fonction adaptative et de sa phylogénèse. Le projet entrepris ici consiste en une analyse de cinq hypothèses ultimes sur le rire et l’humour, desquelles sont extraites des prédictions qui sont confrontées à des données empiriques provenant de disciplines diverses. En guise de conclusion, il est tenté de formuler un scénario évolutif qui concilie les différentes hypothèses abordées. / Laughter is a universal and ubiquitous human behavior. Widely investigated by psychology and neuroscience, it is still largely ignored by anthropology. While humor and laughter are well caracterised at proximate levels of explanation, the question of their evolutionary origins remains relatively unexplored. A number of recent hypotheses have yet attempted to shed light on the potential adaptive significance and phylogeny of these behaviors. This project consists of an analysis of five of these ultimate explanations, by confronting their predictions to empirical data from a large array of disciplines. In the end, I propose an evolutionary framework that synthesizes and reconciles these hypotheses.
