Sonorités et résonances du moderne : la question du son des années 1950 à nos jours. / Modernism reconceptualized : the sonic arts from the 1950s to the present

Khazam, Rahma 14 March 2014 (has links)
Le son est souvent qualifié de postmoderne, dans la mesure où les installations sonores associent son et visuels, enfreignant ainsi le principe de la séparation des genres qui constitue l'un des fondements de l'art moderniste. Cependant, dans de nombreux cas, le son manifeste une matérialité et des fonctionnalités relevant du moderne. Cela est vrai dans l'architecture, où l'on retrouve la notion de son moderne associée aux techniques d'isolation sonore pratiquées dans les immeubles modernes des premières décennies du XXème siècle. Ces techniques ont donné lieu à un son qui incarnait l'idée d'efficacité et qui soulignait la maîtrise technique de l'homme sur son environnement physique - autant de caractéristiques de la culture moderne. Il existe d'autres situations dans lesquelles se manifeste le son moderne. L'installation associant le son et les visuels peut dans certains cas être qualifiée de moderne, et dans le cas d'œuvres sonores portant sur les notions de temps et d'espace, nous avons pu identifier une conception de la spatio-temporalité tout à fait moderne. Ce sont autant de domaines qui permettent de déceler l'empreinte du moderne non encore révélée. Car si le récit du moderne dans son ensemble a été raconté de nombreuses fois, ce n'est pas le cas de l'histoire peu connue, mais tout aussi mouvementée, du son moderne - une histoire qui permet de revenir sur la question du moderne, et de révéler son actualité. / Sound installations are generally classified as postmodern: by associating sound and visuals, they infringe the principle of the separation of the genres typifying modernist art. Yet sound can nonetheless manifest a materiality and functionality that tie in with modem ideals. ln architecture for instance, we can identify the notion of modem sound in the context of the soundproofing techniques employed in modernist buildings in the early 20th century. These techniques gave rise to a sound that epitomized the modern idea of efficiency: stripped of any extraneous elements, it encouraged efficient behaviour among its listeners, while underscoring man's technical mastery over his physical environment - yet another modem trait. The notion of modem sound also manifests itself in other situations: certain installation associating sound and visuals can be described as modem, while many sound works addressing the notions of space and time testify to a modem concept of spatio-temporality. The story of modernist has been told many times, but yet to be told is the equally eventful story of modem sound - a narrative that revisits the question of modernism and underscores its relevance today.

'Where does the new come from?' : an ethnography of design performances of 'the new'

Gaspar, Andrea Marques January 2013 (has links)
The core concern of my thesis is with shifting the focus from the description on how innovation is done (predominantly STS accounts of innovation in-the-making) to what designers do with conceptions of innovation. The thesis is based on ethnographic fieldwork within a group of interaction designers of Milan. Despite the different conceptions and traditions of innovation that these designers bring in – the artistic and technological ones – I observed that a design-centered conception of innovation is reproduced, as well as the idea that plans and intentions precede things. However, another key idea of my fieldwork is the importance designers give to imagining things as they might be, rather than focusing on how things are. This is where different models of action, planned and open ones coexist in creative ways: it is these processes that the ethnography details.
