This thesis aims to explore the c.7,500 exhibition curated by Lucy Lippard as a culminating point for Lippard's activism in the arts, and more specifically, women's representation in conceptualism. Understanding Lippard's political involvement within the arts and the networks established before c.7,500 further illuminates the activist approach of an all-women's art show. Throughout Lippard's career, she has advanced the exposure of women artists through her curatorial endeavors and written criticism. Her Numbers series is continuously referenced today though little documentation of each show has been easily accessible. By looking at ephemeral artifacts and artworks from c.7,500 I aim to establish a collective analysis of the show in relation to second-wave feminism while simultaneously highlighting the significance of women in conceptualism. The unique nature of c.7,500 is best understood through the experimental index cards used to curate and organize the exhibition. Analyzing select physical items from the exhibition highlights both the material elements in the show while also lending women artists perspective on an array of topics such as labor, domesticity, land, space, and time. The synthesizing of activism, art, curation, and writing are exemplified in c.7,500 which consisted of artists from a variety of statuses. Lippard's main objective in her practice was to expose the works of underrepresented artists and through this analysis, I aim to do the same. Discussing selected artworks from the exhibition I connect feminist activism and ideology to the experiences and concerns of women artists creating conceptual artworks in the 1970s.

This study examines Asian American identity construction in drama exercised by Asian American theatre companies on the mainland from the 1970s to the present. I use the term “wave” for the classification of the plays to illuminate artistic movements. The plays are classified into four waves: the first wave in the 1970s, the second wave in the 1980s, the third wave in the 1990s and early 2000s, and the fourth wave since the 2000s. The characters’ self-identification in these plays varies over time in response to historical, socio-political, economic, and cultural circumstances. Through chronological exploration, this dissertation articulates that Asian American self-identification and representation have developed from a rigid identity pursuing a single, coherent identity to a fluid identity beyond the binary frame by embracing other contingent and salient factors of identity. In addition, my dissertation illuminates that more dramatists use non-realist styles, especially in the third and the fourth waves, to reflect the American perception of anti-Asian racism and Asian American internalized racism. The illustration of Asian American dynamics that strive to form and evolve their identities challenges racial discourses and myths, opposing stereotypes.

This dissertation traces the history of a diagram. The diagram shows four circles of gradually diminishing sizes, lodged one inside the other, like the layers of a circular or spherical body. For a group of artists, curators, architects, and activists centered around Moderna Museet in Stockholm between the mid-1960s and the mid-1970s, the diagram represented a new type of museum: a museological Information Center modeled on the computer, operating as a site for radically democratic social experiments. The four layers stood for different functions: information capture, processing, interface, storage; or, put differently: social spaces and media resources, workshop floors, exhibition facilities, collection. Through close readings of a series of exhibitions and institutional projects in Sweden, the US, and France, this dissertation follows the development of this diagram: its prehistory and formulation, its different implementations, and its direct and indirect effects. It studies Moderna Museet’s original, unrealized project for Kulturhuset in Stockholm, according to which the museum should project its dynamic energies across the city center, serving as a “catalyst for the active forces in society”. It discusses the museum’s confrontation with digital technologies in the late 1960s, through pioneering museological organizations such as the Museum Computer Network in New York. It analyzes the exhibition formats developed in correspondence with the notion of the museum as a “vast experimental laboratory” and a “broadcasting station”: the exhibition as critical information pattern, as tele-commune. And it studies the diagram’s afterlife as one of the models informing the Centre Pompidou in Paris, during that project’s early phases. The Exhibitionary Complex reads these endeavors and visions as attempts to devise a critical understanding of the exhibitionary apparatus in relation to new information environments and media systems. It sheds light on a largely forgotten aspect of the exhibitionary, museological, and cultural history of the late twentieth century, in Sweden and internationally. But it also seeks to establish new models for grasping the exhibition’s singularity and potentials as a cultural and media technological form, in relation to the emergence of new information networks, as they exert increasing control over social, cultural, and political existence. / Space, Power, Ideology

Neste trabalho propõe-se explorar conceitos de Física Moderna e Contemporânea (FMC) a partir de fenômenos físicos presentes na física estelar, utilizando o software Stellarium como ferramenta no desenvolvimento de atividades voltadas à construção coletiva de um diagrama Hertzsprung-Russell (diagrama H-R), que é um diagrama muito importante da astrofísica para classificação das estrelas. À luz da teoria de Lev S. Vygotsky, é proposto que os alunos trabalhem em grupos, de forma colaborativa, tanto na obtenção de parâmetros astrofísicos estelares a partir do software, quanto na construção do diagrama H-R. O uso do software, ao mesmo tempo em que serve de ferramenta no processo de mediação segundo a teoria Vygotskyana, também cumpre o papel de inserir o uso da tecnologia em sala de aula como recurso didático. Espectro eletromagnético, radiação de corpo negro, quantização da energia, luminosidade, cor e temperatura em função do comprimento de onda das radiações, são alguns dos conceitos de FMC abordados. Conceitos estes que constam nos programas nas disciplinas de Física das escolas, mas nem sempre são abordados ou em muitas ocasiões abordados de forma isolada ou descontextualizada. O trabalho foi desenvolvido em uma turma de 31 alunos do Segundo Ano do Ensino Médio no Colégio Estadual Piratini, em Porto Alegre – RS durante seis encontros (três de 100 minutos e três de 150 minutos), entre outubro e dezembro de 2016. Como produto deste trabalho é apresentado uma seqüência didática ao professor de Física com a perspectiva de sugerir possibilidades de abordagens dos conceitos de FMC através da astronomia e da astrofísica em um processo coletivo, mediado pelo uso de softwares, em especial, o Stellarium. / In this study is proposed to explore the concepts of Modern and Contemporary Physics through physical phenomena present on stellar physics, using the Stellarium software as a tool on the development of activities related to the collective construction of a Hertzsprung-Russell diagram (H-R diagram), which is a very important diagram in Astrophysics for the classification of stars. Based on Lev S. Vygotsky’s theory, it is proposed that the students work collaboratively in groups, both in obtaining astrophysical parameters of the stars using the software, as in the construction of a H-R diagram. According to the Vygotsky’s theory, the software can help on the process of mediation, while it also fultfils the role of bringing technology into classroom as a learning resource. Electromagnetic spectrum, blackbody radiation, energy quantization, luminosity, color and temperature, according to radiation wavelength are some of the Modern and Contemporary Physics concepts approached. These concepts are included on the program of Physics at schools, but they sometimes are not taught, or in many occasions are studied in an isolated, decontextualized manner. The project was conducted on a High School second grade class with 31 students at Colégio Estadual Piratini, in Porto Alegre – RS, during six classes (three of 100 minutes and three of 150 minutes), between October and December, 2016. As a result of this study, a didactical sequence is presented to the Physics teacher intending to suggest possible ways of approaching the Modern and Contemporary Physics concepts through Astronomy and Astrophysics, in a collective process, intermediated by the use of softwares, specially the Stellarium software.

Dans cette thèse de littérature comparée nous avons essayé de montrer l’influence de la poésie moderne française issue de Baudelaire sur trois poètes contemporains : Nâder Nâderpour, Hassan Honarmandi et Mohammad Ali Eslâmi-e Nodouchane. Ils ont fait tous les trois leurs études à la Sorbonne. Depuis la période dite Machroutiat (ou Révolution constitutionnelle) des poètes modernes comme Nimâ ont écrit des poèmes en vers libres sur le modèle français. Les Iraniens, toujours attachés aux formes classiques, n’aimaient pas les vers libres. Le rôle de ces trois poètes a été de préparer le terrain pour que le lectorat persan accepte le vers libre. Ces poètes sont définis comme des poètes semi-traditionnels et en prenant des thèmes et des images puisés dans la poésie moderne française, ils ont œuvré pour que le vers libre soit bien apprécié en Iran. Ils ont choisi, dans la plupart de leurs œuvres, les quatrains continus qui sont une forme à mi-chemin entre les formes classiques et le vers libre. En choisissant les quatrains continus, ils ont essayé d’utiliser les thèmes et les images qui viennent principalement de la poésie de Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Valéry, Prévert…. Ces poètes sont considérés comme un « pont » par lequel les Iraniens passent de la poésie classique à la poésie moderne persane. Ils ont parfois fait des changements dans la disposition des rimes sur le modèle français. Parfois aussi ils ont intégré des tercets, des quintils ou des sizains dans leurs quatrains, ce qui peut être considéré comme une autre influence française. C’est la première fois que ces trois auteurs iraniens font l’objet d’une telle étude comparée qui propose en annexe un dossier de traductions inédites. / In this thesis, we have tried to show the influence of modern French poetry on three contemporary Iranians poets: Nâder Nâderpour, Hassan Honarmandi and Mohammad Ali Eslâmai-e Nodouchane. They have studied at Sorbonne University. Since the period of Mashroutiat or constitutional monarchy the modern poets like Nimâ have written the poems in “vers libres” following the French models. The Iranians, always attached to classical forms, didn’t like this form of “vers libres”. The role of theses three poets has been to prepare the ground to make accept “le vers libre” by the Iranian readership. These poets are grouped in semi-traditional group and they use the images and the themes of the modern French poetry, they have prepared the ground so that “le vers libres” will be well accepted in Iran.They have chosen, in the most of their poems, the continual quatrains “les quatrains continus”. They have tried to use the themes and the images that come principally from the poetry of Baudelaire, Rimbaud, Verlaine, Valéry, Prévert….These poets are considered like à “bridge” by which the Iranian cross the classical poetry to arrive to modern Persian poetry.They have sometimes changed the place of the rhymes following the French models. Sometimes they have integrated the “tercets”, “quintils” and “sizains” in their poetry among their “quatrains” and this can be considered as a French influence.

Queer artists have engaged archives throughout modern and contemporary American art, but art historical discourse of their work has centered the writing of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault to theorize these spaces without considering archival scholarship. This text takes up Gabriel Martinez’s Archive series as a case study to critique archival selection theory and better understand how prejudice has affected the preservation of queer folx’s collections. Martinez’s series is situated amongst other Western artworks that center archival records and queer themes throughout the last century. This section places his artwork in dialogue with other artists for whom the archive is the subject of their artwork. The artworks detailed exemplify the multiplicity of ways that queer folx critique and interpret the histories preserved in these institutions. Following this survey of art is an analysis of how archival records are selected for preservation and the inherent subjectivity of this task. Pedagogical writing on archival selection by Frank Boles, Richard Cox, and James O’Toole are consulted to better understand how archivists working in the field are taught to handle this type of work. Most of their writing is focused on traditional archives and fails to articulate the challenges facing counterarchives, spaces formed to compensate for the erasure of queer persons in traditional institutions. This review of archival scholarship ends with a critique of how queer counterarchives have fallen short of their inclusive aims. The final section of this text is dedicated to a close study of Martinez’s Archive series. His photographs document the Harry R. Eberlin photograph collection and the John J. Wilcox, Jr. Archives in Philadelphia. The historical context of the Eberlin collection and the founding of its host repository are presented in conjunction with Archive series because Martinez’s compositions are inseparable from these histories. Philadelphia queer culture in the 1970s and 1980s is revealed through the retelling of these histories and by examining who was visualized in the images themselves. These images of bars and events simultaneously reveal the gender and racial disparity of patronage within these spaces and exemplify long-standing tensions in the city’s queer spaces. Lastly, this text posits a practice called “pseudo-processing” where artists document and preserve facsimiles of archival records to question the divisions of archival labor from that of an artist performing comparable tasks. / Art History

A sociedade vem questionando os conteúdos presentes no currículo de ciências, quanto ao \"por que\" e \"para que\" ensiná-los. Isso ocorre também dentro do ambiente escolar. Atualmente, o ensino de ciências tem acontecido de maneira bastante desconexa da realidade de nossos alunos, afinal, este ensino não tem apresentado inovações ou trazido temas atualizados para as discussões que ocorrem no ambiente da sala de aula. Apresentamos neste trabalho uma proposta de atualização curricular do ensino de ciências através da inserção de tópicos de Física Moderna e Contemporânea, com base na proposta curricular inserida nos PCNEM e PCNEM+ para a disciplina de Física. Nossa proposta consiste em uma seqüência didática de um curso de Física das Radiações voltado ao Ensino Médio, onde se utilizam as noções de \"marcadores\" e \"marcadores-estruturantes\", desenvolvidas no contexto da teoria da Transposição Didática, para delinear as atividades que acreditamos serem essenciais para que esta nova seqüência de ensino seja exeqüível. / The society has questioned what should be taught in science learning, including both \"why\" and \"what for\" some subjects should be taught. This kind of discussion occurs also inside the educational environment. Presently the science teaching is not connected to the reality of the student, because teaching has not related to scientific innovations, no updated themes are discussed in the classroom. In this work the curricular updating is inserted through the inclusion of Modern and Contemporary Physics topics, as suggested in the PCNEM and PCNEM+. This proposal consists of a didactic sequence of a course on Radiations Physics appropriated to the high school teaching. The concept of \"markers\" and \"structurating-markers\" is discussed within the Didactic Transposition Theory. \"Markers\" are established through the proposed activities, which are supposed to be the essential ones to the learning sequence.
