Bring to light some thinkers who reflect on time, memory, myth, tragic and poetry that we have to tell us to outline as man sees the flow or interiority that time in your consciousness. Jim Morrison's poetry becomes a revelation that moment in which consciousness sees the flow of time in its interiority and shows continuity in anguish and identities. The revelation of a transcendent term becomes an illumination which aims to immanence, that is, the eternal now and what it can reveal itself in its duration. The historical reality is loaded and then builds images with mythological content profiling dreamily walking and the progress of actions, therefore, poetry imbued with allegorical images the capture and visualize, breaking standards and implementing utopian conceptions, opening doors and can outline a new ethos. Within this allegorical conception to Walter Benjamin, the historian has hidden the awakening of gift of the past with the now knowledgeability in an immediate correspondence with the redemption of history. According to Marcelo Marques myth acts ethically in human existence by its poetic force, the human making it possible thus demystify Jim Morrison in his poetry that reveals his anguish, show a more human face who sought redemption through poetry. Understanding this search on your "moment of now" at this intersection and past his poetic recall the world is opening doors to redemption of history, as glimpsed like lightning in the dark night the connection of past and present experiences in the eternal now. In his tragic poetry Jim Morrison reveals their looks, conflicts, unreasonable and his misfortune that are contemporary, as in Baudelaire, Rimbaud and other artists, with the gift of modern society. Poetry as crossing times becomes the wild eye and the tragic awareness that awakens the instant of now, allowing the redemption of continuity identities and anguish in the heart of the story. / Essa dissertação busca revelar através da poesia de James Douglas Morrison, mais conhecido por ter se tornado um mito como vocalista da banda norte-americana The Doors na década de sessenta, o dilema de seus conflitos de homem histórico e homem mitológico em sua busca trágica de atravessar para outro lado, ou seja, uma visão diferenciada da visão hegemônica da sociedade, em uma reconciliação como sujeito histórico. Trazemos à tona um pouco dos pensadores que refletem sobre o tempo, memória, mito, trágico e poesia. O que têm a nos dizer para delinearmos como o homem encara o fluxo ou interioridade desse tempo em sua consciência. A poesia de Jim Morrison se torna uma revelação desse instante em que a consciência encara o fluxo do tempo em sua interioridade e mostra sua continuidade em angustias e identidades. A revelação de um termo de transcendência passa a ser uma iluminação que se propõe à imanência, ou seja, ao eterno agora e o que ele em si pode nos revelar em sua duração. A realidade histórica se carrega e se constrói então de imagens com teor mitológico que perfilam oniricamente o caminhar e o desenrolar das ações, portanto a poesia imbuída de imagens alegóricas as capturam e as visualizam, quebrando padrões e implantando concepções utópicas, abrindo portas, podendo delinear um novo ethos. Dentro dessa concepção alegórica, para Walter Benjamim, o historiador tem o dom de despertar o escondido do passado com o agora da cognoscibilidade em uma correspondência imediata com a redenção da história. De acordo com Marcelo Marques o mito atua eticamente na existência humana pela sua força poética, tornando possível o humano, assim desmitificar Jim Morrison em sua poesia que revela suas angustias mostrando um rosto mais humano que buscou sua redenção através da poesia. Compreender essa busca em seu “instante do agora”, no cruzamento do presente e passado em sua rememorização poética do mundo é abrir portas para redenção da história, pois vislumbrou como relâmpago na noite escura a ligação de vivências do passado e do presente no eterno agora. Em sua poesia trágica, Jim Morrison revela seus olhares, conflitos, desmedidas e seu infortúnio que são contemporâneos, como em Baudelaire, Rimbaud e outros artistas, com o presente da sociedade moderna. A poesia como cruzamento de tempos torna-se o olho selvagem e a consciência trágica que desperta no instante do agora, possibilitando a redenção da continuidade de identidades e da angustia no coração da história.

Atmosphères ressenties, formes empruntées : une lecture ethno-anthropologique et ontologique de l'oeuvre de Jasper Morrison / Atmospheres felt, shapes borrowed : an ethno-anthropological and ontological reading of the work by Jasper Morrison

Mauderli, Laurence 25 January 2016 (has links)
Cette thèse met en avant une lecture ethno-anthropologique et ontologique de l’œuvre du designer anglais Jasper Morrison.Le parti pris de lier l’ethno-anthropologie (André Leroi-Gourhan) et l’ontologie (Martin Heidegger) à la production morrisonienne, en l’occurrence de meubles, d’objets, d’images et de textes, nous permet de faire émerger quelque chose d’inédit quant à cette figure majeure du design contemporain. En effet, outre le fait que cette thèse examine la tangibilité des liens entre l’esprit et la matière, entre l’homme, l’objet et la civilisation, elle montre aussi à quel point le designer est relié à son contexte d’existence, qu’il crée ou recrée ad infinitum à la façon du design. Ainsi, cette thèse de structure interprétative, met-elle au jour de manière démonstrative la mécanique morrisonienne, qui commence par un travail poético-expérimental conditionné par le désir d’un affranchissement du cadre typologique pour évoluer rapidement vers un respect manifeste de celui-ci. Habité par la question du home, ce « constructeur du nouveau monde » qu’est Morrison, c’est ce que cette thèse démontre, œuvre à travers un design que l’on pourrait qualifier “au-delà du visible” ou dont on pourrait dire qu’il a tendance à se fondre dans la panoplie des formes plutôt qu’à s’en détacher. En effet, le designer, charmé par les « artefacts sans artistes » tente de se rapprocher de ces productions anonymes cherchant à retraiter leur substance, rejouant par le design les ressentis thoreauviens à Walden. Enfin, ce que cette thèse aborde et c’est là encore un nouvel horizon qu’elle ouvre sur la lecture de l’œuvre de Jasper Morrison, c’est la question de l’atmosphère comme démarche et/ou étude prospective du designer dont la production renvoie à une forme de vigilance existentielle de l’homme et par voie de conséquence de l’objet dans le monde contemporain. / This research aims towards an ethno-anthropological and ontological reading of the work by the British designer Jasper Morrison.Linking an ethno-anthropological (André Leroi-Gourhan) and ontological perspective (Martin Heidegger) to Jasper Morrison’s production, that is furniture, objects, images and texts enables us to bring out something entirely new contributing in a significant way to our comprehension of this major figure of contemporary design. Not only does this thesis examine the tangibility of the ties between mind and material, between man, object and civilisation, but it also shows the extent to which the designer is connected to his context of existence, which he creates or recreates infinitely through design. In other words, this thesis, of interpretative structure, reveals the mechanics of Morrison’s practice, a practice which starts with a poetic-experimental approach, conditioned by the desire to liberate itself from the typological constraints, and evolves quickly towards an obvious respect of those very constraints. Morrison, this « new world constructor » who is obsessed by the concept of home, works towards a design which could be called “beyond visible” or, one which shows a tendency to blend into the panoply of shapes rather than detach itself from it. Indeed the designer, who is charmed by « artefacts without artists », attempts to get closer to these anonymous productions, trying to re-treat their substance and thus replaying Thoreauvian feelings in Walden. Finally, this thesis offers another new horizon towards the reading of Jasper Morrison’s production. It deals with the question of atmosphere as a line of approach and/or a prospective study by the designer whose production refers to a form of existential vigilance of man and consequently of the objet in our contemporary world.

Representations of motherhood in Erdrich’s Love Medicine and Morisson’s Beloved

Hallström, Linnea January 2017 (has links)
This thesis is a comparative analysis of the African American author Toni Morrison’s novel Beloved and the Native American writer Louise Erdrich’s novel Love Medicine. The focus of this essay will be the theme motherhood. A feminist theoretical and critical approach are used throughout the thesis and focus is laid upon the third wave of feminism which: “borrows from post-structural and contemporary gender and race theories (…) to expand on marginalized populations’ experiences.” (Purdue OWL). In the novel Love Medicine the characters Marie and Lulu are examined. Both characters are strong independent women and through them the author challenges the Western-European image of motherhood, family and female characteristics. In the novel Beloved, the characters Sethe and Baby Suggs are studied with two focus points. The first is the impact that motherhood can have on the development of the self and how Morrison shows this through the character Sethe. The second focus point is the effects that come from slavery and mainly the effects that can come from the denial of motherhood. These novels manage to challenge the western norm of motherhood through different aspects and in different ways.

Komunita v knihách Toni Morrison / Community in Toni Morrison's Fiction

Brzobohatá, Michaela January 2012 (has links)
English Abstract Toni Morrison deals with the topic of community to a greater or lesser extent in all of her books. Being influenced by her own upbringing, she has always been aware of the role community plays in one's life and its influence on an individual. Community can both save you and forsake you. The nature of black community has been changing, according to Morrison, and so has her view of it. Her writing career reflects these alternations, revealing a significant change in her perspective. Looking at her first novel, The Bluest Eye, published in 1970, her third novel written seven years later, Song of Solomon, and her seventh novel, Paradise, written in 1998, this thesis traces the way her position alters throughout the years. Being opposed to both radical separatism and blind assimilation, Morrison first proposed return to traditional African values as the possible cure for the black community destroyed by the forces of capitalist society. Later in her career, however, Morrison changes her ideology and suggests as a remedy a community that does not exclude the unworthy, but is open, caring, and inclusive. By evolving from individualism to individuality, communities that will include everyone can be created.
