This dissertation deals with the politics of cultural production in documentary film and photography. The axis of contemporary documentary production has shifted significantly, as people of color, women of all races and ethnicities, post-colonial peoples, and gays and lesbians, all of whom were traditional objects of documentary representation, have become active producing subjects. Yet post-structuralist cultural theory, which has significantly influenced film and photography studies, fails to account for, or support, acts of cultural production, focusing instead on the critical potential inherent in the moment of reception. This dissertation argues that an adequate theory of documentary production requires a producing subject, as well as a realist theory of language. It finds in Mikhail Bakhtin's writings on the novel a basis for theorizing the inscription of experience in language, and the practice of identity as the orchestration of the heteroglossic discourses that converge upon the self. It then links these reformulations of language, identity, and experience to key 20th century debates about realism, aesthetics, and the politics of image-making practices. Finally, the dissertation offers an extended critical analysis of photographer Anne Noggle's Silver Lining, and of the film Two Laws, a collaboration between an indigenous Australian community and two white Australian filmmakers. Silver Lining and Two Laws offer significant challenges to the politics of documentary production, and each in its own discursive mode shifts the basis of documentary practice from a mode of representation (the organization of pre-existing experience) to the active performance of reality.

"The essence of architecture is the power of adaptation to fresh facts.” Berthold LubetkinThis creative project was my way of exploring if a convergence of art and technology in architecture can exist today.This exploration involved two focus points: one was movement and the other was glass technology.Movement was used for the exploration of the spatial relationships within an interpretation of our society today: the movement on the site as well as the inner motion of the single building elements.Glass was my modern technology tool for translating artistic ideas within architecture. It acts as a mediator between inside and outside space, between art and technology and creates a connection to the ‘understanding’ of our society.This paper is presented in five parts. The first part is the introduction to my thesis and the theoretical research about art and technology. Second is the process which I used for this project. The project is the third part. The fourth part is about glass, which represents my way of exploring the convergence of art and technology within architecture today. The last part of this paper is the overall conclusion. / Department of Architecture

A transposição de seu primeiro livro, O Cheiro do Ralo, para o cinema, pelo diretor Heitor Dhalia, é analisada de forma a levantar questões narrativas próprias aos dois meios (contrapondo-os ao mesmo tempo em que os aproxima) e à criação dos dois artistas / Abstract: This study is comprised of a reading of the work of Lourenço Mutarelli from its precursor in comics to literature in search of the poetics of the author. The transposition of his first book, Drain's Smell, to cinema, by the director Heitor Dhalia, is analyzed in order to raise specific issues about the two media narratives (opposing them at the same time as it brings them closer) and to the work/creation of those two artists / Mestrado / Multimeios / Mestre em Multimeios
