Trollbreven till Oscar Reutersvärd : En analys av Thea Ekströms trollbrevsbilder från 1961-1974Björkman, Alexandra January 2010 (has links)
Mellan 1961-1974 skickade den svenska konstnären Thea Ekström väldigt många brev till sin mentor, konstprofessor Oscar Reutersvärd. Av dessa brev har jag läst ca 20 stycken och bland dem fanns ett antal som konstnären själv kallade för ”trollbrev”, brev med en sida text och en sida med målade bilder. Det är dessa trollbrev och framförallt bilderna i dem som har stått i centrum för denna uppsats.Det jag har undersökt är hur konsthistorieskrivningen har sett ut kring Thea Ekström och vilken eventuell påverkan Oscar Reutersvärds status i konstvärlden har haft på denna. En annan del av undersökningen har bestått av att analysera Thea Ekströms trollbrev utifrån Margaretha Rossholm Lagerlöfs teori om inlevelse och vetenskap och om ett annorlunda sätt att genomföra en bildanalys. Jag har med hjälp av denna metod ”gått in i” bilden jag har analyserat. Det finns även med en biografisk bakgrund om både Thea Ekström och Oscar Reutersvärd.Genom dessa undersökningar har jag framförallt kommit fram till hur, och att, det går att tyda konstnärens känslor genom hennes trollbrevsbilder. Att bilderna, på ett ungefär, speglar vilket humör Ekström var på när hon gjorde dem. Detta kan ses genom att sätta bilden i relation till den text den hör samman med. Här hittade jag tydliga paralleller mellan Ekströms humör och färgval och även vissa drag åt en medveten, eller omedveten, naivism. Även när jag satte mig in i en av hennes trollbrevsbilder fick jag vissa känslor och intryck som gav en uppfattning om konstnärens känslostatus vid tiden för skapandet. Det var både färgvalen, formerna och den övergripande balansen som påverkade mina upplevelser. Jag har även kommit fram till att Thea Ekström troligen inte hade någon direkt fördel av att ha Oscar Reutersvärd som mentor, när det kommer till hur hon framställs i konsthistorieskrivningen. Däremot har det visat sig att Oscar Reutersvärd hade stor betydelse för Ekströms skapande och att hans åsikter var viktiga för henne. Reutersvärds inflytande på Ekströms karriär låg alltså på ett personligt plan på det sätt att han uppmuntrade henne till att utforska sitt konstnärskap och att hon hela tiden sökte hans godkännande. Det som står om henne i den konsthistoriska litteraturen är ytterst begränsat och väldigt intetsägande men det finns ett par intressanta exempel på försök att placera in Ekström i fack och genrer.

The Relationship between the Awarded-Winning Movies of Taiwan and the Box OfficeYin, Chia-lien 14 March 2006 (has links)
Since ¡§The City of Sadness¡¨ won the first Golden Lion Award of International Venice Film Festival, winning an international award has become a rule that Taiwanese film do its marketing strategy. However, although ¡§The City of Sadness¡¨ created a high profit in its sales, other awarded movies seem not so lucky in the sales performance.
This research mainly bases on the aspect of marketing to study the phenomenon that Taiwanese film industry devotes in attending international film festival as its marketing strategy and further to analyze the relationship between the movie box office and this phenomenon. Secondary data would be employed in this research.
As a result, besides ¡§The City of Sadness¡¨, both ¡§The Wedding Banquet¡¨ and ¡§Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon¡¨ also have good performance in their sales. However, the success of these two movies not only resulted from getting awards but also the stories of the movies could attract people to go to the theater. According to the result of this research, we can find that there are more than 400 international film festivals in the world, but only Oscar Award is related with the sales of the film. On the other hand, other film festivals have not been able to attract people as much as ¡§The City of Sadness¡¨ did. Moreover, this situation also can prove one thing: the movie should be developed by commercial mode in order to be accepted by most audiences.
To sum up, Taiwanese movies are on purpose (e.g. increase profit and government support) to attend international film festival. However, there are not any benefits to the market of the Taiwan movie and it will let audiences to be distant from their owner entertainments product of their country. If Taiwan government cannot identify the real direction of the Taiwan movies, there is no future of Taiwan movies.

Oscar Wilde and Victorian psychologyParveen, Nazia January 2012 (has links)
This thesis examines Oscar Wilde’s theories of art in connection with specific debates ongoing in Victorian psychology as it emerged in the periodical press. By cross examining Wilde’s periodical contributions with psychological theories, concepts and discussions disseminated through periodicals this thesis offers a contextual account of Wilde’s creativity. Scholars generally look to Wilde’s Oxford Notebooks to gain an insight into his interaction with scientific culture. While the notebooks are an invaluable source to scholars they only cover Wilde’s learning in the 1870s and therefore exclude the influential context of the 1880s when he was engaged as a journalist for numerous periodicals and newspapers. Chapter one will demonstrate how reading Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray alongside neighbouring articles in the Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine reveals the hidden context of psychology in which the editors of the issue attempted to establish the text. The second chapter explores Wilde’s engagement in the disputes over psychological nomenclature alongside the psychology of George Henry Lewes, James Sully and other contributors. The third chapter will investigate the network in which Wilde’s reviewing for the Pall Mall Gazette established him. Wilde’s exchanges with aesthetic theorists and fellow reviewers Sully and Grant Allen will also be documented. The fourth chapter will demonstrate how Wilde creatively engaged with theories of atomism, emotionalist psychology and physiological aesthetics. The final chapter will examine the ethical questions posed by Wildean aesthetics in relation to scientific naturalism. Wilde originally communicated his theories through periodicals but also delivered lectures (which were reported in magazines), as well as eventually transforming his periodical articles into book publications. While this thesis places the onus on the periodical formats of Wilde’s texts, his lectures and revised editions of his writings will also be examined where relevant.

Irish Celtic folklore in The picture of Dorian GrayUpchurch, David A. January 1989 (has links)
Although critics have studied Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray for nearly one hundred years, no one has examined the author's Irish Celtic heritage in relation to such unanswered questions as the source for the supernatural power that grants Dorian's wish to remain young and creates the central conflict, the purpose of the eleventh chapter, or the apparent "overwriting" or "purple patches" of prose.As a result, the novel has remained elusive, yet fascinating, to both critics and readers. This study asserts that the problem with the traditional approaches critics have taken to solve these questions is that Dorian_ Gray does not entirely belong to mainstream British literary tradition. It also belongs in part to Irish Celtic literature.Consequently, the answers to these unresolved "mysteries" become part of a natural, even inevitable culmination of Irish folklore placed in a Victorian London setting. questions lie in Wilde's Irish background. By looking at the mythology and folklore of Wilde's native Ireland, the “mysteries” become part of a natural, even inevitable culmination of Irish folklore placed in a Victorian London setting.This study's approach to Dorian Gray combines both historical and textual study and builds upon the already substantial number of source studies and biographies available. Moreover, this study examines the almost entirely unexplored background of Wilde's Irish past in the novel which relates to Irish literature. In addition to these components, this paper also offers explanations for the source of the supernatural elements, the problems within the eleventh chapter, and the strategy of the overall structure. Finally this study examines the satirical elements that have their origin in Irish folklore. In many ways, this analysis unifies the other, often conflicting, approaches by explaining these previously misunderstood elements. / Department of English

The sanctified lie : form and content in the art of Oscar WildeSheety, Roger. January 1998 (has links)
This study seeks to show that in the work of Oscar Wilde, form and content, though manifestly separate, are latently connected. In Wilde's aesthetics, form and content are more than mere critical generalities---they are also metaphors for, respectively, art and nature, order and chaos, two conflicting but interdependent principles. Form in Wilde's work is a metaphor for the artist's defense against the largeness and ambiguity of nature and life. Therefore, to create, Wilde needs to insist on form over content, art over nature. Form in Wilde's work manifests itself in a deliberately artificial style, a style revealed by, for example, epigrammatic dialogue and posing of characters. However, because of this emphasis on form, nature and life will make an uncanny figurative return in Wilde's fiction, a return symbolized, for instance, by emotional ambivalence, intellectual ambiguity, and even acts of murder. In Wilde, form and content are interdependent because the content is latent in the principle of form, which stands for the human struggle against the perceived disorder of nature and life, a struggle which nevertheless is revelatory of that same chaos.
