Thus, it is noticeable, in the process of psychological development sought by the protagonists of the novel, the establishment of a heteroeroticism between them, that is, of an eroticism between subjects that have different gender identities, within the binary logic of feminine-masculine that underlies the heterosexual matrix in our society. This heteroeroticism between Loreley and Ulisses is consolidated, throughout the narrative, through gender performativities, which are, as Judith Butler (2003, 2016) theorizes, discursive reiterations that aim to ensure the intelligibility of sexual differentiation socio-historically-culturally, amid a “regulatory ideal” that promotes the maintenance of certain power relations. However, there are not only maintenances of gender performativities of the heterosexual matrix throughout Lispector’s novel, but also some subversions/transgressions/inversions in relation to them, which can be identified, for example, in parodies – intertexts with critical distance (HUTCHEON, 1989) – with heteroerotic configurations present in the narrative. Thereby, this master’s thesis aims to analyze and reflect on how the heteroeroticism between Loreley and Ulisses is established, along textual and intertextual (parodistic) instances, either by leading to gender performativities of the heterosexual matrix, or by subverting them. In order to support the analysis proposed in this paper, I mainly resort to theoretical formulations by Linda Hutcheon (1989), Howard Bloch (1995), Elizabeth Grosz (2000), Judith Butler (2003, 2016), Zygmunt Bauman (2004), Simone de Beauvoir (2009), Kathryn Woodward (2012), Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2012), Stuart Hall (2012), Georges Bataille (2014) and Michel Foucault (2012, 2013, 2015). / No romance Uma aprendizagem ou O livro dos prazeres de Clarice Lispector, publicado originalmente em 1969, os personagens principais, Loreley e Ulisses, buscam o próprio amadurecimento psicológico para que seja possível construir entre eles uma relação afetivo-sexualprofunda e duradoura. Dessa forma, é notável, em meio ao processo de desenvolvimento psicológico buscado pelos protagonistas do romance, o estabelecimento de um heteroerotismo entre eles, ou seja, de um erotismo entre sujeitos que possuem distintas identidades de gênero, dentro da lógica binária de feminino-masculino que alicerça a matriz heterossexual em nossa sociedade. Esse heteroerotismo entre Loreley e Ulisses é consolidado, ao longo da narrativa, através de performatividades de gênero, que são, como teoriza Judith Butler (2003, 2016), reiterações discursivas que visam a assegurar sócio-histórico-culturalmente a inteligibilidade da diferenciação sexual, em meio a um “ideal regulatório” que agencia a manutenção de certas relações de poder. Entretanto, não ocorrem apenas manutenções das performatividades de gênero da matriz heterossexual ao longo do romance de Lispector, mas também algumas subversões/transgressões/inversões em relação a elas, que podem ser identificadas, por exemplo, em paródias – intertextos com distanciamento crítico (HUTCHEON, 1989) – com configurações heteroeróticas presentes na narrativa. Assim sendo, esta Dissertação objetiva analisar e refletir sobre como o heteroerotismo entre Loreley e Ulisses é estabelecido, ao longo de instâncias textuais e intertextuais (parodísticas), ora agenciando as performatividades de gênero da matriz heterossexual, ora subvertendo-as. Para embasar a análise proposta neste trabalho, conto principalmente com formulações teóricas de Linda Hutcheon (1989), Howard Bloch (1995), Elizabeth Grosz (2000), Judith Butler (2003, 2016), Zygmunt Bauman (2004), Simone de Beauvoir (2009), Kathryn Woodward (2012), Tomaz Tadeu da Silva (2012), Stuart Hall (2012), Georges Bataille (2014) e Michel Foucault (2012, 2013, 2015).

In this study I propose that transgressive interpretations of Christian iconography provide a valuable strategy for contemporary artists to engage with perceived social inequalities in postapartheid South Africa. Working in light of Michel Foucault’s idea of an “ontology of the present”, I investigate the ways in which religious iconography has been implicated in the regulation of society. Parodic reworking of Christian imagery in the selected examples is investigated as a strategy to expose these controls and offer a critique of mechanisms which produce normative ‘truths’. I also consider how such imagery has been received and the factors accounting for that reception. The study is contextualized by a brief, literary based, historical overview of Christian religious imagery to explain the strength of feeling evinced by religious images. This includes a review of the conflation of religion and state control of the masses, an analysis of the sovereign controls and disciplinary powers that they wield, and an explication of their illustration in religious iconography. I also identify reasons why such imagery may have seemed compelling to artists working in a post-apartheid context. By locating recent works in terms of those made elsewhere or South African examples prior to the period that is my focus, the works discussed are explored in terms of broader orientations in post-apartheid South African art. Artworks that respond to specific Christian iconography are discussed, including Adam and Eve, The Virgin Mary, Christ, and various saints and sinners. The selected artists whose works form the focus of this study are Diane Victor, Christine Dixie, Majak Bredell, Tracey Rose, Wim Botha, Conrad Botes, Johannes Phokela and Lawrence Lemaoana. Through transgressive depictions of Christian icons these artists address current inequalities in society. The content of their works analysed here includes (among others): the construction of both female and male identities; sexual roles, social roles, and racial identity; the social expectations of contemporary motherhood; repressive role models; Afrikaner heritage; political and social change and its effects; colonial power; sacrifice; murder, rape, and violence in South Africa; abuses of power by role models and politicians; rugby; heroism; and patricide. Christian iconography is a useful communicative tool because it has permeated many cultures over centuries, and the meanings it carries are thus accessible to large numbers of people. Religious imagery is often held sacred or is regarded with a degree of reverence, thus ensuring an emotive response when iconoclasm or transgression of any sort is identified. This study argues that by parodying sacred imagery these artists are able to disturb complacent viewing and encourage viewers to engage critically with some of its underlying implications.

This thesis deals with popular paraphrases of classical Japanese literature in the Edo period (1600- 1868). It analyses creative rewritings of a famous Heian tale Genji monogatari by popular authors of the Edo period, primarily Nise Murasaki inaka Genji by Ryūtei Tanehiko (1783-1842), which is one of the most successful works of Japanese early modern literature. The aim of this thesis is, utilizing elements of narrative analysis, to identify and interpret creative strategies applied by Tanehiko and his predecessors (Kogame Masuhide, Miyako no Nishiki and Okumura Masanobu) in works based on Genji monogatari and to find out what the relation was between their works and their Heian model, and if and to what extent Tanehiko's work was a unique occurrence between popular paraphrases of classical Japanese literature.

The work focuses on the analysis of the poetics of Vladimir Nabokov's novel Invitation to a Beheading in terms of its cultural context. Specifically deals with its relation to the Soviet theatrical avant-garde, with mythopoetic symbolism and early avant-garde. We approach to the novel as a parody of the post-revolutionary avant-garde Soviet theater experiments. Special attention is paid to the fact that due to the theatralization of the text, i.e. assimilation of the novel space with the theatricals, diegesis of Invitation to a Beheading is divided into two equal opposing worlds, each of which represents particular poetics. World built around main character of Cincinnatus is comparable to symbolism, namely to the symbol and symbolistic perception of Andrei Bely. The central principle of this reality is semiotization of the world. The surrounding fictional world creates its opposite as it is shaped by the principle of desemiotization which - as a central aspect of formalistic-futuristic avant- garde - systematically dismantles hero's world. However neither of these worlds is winning. In the end it is the synthesis, which helps the hero get emancipated from the novel's world. The Invitation to a Beheading can therefore be interpreted as original artist's world manifesto which through presentation and...

Auf der Videoplattform YouTube finden sich hunderte sogenannter Shreds. Das sind Videos, die das Bildmaterial präexistenter Musikperformances mit einer neuen Tonspur kombinieren, und zwar mit humoristischer Intention. Hier wird erstmals die Geschichte der Shreds umfangreich nachgezeichnet und ihre stilistischen Ausprägungen untersucht. / The video platform YouTube hosts hundreds of so-called shreds: videos that combine footage of preexisting musical performances with a new soundtrack, always with a humoristic intention. The present study examines the history of shreds and their stylistic devices for the first time ever.

SAKLETARHISTORISKA RIKSMUSEET / THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SEARCHING FOR STUFF is Karolina Willebrand Vinnberg’s Independent Degree Project within the Master's Programme in Acting at Stockholm University of the Arts 2021-2023, examining and performing the Swedish children's book character Pippi Longstocking as if she were a museum artifact. With tools such as parody, intertextual analysis and immersive performance her hitherto (imagined) unknown inner life is excavated, dissected and exposed. This research also explores what happens in the encounter between actor and audience when performing and co-existing in an immersive museum space. The research process ended with a performative exhibition set in and produced in collaboration with The Swedish Museum of Performing Arts in Stockholm. This exhibition included seven scenographic installations and exhibit objects with associated audio guides, four video works and four immersive performances and an actress being present as the character of Pippi Longstocking throughout the days.

Orlando di Lasso is regarded as one of the great polyphonic masters of the Renaissance. An international composer of both sacred and secular music, his sacred works have always held an important place in the choral repertory. Especially significant are Lasso's Parody Masses, which comprise the majority of settings in this genre. The "Missa Ad Imitatiomem Moduli Doulce Memoire" and its model, the chanson "Doulce Memoire" by Sandrin, have been selected as the subject of this lecture recital. In the course of this study, the two works have been compared and analyzed, focusing on the exact material which has been borrowed from the chanson. In addition to the borrowed material, the longer movements, especially the Gloria and the Credo, exhibit considerable free material. This will be considered in light of its relation to the parody sections. Chapter One gives an introduction to the subject of musical parody with definitions of parody by several contemporary authors. In addition, several writers of the sixteenth century, including Vicentino, Zarlino, Ponzio, and Cerone are mentioned. Chapter Two relates biographical information on Lasso and gives a brief summary of his compositions. Attention is given to the number and type of Parody Masses by Lasso. Chapter Three discusses Sandrin and the chanson model, "Doulce Memoire." The original French text, an English translation, and form of the chanson are given. Chapter Four gives a detailed analysis of the "Missa Doulce Memoire" illustrating the use of borrowed material on specific sections of the Mass. The free sections of the Mass are discussed and compared with the parody sections. Other compositional devices, such as text painting, varied textures, and coloration are also mentioned. In Chapter Five, the "Missa Doulce Memoire" is compared to Lasso's other parody works and conclusions will be drawn concerning the composer's choice of material and treatment of the text, especially with regard to the free sections, the place of the Parody Mass in Lasso's ouevre. and their place in the modern choral repertory.

Pieter Bruegel the Eider's paintings De verkeerde wereld, Het gevecht tussen Karnava/ en Vasten, Luilekker/and, Dulle Grief and Landschap, met Icarus' val are interpreted as sixteenth-century parodies using the paradoxia epidemica as a tropic means for interpreting the artist's wit, irony, parody and picaresque stance towards his source material and his milieu. Where applicable, other works relating to a particular argument are also discussed. As a result of this investigation, an original contribution has been made in the literature on both Bruegel and parody as a form of visual communication. / Art History, Visual Arts & Musicology / M.A. (History of Art)
