Cloth, cull and cocktail : anatomising the performer body of 'Alba'

Norrie, K. M. January 2012 (has links)
Where and how can the live experience 'being there' be positioned in Scottish live art culture? Such transformatively liminal corporeity is situated in three examples of performative objects intrinsically linked to readings of Scottish identity. By collating a 'blood culture imprint' of 1970s performance art with Scottish live artist Alastair McLennan's positioning of the artist body as art, the thesis presents a revised understanding of how and where the live can be placed within Highland Gaelic culture. The specificity of this frame is intrinsically linked to the 'blood culture imprint' of Culloden and as such presents a liminal outworking in the three examples chosen which collectively portray an object body in the form of a textual anatomy of 'Scotland' or 'Alba'. Using contemporary live art discourse, the ontological origins of performance art in Scotland are situated as potentially live within the transfixed frame of the thesis itself, thereby positioning the authorship and readership of its contents as a revivifying act per se, reflecting the theoretical argument. I will argue that despite a seeming lack of performance art tradition in Scotland, this 'blood culture imprint' of the 1970s can be used to define Culloden and post- Culloden culture as necessarily animated by instances of live art. The examples chosen are James Clerk Maxwell's first colour photograph of a tartan ribbon, scalping survivor Scotsman Robert McGee's cabinet card and James MacPherson's Ossian repositioned as a post-genocide numinous wish text. Each performative object betrays its ontological origins, displaying a textual anatomy which argues that collating a performer body of 'Alba' can demonstrate a fundamental and historical performance culture.

Conversations With the Self: An Artist's Visual & Written Wanderings

Perkins, Elizabeth W. 01 January 2004 (has links)
The thesis is made up of episodes in which I am in dialogue with myself, sometimes in dialogue with the work, and yet other times I am speaking directly to the reader/viewer. The tense also sways from past to present as frequently as the visual language does. The following episodes are a selection of writings from my final year at graduate school. The episodes express my influences, inspirations, theories, and philosophies as a person and a maker. I think of these things as what allows me to wander and then wander somewhere else completely different within the same landscape. I feel it is important for an audience to experience these wanderings. I feel it is more valid for you to read exactly what I am thinking rather than to tell you about what I am thinking and making, because it is an expression of my relationship with my work. The images are supplemental to the writing. The images and writings fit together in that they inform one another. That is not to say that the ideas do not always transfer literally from image to writing but that they are what is thought about simultaneously through out my creative process. Most importantly I have developed through my graduate experience an intense relationship with the work. This is the most important relationship an artist has, the one with his or her work. It is deep and enriching, at times painful and frustrating, and at its best surprising, amazing, and even glorious. This is what I have to share through my thesis.

Influência da relação espacial (anteroposterior e transversal) dos segmentos maxilares prévio à queiloplastia sobre o índice oclusal em pacientes com fissura completa de lábio e palato unilateral / Influence of anteroposterior and transverse spatial relationship of maxillary segments before primary surgeries on the occlusal index in individuals with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP)

Cardoso, Gleisieli Carla Petelinkar Baessa 02 October 2013 (has links)
Introdução: Sabe-se que as cirurgias primárias de lábio e palato em indivíduos com fissura transforame incisivo unilateral (FTIU) provoca inibição do crescente deslocamento da base maxilar, bem como da região dentoalveolar. No entanto, a maxila dividida em dois segmentos diferentes, com as condições anatomicas variadas, assim como as alterações transversais e ântero-posterior, pode ser um dos fatores etiológicos para proporcionar deficiência maxilar e dentoalveolar. Proposição: Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar, por modelos de gesso obtidos antes de cirurgias primárias de indivíduos com FTIU, a influência da relação espacial anteroposterior e transversal dos segmentos maxilares e da amplitude da fissura no crescimento maxilar e relação oclusal avaliado pelo índice de cinco anos de idade. Métodos: Um total de 357 modelos de gesso do arco maxilar, da fase prévia as cirurgias primárias de lábio e palato, foram digitalizados e avaliados quanto à amplitude da fissura e relação espacial anteroposterior e transversal dos segmentos maxilares. Os grupos para classificação foram: Grupo 1: segmentos maxilares em contato na região anterior; Grupo 2: segmentos maxilares com espaçamento entre os segmentos maxilares e diferentes graus de discrepância ântero-posterior (a = leve, b = moderada e c = grave), e Grupo 3: segmentos maxilares em colapso, com o segmento menor apresentando flexão para a região mediana. A amplitude da fissura foi classificada em estreita (E), regular (R), ampla (A) e muito ampla (AA), pelo método visual subjetivo na região anterior, média e posterior. Fotografias intra-orais aos seis anos de idade foram utilizadas para a classificação do relacionamento intra e inter arcos dentro de escores de 1 a 5, seguindo as características oclusais do índice dos cinco anos e depois relacionada com a relação espacial anteroposterior e transversal dos segmentos maxilares e com a amplitude da fissura. Resultados e discussão: Um único examinador realizou as avaliações e o teste kappa demonstrou que a concordância intra-examinador foi quase perfeita. Para a avaliação estatística entre o índice de oclusal, a relação espacial e a amplitude da fissura foi realizada o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman. Foi definida a relação espacial anteroposterior dos segmentos maxilares, demonstrando uma prevalência de 56,82% de Grupo 2b e, menos prevalente obteve-se o Grupo 3. Na análise dos índices oclusais deste trabalho observou-se a maior prevalência do índice 3, com 36,33%, cujo prognóstico para o tratamento ortodôntico é regular. Não houve significância estatística na correlação entre o índice oclusal e discrepância anteroposterior entre os segmentos maxilares. No entanto, isso não foi observado para a amplitude da fissura que estatisticamente influenciou os resultados das relações interarcos, com tendências de índices oclusais maiores em maiores amplitudes de fissura, demonstrando prognosticos de crescimento maxilar mais pobre. Conclusões: Os diferentes graus de discrepância ânteroposterior entre os segmentos maior e menor não influenciou a relação interarcos. A amplitude da fissura entre os segmentos prévio às cirurgias primárias influenciou estatisticamente na relação interarcos, com crescimento maxilar mais pobre em indivíduos que apresentaram maiores amplitudes de fissura. / Background and Purpose: It is known that primary lip and palate repair in complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP) causes inhibition of increasing displacement of the maxillary base, as well as of the dentoalveolar region. However, the maxilla divided in two different segments with varied anatomical conditions, as well as the transverse and anteroposterior changes, may be among the etiologic factors to yield deficient maxillary and dentoalveolar growth. This study aimed to evaluate, by dental casts obtained before primary surgeries of patients with CUCLP, the influence of the anteroposterior and transverse spatial relationship of maxillary segments and the cleft width on the maxillary growth and occlusal relationship scored by the Five years old Index. Methods: A total of 357 dental casts of the maxillary arch before lip and palate closure were scanned and evaluated as to the cleft width and anteroposterior and transverse spatial relationship of maxillary segments. Group 1 had maxillary segments contacting in the anterior region; Group 2 presented maxillary segments with spacing between them and different degrees of anteroposterior discrepancy (a=mild; b=moderate and c=severe), and Group 3 exhibited collapse between the two segments, being that the lesser segment presented flexure to the median region. The cleft width was scored as narrow (N), regular (R), wide (W) and very wide (WW) by the visual method in anterior, medium and posterior regions. The intraoral photographs at six years of age were used for the rating dental relationship from 1 to 5 scores, following characteristics of Five years old Index.and then relating to the spatial relationship of the anteroposterior and lateral segments jaws. Results: A single investigator performed the assessments and the kappa test showed that the intraexaminer agreement was almost perfect. The statistical evaluation between the occlusal index and the spatial relationship and cleft width was performed using the Spearman correlation coefficient. It was defined spatial relation, showing a prevalence of 56.82% 2b Group and the less prevalent obtained in Group 3. In the occlusal analysis of this work observed a higher prevalence of index 3, with 36.33%, whose prognosis for orthodontic treatment is regular. There was no statistically significant in the correlation between the occlusal and anteroposterior discrepancy between the maxillary segments. However, this was not observed for the cleft width before primary surgery, which statistically influenced the outcomes of the occlusal index. Conclusions: The different degrees of anteroposterior discrepancy of greater and lesser segments did not influence the interarch relationship. The cleft width between the maxillary segments influenced the interarch relationship, with poor maxillary growth in greater cleft widths.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Mariana Couto Gonçalves_.pdf: 4080536 bytes, checksum: e0a01319530981e5bcc6f80fb8a4b131 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2018-08-17 / CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / Na virada do século XIX para o XX, o Brasil vivenciou a instalação de um governo republicano que priorizou a modernização da nação, através da implantação de reformas urbanísticas que implicaram na iluminação e pavimentação das ruas, ajardinamento das praças e vias públicas, instalação de bondes elétricos, tratamento da água e do esgoto e na edificação de residências salutares, bem como em medidas de higienização. Na presente tese, analisamos o processo de modernização ocorrido na cidade de Pelotas (RS), entre as décadas de 1910 e 1920, a partir da análise de crônicas e fotografias que nos trazem informações tanto sobre as transformações operadas no ambiente urbano, quanto sobre como foram vivenciadas pelos diferentes indivíduos que circularam por seus bairros e ruas. As narrativas textuais – obtidas a partir dos jornais A Opinião Pública, Correio Mercantil, Diário Popular, O Libertador e O Rebate – e as imagéticas – extraídas do Álbum de Pelotas, Ilustração Pelotense e Almanach de Pelotas – foram compreendidas à luz dos referenciais da História Cultural, com o propósito de identificar como foi efetivado esse processo, quais os atores sociais envolvidos e de que forma ele foi representado nas fontes históricas analisadas. A investigação que realizamos demonstrou que o processo de modernização desencadeado pelo Intendente Cypriano Corrêa Barcellos e vivenciado cotidianamente pelos pelotenses consolidou a existência de múltiplas cidades contidas em uma única Princesa do Sul. / At the turn of the nineteenth century to the twentieth, Brazil experienced the installation of a republican government that prioritized the modernization of the nation, through the implementation of urban reforms that implied lighting and paving of the streets, gardening of squares and public roads, installation of trams electrical, water and sewage treatment and in the construction of healthy residences, as well as hygiene measures. In the present thesis, we analyze the modernization process that took place in the city of Pelotas (RS), between the decades of 1910 and 1920, based on the analysis of chronicles and photographs that give us information on both the transformations in the urban environment and on how were experienced by the different individuals that circulated through their neighborhoods and streets. The textual narratives - obtained from the newspapers A Opinião Pública, Correio Mercantil, Diário Popular, O Libertador e O Rebate - and the images - extracted from the Álbum de Pelotas, Ilustração Pelotense e Almanach de Pelotas - were understood in the light of the references of History Cultural, with the purpose of identifying how this process was carried out, which social actors were involved and how it was represented in the historical sources analyzed. Our research has shown that the process of modernization triggered by the Mayor Cypriano Corrêa Barcellos and experienced daily by the Pelotenses consolidated the existence of multiple cities contained in a single Princesa do Sul.

Composições e afetos com fotoáfricas exercícios de pensamento na educação geográfica

Desiderio, Raphaela de Toledo January 2017 (has links)
Trata-se de uma pesquisa-experimentação. Experimentação como pensamento, como criação, como potência de subjetivação. Um pensamento com e pelas imagens na educação geográfica. Uma pesquisa que Intenciona problematizar fotografias didáticas do continente africano presentes em livros didáticos de Geografia, procurando pelos enunciados e formações discursivas que nos fazem ver a África a partir do estereótipo e da alteridade. Trata-se de exercícios de pensamento que objetivam deslocar o já dado do continente pela via das imagens. Intenta-se compreender, num primeiro momento, qual ideia de África está presente em livros didáticos de Geografia, e suas implicações para a construção de saberes sobre o continente numa abordagem geográfica da questão racial. A pesquisa toma como referência o diálogo entre a educação geográfica e os campos dos Estudos Africanos e Pós-Coloniais explorando os elementos que constituem o discurso colonial. Considera a colonialidade do poder, a diferença colonial, e o inconsciente colonial-capitalístico como noções centrais, pois são intrínsecas à formação do sistema mundo moderno/colonial e, portanto, do capitalismo. Nessa perspectiva, a invenção da raça torna possível, dois grandes eventos modernos: o tráfico de africanos e a colonização. Já num segundo momento, a escrita se volta para o exercício de criar modos de deslocar a fotografia de seu lugar de representação, evidência, documento, arrastando-a para exercícios de pensamento capazes de possibilitar práticas de subjetivação com e pelas imagens na educação geográfica, a fim de enfrentar as questões étnico-raciais e a educação pelas imagens na Educação Básica. Problematiza, portanto, a espacialidade da questão racial, encaminhando a análise para a compreensão das invenções, efabulações a respeito da África e sua gente. Os exercícios de pensamento com e pelas imagens procuraram desestabilizar, desarranjar, desorganizar, escapar a uma sequência estabelecida para o estudo do continente africano nos livros didáticos. A técnica da colagem foi utilizada para criar composições de fotoáfricas, algo da ordem da criação do pensamento, algo capaz de fazer a África escapar do lugar que ocupa nas páginas do livro didático. Trata-se de arrastar o pensamento a outras paragens para permitir-se afetar por outras Áfricas, uma África de afetos, uma Geografia de afetos. Percebeu-se que o exercício de desmanchar a África em nós é da ordem da sensibilidade, sendo preciso atuar nessa dimensão para que outros modos de ver, sentir e ouvir Áfricas possa aparecer em nossas práticas com as imagens na educação geográfica e na vida. Experimentar é, portanto, da ordem da criação pela sensibilidade. Os exercícios oportunizaram espaços de discussão sobre a África que nos fazem ver na educação geográfica, mostraram a tensão entre a força das fotografias didáticas, que operam na ordem do clichê, que validam e reproduzem discursos hegemônicos eurocêntricos, e o descompasso em relação às diretrizes para a Educação das Relações Étnico-raciais. Ao mesmo tempo, proporcionaram encontros com e pelas fotografias, colocando-nos em movimento, mobilizando o pensamento para a presença das imagens como potência, como possibilidade de fazer ver e sentir outras Áfricas, Áfricas que surgem de encontros com a literatura, por exemplo, mas que surgem muito mais pela vida que pulsa, pelo desejo de mudar a ordem das coisas. / This is an experimentation-research. A research that is understood as an experimentation happening as thought, as creation, as a subjectivation power. A thought-experimentation with and through images that takes place in Geographic Education. This research intends to problematize didactic photographs of the African continent in didactic geography books and tries to find statements and discursive formations which show Africa as a stereotype and as a land of otherness. It is a set of practices of the thought which aim to displace the imaginary created around the continent using images to that end. It first tries to comprehend what is the idea of Africa in Geography didactic books and which are their implications to the construction of the continent imaginary, adopting for this purpose a geographic approach of the racial question. In this regard, it takes as reference the dialogue between the geographic education and the field of African and Postcolonial/Culture Studies, hence exploring the elements of the colonial discourse. It also considers the coloniality of the power, the colonial difference and the colonial-capitalistic unconscious as central notions, inasmuch as they are intrinsic to the formation of the modern/colonial world-system and so to the capitalism. In that perspective it finally ponders the invention of race as the responsible for the enabling of two big modern events: the African trade and the colonization. After this first movement of thought, the research secondly turns to the practice of creating modes to displace the African continent photographs of their places of representation, documentation and still evidence, moving them to practices of the thought which are able to allow subjectivations with and through these images in the Geographic Education, thus intending to face the ethnical-racial questions and the education through images in Basic Education. Hence, it problematizes the spatiality of the racial question, turning the analysis to the comprehension of the inversions and fabrications surrounding Africa and its peoples. These practices of the thought with and through images tried to disturb, destabilize, disrupt and disarrange the established sequence of study that the African continent has in didactic books, thus using a collage technique to create “photo-africas” compositions which could, by the ability of creation of the thought, give Africa a chance to escape from the usual place the continent has on the their pages. These experimentations intend thereby to drag the thought to other places, giving it a chance to be affected by “other Africas”, Africas of affections, Geography of affectations. As a result of this research, it was seen that the practice of dismantling Africa in us it’s from the order of the sensible, therefore being urgent to act on this dimension in order to create in our practices with images, both in Geographic Education as in life in general, another modes of seeing, feeling and hearing Africas. Experimenting is thus from the order of the creation through sensibility, and so the practices with the images made possible the emergence of an environment of discussions about Africa which have shown, in the Geographic Education, the tension between the strength of the didactic photographs, which act as clichés, authenticating, validating and reproducing hegemonic eurocentrical discourses, and their mismatch in relation to the guidelines to the Education to Ethnical-Racial Relations. At the same time, these practices provided encounters with and through photographs, opening new possibilities and mobilizing the thought to the known of images as more than representations, to their presence as powers and possibilities of seeing and feeling another Africas, Africas that can emerge from encounters with literature, for instance, but which substantially and certainly emerge strongest through the life that pulses and though the desire of changing the order of the established things. / Se trata de una investigación experimental. Experimento como pensamiento, como creación, como potencia de subjetivación. Un pensamiento con y por las imágenes en la educación geográfica. Tiene la intención de problematizar fotografías didácticas del continente africano presentes en libros didácticos de Geografía, buscando por enunciados e informaciones discursivas que nos hacen ver África desde el estereotipo y la austeridad. Se trata de ejercicios de pensamiento con el objetivo de desplazar lo ya dado del continente por la vía de las imágenes. Se intenta en un primer momento comprender cual idea de África está presente en los libros didácticos de Geografía y sus implicaciones para la construcción de saberes sobre el continente en un abordaje geográfica de la cuestión racial. La investigación tiene como referencia el diálogo entre la educación geográfica y los campos de los Estudios Africanos y poscoloniales explorando los elementos que constituyen el discurso colonial. Considera la colonialidad del poder, la diferencia colonial, y el inconsciente colonial capitalista como nociones centrales, ya que son intrínsecas a la formación del sistema mundo moderno/colonial y, por lo tanto, del capitalismo. En esa perspectiva, la invención de raza posibilita dos grandes eventos modernos: el tráfico de africanos y la colonización. En un segundo momento, la escritura se vuelve al ejercicio de criar modos de desplazar la fotografía de su lugar de representación, evidencia, documento, llevándola para ejercicios de pensamientos capaces de posibilitar prácticas de subjetivación con y por las imágenes en la educación geográfica, a fin de enfrentar las cuestiones étnico-raciales y la educación por las imágenes en la Educación Básica. Problematiza, por lo tanto, la espacialidad de la cuestión racial, encaminando el análisis para la comprensión de las invenciones, ficciones a cerca de África y su gente. Los ejercicios de pensamiento con y por las imágenes buscan desestabilizar, desordenar, desarreglar, huir de una secuencia establecida para el estudio del continente africano en los libros didácticos. La técnica de collage fue utilizada para crear composiciones de foto-áfricas, algo del orden de la creación del pensamiento, algo capaz de hacer con que África huya del lugar que ocupa en las páginas del libro didáctico. Se trata de arrastrar el pensamiento a otros parajes para permitir sensibilizarse por otras Áfricas, un África de afectos, una geografía de afectos. Se percibió que el ejercicio de deshacer el África en nosotros es del orden de la sensibilidad, es necesario actuar en esa dimensión para que otras maneras de ver, sentir y oír Áfricas pueda aparecer en nuestras prácticas con las imágenes en la educación geográfica y en la vida. Experimentar es, por lo tanto, del orden de la creación por la sensibilidad. Los ejercicios posibilitaran espacios de discusión sobre África que nos permiten ver en la educación geográfica, mostraron la tensión entre la fuerza de las fotografías didácticas, que operan en el orden del cliché, que validan y reproducen discursos hegemónicos eurocéntricos, y un descompaso en relación a las directrices para la Educación de las Relaciones Étnico-raciales. Simultáneamente, proporcionaron encuentros con y por las fotografías, nos poniendo en movimiento, movilizando el pensamiento para la presencia de las imágenes como potencia, como posibilidad de ver y sentir otras Áfricas, que surgen de encuentros con la literatura, por ejemplo, pero que surgen mucho más por la vida que pulsa, por el deseo de cambiar el orden de las cosas.

David Lynch och fotografiet : The Factory Photographs / David Lynch and the photograph : The Factory Photographs

Valthersson, Jonas January 2018 (has links)
Studiens syfte är att genom semiotisk analysmetod och fototeori, om fotografiet som medium, försöka tolka David Lynchs fotografiska bildspråk i en motivanalys av två fotografier ur The Factory Photographs. Om upplevelsen av dessa fotografier kan förändras genom resonemang hämtade från främst filosoferna Roland Barthes och Susan Sontag. Detta berör teoretiskt begrepp som punctum, men även riktningen surrealism inom konst. Resultatet ska utmynna i alternativa innebörder åt fotografierna vid sidan av dess dokumentära uttryck.

Stereographs as Scholarly Resources in American Academic Libraries and Special Collections

Megan Halsban 2008 April 1900 (has links)
This paper examines stereographic images as scholarly resources, and begins with a brief history of the stereograph. A discussion and review of the literature related to the stereograph as well as the preservation of photographic objects follows the introduction. In addition to the literature review, collections of stereographs at four repositories were evaluated for usability: The Keystone-Mast Archive at the University of California, Riverside; The Eliot Elisofon Archive at the Smithsonian Institution; the George Eastman House; the Library of Congress. The paper ends with suggestions for future work with the stereograph, in order to facilitate access and use by researchers.

Aesthetic Appreciation Explicated

Axelsson, Östen January 2011 (has links)
The present doctoral thesis outlines a new model in psychological aesthetics, named the Information-Load Model. This model asserts that aesthetic appreciation is grounded in the relationship between the amount of information of stimuli and people’s capacity to process this information. This relationship results in information load, which in turn creates emotional responses to stimuli. Aesthetic appreciation corresponds to an optimal degree of information load. Initially, the optimal degree is relatively low. As an individual learns to master information in a domain (e.g., photography), the degree of information load, which corresponds to aesthetic appreciation, increases. The present doctoral thesis is based on three empirical papers that explored what factors determine aesthetic appreciation of photographs and soundscapes. Experiment 1 of Paper I involved 34 psychology undergraduates and 564 photographs of various motifs. It resulted in a set of 189 adjectives related to the degree of aesthetic appreciation of photographs. The subsequent experiments employed attribute scales that were derived from this set of adjectives. In Experiment 2 of Paper I, 100 university students scaled 50 photographs on 141 attribute scales. Similarly, in Paper II, 100 university students scaled 50 soundscapes on 116 attribute scales. In Paper III, 10 psychology undergraduates and 5 photo professionals scaled 32 photographs on 27 attribute scales. To explore the underlying structure of the data sets, they were subjected to Multidimensional Scaling and Principal Components Analyses. Four general components, related to aesthetic appreciation, were found: Familiarity, Hedonic Tone, Expressiveness, and Uncertainty. These components result from the higher-order latent factor Information Load that underlies aesthetic appreciation.
