Spatial Symbiosis and Spatial Oscillation in Jeanette Winterson's The Passion / 溫特森小說《激情》中的空間共生與空間擺盪徐肇駿, Hsu, Chao-chun Unknown Date (has links)
本篇論文企圖運用三種不同之理論架構分別來詮釋詹涅特•溫特森(Jeanette Winterson)的第二本小說《激情》(The Passion)。小說中的兩位敘述者,亨利(Henri)與薇菈妮爾(Villanelle)各自在不同的城市□(Paris and Venice)遭受當權者的操縱與剝削,因此下定決心脫離宰制的空間,進而在逃亡的過程中彼此相識。不過由於諸多的因素,這對無緣的戀人終究以悲劇收場,分別在不同的空間□尋找自我生存的意義。論文第二章以克麗絲蒂娃(Julia Kristeva)的理論為基礎,探討小說人物的主體性如何受到兩種空間(the semiotic and the symbolic)的相互拉扯,而呈現出不穩定的狀態。第三章運用布希亞(Jean Baudrillard)所提出的擬像(simulation)與內爆(implosion)等觀念,分析小說人物如何在真實界與擬像界中來回擺盪。第四章從列菲弗爾(Henri Lefebvre)的空間概念為出發點,透過三種空間(spatial practice, representations of space, and representational spaces)的交互辯證關係,一方面挑戰傳統二分法的制式化對立,一方面藉由檢視小說人物與城市空間的互動,賦予空間議題某種顛覆傳統的可能性。最後在論文的結論部分,首先歸納出三位理論家一致的共通性—空間共生與空間擺盪,並以此做為貫穿理論架構與小說文本的中心概念,希冀將小說《激情》做更全面的詮釋與研究。 / This thesis aims to interpret Jeanette Winterson’s The Passion through three different theoretical frameworks, including Julia Kristeva’s feminism, Jean Baudrillard’s postmodernism, and Henri Lefebvre’s spatial theory. Interwoven with two narrators, The Passion describes the ill-starred lovers, Henri and Villanelle, both of whom undergo a series of manipulations and exploitations from those-in-power in Paris and Venice respectively, later determine to escape, and encounter each other in Russia unexpectedly. On account of the radical differences in personality and preference, this romantic story of Henri and Villanelle ends up with the permanent separation in two diverse spaces where both protagonists eventually feel the sense of belonging. Accordingly, this thesis pays much attention to the function of space in the novel, which is conducive to the dissection of Winterson’s characters and which becomes a crucial perspective penetrating these three theorists’ assertions. In Chapter Two, The Passion is first scrutinized in terms of Kristeva’s theory, particularly from the viewpoint of the semiotic and symbolic spaces, between which the subjectivity of the characters ineluctably oscillates. Chapter Three applies the operation of simulation and implosion within Baudrillard’s spectrum as the groundwork to elaborate The Passion, in which the characters again are entrapped in the oscillation of the real and simulated spaces. In Chapter Four, the focus is laid on the elucidation of how Lefebvre’s spatial trialectics, namely, spatial practice, representations of space, and representational spaces, interact with each other in the world of the novel. This dialectical relation of oscillation between the spatial triad not only challenges the oppositional rigidity of the traditional dichotomy but implies a possibility of subversion against the dominant space as well. Finally in the last chapter, I attempt to deduce the interrelation from three theorists in the scope of the novel, concluding my thesis with the concept—spatial symbiosis and spatial oscillation—as the major one probing into these four littérateurs of different fields.

I skuggan av mediernas renommé : En kvalitativ textanalys av krigsfotografier premierade i World Press Photo of the YearStenström, Philip, Jansson, Hampus January 2016 (has links)
The aim of our study was to examine war pictures rewarded by the prominent foundation World Press Photo. Direct and indirect the foundation displays pictures to Western audience, pictures that are considered prestigious and current by the foundation itself. The image of World Press Photo and the editorial staff behind the organization therefore reflect how the West perceives current events in the world. Hereby, knowingly and unknowingly the foundation contributes to construct and reproduce everlasting pictures of important events. By examining how pictures are constructed and to ascertain what resemblances and differences that pictures of the Vietnam War as well as modern wars and conflicts contain, we consequently investigated eight war pictures awarded by the foundation World Press Photo. Our findings indicate that these war pictures offer emotional aspects like compassion and suffering. In addition, several photos provide notion of a postcolonial perspective of us and them. Our results also display that the awarded war pictures.

På flykt till gränskontrollernas land : En studie om hur flyktingar gestaltas i Dagens Nyheter och Sydsvenskan / On the run the the land of border controls : A study of Dagens Nyheter and Sydsvenskan’s portrayal of refugeesAlm, Agnethe, Ronnebäck, Tove January 2017 (has links)
In the autumn of 2015 a huge amount of refugees were on the run to Sweden. The news media described the situation as a refugee crisis and border controls were initiated. The aim of this study was to examine how two Swedish newspapers, one national and one local, portrayed refugees at the time when the border controls were initiated in Sweden. The questions examined were: How are the refugees portrayed, what are the similarities and differences between Dagens Nyheter and Sydsvenskan’s portrayal of the refugees? To approach this we made two different analysis of reports from each newspaper, three from Dagens Nyheter and two from Sydsvenskan. We did a framing analysis on the text and a semiotic analysis on the pictures. Findings show that the portrayal of refugees are very similar in both newspapers. The refugees are described as inferior, but at the same time brave, well-educated and hopeful. We also found that refugees often are portrayed as “the others” and the citizens of Sweden are portrayed as “we”. Although the similarities outweighs, we found some interesting differences in the newspapers portrayal of the refugees. For example, in Dagens Nyheter the hopefulness is combined with a positive and joyful approach, while Sydsvenskan describes the hope with an uncertainty and concern about the future.

Srovnávací sémiotická analýza vybraných protektorátních a raně socialistických agitačních plakátů vyskytujících se na území někdejšího Československa / Comparative semotic analysis of selected propagandistic poster from Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia and early socialist era in former CzechoslovakiaBaláková, Zuzana January 2017 (has links)
The diploma thesis focuses on the analysis of the selected protectorate and socialist propaganda posters from the forties and early fifties of the 20th century. The analyzed period ends with year 1953. This particular piece of work strives to set the whole subject in a larger theoretical framework. Furthermore the characteristic features of the given ideologies, the theory of semiotics and a brief description of the given historical period is also encompassed. Within the theory of semiotics the main inspiration is drawn from the works of Ferdinand de Saussure, Charles Sanders Peirce and Charles Morris. The most crucial source for the semiotic analysis is the book Mythology from Roland Barthes, especially its second theoretical part of Myth today, from which the methodological approach was gathered. The semiotic analysis allows one to uncover and expose the hidden meanings of texts. Ten posters were chosen in total for the analysis, five from the protectorate era and five from the late forties and early fifties. This was carried out in order to juxtapose pairs of images which portray the same motif or theme. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the applied semiotic components of the individual posters and then to compare the respective motifs and elements within the two ideologies and the extent to...

[en] COMMEST - A COMMUNICABILITY EVALUATION SUPPORT TOOL / [pt] COMMEST - UMA FERRAMENTA DE APOIO AO MÉTODO DE AVALIAÇÃO DE COMUNICABILIDADELUCIANA CARDOSO DE CASTRO SALGADO 12 November 2008 (has links)
[pt] Com o crescente aumento da competitividade e a distribuição
de software livre através da Internet, os fabricantes de
software preocupam-se cada vez mais em produzir software de
alta qualidade que de fato possa melhorar a vida das
pessoas e oferecer uma experiência de uso agradável e
produtiva. Para tanto, uma necessidade da indústria é que
haja métodos e técnicas de avaliação desta
experiência de uso. Existem ferramentas computacionais
desenvolvidas para apoiar a aplicação de alguns métodos de
avaliação existentes. Algumas delas são comerciais, outras
foram desenvolvidas em universidades ou instituições
nãogovernamentais. Há ainda as que foram desenvolvidas por
órgãos governamentais. O foco deste trabalho é o método de
avaliação de comunicabilidade, uma ferramenta epistêmica
proposta pela Engenharia Semiótica - uma teoria semiótica
da interação humano-computador. O método consiste de um
procedimento sistemático para avaliar a experiência do
usuário ao interagir com sistemas, enfatizando aspectos da
comunicação. Apesar de ser ensinado em boa parte dos
programas de graduação e pós-graduação em Informática
brasileiros, o método não tem escala de utilização
suficiente, para trazer novos conhecimentos para a
área de pesquisa Interação Humano-Computador, nem tampouco
para consolidarse como ferramenta para uso extensivo na
prática profissional do mercado. Isto se deve às
dificuldades existentes no ensino e aprendizado do método
(Bim et al., 2007). Por isso o trabalho apresenta uma
ferramenta computacional de apoio à aplicação da avaliação
de comunicabilidade, especificamente projetada para
facilitar o ensino e aprendizado do método. / [en] With increasing competition among software producers and
free distribution of software over the Internet, there is a
growing concern with developing highquality software, which
can actually improve people's lives and allow for pleasant
and productive use experience. To this end, one of the
industry's needs is the availability of methods and
techniques for evaluating use experience. Some
computer tools have been developed to support the
application of existing evaluation methods. Among them,
some are commercial, others have been
developed in universities, in non-governmental
organizations, and some have even been developed by
government agencies. The focus of this work is on the
communicability evaluation method, an epistemic tool
proposed by Semiotic Engineering, a semiotic theory of
human-computer interaction. The method consists of a
systematic procedure for evaluating the users' experience
as they interact with systems, emphasizing the
communicative aspects of the process. Although it is taught
in a considerable number of graduate and undergraduate
schools of Informatics in Brazil, the method is not
sufficiently utilized to either generate new knowledge for
human-computer interaction research, or consolidate
itself as a tool for extensive professional practice. This
is the consequence of difficulties in learning and teaching
the method (Bim et al., 2007). Therefore, this
work presents a computer tool to support the application of
the communicability evaluation method, specifically
designed to facilitate the teaching and learning of
the method.

Análise do discurso musical: uma abordagem semiótica / Analysis of the musical discourse: a semiotical approachMonteiro, Ricardo Nogueira de Castro 21 November 1997 (has links)
A dissertação \'Análise do discurso musical: uma abordagem semiótica\' discute e propõe soluções para a questão da aplicação do modelo de percurso gerativo de sentido à análise do discurso musical. A partir de uma exposição inicial onde se procura situar essa proposta analítica dentro da evolução da musicologia e da semiótica francesa, passa-se a uma discussão em profundidade da aplicação do modelo semiótico no que diz respeito à estrutura dos níveis fundamental e narrativo, tanto no que tange à organização sintática quanto semântica de cada patamar da significação. As explanações teóricas são fundamentadas diretamente a partir da análise de textos significativos do repertório ocidental, como a 5.a Sinfonia de Beethoven, a 4.a Sinfonia de Tchaikovski e a Fuga I do Cravo bem temperado de Bach. Em linhas gerais, o trabalho conclui por defender uma abordagem analítica que parte das aspectualizações presentes no nível de superfície para determinar a organização semântica do nível profundo no que diz respeito às modulações tensivofóricas e à ordenação de seu campo valencial. Postulada e justificada a presença de uma instância discretizadora responsável pela conversão das modulações em modalidades e das valências em valores, passa-se ao estudo do nível narrativo, que culmina com; a) a importante descoberta em nível musicológico do papel da dimensão semântica no processo de variação motívica e na geração da macroforma musical; b) uma investigação semiótica da paixão na música. / The dissertation named\' Analysis of the musical discourse: a semiotical approach\' discusses the application on musical analysis of the model championed by lithuanian linguist Algirdas Julien Greimas which conceives the process of generation of meaning as a path from abstract oppositions to narrative structures and hence to the discourse itself, which is called meaning generation path. The first chapter brings a general exposition which situates its analytical proposal in terms of the historical development of both musicology and the french branch of semiotical studies, which is committed with Structuralism. On chapter II, a detailed application of the theoretical model is presented step by step with the help of commented examples regarding some of the most appealing compositions of western repertory such as Beethoven\'s 5th. Symphony, Tschaikovsky\'s 4th Symphony and the first fugue of Bach\'s Well-tempered keyboard. The conclusion suggests that a semiotical approach on music should start with considering the superficial aspects of musical discourse so that its tensive and phorical course can be inferred and conceived as a complex of modulations where its internal relationships of attraction and repulsion may be ordinated in terms of valence. Based on the hypothesis of the existence of an instance of discreteness which converts the valences of the fundamental level into values of the narrative level and modulations into modalities, the study of narrative brings forth two main contributions. First, a semantical approach which explains the relationship between theme and musical form and revolutionizes the concept of musical variation. Second, a semiotical research on passion in music.

Sequências e séries: uma proposta duvaliana para a educação básica / Sequences and series: a Duvalian proposal for primary schoolQuina, Caio Moura 09 December 2015 (has links)
Esta dissertação versa sobre o ensino de Sequências e Séries na educação básica. A questão é entender em que medida o uso da Teoria dos Registros de Representação Semiótica se mostra favorável à criação de atividades que sejam propícias à aprendizagem dos alunos. Foram elaboradas dez atividades sobre Sequências e Séries e foi feita uma aplicação de quatro destas atividades com alunos de 1a série do ensino médio. Com esta aplicação, procurou-se buscar evidências de que o uso de diversos registros de representação semiótica favorecem a aprendizagem dos alunos em Matemática. Como escopo secundário, buscamos também investigar a concepção de infinito que os alunos manifestaram durante a aplicação das atividades. Antes, porém, buscamos na história da Matemática diferentes maneiras de como filósofos e matemáticos concebiam e utilizavam o infinito. Visto que Sequências e Séries também são assunto tratados no ensino superior, foram abordadas algumas dificuldades de transição ensino básico/ensino superior tendo em vista diferenças culturais entre os dois níveis de ensino. Concluímos que o uso de materiais concretos para representação de objetos matemáticos se mostrou favorável à compreensão dos alunos e a concepção de infinito dos alunos está predominantemente ligada a ideia de infinito potencial. / The subject of this research is about teaching and learning sequences and series in primary education. The research question is to understand how favorable is the use of the theory of semiotic representation registers to create activities that help students to learn. Were created ten activities about sequences and series and four of these were chosen to be used in a classroom with 1st year students of a secondary school. By observing these activities being used in classroom, evidences were searched to evaluate if including different semiotic representation registers facilitates student\'s learning on mathematics. As a secondary aim, the student\'s infinity conception is investigated in the classroom. We also researched mathematics\' history to find different conceptions adopted by philosophers and mathematicians on infinity. As sequences and series are also studied in college, some transition difficulties (from High School to College) were discussed considering cultural differences between the two educational levels. It was concluded that concrete teaching materials to the students\' comprehension and the students\' concept of infinity is mainly linked to potential infinity.

Discurso da divulgação religiosa: semiótica e retórica / Dissemination of religious discourse: semiotic and rhetoricSilva, Sueli Maria Ramos da 09 March 2012 (has links)
Amparados no desenvolvimento da noção semiótica de estilo com a operacionalização da noção de éthos proposta por Discini (2004b), buscamos evidenciar nosso ponto de vista que procura expandir os desenvolvimentos ora apresentados, mediante a proposição de uma revitalização da retórica, associando-a ao ponto de vista tensivo da semiótica. Nessa direção procuramos agregar a noção de estilo enquanto éthos, tom de voz, caráter e corporalidade depreensível de uma totalidade de discursos (Discini, 2004b), ao ponto de vista tensivo proposto por Zilberberg (2006a) em referência às noções de estilo ascendente e descendente estabelecidas pelo autor. Pretendemos, dessa forma, delinear de forma mais abrangente o modo de presença dos enunciados enfeixados pelo discurso de divulgação religiosa e, por conseguinte, do próprio discurso religioso. A partir da observação das recorrências dos mecanismos de construção do sentido dos enunciados reunidos por meio desta tese procuramos estabelecer uma distinção entre os três níveis de práticas no que concerne ao discurso religioso: a) discurso fundador; b) discurso de fidelização religiosa; c) e discurso de divulgação religiosa. Propomos delinear uma tipologia dos discursos de divulgação religiosa, relacionando-a aos diferentes modos segundo os quais se processualiza o paradigma da crença preconizado por Zilberberg (2006a). Destacamos o caráter inovador da tipologia proposta, na medida em que a realizamos, tendo por princípio o enunciatário almejado por tais discursos. Procedemos, assim, ao estabelecimento de cinco cenas enunciativas diferenciadas: a) divulgação religiosa especializada; b) divulgação religiosa instrucional; c) discurso de conversão social; d) divulgação religiosa propagandista; e) divulgação religiosa midiática. Nosso trabalho espera contribuir com as perspectivas contemporâneas de retorno em direção à retórica mediante o estudo dos discursos de fundação, de fidelização e de divulgação religiosa, com o exame da própria esfera de circulação do sentido religioso, ou seja, com reflexões a respeito do discurso religioso, como enunciado, enunciação, éthos, estilo e aspecto. / Our aim in this thesis is to show our point of view that seeks to expand the developments presented here, by proposing a revival of rhetoric and association, associating these ideas to the tensive point of view of semiotics. Our work is supported by the development of the Semiotic sense of style with the operationalization of the notion of ethos proposed by Discini (2004b). In this direction we seek to add the notion of ethos as style, tone, voice, character and corporeality which can be understood as a totality of discourses (Discini, 2004b), to the tensive point of view proposed by Zilberberg (2006a) in reference to the notions of upward and downward motions style set forth by the author. We propose, therefore, to delineate more fully the manner of presence of the enunciation set out to disseminate religious speech and therefore of their own religious discourse. From the observation of recurrences of the mechanisms of construction of meaning on the statements gathered by this thesis, we seek to distinguish between the three levels of practices with regard to religious discourse: a) founding discourse b) discourse of religious loyalty, c) and dissemination of religious discourse. We propose to outline a typology of dissemination of religious discourses, relating it to the different ways in which the paradigm of belief is processed according to Zilberberg (2006a). Wed like to highlight the innovative character of the proposed typology, as it has in principle to carry out the enunciatee pursued by such discourses. We proceed thus to the establishment of five different enunciative scenes: a) religious promotion specialist b) instructional religious promotion c) speech aiming at social conversion d) religious promotion aiming to advertize e) religious promotion media. Our work tries to contribute to the contemporary perspectives of return toward the Rhetoric study based on foundation speeches, religious loyalty and promotion by examining one\'s own sphere of circulation of the religious sense, that is, with reflections on the religious discourse , as stated, enunciation, ethos, style and appearance.
