291	"Enough! or too much" : forms of textual excess in Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge and De Quincey Kellett, Lucy January 2016 (has links) My thesis explores the potential and the peril of Romantic literature's increasingly complex forms through a close comparative study of the works of William Blake, William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and Thomas De Quincey. These writers exemplify the Romantic predicament of how to make vision manifest – how to communicate one's imaginative and intellectual expansiveness without diminishing it. They sought different strategies for increasing the capacity of literary form, ostensibly in the hope of communicating more: clarifying meaning, increasing accessibility and intensifying original experience. But textual expansion – materially, stylistically and intellectually – often threatens more opportunities for confused and partial meanings to proliferate, overwhelming the reader by dividing texts and undermining attempts at coherent thought. Expansion thus becomes excess, with all its worrying associations of superfluity. To further complicate matters, Burke's influential tenet of the Sublime makes a virtue out of excess and obscurity, raising the problematic spectre of deliberately confused/confusing texts that embody an aesthetic of incomprehension. I explore these paradoxes through four types of 'textual excess' demonstrated by the writers under discussion: firstly, the tension between poetry and prose adjuncts, such as prefaces and notes, in Wordsworth and Coleridge; secondly, De Quincey's indulgent verbosity and struggle to control the freeing shapelessness of prose; thirdly, Wordsworth's and De Quincey's parallel experiences of revision as both uncontrollably diffusive and statically concentrated; and lastly, Blake's more deliberate, systematic attempt to enact a literary Sublime in which the reader is forced out of passivity by the competing demands of verbal and visual media. All are motivated and thwarted in varying degrees by their anxious preoccupation with saying "Enough", and the difficulty of determining when this becomes “Too much”. These authorial dilemmas also incorporate larger concerns with man's (over)ambition at a time of rapid and unprecedented economic, social and intellectual acceleration from the Enlightenment to industrialism. The fear that the concept and process of 'progress', or 'improvement', marks deficiency rather than fulfilment haunts Romantic writers.

Através de pesquisa bibliográfica, demonstra que o feminino é o locus em que o trágico se apresenta na obra clariceana. Esse trágico é conceituado como o titubear entre opostos, na entrelinha formada pelo questionamento das personagens acerca da existência de um destino e da autonomia das escolhas. Assim, a mulher, por sua própria situação conflituosa, colocada entre natureza e sociedade, é mais propensa a vivenciar o conflito trágico da condição humana. Focaliza também o sublime e o grotesco na obra da autora, e demonstra que o trágico é evidenciado a partir da complexa relação entre ambos, na busca por transcender os papéis sociais e ligar-se à origem do mundo. Para tanto, serve-se das contribuições de autores como Brandão (1996) e Ricouer (1953), no que tange ao conceito de trágico. Apoia-se também nos pensamentos de Hugo (2007) e Rosenfeld (1993) no concernente às conceituações do sublime e do grotesco, e, por último, relaciona as ideias desses pensadores a de teóricos da obra clariceana, como Almeida (2004) e Pires (2006), bem como com estudiosos das questões femininas, entre esses Beauvoir (1980) e Monteiro (1998).

293	Posvítit si do tmy / Supply Your Own Light Lukášová, Veronika January 2019 (has links) My disertation theses explores the intricate relationship between art, science and photography in the framework of the contemporary culture. Clearly outlined research areas open up the subject to a broader theoretical examination to underpin the artistic strategies that can be employed in the practial research. The resulting artwork interprets the domain of particle physics in a series of artworks. First area of the research delves into the domain of images and seeks to understand the relationship between the images of art and science in a broader sense. Second area investigates ambiguous medium of photography as both tool of science and art. Third area is an overview of the history of representation of the subatomic world and issues related to representing what is in fact unrepresentable. Fourth seeks to find epistemic and conceptual connection between art and science and their interdisciplinary dialogue as Sci-Art. The fifth part introduces artworks that reflect the critical egangement with the theoretical research and the scientific method by building the instrument for the observation of the cosmic rays. Sources for the theoretical framework are largely drawn from the academic literature written in the UK and USA where the topics explored in the theses have been studied in depth. The time scope considered in the theses encompasses 1990's of the 20. century up utill the present day.

297	Beckett, Barthelme, and Vonnegut : finding hope in meaninglessness Britten, Alex M. 16 April 2012 (has links) This thesis is a study of the shifting philosophical trends in the works of Samuel Beckett, Donald Barthelme, and Kurt Vonnegut as representations of a greater shift from modernism to postmodernism. I have chosen to explore Beckett's plays Waiting for Godot and Krapp's Last Tape, Barthelme's short stories "Nothing: A Preliminary Account," "The New Music," and "Kierkegaard Unfair to Schlegal," and Vonnegut's book Timequake to see how each author seeks to find a new hope in the face of a collapsed causal system. This work is an examination of the form and content of each author's work as it pertains to their own philosophical standing and in relation to the other two authors' works. I argue that each author finds a different hope for humanity depending on their place among the philosophical trends during their time. / Graduation date: 2012 Barthelme Beckett Vonnegut Death of God Existentialist Modernism Postmodernism meaninglessness existentialism sublime humanism nothingness Kant Timequake Waiting for Godot Sixty Stories Krapp's Last Tape The New Music Kierkegaard Unfair to Schlegal Nothing: a Preliminary Account Palm Sunday structuralism Nietzsche humanist delight causal causality post-structuralism philosophical trends real symbolic semiotic Alex Britten Vonnegut, Kurt -- Philosophy Barthelme, Donald -- Philosophy Beckett, Samuel, 1906-1989 -- Philosophy Hope in literature
298	Kant och papegojan : Om exemplen i Kritik av omdömeskraften Enström, Anna January 2011 (has links) This essay is an examination of the examples in Kant’s Critique of Judgement. The examples which I have focused on all converge in an idea of wildness. These examples of the beautiful are illuminated by a culture-historical perspective, where the literary and scientific travelogue genre is of great importance. Apart from being exegetic and culture historical, my method is also analytic. The general ambition is to answer the question; what is the parrot doing in the third Critique and what makes it a better example of a free beauty than a jackdaw? Taking as point of departure Jacques Derrida’s notion of parergonality, the example is primarily understood as formative for the thesis, not only as illustrative. By analysing Kant’s use of the wild, exotic and colourful objects as examples the essay intends to show how imagination and understanding operates in the beautiful. The parrot thus corresponds with the role of imagination in its relation to understanding in aesthetic judgement. The examples manifest the strength of the imagination and how it dominates understanding through its wildness. The aim is to present a way to approach the restful contemplation that Kant ascribes to the mind in the experience of the beautiful as bearer of a movement with considerable importance. Rodolphe Gasché’s emphasis on the wild examples as a precognitive minimum for understanding and Hannah Arendt’s view on imagination as an ability of intuition without the presence of the object, have also been essential for my argument.

299	Research: ROTHKO : - ett arbete om att lära känna sig själv genom någon annan / Research: ROTHKO : - about getting to know yourself through someone else af Malmborg, Solith January 2017 (has links) This thesis project examines both inner and outer circumstances of knowledge in an attempt to emphasize the importance of personal reflection. I search for answers on how to communicate feelings through colour and form by studying Mark Rothko and the abstract expressionism. A personal reflection is made parallelly to expand my own understanding of the subject and my own role in relation to it. I also explore painting as amethod of deepening my understanding of Rothko. Mark Rothko is both subject of study and tutor as I give myself the task of translating his art into my own design. The result offers thoughts and ideas on the significance of the work of hand, the use of colour and the meaning of intention, which I claim are important aspects when aiming for emotional results. However I also reflect upon the fact that the communication remains individual and that it is therefore problematic to confirm success in this matter. / Detta är ett undersökande arbete som vänder sig både inåt och utåt. Det är en djupdykning i Mark Rothkos konstnärskap som sker parallellt med en personlig reflektion. Inledningsvis handlar det om att arbeta i gränslandet mellan konst och design och hurdet kan se ut. I förlängningen handlar det om hur den konstnärliga historien kan fungera som inspiratör och vägledare för innebörd och uttryck i formgivningen. Genom att studera den abstrakta expressionismen och Mark Rothko söker jag svar på hur känslomässig kommunikation kan ske genom färg och form. Förutom litterär research utför jag också en praktiskt undersökning där jag använder måleriet som en metod för att förstå mitt studieobjekt; Mark Rothko. Målet är att översätta Mark Rothkos konst till min design. Det handlar om att studera, internalisera och applicera. Resultatet bjuder in till en diskussion om handlagets, färgens och intentionens betydelse för formgivningen, där jag hävdar att dessa aspekter är viktiga för ett emotionellt berörande resultat, men att kommunikationen förblir individuell. art chair immanuel kant sublime design process alternative science reflection personal reflection communication of feelings abstract expressionism color theory painting translation translatability design alternative design walter benjamin kant mark rothko rothko design konst måleri stol designprocess alternativ designprocess intuition översättning artisteri process handlag färg intention färgteori gerrit rietveld rietveld piet mondrian mondrian tate modern tate london abstrakt expressionism konstnärlig forskning vasilij kandinsky kandinsky new yorksskolan abstrakt konst jackson pollock pollock reflekternade arbete alternativa metoder alternativ forskning färggehör formgehör översättbarhet det sublima immanuel kant estetik Design Design
