41	La divine comédie de Stan Brakhage : une lecture du film lyrique The Dante Quartet Arsenault, Nadia 12 1900 (has links) Film abstrait peint à la main sur de la pellicule recyclée, The Dante Quartet de Stan Brakhage est une adaptation personnelle de La divine comédie de Dante. Agissant comme un palimpseste où chaque couche révèle des éléments caractéristiques de l’oeuvre du cinéaste ainsi que l’influence de certains poètes et artistes, The Dante Quartet reprend certaines caractéristiques de l’ekphrasis. Dans ce mémoire, je travaille avec l’hypothèse heuristique que The Dante Quartet est une ekphrasis, et plus précisément une ekphrasis inversée. Ce mémoire s’intéresse à ce qui reste du pré-texte après son passage d’un média à un autre. Compte tenu du laps temporel qui sépare ces deux œuvres, il est aussi question d’influences contemporaines au travail de Brakhage. Le cinéaste basant son travail sur les phénomènes de vision (et plus particulièrement sur les visions hypnagogiques dans le cas qui m’occupe), le point sera fait sur la pensée de Brakhage à ce sujet, pensée qu’il expose dans son livre-manifeste Metaphors on Vision. / The Dante Quartet by Stan Brakhage is a personal adaptation of The Divine Comedy of Dante who took the form of an abstract movie made from hand painted images on recycled footage. Acting as a palimpsest in which each layer reveals characteristic features of Brakhage's work and the influence of different poets and artists on it, The Dante Quartet also includes some features of ekphrasis. In this thesis, I work with the heuristic assumption that The Dante Quartet is an ekphrasis, specifically a reverse ekphrasis. This thesis looks at what remains of the pre-text after the transfer from one medium to another. Given the temporal interval between these two works, I will also discuss of certain contemporary influences to Brakhage's work. As the filmmaker based his work on vision phenomena (especially on hypnagogic visions in that movie), the point will be made regarding Brakhage's thinking about this, thought that he describes in his manifesto Metaphors on Vision.

47	Skeppsbron: Stadsrum i förändring / Skeppsbron: Transforming cityscape Dits, Jessica January 2015 (has links) Här är norr, här är Stockholm simmande palats och ruckel. Tomas Tranströmer: Inomhuset är oändligt ur För levande och döda (1989) Skeppsbron i Stockholm är ett stadsrum i förändring. I och med att Slussens ombyggnad står för dörren väntar en ny framtid platsen. Den äger en stor potential men upplevs idag som bortglömd och själlös. Trots sin historia som Sveriges främsta hamn och marknadsplats är det få som avsiktligen kommer hit. I mitt projekt har jag försökt att, med hjälp av Tranströmers poesi och tecknande av rummet, försökt finna platsens karaktär och själ, samt utifrån vad jag funnit addera nya program och rumssamband till platsen. Förslaget är en sekvens som gradvis behåller, skalar av och skippar befintliga tullhus. Mina huvudsyften har varit att tillgängliggöra, koppla samman samt inte minst att bereda plats för människan. Jag kommer för sällan fram till vattnet. Men nu är jag här, bland stora stenar med fridfulla ryggar. Stenar som långsamt vandrat baklänges upp ur vågorna Tomas Tranströmer: Långsam musik ur Klanger och spår (1966) / Here is the north, here is Stockholm swimming palaces and hovels. Tomas Tranströmer: Indoors is endless from For the Living and the Dead (1989) Skeppsbron is a Stockholm cityscape going through changes. With the refurbishment of Slussen in the works, a whole new future awaits the site. It is a place full of potential, but at the moment neglected and lacking character. The small number of people deliberately visiting Skeppsbron belies its historical importance as the main port and marketplace of Sweden. My project is an attempt to find the soul and essence of the place, using Tranströmers poetry and my own drawings as a starting point. Building on my findings I have added new programs and spatial connections to the site. The proposal includes a sequence gradually moving from conserving, to stripping down to altogether removing existing pavilions. My main aspirations have been improving accessibility, interconnecting and last but not least making way for people. I come down to the water too seldom. But here I am now, among large stones with peaceful backs. Stones which slowly migrated backwards up out of the waves.

50	Integrated network application management (INAM) Nelson, Mark D. 12 1900 (has links) Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / This thesis attempts to create a desire for change in DoD's current approach to Network Application Management (NAM). The evolution of NAM into Integrated Network Application Management (INAM) is a crucial component of Network Centric Warfare and achieving Information Superiority and Interoperability. INAM is outlined as three functional requirements, which are Network Awareness, Mission Prioritization linkage to Network Resources, and the Balancing of Service Management. Scenarios play a key role in illustrating the new threats that DoD faces today. These scenarios also identify limitations and challenges to NAM as it exists today. These challenges require significant improvements in flexibility and responsiveness, while providing for wide integration. Trends supporting change are identified in this thesis. Two of the more important trends are the rise of Architectural and Object Oriented Development. Examples such as Training and Testing Enabled Architecture (TENA), Surveillance and Target Acquisition Network (STAN), and Virtual Proving Ground (VPG) are clear examples of these trends. The merging of the Computer Industry's efforts to expand the reach of Operating Systems with the traditional efforts from Network Management is also a trend that is examined. Organizations like Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) are important to such examinations. Successful change can not be achieved without planning for the transition. This thesis also presents some active transition efforts addressing Network Centric Warfare. TENA, VPG and Naval Postgraduate School's Information Technology Management Master's Program provide three examples of addressing transition in DoD. / Civilian, United States Army Yuma Proving Ground Netcentric computing United States Information technology Military aspects INAM Network awareness Mission priorities Network services JV2020 Information superiority Interoperability NCW Transition management OSI SNMP TMN NOC QoS TCP FORCEnet A2C2 STAN Enterprise management FEAF FI2010 TENA ATEC DTC VPG MC02 JFCOM JNTC NMCI PAMS Neutral zone
