L’autoportrait de Paul-Émile Borduas, unique expérience de ce genre artistique dans sa carrière, s’avère représenter une étape charnière dans sa construction personnelle et artistique. Notre étude s’amorce par la description formelle du tableau, l’identification du processus de création, l’analyse du problème de datation et la réflexion sur les influences et assimilations stylistiques. Les nombreux indices détectés sont exploités pour mettre en évidence la mutation des statuts intime et professionnel. À partir d’une introspection et d’un itinéraire spirituel, Borduas tente d’extérioriser sur la toile la complexité de sa personnalité et sa quête d’identité. Le tableau est révélateur de l’établissement d’un Moi accompagné d’un code d’expression personnel du peintre. Par ailleurs, il s’inscrit au démarrage d’une œuvre qui va participer à l’émergence progressive de la modernité artistique et sociale du Québec à partir des années 1930. L’artiste semble affirmer son statut professionnel en développant des stratégies qui allient, d’une part, tradition et modernité, et, d’autre part, incertitudes et volonté d’émancipation. En choisissant de se représenter lui-même dans son propre langage pictural et son code d’expression personnel, Borduas pose les jalons de son identité et s’impose comme artiste-peintre dans une société québécoise en voie de modernisation. / The self-portrait of Paul-Émile Borduas, unique experience in this artistic genre in his carrier, represents a milestone in his personal and artistic career. This work begins by the formal description and the study about stylistic influences and assimilations. Many key points are detected and exploited to bring out the mutations of intimate and professional status. From introspection and spiritual itinerary, Borduas tries to externalize on canvas the complexity of his personality and his quest for identity. The canvas is indicative of the establishment of an “ego” accompanied by a personal code of expression as a painter. Moreover, he built a canvas that will participate in the gradual emergence of the artistic and social modernity of Quebec from 1930. The artist seems to assert its professional status by developing strategies that combine on the one hand, tradition and modernity, and, on the other hand, uncertainty and desire for emancipation. By choosing to represent himself in his own pictorial language and his personal code of expression , Borduas lays the foundation of his identity and stands out as a painter in Quebec society in the progress of modernization.

This thesis examines Oscar Wilde’s “The Portrait of Mr. W. H.” as the product of Wilde’s long interest in critic Walter Pater’s literature and scholarship. From its first iteration published in 1889, through Wilde’s ongoing revision and expansion into the version commonly anthologized today, “The Portrait of Mr. W. H.” is an evolving work that mirrors Wilde’s enduring relationship with the art and ideas of his former teacher. This relationship is explored in three contexts: Pater’s contribution to Wilde’s understanding of the Renaissance period; the steady influence of Pater’s ideas and persona on Wilde’s other major works from the period that saw the publication and revision of “The Portrait of Mr. W. H.;” and the particular influence of Pater’s Imaginary Portraits on the structure and themes of “The Portrait of Mr. W. H.” Because of Pater’s extensive writings on art, and Wilde’s passionate interest in the subject, many of these intersections occur around the image of the portrait in Wilde’s work.

Master's thesis Photographs of Presidential Candidates in Czech Newspapers ahead of Elections of 2013 compares the visual coverage of nine presidential candidates in the photographs published in three national broadsheet newspapers Lidové noviny, Právo and Hospodářské noviny during the period of four weeks before the first Czech direct presidential elections in January 2013. The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes literature probing the visual framing of politics and the influence of photographic images in media on audiences and their decisions in elections. The quantitative content analysis compares the number of each candidate's pictures in the Czech press in order to determine whether the visual coverage was balanced or not and whether this could have affected the election results. It also verifies the hypothesis that newspapers tend to publish more pictures of the candidates with similar political orientation. Besides that, the thesis also compares how each of the journals uses photography illustration by examining the size, placement, type, caption length and authorship of the pictures.

The thesis deals with the crime of everyday life, i. e. unfair practices committed by individuals who are considered to be "respectable citizens". The aim of the theorical part is to define the phenomenon of everyday crime, to put it into the relevant sociological and criminological context and also to perform quantitative analysis, which will focus on two of the most important factors for prediction of everyday crime - norms and values. The theoretical part, in addition to the basic definitions of the research focuses on the concepts of values (in particular the concept of S. H. Schwartz), and also on the religiosity. Empirical part of the thesis provides the analysis of the everyay crime on the basis of two data files of the Czech population (European Social Survey 2010, Aktér 2011) and verifies the influence of norms and value profiles on the commitment of everyday crime.

The main theme of this thesis is the non-banking- loans- companies and its medial portrait. The thesis formulates the basic hypotheses related to social status and reputation of non-banking companies. As the research method there was chosen the quantitative content analysis. The research sample consists of the daily papers Hospodářské noviny, MF DNES and some selected economic and political magazines. The research period was divided in two parts: March - June 2010 and September - December 2010. The thesis contents two analysis: the first one contents the results of surveys of the company called Provident Financial. The second one is an analysis of advertising in the daily papers MF DNES and Hospodářské noviny. The results of the analysis of advertising didn't confirm one of the main hypotheses assuming that the non-banking -loans- companies have any impact on the content of investigated media. And vice versa, other hypotheses were confirmed by results of the quantitative content analysis. The result of the analysis is that the non-banking-loans- companies are presented as companies working within the standards of law and which are entitled to a place in the financial market.

La présente thèse étudie le rapport entre la vie et l’oeuvre d’Eugène Ionesco selon la perspective de l’autoportrait. Dans ses ouvrages fort divers — essai, roman et théâtre — l’écrivain se penche ouvertement sur sa vie et son passé pour y trouver l’essence de son existence. L’autoportrait ainsi dressé revêt constamment de nouvelles formes. Complexe et transgénérique, il embrasse plusieurs enjeux littéraires et métaphysiques que nous tentons d’analyser et de circonscrire dans le cadre d’une réflexion tripartite. Dans un premier temps, nous étudions la nature de « l’écriture de soi » chez Ionesco en regard des notions d’autobiographie et de journal pour en saisir l’originalité. Nous abordons ensuite l’écriture romanesque de l’auteur afin de montrer d’une part comment ce dernier introduit une dimension autobiographique dans une œuvre fictive et afin de révéler d’autre part son objectif sur le plan de l’écriture de soi. Enfin, nous analysons la nature de l’autoportrait dramatique ionescien du point de vue générique et examinons le mode de représentation de soi « hors de soi », c’est-à-dire, sur scène. / This thesis analyzes the relationship of Eugène Ionesco's life and works through a selfportrait lens. In his rich variety of works across multiple genres, e.g. essays, novels and plays, the author openly examines his life and his past to find the essence of his existence. Thus approached, the self-portrait constantly takes on new forms. Complex and cross-genre, it takes up various literary and metaphysical issues which will be analyzed and delineated through a tripartite approach. Firstly, the nature of self-writing in Ionesco's works will be considered in comparison to the concepts of autobiographical and journal writing in order to appreciate his originality more thoroughly. Next, his novelistic writing will be explored to show, on the one hand, how he adds an autobiographical dimension to fiction, and to reveal on the other hand, his goal as far as self-writing is concerned. Finally, the nature of Ionesco’s dramatic selfportrait will be analyzed from a genre standpoint as will his self-representation from “ outside himself”, that is to say, on stage.

O fotógrafo alemão August Sander (1876-1964) foi autor de uma das mais apreciadas obras fotográficas do século passado, Homens do século XX (HHSX), um projeto de fotografia documental de grande envergadura, iniciado na década de 1920, composto basicamente por retratos, por sua vez organizados segundo o critério de classificação de tipos da sociedade elaborado pelo próprio fotógrafo. Alguns dos retratos são descritos neste trabalho pormenorizadamente a fim de encontrar nas suas propriedades visíveis indicações referentes aos esquemas de percepção que Sander empregava em sua visão de mundo. As análises dessas imagens são confrontadas com os critérios de classificação por ele adotados e articuladas a um manancial de informações relacionado ao ambiente fotográfico da época, ao contexto sócio-político da Alemanha e à biografia do fotógrafo. Este procedimento levou à hipótese central da pesquisa: mais do que representações de tipos sociais, como de fato acreditava Sander, HSXX é antes um conjunto de estereótipos no sentido de seus retratos serem realidades construídas que correspondem a um modo de percepção social. Enquanto à percepção do real, a maioria dos retratos corresponde a estereótipos pré-concebidos socialmente. O presente estudo parte do princípio de que Homens do século XX é a narração da interpretação de Sander sobre aquele período histórico da Alemanha. Deste ponto de vista, a análise empreendida não interpreta somente a obra, mas também interpreta a interpretação circunstanciada daquele que a concebeu. Não se trata, portanto, de um estudo sobre os fatos narrados, mas sim sobre a forma como Sander os narrou, sua percepção do mundo inscrita na interpretação que ele faz do real circunstanciada por diversos fatos sociais. / The German photographer August Sander (1876-1964) was the author of one of the most appreciated photographic work from last century, Man in the Twentieth Century, a vast documental photography project, started in the 1920s, basically composed by portraits, organized by the author according to societys kinds of occupations. Some of the portraits are described here in detail in order to find in its visible proprieties, indications related to the aspects of perception which Sander used in his view of the world. The analysis of those images are confronted with the classification criteria adopted by him and articulated with several pieces of information related to the photographic environment from that time, to the German social political context and to the photographers biography. This procedure took us to the researchs central hypothesis: more than representations of social types, as Sander believed, Man in the Twentieth Century is a whole of stereotypes in the sense that his portraits are constructed realities that correspond to a kind of social perception. As for the perception of the real, most of the portraits correspond to the stereotypes that are socially understood. The current study essentially states that Man in the Twentieth Century is the narration of Sanders interpretation about that German historic period. From this point of view, the analysis done not only interprets the art work, but also interprets the circumstanced interpretation from the one who idealized it. Therefore, it is not a study about the narrated facts, but about the way Sander narrated them, his perception of the world enrolled in the interpretation that he does about the real, circumstanced by several social facts.

Uma parada - Antonio Manuel - Entre os artistas contemporâneos no Brasil nos anos 60 e 70, acreditamos que Antonio Manuel foi o que guardou um profundo mistério na sua produção. Mesmo ao ser censurado, trilhou sua trajetória e, aos poucos, ocupou um espaço suficiente para causar uma inversão da representação e encontrar um caminho errático que o fizesse, dinamicamente, atuar. Pela tomada do corpo, como gesto de liberdade, expandiu sua arte. Sua atitude de pensamento se transformou em fotografia. Quando falamos em \"uma parada\", queremos enfatizar a importância da pose pausada no auto-retrato do artista, para justificar a tese de que Antonio Manuel também expandiu a arte contemporânea pela fotografia. Essa ampliação doa to criativo se deu graças à presença constante das imagens fotográficas do corpo nos seus trabalhos, que, inquietos, iniciaram esse percurso, de modo a podermos afirmar que, hoje, a fotografia tem importante significado no conjunto de suas séries. Para corrigir a realidade imposta tão violentamente pela ditadura militar, timidamente, Antonio Manuel abandonou o desenho sobre jornais para se apropriar das fotografias da imprensa, como também transgredir, corajosamente, a gramática dos veículos de comunicação de massa. Interessa-nos apontar para a importância dessa atitude e, para isso, desenvolvemos algumas possibilidades de compreensão. Consideramos as estratégias propostas pelos críticos Mário Pedrosa e Frederico de Morais e, ainda, os diversos teóricos que estudamos para tornar o debate da época, sobre as estratégias da arte contemporânea no Brasil dos anos 60 e 70, plausível. A arte fotográfica de Antonio Manuel, particularmente as imagens fotográficas do corpo, tiveram uma incrível ressonância na crítica de arte nacional e internacional. Porém, não vem sendo exibida como uma das poucas manifestações visuais que soube estar em sintonia com as diferentes tendências da arte fotográfica das últimas duas décadas. Para confirmar sua importância conceitual, delimitamos sua produção entre os anos de 1967 e 1977. A estrutura dos capítulos não segue à risca uma ordem cronológica, mas principalmente, a relação do ato criativo com o conjunto das séries. Destacamos as análises dos auto-retratos e dos retratos, bem como dos filmes do artista, em que a arte da desaparição de Jean Baudrillard sustenta a noção de \"parada\" fotográfica. Uma Parada tem ênfase no retrato, nos objetos inquietantes e nas imagens perturbadoras, que gestaram a relação do artista com o mundo durante um período de crise da arte. Porém, a crise do sujeito em Antonio Manuel é desafiadora, porque subverteu os modelos e desarticulou as referências, por enfrentar o processo de trabalho com luta e criatividade. Da sua liberdade, o espectador-participador se torna cúmplice. / A paused pose - Antonio Manuel - Among the Brazilian contemporary artists of the 60s and 70s we believe that Antonio Manuel has been the one who has kept a profound mystery in his production. Even when he was banned, he managed to make his way and, little by little, take enough place to cause an inversion of representation, finding an erratic path that made him act dynamically. By taking the body as a gesture of freedom, he has expanded art. His way of thinking has turned into photography. When we say a pause, we want to emphasize the importance of the paused pose in the artists self portrait so as to justify the thesis that Antonio Manuel has also expanded contemporary art through photography. This enlargement of the creative act was due to the constant presence of photographic body images in his works, which, in a restless way, started this journey, enabling our statement that, today, photography has a meaning in the complex oh his series. In order to correct the reality so violently imposed by the military dictatorship, Antonio Manuel abandoned drawing over newspapers timidly to appropriated in pointing out the importance of this attitude and, for that purpose, we have developed some possibilities of comprehension. We have considered the strategies suggested by critics Mario Pedrosa and Frederico de Morais, as well as many other theorists we have studied, so as to make plausible the debate on the strategies of Brazilian contemporary art in the 60s and 70s at that time. The photography art of Antonio Manuel, particularly his photographic body images, has had an incredible resonance among the national and international art critic. However, it has not been exhibited as one of the few visual manifestations which knew how to be tuned with the different tendencies of photographic art in the last couple of decades. In order to confirm his conceptual importance, we have delimited his production between the years of 1967 and 1977. The structure of the chapters does not necessarily follow a chronological order, but rather the relationship between the creative act and the complex of series. We have highlighted the analysis oh his self portraits and portraits, as well as the film, where the art of disappearance by Jean Baudrillard supports the concept of photographic pause. A Paused Pose emphasizes the portrait, the disturbing objects and the alarming images which conceived the relationship between the artist and the world during a period of art crisis. However, the crisis of the subject in Antonio Manuel is challenging, for it has subverted the models and disarticulated the references by facing the work process with struggle and creativity. The spectator participant becomes an accomplice of this freedom.

Analyzes her artistic construction, making associations between pictorial art in its diverse self-portraits and literary art of intimate diary, marked by pain and suffering. We are guided our work in translated form of the work Pain and Art, Urania Peres; The Diary de Frida Kahlo, transcribed by Carlos Fuentes, translated into Portuguese by Frederico de Morais. We use the theoretical, Sigmund Freud to ramble on flows conscious and unconscious; Jacques Lacan in the refractions of the signs in mirrors; Claude Zilberberg in tensividade of signs; Gonçalves, for the conduct of studies on the signs, among others. The rich creative inner world of the artist who combines in his major work in analysis – O Intimate Diary - a profusion of codes in expressive movements and semantic pluralities linked in a distinctive style in the visual arts and correspondences between them. The discursive resulting from cosmetic procedure produced by Kahlo generates various types of signs associations, making their many meanings arts and unique art with unusual character of its aesthetic exercise. / Esta pesquisa conduziu nossa percepção para as intermediações plurais das linguagens artísticas verbo-visuais presentes na arte da mexicana Frida Kahlo. Analisa-se a sua construção artística, fazendo associações entre a arte pictórica em seus diversificados autorretratos e a arte literária do diário íntimo, marcadas pela dor e sofrimento. Norteamos nosso trabalho na forma traduzida da obra Dor e Arte, de Urania Peres; O Diário de Frida Kahlo, transcrito por Carlos Fuentes, traduzido para o Português por Frederico de Morais. Recorremos aos teóricos, Sigmund Freud para divagar sobre os fluxos conscientes e inconscientes; Jacques Lacan nas refrações dos signos em espelhos; Claude Zilberberg na tensividade dos signos; Gonçalves, para o desenrolar dos estudos sobre os signos, entre outros. O rico universo interior criativo da artista que conjuga dentro de sua obra principal em análise - O Diário Íntimo - uma profusão de códigos em movimentos expressivos e pluralidades semânticas, vinculados num estilo diferenciado nas artes plásticas e nas correspondências entre eles. A resultante discursiva do procedimento estético produzido por Kahlo gera associações de variados tipos de signos, tornando sua arte plurissignificativa e singular com caráter insólito do seu exercício estético.

Por meio da análise dos autorretratos realizados por Geraldo de Barros ao longo de sua trajetória profissional, esta dissertação elencou os procedimentos criativos explorados pelo artista na produção de suas fotografias. Dentre os observados, destacam-se: a manipulação da luminosidade original das cenas, por meio do reenquadramento do negativo durante a ampliação das fotografias; a apropriação de estilemas da cultura imagética do cinema norteamericano, em especial, dos filmes noir. Verificou-se também que Barros produziu cópias fotográficas com o aspecto de imagens negativas, dentre outros chistes visuais, com o intuito de desafiar a capacidade perceptiva do público. Por fim, as técnicas de decupagem, montagem e justaposição de negativos e fotografias sobre placas de vidro; assim como a duplicação de contatos e negativos vintage para serem utilizados como matérias primas na produção das colagens da série \"Sobras\"; e a decisão de retirar a própria imagem de todas as fotografias que integram esse último trabalho, com exceção daquela denominada pelo artista como o seu derradeiro autorretrato, foram os procedimentos de destaque observados durante a investigação. A estratégia de eleger os autorretratos de Geraldo de Barros como ponto de partida para o estudo possibilitou constatar que tais obras podem ser utilizadas como chaves de interpretação das diferentes posturas que ele adotou, em diferentes momentos de sua trajetória, perante a arte e o seu papel como profissional. / By analyzing Geraldo de Barros\' self-portraits throughout his professional career, this dissertation listed the creative procedures explored by the artist while producing his photographs. Among the ones that were observed, we highlight: the appropriation of Hollywood\'s imagery culture, especially of so-called noir movies; as well as the use of the techniques of decoupage, assembly and juxtaposition of negatives and photographs on glass plates. In addition, we verified that Barros manipulated the original luminosity of the scenes, by reframing the negatives during the development of the photographs. We also demonstrated that Barros produced photographic copies that resembled a negative image, among other visual puns, in order to challenge the perceptive ability of the public. Along with the artist\'s decision to duplicate contacts and vintage negatives to be used as a base on the production of the collages for the series \"Sobras\". And, finally, the resolution to remove his own image of all the photographs that compose his later work, with the exception of the one that Barros calls his ultimate self-portrait, were the outstanding procedures observed during the investigation. The strategy of electing Geraldo de Barros\' self-portraits as a starting point for the study made it possible to verify that such works can be used as keys to interpret the different postures that he adopted at different moments of his trajectory regarding art and his role as a professional.
