31	Konstruerad utsatthet : En bildsemiotisk analys av Nathalie Djurbergs stop motion-filmer Greed och Cave / Constructed exposedness : A visual semiotic analysis of Nathalie Djurberg’s stop motion-films Greed and Cave Cserhalmi, Nora January 2019 (has links) This essay aims to analyse how the exposedness is constructed in the Swedish contemporary artist Nathalie Djurberg’s two stop motion-films Greed and Cave. Five stills from Greed and three stills from Cave will be examined from a feminist perspective with a theoretical viewpoint based on theories from both art history and film studies. The method applied is visual semiotics which focuses on how meaning is created within an artwork rather than what the meaning is. The stills from Djurberg’s films are analysed first on a denotative level and then on a connotative level. Furthermore, visual semiotics theorises that everything is made up of systems of signs which allows this essay to study how the women in Djurberg’s movies functions as signs. The essay demonstrated that the women in Djurberg’s films can be seen as passive objects under the power of the male gaze. However, the analysis also displayed that the woman in Cave can be perceived as someone who defies the patriarchal norms for how a woman should behave and look. Nonetheless, the exposedness of these women seems to be constructed firstly in their bodies and how they are represented, both in looks but also how they are posed to reinforce patriarchal conventions in the female representation, and secondly in their relation to male characters - or the implied male gaze from a spectator - in the films. The women in Djurberg’s films can thus be understood as signs for male sexual desires, as signs for the Woman posing as the Man’s opposite, as the objective for His gaze.

32	La poésie graphique : Christian Dotremont, Roland Giguère, Henri Michaux et Jérôme Peignot Pelard, Emmanuelle 12 1900 (has links) L’objet de cette thèse est de définir un type de poésie visuelle moderne (XXe-XXIe), que nous avons nommé la poésie graphique et qui attache une importance considérable à l’expérimentation plastique du signe graphique, qui manifeste une conscience aiguë des ressources visuelles de la graphie et entend réaliser la poésie dans la matérialité des formes de l’écriture. Cette pratique graphique et plastique du poème s’inscrit dans la continuité, mais également dans un certain renouveau des avant-gardes poétiques et artistiques du XXe siècle, notamment du surréalisme. La poésie graphique désigne une pratique de la poésie à caractère spécifiquement graphique, qui recouvre tant une peinture du signe qu’un travail typographique de la lettre pour élaborer le poème. La particularité des poètes graphiques est leur double vocation, celle d’écrivain et celle de plasticien. Ils expérimentent l’écriture dans sa dimension linguistique et dans sa dimension graphique, en considérant que l’activité de scription ou de linotypie — c’est-à-dire la peinture ou le dessin du mot, du signe graphique, la typographie et l’édition — est déjà littérature. Autrement dit, ils envisagent que la création et la matérialisation du poème procèdent du même geste. Les logogrammes de Christian Dotremont, les poèmes-estampes et les livres d’artistes (Éditions Erta) de Roland Giguère, les recueils de signes inventés et d’encres d’Henri Michaux et la typoésie de Jérôme Peignot constituent des formes de poésie graphique. Notre étude porte donc sur des œuvres francophones, issues des domaines belge, français et québécois, produites entre 1950 et 2004. Trois caractéristiques définissent principalement la poésie graphique : l’ambiguïté et le nomadisme du signe du poème par rapport aux ordres sémiotiques — scriptural, iconique et plastique —, la présence d’un rythme et d’un lyrisme graphiques, comme modalités de l’expression du sujet dans la matière graphique, et une remise en cause de la ligne de partage entre les arts autographiques et allographiques, nécessitant de nouveaux modes de perception et de lecture du poème et du livre, soit une « iconolecture » et une « tactilecture ». / The purpose of this thesis is to define a type of modern visual poetry (20th – 21st), that we called graphic poetry. The graphic poetry focuses on a plastic and visual experimentation of the graphic sign, demonstrates an important conscience of the visual potential of the written form and tries to produce poetry in the materiality of the writing shapes. This artistic practice of poetry follows and also renews the poetic and plastic avant-gardes of the 20th century, more particularly surrealism. The graphic poetry refers to a practice of poem which is specifically graphic and includes a painting of the sign as a typographic work of the letter in order to produce the poem. The main characteristic of graphic poets is their double vocation : they are writers and visual artists. They experiment writing in its linguistic dimension and its graphic dimension, because they believe that the action of drawing a line or making of a linotype setting — namely the painting or the drawing of the word, of the graphic sign, the typography and the publishing — is already literature. In other words, graphic poets think that the creation and the materialization of the poem proceed of the same gesture. Christian Dotremont’s logograms, Roland Giguère’s artists’ books (Editions Erta) and prints-poems, Henri Michaux’s anthologies of invented painted signs and Jérôme Peignot’s typoems are some forms of graphic poetry. Our study focuses on francophone works, which come from Belgian, French and Quebec fields, published between 1950 and 2004. Three characteristics mainly define the graphic poetry : the ambiguity and the nomadism of the sign in relation to the semiotic systems (graphic, iconic and plastic), graphics rhythm and lyricism, as modalities of the expression of the subject in the graphic material, and a questioning of the distinction between autographic arts and allographic arts, requiring new ways of perception and reading of the poem and the book, that we called visual-reading and touch-reading. / Réalisé en cotutelle avec l'Université de la Sorbonne - Paris IV Poésie visuelle XXe-XXIe Poésie graphique Livre d'artiste Sémiotique visuelle Rythme, lyrisme Visual poetry 20th-21st Graphic poetry Artist's book Christian Dotremont Roland Giguère Henri Michaux Jérôme Peignot Visual semiotics Rhythm, lyricism
33	Iscensättning av sjukdom : En performativ och bildsemiotisk studie av svenska konvalescentmotiv 1884–1933 / The Staging of Sickness : A Performative and Visual Semiotic Study of Swedish Convalescence Motifs from 1884–1933 Cserhalmi, Nora January 2021 (has links) This thesis concerns six Swedish paintings depicting sick or convalescent individuals; Richard Bergh’s Konvalescent (unfinished, 1886), Flickan och Döden (1888), Eva Bonnier’s Magdalena (1887), Gustaf Magnusson’s Konvalescent (1933), Jenny Nyström’s Konvalescenten (1884), and Georg Pauli’s Vid sjukbädden (1885). The purpose of this study is to examine how sickness is portrayed and staged using performative theory and visual semiotics. The thesis takes into account that tuberculosis, being a widespread disease during the 18th and 19th Century, made it a topic of exploration in the contemporary art. With this as the framework the thesis examines whether or not it is possible to diagnose the depicted individuals. The results shows that sickness first and foremost is portrayed and staged in signs regarding the body: the face, the hands, and how the body is posed. Lastly, it is suggested that these artworks can be seen as cultural symbols of TB, since not being viable for a strictly medicinal diagnosis they are more the result of the contemporary need to examine TB and its effects on society and culture. The paintings becomes – such as a body is a vessel for a disease – vessels for the disease culturally speaking. convalescence sickness TB performativity visual semiotics denotative connotative sign paratext peritext epitext anti-narrative diagnosis agency passiveness ritualistic memory body vessel konvalescent sjukdom tuberkulos performativitet bildsemiotik denotativ konnotativ tecken peritext epitext anti-narrativ diagnos agens passivitet minne kropp Art History Konstvetenskap Visual Arts Bildkonst
34	Homoerotisk sensibilitet : Byggandet av homosexuell identitet genom konsthistorien / Homoerotic Sensibility : The Construction of Homosexual Identity Throughout the History of Art Varnauskas, Jacob January 2020 (has links) The question of homoerotic sensibility is, in the purpose of this thesis, a matter of visual language connected to the portrayal of male bodies. By identifying this sensibility throughout the western art canon the essay seeks to understand its origins, development and function in relation to expressions of power. With the introduction of theorists such as Alois Riegl, Laura Mulvey, Abigail Solomon-Godeau and Raewyn Connell, the aim is to deconstruct homosexual masculinity. Adapting formal analysis and parts of visual semiotics, the focus lies on the visual expression of power through the homoerotic gaze, and asks what consequences it has in forming homosexual identity. Greek antiquity is home not only to the ideals that foster western art history, but is also where we find early examples of same-sex affection being portrayed in the arts. Hence classical antiquity is so important for the homoerotic: whenever the classical language of style is popular throughout history, we are sure to find homoerotic sensibility. For reasons mentioned, the main periods analyzed are the Italian Renaissance, the French Neoclassicism and then, naturally the late 20th century onwards as this is the period of gay liberation and modern homosexual identity. By identifying classical acceptance of homosexual relations only in the form of a clear social hierarchy, we soon discover how homosexuality has appropriated the idea of binary difference within its masculinity throughout history. Accepting relationships only between erastes and eromenos, or man and ephebe, homosexuality is forced to exist only on the terms of difference of power. With classical ideals, these tendencies are recurring in the visual representation of male homosexuality, and becomes a big part of the liberation and forming of a modern identity in the late twentieth century. As a result of objectification of the male body, in combination with idealized and sexualized power, modern gay culture has in many ways embraced a destructive culture shaped by misogynist ideas of hegemonic culture, where sexual violence exists, but is not spoken of. art history homoerotic art homoerotic painting homoerotic photography homoerotic gaze male gaze power relations antiquity identity queer theory masculinity gay culture sexuality homosexuality male representation construction body bodies visual semiotics gender gender studies Renaissance Neoclassicism Postmodernism Michelangelo di Buonarotti Ganymede Wolfgang Tillmans Paul Cadmus Tom of Finland Jacques-Louis David Merry-Joseph Blondel Michael Leonard konsthistoria konstvetenskap homoerotisk konst homoerotiskt måleri homoerotiskt fotografi homoerotik homoerotisk blick manlig blick maktförhållanden antiken identitet queerteori manlighetsforskning maskulinitet maskulinitetsteori gay kultur bög kultur sexualitet homosexualitet manlig representation konstruktion konstruktivism kropp kroppar visuell semiotik semiotik genus kön genusvetenskap renässans nyklassicism postmodernism Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst Art History Konstvetenskap
