[pt] No início dos anos 2010, críticos culturais apontaram o surgimento de uma nova corrente cinematográfica na produção independente europeia. A Estranha Onda Grega, como se popularizou, foi rapidamente associada à crise econômica deflagrada na Grécia em 2009, sendo seus filmes percebidos como retratos de um país em polvorosa. Em anos recentes, essa corrente de filmes passou a ser revista e questionada. A dissertação defende e argumenta que a Estranha Onda Grega não busca representar um país em crise (econômica, política ou moral), mas mergulhar na contemporaneidade - no sentido que Giorgio Agamben atribui a esse termo. Assim, entendemos que estes filmes focalizam, por meio da estranheza, a obscuridade do tempo presente. Propomos, ademais, que o mal-estar experimentado pelo espectador dessa cinematografia está relacionado a uma dinâmica disruptiva que atravessa os filmes no que tange à temporalidade, ao espaço, à estética, aos afetos entre personagens e à relação entre filme e espectador. A pesquisa parte de conceitos como a disciplinarização dos corpos e formação do discurso, em Michel Foucault, a emancipação espectatorial, em Jacques Rancière, a percepção, em Jonathan Crary, o tempo intemporal, em Manuel Castells, e o cinema de fluxo e seus afetos, para, em diálogo com eles, estabelecer um pequeno panorama da Estranha Onda Grega com a análise dos filmes Dente Canino (2009), de Yorgos Lanthimos; Interrupção (2015), de Yorgos Zois; Piedade (2018), de Babis Makridis; e Fruto da Memória (2020), de Christos Nikou. / [en] In the early 2010s, cultural critics pointed to the emergence of a new cinematic current in European independent film production. The Greek Weird Wave, as it came to be known, was soon associated with the economic crisis that broke out in Greece in 2009 and its films were perceived as portraits of a country in shambles. In recent years, however, this notion was revised and questioned. This dissertation argues that the Greek Weird Wave does not seek to represent a country in crises (economic, political, moral or otherwise), but to delve in contemporaneity – in the sense that Giorgio Agamben attributes to this term. Therefore, it is our understanding that these films focus, through weirdness, on the obscurity of present time. Furthermore, we propose that the discomfort experienced by the spectator whilst watching these films is related to the disruptive dynamics that constitute the diegetic configurations of time, space, aesthetics, affections between characters, and the relation between the films themselves and their spectators. This research is based on concepts such as the disciplinarization of bodies and the formation of discourse, according to Michel Foucault, spectatorial emancipation, according to Jacques Rancière, perception, according to Jonathan Crary, timeless time, according to Manuel Castells, and the cinema of flux and its affections. Based on these notions, we will establish a small overview of the Greek Weird Wave with the analyses of the following films: Dogtooth (2009), by Yorgos Lanthimos; Interruption (2015), by Yorgos Zois; Pity (2018), by Babis Makridis; and Apples (2020), by Christos Nikou.

S'inspirant de l'inconscient collectif jungien, « détaché des sphères personnelles, exist[e] en marge de celles-ci, [...] possède un caractère tout à fait général et [...] ses contenus peuvent se rencontrer chez tous les êtres1 », le concept de la psychosphère, tel que présenté dans la télésérie américaine True Detective (HBO, 2014), en est la trame de fond narrative. Décrire l'invisible et l'intangible n'est possible que par l'étude de ses manifestations. Ce mémoire s'intéresse donc aux phénomènes et aux concepts qui rendent possible la représentation de ce que Ralph Noyes décrit comme un « vast and complex cauldron of ideas, memories, volitions, desires and all the other furniture of conscious experience and unconscious mental functioning2 ». Outre les questions plus larges de la généalogie du récit, la poétique narrative de la psychosphère relève essentiellement de l'archive: True Detective fait maintes allusions à la fiction gothique américaine. Celles-ci désignent à leur tour une explication transhistorique d'un retour à la violence ritualisée. Toutefois, cette explication, s'il en est une, demeure fragmentée, incohérente et ultimement différée. / Inspired by Jung's collective unconscious, the concept of a psychosphere, as seen in HBO's hit series True Detective (2014), underlines the narrative structure of the show. Describing the invisible and the intangible is only made possible by the study of its manifestations. This thesis analyses the phenomena and concept which enable the representation of what Ralph Noyes describes as a « vast and complex cauldron of ideas, memories, volitions, desires and all the other furniture of conscious experience and unconscious mental functioning3 ». Apart from broader questions of genealogy, the narrative poetics of the psychosphere are essentially archival: True Detective contains many allusions to previous Gothic fictions, which point toward an trans-historical explanation for the return of ritualized violence. However, any such explanation is fragmented, incoherent, and ultimately deferred.

Mémoire en recherche-création / Ce mémoire a pour objectif d’explorer les différents moyens cinématographiques mis en place par le cinéaste américain David Lynch afin de comprendre comment ce dernier parvient à transporter son audience dans un monde fantastique et bien sûr, étrange. En nous appuyant sur les premières définitions freudiennes de ce que représente l’inquiétante étrangeté (Das Unheimliche), nous explorerons les codes et images récurrentes dans la cinématographie lynchéenne qui font des films du réalisateur des œuvres aux caractères étranges, après avoir étudié en détail les éléments qui nous permettent de classer les œuvres de l’auteur dans la catégorie des œuvres fantastiques. / This thesis aims to explore the different cinematographic means implemented by David Lynch in order to understand how he manages to transport his audience in a fantastic and of course, strange world. By informing ourselves about the first Freudian definitions of what represents the uncanny (Das Unheimliche), we will explore the recurrent codes and images in Lynchian cinematography which make the director’s films works uncanny, right after having studied in detail the elements that allow us to classify the author’s works in the fantastic genre section.

For whom do we draw buildings? Why does contemporary architecture look the way it does?Why are certain aesthetics considered more valid than others? With this project, I propose Dirty Geometry: norm-bending design that could challenge conventions within the field of architecture. It is an investigation of concepts such as ugliness, beauty, architecture and the human body, interiority, femininity and ”bad taste”. The purpose is to, with the aid of parametric design processes, make Stockholm less boring and more dirty. Dirty Geometry is both the creative process sprung from one’s personal desires, and the resulting design. It aims to celebrate the weird, playful and colorful in an empowering way. This thesis project draws a lot of inspiration from camp aesthetics and drag culture, because of the way humour is used in a subversive way to question gender identities, power structures and norms.
