Mirrors and Vanities is a multi-modal collection which showcases the diversity of working in long and short storytelling forms. Featured in this thesis are fiction, nonfiction, graphic narrative, and screenplay. Using unconventional approaches to storytelling in order to achieve emotional resonance with the audience while maintaining high standards for craft, these stories and essays explore the costs inherent to the subtle nuances of interpersonal relationships. The fiction focuses on the complications of characters keeping secrets. A husband discovers the truth behind his wife’s miscarriage. A girl visits her fiancé in purgatory. A boy crosses a line and loses his best friend. Meanwhile, the nonfiction centers on self-discovery and gender roles associated with power struggles. A schizophrenic threatens to ruin my mother’s wedding. I rediscover my relationship with my father through food writing. Sword-work teaches me to fail and succeed at making martial art. The title work of the thesis is a collaged story highlighting the tribulations of a physicist fixated on recovering his lost love by manipulating the multiverse. The multi-modal format implicates the nebulosity of physics theories and how different aspects of the narrative can be presented in various formats to best suit the nature of the storytelling. Through the interactions of characters in mundane and extraordinary circumstances, the works in this thesis examine the consequences of choice, the contrast between reality and expectation, coming of age, and the Truth of narrative.

The general aim of this research is the development of categories and codes (according to Saldaña's terminology, 2009) of the uses, functions and properties of the floor in dance. We have followed a methodology based on the qualitative analysis of a video corpus of dance works that were selected representive of a specific language (classical, modern and new dance) or as belonging to a particular historical moment (our research ranges from the end of the 19th century to the present), although some choreographies have also been included due to their contribution to the use of the floor in dance. In addition, this selection has been restricted by the availability of the works in video format. The final list of the works we have been analysing makes a total of 295 choreographies, 11 of which have been examined in depth so as to develop a qualitative codification. Once the categories had been established, the different aspects of the corpus of dances could be finally described and, in each category, the codes, which are the values of the dances, were also constituted. From the video-based qualitative analysis we propose different categories, grouped into three meta-categories focusing on the body techniques, the characteristics of the ground/floor, and the representation. / El objetivo general de esta investigación es el desarrollo de categorías y códigos (según la terminología de Saldaña, 2009) de los usos, funciones y características del suelo en la danza, por lo que hemos seguido una metodología basada en el análisis cualitativo de un corpus de videos de obras dancísticas, seleccionadas por ser representativas de un lenguaje concreto (clásico, moderno y new dance) o por pertenecer a un momento histórico determinado (nuestra investigación parte desde finales del siglo XIX y llega hasta la época actual), aunque también hemos incluido algunas coreografías que consideramos relevantes por su aportación respecto al uso del suelo. Esta selección también se ha visto condicionada a la disponibilidad en formato video de las obras. El listado final de obras sobre las que hemos trabajado ha sido del orden de 400 coreografías, de las cuales 11 han sido analizadas en profundidad para desarrollar la codificación cualitativa, estableciendo unas categorías de análisis que han permitido describir los diferentes aspectos del corpus de danzas, y en cada categoría, establecer unos códigos que son los valores que pueden adquirir las danzas. Este trabajo de visionado ha tenido como resultado del análisis cualitativo diversas categorías, y nos hemos centrado en las relativas al cuerpo, a las propiedades del suelo para la danza y a la representación.. / Aquesta investigació te com a objectiu el desenvolupament de categories i codis (segons terminologia de Saldaña, 2009) dels usos, funcions i caracterítiques del sòl a la dansa, per la qual cosa hem seguit una metodologia d'anàlisi qualitativa d'un corpus de vídeos de dansa, seleccionats perquè són representatius dels diferents llenguatges (clàssic, modern i new dance) o perquè pertanyen a un moment històric determinat (la nostra investigació s'inicia a finals del segle XIX i arriba fins a l'època actual), encara que també hi hem inclòs algunes coreografies que considerem rellevants per la seua aportació a la dansa en l'ús del sòl. La selecció s'ha vist condicionada a la disponibilitat de les obres en format vídeo, essent un total de vora 295 les coreografies analitzades, de les quals 11 han estat treballades en profunditat per al desenvolupament de la codificació qualitativa, constituïnt unes categories d'anàlisi que han permés descriure els diferents aspectes del corpus de danses, i establint a cada categoria uns codis com a resultat dels valors que les danses poden adquirir. Aquest treball de visionat presenta, com a resultat de l'anàlisi qualitativa, diverses categories, i la nostra investigació s'ha centrat en les que són estrictaments corporals, les referides a les propietats del sòl en relació a la dansa i les de la seua representació. / Arnal Rodrigo, RV.
