Intersections : Baudrillard's hyperreality and Lyotard's metanarratives in selected Tarantino Visual TropesStubbs, Evelyn 06 1900 (has links)
This dissertation examines two films directed by Quentin Tarantino, whom I have situated as a postmodern film director, within the theoretical context of the philosophies of two postmodern philosophers: Jean Baudrillard and Jean-François Lyotard. I argue that the major institutions of society, such as the family and religion, are viewed as grand narratives, in Lyotard’s sense of the term, which Tarantino repeatedly subverts. Overlapping with this intersection of Lyotard’s philosophy in Tarantino’s films is the Baudrillardian loss of the real, which manifests as hyperreality in many scenes. I suggest that Tarantino makes a conscious effort to create such hyperreality with the creation of playful signifiers in his films. I examine selected scenes to find Baudrillard’s “successive phases of the image” (Baudrillard 2010:6) that lead to the creation of a simulacrum. The compelling intersections between the creation of Baudrillardian simulacra and the subversion of Lyotard’s grand narratives are explored within selected scenes which are deconstructed by means of film narratology, semiotic analysis and narrative analysis. The combination of the various methods of media research in this thesis enables what Jane Stokes calls “a more textured understanding” (2008:27) of the films under discussion. A close reading from a semiotic point of view facilitates a deconstruction of some obscure elements, such as the embedded meaning in lyrics and dialogue or the messages implicit in the mise en scène. / English Studies / M.

Fraktionierungen des philosophischen Diskurses: Über Baudrillard, Lyotard und Nancy ; [Rezension zu: Jean Baudrillard: Das Andere selbst. Habilitation (L''autre par lui-même, dt.), Jean-Francois Lyotard: Postmoderne für Kinder (Le Postmoderne expliqué aux enfants, dt.), Jean-Luc Nancy: Das Vergessen der Philosophie (L''oubli de la philosophie, dt.), alle Wien 1987]Schneider, Ulrich Johannes January 1988 (has links)
Drei fast zugleich veröffentlichte Texte französischer Philosophen zu lesen, mag zum Nachdenken über den Zusammenhang auffordern - hier soll einmal bewußt den Unterschieden nachgegangen werden, zum Erweis der Brüchigkeit des philosophischen Diskurses, der von vielen für manifest gehalten wird. Gibt es eine postmoderne, post-strukturalistische, post-analytische Philosophie? Das ist zweifelhaft. Es gibt Fraktionen. Es gibt so verschiedene Autoren wie Jean Baudrillard, JeanFrancois Lyotard und Jean-Luc Nancy.

Replika på replikaRenberg, Miranda January 2021 (has links)
I’m interested in the way we stage our identity through objects. How objects relate to identity and body. I have been looking into how the self conception and creation of identity is affected by living in an individualistic, capitalistic and mass medial time. I carry a question, how much of the self is really just a replica of a replica? In this essay I discuss how the consumption of different kinds of media gives us knowledge and experiences of the world that is secondary. I explain how I experience that social media creates a thinking where I’m looking at my self from the outside and that this thinking makes my experiences indirect. I look at the individualization of the society and how I think the individualization affects the way we create collective and individual identities. Furthermore, I discuss how object become signifiers of identity and how we, within the consumer society, consume signs rather than objects. I look at the home, as a keeper of identity and memory, I also resemble the home with an organism where the human body only become a part of a bigger body. I discuss how body and object are intertwined both mentally and physically. Jewellery art and corpus is located between art and utility objects, my field gives me the opportunity to discuss the symbolism of the objects we surround ourselves with. In this essay I give a summary of my thinking around materials, methods and sources of inspiration in my work with Replika på replika. I go through my thinking around padded textile objects, the colour pink, the use of aluminium and how I work with reflection and figurative painting. I connect my work with my thoughts on caricatures, cartoons, pop musicians ways of working with characters and to art within different fields.

The Media Image of Mexico in the U.S. / Obraz Mexika v USAŠnobrová, Jitka January 2010 (has links)
The purpose of this Master's thesis is to analyse the image of Mexico in the media of the United States in the first half of 2010. First, the author gives an overview of selected media theories and describes the specifics of the U.S. media market. On the sample of the three media (El Paso Times, New York Times and Fox News) she analyses how were the U.S. media referring about Mexico and its citizens. She is validating hypotheses, which she based on characteristics of each of analysed media. She comes to a conclusion that reporting about Mexico varies among the selected media, which reflects specifics of each of them. In conclusion, she is applying some of the media theories presented in the first chapter. She finds that CNN effect and framing occur. Additionally, she argues that Baudrillard's simulacrum also appears.

Paranoid Epistemologies: Essays on Thomas Pynchon and the Scene of DisappearanceRaguz, Christopher 01 January 2019 (has links)
The following five essays are connected by their reference to a scene – imagined by the author Thomas Pynchon. The disappearance of historical cause, the subject, and the human constitute this epistemological scene. Each essay can be read without logically building off of any other – yet they form a wider assemblage of interpretative theory. These are fragments capable of recombination in any order. They shun systematization but welcome kinship. Pynchon's fiction is the substrate underlying each. Abstract machines of theorists thinking on similar wavelengths are used as catalysts in an effort to force a reaction – an attempt to transmute the stories of paranoid schlemihls into yet more paranoid epistemologies.
How do we understand the degree to which we are organized by whatever systematizes? How do we relate to whatever organizes our knowledge, our identities? What, exactly, is playing us? These are the anxieties these essays share with Pynchon's characters and formulate the questions driving their theory. Call it the Post-Modern, the Post-Human, or any other Post, Pynchon anticipated its event horizon half a century before its more obvious implications made themselves clear. If we have passed fully over this horizon, figuring out where we are and what's going on has become a question of survival, and Pynchon's anticipation of our contemporary scene have become increasingly salient. These essays offer paranoid epistemologies for the age of disappearance.

Let's Exchange the ExperienceHinshaw, Jesse Creede 20 April 2009 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to attain an understanding of my work for the viewer as well as myself. These works on paper are visual documents illustrating my ideas and opinions about media and its desire for control. Through research, critical thinking, experience, and exposure to media (both wanted and unwanted) I have created imagery that I feel is exemplary of our forced relationship with advertising. In order to accomplish this I studied my influences, and the origin of my current work. Reading upon realization of those influences further informed the work. Every conceivable influence was studied and analyzed, and those studies are contained in this thesis. Questions of audience, scale, medium, and history were also taken into account as a measure to make this thesis cohesive. As an audience for advertisers we must constantly be aware of how our sensitivities are being played upon.

On Critique Of Architectural Image:reading Jean Baudrillard Through Jean NouvelUslu, Irem 01 January 2011 (has links) (PDF)
The aim of this study is to question the relationality between conception of image, social condition of an era and architecture. With acceptance of a transition to a new kind of relationality in contemporary era, a trialectical analysis is carried on, in order to understand changes in this relationality and its effects on contemporary architecture. Image, mainly depicted as the tool for communication, loses its transcendental and ideal status and degrades to an artificial and tricky state under the contemporary social condition. Likewise, current state of both image and social condition manipulates architecture, architectural production and the position of architect. Therefore, in this study, for understanding the new social condition, it is referred to the world constituted as a system of sign in philosophy of French thinker, Jean Baudrillard which originates from new status of image. For comprehension of contemporary architecture, it is referred to the practice of French architect, Jean Nouvel who features special value to image in his architecture. Finally, for consequences of this collision and effects on architecture, it is referred to the analysis of the book of &ldquo / The Singular Objects of Architecture&rdquo / which is composed of dialogues between Jean Baudrillard and Jean Nouvel.

Perstorpsbordet och Miss Blanche : Designföremålens representationer samt sociala- och känslomässiga värdenKu, Martin January 2017 (has links)
Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilken funktion designföremål har utöver den praktiska användarfunktionen. Jag har utgått från två designföremål, det så kallade Perstorpsbordet och Miss Blanche som studieföremål. Mina frågeställningar har varit att undersöka hur dessa föremål representeras utifrån webbannonser samt designföremålens sociala och känslomässiga funktionsaspekt. Materialet som har använts i analysen har varit webbannonser, blogginlägg, artiklar och instagramminlägg som beskriver dessa designföremål. Som teoriska perspektiv har jag utgått från Jean Baudrillards objektteori, Pierre Bourdieus fältteori samt den populärvetenskapliga filosofen Alan de Bottons resonemang från ”Happiness of Architecture”. Varje kapitel utgår från varsin filosof och som metod har jag bland annat använt mig av semiotik för att tolka tecken och symboler i designföremålens.

De mångfaldiga David : Om poststrukturalistisk förståelse av simulacra och dess verkan i Adrían Villar Rojas' Two sunsErik, Sandberg January 2016 (has links)
In September 2015, Argentinean artist Adrían Villar Rojas opened the exhibition Two suns at the Marian Goodman Gallery in New York. Featuring in the exhibition was a clay statue which resembled Michelangelo’s David albeit lying down and with some slight modifications to its pose and facial features for example. This paper aims to explore the possible link between the clay statue featured in Two suns and the David in relation to the term simulacra through a poststructuralist reading of Plato, Gilles Deleuze and Jean Baudrillard. By deconstructing the work of art and the theoretical material together both the effects and inner workings of the simulacra in Two suns as well as the constant changing meaning of symbols become mapped out.

Jean Baudrillard und die Ära des Verschwindens, oder: Das Verschwinden des Jean Baudrillard?: Überlegungen zur deutschen Baudrillard-RezeptionHorlacher, Stefan 10 March 2020 (has links)
Gilt der französische Soziologe, Medien- und Kulturtheoretiker Jean Baudrillard in traditionellen Kreisen immer noch als ,neokonservativer Modephilosoph', ,AntiFeminist', ,theoretischer Anarchist' und ,Sandkorn im Getriebe der Wissenschaften', so gewinnen nicht nur angesichts virtueller Cyberwelten, gentechnologischer Fortschritte, elektronischer Kriege, viraler Angriffe auf Computersysteme und verheerender terroristischer Anschläge viele seiner Prognosen und Theorien zunehmend an Bedeutung. Und dies sowohl im soziologischen, politisch-ökonomischen, medientheoretischen als auch kultur- und literaturwissenschaftlichen Bereich.Doch während Baudrillard im anglo-amerikanischen Sprachraum bereits seit langem zum Gegenstand zahlreicher Einführungen und Studien geworden ist - ich verweise nur auf die ,Auseinandersetzung' zwischen Douglas Kellner und Mike Gane zu Anfang der neunziger Jahre - und dort allein in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche Neuerscheinungen zu verzeichnen sind, scheint sich in Deutschland die Lage anders darzustellen.
