Reading Jean Rhys : empire, modernism and the politics of the visual

Downes, Sarah January 2014 (has links)
This thesis considers the relationship between literary modernism and visual culture in the work of Caribbean modernist Jean Rhys. Through analysis of a range of visual modes—theatre, fashion, visual art, cinema and exhibition culture—it examines the racialised sexual politics of Rhys’s modernist aesthetics, as represented in her texts of the 1920s—30s. I read Rhys’s four interwar novels—Quartet (1928), After Leaving Mr Mackenzie (1930), Voyage in the Dark (1934) and Good Morning, Midnight (1939)—in the context of contemporary visual practices and the politics of empire. Rhys’s descriptions of artistic practices, acts of viewing and interpreting art, and the identification of her protagonists as both objects and consumers of art are a crucial aspect of her anti-colonial feminism. The politics of vision and of empire are always intertwined for Rhys. Chapter One studies theatrical spectacle and everyday performances of the self. Chapter Two moves to the fashioning of female identities and sartorial constructions of Englishness. Chapter Three turns to Rhys’s use of ekphrasis to question representational structures as they exist in the modernist, primitivist art context. Chapter Four reads Rhys and cinema, focusing on divided or fractured subjectivities as relayed through allusions to distorted mirrors. This conveys Rhys’s powerful evocation of themes of alienation and dislocation. I conclude by analysing what ‘exhibition’ means for those occupying both subject and object visual positions within the imperial metropolis. Analysis is supported by readings of unpublished short stories, letters and poems, works that are relatively absent from current Rhys scholarship. The conjunction of revolutions in the visual arts and the destabilization of the empire in the modernist period provides clear space for investigation into the creation of new ways of seeing that provided a degree of visual agency for those deemed incapable of aesthetic production. Crucial to this is Rhys’s own Creolité. Situated within and outside of European visual subjectivity, Rhys’s work becomes vital to any study of social acts of seeing, in terms of individual subjectivity and within the wider systems of vision produced through the arts. / published_or_final_version / English / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

A series of viewer interactive sculptures

Vorhees, Chris January 1997 (has links)
The challenge of creating a dialogue between a viewer and an artwork is the next logical step in the evolution of my artwork. The problem is to find a way of creating art that does not only remain visual. By the same token, also to create something that does not remain purely conceptual and out of touch. In order to make the experience of encountering artwork more meaningful, a merging of physical and mental interaction in the viewer is strived for.This project serves as a tool for reflection on myself and understanding a way of working. It also provides an opportunity to clarify many of the beliefs and positions that I hold to be true in what I do in theory and practice. This project attempts to provide viewers new experiences with art through interaction. / Department of Art

La théorie de la lecture chez Marcel Proust

Medvedev, Yevgeny 15 September 2011 (has links)
The abstract of the dissertation « La théorie de la lecture chez Marcel Proust », submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for PhD to be awarded in June 2010. L’écriture en tant que forme de communication se prête à une analyse bipartite : (1) l’auteur dans son rapport au texte – le côté rhétorique ; (2) le lecteur dans son effort interprétatif face à ce même texte – le côté herméneutique. Face à la multitude de réflexions traitant les particularités génétiques et poétiques de la Recherche, il y a une pénurie de critiques qui, au lieu de privilégier une des parties susmentionnées, posent le regard sur les deux à la fois dans un but d’en observer des interactions. L’entre-croisement des stratégies d’écriture et des effets de lecture s’inscrit bien dans le cadre de la théorie de communication. Ma thèse se place dans la lignée tracée par Serge Doubrovsky, Michael Finn et Julia Kristeva qui se sont interrogés sur les façons dont la composante rhétorique d’un texte littéraire influence sa lecture. Le maintien de cette double perspective simultanée permet de suivre la construction du pont liant les pôles rhétorique et herméneutique. Je développe une approche apte à saisir les observations provenant du côté de production et de celui de réception et à en offrir une synthèse. Cette approche consiste en une hybridation entre la rhétorique, en tant qu’art de persuader, et la psychanalyse pour en arriver à l’herméneutique, ou à un produit de l’effort interprétatif. La psychanalyse justifie et délimite l’enquête sur les processus rhétoriques de la production de l’énoncé. De l’autre côté, l’impact de la rhétorique sur l’herméneutique se facilite par la subversion. Cette notion herméneutico-rhétorique emprunte à la théorie des horizons d’attente de Jauss et s’inspire de l’argumentum ad hominem de la rhétorique classique. J’utilise cette notion synthétique pour étudier l’implication du lecteur dans la diégèse et pour explorer la manière dont une telle implication intéressée influence l’interprétation. L’application de cette méthode de travail au texte de la Recherche se fait le long les trois axes. Le premier s’interroge sur la communication, cherchant à l’expliquer à partir des obstacles qui l’empêchent. Le résultat de ce parcours est l’observation que la communication se réalise lorsqu’un sujet communiquant devient aussi un objet. Le deuxième axe place les défis communicatifs dans le contexte des enjeux entre le particulier et le général – contexte du problème herméneutique. Sur le troisième axe se range la discussion de la prise de possession à laquelle est censée aboutir la résolution du problème herméneutique. J’explique que, par l’entremise de l’introjection et de l’incorporation, la quête de la possession devient névrotique et impossible à réaliser. Je conclus en remarquant que la communication efficace doit commencer par la problématisation du sujet et par sa transformation en objet.

Convergência de linguagens nas artes visuais : cinema, vídeo, teatro e internet /

Farias, Daniela Santos de. January 2013 (has links)
Orientador: Rosangela da Silva Leote / Banca: Pollyana Ferrari / Banca: Agnaldo Valente / Resumo: Esta dissertação tem por objetivo a análise e a investigação acerca da hipótese de convergência de linguagens nas artes visuais: cinema, vídeo, teatro, por meio de suportes orgânicos e tecnológicos com o uso da internet ou não. Foram apresentados e analisados obras de teatro como, a Companhia Phila7, Teatro Para Alguém, La Fura dels Baus, a peça teatral Descrição de Imagem - DDI de Heiner Müller, o Cinema Vivo do cineasta Alexandre Carvalho, o filme SuperBarroco da cineasta Renata Pinheiro, o filme Lixo de Cabeceira de Peter Greenaway, o docmentário 33 de Kiko Goifman, o filme a Bruxa de Blair dos diretores Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sánchez, a Shadow Art de Tim Noble e Sue Webster, A Câmera Obscura de Abelardo Morell e a Ópera Dido e Aeneas de Henry Purcell. Para o embasamento teórico, foram resgatadas considerações a respeito do pensamento complexo, a questão do dispositivo, da convergência, do hipertexto, do rizoma, a questão do virtual, do hibridismo, com o intuito de demonstrar a confluência existente entre diferentes linguagens. Por isso, recoremos às ideias de Edgar Morin, Arlindo Machado, Lúcia Santaella, George Landow, Pierre Lévy, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Heiner Müller, Henry Jenkins, Serguei Eisenstein, Umberto Eco, Katia Maciel, Urbano Nobre Nojosa, Pollyana Ferrari, Agnus Valente, entre outros.
