O trabalho apresenta um estudo sistematizado da curadoria especial, focando especialmente em sua efetividade para a tutela de vulneráveis processuais. Após abordar a vulnerabilidade no âmbito do processo civil, indica que as hipóteses em que há previsão de atuação do curador especial são situações em que a parte está em condições de especial dificuldade para exercer plenamente seus direitos. É apresentado o histórico da curadoria especial até o contexto atual, em que passa a ser função institucional da Defensoria Pública. Analisa pormenorizadamente as peculiaridades da atuação do curador especial na tutela dos direitos do réu revel citado por edital ou com hora certa, do réu preso e do incapaz sem representante legal ou cujos interesses colidam com os de seu representante. A efetividade da curadoria especial é evidenciada pela forma com que a atividade é desempenhada em cada fase do processo. Além disso, apresenta análise de julgados do Supremo Tribunal Federal, do Superior Tribunal de Justiça e do Tribunal de Justiça do Estado de São Paulo que tratam da atuação do curador especial, demonstrando que, em diversas oportunidades, o exercício desta função traz resultados positivos, ainda que parcialmente, ao litigante vulnerável. Aborda, ainda, dados sobre a curadoria especial no Estado de São Paulo, apontando que a quantidade de processos em que há esta atuação é proporcionalmente pequena em relação ao movimento judiciário total, bem como que o montante empregado diretamente para seu custeio é razoável. O trabalho expõe, ademais, a percepção de defensores públicos do Estado de São Paulo que exercem a atribuição de curadores especiais, por meio de questionário a eles aplicado. Por fim, conjugando todos os dados apresentados, demonstra que a curadoria especial é efetiva para garantir a ampla defesa e o contraditório das partes em situação de vulnerabilidade processual. / This research introduces a systemized study of the special curator´s activity by emphasizing its capacity to provide protection for those in situation of procedural vulnerability. Overcoming the study of the procedural vulnerability, the research shows that the legal rules that determine the special curator´s activity are related to litigants that are in special situations which compromise the practice of its legal rights in court. After providing the special curators development history, the research leads to the allocation of the curator function on to the Public Defender´s Office. The research also analyses the capacity of such activity in order to protect the rights of the defendant in default cited by edict, of the arrested defendant, and of the minor or disable group lacking legal capacity without legal guardian or trustee. Furthermore, the research checks out how the performance of the special curator activity is able to provide a way of overcoming harmful effects from procedural vulnerability in several stages of the civil procedure. Moreover, the research verifies case-laws regarding the special curator activity in the Brazilian Supreme Court of Justice, Brazilian Federal Court of Justice and State of São Paulo´s Court of Appeals. In several opportunities the results are well-founded to the litigant in procedural vulnerability. The information presented regarding the special curator´s activity in the State of São Paulo is able to demonstrate that the legal proceeding quantity and its direct costs are reasonable. An opinion poll on the special curator activities among the Public Defenders reveals their evaluation regarding this subject. Finally, the research put together all the information provided, concluding that the special curator´s activity is able to assist and assure the full defense and the right of adversary proceedings for those in procedural vulnerability situation.

Apresenta uma abordagem do cenógrafo como artista autônomo capaz de elaborar e materializar narrativas próprias, além de acercar-se daquelas já existentes. Um artista que transita por diversas áreas de linguagem, cuja produção coloca a cenografia como protagonista no contexto das Artes Visuais, das Artes Performáticas e da Museografia. Identifica e analisa as intersecções, o ENTRE, das linguagens distintas, nas quais o cenógrafo expressa-se artisticamente: cenografia, instalação e expografia, definindo o termo \'desenho da cena\' para referir-se à produção nas distintas áreas e em suas intersecções. Adota o conceito de \'desenho da cena como experiência\' para tratar da relação e impacto entre o desenho de cena e o indivíduo. Destaca a produção da autora dessa tese, seus \'desenhos de cena\', como objetos de análise, produções realizadas durante o período vigente dessa pesquisa, de 2011 a 2015; complementando, pontualmente, com produções de relevância de outros autores, que elucidam as intersecções e colaboram para análise do tema. Projetos curatoriais recentes que apresentam relevância e influência nas práticas artísticas contemporâneas no campo do desenho da cena são também selecionados para análise, destacando aqueles que aproximam a teatralidade da prática da performance no âmbito da galeria e do museu, estabelecendo distintas possibilidades de percepção e participação do público. Através da abordagem sobre o papel do curador, discute-se o valor potencial na validação dos processos artísticos, consequentemente, do reconhecimento do trabalho de designers de cena como \'obra\'. Essa tese, busca subsidiar a reflexão sobre o processo criativo alinhado com as linguagem e ferramentas da produção artística do cenógrafo na atualidade, na intenção de motivar o artista a deflagrar processos transformadores, inspiradores e que combatam à estagnação e à repetição do mesmo fazer, que provoquem a reflexão sobre a prática e seus processos continuamente, e que possivelmente apontem para aspectos relevantes de sua formação. / Brings up the performance designer\'s attitude, as an independent artist able to develop and materialize own narratives. An artist who moves through various languages areas, whose production places the design for Performance as the protagonist in the context of visual arts, performing arts and exhibition design. This research project aims to Identify and analyze the intersections, the practice In-between of distinct languages, in which the designer expresses artistically through the theatre design, art installation and exhibition design. Adopts the term \'performance design\' to redefining and to refer to the practice in different areas and the intersections, assigning forward the concept of \'performance design as experience\' to address the relationship and impact between performance design and the human being. Highlights the author\'s production of this thesis, her \'performance designs\' as objects of analysis, developed during the current period of this research project - from 2011 to 2015; complementing, punctually, with relevant productions from other authors, which collaborate for analysis of the topic. Recent curatorial projects that demonstrate relevance and influence on contemporary artistic practices in the field of performance design are also analysed, emphasising those approaching the theatricality of the practice of Performance within the gallery and the Museum, establishing distinct possibilities of perception and interactivity. Through the approach of the today curator\'s role, discusses his influence on the validation of artistic processes, therefore, the recognition of the work by performance designers as \'art\'. This thesis seeks to support thinking on how to bearing creative processes lined up with the aesthetic demands, language and tools of artistic production of the performance designers today. Especially on how to motivate the artist to trigger inspiring processes that can combat stagnation and repetition, transforming their practices and provoking a continuous development; also possibly pointing to relevant aspects of their training.

Thesis title: Curatorship The thesis deals with the legal institute of curatorship, as one of the forms of representation, which is intended to protect and fulfill the rights and interests of the person represented. The thesis is primarily focused on substantive legislation contained in an Act No. 89/2012 Coll., The Civil Code. Despite the fact that this thesis is focused on substantive legislation, it also discusses related procedural issues. This diploma thesis is divided into introduction, six chapters and a conclusion. The first chapter describes historical basis of curatorship and also a short glimpse to the previous legislation. The next chapter introduces fundamental terms and explains the systematic inclusion of legislation governing curatorship in an Act No. 89/2012 Coll. The core of this thesis is chapter three, which analyses the legislation of curatorship of an individual. This chapter also introduces related legal institutes such as limitation of legal capacity and declaration in anticipation of incapacity. Chapter three focuses on adult curatorship law as well as on curatorship law of minors. It also describes the status of the curator, his rights and duties, conditions which justify the termination of his function as well as termination of curatorship. The forth chapter primarily...

Cette thèse interroge le champ de pratiques et de positions discursives appelées récemment « curating ». L’approche que nous avons choisie est celle de l’analyse des écrits des curateurs d’art contemporain. De nature très variée, ils nous permettent de percevoir leurs conceptions à partir de leurs pratiques d’organisation d’expositions et des diverses activités de présentation publique de l’art. Il s’agit de traiter la proximité, ainsi que la distance, entre la construction d’une théorie curatoriale et la pratique à travers un ensemble de règles et d’opérations de normalisation décidées par une communauté disciplinaire et professionnelle. La notion de champ de curating est abordée à partir des diverses conceptions sociologiques et philosophiques qui nous conduisent à approfondir la question de l’écriture des curateurs sur un terrain concret au sein des expositions. À travers des cas historiques, nous abordons la question des traces écrites laissées par une exposition ; nous examinons également certains problèmes associés à la construction de l’histoire des événements artistiques d’art contemporain. La dernière partie de cette recherche est consacrée à la question des stratégies discursives de positionnement des curateurs à partir des publications parues depuis les années 1990. Ces formes discursives constituent entre autres la base de l’enseignement des formations curatoriales récentes. / This thesis questions the practice field and discursive positions recently called curating. The perspective we have selected is the analysis of writings by contemporary art curators. Of varied nature, these texts allow us to discern their understanding of their practice of organizing exhibitions and diverse activities for the public display of art. With the purpose of tackling the proximity and the distance between the construction of curatorial theory on one hand, and on the other, curatorial practice as determined by a set of rules and processes decided by a disciplinary and professional community. The notion of the curatorial field is approached through various sociological and philosophical concepts that lead us to deepen our inquiry about writing to a concrete field of exhibitions. Selected historical cases allow us to address the issue of written traces left by an exhibition; equally important, we examine certain problems related to the construction of the history of art events in contemporary art. The last part of this research is devoted to the question of discursive strategies of positioning by curators, starting with publications that first appear in the 1990s. These discursive forms, among others, constitute the foundation of teaching in recent curatorial training.

The diploma work titled Ex/position is a project, exhibition, intervention of space, which determined itself as the topic and object of its research (analysis and interest). The Ex/position is an exhibition about an exhibition, a project about a project and a reflection about a context. The main output of the thesis is a curatorial project created in the concept of collaborative practice. The result of it is a collective work in the form of an exhibition. The thesis as a temporary gallery installation is created on the basis of the curatorial and as well authorial concept in collaboration with other authors. They were ideologically, formally, creationally involved in the collective work. The Ex/position reflects these topics: collaboration, the essence of the particular media and their contemporary intermediality, the relation between author and author, author and curator (and their blending) and the creation process of an exhibition.

An art teacher at an alternative high school examines how self-study and narrative influence art making in the classroom. This teacher-researcher-artist uses a/r/tography to study more deeply her role in creating curriculum that deals with students' stories as a meaning-making device. The a/r/tographer identifies herself as a type of teacher-curator of student narratives and explores the nuances of her particular research site. As the researcher more closely examined her own identity as artist, teacher, and researcher, she came to understand that this research was largely a study of self. Specifically, she more closely scrutinized her struggle with the role of artist through art production that aligned with the studies she was engaging with in the classroom. Even as student understandings shifted as a result of the curricular focus on narrative, so did that of the researcher.

Even though viewers typically experience multiple artworks at a time, philosophers have tended to parse visual art experiences into individuated experiences with singular objects, rather than incorporate the role exhibitions play in contextualizing objects over time. Since visual art experiences typically occur in the context of exhibitions featuring multiple artworks, whether in a museum, commercial gallery, or artist's studio, there are numerous problems associated with considering visual art experiences individuated experiences with single objects. I aim to show how this approach not only produces problems for the philosophy of art, but also perpetuates misunderstandings regarding the visual artist's practice, as well as its reception. My focus on reception poses problems for curators who relish curatorial authority. I prefer practices to products, since it establishes a relationship between each contributor's actions and his/her outcomes, which gain meaning over time, unlike products that arrive ready upon delivery, independent of directed consciousness. Rather than convey an activity particular to sight, the term "visual art experience" distinguishes this type of art experience from types such as theater, film, or musical performances. Such multi-sensorial perceptual experiences, whether indoors or outdoors, accompany one's experiencing artworks, monuments and buildings alike. The philosophical convention of treating artworks as singular objects has led philosophers to exaggerate: 1) the artist's intention (Arthur Danto), 2) artworks' atemporal features (Nelson Goodman), and 3) artworks' expressive/symbolic capacities (Robin Collingwood, Danto, Goodman, and Roger Scruton) inviting aestheticians to treat artworks like texts, penned by a lone author. One consequence of the "lone-author" view is that book reading is the prevailing analogy for visual art experiences, eschewing obviously coauthored analogies such as walking in the park, attending a sporting event, or dining with friends. Books whose advance readers and editor(s) influence their contents before being published are no less coauthored than typical nonart experiences. That exhibitions are coauthored has multiple implications for aesthetics, since it acknowledges the way visual art experiences involve multiple inputs: some combination of curator, spectators, exhibition, milieu, environment, and the facility. The curator typically works with other producer(s), whether artists or exhibition staff, to create some environment, a temporal surrounding comprised of thematically arranged artworks, specifically designed for spectators inhabiting a particular milieu, housed in some facility, which includes the physical surroundings, such as the gallery's conditions, its wall colors, lighting, and scale. This text explores all aspects of curatorial practice from exploration to reception. In differentiating curated exhibitions from non-curated exhibitions, I aim to explain how curators generate frames that visibilize each artwork's nonexhibited features, which seems so obvious in hindsight that particular frames later appear embodied from the onset. / Philosophy

Este trabalhou tomou como ponto de partida a presença, no meio artístico brasileiro, entre 2000 e 2015, dos assim chamados coletivos de artistas. Ele procurou circunscrever histórica e conceitualmente as \"práticas artísticas colaborativas\" e as \"estratégias de visibilidade\" desenvolvidas por esses agrupamentos de artistas \"emergentes\" - no contexto de seu envolvimento, entre 1999 e 2001, com os movimentos altermundialistas e antiglobalização, e, a partir de 2003, com movimentos sociais de luta por moradia - alinhando-se, ao menos discursivamente, com a perspectiva dos \"de baixo\". De outro lado, o trabalho também identificou o desenvolvimento simultâneo, \"pelo alto\", de um complexo de procedimentos curatoriais pautados por novos modos de apresentação (displays) de objetos artísticos em exposições de \"arte contemporânea\". Por meio dos novos procedimentos curatoriais, tanto a 27ª Bienal de São Paulo (2006) quanto as mostras de \"arte contemporânea\" do Museu de Arte do Rio (2013-2015) foram capazes de absorver e canalizar, em seus discursos, parte das demandas \"subalternas\" associadas à produção dos coletivos. Para refletir criticamente sobre esse complexo de fenômenos do campo artístico, a pesquisa procurou articular uma discussão atualizada em torno dos conceitos gramscianos de \"hegemonia\" e de \"revolução passiva\". Tais conceitos, formulados originalmente pelo pensador italiano Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937), têm sido reprocessados teoricamente, no debate da sociologia brasileira de extração marxista, para pensar o ciclo dito \"lulista\" do Brasil contemporâneo. Em síntese, uma vez verificada a absorção das práticas \"emergentes\" e \"colaborativas\" pelo circuito artístico local, este trabalho procurou estabelecer e questionar historicamente as contradições e possíveis confluências das \"estratégias de visibilidade\", associadas às demandas dos \"de baixo\", com o desenvolvimento combinado dos novos procedimentos curatoriais, operados \"pelo alto\". / This research was motivated by the raising of the so-called artist collectives in Brazilian art field, particularly between the years 2000 and 2015. The thesis aims to delineate conceptually and historically the \"collaborative artistic practices\" and the \"strategies of visibility\" carried out seemingly \"from below\" by these \"emerging\" groups of artists - engaged mainly with the alter-mundialization and anti-globalization movements between 1999 and 2001, and, since 2003, with social struggles for housing. Furthermore, this survey also realized the simultaneous development of a complex of curatorial proceedings \"from the top\", based on new modes of display artistic objects in \"contemporary art\" exhibitions. Through these new curatorial practices, both the 27th Sao Paulo Bienal (2006) and the \"contemporary art\" exhibitions held by the Art Museum of Rio (2013-2015) managed to absorb and convey, in its discourses, part of the \"subaltern\" demands brought forward in the work produced by the artist collectives. In order to critically reflect about this complex of phenomena in the art field, the research articulates a debate operating the Gramscian concepts of \"hegemony\" and \"passive revolution\". These concepts, originally formulated by the Italian thinker Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937), had been theoretically reenacted in the Brazilian sociological debate derived from a Marxist background, to think the so-called \"lulist\" cycle in contemporary Brazil. Finally, after verifying the absorption of the \"emergent\" and \"collaborative\" practices by the local art circuit, this research aims to delineate and problematize the contradictions, and possible confluences, between the \"visibility strategies\" coming \"from below\" and the combined development of the new curatorial proceedings \"from the top\".

At the beginning of the twenty-first century British costume museums were failing to attract audiences; consequently, all but the Gallery of Costume, Manchester and the Fashion Museum, Bath were closed to the public. This thesis has sought to examine the traditional display methodologies of historic costume museums, using the Gallery of Costume as its primary case study of practice. This investigation problematises the theoretical assumptions upon which the gallery’s display methodologies are founded and compares its approaches to those taken in contemporary displays of historic dress. The findings of this investigation have been used to propose new approaches to the display of historic dress that aim to engage contemporary audiences. Using the research methods of participant observation, interviews and archival research the first chapter of this thesis outlines the development of the Gallery of Costume’s display methodologies, highlighting the agency of individual curators. The next two chapters explore the ways in which curators of dress reconstruct the bodies and personalities that give form to worn dress in the museum. The thesis moves on to examine both the methods by which the Gallery of Costume’s constructed history in its displays of history and the theoretical assumptions underlying its historiography. This chapter is followed by an exploration of the performance of fashion within the museum, attending to the way in which exhibitions can express dress as ‘living’ concept within accepted conservation guidelines. Finally, this thesis outlines a framework upon which reflexive exhibitions of historic dress can be built.
