Deconstruction in landscape architecture

Snead, John Peyton 17 January 2009 (has links)
The possibilities for a rigorous deconstruction in landscape architecture are explored, based largely upon the theoretical work of Jacques Derrida, and the architectural work of Bernard Tschumi. Deconstruction is described in its philosophical context and as a form of literary criticism. This deconstruction is compared with recent architectural projects influenced by Derrida’s ideas, with particular attention to Parc de la Villette by Tschumi. Deconstruction as a design tool is compared to traditional design synthesis, and various methods of applying deconstruction to landscape architecture are described. / Master of Landscape Architecture

[en] THE ETHICS OF THE IDEOLOGICAL INTERVENTION IN TRANSLATIONS / [pt] A ÉTICA DA INTERVENÇÃO IDEOLÓGICA NA TRADUÇÃO

JULIA VARELLA NEMIROVSKY 07 December 2017 (has links)
[pt] Como lidar com a tradução de um texto cujo conteúdo conflita com as convicções ideológicas do tradutor? Esta dissertação parte do fenômeno da tradução feminista que despontou no Canadá na segunda metade do século passado para discutir em que medida a intervenção ideológica deliberada no texto traduzido é aceitável eticamente, e até que ponto essa intervenção pode realmente ser eficaz na busca dos objetivos do profissional que a realiza. Para isso, é traçado um breve percurso histórico da evolução das teorias relativistas, que encontra no pósestruturalismo uma das suas mais recentes manifestações. Busca-se analisar em que contexto o movimento de tradução feminista pôde prosperar, e entender a forma como ele influenciou o modo de se pensar e de se praticar a tradução no Canada e em outros países. No último capítulo, toma-se como base o trabalho de alguns dos principais teóricos que trabalharam com o tema da ética no campo dos Estudos da Tradução para discutir os diferentes fatores que tornariam aceitável (e desejável) ou não a intervenção ideológica deliberada. / [en] How should one deal with the translation of a text whose content conflicts with their ideological convictions? This dissertation stems from the phenomenon of feminist translation that emerged in Canada in the second half of the last century to discuss the extent to which deliberate ideological intervention in the translated text is ethically acceptable and to what extent this intervention can actually be effective in pursuing the objectives of the translator. For this end, a brief history of the evolution of relativist theories is presented, post-structuralism being one of its most recent manifestations. The research aims at analyzing the context in which the feminist translation movement could thrive, and understanding how it influenced the way translation is theorized and practiced in Canada and in other countries. In the last chapter, the work of some of the leading theoreticians who worked on the topic of ethics in the field of Translation Studies is taken as a basis to discuss the different factors that make deliberate ideological intervention acceptable (and desirable) or not.

Unbuilding architecture: a non-normative exploration

McManus, Joseph F. January 1994 (has links)
On the following pages are images of an architecture which pushes the limits of design. Conceived as an amalgamation of semiautonomous fragments, the thesis project strives to decompose into complete disarray. At the verge of structural (compositional) collapse, the building asks the question 'where does structure break down, and chaos begin?'. A table I have designed and built is an experiment in spontaneity, and questions the validity of traditional ways of building furniture. Building analysis drawings I have included at the end of the book are compositional exercises and have, from a graphic perspective, some of the density and formal complexity of the images of the thesis. While I have relied upon Deconstructionist terminology to describe the building represented, I must admit that the building is not truly Deconstructed. It is fragmented. Some visual continuity between design elements remains. If I were to produce a deconstructed building, I would have to go beyond playing formal games and question what forms signify. Then, perhaps, I could find alternative significations; I might also be able to make a new link between the signifier and the signified. I think I would be searching for a new conception of form, one free of convention, of precondition. / Master of Architecture

Gottesoffenbarung angesichts des Anderen / Revelation of God in face of the other

Schwarz, Jonathan 11 1900 (has links)
Text in German, summaries in German and English / Diese Masterarbeit handelt von Transzendenzmomenten angesichts des Anderen und nimmt damit Bezug auf einen der einflussreichsten Philosophen der Gegenwart, Emmanuel Levinas. Philosophiegeschichtlich bildet der linguistic turn den Kontext dieses Diskurses. So wird der Wandel im Denken, der mit dem linguistic turn einhergeht, anhand verschiedener philosophischer und theologischer Essays reflektiert und auf das Problem der Gewalt im Prozess des Erkennens hin zugespitzt. In Diskussion mit den Schriften Dietrich Bonhoeffers leistet diese Arbeit hinfort einen Beitrag zum systematisch-theologischen Diskurs über Gottesoffenbarung in zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen und über Ethik. In Auseinandersetzung mit Levinas und Bonhoeffer baut diese Arbeit eine Brücke zwischen postmodernem, dekonstruktivistischem Denken und der fortwährenden theologischen Aufgabe, Gottes Sein mittels menschlicher Sprache Ausdruck zu verleihen. / This master thesis is about moments of transcendence in face of the other by means of one of the most important philosophers in our days, Emmanuel Levinas. The philosophically based historical context is represented by the term linguistic turn which marks a change of thinking within the 20th century. To outline this change the thesis brings several philosophical and theological essays up for discussion which leads to the problem of power in the process of recognition. Bringing up Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s writings, this research will make a contribution to the systematic-theological discourse about God revealing himself within relationships and about ethics. Furthermore it builds a bridge between postmodern anti-constructivist thinking and the continual theological task of using human language to explore God’s being. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)
