This Masters in Art and Design investigates a performance strategy for the deterritorialization of the body, mind and space as they intersect the digital screen image. The reconfiguration of the sensing system as the body encounters the digital image deterritorializes the body’s everyday modes of proprioception and spatial orientation. The assumption here is the increasing 'instability' of the body in a contemporary world where the digital screen image mediates and renegotiates our physical encounters. In prioritizing the body in these screen environments, there is potential for rethinking a body politic for performance and somatic practice. My strategy is to reconfigure the multi-modal processing where the screen dominates the visual faculties in the mind/body/screen relationship. Using wireless cameras attached to the body and improvisational structures for performance, divergent spaces are connected and collected through the body, screen and the camera. As the body and screen intersect, the corporeal and the image converge and manifest through the imagination and screen. This investigation into the screen/body opens up new possibilities for the spatial and corporeal, as the body and the screen fold into a mesh of multiplicity and 'in-between-ness'.

Neste trabalho nos concentramos na análise das relações entre desejo e linguagem presentes, sobretudo, na obra poética Hule (1989) do argentino Néstor Perlongher. Tendo como eixo o conceito de desterritorialização, procuramos observar tais relações por meio do desdobramento de três temas que permeiam toda a obra do autor: a territorialidade, a identidade e o desejo. Observamos, principalmente, o entrecruzamento desta temática e de alguns procedimentos de experimentação poética, provenientes da estética neobarroca, utilizados pelo autor; dentre eles, citamos a utilização nos poemas de um vocabulário híbrido, em que se mesclam desde vocábulos arcaizantes e rebuscados até termos provenientes de um léxico vulgar, como gírias e jargões diversos. Formam parte destes procedimentos também as mesclas entre idiomas como o uso de termos da interlíngua que se forma do contato entre falantes das línguas portuguesa e espanhola, conhecido como \'portunhol. / This research concentrates on the analysis of the relation between desire and language presented in the book of poems Hule (1989) by the Argentinean Néstor Perlongher. Based on the concept of deterritorialization, we aimed at observing such relations by the study of three themes in the work of this writer: territoriality, identity and desire. In particular, we studied the intercession of this subject and of some procedures of poetic experimentation from Neobarroque esthetics, used by the writer; among them, we mention the use of poems with hybrid vocabulary, in which we can find not only a mixture of archaic but also highly refined words from a vulgar lexicon, such as slang and varied jargon. The mixture of languages are also part of these procedure, there is the use of interlanguage which is created by the contact of speakers of Portuguese and Spanish, known as \"portunhol\".

This area is notable for being a huge shopping center, well-endowed with infrastructure, and for this reason is considered as the second largest agglomeration of popular commerce in Brazil, both in number of activities developed and in number of visitors. This territory had another form of use and occupation in the period of construction and implantation of the capital of Goiás, it was a railroad surrounded by illegal subdivisions occupied by employees of the enterprise itself. From the second half of the twentieth century, this space began to undergo intense changes that culminated in the formation of the Commercial Cluster of Avenida 44. The present research aims to understand the urban transformations and the formation process of the Cluster and, Adopted a methodological systematization composed by bibliographical review, documentary analysis and field activities, and interviews were carried out in this last phase. It was concluded that the commercial agglomeration is characterized by concentrating fundamental attractives to the process of buying and selling, such as logistics facility, great diversity of products, quality of manufacture, affordable prices and infrastructure. It is hoped that this research will make possible the elaboration of Public Policies for Regional Development that will provide greater benefits to the users and shopkeepers of the Avenida 44 Cluster in Goiânia, Goiás. / A aglomeração comercial da Avenida 44 em Goiânia, localizada no Setor Norte Ferroviário, atualmente é composta por centenas de galerias comerciais, shoppings centers, feiras livres, hotéis e comporta também o Terminal Rodoviário da capital goiana. Este espaço chama atenção por constituir um enorme centro de compras, bem-dotado de infraestrutura, e por este motivo é considerado como a segunda maior aglomeração de comercio popular do Brasil, tanto em número de atividades desenvolvidas, como em número de visitantes. Esse território possuía outra forma de uso e ocupação no período da construção e implantação da capital goiana, tratava-se de uma Ferrovia envolta por loteamentos ilegais ocupados por funcionários do próprio empreendimento. A partir da secunda metade do século XX, este espaço começou a sofrer modificações intensas que culminaram na formação do Cluster Comercial da Avenida 44. A presente investigação que tem por objetivo compreender as transformações urbanas e o processo de formação do Cluster e, para tal, adotou uma sistematização metodológica composta por revisão bibliográfica, análise documental e atividades de campo, sendo que entrevistas foram realizadas nesta última fase. Concluiu-se que a aglomeração comercial se caracteriza por concentrar atrativos fundamentais ao processo de compra e venda, tais como facilidade logística, grande diversidade de produtos, qualidade da manufatura, preços acessíveis e infraestrutura. Espera-se que a presente investigação torne possível a elaboração de Políticas Públicas de Desenvolvimento Regional que contemplem maiores benefícios para os usuários e lojistas do Cluster da Avenida 44 em Goiânia, Goiás.

Abstract This thesis sets out to explore Shirley Geok-lin Lim's poetry collection Monsoon History in terms of three aspects: language, migrancy, and ethnicity. It also attempts to examine Shirley Lim's diasporic identity by embracing the border thinking. The notion of border-crossing, either physically or psychologically, passes through each chapter to represent the poet's identity and to re-create a space for herself to articulate. It is a study of Lim's exile experiences and how she establishes the poetics of diaspora for Asian American literature. In the introduction, the concept of diaspora and the theoretical framework will be explicated. The first chapter probes into the relationship between Shirley Lim and her choice of language in writing. I adopt Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari's analysis of language and definition of ¡§minor literature¡¨ to discuss the deterritorialization of Lim's writing. The second chapter traces Lim's migrant status, in which I resort to Edward Said's ¡§Reflections on Exile¡¨ and his different categorizations of exile. The third chapter, appealing to several theorists or critics, such as Benedict Anderson, Ernest Gellner, and Ling-chi Wang, deals with Lim's problem of ethnic identity displayed in her poetry. The last chapter concludes with an overall argumentation that the destination and dissolution of Lim's identity is an Asian American because of reterritorialization of language, migrancy, and ethnicity.

This thesis aims to analyze the role of railways and railway stations in the construction of the capital city of an industrial empire with reference to the concept of &ldquo / territorialization.&rdquo / The main case is Russia, where the geographical factors are prominent in the creation of the economic, political, social and cultural structure of the country / and the focus of analysis is the city of Moscow, which acted as the center of this structure as connected to its territory by a developed system of railways. The continuous processes of &ldquo / territorialization&rdquo / , &ldquo / deterritorialization&rdquo / and &ldquo / reterritorialization&rdquo / of the Eurasian continent by Russians and the associated nations form the basic spatial backstage of this study. The built environment as basically materialized in the capital city, which serves as the control center of territoriality, and the way how human territoriality in the country and within the capital city are interrelated, are the key issues to be investigated. In this context railways emerged as new media for territorialization in the age of industry. In this study the Russian railways and the Moscow railway stations are analyzed in their positions in the territorial configuration of industrial Russia form the mid-nineteenth century onwards. Moscow as a leading industrial as well as historical and cultural center, was not the capital city when the country introduced the rapid construction of railway network and station buildings. In this study it is claimed that the rise of Moscow to become the capital city is, thus, related with its becoming the center of the Russian railway network.

La presente investigación se centra en analizar la influencia del fenómeno de desterritorialización que ha experimentado la comunidad indígena shipibo-konibo  en la transformación de lenguaje visual del kené, una manifestación cultural que encierra su cosmovisión, creencias y cultura. Se parte de la hipótesis de que la pérdida del referente del territorio y el posterior establecimiento de la comunidad en Cantagallo afectan la práctica del trazado del kené, tanto en la transformación de los valores gráficos de su lenguaje visual, como en el surgimiento de nuevos significados. La investigación está diseñada a partir de una metodología de trabajo documental en articulación con trabajo de campo para profundizar tanto en un análisis bibliográfico y de contenido referido a las variables de la investigación, como en los contextos de producción y comercialización actuales de kené. Los principales resultados indican que la transformación en los patrones de kené se enfoca en el cambio de la estructura lineal del patrón, en la incorporación y dominio del nivel de expresión visual figurativo en la composición, en la transformación de la paleta cromática hacia múltiples tonos saturados y en los cambios de los significados del kené que se adaptan al nuevo contexto de desarrollo. Por tanto se concluye que la transformación del lenguaje visual del kené refleja las tensiones entre los fenómenos de desterritorialización y reterritorialización, pues aunque surge una orientación casi exclusiva a la comercialización de las piezas se mantiene la necesidad de identificación de la comunidad con los patrones de kené. / This research focuses on analyzing the influence of the phenomenon of deterritorialization the Shipibo-Konibo indigenous community in the transformation of the visual language of kené, a cultural manifestation that encompasses its worldview, beliefs and culture. It is based on the hypothesis that the loss of the territory and the subsequent establishment of the community in Cantagallo affect the practice of drawing kené, both in the transformation of the graphic values ​​of its visual language, and in the emergence of new meanings. The research is designed based on a methodology of documentary work in articulation with field work to deepen both a bibliographic and content analysis referred to the research variables, as in the current production and marketing contexts of kené. The main results indicate that the transformation of kené patterns focuses on the change of the linear structure of the pattern, on the incorporation of figurative visual elements in the composition, on the transformation of the chromatic palette towards multiple saturated tones and in the changes of the meanings of kené that adapt to the new development context. Therefore it is concluded that the transformation of the visual language of kené reflects the tensions between the phenomena of deterritorialization and reterritorialization, because although an almost exclusive orientation to the commercialization of the pieces arises, the need of the community to reinforce its identity with the patterns of kené remains. / Trabajo de investigación

What happens to man’s place when non-human nature – man’s environment – is under threat? Norwegian author Maja Lunde explores this in the four novels that make up the “climate quartet,” Bienes historie (2015), Blå (2017), Przewalskis hest (2019) and Drømmen om et tre (2022), in which she discusses various climate issues. This master’s thesis investigates how Lunde establishes the significance of place and the meaning of nature as a place in her climate quartet, with an emphasis on the dystopian portrayal of place and the relationship between the human and the non-human. The analysis employs a thematic close reading approach, using ecocriticism as a general theoretical framework. In particular, the works of scholars Ursula K. Heise, Doreen Massey, and Antonia Mehnert on the meaning of place contribute to this study’s analytical framework, which includes concepts such as sense of place, de- and reterritorialization, riskscape, non-places, the global and the local. The study also draws on Sigmund Freud’s and Martin Heidegger’s concepts of the Uncanny. The thesis shows that in Lunde’s climate fiction, place is a prominent actor because it threatens the characters' existence and can be perceived as a catalyst for the stories’ events. The characters’ identity as nomads who traverse the world as a global riskscape is a key theme. The fictional world is characterized by emptiness, which can be perceived as a result of deterritorialization. The emptiness in some places leads to the concept of the Uncanny in both the dystopian future perspective, where the climate-changed world is depicted as an uncanny place, and in the past and present perspectives, where nature is often depicted as an uncanny quasi-object. The characters’ awareness of nature as an ambivalence is particularly significant. The analysis of Lunde’s use of place and the meaning of nature as a place provides a nuanced exploration of the complex relationship between humans and their environment.

"My thesis compares Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things and Anuradha Roy’s Sleeping on Jupiter in order to demonstrate how a) each text is a product of its moment and a reflection of corresponding critical thought and b) how an inversion of gothic tropes in Sleeping reflects a changed world dynamic, a melancholic exploration of epistemological and traumatic loss that can be seen not only as a recognition of the continued power of oppressive systems but a reflection on the failure of cosmopolitanism to “rescue” the global subject from her own isolation and recolonization. I claim that this is not only demonstrated by a change in form and how gothic tropes are presented, but in how homosexuality and deviant sexuality in particular is treated, a reminder that even in texts that attempt to condemn and reject colonizing tendencies, the political moment and its theoretical appendages continue to haunt postcolonial discourse, enabling recolonization and restratifying spaces of resistance. I claim that this recognition need not be totalizing or nihilistic, but that in the recognition itself lies the possibility for resistance, an act of rebellion that must be constantly re-enacted in order to deterritorialize what has been captured and displaced, a fluid and imaginative negotiation that, much like literature, is limitless in interpretation and offers readers constant and multiplicitous possibilities for agency in the face of equally fluid oppressive systems."--Provided by the author.

The aspects related to deterritorialization and depersonalization of the central character of the novels will be addressed. Our objective is to propose a study, based on the works cited, taking contemporary critical theories as a critical analysis approach, considering the changes in aesthetic practice and the consequent rupture with the notion of art as a representation of reality. It is proposed as a methodological foundation, the bibliographical research with a view to approaching the cartographic tracings that contemplate the procedural events during the research. Thus, we will use the ideas of Deleuze and Guattari and Michel Maffesoli, with reference in deterritorialization and nomadism. Still from this perspective, other contributions like those of Walter Bejamin on the "loss of the aura"; Jean Baudrillard, in Simulacros and Simulation; Guy Debord, Scocius of the Spectacle; Jean-François Lyotard, The Postmodern Condition; Zigmund Bauman, the notion of Net Modernity, among others. / Este trabalho pretende fazer uma análise crítica das obras de arte literária, Hotel Atlântico e Lorde, de João Gilberto Noll. Serão abordados os aspectos relativos à desterritorialização e à despersonalização da personagem central dos romances. Nosso objetivo é propor um estudo, a partir das obras citadas, tomando as teorias críticas contemporâneas como abordagem de análise crítica, considerando as mudanças no fazer estético e a consequente ruptura com a noção de arte como representação da realidade. Propõe-se como fundamentação metodológica, a pesquisa bibliográfica com vistas numa abordagem dos traçados cartográficos que contemplam os acontecimentos processuais no decorrer da pesquisa. Assim, lançaremos mão das ideias de Deleuze e Guattari e Michel Maffesoli, com referência na desterritorialização e no nomadismo. Ainda nesta perspectiva, outras contribuições como as de Walter Bejamin sobre a “perda da aura”; Jean Baudrillard, em Simulacros e Simulação; Guy Debord, Scociedade do Espetáculo; Jean-François Lyotard, A Condição Pós-Moderna; Zigmund Bauman, a noção de Modernidade Líquida, entre outras.
