My argument is that documentary texts can be transformed into artworks via the processes of intertextuality and detournement, when they are exhibited as video installations. I argue that early 1920s modernist avant-garde painter-filmmakers shared with contemporary documentary video installation painter-filmmakers particular tendencies, characteristics and interests. The bodies of work in each period explore the generic properties of documentary through (primarily) abstract visual associations, rather than through a conventional linear space. Important 1920s modernist avant-garde films by Dziga Vertov, Luis Bunuel, Salvador Dali, Joris Ivens, Man Ray and others will be considered in highlighting the relationship between documentary and avant-garde cinema. I use this discussion as a basis for examining my own work: for the creative component of this thesis, I filmed and edited a three screen video installation. I interviewed 67 Australian Muslims and used these interviews to explore the use of documentary in video installation. The theoretical framework I used is based on the following: Julia Kristeva?s notion of intertextuality, derived from Mikhail Bahktin?s work on dialogism, to interpret how documentary texts take on conventions appropriate to other genres; Guy Debord?s concept of d鴯urnement to provide a theory for the reuse of pre-existing artistic elements found in documentary film; genre theory to interpret interactions between documentary texts; Ludwig Wittgenstein?s notion of ?family resemblance? to explore the indistinct boundaries of documentary; and Pascal Beausse?s analysis of how artists have hijacked documentary. I also draw on Bill Nichols?s analytical framework of documentary modes (poetic, expository, observational, participatory, performative, reflexive) to explore documentary in cinema and installation art. The documentary genre is not habitually discussed outside film, television, photography or the web. My research demonstrates that the genre has found its place in other areas of artistic practice and can also apply to medium of video installation.

This dissertation addresses the possibilities for humor to serve as political action. While humor has been studied since Aristotle, and many theories about its efficacy as a rhetorical form abound, most claim at best that humor produces a lesser effect than other, more serious forms of discourse. When audiences, institutions, contemporary scholars and even the comics themselves address humor, they tend to reify the theories of foundational scholars - theories that serve to circumscribe the place of humor as necessarily non-political and non-efficacious. Such modalities of humor span many theories, including intentional forms such as irony, parody and satire, spatializations such as the carnivalesque, effects based criteria such as pleasure and/or laughter (as opposed to pain and/or outrage). When taken up at an institutional level (whether by legal or economic institutions, or even by scholarly institutions), these pre-set modalities comprise sets of rules, or litige, that preempt the possibility for some of humor's most progressive functions. To reexamine humor, this project begins with the most marginalized of humorous forms, stand-up comedy. Beginning from a standpoint of critical rhetoric, routines by comics such as Lewis Black, Lenny Bruce, Dave Chappelle, Margaret Cho, Stephen Colbert, Bill Maher, Michael Richards and Sarah Silverman are used to display the limitations of contemporary theories, as well as to point out the possibility for stand-up comedy to enact critique. The primary finding is that humorous techniques create a separation between the stated and the inferred, which provides possibilities for audience judgment that is prudential in the sense of operating without pre-set models. The possibility of prudential judgment enables humor to enact détournement, the detour, diversion, hijacking, corruption or misappropriation of the spectacle.

Intellectuel évoluant aux marges des institutions, Guy Debord (1931-1994) fut l’auteur d’une pensée et d’un art hétérodoxes. Cette thèse tente de refaire le chemin de son expérience intellectuelle grâce à l’étude des documents inédits conservés au « Fonds Guy Debord » de la Bibliothèque nationale de France. Sont étudiés les manuscrits de ses œuvres, les documents préparatoires de ses films et, plus particulièrement, ses nombreuses fiches de lecture, afin d’établir une généalogie des concepts et des idées de l’auteur, en resituant Debord dans le contexte de son époque. Le grand débat qui animait alors la pensée française, partagée entre les vagues opposées de l’existentialisme et du structuralisme, se concentrait en effet sur l’affirmation ou la disparition du « sujet ». Debord ne participe pas directement à cette querelle et s’intéresse fort peu aux auteurs de la mode. Néanmoins, son œuvre constitue une réponse à ce débat, réponse donnée, d’abord, par l’élaboration d’un art expérimental qui remet le sujet en situation, en recherchant les déterminations objectives qui affectent la subjectivité ; ensuite, par l’élaboration d’une théorie – la théorie du « spectacle » – qui voit la séparation entre l’expérience et la représentation comme le propre de la modernité capitaliste ; enfin, par le développement d’une écriture – littéraire et cinématographique – qui puise dans le travail du détournement et de la citation le moyen de dépasser la séparation « spectaculaire » entre le sujet et le langage. / Guy Debord (1931-1994), always on the margins of cultural and intellectual institutions, authored a heterodox style of thought and art. Through extensive archival research in the “Fonds Guy Debord”, a collection of unpublished notes and manuscripts in the Bibliothèque nationale de France, this thesis seeks to retrace Debord’s intellectual experience. These documents allow for the creation of a genealogy of the author’s key concepts and enable us to situate him in the intellectual context of his times. Contemporary French thought was dominated by existentialism and structuralism. Discussion of the empowerment and disappearance of the “subject” was therefore central. Although Debord took no direct part in these disputes, expressing disinterest in the authors then in vogue, his works did respond to this debate: First of all, in his experimental art, which places the subject in a “situation” and thereby seeks to discover the objective determinations that affect subjectivity; secondly, in his theoretical work – in particular, the theory of the spectacle –, in which capitalist modernity is characterized as a growing separation between experience and representation; and thirdly, in his literary and cinematic works, in which the practice of détournement appears as a method for a subjective re-appropriation of representation.

The following thesis investigates the British punk movement of the mid-late seventies and suggests that, by performing acts of imaginative re-identification, we may gain greater insights into both the phenomenon of punk and aspects of Jesus’ life, ministry, and teaching despite their axiomatic and sometimes problematic differences. To do this we explore the power of the sartorial creations that the movement adopted and the way in which they conveyed an oppositional protest message and stance. We explore punk graphics and the way in which they could offer a targeted critique of the nation. We look at punk performances and how they confrontationally engaged with their audiences and what they wanted to elicit in return. We reflect on women in punk, punk in Northern Ireland and the relationship between punk and the black community and the degree to which punk exhibited a counter-cultural attitude to relationships. Concluding our look at punk we investigate how society, the authorities and commerce reacted to the movement, before investigating punk as a trans-historical essence. Having explored punk and established imaginative connections we then revisit aspects of Jesus’ life and consider him as a subversive who negated some of the national symbols of Israel, collided with Jewish national authority and reversed many of the nation’s perspectives. We look at the more confrontational nature of Jesus, his use of symbolic physical statements and his interaction with women, teaching on enemies and the way he related to the outcast. We then conclude by showing the degree to which the present-day church has been absorbed into the surrounding culture and explore two instances in post-war theology where there has been a recovery of the more seditious pattern within Jesus’ life before seeing whether there is anything that the church may learn from imaginatively identifying with punk.
