La recherche porte sur l’écriture abondante de Hundertwasser et sa place dans le positionnement de cet acteur du renouveau artistique. On lui reconnaît une « œuvre-vie » singulière, puisque, visant à bouleverser la société, il a élargi son domaine, passant de la peinture à l’écologie, via l’architecture. Partant du contexte géohistorique, de l’arrière-plan pictural du début du XXème siècle, des théories des scientifiques et des « prophètes » allemands du XXème siècle ainsi que de l’émergence des mouvements écologistes, il s’agit d’étudier les nombreux poésies, récits, discours, manifestes, interventions dans les médias et commentaires, où Hundertwasser expose et développe ses convictions. L’objectif est de montrer que la dynamique créative de l’artiste s’enracine dans ses écrits. / The research focuses on the abundant writing of Hundertwasser and its place in the positioning of this actor of artistic renewal. He is recognized for his singular "work-life", since, aiming to upset society, he has expanded his field, from painting to ecology, via architecture. Starting from the geohistorical context, from the pictorial background of the beginning of the 20th century, the theories of 20th-century German scientists and "prophets" and the emergence of environmental movements, it is a question of studying the many poems, stories, speeches, manifestos, interventions in the media and comments, where Hundertwasser exposes and develops his convictions. The aim is to show that the creative dynamic of the artist is rooted in his writings.

Our thesis consists in the integration of the three poets through their different practices into a modeling artistic-cultural project whose strategy worked well tuned to the postmodern doxa of the commodification of modernism, the formalization of avantgarde and the utilitarian refunctionalisation of art. The abandonment of style and adoption of the text, the relationship established with the art institution, the theoretical-historical revisionism, the epistemological debate and the jump into the mass media confirm that a large distance has established between the concretists of Sao Paulo and the so-called high modernism at the turn of the century and its criticism by the historical avant-garde movements. Finally, we attempted to re-establish the analytical intersection from different sources - which consisted this doctrine - to draw from them notes on what was the role played by the three poet-makers in cultural disputes experienced in the course of the modernization process of Brazilian capitalism / Este trabalho analisa a proposta concretista apresentada pelas atividades do grupo Noigandres: Augusto de Campos (1931-), Haroldo de Campos (1929-2003) e Décio Pignatari (1927- 2012). Sua tese é a de que os três poetas integraram, por meio de suas diferentes práticas, um projeto artístico-cultural modelar cuja estratégia andava bem afinada à doxa pós-moderna de mercantilização do modernismo, oficialização das vanguardas e de refuncionalização utilitária da arte. O abandono do estilo e a adoção do texto, a relação estabelecida com a instituição arte, o revisionismo histórico-teórico, o debate epistemológico e o salto para dentro dos meios de comunicação de massas, confirmam que uma grande distância se estabeleceu entre os concretistas de São Paulo e o dito alto modernismo da virada do século e sua crítica pelos movimentos históricos de vanguarda. Por fim, tentou-se restabelecer, pelo cruzamento analítico de diferentes fontes, o que consistiu essa doutrina, para daí extrair apontamentos sobre qual foi o papel desempenhado pelos três poetas-formuladores nas disputas culturais vividas no curso do processo de modernização do capitalismo brasileiro

The literature of the fin de siáecle challenged established societal norms through its use of avant-garde literary forms and controversial subject matter. This study will examine the use of landscape metaphors in two major works of fin de siáecle literature, Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Olive Schreiner's The Story of an African Farm, in order to reveal how these texts critique and re-vision the social dualities of gender. A wide range of literary theories-including, feminist theory, semiotics, and ecocriticism-are used to interpret these authors' influential narratives. This thesis will also apply Julia Kristeva's theory of the abjects-representing the permeability of the physical and social bodies-to critically examine the literal and metaphorical landscapes of Stevenson's city and Schreiner's farm. Thus, these visionary texts embody an organic and feminist understanding of the self as a permeable social construct that exists free of borders. / by Janine McAdams. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2010. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

When John Cage invented the prepared piano in 1940, he created a sound world and body of music unlike anything heard before. The innovative music he wrote for prepared piano requires a completely new approach to performance, and expands our understanding of the piano's capabilities. This study will examine the main prepared piano works by John Cage, with a detailed analysis of the Sonatas and Interludes. Cage's Table of Preparations will be examined to establish an aesthetic rationale for this preparation. Different modes of listening will be explored through a selection of the Sonatas and Interludes recorded in three different technological systems - conventional AB 2.0, surround 5.1, and Disk Jecklin. The latter allows for a true "surround sound" experience as Cage himself might have heard his own pieces. Included is a compact disc of selections from Sonatas and Interludes recorded in each of the three technological systems. / by Inara Ferreira. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2010. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

It is based on the importance of understanding the dynamics of pleasure and psychological suffering found in labor relations and to investigate the ways of acknowledgment of the municipal guards as well as analying the defensive strategies created to face everyday challenges at work. The research field as the Guard Hall of Porto Alegre – GMP, more specifically the Special Motorized Reverse - GEM. The subjects, municipal guards, are workers who have the activity of urban safety. The methodology for the research was the psychodynamics at work which aims, through listening and speaking, to know about the organization of work and the effectiveness of the strategies, analyzing the speech and listening to the suffering. This study found that the city police officers feel themselves acknowledged, but to have that they invest in their work and in the ways of maintaining it as in uniforms and in the differentiation of the group and its functions. It was possible to appreciate the objective and the subjective aspects of the daily work of these city police oficcers and strategies that they create to keep themselves as normal sufferers.

La création artistique de l’entre-deux-guerres en France est transformée par l’internationalisation du marché de l’art, la vitalité des avant-gardes et la diffusion sans précédent des revues d’art. La galerie d’art, par l’action de galeristes engagés et professionnels, s’impose alors comme un lieu central du marché de l’art moderne. Vouée au commerce des œuvres, elle se dote d’une identité nouvelle en faisant de son espace un lieu de socialisation et de débats intellectuels. Cette conjoncture explique en partie la naissance d’un nouveau mode de communication de la galerie d’art : la revue de galerie. Cet outil de promotion a pour principale mission de diffuser l’actualité des expositions et des artistes liés à la galerie. Mais il cherche également à être une tribune ouverte, un lieu d’expression et de dialogues où se rencontrent théories artistiques et synthèses du marché de l’art contemporain, règlements de comptes et pamphlets, littérature et poésie. Au-delà de sa dimension promotionnelle, la revue de galerie, objet sociologique, tisse des liens entre les différents acteurs d’un même cercle socio-culturel. Les principales revues de galerie de l’entre-deux-guerres (Les Arts à Paris, 1918-1935 ; le Bulletin de la vie artistique, 1919-1926 ; le Bulletin de la galerie B. Weill, 1923-1935 ; le Bulletin de l’Effort moderne, 1924-1927) mettent ainsi en place des modèles éditoriaux durables, qui perdureront tout au long du XXe siècle. Il s’agit d’un phénomène culturel international, de sorte que le contexte parisien ne peut être compris que par comparaison, notamment avec celui des Etats-Unis (revue 291), de la Belgique (Le Centaure) ou de l’Allemagne (Der Querschnitt), qui développent leurs propres spécificités. / Art production in France is changed in the interwar years by the globalization of the art market, the vitality of the avant-gardes and the unprecedented diffusion of art periodicals. The art gallery, through the actions of socially and politically committed art dealers, is becoming a major place for the modern art market. Dedicated to the trade of artworks, it acquires a new identity by encouraging socialization and intellectual debates. This context creates new communication means for art galleries: the art gallery magazine. As a promotion tool, the main mission of the periodical is to spread news about exhibitions and artists related to the gallery. Sustained by the ideals of their editors, they offer an open platform, an utopian space of free speech and dialogue, where art theories and contemporary art market analysis, score settling and satirical tracts, literature and poetry meet. Beyond its promotional function, the art gallery magazine, as a sociological object, also establishes links between the various players of a social and cultural group. The main gallery magazines of the 20th Century (Les Arts à Paris, 1918-1935; le Bulletin de la vie artistique, 1919-1926; le Bulletin de la galerie B. Weill, 1923-1935; le Bulletin de l’Effort moderne, 1924-1927) invent lasting editorial references that will last throughout the 20th century. Operating in Paris, art gallery magazines fall within an international cultural context, as demonstrated by the presence of such magazines in the United States (291), Belgium (Le Centaure) or Germany (Der Querschnitt), all developing their own specificities.

Esta tese, apoiando-se no quadro de referência da Semiótica Tensiva, se propõe examinar a existência de uma gramática tensiva regedora das obras de vanguarda, que se põem sob a égide da \"tradição de rupturas\". Focalizando a descrição e a análise das operações formais dos objetos pictóricos, examina os traços heterogêneos constitutivos do objeto visual e sua estruturação, bem como o par opositivo continuidade (tradição) e ruptura (modernidade) na arte, com base nas relações entre formantes mínimos da gramática visual, que engendram uma gramática de continuidade (a função), responsável por duas subgramáticas, a de rompimento forte e a de rompimento fraco (funtivos). Daí as questões: seria a arte de vanguarda uma continuidade de rompimentos fracos ou de rompimentos fortes? De que tipo de rompimento se está falando quando se focalizam objetos estéticos do século XX? Toda ruptura constituiria um ato de rompimento, de maneira imediata, com todos os procedimentos da tradição, ou apenas a triagem de alguns procedimentos, preservando outros como elo entre o passado e o futuro? Dessas questões, depreendeu-se que a figuratividade é ponto central nas vanguardas ditas de ruptura. Tomada como parâmetro, a figuratividade seria um dos reguladores da continuidade pictórica de vanguarda, pois seria ela a característica que mais se acentua tanto em sua construção, como em sua desconstrução. No caso de rupturas progressivas (chamadas de rupturas em desenvolvimento), nem tudo é triado como eliminação: alguns traços tensivos são preservados. Observou-se atenuação da ruptura em traços reiterativos tanto de figurativização (diminuição de plasticidade), quanto de abstração (aumento de plasticidade). A tese está dividida em quatro capítulos. No capítulo 1, abordam-se tradição e ruptura nas artes plásticas, ou seja, continuidade e descontinuidade de valores estéticos. No capítulo 2, focaliza-se o pêndulo tensivo que contempla a oscilação entre plástico e figurativo, salientando valores de evolução e revolução. No capítulo 3, apoiando-se no plano da expressão, contemplam-se análises de estudos de caso e verificam-se predominâncias de plasticidade ou figuratividade, homologando-as com elementos do nível tensivo, como tonicidade e andamento. No capítulo 4, considera-se a emancipação plástica brasileira em relação à arte predominantemente europeia. Para reduzir o risco de viés teórico de ver na realidade apenas o que a teoria permite ver, bem como minimizar imperfeições analíticas, procedeu-se ao exame dos objetos estéticos considerando um percurso de dupla direção: da teoria ao objeto e do objeto à teoria. Foram comparados objetos de estéticas diferentes, objetos diferentes de uma mesma estética, objetos de um mesmo artista, mas postos em confronto e, por fim, um só objeto, considerando suas partes constitutivas. Para esse exame, além da teoria tensiva, serviram de base textos teóricos de artistas de variadas épocas, bem como manifestos teóricos. Esses procedimentos permitiram propor a substituição do conceito de ruptura pelo conceito de rompimento de dupla valência: uma de tônus mais forte e outra de tônus mais fraco, controladores da continuidade e da descontinuidade, que seriam reguladas por traços tensivos de mais e menos, duas forças que impediriam a chegada ao extremo do continuum. / This thesis, based on the reference framework of the Tense Semiotics, proposes to examine the existence of a tense grammar that rules the vanguard studies, which are placed under the aegis of the \"tradition of ruptures\". Focusing on the description and analysis of the formal operations of the pictorial objects, it examines the heterogeneous features constituting the visual object and its structuring, as well as the opposing pair continuity (tradition) and rupture (modernity) in art, based on the relationships between grammar, which generates a grammar of continuity (the function), responsible for two sub grammars, the one of strong rupture and the one of weak rupture (funtives). Hence the questions: would vanguard art be a continuation of weak disruptions or strong disruptions?What kind of breakthrough is being talked about when focusing on 20th century aesthetic objects? Would every rupture constitute an act of immediate rupture with all the procedures of the tradition, or only the screening of certain procedures, preserving others as a link between the past and the future? From these questions, it has been deduced that figurativeness is central to the so-called ruptured vanguards. Taken as a parameter, figurativity would be one of the regulators of the avant-garde pictorial continuity, since it would be the characteristic that is more accentuated both in its construction and in its deconstruction. In the case of progressive ruptures (called ruptures in development), not everything is classified as elimination: some tensile traces are preserved. It was observed attenuation of the rupture in repetitive traits of both figurativization (decrease of plasticity) and abstraction (increase of plasticity). The thesis is divided into four chapters. In chapter 1, tradition and rupture in the plastic arts are approached, that is, continuity and discontinuity of aesthetic values. In chapter 2, the tensile pendulum that contemplates the oscillation between plastic and figurative is focused, emphasizing values of evolution and revolution. In chapter 3, based on the expression plane, analyzes of case studies are contemplated and there are predominance of plasticity or figurativeness, homologating them with elements of the tensile level, such as tonicity and tempo. In chapter 4, the Brazilian plastic emancipation is considered in relation to the predominantly European art. In order to reduce the risk of a theoretical bias of actually seeing only what the theory allows us to see, as well as minimizing analytical imperfections, we proceeded to the examination of aesthetic objects considering a dual direction course: from theory to object and from object to theory. Objects of different aesthetics, objects different from the same aesthetics, objects of the same artist, but confronted, and finally, a single object, considering their constituent parts, were compared. For this examination, in addition to the tensive theory, theoretical texts of artists of various epochs, as well as theoretical manifestos, were used as basis. These procedures allowed proposing the replacement of the concept of rupture by the concept of double valence rupture: one of stronger tone and one of weaker tone, controllers of continuity and discontinuity, which would be regulated by tensor numbers of plus and minus two forces which would prevent the arrival at the extreme of the continuum.

The thesis investigates the field of Theatre practice variously referred to as alternative, non-mainstream, avant-garde, community or fringe theatre. I have suggested the term 'Radical Group Theatre' - a term which, I believe, best encompasses the sector formerly represented by this diverse body of theatre practice. I focus on the relationship between theoretical and practical paradigms, and debates surrounding them; theatre making processes; and directorial practice in a theatre form which has emerged as a distinctive set of characteristics, ideological frameworks and practices in the Australian context. The work is strongly informed by the perspectives and practices of a range of major contributors to the field. It notes the inadequacy of conventional analytics and established understandings of the theory/practice nexus for exploring Radical Group Theatre, and establishes an alternate set of frameworks. These enable fresh engagement with the development and current praxis of an important theatre form which has not previously been considered as a whole field yet has taken particularly exciting directions in Australia over the past three decades. Methodology and objectives: An important aspect of the study is the way in which the research methodology parallels the practice under investigation. That is, the practice of Radical Group Theatre in Australia mirrors the 'Reflective Reflexive Loop' which I propose as the pre-eminent principle of the praxis. The methodology has developed out of my Masters degree research which was an interrogation of my directorial practice in the field of Youth/Community theatre, 1976-1989. I was further interested to analyse the field of group theatre to determine whether common key principles identified as characteristics of the form in the earlier study constituted the basis for an analytical model of Radical Group Theatre praxis. The investigation for this thesis began with a project designed to synthesise the essential qualities of directorial practice: the qualities of the good director, the major influences on practice, and the expectations participants have regarding the function of the director. The preliminary findings formed the basis for a comparative study which sought answers to the key questions as they apply to a pre-professional radical theatre setting - university student theatre. This project gave birth to the focus questions of the study which established the theoretical and methodological frames for the thesis.

In this dissertation, I argue that Douglas Sirk was attempting to dissolve the boundaries of the cinematic medium by assimilating elements of avant-garde art, architecture and design into the colour, composition and settings of many of his most popular studio produced films. While the exaggerated artifice of this director�s formal style has often been remarked upon, it has yet to be interpreted in the light of his detailed cognisance of the major art and architectural movements of the period, which include German Expressionist painting and Machine Age Modernist design. This is a lacuna that my thesis should at least partially fill, since I have shown that Sirk�s highly self conscious visual approach was deeply influenced by the artistic debates that were taking place in Europe during the 1920s and �30s and in America after World War II. To my mind, there is no doubt that this director�s syncretic mise-en-scène was the result of an interdisciplinary, transnational dialogue, and I have sought to illuminate some of the social, philosophical and political meanings that it seems to convey.

Les travaux de recherche présentés dans ce mémoire s'inscrivent dans le cadre du développement des techniques d'intégration de puissance SMART POWER, technologies où cohabitent sur le même substrat des composants de puissance haute tension (dans la gamme de 80V) et des composants de commande base tension de type CMOS. Nous étudions les modes de fonctionnement anormaux pendant lesquels l'isolation entre les différents blocs du circuit n'est plus assurée. Les diodes d'isolation, normalement maintenues à l'état bloqué, se retrouvent polarisées en direct ce qui se traduit par l'injection d'un important courant d'électrons dans le substrat du circuit intégré (Ie>1A). Nous détaillons d'abord les caractéristiques et les conséquences de ces courants parasites et donnons un inventaire des techniques de protection employées. Sur la base d'une compréhension physique des mécanismes mis en jeu, appuyés par des simulations numriques 2D, nous présentons deux familles de solutions permettant de protéger le circuit intégré contre ces courants de substrat. La première, dite passive, exploite au mieux la collection et la recombinaison de ces électrons, soit par des anneaux de garde, soit par des MOS de puissance isolés. La seconde dite active, agi sur la polarisation du substrat lui-même et permet, soit de détourner efficacement le courant parasite des zones sensibles, soit de maintenir la diode d'isolation à l'état bloqué. Nous avons ensuite validé ces propositions par des composants de tests spécifiques, puis caractérisé leur efficacité au sein de circuits intégrés complets, réalisés dans des technologies SmartMosTM. Nous avons ainsi obtenu des circuits intégrés dont les courants de substrat sont inférieurs à 50µA.
