Genre memory in the twenty-first century American war film : how post-9/11 American war cinema reinvents genre codes and notions of national identityTrafton, John January 2013 (has links)
In this thesis, I argue that twenty-first century American war films are constructed in dialogue with the past, repurposing earlier forms of war representation by evoking the visual and narrative memory of the past that is embedded in genre form—what Mikhail Bakhtin calls 'genre memory.' Comparing post-9/11 war films with Vietnam War films, my project examines how contemporary war films envision war's impact on culture and social space, explore how war refashions ideas about race and national identity, and re-imagine war's rewriting of the human psyche. My research expands on earlier research and departs from traditional approaches to the war film genre by locating the American Civil War at the origin of this genre memory, and, in doing so, argues that nineteenth century documentation of the Civil War serves as a rehearsal for the twentieth and twenty-first century war film. Constructed in explicit relation to the Vietnam film, I argue that post-9/11 war films rehearse the history of war representation in American culture while also emphasizing the radically different culture of the present day. Rather than representing a departure from past forms of war representation, as has been argued by many theorists, I show that contemporary American war films can be seen as the latest chapter in a long history of reimagining American military and cultural history in pictorial and narrative form.

Vers une musique hantologique instrumentale : réflexions sur l’écriture technomorphe dans le contexte de la musique instrumentale contemporaineAlary, Olivier 09 1900 (has links)
La présente recherche aborde la notion d’écriture technomorphe dans la musique contemporaine. Ce procédé, consistant à transposer des modèles électroniques dans la domaine instrumental, est apparu peu après la création des studios de la Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) et du Groupe de Recherche Musicale (GRM).
Au cours de ce mémoire, nous verrons l’origine et l’évolution de cette écriture, ses possibles formes ainsi que des exemples de sa dissémination dans la musique contemporaine. Nous présenterons également quatre oeuvres, réalisées dans le cadre de la maîtrise, proposant l’idée de musique hantologique instrumentale, écriture technomorphe inspirée par les artéfacts audio venant de la défectuosité des supports d’enregistrement analogiques et numériques. / This research explores the notion of technomorphic writing in contemporary music. This process, consisting of transposing electronic models into instrumental music, appeared shortly after the creation of the Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) and Groupe de Recherche Musicale (GRM) studios. This dissertation addresses the origin and evolution of this approach, its possible forms and examples of its dissemination in contemporary music. Four new pieces, created during this master's degree, further explore the idea of hauntological instrumental music, inspired by audio artifacts from the defective analog and digital recording media.

Exorcising Intersex and Cripping Compulsory DyadismOrr, Celeste E. 08 May 2018 (has links)
Using hauntology as a linchpin, this dissertation explores the undertheorized connection between intersex and disability. Building on important feminist research in the fields of intersex, queer, disability, crip, and hauntology studies, I ask, how do we understand and reconcile the contested meanings, responses to, and effects of intersex? Intersex is “a perpetually shifting phantasm” (Holmes 2002: 175), yet intersex is typically represented and treated as innate disorder, disability, or disease by medical professionals. That said, many intersex people appear to distance from disability. By engaging intersex studies with feminist disability and crip theories, however, I demonstrate that an intersex politic and intersex studies must be rooted in a disability politic and disability studies.
Through a feminist disability and crip lens, I conduct a textual and critical discourse analysis of three case studies of interphobic violence or, what I term, “compulsory dyadism,” meaning the instituted cultural mandate that people cannot have intersex traits or house the “spectre of intersex” (Sparrow 2013: 29); such a spectre must be exorcised. The three case studies include nonconsensual medical interventions, sport sex testing, and employing reproductive technologies to select against intersex variations. My analyses of these case studies produce three important observations. First, intersex is presently and effectively being integrated into conventional notions of disability; second, ableist logics underpin interphobic violence; and third, compulsory dyadism is intertwined with, or is an iteration of, compulsory able-bodiedness. In recognizing this interconnection, theorizing intersex and disability together is not merely beneficial, doing so is necessary. Ultimately, my dissertation interrogates and extends questions of the ever-shifting categorization of body-minds, culturally mandated ways of being, and (the haunting effects of) pathologization. I apply pressure to the academic field of intersex studies as well as intersex activist and advocate communities to center disability in discussions concerning intersex human rights and interphobia.

Momma & Mormor : Berättelsen om FridhemBjörklund, Ingrid January 2021 (has links)
I mitt projekt utvecklar jag konstnärliga designmetoder för att studera, samla in och berätta om kvinnohistoria och interiörhistoria, inspirerat av feministiska och queerteoretiska perspektiv på temporalitet, identitet, historia, material och berättande. Mitt examensarbete utgår från min 90-åriga mormors berättelser om sina barndomsminnen av hennes två mormödrar ‘Momma’ och ‘Mormor’ och hur det var att spendera somrarna på deras gård, Fridhem. I formgivning av bordet Fridhem, tavlan Systrar på gungbräda i trädgården, installationen Flytande fragment och installationen av dessa under Konstfacks Vårutställning 2021 tillsammans med ljudverket Minnen från Momma och Mormors Fridhem, manifesterar jag studierna och berättelsen.
