Vartotojiškoji kultūra per įvairias medijas: TV ir reklamą dažniausiai tiesmukai interpretuoja žmogaus kūną. Grafikos darbų kolekcija „Pop“ interpretuoju šį procesą. Ji pagrįsta koliažo technikos principais ir komponavimu. Šio baigiamojo darbo objektas yra vartotojiška kultūra ir žmogaus kūno interpretacijos. Darbai spausti 2014m. Šiaulių universiteto grafikos centre. Tai septynių darbų ciklas 57,5x44,5cm formatu. Atspaustų spalvotų fonų grafikos darbų kolekcija atlikta tradicine sausos adatos technika. Visa kolekcija sukurta mišrios technikos būdu. / Consumer culture usually forthright interprets the human body through a variety of media: TV and advertisement. I interpreted this process with graphic works collection "Pop". It is based on the principles of collage techniques and composition. The theme of this final work is "Consumer culture and interpretations of the human body." The works are pressed in the graphics centre of Siauliai University in 2014. This is a cycle of seven works in format 57.5 x44, 5 cm. The collection of the graphic works is made up in the traditional dry needle technique. The colour backgrounds are printed. The entire collection corresponds to the "mixed technique" description.

This study examines the complex interplay between textuality and bodily performance by tracing their development within these two novels. Both texts are fundamentally concerned with the body and its interaction with a dominant culture. Often, the corporeal frame is posited as a physical text in which the social mores, cultural ideologies, and historical framework of a character's society are expressed through the bodies of its citizenry. However, both protagonists struggle to achieve an autonomous subject position outside the realm of the dominant culture, with varying degrees of success. At the end of Midnight's Children, Rushdie subverts the body's position as authoritative text by aligning the voice of record with textual production. Conversely, DeLillo's protagonist refutes the ability of linguistic representation to adequately convey her pathos, and instead utilizes her body art as the most effective means of communicating the atmosphere of alienation and fear which characterizes the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. / Department of English

There is great potential for the work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in the realm of queer theory, and specifically discussions of gender variance. Their critique of psychiatry, capitalism and the unitary subject in Anti-Oedipus (1983) fits well within the current discussions surrounding transgender and genderqueer experiences including Gender Identity Disorder classifications, the commodification of queer culture, and the challenges put forth to our the "modern subject" by the fluidity of genderqueer. Yet strangely, there has not yet been an explicit, in-depth Deleuzoguattarian ontological reading of genderqueer. This thesis helps to foster such discussions by focusing on Deleuzoguattarian understandings of subjectivity, bodies and politics and how they relate to both gender and genderqueer. Through a method of involution, gender is transformed into molecular gender, into a productive, immanently relational, multiplicitous gender that has substantial implications for gender(queer) politics and activism. / Graduate

As epic was considered a culturally comprehensive genre, so Spenser's Faerie Queene and Milton's Paradise Lost provide an effective locus for inquiry into literary representations of body marks in the Renaissance, and hence of the body itself. While grounded on central principles of Renaissance poetics such as delightful teaching, utpictura poesis, and catharsis, Spenser's and Milton's graphic accounts of wounds and diverse other types of body marks show corporeality can have positive import for the soul and heroic identity, just as they are shaped in part by bodily experienees. This dissertation thus reconsiders the widespread assumption that early moderns primarily viewed the body as a subservient yet sometimes threatening container for the soul.... / Une épopée fut culturellement considérée comme un vaste genre: The FaerieQueene, et Paradise Lost, de Spenser et Milton, sont pertinents pour l'étude desreprésentations littéraires des marques corporelles durant la Renaissance, et du corps.Basées sur les principes de la poésie de l'époque, comme l'enseignement délicieux, utpictura poesis, et la catharsis, les explications graphiques de blessures et autres cicatricesde Spenser et Milton montrent que la matérialité peut avoir une portée positive sur l'âmeet l'identité héroïque: elles sont formées par des expériences corporelles.

Vibration in the vehicle environment has long been investigated considering the driver&#039 / s exposure. However not only drivers but also the front seat car passengers are exposed to considerable amount of vibration. In order to investigate the phenomenon, this research consisted of three stages. In the first stage of the study, model analysis has been carried out. Based on the results it has been suggested that increased damping in the lumbar area in contact with the backrest can decrease the vibration transmission. The second stage comprised of the laboratory studies. Based on the results attained from the model, waist belts filled with different fluids having different coefficients of viscosity were prepared and tested. The inclination of the backrest angle was chosen as the second parameter. The cushions having ready-made gel mediums were seen to be effective in reducing low frequency vibrations where the angle of inclination affected the response of the cushions. In the third part of the thesis, field measurements were carried out in order to confirm the results attained in the laboratory. It was observed that the inclination of backrest angle played a major role in the exposure of the passenger in fore and aft direction. The cushions proved to be effective at certain frequencies in the field, differing due to the design and the medium.
