This paper examines nostalgia in photo-poetry book Nostos, and nostalgia’s existence as a theoretical global condition arising from displacement, looking at nostalgia specifically not as a yearning for home, but a yearning for a lost sense of feeling at home. It traces the lineage of image-text hybrid art practices and examines the significance of conveying meaning through both synergistically. It studies the psychoanalytic process of transforming loss into object, or absence into presence, ultimately using the object as a lens to view oneself and the way in which nostalgia manifests itself.

In this thesis, a semi-autobiographical manga, Hadashi no Gen, written by Nakazawa Keiji, is analyzed through the lens of trauma theory. By using trauma theory, I hope to shed light on in what way trauma might affect narrative techniques and in what way the narrative techniques convey trauma and emotion to the reader. For the analysis “Trauma Fiction” by Anne Whitehead was chosen and categories based on her findings were made. The categories are: Intertextuality, repetition, dispersed and fragmented narrative voice, memory place, choiceless choice and fantastic. I discovered that all these themes, observed in other trauma fiction as well, are more or less used as a narrative tool in Hadashi no Gen. Further I observed that by conveying traumatic events and emotions through a combination of images and language is a powerful tool and might even be more effective than standard prose text

In this work the text-image alignment was applied in news sites. A lot of news do not make clear the correspondence between elements of a text and elements within the associated image. In this scenario, text-image alignment arises with the intention of guiding the reader, bringing clarity to the news and associated image since it explicitly explains the direct correspondence between regions of the image and words (or named entities) in the text. The goal of this work is to combine Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV) techniques to generate a text-image alignment for news: the LinkPICS aligner. LinkPICS uses the YOLO convolutional network (CNN) to detect people and objects in the image associated with the news text. Due to the limitation of the number of objects detected by YOLO (only 80 classes), we decided to use three other CNNs to generate new labels for detected objects. In this work, the text-image alignment was divided into two distinct processes: (1) people alignment and (2) objects alignment. In people alignment, the named entities identified in the text are aligned with images of people. In the evaluation performed with the Folha de São Paulo International news corpus, in English, LinkPICS obtained an accuracy of 98% precision. For the objects alignment, the physical words are aligned with objects (or animals, fruits, etc.) present in the image associated with the news. In the evaluation performed with the news corpus of BBC NEWS, also in English, LinkPICS achieved 72% precision. The main contributions of this work are the LinkPICS aligner and the proposed strategy for its implementation, which represent innovations for the NLP and CV areas. In addition to these, another contribution of this work is the possibility of generating a visual dictionary (words associated with images) containing people and objects aligned, which can be used in other researches and applications such as helping to learn a second language. / O alinhamento texto-imagem é a tarefa de alinhar elementos presentes em um texto com elementos presentes na imagem que o acompanha. Neste trabalho, o alinhamento texto-imagem foi aplicado em sites de notícias. Muitas notícias não deixam clara para o leitor a correspondência entre elementos do texto e elementos contidos na imagem associada. Nesse cenário, o alinhamento texto-imagem surge com a intenção de orientar o leitor, trazendo clareza para a notícia e a imagem associada uma vez que explicita a correspondência direta entre regiões da imagem e palavras (ou entidades) no texto. O objetivo deste trabalho é combinar técnicas de Processamento de Linguagem Natural (PLN) e Visão Computacional (VC) para gerar um alinhador texto-imagem para notícias: o alinhador LinkPICS. O LinkPICS utiliza a rede convolucional (CNN) YOLO para detectar pessoas e objetos na imagem associada ao texto da notícia. Devido à limitação do número de objetos detectados pela YOLO (80 classes de objetos), optou-se também pela utilização de outras três CNNs para a geração de novos rótulos para objetos. Neste trabalho, o alinhamento texto-imagem foi dividido em dois processos distintos: (1) o alinhamento de pessoas e (2) o alinhamento de objetos. No alinhamento de pessoas, as entidades nomeadas são alinhadas com imagens de pessoas e na avaliação realizada no córpus de notícias da Folha de São Paulo Internacional, em inglês, obteve-se uma precisão de 98%. No alinhamento de objetos, as palavras físicas são alinhadas com objetos (ou animais, frutas, etc.) contidos na imagem associada à notícia e na avaliação realizada no córpus de notícias da BBC NEWS, também em inglês, obteve-se uma precisão de 72%. As principais contribuições deste trabalho são o alinhador LinkPICS e a estratégia proposta para sua implementação, que representam inovações para as áreas de PLN e VC. Além destas, outra contribuição deste trabalho é a possibilidade de geração de um dicionário visual (palavras associadas a imagens) contendo pessoas e objetos alinhados, que poderá ser utilizado em outras pesquisas e aplicações como, por exemplo, no auxílio ao aprendizado de outro idioma. / CNPQ: 133679/2015-2

Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas / O presente trabalho propõe-se a analisar a construção do tópico discursivo em histórias em quadrinhos (HQ) escritas por uma díade de alunas recém-alfabetizados de um 2º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola da rede pública da cidade de Maceió. Inserido no campo de estudo da Genética Textual, e assumindo como base teórico-metodológica as investigações sobre processos de escritura em ato e manuscritos escolares proposta por Calil (2008, 2009), considerando as reflexões sobre as relações entre texto em quadrinhos (LINS, 2008), as propriedades de centração e organicidade constitutivas do tópico discursivo, conforme indicado por Koch et al.(1996), e as noções da Linguística Textual acerca da Referenciação (KOCK, 2006; KOCH & ELIAS, 2010), nosso objeto de perquirição está voltado para a análise das filmagens de processos de escritura em ato, bem como dos manuscritos, quando uma dupla (Ana e Maria, ambas com 08 anos de idade) de discentes escreviam propostas de produção de HQ. Este processo e seu manuscrito estabeleceram-se a partir do diálogo entre as alunas, enquanto criavam e escreviam, em dois processos de escritura distintos, historinhas da Turma da Mônica sem os textos escritos, o que poderia acompanhar os quadrinhos oferecidos como suporte. Com o apoio do programa de computador ELAN, pudemos descrever e associar, cronologicamente, um complexo sistema semiótico composto pelas imagens captadas (movimentos de corpo, gestos, mãos, expressões faciais, posição da caneta e direções do olhar), o que foi falado e combinado e, por fim, pelo que ficou escrito em cada quadrinho. Dentre os aspectos mais importantes que ocorreram durante o estabelecimento do tópico discursivo pela díade no primeiro processo/manuscrito está a preponderância da perspectiva enunciativa enquanto-leitoras-de-imagens sobre a perspectiva enunciativa enquanto-autoras-da-narrativa-em-quadrinhos , representada através da interação gráfico-visual entre os personagens; e no segundo processo/manuscrito, houve alternância entre uma e outra perspectiva, prevalecendo, no texto final após interferências do professor que conduzira a aula , o segundo posicionamento. Por fim, nossa análise advoga a necessidade de se refletir e diferenciar a constituição do tópico discursivo em HQ a partir da recepção, quando os alunos, professores (e pesquisadores) assumem a posição de leitores e a constituição do tópico discursivo em HQ a partir da produção, quando os alunos assumem a posição de escreventes, sendo necessário um empreendimento lingüístico-cognitivo para se construir a perspectiva dos personagens que falam e não a do narrador que descreve.

<p dir="ltr">This thesis involves three topics related to forensic analysis of media data. The first topic is the analysis of images and documents that have been created with a scanner. The goal is to detect and identify scanner model from the scanned images/documents. We propose a deep learning system that can automatically learn the inherent features of the scanned images. This system will produce a scanner model identification and a reliability map for a scanned image. The proposed system has shown promising results in the forensic analysis of scanned images. The second topic is related to forensic integrity of scientific papers. The project is divided into multiple tasks, data collection, image extraction, and manipulation detection. We have constructed a dataset of retracted scientific papers that have been verified to have issues with integrity. We design and maintain a web-based Scientific Integrity System for forensic analysis of the images within scientific publications. The third topic is related to media document analysis. Our goal is to identify the publication style for media document, aiding in the potential document manipulation. We are mainly focusing on image-text consistency check, and synthetic tweets analysis. For image-text inconsistency check, we describe a system that can examine an image in document and the corresponding text caption (or other associated text with the image) to check the image/text consistency. For synthetic tweets analysis, we propose a system to detect and identify the text generation models and paraphrase attack models.</p>

This thesis explores the relationship between image and text in four devotional books printed in Münster Germany between 1589 and 1660, and shows how this relationship supported the Catholic confessionalization programs of the three prince-bishops of those years. These confessionalization strategies, though varied, all emphasized the reinforcement of religious conformity leading to the consolidation of the authority of the ecclesiastical and secular leadership of the prince-bishop. The success of the confessionalization strategies of the three prince-bishops through this medium were the result of three contributing factors. The first of these was the printer of the works, the Raesfeldt printing house, which held a printing monopoly from all three of the prince-bishops. The second factor was the Jesuits who were responsible for education and indoctrination in Münster and shaped a significant portion of this literature. The last contributing factor was the readers, a group with a relatively wide spectrum of abilities in literacy who bought, read, and exchanged the books. Among the readers were a significant number of women readers who took up the confessional message of these books, wound it into their devotional lives, and strove to perpetuate Catholic piety within their homes. Although conventional wisdom suggests that images played a minor role in such programs, images were crucial elements in the communication of Catholic orthodoxy. This thesis shows how images were an equal partner in the conveyance of a nuanced Catholic confessional message in which the text directed a specific Catholic viewing and reading experience. The majority of the images do not carry an intrinsic Catholic message but rather present a traditional visual vocabulary that established an unbroken lineage between the Catholic Church and the pre-Reformation Church. These images provided the standard recurring theme around which the confessionalization message of the text was fashioned. As a distinctly regional literature, these devotional works reveal a localized Catholic response to Protestant polemic. They give valuable insight into the influence of confessionalization programs on regional devotional practices. The lasting effects of these confessionalization programs are still visible in Münster’s Catholic character today.

This thesis examines the Swedish 19th century family magazine, Svenska Familj-Journalen, and the interaction between bourgeois attitudes, science, and depictions of animals. My main purpose is to demonstrate how image-text divergences can discover ruptures between 19th century bourgeoise ideology and science. The study consists of a selection of illustrations and texts, the majority being popular zoology depictions that were published in the magazine between 1877–1882. By using nature-culture oppositions as well as art historian Sonya Petersson’s concept of the counteractive illustration, I am able to elucidate differences between texts and images. The texts and images are subsequently analyzed by relating them to contemporary scientific discourses, as well as to the early Swedish animal welfare and nature conservation movements.  The results of this study are that image-text divergences reveal 1) that images of animals could depict the animal as such, rather than as a symbol of bourgeois ideals, 2) an insecurity in the magazine’s attitudes toward Darwin’s theory of sexual selection, illustrating circumstances where the magazine chose to adhere to its ideological dispositions rather than accept Darwinian consensus, 3) that the magazine, in publishing texts that were critical of wild life exploitation, diverged from its progress oriented narrative, and that its use of images counteracted these messages.
