1	Image Schemata and Transmedia Improvisation January 2014 (has links) abstract: I am interested in performance that includes multiple artistic media. I am looking for a way to communicate with other artists that can clearly express the meaning of an artistic gesture that they can interpret for their medium. I wish to make transmedia performance art with a meaning that is clear to an audience. That meaning can be abstract. Sometimes we call art "abstract" to imply that it has no perceivable meaning. However, everything has meaning. Even if a piece of art does not have narrative meaning, we can still perceive a structure. That is thanks to our imagination. Imagination is our way of making sense of our experience. I believe that if I can identify some of the imaginative structures through which I perceive and understand my own work, I can use those structures to annotate or organize scores for improvised performance pieces. I am interested in how we understand art. One theory of understanding, which comes from Mark Johnson, involves "image schemata." Image schemata (sing. schema) are basic, abstract structures that we develop based on what we perceive from our physical interactions with the environment. We project these structures that come from a physical domain onto the mental domain. Johnson calls this process "metaphorical projection," and he calls our ability to do this "imagination." By metaphorically projecting image schemata from one domain to another, we form meaning of our experiences, and thus contribute to our understanding of the world. I believe that I can use image schemata to explain the meanings inherent in the art I make and to explain the connections in meaning between one artistic medium to another. I wish to apply this in a transmedia performance setting. First, I will analyze previous transmedia works in terms of image schemata. Second, I will make a score using image schemata for an improvised performance. Third, I will reflect on the results of attempting to rehearse that score. / Dissertation/Thesis / M.M.

2	La emisión erótica en la poesía griega: una familia de redes de integración conceptual desde la antigüedad hasta el siglo XX Pagán Cánovas, Cristóbal 25 June 2009 (has links) Tras exponer la metáfora aristotélica, la Teoría de la Metáfora Conceptual y la Teoría de la Amalgama (blending), propongo que esta última constituye un cambio de paradigma. Con la Teoría de la Amalgama establezco un patrón conceptual con que generalizar sobre varios estudios de figuración verbal, en distintos periodos de la poesía griega de amor: lírica griega arcaica, la aparición de las flechas del amor en los periodos arcaico y clásico, canciones populares medievales, y dos poetas del siglo veinte: Ritsos y Elytis. Todas estas imágenes poéticas comparten un patrón que responde a una red genérica de integración conceptual: la EMISIÓN ERÓTICA. Los principales factores de variación son la asignación del papel de emisor a la persona amada o a un agente externo, y la especificación del esquema de imagen EMISIÓN: luz, viento, o un objeto lanzado. La cultura y el contexto fijan otras restricciones que se pueden estudiar sistemáticamente. / This dissertation discusses Aristotle's approach to metaphor, Conceptual Metaphor Theory and Blending Theory, and proposes that the latter constitutes a change of paradigm. I use Blending Theory to model a conceptual pattern generalizing over several case studies of verbal figuration, in different periods of Greek love poetry: ancient Greek lyric, the emergence of the arrows of love in the archaic and classical periods, medieval folksongs, and two 20th century poets, Ritsos and Elytis. All these poetic images share a conceptual pattern that can be modelled with a generic integration network of EROTIC EMISSION. Variation in the realization of the pattern crucially relies on assigning the role of the emitter to the loved person or to an external agent, and on the instantiation of the EMISSION image schema, like light, wind, or an object. Culture and context impose further constraints that can be studied systematically. image-schemata Greek love poetry conceptual integration blending Ritsos Elytis lírica popular neogriega flechas del amor Eros lírica griega arcaica metáfora esquemas de imagen poesía griega de amor integración conceptual teoría de la amalgama (blending) metaphor ancient Greek lyric Eros arrows of love modern Greek folksongs Elytis Ritsos Filología Griega 159.9 80 82
