No. of bitstreams: 1 Fabricio Marques Franco.pdf: 19008905 bytes, checksum: 33a2d57a1e59df9be5f05d42419f6adb (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-06-30 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico - CNPq / This paper is a study on the presence of perverse characters in mass culture, having as its scope the choice of the villain known as The Joker, nemesis of the comic strip superhero Batman. In order to do that, within the domain of psychoanalytic semiotics and fundamentally supported by the semiotics of Charles Sanders Peirce, I intend to analyze the construction and representation of the character throughout its history in different media formats. Through a semiotic analysis of its first appearance in a comic book his fundamental characteristics will be extracted. Next, the social, cultural and historical contexts will be analyzed, with emphasis on two specific moments (1940-1954 and 1973-2008), and always with an intention to establish relationships between the life journey and the reformulations suffered by The Joker. Finally, the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan will serve as basis for a study on perversion and on how its presence in current days' social link may be articulated with the Joker's persistence and ubiquity in the media, as well as with its relevance to the consumer audience of cultural products / Esta pesquisa é uma investigação sobre a presença de personagens perversos na cultura de massa, tendo como recorte o vilão Coringa, nêmese do super-herói Batman. Para tanto, na alçada da semiótica psicanalítica e apoiado fundamentalmente na semiótica de Charles Sanders Peirce, pretende-se analisar a construção e a representação do personagem ao longo de sua história em diferentes mídias. Por meio de uma análise semiótica da primeira aparição do personagem em uma História em Quadrinhos serão extraídas suas características fundamentais. Em seguida, os contextos sociais, culturais e históricos serão analisados, com ênfase em dois momentos (1940-1954 e 1973-2008), sempre com a intenção de estabelecer relações com a trajetória e as reformulações sofridas pelo personagem. Por último, as teorias psicanalíticas de Sigmund Freud e Jacques Lacan serão a base para um estudo sobre a perversão, e de que forma sua presença, como montagem no laço social contemporâneo, pode estar articulada com a persistência e ubiquidade do Coringa nas mídias e, ainda, com a sua relevância para o público consumidor de produtos culturais

Joker och forumspelspedagog : yrkestillvaro i variation

Josephson, Agneta January 2010 (has links)
<p>By means of text creation I approach, reflect upon and try a number of aspects of my own professional existence as a joker in forum theatre and as a forum play pedagogue.This essay is structured like the days of a week and it specifically relates three problematic situations: first, a Monday containing a case of discrimination during the performance, then, a glimpse from a Wednesday when I failed to use the time with enough consideration of our common work and, finally, a Thursday when I was professionally questioned.These three situations are described thoroughly and then they are tried by me. This is carried out partly by reasoning, partly by using for example sociological, pedagogical and above all philosophical texts in order to widen my understanding of my existence as joker and forum play pedagogue. When writing this essay I really realized the importance of taking the reactions of the spec-tators into consideration. I have had the opportunity to develop thoughts about the way in which reflection is created and thoughts about different layers of reflection. I have also pondered over the way in which I distinguish between forum play and therapy as a forum play pedagogue. Yet another question I consider is to what extent the interaction between myself and my clients influences the performance of my work. I have also included thoughts about in what way a person’s professional position and power influence our common work.Finally, my intention is to make my text in some way illustrate its contents. The importance of striving towards this aspect became more and more obvious as the text developed. Among other themes I have focused on for example norms, constructions of time and language metaphors. When writing this essay, I have detected gaps, or inconsistencies, in my performance where ways of thinking are contradictory. I believe these gaps, or inconsistencies, to be the very means for a continued dialogue in the future.</p> / <p>Genom textskapande närmar jag mig, reflekterar och prövar några sidor av min egen yrkestillvaro som joker i forumteater och som forumspelspedagog. Essän är strukturerad som en vecka och rymmer tillbakablickar på tre problematiska situationer: en måndag med diskriminering under en föreställning, en glimt från en onsdag där jag inte disponerade tiden med tillit till det gemensamma arbetet, och en torsdag då jag blev ifrågasatt i mitt yrke.Situationerna gestaltas ingående genom texten och därefter prövar jag dem. Detta sker dels genom eget resonerande, dels via genomlysning med hjälp av texter till exempel hämtade från fälten sociologi, pedagogik och yrkeskunnande men i synnerhet genom filosofiska texter. Arbetet med essän har gjort mig observant på vikten av att uppmärksamma publikreaktioner. Jag har fått möjlighet att utveckla tankar om hur reflektion görs, hur den uppstår och tankar om olika lager av reflektion. Vidare har jag begrundat hur man som forumspelspedagog drar gränsen mellan arbete med forumspel och terapi. Essäskrivandet har likaså fått mig att fundera över hur samspelet med mina uppdragsgivare påverkar utförandet av uppdraget. Genom essän har jag också belyst tankegångar om hur personers ställning och makt påverkar mitt arbete. Jag har genom texten i sig velat ge gestalt åt delar av dess innehåll. Denna aspekt växte sig starkare allteftersom texten växte fram. I texten har jag också belyst till exempel normer, tidskonstruktioner och språkets metaforer. Genom att skriva essän har jag fått syn på glipor där sätt att tänka delvis går emot varandra. Jag menar att just glipor skapar möjlighet till fortsatt dialog.</p>

Mejdřická, Lenka January 2015 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with the possible applications of the dramatic method called Forum theatre in the work with children and teenagers. The theoretical part is divided in to three chapters and where the first chapter introduces Forum theatre. The second chapter describes the formation of the Theatre of the Oppressed concept, whose main technique is the examined method. The third part provides a detailed description of the method including the aims, rules a principles for the role of a Joker. The second part of the thesis examines the relationship of the method towards the educational system of the Czech Republic. Concretely it deals with the key competences, personal and social education a dramatic education. The aim of this thesis is to map the current state of the usage of the method, to determine who, whit what goals and with what susses uses the method. Than the original concept, developed by Augusto Boal for work with adults is confronted with the currently used variations of this method. Based on this analysis some principles, which might be used in the future practice are set. Key words: Forum Theatre, relationships in class, developmental psychology, theme, Joker, personal and social education, primary prevention,drama education, key competencies,

Pre-Existing Film Music Re:sourced : Technical Aspects and Narratological Implications of Audible Diegetic Transitions in Joker and Other Films / Förflyttning av tidigare existerande filmmusik : Tekniska aspekter och narratologiska implikationer av hörbara diegetiska övergångar i Joker och andra filmer

Danstål Skiöld, Martin January 2023 (has links)
This thesis concerns itself with a phenomenon found in film music that can be described as audible diegetic transitions. In short, an audible diegetic transition occurs when film music shifts from one implied musical placement to another by changing its pre­sented sound quality. This occurs predominantly through the employment of music that is pre-existing in relation to the release of the film where the music is utilised. These audible diegetic transitions are categorised as aural displacements and transaural dis­placements which are both anchored in previous re­search concerning stable musical place­ments. In order to answer the research questions regarding technical aspects and narra­tological implications, the thesis is centred around a film music analysis. The de­marcation of said analysis uses pre-existing songs from the film Joker (Philips, 2019) as its main focus. In order to provide a colourful and meaningful discussion the selected material also contains a variety of examples from other films. The analysis shows that the selected audible diegetic transitions can provide narra­tological implications both for a film as a whole and for a specific scene or se­quence in any film. In Joker specifically, the audible diegetic transitions arguably contain the narra­to­logi­cal im­plication of adding to the retrospective and unreliable narration, which is im­port­ant for the story of the film. The thesis also argues that the technical aspects of the ana­lysed audible diegetic transitions can be condensed into being either diegetic to comm­en­tary, or vice versa. Diegetic music is, in this context, defined as music that is im­­­­plied as being heard in the acoustic space of the story-world, whereas commen­tary music is an um­brella term defined as music that is not implied being heard in the acous­tic space of the story-world. The analysis shows that these transitions can transpire either instantly or gra­­­dually with the change of sound quality from being either narrow or wide. These tech­nical aspects contribute in under­standing the narratological im­plications of said au­dible diegetic transition by categorising them as either emotive or groun­ding. Both of these narratological implications can be concluded and described as swift enforcers of the relationship be­tween the one consuming the film and the char­acters, or lo­cations, of the film they are con­­­­suming. Audible diegetic transitions figura­tively breach the fourth wall that is the screen.

Confronting eternity : strange (im)mortalities, and states of undying in popular fiction.

Bacon, Edwin Bruce January 2014 (has links)
When the meritless scrabble for the bauble of deity, they ironically set their human lives at the “pin’s fee” to which Shakespeare’s Hamlet refers. This thesis focuses on these undeserving individuals in premillennial and postmillennial fiction, who seek immortality at the expense of both their humanities, and their natural mortalities. I will analyse an array of popular modern characters, paying particular attention to the precursors of immortal personages. I will inaugurate these analyses with an examination of fan favourite series
