The Unraveling of Shakespeare's OthelloJay, Corey M. 27 April 2012 (has links)
This thesis analyzes one of Shakespeare’s greatest tragedies from the perspective of its costumes, and chronicles the start-to-finish process of the costume design for the April 2012 production of Othello held at Pomona College. Incorporating the Pre-Raphaelite art movement with high fashion’s late Alexander McQueen, this thesis brings to light Othello’s predominant themes of race and honesty by means of luxurious textiles and distinct silhouettes.

Le défilé de mode comme «événement» théâtral : trois cas d'analyse : Viktor & Rolf, Alexander McQueen et John GallianoSimard, Jean-Pascal January 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Ce mémoire porte sur trois défilés de mode au cours desquels furent présentées les créations du duo Viktor & Rolf, d'Alexander McQueen et de John Galliano. Il s'agit d'une étude sémiotique du défilé de mode comme « événement », comme présentation spectaculaire dans le sens théâtral du terme. Le concept d'événement est ici de prime importance, car il reconduit l'idée que le défilé est une présentation hors du commun, originale et unique des créations. Cette problématique du défilé comme événement commande une analyse minutieuse et systématisée de tous les aspects de la présentation et de tous les intervenants impliqués dans sa mise en forme, cela en tenant compte que chaque défilé se déroule dans des circonstances spatiales et temporelles spécifiques mais a toujours pour but de créer des atmosphères aptes à séduire un public bien particulier trié sur le volet par les organisateurs. Au chapitre premier, une description formelle de chacun des trois défilés de mode est développée selon trois axes définissant chacune des présentations, soit l'environnement, les vêtements et les mannequins. Ces trois pôles sont développés suivant la chronologie des événements et mettent en lumière les principaux éléments qui seront repris en profondeur au cours des analyses. Le chapitre second présente les théories d'Anne Ubersfeld publiées dans deux de ses ouvrages majeurs Lire le théâtre I et II qui traitent du modèle actantiel développé en regard du théâtre. Ce modèle, fondé sur la théorie sémiotique de Greimas, tient compte des rôles actantiels tenus par le destinateur, le sujet, le destinataire, l'objet, l'adjuvant et l'opposant, et ce sont ces paradigmes qui sont ici retenus dans le but de faire ressortir les interrelations qui se tissent au sein de chacun des défilés de mode selon des circonstances spatio-temporelles spécifiques. Le troisième chapitre, qui est essentiellement celui des analyses de cas, met le modèle actantiel en pratique mais tient également compte de trois aspects particuliers du défilé de mode: le récit, au sens théâtral du terme, les enjeux financiers et les artifices de création. Ces adaptations du modèle actantiel aux cas d'analyse conduisent, dans une certaine mesure, à la construction d'un nouveau gabarit analytique. En conclusion à ce mémoire et relativement à l'aspect séducteur du défilé de mode, ce sont les hypothèses développées par Jean Baudrillard qui servent d'assises théoriques. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Défilé, Mode, Événement, Théâtre, Spectacle, Sémiologie, Viktor & Rolf, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano.

Previous issue date: 2018-02-16 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) / Este trabalho de pesquisa tem como objetivo refletir sobre 12 anos de escravidão, em duas vertentes: o livro de Solomon Northup (1853) e a adaptação cinematográfica de Steve McQueen (2013). Entendemos, assim, as duas obras como representações do sistema escravagista e da vida do escravo, no caso, especificamente, de Northup, servindo como mediadoras do trauma cultural na sociedade norte-americana e influenciando a forma como a identidade do afro-americano é construída. Pretendemos estudar o gênero narrativas de escravos, contextualizando a autobiografia de Northup, com o intuito de analisá-la especificamente. Utilizaremos, então, autores como Olney (1984), Lingold (2013), Pope (2014), Roy (2015), entre outros. Faremos, doravante, um exame sobre filmes comerciais com o tema escravidão, com o intuito de apontar como cada um deles dialoga com a sociedade na época de sua produção, tornando-se contradiscursos ao pensamento vigente. Basearemo-nos em Sklar (1978), Kellner (2001), Mascarello (2006) e Rosenstone (2015). Passaremos à análise do filme de McQueen, procurando indícios de uma nova abordagem do tema escravidão no cinema, apontando, também, como, em diversos momentos, livro e filme se relacionam, seja na semelhança ou na diferença. A seguir, propomos uma reflexão sobre como as duas obras influenciaram e influenciam a construção da identidade do afro-americano, levando em consideração o trauma cultural legado pelo sistema escravagista na sociedade estadunidense. Apoiaremo-nos em textos de Cartmell e Hunter (2001), Browne e Kreiser Jr. (2004), Wilt e Shull (2004), Levine (2010), Ross (2010), Dubey (2010), Keizer (2010), Nigro (2011), Romney (2014), além dos de Eyerman (2001, 2011) e Pederson (2014), que falam especificamente sobre trauma cultural. Finalmente, faremos um breve levantamento de fatos e obras importantes que acontecem após o lançamento do filme, a fim de ressaltar a importância e relevância de 12 anos de escravidão para a continuação da discussão sobre a instituição peculiar norte-americana. / This research aims to reflect on 12 Years a Slave, regarding two media: the Solomon Northup novel (1853) and the Steve McQueen film adaptation (2013). Therefore, the two works are considered as representations of the slavery system and slave life, in Northup’s case, specifically, serving as cultural trauma mediators in the North-American society and influencing the way African-American identity is built. We intend to study the slave narrative genre, contextualizing Northup's autobiography, aiming to analyze it specifically. We will draw on authors such as Olney (1984), Lingold (2013), Pope (2014), Roy (2015), and others. Henceforth, we will examine commercial, slavery-themed movies, with the goal of pointing out how each of them dialogs with the society at the time of its production, becoming counter-discourses to the valid thinking then. We will be supported by Sklar (1978), Kellner (2001), Mascarello (2006), and Rosenstone (2015). We will carry on to the analysis of McQueen's movie, searching for indications of a new approach to the slavery theme in film, also pointing out how, in several moments, the novel and the movie relate to each other, whether in similarities or differences. After, we propose a reflection on how the two works have influenced the African-American identity construction, taking into consideration the cultural trauma left by the slavery system in the American society. We will draw on research conducted by Cartmell e Hunter (2001), Browne e Kreiser Jr. (2004), Wilt and Shull (2004), Levine (2010), Dubey (2010), Keizer (2010), Nigro (2011), Romney (2014), besides the ones of Eyerman (2001, 2011), and Pederson (2014), which specifically talk about cultural trauma. Finally, we will briefly yield data on important facts and works that happened after the movie launching, aiming to highlight the importance and relevance of 12 Years a Slave to the continuing of the discussion on this peculiar North-American institution.

Elevating the Other: A Theoretical Approach to Alexander McQueenRowe, Keri 01 March 2015 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis examines the relationship between art and fashion in order to first, justify fashion as an art form, and second, demonstrate the applicability of critical theory to the study of fashion through an examination of Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2006 menswear collection, titled “Killa,” presented in Milan, Italy, in 2005. “Killa,” loosely based on William Golding's 1954 novel Lord of the Flies and its 1963 film adaptation, opens with crisp, white, tailored suits worn by neatly groomed models. Steadily throughout the collection, these tailored suits are exchanged for wide-legged, cropped shorts, and tanks in browns and beiges. By the end, models appear on the runway with painted faces, wild hair, and highly patterned, dark-colored body suits and billowing capes. While “Killa” appears to demonstrate the narrative regression from civilized to savage demonstrated in Golding's novel, this thesis argues that McQueen's collection actually strives to promote a more positive ennobling of the Other. A careful study of his life and career suggests that McQueen perceived himself as the Other within the community in which he worked and lived. Frustrated by frequent misinterpretations of his work and false accusations of his character, “Killa” becomes McQueen's ultimate confrontation with Otherness. Positioning the Other at the climax of an elite fashion show, represented by Mesoamerican designs depicted through the highest quality tailoring, McQueen's Other is respected and revered, rather than looked down upon. In this way, McQueen challenges the perception of his own character within the fashion community. Ultimately this thesis seeks to demonstrate the necessity of the application of critical theory to objects of fashion. As demonstrated through the case study of McQueen's 2006 menswear collection, this academic consideration has the potential to reveal important overlooked meanings within the art of fashion. This suggests that McQueen's work, as well as the work of other contemporary fashion designers, merits more thoughtful and careful interpretation in the study of postmodern art history.

Playing patsy: film as public history and the image of enslaved African American women in post-civil rights era cinemaMitchell, Amber N. 12 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis / The goal of this thesis is to understand the relationship between the evolving representations of African American women in post-Civil Rights era films about the Transatlantic slave trade; the portraits these images present of black women and their history; and how these films approach the issues of difficult heritage and re-presenting atrocity in entertainment. Film shapes the ways in which we understand the past, leaving a lifelong impression about historical events and the groups involved. By analyzing the stories, directorial processes, and the public responses to four films of 20th and 21st centuries focused on the controversial historical topic of American chattel slavery and its representation of the most underrepresented and misunderstood victims of the Peculiar Institution, this work will argue that, when supplemented with historiography and criticism rooted in historical thinking, cinematic depictions of the past make history more accessible to the public and serve as a form of public memory, shaping the way the public thinks about our collective past.

'Great British Fashion Is...' : An Institutional Analysis of Vogue and the V&AMorrison Barrs, Eanna January 2019 (has links)
Both the fashion magazine and the fashion exhibition are powerful and authoritative sites for the representation, interpretation, and construction of fashion. Despite various intersections between the two, their relationship has remained relatively unstudied. This thesis aims to reveal and problematize the relationship between leading institutions in the United Kingdom: British Vogue and the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A). An analysis of British Vogue’s content and the V&A’s fashion exhibitions of Vivienne Westwood: 34 Years in Fashion (2004) and Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty (2015) is employed in order to unpack how these institutions are involved in defining and institutionalizing what fashion is in a national context. This institutional analysis considers the wider implications of the conception of British fashion produced by these institutions in regard to class, race, and gender, as Great British fashion is dependent on a system of representations that reveals hierarchies and exclusions.

Dinosaurier, drakar, vapen, rymdskepp, aliens, eld, monster, farliga djur : Om att passa in i samhället eller hitta hem utanför. / Dinosaurs, dragons, weapons, spaceships, aliens, fire, monsters, dangerous animals : To fit into society or to find your home outside.Pettersson, Mattias January 2019 (has links)
I denna text vill jag, som undertiteln skvallrar, prata om att passa in i samhället eller hitta hem utanför. Arbetet har den enkla strukturen att det börjar med att prata om hinder man kan ha för att ”passa in”, såsom att inte klara prestations-pressen man känner från en osynlig makt, eller helt enkelt av att bryta från normen (här med fokus på att vara bög eller queer). Vidare via min och andras historier kring att ha sitt psyke eller sina känslor som en grundläggande parameter i sitt konstnärskap, och går sen avslutningsvis ut i några andra alternativa vägar att hitta hem utanför; drag och frivillig enkelhet. Varsågod. / Dinosaurs, dragons, weapons, spaceships, aliens, fire, monsters, dangerous animals. Never interested me. That's why they interest me. Through intuitive sculpting, stories about my traumas, lusts and needs are formed, and about the society they exist in. I can see a tension towards the boy I never was/the man I never became, and a longing after to now approach him om my own terms. The sculptures are crooked, weak, broken, naive and weird, and in this becomes a vital space where that is allowed. The pieces are standing with the underdogs. In a movement upwards.

Conditional Truths: Remapping Paths To Documentary 'Independence'Lang, Ian William, n/a January 2003 (has links)
(Synopsis to introductory statement): An introductory statement to five documentary films made by Ian Lang in Australia between 1981 and 1997 exemplifying a 'democratising' model of sustainable and ethical documentary film production. This document critically reflects on the production process of these films to accompany their submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Publication at Griffith University. It finds that a contemporary tendency towards 'post-industrial' conditions allows an observational film-maker to negotiate a critical inter-dependence rather than a romantically conceived 'independence' traditional to the genre. [Full thesis consists of introductory statement plus six DVD videodiscs.]
