Esta dissertação tem como objetivo o estudo sobre a expressão artística e estética dos grafites urbanos, mais especificamente na cidade de São Carlos, tendo como base a contextualização do processo histórico do grafite no Brasil e no Mundo, abordando a sua importância como movimento de cultura, resistência sócio-cultural, veículo de comunicação e obra de arte de rua. Também foram pesquisadas as relações do grafite com o Sanca Hip Hop, evento que ocorre anualmente, desde o ano de 2007, no mês de novembro em parceria com o movimento Negro e o coletivo de Hip Hop de São Carlos. Neste estudo procuramos contribuir para a compreensão das intervenções do grafite - um dos elementos do Movimento Hip Hop - apresentando como instrumento a produção estética na cidade de São Carlos, tendo como um recorte necessário para a amostra dos trabalhos, a pista de skate e imediações do Bairro Santa Felícia e pista de skate e imediações do Bairro Cidade Aracy 2, geradas durante o Sanca Hip Hop e o Pré-Sanca Hip Hop. Os sujeitos da pesquisa são os grafiteiros Bico Madrugas (Danilo Alves Barbosa), Lelin Alves (José Wesley Barbosa Alves), Stan Bellini (Leandro Augusto Bellini) e Spok (Luis Carlos Dias de Almeida), em ordem alfabética, que manifestaram interesse em participar da pesquisa. A metodologia empregada foi a entrevista gravada e depois transcrita com a devida autorização dos grafiteiros: Bico Madrugas e Spok, realizadas em locais diferentes de acordo com a disponibilidade de cada um. A entrevista com os grafiteiros Lelin Alves e Stan Bellini se deram por meio de resposta ao questionário enviado por email, devido os participantes não residirem na cidade. Ainda com relação a entrevistas, algumas questões que surgiram durante a redação do trabalho, foram respondidas através de recurso eletrônico do messenger do facebook. Também foi realizada a análise nas obras que consideramos mais relevantes. Para o embasamento da pesquisa utilizouse o referencial teórico de Lara (1996), Costa (1994, 2000) e Zamboni (2001). / This thesis addresses a study on the artistic and aesthetic expression of urban graffiti in the city of São Carlos. It is based on the historical process of graffiti in Brazil and worldwide and approaches its importance as a cultural movement, socio-cultural resistance, communication means and street art work. It also investigates the relations between graffiti and Sanca Hip Hop, an event held annually in November since 2007, in partnership with the Black and collective movement of Hip Hop in São Carlos. The study aims at contributing to the understanding of graffiti interventions - one of the elements of the Hip Hop Movement by presenting the aesthetic production of São Carlos as a tool. The skate park and vicinity of Santa Felicia neighborhood as well as the skate park and surroundings of Aracy City 2 neighborhood were the sites chosen. They were created during Sanca Hip Hop and Pre-Sanca Hip Hop events. The subjects are graffiti artists Bico Madrugas (Danilo Alves Barbosa), Lelin Alves (José Wesley Barbosa Alves), Stan Bellini (Leandro Augusto Bellini) and Spok (Luis Carlos Dias de Almeida) in alphabetical order, who expressed interest in participating of the research. The methodology used was an interview recorded and transcribed with permission of graffiti artists Bico Madrugas and Spok, held in different places, according to the artists´ availability. The interview with Lelin Alves and Stan Bellini was conducted through a questionnaire sent by email, as the artists do not reside in São Carlos. Some issues arisen were answered by facebook messenger. An analysis of the artework considered most relevant was also conducted. The theoretical framework of Lara (1996), Costa (1994, 2000) and Zamboni (2001) was used as the basis for the research.

Cette thèse a pour objet les images narratives de la Passion du Christ dans les peintures murales tardobyzantines, leur place et leur fonctionnement dans l’espace rituel dont elles constituent le décor. Développé en dessous des images du Dodekaorton, il a une forme et une place très particulières : faisant le tour de la nef et intégrant généralement le sanctuaire dans son parcours, il participe de la construction de l’espace cultuel. Cette approche des images a montré que la forme narrative donnée à ces cycles composant les décors pariétaux, loin d’être fortuite, est porteuse de sens et de discours. Décorant d’abord des fondations byzantines prestigieuses à la fin du XIIIe siècle, le motif ne tarde pas à apparaître dans les églises serbes peintes dans l’entourage du Kralj Milutin, avant de devenir courant dans des monuments plus modestes. Le cycle est envisagé dans sa globalité et non image par image, à l’aide des outils traditionnels de l’iconographie mais aussi de la narratologie, ce qui a permis de mettre en évidence sa structure narrative. Dans une troisième partie, le fonctionnement liturgique du cycle est détaillé, révélant un discours eucharistique et mystagogique qui n’est pas tant superposé au récit en images, qu’il n’est au contraire produit par lui. / This doctoral thesis addresses the narrative images of the Passion of Christ in Late Byzantine mural paintings, their place and their ritual function. This cycle, which takes place under the Dodekaorton, has a clear sequence. Going around the nave and generally passing through the sanctuary space, it participated in the construction of the worship space. A study of the images used shows that such the narrative form given to these cycles, far from being accidental, is a carrier of meaning and discourse. Firstly decorating prestigious Byzantine foundations in the late thirteenth century, this kind cycle soon appeared in Serbian churches painted in the Kralj Milutin’s milieu and then became common in more modest monuments. In this study, the cycle is considered as a whole, using the traditional tools of iconography but also narratology, which helped to highlight its narrative structure. At last, the liturgical function of the cycle is explored, revealing a Eucharistic and mystagogic discours produced by the narrative.

When ancient people entered a temple or other sacred space, how did the art and architecture of the site work upon their senses as mediators of divine presence? This thesis demonstrates that the ancient perception of the deity's actual presence in visual images created a tension that was intensified by the spatial environment and the theatricality of ritual performance. Visual representations acted in concert with cultic ritual to manipulate the visitor through a revelatory experience and create the phenomenon of epiphany. Epiphany, from the Greek word epiphaneia, is the visible manifestation of the deity. Epiphany in the ancient world could manifest as miracles, signs and natural phenomena; however, my thesis will focus primarily on visual epiphany of deity. My aim is to describe how the elements of the built environment and performative ritual combined to create not only the expectation but the actualization of an epiphanic experience for the beholder. The phenomenon of visual epiphany has been largely overlooked until relatively recently. Scholarly examination of temples and other ritual spaces has focused more on archaeological description, formal analysis, mythic narrative, and social and political structures. There has been very little exploration of the actual ritual and neuro-phenomenological experience of religious participants as it relates to the visual environment. With this work my aim is to contribute to the scholarly knowledge of the ancient viewer's experience of epiphany as it was shaped by sacred space and mediated by religious ritual in the ancient world. / text

"Thesis presented June 1998, amended February 2000." Includes bibliography. V. I: text -- v. IIa: Figures -- v. IIb: Figures. This thesis demonstrates the falsity of the assumptions that ancient architects followed innate spatial cues or responses in their designs, that ancient people experienced the resulting buildings through the same responses, and that modern scholars can thus reconstruct both the intentions of the ancient architects and the architectural effects experienced by ancient visitors to ancient buildings throught the medium of their own spatial reactions. This underlying belief is contestable given its basis in unproven and untested late nineteenth century theories of perception. The thesis also demonstrates that the assumption made by modern scholars that the architects of the Forum of Pompeii were primarily concerned with uniformly enclosed space, axial symmetry, and orthogonality, is wrong, and is contradicted by the actual form of the buildings around the Forum.

La presente tesis nos introduce al mundo del street art, específicamente el mural barrial. Para ello nos centramos en los barrios de La Boca en Argentina (1999-2010) y La Victoria en Chile (1984-2010). El mural barrial se observa como una apuesta representacional de una voz consciente, que logra ser analizable y legible como una proposición de enunciados relacionados al resguardo de una identidad social local y una memoria histórica, fortaleciendo la identidad de quien comparte los códigos culturales y los mensajes implícitos. Nos interesa observar y dar cuenta de las relaciones sociales entorno al mural, con el fin de entender las dinámicas que hacen posible su creación, continuidad y difusión en las calles de las dichas localidades. De igual modo se establecen vinculaciones, rechazos y apropiaciones de la forma y contenido mural en los habitantes de la urbe, que se verán fortalecidas por las emergencias sociales y contextos históricos que las rodean generando un debate abierto sobre cultura, política e historia desde una perspectiva cercana y sugerente. ¿Qué historias se representan y representaron?, ¿qué estrategias se utilizan para dar vida a los murales y mantenerlos en el tiempo?, ¿qué memorias reflejan en los espectadores?, y finalmente ¿son también los murales lugares de memoria? Partede las preguntas que se abordan en esta tesis vislumbrando cambios y continuidades entre los murales barriales y las relaciones que entrelazan a sus creadores y la comunidad que los acoge.
