Physical landscape as a narrative of identity construction : the development of an animation design project entitled “My time, my place”Scott, Dana Yvette 31 October 2012 (has links)
This study and the accompanying design project explore postmodern identity construction as a nomadic state of being in relation to the shared experience of space. The potential of the relationship between postmodern identity and physical space is explored both theoretically and through practical application. The main theory explored is ‘third space’, with specific reference to the concept of ‘thirdness’ as articulated by American psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin (in Frosh&Baraitser 2009). This study examines how shared spaces can, through narrative reframed by ontology (Somers 1994), be seen as physical manifestations of the ‘third space’ as envisaged by the likes of Homi K Bhabha (1994) and Edward Soja (1996). The notion of ‘thirdness’ is used to explore the relationship between individuals and shared space. ‘Thirdness’ is also paralleled to Ubuntu. ‘Thirdness’ is investigated as a means to access shared relational spaces that provide an abundance of symbolic narratives that can be gathered and integrated into the self. This study explores how being connected through shared space has the potential to be constructive in identity formation in the wake of unstable postmodern identity. This study uses a design process adapted from Karl Aspelund (2006) as an approach to the research. In the context of this study, design is seen as more than the resulting artefact. It encompasses the thought process, the methods used and steps taken to reach a particular research outcome. This study attempts to form a synthesis between the theoretical research conducted and design praxis in the form of the design outcome. As inspiration for the design action, the design process followed in this research facilitates the exploration of theory that is perhaps unfamiliar to design discourse. The steps in the process allow the refinement of concepts, application of the theory in a practical environment (a paper making workshop) and finally, the visualisation of the theory via the design artefact (an animated short). The medium of animation is selected purposively in order to convey the interpretive narrative derived from the process. The paper produced in the workshop reflects the theory, inspires the narrative of the animation and is used to create the environment and characters of the animation, which, in turn, embody the overarching concepts of the study.

Konst, aktivism och forskning – radikal intervention eller samverkan i det offentliga rummet : Om gränser och territoriell indelning, illusion och det offentliga rummets demokratiOLOFSSON HJORT, ANNA PERNILLA January 2017 (has links)
Uppsatsen utforskar gränser mellan konstnärlig gestaltning utifrån radikal intervention och samverkan i det offentliga rummet. Uppsatsen är indelad i fyra delar med bland annat en del som analyserar det egna Konstprojektet – Bodies of Excess [Överflödiga kroppar]. Konstprojektet utprövar radikal konst som metod för demokratisk intervention i det offentliga rummet. Uppsatsens analys består av dels konstprojektets materialitet, dels av en undersökning om konst, politik och vetenskap – konst i det offentliga rummet, aktivism och radikal demokrati. I uppsatsen utreds platsernas ideologiska symbolik och dess socioekonomiska villkor, vilket illustreras genom att markera de rum i Stockholm som konstprojektet Bodies of Excess undersöker. Med utgångspunkt ur konstprojektet undersöks platsens betydelse och det platsspecifika samt konstnärlig forskning, konstens plats i samhället och gestaltning – offentlig konst. Genom att dra paralleller och se samband mellan rum och kropp, konst och vetenskap, institution och aktivism undersöks idén om konst som radikal konst och som nyttoaspekt i samhället samt hur konsekvenser skulle resultera för de båda formerna, aktivistisk konst och konstnärlig forskning. / Konstnärligt gestaltningsarbete vid Linköpings universitet 30hp (Utställningen som medium, kultur och mediegestaltning [KUM], avancerad nivå).
