1	Tracing Motion Clark, Stephanie M 01 January 2015 (has links) This document explores the use of motion within design to defamiliarize a message. The objective is to expand a viewer’s level of understanding through prolonged perception. I experiment with this idea using present-day tools which afford my own movement during the capturing process to create various visual interpretations of motion. I look to László Moholy-Nagy, Aleksandr Rodchenko and Eadweard Muybridge who explored the use of the camera, the new technology of their day, to understand its potential to create a new visual language. They believed the lens of the camera was the eye of the future—and the public’s exposure to the camera’s possibilities an enlightening transcendence. I also believe in exploring newly developed tools; in visually researching their intended and unintended use to discover new perspectives in not only the way we see and represent the world, but the way we understand and represent ourselves in relation to the study of our field.

2	Dans une autre langue : Écrire l’altérité : femmes, migrations et littérature en Italie (1994-2010) / In another language Proto Pisani, Anna 19 June 2013 (has links) Ce travail de recherche examine un corpus littéraire d'auteures qui, dans le contexte de migrations contemporaines, écrivent en italien, tout en ayant une autre langue maternelle, ou encore à partir d'une situation de bilinguisme. Nous nous proposons de voir de quelle manière ces ouvrages, écrits dans une autre langue, peuvent illustrer le concept d'ostranenie, formulé par les formalistes russes pour décrire la création artistique. Trois thématiques centrales guident l'analyse et correspondent aux trois axes de ce travail : les enjeux du plurilinguisme, l'évolution des genres littéraires, la valeur du texte littéraire dans sa relation au monde. Dans la première partie L'italien babélique (chapitres 1, 2 et 3), nous analysons la trame linguistique de ces textes, pour voir de quelle manière et pour quelles raisons ces auteures créent une langue littéraire, à travers la relation entre l'italien et une autre langue. Dans la deuxième partie, Écritures, narrations et poétiques (chapitres 4, 5 et 6), nous abordons les contextes de ces écritures, ainsi que les genres et les formes narratives, à la recherche de schémas de compositions qui régissent les poétiques de ces auteures, sous l'influence des différentes traditions littéraires et des systèmes de pouvoir permettant l'émergence des auteurs et des textes. Enfin, dans la troisième partie Les conflits de la narration (chapitres 7, 8 et 9), nous tirons les conséquences des choix linguistiques et narratifs à l'œuvre dans les textes étudiés : l'observation des images et des idéologies véhiculées nous amène aux enjeux qui traversent ces textes. / The present research focuses on authors who, in the context of contemporary migrations, write in Italian even though they have a different mother tongue or they are bilingual. We aim at showing in which way these works, written in a language other than one's own, can illustrate the notion of ostranenie (that is, turning what is familiar into something strange and foreign) introduced by the Russian formalists to describe artistic creation. We carry out textual analysis along three main dimensions, corresponding to the three section of this work: the multilinguism, the evolution of literary genres, the importance of the literary work in relation to the world.In the first part (Italian Babel, chs. 1, 2, and 3), we analyze the linguistic thread of these texts, in order to see in what way and for what reasons these authors create a literary language through the relation between Italian and a different language. In the second part (Writings, Narrations and Poetics, chs. 4, 5, and 6), we consider the context of these writings, as well as of genres and narrative forms, seeking patterns of composition underpinning the poetics of these authors under different literary traditions and power systems allowing for the emergence of authors and texts. Finally, in the third part (The Conflicts of Narration, chs. 7, 8, and 9), we draw the consequences of linguistic and narrative choices at work in the texts we researched. The observation of the images and the ideologies promoted carries us to the questions lying across these texts. Such consequences offer opposing viewpoints both on current Italian society and on the place of the subject in a postcolonial perspective.

3	Sinister cine-scape: an ostranenie of the everyday through the films of Alfred Hitchcock Wojnarski, Kelly 04 April 2012 (has links) Formal education is primarily based upon learning about space through static two-dimensional representations, while landscape architecture responds to the ever-changing spatial and temporal conditions of the material world. The film medium, with its illusion of movement and three-dimensionality, offers an easily accessible antidote to this conundrum. Although cinematic settings are often constructed to promote a particular narrative rather than emulate physical reality, these filmic worlds trigger powerful imagery which overwhelms the lived experience of space. Through the analysis of three seminal films by director Alfred Hitchcock – Rear Window, North by Northwest and The Birds – this project represents an endeavour to deconstruct the haunting filmic atmospheres which transformed my perceptions of three familiar landscapes. Through the use of drawing and composite graphics, I have sought to understand this cinematic ostranenie – or defamiliarization – of the everyday and its underlying creative potential for the realm of landscape architecture. landscape architecture film studies cinema Alfred Hitchcock perception everyday unfamiliar ostranenie drawing process Manitoba

5	Drömmen i dåliga bilder -En studie om estetiken i Beyond the Black Rainbow och Inland Empire Jakobsson, Kim, Sandberg, Daniel January 2019 (has links) This thesis examines visionary directors David Lynch and Panos Cosmatos aesthetics in the films Inland Empire and Beyond the Black Rainbow. Two films with surrealistic aspects that are using a form of degraded aesthetics to achieve a certain kind of cinematography that is rarely seen in the industry. We examine what tools are being used to achieve the effect with theories concerning defamiliarization, the uncanny and uncanny valley. Aspects of cinematography in these films are working together to create effects that are both defamiliarized and uncanny.

6	Seeing it Straight Harvey, Heather 01 January 2007 (has links) This Master of Fine Arts thesis is divided into four main sections:FAITH and DISBELIEF: In which I reckon with the implications of faith versus rationality as a secular nontheistic artist. IDEAS: The central locus of my work is a place of indeterminacy between what is known/familiar and what is just one step outside of that. This has nothing to do with mysticism, science fiction, or anything else unmoored from established fact. Section also touches on the particular vantage of a female artist with working class roots.THE WORK: Selection of work made during graduate school, and the the guiding thoughts behind each.EMPTINESS, STILLNESS, ABSENCE, GHOSTS, DOUBT: A discussion of influential artists and ideas. sacred faith disbelief doubt funny transformation strange humor secret comical silly nontheism skepticism playful catholic secular working class philosophy ethics aesthetic myth painting sculpture installation site specific emptiness absence ghosts chaos erotic violent gross mortal corporeal mourning doubt indeterminate mystery ambiguity uncertainty sensual strange infrastructure architecture abeyance transient fleeting liminal intangible unseen gothic ostranenie uncanny undecided quiet ineffable atheism mold holes decay loss damage Art and Design Arts and Humanities
