MOTIVATION In the simplest form, a pencil mark on a page is removed by a traditional rubber eraser. However, the marks are often never fully removed, and the paper thins with each attempt to rub out an old idea. But how does one erase a chair? A pilaster? A room? A building?... More importantly, how does the subtractive act of erasing become an additive one? The historical fabric of a building is important; it is also imperative that it does not remain stagnant. Erasing is an opportunity to design an interior environment that both acknowledges the traces of the pencil marks and the eraser. It is an opportunity to learn from historic design strategies and thoughtfully transition into the present to create a living, breathing palimpsest (Plesch, 2015). PROBLEM Current preservation policies and landmarking tactics arguably contradict preservationists’ claims of promoting environmental, economic, and social growth within communities by exempting historical buildings from complying with codes and regulations which consequently use property that could be more sustainably employed. Historical preservation is largely based in social constructs; therefore, present policies should be reflective of societal changes. At times, the act of preserving often removes these buildings from the possibility of a relevant and functional future by attempting to keep them wedged within historical restraints (Avrami, 2016). METHOD Research of precedent incidents of erasure with applications to concepts involving historical preservation and restoration in the fields interior design and architecture will influence the design approach. These precedent studies will include works by Carlo Scarpa, Peter Zumthor, and David Chipperfield. To supplement these studies, other artistic disciplines and artists, including Robert Rauschenberg, will be researched to holistically comprehend approaches to the concept of erasing. The execution of explorations of erasing different objects and media to better understand the process of erasure will also be imperative. These experimentations will include the strategic erasing of pencil sketches and common objects to investigate how to best represent an object that has been erased. PRELIMINARY RESULTS The approach to erasing the historical fabric of a building is largely dependent on the building itself. This is evident in Scarpa’s attention to the physical and metaphorical joinery of new and existing structures in his design of Palazzo Abatellis, Zumthor’s weaving of old and new brickwork at Kolumba, and Chipperfield’s use of exposed ruins in his design strategy for the Neues Museum (McCarter, 2013; Carrington, 2008; RYKWERT, 2009). The process of erasure within the realm of preservation is a constant and demonstrates how the act of erasing allows opportunities for the existence of something new (Katz, 2006). CONCLUSION Choosing to re-program and systematically erase a section of a historically significant but outdated medical tower as a collective art studio space would introduce the opportunity to design an “erased space “as an environment for post-graduate art students to produce creative work. This space would strengthen the growing bond between a school of the arts and a historic medical school while contributing to the culture of the surrounding neighborhoods and contribute to the rich tradition of art within the city.

Os signos do paradoxo e da contradicção são intrínsecos ao poema Invenção de Orfeu (1952) de Jorge de Lima (1893-1953), desde sua intermitente teorização sobre o ato criativo, situado entre o engenhoso e o místico, entre o órfico e o sirênico, entre natura naturata e natura naturans, até a inconstante modulação dessa teoria pela crítica, que chega a convergir, não obstante as polêmicas, na consideração da obra como um difícil volume de altos e baixos, em sentido estritamente qualitativo. Esta tese intenta demonstrar como, em seu inteiro teor, a Invenção de Orfeu está calcada em uma manipulação soberana e mesmo tirana das formas, que redesenha a ars inveniendi barroca a fim de expor a errância e a violação que habitam o interior da Técnica. Dito no sentido teológico latente à Suma Poética limiana, ela demonstra como a essência corruptível que se atribui apenas à matéria, seja ela a linguagem, o sujeito ou a História, emana, desde o início, da própria Forma. Propõe-se aqui uma arqueologia dos três estratos de significado da Invenção de Orfeu, o metalinguístico, o autobiográfico e o histórico, assim como um modo de compreender a patente dialética entre o épico e o lírico através de sua síntese dramática, na trama das vozes actantes que configuram os subpoemas ou no drama sexual e antropofágico que se desenrola entre Musa, rapsodo e Guias (ou comparsas). Tem ainda importância central neste trabalho o conjunto epigráfico da Invenção, que funciona como um mapa estratégico-composicional, articulando em si o dilema da traição e da continuidade entre a literatura sagrada e a profana. O capítulo I coloca em pauta a obra marginal do autor e as epígrafes bíblicas; e analisa as intersecções entre camadas de significado, matrizes e gêneros. O capítulo II detém-se sobre a epígrafe de Guillaume Apollinaire e percorre as relações entre parábola e estranhamento, entre incesto e palimpsesto, desde Ancila Negra até o engenheiro noturno. E o capítulo III enfoca o conturbado trânsito da questão indígena na obra de Jorge de Lima, até sua inflexão final. Em Apêndice, organiza-se material de arquivo, sobretudo poemas segregados do compósito. / Signs of paradox and contradiction are intrinsic to the Invention of Orpheus (1952), Jorge de Limas (1893-1953) major poem, firstly because its theoretical conception of the creative act as a tension between the witty and the mystical, the orphical and the sirenical, natura naturata and natura naturans; secondly based on the inconstant reception by critics, who in spite of their different positions, agree in considering the poem as a difficult and irregular ensemble in terms of its aesthetical quality. This thesis argues that the Invention of Orpheus, in its whole, is grounded on a sovereign and even tyrannical manipulation of forms, reworking the baroque ars inveniendi in order to expose how astrayness and violation inhabits the core of Technique. In terms that are consistent with the theological dimension proper to de Limas Summa Poetica, it demonstrates how the corruptible essence, generally associated only to material, be it the language, the subject or the History, ultimately derives from the Form itself, since the beginning. This thesis presents an archaeology that considers three levels of meaning in Invention of Orpheus, the metalinguistic, the autobiographical and the historical, as well as a mode of understanding the dialectic of the epical and the lyrical through its dramatic synthesis, as in the acting voices that give form to subpoems, or in the sexual and anthropophagic drama between the Muse, the raphsode and the guides (or accomplices). The epigraphic ensemble of Invention is considered crucial to this study, functioning as a strategical and compositional map that articulates in itself the dilemma of betrayal and continuity between sacred and profane literature. The first chapter discusses de Limas marginal works and the biblical epigraphs, analyzing the intersections between levels of meaning, matrices and genres. Chapter II focuses on an epigraph by Guillaume Apollinaire, and analyses the relation between parable and enstrangement, between incest and palimpsest, from Ancila Negra (Black Servant/Support) to the nocturnal engineer. Chapter III focuses on the problematic development of the indigenous conflict in Jorge de Limas work. The Appendix organizes archive materials, especially poems excluded from the composite.

Este último foi publicado postumamente, graças à dedicação e ao trabalho de reescritura de suas filhas, Denise Epstein e Élisabeth Gille. A escritora nasceu em Kiev, no ano de 1903, quando os pogrons assolavam a Rússia e promoviam a migração de quase dois milhões de judeus para outros países. Sua obra foi reconhecida e publicada em sua maioria entre 1925 e 1940, na França, antes da captura e morte da autora em 1942 no campo de concentração de Auschwitz, aos 39 anos. Esses textos ficaram à deriva por mais de 60 anos, sem republicação e relegados ao esquecimento. Com o aparecimento de Suíte Francesa, no ano de 2004, toda a obra da autora foi republicada e seus textos traduzidos em mais de trinta países. Os aspectos gerais são a história dos judeus russos no início do século XX, a migração para outros países, sobretudo na Europa e aos Estados Unidos, a situação da França no período entre as duas guerras mundiais e a perseguição aos judeus que culminou com o Holocausto. Nesse cenário vêm inserir-se as questões íntimas, entre as quais a mais relevante é a relação de ódio com a mãe, que dará origem a muitos de seus textos / Abstract: The project presented here is a study of the work of the Ukrainian writer, Iréne Némirovsky, from 3 of her main works, David Golder, Vin de Solitud and Suíte Francesa. This last one was published posthumously, thanks to the dedication and work of the rewriting of her two daughters, Denise Epstein and Élisabeth Gille. The writer was born in Kiev, in the year of 1903, when pogroms ravaged the Jewish population and Russia was promoting the migration of almost two million Jews to other countries. Her work was recognized and published mostly between 1925 and 1940 in France before the author was captured and killed in 1942 at the Auschwitz Concentration Camp at the age of 39. These works were forgotten and not republished. With the appearance of Suíte Francesa, in 2004, all of her works were republished and her works were translated in over 30 countries / Doutorado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Doutora em Teoria e História Literária

La thèse propose l’étude des variations du mythe de Persée et Andromède au fil des siècles, à travers l’analyse d’oeuvres musicales mises en relation avec des oeuvres picturales et littéraires sur le même thème, selon une méthode de mythocritique – étude des topiques récurrents du mythe dans un contexte littéraire ou artistique – et de mythanalyse comparée – étude d’un mythe dans un contexte social ou historique – appliquée aux différents arts. La problématique de cette thèse – comprendre l’évolution du mythe en fonction de la pensée de l’artiste et de l’époque – s’est formée à la lecture des ouvrages sur le mythe, sur les symboles de Persée et Andromède et sur les relations entre les arts. La méthode appliquée à cette étude, qui rend possible le rapprochement des oeuvres de différentes disciplines artistiques, a été élaborée avec l’objectif d’effectuer la mythanalyse de Persée et Andromède et de comprendre ainsi comment, à un moment donné, les artistes s’approprient des symboles mythiques et livrent leur propre interprétation. Les convergences entre les analyses mythocritiques des oeuvres musicales, picturales et littéraires sur Persée et Andromède, justifient les conclusions mythanalytiques pour une époque précise. L’ensemble de celles-ci, au fil des siècles, à l’image d’un palimpseste, met en lumière le renouvellement du mythe du XVIIe siècle jusqu’à aujourd’hui. / The thesis proposes the study of the variation of Perseus and Andromeda's myth all along the centuries through the analysis of musical works in relation with pictorial and literary works over the same myth, according to a method of mythocritic – study of the recurring topicals of the myth in a literary or artistic context – and compared mythanalysis – myth’s study in a social or historic context – applied to various arts.The aim of this thesis – to understand the evolution of the myth according to the mind of the artist and the era – appeared with the reading of the various works on the myth itself, on Perseus and Andromeda’s symbols and on the relations derived between the arts. The method applied to this study, which makes possible the relationships of works of differents arts, as been elaborated in purpose to make Perseus and Andromeda's mythanalysis and to understand how at some point, the artists appropriated themselves mythical symbols and deliver their own understanding.The convergences between the mythocritic analysis of musical, pictorial and literary works on Perseus and Andromeda, justify for mythanalysis conclusions in a precise time. All of them, all along the centuries – the palimpsest – highlights the evolution of the myth of the seventeenth century until today.

H.D.’s novel Palimpsest has often been analyzed using psychoanalytic theories due to her relationship with Sigmund Freud and his work. However, her own approach to the science of psychoanalysis reveals that she often complemented her scientific understanding with her syncretic religious beliefs, a perspective she referred to as “spiritual realism,” which suggests that analysis with a spiritual nuance may provide a deeper understanding of the novel’s intended purpose. Postsecular theory makes for a useful lens by which to analyze Palimpsest’s treatment of reintegrating spiritual knowledge into Freud’s secular understanding of the modern world by providing the benefits of such a paradigm shift. Because H.D. adopted the ocean as her metaphor for spirituality, eternity, and transcendence, integrating oceanic and archipelagic theories also help to analyze H.D.’s intentions for spiritual realism by providing the characteristics with which illustrate her ritualistic writing process and its transformative experiences.My reading of the novel using postsecular and oceanic/archipelagic theories reveals that Palimpsest has more significance beyond a psychoanalytic treatment of H.D.’s own traumatic past. Instead, H.D.’s reasons for breaking down secular constructs of reality—such as time, space, memory, and individuality—emerge, showing that as an artistic modernist, she was attempting to outline the spiritual solution to modernity’s weaknesses and secularity’s limitations. By providing examples of characters’ poetic communions with eternity, Palimpsest explores the spiritual potential within humanity’s palimpsestic multi-layered consciousness, expressing how that which can transcend time, space, limits of communication, and personal failures can be discovered inward through outward spiritual connection to the eternal. This reading also provides justifications for H.D.’s decisions to write poetic prose novels, an answer to the alienating secular approaches to psychoanalytic knowledge that denied her identity as a poet-oracle, revealing her intent to share spiritual realism’s transformative power despite its secular critics.

This thesis is an investigation of embracing the figural possibilities of palimpsest through layering new construction upon extant. The existing building, a neglected warehouse in Louisville, Kentucky, is challenged by a new program that is intended to subdivide the vast, horizontal space and reconstrue the two distinctly ordered systems to formulate new interdependent spatial relationships. Filtered critical moments and continuities are explored through the implication of collapse, the embrace of datum and ideatum, and the lateral play of scale and repetition. Through development of these new relationships, the building is intended to not be a product but a construct of process, allowing particular moments of composition to exist within a collage of space and time. / Master of Architecture
