A partir da reflexão sobre o conceito de “livro”, pode-se pensar na teoria da “obra aberta” e nas noções de abertura e infinitude do texto literário. Esse percurso possibilita uma incisiva indagação à própria obra, e ao “livro por vir”, cuja essência está no inconcluso, em fragmentos de um livro nunca concluso ou fechado. Através da análise de algumas de suas edições, tentar-se-á pensar o Livro também através do conceito de work in progress e obra rizomática. A primeira parte deste trabalho tem por objetivo refletir sobre o aporte teórico para confecção da dissertação, através de pensadores, filósofos e críticos como Walter Benjamin (1984), José Guilherme Merquior (1991), Malcolm Bradbury e Frederick r. Karl (1989); Stéphane Mallarmé (1991) e Umberto Eco (1968), Homi Bhabha (2005), Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari (2004), Émile Durkheim (1987) e Eduardo Lourenço (1986). A segunda parte é dedicada à metodologia do trabalho, a fim de justificar a escolha do corpus analítico utilizado: edições do Livro do Desassossego realizadas por Leyla Perrone-Moisés (1986), Richard Zenith (2011) e Jerónimo Pizarro (2013). A terceira e a quarta partes são compostas pelo trabalho analítico. Pela análise das edições cotejadas e por meio de uma leitura mais profunda pretende-se a articulação da análise com o aporte teórico e a metodologia. A parte conclusiva do trabalho pretende retomar possíveis achados da análise e sustentar a provocação crítica já iniciada por nomes da literatura, como Eduardo Lourenço e Leyla Perrone-Moisés, segundo os quais o Livro do Desassossego pode ser lido como o símbolo material da certeza de não-fechamento de todos os textos e o possível suicídio da mitologia heteronímica de Fernando Pessoa. / In this dissertation paper, it is an intention to analyze aspects of Fernando Pessoa´s work in the prose-poetic of Livro do Desassossego (Unrest Book) from Bernardo Soares. Starting from the reflection on the concept of “book”, it is possible to think about the theory of the “open work”, and about the literary text´s notions of opening and infinitude. This path enables an incisive quest at the work itself, and at the “book to come”, whose essence is in the inconclusive, in fragments of a book never concluded or closed. Through the analysis of some of its editions, there will be an attempt to think about the book also through the concept of ‘work in progress’ and rhizomatic work. The first part of this work aims at the reflection on the theoretical support for the dissertation confection, through thinkers, philosophers and critics such as Walter Benjamin (1984), José Guilherme Merquior (1991), Malcolm Bradbury e Frederick r. Karl (1989); Stéphane Mallarmé (1991) e Umberto Eco (1968), Homi Bhabha (2005), Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari (2004), Émile Durkheim (1987) e Eduardo Lourenço (1986). The second part is dedicated to the paper´s methodology, in order to justify the choice for the utilized analytical corpus: editions of Livro do Desassossego (Unrest Book) accomplished by Leyla Perrone-Moisés (1986), Richard Zenith (2011) e Jerónimo Pizarro (2013). The third and fourth parts are composed by analytical work. Through the collated editions and through a deeper reading, the analysis´ articulation is intended with the theoretical support and the methodology. The paper´s conclusive part intends to recapture possible analysis´ findings and support the critical provocation already initiated by literary names such as Eduardo Lourenço e Leyla Perrone-Moisés, according to whom Livro do Desassossego (Unrest Book) might be read as a material symbol for the certainty of all the texts’ non-closing and the possible suicide of Fernando de Pessoa´s heteronymic mithology.

This paper is about my relationship to the material clay, and how it has affected my creative process. In this text I argue that clay is a material with human properties. I think of my practice as a dialogue between me and the material, an exchange rather than a monologue. This is how I picture clay as my main partner for discussing the deeper questions of what it is to be human, how clay as material can stand as metaphor for what it is to be living. I argue that clay has the poetic strength to communicate these questions of life of a more existential nature. Through the argument of clay being a material with human properties, I reason that a practice in materiality is a study of empathy since we spend much time with our materials to fully grasp how they behave. I firmly believe that this world is in need of an empathic movement, and I think that the field of craft has the possibility to be part of that movement. I see practitioners within the field of craft as practitioners of the sometimes irrational, emotional and indescribable parts of life. As researchers of the more existential qualities of life, I believe that we are important voices in a society that is getting more focused on rationality. With some help from writers, practitioners and philosophers within and outside the field of craft, I reason around the following research question: Can a material based practice stand as lodestar in todays society, to show empathy towards each other as beings as well as our surroundings?

In my master’s project I investigated an interdisciplinary musical practice based on my artistic and educational background in art, music and philosophy. I chose one concept per discipline: non-idiomatic improvisation from the field of music, the non-productive attitude from art, and pluralist aesthetics from philosophy. I used the three concepts to find materials for my project: both musical materials, for example live improvisation and recordings, and non-musical materials, for example photographs and texts. The materials I found made up the components of a performative piece of music and became musical through contextualisation and metaphor. The photographs, recordings and texts were collected from different periods in my life and represented my interests, relations and values during my different educations. The ensemble that I assembled to perform the music consisted of people that were close to me on both a personal and professional level to emphasise that the music was based on my educational background and personal narrative. Initially I was less interested in the sonorous outcome of my project and I would have accepted it based solely on its interdisciplinary motivations. During my studies I realised that involving musical parameters to a greater extent enhanced the interdisciplinary and non-musical aspects of my project. An important learning outcome of my project was that focusing on the musical particularities of my artistic practice strengthened its interdisciplinary character. This is something that I wish to investigate further as a continuation of this project. / <p>Seduced by (a) last year (Larsson 2020) </p><p>Andreas Hiroui Larsson: composition, cymbals, drums, text, and voice</p><p>Johan Jutterström: saxophone, speaker, USB, and voice</p><p>Johanna Arve: beamer, speaker, USB, and voice</p>

This study is set to explore the theory of speech acts with special reference to Zulu. This is done with the motive of discovering the applicability of this theory to the utterances that are issued by the speakers of this language. Particular attention is given to the performatives as a special kind of speech act. Their examination reveals that in Zulu, there are acts, which could be performed by saying something. We distinguish between explicit and inexplicit performatives. Explicit performatives contain a verb in their main clause which names the act that is performed when a performative is issued. The inexplicit performative on the other hand does not contain this verb. Acts that are restrained as far as the explicit performative is concerned, would rather be expressed by means of the inexplicit performative. Utterances such as those that express commands, customarily make use of the imperative, which is an inexplicit performative. A closer examination of how performatives are realised in Zulu, reveals that in order for the performatives to be understood as intended by the speaker, the illocutionary force, of what the speaker intends or means by the issuance of the utterance in question, comes to the surface. It is the illocutionary force which connote that an utterance is a request, a command, a warning, etc. Performatives can also be double-natured in function. One performative could be a request which is intended as an order. In this case it is the responsibility of the addressee to use contextual information in order to determine that which is the speaker's intention. In this investigation, what has surfaced as well, is that one speech act could be expressed in various different ways. For instance, a request, could be expressed by the use of a performative, an imperative, a question and a statement. Another factor which we came across in this study, and which has a significant bearing on the performative, is that they should comply with the conditions of felicity, if they are to be successful and understood as intended by the addressee. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)

Documentation is usually regarded as an art project’s remain or trace that is created and used in different ways. In performance and digital art, documentation has become the focus of conservation and presentation strategies; however, there is a lack of standardized methods on how to make effective use of the different types of documentation. Using case studies from their own collections/practices, LIMA in Amsterdam, in collaboration with Tate and various artists / initiatives, in June 2020 organized a series of workshops to identify a typological framework of documentation. Specific attention was paid to performative installations, performance art in the museum, networked and research-based art projects.

This Master Thesis focuses on the theoretical reconstruction of a positive feminist conceptualization of vulnerability via the thorough systematization and critical comparison of Martha Fineman’s socio-legal philosophy and Judith Butler’s poststructuralist ethico-political theory. In the introductory remarks, the reader becomes familiar with the turbulent receptions and numerous interdisciplinary re-artications of the term vulnerability within the realms of contemporary feminist theory. The second chapter mainly illustrates the core thematic axes of Fineman’s vulnerability approach. More specifically, the second chapter explores Fineman’s vulnerability perspective both in terms of an alternative ontological paradigm revolving around the recognition of our fundamentally vulnerable, shared, fragile and dependent universal condition, as well as in relation to its juridico-political normative implications apropos of the legitimate political organization of democratic societies and the just function of their central institutions. Furthermore, the third chapter systematizes the dual texture of the Butlerian radicalization of vulnerability in terms of both an existential condition of irreducible relationality, as well as in terms of a socio-politically contextualized and differentially allocated distribution of violence, deprivation, insecurity, injury and trauma to certain -gendered, racialized, sexualized and nationalized- social categories. To that end, the third chapter further elucidates the nuanced differentiations between the Butlerian conceptions of vulnerability, precariousness, precarity and dispossession, while further investigating Butler’s revolutionary constellation of vulnerability and resistance. Conclusively, this Master Thesis critically designates the similarities and divergences between the two above analysed feminist frameworks and supports that the twofold texture of the Butlerian vulnerability theory invests Butler’s ethico-political theory with more nuanced theoretical conceptions and more empowering political devices in comparison to Fineman’s universalistic postidentitarian vulnerability approach. In order to further enhance this core argument, I develop my own critical assessment of Fineman theory’s epistemological, political and conceptual limitations in regard of its self-declared ‘post-identitarian’ structure.
