Alice’s Vacillation between Childhood and Adolescence in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

Karlsson, Jenny January 2011 (has links)
In the novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, Alice, the protagonist, is supposed to be seven years of age. However, the reader can perceive her as older than that and get the impression that she has entered adolescence. Alice vacillates between being a child and striving to act like an adult in her various encounters in Wonderland. In this essay, I will examine Alice’s emotional and intellectual phases in her search for identity, and show the different levels according to developmental theory. Erik Erikson’s, Jean Piaget’s and John Dewey’s research together with other studies form the theoretical framework of this paper. I will demonstrate that while the book does not trace her development as such (i.e. it is not a typical Bildungsroman), it nevertheless highlights a child’s development by juxtaposing different developmental stages. The scientific and realistic functions of developmental theory may at first seem haphazard in the analysis of a literary character in a fantasy world. But, this essay illustrates Carroll’s professional familiarity with his child protagonist through the logic and consistency of his depiction of Alice.  Alice’s adventures in Wonderland reflect the child-adult conflict of Alice on her inner quest for identity. To her the first steps into adulthood, ie. adolescence, include not only psychological growth as in maturity but also physical growth; to grow is to grow up. Her dramatic alterations in size in Wonderland cause great turmoil and confusion as she senses an obligation to adapt her behavior.  Lewis Carroll knew his child protagonist well.

O primado do objeto como indicativo de uma nova concepção epistemológica, necessária para abrir asreais possibilidades emancipatórias do sujeito críticono mundo administrado. O sujeito crítico e consciente de suas determinações, limites e possibilidades nas sociedades capitalistas tardias, se apresenta como quem cultiva sua interioridade e individualidade, em contraposição a autoreferencialidade e o individualismo do sujeito liberal, por isso, mantém um olhar contemplativo, reflexivo e resistente na conquista de sua liberdade em meio a falsa liberdade promovida pela indústria cultural, sendo eticamente sensível e solidário às dores e sofrimentos dos outros e da natureza, e assim, se faz artista e protagonista de um novo tempo. / Critical reflection on the subject and subjectivity in the contemporary context from the thought of Theodor Adorno, specifically in its negative dialectic with the focus on the question of knowledge and barbarism. The primacy of the object as indicative of a new epistemological conception, required to open real emancipatory possibilities of the subject in the administered world. The critical and conscious subject of its determinations, limits and possibilities in late capitalist societies, presents itself as one cultivates his inner self and individuality as opposed a self referentialityand the individualism of liberal subject, and maintains a contemplative, reflective and resilient look in winning its freedom in the midst of false freedom promoted by the culture industry, being ethically sensitive and supportive with the pain and suffering of others and of nature, and thus becomes an artist and protagonist of a new time.

The Art Of The Walk Cycle : Animating Emotions with Artistic Expression

Ghazali, Rania January 2024 (has links)
This exploration delves into the potential of emotional storytelling through walk cycles. Moving beyond traditional animation, it utilizes the expressive power of modern tools to explore how line, shape, stroke weight, color, texture, and sound can be manipulated to create abstract narratives that evoke deeper emotional experience for the viewer.  Drawing on a foundation of psychological principles, scientific research, and relevant articles, the walk cycles become abstract narratives, provoking introspection and emotional connection. The subjective nature of this artistic language is acknowledged, with cultural backgrounds and personal experiences influencing interpretation. The exploration raises questions about the potential for a universal language of emotion in animation, one that speaks not just to the mind, but to the heart. This ongoing journey of discovery aims to observe how viewers connect with these abstract representations and explore the potential for this approach to elevate the art of animation.

In Real Life (Or Elsewhere) : om kreativa processer och parallella verkligheter i dokumentärfilm

Nevanti, Kirsi January 2017 (has links)
Reality isn’t what it appears to be. Contexts are not always clear and visible. People don’t always say what they really mean. And they don’t always mean what they say. When life is your stage manager, anything can happen. I often say, life is hard, my head is harder. Making documentaries is not for the faint-hearted.This PhD project explores creative processes and parallel realities in documentary film, and discusses and conceptualizes the artistic practice of documentary filmmaking. The project consists in part of artistic works and essays that are critical reflections on the creative process and how that process can be conceptualized. The cinematic centerpiece of the thesis is entitled Images and the Worlds of Being (2011–2016). Previous subprojects are A Shift Between Worlds (2013–2015) and an essay book entitled In Real Life (or Elsewhere) (2013). Between 2013 and 2017, more essays were written, some of them translated to English. All the Swedish essays are available in PDF format. All of the works in the PhD project explore creative processes and parallel realities in two different ways: A Shift Between Worlds (2013–2015) explores identity and parallel realities in the gendered world. These works are based on two workshops led by Diane Torr, “Man for a Day” and “Woman for a Day.” They resulted in several component works, including two video essays, two audio works and two large-format photographic works, the latter in collaboration with photographer Johan Bergmark, as well as a short commentary film entitled Diane Speaks Out (2016). Images and the Worlds of Being (2011–2016) – a VR Classic Style film – explores what happens when documentary images are shown on four screens forming the walls of a room. This work also focuses on the view through the camera lens through which the filmmaker meets the world, in a hypnotic tapestry of parallel realities in a tenderly portrayed, runaway present. A sort of logical reasoning about the illogic of our era, in search of elusive reality (to paraphrase Jean Baudrillard) – the presence in the act of seeing. An experiment in the forms of visual knowledge, outside the traditional display windows. Shooting location: The World.

From Snow White to Frozen : An evaluation of popular gender representation indicators applied to Disney’s princess films / Från Snövit till Frost : En utvärdering av populära könsrepresentations-indikatorer tillämpade på Disneys prinsessfilmer

Nyh, Johan January 2015 (has links)
Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in customer awareness. The vertical lineup of Disney princesses spans from the passive and domestic working Snow White in 1937 to independent and super-power wielding princess Elsa in 2013, which makes the line of films an optimal test subject in evaluating above-mentioned simple content analysis methods. As a control, a meta-study has been conducted on previous academic studies on the same range of films. The sampled research, within fields spanning from qualitative content analysis and semiotics to coded content analysis, all come to the same conclusions regarding the general changes over time in representations of female characters. The objective of this thesis is to answer whether or not there is a correlation between these changes and those indicated by the simple content analysis methods, i.e. whether or not the simple popular methods are in general coherence with the more intricate academic methods. / <p>Betyg VG (skala IG-VG)</p>
