Parmi les réalisateurs, producteurs et acteurs de Bombay, Raj Kapoor (1924-1988) est certainement l’un des plus célèbres et des plus originaux, qu’il s’agisse de son œuvre ou de sa personnalité. Sa vaste filmographie qui rassemble quelques-uns des plus beaux mélodrames du cinéma populaire hindi reste méconnue en France. Proches du peuple, ces mélodrames révèlent un phénomène présent dans différentes situations et sous différents aspects : le sentiment d’incompréhension.Ce travail de recherche, inspiré par la lecture de Peter Brooks et Stanley Cavell sur le mélodrame, se donne pour but de montrer que les mélodrames de Kapoor sont porteurs d’un concept particulier qui les unit et les définit comme un genre cinématographique propre que nous appellerons « mélodrame de l’incompréhension ». Le sentiment de ne pas comprendre ou d’être « mal compris » qui hante ces mélodrames se cristallise non seulement à partir des enjeux esthétiques, historiques, politiques et culturels mais aussi des événements personnels.S’appuyant sur l’esthétique du mélodrame, Kapoor multiplie la présence métaphorique du héros aveugle qui pointe la difficulté ou l’impossibilité de communiquer et fait grief à la société de ne pas le comprendre. Inscrivant sa souffrance dans un contexte plus large, le mélodrame kapoorien dépasse les frontières du drame intimiste pour s’élever au niveau du peuple, voire de la nation, selon certains auteurs. Pour amplifier le phénomène d’incompréhension, le mélodrame utilise le malentendu, la méprise, l’ignorance, la confusion, l’illusion, etc. au point que ces difficultés de communication paraissent très clairement représenter des éléments structurels marqués par la réflexion de Kapoor sur l’incompréhension, teintée de mélancolie et de tristesse. / Among Bombay’s directors, producers and actors, Raj Kapoor (1924-1988) is certainly one of the best known and most original both for his work and for his personality. His vast filmography which constitutes a collection of some of the most beautiful melodramas of Hindi popular cinema remains virtually unknown in France. Close to the people, these melodramas reveal a theme which is universally present, illustrated in a variety of situations and different lights. It is the phenomenon of incomprehension.The present work, inspired by a reading of Peter Brooks and Stanley Cavell on the subject of melodrama, aims to show that Kapoor’s melodramas treat this specific theme which unites them and allows them to be defined as a distinct cinematic genre here termed "melodrama of incomprehension." The feeling of inability to understand or of being misunderstood which haunts these melodramas is gleaned not only from aesthetic, historical, political and cultural subjects but also from personal experience.Drawing on the aesthetics of melodrama, Kapoor multiplies the metaphorical presence of the blind hero illustrating the overwhelming difficulty of communication, and blames society for a lack of understanding. Extending the resulting suffering to a wider context, Kapoor’s melodrama transcends the bounds of individual drama, reaching out to the level of the people as a whole, indeed to the entire nation according to some authors. To amplify the phenomenon of incomprehension, his melodrama uses misunderstanding, scorn, ignorance, confusion, illusion, and more. Kapoor does this to a point at which these difficulties of communication clearly represent identifiable structural elements in his portrayal of incomprehension imbued with melancholy and sadness.

Τα τελευταία χρόνια γίνονται αρκετές μελέτες πάνω σε συναισθηματικές εκφράσεις προσώπου. Σκοπός τους είναι η μελέτη της αντίδρασης του εγκεφάλου πάνω σε σχετικά ερεθίσματα, κάτι που βρίσκει εφαρμογή σε πολλούς τομείς, όπως οι Νευροεπιστήμες, η Τεχνητή Νοημοσύνη και η Ψυχολογία. Διενεργούνται αρκετά πειράματα, τα οποία βασίζονται σε απεικονίσεις εκφράσεων προσώπου, οι οποίες συνήθως ομαδοποιούνται σε βάσεις δεδομένων με φωτογραφίες εκφράσεων προσώπου. Στην παρούσα Διπλωματική εργασία, γίνεται προσπάθεια αναβάθμισης υπάρχουσας βάσης δεδομένων με φωτογραφίες συναισθηματικών εκφράσεων Ελλήνων. Αρχικά μελετάται το θεωρητικό υπόβαθρο των συναισθημάτων και των συγκινήσεων, καθώς και ο ρόλος τους στην ανθρώπινη συμπεριφορά. Στη συνέχεια δίνεται έμφαση στις βάσεις δεδομένων διαφόρων μελετών πάνω σε φωτογραφίες συναισθηματικών εκφράσεων του προσώπου, όπου και παρουσιάζεται ο τρόπος ανάπτυξης τέτοιων βάσεων. Η συνέχεια περιλαμβάνει την ψηφιακή ανάλυση των φωτογραφιών με τη χρήση λογισμικών πακέτων, δηλαδή τη μορφοποίηση και την ανάλυση χωρικών συχνοτήτων. Στην πρώτη περίπτωση επιλέγονται δύο συγκεκριμένα συναισθήματα και κατασκευάζονται καινούριες ενδιάμεσες (μορφοποιημένες) φωτογραφίες. Στη δεύτερη, εφαρμόζονται φίλτρα ως προς τη χωρική συχνότητα και προκύπτουν φωτογραφίες με χαμηλές και υψηλές χωρικές συχνότητες. Το σύνολο των φωτογραφιών που προκύπτει, αποτελεί τη βάση δεδομένων για το σύστημα διαχείρισης που κατασκευάζουμε. Πρόκειται για ένα πρόγραμμα που διαχειρίζεται ποικιλοτρόπως τη βάση δεδομένων και παρέχει αρκετές ευκολίες στον πειραματιστή στην έρευνά του. Στα πλαίσια του προγράμματος, αξιολογητές προσπαθούν να βρουν τι είδους συναίσθημα απεικονίζεται στις φωτογραφίες που βλέπουν. Η κάθε απάντηση των χρηστών αποθηκεύεται και μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για στατιστική επεξεργασία. Απώτερος στόχος είναι να γνωρίζουμε ποιες φωτογραφίες αποτελούν ορθότερη αναπαράσταση για τα συναισθήματα που εν γένει απεικονίζουν, για να αποτελέσουν μια αρκετά αξιόπιστη βάση δεδομένων, η οποία θα μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί σε πληθώρα πειραμάτων. Με τον τρόπο αυτό, το προτεινόμενο πρόγραμμα της εργασίας συνεισφέρει στη μελέτη του εγκεφάλου. / -

SAKLETARHISTORISKA RIKSMUSEET / THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF SEARCHING FOR STUFF is Karolina Willebrand Vinnberg’s Independent Degree Project within the Master's Programme in Acting at Stockholm University of the Arts 2021-2023, examining and performing the Swedish children's book character Pippi Longstocking as if she were a museum artifact. With tools such as parody, intertextual analysis and immersive performance her hitherto (imagined) unknown inner life is excavated, dissected and exposed. This research also explores what happens in the encounter between actor and audience when performing and co-existing in an immersive museum space. The research process ended with a performative exhibition set in and produced in collaboration with The Swedish Museum of Performing Arts in Stockholm. This exhibition included seven scenographic installations and exhibit objects with associated audio guides, four video works and four immersive performances and an actress being present as the character of Pippi Longstocking throughout the days.

A inferência do curso temporal da atividade neural a partir do efeito BOLD é um importante problema, ainda em aberto. A forma da curva BOLD não reflete diretamente as características temporais da atividade eletrofisiológica dos neurônios. Nessa tese, é introduzido o conceito de tempo de processamento neural (TPN) como um dos parâmetros do modelo biofísico da função de resposta hemodinâmica (HRF). O objetivo da introdução desse conceito é obter estimativas mais acuradas da duração da atividade neural a partir do efeito BOLD, que possui auto grau de nãolinearidade. Duas formas de estimar os parâmetros do modelo do efeito BOLD foram desenvolvidas. A validade e aplicabilidade do conceito de TPN e das rotinas de estimação foram avaliadas por simulações computacionais e análise de séries temporais experimentais. Os resultados das simulações e da aplicação foram comparados com medidas da forma da HRF. O experimento analisado consistiu em um paradigma de tomada de decisão na presença de distratores emocionais. Esperase que o TPN em áreas sensoriais primárias seja equivalente ao tempo de apresentação de estímulos. Por outro lado, o TPN em áreas relacionadas com a tomada de decisão deve ser menor que a duração dos estímulos. Além disso, o TPN deve depender da condição experimental em áreas relacionadas ao controle de distratores emocionais. Como predito, o valores estimados do TPN no giro fusiforme foram equivalentes à duração dos estímulos e o TPN no giro do cíngulo dorsal variou com a presença de distrator emocional. Observou-se ainda lateralidade do TPN no córtex pré-frontal dorsolateral. As medidas da forma da HRF obtidas por um método convencional não dectectaram as variações observadas no TPN / The extraction of information about neural activity dynamics related to the BOLD signal is a challenging task. The temporal evolution of the BOLD signal does not directly reflect the temporal characteristics of electrical activity of neurons. In this work, we introduce the concept of neural processing time (NPT) as a parameter of the biophysical model of the hemodynamic response function (HRF). Through this new concept we aim to infer more accurately the duration of neuronal response from the highly nonlinear BOLD effect. We describe two routines to estimate the parameters of the HRF model. The face validity and applicability of the concept of NPT and the estimation procedures are evaluated through simulations and analysis of experimental time series. The results of both simulation and application were compared with summary measures of HRF shape. We analysed an experiment based on a decision-making paradigm with simultaneous emotional distracters. We hypothesize that the NPT in primary sensory areas is approximately the stimulus presentation duration. On the other hand, the NPT in brain areas related to decisionmaking processes should be less than the stimulus duration. Moreover, in areas related to processing of an emotional distracter, the NPT should depend on the experimental condition. As predicted, the NPT in fusiform gyrus is close to the stimulus duration and the NPT in dorsal anterior cingulate gyrus depends on the presence of an emotional distracter. Interestingly, the estimated NPTs in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex indicate functional laterality of this region. The analysis using standard measures of HRF did not detect the variations observed in our method (NPT)

The diploma thesis deals with the search for answering the question of people´s not saying goodbye to the deceased. The first chapter deals with the topic of dying and death in the past and compares it to the present situation. Another chapter emphasizes the significance of the ritual in human life, it deals with the early and current funeral rituals, their justified meaning from a psychological point of view. It also deals with the places of the last resting of our ancestors. The third chapter deals with the ethical aspect of this issue and, in particular, with the search for the answers, which are the cause of the current situation. The last chapter focuses on social work with survivors, deals with accompanying, mourning, and counseling help.

Die Arbeit untersucht die Gestaltung von Trauer in den zwischen 1945 und etwa 1960 veröffentlichten Gedichten von Günter Eich, Marie Luise Kaschnitz und Nelly Sachs. Dazu wird ein differenziertes, systematisch erarbeitetes Analyseinstrumentarium vorgestellt und angewandt, das den vielfältigen Möglichkeiten der Emotionsgestaltung in lyrischen Texten Rechnung trägt. Das methodische Vorgehen der Untersuchung ist insofern exemplarisch, als es hier zwar auf die Analyse von Trauerdarstellungen beschränkt wird, sich aber prinzipiell auch für die Untersuchung der literarischen Gestaltung anderer Emotionen anbietet. Gleichzeitig verspricht die eingehende Perspektive auf das Werk einzelner Autoren die Identifizierung auch solcher Mittel der Emotionsgestaltung, die eine weniger differenzierte, in die Breite gehende Analyse nicht hinreichend erfassen kann. Die Texte von Eich, Kaschnitz und Sachs werden zunächst in Einzelkapiteln detailliert untersucht. Den bereits bestehenden Forschungsarbeiten wird damit eine differenzierte und umfassende emotionsbezogene Perspektive auf formale und inhaltliche Aspekte des jeweiligen Werkes hinzugefügt. Am Schluss wird der Blick auf die deutsche Nachkriegslyrik insgesamt gerichtet und danach gefragt, inwiefern aus der Untersuchung des lyrischen Werkes der drei hier untersuchten Dichter weiterreichende allgemeine Einsichten im Hinblick auf die Gestaltung von Trauer in der deutschsprachigen Nachkriegslyrik gewonnen werden können.
