Recklessness and LightMcCord, Kyle, 1984- 08 1900 (has links)
This dissertation contains two parts: Part I, which discusses the methods and means by which poets achieve originality within ekphrastic works; and Part II, Recklessness and Light, a collection of poems. Poets who seek to write ekphrastically are faced with a particular challenge: they must credibly and substantially build on the pieces of art they are writing about. Poems that fail to achieve invention become mere translations. A successful ekphrastic poem must in some way achieve originality by using the techniques of the artist to credibly and substantially build on the art. The preface discusses three ekphrastic poems: W.H. Auden’s “Musée des Beaux Arts,” John Ashbery’s “Self-Portrait in Convex Mirror,” and Larry Levis’ “Caravaggio: Swirl and Vortex.” In order to invent, each of these poets connects time within the paintings to time within the poem. The poets turn to techniques such as imprinting of historical context, conflation, and stranging of perspective to connect their work with the paintings. I examine these methods of generating ekphrastic poems in order to evaluate how these poets have responded to one another and to consider emerging patterns of ekphrastic poetry in the twentieth century.

Rasism i USA genom två konstnärer och deras kritikers ögon : Hur Philip Guston och Henry Taylor uppmärksammar förtryck mot afroamerikaner och hur de har bemötts av kritiker och konstnärliga institutionerLindholm, Ziggy January 2023 (has links)
This essay investigates how Philip Guston and Henry Taylor explore the subject of African American oppression in their art and how they have been received by critics and art institutions. Using semiotics based on Hans Haydens article “Den omplacerade koden: Om Edgar Degas Interiör”, this essay explores how meaning is created in signs existing within the respective artists’ works. Readings of the artists´ own words has also assisted in the search for meaning and understanding of the paintings. Postcolonial perspectives were also applied for the means of interpreting the artworks in question, and the signs they contain. For this section Ania Loombas book Colonialism/postcolonialism as well as Åsa Bharathi Larsons doctorate thesis Colonizing Fever have been utilized. After the visual analysis the essay investigates how the artists have been received by critics and art institutions. In the case of Guston, a time difference is also accounted for, analyzing how his work was received when he first presented his paintings in the 70’s compared to today. Upon analyzing Guston’s work multiple signs were identified and interpreted. Most notably the hooded Klan member, whose representative purpose is multifaceted, communicative of subjects such as racism, guilt, and the concept of being evil. Visual codes regarding self-portraiture also pointed at one of the paintings as being a self-portrait. This theory is also supported by Guston’s own claim of the Klan paintings being pictures of himself. In Taylors work, signs present and discuss oppression of black people in America from a historical as well as a contemporary perspective, often referencing people and places personal to Taylor. In the 1970’s Philip Guston’s Klan paintings were heavily critiqued for their visual qualities and stylistic expression, while no notable comments were made of the content/subject matter. Today the situation is different, with the main critique of his works being directed to his use of Klan imagery. Many artists and writers today are in support of Gustons work though. Henry Taylor’s paintings are generally well received by critics and have seen a rise in popularity concurrent with the Black Lives Matter movement. Taylor has also recently been the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Modern Museum of Contemporary art in LA.

Mythes personnels et mythes pluriels dans l'oeuvre de Kimiko Yoshida : une esthétique de l'entre-deux, 1995-2012 / Personal myths and plural myths in Kimiko Yoshida's work of art : aesthetics of the in-between, 1995-2012Veillon, Charlène 25 February 2014 (has links)
L'œuvre principalement photographique de Kimiko Yoshida (née le 23 juin 1963 au Japon et installée en France depuis 1995) se fonde sur la création de « mythes» à travers ses autoportraits. Les « mythes du Photographe» à l'origine des « fonctions» de son œuvre - visant entre autres à « informer, représenter, surprendre, faire signifier, donner envie» selon Roland Barthes dans La chambre claire - trouvent leurs sources dans la société, la culture, l'époque auxquelles l'artiste appartient et par conséquent également dans ce qui touche à la singularité de la personnalité, du vécu, de l'histoire à l'échelle intime de celui-ci. De fait, le titre général de cette étude énonce une quête des « mythes personnels et pluriels dans l'œuvre de Kimiko Yoshida », dont le thème de « rentre-deux» constitue la posture esthétique majeure, l'artiste et son œuvre se trouvant entre Japon et Occident, entre figuration et abstraction, entre réalité et fiction, entre citation et transgression. Ce discours fictionnel par l'image et dans l'image subit différentes métamorphoses qui forment les quatre axes fondateurs de la thèse, à savoir l'entre-deux particulier du « personnage conceptuel» défini par Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari dans Qu'est-ce que la philosophie / appliqué à la « signature» Kimiko Yoshida : l'étude d'un entre-deux géographique et culturel définissant un « syncrétisme» artistique singulier: les illustrations des différentes dimensions spatio-temporelles perceptibles dans l ' œuvre de Kimiko Yoshida, notamment à travers les (enjeux des couleurs des images : et l'interrogation concernant la place du sujet à l'image, entre trace et absence. / The work of Kimiko Yoshida (born on June 23rd, 1963, in Japan and living in France since 1995), mainly based on photography, is founded on the creation of « myths ». This study is about searching, defining and analysing the « functions » of Kimiko Yoshida's self-portraits. The « myths of the Photographer », at the origins of her work's functions - aiming. amongst others, to « inform, represent, surprise, signify, create desire» according to Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida - are rooted in the society, the culture and the time the artist belongs to, and as a consequence also in the singularity of his/her personality, experience, and intimate story. Thus, the general title of this study brings forwards a research of « personal and plural myths in Kimiko Yoshida's work of art», whose topic of the « in-between » is the main aesthetic position, the artist and her work situated between Japan and the West between representation and abstraction, between reality and fiction, between quotation and transgression. The fictional speech through and in the image undergoes several transformations which make up the four founding lines of this thesis, that is to say the distinctive in-between of the « conceptual character » defined by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in Whut is Philosophy ) applied to Kirniko Yoshida's name : the study of a geographical and cultural in-between defining a singular artistic « syncretism » : the illustrations of the several perceptible space-time dimensions in Kimiko Yoshida's work, notably through the games/aims of the images' colours : and the questioning about the subject in the image, between trace and absence.

[Autor]retrato Coletivo, uma Poética da Autoria Aberta: Poética da Autoração, Poéticas em Coletividade e uma taxonomia para a Espect-Autoria - agenciamento autoral dos espectadores nas artes participativas e interativas. / Collective Authorself-Portrait, a Poetics of the Open Authorship: Authoring Poetics, Multi-Poetics in Collectivity and a taxonomy for the Spect-Authorship - authorial agency of the spectators in participatory and interactive arts.Silva, Arnaldo Valente Germano da 08 August 2012 (has links)
Esta tese de doutorado apresenta um estudo e formulações teóricas sobre o conceito de espect-autoria e defende os conceitos de Poética da Autoria Aberta, Poética da Autoração e Poéticas em Coletividade como praxis artística de apropriação dos dispositivos de produção das representações sociais, no contexto da autoria dos espectadores nas artes participativas e interativas. Numa transferência interdisciplinar de conceitos a exemplo do conceito espect-autor de Gellouz (2007), o estudo propõe as noções de autorabilidade, obra autorável, agenciamento autoral do espectador e trinômio produção/recepção/produção bem como os conceitos formulados de função-espect-autor, espect-autor em coletividade, particip-autor, inter-autor e trans-autor, que privilegiam a noção de autoria em suas notações, configurando uma taxonomia mais apropriada para compor um vocabulário que permita designar e compreender a noção de espect-autoria, ou seja, a produção autoral dos espectadores, enquanto forma, repertório e significados, nas obras cuja abertura poética propõe desafios autorais aos seus espectadores. A principal referência artística e fonte desta pesquisa é a série Autorretrato Coletivo (1987-), um conjunto de obras participativas e interativas que eu proponho como repositório dialógico e polifônico da identidade coletiva, tendo como princípio a apropriação dos espectadores enquanto autores de suas identidades no corpus da obra. Em suma, a função-autor exercida pelos espectadores, mais precisamente a sua função-espect-autor, em processos de criação/co-criação ou recriação (por recombinação e/ou repertoriação) no contexto das artes participativas e interativas, tem profundas implicações para nossa compreensão da evolução da arte como um fenômeno coletivo. / This thesis presents a study and theoretical formulations about the concept of spect-authorship on participatory and interactive artworks and defends the concepts of Poetics of the Open Authorship, Authoring Poetics and Multi-Poetics in Collectivity as artistic praxis of apropriation of the production devices of the social representations in the context of the spectators authorship in the participatory and interactive arts. Through an interdisciplinary transfer of concepts as Gellouz concept of spect-author (2007) , this study proposes the notions of authorability, authoriable artwork, authorial agency of the spectator, trinomial production/reception/production as well the concepts of function-espect-author, spect-author in collectivity, particip-author, inter-author and trans-author, which privilege the notion of authorship, setting a taxonomy more appropriate to compose a vocabulary that describes and increases the understanding of the concept of spect-authorship, the authorial production of the spectators as form, repertory and meanings, in the artworks whose poetic openness proposes authorial challenges to their spectators. The main artistic reference and source of this research is the series Collective Self-Portrait (1987-), a set of participatory and interactive artworks that I propose as a dialogic and polyphonic repository of the collective identity, based on the principle of appropriation of the spectators as authors of their own identities in the corpus of the artwork. Summing up, the author-function experienced by the spectators, more precisely their spect-author-function, in creation/co-creation or recreation process in the context of participatory and interactive arts, holds profound implications for our understanding of art evolution as a collective phenomenon.

Whirling Stories : Postsocialist Feminist Imaginaries and the Visual Arts / Virvlande berättelser : Postsocialistiska feministiska föreställningar och bildkonstKoobak, Redi January 2013 (has links)
This thesis is about the geopolitics of feminist knowledge and the role of the visual arts in conceiving and reconfiguring postsocialist feminist imaginaries. Its central concern is to contest the fantasy, prevalent within Western feminist theorizing, of a “lag” between Western and former Eastern Europe. The thesis explores these imaginaries on a micro scale, zooming in on the deeply personal and political artwork of a contemporary feminist and lesbian-identified Estonian artist, Anna-Stina Treumund. This partial and limited focus on Treumund’s photographic self-portraiture enables us to look into the intensities and specificities of individual experience in postsocialist space. Throughout, the thesis evokes a whirling subject as a feminist figuration. This is simultaneously a reference to the embodied and the relational structure of knowledge-systems and world-making. Drawing on postsocialist, postcolonial, queer and feminist visual culture studies, the author argues that Treumund’s art is always already embedded in the local context, as it builds on and problematizes the existing discussions of feminist generations, theorizing, activism and art practices. Combining close readings of Treumund’s artworks with contemporary theoretical debates in feminist studies, encounters with the artist and autobiographical narratives, this thesis asserts: there is no “lag”. More importantly, it is of utmost ethical and political importance to pay closer attention to geopolitical locatedness as an axis of difference that matters in contemporary feminist theorizing. / Den här doktorsavhandlingen handlar om geopolitik i feministisk kunskap och bildkonstens roll i förståelse och omskapande av postsocialistiska feministiska föreställningar. Dess huvudsakliga fokus handlar om att bestrida den i västerländsk feministisk teori ofta förekommande fantasin om att före detta Östeuropa på olika sätt ”släpar efter” i relation till väst. Doktorsavhandlingen utforskar dessa föreställningar på mikronivå då den zoomar in på det djupt personliga och politiska bildkonstarbete utfört av den samtida feministiska och självidentifierat lesbiska estniska konstnärinnan Anna-Stina Treumund. Avhandlingens partiella fokus på Treumunds fotografier i form av självporträtt möjliggör för oss att få inblick i de intensiteter och specifika förhållanden som utgör en individuell erfarenhet av att befinna sig i det postsocialistiska rummet. Genomgående i doktorsavhandlingen används det virvlande subjektet som feministisk figuration. Figurationen innebär simultant en referens till den förkroppsligade och den relationella aspekten av kunskapssystem och skapande av världen. Med utgångspunkt i postsocialistiska, postkoloniala, queera och feministiska studier av visuell kultur argumenterar författaren att Treumunds bildkonst alltid redan är inbäddad i en lokal kontext, detta sedan den växer fram ur och problematiserar de diskussioner som pågår mellan feministiska generationer, i teori, aktivism och bland konstutövare. Genom att kombinera närläsning av Treumunds konstnärliga arbete med samtida teoretisk debatt inom feministiska studier, med möten med konstnärinnan, och med självbiografiska berättelser, försäkrar denna avhandling: det finns ingen “eftersläpning”. Än mer väsentligt är att betona att det är av yttersta etisk och politisk vikt att ägna mer uppmärksamhet åt geopolitiska lokaliseringar som skillnadsskapande faktor i samtida feministisk teoribildning.

Selbstverständnis der ostdeutschen Frau in der Brüderbewegung in Mission und Gesellschaft / The self-conception of the East-German woman in the Brethren Movement in mission and society06 1900 (has links)
This empirical and theological research investigates the self-conception of the east-german
women in the Brethren Movement, in order to discover by which role model they predominantly
orientated themselves. Therefore women were interviewed, who are – on one hand – socialised
in the Brethren Movement, and on the other hand have partly realized the GDR role model
through working in a typically male business and/or in a leading position. It was possible to describe
in that study three contrasting typologies. On that foundation, thesis and conclusions were
drawn for the development of identity and the operation of the church.
This project wants to make a contribution to the investigation of the –almost untouched academically
– field of the women in the Brethren Movement. At the same time it should serve as an
historical example in how the church dealt with changing role models. / In dieser Forschungsarbeit wird das Selbstverständnis der ostdeutschen Frauen in der Brüderbewegung
empirisch-theologisch untersucht, um herauszufinden, an welchem der beiden divergierenden
Rollenbilder (DDR-Gesellschaft oder Brüderbewegung) sich diese Frauen stärker orientieren.
Dazu wurden Frauen interviewt, die einerseits in der Brüderbewegung sozialisiert sind, und
andererseits durch ihre Berufstätigkeit in einem männertypischen Beruf und/oder in Leitungspositionen
das DDR-Rollenbild teilweise umgesetzt haben. Im Verlauf dieser Studie ließen sich drei
kontrastierende Typologien von Selbstbildern erkennen. Auf dieser Grundlage wurden Schlussfolgerungen
und Thesen über die Identitätsfindung der Frauen und ihre gelebte Gemeindepraxis
gezogen.
Mit der Betrachtung der Frauen in den Brüdergemeinden will diese qualitative Studie einen
Beitrag dazu leisten, neue Erkenntnisse aus einem wissenschaftlich bisher kaum erforschten Gebiet
zu gewinnen. Gleichzeitig soll die vorliegende Studie anhand dieses historischen Beispiels den
Umgang einer Gemeinde mit sich verändernden Rollenbildern zeigen. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / M. Th. (Missiology)
