11	A "Sensuous" Approach to the Cinema of Nuri Bilge Ceylan : Principles of Embodied Film Experience Aydin, Ali January 2018 (has links) Over the last decades, film theories with their focus on the mere audiovisual quality of cinema have been questioned by film scholars with a phenomenological interest. According to these critical approaches, the film experience cannot be understood through a mere involvement of the eye (and the ear). In this context, to disregard the significance of a multisensory attachment to the film results in the consideration of relationship between the film and the viewer to be a dominating one. This dissertation examines this multisensory attachment and aims to define the film experience as an embodied relationship between the film and the viewer by means of a formal analysis of the Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan’s early films. Throughout the dissertation, it is argued that Ceylan encourages his viewer in various forms to have a more sensual and immediate experience of his films rather than to compel them to adhere to symbols and abstractions through a kind of intellectual effort – an intellectual effort that would damage the “sensuous” attachment between the film and the viewer.

12	Espaces de retour : dynamiques spatiales, mémorielles et identitaires dans Le premier jardin d’Anne Hébert et Surfacing de Margaret Atwood Vincent, Stéphanie 12 1900 (has links) Mémoire réalisé grâce à l'appui du Conseil de recherche en sciences humaines. / Ce mémoire porte sur les interrelations entre les dynamiques spatiale, mémorielle et identitaire dans Le premier jardin d’Anne Hébert et Surfacing de Margaret Atwood. Ainsi, on cherche à savoir comment les concepts d’espace et de lieu permettent de mieux comprendre les dynamiques mémorielles et identitaires en jeu dans les récits de retour. En s’appuyant sur une expérience commune, celle du retour au pays natal, nous étudierons comment les difficultés qu’éprouvent les personnages à se remémorer, à se situer, à habiter ou tout simplement à être sont liées à leur relation conflictuelle à l’espace. Même si elles sont tentées par l’oubli, le retour aux lieux de l’enfance impose aux protagonistes une mémoire sensorielle. Le retour montre également comment les êtres sont liés au lieu, voire façonnés par lui, et comment ils peuvent cependant agir en retour sur lui. Le désir d’exister à travers une identité cohérente en est aussi un d’habiter et d’appartenir à l’espace. Finalement, nous verrons comment il est possible de repenser l’espace du retour à partir de la notion de non-lieu d’Alexis Nouss. / This work examines the interrelations between space, memory and identity in Le premier jardin by Anne Hébert and Surfacing by Margaret Atwood. We seek to know how the concepts of space and place can provide a better understanding of the memory and identity dynamics involved in return narratives. Based on a common experience, that of returning to homeland, we will study how the characters’ difficulties in recalling, situating, living or simply being are linked to their conflictual relationship to space. Even if they are tempted by oblivion, the return to the places of childhood imposes on the protagonists a sensuous memory. The return also shows how beings are linked to place, even shaped by it, and how they can however act on it. The desire to exist through a coherent identity is also one of dwelling and belonging to space. Finally, we will see how Alexis Nouss’ concept of non-place of makes it possible to rethink the space of return. littérature comparée Anne Hébert Margaret Atwood théories de l’espace lieu temporalité paysage sensoriel mémoire identité non-lieu comparative literature theories of space place temporality sensuous landscapes memory identity non-place

Borecký, The Role of Imagination in Aesthetic Experience in Mikel Dufrenne's Thought The aim of this dissertation thesis is to present Dufrenne's original conception of imagination and to highlight its significance for philosophical aesthetics. We focus on a critical interpretation of two alternative approaches which Dufrenne considers in his work. The first approach is based on a noetic perspective, the other on an ontological one. In both cases, Dufrenne claims that imagination is a productive, effecting activity which in a formative manner participates in knowledge of a priori truths regarding human being in the world. Such knowledge is most fully accomplished in the aesthetic experience. Only there a man opens oneself to the external world while maintaining with it a relation of primordial corporeity, which they both - i.e., both humans and the world - share. Imagination and its correlate, the imaginary, in an aesthetic experience stimulate each other and enable a reverberation of the most fundamental possibilities of human being in the world. It is imagination and the imaginary which enable a man to penetrate the superficial empirical level and reach the deep level of the a priori. On the level of the a priori, a man can experience the original corporeal unity which is of the same kind...
14	Expressing Temporality In Graphical User Interface Olcay, Taner January 2020 (has links) Temporality has been given attention in HCI research, with scholars arguing that temporal aspects in function-oriented graphical user interface are overlooked. However, these works have not adequately addressed practical approaches to manifest time in the design of such. This paper presents an approach for implementing temporal metaphors in the design of graphical user interface. In this design research, I materialize temporal metaphors into material qualities, in order to manifest time into the design of graphical user interface and shape the experiences of such designs. I argue that the design of temporal metaphors may express traces of time in graphical user interface differently from contemporary designs. I discuss implications and significance of unfolding experience over time. In conclusion, this design research, by articulating the experiences of its design works, sheds new light on the meanings of expressing temporal metaphors in the design of graphical user interface. interaction temporality graphical user interface gui hci material temporal metaphor experimentation research design auto-critique realism reductionism temporalism organic inorganic material thinking anatomical time continuous traces of time contemporary experience qualities function-oriented aesthetics experiential sensuous experience-oriented long-term materiality experiment criticism materialism natural living time realistic features temporal process Social Sciences Samhällsvetenskap
15	Interpreting the Sacred in <em>As You Like It</em>: Reading the "Book of Nature" from a Christian, Ecocritical Perspective Wendt, Candice Dee 17 July 2009 (has links) (PDF) Since the advent of the environmental crisis, some writers have raised concerns with the moral influence of Christian scripture and interpretive traditions, such as the medieval book of nature, a hermeneutic in which nature and scripture are "read" in reference to one another. Scripture, they argue, has tended to stifle sacred relationships with nature as a non-human other. This thesis argues that such perspectives are reductive of the sacred quality of scripture. Environmental perspectives should be concerned with the desacralization of religious texts in addition to nature. Chapter one suggests that two questions surrounding the medieval book of nature's history can help us address ways that such perspectives reduce religious interpretation of sacred texts. The first question is the tension between manifestation and proclamation, or the question of how scripture and nature reveal sacred meanings. The second is the problem of evil, or the question of where evil and suffering come from. It also proposes that Shakespeare's As You Like It and religious philosophy, particularly Paul Ricoeur's writings, can help us address these problems and provide a contemporary religious perspective of the "book of nature." Drawing on scenes in the play in which nature is "read" as a book and Ricoeur's essay on "Manifestation and Proclamation," chapter two argues how manifestation often works interdependently with proclamation. Chapter three discusses how anthropocentric worldviews in which natural entities are exploited also distort interpretive relationships with scripture. Overcoming desacralization requires giving up desires to suppress contingencies, particularly suffering, in nature and in interpreting religious texts. Only as the characters in As You Like It accept contingencies are they able to engage hidden sources of hope, which is comparable to the need to let go of mastery in interpretation Ricoeur describes. Chapter four discusses problems with attempts to uncover the origins of the environmental crisis by discussing what Ricoeur writes about the problems with theodicy and Jean-Luc Marion's phenomenology of evil. Assumptions that specific human origins for evil can be blamed confirm deceptively human-centered worldviews and can mask valuable messages about how to morally respond to suffering that are taught in Judeo-Christian narratives.
