The artist's role as collector of memory and selfThomas, Lee Ann 11 1900 (has links)
Artworks that use found or appropriated images and objects
often function as collections. These collections simulate the
everyday collections of mementos and souvenirs that come to
represent aspects of an individual's personality and past. The
collections of objects mirror the individual's collection of memories
that help to define himself and provide a means of communication
with others. The artist as collector takes on roles similar to that of
storyteller and anthropologist, providing a narrative of conscious
preservation. Through various devices of display and denial a
curiosity cabinet I Wunderkammer representing and simulating a
Self is created and the role of collector is passed on to the viewer. / Art History, Visual Arts and Musicology / Thesis (M.A. (Art History))

Van moi tot je : die verband tussen die ontwikkeling van die subjek en die kunsmaakprosesRoux, Susan Elizabeth 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (VA)(Visual Arts))--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / The purpose of this study was to develop an academic approach towards my
own work. The main objective was to determine my position as the subject in
the art-making process and, in doing so, to find a way in which to discuss my
own work more readily. My underlying assumption was that identity is formed
through a visual rather than a verbal process. I realised however that language
played an important role, especially since the metonymic and metaphoric
characteristics of my art flow from language. The study therefore focuses on
the forming of identity, on the road to self-identity, but takes this factor into
consideration.
Lacan’s theory on the mirror phase offered me the opportunity to investigate the
inseparable relationship between subjectivity and visuality. His work on the
intrinsic interaction between image and language, the conscious and the
unconscious, being human as a “lack of being” and the endeavour towards
completion in a broken world, culminates in the construction that language
originates from the moment at which the conscious makes an appearance at
the end of the mirror phase and that the unconscious is structured like a
language.
For Lacan the subject is not mono-dimensional, but occupies two positions, one
in the imaginary, known as the moi, and the other in the symbolic, known as the
je. Based on this view, Lacan demonstrates that the symbols artists use should
not only be understood as icons, but should be seen as signifiers in which the
subject comes to the fore.
What I have drawn from the theoretical part of my research is the fact that the
composition of factors that determine the meeting of subjects in the viewing
process are extremely complex. The core of the gaze is however that the
gazing subject always experiences something of itself in the gaze. This insight
not only helped me to describe some of the work of my favourite artists better,
but to identify myself in my work.
The experience of unravelling and restructuring my thoughts in the writing
process was most liberating.

Shaken and Stirred: Tactile Imagery and Narrative Immediacy in J. D. Salinger's "Blue Melody," "A Girl I Knew," and "Just Before the War with the Eskimos"Bega-Hart, Angelica 19 August 2011 (has links)
J.D. Salinger’s ‘A Girl I Knew,’ ‘Just Before the War with the Eskimos,’ and ‘Blue Melody,’ contain key thematic and narratological elements that contribute to the development of character through repeated reference to tactile imagery and through each character’s reaction to the sensations associated with tactile images. Salinger’s descriptions of tactile interaction allow readers to see his characters connected in ways that were increasingly difficult in the 1950’s, where widespread cultural changes contributed to increasing physical and emotional distancing. Critics have argued that “vision” is at the heart of many of Salinger’s characters’ struggles, since they “seek” a level of human connectedness not found in other narratives. However, Salinger's stories do not provide a mere record of observed physical characteristics as some claim; instead, they present concrete physical details that take both the character and the reader beyond sight to touch, in an effort to create the intimate space necessary for redemption. Using theoretical work by critics who focus on tactile imagery pinpoints how Salinger’s characters situate themselves in relation to the world around them and how setting and other narrative mechanics influence character. Salinger’s attention to tactile imagery influences character in a profound way creating a “narrative of immediacy” where closeness is further reinforced through tactile physical descriptions, attention to gesture, and use of conversational popular vernacular.

Det alla vet men ingen ser : Hur kan teori formuleras för att synliggöra kopplingen mellan unga kvinnors psykiska ohälsa och fotografiskt material på Instagram?Björndotter, Annika January 2022 (has links)
The thesis analyzes how a theoretical framework and method can be formulated to make mental illness visible in photographs posted on social media. The aim is to create a basis for further research. The framework is built on time, conversation, and language. Based on Susan Sontag, Roland Barthes and W J T Mitchells thoughts, a timeline is drawn. On it, both emotions and bodies are constantly present. Jon Kabat-Zinns mindfulness method is used to give an insight into how emotions can be handled with inspiration from eastern meditation techniques. The typical “yoga image” is analyzed. It is characterized by a woman doing a yoga pose, often placed in the middle of the image surface in an exotic place. The body ideal is recognized from other fitness contexts. The material is from @kinoyoga which is run by the yoga profile Kino MacGregor. Examining photographs that communicate perfect health puts this thesis questions at the forefront. The study shows that photographs on social media are not static objects but are parts in an ongoing documentation where meaning is not given. Instead meaning keeps transforming and is contently renegotiated. When the boundaries between the physical and digital realities are blurred, it becomes difficult to distinguish the needs of the image from one’s own. The emotional experiences of shortcomings and desires can occur and start to interact. As Instagram's algorithms exploit these emotions, it becomes difficult to break the vicious circle. Instagram users are forced to abide by the app's rules. The responsibility for the ill health generated should be the owners of for-profit companies and political institutions with the power to legislate.

The Bee & the Crown : The Road to Ascension in the Poetry of Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath / Biet och kronan : Vägen till upphöjning i Emily Dickinsons och Sylvia Plaths poesiEva, Stenskär January 2021 (has links)
Though born a century apart, American poets Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath share several similarities: Both were born in New England, both fought for their rights by writing, and both broke new poetic ground. In this thesis, I look at their poetry through a movement in space, which begins with the poets’ precarious position as societal outliers and ends with ascension. I examine what crossing the threshold meant to them, physically and metaphorically, and how it is mirrored in their poems, I look at how the physical space in which they wrote color their poetry, I examine windows as a space of transit, and finally I take a closer look at the shape ascension takes in selected poems. I propose this road, this movement in space, is mirrored in both Dickinson’s and Plath’s poetry. I use as my method deconstruction, to uncover hints and possibilities. I scan letters and journals, biographies and memoirs. As my theoretical framework, I use Walter Benjamin’s ideas about the threshold as a place of transit, as well as his thoughts about the flaneur as the observer of the crowd, both of which are presented in The Arcades Project. To further examine the threshold as a space for pause, reconsideration, retreat, or advance, I rely on Subha Mukheriji and her book Thinking on Thresholds: The Poetics of Transitive Spaces. I further use Gaston Bachelard’s seminal The Poetics of Spaceto investigate the poets’ response to the physical space in which they wrote. I look at ascension through the prism offered by the ideas of Mircea Eliade as presented in Myths, Dreams, and Mysteries: The Encounter Between Contemporary Faiths and Archaic Realities.
