Its result is presented in the first part of the work and reveals the fictional and artistic self refered approach the author gave to the process as a narration of the research's paths, which are shown in the second part of the work. In a dialogue between times and spaces, it was necessary to build up environments for that artistic production. They can be hypermedia spaces (virtual space mainly on internet, such as blogs and social nets) as well as regular spaces (real environment such as the one selected, which is a hotel room) here named as the artist cabin. The artist family album is considered the starting point for a gathering and selection of the artist s father pictures, together with some personal objects of his. Those objects make up the data that will be related to other artist images produced in different times and spaces aiming at a new fictional and self-referenced creation. This way the artistic creation is developed building up new materials making use of specific elements of visual languages presented in the compositions through similar and contrastive approaches. From this action it can be identified the passage experience as much as the existence. In this study, both the artist and her father s existences are revealed in a expressive-reflected dimension embodied in an interdisciplinary doctoral these as a contemporary artistic production. / A tese aqui desenvolvida apresenta a instalação/ocupação PRESENTEAUSENTE, registrada por meio de um ensaio fotográfico realizado pela artista e que ocupa a Parte 1, e ainda, revela o modo de produção artística de criação ficcional e autorreferente apresentado na Parte 2, como um texto de revelação que evidencia os caminhos da pesquisa. Com a intenção de inserir tal produção artística na contemporaneidade, numa abordagem que reconhece a memória, a saudade, a vida do(a) artista e sua intimidade como temáticas frequentes da atualidade, assim como a apropriação por citacionismo, de imagens referenciais de artistas selecionados, desenvolve os argumentos produzindo novas imagens. Num diálogo tensional entre tempos e espacialidades, fez-se necessário constituir os ambientes para essa produção artística. Sejam eles espaços hipermidiáticos (ambiente virtual, principalmente na internet, em blogs e redes sociais) ou espaços de contenção (ambiente real, como é o caso de quarto do hotel, aqui selecionado), chamado de cabine do artista. O álbum de família da artista passa a ser o ponto de partida. Reunir e selecionar as fotografias do pai da artista, assim como alguns objetos pessoais dele constituindo o painel autorreferente e relacionar tais imagens com as do painel de referências, composto por imagens produzidas em diferentes tempos e lugares por artistas diversos, tendo por objetivo uma nova criação ficcional e autorreferente, aproximando-as por semelhança ou contraste, fazendo uso de determinados elementos da linguagem visual presentes nas composições, elegendo novas materialidades, desencadeia-se o percurso de criação artística. Desta ação identifica-se a experiência de passagem, assim como a existência. No caso, a existência da artista e do seu pai, revelada em dimensão expressivo-reflexiva em forma de tese doutoral vocacionalmente interdisciplinar, nessa produção artística contemporânea.

Undersökningens syfte är att redogöra för interaktionen på fyra svenska soloartister och sångares Instagramkonton, där fokus legat på att kartlägga interaktionen mellan musikartister och fans, samt fans emellan, för att sedan beskriva vilka mönster som förekommer i interaktionen vid en jämförelse mellan alla fyra konton. Målet med den kvalitativa undersökningen har varit att nå en övergripande förståelse för interaktionen, och undersökningen har därför genomförts med en induktiv forskningsansats, för att få en bred förståelse för materialet. Undersökningens empiri består av 240 publiceringar, hämtade från fyra olika Instagramkonton. Resultatet av den empiriska undersökningen visar på att interaktionen mellan artist och fans ofta är ensidig samt styrs av artisten, fans ger respons direkt kopplat till det som publiceras på artisternas konton och de får sällan svar på det de skriver till artisterna. Fansen får en varierande inblick i vilka artisterna är privat och vad de gör på sin fritid, och fansens engagemang är också som störst vid publiceringar som på detta sätt är kopplade till artisternas privatliv. Fansen kan sägas ha en bred kännedom om musikartisten som de är intresserade av, medan det står oklart huruvida musikartisten har kännedom om vilka deras fans är. Den interaktion som förekommer mellan fansen handlar närmast uteslutande om att de tipsar varandra om sådant som har publicerats på artisternas konton, utöver detta förekommer sällan någon annan form av interaktion fansen emellan.

The Process Critique articulated by Cecilia Salles, based on Charles Sanders Peirce s semiotics, acts as theoretical device in guiding the organization of possible artistic references to the object of study, the creation of a brief survey of the production of artist s book in Brazil, the process of interview-dialogue with artists, and the elaboration of the eleven fields of operation in the creation of the artist s book. The object of study is discussed as signifying process (semiosis), i.e., as a continuous, unfinished, non-linear, inferential process, one that is open to chance e to the introduction of new ideas to be tested and transformed (or not) in possibilities of works of art and whose trajectory is maked by communicative questions throughout. The methodology consists of theoretical revision and interviews with artists about the creation of their work, which served as a major source of information in the deeper understanding of the various deployments in the creation of an artist s book. The contexts in the creation of the works are also discussed, including the inter-relations between certain works, the media, the references, the transformations of the raw material, the creative tendencies, the artist s perception of space, time, and memory, the forms of appropriation, and the use of language. The research aims at establishing possibilities to reposition rigid conceptualizations of the artist s book, and open new ways in which to understand its complex networks of creation, where multiple forms of language flow and interact / A presente Dissertação de Mestrado aborda os aspectos comunicacionais, plásticos e simbólicos dos processos de construção do livro de artista, considerado como uma manifestação artística híbrida e com dificuldades de conceituação, tendo como relevância buscar atenuar a grave lacuna que existe sobre os estudos a respeito desse objeto e a sua ausência no debate contemporâneo. A Crítica de Processo proposta por Cecilia Salles, com base na Semiótica de Charles Sanders Peirce, serviu como estratégia teórica para orientar a organização de possíveis referências artísticas do objeto de estudo, envolvendo obras e artistas que utilizaram o ambiente do livro códex e um levantamento bibliográfico; para elaborar um breve panorama da produção de livro de artista, no Brasil; para conduzir as entrevistas-conversas com os artistas pesquisados e a reativação de suas redes de criação; e para elaborar onze campos de procedimentos de criação do livro de artista. O objeto de estudo foi discutido como um processo sígnico (semiose), ou seja, como um movimento contínuo, falível, inacabado, não-linear, inferencial, com tendência, que admite o acaso e a introdução de novas idéias a serem testadas e transformadas (ou não) em possibilidades de obras e que é fortemente marcado em toda a sua trajetória por questões comunicativas. A metodologia consistiu de pesquisa bibliográfica e entrevistas com os artistas sobre as tramas de criação das obras, que serviram como uma das principais fontes de informação para o entendimento mais profundo sobre os procedimentos de criação do livro de artista. Foram discutidos os contextos de construção das obras, envolvendo as inter-relações com as demais obras do artista, com os suportes utilizados, as referências, as transformações da matéria-prima, as tendências criativas, as percepções do artista sobre espaço, tempo e memória, as formas de apropriação e o uso de linguagens. Com isso, a pesquisa tentou estabelecer possibilidades para reposicionar as rígidas propostas de conceituação do livro de artista e abrir caminhos para entender sua complexa rede de criação, na qual fluem e interagem múltiplas linguagens e que sustenta a personalidade do livro de artista

<p>This study examines the nature and possible causes of the changes in the art and artistry of Abdul Rahim Ghafori, an Afghan artist who has migrated to Sweden. The premise of this paper is that over time a person who migrates to another culture will undergo change. In an artist this change should manifest itself in his art and artistry. The study examines this process of change and how it is manifested in the artistry and art of Abdul Rahim Ghafori. The study intends to increase knowledge and understanding of the changes a person undergoes when experiencing a culture change.</p> / <p>Studien är en detaljerad fallstudie vilken ingående belyser ett konstnärskap och utförligt diskuterar ett antal av konstnärens verk. Studien undersöker vilka förändringar i konst och konstnärskapberoende på kulturbyte som kan skönjas hos den afghanske men till Sverige invandrade konstnären Abdul Rahim Ghafori. Att det över tid sker en förändring hos en person som invandrat till en annan kultur är ett utgångsantagande för studien. Hos en konstnär bör denna förändring visa sig i konst och konstnärskap. I studien undersöks vad som händer och hur detta visar sig i Ghaforis konstnärskap och konst samt vilka möjliga orsaker dessa förändringar har. Studien avser att utöka kunskapen om och förståelsen för de förändringar en människa går igenom när han eller hon byter kultur. </p>

Margaret Sweatmans novel, <i>When Alice Lay Down With Peter</i>, plays with the British Empires adventure story and its creation of manhood. Mimicking this creative process in the Canadian Northwest, Sweatman conceives and births a womans previously erased passion back into the adventure story in a playful, erotic, and politically-charged presentation of the performing female body. Although appreciating the magic realism element to the novel (157), Nicole Markotic suggests that Sweatmans characters, like the readers, become History Tourists and are mere backdrop for the last century or so of Current Events that take precedence over their stories (156). The McCormack women, Markotic argues, have few stories other than going to war, having one momentous sex scene, giving birth (156). Indeed, Sweatmans whirlwind tour through 109 years of well-documented, and already too many times rehashed, rebellions, labour strikes, and world wars, seems to reflect this sentiment, but to limit Sweatman and her characters to only the Empires gender performative is to miss the female body performing as its own Big Bang.<p>Since a womans contingency and agency within the Empires gender performative has been vigorously debated by post modern and cultural theorists, Sweatman chooses to birth her characters into a world of/as performance. Richard Schechner, a pioneer in the field of performance theory, argues in his earlier work, Essays on Performance Theory (1977), that performance is a very inclusive notion of action, in which the performance workshop and the performance strategy of play are much more important than previously imagined (1,61). Sweatman draws on this discovery in order to free her characters to explore passion beyond Imperial and textual constraints. Four generations of McCormack women mimic, mock, and sidewind their way into, around, and beyond the Empires warring narrative and its heterosexual imperative. They are savvy, sexy, and provocative, playing simultaneously as shameless voyeurs, plagiarists, and war artists.

This thesis is a narrative case study that examined the studio art practice of Lead Pencil Studio, a Seattle-based artist collaborative that explore our spatial relationships with architecture through site-specific installations. The case study specifically focused on the work of Daniel Mihalyo and Annie Han (Lead Pencil Studio) while they were at the Visual Arts Center in The University of Texas at Austin for a spring 2013 artist-in-residence program. The research focused specifically on the artists’ day-to-day process, examining the thoughts and actions that went into creating their work, Diffuse Reflection Lab, a two-story plywood structure that examined reflection’s effect on architecture through various vignettes. Through concentrated observations of the Lead Pencil Studio’s work and three semi-structured interviews, this thesis examined how traditional research practices are integrated into the studio art process. By examining the art/research relationship the author also situates this work in the field of practice-based research. While this work specifically focused on the research conducted by a pair of professional artists, it also extends to a broader argument about the role of research in art lessons. Since this thesis is based in art education, it connects the themes observed in the artists’ studio practice to interdisciplinary learning and arts integration. The author ultimately argues that Lead Pencil Studio’s art/research practice can be used in the classroom as an example of transdisciplinary learning and that it models a rigorous approach to creativity within other disciplines. / text

Depuis 1981, les jeunes du primaire et secondaire sont sensibilisés à la danse par des enseignants qui l’offrent au sein du curriculum de la formation générale des jeunes. Les enseignants de la danse en milieu scolaire (EDMS) du Québec, bénéficient d’une formation universitaire à la fois disciplinaire, pédagogique et pratique qui développe leurs compétences tant artistiques que professionnelles. Au sein de cette formation initiale, commence le développement de l’identité professionnelle de l’enseignant (Lessard et Tardif, 2003) qui continue à se développer durant toute la carrière. Toutefois, la construction identitaire de l’EDMS n’a pas fait l’objet d’une étude approfondie car l’enseignement de la danse en milieu scolaire est une profession relativement nouvelle, non-traditionnelle et méconnue. Ainsi, dans le cadre d’une approche sociologique constructiviste, nous nous penchons sur les tensions et stratégies identitaires inhérentes aux trajectoires biographiques et aux représentations professionnelles de praticiens dans le but de mieux connaître qui ils sont. Nous cherchons à comprendre le sens qu’ils donnent, dans leur construction identitaire, à leur parcours de formation, à leur travail, à leurs relations dans le travail, aux savoirs, et aux institutions en élaborant les rapports qu’ils entretiennent avec autrui ainsi que la perception de leurs rôles, statuts et fonctions artistiques et éducatifs. Un cadre conceptuel nous a permis de faire un portrait sociologique des sphères de négociations identitaires inhérentes à la construction de l’identité professionnelle grâce à l’analyse de la double transaction biographique et relationnelle, un concept de Dubar (1991). Les données de cette étude, recueillies auprès de dix-huit EDMS, proviennent d’un questionnaire sociodémographique ainsi que d’un questionnaire et d’entretiens sur leurs représentations professionnelles, leurs héritages et sur les incidents critiques de leurs trajectoires biographiques. L’analyse inductive des données par l’approche de théorisation ancrée, vérifiée par quinze participantes, a permis de dégager six sphères internes et externes de négociations identitaires communes à la construction de l’identité professionnelle d’EDMS : Devenir, Se réaliser, Se projeter, Faire sa place, Rencontrer l’autre et Agir. Ces sphères se présentent comme des espaces d’identification dans lesquelles l’EDMS construit son identité professionnelle en se positionnant par rapport aux identités héritées, acquises, prescrites, réelles et projetées. Cependant, les écarts entre les logiques opposées, les postures complémentaires et les rôles à jouer pour soi et pour autrui dans la pratique peuvent engendrer des tensions identitaires intrasubjectives et intersubjectives que nous avons identifiées. Pour réduire les écarts entre les représentations polaires et pour apaiser les zones d’incertitudes identitaires, l’EDMS mobilise des stratégies temporelles et spatiales. Neuf ont été relevées: conversion, conciliation, différenciation, implication multiple, maintien identitaire, défense, promotion, alternance des rôles et formation continue. Cette étude expose des façons d’EDMS de se définir pour soi et pour autrui qui permettent d’accéder aux référents identitaires des sphères par des exemples concrets issus des verbalisations de participantes sur le terrain. L’interprétation de nos résultats nous conduit à décrire six profils identitaires provisoires. Nos résultats offrent des retombées possibles en formation initiale et continue. / Since 1981, primary and secondary school students have been sensitized to dance education by dance teachers who offer the discipline within the curriculum. The dance teachers in the school environment (DTSE) of Quebec benefit from a university formation which is at once disciplinary, pedagogical and practical and which develops their artistic as well as professional competencies. It is within this initial formation that the development of the professional identity of the teacher begins (Lessard et Tardif, 2003) and continues to develop throughout their entire career. Nevertheless, the identity construction of the DTSE has not been made the subject of a thorough study, since the teaching of dance in the school environment is a relatively new, non-traditional and unfamiliar profession. Thus, within the framework of a sociological constructivist approach, we study the tensions and identity strategies inherent in the biographical trajectories as well as in the professional representations of the DTSE with the aim of knowing better who they are. We seek to understand the meaning which they give, in their identity construction, to their formative path, to their work, to their relations in work, to knowledge, and to institutions by elaborating the relations maintained with others, and their perceptions of their artistic and educational roles, status and functions. A conceptual framework enabled us to make a sociological portrait of the spheres of identity negotiations inherent in the construction of their professional identity thanks to the analysis of the double biographical and relational transaction, a concept of Dubar (1991). The data collected from eighteen DTSE was generated from a socio-demographic questionnaire as well as from a questionnaire and interviews on their professional representations, their backgrounds and on the turning points of their biographical trajectories. The inductive analysis of the data, using the grounded theory approach, was verified by fifteen participants, and reveals six internal and external spheres of identity negotiation common to the identity construction of the DTSE: To become, To achieve, To project oneself, To make one’s place, To encounter the other and To act. These spheres represent identification fields within which the identity construction process of the DTSE develops in relation to the various identities inherited, acquired, prescribed, real, and projected. However the intervals between the opposing logics, the complementary postures and the roles to be played in practice for oneself and for others could provoke intrasubjective and intersubjective identity tensions which we have identified. In order to reduce the intervals between the polar representations and to alleviate the zones of identity uncertainties, the DTSE employs certain temporal and spatial strategies. We have identified nine such strategies: Conversion, conciliation, differentiation, multiple implication, identity preservation, defence, promotion, alternation of roles, and continuing education. This study exposes DTSE manners of defining oneself for oneself and for others which give access to the identity referents of the various spheres by concrete examples resulting from the verbalisations of participants in the field. Our interpretation of the results conducts us to describe six provisional identity profiles. Our results offer possible consequences in initial and continuing formation.

Many accounts of Max Weber’s thought would seek to portray him as a theorist of responsibility or “re-enchantment” – as one who can confirm for us the appropriateness of a liberal position given the conditions of life as moderns, thus preserving the possibility of a renewed project of management at every turn. Such a reading may well be comforting today, insofar as it enables a reconciliation to the constellations of technological thinking within which we already find ourselves engaged. Over and against such accounts, this thesis attempts to elaborate an image of Weber as a hunger artist, as one who brings into emphasis a fundamental sense of loss attendant to “modernity”, and who broods upon that loss as the condition of a more faithful reflection upon the character of being. Not only does Weber offer insight into modern conditions of research and the theorization of politics; he is one who thinks such questions in their mournful profundity, gesturing towards what cannot be carried forward within their terms. In the melancholy of his thought, it is suggested, we glimpse the contours of a horizon from which we have still not emerged.
