172	Apart and a part : dissonance, double consciousness, and the politics of black identity in African American literature, 1946-1964 Jones, David Colin January 2015 (has links) This thesis examines the politics of black identity in African American literature during what has come to be known as the ‘age of three worlds’. Across four chapters, I analyse texts by Ralph Ellison, Richard Wright, James Baldwin, and Lorraine Hansberry, exploring the way in which their writing plays out within and against the geopolitical exigencies of the Cold War and contemporaneous discourses of Civil Rights and black (inter)nationalism. In doing so, I explore the contrasting ways in which each of them displaces the binary logic that is typically seen as defining the 1950s, as a means of reconstituting both American and African American identity. Rejecting either/or identities, they all decentre prevailing notions of national and cultural identity by juxtaposing them with alternative spaces and temporalities, the result of which is a dual perspective that is simultaneously local and transnational. By extricating themselves, whether physically or intellectually, from a monolithic discursive framework, Ellison, Wright, Baldwin, and Hansberry recast the idea of double consciousness famously articulated by W. E. B. Du Bois in The Souls of Black Folk (1903). Instead of being a self-negating non-identity that serves as the psychological corollary to African Americans’ marginalised status, ‘two-ness’ is transmuted into a privileged vantage point that allows them to both intervene on the world historical stage as empowered modern subjects and renegotiate their relationship with the United States. What this two-ness amounts to, I argue, is a kind of dissonance. ‘Dissonance’, Duke Ellington claimed in 1941, names black people’s ‘way of life in America. We are something apart, yet an integral part’. The principle of introducing a ‘wrong’ note into a piece of music in order to generate new modalities of expression found in jazz is transposed into a social and literary context by the writers examined in this thesis. Each of them embodies and mobilises the socially grounded sense of being apart and a part alluded to by Ellington as a means of defamilarising normative notions of race, gender, and sexuality as they pertain to American-ness. In their place, they posit alternative forms of knowledge and politicised identity that reconstitute what it means to be both black and American in the middle of the twentieth century. 810
173	MECANISMOS DE IMPLANTACIÓN. ESTRATEGIAS DE APROXIMACIÓN. La secuencia de aproximación y acceso en la obra de F. Ll. Wright Soler Monrabal, Carlos 14 April 2016 (has links) [EN] This research deals with the study of the architectural project as a response to where it implants and makes putting the focus on the sequence alignment as a resource. To do this, the study of the relationship between the form that a building and outer space defined therein, is crucial. The way we approach a building outer space conditions this set. Through analysis, we intend to deepen the relationship between the resulting form of architecture and how the sequence alignment and access to it is organized. To achieve this goal, the work of Frank Lloyd Wright is chosen as a vehicle on which to reflect about the relationship between the sequence alignment and access, implementation mechanisms adopted and their impact on the project approach. / [ES] La presente investigación aborda el estudio del proyecto arquitectónico en su respuesta al lugar donde se implanta y lo hace poniendo el foco en la secuencia de aproximación como recurso disciplinar. Para ello el estudio de la relación entre la forma que adopta un edificio y el espacio exterior que este define, es determinante. La manera en que nos aproximamos a un edificio condiciona el espacio exterior que este configura. Mediante el análisis, se pretende profundizar la relación que existe entre la forma resultante de una arquitectura y la manera en que se organiza la secuencia de aproximación y acceso a la misma. Para alcanzar este objetivo, se escoge la obra de Frank Lloyd Wright como un vehículo sobre el que reflexionar a cerca de la relación entre la secuencia de aproximación y acceso, los mecanismos de implantación adoptados y su repercusión en el planteamiento del proyecto. / [CAT] Aquesta investigació aborda l'estudi del projecte arquitectònic en la seva resposta al lloc on s'implanta i ho fa posant el focus en la seqüència d'aproximació com a recurs.

174	Henry James, Virginia Woolf, And Frank Lloyd Wright: Interiority, Consciousness, Time, And Space In The Modernist Novel And The Home Michaelsen, Carol 01 January 2006 (has links) During the Modernist period, generally defined between the years 1890 and 1945, artists were attempting to break away from previous forms and styles. For example, writers like Henry James and Virginia Woolf sought to change the novel by exploring the consciousness of characters, while playing with the ideas of time and space to create the present moment. The thesis explores the modernist techniques used by James and Woolf, but also connects the work of the writers with the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Using Joseph Frank's theory of spatial form, my work explores the similarities between Wright's designs of private residences with the design of space in the novel. All three artists, I argue, are working with spatial form, blending interior with exterior, to provide the reader and the dweller with the opportunity to experience an organic unity, which ultimately results in a freezing of the moment. In addition to Frank's theory, I also incorporate Stanley Fish and Reader Response theory and William James's Principles of Psychology. The reader and the dweller must actively engage with the structure, whether a text or the home, to develop and realize the possibilities of spatial form. Also, William James's ideas about the mind and consciousness influenced Henry James and Virginia Woolf, especially in their focus on character, rather than description. I have chosen James's The Turn of the Screw and The Wings of the Dove along with Woolf's To the Lighthouse and The Waves to study with Wright's Prairie and Usonian residences. Each chapter looks at one novel and Wright's corresponding work during approximately the same time period. By connecting literature and architecture, the thesis provides new ways of thinking about the two disciplines, especially concerning interiority and consciousness. James, Woolf, and Wright are all experimenting with time and space to create a unified experience, and the striking parallels between their work deserves more attention.

178	Imagen fotográfica y textualidad. La obra de Wright Morris, Duane Michals y Sophie Calle Prieto Aguaza, Alberto 19 January 2009 (has links) Aparentment la funció de la imatge és la d'il·lustrar l'acció que es desenvolupa al text i la funció del text és explicar allò que visualitzem a la fotografia. Més enllà d'aquesta complementarietat, les relacions s'amplien a la imatge fotogràfica, davant les imatges sintètiques, pel seu estatus com a index. El diàleg entre ambdós mitjans expressius genera una alteració mútua, d'una banda a les coordenades espai-temps i d'una altra a la noció de referencialitat; és a dir, ni una fotografia és únicament un document real ni un text, és una ficció. S'observen aquestes relacions a les obres de Wright Morris, Duane Michals y Sophie Calle a través d'un element visual i conceptual característic de cada un d'ells -finestra, mirall i ombra- que relaciona la forma de conèixer el món i conèixer el jo. / Aparentemente la función de la imagen es la de ilustrar la acción que se desarrolla en el texto, mientras que éste debe explicar lo que vemos en aquella. Más allá de esta complementariedad, las relaciones se amplían en el caso de la imagen fotográfica, frente a las imágenes sintéticas, debido a su especial estatus como index. El diálogo entre ambos medios expresivos genera una alteración mutua, tanto de las coordenadas espacio-temporales como de la noción de referencialidad: ni una fotografía es sólo un documento real ni un texto literario una ficción. Se observan estas relaciones en la obra de Wright Morris, Duane Michals y Sophie Calle mediante un elemento visual y conceptual característico de cada uno de ellos -ventana, espejo y sombra- que relaciona la manera de conocer el mundo y de conocerse uno mismo. / At first sight, the role of the image is to illustrate the action taking place within a text, whereas this one has to explain what we see in the image. Beyond this collaboration, we find deeper relationships when talking about photographic image, in opposition to synthetic images, due to its special status as index. Dialogue between photography and a so-called literary text creates a mutual alteration, related not only to time and space but also to the question of referentiality: neither a photograph is only a real document nor a text is a fiction. We observe these changes in the works of Wright Morris, Duane Michals and Sophie Calle by means of three visual and conceptual elements -window, mirror and shadow- which connect the way to know the world and ourselves.

179	The architect as collector: Karl Kamrath’s collection of Frank Lloyd Wright Pierce, Kathryn Alisa 2009 August 1900 (has links) Houston modern architect, Karl Kamrath (1911-1988), collected books, periodicals, and archival material that document the career and legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright. Kamrath identified himself as a collector of Wright and a devotee to the principles set forth by the master architect. In this thesis, I present Kamrath’s collection by organizing the materials by subject, considering how Kamrath marked books and journals, and drawing connections between his collecting interests and his architectural work. Kamrath collected and consumed information on Wright and organic architecture and then presented his own articulations of the principles in built form. His interest in organic architecture was evident in his projects that blended into the landscape and satisfied the individual needs of each client. The purpose of this thesis is to contribute to the story on Karl Kamrath, adding the details of the collection he donated to The University of Texas at Austin. / text Kamrath, Karl MacKie & Kamrath Wright, Frank Lloyd Architecture Organic architecture Collector Collecting Collection Houston, Texas Architecture, Modern-Texas Architecture-20th century-Texas Books Periodicals Archival materials
180	MultipliCities : the infrastructure of African American literature, 1899-1996 Dean, Jeremy Stuart 15 October 2014 (has links) MultipliCities: The Infrastructure of African American Literature, 1899-1996 explores intersections between black fiction and canonical sociology through two extended case studies focusing on the authors Richard Wright and Paul Beatty. The formation of disciplinary sociology in the early twentieth century had a profound influence on the production and reception of African American literature. Sociologists at the University of Chicago were among the first to teach black fiction and poetry in the academy, and institutionalized a social scientific framework for comprehending black culture. This framework, which assumes that black writing produces racial knowledge about black experience, continues to pressure contemporary African American authors through the demands of the publishing industry today. At the same time, though, African American authors throughout the twentieth century have resisted sociological expectations for their work and responded critically to the social scientific study of the black community more broadly. MultipliCities studies black writers whose fiction is specifically critical of sociological conceptions of black personhood and place. While Richard Wright's best-selling Native Son (1940) has been canonized as a type of sociological fiction, I read against this critical tradition for the ways in which his juvenile delinquent protagonist, Bigger Thomas, evades his production as a social scientific object. I locate further evidence for Wright's revision of sociological knowledge production in his final, posthumously published novel, A Father's Law (1960; 2008), in which the main character is a sociologist and a serial killer who violently deforms the mastery of the social scientific expert. In my second case study, I turn to contemporary novelist Paul Beatty's post-civil rights era novel The White Boy Shuffle (1996), which I read as a mock ethnography in its description of a postindustrial ghetto that exceeds the sociological imagination of the so-called "culture of poverty." Though rap music is often interpreted as evidence of the alleged impoverishment of inner-city black community, in my final chapter I read Beatty's "hip hop novel" as challenging the social scientific expectations for black popular culture that are part of the ongoing legacy of the canonical sociology of race. / text African American literature Sociology Richard Wright Paul Beatty Native Son A Father's Law The White Boy Shuffle Robert Park Ernest Burgess Gunnar Myrdal Hip hop novel Hip hop culture
