RENT: A Director's Process describes the process a director undergoes in the creation of a piece of theater. It uses as its example Temple Theaters' 2010 production of RENT, and it examines how an MFA thesis production encapsulates the material garnered over three years' intensive study in a conservatory setting of the art and craft of directing. It explores the methodologies behind the pre-production process, including concept, approach, design, and casting, and continues into the production process, including rehearsal and performance. This thesis suggests a method of directing that is based on a formal approach, and shows this method to be as applicable to populist styles, such as musical theater, as it is to more experimental forms.
Temple University--Theses

This text is partial record and narrative of the process and productions of Orphans by Lyle Kessler that opened on March 29th 2007 for a four day run ending on April 1st, The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh that opened October 28th 2007 for a three day run ending on October 30th, and Terra Nova by Ted Tally that opened on February 21st 2008 for a four day run ending on February 24th. The majority of the text follows the three shows from Spring 2007, Fall 2007, to Spring 2008, focusing on the process of direction of each production. Incorporated in the writing are the experiences, lessons, and complications that arose while directing the three shows. The text contains several notes on directing, acting, collaboration, choreography, casting, rehearsal and different perspectives on the creative process of the productions: all combined create an aesthetic inherent in the author's three years of study at the Virginia Commonwealth University Theatre Pedagogy Program with an emphasis in Acting and Directing.

Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly et les arts visuels peut sembler un sujet de thèse paradoxal, tant il est convenu de considérer Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly comme incompétent dans le domaine artistique. Catholique, à la fois romancier, diariste, épistolier et critique d’art éphémère, il demeure l’un des auteurs les plus inclassables du XIXe siècle. Si le critique d’art est généralement contesté, nous proposons ici un jugement plus nuancé. Nous montrons combien l’esthétique de son écriture profane et catholique renvoie à des évocations qui sont de véritables transpositions d’œuvres d’art, où sculpture et peinture rivalisent. Quelques couleurs spécifiques sont en effet récurrentes au point de faire l’objet d’une évidente déclinaison liturgique. Au plan matériel, son goût pour la couleur est démontré par ses manuscrits. Barbey révèle au monde une écriture picturale, mais aussi une personnalité source d’inspiration et de représentation pour de nombreux artistes. Nous nous attachons également à la réception du personnage, afin de montrer comment le dandy spectaculaire, devient lui-même œuvre d’art pour ses contemporains et un sujet d’artefacts, dont les sculpteurs Zacharie Astruc et Auguste Rodin s’emparent en lui façonnant chacun un buste de bronze. Nous montrons enfin combien Barbey est une source d’inspiration pour divers artistes, allant des illustrateurs par images fixes, jusqu’aux adaptateurs, réalisateurs cinéastes et téléastes
Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly and the visual arts could be a paradoxical thesis because Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly is considered as incompetent in the artistic domain. Catholic, novelist, diarist, letter writer, and controversial art critic, he is regarded as one of the most unclassifiable authors of the XIXth century. He is one of the last romantics, but also one of the precursors of symbolism. His suggestive writing stimulates the reader’s imagination. If the art critic is controversial, yet the judgment must be qualified. His profane and religious esthetic way of writing suggests a real transposition of master works of arts, rivaling painting and sculpture. Some specific colours keep recurring so that they become the object of an obvious liturgical declension. Graphically, his taste for colour is demonstrated by his manuscripts. Barbey reveals to the world a pictorial way of writing, but also his personality is a source of inspiration and representation for numerous artists. In this thesis, the reader becomes attracted by the reception of his character, a Spectacular Dandy, who becomes a work of art himself for his contemporaries: the sculptors Zacharie Astruc and Auguste Rodin made bronze busts of him. Jules Barbey d’Aurevilly inspires the whole field of the visual arts, from illustrators of his published books, up to adapters, directors, film-makers and television directors

By the 20th Century, tax codes made a distinction between for-profit and not-for-profit organisations. The distinction was that not-for- profits were to supply a service to society like hospitals, churches and museums. The distinctions are no longer clear. There is a demand for 'new breed' or hybrid directors in an environment favoring economic capital and searching for people who can be champions for social capital. This international cross-disciplinary research explores the leadership challenge through personal interviews and survey feedback with 72 museum directors or associate directors across Australia, the United States, England and Canada. Organisation psychology and management theory is brought to the field of art history. Art history is the traditional breeding ground for museum directors. In concluding, the thesis argues for a range of propositions to address the current leadership crisis in art museums based on a new understanding of leadership and leadership development

A director, just like a pastry chef, must be delicate. Actors are fragile, fearful human beings. And just like a pie crust requires the perfect balance of water and flour, an actor requires a similar balance in both comfort and companionship. Eryn Snyder worked for three months to create a space where her actors could live freely in the world of the characters. With a cast of four, rehearsals were intimate, demanding, and playful. Theatre requires a director to lay down the sort of soil that encourages growth. It nurtures, it listens, it plays, and it asks questions. A director’s job is to fall in love with a story and cultivate the safest space for discovery. When achieved, the words don’t matter. There is a life unlike any other between a group of courageous human beings. Strung together with letters and love, here is a story of some extraordinary planting.

¿Qué personalidad tiene un actor? ¿Qué le lleva a transformarse cada noche sobre un escenario? ¿Es muy diferente de un director de escena? Los dos se ponen al servicio de la ficción diegética. Ambos necesitan tener empatía, inteligencia emocional, pensamiento creativo y equilibrio psicológico. La psicología ha prestado escaso interés a los actores (Goldstein, 2009). Investigaciones previas han determinado que la personalidad de estos tiende al neuroticismo (Goldstein & Winner, 2009), siendo proclives al sentimiento de culpa (Marchant-Haycox &Wilson, 1992), son más abiertos de mente y a la experiencia, son imaginativos y con sentido estético (Nettle, 2006), son creativos (Kogan, 2002; Nemiro, 1997), arriesgados y aventureros (Marchant-Haycox &Wilson, 1992). Otros estudios han investigado la empatía y la regulación emocional (Goldestein & Winner, 2008, 2012; Goldestein, Wu & Winner, 2009, 2010; Ligthelm, 2010) e Inteligencia Emocional (Corwin, 2014) en este grupo de población. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue estudiar el perfil psicocognitivo-emocional en una muestra de estudiantes de la Escuela Superior de Arte Dramático (Murcia) comparándolos con población normativa y comparándolos entre sí por especialidad de estudios (Interpretación y Dirección), género y curso. Los objetivos fueron: 1) realizar un perfil psicocognitivo de estos alumnos estudiando la personalidad, inteligencia general e inteligencia emocional; 2) estudiar las diferencias en función de la especialidad de estudios (Dirección vs. Interpretación), del género y del curso académico (para estudiar la influencia de la formación en Arte Dramático en las diferencias de los perfiles psicocognitvos); y 3) establecer la influencia de las variables estudiadas en la calidad artística (actor-director) de los alumnos, tomando como referencia de calidad las calificaciones académicas obtenidas. Un total de 221 alumnos: 84 chicos y 137 chicas, con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 55 años participaron en el estudio. Se utilizaron pruebas estandarizadas: (MSCEIT v.2.0 Mayer, Salovey & Caruso, 2002/2009), (EQ-i, Bar-On, 2000), factor "g" de Catell (Cattell & Cattell, 1973/1999) y el Inventario de Personalidad Revisado (NEO-PI-R) (Costa & McCrae, 1978/2002). Los resultados mostraron, mediante análisis de comparación de medias (t de Student), que los futuros actores y directores son más inteligentes, más neuróticos, más abiertos, menos amables y menos responsables que la población normativa. En IE habilidad, mostraron una ligera superioridad en el área estratégica; destacando en la rama de comprensión emocional y manejo emocional y cierta inferioridad en facilitación emocional. No se encontraron diferencias atendiendo a la especialidad de estudios de los participantes. Dependiendo del género se encontraron algunas diferencias significativas que apuntan a un perfil de alumnos de A.D más inteligentes, y menos amables que las alumnas de A.D. Las diferencias entre cursos académicos muestran: una población homogénea en inteligencia, mientras que en personalidad destaca el elevado neuroticismo de 2º curso. Para descubrir la influencia de las variables estudiadas en la calidad artística, se realizó un análisis de regresión lineal por pasos sucesivos para cada especialidad, utilizando como variable dependiente la calificación académica (Interpretación o Dirección), y como variables predictoras: edad, género, nivel de inteligencia general y las variables de personalidad, IE habilidad e IE rasgo. En el caso de la predicción de la calidad como director, se obtuvo un modelo significativo. En dicho modelo solo quedó introducida como variable predictora la dimensión conciencia-responsabilidad, la cual explicaba un 21% de la calidad como director. Se discuten los resultados en el contexto de la investigación sobre personalidad, inteligencia emocional, empatía y regulación emocional en población similar (actores). Se ha cumplido el objetivo planteado y se destaca la importancia de los constructos estudiados en el ámbito de la pedagogía artística y la novedad de su planteamiento en una muestra de estudiantes de teatro en nuestro país.
What personality does an actor have? What leads to transform him each night on stage? Is it much more different than a stage director? Both are at disposal of diegetic fiction. Both need to have empathy, emotional intelligence, creative thinking and psychological balance. Psychology has paid little attention to actors (Goldstein, 2009). Previous research has determined that actors’ personality tends to neuroticism (Goldstein & Winner, 2009), being inclined to the blame feeling (Marchant-Haycox & Wilson, 1992), they are more open-minded and open to experience, they are imaginative and have a aesthetic sense (Nettle, 2006), they are creative (Kogan, 2002; Nemiro, 1997), they are risky and adventurous (Marchant-Haycox &Wilson, 1992). Other studies have researched empathy and emotional regulation (Goldstein & Winner, 2008, 2012; Goldstein, Wu & Winner, 2009, 2010; Ligthelm, 2010) and Emotional Intelligence (Corwin, 2014) of this group of population. The objective of our project was to study the psycho cognitive-emotional profile of a sample of students of the Superior School of Dramatic Art (Murcia), comparing them with normative population and with themselves according to studies speciality (Acting and Directing), gender and school year. The objectives were: 1) to make a psycho cognitive profile of these students analysing personality, general intelligence and emotional intelligence; 2) to study the differences according to studies speciality (Directing vs. Acting), gender and school year (in order to study the influence of training in Dramatic Art on the differences of psycho cognitive profiles); and 3) to establish the influence of variables studied in students’ artistic quality (actor-director), taking as quality reference the obtained academic marks. A total of 221 students: 84 boys and 137 girls, 18-55 years old, took part in the research. Standardized tests were used: (MSCEIT v.2.0 Mayer, Salovey & Caruso, 2002/2009), (EQ-i, Bar-On, 2000), Catell’s “g” factor (Cattell & Cattell, 1973/1999) and Revised Personality Inventory (NEO-PI-R) (Costa & McCrae, 1978/2002). Results showed, through average comparison analysis (t for Student), that future actors and directors are more intelligent, more neurotic, more open, less kind and less responsible than normative population. Regarding EI skill, they showed a slight superiority in strategic area, standing out in emotional comprehension branch and emotional managing and certain inferiority of emotional facilitation. Differences attending the speciality of studies were not found. Depending on gender, some meaningful differences were found, which point to D. A. male students more intelligent and less kind than D. A. actresses. Differences on school years show: a homogeneous population on intelligence, while on personality high neuroticism is outlined in second year. In order to discover the influence of studied variables in artistic quality, a lineal regression analysis was made in successive steps, using as dependant variable the academic marks (Acting or Directing), and as predictive variables: age, gender, level of general intelligence and personality variables, EI skill and EI feature. Regarding prediction of quality as director, a meaningful model was obtained. In such model, the only predictive variable presented was the conscience-responsibility dimension, which explained a 21% of the quality as director. Results were discussed in the context of research on personality, emotional intelligence, empathy and emotional regulation in similar population (actors). The objective considered is accomplished and it is outlined the importance of studied constructs in the field of artistic pedagogy and novelty of its approach in a sample of theatre students in our country.

As práticas educativas em creche, por condicionamentos históricos e sociais, trazem, predominantemente, os traços do assistencialismo e do cuidar materno. Essas características tiram o foco sobre a necessidade de formação dos educadores, não atendem às exigências do cuidar e educar na Educação Infantil – EI, consequentemente, não possibilitam que tais práticas sejam planejadas, realizadas, avaliadas e voltadas ao pleno desenvolvimento biopsicossocial das crianças. Dessa forma, esta pesquisa parte do seguinte questionamento: Quais as características dos objetos lúdicos que permitem a elaboração de indicadores que orientem seus usos nas práticas de multiletramento nas creches? Para tanto, procurou-se criar indicadores de seleção, usos, registro e avaliação de objetos para os processos de multiletramento social em creche, por meio das múltiplas linguagens da arte e do brincar, a fim de orientar os educadores nas práticas educativas. A pesquisa, de cunho qualitativo, por meio de um estudo bibliográfico realizado nas bases de dados indexadas, verificou as produções científicas na área e correlatas ao tema do estudo, no período de 1990 a 2017; o estudo documental foi realizado na legislação e nas orientações nacionais que regem a EI. Buscando fazer a interlocução entre Educação, Arte e Linguagem, o levantamento mostrou a necessidade de estudos científicos que abarquem a primeiríssima infância. Os resultados orientaram quanto aos processos de letramento e usos dos objetos lúdicos, focando nos materiais para a primeiríssima infância e propiciaram escopo para a elaboração do livro “Ler, Criar e Brincar: objetos lúdicos no multiletramento em creche”.
The educational practices in day care center, due to historical and social conditioning, predominantly bring traits of assistance and maternal care. These characteristics take focus on the need for training of educators, do not meet the demands of caring for and educate in Early Childhood Education, consequently, do not allow such practices to be planned, carried out, evaluated and aimed at the full biopsychosocial development of children. Thus, this research is based on the following question: What are the characteristics of play objects that allow the elaboration of indicators that guide their uses in the practice of multiletramento in day care centers? Therefore, we tried to create indicators of selection, use, registration and evaluation of objects for the processes of social multilearning in day care, through the multiple languages of art and play, in order to guide educators in educational practices. The qualitative research, through a bibliographic study carried out in the indexed databases, verified the scientific productions in the area and related to the theme of the study, from 1990 to 2017; the documentary study was carried out in the legislation and in the national guidelines governing the IE. Seeking to make the interlocution between Education, Art and Language, the survey showed the need for scientific studies that cover the very first childhood. The results guided the processes of literacy and use of play objects, focusing on materials for early childhood and provided scope for the elaboration of the book "Read, Create and Play: playful objects in multiletrament in day care center".

The purpose of this study was to investigate the frequency and the time that middle and high school orchestra directors engaged in seven specific teaching behaviors in a rehearsal setting. Of particular interest was the amount of time orchestra directors engaged in conceptual teaching behaviors operationally defined as verbal behaviors of orchestra directors in which they attempt to make students aware of, have an understanding of, and/or be able to transfer any musical concept. Participants ( N = 12) were full-time middle and high school orchestra directors teaching in Washington, Oregon, or California. Each participant submitted a video recording of two regular orchestra rehearsals. Video recordings of participants were divided into 20-minute segments and randomly selected for observation of seven specific and operationally defined teaching behaviors: (a) nonmusical behavior, (b) nonverbal instruction (direction), (c) verbal instruction (direction), (d) noninteractive listening, (e) nonverbal feedback, (f) verbal feedback, and (g) conceptual teaching. These seven teaching behaviors were analyzed using the Simple Computer Recording Interface for Behavioral Evaluation (SCRIBE) of Duke and Stammen (2007). The data were reported in the form of the frequency with which each behavior occurred, the average time for each behavior expressed in minutes and seconds, and the percentage of time used on each behavior. Findings on conceptual teaching were reported. The results indicated that, on average, orchestra directors spent slightly more than 5% of the observed rehearsal time on conceptual teaching. Most of the instructional time was used on nonverbal instruction (28.15%) and verbal instruction (27.76%). Orchestra directors observed in this study used the least amount of time (2.42%) on nonverbal feedback. The most concerning finding of the study was the time orchestra directors used on nonmusical behaviors (14.70%), and the most interesting finding of the study was that middle school orchestra directors used twice as much time (7.40%) as high school orchestra directors (3.21%) on conceptual teaching. The findings of this study provided suggestions for future research and implications for music educators.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Central to a site-specific approach to performance is the concern for the potential of unconventional spaces. Appearing in multiple mediums, there seems to be little clarity on the parameters of this approach and it appears to have become a flexible term under which a plethora of manifestations have begun to collect. The aim of this thesis is to investigate a personalised site-specific approach to performance in order to provide insight into the role of the director in this approach, as well as to identify possible characteristics that might differentiate a site-specific approach to performance from other outdoor performance genres. Selected visual arts movements of the 1960s and 1970s which contributed towards the gradual development of a site-specific approach are Dadaism, abstract expressionism, minimalism, performance art, happenings, and land art. Artists involved in these movements challenged the traditional idealisation of aesthetic art works by placing importance on the physical experience and creation of art works. Eventually involved artists abandoned the galleries all together, exploring the potential of unconventional spaces through installations and performances. Theatre practitioners such as Artaud, Grotowski, Schechner, Malina and Beck contributed, amongst other things, on the breaking down of the theatre space, removing the stage and seating in order for the performance to engulf the audience in the action. Site-based performance was influenced by the above mentioned practitioners. Possible categories collected under this umbrella term are site-sympathetic, site-adjusted, site-specific and site-generic. Practitioners currently exploring these individual approaches in the Western Cape are amongst others Samantha Prigge- Pienaar, Louise Coetzer and Nicola Hanekom. A practical investigation of a personalised site-specific approach to performance, led to the following conclusions. Firstly, a site-specific approach to creating a performance requires the director to step into the role of facilitator, making decisions in response to the site rather than controlling the site. Secondly, the term site-specific is not fixed, as it expands and develops with the unique needs of every site. Thirdly, it is restrictive to say that elements like music and/or props cannot be brought into the site; however this depends on the nature of the site. Fourthly, while a complete set of characteristics cannot be made absolute for a sitespecific approach to performance two key features of this approach are the centrality of the site and the interactive relationships. Lastly, a site-specific approach to performance asks for a paradigm shift, whereby everything that is considered part of the traditional theatre should be reviewed.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die potensiaal van onkonvensionele ruimtes is sentraal tot ’n plek-spesifieke benadering tot performance. Daar blyk egter nie duidelikheid te wees oor die begrensing van hierdie benadering nie en dit lyk asof dit ’n buigsame term is waaronder ’n hele aantal moontlikehede kan voorkom. Hierdie tesis stel dit ten doel om ’n persoonlike plek-spesifieke benadering tot performance te ondersoek ten einde groter insig te verkry ten opsigte van die rol van die regisseur binne hierdie benadering, sowel as moontlike eienskappe te identifiseer wat hierdie benadering tot performance van ander buitelug performance genres onderskei. Gekose visuele kunste bewegings van die 1960s en 1970s wat bygedra het tot die geleidelike ontwikkeling van ’n plek-spesifieke benadering was Dadaïsme, abstrakte ekspressionisme, minimalisme, performance art, happenings en landskap kuns. Kunstenaars wat by hierdie bewegings betrokke was, het die tradisionele idealisering van estetiese kunswerke uitgedaag deur eerder klem te plaas op die skep van en die fisieke belewenis van kunswerke. Op die ou einde is daar wegbeweeg van gallerye en is die potensiaal van onkonvensionele ruimtes deur middel van instellasies en performances ondersoek. Teaterpraktisyns soos Artuad, Grotowski, Schechner, Malina en Beck het onder andere bygedra tot die herkonstruering van die teaterruimte, deur die skeidslyn tussen die verhoog en ouditorium weg te neem en die gehoor in die aksie te dompel. Plek-gebaseerde performance is onder deur bogenoemde praktisyns be nvloed. Moontlike kategorieë wat by hierdie sambreelterm ingesluit word, is plek-simpatiek, plek-aangepas, plek-spesifiek en plek-generies. Praksityns wat tans van hierdie benaderings in die Wes-Kaap ondersoek sluit onder ander in Samantha Prigge-Pienaar, Louise Coetzer en Nicola Hanekom. ’n Praktiese ondersoek van ’n persoonlike plek-spesifieke benadering tot performance het tot die volgende gevolgtrekkings gelei. Eerstens vereis ’n plek-spesifieke benadering tot die skep van ’n performance dat die regisseur die rol van fasiliteerder moet vervul, wat besluite neem in antwoord en reaksie op die ruimte, eerder as iemand wat die ruimte probeer beheer. Die term plek-spesifiek is tweedens buigsaam deurdat dit na aanleiding van die unieke behoeftes van elke ruimte ontwikkel of uitgebrei word. Derdens is dit beperkend om van die veronderstelling uit te gaan dat elemente soos musiek en/of rekwisiete nie in die ruimte ingebring kan word nie, die aard van die ruimte sal dit bepaal. Vierdens, alhoewel daar nie ’n volledige stel eienskappe vasgestel kan word vir ’n plek-spesifieke benadering tot performance nie, is twee hoof kenmerke van hierdie benadering die sentraliteit van die ruimte en die interaktiewe verhoudings. Laastens vereis ’n plek-spesifieke benadering tot performance ’n paradigmaskuif, wat alle elemente wat deel uitmaak van die tradisionele teater in heroorweging neem.

Esta tesis trata sobre la importancia de la luz en el conjunto de la civilización, especialmente en el campo de las bellas artes. Estudia la luz en la antigüedad descubriendo las ideas y los mitos; el simbolismo de la luz y los mitos de la sombra. Sigue la evolución de las artes y de los espectáculos de la luz hasta su desarrollo en el cine.
En este viaje, he comprobado que el concepto de luz está presente en todas las civilizaciones y culturas como uno de los símbolos más importantes. Desde los primeros indicios en la antigüedad hasta los espectáculos contemporáneos el dominio de la luz y la sombra ha catalizado mucho saber y magia. El simbolismo y el dominio, tanto de la luz natural como de la luz artificial, ha sido una cuestión central de las artes.
La tesis estudia la luz en las bellas artes, arquitectura, pintura y escultura. En la arquitectura, desde el fuego, primer hogar, hasta el muro de cristal haciendo mención especial en el simbolismo de la luz en la arquitectura religiosa. La luz o su ausencia ha sido utilizada en los rituales litúrgicos de la mayoría de las religiones. La luz en la pintura donde su representación ha sido la preocupación constante de los artistas para conseguir crear sensación de realidad. Repasa pintores como Giotto y Masaccio, los flamencos Jan Van Eyck y Jan Vermeer, los holandeses Frans Hals y Rembrandt, De la Tour; Caravaggio y otros más cercanos como Velázquez y Goya que han sido motivo de inspiración para los directores de fotografía. La mayoría de los directores de fotografía que he entrevistado me han comentado que ellos "pintan con la luz", se sienten pintores y han tomado como referente a algunos artistas pintores.
La tesis examina los espectáculos de la luz y de la sombra a lo largo de la historia: el teatro de sombras, la cámara oscura, la linterna mágica, el panorama, el diorama, el cinematógrafo. Sigue la pista de la luz en el teatro indagando en las aportaciones de Adolphe Appia y Marià Fortuny. la relación entre música y luz en los trabajos de L. B. Castell y la magia que aporta Carles Buigas en sus fuentes y proyectos cuando combina agua y luz.
Explica la evolución del espejo y la fabricación del vidrio con sus diferentes aplicaciones, en un recorrido desde el faro de Alejandría o el espejo de Arquímedes hasta las modernas tecnologías como el horno solar de Font Romeo.
En el cine, profundiza en la historia de la iluminación descubriendo la utilización de la Black Maria para la grabación de sonido. Se estudian los cambios más importantes que se dieron con la llegada de la electricidad, que ha permitido el control de la luz y el sonido. El cine sonoro supone una gran evolución para los iluminadores, como luego también lo sería la película de color o la introducción de la lente fresnel. La historia de la iluminación en el cine esta contada en función de los avances tecnológicos que han facilitado el trabajo a los iluminadores en su lucha para pintar con la luz.
Vemos como en muchas ocasiones los avances técnicos y tecnológicos no parten directamente de la ingeniería, sino que son fruto de las intuiciones, impulsos o imaginación de los iluminadores, creadores y artistas en busca de recursos expresivos y creativos.
Todo este camino sirve para entender "El Sentido de la Luz" en todo su recorrido hasta la iluminación en el cine y comprobar, entre otras cosas, cómo los iluminadores, y directores de fotografía, pintan con la luz inspirándose en sus antepasados los pintores.
This thesis deals with notions and ideas of light throughout history, especially in the plastic arts. It begins with a study of ideas and myths about light in Antiquity, especially the symbolism of light and myths about shadows, and then proceeds to see the role of art in both the plastic and the performing arts culminating in the development of film and cinema.
Ideas about light exist in all civilizations and cultures and are expressed in important symbols. Human control of both natural and artificial light are a key part of any artistic expression.
This thesis studies the meaning of light in bellas artes. First, we analyze the symbolism of light in religious architecture, and then proceed to prove that painters have always been the source of inspiration of cinema's directors of photography, who tend to see themselves as painters for they "paint" light.
The thesis surveys the spectacles of light and shadows throughout history, such as the theater of shadows, the camera obscura (dark chamber), the magic lantern, the panorama, the diorama and cinema. Two particular case studies of artistic use of light are the evolution of light technique in theater by Appia and Fortuny, and the interplay of light and water by the Catalan engineer Buigas.
Concerning cinema, we make a historical analysis of the most relevant changes brought up by electricity, which allowed to control both sound and light. Sonoro cinema allowed major innovations for light experts, who also benefited by inventions such as the color film or the Fresnel lens. We survey the most important technological advances that have contributed to new ways to paint light.
Our historical survey thus illuminates the long and cumbersome process of innovation to express and control the "Sense of light".

Art directing i en digital kommunikationsbyrå och att arbeta heltid eller deltid som konstnär är två yrken som har en sak gemensamt. I egenskap av professionella roller har de en nyckeluppgift de måste uppfylla – att vara kreativa. I denna uppsats fokuserar vi på den kreativa processen vid generering av idéer i områden av digital media och konst för att se om det finns tydliga skillnader eller likheter i hur kreativt arbete för sig inom båda områden. För att jämföra den kreativa processen mellan de två parterna har vi gjort flertalet intervjuer och observationer med yrkesverksamma konstnärer och art directors. Genom att undersöka områdena kreativitet, design och konst har vi distingerat ett antal olika steg som är teoretiskt möjliga att applicera på både design och konst. Genom att ställa samma frågor till samtliga informanter och genom att kategorisera de händelser som dokumenteras vid observationerna hoppas vi på att kunna dra slutsatser om likheter och olikheter inom de kreativa processerna i konst och designarbete. Vi hoppas även att våra resultat kan tillämpas på senare studier samt av designers och konstnärer som vill lära sig av varandras arbete.
Art directing in a digital communication agency and working as a full or part-time artist is two occupations that have one thing in common. Both professional roles has one key assignment that they need to fulfill – to be creative. In this paper we will focus on the creative process when generating ideas in the areas of digital media and arts to see if there are any significant differences or similarities between how the creative work is done in both areas. To compare the creative process between the two parts we have done several interviews and observations with working creators within the areas. By exploring the concepts of creativity, design and art we have distinguished several steps which theoretically could be applied to both design work and arts. By asking the same questions to all informants and by categorizing the events documented in the observations we hopeto be able to come up with conclusions about what differences there are between the processes in artand design work. We also hope that our results can be adapted in later studies and by designers andartists who want to learn something from each other's work.

Esta disserta??o baseia-se em uma experi?ncia teatral de quatro anos (2009-2012) com vinte turmas de 9? ano em uma escola p?blica de Felipe Camar?o, Natal-RN, desenvolvida por mim, e se destina a analisar os procedimentos emp?ricos experimentados e descobertos por adolescentes que assumiram a fun??o de diretores teatrais frente ?s suas turmas, buscando montar pe?as a partir da adapta??o de filmes brasileiros, e, portanto descobrir com os pr?prios conceitos a maneira de lidar com a especificidade das linguagens art?sticas em quest?o. Para tanto, a presente pesquisa aborda o meu papel como orientador destes processos c?nicos atribuindo um novo significado ao professor de teatro da escola p?blica que participa ativamente dos trabalhos, mas potencializa a autonomia dos alunos-diretores em conduzir. Alunos-diretores numa realidade, cujo contexto s?cio-cultural influencia diretamente suas constru??es ficcionais no teatro e que ao refletirem coletivamente, a partir da dialogicidade, entendem a import?ncia do relacionamento entre os membros de um grupo. Esta pesquisa-a??o apresenta, por vezes, uma linguagem metaf?rica com o intuito de enfatizar o universo destes adolescentes, e adentra em temas ligados ? pedagogia freireana tentando estabelecer uma ponte entre a realidade dos adolescentes oprimidos e o protagonismo adquirido com o envolvimento nas fic??es das pe?as montadas, acomodando aspectos da pedagogia de Makarenko, no tocante ? coopera??o coletiva de um grande grupo. Deste modo, a pesquisa mergulha profundamente na caracteriza??o do ambiente que cerca estes alunos procurando entender as identidades culturais e suas influ?ncias est?ticas na cria??o de seus espet?culos. Associa ainda experi?ncias e intui??es de alunos na condu??o teatral com outras teorias ou te?ricos do teatro como o Teatro ?pico em Brecht, o Teatro Pobre de Grotowski, o Teatro Popular, o Teatro do Absurdo, o Teatro do Oprimido desenvolvido por Boal apontando conceitos tamb?m de Stanislavski, Tch?khov, e Meyerhold. Utiliza ainda conceitos ligados ? m?dia, ? mistura da realidade com a fic??o e aos processos de condu??o em um grupo, como um fen?meno nominado efeito de condu??o . Faz assim a leitura art?stica de quatro encena??es (no total), selecionadas uma por ano, tentando formalizar conceitos teatrais outrora discutidos. Por fim, mesmo estando minha participa??o dilu?da no texto, traz algumas conversas com encenadores que gostam de ensinar e aprender

This thesis is an interdisciplinary study that traces the commerce-art-politics nexus of Hong Kong cinema since the new millennium, through investigating the current young generation of film workers who joined the industry as it gradually entered an era marked by the domination of Hong Kong/Mainland co-productions. It reveals the filmmaking ideologies of emerging filmmakers from both within and beyond their film texts, and uncovers the artistic and ideological discrepancies between this young generation and their predecessors - the established generation who contributed to the glory days of Hong Kong cinema during its economic boom. By tracing the studies of national cinema and transnational cinema in the last three decades, I debunk the national/transnational antagonism with the case of the post-2000 Hong Kong cinema. It does not only prove that the binary is far more complicated than one being superseded by the other, or them coexisting with each other, but rather evolving into each other from a historical perspective. In this vein, the current Hong Kong cinema has split into two: a transnational cinema represented by the established generation of filmmakers; and a national cinema that is driven by the emerging generation who struggle for better preservation of Hong Kong local culture and their own cultural identities. Furthermore, this thesis scrutinizes the working and material conditions of these young film practitioners, in which employment and economic opportunity are primarily derived from co-productions and mainland productions. It expands the discussion over the concept of precarity and argues that the Hong Kong case demonstrates two extra dimensions of labour precarity: an excessive reliance on an external market (i.e. mainland market), and the workers' dissenting political attitudes towards a politically sensitive regime, namely mainland China under the ruling of the Communist Party. Lastly, developments in Hong Kong film policy since the handover are examined. As its longstanding managing philosophy of "minimal intervention" has largely remained unchanged in Hong Kong, the government has turned from a "laissez-faire" approach to what Mark Purcell terms an "aidez-faire" approach in the local film industry, yet it still failed to meet the industry's expectations of creating a holistic film policy. Nevertheless, film policy in the post-handover era had an undeniable impact in terms of cultivating young filmmakers. To research the topic, 47 in-depth interviews were conducted. These first-hand interviews, combined with data gathered from multiple resources, as well as a text analysis of the 107 films made by young directors between 2000 and 2018, form the factual basis of this thesis. Employing a Hong Kong/Mainland Film dynamics perspective, this study aims to fill a gap in the academic study of Hong Kong cinema, which has paid scant attention to the material conditions and artistic visions of craft labour in the industry, and especially of the young generation of filmmakers who are facing the decline of a once prosperous but currently diminishing local film industry.

Si bien existe una cantidad considerable de trabajos de investigación sobre las llamadas cineastas “vanguardistas” o “resistentes” a las estructuras comerciales, la obra fílmica de mujeres que recurren a formas populares no ha recibido suficiente atención crítica en los estudios de cine en general, ni en estudios fílmicos feministas en particular. Esta tesis se propone abordar una selección de obras realizadas por cineastas estadounidenses contemporáneas que han sido percibidas como películas de género en los discursos críticos: la película de terror Jennifer’s Body (2009), dirigida por Karyn Kusama y escrita por Diablo Cody, el western Meek’s Cutoff (2010), dirigido por Kelly Reichardt, y el filme de guerra The Hurt Locker (2008), dirigido por Kathryn Bigelow. Tomando como punto de partida la conceptualización del género cinematográfico como un proceso, y a la vez un repertorio o una constelación de materiales culturales, estéticos e ideológicos, el objetivo es reflexionar sobre cómo las cineastas citadas emplean los formatos genéricos para entablar un diálogo con las formas pasadas, y al mismo tiempo contribuir a rehacer y permutar los imaginarios sociales, en particular en cuanto a la representación del género sexual. La tesis pretende contextualizar la obra de las cineastas estudiadas, ofreciendo un detallado examen no solo de sus películas, sino también de sus figuras públicas, que se prestan a consideraciones sobre una serie de cuestiones que nos parecen cruciales para repensar y problematizar la noción de “cine de mujeres”: la división entre los géneros “masculinos” y “femeninos”, la creciente importancia y visibilidad de la figura autorial de las cineastas, la disolución de los lindes entre el cine comercial y el cine independiente, el contexto de la llamada cultura mediática posfeminista y la cuestión del placer fílmico de las espectadoras. Uno de los objetivos principales es desestabilizar la distinción entre cultura femenina y masculina, así como revaluar ciertos géneros como espacios discursivos válidos para los análisis feministas –abiertos a posibilidades de reinscripción estética, narrativa e ideológica– y de esta manera ofrecer un replanteamiento crítico de la deslegitimación o del olvido habitual de ciertos géneros cinematográficos en contextos particulares. En términos generales, esta tesis se propone examinar con qué tipo de obstáculos y limitaciones se enfrentan las cineastas, sea por su género sexual, sea por el género cinematográfico en el cual eligen trabajar, pero también cómo traspasan o desestabilizan estas fronteras, forzándonos a rediseñar nuestras propias herramientas metodológicas, conceptos y entramados teóricos a partir de los cuales repensar la vigencia del “cine de mujeres” como clave hermenéutica. La tesis se estructura en cinco secciones: un capítulo que incluye el marco teórico, un capítulo dedicado al estudio comparativo y extratextual de la recepción y de la construcción de la figura autorial de las cineastas abordadas en esta investigación, y tres capítulos que contienen análisis detallados de tres géneros fílmicos: cine de terror, western y cine bélico. La intención no ha sido ofrecer una visión panorámica del cine de mujeres estadounidenses en el momento actual, ni trazar la evolución de las respectivas cineastas o tradiciones fílmicas en el sentido más amplio, sino más bien ofrecer una aproximación transversal y sincrónica, que permita destacar los principales problemas que surgen en la intersección del género cinematográfico, la autoría fílmica de mujeres y el género sexual.
While a considerable amount of research has been done on so-called “avant-garde” or “oppositional” female filmmakers, women who make films by drawing on popular forms have still to be given sufficient critical attention, in film studies in general, and in feminist film studies in particular. The objective behind this thesis is to address a selection of works of contemporary American filmmakers which have been perceived in the critical discourses as genre films: Jennifer’s Body (2009) as a horror film, directed by Karyn Kusama and written by Diablo Cody, Meek’s Cutoff (2010) as a western, directed by Kelly Reichardt, and The Hurt Locker (2008) as a war film, directed by Kathryn Bigelow. In particular –and taking as a starting point the conceptualization of genre as a process, a repertoire or a constellation of cultural, aesthetic and ideological materials– the aim is to reflect on how these filmmakers use the genericity of filmic storytelling to engage purposefully with past forms, at the same time as contributing to remaking and shifting social imaginaries, especially in terms of gender representation. This thesis seeks to put women filmmakers in context, offering a close examination not only of their films, but also of their public figures, which raise a number of intriguing questions that are crucial to rethinking and problematizing the notion of “women’s cinema”: the distinction between “male” and “female” genres, the growing importance and visibility of authorial images of female filmmakers, the blurring borders between commercial and independent cinema, the context of the so-called postfeminist media culture, and the consideration of female spectatorial pleasures. This thesis neither attempts to offer a panoramic vision of contemporary women’s cinema, nor to trace the evolution of respective filmmakers and filmic traditions in the wider sense, but rather to present a transversal and synchronic approach, one that underlines the principal obstacles that arise at the intersection of film genres, female film authorship, and gender.

As a postmodern director, David Lynch makes films which are innovative, evocative, and uniquely his own. The theme of twinning, in particular, is recapitulated throughout the director's oeuvre; however, it is with Lost Highway that the thematic element he addresses takes center stage. The film's main character Fred Madison (Bill Pullman) is unable to cope with the trauma in his life. After killing his wife and finding himself on death row, he has a parallel identity crisis; he manages a metamorphosis into a younger, virile Pete Dayton (Balthazar Getty). The method which allows this transformation is the psychogenic fugue: a fantasy which creates an alternate reality caused by the subject's refusal to see objective truth(s). As the plot progresses, there are several more characters who develop alter egos. These other important twinnings include Fred's wife Renee/Alice (Patricia Arquette), Mr. Eddy/Dick Laurant (Robert Loggia), and the Mystery Man played by Robert Blake. Of all the doppelgangers, the Mystery Man is vital to the unraveling of the story; he is an abstraction and can exist in several places at one time. He is a symbolic function of the superego which allows Fred to carry out the mission. Lynch also uses the Moebius Strip as another tool to interweave reality and fantasy into the plot. The story can have a litany of meanings because of the twist in the strip. It allows overlap in the space/time continuum. The use of this concept is invaluable in applying certain types of analysis to the film. Among others, Jacques Lacan , Sigmund Freud, and Slavoj Zizek are central to defining the film. Lynch shows the audience that fantasy cannot subvert reality. It is only a temporary fix. Fred Madison's twinning is unsuccessful in the end. He is forced to continue riding his own lost highway until another new reality is created.

Museums are important for maintaining trust and tolerance in society and their importance has in-creased as more and more people visit museums. Twenty-five million visits were made to museums in Sweden in 2014. The issue of creative idea generation in terms of exhibition projects is central to the museum's impact and success, and to its relevance to an increasingly complex audience. In order to download their collections with new content and stories, museums have to develop their vision of creative idea generation and be better at taking a creative approach to the exhibition topic. This is difficult because museums have an inherent resistance to change because they are controlled by their institutions, here in the sense of self-imposed rules, conventions and traditions of how something is done. Within institutional theory, one uses the term Path Dependency. There are constant negotiations within institutions between the different roles with varying strong or weak ne-gotiating positions. Museum directors have strong negotiating positions and are therefore key play-ers in the creation of exhibitions. By illustrating how museum directors perceive their role in relation to exhibits, it is possible to change the institutions. Qualitative semi-structured interviews have thus been conducted with all five museum directors who have been or are active in the Swedish National Maritime Museums in the period 2004-2013. The investigation has shown that the organization and the director general at an overall level estab-lish the framework for museum directors' ability to exercise their role and their negotiating position. One result is that museum directors have strong negotiating positions in certain distinct areas, but that there are also areas that are unclear to them, which prevents them from fully exploiting their negotiation position. One such area is the commissioning of exhibitions, especially in relation to the artistic creative processes and design. The conclusion from the result is that the commissioner’s role must be defined much more clearly. Another important conclusion is that museum directors must approach the question of what creative idea generation is and how it works.

Trabajo de investigación

Miembro de una promoción de realizadores independientes que surgen en el cine de los Estados Unidos en los años finales del siglo XX, Wes Anderson viene desarrollando una obra fílmica que muestra características recurrentes: un estilo de planificar basado en la centralidad y la simetría, mundos representados que se alejan del realismo, entre otras. Este estilo encuentra su fundamento en una visión del mundo y una sensibilidad, atraída por los mundos anacrónicos y por el artificio formal. Este trabajo describe e interpreta los rasgos de estilo de Wes Anderson que se detectan en la construcción de su universo iconográfico y los vincula con la mirada personal del realizador sobre los personajes y sus mundos, posicionándolo como uno de los cineastas de autor más relevantes en la actualidad. El acercamiento al tema se hace a partir del examen de imágenes de tres películas de su filmografía.
Trabajo de investigación

Cette thèse, qui croise l'oeuvre de Jean Cocteau avec la culture italienne, a un double but. D'une part, il s'agit de retracer les éléments qui ont contribué à donner vie à la partie italienne de l'imaginaire du poète, au cours de ses séjours dans la Péninsule. D'autre part, elle vise à faire connaître le point de vue italien sur sa présence dans le pays, en particulier pour ce qui concerne ses films et sa réflexion critique. Elle s'articule en trois parties. Dans la première, il s'agit de détecter comment l'imaginaire italien de Cocteau est né, ainsi que de retracer l'historique des relations qu'il a entretenues avec l'Italie. Dans la deuxième partie, elle aborde le domaine cinématographique dans sa spécificité, également sousun double aspect. D'une part, à travers l'analyse des commentaires que Cocteau a écrits après sa découverte des films italiens, pour pouvoir dégager sa conception de ce cinéma sous une forme générale, et comprendre son intérêt pour certains de ses protagonistes en particulier. D'autre part, elle retrace et analyse la place que la presse spécialisée italienne a accordé à son oeuvre dans l'univers cinématographique du Bel Paese. Enfin, la troisième partie examine les liens concrets que Cocteau a noués avec trois cinéastes italiens : Roberto Rossellini pour l'adaptation cinématographique de La Voix humaine; Luciano Emmer, pour la rédaction et la lecture des commentaires français de Venise et ses amants et de La Légende de Sainte Ursule; enfin Michelangelo Antonioni pour la réalisation de son Mystère d'Oberwald, adaptation de la pièce de théâtre L'Aigle à deux têtes.

[EN] Control tools for Photographic Heritage This doctoral thesis tries to give an overview and provide solutions to a latent problem in Spanish photography scene: control tools for photographic heritage. The control of photographic heritage should aim to answer questions about what the Spanish photographic heritage is, which funds and collections compose, who guards this photographic heritage of our country, in what condition is and what access possibilities for researchers to consult primary sources of photography. In summary, responses that help us reconstruct the history of photography in Spain. To approach the set of photographic images that make up the national photographic heritage, we must first connect concepts that the history of photography has been responsible for separating: Traditionally we assume the heritage value of photography for their artistic value, but we have to add the historical values , documentaries, social, anthropological, etc., in short, all those values that contribute to compose the cultural identity through photography. The specific objectives are, therefore, to know what national or surrounding countries studies have been done on the photographic heritage, and from which institutions have promoted these studies and the results obtained. Likewise, the documentary sciences managing this documentary heritage from the point of view of the archivist, proposals for standardization and national legislation that affects our work directly or indirectly are analyzed too. Finally, all these questions lead us to a proposed collection of information on photographic documentary collections around the country, and analyze the results obtained in the dFoto project. The content of chapters is: 1. POLICY FRAMEWORK, PROJECT ON GLOBAL EQUITY DOCUMENTARY AND PROPOSALS FOR STANDARDIZATION. For proper management of photographic heritage is necessary to know the evolution and international standards setting, the standards adopted by the Spanish institutions for the management of photographic materials, communications and European recommendations for preservation and digitization, etc. 2. CONTROL STRATEGIES OF PHOTOGRAPHIC HERITAGE IN EUROPE. A necessary starting point for any study that seeks to delimit the field of action on the photographic heritage, should make a preliminary review of the main problems affecting the photographic heritage, by analyzing control plans photographic heritage of prestigious institutions, strategic plans followed by different European countries: establishment of national centers of photography, cultural policies, etc. 3. STATE OF SPANISH PHOTOGRAPHIC HERITAGE. In order to understand the current situation of the national photographic heritage, it is necessary to make a complete review of photography in our country. From the studies on the history of photography in Spain and the development of local histories of photography, to draft local guide-inventory holdings and collections of photography, reviewing the situation of the responsible centers for ensuring the photographic heritage. 4. ARCHIVE PHOTO MANAGEMENT FUNDS. A very important part of the thesis is archival photographic collections management, analyzing each of the phases of the documentary treatment, from admission to the distribution of documents. 5. DIRECTORY OF ARCHIVES AND COLLECTIONS OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN SPAIN. Finally, the development of a guide-inventory of photographic heritage of the whole Spanish State through the experience of dFoto project, noting the strategy of the different phases of the project and the results obtained. CONCLUSION To conclude the necessary lines were drawn to address the various issues surrounding the Spanish photographic heritage and a global vision for management.
[ES] Herramientas de Control del Patrimonio Fotográfico Este trabajo de tesis doctoral trata de dar una visión de conjunto y aportar soluciones a una problemática latente en el panorama de la fotografía en España: las herramientas de control del patrimonio fotográfico. El control del patrimonio fotográfico debe aspirar a responder cuestiones acerca de en qué consiste el patrimonio fotográfico español, qué fondos y colecciones lo componen, quién custodia este patrimonio fotográfico de nuestro país, en qué estado de conservación se encuentra y qué posibilidades de acceso tienen los investigadores para consultar fuentes primarias de fotografía. Para acercarnos al conjunto de imágenes fotográficas que componen el patrimonio fotográfico nacional, debemos primeramente unir conceptos que la historia de la fotografía se ha encargado de separar: asumimos tradicionalmente el valor patrimonial de la fotografía por su valor artístico, pero hemos de añadirle los valores históricos, documentales, sociales, antropológicos, etc., en definitiva todos aquellos valores que contribuyen a componer la identidad cultural a través de la fotografía. Los objetivos específicos son, conocer qué estudios nacionales o de países de nuestro entorno se han hecho sobre el patrimonio fotográfico, y desde qué instituciones se han fomentado estos estudios. También se analizan las ciencias documentales que gestionan este patrimonio documental desde el punto de vista de la archivística, las propuestas de estandarización y la legislación nacional que le afecta directa o indirectamente. Finalmente, se plantea una propuesta de recopilación de información sobre los conjuntos documentales fotográficos de todo el territorio nacional, a través del proyecto dFoto. El contenido por capítulos es: 1. MARCO NORMATIVO, PROYECTOS GLOBALES SOBRE PATRIMONIO DOCUMENTAL Y PROPUESTAS DE ESTANDARIZACIÓN. Para una correcta gestión del patrimonio fotográfico es necesario conocer la evolución y fijación de estándares internacionales, los estándares adoptados por las instituciones españolas para la gestión de los materiales fotográficos, las comunicaciones y recomendaciones europeas sobre preservación y acceso, etc. 2. ESTRATEGIAS DE CONTROL DEL PATRIMONIO FOTOGRÁFICO EN EUROPA. Un punto de partida necesario para todo estudio que trate de delimitar el campo de actuación sobre el patrimonio fotográfico, debe hacer una revisión previa de los principales problemas que afectan al patrimonio fotográfico, mediante el análisis de los planes de control del patrimonio fotográfico de instituciones de prestigio, planes estratégicos seguidos por diferentes países europeos: creación de centros nacionales de fotografía, políticas culturales, etc. 3. SITUACIÓN DEL PATRIMONIO FOTOGRÁFICO ESPAÑOL. Para llegar a entender la situación actual del patrimonio fotográfico nacional, es necesario hacer una revisión completa de la fotografía en nuestro país. Desde los estudios sobre la historia de la fotografía en España y la elaboración de historias locales de la fotografía, hasta los proyectos de guía-inventario locales de fondos y colecciones de fotografía, repasando la situación de los centros encargados de velar por el patrimonio fotográfico. 4. GESTIÓN ARCHIVÍSTICA DE FONDOS FOTOGRÁFICOS. Una parte muy importante de la tesis la constituye la gestión archivística de fondos fotográficos, analizando cada una de las fases del tratamiento documental, desde el ingreso de documentos hasta la difusión, teniendo en cuenta su aplicación. 5. DIRECTORIO DE FONDOS Y COLECCIONES DE FOTOGRAFÍA EN ESPAÑA. Finalmente, se tratará la elaboración de una guía-inventario del patrimonio fotográfico de todo el Estado español a través de la experiencia del proyecto dFoto, señalando la estrategia de las distintas fases del proyecto y los resultados obtenidos. CONCLUSIÓN En conclusión se trazarán las líneas necesarias para abordar las di
[CAT] Eines de Control del Patrimoni Fotogràfic Aquest treball de tesi doctoral tracta de donar una visió de conjunt i aportar solucions a una problemàtica latent al panorama de la fotografia a Espanya: les eines de control del patrimoni fotogràfic. L'objectiu del control del patrimoni fotogràfic haurà de respondre qüestions en relació a en què consisteix el patrimoni fotogràfic espanyol, quins fons i col·leccions ho componen, qui custodia aquest patrimoni fotogràfic del nostre país, en quin estat de conservació es troba i quines possibilitats d'accés tenen els investigadors per consultar fonts primàries de fotografia. Per apropar-nos al conjunt d'imatges fotogràfiques que componen el patrimoni fotogràfic nacional, primerament haurem d'unir conceptes que la història de la fotografia s'ha encarregat de separar: assumim tradicionalment el valor patrimonial de la fotografia pel seu valor artístic; però hem d'afegir-li els valors històrics, documentals, socials, antropològics, etc., tots aquells valors que contribueixen a compondre la identitat cultural a través de la fotografia. Els objectius específics són, per tant, conèixer quins estudis nacionals o de països del nostre entorn s'han fet en relació al patrimoni fotogràfic, i quines institucions han fomentat aquests estudis. També s'analitzen les ciències documentals que gestionen aquest patrimoni documental des del punt de vista de l'arxivística, les propostes d'estandardització i la legislació nacional que li afecta directa o indirectament. Finalment, es planteja una proposta de recopilació d'informació pel que fa als conjunts documentals fotogràfics de tot el territori nacional, afegint la revisió dels resultats obtinguts al projecte dFoto. El contingut per capítols: 1. ÀMBIT NORMATIU, PROJECTES GLOBALS SOBRE PATRIMONI DOCUMENTAL I PROPOSTES D'ESTANDARDITZACIÓ. Per tal de fer una correcta gestió del patrimoni fotogràfic és necessari conèixer l'evolució i fixació d'estàndards internacionals, els estàndards adoptats per les institucions espanyoles per a la gestió dels materials fotogràfics, les comunicacions i recomanacions europees en quant a la preservació i el seu accés, etc. 2. ESTRATÈGIES DE CONTROL DEL PATRIMONI FOTOGRÀFIC A EUROPA. Un punt de partida necessari per a tot estudi que tingui com a objectiu delimitar el camp d'actuació sobre el patrimoni fotogràfic, ha de fer una revisió prèvia dels principals problemes que afecten al patrimoni fotogràfic, mitjançant l'anàlisi dels plans de control del patrimoni fotogràfic d'institucions de prestigi, plans estratègics seguits per diferents països europeus: creació de centres nacionals de fotografia, polítiques culturals, etc. 3. SITUACIÓ DEL PATRIMONI FOTOGRÀFIC ESPAÑOL. Per a poder entendre la situació actual del patrimoni fotogràfic nacional, és necessari fer una revisió completa de la fotografia al nostre país. Començant pels estudis en relació a la història de la fotografia a Espanya i l'elaboració d'històries locals de la fotografia, fins als projectes de guia-inventari locals de fons i col·leccions de fotografia, repassant la situació dels centres encarregats de vetllar pel patrimoni fotogràfic. 4. GESTIÓ ARXIVÍSTICA DE FONS FOTOGRÀFICS. Una part molt important de la tesi es troba en aquest punt, on es tracta la gestió arxivística de fons fotogràfics, analitzant cadascuna de les fases del tractament documental, des de l'ingrés de documents fins a la difusió, tenint en compte la seua aplicació. 5. DIRECTORI DE FONS I COL·LECCIONS DE FOTOGRAFIA A ESPANYA. Finalment, es tractarà l'elaboració d'una guia-inventari del patrimoni fotogràfic de tot l'Estat espanyol partint de l'experiència del projecte dFoto, assenyalant l'estratègia als diferents estadis del projecte i els resultats obtinguts. CONCLUSIÓ Com a conclusió es perfilaran les línies necessàries per a treballar les diferents problemàtiques que envolten al patrimoni fo
