Abstract:

<p> Cultural aspects of South Korea fueled my artistic production for my Master of Fine Arts Project exhibition, <i>Desire.</i> The images of palaces, dollhouses, and castles that I depicted not only represented social expectations of wealth and social standing, but also fantasies many Koreans have about what it means to be successful a "desire" for wealth and improved social standing. With relief printed imagery, I created an environment where viewers walked through a labyrinth-like path, experiencing the fluid motion of psychological space. I aimed to visualize the acute societal pressures,

Abstract:

This thesis analyses the ways in which desire has been traditionally configured in terms of its relation to both being and becoming. Techniques for the domestication of desire through idealized concepts of community, the subject, the body, life and ethics, are analyzed in respect of their transcendental construction and the practices of power which they legitimate. The critical texts of Immanuel Kant are taken as the primary focus of an attempt to separate the negative values implicit in Humanism from the positive project of Enlightenment thinking. This separation, it is argued, effects a reco

Abstract:

One could think of Catholicism as being about the control of desire. Desire is dangerous and disturbing and so the Church helps us tame this force in our lives. But that is only half the story. There is another, albeit less prominent, strand of the tradition of the Church that invites us to deepen our desires, to touch their hidden longings, and to liberate desire in recognition of its ultimate goal. that of relationship with the God who is racked with desire for us. My purpose in this thesis is first to show the centrality of desire for Catholic theology. Second, to begin to explore a specifi

The concept of desire has been central to most recent philosophical debates, in various forms and styles.

Chapter 2 analyses the thematic and imagistic portrayal of the love relationship present in the poems written during early womanhood, and establishes a link between sexuality and textuality.

Driven by the crippling command of Eros, my work provides a veiled exposure to my secret life in love, desire, fear, and obsession. My sculptures are the physical evidence of an emotional realm coming forth in a coded language that is, even to me, only remotely accessible. The Demon that Lives in My Bedroom, the saga of the Cat People, the stories of Trasnichi and the Love Crusade; all came to me in a beam of thought. Once the beam takes hold, it becomes my obsession, and the era of that work begins. I can trace my development through these eras of obsessions.

The main goal is to assert Thomas' place amongst the modernist literati, of which most were heavily influenced by Freud, as well as to be an acknowledgement of his work without considering his biography.

It is a familiar tenet that desires and beliefs have opposite directions of fit.

This is significant because learning to desire well is central to living a Christian life, and because advertising influences how many pe
