Abstract:

This project explores the idea of dream sharing and how language is both a tool and a barrier for sharing dream experiences. I collected video and audio dream diaries from 15 different people and stitched together a "collective" dream that contains elements from each. From this new dream, I pulled words and displayed them as text on-screen. What is the relationship from the listener and the actual dream experience? Can we truly experience the dreams of others?

Abstract:

Exploring the theme of Diaspora, this paper is an accompanying document for the documentary, A Dream Lost in Dream. It sheds light on the purpose, and process of producing this documentary. The main purpose for the production of this documentary has been described as initiation of healthy and casual dialog between diverse populations in America. It emphasizes the importance of creating visual media targeting masses rather than the elite. It is argued that it can act as a tool of awareness, reducing anxiety in the society. It also embarks on the production journey of the documentary A Dream Lost in Dream. The film is a portrayal of an East Indian immigrant struggling between economic survival, family issues and passion to fly.

Abstract:

This PhD by practice is an attempt to understand personal archives through filmmaking, and the kind of knowledge we can extract from them as well as how we can connect them to a wider social and political context. These questions are the core of my research and are explored in their different ways through both the film/practice and dissertation. I have chosen to make a film about my absent grandfather and his lost relationship with my mother during Fascist Portugal between the 1940s and the 1960s. Family archives have been largely used in films as a way of documenting realities, in the same way as any other public archival footage. In this instance, I tried to explore family and official archives acknowledging their contradictions and omissions with a view to finding a new “way of knowing” that is more closely connected to our emotions. I believe we all own a family archive regardless of its form. I named this archive “the subjective archive” and in it, I include physical archives such as paper documents, photographs and films, as well as a more intangible archive, which includes our memories, the stories we tell and listen to (oral history) and our dreams. The progression of the film is closely related to my journey as I become immersed in the story and learn things through many layers of archive documents. As a conclusion, I argue that these invisible elements of the subjective archive contain truth independent of their indexical nature, whereas physical documents can mislead us.

Dhillon, Komal Kaur. "Brown Skin, White Dreams: Pigmentocracy in India." Diss., Virginia Tech, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/73702.

Full text

Abstract:

Pigmentocracy or colorism refers to the practice of intraracial groups applying a preferential valuation to lighter skin, resulting in a system of contextual privileges and discriminations based on skin color. In India, this phenomenon is informed by numerous factors, including colonialism, the caste system, media, cultural practices, and patriarchy. The fundamental forces contributing to pigmentocracy are explored independently as well as in conjunction with each other in order to elucidate the multifaceted aspects of social organization in India, specifically, the larger effects of imperialism, capitalism, globalization, racism, and sexism as they relate to colorist ideology. Everyday practices and attitudes informed by caste, class, religion, language, region, and customs are also examined in relation to pigmentocracy. Although there are numerous mechanisms that contribute to the complexity of examining pigmentocracy, larger patterns also prevail that allow for a comprehensive understanding of how pigmentocratic notions influence and are influenced by multiple background and demographic conditions. Benefits for those who are on the lighter end of the skin color spectrum are recognized and leveraged in accordance with the systemic logic of being naturally superior. Conversely, often those on the darker end of the spectrum are perceived as inferior, thus perpetuating the superiority of whiteness. Pigmentocracy is detrimental psychologically, physically, and socioeconomically due to the ways in which darker skin is often viewed (by society, media, lighter individuals as well as darker people who subscribe to the belief that white is better) as less attractive, less valuable, less pure, and less clean. For those perceived to be darker, the consequences can include violence, marginalization, and discrimination in areas of employment, education, government, access to resources, psychological trauma, disparities in marital opportunities and conceived notions of beauty, and underrepresentation in media.

Hart, Anne Glenisla. "Selling the American Dream: The Comic Underdog in American Film." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2017. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/6313.

Full text

Abstract:

Placing archetypal "underdogs" or "losers" in the roles of protagonists allows and encourages the viewer to identify with them or understand them as an idealized Other, though the audience may differ from the failure protagonist in social class, gender, or any other condition. In film, one of the most persuasive and ubiquitous media of the 20th century, underdog and weakling characters germinated in early popular comedies such as those by Charlie Chaplin and the other silent clowns. Using Chaplin's filmography to illustrate the underdog's ironic supremacy, this thesis aims to unravel the initial values and expectations inherent in Hollywood underdog comedy films, trace these components to their paradoxical political and economic roots, and draw conclusions on their social and economic consequences.

Rickards, Meg Frances. "Screening interiority : dream, the unconscious, emotion and imagination in cinematic language." Doctoral thesis, University of Cape Town, 2007. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/14646.

Full text

Abstract:

The portrayal of film characters' inner experience ensures a level of audience engagement often precluded in primarily plot-driven narratives. Yet, there is a prevailing notion that interiority is the exclusive domain of literature. To counter this pedagogy, the thesis explores how filmmakers can externalise dream; the unconscious; emotional journeys, and the realm of the imagination through cinematic language. The study draws on a theoretical framework that incorporates psychoanalytic film theory, neo-formalism and literary theory, and which engages to some extent with authorship. The compatibilist methodological approach draws on these modes of analysis, while systematically bridging theory and practice. The thesis dovetails with a creative component - the screenplay of Zinzi and the Boondogle, a children's feature film. Through this case study, the thesis examines the largely undocumented relationship between film theory and analysis on the one hand, and screenwriting and film production on the other. The research explores a number of areas germane to the screenplay, starting by uncovering innovative ways in which dreams can illuminate character interiority. It finds that animation, in its ability to render visible the metaphysical, is a compelling means of screening inner processes. Jan Svankmajer blends live action filmmaking with animation to bespeak the interpenetration of the conscious and unconscious realms. Hayao Miyazaki uses anime to construct otherworldly realms that reflect adolescent girls' rites of passage. In films that draw on African storytelling, animation is shown to make manifest the imaginative realm. Finally, the adaptation of the screenplay Zinzi and the Boondogle into a novel tests ways in which cinema and literature can divergently - but equally - evoke characters' interior lives. The thesis counters the pedagogy which insists that film is suited only to external action. Rather, the research reveals potent cinematic means of evoking oneiric and fantasy lives - bridging the traditional chasm between film theory and praxis and inviting further meetings between these discourses.

Abuhassan, Lama. "Screen architecture : a phenomenology of dread atmospheres in thriller films." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2018. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/115023/.

Full text

Abstract:

By looking at thriller films, and establishing their relationship to suspense, my thesis examines the construction of dread atmosphere and how it enables the viewer to become part of that atmosphere. The aim of the thesis is to develop a comprehensive reading of the atmosphere of dread by adopting the approach of phenomenology, and through an investigation and analysis of its definition of the process of embodiment, in order to identify some of the atmospheric corporeal situations in dread spaces that are used to increase the corporeality of the viewer, so as to ultimately reveal the experience of suspense. By doing that, this thesis elaborates on Hanich’s analysis and description of cinematic dread’s atmosphere. The thesis builds a structure of embodiment based on Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception and on the work of other phenomenologists from different fields including film, architecture and video games, to create a framework whereby the viewer’s embodiment with the screen is understood. In addition, it adopts Shīrāzī’s approach of Phenomenal Phenomenology to read a dread scene from the Silence of the Lambs phenomenologically. This reading identified new atmospheric corporeal situations, named as quasi-things in Griffero’s terms, which have not previously been discussed in the context of film under the framework of the phenomenology of text, of transparency and of surveillance. The research found that any situation that is linked with the senses, such as through ‘sensorimotor verbs’ and ‘sensorial transparency’, is experienced more corporeally, consciously, affectively, and eventually increases the sense of embodiment. The researcher extends the conception of these phenomena by means of a horizontal reading of other films to make the observations more objective and generalizable to thrillers in general and the dread atmosphere in specific. The significance of my research lies in making a contribution to the understanding of the kinesthetic experience of cinematic space and to promoting its potential in theorising related arts such as architecture, Virtual Reality, and video games.

Full text

Abstract:

This project chronicles an in-depth character study on the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope in film. The term was coined in 2007 by a film critic about a very specific kind of female character—one who exists “solely in the fevered imaginations of sensitive writer-directors to teach broodingly soulful young men to embrace life and its infinite mysteries and adventures.” The MPDG has often been written off as nothing more than a stereotype or sexist characterization of a woman, but I argue that the MPDG can be much more than a flat character, as evidenced by the increasingly complex characterization of the MPDG in independent film. Based on case studies of several films, I discuss how the MPDG has grown from a supporting archetype into a well-rounded and multi-dimensional character. Based on a history of female depiction in film, a discussion of the critical interpretations of the MPDG, and these case studies, I argue that the MPDG has the potential to exist as a complex and realistic character rather than just an archetype.

Abstract:

In this thesis we consider cinema’s representations of mental images. Our central concerns are the formal aspects of the presentation of memory and imagination, and the various functions which the different types of mental images perform. While along the way we engage with a number of expedient theories, on the whole the argument is free of any over-arching theoretical approach, instead focusing largely on the evidence of the wide range of films — from different eras, genres and national cinemas — with which we engage. We begin with a consideration of filmic representations of memory, tackling such questions as: What exactly is a flashback? What different functions do flashbacks perform? What is the relationship between flashback and the mental images of memory? Identifying an inadequacy in current terminology, we here introduce the concept of ‘act of memory’ in order to distinguish between representations of the past which constitute an analogue of the mental images of memory and more properly subjective representations of mental images. In Part II we develop a taxonomy of the major forms of imagination. Here our discussion of imagination draws on cognitive and phenomenological theories of imagination, and the chapter on dreams draws substantially on Freud. In our consideration of the functions of the various sorts of mental images we establish a series of character types who are prone to experiencing mental images. Throughout Part II we argue that representations of mental images are often closely related to themes of madness — that many representations of mental images can be understood as traces of madness.

Desu, Chandra S. "Chemically modified Ta₂O₅ thin films for dynamic random access memory (DRAM) applications." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 1998. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/36925.

Abstract:

Increasing demand for high-density memories has necessitated the search for new materials with higher dielectric constants to satisfy the minimum charge storage density requirements. Several materials such as Ta₂O₅, BST¹, BBT² are being investigated to replace the currently used Si based oxide/nitride dielectrics. Among the materials under investigation, Ta₂O₅ is one of the most promising, especially from the fab compatibility point of view. Ta₂O₅ thin films offer a six-fold increase in dielectric constant compared to conventional dielectrics. However, the significant improvement in dielectric constant is offset by higher leakage currents compared to conventional dielectrics. Improvement in both, dielectric and insulating properties is required for the successful integration of Ta₂O₅ thin films into devices. In the current research work, it was demonstrated that by chemically modifying the tantalum pentoxide matrix, significant improvements in its electrical properties can be achieved which would enable the fabrication of a reliable high-density memory device. In the present work, the effects of Al addition on Ta₂O₅ thin films were systematically studied. The structural and electrical properties of these chemically modified thin films were investigated in detail to establish their potential for device applications. The effects on dielectric and insulating characteristics due to incorporation of Al in Ta₂O₅ matrix were studied in capacitor configuration. A metallorganic solution decomposition (MOSD) technique was used to deposit thin films onto Pt coated Si(100) substrates. The capacitors were fabricated by sputter depositing Pt electrodes on the top surface of the films. The dielectric and insulating properties of pure and modified Ta₂O₅ thin films and their dependence on film composition, processing temperature, and the thickness were discussed and an attempt was made to provide theoretical understanding for the experimental observations. The dielectric and insulating properties of Ta₂O₅ were found to be significantly modified by addition of Al. It was observed that Al addition has decreased the leakage currents approximately by an order of magnitude and improved thermal and bias stability characteristics of Ta₂O₅ capacitors. For example, the leakage currents in crystalline pure Ta₂O₅ thin films were found to be 4.5 x 10⁷ A/cm² in a 1MV/cm dc field which decreased to 3.4 x 10⁸ A/cm² for 10% Al modified Ta₂O₅ thin films. A typical dielectric constant of 42.5 was obtained for 10% Al modified Ta₂O₅ thin films. This is significantly higher compared to the commonly reported dielectric constant of 25 to 35 for Ta₂O₅ thin films. This enhancement was attributed to strong (100) orientation exhibited by both pure and modified Ta₂O₅ thin films. The high dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, low leakage currents and low temperature coefficient of capacitance suggest the suitability of Al modified Ta₂O₅ as a capacitor dielectric for future generation DRAM applications. ¹Barium strontium titanate, ²Barium bismuth tantalate

Full text

Abstract:

This study examines contemporary Hollywood by focusing on films made between 1990 and 2010. With chapters on the double, war trauma, the undead, and automata, I delineate evidence of the uncanny within individual films along with the underlying contradictions that symptomatically respond to the larger economic conditions and industrial practices that shape the contemporary period. Each of the four chapters also serve as an occasion to analyze theoretical and thematic concerns drawn from Sigmund Freud's 1919 essay on the uncanny. Throughout the project there is a strong effort to link Freud's initial account to subsequent theoretical developments with a particular emphasis on introducing the work of Jacques Derrida. The cumulative aim of these efforts is provide a critical foundation for analyzing the latent disorientation within the practices of contemporary Hollywood and capitalist society more generally.

Johnson, Kinley. "Bridging the Fantastical Gap: Dread and the Uncanny in the Score of "It Follows"." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2020. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1703402/.

Full text

Abstract:

"It Follows" (2014), written and directed by David Robert Mitchell, premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 2014. It chronicles the story of Jay, a college student who contracts a curse through sexual intercourse. The curse manifests itself as a human whom only the infected persons can see, always following at a walking pace, and determined to kill if it catches up. This thesis demonstrates the score's crucial role in establishing affect, setting, and character in a film with sparse dialogue and a silent monster. Moreover, the score creates a sense of the uncanny by complicating the binary between music and sound effect and fulfills the need to create dread without resorting to the loud or sudden sounds traditionally heard in horror films. The score's composer, Richard Vreeland, achieves this effect by drawing on both classical film scoring techniques as well as more modern horror scoring styles. It is this interaction between styles that enhances the viewers' experience of dread and horror in the film. This thesis analyzes how Vreeland's score for "It Follows" exploits the poetics of the fantastical gap, of the uncanny, and of musical semiosis. I primarily focus on the "Heels" theme and use of drones in "It Follows," tracing how these musical features blur the distinction between what is score and what is sound effect. I also examine the use of melodic themes in a primarily non-melodic score. By analyzing these elements, I show how Richard Vreeland uses both classical and modern scoring techniques to answer his own question: "Why is this scary? What could push that emotion even further?"

Abstract:

This written thesis is a companion to a 30-minute documentary video of the same title. The documentary is a presentation of the historical conflict between the United States Navy and the people of the island of Vieques, Puerto Rico. For over 60 years the island was used by the United States Navy as a military training facility. The documentary attempts to present an analysis of the struggle between citizens of the island and the Navy. This written component presents a summarized history of Puerto Rico, Vieques and the conflict with the United States Navy. In addition, the preproduction, production and post-production process of the documentary are discussed. A theoretical analysis of the filmmaker's approach and technique are addressed and analyzed as well. The thesis's goal is to provide a clear understanding of the Vieques conflict to United States audiences who do not a familiarity with the topic. The thesis is presented from the perspective of a person who grew up in Puerto Rico.

Abstract:

La cellule memoire DRAM embarquée conventionnelle doit faire face aux contraintes de la miniaturisation tant au niveau du transistor d’accès que de la capacité de stockage. Les solutions technologiques proposées aujourd’hui induisent un procédé de fabrication complexe et coûteux ainsi qu’une perte de densité. Dans cette optique des solutions alternatives apparaissent comme la solution DRAM embarquée sans capacité. Ces architectures utilisent un transistor pour stocker et amplifier les données. Elles possèdent un substrat flottant dans lequel la charge mémoire est stockée. Dans la course à la miniaturisation, le film mince reste aujourd’hui un candidat potentiel pour le noeud technologique 22nm et au delà. Dans cette optique, la potentialité du film mince en tant que DRAM embarquée sans capacité reste une priorité. Ce travail de thèse étudie le concept de cellule memoire DRAM embarquée sans capacité sur film mince. Dans un premier temps, des caracterisations électriques du dispositif FDSOI sont menées permettant de mettre en évidence les mécanismes de programmation possibles. Ensuite une modélisation approfondie est proposée pour rendre compte de tous les phénomènes physiques ayant cours lors des opérations mémoires. Basé sur une approche en charge, ce modèle calibré par des simulations TCAD, tient compte de tous les effets parasites liés a la miniaturisation: les effets canaux courts et les effets quantiques. L’etude est poursuivie par la modélisation du comportement dynamique de ces architectures memoires. Il est utilisé par la suite à travers un plan d’expérience pour déterminer quels sont les paramètres technologiques ayant le plus d’impact sur les specificités de la mémoire : comme l’amplitude, le temps de rétention, les temps de programmation et d’effacement. Enfin la réalisation technologique d’une architecture aàdouble grille indépendante est exposée. Elle permet de résoudre la problématique de sélectivité à l’effacement de l’architecture mémoire FDSOI
Conventional embedded DRAM memory has to cope with miniaturization of access transistor and storage capacitor. Technological solutions proposed today lead to complex manufacturing process and density loss. In this context, emerging solutions appear such as embedded DRAM without additional storage element. These architectures use only one transistor to amplify and store the data. Memory charge is stored in a floating substrate. In miniaturization race, thin film device remains relevant candidate for 22 nm technology node and beyond. This thesis explores thin film transistor potential as capacitorless embedded DRAM. In a first step, electrical characteristics are carried out on FDSOI devices to demonstrate the possible programming mechanisms. Then a modeling is proposed taking into account physical phenomena occurring during memory operations. Based on a charge approach, the model is calibrated with SWB simulations. Main parasitic effects related to miniaturization, Short Channel Effects and Quantum Effects are detailed. The study is following by the modeling of dynamic memory behaviour until data retention. The model is subsequently used throug a Design Of Experiment to evaluate technological parameters impact on memory characteristics like amplitude, data retention, write and erase time. Finally, Independent Double Gate transistor proposed to solve selectivity issue of FDSOI erasing operation is discussed and technological process step are exposed

Abstract:

In this study, barium strontium titanate (BST) thin films with different compositions (Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3, Ba0.8Sr0.2TiO3, Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3, Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3) were produced by chemical solution deposition technique. BST solutions were prepared by dissolving barium acetate, strontium acetate and titanium isopropoxide in acetic acid and adding ethylene glycol as a chelating agent and stabilizer to this solution, at molar ratio of acetic acid/ethylene glycol, 3:1. The solution was then coated on Si and Pt//Ti/SiO2/Si substrates at 4000 rpm for 30 seconds. Crack-free films were obtained up to 600 nm thickness after 3 coating &
#8211
pyrolysis cycles by using 0.4M solutions. Crystal structure of the films was determined by x-ray diffraction while morphological properties of the surface and the film-substrate interface was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Dielectric constant, dielectric loss and ferroelectric parameters of the films were measured. Sintering temperature, film composition and the thickness of the films were changed in order to observe the effect of these parameters on the measured electrical properties. The dielectric constant of the films was decreased slightly in 1kHz-1 MHz range. It was seen that dielectric constant and loss of the films was comparable to chemical solution deposition derived films on literature. Maximum dielectric constant was obtained for the Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 composition at a sintering temperature of 800&
#730
C for duration of 3 hours. Dielectric constant increased whereas dielectric loss decreased with increasing film thickness. BST films have composition dependent Curie temperature. For Ba content greater than 70 %, the material is in ferroelectric state. However, fine grain size of the films associated with chemical solution deposition and Sr doping causes the suppression of ferroelectric behaviour in BST films. Therefore, only for Ba0.9Sr0.1TiO3 composition, slim hysteresis loops with very low remanent polarization values were obtained.

Abstract:

Ever since the birth of the film medium, stories about drugs and addiction have been produced. There is a fascination with the lifestyle, the effects of drugs and the ways in which it can be portrayed on the screen. The thesis starts off by giving an historical context, ranging from the late 19th Century and up until today, describing how the society and the public have treated the subject and how the narrative mirrors these attitudes. The purpose of the thesis is to take a closer look at this recurrent theme. Eleven fictional films produced between the 1980’s and 2000’s have been chosen and psychoanalytical film theory is used to analyze the ways in which the addict is represented; how filmic disgust and the abject makes the characters tread over physical and social boundaries and how the effect of the drug have the character tread over mental boundaries through dreams and hallucinations.

Abstract:

Cette thèse se propose d’analyser les différents aspects de l'art de R. Magritte dans son interdisciplinarité. Le premier chapitre prend comme point de départ le versant philosophique et linguistique que l’on peut remarquer dans son œuvre, pour analyser de façon détaillée les aspects mimétiques et sémiotiques. L'utilisation que fait Magritte de certaines formes de la rhétorique rend évidente l'importance de l'aspect graphémique du mot, gouverné par le visible. La coïncidence entre les deux contraires (sémiosis et mimesis) laisse percevoir l'espace qui les sépare. D'un point de vue comparatiste, cet entrelacs permet d’établir des rapports entre certaines œuvres littéraires (de Baudelaire et de Mallarmé, notamment) et des titres ou des représentations dans les œuvres de Magritte. Les mots deviennent des images et le rôle de la mémoire et du rêve trouve un écho dans la pensée de R. Caillois. L'artiste place le passé, le présent et le futur dans un réseau qui peut être mis en parallèle avec l'Atlas de Warburg. Dans cette mosaïque, le geste d’écrire et celui de peindre s’entrelacent, de telle sorte que, chez Magritte, la distinction entre les deux actions s’efface dans la libre association du visible, qui acquiert ainsi un sens nouveau. Cette négation et cet écart se fondent en un seul contenant qui, d’un côté, exalte la différence mais qui, de l’autre, se construit à partir de sa propre appartenance. Certaines créations de R. Magritte dans le domaine de l'illustration ou de la production filmique le révèlent. On assiste à la décomposition et à la recomposition, par le biais de l'humour, de réalités distantes entre elles, ce qui laisse entrevoir la frange minime de l’écart
This thesis aims at analyzing Magritte’s multifarious artistry in the light of its interdisciplinarity. The first chapter starts from the philosophical and linguistic côté that can be found in his work in order to deeply explore its figurative and semiotic aspects. The use of rhetorical forms in Magritte clearly shows the importance of the graphemic character of the word, dominated by the mimetic sign. The encounter, or rather the coincidence, between the two opposites (mimesis and semiosis) discloses the space that separates them: the nowhere we tried to define through various instruments. From a comparative point of view, this space of separation shows various literary ties (especially with Baudelaire and Mallarmé) inherent in the titles and in the representations of Magritte work. The words become images and the role of memory and dream attuned to the thought of R. Caillois. The artist constructs a network with the past, the present and the future, which suggests a parallelism with Warburg’s Atlas. In this mosaic, the gesture of writing mixes with the painting; similarly in Magritte the distinction between the two actions is cancelled through the free re-signified association of the visible.The painter destroys and builds at the same time, superimposing appearances, so to move away from a faithful description of reality. This rejection produces a gap in which the content of words and images fuses into a single element: page–canvas–screen. This is what some of Magritte’s creations reveal in their illustrative and film transposition, in which we see the assembling and disassembling of distant realities through the use of humor that reveals their thin divide
Questa tesi si propone di analizzare i molteplici punti di vista di Magritte alla luce della sua interdisciplinarità. Il primo capitolo si basa sul côté filosofico e linguistico rintracciabile nella sua opera, per esplorarne nel dettaglio l’aspetto figurativo e semiotico. L’utilizzo delle forme retoriche in Magritte mostra con evidenza l’importanza del carattere grafemico della parola, sovrastato dal segno mimetico. L’incontro, o meglio la coincidenza, tra i due contrari (semiosis e mimesis) lascia apparire lo spazio che li separa: il non luogo a cui abbiamo cercato di dare una definizione. Da un punto di vista comparatista questo scarto mostra vari legami letterari (soprattutto con Baudelaire e Mallarmé) insiti nei titoli e nelle rappresentazioni delle produzioni magrittiane. Le parole diventano immagini e il ruolo della memoria e del sogno trova un raccordo con il pensiero di R. Caillois. L’artista costruisce una rete con il passato, il presente e il futuro, che fa pensare a un parallelo con l’Atlas warburghiano. In questo mosaico il gesto di scrivere si mescola a quello di dipingere, cosicché in Magritte la distinzione tra le due azioni si annulla nella libera associazione risimbolizzata del visibile. Il pittore distrugge e costruisce al contempo, sovrapponendo le apparenze, in modo da annullare la mimesis stessa, nel senso di descrizione fedele della realtà. La negazione e lo scarto sorgono dalla loro fusione in un unico contenitore, che da una parte esalta la differenza ma che dall’altra vi costruisce sopra la propria appartenenza. È ciò che certe creazioni magrittiane rivelano in ambito illustrativo o filmico, dove assistiamo alla decomposizione e poi alla ricomposizione delle realtà distanti attraverso l’humour, che lascia intravedere lo spessore sottile di separazione

Abstract:

Cities involve several systems that work together as a network of urban relationships. These systems are in balance, and they work as a whole that articulates urban life.

But what makes a city memorable and special are its events: those magical situations where the uniformity of the experience stops and something unique arise.

Those are the moments where our memory is deeply engraved by a particular situation that will come back in our dreams and imaginative processes as an agent image.

Four urban events â a space for film edition and writing, an urban stage, a footage archive and park, and a projection space- whose locations have been determined by a Cartesian game dictated by the Plan of Washington DC; and one common discipline, Film, will be the main focus of this research and a way of understanding the relations among Memory and its spaces, Architecture and Film in the City.

Each event will respond to the particularities of its context by understanding first the sites and their relation with the city. These sites will be located in the four quadrants of Washington DC- NE, SE, SW and NW- and they will be consider as different communities that, by keeping their own idiosyncrasy, create one city.

The question of urban scale as well as the concept of detail as part of an architectural cosmology will be present throughout the process of the thesis by the alternation of micro and macro analysis of each stage of the research. The question of scale will be present as well when comparing the four projects with their differences in shape and size.

Characterization and monstrosity as architectural concepts will be incorporated into the project too, by understanding the role of Architecture in the city and what it wants to show or â monstrareâ to its inhabitants.

Abstract:

The aim of the thesis is to explore depictions of sexuality in popular science fiction film and television through a focus on storytelling, narrative, characters and genre. The thesis analyses science fiction as a film and television genre with a focus on the conventions, interpretations, and definitions of genre as part of larger contexts. Central to the argumentation is films and television series, from Star Wars and Star Trek, to Firefly and Torchwood. The approach allows a consideration of how the storytelling conventions of science fiction are, and have been, affected by its contexts. Through a consideration of a historical de-emphasis on narrative complexity and character formation in science fiction, the thesis displays and analyses a salient tendency towards juvenile and heteronormative narratives. This tendency is represented by a concept that I call the Star’verses, through which this dominant idea of science fiction as a juvenile, techno-centred, masculine, and heteronormative genre became firmly established. This generic cluster has remained a dominant influence on science fiction film and television since the 1980s. However, as argued, a major discursive shift took place in science fiction at the turn of the millennium. This adult turn in science fiction film, and television in particular, is attributed to contextual changes, but also to the influence of television dramaturgy. It explains why science fiction in the 21st century is not as unfamiliar with depictions of sexuality as its predecessors were. This turn does not signal a total abandonment of what the Star’verses represent; it instead contributes to a change to this dominant idea of the generic identity of science fiction. While sexuality has been disassociated from much science fiction, it is also argued that the science fiction narrative has extensive queer potential. Generic conventions, such as aliens and time travel, invite both queer readings and queer storytelling; the latter however is seldom used, especially in science fiction film. A majority of the examples of science fiction narrative that use this queer potential can be found in television. In cinema, however, this progression is remarkably slow. Therefore, the thesis analyses whether the storytelling techniques of Hollywood cinema, to which science fiction film owes much of its dramaturgy, could be considered heteronormative. A comparison is made to television dramaturgy in order to display the possibilities for the serialised, character-focused science fiction narrative. Ultimately, the thesis investigate the possibility for subversive storytelling and whether a normative use of dramaturgy needs to be overthrown in order to tell a subversive story.

Abstract:

Denna uppsats hanterar hur kvinnliga karaktärer porträtteras i romantisk komedi genom att närmare studera begreppet ”Manic Pixie Dream Girl”. Detta begrepp leder till missförstånd om kvinnans roll i filmens värld och skapar diskussioner om jämställdhet och västerländsk berättarkultur. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka två kvinnor i två olika romantiska komedier uppfyller de kriterier som nämns av Manic Pixie Dream Girl-begreppets myntare, Nathan Rabin, har lagt fram och om det således är motiverat att argumentera att karaktärerna upprätthåller sexistiska synsätt. Den teoretiska grund som uppsatsen bygger på kommer främst från feministisk teori, men även från Laura Mulveys teori om skopofili och den manliga blicken. För att analysera det utvalda materialet används en skräddarsydd karaktärsanalytisk metod. Resultatet visar att, trots att de kvinnliga karaktärerna må uppfylla några eller flera av de kriterier som Rabin ställer fram så innebär inte det direkt att karaktärerna är endimensionella och, i förlängning, overkliga porträtt av kvinnor i allmänhet.
This essay deals with how female characters are portrayed in romantic comedies by studying the "Manic Pixie Dream Girl"-phenomenon closer. This concept leads to misunderstandings about women's roles in the world of cinema and creates discussions about equality and Western storytelling. The purpose of this essay is to study two women in two different romantic comedies and study if they meet the criteria Nathan Rabin, the man who coined the term “Manic Pixie Dream Girl”, has announced to be qualities of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl and whether it is justified to argue that the female characters maintain sexist ideals. The theoretical basis on which the essay is based primarily comes from feminist theory, but also from Laura Mulvey’s theory of scopophilia and “the male gaze”. To analyze the selected material I have chosen to use a customized method of character analysis. The results show that, despite the fact that the female characters may meet some or more of the criteria Rabin have announced, the material does not directly imply that the characters are one-dimensional and, in extension, improbable and unreal portraits of women in general.

Abstract:

Durant les 5 dernières décennies, les technologies CMOS se sont imposées comme méthode de fabrication principale pour les circuits semi-conducteurs intégrés avec notamment le transistor MOSFET. Néanmoins, la miniaturisation de ces transistors en technologie CMOS sur substrat massif atteint ses limites et a donc été arrêtée. Les filières FDSOI apparaissent comme une excellente alternative permettant une faible consommation et une excellente maîtrise des effets électrostatiques dans les transistors MOS, même pour les nœuds technologiques 14 et 28 nm. Cependant, la pente sous le seuil (60 mV/décade) du MOSFET ne peut pas être améliorée, ce qui limite la réduction de la tension d’alimentation. Cette restriction a motivé la recherche de composants innovants pouvant offrir des déclenchements abrupts tels que le Z2-FET (Zéro pente sous le seuil et Zéro ionisation par impact), Z2-FET DGP (avec double Ground Plane) et Z3-FET (Zéro grille avant). Grace à leurs caractéristiques intéressantes (déclenchement abrupte, faible courant de fuite, tension de déclenchement ajustable, rapport de courant ION/IOFF élevé), les dispositifs à modulation de bandes peuvent être utilisés dans différentes applications. Dans ce travail, nous nous sommes concentrés sur la protection contre les décharges électrostatiques (ESD), la mémoire DRAM embarquée sans capacité de stockage, et les interrupteurs logiques. L’étude des mécanismes statique et transitoire ainsi que des performances de ces composants a été réalisée grâce à des simulations TCAD détaillées, validées systématiquement par des résultats expérimentaux. Un modèle de potentiel de surface pour les trois dispositifs est également fourni
During the past 5 decades, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology was the dominant fabrication method for semiconductor integrated circuits where Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) was and still is the central component. Nonetheless, the continued physical downscaling of these transistors in CMOS bulk technology is suffering limitations and has been stopped nowadays. Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator (FDSOI) technology appears as an excellent alternative that offers low-power consumption and improved electrostatic control for MOS transistors even in very advanced nodes (14 nm and 28 nm). However, the 60 mV/decade subthreshold slope of MOSFET is still unbreakable which limits the supply voltage reduction. This motivated us to explore alternative devices with sharp-switching: Z2-FET (Zero subthreshold slope and Zero impact ionization), Z2-FET DGP (with Dual Ground Planes) and Z3-FET (Zero front-gate). Thanks to their attractive characteristics (sharp switch, low leakage current, adjustable triggering voltage and high current ratio ION/IOFF), band-modulation devices are envisioned for multiple applications. In this work, we focused on Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) protection, capacitor-less Dynamic Random Access Memory and fast logic switch. The DC and transient operation mechanisms as well as the device performance are investigated in details with TCAD simulations and validated with systematic experimental results. A compact model of surface potential distribution for all Z-FET family devices is also given

Full text

Abstract:

The purpose of this organic inquiry and alchemical hermeneutic study was to explore the nature, essence, and archetype of the other woman with the goal of understanding how and why women become involved in triadic relationships. The study seeks to comprehend the lived experience of the other woman, including her history, character, behavior, ideologies, and desires. This study explored how and why other women are othered (i.e., cast out or rejected) in society, and the resultant effects upon them. A further goal of the work was to understand the dynamics of the triadic relationship from the other woman's point of view and to find ways to ease the pain experienced by all parties involved in and affected by these often complex and problematic relationships, which can lead to severe suffering, alienation, heartbreak, and in extreme cases, even murder or suicide.

Although she has been with us for eons, the other woman's true identity has been all but erased from existence. She has been buried in the shadows of society's taboos, relegated to the role of the scapegoat, and burdened with carrying negative projections of an ill-begotten stereotype. Using Carl Jung's theories of the archetypes and complexes and James Hillman and Pat Berry's archetypal psychology, the researcher explored and contrasted the lived experiences of the other woman stereotype and the other woman archetype portrayed in film over the last hundred years, as well as women in history, including pioneering feminist, Anaïs Nin, and the mother of depth psychology, Sabina Spielrein. The other woman archetype proved to be elusive because her identity has been mostly usurped by negative stereotypes. Further, the problems resulting from othering the other woman do not rest in the dyad or in the triadic relationship, but originate with the problem of the imbalance of masculine and feminine energy on the planet.

The researcher concludes with the hope that the other woman can be re-visioned as just "another woman," on an individuation journey towards the Whole Woman archetype. Keywords: Affairs, Betrayal, Feminism, Film, Individuation, Infidelity, Othering, Whole Woman Archetype

Abstract:

Référentiel, réflexif, métaphorique constituent un échantillon des expressions et concepts employés pour qualifier les films de Tim Burton, attestant du lien qui unit ce corpus à l'histoire de son art et à son époque. Partant de ce constat, l'hypothèse proposée ici affirme que cette filmographie constitue un cinéma de la ré-imagination. Le cinéaste emploie lui même ce terme pour définir l'approche conceptuelle de son cinéma. Cette thèse explique d'abord le choix de ce mot par rapport aux concepts pré existants pour ensuite analyser ce qu'il englobe et implique dans la filmographie de Tim Burton. Ses films sont conçus comme des boîtes à jouets rassemblant souvenirs, imagination et pièces intactes. Ces éléments constituent la base formelle des ré imaginations burtoniennes. Ils s'entremêlent au sein d'une même image, tout au long d'un fil narratif parfois ténu. En adoptant des procédés cinématographiques et filmiques ramenant vers des âges antérieurs du septième art et rattachant les intrigues au domaine de l'imaginaire par l'intermédiaire de manifestations mentales, Tim Burton construit un cinéma ancré dans le passé, essayant de reconstituer le royaume de l'enfance en le reconstituant avec ce qu'il en reste
Referential, reflexive, metaphorical – these are a few recurrent terms and concepts used to describe the films of Tim Burton, which attest to the links between this corpus and the history of his art and his era. Based on this observation, the present hypothesis argues that Burton’s filmography is a cinema of re imagination. The filmmaker himself uses this term to describe the conceptual approach to his films. This dissertation explains the choice of re imagination in regard to other pre existing concepts before analyzing the implications of re imagination in Tim Burton's filmography. His films are designed like toy chests in which memories, imagination, and intact pieces are collected. These elements establish the formal base of Tim Burton's re imaginings. They come together to form a single image by means an often tenuous narrative thread. By adopting cinematographic and filmic processes which look back to prior eras of the seventh art, and by bringing stories into the domain of the imagination through the intermediary of mental manifestations, Tim Burton builds a cinema that is anchored in the past, all while trying to restore the kingdom of childhood with what is left behind

Abstract:

Den surrealistiska thrillern I´m thinking of ending things av Charlie Kaufman hade premiär på Netflix hösten 2020. Långfilmens narrativ är en utspelad fantasi och innehåller flera inslag som framställs och kan betraktas som verklighetsfrånvända. Syftet med uppsatsen var att undersöka hur overkligheten framställs genom filmklippning och hur kamerapositionering används för att skapa ett fantasi-perspektiv. Klipp-metoder diskuterade av bland annat Bordwell och Thompson, Karen Pearlman och Walter Murch ligger till grund för en audiovisuell analys. Resultatet visar att några av valda sekvenser bryter mot konventionella klippmetoder för att generera konflikt i betraktarens förväntningar. Temporala förvrängningar används för att skapa illusion och fungerar även väl för att skildra fantasi/dröm.
I´m thinking of ending things by Charlie Kaufman premiered on Netflix in the fall of 2020. The featurefilm is a surrealistic thriller who´s narrative is played out like a fantasy containing several elements deviating from reality. The purpose of the essay was to investigate how unreality is portrayled trough the film editing and how camera work is used to create a fantasy perspective. Editing methods discussed by Bordwell and Thompson, Karen Pearlman and Walter Murch, among others, form the basis for an audiovisual analysis. The result shows that several of the selected sequences violate conventional editing to generate conflict of expectations. The use of temporal distortions works as a tool for illusion and to portray dream/fantasy.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the metaphoric cyborg concept, based on the classic essay "A Cyborg Manifesto" by Donna J. Haraway, through Claudia Springer and her analysis of cyborgs in popular culture, and in relation to Judith Butler and queer theory. By extending the cyborg term to include contemporary forms of cyborgship such as our internet lives and personas, I advocate discussion of philosophical matters concering man/machine-compounds today rather than tomorrow. The main purpose is to restore the cyborg concept as a meaningful analytic and philosophic tool for studying man/machine-relations, in a world where other theories concerning nature/culture, man/machine/animal, subject/object, and similar dichotomies, partly lack a technological perspective. Hopefully, this thesis manages to connect three decades of cyborg reflections from several points of view, posing interesting questions about our dealings and feelings towards our dear friends – the machines.
