Héry-Montanes, Emilia. "Fascisme imaginaire : imaginaire du Fascisme dans l'art italien contemporain (1945-2015)." Thesis, Paris 1, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PA01H027.
Full textOver a period spanning 70 years, 1945 through 2015, ltalian artists carried out a "memory" endeavour for those generations that were bom before the fascist era, during the period of its highest imperialistic aims, during the aftermath of the war, and even for the generation of those artists bom 30 years after the end of the war. As a result, a multitude of individual and collective memories had emerged. This work aims to reconstruct and track the history of these memories (whether or not actually experienced by the artist), and to provide the tools to understand the genesis ofthese memories. Analysing "memory" through art pieces is an intimate, singular, and political act. To what extent fascist memory manipulations affect artistic creations? How do the artists react and position themselves, once confronted with the problems of re-defining "Fascism", after the dictatorship fell? Which new "plastic forms" emerge from these new adaptations of individual and collective memories?
Durante settant'anni, dal 1945 al 2015, gli artisti italiani, attraverso le loro opere, hanno svolto un lavoro di memoria. Fra una generazione nata prima del Fascismo, una nata quando questo è al culmine della sua potenza imperialista, un'altra nata dopo la guerra e infine una generazione di giovani artisti nati trent'anni dopo la fine del conflitto, le memorie individuali e collettive si affollano. L'obiettivo di questa ricerca è di ricostruire la storia di queste testimonianze su un passato, vissuto o no, e di fomire gli strumenti per capire le condizioni della loro genesi. Parlare della memoria attraverso le opere d'arte è un'espressione intima, singolare, ma allo stesso tempo un atto eminentemente politico. Nel periodo preso in esame, le manipolazioni della memoria del Fascismo influenzano la creazione su questo tema? Quai è la posizione degli artisti di fronte alle problematiche nate da una ridefinizione del pericolo fascista, sebbene la dittatura sia ufficialmente caduta? Quali forme plastiche son date a queste rimemorazioni e riattualizzazioni?
Vieillard-Baron, Elsa. "La jungle entre nature et culture : un imaginaire socio-spatial de l'antimonde." Paris 7, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA070029.
Full textThe aim of this thesis is to reconsider the concept that the word jungle gives rise to, a concept that has been criticised by geographers, while, at the same time, it has aroused the attention of the public at large. The aim is to show that the jungle should not be approached solely as an ill-defined natural entity, but that it should be seen more as the Western idea of an otherworldly landscape. This thesis will be drawing on a large collection of artistic representations - pictures, films or books - and on the answers given to a number of questionnaires. It will build a geographical approach to the jungle. 1. Looking at it from a biogeographical angle, the jungle appears to be a natural tropical environment, the borders of which are not easy to specify, be it in India, or more generally under the tropics. 2. Under cover of a reference to something natural, it is in fact a Western cultural idea of a tropical otherworld that emerged at the end of the 20th century on the back of the British colonisation of India. 3. As an idea that sprang in the West, the jungle can be seen as an illusory tropical landscape,that is more imaginary than real and that expresses feelings that would be deemed shameful in the West. 4. As a reversed and primitive reflection of the West, the jungle reaches the rank of another geomythic worid and plays the part of the wild origins of the world. 5. The jungle myth induces some real effects and makes the rainforest an area subject to influence - its environmental management featuring Western postcolonial interference with a dimension. 6. Finally, the urban jungles of the West give credence to the jungle as a counter-world, whatever its scale and location
Josse, Catherine. "La plastique du toucher : matières, corps, imaginaires." Rennes 2, 2000. http://www.theses.fr/2000REN20012.
Full text@In our societies, hearing and seeing are essential compared to touching which is often linked with the idea of archaism, banality but also with that of materiality and pleasure. The field of this research is that of the plastic arts and it implies the setting up of a universe of artefacts : from " sceneries " dedicated to the hand to the creation of " the tactile room " in a public institution for blind people (Vertou, France). One of the aims of this study is to create good conditions enabling a certain type of relationship with the matter. Through the observations of the answers given either orally o through body language, it is the cognitive even more than the affective dimensions of the touch which are questioned here. However what this study aims at is not the understanding of the affect but its expression. The challenge is to go back to the sources of the tactile imagination (which is strictly limited to privacy even of not forbidden in society) so as to make it a tool for creation. Moreover, thanks to the opening of this study to the filed of the history of art, one tries to highlight the haptic dimension of visual works of art (painting, sculptures, photographies, setting ups). Once again, it puts forward the issue of the aesthetics of the touch and of the evolution of its field of action. This aesthetic approach of the tactile could contribute to better educational strategies involving children with visual deficiencies. Although they seem to be left aside from the " artistic ", these blind people can easily change in their relations to space and to the body when confronted with a tactile universe rich in emotion and poetry
Taffanel, Jacky. "L'Atelier du chorégraphe." Paris 8, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1993PA080815.
Full textThe choreographer's workshop is the result of the various demands that go to make up her existence. It is the fundamental technique in the creation of a choreography. It is present in the choregrapher's way of "looking". It is a question of asking what has gone into making her, and how she has involved in the way in which she writes choregraphy. In the first part she carries out an anlysis of those choreographies she has created with her professional troupe over the last ten years : this point up the constant evolution in the way she "sees", being perpetually obliged to choose between the dancer's improvisations, and at the same time keeping the area which attracts the eye, in which the choreography is actually realized, alive. This approach encourages the development of the various tensions arising from the paradoxes that are integral part of the workshop. In the second part we approach the paradoxes through the complex relationships which "seeing" has with "time", "memory" and "forgetting" and with the haptic qualities of the artists in space. The existence of a space in which the die is not yet cast is vital to creation. It needs a particular approach on the part of the dancers which is best seen in the third part. How does the physical nature of the dancing body weave a space essential to creation ?

Full textImage cannot possibly be reduced to its imaginary aura nor to its possible symbolic sense, it is endowed with a proper substance. The real gives it an imprint resisting the imaginary metamorphosis and the symbolic exchanges. In the first place, it was necessary to settle the autonomy of image against language that tries to invest image by means of semiology and psychoanalysis. This autonomy is nowhere so obvious than in the dependency of images, on the one hand, on their materials and their processes of production in which originates the heterogeneity of painting, photography and cinema, and, on the other hand, on the register of time whose reality gives them shape according to their own specificity. The relation to the realness of time explains both the unity and the disparity of images. But, in the second place, what of connections between image and language ? we have chosen to reactivate the ancient parallel between arts (paragone ) so as to deal with the dispute between image and language through four major figures produced by this dispute from antiquity to modernity. Because it does not result from their parallel a complementarity between image and language, it was necessary, in the third place, to set off the image as an indelible rest of the real, its very own property. Hence the method consisting in producing the realness of image by abstracting its imaginary cover (sartre) and its symbolic structure (freud) before examining it in company with deleuze, pascal, lacan et baudelaire

Full textThis study deals with the painted tombs of Etruria, and especially of Tarquinia, in the Hellenistic time. Through the comparison with the monuments discovered in the last years throughout the Mediterranean world (Macedonia, Alexandria, South Italy), the analysis of the Etruscan documents gives precious informations on the story of the antic painting between the second half of the 4th. Century and the end of the 3rd century B. C. In the paiented tombs, but also on painted sarcophages and ceramic, one can see the diffusion of pictural innovations, such as the new importance of color et decorative motifs. This work analyses more accurately the link between architecture and painting, and also the eschatological believes displayed by these pictures, especially by the representations of demons
Molinié, Sandrine. "L'iconographie du diable dans la sculpture romane du Midi de la France et du Nord de l'Espagne." Toulouse 2, 2008. http://www.theses.fr/2008TOU20057.
Full textTowards the year thousand, the religious, social and political context favours the emergency of the devil's image. The eschatology is heavy, the Church becomes threatening, and its speech is founded on the hell fear. On and after this period, different artists, essentially sculptors, try to retrace the physique and the personality of this creature. The expression of its anthropologist form is really going to explicit and light up. All this is so ambiguous, the devil is so horrible that it becomes difficult to represent. It's only vision may be dangerous, sometimes mortal. Its image is paradoxal, no one sees it, and nevertheless everyone should recognize it. This complexity, between its definition and its representation, brings out three properties used to show its demoniac character and to make its portrait: the aggressivity, the abnormality and the immateriality. The sculptures' analysis of the South of France and the North of Spain allows exploring three specificities: the interpretation of each detail becomes important in the signification of the devil's image. This enigmatical being fed the imaginary of the people from the 11th and the 12th century. The artists endeavoured to intensify it's malefic by the ugliness, the deformation, but also the bestiality. Symbol of the very evil, the devil is its incarnation. Giving offence to the devil, the artists wanted to win it over and, in a way, to get it under control. Abject and mysterious at the same time, this strange creature is the representation of their fears the deepest and of their unconfessed phantasms
Hacia el año mil, el contexto, tanto religioso que social y político, favorece la emergiancia de la imagen del diablo. La escatología es pesada, la Iglesia se vuelve amenazadora, funda su discurso sobre el temor del infierno. A partir de este período, diversos artistas, esencialmente escultores, se esfuerzan de describir el físico y la personalidad de esta criatura. La expresión de su forma antropomorfa verdaderamente va a precisarse y desarrollarse. Emana de ella una ambigüedad, el diablo es tan horrible, que llega a ser difícil representarlo. Sólo su visión puede ser peligrosa, a veces mortal. Su imagen es paradójica, nadie lo ve sin embargo todo el mundo debe reconocerlo. Esta complejidad, entre su definición y su representación, hace resaltar tres propriedades utilizadas para designar su natural demoniaco y para elaborar su retrato : la agresividad, la anormalidad y la inmaterialidad. La análisis de las esculturas del Mediodía Francés y del Norte de España permite de explorar estas tres especifidades ; la traducción de cada detalle aparece importante en la significación de la imagen del diablo. Este ser enigmático ha alimentado lo imaginario de los hombres del XI y del siglo XII. Los artistas han buscado a intensifiar su maleficio por la fealdad, la deformación, pero también por la bestialidad. Símbolo mismo del Mal, el diablo es la encarnación de el. Formalizandolo, los artistas han querido canalizarlo y en una cierta medida dominarlo. Abyecta y misteriosa a la vez, esta extraña criatura es la representación de sus temores los más profundos y de sus fantasmas no confesados

Fernandez, Ermitas. "L'imaginaire à l'oeuvre dans la triangulation pédagogique : une analyse à partir de l'objet sculpture en terre." Paris 8, 1995. http://www.theses.fr/1995PA081033.
Full textThrough this study, i aim to clarify the pedagogical triangle, triangle, neither from the teacher's poinbt of view, nor from the student's, but rather by considering the discipline taught in relation to the other components (student, professor) and in regard to the effects on the different relations implied (professor-student and students among themselves). The object of knowledge is thereafter analysed as subject with real consistency and personality, first defined by it's specific identity, then by the modes of relation it is capable of establishing within the pedagogical device. The discipline which gave birth to my questioning refers to a neglected artistic technique : sculpture. Often defined as work with hard materials requiring the use of tools, it is, in fact, creation of three-dimensional forms. Clay modelling permitting substraction but also addition of substance, as opposed to stone sculpture- has been practised regularly by artists since most ancient times. All considerations this study has raised are based on the singularity of this particular discipline and replaced in the context of workshop apprenticeship. Inside this field, i privilege the imaginary dimension, by which i mean the images aroused by a given object. My questioning can therefore be summed up as followed : what impact does the specificity of the object of transmission have on the imaginary relations among the three elements which compose the pedagogical triangle?

Full textThis research explores the connections between fashion and the animal, by means of an iconographic study guided by a multidisciplinary approach. Raising fascination and paradoxes, the use of the animal and its attributes – physical, graphical, symbolic – benefits, in the first place, material and symbolic fashion’s productions : animals are involved in the transfiguration-of-reality strategies peculiar to the unique economic sector that is fashion industry. At the same time, animals appear to be an efficient and aesthetic way of representing human activity : they are a tool to rethink the world, human nature and social relationships. Thus, involved in the general contemporary dynamics of keen interest for a fantasized Wilderness, the fashion iconography contributes to the current rewriting of human definition. Nevertheless, fashion pictures play a part in the growing negotiation of boundaries between members of the biological field. By developing a specific work on the human body an its fineries, they offer an alternative path to the reconsideration of an animal otherness whose borders seem more permeable everyday. This work is an attempt to examine how fashion's visual forms and imaginary express the contemporary complexity of far-changing anthropozoologic interactions

Full textWhat relationship do composers have with the voice simulation and processing? To understand the artistic implications behind the techniques of voice simulation and processing, we shall examine the means and the models employed, as well as their stylistic consequences. The vital lead in this research is therefore the study of the contributions made by artificial processes in association with vocality to the electroacoustic and computer musics so as to define, consolidate and prolong the concept of artificial vocality. Beyond exposing the conditions required for the emergence of artificial vocality and its blossoming, we shall point out the existence of musical gestures that are either distinct or influenced by mechanical processes. Finally, the paradigms of artificial vocality - between rupture and continuity, figuration and disembodiment, ambiguity and paradox - nourish the future of artificial vocality and open the perspective of its imaginary space

Full textIn a context of artistic production where the diversity of plastic form is widely increasing, this thesis offersto go back to a material and practical approach of the latter, and more specifically of metal sculpturespresented by artists from the beginning of the 20th century. The analysis of the metallic matter whichcomposes these modern and contemporary works will, throughout this research, be operated through thelens of the different imaginaries animating and pervading it. Those imaginaries, coming from such variedhorizons as Ancient Greek, Roman or Scandinavian mythologies, the popular mythology of the IndustrialRevolution or even literature and Science Fiction cinema, will serve as vectors allowing to bring forwardthe different characteristics and various uses of metals in the contemporary art world. The intrinsic linkbetween the physical attributes of metal, the oneirism it conveys, and the way it re-surfaces in sculptureswill be at the core of the present study.The analysis of metal imaginaries and their artistic legacy calls for a pluri-disciplinary scientific research.It starts with a historical approach of the birth and evolution of metallurgy, the myths and the consequentcreations it has generated (I). With the industrial revolution, these metallic dreams have evolved and causeda deep metamorphosis of plastic and semantic qualities of metallic artworks (II). Finally, in the last days ofpost-modernism, either utopian or dystopian vistas are emerging to question the relations between man andthe metallic matter, and these contemporary enquiries will be this work’s last point of focus (III).Throughout the research, the running question of intermateriality (owing to the pre-existing model ofintermediality) – meant to reveal the essential relationship between matters – will be developed, questionedand illustrated simultaneously

Full textAs new informations allow us to have a new approach on Pala-Sena history and religion, this study undertakes to highlight options and meanings of Pala-Sena slab stone sculptures' iconography. The first part of this work reveals the richness of the Indian Pala-Sena religious universe. Bihar and Bengal were places of tradition, intellectual meetings and religious developments. Tantrism was systematised and spread from there as a creative philosophical ritual and symbolical movement which fully claimed its relation with Mahayana. The second part of this study emphasizes the specificities of the Indian Buddhist "mythology", and proposes a new interpretation of eight important symbolic themes of Pala-Sena 's iconography. At least, we propose a new interpretation of the major sacred beings of the late Indian Buddhist pantheon. It reveals the new power of the fivefold manifestation and the decline of Maitreya. It was thus possible to define the elements able to reveal the Tantric identity of the Pala-Sena art
Dauvergne, Benoît. "Images et imaginaire des Ordres du Roi." Thesis, Sorbonne université, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019SORUL099.
Full textIf the members of the "Orders of the King", which refer, under the Ancien Régime, to the Order of Saint Michael created in 1469 by Louis XI of France, and the Order of the Holy Spirit created in 1578 by Henry III of France, are well known and precisely identified, history of art, through the examination of canvases, engravings or sculptures produced between the 15th and the 18th centuries, and in particular painted and engraved portraits of knights, paves the way to a better understanding of the Orders in terms of roles and operation. The invention and the use of chivalric orders by a centralized state is intimately linked to the process that led in Europe, from the Middle Ages to present days, to the rise of the individual, if not the rise of individualism itself, in a strong society made up of corporations and “castes”. These orders were not founded to strengthen this dynamics of emancipation, as one could think. Even if the knights were given the right to stand out from the crowd, thanks to insignias that give them the illusion to look like the king, it was only in a superficial way, without affecting the affairs of the state. Our thesis, which consists in demonstrating how the “Orders of the King” were used as a tool of aesthetic neutralization, by the King, of aristocratic ambitions, relies on the study of the Sons of France’s Cordons Bleus – the ribbon from which the Cross of the Holy Spirit was hung was blue –, insignias that are not precisely insignias of the Orders of the King, and the modification by accident, intent or misconception of the Orders of the King’s symbols and representations
Salas, Irène. "À la frontière du corps : l’imaginaire de la peau à la Renaissance." Paris, EHESS, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014EHES0138.
Full textDuring the Renaissance, the skin – which has often been overlooked in recent studies on the body – allowed new approaches, initiated new speculations and contributed to a new knowledge. Our purpose is to show how this singular organ became a privileged theoretical object in a time when thought was structured by conceptual couples such as surface and depth, interiority and exteriority, being and appearing, the visible and the invisible, the sensible and the intelligible, the corporeal and the spiritual. In this survey, which also takes into account vegetable and animal skins (membrane, bark, fur, leather, shell) and “second skins” such as clothing, make-up or armours, our guides were not only philosophers and physicians, but mostly writers and painters, who brought the skin into light while it seemed to disappear under the blades of anatomists. Its “epiphany” can be seen in Montaigne, Ronsard and Shakespeare, as well as in Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo or Titian. . . Not to mention those whose imagination was nourished by the legendary stories of the flaying of Marsyas and Saint Bartholomew – or by the myth of Epimetheus that questions the human nature. Particular attention was paid to the skin as “support-surface” of writing and painting, because it offered writers and artists the opportunity to reflect on their own practice, on the materiality of language and images, on visual and tactile qualities of representation

Full textThis dissertation analyses the games professor tolkien plays at every level of the creation of the lord ot the rings. Those are both a writer's gates and a philologist's play on words, which lend the tale its wealth and its ambiguity. The first part studies the place of children/childhood in the characters" imag- ination and in their author's as well. It focuses on the symbolical meaning of the ring in such a context as freud's family novel. The second part tries to list all the games involved in the narrative process, highlighting the narrative function of the characters' role playing, of the play of light and darkness, and such play on words as proverbs and riddles. The third part intends to show that tolkien's interplay with voices and signs can be read as a real grammar book for fantasy, while it entails a questioning of the genre of the lord of the rings and a reflection on the tension existing between ethics and aethetics in this work of fiction

Full textPlastination is a method of conservation invented by anatomist G. Von Hagens. Developped industrial way, it gives rise to controversial exhibitions of anonymous corpses preserved in life-like positions. How to fathom the success of those exhibitions whereas it is commonplace to consider death as a tabou ? How the plastinates fit in the history of representation of bodies anc exposure of corpses while they testify of the world they were created in ? Echoing the ideas of an era and mirroring its bodies, plastinates underline contemporary tensions, when they generate theories of anthropological and subjective rupture. They support the ego-illusions of completeness, at the cost of a tantalizing redial, and lets us see the effects of obsessionnalisation favored by science. Approaching this phenomenon as a symptom, this work questions the point of view of the inventor, visitors, candidates for plastination and its detractors, but also sensitive and significan features of these bodies
Captain-Sass, Sylvie. "La plasticité neuronale comme nouveau territoire de l'imaginaire." Thesis, Paris 1, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015PA010571/document.
Full textSince the 16th century, the collaboration between artists and scientists has gone along with an evolution of representations of a more and more fragmented body. The neuroplasticity theory, as revolutionary for some people as the one of Copernicus or of Darwin, has made a start on the lines of new scientific, but also philosophical and social paradigms, on which contemporary artists rely in a poetic, sometimes ironic and denunciatory way. From the high value given to science to the recent protocols and concepts manipulation, some artistic techniques also rely on the spectacular and stimulating breakthrough of biotechnologies. The questions linked to distortion, impermanence and interaction come with those of plasticity, being neuronal, physical or in connection with materials. From these context elements, this thesis analyzes the issues linked to the approaches from artists grappling with these plasticities at work. Taking into consideration the mutual influence relationship existing between brain and body plasticity, I also analyze the impact of Shintaido, a Japanese martial art, on my poïesis. The use of wax, a both modest and sacred plastic material, is confronted to the use of raw canvas, dragging out maps with a mysterious syntax from brain and body matter, like telluric nomadic wanderings that have become more ethereal today

Full textLartigue's signature invites one to reconsider his photographic work from the stand point of the imaginary. Lartigue has left us with an unfinished piece of work which is both extremely complex and monumental and which cannot but catch one's eye and leave one faced with the question of the imaginary. Lartigue dreamed his life through photography: he invented a method which was trail-brazing : it mirrors a childhood game, a secret, a mystery. How does a body express itself in images when taken for a "photograph to be" ? ln this study, reading of his personal diary is of precious importance when trying to comprehend his albums. Photography becomes an act of faith, of belief, of knowledge mingling body and image in time, and giving life to a Story. The imaginary emerges via an "Image-Memory" created by the photograph, with father and mother' s images in the background. The photographic movement is a symbol of the search of times past and of a renewed childhool to brought to life via the magic of photography. Our study is an analysis which brushes through the Esthetic as well as the Plastic Arts, with the ain of going back to the origins of Lartigue' s method of work and to confront it to philosophy, literature and to the cinema. The idea of mounting will enable one to relive the " body-image" experience, to break down time, bring it to a stand still and to enlighten our understanding of the process of metamorphosis. Our project is aimed at studying the marks of this new, powerful and. Melancolic cinematographic work, which cannot be put into any category, and to try and find what internal mechanisms bring in perpetual movement of shapes between shapes

Full textThis research work aims to study the written expressions of the cordel literature and the visual representations of the xylography made by José Francisco Borges, known as J. Borges, one of the most recognized popular artists in Latin America. The cordel literature is a form of cultural demonstration from the north east of Brazil. It’s an oral poetry that depicts the memory and the imagination of this region. The cordel is often associated to the xylo-graphy, woodblock prints that illustrate its covers. The reading of the folhetos of cordel is deeply rooted in the oral tradi-tion, revealing the social, historical and cultural context of the north east region. In addition to its linguistic and literary role, the cordel literature gives a pic-ture of the people’s identity, that unveils all the society’s characteristics through language, belief, humor and culture in general. Likewise the xylographs express this popular identity through images. Thus, it appears that the cordel and the xylography establish themselves as a socio-historical and cultural identity of the north east region of Brazil. This investigation is multidisciplinary since it is based on the thoughts of authors who evolve in the fields of popu-lar culture and visual semiotics. These two elements establish the theoretical questions of this work. Hence, we will analyze the meaning of the cor-del and the xyloghraphs within the crea-tive universe of the author. We adopted as a research strategy, the analysis of the language in these two forms of creation: the text and the image. These strategies will lead us to reflect on the specificities of the oral in the text and the visual of the xylographs

They are different from other symbols such as Germanic eagle who evokes strength and authority at the first sight. Why the dragon and the rooster could have been served as a country’s symbol: what characteristics do they have? what conditions have they fulfilled in the history to win this place? We try to answer the questions with three parts. The part I studies the two symbols’ presence in daily life. We find that a frequent presence produces a familiarity that allows all social communities to identify the appearance. The part II is on the iconography and aesthetics. The morphological evolutions of the two symbols reveal that their image combines the human and the animal. We discover that the two symbols present common schemas: strength, privilege, power, etc. Nevertheless, their image is obtained in a different way. The frontal dragon is in connection with the emperor, the rooster with an image of knight and hero. The part III focuses on the literature, discusses the nomination and the role. The study on the nomination reveals that the two animals’ name and appellation confirm the identified schemas of leader, emperor and elite, which allow the literary character, dragon or rooster, to manifest their authority of emperor (king), civilizing hero or mythical ancestor. These similarities bring their image closer to the national symbol. Besides the homogeneous aspects, we find a heterogeneity in the construction of the two symbols’ image on the ideal personality of the two countries: the emperor for the Chinese and the hero for the Frenchmen

Full textThe following text is a reflection on the creation and theory behind my master’s project titled ‘Of course I love you, the flower said’. This installation, based on classic literature for children, is composed of various elements such as distinct cabins and the environment around them and aims to entirely transform the gallery space in order to create a possibility of immersion for the viewer. The installation itself is of the order of the imaginative and the fantastic and has a starting point in the child-adult duality. Each cabin features a different type of art on the inside, namely a surplus of drawings, a mural and a projected slideshow of virtual images. Hence each of these different art-forms, alongside the element of the cabin and the outside ‘garden’, are discussed with special regards to how together, they achieve the aimed for immersion.

Full textThis thesis proposes to study the expression and depiction of movement in ancient Greek painting, specifically vase painting. While illustrating the very rich and unique source of the visual world of ancient Greece, the emphasis is kept on the link which unites the emotions to the body movements, gesture or posture. Theories about ancient pictorial representations are unanimous on the subject of painting the human figure. From the myths concerning the creation of painting and visual arts (sculpture & modeling), the artist must portray and illustrate the living in all aspects, external and internal. Using the human figure and representation of the anatomy, appears to be the most effective way to convey the emotions and feelings that animate the body through the depiction of gesture, posture or facial expression. This portrayal applies to the expression of intense emotion or altered state of being such as: the over consumption of wine, being possessed by a god (divine action) or the imminence of death. For a better understanding of the portrayal of this phenomenon, it is necessary to turn to the origin of the ancient Greek idea of the soul (θυμός or/and ψυχή). From the Homeric age this concept can be understood as the basis of sentiment and emotion and can be seen as natural as a breath which enters and exits the body. This notion is of key importance, to understand the origin of movement that brings to life the characters depicted in the images, whether consumed by drunkenness, under the yoke of divine possession or about to die. In each case, the soul is solicited, in one way or another, whether in its temporary or permanent separation or dissociative state from the body. Whether the aim is set out in art or in the relationship that the soul maintains with the body, Ancient Greek imagery does not ignore such concepts as the expression of these intense emotional and altered states whatsoever. Bodily movements clearly articulate an out of the ordinary state by the orientation of the body, gestures, actions and facial expressions and does not seem to be limited to the representation of only a physiological reaction. A link will be established between ancient images and modern theories developed on the subject of representation of movement in art. The objective: To demonstrate that the artists who adorned ancient vases favored the illustration of a concept or an idea, by imagination and expressivity, above the reporting of a perfect reality

Full textThis thesis conducted an analysis of the relationship between literature and photography, with the object of study the work: the novel Grande Sertão: Veredas (1956) by João Guimarães Rosa, which has translated for the photography of Maureen Bisilliat in the work, A João Guimarães Rosa (1969). Since its inception, photography rehearsed some steps in the dialogue with the literature. However, were the vanguard of movements that showed greater interaction, leading questions about the artistic work not only on the picture that tried to consolidate as art as well as art by itself in general. Surrealism can be considered as a landmark dialogue, innovation, artistic pioneer among these languages. In the literature, the study of the interaction with writers provided a brief knowledge of some names in the literature that dialogued with photography in his works, lovers of the photographic medium, were also considered photographers. In this work, we treat photography as a inter-semiotic translation, or even creative transposition. The photographic image is not only meant to illustrate the words of the writer. It dialogues with the text, and this construction does not occur randomly and direct way. The research demonstrated that the creative process is similar on both artists the diversity of its aesthetic. The two express their specificities, but at the same time, they nevertheless share equivalents, either convergences or divergences, enabled through metaphorized pictures of backcountry environment and its inhabitants. In intersemiotic dialogue built on João Guimarães Rosa, it was necessary to fragment the novel Grande Sertão: Veredas in captions for the picture to explore the latent feminine in this work. This femininity has been revealed through literary theory that presents a critical rich fortune about the female in Grande Sertão: Veredas. The photographic essay is driven in that the characters perceive the images surfacing through their legends, in addition to several female members silently emerge from images which related durandiano universe belonging to the nocturnal regime. Maureen Bisilliat, makes us believe in the possibility of reframing of Rosa's work, the relationships between reality and fiction, such as duality present from the surrealism that communes with the Imaginary of Gilbert Durand
Esta tese realizou uma análise das relações existentes entre literatura e fotografia, tendo como objeto de estudo a obra literária Grande Sertão: Veredas (1956) de João Guimarães Rosa, traduzida em fotografias de Maureen Bisilliat na obra A João Guimarães Rosa (1969). Apesar de a fotografia ensaiar passos na interação com a literatura desde o seu surgimento em 1849, os movimentos de vanguarda é que propiciaram questionamentos sobre o fazer artístico não só na fotografia, bem como da própria arte em geral. O diálogo entre essas linguagens enfatizou-se sobretudo na escola surrealista, considerada como um marco de inovação e pioneirismo artístico nessa inter-relação. Essa interação propiciou um breve conhecimento de alguns nomes da literatura que dialogaram com a fotografia em suas obras, escritores amantes da fotografia, alguns considerados também fotógrafos. Neste trabalho ocorre uma tradução intersemiótica, ou ainda, uma transposição criativa. A imagem fotográfica não serve apenas para ilustrar as palavras do escritor. Ela dialoga com o texto, e essa construção não se dá de maneira aleatória nem direta. A pesquisa demonstrou que o processo criativo de ambos os artistas é o mesmo na diversidade de suas estéticas. Os doisexpressam suas especificidades, mas, ao mesmo tempo, revelam equivalências, seja por convergências ou por divergências, viabilizadas por intermédio de imagens metaforizadas do ambiente sertanejo e em seus habitantes. No romance, foi necessária a fragmentação, em forma de legendas, por parte da fotógrafa para dialogar com as imagens, ao menos num primeiro momento. A feminilidade latente na obra é desvendada através da teoria literária, que apresenta um rica fortuna crítica acerca do feminino em Grande Sertão: Veredas. O ensaio fotográfico é acionado ao tempo que se percebe as personagens aflorando nas imagens literárias em suas legendas, além de diversos elementos que emergem, como as imagens relacionadas com o universo durandiano: o elementofeminino, pertencente ao regime noturno. Maureen Bisilliat faz acreditar na possibilidade de ressignificação da obra rosiana, das relações entre a realidade e a ficção, dualidade tão presente desde o surrealismo, que comunga com o Imaginário de Gilbert Durand

Full textThis thesis analyses the evolution of imagination of the pregnancy for forty years as well as some of its social incidences.The science embryologist had installed since the 19 th century a realist tradition of presentation of the human foetus. During half of the 20 th, things seem to change. In 1970, the photographs of Lennart Nilsson in particular coloured, empowered, aestheticized and humanized the foetus. In France, the ‟anatomical foetus” saw itself besides out-of- the way of the museums, its image absent in in the ‟illustrated medical Larousse” and the textbooks of natural sciences. As for the foetus present in the contempory art, it is oversized or disgusting : what looks like mots of ‟real” foetus derealises. The haptonomy and certain technologies around the pregnancy are going to stress these modifications of the image of the foetus for the benefit of parental imagination.The social effects of the foetal idealization are varied. The humanisation of the ‟beautiful foetus” making ugly anomaly, the maternal obsession of the ‟foetal monster” is more interiorized and discorders work in foetal medicine. Their refusal of anomaly becoming more implicit, doctors and parents adopt an euphemized language. But, even the image of the aborted foetus fallen through humanizes. It becomes moving. When a foetus is condemned, it will thus have to be repaired concretely and symbolically. The nursing who invite the relatives to see the foetus after his death will present him as a sleeping baby, repaired by his deformations. Certain mother especially when they envisage a new pregnancy, represent him then as an angel, this angel become omnipresent on the Internet forums.This dispositf questions the contemporary societies : the specialists of foetal medicine are faced with certain parents refusing the birth of a child affected by deformations without gravity. In the miror of their baby appears an unspeakable : the horror of an expanding foetus of anomaly. Does not the esthetisation make the imagination of the anomaly all the more powerful as they do not have more space other than the heart of hearts to spread ?

Full textAfter World War Two, André Malraux publish in 1951 Les Voix du silence, edited by Gallimard. The book is a rewritten version in one volume of Psychologie de l’art’s trilogy, originally published by Albert Skira between 1947 and 1950. Based on the observation that artworks’ reproductions allow to constitute a “musée imaginaire” beyond geographical and historical divisions of museums and original artworks, the author develop a “transgeographica” and “trans-historical” theory by a close relationship with illustrations. Thus, Malraux is taking part in an history of art history in which the discourse with images contains a theory linked to artworks’ presence through photographic reproduction. The “musée imaginaire” is here considered as a methodological presentation informed by the reading of Walter Benjamin’s texts. Then, an historical methodology can be understood in its relation to the written form. Malraux’s studies of image allow him to define a peculiar theory as well as to visually represent his own version of art history in a « cinematic » way. From this point, history of photography and art history’s publishing are revealed. Indeed, his use of the photographic reproduction is motivated by a reflexion on the very means of diffusion of art history discourses. Malraux creates an edited form that plays with editorial codes in use in this field. A series of comparisons with books by Georges Bataille, René Huyghe, Ernst Gombrich and John Berger allow to notice its specificity and to locate Malraux’s texts in the history of art history

Full textThroughout the first half of the 19th century, broadly-defined, music is instituted as a poetic and aesthetic model. Artists are challenged by its invisible, impalpable and ephemeral ideal. From The Sleep of Endymion by Girodet to The White Girl by Whistler, this thesis focuses on understanding the origins, the rationale as well as the different aspects of the dialogue that took place in France between a revivified musical imaginary and the field of painting. It aims at extracting its founding myths and its concrete manifestations in works, expressions, and discourses. From Saint Cecilia to the civilising poet to the musical virtuoso, the art of sounds is personified by inspirited or captivated figures who contribute to model a new image of the artist. Moreover, as it gradually becomes considered as a guiding light for the Fine arts, music offers original arguments in favour of regulating or, alternatively, subverting artistic techniques. The different modes of appropriation rising from this new paragone unveil two main tendencies. As early as the beginning of the 1790s, several artists like Valenciennes, David, Girodet or Prud'hon use a mythical ideal of music to lay the foundations for their lyricism. This lyricism is characterised by sentimental subject matters, an increase in landscape productions, a passion for Correggio’s misty manner or the representation of inner dramas. Another form of pictorial musicality arises from the 1820s onwards. It materialises through a positive re-evaluation of the painter's hand, either in emulation of or as a rival to the musician's. From Vernet to Ingres to Delacroix, the degree of finish of the artist’s interpretations or his “symphonic” manner to arrange shapes and colours, regardless of mimetic contingencies, express his “signature” on the canvas. Absorbed from the 1860s by the followers of Baudelaire and Wagner, this artistic passion and the speculative musicalities it generated seem to offer, once put to light, a new avenue to explore pictorial Romanticism and its historiography
Kumar, Vinod. "Les représentations des « Indes » coloniales dans la bande dessinée contemporaine d’Europe francophone." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020REN20024.
Full textThe theme of India is not unknown in French literature; several works have used India as part of their writing, most notably Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days, and Henri Michaux's A Barbarian in Asia. In twentieth-century literature, representations have changed to a degree: the imagination has been partially replaced by real commentary. However, this evolution has not yet lent itself to a realistic description of the country. The French imagination of India during the nineteenth century and the twentieth century was studied by Catherine Weinberger-Thomas, and Jackie Assayag. Nevertheless, their articles are limited to so-called "literary" works. There is no academic writing on comic books. This work aims to deal with the image of colonial India in contemporary comic books conveyed by French-speaking Europe. The goal of this research is to analyse the works in question in order to study whether the contemporary authors have laid stereotypical clichés to rest and replaced them with more realistic descriptions, or, whether they perpetuate the literary images inherited from the nineteenth-century literature, such as those we can read in Jules Verne's Around the world in 80 Days. Our research confirms that the image of India that authors of comic books convey does not entirely stem from realism, but rather from a keen desire to portray the Indian subcontinent as an exotic, magical land of adventures

Full textAeronautics underwent a significant development during the first decades of the 20th century. Helped by new technological advancements aeronautics quickly became omnipresent in all sectors of the European life and culture. From the figure of the airplane’s pilot emerged subtly, then with strength, the image of a strong and brave man personifying his country. Finding a favorable receptacle in the Great War’s heroes, the totalitarian governments shaped the pilot as the avatar of an ideal man. The European imagination of the first third of the 20th century gave birth to the "flying man", a facet of the “new man”, embodying the greatness of its nation

Full textThis thesis aims to show the important role played by the figure of Saint Cecilia in the European musical psyche in the 19th century. The first part of this work is devoted to the historiography of Saint Cecilia, from the fifth century to the 19th century, and to the inclusion of the figure in the European cultural space. Various media have contributed to make this legendary Roman patrician a celebrated and famous patron saint but, first and foremost, is the picture of Raphael, The Ecstasy of St. Cecilia. During the first half of the 19th century this artistic European heritage artwork is the subject of a true fascination for the writers, musicians and painters. This thesis tries to understand the reasons why. In the second phase, this thesis shows that the figure of Saint Cecilia is a trope figure, a vivid allegory, used by many writers to construct a discourse on music, art and the relationship between the arts. During the 19th century there were several strong phases of focus on Saint Cecilia, each leading to recharge the figure with a vivid breath. She then imposes herself, no longer as a figure of persistence only, but rather as the possibility of thinking about transcendence and of constructing an aesthetic discourse. The third axis of this research focuses on gender studies. Heiress to several types of feminine representations, Saint Cecilia appears as an analogical tool, rich in ideological presuppositions on the representation of women and women musicians. Representation of an eternal feminine fantasy, the female musicians associated to Saint Cecilia are the guarantors of an ideological memory which encloses the female musician in a very restricted area of the musical practice

Full textThe research topic addressed in this paper is a visual motif circulating widely among the arts: the figure seen from behind. Through notions that I have been led to further or develop – appearance, inevidence, dorsality, I examine how this posture depicts a way of inhabiting the image and its world, and analyze its implications in artistic practices as well as in the philosophical and social field. In order to carry out this survey, I was inspired by a gesture of Aby Warburg, the creation of atlases of images. Atlas making allowed me to reveal three expressive modalities of the back running through the history of art and cinema, and which are also found within my boards. I address these questions in the first chapter of the thesis. The second chapter, titled "Repli (s)", focuses on my first picture board, devoted to figures from behind who avoid and sneak away, conveying a withdrawal of expressive meaning. The third chapter addresses my second picture board, in which I sought to depict a form of absorption led by the figure from behind since the Romantic Age.The fourth and last chapter, entitled "Exclusion (s)", examine a violence committed upon the subject. By focusing on the portrayal of African-Americans in American plantation films, I try to show how a form of aesthetic, social, and political exclusion has been created by the representation from behind. What are withdrawn, absorbed or excluded characters telling us in view of the frontality that still prevail today? The figures seen from behind, as presented in my thesis, introduce a dorsality of representations and of existence

Full textThe present research work focuses on the painted portrait and the opportunity it offers to meet people and exchange moments of friendship. It aims at analyzing what is at stakes in this process by means of theoretical tools such as psychology and psychoanalysis. It is also concerned with the understanding of how this «hand to hand» and «presence to presence» practice gets its anchorage in time and how it unfolds it and refers to it. The get together process, as well as my own practice, are the expression of desire – desire of the Other. Each of my paintings is an attempt to answer this single question: «How would the person posing for me like to be painted?». Then, as if guided by his or her wish, my brushes enter into action in order to fulfill it to the best of my abilities – the task is of course impossible, because language implies a loss and gets us apart from one another. Each of us sees oneself as unique, for we are separated from each other: we are indeed surrounded by emptiness. The Other and emptiness don’t belong to the outside, they are part of ourselves. In the field of psychoanalysis, we manage to find our unity through imagination. Psychoanalysis, meditation, alchemy and painting have all in common to be based on practice. Each of these disciplines deals with insight in its own way: in the end they all benefit from each other

Full textThis research aims to examine how contemporary international art biennials, considered as cultural events and as first step in the historicization process of works and artists, contribute to the making of « otherness » as an imagined community. The chronologic frame of our research is anchored in 1989, which correspond to the « global turn », a shift of paradigm that would have led to the rethinking of domination relationship and the logic center/periphery, especially in the field of contemporary art. The internationalization of contemporary art and the renewal of the frameworks of thought that are often connected with the global turn have led to a process of labeling the difference, as evidenced by artistic and aesthetic categories such as « non-western art » or « global art » that carry renewed representations that this research intends to analyze. Our approach, which is based on a corpus of six exhibitions that have marked the field of international cultural events, is deliberately multidisciplinary and aims to consider the heterogeneity of the material that composes these exhibitions. First, we highlight the expographic discourses from the analysis of three components : the writings, from which we propose a specific typology that considers both the intentions that preside over their production and the uses that are made of them ; artistic practices, which in the context of biennials are at the service of the expographic discourse ; and the gestures of exhibitions which are characteristics of the specific media device of the biennials. Secondly, interviews and the collect of archival documents have led us to circumscribe the context of enunciation and the intentionality of the events. As a media device in its own right, the exhibition catalog also gave rise to a metholody adapted to all the elements (discursive and non-discursive) that characterize it. More particularly, the writings of knowledge have been the subject of semiolinguistic analysis to highlight the processes of concretization of concepts, and thus have led us to grasp the artistic values that are attached to the imagined otherness. The preferred approach to analyze this corpus thus makes it possible to articulate the specificities of each exhibition (i.e their individuation through the articulation of their concept and their device), and their inscription in a network (as a result of a process of rewriting) at the same time

Full textThis thesis proposes a new perspective on the “private” historical imaginaries that, during the first quarter of the nineteenth century, open up a new type of pictorial imagination beyond the traditional generic boundaries of history painting. From the grandiloquence, the illustrious “names and dates” and the dramatic action of classical history painting, the attention turns to the familiar, intimate, secret or “anecdotal” face of the past ‒ long neglected but progressively rediscovered since the middle of the eighteenth century. Focusing on three geographic regions in which this phenomenon manifested itself in an early stage ‒ France, Prussia and Lombardy ‒, the thesis intends to shed a new light on a type of painting that for a long time received little attention and consideration, and to reconsider the relationship between the paintings and the European cultural fabric in which they are embedded. It is in fact a profoundly international phenomenon, which existed however only in the form of a variety of "national", local and individual expressions. The pictorial production is examined through the prism of this apparent paradox, following a stratified critical approach: from the paintings and the context of their creation to the question of their international diffusion and circulation, on to the analysis of the structures of thought, rhetorical discourses and methodological classifications. It will be shown how these discourses oriented, fragmented and even hindered the reception and treatment of specific paintings and of the overall phenomenon by art criticism and historiography, during the very years in which the foundations of the discipline of art history were laid

Full textThis Ph. D. dissertation investigates images of Native Americans displayed at the Paris Salons and in the Fine Art sections of the Great Exhibitions of 1855, 1868, 1878, 1889 and 1900. My analysis starts with the first outbreak of the theme at the 1781 Salon and ends following its gradual dismissal at the beginning of the First World War. The body of artworks I analyze documents three main campaigns of representation marked by the history of Native Americans and Whites relations. These representations reveal an artistic figure both attractive and repulsive at the same time. The rhetoric of the disappearance of the “Noble Indian” alternates with degrading images of the “Savage Indians”. Our study reveals the origins of collective imagination and racial stereotypes that originate representations of “Indians”. But this iconography is also based on artists’ itinerancies and their migration to the West in order to meet their models. The artistic production of this small group of French and American artists can not be reduced exclusively to the two aesthetic patterns previously discussed. Their travels on the North American territory and their attention to Native American Art encourage new artistic horizons at the Paris venues. This thesis is also an opportunity to study the image of the Native American “Others” displayed in the competitive Fine Art sections of the Great Exhibitions. It brings out a discourse promoting the figure of the “Indian” to build an American art with its own aesthetic in response to French artistic influences
