Abstract:

This thesis explores the ways in which teenage girls use narrative performance to negotiate participation, social and gender identity, and individual authority in order to establish ratified and equal statuses of power within their social peer group. Although previous work on narrative discourse has shown that narratives can act as the catalyst for the complex co/construction of identity especially in social situations of talk, little work has been done to focus on the way teenagers, particularly girls, use this discourse to their benefit as they fulfill social and gender goals in social and c

Abstract:

This thesis investigates how Victor Turners concept of cultural performance can be used to explore and analyse the experience of film. Drawing on performance theory, hermeneutics, phenomenology and Bakhtins dialogism, Sections One and Two develop this investigation through a theoretic discussion which relates and yet distinguishes between three levels of performance in film: filmmaking performance, performances as text and cultural performances. The theory is grounded within four films which were researched for this thesis: Once Were Warriors (Lee Tamahori, 1994), Rats in the Ranks (Bob

Abstract:

As digital storage of data continues to grow it is increasingly difficult to find information on demand, particularly in unstructured text documents. Unstructured documents lack explicit record definitions or other metadata that can facilitate retrieval. Yet, digital information is increasingly stored in unstructured documents. Manual or human-assisted indexing of unstructured documents is time consuming and expensive. Automated retrieval techniques, such as those used by Internet search engines, have a variety of limitations including depth and breadth of coverage and frequency of update. In

Abstract:

This paper considers two purposes for actor training—textual interpretation and devising original works—through the teaching of a class based on contemporary theatrical clown and physical theatre exercises which are then applied to Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Devised work can be used to interpret a script, and a script can be used as a jumping-off point to devise new works. Beginning with an explanation of the teaching methods for the class, the paper then gives a background of clowns who performed in Beckett’s plays, and analyzes various productions' use of games to enliven text.

Abstract:

Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), a total probability generative model, is a three-tier Bayesian model. LDA computes the latent topic structure of the data and obtains the significant information of documents. However, traditional LDA has several limitations in practical applications. LDA cannot be directly used in classification because it is a non-supervised learning model. It needs to be embedded into appropriate classification algorithms. LDA is a generative model as it normally generates the latent topics in the categories where the target documents do not belong to, producing the deviat

Abstract:

My central concern in this thesis is to develop an artistic language that arises from the use of the Greek and Latin alphabet as well as from Greek and English words. In my native country, Greece, there is a tradition of great symbolic significance attached to letters and numbers. By examining the visual, the semiological as well as the psychological aspects of symbolism, I created artistic works that were based on the use of type and text in contemporary fine arts, through the female subjectivity.

This paper investigates different ways of writing as creative invention for the writer/director/deviser.

In the first chapter the playwright as author is examined in relation to a historical view of the dramatic text. My own background as a playwright is treated in the context of the challenge to the written text experienced by contemporary playwrights as visual and physical elements of perform

Abstract:

Social memory research has complicated the relationship between past and present as that relationship finds expression in memorial acts (storytelling, music- and image-making, textproduction, and so on). This relationship has emerged as a dialectic in which the phenomena 'past' and 'present' are mutually constitutive and implicating. The resultant 'messiness' directly affects the procedures and products of 'historicaI Jesus' research, which has especially depended upon the assumption that we can neatly and cleanly separate 'authentic' (past) from 'inauthentic' (present) traditions.

This thesis is about the ways in which Thomas Middleton and William Rowley’s play The Changeling has been edited, performed, and archived in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It proposes a more integrated way of looking at the histories of performances and texts than is usually employed by the institutions of Shakespeare and early modern studies. Crucially, it suggests that documented archival remains of performance should be admitted as textual witnesses of a play’s history, and given equal status with academic, scholarly editions. I argue that—despite at least a century of arguments

In the canon of piano repertoire, Chopin's music is some of the most frequently performed. In the past few decades, scholarship on 19th-century performance practice has invited performers to consider afresh deeply entrenched performance traditions and question whether they bear loyalty to Chopin's original intentions, as best as those can be understood from this distance in time. More so than with the music of some other composers, there arguably exists a particularly rich and complex oral tradition surrounding Chopin's music, which is heavily relied on in pedagogy.
