Abstract:
The "linguistic turn" in early twentieth-century philosophy established that through language we not only live in a world but create it as well. Language, in this sense, incorporates the entire range of media and cultural artifacts through which we create and share meaning. In contemporary post-industrial societies, photographic images play a central role in communicating and creating the world in which we live. In part, this increasingly visually oriented culture is possible because we tend to equate what we see in photographs with what is real. Photographs, however, bring to light a vision of the world, not the world itself. From the inception of photography, traditions of aesthetic interpretation have challenged this dominant view. Here, the created image becomes a vehicle for the artist's unique expression. Proponents of social scientific and critique of ideology perspectives, however, reject the aesthetic view and typically see art objects as social constructs, instruments which enhance and maintain a certain social order. Each of these perspectives ultimately holds that the meaning of photographs can be determined objectively. At the same time, each presents a world view which tends to exclude the insights of the others. Any attempt to preserve the apparent insights of these views must, then, transcend the basic contradictions and incompatibilities between them. Philosophical hermeneutics holds that the presumption of an absolute, objective grounding represents a failure to grasp the nature of the path toward understanding, a path which can never arrive at its destination because it always exists in history. It argues that (1) the photograph cannot be transparent to the world for the world is constituted in our representations of it; (2) art is a creation whose origin and meaning always exceeds the artist's own understanding of it; (3) critique is not the application of universal reason but a reading from a particular vantage point and is always grounded in a tradition of its own. Most importantly, however, it calls us to recognize the participatory nature of all understanding, the universality of language and provides a criterion for assessing the relative value of our interpretations across the entire language world.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the visual interpretation of one particular landscape motif – woodland and forests. The primary research was undertaken through the production of a major body of photographic work, which has been published in both exhibition and book form. A compact disc containing images of the exhibition installation is included here. The thesis sets out to contextualise and interrogate the practical work through a series of sections that begin with a chronological autobiographical account of the influences that have shaped the artist’s creative ideas and responses to the landscape. An overview of the history of the representation of trees and forests in both western and eastern societies places the work in an historical and social context. The painting and photographic artistic traditions are discussed. The practical methodologies are discussed, including the technical aspects of the equipment and materials selected to make the images through which the primary research was conducted. The subsequent production, publication and public display of the finished practical work was a major element, which led to the interpretation of the research and this is discussed in detail. The outcome of this work is then interrogated in depth, and how the various locations photographed and the strategies adopted, succeeded in the research objective of expressing a wide range of responses to the landscape via the interpretation of one motif.

Abstract:
Thesis (MA (Visual Art))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis is bemoei met die wyse waarop die fotobeeld konvensioneel aan 'n mimetiese kode van "gedrag" onderhewig is, met die gevolg dat alternatiewe voorstellingsfunksies dikwels buite oorweging gehou word. 'n Interessante area van ondersoek word blootgestel wanneer die komplekse verhouding tussen die toeskouer en beeld betrek word om die broosheid van eersgenoemde se agentskap in die waarnemingproses te beklemtoon. Dit is dus vanuit hierdie gewaarwording dat ek my bespreking van die fotobeeld grotendeels binne 'n psigoanalitiese raamwerk situeer en aan die hand van konsepte soos Einfühlung, die Lacanian Real en John Dewey (2005) se teorie van kuns as ervaring, bespreek. Die skynbaar teenstrydige aard van die fotobeeld as (onder andere) beide mimetiese realiteitskopie en piktoriale fiksie, ooglopend onafhanklik van taal en eweveel deurspek met diskursiewe vertolkings, openbaar volgens my egter die ideale vertrekpunt vanwaar fotografie se voorstellingsfunksie heroorweeg kan word. Dié opponerende tweespalt, wat as kenmerkende karaktertrekke van die fotobeeld na vore tree, noop die toeskouer om die beeld met 'n verhoogde sensitiwiteit te benader – met die gevolg dat die foto se onlosmaaklike skakel met "haar"1 diskursiewe grense en aptyt vir die "onsêbare" as konstruktiewe koalisie gesien word. Die fotografiese werk van Lien Botha, veral haar Amendment–reeks (2006) en Parrot Jungle (2009), sal deurentyd as visuele bevestiging van my argumente betrek word.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis is concerned with the way in which the photographic image has conventionally been subject to a mimetic code of "behaviour", resulting in the marginalization of alternative, representational functions. An interesting area of study is, however, laid bare when the complex relationship between the viewer and image initiates a discussion around the former's wavering position as autonomous agent within the observation process. Using this awareness as a point of departure, my discussion will be primarily situated within a psychoanalytic framework by focusing partly on concepts like Einfühlung, the Lacanian Real and John Dewey's theory of art as experience. An apparent dualistic rivalry, that situates the photo-image simultaneously as a mimetic agent of reality and pictorial fiction, apparently devoid of language and equally riddled with discursive interpretations, serves furthermore as an ideal complication of the photograph's conventional, representational function. These opposing "forces", recognizable as a typical characteristic of the photographic image, subtly challenges the viewer to regard it with a heightened sensitivity – resulting in an awareness that the photograph's inseparable bond with its discursive boundaries, and appetite for the "unrepresentational", does in fact represent a constructive coalition. The photographic work of Lien Botha, especially her Amendment-series (2006) and Parrot Jungle (2009) will serve as a visual emphasis of my arguments.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate three sources of geographical information, False Color Composite, Band 5 and Band 7 images of Satellite LANDSAT-2, applied in the detection and delimitation of land cover areas in a case study in the Republic of Venezuela. Previous bibliographic references stated the existence of deciduous, semi-deciduous and evergreen woody vegetation communities in different stages of openess (forest, woodlands, shrublands and thickets) and grasslands, in addition to some kinds of tropical agricultural practices (grazing and cropping areas). The identification of these land cover types was accomplished by visual discrimination of colors in the FCC image and of tones in the Bands 5 and 7. FCC image gave the most complete identification of vegetation communities, agricultural practices and burned areas. Band 7 provided the most accurate delimination of burned areas, water bodies and evergreen forest. Band 5 permited the clearest identification of stages of openess in the vegetation.

Abstract:
Urban landscape, especially parks, mainly provide a wide range of disciplines, such as physical recreation, social interaction to urban residents. It has been associated with physical features of environments and nature. Today, urban parks are perceived as far more than just recreation or scenery. Urban park also constitutes social and cultural value at city level. This study seeks to investigate and challenge how to understand landscape perception and dialog between urban park and community through the interpretation of photographic social media (Instagram). The study also draws further discussion on reciprocity between urban landscape and photography as well as environmental psychology, focusing on cognitive map and environmental meaning. It also suggests possible strategies of future urban intervention and policy, in particular, promoting well being and pro-environmental behavior.

Resumo: O estudo das relações entre a zona de estiramento e a tenacidade à fratura dos materiais para uso em estruturas mecânicas tem encontrado grande interesse no meio científico e tecnológico. Entretanto, grandes restrições vêm sendo encontradas quanto à adoção de técnicas para sua avaliação, o que tem implicado em uma pequena quantidade de trabalhos sobre a geometria dessa região. Desta forma, este trabalho visa o desenvolvimento de um método para análise da superfície da zona de estiramento, baseado nos conceitos das medições de paralaxe e em técnicas de processamento digital de imagens, buscando estabelecer critérios mais precisos para a definição de seus limites naturais e estudar a evolução de sua geometria, através da análise de perfis. O algoritmo para reconstrução tridimensional foi inteiramente desenvolvido dentro do ambiente gráfico do programa KHOROS, criado por pesquisadores da New Mexico University. Empregando-se técnicas de observação em microscópio eletrônico de varredura especialmente adaptadas para este trabalho, foram fotografados pares estereoscópicos de zonas de estiramento formadas em superfícies de fratura de amostras da liga AI 7050, obtidas em ensaios mecânicos para determinação do CTOD crítico, seguindo orientações do método EGF PI-87-D. Assim, foram obtidos perfis de elevação que permitiram realizar medições de parâmetros como a largura e a altura da zona de estiramento, bem como estudar a evolução de sua geometria. A zona de estiramento apresenta relevo muito acidentado, o que provoca uma dispersão natural dos resultados, apesar do emprego de uma definição consistente para a identificação de seus limites. Conclui-se que os perfis da região, desde que sob estado de deformação plana, podem ter sua geometria média descrita pela forma de uma semi-parábola. Esses resultados levaram a concluir que a metodologia e o algoritmo desenvolvidos têm aplicação viável na fractografia quantitativa
Abstract: The study about stretch zone and materiaIs fracture toughness behaviour has been found remarkable interest in the science and technology field. Moreover, there are many restrictions about the use of measurement techniques, noted by a low number of published works related to stretch zone geometry. The goal of this research is to develop a method for stretch zone surface analysis, based on parallax measurement theory using digital image processing techniques, to stablish accurated criteria for its natural boundaries detinition and to study its geometrical evolution, by profilometric analysis. The three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm has been fully developed using the graphic interface of KHOROS program, created by New Mexico University researchers. By means of particular scanning electron microscopy techniques, stretch zone stereo pairs of AI 7050 alloy fracture surfaces were photographed as indicated by EGF Pl-87-D method. These fracture surfaces were obtained from CTOD testing. The reconstructed surfaces were analysed by means of profiles, to measure width and heigth parameters of the stretch zone and to study its geometry. Because the complex stretch zone surface topographies, it was observed a large but natural dispersion of size data, despite the use of a reliable definition for region boundaries identification. So, it is concluded that stretch zone profiles mean geometry, under plane strain, can be described by the semi-parabolic shape. Finally, the results let to conclude that developed methodology and algorithm has viable use for quantitative fractographic analysis

Resumo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo principal delinear e esclarecer as inserções da antropóloga norte-americana Margaret Mead nos campos da Antropologia Visual e da Antropologia da Comunicação Visual. Através dos recursos da Reserva Técnica de Bolsa (FAPESP), foram adquiridas obras da autora pouco conhecidas no Brasil. A partir delas, levantamos todos os seus envolvimentos com o uso das imagens fotográficas e fílmicas. A consideração conjunta das principais reflexões escritas da referida antropóloga sobre o tema permitiu, então, diferenciar suas proposições programáticas (na forma de artigos) daquilo que efetivamente realizou, em termos visuais, ao longo de sua obra. Nesta última, selecionamos, para um exame mais detido, um trabalho fotográfico específico e analiticamente complexo ¿ Balinese Character (Bateson e Mead, 1942) ¿, no sentido de delimitar princípios metodológicos gerais, capazes de presidir à constituição de um discurso antropológico não ancorado exclusivamente na expressão escrita. Uma série paralela de fotografias, organizadas cuidadosamente na dupla perspectiva dada pelas expressões verbais e visuais, foi constituída de maneira a possibilitar uma reflexão efetiva em torno das questões tratadas no texto que ora apresentamos
Abstract: This work is about the relations between visual and verbal expressions in the anthropological discourse. The major focus is on the uses of the images (photographs) in the researches and publications of the anthropologist Margaret Mead (with her various partners: Gregory Bateson, Paul Byers, Ken Heyman and others). Sixty two verbal-visual compositions are presented to demonstrate the potentialities and the limitations of the verbal and visual expressions arranged side by side. The results show us that the propositions of Margaret Mead must be reconsidered in the light of the different uses of the images in her works. In this way, a part of the history of Visual Anthropology is delineated and indicates significatives possibilities of enrichment in this and in correlated fields of the humanities

Abstract:
To date aerial photography and associated photogrammetric and photo-interpretation techniques have played but a limited role in the planning process. In this study their dual role (i) as a base medium and (ii) as a source of data is investigated bearing in mind the requirements of planning data and certain inherent defects of conventional maps in the planning process. Having considered certain pertinent technical aspects of aerial photography and associated techniques, especially modern developments such as orthophotos, use of multi-emulsion photography, automated data extraction and automated data processing techniques, the application of these techniques is discussed in greater detail in respect of the dual role mentioned earlier. Aerial photographs are shown to be of considerable value to the planner as an analytic tool and a powerful source of data when dealing with such topics as feasibility studies, land use, resource surveys, urban and regional research and analysis, urban history, urban and rural administration, site evaluation, transportation and other. branches of engineering, urban sociology and economics, as well as urban aesthetics. Aerial photographic data adequately meets the data requirements of the planning process and furthermore lends itself to modern automatic data processing methods. The modern improved forms of photography, i.e. photomaps, orthophotos, etc. have definite advantages over conventional maps insofar as a base medium in planning is concerned, and the wider use of aerial photographs and products is anticipated when planners become more aware of their universal application and versatility.

Abstract:
The photographic series Ideal Cities that I started in 2011 is inspired by the conflict between my idea of the “west” and my evolving experience in the United States. What struck me was the popularity of what I see as model experience – a spatial experience controlled by the Spectacle. In the terms of the Situationist International and its most prominent figure Guy Debord, the Spectacle is the collapse of reality into the streams of images, products and activities sanctioned by centralized monopolist business or state bureaucracy. Thus, personal experience is replaced with preconceived notions, which control the way people perceive and understand their surroundings.

Bibliography: pages 109-111.
Dispossession, aspects of conflict and the breakdown of the relationship between people and their environment is the subject of this thesis. The body of work presented consists of twenty-four photographs and sixteen screen-printed off-set lithographs (referred to as the prints). The photographs are largely intended to introduce and contextualize the prints which act as the main body and conclusion of the thesis. In the series of prints I have manipulated certain photographic imagery in order to explore the ways in which meaning can shift with changes in context, and reveal associations not apparent in the original photographs. This book is divided into four sections: 1. Sources and context: This section contains a brief outline of the historical tradition of apocalyptic literature and its relevance to our times, as well as a discussion of some of the literary texts to which I have referred. All the visual source material for my prints was derived from my own photographs. As a result, I have not looked to other artist's works for reference, or for the development of my theme. Of great importance, however, were the texts I read during the course of my study, which included a wide and diverse range of literature and poetry. I have also looked to film as a source, including popular cinema such as George Miller's "Mad Max" series, as well as the more serious aspects of cinema, for example, the films of Francis Ford Coppola, Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders. While my prints do not necessarily fall within the mainstream of apocalyptic, they have in common with it, a particular attitude towards the present. It is the vision of imminent chaos and the desire for a return to a restored natural order that has informed my work. 2. My working methods and their implications: This section contains an explication of the processes involved in the making of the prints, and the manner in which these processes contributed to the meaning of the images. Also included is a discussion of the relationship between my photography and my printmaking. 3. Introduction to the work: This section introduces my theme. In my photographs I have documented those aspects of southern African urban and rural landscape which reveal evidence of the erosion of the natural environment, as well as the physical manifestations of displacement. In my prints, I have disintegrated, translated and recontextualised these images. While the theme of my work lies within the broad context of apocalyptic, it is the individual's conflicts and sense of displacement within that context that has been of particular interest to me. As the apocalypticist expressed the tensions and conflicts of his time in a language of symbols, so I have similarly presented a response to my environment. It is not my intention in this section to present an interpretation of my work, but rather to highlight those aspects important to an understanding of the motives I had in making the images. In addition, this book includes documentation of the photographs and prints, preparatory sketches and collages, reproductions of source photographs, and a selection of literary texts which informed the work.

Abstract:
This research examines the natural habitat dioramas created by Major P.H.G. Powell-Cotton, in doing so it affects a remembering of a sense of place where a diorama reflects in Mieke Bal's view a three-dimensionality that draws on architectural space; it then considers the three dimensional representation of the landscape within the diorama itself; the two-dimensional illusion of a trompe l'oeil landscape painting; and the exterior space occupied by the viewer. The Powell-Cotton natural habitat dioramas exist behind large glass screens their purpose follows an aesthetic relationship with the emergence of the natural habitat diorama and the ability to transfix perception through the re-interpretation of an idyll. The potential for this practice-based research was to explore the possibility of developing an aesthetic for sculpture and architectural space. However in focussing on the Powell-Cotton dioramas the notion of aesthetic attitude would lose ground due to their idiosyncratic, artificial, and extraordinary nature, it then prepared the basis of interpretation in establishing 'theatres of landscape' as an open concept. With landscape, a sense of place anticipates various positions and numerous delays; it recollects the cognitive knowledge brought to the prospect that involves aspects in, of and about landscape. Regarding the studio-based project, the diorama was placed between the real and the unreal, challenging Bal's rationale of the cognitive relationship of a diorama to the concept of a discursive space. Where both artist and viewer 'activates' this space with their presence, they bring their own recollection of landscape and by assigning landscape with memory the potentiality is where cognition becomes accentuated. Whereas the unknown and uncharted can refute reality, memory is dependent on what is known both formally and informally, it places the natural habitat diorama in a visual system that is both constructive and destructive. Therefore the research methodology examines the historical context of the diorama through a doctoral thesis by Karen Wonders and an analysis of Louis Daguerre's diorama by Richard Altick. Following Bal's analysis of the diorama, this created a dilemma - in what ways are the perceptions of the observer determined, and how are they undermined? Jonathan Crary and Giuliana Bruno considered the diorama's position in relation to film and film archaeology, which ultimately the diorama and natural habitat diorama could not compete with. In asking what has Powell-Cotton's museum to offer in the 21st century, this thesis examines the concept of a diorama, its objectives and correspondingly its failings. As the dioramas in the Powell-Cotton Museum were undocumented, these dioramas and their written, visual and architectural relationship to Louis Daguerre offer a contribution to knowledge concurrent with the relationship of this practice based research project. Whereupon the research diary forms the basis of a contribution to new knowledge in the construction of small and large-scale dioramas, sculpture and installations. By challenging Bal's analysis this research practice would investigate natural and projected light and the visual language of transparency, translucency and opacity in the representation of landscape and landscape as motif, and progressing to the structural implications of 2D and 3D work.

Abstract:
La thèse poursuit comme objectif d’explorer la liaison entre le projet de paysage, conçu comme une intention de transformation soit matérielle soit immatérielle du territoire, en relation à la pratique photographique. Il s’agit d’une enquête interdisciplinaire qui essaie de comprendre les interactions possibles entre les deux matières, évitant une soumission de l’une à l’autre. Se matérialise un champ de recherche sur la culture du projet, orienté à déterminer les possibilités d’utilisation de la photographie comme contribution aux pratiques de conception de l’espace. L’étude problématique pose les questions suivantes: La photographie en tant que représentation et interprétation critique, joue-t-elle un rôle dans le processus matériel et immatériel de transformation du territoire? Quel est l’impact/l’influence sur la pensée projective d’une pratique de fragmentation sélective du paysage? Un mécanisme de re-production du réel, tel que la photographie, peut-il proposer une manière tangible de concevoir l’espace?Pour répondre à cette problématique la recherche développe une démarche méthodologique qui souhaite combiner un double niveau d’étude. D’un côté le parcours de connaissance générale, interrogeant le statut de la photographie en relation au paysage, au-delà d’une simple catégorisation d’un genre photographique. De l’autre côté une pratique expérimentale de l’action photographique dans le cadre d’une transformation de la côte du Sulcis Iglesiente, en Sardaigne: une tentative de représentation critique du territoire. La reconstruction d’une image du territoire passe par une prise de conscience et une mise en perspective de son évolution. L'intérêt général est de pouvoir construire la notion de « vision paysagère » comme action de voir spécifique, évitant la formation des stéréotypes ; une pratique capable de proposer un regard interprétative sur le paysage à travers le filtre de l’appareil photographique
The thesis aims at exploring the relationship between the landscape project, conceived as a discipline able to transform the material and immaterial territory, and the photographic practice . It is an interdisciplinary research that attempts to understand the possible interactions between the two branches of knowledge, avoiding the submission of one over the other. It is so conceived a field of research on the design culture oriented to determine the potential use of photography as a contribution to the conception of space. The study highlights some key issues: Can the photography, as representation and critical interpretation, perform a role in the process of transformation of the material and immaterial territory? What is the influence of a practice of selective fragmentation of the landscape on the design thinking? May a mechanism of reproduction of the reality propose a concrete way of conceiving the space?In order to answer these questions the research developed a methodology oriented to the combination of two levels of study. On the one hand the creation of a broad knowledge which examines the status of the photography in relation to the landscape, going beyond the simple categorization of a photographic genre. On the other hand an experimental practice of photographic action in the context of the coastal landscape of the Sulcis-Iglesias, in Sardinia. It is an effort aimed at a critical representation of the territory. The aim is to build a concept of vision paysagère, as a specific visual action, which avoids the formation of stereotypes. A practice able to offer an interpretative view on the landscape

Abstract:
Dans le cadre de l'acquisition des donnees topographiques de precision metrique (bdtopo) par interpretation d'images aeriennes de resolution proche de 50 cm, les recherches du laboratoire matis ont aborde l'extraction du reseau routier. Des approches semi-automatiques aux approches tout automatiques, tous ces travaux ont demontre que l'obtention d'un reseau routier coherent et respectant les specifications cartographiques necessitait de prendre en compte le probleme des carrefours. De plus, dans l'avenir, les carrefours seront au centre des problematiques de mise a jour. L'analyse d'images necessite la mise en place de raisonnements parfois tres complexes dus a la variabilite geometrique et radiometrique des formes a detecter. Afin de faciliter cette analyse, une base de donnees cartographiques (bdcarto) de precision decametrique est utilisee pour proposer une representation approchee du carrefour. Le respect de la precision geometrique, de la topologie, de la forme de l'objet et une exigence de fiabilite constituent les principaux objectifs de notre travail. La strategie s'appuie sur une modelisation des carrefours issus de la bdcarto pour se focaliser et interpreter certaines zones de l'image. Une analyse de la bdcarto a partir d'un systeme a base de regles fournit une description simpliste du carrefour a recaler et a enrichir par une analyse de l'image. Un mecanisme d'auto-evaluation definit, a chaque etape du processus, une mesure de confiance dans l'information proposee. La reconstruction permet ensuite de proposer une representation du carrefour globalement coherente (radiometrie et geometrie) et respectant les criteres cartographiques de forme et de lisibilite. Enfin, la prise en compte d'un grand nombre d'exemples nous a permis de parametrer le systeme et d'analyser les resultats. Pour finir, ce travail a ete integre dans un systeme plus global d'extraction du reseau routier demontrant son caractere applicatif et l'objectif operationnel de ce travail.

Full text
Abstract:
The building blocks of a sedimentary system are essential inputs into studies of reservoir character and comparisons with other sedimentary systems. Yet, our current knowledge of the building blocks of deep water slope channel deposits is still largely speculative. A quantitative approach has been utilised in order to analyse a host of lithological data and objectively identify these sedimentary components. The laterally-extensive and gently-dipping continental slope deposits of the San Fernando Channel System, Baja California, provide the required control on sub-seismic-scale temporal and lateral variations of lithofacies and 3D architecture. High resolution photo-panoramas (with better than 2mm accuracy) of the prominent conglomeratic component of the succession were collected from various key parts of the outcrop. Image analysis of segments extracted from the photo-panoramas generates key parameters for comparison of texture and fabric of conglomerates, such as clast to matrix ratio, major axis length and relative orientation. Statistical analysis of these data enabled the erection of an objective lithofacies scheme for the gravel fraction, the grouping of lithofacies into objectively-defined assemblages, and the establishment of models for the lateral and stratigraphic distributions of these assemblages. 12 lithofacies were objectively identified through hierarchical cluster analysis of 4 quantitative lithological parameters. Statistical analyses indicate significant differences in diversity in the lithofacies assemblages between the early and later parts (termed Stage 1 and Stage 2) of a channel complex set (sensu Sprague, et al., 2002), and to a lesser extent between marginal and axial parts of the system. These can be related to spatial differences and temporal changes in the nature of the turbidity currents flowing through the channel system. Gravelly units become more organised and less diverse with time in one CCS, and each successive CCS more organised at earlier stratigraphic levels than the next, except for the last CCS which is interpreted as influenced by a tectonic paroxysm. These seemingly autocyclic changes in organisation are interpreted as process-responses to changes in equilibrium profile as the nature of confinement changes with the infilling of an initial erosional confinement, to confinement by a master levee and gradual infilling through the evolution of each CCS.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines what is intended and understood as the meaning of contemporary dance in its sociocultural context, in which the role of the state is a significant factor. It investigates the extent to which the structures and practices of public arts funding influence the production and reception of contemporary dance, focusing on British and French dance in the 1990s. By focusing on specific works in critically reflexive terms, it seeks to offer a basis for future ethnographic study of dance practices and dance audiences. The thesis employs a critical hermeneutic method, offering a philosophical reflection on dance as well as exploring the mutual implication of artistic practice, aesthetic response and their socio-political and economic contexts. The philosophical grounding of the investigation is explored in detail, in order to support a reflexive engagement of methodological issues of broader relevance to the discipline of dance studies. The relation between verbal language and dance is critically examined: drawing from Saussure and Wittgenstein, the argument is made for the contextual determination of meaning in both these "forms of life". A discussion of aesthetic and anthropological theories which recognise the mutual implication of artwork and context is followed by a reflection on the methods of dance analysis that most effectively explore the extent and character of that implication. Phenomenological and hermeneutic approaches are discussed, including methods derived and adapted from the study of literature which focus analytic attention on the reception rather than production of texts. An emphasis on spectatorship and dance interpretation seeks to redress what is argued as an imbalance in dance studies, namely the privileging of the perspectives of choreographing and performing subjects in dance analysis. The empirical investigation explores the structure and development, since 1945, of what is termed the "cultural institution", namely the set of conventions and practices which both enable and constrain the production and reception of contemporary dance art. It is argued that the state, through intervention via policy formulation and subsidy distribution, has played a key role in setting parameters within the "danceworld", a subsidiary of the broader cultural institution and the environment which contexts contemporary dance performance. An overview of the politico-economic conditions of dance in the 1990s is presented, and four case studies then extend this discussion by exploring how those conditions are actualised on individual sites of dance productionand reception. Four works are examined in detail (Kim Brandstrup's Crime Fictions, Russell Maliphant's Unspoken, Daniel Larrieu's Mobile and Herve Robbe's ld. ), in terms of their institutional context and the viewing experiences to which they give rise, arguing for a connection between the types of aesthetic response articulated and the institutional conditions in which the works are performed and received. The thesis argues against a determinist relation between the politico-economic context and the aesthetics of dance, proposing instead that these two dimensions of contemporary dance practice need to be examined conjointly. It seeks to demonstrate that this is crucial, if the current condition of contemporary dance in Britain and France is to be both understood and critically appraised.

Every city/place has unique, distinctive qualities. Individuals acquire a sense of place in accordance with their own experiences and perspectives, which may not be the same as the experiences and viewpoints of another person. In this project, I explore, analyze, and re-interpret three places that have creatively and emotionally influenced me and remained in my memory: Times Square, New York City; Insadong, Seoul, South Korea; and Broad Street, Richmond, Virginia. To comprehend and draw a sense of place, I observe, feel, and document the characteristics of each place through different methods and processes, based on my own experiences. In addition, I integrate, apply, and transform my experiences and emotional reaction to the objects, obtained from each place, into new visual form to grasp how the built environment can be used as inspiration and stimulus in developing creative methods and processes in graphic design.

This paper aims to analyze Sebastião Salgado’s photographs about the region of Serra Pelada and its gold-mining activities that took place mainly from 1980 to 1992. This study focuses mainly in a photo series called Ouro, Serra Pelada, Brasil (Gold, Serra Pelada, Brazil), which is part of Salgado’s masterpiece Workers (1996). This monumental body of photographic work depicts what was coined by the Brazilian media at that time “a human ant nest”. The methodology used in this study is an analysis of document-based bibliographical research on reference papers about Salgado’s work as well as other journalistic photos of the gold mine pits, such as the ones published in Brazilian journalist Ricardo Kotscho’s book Serra Pelada: uma ferida aberta na selva (1984). The main theoretical concept used was Roland Barthes’ semiology, particularly the Barthesian concept of myth – viewed as a system of signs that indefinitely expands the initial representations of the meaning. The theoretical framework of this paper also relies on reference studies on the Barthesian critique. The assumption of this study is that Salgado’s photographic work relies on the process of super construction of themes – as most photographers do – as described in Barthes’ Mythologies. This is thought to be a relevant theme for investigation because no scholars have scrutinized Salgado’s Serra Pelada yet – hence this attempt to analyze Salgado’s work from an academic perspective
Esta tese contempla as fotografias feitas em Serra Pelada, p garimpo ativo no Pará no período de 1980 a 1992, por Sebastião Salgado. Dentre os muitos registros realizados em meio ao “formigueiro humano” do garimpo, segundo metáfora que lhe foi atribuída pela imprensa da época, elege-se como corpus principal da pesquisa a série fotográfica “Ouro, Serra Pelada, Brasil”, que consta da obra monumental intitulada Trabalhadores (1996), do renomado fotógrafo brasileiro. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa é bibliográfica e documental, abarcando obras de referência sobre a fotografia e as imagens, assim como reportagens de impacto sobre o referido formigueiro, como aquelas do jornalista Ricardo Kotscho, publicadas no livro Serra Pelada: uma ferida aberta na selva (1984). O principal referencial da pesquisa é a semiologia de Roland Barthes e mais especificamente o conceito barthesiano de “mito”, entendido como sistema conotado que distende abusivamente o sentido das representações iniciais de que parte. Tal base teórica demanda ainda a consideração de estudos abalizados sobre a crítica barthesiana. Trabalhamos com a hipótese de que a cobertura fotográfica em questão incorre naquilo que, em Mitologias, Barthes chama a “sobreconstrução” do tema pelo fotógrafo. A relevância da pesquisa prende-se ao fato de não haver, por ora, recepção acadêmica dos testemunhos fotográficos de Serra Pelada e à tentativa que aqui se leva a cabo de pensar as imagens de Salgado

Abstract:
The purpose of this essay is to examine documentary photographs using art-science methods. The subject of the analyzes is photographer Lauren Greenfield’s project Generation Wealth, which reflects the Western consumer culture of our time. From a social-constructivist perspective, three photographs from this 25-year project are examined. These three photographs follow the theme of money and portray three different occasions that are not related to each other, but which are linked here as three subsequent steps in the theme. With the help of Erwin Panofsky's iconological interpretation model, the photographs are examined to reach a deeper meaning than merely documents about an event or of specific individuals. The iconological interpretation helps to put the photographs in a wider context which makes them symbols of our time. On the basis of the preparatory analyzes, connections are made with art historical works that both visually and contextually becomes keys in the interpretation. The photography of Phoebe 17 years becomes a symbol of the role of young people, especially girls, as objects in a consumer system. Eli Broad Dinner Party symbolizes how money controls the art market while this photograph also play with gender order. The photograph of Florian Homm becomes evidence of the emptiness that comes with the quest to constantly achieve financial success.  The analyzes also discuss the division between documentary photography and art photography with the conclusion that such a division inhibits the photograph's sub-meanings. Such a division becomes a clear sign of social constructions and it’s need to categorize and place them in different fields. The essay discusses photography as a reality portrayal. This is a complex discussion which determines of the context in which the photograph is located. By simultaneously seeking an understanding of photography as a medium and by reading photography as a text, the photographs shows how social constructs are inherited and contribute to standards that keep people trapped in the culture of consumption.

Abstract:
25 années ont passé depuis la chute du mur de Berlin. Cependant, le chemin vers l’« union intérieure », comme l’a prônée Helmut Kohl en 1997, est encore long. Mystification et standardisation marquent le discours normatif et médiatique. Le temps semble être venu de chercher de nouveaux paradigmes ; c’est ce que tente d’apporter ce travail. Par le biais d’un procédé méthodique qualitatif novateur à partir de photo-interviews biographiques analysées avec la méthode documentaire, il propose une nouvelle perspective sur les questions d’identité et de socialisation. L’étude porte sur la façon dont les anciens citoyens de RDA, dans la confrontation avec leurs photos du passé, gèrent « habituellement » (en référence au concept d’habitus) leurs identités personnelle et sociale, ainsi que les attentes normatives. Le but est de reconstruire les structures de savoirs qui guident l’interaction et, allant plus loin, la construction de l’identité du Moi. Il s’agit d’observer si des signes de travail identitaire sont visibles, et si oui, quels sont les facteurs déterminants. À partir de l’analyse des photographies privées et de leur réception, je démontre que les individus disposent de ressources habituelles qui déterminent la construction identitaire. Ces ressources dépendent fortement d’expériences de reconnaissance qui, en partie, ont été expérimentées dans l’environnement primaire (famille et groupe de pairs). Un rôle décisif joue par ailleurs l’expérience d’une « désintégration sociale ». Je montre également que d’éventuelles césures, dans le contexte de la Réunification, étaient primairement dues à des changements à un niveau social et individuel, et non pas systémique
25 years have passed since the fall of the Berlin wall. However, the way to an « inner union » –praised by Helmut Kohl in 1997 –is still long. Mystification and standardisation shape the normative and medial discourse. The time seems to have come to search for new paradigmata, which this thesis wants to achieve. With the help of an innovative qualitative methodological approach, this study suggests a new perspective on questions of identity and socialisation. It is based on the analysis of biography-oriented photo-interviews with the documentary method. The examination of how former GDR citizens deal with their photographs of the past, aims at exploring how they « habitually » (referring to the concept of habitus) deal with personal and social identity as well as with normative expectations. The goal of the study is to examine underlying structures of knowledge that guide the interaction and thus the construction of Self-Identity. This project was to observe if signs of identity work can be found and, if yes, which factors are decisive. The study of the private photographs and their reception finally demonstrates that individuals are « equipped » with habitual resources that determine their way of constructing identity. These resources strongly depend on experiences with recognition, which have partially been made by these individuals in the primary environment, such as in the family or amongst peers. Furthermore, the experience of « social disintegration » has a prominent part to play. It can be seen that disruptions, in the context of the Reunification, primarily depend on changes on an individual and social level, and not on a systemic one

Abstract:
Mapwork is an established part of the geography curriculum, and yet it poses particular problems for pupils and teachers. Maps participate in a complex system of graphic communication: the conceptual abstraction involved in the reading and interpretation of maps requires on the part of pupils a high degree of cognitive and perceptual development; teachers, too, often experience considerable difficulty in imparting the skills necessary for graphic literacy (graphicacy). The peculiar difficulties associated with map reading and the poor performance of pupils in this area have regrettably encouraged an attitude which dismisses mapwork as irrelevant or dispensable in geographical education. Yet graphicacy is essential not only in the learning of geography but in the overall cognitive development of the child, and therefore cannot be excluded from the curriculum. This study attempts to identify some of the specific difficulties experienced by pupils in their attempts to read and interpret maps, and to trace the origin of these difficulties. It argues that the complexity and sophistication of the skills necessary to interpret topographical maps and aerial photographs, for instance, should not be underestimated. Teachers need to be made aware of how pupils acquire map reading skills and of the problems they encounter during this process, so that teaching programmes commensurate with pupils' level of cognitive development can be formulated. It is also important that mapwork be taught in as practical a manner as possible. The findings and recommendations of this study have implications for geography teachers, textbook writers and educational authorities, especially those involved in curriculum and syllabus design.

Interpretations of the Politics of Fictive Landscapes in Context: A Comparison of Allan Sekula's Sketch on a Geography Lesson and Martha Rosler's In the Place of the Public Airport Series Throughout this thesis project I examine the geopolitical context(s) of the photographs featured in Martha Rosler's 'In the Place of the Public Airport Series' (1983) and Allan Sekula's series, 'Sketch on a Geography Lesson' (1982). I investigate the manner in which they question the legitimacy of the genre of documentary photography within the post-modern age by emphasizing the documentation of an actual physical place, presenting an alternative to the post-modern notion of photograph merely as another component of simulacra, or the intentional creation of an image without meaning or origin. By looking at photographs that Rosler and Sekula made during the burgeoning stages of post-modern theory, presents a broader interpretation of the development of Marxist documentary photography from the early 1980's to today. One way in which I dialogue with the discourse surrounding documentary photography in the 1980's is to focus on Rosler's and Sekula's intentional choice of material that emphasizes the political dialogue rather than concepts that are abstract and maintain no reference to real life. Furthermore, the period of the 1980's is considered a point in contemporary art history when the political fervor of the 1960's and early 1970's diminished greatly. Departing from this trend, Rosler's and Sekula's work continues to address political ideas throughout the 1980's, creating a bridge to today's photographers, such as Edward Burtynsky and Andreas Gursky who consider aesthetics from a socio-political perspective.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis I investigate the radical reframing of maternal representation in the photographic series by Cape Town-based artist Svea Josephy (b. 1969), entitled Confinement 2005-ongoing. Using Julia Kristeva’s theorisation of the maternal body’s relation to abjection, as well as its imperative to the remodelling of the relationship between the corporeal and the cultural, I explore how Josephy’s images explicitly engage with the Kristevan abject in order to disrupt cultural inscriptions of maternity and ‘motherhood’. I contend that Confinement situates Josephy’s experience of ‘becoming-mother’ against the dominant discourses of maternity and birth, and thereby uses the maternal subject as a means to interrogate broader issues of gender and identity.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie tesis ondersoek ek die radikale herberaming van die moederfiguur in Confinement (2005 tot op hede) – ‘n fotoreeks van die Kaapse kunstenaar Svea Josephy (geb. 1969). Julia Kristeva se teorieë oor die moederlike liggaam, en in besonder die moederliggaam se verhouding tot abjeksie, word aangewend om die verband tussen die liggaamlike en die kulturele te herbedink. Ek ondersoek hoe hierdie fotoreeks Kristeva se konsep van die abjekte benut, ten einde kulturele voorskriftelikheid oor moederskap en 'ma-wees' te ontwrig. Ek argumenteer dat Confinement Josephy se ondervinding van 'wordend-moederskap’ die dominante diskoerse van moederskap en geboorte uitdaag, en sodoende die moederlike subjek gebruik om breër aspekte rondom geslag en identiteit te bevraagteken.

Sendo assim, esta tese apresenta métodos para automaticamente identificar os diferentes níveis de gravidade do Edema Macular Diabético visando auxiliar o especialista no diagnóstico dessa patologia. Como resultado final, propõe-se automaticamente e rapidamente identificar, a partir da imagem, se o paciente possui o EMD leve, moderado ou grave. Utilizando imagens de fundo do olho de um banco de dados livremente disponível na internet (ou seja, o DIARETDB1), o método proposto para a identificação automática do EMD obteve uma precisão de 94,29%. Alguns métodos intermediários necessários para a solução desse problema foram propostos e os resultados publicados na literatura científica.

The Diabetic Macular Edema (DME) is the most common cause of vision damage in working-age people. Therefore, this thesis presents an approach to automatically identify the different levels of severity of diabetic macular edema aiming to assist the expert in the diagnosis of this pathology. As a final result, a methodology to automatically and quickly identify, from the eye fundus image, if a patient has the EMD mild, moderate or severe EMD is proposed. In a preliminary evaluation of our DME grading scheme using publicly available eye fundus images (i.e., DIARETDB1 image database), an accuracy of 94.29% was obtained. Some intermediate methods needed to solve this problem have been proposed and the results published in scientific literature.

Abstract:
Cette thèse propose de définir une génération d’artistes dont la spécificité consiste à collecter, associer et rediffuser des images existantes, sans en transformer le contenu iconique. Pour tenter de cerner les caractéristiques de cette pratique, des entretiens ont été menés avec des artistes français contemporains : Eric Baudelaire, Ludovic Burel, Hervé Coqueret, documentation céline duval, Pierre Leguillon, Mathieu Pernot, Régis Perray et Eric Watier. L’analyse des dispositifs plastiques qu’ils mettent en œuvre fait apparaître deux aspects susceptibles d’identifier la spécificité de leur travail : leur manière d’associer les images entre elles suscite de nouvelles interprétations entraînant leur relecture ; et leur pratique s’inscrit dans une phase transitoire entre l’ère de la reproductibilité technique des images et celle des technologies du numérique. A travers une recherche scientifique pluridisciplinaire, il sera donc question d’étudier leurs processus de création depuis le choix des images jusqu’à la diffusion de leurs projets (I), d’analyser la polysémie des images et les possibilités d’en relire les signes (II) et enfin de comprendre comment s’agence leur position artistique entre deux époques techniquement marquées concernant les images (III). Afin de les démarquer des autres générations réemployant des images, la thèse propose une nouvelle dénomination : les Relecteurs d’images
This thesis proposes to define a generation of artists who are collecting, associating and redistributing pictures without changing or transforming the iconic contents. In order to elaborate their characteristics, several french contemporary artists were interviewed: Eric Baudelaire, Ludovic Burel, Hervé Coqueret, documentation céline duval, Pierre Leguillon, Mathieu Pernot, Régis Perray and Eric Watier. The analysis of the devices implemented by the artists shows two aspects that could identify the specificity of their work: their way of associating the pictures with each other offers new possibilities of interpretation and leads to a second reading of the pictures; and their practice is taking place during the transition between the eras of image reproduction techniques and numerical techniques. Within the scope of a multi-field scientific research, it will be necessary to study the creation processes from the choice of the representation till the distribution of the projects (I), to analyse the polysemy of the images and the possibility of rereading their signs (II), and, finally, to understand how the artistic position is located between two, with respect to pictures, technically distinguished epoches (III).

Esta dissertação apresenta o método RAIA – Realidade Aumentada em Imagens Aéreas – que foi desenvolvido para inserir informações disponíveis sobre uma imagem aérea, com o objetivo de facilitar as atividades que envolvem a análise das imagens capturadas por meio de câmeras fixadas em aeronaves. Além disso, atualmente são comercializados produtos que oferecem a funcionalidade de complementar imagens aéreas com informações, porém existem poucos registros acadêmicos sobre este tipo de aplicação e não foram encontrados registros que detalhem metodologias que complementem com Realidade Aumentada imagens adquiridas de câmeras fixadas em aeronaves. Nas imagens processadas pelo método é empregado o conceito de Realidade Aumentada, pois é exibida uma junção de objetos virtuais, que representam informações sobre o local que está sendo capturado, e a própria imagem. Isto é feito por meio do cálculo do georreferenciamento da imagem, ou seja, são determinadas as coordenadas geográficas de cada pixel. O método foi avaliado com uma ferramenta protótipo em que foram executados testes, que foram subdivididos em três casos de estudo. Estes casos foram empregados para avaliar a precisão com que o método sobrepõe informações às imagens capturadas a distâncias próximas do solo, por satélite e em uma situação real de supervisão aérea. Os resultados da avaliação do método RAIA apontaram erro de posicionamento de informações de aproximadamente 5 metros para imagens capturadas com pouca inclinação em uma operação real de supervisão e aproximadamente 40 metros para imagens capturadas com inclinação superior a 40°.
This dissertation presents the method RAIA - Augmented Reality in Aerial Images - which was developed to insert available information on an aerial image. The goal is to facilitate the activities involving the analysis of the images captured by cameras fixed on aircraft. Also, there are currently selling products that offer the functionality to complement aerial images with information, although there are few academic records on this type of application and no records were found that detail methodologies that complement with Augmented Reality images acquired from cameras fixed on aircraft. In the images processed by the method is employed the concept of Augmented Reality, because it is displayed a junction of virtual objects, that represent information about the site being captured, and the image itself. This is done by calculating the image georeferencing, which means that the geographic coordinates are determined for each pixel. The method was evaluated in tests on a prototype tool. These tests were divided into three case studies that were used to measure the accuracy that the method overrides information for images captured at distances close to the ground, captured from satellite cameras and in a real aerial surveillance situation. The positioning error results presented by RAIA, in a real aerial surveillance situation, were about approximately 5 meters for images captured with little inclination. Images captured with inclination greater than 40° showed positioning errors of approximately 40 meters.

This dissertation presents an environmental education research, grounded in an understanding and critical perspective which seeks to contribute to the formation of subjects able to read and act in the world, positioning themselves critically towards the lived reality. This qualitative survey was conducted in concert with a teachers and community members environmental education formation process at the Brejo dos Olhos d Água community, in the caatinga region of Barra-BA. It is also a contextualized educational process, which considers the historicity of the subjects included in social contexts grounded in the popular education disseminated by Paulo Freire. Participatory methods were used to understand the environmental and social perception of the participating group, such as the biomap and rotating panel, deepening the study through photography using a method known as photo-elicitation. Following this stage, our research builds up the main issue of the dissertation, the analysis of the meanings attributed to the jaguar (Panthera onca) and puma (Puma concolor). The relationship between humans and jaguars is extremely conflicted due to the ecological role that this animal occupies: a top predator chain. Thus, there are conflicts of habitat, natural resource use and cattle predation. In order to fulfill our objective of to better understand the origin of so many negative feelings towards these animals, the participant group conducted field interviews with hunters and collected stories related to jaguars and pumas. At the end of this work we used the focus group technique to deepen some of the issues relevant to all research. We applied questionnaires at all stages of the research to obtain data on environmental and social perception and to evaluate the educational process. We adopted hermeneutics as a theoretical perspective to interpret subjective questions implicit to humans, and other relevant techniques within each of the issues addressed, such as the use of semiotics to interpret images. The resuIts evidenced the fact that living in the Caatinga, where livelihoods are directly related to the use of resources and where water is a limiting factor, makes the conflict even more emblematic and therefore this must be considered in any decision. We point out possible ways for continued and contextualized teachers formation processes; awareness of emerging forms of perceiving natural resources beyond the utilitarian; the demystification of fear through information and, if possible, contact with animals; joint planning and participatory use of the area may ensure the survival of both people ways of life and of the jaguar.
Esta dissertação apresenta uma pesquisa de educação ambiental, em sua perspectiva crítica e compreensiva, que busca contribuir na formação de sujeitos capazes de ler e atuar no mundo, se posicionando criticamente diante da realidade vivida. Esta pesquisa, qualitativa, foi concebida no âmbito de um processo de formação em educação ambiental de professoras/es e alguns membros da comunidade caatingueira de Brejo dos Olhos d Água, no município de Barra-BA. Trata-se, também, de uma educação contextualizada, que considera a historicidade dos sujeitos inseridos em contextos sociais embasada na educação popular difundida por Paulo Freire. Para conhecer a percepção socioambiental do grupo envolvido utilizamos métodos participativos como o biomapa e o painel rotativo, aprofundando o estudo através da fotografia, pelo método de foto-elicitação. A partir da compreensão sobre a percepção socioambiental do grupo, conduziu-se o trabalho para o principal objeto desta pesquisa, a análise dos sentidos atribuídos à onça-pintada (Panthera onca) e à onça-parda (Puma concolor). A relação entre seres humanos e as onças é extremamente conflituosa por causa do papel ecológico que este animal ocupa: o de predador de topo de cadeia. Isto reflete em conflitos por conta da predação às criações animais e no uso do espaço e dos recursos naturais, que são considerados escassos na caatinga. Para cumprir o objetivo de melhor compreender a origem de tantos sentimentos negativos em relação as onças, o grupo participante foi a campo fazer entrevistas com caçadores e recolher causos de onça. Utilizamos a técnica do grupo focal para aprofundar algumas das questões pertinentes que se evidenciaram no transcorrer da pesquisa. Em todas as etapas da pesquisa e curso aplicamos questionários, tanto para obtenção de dados sobre percepção socioambiental, como para avaliar o processo educativo. Adotamos como perspectiva teórica a hermenêutica, para interpretar questões subjetivas, implícitas ao ser humano, além de outras referências pertinentes dentro de cada uma das questões tratadas, como a semiótica para interpretação de imagens fotográficas. Observamos que os conflitos entre humanos e onças têm causas históricas e permeiam fortemente o imaginário coletivo através do medo transmitido ao longo de gerações, porém o contato com a onça pode desmistificar esse medo. Além disto, existem conflitos de interesse de uso de recursos naturais e do espaço que precisam de planejamento e investimento público para que se solucionem. Evidencia-se que o fato de se estar na caatinga, onde os modos de vida são diretamente relacionados ao uso direto de recursos e que a água é um fator limitante, torne o conflito ainda mais emblemático, o que precisa ser considerado em qualquer tomada de decisão. Apontamos como caminhos possíveis a formação continuada e contextualizada de professoras/es; a sensibilização para emergir outras formas de percepção dos recursos naturais para além da utilitarista; a desmistificação do medo com informações e, se possível, contato com a onça e um planejamento conjunto e participativo do uso de espaço garantindo os modos de vida da população e a sobrevivência das onças.

This exposition will be analyzed and discussed about my collection creations named “Perfect Plan” from 2008 to 2012. The article is divided into five chapters, talking from my personal background, .creative themes, creative media evolution, and finally explain the creative work concepts. There are two axes as the main expositions; one is description of creation main theme, and the other is instruction of creative media. Creative subject matter is mainly from my past experiences of life, “Aesthetic sensitivity, Perfect” of youth subculture, and “the Swan” of the Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) fairy tales was be shaped into an ideal and perfect symbol. So the “Perfect Plan” was developed through the creation attempts to reach some kind of imagined ideal state. Another axis talks mostly about creative media and describe the media evolution; the present age is a digital age, works also response present art form primarily by photography or image collage modus operandi. This article will be review and reflect my recent years works and propose this stage creation experience to correct scanned art direction in the future.

The main object of the study is to realize the geomorphologic system of the Nanhutashan area by terrain analysis . By interpretating the stereo image of the pair of aerial photos , study and describe the drainage texture, terrain relief, landform, vegetation cover, and geomorphologic process,and also comprehend geomorphologic context and classify the landform. Get more data and correct the result of aerial photo interpretation in the field investigation. In final, demonstrate the landform features and terrain elements by terrain mapping. In this research , the author classify the area into four main terrain unit. Also roughly identify five assemblages of rock type. In the most detailed scale, classify the sixteen terrain elements. Because the three main valleys occupy most of the area and the valley slope are relative straight in direction. According to the shape in profile, composition material, geomorphologic process, segment different unit of the slope profile is the basic way to recognize the different terrain elements. Because of the climate condition, the periglacial phenomena are obviously wide distribution in the area . The fluvial process and mass movement are not the main factors to carve the huge valleys but only modify the shape slightly compare with the dimension of the valleys. It suggest that the ancient glacial actions are the most important processes to shape the main lanform system.

The research is to discuss the meanings of photographs in film “Paris, Texas” using Ricoeur’s interpretation theory. The objective is to discover the process and results of multiple interpretations of “photographs in cinema”. The research questions in this study are as following: (1) How the meanings of the photographs are invoked in “Paris, Texas”? (2) What is the relationship of viewers who give the meanings? (3) What are the results of the interpreting process? This research must be a process of multiple interpretations due to the reappearance of photographs in cinema, ways of interpretation, transformation of time and space, and differences among interpreters. Therefore I discuss the meanings of photographs in cinema from three perspectives: the characters, the director, and the viewer of the cinema. In this study, I have discovered that the “temporality” of meanings of photographs in cinema is more obvious than other kind of photographs. The variables in the interpreting process, such as the multiple representations of text, the changing contexts of narrative, and the interaction of characters, make meanings become dynamic. It is in a constant state of “slip of meanings” which is embodied in the relations of meaning and individual, meaning and situation, and meaning and viewpoint.

I discover marketing activities by recent year, brand enterprises operate marketing concepts by photography or photography with words. Nevertheless, everyone’s perception must be different from photography aesthetics. Whether visual interpretation of photography aesthetics engage customers’ aesthetics perceptions, and then understand brand concept images, it is a motive for the thesis.So the main purposes of the research are: 1. To discuss how is the effect on visual interpret brand concept with perspective of photography aesthetics? 2. Because everyone’s aesthetic experience and aesthetic is different, photography professionals and ordinary people interpret brand concept whether acceptance are the same? 3. To discuss difference between visual interpret brand concept with perspective of photography aesthetics and words interpret brand concept. In this thesis, I adopted qualitative research in semi-structural, focus group interviews with interviewers. Example of Timberland, I created two interviews to analyze interviewers’ communications.I found 3 photography professionals and 3 photography ordinary people in first interview, and required them to snap three photos by themselves, and we’ll choose 3 photos. I found 5 Timberland customers and let them look LET’S GET LOST words interpretation in official website.Then I will show first interviewers’ photos to them, and we’ll choose 1 photos. After analyzing communications, I concluded some points below: 1. There is a certain effect on vision interpret brand concept with perspective of photography aesthetics. 2. Photography professionals who have photographic knowledges, non-photographic knowledges or weak photographic knowledges of photography ordinary people are different perspectives from acceptance. 3. There is a different effect between visual interpret brand concept with perspective of photography aesthetics and words interpret brand concept.

David Lynch (1946- ), best known as an American film director, has been involved in various visual art domains during his career. The exhibition “David Lynch: The Factory Photographs” held in The Photographers’ Gallery in early 2014, showed the black and white photographs taken by Lynch in disused industrial areas in Central Europe, the UK and the USA from 1980 to 2000. The “industrial motif” has become a repeated theme in Lynch’s work; in the factory photographs, the recurrent upward angle in framing, and the unsettling dark ambiance, both evoke Lynchian uncanny and mysterious scenarios. The artist’s special emphasis on abstract aesthetics of mechanical structures, as well as the mood and texture in the industrial wastelands, open up the series to diverse interpretations. My first chapter begins with the general analysis of the catalogue The Factory Photographs, indicating the motifs of Lynch’s images. By reviewing the history of industrial landscape photography, and comparing Lynch’s images with the relevant works of other photographers, we see the difference in terms of technology, style and intention. The derelict factories, as a symbol of industrial ruin or wasteland, remain beautiful in Lynch’s eye, through which we discover his unique view and aesthetic attitude towards the decaying industrial architecture. In the second chapter, I discuss Lynch’s industrial-related drawings and paintings by comparing them with the machine aesthetics and avant-garde art trends between the first and second world wars. There also exist the traces of avant-garde photography, especially the New Vision, in Lynch’s factory photographs. Lynch treats drawing and photography as distinct media, as the tension and sublimity of industry are underlined in the photographs. The third chapter mainly focuses on the comparison between the “factory” in Lynch’s film and photography. With Eraserhead, we find the similar industrial atmosphere or composition in both moving pictures and still images, but it assumes distinct meaning and narrative possibility. In Inland Empire, the “factory” can be regarded as the metaphor of urban space, which plays a complex and bizarre role in the real life and image world. The dilapidated factory spaces captured by Lynch’s camera, express darkness and optimism, thrill and beauty in the same series; with the characteristics of photography, according to the diverse contexts, we may find a variety of interpretations

It is well known that learners do not perform well in physical science. The purpose of this study was to investigate how learners interpret the role of photographs and other illustrative devices in physical science and whether learners are able to identify physical science concepts that they think are embedded in the photographs found in grade 12 physical science textbooks. The study focused on photographs found in physical science textbooks as it is clear that photographs are explicitly used in physical science textbooks as pedagogical resources. It is of great significance for learners to also understand the physical science concepts embedded in photographs.
