Danneman, Lundkvist Manne. "Neoformalistisk analys av Sin City." Thesis, Örebro University, Department of Humanities, 2007. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:oru:diva-1556.
Full textSyftet med min analys är att se via en neoformalistisk stilanalys vilka grepp som filmen Sin City har hämtat från film noir. Jag ser även via intertextuella kopplingar vad Sin City har hämtat från serietidningen som filmen baseras på. Fokus i analysen ligger dock på fyra grepp som jag anser är de mest klassiska film noirgreppen; Ljussättning, Femme fatale, en mörk värld och protagonisten. Jag kommer bl.a. fram till att Sin Citys använder sig av klassiska film noirstilgrepp men drar dem till det extrema, kanske för att passa in på den serievärld som filmen är länkad till. Filmen använder sig även flitigt av hypermarkerade objekt för att leda in åskådaren på mer estetiska tankebanor.

Full textEmbora adaptações caracterizem uma série de mudanças durante o processo de tradução de uma mídia para outra, várias delas podem ser consideradas como escolhas formais. Ao analisar filme de 2005 Sin City, de Robert Rodriguez, adaptado da graphic novel homônima de Frank Miller publicada no início dos anos noventa, comparo as duas obras e considero aspectos formais que distinguem uma produção artística da outra enredo, roteiro, visual, enquadramento e som para melhor compreender as escolhas. Foram utilizados os conceitos de intermidialidade e adaptação de Madalena Punzi (2007), Ilmeda Welehan (1999) e Adalberto Müller (2013). Os estudos de Brian McFarlane (1996) auxiliaram, ainda, na escolha dos procedimentos metodológicos adotados para a análise. A comparação entre as duas versões é feita, então, sem se restringir a uma tentativa de mapear as possíveis (in)fidelidades durante o processo de transposição. Em vez disso, busco identificar as formas com que as narrativas se relacionam, bem como a função desempenhada na produção de sentido para o espectador e como as especificidades de cada meio cinema e quadrinhos determinam o resultado final.

Full textMaster of Architecture
Sex trafficking is a form of modern slavery. This inhumane industry is exacerbated in cities as more people move into the urban environment. In the same cities people live, work, and socialize, victims of commercial sex trafficking live in the shadows, work in obscure environments, and isolate themselves from others. Many sexually exploited victims receive limited care to recover from their physical, mental, and emotional wounds. Unfortunately, they are often grouped together with other displaced groups. This thesis calls out a specific group in need of healing, female survivors of sex trafficking, and considers a specific place where she can restore her sense of home, workplace, and community. The female survivor is given the name Jane Doe, and her unique narrative drives the types of spaces she needs to feel safe, loved, and cared for. The design proposal is sited in Bayview, an industrial urban neighborhood in southeastern San Francisco. The neighborhood at large is first reimagined to set a foundation for welcoming Jane Doe. Then, the proposed building integrates three types of spaces: a community housing, a drop-in center, and retail spaces with workshops. It is nestled amongst warehouses, houses, and other local shops. This thesis ultimately expresses the possibility architecture has in doing more than providing an inhabitable space. The architecture for Jane Doe is a sanctuary that plays a definitive role in healing her body, heart, and mind, as her sense of belonging is restored.

Full textEste artículo analiza las fiestas a la Inmaculada que se celebraron en Lima en 1656 a partir de la relación festiva escrita por Diego de León Pinelo Gutiérrez. Este texto criollo reinterpreta en clave barroca la devoción inmaculista de la ciudad de Los Reyes. A través de él se estudian los prolongados festejos que contaron con la participación de las instituciones y corporaciones de poder más representativas de la ciudad y movilizaron considerables recursos y personas. Así, esta relación se concibe como una exaltación política y religiosa de la ciudad de Lima, propia del género festivo y de la literatura corográfica, que se conecta también con el naciente discurso criollo.

Full textMore than half of the world's population now lives in cities. This proportion is 77.5% in France. The high density of the urban population causes several environmental problems such as noise, urban heat waves, chemical pollution or magnetic pollution. In a city, the inhabitants could get all the information by the computer infrastructures and the information sharing between the citizens themselves. If one of the objectives of smart cities is to improve the management of resources - such as water and electricity - another is to be able to control day by day what is happening in the city in terms of climate and pollution by collecting local information and mapping it in the public portal of cartography. Although the link between civic services, the interactions between people and government institutions is very important, the concerned information, usually represented by graphics or maps, is not easy to for all people to understand and to interpret. Thus the objective of this thesis is to propose solutions to improve the representation of urban phenomena with their geographical context and at different levels of detail so that it becomes easy to understand for the general public.In order to facilitate the perception of a phenomenon map, we propose a representation at different levels of detail, from the most general to the most detailed and to adapt the graphic density to the level of detail (preparatory optimization in the database) and to the current visualization scale (dynamic and interactive optimization with the user); a various choices of the cartographic space, for example a phenomenon may be represented on the set of buildings or streets, or on any structure of geometry chosen by the user; simple and adaptive symbols to the phenomenon; and an automatic identification of particular zones: with extreme values, exceeding the threshold of dangerousness or with a large dispersion, this allows the user to quickly locate areas of interest throughout the visualization. We also proposed to add the concept of observer and adapt the visualization according to the position of the observer in order to reduce the superposition between the 3D presentations of different levels of height of a phenomenon, when it varies according to of the altitude (and that these data are available)

Full textThe present investigation seeks to set the guidelines for the correct design of a Community Center that contributes to supply the infrastructure deficit of a sector of the district of San Juan de Lurigancho. It has started from the social problems of the area and the investigation of the typology to introduce specific functions according to the requirements of the population of the area. Likewise, reference projects, both national and foreign, help to shape the proposal. The chosen terrain and its surroundings are defined and analyzed, the type and quantity of the user, the frequency of use and the radius of action of the project, all taking special consideration in the integral design of the project with their city. Hence, emphasis is placed on the integration of exterior and interior spaces so that, public space, the environment and the pedestrian guide the formal and spatial approach of the proposal.

Full textBackground: Scientific articles has shown that patients that have had a stroke during their hospitalization receive lesser degree of care, than patients that has been admitted with a stroke. Literature has shown we need more knowledge how to improve stroke care to get a secure, knowledge based and effective stroke care in hospitals. Aim: The study aims to identify the events that have been critical in the management of hospitalized patients who suffer a stroke. Method: CIT has been used as a data collection method to bring in information, it has been used in the airforce and more recently has been used more widely in national healthcare. Qualitative contents analysis, according to Burnard (1996), gives basis for analyzing the material. The analysis was based on 10 interviews with nurses who have experience of patients diagnosed with stroke during hospitalization. Interviews were conducted at 5 (five) different departments within the Sahlgrenska Hospital in spring 2016. Result: Critical events occur in connection with care in all parts of the care of in-hospital patients who suffer a stroke. Overall categories: unexpected event, the safety of patients affected by department resources and the backside of specialist care. The categories identified in the micro, meso and macro systems are interacting between the different systems. Conclusion: Access to current measurements is important to get an overview of the current state of in-hospital stroke patients in the form of numbers and where they occur. The study shows that there is a great need for a well-functioning stroke chain for in-hospital stroke patients and that there are implemented projects in the US that could be helpful for future improvements in stroke care. It is also important to focus on communication and information to relatives.

Full textThe intent of this research is to reveal and understand the symbolic meanings of cultural and ethnic identity that cultural creators and receivers perceive through their involvement in mariachi. This study’s shows the way those involved in mariachi perceive their cultural and ethnic identity while living in a city that infuses Mexican and Texan cultural sensibilities. A mixed-method approach was taken between in-depth qualitative interviews and participant observation. Participant observation was utilized as a means to build a stratified snowball sample of the various cultural producers and receivers of mariachi. The cultivation of this sample was guided by Griswold’s cultural diamond framework. Reliance on semi-structured in-depth interviews as the primary research method of inquiry illuminated the various horizons of meaning that mariachi performers, instructors, gatekeepers, and aficionados held in regards to their efforts to preserve a long standing cultural musical art form in San Antonio, Texas. Some findings include various stories and perspectives on cultural and ethnic identity in mariachi, varying strategies undertaken to preserve mariachi music in the twenty-first century through technology, its institutionalization into a public-education setting, the varying gender dynamics among mariachi performers, the question of authenticity and hybridization in mariachi music, and cultural politics in the mariachi music scene.

Full textThis thesis attempts to grasp the creation of an image of a city, taking the case of
waterfront cities where the presence of water becomes a sense of place. A phenomenological
method was employed for investigating actual waterfront cities: Boston, Chicago, and
San Francisco. Although a single method has yet to be established for studying a sense of
place, phenomenology was adopted because it deals with the relationship between an
environment and the experience of that environment. This thesis found some common
qualities between these cities in their fonns. These qualities seem to have a certain
relationship to the creation of the images of these waterfront cities. This study also brought
up the question of how to evaluate personal experiences phenomenologically. They are
related to the basis of this thesis. This shows us the difficulty of practicing the
phenomenology and the profundity of studying an image of a city. At the same time, it is a
step for further study.
