Hanzalik, Kathryn A. "Subversive Art and Institutional Vulnerability." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2013. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/honors_theses/64.
Full textAbstract:
George Dickie’s Institutional Theory of Art satisfies necessary and sufficient conditions for definition, but by leaving evaluation open cannot address artistic capacities to outstrip the usefulness of the theory for appreciating the concept of art comprehensively or meaningfully. Artworks that are known to members of the central and peripheral artworld seep into the general purview of the population at large as known “great works” of art. Upon examination of works that garner significant cultural influence, works broadly appreciated as great works, we find that their resistance to Dickie’s concept of “the artworld” and its associated behaviors is that which makes them conspicuously significant.

In this paper, I argue that the performance artist Orlan uses feminist tactics of subversion in her presentation of the body as art. I enter the feminist debate over Orlan's work to indicate that the critics who consider the history of performance art produce more fecund discourse. At the same time, I encourage more discussion over the racial dimensions of Orlan's art, which I describe as de-colonizing her body's representation.Master of Arts

Full textAbstract:
The thesis explores the relationships between knowledge and knowing in contemporary 21st century information society, using the foundation of the Faculty of Media Design & New Media Art at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti in Milano as a research apparatus. This Faculty was established between 2003 and 2012, in Milano, Italy. The starting point of the research was established in the hypothesis that technics have tertiarised memory (Stiegler B., 1994), that knowledge is always founded on an ontological pessimism (Queneau R., 1933, Lyotard F., 1979) and on a perpetual process of the generation of meaning (Gadda C., 1923-29, Foucault M., 1966). Knowledge is always and inevitably linked to the technics with which it is passed on. Pedagogy becomes a questioning of the object of knowledge, which transmutes into a definition of the ways it can be visualised. This research then, setting out from a pessimistic position in relation to knowledge and truth, amplifies them to infinite possible forms and therefore causes a dual shift of philosophy towards art and of pedagogy towards hermeneutics. The methodology consisted of a textual and visual description of a territory in a cartography of meaning, seen as the relation between intuition and the way in which practices as knowledges, arts, form remnants.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis constitutes the first comparative study of the phenomenon of alternative art galleries functioning during the 1970s in two neighbouring state socialist regimes, namely, the German Democratic Republic and the People's Republic of Poland. Firmly contextualised in the cultural-political climate of Honecker's and Gierek's quasi-liberalisation, it examines the socio-cultural function of non-conformist exhibition spaces and focuses, specifically, on two case studies: Galerie Arkade in East Berlin and Galeria/Repassage in Warsaw. By looking at a wide variety of practices produced in those spaces, this thesis investigates the commonalities and differences in how the galleries operated and how they related to the divergent post-Stalinist conditions. For instance, due to more repressive cultural-politics in the GDR, it proved more difficult to accommodate experimental practices in Arkade, since even exhibiting abstract art was problematic for the East German officials. Conversely, in Poland Gierek's liberalisation resulted in the state's limited acceptance of radical artistic practices such as performance and conceptual art but only in the marginal spaces of artist-run galleries. Despite their alternative status, the galleries were, to a certain degree, dependent administratively and financially on these socialist institutions and were at the same time exposed to surveillance by the state security services. These aspects of galleries' activities are often neglected and so to remedy this lack this thesis offers new perspectives on and insights into various aspects of the functioning of alternative culture in this region. The originality of this research lies also in its references to new archival material which has not been published, nor interpreted before. The interpretation of these rich primary sources makes use of a new theoretical framework that combines Michel Foucault's theory of heterotopia in a macro-level analysis and Henri Lefebvre's ideas on the social production of space in a micro-level analysis. In particular, the galleries' histories are seen in this thesis as intertwined with the advancing process of disintegration of state socialism in the Eastern Bloc as this was perceptible to varying degree in different socialist states. Accordingly, it argues that the galleries were symptomatic of and, simultaneously, contributed through various practices to the 'post-socialist condition'.

Macias-Gutierrez, Elizabeth. "Traumagical realism and the re-creation process : subversive commun(e)ication of the traumatic in theatre and performance." Thesis, Brunel University, 2014. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/9974.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis approaches 'trauma' in theatre and performance from the perspective of communication studies. Since 'trauma' is an unspeakable and unrepresentable inner state, I thus conceptualize the term 'the traumatic/spectrum' to refer to layers of reality, meaning and experience that can be expressed, represented and/or spoken about in relation to a traumatizing encounter. Through practice-led research, I propose a multi-sensorial devising tool for theatre & performance makers primarily, and artists of all disciplines, to facilitate a performance process for individuals who have walked through a traumatic or post-traumatic journey ('journeyers'), and have a desire, need or purpose to communicate to an audience. Based on a syncretism in journalism, ethnography, psychology, and art therapy techniques, this methodology draws out the form and the content through which individuals desire to communicate about their experiences. Conceptualized here as the re-creation process, this methodology tackles different types of communication predicaments or 'distance' between audiences and 'journeyers' when addressing the traumatic, including: disbelief, voyeurism or sensationalism, and the tendency to habituate, fatigue, de-sensitize, avoid, avert and/or alienate from the traumatic and those who journey with this reality. In response, I endorse the interrelation of two aesthetic manifestations that can 'bridge' different types of psychological, emotional, sociocultural and physical 'distance': one is a realm of theatre & performance which renders semantic and somatic forms of expression indivisible, and the other is Magical Realism. These aesthetics are applied as channels and strategies to engage participants in a meaningful, empowering, and pleasurable 'shared' experience beyond the therapeutic. Finally, I propose the term traumagical realism to further identify and explore the parallels between Magical Realism and the traumatic. Traumagical Realism is a liminal territory that can offer a deeper understanding of the traumatic, and catalyze a social, aesthetic and affective force of engagement or 'commun(e)ication' between 'journeyers' and all participants involved in the devising process and culmination of a performance.

Full textAbstract:
Within curatorial practice, graffiti has come to little attention. On the occasion of the street art hype during the 2000s, graffiti appeared only as a minor component. Considering, that graffiti remains an undefined and mostly illegal and uninstitutionalized practice, the fact that it is not a common exhibition topic seems self-evident. However, graffiti is a globally and publicly present form of visual output and communication which upon closer look reveals conceptual depth and complexity. Therefore, this thesis investigates illegal graffiti in urban space and the possibility of curatorial approaches. Using the theoretical framework of Henri Lefebvre’s writings on the city, graffiti in urban space is conceptualized and analyzed. Possible readings and understandings of graffiti are highlighted. On the basis of such, past curatorial practices with and research on graffiti are outlined and discussed. Finally, the thesis aims to establish an understanding of graffiti as an institution of its own. For a productive curatorial approach to graffiti, an awareness of that division is considered crucial.

Full textAbstract:
La recherche porte sur les relations entre les acteurs politiques et l’art subversif et leur positionnement face à des thèmes récurrents tels l’antisémitisme, l’oubli du passé, la condition de la femme, l’écologie. Partant des théories existantes sur les rapports entre l’art engagé et le politique, il s’agit d’étudier les œuvres de quatre artistes représentatifs à la fois de l’évolution des positions politiques et des techniques nouvelles à travers l’histoire de 1945 à nos jours, dans la IIe République d’Autriche : le sculpteur Alfred Hrdlicka, le peintre et architecte Friedensreich Hundertwasser, l’actionniste viennois Günter Brus, la féministe Valie Export. Ces artistes bousculent l’ordre établi à travers leur art agressif et leurs écrits. Le but est de définir la nature et le degré de leur protestation et de déterminer dans quelle mesure ils ont participé au débat démocratique et à la modernisation de la société autrichienne ainsi qu’à la construction identitaire de l’Autriche après 1945The research relates to the relation between the political actors and subversive art and their respective position on dominant themes such as anti-Semitism, the denial of the Nazi past, the status of women, ecology. From existing theories on relations between engaged art and politics, it is a question of studying the works of art of four artists representative on both policy statements and newer technologies through history from 1945 up to now, in the Second Republic of Austria : the sculptor Alfred Hrdlicka, the painter and architect Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the Viennese actionist Günter Brus, the feminist Valie Export. Each one, in his own way, shakes up the established order through his aggressive art and writings. The aim is to specify the type and level of protest of these artists and to assess to what extent they have participated in the democratic debate and modernisation within Austrian society as well as in the identity building of Austria after 1945

Lietuvos teatre įsivyravęs hegemoninis heteroseksualus vyriškumas dominuoja didžiojoje dalyje Lietuvos spektaklių. Tuo tarpu homoseksualūs vyrai reprezentuojami sporadiškai, dažnai jiems suteikiamos neigiamos konotacijos, jie tampa parodijiniais spektaklio elementais. Tačiau jau galima prabilti ir apie kitoniškus gėjų vaizdinius Lietuvos teatre, kadangi homoseksualaus vyriškumo tematiką vis aktyviau plėtoja režisierius Gintaras Varnas. Nepaisant ryškėjančio dėmesio netradiciniam vyriškumui Lietuvos scenoje, moksliniame teatrologiniame diskurse ši tema nėra aktyviai analizuojama. Taigi šiame darbe siekiama ne tik atkreipti dėmesį į gėjų reprezentaciją Lietuvos scenoje, bet homoseksualaus vyriškumo vaizdinius ir problematiką išanalizuoti pasitelkiant reikšmingą, XX a. JAV suklestėjusią queer teoriją. Darbe pristatomos queer teorijos susiformavimo aplinkybės ir įtakos, išryškinamos svarbiausios queer teorijos tezės. Tačiau svarbiausias dėmesys skiriamas subversyviam queer teorijos žvilgsniui, kuris įveiksmina heteronormatyvumo dekonstrukciją per šeimos, santuokos institucijų transformacijas heteronormatyvumo sistemoje.

[toliau žr. visą tekstą]A hegemonic heterosexual manhood is dominant in most of the Lithuanian theatre plays. Meanwhile, the homosexual relationships between men are represented in a sporadic manner and often get negative connotation, as well as, become an element of parody. However, today it is possible to start analysing different images of gays since the theme of homosexual males is being developed intensively by a director Gintaras Varnas. Despite the increasing attention towards the untraditional manhood in the Lithuanian theatre, this subject is not actively analysed in a scientific theatrological discourse. Therefore, this research tries to emphasize the representation of gays in the Lithuanian plays and in order to analyse the homosexual male images and problems it is useful to use the queer theory, which bloomed in the 20th century in the USA. The factors of the development and the origin of the queer theory and the most important theses are presented in this research. Nevertheless, the focus is placed to the subversive aspect of the queer theory, which enables the deconstruction of heteronormativity through the transformations of family and marriage in the system of heteronormativity. The research shows destabilizing and assimilative power, which forms the mimicry of the heterosexual symbols. The queer theory questions the conventionality of heteronormativity and reveals, which stereotypical power is applied in the gay communities.

Full textAbstract:
L’architecture change parce que le monde change. L’impact des enjeux environnementaux sur la pensée de l’architecture, sur les idées et sur les formes architecturales est le sujet de cette recherche. Le secteur du bâtiment est aujourd’hui considéré comme un levier important pour résoudre la crise environnementale. Cependant, des décalages s’affirment entre des impératifs urgents et règlementaires d’atteindre des objectifs quantitatifs précis, et la nécessité pour l’architecture d’être pensée en lien avec une nouvelle culture environnementale. Transition énergétique. Transition environnementale. Transition architecturale ? Dans quel processus de néomorphisation sommes-nous ? Ce travail de recherche concerne la période de transition engagée à la fin des années 1990 et dont les scénarios se construisent à horizon 2050. L’objectif est de définir des concepts et des outils, pour caractériser de façon ouverte et pluridisciplinaire la transition architecturale vers une architecture environnementale et fournir matière à penser. Les concepts de néomorphisme architectural et de Potentiel Néomorphique (PN) sont créés, pour répondre au contexte d’une transition en cours. Par analogie avec le néologisme désignant un mot nouveau qui renouvelle et enrichit le langage, le néomorphisme architectural désigne une forme nouvelle. Il est de la même façon issu d’un processus morphologique créatif, expérimental, riche et complexe, propre aux périodes de transition. Les Potentiels Néomorphiques de l’architecture environnementale qui en découlent, désignent les nouvelles idées à l’origine des nouvelles formes architecturales. La spécificité de ce travail de recherche repose sur une approche originale de la pensée de l’architecture, des idées aux formes et des formes aux idées, et sur la création d’espaces analogiques. Les espaces analogiques sont constitués à partir de la confrontation de trois corpus : un corpus d’idées (les PN), un corpus de formes architecturales manifestes et un corpus de formes artistiques subversives. Ils sont conçus pour nourrir le débat, questionner la notion de justesse et pour stimuler la pensée de l’architecture, la soustraire au prêt-à-penser et permettre l’impensé. Ces éléments théoriques sont réinvestis dans la réalisation de la maquette d’un thésaurus. Le « Thésaurus de l’architecture environnementale, des idées aux formes et des formes aux idées » est un outil de veille et de connaissance. Il permet de découvrir, s’approprier et penser l’architecture environnementale à travers un nouveau cadre descriptif et des espaces analogiques. Proposé sur le principe d’un outil collaboratif en ligne, il invite à une approche pluriculturelle de l’architecture et permet le partage d’un savoir vivant et réactif. La maquette du Thésaurus de l’architecture environnementale ouvre la voie à des prolongements pédagogiques orientés sur l’identification de nouvelles références. Son ambition est de contribuer à la construction d’une histoire contemporaine des idées et des formes de l’architecture environnementaleArchitecture is changing because the world is changing.The impact of environmental issues on the way of thinking architecture, and also on architectural ideas and architectural forms, is the subject of this research.The building sector is now considered as an important tool in order to solve the environmental crisis. However, discrepancies are increasing between, on the one hand, urgent and regulatory requirements to achieve specific quantitative targets and, on the other, the need for architecture to be thought of in connection with a new environmental culture.Energy transition. Environmental transition. Architectural transition?How to define this neomorphisation process.This research concerns the transition period that started in the late 1990s and where the scenarios are projected up to the 2050s. The objective is to define concepts and tools, to characterize the architectural transition towards an environmental architecture, in an open and multidisciplinary manner, and to provide food for thought.The concepts of “architectural neomorphism” and “Neomorphic Potential” (PN) are created, in response to the context of a transition in progress. By analogy with the neologism which designates a new word that renews and enriches language, architectural neomorphism indicates a new form. In the same way, it results from a morphological process, creative, experimental, rich and complex, specific to transition periods. The resulting “Neomorphic Potentials” of environmental architecture describe the ideas which are behind the new architectural forms.The specific quality of this research work is based on an original approach to architectural thought, from ideas to forms and from forms to ideas, and on the creation of “analogical spaces”. They are composed as a result of the confrontation of three corpora : a corpus of ideas (PN), a corpus of manifest architectural forms and a corpus of subversive artistic forms. They are designed to active debate, to question the concept of accuracy and to stimulate our thinking about architecture, to escape standard ways of thinking and to promote outside-the-box thinking.These theoretical elements are reinvested in making a model of a thesaurus.The "Thesaurus of environmental architecture, from ideas to forms and from forms to ideas" is both a monitoring tool and a resource centre. It gives the opportunity to discover, to take on board and to think environmental architecture through a new descriptive framework using analogical spaces. Offered on the principle of an online collaborative tool, it calls for a multicultural approach to architecture so that knowledge can be shared in a lively, interactive way.The model of the Thesaurus of environmental architecture opens up the way for new teaching methods directed towards the identification of new references. Its ambition is to contribute to a contemporary history of ideas and forms of environmental architecture

Nas duas últimas décadas, o graffiti se impôs como um elemento visual das metrópoles brasileiras. Passou a povoar a rotina urbana e, num embate por espaços, vem disputando a visibilidade pública com as cores dos edifícios, as placas de sinalização e outros elementos da comunicabilidade urbana. E o faz mudando a sua proposta e original essência. Este trabalho procura documentar a trajetória do graffitti de meados da década de 1960 até às vésperas da conclusão da pesquisa, em 2011, acompanhando a sua transformação \"do subversivo ao consagrado\". Através da narrativa visual pontuada por uma seleção de 400 fotografias de autoria do pesquisador, destaca-se, em especial, a cidade de São Paulo, onde o trabalho dos grafiteiros vem despertando interesse mundial e não apenas entre adeptos, simpatizantes e editoras especializadas. O graffiti tem sido um interessante campo de estudo para críticos de arte, antropólogos, semiólogos, etc., porém, é na visualidade urbana que tem o maior impacto.In the last two decades, graffiti has established itself as a visual element of the metropolis in Brazil. It became part of the urban routine, and in a dispute for space has been struggling for public visibility with building colors, traffic signs and other elements of urban communicability. And it does so by changing its intent and original essence. This paper seeks to document the trajectory of graffiti from the mid 1960s to the conclusion of the research, in 2011, following its transformation \"from subversive to acclaimed\". By means of a visual narrative marked by a selection of 400 photographs taken by the researcher, the city of São Paulo is emphasized, where graffiti is attracting worldwide attention and not only among supporters, sympathizers and specialized publishers. Graffiti has been an interesting field of study for art critics, anthropologists, semiologists, and scholars in general, but the greatest impact of this street art is on the urban scene.

Spettel, Elisabeth. "Double jeu de la subversion : entre dadaïsme, surréalisme et art contemporain." Thesis, Bordeaux 3, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015BOR30042.
Full textAbstract:
« Que nul n’entre ici s’il n’est subversif » ! Cette sentence pourrait orner le frontispice du Cabaret Voltaire, célèbre lieu qui a vu naître le dadaïsme en 1916. Les spectacles Dada subvertissaient les conventions esthétiques, remettant en question le statut de l’oeuvre d’art et mêlaient les médiums et les styles jusqu’à incorporer des objets, photomontages, masques, marionnettes… dans la sphère artistique. Ce caractère interdisciplinaire et transgressif réapparaît chez les surréalistes connus pour leurs scandales, leurs manifestes, leurs inventions littéraires et plastiques mais aussi leur engagement politique. Ces deux avant-gardes marquent une rupture dans l’histoire de l’art. Leur caractère subversif influence encore aujourd’hui de nombreux artistes contemporains occidentaux sur le plan des formes, des sujets abordés ou des processus de création. Néanmoins, le changement de contexte amène à redéfinir la subversion qui se transforme parfois en provocation chez les artistes actuels, encourant le risque de devenir une nouvelle norme et d'être récupérée par le marché de l'art. Ce sont ces différences entre subversion et provocation que cette thèse se propose d’étudier en confrontant deux contextes : celui des avant-gardes historiques et le contexte contemporain avec la fin des « grands récits »« Do not enter if you are not subversive ». This sentence could decorate the frontispiece of Cabaret Voltaire, the famous place where Dadaism was born in 1916. Dada 's shows subverted aesthetic conventions, questioned the status of the work of art and mixed styles and mediums even integrating objects, photomontages, masks, marionettes in artistic area. This interdisciplinary and transgressive characteristic reappears with Surrealists, well-known for their scandals, manifestoes, literary and artistic inventions but also for their political involvement. These both avant-gardes broke with academic history of art. Their subversive characteristic is still influencing nowadays a lot of occidental contemporary artists on a formal, thematic or creative way. Nevertheless, the change of context leads to redefine the subversion which sometimes turns into provocation in contemporary artists' practices, taking the risk of changing into a new norm and being taken over by the art market. This thesis intends to study these differences between subversion and provocation comparing two contexts : the context of the historical avant-gardes' and the contemporary one with the end of the grand narratives

Harzman, Joshua Carlisle. "Urban Scrawl: Satire as Subversion in Banksy's Graphic Discourse." Scholarly Commons, 2018. https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/uop_etds/3122.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis analyzes the ways in which Banksy’s street art installations are used to critique sociopolitical injustices. The street has long existed as a platform for social and political movements. In particular, street art offers unique opportunities for voicing criticisms in pioneering ways that have been proven successful in upsetting normative power structures. Anne Theresa Demo’s analysis on the Guerilla Girls’ comic politics of subversion offers an appropriate conceptual lens to analyze Banksy’s employment of perspectives by incongruity as strategies for subversion. Therefore, this thesis analyzes how Banksy’s subversive satire is rhetorical by examining three techniques that have successfully exposed hegemonic institutions: mimicry, revision, and juxtaposition. Further, I argue that Banksy’s street art gallery, Better Out Than In, utilized these techniques in a global, revolutionary manner to bolster access and widen audience participation. Banksy’s street art both spotlights contemporary injustices and provides a frame to interpret the artist’s critical perspectives. By analyzing the ways in which Banksy uses satire as subversion, this thesis illustrates how visual rhetoric can offer liberation for victims of sociopolitical injustice.

Full textAbstract:
En 1848, les peintres anglais Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882), William Holman Hunt (1827-1910) et John Everett Millais (1829-1896) fondèrent à Londres la Confrérie Préraphaélite, une école artistique qui cessa d'exister en 1860. Tentant d'éluder la légende romanesque inspirée par les biographies des artistes, nous proposons une approche scientifique du Préraphaélisme, basée sur l'étude de documents autographes et l'observation des œuvres, ce qui permet de soulever, ou de réétudier, certaines questions touchant notamment aux traditions dans lesquelles s'inscrivit le mouvement. Parvenue à la conclusion que les Préraphaélites admiraient surtout les maîtres de l'art chrétien de la Renaissance, et cela pour des raisons théologiques et philosophiques autant qu'artistiques, nous avons souhaité identifier les emprunts. Ceux-ci se rapportent à l'aspect technique de l'art - formats, supports, préférences chromatiques - mais également à la structure narrative de la scène peinte et à la configuration " en feuilleté " des différents sens de l'œuvre. Nous suggérons ici que les œuvres préraphaélites aux signifiés multiples répondent à un schéma religieux de lecture. En appliquant aux œuvres une grille de lecture analogue à celle que certains théologiens de l'époque, en héritiers de la scolastique patristique, recommandaient pour la lecture de la Bible - à savoir la " doctrine des quatre sens " -, nous proposons un système logique et permanent d'organisation du message peint dans l'œuvre préraphaélite. Toutefois, influencés par les grands débats théologiques de la première partie du règne de Victoria les Préraphaélites ne purent rester longtemps fidèles aux canons de l'art. Ils s'en détournèrent peu à peu pour mettre en question les sources religieuses et l'interprétation qui en était donnée. Rejoignant le contre-courant artistique européen, dès les années 1850, leur art procéda simultanément à la démystification du religieux et à la sacralisation du profane

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the art of Olga Costa and María Izquierdo. The history of the Mexican revolution is outlined and then presented again with a focus on women’s issues and involvement. Next is a discussion of national identity construction after the revolution, with attention paid to the role of the “Big Three,” muralists Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and David Siqueiros. While scholars often credit male artists for their involvement in this process, the contributions of female artists tend to be overlooked. Although the work of female artists is often portrayed as limited to their personal experiences, this thesis argues that women’s work subverted hegemonic narratives and images that homogenized Mexican national identity building, and thus reveal valuable perspectives on post-revolutionary Mexican society. Specific topics explored include subversions of representations of female beauty, challenging of the role of women in Mexican society and patriarchies in general, and the creative use of symbols in order to avoid objectifying women while representing themes pertaining to Mexico. This thesis engages with scholarly works that perpetuate traditional readings of Costa and Izquierdo’s work as primarily autobiographical and limited in scope as well as more progressive critiques that recognize the social significance of these artists. A variety of paintings are analyzed in detail, including Costa and Izquierdo’s portraits of nude and clothed women, Izquierdo’s series of allegorical pieces and still lifes, and Costa’s masterpiece “La Vendedora.” This thesis is written in Spanish.

O presente trabalho abre-se para um debate que coloca em evidência os desdobramentos da interação entre a pixação e o campo da arte. A pesquisa procura compreender como a pixação – ao usufruir da estrutura deste campo – pode levar à reflexões sobre as práticas artísticas que ocorrem a partir de uma perspectiva variável, talvez momentânea, ou mesmo de uma zona de interstício. Esta interação é abordada em três momentos: o primeiro concentra-se nos ataques de 2008 que tiveram como alvo o Centro Universitário Belas Artes, a Galeria Choque Cultural e a 28ª Bienal de São Paulo; o segundo foca a participação dos pixadores Rafael Augustaitiz e Cripta Djan em duas bienais (29ª Bienal de São Paulo e 7ª Bienal de Berlim); o terceiro se volta a uma reflexão reinserida no contexto cultural urbano da pixação pós 2008. Como ferramentas analíticas e reflexivas, consideraram-se conceitos como o da estética da iminência de Néstor García Canclini, bem como muitas noções que se inserem na discussão sobre a complexidade cultural latino-americana. Adotam-se conceitos relativos a produção simbólica dentro das chamadas culturas urbanas para aprofundar a reflexão sobre o uso social do espaço urbano, as práticas discursivas da arte assim como o discurso poético-político da pixação.This work presents the possibility of opening a debate that highlights the unfolding matters concerning the interaction between the pixação and the field of art. The research seeks to understand how the pixação – through it’s usage of this field structure – can lead to reflections on artistic practices that occur from a variable perspective, perhaps momentary, or even in that interstice zone. This interaction was approached considering three moments: the first one focuses on the 2008 attacks that targeted the Centro Universitário Belas Artes, the Choque Cultural Gallery and the 28th São Paulo Biennial; the second one focuses on the participation of the pixadores Rafael Augustaitiz e Cripta Djan in two biennials (29th São Paulo Biennial and 7th Berlin Biennial); the third one is a reflection reinserted in the urban cultural context of post-2008 pixação. As analytical and reflexive tools, concepts like the aesthetics of the imminence developed by Néstor García Canclini were considered, as well as many notions that are inserted in a discussion about the complex cultural aspects of Latin America. Concepts related to symbolic production within the so-called urban cultures were adopted to deepen the reflection on the social use of urban space, the discursive practices of art as well as the poetic-political discourse of pixação.

Undersökningens syfte är att med hjälp av semiotiska och receptionsestetiska verktyg undersöka hurArvida Byström i Inflated Fiction (2018) ifrågasätter den manliga blicken och föreställningar om femininitet. Mot en blickteoretisk bakgrund har begrepp som maskeraden och subversiv affirmationtillämpats för att visa hur objektifierande bildkonventioner används för att konkretisera ideologiska fenomen. Analysen uppmärksammar hur intertextuell opposition, retorisk integrering, retorisk likhet ochskriftliga element används för att bekräfta, returnera och störa. Den manliga blicken i synnerhet och denpatriarkala ideologin i allmänhet. Avslutningsvis föreslås begreppet subversiva affirmationer, snarare än maskeraden, för att beskrivaByströms konstnärliga strategi. Trots begreppets begränsningar menar jag att det mer effektivt betonarhur ideologiska fenomen kan konkretiseras genom mimesis. Maskeraden som begrepp riskerar osynliggöra andra sociala grupper och reproducera föreställningar om relationen mellan biologiskt könoch socialt genus. Subversiva affirmationer blir därför mer lämpligt med tanke på det queer-feministiskasammanhang Byström rör sig inom

Full textAbstract:
L’œuvre de Pierre Molinier (1900-1976) est profondément transgressive, autant par les procédés élaborés que par les thèmes investis. Le réseau d’influences nourrissant les expérimentations plastiques de l’artiste est com-plexe et nous verrons comment certains de ses points nodaux tel que le fétichisme sont métaphorisés au sein de ses techniques photographiques et picturales. Il s’agira également de comprendre pourquoi les images et les discours qu’elles produisent apparaissent aujourd’hui comme précurseurs d’une conception queer de l’identité, du corps et des sexualités. Par ailleurs, une telle recherche pose la question du regard porté sur ses œuvres et de la contextualisation de celui-ci. Nous avons eu recours à une méthodologie d’analyse similaire à celle employée par William F. Edmiston dans Sade Queer Theorist et reposant sur de réguliers retours aux œuvres et aux textes issus des notes et des correspondances de l’artiste. Nous avons choisi d’articuler notre thèse selon deux mouvements, similaires à ceux structurant le processus créatif de l’artiste. La première partie repose sur l’analyse d’une extension au-delà du corps de l’artiste. Masques et prothèses sont employés en tant qu’outils de modification corporelle et participent à l’expression d’une authenticité dans l’artifice. Les créa-tures que Molinier compose à partir de photographies de lui- même et de ses modèles traduisent le passage de la multiplicité à l’unité et donnent à voir des anatomies dissidentes. La seconde partie, répondant à la précédente, correspond à un mouvement de contraction. D’une part, son rapport à l’autre s’établit sur le mode de l’absorption, l’artiste conçoit le caractère ductile des corps et les emploie comme matériaux de création. D’autre part, les expérimentations autoérotiques occupent une place primordiale dans le paradigme molinien qui s’approprie le vocabulaire visuel du Bdsm. Chez Molinier, le corps se révèle dans une matérialité créatrice à partir de laquelle l’artiste- alchimiste donne naissance à des créatures hybrides, incarnant son idéal de fluidi-té de l’identité et des sexualités. Pierre Molinier vient perturber des systèmes binaires et normatifs tant dans ses pratiques autoérotiques que dans leur mode de représentation. Construisant un langage de l’intime et du corps, il en reconfigure la forme et les fonctions, alliant mascarade et transgression vers de nouvelles corpo-réitésPierre Molinier's (1900-1976) art is fundamentally transgressive, regarding as much the process he elaborates as the topics he addresses. The artist's experiments are built on a complex network of influences, and we will explore how some of its nodal points - such as fetishism - are metaphorized in his photographic and pictorial techniques. This thesis deals with an understanding of how the images and the discourses they produce nowa-days appear to us as a proto-queer idea of identity, embodiment and sexualities. Furthermore, our research interrogates the perception of his works and their contextualization. Our analysis methodology is quite similar to the one that William F. Edmiston develops in Sade Queer Theorist, and is based on a deep look inside of the works and texts taken out of the artist's mail. Our thesis is articulated in two parts, looking alike the artist's creative process. The first part aims to develop the analysis of an outgrowth beyond the artist's body. Masks and prostheses are employed as body modification tools and participate in expressing a kind of authenticity in trickery. The creatures that Molinier builds based on his own photographs point out the path from multiplicity to unity and offer us to look at dissenting anatomies. The second part answers to the first and matches a movement of contraction. On the one side, the artist's relationship with the other is established on an absorp-tion mode, he understands the bodies ductile nature and uses them as creation materials. On the other side, auto- erotical experimentations take a firsthand place in the molinian paradigm, which reclaim the visual vo-cabulary of BDSM. In Molinier’s work, the body is shown as a creative materiality, on which the artist-alchemist builds in order to give birth to hybrid creatures, that embody his ideal of identity and sexualities fluidity. Pierre Molinier disrupts binaries and normativity, through both his auto-erotical practices and their mode of representation. Developing a language of the intimacy and the body, he redesigns their form and functions, combining masquerade and transgression, toward new embodiments

Full textAbstract:
Si Duchamp, Kaprow ou Fahlstr6m !'érigent en modèle pour l'art, le jeu est pour Dada auréolé du parfum sulfureux du blasphème. Avec les surréalistes, il acquiert une dimension heuristique et marque le refus du pouvoir de la raison. Symptôme et solution, le jeu offre un champ d'expérimentation jugé salutaire et susceptible de renouveler la pratique artistique. Reprenant le projet des avant-gardes, les situationnistes le hissent en finalité de leur action, au titre d'une royauté pascalienne qu'il s'agit d'offrir à tous. Les contextes idéologiques et artistiques déterminent différents moments du rapport entre !'art et le jeu, qui sont autant d'acceptions du terme. Or, dès lors qu'il devient un des paradigmes dominants de !'art actuel et que la société !'assimile au divertissement, les artistes doivent réinventer de nouvelles règles et manières de jouer. Réponse à un état d'urgence, le jeu reste une voie alternative pour repenser la société, l'art et l'artiste, désormais comparable au Bateleur, au Joker ou au triek. Ster. Philosophes, historiens et sociologues ayant étudié cette notion labile de jeu proposent un cadre de réflexion pour penser certaines pratiques artistiques des XXe et XXIe siècles à !'aune de cet empire du comme si et de l'incertitude. Enracinée dans la tradition philosophique, la comparaison de !'art avec le jeu repose pour partie sur le pouvoir métaphorique de cette activité de second degré, de ces structures modélisant des rapports de force et des contraintes, et de ces instruments symboliques permettant de rejouer sa partie avec le monde. Se logeant en creux dans la création artistique ou brandi comme une arme, le jeu est facteur de désordre et de transgression. Paraissant gratuit et futile, il est champ du possible. Métaphore active, il incarne un outil de modélisation satirique et de subversion du système.

Full textAbstract:
The intention of this thesis is to identify and analyze the cat woman archetype as a contemporary extension of the transgressive witch archetype, which rampantly appears over the course of cinema history, working as a signifier of a patriarchal society's fear of autonomous and subversive women. The character of Catwoman is the ultimate representation for this archetype on grounds of her visibility, longevity, and ability to return again and again. More importantly, Catwoman and her sisterhood of cat women work against male creators as a means of female empowerment through trickery. Within this thesis, key films of varying genres are drawn from throughout cinema history and analyzed in order to demonstrate the intertextual network of characters that make up the cat woman archetype, and the importance of the Catwoman character in her many forms.

Full textAbstract:
A chaque époque, son Mythe. Celui des sixties a arboré un nouveau visage, il s’est baptisé « la révolution psychédélique ». En purifiant les Portes de la Perception, les esthètes existentiels propulsés par l’ivresse et l’eudémonisme, ont allumé le mythe du Light-Show. Celui-ci n’est ni une simple histoire de drogues, ni de contre-culture. Par son esthétique totale : ses conditions d’émergence, son efficience processuelle et son expérience se devaient également d’être totales. Il ne s’agit plus de créer des Mythes, mais bien de renouer avec le Mythe de l’Essence Création en exaltant la force participative du spectateur dans une correspondance avec l’infini. Il s’agit d’une alternative artistique à l’expérience du LSD conçue sous le mode opératoire d’un spectacle total, impliquant dans son esthétique, tous les paradoxes d’une réflexion basée sur des dichotomies : de la possibilité d’une participation et d’une forme de création au sein de cet art transcendantal, à la réelle valeur d’une théâtralité se voulant d’être purificatrice, au sein de ces « théâtres psychédéliques ». L’espace d’une nuit, d’un voyage cosmique, la génération de l’acide lysergique participe à ces célébrations psychédéliques hybridant concert rock, diapositives liquides, projections filmiques, stroboscopiques, lumières colorées, imprégnant alors l’atmosphère et les participants de vibrations métaphysiques. Entre spectacle synesthésique, théâtre électrique et rituel incantatoire, le Light-Show nous plonge dans le mesmérisme extatique d’un art total. La fin du rêve fantasmé s’arrête là où s’ouvrent les portes des temples des Light-Shows psychédéliques de San FranciscoFor each time, there is a Myth, and the Myth of the sixties wore a new face: it has been called the «psychedelic revolution». By purifying the Doors of Perception, existential aesthetes powered by drunkenness and the eudemonism of a whole acid-generation, lit the myth of the Light Show up. The Light Show is neither a matter of drug, nor a simple counterculture tale. Through its total aesthetics: its emergent conditions, its efficient process and experience must be considered in a total way too. It doesn’t consist in making myths anymore, but to reconnect with the Myth of Creation by exalting the participatory matter, in an aesthetics which reconciles the audience with the Essence of Being and the Essence of Things: a bridge towards the infinite. It is based on the artistic alternative process from regular LSD trip, elaborated around a total show modus operandi, with all its aesthetic contradictions based on dichotomies: the nature of participation and creation in transcendental art, as well as the place and value of theatricality in such a “pure” and cathartic show also known as «psychedelic theaters”. Thus, for a night, for a cosmic journey, the lysergic generation participates to these psychedelic celebrations blending rock concert, liquid slides, films, strobe and colored lights that imprint the atmosphere and the audience with metaphysical vibrations. Synesthesic show, electric theatre and ritual incantation: the Light-Show wraps us into an ecstatic mesmerism of its total art. The oniric phantasm ends when the gates of San Francisco’s psychedelic temples of light-shows open

Full textAbstract:
El llenguatge cinematogràfic és un llenguatge artístic i comunicatiu certament complex. El punt de partença del treball és que la presència de la música en els films defineix part dels mecanismes ontològics, narratius, expressius, dramatúrgics, psicològics o, fins i tot, històrics amb què el llenguatge cinematogràfic articula la seva diègesi. Es porta a terme una recerca entorn de l'estudi de la música present en el cinema, posant el focus en l'obra cinematogràfica que el director català Pere Portabella realitza en el període comprès entre 1967 i el 1976. Portabella, nascut a Figueres l'any 1927, desenvolupa la seva activitat com a realitzador cinematogràfic a partir de la segona meitat dels anys seixanta del segle XX.
Des d'un punt de vista sincrònic, la episteme de la "imatge contemporània" conjuga, en el seu si, la dualitat del valor icònic i del valor sonor i musical. Així, tot i que aquest treball estudia la música en el cinema, i la relació estètica i formal de la imatge i la música en el conjunt de l'expressió cinematogràfica, aquest és, també, un treball sobre la "imatge", en el qual es prova d'explicar aquest fet: com la música és un element que pertany als mecanismes de la construcció de la imatge moderna i contemporània. Aixi, hem procurat entendre i justificar com la principal construcció icònica del segle XX -la imatge que neix amb el cinematògraf, la imatge que capta, finalment, el moviment del món- adquireix i assimila una dimensió sonora i musical en el seu flux, en el seu camp epistemològic.
D'altra banda, des d'una perspectiva diacrònica, el llenguatge cinematogràfic ha evolucionat de manera constant durant el transcurs del segle XX i provem d'estudiar quin ha estat el paper de la música en aquesta evolució. L'anomenada Manera de Representació Primitiva (mrp), pròpia dels inicis del cinematògraf, es transforma en la Manera de Representació Institucional (mri), que s'expressa en el cinema considerat clàssic. A partir dels anys seixanta, quan amb l'eclosió a Europa dels Nous Cinemes la mri és posada en dubte, estudiem una nova concepció cinematogràfica anomenada "cinema de la modernitat" o Manera de Representació Moderna. És en aquest darrer període en què podem contextualitzar la proposta cinematogràfica de Pere Portabella en el període 1967-1976: en certa manera, Portabella inaugura la modernitat cinematogràfica a l'Estat Espanyol, subvertint amb el seu cinema els cànons del llenguatge de la mri. La nostra investigació procura atendre com Portabella articula aquesta subversió del llenguatge cinematogràfic a través de la música; és a dir, l'estudi des d'un punt de vista estètic, de com el cineasta situa la seva praxi artística als marges de la sintaxi imperant i quin és el valor que té, la presència de la música, en l'articulació d'aquesta proposta cinematogràfica moderna.
L'anàlisi del cinema del director català en la seva etapa 1967-1976, ens permet estudiar aquesta "imatge" en l'articulació moderna del cinema i atendre la seva relació amb la música en aquesta epistem que, en el transcurs del treball, anomenem "imatge musicada". Proposem aquest terme -"imatge musicada", entesa com a aquella expressió, aquell flux de vibracions i d'ones, de sons i de llum, que aglutina en el seu si la dimensió icònica pròpia de la (re)presentació visual i la dimensió sonora pròpia del llenguatge musical de la "imatge"-, per enfocar, d'una manera original i interdisciplinària, l'estudi de la "imatge" i la música en la construcció del llenguatge cinematogràfic modern a través de l'anàlisi dels films del director català.
Les característiques estètiques i l'evolució d'aquesta formulació epistemològica és el que aquest treball ha estudiat, investigació que s'ha concretat en l'anàlisi de l'obra cinematogràfica de Pere Portabella.

This research offers a comparative analysis of the multidisciplinary works of Maria Klonaris, Katerina Thomadaki, Steven Cohen and Shu Lea Cheang. Their works provides a useful framework for understanding Judith Butler's theory of "gender performativity"(1990) and Donna Haraway‟s vision of "utopian dream of the hope for a monstrous world without gender"(1985). The possibilities of the body and gender respond to technological and cultural evolutions that are linked with queer theory. These works are on-going experiments for identities that are in-the-making

Full textAbstract:
L'argumentation de ma thèse a pour but d'analyser deux corpus différents qui émergent en Turquie depuis les années 1990, l'une est la culture subalterne kurde et ses codes politico-culturels, l'autre est l'art contemporain et ses pratiques canoniques menés par les artistes de l'espace kurde. La première est concentrée sur la présentation de la culture subalterne telle qu'elle apparaît après la guerre et ses conséquences postmigratoires, et a une analyse de détail des théories de la culture et de la microsociologie dans un contexte socioculturel que nous engageons une critique multiple qui exige une approche transdisciplinaire des faits infinitésimaux. C'est pourquoi, le premier corpus nous explique l'appartenance, l'alternance et la reterritorialisation dans la dynamique de la culture subalterne kurde depuis l'espace public et la sphère publique alors que le deuxième corpus apporte une relecture de l'art contemporain comme un canon réflexif pratiqué par les artistes de l'espace kurde, et nous amène au phénomène de l'émergence de cette pratique artistique qui exprime plutôt la singularité intelectuelle, artistique et une subversion humoristique dans le milieu de l'art. Finalement, la comparaison de ces deux corpus implique une problématique multiple. Premièrement, il s'agit de questionner les différentes dynamiques migratoires de l'espace kurde, deuxièmement d'observer la tendance, les influences politiques et culturelles actuelles sur la pratique de l'art contemporain à l'échelle mondiale en se situant au niveau d'analyse microsociologique pour comprendre notre corpus conceptuelThe argumentation of my thesis aims to analyze two different corpora wich appear in Turkey since the 1990s ; one is the subaltern Kurdish culture and its politico-cultural codes ; the other one is contemporary art and its canonical practices led by the artists of the "Kurdish sphere". The first aim concentrates on the presentation of the subordinate culture as it appears after the war (postmigratory consequences). It also offers a detailed analysis across the theories of culture and the micro-sociology within a socio-cultural context that we investigate through multiple criticisms. Hence, our undertaking requires a transdisciplinary approach to the 'minute facts'. That is why, relying on the first corpus we explain the phenomena such as membership, alternation and reterritorialisation in the dynamic of the subalterne Kurdish culture in the public sphere. As for the second corpus, it brings a second reading of contemporary art as a canonical reflexive practised by the artists of the Kurdish sphere, and leads to the phenomenon of the emergence of this artistic practice wich rather expresses the artistic peculiarity and the humoristic subversion in artistic environment. Finally, the comparison of these two corpora offers a further multi-faceted analysis. Firstly, we need to question various migratory dynamics of the Kurdish sphere. Secondly, we need to observe the current political and cultural influences on the practice of contemporary art in the context of globalization by favoring a microsociological analysis so as to better make sense of our abstract corpus, namely the war with its post-traumatic effects and the subversive humoristic trend in the artistic field

Full textAbstract:
American writers of narrative fiction frequently manipulate the words of their narrators in order to convey a significance of which the author and the reader are aware but the narrator is not. By causing the narrator to reveal information unwittingly, the author develops covert themes that are antithetical to those espoused by the narrator. Particularly subject to such subversion is the first-person narrator whose "I" is not to be interpreted as the voice of the author. This study examines how and why the first-person narrator is subverted in four works of twentieth-century American fiction: J. D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Ernest Hemingway's A Farewell to , and Philip Roth's Goodbye, Columbus

Full textAbstract:
Painted in 1937 as part of the centenary celebration of the death of Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Ulyanov's A. S. Pushkin and his Wife, N. N. Pushkina at the Imperial Ball has been lauded as the quintessential example of Soviet history painting. Modern scholars have followed the lead of Soviet critics, who praised the painting for its insight into the psychology of the brilliant poet repressed by the tyrannical tsarist regime. According to this interpretation, Soviet viewers in the 1930s were to ponder on the tragedy of Pushkin's demise and rejoice that the victory of Socialism had freed them from such repression. However, this thesis suggests that Ulyanov embedded a secondary, subversive message in his masterpiece. Through careful manipulation of Pushkin's complex semiotic significance, Socialist Realist dialectics, and the Aesopian method, Ulyanov crafted an image that could be celebrated for its adherence to Soviet ideology, while simultaneously suggesting to those who detected his clues that artistic repression had not ended with the revolution. In this subversive reading, Ulyanov's masterwork becomes a psychological self-portrait of an artist living under Stalinist oppression during the Great Terror.

Full textAbstract:
Across medieval Europe, the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain traced a lattice web of popular culture. From the lowest peasant to the greatest king and churchmen, the devout walked pathways that created an economy and contributed to a social and political climate of change. Central to this impulse of piety and wanderlust was the veneration of the Virgin Mary. She was, however, not the iconic Mother of the New Testament whose character, actions, and very name are nearly absent from that first-century compilation of texts. As characterized in the words of popular songs and tales, the mariales, she was a robust saint who performed acts of healing that exceeded those miracles of Jesus described in the Bible. Unafraid and authoritative, she confronted demons and provided judgement that reached beyond the understanding and mercy of medieval codes of law. Holding out the promise of protection from physical and spiritual harm, she attracted denizens of admirers who included poets, minstrels, and troubadours like Nigel of Canterbury, John of Garland, Gonzalo de Berceo, and Gautier de Coinci. They popularized her cult across Europe; pilgrims sang their songs and celebrated the new attributes of Mary. This dissertation uses the greatest collection of these songs, Las Cantigas de Santa Maria compiled in the thirteenth century under the direction of Alfonso X, King of Castile and Leon, to construct the history of a lay piety movement deeply rooted in medieval popular culture. Making the transition from institutionalized, doctrinal saint to popular heroine, Mary becomes a subversive conduit through which culture moved from Latin poetry to vernacular verse and from the monasteries of scholasticism to the popular pathway of Wycliffite reform.

En s’appuyant sur des entretiens biographiques menés auprès de rappeuses et rappeurs français mais aussi sur leur répertoire et sur leurs expériences d’auditeurs, cette recherche analyse les liens entre écriture et engagement, entre expression publique et production de représentations sociales, entre manque de reconnaissance, réappropriation de la parole et redéfinition de soi. Que ce soit par la revendication ou la simple nomination, en tant que militant ou en tant que témoins, en dénonçant ou en se racontant, les rappeurs font vivre par leur travail artistique tout un ensemble d’identités, d’expériences et de points de vue souvent absents de l’espace public dominant car minoritaires ou disqualifiants. Cette thèse montre comment, en instaurant une rupture dans l’ordre des choses, les discours du rap peuvent influer sur les trajectoires individuelles, bousculer le monopole de la parole et du savoir, et (ré)activer des principes démocratiques de liberté d’expression et de participation à la chose publiqueThis work deals with rap music as a means to express one’s point of view in the public space. It studies the power of words in rap music and their impact on those who perform it, those who listen to it, and also those who – even in spite of themselves – are only able to hear it. How do you come to speak in front of others publicly? Why through rap music? In order to say what? What political significance can a discourse voiced by music have? This research relies on biographical interviews with French female and male rappers, their repertoire and their experiences as listeners. The links between the act of writing and commitment, between the act of speaking in public and the production of social representations, between the lack of recognition suffered by some individuals and the act of finding one’s own voice and redefining one’s self are here analysed. By claiming or simply stating, with the voice of a militant or a witness, by denouncing or telling one’s own story, rappers shed light on a multitude of identities, experiences and points of view often absent from the dominant public space because they are either lost in the minority or stigmatizing. This thesis shows how, by disrupting the normal order of things, the discourses in rap music can have an influence on the trajectories of individuals, disturb the monopoly on speech and knowledge, and (re)activate the democratic principles of freedom of speech and participation in the public sphere

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers a typology of Postmodern women�s discourse from a sociological perspective. By focusing on the reading of Gioconda Belli�s Sofia de los presagios, Isabel Allende�s Paula, and Anacristina Rossi�s La loca de Gandoca, it examines how each writer achieves, thanks to the process of dialogism and the carnivalesque, a critique of social and aesthetic values, associated with Eurocentric discourse.
Thanks to these two processes, the values associated with the marginalized position of women in Latin America, are brought to the surface, offering a better understanding of the relation that exists between women�s literary production and the cultural environment.
Chapter one offers an overview of the concepts associated with Posmodernism, and its relevance in the Latin American context. This chapter also outlines the key concepts associated with dialogism and the carnivalesque.
Chapter two examines the use of the carnivalesque in two plays by Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Los empenos de una casa and Amor es mas laberinto as antecedents of subversive writing in Spanish American women�s writing. It discusses how Sor Juana through appropriation and inversion, transforms her texts into a critique of marginalized social groups. This chapter proposes that Sor Juana sets the model for the subversive nature of Spanish American women�s writing.
Chapter three offers a reading of Cristina Peri Rossi�s El libro de mis primos as an example of radical feminist discourse produced in the 60�s, focusing on the use of parody and irony as means of transgressing patriarchal discourse.
Chapter four examines Gioconda Belli�s Sofia de los presagios, and the incorporation of ancestral and modern myths, to accentuate women�s marginality and the conflicting and contradictory nature of Nicaraguan society.
Chapter five focuses on a reading of Isabel Allende�s Paula in which the techniques of magical realism and the carnivalesque are brought together to criticize social and cultural practices that marginalize women.
Chapter six examines Anacristina Rossi�s La loca de Gandoca. It focuses on the way Rossi makes use of popular music, romantic literature, poetry, and bureaucratic discourse, to denounce the exploitation and destruction of Costa Rica�s natural resources through ecotourism.

Problemas de como se dà a relaÃÃo de Arte, instituiÃÃes e mercadoria, de como pensar a ResistÃncia Ãs ârelaÃÃes de poderâ atravÃs das artes, e de como criar novos modos de existÃncia partindo da criaÃÃo, da reinvenÃÃo da EducaÃÃo, do olhar crÃtico em torno das âSociedades de controleâ (conceito pensado por Deleuze), sÃo colocados em discussÃo durante todo o trabalho. Em quase um ano de intervenÃÃo junto ao ELAS, vÃrias ideias e problemas foram pensados e muita Arte foi realizada, numa tentativa de se fazer guerrilha, de criar mundos e de compor vidas, com as prÃticas artÃsticas que buscam inquietar, desterritorializando o sistema educacional tradicional, numa preocupaÃÃo Ãtica e social com o mundo que se faz presente. E num certo erotismo de engajamento polÃtico, a Arte que à produzida dentro de coletivos (onde, na dÃcada de 90, houve uma explosÃo destes coletivos, no Brasil) como no ELAS, com as inspiraÃÃes vindas desde à dÃcada de 30, tÃm nos feito buscar o que se pode ter como livre, em oposiÃÃo Ãs relaÃÃes desenvolvidas no sistema capitalista, pensando e compondo uma âestÃtica da existÃnciaâ, colocada por Foucault (1994), e que podemos visualizar na obra de Hakim Bey(2005) em Zonas AutÃnomas temporÃrias(TAZ) e de Luther Blisset (2001) nas criaÃÃes de mito, em âguerrilhas psÃquicasâ, em aÃÃes de furto como no coletivo Yomango , e âterrorismos poÃticosâ, prÃticas que questionam as relaÃÃes de poderes, e que sÃo formas criativas, subversivas, impactantes e novas, de se fazer polÃtica e de se viver a prÃpria vida.
This research study presents the actions of the activist artistic movement ELAS (Free School of subversive art) in order to reflect about the way in which the process of art, resistance and education takes place today through artists, artistic collectives and movements. It is through cartography that we establish a link between the art in progress, with its resistance to the traditional research methodologies, and the elaboration of artistic practices that are limited by the State and by private companies, that use their power to influence the subject matter and other demands upon artistic experimentation. The following questions are discussed during the entire project: the current relation between art, institutions and the market, how to conceive the resistance to power through the arts, the construction of new ways of existence departing from the creation process, the reinvention of Education, of the critical view of societies of control ( concept introduced by Deleuze), among others. In almost a year of happenings with ELAS, many ideas and problems were reflected upon and a huge amount of art was made, with the intent of making guerrilla, of creating worlds and composing lives, with artistic practices that aim to awaken, expropriating the educational system, in an ethical and social concern with the world that becomes present. And in a certain eroticism of politicalinvolvement, the art produced in collectives ( there was an explosion of these collectives in Brazil during the 90âs) like ELAS, with inspirations originating since the 30âs, has made us look for what can be seen as free, in relations within contemporary society, looking at the way we take care of ourselves through an existence esthetic, denominated by Foucault, and that can also be seen in Hakim Beyâs work in Temporary Autonomous Zones (TAZ), in the creation of myth, in psychic guerrillas, in actions of theft like the ones of the collective Yomango, in poetic terrorisms; all of these practices that question the power relations, and creative, subversive, new and impacting ways of doing politics and living your own life.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the subversion of Biblical discourse in Jeanette Winterson’s first two novels, Oranges are Not the Only Fruit and Boating for Beginners. By rewriting Biblical stories Winterson challenges traditional Western religious discourses and their rules for heteronormative social and sexual behaviours and desires. Winterson’s texts respond to the patriarchal nature of socially pervasive texts, such as the Bible, by encouraging her readers to regard these texts with suspicion, thus highlighting what can be seen as a ‘postmodern concern’ with the notion of ‘truth’. Chapter One of this thesis comprises a discussion of Biblical boundaries. These boundaries, I argue, are a process of historical oppression which serves to subjugate and control women, a practice inherent in the Bible and modern society. The Biblical boundaries within which women are expected to live, are carefully portrayed in Oranges and then comically and blasphemously mocked in Boating. Chapter One also argues that Winterson’s sexuality plays an important role in the understanding of her texts, despite her desire for her sexuality to remain ‘outside’ her writing. Chapter Two of this thesis, examines the mix of fact and fiction in Oranges, in order to create a new genre: fictional memoir. The chapter introduces the concept of the ‘autobiographical pact’ and the textual agreement which Winterson creates with her readers. In this chapter, I examine Winterson’s powerful subversion of Biblical discourse, through her narration of Jeanette’s ‘coming out’ within a Biblical framework. Chapter Three of this thesis examines Winterson’s second book, Boating, and the serious elements of this comic book. This chapter studies the various postmodern narrative techniques used in Boating in order to subvert Biblical and historical discourse. Chapter Three highlights Winterson’s postmodern concern with the construction of history as ‘truth’. Finally, Chapter Four compares Oranges and Boating, showing the texts as differing, yet equally relevant textual counterparts. This chapter examines the anti-feminine characters in both texts and Winterson’s ability to align her reader with a feminist or lesbian viewpoint. This thesis argues that Winterson’s first two texts deliberately challenge Biblical discourse in favour of a postmodern feminist viewpoint.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est née d’un questionnement sur le corps de l’acteur en scène au regard des normes, insufflé par le séminaire de Jean-Jacques Courtine sur «L’histoire du corps anormal». Cette focalisation sur le corps en scène réactive ma passion pour un théâtre où les acteurs, désignés comme singuliers, ne sortent pas des grandes écoles de théâtre ou de danse. Ces spectacles, de plus en plus visibles, présentent le corps dans sa réalité et non plus son idéalité. Ces corps charnels ont un impact sur les spectateurs. Que dit ce théâtre des corps sur le corps aujourd’hui ? A quel besoin répond-il ? La partie I, en cherchant à nommer ces acteurs et ces spectacles, interroge des notions (normal/anormal/hors-normes, ordinaire/extra-ordinaire, handicap/handicapé, art/art-Thérapie, professionnel/amateur, …) et des normes corporelles en vigueur aujourd’hui, normes de l’acteur et de sa représentation. La partie II analyse des documents hétérogènes afin de cerner le ressenti de spectateurs face aux spectacles de l’Oiseau-Mouche (au fil de son histoire), de troupes et de metteurs en scène qui mettent leur corps en jeuThis dissertation originates in a questioning of the body of the stage actor in relation to social norms, inspired by Jean-Jacques Courtine’s seminar on «the history of the abnormal body». This focus on the body on stage has revived my passion for a kind of theatre in which actors, perceived as singular, have not been trained in the main theatre or dance academies. These shows more and more conspicuously display the body as real rather than ideal. These bodies in flesh and blood have a powerful impact on spectators. What does this body theatre have to say on the current state of the body? What kind of need does it meet?The first part of this work tries to give these actors and these plays a name by questioning some of the categories (normal/abnormal/out of norms; ordinary/extra-ordinary; disability/disabled; art/art-therapy; professional/amateur, …), as well as the bodily norms of the actor and his/her representation in force to day. The second part analyses heterogeneous documents in order to grasp the perception of spectators when attending the Oiseau Mouche various plays (in the course of the company’s history), as well as those of companies’ and stage directors’ works in which the body is deeply involved

Lin, Wei-chun. "Les images et l’image dans l’œuvre de Michel Tournier." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LYO20003.
Full textAbstract:
Cette étude de l’image dans l’œuvre de Tournier vise à déchiffrer la conception qu’a l’écrivain de l’image, la spécificité de son monde imaginaire ainsi que sa passion à créer la nouveauté, à l’instar des artistes. Ainsi, les images, photographiques et peintes, tantôt maléfiques tantôt bénéfiques, révèlent l’imaginaire spécifique de Michel Tournier : l’ambiguïté d’une imaginaire « bifrons ». Une image n’est jamais limpide ni durablement stable. Le caractère dual et le plus souvent antithétique des images illustre bien le projet esthétique de Tournier : l’ambiguïté, la contradiction, la polysémie. Ce projet esthétique lance un défi à la pensée et aux habitudes du lecteur. Une image n’est pas telle qu’elle semble l’être ; un mot ne renvoie pas non plus à ce qu’il représente dans l’œuvre littéraire ; le monde n’est pas tel qu’il est perçu. Toutes les valeurs, les règles imposées par la société, par l’homme demandent à être inversées et interprétées. Analysant les images chez Tournier, cette recherche permet spécifiquement de réfléchir aux possibilités de la représentation, à leur valeur et donc à la création littéraire, considérée comme une « re-présentation »This study of image in Tournier's work aims to decipher the writer’s conception of image, the specificity of his imaginary world, his passion to create « new » like artists do. Thus, images, photographic and painted, either evil or beneficial, reveal the specific imagination of Michel Tournier – the ambiguity of an imaginary « bifrons ». An image is neither clear nor stable. The dual and often antithetical nature of image illustrates the aesthetic project of the writer: ambiguity, contradiction and polysemy. This aesthetic project is a challenge to the reader’s usual thoughts and habits. An image is not like it seems to be, a word is not changes his meanings in literary works, the world is not like it is perceived. All values, rules imposed by society, by human beings have to be inverted and interpreted. By analyzing images in the works of Tournier, this research specifically invites us to reflect on the possibilities of representation, and on their value and literary creation, considered as « re-presentation »
