Abstract:
Western aesthetic convention represents an accrual of inherited societal perspectives on the artist, the artifact and its consumer. A review of its history and the etymology of its terminology discloses a twofold problem. The first aspect concerns the separation of the manufacture of aesthetic objects from their economic raison d'etre. The second involves the categorization of these artifacts into art or craft. This problem is compounded when considering Western judgements on non-Western aesthetics. Inuit handicraft provides an appropriate model to illustrate the fact that present convention a

Abstract:
In this thesis, I investigate the main characteristics and techniques of the visual language of Dada and Surrealism and how they have survived and evolved in the realm of graphic design, especially in contemporary poster art. I also analyzed how Dada and Surrealist irrational humor has been transformed and activated into today's poster art, to support my claim that there are unique parallels and similar visual relationships. In my thesis methodology, I used one-on-one interviews with some of the poster artists whose work I analyzed. I also compared the work of specific artists with aspects of

Abstract:
This thesis describes research in the computational analysis of harmony in western art music, focussing particularly on improving the accuracy and information-richness of key and chord extraction from digital score data. It is argued that a greater sophistication in automatic harmony analysis is an important contribution to the field of computational musicology. Initial experiments use hidden Markov models to predict key and modulation from automatically labelled chord sequences. Model parameters are based on heuristically formulated chord and key weightings derived from Sch¨onberg’s harmonic

Since the 1990s, cultural geographers have used a variety of methodologies to track the physical migration of queers toward inner-city space and explored the wider cultural imaginaries that have grown up around this phenomenon.

Music travels across the past in the form of composers borrowing from each other.

Music also travels across the present and into the future. The outcome of contemporary composers borrowing from each other influences the present period and affects later compose

The female body exists as a sexualised object of these processes of looking within Western culture, not only in high art, but also in discourses such as medicine and science. In both art and medicine the female body has been treated as a passive object to be studied, analysed and classified. Power relations and patriarchal ideologies have played a great part in the resulting objectifying representations, fi

Abstract:
From the beginning of serious art historical study of Japanese woodblock prints or Ukiyo-e, the artist Suzuki Harunobu (1725-1770) has been accorded a prominent position in the development of that art form primarily because of his role in the creation of the first full colour prints. This, and his particular conception of feminine beauty which he chose to illustrate most often as the main subject of his art, made him the dominant artist of his generation. The popularity he achieved during his lifetime was monumental, but he met with a premature and untimely death. Shortly after his death Shiba

The present work seeks to explore the modern Orthodox Christian view of western art with a particular reference to western painting since the times of the Italian Renaissance to the present day. The fact that the phenomenon of western art is relatively new appears as a main challenge while attempting to examine the validity of modern views expressed in the name of the Orthodox tradition by references from patristic sources. Therefore the method of this thesis is to divide the concept of western art into its constituent components and find the patristic responses to each of them in the light of

The transcription was an integral part of the marimba repertoire for many years. However, the range and technical advancements of the time limited the transcription process. Often the marimba part would consist of the melody while a piano would be utilized to fill in the accompaniment and notes not able to be performed by the marimbist. The marimba and piano share many similarities that allow for successful transcriptions between the two instruments. This document focuses on the transcription of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century keyboard music for the marimba duo setting. It is the opinion of

Jerusalem, in all its possible meanings literal and metaphorical, was deeply embedded in the culture of the Medieval and early Renaissance West.

Acting with the image it surrounds, it links the artwork to the surrounding space as well as the viewer.
