Abstract:
Das „Tokyo Experimental Performance Archive“ wurde 2014 von Yasuo Ozawa, einem unabhängigen Produzenten im Bereich Musik- und Tanz-/ Körperperformance initiiert. Im ersten Jahr des zunächst auf eine Dauer von drei Jahren angelegten Projekts wurden sechs Performances von Künstlern, die der japanischen experimentellen Musik- und Tanzszene zuzurechnen sind, filmisch dokumentiert und auf einer projektbezogenen Website im Internet veröffentlicht. In einem Gespräch mit der Autorin erläutert Ozawa seine Vorstellung von einem Archiv als ‚kreativer Kommunikationsplattform’, seine Kurz- und Langzeitvision des „Tokyo Experimental Performance Archive“, sowie seinen Kampf mit den Windmühlen der japanischen Bürokratie.

Abstract:
viii, 111 p. : ill. (some col.)<br>During the early stage of Japan's High Economic Growth Period (1955-1970), a group of directors and films, labeled the Japanese New Wave, emerged to strong critical acclaim and scholarly pursuit. Over time, Japanese New Wave Cinema has come to occupy a central position within the narrative history of Japanese film studies. This position has helped introduce many significant films while inadvertently ostracizing or ignoring the much broader landscape of film at this time. This thesis seeks to complexify the New Wave's central position through the career of Daiei Studios' director, Masumura Yasuzo. Masumura signifies a "space in-between" the cultural elite represented by the New Wave and the box office focus of mass culture cinema. Utilizing available English language and rare Japanese sources, this thesis will re-examine Masumura's position on the periphery of film studies while highlighting the larger film environment of this dynamic period.<br>Committee in charge: Prof. Steven Brown, Chair; Dr. Daisuke Miyao, Advisor

Abstract:
In 2007, President Rafael Correa of Ecuador proposed the Yasuní ITT Initiative at the United Nations General Assembly in an effort to contribute to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions and the local preservation of biodiversity. The initiative proposed enacting an indefinite ban on oil exploration and extraction within the Ecuadorian Yasuní National Park so long as the developed world was willing to contribute to half the forgone costs of drilling. However, despite initial support, the Yasuní Initiative was unsuccessful, and due to a lack of financial support, Correa terminated the proposal in August 2013. With the increasing threat of climate change, the recent Paris Agreement highlights the need for bold actions such as those proposed by the Yasuní Initiative—which represents a solution that the global community needs. This paper looks at the history of the Yasuní Initiative from its inception to ultimate termination, as a developing country’s efforts to take part in the broader discussion of global warming and climate change. The Yasuní Initiative is examined within the context of Ecuador’s relation to oil, the country’s position as a steward of primary forest habitat that acts as a major carbon sink with rich biological and cultural diversity, in addition to the effect that the oil industry has had on the country with close attention to the Amazon region.

Abstract:
Memoria (magíster en derecho internacional, inversión, comercio y arbitraje internacional)<br>Climate change is a reality and its adverse effects are already evident. Today, it is undeniable that temperature is rising, glaciers are melting, precipitation patterns are changing, producing heavy rains and floods in some regions; and droughts and desertification in others. As a result of these alterations in the climate, natural ecosystems and human life are being affected. Awareness with regard to the negative consequences of climate changes, the international community has established specific environmental policies and concluded international agreements so as to mitigate and avoid the occurrence of these outcomes. In this respect, the most important instruments addressing this issue are United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol, which aim at limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from Member States through the establishment of emission reduction targets, based on the principle of common but differentiated responsibilities. The Kyoto Protocol also created three mechanisms: The Emission Trading System (ETS), the Joint Implementation (JI) and the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM). The first two mechanisms can be used exclusively by industrialized countries to meet their binding reduction requirements. While the CDM is the only tool for coping with climate change that allows the participation of developing and least developed countries in environmental mitigation activities. This fact is considered a limitation of the current climate regime since these countries are more vulnerable to dangerous impacts of climate change due to their economies depend greatly on the exploitation of natural resources and they have limited or no financial and technological capacity to respond effectively to this challenge.

Abstract:
Adaptive co-management (ACM), one of the most prominent management approaches to emerge in the recent years, combines iterative learning, flexibility, and adaptation promoted by adaptive management with the principles of nurturing diversity and fostering collaboration among different partners that underpin co-management philosophy. ACM has been proposed as an approach to address the deficiencies of centralized management in ensuring sustainability of social-ecological systems (SESs) in face of future uncertainties. This thesis aims to evaluate the readiness of resource users (the Waodani) as well as external actors (the Ecuadorian State and NGOs) for future implementation of ACM and thus enhancing the long-term social-ecological sustainability of the Waodani SES located in the Yasuni Biosphere Reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon. Qualitative data obtained by means of focus groups with the Waodani and individual interviews with external actors and Waodani leaders revealed different levels of readiness for ACM. Firstly, in the case of the Waodani, the insufficient fulfillment of some conditions required for successful ACM as well as intercommunity differences in regards to these conditions can complicate the implementation of ACM, unless sufficient external assistance is offered to the SES. The analysis of NGOs demonstrated, on the other hand, a relative readiness for ACM, providing that such aspects as sufficient funding, long-term commitment to collaboration, and inter-institutional linkages are strengthened. The study also found that the Ecuadorian government’s potential to contribute to ACM is hindered by the lack of readiness to work with the indigenous society as well as by funding and communication challenges. Furthermore, the resource based economy supported by the State limits the scope of innovation and adaptation. Still, as in the case of other actors, overcoming the challenges and transitioning towards adaptive governance and thus ACM could be possible in the long-term, if recent legal and political changes are truly implemented.

Abstract:
L'objectif de cette thèse est d'analyser les conflits et les résistances provoqués par l'expansion de la frontière pétrolière sur le territoire des peuples Kichwa, des Waorani et des groupes d'isolement, les Tagaeri et les Taromenane du parc national Yasuní (nord-est de l'Amazonie équatorienne). Depuis 2008, ces peuples sont confrontés à une situation paradoxale. D'une part, l'inscription dans la Constitution équatorienne (2008) des droits des peuples autochtones, des droits de la Nature ainsi que du Sumak Kawsay ou Buen Vivir, concrétise les revendications autochtones des années 90 pour la défense de leurs identités et leurs territoires; d’autre part, dans le cadre du modèle de développement extractiviste, l’État équatorien multiplie les politiques favorables à l’exploitation pétrolière, annulant les avancées constitutionnelles et donnant lieu à la réactivation de nombreux conflits socio-environnementaux. Depuis 40 ans, la mise en œuvre de divers projets pétroliers a radicalement transformé les conditions de vie des Kichwa et des Waorani de Yasuní. Cependant, ces projets n’ont pas été dépourvus de réactions et de résistances de la part des communautés qui, faisant appel à la mémoire historique et aux traumatismes causés par l’extractivisme, ont réussi à faire entendre leur voix et à négocier les termes et conditions de l’exploitation pétrolière, en créant par là même, des espaces de participation et d’expression de leurs opinions. Cette thèse montrera comment aujourd’hui les Kichwa et les Waorani du Yasuní ressentent et pensent le territoire, l'identité, le développement et comment, à travers l'appropriation d'éléments du discours écologiste et des droits qui les concernent, ils redéfinissent leurs notions de Buen Vivir et ses formes d’organisation collective et communautaire pour faire face à l’extractivisme<br>The objective of this thesis is to analyze the conflicts and resistances caused by the expansion of the oil frontier in the territory of the Kichwa, Waorani peoples and the Tagaeri and Taromenane isolation groups of the Yasuní National Park (northeast of the Ecuadorian Amazon).

On the one hand, the inscription in the Ecuadorian Constitution (2008), of the rights of the Indigenous Peoples, of the rights of the Nature as well as of the Sumak Kawsay or Buen Vivir, materializes the indigenous demands of the 90s for the defense of their identities and their territories; On the other hand, within the framework of the extractivist development model, the Ecuadorian State multiplies the policies favorable to oil exploitation, annulling the constitutional advances and giving rise to the reactivation of numerous socio-environmental conflicts. For 40 years, the implementation of different oil projects has drastically transformed the living conditions of the Kichwa and the Waorani of Yasuní. However, these projects have not been exempted from responses and resistances from the communities, who, resorting to historical memory and the traumas caused by extractivism, have managed to raise their voice and negotiate the terms and conditions of oil exploitation, creating at the same time spaces of participation and expression of their opinions. This thesis will show how the Kichwa and the Waorani of the Yasuní feel and think today the territory, the identity, the development and how, through the appropriation of elements of the environmental discourse and the rights that concern them, they redefine their notions of Buen Vivir and its collective and community forms of organization to deal with extractivism

In March 1942, Yasui brought the first constitutional challenge to the curfew imposed upon Japanese Americans. The curfew was the first step in the restriction and internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry, citizens and non-citizens alike. He believed that as a citizen and a lawyer it was his responsibility to oppose, and test, order which distinguished citizens solely on the basis of ancestry.

Dance<br>Ph.D.<br>ABSTRACT This study investigates performer training in ankoku buto dance, focusing specifically on the methods of Japanese avant-garde artist Hijikata Tatsumi, who is considered the co-founder and intellectual force behind this form. The goal of this study is to articulate the buto dancers preparation and practice under his direction. Clarifying Hijikata's embodied philosophy offers valuable scholarship to the ongoing buto studies dialogue, and further, will be useful in applying buto methods to other modes of performer training. Ultimately, my plan is to use the findings of this study in combination with research in other body-based performance training techniques to articulate the pathway by which a performer becomes empty, or nothing, and what that state makes possible in performance. In an effort to investigate the historically-situated and culturally-specific perspective of the body that informed the development of ankoku buto dance, I am employing frameworks provided by Japanese scholars who figure prominently in the zeitgeist of 1950s and 1960s Japan. Among them are Nishida Kitaro, founder of the Kyoto School, noted for introducing and developing phenomenology in Japan, and Yuasa Yasuo, noted particularly for his study of ki energy. Both thinkers address the body from an experiential perspective, and explore the development of consciousness through bodily sensation. My research draws from personal interviews I conducted with Hijikatas dancers, as well as essays, performance videos and films, and Hijikata's choreographic notebooks. I also track my own embodied understanding of buto, through practicing with these various teachers and using buto methods to teach and create performance work.<br>Temple University--Theses

Abstract:
El Yasuní, és l'àrea protegida més gran de l'Equador continental i una de les zones de major diversitat genètica del planeta. A més, és la llar de diversos pobles indígenes, entre ells pobles en aïllament voluntari. Així mateix, és un espai sotmès a l'extracció petroliera ja que se situa en una zona estratègica per l'Equador en matèria energètica. L'Estat, en el seu afany de satisfer la necessitat energètica i sostenir les finances i l'economia nacional, promou l'aprofitament de recursos naturals no renovables com el petroli, la qual cosa ha implicat no solament degradacions ambientals en tot el país, sinó també afectacions directes als drets dels pobles indígenes, per la coincidència de zones mega diverses i territoris indígenes amb les instal•lacions petrolieres. En aquest context, el 2007 va sorgir la Iniciativa Yasuní-ITT, que buscava, entre altres objectius, respectar el territori de les comunitats indígenes que viuen al Yasuní abstenint-se d’explotar les reserves petrolieres del bloc ITT per temps indefinit. No obstant això, aquesta Iniciativa va finalitzar el 2013 al no complir-se amb els objectius econòmics previstos per tal què la seva execució fos viable. La present tesi explora la relació existent a l’Equador entre explotació petroliera i drets dels pobles indígenes, concretament al Yasuní i més específicament davant la decisió d'explotació del bloc ITT. Mitjançant l'estudi del marc jurídic nacional i internacional dels drets dels pobles indígenes es busca determinar la seva situació jurídica per així establir si l'explotació del ITT posa en risc la seva supervivència física i cultural o interfereix amb els seus drets, tals com el dret a la propietat, a la participació, a la consulta i els drets específics dels pobles en aïllament voluntari. A més de considerar de manera general les implicacions per a la resta dels equatorians.<br>El Yasuní es el área protegida más grande del Ecuador continental y una de las zonas de mayor diversidad genética del planeta.

Mediante el estudio del marco jurídico nacional e internacional de los derechos de los pueblos indígenas se busca determinar su situación jurídica para así establecer si la explotación del ITT pone en riesgo su supervivencia física y cultural o interfiere con sus derechos, tales como el derecho a la propiedad, a la participación, a la consulta y los derechos específicos de los pueblos en aislamiento voluntario. Además de considerar de manera general las implicaciones para el resto de los ecuatorianos también.<br>Yasuní is the largest protected area of continental Ecuador and one of the world’s greatest genetically diverse areas. It is also home to several indigenous peoples, including those in voluntary isolation. At the same time it is an area subject to oil extraction since it is located in a zone considered strategic for Ecuador’s energy sector. On its effort to meet its energy needs and sustaining its finances and the country’s economy, the State encourages the use of the non-renewable natural resources such as oil, situation that has led not only to environmental degradation all over the country but has also had effects on the rights of indigenous populations, as mega diverse areas and indigenous territories often coincide with oil extraction facilities. It is within this context that in 2007 the Yasuní-ITT Initiative was launched. Among others, one of the objectives of the Initiative was to respect the territories of the indigenous communities that inhabit the Yasuní by leaving the oil reserves in the ITT oil block underground indefinitely. Nevertheless, this Initiative was abandoned in 2013 after not meeting the established economic goals required for its implementation to be feasible. This thesis explores the relationship between oil exploitation and indigenous peoples’ rights in Ecuador, particularly in the Yasuní and more specifically in relation with the decision of exploiting the ITT oil block. By studying the international and national legal frameworks of the rights of indigenous peoples we intend to determine their legal status in order to establish whether the ITT exploitation jeopardizes their physical and cultural survival or interferes with their rights, such as property right, the right to participate, to be consulted and the specific rights of peoples in voluntary isolation. Plus, we will also take into account the general implications for the rest of the Ecuadorians.

A comprehensive post-cancellation history of the initiative and background information regarding key domestic and international actors and institutions is presented in the Literature Review. Documents identified from LexisNexis and Google searches are analyzed to identify seven narratives of the initiative’s failure, which provide a basis for the suggestion of lessons. Questions regarding supply-side climate policy opportunities and challenges are explored. The initiative’s political mismanagement, design omissions and insufficient domestic political efforts, and a lack of contribution incentives are identified as the key causes of failure. The author concludes that the initiative’s supply-side model of shared sacrifices has the potential to align developed and developing country needs in support of greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals while addressing the difficulties posed by an emergent political economy of developing world resource extractivism in Ecuador and elsewhere. Future research regarding supply-side climate policies is suggested.

Full text
Abstract:
La résurgence, définie comme le soulèvement du plancher des calderas postérieurement à leur effondrement, est largement répandue mais encore très mal comprise. L'objectif de cette thèse est l'étude pluridisciplinaire d'un dôme résurgent: le Yenkahe, au sein de la caldera de Siwi au Vanuatu. L'intérêt de ce dôme est multiple. D'une part, la résurgence est active, d'autre part, elle est très rapide donc elle est associée à des structures relativement préservées. Enfin le Yenkahe présente l'originalité d'être associé à un cône volcanique en éruption permanente depuis au moins plusieurs centaines d'années: le Yasur. Une première étude tectonique basée sur des observations de terrain, complétées par l'exploitation d'images satellites et de modèles numériques de terrain à basse résolution existants, a permis de mettre en évidence une histoire en deux temps (au moins) de la croissance du dôme résurgent. Une première phase de croissance verticale engendrant un graben longitudinal aurait été suivie par une seconde phase de déplacement vers l'est de la source de la déformation, occasionnant un soulèvement de la partie est du dôme par rapport à la partie ouest. Ces grands traits structuraux ont pu être raffinés, par la suite, par le calcul d'un modèle numérique de surface à haute résolution issu de la photogrammétrie. Outre le haut niveau de détails permettant une cartographie plus fine des failles, ce modèle a apporté la mise en évidence de nombreuses traces de déstabilisations sur les flancs du Yenkahe. Dans l'avenir, de telles déstabilisations pourraient engendrer des tsunamis atteignant des zones habitées en quelques minutes. Les caractéristiques de la source de déformation à long terme du Yenkahe, et d'autres dômes résurgents présentant une morphologie similaire, ont fait l'objet d'une étude en modélisation analogique (intrusion de silicone dans un mélange de sable-plâtre). Les résultats de cette étude montrent que la taille du graben engendré en surface par l'intrusion d'une source allongée dépend surtout de la profondeur de cette source. On tire de cette étude que l'intrusion associée au Yenkahe, supposée magmatique, serait située aux alentours d'un kilomètre sous la surface.Une seconde étude en modélisation numérique, basée sur un processus de poinçonnement dans un milieu élastoplastique, met en avant une géométrie interne de dôme différente mais confirme l'ordre de grandeur obtenu pour la profondeur de source (1-2 km), rendant le résultat plus robuste. Cette source magmatique est peut-être connectée au Yasur, qui montre une activité de dégazage en conduit ouvert depuis plusieurs centaines d'années. Ceci qui impliquerait un mode de croissance incrémental gouverné par des événements de surpression transitoires (tels que des injections magmatiques). Enfin, un ensemble de méthodes géophysiques appliquées à l'étude de la caldera de Siwi (gravimétrie, mesures magnétiques et électriques, etc.) révèle que l'histoire post-effondrement de cette caldera comporte, outre la résurgence tectonique, des événements effusifs et la construction de plusieurs édifices volcaniques successifs. Ces méthodes mettent également en évidence la présence d'un système hydrothermal très étendu, particulièrement profond (plus de 300 m) et actif à l'est du dôme. L'altération hydrothermale associée pourrait favoriser des déstabilisations de l'édifice résurgent<br>Resurgence, defined as the post-collapse uplift of the caldera floor, is widespread phenomenon worldwide but it is still poorly understood. This work is a multidisciplinary study of a resurgent dome: the Yenkahe dome, located inside the Siwi caldera, in Vanuatu. The relevance of this dome is multiple: firstly, resurgence is currently active, secondly it is fast, so the associated structures are well-preserved, and lastly, the Yenkahe dome presents the originality to be associated with a volcanic cone which has been permanently active for at least several hundred years: the Yasur volcano. A primary tectonic study based on field observations, satellite images and available low-resolution digital elevation models brought the evidence of a two-stage (at least) dome growth history. The first stage is a vertical growth that produced the longitudinal graben on top of the dome. It was followed, in the second stage, by an eastward displacement of the deformation source, generating an uplift of the eastern dome relative to the western dome. The Yenkahe structural map was then refined through the computation of a high-resolution photogrammetric digital surface model (DSM). Besides the great number of details allowing precise fault mapping, this DSM highlights the presence of numerous destabilization scars associated with the evolution of the dome. In the future, similar destabilization events may produce tsunamis reaching inhabited areas in a couple of minutes. The characteristics of the long-term deformation source of the Yenkahe dome, and of other resurgent domes with a similar morphology, were investigated by analogue modeling (intrusion of silicone putty in a sand-plaster mixture). The results of the study show the width of the graben created by an elongated intrusion source mostly depends on the depth of this source. The source of the Yenkahe dome, presumably a magmatic intrusion, would be approximately one-kilometer deep. A second study, based on a punching process in a numerically modeled elastoplastic medium, shows a different internal structure for the dome. However, it confirms the order of magnitude obtained for the source depth (1-2 km), making this result more robust. The presumed magmatic source may be connected to the Yasurvolcano, exhibiting an open conduit activity for several hundred years, which would imply an incremental growth governed by transient over-pressurizing events at depth (such as magma injections). Lastly, a panel of geophysical methods were carried out within the caldera (magnetics, gravimetry, electrical methods, etc.). They revealed that the post-collapse history of Siwi involved, not only resurgence tectonics, but also the emplacement of lava fields and of several volcanic edifices. They also demonstrate the presence of an extended hydrothermal system, particularly deep (more than 300 m) and active on the eastern side of the dome. The associated extended alteration may favor the destabilization of the resurgent edifice

Full text
Abstract:
I studied the community of lianas in the Yasuní Forest Dynamics Plot (YFDP), in Amazonian Ecuador. I found that species diversity of lianas in valley habitat was higher than in ridge habitat, but liana abundance was similar. I also found that community structure (species composition and their abundances) of lianas in ridge was distinct from that in valley because of the differential distribution and abundance of certain species along the topographic gradient. In an attempt to explain this phenomenon deterministically, I took two approaches: (1) to explore if trait expression of leaf-based traits, wood specific gravity and stem growth rate was different among species with ridge habitat association, species with valley habitat association, and generalist species; and (2) to explore if frequencies of different whole-plant growth strategies in the forest understory—defined by whether a liana was free-standing or already climbing, by its climbing mechanism, and by its understory appearance—were different between ridge and valley. My underlying rationale was that if certain trait expression or understory growth strategy can be associated to a given species, or group of species, and such species also drive the community structure difference between ridge and valley, then ecological insight on the biological deterministic mechanisms driving the difference can be gained. I end this one-page dissertation abstract right here and purposely leave you, the reader, perplexed—I invite you to seek answers to the liana distribution conundrum in the YFDP by perusing this dissertation.

Abstract:
L’objectif de cette recherche est d’analyser et représenter la dette écologique, puis l’évaluer, dans le cadre du projet Yasuni en Equateur. A présent, il n’y a pas de consensus sur la formalisation d’une définition standard, dont il ressort la nécessité de délimiter la signification du concept de dette écologique, à l’aide d’une définition de travail. A cet égard, il nous semble adéquat de reprendre la proposition faite par Erik Paredis. Celle-ci permet de moduler sa portée en fonction de chaque cas étudié, ainsi que de considérer les débiteurs écologiques à une échelle spatiale ou temporelle.Le défi porte sur la possibilité de construire un cadre analytique adéquat à la problématique du projet Yasuni, en particulier quant à l’extraction de pétrole. Ainsi, nous nous concentrerons d'abord sur la caractérisation de la notion de dette écologique sous l'angle de la justice environnementale. Pour cela, il a été envisagé de reprendre les travaux menés par le projet EJOLT, puis de l'articuler dans le cadre du système monde, en concevant la dette écologique comme un processus cumulatif d'injustices environnementales.En ce qui concerne l'évaluation, cette recherche est fondée sur la méthode d'analyse multicritères, notamment celle proposée par REEDS et la plateforme Eplanete. On procède dans un premier temps à la représentation de la dette écologique dans le cadre du projet équatorien Yasuni, à l’aide d’un ensemble de théories, puis à son évaluation avec l'outil matrice de délibération proposant une liste d’indicateurs associés à chaque théorie, en tenant compte des critères et de la typologie des inégalités et des principes de la justice environnementale.De même, une analyse est faite des évaluations et des méthodes ainsi utilisées pour les comparer à la proposition du présent travail. Le processus de délibération semble conforter l’idée selon laquelle, dans le cas du projet Yasuni, des injustices environnementales sont générées, qui ne sont ni récompensées, ni restituées avec le temps, ce qui accroît la dette écologique qui en résulte<br>The objective of this research is to analyze and represent the ecological debt, and then to estimate it, within the framework of the project Yasuni in Ecuador. As there is currently is no consensus on the formalization of a standard definition, it highlights the necessity of bounding the meaning of the concept of ecological debt by using a working definition. In this respect, it seems appropriate to implement the proposal made by Erik Paredis. This allows to modulate its scope according to each case studied as well as to consider ecological debtors on a spatial or temporal scale.The challenge lies in the possibility of constructing an adequate analytical framework for the Yasuni project, particularly with regard to oil extraction. Thus, we will first focus on the characterization of the notion of ecological debt from the perspective of environmental justice. For that, consideration was given to building on the work carried out by the EJOLT project, then to articulating it within the framework of the world system, by conceiving the ecological debt as a cumulative process of environmental injustices. For that, we considered to take in account the work carried out by the EJOLT project, then to articulate it within the framework of the world system, by conceiving the ecological debt as a cumulative process of environmental injustices.As far as evaluation is concerned, this study is based on the multicriteria analysis method, especially that proposed by REEDS and the Eplanete platform. Firstly, we proceed to representation of the ecological debt in the context of the Ecuadorian Yasuni project, using a set of theories, and then evaluating it with the deliberation matrix tool which proposes a list of indicators associated with each theory, taking into account the criteria and the typology of inequalities and principles of environmental justice.Similarly, an analysis is made of the evaluations and methods thus used to compare them with the proposal in this study. The deliberation process seems to support the idea that, in the case of the Yasuni project, environmental injustices are generated, that are neither rewarded nor restored over time, thereby increasing the resulting ecological debt

Full text
Abstract:
The use and firing of clay to make art instead of vessels was a revolutionary concept in Japan when it first was introduced by Hayashi Yasuo in 1948 with Cloud, and expanded upon by Yagi Kazuo in 1954 with Mr. Samsa’s Walk. Although both avant-garde artists were major forces in the advancement of abstract, nonfunctional ceramics, Yagi is usually given sole credit and occupies a prominent place in the literature, while Hayashi’s name can scarcely be found, despite his numerous international awards, large body of work and career spanning seven decades. This thesis seeks to identify the factors that influenced the direction of their careers and the unbalanced reception of their work. It compares their backgrounds, personality traits, avant-garde affiliations, and positions on art and ceramics, in relation to the norms and prerequisites for success in Kyoto’s deeply stratified, convention-bound ceramic community. The pervasive practice of rating and society’s emphasis on affiliation and rank were significant forces in this situation, as were issues that divided Japan’s art world -- the separation and unequal ranking of fine art and traditional craft, or the value of individual expression versus technique and tradition. Ultimately, this study reveals an insular world during a decade (1946–56) of crisis and transition that is rarely studied in the West from the perspective of ceramic art.

Aquesta investigació analitza la interacció entre el desenvolupament, la identitat ètnica i l'ambientalisme i com aquesta ha influït en el procés d'incorporació de la conca baixa del riu Curaray (Amazònia equatoriana) a l'Estat equatorià. Es tracta d'una zona molt dinàmica que va quedar deshabitada a partir de mitjans del segle XX i va ser després objecte de projectes de recolonització per la seva importància geoestratègica i econòmica.

This was a very dynamic area that remained uninhabited since the mid-XXth century and was then the subject of projects of recolonization due to its geostrategic and economic importance. The most relevant projects were, first, the one of the State linked to development policies between the 70’s and 80’s, whose failure allowed, later, the involvement of indigenous elites that obtained big economic resources from international cooperation, using an ethnic and environmental discourse. So, it was possible to build a network of five small communities and they got legal recognition in 2007 and territorial legalization in 2010. From ethnography and ethnohistory, the thesis focuses on the analysis of economic, social and political changes in the region through the influence of ethnic, environmental and developmental discourses.

Visando uma intersecção entre a literatura do Confronto Político com os conflitos ambientais, objetiva-se contribuir para o conhecimento sobre o processo de contestação dos afetados pela indústria do petróleo e gás na América Latina. Para tanto, a pesquisa está desenhada de forma a compreender não estritamente os aspectos locais, mas as intermediações entre o local e o global, tendo em vista os fluxos reivindicativos de atores reunidos em torno do enquadramento afetados pela indústria do petróleo e gás que têm atravessado países latinoamericanos em verdadeiras redes de ativismo ambiental. Nesse sentido, buscamos compreender de que forma a contestação local é alçada para arenas internacionais, gerando um processo transnacional de confronto. A explicação se fundamenta na análise empírica da construção da Campanha Nem um poço a mais no estado do Espírito Santo, que envolveu diversas idas à campo acompanhando suas performances de confronto, a fim de verificar a ocorrência da ativação de certos mecanismos. Compreendemos que diferentes valorações e práticas estão envolvidas no processo de mobilização e o ator intermediário, ou broker, possui uma grande capacidade de vincular as demandas locais com enquadramentos mais gerais que possuam projeção global, assim colaborando na construção de significados e resoluções de necessidades, de direitos, num sentido emancipatório, em suma, de alternativas societárias. Por fim, nossas conclusões são de que as lutas em questão colocam um elemento não considerado na agenda do Confronto Político, qual seja, apresentam confrontos que são de natureza ontológica, onde mundos distintos estão em disputa.

Abstract:
Cette étude porte sur la revue Kôga, une publication photographique mensuelle japonaise lancée en 1932, et sur ses photographes fondateurs Nojima Yasuzô, Nakayama Iwata et Kimura Ihee, rejoints par le critique Ina Nobuo à partir du deuxième numéro. Fondée afin de rivaliser avec les revues étrangères, telles que Photographie en France, Das Deutsche Lichtbild en Allemagne et Studio Annual of Camera Art en Angleterre, elle est aujourd’hui un atout majeur pour comprendre la photographie japonaise moderne du début des années trente. Et ce, malgré sa courte existence. Le premier chapitre questionne la notion de « modernité » dans le cadre du Japon. Le deuxième chapitre analyse le numéro d’inauguration de la revue en soulignant ses caractéristiques propres, au regard du contexte moderne japonais. Enfin, le troisième chapitre traite individuellement les travaux de Nojima Yasuzô, Nakayama Iwata, Kimura Ihee et Ina Nobuo. Ceux-ci permettent de faire valoir les différentes orientations respectives présentées dans la revue Kôga, qui sont représentatives de la scène photographique japonaise à un moment charnière. Ils permettent également de mettre en évidence la notion de passage : entre la Photographie d’Art (geijutsu shashin) et la Nouvelle Photographie (shinkô shashin) ; Entre la Nouvelle Photographie (shinkô shashin) et la photographie de reportage (hôdô shashin) et la Photographie d’Avant-garde (zen’ei shashin) ; Entre les différentes disciplines culturelles et artistiques ; Entre le domaine artistique et le domaine professionnel ; Entre l’œuvre d’art unique et la reproductibilité ; Ou encore, entre l’art et la société<br>This work examines the Kôga review, a monthly Japanese photography magazine that was created in 1932 by photographers Nojima Yasuzô, Nakayama Iwata, and Kimura Ihee, with critic Ina Nobuo joining the review from the second issue. Founded to emulate Western magazines such as the French Photographie, the German Das Deutsche Lichtbild and the British Studio Annual of Camera Art, today Kôga, despite its short existence, is a major asset in understanding modern Japanese photography of the early 1930’s.The first chapter defines “modernity” within the framework of Japanese culture and history. The second chapter analyzes the opening issue of Kôga and emphasizes the specific characteristics that embody modern Japan’s photography reviews. Finally, the third chapter discusses the works of Nojima Yasuzô, Nakayama Iwata, Kimura Ihee and Ina Nobuo. This chapter also details the various orientations of photography that appear in the Kôga review and explains how they represent Japan’s photographic scene at a transitional period. Developed throughout the chapter is the concept of transition between: Art Photography (geijutsu shashin) and New Photography (shinkô shashin); New Photography (shinkô shashin) and reportage photography (hôdô shashin) and Avant-garde Photography (zen’ei shashin); art and society; artistic and professional fields; the unique master piece and reproducibility; and in between the various cultural and artistic disciplines

Full text
Abstract:
Yasur is an active scoria cone volcano in the Siwi Caldera on the island of Tanna, Vanuatu, in the South Pacific. This volcano has been erupting continuously for the last 800 years and is the latest manifestation of episodic volcanic activity in this area dating back to the late Pliocene. Yasur eruptions consist of intermittent Strombolian-style explosions of pyroclastic debris with emissions of volatiles such as SO₂, HCl and HF. Other than CO2 and H2O, the most abundant gas emitted from Yasur is sulfur, and plume monitoring has confirmed the volcano as one of the largest point sources of sulfur on the planet with an average flux of 600-1400 tons/day. Fluorine poses a chronic environmental health risk on Tanna, so understanding long-term exposure rates as well as periodic increases in volcanic intensity will help to better quantify its risk. In this study we gauge compositional variation of magma using fresh pyroclastic bombs collected over a 3-month period from August to November, 2016. Our results suggest long-term broad compositional stability in both the whole-rock and groundmass glass and minerals. Our results show slight variation in volatile phases in both olivine-hosted melt inclusions and groundmass glass over an intensively sampled 3-month period, which suggests that the plumbing beneath Yasur harbors an open-system degassing environment. Volcanic eruptions are usually driven by magma mixing, however, our results show no compositional variation in phenocrysts. We show that Yasur is an excellent example of an inefficiently degassed volcano, and that volcanic activity is controlled by volatile flux. We also use cotectic compositional data to calculate pressure and temperature conditions within the magma chamber and assess fluxes of volatiles from the magma using melt inclusion analyses for S and Cl. Our study places new bounds on the vertical extent of the magma chamber and suggests differentiation from a basaltic trachyandesite at depths of up to 12 km.

Abstract:
Le Yasur est un petit stratovolcan situé au coeur d'une grande caldeira, dans la partie sud-est de l'Ile de Tanna (Sud Vanuatu). Le cratère sommital est occupé par trois évents : les évents A et B dans le sous-cratère sud et l'évent C dans le sous-cratère nord. L'activité du Yasur est caractérisée par des explosions de bulles de gaz et l'émission de petits panaches de cendres. Afin de mieux comprendre les processus volcaniques qui se produisent au sein de l'édifice, un large réseau de capteurs, comprenant 12 antennes sismiques et 10 stations large-bande, a été déployé autour du Yasur en 2008, enregistrant le signal sismique en continu. Le modèle de vitesse de la structure superficielle du volcan ainsi que de la caldeira de Siwi a été estimé jusqu'à 200 m de profondeur en utilisant les méthodes SPAC et f-k - deux techniques d'analyse du bruit ambiant inclues dans le logiciel Geospy - sur les signaux enregistrés par sept antennes. Quatre zones principales ont été distinguées et interprétées en terme de couches géologiques et de répartition des fluides (aquifère, système hydrothermal) dans la structure volcanique. Le modèle de vitesse a ensuite été intégré dans un algorithme de tracé de rai et combiné à une méthode de triangulation sismique pour localiser la source des explosions et des événements longue période. Les localisations ont permis de suivre l'évolution de l'activité en 2008 dans les différents évents, et de proposer deux modèles de dynamique éruptive pour expliquer la périodicité des explosions stromboliennes et l'intense activité observée au Yasur. Les localisations ont également permis l'estimation de la vitesse d'ascension des poches de gaz ainsi qu'une estimation de la géométrie du conduit volcanique.

Abstract:
Espaces emblématiques des dynamiques complexes entre l’homme et l’écosystème dans des aires protégées abritant des ressources naturelles commune, les îles Galápagos et le Yasuní en Équateur partagent une histoire de dégradation environnementale, conflits socio-environnementaux et chaos territorial. La présence de biens communs, source d’une rente économique liée à la biodiversité et aux hydrocarbures (Yasuní) attire depuis un demi-siècle les intérêts des industriels du pétrole et du tourisme qui ont systématiquement exercé un poids déterminant sur les décisions en matière d’aménagement et de gestion de ces espaces, influant également sur leur gouvernance. Cette réalité joue à l’encontre de politiques d’aménagement territorial pour les deux espaces, Réserves de la Biosphère de l’UNESCO, depuis des décennies. Les Galápagos et le Yasuní témoignent en même temps de la manière dont les gouvernements équatoriens ont eu recours à une « instrumentation » des politiques pour décider le sort des deux aires protégées. Cette thèse montre comment un problème structurel – l’absence d’une politique d’aménagement territorial – a facilité la mobilisation d’instruments de politique pour administrer les deux réserves naturelles. L’histoire du Yasuní est un exemple éloquent de cette pratique d’instrumentation de politiques. La création du parc en 1979, puis les modifications de ses limites et le découpage de la Réserve de la Biosphère Yasuní, dont le parc est le noyau, ont été tous réalisés par des instruments de politiques. De même, aux Galápagos la puissance publique a opéré ses choix en matière d’accès aux espaces protégés et d’utilisation de leurs ressources, en privilégiant les instruments de politique. La loi spéciale des Galápagos (LOREG) a de facto gouverné l’archipel depuis son entrée en vigueur en 1998. Dans les deux cas, l’absence d’une politique d’aménagement territorial a permis l’adoption de décisions top-down sur l’administration des deux espaces.La «révolution citoyenne» du président Correa, en dépit d’une profonde refonte institutionnelle et d’un nouveau paradigme de développement – le Buen Vivir, ou Sumak Kawsay – ne saura changer la manière d’aménager les espaces des deux aires protégées. La planification est élevée à politique d’État qui prime sur toute autre politique, mais dans cette vision l’aménagement du territoire devient un instrument au service de la planification étatique.Ce travail, conduit dans une perspective interdisciplinaire en utilisant une grille de lecture encore peu explorée (les instruments de politique publique) veut aussi contribuer à de nouvelles pistes de réflexion sur l’action publique en matière d’aménagement du territoire ainsi que sur la gouvernance d’aires protégées riches en ressources naturelles communes<br>Archetypes of the complex interactions between humans and ecosystems in protected areas rich in Common Pool Resources (CPR), the Galapagos Islands and the Yasuní in Ecuador share a history of environment degradation, socio-environmental conflicts and chaotic land development. The abundance of CPR, source of a lucrative rent from biodiversity and crude (in the Yasuní case) have attracted the interests of oil and tourism businesses over the last fifty years. These industries have consistently steered public decisions over the creation, spatial organisation and administration of these natural reserves, additionally affecting their governance, a reality which has hindered the implementation of land-use planning policies for these areas which are two UNESCO MAB Reserves. The Galapagos and Yasuní protected areas are also a powerful example of the peculiar way whereby Ecuador governments over the last five decades have “instrumented” policy making, preferring the use of policy tools to public policies to decide on the two areas’ fate. This thesis shows how a structural problem such as the absence of a land use planning policy, has thrust the practice of policy tools adoption, instead of policy making, to manage the two protected areas. The “revolución ciudadana” led by president Correa succeeded in re-founding State institutions and launching a new development paradigm (Sumak Kawsay or Buen Vivir) however, it did not advance on land-use management related issues particularly regarding the two areas. Correa has placed national planning at the heart of public policy making it the state policy – backed by a powerful bureaucratic structure – but in this process, land use planning is considered as an instrument in support of national planning. This research, carried out under an interdisciplinary perspective, using policy tools as analytical key, wishes to contribute new insights and methods of analysis on public land use planning and management, as well as governance of common pool resources in protected areas

Abstract:
Attualmente più di quaranta pellicole giapponesi e straniere sono state prodotte ispirandosi a una delle opere dello scrittore giapponese Tanizaki Jun’ichirō (1886-1965). Il presente lavoro intende analizzane un romanzo in particolare, “Manji” (pubblicato in italiano come “La croce buddista”, traduzione di Lydia Origlia) e due trasposizioni cinematografiche: la prima è il libero adattamento del 1985 della regista italiana Liliana Cavani (1933-) “Interno Berlinese”; la seconda è l’omonimo film del 1964, “Manji”, del noto regista giapponese Masumura Yasuzō (1924-1986). Lo scopo è di paragonare i due lungometraggi all’opera originale per evidenziarne i tratti in comune e le differenze, in modo particolare le modalità attraverso cui due registi provenienti da culture diverse hanno saputo trasporre a modo proprio la stessa storia. Il lavoro si suddividerà in quattro fasi. La prima prevede l’analisi dell’opera letteraria in tutte le sue sfaccettature. La seconda sarà dedicata al rapporto tra letteratura e cinema, alla relazione che legava lo stesso Tanizaki alla settima arte e al cosiddetto concetto di “fedeltà” di un film al libro da cui trae ispirazione. Il terzo e quarto capitolo, infine, saranno dedicati rispettivamente all’analisi dei due film sopra citati. Lo scopo di questo lavoro non è di esaltare una trasposizione rispetto all’altra, né di elevare la letteratura ad arte superiore rispetto al cinema e viceversa. L’idea è di presentare la stessa storia, narrata non solo attraverso due mezzi comunicativi molto diversi tra loro, il romanzo e il film, ma anche da punti di vista differenti e lontani a livello geografico, culturale, temporale e storico.

Abstract:
La relation entre la biodiversité et le fonctionnement des écosystèmes est devenue une question centrale dans la recherche en écologie au cours des 20 dernières années. Diverses études ont montré que la réduction de la diversité génétique, taxonomique et de groupes fonctionnels réduit l’efficacité des communautés à capturer les ressources essentielles (aliments, eau, lumière, proies) et leur conversion en biomasse. Les effets positifs de la biodiversité semblent être remarquablement cohérents entre différents groupes d’organismes, niveaux trophiques, et écosystèmes étudiés. Une telle cohérence suggère qu’il existe des principes généraux contrôlant la façon dont l’organisation des communautés influence le fonctionnement des écosystèmes. Les preuves empiriques de cette relation ‘biodiversité-fonctionnement des écosystèmes’ (B-EF) se sont très généralement basées sur des organismes à croissance rapide comme espèces végétales des prairies ou des expérimentations contrôlées en laboratoire, dans des microcosmes ou mésocosmes. Pour élargir les connaissances actuelles des effets de la biodiversité sur le fonctionnement des écosystèmes, des expériences en milieu naturel dans des écosystèmes plus complexes et diversifiés tels que les forêts tropicales sont nécessaires. Cela est d’autant plus important que l’on considère que, par rapport aux espèces de latitudes plus hautes, les organismes tropicaux sont particulièrement vulnérables au changement climatique en raison de leurs tolérances physiologiques étroites. La relation B-EF prendrait plus d’importance si les approches futures considereraient les connexions potentielles above- belowground. Ceci, du à que les écosystèmes terrestres se composent de deux sous-systèmes, un de surface (aboveground) et un souterrain (belowground), dont les rétro-alimentations entre les deux compartiments jouent un rôle déterminant dans la régulation de la structure des communautés et le fonctionnement des écosystèmes. Dans le sous-système de surface, l’herbivorie est un processus clé à la base de la diversification et la maintenance des communautés de plantes, notamment à travers l’évolution de stratégies de défense contre les herbivores. . .

Abstract:
L’Amazzonia ecuadoriana è un territorio storicamente conteso. Sin dalle prime esplorazioni ai tempi del colonialismo, l’approccio con cui gli attori esterni di relazionano al “continente verde” segue le logiche della conquista. Conquista delle popolazioni, dello spazio, della cultura e della natura. Tali dinamiche si ripropongono ciclicamente: con il caucciù, con le haciendas e, infine, con il petrolio. Questo testo analizza le dinamiche secondo cui lo Stato, dalle prime estrazioni petrolifere ad oggi, gestisce le risorse naturali del sottosuolo amazzonico e la logica secondo la quale si relaziona e concepisce la natura e la cultura indigene. L’obiettivo è quello di mettere a confronto le cosmografie statale e indigena. La prima è rispecchia una logica extractivista per cui lo Stato percepisce l’Amazzonia come un pozzo di risorse infinite da saccheggiare. La seconda, invece, è espressione di un’economia sostantivista, di sussistenza, e si basa su una concezione ecologica del rapporto tra uomo e natura. Verrà poi preso in analisi un modello di sviluppo alternativo nel quale convergano aspetti di entrambe le cosmografie. Ciò che si propone è la possibilità di far partecipare le comunità indigene al processo di sviluppo economico che coinvolge la regione uscendo dalla logica del petrolio e potendo, invece, promuovere le pratiche tradizionali e mantenere intatto il loro rapporto con la natura.

Abstract:
La réponse biologique d'un matériau est essentiellement reliée à sa surface : cela souligne l'importance du rôle des techniques de modification de surface dans la réalisation d'une réponse biologique adaptée. Ainsi les surfaces fonctionnalisées par des 'hydrogels' minces possèdent un énorme potentiel dans diverses applications. En effet, les hydrogels sensibles au pH et à la température peuvent être utilisés dans le but de libérer de façon contrôlée une molécule dans l'environnement biologique. Ces hydrogels peuvent aussi être utilisés en tant que biocapteur de par leurs fonctions disponibles permettant la reconnaissance spécifique de biomolécules cibles. Différents procédés, choisis principalement en fonction du type de matériau et de la surface à fonctionnaliser, peuvent être utilisés pour l'obtention de ce genre de films. Parmi ces procédés, le choix s'est tourné vers l'utilisation de la polymérisation par plasma dont les propriétés de surfaces peuvent être ajustées en fonction des paramètres de la décharge tel que la puissance électrique, le temps de traitement, la composition et la pression du gaz.

Abstract:
L'etude de la sismicite de l'etna, du stromboli et du yasur, nous a permis d'identifier les caracteristiques des signaux sismiques et leurs relations avec l'activite volcanique ainsi que leur evolution pendant une phase eruptive (etna, septembre-octobre 1989). L'analyse spectrale et temporelle des signaux sismiques volcaniques discrets (ssvd), enregistres sur chaque volcan, nous a permis de distinguer differents types dont la forme repetitive est caracterisee par un contenu spectral stable. Les frequences dominantes et subdominantes qui caracterisent le bruit de fond sismique volcanique (bdfsv) observe sur chaque volcan, s'individualisent dans les spectres des ssvd et des tremors volcaniques (tv). Sur les trois volcans, les ssvd presentent les memes frequences dominantes 1. 3, 2. 3, 3. 2 et entre 3 et 6 hz. Ces similitudes entre le bdfsv, les ssvd et les tv montrent qu'ils sont generes au niveau d'une meme source volcanique par un mecanisme lie au degazage magmatique. La detonation des poches de gaz dans les crateres est souvent precedee (2 a 20s) par un ssvd precurseur. Ce dernier apparait lie a l'expansion brutale des poches de gaz (par coalescence) a differents niveaux de la colonne magmatique. L'eruption de l'etna en septembre 1989 etait precedee par une chute brutale de l'energie du bdfsv et une accentuation de la frequence 1. 4 hz jusqu'a son individualisation dans un type de ssvd. L'apparition en essaim de ces derniers etait suivie par une migration des foyers des signaux sismiques volcano-tectoniques (ssvt) autour d'une chambre magmatique superficielle et une diminution des valeurs moyennes du facteur de qualite (q). Ces changements significatifs, intervenus au mois d'aout, sont dus a l'apport magmatique qui a abouti a l'eruption. Le debut de l'eruption sommitale (11 septembre) etait marque par l'apparition de tv discontinus domines par le pic 1. 4 hz. L'eruption laterale (27 septembre) etait caracterisee par l'apparition de tv continus et de ssvd de haute energie

Full text
Abstract:
Yasunao Tone, Carsten Nicolai and Ryoji Ikeda are three practitioners representative of electronic music and sound-art practices that emerged in the 1990s where sound materials not normally considered musical, such as digital clicks, glitches and bursts of white noise, are prevalent. It is notable that the origins of this body of work lay outside of the established music institutions of academia and the mainstream popular music industry. Practitioners such as these are often associated with particular record labels including Mille Plateaux or Raster-Noton and attempts to coalesce these practices into a single, unified genre have been made by Cascone (2000), Sangild (2004) and Kelly (2009). These assessments however, tend to critique work mainly in technological terms. In contrast, this thesis draws out deeper philosophical concerns relevant to these practices through a critical analysis of materials produced by and about these practitioners, including commercial releases, works, writings and interviews. What emerges from this is that Heidegger's notion of truth as `revealing' and Derrida's critique of phonocentrism can provide a clearer philosophical framework for a consideration of this work. This framework, by extension could be used to critique other sound art or music practices. Moreover, ideas found in Attali's (1985) telling of economic history through music are applied to these practices in order to argue that the use of "noise" materials reflects a wider cultural shift away from the notion of "value" as something quantified, abstract and intrinsic, predominant since the Age of Enlightenment, towards one concerned with the qualitative, contextual and extrinsic. This is related to Kim-Cohen's (2009) advocacy of a conceptual sound art to argue that noise practices represent forms of practice that challenge both notions of "absolute" music - music primarily understood 'as a numerical sign system' (Kim-Cohen 2009: 40) - and prevailing political-economic structures.

Full text
Abstract:
Substantial hunting pressure and habitat destruction caused by oil extraction has critically endangered the Amazonian manatee in Ecuador. The current population status is unknown because an effective method to observe them in the wild has yet to be developed. This study explored whether the Amazonian manatee persists or has been extirpated in the eastern Ecuadorian Amazon utilizing side-scan sonar to increase odds of detection. Spatial differences in probability of detection were quantified if manatees were observed. The level of chemical contamination was determined and compared spatially and temporally against historical data. Data were collected using opportunistic transect surveys and grab sampling of surface water in Yasuni National Park, Lagartococha, and Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve. Surveys confirmed that the manatee population is extant. Manatees were encountered more often in Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve than in Lagartococha and Yasuni. Side-scan sonar detected more manatees than previously reported in 1996-1999. Side-scan sonar is a viable method for detection of manatees in the Ecuadorian Amazon system and resulted in greater detection as a function of effort. All future population studies should incorporate side-scan sonar. Lead, arsenic, mercury, polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons [PAHs], and volatile organic compounds [VOCs] were not detected in the waters of the study region. High total petroleum hydrocarbon [TPH] levels were measured in 7 samples from Yasuni National Park. The concentrations of TPH were higher in Yasuni National Park than in Lagartococha and Cuyabeno. TPHs were detected only in the study region with a recent oil spill; there was no evidence that TPHs were higher near oil production wells and pipelines. The concentrations of TPH were significantly different than those measured in 1998 (z =3.01710, p=0.0026). A dedicated study should be performed to develop a protocol for monitoring persistent oil contaminants in the Ecuadorian Amazon and determine their sink.

Full text
Abstract:
From the mid 20th century into the 21st, artists and musicians manipulated, cracked and broke audio media technologies to produce novel, unique and indeterminate sounds and performances. Artists such as John Cage, Nam June Paik, Milian Kn��k, Christian Marclay, Yasunao Tone, Oval and Otomo Yoshihide pulled apart the technologies of music playback, both the playback devices � phonographs and CD players � and the recorded media � vinyl records and Compact Discs. Based in the sound expansion of the 20th century musical avant garde, this practice connects the interdisciplinary Fluxus movement with late 20th century sound art and experimental electronic music. Cracked and broken media techniques play a significant role in 20th century music and sound, and continue to be productive into the 21st. The primary contribution of this thesis is to provide a novel and detailed historical account of these practices. In addition it considers theoretical approaches to this work. After considering approaches through critiques of recording media, and concepts of noise, this thesis proposes novel theorisations focusing on materiality and the everyday. Ultimately it proposes that these practices can be read as precursors to contemporary new media, as music and sound art cracked open the fixed structures of �old media� technologies for their own creative purposes.

Tesis para optar al grado de Magíster en Políticas Públicas<br>Este documento muestra los resultados de la aplicación de la metodología de transferencia de beneficios para estimar el Valor Económico Total (VET) de la Reserva Ecológica Yasuní- ITT en la amazonía ecuatoriana, en el marco teórico la Evaluación de los Ecosistemas del Milenio. Este trabajo constituye la segunda parte de una investigación conjunta, en la que para estimar en dólares de 2009 el Valor Económico Total de la Reserva, se realiza la transferencia de beneficios de los valores unitarios para cada bien y servicio ecosistémico que se obtuvieron de los estudios fuente presentados por Flores (2011) en la primera parte de este trabajo. Con ello, se calculo, bajo distintas tasas de descuento, el valor presente de un flujo de ingresos que tendría la reserva a 50 años. ¿Pero qué parte de estos beneficios es realmente apropiable por los Ecuatorianos? La respuesta a esta pregunta orientará la decisión de política pública acerca de explotar o no explotar la Reserva. Se estimó que los bienes y servicios ecosistémicos apropiables por lo ecuatorianos ascienden USD $ 721 millones de dólares de 2009 al año, lo que representa el 1.39% del PIB de ese año. Finalmente, se llevó a cabo un análisis de escenarios de los beneficios económicos de la explotación y no explotación de las reservas de petróleo donde se determinó que el valor de compensación que el gobierno ecuatoriano está solicitando a la comunidad internacional como compensación para no explotar las reservas de petróleo podría estar sobrestimado.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines key concepts from philosophers Nishida Kitaro, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Fredriche Nietzsche and applies them to elements of Michael Chekhov’s practice of acting. The three philosophers, in different ways, suggest an ‘optimal’ state, beyond a dualistic separation of the fictive from the real and the visible from the invisible, that challenges seemingly unbridgeable dualisms between inner and outer, subject and object, being and becoming and experiencer and experienced. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and understand these selected ‘optimal’ modes of consciousness in performance and, therefore, open up new ways of thinking about Michael Chekhov’s acting processes; in particular the ‘Psychological Gesture’. The thesis asks the following questions: 1. How can the application of selected philosophical paradigms to the Psychological Gesture through theory and practice further our understanding of Michael Chekhov’s work? 2. How do selected aspects of the fields of phenomenology, post-phenomenology, cognitive sciences, consciousness studies and philosophy of mind, aid in developing an articulation and understanding of an ‘optimal’ state of consciousness as a necessary aspect of the actor’s performance in Michael Chekhov’s work and theatre practice? 3. How can this project develop the way we are able to talk about Michael Chekhov’s work and wider acting processes?
