Full textAbstract:
How is it possible that we hear music or see paintings as expressive of affective states? How is it that this bizarre phenomenon extends to natural landscapes, atmospheres, and also to simple colours, sounds, shapes? This research aims at inquiring the phenomenon of expressiveness. In particular, it focuses on the expressiveness of inanimate objects.
What is especially intriguing about expressiveness is that it mobilizes a number of issues concerning the nature of perception and that of affective experiences. Questions about the possibility that affective states such as anxiety, melancholy, sadness, solemnity, liveliness are ascribed to non-sentient beings such as artworks, represent a challenge for theories of perception on the one hand, and for theories of emotions on the other hand. Moreover, most of these questions lay at the crossroads of aesthetics and the philosophy of mind, licking the domains of developmental psychology and cognitive sciences more generally. Main players are analytic philosophers of music and aesthetics that have been dealing with this problem in recent years. Yet, also accounts elaborated within different traditions – like phenomenology and Gestalt psychology – and tracing back in time are analysed.

Critchfield, Katherine. "Radical democracies : the politics of the aesthetic in the Southern Cone." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2017. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/269815.
Full textAbstract:
The transitions to democracy in Argentina and Chile have been critiqued by numerous artists and analysts alike, both because of the social and economic continuity from dictatorship to democracy, and because of the democratic states’ occlusion of the violence of the preceding dictatorships. Yet while this compromised democracy has been subject to numerous artistic critiques, this does not necessitate an aesthetic abandonment of democracy as an ideal, but rather a challenge to its consensual nature. This study identifies a specific set of texts – by the art collective CADA, by writers Pedro Lemebel and Néstor Perlongher, and by poets Juan Gelman and Raúl Zurita – and locates within them a desire to radicalise the democratisation processes that were only superficially carried out in the 1990s. And as this work describes, this is a uniquely aesthetic project. In its association of the aesthetic and the political domains, this work draws substantially on the theoretical work of Jacques Rancière. Yet the juxtapositions of the artworks with the theoretical perspective is aimed not only at elucidating the particular nature of the relationship between aesthetics and politics to be found in these works, but also at productively complicating or expanding upon certain aspects of Rancière’s theoretical framework. The artists and authors discussed here call for a new understanding of the aesthetic as an intrinsically political category, seeking at once to revolutionise both politics and aesthetics. The texts analysed as part of this work all appear at a time when the political aesthetic functions primarily according to a revelatory paradigm, as exemplified by the testimonial genre. At the same time, the category of the aesthetic is treated with scepticism in the light of the apparent ability of the marketplace to assimilate even the most radically oppositional text into its hegemonic narrative. The notions of both political and aesthetic dissensus, therefore, find themselves under threat at this particular historico-political juncture. In contrast, the texts I examine in this work undertake an aesthetic investment in alternative significatory sensibilities in order to counter political consensus. In other words, they locate the political in a different aesthetic sensorium: that of the human body, of emotions, and of the affective connections between subjects. In so doing, they move beyond the denunciatory text as the political aesthetic par excellence, pointing instead to aesthetic distributions that remain excessive, or that overspill any effort to order the sensus communis.

Full textAbstract:
Software systems form an essential part of Western society,serving as tools to uphold institutions, processes andservices. It is understandable, therefore, that the mostfundamental aspects of programs are their function and utility.But they are not, however, the only things programmers areconcerned with when writing them.
On the contrary, programmers also discuss about many otheraspects of software, including the beauty of code. Theydistinguish between different programming styles and expresstheir personal preferences, often by way of admiring andvilifying other people's code. Programmers' identification withaesthetic preferences may give rise to vanity, to disagreementsso entrenched that they deserve the name of 'holy wars' and toother similar phenomena.
This thesis describes and analyses these phenomena, whichultimately originate in the human faculty to create andappreciate nuances, to become attached to them and to engage indisputes because of them - even infields as standardised ascomputer programming. Its aim is to expose the aesthetics ofcode, and in doing so, to discuss the symbolic aspects ofinstrumental action at large.

Smith, Alexandra Bailey. "Writing Against the Image: Teju Cole, Ben Lerner, and Aesthetics of Failure." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/14483.
Full textAbstract:
Given the striking contemporary turn towards literary mediations of aesthetic experience, this project suggests the need for a concerted critical realignment in understanding literary form’s potential for artistic expansiveness. Focussing on writers Teju Cole and Ben Lerner, and in particular their debut novels Open City and Leaving the Atocha Station, this thesis seeks to explore their interrogations of this kind of experience as blueprints for direct aesthetic experience, experimenting with perceptual responses to art. It not only draws on concepts of the ‘virtual’ as that which opposes the ‘actual,’ but as a mapmaking strategy for proposing the ways in which the novel can offer new and insightful ways of attending to art. Indeed, I approach this concern as a reinterpretation and insurrection of the literary’s image, as a site of formal convention, the novel’s tendency towards realism, and as writers’ reinvestment in the conversation between literature and visual art. Where theories of the virtual mode have traditionally been conceptualised as opposed to the formally actual or possible, this study seeks to instead put forward a model of writing that is concerned with the mediation of aesthetic experience in and through literary language, and that makes new claims about the relationship literary prose has to other artistic forms. Engaging with sensory aesthetic experience – visual art, music, and literature – the works of both novelists not only refract and problematise direct artistic experience but also to provide a lyrical lens through which these experiences are compellingly interrogated. In doing so, they situate the novel as an absorptive form that offers significant implications for our practices of reading and critical judgment.

Full textAbstract:
Aesthetics of dysfunction: On Virtual Agglomerations and the Creative Errancies of Code; explores the implications of the ubiquitous status of code in our digital time. This thesis is the result of a four-year research undertaken through programming and software studio practice and theory to answer the question: How can the algorithmic medium of programming and software illustrate the role played by code and its dysfunctions in the shaping of the new universe of virtual agglomerations?
This enterprise is divided into three major components related respectively to the questioning of code as a medium, the techno-social context of computers as an artistic tool, and the power of software in conquering territories metaphorically and physically as a war engine.
In being a repository for accumulated experimentations with the Processing programming environment, algorithms, software, military aerial photography and mathematical functions; my studio practice explores the limits of software error to reflect the status quo imposed by machines as generators and regulators of the digital universe—lived and presented as virtual territories shaped by microprocessors, random access memory, speed and error.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)

A presente dissertação traz uma pesquisa acerca da moral evangélica que contempla o vestuário feminino como um importante elemento de distinção social. A partir da etnografia realizada em igrejas evangélicas na região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, procurei observar de que forma as subjetividades se manifestam nos discursos e como experiências religiosas e culturais operam nos distintos modos de vestir-se, performar-se e julgar o belo. Disso resulta que, entre o juízo de gosto e as práticas do vestir, há operações de agenciamento em que as mulheres investem na construção de uma identidade visual personalizada sem contrapor a moral evangélica, mas também evidenciando as múltiplas formas sobre como essas normas são incorporadas. Neste sentido, o diálogo entre os mecanismos de distinção e as relações entre performatividade e materialidade constroem uma ética corporal e comunal, contribuindo para o entendimento da regulação e inscrição desses corpos femininos, portadores de significados sociais.
The present work brings a research about the gospel morality, which includes women s clothing as an important element of social distinction. From the ethnography in evangelical churches in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, I tried watching how the subjectivities are manifested in speeches and how religious and cultural experiences operating in distinct ways of dress up perform and judge the beautiful. It follows that between the judgement of taste and practices of dressing there are agency operations where women invest in constructing a personalized visual identity without opposing the evangelical morality, but also showing the multiple ways on how these norms are incorporated. In this sense, the dialogue between distinction mechanisms and the relations between performativity and materiality build a corporal and communal ethics, contributing to the understanding of the regulation and registration of these female bodies carrying social meanings.

Full textAbstract:
With the unprecedented rise in the use of visuals, and its undeniable omnipresence in organizational contexts, as well as in the individual's everyday life, organization and management science has recently started to pay closer attention to the to date under-theorized "visual mode" of discourse and meaning construction. Building primarily on insights from the phenomenological tradition in organization theory and from social semiotics, this article sets out to consolidate previous scholarly efforts and to sketch a fertile future research agenda. After briefly exploring the workings of visuals, we introduce the methodological and theoretical "roots" of visual studies in a number of disciplines that have a long-standing tradition of incorporating the visual. We then continue by extensively reviewing work in the field of organization and management studies: More specifically, we present five distinct approaches to feature visuals in research designs and to include the visual dimension in scholarly inquiry. Subsequently, we outline, in some detail, promising avenues for future research, and close with a reflection on the impact of visualization on scientific practice itself. (authors' abstract)

Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender a vida e a obra de um grafiteiro. A partir do convívio com o artista Bruno Pastore, foi possível constituírmos um mundo de acontecimentos, imagens e palavras, que resultou na descoberta dos sentidos da arte quando integrada na vida. Trata-se de um mestrado em Psicologia Social, permeado pelo método fenomenológico de pesquisa, cuja principal característica é a suspensão das teorias préconcebidas e dos pressupostos, para que o pesquisador possa ir ao encontro do que se mostra a partir do ponto de vista de Bruno Pastore. Revelamos, em primeiro lugar, a trajetória de vida do artista, trazendo à tona acontecimentos importantes e denúncias diversas. Em seguida, elaboramos uma leitura de suas principais produções artísticas, entre elas grafites e poesias, integradas sempre no contexto de sua história de vida. Por último, apresentamos um ensaio filosófico baseado nas referências teóricas que esse estudo suscitou. O texto, assim como o grafite, se desenha na forma de um palimpsesto, pois é sustentado por referências que ligam os seus capítulos principais, que podem ser lidos independentemente, ou na ordem que mais aprouver o leitorThis work aims to understand in the light of phenomenology, life and work of a graffiti artist. From the meeting with the artist Bruno Pastore was possible for us to constitute a world of events, images and words, which resulted in the discovery of the meanings of art when built in life.This is a master\\\'s degree in Social Psychology, permeated by the phenomenological research method, in which the main feature is the suspension of preconceived theories and assumptions, so that the researcher can go back to what is shown from the point Bruno Pastore of view. Reveal, first, the trajectory of the artist\\\'s life, bringing up several key events and complaints. Then do a reading of his main artistic productions, including graffiti and poetry, always integrated with the context of his life story. Finally, we present a philosophical essay based on theoretical references that this study has raised. The text, as well as graphite, is drawn in the form of a palimpsest, because it is supported by references linking its main chapters, which can be read independently, or in the order that most pleases the reader

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est de comparer le rapport que deux cultures (Chine /France) entretiennent avec le plaisir gustatif, à travers l’histoire de leurs pratiques alimentaires, la philosophie qui les supporte et les représentations qui en sont données dans la littérature. Cette confrontation culturelle s’appuiera particulièrement sur les scènes de table présentes dans un roman chinois de la fin du XVIIIe siècle (Cao Xuequin) et plusieurs romans français du début du XIXe siècle (Balzac). L’approche comparatiste nous permet d’envisager notre objet à travers un cadre conceptuel commun (« le vide et le plein ») et de voir comment il construit des pratiques et des représentations sociales, un imaginaire personnel à l’auteur, des pratiques d’écriture et finalement l’esprit d’une époque. Le plaisir de la table nous conduit des mets aux mots, et de la satisfaction gustative aux valeurs esthétiques de deux civilisations et deux cultures dont nous marquerons les divergences et dont nous soulignerons les harmoniesThe objective of this thesis is to compare the relationship that two cultures (China / France) have with pleasure of taste, through the history of their eating practices, the philosophy that supports them and the representations that are given in the literature. This cultural confrontation will be particularly based on the table scenes present in a Chinese novel from the end of the 18th century (Cao Xuequin) and several French novels from the beginning of the 19th century (Balzac). The comparative approach allows us to consider our object through a common conceptual framework (“deficiency and excess”) and to see how it constructs social practices and representations, a personal imagination for the author, practices of writing and finally the spirit of an era. The pleasure of the table leads us from the dishes to the words, and from the gustatory satisfaction to the aesthetic values of two civilizations and two cultures whose divergences we will mark and whose harmonies we will underline

Idén till denna studie kom till mig för ett antal år sedan då jag fick se ett digital skapat verk och därmed bestämde jag mig för att digitalt bildskapande skulle bli ämnet för mitt examensarbete i min utbildning på lärarutbildningen. Därmed valde jag att göra en undersökning om digitalt bildskapande och hur detta skulle kunna användas som undervisningsverktyg i skolans bildämne.
Mina tankegångar inför detta arbete var om digitalt bildskapande är möjligt att använda i bildundervisning och ifall detta kan utveckla bildämnets undervisning. Men även undersöka om digital bildskapande är av vikt att lära eleverna och om det kan ses som en tillgång för eleverna och lärarna.
I min undersökning använde jag litteratur för att försöka förklara och skapa en bild av ämnet digital bildbehandling. Jag gjorde även en undersökning till mitt arbete med ett digitalt bildbehandlingsprogram för att visa hur digitala metoder och tekniker skulle kunna användas i undervisningen i bildämnet.
Resultatet av mina undersökningar med bildbehandlingsprogrammet visade på att digitalt bildskapande är möjligt att använda som undervisningsverktyg och kan även medföra fördelar för bildämnets verksamhet.

Full textAbstract:
Re-evaluating classic work in the sociology of the visual arts, this Ph.D. thesis explores the tacit and practical bases of artistic mediation with reference to curatorial exhibition making in contemporary art. Data presented here derive from a visual microethnographic study of the exhibition-making process in two elite European centres for contemporary art (London’s Institute of Contemporary Art and ARC/Musée D’Art Moderne de la ville de Paris), combined with an additional thirty-five interviews with other curatorial professionals. By focusing on the visual dimensions of curatorial work, this thesis uses a case study in the sociology of art to think more broadly about aesthetic materials as active mediators of action, or actants in the sense of actor-network theory. Drawing on work in the sociology of education, communication studies, and the sociologies of science and technology, this research explores how the material, embodied, and situated interactions between curators, objects, and environments are constructed and understood in reflexive relation to more explicitly cognitive and verbal representations, interpretations, and accounts. In planning and installing an exhibition of contemporary art, curators frame artworks and build meaning based on the material and conceptual resources at hand. The plans made by curators when preparing an exhibition and composing textual documentation are altered and elaborated during the installation of contemporary art in the physical presence of the artworks and gallery space. The disjuncture between curatorial plans and these situated actions has consequences for the public presentation and comprehension of the final exhibition. In documenting these processes as they take shape in real time and in relation to material objects, the body, and the built environment, this work aims to contribute to the on-going developments and debates that centre on the creation of a ‘strong’ cultural sociology and to extend core sociological thinking on the social structures and bases of action.

Este estudo busca desenvolver o debate acerca da criatividade publicitária, especificamente aquela criatividade percebida em anúncios (e não os métodos ou comportamentos para se tornar criativo, tema rotineiro em manuais de publicidade). A detecção de criatividade em anúncios geralmente vem acompanhada por expressões como ‘original’, ‘surpreendente’, ‘inteligente’, ‘inusitado’. Aqui, são investigadas as bases materiais de tal fenômeno, as causas da criatividade. Isto é realizado a partir de uma premissa estético-semiótica, segundo a qual toda mensagem de tendência estética (inclui-se aí a publicidade criativa) é portadora de transgressões do código (grosso modo, desvio dos padrões habituais). O termo código, peça-chave desta pesquisa, pode ser compreendido como embricamento de normas que possibilitam o processo comunicativo. É deste conceito que se desenrolarão os elementos que irão apontar e descrever alguns dos mecanismos geradores de criatividade em anúncios
The present study aims at amplifying the debate upon the creativity in advertising, more specifically the kind of creativity recognized in advertisements (not the proposed methods or techniques in order for an ad to become creative, an ordinary issue in advertising manuals). The detection of creativity in advertisements is usually accompanied by words such as ‘original’, ‘astonishing’, ‘intelligent’, ‘outstanding’. The study investigates the phenomenon of creativity in advertising under empirical bases. That is, the aesthetic as proposed by the semiotics serves as the framework for analyzing the data. According to this viewpoint, every aesthetic message conveys mechanisms that transgress the code. The code can be read as imbrications of norms that enable communicative processes to take place. By the exam of this concept (code) will be unrolled elements that will go to hint and to describe some generating mechanisms of creativity in ads

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho buscou apresentar uma experiência fotográfica vivenciada pelo autor desta dissertação que fosse conduzida pela teoria da cor. Foi assumido que a fotografia colorida é uma construção dupla, no sentido de que tanto a fotografia como a cor não são neutras. Para embasar esse pressuposto, introduzimos elementos da teoria da fotografia que refutam o automatismo do aparelho fotográfico e trouxemos conceitos da teoria da cor que definem a percepção cromática como um fenômeno que envolve o entendimento dos aspectos físicos, fisiológicos e culturais da cor. Ainda no capítulo da cor, apresentamos a harmonia cromática e sua principal ferramenta, os esquemas de combinações de cores. Tais esquemas conduziram a realização de um conjunto de fotografias do qual foram selecionadas quinze imagens para compor esta dissertação. Finalmente, tecemos comentários sobre a presença da cor em sete das quinze fotografias realizadas para esta pesquisa.This study aimed to provide a photographic essay experienced by the author of this dissertation and driven by the theory of color. It was assumed that the color photograph is a double construction in the sense that both the photo and color are not neutral. To support this assumption, we introduced elements of the theory of photography that refute the automatic photographic apparatus and brought concepts of color theory that define the color perception as a phenomenon that involves understanding the physical, physiological and cultural features of color. In the chapter on color, we stil present the chromatic harmony, and its main tool, the schemes of color combinations. Such schemes have led to collect a set of photographs which were selected fifteen images to compose this dissertation. Finally, we comment on the presence of color in seven of fifteen photographs takenfor this research.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this work is to detect a pattern: the concordance of Ethics and Aesthetics, Poetics and Politics in the most influential American thinker of the nineteenth century. It is an attempt to trace a basic concept of the Emersonian transcendentalist doctrine, its development, its philosophical meaning and practical implications. Emerson’s thought is analyzed genetically in search of the generating paradigm, or the set of axioms from which his aesthetic ideas as well as his political reasoning are derived. Such a basic structure, or point of convergence, is sought in the emergence of Emerson’s idea of universal laws that repeat themselves on all levels of reality. A general introduction is given in Part One, where the crisis in Emerson’s life is seen as representing and foreshadowing the deeper existential crisis of modern man. In Part 2 we follow the increasingly skeptical theologian’s turn to science, where he tries to secure a safe secular foundation for ethical good and right and to solve the problem of evil. Part 3 shows how Emerson’s conception of the laws of nature and ethics is applied in his political philosophy. In Part 4, Emerson’s ideas of the arts are seen as corresponding to his views of nature, morality, and individuality. Finally, in Part 5, the ancient and classical nature of Concord philosophy is brought into focus. The book concludes with a short summary.

Au cours de la décennie 1990, l'introduction puis l’expansion accélérée du numérique par les industries techniques ont favorisé le développement dans les arts filmiques d’un courant critique spontané et collectif portant sur le signal. Nous élaborons une histoire des techniques et des formes esthétiques critiques du signal, en faisceaux de segments, selon une taxinomie qui prolonge le structuralisme matériologique des années 70 (Malcolm Le Grice, Peter Gidal, Paul Sharits, Anthony McCall). Cette histoire embrasse et met en perspective cinéma, vidéo et numérique, de manière à réorganiser nos conceptions distinctes de ces champs selon le domaine des sciences (duquel dépendent détection, codification et visualisation du signal). Nous proposons une histoire des techniques à rebours sous l’angle particulier de la computation du signal, processus systématique commun à l’ensemble des technologies filmiques et entendu comme un ensemble de règles opératoires propres à un traitement calculatoire de données. Dans la double tradition d’une part de Jean Epstein, Marcel L’Herbier ou Jean Renoir, et de l’autre du structuralisme expérimental (Paul Sharits, Malcolm Le Grice…), de nombreux artistes contemporains, tels Paolo Gioli, Philippe Grandrieux, Peter Tscherkassky, Marylène Negro, Leighton Pierce, Augustin Gimel, Jacques Perconte ou HC Gilje (pour n’en mentionner que quelques uns), ont élaboré une intelligence du signal grâce à deux entreprises critiques simultanées. La première, au registre du dispositif, conteste la technologie programmante et vise les libérations du code ; la seconde, au registre de l’image, conteste les normes de visualité et enrichit les palettes visuelles et sonores du flou. Nous tentons d’établir, formuler et organiser les logiques qui, traversant et déterminant la diversité des initiatives artistiques dont nous observons les spécificités et singularités, relèvent d’un même combat artistique contre la standardisationDuring the 90s, with the introduction, then accelerated expansion of digital by the technical industries, has promoted the development of a spontaneous and collective critical current on the signal in the filmic arts. We develop a history of technics and critical aesthetic forms of signal, in beam segments, according to a taxinomy that extends the 70s’ materiologic structuralism (Malcolm le Grice, Peter Gidal, Paul Sharits, Anthony McCall). This history embrace film, video and digital, to reorganize our different conceptions of these fields according to the scientific viewpoint (which detection, codification and display of the signal depend on). We propose a backward technological history from the viewpoint of the signal computation, a systematic process common to all filmic technologies, and understood as a set of operating rules specific to computational data processing.In the double tradition, first of Jean Epstein, Marcel L'Herbier or Jean Renoir, on the other hand experimental structuralism (Paul Sharits, Malcolm Le Grice...), many contemporary artists such as Paolo Gioli, Philippe Grandrieux Peter Tscherkassky, Marylène Negro, Leighton Pierce, Augustin Gimel, Jacques Perconte or HC Gilje (just to mention a few) has developed a signal intelligence thanks to two simultaneous critical enterprises. The first, on the register of the apparatus, challenges the programming technology and aims the liberation of the code ; the second, on the register of the image, challenges the norms of the visuality and expand the visual and sound palettes of blur. We try to formulate and organize the logics which, crossing and determining the diversity of artistic initiatives whom we observe specificities and singularities, belong to the same artistic battle against standardization

Este trabalho abordou mudanças no padrão estético através do uso de ferramenta quantificadora de luz refletida, inclusive para cada espectro visível. É possível perceber mudanças que associadas à descrição petrográfica e às características tecnológicas, orientarão uma escolha consciente e precisa do material pétreo e a monitoração do seu uso. Com a diversidade de tipos de rocha ofertados hoje no mercado, percebe-se a necessidade de preparo de profissionais para identificar a rocha mais adequada para um determinado uso. Outrossim, as características e efeitos dos produtos de limpeza precisam ser sistematicamente acompanhados, de modo que a percepção estética deve ir além da beleza momentânea, inclusive servir de referência para perceber e prever suas mudanças e respectivos desdobramentos sobre propriedades mecânicas do material no decorrer do tempo e do uso estimado e, naturalmente, sua durabilidade otimizada. A permanência da estética e preservação dos parâmetros físicos e mecânicos da rocha passam a depender do aprofundamento teórico para prever a finalidade da indicação da rocha. Os estudos realizados, neste trabalho, abordam a aplicação da espectrometria e luminosidade até a implementação prática do gerenciamento de cores e do brilho, passando pela análise conceitual da cor, sistema visual humano, fontes de luz, temperatura de cor, modelos de cores, espectro eletromagnético, espectrometria, espectro-radiométria, dispositivo para aferir a cor, além de analises petrográfica e tecnológicas do material estudado. A fim de implementar o gerenciamento de cores, foi necessário equipamento de medição, cartelas de referência para calibração e software para ler os dados captados pelo equipamento de medição. Para a implementação do sistema, em caráter experimental, foram utilizadas amostras no material pétreo Preto São Marcos, e os resultados obtidos, mostram que houve alteração do índice colorimétrico e do brilho entre o material original e o sujeito a ataque químico, embora não fossem percebidas a olho nu, devido à composição mineral da rocha.

L’analyse sémiotique de l’architecture domestique a pour but de voir comment se manifestent, à travers le langage architectural, les comportements codés qui remplacent la communication linguistique, en postulant qu'il y a un déterminisme de l'architecture par les valeurs macro-sociales, et que le signe architectural doit être considéré comme un marqueur anthropologique. L’approche pluridisciplinaire qui allie des champs aussi divers que l’architecture, la sémiologie et l’anthropologie, a pour ambition de contribuer d’une part, à la sémiotique de l’architecture en proposant une méthodologie pour l’analyse et le découpage d’un corpus architectural, et d’une autre, d’élargir le champ de la géographie urbaine à de nouvelles disciplines, et enfin, de proposer une lecture inédite du paysage urbain à Beyrouth à travers l’étude comparative de deux typologies architecturales. L’approche sémiotique proposée peut être appliquée en tant qu’outil de la géographie urbaine à des corpus architecturaux ou des pans du tissu urbain afin d’appréhender les mécanismes de production et d’obsolescence des formes, et par extension de la villeThe purpose of a semiotic analysis of architecture is to see how non verbal codes manifest themselves through the architectural language, based upon the idea that such a language is conditioned by macro-social values, and therefore the architectural sign should be considered as an anthropological marker. This multi-disciplinary approach combining different fields such as architecture, semiotics and anthropology, is aimed on one hand at contributing to semiotics by proposing a methodology for the analysis of an architectural corpus, and on the other hand, to broadening the field of urban geography to new disciplines, and finally, to providing a new analysis of Beirut’s urban fabric through the comparative case study of two architectural typologies. The proposed semiotic approach can be applied as a tool of urban geography to architectural corpuses and urban fabrics in order to understand the mechanisms of production and obsolescence of form

Urban interior environment mostly serves as a place for various meetings and social events. Thus, these spaces come alive thanks to people, who give them reason and meaning. However, the question is what role urban interior has in the present day, which, at the beginning of the new millennium, is characterized by a high degree of individualism. Within the deurbanization tendencies, buildings and adjoining areas in central parts of cities are often abandoned and the activities move to the periphery. If we want to return the social function to the urban interior, as a place of pleasant encounters and relationships, we need to approach its formation with respect to current trends in the development of human society. From the perspective of sustainable development, it is also necessary not to extend the boundaries of urbanized area to adjacent landscape, while abandoning the central locations in cities, but to maintain their intensive character. From this point of view, it is necessary to realize, that it is the greenery that gives the city an opportunity to perceive public spaces as an integral part of urban life and not just as places that people walk through having no reason to stay longer than necessary. Application of greenery in urban interior provides many positive features to the city. Greenery is an added value that can also operate independently as a functional unit that links the other functions of the urban organism. Both in its solitary form and in line or area applications. Along with water elements, urban furniture, various hard surfaces and landscaping, greenery creates a pleasant and interesting living environment in the city that can be desirable and sought-after again.

Abstract Student ID: N9458001 Title of thesis: Aesthetics in Human Resource Management and Business Core Value Total page: 121 Name of Institute: Department Business Management, National Pingtung University of Science and Technology Graduate data: June, 2007 Degree Conferred: Master Name of student: Lee, Szu-Ching Adviser: Dr. Liaw, Shu-Yi The ideology of human resource management has transferred from the concept of high efficient man power application in the era of industry to developing talent human resource in the time of intellectual economy until today’s sentimental stage of developing the aesthetics in human resource. Aesthetics is the core of competition in the new era; human is one of the most important assets for the enterprise. How to conduct the enterprise aesthetic into the practice of human resource management, strengthen the enterprise’s competition in the changes of inner and outer environments, and increase the business core value become extremely necessary. Nevertheless, among most documents of human resource management, the connotation of enterprise aesthetics has not been concretely expressed. Thus, it worths us to do further studying in this subject. The major purpose of this studying is to find out how the enterprise aesthetics influences the way of thinking in today’s human resource management; furthermore, to develop the concept of the aesthetics of human resource management. From the questionnaires which were given to the person who is in charge of human resource together with the statistic analyses, there are five hundred and twenty one (521) legitimate copies in return. Thinking from the perspectives of acquisition, compensation, development and maintenance in human resource management, we can conclude there are four major characters—the beauty of rationality, the beauty of harmony, the beauty of creation, and the beauty of feedback in enterprise aesthetics. Within these four characters, there are sixteen (16) items of connotation. In addition, studying on the basic data of questionnaires and the different weight of vary important factors, we may discover how to make the aesthetics of human resource management became the common sense of enterprise’s culture and combine with the outer image of the enterprise, then to form the core value for the enterprise. In studying, the result reveals that the factors of aesthetics of human resource management have no direct influence upon how the enterprise forms its core value. However, through practicing enterprise aesthetics inside of enterprise plus giving the identity and building up the outer image of enterprise can reach to a visible influence on the forming of the core value. The presumption of this studying is if an enterprise can inspire their employees in a positive emotion and allow their employees work at a pleasant and professional environment, be through the mutual learning in working sills, experience the harmonious human relationship, and conduct the connotation of aesthetics at work, it can assure the sense and sensibility in the human resource management and the rewarding system. To add aesthetics to the strategy of human resource management in the enterprise not only unifying employee’s attitude and sense of value, but also obtain the positive response from its customers which enable the enterprise to build up its own image among their competitors. Thus, it can create the centripetal force and competitiveness which can not be imitated by others. Yet it can form an unique culture style and the enterprise core value. I sincerely hope this studying can be the reference of the application for the system of human resource management in enterprises and in some way would help the enterprise to establish the system of the aesthetics of human resource management and add the connotation of aesthetics in business practice. Key words: Human Resource Management, Enterprise Aesthetics, Corporate Image, Enterprise Core Value

Abstract This thesis explores the aesthetics of the realm in Buddhist ideal in Ch’an Buddhism, with the “Platform Sutra of the Sixth Patriarch” as the core focus of the research. It investigates and details the concept of aesthetics of the realm in the sutra. The realm of the Buddhist ideal occupies a significant position in Ch’an Buddhism. The concept of the ‘heart’ signifies the origins or source of all matters, and the heart’s ability to generate all matters of existence or dharma is emphasized in Ch’an Buddhism. Meanwhile, the heart can also give rise to the various realms. It can be said that realms encompass both spiritual and physical aspects. When juxtaposed with emptiness or vacuum, realms give rise to the spatial sense. This philosophical concept could hardly be described effectively with words and should instead be experienced. This paper, focusing on the “Platform Sutra” as an important Buddhist scripture, encompasses a detailed examination of the original scripture. Rather than relying on conceptual definitions, this paper examines the original scripture in detail in order to further our understanding of the Buddhist scriptures through the analysis of its contents and argumentation as far as possible. The paper also adopts a narrative approach in its presenting the philosophies and thoughts contained in Ch’an Buddhism to better illustrate the core concepts and thoughts contained in the scriptures. Additionally, it should be noted that as Hui Neng was illiterate and had emphasized the transmission of knowledge without text, what was narrated or documented in the scriptures had been transmitted ‘by heart’ rather than through words. As such, this paper seeks to understand the thoughts encompassed in the scriptures rather than the written word itself, as well as to disregard the common perception of Ch’an Buddhism as a formal religion. It uses concrete illustrations to give form to abstract concepts and examines the narratives of the realms, rather than focus on any precise definition of the written word. Following this line of thought, this study applies the discussions on Ch’an Buddhism to artistic expressions, aesthetic studies, literature and lifestyle aesthetics. The aesthetics of the realm in the Buddhist ideal focuses on the world in which the self or body is located within. Through the actions of the self, one is connected and united with the various realms. This process brings forth elements of beauty, and the outlooks and aesthetic senses that arise from such interaction with different realms, as well as various worldly matters that arise from the heart, influence our perception and representations of aesthetics. The aesthetics of Ch’an Buddhism represents the ideal realm through a combination of its perspective on the physical, sensory aspects and which is extended to the area of aesthetics of the ideal realm. From this emerges artistic beauty, characteristics of selflessness, detachment and temporariness and to abandon all worldly attachment in order to enter an alternative realm. This is akin to a self-purification process for one’s spiritual realm. Buddha nature is also revealed from such perception of aesthetics that emerged from egalitarianism. This research explores the vast world opened up by the thoughts of the heart and spirit, and in turn, its influence on the perception and appreciation of art and various aspects of lifestyle. The individual chapters are interconnected and framed by discussions of the Platform Sutra. The aesthetics of the realm of Buddhist ideal is consistently featured and explored in this study from a variety of perspectives and trains of thoughts.

Picture book is a new creation which combined from "graphic languages" and "text languages". It also combines graphics which has space element and experienced abstract symbol – text, to create a brand new creative form, just like a presentation of multimedia integrated language. Picture book has a "messenger" function through the process of imagination of "graphic languages" and "text languages". To study what makes graphics and text become messages, we have to study symbols; Symbols are human made products or behaviors, which can deliver meanings to people. Codes are systems which define the relations between symbols, and the working relations between symbols and symbols are semiotics. Semiotics is a culture research tool, it has some difference between the traditional critic ways. The traditional critic ways heavily talk about the aesthetics and the inner interpretation of the meanings of text but semiotics talks about how the meanings are made and created in the text but now what the meanings are. Roland Barthes thinks that art works are similar to the symbols system of natural languages, the audience can present their thoughts and actions by exchanging their wills according to those images. Under the affection of semiotics, pictures are looked as symbols systems or codes which need to be decoded. The images of pictures not only describe objects but also deliver some specific meanings of messages. I think the point of view of the research theory could touch the feelings and meanings from the series of picture books of Quint Buchholz. To the picture books or art works, the meanings are created by the process of the audience involving and interpretation and the theory is the media to do the research. This essay starts from the special relationship of text and graphics with creative interpretation, then Surrealism-analysis Buchholz''s picture book. After that we apply the symbol communicate function of Jakobson''s languages six and Roland Barthes'' five

In this paper I would like to study the relationship between landscape praintings in china and its ancient philosophy, especially aesthetic thought of Taoism, its representation is Zhuangze. The problem of freedom for Taoism is the most important idea, that is, people live without dependence, namely free from all constraints and according to his nature. The problem of freedom of Zhuangze is wander, such as a flag in air. It drifts without purpose, but with uselessness and harmony. Freedom in subject is Xinzhai(心齋) and Zuowang(坐忘). The base theory which helps us to analyse the relationship between Zhuangze and landscape paintings is the thought of Hsu Fu-kuan and Zong Baihua, and in this paper I would take some famous works in China in order to show such relation. Zong Baihua has constributed for aesthetical thought in the history of landscape painting in china, and Hsu Fu-kuan is the first scholar who makes a systematicalresearch on the relation. The reason why I use works in my paper which belongs to the department of philosophy is that I would like to make my paper not in abstract but in a concreted.

Full textAbstract:
Il processo di trasformazione dei materiali dovuto all’azione del tempo - material aging- è culturalmente ritenuto un fattore indesiderato e nocivo, in particolare quando comporta l’alterazione delle caratteristiche estetiche ed incide sull’integrità della materia. Dalle recenti ricerche sul tema nel campo della semiotica, antropologia, restauro dei beni culturali, oltre che del design, emerge come in realtà il processo di invecchiamento dei materiali possa costituire uno strumento per il design nella misura in cui i segni del “tempo” si fanno veicolo di significati, interloquendo con i fruitori e apportando un rinnovato valore semantico ai materiali. La ricerca proposta intende definire le potenzialità dei processi naturali di biodeterioramento di costituirsi come uno strumento per la progettazione e la realizzazione di Materiali Open-ended, ossia materiali ibridi realizzati in collaborazione con gli organismi viventi responsabili del processo di biodegrado. Tale ibridazione con la componente vivente gli conferisce a questa nuova categoria di Materiali, la capacità di modificare la propria conformazione superficiale a seconda dei singoli contesti d’uso o dei processi di produzione. La ricerca è strutturata in due parti, che rispettivamente riportano i risultati dell’attività di ricerca di tipo teorico e di tipo sperimentale. Il focus della costruzione dell’apparato teorico è stata l’ individuazione degli elementi chiave da poter implementare per innescare un percorso di rivalutazione dei processi di biodeterioramento. Attraverso lo studio del tema e attingendo alle teorie della Users e Material Experience, nonché alle altre discipline che si sono confrontate con il tema, si intende fornire una rilettura del fenomeno dell’invecchiamento dei Materiali, da un punto di vista culturale e progettuale . La prima parte si conclude nel capitolo 4 con la definizione dei Materiali e Produzioni Open-ended, nonché con l’illustrazione delle potenzialità dei processi di biodeterioramento dal punto di vista estetico, narrativo e funzionale. La seconda parte intende fornire indicazioni sulle modalità di progettazione e realizzazione dei materiali e produzioni Open-ended, definendo il nuovo contesto progettuale in cui si inseriscono e fornendo delle Linee Guida per il Design che approccia alla progettazione in collaborazione con gli organismi viventi. L’attività sperimentale, svolta negli spazi del laboratorio di Biotecnologie “Charles Darwin” di Sapienza, e del centro di Ricerca e Servizi Saperi&co, ha validato le Linee Guida individuate attraverso l’applicazione di un processo di Invecchiamento ad opera di un batterio produttore di pigmenti. I risultati ottenuti mostrano le potenzialità dell’applicazione del processo nel settore tessile, in sostituzione dei tradizionali metodi di tintura sintetica. In termini più ampi la ricerca vuole fornire un contributo sul tema della sostenibilità di processi e materiali; dopo la fase di esaltazione delle plastiche negli anni 60, dopo la parabola dei materiali iperfunzionali con apice negli anni 80, la ricerca contemporanea nel campo dei materiali per il progetto sperimenta nuovi paradigmi materici e produttivi basati sul ritorno all’utilizzo di risorse naturali. Col mutare dei processi mutano però anche le performance dei materiali, che aprono a scenari inediti di fruizione, di percezione e di linguaggi, anche desueti, che rendono necessario un ripensamento di alcuni aspetti legati non solo alla progettazione ma anche a pattern di consumo ormai radicati nella società.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contributes to the discourse concerning the role played by
computational devices in contemporary culture, specifically, in contemporary art
and performance. It addresses the cultural chasm - which has been widening since
the Industrial Revolution - between the production and consumption of technology.
A position is developed that unmasks the creative possibilities of experiencing the
computer as a theatre machine, a mechanism of infinite purposes and diverse
desires, rather than solely as an unmediated presentation of a ‘ready-made’
functional tool. Beyond this technological pragmatism, the inquiry instead points
to a richer engagement with technology that can occur through the application of
arcane cultural practices from speculative traditions of thinking that include
cryptography, theatre and occult philosophy.
The study examines the depth of the reach of the computer into the social fabric of
everyday life through a series of experimental artworks and performances. The
research areas mobilised in the artworks and applied in the exegesis posit that the
distinguishing character of computer networks and systems lies in their materiality.
This research also extends to the modes of performance they enable, through which
human beings participate and interact.
An exploration of the black-box metaphor - as applied to both computers and
theatre and a review of links they share - demonstrates how perceptions about
techné and the aesthetic use of technology are shaped by a knowledge of social
histories, politics and cultural experiences. Dramaturgy is a central discipline
framing the project because performative actions offer an insight into, and
elaboration of, aesthetic processes and the effect of technical provocations.
Underlying the artworks that make up this thesis is a methodology that defines
radical subjectivity. By drawing attention to the apparatus used to construct and
enact the work, new models of aesthetic engagement are created which can be
characterised by a playful enactment (a ludibrium) of arcane tropes. The thesis
concludes that profound play with the limits of a given schema, even of the most
utilitarian kind, can lead to startling transfigurations and unanticipated ripples of
sway far beyond the maker’s intent.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation develops computational models to address outstanding problems in the domain of expectation-related cognitive processes and their neuroimaging markers in functional MRI or EEG. The new models reveal a way to unite diverse phenomena within a common framework focused on dynamic neural encoding shifts, which can arise from robust interactive effects of M-currents and chloride currents in pyramidal neurons. By specifying efficient, biologically realistic circuits that achieve predictive coding (e.g., Friston, 2005), these models bridge among neuronal biophysics, systems neuroscience, and theories of cognition.
Chapter one surveys data types and neural processes to be examined, and outlines the Dynamically Labeled Predictive Coding (DLPC) framework developed during the research. Chapter two models hippocampal prediction and mismatch, using the DLPC framework. Chapter three presents extensions to the model that allow its application for modeling neocortical EEG genesis. Simulations of this extended model illustrate how dynamic encoding shifts can produce Mismatch Negativity (MMN) phenomena, including pharmacological effects on MMN reported for humans or animals.
Chapters four and five describe new modeling studies of possible neural bases for alpha-induced information suppression, a phenomenon associated with active ignoring of stimuli. Two models explore the hypothesis that in simple rate-based circuits, information suppression might be a robust effect of neural saturation states arising near peaks of resonant alpha oscillations. A new proposal is also introduced for how the basal ganglia may control onset and offset of alpha-induced information suppression. Although these rate models could reproduce many experimental findings, they fell short of reproducing a key electrophysiological finding: phase-dependent reduction in spiking activity correlated with power in the alpha frequency band.
Therefore, chapter five also specifies how a DLPC model, adapted from the neocortical model developed in chapter three, can provide an expectation-based model of alpha-induced information suppression that exhibits phase-dependent spike reduction during alpha-band oscillations. The model thus can explain experimental findings that were not reproduced by the rate models. The final chapter summarizes main theses, results, and basic research implications, then suggests future directions, including expanded models of neocortical mismatch, applications to artificial neural networks, and the introduction of reward circuitry.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Electrotécnica e de Computadores apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e TecnologiaCódigos Lidos por Máquinas ( Machine-Readable Codes - MRC) têm sido usados para diversas finalidades ao longo dos anos, e abordagens clássicas como o código de barras ou o código QR podem ser vistas frequentemente no nosso dia-a-dia. Contudo, mais recentemente, um novo MRC foi criado com a capacidade de juntar o poder de comunicação dos métodos clássicos com uma melhoria significativa na estética e na capacidade de codificação. Este método é designado por UniQode.O UniQode possui duas grandes vantagens sobre os MRCs clássicos: estética e maior capacidade de codificação. Consequentemente, abre novas possibilidades para diversas finalidades, como identificação de produtos, rastreamento, marketing e comunicação vendedor-comprador. Esse novo método MRC é composto por vários elementos, sendo um deles o Código Gráfico (Graphic Code - GC). Este elemento pode ser criado de duas formas diferentes, com pixéis ou com ícones, ou por vezes com ambos.O GC baseado em pixéis foi amplamente estudado e os seus resultados serão apresentados neste documento. No entanto, o GC baseado em ícones ainda representa um novo conceito, com um método de criação não estruturado.Nesta dissertação, o trabalho proposto abrange não só a formalização do método de geração de GC baseado em ícones, mas também a criação de uma ferramenta para este processo de codificação, de modo de agilizar esta operação e gerar a respetiva documentação formal.Com a realização do trabalho proposto, a industrialização deste tipo de código torna-se possível e é facilitada, e o trabalho futuro nesta área é ampliado. Esse trabalho engloba, por exemplo, o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta de decodificação correspondente, o aprimoramento das funções deste projeto, entre outros aspetos.
Machine-Readable Codes (MRC) have been used for several purposes over the years and classic approaches like the bar code or the QR Code can be seen everywhere in our day-to-day. However, more recently, a new MRC was created with the ability to combine the communication power of classical methods with a meaningful improvement on aesthetics and data capacity. This method is named UniQode. The UniQode has two major advantages over classical MRCs: aesthetics and larger coding capacity. Consequently, it opens new possibilities for several purposes such as product identification, tracking, marketing and seller-buyer communication. This new MRC method is composed by several elements, one of them being the Graphic Code (GC). This element can be created in two different ways, either with pixels or with icons, or, sometimes, both.The pixel-based GC has been extensively researched and its accomplishments will be presented in this document. However, the icon-based GC still represents a new concept with a mostly unstructured creation method.In this dissertation, the proposed work encompasses not only a formalisation of the generation method for icon-based GC, but also the creation of a tool for this type of encoding process, in order to quicken this operation while also generating its formal documentation.With the achievement of the proposed work, the industrialisation of this type of code is made possible and facilitated, and future work on this area is widened. Such work could comprise the development of a corresponding decoding tool, the enhancement of this project's tools abilities, among other aspects.

Esta tese de doutoramento debruça-se essencialmente sobre a segunda metade do século XX na sustentação se que, tanto o código de programação dos computadores como o código genético constituíram, na prática artística, pontos de partida para o estabelecimento de novos modelos e paradigmas na arte contemporânea. Esses novos modelos revelam-se a partir de uma certa resistência, tanto institucional como no discurso canónico da história e da escrita, ao acolhimento destas novas mediações, que tiveram como consequência um lapso de tempo que importa reabilitar. A partir de uma abordagem diferenciadora do século XIX relativamente ao século XX, estruturou-se um estudo que evidencia, essencialmente na sua segunda metade, uma realidade social e cultural de cariz tecnológica propiciadora à criação artística neste domínio. A análise da prática artística neste estudo recai essencialmente sobre os seus pioneiros, tanto em termos internacionais como nacionais, referenciando-se neste âmbito, com algum destaque, os trabalhos de Leonel Moura e Marta Menezes como exemplos diferenciados da utilização do código (informática e biologia) nos respectivos processos artísticos. A prática artística no início do século XXI considerada brevemente no final deste estudo, evidencia os novos paradigmas que a introdução dos novos meios, mais do que simples tecnologias, vieram aportar. Nomeadamente no relacionamento institucional, na criação de métodos de arquivo e manutenção, na divulgação e comercialização das obras, na formação interdisciplinar e investigação artística, e na aproximação entre arte e ciência.The thesis sustains that code (computer programming code, as well as genetic code), represented starting points for a paradigm shift in contemporary art when it began to be integrated in art practices in the second half of the 20th century. Those new paradigms were originated from a certain resistance in welcoming those new mediations, both at the critical and institutional level, which lead to the lack of attention regarding its integration into art history mainstream discourse and, consequently, to a lapse in time that is important to rehabilitate in order to understand the 21th century art practices. the first part of this study is concerned with the analyses of the social and tecno-cultural contexts of the 20th century, as werll as the aesthetic directions suggested by new media art practices (systems, imnformations and database aesthetics), in order to show that the technological shift based on information and (later) biologic technologies, were not foreignenvironments in the artistic creation. The second part of this study is concentrated in the artistic practice analysis of the early developments and support of new media pioneers, with some enphasis on works by Portugueses artists Leonel Moura e Marta de Menezes, as differentiated examples of the use of code (information technology and biology) in their respective artistic projects. The artistic practice in the early 21st century, briefly considered at the end of this study, outlines the new artistic scenarios and the new paradigms that were brought to light with the introduction of new media - namely at the institutional relationship level, in the archive and preservation methods, in exhibition and selling works of art - and also in the creation of new interdisciplinary academic curriculum/artistic research, and in the new synergies (and sometimes symbioti approach) between art and science.

Full textAbstract:
A estética ocupa uma parte significativa do trabalho no âmbito da medicina dentária. A cor da
gengiva desempenha um papel importante na estética facial. A pigmentação melánica
gengival ocorre em todas as raças, em qualquer idade, não apresentando predileção de gênero.
O grau de pigmentação da melanina pode variar de pessoa para pessoa. Os clínicos enfrentam
desafios para alcançar uma estética gengival aceitável, bem como para abordar problemas
biológicos e funcionais. No entanto, os princípios e a técnica de gestão dos problemas
associados à pigmentação da melanina gengival ainda não estão totalmente esclarecidos.
Embora a pigmentação clínica da melanina não represente um problema médico, os pacientes
podem queixar-se da pigmentação escurecida exagerada da gengiva e requererem terapêutica
cosmética.
Esta revisão bibliográfica, pretende dar uma informação global sobre o que é a pigmentação
gengival e as terapêuticas existentes.
Com este propósito, foi feita uma pesquisa utilizando como motores de busca PubMed,
Google scholar, B-On e SciELO, pesquisando um total de cerca 200 artigos, escolhendo os 39
que considerei mais relevantes, utilizando como criterio a relevância para o assunto.Aesthetic occupies a significant part of the work in the field of dental medicine. The colour of gingiva plays an important role in overall aesthetic. Gingival melanin pigmentation occurs in all races, at any age, with no gender preference. The degree of melanin pigmentation may vary from person to person. Clinicians face challenges to achieve an acceptable gingival aesthetic as well as to address biological and functional problems. However, the principles and the management of problems associated with pigmentation of gingival melanin, are not yet fully clarified. Although the clinical pigmentation of melanin does not represent a medical problem, patients may complain of excessive darkened pigmentation of the gums and require cosmetic therapy. This literature review aims to give a global information on what is the gingival pigmentation and existing therapies. For this purpose, a search was performed using PubMed, Google scholar, B-On and SciELO, searching a total of about 200 articles, choosing the 39 that I considered most relevant, using as criteria the relevance to the subject.
