Full textRemiantis interpretacinės antropologijos paradigma ir vadovaujantis trimis – paties tyrinėtojo, tyrimo dalyvių ir sociokultūrinio konteksto vaidmens blogos akies konstrukto kuriamajame darbe – perspektyvomis, daktaro disertacijoje nustatyta šiuolaikinio lietuviškojo blogos akies komplekso raiška. Siekiant atskleisti didelę individualių požiūrių ir sampratų įvairovę, darbe pabrėžiamos skirtingų nuomonių sankirtos ir sąveikos, akcentuojamas nepaliaujamas kūrybos vyksmas, dėl kurio randasi lankstus, griežtai neapibrėžtas darinys, leidžiantis bloga akimi tikintiems žmonėms aktyviai veikti, kurti, išreikšti daugybę įvairiausių prasmių ir asmeninių patirčių, interpretuojant asmenines bei socialines nesekmes, nepalankias gyvenimo aplinkybes ir laimės stoką. Šių dienų Lietuvoje blogos akies kompleksas pasireiškia kaip homogeniškas, tačiau drauge ir įvairiaprasmis kultūrinis konstruktas. Jo kūrime dalyvauja abiejų lyčių, įvairaus amžiaus, profesijos ir išsilavinimo žmonės. Lyties požiūriu, blogos akies komplekso raiška nėra vienoda. Moterys, lyginant su vyrais, intensyviau išreiškia ir akcentuoja blogos akies idėją. Pasitvirtino iškelta hipotezė, kad šiuolaikinėje Lietuvoje moterys anksčiau negu vyrai sužino apie kenkiamąją akių galią ir daugiau apie blogą akį išmano. Remiantis turimais duomenimis, galima teigti, kad blogos akies idėja moterims svarbesnė negu vyrams, kad moterys blogos akies idėją pabrėžia intensyviau ir net pačios blogaakystę noriai priskiria moterims.

Full textThis dissertation inspects how Jonathan Franzen, Don DeLillo, and Jane Smiley present the inconsistencies of the law. These American novelists emplot global escapes into their work as a means to inform notions of liberty and jurisprudence. For these writers, freedom requires the recognition of contradictory---and unanticipated---narratives. "Justice Theory" emerges where media, gambling, performance, and suburban studies intersect with ethics, globalism, and narratology. In Franzen's novel The Corrections and essay collection How to Be Alone, self-validation requires the appreciation of the stories of others. In DeLillo's later works, particularly the plays The Day Room and Valparaiso, justice materializes in terms of isolation and the will to alter personal stories. For Smiley, as construed in her long novels The Greenlanders and Horse Heaven, dynamic responsive actions attend risky, unpredictable encounters in competitive milieus like the racetrack. These authors reveal that executions of justice and the perpetration of injustice involve varied consequences. The law is not only about punishment and recompense. Rather, legality directs the consequences of its applications toward the ideal of justice, which evolves alongside the subjects that it serves and the stories that they relate.

As a culminating thesis project my Master of Fine Arts degree in Film and Television, chose to create a theatrical production that incorporated multiple video projections as well as performance forms such as dance, drama, music and ritual. This explication then begins answering the question, 'how does a student of film and television production engage with live performance and create a theatrical event as opposed to a DVD as a final outcome?' The 'why' lies in the hypothesis contained in the title of the explication "Layering Time: The Representation of Tradition in Contemporary Multi Media Performance." I was exposed to multimedia techniques at the University of Hartford in America while pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Through the Master of Fine Arts in Film and Television programme at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, J wished to expand and deepen what I had learnt as an undergraduate student. The result of this effort was my thesis production. The theme of the production and the concept of layering time dealt with the importance of continuity and representations of traditional culture in a contemporary world, which is a layering of past and present. As a multi-media production,WaterFeels, was also an exploration of conceptual relationships between different art forms and the potential in this use of mixed media for notions of past and present time to exist simultaneously.

Full textEsta tese volta-se para a problematização do papel do cineasta como tradutor de demandas sociais no cinema brasileiro contemporâneo, tendo em vista o que se convencionou chamar, a partir dos anos de 1970, de virada antropológica da narrativa cinematográfica. Investiga-se a construção da narrativa em primeira pessoa na ficção do cinema brasileiro pós Retomada, levando em conta a crítica que se fez à voz do saber e ao uso da terceira pessoa, predominantes no discurso do Cinema Novo: isto é, num período em que as artes caminhavam em consonância com um projeto coletivo e igualitário de nação. No intuito de refletir sobre a relação entre opções estéticas e políticas no que diz respeito às práticas de enunciação, a tese privilegiou filmes baseados em obras literárias que suscitam o questionamento do lugar de fala do narrador (A Hora da estrela, Abril despedaçado e Cidade de Deus) e pares de filmes a partir dos quais se pode caracterizar o movimento pendular da produção contemporânea entre o cineasta-intelectual que arroga para si o papel de falar sobre e pelo outro e o cineasta-etnógrafo que cede espaço para a fala do outro de classe. Os pares Tropa de elite e Notícias de uma guerra particular, Carandiru e O Prisioneiro da grade de ferro e, por último, Cinco vezes favela e 5X favela – Agora por nós mesmos foram analisados à luz das questões levantadas.
The thesis turned its attention to questioning the role of the filmmaker as a translator of social demands in contemporary Brazilian cinema, specifically 1970 s anthropological approach of narrative film. The work investigates the construction of the first-person narrative in Brazilian cinema after the so-called Retomada, taking into account the criticism of the voice of God and the use of the third person, which are predominant in the speech of the Brazilian movement Cinema Novo: That is, a period in which the arts were in line with a collective and egalitarian notion of nation. In order to discuss the relationship between aesthetic approaches and policies with regard to the statement of these practices, the thesis focused on films based on literary works that raise the question of the place of the narrator (Hour of the Star, Behind the Sun and City of God) and pairs of films from which one can characterize the pendulum of contemporary production between the filmmaker-intellectual who apropriate to themselves the role of talking about and for each other, and the filmmaker-ethnographer, that provides room for the speech of another class. The films Elite Squad and News From a Personal War, Carandiru and Prisioneiro da grade de ferro, and finally Cinco vezes favela and 5X Favela - Now by Ourselves were analyzed in the light of the issues raised.

Full textCette thèse soutient l'idée que la voix est définie tant par son corps matériel que par son statut de représentation et qu'elle est inhérente à la construction des identités, de genre et de race, ainsi qu'au processus d'identification lui-même. Chaque chapitre se construit autour de la notion de voix comme constituant une modalité alternative de rencontre et d'expérimentation de l'autre. Dans le cadre d'un examen de l'art contemporain canadien, mon propos s'enracine dans un contexte de pratiques d'art, mais ne se limite pas à ce seul champ. Se référant aux oeuvres de Janet Cardiff, Geneviève Cadieux, Ken Lum et Rebecca Belmore, cette discussion propose la mise en relation étroite entre pratiques artistiques et thèmes du récit, de l'incarnation, de la représentation et du lieu. Artistes et thèmes viennent soutenir l'explication de la connectivité entre voix et identité, et confirment que ce propos est le reflet - autant que le produit - des problèmes actuels de race et de genre existants au sein de la société canadienne. L'utilisation de pratiques artistiques non-visuelles montre également comment les constructions de l'identité, lorsqu'elles sont confinées au champ du visuel, sont régies et nourries par les structures idéologiques du terme « visibilité ». La « visibilité », et son lien métonymique avec la terminologie surpolitisée de « minorité visible », est un facteur limitant dans la vie quotidienne de nombreux citoyens, qui subissent des discriminations basées sur la loi du visible. Cette dissertation propose non seulement d'élargir le vocabulaire critique permettant de discuter de l 'art contemporain canadien sortant des paramètres visuels, mais fait aussi l'examen des théories critiques existantes sur la notion d'identité. En plus d'une critique des aspects de la visualité, les chapitres suivants traiteront de la voix comme aspect du corps matériel

Full textI examine representations of race, gender, and sexuality in contemporary video-game narratives. I use data from interviews to show how people view their representations in video games and to set a guide for analyzing the games themselves. I analyze a sample of top-selling narrativedriven video games in the United States released from 2016-2019. My content coding incorporates aforementioned interview data as well as theoretical-based and intersectional concepts on video game characters and their narratives. The content analysis includes measures of narrative importance, narrative role, positivity of representation, and demographic categories of characters, though the scale of this study may not allow for a full test of intersectional theory of links between demographics and roles. Interview and content analysis results suggest an overrepresentation of white characters and extreme under-representation of non-white women.
