Full textTo define the subject, different points of view have been considered. A first theoretical and historical part is devoted to the status of the fictive, initially studying its origin in literature, then its strange absence from successive theories about photography, and finally, at greater length, its main appearances in the history of photographic practices. The second part consists of the very detailed analysis of five photographic works (by minor white, ralph eugene meatyard, nils-udo, georges rousse and bernard faucon) which introduce some fictive through different methods the objective being to locate its defining characteristics. Conclusionshypotheses concerning the disruptive effect of the fictive are then esta, blished. A synthesis of the fictive processes (dilation of space, stretching of temporality, denaturalisation mechanisms during film exposure), and of the motives of their implementation (variations of illusion, narration, metaphorical supposition) is constructed from this in the third part, extending the corpus to the entire work of the five selected photographers and to many other contemporary works. The aim of this thesis, which developped from a reversal of the strictly indexial characteristic of photography, introducing the paradox of copresence of the same and the other (the photographed reality / the fictional scene being showed) into the theorical reflexion, becomes evident. Indeed, it emphasizes the driving force of these practices : the creation of a gap which opens an area of tension, which introduces an emptyness - absorbing the interrogations of each artist, and, at the same time, evanescent, offering an area of freedom to the spectator
Moreno, Jérôme. "Émergence et retrait de la figure humaine : pour une anthropologie de l’image." Toulouse 2, 2009. http://www.theses.fr/2009TOU20022.
Full textFace plastic practice generates sensible images. This thesis proposes an exploration of figurative images based on anthropological approach. In a first category of images, face proceeds from vagaries of History. It could be alternately propaganda and destruction. Shoah symbolizes the face obliteration and reveals an image in the very back. Conversely, the face could rise from the melting pot of distortion, disfigurement and representation. The image envisages face like a trace: a gesture print issued from accumulation, interlace or series principle. In this case, image awakes from the gesture. However, a third set of images could also reveal a hesitant face. For example, in photography, this face plays on the thin frontier between representation and abstraction. Image waves between retreat and emergence, figurative appearance and disappearance. According to survival principle, this oscillation indicates the capability of figurative images to resurface time and space, beyond. They have a power : the power to remember

Full textThis thesis aims to explore a source of images of Taiwan, most of which have been neglected up to now : photographic illustrations which appeared in foreign publications between 1843 and 1945. The numerous photographs taken by foreigners living in Taiwan since the 19th century or financed by the Japanese colonial government after 1895, in order to be published abroad in periodicals or books have become the only archive available for consultation. Almost 2000 images have been inventoried in the 108 publications analysed in the thesis. Most of them have been photographed in the original publications. All of them have been reproduced, captioned and referenced in an additional volume. The timeline chosen for analysis (1843-1945) is split into two separate periods by the Japanese annexation of Taiwan in 1895. This political mutation had a major impact on the economic activity, the urbanisation, the social organisation and consequently on the images documenting the state of the country. The study first focuses on the history of the relationships between foreign nations and Formosa-Taiwan. It then minutely describes all the collected editorial sources, the information they contain and offers an analysis of the island’s links with foreign countries by looking into the identities of the editors and writers as well as the languages used. Next, the study investigates the practice of the different categories of photographers who provided the images, these often being amateurs who were also the authors of the texts. This study examines the techniques of photography and printed illustrations in order to grasp the possibilities of the photographic illustration, including the turning point represented by the emergence of photoengraving in 1893. The study of all the collected images highlights the main themes of the illustrations and the ways in which they align with the editorial objectives of the articles or books, from topography to the exploitation of camphor and the development of schools. Two main questions dominate this corpus of illustrations, both emphasizing with the Japanese colonisation. On the one hand, the recognition of Aboriginal tribes, often deemed ‘savages’. Objects of curiosity, they triggered ethnological benevolence, fear or hostility and were subjected to real photographic investigations which represent a third of all the illustrations. On the other hand, the modernisation, the urbanisation, the economic growth and the ensuing social transformations of the island under Japanese control. The study underlines the diversity and the ambivalence of the points of view ‘on Taiwan’ and of the ‘foreign’ attitudes towards Taiwan but also the visual and aesthetic value of a major archive, for the most part never seen before, scattered and, from now on, digitally available
Wang, Yan. "Détection des changements à partir de photographies." Thesis, Toulouse 3, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016TOU30069/document.
Full textThis work deals with change detection from chronological series of photographs acquired from the ground. This context of consecutive images comparison is the one encountered in the field of integrated geography where photographic landscape observatories are widely used. These tools for analysis and decision-making consist of databases of photographic images obtained by strictly rephotographing the same scene at regular time intervals. With a large number of images, the human analysis is tedious and inaccurate. So a tool for automatically comparing pairs of landscape photographs in order to highlight changes would be a great help for exploiting photographic landscape observatories. Obviously, lighting variations, seasonality, time of day induce completely different images at the pixel level. Our goal is to design a system which would be robust to these insignificant changes and able to detect relevant changes of the scene. Numerous studies have been conducted on change detection from satellite images. But the utilization of classic digital cameras from the ground raise some specific problems like the limitation of the spectral band number and the strong variation of the depth in a same image which induces various appearance of the same object categories depending on their position in the scene. In the first part of our work, we investigate the track of automatic change detection. We propose a method lying on the registration and the over-segmentation of the images into superpixels. Then we describe each superpixel by its texture using texton histogram and its gray-level mean. A distance measure, such as Mahalanobis distance, allows to compare corresponding superpixels between two images acquired at different dates. We evaluate the performance of the proposed approach on images taken from the photographic landscape observatory produced during the construction of the French A89 highway. Among the image segmentation methods we have tested for superpixel extraction, our experiments show the relatively good behavior of Achanta segmentation method. The relevance of a change is strongly related to the intended application, we thus investigate a second track involving a user intervention. We propose an interactive change detection method based on a learning step. In order to detect changes between two images, the user designates with a selection tool some samples consisting of pixel sets in "changed" and "unchanged" areas. Each corresponding pixel pair, i.e., located at the same coordinates in the two images, is described by a 16-dimensional feature vector mainly calculated from the dissimilarity image. The latter is computed by measuring, for each corresponding pixel pair, the dissimilarity of the gray-levels of the neighbors of the two pixels. Samples selected by the user are used as learning data to train a classifier. Among the classification methods we have tried, experimental results indicate that random forests give the better results for the tested image series
Harel-Vivier, Mathieu. "Photographies, abstraction et réalité : l'agencement comme processus artistique." Thesis, Rennes 2, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014REN20025/document.
Full textDeveloped based on questions from the author’s artistic practice, this thesis examines the relationship between some artists, mainly contemporary, and the reality of the photographic picture, its ability to produce abstraction and to fit within a display. Considered here in a double perspective, the concept of display is seen, on one hand, as the process of the artist working with pictures and, on the other hand, as an organizational model that foster a variety of connections, like constellations do.Entitled “display’s conditions”, the first part deals with photographic acting-Out, the appropriation of a picture as well as the detachment that sometimes these two actions involve like in Christian Marclay’s and Wolfgang Tillmans’s practices. As an alternative to these various movements which spur on the artist’s impetus towards reality, photographic abstraction is considered for further study through the analysis of artistic works like Pierre Cordier’s, Michael Flomen’s or James Welling’s.The second part describes how the “display of pictures” is invested by a functioning that is a feature of editingand Warburg’s atlas. Several works are observed in which the display of pictures is delimited by the frame(John Baldessari and John Stezaker) scattered through the pages of a book (Hans-Peter Feldmann’s, LuisJacob’s, Gerhard Richter’s, etc.) and spread out in the exhibition space: on the walls, the ground and tables(Pierre Leguillon, Batia Suter, Wolfgang Tillmans). The interest is finally moved on the issue of displaytransmission, its aim of non-Hierarchy, especially in the context of public and private collections exhibited(Des images comme des oiseaux, Le Mur, Les Peintres de la vie moderne).As the outcome of this text that appears beside a series of plates, a new collection of annotated and captionedphotographs is developed, dedicated to the artistic practice of the author

Full textMobilising the index side of the photographic sign, the referential press photograph is akin to a dispositif of monstration of the real, implying an espistemic promise and a pedagogical media posture. A semiodiscursive approach to press photography first attempts to understand how the hold of photographic vision and the imaginative world of technicist truth of image as proof are mis en abyme and intentionally presupposed in the testimonial strategy carried out by the discourse of media information. We shall try here to point out what triggers off this prediscourse, its enunciative marks.Following the same thread that had underlined our previous research – the princeps concept of gaze – we shall then analyse to what extent the photographs from Libération diverge from the compulsory figure of testimonial photography to stage a singular off-beat gaze of the medium upon the world. Breaking away from the conventional press standards, the strategy adopted by Libération lies upon a sophisticated photographic rewriting of current news – amounting to a real art de faire aiming at complicity with the reader. Illustrated with numerous cases in point, the typologies elaborated here enable us to decipher this strategy of differenciation at play in the building of a posture of enunciation, a photographic praxis, language habits and gimmicks, communicational objectives and finally of some functionalities of the frame which clearly mark out Libération as a distinctive daily newspaper

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study the migration of hysterical gestures as seen in Photographic Iconography of the Salpêtrière through a selection of Arthur Schnitzler’s short stories and Trude Fleischmann’s photographs. The use of Aby Warburg’s pathos formula (Pathosformel) and survival (Nachleben) is the esthetical and methodological foundation of this research. The first chapter examines the gestures of the female patients at the Salpêtrière and the context in which they emerged in Jean-Martin Charcot’s ward. Also, it recounts the paradigm shift from Charcot to Freud by questioning the transition from a visual approach to one based on listening. This mutation is analysed through cultural transfers conceived as dynamic processes for, in this journey from Paris to Vienna, a true transformation, and not just a simple circulation of hysterical gestures, operates. The second chapter studies Schnitzler’s Frau Berta Garlan, Frau Beate und ihr Sohn and Fräulein Else through the figure of the Hysterica, name given to the hysterical pattern surviving within this corpus. This concept enables Charcot’s hysterical patients to become a permanent pattern and to track the occurrences of their gestures. This part also shows that the Hysterica is torn between a hysterical movement and the risk of melancholia. Finally, the third chapter explores four of Trude Fleischmann’s photographs in the presence of the images of the Salpêtrière. This approach highlights the migration of hysterical gestures within Fleischmann’s creations, and the agency they reveal, in her photographs as well as in those taken at the Salpêtrière

Full textThis study aims to analyze the ambiguous image of contemporary Thai culture through different points of view. Our purpose is to establish an interpretation of Thai cultural identity from images. Hence, an analysis has been conducted, based on heterogeneous objects of study: photography and press cartoons created by western authors. Two complementary approaches, which are semiology and semiotics, have been elaborated. A semiological approach is used to study visual signs (iconic, plastic and linguistic) and symbolic expressions whereas a semiotic approach is applied to identify the meanings, the structural analysis and the basic isotopies. The selected images allow us to explore some Thai cultural representations such as new aspects of Buddhism, transformation in traditional practices, influence of foreign cultures, new symbolic expressions... This research also reveals the coexistence of incongruous elements in Thai cultural representation and reflects the image of the contemporary evolution of the Thai identity with its confused, undefinable and ambiguous aspects. Thailand, in the eyes of foreign observers, is a country searching for its identity, oscillating between tradition and modernity, Buddhism and capitalism, spiritual and material, identity and alterity, substance and appearance. Thai social and cultural life is presented as a dynamic in continuous transformation, which is the result of the acculturation in the globalized world and the tendency for syncretism of Thai people

Full textThis study aims at clarifying the textual coherence in four autobiographical narratives of the Surrealist Poet André Breton: Nadja, Les Vases communicants, L’Amour fou and Arcane 17, which we propose to call “bretonian tetralogy”. Our main thesis is the central importance, in this “tetralogy”, of acts and means of convincing the reader of the genuineness of Surrealism. And the author succeeds in establishing a dynamic tête-à-tête relation with his reader, which endows each narrative with its inward coherence. Photography plays a key role in this rhetoric scheme, and we put forward the interpretation of “bretonian tetralogy” as a variation of 19th century’s illustrated book modernized by the medium and visualization device. On the basis of Freud’s theory about dream and theatricality, we demonstrate that these narratives must be considered as virtual theatres since incorporated theatricality is a way of reminding and exploiting, in the shape of a text, the discourse situation underway between communication partners; Breton and his reader

Full textThe topic of my thesis is the former dwelling places of two famous Hungarian photographers, André Kertész and Brassaï. It identifies the pieces of the archives which were made in the private spaces of the artists. The identification is carried out through getting into the flats, into the spaces. Getting in touch with the present occupants is the beginning of a collective creative work. The pictures are taken in these spaces, from different point of views, but at the same time. My work is a documentation of an urban experience with a structure of a network. The research, which is built on the visual content of the archives, presents factual results and interpretational creative activity as well. Seven found interiors and the two archives have been examined, 57 pictures have been identified, which shed light on new parts of the artists’ biographies. The social requirement of the method of working up serves the collective cognition of cultural memories, the discovery of one’s own living space and the possibilities of passing them on. The act of Rephotography, points towards the future and makes the recipient think on. To interpret the relative relationship between the pictures, the thesis examines the possible representative domains of the photographical metaphor of intertextuality. It looks for analogies which enable that the works made in intervisual spirit could be compared to Genette’s intertextuality and it completes the method of arrangement with further chronological, topographical and medial theoretical schemes

Full textIt is well known that learners do not perform well in physical science. The purpose of this study was to investigate how learners interpret the role of photographs and other illustrative devices in physical science and whether learners are able to identify physical science concepts that they think are embedded in the photographs found in grade 12 physical science textbooks. The study focused on photographs found in physical science textbooks as it is clear that photographs are explicitly used in physical science textbooks as pedagogical resources. It is of great significance for learners to also understand the physical science concepts embedded in photographs.
