Abstract:

This study examines the illustrations that appear at the Office of the Dead in English Books of Hours, and seeks to understand how text and image work together in this thriving culture of commemoration to say something about how the English understood and thought about death in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The Office of the Dead would have been one of the most familiar liturgical rituals in the medieval period, and was recited almost without ceasing at family funerals, gild commemorations, yearly minds, and chantry chapel services. The Placebo and Dirige were texts that many people knew through this constant exposure, and would have been more widely known than other 'death' texts such as the Ars Moriendi. The images that are found in these books reflect wider trends in the piety and devotional practice of the time. The first half of the study discusses the images that appear in these horae, and the relationship between the text and image is explored. The funeral or vigil scene, as the most commonly occurring, is discussed with reference to contemporary funeral practices, and ways of reading a Book of Hours. Other iconographic themes that appear in the Office of the Dead, such as the Roman de Renart, the Pety Job, the Legend of the Three Living and the Three Dead, the story of Lazarus, and the life of Job, are also discussed. The second part of the thesis investigates the musical elaborations of the Office of the Dead as found in English prayer books. The Office of the Dead had a close relationship with music, which is demonstrated through an examination of the popularity of musical funerals and obits, as well as in the occurrence of musical notation for the Office in a book often used by the musically illiterate. The development of the Office of the Dead in conjunction with the development of the Books of Hours is also considered, and places the traditions and ideas that were part of the funeral process in medieval England in a larger historical context.

Abstract:

Abstract In this essay I have decided to look at two very popular vampire novels today, Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris and Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The focus of this essay is to look at the similarities and differences between these two novels and compare them to each other but also to the original legend of the vampire; this by using Dracula and other famous vampire stories to get an image of the vampire of pop-culture. I look at the features of the vampires, their abilities and different skills, and also sex and sexuality and how it is represented in these different stories. Even though the novels attract a wide audience they are written for a younger one and have a love story as its center. In this essay I give my opinion and view of the vampires and what I believe to be interesting with the morals and looks of the vampires as one of the different aspects.

Abstract:

Depuis le début de l’humanité, l’homme a pris soin de ses morts, tandis que les relations de la Mort à la photographie commencent au milieu du XIXème siècle avec l’invention de la photographie. La Mort suppose un corps mort dont on se doit de prendre soin en lui donnant une sépulture. Telle que nous la concevons, la sépulture est un dépôt intentionnel qui montre, par cet acte, l’attention que l’on porte au mort, qui conserve ainsi sa part d’humanité dans la Mort, c’est-à-dire précisément, ce que la sépulture se devrait de protéger. En proposant d’interroger les relations de la Mort à l’image du mort, à partir de la photographie et à l’aune de la sépulture, le propos de ce travail de recherche ne serait pas tant de savoir ou d’affirmer que la photographie est ou non une sépulture, mais comment la photographie peut interroger la notion même de sépulture. En retour, nous nous demandons, à partir de la sépulture, comment celle-ci serait susceptible d’induire un questionnement vis-à-vis de la photographie. La photographie comme sépulture, suppose de rapprocher la photographie de la sépulture, et d’envisager comment la photographie pourrait répondre à ce que l’on pourrait attendre d’une sépulture. À une autre échelle, nous nous demandons s’il serait possible de voir ce qui relèverait de la sépulture dans la photographie analogique à partir de l’œuvre de Christian Boltanski qui apparaît comme le fil directeur de ce travail de thèse. Parmi tous les artistes photographes qui nourrissent et guident cette réflexion, Boltanski, sans être photographe, a un cheminement artistique qui l’a conduit à se tourner vers la photographie et à réaliser des sépultures, des Monuments funéraires. Il nous offre un éclairage particulier pour aborder à la fois la photographie et la sépulture. C’est en croisant les disciplines, les points de vue, ce qui se voit et ce qui ne se voit pas, ce qui se dit et ce qui se murmure que cette thèse se donne à lire dans un tissage entre implicite et explicite
Since the beginning of mankind, man has been taking care of his dead ones, while the relationship between death and photography began in the middle of the 19th century with the invention of photography. Death supposes a dead body that one takes care of by giving it a burial. As we conceive it, burial is an intentional deposition which shows, by this act, the attention that one draws to the dead one that keeps its humanity in Death. Preservation of humanity is precisely what should be protected through burial. By proposing to question the relationship between Death and the image of the dead one, starting from photography and in the light of burial, the purpose of this research work would not be so much to know or to affirm that photography is or is not a burial, but how photography can question the very notion of burial. In return, we ask ourselves, starting from burial, how burial would be likely to induce a questioning towards the photography. Photography as a burial, supposes to bring photography closer to burial, and to consider how photography could respond to what one could expect from a burial. On a different scale, we question whether it would be possible to see what would be related to the burial in analogue photography from the work of Christian Boltanski which appears as the guiding thread of this thesis. Among all the artist-photographers who feed and guide this reflection, Boltanski, without being a photographer, has an artistic path that led him to turn to photography and create burials, funerary monuments. He offers a particular insight to approach both photography and burial. By crossing disciplines, points of view, what is seen and what is not seen, what is said and what is whispered, this thesis should be read as a weaving between implicit and explicit

Abstract:

Le rendu photo-réaliste traditionnel exige un effort manuel et des calculs intensifs pour créer des scènes et rendre des images réalistes. C'est principalement pour cette raison que la création de contenus pour l’imagerie numérique de haute qualité a été limitée aux experts et le rendu hautement réaliste nécessite encore des temps de calcul significatifs. Le rendu basé image (IBR) est une alternative qui a le potentiel de rendre les applications de création et de rendu de contenus de haute qualité accessibles aux utilisateurs occasionnels, puisqu'ils peuvent générer des images photo-réalistes de haute qualité sans subir les limitations mentionnées ci-dessus. Nous avons identifié trois limitations importantes des méthodes actuelles de rendu basé image : premièrement, chaque algorithme possède des forces et faiblesses différentes, en fonction de la qualité de la reconstruction 3D et du contenu de la scène, et un seul algorithme ne permet souvent pas d’obtenir la meilleure qualité de rendu partout dans l’image. Deuxièmement, ces algorithmes présentent de forts artefacts lors du rendu d’objets manquants ou partiellement reconstruits. Troisièmement, la plupart des méthodes souffrent encore d'artefacts visuels significatifs dans les régions de l’image où la reconstruction est de faible qualité. Dans l'ensemble, cette thèse propose plusieurs améliorations significatives du rendu basé image aussi bien en termes de vitesse de rendu que de qualité d’image. Ces nouvelles solutions sont basées sur le rendu sélectif, la substitution de modèle basé sur l'apprentissage, et la prédiction et la correction des erreurs de profondeur
Traditional photo-realistic rendering requires intensive manual and computational effort to create scenes and render realistic images. Thus, creation of content for high quality digital imagery has been limited to experts and highly realistic rendering still requires significant computational time. Image-Based Rendering (IBR) is an alternative which has the potential of making high-quality content creation and rendering applications accessible to casual users, since they can generate high quality photo-realistic imagery without the limitations mentioned above. We identified three important shortcomings of current IBR methods: First, each algorithm has different strengths and weaknesses, depending on 3D reconstruction quality and scene content and often no single algorithm offers the best image quality everywhere in the image. Second, such algorithms present strong artifacts when rendering partially reconstructed objects or missing objects. Third, most methods still result in significant visual artifacts in image regions where reconstruction is poor. Overall, this thesis addresses significant shortcomings of IBR for both speed and image quality, offering novel and effective solutions based on selective rendering, learning-based model substitution and depth error prediction and correction

Abstract:

This doctoral thesis investigates the potential of classification methods based on spatial context to infer specific forms of land use from remote sensing data. The problem is that some types of land use are characterized by a complex configuration of land covers that traditional per-pixel based methods have problems classifying due to spectral heterogeneity. The problem of spectral heterogeneity is also present in classification of high resolution imagery. Two novel methods based on contextual information are evaluated, Spatial Relational Post-Classification (SRPC) and Window Independent Context Segmentation (WICS). The thesis includes six case studies in rural and urban areas focusing on the classification of: agricultural systems, urban characteristics, and dead wood areas. In the rural case studies specific types of agricultural systems associated with different household strategies are mapped by inferring the physical expression of land use using the SRPC method. The urban remote sensing studies demonstrate how the WICS method is able to extract information corresponding to different phases of development. Additionally, different urban classes are shown to correspond to different socioeconomic profiles, demonstrating how urban remote sensing can be used to make a connection between the physical environment and the social lives of residents. Finally, in one study the WICS method is used to successfully classify dead trees from high resolution imagery. Taken together these studies demonstrate how approaches based on spatial context can be used to extract information on land use in rural and urban environments where land use manifests itself in the form of complex spectral class and land cover patterns. The thesis, thus, contributes to the research field by showing that contextual methods can capture multifaceted patterns that can be linked to land use. This, in turn, enables an increased use of remote sensing data, particularly in the social sciences.

At the time of the doctoral defense, the following papers were unpublished and had a status as follows: Paper 3: Manuscript. Paper 4: Manuscript. Paper 5: Manuscript. Paper 6: Manuscript.

Historicamente e culturalmente, corpos mais pesados foram por vezes considerados sinônimos de beleza, fortuna e até saúde. Recentemente, apesar da natureza obesificante das sociedades neoliberais, que nos oferece uma grande variedade de comidas industrializadas, além de exigir que tenhamos uma vida mais sedentária, o indivíduo magro e autorregulado é de grande valor. Autoridades públicas, como governos, instituições de saúde e profissionais da medicina, refletem as crenças da sociedade ao aprovar a conexão entre gordura e falta de saúde. O objetivo do presente trabalho é analisar leis brasileiras e da União Europeia que tratam de sobrepeso e obesidade para compreender como esses dois conceitos e a relação entre peso e saúde são discursivamente construídos. Para tal, foram utilizados conceitos da Análise Crítica do Discurso e categorias analíticas de Legitimação no Discurso, propostas por Van Leeuwen (2007). Os resultados revelaram que a legislação brasileira não define claramente o que é obesidade, fazendo com que se torne um termo vago, dando margem a interpretações socais e culturais ao invés de considerar explicações biológicas, médicas e socioeconômicas. Também foi possível concluir que a abordagem do sistema legal da União Europeia acerca da obesidade é focada em hábitos alimentares e atividade física, ou seja, em prevenção, enquanto o sistema legal brasileiro refere-se à obesidade principalmente em termos de diagnóstico e tratamento. Por fim, este estudo revelou que o normalizado atualmente é a noção de que a obesidade é resultado de escolhas individuais, de hábitos alimentares ruins e um estilo de vida sedentário e inativo. Além disso, as autoridades escolhem ignorar outros fatores nocivos à saúde e, em oposição, recorrem a instruir indivíduos a monitorar seus hábitos de alimentação, exercício e vida em geral.

Abstract : Historically and culturally, heavier bodies have been considered a synonym of beauty, wealth and even health. More recently, despite the obesifying nature of neoliberal societies, which provide us with a wide variety of industrialized/fast/processed food, but also requires that we lead a more sedentary life, the thin self-regulating individual is of high value. Public authorities, such as governments, health institutions and medical practitioners, reflect society?s beliefs by endorsing the connection between fatness and unhealthiness. The objective of this study is to analyze Brazilian and European Union laws regarding overweight and obesity in order to understand how these two concepts and the relation between weight and health are construed through discourse. In order to do that, I rely on Critical Discourse Analysis and the Legitimation in Discourse framework proposed by Van Leeuwen (2007). The results revealed that the Brazilian legislation does not clearly define obesity and, by doing so, makes it a vague term, leaving room for discursive, social and cultural interpretations, rather than relying on biological, medical and socio-economic explanations. The analysis also indicates that the approach of the European Union legal system towards obesity is focused on eating habits and physical activity, that is, on prevention, while the Brazilian legal system addresses obesity primarily in terms of diagnosis and treatment . Finally, the study revealed that what is normalized nowadays is the notion that obesity is the result of the individuals' choices, of bad eating habits and sedentary and inactive lifestyles. Moreover, the authorities choose to ignore other factors that are harmful to health and, instead, rely on instructing individuals to monitor their eating, exercising and living habits.

Syfte och forskningsfrågor Denna studie har till syfte att undersöka hur independent artister tänker kring verktyget autenticitet och vilka faktorer som kan bidra till att skapa en autentisk grafisk profil. Metod Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ forskningsmetod och grundar sig i en abduktiv ansats med deduktiva inslag. Studiens empiriska data utgörs av 6 semistrukturerade intervjuer med independent artister. Slutsats Autenticitet skapas naturligt genom artistens självständiga motivation, passion och drivkraft eftersom artisten tycker det är roligt att skapa musik och en visuell image. Artister kan vara autentiska samtidigt som de vill bli framgångsrika så länge det finns en balans och fokus på det kreativa skapandet.

Abstract:

Dead languages present a case where the original language community no longer exists. This results in a language for which the evidence is limited by the paucity of surviving texts and in which no new linguistic uses can be generated. Ludwig Wittgenstein argued that the meaning of language is simply its use by a language community. On this view a dead language is coextensive with the existing corpus, with the linguistic dynamic provided by the community of readers. Donald Davidson argued that the meaning of language is not conventional, but rather is discovered in a dynamic process of â passing theoriesâ generated by the speaker and listener. On this view a dead language is incomplete, because such dynamic theories can only be negotiated by participating in a living language community and are thus not captured by the extant corpus. We agree with Davidsonâ s view of theories of meaning and conclude that our interpretations of dead languages will suffer epistemological underdetermination that removes any guarantee that they reflect the meanings as heard by the original language community.

They fall into two basic types, apotropaic and chaotic. Chaotic beings are those who try to destroy the created world while apotropaic beings protect against this threat. The deceased has to pass tests, usually based on mythical knowledge, before the apotropaic entities will allow him to pass. Once he passes them by they protect him also. I consider the Egyptian conception of the personality as it is this which is threatened and so identifies the nature of the threat. I look at the body and heart in some detail as these were aspects which the Egyptians clearly felt were in special danger or were even potentially dangerous in themselves, as is the case with the heart. There is a further significance here for I show that the chaotic beings who threaten creation can also take on aspects of the personality. They partake of creation and threaten the Universe from within. This material reality was also their downfall because it left them exposed to the threat which they posed - destruction of the personality. In the BD, very material measures are used against these beings. A chaotic being would destroy the deceased by instinctive reaction as the deceased, presumed by his copy of the BD to be part of the ordered world, was so different from the chaotic state of being that there could be no reconciliation. In the same way an apotropaic God would destroy a chaotic being instinctively - the deceased included if he failed their test. The two types of enemy are inherently different but the threat that each poses for the deceased is the same - destruction of the personality which means the second death.

Abstract:

This thesis takes a longue dureé approach to the manifold ways in which those engaging with English cathedrals have been able to physically interact with the bodies, burials, and monuments of the dead. Three themes are explored to that effect: Haptic Experiences, Haptic Interactions, and Haptic Connections. Haptic Experiences takes a fresh, nuanced look at the evolution of English shrine architecture in relation to tensions between the sight and touch of pilgrims. Haptic Interactions employs new and different data surveyed from monuments within five cathedral interiors: historic graffiti, iconoclastic damage, and haptic erosion and staining. This is explored through a lens of touch as a component of early modern masculinities. Haptic Connections explores the presencing of the absent and displaced dead through touch and bodiliness of both the living and the dead in the (late) modern cathedral. Such an approach requires a multi-strand methodology, harnessing archaeological and documentary evidence, and multiple datasets. This allows the thesis to examine both period-specific practices and recurring themes of touch and emotion, identity, and re-connection which have been central to haptic explorations of the dead in past and present incarnations of the English cathedral.

Abstract:

Denna rapport handlar om dead reckoning i bilspel. En rad nätverkstekniker tas upp grundligt, och fem olika versioner av dead reckoning implementeras, provkörs och utvärderas. En nätverkssimulator har skapats för att provköra algoritmerna i och datan från dessa provkörningar ligger till grunden för en analys av de olika implementationerna. De testas bland annat mot konsistens och bandbreddsåtgång. SimBins GTR Evolution har använts för att spela in loppen, och rapporten inriktar sig på hur dead reckoning fungerar i detta spel.

Abstract:

För att ett företag ska kunna hålla sig flytande på marknaden idag krävs de att de har hundra procent koll på vad som sker i deras fabriker och att de strävar efter en mer hållbar tillverkningsprocess. Att försäkra konsumenterna om att fabrikerna inte använder sig av barnarbete eller dåliga arbetsförhållanden räcker inte längre utan det krävs en bredare kunskap inom miljö och hållbar utveckling för att den trogna kunden ska stanna. Syftet med denna rapport är att kontrollera det nyuppstartade företaget DENIM IS DEAD’s produktion och utvärdera om hur man kan förädla de olika processtegen samt skapa transparens gentemot kund.Metoden som arbetet utformades efter var genom en fallstudie som är baserad på en mestadels deduktiv metod men med inslag av induktiv metod. Där grunden lades genom en utförlig faktainsamling för att i rapportens senare del kunna analysera de hypoteser och problemformuleringar som ställts.Målet med rapporten var att ta fram en metod eller produkt som ska underlätta kommunikationen med DENIM IS DEAD’s kund. Resultatet av detta blev en prototyp på en hang-‐tag och en broschyr, som ska följa med varje par jeans som hamnar i butik. Där ska information gällande deras produkt och produktion finnas med.Resultatet av vår studie visade att många företag idag arbetar mot en tydlig miljöprofil som de profilerar både i sin interna och externa kommunikation. En tydlig trend vi såg var att konsumenten blir mer medveten av kvaliten i deras köp och sätter mer press på producenterna.Environmentally friendly and sustainable are keywords for companies with consumers becoming more and more enlightened. Just ensuring that the production follows local laws and doesn’t use child labour is no longer enough. A brand must be prepared to adapt their production to follow environmental regulation and can also get an edge by going one step further.We have focused production process within the jeans industry and have done a case study by gathering facts to enable us to analyse and discuss the various production issues within the jeans industry.One of our goals was to map the production of the company DENIM IS DEAD and find a simple way of communicating their profile to the consumer in a transparent way. We came up with a hang-‐tag that allows them to profile their brand and their production process. Our study showed that many companies use an environmental/sustainable profile in both their internal and external marketing campaigns. Many of today’s consumers value quality and sustainability above price and this puts pressure on the producers.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (page [77]).
This thesis seeks to reimagine the space for the anonymous dead in New York City by proposing a new scenario for burial on Manhattan, which reconnects the alienated community and program to the heart of the city and other civic activities. The construction of the architecture proceeds as the substances transformed from human bodies accumulate. The processes of the transformation are embraced to perform new rituals for the anonymous New Yorkers. Meanwhile the architecture decays and deteriorates as its self-weight grows. Such cyclical processes continue to happen on the site. Urbanistically, the thesis argues that the status quo of anonymous burial is spatially circumscribed and finite, geographically dispelled and demographically unequal, and there's a conflict between the scarce space for the living and the dead, as part of the "ever-accumulating past" of the city. Thus attempts to generate a new urban dynamic should be made. Moreover, using death space as one incidence, the thesis intends to criticize Manhattan's habit of expelling and outsourcing unwanted infrastructual elements at the expense of sacrificing other landscapes instead of absorbing and resolving the issues. Architecturally, it challenges the typology of a cemetery as a picturesque park that has been embraced to cover up the deceased since 18th century despite the continuous urbanization, and explores alternative configuration, materiality, spatial quality and events associated with the burial process.

Abstract:

Where the Dead Remain is a murder mystery set in a Post-Katrina New Orleans where the gods, magic and monsters of various world mythologies actually exist. The story follows a week in the life of Jude Duboisson, a once magician who is struggling with the loss of his magic and the life he had known in the wake of the storm, as he is pulled out of his torpor and into the affairs of the mighty once again. He is tasked with discovering who murdered Dodge Renaud, the fortune god of New Orleans. What he discovers, though, are some surprising truths about the fundamental nature of things: about loss, about New Orleans, and about himself.
