Abstract:

In an age where the historical event is mediated increasingly through the still and moving image, new stress is placed on the archival image as surviving evidence of and performer of history. Lost Film Found Film asks what the scope is for re-intervention by artists who engage with the documentary archival. What is found in their reappropriation? What is lost in the remix? Through a discussion of key works by Jean-Luc Godard, Hito Steyerl, Harun Farocki, Jayce Salloum, Johan Grimonprez and Eyal Sivan, Lost Film Found Film offers a definition and a description of what I have called the Cinema of Aftermath. I define this as cinema that evolved in the aftermath of the Second World War, that deploys found footage film not only as a form of critique but also as a form of participation in wider historical and political events. I argue that the Cinema of Aftermath comments on politics and is also political. Central to its project is a questioning of the potency of the archival image in both its self-reflexive and wider cultural use. In three chapters, I explore how the Cinema of Aftermath recalibrates the meaning and renews the formal possibilities of the documentary, and analyse the performance of memory, truth and evidence by this aestheticisation of archival image.

Abstract:

South African society has been preoccupied with educating and finding jobs for its volatile youth generation. This Indicator SA special report looks beyond the institutional settings of school and work, focusing instead on how young people use their leisure time. The leisure prospects of black urban youth in their teens and early twenties has been researched by the Youth Centre Project (YCP) of the Centre for Social and Development Studies at the University of Natal. This seminal three year research and development project was carried out between 1988 and 1991 with sponsorship from Germany's Konrad Adenauer Foundation. Leisure might be considered a lightweight issue compared to other pressing problems in South African society. Not so, the YCP research shows that leisure has an important role to play in developing the new South Africa. Indeed, leisure is a critical issue for the youth which can either spell hope and opportunity or frustration and regression into crime and violence. Multiple phases of research were undertaken at the national and local level among rank and file black youth to address the many facets of leisure in township and peri-urban settings: • A nationwide time use survey recorded the leisure activities of young people in the 16-24 years age bracket and inquired into attitudes towards leisure and lifestyles. The study for which participants kept activity diaries, may be the first of its kind in South Africa. • Smaller scale investigations in the Durban Functional Region (DFR) looked into the leisure resources available and the human potential to make optimal use of leisure opportunities: • Youth groups and clubs operating in the DFR were the focus of a special youth self-help intervention. A regional youth group, the YCP Working Group, formed to serve the training and development needs of existing youth clubs in the DFR. • A special study was made of the particular leisure needs of young people living in four shack areas in the DFR. Several studies focused on venues for youth to meet, including the need for a regional youth centre in the Pinetown area. An inventory of DFR leisure facilities compiled for the project revealed the mismatch between existing leisure facilities and young people's views on ideal leisure venues. • A nationwide poll among all population groups confirmed the need for multi-purpose neighbourhood youth centres which offer educational as well as recreational leisure outlets. This special report addresses several leisure dilemmas facing South Africa today. Leisure is an elusive concept which is difficult to define. Our findings indicate that leisure means much more than recreation or play to young people. Educational and learning experiences are attractive but neglected leisure options which may have greater appeal than pure recreational pastimes. The evidence suggests that this is not 'a lost generation' but one starved for meaningful leisure outlets. Semi-leisure is the concept introduced to convey this more serious side to leisure activities. The inquiry concludes that marrying semi-leisure with pure leisure may go a long way towards meeting youth demands for constructive leisure at home, in youth groups, and in community centres and projects. The research findings reveal tensions between the leisure needs of young men and women, between youth in and out of jobs, between church and politicised youth, and between township and shackland youth. The dilemma is how to apply an equity solution to meet the spare time needs of youth from these diverse backgrounds. Airing these leisure dilemmas represents an important first step towards formulating a leisure policy for the new era. The case studies and commentaries in this special report demonstrate that rank and file black youth, in spite of the political violence, state repression during the emergency period, and social neglect, are amazingly adept at using their leisure creatively. Clearly, this potential calls for the formulation of an equally imaginative national leisure policy to enable South African youth to realise their dreams and aspirations.

Abstract:

This creative arts research project investigates contemporary material culture through a study of lost property collected at a number of New South Wales arts centres both before and after the advent of COVID-19. The focus on New South Wales arts centres was developed to provide a structure for the project that utilised existing network connections and resources. The nature of an object that is first lost and then found evokes and implies a complex series of associations related to memory and experience. This study suggests that with the application of museum practices or protocols and studio production, each separate collection of lost objects inherently develops its own taxonomy as a collection of artifacts. Significantly the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is measured by transformation in the symbolic register of these humble "lost property" objects when examined through a curatorial lens and with their material translation to the status of contemporary art.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a cultural tour of the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia. It is concerned with the way in which Europeans employed stories to claim land and, conversely, their fears that the land would claim them.The stories considered are taken from literature and folk legend. The concept of liminality is important to the work because the mountains are a threshold, a demarcation between the city and the bush. Allied with the notion of liminality in the mountains is that of the uncanny (as defined by Freud). The work is divided into four sections. The first section, A POCKET GUIDE, introduces the terrain to be traversed. Section 2, FOUND, centres around the notion of foundation. Section 3, PASSAGE, links LOST and FOUND. LOST is the converse of FOUND. It explores our fears that the land will consume us.This fear is often expressed in the notion that the bush, beneath a surface beauty, has a dark and dangerous aspect and that it will swallow up the unwary. This idea is evident in the notion of possession - that a certain place can take hold of a person and induce a prescribed response from them - and of haunting, in which a spirit is tied to a specific location.

Abstract:

This qualitative research was motivated by the desire to understand how conservation work can engage our psychic connection to the more-than-human. The work used grounded theory and phenomenological methodologies; data was gathered with interviews and arts-based inquiry and analyzed through the lenses of depth psychologically oriented ecopsychology and community psychology. Participants included artists, storytellers, and biologists who have created work about wolves and live in the southern portion of the Yellowstone to Yukon corridor in North America. The research specifically explored what calls artists to create work about wolves, and how their work expresses a sense of interconnection with wolves. The findings suggested that when an artist has a strong sensitivity to the more-than-human, their art-making gives them a channel to express this and supports the development of their individual identity. Additionally, four key themes arose in the dialogues with the artists: embracing a sense of community, providing context, connecting with place, and playing with the Western cultural boundary between humans and other animals. Conservation projects could benefit from these findings by consciously embracing these same ideas in their work using what this research defines as Critical Conservation Communication.” While it is impossible to prove that art directly contributes to conservation goals, this work proposes that art can remind us of our connection to other animals and the life beyond human-constructed reality. This imaginal reconstruction of an ecological orientation can be an ally to conservation goals in Western culture.

The United States has resettled unaccompanied minors before. In the 1960s and 1970s, minors from Indochina were resettled in the United States. In the 1970s, the U.S accepted 14,000 unaccompanied minors from Cuba through Operation Peter Pan. Many of these Cuban minors, aged five to eighteen, were sent to the United States by parents fearing their children would be indoctrinated in communist schools. In the case of these minors, they arrived in the United States with the consent of their still-living family members. In contrast, about 3,500 Sudanese Lost Boys were resettled in the United States in 2000, and more recently in 2010, 53 “lost children” from Haiti were brought to the United States following a devastating earthquake. This study investigated the integration and assimilation patterns of the Sudanese Lost Boys in the Kansas City area with the purpose of understanding the sociological impact on these Boys from their own perspective. As opposed to previous studies done on these Boys in Kansas and other areas in the United States, the present study used interview-based research and analyzed data using both qualitative and quantitative research methodologies. The study concluded that the Lost Boys were both “Lost” and “Found” in complex ways. The study found that unaccompanied refugees labeled as minors at the time of resettlement integrated more “successfully” than those resettled as adults. Minor Boys received certain advantages over Boys who were labeled legal adults. Over time, those resettled as minors accumulated more social capital relevant in American society, while those resettled as legal adults fell behind. The findings highlighted problems associated with age-based treatment of refugees, especially in the case of the Boys who were arbitrarily classified as adults. Assigned ages significantly impacted their assimilation process into American society. Unlike those Boys resettled as minors, legal adults did not have access to structure and immersion opportunities afforded by foster families, formal education, and social activities. This study concluded that age-based disadvantage was evident in the case of the Lost Boys.

Abstract:

Is it possible to tell stories? This was a Walter Benjamins concern, who used to notice the decline of traditional narration in modernity era, specially that related to continuous experience shared by narrator among the listeners in oral communities. Benjamin believed that the descontinuous and fragmented experience of shocking, a typical feature of big cities, had been imposing as a formal principle in the aesthics of cinema. This dissertation is aimed at investigating how cinematroghaphic essays News from home (1977), by Chantal Akerman, and Lost book found (1996), by Jem Cohen, still bring out the possibility of narration through technical image. Besides this, our hypothesis is that they unveiled new ways of narratives from the resource to free indirect subjetive of such a way that sticks out the view of a characters in stylistic aspects. We consider that these essayists develop multifaceted narrators because they joined to th concept of free indirect subjetive beyond character's view: News from home and Lost book found shape the urban collective experience. This allows an openess of essay towards another narratives. These essays reinvent, though, the isolation in that town, which could contribute to a decline in experience. Moreover, they enact an anynomous experience amidst a crowd wandering the metropolis.
Ainda é possível narrar? Essa era uma preocupação de Walter Benjamin, que atestava o declínio da narrativa tradicional na modernidade, tendo em vista a decadência da experiência contínua, compartilhada pelo narrador junto aos seus ouvintes nas comunidades onde predominam a transmissão sustentada pela oralidade. Benjamin acreditava que a experiência descontínua e fragmentária do choque, típica das metrópoles, se impunha como princípio formal na estética do cinema. O que propomos investigar no presente estudo é de que modo os ensaios cinematográficos News from home (1977), de Chantal Akerman, e Lost book found (1996), de Jem Cohen, que apresentam autorretratos de estrangeiros que migraram para Nova Iorque, trazem à tona a possibilidade de ainda narrar, por meio da imagem técnica - através, segundo nossa hipótese, do recurso à subjetiva indireta livre, de maneira a aderir ao olhar de um personagem em termos estilísticos. A nosso ver, esses ensaístas criam narradores multifacetados, pois incorporam a subjetiva indireta livre indo além do olhar do personagem: News from home e Lost book found dão forma à experiência coletiva urbana, promovendo uma abertura do ensaio para muitas outras narrativas possíveis. Esses ensaios reconfiguram, assim, o isolamento dos indivíduos na metrópole, fator que contribuiria para a decadência da experiência, e encenam a experiência anônima em meio à multidão que perambula pela grande cidade.

Full text

Abstract:

While theoretical models of transgender identity development exist, theoretical models of post-transition social identity development are limited, and theoretical models of transgender individuals transitioning in later life are absent. As such, the purpose of this study is to explore the experience of transgender individuals coming out later in life, often after decades of hiding. Their experiences give voice to the trans community to define self-fulfillment as a transgender person post-transition. Additionally, this study explores the obstacles transgender elders navigate in middle and later life.

Using a semi-structured interview guide with 42 transgender elders 55 years and older, respondents constructed chronological narratives of their lived experiences. The data was analyzed using Charmaz’ (2004) Constructionist Grounded Theory method. The findings from this study support Breakwell’s (1986) Identity Process Theory (IPT) and explain how the study participants coped with threatened identities (Breakwell, 1983).

Additionally, the findings explain how Breakwell’s theory of identity integration and Amiot et al.’s (2007) theory of discrete stages of change lead to integrated social identities. The model that emerged in the findings expands the scope of social identity integration. The model I propose, Reflexive Authenticity, expands by adding an additional stage. Therefore, increasing to five stages of social identity development and implement action/interaction strategies with conditions and consequences at each stage.

Qualitative analysis of interview narratives revealed two distinct participant categories: Compartmentalized Social Identity and Integrated Social Identity. The essential difference between the two groups was participation in transgender advocacy or activism to support and mobilize the transgender community. This study sheds new light on the post-transition phase and the role that reflexive authenticity plays in transgender individuals’ integrated social identity. The theoretical implications suggest that political activity and commitment to building social and political acceptance of the transgender community are important facilitators of developing an integrated social identity.

The transgender elders in this study described early coping mechanisms they used to protect threatened core identities, the obstacles and barriers they faced along the way, and their journeys toward living authentically. These findings have important implications for the development of future research, policies, and interventions that support transgender individuals.

Abstract:

Tibor Idrányi (1896–1974) was a well-known and much-admired Hungarian composer. He studied at the Royal National Academy of Music in Budapest under Zoltán Kodály. Today, however, his music has been forgotten. I discovered the music of Idrányi in 1992 in Budapest. The daughter-in-law of the composer had found numerous compositions in the attic of her home, which she offered to me. Looking over these compositions, I knew that I had found something very significant and worthy of preservation and wider dissemination. The purpose of my research is: - to examine the life and surviving music of Idrányi, asking: Who was Idrányi? What did he compose? What is his significance today? - to locate and catalogue all Idrányi’s extant compositions and sketches, along with any references to works which have been lost. - to focus on Idrányi’s orchestral music and create a critical edition with a scholarly apparatus for his composition Szimfonikus előjátek (Symphonic Prelude) Op.32 (1941). - to present this work in public performance. In addition to studying all available information and documentation owned by the Idrányi family, I have conducted extensive searches to retrieve as much information about the composer and his life as is still extant, including undertaking an interview with his daughter-in-law. The story of his life along with his compositions, painting and his standing as a violinist reveal a multifaceted and fascinating figure, who lived through an extraordinary period in Hungarian and European history. It is my hope that my research will lead to Idrányi’s music being performed and heard, taking its place in the wider musical canon.

Full text

Abstract:

This dissertation uses a relational approach and a contentious politics framework to examine the archaeological record. Methodologically, it merges spatial and social network analyses to promote a geosocial archaeology. Combined, the articles create a counter-narrative that highlights how environmentally focused investigations fail to explain how and why societies in the Southwest often reorganize horizontally. The first article uses geosocial networks, which I argue represent memory maps, to reveal that the socially important, and sophisticated, act of forgetting was employed by people in the Gallina region during A.D. 1100–1300. A concomitant community level, settlement pattern analysis demonstrates similarities between the arrangement of Gallina and Basketmaker-era settlements. These historically situated settlement structures, combined with acts of forgetting, were used by Gallina region residents to institute and maintain a horizontally organized social movement that was likely aimed at rejecting the hierarchical social atmosphere in the Four Corners region. The second article proposes that as ideologically charged material goods are consumed, fissures within past ideological landscapes are revealed and that these fissures can demonstrate acts of resistance in the archaeological past. It also contends that social and environmental variables need to be combined for these conflicting religious and political practices to be correctly interpreted. The third article applies many of the ideas outlined in the second article to a case study in the Greater Southwest during A.D. 1200–1450. Fractures in the ideological landscape demonstrate that the Salado Phenomenon was a religious social movement formed around, and successful because of, its populist nature. Based on variations in how the Salado ideology interacted with contemporaneous hierarchical and non-hierarchical religious and political organizations it is probable that the Salado social movement formed around desires for the open access to religious knowledge.

Abstract:

This dissertation examines issues of neo-Confederate collective memory, heritage, and geographical imagination within the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. I analyze a whole range of material cultural practices throughout the entire region centered on the memory of the Civil War including monuments, battlefields, museum exhibits, burial rituals, historical reenactments, paintings, and dramatic performances. These mnemonic sites and rituals throughout the Great Valley of Virginia serve to circulate a dominant and mythologized reading of the Civil War past, one that emphasizes the Lost Cause myth of the Confederacy. In addition to uncovering neo-Confederate forms of memorialization, I also examine how normative lessons of morality, honor, patriotism, masculinity, and hyper-militarism become naturalized as a result of Lost Cause remembrance. The dissertation combines qualitative, practice-based modes of research with a Foucauldian influenced archival methodology that attempts to uncover particular silenced and alternative versions of the past that do not fit with normative version of heritage.

Abstract:

Publisher version
This article critically evaluates the ChiNdau–English and English–ChiNdau Vocabulary: With Grammatical Notes, a bilingual dictionary published in 1915 by the American Board Mission (Rhodesian Branch), with a view of determining its suitability for use as a point of departure for modern Ndau lexicography. More than a century after its publication, it remains the only dictionary in the language. The language has been treated as a dialect of Shona for close to a century, until its emergence as one of the country's sixteen officially-recognized languages in the 2013 Constitution of Zimbabwe. This landmark development requires practical work that can transform Ndau into a fully-fledged and intellectualized language. Lexicography is one of the key intellectual enterprises that can contribute in this regard. It is therefore the contention of this article that the existing dictionary be considered as a vital point of reference for future lexicographic work in Ndau. An analysis of various aspects of the dictionary indicate that, notwithstanding some limitations, this dictionary indeed managed to set some standards that may be incorporated in current and future lexicographic works in this less documented language.

Abstract:

Incorrect classification of silent transfer (STF) patients as lost to follow-up (LTF) negatively impacts accurate assessment of retention in care for antiretroviral (ART) programmes. Understanding reasons why patients STF and what proportion of LTF patients constitute this silent transfer phenomenon is necessary to ensure patient continuity of care. We attempted to identify STF patients using the routine government electronic monitoring systems. Furthermore, we sought to identify potential reasons for the STF phenomenon through patient surveys and healthcare provider interviews, in order to guide policy and improve programmatic outcomes. In this mixed methods approach, we selected patients identified as LTF between 2008-2012 in three health facilities from Khayelitsha, Western Cape. Identified patients were subsequently searched for using a combined provincial patient data set. Once consent was obtained, sampling of patients and healthcare providers, using convenience and snowballing methods respectively, were selected for participation. Ninety percent of patients believe it necessary to inform facility staff of the intent to transfer, 56% of patients interviewed cited fear of negative attitudes from staff regarding transfer request (65%), family situations (30%), and long waiting times (11%) as contributing factors to silently transferring care between facilities. Healthcare providers cited stigma, family obligations and/or support, and migration to the Eastern Cape as main reasons for patients transferring. Healthcare providers cited incomplete or lack of transfer documentation as the biggest barrier to timeous treatment of the transfer patient. Incorrect reporting of patients as lost to follow-up negatively affects the treatment programmes retention in care. Negative staff attitudes and poor operational services prevent patients informing staff of transfer intent. The treatment programme must adapt current transfer policies in order to facilitate the transfer process for all patients, including those experiencing emergencies and life events. Linked electronic patient monitoring systems will improve accurate retention in care reporting and improve fluidity of transferring of patients between health services.

Abstract:

Bibliography: leaves 60-71.
Objective: There is an urgent need to conduct community based research into the issue of youth development in a post-apartheid South Africa. The aim of this study is to explore the problems, needs I and experiences of youth in Atlantis using an action research approach. Method: A purposive convenience sample of 15 youth between the ages of 12 and 21 were interviewed using semi-structured in-depth interviews (average length 70 minutes). In addition, two focus groups were held. The data were analysed using descriptive analysis and open coding. The descriptive results were fed back at a workshop open to all youth in Atlantis. Results: The problems cited most frequently included the lack of recreational facilities, unemployment and family disintegration. These problems were validated at the workshop and a process designed to address the problems was set in motion. Needs identified included the need for a teen-centre and various inter-relational needs. Conclusions: Some features of this sample of youth are considered and recommendations for the implementation of results and further research are offered.

Leila Aghakhani Chianeh’s book, Lost and Found, is inevitably international in scope, as it is set at the Lost and Found counter of the airport of Venice, where the stories of her many characters all intertwine. Drawing from an interest towards the English language that is already present in the original Italian book, I was inspired to translate and this book into English. In a certain sense, my work would be more than a translation: a re-translation, for the most part, since many of the conversations from which the events in the book draw inspiration probably happened in the lingua franca and were later transcribed by the author in Italian. Moreover, most chapter titles are internationally understandable, being either written in English or representing toponyms. My work will not just entail translating the book into English, though: it will also include an analysis of the background of the text and the context that has created it and a comment on a few of the stories which appear to be particularly relevant to the aspect of translation.

This recheach deals with concepts and aesthetic characteristics of Scenic Music for Percussion. This is a look at performative possibilities in the performance of the contemporary percussionist, with regard to scenic musical works. One of the objectives of the work was to present and discuss concepts related to Scenic Music for Percussion, with the intention of contributing to a conceptual and performative understanding. As a methodology, a bibliographical research was carried out that helped us to construct our conceptual positioning, having as analogous references some aesthetic currents of avant-garde art from the 20th century. The research also resulted in the presentation and discussion of the concepts of Martins (2015), Serale (2011), Huang (2011) and Hansen (2014) about the theme and we propose a list with different nomenclatures used by several authors to designate Scenic Music. In this way, we present our positioning regarding the conceptualization and characterization of Scenic Music for Percussion. Finally, an interpretative analysis of Frederic Rzewski's Lost and Found (1985) was carried out, taking account all the discussion prior to this analysis.
Este trabalho aborda conceitos e características estéticas da Música Cênica para Percussão.

Um dos objetivos do trabalho foi o de expor e discutir conceitos referentes à Música Cênica para Percussão, com a intenção de contribuir para um entendimento conceitual e performativo. Como metodologia realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica que nos auxiliou a construir o nosso posicionamento conceitual tendo como referenciais análogos algumas correntes estéticas da arte de vanguarda do séc. XX. A pesquisa também resultou na apresentação e discussão dos conceitos de Martins (2015), Serale (2011), Huang (2011) e Hansen (2014) sobre o tema. Foi criado uma lista com diferentes nomenclaturas usadas por diversos autores para designar a Música Cênica, o que nos possibilitou embasamento para nosso posicionamento quanto à conceituação e caracterização da Música Cênica para Percussão. Finalmente, foi realizada uma análise interpretativa da obra Lost and Found (1985) de Frederic Rzewski (1938-), levando-se em consideração toda a discussão anterior a esta análise.

Abstract:

This is a study of how three national newspapers in Indonesia frame and build the frames of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reportage. Indonesia is one out of the 193 countries who signed the SDGs, which is a form of a globalization project. Using the Critical Discourse Analysis, several articles from Kompas, The Jakarta Post (the JP), and Media Indonesia (MI) are analyzed. By using Lecheller and de Vreese’s stages of framing model, findings of the CDA are then explained and put into the context of frame-building. CDA is also applied through interviewing the editors-in chief to apprehend the professional ideology of media institutions which influences the frame-building and the form of frames in the news. The study finds that frame in the news of the SDGs reportage in Kompas, MI, and the JP thematizing Indonesia’s achievements within three main themes namely gender equality, partnership, and environment. The introverted domestications with domestic outlook dominate the SDGs reportage. According to the editorial policy makers in the newspapers, the frame-building of frequent absence of the global outlook and extraverted domestication are influenced by the target readers (Kompas), reader’s occupation and limited human and financial resources (the JP), and the editorial policy of supporting the government (the JP and MI).

Abstract:

Electro-acoustic music composition makes it possible for composers to manipulate sounds with the computer with either alone or both live and prerecorded sounds. From the end of the 19th century when the first electronic devices for performing music were developed up till today, transformations in music technology keep surfacing and the possibilities with working with sounds have become endless. Electro-acoustic music has the ability to conjure mental images using vast sound manipulation techniques using the DAW(Digital audio workstation) and sound amplification through loudspeakers. Every space in our environment has its unique sound/s. Lost and found through these techniques provides an insight to a space which seems distant by geographical location but closer through sound.

Among the current media forms, the alternate reality games (ARG) is in the spotlights due its capability of giving a ludic experience with strong immersive qualities. Setting its fictional world in sync with everyday reality, the ARG seeks to smear the border between fiction and non-fiction, in order to intensify the experience of the audience. This research analyzes the immersion strategies of alternate reality games based on the study of The Lost Experience (LTE), with the purpose of understanding how the immersion process on the fictional world created by ARGS occurs. Therefore, the main characteristics of alternate reality games are studied, from its main principles established in order to make accessible the fictional world connected to the everyday life of the players, trough the interface of the media. In this process, the concept of immersion is problematized, in order to understand the extension this term receives in front of some perspectives that denote its nature. Visions that lead to a common denominator that connects the notion of immersion with the pleasure of being involved in a sensorial, cognitive and emotional degree towards external stimuli, that as an answer leads an action over the experienced environment. The analysis of the immersion strategies in The Lost Experience helps in the comprehension of how it sets up its fictional world in touch with everyday life, with the goal of creating immersive zones that allows the interaction of players with the elements of its universe.

Nesta pesquisa são analisadas as estratégias de imersão dos jogos de realidade alternada a partir de um estudo de The Lost Experience (LTE), com o objetivo de compreender como ocorre o processo de imersão no mundo ficcional criado pelo ARG. Assim, são pesquisadas as principais características que constituem os jogos de realidade alternada, partindo de seus principais preceitos estabelecidos de modo a tornar acessível um mundo ficcional conectado o cotidiano de seus jogadores através da interface dos meios de comunicação. Neste processo, o conceito de imersão é problematizado, a fim de compreender a extensão que esse termo adquire diante de algumas perspectivas que denotem sua natureza. Visões que conduzem a um denominador comum que liga a noção de imersão ao prazer de estar envolvido sensorialmente, cognitivamente e emocionalmente com estímulos externos, que como resposta conduzem a ações sobre o ambiente vivenciado. As análises das estratégias de imersão em The Lost Experience auxiliam na compreensão de como ele configura seu mundo ficcional em contato com a realidade cotidiana, a fim de criar zonas imersivas que possibilitam a interação dos jogadores com os elementos de seu universo.

This dissertation aims to analyze the world-building process as spaces of transmidiatic communication. We listed information from the distinct media utilized on the development of the TV series Lost, including it internal narrative complexity. We studied and classified distinct factors that congregated the user interaction in an online community. We investigated the conditions of meaning production and the discursive and ideological formations enounced in a complex system of communicational interaction. We also observed how the authorfunction acts in collaborative ambient from the web 2.0. This research is qualitative and exploratory, and examines the Darkufo online community, constituted by users that were fans of the TV-series Lost. Based on the netnographic methodology and using the discourse analysis studies, we tried to systematize the processes that involve users and the online community interactive ambient.

Abstract:

Il est question d’analyser une tendance marquée des séries de science-fiction contemporaines, qui proposent un récit complexe et feuilletonnant, impliquant une intense participation de la part des spectateur.ice.s ; ces dernie.re.s se voient promettre, via l’énigme, la quête et/ou le voyage dans le temps, un dénouement qui serait la conséquence logique des évènements mis en scène. Au travers des énigmes de Lost (2004-2010, ABC), de la quête des humains dans Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009, Sci-Fi) ou de l’utilisation du voyage dans le temps dans Doctor Who (2005- ?, BBC1), il est possible de déceler des mécanismes narratifs visant à entretenir l’illusion d’une progression réfléchie vers un dénouement tantôt mis en avant, tantôt repoussé, dans un contexte de production où les scénaristes ne sont pas maîtres de leur récit. Babylon 5 (1993-1999, TNT), série dont le récit a été effectivement prévu à l’avance, sert de maître-étalon, tandis que Fringe (Fox, 2008-2013) permet d’envisager les limites de cette tendance. La capacité de ces programmes à construire une « intrigue macroscopique » à l’échelle de la série toute entière, éclaire plus largement les processus narratifs à l’œuvre dans la majorité des séries narrativement complexes contemporaines (au sens de Mittell). Au fil des liens avec l’intrigue des cycles littéraires, et d’une méthodologie centrée sur la visualisation de l’intrigue macroscopique, on peut, en s’appuyant sur une narratologie des séries télévisées encore expérimentale, entrevoir une poétique de l’écriture prospective télévisuelle. Dans une perspective contextualiste, il est vital de garder en vue les conditions d’écriture, de production et de réception de ces objets atypiques ; en retour, ces récits prospectifs apportent un nouvel éclairage au projet d’une narratologie transmédiatique porté par les études contemporaines du récit
The aim of this work is to analyse a specific trend in contemporary science-fiction TV series : narratively complex programs (Mittell) that require an increased investment from the viewer and seem to make the promise of a logical and fulfilling ending where truth is revealed, quests are achieved and time-travel paradoxes are resolved. Looking at the mysteries from Lost (2004-2010, ABC), the quest of the Thirteenth Tribe in Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009, Sci-Fi) or the never-ending use of time-travel in Doctor Who (2005- ?, BBC1), it is possible to isolate narrative mechanisms that alternately foreshadow and defer the ending, in a world where writers can’t have full control over the plot. Babylon 5 (1993-1999, TNT), a show written in advance by its creator, will be our Rosetta Stone, while Fringe (Fox, 2008-2013) will take us to the edge of that growing trend. These programs’ ability to construct a “macroscopic plot” on the scale of the entire series, shines a light on narrative process operating in the majority of narratively complex TV series. Taking a closer look at research on literary cycles, and creating narrative diagrams to visualize this macroscopic plot, it is possible to outline a poetic of prospective writing, drawing on television series narratology. Following a contextualist view, it is important to consider the writing, production, reception of these programs; in return, studying macroscopic plots in TV series can give new clues for transmedial narratology (Herman)

Abstract:

Les séries télévisées de fiction suscitent depuis quelques années un intérêt sans précédent dans leur histoire, qui amène à s’interroger sur le sens pris par cette forme de fiction. Mais, à cette question de la signification de l’objet, s’ajoute celle de la méthode permettant d’y répondre. Récits, fictions, les séries sont aussi des produits commerciaux et industriels et, de ce fait, fortement déterminées par leurs contextes de production et de réception.Depuis 1996 et la dérégulation des télécommunications aux Etats-Unis, le paysage médiatique et le marché télévisuel, américains puis internationaux, ont connu d’importants bouleversements économiques et technologiques dont une des conséquences a été l’adoption de stratégies d’expansion et de branding des programmes, qui prennent un tour inédit et auxquelles les séries n’échappent pas.Adaptées, dérivées, reprises, les séries, notamment dramatiques, se franchisent, faisant apparaître alors ce qui constitue une spécificité de la création sérielle, le format. Forme minimale de la fiction, le format consiste en une présentation écrite qui en fixe les constituants fondamentaux permettant non seulement sa sérialisation mais aussi sa distribution.A partir de formats et de franchises de séries dramatiques américaines de la décennie initiée à 1996, cette thèse se propose d’examiner en quoi le format pourrait contribuer à enrichir l’étude des séries télévisées dans une perspective autant théorique qu’interprétative
Since the beginning of the 2000s, television series arouse an unheard-of interest in their history, which brings to question the sense of this kind of fiction. But, in this issue of the meaning of the object, is also the one of the method to answer it.Narratives and fictions, series are also commercial and industrial products and, therefore, strongly determined by their contexts of production and reception. Since 1996 and the deregulation of telecommunications in the United States, american then international media landscapes and markets have known important economic and technological upheavals which led to new strategies of expansion and branding of the programs, in an unprecedented tourAdapted, spun off, remade, dramatic series lead to franchises, revealing then what establishes a specificity of the serial creation : the format. The television format is a written presentation which sets the fundamental core of the fiction, allowing not only serialization but also its distribution.Studying formats and franchises of American dramatic series of the decade introduced in 1996, this thesis examines how the television format could contribute to enrich the study of television series in a theoretical as well as in an interpretative objective

Abstract:

La série adjectivale est une structure bien connue des lecteurs de Proust. La Recherche comprend plus de trois mille séries adjectivales ; elles combinent deux, trois, jusqu’à dix-sept adjectifs. Les variations sémantiques et syntaxiques sont nombreuses entre les séries. Devons-nous parler de série adjectivale ou de séries, au pluriel ? Quel point commun ont toutes ces séries entre elles ? Peut-on dire que la série adjectivale est une figure de style ?Notre but sera de montrer comment s’articulent ces deux phénomènes stylistiques qui font de la série adjectivale une microstructure complexe : l’effet artiste et le fait de vision. Notre thèse consiste à démontrer que la série adjectivale est un phénomène stylistique, un fait qui ne peut se comprendre qu’en analysant le fonctionnement cognitif d’une vision du monde. Dans une première partie nous analysons la série adjectivale comme un fait de langue, une syntaxe complexe ; dans une seconde partie, nous étudions les effets stylistiques produits par la série adjectivale ; puis nous démontrons que le fait syntaxique est l’expression d’un rapport phénoménologique entre le narrateur et le monde qui l’entoure
Adjectival series are a well-known by Proust’s readers. We find more than three thousand adjectival series in In Search of the Lost time ; some combine two, three, four adjectives, until seveteen adjectives ; we notice semantical variations and syntactical differences. Should we speak about adjectival series or serie ? What do these series have in common ? Is the adjectival series a stylistic figure ? We want to prove that the adjectival serie is part of these two both stylistics phenomenons which are artistical writting effects and vision of the world. We analyse this stylistic fact according to psychomecanical linguistic, as the expression of an original way to feel. In the first part of research we will show that the adjectival serie is a complex syntactic fact ; in the second part we analyse the adjectival serie as a stylistic effect ; then, we demonstrate that the syntactic fact express a phenomenological link between the narrator and the world

Abstract:

I have produced two distinct bodies of work, landscapes and portraits. In both, I investigate my relationship to the subject. My role as the photographer fluctuates between the time I spend by myself and the time I spend with others. The landscape series promotes the act of looking and obscures my presence as photographer. Responding to the saturation of images in the media today, I hope to recalibrate viewers to a slower pace. I look for spaces at the edge of a controlled wilderness that are still accessible to the general public and mimic the identity of my childhood home in Northern California. Both color and black and white photographs sentimentalize manicured nature in ordinary locations. These landscapes facilitate reflection through consideration of similarities and differences. In doing so, these locations lose their specificity and approach a generalized sense of the sacred. The second body of work is a series of photographic collaborations I make with my autistic friend, Will Johns. He selects the subject matter and operates the light meter. His autism informs his methods, which then affects my methods. His idiosyncratic choices force me to photograph subject matter I wouldn’t be drawn to and compose in a new way where I must consider Will as author, subject and subject matter. In these images Will stands with the light meter, his posture gaze and facial expressions explicitly make reference to our relationship and reveal the complexity in separating subject matter from subject and the difficulties artists face with issues of exploitation and authorship.

Digital technology has expanded the designer’s creative reach, but cannot duplicate the complexity of the imperfect and unexpected results of handmade processes. By executing a series of hand-built collage and assemblage pieces, I hope to not only rediscover the pleasure of working with my hands but also to develop creative methods to incorporate into future design projects. In this body of work, I have manually executed tasks that designers perform with software — cutting, pasting, layering, aligning, and creating transparency and drop shadows. The pieces are built from new and found materials, using text and images from old family letters and photos — physical evidence of relationships from my childhood and those of my parents and grandparents. These pieces express fragments of memories and family history.

Men call it Ghost, without knowing; men fear yet not to see, that name it Ghost. Quote One All the lonelies were riverside. By Guo-zhi Shu, Water City Taipei Quote Two The 60’s is a lonely but splendid decade. Taipei The River Town. There are 「The Fluore-Bridge Swimming Pool」『Common Room」（for playing chess）「The Night Garden」（for tea time and the music appreciating）「The Guan-Han Palace」（for book critics）. This was an expedient way to provide some sorts of cheap places for the drained residents of boring yet suffocating times. The residents were with nature, whilst the activities were arranged by the water. By Guo-zhi Shu, Water City Taipei Quote Three The CatA: Do you believe in Ghosts? The CatB: Why to do so? Aren’t they just easily seen by us, in sleep and in day? The CatA: Pardon? The CatB: Between a sleep and a day, and between mind and reality: in all surreal times of realities, where your mind leads to but without eyes’guide, is Ghost. The flows of the past, streaming wildely in the old Taipei Basin, are fascinating. Ghost lives in the strong escaping desire of men. Men look forward to the dead past, and always wish to bring the unseeably beautiful landscapes and fulfilled lives, into the realities nowadays. The Cubic Concrete City illustrates the dried Taipei that I missed and the past missed by today. Because of the fancy memories from the text of writers and the words of the elders, by the wild wrinkles of water of the old times, I walked through all the allies and avenues in the city, or even, passed by some little corners with broken, heavily aged walls. But somehow of a sudden, in the afternoon, the rain pours like falls; men rushed to escape from my ghost-likely desire, instead of confronting with it in the face. As the Wings Spread is a tent.
