Full textThe goal of this dissertation is to write the theory of organic architecture which Wright himself did not write. This is done through a comparison with GWF Hegel’s philosophy of art to help position Wright’s theory of organic architecture and clarify his architectural aesthetic. Contemporary theories of organicism do not address the aesthetic basis of organic architecture as theorized and practiced by Wright, and the focus of this dissertation will be to fill part of this gap. Wright’s organic theory was rooted in nineteenth-century Idealist philosophy where the aim of art is not the imitation of nature but the creation of beautiful objects which invite contemplation and express freedom. Wright perceived this quality in Japanese art and wove it into his organic theory.
This project is organized into three main categories from which Wright’s own works and writings of organic architecture are framed, two of which are affinities of his views and one which, by its contrast, provides additional definition. The second chapter, Foundation, lays the philosophical or metaphysical foundation and is a comparison of Hegel’s philosophy of art, including his Romantic stage of architecture, with Wright’s own theory. The third chapter, Formalism, relates the affinity between Japanese art and Wright’s own designs. Three case studies are here included, showing their correlation. The fourth chapter, Filter, contrasts early twentieth-century Modernist architecture with Wright’s own organicism. This provides a greater definition to Wright’s organicism as it takes clues from Wright’s own sense of discrimination between the contemporary modernism he saw and his own architecture. These three chapters lead to the proposal of a model theory of organic architecture in chapter five which is a structured theory of organic architecture with both historical and contemporary merit. This serves to provide a greater understanding of Wright’s form of the organic as an aesthetically based system, both in historic context, and as relevant for contemporary discourse.

This dissertation positions Germaine Acogny’s Modern African Dance Technique (“the Technique”) as a mode of knowledge that reveals insight into nationalism, Négritude, modernism and perspectives on modernity during the early years of Senegal’s independence. By investigating the Technique in relationship to its historical context, this study aims to identify how cultural and political values, which comprise the Technique’s embodied knowledge, are evident in its aesthetic design and philosophical underpinnings. A hybrid methodological approach is employed that merges theoretical analysis with autoethnography. Fieldwork in Senegal, archival research, interviews and embodied practice informed this study. A new theoretical frame, Wòrándá, is introduced that contributes to existing theories on embodiment in African and Diasporic dance techniques and performance. The findings of this dissertation conclude that the Technique sits at the junction of African and Euro-American cultural templates, which coalesce in the production of a codified movement technique that both embodies and confronts constructivist influences. Correlations are suggested between the Technique, Africentric perspectives and cultural nationalism. The Technique also fulfills Léopold Sedar Senghor’s vision of métissage (cultural blending) and cultural progress. Each of these ideological influences underscores the Technique’s significance as a modernist intervention on the genre of neo-traditional African concert dance, as its progenitor seeks to challenge dominant expectations of the African body in dance.

Under the guidance of Mário de Andrade, this first version is revised until 1935 and completed in 1944. The aim of this thesis is to study the manuscript A linguagem musical as an object that summarizes the problem of physiological aesthetics from the library and work of Mário de Andrade. Once the problem arises and develops through the pedagogical relationship between teacher and student, the 1933 and 1935 versions are examined.

Full textPh.D.
As a writer who composed some of the most formidable American prose of the twentieth century, William Faulkner wrote modernist novels the numerous complexities and ambiguities of which require continued decipherment. Critics have attempted to interpret If I Forget Thee, Jerusalem; Absalom, Absalom!; As I Lay Dying; The Sound and the Fury; and Light in August through various critical approaches, yet none has successfully pinpointed Faulkner's aesthetic philosophy. This dissertation satisfies the critical deficiency by studying Faulkner's work through the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, namely the latter's view of reality as will and representation, or truth and illusive manifestation. Ultimately, this endeavor leads to the discovery that Faulkner used literature to commemorate and immortalize the human spirit in its continual fight to persevere against the constraining nature of causality. Analyzing the themes and formal permutations of each novel, this dissertation notes Faulkner's concern with the spatial and temporal boundaries characteristic of the human condition and the limits they present for Reason and the maintenance of joy. The argument identifies Faulkner's Schopenhauer-esc advocacy for one's temporary denial of the "individual will" or ego in moments of aesthetic transcendence that permit an alleviation of suffering. This previously overlooked connection between Schopenhauer and Faulkner recognizes the author's desire to produce the conditions necessary for the reader to glimpse the universal will in an extension of the present moment.

Full textOn its last legs, showing its age, modernity is nevertheless still alive. Now that it has become tradition, late modernism takes on the task of imprisoning its aesthetics. Without breaking with modernity, as postmodern discourse would have it, modernism fully assumes the aporia of what is now late modernity, and attempts to reflect them. The attitude of late modernism in relation to modernity is thus metacritical, in synergy with the philosophical enquiries of its time (Marcuse, Adorno, Derrida, Foucault). Consequently, late modernism in film has an utterly unique place within the aesthetic issues of its time, without however being isolated from them. In the 1960s and 1970s, what was already late modernism in film presented a set of figures of imprisonment, which reflected the filmic apparatus: self-reflective framing, or hyperframing, was the principle behind its form. On the level of montage, the relationships within the image, those between images, and those between sounds and images were all based upon a diffuse praxis to be understood here according to Adorno’s negative dialectics: a praxis without synthesis, one destined to reveal a principle of “non-identity.” In this sense, late modernist film offers negative allegories of a modernity that never stops coming to an end
