Full textIt is not uncommon that certain rock and other popular music is attributed with artistic ambitions or is befitted with epithets such as "artistic" or "art music-like". However, it is rarely elaborated in which way these artistic qualities are conveyed. The purpose of this paper is to investigate from an analytical standpoint what can incentivize these wordings and if they can be viewed as adequate. The material for the investigation is three pieces/songs from the rock genre which have been described with the above terms: Close to the Edge by the group Yes from 1972, Sense of Doubt by David Bowie from 1977 and Sleep by the group Godspeed You! Black Emperor from 2000. The method is auditive music analysis which means that the analysis is based upon actively listening to the music. There are two areas of focus: one is on the music itself; one is on the intentions that may lie in and with the piece/song. The analysis is based upon a definition of the terms art music and popular music that is made at the beginning of the paper. This, in turn, is based upon a rundown of term definitions made in, above all, lexicons and dictionaries, but also in musicology, and thus it can claim a certain generality. The result of the analysis shows that all music examples move outside the boundaries of the definition of popular music and, at the same time, show qualities that fall inside the boundaries of the definition of art music. Thus, the descriptions of the songs as "art music-like" and "artistic" can be viewed as adequate. However, the analysis and the preceding term discussion raise awareness about the problems that are contained in the distinction between art music and popular music, respectively. This is elaborated in the concluding discussion in which the terms are interrelated to a contexture involving the history of ideas. The distinction is shown to have its roots in the cultural debate of the 19th century, and during the 20th century it has been nurtured by a modernist view of culture and society. The post-modernistic trends of the last few decades, characterized by increased value relativism and loosened musical genre boundaries, have contributed to making the terms obsolete.

Resumo: O debate entre a modernidade e a pós-modernidade tem levado grandes questões para uma compreensão do que representou a primeira e a partir da qual se pode delinear a segunda. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é analisar de que forma um romance pós-moderno, As horas, do autor norte-americano Michael Cunningham (1952- ) se apropriou da obra moderna Mrs. Dalloway de Virginia Woolf. O presente trabalho propõe-se a discutir essa apropriação, evidenciando as relações paródicas entre os dois textos; a investigar a configuração do tempo na narrativa, verificando as possíveis relações entre história e ficção e a analisar a construção das personagens femininas, ex-cêntricas do romance, examinando como o discurso das figuras femininas é construído na referida obra de Cunningham.
Abstract: The discussion between modernism and post-modernism has brought about several questions that we must answer in order to have an overview of both movements, once we are able to understand what the first has represented, we can better situate the second. Taking this into consideration, our aim is to analyze in which ways the contemporary The hours, written by the north-American author Michael Cunningham, appropriates the earlier Mrs. Dalloway, by Virginia Woolf. Thus, the aim of this study is to discuss these questions, verifying the parodic between the two texts. Furthermore, our intention is to investigate another important discussion: the time, verifying the possibel relations between history and fiction. Lastly, our attention focuses on the construction of the ex-centric characters, examining how the discourse of these characters is built in Cunningham's novel.

Full textDisertacijos tikslas yra išnagrinėti sąveikas tarp postkomunizmo įvykio prigimties ir demokratinės politiškumo prigimties. Darbe yra nagrinėjamos trejopos sąveikos: postkomunizmo ir istorizmo santykis; postkomunizmo, liberalizmo ir postmodernizmo santykis; vienovės ir pliuralumo santykis. Specifinei postkomunizmo būklės analizei taikomos postfundacionalizmo filosofijos idėjos. Postkomunizmas nagrinėjamas ne pabrėžiant liberalios modernizacijos turinį (kaip tranzitologinėse koncepcijose), bet analizuojant demokratinės transformacijos sąlygas ir galimybes. Postkomunizmo tapatybė formuojasi kaip hibridinis trijų sudedamųjų dalių – komunizmo, liberalizmo ir postmodernizmo – darinys. Liberalizmo ir postmodernizmo alter ego yra asimiliuojami universalistinėje draugo/draugo asociacijoje, kuri pakeičia išorinę draugo/priešo skirtį, nurodančią politiškumo prigimtį. Diferencinės politikos kilmės problema yra nauja, aktuali ir tęstinė postkomunizmo būklės problema. Postkomunizmas linkęs pamiršti posttotalitarizmo komponentą (jeigu išeinama iš komunizmo, tai išeinama ir iš totalitarizmo) ir siekia prisišlieti prie postliberalizmo tendencijų. Demokratinio pliuralizmo idėją asimiliuoja dominuojanti liberalios pliuralizacijos tendencija.

Full textThe subject of this thesis is Nancy Frasers attempt to overcome the tension between post-modernism and modernism in the feminist political theory, known as the paradigm war. This attempt is analysed though her debate with Judith Butler and Seyla Benhabib about the theoretical consequences of dealing with the problem of exclusion within the feminist movement. Nancy Fraser intends to combine Judith Butlers conception of the subject with Benhabibs conception of equality. For her, this is the only way to integrate power and autonomy in feminist political theory. This discussion leads to three theoretical tensions: contextualization of the subject and autonomy; identity and recognition of difference, and equality and plurality. My conclusion is that this combination is not possible because the post modern subjet challenges any conception of autonomy that is strong enough to explain and motivate social criticsm. Nevertheless, in Benhabibs conception of self narrative, inspired in the reluctant modernism of Hannah Arendt, we can find a theoretical model that is more adequate to fight the exclusion in feminist movement without abandoning its colletive identity.

Full textThe objective of this paper is to examine the self-portrait paintings of Frida Kahlo and to explore the way in which they articulate a ‘self’ and ‘identity’ through creating an innovative feminine vocabulary. The aim of this creative research is to explore the way in which Frida Kahlo represented her sexual subjectivity in the body of self-portraits she produced in her short life time. The self-portraits, some of which were produced in a state of severe physical disability and chronic illness, were also created in the shadow of her famous partner- socialist Mexican muralist/ revolutionary Diego Rivera. An examination of the significant body of self-portrait paintings produced by Frida Kahlo, informed by her personal letters, poems, and photographs, broadens the conventional definitions of subjective self beyond the generic patterns of autobiographical narrative, characteristic of an inherently masculine Western ‘self’. In Kahlo’s self-portraits the representation of the urban Mexican proletarian woman-child draws stylistically from the domain of European self-portraiture, early studio photographic portraiture, and the biographical Mexican Catholic retablo art, with its indebtedness to the ancient Aztec Indian symbology of self.

Full textThe aim of this dissertation is to analyze the relationship between the event of post-communism and the democratic nature of the political. Three main tendencies of post-communist condition are analyzed: the relationship between post-communism and historicism; the interaction between post-communism, liberalism and postmodernism; the relationship between unitarism and pluralism. The fundamental assumption of the analysis is the significance of post-foundational political thought for the understanding of post-communism. Post-communism is analyzed not as linear liberal modernization, but as democratic transformation. Post-communism is the hybrid condition that includes the alter egos of communism, liberalism and postmodernism. Post-communism assimilates the potential alter egos of liberalism and postmodernism and therefore transforms the distinction of friend/enemy to the criterion of friend/friend, which ignores the nature of the political. Condition of post-communism requires not the eradication of differencies, but self-reflection of the differential nature of the political. The task of new democracy of post-communism is to articulate the possibility of democratic pluralistic politics under post-totalitarian conditions. However, post-communism is reluctant to accept the dimension of post-totalitarianism and tries to converge with universal post-liberalism. Dominating liberal pluralism assimilates democratic pluralism which becomes democratic procedural minimalism.

Full textRobert Lowell, Lyric and Life investigates the meaning of autobiography as it is represented and produced by the work of art. I begin by tracing Lowell's poetics to the highly personal Romanticism of William Wordsworth and the highly impersonal Modernism of T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and Allen Tate. Reading Lowell's writing in light of this dual inheritance, I am able to point out the limitations of calling Lowell's poetry "confessional" and to propose a model of the lyric self that accounts for the significant semiotic and psychological complexity that goes into the making of a lyric "I." I argue that, from a reader's point of view, Lowell's autobiographical poems are more creations of experience than they are records of experience; that, although the reader is supposed to believe he is "getting the real Robert Lowell," what he really gets is a fictive representation. Taking hold of what Robert Lowell called the "thread of autobiography" that strings together his life's work, I then trace the changing role of Lowell's autobiographical lyric self in a series of three chapters. The first of these chapters concerns the manuscript drafts and published poems of Life Studies (composed from 1953-1959) and, through attention to Lowell's revisions, demonstrates the great extent to which Lowell fictionalized his experience: for instance, by omitting some of the most personal details of the poems in favor of elegant prosodic or thematic composition. The next chapter takes up what I designate "the Notebook poems" (the sonnets published between 1967 and 1972 in the volumes Notebook 1967-68, Notebook, History, and For Lizzie & Harriet), examining the ways in which Lowell's move to New York City and his readings of Hannah Arendt, Eric Auerbach, Simone Weil, and Herbert Marcuse (among others) affected his views of the lyric self in relation to history. This chapter ends by arguing for the Dantesque contours of the Notebook poems, and again takes a close look at Lowell's drafts, including an unpublished essay on Dante. A final chapter examines two ekphrastic autobiographical poems ("Marriage" and "Epilogue"), from Lowell's final volume, Day by Day (1977), in relation to poems by Elizabeth Bishop and William Wordsworth. It concludes by showing, through a close reading of "Epilogue" and its drafts, Lowell's own retrospective concern to question and doubt the autobiographical pursuits of his poetry. A brief epilogue draws the variegated threads of these chapters together and offers a final reflection on the inextricable knot of Lowell's lyrics and his life by way of reading his final poems and the biographical record of his death

Resumo: Esta pesquisa busca apresentar a construção do conceito de ideologia em Fredric Jameson, discutindo as principais referências teóricas utilizadas pelo autor e as especificidades de sua análise, como a dialética da ideologia e da utopia. A partir destes objetivos, retomamos, primeiramente, a distinção entre ideologia e utopia feita por Karl Mannheim, na tentativa de pensar os conceitos em relação à sociologia enquanto prática analítica e ao historicismo enquanto método e as influências da ideologia na cognição e na epistemologia. Posteriormente, há o resgate do conceito de pós-modernismo em Jameson, com o intuito de fixarmos seu diagnóstico da contemporaneidade e refletir sobre suas relações e críticas às concepções de ideologia de Louis Althusser e Theodor Adorno. Por fim, abordaremos as principais temáticas jamesonianas relativas à ideologia, como os limites estruturais da produção simbólica, as formas de mediação entre indivíduo e sociedade e a ideologia enquanto consciência de classe, para apoiar a necessidade teórica de Jameson de fundar uma hermenêutica positiva em sua análise ideológica, a perspectiva da utopia
Abstract: The purpose of this research is to present the construction of the concept of ideology in Fredric Jameson, discussing the main theoretical references used by this author and the specificities of his analysis, such as the dialetics of ideology and utopia. From these objectives, we will resume, at first, the distinction between ideology and utopia as made by Karl Mannheim, in an attempt to ponder on the concepts related to sociology as an analytical practice, and historicism as a method, as well as the influences of ideology on the cognition and epistemology. Subsequently, there will be a resumption of the concept of postmodernism in Jameson, with the purpose of engraving his diagnosis into contemporaneity, and pondering on his relations and criticism to Louis Althusser's and Theodor Adorno's conceptions of ideology. Finally, we will approach the main jamesonian themes related to ideology, such as the structural limits of symbolic production, the forms of mediation between individual and society, and ideology as class consciousness, to support Jameson's theoretical need for establishing a positive hermeneutics in his ideological analysis, the perspective of utopia

With these complementary two premises, we shall stablish a distinction between classic film narrative and this new one, influenced by the style of editing and filming of music videos and MTV. This new narrative shall be named Amalgam. We shall demonstrate how such changes in film making reflect the new western cultural environment of the late 20th century, with emphasis on the fragmentation of cultural identities and the rising of a global, media-centered culture.

Full textThis dissertation aims to study the themes of memory, nationality and universality in two contemporary brazilian novels, O Sol se põe em São Paulo (2007), by Bernardo Carvalho, and Diário da queda (2011), by Michel Laub. These novels approach the memory of immigrants through the subjective narration of Brazilian descendants, what brings the discussion around transcultural narratives. The post-modernism is understood as a contradictory cultural tendency characterized by the presence of the past, made of the recovery of aesthetics and texts of literary tradition inside parodic narratives. The post-modern narrator enclosures the paradox of the necessity of narrative, even after the deterioration of experience in modernity. The remains of a formal or social realism contributes to the composition of narratives where conflicting tendencies defined in terms of affective realism and traumatic realism coexist, according to Schøllhammer (2012; 2013). Ambiance, themes and influences acknowledged in these two novels suggest a production oriented to a universalist approach, in contrast with the permanence of aspects of nationality, perceived through its material representation related to the brazilian underdevelopment. This particular context demands the conception of a post-modernism and a post-modernity that contemplates the peculiarities of Latin American societies, whose coexistence between backwardness and advancement may affect literary production as well as its legitimation inside a world literary system.

Resumo: Resmas que se resumem em restos Tu és pó e ao pó ¿reverteres¿ que se estrangulam e se repetem e a mim desde dentro produzindo a diferença pura. Em verdade é só isso que queres Fluxos e movimentos em silêncios ensurdecedores de uma quase-tese escrita por onde o tema das (im)possibilidades de discussão sobre o humano que perpassa um arquivo de Power Point foi apresentado, rememorado, esgarçado pela ex-crita, pelos professores e professoras Vem do Sol o que queima e as cores (dez ao todo) que se encontraram comigo no primeiro semestre de 2004 e me encantam desde dentro em seus cantos que calam e, no entanto, cantam com Gilles Deleuze na Lógica do Sentido que na Diferença e Repetição multiplica-se em Conversações que percorrem Crítica e Clínica não sem antes convidar Kafka, por uma literatura menor que escorrega pelos Mil platôs encontrando Anne Dufourmantele convida Jacques Derrida a falar de hospitalidade. Peripécias por metamorfoses em um nada curricular em ruína Amanhã o teu pó serão flores que resiste à necessidade de preencher, habitar sempre, com vozes,idéias, conhecimentos, contradições reais, concretas, palpáveis esse nada que insiste em permanecer incorpóreo. Quando sinto no pescoço um nó Incorporeidade que se descola deslocando a cripta do jogo da representação e elege o teatro da diferença pura ao propor um gaguejar desde dentro da escrita/pesquisa como experiência. Ex-cri(p)ta que insiste na fluidez, materializada no papel pela exigência acadêmica, que invade a evanescência, presa pela encadernação. Quasetese desde dentro. Vem o vento e me sopra, eu sou pó. (Poema PÓ da autoria de Beto Brasiliense que Oswaldo Montenegro musicou no CD ¿Letras brasileiras¿)
Abstract: Fluxes and movements in deafening silences of an almost-thesis written by the theme of the human (im)possibilities that passes over a power point file presented, remembered, teared as by the written as by ten teachers with whom I met in 2004 and who enchant me with their songs: shutting up and, however, singing with Gilles Deleuze and Jacques Derrida. Peripetia by metamorphosis in a no-school-program that resists to the need of filling, always, with voices, ideas, knowledges, real and material contraditions: this "nothing" that insists in staying bodiless, ruined. Written that insists in fluidity, materialized in the paper by the academic exigence, that invades the evanescence confined in the bookbinding. Almost-thesis from inside

Full textA presente investigação analisará a cidade ocidental da década de oitenta do século XX, e o seu Espaço-Representado no videoclip do mesmo período. Pretende-se entender de que forma a cidade, através do videoclip, veicula e efectiva uma nova imagem de si, e qual o impacto deste dispositivo audiovisual na arquitectura e vice-versa. A pós-modernidade e o devir da cidade pós-industrial acompanham o aumento da diversidade social, de novos padrões de consumo, assentes na procura do “mais” e do “mais novo”. A Cidade aqui analisada será a cidade norte-americana, por ser ilustrada, especificamente, à luz do videoclip disseminado pela MTV, que surgiu na América no ano de 1981. Este foi o momento em que o videoclip se instituiu e se assumiu como um dispositivo que traz a si associada a submersão numa fórmula pop e capitalizável que inclui moda, marca, som, imagem, marketing, cinema e estilo de vida. A explosão dos mass-media e a proliferação da imagem e de um hedonismo característicos desta década, potenciaram uma nova forma de representação da cidade, na qual tanto a cidade como o videoclip se contaminaram reciprocamente, contaminações que aqui denominamos como interferências. Da mesma forma que a cidade se imiscuiu na visualidade do videoclip, efectivando e veiculando, a partir deste período, uma cidade punk, uma cidade queer, uma cidade pop, uma cidade rap ou hip-hop, por exemplo, também o videoclip terá interferido, a posteriori, na cidade. As consequências destas interferências na Cultura Arquitectónica Ocidental serão aqui abordadas, particularmente, no caso de Portugal, nas décadas seguintes à avalanche de visualidade-musical anglo-saxónica proporcionada pelo eclodir da MTV. A intenção será a de averiguar e entender as consequências destas contaminações, influências e interferências. De que forma a Cidade se emprestou ao videoclip, este a assimilou, a digeriu e a devolveu ao público? E, simultânea e posteriormente, de que forma o videoclip se emprestou à Cidade e à Arquitectura? Tendo em consideração as características específicas deste dispositivo, averiguar-se-ão quais as suas consequências na Cidade, na sua Imagem e no seu Espaço-Representado depois do seu contacto com o videoclip da década de oitenta.
ABSTRACT: The present research will analyze the western city of the eighties of the twentieth century and its Represented-Space in the music videos of the same period. It aims at understanding how the city conveys and enforces a new image of itself through the music videos, as well as the impact of this audiovisual device on architecture and vice versa. Postmodernity and the post-industrial city's evolution are accompanied by an increase in social diversity along new patterns of consumption, based on the search for the "more" and the "newer". The city analyzed here is the North American city because it is specifically illustrated in the light of the MTV music videos that first appeared in America in 1981. This was the moment when the video was instituted and was assumed as a device associated to a submersion in a pop and capitalizable formula that includes fashion, brand, sound, image, marketing, cinema and lifestyle. The mass media boom along with the proliferation of the image and of a specific type of hedonism typical of this decade have fostered a new form of representation of the city. Meaning, the city and the video were contaminated reciprocally. These contaminations shall be named interferences here. The same way that the city immersed itself in the visuality of the music video implementing and conveying, from this moment onwards, a punk city, a queer city, a pop city, a city rap or hip-hop, to mention just a few, so will the music video interfere, afterwards, in the city. The consequences of these interferences in Western Architectural Culture will be addressed here. Special focus will be given to Portugal’s case, in the decades that followed the avalanche of Anglo-Saxon musical visuality provided by MTV's hatch. The intention will be to ascertain and understand the consequences of these contaminations, influences and interferences. In what way did the City lend itself to the video? And how did the video assimilate, digest and return it to the public? And, simultaneously and later on, how did the music video lend itself to the City and Architecture? Taking into account the specific characteristics of this device, we will investigate its consequences in the City, its Image and its Space-Represented after its contact with the music videos of the eighties.
