Abstract:
This thesis, which supports an exhibition of visual art, develops from Jean Baudrillard's philosophy of seduction. I have focused on the representation of the bachelor and his pad in American men's magazines from the mid-twentieth century. During this period, magazines such as Playboy, Escapade and Rogue created features on modern living to reassure an independent and affluent man that a dwelling with style and taste would ensure a happy bachelor life and facilitate intimacy. My photographs and collages add complexity to this portrait by framing this unique space as a stage where an unmarried man encircled by his lusty decor acted to entrance a woman.

Abstract:
Barbara Clausen thinks about the relationship between experience and knowledge in curating performance art. She will in particular explain her curatorial work on Babette Mangolte's first international solo exhibition which took place at the VOX center for contemporary art in Montreal in 2013. This exhibition and film retrospective showcased Mangolte's various practices and modes of production, as one of the key chroniclers of 1970s performance in dance, visual arts and theater, ranging from early archival works to new site specific multi-media installations. Clausen will consider the complexity of Mangolte's practices in light of the current processes of change that are taking hold in the visual politics of performance arts’ past and present.

Cataloged from student-submitted thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 156-158).
In a reality at once distant and imminent, the Lost Languages and Other Voices exhibit features stories of stone, tree, and jig. Suspended between a zero-waste utopia where out-of-commission buildings are efficiently stripped for parts, pulverized, and recast into new buildings and a preserved world where the size of climate-controlled wunderkammers get ever larger, these material narratives pull one into perspectives vastly distinct from one's own. At times longer-lived, other times more slowly developed, and oftentimes involving subtle sensibilities, the tales of these matter characters enumerate the point that mass can neither be created nor destroyed, although it may be rearranged in space, or its associations may be changed in form. This thesis proposes falsework as a support structure for architectural transformations that renders un-building a lot more kindred to unfurling than demolishing. Designed as a process governed by both material and notional instructions, falsework selectively subtracts and reconfigures parts of built form to reveal indeterminate spaces that had always been (possible) there, thereby enabling reflective, mournful, or prospective activities. "Staging" refers to both the performance itself and the act of setting the stage for what comes next, prioritizing the procedure of construction over or adjacent to its resulting artifacts. This expanded notion of "construction" challenges the supremacy of architectural objects as well as the obsession with their creation and relative indifference towards their life and ultimate demise. In a world filled with perpetually moving matters, falsework sustains possibilities open, for things to collapse or for an eventual repair.

Abstract:
The main concerns of this work lie in examining the role of architecture in staging the sensation of the psychological uncanny. This document describes my research and practice since the Proposal was written in 2008. Central to this enquiry is the notion of the uncanny house - that of my childhood in post-war suburban London. Buildings and lives had been lost and damaged. I attempt in my research to acquaint myself with, and understand, the background to my early years. My memories as the child in the house, together with my later experience of being within built spaces, form the basis of the investigation. I write about the artists who have influenced my work during the doctoral programme. The study of these artists has enabled a progression from formal considerations towards a greater psychological and emotional content. In the paintings of Antoni Tàpies and Giorgio Morandi I looked at colour and form; three-dimensional spatial considerations in the work of Nathan Coley and Richard Serra; the architecture of fear of Edward Hopper and Egon Schiele; the lonely architectural settings of George Shaw and Vilhelm Hammershøi; and the psychological content of the work of Käthe Kollwitz and Hughie O'Donoghue. Three main areas of theory have been researched. The first is the uncanny house as described in the work of Anthony Vidler. Particularly relevant to my work are his references to the uncanny house having the possibility to be both homely and cosy, and concealed and kept from sight. The dark dwellings of my memory are also recalled by his descriptions of houses in 19thc. Gothic literature. The second area of research is photography. Part of my practice was based on a set of press photographs taken during the second world war. Theories of the photograph's relationship to time and history give an insight into the way I have used them. 2 The third area of research concerns the experience of being within a built space. This resumes an enquiry begun during BA studies, about the consciousness of being within built spaces. It concludes with a reference to the writing of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and his theories of the body being sensitive to its surroundings. My creative practice of the five years of the doctoral programme is described. Modelmaking was used during the early part of the programme. Models were used to investigate the terraced houses of the suburbs and reflect on the lives of their occupants. I write of the uncertainty experienced when I was no longer able to make models, and how this led to the use of a set of press photographs from the second world war. I describe the significance of these photographs to my creative practice and how new photographs were made from the originals, giving them a different interpretation. Finally, the advances of the latest phase of my practice are reviewed. I acknowledge the value of drawing as an effective medium with which to express myself. I describe my reticence in confronting the people in the war photographs, how I was finally able to engage more closely with their emotions, and by doing so, how my perception was modified of how architecture could stage the sensation of the psychological uncanny.

Abstract:
This doctoral project uses quantitative data from the AusStage database to provide an overview of the plays, playwrights and practitioners involved in staging Irish drama on the Australian stage over time. The data reveal a surge in Australian practitioner and audience interest in Irish drama and performance-making during the final decade of the twentieth century and the first decade of the twenty-first century. This period is scrutinised to reveal possible reasons for the popularity of this vein of performance in Australia at the time. The early twenty-first century is subsequently discussed as a time when the Australian academy began to recognise the vibrancy and uniqueness of Irish theatre and performance. This study then presents case studies drawn from a diverse range of performances presented by Irish and Australian mainstage and independent practitioners in Australia during and since this era. Bourdieu’s ‘Habitus’ is employed as a theoretical framework to elucidate the unique qualities of an Irish manner of being in the world that draws such practitioners and audiences to this strand of world theatre and performance in Australia. Arjun Appadurai’s theories on interculturality and his concept of a ‘community of sentiment’ are discussed in order to argue for these practitioners and their audiences as such a community drawn to an Irish habitus, as elucidated by the sociologist Tom Inglis. The study discusses mainstage Irish performances that resonated in Australia at a time of disillusionment with institutional religion. Collaborations between Irish and Australian practitioners highlighting subaltern concerns are also examined. Finally, independent theatre companies on the fringes of Australian cultural life that have benefited from the ‘cultural capital’ associated with Irishness are also identified as constituents of this community.

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 2009.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 72-73).
Over the past five decades, the American urban industrial landscape has become marginalized as the expanding global economy has sought international markets for manufacturing. At the agency of the user-as-investor, this proposal seeks to re-manufacture the post-industrial site to explore the problem of how to effectively reclaim salvaged materials for on-site reuse. As a critique of speculative, clean-slate development, the thesis will explore an incremental disassembly and phased reorganization of a site in Brooklyn at the material and urban scale. Through on-site implementation of manufacturers and automated tooling, this project will speculate on means of creating new value for salvaged materials. The resulting form is a vaulted roofscape that supports public access and leisure space while creating a local strategy for post-industrial renewal.

Abstract:
Chronic liver disease is a worldwide health problem, and hepatic fibrosis (HF) is one of the hallmarks of the disease. Pathology diagnosis of HF is based on textural change in the liver as a lobular collagen network that develops within portal triads. The scale of collagen lobules is characteristically on order of 1mm, which close to the resolution limit of in vivo Gd-enhanced MRI. In this work the methods to collect training and testing images for a Hotelling observer are covered. An observer based on local texture analysis is trained and tested using wet-tissue phantoms. The technique is used to optimize the MRI sequence based on task performance. The final method developed is a two stage model observer to classify fibrotic and healthy tissue in both phantoms and in vivo MRI images. The first stage observer tests for the presence of local texture. Test statistics from the first observer are used to train the second stage observer to globally sample the local observer results. A decision of the disease class is made for an entire MRI image slice using test statistics collected from the second observer. The techniques are tested on wet-tissue phantoms and in vivo clinical patient data.

The Visual Staging of Audio Plays explores the directing practice of radio dramas that are staged for viewing purposes rather than their typical solo-auditory purposes. The thesis is comprised of three separate parts: a brief history of theatrical sound, an introduction to radio drama theory and practice, and application. The application portion is a detailed first-person account of my personal experience staging It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play by Joe Landry for TheatreVCU’s Mainstage winter special event in 2015. It is also in this section where I integrate history, theory, and practice to formulate technique for directing the genre for stage.

Abstract:
This thesis provides a new set of analytical tools with which to approach Shakespeare’s plays in production. This approach, which I am terming theatrical geographies, operates through a tripartite process which involves an analysis of the textual geographies, an examination of the geographies of staging across the play’s performance history, and a close reading of the workings of space and place in a selection of contemporary productions. By combining theoretical perspectives and conceptualizations of space and place from cultural geography with existing ideas on theatrical space, this critical framework furthers understanding of the multiple spatialities that performance generates and illuminates the role of space(s) in creating meaning. This research brings together elements of traditional Theatre History and Performance Studies, and builds on previous work which has focused on the individual areas of space as a dramaturgical element, theatre architecture, the histories of individual theatres, and scenography. By taking account of important questions left by these engagements with theatrical space and adding an interrogation of space in action in postmodern performance, theatrical geographies offers an integrated approach to the complex interactions between text, place, and performance. This enables a more nuanced analysis of the real and imagined spaces of the theatrical event as it facilitates an examination of the materialization of the fictive world and a consideration of the ways in which individual plays intervene in the identities of their places of performance. My test case is Richard II. An analysis of the textual geographies reveals the richly ambiguous places that comprise the playworld, and applying a geographical consciousness to contemporary productions demonstrates the negotiations between Shakespeare’s dramatic-geographical imagination and spatial issues of concern in the postmodern world, thus uncovering fresh nuances in the play and opening up new conceptions of its potential cultural work.

Lerdahl, Erik. "Staging for Creative Collaboration in Design Teams." Doctoral thesis, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology, 2001. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:no:ntnu:diva-71.

Full text
Abstract:

Many design projects in industry require close collaboration between different actors in companies. Furthermore, due to globalisation and increased competition, companies have a growing need to quickly develop new innovative concepts and products. In this respect it is important to study how creative collaboration in design teams in the early phases of the design process may be stimulated and improved. The main objective of this thesis has been to develop models, tools and methods that stimulate and improve such collaboration. Factors involved in the staging for creative collaboration has been studied, and models, tools and methods have been developed. The empirical material was collected through in-depth interviews of company employees and design consultants. Furthermore, material was collected through action research in a new innovation course at NTNU in Trondheim and in 3 industrial cases.

Initially, three conceptual models are proposed and used as a background in the thesis.These models are visualised graphically. The first model proposes that the creative process is an ongoing cycle moving through order and chaos. The second model proposes that design is a creative activity in a dialectic tension. The third model, which is called the vision-based model, proposes that any product may be related to four levels of abstraction: the spiritual, the contextual, the principal and the material levels. All three models can function as tools for discussion and shared understanding in a team. In the innovation course the vision-based model functioned as a supporting tool for creative collaboration in the concept development process.

Further, the physical arrangement of space for creative collaboration in design teams has been studied. Two major concepts are proposed: Flexible project space and activity zones. The concept of activity zones, where different zones in the workspace are connected to different activities and modes of thinking, has been implemented in a specific case. The general conclusion is that conscious arrangement of space is one of the factors that may improve creative collaboration.

Results from the interviews show the need for a shared innovation level and focus in design team for good collaboration. It is concluded that participants in a team have different roles and perspectives and in this regard the concept of flexible role structure and the use of role-play are proposed for improving collaboration. The use of scenario play and mental visualisation exercises as tools in the concept development process have also been studied and tried out in courses and in specific industrial cases. The conclusion is that such exercises have both process and problem related effects and can help to improve creative collaboration in design teams.

Based on indicated limitations in existing methodology this thesis proposes finally, as the main contribution, a vision-oriented methodology for the early phases of the design process. It is divided into two stages: a vision-based and a specification-based stage. The vision-based stage has focus on user experience and applies visions, rather than specifications, as guidelines in the early phases of the concept development. Two types of visions are proposed in this stage: Goal visions and provocative visions. In the provocative visions elements of the goal visions are drawn to the extreme through fantasy scenarios. The methodology also integrates the physical arrangement of space and the use of scenario play, storytelling and mental visualisation exercises. It emphasises the extensive use of associative images and qualitative keywords. It also proposes the use of events, such as conceptual workshops and milestones, during the development process. Furthermore the methodology applies the vision-based model, with four levels of abstraction, as a supporting tool. Parts of the methodology (the vision-based stage) has been tried out and evaluated in the innovation course.

It is concluded that the methodology can help to improve creative collaboration in design teams, especially for projects that have a conceptual orientation and a focus on user experience. With an initial focus on visions it is argued that a design team may more easily create a shared understanding. Furthermore, with the active integration of

play and work with visions the methodology seems to be more process oriented, motivating and engaging than traditional methodology. It also integrates the active use of the body and senses and helps to avoid initial mental fixation to existing solutions. It is emphasised that it is important that the methodology is adapted to the specific company setting.

Full text
Abstract:
This study offers an exploration of the drama which contains Aboriginal people's effort to attain a visible reality based on cultural and political rights. It is also a deeper understanding of the empowering and disempowering Indigenes in the discursive domain as well as in the existential reality. Though the study considers a large number of playtexts written by the Indigenous playwrights from 1970s to the present, it explores playtexts written by non-Indigenous playwrights as well. Here, the chief concern is to explore the discursive features of the texts, the items both linguistic and dramatic that tend to place or exclude Aboriginal people from discourses. Such a consideration may very well go beyond the periodic consideration of the plays. The Aboriginal theatre movement started in the 1970s serves as the complete reconceptualisation of Aboriginality in terms of centering Aboriginal Identity and culture in the dominant discursive domain. Such an intervention may involve the recovery of Aboriginal history from the dominant history of Australia and infusing positive attributes to Indigenes' identity. It also provides force in their existential reality. Freed from submission to the dominant's prescription, the drama appears as an alternative formula, but a rigorously vibrant medium of contestation in which history, identity, culture, politics and reality are endlessly expressive and persuasive. Keeping with the need to expose the complexity of the process of empowering and disempowering Indigenes, I read the discursive strategies employed in a selection of playtexts. The empowering drama adds dignity to Aboriginal people's gesture of friendship and goodwill and contrasts with the representation of aggressive colonial one. The drama exposes the encounter between negative and positive features in the representation of Aboriginality, thereby suggesting fighting against the authoritative design involves the representation of Indigenes in their terms. The most significant element the empowering drama contributes is its ability to capture the experience of the struggle of Indigenes to survive since colonisation. Aboriginal drama focuses more on the strategies to unsettle the dominant system than on the social order and the context. The final paradox is the act of inclusion and exclusion of Indigenes to/from the dominant theatrical discourses that indicate a fine line between empowerment and disempowerment.

PROGRAMA DE SUPORTE À PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO DE INSTS. DE ENSINO
A dissertação procura realizar, através de uma rede de troca de cartas, um recorte hipotético do sentimento de uma época. Usando as cartas como registro daquilo que poderia se chamar uma geração, mas abandonando o sentido cronológico do termo para abraçar seu sentido gerador, o trabalho reúne em um diálogo epistolar um grupo de artistas que criam e criaram a partir de pontos de partida – experiências – que se cruzam, se influenciam ou se complementam. Tendo como ponto de partida o evento CEP 20.000 – importante palco de experimentação artística do Rio de Janeiro, que há 26 anos funciona como ponto de partida, ponte entre artistas e pista de decolagem para projetos artísticos diversos –, o trabalho encontra na morte do escritor Ericson Pires - um dos fundadores do CEP e aglutinadores principais desses encontros, circunscritos na Zona Sul do Rio de Janeiro – a faísca para a decolagem dessa troca de cartas coletiva. Buscando a sobreposição de vozes e a fricção de discursos a fim de ampliar qualquer noção que pudesse miopemente querer significar ou totalizar a ideia desse grupo selecionado como um retrato geracional, a dissertação não tem como ponto de chegada uma conclusão reveladora ou simbólica. Intercalar essas falas, encenar a epistolografia de um grupo em um período, um ponto de estímulo, uma natureza de diálogo – íntima ao mesmo tempo que ficcional, confessional ainda que crítica – é o que o trabalho procura alcançar.
The dissertation attempt to create, through an epistolar network, a hypothetical portrait of an era. Using the letters as a document of what could be called a generation, but leaving the chronological sense of the term behind and embracing its generator aspect, this work puts together an epistological conversation between artists that create from similar or complementary starting points – experiences. Using as a starting point the event CEP 20.000 – an important artistic and experimental stage in Rio de Janeiro, working as meeting and melting point to poets, composers and music acts, actors and performers since 1990 -, this dissertation finds in the death of Ericson Pires – writer and one of the founders of CEP 20.000 – the spark that lights the fuel to this collective trading-letters network. Using the overlap and friction of voices and speeches to expand any idea of generation, the project doesn t really look for one symbolic conclusion. Merging these speeches, staging the epistolography of an group in a period of time, a point of stimulation, some kind of dialog – private and, at the same time, fictional; confessional but yet critical – are the goals that this project forward to reach.

Abstract:
The last few decades have seen a dramatic increase in the treatment options for colorectal cancer. These include adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy, extended resections, local excision, and deferral of surgery amongst others. These developments are increasing the need for accurate staging of colorectal cancer through imaging; many treatment decisions are now taken before histopathology is available, optimal outcomes are achieved if the first surgical procedure is the definitive procedure, and histopathology results which have determined the need for adjuvant therapy are now frequently affected by neoadjuvant treatment. Assessment of imaging has predominantly judged its accuracy by comparing it to histopathology as a “gold standard”. However, this approach may underestimate the accuracy of imaging due to inaccuracies in histopathological assessment. It may also fail to focus on the adverse risk features which are most reliably identified on imaging. This thesis investigates the role of MRI in improving perioperative staging of both colon and rectal cancer. In a retrospective study of rectal cancer patients undergoing pre-treatment PET/CT and CT, I demonstrated that patients with high-risk features on rectal MRI have an odds ratio of 6 for synchronous metastatic disease compared to those with low-risk features. This suggests that, at least in rectal cancer, MRI is not only accurate when compared to histological staging, but can independently risk stratify patients with systemic disease. The next aim of this thesis was to determine whether it is possible to extend the benefits of local cancer staging with MRI seen in rectal cancer patients to patients with colon cancer. I, therefore, went on to develop a number of MRI sequences in healthy volunteers which allowed good visualisation of the colon. I then applied these to a cohort of colon cancer patients in an attempt to obtain more accurate local staging using 1.5T MRI and 3T than is currently achieved with CT. Overall, I was not able to demonstrate that MRI was significantly more accurate than CT in the local staging of colon cancer, but I was able to obtain a similar accuracy in T staging with 3T MRI (56-76%) to that achieved with CT (66-72%). In the best multiplanar 3T MRI scans, T-staging accuracy was greater than CT (67-79%). In the final part of this thesis, I investigated whether ex-vivo specimen MRI could improve that accuracy of histological staging by helping to select tumour blocks. I hypothesised that part of the “inaccuracy” demonstrated by imaging staging was due to sampling error in the selection of sections for histopathology, and that performing a high-resolution ex-vivo MRI of the specimen might reduce this error by helping to select tumour blocks. I was unable to demonstrate any benefit from this technique.

Abstract:
Background: Knowledge of craniofacial growth and development is a prerequisite for the comprehensive and successful management of orthodontic patients. In orthodontic treatment during adolescence, craniofacial growth is often paramount to its success of treatment, especially in patients with skeletal discrepancies. The ultimate goal, in orthodontics, would be the ability to predict accurately the onset, duration and magnitude of the peak pubertal growth spurt, particularly in relation to the mandible. The radiographic assessment of features of skeletal maturation has been extensively researched, as a means of determining an individual’s growth potential. Historically, assessments of the ossification of the bones on the hand-wrist radiograph were evaluated. However for orthodontics, in the UK and some other parts of the world, this method has been superseded by assessment of morphological features of the cervical vertebrae, on the lateral cephalogram. This increase in popularity is because the cervical vertebrae assessment prevents additional radiation to the patient. It is, therefore, safer for the patient. Aim: This study aimed to: 1. Determine the reliability and reproducibility of Cervical Vertebrae Maturation (CVM) stage assessment amongst orthodontists in training and specialist orthodontists, looking at a sample of consecutive lateral cephalograms taken at Liverpool University Dental Hospital. 2. Determine the reliability and reproducibility of CVM stage assessment amongst orthodontists in training and specialist orthodontists, looking at a sample of ideal images provided by co-author of the index, Dr J McNamara. 3. Compare the agreement of specialist orthodontists with orthodontists in training. 4. Determine whether increased experience with the index improved the agreement between observers. 5. Determine if the principal investigator (BJR) and research supervisor (JEH) agree with the experts and developers of the index (JMN/LF) and determine if they could be classified as experts. Design: This was a two phase reliability study. A group of 20 orthodontic clinicians, none of whom had used a CVM staging method previously, were trained in the use of the improved version of the CVM method for the assessment of mandibular growth using McNamara’s teaching programme. They independently assessed a sample of 72 consecutive lateral cephalograms, taken at Liverpool University Dental Hospital, on two separate occasions. The cephalograms were presented in a random order and interspersed with 11 ideal images from McNamara for standardisation. The intra- and inter-observer agreements were evaluated, for both image samples, using the weighted kappa statistic. The principal researchers also completed the two phase reliability study. Their results were analysed separately and compared to the findings for observers with no previous experience. The principal investigators then mutually agreed on staging of each radiographs and compared these to the staging given by the developers of the index, to determine if the principal investigator and research supervisor could be classified as experts. Results: The intra-observer and inter-observer agreements were substantial, (weighted kappa 0.6-0.8). The overall intra-observer agreement was 0.70 (SE 0.01) with average agreement 89%. The inter-observer agreement on the first occasion was 0.68 (SE 0.03) and 0.66 (SE 0.03) on the second occasion, with an average inter-observer agreement of 88%. Conclusions: The intra-observer and inter-observer agreement of classifying CVM stages, using the improved version of the CVM method for the assessment of mandibular growth, were substantial.

Abstract:
Crave, the play I chose to direct as my thesis final project, constitutes a complex and crude portrait of our time, a moment in history marked by violence and individualism. These themes permeate the whole script, with its experimental and poetic style constitutes a challenge at the moment of staging it. This document is intended precisely to register the whole process of staging Crave. The first chapter presents the pre-production research, in which I trace the artistic trajectory of the author, British playwright Sarah Kane, in the context of experimental theater. I also analyze the play, and I present my directorial approach to it. In the second chapter I register the actual process of staging it; the methodologies I used in working with the actors and the designers, as well as the challenges I faced in applying them. Finally, the last chapter is a reflection upon the whole process, with the intention of evaluating my growth as a theater director through this project, which constitutes my final step in these training years at SIUC.

Abstract:
While reflecting on the main topic of my interest, I realized that it is the moment of pure experience of the visible world before its transition into individual and subjectively perceived reality. Playing as a means of staying in that moment is a main strategy of my practice. As we can perceive very little of the true workings of the world by a momentary experience, the only impression we can gauge from it will add to the fictional nature of our understanding of it. “’Reality’ is the word that belongs in quotation marks” (Nabokov, 1995). My goal was to trace this process from the very first moment of actual sensory experience, and the resonance it creates in the mind and body, to the second when it becomes a driving force of art production and manifests itself in the art form. It is a very slim sliver of time and space in which this transformation actually happens. The work I create aims to capture my own experience and create experiences for my audience. The means by which I create and convey this experience is play. The complexity of analyzing this triad – moment-play-fiction – through practice brought me to the necessity of analyzing my methods of production as well as the necessity of contextualizing my practice in a broader philosophical and critical discourse. Inspired by Mikhail Bahktin, Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Martin Heidegger, I focus on art as act, in my case the act of playing, and play as a means of engaging with the momentary existence. Establishing the rules, and contextualizing my practice led me to experimentations with a variety of media, and studying the work of other artists. Yayoi Kusama, Elmgreen and Dragset, Marina Abramovic, Elizabeth Price, Bill Viola, Douglas Gordon, and Akira Kurosawa are but a few whose work and life inspired me in the last three years. Analyzing my own methods and staging the viewers’ experience, I find it is important to keep observing my own, as well as my viewers’ behavior. Exploratory travels and international art residencies provided just those necessary research opportunities. Just as, according to Umberto Eco, one should see the difference between story and discourse (Eco, 2004, p. 36), my aim is to understand the difference between the moment of experience (story) and the moment of perception (discourse). The desire to further explore these topics in the future led me to enumerate and summarize all the thousands of the last three years’ moments that yielded the story entitled Staging the Moment: Play and Fictional Reality.

Abstract:
My research proposes an analytical engagement with the central functions of Phantasmagoria and the Wunderkammer, namely atmosphere and display. My paper is divided into six chapters; Chapter one proposes spectatorship as a common thread linking the Phantasmagoria to the Wunderkammer and offers an overview of the similarities and disparities between the two. Chapters two, three and four focus on constructs, definitions and implications of Gothicity within the context of Phantasmagoria, Horror films and contemporary art. Aligning my studio-based practice with contemporary artists' who engage with aspects of the Gothic spectacle. Chapter five contemplates the Wunderkammer in terms of its history and precursive archival practices. Chapter six offers an analysis of specific contemporary artists' attraction to archaic modes of display and provides a theoretical platform for my own conceptual engagement. The objective of my research has been to collate reference material aligned to various modes of historic and theoretical enquiry, thereupon concluding my studies in the 'staging' of Phantom in the Comer an immersive multi-media installation.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates witchcraft during the reign of King James VI and I when belief in witchcraft was widespread in Scotland and England, and there was a growing tendency for dramatists to use witchcraft materials in their plays. The writings of Reginald Scot and King James I, alongside modern scholarly work by Keith Thomas, Allen Macfarlane, Diane Purkiss and others, will be considered to analyse beliefs about supernatural power and, in particular, witchcraft and witches’ activities. This study is principally concerned with the staging of drama at the Blackfriars theatre, especially from the time that the King’s Men leased it in 1609. The thesis examines Jacobean plays which were staged at the Blackfriars, in comparison to Elizabethan (e.g., Dr Faustus, Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay, and Mother Bombie), and post-Jacobean plays (e.g., The Late Lancashire Witches) which were also performed there. The nature and status of stage directions in these plays will also be investigated, paying particular attention to the status of stage directions in printed texts, and whether these were originally written by the playwrights themselves or were revised or supplied by editors, scriveners or members of the theatre companies. Finally, five case studies consider thematically-related plays performed by the King’s Men at the Blackfriars. Several questions will be investigated. Why is it particularly important to look at the visual depiction of witches in theatre? What is the difference when a supernatural character ‘enters’ the stage via flying or platform traps and does it make any difference to the audience when supernatural characters use one form of entrance rather than another? The thesis will also evaluate how the technology of the Blackfriars playhouse facilitated the appearance of spirits, witches, magicians, deities and dragons on stage. The last chapter deals with native witches and ‘cunning women’ on stage and also considers why elderly women in early modern England were more prone to accusations of witchcraft than the young, and why a number of harmless women were tortured, including midwives and healers.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation explores the intersection of literary and economic imaginaries through an examination of the market as both theme and structure in late imperial drama. Theater played a crucial role in helping late imperial subjects make sense of the sweeping transformations that defined China’s so-called silver century (1550–1650), a period of tremendous social volatility in which the intensification of the commercial economy that began in the Song was increasingly and acutely felt throughout the lower Yangzi region. The rapid expansion of mercantile capital, the integration of local economies into global trade networks, and the frequent fluctuations in the availability of currency had far-reaching implications for all aspects of late imperial society. While historians have exhaustively documented the flows of silver and coin, the fiscal mismanagement of the court, and the tax riots that convulsed the lower Yangzi region, less attention has been paid to the multifarious ways in which the commercialization of everyday life was experienced and understood. At the core of my study are a group of playwrights active in mid-seventeenth century Suzhou whose plays map the moral and affective terrains of an increasingly commercialized society. Although these plays were widely read and performed throughout the Qing, they have been largely neglected in modern scholarship, due in part to their unconventional subject matter. In examining the work of the Suzhou playwrights, I am particularly concerned with how the imaginary world of the play self-consciously engages with the material conditions of its own performance. Looking at these plays not just as texts but also as performances that happened within private halls, in temples, and on pleasure boats reveals the ways in which the stage was a site for the performance of commerce itself—both in the dramatization of buying and selling and in the buying and selling of this dramatization of buying and selling. It was precisely through these nested performances in which virtually every strata of society was implicated as producers and consumers that the abstractions of commerce were made legible and the imagination of new loci of power outside the state was made possible. This dissertation asks not only how money, merchants, and commerce were represented on stage, but also how drama itself—its material history, its performance contexts, its conventions and language—informed understandings of money, merchants, and commerce.

Abstract:
My central concern in this thesis is to develop an artistic language that arises from the use of the Greek and Latin alphabet as well as from Greek and English words. In my native country, Greece, there is a tradition of great symbolic significance attached to letters and numbers. By examining the visual, the semiological as well as the psychological aspects of symbolism, I created artistic works that were based on the use of type and text in contemporary fine arts, through the female subjectivity.

Abstract:
Mesenteric lymph node (ln) metastasis is the single most important prognostic characteristic in colorectal cancer (CRC). The ln status is used for staging and is a decisive selection criterion for postoperative adjuvant therapy. However, it is difficult to accurately determine ln status by routine histopathology (H&E). Thus, ~25% of CRC patients, who by H&E are considered to lack tumor cells in their lns, i.e. stage I+II, die from CRC. To explore the utility of biomarker mRNA analysis for staging and prognosis of CRC, lns were collected at surgery and mRNA levels for fourteen biomarkers, including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), kallikrein 6 (KLK6), cytokeratin 20 (CK20), guanylyl cyclase C (GCC), CEACAM1-S, CEACAM6 and mucin 2 (MUC2), were determined by quantitative RT-PCR with RNA copy standards. Results were compared to routine H&E analysis. The biomarkers were analyzed for capacity to detect disseminated tumor cells in lns. mRNA levels were determined in CRC- and control lns, primary tumor, normal colon, immune cells and fibroblasts. Lack of expression in immune cells and fibroblasts and high and homogenous expression in primary tumors showed to be the determining factors. CEA fulfilled these criteria best, followed by KLK6, CK20, GCC, and MUC2. Utility of the biomarker mRNAs for staging and prognosis was examined in 174 CRC patients. CEA was the best predictor of disease-free survival time after surgery with a 71 months difference between CEA(+) and CEA(-) patients and a hazard ratio of 5.1 for risk of recurrence for CEA(+) patients. CEA, CK20 and MUC2 were more sensitive than H&E in that these biomarkers identified patients who succumbed from recurrent CRC although H&E analysis had failed to detect the disseminated tumor cells. Combined analysis of CEA and MUC2 mRNAs improved prediction of outcome. Patients with high risk for recurrence had low MUC2/CEA ratios. KLK6 mRNA was identified as a potential progression marker by genome-wide microarray analysis of gene expression. It was found to be ectopically expressed in CRC tumor cells. KLK6(+) lns was an indicator of poor prognosis (hazard ratio 3.7). Notably, the actual level was of importance for outcome. The higher the KLK6 mRNA levels the greater the risk of recurrence. At the 90 thpercentile the hazard risk ratio for KLK6(+) patients was 5.6. KLK6 positivity in lns with low numbers of tumor cells, as indicated by low CEA mRNA levels, indicated poor prognosis (hazard ratio 2.8). Thus, KLK6 adds prognostic information to CEA analysis. Increased levels of mRNA for the proinflammatory cytokine interferon- and the down-regulatory cytokine interleukin-10 in lns of CRC patients suggested ongoing immune reactions against the infiltrating tumor cells. Elevated TGF-1 levels correlated weakly with survival, suggesting protection by the antiproliferative effect of TGF-1 in sporadic cases. CEA mRNA was the best single biomarker for staging and prediction of disease-free survival time and risk of recurrence after surgery. In addition to CEA, KLK6 positivity and low MUC2/CEA ratio correlate with poor prognosis. Thus, CEA, MUC2 and KLK6 mRNAs form a strong "trio" for staging and prediction of outcome for CRC patients.
