Abstract:

Detta projekt gick ut på att undersöka ergonomiska problem med tatueringsmaskiner som finns på marknaden idag, att generera koncept om hur att förbättra problemen, och att sedan utveckla de koncepten i form av ritningar, CAD modeller och fysiska modeller. Processen börjades med att framföra en grundlig marknadsundersökning. Det som ingick i marknadsundersökningen var en infosökning, en kundundersökning i form av en enkät som skickades till tatuerare, och ett självtest av två olika tatueringsmaskiner. Resultaten som togs fram från marknadsundersökningen var att de största ergonomiska problemen var ljudnivå, vibrationsnivå, maskinvikt och balans, problem med grepp, och sladdkontroll. Områdena delades upp i tre olika problemgrupper vars fokus blev: tatueringsmaskin (apropå ljud, vibration och maskinvikt), greppet, och sladdkontroll. Genom en konceptgenereringsprocess togs fram tre nya produkter: en tatueringsmaskin som reducerar ljud- och vibrationsnivån och är enkelt att rengöra, ett silikon grepp som dämpar vibration och ger tatuerare ett bekvämt och återanvändningsbart alternativ, och ett silikon armband som reducerar viktpåverkan på handleden och eliminerar frustrationer om sladdkontroll. De tre koncepten blev utvalda på grund av att de presenterade de bästa lösningarna till ergonomiska problemen som kom fram via marknadsundersökning och dessa försäljningsmöjligheter. De slutliga koncepten presenterades sedan i form av en presentation och fysiska modeller på KEXPO utställningen.
This project was based on completion of an analysis of ergonomical problems with tattoo machines that exist on the market today, the generation of concepts to improve the situation, and the development of new concepts in the form of sketches, CAD models and physical models. The process began by completing a thorough market analysis. This was done via an information study, a customer survey in the form of a questionnaire that was sent to several tattoo artists, and a self-test in which two different tattoo machines were studied. The result of this analysis showed that the major ergonomic problems had to do with noise level, vibration level, machine weight and balance, poor grip ergonomics, and problems with cord control. These issues were then divided into problem focus areas, that is: tattoo machines (as to problems with noise, vibration and weight), grip, and cord control.Through an extensive concept-generation process, three different solutions were developed: a light-weight tattoo machine which decreases noise- and vibration-levels and made sanitization simple, a silicone grip which dampens vibrations and presents a comfortable and reusable alternative, and a silicone bracelet which reduces poor ergonomic effects on the wrist and eliminates frustration due to poor cord control. These three concepts were chosen due to the fact that they represented the best possible solutions to the ergonomic problems that were found during market research and because of their sales potential. They were then shown in the form of a presentation and physical model at the KEXPO exhibit.

Abstract:

This thesis uses heuristic and alchemical hermeneutic methodologies and a depth psychological perspective to examine the metaphor and experience of tattoo. The history of tattoos and ideas around healing are explored, as well as the author’s own healing and transformation through multiple tattoo experiences. The author’s analysis illustrates how a tattoo may be not only representative of a snapshot of the psyche in a moment in time, but might also move the psyche toward healing through the exploration of the archetypal energy in the image. In addition, the author explores how the modification of the body has the capacity to change the emotional and psychological relationship to one’s body.

Abstract:

This dissertation presents thirty-two poems and an introduction to the collection. In After My Third Tattoo, the poems’ speaker explores methods with which she perceives and constructs reality. Her exploration is the dramatic situation of each poem and the plot of the collection. The poems’ speaker regards physical objects, recalls experiences, and discovers how these objects and experiences hold psychological significance for her. With the intellectual and emotional associations she makes among objects and experiences, the speaker constructs, repeats and varies image patterns. Through her associations, she perceives overlaps in: the rational and emotional, the earthly and divine, the order imposed on her by society and the order that she builds through her own agency, and her perception and the perceptions of others. Finding agency through meditation and language liberates the speaker from identity-making terms that the lesbian speaker rejects.

Abstract:

More often than not, when we think about visual rhetoric, especially in the fields of composition and literature, we imagine such visual texts as video games, advertisements, and graffiti/art. It’s rare that our thoughts turn to tattoos and the idea that women’s tattoos in particular, as visual text, act as a rhetorical device subverting dominant social norms of how heteropatriarchy defines woman and femininity. The dominant notions of how we think about text – writing, rhetoric, and the publication of narrative – facilitates the construction of a tattoo rhetoric. Utilizing a feminist lens, this thesis demonstrates the visual rhetoric of women’s tattoos and the construction of a tattoo rhetoric, drawing from elements of queers of color, women of color, and visual rhetoric scholars, as well as such theorists as Judith Butler, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes, and Mikhail Bakhtin. I explore Shelly Jackson’s Skin and the embodied texts of Kat Von D’s tattoos to convey the disidentification from and deconstruction of traditional and dominant notions of writing, rhetoric, and narrative, as well as heteropatriarchal constructs and governance of women, women’s bodies, and femininity. The visual rhetoric of women’s tattoos empowers women to radically challenge mainstream perceptions of feminine beauty, reclaim agency over their own bodies, and construct new meaning of woman and embodied texts. Women’s tattooed bodies facilitate the deconstruction of dominant ideologies of woman, femininity, and of text; the reconstruction of how woman and visual text are defined; and the construction of a tattoo rhetoric.

Abstract:

Den här studien syftar till att söka förståelse för tatuerade personers individuella uppfattningar kring betydelsen av deras tatueringar, samt kring tatueringar på en generell nivå. Vidare har vi haft för avsikt att undersöka hur tatuerade personer upplever omgivningens uppfattningar och bemötande utifrån tatueringarna. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats med främst ett induktivt förhållningssätt, vilket emellertid även innefattar vissa deduktiva inslag. Vidare intar studien idealism och konstruktivism som ontologiska ståndpunkter med en hermeneutisk och interpretativistisk epistemologi. Insamlandet av empiriskt material har skett genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultat i studien visar att tatueringar utgör en betydande komponent i en individs identitetsskapande vilket samverkar med individens omgivning. Resultatet visar även att tatueringarna och dess symbolik kopplas till individens relation till omgivningen och dess roll som samhällsvarelse i vilken samhälleliga normer och uppfattningar tillägnas och tolkas. Slutligen visar resultatet att tatueringar och tatuerande som aktivitet kan återspegla det samtida samhället och dess utmärkande drag.
The aim of this study is to seek an understanding of the individual perceptions of tattooed persons about the significance of their tattoos, as well as of tattoos on a general level. Furthermore, we intended to investigate how tattooed people perceive the surroundings' perceptions and attitudes based on the tattoos. The study has a qualitative approach with mainly an inductive approach, which, however, also includes some deductive elements. Furthermore, the study adopts idealism and constructivism as ontological positions with a hermeneutic and interpretivist epistemology. The collection of empirical material has been done through semi-structured interviews. Results in the study show that tattoos are a significant component of an individual's creation of identity which interacts with the individual's surroundings. The result also shows that the tattoos and their symbolism are linked to the individual's relationship to the environment and its role as a social being in which societal norms and perceptions are assigned and interpreted. Finally, the results show that tattoos and tattoos as an activity can reflect the contemporary society and its distinctive features.

Abstract:

This study aims to analyze the development and shifts in perception of the tattoo practice. For centuries, the negative image of tattoos has been manifested in Korean society and has only shown visible changes in the past two decades. In recent years, the topic of tattoos in South Korea has become notably more popular and broadly discussed. To give a structured and detailed historical review of the tattoo custom in Korea, two articles in Korean by Kim Hyŏng-jung (2013) and Yi Tong-ch’ŏl (2007) served as main sources. By conducting a semisystematic review with a qualitative approach, the accessed data was examined, compared, and synthesized. The results show that the tattoo practice, although still not fully accepted by all, has gradually developed into its own culture in contemporary South Korean society.
Syftet med denna studie är att analysera utvecklingen och det varierande synsätt på tatueringar. I århundraden har den negativa bilden av tatueringar festats i det koreanska samhället och bara under de senaste två decennierna har en märkbar förändring skett. De senaste åren har tatueringar blivit mer populära och diskuterade. För att ge en strukturerad och detaljerad bild av tatueringar i Sydkorea har två artiklar på koreanska använts som huvudkälla, Kim Hyŏng-jung (2013) och Yi Tong-ch’ŏl (2007). Genom en semi-systematisk översikt med en kvalitativ metod har insamlad data blivit granskad, jämförd och sammankopplad. Resultatet visar att tatueringar fortfarande inte är helt accepterade av alla men att de gradvist har utvecklats till en egen kultur i Sydkoreas samtida samhälle.

Abstract:

The Third Skin project consists of two parts: a research paper that critically examines the convergence of theories of dress and the Japanese all over Body Tattoo (JAOBT) as practices and markers of identity or embodied subjectivity; and a creative body of work consisting of an installation comprised of four garments that feature motifs of carnivorous plants as tattoo prints to reference the femme fatale and women’s sexuality in the popular imagination. By drawing on contemporary popular imagination and nineteenth century Darwinian parallels between insectivorous plants and the suppressed yet purportedly voracious sexual appetite of Victorian women, the studio work visually comments on the control of women’s sexuality in the West. The depictions of carnivorous plants serve as feminist motifs because of their association with a voracious sexuality that cannot be contained. Coupled with discordant colour ways, the motifs suggest perversity and transgression that are allied to queer subjectivity. The prints are stylistic adaptations from the art of the Edo period of Japan arranged on the body and digitally printed on t-shirts in the same saddle shoulder shape as the JAOBT; they feature a replicated graphic background or ‘wind bars’. Examining the body as the key component and by situating the JAOBT in a historical and contemporary context, the research paper investigates how dress and tattooing serves to inscribe the body with meaning, and how tattooing uses a literal method of inscription to achieve the same result. Keeping this in mind, The Third Skin examines and establishes the areas of overlap as they pertain to fashion, identity, art and the tattooed body.

Abstract:

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
O homem não pode lidar com o caos, tem medo daquilo que não pode controlar (seja técnica ou simbolicamente) e, por isso, precisa imprimir sentido às coisas, aos fatos e às pessoas para se sentir bem e poder viver. O corpo humano é um dos espaços primordiais utilizados para a impressão e a narração de sentido: o uso do corpo foi importante, em todos os tempos, como instrumento simbólico e narrativa cultural. Entre as muitas práticas de utilização do corpo está a tatuagem: modo de se inscrever desenhos sob a pele. Na sociedade contemporânea, o fenômeno do consumo se apresenta como poderosa instância de fornecimento de sentido e classificação, operando em todos os espaços sociais, especialmente através da comunicação de massa. Relacionar corpo, consumo e comunicação pode ser portanto uma estratégia positiva para o estudo da relação entre sociedade e sentido. O que acontece quando unimos corpo, consumo, tatuagem e publicidade? Esta dissertação investiga a prática da tatuagem de marcas de produtos e/ou empresas na pele, como forma de operação socializante e individualizante - um interessante caminho para a compreensão das relações sociais promovidas pelo consumo e pelo corpo em nossa sociedade contemporânea.
The human being cannot deal with chaos - being afraid of all that cannot be controlled (either at technical or symbolic level). To ensure a sense of wellbeing, there is a need to attribute meaning to things, facts and people. The human body is one of the primary spaces used for the impression and narrative of meaning: the use of the body has been relevant, throughout time, as a symbolic instrument and cultural narrative. Tattoo - the practice of inscribing images on the skin - is among the many practices of body use. In contemporary society, the phenomenon of consumption is one of the most powerful areas of social classification and attribution of meaning: it operates in all social spaces, mainly through mass communication. A positive strategy for the study of the relationships between society and meaning may be to relate the human body, consumption and communication. What happens when we relate the body, consumption, advertising and tattoo? This dissertation investigates the practice of tattooing product and/or company brands on the skin, as a strategy for individualization and socialization - an interesting pathway towards the comprehension of the social relations provided by consumption and the body in our present society.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the role of tattoo removal in postmodernity. Specifically, I suggest tattoo removal is a technology of self in which the tattooed person can attain absolution from a "sinful" tattoo. This paper explores the construction of the confessional act in two parts: the construction of the confessing subject and the construction of the medical clinic as the confessor's listener. Using the texts medical offices place on the internet to advertise their services, I investigate the text's interpellation of subjects desiring tattoo removal. I then examine the construction of the clinic's status in the confessional act. Websites and brochures on gang tattoo removal provide a dialogue in which the clinic negotiates and attains its powerful position in the confessional act. The paper concludes by investigating the implications of the tattoo remnant, the material effects of the technology of self, and the benefits of studying the body-skin in rhetoric.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on the inkjet printing of UHF RFID tags in the form of transfer tattoos for use on the skin. Inkjet printing of these tags is proposed as a cheaper and more appropriate alternative to conventional etching. The work seeks to assesses the performance of inkjet printed epidermal RFID tags using parameters such as read range, transmitted power and backscattered power. The effect of different printing parameters such as the number of conductive ink layers, sintering time and temperature on the performance of the tags are assessed by simulation and measurement. Additionally, techniques to reduce the volume of conductive ink used for the fabrication of the tag are also examined and compared with an aim to determine which has the best achieved read range and ink utilization balance. This would help to reduce the cost of fabrication of the tags. Also, due to some defects being introduced to the tags during the printing process because of printing conditions and characteristics inherent to the printing technology, the effects of these defects on the performance of the printed tag is also examined by simulation and measurement. The robustness of the epidermal transfer tattoo tag was further experimentally determined by exposure to everyday use conditions and situations involving sweat and mechanical friction. Finally, a diversity study on an inkjet printed tag integrated with a medical sticking plaster was performed. This involved the use of two to four tags placed horizontally and vertically in order to determine which orientation offers better read coverage in each of the diversity setups while a volunteer carried out a set of motions.

Full text

Abstract:

While an estimated one-third of the United States population has a tattoo, tattoos are still seen as a sign of deviance. The appearance of the first tattoos in the United States were relegated to the bodies of the lower classes and outcasts of society. Over the past few decades tattoos have migrated on to the celebrity skin of today's pop culture icons. In the past twenty years, tattoos have moved from deviant subcultures to the mainstream, and yet are still considered to be a mark of the disfavored factions of society. The dominant culture continues to regard the bearers of tattoos as social deviants, while at the same time appropriating tattoos for use as fashion statements, beauty enhancements, and mechanisms for continued oppression. While tattoos make their way from the prison cell to the pop culture runway, how are they perceived by law enforcement? Are tattoos still seen as markers of deviance or has law enforcement adopted the mainstream culture's perception and view tattoos as self-expressive artwork? Do tattoos negatively influence law enforcement's judgment where individual discretion is exercised? The purpose of this study was to examine the arrest patterns of arrestees with visible tattoos using a critical theory perspective to determine if tattoos and arrest seriousness are related. This study also examines tattoo placement and type in affecting the severity of arrest charges. The data used in this study is a random sample of 2011 Pinellas County Florida arrestees (N=3,733). Numerous logistic regression models were utilized in this analysis and resulted in no consistently significant association between tattoos (visibility, placement, or type) and severity of offense charges. This provides evidence that the use of tattoos as a marker for deviance does not appear to influence police behavior any differently than other characteristics such as race.

Abstract:

This study explores the history of tattoos in the United States along with the role and significance of tattos today. The study's primary research question seeks to discover whether tattoos anchor an individual's personal narrative and help to solidify an individual's sense of self. The study considers both modernist and postmodernist concepts of identity, but ultimately supports a perspective which argues that identity is the result of an individual's ability to keep a consistent narrative going over time. This exploratory study uses a qualitatative approach to discern the meanings behind individuals' tattoos through their own words and conceptions. Eight individuals ranging in age, race and gender were interviewed in order to collect data for the study. The findings suggest that individuals frame the importance of their tattoos in a variety of ways from tattoos that commemorate aspects of one's past to tattoos that are highly symbolic of an individual's sense of self.

Abstract:

Tattooing is a growing and diversifying practice in the United States (Roberts, 2012), yet mainstream society maintains negative stigmas (Bell, 1999). Nevertheless, individuals attach personal meaning to tattooing (Atkinson, 2002; Kosut, 2000). There is little literature on the tattooed individual?s experience of social stigmatization and its impact on identity construction. This study employed a phenomenological approach to address this gap in the literature. The researcher used a semi-structured protocol to interview seven tattooed individuals (five men, two women; age range 25 - 38 years). Data analysis extracted three main themes: ?identity project,? ?cultural context,? and ?tattoo timeline.? Findings suggest stigmas associated with tattoos remain embedded in the cultural context, most significantly within career. This finding has implications for career counseling. However, participants intentionally defined themselves outside negative stereotypes, and described a sense of community within the tattoo subculture.

Abstract:

As permanent tattoos are becoming more popular and common, an increased number of allergic reactions to tattoos is reported. The purpose of this project was to analyze tattoo inks for hazardous substances, and whether they comply to current Swedish and European legislative requirements. The tattoo inks were qualitatively analyzed for pigments, and quantitatively analyzed for metals. A total of 73 tattoo inks were collected from various sources such as a tattoo ink supplier, online retailers, and provided directly from tattoo artists. The labels of each tattoo ink bottle were inspected to investigate their compliance with the Council of Europe and the Swedish Medical Products Agency. Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF-MS) was used to qualitatively analyze 20 selected tattoo inks for different pigments. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to quantitatively analyze trace metals in 70 of the samples. A large majority (90%) of the tested samples violated the requirements and criteria in the European resolution ResAP 2008(1), such as information on name and address of the manufacturer, minimum date of durability, sterility, batch number, and storage. Patch and allergy testing were incorrectly recommended for many samples in a way that is not accepted by dermatologists. In a worst-case scenario, this testing could be a sensitizing step. Also, it can not prevent future allergic reactions from occurring or provide any juridical insurance. Only one brand, World Famous, fulfilled the requirements for labeling for six of the seven samples (one sample failed due to a faulty declared pigment). The brands Tang Dragon and Dynamic did not fulfill any of the requirements listed in ResAP 2008(1). The list of ingredients was incorrect for all samples from Tang Dragon (bought prior to 2019 online). Also, six of the other 50 samples from different brands (World Famous, Intenze, Fusion Tattoo Ink, Eternal Ink, Solid Ink) declared at least one pigment incorrectly in their ingredients list. 25% of the declared and theoretically detectable pigments were detected by means of MALDI-ToF-MS, whereas the other pigments were either absent or below the limit of detection. Future analyses should include an MS/MS analysis. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) was identified qualatively in 15 of the 20 samples analyzed with MALDI-ToF-MS but was not listed in any of the ingredients lists. ICP-QQQ-MS is a very sensitive technique and could both detect and verify the presence of all metal-containing pigments, as well as the level of impurities. Copper was clearly more present in green and blue colors, regardless of the brand. The metal content was evidently dependent on the brand for arsenic, aluminum, bismuth, chromium, nickel, zinc, and strontium. Elevated levels of barium and strontium (partially very high levels: up to 727 mg/kg barium and up to 8.06 g/kg strontium) were found in several samples. High amounts of aluminum (4 to 11,0 g/kg) and titanium (as judged from white precipitates and ingredients lists) were present in most samples. Nickel (0.1 to 41 mg/kg) and chromium (0.1 to 139 mg/kg) were also present in the samples. Some other impurities were also present (arsenic – 3.8 mg/kg, mercury – 1.6 mg/kg, and lead – 5.4 mg/kg for one sample, respectively). Known sensitizing pigments were declared and partially confirmed by MALDI-ToF-MS in 17 of 53 samples of the brands Radiant Colour, Eternal Ink, Fusion Tattoo Ink, and Kuro Sumi. Four samples (from Intenze, Eternal Ink, and Kuro Sumi) also declared pigments listed as non-suitable substance according to the European Commission regulation on cosmetic products from 2009.

Studentų nuostatos į tatuiruotę SANTRAUKA Tyrimo objektas – studentų nuostatos į tatuiruotę. Tyrimo tikslas – studentų nuostatų į tatuiruotę tyrimas. Tyrime dalyvavo 401 studentas iš keturių Vilniaus universitetų. Tyrimo dalyvių amžius: 18 – 26 metų (amžiaus vidurkis 21 m.). Tyrime naudotas M. L. Armstrong sukurtas ATTAS klausimynas (The Armstrong Tattoo Team Attitude Survey). Analizuojant rezultatus, tyrimo dalyviai buvo suskirstyti į keturias grupes: tatuiruoti studentai (36), netatuiruoti studentai (365), merginos (255) ir vaikinai (146). Gauti rezultatai parodė, kad tyrime dalyvavusių studentų nuostatos į tatuiruotę pozityvios. Pasitvirtino hipotezės, kad (a) skiriasi tatuiruotų ir netatuiruotų studentų nuostatos į tatuiruotės riziką, (b) skiriasi studentų vaikinų ir studenčių merginų nuostatos į tatuiruotės riziką. Didžioji netatuiruotų tyrimo dalyvių dalis manė, kad, jei nuspręs išsitatuiruoti, išgirs neigiamų šeimos narių pastabų; didžioji tatuiruotų tyrimo dalyvių dalis tikino, kad, jei nuspręs dar kartą išsitatuiruoti, susidurs su odos aplink tatuiruotę dirglumu. Merginos labiau nei vaikinai buvo linkusios manyti, kad tatuiruojantis susidurs su vietos aplink tatuiruotę jautrumu saulės spinduliams ir odos aplink tatuiruotę dirglumu, o vaikinai – jog tatuiruodamiesi susilauks neigiamų visuomenės vertinimų ir išgyvens įvairių nepatogumų. Duomenų analizė parodė, jog (A) skiriasi tatuiruotų ir netatuiruotų studentų tatuiravimosi tikslas, bei (B) studentų vaikinų ir... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]
Higher School Students’ Attitudes to Tattoo SUMMARY Object under study: students’ attitudes to tattoo. Purpose: investigation into students’ attitudes to tattoo. Participants: 401 students from four universities in Vilnius. Age: 18-26 years (mean: 21 years). The Armstrong Tattoo Team Attitude Survey was used to carry out the study. To analyse the data, participants were divided into four groups: tattooed students (36), non-tattooed students (365), girls (255), and boys (146). The findings showed that participants’ attitudes to tattoo were positive. Hypotheses that the attitudes differed by (a) gender and (b) tattoo presence/absence were corroborated. Most non-tattooed participants expected negative remarks from their family should they get a tattoo; most tattooed participants expected to develop local skin irritation should they get another tattoo. Girls, compared to boys, were more inclined to believe that they would develop local sensitivity to sunrays and skin irritation should they get a tattoo; boys – that they would experience negative reaction from people and multiple inconvenience. Data analysis showed that the purpose of getting a tattoo differed in terms of (A) tattoo presence/absence, and (B) gender. Most tattooed and non-tattooed participants thought that should they decide to get a/another tattoo that would be a thing “to honour a festive occasion”. However the second purpose differed: non-tattooed students thought that a tattoo would help to “express oneself”... [to full text]

Abstract:

The anthropomorphic stelae of Iron Age Daunia are a phenomenon not only in the archaeological record of Italy, but for pre- and proto-historic populations of the Mediterranean in general. Their complexity, rich imagery, large number, and very small spread across time and place render them unique. Yet they remain at the fringe of archaeological awareness and are not well known outside their place of manufacture. This thesis aims to redress that situation, both by reviewing past scholarship on the stelae and offering a fresh, in-depth, objective analysis of the monuments. By looking at the corpus in its entirety and systematically, attribute by attribute, it is possible to elucidate a great deal more than we currently know not only about the stelae but about their makers. The Iron Age Daunians stood (metaphorically and literally) between the Etruscans, Samnites, Illyrians, and Greek colonists and indigenous populations of Magna Grecia, but are not as well regarded or understood as those populations. The extant Daunian material culture is otherwise relatively unsophisticated, and does not suggest substantial social stratification. The stelae not only give pause to rethink this position, but provide the only self-narrative we have for this fascinating society. Because many of the stelae are female, they also offer a valuable insight into proto-historic gender constructs of the region.

Abstract:

Stieg Larsson has reached vast audiences with his popular, page-turning crime novels, the Millennium Series. The series tells a story not just for fictional purposes, but to draw attention to what people did not see about the society that Larsson lived in. In 2009, local actors starred in a film adaptation of Larsson’s first novel, which went beyond the Swedish public. In December 2011 an English-language remake based on the same bestseller was released, starring famous Hollywood actors. Considering language can hinder the reach of foreign language movies in international markets and that international and Swedish audiences demands differ, the current research aims to find out how the two movie adaptations diverge in terms of gender representation, production, graphic content, ideological meaning, and cultural representation as they attempt to target their respective audiences. In order to find answers, this thesis adopted a qualitative approach using two different, supporting methods. First a semiotic analysis of a representative scene with a high psychological and graphic impact on the viewer in both movies was conducted. Second, focus group interviews, with International and Swedish audience members, were conducted. The findings suggest that considerable differences exist between the two movies and that audiences have a different pre-conception in the way they perceive the same media product: gender role dynamic has been reversed in the two movies, the American version is more graphic in its display of nudity, and lacks the ideological layer. Furthermore, this study can serve as a basis for future research that could try to statistically represent the way Swedish and international moviegoers draw on the two adaptations.

Abstract:

Abstract This thesis sets out to explore the cultural differences between Sweden and the United States by examining the substantial changes made to Men Who Hate Women, including the change in the book’s title in English to The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. My thesis focuses in particular on changes in the depiction of the female protagonist: Lisbeth Salander. Unfortunately we do not have access to translator Steven T. Murray’s original translation, though we know that the English publisher and rights holder Christopher MacLehose chose to enhance Larsson’s work in order to make the novel more interesting for English-speaking readers, which resulted in Murray translating under the pseudonym Reg Keeland as he did not agree to the translation made by MacLehose and Knopf. Furthermore, this thesis touches on the ethics of translation, and will likewise argue the importance of facilitating a dialog concerning misogyny and rape culture.

Abstract:

I sensori indossabili utilizzati per la sismo-cardiografia (SCG), misura delle vibrazioni toraciche associate ai battiti cardiaci, si basano ancora su accelerometri rigidi e membrane piezoelettriche non estensibili. Un team di ricercatori ha studiato un sensore SCG sfruttando i tatuaggi elettronici morbidi (e-tattos), utilizzati anche per il rilevamento dell’elettrocardiogramma (ECG). Tale sensore è realizzato mediante un e-tattoo ultrasottile ed estensibile che si basa su una maglia serpentina di polimero piezoelettrico, con uno spessore di 28 μm, in fluoruro di polivinilidene (PVDF). Per identificare la posizione migliore per montare l’e-tattoo e studiare gli effetti della rigidità del substrato, è stata utilizzata la correlazione di immagini 3D (DIC) che permettono di mappare le vibrazioni toraciche. Inoltre, poiché i sensori piezoelettrici soffrono facilmente di artefatti da movimento, in questo studio tali effetti vengono ridotti eseguendo la sottrazione dei segnali tra una coppia di tatuaggi elettronici SCG identici posti uno accanto all’altro. L’integrazione del sensore SCG morbido con una coppia di elettrodi dorati morbidi su una singola piattaforma di tatuaggi elettronici, realizza quindi un tatuaggio sensibile elettro-meccano-acustico cardiovascolare (EMAC), che può eseguire misurazioni sincrone di ECG e SCG ed estrarre vari intervalli di tempo cardiaco, tra cui l’intervallo di tempo sistolico (STI). Usando il tatuaggio EMAC, è possibile trovare forti correlazioni tra STI e pressione sistolica/diastolica, che possono fornire un modo semplice per stimare la pressione sanguigna in modo continuo e non invasivo utilizzando un e-tattoo montato sul torace.

Abstract:

The field of biometrics has grown significantly in the past decade due to an increase in interest from law enforcement. Law enforcement officials are interested in adding tattoos alongside irises and fingerprints to their toolbox of biometrics. They often use these biometrics to aid in the identification of victims and suspects. Like facial recognition, tattoos have seen a spike in attention over the past few years. Tattoos, however, have not received as much attention by researchers. This lack of attention towards tattoos stems from the difficulty inherent in matching these tattoos. Such difficulties include image quality, affine transformation, warping of tattoos around the body, and in some cases, excessive body hair covering the tattoo. We will utilize context-based image retrieval to find a tattoo in a database which means using one image to query against a database in order to find similar tattoos. We will focus specifically on the keypoint detection process in computer vision. In addition, we are interested in finding not just exact matches but also similar tattoos. We will conclude that the ORB detector pulls the most relevant features and thus is the best chance for yielding an accurate result from content-based image retrieval for tattoos. However, we will also show that even ORB will not work on its own in a content-based image retrieval system. Other processes will have to be involved in order to return accurate matches. We will give recommendations on next-steps to create a better tattoo retrieval system.

Abstract:

A temática “tatuagens” tem sido explorada em diferentes campos do conhecimento, a partir de diferentes quadros teóricos e metodológicos, porém deixando a atividade “tatuar”, seja como ofício, ocupação ou profissão, aparentemente negligenciada. Nesse sentido, a partir de uma imersão de 19 meses em um estúdio de tatuagens em Porto Alegre, sul do Brasil, o trabalho de quem tatua emergiu como um campo empírico rico para observar e analisar atividades aparentemente desviantes, já que, apesar de uma parcela da sociedade não perceber o “tatuar” como profissão, as pessoas que tatuam têm clareza sobre seu status profissional. Nesse cenário as fronteiras da Administração e da Gestão de Pessoas emergiram e salientaram a importância em compreender, mais especificamente, como essas pessoas desempenham e desenvolvem suas vivências nessa atividade, orientadas, ou não, por uma vontade em serem reconhecidas pelos(as) outros(as) como profissionais. Por isso, o conceito central observado não foi o de Profissão, mas sim o de Carreira. Entendendo-a como uma ponte analítica entre indivíduo e instituição, a partir de Everett Hughes, sociólogo da Escola de Chicago, é através da compreensão da carreira das pessoas que tatuam que foi possível compreender como elas vivem, entendem e lidam com uma profissão, aparentemente, em formação. Assim, o problema de pesquisa apontado é o seguinte: como a pessoa que tatua vivencia sua carreira? Esse problema contempla a busca por compreender como a pessoa vive e narra sua carreira, focando nos elementos de sua ocupação, compreendida como ainda não objetivamente institucionalizada, mas subjetivamente estabelecida, explorando os status e papeis sociais que elas vivem, os pontos de inflexão que negociam e os elementos que as fazem entender sua ocupação como profissão. Assim, a carreira, ainda que contemple todos aspectos da vida, será enfocada analiticamente no aspecto profissional, pois a especificidade analítica é voltada à atividade laboral de quem fala. Isto se deve à inserção deste trabalho na área de Gestão de Pessoas da Administração, apontando como interesse a compreensão de carreiras e profissões aparentemente diferentes do status quo, de modo que possa gerar reflexões e inspirações para a área. Para responde-la, realizei uma pesquisa de caráter qualitativo e exploratório, orientada pelo método de História de Vida, contemplando Narrativas, as quais foram utilizadas tanto para a coleta como para a análise e apresentação da trajetória. Além delas, também foram utilizadas como fontes de informação as visitas a campo, convenções, pesquisas bibliográficas específicas e redes sociais e de notícias na internet. Como resultados, parece que a pessoa que tatua vivencia sua carreira entendendo sua ocupação como profissão, determinando elementos, ao longo do percurso de vida, que comprovam a sua atividade como profissional; que há etapas pelas quais deve passar, bem como status, papeis e instituições; que passa por conflitos e dilemas frequentes durante a carreira e por um mercado de trabalho característico, que podem influenciar, também, na forma em zig zag que ela acaba se delineando. Em suma, parece formar-se uma “carreira padrão”, devido à repetição de algumas faixas temporais e vivências. Por fim, são apresentadas perspectivas de pesquisa futuras.
The topic “tattoo” have been explored in different fields of knowledge, from different theoretical and methodological frameworks, yet the activity of “tattooing”, either as craft, occupation or profession, have been, apparently, neglected. In this sense, from a immersion of 19 months at a tattoo studio in Porto Alegre, southern Brazil, the work of “tattooists” emerged as a rich empirical field to observe and analyze apparently deviant activities, since, although a portion of society realize the “tattooing” as a profession, the “tattooists” or “tattoo artists” have clarity about their professional status. In this scenario, the borders of Administration and Human Resources Management emerged and stressed the importance in understanding, more specifically, how these people play and develop their experience in this activity, oriented or not by a desire to be recognized by others as professionals. Therefore, the central concept is not Professions, but Careers. Understanding it as an analytical bridge between individual and institution, by Everett Hughes, a sociologist at the Chicago School, is through understanding the career of “tattooists” that is possible to understand they live, comprehend and deal with a profession, apparently, not established. Thus, the research problem identified is the following: how the people who tattoos experiences their career? This issue includes the search for understanding how a person lives and narrates his/her career, focusing on elements of the occupation, understood as not yet institutionalized objectively, but subjectively established, exploring the status and social roles which he/she lives, the turning points that are negotiated and the elements that make them understand their occupation as a profession. Thus, career, still covering all aspects of life, is analytically focused on professional aspects. This is due to the inclusion of this work in the field of Management and Personnel Management, pointing to interest the understanding of seemingly different careers and occupations of the status quo, so that it can generate ideas and inspirations for the area. To answer it, I conducted a qualitative and exploratory research, guided by the method of Life History, contemplating Narratives, which were used both for the collection and for the analysis and presentation of the path. Besides them, were also used as sources of information visits to the field, conventions, specific literature searches, readings and social networking and news on the Internet. As a result, it seems that the person who experiences the Tattoo Career understands the occupation as a profession, determining elements along the path of life, proving the activity as a professional one; that there are steps that must pass as well as status, roles and institutions; that passing by conflicts and dilemmas during the career and in a characteristic labor market, which may influence, too, in the form of zig zag the path ends up outlining. In short, it seems to form a “standard career” due to repetition of some temporal tracks and experiences. Finally, future research perspectives are presented.
