Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis derives the theory of distributions, starting with test functions as a basis. Distributions and their derivatives will be analysed and exemplified. Schwartz functions are introduced, and the Fourier transform of Schwartz functions is analysed, creating the basis for Tempered distributions on which we also analyse the Fourier transform. Weak derivatives and Sobolev spaces are defined, and from the Fourier transform we define Sobolev spaces of non-integer order. The theory presented is applied to an initial value problem with a derivative of order one in time and an arbitrary differentiation operator in space, and we take a look at conditions for well-posedness under different differnetiation operators and present some minor results. The Riesz representation theorem and the Lax--Milgram theorem are presented in order to offer a different perspective on the results from the initial value problem.

Bundy, Dallin J. « Magical Realism and the Space Between Spaces ». DigitalCommons@USU, 2012. https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/1309.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Magical realism comes from Franz Roh, a german art historian and critic, who first used the term to describe the Post-Expressionism movement in visual art. His seminal writings and definitions on Post-Expressionism, then known as magical realism, were translated into Spanish and made available to Latin America in the mid twentieth century. Authors like Jorge Luis Borges and Gabriel Garcia Marquez adopted Roh's writings and re-appropriated magical realism into literary art, and from there the new genre proliferated through the Latin American Boom and magical realism in literary fiction reached global recognition, inspiring authors across the world to take it up and continue the tradition into the present.

Hudson, Joanne. « Informal spaces creative (re)appropriations of urban space ». Thesis, Manchester Metropolitan University, 2013. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.591937.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Whilst there exists a body of work concerning the nature of wastelands and derelict spaces - what I term 'informal spaces' - within human geography, urban studies architecture and planning literature, there have been few attempts to link these theories with spatial planning practices. Accordingly, responding to this lack of sustained empirical research, this thesis explores the relationships between spatial planning practices and the production, (re)production and use of 'informal spaces,' ultimately aiming to further our knowledge of these complex relationships. It considers the potential of such spaces to act as a standpoint from which critical perspective towards much urban planning and design can be generated. Furthermore, investigating whether such commonly derided spaces can be conceptualised as a rich resource for urban life. The thesis does this by analysing how four chosen case studies within Manchester and Salford are appropriated, modified, performed, and conceptualised. Following the selection of the case studies, utilising qualitative data obtained by ethnographic methods including walking, observation and photography, unstructured interviews and further ethnographic interviews whilst walking, the study examines the ways in which such spaces are used by a variety of publics. Further qualitative data from semi-structured interviews, the analysis of secondary sources including current planning documents and historical data, are investigated and subsequently analysed to build an accurate genealogy of the sites, understanding in detail the planning contexts and future visions that have produce and sustain them as 'informal.' Key themes focus on the temporalities of the planning process as well as the ways in which stalled timescales intersect with other temporalities of nature and of cultural practice, encouraging appropriation. The ordering and disordering processes that designate and transform these spaces, are also discussed. Finally, the multiple affordances, encouraged by periods of temporal suspension and associated processes of disordering, that promote a diverse array of practices and potentialities are analysed. This research also contributes to debates surrounding the spatiality of dereliction.

Sarisaman, Mustafa. « Target Space Pseudoduality in Supersymmetric Sigma Models on Symmetric Spaces ». Scholarly Repository, 2010. http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/oa_dissertations/357.
Texte intégralRésumé :
We discuss the target space pseudoduality in supersymmetric sigma models on symmetric spaces. We first consider the case where sigma models based on real compact connected Lie groups of the same dimensionality and give examples using three dimensional models on target spaces. We show explicit construction of nonlocal conserved currents on the pseudodual manifold. We then switch the Lie group valued pseudoduality equations to Lie algebra valued ones, which leads to an infinite number of pseudoduality equations. We obtain an infinite number of conserved currents on the tangent bundle of the pseudodual manifold. Since pseudoduality imposes the condition that sigma models pseudodual to each other are based on symmetric spaces with opposite curvatures (i.e. dual symmetric spaces), we investigate pseudoduality transformation on the symmetric space sigma models in the third chapter. We see that there can be mixing of decomposed spaces with each other, which leads to mixings of the following expressions. We obtain the pseudodual conserved currents which are viewed as the orthonormal frame on the pullback bundle of the tangent space of G tilde which is the Lie group on which the pseudodual model based. Hence we obtain the mixing forms of curvature relations and one loop renormalization group beta function by means of these currents. In chapter four, we generalize the classical construction of pseudoduality transformation to supersymmetric case. We perform this both by component expansion method on manifold M and by orthonormal coframe method on manifold SO(M). The component method produces the result that pseudoduality tranformation is not invertible at all points and occurs from all points on one manifold to only one point where riemann normal coordinates valid on the second manifold. Torsion of the sigma model on M must vanish while it is nonvanishing on M tilde, and curvatures of the manifolds must be constant and the same because of anticommuting grassmann numbers. We obtain the similar results with the classical case in orthonormal coframe method. In case of super WZW sigma models pseudoduality equations result in three different pseudoduality conditions; flat space, chiral and antichiral pseudoduality. Finally we study the pseudoduality tansformations on symmetric spaces using two different methods again. These two methods yield similar results to the classical cases with the exception that commuting bracket relations in classical case turns out to be anticommuting ones because of the appearance of grassmann numbers. It is understood that constraint relations in case of non-mixing pseudoduality are the remnants of mixing pseudoduality. Once mixing terms are included in the pseudoduality the constraint relations disappear.

Gradinar, Adrian Ioan. « Designing interactive objects and spaces for the digital public space ». Thesis, Lancaster University, 2018. http://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/126620/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
The Internet is evolving, both in form and function, at a rate which is becoming increasingly difficult to match. Through constructs such as The Internet of Things, our consumption of digital information and knowledge is slowly moving away from being primarily consumed through screens to one in which we are generators of data by interacting with the objects and spaces which surrounds us. Thus, the Internet is no longer a space we visit but rather the space we live in and experience in our daily lives. The Digital Public Space, a concept based on the democratisation of privately held knowledge, is intrinsically connected to the notions of Internet, especially around its delivery and reach. Whilst the two are arguably separated by different social and political motivational aspirations as the internet evolves so must our consideration of the Digital Public Space. The AHRC Creative Exchange research project was set to explore the myriad of potentials of the Digital Public Space from understanding, facilitation and creation of digital public spaces to privacy and ethical concerns. I approached this space by considering how our own physicality means that there will always be a tangible aspect to the consumption and production of digital information; a duality in existence which needs to be understood in order to design better experiences. In particular, I am concerned with the characteristics and particularities around the creation processes involved in the design of mixed-reality objects and spaces which might contribute to the Digital Public Space in the context imposed by the juxtaposition of the digital and the physical worlds. Therefore, this research presents the methodological framework required for the understanding of such design processes with a clear focus on the interactions and affordances mixed-reality artefacts make use of in their designs. Through the exploration of five different research projects, resulting from collaborative design-led research, conducted in close partnership between academia and the creative industries, I extract, rationalise and present ideas, individually, in order to present research insights for the design and construction of mixed-reality artefacts. The key aspects of which are summarised in a set of guidelines, taking the shape of a manifesto, to serve prospective designers in the production of mixed-reality artefacts.

Matthews, Evan. « Making Space : Disorientating bodies in trans and queer spaces of support ». Thesis, University of Canterbury. Gender Studies, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10092/8817.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis explores young people’s transgenderings through negotiations of language, bodies and experiences of different peer and community-based support spaces in Aotearoa New Zealand. It critically examines what ‘support’ means for young people in relation to developing subjectivities and embodiments shaped by being both young and transgender/ gender non-conforming. While these perspectives are varied, I argue that the production of community and peer-based support for those who are both young and transgender or gender non-conforming has been undergoing a period of significant change, reflecting queer and postmodern shifts which have worked to re-conceptualise the ways queer and transgender communities and peers are imagined, incorporating a greater inclusive focus on diversity. Utilising Sara Ahmed’s concept of queer phenomenology and post-structuralist theory, the thesis thinks beyond binary approaches to gender and support, to consider support and gender non-conformity through the process of ‘disorientation’. Throughout this project both ‘gender’ and ‘support’ are positioned as being subjective, embodied and discursive knowledges and actions, represented in multiple and contradictory ideas, identities and expressions of the different participants. The study utilises in-depth qualitative interviews with participants who are young people (aged 16-30 years) and support providers and developers of transgender/queer based support in Aotearoa New Zealand. Working with young people and support providers, this research provides an analysis of support development for transgender and gender non-conforming young people in Aotearoa New Zealand, arguing that all participants in support (both providers and recipients) are shaping its provision.

Ao considerarmos a Geografia como uma ciência que contribui para a interpretação da realidade com a finalidade de construir contribuições sobre o entendimento do mundo, percebemos que o cinema torna-se uma importante representação nessa interpretação. A inserção da cidade na relação entre cinema e Geografia, leva-nos a perceber que os fatos narrados não têm a cidade apenas como palco de seu desenvolvimento. Esse desenrolar de situações é construído também pela vida cotidiana na metrópole e pelas relações sociais em ato, ou seja, as práticas sociais. Diante disso, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os conflitos sociais e as tensões que se dão no espaço urbano a partir das representações vistas no filme Crash – No Limite, uma vez que a própria imagem do cinema apresenta essencialmente analogias com a espacialidade. Pretendemos responder: como podemos pensar essas tensões, os conflitos sociais e, sobretudo, as representações do espaço urbano a partir da representação cinematográfica?
By considering Geography a science that contributes to the interpretation of reality in order to build approaches towards the understanding of the world, we notice that cinema becomes an important representation in this interpretation. Inserting the city in the relation between cinema and Geography leads us to perceive that the narrated facts do not have the city just as stage for its development. Such development of situations is also build by the daily life in the metropolis and by the social relations on , that is, the social practices. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the social conflicts and tensions that occur in urban space from the representations watched in the movie Crash , since cinema s own image essentially presents some analogies with spatiality. We intend to answer: how can we think this tensions, the social conflicts and, most of all, the representations of urban space from the cinematographic representation.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Coworking Spaces represent a global fast-growing trend which was able to gain momentum in research and academia, yet until now the fundamental role of IT within the coworking space ecosystem proves to be a rather unexplored topic for researchers and academia. Therefore, this research is about the role of space and information technologies (such as software, hardware, and more IT-related services) within CWSs; hence about the relation and interplay among those technologies, the involved actors and the physical environment in which the act of coworking takes place.

Mhabak, Wasfie. « Shakespeare's tragic spaces : the poetics of place and space in Shakespearean tragedy ». Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2012. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.569246.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis examines the significance of 'place' and 'space' in seven of Shakespeare's tragedies - Romeo and Juliet, King Lear, Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Antony and Cleopatra, and Coriolanus - through two inter-related approaches: on the one hand, by exploring how 'space' implants what might be labelled a spatial anxiety in Shakespeare's protagonists, an anxiety that complicates a tragic hero's response to a play's physical and psychological distinctiveness, and, on the other, by reading the spatial structure of each tragedy on geographical, historical, and political levels. This thesis thus tackles 'place' /'space' as a prominent agent in influencing the construction of the Shakespearean tragic hero who comes to be, this thesis argues, spatially destined. The Shakespearean tragic protagonists' relationships with 'space' /'place' in the plays will be shown to serve as a threshold to a network of issues, from questions of interiority and sexuality, gender and nationalism, political power and cultural hegemony to those of the tragic hero's relationship with self and others. Rather than remaining merely a passive container of a play's events, 'space' for Shakespeare becomes an active agent within the tragedies, adding to the tragic discourse of any play in key ways. When the spatial framework in Othello, for instance, moves from the wide scale of the city of Venice to the narrower space of the island of Cyprus before finally ending in the confines of a single bedchamber, such a spatial arrangement enhances the suffocating mental realm of the hero in the constrictive snare of jealousy. Shakespeare, by having the scenes of Hamlet restricted to the chambers of the court in Elsinore, emphasises the claustrophobic realm of Hamlet's 'distracted globe'. The movement of the characters from one locale to another in ancient Britain similarly intensifies the menacing realm of King Lear and cements the tragic sense of human vanity in the play. Such is the spatial machinery of Shakespearean tragedy, in which spatial organisation is not accidental to the plot of the play, but rather generated by it. Space, indeed, proves to be, in each Shakespearean tragedy addressed in this thesis, the blueprint which marks the nature and the tempo of events, the tragic hero's inward struggle, and the overall tragic sense of the play. Romeo and Juliet is thus structured around a network of public places imbued with social feuding and of private spaces in which privacy is denied and invaded, rendering the lovers not just 'star-' but also 'space-crossed' figures. In these terms, King Lear becomes a tragedy in which dislocation is equated with the loss of personal and national identity and relocation paralleled with selfhood and national belonging. Hamlet comes to be a play of utter confinement, be it conceptually through Hamlet's mental 'nutshell' of 'bad dreams', or materially in the close quarters of the King's court. Shakespeare invests in Macbeth both a spatial liminality, between the realms of witchcraft and reality, and a psychic liminality in Macbeth's restless fear and eventual tyranny. Likewise, in Antony and Cleopatra, Antony's spatial identity wavers between Roman and the Egyptian sensibilities just as the play's scenes sweep us geographically from Rome to Egypt and back again. By contrast, two approaches to the concept of the 'city' prevail in Coriolanus - again, conceptual and material - as shown by the hero and the various classes represented in Shakespeare's Republican Rome: both contribute influentially to the political struggle in the play. In short, space in Shakespearean tragedy signals the topographical equivalence both of a character's inward struggles and of a play's more exterior conflicts.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This essay does a theoretical comparison of the intricate social production in digital and real spaces, proposing a model for the non-technical exploration of the social production of spaces relating to human digital technology. The ‘social space’ proposed by Henri Lefebvre (1974) - responsible for producing material space - and the holistic model of ‘cybernetic space’ proposed by Ananda Mitra and Rae Lynn Schwartz (2001) - responsible for supporting the production of real and digital spaces - are argued as collaboratively producing cybernetic social spaces, serving as the definition of a unified model for the production of spaces in contemporary society. The digital spaces are argued as being a similar analogue to classical ‘social space’. Two native cybernetic spaces are presented and discussed, argued as being responsible for the transitive production of digital and real spaces as they survey and situate the production of cybernetic social space. Finally, two case studies exemplifying the aesthetics and politics of cybernetic space are presented, analyzed and discussed in accordance with the proposed model of cybernetic social space.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Last year (1992) marked the 50th anniversary of wartime housing in Montreal. Built as temporary shelter for workers engaged in the war industry, these homes were to be demounted after the war. Public demand for inexpensive housing however, forced authorities to allow workers and veterans to purchase a unit. No bigger than a 1000 ft$ sp2$ (100 m$ sp2$), the wartime home can be investigated as a prototype for today's small affordable housing. Downsized homes, tailored to suit modern lifestyles and provide opportunity for ownership, have been criticized by theorists like Ruth Madigan, Moira Munro and Constance Perin for their inflexible designs in fulfilling people's social and spatial demands. This thesis explores how people manage to meet these needs by employing wartime housing as a research model. Interviews were conducted with owners of 22 wartime homes that were not enlarged, drawn from the Ville St-Laurent, Montreal-East, and Snowdon districts. The case studies revealed that spaces like the kitchen, the bedrooms, and storage areas play a major role in accommodating users' changing needs. Moreover, solutions rendered in space management by residents can serve as guidelines for architects in designing small living spaces. Relative to small-lot housing, adaptability in the wartime house was facilitated by its sizable lot and coal shed in the rear.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis investigates the production of airport space, and it puts a particular emphasis on its temporal, spatial and embodied characteristics. The first chapter is concerned with the work of architects and their production of representations of airport space. Building on in-depth interviews with architects, the chapter considers their use of drawings and computer models as well as their thinking about the sites where airports are located. The second chapter investigates the work of operational readiness experts, who design and test the spatial practices of the operations of new airport buildings. Making use of interviews with two operational readiness experts and my observations during terminal trials, the chapter is concerned with t he design of the trial process as well as the creation of individual trials. I investigate the scripting of volunteers to get at the understanding of the passenger as a user of airport space. The third chapter discusses the labour of cleaners and baggage handlers in maintaining airport space and enabling passengers’ movement. I interviewed union representatives, a ground handling expert and a health and safety expert to provide multiple perspectives on workers’ labour, as well as the physical consequences of their work. The fourth chapter is concerned with the impact of aircraft noise on neighbourhoods close to, and increasingly also at a distance from, airports. Building on interviews with activists and representatives of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, I investigate how aircraft noise is measured and represented and how its geographies are perceived, navigated, and protested by inhabitants. Throughout, the thesis aims to create an understanding of the relations between the spatial and temporal characteristics of airport space, and their impacts on the multiple subjects of airport space.

Spina, Danton Christopher. « Confused Spaces : Theatricality as a device for defining different types of public space ». DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2013. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/1136.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Confused Spaces has come to the conclusion that theatricality can be a device for defining different types of public space. This book aims to define theatricality in architectural terms by taking principles from the disciplines of theater and urban design. It limits the scope of the definition to a specific set of elements of theatricality that include spectacle, transition, flexibility, and compactability. After attempting to define why these elements of theatricality are valid architectural concepts, the text then pushes to understand the experience that these elements can create. Through the use of historical and contemporary references, an argument for theatricality can already be found to exist but simply has not been clearly defined. The best methods of studying the design concepts are initially discussed. It is believed that in addition to a thorough case study of an existing structure which practices theatricality, the best way to explain the concepts of the idea as well as analyze them would be through several design attempts. Architectural competitions become the venue for experimentation. Three competition entries are submitted that attempt to implement theatricality. One more competition is created and results in an exhibition of the entries as well as an installation which can be studied and analyzed in a physical space. By using principles distilled from all the preceding research and design analysis, a theoretical large-scale design is explored. The design combines significant site data with all the design principles defended in the text up to this point. The design becomes the most complete visual representation of the core concept for theatricality. In conclusion, it is determined that the principles of theatricality clearly have a significant impact on the public and the pedestrian experience. It is encouraged for the concept to be used as a design device for creating pedestrian-friendly spaces in the future.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Background: Coworking is an office-environment where you share a common space with other companies and entrepreneurs, it encourage to cooperation and social interaction. The concept has grown the past few years and this way of working is mainly appreciated among small businesses and entrepreneurs. Coworking as a workspace concept is a new phenomenon which makes existing research limited. Therefore this study hopes to fill some existing information gaps concerning Coworking. Purpose: The purpose with this report is to contribute with more knowledge to the subject and identify the most common target groups using Coworking in the area of Stockholm. The research also seeks to compare thoughts with Coworking-operators and their members, to find out if this new concept is a trend or something that will prevail. Method: Both a qualitative and a quantitative research approach has been used to obtain the results. The methods used are semi-structured interviews with five Coworking-operators and a survey with closed questions addressed to members of the workspaces. By using both qualitative and quantitative methods, called triangulation, it enhances the reliability and validity of the study. Delimitation: The study is limited geographical to Stockholm city. Results and conclusion: Both members and operators within Coworking have a positive attitude towards these types of offices. They feel that the environment increases their productivity and their social contact. It is widely spoken about the network and its importance for Coworking, but from the results members value location and interior standard higher. Future studies: It would be interesting to make a similar study in a few years when the market is more established and see if the operators think different about Coworking. Studies that compare Coworking members with workers who use more traditional office spaces are also of interest in order to see how they look at productivity and office space, and the connection between them.Bakgrund: Coworking är en typ av kontorsmiljö där man delar samma utrymme med andra företag och entreprenörer, vilket uppmuntrar till samarbete och social interaktion. Det har på den senaste tiden vuxit fram som ett alternativ till de traditionella kontorslösningarna och har framförallt uppskattats av entreprenörer och små företag. Coworking är som kontorslösning ett nytt fenomen vilket betyder att det finns begränsat med forskning. Denna studie hoppas att fylla igen några existerande informationsluckor gällande Coworking. Syfte: Syftet med rapporten har varit att inbringa större kunskap om ämnet och identifiera den huvudsakliga målgruppen som utnyttjar detta sätt att arbete i Stockholm. Undersökningen vill även jämföra tankarna angående Coworking mellan Coworking-operatörerna och deras medlemmar för att finna ifall Coworking är en trend eller ej. Metod: Både ett kvalitativt och ett kvantitativt tillvägagångssätt har använts för att erhålla rapportens resultat. De använda metoderna är semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem Coworking-operatörer och en enkätstudie med stängda frågor riktad till Coworking-medlemmar. Genom att använda både kvalitativa och kvantitativa metoder, en så kallad triangulering, förstärks studiens tillförlitlighet och validitet. Avgränsning: Studien är avgränsad geografiskt till Stockholms stad. Resultat och slutsats: Både medlemmar och coworkingoperatörer har en positiv inställning till denna typ av kontorslösning. De känner att denna arbetsmiljö bidrar till en ökad produktivitet och även ökad social kontakt. De pratas mycket om nätverket och dess betydelse för Coworking, men av resultaten att döma så är medlemmarnas värderingar generellt mer fokuserade på traditionellt viktiga attribut som läge och standard. Framtida forskning: Att genomföra en liknande studie om några år då marknaden har hunnit etablera sig och fått mer uppmärksamhet av allmänheten vore intressant för att se om företag har ändrat sitt tänk gällande Coworking. Även undersökningar som jämför företag som arbetar i Coworking-miljöer med de som inte gör det i fråga om produktivitet och utveckling vore värt att undersöka vidare.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis presents an investigation into the potential of digitally enhanced exhibition spaces to foster the engagement of children within family groups with museum objects on display, i.e. where physical contact is prohibited. The main focus is on the influence of digital enhancement on visitors’ engagement with artefacts and not on the digital elements themselves. This study has taken the mixed methods approach. It combines ethnographicallyinformed field studies with a design intervention within an overarching methodology of action research. In the review of literature, research from multiple fields including museum studies, interaction design and play research was brought together and examined from the perspective of exhibition design. This led to the development of the Social Dream Spaces Model. This model, which describes how visitors engage with museum objects, was used as the basis for a design intervention aimed at enhancing children’s engagement with exhibited artefacts. In-gallery participant observations were carried out in Bantock House Museum, Wolverhampton. Insights, based on data analysed from the perspective of the Social Dream Spaces Model, were used to develop a prototype of a digitally enhanced space, which was implemented into the existing exhibition. Data gathered in observations before and after the design intervention were compared in order to determine any changes in visitors’ responses to the exhibition. This study demonstrates the benefit of using the Social Dream Spaces Model for designing digitally enhanced exhibition spaces that promote children’s engagement with artefacts and social contact around them. The findings also confirm that designing subtle and nonintrusive digital enhancement can facilitate intergenerational interaction in exhibition spaces.

Park, Young Sun. « Defining video space art within video installations in the context of spaces and spectators ». Thesis, University of the Arts London, 2005. http://ualresearchonline.arts.ac.uk/2312/.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis is to introduce and examine Video Space Art as a form of Video Art. Being primarily practice-based research, it offers a theoretical and conceptual framework to find a better understanding for my artistic practices. The thesis studies the classification of Video Art. It contains an extended discussion of the place of Video Space Art in the context of Video Installation. Furthermore, the distinctions are made from Video Sculpture by theorizing space and spectator. The thesis develops the language of Video Installation. It proposes that the two main elements of Video Space Art are space and spectator. It provides a conceptual discussion of real and virtual space and the role of the spectator in Video Art are established. It then explores the languages in developed media of pictorial art, sculpture, architecture and landscape architecture. Because Video Installation is a hybrid medium, the languages found in these media are applied to deepen its meanings. Video Space Art is defined as a space-time experience that includes people as participants. The thesis applies these theories to artworks to distinguish Video Space Art from Video Sculpture. Nam Jun Paik's Magnet TV (1965), Eagle Eye (1996) and TV Clock (1963-81), Shigeko Kubota's Three Mountains (1976-79), and Bill Viola's Heaven and Earth (1992), The Crossing (1996) and Passage(1987), Dan Graham's Present Continuous Past(s)(1974), Bruce Nauman's Live-Taped Video Corridor(1969-70), David Hall's Progressive Recession (1975), and Peter Campus' Negative Crossing (1974) are among the artworks explored. The extended discussion of the concepts and concerns behind these artworks are followed by the classification of these artworks into Video Space Art and Video Sculpture. In addition to these artworks, the analyses of the elements of Video Space Art are applied to my own practical works: Two (1999), It Takes me 15 Minutes to go to School (2000), and Love Potion in my Heart (2004). (The appendix to this thesis contains the documentation of my works in DVD ROM format). The theoretical analysis presented in this thesis sheds light on the classification of Video Installation. A survey conducted identifies the works of Video Space Art. By defining Video Space Art, as distinct from Video Sculpture I have refined aspects of the theoretical base and extended the understanding of my own practical work.

Rapid urban growth has challenged our traditional planning methods. It has been a driver for the increase of overcrowded informal settlements in major cities of the developing world, which shelter one third of the world population. Lack of infrastructure, open spaces, and unsafe structures challenge the livelihoods of their citizens. Consequently, over the last fifty years, governments have addressed this issue in different ways, from eradicating informal settlements and building new housing, to retrofitting the existing conditions with infrastructure and public spaces through slum rehabilitation. Accepting the idea of working with existing developments to improve the status quo, architects, planners, artists and activists in general have relied on participatory planning and community engagement to improve urban conditions by addressing underlying local needs through small-scale interventions. This thesis introduces a new methodology to study, create awareness and inspire future leaders, children, to take action to transform public spaces in high-density informal settlements. It proposes a multi scalar bottom-up analysis, with innovative tools of representation and design to address the challenges of community public spaces. The 'Tracing Public Space' method has been developed through fieldwork in India, Venezuela and the USA. The method is based in observation, representation and design using a 'toolkit' that enables a two-way learning process between the designer as an 'outsider' and children as 'insiders'. The thesis is focused on fieldwork done in the Malvani Transit Camp in Mumbai where over forty years of informal and permanent growth the existence of open shared courtyards is threatened. These small-scale open spaces are crucial for communities, and particularly for the women and children who are their main users. Tracing Public Space becomes a vehicle to sensitize the community to protect courtyards from encroachments and promote an inclusive and adaptive use of shared space.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Undertaken at a time when sweeping changes to state funding for higher education in general and the incorporation of art schools into larger higher education institutions in particular, has radically changed the role of the art school in the UK, this thesis engages a range of artistic research practices to explore, contextualize and debate the role of the built environment of the art school (and related cultural spaces) as a dynamic site of social interaction out of which artistic research practices have developed as strategies for producing both knowledge of a space and knowledge of how to understand the formation of that space, the seeing of it, listening to it and the processes through which we as students, lecturers, administrators , facilities staff, librarians, artists and researchers contribute to how such built spaces are produced and experienced over time. I make connections between local developments in the cultural politics of artist education in north London and concepts of authorship, experience and history in the context of a built space. By critically reflecting on a series of collectively produced artistic research works produced out of a specific art school site, the thesis reflects on the implications - intellectual, political, social - of placing historical, critical and theoretical studies in the art school and on the contemporaneous design of flexible multi - purposed and adaptive spaces such as the Phase II building in which much of this study is located. The art school is proposed as an active engine, an environment within which many participate in different ways at different times in a shared community of aesthetic, cultural and intellectual debate in and around which they negotiate their developing practices. Through a series of artistic research works, I argue that the experience of these spaces is comprehensible only at the point of encounter between artist, listener and work . The encounters presented here necessitate new and evolving social relations within the artistic research work and propose forms of resistance to dominant forms of subject formation within art school culture.

Cimei, Christopher Yo. « Troubling spaces : the representation of space and place in Troubles-era Northern Irish drama ». Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/25945.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Troubling Spaces explores the relationship between the representation of space and place on the Northern Irish stage and the production of space that occurs within Northern Irish society during the Troubles. Drawing from Henri Lefebvre’s The Production of Space, I examine how Nationalists and Unionists produced a series of communal narratives which allowed them to reorder Northern Irish space and its social relations. Additionally, I examine how these communal ideologies create divergent concepts of Northern Irish place which Doreen Massey refers to as negative and enclosed concepts of place. This not only reinforces the dualistic binary between Nationalism and Unionism, it also incites tribal associations and allegiances. Moving on from this, I conduct a close reading of three Troubles plays, Stewart Parker’s Northern Star and Pentecost and Christina Reid’s Tea in a China Cup, to examine how their dramatic narratives intersect and interact with non-traditional stage space to produce dramatic environments which provide compelling commentaries on Northern Irish spatiality. My examination of Northern Star traces the development of the ideological structures which shape Northern Irish spatiality; in Pentecost, I explore how its liminal domestic space is perfectly suited to illustrate the dynamic conceptualisation of place Massey argues for; and, finally, in Tea in a China Cup, I develop the distinction between private domestic spaces and public social spaces further by examining matrilineal narratives in relation to communal symbols within a female-coded domestic space. Through these close readings, I will demonstrate that a dialogical relationship can be discerned between the production of space and place that occurs within Northern Irish society and the representation of it on the Northern Irish stage. While many plays have the potential to act as an endorsement of the restrictive and enclosed concepts of space and place in the ideological frameworks of Nationalism and Unionism, the three that I have chosen provide important counterpoints during the Troubles that actively resist their cultural hegemony.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis examines civil society, political space, and peacebuilding in post-war Burundi by critically engaging with international discourses and considering the extent to which they reflect the experiences and perspectives of activists on the ground. It is based on qualitative research with civil society groups and the individuals that work for them in Burundi. Fieldwork took place over five months between July 2014 and April 2015. This was a period of crisis in which civil society faced mounting restrictions, from the introduction of legislation that banned public gatherings, to the harassment and intimidation of prominent activists. The thesis analyses the extent to which civil society groups were able to navigate these constraints to create and maintain spaces for peace that transform dominant social norms which produce violence and repression. It also considers the factors that frustrated these efforts, from the sustained influence of past violence and trauma, to the climate of fear and uncertainty that emerged following the 2015 elections, and the divisive elite politics that continues to disrupt everyday peace in Burundi. It finds that emerging policy discourses on political space fail to engage with the historical, political, and discursive nature of government restrictions in Burundi, and the temporal and relational dimensions of violence, especially the ways in which it shapes the everyday lives of activists and their ability to challenge the institutions and structures within which violence is reproduced. The research situates these experiences in historical context â a process that enables it to consider broader questions about the evolution of civil society and the extent to which it becomes embedded in post-conflict contexts once international funding and attention decreases and external peacebuilding activities conclude. Civil society groups in Burundi received significant support from the international community in the post-war years, yet increasing restrictions suggest that the Burundian government has not accepted the presence of certain organisations which it views as a threat to its political authority and legitimacy. This leads the thesis to argue that curbs on civil society should be seen as part of a broader pattern of resistance to international peacebuilding in Burundi.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The aim of this doctoral thesis is to investigate the practices of rough sleeping and inhabiting public space, with a focus on the modern city of Rome. By inhabiting public spaces, people who are homeless expose their private sphere to public view. Paradoxically, this public exposure of the private becomes a means of exclusion according to Judith Butler and Athena Athanasiou (2013). Scholars acknowledge public space as constructed by the actions that people carry out in public (Lefebvre 1991; Tschumi 1996; Harvey 2012; Jon Goodbun et al. 2014). People who are homeless certainly contribute to the construction of public space (Petty 2016). However, as asserted by architectural scholar Gill Doron, certain practices 'reveal how the public space is restricted to a very small spectrum of activities, and how many other activities are not permitted' (Doron 2000, p.254). These practices put into question what public these spaces are designed and designated for, questioning why only some activities are regarded as public and why some others take place only at night when spaces are temporary urban voids. Rough sleeping in Rome takes place mostly at night, exposing the city to its own fragilities and contradictions. Public space emerges as precarious. It is defned by social and cultural boundaries, within which urban practices alternate one with the other. These are irreconcilable poles within a parallax gap (Žižek 2009). The theoretical scaffolding of the thesis is structured alongside two other transgressive case studies: Pussy Riot's occupation in Moscow and my interviews with parkour practitioners. These cases have been investigated in comparison with homelessness in order to highlight aspects concerning occupation of space as a performative action under precarious circumstances (precarity). The literary review is combined with auto-ethnographical studies I conducted with a community of rough sleepers, comprising 20-40 members who inhabit a portico area nearby St Peter's Square in Rome. I also ran focus groups, individual interviews and project presentations to people who either are involved in charitable bodies that deal with homelessness or are part of the general public, such as passers-by in St Peter's Square. This study has revealed a series of aspects concerning the negotiation of public space and the role of agency and mediation. This study has stimulated questions concerning the role design can play in discourses of social innovation and inclusion. The research conducted has also outlined diffculties concerning the range of data and the possible response to the many voices heard. How can design re-imagine the centre ground between alternative practices in space? By highlighting the centre as precarious, is it possible to fnd a way of re-thinking the centre? On the basis of this study, the aim of the research has been to look at the state of the gap between these alternative poles, investigating and exploring the concept of precarity. This suggests the possibility of redefning concepts of mediation, social inclusion and architectural activism, articulated further through a series of speculative projects, concluding with the presentation of a 'precarious' object I designed together with the community of rough sleepers in St Peter's Square and COTRAD onlus (a charitable body based in Rome).

Elund, Judith. « The gendered body in virtual space : sexuality, performance and play in four Second Life spaces ». Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2012. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/544.
Texte intégralRésumé :
This work is principally an investigation into visual and screen culture, using four specific regions of the three-dimensional virtual world of ‘Second Life’ as case studies. The analysis follows a thematic application of discourse analysis as a basis for critiquing Western screen culture, most importantly the cultural and social conditions that replicate dominant paradigms of power and agency. Of particular pertinence to this study are the framing, representational and spatial practices of gendered and sexual identities within ‘Second Life’ spaces. As is typical of the internet, sexual freedom is a given, yet representational performance (how one appears through their embodied avatar) is predicated on significations from the corporeal. So, within potentially subversive spaces, there is a normativity that persists which reiterates the ideological foundations of identity that are historically and culturally ascribed to. This is particularly prevalent in gendered representation – avatars tend to hyper-gendered expression and the excesses of Western bodily presentation and adornment, so that bodies are seen to move beyond all biological capacity of attainment. That these representational practices carry over into sexually diverse regions is perhaps unsurprising given that gay and lesbian culture has been in a large way subsumed into contemporary mass culture. It is the tensions that occur as a result of the normative acting upon the subversive that forms the basis of investigation, specifically the relationship between corporeal normativity and screen culture as well as the tensions between cultural conservatism, subversive representation and gender conformity.
