Watching the World Unravel: Juvenal's Satirical
Mechanics.

▼ Though there have recently been many examinations of
ancient Romans' moral and aesthetic visual practices, Juvenal, the
most vivid Roman verse satirist, has up to now played only a minor
role in these studies. The present work, moving away from the
prevailing critical concepts of "voice" and persona in reading the
Satires, reconsiders Juvenal's poems in light of his visualizing
tendencies. Using analyses of Roman
visuality as a touchstone, this
study examines the referential logic of Juvenal's "externalizing"
mechanics, which include Juvenal's tendency to objectify vice into
material or bodily features, to stage immoral or foolish Romans
before the eyes of satiric viewer, and to use exemplary names from
the past as surrogates for contemporary vice. Juvenal fashions a
satiric "iconography" whose meaning depends on the straightforward
correspondence between satiric sign and moral failing. Yet,
throughout his corpus, Juvenal creates a Roman world where concepts
and values no longer correspond to their traditional meanings.
Thus, the difficulties of representation that arise in the
interplay between the textual and the visual likewise apply to
Juvenal; Juvenal's text becomes an appropriately debased embodiment
of Rome, which both discusses (at the level of content) and
manifests (at the level of mechanics) the crisis of meaning in 2nd
century Rome. The first three chapters of this study, focusing on
Satires 2, 8, and 10, demonstrate Juvenal's sustained concern with
these difficulties and fashion a model of reading the Satires which
highlights how representational and referential gaps
self-consciously emerge between the world Juvenal is constructing
and the way that he constructs it. In each of these three Satires,
Juvenal attempts to identify and rein in semiotic chaos at Rome,
whether moral, social, or ethical; but it becomes clear to the
reader moving through each poem that Juvenal's text reflects the
same interpretative paradoxes as the world it creates. In the final
chapter, the model of reading subtly authorized in Satires 2, 8,
and 10 is used to unlock new significance in Satire 6, which
confronts the same referential crises without addressing them as
explicitly.

Aesthetic Vision on the Orient: The Structure of Vision in Three 'Orientalist' Texts.

▼ The thesis 'Aesthetic Vision on the Orient' explores three eighteenth and nineteenth century orientalist texts written by William Beckford, Heinrich von Kleist and Gustave Flaubert. The differences between these three primary texts can help us to fill in some important gaps within Edward Said's understanding of Orientalism as an immense unifying discourse. Instead of treating Orientalism as a monolithic system this thesis describes an important rupture between two different 'orientalist' ages, the 'classicist' eighteenth century and the 'modern' ninetheenth century. According to the art historian Jonathan Crary around 1800 a pervasive paradigm change in relation to the perception of sight, vision and the human body took place. This thesis connects the three primary texts with both Said's and Crary's theories and tries to discover how the structure of vision in the primary texts can be disentangled. As a result we are better equiped with historical examples to explain the shifts and differences within Said's own famous use of Orientalism.

▼ The last decade of the twenty-first century became a real boom in the development of street art. A lot of articles have been published about graffiti, stencils, installations and other forms of art placed within the urban space. Street art became a means to reflect the ideas of contemporary artists to extend the levels of the aesthetic representation of contemporary street art. More and more works of street art conquer a place in a system of visual commodities like billboards or banners on the internet. Street art celebrates a moment of transfiguration when images placed within public spaces as a further stage of its evolution it moves to virtuality. The growing popularity and interest and ever academic interest in street art is strongly concerned with a free-to-access possibility to place it within free-to-access distance with the spectator. However, more and more from street surfaces like walls of streets art works slip away to galleries.

▼ The novel is concerned with how internalization enables the state to create an environment in which the idea of disobedience does not even emerge in ordinary people’s mind. It suggests that if people are born into a culture of ignorance, disobedience against their oppressed state cannot have strong roots. The novel also analyses how powerfully visibility and citizenship influence the way everyday people form their identities. Moreover, it specifies the necessary qualities the state must assume and retain in order to maintain its supremacy. The City & the City presents a shadowy, unreachable and unseen organization, called Breach, with an almost supernatural and unlimited power that seems to be similar to that of George Orwell’s Big Brother. However, unlike many literary examples, this novel also gives an insight into the possible weaknesses of such an organization and underlines how mutual dependency may give way to a controlled form of surveillance. I argue that the novel can be read as a piece of social criticism on how surveillance is integrated into our society through internalization and the construction of identity and visibility from which the only escape can be achieved through gaining a wider perspective and the knowledge of the influence that power can possibly have on us.

▼ By critically analyzing trends in museum fashion exhibition practice over the past century, this thesis defines and describes the varied representations of historical fashion within museum exhibitions in Britain and North America. Evidence collected through archival research on past exhibitions at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Bath Fashion Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the McCord Museum, and supplemented by media reports, academic reviews, as well as secondary theoretical literature, suggests that the discourses of historical fashion exhibitions have been heavily influenced by the anxieties and values placed upon fashion more generally. The discipline of fashion curation is deeply rooted in and dependent upon much earlier display practices in museums, galleries, and shops. The interplay between personal and world-historical narratives in exhibitions, the celebration of consumerism and corporate brand identity, as well as claims to aesthetic universality and quality, continued to surface across historical fashion exhibitions in all the institutions studied over the period 1913 to the present. Moreover, historical fashion, as it has been displayed in the case study institutions, also reflects the function of the museum institution itself, especially its visual marking of time and social contexts. This thesis contributes to a growing literature on the history of museums and on fashion curation and provides a historical framework for exhibitions of historical fashion to both disciplines. The worksheet generated during data-gathering provides an objective vocabulary for evaluating the physical and intellectual content of a historical fashion exhibition, and is a potentially useful tool for future researchers. Furthermore, as this dissertation investigates the role of display as a means of communication about material culture, it provides new and original insights into this important aspect of museum practice and therefore, also contributes to theoretical debates within the larger field of cultural heritage.

▼ In keeping with the spirit of Romanticism, Hector Berlioz has always been something of a rogue figure. Works like Lelio, Romeo et Juliette and La damnation de Faust, which Daniel Albright refers to as 'semi-operas', occupy an uncomfortable place within the concert hall. The intersections between song, symphony, opera and the spoken word that form these works immediately pose questions concerning musical unity, narrative interpretation, issues of genre, and performance style. While the musical and literary aspects of the three compositions have been the
subject of scholarly attention, this study turns its gaze onto the various visual dimensions that are present within Lelio, Romeo et Juliette and La damnation de Faust. By emphasising the presence of spectacle in Berlioz's compositions, questions soon arise concerning the implications of these visual elements for performance. Berlioz's relatively early work, Lelio, illustrates the extent to which the composer is already concerned with how the visual suppression of performing bodies can create and change narrative meanings. Romeo et Juliette raises the curtains that hide Lelio's musical forces. Rather than simply distilling Shakespeare's drama into music, Berlioz relies instead on a visual memory of Romeo and Juliet to replace the absence of physical characters within his 'symphonie dramatique', thus creating an aural rendition of a past theatrical event. Through an exploration of the spectacle within Lelio and Romeo et Juliette, we see how Berlioz has constructed a visually detailed imaginary theatre that resides within the score. An understanding of this imaginary theatre is integral in the subsequent analysis of Berlioz's controversial and wonderfully diabolical La damnation de Faust. This work is performed as often in the opera house as it is in the concert hall. However, an in-depth analysis of the libretto and score reveals curious and occasionally contradictory visual implications. The impact that these contradictions have on the visual dimension in the performance of La damnation de Faust will be explored through a reading of two ground-breaking productions: Raoul Gunsbourg's La damnation de Faust from 1893 - the first production to treat Berlioz's score as an opera; and Robert Lepage's mixed-media production of La damnation. The work of these two directors serves to highlight, perhaps inadvertently, the problematic effects of Berlioz's imaginary theatre on the necessarily more concrete realisations of La damnation when confined within the opera house. However, the cinematic approach of Lepage suggests another avenue of performance that has the potential to reveal new dimensions of Berlioz's unique dramatic-symphonic works. Ultimately, it may be that the supreme technicolour nature of Berlioz's music always functions to transport us beyond our own mundane experiences and forever challenges us to seek something beyond the limits of the possible, however much those limits might change.

▼ Despite nearly 40 years of research on the topic of film and geography, geographers have had little to say about location filming or the relationship between film production geographies and the geographies found in the mise en scène. On the one hand, economic geography has focused on the macro processes of Hollywood’s industrial agglomeration and the film industry’s changing mode of production. Here, the microgeographies of production workers, including those of the location scouts and production designers who are responsible for creating the spatial menageries that we see on the screen, have been ignored. What is needed, therefore, is an approach to film and geography that is capable of bridging economic geography, which provides vital insights into the function of the film industry but ignores the film product, and cultural geography, which fosters rich, textured understanding of cultural products and practices but which overly attends to the film text at the expense of its other dimensions. This dissertation addresses this lacuna by exposing some new dimensions of film geography research that will help align film geography with contemporary findings in geographic thought on practice, embodiment, more than-representationalism, and flat ontologies.

▼ Focusing on three important art and literary forms intensely involving visual images, namely, classical Chinese poetry, traditional Chinese painting, and travel writing, this thesis examines the modern transformations of
visuality in the late Qing period (1800–1911). Casting doubt on the prevalent rhetorically motivated interpretation of the use of “xiang (象image/imagery)” in traditional Chinese literature and art, the study offers an alternative perspective to read those images, by drawing upon the concept of “visuality” from visual studies and interpreting the making of visual images in artworks as the subject’s literary or artistic construction of visual experience. The detailed investigations of late Qing
visuality and its modern changes in the practices of poet Gong Zizhen 龔自珍(1792-1841), painter Ren Bonian任伯年 (1840-1896), and writer Kang Youwei 康有為 (1858-1927) constitute the main body of this thesis. These investigations illuminate the underlying relationships between the construction of the visual, the artist as the viewing
subject, and the viewing world, as well as their interactions in the context of late Qing China. Meanwhile, new social and cultural trends were reflected in the visual practices of those artists, including the emergence of the modern
subject, the rise of popular taste in art, and the Sino-Western comparative perspective on the modern West during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In identifying these socio-cultural changes, this study argues that the modern transformations of
visuality in late Qing China made an essential, if subtle, contribution to the shaping of modern Chinese intellectuals and the multiplicity of the Chinese modern.

▼ My dissertation, Berries Bittersweet: Visual Representations of Black Female Sexuality in Contemporary American Pornography interrogates how pornography, from the 1930s to the present, functions as an essential site in the production of black female sexuality. Closely reading a diverse pool of primary pornographic visual materials, across print, moving image and the internet, such as photographs, magazines, trade magazines, videos, DVDs, and internet website viewings, I argue that pornography offers an ambiguous casting of black female sexuality, simultaneously constructing the black female body as craved and contemned yet ultimately not merely other, but in-human (not woman). Pornography's inscription of racial, sexual alterity on the black female body is both somatic and symbolic. After an overview of the history of pornography, its central yet liminal relationship to nation and oft ignored collisions with race, I unveil print pornography (photograph, cartoon and magazine) as a medium that ultimately speaks to the photograph's task of visualizing a "real" and authentic racialized body. I argue that men's magazines such as Playboy and Players are important texts that delineate pornographic imaginings of desire and national belonging circumscribed by race. I then explore early moving image porn and the stag genre beginning in the 1930s, arguing that the black female body within stag films challenges the rigidity of gender roles that the films subscribe to, ultimately contesting the black female's position within the bounds of American womanhood. The decade of the 1970s, pornography's golden age, an intensely ambivalent era in the history of American pornography, marks a moment of mainstream recognition for the black female body within pornography, yet her inclusion is still underscored by the premise of her racial sexual difference and her performance of primitivized and pathologized sexuality. I examine the golden age as a critical juncture where hard core pornography, blaxploitation, and these two genres' analogous pornographic gaze – a heteronormative and sexualizing sociality – cemented the black female body as intelligible in and through not just her pornographication, but her representation as pornographic body produced and consumed for a mainstream mass market audience. This ambivalence marks the black female in her transition from the stag era in the 1930s, through the golden age of pornography in the 1970s, into the video age beginning in the mid 1980s and through the present. It is most vivid in my discussion of taboo and the popular and financially prosperous phenomenon of black/white interracial pornography. I frame my discussion of Internet interracial porn against the history of American miscegenation and the coeval yet persistent national ideologies of racialized American womanhood and manhood deeply steeped in sexuality. I unveil interracial pornography, one of the most consumed and financially prosperous types of American pornography, as a domain of porn especially invested in the…

▼ This dissertation is a work in visual historical methodology, grounded in examples and artifacts from the colonial history of the Congo Free State (1885-1908) and Belgian Congo up to the time of decolonization and independence (1908-1960). The study focuses on the Tetela, once a colonial “tribe” known as the Batetela, and today a loosely configured “community” whose members think of themselves, according to the terms of modern African politics, including cultural politics, as belonging to a larger Mongo “ethnicity.” Part of my purpose in this dissertation is to show how Tetela constituted themselves as historical and collective subjects, connected to key events and spaces in Congo’s colonial history, in and through
visuality. More specifically, my dissertation locates how Tetela ways knowing and seeing, and also being Tetela emerged and shifted in visual worlds from the late 1880s to 1960. The Tetela emerged visibly, immediately, and as modern subjects in relation to Zanzibari and then Belgian overlords, raiders, and patrons in the 1880s and 1890s. Seventy years later the emergence of Patrice Lumumba, who was born and raised a Tetela, in Congo’s decolonizing politics reproblematized this group as an early colonial category. Between the 1880s and the late 1950s the formation of collective Tetela subjects as well as individual Tetela self-fashioning, partly took place in
visuality: through the creation, aggregation and circulation of certain images and iconic objects in and across networks and spaces, in time. This visual knowledge was also, especially after the Second World War, a way of inscribing meanings on photographs by intervening into their creation, and through ways of seeing. These By the 1950s, a certain understanding of who the Tetela were was in place. This understanding expressed itself, sometimes obliquely and at other times overtly, in the ways that Patrice Lumumba was imaged, and also imagined by supporters and detractors alike. By applying visual methodologies to artifacts, situations, moments, texts, persons, names, and “ethnic” as well as social categories, this study seeks locate Tetela
subject formation, collective and individual, in images and visual worlds.

▼ This thesis argues that the ways in which trans-ness functions within telemediated spaces disrupts the conventions of new media studies that would assert reality is established primarily through visual engagement. In Tom Cho’s collection of short stories, Look Who’s Morphing, the reader is confronted with characters and situations that are transgender, transcultural, and transhuman. By presenting characters who embody multiple forms of trans-ness and who cross the boundaries between fictional stories, play with the uneasy distinction between narrative self and self in the world, and move between the biological and technological, Cho pushes the reader to confront the body’s mutability. Given the ways in which the characters in Cho’s work destabilize our realities, I argue that they work as well against commonly held assumptions about bodily authenticity and integrity. I suggest finally that due to the persistent shifts, crosses, and changes that Cho’s characters undergo both within and between stories, we are forced to imagine these characters without reference to regimes of visibility.

▼ Este estudo analisa a tradução poética do mito Exu em fotografias do livro Laróyè de Mario Cravo Neto. Exu, enquanto o mais humano dos orixás do candomblé, que participa da dialética do sagrado e profano na construção de uma cultura baiana. Dessa forma investiga os aspectos formais da luz e sombra, cores, movimento de algumas imagens fotográficas, no sentido de aproximá-las de algumas aspectos do Exu como orixá mensageiro, isto é aquele que transmite as mensagens entre os orixás e as pessoas. É o orixá do movimento dos corpos e que tem aspectos ligados à sensualidade e fecundidade, é dele que dependem o desenvolvimento e o transporte de todas as coisas do universo. Para tanto, utiliza-se uma metodologia de análise com base na semiótica e na teoria da imagem fotográfica, para o desvendar estudo da obra de Cravo Neto.
This study analyses the poetics translations of the myth Exu in Laróyè, a photography book by Mario Cravo Neto. Exu is the most human among the orixás from Candomblé and is of great importance in the formation of bahian culture as it is present in its sacred and profane aspects. The methodology used is the analysis of photography images based on semiotics and captured by the tenses of Cravo Neto. Through the analysis of the images, the author highlights their conceptual aspects, as well as formal ones, such as lighting, shadow, color, movement and portrayed bodies themselves.

▼ Amplifications in photographic production and the increased access to images in the 21st century uniquely position photography to articulate and intervene in social structures of power and provide new opportunities for civic engagement. In particular, photography has the potential to articulate and resist what can be understood as a politics of disposability, or the ways in which particular populations are rendered superfluous to the economic and social logic of neoliberalism and channeled out of society. I assert that neoliberal violence must be understood, in part, as a visual problem: the particularities of representation and visibility must be examined in light of the need to consider neoliberal social and economic policies as something other than an inevitability. This dissertation explores the ways that photography can serve to make visible not only the people and discourses that have been marginalized and suppressed, but the structures of disposability itself.
Developments in artistic practices and departures from traditional documentary genres converge with precarious labor conditions for cultural workers to widen the parameters for photographic production. The resulting work engages both with the ontological questions of what documentary photography has become as well as with its ability to operate as a potential site of activism—rather than mere representation—through new modes of mediation. This dissertation examines new photographic work that addresses the multiple facets of a neoliberal politics of disposability, the effects of which are compounded by race, class, and gender: police violence and domestic militarization, the skyrocketing rate of women’s incarceration, and the institutional threats to youth and activism in the public sphere. These emergent photographic practices employ new strategies of visualization in order to complicate the viewer’s relationship to representations of violence, contributing to a discourse that broadens the possibility for a critical and productive use of photographs, and imagining alternatives to the material and ideological conditions of neoliberal disposability.
Thesis
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
This dissertation examines the ability of emergent modes of documentary photography to articulate and resist social and political violence that is characteristic of neoliberalism, for example the domestic militarization and increased incarceration rates, the shrinking of access to the public sphere, and the particular ways in which certain populations become especially vulnerable to such violence. Shifts in photographic production thanks to new media platforms and the reconfigurations of traditional photography genres have produced photographic strategies that are crucially poised to address such issues. The photographers and projects explored in this dissertation employ new ways of visualizing violence, speaking back to the ways that photography can be used to stultify discourse and misrepresent populations, and harnessing innovative modes of proliferating their…

▼ A tese teórico-prática de doutoramento apresentada contempla a
investigação, a criação, a produção e a conceptualização da instalação artística
interativa intitulada Por baixo da pele outra pele.
A Obra é constituída por três objetos tridimensionais concebidos à escala
humana. Recorre a materiais flexíveis, como têxteis, convidando o público (interator),
à envolvência física, numa relação corporal sensorial e sensual com a obra. Os
objetos contêm dispositivos técnicos interativos e sensores tácteis, que, ao serem
utilizados, desencadeiam estímulos multissensoriais no espectador.
A instalação interativa focaliza a experiência háptica e íntima do interator
considerando os seus mecanismos sensoriais e cognitivos como um potencial
aparato na construção de experiências fenomenológicas, singulares e individuais. A
autora considera a interatividade enquanto elemento potenciador da experiência
estética visual háptica. Na argumentação conceitual da obra, reflete-se sobre o tema
da visualidade háptica interativa a partirdos conceitos de ecrã, corpo e interface,
assim como de endossensorialidade.
Instrumentam-se metodologias de investigação em ação, experimentais e
observacionais. Apresentam-se os processos investigativos, criativos e técnicos
necessários ao desenvolvimento e à materialização da instalação artística.
A investigação revela-se de grande interesse para o avanço da pesquisa de
novas linguagens experimentais apresentando estratégias de criação artística que,
ao privilegiarem o corpo físico e fenomenológico do interator, transpõe a experiência
háptica interativa para um grau interno de imersão motoro-sensorial; Underneath the skin another skin: art installation. Body, screen and interface towards
an interactive haptic
visuality.
Abstract:
The theoretical-practical doctorate dissertation presents the research and
conceptual framework behind, and the processes leading to, the creation and
production of the interactive installation art piece Underneath the skin, another skin.
The piece is presented in the shape of three human-scale tridimentional
objects. It is made from flexible materials, such as textiles, inviting the (interacting)
audience, to physically engage in a bodily sensorial, and sensuous, relationship with
the artwork. The objects enclose interactive devices and tactile sensors that, when
used, trigger in the interactor multiple sensorial stimuli.
The interactive installation focuses on the interactor's intimate haptic
experience taking in consideration his or hers sensorial and cognitive mechanisms as
a potential apparatus in the construction of unique individual phenomenological
experiences. The author understands interactivity as a triggering element into an
haptic visual aesthetical experience. The supporting conceptual reasoning deals with
thought and criticism on interactive haptic
visuality applied to the concepts of screen,
body and interface, as well as with that of endo-sensoriality.
The dissertation describes the use of experimental and observation research
methodologies. It also elaborates…

▼ ABSTRACTWriting Beauty:John Ruskin’s Vision of Neural Imagination in the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne and George EliotBySheena Berwick This dissertation responds to a growing awareness of beauty and visual sensibility in mid-to-late 19th-century British and American novels. These works demonstrate the authors’ appreciation of beauty as a condition of body, mind, soul, and culture. It also illustrates their ability to create through the text an evocative technique of visual writing that creates an imaginative and sensual connection to beauty in the reader’s neuro-visual experience of their art. In considering this development, the dissertation explores the human imagination of writer and reader: ideas, coded into neural transmissions between writer and reader through the medium of text which creates and recreates fictional worlds through mental images, and consequently produces emotional realities in the reader. I attribute this creative partnership in writing and reading to the perception, writing, and reading theories of John Ruskin, and especially to his discussions of beauty, sensuality and imagination expressed throughout the early volumes of his master works, Modern Painters. Ruskin thought of the experience of beauty in nature and art as an embodied product of the brain/mind, traveling freely through the mind and body changing one’s perceptions of the world and our relations to it. The human response to art in this view is transmitted through the individual back into society, affecting others and transforming society. If we think of beauty this way, we are thinking of it as a neuroaesthetic communications network circulating pleasure and delight and social enhancement—emotional, psychological, physical and moral —moving as a personal gift to the soul of the community. Another way to understand this happy interchange would be as a neuro-hormone pleasure highway. Ruskin, after all, proposed his own version of this when he imagined the processes of the undefinable feeling called beauty—what science has since discovered as hormonal and chemical products of the brain—distributing elixirs of pleasure from the mind through the body’s mapped highways of veins and arteries. Ruskin’s description of these sensations in reaction to beauty were based on his attention to his physio-biological processes in the 1840s. One hundred and fifty years later modern science put Ruskin’s theory to a neurological test. Semir Zeki—a founder of the field of neuroaesthetics and the first scientist to study the effect of beauty and romantic love on the brain— discovered through fMRI technology that the experience of beauty is part of a continuum [at the orbito-frontal cortex] representing a value attributed to it by the brain. The experience of the pleasure of beauty, his team discovered, increases with neural activity associated with the individual brain’s response. Zeki’s work confirms Ruskin’s deductions of the mysterious passage of beauty from the brain’s response to perception channeled through the body. This opens up Ruskin’s…

▼ This study examines Anlo-Ewe indigenous knowledge systems and the extent to which they inform
and explain the scope and significance of the visual arts as employed in Vodu religion and
spirituality. The thesis further explores the particular ways in which artistic expression and local
aesthetic norms are articulated in everyday modes of being-in-the world in order to sustain
arguments on the significant place of the visual arts in Anlo-Ewe Vodu religion and spirituality.
One of the major premises and conclusions of this thesis is that religious and ritual contexts often
constitute significant sites for discoursing and exhibiting artistic-aesthetic preferences—these sites
have been largely underrepresented in studies on Ewe society, history and culture. A growing
number of contemporary art historians recognize and attempt to explain the integration of
indigenous worldview and spirituality as part of the larger sociocultural universe in which artisticaesthetic
expressions are encountered; this study builds significantly on this trend of scholarship
in African art history. The thesis demonstrates and at the same time argues for a deeper
understanding of not only the ways in which religious and artistic-aesthetic expressions are closely
interrelated, but also the specific ways in which they are dialogically connected to and rooted in
indigenous ontologies and knowledge systems. Analytical perspectives draw on several
disciplinary sites, including methods of art history, oral history and debates in cultural
anthropology, linguistics, religious studies, critical theory and postcolonial studies. Field methods
and techniques of research emphasize qualitative approaches with visual ethnography,
ethnographic interviews, oral history, direct observation, practice-based research and
autoethnography as the primary modes of data collection and analysis. The theory and practice of
the autoethnographic research encouraged constructive but critical engagement of personal
biographical, experiential and deeply reflective moments as integral parts of the total interpretive
framework. Drawing additionally on techniques of purposive, simple random sampling techniques
and stratified further (e.g., along gender, age, type of shrine or religious house, etc.) the
investigation identifies and underscores the relevance of indigenous philosophical outlook,
knowledge systems, and everyday lived experiences in understanding the aesthetic dimensions of
the visual arts in Anlo-Ewe Vodu religion and spirituality. Key findings and conclusions build on
emergent perspectives and methodologies of African religious traditions and expressive art forms
that privilege contextual-functional and “art-for-life’s sake” understanding, including spheres of
xi
religion and spirituality. Additionally, the thesis provides major correctives based on a set of
indigenous perspectives and practices (in the areas of aesthetics, philosophy, visual arts and
religious traditions) and which caution former and lingering usages and misguided…

▼ Multimodal theory has developed out of social semiotics and can be seen as a response to the rise in the use of new technologies for the creation, distribution and consumption of media texts and the need to find new ways of describing and explaining their role in representation and communication. Its development is historical. It is a response to change over time. The incorporation of the visual into social semiotics marks a key moment in the development of multimodal theory. Visual literacy is discussed in relation to changes in modes of representation and a critique of this concept is provided. This is conducted in relation to how the visual modality has been integrated into social semiotics as a platform for research into multimodal communication more generally. Framing is developed along three main lines of enquiry (semiotic, cognitive and affective) as alternative ways of accounting for some of these shifts in communication and each are presented in the form of case studies. Framing and its close relationship with composition in media texts is discussed and this understanding, one that emphasise proximity as a multimodal principle, is applied to the visual design of content, the realisation of context through the provision visual cues, and later to embodiment and urban space. The three case studies, the application of framing to a range of media texts, the critical judgements made about the role visual in contemporary theory and the application of these concepts to multimodality are presented as part of an intellectual journey.

▼ The practical work produced for this PhD study demonstrates filmmaking creativity influenced by a Surrealist world view, ideas and practices, such as utilising dreams, chance, collaboration, altered states of mind, transformations and creating new myths. Since the Surrealist movement eschews the usual strategies of a definition based on style or genre and aims at the alternative realms of reality, this filmmaking project engages with the Surrealist ’intention’ by drawing on sensory experience and connecting imagination through the sense of touch. The seven films that make up the portfolio of practical work for this PhD: Ghosts (2011), Polednice/The Noon Witch (2012), Necropolis: A Walk through the Graveyard (2014), The Secret Life of Moths (2013), Nightmare on a Train (2016), Blackbird (2016) and Mortido (2017), demonstrate that tactile images not only help in expressing Surreality through the personal senses but also invite the imagination of the viewers’ embodied experience. Additionally, the PhD project highlights certain strategies that are often employed by female artists, in engaging with Surrealism from the perspective of the muse, exploring the self in a process of constant evolution, and transforming trauma into new myths towards self-knowledge. The study also proposes Surrealism as a therapeutic avenue to reflect on a missing or uncertain identity or history.

▼ Towards a Poetics of Bafflement asserts that blackness baffles—confuses and frustrates—the order of knowledge that deems black subjectivities as pathological. This dissertation argues for the importance of the psychic and affective spaces that emerge in the work of contemporary black women and queer artists. A poetics of bafflement is foregrounded by racial slavery and diaspora formations that inform contemporary racial antagonisms. The visual work of Deana Lawson, Zanele Muholi, and Mickalene Thomas, if read through a poetics of bafflement, engages blackness differently and conceptualizes new possibilities for world making. Black artists have long since occupied spaces of creative and critical thinking about aesthetics, race, and the politics of vision, which inform contemporary social, historical, and cultural climates.
Multiculturalism and subsequent post-race concepts are inadequate in thinking about alternative possibilities of world making as they suggest racism and anti-black sentiment are somehow no longer prevalent. Multiculturalism’s claim of diversity negates the continued logics of anti-black sentiment, whereas post-racial suggests a time and place in history where race no longer informs political, economic, and socio-cultural experiences. Black cultural production continues to be at the crossroads of these debates. The complex interplay between race anxieties and the politics of contemporary visual culture remains opaque, even as it proliferates. Deana Lawson, Zanele Muholi, and Mickalene Thomas are among a generation of artists who have gained a certain level of North American and European recognition. Common to many of these artists is a concern with the limits of form and genre, particularly in relation to the photographic image, the queer body and the undoing of gender, and ruminations on desire and the erotic. Towards a Poetics of Bafflement responds to the absence of affect studies in addressing racial slavery—and, specifically, bafflement’s imprint on the present.

▼ One of the salient changes East Asian films have
undergone during the past decade of globalization is their
increasing tendency to foreground affective intensities that are
excessive in relation to their thematic or signifying aspects. My
dissertation, The Vicissitudes of Postnational Affects:
Visuality,
Temporality, and Corporeality in Global East Asian Films, explores
political implications of these affective features as expressed in
some of the recent East Asian films, focusing on their
relationships with the postnational condition that has increasingly
swept over East Asia during the past two decades. By the term
postnational condition, I mean the recent remarkable change in the
mode of socio-political power, which is characterized by the
gradual simultaneous processes of the decline of sovereign and
disciplinary powers and the rise of global neoliberal
governmentality. As such, the postnational condition needs to be
understood as a double-edge sword in the sense that it makes it
possible for hitherto unrepresentable affective others to emerge at
the same time that it prepares for a new condition that makes it
possible to manage and rationalize them in such a calculative
manner that it may preempt subversive forms of affective otherness
from appearing. My dissertation calls attention to how recent East
Asian films have responded to this postnational condition in
different ways by developing various kinds of narrative and
stylistic strategies that can cinematically express, as well as
cope with, this affective otherness. ❧ My dissertation focuses on
three aspects of film experience—its visual, temporal, and
corporeal ones—in which affective otherness is expressed in films.
Part I focuses on the phenomenon of global exoticism and discusses
and compares different ways East Asian films deploy the aesthetics
of the exotic vis-à-vis the dominant neoliberal tactics of
valorizing visual alterity or excess. If Kim Ki-duk’s recent films
such as Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring (2003) and 3-Iron
(2004) show how the exotic can undergo generification, thereby
losing its singularity in accordance with the neoliberal
governmental management of visual excess, Hou Hsiao-hsien’s recent
films, such as Flowers of Shanghai (1998) and Flight of the Red
Balloon (2007) illustrate the possibility that the residual,
unvalorizable exotic can appear in the cinema of the era of
neoliberal governmentality. ❧ Part II addresses how affective
otherness can be expressed through contingency and temporal
heterogeneity. The compulsive repetition characteristic of Hong
Sang-soo’s Tale of Cinema (2005) serves to turn otherwise singular
contingencies into probabilistic, and thus valorizable chances.
This examination of Hong’s film shows how neoliberal
governmentality regularizes these temporal disturbances through the
process of the real subsumption of time. Yet, alternative thoughts
on time such as Deleuze’s notion of the empty form of time and
Benjamin-Agamben’s notion of the dialectical image indicate the
possibility that unvalorizable…

▼ Protest movements have traditionally strategized tactics for “appeal” through the use of performative, symbolically-laden actions in the offline sphere. This thesis examines the process of visual representation of protest movements across social media through an analysis of images relating to recent protests in Turkey (#OccupyGezi), Ukraine (#Euromaidan) and Venezuela (#SOSVenezuela). It looks to determine how the use of Twitter challenged and changed protester capabilities in strategizing their movement as visually appealing, especially for external audiences. By performing a collective case study and a qualitative- interpretive visual method on published and disseminated Twitter images, the study addresses the lacuna surrounding the impact of social media use on protester strategies for building attention and support. It focuses on the publication and dissemination of online images, and how Twitter, as the site of circulation, challenges visual narratives of protest. It finds that autonomy over images and their framing can help set the initial narrative on protester behavior and the context in which they are acting, thus reducing the traditional “protest paradigm” that has plagued past protest movements. However, the injection of external participants on Twitter into the redistribution of images leads to a slight reconstitution of appeal strategies online, and the overall visual narrative of the protest is reduced to a pure ‘spectacle’ rather than a meaningful political performance. The battle to be seen inevitably prioritizes attention at the expense of more substantive understandings of cultural, social and political consequences surrounding localized protest movements.

▼ This thesis views Lermontov’s novel "A Hero of Our Time" as centered on images, glances and vision. In his text Lermontov conveys a persistent fascination with visual perception. The attentive reader can read this language of the eye—the eye can be seen as a mirror of the soul, a fetish, a means of control, and a metaphor for knowledge. The texts that form the novel are linked together by a shared preoccupation with the eye. At the same time, these texts explore the theme of visual perception from different angles, and even present us with different attitudes towards vision. Some are guided by literature, some—by science and physiognomy, and some—by spiritualism and imagination. Since imagination—the lack of it and more often an excess of it—is a persistent motif of the novel, this thesis also explores metaphorical blindness in "A Hero of Our Time."

The graffiti texture in Barcelona: An ethnography of

▼ Jaques Ranciére (2009b) argues that if there is a
political question in contemporary art, ‘…it will be grasped
through the analysis of the metamorphoses of the political ‘third’,
the politics founded on the play of exchanges and displacements
between the art world and that of non art’ (2009b:51). Looking at
graffiti and street art in Barcelona as ‘textures’, which stimulate
the mind, body and senses. I have investigated what public space
means for its inhabitants through the material nature of the
surfaces by which it is contained and by applying media devices.
This has led me to develop an ethnography of encounters,
perceptions and sensibilities linked to political practices and
different modes of participation in the everyday life of the city.
Following Jacques Ranciére’s (2004) conception of ‘political
aesthetics’, I argue that the aesthetic of graffiti and street art
can be embodied according to different sensible orders in the city.
The public space is key in this process and I see it as an
interface between graffiti artists, the general public and the
institutions of the city. Graffiti activate the urban landscape
through visual and tactile transformations of space through
surfaces. These interactions, as De Certeau (1985) claims about
everyday practices, may articulate narratives, which became the
main source of information for this thesis. Thinking about the
graffiti works in Barcelona in terms of Bakhtin’s (1981) idea of
‘the chronotope’, I have recounted the stories, which make the
transformation of public space indicative of the everyday life of
the city applying practices of collaboration, dialogue and
intervention. These practices connected me to different surfaces of
the city so as to explore how their material qualities are
permeated with social relations and artistically inscribed with
historical and political meanings. Here, graffiti and the city
formed a compound of images in which I have studied the ‘visuality’
of graffiti in Barcelona. This, as Hal Foster (1988) argues,
encloses at the same time social facts and physical operations
(body and psyche) and moves, as I will show throughout this thesis,
between dominant and resistance cultures. In short, I have
materialized these ideas and images in the graffiti texture of
Barcelona, seeing it as a mutable surface, which mediates between
different ways of seeing and living in this city.

▼ Rapid and ongoing developments in the field of computer-generated imagery (CGI) have reached a point where the synthetic image strives to become almost indistinguishable from the real. This desire for realism in the filmic image has seen CGI thrive in mainstream popular culture: from Hollywood cinema through to advertising. Large visual effects (VFX) and CGI animation companies are often at the vanguard of research and development in this area, driving CGI development toward the production of realism. This over-investment in ‘realistic’ imaging has all but erased the potential for broad experimentation in CGI techniques and aesthetics, and has seen the emergence of an aesthetic realism manifested by the eradication of error and materiality, wherein all traces of the process of production are excised from the image. This research project explores the technical and aesthetic effects of the erasure of error in contemporary CGI and how this affects the capacity of CGI to approach the abject as defined by Julia Kristeva. Focusing on the ‘trace’ in motion capture and its relationship to the power of the close-up image in film and photographic contexts, I look at how digital artefacts can exist as a critical part of a process of experimentation in CGI. These ‘errors’ take the form of unprocessed motion capture data, unfiltered, compression image artefacts and low-sample rate renders, as well as reduced polygonal modelling techniques. Exploring the production of images that embrace these ‘errors’ affords the possibility to introduce ‘fallibility’ and embodied artefacts into the system of image production, and reveal both a material trace of the technology as well as the artist.This research identifies technical and aesthetic processes that introduce a greater degree of haptic
visuality into CGI images, as a means of approaching abjection. These experiments in motion capture techniques, code transformations, and close-up lenticular imagery, introduce error and materiality into CGI in order to interrogate the material field and affective (or abjective) power of the CGI close-up. Through these practical experiments, I argue that the viewer is afforded greater access to haptic
visuality: a tactile experience of images which is crucial to experiencing the abject, and which moves beyond mainstream CGI's use of grotesque imagery. Further, these experiments reveal the possibilities for the creation of new and engaging CGI aesthetic forms that embrace the digital artefact, and which re-insert the abject body and trace into the digital realm.

▼ Väitöstutkimus analysoi julkisia poliittisia performansseja poliittisena viestintänä. Poliittiset performanssit voidaan ymmärtää julkisissa tiloissa toimeen pantuina ’näytöksinä’, joiden tavoitteena on luoda arkisiin rutiineihin yllättäviä katkoksia ja synnyttää uutta toimintatilaa jonkin yhteiskunnallisen ongelman esiin nostamiseksi. Performanssit synnyttävät katkoksia monin tavoin, mutta erityisen leimallista niille on näkyvän, vallalla olevan visuaalisen järjestyksen murtaminen tuomalla siihen erilaisia ’häiritseviä’ (disruptive) elementtejä: resistoivia kehoja, valtaa parodioivia kuvia, karnevalistista protestointia, katuteatteria jne.
Poliittisten performanssien viestintä perustuu puheen sijaan tai ohella toimijoiden oman kehon ja sen kantamien erilaisten visuaalisten merkkien julkiseen esittämiseen, joskus hyvin äärimmäisellä tavalla, kuten esimerkiksi nälkälakoissa ja polttoitsemurhissa. Väitöskirjassa tällaista viestintätyyliä kutsutaan visuaaliseksi ja esteettiseksi politikoinniksi. Tutkimuksessa analysoidaan useita esimerkkejä performatiivisesta poliittisesta viestinnästä ja kehitetään teoreettisia ideoita sen ominaispiirteiden tulkitsemiseksi.; In this doctoral thesis I study a phenomenon which I have titled as public political performance. By public political performance I refer to a public event (a ’show’, display, demonstration) the purpose of which is to expose in public and challenge those social-political norms, practices, and relations of power which usually remain invisible in the sway of routine political life. I am interested especially in how performance works as a form of non-linguistic, or wider than linguistic, political communication. I theorize and analyze, through several illustrative examples, performances from three perspectives: as corporeal (bodily), visual, and aesthetic communication. In construction of theory I use and partly rework ideas from thinkers such as Jürgen Habermas, Michel Foucault, Hannah Arendt, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and Jacques Ranciere. The study shows that public political performance is a sensitive, even volatile phenomenon because it often manifestly exposes the fundamentally violent power structure of society – as when, for example, street demonstrations induce strong counter reactions from the police and political authorities – and puts this order under critical public scrutiny. Political authorities do not take such challenges lightly, which is why public performances sometimes instigate serious political controversies.
The key theoretical ideas of the study relate to performance as something done and en/acted. On the one hand, performance discloses the nature of politics as a ‘doing.’ This means in simple terms that, in order to subsist, the political world needs to be done, performed, and ‘iterated,’ every time anew. The term performative describes this social-constructivist side of politics. That the constitution of the social and political power is based not on any ‘natural’ ground but on continuous re/iteration of certain ways and routines is often…

▼ En partant de l’idée que la guerre et les images sont deux notions interdépendantes, la thèse reprend deux concepts clés : visualité et contre-visualité. La visualité, étant une façon de perpétuer la guerre, représente les discours dominants. L’art contemporain serait donc une possibilité de construction de contre-visualités. La « guerre globale » contemporaine - totale et dispersée - aurait une production visuelle qui lui correspondrait : des images d’amateurs, elles aussi dispersées et de grande circulation. Comment ces images, généralement liées à la sphère privée, se sont converties en enregistrements de la guerre contemporaine ? Comment l’art fait face à la guerre et à la visualité dominante par le biais du remploi de ces images ? La recherche essaie de définir cette production d’images « amateur » et de l’encadrer dans le temps conflictuel du présent. Une telle production serait-elle une résistance à la visualité actuelle ou au contraire quelque chose qui la renforce ? Ensuite, à travers un corpus circonscrit de quatre artistes visuels contemporains (Clarisse Hahn, Rabih Mroué, Coco Fusco et Thomas Hirschhorn), nous travaillons l’hypothèse que la réutilisation de ces images peut contribuer à la construction d’une contre-visualité : par le geste artistique, l'enlèvement de ce matériau d'un certain flux provoquerait un arrêt, une déviation vers une reconfiguration du sensible où le facteur conflictuel serait mis en évidence. Dans un troisième moment, la thèse se penche sur l'œuvre des années 1970 de Jean-Luc Godard et Anne-Marie Miéville, quand ils interrogent les forces et les faiblesses du cinéma militant et mettent en question les images et leurs potentialités. Certaines de leurs procédures créatives sont examinées rétrospectivement, car à notre avis, elles sont toujours présentes directement ou indirectement dans la pratique artistique des artistes de notre corpus.
Considering the idea that war and images are two interdependent concepts, the thesis deals with two key concepts: visuality and counter-visuality. Visuality as a way of perpetuating the war represents dominant discourses. Contemporary art would therefore be a possibility of constructing counter-visuality. The contemporary “global war” - total and dispersed - would have a visual production that would correspond to it: the amateur images, also scattered and widely circulated. How are these images - usually related to the private sphere - converted into records of contemporary war? How does art face war and the dominant visuality by utilizing these images?The research attempts to characterize this amateur production of images and to frame it in the conflicting time of the present. Would such a production be a resistance to the current visuality or, on the contrary, something that strengthens it? From then on, by analyzing a circumscribed corpus of four contemporary visual artists (Clarisse Hahn, Rabih Mroué, Coco Fusco and Thomas Hirschhorn), we work on the hypothesis that the reuse of these images can contribute to the construction of a…

▼ Cette thèse se propose de définir l'ékphrasis performée, de la théoriser et de montrer son applicabilité concrète aux études théâtrales. Il s'agit d'un syntagme par lequel nous désignons le point de rencontre entre les possibilités rhétoriques de l'ékphrasis et les moyens du performatif. Cependant, l'ékphrasis ne se réduit guère à une intention purement mimétique, mais elle est toujours l'expression d'un regard aussi distancié que partiel sur le monde. À partir de la théorisation qu'on a réalisée de l'ékphrasis performée, on a élaboré quelques instruments d'analyse dont l'objectif est de comprendre certains aspects de la construction de l'image sur scène, de son utilisation dans le théâtre en général et dans le théâtre contemporain en particulier. La deuxième et la troisième parties de la thèse présentent ensuite deux parcours de recherchedifférentes. Ainsi la deuxième partie est dédiée à l'oeuvre de Samuel Beckett, tandis que la troisième est dédiée au théâtre de Anagoor. Ces deux parties se présentent comme une forme d'application des principes de l'ékphrasis performée.
The aim of this thesis is to develop a theory of performed ékphrasis. This rhetoric figure, generally studied in comparatives studies between literature and visual arts, holds a performative potential. From theory, I have extracted relevant rhetoric tools for an understanding of some aspects of image building on (also contemporary) theatre action. Ékphrasis doesn’t just reply to a mimetic intention but it always returns a partial sight on reality. Following this performed ékphrasis perspective I havefocused on Samuel Beckett’s work and Anagoor’s contemporary performances.
La presente tesi di dottorato si propone di elaborare una teoria dell'ékphrasis performata. L'ékphrasis, categoria retorica normalmente trattata in studi comparativi tra letteratura e arti visuali, ha in sé un potenziale performativo che viene qui dimostrato. In seguito, dalla teoria, sono stati estratti degli strumenti di analisi per la comprensione di alcuni aspetti della costruzione dell'immagine in scena, del suo utilizzo nel teatro in generale e nel teatro contemporaneo in particolare. Poiché si tratta di una tecnica di slittamento tra generi e oggetti di natura diversa, che agisce con operazioni di montaggio e rimontaggio delle immagini (per via discorsiva o visiva), l'ékphrasis non risponde mai a un'intenzione puramente mimetica, ma restituisce sempre uno sguardo parziale sul mondo. In quest'orizzonte si presenta l'approfondimento di due casi emblematici per una concreta dimostrazione dei meccanismi di funzionamento dell'ékphrasis performata: l'opera Samuel Beckett e i lavori della compagnia italiana contemporanea Anagoor.

▼ Drawing on social movement literature, my thesis
examines if news media, NGO, business and government engagement of
the BP Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico is affected by issue or
event complexity,
visuality, or issue build-up. To engage this,
data from English language newspaper articles in the US, Canada,
and the UK, press releases by Greenpeace and Sierra Club, press
releases by BP, ExxonMobil, and Shell as well as press releases by
the White House are analyzed using both quantitative and
qualitative methods. I find that as an issue or event’s casual
narrative becomes less complicated and as it becomes easier to
portray visually its engagement by social and political actors
increases. I also find that issue engagement is influenced by
whether or not social and political actors signal an issue or an
event’s importance to others.
