    Blow up: photography, cinema and the brain

    Neidich, Warren, «Blow up: photography, cinema and the brain», , 2003 (www.warrenneeidich.com) AbstractThis paper explores the relationship between photography, cinema, and the evolving human brain, proposing that modern technological advancements in visual media have fundamentally transformed cultural interactions and perceptions. By tracing the historical development of optical technologies and their cultural implications, the study discusses how these technologies shape subjective experience and influence the neural organization of the brain. The author argues that contemporary imagery induces a dynamic understanding of space and time, suggesting that both the construction of culture and neural processes are continuously interlinked.

    Theatre and Performance Photography: Documentation and the “unlive”

    Anderson, Joel, «Theatre and Performance Photography: Documentation and the “unlive”». , Queen Mary, University of London, London 2008 Abstract Although theatre and performance photographs often illustrate scholarly works on theatre and performance, and despite recent interest in links between theatre and the still image from both theatre practitioners and theorists, there remains relatively little critical work on theatre photography. This thesis examines theatre photography, implementing approaches that are a departure from habitual conceptions of the photograph as document. Taking the intersection of theatre and photography as a vantage point, this thesis considers how photography might shape theatre rather than recording it, and how this might challenge notions of theatre’s constitution,…

    Napoleon Sarony’s living pictures: Photography, performance & American art, 1865-1900

    Pauwels, Erin Kristl, «Napoleon Sarony’s living pictures: Photography, performance & American art, 1865-1900». Ph.D., Indiana University, Ann Arbor, United States 2015 Abstract This dissertation investigates the complex artistic legacy of Napoleon Sarony, a pioneering figure in American photography. Based in Manhattan from 1866 until his death in 1896, Sarony was the most celebrated photographic portraitist of his era, known best for adapting the drama and fantasy of Gilded Age theatre to his construction of public images. Rather than creating straightforward likenesses of his subjects such as Sarah Bernhardt and Oscar Wilde, Sarony used flamboyant pose and costume, elaborate set-pieces and skillful retouching to create what he called “Living Pictures”—expressive portraits…

    Performing the image: Representations of the body in the avant -garde

    Hein, Nina, «Performing the image: Representations of the body in the avant -garde». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2005 Abstract This dissertation provides an interdisciplinary analysis of body imagery in Futurism, Dada, and Surrealism. Building on existing discourse on the body from aesthetic, sociohistorical and philosophical perspectives, the dissertation highlights the work of specific avant-garde artists who actively redefine the body in their work. Specifically, I analyze visual representations of the body in several media—painting, sculpture, photography, theatre performance, and film—as well as imagery of the body in avant-garde manifestos and theoretical and literary texts. I show how the avant-garde represented and promoted certain body images as part of…
