Never Mere Observation: Performance, Technology, and the Act of Looking
Krauter, Sarah G. Marsh, «Never Mere Observation: Performance, Technology, and the Act of Looking». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2017 Abstract Herbert Blau, in defining the act of looking as “never mere observation”, describes how the action of the visual faculty is not simply about seeing, but the engagement in an active, circulatory exchange between culture and viewer. Never Mere Observation posits a dialectical relationship between spectatorship, performance, and emerging technologies. In this study, my aim is to track a pattern of ideas and use to assert the possible connections between the evolution of technology and the evolution of narrative structure. The biomechanical function of the act of looking…

Mediated Presence: Performance Art and Technology
Khalifeh, Soulaf, «Mediated Presence: Performance Art and Technology». , , Abstract The whole tendency of modern communication whether in the press, in advertising or in the high arts is towards participation in a process, rather than the apprehension of concepts. And this major revolution, intimately linked to technology, is one whose consequences have not begun to be studied although they have begun to be felt.” Recalling McLuhan’s words, this paper is an attempt to study the effects and consequences of technology and how it allowed performance artists greater flexibility in experimenting with space, time and representation, engaging in a social and institutional critique. The pertinent questions here are: how are…

‘CINEMATOGRAPHIC’: AN EXPLORATION INTO THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TABLEAUX OF JEFF WALL AND GREGORY CREWDSON
Gerrie, Vanessa, «’CINEMATOGRAPHIC’: AN EXPLORATION INTO THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TABLEAUX OF JEFF WALL AND GREGORY CREWDSON». , , Abstract This dissertation will examine the ways in which two artists, Jeff Wall and Gregory Crewdson, use photography to create images that are cinematic not only aesthetically but technically. Their work allows us to identify a new kind of art photography. By placing their work within the context of the ÔPictures GenerationÕ of the 1970s we can see the evolution and the emergence of this photographic regime. The Pictures Generation of the 1970s and 1980s saw a shift in what was known as art photography. From the 1970s onwards artists such as Jeff…

Photo-performance: a study of the performativity of butoh dance photography
Bieszczad-Roley, Karolina, «Photo-performance: a study of the performativity of butoh dance photography». Ph.D., , Ann Arbor, United States 2010 Abstract This thesis analyses the detailed performativity and the intuitive act of photographing the Japanese dance form Butoh. It argues that the photographer’s embodied experience constitutes an ‘inner’ performance and introduces new terms: the photo-performance and the photo-actor. The author argues that the photo-performance, similarly to Butoh dance, manifests itself not only in physically apparent (visually perceived) movements but also within the multi-modal pre-reflective consciousness of the reciprocal interaction between the photo-actor and a Butoh dancer.Butoh has been widely photographed since it began in 1959 in Japan. However studies formalising the…

Foulkes, Richard, Lewis Carroll and the Victorian Stage : Theatricals in a Quiet Life, Routledge, 2017 Abstract Author of the enduringly popular Alice books, mathematician, Anglican cleric, and pioneer photographer, Lewis Carroll maintained a lifelong enthusiasm for the theatre. Lewis Carroll and the Victorian Stage is the first book to focus on Carroll’s irresistible fascination with all things theatrical, from childhood charades and marionettes to active involvement in the dramatisation of Alice, influential contributions to the debate on child actors, and the friendship of leading players, especially Ellen Terry. As well as being a key to his complex and enigmatic personality, Carroll’s interest in the theatre provides a vivid account…
