Underpainting
This manuscript, titled "Underpainting," is a collection of poems that reflect on childhood, family, war, beauty, and my own passage through girlhood as the child of a Somali father and an American mother. The poems touch upon the mythological figure of Helen of Troy, 9/11, and the way that trauma glows beneath the surface of present lived experience. Like layers of paint, suppressed experiences never truly disappear, even if partly obscured within the prism of memory. My poems grapple with self-presentation into womanhood, and the dressing down of beauty, lending another dimension to "underpainting," a term used in art books that illustrate techniques of the old masters of Renaissance painting. The brighter layers of paint flicker and cause the shadowy canvas to glow from within. Each poem in this manuscript peels away another layer of experience, dream, or reverie to lay bare some emotional truth of terrible beauty—and mystery. Like a painting, or any work of art, a memory poem is always abstract, always symbolic, yet somehow it reveals emotional truth with stark precision.M.F.A.by Safia Jam

Valorisation d’un fonds d’ouvrages d’art à l’heure du numérique dans le contexte d’une agence de publicité : le cas du service documentation de BETC
This dissertation studies how to exploit the full potential of a collection of books on art in an advertising agency where digital technology dominates. The author carried out qualitative interviews among a sample group of the company’s creative workers. These are used to show that the search needs for images by creative people, who are the main audience for books on art, are met by web resources. In the face of this competition, the image bank in the Documentation Center needs become more functional through an increased use of information management techniques. The approach should be two-fold : the implementation of a cataloguing plan for hard-copy resources and an online catalogue. To better use its resources, the Documentation Center should withdraw from direct competition with the web and become an instrument for business intelligence and a place for relaxing. The author highlights the roles played by the layout of the space and staff in terms of management, facilitation and mediation of the Documentation Center to fight effectively against the loss of interest in the collection.Ce mémoire étudie les moyens de revaloriser un fonds de livres d’art au sein d’une entreprise de publicité où le numérique est partout présent. L’auteur s’est appuyé pour sa réflexion sur des entretiens qualitatifs menés auprès d’un échantillon de créatifs de l’entreprise.Il montre qu’il existe une adéquation certaine entre la recherche d’images par les créatifs, premiers destinataires du fonds de livres d’art et les ressources offertes par Internet.Pour faire face à cette concurrence, le fonds image doit devenir plus fonctionnel, en s’appuyant davantage sur les techniques documentaires et ce à deux niveaux : par la mise en place d’un plan de classement physique des ouvrages et la mise en ligne du catalogue.Pour être revalorisé le fonds devra également se redéployer, hors concurrence directe avec Internet, en tant qu’instrument de veille et de détente culturelle.L’auteur souligne également le rôle joué par l’aménagement de l’espace et le rôle du personnel en termes de gestion, de médiation et d’animation pour lutter efficacement contre la désaffection du fonds
