No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2013.Neste trabalho, apresento uma discussão sobre ritmo poético a partir daobra de Rui Pires Cabral. O corpus da pesquisa constitui-se por poemaspertencentes às duas versões do livro A super-realidade (1995; 2011) eao livro Longe da aldeia (2005). O principal objetivo do trabalho écompreender como a relação entre o sujeito poético e acontemporaneidade se desenvolve formalmente na poesia desse autorque opta pelo uso do verso livre, o que possibilita variadas leiturasrítmicas a cada poema. Para tanto, articulo um breve histórico sobreparte da poesia portuguesa contemporânea, acompanhado da reflexãoacerca de alguns conceitos formais mobilizados em tal obra a fim deentender como o ritmo poético contribui para materializar essa relação. Abstract : In this study, I present a discussion about poetic rhythm from the workof Rui Pires Cabral. The research corpus is constituted by poemsbelonging to the two versions of the book A super-realidade (1995;2011) and the book Longe da aldeia (2005). The main objective of thisstudy is to understand how the relationship between the poetic subjectand the contemporaneity formally develops in the poetry of this authorwho opts for the use of free verse, which enables different rhythmicreadings of each poem. Therefore, I articulate a brief history about thecontemporary Portuguese poetry, accompanied by a very general look ofsome formal concepts mobilized in such work in order to understandhow the poetic rhythm contributes to materialize this relationship
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Exploring Emptiness: An Investigation of MA and MU in My Sonic Composition Practice
No full textThe commentary investigates Japanese aesthetics of space, silence and emptiness - ma and mu - that informed my compositional practice during the research period 2012 - 2015. The portfolio comprises text compositions and sound installations in which forms of micro events and sustained events are employed. Throughout, the emphasis is on my personal engagement with, and manifestation of emptiness that concerns a particular model of listening and perception.
Chapter 1 discusses six primary research areas: ma and mu, material, text, form, listening and perception. Firstly, I introduce ma and mu by examining noh culture and Zeami's teaching of senu hima (where there is no-action) in the context of my personal approaches to music. The following subjects are then used to contextualise my PhD practice by means of examples from various composers and visual artists. Here, these particular and enigmatic concepts are explored through Japanese art as well as Western contemporary works by Alvin Lucier, Eliane Radigue and those of the Wandelweiser collective.
Part 2 provides contextual commentaries on selected compositions from the portfolio that mostly articulate my aesthetics in relation to the topics covered in Chapter 1. koso koso addresses my methodologies to investigate the essence of senu hima, followed by treow that discusses my approach to materials and the importance of space. I move on to grade two and grade two extended in order to examine text scores, and then, look into Espèces d'espaces 03 and 04 as examples of musical forms that I employ.
Finally, listening and perception are investigated through the compositions gnome and con.de.structuring. Throughout, I describe how my works explore emptiness as a result of my particular emphasis on listening over composing
Uma maquina de apagar(?): sulla riscrittura in José Cardoso Pires
No full textJosé Cardoso Pires è stato uno dei massimi scrittori portoghesi del Novecento. Punto di riferimento assoluto per un’intera generazione di autori (tra cui António Lobo Antunes, per fare un nome noto ai più), ha rappresentato un esempio di impegno, rigore e ricerca letteraria costanti, dimostrati da una produzione non amplissima, ma sempre innovativa ed estremamente personale, composta in prevalenza da opere narrative. L'atteggiamento di Cardoso Pires nei confronti della sua produzione letteraria è stato esemplificato dalla sua principale biografa, Inês Pedrosa, con una frase lapidaria: “Cada reedição era uma reescrita”. Una prima analisi delle varianti tra le diverse edizioni delle sue opere dà tendenzialmente ragione a questa affermazione, anche se, ad una rassegna sistematica e puntuale, essa non mantiene invariabilmente una validità assoluta. La tendenza estrema alla riscrittura deve essere confrontata anche con una famosa dichiarazione dello stesso autore, il quale affermò che, più che una macchina da scrivere, avrebbe avuto bisogno di una “maquina de apagar” (una macchina per cancellare). Anche questo concetto però non appare sempre confortato dai fatti, bensì sembra più avere a che fare con un problema di auto-rappresentazione artistica e di modelli di riferimento che con una vera e propria prassi creativa o rielaborativa. Il presente contributo ha dunque l'obiettivo di formulare alcune ipotesi e tentare di fornire qualche risposta relativa alle caratteristiche e alla portata della riscrittura cardosiana; oggi che il Fondo di José Cardoso Pires sta divenendo di dominio pubblico (come Espólio E53 della Biblioteca Nacional de Portugal, aperto nel 2008 grazie ad una serie di prime donazioni della famiglia), si potrà finalmente giungere ad una comprensione più profonda e completa dei percorsi e delle strategie che sottendono al processo di creazione letteraria attuato da un autore fondamentale per la letteratura portoghese (e non solo) del secondo Novecento
The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

Localized physical vapor deposition via focused laser spike dewetting of gold thin films for nanoscale patterning
No full textFocused laser spike (FLaSk) excitation has been demonstrated as a reliable technique for the patterning of micro-to-nanoscale features locally by thermocapillary shear of thin films. Recent work on polymer thin films has revealed that overlapping laser scans can leverage coupled thermal and fluid effects to create subwavelength patterns. Compared to polymeric films, metallic thin films possess both a lower melt viscosity and higher surface tension. Here we investigate overlapping effects in the dewetting of ~15 nm gold thin films on borosilicate and quartz glass substrates with a 532 nm continuous wave laser. During this process, FLaSk initiates capillary and thermocapillary dewetting simultaneously. Further, the low oxidation potential and high vapor pressure of gold lead to non-equilibrium vaporization during heating. Since the parameters of overlapping scans control the amount of material that is heated and to what temperature it is heated, selection of laser power, scanning distance, writing speed, and numerical aperture results in particles with different sizes and spacing deposited on the writing substrates or a positioned superstrate through a laser-induced localized physical vapor deposition (LILPVD) process. If the laser parameters are selected within a specific working range, uniform or periodic particle distributions can be repeatably deposited in this fashion, which can then be used as seeds for nanomaterial growth. In addition, if the substrate melts during FLaSk, the viscous forces of the liquid-on-liquid dewetting broadens the range of patterning conditions by resisting the motion of the gold leading to more uniform particles over a large range of parameters.Peer reviewe

Geochemistry and U-Pb Geochronology of the 1450-1425 Ma Large Igneous Province of Eastern Laurentia and 2480-780 Ma Large Igneous Provinces of Western Laurentia
No full textMesoproterozoic magmatism that is exposed on the eastern and western margins of Laurentia (North America) are interpreted to be parts of large igneous provinces (LIP). The western margin between Kimberley (British Columbia) and Yellowstone National Park (Wyoming), and the eastern margin between Labrador City and coastal Labrador are herein referred to as western Laurentia (WL) and eastern Laurentia (EL), respectively. WL intraplate magmatism was previously divided into two LIPs the: 1) ca. 1460 Ma Moyie-Purcell LIP (MPL) which consists of the i) Purcell lavas in the USA, ii) Moyie sills of the Belt-Purcell basin iii) dykes of the Tobacco Root Mountains and 2) the ca. 780 Ma Gunbarrel LIP. The MPL is composed of tholeiitic basalts, and associated with the world class Sullivan Pb-Zn deposit. EL consists of basalts of the non-mineralized Michael-Shabogamo Gabbros (MSG).This research demonstrated that at least 17 geochemical groups are present in WL of which some belong to additional previously unrecognized events. Seven geochemical groups belong to the ca. 1460 Ma MPL; 1 with the ca. 780 Ma Gunbarrel LIP, 2 with a 1590-1550 Ma Mammoth-Western Channel LIP (MWCL); 2 with ages of 2480, and 1420 Ma; and 5 undated mafic pulses. The MWCL is similar to contemporaneous volcanic rocks within the South Australia craton, which was adjacent to NW Laurentia ca. 1590 Ma. This study proposes a shared 1590 Ma plume and LIP magmatism between Laurentia, and South Australia cratons.The MSG of EL are subalkaline basalts enriched in P2O5 and K2O and are shown to represent a single event with 2 pulses based on new U-Pb ages. Each pulse is defined by a distinct [P2O5*1000]/Zr (P/Zr) ratio: 1) a high P/Zr group at ca. 1425-1435 Ma; and 2) a low P/Zr group at ca. 1435-1450 Ma. Enrichment of P2O5 and K2O is due to melting of a metasomatized subcontinental lithospheric mantle with melting facilitated by a slab window
