The Powell-Cotton Dioramas and the Re-interpretation of an Idyll
No full textThis research examines the natural habitat dioramas created by Major P.H.G. Powell-Cotton, in doing so
it affects a remembering of a sense of place where a diorama reflects in Mieke Bal's view a three-dimensionality
that draws on architectural space; it then considers the three dimensional representation of
the landscape within the diorama itself; the two-dimensional illusion of a trompe l'oeil landscape
painting; and the exterior space occupied by the viewer. The Powell-Cotton natural habitat dioramas exist
behind large glass screens their purpose follows an aesthetic relationship with the emergence of the
natural habitat diorama and the ability to transfix perception through the re-interpretation of an idyll. The
potential for this practice-based research was to explore the possibility of developing an aesthetic for
sculpture and architectural space. However in focussing on the Powell-Cotton dioramas the notion of
aesthetic attitude would lose ground due to their idiosyncratic, artificial, and extraordinary nature, it then
prepared the basis of interpretation in establishing 'theatres of landscape' as an open concept. With
landscape, a sense of place anticipates various positions and numerous delays; it recollects the cognitive
knowledge brought to the prospect that involves aspects in, of and about landscape. Regarding the
studio-based project, the diorama was placed between the real and the unreal, challenging Bal's rationale
of the cognitive relationship of a diorama to the concept of a discursive space. Where both artist and
viewer 'activates' this space with their presence, they bring their own recollection of landscape and by
assigning landscape with memory the potentiality is where cognition becomes accentuated. Whereas the
unknown and uncharted can refute reality, memory is dependent on what is known both formally and
informally, it places the natural habitat diorama in a visual system that is both constructive and
destructive. Therefore the research methodology examines the historical context of the diorama through a
doctoral thesis by Karen Wonders and an analysis of Louis Daguerre's diorama by Richard Altick.
Following Bal's analysis of the diorama, this created a dilemma - in what ways are the perceptions of the
observer determined, and how are they undermined? Jonathan Crary and Giuliana Bruno considered the
diorama's position in relation to film and film archaeology, which ultimately the diorama and natural
habitat diorama could not compete with. In asking what has Powell-Cotton's museum to offer in the 21st
century, this thesis examines the concept of a diorama, its objectives and correspondingly its failings. As
the dioramas in the Powell-Cotton Museum were undocumented, these dioramas and their written, visual
and architectural relationship to Louis Daguerre offer a contribution to knowledge concurrent with the
relationship of this practice based research project. Whereupon the research diary forms the basis of a
contribution to new knowledge in the construction of small and large-scale dioramas, sculpture and
installations. By challenging Bal's analysis this research practice would investigate natural and projected
light and the visual language of transparency, translucency and opacity in the representation of landscape
and landscape as motif, and progressing to the structural implications of 2D and 3D work
Graham Greene An Approach to the Novels
No full textThis study reveals Greene in a dual role as author, one who projects literary experience into his view of life and subsequently projects both his experience and its "literary" interpretation into his fiction; and it defines two phases of Greenes novels through the changing relationship between writer and protagonists. The first phase progresses from acutely sensitive, self-divided young men somewhat like the young Greene to embittered, alienated characters ostensibly at great distance from their creator. The second phase (1939) includes a series of "portraits of the artist" through which Greene confronts more directly the tensions and conflicts of his private life.Book Cover -- Half-Title -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- Introduction -- Acknowledgements -- GRAHAM GREENE -- CHAPTER ONE Protagonists of the First Phase -- YOUTH -- DIVIDED SELVES -- WOMEN AND REDEMPTION -- MARRIAGE IN THE FIRST PHASE -- THE LITERARY FRAME -- THE FIRST-PHASE PROTAGONIST AND THE AUTHOR -- CHAPTER TWO Letters and Diaries -- LETTERS TO VIVIEN -- DIARIES -- CHAPTER THREE A Gun for Sale -- A GUN FOR SALE AND BROWNING'S "CHILDE ROLAND" -- A GUN FOR SALE AND TENNYSON'S MAUD -- CHAPTER FOUR Brighton Rock -- PINKIE AS NAPOLEONIC STRATEGIST -- CHARACTERS AND NAMES -- BRIGHTON ROCK AS A FAUSTIAN NOVEL -- CHAPTER FIVE Protagonists of the Second Phase -- AGE -- CHILDREN AND CHILDHOOD -- SELF-DIVISION -- MARRIAGE IN THE SECOND PHASE -- CHAPTER SIX The Strategy of Allusion in the Second Phase -- TOWARD THE WRITER AS PROTAGONIST -- CHAPTER SEVEN Portraits of the Artist -- CHAPTER EIGHT Travels with My Aunt -- CHAPTER NINE The Honorary Consul -- CHAPTER TEN The Human Factor -- CHAPTER ELEVEN Dr. Fischer of Geneva -- CHAPTER TWELVE Monsignor Quixote -- POSTSCRIPT: "YOUR DREAM HAS BEEN YOUR LIFE. -- CHAPTER THIRTEEN The Captain and the Enemy -- FINIS -- Selected Bibliography -- (A) WORKS BY GRAHAM GREENE -- (B) CRITICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL WORKS -- Index -- Permissions Acknowledgements -- PENGUIN PUTNAM INC. -- SIMON & -- SCHUSTERThis study reveals Greene in a dual role as author, one who projects literary experience into his view of life and subsequently projects both his experience and its "literary" interpretation into his fiction; and it defines two phases of Greenes novels through the changing relationship between writer and protagonists.
