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
Investigation of low-frequency dependent characteristics of Al/Maleic Anhydride (MA)/p-Si Schottky barrier diode
No full textIn this study, low-frequency-dependent characteristics of Al/Maleic Anhydride (MA)/p-Si organic Schottky barrier diode have been investigated. Maleic Anhydride (MA) has been successfully coated on p type-Si substrate with 280 m thickness and 10 ohm. cm resistivity, by spin coating. The ohmic (back contact) and Schottky (circular dots) contacts can be fabricated by the thermal evaporation technique. The fabrication of the ohmic and Schottky contacts was performed in vacuum (2.7x10(-7) kPa). By using capacitance-voltage (C-V) and conductance- voltage (G-V) measurements, electrical properties including barrier height, Fermi level, the width of the depletion region, series resistance and interface states were investigated. The C-V and G-V characteristics confirm that interface state density and series resistance of the diode are important parameters that strongly influence the electrical parameters exhibited by the MPS structure
Willmore 2-Spheres in S-n: A Survey
No full textWe give an overview of the classification problem of Willmore 2-spheres in S-n, and report the recent progress on this problem when n = 5 ( or even higher). We explain two main ingredients in our work. The first is the adjoint transform of Willmore surfaces introduced by the first author, which generalizes the dual Willmore surface construction. The second is the DPW method applied to Willmore surfaces whose conformal Gaussmap is well-known to be a harmonic map into a non-compact symmetric space (a joint work of Dorfmeister and the second author). We also sketch a possible way to classify all Willmore 2-spheres in S-n.EICPCI-S(ISTP)[email protected]; [email protected]
MA does not imply
No full textWe construct a model in which MA(S)[S] holds and
fails. This shows that MA(S)[S] does not imply and
answers an old question of Larson and Todorcevic in [3]. We also investigate
different strong colorings in models of MA(S)[S]
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
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
