No full textMy BFA show, titled Spider’s Lace, is based around a set of rules and values that each person has to learn individually from wholly different life experiences. I conduct interviews with friends and family to pinpoint a lesson both me and the subject of the interview have learned and combine the separate experiences into one story. Because the story exists in a place beyond any one human character, they become animal fables. What better way to understand ourselves than stepping back far enough to see ourselves as beasts?
The show is meant to be an experience that gives the viewer a sense of discovery as they move through these fables via illustrative prints, sculpture installations and performances. Design elements are incorporated to give the show a cohesiveness by unifying the different stylistic aspects of the separate works with a common branding scheme. A mobile website accompanies the works of the show, identifying each story and installation with a unique icon that links to a webpage where the viewer can hear the story with both my voice and that of the person interviewed to make the story. The true unifying feature of the show is the audio- the spoken story is familiar and personal, thus comfortable enough to be learned.
Creating the fables around personified animal characters makes them universally familiar and understood. The media and style of each print installation is entirely dependent on the myth. The prints range from black and white linoleum cuts, to soft and colorful lithographs, and the installation are anywhere from massive fabric books, to little wooden boxes. For my prints I’m looking at artists like Joanna Mueller, who uses animal and ancient North American myth symbolism to achieve a narrative-like effect
Vivências em retalhos: um ensaio sobre a crônica de Rachel de Queiroz na revista O Cruzeiro (anos 50)
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2011Esta tese tem por objetivo o estudo da crônica de Rachel de Queiroz (1910-2003) publicada na revista O Cruzeiro no decênio de 50. Proponho uma avaliação ensaística da sua contribuição para o gênero e tento detectar a relevância de sua escrita para a crítica e a historiografia literárias. Com um amplo repertório de crônicas, publicadas por cerca de 77 anos, Rachel de Queiroz escreveu sobre os mais diferentes temas e estratégias discursivas na imprensa brasileira. Perpassado por leituras multidisciplinares, este estudo está dividido em cinco partes: anotações sobre o campo biográfico e um breve perfil do periódico; breves percursos teórico e histórico sobre a crônica; levantamento das crônicas que tematizam questões ligadas às mulheres e à literatura de autoria feminina, e, por último, crônicas que tratam de algumas facetas do artesanato da escrita.A análise da crônica de Rachel de Queiroz, portanto, é uma oportunidade de ampliação e (re) configuração do seu repertório literário na cena brasileira do século XX.This thesis aims at studying the chronicle production of Rachel de Queiroz (1910-2003) published in the #O Cruzeiro# magazine in the 1950s. I propose an essay evaluation of her contribution to the genre and try to detect the relevance of her writings to literary critics and historians. With a vast repertoire of chronicles, published over a period of 77 years, Rachel de Queiroz wrote on the most diverse themes and discursive strategies of the Brazilian press. Supported by multi-disciplinarian readings, this study is divided into 5 parts: notes on the biographical field; a brief profile of the periodic; a brief theoretical and historic overview of the chronicle genre; a list of chronicles which deal with issues related to women and the literature produced by women; and, at last, chronicles which dwell on different facets of the writing craft. The analysis of the chronicle production of Rachel de Queiroz is, therefore, a great opportunity to enlarge and reconfigure her literary repertoire in the 20th-century Brazilian Literary Scene
