Constructing self : mimicry and multiplicity in the work of Frida Kahlo, Berni Searle, Steven Cohen, and Rory Klopper.
No full textMaster of Art in Fine Art. University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg 2016.The purpose of this dissertation is to interrogate my perception of self which is grounded in my visual arts practice. Through my enquiry into the works of Steven Cohen, Berni Searle, and Frida Kahlo, I expose the corporeal body as an illusion of sociological enculturation.
Using concepts situated within sociological discourse, for example, I foreground the grotesque body as a body in the act of becoming, as theorised by Mikhail Bakhtin. I consider the multiplicities inherent in queer theories and interpret these multiplicities through my Fine Art practice. I use the concept of the cadaver exquisite as a vehicle to draw these theories into a visual realm; situated within fine art making.
I scrutinise processes, imagery and motivations that underlie the search for self. I present my findings through consideration of select works by Steven Cohen, Berni Searle, Frida Kahlo, and myself. I draw connections between the work of these artists and my own practice. Chief among the works I focus on are my series of self-portraits, namely, Smile Like You Mean It (2013), Crap Baby (Part III): The Intervention (2014), and I Tried To Make You See (2014); my paper cut-outs, namely The Dancer (2015) and a series of photographic work, namely, Jellyfish: series I (2015) and, Jellyfish: series II (2016), as well as the following assemblages: Fat Man (2015), Phantom of the Opera (2015), Jellyfish (2015), Mantis (2015), and Cake (2014 / 2015). I draw attention in my analysis of my own practice to the role played in the development of these works by examining the performance art of Steven Cohen, namely, Chandelier (2001 – 2002), the installation work of Berni Searle, namely, Snow White (2001), and the self-portraits of Frida Kahlo, namely, Self-portrait with Necklace of Thorn (1940)

Early Shakespeare, 1588-1594
No full textEarly Shakespeare, 1588–1594 draws together leading scholars of text, performance, and theatre history to offer a rigorous re-appraisal of Shakespeare's early career. The contributors offer rich new critical insights into the theatrical and poetic context in which Shakespeare first wrote and his emergence as an author of note, while challenging traditional readings of his beginnings in the burgeoning theatre industry. Shakespeare's earliest works are treated on their own merit and in their own time without looking forward to Shakespeare's later achievements; contributors situate Shakespeare, in his twenties, in a very specific time, place, and cultural moment. The volume features essays about Shakespeare's early style, characterisation, and dramaturgy, together with analysis of his early co-authors, rivals, and influences (including Lyly, Spenser and Marlowe). This collection provides essential entry points to, and original readings of, the poet-dramatist's earliest extant writings and shines new light on his first activities as a professional author

Pictures of You : Ten Journeys in Time
No full text"The 20th century took history out of the hands of historians and gave it to photographers. in Pictures of You, best-selling author Rory MacLean (Stalin's Nose, Berlin:Imagine a City) draws on the world's largest archive of amateur photography to discover ten real lives, one from each decade of that century. The first killing of the Cold War, the dying hopes of a doomed aviator, the ghosts of Native America at Alcatraz, Chairman Mao's most timid lover; ten journeys in time, ten forgotten voices that echo down from the past, ten intimate stories that mirror our own." -- p.

Interrogation of the Intermolecular Forces That Drive Bulk Properties of Molecular Crystals with Terahertz Spectroscopy and Density Functional Theory
No full textIdentifying and characterizing intermolecular forces in the condensed phase is crucial for understanding both micro- and macroscopic properties of solids; ranging from solid-state reactivity to thermal expansion. Insight into these interactions enables a holistic comprehension of bulk properties, and thus understanding them has direct implications for supramolecular design. However, even modest changes to intermolecular interactions can create unpredictable changes to solid-state structures and dynamics. For example, copper(II) acetylacetonate (Cu(C5H7O2)2) and copper(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate (Cu(C5HF6O2)2) exhibit similar molecular conformations, yet differences between the methyl and trifluoromethyl groups produce distinct sets of intermolecular forces in the condensed phase. Ultimately, these differences produce unique molecular arrangements in the solid state, with corresponding differences in material properties between the two crystals. In this work, terahertz spectroscopy is used to measure low-frequency vibrational dynamics, which, by extension, provide detailed insight into the underlying intermolecular forces that exist in each system. The experimental data is coupled to theoretical quantum mechanical simulations to precisely quantify the interplay between various energetic effects, and these results highlight the delicate balance that is struck between electronic and dispersive interactions that underpin the structural and related differences between the two systems
