I would also like to thank Anne Ferran for her professional proof-reading of this thesis; Dr Deborah Dawes for prompting me to propose an abstract for the 2014 New Materialisms conference at SCA, subsequently opening up my engagements with these discourses; Oliver Smith for his support of my role facilitating the SCA New Materialism in Contemporary Art Research Cluster in 2016 and 2017 and my role as program coordinator and exhibition curator of Future Stratigraphy; and Dr Oliver Watts for engaging me in lecturing in the Art in the Anthropocene critical studies course. I have been extremely fortunate to be part of the SCA Grad School’s golden years 2014 and 2015 – collective club, curator visits, lunch club, studio discussions and constructive art crit sessions that mutually nurtured a very supportive post-grad student community – these friendships and connections will see us all into the future beyond SCA. I would also like to thank the artists and curators I have worked with in various capacities over the course of my PhD candidature, including Tracey Clement, Sean O’Connell, Danica Knezevic, Jane Polkinghorn, Madeleine Boyd, Fiona Davies, Consuelo Cavaniglia, Yvette Hamilton, Ellen Dahl, Nicolas Tsoutas, Barbara Campbell, Sylvia Griffin, Lizzy Marshall, Penny Dunstan, Alison Clarke, Dell Walker, Shoufay Derz, Lachlan Warner, Melissa Howe, James Nguyen, Kieran Begley, Liam Garstang, Sara Morawetz, Gillian Lavery, Renuka Fernando, Michelle Heldon, Taryn Raffan, Elyse Goldfinch, Diego Bonetto, Megan Robson and Anne Zahalka. I am ever grateful to the support of my family and friends, particularly my mother Vivienne Fries. And to those dearly departed, my father John Fries (1943-2009) and his sister, my aunt Felicity Fries (1947-2016), whose joyous embrace of life is keenly remembered. The depth and scope of my research has been greatly assisted by the Australian Postgraduate Award and Post Graduate Support Scheme, which enabled me to travel to Finland for the Silence Awareness Existence residency, present at the 2016 Encountering Materiality conference at the University of Geneva, participate in an api-centric natural beekeeping course, a gourmet mushroom growing workshop, a wild mushroom foraging workshop, and attend the 2015 Energies conference at MCA Sydney and 2015 Transversal Practices: matter, ecology and relationality conference at VCA Melbourne. I have been fortunate to attend a number of artist-residencies during my PhD candidature, including Fremantle Art Centre Residency WA, BigCi Residency NSW, Gunyah Residency NSW and Arteles Creative Center Residency, Hämeenkyrö Finland. I would also like to acknowledge the Japan Foundation New Artist Award 2010, which enabled my visit to Japan in 2011. I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and pay my respect to Eora, Walyalup and Worimi Elders, past and present, and to their families; they are the traditional custodians and cultural knowledge holders of the lands on which much of this research has taken place. iv List of Illustrations Figure 1 24 Artist unknown, White Taihu Rock, Jiangsu province China, circa 12th Century, 142 x 133 x 60 cm, Art Gallery of New South Wales Collection.

Arboretum Mustila on Kouvolan Elimäellä sijaitseva, yksi Pohjois-Euroopan merkittävimmistä arboretumeista eli puulajipuistoista. Työ on osa kolmivuotista Taiteiden Mustila 1 -EU-hanketta. Hahmojen tavoitteena on lisätä Mustilan kiinnostavuutta ja luoda elämyksiä puistossa vieraileville. Tutkimusmenetelmänä käytettiin Pirkko Anttilan käsityötuotteen suunnittelu- ja valmistus- prosessin teoreettista mallia, johon sisältyivät teemahaastattelu, havainnointi ja funktio- analyysi. Tutkimuksen pääkysymyksenä oli: “Miten suunnitella ja toteuttaa haltijoista koos- tuva kokonaisuus Arboretum Mustilaan?” Alakysymyksinä olivat: “Mitä tulee huomioida työ- menetelmissä ja materiaalivalinnoissa, jotta ne kestävät erilaisia sääolosuhteita?” ja “Millai- set hahmot sopivat Arboretum Mustilaan?” Työssä tutkittiin, millaiset materiaalit sopivat eri- laisiin sääolosuhteisiin ja tutustuttiin erilaisiin haltijaolentoihin. Työssä suunniteltiin viisi hal- tijaa, jotka saivat inspiraation Mustilan kasveista ja Matti Sarmelan kirjasta Suomen perin- neatlas. Työn produktiivisessa

  • For Flere Aar Siden Yttrede Deres
    Nissens Historie af H. F. Feilberg København 1918 LILLE NIELS SOM OGSAA KALDES NISSEN OG HANS MANGE MÆRKELIGE BEDRIFTER »Med Nisser maa man et oprigtig venskab holde, de ellers i et Huus kand meget ont forvolde; ej Nisse, Underjordsk giör nogen Siel imod, saalænge som de seer, mod dennem tolk er god.« Peder Paarl l. 4. 145. 1. INDLEDNING ET er et forsøg på at udrede »Nissens« historie, jeg Dhermed prøver. Overalt vel, hvor man spörger om Naturfolks religiøse tro, møder man det forhold, at så snart mennesket udenfor sig eller i sin person møder en magt, som han må böje sig for, opfattes denne magt som udtryk for en Vættes personlige villie. Man kan stå på en god fod med disse rådende personligheder, »Råd«, som den svenske almue kalder dem, eller man kan føre krig mod dem, men undgå dem, kan man ikke. Blandt de talløse skikkelser, som folkenes fantasi har skabt, tager jeg atter en enkelt gruppe frem, som jeg med et fællesnavn kalder »Alfefolket« (Se min bog »Bjærgtagen«, s.11 flg.). Denne gruppe samler alle de mange Vætter, der lever og færdes ude i den store natur, i det store hav, i de strömmende floder og elve, i skovenes dyb, på bjærgene, på agermarken eller den sorte hede eller i menneskers huse, og til dem hører de husvætter, som vi herhjemme kalder Nisser. Der har jo været en tid, da mennesker søgte sig faste boliger, begyndte at drive kvægavl og agerdyrkning. Snart byggede de sig huse ved havets eller floders og søers bred, snart ryddede de skov på den flade mark eller på bjærgets side og tømrede sig en hytte af de fældede træstammer, eller de søgte sig et tilhold ved mosens kant eller på den sorte hede, men ligegodt, hvor de kom, mødte de Vætter, der boede der forud, og som de måtte se at komme tilrette med, og man tör vel sige, at vilkåret for, at et hjem kunde blive lyst og lykkeligt, var Vætternes venskab.

  • Metsän Väki - Forest Dwellers
    Kurs: CA4007, Självständigt arbete, Master for New Audiences and Innovative Practice, avancerad nivå, (PIP), 40 hp 2016 Joint Music Master for New Audiences and Innovative Practice Institutionen för klassisk musik Handledare: Klas Nevrin Johanna Pitkänen Metsän väki - Forest Dwellers Creating a collaborative, semi-improvised performance that combines music, visual art, dance and performance art Skriftlig reflektion inom självständigt, konstnärligt arbete Till dokumentationen hör även följande inspelning: Professional Integration Project, NAIP ‘Metsän väki - Forest Dwellers’ I Abstract ‘Metsän väki - Forest Dwellers’ was my Professional Integration Project (PIP). The project consisted of creating a performance titled ‘Metsän väki’, which was performed on May 9th 2016 in Helsinki, Finland and of writing this thesis. The performance was a collaboration between different artists and it involved music, visual art, dance and performance art. The starting point for creating the performance was my collaboration with sculptor and environmental artist Jenni Tieaho. In addition to traditional instruments, sounding objects were used in creating the music. There were both written and improvised music as well as improvised dance in the performance. The performance took place in a former psychiatric hospital. In the outcomes and conclusion I present my expectations for the performance and describe how those where met. I also examine the role of cross-artistic collaboration in the project. I give examples of my own artistic development as well as my development as a project leader. I also reflect on the relevance of the project to the community. The outcomes are presented through my own reflections and through discussion where I point to literature concerning the differences and similarities between different art forms.

ISBN 978-951-51-4887-2 (print) ISBN 978-951-51-4888-9 (e-text, PDF) Unigrafia Oy Helsinki 2019 Abstract This study discusses the evolution of racialized concepts in the genres of the fantastic, especially fantasy, science fiction, and supernatural horror. It provides the first detailed interpretation of how such concepts are constructed and how they develop based on their interaction with the evolving cultural landscapes, thus showing how characteristics are borrowed from real world cultural stereotypes. The analysis concentrates on fantastic renderings of racialized stereotypes based on real world cultural fears. The concepts are examined both in their source cultures and through the lenses of transmediality and translation. As the fantastic arts have always been heavily transmedial in nature, the study is not limited to a certain art form, but views all media as complementary in producing concepts of the fantastic, either by adding new facets to the concepts, or by changing them on a temporal basis.

  • Baldr and Lemminkäinen
    Baldr and Lemminkäinen Approaching the Evolution of Mythological Narrative through the Activating Power of Expression A Case Study in Germanic and Finno-Karelian Cultural Contact and Exchange Frog UCL Dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 19 March 2010 2 I, Frog, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Frog. 3 Abstract The orientation of this study is to explore what the sources for each narrative tradition can (and cannot) tell us about their respective histories, in order to reach a point at which it becomes possible to discuss a relationship between them and the significance of that relationship. This is not intended as an exhaustive study of every element of each source or every aspect of each tradition. It will present a basic introduction to sources for each tradition (§3-4) followed by a basic context for approaching the possibility of a cultural exchange (§5-7). The APE and its “powers” are introduced with specific examples from both traditions (§8-13). This will be followed by sections on the activation and manipulation of “identities” from the level of cultural figures to textual and extra-textual entities (§14-16) followed by relationships of traditions to individuals and social groups who perform them, and the impact which this has on the evolution of tradition as a social process (§17-18). The study will then address more specific issues in relationships between source and application in the medieval and iconographic representations of the Baldr-Cycle where so little comparative material is available to provide a context (§19).
