  • New Textiles Inspired by Ikat - by Christina Maschke Degree Project Master of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design with Specialization in Textile Design
    THE PATTERNED THREAD - new textiles inspired by ikat - by Christina Maschke Degree Project Master of Fine Arts in Fashion and Textile Design with Specialization in Textile Design Title The patterned thread - new textiles inspired by ikat Author Christina Maschke Supervisor Margareta Zetterbloom Opponent Malene Kristiansen Examiner Hanna Landin Report No. 2016.6.05 The Swedish School of Textiles University of Borås Sweden Abstract The work of this MA thesis develops a new ap- proach to hand weaving in which the design pro- cess is led by the technique of resistant dyeing. The process is inspired by the visual properties of traditional ikats. It follows the technical ikat procedure of primary resistant dyeing and sub- sequently weaving. Whithin the research a new way of weaving is explored in which the dyed thread dictates the weaving process and therefore influences the weaving motif. In addition different design variables such as material, binding pattern and finishing are used to push forward the devel- oped concept. The aim of this work is to explore new aesthetic expressions between regular and irregular motifs through the application of design thinking. The result presents an innovative approach in the ikat technique in order to create random distrib- uted patterns and how they can be already influ- enced in the stage of yarn preparation.

Old Ties and New Points Keiko Kobayashi This paper discusses the development and technical transfer of what is perhaps the world's tiniest double ikat, Kasuri, developed in Japan after the Meiji restoration of 1868. Around the early 20th century, Japanese Kasuri was at the zenith of its quality, in creating geometric as well as pictorial designs using a very advanced form of color and weave effect. There were three reasons for this development during this period. The first reason was in the improvement of the "Orijime" technique which is a uniquely Japanese method in making kasuri threads using the loom. The second reason was the importation of knowledge from Lyon, France, on how to use graph paper which greatly contributed to making the designs of the finished textile products more sophisticated and pictorial. The third reason was social in that during this period, there was a rise in the demand for clothing in Japan as the country was becoming modernized.

  • The Media Assemblage: the Twentieth-Century Novel in Dialogue with Film, Television, and New Media
    THE MEDIA ASSEMBLAGE: THE TWENTIETH-CENTURY NOVEL IN DIALOGUE WITH FILM, TELEVISION, AND NEW MEDIA BY PAUL STEWART HACKMAN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2010 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Michael Rothberg, Chair Professor Robert Markley Associate Professor Jim Hansen Associate Professor Ramona Curry ABSTRACT At several moments during the twentieth-century, novelists have been made acutely aware of the novel as a medium due to declarations of the death of the novel. Novelists, at these moments, have found it necessary to define what differentiates the novel from other media and what makes the novel a viable form of art and communication in the age of images. At the same time, writers have expanded the novel form by borrowing conventions from these newer media. I describe this process of differentiation and interaction between the novel and other media as a “media assemblage” and argue that our understanding of the development of the novel in the twentieth century is incomplete if we isolate literature from the other media forms that compete with and influence it. The concept of an assemblage describes a historical situation in which two or more autonomous fields interact and influence one another. On the one hand, an assemblage is composed of physical objects such as TV sets, film cameras, personal computers, and publishing companies, while, on the other hand, it contains enunciations about those objects such as claims about the artistic merit of television, beliefs about the typical audience of a Hollywood blockbuster, or academic discussions about canonicity.

  • Narrative Time and Mental Space in the Graduate, Catch-22, and Carnal Knowledge
    Montclair State University Montclair State University Digital Commons Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects 8-2020 Architecture of the Mind : Narrative Time and Mental Space in The Graduate, Catch-22, and Carnal Knowledge Monica Cecilia Winston Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.montclair.edu/etd Part of the English Language and Literature Commons ABSTRACT This thesis explores three of director Mike Nichols’s films produced during the New Hollywood period—The Graduate (1967), Catch-22 (1970), and Carnal Knowledge (1971)—in an effort to trace Nichols’s auteur signature as it relates to the depiction of the protagonist’s subjectivity and renders post-war male anxiety and existential dread. In addition to discussing formal film technique used to depict the mental space of the protagonist, how these subjective sequences are implemented in the film bears implications on the narrative form and situates Nichols alongside other New Hollywood directors who were influenced by art cinema. This analysis, like those posited by other critics influenced by film theorist David Bordwell, distinguishes the term “art cinema” as employing a range of techniques outside of continuity editing that are read as stylistic, and because of this it entails specific modes of viewership in order to find meaning in style. Because of the function of style, the thesis posits thematic kinship among The Graduate, Catch-22, and Carnal Knowledge, which enriches the film’s respective meanings when viewed side by side.

  • Reading As Assemblage: Intensive Reading Practices Of
    READING AS ASSEMBLAGE: INTENSIVE READING PRACTICES OF ACADEMICS by SHARON MURPHY AUGUSTINE (Under the Direction of Elizabeth Adams St. Pierre) ABSTRACT This interview study investigated academic readers‘ reading practices using Deleuze and Guattari‘s concept assemblage to produce language and images of reading that recognized the complex relations among texts, people, places, ideas, and memories. The following two questions propelled inquiry and analysis: 1) How do reading practices function as a force that assembles complex relations of texts, people, places, ideas, and memories in surprising and productive ways? 2) What alternative reading practices are possible by theorizing reading through these relationships? This inquiry specifically chronicled how the participants in this study used books to do things. Reading was not, therefore, a solitary, passive endeavor, but an active, social engagement in creating their worlds. The production of a list of prescriptive reading practices that others could duplicate was not the goal. Rather, Deleuze and Guattari‘s (1980/1987) assemblage aligned within larger conversations among new criticism, reader response, and socio- cultural theories of reading. Specifically, Sumara‘s (1996) theory of reading worked with the theories of Deleuze and Guattari to describe a wider variety of reading practices than are commonly found in school settings. Participants provided language to describe intensive reading, reading practices that altered subjectivity, and descriptions of surprising reading experiences. Deleuze and Guattari‘s concepts and participants‘ experiences produced descriptions of reading as an active, surprising, and productive practice. INDEX WORDS: Education, Reading, Deleuze, Guattari, Sumara, assemblage, order-words, incorporeal transformation, commonplace location, flow experience, adult literacy, lifelong literacy, school, qualitative interview research, Writing as a method of inquiry, data analysis, coding, reading practices, poststructural theory.

  • Cognitive Assemblages: Technical Agency and Human Interactions
    Cognitive Assemblages: Technical Agency and Human Interactions N. Katherine Hayles In the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, assemblage (agence- ment) carries connotations of connection, event, transformation, and be­ coming.1 For those who privilege desire, affect, and transversal energies over cognition, it would seem unlikely to define assemblages as cognitive; however, the broader definition of cognition I employ brings my argu­ ment somewhat closer to theirs (although significant differences remain). I want to define cognition as a process of interpreting information in con­ texts that connect it with meaning. This view foregrounds interpretation, choice, and decision and highlights the special properties that cognition bestows, expanding the traditional view of cognition as human thought to processes occurring at multiple levels and sites within biological life forms and technical systems. Cognitive assemblage emphasizes cognition as the common element among parts and as the functionality by which parts connect.2 My reason for choosing assemblage over network (the obvious alter­ native) is to allow for arrangements that scale up. Starting with cognitive I am grateful to William Hutchison for sharing his work on drones; to Maryann Murtagh for her help with sources; and to the students in my Critical Inquiry seminar on the nonhuman at the University of Chicago. 1. See Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus, trans. Brian Massumi, vol. 2 of Capitalism and Schizophrenia, trans. Robert Hurley et al. (Minneapolis, 1987). 2. Alison Williams suggests that assemblage is an appropriate way to think about drones; however, she does not foreground the role of cognition, as I do here; see Alison J.

  • Avoiding Plagiarism
    PLAGIARISM Created by Dean of Students Office Collin College Adapted for online presentation by the Wylie Campus Anthony Peterson Center for Academic Assistance This presentation was originally developed by the Collin College Dean of Students office and has been adapted and expanded for online presentation by the staff of the Wylie Campus Anthony Peterson Center for Academic Assistance, Library room 217, wylie.mywconline.com. 1 What is Plagiarism? According to the Collin College Student Code of Conduct: “Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, intentionally or unintentionally failing to quote and cite words, information, and/or ideas taken from a source(s) in accordance with a citation style approved by the professor” (2020-2021 Student Handbook). We have all heard of plagiarism, but it can take many different forms, and we may not at first recognize plagiarism when we see it. This presentation will begin by defining plagiarism, and next it will examine some of the forms plagiarism may take, and finally discuss ways to avoid practices that will lead to a determination of plagiarism. Listen to the Collin College Student Code of Conduct statement on plagiarism: “Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, intentionally or unintentionally failing to quote and cite words, information, and/or ideas taken from a source(s) in accordance with a citation style approved by the professor” (2020- 2021 Student Handbook). This statement may seem straightforward, but there are a lot of pieces to unpack here. Let’s look more in depth at this definition. 2 Unpacking the Definition “Plagiarism includes, but is not limited to, intentionally or unintentionally failing to quote and cite words, information, and/or ideas taken from a source(s) in accordance with a citation style approved by the professor” (2020-2021 Student Handbook).

  • Researching Plagiarism and Technology in Second Language Writing: “Becomings”
    Researching Plagiarism and Technology in Second Language Writing: “Becomings” Eugenia Vasilopoulos Thesis submitted to the University of Ottawa in partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Ph.D. degree in Second Language Education Faculty of Education University of Ottawa © Eugenia Vasilopoulos, Ottawa, Canada, 2021 ii Abstract This dissertation is an experimentation in plugging in the work of Deleuze (1990, 1994, 1995), Deleuze and Guattari (1987, 1983, 1994) to create new concepts and methods in educational research. In doing so, I experiment in ‘the real’ through the process of learning, by designing, conducting, and reporting a qualitative empirical study on how second language (L2) writers in an English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program engage with technology in their academic writing, and how plagiarism may, or may not, relate to this process. As such, the research objectives of this study can be understood as: 1) to think differently about the interconnections between plagiarism and technology in L2 writing; and 2) to see what happens to the research when we do so. At the heart of this study, and forming the onto-epistemological lens for inquiry, is a philosophy of immanence, transcendental empiricism, difference, and the actual/virtual. Additional concepts -- assemblage, becoming, affect, rhizome, molar/molecular, order-word, smooth/striated, event, learning, nomad, and war machine – are deployed to reconceptualize how plagiarism and technology shape L2 students’ writing, as well as the treatment of plagiarism within academic learning and educational research. In more concrete terms, this study was conducted at a university-affiliated EAP program designed for international students who hold conditional-admission to their respective degree programs.
