Through analysis of work by established filmmakers Michael Haneke, Fatih Akin, and Alfonso Cuarón, In Permanent Crisis contemplates the way mass media depictions become invoked by film to question how ethnic and racial Otherness in Europe are treated as adornments of catastrophe.

My hypothesis is as follows: an act of violence enacted on stage and viewed by an audience can act as a catalyst for the coming together of that audience in defense of humanity, a togetherness in the act of defying the truth mimicked by the theatrical violence represented on stage, which has the potential to stir the latent power of the theatre communion. I have used the theoretical work of Antonin Artaud, especially his “Theatre of Cruelty,” and the works of Peter Brook, Jerzy Grotowski, and Sarah Kane in conversation with Artaud’s theories as a prism through which to investigate my hypothesis.

  • An Abstract of the Thesis Of
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Nicolas Evans for the degree of Master of Arts in English presented on June 2, 2017. Title: (Mis)representation & Postcolonial Masculinity: The Origins of Violence in the Plays and Films of Martin McDonagh. Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Neil R. Davison This thesis examines the postmodern confrontation of representation throughout the oeuvre of Martin McDonagh. I particularly look to his later body of work, which directly and self-reflexively confronts issues of artistic representation & masculinity, in order to gain a more nuanced understanding of his earliest and most controversial plays. In part, this thesis addresses misperceptions regarding The Leenane Trilogy, which was initially criticized for the plays’ shows of irreverence and use of caricature and cultural stereotypes. Rather than perpetuating propagandistic or offensive representations, my analysis explores how McDonagh uses affect and genre manipulation in order to parody artistic representation itself. Such a confrontation is meant to highlight the inadequacy of any representation to truly capture “authenticity.” Across his oeuvre, this postmodern proclivity is focused on disrupting the solidification of discourses of hyper-masculinity in the vein of postcolonial, diasporic, and mainstream media’s constructions of masculinity based on aggression and violence. ©Copyright by Nicolas Evans June 2, 2017 All Rights Reserved (Mis)representation & Postcolonial Masculinity: The Origins of Violence in the Plays and Films of Martin McDonagh by Nicolas Evans A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Presented June 2, 2017 Commencement June 2017 Master of Arts thesis of Nicolas Evans presented on June 2, 2017 APPROVED: Major Professor, representing English Director of the School of Writing, Literature, and Film Dean of the Graduate School I understand that my thesis will become part of the permanent collection of Oregon State University libraries.

  • Arnold Berleant Reflections on the Aesthetics of Violence a B S T R a C T
    Plenary presentation via Skype at the 21st International Congress of Aesthetics, "Possible Worlds of Contemporary Aesthetics: Aesthetics between History, Geography and Media." The University of Belgrade, Serbia, July 22-26, 2019. Keynote via Adobe Connect at the 2019 Graduate Conference "Philosofest: Practical Philosophy & Philosophical Practice" at the University of Ottawa/St. Paul University, Canada, 1- 3 March 2019. Lecture given at the Marxist-Socialist Lecture Series, University of Maine, 28 February 2019. Forthcoming publication in Contemporary Aesthetics, guest editor Emmanouil Aretoulakis, Special Volume 7 (2019). Arnold Berleant Reflections on the Aesthetics of Violence A b s t r a c t Violence has long been a factor in human life and has been widely depicted in the arts. This essay explores how the artistic and appreciative responses to violence have been practiced, understood, and valued. It emphasizes the difference between the aesthetics of distant, disinterested appreciation and the engaged appreciative experience of violence in the arts, and insists on the relevance of their behavioral and ethical implications. Index terms aesthetic appreciation; aesthetic engagement; aesthetic experience; disinterestedness; ethics; morality; negative aesthetics; perception; violence I The words 'aesthetic' and 'aesthetics' are often used casually to refer to the arts, to the pleasurable experience we have with them, and to beauty as the distinctive mark of that experience. In its most general import aesthetics concerns sensible experience, experience centering around perceptual events and the elaboration and refinement of sensory awareness. This is reflected in the etymology of the word 'aesthetics,' which derives from the Greek aisthesis, perception by the senses. Such experience is not purely sensory but is colored by culture, education, and personal history.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 515 Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Arts, Design and Contemporary Education (ICADCE 2020) Research on the Ethicalized Effect of Martial Arts Elements on the Violence Aesthetics in Chinese Films Luoxuan Zhou1 Baojun Chu1,* Suyalema Huo1 1Xiamen Academy of Arts and Design, Fuzhou University, Xiamen, Fujian, China *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Violence aesthetics in films is the integration of violence and film art, and beautification of violence images is an important means of designing films with violence aesthetics. Films with violence aesthetics provide the audience with a way to appreciate the beauty of violence, which is sought after by a large number of audiences in China and abroad. Meanwhile, it also arouses scholars' thinking on the negative effects. That is, as a kind of violent media, audiences' long-term or short-term exposure to a large amount of violent contents in films will increase the probability of committing aggressive behaviors and cause social problems. By analyzing and comparing the compatibility between the characteristics and functions of martial arts elements in Chinese films with violence aesthetics and the information ethicalization theory, this paper utilizes the ethicalized characteristics of martial arts elements to add them to the design of violence scenes in such films. It is hoped that the negative impact of films with violence aesthetics on the audience's psychology can be reduced appropriately, so as to provide reference for the design of violence scenes in these films in the future. Keywords: martial arts elements, violence aesthetics, information ethicalization I.

    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Arts and Architecture PERFORMING WITNESSING: ART, SEXUAL TRAUMA, AND FEMINIST PEDAGOGY A Dissertation in Art Education and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies by Hyunji Kwon © 2017 Hyunji Kwon Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2017 The dissertation of Hyunji Kwon was reviewed and approved* by the following: Karen Keifer-Boyd Professor of Art Education and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee Charles Garoian Professor of Art Education Kimberly Powell Associate Professor of Art Education, Education, and Asian Studies Rosemary J. Jolly Weiss Chair of the Humanities in Literature and Human Rights Professor of Comparative Literature and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Graeme Sullivan Director of School of Visual Arts Professor of Art Education *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. ii Abstract Feminist art pedagogy can enable sexual trauma subjects to bear witness through art creation. The experience of sexual trauma harms a sense of subjectivity; and, thus, the restoration of subjectivity is critical for bearing witness to trauma. Subjectivity is an individual’s sense of existence whereby the individual can consciously make and act upon decisions. By examining bearing witness through art within the context of feminist art pedagogy, my study reveals how feminist art pedagogy has enabled trauma subjects to actively discover, interpret, and, thereby, comprehend their trauma through art making experiences. Specifically, I examine how feminist art pedagogy enabled art creation as bearing witness by four sexual trauma subjects and three trauma artworks created in feminist art courses.

While in the early stage of research into the topic of sexual violence in art, Fryd asked members of the listserv for suggestions of artists who have addressed rape or sexual trauma in their work. One person responded with what reads as dismay: “What has art history come to that you would want to write about a topic like this?” (8). While such a comment may seem myopic in the current climate of #MeToo, Fryd makes clear that this reply was not an isolated incident. She writes, “Although some agree that the project is long overdue, a number of my interlocutors, whether art historians, scholars in other fields, or non-academics, have expressed surprise and sometimes distress over what they perceive to be an unusual and disturbing scholarly endeavor” (8).
