Name, Last Name: Semra HORUZ Signature : iii ABSTRACT THE BOOK, THE BODY AND ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY IN PETER GREENAWAY'S CINEMATOGRAPHY HORUZ, Semra M.A. Department of History of Architecture Supervisor: Assist. Prof. Dr. A. Sevil ENGİNSOY EKİNCİ September 2010, 237 pages This thesis is an attempt to explore the “axis of innumerable relationships” of the book which Jorge Luis Borges touches upon. In doing this, it deals with the questions of “whats”, “whos”, “whens” and “wheres” of the reading activity. While scrutinizing these aspects of reading, the main concern is to reach the “whys” and “hows” of it. Referring to Roger Chartier’s definition of reading, there are three main components of this activity, as the content of the book, the material form of the book and the practice itself and they are aimed to be analyzed in detail. In this context, the questions of “wheres” and “whens” and their various answers create an intertwined area of history of reading and history of architecture. Within this theoretical framework, the scope of the thesis is shaped by Peter Greenaway’s cinematography. The questions of “who reads/writes what book”, “where and when” are searched in the director’s three films; The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover (1989), Prospero's Books (1991) and The Pillow Book (1996) by devoting one chapter to each film. Accordingly, the question of “who” orients the study to the bodies of the books/readers/writers, and those of “where” iv and “when” to architectural history. In connection to the director’s multidisciplinary interests, the thesis seeks to trace how this topic is intertwined not only with history of architecture but also with the history of art and literature. Hence, it is an attempt to utilize Greenaway’s cinematography as a tool to juxtapose the two/three dimensional representations of the book, the body and the spaces onto each other. Key Words: Architecture and Cinema, Peter Greenaway, History of Reading, The Space, The Book and The Body v ÖZ PETER GREENAWAY SİNEMATOGRAFİSİNDE KiTAP, BEDEN VE MiMARLIK TARiHi HORUZ, Semra Yüksek Lisans, Mimarlık Tarihi Bölümü Tez Yöneticisi: Yar. Doç. Doktor A. Sevil ENGİNSOY EKİNCİ Eylül 2010, 237 sayfa Bu tez okuma faaliyetinin, Jorge Luis Borges’ in deyimiyle, “sayısız ilişkiler eksenini” incelemeyi amaçlar. Bu edimle ilişkili olarak “kim”, “ne”, ne zaman” ve “nerede” sorularıyla ilgilenir. Okumayı bu açılardan irdelerken, konunun “neden” ve “nasıl” larına ulaşmayı hedefler. Roger Chartier’nin okuma tanımına göre, bu faaliyetin üç temel bileşeni olan kitabın içeriği, kitabın formu ve malzemesi ve son olarak, okuma edimini kendisi bu tezde detaylı olarak araştırılır. Bu bağlamda, çalışmadaki “nerede” ve “ne zaman” soruları ve bunların çeşitli yanıtları okumanın tarihi ve mimarlık tarihinin içiçe geçtiği bir alan oluşturur. Bu kuramsal çerçevede, tezin sınırlarını Peter Greenaway’in sinematografisi çizer. “Kim”, “hangi kitabı”, “nerede” ve “ne zaman” okur/yazar soruları Greenaway’in Aşçı, Hırsız, Karısı ve Sevgilisi (The Cook, the Thief, His Wife and Her Lover, 1989), Prospero’ nun Kitapları (Prospero's Books, 1991) ve Tuval Bedenler (The Pillow Book, 1996) filmlerinde, her film ayrı bölümlerde ele alınarak tartışılır. Bu bakış açısıyla, “kim” sorusu çalışmayı kitapların/okurların/yazarların bedenlerine yönlendirirken, “nerede” ve “ne zaman” soruları da mimarlık tarihiyle ilişkilendirir. Tez, yönetmenin disiplinlerarası ilgilerine dayanarak, söz konusu kavramların sadece mimarlık tarihiyle değil, edebiyat ve sanat tarihiyle de nasıl vi kesiştiğinin izini sürer. Bu nedenle, çalışmanın hedefi, Greenaway sinematografisindeki beden, kitap ve mekânların temsilleri aracılığıyla okumanın tarihinden mimarlık tarihine ulaşmaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Mimarlık ve Sinema, Peter Greenaway, Okumanın Tarihi, Mekan, Kitap ve Beden vii To my family viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all I want to express my profound appreciation to Assist. Prof. Dr. A. Sevil Enginsoy Ekinci, my supervisor, for her guidance, encouragements and thought-stimulating critics. She is the boost of all the innovative ideas in my thesis, if there is one. I would also like to thank the jury members, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Belgin Turan Ozkaya and Instructor, Dr. M. Haluk Zelef for their insightful suggestions and inspring comments. I owe to special thanks to my big family for believing in me and for their encouragements not only throghout the thesis but also through all my studies. I am indebted to my father, my mother; our Nebiş, my sisters Selma and Selda. Gökhan, Emre and Mete, my well favored boys, deserve also special thanks for their love and moral boosts. I am also greatful to Armağan Yardım who has always been with me. She is more than a friend and “there is no doubt that this process will not be that easy without her.” I also want to express my sincere thanks to my friends; firstly Melodi Öz, Sema Öz, and Özüm İtez for their interest and suggestions. My flatmates, Yunus Çetin, Can Eyüp Çekiç and the “archive guys” Deniz Özden and Murat Kenan Şentürk also deserve special thanks for their contirubutions. And my heartfelts thanks go to particularly Çağlayan Efendioğlu Öz and Ümit Efendiğolu. It is difficult to express my gratitude to them for their motivation, continous support and good will in every aspect of my life. Finally, I would like to extend my dearest thanks to my parents and sisters for their infinite support and constant believe in me. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS PLAGIARISM .......................................................................................................... iii ABSTRACT .............................................................................................................. iv ÖZ ............................................................................................................................. vi DEDICATION ......................................................................................................... vii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ........................................................................................ ix TABLE OF CONTENTS ........................................................................................... x LIST OF FIGURES .............................................................................................. ..xiii CHAPTER 1.

    國立臺灣師範大學美術研究所繪畫創作理論組 博士論文 指導教授:陳淑華 博士 論文題目: 煉金術:論象徵概念與創作意識之源 Alchemy: A Study of the Symbols’ Conceptions and Creative Consciousness 研究生:張欽賢 撰 2013/03/20 1 煉金術:論象徵概念與創作意識之源 中文摘要 煉金術是註記人類探索自我意識與物質世界的廣袤史觀。它是宗教神 話思想,以及個人洞察自身認知根源的集合體。煉金術統合物質形式的象 徵意識以及精神心靈的昇華幻化,並將之轉變成思想與技藝之間的關鍵聯 繫。藝術家藉此以助於學習外在與內在、題材與創作活性的整合,使繪畫 與其它視覺藝術如同煉金術一般,成為聯接物質與心理世界的範例。回顧 典籍所載,古人所言之藝術與藝術家,亦與煉金術士一般,充滿了神秘難 解之奇幻異數,而非今日所使用詞彙之實質意含。 本篇研究要旨在於探索煉金術思想脈絡以及其象徵系統,各篇皆以傳 統象徵系統引導創作之源,論述象徵體系之中,煉金術為之詮釋作為創造 者的終極創生,指引創作者所需之超越智慧的自然共感,與追尋超越物質 與精神世界的開放思想,以及深刻的創作情緒。本篇論文亦以此尋思古代 習藝者以及現代心理與美學理論,研究存於內心的信仰與創作程序以何種 圖面形式再現虛無的想像。以象徵系統,作為探究抽象概念轉化為繪畫創 作因素之工具與潛意識攫取想像的能力。 關鍵詞:煉金術,四元素,哲人石,曼陀羅,象徵心理,異教藝術。 i Alchemy: A Study of the Symbols’ Conceptions and Origin Consciousness of Creation Abstract Alchemy is the history of humanity’s self-awareness and marvel with the physical world. It is collective and individual research for perspicacity and the origins of religion, mythology, and personal self-identity. Alchemy is at once a symbolic consciousness of substantial forms and a symbolic utterance of the spiritual and psychological transformations of the spirit, became a connection between wisdom and art. The artist has been given the possibility of integrating his outward and inward creation, his subject matter and his creative activity. Painting and other visual arts are one intent example of communication between physical and psychological world, and other is alchemy. If we look back at the whole art history existence, the appearance of art and artist, just like alchemist, seems a curious phenomenon indeed, an ethereal secret that cannot easily be explained in terms of contemporary lexicon that we may real understand. While the thrust of this study is directed at elucidating the history of alchemy and system of symbols, every chapter includes explicable the form of symbols from the origin of traditions.

The theme was given new life in the mid-sixteenth century through the works of the Flemish painters Pieter Aertsen (1508–75) and Joachim Beuckelaer (ca. 1533–ca. 1574), who incorporated slaughtered and disemboweled animals in their vivid renderings of abundantly supplied market stalls, and also explored the theme as an independent motif.[1] The earliest instances of the motif in the Northern Netherlands come only in the seventeenth century, possibly introduced by immigrants from the south. During the early 1640s, the theme of the slaughtered animal—split, splayed, and Fig 1. Barent Fabritius, suspended from the rungs of a wooden ladder—was taken up by (among Slaughtered Pig, 1665, oil on others) Adriaen (1610–85) and Isack (1621–49) van Ostade, who typically canvas, 101 x 79.5 cm, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen, situated the event in the dark and cavernous interior of a barn, stable, or Rotterdam, inv.

Their making usually reflects a determination on the part of the director or star to see the artist as an alter-ego. Many of them were adaptations of successful literary works, which tempted financial backers by having a ready-made audience based on a pre-established reputation. The sub-genre’s development is explored via the grouping of films with associated themes and the use of case studies.

  • "LUCCA MORTIS", NEW FILM for PETER GREENAWAY from 24 to 30 June the London Director Returns to Lucca Holding a Workshop on His Next Movie
    "Lucca Experientia Artis and the Lucca Film Festival together for International Artistic Residences." "LUCCA MORTIS", NEW FILM FOR PETER GREENAWAY From 24 to 30 June the London director returns to Lucca holding a workshop on his next movie. (Lucca), 6 May - The new screenplay by Peter Greenaway is entitled "Lucca Mortis" and is the focus of the training course created by the director together with LEA - Lucca Experientia Artis, in collaboration with Lucca Film Festival - Europa Cinema. The idea of "Lucca Mortis" was born in 2013 as an evolution of the architectural cinema installation "The Towers / Lucca Hubris", created by Greenaway with the choreography of the dancer and author Roberto Castello and realized in Piazza San Francesco by the festival and the Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Lucca. After six years, thanks to the synergy between the art director of LEA Domenico Raimondi and the director Cristina Puccinelli, Greenaway returns to Lucca with a residential workshop open to 20 creative people in love with the seventh art. From 24 to 30 June, six days in close contact with the London director to closely study the stages of work that will lead to the realization of the movie: ranging from a screenplay that takes shape in the symbolic places of the city, which he himself defines a real "natural set", to the characters based on people who actually have lived and on the protagonists of Puccinian operas. Not only movie-lab activities, but also moments of conviviality to discover the inner creative imagination of Greenaway's genius in a Lucca that is the inspiring muse and film set full of charm and history.

  • Michael Nyman
    Michael Nyman Michael Nyman es uno de los compositores británicos más innovadores y aclamados, cuyo trabajo abarca operas, cuartetos de cuerda, bandas sonoras y conciertos orquestales. Mucho más que un mero compositor, es además intérprete, director, pianista, escritor, musicólogo, fotógrafo y cineasta. Considerado como un “hombre del renacimiento”, su inquietud creativa y su polivalencia artística le han convertido en uno de los iconos culturales más fascinantes e influyentes de nuestro tiempo. Michael Nyman (nacido el 23 de marzo de 1944) es un pianista, musicólogo y compositor minimalista, conocido sobre todo por las obras escritas durante su larga colaboración con el cineasta británico Peter Greenaway . Nyman (que estudió con el académico Thurston Dart, experto en música barroca en el King's College de Londres) se ha inspirado frecuentemente en Música antigua en sus composiciones para los largometrajes de Greenaway: Henry Purcell en El contrato del dibujante y El cocinero, el Ladrón, su Esposa y su Amante, El piano , Heinrigh Ignaz Franz von Biber en Zoo (A Zed & Two Noughts), Mozart en Conspiración de mujeres (Drowning by Numbers) y John Dowland en Prospero's Books . Su popularidad se disparó después de componer la banda sonora de la galardonada película de Jane Campion El piano (1993). La película no fue nominada por la Academia a pesar de haberlo sido por la Academia Británica y para el Globo de Oro. Ha compuesto bandas sonoras para muchos otros filmes, la gran mayoría de ellos obras de autores independientes europeos. Sus pocas incursiones en la composición de bandas sonoras para Hollywood han sido Gattaca , Ravenous (con Damon Albarn) y The End of the Affair .
