    Siân Adiseshiah University of Lincoln, UK [email protected] The unbridgeable bridge to utopia: Howard Brenton’s Greenland Written and performed just after Thatcher’s third election victory in Britain in 1987, Howard Brenton’s Greenland is an isolated example durinG this period of a Left playwright’s attempts to represent utopia on staGe. Unlike the savaGely satirical approaches of other Left plays around the same time, such as Brenton and David Hare’s Pravda and Caryl Churchill’s Serious Money (both sardonic travesties of the riGht-winG press and the City of London in Thatcher’s Britain) Greenland attempts to reconstruct a utopian future. The second act of Greenland partially resembles a utopian space usually encountered in a conventional utopian narrative, and in doinG so, has led some commentators to dismiss the play as tedious and lackinG in dramatic interest. Its lack of conflict and the contentment of its inhabitants have led to it being described as static and dull. This interpretation has brouGht with it a readinG that concurs with the character, Severan-Severan, whose view is that misery and sufferinG are essential to the human condition and that liberation is a living death. However, this approach neglects a more complex engagement with utopia that can be traced in the play. Spectators of the play - along with the non-utopian character, Joan - respond to Greenland in a way that can be illuminated by Frederic Jameson’s idea of the ‘terror of obliteration’. This paper will explore ways in which Greenland exposes psycho-political barriers to utopia, barriers that frame the spectator’s view of the play, and it will also reveal ways in which bridGes to utopia are constantly at stake.

    Apokalypse En analyse av Hariton Pushwagners maleri Jobkill i lys av popkunstens estetikk Linda Ottosen Bekkevold Masteroppgave i kunsthistorie Institutt for idé - og kunsthistorie og klassiske språk UNIVERSITETET I OSLO Høst 2014 II Apokalypse En analyse av Pushwagners maleri Jobkill (1990) i lys av popkunstens estetikk. III © Linda O. Bekkevold 2014 Apokalypse Linda O. Bekkevold http://www.duo.uio.no/ Trykk: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo IV Sammendrag Pushwagner blir ofte omtalt som popkunstner og Norges svar på Andy Warhol (1923-1987) og Roy Lichtenstein (1923-1997). Sammenligningen begrunnes med hans benyttelse av tegneserieestetikk. Med stiliserte former og fargeflater. Dette er en gjenkjennende karakteristikk av den amerikanske popkunsten klisjéfylte tegneserieuttrykk. Denne oppfatningen nevnes ofte i en bisetning uten at det foreligger noen kunsthistorisk analyse som har undersøkt dette. Pushwagner samarbeidet med den norske forfatteren Axel Jensen (1932- 2002) på 1960-tallet, og sammen skapte de et tegneserieunivers som skulle bli grunnlaget for Pushwagners kunstnerskap. På 1970-tallet og 1980-tallet arbeidet de med flere utkast og upubliserte bokprosjekter som ble utviklet til billedromanen Soft City, silketrykkserien En dag i familien Manns liv og malerifrisen Apokalypse. I denne avhandlingen søker jeg svar på hvordan Pushwagner benytter seg av tegenserieestetikken i sitt kunstuttrykk. Hva slags tradisjon benyttes i hans verk? Og kan man med rette karakterisere Pushwagner som popkunstner? Problemstillingene er verksorientert, og jeg tar utgangspunkt i maleriet Jobkill (1990), men det vil bli trukket paralleller til andre verk av kunstneren. I oppgavens tolkningsdel vil jeg trekke inn komparativt materiale fra popkunsten. V VI VII Forord I 2010-2012 hadde jeg gleden av å jobbe i et av Norges nyoppstartede gallerier, Galleri Pushwagner.

  • Pushwagners Soft City
    PUSHWAGNERS SOFT CITY EN NARRATIV OG KULTURHISTORISK TILNÆRMING TIL TEGNESERIEN. NICOLE BENESTAD NYGAARD Veileder Elise Seip Tønnessen Masteroppgaven er gjennomført som ledd i utdanningen ved Universitetet i Agder og er godkjent som del av denne utdanningen. Denne godkjenningen innebærer ikke at universitetet innestår for de metoder som er anvendt og de konklusjoner som er trukket. Universitetet i Agder, 2010 Fakultet for humaniora og pedagogikk Institutt for nordisk og mediefag 2 3 Forord Inspirasjonen til avhandlingen har jeg fått fra mine interesser for kunst og litteratur. Jeg er også motivert ut fra et fordypningsbehov fra de årene jeg drev Den kulturelle skolesekken i Kristiansand kommune og fra erfaringer som kunstformidler på Sørlandets Kunstmuseum. Pushwagner Soft City er mitt studieobjekt og fokus i denne avhandlingen. Det anbefales å slå opp i boken under lesningen, for det vil gjøre mine henvisninger til ruter lettere å forstå. Noen av rutene er gjengitt visuelt i avhandlingen og dessverre varierer bildekvaliteten. Det er flere personer jeg vil takke for god hjelp. Først og fremst vil jeg takke Elise Seip Tønnessen for veiledning, gjennomgang av utkast til kapitler og lån av bøker. Jeg har virkelig satt pris på våre hyggelig og interessante diskusjoner. Dernest vil jeg takke Michael Prince for inspirerende forelesninger om beatmiljøet og beatlitteraturen og for overført entusiasme og samtaler omkring Soft Citys paralleller til beatbevegelsen. Tusen takk til Sigmund Ro for refleksjonene omkring beatforfatterne som du har delt med meg. Takk til Frida Forsgren for interessante forelesninger og samtaler omkring kunsten som utkom fra beatbevegelsen. Den viktigste nøkkelpersonen utenfor Universitetsmiljøet har vært Petter Mejlænder som har kommet med berikende innspill omkring Pushwagner og Axel Jensen, formidling av prosjektet mitt til Pushwagner og initiering av et lunsjmøte med Pratibha Jensen.

Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen, The Netherlands Events Exhibition supported by Live music, performance, film and video by Norwegian artists, 28 June – and workshops and talks inspired 2 September by Pushwagner’s work. www.mkgallery.org MK Gallery [email protected] Tuesday – Friday 12pm – 8pm 900 Midsummer Blvd www.mkgallery.org Saturday 11am – 8pm Milton Keynes MK9 3QA T 01908 676 900 Sunday 11am – 5pm About the Exhibition Pushwagner: Soft City is the first solo exhibition outside of Norway by artist Hariton Pushwagner (born Oslo, 1940), bringing together drawings, paintings and prints made over the last forty years. With its literary allusions and piercing social commentary, his work has many affinities in the family of twentieth-century science fiction and its depictions of modern metropolitan life. While revelling in the appeal of post-war American consumer culture and the glamour of Pop Art, Pushwagner was equally inspired by the non-conformity of the Beat poets, and particularly by William Burroughs’s notion of control in his 1961 novel Soft Machine. Middle Gallery Soft City (1969-75) is Pushwagner’s defining creation. Produced intermittently in Oslo and London between 1969 and 1976, the 154-page graphic novel encapsulates a generation’s disenchantment with capitalism and life in the modern city. It registers a day in the life of a couple and their small child in a vast, dehumanised, dystopian metropolis. Their automated existence is characterised by the repetitive form of the drawings, whose recurring arrangements of cars, buildings and people create a dizzying effect.

  • En Studie Av Rekruttering Til Og Deltakelse I Gurdjieff
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by NORA - Norwegian Open Research Archives “Kjenn deg selv”: en studie av Gurdjieff Society Norge Peter A. Kristoffersen Masteroppgave i religionshistorie, avlagt våren 2008 ved Institutt for kulturstudier og orientalske språk, Universitetet i Oslo. Forsideillustrasjon: Omslaget til Prospectus for G. Gurdjieff's Institute for the Harmonious Development of Man, tegnet av Gurdjieffs elev Alexandre de Salzmann i forbindelse med instituttets åpning i 1922. (Kilde: http://www.gurdjieff-biography.com) Forord Min interesse for å studere gurdjieffbevegelsen bunner i en langvarig interesse for spirituelle og nyreligiøse grupperinger. Da jeg første gang hørte om G. I. Gurdjieff, var han en person som umiddelbart vekket min interesse: historien om ham og beskrivelsen av hans ideer fremstod for meg som spesielle, og annerledes andre nyreligiøse fenomener. Ikke minst fremstod Gurdjieff som en tilsynelatende lite selvhøytidlig guru, og en mann med stor humor! Religionsforskeren Paul Heelas (1996:44,47-48) anser Gurdjieff som en av de viktigste personene for den historiske utviklingen av og framveksten av nyreligiøsiteten, sammen med psykoanalytikeren C. G. Jung og teosofen H. P. Blavatsky. Dersom Heelas har rett, vil jeg påstå at kunnskapen om Gurdjieff og hans elever er sørgelig lite undersøkt innen religionsvitenskapen. Mitt håp er at denne oppgaven kan inspirere til videre forskning på Gurdjieff og hans etterfølgere. Jeg vil først og fremst rette en stor takk til Gurdjieff Society og informantene som har stilt opp i lange intervjuer, og alle andre som har bidratt med informasjon og inspirasjon til oppgaven. Takk til min veileder, professor Jens Braarvig, for god veiledning og oppfølging gjennom en lang skriveprosess.

  • Anthropocene Entanglements
    Anthropocene Entanglements: The Novum, Policy, and Environment in Science Fiction by Wyndham, Atwood, and Liu by Jeremy Ross Strong A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of English, Theatre, Film, and Media The University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2020 Jeremy Ross Strong Abstract This dissertation argues that Darko Suvin’s proposed literary device unique to science fiction, “the novum”, is entangled with national state policy and environmental politics, and that up to now this has not been studied with sustained focus. I propose that the emergent sub-genre cli-fi is really just the distillation of ongoing concerns about the compounding problems of life in the Anthropocene that have long been present in much science fiction. By exploring the relationship between the novums of science fiction novels and national state policies the project reveals the unique perspectives the science fiction genre offers for addressing the Anthropocene. I put forward the notion of the “national political imaginary” as a concept useful in understanding temporary landscapes of thought that include political discourse and artistic production alike. I argue that the novum helps reveal how the subtext and themes within the fiction and the social forces driving the policy are connected through an axis of environmental concern. The case studies span three distinct time periods in the UK, Canada, and China connecting geo-political, bio-cultural, and socio-political policies to novels by John Wyndham, Margaret Atwood, and Cixin Liu respectively. Adopting a New Historicist approach, the chapters first explain the historical conditions and particular cultural and national elements that give rise to each policy, before undertaking close readings of the novels.
