Thesis G. Follevaag.Pdf BIOLOGOSENTRISME Geir Follevåg Avhandling for graden philosophiae doctor (PhD) ved Universitetet i Bergen April 2006 2 BIOLOGOSENTRISME Om litterære framstellingar av adopsjon, spesielt Kong Oidipus og Mansfield Park av Geir Follevåg Avhandling for graden philosophiae doctor (PhD) ved Universitetet i Bergen. April 2006 Historisk-filosofisk fakultet Institutt for lingvistikk og litteraturvitskap Seksjon for allmenn litteraturvitskap 3 4 FØREORD Arbeidet med avhandlinga byrja 15. oktober 2002 då eg blei tilsett som stipendiat ved Seksjon for allmenn litteraturvitskap ved UiB. Prosjektet var å undersøkje korleis adopsjon var framstelt i utvalde skjønlitterære verk. Sidan problemstillinga var tilnærma fråverande i allmenn litteraturvitskapleg samanheng, hadde eg ærleg tala ikkje klare førestellingar om kva resultatet kom til å bli. Etter kvart som avhandlinga byrja å ta form blei eg sjølv overraska over i kor mange ulike retningar adopsjonstematikken i litteraturen førte meg. Eg oppdaga at adopsjonstematikken vedrører langt fleire område i akademisk og daglegdags samanheng enn det dei fleste sannsynlegvis har tenkt over. For å kunne fullføre avhandlinga innanfor rimelege rammer, måtte eg anstrenge meg for å snevre inn perspektivet. Trass alt skulle prosjektet vere ei litteraturvitskapleg avhandling. Utfordringa har vore å finne ein balanse mellom å late litteraturen stå i sentrum og samstundes indikere korleis analysane og teoretiske funderingar kring adopsjonstematikken i litteraturen kan vere relevant i høve til andre faglege retningar og på eit allment samfunnsmessig nivå. For at avhandlinga faktisk har blitt ferdig innanfor ”rimelege rammer”, vil eg rette ein takk til Institutt for lingvistikk og litteratur og Seksjon for allmenn litteraturvitskap ved UiB, som har gjeve meg kontorplass og eit fagleg miljø å forholde meg til. Administrasjonen har til eikvar tid gjort sitt beste for å løyse eventuelle praktiske problem som har dukka opp undervegs. Min rettleiar, professor Arild Linneberg, har bidratt fagleg, praktisk og moralsk til ferdigstillinga av avhandlinga. Morten Auklend har lese og kommentert heile manuset. Kari Jegerstedt, Anders Kristian Strand og Peter Svare Valeur har kommentert delar av avhandlinga. Mari Kjos Hellum fortener takk for generell moralsk støtte og oppmuntring under arbeidet med avhandlinga. Hanne Eide Andersen har delt interessa for temaet adopsjon på eit generelt plan utover akademia sine grenser, og har motivert og inspirert meg i tider der eg har tenkt at avhandlinga ikkje har hatt relevans for andre enn meg sjølv. 5 6 INNHALD FØREORD ................................................................................................................................. 5 INNLEIING ............................................................................................................................... 9 PANDORAS KRUKKE......................................................................................................... 9 EIT POLITISK PROSJEKT?............................................................................................... 11 THE KINDNESS OF STRANGERS...................................................................................... 17 BIOLOGOSENTRISME...................................................................................................... 25 ADOPSJONSLOVEN ........................................................................................................... 28 ADOPSJONSFORSKINGA ................................................................................................ 31 KAPITTEL 1............................................................................................................................ 35 BIOLOGOSENTRISME I LITTERATUREN .................................................................... 35 IMAGINING ADOPTION .................................................................................................... 40 DEN FREUDEFULLE ADOPTERTE ................................................................................ 49 MARTHE ROBERT ............................................................................................................ 54 MYTEN OM ”MYTEN OM HELTENS FØDSEL” ........................................................... 56 PETER BROOKS ................................................................................................................ 58 DEKONSTRUKSJON OG FAMILIE ................................................................................. 60 DEKONSTRUKSJON AV FAMILIEN .............................................................................. 63 BIOLOGOSENTRISME SOM DEKONSTRUKTIVT SKRØMT ..................................... 68 Å DEKONSTRUERE (FAMILIEN) ER Å DENATURALISERE (FAMILIEN) .............. 71 AD-OPTO SOM EKSISTENSIELT FAMILIEPRINSIPP.................................................. 73 KONGS-EMNERNE............................................................................................................. 80 AUSTERLITZ ....................................................................................................................... 89 KAPITTEL 2............................................................................................................................ 99 DEN UTSETTE UT-SETJINGA......................................................................................... 99 SFINKS OIDIPUS ............................................................................................................. 104 FRÅ ANDRE HENDER .................................................................................................... 117 DEN AV-SLØRTE OIDIPUS............................................................................................ 122 DEN FABRIKERTE FAREN............................................................................................ 126 WHAT'S IN A NAME? ..................................................................................................... 131 TILFELDIGE FEDRE ....................................................................................................... 134 Å VERE FAR TIL SIN FAR ............................................................................................. 137 ”WHAT IS A (BIOLOGICAL) FATHER?” ..................................................................... 141 SOFOKLES - FAR TIL OIDIPUS?................................................................................... 145 TALE OG SKRIFT – FAR OG SON................................................................................. 155 BIO-LOGOSENTRISME .................................................................................................. 159 DEN ADOPTERTE SOM HOMO SACER........................................................................ 162 HEATHCLIFF SOM HOMO SACER................................................................................ 167 REPETISJON OG DIFFERENS........................................................................................ 176 MRS.

Welcome: Robert Graves, Dean Dean Robert Graves described the difficulties that the College faced in AY 2009-2010. Even during the past five years, when the economy was in better shape than it is now, it had become increasingly clear that the College did not have funds or personnel sufficient to accomplish comfortably all the activities it currently undertakes. In view of these challenges, the College leadership began a process of re- examination in an effort to find economies of scale, explore new collaborations, and spur creative thinking and cooperation.

    Art of Burning Man 2013 Art of Burning Man 2013 The playa is a tabula rasa, a blank canvas upon which many a fantastic vision has been realized. Submarines, gigantic ducks, swimmers, fire-breathing thistles, serpents, chan- deliers, grandfather clocks and balsa wood temples have emerged from the playa. The projects featured in this guide were selected as Honorarium projects for 2013. Ev- ery year Burning Man allocates a percentage of its revenue from ticket sales to funding select art projects that are collaborative, community-oriented and interactive. We do this in order to support the Burning Man art community, and to facilitate the creation of outstanding art for Black Rock City. The vast majority of art installations on the pla- ya, however, are not funded. In 2013, a percentage of your hard-earned ticket money BLACK ROCK CITY helped to fund the following art installations, for all Burning Man participants to enjoy. GO CU This guide was put together using availble information on the web and references ma- CAR LT terials that origninate from the artists’ websites, fundraising projects and press. Photos used are also from these sources and may not credit the original photographer (please forgive us for that!). We hope this guide will illuminate the artists’ vision, and illustrate the immense amount of work that goes into bringing their magic cargo to the playa. 2013 Come visit the Artery in BRC at 6:30 and Esplanade to pick up self-guided tour maps that make a great companion to this guide.

  • Computational Aesthetics and Applications Yihang Bo1, Jinhui Yu2 and Kang Zhang3*
    Bo et al. Visual Computing for Industry, Biomedicine and Art (2018) 1:6 Visual Computing for Industry, https://doi.org/10.1186/s42492-018-0006-1 Biomedicine and Art REVIEW Open Access Computational aesthetics and applications Yihang Bo1, Jinhui Yu2 and Kang Zhang3* Abstract Computational aesthetics, which bridges science and art, is emerging as a new interdisciplinary field. This paper concentrates on two main aspects of computational aesthetics: aesthetic measurement and quantification, generative art, and then proposes a design generation framework. On aesthetic measurement and quantification, we review different types of features used in measurement, the currently used evaluation methods, and their applications. On generative art, we focus on both fractal art and abstract paintings modeled on well-known artists’ styles. In general, computational aesthetics exploits computational methods for aesthetic expressions. In other words, it enables computer to appraise beauty and ugliness and also automatically generate aesthetic images. Computational aesthetics has been widely applied to many areas, such as photography, fine art, Chinese hand-writing, web design, graphic design, and industrial design. We finally propose a design generation methodology, utilizing techniques from both aesthetic measurements and generative art. Keywords: Computational aesthetics, Aesthetic measurement, Generative art, Fractal art, Abstract painting Background of various visual expressions automatically. For example, The term “aesthetic” originated in Greek “aisthitiki” means automatic generation of abstract paintings in different perception through sensation. In Cambridge Dictionary, styles, such as those of Malevich or Kandinsky and aes- aesthetic is “related to the enjoyment or study of beauty”, thetic assessment of photo, calligraphy, painting, or other or “an aesthetical object or a work of art is one that throws forms of art works.
