  • Visual Grounded Analysis: Developing and Testing a Method for Preliminary Visual Research
    Visual Grounded Analysis: Developing and testing a method for Preliminary Visual Research Lisa Cerutti PhD A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Sir John Cass Faculty of Art, Architecture and Design London Metropolitan University i June 2017 v II ABSTRACT Approaching a new design project by performing preliminary visual research is a common practice in educational and studio settings, particularly in Jewellery and Fashion Design. Collecting images around a given subject or theme — for better understanding its visual traits, or for future reference — could be seen as the counterpart, in visual terms, of a literature search. However, ‘visual research’ is an expression often used rather vaguely for indicating a spectrum of unstructured methodological approaches, whose procedures and underlying assumptions tend to remain unexplained, undisclosed or unquestioned in everyday studio practice. When creative practice becomes an integral part of academic research, though, there is an increased need for rigor and explicitness regarding every aspect about it, including all the work preliminary to it. This research aims to develop and test a systematic method for conducting and documenting visual research in the preliminary stages of the design process, contributing to new knowledge in the form of a new visual method, also applicable as a design tool. A reflection on the vagueness and implicitness of the Intuitive Approach (IA) to visual research adopted in the initial stage of this PhD motivated the search for an alternative method that could make transparent and rigorous the taken-for-granted, subjective assumptions behind the research initially conducted.

    Facing Jazz, Facing Trauma: Modern Trauma and the Jazz Archive By Tyfahra Danielle Singleton A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature and the Designated Emphasis in Film Studies in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Judith Butler, Chair Professor Chana Kronfeld Professor Linda Williams Fall 2011 Facing Jazz, Facing Trauma: Modern Trauma and the Jazz Archive Copyright © 2011 by Tyfahra Danielle Singleton Abstract Facing Jazz, Facing Trauma: Modern Trauma and the Jazz Archive by Tyfahra Danielle Singleton Doctor of Philosophy in Comparative Literature University of California, Berkeley Professor Judith Butler, Chair ―Facing Jazz, Facing Trauma‖ posits American jazz music as a historical archive of an American history of trauma. By reading texts by Gayl Jones, Ralph Ellison, Franz Kafka; music and performances by Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday; the life, art and films of Josephine Baker, and the film The Jazz Singer (1927), my goal is to give African American experiences of trauma a place within American trauma studies and to offer jazz as an extensive archive of testimony for witnessing and for study. Initially, I explore the pivotal historical moment where trauma and jazz converge on a groundbreaking scale, when Billie Holiday sings ―Strange Fruit‖ in 1939. This moment illuminates the fugitive alliance between American blacks and Jews in forming the historical testimony that is jazz. ―Strange Fruit,‖ written by Jewish American Abel Meeropol, and sung by Billie Holiday, evokes the trauma of lynching in an effort to protest the same.

  • Music on the Wind: Women Songwriters in the More Traditional Revival in Ireland
    Music on the Wind: Women Songwriters in the More Traditional Revival in Ireland Ellen Macisaac Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 'gCluin tu rno ghlor 'til 'a cur do thuairisc? nzhaidin go noin, is as sin go deireadh Iae? fist, astor, tli ceol ar an ngaoth, Is casfar Ie cheile sinn roirnh dhul faoi don ghrian. Do you hear my voice, calling for you, From dawn till noon, and again till day's end? Listen, love, there is music on the wind, And we will meet again before the sun sets. -Maire Breatnach, "Eist" Late in my study of songwriting in the traditional idiom in Ireland's traditional song revival, I attended a festival in northern Donegal, where I was to interview a song writer who would later be featured in my dissertation. In the course of the interview, he made a comment that has stayed with me: "One of the things that I must say in all the years I've never met very many women songwriters ... that is an amazing fact (Joe Mulhern, personal communication, March 27,1999)." And an amazing fact it is. Although women make up fully half of the audience members and at least 35% of the singers in the traditional singing sessions that have sprung up as part of the "more traditional revival (Shields, 1993)" in modem-day Ireland, they are strangely absent from the act of song-making that often accompanies these same sessions. This paper is intended partially to redress that balance, by highlighting some women songwriters who are active today or have been active recently, to explore the issues surrounding their full participation in the sessions, and to suggest ways in which this research might provide a springboard to a fuller and richer discussion of gender issues and gendered expression.
