Barbara Crow Abstract This dissertation investigates a possible approach of dealing with experimental cinema. Film studies does not provide a framework for understanding the form and elements that comprise experimental films, for it mostly focuses on the content and narrative structure. The fundamental question that this dissertation takes up is how might one deal with films whose form mirrors the experience of the body? The broader contours of this dissertation explore the diminishing role of the human body in the digital age. It investigates the central place of the body in art and, ultimately, in all human experience. This dissertation adopts two means in developing the framework for considering experimental cinema and, its related counterpart, the diminishing role of the body and of the real experience amidst the thrust of technological progress. The first approach concentrates on the phenomenological body, a body as given in the immediacy of experience, and relies on the philosophy of Luce Irigaray and Maurice Merleau-Ponty in describing the experience involved in making art. The second explores the psychoanalytic conception of the body, a body propelled by its internal energies and their repressed traces, and turns to Sigmund Freud, Julia Kristeva and Anton Ehrenzweig, focusing on the role of the body and the primary process thinking in the art of the avant-garde. The theoretical positions explored in this dissertation permit the assertion that the human body is the source of and site of resistance in the culture of technological progress and technical thinking. Furthermore, this dissertation argues that those forms of the avant-garde art that explore the human body and strive to affirm its importance in human communication are essentially iv feminine. It identifies the characteristics of feminine aesthetics in visual art and experimental cinema by relying on the foundation set by the proponents of ecriture feminin. It insists that radical art today, in order for it to maintain its generative force, must embody the feminine aesthetics; it must assume characteristics of the repressed feminine. The theoretical framework in this dissertation offers a new perspective in the field of experimental cinema and avant-garde art for future artists and scholars. v Acknowledgmen ts Several people have been very generous to me by selflessly providing me with their support, patience, encouragement and inspiration, without which I would not have been able to complete this dissertation and projects. I would like to thank R. Bruce Elder for his supervision, guidance and a lot of patience in every step of the way towards completing this dissertation and becoming an artist-scholar. I am very grateful to him for introducing me, over a decade ago, to avant-garde cinema and poetics, and for his ceaseless inspiration through his films, writings, teaching and, of course, our conversations. I would to thank John O'Neill and John Picchione for their guidance and support with my dissertation, and for encouraging poetics of imagination in my writing. Natalya Androsova, Megan Andrews, liana Gutman, Erika Loic and Angela Joosse (five artist-scholars) have turned my solitary journey into an experience of creative and intellectual jouissance. Thank you. I would like to thank my family for their patience and support during my studies. Thank you to my parents for the sacrifices they made in their lives, including the many difficult years of emigration in hopes of a better life for my brother and me. Lastly, I would like to especially thank my husband John Oldenhof for enduring the life of a student for several more years, for ceaselessly providing me with encouragement and for his support during this difficult, yet exciting, journey. Thank you for being such a wonderful partner. vi Table of Contents Abstract iv Acknowledgments vi Table of Contents vii List of Figures ix I.

Introductions This dissertation investigates a possible approach of grappling with experimental films—films that I fell in love with while I was an undergraduate student, and which have summoned me to care for them however I might. Film studies has not been attentive to the experimental film practice and does not account or provide a framework for dealing with or understanding the form and elements that comprise these works (e.g., rhythm, colour, tone, etc.), for it is mostly focused on the content and narrative structure. So, how might one deal with films whose form mirrors the experience of the body, whether it is during lovemaking, in rage, or in mourning? This is the simple, basic question I have set myself. My interest in experimental cinema and in avant-garde art stems from its ability and, in most cases, its aim to re-activate a more primal mode of experience in the spectator as well as in the maker, one that asserts the importance of the corporeal dimension in human existence.

  • Following the Trail of the Snake: a Life History of Cobra Mansa “Cobrinha” Mestre of Capoeira
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FOLLOWING THE TRAIL OF THE SNAKE: A LIFE HISTORY OF COBRA MANSA “COBRINHA” MESTRE OF CAPOEIRA Isabel Angulo, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Dr. Jonathan Dueck Division of Musicology and Ethnomusicology, School of Music, University of Maryland Professor John Caughey American Studies Department, University of Maryland This dissertation is a cultural biography of Mestre Cobra Mansa, a mestre of the Afro-Brazilian martial art of capoeira angola. The intention of this work is to track Mestre Cobrinha’s life history and accomplishments from his beginning as an impoverished child in Rio to becoming a mestre of the tradition—its movements, music, history, ritual and philosophy. A highly skilled performer and researcher, he has become a cultural ambassador of the tradition in Brazil and abroad. Following the Trail of the Snake is an interdisciplinary work that integrates the research methods of ethnomusicology (oral history, interview, participant observation, musical and performance analysis and transcription) with a revised life history methodology to uncover the multiple cultures that inform the life of a mestre of capoeira. A reflexive auto-ethnography of the author opens a dialog between the experiences and developmental steps of both research partners’ lives. Written in the intersection of ethnomusicology, studies of capoeira, social studies and music education, the academic dissertation format is performed as a roda of capoeira aiming to be respectful of the original context of performance. The result is a provocative ethnographic narrative that includes visual texts from the performative aspects of the tradition (music and movement), aural transcriptions of Mestre Cobra Mansa’s storytelling and a myriad of writing techniques to accompany the reader in a multi-dimensional journey of multicultural understanding.

  • What Size Is the Universe? the Cosmic Uroboros
    Chapter 6 What Size is the Universe? The Cosmic Uroboros The size of a human being is at the center of all the possible sizes in the universe. This amazing assertion challenges not only the centuries-old philosophical assumption that humans are insignificantly small compared to the vastness of the universe but also the logical assumption that there is no such thing as a central size. Both assumptions are false, but we have to reconsider the key words of the assertion – center, possible, size, and universe – to reveal the prejudices built into them that constrict and distort our picture of reality. In the modern universe there is a largest and a smallest size, and therefore a middle size. The size of a thing is not arbitrary but crucial to its nature, which is why scale models can never really work. Only by understanding size and its role in determining which laws of physics matter on different size scales can we can get an accurate perspective on anything outside the narrow realm of human experience. This chapter will develop a new symbolic picture of the universe that portrays us in our true place among everything else that exists. There are wildly different-sized objects in the universe. Betelgeuse is the bright star at the upper left corner of the familiar winter constellation Orion. It is a red giant so monstrously larger than our sun that it could fill the orbit of Mars. Earth is a mere pebble beside it. But compared to our home Galaxy, the Milky Way, Betelgeuse is just a spark in a raging forest fire.

  • The Four Phases of Wilber's Theory of Human
    Ken Wilber’s Model of Human Development: An Overview v.5.0 Compiled by Paul M. Helfrich September 4, 2007 1 Foreword This compilation is a work in progress that outlines Ken Wilber’s integral theory to date. There have been four main phases, and an emergent Phase-5, in a body of work that covers almost thirty-five years, over twenty books, and numerous articles. As I researched them, it became clear that these phases are, in fact, a great way to introduce his overall system – a sort of Wilber 101. The main challenge was what concepts to leave out so that what remained adequately reflects the foundational core. The following excerpts, mostly in Wilber’s own words, help the theory unfold in its own developmental fashion. As always, it’s critical to study the books for all the gory details. Often times, subtle details, clarifications, and novel concepts are found in various endnotes, some reaching fifteen or more pages in length. There are also three websites that provide additional resources for further study. The Wilber site on Shambhala, his main publisher: http://wilber.shambhala.com/html/archive/archive.cfm The Wilber site on: http://www.kenwilber.com Frank Visser’s Integral World: Exploring Theories of Everything website: http://www.integralworld.net Kenneth Earl Wilber (b. 1949), the integral philosopher and psychologist, resides in Denver, Colorado. He is a founding principal of the Integral Institute in nearby Boulder. He traces his family lineage back to Meriwether Lewis (of the Lewis and Clark Expedition), was born an “Air Force brat” in Oklahoma City, OK, is around 6’5” tall, tips the scales around 185 pounds, has a penchant for dogs, Red Bull, and chocolate, and considers himself a pandit, or scholar/teacher; a concept derived from the Hindu tradition of jnana yoga.
