Um padrão de pronúncia para mudar o status da língua falada no Brasil
Authors: Monteiro Luciano
Published: December 2021

Este artigo analisa pela perspectiva da História das Ciências o Primeiro Congresso da Língua Nacional Cantada, que foi organizado por Mário de Andrade em 1937. A reconstrução historiográfica se baseia nos debates sobre a padronização da pronúncia realizados durante o evento. Naquele momento, estava em jogo o status ontológico da variedade brasileira em relação ao português europeu, e a iniciativa de padronização protagonizada por Mário de Andrade colocava o saber linguístico em circulação no país a serviço desse debate. O trabalho apresenta uma leitura crítica das fontes, situa o evento no contexto intelectual da década de 1930 e examina como nele se articularam as interpretações políticas, estéticas e científicas daquilo que se entendia como “língua nacional”. A conclusão é que, apesar de pouco conhecido, esse foi um dos eventos mais importantes da história dos estudos linguísticos no Brasil. Embora não seja simples distinguir um legado, sua relevância se traduz, sobretudo, na permanência, nas décadas seguintes, dos problemas discutidos durante o evento.
A designação de mulher síria refugiada no portal ACNUR/ONU
Authors: Silva Giseli Veronêz da
Published: December 2021

Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um estudo semântico enunciativo das relações designativas das Formação Nominal Refugiada Síria em um corpus constituído de textos (manchetes/notícias) publicados no portal da ACNUR ─ Alto comissariado das nações unidas para Refugiados, (www.acnur.org), responsável por desenvolver atividades oficiais de proteção ao fenômeno mundial “crise dos refugiados”. Faremos nossas análises a partir de uma base teórico-metodológica que leva em consideração os estudos enunciativos, de maneira mais específica, nos trabalhos desenvolvidos por Guimarães (1987; 2002; 2018). Nessa direção, este trabalho que parcialmente foi resultado da tese de doutorado, investiga os sentidos dessa formação nominal nos enunciados-títulos de notícias do portal da ACNUR, considerado como “uma questão crucial” nas análises, pois, “o sentido é produzido na enunciação tomada como acontecimento de linguagem” (GUIMARÃES, 2012, p. 19). Pautados neste princípio, com a realização desta pesquisa, observamos que a formação nominal refugiada síria é reescrita por outras formações nominais determinadas por uma história enunciativa que constitui o sujeito mulher síria refugiada a partir de um memorável específico em cada enunciação
A contribuição de Amélia Mingas para uma história linguística angolana: contextualizações iniciais
Authors: Santos Eduardo Ferreira dos
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo contextualizar e analisar a produção da linguista angolana Amélia Mingas (1940-2019), em específico seu trabalho Interferência do kimbundu no português falado em Lwanda – 2000 (1988). A partir dessa obra, pretendemos apontar sua contribuição na delimitação de uma história linguística transatlântica subequatorial e descolonizada, nos termos de Negrão (2020) e Coelho; Finbow (2020), contemplando, assim, ecologias ainda pouco privilegiadas em abordagens majoritariamente eurocêntricas. Utilizando-se dos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Historiografia Linguística, disciplina responsável pela descrição, análise e interpretação do conhecimento sobre as línguas e a linguagem, produzidos por diferentes agentes e em diferentes intervalos temporais (BATISTA, 2019, p.9), buscamos evidenciar o contexto em que a obra de Mingas foi produzida, isto é, o clima de opinião que permeou o desenvolvimento da obra em questão. Desse modo, valemo-nos das reflexões de Swiggers (2013, 2019) sobre os instrumentos conceptuais da Historiografia Linguística, assim como o princípio da contextualização de Koerner (1996, 2014) para alcançarmos nosso objetivo
A wave of metaphors: image and visual metaphors in cartoons from a cognitive-discursive perspective
Authors: Vereza Solange Coelho , Dienstbach Dalby
Published: December 2021

This paper aligns with a field of research that deals with the use of multimodal metaphors from a cognitive-discursive perspective. In this context, we aim to investigate the role played by images in the instantiation of cross-domain mappings in a particular genre. Specifically, we describe and analyze the cognitive-discursive nature and functioning of visual metaphors in political and social cartoons. This paper first explores the concepts of image schemas, image metaphors, and visual metaphors, as well as the notion of metaphoricity in discourse. We then carry out the analysis of multimodal metaphors in a corpus of editorial cartoons that depict the Covid-19 pandemic, and other related issues within social and political contexts. Some of our findings suggest that cartoons often evoke multilayered off-line frames, image metaphors and conceptual metaphors in order to enhance the persuasive power of their semiotic arrangement, especially by inviting their audience to actively participate in meaning-construction processes

Nuevas perspectivas sobre militancias de alto riesgo: Ciudad de Guatemala, 1980–1985
Authors: Vela Castañeda Manolo E.
Published: December 2021

En este artículo propongo un nuevo enfoque teórico para analizar la militancia de alto riesgo. Argumento que, a la idea original de disponibilidad biográfica, de McAdam, es preciso integrar tres perspectivas analíticas: lo que aquí llamo repertorio de alto riesgo; un análisis de las estructuras de movilización; y, un entendimiento más preciso del tiempo, para lo cual propongo el concepto de situación de alto riesgo. Este nuevo enfoque teórico es puesto a prueba en el análisis micro de las trayectorias de vida de cuatro militantes que se hallaron en Ciudad de Guatemala, en una perspectiva de tiempo que va de 1980 a 1985. La perspectiva de alto riesgo es empleada aquí para entender una dimensión de la desaparición forzada, enfocada en los militantes, sus contextos y sus razones para, a pesar del alto riesgo, haber decidido permanecer.
Historical Space in Songs of the Eighteenth Century About the Russian-Turkish Wars
Authors: Иванова Татьяна Григорьевна
Published: December 2021

В статье рассматриваются исторические песни XVIII в., посвященные Русско-турецким войнам 1768-1774 и 1787-1791 гг. Предметом исследования является историческое пространство песен, выраженное топонимами. Анализируется оппозиция «свой»/«чужой» в связи с топонимами Россия и Турция, исследуется место столичных городов Москва, Петербург, Киев в поэтике исторических песен. Обращается внимание на то, что столица Турции в фольклоре именуется и ее официальным именем, и старинным именем Царьград, знакомым со времен Древней Руси. Историко-песенный фольклор XVIII в. аккумулирует в себе топонимы разных временных пластов, сохраняя наследие предыдущих столетий (Русь → Россия; Киев → Москва → Петербург; Царьград → Стамбул). Топонимы оказываются весьма выразительны в демонстрации преемственности традиции. Подчеркивается, что для исторических песен на первом месте оказывается Москва, а не Петербург. Рассматриваются также бывшие турецкие локусы Причерноморья, ставшие актуальными для русских солдат в связи с военными действиями в этом регионе (Очаков, Березань). Второй регион, находящийся в центре внимания, - Днестровско-Прутско-Дунайское пространство (Дунай, Силистрия, Хотин, Бендеры, Измаил). Специально подчеркивается, что в топонимах Дунай и Троянова дорога отсутствует мифологический подтекст, имеющийся в других (не песенных) произведениях фольклора. Рассматриваются связи историко-песенного фольклора XVIII в. с предшествующей фольклорной традицией.

This article deals with historical songs of the eighteenth century dedicated to the Russian-Turkish wars of 1768-1774 and 1787-1791. The focus of the study is the historical space depicted in the songs as expressed by toponyms. It analyzes the opposition “own” / “alien” in connection with the toponyms Russia and Turkey and examines the place of the capital cities Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Kiev in their poetics. Attention is drawn to the fact that in folklore the capital of Turkey is called both by its official name and by the ancient name Tsargrad. Historical and song folklore of the eighteenth century accumulates toponyms of different time layers, preserving the heritage of previous centuries. Toponyms are very expressive in demonstrating the continuity of tradition. Thus in historical songs Moscow is in the first place, not St. Petersburg. The article also considers the Turkish loci of the Black Sea region which became relevant for Russian soldiers in connection with military operations in this region (Ochakov, Berezan). The second region that is in the focus of attention is the Dniester-Prut-Danube area (Danube, Silistria, Khotyn, Bender, Izmail). Notably, the toponyms Danube and Troyanova Doroga (Troyanov Way) lack the mythological subtext found in other (non-song) works of folklore. The author also considers the connections between the historical and song folklore of the eighteenth century with the earlier folklore tradition.
Tradition and Modernity in the Work of Komi Storytellers (SUS 502 “Copper Forehead”)
Authors: Коровина Надежда Степановна
Published: December 2021

Глубокая и прочная связь коми и русской сказочных традиций отмечалась неоднократно, вместе с тем конкретных разысканий по данной проблеме недостаточно. По этой причине в статье предпринята попытка исследовать особенности взаимодействия сказок соседних народов, принадлежащих к разным языковым семьям, но имеющих близкие культурные традиции. Материалом стал сказочный сюжет СУС 502 «Медный лоб». Проанализировав пять вариантов коми сказки, можно заметить, что в них реализованы все значимые эпизоды этого сюжетного типа. Однако наблюдения над коми региональным материалом меняют представление о стабильности законов народной сказки. При современном процессе затухания сказочной фольклорной традиции произошли изменения в наиболее устойчивой ее составляющей - сюжетно-композиционном строении. Широкое варьирование коми сказочниками сюжетов, образов, их трансформация привели к «новеллизации» некоторой части коми сказок, превращению их в авантюрно-фантастические устные повести. Традиционные сюжеты переосмыслялись прежде всего путем контаминации, а также путем сближения фольклорных сказок с русскими книжными произведениями. Приведенные примеры закономерных изменений отнюдь не говорят о полном разрушении его глубинной традиционной основы. Исследование показало, что коми сказочники имели представление о традиционной сказочной обрядности, широко ими пользовались, что во многом способствовало сохранению волшебной сказки как жанра.

The strong connection between the Komi and Russian fairy tale traditions has been noted repeatedly, yet research on this issue is clearly insufficient. In this article the author attempts to define the interaction of fairy tales of these neighboring peoples which belong to different linguistic families but which have closely related cultural traditions. Its specific focus is fairy tale SUS number 502 “Copper Forehead.” It examines five Komi variants of the fairy tale that contain all of the significant elements of this plot type. Examination of the Komi material challenges the idea that the laws governing folktales are stable. With the fading of folkloric traditions, there have been changes in fairy tales’ most stable components, their plot and compositional structure. Komi storytellers have introduced changes that transform Komi fairy tales in the direction of “novelization,” turning them to some extent into oral tales of adventure and fantasy. Traditional stories are reinterpreted primarily due to contamination, including bringing folklore tales closer to those from Russian books. At the same time, these normal changes by no means indicate the complete destruction of Komi folklore’s deep traditional basis. The study also demonstrates that Komi storytellers have had a clear notion of traditional fairy-tale patterns and made wide use of them, which has largely contributed to the preservation of the fairy tale as a genre.
Russian Émigré Ethnographers in Beijing

Published: December 2021

Статья посвящена работе русских исследователей по изучению традиционной культуры Китая, которое началось в Пекинской духовной миссии и российском посольстве в Пекине и было продолжено русскими эмигрантами, оказавшимися в Китае в ходе Гражданской войны в России и после нее. Большой вклад в изучение этнографии Китая внес Иван Серебренников. Особенно важной является его работа, основанная на полевых исследованиях и интервью, об албазинцах, потомках русских первопроходцев. Очень многое в изучении Китая сделали русские дипломаты, служившие в российском посольстве в Пекине: Иван Коростовец, Яков Бранд, Николай Колесов и др. Этнографическими исследованиями в Китае, связанными часто с педагогической деятельностью, занимались и эмигранты из России: Сергей Широкогоров, Иван Гапанович, Сергей Полевой и др. Их многолетнее погружение в китайский язык и культуру создало благоприятные условия для исследований и принесло результаты в виде научных трудов, которые востребованы и сегодня. Они оказали влияние и на китайских деятелей науки и культуры, знакомя их с русскими методами исследований. К сожалению, до сего дня сохранилось не так много публикаций о традиционной культуре Китая, изданных на русском языке. Большое количество работ осталось в рукописях, которые хранятся в зарубежных собраниях, что делает их труднодоступными для российских исследователей. Основанная на материалах, выявленных в иностранных архивах и библиотеках, данная статья сообщает ранее неизвестные факты об изучении этнографии Китая русскими.

This article is devoted to the work of Russian researchers on the traditional culture of China which began at the Beijing Theological Mission and the Russian Embassy in Beijing and was continued by Russian émigrés who ended up in China during and after the Civil War in Russia. Ivan Serebrennikov was one who made a great contribution to the study of the ethnography of China. Especially important is his work about the Albazinians, descendants of Russian pioneers, which was based on field research and interviews. Russian diplomats who served at the Russian Embassy in Beijing - Ivan Korostovets, Yakov Brand, Nikolai Kolesov and others - did a lot of research on China. Émigrés from Russia, often associated with pedagogical activity, also engaged in ethnographic rearch in China. These included: Sergei Shirokogorov, Ivan Gapanovich, Sergei Polevoy and others. They influenced Chinese cultural scientists, introducing them to Russian research methods. Their many years of immersion in Chinese language and culture produced valuable research that is still in demand today. Unfortunately, to this day there are not many works about the traditional culture of China published in Russian. A large number of works have remained in manuscript and are kept in foreign collections, which makes them difficult for Russian researchers to access. Based on material collected from foreign archives and libraries, this article reports on previously unknown material concerning the study of Chinese ethnography by Russians.
Mechanism-Based Strategy for Optimizing HaloTag Protein Labeling
Authors: Marques Sérgio , Slanska Michaela , Chmelova Klaudia , Chaloupkova Radka , Marek Martin , Clark Spencer , Damborsky Jiri , Kool Eric T. , Bednar David , Prokop Zbynek
Published: December 2021

HaloTag labeling technology has introduced unrivaled potential in protein chemistry, molecular and cellular biology. A wide variety of ligands have been developed to meet the specific needs of diverse applications, but only a single protein tag, DhaAHT, is routinely used for their incorporation. Following a systematic kinetic and computational analysis of different reporters, tetramethylrhodamine and three 4-stilbazolium-based fluorescent ligands, we showed that the mechanism of incorporating different ligands depends both on the binding step and the efficiency of the chemical reaction. By studying the different haloalkane dehalogenases DhaA, LinB, and DmmA, we found that the architecture of the access tunnels is critical for the kinetics of both steps and the ligand specificity. We show that highly efficient labelling with specific ligands is achievable with natural dehalogenases. We propose a simple protocol for selecting the optimal protein tag for a specific ligand from a wide pool of available enzymes with diverse access tunnel architectures. The application of this protocol eliminates a need for expensive and laborious protein engineering.

Elles réfléchissent notamment à l’importance du positionnement et des relations de décentrements et de recentrements qui surgissent lorsque des chercheur.e.s non autochtones se penchent sur l’œuvre d’auteur.e.s des Premières Nations, que leur visée soit critique ou pédagogique.
engagement poétique et politique de Samian
Authors: Melançon Johanne
Published: December 2021

Le rappeur d’origine anishnabé Samian (Samuel Tremblay) s’inscrit de façon originale au sein de la chanson québécoise, dans le contexte d’un essor de la chanson populaire autochtone avec ses quatre albums : Face à soi-même (2007), Face à la musique (2010), Enfant de la terre (2014) et Le messager (2019). Le parcours de Samian, premier rappeur en langue algonquine et chanteur engagé qui croit au pouvoir des mots, révèle un double engagement, poétique et politique, et témoigne d’un cheminement qui va d’une quête de soi et de la part de son héritage autochtone, vers un appel à un projet de société humaniste et universaliste, toujours guidé par une pratique artistique authentique, inspirée par une spiritualité de plus en plus affirmée.
Partir pour se trouver ou la quête identitaire de deux étudiantes chinoises en France dans les années 1920
Authors: Estran Jacqueline
Published: December 2021

Pionnières en Chine par le choix qu’elles font de suivre des études supérieures, Su Xuelin et Chen Xuezhao le sont aussi par leur décision de partir à l’étranger pour cela, à une époque où peu de femmes se lancent dans l’aventure. Elles se singularisent également par leur destination, la France, alors peu fréquentée par les étudiants chinois (et par un nombre encore plus limité d’écrivains). Intellectuelles de premier plan, elles se consacreront essentiellement, pour l’une, à l’histoire et à la critique de la littérature chinoise (Su Xuelin) et, pour l’autre, au journalisme (Chen Xuezhao).

Venues en France pour des raisons radicalement différentes, elles transcrivent toutes deux cette expérience sous forme de roman, Jixin [Des épines dans le cœur] pour Su Xuelin et Nanfeng de meng [Le rêve du vent du sud] pour Chen Xuezhao, publiés l’un et l’autre en 1929. Et c’est précisément par ce choix que Su Xuelin et Chen Xuezhao, atypiques par leur parcours, se montrent représentatives du questionnement identitaire des femmes en Chine au cours des années 1920, questionnement qui les amène à une prise de conscience d’elles-mêmes, une construction identitaire qu’elles partagent avec leurs compatriotes, malgré - ou grâce à - leur parcours si éloigné de celles restées sur place, un parcours marqué par l’exil.
Voyage des enfants de la postcolonie vers l’ailleurs-paradis
Authors: Mapangou Dacharly
Published: December 2021

Phénomène social total, l’immigration est devenue une modalité majeure de la poétique de la fiction africaine francophone postcoloniale. Le champ littéraire africain francophone dévoile, depuis le début des années quatre-vingt jusqu’à maintenant, l’émergence d’une fiction de la migration mettant en scène le sujet africain postcolonial hanté par une vision édénique de la terre de l’Autre : l’Europe occidental, qu’il considère comme un endroit propice à sa réussite. À ce titre, la lecture de Le Ventre de l’Atlantique de Fatou Diome, qui raconte la fascination qu’ont les enfants de la postcolonie pour l’Europe d’une part, et de l’autre, leur devenir, une fois arrivé dans le pays d’accueil, apparaît, de ce point de vue, fort éclairante, pour mener une réflexion sur la mythification et la démythification de l’Ailleurs-paradis.
The influence of running wide on the bend on finishing times and positions in men’s and
women’s 800 m finals at major global championships
Authors: González-Mohíno Fernando , Casado Arturo , Renfree Andrew , González-Ravé José María , Hanley Brian
Published: December 2021

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of running wide on bends regarding intermediate changes of position, dispersion of athletes, and speed relative to season best (SB) between medalists and non-medalists in men’s and women’s 800 m championship finals. Extra distance covered on bends was measured using official videos. The total distance run was calculated and described as the minimum calculable
distance. Theoretical mean speeds, theoretical finishing times and theoretical
finishing positions were calculated. In addition, intermediate and total changes of position (on bends and straights) and dispersion between athletes in each 100-m segment were calculated. Finishing times and segment times were calculated relative to SB. Theoretical finishing times were faster than official finishing times (p<.001). Finishing positions were influenced by extra distance covered. Medalists displayed a higher number of positive changes of intermediate positions than non-medalists (p<.001), occurring mainly on the straights (p=.003) and were greatest between 500 and 600 m (p=.003), without differences between groups in total extra distance and in extra distance covered on each bend. Medalists displayed higher total speeds relative
to SB (p=.042) and over the 500-600 m segment onwards (p<.05), increasing the dispersion from this segment onwards (p<.001). These findings indicate that running the shortest distance on the bends and being able to accelerate during the last 300 m of the race positively influence finishing position in major championships 800 m finals.
INSTRUMENTOS DE POLÍTICA Y LA CULTURA MARÍTIMA (PNOEC – CONPES BIOCEÁNICO)
Authors: Orozco Zárate Johnattan José
Published: December 2021

En Colombia, el trabajo de muchas entidades que construyen país marítimo en el marco del Comité Técnico Nacional de Cultura Marítima (CTN – CUL), liderado por la Comisión Colombiana del Océano, trabajan en la formulación de instrumentos de política que dan una aproximación para conocer, cuantificar y/o proteger el Patrimonio Cultural Marítimo, sea material o inmaterial; es por eso que la Política Nacional del Océano y los Espacios Costeros – PNOEC, tiene un aparte especial que orienta acciones que permiten posicionar en la agenda pública nacional la cultura marítima. Por lo anterior, este articulo muestra la relación entre las líneas de acción de la PNOEC con otros instrumentos, como el CONPES Bioceánico 3990. Una vez, se conocen las acciones particulares por cada política, es evidente que la PNOEC aspira al reconocimiento del patrimonio cultural marítimo con una visión holística y no solo atendiendo al Patrimonio Cultural Sumergido.
PAISAJE Y RITUALIDAD EN EL MANANTIAL LA MEDIA LUNA, SAN LUIS POTOSÍ, MÉXICO
Authors: Ruiz Roberto
Published: December 2021

El manantial La Media Luna es un sitio arqueológico prehispánico ubicado en la Zona Media del estado de San Luis Potosí en México y cuya ocupación va del 200 d.C. al 1000 d.C., según la interpretación de la evidencia que distintos investigadores han hecho. Se sabe de su importancia ritual gracias a los hallazgos en su interior, tales como ofrendas de cerámica que constan de vasijas y figurillas; además de restos óseos, líticos y textiles. Sumado a los elementos arqueológicos que lo componen, el espacio es una fuente de información que ayuda a entender las razones por las que sociedades prehispánicas lo eligieron como un lugar de culto, esto último es lo que pretende explicar la presente investigación. El manantial, el cerro y las cuevas, entre otros elementos presentes que han sido explorados a partir de reconocimientos de superficie y experimentados desde lo sensorial, son indicadores que permitirían entender de forma global y desde la arqueología del paisaje la ritualidad de este sitio.
Sensory evaluation and antimicrobial activity of snack bar from black soybean
and black rice containing anthocyanins
Authors: Pramitasari R. , Ariela C. , Waturangi D.E.
Published: December 2021

Snack bars made from black soybean and black rice could be used as a food product to
complement the energy and nutrients needs. Both have anthocyanins content in black
soybean and black rice as well as the potential as an antimicrobial agent. The purpose of
this study was to obtain an optimal formula, evaluate the sensory acceptance, analyze the
total monomeric anthocyanin content of the snack bars, and compare the growth of
probiotic and pathogenic bacteria in anthocyanins crude extracts from the snack bars. The
production of snack bars was done by using three variations of main ingredients, including
30% of black soybean + 70% of black rice (formula 1), 50% of black soybean + 50% of
black rice (formula 2), and 70% of black soybean + 30% of black rice (formula 3). The
results performed that consumers acceptance for formulas 2 and 3 was not significantly
different (P > 0.05), but significantly higher (P < 0.05) than formula 1. Total monomeric
anthocyanin content analyzed by the pH differential method in these three snack bars
formulas had no significant difference (P > 0.05). The growth analysis of probiotic and
pathogenic bacteria showed that the percentage of growth inhibition of Escherichia coli
and Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi bacteria was significantly higher (P = 0.00)
compared to Lactobacillus acidophilus. Also, formulas 1 and 2 could significantly inhibit
E. coli and S. enterica ser. Typhi bacteria (P = 0.00) compared to formula 3. It could be
concluded that formula 2 showed the best snack bar based on sensory evaluation and
pathogenic bacteria inhibition assay.
Reading Our ‘Destiny in the World We Have Made’: Inscriptions and Incantations of Race in the Wake of the Christchurch Massacres
Authors: Al-Asaad Faisal
Published: December 2021

In the wake of colonial violence, how do we come to terms with its event while refusing the power exercised by these very terms? If race is an organising grammar upon which we must draw in articulating the very realities to which it consigns us, then what recourse does it leave us in disarticulating and remaking these realities? This article is a meditation on these questions in the context of the massacres at two Christchurch mosques, and the raced discourses which they occasioned. In exploring these discourses as raced, the emphasis here is on their temporal qualities: on race as the coding of the time and the place (or non-place) in history where its subjects belong. Against the legibility and transparency with which race interpellates its subjects, is there a magic in the opacity and poetics of speech through which we can rewrite our ‘destinies’ and reinvent ourselves?
Bringing the German Pavilion Back Home
Authors:   , Wright Jessica
Published: December 2021

This research investigates a correspondence between the architectural representational tool of drawing, and the translations of these into something recognised as ‘built’. It is fundamentally concerned around representation in architecture driven by the principles that our entire engagement with architecture is via representation. Architects do not produce buildings but produce images of buildings, and the role of two-dimensional representation plays a principal part in architecture. Architecture is always representational, and the more we engage with representation the more we might push the envelope with what we understand architecture to be.   This thesis aims to establish within the contemporary discipline, what we understand about the responsibility of linear perspective as a representational tool. By understanding what lies behind the canon of perspective in architecture, this thesis questions whether the representation of conventional architecture could benefit from a new way of drawing linear perspective?   The discovery of perspective during the Renaissance has influenced not only our way of representing architecture but also how we view, and therefore design it. It has become integrated with our understanding of architecture at an unconscious level. Architects no longer need control of projective geometry, and due to this cannot be critical of the system of representation or control its limits. This leads to mediate a shift in perspective, with the intention to generate a representation of new form.   The motivation for this thesis was that from linear perspective, as it has done so for centuries, we can produce evocative and meaningful vocabularies that attempt to enrich architecture.
China Miéville: The Work of Mourning
Authors:   , Owen Peter
Published: December 2021

This thesis begins from an attempt to place recent changes in science fiction and fantasy criticism in context within contemporary debates and schisms within Left politics. It examines the ways in which China Miéville’s fiction reflects on and intervenes in these debates on questions of modernity, community, and collectivity. Through readings of The City & the City, The Last Days of New Paris, and This Census-Taker, I seek to examine the ways in which Miéville’s fiction, through an acknowledgement of the impossibility of escaping historically and culturally situated perspectives and through an awareness of the dangers of the appeal to community, arrives at the position of foregrounding contingency, heterogeneity, and ambiguity. Drawing particularly on Derrida’s image of the ghost in Spectres of Marx and its exploration and elaboration in the work of Simon Critchley, I argue that Miéville’s writing, especially in his most recentnovellas, is representative of, and participative in, politics as a work of mourning.
An Inclusive Community: Architecture for Age Integration
Authors:   , James Pearl
Published: December 2021

Our elderly population is increasing and people are living longer. Healthcare advancements mean that illnesses are more controlled and people do not die as young.   Due to our age-segregated society, the issue of elderly social isolation is at an all time high. Retirement villages are, for the most part, gated communities, isolated away from the rest of the younger population and wider community. The generation gap between young and older continues to broaden and issues such as elderly neglect, loneliness, financial abuse and other mental-health related problems are becoming more common.  This research finds that many suburban community facilities often neglect the needs of this growing senior demographic. The site at 245 Karori Road, Karori, is used to test and challenge the norms of current suburban community architecture typologies for social inclusiveness.  The site is tested in three iterative stages led by an interdisciplinary literature review to address this overarching problem of age-segregation in suburban communities. A major focus in this research is to target the suburb’s youngest and oldest members to shift negative ageist attitudes through providing spaces for intergenerational interaction.  This research portfolio is a critique of current community architecture typologies such as the community centre and public space, to investigate ways these typologies could be redefined and altered to play a key role in countering the negative effects of age-segregation.
Re-imagining Suburban Living in Residual Urban Space
Authors:   , Cunningham Emma
Published: December 2021

The attraction of the suburban lifestyle for many, is the comforting uniformity and lack of density, the desire to own your own little patch of land to use however you please. However, the lack of diversity this lifestyle offers is also a key reason as to why certain demographics are choosing to relocate back to urban centres. A significant number of young adults are rethinking where they want to live, work and play, and they are choosing the city. They are revitalising entire neighbourhoods, making urban living fun and safe for all ages. In choosing the city, they have begun to dream something different to the lifestyle defined as the traditional “Suburban Dream” (Breen & Rigby, 2004).   As the population continues to increase, available land for development decreases, resulting in suburban sprawl. The consequences of this pattern of suburban sprawl include social issues such as a lack of human contact and a declining sense of community. As people are having to spend longer travelling to and from work in the city, they therefore tend to stay in their homes once they return at the end of a long day. Other key consequences include increased traffic congestion and the resultant environmental problems such as increased petrol consumption, reduced air quality and farmland destruction (Breen & Rigby, 2004). In contrast, the urban neighbourhood has a sense of community about it, many features are within walking distance and the footpaths and walkways promote a friendly, social environment, which may be lacking or hard to access in the sprawling suburbs.   This research portfolio aims to develop and present an alternative approach to living in inner city New Zealand. A new strategy that will bridge the gap between the typology of the spacious suburban home and over developed, inner city apartment blocks by adapting unused or underutilised sites already existing within the urban fabric. Often people are reluctant to downsize from the commodious suburban homes that they have grown accustomed to. Therefore, this proposed housing must take the fundamentals of suburban housing and condense it into a compact model suitable for the urban environment while also meeting the needs and expectations of the intended occupants.   The objective is to create compact homes that will beautify and give new purpose to unused spaces in the urban environment. As a way of reducing urban sprawl by adapting vacant spaces which already exist within the urban fabric. Learning from, and developing upon successful infill strategies already employed throughout the world dealing with the issue of underutilised urban space. These homes should not detract, but rather add to the appearance of the present streetscape for current residents. Repurposing vacant sites and spaces into condensed, compact, comfortable housing solutions to encourage those looking to relocate from suburban to urban therefore reducing the suburban sprawl.
From Coltrane to Magma and beyond: Interpreting musical meaning through composition
Authors:   , Bradley Reuben
Published: December 2021

This thesis is an exploration of the work A Love Supreme composed by John Coltrane, his influence on the band Magma, and their composition, Zëss. By applying Clifford Geertz’s interpretive framework to the work of Coltrane and Magma, I suggest that the spiritual concerns of these composers was the primary motivating factor in the creation of their music.  I argue for a definition of Coltrane’s musical work, particularly A Love Supreme, as ‘arranged spontaneous spiritual music’, acknowledging that Coltrane’s spirituality was a vehicle for the music and, simultaneously, the music was a vehicle for his spirituality.   I also discuss the composer of Zëss, Christian Vander, who has a deeply cemented love of John Coltrane’s music and spiritual concepts, both of which coexist in the music of his band, Magma.   My composition synthesises and expands on the work of both Coltrane and Magma. Descend, based on Dante’s Inferno, contains my own interpreted meanings of A Love Supreme and Zëss. The story of Inferno is similar to that of Coltrane’s and Vander’s commitment in their spiritual lives, and in this project I make my own interpretations to access my own spirituality through the act of composition.
Where is the Queer? A case study of LGBTQ representation in Aotearoa New Zealand exhibitions
Authors:   , Derksen Peter
Published: December 2021

Modern museums and galleries are cultural spaces that often participate in human rights advocacy and social activism. Exhibitions within these spaces are the physical manifestations of these ideologies, the way that institutions connect with their audiences and with the communities they purport to represent. ‘Where is the Queer?’ explores the ways that museums and galleries in Aotearoa represent queerness within their exhibitions, in various stages of the development process. This dissertation addresses a key gap in the literature by critically re-engaging with queerness, exploring the intersections between queer theory and museum theory in an area under-examined in New Zealand practice.  This research was exploratory in nature, utilizing a credible multi-method case study approach to retrieve data from an ephemeral process, exhibition production. Archival documentary research provided the necessary background to the exhibitions’ development, as well as supporting evidence for various curatorial choices. Interviews with curators then established key areas of interest, including curatorial strategies, conceptual goals, tailored public programming, and their perspectives on issues with LGBTQ representation.  The findings of this research show that exhibiting queerness is difficult terrain to negotiate, although museums and galleries generally aim to present and include a diversity of perspectives in a balanced way. However, the ways that queerness is represented also tend to rely on now outdated ideologies, such as an emphasis on gay men’s perspectives, reductive ‘coming-out’ narratives, and a neutral stance on the messages the exhibitions put forward. The comparative analysis of the cases points to the need for museums and galleries to engage more critically with queer history, theory and the community more broadly. In practice, this means greater levels of collaboration with the communities they hope to serve, taking a more activist approach that gives authority to queer voices throughout development. This is significant as queer communities become increasingly visible and celebrated in New Zealand society; representing these communities in public spaces needs to be a process in line with current ideas and not rely on defunct, overly simple, or potentially damaging modes of representation. This research therefore has applicability for both museum curatorial practice and a broader human rights movement, by challenging the sector within New Zealand and internationally to engage effectively with queer content.
Flight of the Factory

New Zealand’s industrial heritage is largely forgotten and at risk of being lost. Without intervention, these buildings will continue to decay until demolition becomes the only feasible option. This design research investigates how laminated timber can be used to adaptively re-use industrial heritage buildings. Adaptive re-use allows a new programme to occur within an existing heritage site, while simultaneously acknowledging its significance. This research produces a set of design guidelines and strategies that can be used to inform future projects.  Laminated timber is typically used in the construction of new buildings and is becoming an increasingly popular choice of material due to recent technological developments and its sustainable profile. This design research explores the use of laminated timber within the adaptive re-use of industrial heritage buildings as an alternative to typical strengthening materials, such as steel and concrete.  The ruins of the Tokomaru Bay Freezing Works is used as a design case study to explore the research question. Located 90km north of Gisborne, Tokomaru Bay is a typical example of the boom and bust experienced in the primary industries of provincial New Zealand during the 20th century. Constructed from Unreinforced Masonry (U.R.M), the freezing works opened in 1910 and initially brought prosperity and development to the region. After the factory’s closure in 1952, the freezing works was abandoned and quickly fell into disrepair and the Tokomaru Bay community sharply declined. This design case study aims to explore the contribution of laminated timber within the adaptive re-use of U.R.M in the context of a mānuka honey factory and garden nursery, within the ruins of the Tokomaru Bay Freezing Works.  Using strategies identified throughout the design research, this case study shows the beneficial relationship that can be achieved between the use of new (laminated timber) and existing heritage fabric (U.R.M) that is compatible with economic revitalisation of small town New Zealand. While acknowledging the limitations of laminated timber, this research identifies five design criteria; architectural character, structure, heritage significance, envelope and program, to assess the success of the design strategies identified.
Narratives of Starting, Using, and Stopping Methamphetamine Use
Authors:   , Dance John
Published: December 2021

Methamphetamine use has come to be seen as a significant policy issue in New Zealand and elsewhere. Panic about methamphetamine’s effects, the increasing prevalence of its use and its alleged potential to cause more harm than other drugs has been fundamental in elevating public concern and initiating a raft of law and order responses. Using the familiar tropes of addiction and drug-induced criminality, authoritative discourses conveying the nature of the ‘meth problem’ have obfuscated the social, cultural and structural forces which intersect decisions about drug use. Instead, explanations of meth-use anchored to behavioural theories about risk have emphasised drug-use is as being the product of individualised cognitive decision making. In taking a narrative approach to analyse 17 drug-users’ stories about starting, using and stopping methamphetamine use, this thesis sets out to theoretically engage with the experiential and contextual nuances of drug-taking decisions which continue to be excluded from authoritative accounts of problematic use. In doing so this thesis reveals how decisions about starting and using methamphetamine had occurred within established trajectories of problematic poly-drug taking behaviour. Collectively, the experiences of starting, using and stopping methamphetamine use storied by this sample of drug users help challenge pejorative constructions of problematic users of drugs as being wilfully self-destructive by highlighting that “risk actions are rarely the product of any one individuals’ rational decisions”(Rhodes: 1997:216).
The Interactional Organisation Of Pain Displays In Medical Consultations
Authors:   , La Jessica
Published: December 2021

Pain is commonly understood as a private experience situated within the individual. However, pain also takes place in the social world, emerging as an interactional event between individuals. The current thesis examined pain displays in interaction and showed how they are sensitive to, and shaped by, the immediate social environment. Discursive psychology and conversation analysis were used as theoretical and methodological frameworks to investigate pain displays as social actions. The empirical data of the study were video recordings of medical consultations between general practitioners and patients. Pain displays within physical examinations were analysed as complex multimodal Gestalts following Mondada (2014b); these are locally constituted from a web of embodied and vocal resources. The first analytic chapter focused on pain displays and the organisation of turns. Participants oriented to pain displays as structural units with an onset, peak, and projectable completion place that organised when and how they built their turns-at-talk. Pain displays were also visible in the progressivity of turns-at-talk, emerging at transition relevant places, suspended and re-initiated with respect to speaker turns. The second analytic chapter showed that pain displays were sequentially organised. Pain displays were oriented to as responsive actions that progressed pain solicitations. However, they did not lead to activity closure, raising questions about the status of pain displays as conditionally relevant next actions. The thesis demonstrated the orderly ways pain displays were coordinated with, and contributed to, the diagnostic work of the ongoing medical interaction. Pain displays were found to be inextricably tied to the interactional environment, a finding supported by other research which has shown internal states like pain and emotion are produced as socially-organised practices. Finally, the thesis contributes to debates within multimodal research, providing support for the utility of talk-focused conversation analytic concepts to describe embodied action. The findings also have practical applications for people seeking medical help for pain.
Made to Measure: Revealing and Measuring a Dynamic Coastal Environment
Authors:   , Leslie Callum James
Published: December 2021

MacLean Park located on the Kapiti Coast has one of the most dynamic natural environments in the country. As tides rise, dunes shrink and grow and rivermouths shift over time, it can be difficult to perceive these environmental changes due to promptly forgotten benchmarks.  Within this thesis, I argue that architecture could provide both a benchmark and datum by which we can begin to understand and register these environmental changes, highlighting a need for architecture’s role to act as a mediator between our natural and urban environment.  The project explores a series of methods and strategies to make this dynamic and shifting environmental condition visible. A rigid and reductive geometry forms a potential answer. This informs a series of experiments which look to uncover how we can visually measure and observe our built and natural environment. A design-led research methodology leads to initial investigations on form and reduction within a chaotic landscape, followed by approaches to register site specific data and historic landmarks.  The final design investigations centre on a holistic coexistence of built form amongst the dunescape, lifting the modular structure on piloti above the delicate ecosystem below to allow the landscape, dunes and flora to flow freely in a temporal manner and interact with the building. The resulting design method shifts from a reductive approach to taking measure through ordering systems and composition to a more integrated approach between landscape and architecture. Here, measurement and observation become both an instrumental and poetic narrative as the building becomes a reflection of its surrounds.  The resulting tension between a rational and poetic approach to designing sees the Kapiti Island Biosecurity Visitor’s Centre become a measurement device on a coastal threshold. Through this architectural response, we can begin to observe, measure, read and understand the ecological qualities of the immediate site and its association with the township beyond.
