Long-Wellesley & Publicity: The Role of Celebrity in the Public Sphere (1788-1832)
Creators: name: Roberts, Gregory
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores the relationship between celebrity and the public-sphere through a case study of the life of William Long-Wellesley (1788-1857). A junior member of the powerful and well-connected Wellesley family, Long-Wellesley married into the largest fortune in Regency Britain, became a Tory MP and enjoyed moderate success as an author. But he owed his celebrity status to public curiosity about his rakish and extravagant lifestyle. A study of Long-Wellesley’s celebrity history is important because it enables an investigation into the framework of the public sphere. In the second half of the eighteenth-century a new form of public sphere emerged, partly as a result of the rise of urban intellectual middle-class society in Western Europe, especially in England. It has been argued that the collective engagement of private people, coming together in a ‘public sphere’, resulted in the formulation of ‘public opinion’ for the purpose of acting as a corrective authority to the state. The general scholarly consensus has therefore argued that public opinion belongs to the political sphere. This thesis sets out to challenge that premise, and the assumptions that underpin it, by demonstrating that public opinion was more culturally derived, and found its inspiration in publicity. The parameters of the public sphere in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century were more broadly defined than the traditional political focus suggests. Instead, it will be established that audiences were stimulated through a wide variety of sources, including spectacle, novelty, and celebrity. This thesis aims to re-position celebrity in the public sphere, showing how it impacted upon public opinion. It focuses on the life of Long-Wellesley because he offers many examples of how celebrity was represented in Britain during the Regency period. His decision to create and distribute his own sensational narrative makes Long-Wellesley a worthy case study; not least because he was the chief purveyor of, rather than a helpless victim of, malicious rumour and gossip. He is a prime example of how non-political spectacle influenced public opinion and helped to change the moral climate.

WRITING UTOPIA NOW: Utopian Poetics In The Work Of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha
Creators: name: Willow, Sally-shakti
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2020

description: This thesis examines Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s DICTEE (1982), Audience Distant Relative (1977) and Reveillé dans la Brume (Awakened in the Mist) (1977). The premise of the thesis is an exploration of the various ways in which these works both perform and gesture toward the possibility of a ‘utopian’ experience of nonalienation. In Cha’s vocabulary, this takes the form of ‘interfusion’ and is related to the role of the artist as alchemist. Cha employs formal and linguistic innovations in her text, mail art and performance works to invite active participation from her readers and audience in a gesture toward embodied intersubjectivity. Her grappling with the challenges relating to the articulation of subjectivity place her work at the centre of contemporary critical debates around subjectivity and innovative poetics. In particular, recent scholarship on race and the poetic avant-garde has called for cross-disciplinary approaches to reading DICTEE as a text that explores the intersections of subjectivity and its performance in contemporary innovative poetics. Developing a theory of Utopian Poetics from my reading of Ernst Bloch’s utopian philosophy, I explore the ways in which DICTEE and Cha’s other works perform a yearning for non-alienated subjectivity that remains necessarily open and incomplete. My reading of DICTEE, in particular, is primarily informed by my own practices of yoga and meditation, and these practices form the basis of both my scholarly and creative engagements with this research. This scholarly thesis comprises Part 1 of a two-part submission. Part 2 comprises my own creative experiments with UtopianPoetics.

description: PURPOSE: To compare two techniques for eliciting and clarifying patient values for decision making about colorectal cancer (CRC) screening: choice-based conjoint analysis and a rating and ranking task.

METHODS: Using our decision lab registry and university e-mail lists, we recruited average risk adults ages 48-75 for a written, mailed survey. Eligible participants were given basic information about CRC screening and six attributes of CRC screening tests, then randomized to complete either a choice-based conjoint analysis with 16 discrete choice tasks or a rating and ranking task. The main outcome was the most important attribute, as determined from conjoint analysis or participant ranking. Conjoint analysis-based most important attribute was determined from individual patient-level utilities generated using multinomial logistic regression and hierarchical Bayesian modeling.

RESULTS: Of the 114 eligible participants, 104 completed and returned questionnaires. Mean age was 57 (range 48-73), 70% were female, 88% were white, 71% were college graduates, and 62% were up to date with CRC screening. Ability to reduce CRC incidence and mortality was the most frequent most important attribute for both the conjoint analysis (56% of respondents) and rating/ranking (76% of respondents) groups, and these proportions differed significantly between groups (absolute difference 20%, 95% CI 3%, 37%, p =0.03). There were no significant differences between groups in proportion with clear values (p = 0.352), intent to be screened (p = 0.226) or unlabelled test preference (p = 0.521)

CONCLUSIONS: Choice-based conjoint analysis produced somewhat different patterns of attribute importance than a rating and ranking task, but had little effect on other outcomes.

description: The United States has been singularly unsuccessful at controlling health care spending. During the past four decades, American policymakers and analysts have embraced an ever changing array of panaceas to control costs, including managed care, consumer-directed health care, and most recently, delivery system reform and value-based purchasing. Past panaceas have gone through a cycle of excessive hope followed by disappointment at their failure to rein in medical care spending. We argue that accountable care organizations, medical homes, and similar ideas in vogue today could repeat this pattern. We explain why the United States persistently pursues health policy fads--despite their poor record--and how the promotion of panaceas obscures critical debate about controlling health care costs. Americans spend too much time on the quest for the "holy grail"--a reform that will decisively curtail spending while simultaneously improving quality of care--and too little time learning from the experiences of others. Reliable cost control does not, contrary to conventional wisdom, require fundamental delivery system reform or an end to fee-for-service payment. It does require the U.S. to emulate the lessons of other nations that have been more successful at limiting spending through budgeting, system wide fee schedules, and concentrated purchasing.

description: Mit der immer größer werdenden Abhängigkeit von der Nutzung des Webs – sei es mittels Smartphones, Tablets oder Laptops – steigt folglich auch die Bedeutsamkeit von Web-Applikationen immer mehr an. Aufgrund dieser steigenden Popularität vervielfachte sich parallel zu dieser Entwicklung auch die Anzahl an Frameworks für diverse Programmiersprachen, welche im Zusammenhang mit Web-Applikationen genutzt werden. Um das passende Framework zu finden, gibt es kritische und objektive Kriterien wie Sicherheit, Wartbarkeit, Performance oder „Time to Market“, die ebenso zu beachten sind wie die Zukunftssicherheit und die Modernität der gewählten Frameworks. Durch die Vielzahl an unterschiedlichen Frameworks wird es immer komplexer, schwieriger sowie zeitintensiver, die richtige Wahl zu treffen. Um diese Wahl zu vereinfachen, werden in dieser Arbeit Technologien aus den einzelnen Layern miteinander kombiniert, evaluiert und auf deren Zusammenspiel hin untersucht und bewertet. Weiters wird es zu einer Verbindung zwischen Theorie und Praxis kommen, indem in diesem Arbeitsschritt die im Theorieteil gewonnen Evaluierungskriterien herangezogen und mit der Praxis in Verbindung gesetzt werden.
description: As the dependency regarding the usage of the web is constantly growing – be it with smartphones, tablets or laptops – the significance of web applications is also increasing steadily. Due to this rising popularity, the amount of frameworks of various programming languages, which can be used within the context of web applications, are also multiplying at the same time. In order to find the most suitable framework, critical and objective criteria such as security, maintainability, performance or “time to market” as well as the long-term iii availability and the modernity of the frameworks should be observed in this thesis. Due to the vast number of various frameworks it has become more and more complex and time-consuming to make the right decision. To simplify the choice, technologies from different layers will be combined, evaluated as well as examined and rated with reference to their interaction. During this phase, the previously evaluated criteria from the theoretical part will be used in order to assess the usability of these combined frameworks.

description: Optical frequency combs represent a revolutionary technology for high precision spectroscopy due to their narrow linewidths and precise frequency spacing. Generation of such combs in the mid-infrared (IR) spectral region (2-20 um) is of great interest due to the presence of a large number of gas absorption lines in this wavelength regime. Recently, frequency combs have been demonstrated in the MIR in several platforms, including fiber combs, mode-locked lasers, optical parametric oscillators, and quantum cascade lasers. However, these platforms are either relatively bulky or challenging to integrate on-chip. An alternative approach using parametric mixing in microresonators is highly promising since the platform is extremely compact and can operate with relatively low powers. However, material and dispersion engineering limitations have prevented the realization of a microresonator comb source past 2.55 um. Although silicon could in principle provide a CMOS compatible platform for on-chip comb generation deep into the mid-IR, to date, silicon's linear and nonlinear losses have prevented the realization of a microresonator-based comb source. Here we overcome these limitations and realize a broadband frequency comb spanning from 2.1 um to 3.5 um and demonstrate its viability as a spectroscopic sensing platform. Such a platform is compact and robust and offers the potential to be versatile and durable for use outside the laboratory environment for applications such as real-time monitoring of atmospheric gas conditions.

description: BACKGROUND: Many patients nationwide change their primary care physician (PCP) when internal medicine (IM) residents graduate. Few studies have examined this handoff.

OBJECTIVE: To assess patient outcomes and resident perspectives after the year-end continuity clinic handoff

DESIGN: Retrospective cohort

PARTICIPANTS: Patients who underwent a year-end clinic handoff in July 2010 and a comparison group of all other resident clinic patients from 2009-2011. PGY2 IM residents surveyed from 2010-2011.

MEASUREMENTS: Percent of high-risk patients after the clinic handoff scheduled for an appointment, who saw their assigned PCP, lost to follow-up, or had an acute visit (ED or hospitalization). Perceptions of PGY2 IM residents surveyed after receiving a clinic handoff.

RESULTS: Thirty graduating residents identified 258 high-risk patients. While nearly all patients (97 %) were scheduled, 29 % missed or cancelled their first new PCP visit. Only 44 % of patients saw the correct PCP and six months later, one-fifth were lost to follow-up. Patients not seen by a new PCP after the handoff were less likely to have appropriate follow-up for pending tests (0 % vs. 63 %, P<0.001). A higher mean no show rate (NSR) was observed among patients who missed their first new PCP visit (22 % vs. 16 % NSR, p<0.001) and those lost to follow-up (21 % vs. 17 % NSR, p=0.019). While 47 % of residents worried about missing important data during the handoff, 47 % reported that they do not perceive patients as "theirs" until they are seen by them in clinic.

CONCLUSIONS: While most patients were scheduled for appointments after a clinic handoff, many did not see the correct resident and one-fifth were lost to follow-up. Patients who miss appointments are especially at risk of poor clinic handoff outcomes. Future efforts should improve patient attendance to their first new PCP visit and increase PCP ownership.

Generalized stacking fault calculations reveal a metastable stacking fault in the first order pyramidal {10-11} plane, which corresponds to an elementary pyramidal twin. This fault is at the origin of a metastable configuration of the screw dislocation in zirconium, which spontaneously appears when the dislocation glides in the pyramidal plane.

The role of causation, effectuation and bricolage in new service development processes
Creators: name: Lassila, Sirpa
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2020

description: This thesis examines the role of different types of entrepreneurial cognitive logics—namely causation, effectuation, and bricolage (CEB)—in new service development (NSD) processes within a new venture. To understand how entrepreneurial cognitive logics are used in the NSD process, I adopt a process research approach to study how service comes to be within a new venture in the healthcare industry. My research employs a range of methods between 2013 and 2017, including observation, interviews, and document analysis. Within current NSD models, means are not considered as part of processes which lead to new services; instead, the NSD process is assumed to start with a conscious intent to create a new service. My research has identified that NSD processes are often means driven and that the service developers ask themselves means-driven questions considered to represent effectuation logic. Hence, I shift the attention of NSD research from stable and resource-rich environments to dynamic and resource-constrained ones. As a result, I suggest that effectuation and bricolage are key perspectives in understanding NSD in uncertain and resource-scarce environments. In doing so, I challenge the predominantly causation-based formal and linear NSD stage model typically proposed in existing research. The findings show how CEB logics interplay and shift in a complex manner over time. Situational triggers, resource position, and unanticipated consequences, along with actor-dependent responses to internal and external influences, add to the complexity of how CEB logics interplay and shift over time. Furthermore, researching CEB logics on individual, team, and organisational levels reveals that the different logics may also cause conflict, thus leading not only to positive outcomes but also to frustration and tensions within the new venture.

The Tavis-Cummings model describes the interaction between a bosonic degree of freedom and a collective spin. In an ion trap, the collective spin system is a symmetrised state of the internal electronic states of N ions, while the bosonic system is the vibrational degree of freedom of the centre of mass mode for the ions.

description: BACKGROUND: Rising colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates in the last decade are attributable almost entirely to increased colonoscopy use. Little is known about factors driving the increase, but primary care physicians (PCPs) play a central role in CRC screening delivery.

OBJECTIVE: Explore PCP attitudes toward screening colonoscopy and their associations with CRC screening practice patterns.

DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of data from a nationally representative survey conducted in 2006-2007.

PARTICIPANTS: 1,266 family physicians, general practitioners, general internists, and obstetrician-gynecologists.

MAIN MEASURES: Physician-reported changes in the volume of screening tests ordered, performed or supervised in the past 3 years, attitudes toward colonoscopy, the influence of evidence and perceived norms on their recommendations, challenges to screening, and practice characteristics.

RESULTS: The cooperation rate (excludes physicians without valid contact information) was 75%; 28% reported their volume of FOBT ordering had increased substantially or somewhat, and the majority (53%) reported their sigmoidoscopy volume decreased either substantially or somewhat. A majority (73%) reported that colonoscopy volume increased somewhat or substantially. The majority (86%) strongly agreed that colonoscopy was the best of the available CRC screening tests; 69% thought it was readily available for their patients; 59% strongly or somewhat agreed that they might be sued if they did not offer colonoscopy to their patients. All three attitudes were significantly related to substantial increases in colonoscopy ordering.

CONCLUSIONS: PCPs report greatly increased colonoscopy recommendation relative to other screening tests, and highly favorable attitudes about colonoscopy. Greater emphasis is needed on informed decision-making with patients about preferences for test options.

description: Das Ziel dieser Masterarbeit ist es, das Grundkonzept eines Smart Homes anhand eines konkreten Beispiels zu erstellen und das ganze System auf einem Raspberry Pi zu implementieren. Ein Smart Home kann basierend auf mehreren Kommunikationsprotokollen erstellt werden. Die Masterarbeit hat gezeigt, dass ZigBee, welches im Jahr 2002 entwickelt wurde, eines der geeignetsten Kommunikationsprotokolle für Smart Homes ist. Ein ZigBee-Netzwerk erfordert die Verwendung eines zentralen Koordinators zur Steuerung des gesamten Netzwerks. Eine der Einschränkungen eines ZigBee-Netzwerks besteht darin, dass jedes Gerät nur mit dem von dem Hersteller unterstützten Koordinator arbeiten kann. Mit dem CC2531 USB-Stick und der Software Zigbee2MQTT, die von Texas Instruments entwickelt wurde, kann ein eigener Koordinator erstellt werden, mit welchem jedes Gerät, welches von der Software unterstützt wird, verbunden werden kann. Die Verwaltung eines Smart Homes ist über Hausautomationsplattformen möglich. Das Projekt der Masterarbeit konzentriert sich auf die zwei Plattformen, Domoticz und Home Assistant, die von der Zigbee2MQTT-Software unterstützt werden. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden der Installationsprozess beider Plattformen und der Betrieb des Systems am Beispiel von vier ausgewählten ZigBee-Geräten demonstriert.
description: The aim of this master thesis is to create the basic concept of a Smart Home using a specific example and to implement the entire system on a Raspberry Pi. A Smart Home can be created based on several communication protocols. The paper showed that ZigBee, which was developed in 2002, is one of the most suitable communication protocols for Smart Homes. A ZigBee network requires the use of a central coordinator to control the entire network. One of the limitations of a ZigBee network is that each device can only work with the coordinator supported by the manufacturer. With the CC2531 USB stick, which was developed by Texas Instruments, and the software Zigbee2MQTT, you can create your own coordinator, with which any device that is supported by the software can be connected. The management of a Smart Home is possible via home automation platforms. The project of the master thesis focuses on the two platforms, Domoticz and Home Assistant, which are supported by the Zigbee2MQTT software. In this paper the installation process of both platforms and the operation of the system using four selected ZigBee devices are demonstrated.

description: Despite modern technology provide new tools to measure the world around us, we are quickly generating massive amounts of high-dimensional, spatialtemporal data. In this work, I deal with two types of datasets: one in which the spatial characteristics are relatively dynamic and the data are sampled at different periods of time, and the other where many dimensions prevail, although the spatial characteristics are relatively static. The first dataset refers to a peculiar aspect of uncertainty arising from contractual relationships that regulate a project execution: the dispute management. In recent years there has been a growth in size and complexity of the projects managed by public or private organizations. This leads to increased probability of project failures, frequently due to the difficulty and the ability to achieve the objectives such as on-time delivery, cost containment, expected quality achievement. In particular, one of the most common causes of project failure is the very high degree of uncertainty that affects the expected performance of the project, especially when different stakeholders with divergent aims and goals are involved in the project. ..

Hacking Antarctica
Creators: name: Perez, Alejandra
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2020

description: Hacking Antarctica is an investigation focused on rendering aesthetic responses to Antarctica beyond normative representations of the sublime and the imperceptible. It is based on fieldwork in polar and subpolar areas over the last 9 years. At its core, the research uses Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Judgement as a way of understanding what is meant by the sublime and from that develops a practice that examines what a Kantian lack of access to nature implies. This key Kantian concept is explained and devised into art works and then tested through concepts such as translation, transduction, infection and representation, using hacking methodologies informed by bricolage (L ´ evi-Strauss 1968), and diffraction (Barad 2007). The research expands on the taxonomies of the polar to reconsider the Antarctic as a border and periphery, bringing a conjunction of hacking methods and site-specific art that enables a performative causality with which to study the production of site. In other words, a performative approach as Barad and other feminist writers recognize, is questioning the traditional causality of ends and means and observer and observed and rather focuses on processes within discursive practices. Causality is reworked as a local externalization of the intra-acting relations of matter. Within the overall system of research for Antarctica, technical methods used included; Free Libre Open Source software and hardware techniques, black and white and infrared photography, ultraviolet light sensing, sound recordings, hydrophone recordings, very low frequency recordings, AM radio sensing, error in photography (light leakage, displaced focus), in text (cut-up compositions), in video (glitch) and error in bodies as infections; bio-sensing agents (including yeast and lactobacillus), point-array analysis, translation of images to raw data, and from raw data to sound, land art performances, spatialization of sound, stereo panning, quadraphonic sound, interactive embroidery, radio broadcast and installations. Specific outputs include: Antarctica 1961-1986 (2017), an interactive embroidered map of Antarctica showing sites of mineral sources and mineral pollution. The map was installed as an interactive instrument that allowed visitors to participate in the live shaping of the spatialization of sounds recorded in Antarctica. A digital Theremin sensor attached to the map was interfaced with Pure Data software running on a GNU-Linux Debian station. All software was made visible as well as the papers documenting the traces of the plutonium found there. The research through an experimental set of hacking practices supported the hypothesis that Antarctica can be represented outside the sublime through the polar-site produced by hashes of proxies and the diffraction produced when superposing modes of knowing. The interruption of the spectacle to respond to Antarctica is the result.
Effect of Including Cancer Mortality on the Cost-Effectiveness of Aspirin for Primary Prevention in Men

description: BACKGROUND: Recent data suggest that aspirin may be effective for reducing cancer mortality.

OBJECTIVE: To examine whether including a cancer mortality-reducing effect influences which men would benefit from aspirin for primary prevention.

DESIGN: We modified our existing Markov model that examines the effects of aspirin among middle-aged men with no previous history of cardiovascular disease or diabetes. For our base case scenario of 45-year-old men, we examined costs and life-years for men taking aspirin for 10 years compared with men who were not taking aspirin over those 10 years; after 10 years, we equalized treatment and followed the cohort until death. We compared our results depending on whether or not we included a 22 % relative reduction in cancer mortality, based on a recent meta-analysis. We discounted costs and benefits at 3 % and employed a third party payer perspective.

MAIN MEASURE: Cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY) gained.

KEY RESULTS: When no effect on cancer mortality was included, aspirin had a cost per QALY gained of $22,492 at 5 % 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) risk; at 2.5 % risk or below, no treatment was favored. When we included a reduction in cancer mortality, aspirin became cost-effective for men at 2.5 % risk as well (cost per QALY, $43,342). Results were somewhat sensitive to utility of taking aspirin daily; risk of death after myocardial infarction; and effects of aspirin on stroke, myocardial infarction, and sudden death. However, aspirin remained cost-saving or cost-effective (< $50,000 per QALY) in probabilistic analyses (59 % with no cancer effect included; 96 % with cancer effect) for men at 5 % risk.

CONCLUSIONS: Including an effect of aspirin on cancer mortality influences the threshold for prescribing aspirin for primary prevention in men. If such an effect is real, many middle-aged men at low cardiovascular risk would become candidates for regular aspirin use.

description: We investigate symmetry in the vanishing of Ext for finitely generated modules over local Gorenstein rings. In particular, we define a class of local Gorenstein rings, which we call AB rings, and show that for finitely generated modules $M$ and $N$ over an AB ring $R$, $Ext^i_R(M,N)=0$ for all $i >> 0$ if and only if $Ext^i_R(N,M)=0$ for all $i >> 0$.

description: Our criteria for continuous variable quantum teleportation [T.C.Ralph and P.K.Lam, Phys.Rev.Lett. {\bf 81}, 5668 (1998)] take the form of sums, rather than products, of conjugate quadrature measurements of the signal transfer coefficients and the covariances between the input and output states. We discuss why they have this form. We also discuss the physical significance of the covariance inequality.

W czasie wydania tej monografii prawo górnicze było w istotnym stopniu zunifikowane na poziomie ogólnokrajowym, ze względu na wydanie rozporządzenia Prezydenta Rzeczypospolitej z dnia 29 listopada 1930 r. – Prawo górnicze. Regulacje przejęte z ustawodawstw państw zaborczych wciąż obowiązywały jednak w obszarze prawa naftowego.

description: BACKGROUND: Typically, chronic disease self-management happens in a family context, and for African American adults living with diabetes, family seems to matter in self-management processes. Many qualitative studies describe family diabetes interactions from the perspective of adults living with diabetes, but we have not heard from family members.

OBJECTIVE: To explore patient and family perspectives on family interactions around diabetes.

DESIGN: Qualitative study using focus group methodology.                                PARTICIPANTS & APPROACH:                  We conducted eight audiotaped focus groups among African Americans (four with patients with diabetes and four with family members not diagnosed with diabetes), with a focus on topics of family communication, conflict, and support. The digital files were transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed using qualitative data analysis software. Directed content analysis and grounded theory approaches guided the interpretation of code summaries.

RESULTS: Focus groups included 67 participants (81 % female, mean age 64 years). Family members primarily included spouses, siblings, and adult children/grandchildren. For patients with diabetes, central issues included shifting family roles to accommodate diabetes and conflicts stemming from family advice-giving. Family members described discomfort with the perceived need to police or "stand over" the diabetic family member, not wanting to "throw diabetes in their [relative's] face," perceiving their communications as unhelpful, and confusion about their role in diabetes care. These concepts generated an emergent theme of "family diabetes silence."

CONCLUSION: Diabetes silence, role adjustments, and conflict appear to be important aspects to address in family-centered diabetes self-management interventions. Contextual data gathered through formative research can inform such family-centered intervention development.

description: Compton scattering of short and ultra short (sub-cycle) laser pulses off mildly relativistic electrons is considered within a QED framework. The temporal shape of the pulse is essential for the differential cross section as a function of the energy of the scattered photon at fixed observation angle. The partly integrated cross section is sensitive to the non-linear dynamics resulting in a large enhancement of the cross section for short and, in particular, for ultra-short flat-top pulse envelopes which can reach several orders of magnitude, as compared with the case of a long pulse. Such effects can be studied experimentally and must be taken into account in Monte-Carlo/transport simulations of %$e^+e^-$ pair production in the interaction of electrons and photons in a strong laser field.

Amid the debris: ruins of underdevelopment in contemporary Brazilian documentary
Creators: name: Carrera Campos Leal, Guilherme
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2020

description: This thesis defines an aesthetics of ruins in contemporary Brazilian documentary. It examines strategies of spatial representation employed by present-day documentary-makers and places their films into three groups. The first focuses on the federal capital, Brasília (The Age of Stone (2013) and White Out, Black In (2014)); the second investigates the former federal capital, Rio de Janeiro (ExPerimetral (2016), The Harbour (2013), Tropical Curse (2016), and HU Enigma (2011)); and the third explores Native territories (Corumbiara: They Shoot Indians, Don’t They? (2009), Tava, The House of Stone (2012), Two Villages, One Path (2008), and Guarani Exile (2011)). In portraying ruinscapes in different ways, the thesis argues that these unconventional films articulate critiques of the notions of progress and (under)development in the Brazilian nation. It addresses this body of contemporary films in relation to the legacies of Cinema Novo, Tropicália and Cinema Marginal, asking how the present-day films dialogue with or depart from this precedent. In exploring this dialogue, the selected films challenge not only documentary-making conventions but also the country’s official narrative. In this regard, the thesis argues that the ruins of Brazil are the ruins of underdevelopment, as framed by this particular body of films.
