Abstract

Despite the ubiquitous presence of photographic humor in art and popular media, the phenomenon has as yet received very little scholarly attention. Focusing on staged humor rather than on comic effects of snapshot photography, this volume brings together leading scholars in the field addressing humor performed in front of the camera, often specifically created for the camera, and the performative joke-work done by the medium itself. A first section explores how photography, due to its "shattering" qualities, turns into a privileged medium for eliciting humorous effects and how humor can be discerned within the photographic event. A second section discusses the toolbox of photographic trickery (photomontage, double exposure and cinematic movement) that allows photography to mock itself. The book closes with a section on photographic wit in conceptual art, both in canonized and more locally distinct practices.

Abstract

The notion of the minor, developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in 'Kafka, towards a minor literature' (1975), is introduced and connected applied here for the very first time to the field of photography theory. Deleuze and Guattari defined minor literature in terms of "deterritorialization", "politicization" and "collectivization". By transferring 'the minor' to the medium of photography, this book enlarges the idea of 'the minor' and opens it up to all kinds of mutations in the process. The essays gathered in this book discuss the ways in which photography can make the dominant codes of representation stammer and how it can produce new effects and address people yet to come. The authors consider 'the minor' as a valuable tool to help photography research move beyond, or in between, binary and hierarchized ways of thinking (of high and low art, for example, or centre and periphery). As such, it aims to contribute to a rethinking of photography as multiplicity and variation.

Abstract

Gedurende drie semesters werkten docenten en studenten fotografie (o.l.v. Geert Goiris) aan een uniek project : het maken van originele illustraties bij een bestaande theoretische tekst over fotografie, de befaamde studie : Philosophie de la photographie van Henri Van Lier. Dit cahier van het IvOK beschrijft de zoektocht van de jonge kunstenaars naar de ideale artistieke vertaling van de abstracte theoretische inzichten van Van Lier en de bijzondere dialoog tussen woord en beeld die op deze manier tot stand kwam.

Abstract

Fashion photography often leaves the impression of being a volatile medium. It is after all a representation of 'fashion', a phenomenon that completely changes every season. However, fashion photography also acts as a powerful medium that is able to integrate universal concepts. From the end of the twentieth century onwards, the fashion object no longer occupies the central position. The cultural significance of fashion photography can not be overstated. The categorization between 'high' art photography on the one hand, and 'low' fashion photography on the other, can no longer strictly be applied. This blurring of boundaries is a central issue in the work of Viviane Sassen (Amsterdam, 1972).This master thesis begins by providing a theoretical framework and a historical context in which the most crucial developments in fashion photography are discussed. Photographers featured are Diane Arbus, Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman and Corinne Day. This overview shows that, as early as the sixties, there is a dominating trend that tries to minimalize the distinctions between the genres. Sassen radicalizes this dichotomy by making no differentiation between her commercial and her free work, both in its presentation context as in its visual strategies. As such, Sassen presents her work in the ephemeral medium of the magazine as well as in the slow and more critical context of the book and the exhibition space. Also in terms of imagery, there is only a negligible difference between the genres. In Sassens work, three different visual strategies can be identified: the absence of the face, body as sculpture and colored skin. Although these elements return on a regular basis, the images can not be read in an unambiguous manner. Sassen deliberately leaves her viewers in limbo and questions rather than provide answers. She takes in other words, neither art nor fashion as objective and enters with her work an intermediate zone. Viviane Sassen operates 'in between' art and fashion photogr...

Abstract

This master thesis is about the literary and/or cultural values that song lyrics of singer-songwriters possibly contain. Firstly, a longstanding discussion about the topic has been clarified. For this purpose, a number of authors with very differing viewpoints about the similarities and differences between song lyrics and poems were discussed. The dominant question was whether or not those both art forms can and should be compared. Secondly, a few articles about the characteristics of song lyrics were cited. This was done because a better understanding of song lyrics is required when you want to make a statement about their inherent value. But all these articles, books and studies didn't provide sufficient clarity. That's why this study adds the thoughts, insights and opinions of singer-songwriters themselves. They know better how a song lyric is written and therefore what specific characteristics one should take into consideration. This approach was rather new but proved justified. The interviews, with nine Flemish musicians, provided some interesting insights. The artists mostly agreed with the group of authors that suggested that song lyrics are very different from poetry and that it isn't advisable to make comparisons. This doesn't mean, however, that lyrics do not have some value within the artistic field. They are an important factor of the music of singer-songwriters. Different reason were given from which we can conclude that good song lyrics have great qualities and great cultural value. It is somewhat less clear if they also have great literary value (it depends on your definition of literature), but there are certainly examples of singer-songwriters that are great writers in the traditional meaning of the word. Although they were most often referred to as exceptions.
