ANALYZING COLLAGE AS A COMMUNICATION ACT IN THE DIGITAL AGE BASED ON THE DADAISM RENEWAL MOVEMENT'S SPIRIT

Collage combines the semiotic tradition of Roland Barthes, the phenomenological tradition of Edmund Husserl, the critical tradition of Karl Marx, and the point of view of Jurgen Habermas in visual communication. The collage technique creates trans-aesthetic elements and double codes, a Dadaist method of encoding signs. Building on previous research, this study explores collage art as a communication act and its process in the digital era. Digital photography technology and computer software facilitate quicker and easier creation of collage art, emphasizing the fundamental concept of "paste." This pasting-sticking process mirrors the communication process of art and design in the digital era, illustrating cyclical communication capable of transcending space and time. The research has several conclusions. (1) By enhancing visual communication strategies and efficiency based on the spirit of the Dadaism renewal movement, unique collages can be created as a personal sign of message(s). (2) Collages as communication act in the digital era represent dialogue in trans-aesthetics code. (3) On the other hand, with the spirit of Dadaism that contains a free mind, open creation, and emphasis on social-cultural issues, collages as a communication process are also possible to frame messages and create fallacy.

Digital Collage Design Through The Concept of Linear Time in The Documentary Film "Nasida Ria: Sun Stage" (2023) by Wisnu Candra

Not only recording reality, the form of documentary films today has undergone significant development. One of the drivers of development is the digital phenomenon. Digitalization is not an impact, but a phenomenon that must be adapted as best as possible and addressed as wisely as possible. The purpose of this development is to provide innovation in the form of documentary films that are more innovative and creative. Qualitative method is used as the epistemology of data collection through research to validate the truth of the subject. Meanwhile, the principle of cross-disciplinary collaboration between film directors and digital collage artists is used as a foundation to produce a visual identity for the film to be more innovative and creative. As a result, the short film "Nasida Ria: Sun Stage" is not only a film that records the history of Nasida Ria, but also a contribution to the evolution of the documentary film form. Through an archive of texts, photos and videos arranged using digital collage techniques and moved linearly.

Die Literaturautonomie im deutschen Rechtssystem. Grenzen, Widersprüche und literaturtheoretische Potenziale

Abstract So far, the question regarding literature’s autonomy has predominantly been discussed from a poetological and historical perspective, with legal manifestations and possibilities of aesthetic autonomy usually being neglected by literary theory. However, in no other area than in (German) jurisprudence it becomes more evident that the concept of an autonomous literary practice, or more precisely the attempt to guarantee it legally, is highly challenging and therefore comes with restrictions. On the one hand, literary practice is legally regarded as a free and autonomous social subsystem. On the other hand, it can easily lead to violations of fundamental rights, meaning that the freedom of art cannot be considered unrestricted and autonomous on a closer look. In the following, the legal challenges of guaranteeing an unregulated literary practice will be discussed based on two fundamental legal rights, namely the freedom of art and copyright laws. The discussion proves to be significant for literary studies as well, as the legal tensions that are connected to the concept of literary autonomy have an influence on the practice of literature and thus also affect its theoretical reflection in literary studies and criticism. Because autonomy can mean several things, it is necessary to define the term ›autonomy‹ as used in this article first. After clarifying the concept of autonomy for the literary context, the focus lies on the legal discourse: The legal regulations in Germany regarding freedom of art and copyrights are first presented individually. Following this, the respective difficulties in guaranteeing the aforementioned legal rights are explained. A closer look will reveal that collisions are unavoidable, and that freedom of art and copyright laws sometimes even happen to be mutually exclusive. The challenges of literature’s autonomy in legal terms becomes particularly apparent by presenting the following two potential conflicts: The first conflict concerns collisions between freedom of art and a legal right of constitutionally similarly high rank, such as personal rights. The second potential conflict demonstrates why the freedom of art can hardly ever be reconciled with copyright provisions. The first case illustrates that the freedom of literary practice sometimes collides with other legal interests and can therefore be restricted, while the second one proves that a self-contradiction within the legal system exists when it comes to the notion of unrestricted autonomy. The first conflict is discussed by revisiting the decision of the German Federal Constitutional Court regarding Maxim Biller’s novel Esra in 2007. The decision, albeit highly controversial, helps to understand why legal barriers are sometimes imposed on works of literature. Additionally, the Esra case shows the legal difficulties of enforcing a ban on novels without fundamentally calling into question the freedom of art. This is also demonstrated by the votes of the dissenting judges at the Federal Constitutional Court which further illustrate the irresolvable challenge between guaranteeing not to impose any legal restrictions on the practice of art, but sometimes doing so whenever the freedom of art collides with personal rights. As a second example, the potential conflict that can arise when using the technique of literary collage or any other that involves adopting elements of existing literary or non-literary texts is discussed. Such a case is even more likely to result in a legal dilemma as there generally is a tension between freedom of art and copyright laws: although copyright laws can be subsumed under freedom of art and even serve as supportive of it, insofar as they aim at protecting the author as the intellectual owner of a work, they are not always beneficial to the freedom of art. This is best exemplified by the aesthetic technique of literary collage, for which the implementation of elements from other texts and media is characteristic and thus might easily conflict with copyright provisions. The example of literary collage demonstrates that without legal regulations some aesthetic practices might run the risk of infringing the respective copyrights as soon as an existing work of art is utilized partially for a new one. This article concludes that the notion of literary autonomy shows to be self-contradictory when discussed from a legal perspective. This observation is not irrelevant for literary theory, insofar as literary autonomy, understood as an unregulated literary practice, thwarts its promise of freedom. As this article argues, the idea of literary autonomy therefore needs revision in literary studies, not least because of its challenging legal dimension.

The Technical Dimension of the Works of Artists Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns

The research entitled (The Technical Dimension of the Works of Artists Rauschenberg and Jasper Jones) dealt with the nature of the concept of technology and the mechanisms of its operation in plastic art, The research come in four chapters. The first chapter: The methodological framework of the research, in which the research problem was presented, the importance of research and the need for it, and the goal and limits of the research. As for the second chapter; The theoretical framework, it contained two sections, The first section focused on technology, its concept and its transformations in the history of art, The second section dealt with (the experience of Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns). The third chapter was concerned with research procedures, where the researcher presented the method used, and the research tool, community, and sample of (3) are a model. As for the fourth chapter, it included the results, conclusions, proposals, and recommendations, and the most important of these results reached by the researcher are: 1- Robert Rauschenberg and Jasper Johns used the collage technique (mixed medium), where the artist created multiple processes between gluing, composition, and color painting, thus presenting mutually reinforcing techniques within one visual field. 2- Most postmodern artists invested in disparate ready – made objects to develop them through color, collage, composition, printmaking, photography, and other techniques, as in models (1,2,3).

So it can be concluded that the demonstration method affects the ability to create fine art, collage techniques in children with intellectual disabilities.

Semantics of Louis Durey’s vocal-instrumental cycle “Songs on Saint Léger Léger’s poems” (“Images à Crusoé”)

Statement of the problem. The article aims to investigate the semantics of the vocal-instrumental cycle “Songs on Saint Léger Léger’s poems” by Louis Edmond Durey (1888–1979), one of the representatives of the French “Group of Six”. This composition, which also has another name – “Images à Crusoé”, written in 1918, belongs to the period of formation of French modernism. The primary literary source, the poem of the same name by Alexis Saint Léger Léger, better known under the pseudonym Saint John Perce, has certain features of surrealistic aesthetics, which also influenced the musical dramaturgy of the cycle. Objectives, methods, and novelty of the research. Until today, this composition by Louis Durey has not been considered in domestic musicology, therefore, the task of the study is to describe the figurative sphere of the work, to identify its main intonation-semantic constructions and, ultimately, a more thorough explore of the individual style of the composer. The research was carried out using historical-contextual, comparative, and systemanalytical methods. Results and conclusion. According to his results, it was established that Louis Durey embodied not so much the content of Saint John Perce’s poetic stanzas as his personal attitude to his poetic images and metaphors. The composer operates with a whole semantic system of leit-intonemas and through- genre models (polka, lullaby, chorale, hymn) and builds semantic arches between numbers of the cycle. Cross-cutting musical and semantic elements also become components of arch dramaturgy: intonations of circles, “spindles”, bells, sighs, and the instrumental texture of all numbers of the cycle contains quarto-quint steps. Pentatonic, whole-tone and natural scales contribute to the reproduction of the atmosphere of the exotic nature of the deserted island, as well as the sound imaging techniques used by Durey. The dramaturgy of the cycle is built according to the montage principle, which is mostly subordinated to the type of verse and the semantic content of Saint John Perce’s poetry. Division of the musical form is carried out by changing the size, tempo, genre style. Thus, each number of the cycle consists of short sections connected to each other thanks to the collage technique. The rhythmic and thematic variety in the collage of episodes“frames” indicates the presence of game logic in L. Durey’s cycle. Certain influences on the music of the cycle of illustrations for Daniel Defoe’s novel “Robinson Crusoe”, created in the second half of the 19th century by Carl Offendinger, in perspective, allow us to consider the work in the context of the problem of the synthesis of arts as of a component of modernistic aesthetics.

The Aesthetical Possibilities of Waste: Collage, Bricoleurs, and Environmental Debate in Inger and Lasse Sandberg’s 1960s Picturebooks
 This article examines the picturebooks Lilla spöket Laban (The Little Ghost Laban, 1965), Vad lilla Anna sparade på (What Little Anna Saved, 1965), Pojken med de många husen (The Boy with the Many Houses, 1968) and Filurstjärnan (The Filur Star, 1969) by Inger and Lasse Sandberg from a waste-oriented perspective. The theoretical framework originates from waste studies, a growing field of cultural analysis that focuses on trash, decay, and toxic sites. The article argues that the Sandbergs’ works can be read as a critique of life in the Wasteocene, an era marked by waste production, overconsumption, and environmental degradation. During the 1960s and 1970s, Inger and Lasse Sandberg develop a waste aesthetics that challenge the Wasteocene logic by foregrounding leftover pieces and imperfect objects. Firstly, the article presents an analysis of the collage technique in Sandbergs’ works, mainly in Lilla spöket Laban. Secondly, it examines the bricoleur motif in Vad lilla Anna sparade på and Pojken med de många husen. Finally, the environmental theme in Filurstjärnan is explored. The article concludes that Inger and Lasse Sandberg’s picturebooks highlight and transcend the Wasteocene logic in terms of both form and content. The waste aesthetics and environmental motifs challenge the dualistic narrative of the capitalist system by questioning the hierarchical division between commodity and trash, the beautiful and the ugly, the amateur and the professional. The picturebooks can thus be read as counter-narratives advocating an alternative view of value and beauty.

The Technique of Poetic Collage in the Selected Poems of New York school poets

The word 'collage' simply means pasting unrelated things together to form artistic objects of sorts. It began first to be used by the painters and artists in general to produce a kind of art suitable to the prevalent avant-garde movement in art and literature. T.S. Eliot's The Wasteland and Ezra Pound's The Cantos are two master examples of the use of collage in the early modernist poetry. The purpose of this paper is to examine the use of collage by the poets New York School in selected poems as exemplified in the major poets of the school, namely John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara and Kenneth Koch. The paper argues that the poets of the New York school have been influenced heavily by the prevalent art movements specially the Abstract Expressionism. They imitated the Abstract Expressionists in their rejection of figurative subject matter and their working completely in the abstract. Their resort to such art as collage is to challenge the conventional ideas about art.

Meme-ifying Data

This article argues for the importance of the memetic tactic of bricolage within contemporary social media science communication for its capacity to curate and distill approachable, accessible, and shareable Covid-19 content. We suggest that the social media communication practices of what we call ‘public health influencers’ (PHIs) on Instagram, Tik Tok, and Twitter make use of memetic bricolage techniques of stop motion, collage, infographics, and placarding, coupled with an ethos of ‘micro-celebrity,’ in order to advance stalled public conversations and to reorient the spread of disinformation back to evidence-based facts. To make this argument, we analyze the cross-platform social media work of three key PHIs during the pediatric vaccination campaigns of late 2021 within our local context of Ontario, Canada to reflect on the effectiveness of social media presence, communication, and advocacy. Through memetic tactics, we argue that PHIs’ efforts to engage the public are driven by a larger impulse to combat health inequities that are exacerbated by the different forms of disinformation circulating on social media. Ultimately, this article illustrates how the concerted effort against disinformation by PHIs on social media via memes contributes to advocacy for more accessible, just, and equitable health care for Ontarians.

Imag(in)ing Bairam

Abstract The fifth volume of the Cérémonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde (1723–1737) by Bernard Picart and Jean Frederic Bernard played a significant role in shaping the perception of Islam in the early 18th-century Dutch Republic and Europe. Kishwar Rizvi has argued that it challenged stereotypes by introducing novel comparative perspectives between Western traditions and Islamic rituals. However, previous research has overlooked a remarkable illustration in the volume depicting the Bairam festival. By examining the editors’ and engravers’ use of collage technique, we can appreciate how their portrayal of the Bairam festivities deviated from earlier depictions of the same feast. They employed a proto-ethnographic approach alongside other interpretational and imaginative strategies. The multitude of images within the Cérémonies not only constructed a collective perception of Islam but also facilitated a more affective engagement with Islamic culture for early modern viewers, influencing their connection to the depicted culture.

THE SEARCH OF GENRE IN RUSSIAN LITERATURE OF 1920S: V. SHKLOVSKY’S ZОО, OR LETTERS NOT ABOUT LOVE AND V. MAYAKOVSKY’S ABOUT IT AS TWO VERSIONS OF ONE PLAN

The paper attempts to prove that when considering the genre premises of V. Mayakovsky’s poem and V. Shklovsky’s novel, the formalist theory of convergence is no less effective than Bakhtin’s concept of genre memory. A comparative analysis of two texts created at the same time sheds light on the artistic features of each. Both the poem and the novel are ‘literature of exile’; both works are a dedication to the lady of the heart; in both cases, the structure of a courtly romance or a ballad in honor of the beloved is recreated. It is emphasized that the Berlin Zoo (‘Zoo’) was destined to play a special role in the creation of two works. At the same time, the image of the zoo becomes one of the expanded metaphors in the work of Mayakovsky, and not Shklovsky, while for the latter the most important reference point is V. Khlebnikov’s Zverinets. It is suggested that the ‘adult’ literature of the 1920s can draw on the achievements of literature for children. The attitude towards dialogue with tradition is manifested in the works of Shklovsky and Mayakovsky precisely in the space of playing with genre models, as well as in the movement from the verbal text to the book as an indivisible whole, which is relevant for the avant-garde. The idea of synthesis of arts manifests itself in different ways in the works of Mayakovsky and Shklovsky: the former is distinguished by an orientation towards the collage technique, which involves playing with textures, while for the latter, ‘newspaper montage’ is important. The blurring of the boundaries between fiction and document, characteristic of LEF, also determines the genre specificity of both the poem and the novel.

Trauma e poeticità nella narrativa di Herta Müller

"Among the many ways in which Herta Müller engages in reconstructing historical memory in her prose is her extensive use of poetic devices. This article will focus on illustrating the role of words-images and the collage technique, in short, on the functioning of the visual medium, with its varied signifying potential, in conjunction with words, according to a logic in which the montage encapsulates a fragmentary, exploded, alienated identity. This study will therefore shed light on some central aspects of Herta Müller’s prose concerning the problematic layering of the characters’ consciousness. These are victims of the most lacerating historical traumas that marked the 20th century and they often appear within the frames of an autobiographical narrative that does not separate ethics from imagination, or the representation of the wounds of history from poeticism and fiction."

Modern Global Art Groups' Effects on Graphic Design

The modern era in defining the features of formal and expressive construction and achieves its functional and aesthetic goals. Hence, the research aimed to clarify the formal and organizational variables of graphic designers and their expressive performance and to compare their impact on the methods of artistic movements in the modern era. The research was based on the descriptive analytical approach of a group of samples, from which it came out with a set of results and conclusions, namely: Modern arts contributed to finding new performance standards for the aesthetic process in design, which was limited to the aesthetics of drawing and its techniques to express it to the techniques of collage and photo montage towards expressive metaphor using previously untouched materials. Achieving the formal organization of the elements with the background, whether through mathematical and engineering logic or as a coincidence industry, led to a transformation in the design process and the emergence of a new spatial relationship that directly affected a clear transformation of the design.
