Summary: This Doctoral Thesis calls for the strategies and tactics of language plastics more vivid now that put in crisis the aesthetic experience contemplative and a-corporal and stresses the existence of a crisis in the optical metaphor in contemporary art. The hypothesis of departure raises that the crisis in representation, which crosses the horizon of current thinking-of phenomenological journey up the thought of the difference, it has many aspects in common with the dematerialization of the art contemporary. But underlying this phenomenon of dematerialization so named is still a phenomenon even more important to focus on our research: the crisis of the regime escópico. The art today is inserted into a crisis of the structures pure, which makes it necessary to study addressed from a multi mood or transdiciplinar commensurate with the expansion of art for the land in question, until recently very poc

Summary: Study on two novels, Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys and Foe of JM Coetzee, in its aspect of rewrites two classics of English literature, Jane Eyre and Robinson Crusoe respectively, by some authors from a postcolonial culture as marginal. This thesis suggested a rewrite as a correlative literary sociological phenomenon of criollidad, characterized by ambivalence identity of individuals own splinter between two worlds, the Colonial, where she was born and grew up, and the mainland, who have seized dominant culture as a model dogmatic to imitate. Jean Rhys, of Caribbean origin, and John Maxwell Coetzee of South Africa, shared the same condition Creole, since both are descendants of Europeans established in these colonies, and agree on the fact that at any given time in his career as writers felt the the need or desire to rewrite some master works in Western literature. Rewrite precursor to a canonical invited them to participate in an activity book for the identification and disidentification with the metropolitan culture that resembled his own existential reality on the borderline between the two worlds that had shaped her life experience. This thesis argues that the fact rewrite the teachers are canonical only helped these authors to find an address to define its own dual identity, but also helped them to identify the keys to become canonical writers themselves, which obviously is perceived best in the case of Coetzee, renowned author of erudition and scope of prestigious literary prizes.

Summary: The discourse of this work is structured from the premise that advocates a secular relationship between art and functionality, as established by the mural paintings in the Upper Palaeolithic. When analyzing a mural painting of monumental character, we mean considerable surface located in public spaces and integrated in the building that the underlying architecture and the environment, we note that there are at least three types of functions: aesthetics, decorative and advertising .. The aridity of this conclusion we must draw a chronological tour to demonstrate the successive movements functional art painting has suffered over history. In parallel, other approaches to the heart of our assumptions, lead us to put the mural painting and outdoor advertising in places mutually exclusive from what I could generically understood as the world of the image. Paint and advertising activities of the mind are two distinct and autonomous in any circumstances to talk about identity, but this is no obstacle to draw relationships between art painting and outdoor advertising, it is well known that during the twentieth century pollution and transfers between Art and Publicity has been mutual and reciprocal. The substantive differences between Art and Advertising basically refer to the intent and the use of the word and image, image advertising and pictorial share morphological aspects, but differ in appearance semantics. Both, with or without text, are part of messages; the advertising necessarily descodificable with respect to a conventional code, known for sender and receiver. Advertising must mean clearly, the message must be understood by thousands of consumers from different cultures and social classes. The artistic message is ambiguous and polysemic and is characterized by destruction or unsaturated code private, serves as a simulation of communication, not to close the circuit. It is also common to the rhetoric from the poetic in painting and advertising, sharing figures with differing purposes: visual metaphors, metonyms, ellipsis, lítotes, repetitions and hipérboles.

Summary: This research aims at a synthesis between two fields, ethics and aesthetics. To achieve this goal we have the philosophy and ethics of Charles Taylor's theory of art Ernst H. Gombrich. They are two of the most important authors of the second half of the twentieth century. Their theories and arguments show a stereoscopic look to the history of recent art, and we get closer to an understanding of dualisms tradition and modernity, formula and creativity. Taylor and Gombrich brings us closer to the knowledge of a model that defends the need to fit into the traditions. The first is necessary in building human identity, as well as indispensable in the modern aesthetic. The second explains its value to all kinds of art. The matter could be too low if think that reject modernity and not contemplate the need for changes or innovations. Quite the opposite happens, understand that modernity is a consequence of the great achievements of men. What they do not behave with a significant part of the current thinking is the idea of breaking with respect to the traditions.

Summary: The thesis proposes the development, testing and implementation of various media binders hidrófilos and lipófilos that its membership include copal resin obtained from the trees of the family Burceraceae. The constant element in the formulations obtained is the veneer of copal in furthering this work, emulsivos used, both natural and synthetic, have other characteristics to the copal resin, as is the quality of being soluble in water and in a exact wording to be able to admit adding more oil or adding these essences, remained, brightness and malleability in short greater plasticity to work, displaying his versatility in implementing both formulations as hydrophilic in lipófilas. Following procedures, diversifies its application in the paint.

Summary: The overall objective of this research work was to establish the transformation and development of the musical genre known as bambuco in Bogota during the nineteenth century, highlighting composers, works and ways to link them with the sociocultural context in which this music was developed and how having participated in the construction of a national identity in Colombia. During the nineteenth century, this music was far more than a mere name to differentiate it from other musical events arising within the Andean region of Colombia, to become a factor symbolic of the nationality of this country. Est significance was attributed in a delicate process framed by the search, construction and reaffirmation of a national identity, which reversed directly on the dynamics of this music from the social point of view and music that is, all the changes made by the bambuco over the study period were determined by the various uses, values, attitudes and motivations that this music aroused in society bogotana nineteenth century, which also impacted directly on your receipt, disclosure and acceptance. One of the key features of the music bambuco nineteenth century was the use of a purely tonal harmonic environment, combined with the melody, enmargaba the two styles predominate in the rest of the century: popular and academic. These were the product of a different and specific cultural environment, determined by the values and social image associated with it. The first type of bambuco was mainly characterized by having an atmosphere markedly farmer, usually transmitted by oral tradition, in some cases without recognized author and without the intervention of a spelling musical underpinning in a pretty simple harmonic sequence and a melody that, according to the first known evidence, it seems to have features that can be regarded as "archaic", possibly derived from the scales pentatónicas usual peasant and indigenous groups in the southern part of the country, likely to be settled in Bogota during the first decades of period study. In contrast to this type of bambuco can find the bambuco academic developed about half of the nineteenth century and remained parallel to the first. It is mainly characterized by having a higher degree of processing harmonic formulations and some more melodic tonal, by having an author identified and submitted in writing generally score; particularities that can reflect the level of academic training of the composer, who was then introduces and develops these "news" according believes appropriate to support his idea melodic and with the intention of giving authorship and originality of her book. These features compositivas were determined by the influence of a more urban, which in turn generated a significant difference with respect to bambuco farmer, in other words, whereas in the urban composers had a greater weight developing academic melodic and harmonic and the creation conceived as originality, in the rural context is the most valued component of a functional music, either outside or bile song, no matter what musical formulations were based on more common. Finally, we can establish that during the first decades of the nineteenth century in Bogota production bambucos was framed in a "proto-nacionalismo", where this music was sharply cutting popular without any pretense academizante, outside the civilized aesthetic of the elite from the capital. The period between the decades from 1840 to 1860, was framed in a "subjective nationalism", which prevailed the need to express national values through the bambuco, along with a quest for technical means to do so. And finally, the decades of 1870 to 1890 can be placed within an "objective nationalism," where there is a consciousness itself to the role of nationalist bambuco, identifying his compositional intent and purpose, which in itself reflects that which allows you to identify it represents the nation through his music.

Summary: The first part provides a theoretical framework from which methodically analyze what empirically observed, the crisis of art and displacement, and correct and validate our hypothesis of departure, based on the contingency of the value and meaning of cultural products . The second part examines first, the state of the art structure and logic that governs its operation, applying the theory of fields Pierre Bordieu. It takes stock of the current situation and the fields held regard to the state it was in this structure in the modern world. Secondly is determined, through a study of two case studies, the logic and the conditions under which they occur displacement of products and producers towards the arts, as well as the effects these movements prolonging the products and --- --- on the artistic structure.

Summary: In this PhD thesis looks into the issue time and memory in the narrative of Josephine Aldecoa focusing my attention in his trilogy of this memory. Our work is divided into two parts. The first contextualiza and introduces the second, more extensive and purely analytical. The first part has two chapters: the first deals with the context that surrounds sociohistórico and production conditions of the author. The second chapter deals with the analysis and classification of all the work of Josephine Aldecoa. Each chapter of the three which form the second part is devoted to the examination of one of the novels above. The trilogy draws a century of the country's history and with it, a life cycle of two women, it started from 1923 and ending in 1982. The focus of the narrator of each volume involves various forms of awareness, but all are equipped with the tool memory. The first person narrator of a mature perspective underlies this whole process. The book reconstructs the whole national history through the female voice of two generations of women. Why is the narrator of the exchange between mother and daughter. En la obra de Aldecoa Josefina, the awareness of women is acquired by a large personal context that is marked by another generation and collectively. Therefore, time and memory are important tools in the process of awareness.

Summary: Based on the barriers that women have encountered in producing literature, the thesis argues that many of them have used the "quilts" as text, and above all, that American writers have blurred the line between richer what textial to use the "quilts" as a text. The first chapter looks at the relationships between these elements textile and textual, while explaining the choice of short stories. The second chapter provides data sociocultural and the third examines a series of stories in which "quilts" appear as an element or profile. It explains how the writers used these devices textile as a metaphor to explore the written text of a disguised form with the difficulties that women have encountered in production, as well as blindness prototype male reader to these texts. It concludes arguing the need to see "quilts" as texts that reflect the female culture but warns of excessive idealization that might ignore the conditions of marginalization in their textualización occurred.

Summary: The scientific work presented aims to highlight aspects concerning the preservation of objects contemporaries. They have taken into consideration a number of issues involving the conservation of these objects. The research addresses below, aims to highlight the complex universe in which plunges activity contemporary conservative legacy. The preservation of that legacy requires extensive documentation to ensure their transmission to future. For that reason, what vision that determine the conservation of contemporary art objects, is the fundamental task of this thesis. To that end, it is necessary to have knowledge of the damage occurred in the material, and to implementing a restoration specific solutions or halt the disturbances encountered. However, in order to apply restoration treatments, not only must know the demotions, it is necessary to understand the factors that determine an intervention, in order to preserve the objects. So much so, that the absence of some performance criteria can cause irreversible damage in the works, producing even total loss of the same. Therefore, they must be dealt with contemporary art objects, taking into account the factors that determine the performance criteria, so that in this way they can be put into practice treatments restoration. These treatments are governed under a critical action, allowing preserve tangible and intangible aspects of the artworks.

Summary: The purpose of this research focuses on the study of the effectiveness of a series of mortar compounds. The use of these materials is an artificial alternative to natural stone. Thus, attempts to resolve problems sealed, reinstatements and mirror elements escultórico-ornamentales made of stone Tosca Rocafort (collectively "Pedra of Godella") and stone Bateig ( "Pedra de Novelda"). These rocks, which are widely used in Monument Heritage Valenciano, are suffering a significant deterioration caused by physical alterations, chemical and biological weapons. The study carried out includes the optimization of experimental parameters that determine the method of preparation and composition mortars compounds. Also, it has established a whole set of physical properties, chemical resistance and biodeterioration through standardized tests used widely in the international arena. It has also designed a series of tests designed to determine the suitability of these mortars in their application to the field of conservation and restoration.
