Negative space

my research comes from Cine-Tracts, A Journal of Film, Communications, Culture and Politics. Written by film theorist David Bordwell, “Camera Movement and Cinematic Space” brings forth a close examination of the functions of camera movement in cinematic representation using a perceptual approach. He describes movement in cinematic space as a cinematic process, which seeks “systematically to station the viewer as subject before an idealized, objectified representation.” This is also the issue he…

up with the image promoted by Tulane admissions. In class we discussed Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the social production of space and I originally interpreted the concepts of social practice and representational space was extremely static. Initially I thought of institutions/people in power creating both the representations of space and the representational space as the space was created and civilians only really having an influence in the social practice however, while interviewing people, I…

We are constructors of our own knowledge as well as knowing what we know and what we do not know about the universe. Knowledge can be viewed and defined in many depending on the person, culture, religion, and lifestyle. Whether people like Sagan or Hawking may dispute their point of views of the universe, they also pertain to have similarities about it as well. Our own beliefs of what knowledge represents to society as well as individually to us can often be subject to outside influence. The…

grow into be six retreats offered to church planters next year. Abide is spaced created for church planters to reconnect their hearts with the heart of God through meditation on scripture and prayer. I provided them with a prayer prompt and the space necessary for them to listen to what God may desire to speak to them. Afterwards, we come together to allow them to listen to one another share what their experience was like and what they…

Preface: Historical preservation has been mostly understood by the means of preserving the physical artifact. However, in an urban context, what makes artifacts’ character “distinctive” and “definitive” is not only their physicality but also their memory. To this end, Also Rossi’s argues for “the soul of the city” as the city’s history, its memory. Although we all travel backward in time through memory, history and memory should be distinguished totally from each other, the former belongs to a…

Therefore, it is important to choose specific scenes which are the best representations of how the main characters live. In Crows and Sparrows, the Chinese New Year scene is the most accurate representation of how Kong and the tenants live in a physical space. If we are to understand this film’s consideration of the home, then we must look at the most honest portrayal of Kong, which would logically occur in a state of personal freedom, since oppression constrains the character’s perception of…

Let it first be assumed that the existence of the universe, as a complete entity, is absolute and static, for no permanent description can be made about its nature if said nature were dynamic, and even so its dynamic nature in itself would be a constant, making any other assumption im-possible in the first place. The notion that the state of the universe is variable depending on the perceiving it must also be rejected for the purposes of this paper, as, similarly to the aforemen-tioned…

exterior • How this transition of two spaces is achieved by the human senses? (Visual marking of spaces – inside/outside) • How the building does merges with the surrounding environment? What textures are created from this? (Example: Todaiji Temple – exterior penetrating into the interior, Horiuchi House – Life pass through the outside and vice versa) CHAPTER 3 : Embracing aesthetics of the space • How materiality can transform positively or negatively a space? • How building materials blend…

“Project Classroom Makeover”, “the imagination is engaged in making connections in all of those forms , as it is in anything we experienced” (Davidson 55). Imagination plays a key role in the human’s ability to associate with other people’s constructed spaces, whether it is through watching, listening or even reading it; it allows people to connect with seemingly unrelatable content. They can only do so, however, by latching onto relevant components as a base where their own imaginations can…

angry because she believes that space is actually what matters for geography; however, philosophers and social scientists made the space into a residual dimension. The over-focusing of time instead of space is the factor that Massey is angry about; she believes that space has dynamic and three-dimensional. Space changes the way of human beings’ lives. People cannot just simply consider space and flat and describe it without its context. 2. Massey says that space is “the dimension of things…
