Photography plays a crucial role in Seiffert�s debut novel, The Dark Room (2001). Not only does it contribute significantly to rediscovering Germany�s traumatic past, but it also shares certain common responses with the text: the narrative of the self, the album aesthetics, memory, the anti-heroic and the notion of open work. When applied to Seiffe...
Richard Yates´s Revolutionary Road (1961) exemplifies Umberto Eco´s definition of an �open work�.

Composition is a process of applied research. In a portfolio of eight original pieces, the technical and aesthetic components of this process are investigated from the perspective of several theoretical precepts which both inform and underpin its creative strategy. Drawing on theories of intertextuality, composition is collocated within a broad cur...

The book is, nowadays, an example of this, especially due to changes and usages that literature has been suffering and their need to adapt to the digital environment. In the context of New M...

En tenant compte de ce que l’UNESCO a qualifié de « Patrimoine culturel immatériel », nous allons nous interroger sur ce que met en œuvre le transmédia en articulant l’immatériel numérique avec celui non-numérique. À partir de cette immédiateté médiatique, l’une high-tech et l’autre low-tech, nous tenterons de montrer que les dispositifs transmédia...
Ecov Baudolino: srednjeveški sanjač ali odprti avtor? Diplomsko delo skuša preko analize izbranih izsekov romana Baudolino pisatelja Umberta Eca ugotoviti, v kolikšni meri je koncept odprtega dela, ki ga je avtor definiral v odmevnem eseju iz leta 1962, prisoten v njegovem literarnem ustvarjanju. V prvem delu strnjeno predstavimo osnovne poteze odp...
The musical score is often seen as a prescriptive set of instructions, leaving room for expressive interpretation, but following a fixed path from beginning to end. Where this is not the case, one might often expect a far more abstract âÂÂgraphic scoreâ such as Earle BrownâÂÂs December 1952 or Cornelius CardewâÂÂs Treatise, substituti...
Pričujoči prispevek uprizarja srečanje med primerkom sodobne, ne-več-dramske pisave za gledališče (Še me dej Simone Semenič) in konceptom odprtega dela, kakor ga je utemeljil Umberto Eco in kakor sta ga razvili Bojana Cvejić in Ana Vujanović v številki revije Maska, posvečeni tej temi. Namen srečanja je konceptualizacija razpiranja teksta dogodkovn...
