| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/8127 Creation of fictional community Simonson, Karina Zaayman, Carine New Media Does not include abstract. Includes bibliographical references (p. 62-68). This essay explores how the creation of a fictional community is expressed through my body of work. These works do not reference an actual community as such, but are an "imagining"of a nonexisting one, so that they can be understood as a "fictional" or "imagined" community. The dynamic of this imagining is located in the exchange between the memories of my real-life Lithuanian community, and my investigation of the ways in which symbolic objects and group interactions create a sense of community. In this way, my work can be said to reference actual communities, but emphasise the symbolic, or"imaginary"ways in which they hang together. 2014-10-06T11:25:55Z 2014-10-06T11:25:55Z 2008 Master Thesis Masters MFA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8127 eng application/pdf Centre for Film and Media Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
