Abstract:
The research aims at examining the kind of relationship the English novelist Edward Morgan Forster (1879-1970) had with Egypt during his stay there for three years, when he traveled presumably for only six months to work as a Red Cross Searcher to report missing soldiers and interview wounded soldiers during the First World War (1914-1918). Egypt was then a colony of the British Empire. The research shows Forster's attitude towards Egypt, Egyptian life, customs, music and nature, and towards Egyptians and Europeans, including Anglo-Egyptians and other foreigners. It also explains the reasons behind the change of his view of Egyptians and traces his sympathy with them, especially after being acquainted with Mohamed el Adl, an Egyptian tram conductor. After leaving Egypt, he continued to be connected to it emotionally, literarily and politically. He revisited it three times later. He admitted its positive effect on him and he continued to support it politically. It inspired him some short stories, two geography and history books of ancient Egypt. A big deal of his experience in Egypt was echoed in two of his novels, his Indian novel A Passage to India and his posthumous novel Maurice..

O objetivo deste trabalho é fazer uma tradução comentada para o português do Brasil do conto The other boat, do escritor inglês Edward Morgan Forster. A tradução é a primeira feita em português do conto, escrito entre os anos de 1957-8 e publicado postumamente em 1972. O conto é sobre um encontro erótico, homossexual e trágico entre dois personagens de classes e raças diferentes no início do século 20. A tese propõe tornar o texto visível, mais lido e discutido, contribuindo assim para a criação de um cânone mais inclusivo onde qualquer leitor se reconheça independentemente de raça, identidade sexual, nacionalidade e língua.

Abstract : The objective of this work is to do a commented translation into Brazilian Portuguese of Edward Morgan Forster's short story The other boat. This translation of the short story, written between 1957 and 1958, and published posthumously, is the first one into Portuguese. The short story is about an erotic, homosexual and tragic encounter between two characters of different social classes and races at the beginnning of the 20th century. The thesis proposes to make the text visible, much more read and discussed, thus contributing to the creation of a more inclusive canon, where any reader, regardless of race, sexual identity, nationality or language, can recgonize themselves.

Abstract:
This thesis explores E. M. Forster's interest in the politics of music, illustrating the importance of music to Forster's conceptions of personal relationships and imperialism, national character and literary influence, pacifism and heroism, class and amateurism. Discussing Forster's novels, short stories, essays, lectures, letters, diaries, and broadcast talks, the thesis looks into the political nuances in Forster's numerous allusions and references to musical composition, performance, and consumption. In so doing, the thesis challenges previous formalistic studies of Forster's representations of music by highlighting his attention to the contentious relations between music and political contingencies. The first chapter examines A Passage to India, considering Forster's depictions of music in relation to the novel's concern with friendship and imperialism. It explores the ways in which music functions politically in Forster's most ‘rhythmical' novel. The second chapter focuses on Forster's description of the performance of Lucia di Lammermoor in Where Angels Fear to Tread. Reading this highly crafted scene as Forster's attempt to ‘modernize' fictional narrative, it discusses Forster's negotiation of national character and literary heritage. The third chapter assesses Forster's Wagnerism, scrutinizing the conjunction between Forster's rumination on heroism and his criticism of Siegfried. The chapter pays particular attention to Forster's uncharacteristic silence on Wagner during and after the Second World War. The fourth chapter investigates Forster's celebration of musical amateurism. By analysing his characterization of musical amateurs and professionals in ‘The Machine Stops', Arctic Summer, and Maurice, the chapter discusses the gender and class politics of Forster's championing of freedom and idiosyncrasy.

Abstract:
The present analysis is intended to shed some light on Forster&
#8217
s use of myth, recurrent mythical images and archetypal patterns in his works. This study analyses Forster&
#8217
s archetypal images making particular references to his major works namely, short stories, Where Angels Fear to Tread, A Room with a View, The Longest Journey, Howards End and A Passage to India. The study is confined to the functions and significance of the mythical images and archetypal patterns represented in the aforementioned works. Forster tried to reflect the insecurity and rootlessness of modern life through mythical motifs
he showed a modern man who has become alienated from himself and nature. Forster&
#8217
s most obvious use of mythology is found in the short stories, which are fantasies. It is a mythology which stems from earth and nature, the two elements which act as unifying forces throughout his fiction. It is interesting to note further that this preoccupation with earth and nature is carried into all the other novels before A Passage to India. Forster&
#8217
s use of classical myth and his general attitude toward nature and earth are found in all his fiction. The method used is archetypal criticism
it deals with archetypes which are primordial images perceived across cultures, inherited from time immemorial, issuing from a &
#8216
collective unconscious&
#8217
. An archetype is a mythic symbol, which is deeply rooted in the unconscious, more broadly based on a foundation of universal nature than an ordinary literary symbol, and is more generally expressive of the elemental in man and nature. Chapter one identifies the dominant archetypal approaches and further selects the most appropriate framework for a study of myth and archetypes in Forster&
#8217
s work. Chapter two deals with nature archetypes which find their best expression in Forster&
#8217
s short stories. Chapter three and four focus on Forster&
#8217
s character archetypes in his A Room with a View, and Where Angels Fear to Tread. Chapter five attempts to explore the tragic and heroic aspects of the character archetypes in The Longest Journey. Chapter six deals with Forster&
#8217
s use of archetypal symbols in Howards End. Chapter seven focuses on Forster&
#8217
s prophetic vision in A Passage to India, in which Forster exhibited a prophetic tone of voice and extended the scope of his archetypes. The purpose of this dissertation is to analyse E. M. Forster&
#8217
s use of myth, recurrent mythical images and archetypal patterns in his efforts to communicate his vision of life. This study argues that Forster progresses from fantasy to prophecy. Depending on this progress, Forster&
#8217
s archetypes evolve. This investigation familiarises the reader with how mythical motifs and archetypes enable the author to communicate his vision of reality, which is essentially timeless. Keywords: Mythology, Archetype

Full text
Abstract:
E. M. Forster a de toute evidence, par un style tres particulier, a la fois descriptif, image, mais aussi porteur d'implicite et de non-dit, stimule l'imagination des cineastes. Cinq de ses six romans ont ete portes a l'ecran, dont a passage to india par david lean, a room with a view, maurice et howards end par james ivory. Les realisateurs, comme tout lecteur, sont appeles a combler les interstices presents dans le recit de l'ecrivain : ils prolongent l'uvre initiale, completent le texte, lui donnent une interpretation deliberee. La narration cinematographique amene necessairement a une autre organisation du recit. De plus, elle est contrainte d'expliciter certains elements tenus sous silence. Inversement des contenus clairement formules par forster semblent disparaitre a l'ecran. L'etude des analogies permet alors de constater que le cinema les exprime cependant, mais de maniere beaucoup plus implicite : angles de prises de vue, cadrages, eclairages, montage, accessoires, commentaires musicaux et silences viennent completer de leurs nombreux messages indirects ce que le jeu des acteurs et leur tenue vestimentaire suggerent par ailleurs. Le recit filmique, en revelant certains aspects du roman qui etaient dans l'ombre et en verifiant des hypotheses suggerees par le narrateur, complete l'uvre de l'ecrivain, meme s'il en occulte d'autres contenus : films et romans s'eclairent reciproquement et soulignent l'existence de ces codes culturels qui evoluent imperceptiblement d'une epoque a l'autre et permettent au lecteur/spectateur de decoder les messages implicites
E. M. Forster has no doubt stimulated filmmakers' imagination thanks to his very particular style, both descriptive and colourful, full of contents which are implicit or left unsaid. Five out of the novelist's six novels have been brought to the screen, amongst which a passage to india by david lean, a room with a view, maurice and howards end by james ivory. Like any reader, filmdirectors will fill the gaps of the writer's narrative : they extend the initial work, add to the text and give it their particular interpretation. Film must lead to a new organization of the story. Moreover it has to clarify some elements which have been left unsaid. But on the other hand some of the contents clearly expressed by forster seem to disappear on the screen. Studying analogies then reveals that cinema does express these contents but in a much more implicit way : shooting angles, framing, lighting, editing, props, musical comments and silence work as indirect messages and complete what acting and costumes otherwise suggest. Film narrative brings to light some aspects of the novel which have been kept in the shade. It checks some of the hypotheses which the narrator has suggested. Although it hides some of its contents it adds to the writer's work. Films and novels shed light on each other while underlining the existence of those cultural codes which surreptitiously change from one age to another and allow us to understand implicit messages

Abstract:
Edward morgan forster (1879-1970) et marguerite duras (1914-1996), deux romanciers a priori que tout oppose, se rencontrent neanmoins sur un point essentiel : ils ont entretenu des rapports privilegies avec l'asie, qu'il s'agisse de l'inde pour forster ou de l'indochine pour duras. Ainsi leurs oeuvres se situent au carrefour d'une triple colonisation : la colonisation politique dont ils remettent en cause la legitimite, une colonisation litteraire qui fait de l'asie un motif d'ecriture et une colonisation biographique qui transforme l'inde ou l'indochine en refuge pour une ame dechiree. Forster et duras s'inscrivent donc dans la longue tradition de l'orientalisme, qui tente de s'approprier par le discours et l'image une terre sentie comme representant l'alterite absolue. Le detour par l'autre est un moyen d'acceder a un moi, dont l'unite est a construire. Cependant, quels que soient l'investissement autobiographique, la thematique coloniale et les liens affectifs tresses sur et avec cette terre, duras et forster restent des grands temoins de l'exteriote de l'asie. Cette derniere conserve son irreductible etrangete bien qu'elle soit possedee par l'ecriture qui en a fait un habitat biographique et litteraire. L'asie reste fondamentalement la patrie de l'exil
Edward morgan forster (1879) and marguerite duras (1914-1996), two novelists who apparently hold opposite positions, nevertheless meet on a major point : they developed privileged relationships with asia, whether it be india for the former or indochina for the latter. Their works lay at a crossroads of three kinds of colonization : a political colonization whose legitimacy they question, a literary colonization which has made asia into a writing motif, and a biographical one which has turned india and indochina into a shelter for a torn soul. Forster and duras come within the long tradition of orientalim which endeavours to take over, by words or images, a land considered as embodying absolute otherness. Going through the other enables them to reach their self, whose unity is to be built up. However, in spite of the autobiographical investment, colonial inspiration and emotional bonds which unite them to that land, duras and forster remain witnesses to asian exteriority. Asia retains its indomitable singularity though it has been captured by writing which has turned it into a biographical and literary home. Asia essentially remains the home of exile

Abstract:
Abstract Micro-pumps utilizing no-moving-parts (NMP) valves, driven by a piezoelectric element bonded to a flexible membrane have been developed by a number of research groups (Olsson et al, 1995a; Forster et al, 1995; Gerlach and Wurmus, 1995). Recently, pump heads of over 7 m of H2O have been achieved (Olsson et al, 1996). However, no systematic methods have been reported that predict pump performance and guide the design of optimally performing pumps. We have developed a linearized dynamic system model that provides a detailed understanding of the relationship between a realistic set of system parameters and pump performance. These parameters include flow characteristics of the NMP valves, characteristics of the working fluid, pump geometry, and materials used in fabrication. Utilization of the model as a design tool, resulted in a dramatic improvement from previous “flexible” pump designs with maximum heads of approximately 0.24 m of H2O to a “stiff” design with a maximum head of 4.75 m of H2O, a twenty-fold increase in performance. Corresponding flow rates increased from 85 to 750 μl/min, a nine-fold increase.

Bacteriorhodopsin (BRh) is the red retinal-containing protein found in the cell membranes of H. salinarum and is considered a light-activated proton pump that transports protons across the plasma membrane. Bacteriorhodopsin photointermediates have been defined in kinetic and spectroscopic terms as BR568, K590, L550, M412, N560, and O640. We have previously shown, using the Forster cycle for BRh that its acidity increases greatly on illumination. Therefore, protons released upon illumination of the L550 intermediate with 412 nm light may not play an essential role in ATP production. Instead, the light-induced excitation energy, which represents the energy difference between the L550 and M412 states, can be used to extract an ATP molecule attached to ATP synthase. Thus, we have shown that this amount of energy corresponds to a near-infrared vibration, which is sufficient for ATP production and provides the most feasible molecular mechanism for this phenomenon. Here, we provide new evidence that protons are released due to BRh excitation, unrelated to ATP synthesis, being only a secondary phenomenon. In addition, once released from H. salinarum cells, protons should return back into the cells via ATP-synthase molecules to produce ATP. This is not possible at pH > 7.0, such as pH 9.5. However, the stability of M intermediates and ATP formation appear to be increased at higher pH values. Indeed, a spectral shift of 138 nm may be associated with an energy amount of about 17 kcal mol-1, which is enough energy to release a mole of ATP from ATP-synthase. In general, light excitation of fluorescent molecules is a phenomenon that induces a strong increase in their acidity. Recent data suggest that the chemiosmotic hypothesis put forward by Peter Mitchell to explain ATP formation in living cells is not correct, at least in terms of explaining light-induced ATP production in H. salinarum cells.
