Kell, Charles. "Constructing Transgression| Criminality in Experimental Literature." Thesis, University of Rhode Island, 2019. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=13814402.
Full textThis dissertation examines integral, challenging contemporary poetry and fiction, and its relationship to notions of the criminal in multiple guises. The present focus on “criminal” excavates not only its literal meaning—the nature of crime, and its specific relation to penal law—but also brings to light how the “criminal” affects the construction of fiction and poetry, and the lives of various individuals (speakers) within the chosen texts. Intricately tied with the criminal are practices that transgress, and this study will also locate specific creations where poets and novelists construct transgressions that challenge contemporary ideas of narrative and poetic modes. This study argues that expanding the term “criminal” opens up not only the current field of “criminal studies,” but also examines contemporary poetry and prose. This dissertation argues that a new formulation of the criminal proliferates practices of subjectivities that are forced upon individuals and taken for granted, and that the “criminal” is intricately tied to works that transgress and experiment.
The criminal, at its most basic, involves the nature of crime; it relates to the penal law; guilty; characteristic of a criminal. Most studies of “criminality” fall under the term “prison literature,” which focuses on individuals who have been incarcerated, and subsequently chronicled their lives in writing. Other studies and novels focus specifically on the struggle of individuals in prison. These texts take incarceration as their primary focus. This dissertation looks to make a distinct break between “prison” writing and “criminal” writing, moving the focus from incarceration to other social boundaries; however, “prison” and “criminal” are two terms that often intersect and overlap. “Criminal” writing does not take incarceration as its jumping off point, though incarceration may play a role; instead, the “criminal” is a spatial way of being in the world that either marks one off from contemporary society, or borders on notions which denote one as outsider. This project looks to expand the field from literatures focusing primarily on incarceration to studies depicting acts of transgression and deviance that may not necessarily land an individual behind bars, but mark one as separate from societal norms, as an outsider. This study envisions the “criminal” as branching out from its basic definition to include a variety of ways individuals “transgress” from their present predicament. This includes but is not limited to illegal acts one partakes in but is not caught, and acts that jeopardize one’s place in society. As such, the “criminal” is opaque, nebulous, harder to pin down; it works from the periphery, the margins, interstitial spaces; whereas “prison” writing already denotes the given fact that one is or has been incarcerated, calling to mind a fixed location and trajectory.
Both poetry and fiction illustrate this branching out in similar and disparate ways, and the focus on both showcases the plurality and broad reach of these genres. The central objects of study will be a range of contemporary American poetry and fiction: James Baldwin’s Giovanni’s Room (1956); Rosmarie Waldrop’s Driven to Abstraction (2010); Joanna Scott’s Arrogance (1990); and C.D. Wright’s One Big Self: An Investigation (2007). These texts give voice to the myriad, opaque notions of the “criminal,” while at the same time blurring the lines of how poetry and prose function; each text, as well, marks off distinct breaks in the artists’ bodies of work. These texts transgress on multiple levels, in turn, mirroring and mimicking the slippery, proliferating term—“criminal.”

Resumo: A observação dos meios pelos quais a obra de Blaise Cendrars se transformou na expressão dos movimentos de vanguarda foi a intenção principal do presente trabalho. A escolha do escritor para o estudo das vanguardas reflete o modo como sua vida e obra foram representativas do espírito do mundo e da arte modernos. O embasamento teórico deste trabalho deu-se a partir de teorias e críticas da poesia em geral, para verificar a constituição da modernidade e a caracterização estética das vanguardas. La Prose du Transsibérien et de la Petite Jehanne de France, corpus central desta pesquisa, é um dos textos que mais exemplifica a estética das vanguardas dentro da obra do poeta, pois o conjunto de recursos estilísticos e artísticos empregados pelos autores, Blaise Cendrars e Sonia Delaunay-Terk, constituíram-na como um paradigma dos movimentos vanguardistas, tornando-a revolucionária entre as artes no início do século XX. Não só La Prose foi representativa das vanguardas, mas também outros títulos de Cendrars consolidaram-se como manifestações desses movimentos. Em toda a obra do poeta evidenciou-se uma forte ligação com as vanguardas, tanto no plano temático, com a presença das inovações vivenciadas pela sociedade do início do século XX, o culto à máquina e à velocidade; quanto no estético, com a aplicação de algumas técnicas vanguardistas: as palavras em liberdade; a valorização da visualidade dos versos, por meio da expressividade da tipografia e da disposição das palavras pela pág...

Résumé: L'observation des moyens par lesquels le travail de Blaise Cendrars est devenu l'expression des mouvements d'avant-gardes a été le but principal de ce travail. Le choix de l'écrivain pour l'étude des avant-gardes reflète la façon dont sa vie et son œuvre étaient représentatives de l'esprit du monde et de l'art modernes. La base théorique de ce travail s'est constitué à partir des théories et des critiques de la poésie en général, pour vérifier la constitution de la modernité et des caractéristiques esthétiques des avant-gardes. L'œuvre La Prose du Transsibérien et de la Petite Jehanne de France, corpus central de cette recherche, c'est l'une des plus illustratives de l'esthétique des avant-gardes et du travail du poète, car l'ensemble de recours stylistiques et artistiques utilisé par les auteurs, Blaise Cendrars et Sonia Delaunay-Terk, la constitue comme une œuvre paradigme des mouvements d'avant-garde et la fait révolutionnaire parmi les arts au début du XXe siècle. Pas seulement La Prose a été représentative de l'avant-garde, mais aussi d'autres titres de Cendrars ont été consolidés comme des manifestations de ces mouvements. Toute l'œuvre du poète a révélé une forte connexion avec les avant-gardes, tant au plan thématique, comme la présence des innovations vécues par la société du début du XXe siècle, le culte de la machine et de la vitesse; qu'au plan esthétique, comme l'application de certaines techniques des avant-gardes: les mots en liberté; l'appréciation visuelle...

Full textIn its beginnings, the French semiotic theory had as its major concern the issues of the intelligible, when Greimas proposed a generative path of meaning capable to comprise many systems of meaning. In the course of time, though, the analysts were defied by issues related to sensibility and affection, which claimed for a place in theory, through texts in which narrative was not central. Claude Zilberberg, in particular, is one of the authors who defends the primacy of the sensibility over intelligibility through the features of which came to be called tensive semiotics. Following this movement both through theory and literature, this dissertation chooses as its subject an experimental novel, Paulo Leminskis Catatau, almost considered an unintelligible work due to its non-linear narrative patterns. We aim to approach this novel through the tensive semiotics theory, proposing some ways for its reading based on the texts iterant strategies and procedures. As Zilberberg finds in Saussures syllabic model a rhythmic system which can be expanded to all semiotic domains, we can find in a novel like Catatau cells or elements which repeat in certain intervals, creating a rule, an orientation, a rhythm at least. In Catatau, this rhythm seems much more to disorganize than to organize the language. It means that its the rhythmic cell interchange that leads the reader to that effect of unintelligibility. Of course that there are more features that reinforce this effect within the novel, as we show along our work. That means that we see Leminskis novel less as a diluted narrative and more as the offspring of some experience only made possible if built upon some persons sensibility, affected by his/her surroundings. On this specific approach we find our means to make explicit the building of the text meaning, which is considered the semiotic theory main goal.

Full textThis work attempts to read the Brazilian Naturalism as an important fact of this international movement and examines some of aesthetic, thematic and methodological adjustments it has been passed in Brazil. It considers that the model proposed by Emile Zola was adapted in Brazil by authors such as Aluisio Azevedo, Julio Ribeiro and Adolfo Caminha, among others. The novels written by these authors expressed the conservative economic modernization of Brazil in the late 19th century, building characters and plots that have left marks in the Brazilian literature that are deeper than is used to recognize. Novels like O cortiço, A carne e Bom-Crioulo touched on traumatic issues, such as slavery and sexuality of individuals, in a progressively bourgeois society, and meant an expressive modernization in Brazilian letters and mentalities.

Full textMuch has been written about seated working posture - particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and the furniture associated with achieving what is commonly referred to as the "German Square" postural geometry (after Mandal, 1974). The physical sciences aspects of chair, desk and associated furniture ancillary to the task required of the seated worker, have been described in the scientific literature and the standards and guideline publications of the authorities of many countries of the western world. The most important contribution of multi-adjustable furniture to the reduction of postural discomfort and musculo-skeletal complaints is recognised. As a result a variety of standards and guidelines concerning some of these aspects exists in countries such as the United Kingdom, Canada, United States of America, Germany, Australia and the Scandinavian countries. The International Organisation for Standardisation published document TC136/SC7 in 1978, consolidating such existing standards. Less emphasis has been placed on the interface of the information exchange and the comfort, performance and preferences of the seated worker; ie., the practically, the comfort and the intrinsic safety of the working posture prescribed by the model established by the many standards. Existing specifications and guidelines differ in their orientation towards operator performance and comfort of the operator, in as much as some purport to be "furniture standards", for example C.E.N, Comite European de Normalisation, Paris, 1980, while others purport to be "postural standards", for example, International Organisation for Standardisation document TC 136/SC7 (1978). The standards are uniform in matters of upright trunk and 90° upper and lower limb geometry, but are divided in the lineal dimensions applied to eye height above the floor, shoulder acromion to home row of keys (or pen-grip position of the dominant hand and fingers), and eye distance to copy.

Resumo: Este trabalho é uma análise da poesia experimental de Ana Hatherly (Porto, 1929 - Lisboa, 2015), artista multifacetada que se movimenta pelos terrenos da literatura, das artes plásticas, do cinema e da crítica literária. Partindo de uma tentativa de definição do conceito de poesia experimental e de uma delimitação do corpus a ser estudado, demonstra-se que, muito embora essa designação faça referência ao fenômeno literário internacional surgido na segunda metade do século XX, a dificuldade de uma definição teórica mais rigorosa decorre, em parte, das múltiplas - quase incontáveis - poéticas identificadas sob esse rótulo ao longo das últimas décadas (Poesia Concreta, Visual, Fonética, Sonora, Cinética, Digital, Holopoesia, Biopesia, E-poetry, etc.). Soma-se a isso a incompreensão da crítica convencional sobre os métodos e processos experimentais ao subsumir manifestações estéticas diversas como representativas da mesma categoria generalizante. Ademais, o uso indiscriminado do termo experimental confere ao conceito um tom de imprecisão, provocado não só por parte da crítica, mas também alimentado pelo hermetismo dos poetas. O experimentalismo poético se transformou, desse modo, num "hiperônimo elástico", imenso guarda-chuva empunhado pela crítica, fetichizado pela lógica do mercado literário e, ainda, pelo seu inacabamento intrínseco, o que impede, de saída, o estabelecimento de fixações conceituais sumárias.

Abstract: This study analyses Ana Hatherly's (Porto, 1929 - Lisbon, 2015) experimental poetry. She is a multifaceted artist who circulates in the fields of literature, the plastic arts, cinema, and literary criticism. This research initially tries to define the concept of experimental poetry and to delimit a corpus to demonstrate that, despite this designation referring to the international literary phenomenon which arose in the second half of the XX Century, it is hard to define experimental poetry with theoretical rigor. This is partly due to the multiple - almost countless - poetics which have been thus labelled (Concrete, Visual, Phonetic, Sound, Kinetic, Digital Poetry, Holopoetry, Biopoetry, E-poetry, etc.) in the last decades. Moreover, conventional criticism misunderstands the methods and experimental processes by subsuming different aesthetic manifestations under the same generalising category. Besides, the indiscriminate use of the term experimental renders it imprecise, which is to blame on critics and also on the poets' hermeticism. Consequently, poetic experimentalism has become an "elastic hypernym", a huge umbrella wielded by critics, fetishised by the logics of the literary market and by its intrinsic unfinishedness which flatly rejects fixed conceptual categorizations. Hence, the premise of this research is that unequivocal affirmations about poetic experimentalism are impossible to make, and it takes into account Hatherly's warning about the contemporary compulsion ...

Full textThis research questions how the book can be rethought through technological advances of today, contemplating the mobile device, its own culture and its features. For this matter, it studies both the book and the mobile device as medias for experimentation and artistic creation, following a path that deconstructs them layer by layer: text, paper, devices, infertace and context. Basing on practices that transgressed the limits of these means over time, like concrete poetry that overflows the word, the artist book that deny the codex and the narratives that become interactive, mobile and contextual, this theoretical study meets practice for a reconstruction proposal. From a need for experimentation and lab activities conducted during this course, finally, I, phone project is presented. Inspired by the works of Eduardo Kac and the dialogue between art and technology, this project is a propose to put togheter again the studied medias, in order to set up a new syntax, a hybrid support, the book-machine , rethinking the book for today technologies. As a result, possible paths in the area of paper computing are unfolded. In the end, this research seeks to contribute with fresh eyes and perspectives on books as art and technology, in a way that the creative process not just absorbs the contemporary advances, but also uses them to break their own limits.
Ao questionar como o livro pode ser repensado para os avanços tecnológicos de hoje, no caso, contemplando uma cultura própria do dispositivo móvel e suas funcionalidades, esta pesquisa estuda tanto o livro quanto o dispositivo móvel como suportes para experimentação e criação artística, desconstruindo-os nos dois primeiros capítulos. Fundamentando-se em vertentes que transgrediram os limites destes meios ao longo do tempo, como a poesia concreta que rompe com a palavra, o livro de artista que rompe com o códice e as narrativas que se transformam em interativas, móveis e contextuais, este estudo teórico transborda para a prática. Dessa forma, a partir desta necessidade de experimentação e de laboratórios realizados durante o percurso de pesquisa, foi realizado, por fim, o projeto prático Eu, fone. Este capítulo, de poética livre, inspira-se nos feitos de Eduardo Kac e o diálogo entre arte e tecnologia para propor uma reconstrução dos meios estudados, com o propósito de configurar uma nova sintaxe baseada em um suporte híbrido, o livro-máquina . Como resultado, desdobram-se caminhos possíveis na área de paper computing, ficando uma contribuição para as criações com meios eletrônicos, apontando para uma forma de criar que não apenas absorva os avanços tecnológicos contemporâneos, mas que os use para romper com seu próprios limites e ir além

Full textThis article elaborates a reading of The Fox from up above and the Fox from down below by Jose Maria Arguedas, from an anthropological perspective, making it dialogue with the genre of experimental ethnography, framed within the positivist paradigm crisis in social sciences. This book aims to describe a complex intercultural context, developing a textual formula with higher powers than the indigenous novel approach or traditional ethnographic realism. While Arguedas has no scientific pretensions, his novel opens and reflects aspects of reality using resources such as collage, myth as historical background and polyphonic perspective through the discourse of social actors within the play. This makes evidence of his training as an ethnologist who is at once literary, enrolling in the phenomenon of blurred genders and the re-figuration of social thought (Geertz 1980). It starts from the novel in its entirety and the accompanying diaries, highlighting certain passages and nourishes of theoretical perspectives relating to ethnography, demonstrating the complexity of the arguedian style, such as theoretical and epistemological questions of anthropology in the second half of the twentieth century.

O Simpósio Brasileiro de Engenharia de Software (SBES) está na sua 25ª edição em 2011. Ao longo da sua história, vários progressos no campo da engenharia de software foram publicados e debatidos. Durante o Simpósio, os avanços e pesquisas ganham voz e repercutem no meio acadêmico nacional. Entender como a pesquisa de engenharia de software publicada no SBES evoluiu nesse período é o principal objetivo deste trabalho. Os demais objetivos se relacionam com o primeiro diretamente. Compreender quais as áreas de pesquisa e os métodos mais utilizados, e ainda traçar um histórico das abordagens, das unidades de análise e dos gêneros de pesquisa. Neste trabalho ainda quantificamos os artigos publicados em inglês, a quantidade de referências e citações de cada paper. Para entendermos essa evolução foi necessário utilizar algumas classificações difundidas na literatura visando avaliar os trabalhos publicados e os simpósios como um todo. A metodologia utilizada passou pela leitura dos últimos 24 anos do SBES e a consolidação em um formulário de extração. O método inclui ainda detalhes e exemplos dos critérios utilizados, visando dar maior qualidade ao processo. Por fim, uma ferramenta de consolidação automatizada integra os valores encontrados. Os resultados mostram como cada um dos critérios acima definidos evoluiu ao longo do tempo, quais centros de pesquisa têm mais espaço no contexto do SBES e quais aspectos do estudo da engenharia de software podem ser aprimorados. Deste modo, este trabalho ajuda a entender o panorama brasileiro de engenharia de software e demonstra o papel relevante da pesquisa para evolução da ciência.
The Brazilian Symposium on Software Engineering (SBES) is on its 25th edition in 2011. Throughout its history, several improvements in the field of software engineering have been published and discussed. During the Symposium, the advances and researches gained voice and repercussions in the national academic environment. Understanding how software engineering research published in SBES evolved in this period is the main objective of this work. The other objectives are directly related to the first. To understand the areas of research and the methods used, and build a historical analysis of the research approaches, the unit of analysis and the type of research. This work has quantified the articles published in English, the number of references, and citations of each paper. In order to understand this evolution, it was necessary to use some widespread classifications in literature to evaluate the published works and symposia as a whole. The methodology began by reading the last 24 years of SBES and the consolidation in an extraction form. The method also includes details and examples of the criteria employed to give more quality to the process. Finally, an automated consolidation tool integrated the values found. The results show how each of the criteria described above has evolved over time, research centers which have more space in the context of SBES and also which aspects of the study in software engineering can be improved. Thus, this work assists to understand the Brazilian panorama of software engineering and demonstrates the important role of research for science advance.

However, case studies tend to find more positive results in the favor of Test-Driven development (TDD) compared to Test-Last development (TLD). Similarly, experimental findings are also confirming the fact that TDD has small benefits over TLD. However, given the small effect size there is an indication that (Test-Driven development) TDD endorses less complex code compared to Test-Last development (TLD).

Full textThe dominant theory of PTSD and, subsequently, current gold standard PTSD treatments are based on a model of dysregulated fear. However, a growing body of research suggests that other emotional responses, like shame, are important contributors to PTSD symptom maintenance. The current study sought to forward the trauma literature by using an experimental paradigm to test if trauma survivors, especially those distressed by an interpersonal (vs. non-interpersonal) trauma, experience shame in response to day-to-day experiences of fear. This experimental study used a pre-post between group design in which participants (N = 178) were randomized to receive either a fear or neutral emotion prime with postmanipulation state shame serving as the outcome measure. As predicted, the fear emotion prime interacted with PTSD symptom level to significantly predict postmanipulation state shame. Among participants who reported an interpersonal index trauma and received the fear emotion prime, those with high PTSD symptom levels reported significantly more postmanipulation shame than those with low symptom levels. Interestingly, among participants who reported a non-interpersonal index and received the fear emotion prime, those with high PTSD symptom levels reported significantly less postmanipulation shame than those with low symptom levels. Exploratory analyses did not implicate emotion regulation skill deficits in this relationship. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the relationship of shame to daily experiences of fear in the maintenance of PTSD symptoms, but further exploration into the dynamics of fear, shame, and PTSD represents a priority for the field of traumatology.

Full textThe study of the new contemporary dramaturgical tendencies is not far from everything political and social which occurs in the western society. The changes produced in this beginning of the millennium due, in large part, to the clash of cultures between the new and the traditional, have led to struggles among all citizens who are linked to the culture world. For this reason, this study shows all these changes through a critical look at society, not just keeping skeptical of all this reality what surround this time, but treating in a extensive and rigorous way the topics that wraps up the new creators. To concretize these new tendencies in a single name and following the exposition throughout the work, the approach to his dramaturgy and the academic essays, Juan Mayorga has studied in his creation a critical and philosophical point of view of the society, as well as a distrust to the words and truths established throughout the tradition. Juan Mayorga has become an attractive author for academics because of his dramatic language and his staging. His work as a playwright and his recent inclusion in the Royal Spanish Academy give him a linguistic and philosophical merit that spreads out all his playwright work. The spectators who attend their theatrical events have to enter into the political-theatrical game that he proposes.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis, I undertake an extensive overview of a range of language activities that foreground the materiality of language, and that require an active reader oriented towards the text as a producer, rather than a consumer, of meaning. To this end, performance, as a function of both orality and print texts, forms an important focus for my argument. I am particularly interested in the effect that the disruption of language has on the position of the subject in language, especially in terms of the dialogic exchange between local and global subject positions. Poetry is a language activity that requires a particular attention to form and meaning, and that is licensed to activate and exploit the materiality of language. For this reason, I have focused on the work of a selection of North American poets, the Language poets. These poets are primarily concerned with the performative possibilities of language as it appears in print media. I juxtapose these language activities with those of a selection of contemporary South African poets whose work is marked by the influence of oral forms, and reveals telling interplays between media. All these poets are preoccupied with the ways in which the sign might be disrupted. In my discussion of the work of the Language poets, I consider how examples of their print poetics present the reader with language fragments, arranged according to non-syntactic principles. Confronted by the lack of an individuated lyric subject around whom these fragments might cohere, the reader is obliged to make his/her own connections between words, sounds and phrases. Similarly, in the work of the performance poets, I identify several aspects in the poetry that trouble a transparent transmission of expression, and instead require the poetry to be read as an interrogation of the constitution of the subject. Here, the ―I‖ fleetingly occupies multiple, shifting subject positions, and the poetic interplay between media and language tends towards a continuous destabilising of the poetic self. Poets and performers are, to some extent, licensed to experiment with language in ways that render it opaque. Because the language activities of poets and performers are generally accommodated within the order of symbolic or metaphoric language, their experimentation with non-communicative excesses can be understood as part of their framework. However, in situations where ―communicative‖ language is expected, the order of literal or forensic language cannot accommodate seemingly non-communicative excesses that appear to render the text opaque. Ultimately, I am concerned with exploring the manner in which attention to the materiality of language might open up alternative understandings of language, subjectivity and representation in South African public discourse. My conclusion therefore considers the consequences when the issues opened up by the poetry – questions of self and subject, authority and representation – are translated into forensic frameworks and testimonial discourse.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: My proefskrif bied ‘n breedvoerige oorsig van ‘n reeks taal-aktiwiteite wat die materialiteit van taal sigbaar maak. Hierdie taal-aktiwiteite skep tekste wat die leser/kyker noop om as vervaardiger, eerder as verbruiker, van betekenis in ‘n aktiewe verhouding met die teks te tree. Die performatiewe funksie van beide gesproke sowel as gedrukte taal vorm dus die hooffokus van my argument. Ek stel veral belang in die effek wat onderbrekings en versteurings in taal op die subjek van taal uitoefen, en hoe hierdie prosesse die die dialogiese verhouding tussen lokale en globale subjek-posisies beïnvloed. Poëtiese taal-aktiwiteite word gekenmerk deur ‘n fokus op vorm en die verhouding tussen vorm en inhoud. Terwyl die meeste taalpraktyke taaldeursigtigheid vereis ter wille van direkte kommunikasie, het poëtiese taal tot ‘n mate die vryheid om die materaliteit van taal te gebruik en te ontgin. Om hierdie rede fokus ek selektief op die werk van ‘n groep Noord-Amerikaanse digters, die sogenaamde ―Language poets‖. Hierdie digters is hoofsaaklik met die performatiewe moontlikhede van gedrukte taal bemoeid. Voorts word hierdie taal-aktiwiteite met ‘n seleksie kontemporêre Suid-Afrikaanse digters se werk vergelyk, wat gekenmerk word deur die invloed van gesproke taalvorms wat met ‘n verskeidenhed media in wisselwerking gestel word. Al hierdie digters is geïnteresseerd in die maniere waarop die inherente onstabiliteit van linguistiese aanduiers ontgin kan word. In my bespreking van die werk van die Language poets ondersoek ek voorbeelde van hul gedrukte digkuns wat die leser voor taalfragmente te staan bring wat nie volgens die gewone reëls van sintaks georganiseer is nie. Die gebrek aan ‘n geïndividualiseerde liriese subjek, waarom hierdie fragmente ‘n samehangendheid sou kon kry, noop die leser om haar eie verbindings tussen woorde, klanke en frases te maak. Op ‘n soortgelyke wyse identifiseer ek verskeie aspekte wat die deursigtige versending van taaluitinge in die werk van sekere Suid-Afrikanse performance poets belemmer. Hierdie gedigte kan eerder gelees word as ‘n interrogasie van die proses waardeur die samestelling van die subjek in taal geskied. In hierdie gedigte bewoon die ―ek‖ vlietend ‘n verskeidenheid verskuiwende subjek-posisies. Die wisselwerking van verskillende media dra ook by tot die vermenigvuldiging van subjek-posisies, en loop uit op ‘n performatiewe uitbeelding van die destabilisering van die digterlike ―self.‖ Digters en performers is tot ‘n mate vry om met die vertroebelingsmoontlikhede van taal te eksperimenteer. Omdat die taal-aktiwiteite van digters en performers gewoonlik binne die orde van simboliese of metaforiese taal val, kan hul eksperimentering met die nie-kommunikatiewe oormaat van taal binne hierdie raamwerk verstaan word. Hierdie oormaat kan egter nie binne die orde van letterlike of forensiese taal geakkommodeer word nie. Ten slotte voer ek aan dat ‘n fokus op die materialiteit van taal alternatiewe verstaansraamwerke moontlik maak, waardeur ons begrip van die verhouding tussen taal, subjektiwiteit en representasie in die Suid-Afrikaanse publieke diskoers verbreed kan word. In my slothoofstuk oorweeg ek wat gebeur as die kwessies wat deur die bogenoemde performatiewe taal-aktiwiteite opgeroep word – vrae rondom die self en die subjek, outoriteit en representasie – binne ‘n forensiese raamwerk na die diskoers van getuienis oorgedra word

Full textThis mini-thesis makes an argument for the significance of a female-dominated hidden tradition of experimental ethnographic writing in British social anthropology. It argues that the women anthropologists who experimented with creative forms of ethnography were doubly marginalised: first as women in an androcentric male canon in British social anthropology and American cultural anthropology, and second as creative writers whose work has been consistently undervalued in sombre scholarly circles. The study proposes that Hilda Beemer Kuper (1911-1995) and Edith Turner (1921-2016) should be regarded as significant in a still unexcavated literary tradition or subgenre with Anglo-American anthropology. It showcases the narrative craft of Kuper through a detailed textual analysis of her two most accomplished experimental ethnographies A Witch in My Heart (written in 1954, performed in 1955, and published in siSwati in 1962 and English in London in 1970) and A Bite of Hunger (written in 1958 and published in America in 1965). I highlight Kuper‟s multiple literary techniques in evoking of the fraught position of young Swazi co-wives, modern women and women accused of witchcraft in a patriarchal culture with particular attention to her gifts in creating dramatic plots, complex characters and dialogue rich in vernacular metaphor and proverbs. It then celebrates the even more experimental creative writing of Edith Turner. While Turner has sometimes been acknowledged for her hidden contributions to the co-production of her deeply loved and more famous husband Victor, she has not been given her due as an experimental ethnographer, also placing the experiences of African women centre-stage. In what she overtly advertised as “female literary style”, Turner‟s belatedly published 1987 novel The Spirit and the Drum. A Memoir of Africa is analysed with meticulous attention to the literary techniques by which she seeks to explore an anthropology of experience and empathy. These accomplished but under-acknowledged women creative writers sought to explore what they both explicitly conceived of as gestures of humanist cross-cultural engagement.

Full textKonventionella kylvätskor är kända för att vara dyra, förorenande och en icke-hållbar del av nutidens tillverkningsprocesser. Trenden inom industrin rör sig åt miljö- och hälsovänlig teknik. Kryogenisk kylning är en innovativ och hållbar metod som kan ersätta konventionella oljebaserade kylvätskor under olika förhållanden. Metoden har redan visat sig ha en stor potential i olika bearbetningsomständigheter, där den presterar lika bra eller bättre än konventionella kylningsstrategier för tillverkning. Största delen av forskningsarbetet som publicerats inom kryogen bearbetning har kretsat kring svarvning, oftast i stål, nickelbaserade legeringar och titanbaserade legeringar. Övrig bearbetning, t.ex. fräsning och borrning har mindre mängd publicerad forskning och lämnar ett stort outforskat område. Även om tekniken har utvecklats under mer än 60 år är den allmänna kunskapen inom ämnet bland bearbetningsspecialister relativt lågt. Potentialen för förbättringar är stor och ytterligare optimering behövs innan generell användning av tekniken kan ske inom industrin. I den första delen av detta arbete presenteras en allsidig “state-of-the-art“ litteraturstudie, med huvudfokus på svarvning, fräsning och borrning. Ett nytt söksystem för publicerade verk om kryogen bearbetning har även utvecklats och designats, detta för att skapa en databas med kunskap för framtida forskning inom ämnet hos Sandvik Coromant, Den andra delen av uppsatsen täcker det experimentella arbetet där som tester utfördes i borrning av metallmatriskomposit med olika kylningsstrategier. Resultaten visade en fördel för CO2 kryogenisk kylning vad gäller precision och ytfinhet, men ett behov av ytterligare optimering av processen var uppenbar.
