Full textAbstract:
'Betting by the Book' details the steps taken in, and results obtained from, an examination of the processes followed, especially in Australia, of those persons who bet on thoroughbred horseracing. The work briefly describes the evolution of the practice of this form of gambling and details the extent of the activity in the Australian nation. Note is made of the obvious limited amount of attention previously given to the topic by academia. Using illustrations of the extent of the complexity and resulting uncertainty of outcome in selecting winning horses the study finds that the consequential behaviour of almost all those who bet is the adoption of a co-ordinated process of selection commonly referred to as a system. As hypothesised the study found three major categories,viz., logical, naive and superstitious. Sub-types of the three categories, devised as a part of the study, are listed and defined. Unexpectedly the work brought to attention the finding that most bettors, even those following logical systems, will, at times, adopt superstitious practices. Examples are provided of logical, yet simple, selection systems that could be beneficially adopted by those persons who would otherwise follow naive and superstitious systems of selection. Finally the study notes the considerable opportunities that exist for the education of bettors.Master of Arts (Hons) (Gambling Studies)

Full textAbstract:
Laura Ingalls Wilder's eight-novel Little House series, published between 1932 and 1943, is among the most acclaimed and controversial examples of modern children's literature. The narrative tells the true story of Wilder's pioneer childhood in the 1870s and 80s, including her family's encounters with American Indians. Recently some scholars have argued that Wilder's depiction of American Indians is derogatory, but examining Wilder's literary devices and contextualizing the story in the eras in which it occurred and was written about reveals a more complex portrayal of Native themes. Biographical information about Wilder suggests that she deliberately crafted her story as she recorded it; such changes afforded opportunities to emphasize her political values and critique mythology associated with America's frontier era. Analyzing the narrative in the context of frontier Kansas, and more specifically as women's frontier literature, reveals the literary uniqueness of the Little House story and highlights fallacies inherent in the premise of Manifest Destiny. As Wilder recorded her memories with the help of her well-known libertarian daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, during the Depression they often emphasized their anti-New Deal politics and cautioned readers about the dangers of buying into "big government" policies. The Little House story also reflects trends of the Golden Age of children's literature which demonstrated respect for children by removing didactic lessons from the literature; thus the Little House texts present the controversial subject of America's frontier history in a manner that allows children to draw their own conclusions about it. Finally, two television versions of the Little House story present didactic, positive lessons about American Indians on the frontier, but diminish the possibility for multiple interpretations of the events inherent in Wilder's original story. In a non-fiction article in The Missouri Ruralist in 1920, Wilder reminded her neighbors that home is "the best place for teaching many things, first and most important of which is how to think for one's self." Wilder's texts offer opportunities for discussing the complex topics associated with frontier history and encourage young readers to think critically about Native issues in the texts--opportunities seldom found in mainstream American storybooks and curriculum.

This thesis seeks to explore, through making.
The object of this making is, as Kahn has said, house. as opposed to a house; or, the house type seen as a generative tool rather than as a singular definitive manifestation of some set of circumstantial needs.
The house is the one intellectual model in architecture which can bring to thinking in design a set of questions in which dwelling in its richest sense can be studied.
Questions of how dwelling is made more possible through the configurations of architecture without the necessity of introducing artificial symbolic structures which cast the physical, material reality of architectural elements into a secondary level of significance, are raised in this thesis through the making of six house types.
The houses are made as a series and are seen as typological structures in which the configuration of possible ways of dwelling are sketched.M. Arch.

Full textAbstract:
During the eighteenth century a trend began for the publication of books devoted to the description of single country house; an early stage in the development of the country house guidebook. A survey of this largely unanalysed genre found it to be a much larger phenomenon than had previously been thought, with a peak in new publications later than has been suggested. The issue of the commission, details of production and uses and distribution of the guidebook are all previously neglected aspects of research. Analysis of these has given a greater insight into the context of production, and has shown the direct involvement of the house owner in many cases. In the secondary literature which does exist on this genre, the bias towards considering the contents of guidebook from the perspective of the tourists' reception, or as an objective document, neglects the huge potential for analysis of the sub-agendas which were involved in these publications. These less overt potential messages included a justification of the country estate in general, as well as more individual markers which related to the house owner himself. This thesis has begun to rectify the lack of research into the guidebook, and to highlight this fruitful source of material on the eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. It has begun the innovative task of looking beyond guidebooks as merely a factual account of the estate, and to acknowledge that their objectivity is in question; the books were often nuanced towards given a particular impression and motivated by specific agendas. The house was represented both as an object of admiration in its own right but also used as a vehicle for the projection and display of the individual qualities and identity of the owner.

This is the first of three parts in the first of three planned novels, collectively called The Great Plains Trilogy, which takes place between 1841 and 1845. Set against such historical events as the Battle of Plum Creek and the Texas Council House Fight, Part One follows Lock (a.k.a. Aidan Plainfield) in 1841, whose wife and daughter were killed by Comanches during the Victoria raid of 1840. Since the raid, Lock has left his life behind, surviving alone in the Great Plains. One morning he discovers that Comanches have stolen his horse, and he sets off to recover it. Along the way, he meets Mr. Pendleton, an Englishman who has been injured by Comanches, and Raymond Wales, a thief who has been mysteriously left to hang in the middle of the woods. Mr. Pendleton and Raymond Wales, each of whom have their own mysterious motivations, join Lock on his journey.Department of English

Объектом исследования в данной работе является серия книг издательского дома «Коммерсантъ» об истории Екатеринбурга. Предметом – концептуальные особенности серии книг ИД «Коммерсантъ». Магистерская диссертация «Концептуальные особенности книжной серии ИД "Коммерсантъ" об истории Екатеринбурга» состоит из введения, двух глав, заключения, приложения и библиографического списка, включающего 74 наименования. В первой главе исследования изучены различные точки зрения на определение серийного издания, книжная серия охарактеризована как вид издания, рассмотрены особенности редакторской подготовки, выявлены основные концептуальные особенности книжной серии, а также проанализированы маркетинговые понятия издательского имиджа и бренда. На основе проведенной исследовательской работы был составлен план анализа серийных изданий. Во второй главе диссертации на основе разработанного плана проведен практический анализ эмпирического материала – книжной серии об истории Екатеринбурга издательского дома «Коммерсантъ-Урал» (далее – ИД «Коммерсантъ»). В результате практического анализа выявлены концептуальные особенности книжной серии ИД «Коммерсантъ», позволяющие выделить данную серию в особый вид серийного издания, который имеет определенные содержательные, структурные, композиционно-художественные и маркетинговые характеристики. Было выявлено, что серия книг как редакторский продукт может выступать инструментом формирования издательского бренда и создавать определенный имидж издательского дома. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы другими издательствами для продвижения собственного издательского бренда или разработки эксклюзивной книжной серии, а также в процессе обучения студентов бакалавриата и магистратуры по специальности «Издательское дело».The aim of the work is to study the conceptual features of the book series of Kommersant Publishing House as an editorial product and a tool for promoting a publishing house in Yekaterinburg. The object of research in this work is a series of books by the Kommersant publishing house on the history of Yekaterinburg. The subject is the conceptual features of a series of books by Kommersant Publishing House. The master's thesis "Conceptual features of the Kommersant Publishing House book series on the history of Yekaterinburg" consists of an introduction, two chapters, a conclusion, an appendix, and a bibliographic list that includes 74 titles. In the first chapter of the study, various points of view on the definition of a serial publication are studied, the book series is characterized as a type of publication, the features of editorial training are examined, the main conceptual features of the book series are identified, and the marketing concepts of the publishing image and brand are analyzed. Based on the research work, a plan for the analysis of serial publications was compiled. In the second chapter of the dissertation, on the basis of the developed plan, a practical analysis of empirical material is carried out - a book series on the history of Yekaterinburg of the Kommersant-Ural publishing house (hereinafter - Kommersant Publishing House). As a result of practical analysis, the conceptual features of the Kommersant Publishing House book series have been identified, which make it possible to distinguish this series in a special type of serial publication, which has certain substantial, structural, compositional, artistic and marketing characteristics. It was revealed that a series of books as an editorial product can act as a tool for forming a publishing brand and create a certain image of a publishing house. The results of the study can be used by other publishers to promote their own publishing brand or to develop an exclusive book series, as well as in the process of training undergraduate and graduate students in the specialty of Publishing.

Clawson, Kevin Leon. ""Come to the Knowledge of Their Redeemer": The Book of Mormon's Message to the House of Israel." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2019. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/8568.
Full textAbstract:
One of the major themes in the Book of Mormon is the promises of the Lord to the house of Israel. Even before Lehi and his family left the promised land, Lehi and Nephi prophesied of the future scattering and gathering of Israel. After the family of Lehi arrived on the Americas, prophets continued to teach about God’s covenants with Israel. The destiny of the house of Israel was a major theme in the books of 1 and 2 Nephi, and also at the end of the Book of Mormon in the teachings of Jesus Christ, Mormon, and Moroni.In Lehi’s prophecy about the house of Israel in 1 Nephi 10, he prophesied that the future remnants of the house of Israel would be scattered and then defined how they would be gathered together again. They would do so by coming to the knowledge of their Lord and Redeemer (see 1 Nephi 10:14, emphasis added). When teaching about the house of Israel, many prophets taught similar principles as Lehi. Additionally, many prophets—including Nephi, Jacob, Alma, Samuel, Jesus Christ, Mormon, and Moroni—alluded to Lehi’s same phrase when they taught about the house of Israel during their own ministries. In the various sermons about the covenants of God with the house of Israel, several prophecies and principles were repeated. All of the major writers on the plates knew that the remnant of Israel would be scattered. They also taught that in the latter days, the gospel would go forth first to the Gentiles, who would in turn gather the scattered remnants of Israel. The instrument and tool by which they would be gathered would be the writings of the Nephite prophets – the Book of Mormon. Most important, the Gentiles and house of Israel would be gathered by coming to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Redeemer. The Book of Mormon prophets understood these teachings and engraved them on the plates to come forth to the world in the latter days. This thesis surveys the teachings of the prophets in the Book of Mormon about the gathering of the house of Israel. It also discusses the allusions and references to Lehi’s prophecy about how the Gentiles and house of Israel will be gathered – by coming to the knowledge of Jesus Christ, their Lord and their Redeemer.

Full textAbstract:
The study has investigated a design intervention to the historically significant industrial precinct of Modderfontein. Modderfontein contains the first dynamite explosives factory in South Africa and is situated 20km northeast of Johannesburg. The area and its old buildings are relatively unknown. Due to the introduction of the Gautrain and the proposed development of the Modderfontein station and surrounds, the area will be densified and become more accessible. The intention of the framework proposed by the author is to activate the Main Street which contains the First Factory Manager’s house and the Dynamite Company Museum. This would be achieved by densifying the village with a series of buildings in clusters that have public, office and residential components. It is proposed that one of the clusters becomes a Book Village. The proposal will adhere to the various guidelines in a sensitive, contemporary manner.Dissertation MArch(Prof)--University of Pretoria, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation comprises a novel and a critical study. It is an exploration of the possible literary and historical representations of the Horne narratives, a collection of documents from the 1857 Indian uprising. Amy Horne, a young woman of mixed European and Indian descent, was a survivor of the massacre at Cawnpore. Converted to Islam and married to an Indian soldier, she spent ten months in captivity with the rebel forces, before returning to British-controlled territory. She subsequently produced several different accounts of her experiences. The critical study is a detailed examination of these narratives, the contexts of their composition and their position within the contemporary historical record. My research, which has included archival reading in India and England, has uncovered both contradictions within the narratives and supporting evidence for their claims. I argue that in order to use such contentious material effectively in fiction, a full recognition of the possibilities of interpretation is vitally important. I further suggest that a close and comparative reading of the narratives, informed by an awareness of Horne’s own cultural and ethnic status within British society, reveals a dissonant relationship with the discourses of Imperial history, and allows a potentially subversive understanding of Horne’s story.

Full textAbstract:
There has been much written on Boethius and his impact on Chaucer's greater known works, such as The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde, yet there has not been much light shone on his other works, namely The Book of the Duchess, The Parliament of Fowls, and The House of Fame, which are a rich mix of medieval conventions and Boethian elements and themes. Such ideas have been explored through the lenses of his five, shorter "Boethian lyrics" - "The Former Age," "Fortune," "Truth," "Gentilesse," and "Lak of Stedfastnesse" - particularly because it is within these five poems that the metafictional narrative approach or framing of Chaucer's Boethiusinfluenced work, through narration and possible consolations, are fleshed out and brought into focus. However, the "Boethian lyrics" are not necessary in the study of the three earlier poems The Book of the Duchess, The Parliament of Fowls, and The House of Fame. Using the convention of the frame tale with the dream vision in these three poems allows for the narrator to be brought to an understanding in each of these texts, strongly suggesting that this approach is something that Chaucer came across in Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy. To merely go through and catalogue all Boethian elements as lifted directly from Consolation would accomplish nothing but a catalog of similarities. In that same vein, to analyze the "Boethian poems" would also be treading over familiar scholarly ground. In examining an intermediary group of texts as a bridge between Boethius's classical philosophy and Chaucer's courtly poetry, particularly The Book of the Duchess, The Parliament of Fowls and The House of Fame, this more concretely shows the extent of Boethius's coloring injected into Chaucer's writings from early in his writing career. Through close readings and secondary outside research, I am confident that another chapter of Chaucerian scholarship, one that has rarely been explored, much less written, can be added.

Full textAbstract:
The present study argues that a series of programmatic additions were made to the oracles concerning the nations in Isa 13-23 during the late-exilic period by the same circle of writers who were responsible for Isa 40-55. These additions were made to create continuity between the ancient oracles against the nations from the Isaiah tradition and the future fate of the same nations as the late-exilic redactor(s) foresaw. The additions portray a two-sided vision concerning the nations. One group of passages (14:1-2; 14:32b; 16:1-4a; 18:7) depicts a positive turn for certain nations while the other group of passages (14:26-27; 19:16-17; 23:8-9, 11) continues to pronounce doom against the remaining nations. This double-sided vision is set out first in Isa 14 surrounding the famous taunt against the fallen tyrant. 14:1-2, before the taunt, paints the broad picture of the future return of the exiles and the attachment of the gentiles to the people of Israel. After the taunt and other sayings of YHWH against his enemies, 14:26-27 extends the sphere of the underlying theme of 14:4b-25a, namely YHWH's judgement against boastful and tyrannical power(s), to all nations and the whole earth. The two sides of this vision are then applied accordingly to the rest of the oracles concerning nations in chs 13-23. To the nations that have experienced similar disasters as the people of Israel, words of hope in line with 14:1-2 were given. To the nations that still possessed some prominence and reasons to be proud, words of doom in line with 14:26-27 were decreed. Only later in the post-exilic period, for whatever reason, be it changed international political climate or further spread of the Jewish diaspora, was the inclusive vision of 14:1-2 extended even to the nations that were not so favourably viewed by our late-exilic redactor (19:18-25; 23:15-18).

Full textAbstract:
Les années 1945-1960 correspondent en France à un moment important de réoralisation de la poésie : celle-ci est diffusée à la radio, à la télévision, sur disques, dans les cabarets. Les théâtres voient quant à eux se développer, en plus des spectacles poétiques, des tentatives de poèmes scéniques. La « question du livre » et de ses dehors se révèle ainsi centrale dans l’imaginaire et les débats poétiques de cette époque : il s’agit tantôt de repenser les modes de communication du poème, d’ouvrir le domaine poétique au grand public, d’explorer les possibilités offertes par les nouvelles techniques d’enregistrement et de diffusion des sons, tantôt d’user de l’espace médiatique comme d’un lieu de performance poétique. Ce travail, qui rassemble un grand nombre d’archives écrites et audiovisuelles, dresse un état des lieux de ces médiations orales de la poésie de 1945 aux années 1960 en France et propose, à travers l’étude détaillée de diverses formes de « poèmes hors du livre », de réévaluer la place et le rôle de ces pratiques dans l’histoire de la poésie du XXe siècleBetween 1945 and 1960, French poetry tended to re-explore its oral roots with radio and television broadcasting, recording and live performance. Theatres developed, aside from poetical performances, some attempts for staged poems. The “question of the book” in its relation to other media turned out to be central in the poetical imagination and debates of the time: some endeavoured to rethink the communication modes of poems, to open the poetical field to a wider public, to explore the possibilities offered by new recording and sound broadcasting techniques, others tried to use the media as a poetical performance space. This dissertation, which collects many written and audiovisual archives, surveys the oralisation of French poetry between 1945 and the 1960s and attempts to reassess, through the detailed study of diverse forms of “poems outside the book”, the importance and the role of those practices in twentieth century poetry history

-ink- ink is a small independent publishing house, that is aiming to publish student-written literature with graphic design and illustrations made by young designers and artists. Main goal of the publishing house is to support, execute and spread projects of young, not yet estabilished authors and artists and thus develop the contemporary art scene. The visual identity of the publishing house is left open, it is going to be created in time by the books that are going to be published by ink. The logo is often used as a background to posters, or a stamp over photographs. I'm letting the content to speak for it's brand, not the logo. I created business cards, bookmarks, a stamp, wrapping papers that are used for parcels as well as a background for posters, and stickers. Novel Devil Novel Devil is a first book published by ink. Author of the book is Jan Smutný, recent graduate of Faculty of Fine arts in Brno. Illustration and the overall design of the book are made by me. The design is inspired by gothic books written in textura or bastarda and illustrated with woodcuts. My aim was to create a book clearly referencing this visuality, but not a „retro“ or a historicist book. I tried to create a classical book with a modern twist. That's why I chose new, modern typefaces Enigma and Lapture and the illustrations are just vector lines. Because of the theme I work only with black and and background white colour. The book was published in 200 copies.

Nella prima parte del presente lavoro si indaga l’attività del Centro Culturale Charles Péguy di Milano dalla fondazione nel 1964 alla contestazione nel 1968. Il Centro era nato da giovani laureati che avevano fatto parte di Gioventù Studentesca. Alcuni di essi nel 1966 fondarono anche la casa editrice Jaca Book, a cui è dedicata la seconda parte dell’elaborato. Attraverso l’analisi dell’attività culturale del Centro Péguy e delle pubblicazioni firmate da alcuni dei membri dello stesso si ricostruisce l’approccio tenuto nei confronti di alcuni dei temi più problematici degli anni immediatamente precedenti il Sessantotto come il rapporto con i comunisti, l’interpretazione del Concilio e la recezione della cultura neo-marxista. Attraverso l’analisi del catalogo di Jaca Book si è potuto analizzare l’evolversi di questi temi negli anni della contestazione e il loro progressivo sviluppo nell’ambito della politica, dell’economia e della teologia.The first part of this work investigates the activity of the Charles Péguy Cultural Center in Milan from its foundation in 1964 to the 1968 protests. That center was established by some young people at the end of their university path that during the Fifties and the Sixties participated to Gioventù Studentesca. In 1966 some of the members of the center Charles Péguy begun a publishing house called Jaca Book to whom is dedicated the second part of the thesis. Through the analysis of the cultural activity of Péguy Cultural Center and the articles published by its members on some periodicals this work retraces the approach they had to some of the most problematic themes of the years that prepared the Sixty-eight as the relationship with the communists, the interpretation of the Vatican II and the reception of the neo-marxist culture. Inspecting the Jaca Book catalog was possible to analyze the evolution of that themes during the years of the student protests until 1975 and their progressive development in politics, economics and theology.

Full textAbstract:
Åtta semi-strukturerade djupintervjuer genomfördes i syfte att kartlägga svenska formgivares och förlagsanställdas strategiska och kreativa arbetsprocess samt olika attityder vid arbetet med praktverk och coffee table-böcker. Dessa böckers termer och definitioner diskuterades även, samt boktypens förut-sättningar och utmaningar på marknaden. I denna rapport presenteras funna teman rörande dessa tankemönster och attity-der, samt en generell beskrivning av arbetsprocessen. Produktionen av coffee table-böcker och praktverk fanns vara komplex på grund av att den involverade många personer, tog lång tid i anspråk, var kost-sam och hade relativt små vinstmarginaler vilket därmed kunde förenas med vissa risker. Respondenterna upplevde generellt arbetet som spännande, roligt och givande.Studien belyser även förekomsten av en viss diskrepans vad gäller associationerna till termerna ”coffee table-bok” och ”praktverk”. Coffee table-böcker ansågs främst av de förlagsanställda ha ett innehåll av lägre kvalitet jämfört med det hos ett praktverk.Semi-structured, in-depth interviews with eight Swedish graphic designers and employees at publishing houses were carried out with the purpose of mapping the strategic and creative work process of producing Coffee table books and Luxury works (Swedish praktverk), as well as respondents attitudes towards these processes.The three main steps identified in the process are presented and compared to results in previous studies. The production of these books was found to be complex due to the number of people involved, the time required, the costs involved and the relatively small profit margins. All of which increase the exposure to certain risks. The re-spondents however found the work to be exciting, enjoyable and fulfilling.In addition to this the study discovered the inconsistency between the definition of “Coffee table book” and “Luxury work” and what was found to be the com-monly accepted understanding of these. This applied particularly to the term “Coffee table book,” where some respondents associated the term to a lower standard of literature. The terms and definitions of these books will be dis-cussed as well as the market condition described by the respondents.

Full textAbstract:
Reconnue pour son rayonnement littéraire dans "L'Eloge" d'Erasme de 1515, la ville de Sélestat doit sa notoriété à son Ecole Latine. Elle a formé nombre de ses compatriotes qui sont devenus de fins lettrés dans le contexte de l'éclosion de l'humanisme rhénan.L'Ecole Latine de Sélestat s'est développée en même temps que l'humanisme rhénan auquel elle a participé aux XVe et XVe siècles.L'objet de notre étude nous a permis d'entrer au coeur de cette institution scolaire et des retombées qu'elle a eues sur les lettrés de son époque.Composée d'un ensemble de sources disparates, l'enquête n'a pas été facile dans un premier temps. Les difficultés de traitement des sources ont conduit à de nombreuses interrogations auxquelles nous avons essayé de répondre. La mise en perspective avec d'autres écoles latines a été indispensable permettant de replacer Sélestat dans un contexte scolaire étendu à l'Empire. La comparaison est devenue notre outil méthodologique dans un premier temps. Nous nous sommes ensuite intéressée aux méthodes pédagogiques et aux modes d'accès au savoir. L'Ecole Latine sélestadienne s'inscrit-elle dans la pérennité d'un enseignement médiévale ou est-elle novatrice? L'étude fine des cahiers d'écolier nous a permis d'en suivre l'application.Les modes d'accès au savoir ont été abordés à partir du rôle des acteurs du milieu scolaire dans la constitution du fonds de la bibliothèque paroissiale, mettant en lumière le passage du manuscrit à l'imprimé dans le contexte du développement de l'humanismeIn 1515, the Latin School of Selestat was a famous school. His development begins with the German humanism at the XVe and XVIe centuries.We wanted to know why this institution was so attractiv. We compare it with others in Germany at this time. Then we wanted to know if the methods were teaching like during the Middle Age or if the methods were modern. The role of the teachers and pupils is interested two. We study the library into know what they did to have so much first print books

Even though the term corporate inversion has been heard globally for decades, it has only become more prevalent in the United States during the past two years. This case study examines two United States companies that recently had very high profile and public corporate inversion experiences. Complicated tax laws and high tax rales have long eroded the ability of United States companies to remain competitive on a global scale. During the past two years, tax reform has been elevated to the Presidential and Congressional levei. Because these reform efforts have stalled, however, and in the constant search for ways to become more competitive and profitable, United States dorniciled companies have begun to more aggressively explore corporate inversion. This case study of Walgreens Alliance Boots and Mylan N.V., is undertaken because while the reasons to pursue a corporate inversion for both companies were very similar and done during the same time period, the internai process and final outcome were dramatically different. The other dynamic studied is the role both internai and externai politics had on these two cornpanies and how they influenced the decisions made by the executives. Lastly, the Obama Administration continues to threaten so called 'corporate America' to remain in the country through regulatory pressure, but this has not stopped companies frorn pursing corporate inversions. Legislatively, attempts at corporate tax reform, another way to encourage Untied States companies to remain, have also failed. I will not try to determine i f a corporate inversion is the right path for a company to take. I am examining how the rise o f the practice o f corporate inversions has been elevated in boardroorns, on Wall Street, in Congress and at the White House during the past two years.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse se propose d’étudier des pratiques poétiques dans et hors du livre à partir de parcours de poètes « passés » par les éditions Al Dante. Il s’agissait de questionner en particulier la notion de « performance », souvent réduite à une dimension scénique. Ou encore l’idée d’avant-garde, trop souvent limitée à une histoire politique close. L’idée d’avant-garde n’apparaît plus comme principe de structuration du groupe, mais comme spectralité agissante, conduisant à mêler des enjeux politiques — critique des institutions, critique de la langue dominante, contestations des places assignées par la culture — avec des enjeux esthétiques. Il est donc question de traduction poétique comme actualisation de la situation politique, et de transmédiation.L’approche stylistique a été progressivement supplantée par une approche médiologique pour problématiser des pratiques hétérogènes. La spécificité de la maison d’édition Al Dante nous permet de replacer le livre dans un écosystème poétique plus général, où le livre n’est plus la seule finalité, mais la médiation entre un processus de création et des manifestations publiques. Aussi peut-on lire ce moment contemporain non seulement comme l’émergence de thématiques dominantes, mais aussi comme une mise en crise de la centralité du livre et de son économie. La pratique des éditions Al Dante nous a donc amenés à défendre une « théorie du geste éditorial » qui ne se réduit pas à la mise en page d’un manuscrit, la production d’un livre et sa commercialisation, mais amène parfois à la création de livres qui ne possédaient pas d’espace éditorial. Repousser les frontières de l’édition, penser la spécificité du livre de « poésie-action » n’est pas sans paradoxes : déstructuration de la linéarité des discours, reconfiguration de l’espace de la page, adaptation spécifique des formats des livres et des polices de caractères. Ces pratiques ont pour enjeu la dimension performative du livre. En cela, on participe d’une manière renouvelée à une « performance typographique »This doctoral thesis offers to study poetic practices in and out of the book from poets’ itineraries published by the Al Dante publishing house. The thesis is questioning the performance's notion, most often reduced to its scenic's dimension, but also the avant-garde's idea, too often limited to a political history which has ended. The avant-garde notion doesn't appear anymore as the element structuring the group but as an acting spectrality, leading to mix political issues - criticism of the institutions, criticism of the dominant language, challenges the places assigned by culture - with aesthetic issues. It is therefore a question of poetic translation as actualization of the political situation, and of transmediation. The stylistic approach has been gradually supplanted by a mediological approach to problematize heterogeneous practices. The Al Dante publishing house specificities allow us to see the book in a more general poetic ecosystem, where the book is no longer the only purpose, but the mediation between a process of creation and public events. So we can read this contemporary moment not only as the emergence of dominant themes, but also as a crisis of the book’s centrality and its economy. The Al Dante publishing house practices has led us to defend a theory of “editorial gesture” that cannot be reduced to the layout of manuscript or the production of a book and its marketing, but sometimes leads to the creation of books that didn’t find an editorial space. To push the boundaries of edition, to think the specificity poetry-action’s book is raising paradoxes: the disintegration of the linearity of the speeches, the reconfiguration of the page’s space, the specific adaptation of the books forms and fonts. These practices concern the book’s performative dimension. So it participates in a renewed way to a "typographic performance"

Full textAbstract:
L'étude de livre d'heures et de prières d'un ensemble familial précis, sous la facette de dépôts de la mémoire et de l'identité personnelle et lignagère est le but de cette thèse. Celle-ci se base sur l'analyse de trente livres à caractère religieux (livres d'heures et de prières principalement) qui appartinrent aux membres d'un même groupe familial étendu dans le temps (du XIVe au XVe siècle), à savoir l'entourage familial de Catherine de Clèves, duchesse de Gueldre (1417-1476). Ce groupe familial constitue, d'une part, une communauté lignagère, soutenue par de forts liens de parenté et d'autre part, une communauté dévotionnelle. Ces liens articulent l'identité ainsi que la culture de l'individu, s'insèrent et se projettent dans les livres d'heures, instruments privilégiés de la dévotion privée, qui en deviennent de véritables dépôts et véhicules de l'identité et de la mémoire de leur propriétaire. Notre étude s'organise en trois parties, cherchant d'abord la définition et la caractérisation de l'ensemble familial, auquel appartenait Catherine de Clèves, particulièrement marqué par l'influence de la maison de Bourgogne, passant, ensuite, par la définition du corpus de manuscrits, pour entrer, finalement, dans l'analyse des formes qui permettent de considérer le livre d'heures comme un locus d'identité et de mémoire (locus memoriae)The possibility to study Books of Hours and Prayer Books of a determined family group like deposits of memory and personal and lineage identity is the main goal of this thesis which is centered in the analisys of thirty books of religious carácter, being them mainly books of hours and prayer books, that belonged to members of the same family group extended through time (XIVth and XVth Centuries), that is to say, the family entourage of Catherine of Cleves, Duchess of Guelders (1417-1476). This family group is articulated as an ancestral community held by strong bonds of kinship as well as a devotional community. These bonds, that articulate the identity and the culture of the individual, are by different ways projected in the books of hours, a privileged instrument of private devotion. In this way, these ones, are constituted in actual deposits and vehicles of identity and the memory of their possessor. The present study is organized in three parts which progressively advance towards the definition and characterization of the family group to which belonged Catherine of Cleves, particularly marked by the influence of the House of Burgundy, passing through the definition of the corpus of manuscripts to enter, finally, in the analysis of the differents ways that permits to consider book of hours as a locus of identity and memory (locus memoriæ)

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail a pour ambition de faire mieux connaître l'importance de la bibliophilie dans la création littéraire de 1830 à 1920. De la mise en scène du bibliophile, à la mise en livre d'une poétique, étudier les pratiques littéraires bibliophiles, c'est éclairer des processus d'écriture et la production conséquente de livres dont la matérialité fait sens. Une première partie étudie la transformation de la bibliophilie d’une collection comme une autre à une méthode d’écriture, par l’analyse des origines d’une pratique bibliophile littéraire et de ses figures comme Charles Nodier ou le Bibliophile Jacob. Entre pratique en société et lyrisme de l’objet, la bibliophilie se définit peu à peu au miroir de sa propre caricature. Une seconde partie s’intéresse à la bibliophilie comme source littéraire et mythique : entre bibliothèque réelle et bibliothèque imaginaire, la bibliophilie – « véritable machine à exploiter le temps » pour Pierre Louÿs – transforme en profondeur le rapport à la matérialité du livre chez des écrivains comme Marcel Schwob, Remy de Gourmont ou Alfred Jarry. Une troisième partie s'intéresse plus particulièrement à l’objet livre et à ses conditions de production et de réception. Des expériences de Mallarmé et de Charles Cros à celles d’Apollinaire et de Blaise Cendrars il semble bien qu’à une poétique nouvelle doive correspondre un objet livre nouveau – entre expérimentation (typo)graphique et tradition bibliophileThis work aims to help understand the importance of bibliophilia within literary creation between 1830 and 1920. From the publicising of the bibliophile to the publishing of poetry, to study bibliophilic literary practices is to shed light on both the writing process and the resulting production of books whose materiality is meaningful. A first part studies the beginnings of a bibliophilic literary practice and its figures, such as Charles Nodier or Bibliophile Jacob, to highlight the evolution of bibliophilia from a mere collection among others to an original writing process. Torn between social experience and lyricism of the object, bibliophilia progressively defines itself in response to its own caricature. A second part considers bibliophilia as a literary and mythical source: bringing real and imaginary libraries together, bibliophilia deeply changes the relationship to the materiality of books amongst writers such as Marcel Schwob, Remy de Gourmont or Alfred Jarry. A third part takes a closer look at the book as an object and at the conditions of its production and reception. From Mallarmé and Charles Cros' experiences to those of Apollinaire and Blaise Cendars, it appears that a new type of literature needs a new type of book, the combined result of (typo)graphic experimentation and bibliophilic tradition

This study investigates the lexical coverage and word frequency of children book series, Magic Tree House, to understand if they are appropriate reading materials for EFL elementary students to reach adequate reading comprehension. The series of books are divided into two sections: book 1-28, and book 29-55. Book 1-28 are considered the most popular and original, which will be explored in this study by using corpus analysis programs, AntConc and AntWordProfiler. Also, a word level list of BNC/COCA word list and a MOE 1,200 word list will be used in the study. Major findings are summarized as follows: (1) There are 55% of function words and 45% of content words in the Magic Tree House text; (2) The lexical coverage by MOE 1,200 word families list is found to reach 79.53% ; (3) With the use of BNC/ COCA word list, it takes 4,000 words to reach 95% coverage, and 7,000 words to reach 98% coverage; (4) There are 1,220 words which appear in the reading materials more than 12 times. The results of this corpus-based research provide valuable implications for primary and secondary school EFL teachers to choose suitable reading materials for learners.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to describe the uniqueness of the Baobab publishing house books for pre-school children and to find out what is the opinion of parents and pre- school teachers on selected books from this publishing house, on their content and on their graphic design. In the theoretical part I describe and explain the basic concepts of the reading literacy. I also devote to the contemporary situation in the book market for children, especially pre- school children, mostly non-readers. I focus on a small alternative publishing house called Baobab, its book production for children in general, and on its awarded books. In the empirical part I interviewed parents (41 returned questionnaires altogether) about their awareness and opinion on the Baobab publishing house and on selected books published by Baobab, namely Jak zvířataspí (How Animals Sleep), Šmalcova ABECEDA (Šmalec's Alphabet) and Z domu a zahrady (From the House And the Garden). I also interviewed 7 pre- school teachers to find out about their awareness of the Baobab publishing house and about their opinion on the selected books. Unlike the parents, all teachers had known the publishing house. It was proved that although the publishing house was awarded several prizes for its children's books (especially for the graphic design), the...

ABSTRACT The long-running plight of Taiwan's local cultural museum is generally “lack of human resources”, “lack of funding” and “no one is interested”. However, the local community has the humanities activities, cultural connotation, local resources, cultural landscape, local industries and other resources can be used, then, why the local cultural museum of management problems and difficulties remain? The key point is the lack of links. This study combines the visit to the Yunlin story house, the experience of community picture book-“Read Yunlin, to travel with the story.” Discuss the relationship between “narrative management” and “local culture museum”. The local cultural museum must be operated through narrative management, establish a link to the social actor-network and using strategies to translate the interests of the actors and reinforce the links. So that local culture museum in the local not only to show the story, but also in the local development of more continuity narrative. Thus, to develop the new possibilities and vitality of the local cultural museum, hoping that the local cultural museum can become the power of the rotation of the place.

Following the development and policy promotion of the cultural creative industry worldwide in recent years, and to broach from the construct of station economic policy, the objective in the development strategy and measures of Taiwan’s creative life industry lies in responding to the development of the world economic trend. And by sifting through Taiwan’s local industries for their sustainability, innovativeness and educational significance, the story house have emerged as a feature industry offering core knowledge with innovative, foresight thinking, bestowing a high quality of aesthetics embodying in the product, services, activity and venue, drawing the children to listen to the story and be enchanted with the story. In the 21st century of a digital high-tech era, little seems to have been done by the industry operators to apply and explore the high-tech strategy. In light of which, the study attempts to devise a high-tech strategy by adopting the emerging technology of the “augmented reality” and focusing on the industry’s characteristics, with which to explore how the children’s picture book scan be a feature teaching medium for the industry by integrating it with augmented reality. The study attempts to devise a strategy in applying the augmented reality in children’s picture books by first analyzing and studying pertinent literature on augmented reality, the creative life industry, children’s behaviors, teaching mediums and picture books, and next utilizing the field surveys and the development of an augmented reality system, through which to develop augmented reality-oriented children’s picture books. An evaluation is then conducted with the children, their parents and the industry operators through the storytelling of the augmented reality-based picture books, aided with the experiment, observation, questionnaire and interview methods, to explore where the value of the development of augmented reality-based children’s picture books lies. A summation of the study findings shows, 1.
