Kyrchanoff, Maksym W. "RUSSIAN HISTORY AS AN INVENTED TRADITION IN THE PROSE BYVLADIMIR SHAROV:an image of an escapeas of a return and an image of an exile as of a traumatic “procession” and “crusade” in the novels “Be Like Children” and “Return to Egypt”."

Full textAbstract:
The author analyzes the literary heritage of the Russian postmodernistwriter Vladimir Sharov in the context of travel images. The articleconsidersnovels “Be like children” and “Return to Egypt”. The author believes that the writer actualized in his texts the problems of movement as of a social and cultural journey,like trauma, nostalgia and forgetting. The real and imaginary travels of characters in the prose by V.Sharov can be described in the categories of absurdity and meaninglessness. Travel images do not actualize spatial migrations, but they visualize contradictions and paradoxes of thedevelopment of Russian identity as a deformed one. The author analyzes travels in V. Sharov’s prose as invented cultural traditions. The travel discourse in the texts byV. Sharov became the result of the development of modern in Russia that emergedas modern before modern and modern without modern. The author of the article assumes that the travel in V.Sharov’s prose gradually loses its connection with reality, transforming into a travel as a construct and a travel as memory. The forced travels of his prosecharactersbecame imaginary pilgrimages and attempts of the Russian people, regardedas a hostage of Russian history,to escape. The writer imagined Russian history as a cyclical social and cultural journey. The motifs of travel in V.Sharov’s prose are presented in a variety of forms, including a novel in letters, a traditional postmodern novel, and an imitation of hagiographic texts.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) is a new technology used in prenatal testing (PT) that capitalizes on genomic platforms to transform DNA fragments in the blood of pregnant women into information about the genome of a foetus. Since its market introduction in 2011, it has travelled around the globe with remarkable speed. This article engages with the emergence of NIPT in and around Vienna, the capital city of Austria, to explore why and how this technology could travel so quickly in practice. Based on a qualitative analysis of interviews, documents, and field notes, it argues, first, that NIPT could travel so quickly because it travelled as ‘adaptable boxes’ that added on to different ‘local worlds of prenatal testing (PT)’, without disrupting them. Second, in so doing, NIPT could travel on a moral and material ground, or an ‘imaginary of PT’, built in the past. Third, the article argues that elements of this imaginary were also mobilized by commercial pioneers of NIPT, who ‘infrastructurized’ extant values, practices, and networks among biomedical professionals. Thus, various actors converged in mobilizing moral and material elements of an imaginary, transforming them into an infrastructure that facilitated the travels of NIPT, while also shaping its use.

Full textAbstract:
Travel journalists cannot know each traveller for whom they write, so they must imagine what a reader wants. The subsequent journalism influences how tourists travel and engage with a foreign country and its inhabitants. This article uses an independent/connected framework of tourist behaviour to identify how travel journalists imagine their readers’ interests. Through content analysis of texts in newspapers from Asia and the West, we find that the reader is more often imagined as independent and adventurous than connected and concerned with tourist sights. However, the latter were more common in Asia, which suggests that travel writers across the globe imagine readers differently. It suggests that in an increasingly globalised world, the post-colonial power dynamic that has been a stalwart of scholarly thought on travel writing may be outdated and could be more usefully replaced by one that considers the financial privilege of tourism, seen in texts from both hemispheres.

Full textAbstract:
In the autobiographical prose of Eugenio Montale and Tommaso Landolfi , the theme of travel plays a signifi cant role. The development and refraction of this theme is directly related to the concept of home, which is different for these writers. Tommaso Landolfi , leading the life of a hermit in a small provincial town, seeks to travel to large centres full of social life. Eugenio Montale, who was less attached to the family nest, in the latter part of his life lives in Milan. Tired of the burden of fame and the noise of the big city, he sets off for quiet secluded places unlike Italy, where he can fi nally rest. In the works of both writers, travel is closely related to the theme of the game. Tommaso Landolfi , who sees the meaning of human life in the game, combines his travels with «forays into gambling», that is, to the casino. Roulette becomes an opportunity for him to communicate with a higher power, to receive answers to existential questions that torment him. Eugenio Montale travels in disguise, changing masks. In his imaginary game world, he animates objects and makes friends with them. For both writers in their travel, a special role is played by inscriptions and signs, which are perceived by them as secret messages.

HISTORICAL AND POLITICAL JOURNEY TO MONTENEGRO BY VIALLA DE SOMMIERES FOUNDING BOOK OF A PARADOXICAL IMAGINARY OF A JOURNEY TO MONTENEGRO In 1820, Vialla de Sommières published in Paris his book Historical and political journey to Montenegro. He was Commander of the Second division of Illyrian army in Ragusa from 1812 to 1813. Later, this work was used by many 19th century French travel writers as a model source for their own observations on Montenegro. Naturally, travelling to an unknown country implies an element of discovery. By analysing de Sommières’s text and the works by other French travel writers (P. Loti, X. Marmier, H. Avelot, J. de la Nézière, F. Lenorment, Ch. Yriarte, M. Sermet, l’abbé P. Bauron) we have been able to situate descriptions of journeys to and throughout Montenegro, which express an effect of surprise or discovery, and we have classified our findings in four sections: difficult access to astonishing landscapes, the cult of freedom, the character of Montenegrins, and the position of women. Thus, a journey to Montenegro becomes a kind of a return to a distant, precarious and, even, timeless epoch. In this sense, Vialla de Sommières’s work constitutes a founding work of a paradoxical imaginary of a journey to Montenegro, as the analysis of this travel story proposes.

This article focuses the relationship between journeys and photographs especially among anthropologists who travel. Having travelled to the Upper Negro River as an advisor of a PhD student, I discuss what digital photographs may mean in a context where verbal communication is impossible. Real or imaginary journeys are a source of images, reports, or travel logs in which it is difficult to discern what is real and what is fiction. After discussing a few famous scientific and literary journeys, the article focuses on some anthropological journeys and concludes that images produced by anthropologists are a result of trained intuition, a sensitive gaze, and memories of former travels. The article includes photographic essays that incorporate pictures I took in February 2012 among the Hupd'äh, in the Upper Negro River region.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the imagined social distinction of young Asian travelers. Factors such as culture, language, and distinction were found to influence the development of young Asians. A disparity in the impact of these factors on personal development is evident in the comparison of two groups of travelers, with and without prior travel experience to Western countries. This supports the claim that social distinction is imaginary. The study advances the understanding of travel as a social phenomenon by operationalizing and verifying the imagination of social distinction in the context of travel. Practical implications suggest that tourism professionals might engage with these lucrative travel segments.

Full textAbstract:
A visitor to Carol Pettigrew's grade-three class in North Vancouver, Canada, might be forgiven for skepticism when told that a mathematics class is about to start. The children, most wearing sheets pinned around them like tunics, have their heads down on their desks. Music plays while the teacher's voice quickly leads them back through the highlights of two millennia of history. Finally the music stops and Pettigrew announces, “And here we are, in an Ancient Greek school.” Unlike other imaginary journeys that elementary students take, the main purpose of these “Time-Travel Days” is to learn about the mathematics and mathematicians of previous ages. The children revel in the experience.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the use of travel metaphors in French periodical reviews of non-fiction travelogues at the turn of the eighteenth and the nineteenth century. The French periodical press took an increasing interest in travel literature in this period, forming an important instance of mediation between travel writers and the reading public. In travel-book reviews, journalists would frequently make use of a rhetoric aimed at presenting the periodical text as a double co-experience: an imaginary travel in the wake of the travel writer and a ‘travel’ through the journalist’s own reading experience. The article shows how this metaphor appears as a diverse rhetorical device that served different functions within the periodical text. Clearly aimed at engaging the reader in the text, the metaphor can also be read as conveying a meta-discourse that highlights the reviewers’ appropriation and remediation of the travelogue. The article analyses occurrences of the travel metaphor in reviews taken from a varied set of periodicals – journals, advertisers, and newspapers – in order to shed light on how the French periodical press operated in retransmitting literary travel experiences in a golden age of non-fiction travel writing.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is centered around two related questions: How does literature contribute to the creation of identity? How does narrative locate individuals in the world? It studies how both individual and ethnic identity is shaped by the imagined landscapes encountered by the protagonists of the Greek novel over the course of their journeys. In this dissertation, I develop a model for reading the protagonists' travels across the Mediterranean as an integral part of the genre's narrative strategy. I begin by tracing the novels’ conceptual geographies of the Mediterranean world and the relationship between geographical movement and narrative. The core of my project examines three aspects of the imaginary worlds encountered by the novels’ protagonists: exotic animals, the relationship between humans and their natural landscapes, and exotic societies, customs, and religions. My study ends in Meroë, in the tenth and final book of Heliodoros’ Aithiopika. Meroë is a terminus in two senses: located on the edge of the known world, it is the most exotic of any place visited in the extant novels; it also represents the undoing of exoticism. Heliodoros’ novel describes a gradual process in the course of which Meroë becomes a Greek cultural enclave in an alien land, one that is parallel to, and associated with, Delphi, the religious center of the Hellenic world. Using literary and epigraphic sources alongside ancient visual media and archaeological evidence from Greco-Roman and Egyptian contexts throughout this study, I rethink the relationship between identity, narrative, and the exoticism in the novels. I argue that through their descriptions of wide-ranging travel and exotic locales, the novels reflect a multiplicity of individual ways to be Greek and the many models against which an individual’s Hellenic identity can define itself. The ancient novel is therefore an important expression of Greek identity in the Roman Imperial period.<br>The Classics

Propôs-se investigar nesta pesquisa de que modo os autores europeus no período moderno conceituaram e representaram o harém islâmico. Para tanto, foi examinado um conjunto de narrativas de viagem produzidas entre os fins do século XVI e o século XVIII, além de dicionários e enciclopédias da mesma época. Aquelas eram resultado das viagens de europeus com perfis e projetos distintos para o Império Otomano, para a Pérsia e para o Norte da África, cujos relatos foram publicados originalmente em língua inglesa e francesa. Dentre os dezesseis relatos de viagem principais analisados aqui, o último deles, publicado em 1791, descrevia a experiência de um médico inglês em dois haréns do Reino de Marrocos. Diante disso, o debate sobre os pressupostos médicos europeus em contato com as práticas médicas mouras recebeu especial atenção. Após o exame deste cenário textual, e das indicações sobre a luxúria característica das sociedades islâmicas, buscou-se responder a seguinte questão: em que medida as representações construídas por estes autores teriam incitado um imaginário sobretudo sexual acerca do harém?<br>The purpose of this research is to investigate how the European authors in the modern period conceptualized and represented the Islamic harem. In this sense, we examined a set of travel narratives, produced between the late sixteenth century and the eighteenth century, as well as dictionaries and encyclopedias from the same era. The former were the result of travels undertaken by Europeans with different profiles and projects towards the Ottoman Empire, Persia and North Africa, whose accounts were originally published in English and French. Among the sixteen main travel reports analyzed here, the last one published in 1791 described the experience of an English doctor in two harems of Morocco. Thus, the debate about the European medical assumptions in contact with the Moorish medical practices received special attention. After examining this textual scenario, and of indications on the characteristic lust of Islamic societies, we sought to answer the following question: the representations constructed by these authors would have incited an imaginary especially sexual about the harem?

La corruption est l’un des problèmes les plus dévastateurs de la Colombie, car elle touche la dimension sociale, politique et éthique. Ce problème est représenté par des pratiques symboliques qui remettent en question la nature de la culture colombienne et son changement. Le roman policier est l’une de ces formes de représentation. Mais l'histoire verbale est recréée, adaptée ou réécrite par des films colombiens qui récupèrent les images et imaginaires déjà présents dans le texte verbal sur le fond de l’univers culturel. Dans cet ordre d’idées, la question qui a guidé la recherche est : quels sont les imaginaires et les images de la corruption dans les romans Perder es cuestión de método, de Santiago Gamboa, Satanás, de Mario Mendoza et Paraíso Travel, de Jorge Franco et dans les films homonymes de Sergio Cabrera, Andi Baiz et Simon Brand ? Pour en répondre, la recherche développe cette question en trois sections : la première porte sur le contexte socioculturel colombien recréé et réinterprété dans ces romans et films ; la seconde concerne les dimensions sociales, psychologiques et physiologiques des imaginaires de la corruption et des images qui constituent ces imaginaires, et la troisième est centrée sur le processus de réécriture des textes en textes filmiques<br>Corruption is one of the most devastating problems in Colombia because it affects the social, political and ethical dimensions. This problem is represented through symbolic prac-tices that question the nature of Colombian culture and its change. The crime novel is one of these forms of representation. But the verbal story is recreated, adapted or rewritten by Colombian films. Those recover the images and imaginary in the background of the cultural universe. The question that guided the research is: What are the imaginary and images of corrup-tion in the novels Perder es cuestión de metodo, by Santiago Gamboa, Satanás, by Mario Mendoza and Paraíso Travel, by Jorge Franco and in the homonymous films by Sergio Cabrera, Andi Baiz and Simon Brand? To answer this question, the research develops three sections. The first deals with the Colombian socio-cultural context recreated and reinterpreted in these novels and films; the second concerns the social, psychological and physiological dimensions of the imaginary and the images of corruption, and the third focuses on the process of rewriting verbal texts into film texts. We adopt a semiotic approach, both theoretical and methodological, because literary and film practices correspond to two different modes of production and to two languages each having its own characteristics. The analyses show that if the text statements on corrup-tion and evaluations differ in the form of the expression they share the contents

Full textAbstract:
Les imaginaires étrangers et nationaux sur l’Amazonie brésilienne sont le fruit d’un long et imparfait travail de construction historique et littéraire initié par les Européens au XVIe siècle. Les premiers textes sur la région rendent compte d’un lieu lointain, exotique et sauvage. Ces représentations demeureront à jamais associées à l’espace amazonien, y compris au XIXe siècle lorsque le Brésil entreprend son processus d’émancipation politique et de construction identitaire. Dans ce vaste chantier où est bâtie en même temps l’unité nationale, il convient de comprendre comment les imaginaires étrangers ont pu façonner les imaginaires locaux. Les hommes de lettres amazoniens apporteront une contribution remarquable à ce processus de constitution d’une identité collective. Voulant assurer à l’Amazonie une place importante dans l’architecture nationale, ils font appel aussi bien aux traditions des peuples autochtones qu’aux savoirs des Européens. À travers l’analyse des récits de voyage, de la presse, de la littérature régionaliste, à la lumière de théories scientifiques et de courants littéraires, à la croisée de plusieurs disciplines, nous analysons la formation des imaginaires sur l’Amazonie, la façon dont ils se sont consolidés au fil des siècles et dans quelle mesure des écrivains amazoniens s’en sont approprié pour bâtir une littérature régionaliste<br>Foreign and national imaginaries of the Brazilian Amazon are the result of a long and incomplete historical and literary construction started by Europeans in the 16th century. The first texts about the region gave accounts of a faraway, exotic and wild place. These representations would be permanently associated to the Amazonian space, in particular during the 19th century, when Brazil initiated its process of political emancipation and identity formation. In the vast project of constructing a national identity, it is important to understand how foreign imaginaries shaped the local imaginaries. And the Amazonian writers had a remarkable participation in establishing a collective identity. Wanting to secure a place for the Amazon in the national architecture, they used the traditions of the indigenous people as well as the knowledge of the Europeans. Using the study of travel narratives, of the press, of regionalist literature, through the lens of scientific theories and literary currents, and at the intersection of various disciplines, we will analyze the formation of imaginaries of the Amazon, how they have consolidated throughout the centuries, and to what extent Amazonian writers appropriated them to create a regional literature<br>Os imaginários estrangeiros e nacionais sobre a Amazônia brasileira são frutos de um longo e imperfeito trabalho de construção histórica e literária, iniciado no século XVI pelos europeus.

No vasto projeto de constituição da identidade nacional, importa compreender como os imaginários estrangeiros modelaram os imaginários locais. Outrossim, os escritores amazônicos tiveram notável participação no estabelecimento de uma identidade coletiva. Buscando assegurar um lugar para a Amazônia na arquitetura nacional, eles recorreram tanto às tradições dos povos autóctones quanto aos saberes dos europeus. Através da análise de narrativas de viagem, da imprensa, da literatura regionalista, à luz de teorias científicas e de correntes literárias, e na intersecção de várias disciplinas, são analisados a formação dos imaginários sobre a Amazônia, de que forma os mesmos se consolidaram ao longo dos séculos e em que medida os escritores amazônicos deles se apropriaram para criar uma literatura regionalista

Full textAbstract:
L’Université d’Entreprise est un objet peu traité par la littérature. Elle est ainsi majoritairement perçue comme une structure devant, notamment par la formation et le développement des compétences, contribuer à l’atteinte des objectifs stratégiques de son organisation-mère, mais également favoriser le renforcement d’une culture interne. Par-delà cette définition instrumentale, à quoi sert une Université d’Entreprise ? La dénomination même de ce type de structure interroge. Y aurait-il, outre la mission gestionnaire qui lui est confiée, des « fonctions latentes » pour l’Université d’Entreprise ? Comment dépasser la vision culturelle pour en questionner les motivations profondes ? Nous avons souhaité mobiliser au cours de ce travail un cadre interprétatif permettant de dépasser la fonction visible de l’objet et ainsi interroger sa dimension imaginaire. Pour ce faire, nous avons eu recours à deux plans théoriques différents, l’un prescriptif et l’autre analytique, afin d’interroger dans un mouvement itératif les différents rôles et fonctions qui pourraient être ceux de l’Université d’Entreprise. Un dispositif particulier issu de méthodes qualitatives a été construit. Il repose sur le recueil de deux types de discours différents, l’un contrôlé, l’autre spontané, afin de favoriser l’analyse des deux plans théoriques. Par ailleurs, nous avons souhaité interroger l’ensemble des parties prenantes de l’Université d’Entreprise. Dans cette optique, différentes techniques (données secondaires, entretiens, observation et recueil de dessins) ont été utilisées. Les résultats de cette recherche doctorale sont multiples. Ils permettent tout d’abord le dévoilement d’une institution seconde de l’imaginaire organisationnel, l’Université d’Entreprise. Celle-ci, créatrice de liens particuliers entre une organisation et les individus qu’elle emploie va favoriser l’effectivité de l’imaginaire organisationnel. Cela repose sur la formulation d’une promesse faite par l’organisation-mère aux individus. Le développement et la mise à disposition de leur capital humain permettraient ainsi de leur offrir des perspectives de carrière. Cette promesse repose sur trois principes imaginaires qui fondent le rôle de l’Université d’Entreprise : les valeurs promues par l’organisation-mère, le prestige procuré par le partenaire académique et les attentes de reconnaissance que manifestent les individus. C’est sur la base de ce triptyque imaginaire que nous proposons de repenser le rôle institutionnel de l’Université d’Entreprise<br>The study of the Corporate University is a topic that has received little attention in the literature. It is thus largely seen as a structure dealing with training issues which has to contribute both to the strategic development of its parent organization and to foster the internal culture. Beyond this instrumental definition, what is really a Corporate University? The very name of this structure raises some questions. Is there, in addition to the visible managerial mission statement, some “latent functions” for the Corporate University? How is it possible to go beyond the cultural issue in order to question the hidden motivations? We have mobilized during this work an interpretative framework that helps to question the imaginary dimension of the object beyond its visible function.To do this, we used two different theoretical “frameworks” The first one is prescriptive and the second one is analytical. Our aim is to question in an iterative movement the different roles and functions that could be those of the Corporate University. A particular framework based on various qualitative methods was built. It is based on the collection of two different types of discourse, one controlled and one more spontaneous in order to mobilize the two theoretical frameworks we mentioned. Furthermore, we wanted to interview all stakeholders of the Corporate University. Different techniques (secondary data, interviews, observation and collection of drawings) were used to reach this goal.The results of this doctoral research are numerous. First, they allow the unveiling of a secondary institution of the organizational imaginary, here the Corporate University. It creates a special relationship between an organization and the people it employs and will promote the effectiveness of the organizational imaginary. This is based on the formulation of a promise made by the parent organization to individuals. By offering their human capital to the organization, individuals will expect career opportunities in return. This promise is based on three principles underlying the imaginary role of the Corporate University: the valuespromoted by the parent organization, the prestige provided by the academic partner and expectations of recognition shown by individuals. We propose to rethink the institutional role of the Corporate University on this imaginary triptych basis

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the intrinsic relationship between weather/weathering and the imaginary of the sea, which features in the work of artist Arthur Bispo do Rosário. Bispo was a black man who spent most of his life in psychiatric institutions. There is an important interplay between his psychotic deliriums and the production of hundreds of objects, many of them ships or forms that relate to the sea. These objects open up a discussion on decoloniality as they are embedded with marks left by the transatlantic slave trade.

Full textAbstract:
This essay explores the significance of movement and alterity in Hélène Cixous’s practice of writing, which she defines as an »exposure« to the other and as a sensitization to the present moment. The focus is on Cixous’s presentation of different modalities of being that are indissociable from the materiality of ‚écriture féminine‘. These range from the necessity for blindness in the act of writing and the discovery of imaginary worlds, to experiences of flight, sexual difference and modes of »de-selfing« in the process of writing. The transformative event-character of Cixous’s writing is foregrounded in her short story ‚Savoir‘, where the relationship between seeing and not-seeing, presence and absence, knowledge and desire is captured in the fleeting traces of the written word.

Full textAbstract:
Around the world, some 40 million people claim Scottish ancestry. Every year thousands of members of the Scottish diaspora travel to their imagined homeland. They come to Scotland to experience the culture of their ancestors and to walk in the places where their forebears walked. They come to Scotland because, like many diasporic populations around the globe, they imagine that their home is somewhere other than in the place they reside, and they travel in order to connect with their roots. Scotland is, of course, not the only country with a strong tradition of roots tourism. Cultural heritage trips, in which participants seek out an embodied experience of culture and connection, are part of a growing global fascination with heritage and genealogy. Nations with significant migration histories, including Israel and China, have, like Scotland, recognised the power inherent in their global communities and actively promote heritage tourism programmes.

Full textAbstract:
Conventional wisdom sees medievalism occurring “after” the Middle Ages; and indeed much medievalist practice seems to support this view, as the Middle Ages are often conceptualised in spatio-temporal terms, through the fictions of time-travel and the specific trope of “portal medievalism”. But the two formations are more accurately seen as mutually constitutive. Medieval literature offers many examples of layered or multiple temporalities. These are often structured around cultural and social difference, which is figured in powerfully affective, not just epistemological terms. Several examples from medieval English literature demonstrate how medieval culture prefigures many of medievalism’s concerns with the alterity of the past.

In I Congreso Internacional sobre Fotografia: Nuevas propuestas en Investigacion y Docencia de la Fotografia. Universitat Politècnica València, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/cifo17.2017.6757.
Full textAbstract:
Cuando hablamos de fotografía o de su precedente la heliografía nos situamos ante un imaginario que nacía vinculado al sol; una iconología lumínica que había sido construida a lo largo de siglos por sombras y proyecciones de luz que facilitaron el camino hacia la aparición del fenómeno fotográfico. Un imaginario perceptivo que nos ha llevado directamente a considerar un campo enormemente amplio de la visión que nos hace pensar en lo que Ralph Waldo Emerson dijo: “Con mucho, la mejor parte de cada mente no es aquella que él conoce, sino la que flota delante de él en los destellos, en las sugestiones, atormentándole sin llegar a ser poseída” (Ozick 2015). Es decir, quizá muchas de las imágenes que nos han conducido hasta a la fotografía hayan sido inaprensibles y espectrales, invisibles o flotantes, o quizá fueran tan solo espejismos; pero es muy posible que ese imaginario sobre lo invisible sea el lugar desde donde hemos logrado imaginar los descubrimientos que el arte y la ciencia inventarían posteriormente. Tal como nos explica y demuestra Arthur Zajonc en su ensayo Capturar la luz, la visión a través de nuestros propios ojos requiere de la imaginación para ver, pues la visión requiere de un proceso de aprendizaje largo y arduo hasta conseguir que la luz de la naturaleza y la luz de la mente logren entrelazarse y conectarse entre sí. "[…] Al margen del razonamiento analítico, todos los científicos (al igual que nosotros mismos) dependen de una suerte de visión, de una capacidad de discernimiento que ha sido formado a través de la experiencia reflexiva. Gracias a ella ven lo que tal vez otros, por mucho que observen los mismos fenómenos no verán nunca. Así es como los científicos realizan sus observaciones y descubrimientos" (Zajonc 2015, 208). Este breve comentario afecta por igual al arte y a la ciencia y resume de manera magnífica una parte esencial de la problemática con la que se enfrenta esta investigación, pues la aparición de la fotografía no sólo proporcionó un instrumento para mejorar nuestra visión, sino que su aparición cuestionó la percepción interior que hasta entonces teníamos del mundo. En este trabajo se ha considerado –igual que lo han hecho anteriormente autores como R. Krauss–, que actualmente es imprescindible realizar de una forma renovada una historia de la fotografía que se aparte del discurso dominante y sea capaz de reflejar con mayor exactitud como fueron los esfuerzos conjuntos del arte y la ciencia, los que lograron Atrapar la luz a través de la fotografía. Descubrimientos como la cámara oscura, el telescopio o el microscopio permitieron dar uso a estas aplicaciones ópticas al incorporarlas en el proceso fotográfico. No cabe duda de que fueron Niepce, Daguerre, Talbot, Bayard y Florence los inventores de la materialidad fotográfica, pero no podemos ignorar la importancia de Schulze, Fulhame, Charles o Wedgwood como precedentes de esta gran genealogía accidental. Tal como considera Hubert Damisch, la fotografía ha tenido una trayectoria que se ha desviado de sí misma hasta regresar de nuevo a sus comienzos, intentando sacar de “esta involución reflexiva, su recurso principal” (Krauss 2002, 8). Esta ponencia indaga en esa misma dirección y propósito, dado que todavía nos encontramos bastante lejos de comprender la amplitud de lo sucedido. Bibliografía: KRAUSS, R.E. (2002).

Full textAbstract:
This essay traces the story of the Narmada River and its transformation from a sacred landscape to one of the largest mechanized territorial systems in the world. The Narmadatravelssome 1,300 kilometers from Amarkantaktothe Arabian Sea; enabling the livelihood of millions, shaping distinct regional identities and embodying a rich cultural imaginary for those worshiping her holy waters. The infrastructural potential of the river was first formulated as a megaregional project in the 1940s to modernize and bring prosperity to the watershed. Under implementation since the 1980s, the “Narmada Valley Development Project” is incrementally transforming the river into an interstate infrastructural network of water conveyance and energy generation. Through a cartographic and photographic inventory, the project traces the transformation of the natural and cultural systems associated with the Narmada River over time. Pausing at Omkareshwar, a major pilgrimage destination, the essay unfolds the current state of uncertainty and civic unrest that the massive infrastructural works are placing in the fragile lives of the valley dwellers.

Full textAbstract:
En este artículo se presenta el proceso de elaboración de la Marca Identitaria Arras Baztan (Absolutamente Baztan), elaborada con el objetivo de dotar de identidad de marca a un espacio territorial previamente definido, en este caso el valle de Baztan, ubicado en las estribaciones más occidentales del Pirineo. Es el municipio más extenso de Vasconia y está compuesto por 15 localidades. A través de un proceso participativo que analizó el imaginario colectivo baztanés, se creó la marca Arras Baztan, que protegerá y promoverá los modelos productivos que respeten y mantengan el paisaje natural y cultural referido. Además, de cara a la proyección exterior, la marca Arras Baztan se promoverá sobre la base de los elementos y referentes del imaginario colectivo de sus habitantes; siguiendo la filosofía del auzolan y facilitando la colaboración entre agentes socioeconómicos y las vecinas y vecinos del valle.

Full textAbstract:
El imaginario del agua en la narrativa sandiana reviste una gran riqueza. El puente, el vado, las aguas tenebrosas, la tormenta, las nubes, son motivos recurrentes que revisten un amplio simbolismo en novelas tan conocidas como La Petite Fadette, La Mare au Diable o François le Champi. Sin pretender abarcar esta diversidad, el propósito de nuestro estudio se centrará en el análisis de un relato muy breve titulado Ce que dit le ruisseau (1863). No muy estudiado por la crítica, este relato presenta claramente una idea esencial de George Sand: la necesidad de escuchar la voz de la naturaleza, tema que constituye el leitmotiv de su última obra, los trece Contes d'une grand'mère (publicados en volumen en 1873 y 1876). En Ce que dit le ruisseau, el lector asiste a un juego de ecos sobre el cual reposan la traducción e interpretación de la palabra poética. La dicotomía entre lo real y lo imaginario se presenta a través de dos voces discordantes: la de un poeta y la de un científico naturalista, a las que se unen la voz del agua y la de una ninfa. El viaje interiorizado y el sueño iniciático se insertan en la realidad en este relato metafórico, como metafóricos son los Contes d'une grand'mère. Y también, como en ellos, el viaje y el sueño son inseparables de la primacía de la oralidad. A través del imaginario acuático, el relato constituye un exponente de la constante transformación y la eterna renovación de todo lo existente. En definitiva, Ce que dit le ruisseau es la expresión de una idea esencial de Sand: la incesante actividad de la Naturaleza, «reina de las hadas» que se opone al vacío de la nada.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.3033

Full textAbstract:
The Vincent Circle principle may be stated as follows. If a structure is excited harmonically, the response at another position at a particular frequency will trace a circle in the complex plane as a result of a dynamic stiffness modification between two points. As either the real or imaginary part of an introduced dynamic stiffness is varied from plus and minus infinity, the structural or acoustic response will map a circle in the complex plane. This paper summarizes the basis for this little known principle. Two numerical simulations are included to demonstrate how the principle can be applied. In the first example, a cantilevered plate is used to confirm that the principle is amenable to noise problems. A similar analysis is then performed on a construction cab to illustrate the applicability of the method if the structure is excited at multiple locations. The results suggest that the principle can be used in place of or in conjunction with more sophisticated numerical optimization schemes.

Full textAbstract:
Sous l’apparence d’une écriture dépouillée et d’une narration dénudée, Marie Redonnet, écrivaine contemporaine, nous présente un univers fictionnel peuplé de personnages –féminins pour la plupart- démunis et solitaires, soumis aux grandes tensions sociales, ancrés dans un cadre spatio-temporel flou, et fréquemment plongés dans un état d’abandon existentiel, de stagnation, auquel vient contribuer la présence d’une composante clé de l’imaginaire redonnetien: l’élément aquatique. Chez Redonnet, les différentes variantes de l’eau: océans, mers, fleuves, lacs, cascades, marécages, etc, deviennent de véritables métaphores récurrentes, voire obsédantes, riches de signification. Prenant comme point de départ de notre parcours la trilogie: Splendid Hôtel, Forever Valley et Rose Mélie Rose, publiée entre 1986 et 1987, nous nous proposons d’analyser, dans un premier temps, le rôle et la signification de la présence récurrente de la thématique de l’eau dans cette trilogie. Nous dresserons, ensuite, le tableau des différentes manifestations de l’eau et des divers aspects de la symbolique aquatique dans son dernier roman: La femme au colt 45, paru en 2016. Dans ce roman, utilisant une langue épurée et minimaliste, proche du langage dramaturgique, Marie Redonnet nous pose la problématique de la précarité des réfugiés, et des sans-papiers, de la méchanceté humaine, des difficultés pour recommencer une nouvelle vie ailleurs, de « l’autre côté du fleuve », à travers l’expérience vitale de Lora Sander, une comédienne qui fuit la dictature de son pays. L’étude dans ce dernier roman de la présence de l’eau, sous toutes ses manifestations, ainsi que la signification des différents élements qui lui sont associés, nous permettra de nous interroger sur l’évolution du traitement de l’imaginaire aquatique dans la création littéraire de M. Redonnet.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.3111

Full textAbstract:
In the blank design of spiral bevel and hypoid gears, the face cone is defined as an imaginary cone tangent to the tops of the teeth. Traditionally, the face cone element or generatrix is a straight line. On the other hand, the tooth root lines which are traced by the blade tips are normally not straight lines. As a result, the tooth top geometry generally does not fit the mating member’s real root shape, providing an uneven tooth root-tip clearance; additionally, in some cases root-tip interference between the tooth tip and the root tooth surfaces of the mating gear members may be observed. To address this issue, this paper describes a method of determining an optimized face cone element for spiral bevel and hypoid gears. The method is based on the incorporation of calculation of tooth surface and root geometries, the conjugate relationship of the mating gear members, the ease-off topography, and the tooth contact analysis. The resulting face cone element may not be a straight line but generally an optimized curve that, in addition to avoidance of the interference, offers maximized contact ratio and even tooth root-tip clearance. Manufacturing of bevel gear blanks with a curved face cone element can be implemented by using computer numerically controlled (CNC) machines.

La présente recherche porte sur l’étude comparative des aspects socioculturels de l’emploi des mots liés au champ lexical de l’eau en français et en russe. Nous partons de la représentation de la langue-culture comme d’un continu permettant de relever les particularités de la vision du monde des sujets parlants à travers les connotations et les emplois des mots dans des contextes différents. Ce sont les aspects affectif, imagé, mais aussi l’aspect évocateur, ou « de milieu » que nous avons choisi comme points de repère dans notre recherche. Nous utilisons dans notre démarche les données de dictionnaires et procédons à l’analyse des proverbes, dictons, expressions imagées et des contes français et russes pour découvrir les particularités du monde imaginaire, des associations nationales dans les langues-cultures respectives (il s’agit de la convergence totale, partielle ou absence de convergence de l’image. Cette étude devrait être complétée par l’emploi terminologique des mots et expressions du champ lexical de l’eau qui sont, dans la langue française, très souvent formés par la voie métaphorique (vive-eau, morte-eau signifiant la marée montante ou descendante, eau morte et eau vive renvoyant à l’eau stagnante ou l’eau qui coule), alors que la langue russe préfère réserver l’image au langage de la littérature (eau vive et morte dans les contes russes). De plus, les mots appartenant au champ lexical de l’eau sont largement employés en français dans la sphère de finances (verser, versement, liquidités, flux financiers, etc.) et, moins largement, en russe (sous forme d’emprunts, calques le plus souvent). Ces investigations de termes « aquatiques » dans les deux langues permettront de relever les nuances de leur emploi et de leurs connotations dont la connaissance est d’une grande importance pour les traducteurs.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.3792

Almanaque: Del árabe المناخ)pr.al-manakh) ‘calendario’, derivado del árabe “munakh” que significa ‘parada de un viaje’, ‘descanso’. Es aquí donde nos proponemos hacer una pausa para revisitar el camino recorrido y reunir las experiencias que al paso del tiempo hemos atesorado como extraordinarias. Estás por recorrer un proyecto editorial colaborativo que celebra los primeros diez años de la Unidad de Vinculación Artística (UVA). Diez años que se expresan en 10 fanzines o números donde cada uno representa una arista desde donde mirar esta primera década. Ubicada en el corazón de Tlatelolco, la UVA ha acompañado en sus procesos de iniciación, formación y creación artística a más de 10,000 personas. A través de nuestros talleres libres y nuestra adorada biblioteca comunitaria “Alaíde Foppa” hemos sido cómplices de niñas, niños, jóvenes, adultos y personas mayores. Para ellxs, y para los que están por venir, nuestro total agradecimiento. Doce talleristas —artistas de diversas disciplinas, interesados en la educación e investigación a través del arte— acudieron al llamado para dimensionar y proyectar nuestra historia. A través de sus voces se hacen evidentes los pilares de nuestra comunidad: la educación no formal, el reconocimiento del otro como vértice de la experiencia educativa y por último, la integración de la carga cultural que representa el barrio de Tlatelolco: nuestro territorio. Así pues, sólo nos queda darte la bienvenida y desear que este descanso de tu propio viaje sea una pausa gozosa y te permita –como nos permitió a nosotras– imaginar nuevos horizontes.
