Cette thèse porte sur la production des espaces domestiques et villageois en milieu rural et s’appuie sur une ethnographie menée pendant plus de dix-huit mois dans le village malinké de Guirlan, situé au nord-est de la Guinée. Elle articule les notions d’espace, de mobilité et de relation sociale en insistant sur les pratiques quotidiennes des habitants. L’objet privilégié est celui de la résidence (lu), dont l’organisation topocentrique est analysée comme déterminante dans la construction des relations sociales. La démarche se veut elle aussi spatialisée. Le raisonnement débute dans les cours centrales, là où l’autorité est mise en acte. Il se poursuit dans la périphérie des espaces domestiques, puis en dehors du village. Les mines d’or, résultat de l’intensification de l’exploitation aurifère depuis les années 1980-1990 dans la région, sont alors présentées comme des espaces relativement autonomes comportant leurs propres règles. En revanche, les installations plus durables de migrants dans des villes plus lointaines, sont considérées comme des extensions de la résidence d’origine, permettant les mobilités de certains de ses membres. L’enjeu est en fait celui de la présence et des temporalités de l’absence. Alors que certains déplacements de courte distance sont analysés comme des ruptures, comme l’accompagnement de l’épouse chez son mari, d’autres, plus lointains, reposent sur une absence pensée dans sa présence future. À travers l’étude des pratiques spatiales, ce travail interroge donc plus largement la question de la reconnaissance sociale et de sa mise en visibilité au quotidien
This thesis on the production of domestic and village spaces in a rural setting, is based on more than eighteen months of ethnographic fieldwork in the Malinke village of Guirlan in northeastern Guinea. It explores the interplay of space, mobility and social relationship, notably in the course of the inhabitants’ daily practices. The central object of this study is the residence (lu), whose topocentric organization is held to be determinate in the construction of social relations. The analysis itself also spatially grounded. Beginning in the central courtyards where authority is enacted, it moves out to the periphery of domestic areas, and then beyond the village itself. Gold mines, resulting from an intensification of mining in the region since 1980-1990, are seen as relatively autonomous spaces governed by rules of their own. On the other hand, more prolonged installations of migrants in cities further away are envisaged as extensions of their home residences that allow for the mobility of some of their members. All these cases deal with the issues of presence and the temporalities of absence. While certain short-range displacements, such as the accompaniment of a wife to her husband’s residence, are analyzed as ruptures or breaches, other more distant ones consist in an absence conceived as presence-to-come. By focusing on spatial practices, this study is directly concerned with the problem of social acknowledgement and its visibilization in daily life

Les textes de Ahmadou Kourouma ainsi que ceux de Patrick Chamoiseau représentent un parcours original dans le bilinguisme. En fait ils sont un formidable témoignage de la richesse que peut constituer la rencontre des langues malinke et créole avec le français. Le travail fait sur la langue française consiste en une stratégie double : exprimer son identité africaine ou antillaise et subvertir la langue française. Les approches sociolinguistiques et sémiotiques demeurent des outils complémentaires pour analyser et tenter de rendre la créativité de ces énoncés doubles
The text and the writing of Ahamadou Kourouma and Patrick Chamoiseau are the result of bilinguism. The encounter between malinke and creole on one hand and french on the other hand reveals all the richness of the authors language. They want to express their own identity through their speech. They also assert that they can create a new french language. That is why we used the semiotic and sociolinguistic approaches to intend to show all creativity of these authors

Loin de la célébration oecuménique et de l'idéalisation négritudiennes de l'Afrique pré-coloniale et du culte du français normatif par les écrivains de sa génération, Kourouma élabore une nouvelle esthétique romanesque délibérement iconoclaste. Tentative de synthèse entre la tradition orale et l'écriture romanesque classique, l'esthétique kouroumienne se situe dans une problématique énonciative. Si l'objet d'étude est l'expression du haut degré, le but du travail est double. Il s'agit d'abord de montrer l'influence de la tradition orale sur le style du romancier à travers la présence obsédante de l'hyperbole dans la narration mais aussi, le travail se propose de montrer, grâce à la description du mécanisme d'expressivité linguistique en général, comment la question essentielle de la recherche d'une certaine crédibilité discursive est résolue. Ainsi sont abordés entre autres sujets, le problème des interférences et des particularismes linguistiques constituant l'ossature de l'esthétique kouroumienne, mais aussi les problèmes de synonymie, polysémie, création lexicale. C'est une étude de sémantique linguistique qui, sans prétention d'exhauxtivité, traite à la fois des questions de syntaxe expressive et affective, de grammaire et surtout, des conditions psychologiques et socioculturelles de l'énonciation
Far from the oecumenical celebration and the negritudian idealization of pre-colonial africa on the one hand, and the worship of formal franch language made from writers of his generation on the other hand, kourouma elaborates a new and deliberately inconoclastic and novelistic aesthetics in his novels. Half-way between oral tradition and classical novel writing, kouroumian aesthetics is embeded in an enunciative problematic. If the ultimate goal of this study is the expression of high degree, our approch is double-sided : showing the influence of oral tradition on the novelist's writing through his excessive use of hyperbole in the narration ; showing, by the description of linguistic expressiveness mechanism, in general, how the essential concern of the quest for a discursive credibility is solved. Among other subjects, we deal here with the frame of kouroumian aesthetics, that is, the problem of linguistic interferences and peculiarities, the problem of synonyms, polysemy and lexical creation. Un other words, without pretending to be exhaustive, this linguistic and semantic study intends to answer the questions of expressive and affective syntax, of grammar and, above all, of psychological and socio-cultural conditions of enunciation

Le malinke est une langue mande parlee par le quart de la population guineenne. C'est une langue a tons dont le systeme phonologique comporte 7 voyelles et 23 consonnes. Cette these examine les points principaux de la morphosyntaxe du malinke, dont certains sont typologiquement remarquables : ordre des mots ; absence de cloisons etanches entre les diverses categories lexicales (plurifonctionnalite des lexemes) ; categories verbales pluridimensionnelles (temps aspect mode diathese) ; absence de reflechi, d'impersonnel et de passif proprement dits ; predominance de l'opposition verbo-nominale avec un gn plurifonctionnel et un gv exclusivement predicatif ; statut verbo-nominal de l'adjectif ; heterogeneite de la categorie adverbiale
Makinke is a mandelanguage spoken by about 25% of the population of guinea. It is a tone language with a phonological system of 7 vowels and 23 consonants. This dissertation examines the most significant features of malinke morphosyntax, some of which are typologically remarkable : word order ; multifunctionality of lexemes and consequently no strict compartmentalization between lexical classes ; polyvalent verbal categories ; lack of strictly speaking reflexive, impersonal or passive forms ; a prominent verbnoun opposition with a plurifunctional np vs. An exclusively predicative vp ; verbo-nominal status of adjectives ; heterogeneousness of the adverbial category

Cette thèse s’est assigné, comme modalités de recherches de définir les modes spécifiques d’apparition et de fonctionnement de l’épique dans la chronique historique et les chants d’exaltation en l’honneur de l’empereur Bakari II, représenté comme le « découvreur » de l’Amérique avant Colomb. Le texte est une version bilingue composée d’une transcription en langue Mandenka et d’une traduction française. En chantant ses hauts faits, le griot fait l’éloge des qualités héroïques du personnage et la nature des émotions que son audace d’aller à l’assaut des vagues de l’océan Atlantique suscite. A un texte qui se présente sous une apparence simple, une intonation épique est de la sorte attribuée même si on peut le qualifier de « néo épopée ». Certes l’épique s’imposait au regard du choix d’une esthétique d’oralité qui permet de nouer « sans artifice » l’historique, l’héroïque et le merveilleux. On retrouve là, la définition du registre épique et du style noble qui lui est associé dans la rhétorique, et qu’emprunte effectivement l’œuvre. Tout d’abord, nous avons tenté de jeter un regard sur la fondation du Mande, des origines à l’avènement de Soundjata Keïta, fondateur de l’empire et sur la composition sociale et l’organisation politique de l’empire du Mali. Cette thèse confirme, à l’instar d’autres études ethnographiques, que la société mandingue médiévale est organisée autour de trois pôles fortement hiérarchisés, endogamiques et spécialisés: les horon, les nyamakala et les jon. Avant de transcrire en langue malinké, puis les traduire en français les chants-rythmes d’éloge de Fa Bukari, nous avons revisité le cycle épique de Maghan Soundjata qui s’accompagne de la chronique de l’empereur du Mali Aboubakari II. Pour conclure, nous avons abordé les propriétés stylistiques et sémantiques qui s’articulent autour de la figure du poète épique, de la poésie formulaire, de la parole épique, de la rythmique particulière de la parole épique, sans occulter les perspectives de recherches nombreuses qui s’ouvrent dans le champ de la littérature orale, en général et sur l’épopée de Bakari II, en particulier qui contient un pan entier de domaines à explorer
This thesis is assigned, as the terms and conditions of research to define specific modes of appearance and operation of the epic in the historical Chronicle and the songs of exaltation in honour of Emperor Bakari II, represented as the "discoverer" of America before Columbus. The text is a bilingual version consisting of a transcript in Mandinka language and a French translation. Singing its achievements, the griot is the praise of the heroic qualities of the character and nature of the emotions aroused by his daring to go to the onslaught of the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. A text that presents itself as a simple appearance, epic intonation is assigned to it even though it can be called 'neo epic’. Certainly the epic was necessary with regard to the choice of an aesthetic of orality that allows to establish 'unadorned' history, the heroic and wonderful deeds. We have here, the definition of epic registry and noble style associated with it in the rhetoric, which is followed by the work. First of all, we have tried to look on the Foundation of the Mande, from the origins to the advent of Sundiata Keita, founder of the empire and the social composition and the political organization of the Mali Empire. This thesis confirms, along with other ethnographic studies, that medieval Mandingo society is organized around three poles strongly hierarchical, endogamous and specialised: the horon, the nyamakala and the jon. Before transcribing malinke language, then translate them into French songs-rhythms of praise of Fa Bukari, we revisited Maghan Sundiata epic cycle which is accompanied by the Chronicle of the Emperor of Mali, Aboubakari II. To conclude, we discussed stylistic and semantic properties that revolve around the figure of the epic poet, poetry form, epic speech, the special rhythmic of epic speech, without concealing the prospects of many research that open in the field of oral literature, in general and the epic of Bakari II, in particular that contains an entire domain to explore

Cette étude projette de définir, derrière le jeu de la fiction et l'alchimie d'un nouveau langage, une démarche de déstructuration langagière concomitante à une restructuration de la personne. En analysant trois romans de la littérature francophone féminine algérienne de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle : "Vaste est la prison" d'Assia Djebar, "N'zid" de Malika Mokeddem et "La Voyeuse interdite" de Nina Bouraoui, notre premier objectif est de démontrer comment ces oeuvres s'articulent comme des relais d'écriture, marquant entre les trois récits une évolution qui révèle, derrière les mots, un infra-discours structuré immanent voyageant avec l'histoire dans sa logique propre. Dans un deuxième temps, nous interrogeons le fonctionnement de la langue et les fondements de l'écriture, pour étudier, derrière le prisme de la psychanalyse, le stratagème secret des jeux du langage et les mécanismes inconscients de l'écriture. L'aventure scripturaire est le révélateur d'une construction en marche et dévoile l'accomplissement d'un cheminement de la conscience littéraire féminine créatrice, instaurant la femme écrivain algérienne francophone dans un nouveau statut personnel et social, celui de "la femme au livre"
Behind the game of fiction and the alchemy of a new language, our research aims at defining a mere proceeding of discourse destructuration, together with a restructuration of the person. Our analysis is based on three novels in the Algerian Francophone women's literature of the second part of the twentieth century : "So Vast the prison" by Assia Djebar, "N'zid" by Malika Mokeddem and "Forbidden vision" by Nina Bouraoui. Our first goal is to demonstrate how these three works are linked in the fashion of writing relays, indicating an evolution from one narrative to the other, which reveals, behind words, an immediate subjacent discourse, going along with the story within its own logic. Our next step is to question the functioning of language and the foundations of writing, so as to study, through the prism of psychoanalysis, the secret stratagem of the language games, which brings to light unconscious mechanisms of writing. The scripturary adventure is the revealer of self-building at work and discloses the achievement of progress for the literary, creative, feminine consciousness, thus establishing the Algerian francophone female writer in a new personal and social statute of "the women with a book"

Sporedni proizvodi industrijske prerade voća, trop borovnice i maline, postupcima sušenja i mlevenja prevedeni su u oblik pogodan za aplikaciju u prehrambene proizvode. Ovako dobijeni sastojci imaju visok sadržaj prehrambenih vlakana, esencijalnih masnih kiselina poput linolne i α-linolenske, a karakteriše ih i izbalansiran odnos PUFA/SFA. Od makronutrijenata, u najvećoj koncentraciji prisutni su K, Mg i Ca. Imajući u vidu da su glavne fitohemikalije bobičastog voća polifenolna jediinjenja, u proizvedenim funkcionalnim sastojcima određen je sadržaj ukupnih rastvorljivih polifenola, antocijana i flavonoida, kao i sastav i sadržaj odabranih polifenolnih jedinjenja primenom LC/MS-MS tehnike.Primena osušenih i samlevenih tropova kao sastojaka prehrambenih proizvoda ispitana je u formulaciji bezglutenskog keksa, sa ciljem njegovog funkcionalnog obogaćivanja. Za optimizaciju formulacije keksa korišćen je postupak odzivne površine (RSM), a formulacija u kojoj je bezglutenska smeša zamenjena sa 28,2% tropa borovnice i 1,8% tropa maline dobijena je kao optimalna, uzimajući u obzir sve zadate kriterijume. Dodatkom ova dva funkcionalana sastojka u gorenavedenom odnosu, postignuto je značajno poboljšanje nutritivnih svojstava bezglutenskog keksa, a dobijeni proizvod po kvalitetu može da parira komercijalno dostupnim funkcionalno obogaćenim keksovima, namenjenim zdravoj populaciji.Rezultati dijetetske interventne studije sprovedene na 20 zdravih, normalno uhranjenih ispitanika ženskog pola, ukazuju da se konzumiranjem kreiranog bezglutenskog keksa u količini od 32 g dnevno, postiže značajna redukcije LDL holesterola, i povećanje nivoa adiponektina u krvi, a budući da se ovaj adipocitni-sekretorni protein dovodi u vezu sa antiinflamatornim i antiaterogenim potencijalom u tretmanu metaboličkog sindroma i dijabetesa tipa 2, može se očekivati protektivno dejstvo kreiranog bezgutenskog keksa.
Blueberry and raspberry pomace, by-products from fruit juice industry, were processed into the new food ingredients by drying and grinding. The obtained functional ingredients are characterized by high content of dietary fibres and essential fatty acids (linoleic and α-linolenic acid), as well as by optimal ratio of PUFA/SFA. The main macronutrients in dried and ground pomace are K, Mg and Ca. The content of total phenolic compounds, anthocyanins and flavonoids were determined, as well as composition and content of individual phenolic compounds using LC/MS-MS in order to evaluate their antioxidant potential.In the form of dried powder, blueberry and raspberry pomace were used as ingredients in formulation of gluten-free cookies. Response surface methodology (RSM) approach was applied to obtain optimal ingredients proportion. Formulation in which gluten-free flour mixture is substituted with 28.2% of the blueberry and 1.8% of the raspberry pomace was found to be optimal following the used optimization criteria. Addition of blueberry and raspberry pomace has led to a remarkable improvement in nutritional properties, and resulted in a product with similar nutritional profile with commercially available gluten containing cookies.Dietary intervention study on a group of 20 healthy, normal weight female subjects was conducted to investigate the health effect of the created gluten-free cookies. The results showed a significant reduction in levels of LDL cholesterol, and an increase in plasma concentrations of adiponectin, suggesting a potential positive effect of the created product on human health.

Women novelists in Algeria emerged in the 1980's and have reached a pinnacle of acclaim over the last twenty years among individuals of diverse backgrounds. Rooted in the past of the national liberation war and characterized by its rebellious nature, their literature combats practices of patriarchy, the obsolete content of the national family code, and the barbarity of ongoing religious fundamentalism. Confined to the patriarchal system, marginalized by the laws of the family code; outraged by the Islamists' threats, revolted and tired of the archaic laws of their society, Algerian female novelists are still struggling with the constraints of their gender. My dissertation studies fictional narratives by women who struggle against the violence and patriarchy inherent in traditional Algerian society. I analyze the thematic, stylistic, and rhetorical strategies in three novels: N'zid, Surtout ne te retourne pas and La Jeune fille et la mère. Through close readings of the texts, I focus on how these writers combat the collective and ancestral silencing of women by transforming through textual violence an identity inherited from colonial and patriarchal discourses in order to construct a new subjectivity that escapes traditional structures. I also show how these novelists express their opposition to the fundamentalists' views to escape from the reactionary attitudes of fanatics and those who advocate an uncompromising stance towards women.

La thèse a pour objectif de montrer non seulement comment les romancières africaines des années 1980-1990 promeuvent l’image de la nouvelle femme africaine, en prolongeant les revendications féministes de leurs aînées, mais aussi et surtout de décrire le fonctionnement de leurs discours qui se caractérisent essentiellement par une esthétique de subversion des normes linguistiques. Cette transgression réduplique leur combat dans le but d’inventer la nouvelle Africaine, celle qui affronte les carcans de la tradition et s’ouvre à l’universalité. Le corpus est constitué des œuvres romanesques autobiographiques – pour la plupart – de trois écrivaines représentant deux macro-espaces géoculturels : l’Afrique subsaharienne avec C. Beyala et Ken Bugul ; le Maghreb avec Malika Mokeddem. L’étude cherche, en s’appuyant sur la linguistique du discours telle qu’amorcée par H. Weinrich et enrichie par J. -M. Adam, D. Maingueneau ou A. Viala, à montrer comment ces créatrices concilient problématique féminine et défi du développement de l’Afrique, de manière à contribuer efficacement à une nouvelle visibilité de la littérature africaine. Les lectures transversales révèlent ainsi un nouveau positionnement de la femme africaine incarnée dans l’espace de la création par la nouvelle écrivaine qui participe aux luttes sociopolitiques et culturelles, afin de se projeter dans un futur prometteur pour une société en mutation. L’hypothèse d’un dépassement de la lecture des œuvres de femmes comme l’expression monocorde de la condition féminine est vérifiée, et la thèse contribue notamment à la réhabilitation d’une littérature féminine mise à mal par une certaine critique limitée simplement aux aspects descriptifs et thématiques
This dissertation aims to demonstrate not only how African novelists in 1980-1990 promoted the image of the new African woman by continuing the feminist demands of their predecessors, but also, and foremost, to describe the pattern of their discourse, which was characterized predominantly by aesthetics of subversion of linguistic norms. This linguistic defiance mirrors their fight to invent the New African Woman, who throws off the shackles of tradition and opens herself up to universality. The corpus is composed primarily of autobiographical novelistic works by three writers who represent two geocultural macrospaces: the sub-Saharan Africa of C. Beyala and Ken Bugul, and the Maghreb of Malika Mokeddem. This study seeks, drawing on the linguistics of discourse as initiated by H. Weinrich and enriched by J. -M. Adam, D. Maingueneau, and A. Viala, to present how these creative female artists reconcile the feminine problem with the challenge of African development in such a way as to expeditiously contribute to new visibility for African literature. Transversal reading thus reveals a new place for the African woman, who is embodied in the creative space by the new woman writer participating in sociopolitical and cultural battles in order to advance a society in evolution into a promising future. The hypothesis of over-reading women’s literary works as the monotonous expression of the feminine condition is supported; the dissertation contributes, in particular, to a rehabilitation of feminine literature that has been undermined by criticism that has limited itself solely to descriptive and thematic aspects

This essay analyzes the Austrian author Ingeborg Bachmann’s novel Malina (1971) from two theoretical perspectives: Freudian trauma theory and poststructuralist feminism, as formulated by Julia Kristeva in Revolution in Poetic Language (1974). Both of these standpoints manages to explain one of the main issues in Malina, that is, how to give voice to that which escapes language. By arguing that the nameless narrator, Ich (I), has been traumatized by patriarchal structures, I show how these perspectives complement rather than exclude each other. Together they manage to give a new and more complete picture of the struggle for language depicted in the novel.

La problématique de cette thèse se situe à la rencontre du postcolonialisme et du postmodernisme. En nous portant sur le dispositif poétique de six autobiographies, nous dévoilons les stratégies littéraires par lequelles nos auteures incorporent, tout en y résistant, la violence vécue à leurs textes. L'analyse de la thématique et du fonctionnement textuel des ouvrages montre comment elles transforment à coups de violences textuelles l'identité héritée des discours colonial et patriarcal pour se construire une nouvelle subjectivité qui échappe aux rapports de pouvoir en place. L'évaluation de la force oppositionnelle de cette écriture, à sensibilité postmoderne, permet de rapprocher les courants postcolonial et postmoderne. En déterritorialisant l'identité ethnique et sexuelle héritée, ces auteures nomades se créent des lignes de fuite deleuziennes vers une nouvelle identité qui s'ancre dans une communauté d'origine et dans la mémoire féminine ; l'identité en devenir d'un groupe sujet
The problematic of this thesis lies at the crossroads of postcolonialism and postmodernism. Investigating the poetics of six autobiographies unveils the literary strategies the writers deploy to accommodate into their writing both an experience of violence and resistance against it. An analysis of the thematics and textual functioning of the texts reveals how they transform, through textual violence, an identity inherited from colonial and patriarchal discourses in order to construct a new subjectivity that escapes existing power relations. This research, through its evaluation of the oppositional force of this intrinsically postmodern corpus, enacts a rapprochement between postcolonial and postmodern theories. The nomadic writers deterritorialise inherited ethnic and sexual identities, creating for themselves Deleuzian lines of flight towards a new conception of identity anchored in a community of origin and in female memory: the identity of a subject group, invested with becoming

This work examined the chemical composition, the antioxidant,antihyperglycaemic, antiproliferative and antimicrobialactivity of the freeze-dried raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.)varieties Meeker (ETMM) and Willamette (ETMW), blackberry(Rubus fruticosus L.) varieties (ETKČ) and Thornfree(ETKT), and wild blueberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) (ETB)pomaces methanol extracts. The content of total polyphenols(TPh), total flavonoids (TF) and total anthocyanins (TAc) inthe pomace extracts were determined spectrophotometrically.Identification and quantification of the phenolic compounds(phenol acids, flavonols and cyanidins) and ascorbic acid inthe pomace extracts was performed by HPLC analysis. Theantioxidant activities of the extracts was determined spectrophotometricallyusing DPPH and ABTS+ free radicals andreducing ability assay. ESR spectroscopy is used for determinationof pomace extracts’ influence on reactive hydroxyland superoxide anion radicals. Antihyperglycaemic activity ofthe pomace extracts was determined using α-glucosidase inhibitionassay. The antiproliferative activity of the pomace extractswas tested in vitro, testing their influence on the growthof four histologically different human tumor cells: HeLa(cervix epithelioid carcinoma), MCF7 (breast adenocarcinoma),HT-29 (colon adenocarcinoma) and MRC-5(human fetallung fibroblasts). Antimicrobial activity of berry pomace extracts was tested on selected strains of Gram-positive andGram-negative bacteria, yeasts and molds with the disc diffusionmethod and the method of “wells”. The possibility offreeze dried berry pomace extracts application as a fruit functionaladditive was investigated as well. Laboratory producedenriched juice was tested in terms of TPH, TF and TAc content,reducing ability and DPPH scavenging ability as well.The results of testing the chemical composition, the antioxidative,antihyperglycaemic, antiproliferative and antimicrobialactivities of ETMM, ETMW, ETKČ, ETKT and ETB, indicatethat all investigated pomace extracts are a potential source ofnatural bioactive compounds, and that the antioxidant activityenriched juice indicates the possibility of using these extracts,as a functional additive in the production of various high-valuefood products.

Ingeborg Bachmann in Malina and Brigitte Schwaiger in Lange Abwesenheit describe the absence of a good father-daughter-relationship. In the second half of the twentieth century authors became interested in what their fathers left behind both privately and politically. Malina and Lange Abwesenheit are a glance backward by the daughters at their lives with their fathers. The daughters search for positive aspects of those relationships and strive to understand both the strengths and the weaknesses of their fathers in order to achieve self-identification. Bachmann and Schwaiger avoid the closed novel form, writing non-chronologically by breaking up their works with dreams, diaries, letters and conversation.

in English The aim of this diploma thesis is to compare novels by Elfriede Jelinek, Ingeborg Bachmann, and Thomas Bernhard on the grounds of each authors' different understanding of language and its limits. The first part is concerned with what I found typical of the novels: Bachmann's Malina (1971) describes and represents the search for (non-violent) language, Jelinek's The Piano Teacher (1983) makes use of violent language as a weapon against violence, and Bernhard's novels problematize the question of truth and objectivity by means of first-person narrators and nested testimonies. The second part uses Roman Jakobson's theory of language as a combination of metaphor and metonymy and shows the ways in which novels can emphasize one or the other pole and what it tells about the language as a whole. Especially in the case of the texts by Bachmann and Jelinek, the important methodological models for his paper are feminist theories: theories of language and means of expression (Drucilla Cornell, John Berger), theories of cultural conditionality of the body (Simone de Beauvoir, Iris Marion Young) and feminist texts which connect body and language (Beatrice Hanssen). On the contrary, in the novels and for their analysis, the approaches that allow for gender essentialism (Luce Irigaray) prove to be...

Mathematics achievement has been of great concern to researchers involved in mathematics education. This concern has resulted in research seeking to determine for example, the factors that positively or negatively contribute to student performance in mathematics. Many of the reported studies in the literature have investigated the factors within the context of mathematics teaching and learning in general. Very few studies have investigated the factors contributing to student achievement in mathematics when learning takes place in a computer aided environment. With the pervasiveness of computers in education in general, studies in this direction become imperative. The present study fills this gap in the literature by examining the extent to which selected variables (mathematics attitude, mathematics aptitude, computer attitude, computer prior experience, computer ownership, proficiency in language of instruction, and learning style) contribute to students' achievements in pre-calculus algebra classes that are supplemented with a computer lab program. The participants in the study were 120 students sampled from the population of students enrolled in the second pre-calculus algebra course at the preparatory year program of King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals during the 2003/2004 academic session. The instruments used to measure the study constructs were the mathematics attitude scale (Aiken, 1979), the computer attitudes scale (Loyd & Gressard, 1984a), and the learning styles questionnaire (Honey & Mumford, 1992). New instruments to measure computer prior experience and computer ownership were developed for the present study. Hypotheses formulated for the study were tested using multiple regression and other statistical techniques. The results show that mathematics aptitudes and English language proficiency are the most significant contributors to students' mathematics achievement. No other variables show statistically significant effects on students' achievement. Together, the selected variables explain more than 41 percent of the total variance of students' achievement. Theoretical and policy-making implications of the results are outlined and discussed.
