Abstract:

“Voiceprints of an Astronaut” is a multi-faceted collection of poems that explores the fluid borders between memory and the imagined, the personal and the sociohistorical. The “voiceprints” of the title poem are the words, both imagined and real, of the only twelve men who ever walked on the moon. My own device, of an imagined ‘interview’ with figures from history, is deployed in the title poem. It is also used, for example, in the form of voiceprints from R.L. Stevenson, (“Tusitala”), Mary Queen of Scots’ maidservant, (“Beheaded”,“A Prayer fir James VI”), an acrobat-magician from the Qin Dynasty, (Bi xi Terracotta) and a time-travelling 14th century monk transposed to the Scottish Poetry Library (“In the Library”). In poems such as “Earthrise”, “Starlight from Saturn”, “In the Library”, and “Lines for Edwin Morgan” the tone is lyrical, taking the form of the sonnet, or sometimes simply reflecting the ghost of a sonnet framework. Recent events such as the Haiti earthquake are reflected, at times, by a purely personal response, such as in “Beads”, while poems about the Aids epidemic in the 80’s, (“Lunch-times with Rick”, “The Quilts”) spring from a period as Medical Correspondent for the Guardian, covering Aids conferences in London, Stockholm, Montreal and San Francisco. Others, such as “Roosevelt’s Bats”, “Fire-and-Forget” and “At Sea” are responses to modern war and conflict. In all of these, my aim has been to explore the political through the personal. The poems in this collection reflect an adult life split, almost equally, between two cities: Edinburgh and London. Regular visits too, to North America are another influence. An important part of the journey involved in writing these poems was a discovery of a Scots voice I thought I’d misplaced, only to find again, in poems such as “Beheaded” or “Haud tae me”. Some of these poems are autobiographical, dealing with parenthood, childhood, and growing up. Others, such as “Dana Point” or “Boy with Frog” celebrate a moment, a time and a place. In the case of the series of poems beginning with “Jim” and ending with “Black and White” the places and times take the form of memories, both in Scotland and Canada, of a much older sister. The critical essay that forms the second part of this thesis is entitled “Politics and the Personal in the Sonnet and Sonnet Sequence: Edwin Morgan's “Glasgow Sonnets”, Tony Harrison's “from The School of Eloquence” and selected sonnets by Paul Muldoon”. The first chapter examines the use of the sonnet form in Edwin Morgan’s “Glasgow Sonnets”; the second chapter concerns the sonnets written by Tony Harrison in from The School of Eloquence and Other Poems, published in 1978, while the third chapter looks at selected sonnets by Paul Muldoon.

Full text

Abstract:

Augusta Webster's (1837--1894) sonnet sequence Mother and Daughter (1895), twenty-seven sonnets spoken by a mother who is also a poet to her daughter and only child, combines the popular Victorian genre of motherhood poetry with the long-standing and highly codified tradition of the romantic sonnet sequence. Webster's fusion of these genres questions the primary assumption which underlies both traditions, that the poetic object, be it beloved or child, must be distanced from, "other" to, the poet himself or herself. Webster suggests a different, even radical, model of poetic creation and interaction between poet and object, as the daughter becomes an integral part of, and takes an active role in, the development of the mother-poet's psyche and the related writing of the sonnet sequence itself. The mother-daughter relationship which develops throughout the sequence is one of reciprocality and connectivity. Chapter 1 will provide background to the two genres under discussion, the familiar and often-explored sonnet sequence and the rarely-discussed topic of Victorian motherhood poetry. The second chapter introduces the intersubjectivity theory of feminist psychoanalyst Jessica Benjamin as an entree into the relationship of mutuality, then explores the intersubjective nature of selected sonnets. Chapter 3 discusses the breakdown and re-establishment of the reciprocal relationship, while Chapter 4 examines the effects of this intersubjective relationship on the aging mother's poetic confidence and the linguistic maturation of the mother-daughter relationship.

Abstract:

Etablir la carte genetique de l'homme consiste a repertorier les localisations geniques et a les ordonner le long des chromosomes. Ceci permet l'analyse: 1) de la situation d'un gene en se referant a ceux qui sont deja localises, 2) des familles multigeniques, 3) des maladies hereditaires et chromosomiques, 4) de l'evolution des especes. Le travail presente ici reunit des localisations geniques utilisant des methodes de cartographie physique; il est oriente selon deux axes: la carte genetique de liaison ou carte factorielle, pour les sondes anonymes polymorphes; la carte genetique physique pour les sequences codantes. Les localisations de sondes anonymes polymorphes regroupent, outre la localisation principe du gene de la fibrose kystique du pancreas, celle de 14 sondes genomiques en collaboration avec collaborative research et de 8 segments d'adn hautement polymorphes et 7 vntr, en collaboration avec l'equipe de ray white. Les localisations de sequences codantes sont presentees en trois sections: localisations fines utilisant un panel d'hybrides somatiques homme-rongeur et hybridation in situ sur chromosomes metaphasiques (amh; ren; gfap; c1s; c1s; c1inh); localisations relativement precises mettant a profit l'existence de translocations chromosomiques (myl1; chrng/chrnd; d6leh89); et localisations chromosomiques simples, utilisant le panel d'hybrides somatiques (myl3; myl4; chat; aldoa; 49ht8; bcei). L'elaboration progressive d'une carte genetique incluant des donnees de plus en plus nombreuses et precises trouve ses applications dans l'etude des maladies genetiques, de la biologie du developpement, des cancers et tumeurs hematopoietiques. L'application medicale immediate en est le diagnostic prenatal de maladies hereditaires. Une autre application, majeure, est representee par l'identification de genes, conduisant a elucider les mecanismes physiopathologiques de la maladie, a concevoir a facon des therapeutiques et en envisager une therapie genique

Abstract:

Chlamydophila pecorum est une espèce bactérienne intracellulaire obligatoire de la famille Chlamydiaceae. Le criblage d’une banque génomique de C. pecorum en utilisant un sérum ovin spécifique a permis d’identifier la protéine de la membrane d’inclusion (IncA) comme un candidat potentiel pour le sérodiagnostic de C. pecorum et de mettre en évidence une séquence répétée codante (CTR) riche en alanine et proline dans le gène incA de C. pecorum. Cette CTR présente des motifs d’acides aminés différents suivant la pathogénicité des souches de C. pecorum. La variabilité génétique de 19 souches de C. pecorum isolées de ruminant a été étudiée par MVLST (multi-virulence sequence typing). Les gènes ompA qui code pour la protéine majeure de la membrane externe, incA et l’ORF663 (cadre ouvert de lecture) permettent de différencier les souches pathogènes de C. pecorum des souches non-pathogènes. Cette hypothèse a été confirmée sur 32 autres souches comprenant 11 souches isolées de porcs. Les souches de C. pecorum isolées de lésions sont génétiquement différentes des souches isolées d’animaux asymptomatiques. Les 3 gènes ompA, incA et l’ORF663 sont des marqueurs moléculaire épidémiologiques potentiels qui pourraient être liés à la virulence de C. pecorum
Chlamydophila pecorum, an obligate intracellular bacterium belonged to Chlamydiaceae family. Screening of a genomic DNA library of C. pecorum by using a specific ovine serum, allowed to identify inclusion membrane protein (IncA) as a potential candidate for C. pecorum serodiagnosis and to highlight a coding tandem repeat (CTR) rich in alanine and proline in the C. pecorum incA gene. The CTR presents several amino acids motifs according to the pathogenesis of C. pecorum strains. The genetic variability of 19 C. pecorum strains isolated from ruminants was studied using MVLST (multi-virulence sequence typing) system. The genes ompA that code for the major outer membrane protein, incA and ORF663 (open reading frame) allowed to distinguish the pathogenic C. pecorum strains from non-pathogenic strains. This hypothesis was confirmed on additional 32 strains including 11 strains isolated from swine. The C. pecorum strains isolated from clinical cases are genetically different from strains isolated from healthy animals. ompA, incA and ORF663 genes are epidemiological molecular markers which could be related to the virulence of C. pecorum

Abstract:

Les avancees considerables realisees dans le domaine de la synthese de fragments d'adn et des methodes d'analyse de structures, notamment en resonance magnetique nucleaire (rmn) et en modelisation moleculaire, ont permis d'ameliorer nos connaissances des interactions adn-ligand. Notre travail s'inscrit dans cette problematique. Nous avons plus particulierement etudie deux classes de molecules qui ont respectivement des applications potentielles comme (1) sondes de chiralite de l'adn ou comme (2) nucleases artificielles interagissant specifiquement au niveau des lesions abasiques (ap-lyases). A l'aide d'une approche theorique par modelisation moleculaire, nous avons evalue la capacite de reconnaissance chirale de l'adn en conformation b (helice droite) de la base de trger 9,19-methano-9,10,19,20-tetrahydrodiacridino-b,f-1,5-diazocine. Cette molecule composee de deux noyaux aromatiques formant entre eux un angle d'environ 90, existe sous la forme de deux enantiomeres 1r,5r et 1s,5s. Nous avons montre que l'enantiomere 1s,5s etait susceptible de s'associer plus fortement avec l'adn-b que l'enantiomere 1r,5r. D'autre part par la rmn et par la modelisation moleculaire, nous avons determine la structure tridimensionnelle d'un undecamere contenant en son centre un analogue chimiquement stable du site abasique de type tetrahydrofurane (x), et de sequence d(cgcacxcacgc). D(gcgtgtgtgcg). Si pour cette sequence la thymine situee en face du site abasique conserve une position intrahelicoidale, la lesion induit toutefois un coude d'environ 30. L'utilisation conjointe des techniques de rmn et modelisation moleculaire, nous a permis d'etudier egalement la reconnaissance de cette lesion par des systemes de type base-chaine-intercalant doues d'activite de coupure, et de preciser le mode d'interaction de ces ap-lyases de synthese: (1) la base est situee dans la loge abasique et probablement appariee avec la thymine qui lui fait face, selon un mode de type hoogsteen ; (2) la chaine est positionnee dans le petit sillon ; (3) l'intercalant est situe a deux paires de bases et uniquement du cote 5' du site abasique. Nous avons enfin mis en evidence par rmn que le site abasique constituait un site d'intercalation preferentiel pour l'intercalant bromure d'ethidium. L'ensemble de ces resultats constitue une base structurale importante pour la recherche de nouvelles sondes de chiralite de l'adn ou de molecules capables d'interagir specifiquement au niveau des lesions abasiques

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with one key aspect of the reception of the vernacular poetry of Francesco Petrarca (Petrarch), namely translations and imitations of the Rerum vulgarium fragmenta (Rvf) and Triumphi in English. It aims to provide a more comprehensive survey of the vernacular Petrarch’s legacy to English literature than is currently available, with a particular focus on some hitherto critically neglected texts and authors. It also seeks to ascertain to what degree the socio-historical phenomena of religion, politics, and culture have influenced the translations and imitations in question. The approach has been both chronological and comparative. This strategy will demonstrate with greater clarity the monumental effect of the Elizabethan Reformation on the English reception of Petrarch. It proposes a solution to the problem of the long gap between Geoffrey Chaucer’s re-writing of Rvf 132 and the imitations of Wyatt and Surrey framed in the context of Chaucer’s sophisticated imitative strategy (Chapter I). A fresh reading of Sir Philip Sidney’s Astrophil and Stella is offered which highlights the author’s misgivings about the dangers of textual misinterpretation, a concern he shared with Petrarch (Chapter II). The analysis of Edmund Spenser’s Amoretti and Epithalamion in the same chapter reveals a hitherto undetected Ovidian subtext to Petrarch’s Rvf 190. Chapter III deals with two English versions of the Triumphi: I propose a date for Lord Morley’s translation which suggests it may be the first post- Chaucerian English engagement with Petrarch; new evidence is brought to light which identifies the edition of Petrarch used by William Fowler as the source text for his Triumphs of Petrarcke. The fourth chapter constitutes the most extensive investigation to date of J. M. Synge’s engagement with the Rvf, and deals with the question of translation as subversion. On the theoretical front, it demonstrates how Synge’s use of “folk-speech” challenges Venuti’s binary foreignising/domesticating system of translation categorisation.

Abstract:

My dissertation revises our assumptions about the Renaissance commonplace that poetic monuments last longer than marble ones. We tend to understand the commonplace as being about the materiality of artistic media and thus the comparative durability of text and stone. In contrast, I argue that English Renaissance poets and theorists treat the monument of verse as a space where their hopes for the poem’s future converge with broader cultural concerns about the reception of the ancient past and the place of English vernacular poetry within the hierarchy of classical and contemporary European letters. In Renaissance poetics manuals, authors appropriate a newly classicizing architectural vocabulary to communicate confidence in the lasting power of English poetic structures. Through their use of architectural metaphors, they defend their vernacular against charges of vulgar barbarism and promote the civilizing potential of English verse. Yet if lyric poets also turn to architectural metaphors to make claims about poetry’s enduring quality, they simultaneously disclose a deep unease about the perils of textual transmission. Indeed, monumentalizing conceits often appear most powerfully in poetic genres predicated on failed hopes and frustrated desires, that is, in the sonnet sequences and complaints of Edmund Spenser, Samuel Daniel, and William Shakespeare. In acknowledging the fragility of the textual and architectural remains of antiquity, lyric poets from Spenser forward consider their own textual futures with an entirely new sense of urgency. I argue, however, that their unease about the future of their art has as much to do with the genres in which they write and their suspicions about the shifting reading practices of future audiences as it does with the material vulnerability of the medium that transmits that art. In the sonnet sequence in particular, lyric poets who monumentalize their beloved partake in—and anxiously question—early modern practices of constructing funeral monuments for the living. I argue that these poets’ fantasy of entombing those who are still in the prime of their lives turns out to be less about a future rebirth than an obsessive, premature preparation for death.
