Abstract:
This paper proposes to explore gender relations in Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent. Operating from the knowledge that gender is culturally determined feminists criticize male-dominated patriarchal societies, which they argue marginalize or discount women by limiting their opportunity for self-definition and self-actualization. The question that needs to be addressed, then, is: Is gender relation in The Secret Agent constructed around stereotypical representations? Or can this work be read otherwise? Our assumption is that Conrad’s criticism of such patriarchal system is done through irony. The ‘Edenic home’ that would embody Conrad’s cherished ideals is, as we know, a home browbeaten by a political exile. We shall argue that Conrad deals narratively with his own traumatic history by displacing it onto Winnie’s otherness. This traumatic event is ironically expressed in the falling down of the novel’s house, the house of an overweening, unquestioned patriarchy. On one hand, the fallen house symbolizes the ‘idealization’ of the Western society. On the other hand, it raises ideological issues in relation to the “Other”, the oppressed. We shall argue that the evidence of his biography, correspondence, and the fictional work under study suggest a complex relationship between the writer, the women in his life, and the fictional female characters. The importance of the female character, Winnie Verloc, may be explained by the fact that women played a vital role during his youth in Poland. In a letter of 1900 to Edward Garnett, Conrad himself remarked on the benefit he had received from the close bond and the extraordinary ‘sister-cult’ established amongst the Bobrowski women.

Abstract:
Nowadays, there are so many people talking and discussing what we called terrorism. However, most of us still do not have sufficient insight related to the kinds, motivations, and purposes of terror attacks. This paper is aimed to find the types of terror attack as reflected in The Secret Agent by Joseph Conrad and to show the causes of terror as reflected in the novel. The researchers apply descriptive qualitative as the method of analyzing the data. Some of the research findings are as follows. First, the terror attacks found in the novel are physical and mental. Second, the causes of terror are political and economic.

Abstract:
Of his nineteen years as a sailor, from 1874 to 1894, Joseph Conrad actually worked on ships for ten years and eight months, of which just over eight years were spent at sea, including nine months as a passenger (Najder 161–62). During these nomadic years, London was the place to which he returned again and again to seek his next berth, staying in a series of sailors’ homes, lodgings, and boarding houses. How did he spend his time, a single man with no family and few friends, whose main occupation was waiting? He recalled, in the preface toThe Secret Agent, “solitary and nocturnal walks all over London in my early days” (7). Ford Madox Ford says that Conrad knew all the bars around Fenchurch Street (which links the financial centre of the City of London to Whitechapel and the East End) from his days of waiting for a ship. Returning to the area later in life, according to Ford's slightly improbable memory, he “became at once the city-man gentleman-adventurer with an eye for a skirt,” who “could tell you where every husky earringed fellow with a blue, white-spotted handkerchief under his arm was going to. . . .” (Joseph Conrad116, 117). The reality of these London sojourns was probably less romantic, most of the time. But there was one place where a sailor ashore, without much money, could always go for company and entertainment: the music-hall.

Abstract:
The article examines the largely forgotten British émigré film Dark Journey, its Swedish setting and Scandinavian release. The spy drama, which tells the story of German and French secret agents in Stockholm during World War I by mixing thriller elements with romance, raises a number of questions regarding the representation of spies in a Scandinavian context, Sweden as a contested film market in the later 1930s and the transnational production strategy of films made at the Denham studios in Britain. It is one of the films that helped the profession of secret agents to change its image from a dingy and unchivalrous activity to an adventurous, illustrious and cosmopolitan enterprise. Interestingly, the film offers a very positive portrayal of its German protagonist, played by Conrad Veidt, that is at odds with other Anglo-American spy films but not at all uncommon for Swedish spy fiction.

Abstract:
Winnie Verloc's role in "The Secret Agent" has received little initial critical attention. However, this character emerges as Conrad's hero in this novel because she is an exception to what afflicts the other characters: institutionalism. In the first chapter, I discuss the effect of institutions on the characters in the novel as well as on London, and how both the characters and the city lack hope and humanity. Chapter II is an analysis of Winnie's character, concentrating on her philosophy that "life doesn't stand much looking into," and how this view, coupled with her disturbing experience of having looked into the "abyss," makes Winnie heroic in her affirmative existentialism. Chapters III and IV broaden the focus, comparing Winnie to Conrad's other protagonists and to his other female characters.

Abstract:
The aim of this essay is to investigate ways in which the narrative in Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent reflects the political views within and around the novel. The narrative focus of the essay is plot-structure and focalisation, and the political focus circles around anarchy and anarchism. The essay discusses how the anarchist’s belief in individual freedom and Conrad’s scepticism towards politics is reflected in the novel’s narration. I also discuss how the narrator uses irony to reflect Conrad’s scepticism.

Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent was first published in 1907 and has been read and debated – especially by scholars – since then due to its unique literary techniques and approach on the subject of espionage, politics and domestic drama. In the 9/11 aftermath, however, The Secret Agent was rediscovered as a "prophetic text", since its plot contains disturbingly familiar elements to us. To enlist some: a group of men who hate the modern capitalist society and wishes to destroy it; a conspiracy targeting a main symbol of such society; an outrage made with "destructive ferocity so absurd as to be incomprehensible"; a terrorist who walks by the streets seeking for an opportunity to blow himself and anyone around. Such elements, despite of their temporal distance of a hundred years from the release of Conrad's book, send us in a questioning not only about the usual literary subjects – plot, narrator, style – but also in a sociological and historical perspective between ours and Conrad’s turn-of-the-century perceptions. In order to analyze the novel in such perspectives, a multidisciplinary approach was used. It led us to conclude that "The Secret Agent" describes extremely human and universal feelings and behaviors that surpass any ordinary historical or sociological categorizations, reaching a deep and dreadful truth about timeless human nature.
O agente secreto de Joseph Conrad foi publicado pela primeira vez em 1907 e, desde então, foi lido e debatido - principalmente por estudiosos da literatura - devido a sua técnica literária única e ao tratamento dado pela narrativa a temas como a espionagem, política e drama familiar. Após os atentados do "Onze de Setembro", entretanto, O agente secreto foi redescoberto sob uma perspectiva "profética", uma vez que seu enredo contém elementos tristemente familiares para nós: um grupo de homens que odeiam a moderna sociedade capitalista e desejam destruí-la; uma conspiração para atacar um dos principais símbolos dessa sociedade; um atentado com uma "ferocidade destrutiva tão absurda quanto incompreensível"; um terrorista que vaga pelas ruas em busca de uma oportunidade para explodir a sim mesmo e todos em torno. Tais elementos, a despeito de escritos há cem anos, nos remetem a uma busca não apenas sobre os elementos literários de praxe – enredo, narração, estilo – mas numa perspectiva histórica e sociológica entre a percepção da nossa virada de século (XXI) e aquela da época de Conrad (XX). Para completar essa busca, servimo-nos de uma abordagem multidisciplinar. Concluímos que O agente secreto descreve ações e sentimentos de extrema humanidade e universalidade. Tais ações e sentimentos ultrapassam classificações históricas e sociais e também revelam algumas das profundas e terríveis verdades sobre a atemporal natureza humana.

Abstract:
Abstract: The components of this paper are essentially based on grammatical cohesion which comprises reference (nominal and demonstrative), substitution and ellipsis (both nominal, verbal and clausal) and were selected from "Silent Snow, Secret Snow" by Conrad Aiken. Considering the language used by the author and by virtue of the cohesive peculiarity of the short story, we proposed a division of the text into two distinct parts, presenting, there fore, a new perspective in terms of structure, without any intention of altering the structural originality of the text,which is based on the sequence of the events presented in a chronological-, order.' This division into two parts may be justified by the relevance of the cataphoric items found in the first part and the anaphoric ones in the second, related to the same character(subject) and subject matter. In other words, the cataphoric elements in the first part (up to paragraph 20) become anaphoric in the second part (from paragraph 20 on), from the moment in which the name "Paul Hasleman" and "the snow" become explicit. With regard to the tables, the structure presented refers especially, to the first and the third ones. The other tables contribute to a more comprehensive study of the grammatical cohesion in the text. We may say that: Table One : : contains • cataphoric data up to paragraph 20 of the text; Table Two: registers anaphoric data up to paragraph 20 as well; Table Three: comprises anaphoric data - which were cataphoric from paragraph 20 up to the end of the short story; Table Four: contains substitution data (nominal, verbal ' and clausal) throughout the text; Table Five: registers data concerning ellipsis (also nominal, verbal and clausal) throughout the short story as well. All data analysed were selected having in : mind the cohesive relation between at least two sentences. Through out the data, the cataphoric items seem to contribute more effectively to preserve the essentially foggy atmosphere of the first paragraphs of the short story. But the same effect is not produced by anaphora (reference, substitution and ellipsis) which, while considering i its practical aspect/ taking the reader back to occurrences already mentioned and events previously refered to, promotes a more satisfactory interaction between the reader and the text in terms of comprehension. The attempt made in order to establish a parallel between grammatical cohesion and the atmosphere of the: text, considering the first as a "linguistic metaphor" of the second, enabled us to perceive vagueness as a result , not only of other elements of literary creation, but also as the result of the linguistic structures used by the author. The exophoric data and the comparative reference which also belong to the study of the grammatical - cohesive relations, were not considered for they do not present the cohesive relations proposed above. As the cohesive relations are not limited to those analysed in this paper, the lexical and the conjunctive items, were presented as proposed topic for further research completing thus the study of the cohesive relations found in the text.

Full text
Abstract:
Diacylglycerol (DG) kinase catalyzes the reaction: DG + ATP phosphatidic acid + ADP and it is widely distributed in animal tissues. The enzyme seems to play a pivotal role in removing a second messenger, DG, which activates protein kinase C. DG kinase inhibitor, R 59 022 (6-[2-[4-[(4-fluorophenyl)pheny1- methylene] -1-piperidinyl] ethyl] -7-methyl-5H-thiazolo [3,2-a] -pirimidin-5-one) has recently been developed. In order to gain further insight into the role of DG in the secretory response, effects of the DG kinase inhibitor on secretory responses and Ca2+ mobilization were investigated in human platelets.The addition of the DG kinase inhibitor (10 μM) potentiated thrombin-induced accumulation of [3H]radioactivity of DG in platelets loaded with [3H] arachidonate. Thrombin-induced release of [3H] arachidonic acid and its metabolites was not affected by the inhibitor. The inhibitor did not cause significant secretion of [14C] serotonin by itself. However, the pretreatment with this agent potentiated the level of secretion in thrombin-stimulated platelets. When l-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol(OAG) was added to [32pjpi-iabeled platelets in the presence of the DG kinase inhibitor, the formation of [32P] l-oleoyl-2-acetylphosphatidic acid was greatly prevented. The pretreatment with the inhibitor also potentiated OAG-induced serotonin secretion. With the view that Ca2+ is thought to be another important second messenger, we investigated the effect of the DG kinase inhibitor on Ca2+ mobilization. Two types of Ca2+ indicators, Quin2 and aequorin were used to measure cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). The inhibitor alone did not affect [Ca2+]i. Interestingly, thrombin-induced increase in [Ca2+]i was suppressed by the pretreatment with this agent both in the Quin2-loaded and aequorin-loaded platelets.These results indicate that diacylglycerol kinase may operate as an attenuator in the signal transduction system involving protein kinase C and that Ca2+ mobilization may not be tightly coupled to serotonin secretion.
