Academic literature on the topic 'Vintila'

Abstract European writer of Romanian origin, Vintila Horia (1915-1992) - Goncourt Prize in 1960 for the novel Dieu est né enexil - was a truly awakened consciousness of his time. Wherever he was - in Bucharest or Florence, Buenos Aires or Paris, Rome or Madrid - this “polyglot nomad” (Jean-François-Malherbe) never left the unyielding values of the spirit and of knowledge. His work of literary epistemology, hisnovelistic creation - fed by exile, love and by the divine -, as well as the Journal d’un paysan du Danube (1966), stand as testimony. Focal point of my approach, this text sheds light on the metaphysical realm of a way of thinking in which the undivided man (a double-faced reality: big infinity /small infinity) and the man to come are one and the same. Since for the exiled VintilaHoria,”the peasant from the Danube” is “celui dans lequel ce qui fut rencontre celui qui sera, dans un espace-temps non-euclidien”, and his journal emphasizes this “rediscovery”, in spite of the dark times of history; an encounter in, through and beyond the broken grounds of science, art and philosophy, but nevertheless, deeply anchored in philosophy, art and science. Apparently, rediscovery and isolation of the same proportion; in fact, we are talking about an anagnorisis: the inner man and the outer man have never separated, despite the “microbial fauna of Kali Yuga” (“la faunemicrobienne du Kali Yuga”). “Nomade polyglotte” through his evolution, a result of flawless reflexive stability, Vintila Horia proves himself to be, at the same time, animmobile nomad; “the peasant from the Danube” is the plenary expression of this unusual simultaneity.

Abstract The Romanian-born European writer Vintilă Horia - whose birth centenary is celebrated this year - was a genuine searcher of truth. His entire work pleads for transgressive-integrating knowledge, in opposition to binary logic and scientism; it is the privileged space of articulation between cognition, creation and gnosis, between the apophatism of science, mystic apofatism and artistic apofatism. Although much less known than the trilogy of exile - Dieu est né en exil (1960), Le chevalier de la résignation (1961) and ¡Perseguid a Boecio! (1983) - the small-sized novel Le voyage à San Marcos (1972) acts as an exemplary attestation to this pompous conjunction. The current article focuses especially on the text’s trans-temporal valence

The main purpose of this research is to present the developed VINTRA system, a comprehensive solution to a fully developed public transit system in Lithuania, and it is very important in encouraging travelers to use public transport. VINTRA is not simply a trip planner; it is capable of planning multimodal public transport trips, using different parameters in public transport trip planning. This system has the functionality to create and edit public transport route trajectories and to edit and calculate timetables according to the distance between stops. This research presents the public transport trip planning parameters procedure of the calculated walking route directions, integrated with the calculation results of public transit routes, as well as combining visualization in digital maps. This paper also discusses how route-planning systems could perform data exchange based on General Transit Feed Specification and how assessment of the public transport trip planning results, compared to the VINTRA system created with Google, was performed.

Le problème posé par la littérature d'exil après la chute du régime communiste, en 1989, n'est plus de la rendre familière aux lecteurs roumains. Notre but maintenant devrait être la synchronisation de cette littérature, ayant souvent des dimensions impressionnantes, avec la création artistique du pays d'origine, bref en trouver un canon littéraire commun. Les auteurs qui font l'objet de cet ouvrage - Vintilă Horia, Constantin Virgil Gheorghiu et L. M. Arcade - ont fait de l'exil le point de départ de leur œuvre, en affirmant que l'exil est par excellence la condition de l'homme au XXème siècle. Un des buts de cet ouvrage est de trouver des éléments communs dans les oeuvres, bien différentes, des trois écrivains roumains (Horia, Gheorghiu, Arcade) pour lesquels le sentiment de dépaysement est devenu le signe du tragisme existential ; l'autre vise à établir une correspondance entre l'évolution de la littérature écrite à l'étranger et celle soumise aux rigueurs communistes, ayant comme critère initial la période de création
The challenge raised by exile’s literature nowadays is not only to become familiar with it. Our main purpose should be now to synchronize this literature, impressive in size, with the artistic creation from Romania, briefly to find a common literary canon. The writers subjected to analyze -Vintilă Horia, Constantin Virgil Gheorghiu and L. M. Arcade – created their literary work based on the notion of exile. The authors applied this notion to other domains and came to the conclusion that it represents the leading feature of 20th century man. One of the main purposes of this thesis is to find common elements in the literary work of three Romanian writers (Horia, Vintila and Arcade) for whom the feeling of alienation from their own country represents a sign of tragic existence; my other goal aims to establish a connection between the evolution of the literature written abroad and the one subjected to the rigors of the communist regime, considering the criterion of the creation period

Cette thèse se propose d’analyser la relation entre l’exil, la création littéraire et leslangues d’écritures dans l’oeuvre de Vintila Horia. Les méthodes que nous avons utilisées – lacomparaison de quelques exemples célèbres d’exils, l’analyse thématique et psychanalytiquedes romans, l’application aux textes de Horia des nouvelles théories concernant le personnageet l’écrivain comme personnage, tout cela signale l’interdisciplinarité et désigne la pluralité denotre domaine d’étude, à savoir la littérature de l’exil. Le corpus comprend les romans Dieuest né en exil, Le Chevalier de la résignation, Persécutez Boèce !, Une Femme pourl’Apocalypse, Les Impossibles, Le Voyage à San Marcos, La Septième lettre et Les Clefs ducrépuscule. Nous y avons ajouté des textes non fictionnels tels le Journal d’un paysan duDanube et des fragments de la correspondance de l’auteur avec son frère, de même que desarticles de presse, et des textes fictionnels qui ne s’inscrivaient pas du point de vuelinguistique à notre démarche, mais qui révèlent l’unité de l’oeuvre.Le fil conducteur de notre thèse est l’exil, étudié dans ses aspects multiples ; enparticulier nous avons surtout insisté sur le fait que l’exil déclenche et stimule la création. Deplus, l’exil apparaît comme un élément diffus, insinué dans les oeuvres, au point que saprésence ne se révèle pas toujours de la même manière.Dans la première partie, l’exil est présenté comme concept qui nécessite unedéfinition ou une redéfinition, selon plusieurs perspectives. L’analyse de l’exil (considérécomme réalité objective sociopolitique, psychologique et littéraire) procède d’une certainetradition européenne de l’exil ; elle est représentée par les Russes et par les Allemands. Cesdeux exemples se distinguent non seulement du point de vue quantitatif, mais aussi du pointde vue qualitatif. Aussi ont-ils servi de base à une démarche inductive qui tache de construireune théorie de l’exil en littérature, susceptible ensuite de s’appliquer, de manière déductive,au cas roumain, en particulier au cas de Vintila Horia.La deuxième partie est l’étude de cas induite précédemment. Le « portrait » de Horiaest réalisé à partir de ses propres textes, ce qui évite l’introduction d’une biographietraditionnelle dans la thèse et rend compte de la direction de recherche adoptée. L’intérêt decette partie est d’observer l’évolution identitaire et linguistique de l’individu Vintila Horiadans sa vie personnelle et surtout dans sa vie d’écrivain. Le plurilinguisme de sa création y estconçu comme un intermédiaire entre sa brève existence monolingue et sa francophoniepotentielle.La dernière partie s’appuie davantage sur les textes de Horia. Le roman Dieu est néen exil y occupe une place centrale, mais son analyse n’occulte pas l’importance d’autrestextes de l’écrivain et qui relèvent de sa préoccupation pour les problèmes théoriques de lacréation romanesque. Le dernier chapitre (qui propose une lecture nouvelle de l’oeuvre deHoria) est constitué de deux parties entre lesquelles l’analyse des romans se fait de manièrecontinue mais selon des perspectives différentes. Le point de départ de la première partieréside dans l’observation des pouvoirs bénéfiques de l’écriture sur l’existence de l’exilé. Acette occasion sont pris en compte d’autres moyens à travers lesquels l’exilé se défend contrela peine résultant de sa nouvelle condition. Le fonctionnement de ces moyens est suivi au6niveau des textes littéraires. Dans la seconde partie du chapitre les questions de l’écriture et del’écrivain deviennent centrales. Par les thèmes abordés – celui du personnage-écrivain et celuide la présence de l’auteur au niveau de son texte – Horia se révèle comme un auteur moderne,malgré l’air archaïque de son oeuvre
The objective of this study is to analyze the connection between exile, literarycreation and the languages used by Vintila Horia in his works. The methodology of thepresent study – based on the comparison of several famous exile cases, the thematic andpsychoanalytic analysis of the novels, the application of the new theories about the writer as acharacter to Horia’s work – indicates the interdisciplinary and plural nature of our field ofstudy, which is the literature of exile. The corpus consists of the following novels: Dieu est néen exil, Le Chevalier de la résignation, Persécutez Boèce !, Une Femme pour l’Apocalypse,Les Impossibles, Le Voyage à San Marcos, La Septième lettre and Les Clefs du crépuscule. Tothese, we have added some non fictional texts such as Journal d’un paysan du Danube, somepassages of the correspondence between the author and this brother, some press articles andfinally some fictional texts that were linguistically separated from the rest of our corpus, butwere chosen for their capacity of proving the unity of the work.Our study was built around the concept of exile, studied in its multiple forms, ofwhich we chose to insist on the one that represents this phenomenon as an initiator and animpulse of the human creative attitude. The exile is conceived in our research as an elementdiffused into the works in various manners, thus requiring different approaches.In the first section exile appears as a concept in search of its own definition,approached from different perspectives. The analysis of the exile (as an objective,sociopolitical, psychological and literary reality) was based on the existence of a tradition ofexile in Europe, best represented by the Russian and the German case. These two exampleswere distinguished not only quantitatively but also qualitatively. That is why they were usedin the developing of an inductive approach that was aimed at the discovery of a theory on theliterature of exile, to be subsequently used for the description of the Romanian exile,especially that of Vintila Horia.The second section is the case study previously announced. The „portrait” of Horia iscreated on the basis of his own texts, which gives us the opportunity to offer a less traditionalform of biography. It also indicates the direction of our research. This section has focused onthe development of Vintila Horia – as a man and as a writer – seen under the aspects oflanguage and identity. The plurilingualism of his creation is designed as an intermediarybetween his short monolingual existence and his potential Francophony.7The third and last section is based even to a greater extent on the author’s texts. Dieuest né en exil helds a central position in this process, yet its analysis does not reduce theimportance of other texts, that refer to the author’s interest in theoretical matters of the literarycreation, especially that of the novel. The last chapter is composed by two parts connected bythe analysis of the novels undertaken from different perspectives. The starting point of thefirst part is the observation of the positive effects of writing on the exile. On this occasion westudied some means of defense used by the exile in order to face his new existence. Wesearched and examined these elements at text’s level. The second part of the chapter focusedon the matters of writing and writer. The topics present in Horia’s novels – the writer as acharacter and the presence of the author in the text itself – reveal a modern writer, in spite ofthe archaic appearance of his work

Den här studien fokuserar på mediers bilder av alkohol och hur dessa framställs språkligt i svensk morgontv. Specifikt studeras dryckesinslagen i två avsnitt av SVT:s Gomorron Sverige respektive TV4:s Nyhetsmorgon. Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur alkohol som fenomen konstrueras i dessa program och därigenom öka förståelsen för det fenomenet samt bidra till teoretiseringen av mediers bilder av alkohol. För att komma åt dessa konstruktioner används multimodal kritisk diskursanalys (MCDA) både som teori och metod. Studiens teoretiska ramverk utgår även från morgontv-genrens programformat och dess journalistiska approach samt en teori om mediers legitimerande verkan. Studiens tillvägagångssätt grundar sig i analysbegrepp hämtade från MCDA vilka möjliggör en kvalitativ kritisk studie av programmens språkanvändning. Språk inom MCDA innefattar verbalt och skriftligt språk samt visuella tecken. Utifrån de språkliga resurser som framkommer i dekonstruktionen av avsnittens språkanvändning delas studiens material in i fyra diskursiva teman. Temana existerar i en vardaglig och familjär kontext utifrån tv-studiornas utformning och programledarnas journalistiska approach. Det första och mest grundläggande temat är att alkoholhaltiga drycker konstrueras som det normativa. Avsnittens tittare konstrueras som konsumenter, och då främst som alkoholkonsumenter. Vidare konstrueras dryckestipsen i programmen som folkbildning som tittarna måste ta del av. Det avslutande temat tar upp hur alkohol konstrueras som ett exklusivt fenomen.
The focus of this study is media’s images of alcohol and how language is used to portray them in Swedish breakfast television. Items on beverages are studied in two episodes of Gomorron Sverige and two episodes of Nyhetsmorgon. The purpose of the study is to investigate the constructions of alcohol as a phenomenon in these programs as well as to increase the understanding of the phenomenon and accumulate to the theorizing on the media’s images of alcohol. To be able to examine these constructions the study uses multimodal critical discourse analysis (MCDA) as a theory as well as a method. The theoretical framework of the study will also be based on the setting within, and the journalistic approach of, the genre of breakfast television as well as a theory on media as a legitimating actor. The procedure of the study is based on multiple concepts of analysis gathered from MCDA which enable a qualitative critical study of the language used within the programs. MCDA regards language as spoken and written language as well as visual signs. Through the linguistic resources, exposed by the deconstruction of the language used in the programs, it is possible to distinguish four thematic discourses within the material of the study. The thematic discourses exist within a familiar context based on the styling of the studios and the journalistic approach of the hosts. The first and most essential thematic discourse is the fact that alcohol is constructed as a norm. Secondly, the viewers are constructed as consumers of alcohol. Furthermore the beverage recommendations are constructed as mass education, mandatory for the viewers to take part of. The final thematic discourse regards alcohol as an exclusive phenomenon.

Tese de doutoramento em Letras (História Moderna e Contemporânea) apresentada à Fac. de Letras da Univ. de Coimbra
Em 1820 teve início em Portugal uma revolução legal e administrativa que foi ditada pela implantação do liberalismo, através sobretudo das suas novas práticas políticas parlamentares e constitucionais e, fundamentalmente, pelo exercício efectivo da cidadania. O objectivo do presente trabalho foi o de contribuir para o estudo do complexo movimento da implantação do liberalismo e do constitucionalismo em Portugal através de um novo ângulo: A definição da cultura política vintista. Inegavelmente foi essa cultura política que definiu melhor a nossa identidade nacional ao permitir a emergência de uma nova consciência de cidadania. Iniciamos assim uma reflexão sobre o impacto das Luzes e da Revolução em Portugal e o seu acasalamento com uma linha de acção reformista o que deu origem a um movimento que, sendo simultaneamente revolucionário e regenerador, permitiu a emergência de uma nova cultura política — a liberal. Em seguida, analisamos a cultura política vintista através dos seus conceitos e práticas, textos e discursos e imagens e símbolos. Por fim, anexámos vários quadros porque os consideramos um importante material de suporte a esta investigação. Com o nosso estudo procuramos mostrar como o liberalismo vintista foi uma ruptura com o passado. Invocaram-se desde então, princípios políticos novos, originalmente transmitidos em fórmulas características de uma cultura política, pela primeira vez em Portugal, assente na liberdade. E a partir de 1820, a nova dimensão da liberdade iniciou-se justamente pela aprendizagem do ser cidadão.

A Revolução Liberal de 1820, sendo um dos momentos-chave que colocaram Portugal no caminho da contemporaneidade, consegue, ainda hoje, surpreender pelas complexas ramificações e variações que operou nos primeiros anos do liberalismo institucionalizado no país. Os liberais que conduziram a revolução ambicionavam seguir o exemplo dos seus companheiros ideológicos espanhóis, que haviam abolido o absolutismo em 1812 e instituído um governo representativo assente na Constituição de Cádis, publicada no mesmo ano. Um dos requisitos indispensáveis do regime representativo seria a convocação de eleições no reino, de modo a estabelecer um grupo parlamentar que legislasse e atuasse em nome do bem da nação. Sendo verdade que a primeira experiência liberal em Portugal foi curta, com uma duração de três anos, não deixou de experienciar dois importantes momentos eleitorais. O primeiro ocorreu logo em dezembro de 1820, quatro meses volvidos da insurreição no Campo de Santo Ovídio. O segundo momento teve início em agosto de 1822, prolongando-se até 6 de outubro, data em que se nomearam os deputados em segundo escrutínio. Para o estudo historiográfico deste tema, as fontes disponibilizadas no Arquivo Histórico do Parlamento, situado no Palácio de S. Bento em Lisboa, são do maior interesse. As últimas décadas têm-se mostrado produtivas na observação científica do liberalismo português. O seu estudo é fundamental para compreender a entrada de Portugal no período da contemporaneidade. É fundamental para entendermos o efeito-dominó da queda do absolutismo e o impacto dos ideais herdeiros do iluminismo. Para nós, estudar um processo eleitoral como este é decisivo para compreender o fator político dos novos ventos ideológicos, e para descortinar o pensamento dos representantes da nação portuguesa nos temas e decisões que haviam de orientar o Estado liberal.
The Portuguese Liberal Revolution of 1820, being a key moment in leading Portugal to contemporaneity, remains, to this day, a curious event, due to the complex ramifications and variations it resulted in, in the first years of the country’s institutionalized liberalism. The Liberals which led the revolution aspired to follow the example of their fellow Spanish partisans, who had abolished absolutism in 1812 and established a representative government based on the Constitution of Cádiz, published in that same year. One of the essential requirements of this representative regime would be the call for elections in the kingdom to define a parliamentary group whose aim was to legislate and act to ensure the nation’s welfare. While true that Portugal’s first liberal experience was short-lived, lasting only three years, it led to two important electoral moments. The first one happened in December of 1820, four months after the uprising in Campo de Santo Ovídio. The second started in August of 1822, and continued until the 6th of October, when parliament members were appointed, on a second ballot. The sources available at the Portuguese Parliament’s Historical Archives, in Palácio de S. Bento, in Lisbon, are extremely useful to carry out an historiographic research on this subject. The last few decades haven proven productive in terms of scientific research on the Portuguese liberalism. Its study is crucial to understand the domino effect of the fall of absolutism and the impact of the ideals inherited from Enlightenment. For us, studying an electoral process like this one is crucial to understand the political factor of the new ideological currents, and to continue to uncover Portugal’s representatives’ way of thinking about the subjects and decisions that would govern the liberal State.

In 2013, Mangosing created VINTA, a small run of designs that are custom fit for consumers, produced by a single master sewer in Manila, and then shipped back to Toronto for distribution. This chapter reads VINTA amid the easy consumption of global Asian and Filipino labor (from fast fashion to the predominance of Filipina/o caregivers in Canada). VINTA works against these patterns by first emphasizing an individualized experience (a custom-made dress) and second, by attempting to work against a system that relies upon low-paid and “deprofessionalized” Filipino laborers. But VINTA is also only made possible because Mangosing outsources the work to the Philippines. She thus sees VINTA as a combination of a capitalist and feminist enterprise, the results of which are an uneasy negotiation of labor and the diaspora, a feminist project that calls attention to the untidy seams of relations between women in the global North and South.
