Abstract:

Première partie: Styron insiste sur l'angoisse de l'homme dans un monde dont la "réalité" lui échappe. D'où une double caractéristique: le narcissisme (défense du moi) et des symptômes schizoïdes, moyen de combattre le sentiment dominant de l'absence, cette absence qui génère la culpabilité. L'autre est menace et ou mystère qu'on s'efforce de nier ou de réifier à défaut de se l'approprier intérieurement (rêves par exemple). Seconde partie: elle insiste sur la menace que l'autre représente pour le moi. D'où des rapports violents. Le moi recherche l'admiration ou s'efforce de dominer par toutes sortes de moyens. La révolte devient la dernière étape dans cette affirmation du moi mais elle échoue parce que les héros de Styron portent en eux ce qu'ils veulent détruire. La critique sociale n'est qu'accessoire. Troisième partie: elle étudie les stratégies mises en œuvre par Styron pour satisfaire une ambition (excessive) d'être un écrivain reconnu. Contradictoirement, Styron tente de sonder l'invisible tout en accusant les surfaces. Il affirme (sans toujours convaincre) sa culture et se montre soucieux (même à l'excès) de son style. Inversement, recours au sensationnel (thèmes, utilisation croissante de la violence et du sexe, structures). De ce fait, il règne dans l'œuvre une confusion entre fiction et "réalité". L'autobiographie accroit cette confusion mais l'auteur ne peut y échapper pour cause de fixations infantiles. La fiction de Styron se trouve affaiblie pour toutes ces raisons et à cause d'un aspect trop didactique qui trahit sa foi en la valeur didactique de la littérature et surtout au pouvoir du langage
First part: Styron’s insistence on man's anxiety in a world the "reality" of which escapes him. Such an experience entails a double characteristic: narcissism (defence of the self) and schizoid symptoms (means of fighting back the prevailing feeling of absence). Absence as such generates guilt. The other is felt as a threat and or a mystery and Styron’s heroes tend to deny or to reify others (through dreams for example) when they cannot see others as a part of themselves. Second part: it emphasizes the threat that the other represents for the self. It leads to the violent relations between heroes. The self aims at being admired or at dominating others. The self tries to assert himself using all possible means. Rebellion appears to be the last stage in this self-assertion but is bound to fail because the characters have in themselves what they want to destroy. Social criticism is quite irrelevant in Styron’s work. Third part: it focusses on Styron’s strategies to fulfil; his (inordinate) ambition to become a successful writer. Contradictorily, he tries both to fathom the invisible and to stress the visible. He asserts (not always convincingly) his culture and is a careful (but overwriting) stylist. Conversely, he has recourse to the sensational (themes, increasing use of violence and sex, structures). Because of that, his work offers a confused blending of fiction and "reality". The use of autobiography increases this confusion but Styron cannot avoid it because of infantile fixations. Styron's fiction is weakened for all this and for a didactic vein which betrays his faith in the didactic value of literature and in the power of language

A Fine and Growing Art is an annotated edition of letters and other documents chronicling the intertwining relationships and careers of Norman Mailer, James Jones, and William Styron, three prominent figures in American literature of the past century. I have endeavored to collect every surviving letter exchanged between the principals; I also include letters of other interlocutors, and published writings in which the principals discuss one another (or are discussed by others), insofar as these collateral documents touch informatively upon the principals' relationships with one another. A Fine and Growing Art is an elaborated three-way conversation, bringing forward expressions of opinion and feeling both public (in the sense of published, and often prominently so) and candid (in the reserved company of friends, or even in the near-secrecy of an unsent draft). Often funny, occasionally outrageous, consistently engaging, A Fine and Growing Art begins to unravel the mysteries long surrounding these three literary titans-about their friendships particularly, their feuds also, their evolving art, and how it all came to pass.

Abstract:

In Derek Attridge's J.M. Coetzee and the Ethics of Reading (2004), the novel is referred to as "an ethically charged event, one that befalls individual readers and, at the same time, the culture within which, and through which, they read" (xii). The ethical positions of individuals, communities and cultures are addressed through one of the most explosive issues in imaginative fiction: "the right to speak." What happens when a novelist not only encroaches on the values of an ethnic group or religion but also speaks on their behalf, as if from within that community or belief? This question has become especially charged with the emergence since the 1960s of "cultural politics": the identification of a political viewpoint within each discrete community in a multicultural society, and the resolute claim by each community to represent its history and values in its own terms. I consider this question by way of the responses to two novels: William Styron's The Confessions of Nat Turner (1967) and Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses (1988). Both of these novels were highly controversial when they were released, inciting anger among minority groups because they transgressed the limits of representation. Styron's novel challenged the right to speak because, as a White man, he attempted to portray the consciousness of a Black slave. The African-American community, during a time of upheaval, radicalism and assertion of their power, responded with vitriol, arguing that Styron's novel was a racist, stereotypical, appropriation of Black history. The allegedly blasphemous portrayal of Islam in Rushdie's Satanic Verses created even greater controversy throughout the Islamic world and British Muslim community - their anger amplified by a feeling of betrayal by one of their own. These novels illustrate the ethical dilemmas of the representations of minority groups and make urgent the question of whom has the right to speak for them in literature. Increasingly the tensions between individualistic White liberal ideology and communitarian sensitivities about the representation of their cultures, religions, histories and identities are being contested through the site of the novel. Satanic Verses and Nat Turner demonstrate the challenges faced by multicultural societies when liberals and communitarians force themselves into a manufactured binary through which no effective debate can take place. While the novelist's right to speak should be defended precisely because of the ethical dilemmas that can be presented by literature, freedom of speech is never absolute. The "ethical event" of the novel requires a more nuanced response, which recognises both the valuable and the potentially destructive nature of literature.

Abstract:

This introductory chapter considers what called William Styron's fictive realities into being, and how they were crafted. Styron had written The Confessions of Nat Turner (1967), which represented itself as the autobiographical narrative of the African American slave-turned-rebel leader, Nat Turner. The chapter asks what made his work a “meditation on history”—and why it failed. It also takes a look at whether it might be possible to redeem Nat Turner from endless deferral—the effect of multiple attempts to “understand” him as a figment of text without listening to (or for) him as a person. African American popular culture has tried, with some success, to retrieve Nat Turner, to recognize and assimilate him to itself, without deferral. However, this chapter considers whether or not he will ever be able to achieve a historical presence of his own that is other than past, and how.

Abstract:

Chapter 6 provides an examination of findings related to the frequency of loss in the lives of artists, and how artists are motivated to shape loss and inner pain into creative products. Loss has been noted in the lives of artists for decades. It comes in the form of death; it comes in other ways, too. The chapter explores questions about the loss–art connection. What is it about loss that mobilizes creativity? What’s the nature of the correlation? Does loss propel art? The author outlines the role of trauma in creativity, with artist examples including Jorge Luis Borges, William Styron, Jack Kerouac, Truman Capote, and Patricia Highsmith.

Full text

Abstract:

The competing effects of physical aging and moisture absorption on the relaxation behaviour of a polycarbonate/acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS) polymer blend have been investigated. Physical aging was simulated by thermal aging the blend at temperatures up to 80 °C which is below the glass transition temperature of ABS, i.e., the lower of the two components. Another set of samples was exposed to six different relative humidity and temperature combinations. Progressively aged samples in dry and hygrothermal aging conditions were then subjected to stress relaxation tests. Momentary master curves were developed by applying time/aging-time and time/moisture superposition principles for dry and hygrothermally aged specimens, respectively. The experimental data were also fitted with the Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts (KWW) model to determine the initial modulus, relaxation time constant and shape parameter. Comparisons of the first two parameters between thermally aged and hygrothermally aged conditions suggest that physical aging processes dominate absorbed moisture effects in terms of influencing viscoleastic behaviour, especially when the aging temperature approaches 80 °C.

Abstract:

Abstract Polymeric materials are composed of chains of molecules known as monomers which are held together by secondary bonds. Amorphous polymers have a glass transition temperature above which their behavior transitions from glassy to viscoelastic, meaning they act like both a viscous liquid and an elastic solid. This concept may seem familiar to anyone who has used Silly Putty®; bouncing a ball of Silly Putty causes the material to behave elastically whereas it will flow into a puddle if left on a table overnight. Time temperature superposition (TTS) describes the dependence of viscoelastic mechanical properties on time and temperature. Repeating the Silly Putty experiment at a different temperature will change how long it takes to reach the same end mechanical property. The Williams-Landel-Ferry (WLF) equation empirically defines the relationship between a temperature shift and a shift in the timescale for a specific material property. It has been widely used for materials undergoing low rates of strain (e.g. creep, stress relaxation), but it applies to any property of viscoelastic behavior. This paper examines modeling the temperature-dependent impact behavior of polymers based on the WLF equation. Although polymers experience viscoelastic behavior for an incredibly short time prior to fracture, the strong temperature dependence and past literature suggest the validity of the WLF equation to higher rates of strain as demonstrated herein for the energy absorption of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) undergoing high-velocity multiaxial impact tests.

Full text

Abstract:

An elastase-induced saccular aneurysm in the rabbit right common carotid artery was developed as a model of human cerebrovascular aneurysm, and used for testing various endovascular devices and therapies. The carotid artery of the rabbit approximates the size of the human middle cerebral artery. Therefore, the created aneurysm is similar to those found in humans around the main branches of the circle of Willis. To minimize the use of animals and gain more insight into the hemodynamics of this model, in addition to the ability to perform early testing of endovascular devices in vitro, we have developed a rapid prototyping technique to produce compliant elastomer replicas of such aneurysms. In this implementation, the geometry of the constructed aneurysm is a representative average. The rapid prototyping system reliably reproduces as many copies of the lumen of the arterial bed out of Polyacrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS). The ABS output of the prototyping system can be used as a core that is dipped a silicone elastomer and then spin coated until cured. Thereafter, the core is melted away to yield the elastomer replica of the arterial bed. This replica was included in a mock circulation loop for detailed hemodynamic investigation using particle image velocimetry (PIV).
