No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoAnálise da função do grotesco no estabelecimento da atmosfera em Reflections in a Golden Eye e The Ballad of the Sad Café, de Carson McCullers, a partir do conceito de grotesco Romântico, de Mikhail Bakhtin. A análise mostra que a falta do poder regenerativo que é característico do grotesco Romântico está presente nas duas obras estudadas, proporcionando-lhes uma atmosfera sombria
A theoretical study of population II Cepheids with periods in the range 10-20 days
No full textA theoretical study of population II variables with
periods in the range 10 - 20 days (W Virginis variables) is
presented. A modified hydrodynamic Christy code is used in
conjunction with the Carson opacities, in preference to the Los
Alamos tables, following the work of Carson, Stothers and
Vemury on the shorter period BL Herculis variables.
Twenty-five survey models are presented, along with nine other
comparison models of varying masses and opacities.
A study of the observations shows that the division of
these variables into two types by observers might be explained
by a slightly different mass for each type, thus making the
division dependent on the star's previous evolution.
The non-linear results obtained by this study show that a
mass of 0.6 M☉ is a good one to use, and that M = 0.5 M☉ makes
little difference (although M = 0.8 M☉ seems to be too high).
The results in general compare well with the observations, as
both also show the split into two types of light curve. Three good models of individual stars are presented, on a par with the models of BL Herculis published by Carson, Stothers and
Vemury. The bumps in the light and velocity curves of many of
the models seem to be real, caused by the Christy "echo".
A few of the models show some RV Tauri behaviour. One in
particular shows very strange behaviour, involving a violent
81ternation of light curve shapes. Models constructed using
the Los Alamos opacities do not produce results as consistent
with observations as those of the main survey.
The study shows that these stars can be represented by
hydrodynamic models of mass 0.6 M☉ using the Carson opacities, but also that convection may be important in the cooler stars in order to model them accurately. This indicates the
direction in which further theoretical work may lie

Translations of the Self: A.E. Housman and Anne Carson, Between Scholarship and Creativity
No full textIn my PhD thesis I have explored some aspects of the interface between classical scholarship and creativity, through the work and careers of two scholar-poets, Anne Carson (1950 - ) and A.E. Housman (1859-1936). I have shown how, within their social and cultural contexts, they attempted to craft their careers by using both genres of their work to help them construct carefully-crafted public profiles, and how these self-translations within their careers relate to received versions of their work by different readerships. By connecting explorations of their social and cultural contexts with their biographies and with close readings of their scholarly and creative work, I explore the shifting relationship between creative and scholarly ‘cultural fields’, as well as the recent social, cultural, and institutional changes which have turned these fields from ‘homogeneous poles’ to ‘heterogeneous poles’ (to use Pierre Bourdieu’s terms). I examine the surprising similarities in the unusual personalities of Carson and Housman, who both have, or had, a tendency to use their reputations for independence and reclusiveness to help them navigate around important issues and conflicts which could have threatened their success. I show how they have constructed versions of themselves, both within and beyond their writings, which have enabled them to make grand assertions of the self in the teeth of social and cultural necessities
Dr. William Carson : his life, letters and speeches
No full textWilliam Carson, an important figure in Newfoundland history, was a doctor, businessman, and politician. As a doctor in St. John's, Carson aided in the quarantine of a cholera outbreak; as a businessman, he was very involved in farming, and became known as he "father of agriculture"; as a politician, he was the "greatest Newfoundland reformer" and "father of constitutional government" ("William Carson" The Encyclopedia of Newfoundland and Labrador, vol. 1. 1981. p. 362). This biography by Joseph R. Smallwood focuses mainly on Carson's political career, which began when Carson saw the quality of life in Newfoundland, decided that the people deserved better, and began his efforts for responsible government as leader of the reform movement. Included are speeches by Carson and correspondence between Carson and many of his colleagues throughout his political career. -- This is a corrected, annotated version of a typescript document, with the annotations by Joseph R.

Martha Bray Carson Papers - Accession 995
No full textThe Martha Bray Carson Papers document the literary work, civic involvement, and historical interests of Martha Bray Carson (1876–1953), a South Carolina writer, historian, and prominent member of hereditary and women’s civic organizations. A native of Fairfield County who spent most of her life in Chester County, Carson was deeply engaged in historical commemoration and preservation, particularly through her leadership roles in the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC), the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), and the Up-To-Date Club. She served as president of the South Carolina Division of the UDC and held additional offices at the local level. In 1950, she authored the salute to the South Carolina State Flag later adopted by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1966.
The collection consists primarily of Carson’s original manuscripts, published essays, correspondence, organizational records, scrapbooks, and topical research files. Her writings—dating largely from the 1920s through the 1940s—include essays on South Carolina history, Confederate history, states’ rights, notable Southern figures, churches, battle sites, and cultural heritage. Many were published in regional newspapers and magazines, sometimes under the name Mrs. J. R. Carson. Also included are bound compilations of her biographical sketches and historical papers, reflecting her sustained interest in documenting Southern and Confederate history.
Organizational materials document Carson’s extensive involvement with the UDC and DAR and include yearbooks, correspondence, invitations, programs, photographs, certificates, and printed publications. Records also reflect her participation in civic commemorations, memorial dedications, and historical preservation efforts throughout South Carolina and beyond.
Family papers include correspondence, certificates, catechism materials, commencement programs, photographs, and clippings relating to Carson’s children and extended family. Additional materials document her participation in local theatrical productions during the 1920s.
A substantial portion of the collection consists of subject files and scrapbooks containing original and reprinted news clippings, photographs, pamphlets, and printed ephemera. Topics include Confederate reunions, secession, Civil War battles and leaders, South Carolina political and social history, Abraham Lincoln, Woodrow Wilson, Charles Dickens, and broader United States history. Three scrapbooks—two focused extensively on Confederate history and UDC activities—assemble clippings, images, postcards, reproduced Confederate currency and stamps, programs, and commemorative materials, illustrating Carson’s efforts to construct and preserve a narrative of Southern heritage.
Together, the Martha Bray Carson Papers provide insight into early- to mid-twentieth-century historical memory, women’s civic leadership, Confederate commemoration, and regional identity in South Carolina.https://digitalcommons.winthrop.edu/manuscriptcollection_findingaids/1940/thumbnail.jp
A theoretical study of the R. Coronae Borealis group of variable stars
No full textA theoretical study of the R Coronae Borealis group of variables is
presented. A modified Christy code is used for the non-linear
calculations and Dr Worrell's codes are used for the linear
calculations. These codes are used in conjunction with both Carson
and Los Alamos opacity tables, following the work of Saio on the
linear analysis of Hydrogen deficient Carbon stars. 630 linear models
are presented in 3 surveys along with 10 non-linear models of RCB
stars and 20 incidental models used for comparison purposes.
A study of the observations, given in the literature showed that
the masses and luminosities of these stars are poorly defined. A
linear analysis of 7 of these stars, in conjunction with observations
given in literature, has allowed luminosity limitations to be placed
on seven of these stars, and for the two stars which also have
spectroscopic data a rough mass was calculable. The spectroscopic
mass and luminosity limits of R CrB are (0.96 +1- 0.07)M☉ and
(9,500 - 16,500)L☉
and for BY Sgr are (0.95 +1- 0.06)M☉
and
(9,000 - 13,000)L☉. A non-linear model of RY Sgr using the best mass
and luminosity produced a light curve that agreed well with the
overall characteristics of the observations, i.e., period, amplitude
m
and semi-regularity. Another of the non-linear models showed a 7ᵐ
drop in its luminosity curve, which lasted for about twenty days.
This is greatly short of the months to years seen in the observations,
but could be suggestive of the initiation of the 'deep minimum'
phenomenon. It was followed by the rapid outward movement of all the
outer zones, which could indicate a method of ejecting carbon grains.
Further research needs to be done before any conclusions can be drawn.
The non-linear analysis of the 5,000K and 6,000K models may
indicate that the effective temperatures given in the literature for
these stars are too low, as a value nearer 7,000K seems to give better
results. From this analysis, it seems that the majority of the ReB
group of stars have masses in the range (0.8 - 1.2)M☉, which is
consistent with the evolutionary analysis of Weiss
