Repetition: A Process of Destroying the Narrative Unity in Abdelkader Djemais Saison De Pierres
No full textIn Saison de pierres Abdelkader Djemai makes the repetition process one of his principles of composition narrative sequences are repeated repeating themselves thus openly provoking the traditional novel The reader at first glance thinks he is reading the same text but after concentration there are many variations between the two narrative passages By using the repetition process Abdelkader Djemai wants to introduce a new reflex in the reader to test his memory by using his insight and intelligence Repetition allows the author to say and repeat in several copies the same idea the same event the same experience offering a multitude of perspectives and invoking maximum concentratio
The Image of the Ego through the Narration of History in Henry Churchill's Biography of Emir Abdelkader
No full textAbstract: This study aims to highlight the image of Emir Abdelkader in the writings of others, through the book “The Life of the Prince” by Henry Churchill, in which the author explores the details of the life of Emir Abdelkader, and recounts different details of his struggle during the resistance against French colonialism, after his surrender and moving to his voluntary exile, where he stayed there for the end of his life.In addition to providing an overview of the difference in the form of the portrayal of Emir Abdelkader between what is contained in this book and some French colonialist writings. We found that the author presented a more objective picture of the Emir's personality, closer to the reality of objective historical details, and away from the fanaticism of French writers governed by their colonialist inclination. Therefore, this work poses a fundamental question: How was Emir Abdelkader portrayed through his biography in the book The Prince's Life by Henry Churchill? What was the image of Algerians in the shadow of the Emir's life and biographical details during and after the resistance against French colonialism?

Comportement des murs en terre armée modélisation physique, analytique et numérique des renforcements extensibles
No full textLes structures en Terre Armée sont renforcées soit par des armatures métalliques soit par des armatures synthétiques non corrodables. Actuellement, les mêmes lois sont le plus souvent utilisées pour la modélisation des armatures synthétiques qui présentent pourtant un comportement plus complexe en raison de leur extensibilité. Il semble nécessaire d\u27étudier le comportement de ces armatures dans le sol afin de déterminer de nouvelles lois d\u27ancrage plus adaptées. Ce travail de thèse concerne dans une première partie la modélisation physique tri-dimensionnelle du comportement des armatures de renforcement en ancrage. Des essais d\u27extraction ont été réalisés dans une chambre d\u27étalonnage en conditions contrôlées et instrumentées en laboratoire puis confirmés et valider par d\u27autres essais effectués dans un ouvrage réel. Dans une deuxième partie de cette thèse, trois méthodes analytiques sont mises en oeuvre pour la modélisation des essais d\u27extraction. La première méthode, reprend les lois d\u27ancrages classiques. La seconde et la troisième méthode présentent des lois d\u27ancrages issues de l\u27analyse des essais expérimentaux. Enfin dans la dernière partie de la thèse, les paramètres déduits à partir de l\u27étude expérimentale ont été implémentés dans le code de calcul numérique Flac 2D pour l\u27étude de la stabilité, la sécurité ainsi que l\u27influence de plusieurs paramètres sur le comportement des ouvrages en Terre Armée

In current design, same models are used to model these two types of strips. Nevertheless, synthetic reinforcements have a more complex behavior due to their extensibility. Then, it seems necessary to study the behavior of these reinforcements to determine adequate anchorage models. This thesis concerns in the first part a three-dimensional physical modeling of the behavior of anchored reinforcements. Pullout tests were performed in a test tank under controlled conditions in the laboratory. These tests were validated by other tests carried out in a real structure. In a second part, three analytical methods were implemented to model the pullout tests. The first method uses the classical anchorage models. The second and the third method present models determined from the analysis of experimental tests. Finally, in the last part, the parameters deduced from the experimental study were used in the numerical code Flac 2D to analysis the stability, the safety and the influence of several parameters of the Reinforced Earth structures.VILLEURBANNE-DOC'INSA LYON (692662301) / SudocSudocFranceF
Abdelkader Lagtaâ and his conceptual exercises in Poland, 1972-74
No full textThis article focuses on conceptual practices by Moroccan artist Abdelkader Lagtaâ, whose early 1970s work, created as a part of Polish conceptual milieus in Łódź and Warsaw, remains undocumented in art-historical scholarship. The author rediscovers Lagtaâ's practices as part of conceptual strategies in Eastern Europe and discusses his work in relation to Okwui Enwezor's article "Where, What, Who, When: A Few Notes on 'African' Conceptualism." The author argues that while Enwezor and, later, other scholars, including Olu Oguibe and Salah M. Hassan, critique the work by African conceptualists to and through conceptualist strategies prevalent in Africa and the West, Lagtaâ's work was almost entirely situated in the linguistic, performative, new media, and mail art experiments characteristic of Eastern Europe. While the work of conceptual artists from the African continent identified by Enwezor remained on the margins, outside of international and noninstitutional artistic circuits, Lagtaâ's work was an intrinsic part of the early 1970s collective experiments and transnational networks of artistic exchange between Eastern Europe and other geographical regions
De vertaler als (co-)auteur? De Italiaanse vertaling van Abdelkader Benali’s De Langverwachte
No full textThis contribution seeks to analyse the complex and fascinating translation process of Abdelkader Benali’s award-winning novel De Langverwachte (Vassallucci 2003) into Italian. Due to a combination of professional and personal circumstances, Benali gave the Italian translator Claudia Di Palermo the total freedom to edit the novel. For example, the Italian translation, La Lunga Attesa (Fazi 2005), underwent an editing process in which, among other things, the number of chapters was reduced from 58 to 47. In the analysis, the profiles of the author and the translator will first be outlined. Subsequently, the most important reasons for the editing process will be explained on the basis of an interview with the translator. Finally, the four translation strategies are explained by referring to Di Palermo’s personal notes. These are: separation, merging, deletion and addition
Analysing Author Self-citations in Computer Science Publications
No full textIn scientific papers, citations refer to relevant previous work in order to underline the current line of argumentation, compare to other work and/or avoid repetition in writing. Self-citations, e.g. authors citing own previous work might have the same motivation but have also gained negative attention w.r.t. unjustified improvement of scientific performance indicators. Previous studies on self-citations do not provide a detailed analysis in the domain of computer science. In this work, we analyse the prevalence of self-citations in the DBLP, a digital library for computer science. We find, that approx. 10% of all citations are self-citations, while the rates vary with year after publication and the position of the author in the list as well as with the gender of the lead author. Further, we find that C-ranked venues have the highest incoming self-citation rate, while the outgoing rate is stable across all ranks
Numerical analysis of the behaviour of mechanically stabilized earth walls reinforced with different types of strips
No full textAssociation des Oulemas : une tendance de l’islam politique algérien (Epoque d’entre les deux grandes guerres)
No full textThe article presents how Algerians’ national awareness was born. At that time, the country was still a French colony (a department belonging to a metropolis). The author mentions two important figures: Abdelkader ibn Muhieddine and Ben Badis, both of them are important when the process of rousing Algerians’ Islamic and national awareness is taken into consideration. Abdelkader and Badis were ulamas; Islamic intellectuals who tried to rouse Algerians by restoring importance of their language and culture. They did not want to rouse political awareness in people, but rather identity coming from moderate Islam. Moderate Islam was supposed to be the basis of resistance against “making the country more French” and at the same time depriving dignity. The author quotes fragments of Ben Badis’ reply directed to Ferhat Abbasa (who represented Members of Parliament compliant with France). The reply is of a great value when Algerians’ national liberation movement is taken into consideration.The article presents how Algerians’ national awareness was born.
