Citizenships and Identities. Inclusion, Exclusion, Participation
No full textA distinguished transnational, transgenerational and transdisciplinary group of researchers, working together in six research teams, shows how citizenship has developed, emphasizing continuities and breaking points, particularly but not only in European countries. It also addresses the question of 'identities' and the ways that this very ambiguous concept is used in different historical and historiographical contexts. This is the final volume produced by the CLIOHRES FP6 Network of Excellence designed and coordinated by Isaacs (2005-2010; 51 volumes all available on www.cliohres.net, 180 researchers; 31 countries; 4.500.000€ grant). It presents the final results of the Network's research. Central coordinator of the Network, Isaacs is editor of the volume, author of the Introduction and contributor to one of the collaborative chapters. The volume shows that 'citizenship' is understood in very different ways in different parts of Europe today. It examines how this situation has arisen, and how citizenship has been defined and analysed in different historical and historiographical contexts
The Life and Work of George Isaacs
No full textThis is the first comprehensive examination of the life, work and significance of the colonial writer George Isaacs, the “thorough Bohemian” who was the author of the first novel published in South Australia, The Queen of the South. Under the apt pseudonym of “A. Pendragon”, Isaacs captured the dynamic atmosphere of the colonial era in his writing, which ranged from plays to poetry and from journalism to prose. But he did not fit comfortably into colonial society. Set apart by an unconventional private life, his Jewish heritage, his fierce intelligence and his willingness to speak and write his mind, he led a surprisingly varied life across two hemispheres and two Australian colonies. Isaacs was largely forgotten after his death. This chronological biography redresses this neglect by establishing the details of his life and writing. An Appendix provides a bibliography of his published and unpublished works. Opening chapters examine Isaacs’ youth in England, with an emphasis on his first precocious publication, his enthusiasm for antiques, his influential connections, his travels and his immigration to South Australia. Following chapters discuss Isaacs’ productive years in Australia, where, despite poverty, imprisonment and chronic ill-health, he visited the Victorian goldfields, wrote plays that were performed around the world, and had great influence in Gawler. There, he was a founder of the Humbug Society, influential in the Gawler Institute and responsible for an Australian anthem. One of Isaacs’ plays, based on Frankenstein, was possibly the first published science fiction in Australia. This opinionated man left a significant imprint on his society and its literature. He did not become famous or wealthy, but his activities and his writing provide a useful counterpoint to the conventional interpretation of a successful life. As an inaugural study, The Life and Work of George Isaacs contributes another strand to our knowledge of Australian colonial literature and provides a foundation for further research. On a more intimate level, it is a paradigm of a colonial scribe—a case study of one immigrant’s struggles to live as a writer in the evolving society of colonial Australia.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Humanities, 201

Amy, Paulina y María. Una lectura de los dramas olvidados de Jorge Isaacs
No full textEste texto intenta demostrar que la ‘desaparición’ de las tres obras de teatro de Jorge Isaacs no se debió a un juicio apresurado o a la falta de iniciativa de su autor. El complejo camino que los manuscritos tomaron se debió más a las tendencias literarias de la época y a las dificultades sociales, políticas y económicas que vivió Isaacs. También, estudia la forma en la que el autor construye sus personajes femeninos, 'lodo esto con el fin de abrir una discusión sobre estas obras para que con el tiempo sean leídas, estudiadas, cotejadas entre sí y con María.This monograph tries to demónstrate that the disappearence of Jorge Isaacs’s dramas was not about prejudice or lack of iniiiative from its author. The manuscripts had a complex road given the literary tendencies of the time and political, económica!, and social diffículties that Isaacs lived. Also, this text studies the way the author constructs his female characters. A!1 of this in the search of a discussion about this dramas and the hope they will be readed, studied, and collated between them and with María
Importance Sampling for a Markov Modulated Queuing Network with Customer Impatience until the End of Service
No full textFor more than two decades, there has been a growing of interest in fast simulation techniques for estimating probabilities of rare events in queuing networks. Importance sampling is a variance reduction method for simulating rare events. The present paper carries out strict deadlines to the paper by Dupuis et al for a two node tandem network with feedback whose arrival and service rates are modulated by an exogenous finite state Markov process. We derive a closed form solution for the probability of missing deadlines. Then we have employed the results to an importance sampling technique to estimate the probability of total population overflow which is a rare event. We have also shown that the probability of this rare event may be affected by various deadline values.Importance Sampling, Queuing Network, Rare Event, Markov Process, Deadline
