CSP type II SN NIR and opt. light curves [Dataset]
No full textJ. P. Anderson et al. -- The data presented in this paper were acquired through the CSP over two distinct observational SN follow-up programmes. CSP-I (Hamuy et al. 2006PASP..118....2H) operated between 2004 and 2009 and obtained data for 74 SNe II.ype II supernovae (SNe II) mark the endpoint in the lives of hydrogen-rich massive stars. Their large explosion energies and luminosities allow us to measure distances, metallicities, and star formation rates into the distant Universe. To fully exploit their use in answering different astrophysical problems, high-quality low-redshift data sets are required. Such samples are vital to understand the physics of SNe II, but also to serve as calibrators for distinct - and often lower-quality - samples. We present uBgVri optical and YJH near-infrared (NIR) photometry for 94 low-redshift SNe II observed by the Carnegie Supernova Project (CSP). A total of 9817 optical and 1872 NIR photometric data points are released, leading to a sample of high-quality SN II light curves during the first 150 days post explosion on a well-calibrated photometric system. The sample is presented and its properties are analysed and discussed through comparison to literature events. We also focus on individual SNe II as examples of classically defined subtypes and outlier objects. Making a cut in the plateau decline rate of our sample (s2), a new subsample of fast-declining SNe II is presented. The sample has a median redshift of 0.015, with the nearest event at 0.001 and the most distant at 0.07. At optical wavelengths (V), the sample has a median cadence of 4.7 days over the course of a median coverage of 80 days. In the NIR (J), the median cadence is 7.2 days over the course of 59 days. The fast-declining subsample is more luminous than the full sample and shows shorter plateau phases. Of the nonstandard SNe II highlighted, SN 2009A particularly stands out with a steeply declining then rising light curve, together with what appears to be two superimposed P-Cygni profiles of H in its spectra. We outline the significant utility of these data, and finally provide an outlook of future SN II science.Peer reviewe

The new enfant du siècle: Joseph de Maistre as a writer
No full textThe essays contained within this volume were first presented at Reappraisals/Reconsidérations, the Fifth International Colloquium on Joseph de Maistre, held at Jesus College, Cambridge on 4 and 5 December 2008.Series editor-in-chief: Guy Rowlands, University of St AndrewsJoseph de Maistre's reputation as a writer is legendary. His style, unique and alive, moulded the French language anew. It sabotaged his attempts at anonymous publication and earned him, through the centuries, the praises of enemies and admirers. Yet the relationship between Maistre's thought and writing remains ill-known. This collection is the first to examine how Maistre's ideas – including his denunciation of the written word – intersected with his writing practices and personas. The essays disclose an author formed by duty and affectionate relationships, by the conventions of public combat, by an intense sense of history, and by the imperatives of Revolution.Introduction: assessing Maistre's style and rhetoric / Richard A. Lebrun -- Joseph de Maistre as pamphleteer / Richard A. Lebrun -- Joseph de Maistre, letter writer / Pierre Glaudes ; translated by Kevin Michael Erwin and Richard A.

The theme(s) of the Joseph story: a literary analysis
No full textSince the 1970s the application of narrative analysis to the Joseph Story has enriched
its reading. But those who apply this method to the narrative produce significantly different
results in terms of what its theme is. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the reasons for this
and to articulate as objectively as possible the theme of the Joseph Story.
Chapter One establishes the context of this investigation by evaluating the major
narrative readings of the Joseph Story. It reveals that those who apply narrative
methodologies to the story come to different conclusions about what its theme is. It notes that
the different results could be due to different narrative approaches, the literary context of the
narrative, and the complex nature of the text itself. We choose Humphreys, Longacre, and
Turner as our dialogue partners because they represent different narrative methods of reading
the Joseph Story. The reference terms `narrative criticism' and `theme' are then defined.
Chapter Two argues that the way to overcome the confusion concerning the theme (s)
of the Joseph Story is to use a methodology that addresses the limitations of the literary
approaches applied to the narrative and takes note of the wider literary context of Genesis and
the rich nature of the text. This chapter then proposes a narrative methodology of
`triangulation' that comprises plot analysis, text-linguistics and poetics.
Chapters three, four and five apply this methodology to the entire narrative in Genesis
37-50 via a detailed analysis of Genesis 37,44-45, and 49-50, the beginning, middle and end
of the narrative, respectively. The motifs that emerge from our analysis are family breakdown,
power, providence, blessing, and land. Chapter six concludes that each of these motifs is a key
concern of the Joseph Story but none by itself adequately articulates the story's theme. It is
the ecology of these motifs that enunciates the theme: God's providential work with and
through Jacob's dysfunctional family, preserving it and blessing others
