The Poetics of Textual Thresholds in Ahcene El-Kharrat’s Collections of Poetry
Get PDFAbstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the poetics of textual thresholds in the poetry of Ahcene El-Kharrat (1989-2019), to query their various dimensions, connotations and artistic features, based on the assumption that contemporary poetic text is no longer just a set of poems nicely written and collected in a book, but rather a mosaic of written texts, para (meta) texts, and thresholds related to their hypertext. The thresholds’ role is vital. Its importance cannot be ignored while formulating the general poetic context of the poem. The latter cannot reach completeness without its textual thresholds that opens up new poetic and artistic perspectives. We will shed light, in this analytical and intertextual research, on the thresholds of the poems in the collections of the Algerian poet Ahcene El-Kharrat entitled: Nabdh-al-faji’a (Pulse of Bereavement), Basar Al-Turab (Sight of the earth) and Shatah Al-darawishes (the Dervishes’ imagination).

Multi-Objective Design of An Induction Motor Using A New Method For Finding The Optimal Solution By The Pareto Front Based On Harmony Search
Get PDFOn-line Faults Signature Monitoring Tool for Induction Motor Diagnosis
No full textInternational audienceThe monitoring and the diagnosis of the faults in induction motors starting from the stator current are very interesting, since it is an accessible and measurable quantity. The spectral analysis of the stator current makes it possible to highlight the characteristic frequencies of the faults but in a wide frequency range depending on half the sampling frequency, making it very difficult to monitor on-line the faults. In order to facilitate the use of the relevant frequencies of machine faults we proposed the extraction of the frequency components using two methods, namely, the amplitude and the instantaneous frequency. The theoretical bases of these methods were presented and the results were validated on a test bench with an induction motor of 5.5 kw

Ma'alim al-tajdidd fi usul al-tashri' al-Islami: dirasah tahliliyyah naqdiyyah li-uthruhat al-Shatibi al-usuliyyah
No full textThis book provides an economic analysis of the earliest Islamic society, focusing on the policies of the Messenger of Islam (Sawa) and his successors during the first four formative decades of Islam. The author uses historical economic data, facts, and evidences that are reported from the period, both prior to and after establishment of the Islamic State, to explore the economic relations, policies, and models that were in practice and applied at that time
Back propagation neural network for classification of induction machine faults
No full textInternational audienceThis paper presents a new method for the classification of induction machine faults. The method is composed of two steps: feature extraction and classification. Feature extraction is based on the time-frequency representation (TFR), which is deliberately designed for maximizing the separability between classes. A distinct TFR is designed for each class. The classifier is designed with an artificial neural network. The flexibility of this method allows an accurate classification independent from the level of load. This method is validated on a 5.5-kW induction motor test bench
Shakespeare and Defoe in Modern and Post-modern African/Caribbean Literature
No full text305 f. ; 30 cm. + CD RomThe present research has sought to study William Shakespeare's TheTempest (1611) in relation to Ngûgî WaThion'o's A Grain of Wheat (1967), Aimé Césaire's A Tempest (1969) and Jamaica Kincaid's Annie John (1985); it has also targeted to explore the connection which binds Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719) to Nadine Gordimer's "Friday's Footprint" (1960), Derek Walcott's Pantomime(1978) and J. M. Coetzee's Foe (1986). This research, in terms of the oretical bearings, has been pillared on a paradigm constituted around Mikhail Bakhtin's historicist intertextual dialogism, Gérard Genette's notions and Raymond Williams' ideological and cultural materialist continuum. While conducting this study, I have reached a wide range of findings. First, each one of the six African/Caribbean adaptations, under scrutiny, has leaned on its source text, Shakespeare's or Defoe's, reproducing and stylizing, there fore, seen as stylization of, several elements from their 'originals'; however, it has to be highlighted, following this thread of arguments,that they have been far from being carbon copies. This would pertain to my second major finding, which is the fact that every single author has made use of his/her source of inspiration to suit his/her own purposes; the final outcome has been six texts which have, at times,parodied or engaged in a polemic, hidden or overt, with the English bard's last play or Defoe's novel; in accordance with my third finding, some adaptations have, at other times, treated the source work meta textually by either commenting on and criticising it, or deleting, reducing, amplifying and revising a variety of its aspects. The fourth finding might be associated with Williams' ideological and cultural spectrum which has uncovered, to me, the crucial importance of the background of every African/Caribbean literary attempt this study has dealt with. This has resulted in six texts which have had to explore and voice a great deal about the concerns, issues, certainties, uncertainties, perceptions and realities of their precise historical moment of production than Shakespeare's or Defoe's era and lifetime. This research has been divided into seven chapters; the first one has been devoted to the alleged source texts which have been contextualised and examined in their exact environment. The six following chapters have been organised into two parts, three chapters each, with every one of them being concerned with studying one African/Caribbean adaptation with its source at a time
The berber of theater of Kabyle expression (of Mohia) in the ethno dramatic progress of the rites, syncretism and social revolts
No full textLa problématique centrale de ma thèse consiste en l’étude anthropologique du théâtre berbère d’expression kabyle à travers les « adaptations » de Mohia. Elle consacre les conditions explicites qui ont permis l’émergence de l’œuvre de l’auteur et ce qui la caractérise : interculturalité, oralité, contemporanéité. Soulignant le fait émancipateur et réformateur du théâtre de Mohia à l’égard des genres traditionnels, notre démarche évolue vers une analyse des faits anthropologique, sociologique et ethnographique du spectacle-rituel. Elle propose une méthode scientifique interdisciplinaire des phénomènes syncrétiques. Dans un premier temps, elle étudie le rituel kabyle dans ses formes syncrétiques, et restitue les fragments originels qui motivent la dimension « laïque » du spectacle théâtral moderne. Dans un deuxième temps, elle reconstitue par le fait des révoltes des populations autochtones, seul fait visible de l’histoire sociale kabyle (souvent en opposition entre les écrits des chefs militaires étrangers et la mémoire collective), des scènes ethno-dramatiques. Le principe est de pouvoir regarder dans l’ethno-scène une logique dans l’évolution de l’histoire sociale kabyle. Les caractéristiques qui découlent de l’ethnoscène renoue avec l’œuvre de Mohia, analyse son rapport à la sociologie kabyle, à son ancrage culturel, à sa présence dans l’assemblée théâtrale kabyle et son apport dans la réforme de la« convenance kabyle » à travers les acteurs dits « passeurs de parole ».Tout le processus de cette recherche est subordonné à des discussions, avec des anthropologues de terrain, auxquelles ma contribution concourt d’une participation effective à la vie sociale, militante et artistique du monde kabyle.The central problems of my thesis consist of the anthropological study of the Berber theatre of Kabylian expression through the “adaptations” of Mohia. It devotes the explicit conditions which allowed the emergence of the work of the author and what characterizes it : interculturality, orality, contemporaneity. Underlining the emancipatory and reforming fact theatre of Mohia with regard to the traditional kinds, our approach evolves to an analysis of the facts anthropological, sociological and ethnographic of theritual one. She proposes an interdisciplinary scientific method of the syncretic phenomena. Initially, she studies the Kabylian ritual in her syncretic forms, and restores the original fragments which justify the “laic” dimension of the modern theatrical show. In the second time, it reconstitutes by the fact of the revolts of the populations autochtones, only visible fact of the Kabylian social history (often in opposition between the writings of the foreign military chiefs and the collective memory), of the ethno-dramatic scenes. The principle is to be able to look in the ethno-scene a logic in the evolution of the Kabylian social history. The characteristics which rise from the ethno scene joins again with the work of Mohia, analyzes his report with Kabylian sociology, its cultural anchoring, its presence in the Kabylian theatrical assembly and her contribution in the reform of “Kabylian suitability” through the actors known as “frontier runners of word”. All the process of this research is subordinated to discussions, with anthropologists of ground, to which my contribution contributes of one effective participation to the social life, militant and artistic of the Kabylian world
