The article also questions the sublimation process as well as the identification author/narrator/characters
L'image de la femme et du couple dans trois œuvres de S.Y. Agnon : Agounot (Abandonnées/Suspendues), Sipour Pashout (Une simple histoire) Et Shira. Approche psychanalytique et influence freudienne.
No full textThrough psychoanalytical approach, the thesis examines the image of the woman and the couple in three works of S.Y. Agnon, recipient of the 1966 Nobel Prize for Literature, in which the couple and an object of desire occupy a central place : Agunot, a short story written in 1908 when the author is only 21 years old, Sipur Pashut a two hundred page novel written in 1935 and Shira a long novel that Agnon is unable to finish. Although some chapters appear in the press in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s, the novel itself was published posthumously by the author’s daughter according to her fathers will in 1971. After analyzing each story separately, the thesis evaluates by comparison the Freudian influence in the structure of each story, the behavior of the characters, the dynamic within the couple, their dreams as well as the void caused by the absence of the beloved person. This thesis also analyzes Agnon’s ambivalence towards psychoanalysis.La thèse se propose d’étudier, à l’aide d’une approche psychanalytique, trois œuvres de S.Y. Agnon, prix Nobel de littérature en 1966, dans lesquels le thème du trio amoureux, un couple et l’objet de désir ou d’amour extérieur à ce couple, occupe une place centrale : Agounot (Abandonnées), une histoire courte écrite en 1908 alors que l’auteur n’a que 21 ans, Sipour Pashout (Une simple histoire), un récit entre novella et roman publié en 1935 et Shira, un long roman que l’auteur ne semble pas pouvoir terminer, dont certains passages paraissent dans la presse vers la fin des années 1940 mais qui sera publié en 1971 à titre posthume par la fille d’Agnon, en charge de l’œuvre, et ce, à la demande de son père. Chaque histoire est traitée séparément puis, par comparaison, la recherche tente d’évaluer l’influence freudienne à travers l’évolution des personnages, leurs comportements, la dynamique du couple, leurs rêves, leurs réactions face au manque provoqué par l’absence de l’être aimé. Ce travail aborde également la relation ambivalente d’Agnon à la psychanalyse
Huguette Caland: imagine/otherwise
No full text“The madness that spun me into Huguette Caland’s art the first time around felt as if falling off a rollercoaster headfirst into a mountain of frosting. Surrendering to the sumptuous curve of pink hues, they gradually began to tessellate forming an orbit, a tender crossing of blue.”
Lebanese-born artist, Huguette Caland (1931–2019) was a path-breaking figure in late modernism. The only daughter of the first Lebanese president, Bechara El Khoury, she produced a singular body of art that spanned media and continents. Working for more than five decades, her art is recognized for its embodied aesthetic and its unique sensuality.
In this searching critical biography, author and curator, Omar Kholeif, disentangles the seeming madness, velocity, and the interiority of Caland’s life.
Both an epistolary memoir and a biography, Kholeif, interleaves the affective experience of encountering the artist over a period of 18 years, as readers are summoned on a journey through clouds of bristling color. Here, Caland’s fields of light are set to lyric prose and poetry, fashioning a scene for looking at and experiencing the erotics of art anew

Consolidation and strength evolution of Caland-Beer Channel mud: Measurement report on laboratory experiments
No full textMany harbours in the world suffer from high siltation rates in their basins. To guarantee safe shipping, harbour authorities have to maintain the navigable depth by having dredged large amounts of mud. Some authorities relate the navigable depth to a depth at which the density is equal to a certain value, e.g. 1200 kg/m3. However,the shear strength might be a more direct criterion to relate the navigable depth to. A research project is conducted to develop a model to describe the consolidation behaviour and strength evolution of mud layers. The second series of experiments for this project, executed at Delft University of Technology,are described in this report. The analysis of the data is left for future work. The sedimentation and consolidation of Caland-Beer Channel mud was simulated in segmented consolidation columns. The use of segments made it possible to obtain well-defined and undisturbed samples of the mud bed. For this reason, more accurate shear vane measurements of the samples could be done than if conventional consolidation columns had been used. Four segmented consolidation columns and one conventional consolidation column were set up. To study the time evolution of the strength of the mud bed, the segmented columns were dismantled at different times. After the dismantling, shear vane tests could be carried out and density measurements could be done with a conductivity probe. The density profiles of the mud layer in the conventional column were measured with a gamma-ray densimeter. Pore water pressures were measured at several times. From these measurements effective stresses and permeabilities were calculated. Various rheological parameters were derived from four different types of shear vane measurements. Flow curves were also measured. It turned out that the effective stresses could be approximated by a power law. Furthermore, the rheological parameters turned out to be approximately linearly interrelated, even though the parameters were derived from different types of rheological experiments. Small modifications of the experimental set-up are recommended for future experiments.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Slibdichtheid: Een onderzoek naar de dichtheidsopbouw van sliblagen in de Maasmond en het Caland-Beerkanaal
No full textOp basis van periodiek uitgevoerde lodingen en dichtheidsmetingen uit de periode 1994-1995 is in dit rapport meer kennis over het gedrag van sliblagen en de dichtheidsopbouw van deze lagen in de Maasmond en het Caland-Beerkanaal verkregen. De probleemstelling luidde als volgt : Hoe verschilt de dichtheidsopbouw van sliblagen per peiling en/of (deel)gebied en is dit te verklaren ? De belangrijkste conclusie lijkt te zijn dat de dichtheidsopbouw grotendeels wordt bepaald door de mate van aanslibbing. De grootste aanslibbing vindt plaats tussen kilometerraai (kmr) 1034 en kmr 1032. Vervolgens vindt als gevolg, van bodemtransporten via een Fluid Mud laag een herverdeling van sediment plaats. Ook resuspensie als gevolg van scheepvaart zou kunnen bijdragen aan een verdere verspreiding van het sediment. Hierdoor wordt uiteindelijk een gebied gevormd waarin een slibbult kan worden waargenomen. De dichtheid van het vers gesedimenteerd slib is veelal kleiner dan 1.2 ton/m3 over soms 2 meter met de diepte. De grootte van de aanslibbing maakt dat in dit gebied de consolidatie lange tijd duurt. Vooral omdat er sprake is van een grote initiële laagdikte. Rond een dichtheid van 1.2 ton/m3 gaat het praces van consolidatie steeds moeilijker omdat de sliblaag dan een structuur met sterkte ontwikkelt. Mede daaram kunnen zich in dit gebied lagen ontwikkelen waarin de dichtheid (ongeveer 1.2 ton/m3) nauwelijks toeneemt (constante dichtheidslaag). De verder toename van de dichtheid gaat zeer langzaam. Als gevolg van baggerwerk zal de laagdikte van deze constante dichtheidslagen afnemen. De slibbult bepaalt voor een zeer lange tijd het beeld dat kan worden waargenomen in de dichtheidsopbouw van de sliblagen. In aangrenzende gebieden (meer landinwaarts) vindt er op een veel kleinere schaal aanslibbing plaats. Tot de ontwikkeling van grote sliblagen waarin de dichtheid nauwelijks toeneemt komt het hier dan ook niet. Gebleken is dat het aanslibbingsmechanisme beheersgrensoverschreidend is. Om te komen tot de meest optimale onderhoudsbaggerstrategie zal het aanslibbingsprableem integraal moeten worden opgepakt. Uit de overlegvorm Baggeren 2000 blijkt al dat deze intentie er is. Op grond van een theoretische beschouwing wordt verder geconcludeerd dat het slepen van een zuigbuis van een sleephopperzuiger door een sliblaag geen effect heeft op de dichtheidsopbouw. De belangrijkste vraag die blijft staan is op welke wijze de slibbult zich verplaatst. Dit is van belang voor de aanslibbing in het achterliggende gebied.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Prediction of ground vibrations induced by impact driving of dolphin piles in Caland Canal
No full textModeling pile driving is a complex process, including vibrations generated from the driving hammer, propagating further through the pile and transferred to the surroundings at the pile-soil interface. The vibrations propagating through the ground interact with structures, potentially causing damage to both underground and structures at surface level or potentially disturbing their inhabitants. Prediction models of ground vibrations focus on estimating the vibrations at ground surface level. The prediction of vibration amplitude at different depths can be more useful at sites with sensitive ground conditions. A model predicting these subsurface vibrations, easily applicable in engineering practice is currently not available or not validated. One of the impediments in developing a model for predicting ground vibrations at different depths is the lack of field data for validation. The purpose of this thesis is to find a prediction model for ground vibrations at different depths below the surface level. The study is focused on vibrations induced by impact driving of open ended steel tubular piles. A literature study was conducted to gain theoretical knowledge on pile driving and ground vibrations. The model developed by Massarsch and Fellenius [15] was found in the literature and although it predicts ground vibrations at surface level, the adaptation of the model for predicting vibrations at different depths was studied. Vibration measurements from the field test performed in the Caland Canal have been analyzed. The soil profile at the site consists of sandy clay and clay layers overlying a dense sand layer. First, large diameter dolphin piles were driven by a vibratory hammer. When the pile toe reached the dense sand layer, the driving process was changed to impact hammering in order to change the characteristics of the vibrations transmitted through the soil. The pile driving was extensively monitored and particle velocities were recorded by 3D geophones placed up to depths of NAP -22m (9.50m embedment depth). The prediction model of Massarsch and Fellenius [15] makes a distinction between the velocities of different wave types emitted from piles during impact driving. These waves are the shear waves propagating with a cylindrical wave front along the pile shaft and compression waves emitted at the pile toe, propagating with a spherical wave front. Surface waves resulting from wave reflection at ground surface are not considered in this thesis, as this research focuses on vibrations at different depths. Wave velocities are calculated from the hammer input energy, taking into account ground conditions and considering the vibration transmission efficacy which defines the amount of energy transmitted at the pile-soil interface. The model is adapted for open ended tubular piles. Due to the large diameter of the dolphin piles and the present soil conditions, the soil plugging effect and its contribution to dynamic soil resistance at the pile toe are ignored. Dynamic soil resistance at the pile toe is considered the source of spherical waves, while the soil resistance along the pile shaft is the source of cylindrical waves. The ratio between the pile cross section and the total area delimited by the external diameter is taken into account when calculating the dynamic soil resistance at the pile toe, resulting particle velocities of spherical waves smaller than unity. Therefore the cylindrical waves propagating from the pile shaft are considered the main source of ground vibrations. The results of the prediction model have been compared to vibration values measured in the field test. The predicted vibration amplitudes are a good approximation of the vibration levels measured in the sandy clay and clay layers. The predicted vibrations are of higher magnitude compared to the amplitude of vibrations recorded by the sensors placed in the dense sand layer.Civil Engineering and GeosciencesGeoscience & EngineeringGeo-Engineerin
