What Is It Like to Be a Bat-Author? Viktor Pelevin's Empire V
No full textIn this paper, Viktor Pelevin's novel Empire V (2006) is analysed, with its main concern with the status of language, in fiction as well as in contemporary Russian culture. The work is seen as a kind of sequel to Generation 17: whereas that novel predominantly focused on the problem of consciousness, its problematical relation with reality, but expressed this problem in language, in Empire V the problem of language as the form of consciousness is foregrounded; inevitably thus the status of the text we are reading and the relation it has to its author is problematized - as is the relation it has to its reader. It is a text that reflects on what language, its material, does. The possibility is suggested that this novel tries to rind a way out of postmodernism's anxieties about the conscious personality being an illusion, created by his own language.</p

Uma síntese da teoria de Brouwer clássica
No full textIn this work we present the fundamentals of Classical Brouwer Theory. We start with the works of L. E. J. Brouwer on translation arcs and the Brouwer translation theo- rem. Next, we explore the notion of maximal free brick decompositions developed by A. Sauzet. Finally, we conclude by presenting a proof of the foliated version of the Brouwer translation theorem, due to P. Le Calvez.Neste trabalho, nós apresentamos os fundamentos da Teoria de Brouwer Clássica. Nós iniciamos com os trabalhos de L. E. J. Brouwer em arcos de translação e no teorema de translação de Brouwer. Em seguida, nós exploramos o conceito de decomposição em tijolos livre e maximal, desenvolvida por A. Sauzet. Por fim, nós apresentamos a prova de P. Le Calvez da versão folheada do teorema de translação de Brouwer
Modelling risk adaptation and mitigation behaviour under different climate change scenarios
Full text linkThe main objective of this study is to simulate household choice behavior under varying climate change scenarios using choice experiments. Economic welfare measures are derived for society’s willingness to pay (WTP) to reduce climate change induced flood risks through private insurance and willingness to accept compensation (WTAC) for controlled flooding under varying future risk exposure levels. Material flood damage and loss of life are covered in the insurance policy experiment, while the WTAC experiment also captures the economic value of immaterial flood damage such as feelings of discomfort, fear and social disruption. The results show that WTP and WTAC are substantial, suggesting a more prominent role of external social damage costs in cost-benefit analysis of climate change and flood mitigation policies
