Politicising stardom: Jane Fonda, IPC Films and Hollywood, 1977-1982
No full textPhDThis thesis is an empirical analysis of Jane Fonda’s films, stardom, and political activism during the most commercially successful period of her career. At the outset, Fonda’s early stardom is situated in relation to contemporaneous moral and political ideologies in the United States and how she functioned as both an agent and symbol of these ideologies. Her anti-war activism in the early-1970s constituted the apex of Fonda’s radicalisation and the nadir of her popular appeal; a central question of this thesis, therefore, is how her stardom was rehabilitated for the American mainstream to the point of becoming Hollywood’s most bankable actress.
As the star and producer of IPC Films, Fonda developed political projects using commercial formats, namely Coming Home (1978), The China Syndrome (1979), Nine to Five (1980), and Rollover (1981). The final IPC film, On Golden Pond (1981), signalled an ideological breach in this political strategy by favouring a familial spectacle, and duly outperformed its predecessors significantly. The first and last chapters of this work provide historical parameters for IPC in Fonda’s career, while the remaining chapters are structured by the conceptual and political aspects of each IPC project. Julia (1977) is discussed as an IPC prototype through its dramatisation of political consciousness. Coming Home, The China Syndrome, Nine to Five, and Rollover all exhibit this motif whereas On Golden Pond employs melodramatic nostalgia. Often discussed reductively as a star symbolising change, this thesis instead uses archival and published sources to analyse Fonda’s individual agency in historical context, as well as the cultural and political impact of her stardom. The IPC enterprise provided cinematic apparatus for Fonda’s political recuperation within the American mainstream, which, more broadly, harboured significance for the nation’s conservative resurgence at the end of the 1970s
Periodic Solutions of Hamiltonian Systems with Symmetries
No full textAfter a brief historical account, starting with the celebrated Poincaré–Birkhoff Theorem, we provide a multiplicity result for periodic solutions of some Hamiltonian systems whose Hamiltonian function H(t,x,y) is periodic in the space variables x, and even in the variables (t,y). Our result is based on a recent theorem by R. Ortega and the author, and it does not require any twist condition on the solutions of the system

Kriteriji i postupak pročišćavanja knjižničnog fonda na primjeru fonda serijskih publikacija Sveučilišne knjižnice Rijeka
Get PDFIzgradnja knjižničnog fonda događa se svakodnevno u knjižnici. Sustavna izgradnja fonda i upravljanje njime aktivnosti su koje se ne bi trebale događati, već koje bi trebalo planirati. Briga o knjižničnom fondu ne smije prestati trenutkom uvrštenja građe u fond. Tim trenutkom započinje upravljanje fondom. Primjena načela upravljanja knjižničnim fondom predmet je ovoga rada. Cilj je dati
detaljniji uvid u postupak pročišćavanja fonda, njegove zakonitosti, kriterije i procese koje podrazumijeva. Na osnovu spoznaja prikupljenih iz uglavnom strane literature, daje se prijedlog provođenja pročišćavanja fonda na fondu serijskih publikacija Sveučilišne knjižnice Rijeka. U radu se navode postupci koje je potrebno provesti, dokumentacija koju je nužno izraditi i njen sadržaj te se ukazuje na nužnost izrade smjernica za izgradnju fonda koje će obuhvatiti i potrebu za njegovom prilagodbom promijenjenim okolnostima. Zaključuje se da je pročišćavanje vrlo složen proces, posebno u knjižnicama sa složenim sustavom zbirki poput Sveučilišne knjižnice Rijeka, ali u isto vrijeme proces kojeg je nužno uvrstiti u redovito knjižnično poslovanje sa ciljem osiguranja adekvatnosti knjižničnog fonda.Library collection development happens in libraries every day. Systematic collection development and collection management are activities in library that are not supposed to bee happening, they should be planned and managed. Taking care of library collections must not be stopped in the moment of aquisition. In that moment starts the process of collection management. Applying the principles of library collection management are subject to this paper. It's goal is to give detailed insight in weeding process, it's laws, criteria and procedures. Based on knowledge collected mainly from forend literature, author gives suggestions on weeding process in University Library Rijeka serials collection. Paper describes procedures that must be undertaken, documentation that must be created and it's content, and points out the importance of writing collection development policy statement which will describe the need to adjust the library collection to changed
circumstations. In conclusion in stated that weeding process is very complexed, especialy in libraries that have elaborated collections system like University Library Rijeka, but in the same time weeding library collection is proces which is necessary to impement in everyday library business with final goal of assuring library collection adequacy
