Charulata : éducation littéraire, éducation sentimentale
No full textArticle proposé par Oriane Guiziou-Lamour Charulata (চারুলতা) est un film indien réalisé par Satyajit Ray et sorti en 1964. Inspiré de la nouvelle Nastanirh de l'auteur Rabindranath Tagore, Satyajit Ray fait renaître le Calcutta des années 1880, à travers l'histoire de Bhupati, son cousin Amal, et sa femme Charulata. Le film est centré autour de Charulata, ou Charu, qui mène une vie lascive d'ennui, délaissée par son mari obsédé par son journal politique The Sentinel. Ce dernier, pour distr..
Charulata 2011: Dramatizing the Glocal
Get PDFA lonely wife in Kolkata and a bachelor in London have a virtual affair, but are forced to re-think their relationship when they discover he is her brother-in-law. Charulata 2011 is an ingenious post-millennial adaptation of Tagore’s novella, Nastanir (The Broken Nest, 1901), already immortalized by Satyajit Ray in his classic Charulata (1964). This intertextuality, especially with Ray, lends an added dimension to the film, allowing Chatterjee to contrast two modernities in Bengal – the colonial and glocal – over the course of a century. Both these women gain temporary respite from their suffocating marriage through an affair, but their circumstances are vastly different. While Tagore/Ray’s heroine (like Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary and Lady Chatterley) could only bond with a man she knew, technology expands Charulata’s choice in 2011. She romances the strange and the unknown – an unseen tall dark stranger with a gift for words. While the nineteenth century Bengali heroine had to reign in her erotic impulse, her twenty-first century counterpart submits to it, though with an overwhelming sense of guilt. But there are similarities too – both are childless homemakers; have a literary sensibility; and though a 100 years apart, in both their cases, the lover eventually departs, and duty ultimately wins over passion, bringing back the duly chastened wife to the wronged husband. Charulata 2011 thus dramatizes a glocalized South Asian narrative, where the protagonist negotiates an uneasy juxtaposition of a globalized outlook on the world with the entrapment of age-old social obligations in her self
FILMS OF SATYAJIT RAY AND REVIEWING THE FOULNESS OF THE FOULED NEST IN RAY’S CHARULATA
Get PDFIn this paper I intend to bring to light the cinematography of Satayjit Ray with a special reference to his movie Charulata (1964). The main focus in my paper is on dealing of human relationships and bringing to light the foulness of the so called fouled or broken nest of Bhupati and Charu. The paper also portrays Charu as a new woman who is bold enough to assert herself and capable of bringing forth the right.
 
Delocalization by disorder in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures
Get PDFAn experimental study of quasiparticle and quasi-one dimensional properties of strongly correlated two-dimensional (2D) electron systems has been carried out. The samples were low disordered
GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. Measurements were performed at low temperatures, down to 24 mK, in a dilution refrigerator (MCK 50-100 TOF) equipped with a superconducting magnet.
The goal of our work was to study quasiparticle properties of 2DEG and to investigate the effect of local disorder on the conductance of the sample.
We have performed independent measurements of effective electron mass m*, transport and quantum scattering time at three different temperatures and effective g-factor. We used Shubnokov de Haas
effect , the oscillations in the longitudinal resistance in Hall effect to study the effective mass, scattering lifetimes and effective g factor. We found out that effective mass is unaffected and agrees well with
the typical value of GaAs/AlGaAs system i.e. 0.067 me, where me is the electron mass. The quantum scattering time was studied at three different temperatures, base temperature (24mK), 200 mK and
400 mK as function of electron density. We found out that the quantum scattering time at 24 mK is independent of electron density while at higher temperatures it decreases with decrease in density.
The ratio of two lifetimes τ_t and τ_q is more than 10 for all temperatures. It means that remote Coulomb centres play a dominating role in the scattering mechanisms of our sample.
More insight is needed to study the quantum scattering time at higher temperatures. The effective g-factor experiments were done with and without in-plane magnetic field. In both cases, the g-factor shows
dependence on the magnetic field.
The main purpose of this thesis work is to investigate possible breakdown of the Anderson localization in presence of local disorder. To implement the local disorder and create delocalization
we have used fine surface gates which tuned the potential barriers in the 2DEG. This was done in two different types of samples. In one sample the finger gates and top surface gate are isolated by
an insulating layer of SiO2 and in the other sample, the two gates are intercalated. The spacing in between the finger gates is determined by the mean free path of the system. The experiments are done in
absence of magnetic field. We found out that the sample with SiO2shows the effect of disorder with decrease in the resistance. But due to charge trapped in the SiO2layer, the effect was not repeated.
In the intercalated samples with two different finger gate spacings, the effect was not visible. The delocalization was not set in these sample even at high temperatures. More study is needed to prove this
effect in GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures. A low mobility wafer can be considered as the future candidate for this experiment
Apocalyptic desires and possessing the world through the gaze: Satyajit Ray’s Charulata
Get PDFWhilst cinema certainly propagates social change as a signpost of dominant ideologies and prevalent values in society, it may also be a means to establish resisting positions, and here I examine the dynamics of ‘looking’ versus ‘to be looked-at-ness’, as it were. I attempt this through a reading of Satyajit Ray’s Charulata and problematise Laura Mulvey’s notion of the \u27male gaze\u27. Ray’s film, in fact, seem to pre-empt this with the ‘female gaze’. This, I argue, differs because it is discerning and critical, and it is through this that the woman at last comes into her own
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
