Novel Dialogue 2.5: Stitching the Past to the Present: Caryl Phillips speaks with Corina Stan (JP)
No full textCaryl Phillips, professor of English at Yale, world-renowned and prize-winning novelist (from The Final Passage to 2018's A View of the Empire at Sunset) shares his thoughts on transplantation, on performance, on race, even on sports. Joining him here are John and the wonderful comparatist Corina Stan, educated in Romania, Germany, France and the US, author of The Art of Distances: Ethical Thinking in 20th century Literature. It's a rangy conversation. John begins by raving about Caryl's italics, he in turn praises Faulkner's. Corina and Caryl explore his debt (cf. his The European Tribe) to American writers like Richard Wright and James Baldwin. Meeting Baldwin was scary back in those days before there were "writers besporting themselves on every university campus." Caryl praises the joy of being a football fan (Leeds United), reflects on his abiding loyalty to his class and geographic origins and his fondness for the moments of Sunday joy that allow people to endure. John raises Orhan Pamuk's claim (In Novel Dialogue last season) that the novel is innately middle-class; Caryl says that it's true that as a form it has always taken time and money to make and to read. But "vicars and middle class people fall in love, too; they get betrayed and let down, a gamut of emotion that's as wide as anybody else." He remains drawn to writers haunted by the past: Eliot, W.G. Sebald, the huge influence of Faulkner trying to stitch the past to the present. And his treat? Caryl treasures his ability to stop writing; he turned down a Guardian column because he hopes to have the good manners to shut up when he has no thought pressing to get out. But when the writing itself stops being a treat

No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014.Esta tese, vinculada à linha da "Teoria, crítica e história da tradução" objetiva a retradução comentada de Corinne ou l'Italie (1807) de Madame de Staël. No primeiro capítulo, descrevem-se a vida e as obras da autora, com ênfase para Corinne ou l'Italie, que foi traduzida e retraduzida em outras línguas, principalmente o inglês, italiano e alemão. Em seguida, no capítulo 2, apresenta-se a primeira tradução para o português do Brasil Corina ou a Itália (1945, Edições Cultura). Como terceira etapa, comenta-se a retradução com base nas reflexões teóricas de Berman, Pym, Venuti, Gambier. Apresentam-se exemplos dos aspectos semânticos, culturais, estilísticos presentes ao longo dos XX livros, a partir do original e da retradução. Os comentários do processo de tradução permitem uma frutífera troca literária e cultural e a tradução, o estudo e conhecimento da obra de Madame de Staël, por consequência, enriquecem o cânone da literatura francesa traduzida no Brasil.Abstract : This thesis, linked to the research field "Theory, criticism and history of translation" attempts to do a commented retranslation of Mme de Staël's Corinne ou l'Italie (1807). The first chapter describes the life and the works of the author, with emphasis on Corinne ou l'Italie, which was translated and retranslated into other languages, mainly English, Italian and German. In Chapter 2, the first translation of Corinne ou l'Italie into Brazilina Portuguese (1945, Cultura Printings) is presented. In chapter 3 the retranslation is analyzed through comments based on theoretical reflections of Berman, Pym, Venuti and Gambier. Examples of semantic, cultural and stylistics aspects of the XX books (original and retranslated version) are presented. The comments of the translation process allow a rich literary and cultural exchange. As well as a deeper investigation about Madame de Staël's work enriches the standard of French literature in Brazil
Chern-Simons theory and equivariant factorization algebras
No full textCorina Keller studies non-perturbative facets of abelian Chern-Simons theories. This is a refinement of the entirely perturbative approach to classical Chern-Simons theory via homotopy factorization algebras of observables that arise from the associated formal moduli problem describing deformations of flat principal bundles with connections over the spacetime manifold. The author shows that for theories with abelian group structure, this factorization algebra of classical observables comes naturally equipped with an action of the gauge group, which allows to encode non-perturbative effects in the classical observables.

Pensar históricamente a Pierre Vilar
No full textFil: Luchía, Corina. Universidad de Buenos Aires. Facultad de Filosofía y Letras; Argentina.Fil: Luchía, Corina. Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas; Argentina.Los trabajos largamente citados de Pierre Vilar y base de prolíficas contribuciones a lo largo del siglo XX, desde su tesis doctoral sobre la Cataluña en la España Moderna, sus exquisitos aportes sobre la crisis del siglo XVII, hasta su breve pero significativa Historia de España, lo convierten en un autor cuyo abanico de problemáticas abordadas resulta no sólo de sus diversas preocupaciones, sino producto a la vez de su propio método. La sumatoria de temas, de objetos parciales de estudio, no puede ser considerada como una superposición de inquietudes oscilantes, sino como parte de una indagación de la totalidad contradictoria que se expresa en el devenir del complejo desarrollo histórico.The papers cited by Pierre Vilar long and prolific basis of contributions during the twentieth century, from his doctoral dissertation on the Catalunya in modern Spain, its exquisite contributions on the crisis of the seventeenth century, until her brief but significant history of Spain make him an author whose range of issues addressed is not only their various concerns, but the product of both his own method. The summation of themes, partial objects of study, can not be considered as a superposition of oscillating concerns, but as part of an investigation of all contradictory that is expressed in the evolution of complex historical development

ISBN 978-9975-75-981-6.The public-private partnership is one of the main forms of carrying out activities of social interest. European experience shows us that public-private partnership projects can be implemented in a variety of sectors such as: transport (highways, airports, ports, railways, urban transport), water and wastewater, solid waste, heating, health (hospitals) , education, defense, administrative buildings, national security (prisons), tourism. In this article the author examines the specific features of public-private partnership contracts and the analysis of their impact on accounting according to the Methodical Indications on the particularities of accounting in the process of achieving public-private partnership.

Generalizing Non-punctuality for Timed Temporal Logic with Freeze Quantifiers
No full textMetric Temporal Logic (MTL) and Timed Propositional Temporal Logic (TPTL) are prominent real-time extensions of Linear Temporal Logic (LTL). In general, the satisfiability checking problem for these extensions is undecidable when both the future U and the past S modalities are used. In a classical result, the satisfiability checking for MITL[U,S], a non-punctual fragment of MTL[U,S], is shown to be decidable with EXPSPACE complete complexity. Given that this notion of non-punctuality does not recover decidability in the case of TPTL[U,S], we propose a generalization of non-punctuality called non-adjacency for TPTL[U,S], and focus on its 1-variable fragment, 1-TPTL[U,S]. While non-adjacent 1-TPTL[U,S] appears to be a very small fragment, it is strictly more expressive than MITL. As our main result, we show that the satisfiability checking problem for non-adjacent 1-TPTL[U,S] is decidable with EXPSPACE complete complexity.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Team Manuel Mazo J
Reading beyond the female: The relationship between perception of author gender and literary quality
No full textThis thesis combines methods from sociology of literature and natural language processing to answer the questions: what is the relationship between author gender and the perceived literary quality of her work? And to what extent can textual qualities be ascribed to author gender? I first assess Dutch female authors’ chances of gaining literary prestige. Even though female authors publish many literary works, they still have a harder time climbing the literary ladder. Results of the 2013 National Reader Survey mirror this skewness. Respondents were asked to supply ratings of literary quality, on a list of 401 recent, bestselling Dutch-language novels in several genres (the Riddle of Literary Quality corpus). Even within genre works by female authors’ are judged to be of lesser quality, and ‘feminine’ novels are seen as the worst; formulaic detectives score better. Female author gender is not a conscious motivation, but analysis of respondents’ motivations shows that instead, the text is associated with ‘femaleness’ – through genre, topics or style. Such associations lead to perception of lower literary quality. I then analyze the text of the novels themselves to examine to which extent such femaleness of text exists. First, computational analysis of the Riddle corpus indicates that author gender is too easily assumed to be the cause of text differences. Moreover, additional visualizations show that gender group differences are often caused by outliers. In the final chapters, I focus on a ‘feminine’ topic, attention to characters’ physical appearance. I show that it is not exclusive to the genre of chick-lit, nor to female authors. In fact, male literary authors write most about physical appearance, in describing female love interests. This novel approach shows that female author gender is connected to the text differently than expected. By reading differently, literary quality can be judged separate from female author gender
