No full textIs There a Possible Dialogue Between Hegemony and Cosmopolitanism? Interview with Frédéric Ramel -- What do the two concepts of hegemony and cosmopolitanism imply? Are they opposed or is there a possible dialogue between them? In a recently published chapter (“Competition for Hegemony ” in the edited volume Cosmopolitanism in Hard Times), Professor of political science at Sciences Po CERI Frédéric Ramel questions these concepts and explores their scope. The following is an interview with the author. Interview by Miriam Perier, CERI
Med Gårdagens Dörr på glänt : Povel Ramel och melodins epok
No full textThe aim of this dissertation is to examine the style of the Swedish entertainer Povel Ramel (1922-2007) as a composer and lyricist of popular songs, and to elucidate his relation to the older popular music culture, denoted "the age of melody". In the main part of the study the author analyses more than 80 works by Ramel, which he created in the 1950s and 60s. Many of the most characteristic features of the age of melody are outlined as a background to the analysis. The age of melody was the first period of popular music in the Western world - from the music hall to the bossa nova. It ended when rock became dominant over older types of popular song ("schlager"). Its musical roots were in the 19th century European parlour and dance music but gradually it became more and more influenced by American folk music. Along with the development from the pre-industrial world to the modern, urban, industrial world there emerged strong tensions between old familiar national traditions and new foreign temptations and threats. These tensions marked both the intellectual modernism and the popular culture through the whole age. Povel Ramel was in many ways the typical composer of the age of melody. His work encompasses all its predominant styles, genres and features; he catches the humour, the optimism, the distance and the tension between the old and the new, the Swedish and the foreign. And yet he was unique. His uniqueness lies in his attention and awareness of these styles and features, and in his concentrated and varied interpretations of them. He reflected the notional worlds of the age of melody in both poetical and philosophical ways, but most of all - with an unusual sincere playfulness.</p
The Sound of Silence in Tess of the d’Urbervilles and Far from the Madding Crowd
Get PDFThe article aims at showing how, in Hardy’s fiction, all sound aspires to the condition of silence. For example in Tess of the d’Urbervilles, sounds are very often conveyed as visual impressions, and Tess’s voice is hardly every heard – her voice seems choked, throttled, “stuck in her throat”. The article also examines Far from the Madding Crowd and the import of the voice, of silence, of the scream, and of the heroine’s temporary aphonia. Starting from J. J. Lecercle’s work on “the violence of language”, the author argues that the female voice in Hardy’s fiction is repressed because it conveys an uncontrollable, potentially dangerous form of jouissance. The Hardyan text makes us hear fractions of that jouissance by letting us perceive the echo of lalangue, that language which is filled with the lost substance of enjoyment.Cet article montre comment le son chez Hardy aspire à n’être que silence, par exemple dans Tess of the d’Urbervilles, où les impressions sonores sont souvent déplacées vers le registre visuel, et où Tess ne parvient pas à faire entendre sa voix – une voix qui semble étranglée, rentrée, coincée dans la gorge. Cet article s’interroge sur la voix dans Far from the Madding Crowd, sur le silence, sur le cri, sur l’aphonie passagère de l’héroïne. Prenant comme point de départ un travail de J.-J. Lecercle sur la « violence du langage », il développe l’idée que la voix féminine chez Hardy est réprimée en tant qu’elle véhicule une jouissance incontrôlable, potentiellement dangereuse. Ce sont des bribes de cette jouissance que le texte hardyen nous donne à entendre, en faisant résonner lalangue, cette langue chargée de matière jubilatoire et sonore
Point de vue sur la conservation-restauration des matières plastiques

Introduction: The Hollow Amid the Text
Get PDFInstability, disruption, uncertainty: such are some keywords common to all the essays in this collection dedicated to Far from the Madding Crowd, Thomas Hardy’s third novel and first popular success, published in 1874. In this special issue, each author views Hardy’s novel from a different angle, focusing on literary genres; space and movement; the function of objects; on specific scenes or motifs from the novel; on the diegesis and fictional representation; and on the novel’s adaptations.

Kajian Organologi Alat Musik Tradisional Gondang Melayu Suku Petalangan Produksi Datuk Jasa Di Desa Betung Kecamatan Pangkalan Kuras Kabupaten Pelalawan Provinsi Riau
No full textThe purpose of this study was to determine directly the organology of the process of making traditional musical instruments Gondang Melayu Petalangan tribe produced by Datuk Jasa in Betung Village, Pangkalan Kuras District, Pelalawan Regency, Riau Province. And specifically documenting the process of making the Malay Gondang musical instrument. The theory used in describing the organology of the Gondang traditional musical instrument of the Petalangan tribe is Andre Schaeffner (2005). The matters discussed in this study are; inventory or parts of Gondang, terminology/naming of Gondang, classification of Gondang musical instruments, description of the construction of Gondang musical instruments, production of musical sound produced by Gondang, history of Gondang musical instruments, functions of Gondang musical instruments, and status of craftsmen and how to practice Gondang. The approach used is a qualitative approach. Data collection techniques are: observation techniques, interview techniques and documentation techniques. The results of the discussion describe the study of organology of traditional musical instruments Gondang Melayu Petalangan produced by Datuk Jasa in Betung Village, Pangkalan Kuras District, Pelalawan Regency, Riau Province. From the data collection that has been collected, the author can draw the conclusion that organology is the parts contained in an object or tool, organology in music means what parts are contained in an instrument or musical instrument, and these parts of course have a name. separately
Image pre-processing & data post-processing software dedicated to flow measurements in an automotive intake manifold
No full textThe SIMBA project had for objective to model the whole air loop of the automotive engine. In order to get boundary conditions for this model and verify it, PIV measurements were done. Simultaneously in the eight intake manifold\u92s runners of a DV6 TED4 PSA engine, acquisitions were obtained for each of the 720 crank angle degrees. Specific software (named PYV) was developed to pre-process images to deal with constraints inherent to running engine environment, and also to enable automate PIV processing

Any other use requires prior permission of the author and the American Institute of PhysicsInternational audienceThe process of flow forming is numerically modeled using finite element codes based on the Forge2005® software. Two numerical approaches are considered. The first one uses an updated Lagrangian formulation. The problem is solved with help of a self-contact management algorithm. The second approach consists in using an ALE formulation that permits to optimize meshing with an adaptive method based on the Zienkiewicz-Zhu error estimation. The ALE method is well adapted to incremental forming processes such as flow forming and allows dealing with difficulties generated by the contact between the work piece and tools. Both formulations are coupled with complex tool kinematics. The Lagrangian formulation gives realistic results. The ALE formulation is promising with regard to computational time, and simulations on simple configurations show fairly good agreements with Lagrangian results
The spotlight effect and the illusion of transparency in social anxiety
No full text[Clark, D. M., & Wells, A. (1995). A cognitive model of social phobia. In: R. G. Heimberg, M. R.
Liebowitz, D. A. Hope, & F. R. Schneier (Eds.), Social phobia: diagnosis, assessment, and treatment (pp.
69–93). New York: Guildford Press] cognitive model of social phobia suggests that both public and private
sources of information contribute to the construction of the self as a social object, which is thought to
maintain the disorder. This study used two concepts developed in social psychology that might help to
explain the processes that contribute to the development of this constructed self. These two concepts are the
spotlight effect [Gilovich, T., Medvec, V. H., & Savitsky, K. (2000). The spotlight effect in social judgment:
an egocentric bias in estimates of the salience of one’s own actions and appearance. Journal of Personality
and Social Psychology, 78(2), 211–222] and the illusion of transparency [Gilovich, T., Medvec, V. H., &
Savitsky, K. (1998). The Illusion of transparency: biased assessments of others’ ability to read one’s own
emotional states. Journal of personality and social psychology, 75(2), 332–346]. Participants performed a
memory task under either a low or a high social-evaluative condition. In the high social-evaluative
condition, participants reported higher levels of the spotlight effect and more negative evaluation of task
performance, compared to participants in the low social-evaluative condition. There were no differences
between the two conditions in levels of the illusion of transparency. Surprisingly, however, in the low socialevaluative
condition, participants reported higher levels of the illusion of transparency than the spotlight
effect, whereas, in the high social-evaluative condition, they reported the opposite. Results suggest that the
spotlight effect may be specific to social-evaluative concerns, whereas, the illusion of transparency may
represent more general features of social anxiety concerns. Implications of the results for Clark and Wells’
cognitive model of social phobia model are discussed
