“The Pondering Repose of If”: Herman Melville’s Literary Exegesis
No full textThis study examines how Herman Melville’s oeuvre interacts with Old Testament (OT) wisdom literature (the Books of Job, Proverbs, and Ecclesiastes). Using recent historical findings on the rise of religious skepticism and the erosion of Biblical authority in both Europe and the United States, I read Melville as an author steeped in the theological controversies of the eighteenth-century. Specifically, I am interested in teasing out the surprising disavowals of overt religious skepticism in Melville’s writing. By tracing the so-called Solomonic wisdom tradition throughout Melville’s oeuvre, I argue that Melville had developed an epistemology of contemplation towards that body of Biblical texts. Scholarship has traditionally painted Melville as a subversive if not downright skeptical religious thinker. Most studies have produced authorial readings, using texts as forensic evidence to make assertions about the author’s psychology. Incidentally, such assessments have confirmed the narrative of Herman Melville as a grand failed author of the nineteenth century, while ignoring the ambivalent attitudes toward Biblical authority, textual history, and skepticism that emerge in Melville’s writing. The present study intervenes by re-addressing several procedural questions about Melville’s literary dealings with the Bible: How does Melville deal with the distinct topics of religion, theology, religious skepticism, and doubt? How does he think through the relationship between science and religion as well as that of personal religion and theology? I claim that Melville’s work can be read as a continuous contemplation of Biblical wisdom. His writing, I argue, deals productively rather than a destructive with the Bible, its textual history, and authority. Melville’s thinking on theological and religious subjects was not merely subversive but constructive. In mounting this argument, I contradict current scholarship that reads Melville as trying to invent a new American Bible. In contrast, I show how Melville’s philosophical forays, even when critical, are dependent on the ethics, language, and thinking of the OT.Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Englis

STUDI EKSPERIMENTAL SAMBUNGAN ELEMEN STRUKTUR BAJA RINGAN DENGAN ALAT SAMBUNG SEKRUP DAN BAUT
No full textABSTRAK
Perkembangan teknologi bahan konstruksi bangunan saat ini menunjukkan kecenderungan penggunaan material yang efisien sesuai dengan kebutuhan. Salah satunya adalah penggunaan material baja ringan sebagai elemen struktur dalam konstruksi bangunan. Dalam perakitan dan pemasangan profil baja ringan, sehingga terbentuknya desain struktur rangka baja ringan, perlu diperhatikan ketentuan pemilihan dan pemasangan alat sambung agar diperoleh sistem struktur yang stabil, kuat dan tidak merusak lapisan anti karat. Penelitian ini membahas hasil studi eksperimental sambungan pada elemen struktur baja ringan dengan menggunakan dua tinjauan alat sambung yaitu alat sambung sekrup dan baut.
Profil baja ringan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah profil berbentuk kanal dengan ukuran 75 x 35 mm dengan ketebalan 0,75 mm. Properties material diperoleh melalui uji tarik dengan mengacu kepada Annual Book of ASTM Standars 1991 Section 3. Kondisi sambungan diamati untuk 7-spesimen, dengan tinjauan alat sambung sekrup, 4-spesimen benda uji yang disambung pada kedua bagian sayap penampang kanal dengan konfigurasi sambungan satu baris dan 3-spesimen berikutnya disambung pada bagian badan penampang kanal dengan tinjauan pemakaian sekrup tunggal. Tinjauan yang sama pada kondisi sambungan baut dengan total spesimen sebanyak 6 benda uji, masing-masing dibagi sebanyak 3-spesimen dengan dua tinjauan penempatan konfigurasi alat sambung seperti halnya pada sambungan sekrup.
Dengan pembebanan statik monotonik menggunakan Universal Testing Machine, beban aksial tarik diberikan secara bertahap kepada spesimen sampai tercapai kondisi ultimate. Dari hasil pengujian terlihat bahwa kegagalan sambungan sekrup disebabkan oleh terjadinya kerusakan pada lubang sambungan, sehingga alat sambung sekrup berotasi pada bidang tegak lurus gaya tarik, pola kegagalan sambungan ini merujuk pada salah satu jenis kegagalan ‘tilting’. Pada sambungan baut kegagalan sambungan dari hasil pengujian, memberikan bentuk kegagalan geser pada baut (baut putus). Dua bentuk kegagalan sambungan tinjauan penggunaan alat sambung sekrup dan baut ini, merujuk seperti yang didefinisikan oleh Peraturan Baja Ringan AS/NZS 4600:2005 dan SNI Baja Canai Dingin 2013. Nilai beban ultimate kekuatan sambungan yang diperoleh dari hasil eksperimental menunjukkan kesesuaian dengan formula analitik yang ada pada peraturan baja ringan dengan rata-rata perbedaan hasil sebesar 11,62 % pada sambungan sekrup dan 7,38 % pada sambungan baut. Dari dua tinjauan alat sambung yang digunakan, kekuatan sambungan baut jauh lebih kuat dari kekuatan sambungan sekrup. Dengan diameter yang sama, kekuatan sambungan baut lebih kuat 68,63 % bila dibandingkan dengan kekuatan sambungan sekrup.

The Most Famous Writer of the Low Countries: Herman Brusselmans Star Author and (Reluctant) Public Intellectual
No full textAbstractThe Flemish writer Herman Brusselmans is the most famous author of the Low Countries. In this article, Herman Brusselmans is analysed as a star author. First and foremost, two striking aspects of Brusselmans’s stardom are analysed: his public visibility and the cult of the private. Attention is then focused on Brusselmans’s experience of celebrity, which he - like many other star authors - thematises in his books. Doing so, he consciously places himself in the context of popular culture. On the other hand, as a result of his celebrity status he has been expected - particularly in the last few years - to assume the role of public intellectual willy-nilly, and this in turn has had consequences for his work.</jats:p
