Appropriations of Irish drama by modern Korean nationalist theatre : a focus on the influence of Sean O’Casey in a colonial context
No full textMy thesis explores how a translated author on the periphery of the host culture’s
translated repertoire can be at once subversive and innovative on the colonial scene,
using as an example the case of Sean O’Casey in colonial Korea. It explores the
importation of Irish drama in modern Korean theatre during the colonial period and
examines the appropriations of O’Casey’s plays by a central Korean playwright, Yu
Chi-jin, in creating his own plays. Under Japanese colonial rule in the early twentieth
century, intellectuals perceived the supreme task for the Korean people to be the
recovery of national sovereignty and independence. The modern Korean theatre
movement which rose among Korean intellectuals and dramatists during the colonial
period was to play a major part in this task. The ultimate goal of this movement was
to establish a modern national theatre promoting Korean culture and educating the
people, thereby recovering national independence. As their modernised dramatic
polysystem was still "young", Korean intellectuals and dramatists who were
involved in the theatre movement had to borrow dramatic models from other
countries. One of the models they chose was Irish playwrights, especially those who
were involved in the Irish dramatic movement. They published or staged the works
of W.B. Yeats, Lord Dunsany [Edward John Moreton Drax Plunkett], Augusta
Gregory, J.M. Synge, St. J. Ervine, T.C. Murray and Sean O'Casey. Although
O'Casey was considered an important dramatist in the Irish dramatic movement, he
was a playwright on the periphery in the list of translated Irish dramatists in Korea
due to the colonisers’ censorship. However, he remained as a subversive and
innovative playwright on the colonial scene by virtue of being appropriated by Yu
Chi-jin who used O’Casey’s plays as models when creating his own works. In
discussing the subject matter of my thesis, I use Even Zohar’s polysystems theory as
a starting point in looking at ideological issues surrounding translation and extend
the discussion to offer a postcolonial perspective. While most translation in a
colonial context was considered as "an expression of the cultural power of the
colonisers," my thesis shifts the focus to translation as an expression of the cultural
power of the colonised. I explore how the colonised uses another colonised culture to
subvert the colonisers’ power

Recall this Book 60: Sean Hill on Bodies in Space and Time
No full textElizabeth is joined by Elizabeth Bradfield, poet, naturalist and professor of poetry at Brandeis, in a conversation with the poet Sean Hill, author of Blood Ties and Brown Liquor (2008) and Dangerous Goods (2014). Sean read his Musica Universalis in Fairbanks, (it appeared in the Alaska Quarterly Review) and then, like someone seated in an archive turning over the pages of aged and delicate documents, unfolded his ideas about birds, borders, houses and who was here before me

A block Toeplitz preconditioner for all-at-once systems from linear wave equations
No full textIn this work, we propose a novel parallel-in-time preconditioner for an all-at-once system, arising from the numerical solution of linear wave equations. Namely, our main result concerns a block tridiagonal Toeplitz preconditioner that can be diagonalized via fast sine transforms, whose effectiveness is theoretically shown for the nonsymmetric block Toeplitz system resulting from discretizing the concerned wave equation. Our approach is to first transform the original linear system into a symmetric one and subsequently develop the desired preconditioning strategy based on the spectral symbol of the modified matrix. Various Krylov subspace methods are considered. That is, we show that the minimal polynomial of the preconditioned matrix is of low degree, which leads to fast convergence when the generalized minimal residual method is used. To fully utilize the symmetry of the modified matrix, we additionally construct an absolute-value preconditioner which is symmetric positive definite. Then, we show that the eigenvalues of the preconditioned matrix are clustered around & PLUSMN;1, which gives a convergence guarantee when the minimal residual method is employed. Numerical examples are given to support the effectiveness of our preconditioner. Our block Toeplitz preconditioner provides an alternative to the existing block circulant preconditioner proposed by McDonald, Pestana, and Wathen in [SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 40 (2018), pp. A1012-A1033], advancing the symmetrization preconditioning theory that originated from the same work
An Interview with Cass R. Sunstein: Author of The World According to Star Wars
No full textThe guest editors of special issue 12, Jason W. Ellis and Sean Scanlan, interview Cass R. Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard, where he is founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy. He is the author of many books, including the bestseller Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness (with Richard H. Thaler). His 2016 book The World According to Star Wars attempts to understand the Star Wars universe in ten chapters through the lenses of Sunstein’s academic interests, namely: culture, sociology, psychology, behavioral science, and political science. The book is both personal and theoretical, practical and academic. It takes accurate measure of the genesis of the movies, the movies themselves, and briefly, but trenchantly, it examines concepts such as reputational cascades and speculates on what Star Wars can teach viewers about constitutional disputes
A Fulfillment Of Private Rights Post-Divorce According To A Compilation Of Islamic Law
No full textFulfilling children's rights is an activity to guarantee the needs of life, protect and give children what they should get, namely the right to live, grow and develop, be cared for and cared for by their own parents. Therefore, every child has the right to have the same rights in front of their parents, there is no discrimination or discrimination. This paper discusses the fulfillment of hadhanah rights after divorce, which aims to find out how the provisions for children's rights are according to the compilation of Islamic law after divorce, how efforts are made to fulfill the hadhanah rights of minors after divorce according to the compilation of Islamic law and find out how the analysis of decision No. 2184/Pdt.G/2020/PA.Mdn. This type of thesis research uses normative legal research with a qualitative approach method, while the research method used is literature study.(library research)with data collection techniques using secondary data consisting of primary legal materials, secondary legal materials and tertiary legal materials. That the author found in the trial several factors that caused custody of the child to fall to the biological father. The results of this research consist of several factors, namely that the child's mother left her child more than 1 year ago, the mother is currently living with another man and already has a child with that man, while the child's mother has not divorced from the child's father, and all this time the child has been in his father's care. So the panel of judges considers that it is in the interests of the child that the child's education and morals will be better maintained if he remains with his father. Here the author agrees with the judge's decision which states that custody of the child falls to the father. To strengthen the quality and capacity as well as the integrity of families with children, the government is obliged to provide services and training for parents and children
