Variations on the Author
No full text“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

Analytic theory of liquid crystalline phenomena
No full textThis thesis is concerned with the application of analytic theory to the calculation of the properties of thermotropic nematic liquid crystals based on their molecular structure. For these studies we employ the molecular field approximation, which has been shown to give a good qualitative and semi-quantitative understanding of liquid crystalline properties. In the first chapter we give an introduction to liquid crystals and their properties as it pertains to the theoretical studies of later chapters. In the next chapter we lay the necessary foundations in statistical mechanics and introduce the molecular field approximation as a theoretical framework within which we develop the molecular field theories which we employ subsequently. We begin our studies by considering the application of an electric field to a nematic monodomain, a procedure that has potential applications in the production of non-linear optical devices. The idea is that by polarising a nematic rather than an ordinary liquid, the polarisation is augmented. Thus we seek to probe the theoretical basis of this by estimating the response of the order parameters to the field using molecular field theory. In the next chapter we move on to consider the composition dependence of order parameters in binary mixtures where the solute is less anisotropic than the solvent. This is to investigate the validity of extrapolation procedures commonly used in experiment to obtain values for properties of non-mesogenic compounds intrinsic to the compound in question, in a hypothetical pure nematic state. In the final chapter we undertake to predict the properties of liquid crystal dendrimers, a fascinating new class of highly fiexible mesogenic molecule. Here the problem of the very great conformational fiexibility is addressed and a solution is presented involving a hybrid methodology that draws on both molecular field theory and Monte Carlo computer simulation techniques.</p

Rewriting history : postmodern and postcolonial negotiations in the fiction of J.G. Farrell, Timothy Mo, Kazuo Ishiguro and Salman Rushdie
No full textThis thesis is a study of the rewriting of history in the work of four novelists: J. G. Farrell, Timothy Mo, Kazuo Ishiguro and Salman Rushdie. I argue that their work occupies a particular position that is both within contemporary British fiction, yet at one remove from it.
Their work is situated within the context of critiques of history that are the source of a conflict between postmodernism and postcolonialism. I suggest that each writer engages with postmodemist aesthetics often in an attempt to produce critical histones that bear witness to the voices of those hitherto silenced in conventional historiography. However, these novelists remain anxious as to the potential consequences of mobilising postmodernist models of history, particularly as to the problems this creates concerning historical reference. The thesis aims to
identify the range of related attitudes to postmodernist critiques of history at this particular juncture of contemporary fiction in English.
I approach the specific position of the novelists under study through Homi Bhabha's work on the confluence of the postmodern and the postcolonial, focusing in particular on his suggestion that the postmodem refutation of Western epistemology enables a postcolonial space where a new range of histories emerge. Because each writer works between at least two cultures, and primarily within Britain, they negotiate from within received epistemology in an attempt to locate a space at its boundaries where conventional forms of knowledge no longer have efficacy. However, in contrast to Bhabha, these writers struggle to reach this space and remain sceptical as to the usefulness of postmodernism in making available new forms of
historiography. Ultimately, their work enables a critique of current ways of theorising the relationship between the postmodem and the postcolonial in literary studies
