Rape and Torture: Depictions of Violence in J. M. Coetzee's Waiting for the Barbarians and Disgrace
No full textThis thesis examines depictions of violence in two of the South African author J. M. Coetzee's most significant novels, Waiting for the Barbarians (1980) and Disgrace (1999). The thesis considers contextual and historical aspects as important. It discusses how Coetzee presents manifestations of violence. In the concluding chapter, I compare the two novels concerning context, purpose, and effect of violence

Self-(de)constructions in J.M. Coetzee’s Dusklands
No full textThe Nobel Prize-winner South African author, J. M. Coetzee in his debut novel, Dusklands (1974), allows the reader to take a look into the astonishing worlds of vulnerability and violence through the juxtaposition of two locally and temporally discrepant narratives, whose fictional world is dominated by authority. This paper attempts to explore the collapse of the individual identity of the narrators, along the prevailing literary discourses around the time of the novel’s publication, with special regard to the changing concept of the self in post-modern works and to the manners of rewriting its Cartesian concept
Uniform rectifiability and ε-approximability of harmonic functions in Lp
No full textSuppose that E⊂Rn+1 is a uniformly rectifiable set of codimension 1. We show that every harmonic function is ε-approximable in Lp(Ω) for every p∈(1,∞), where Ω:=Rn+1∖E. Together with results of many authors this shows that pointwise, L∞ and Lp type ε-approximability properties of harmonic functions are all equivalent and they characterize uniform rectifiability for codimension 1 Ahlfors–David regular sets. Our results and techniques are generalizations of recent works of T. Hytönen and A. Rosén and the first author, J. M. Martell and S. Mayboroda.peerReviewe
J. M. F. Wright and Newton's method of first and last ratios
No full textWe describe the approach taken by the nineteenth-century Cambridge textbook author J. M. F. Wright to a notoriously difficult part of Newton’s Principia: the method of first and last ratios. Wright suggested an algebraic point of view that, to his mind, would not only remove all prior confusion over the method, but would also serve as a new foundation for calculus as a whole. We examine the details of Wright’s approach, and discuss whether it was as successful as he claimed it to be
„Most nad světem“ Lyrismus jako způsob transkulturace u J. M. Arguedase // "The bridge above the world": lyricism as a form of transculturation in J. M. Aeguedas’s work
No full textThe paper aims to draw attention to the way of achieving transculturation in the novel Deep Rivers
(Los ríos profundos) by the Peruvian author J. M. Arguedas. Apart from the linguistic and cultural
layer of the novel, the article also brings light to the less studied layer of genre: lyricization, intrinsic
to both the indigenous and the Spanish tradition, becomes a point of contact between the two cultures.
The combination of oralization and lyricization of the text, together with the tendency to picture
the mythical view of the universe gives the novel Deep Rivers many features of a lyricized prose
