An exploration of the outsider's role in selected works by Joseph Conrad, Malcolm Lowry, V.S. Naipaul.
No full textPhDThis thesis explores ways in which the outsider questions rather than confirms
dominant cultural values whilst avoiding the crudity of overt politicisation. I argue
that the outsider's preference for an observer's stance is not so much an act which
denies responsibility to the world of his day, but rather a means of reassessing its
priorities.
In Section One, I discuss Conrad's role as an outsider in the age of Empires. I
demonstrate the ways in which Conrad employs narrators, frequently using strategies
of irony which can be and have been read in very different ways. I argue that Conrad
uses irony as a tool for condemnation rather than condonement of imperialist practice,
if not its ideology.
In Section Two, I discuss Lowry as an emigre from England (so contrasting
him with Conrad, the immigrant from Europe), and examine his dissenting voice
which opposes bourgeois prejudice against the working class, a totalising ideology
like Fascism, and a Western rationalism which sees too rigid a distinction between
sanity and madness. I demonstrate how Lowry as an outsider reacts to the age of
twentieth century World Wars.
In Section Three, I discuss Naipaul's role as an outsider in the age of
decolonisation, when bogus liberals and false redeemers fail to rebuild the newly
independent post-colonial states. As in Conrad's case, I show how a failure to read
Naipaul's ironic tone of voice has given rise to radically divergent views as to what he
is about. I also link Conrad and Naipaul through their cultural negotiation between the
'centre' and its peripheries.
By looking at these three writers in chronological order and offering a
comparative perspective on their work, I highlight the outsider's disturbing, yet
illuminating role within a historical context. I also draw attention to creative tensions
between artistic concerns and a serious political purpose. I assess the outsider as
observer and man of conscience rather than as a` mere onlooker. I conclude that the
outsider also fulfils a social obligation by promoting critical awareness on the reader's
side by means of his defamiliarising perspective
Music for classical guitar by South African composers : a historical survey, notes on selected works and a general catalogue
No full textIncludes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 296-309).This is the first comprehensive investigation of music for, or including, the classical guitar by South African composers. The focus of this research has been, firstly, to uncover as much of the repertoire as possible, and, secondly, to collate, study, catalogue and report on the information. A brief historical survey of the guitar in South Africa provides the context within which this study was conducted. The primary sources of quantitative data collection were through the archival catalogues of the South African Music Rights Organisation and through personal contact with guitarists, composers and guitar teachers. Other sources consulted were publishers, broadcasting corporations, recording companies, libraries and the internet. The body of the dissertation comprises biographical sketches, background notes, analyses and technical notes on 17 selected solo and chamber works dating from 1947 to 2007 by some of South Africa's most prominent composers and guitaristcomposers. The repertoire ranges in style from the traditional and ethnically inspired to the experimental and abstract. As this is an empirical survey, each selected entry includes details on instrumentation, duration, level of difficulty, number of pages, scordatura, commissions or requests, sources or publishers, premières and recordings. A biography of each composer is provided as well as background notes which offer an overview of the selected work. The notes discuss historical, cultural, musical and extra-musical influences, and frequently include references to interview material. The commentaries on the selected works, with musical examples, include an analytical component describing structure, form, stylistic and compositional elements, while the technical observations include performance suggestions and a grading for each work

The quest for Brazilian space research
No full textThis paper describes how QUEST(1) (QUaternion ESTimator algorithm) influenced Brazilian space research activities. Indeed, we present a short survey paper on researches in attitude determination and propagation in Brazil arising from the influence of the author of QUEST. We show how Brazilian researchers started implementing QUEST, tasting it, and later deriving other applications based on it. Some Brazilian researchers worked out further investigations through direct interaction with the QUEST author, Dr. Malcolm Shuster, addressing attitude alignment and calibration problems. Further related researches show the influence of Dr. Shuster's work on Brazilian space research.Inst Nacl Pesquisas Espaciais, POB 515, BR-12245970 Sao Jose Dos Campos, SP, BrazilSao Paulo State Univ, UNESP, Dept Math, BR-12500000 Guaratingueta, SP, BrazilSao Paulo State Univ, UNESP, Dept Math, BR-12500000 Guaratingueta, SP, Brazi

Resonant Raman scattering studies of III-V semiconductor microstructures
No full textRaman spectroscopy, an inelastic light scattering technique, explores III-V semiconductors by conveying crystal lattice structural information and by probing carrier dynamics both directly and via the electron-phonon interaction. We have examined three physical systems accentuating three aspects of Raman utility. Al\sb{\rm x}Ga\sb{\rm 1-x}As alloy work emphasizes electronic behavior, migration enhanced epitaxy (MEE) studies highlight structural results, and a phonon-assisted lasing project underscores electron-phonon interaction.The disorder-induced frequency difference between the dipole-forbidden and dipole-allowed longitudinal optic (LO) modes in Al\sb{\rm x}Ga\sb{\rm 1-x}As alloys has been investigated as a function of laser photon energy, aluminum mole fraction x, and the indirect versus direct nature of the electronic band gap. For the indirect gap alloy, the intermediate resonant state is an X-valley electron effectively localized because of its short inelastic lifetime. Raman scattering via this state is described by a calculation of the Raman susceptibility that considers the random alloy potential generated by local concentration fluctuations.MEE is a new growth technology that can order these materials in two spatial directions. In a GaSb/AlSb system we show Raman evidence of this ordering via observation of zone folded acoustic modes and compare to AlAs/GaAs results. In other work resonant Raman documents the effects on the dipole-forbidden interface mode of a periodic corrugation introduced in AlAs barrier GaAs single quantum wells."Finally, we investigate ""phonon-assisted"" lasing in photopumped quantum well heterostructure lasers. Resonant Raman is the natural choice to probe this system purported to have an enhanced electron-phonon interaction. For both the AlGaAs/GaAs and AlGaAs/GaAs/InGaAs structures examined, we provide evidence that indicates first order ""phonon-assisted"" lasing is actually renormalized band gap luminescence filtered by absorption from the unpumped sample volume. Although unable to examine second order ""phonon-assisted"" lasing, we suggest that it is a stimulated Raman process."Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T12:24:50Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 2
