Recall this Book 25: A Conversation with Stephen McCauley
No full textOn March 20th, John talked to Stephen McCauley, author of such brilliant comic novels as Object of My Affection (also a Jennifer Aniston movie) and most recently My Ex-Life. Steve brings light to dark corners in this the second installment of Books in Dark Times. He sings the praises of Charles Dickens, of Anthony Trollope (Elizabeth, offstage, chuckles delightedly) and the world-escaping delights of both Waugh's Brideshead Revisited and the Mapp and Lucia novels of E. F. Benson. He concludes with sweet words for the sour genius of a trio of late 20th century American pessimists: Joan Didion, Dorothy Baker and Iris Owens
Self-consciousness and the image of self in the poetry of Stephen Spender, 1928 to 1934
Get PDFThe purpose of this thesis is twofold. First, to demonstrate the value and significance of Spender's early poetry in terms of its vision and technique. Through a series of close readings the thesis traces the ways in which Spender's early poetry not only shows itself to be self-conscious but also manipulates images of self. Presenting images of self, Spender achieves a balance between engagement with and distance from the self, and the reader shares in the process of poetic self-awareness. Secondly, to demonstrate the broader value of the poetry. Spender's poetry presents a distinctive exploration of the possibilities of self in relation to the external world. The resolution of Spender’s questioning and selection of both personal and public values, rooted in his contemporary situation and private circumstances, in his poetry takes the form less of historical document than of human record. The period on which I focus, 1928 to 1934, represents Spender’s first, and arguably most significant, poetic phase. The thesis is specifically concerned with four texts: Nine Experiments. Spender's contributions to Oxford Poetry (1929 and 1930), Twenty Poems and Poems (1933 and 1934). Nine Experiments marks the beginning of a particular approach and lyric style which finds its culmination in Poems (1933 and 1934). The earliest poetry is interesting largely insofar as it looks forward to later themes and techniques. In Nine Experiments and Oxford Poetry (1929 and 1930) we see Spender's often successful struggle to achieve effective forms in which to explore issues of self and value. Twenty Poems and Poems (1933 and 1934) concentrate on themes of love and friendship and the pressure on the poet of the contemporary political scene. The poetry does not reconcile the demands of the external, public world with his inner desires and aspirations, but presents a series of fascinatingly unresolved tensions. The thesis explores the way these poems strive for certainty. This striving stems from the tension between Spender's desire to politicize poetry and his tendency to the lyrical, personal statement
Neutrino mass and mixing in the seesaw playground
No full textAbstractWe discuss neutrino mass and mixing in the framework of the classic seesaw mechanism, involving right-handed neutrinos with large Majorana masses, which provides an appealing way to understand the smallness of neutrino masses. However, with many input parameters, the seesaw mechanism is in general not predictive. We focus on natural implementations of the seesaw mechanism, in which large cancellations do not occur, where one of the right-handed neutrinos is dominantly responsible for the atmospheric neutrino mass, while a second right-handed neutrino accounts for the solar neutrino mass, leading to an effective two right-handed neutrino model. We discuss recent attempts to predict lepton mixing and CP violation within such natural frameworks, focusing on the Littlest Seesaw and its distinctive predictions

The literary horror in Stephen King
No full textEl presente estado del arte fue un trabajo de recolección, organización y análisis alrededor de la obra de Stephen King. El elemento a abordar es cómo King redefine y re-contextualiza el concepto tradicional del horror literario,
esto, por medio de documentos desde la crítica literaria, la obra del autor y los ensayos del
mismo. Entre los resultados obtenidos, una serie de tópicos reiterados por los críticos fueron
organizados y crearon una distinción de la obra de King, los cuales fueron lo gótico literario, la
cultura mainstream, lo cotidiano y la infancia. En este sentido, la definición de King es la de un
horror constantemente transformado, no limitado a una sola emoción de terror, sino de variadas
sensaciones en lugares o situaciones inesperadas. También se indicó que una investigación como
la anterior es una oportunidad para examinar a un autor, su estilo y tendencias, de tal manera que
habrá una indagación más profunda de un género y un consecuente enriquecimiento de la
experiencia lectora.Licenciado en Español y Lenguas ExtranjerasPregradoThe present state of the art was a made through a documentary investigation, from the
collection, organization and analysis surrounding the work of Stephen King. The element to be
tackled is how King redefines and re-contextualizes the traditional concept of literary horror via
documents from literary criticism, the author's work and his essays. Among obtained results, a
series of topics reiterated by critics were organized and helped create a distinction of King's
work, which were: literary gothic, mainstream culture, everyday life and childhood. In this sense,
King's definition is that of a constantly transformed horror, not limited to a single emotion of
terror, but instead, of varied sensations in unexpected places or situations. It was also indicated
that an investigation like this one, is an opportunity to examine an author, his style and
tendencies, in such a way that there might be a deeper investigation of a genre and a consequent
enrichment of the reading experience

Philosophy and Theology in the Long Middle Ages: A Tribute to Stephen F. Brown
No full textR. James Long is a contributing author, “The Division of the Waters (Gen. 1,6-7): The History of a Conundrum and its Resolution by the Early Oxford Masters” , pp. 41-62.
Book description: This book is a gift to Stephen Brown in honor of his 75th birthday. The 35 contributions to this Festschrift are disposed in five parts: Metaphysics and Natural Philosophy, Epistemology and Ethics, Philosophy and Theology, Theological Questions, Text and Context. These five headings articulate Stephen Brown’s underlying conception and understanding of medieval philosophy and theology, which the editors share: The main theoretical and practical issues of the ‘long medieval’ intellectual tradition are rooted in an epistemology and a metaphysics, which must be understood not as separated from theology but as being in a fruitful exchange with theological conceptions and questions; further, in order to understand the longue durée of this tradition of philosophical and theological discourse, scholars must engage the textual traditions that conveyed it.
