Errance, déracinement volontaire : Le cas de Akira Mizubayashi
No full text“It is this effort of voluntary absence, of voluntary uprooting, of active distancing compared to its environment which always appears natural, it is then the way to get away from oneself -even if for one moment or only temporarily-, to separate from the roots, the national and all of what is, more generally, fixed in a narrow identity, it is this and above all what I would call wandering” (Mizubayashi 107-108). This extract from Petit éloge de l’errance from Akira Mizubayashi, a Japanese writer of French expression, places us at the center of the interior nomadism theme, evoking his deliberate choice for wandering, of the Japanese society.
Wandering which is understood as a decline in identity and questioning, but also as discovery of Western culture.
In his writings, the author shows his affection, his attachment to the language, literature, and French culture but he also points out the complex multicultural and pluralist relationship which lies between nation, language and identity. Our purpose is to highlight how an author as Akira Mizubayashi, who refused the conformism and condemns the Japanese society, appropriates a new reality, endorsing a language and a culture that does not convey the representations to which he had escaped breaking, so as he points out, “the locks of asphyxiating identities” (Mizubayashi 89).“C’est cet effort d’absence volontaire, de déracinement voulu, de distanciation active par rapport à son milieu qui paraît toujours naturel, c’est donc cette manière de s’éloigner de soi-même – ne serait-ce que momentanément et provisoirement –, de se séparer du natal, du national et de ce qui, plus généralement, le fixe dans une étroitesse identitaire, c’est cela et surtout cela que j’appellerai errance” (Mizubayashi 107-108). Cet extrait de Petit éloge de l’errance de Akira Mizubayashi, écrivain japonais d\u27expression française, nous place d\u27emblée dans le thème du nomadisme intérieur, évoquant, de la sorte, son choix délibéré pour l\u27errance, à rebours de la société japonaise. Errance qui est appréhendée comme recul identitaire et questionnement, mais aussi comme découverte de la culture occidentale. Dans ses écrits, l\u27auteur montre son affection, son attachement à la langue, à la littérature et à la culture française mais il signale, également, la relation plurielle, multiculturelle complexe qui existe entre nation, langue et identité. Notre propos est de souligner combien un auteur comme Akira Mizubayashi, qui refuse le conformisme et condamne la société japonaise, s\u27approprie une nouvelle réalité, faisant sienne une langue et une culture qui ne véhicule pas les représentations auxquelles il avait échappé brisant, ainsi, comme il le souligne, “les verrous des identités asphyxiantes” (Mizubayashi 89)

The politics of Atlanta’s public housing: race, planning, and inclusion, 1936-1975
No full textThe purpose of this research is threefold: to theorize the political viability of the public housing development as a political opportunity structure; to understand the creation, marginalization, and demolition of this political opportunity structure in Atlanta; and to explicate the movements from within the public housing development that translated to a more empowered residential base, and more livable communities in Atlanta, GA between the 1936 and 1975. The literature on the positive productive functions of public housing is interspersed within the literature on the politics of public housing policies (at the national level), the politics of public housing developments (at the local level), the production of a racial geography in the City of Atlanta, and the productive functions of welfare institutions (including, but not limited to, public housing developments). Further, this project attempts to understand empirical benefits of political opportunity structures, particularly as it relates to low-income and minority housing movements in the city of Atlanta. Theoretically, political opportunity structures provide a neutral platform for low-income city dwellers that have historically been denied the legal means to challenge neighborhood change, and participate in formal urban political processes and institutions. In fact, low-income groups have routinely been uprooted from their neighborhoods, contained to specific areas of the city, while those of greater means invoke a litany of legal obstructions (from restrictive covenants to lot size requirements) to prevent the free movement of low-income residents. Thus, political opportunity structures that are permanently housed in low-income and minority neighborhoods are the theoretical response to the disparities in political opportunity and collective efficacy between socioeconomic groups in the city. Using the case study examples of University Homes, Perry Homes, and Grady Homes, this dissertation examines the uses of public housing developments in Atlanta as political opportunity structures for low-income and working-class African-Americans from 1936 to 1975. The research uses a historical methodology of data collection to create a grounded theory of racial politics in the city, as well as to analyze the production of equitable outcomes and processes in the urban planning process through public housing developments.Ph.

Decoupled textures for broadband absorption enhancement beyond Lambertian light trapping limit in thin-film silicon-based solar cells
No full textWe present a modelling study of thin silicon based solar cells endowed with periodic and decoupled front/back textures. After careful optimization, the proposed device models exhibit absorption beyond the Lambertian light trapping limit for a wide range of light angles of incidence. The advanced light management scheme is applied to (nano)crystalline silicon solar cells, where the benefits of texturing the absorber rather than the supporting layers is clear and to barium (di)silicide solar cells, which could achieve an implied photocurrent densityof41.1 mA/cm2 for a thickness of only 2 \mum.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Photovoltaic Materials and DevicesElectrical Sustainable Energ

Cultural and linguistic foreignness experienced to Akira Mizubayashi: how to say? or Nanto ittara iika?
No full textThis contribution frst highlights the importance of mobility situations (exile,
immigration, or voluntary travel) today, one of the consequences of which is the ability of
individuals to forge a new ontological, cultural, and linguistic identity that switches between
different realities (Kristeva 1991; Todorov 1996; Delbart 2005; Porra 2011; Klinkenberg
2015, Amroui, Abono Maurin, Laouidat 2020, among others). In this context, the essay
entitled Une langue venue d’ailleurs (2011) by the writer of Japanese origin, Akira Mizubayashi, born in 1951, allows us to highlight the aspects in either French or Japanese that are
related to language (phonetic, lexical, and syntactic point of view) testifying to the existential evolution of the author. His biculturality and multilingualism evolved throughout his life
and proved to be a source of richness and enthusiasm favorable to interculturality despite the
feeling of foreignness that always accompanies himCette contribution met en valeur dans un premier temps l’importance actuelle
des situations de mobilité (exil, migration ou voyage volontaire) dont l’une des conséquences est la capacité des individus à se forger une nouvelle identité ontologique, culturelle
et linguistique qui bascule entre réalités différentes (Kristeva 1991 ; Todorov 1996 ; Delbart 2005 ; Porra 2011 ; Klinkenberg 2015 ; Amroui, Abono Maurin, Laouidat 2020, parmi
d’autres). Dans ce contexte, l’essai intitulé Une langue venue d’ailleurs (2011) de l’écrivain
d’origine japonaise, Akira Mizubayashi, né en 1951, nous permet de souligner les éléments
linguistiques (d’un point de vue phonétique, lexical et syntaxique) en français et en japonais
qui témoignent de l’évolution existentielle de l’auteur. Sa biculturalité et son plurilinguisme
évoluent tout au long de sa vie et s’avèrent être une source de richesse et d’enthousiasme
favorables à l’interculturalité malgré le sentiment d’étrangéité qui l’accompagne toujours

An Introduction to Akira Yuyama and his Confections with a Discussion of Its Pedagogical Effectiveness
No full textThis thesis introduces Akira Yuyama, a prolific living composer of highest distinction for his contributions to, most notably, repertoire dedicated to performances by young musicians. Confections: A Piano Sweet is arguably his most creative opus and this thesis includes an analysis of the work for its musical content as well as its effectiveness in the pedagogical context. Yuyama’s Confections has been a best-seller for over four decades in Japan and is one of the most popular set of pieces assigned to young piano students. Despite its popularity and uniqueness as programmatic music about food, the composition nor its creator have been closely examined in academic spheres. This introduction will be the first detailed document devoted to the biographical information of Yuyama and analytical discussion of his work. Also included is the author’s commentary on the most fascinating facet of Confections, which is its use of food as the principal programmatic element, and the author discusses how that relationship may affect the performer’s interpretive decisions. A recommendation for further study is enclosed.</p
