Francophonie en Orient: Aux Croisements France-Asie (1840-1940) Languages and culture in history./ Mathilde Kang.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.This book offers a pioneering study of Asian cultures that officially escaped from French colonization but nonetheless were steeped in French civilization in the colonial era and had heavily French-influenced, largely francophone literatures. It raises a number of provocative questions, including whether colonization is the ultimate requirement for a culture's being defined as francophone, or how to think about francophone literatures that emerge from Asian nations that were historically free from French domination. The ultimate result is a redefining of the Asian francophone heritage according to new, transnational paradigms.Cover; Table des matières; Introduction; Plaidoyer pour une francophonie de cohabitation; Quelques rappels historiques; L'orientation des études francophones; La difficulté d'une définition standard; Le transculturel comme méthodologie; La Francophonie en Orient ou en Asie ?; Francophone de souche vs. francophone de culture; Littérature francophone vs. littérature non-francophone; Délimitations du corpus; Le plan d'ensemble; I.

Francophonie in the Orient:at the crossroads France–Asia (1840–1940). By MATHILDE KANG
No full textÉcrit dans un langage peaufiné, ce présent ouvrage pousse plus avant l’étude informative des faits francophones — historiques, sociologiques, littéraires — dans les pays ‘non-francophones’ de l’Asie de l’Est, tels que le Japon, la Corée, mais surtout la Chine. Mathilde Kang exclut délibérément les anciennes colonies françaises en Indochine de sa focalisation principale, tout en soulignant les relations pan-asiatiques face à l’influence politique et culturelle de la France dans cette région. Ce faisant, l’auteure déplace fermement le cadre théorique postcolonial en proposant une conception alternative et élargie de la francophonie en Asie, à savoir celle d’‘une francophonie de cohabitation’ (p. 9), modèle plus dynamique, qui examine les phénomènes transnationaux ainsi que les interpénétrations culturelles dans l’espace francophone historique et contemporain. Ainsi le terme ‘francophonie’ s’applique également aux pays ou aux lieux où le français sert non pas d’une langue officielle, mais d’une langue (parmi d’autres) de culture

Study on Solar KANG Heating System for Cold Areas
No full textAbstractThe current rural traditional heated kang cannot meet people's increasing requirements of comfort and environmental protection. This paper propose solar kang heating system in cold regions. System performance and heating effect were analyzed. We selected two typical rooms. One was set in traditional kang, and the other one was solar Kang type. Using temperature recording instrument and 64 roads inspection instrument and other instruments, we test the indoor temperature and the kang surface temperature of two rooms. Solar kang thermal resistance, heat storage, heat dissipation and heating effect were analyzed and compared. The results of the study show this system have the smaller fluctuation, more comfort while alleviating the kang surface overheat or super-cooling problem. It satisfied the requirements of indoor thermal comfort. The warming rate is 5.17°C/h, and the cooling rate is 3.01°C/h. These are slower than traditional Huokang speed. It improved the heat storage capacity of kang body with surface heat dissipation 1237W. Average temperature of the solar kang heating room was improved 3.28°C. It gets the smaller indoor temperature fluctuation. PMV values are concentrated about -0.5, and this basically meet the requirements of the user comfort
Main motifs in the prose of the leftist author Kang Kyŏng-ae
No full textThe subject of this bachelor thesis is the life and work of the Korean writer Kang Kyǒng-ae, with a focus on her short prose. The aim of this thesis is an analysis of two works - Salt and Darkness - with attention to the context of the author's time. Nowadays, Kang Kyǒng-ae is considered a significant author of the 1930s and her works reflect the phenomenon of Korean emigrants in Manchuria. For a long time, leftist tendencies caused her prose to be neglected, which resulted in a considerably limited number of studies concerned with her work, in comparison to the number of studies about other writers. There are virtually no Czech studies of her work. The text of the thesis initially presents the timeframe of Kang's authorship and then analyzes select works of hers. The analysis of the works focuses on recurring motifs, which are put into a historical and social context. Keywords Kang Kyǒng-ae, Korean 1930s literature, leftist literature, Sogǔm, Ǒdu

Europa (Yeoyu): 3

Walking the night streets with a man she has known for years, whose feelings for her are bound up with his intense longing to live as a woman, the fragile bond of their relationship threatens to shatter. Internationally acclaimed author Han Kang directs her unflinching gaze on the painful complexities of damage and recovery, questioning what it is we want from ourselves and each other, and whether there are some things that are truly irreparable
