Player agency in interactive narrative: audience, actor & author
No full textThe question motivating this review paper is, how can
computer-based interactive narrative be used as a constructivist learn-
ing activity? The paper proposes that player agency can be used to
link interactive narrative to learner agency in constructivist theory,
and to classify approaches to interactive narrative. The traditional
question driving research in interactive narrative is, ‘how can an in-
teractive narrative deal with a high degree of player agency, while
maintaining a coherent and well-formed narrative?’ This question
derives from an Aristotelian approach to interactive narrative that,
as the question shows, is inherently antagonistic to player agency.
Within this approach, player agency must be restricted and manip-
ulated to maintain the narrative. Two alternative approaches based
on Brecht’s Epic Theatre and Boal’s Theatre of the Oppressed are
reviewed. If a Boalian approach to interactive narrative is taken the
conflict between narrative and player agency dissolves. The question
that emerges from this approach is quite different from the traditional
question above, and presents a more useful approach to applying in-
teractive narrative as a constructivist learning activity

Li leaching from Li carbonate-primer: Transport pathway development from the scribe edge of a primer/topcoat system
No full textDepletion depths of inorganic components from a scribe edge in a polyurethane primer containing Li2CO3, MgO, BaSO4 and TiO2 beneath a topcoat, were determined using a range of techniques including SEM/EDS and proton induced X-ray and γ-ray emission spectroscopies. SEM of sections cut using an ion beam revealed scribe damage penetrating 20–25 μm away from the scribe edge prior to leaching. After neutral salt spray (NSS) exposure a leached zone developing from the scribe edge was observed. For longer NSS exposure times (>96 h) this leached zone of nearly complete Li and Mg depletion did not develop any deeper than the scribe damaged region indicating that the depletion zone was caused by mechanical damage due to scribing. At short times small voids were formed in Li2CO3 particles within the primer well away from the scribe (100–260 μm) whereas a mixture of void and detachment in and around Li2CO3 particles was observed at longer times. The detachment was assumed to be part of a channel network within clusters of particles. Internal stresses within the primer resulting from buildup of inhibitor dissolution product within the voids were modelled using finite element analysis. It was found that strains related to von Mises stresses were concentrated around the inorganic particles and developed preferentially within the plane of the primer beneath the topcoat with some indication of concentration towards the primer/metal interface. These stresses resulted from osmosis and swelling related to the voids. They were also attributed to the observed cracking of the binder at some locations. Leaching experiments showed that Li was released very rapidly from the primer. The leaching data was modelled using a power law where the mass released is proportional to tn where the n is an index that reflects the kinetic behavior dictated by the evolving primer porosity. In this study n values between 0 and 1 were observed for all species, with Li starting at around 0.7 but rapidly decreasing to close to zero.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.(OLD) MSE-6Team Arjan Mo
Author, Scribe, and Book in Late Medieval English Literature by Rory G. Critten (review)
No full text[Extract] The writers whose works are the subject of this book, Thomas Hoccleve, Margery Kempe, John Audelay, and Charles d'Orléans, were diverse in achievement, class, occupation, location, genre, subject matter, and gender. What they shared was an era—the first half of the fifteenth century—and the English language, in which each composed one or more of their works. Author, Scribe and Book brings these authors together on the basis of one further attribute that they shared—self-publication. Each participated in the physical making of their books, either by transcription—Hoccleve—, by dictation—Margery—, by compilation—Audelay—, or by supervision—Charles
La place du monde anglophone dans les livrets d’Eugène Scribe
No full textInternational audienceEugène Scribe (1791-1861) was the author of 425 plays, including 94 librettos for comic operas and thirty librettos for operas, performed in nineteen Parisian theatres, one provincial theatre and three foreign theatres. During his lifetime, these works ensured their author widespread national and international success. The aim of this contribution is a general study of the place of the English-speaking world in Scribe’s opera and opera-comique librettos, whether they be adaptations of English-language authors, works with English characters or plots set in an English-speaking country (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, USA and British India). English history in general, and the reigns of Edward III, Henry VII, Elizabeth I and Charles II in particular, serve as a thematic reservoir of librettos for at least four of Scribe’s opéras-comiques. Three novels by Walter Scott and a play by Shakespeare inspired two comic opera librettos and one Italian opera libretto.Eugène Scribe (1791-1861) est l’auteur de 425 pièces de théâtre, dont 94 livrets d’opéras-comiques et trente livrets d’opéras, créés dans dix-neuf théâtres parisiens, un théâtre de province et trois théâtres étrangers. Ces ouvrages assurent à leur auteur de son vivant un très large succès national et international. L’objet de cette contribution consiste dans l’étude générale de la place du monde anglophone dans l’ensemble des livrets d’opéras et d’opéras-comiques de Scribe, qu’il s’agisse d’adaptations d’auteurs anglophones, d’ouvrages comportant des personnages anglais ou d’intrigues situées dans un pays anglophone (Angleterre, Écosse, Pays de Galles, Irlande, États-Unis, Inde). L’histoire de l’Angleterre en général et les règnes d’Édouard III, Henri VII, Elizabeth Ire et Charles II en particulier, font office de réservoir thématique de livrets pour au moins quatre opéras-comiques de Scribe. Trois romans de Walter Scott et une pièce de théâtre de Shakespeare ont inspiré deux livrets d’opéras-comiques et un livret d’opéra italien

Matthew as marginal scribe in an advanced agrarian society
No full textAnalysis of 22 references to scribes in the Gospel of Matthew shows that a few of them are positive comments and that the author himself was a scribe. What type of scribe was he and how can we clarify his social context? By means of the models of Lenski and Kautsky, by recent research about scribes, literacy, and
power, and by new marginality theory, this article extensively refines Saldarini’s hypothesis that the scribes were “retainers”. The thesis is that in “Matthew’s” Christ-believing group, his scribal profession and literacy meant power and socio-
religious status. Yet, his voluntary association with Christ believers (“ideological marginality”), many of whom could not participate in social roles expected of them (“structural marginality”), led to his living between two historical traditions, languages, political loyalties, moral codes, social rankings, and ideological-
religious sympathies (“cultural marginality”). The Matthean author’s cultural marginality will help to clarify certain well-known literary tensions in the Gospel of Matthew

Producing Piers Plowman to 1475: author, scribe, and reader
No full textMy doctoral thesis, "Producing Piers Plowman to 1475: Author, Scribe, and Reader," charts a new material history of William Langland's fourteenth-century dream vision, Piers Plowman, from its earliest composition to the onset of print in England. The study is divided into three sections, which examine the production of Piers from three perspectives: textual history, manuscript circulation, and medieval reception. The first section of the thesis conducts a study of Langland's revisionary process, presenting a new theory of authorial revision from the A to B version that has important implications for our understanding of authorship in Piers Plowman and for the future editing of the poem. The second section transitions into an examination of the early circulation of the Piers manuscripts in various geographical and social milieux. It examines two case studies of manuscript circulation in the Southwest Midlands and East Anglia, linking them to regionalized networks of scribes and patrons. Finally, Section III moves into a discussion of the literary contexts in which Piers circulates, particularly in multi-text manuscripts, examining how the poemâs reception by a medieval audience affected its development as a literary text. This section treats production from a more theoretical standpoint, investigating the relationship between the poem's audience and the "production" of meaning in a social and historical context. As I will argue, each of these sections acts as an important frame of reference for understanding the multifaceted formation of Piers Plowman as a literary text and cultural landmark. In particular, the thesis emphasizes the importance of Piers's various contexts, from its textual genesis in the author's composition and revision to its circulation and reception in an unstable manuscript culture. It suggests that the people and the places that surrounded Piers Plowman in its early development fundamentally shaped the poem we have today.</p
