Análisis retórico y poético de los relatos del padre Brown de G.K. Chesterton
No full textTesis doctoral inédita leída en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Departamento de Lingüística, Lenguas Modernas, Lógica y Fª de la Ciencia y Tª de la Literatura y Literatura Comparada. Fecha de lectura: 20-11-2020El objetivo de la investigación es analizar los elementos retóricos y poéticos de los relatos que componen la colección policiaca del padre Brown de G.K. Chesterton. A través de la aplicación de la Teoría del Lector Modelo, de Umberto Eco y de la Teoría de los Mundos Posibles –en su versión de Tomás Albaladejo– se pretende descender al proceso creativo del autor en su concepción del entramado policial y estudiar el proceso comunicativo de Chesterton, su intencionalidad y objetivos, así como la recepción en sus lectores. La Teoría del Lector Modelo permite estimar el tipo de lector que concibió el autor y la Teoría de los Mundos Posibles esbozar las distintas perspectivas de los personajes ideados para que se produzca la sorpresa esperada en la resolución de un relato policiaco. Asimismo, se presta especial atención al narrador y la focalización. Para concluir establecemos las características policiacas propias del autor con lo que consideramos que es su aportación genuina al mundo del relato criminal, deteniéndonos de manera particular en el crimen, el detective y el proceso de investigaciónThe focus of this research is to analyse the retoric and poetic aspects of the tales which are part of the compilation of the detective Father Brown Stories, by G.K. Chesterton. In this academic work we implement the Umberto Eco's theory of textual cooperation –principally the Model Reader– and the Theory of Possible Worlds developed by Tomás Albaladejo. The investigation intends to deepen the commuticative process of G.K Chesterton. In addition, we attempt to study the creative process of the author, his intention and his aims. Particularly, to find his thoughts about the receipt of the detective novel in his readers. The Model Reader theory helps to guess the type of reader that the author conceived. The Theory of Possible Worlds lets consider the perspectives of the characters in order to get the expected surprise in resolving the mystery. We also pay special attention to the storyteller and the focalisation. To conclude, we determine the own characteristics of G.K. Chesterton with his genuine contribution to the detective novel world, especially about the crime, the detetive and the investigation proces
Therese Mitchell: Photographs of New York in the 1930\u27s and 40\u27s, Illuminated by the Writing of Joseph Mitchell
No full textCurated by Nora Mitchell Sanborn. Sponsored by The G.K. Chesterton Institute for Faith and Culture with generous support from The Earhart Foundation. Produced in concert with the one day symposium Joseph Mitchell and the Free Life,” Sunday, May 13th, 2006 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Perhaps no 20th - century writer has captured the life of everyday and out-of-the way New York City as did Joseph Mitchell. In the dozens of stories he filed with the New Yorker from 1938 to 1964, Joe Mitchell - a native of North Carolina - managed to capture the city’s soul from the Bowery and South Street to North Gowanus and Sandy Ground. Many of those stories were published in four collections, the first in 1943 and the latest in 1965, but as they went out of print, Joe Mitchell’s writings became a secret too well kept. Fortunately, thanks to their 1992 republication between the covers of one book, Up in the Old Hotel and the 1996 re-issue of Joe Gould’s Secret and the release of the movie of the same name in 2000, Joe Mitchell’s stories are no longer a secret.
But another of Joe Mitchell’s secrets is only now being uncovered. During the 1930’s and 40’s, while Joe captured the city in writing, his wife, Therese, captured many of the same places on film. Not long ago, the Mitchells’ daughter, Nora, found her mother’s negatives and developed them using her mother’s photographic equipment. Prints from those negatives are now on exhibit here for the public to discover.
Therese Mitchell’s photographs capture the human moments of the city’s life, some long since vanished, others still familiar: a man writing the day’s menu on the glass of a restaurant window; a wig workers’ labor demonstration; workmen eating their lunch under a torn poster advertising Heinz soup; striking Ohrbach’s department store employees; people trying to survive hard times. In the immediacy of the images and their focus on the humanity of their subjects, Therese Mitchell’s photographs mirror the written images in Joe Mitchell’s stories.https://scholarship.shu.edu/past-exhibits-2006/1004/thumbnail.jp

Trzy oblicza własności. O roli własności prywatnej w systemie społeczno-ekonomicznym na podstawie twórczości H. Belloca oraz G.K. Chestertona
No full textThe institution of property is undeniably one of the most important elements of every social and economic system. It affects every human being, playing a vital role in everyday life of the whole human race. Nevertheless, its origin and true meaning is not always treated with due attention, which sometimes leads to practical errors and improper application of this essential idea in human societies. The article concerns the true importance of private property, based on works by two British writers of the early 20th century, H. Belloc and G.K. Chesterton. The author describes the economic freedom attached to private property and shows it as a condition necessary for maintaining basic human dignity. Then he presents two of the most common errors concerning perception and application of property – the limitation of its positive effects in capitalism and the futile attempt of its abolition in socialism.Instytucja własności stanowi jeden z najistotniejszych składników każdego systemu społecznego i ekonomicznego, ponieważ oddziałuje bezpośrednio na życie każdego człowieka, będąc praktycznym elementem zwykłej codzienności. Nie zawsze jednak poświęca się jej genezie należytą uwagę, a w toku dziejów nie brakowało rozmaitych błędnych poglądów przeinaczających właściwe znaczenie owego podstawowego urządzenia społecznego. W niniejszym artykule została podjęta próba zaprezentowania elementarnej wartości własności prywatnej w oparciu o twórczość dwóch brytyjskich pisarzy początku XX w. – H. Belloca i G.K. Chestertona. Autor zwraca uwagę na wynikającą z posiadania wolność ekonomiczną oraz ukazuje własność prywatną jako warunek konieczny szeroko pojętej godności człowieka. Następnie opisuje podstawowe błędy, jakie pojawiły się w historii ludzkości w związku z niewłaściwym postrzeganiem i używaniem opisywanej instytucji: ograniczenie oddziaływania własności w warunkach ustroju kapitalistycznego oraz próby zniesienia własności prywatnej w socjalizmie
Aesop's Fables
No full textHere is a copy of the 1969 An old Library of Congress book that was never taken out once and so is in excellent condition. Vastly superior in its illustrations to the Avenel facsimile (1975?). This is not a facsimile, for it omits the illustration of the blackamoor being scrubbed to death! Otherwise it fully represents the 1912 original except for its sturdy simple covers and binding. I will keep the dust-jacketed extra in the collection. How can a book be an edition of 1967 and have a first-publication date of 1968?This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)V.S. Vernon Jone

Hardware Components for Real-Time Stereo Matching: Acceleration of 3D HD TV with FPGAs
No full textIn recent 3D TV market, the technologies addressing to the applications such as stereoscopic depth scaling, glass-free 3D display, and Free Viewpoint TV are getting more attentions. A low-cost solution that can synthesize intermediate views from stereoscopic input contents(left and right camera views) is strongly needed. To render the interpolated views, the depth information of the left and right views are commonly-used in view synthesis algorithm. Therefore, this thesis researches stereo matching algorithms, which generate disparity maps. We implement a state-of-the-art semi-global stereo matching algorithm(dynamic programming and cross based) with FPGA. Our solution also concerns several aspects include disparity map/sequences quality, hardware cost, and real-time performance. Afterward the stereo matching engine design is integrated into IMEC's 3D TV SoC prototype. Several peripheral components, include color space converters, video I/O adaptors and a dedicated memory hierarchy, are developed for supporting both stereo matching and view synthesis engines. Finally, the SoC prototype is evaluated with EP3SL150 FPGA chip. So far it can process dual channel XGA video format (1024x768 @ 60 FPS) in real-time performance and render an acceptable synthesized view quality for depth scaling application. This design shows a promising solution for the 3D TV market.Embedded SystemsComputer EngineeringElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
