Extensions of Morley\u27s theorem
No full textA review of the literature since 1899 when Morley offered his original hypothesis. Various authors have given proofs of the theorem, shown the existence of 27 such triangles, and established relationships to other mathematical concepts: isogonal conjugates, Lemoine point, Hessian points and axis, circles of Apollonius, Brianchon hexagons. The author explores the various intersections of the n-sectors of the angles of a general triangle, showing, incidentally, the uniqueness of the Morley equilateral triangle. Turning to the quadrilateral, the intersections of the tri-sectors of: the angles of a parallelogram, rectangle, trapezoid, and kite-shaped quadrilateral are examined, as well as those of the n-sectors. An important by-product of the author\u27s investigation of the p-sided polygon confirms the uniqueness of the equilateral triangle of Morley\u27s theorem. The author concludes with a discussion of the associated isogonal attributes and thoughts for further study

Helena Morley: personagem plural
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2013.O presente trabalho propõe uma leitura da personagem Helena Morley, da obra literária Minha Vida de Menina, e de suas características tão marcantes a uma personagem feminina do século XIX. O diário da garota, escrito durante os anos de 1893 a 1895, abre discussões sobre a escrita feminina numa época em que a mulher não tinha acesso à educação, porém muitas escreviam e apresentavam bastante senso crítico. Por se tratar de uma menina à frente de seu tempo, que ao contrário da maioria das mulheres, fala o que pensa, critica o que não considera correto, a obra despertou o interesse da cineasta Helena Solberg, que em 2004, produziu a adaptação Vida de Menina. Ao falar em adaptação, muitas são as discussões levantadas. Virginia Woolf critica a adaptação, pois a considera inferior à obra literária, já Robert Stam afirma que mesmo estando abaixo da Literatura, por se tratar de uma questão cronológica, a adaptação sempre trará benefícios ao livro, entre eles, irá complementá-lo, fazendo com que fique mais conhecido entre os espectadores/leitores. O motivo de a obra ser escrita por uma mulher e do filme produzido por cineastas (também mulheres), a questão do feminismo é abordada, na qual haverá o questionamento se houve intenção feminista em ambas as obras, ou se a questão da autoria foi motivo para tal classificação. No entanto, no decorrer da obra, percebe-se a fraqueza do homem diante de algumas mulheres; a mulher que tem opiniões e vontades; a ausência de um vilão e de um protagonista que luta para que tudo termine bem, diferenciando Vida de Menina do cinema tradicional. Abstract : The present research proposes a reading of the character Helena Morley, the literary work of Minha Vida de Menina, and its salient features a female character of the nineteenth century. The girl's diary, written during the years 1893 to 1895, open discussions on women's writing in a time when women did not have access to education, but many wrote and introduced very critical sense. Because it is a girl ahead of its time, that unlike most women, speaks her mind, criticizes what she does not consider correct, the work attracted the interest of filmmaker Helena Solberg, who in 2004 produced the adaptation Vida de Menina. Speaking at adapting many discussions are raised. Virginia Woolf criticizes the adaptation because it considers inferior to literary work, as Robert Stam argues that even if below the literature, because it is a chronological issue, adapting always bring benefits to the book, among them, will complement it by making to make it better known to viewers / readers. The reason for the work to be written by a woman and the movie produced by filmmakers (also women), the issue of feminism is discussed, in which there was no intention to question whether feminist in both works, or if the question of authorship was reason for such classification. However, throughout the work, realizes the weakness of man before some women, the woman who has opinions and wants, the absence of a villain and a protagonist who struggles to finish everything well, differentiating Vida de Menina of the traditional cinema
The Cambridge companion to creative writing [Edited book]
No full textCreative writing has become a highly professionalised academic discipline, with popular courses and prestigious degree programmes worldwide. This book is a must for all students and teachers of creative writing, indeed for anyone who aspires to be a published writer. It engages with a complex art in an accessible manner, addressing concepts important to the rapidly growing field of creative writing, while maintaining a strong craft emphasis, analysing exemplary models of writing and providing related writing exercises. Written by professional writers and teachers of writing, the chapters deal with specific genres or forms – ranging from the novel to new media – or with significant topics that explore the cutting edge state of creative writing internationally (including creative writing and science, contemporary publishing and new workshop approaches)
The Anadyomene Movement: metamorphics of figure-ground
No full text‘Figure-ground’ is about the production of meaning based on the perception of contrasts or binary oppositions and segregations. Viewers of my paintings, and of the kind of paintings that interest me, have the impression that the ‘figure’ subsides or slips or fades into ‘ground’, or that the ‘ground’ is more powerful or dominant than the ‘figure’, or that the ‘figure’ is insecurely attached, suggesting it is incapable, unwilling, too acquiescent or complicit to fully differentiate itself from the ‘ground’. I address flux, mutation, indistinctness and complementarity within the visual field of painting. I develop and extend the heuristic context for the interpretation of my studio practice and for work of a similar kind, and then feedback this new context into my practice in order to generate new works, also in the process shedding a new light on my interpretative models. Beyond this, I also make a more general argument for the re alignment of the relationship between art theory and practice - one that can better incorporate a sense of in between-ness, indistinctness or liminality. My approach is comparative: I look at East Asian art and ideas and, in particular, deploy the writings of the French Sinologist and philosopher François Jullien, in whose work there is the attempt to expand Western epistemology, ontology, semantics and aesthetics via a discussion of Chinese thought and aesthetics. Jullien proposes a paradigm that draws the ‘in-out’ respiratory rhythm or pulse within the perceptual field towards the centre of a theory of representation, a theory that seeks to account for consciousness from the ‘inside’ rather than the ‘outside’. The consequence of this relocation of agency is an interpretative framework that is firmly grounded in a nondualistic and holistic approach, foregrounding affect and empathetic relationships between artist and work, viewer and work, and self and the world. Traditional East Asian thought begins with similar premises to poststructuralism in the West: the ‘self’ is an illusion and the possibility of knowledge of reality independent of thought is dismissed as untenable because there is no objective reality accessible to us. Everything depends on the bias of the mind, rather than on anything we can identify as an innate attribute of reality itself, thus there is no escape from our lived experience, and we are profoundly limited by the interpretive knowledge of our mind; we are trapped within the ‘prison house of language’. But within the different recursive orientations that characterize ‘East’ and ‘West’ the interpretation and consequences of these insights are understood in quite different ways. I explore why this should be the case and what some of the consequences are, both theoretically through the written text and performatively through my studio work
Quanta e quale Europa nei media
No full textIl capitolo ha lo scopo di determinare quanto spazio la stampa italiana dedichi all’Unione Europea, e all’Europa in generale, e in quali modi queste vengono rappresentate: di quali istituzioni si parla e in che termini, le rappresentazioni che emergono sono favorevoli o contrarie al processo di integrazione, quali altri aspetti relativi all’Europa vengono messi in primo piano? Per rispondere a queste domande verrà utilizzato un corpus elettronico di articoli di giornale raccolti in due fasi, nel 2007 e nel 2009, in entrambi i casi nei tre mesi compresi tra febbraio e aprile, in modo da coincidere con il periodo di raccolta dei dati delle altre indagini nell’ambito del progetto IntUn
