Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden
No full textThis essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

La place de saint Martin dans le monachisme anglo-saxon
No full textCette communication étudie le culte anglo-saxon de saint Martin et l'influence du modèle martinien sur le monachisme anglais du haut Moyen Âge. La Vita Martini de Sulpice Sévère a été connue en Angleterre et en Irlande à partir d'une date très précoce et a inspiré certains des plus anciens textes insulaires, fournissant un modèle pour les hagiographes locaux qui ont composé des vies de saints insulaires. Cette communication se concentrera sur le culte plus tardif de saint Martin et sa vénération au xe siècle, quand apparaissent les premières traductions vernaculaires de sa Vie. On considérera l'image de Martin façonnée par les auteurs anglais écrivant sur l'arrière-plan de la réforme bénédictine et on examinera comment son portrait en tant que missionnaire, moine et évêque a été manipulé de manière à rejoindre les exigences idéologiques du monachisme anglo-saxon tardif.This paper examines the Anglo-Saxon cult of St Martin and the influence of the Martinian model upon early English monasticism. Sulpicius Severus’s Vita Martini was known in England and Ireland from an early date and inspired some of the earliest insular compositions, providing a model for local hagiographers composing Lives of native saints. This paper focuses upon the later cult of St Martin and his veneration in the tenth century, when the first vernacular translations of his Life appear. It considers the image of Martin moulded by English authors writing against the backdrop of the Benedictine reform and examines how his portrayal as a missionary, monk and bishop was manipulated so as to meet the ideological demands of late Anglo-Saxon monasticism
Experiences Using Large Scale Video Walls for Distance Education
No full textWe describe our experiences building and using the Rutgers Videowall, a low-cost telepresence system that has been used teaching 15 courses and colloquia. By relaxing typical spatial telepresence features, such as background continuity, we greatly reduced costs and gained flexibility in the rooms it could be deployed in. The lower costs and room flexibility enabled academic departments to use the wall, in contrast to traditional telepresence systems which remained inaccessible. We found that the Videowall’s spatial distortions did not have a significant impact on useability, as our initial survey results show that students had an overall positive experience.Technical report DCS-tr-72
