The concept of remembrance in Walter Benjamin
No full textThis thesis argues that the role played by the concept of remembrance (Eingedenken)
in Walter Benjamin's 'theory of the knowledge of history' and in his engagement with
Enlightenment universal history, is a crucial one. The implications of Benjamin's
contention that history's 'original vocation' is 'remembrance' have hitherto gone
largely unnoticed. The following thesis explores the meaning of the concept of
remembrance and assesses the significance of this proposed link between history and
memory, looking at both the mnemonic aspect of history and the historical facets of
memory. It argues that by mobilising the simultaneously destructive and constructive
capacities of remembrance, Benjamin sought to develop a critical historiography
which would enable a radical encounter with a previously suppressed past. In so doing
he takes up a stance (explicit and implicit) towards existing philosophical conceptions
of history, in particular the idea of universal history found in German Idealism.
Benjamin reveals an intention to retain the epistemological aspirations of universal
history whilst ridding that approach of its apologetic moment. He criticises existing
conceptions of history on the basis that each assumes homogeneous time to be the
framework in which historical events occur. Insight into the distinctive temporality of
remembrance proves to be the touchstone for this critique, and provides a paradigm
for a very different conception of time. The thesis goes on to determine what is valid
and what is problematic both in this concept of remembrance and in the theory of
historical knowledge which it informs, by subjecting both to the most cogent
criticisms which can be levelled at them. What emerges is not only the importance of
this concept for an understanding of Benjamin's philosophy but the pertinence of this
concept for any philosophical account of memory
The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy
No full textPhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist
angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H.
Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods
and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of
and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the
form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the
modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction
with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin,
this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a
modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European
and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens,
Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the
angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate
Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is
distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist
angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine
responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being,
specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of
intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the
Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or
evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and
suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous
limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature
Spectroscopic factors near the r-process path using combined measurements: ⁸⁶Kr(d,p)⁸⁷Kr and ⁸⁴Se(d,p)⁸⁵Se
No full textModern nuclear structure models suggest that the shell structure near the valley of stability, with well-established shell closures at N=50, for example, changes in very neutron-rich nuclei far from stability. Single-particle properties of nuclei away from stability can be probed in single-neutron (d,p) transfer reactions with beams of rare isotopes. The interpretation of these data requires reaction theories with various effective interactions. Often, approximations made to the final neutron bound-state introduce a large uncertainty in the extracted spectroscopic factor. To mitigate this uncertainty, Mukhamedzhanov and Nunes have proposed a combined, two-measurement method, where the external contribution of this bound-state wave function is fixed using a peripheral reaction, and is combined with a higher energy measurement with a larger contribution from the nuclear interior. By constraining the asymptotic behavior, the method enables spectroscopic factors to be deduced with uncertainties dominated by experimental statistics rather than the bound-state potential.The (d,p) neutron transfer reaction with 35 MeV/u beams of 86Kr has been measured at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL) to test this method. The reaction protons were detected with the Oak Ridge Rutgers University Barrel Array (ORRUBA) and Silicon Detector Array (SIDAR), arrays of segmented silicon strip detectors, the first implementation of such a configuration with fast beams at the NSCL. These measurements at 35 MeV/u were combined with previous studies of the 86Kr(d,p) reaction at 5.5 MeV/u to test the combined method. The bound-state potential for the ground state of 87Kr was successfully constrained by extracting an asymptotic normalization coefficient (ANC) consistent with both the high- and low-energy measurements, which provides a corresponding constrained spectroscopic factor of S=0.44+0.09-0.13 for the ground state of 87Kr.Although a constrained bound-state potential for other low-lying states was not achieved, the successful results for the ground state prompted a study of the d(84Se,p)85Se reaction. The low-energy ANC analysis based on previously published results is presented in this work as well as preliminary results from the higher energy measurement using radioactive ion beams of 84Se at 45 MeV/u at the NSCL.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical referencesby David Walte
