The silence of the forest : a translation from French to English with analysis and literature review
No full textThe Central African Republic is a small country located in the center of Africa. It is a very young nation in terms of political independence, but as the CAR emerges as a nation, it has begun to produce valuable authors who write for the French speaking world. This thesis is an attempt to bring part of the CAR's literature to the United States.Le Silence de la Foret was written by Etienne Goyemide and not only describes the culture of the mainstream population of the CAR, but also that of Pygmies. Although the book is a novel, the cultural aspects are not fictitious. This thesis is a translation of Goyemide's novel into English so that it can be made accessible to the English speaking world.The process of translating such a literary work required and increased knowledge and understanding of both French and English. In attempting to capture the style and tone of the author, careful attention was given to such aspects as tense, syntactic structures, register and vocabulary. A chapter of the thesis is devoted to describing the problems encountered during translation and the reasoning for the translations chosen.Thesis (M.A.)Department of Englis

No full textThis study details the personal experience of a machine gun officer commanding the 107th Machine Gun Battalion during the attack of the 28th Division. The author reveals that the principle of mass applies to the use of machine guns in the attack, and that close cooperation with supported units is important (rather than simply equipping smaller units with machine guns) to insure control and fire on the proper target.

Place tectonics in Austral/Asia: hybridity and identity drift in southeast Australian women's literature
No full textThis thesis looks at the various ways in which fiction and poetry by Southeast Asian Australian women authors have contributed to reorienting the Australian literary canon and challenging how Australia perceives itself and the Southeast Asian region more specifically. Drawing from the academic writings of Asian Australian scholars on the subject, as well as from postcolonial studies, I seek to demonstrate how these authors articulate what Homi Bhabha calls the 'third space' of hybridity through deconstructing lingering historical binaries across linguistic, racialised gendered, class-based and aesthetic lines. The first chapter focuses on language and Filipina Australian author Merlinda Bobis' bilingual poetry. I argue how her poetry provides a framework for (re)thinking multilingualism in Australia. In chapter 2, I analyse the fiction of Simone Lazaroo and Hsu-Ming Teo and the way these two authors playfully draw but also depart from, and ultimately subvert, traditional Orientalist tales of Asia in/by the West, imbuing the signifier of 'Asianness' with new meanings. In chapter 3, I look at the strategic use of magical realism in Beth Yahp's, Hoa Pham's and Lau Siew Mei's fiction as a means through which these authors are able to recover Southeast Asian mythology and folklore while also functioning as a social critique of Western imperialism. In the final analysis, I examine how Southeast Asian Australian women's literature, while retaining a concern for cultural representation in the Australian context, has increasingly moved beyond the precincts of the diasporic to address worldly issues and experiment with the abstract of style, thereby raising a fundamental question: Is literature, and in particular 'ethnic' literature, just about place

Marketing communication strategy of small and medium enterprises in tourism in the Pardubice Region
No full textPředložená disertační práce řeší vybranou problematiku managementu malých a středních podniků, které působí v oblasti cestovního ruchu v Pardubickém kraji. Autorka se zabývá otázkou, zda prokazatelně nízká úroveň spotřeby služeb tohoto odvětví ekonomiky souvisí s marketingovou komunikací podniků, které v něm působí. Současně navrhuje strategii vedoucí ke zlepšení, ne jenom na úrovni podnikové. Disertační práce obsahuje podrobný popis výzkumné metody a její praktickou aplikaci. Empirická část uvádí výsledky analýzy marketingové komunikace strany poptávky a strany nabídky. Na základě vlastního výzkumu byla vypracována SWOT analýza, ze které vychází návrh Strategie marketingové komunikace malých a středních podniků Pardubického kraje v oblasti cestovního ruchu.The present dissertation solves the selected management issues of small and medium enterprises working in tourism in the Pardubice Region. The author deals with the question whether the demonstrably low level of service consumption of this sector economy is connected with the marketing communication of the enterprises operating in this field. At the same time, she suggests a strategy leading to the improvement both at the company level and at the public administration level. The dissertation contains a detailed description of the research method and its practical application. The empirical part presents the results of the marketing communication analysis of the demand and supply side. On the basis of the own research, a SWOT analysis, which the proposal of the Marketing Communication Strategy of Small and Medium Enterprises in Tourism in the Pardubice Region proceeds from, has been worked out.Ústav podnikové ekonomiky a managementuDisertační práce přináší zejména pro další rozvoj cestovního ruchu v Pardubickém kraji podnětné a konkrétní praktické návrhy, včetně vlastní strategie marketingové komunikace malých a středních podniků Pardubického kraje v oblasti cestovního ruchu. Na výsledky obou kvantitativních výzkumů autorka navázala kvalitativními postupy. Vlastní výzkum byl realizován ve dvou etapách, výběr zahrnuje 900 respondentů. V práci jsou uvedena konkrétní opatření a práci lze považovat za přínosnou pro praktickou i pedagogickou oblast.
Určitým nedostatkem disertační práce je zjednodušení základu vědeckého poznání v řešené oblasti, které se odráží např. v tom, že metody použité v praktické části nejsou v teoretickém základu dostatečně popsány. V rámci cestoního ruchu byly jako základní soubor vymezeny pro emnpirický výzkum pouze ekonomické subjekty zaměřené na ubytování a stravování, což bylo disertantkou zdůvodněno.
Na základě předložených posudků oponentů disertační práce byly v rámci obhajoby disertační práce zodpovězeny v nich obsažené otázky, a to tak, že oponenti považovali odpovědi za správné a dostatečně upřesňující.Dokončená práce s úspěšnou obhajobo
