Différentes sources d’inspiration dans l’oeuvre romanesque d’Ananda Devi
No full textIn the article the author analyses various sources of inspiration noticeable in the works of Ananda Devi. Considering the writer’s background, her native island of Mauritius, a multi-ethnic multi-lingual and multi-cultural island, various cultural inspirations are noticeable in her works. The author of this article focuses on the novelist’s prose and analyses the cultural references rooted in Indian, European, African and Creole cultures. The aim of this analysis is also to describe the intertextual relations that exist between some of Ananda Devi’s texts and the works of Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Arthur Rimbaud or Malcolm de Chazal, T. S. Eliot, Toni Morrison and J. M. Coetzee. In the analysis, the author draws on the research of Homi Bhabha and Gérard Genette.In the article the author analyses various sources of inspiration noticeable in the works of Ananda Devi.

Address of Malathy Devi and Benner: Physics Depeartment, College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, Virgiania, 23185.Author Institution:A series of high-resolution spectra of pure ozone have been recorded at room temperature using the Fourier transform spectrometer at the National Solar Observatory on Kitt Peak. Each spectrum covers the entire region from to and has a signal-to-noise ratio of at least 150:1.

Courtois, JQRST 54, 1009-1018(1995).Author Institution: Atmospheric Sciences Division, NASA Langley Research Center; Department of Physics, The College of William and MaryWe have extended our previous analysis of high-resolution absorption spectra of to determine absolute intensities of nearly 200 lines in the 9-11 region. The spectra were recorded at room temperature using the Fourier transform spectrometer at the McMath-Pierce facility of the National Solar Observatory at Kitt Peak, covering the region at resolution. The ozone samples were contained in a glass cell having crossed IR-transmitting and UV-transmitting paths approximately 10 cm in each direction. A 254 nm UV-absorption monitor of the same design as Pickett was used to measure the ozone partial pressures, which were kept at approximately 0.3 to 0.5 Torr to prevent the appearance of saturated lines. Only spectra for which the ozone partial pressure varied by during the recording time were selected for analysis. Using our multispectrum nonlinear least-squares we have fit four spectra simultaneously to determine intensities for numerous lines in both the P and R branches of the fundamental band and several lines in the band. On average, our measured intensities are only 1% larger than the values on the current HITRAN . Our measurement set includes 44 lines in common with other recent experimental Comparison of these various measurements shows excellent agreement for a few lines and adequate agreement (considering all possible sources of uncertainty and systematic errors) for the others

The spectra were recorded at room temperature, covering the region from approximately to at a resolution of . Broadening gas pressures varied from approximately 100 to 400 Torr. From these spectra we have determined pressure broadening and line shift coefficients for over 200 lines in the and 3 bands. The halfwidth values obtained in these bands are similar to those obtained in the and bands, indicating that there is little vibrational dependence of the Lorentz broadening coefficient for ozone broadened by air, or . However, the pressure line induced line shifts determined in the 3-m bands are larger than those observed in the m and m

(in press).Author Institution:Perpendicular bands of several symmetric and near symmetric top molecules like , etc., have been studied using a tunable diode laser spectrometer in the region. The limited tunability of the diode laser is compensated by its high resolution and sensitivity so that from the analysis of the Q branches alone precise band centers and rotational constants could be determined. It is known from microwave studies that has a large nuclear quadrupole coupling constant. The nuclear spin (I) of of iodine combines with J and splits the rotational levels into 2I + 1 = 6 components for J. Selection rules show that for J line of the band is split into several components which should be resolved under Doppler-limited resolution. Such splittings were seen in the spectrum of The effect of diode laser line width on the observed spectrum will also be discussed. In the case of the presence of a single D atom removes the degeneracy of in and splits it into and , Although the asymmetry is extremely small (x = -0.9983), spectacular asymmetry effects were observed in the band for and 3. A sixth order Watson reduced Hamiltonian was used to explain these effects. In , the electron spin couples with the rotational angular momentum J of the molecule and splits it into two components Such, splittings have been observed in the band spectrum of from which accurate spin-rotation interaction constants have been $determined.^{2}

Using our multispectrum technique, we fit over 30 spectra simultaneously to determine self-broadening and shift coefficients and air-broadening and shift coefficients and their temperature dependences for lines belonging to the band centered near . In addition, we were able to determine broadening and shift parameters for some lines belonging to hot bands and isotopic bands. The results will be compared with our previous measurements in the and in the and with other measurements available in the literature
Ananda Devi, une poétique de la transgression
No full textThe aim of the article is to reflect on the phenomenon of transgression ubiquitous in Ananda Devi’s work. From her first novels to her most recent ones, the writer constantly constructs characters who undertake transgressions. This applies equally to female and male characters. Nevertheless, the reader is likely to have a different evaluation of the negative behaviour of men towards women, who break established rules as part of their rebellion against the dictates of the patriarchy, often transforming themselves from victim to executioner. The aim of the analysis is to describe the various forms of transgression, from the most trivial to the most severe. Examining this issue, the author of the article draws on the work of G. Bataille and M. Foucault.Dans le présent texte, l’auteure se penche sur le phénomène de la transgression omniprésente dans l’œuvre romanesque d’Ananda Devi. À partir de ses premiers romans jusqu’au dernier, l’écrivaine présente les personnages commettant une transgression. Cela concerne ses personnages féminins et masculins. Cependant, le lecteur évalue plutôt différemment le comportement des héros deviens par rapport à celui de ses héroïnes qui en général brisent des normes dans le cadre d’une révolte contre le diktat du patriarcat. Elles se transforment souvent de victime en bourreau L’objectif de cette analyse est de décrire différentes formes de transgressions, des plus légères aux plus graves. Dans son étude, l’auteure s’appuiera entre autres sur les travaux de G. Batailles et de M.
