HENRY JAMES’ VIEW ABOUT AMERICAN CULTURE AS REPRESENTED BY DAISY MILLER IN DAISY MILLER (GENETIC STRUCTURALISM APPROACH)
No full textABSTRACT
Daisy Miller is one of James’ novels that talks about cultural gap. There
are many cultural conflicts between American and European. The researcher had
formulated three problem statements as follows: (1) How are the cultural
differences in Daisy Miller? (2) How does the society in Daisy Miller view
Daisy Miller? (3) How does Henry James view American culture as
represented by Daisy Miller in Daisy Miller?
In order to answer the questions, the researcher used genetic structuralism
approach by Lucien Goldman to analyze Daisy Miller, because genetic
structuralism is used to find the world view of the author toward his novel. There
are three aspects to be correlated in genetic structuralism, i.e. the novel itself,
biography of the author, the social condition when the novel was created. The
researcher also had to find the previous novel and novel after Daisy Miller which
have the same theme and correlated them with Daisy Miller. By the combination
of the aspects above, the researcher could find Henry James’ view about
American culture as represented by Daisy Miller in Daisy Miller.
There were three findings in this research: First, the researcher found that
there are cultural differences between America and Europe. In Daisy Miller Henry
James presents the Americans who had settled in Europe lived in a luxurious life.
It can be seen from their life style. They stayed from one hotel to another and they
liked to hold parties. The Millers family brought a private tutor to teach Randolph,
Daisy’s brother. It was very expensive to bring a private tutor from America to
Europe; but James presents the society to show that it was a rich and high-class
society. Daisy Miller was a visitor in Europe. She brought the pure American
culture. The conflict appeared when she was considered to break the rules in
Europe such as walking in the night with a man.
Second, the researcher identified the view of society to Daisy Miller. The
characters in Daisy Miller were: (1) Frederick Winterbourne. He was a young
American who had lived and schooled in Geneva. He sometimes judged Daisy as
a good girl, but in other time he considered her as a bad girl. (2) Mrs. Costello.
She is American but with European air. She looked down the Millers family
because of their new money, unsophisticated conduct, and intimacy with their
courier. (3) Mrs. Walker. She exemplified the values of the formal American but
with European air similar to Mrs. Costello. (4) He was an Italian man. He
considered Daisy just as natural and innocent girl. (5) Mrs. Miller. She was
Daisy’s mother. She was the opposite of a higher class European mother, because
she allowed her daughter to do as she liked.
Third, the researcher found that Henry James presents Daisy Miller as the
representation of American culture. Daisy’s characteristics are: (1) Freedom. (2)
Naturalness. (3) Innocence. (4) Purity. Henry James takes the American culture a
little higher than European culture. He also considers that two different cultures
can live together in one community comfortably as long as the member of society
respects each other

Queen Elizabeth II should be the final Head of the Commonwealth
No full textLurking not far beneath the surface of the current celebrations of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is a nagging
anxiety: what happens next? Nowhere is this more acute than in Commonwealth circles. The future of the headship
of the Commonwealth, a role the Queen has played with such dedication, is in doubt. Should it pass to her heir,
Prince Charles? Dig a little deeper and you soon encounter off-the-record expressions of doubt about Charles’s
suitability. Amid the rather awkward and embarrassed murmurings that pass for debate on this issue, the cases for
and against Charles inheriting the headship have barely been explored or discussed. Set out systematically, both
sets of arguments are powerful and both deserve to be taken seriously. Ultimately, however, we conclude that the
interests of the Commonwealth would be best served if the post of Head of the Commonwealth ceased to exist at
the end of Her Majesty’s reign

Development of new correlation experiments in high resolution NMR using a spatial frequency encoding of the sample
No full textLa plupart des développements qui ont été effectués ces dernières années dans le domaine de la RMN rapide ont permis d’accélérer considérablement l’acquisition des expériences multidimensionnelles. Cependant, dans le cas de l’étude des interactions proton-proton, qui constituent des sondes structurales précieuses des molécules, l’ensemble du processus analytique demeure une tâche difficile et longue pour les chimistes. Une raison est la complexité et la quantité des informations rendues disponibles qui contribue au profil spectral global, même dans le cas de molécules de petites et moyennes tailles. En l’état de l’art actuel, il était difficile d’optimiser simultanément la résolution des spectres de corrélations et la durée d’analyse nécessaires pour les acquérir et les exploiter. Ce projet de thèse avait pour but de développer une approche RMN nouvelle et générale basée sur un encodage spatial fréquentiel de l’échantillon afin de simplifier et d’accélérer l’étude de molécules plus ou moins complexes. L’encodage spatial fréquentiel permet de contrôler sélectivement les évolutions de spins dans des régions localisées de l’échantillon et de les combiner dans des spectres RMN haute résolution dans lesquels le contenu analytique est aisément accessible. Dans une première partie, la théorie de l’encodage spatial en fréquence est présentée. Une méthode de simulation du signal RMN encodé est présentée, puis utilisée pour décrire la localisation du processus d’excitation sélective d’un système de spin modèle, en allant de l’analyse d’une cohérence unique vers la reconstruction du spectre encodé à travers le tube RMN. En parallèle, l’influence du champ magnétique sur la largeur de coupe et de sensibilité de ce type d’expériences est également étudiée grâce à cet outil de simulation. Dans une deuxième partie, deux développements méthodologiques sont présentés. Tout d’abord, l’expérience PCR-COSY donne accès, en un seul spectre, à la mesure totalement éditée et attribuable des couplages scalaires proton-proton pour une molécule donnée. Ensuite, l’expérience push-G-SERF permet de mesurer l’ensemble des couplages impliquant un proton sélectionné à partir d’un spectre présentant des signaux J-résolus dans la dimension indirecte et -résolus dans la dimension directe du spectre. Dans une troisième partie, les expériences basées sur un encodage spatial de l’échantillon sont appliquées à l’analyse conformationnelle d’un saccharide synthétique. Tout d’abord, les avantages et inconvénients de la mise en œuvre des techniques d’encodage spatial en fréquence à très haut champ sont discutés. Enfin, une stratégie d’analyse conformationnelle basée sur la spectroscopie J-éditée est présentée et appliquée avec succès à l’étude de cet oligosaccharide.Most of the developments that have been made during the last years in the field of fast NMR have allowed for considerably accelerating the acquisition of multidimensional experiments. However, the analysis of proton-proton spin interactions, which are very important structural probes in molecules, still constitutes a tedious and time-consuming analytical process for most of the chemists. One reason is the complexity and the high number of homonuclear couplings that contribute to the overall lineshape in proton spectra, even for small or medium-sized compounds. It is thus nowadays very difficult to optimize both the resolution of correlation spectra, and the experimental time needed to acquire them, using state of the art high resolution methods. This thesis project aimed at developing a novel and general approach based on a spatial frequency encoding of the NMR sample in order to simplify and thus to accelerate the analysis of complex molecular systems. Spatial frequency encoding consists in controlling selectively spin evolutions in localized regions of the sample, and in combining them into high resolution experiments whose analytical content is easily accessible. In a first part, the theory of spatial frequency encoding is presented. A general method for simulating the encoded NMR signal is introduced, and it is applied to describe the localized selective excitation process of a model spin system, from the analysis of a single spin coherence, to the reconstruction of the whole NMR spectrum encoded throughout the sample. The magnetic field dependence of the slice selection process, as well as the overall sensitivity is also addressed through this simulation tool. In a second part, two methodological developments are presented. Firstly, the PCR-COSY experiment gives access, in a single spectrum, to a fully edited and assignable measurement of all the proton-proton scalar couplings in a given molecule. Secondly, the push-G-SERF experiment allows for measuring all the couplings involving a selected proton on correlations showing a J-resolved and a -resolved structure in the indirect and direct domain of the resulting 2D spectrum, respectively. In a third part, high-resolution experiments based on a spatial frequency encoding of the sample are applied to the conformational analysis of a synthetic saccharide. First, advantages and drawbacks of an implementation of spatial frequency encoded techniques at very high field are discussed. Then, a conformational analysis strategy based on J-edited spectroscopy is introduced, and successfully applied to the study of this oligosaccharide
