Tra Est e Ovest. Poetiche del movimento nell’opera di Natascha Wodin
No full textMovement and mobility characterize the biographies and texts of many contemporary authors who were forced to leave their own homelands not only as a result of conflict, war, and repression, but also because of their free existential choices, thus triggering new dynamics that continuously enrich
the literary landscape. The work of the writers who paved the way for transcultural relations between East and West Europe is particularly interesting from the transareal perspective (Ottmar Ette) which refers to interconnected areas at an international, national, regional, and local level.
This is the context in which the novels of Natascha Wodin – award-winning author for "Sie kam aus Mariupol" (2017, She Came from Mariupol) –, are set. This article will analyse two novels by the author: "Nachtgeschwister" (2009), her tormented autobiographical story, which is also about her comings and goings in the city of Berlin, and "Irgendwo in diesem Dunkel" (2018), the dramatic story of a denied belonging to places and homes. The protagonists and narrators of the two works mentioned above move through and endeavour to take refuge in urban settings, represented by eastern and western places, often described as dark, hidden, and interstitial places. These wandering lives reveal how European history was marked by persecution, violence and dislocations, as well as the painful and hard-fought search for a new and vital freedom of movement, which is also characterized by personal challenge and the ethics of cohabitation
H.L.A. Hart: a hermenêutica como via de acesso para uma significação interdisciplinar do direito
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Ciencias JuridicasO presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar a teoria jurídica de Herbert Lionel Adolphus Hart, a partir de uma (re)leitura da Filosofia da Linguagem Ordinária (especialmente através de Ludwig Wittgenstein e John Lagshaw Austin) e da semiologia (através das categorias de Ferdinand de Saussure). Tal método deriva do fato de Hart realizar uma abordagem do direito a partir de uma perspectiva hermenêutica, privilegiando a função do intérprete (participante) do sistema e destacando o papel exercido pela linguagem na formação dos enunciados jurídicos. Ao mesmo tempo, ao reconhecer uma textura aberta do direito, este autor abre a ciência jurídica à possibilidade de uma abordagem interdisciplinar. Inicialmente realizamos uma leitura da obra de WITT-GENSTEIN, com especial atenção à segunda fase de sua obra, marcada pela publicação do livro Investigações Filosóficas, procurando uma compreensão da linguagem enquanto instrumento de intermediação na relação sujeito-sujeito. Em seguida apresentamos a "teoria dos atos de fala" de J.L. AUSTIN, a qual nos possibilitará responder a questão de como as palavras podem produzir efeitos jurídicos. O capítulo I contém ainda a exposição das principais categorias de SAUSSURE, objetivando explicitar a sua concepção dos signos lingüísticos e do processo de significação. Em seguida, no capítulo II, procuramos explicitar a concepção de Hart acerca do fenômeno da obrigação jurídica, enfocando o caráter hermenêutico da sua teoria jurídica e demonstrando a importância daquilo que este autor denomina o "ponto de vista interno" sobre as normas. O capítulo III destina-se a fornecer uma compreensão da estrutura global do sistema jurídico de HART, entendido como a união de normas primárias e secundárias e destacando o seu funcionamento. Realizamos ainda uma abordagem da textura aberta do direito, procurando enfatizar o caráter incompleto dos enunciados jurídicos e de que forma o direito operacionaliza esta questão. Ao final do trabalho, apresentamos uma síntese crítica do pensamento de Hart, objetivando levantar as questões que permanecem na sua obra e algumas das críticas que lhe são feitas
Spigolature linguistiche da Verga a Silvana Grasso
No full textIn this work, emphasis is placed on the need to frame Grasso's work between a writing tradition that has the Verga model as its watermark and her personal linguistic innovation. A comparative analysis of two texts is conducted: La Lupa by Giovanni Verga and Il bastardo di Mautàna by Silvana Grasso. The two works allow us to observe a stratified composition of the language, which for both authors enjoys references to the dialect drawn from a linguistic heritage mediated by literature and popular traditions, but in the case of Grasso also contains numerous autochthonisms, not present in Verga . Silvana Grasso takes up and exaggerates the key themes of Verga's work, but proposes a new writing, which takes the form of a recognizable style upon opening the book, thanks to the use of expressions and stylistic features that the author draws directly from her linguistic micro-area and which he is not afraid to use, unlike Verga, who prefers to hide dialect forms and lexemes, faithful to his poetics, and prefers a standard dialect mediated through literature. A lexical and morphosyntactic analysis is conducted in order to show how Grasso's language takes up and exaggerates the two tracks of the Verga language through an extreme use of aulicisms and the addition of dysphemisms
Onetti: a escritura como universo autoreferente
No full textDissertação (Mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoA narrativa de Juan Carlos Onetti constitui um importante momento, nas letras contemporâneas, de interiorização no mundo ficcional. Trata-se de um universo solipsista onde a escritura se sustenta da própria escritura, expondo a sua retórica constitutiva. Este trabalho mostra como na sistemática exposição do ritual da escritura e na auto-referencialidade da obra, está implícita uma reflexão teórica sobre a 1iteratura e sobre a condição do homem como um ser que se define pela sua lingüisticidade. Analisa o romance Dejemos hablar al viento, lido na sua instância de reflexão sobre a linguagem e a linguagem da ficçao. Os diferentes aspectos analisados tentam mostrar a dialética da produção em Onetti, que persegue a realização artística da idéia de que a distância que separa a palavra da coisa se tornou um espaço incomensurável de virtualidade discursiva, onde naufraga a experiência humana
Contact Lorentzian manifolds
No full textAbstractContact structures with associated pseudo-Riemannian metrics were studied by D. Perrone and the present author (2010) in [8]. We focus here on contact Lorentzian structures, emphasizing their relationship and analogies with respect to the Riemannian case
One Dimensional Computer Analysis of Simultaneous Consolidation and Creep of Clay
No full textThis dissertation describes the development and verification of a general purpose computer program, CONSOL97, for analysis of one dimensional consolidation of multi-layered soil profiles. The program uses an elasto-visco-plastic model that can simulate both consolidation and creep in a single consistent analysis. The finite element program uses standard oedometer test data to model stress-strain-time relationships, and the effect of strain rate on preconsolidation stress observed in the laboratory and in the field. Validation of the computer program by simulating standard oedometer tests is described and the applicability of the program in predicting field behavior is examined.
The oedometer test simulations indicate good agreement with stress-strain and strain-log time test results during loading. Unloading behavior produces excessive rebound. Well-instrumented field tests at Väsby, Sweden, Skå-Edeby, Sweden and Berthierville, Canada indicate that elasto-visco-plastic CONSOL97 analyses produce better predictions of field behavior than conventional elasto-plastic models. CONSOL97 results were in good agreement for the Väsby and Berthierville test fills but underestimated displacements and pore pressures near the center of the normally consolidated clay layer beneath the Skå-Edeby test fill.Ph.

The influence of perfectionism and goal orientation on athletes' error-related negativity
No full textFull text available to BSU users only.The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of perfectionism and goal
orientation on student-athletes’ error-related negativity. To better understand this relationship, 26
participants completed a flanker task while their neural data was recorded, with 21 participants
(17 female, 4 male) being included in final analyses. Initial Spearman rank correlations revealed
a moderately strong positive correlation between negative reaction to imperfection and ERN,
task orientation and ERN, and striving for perfection and ERN, in addition to a weak, negative
correlation between ego orientation and ERN. Bayesian Linear Regression revealed the
interaction of perfectionistic striving and ego orientation resulted in increased ERN, or error
monitoring. Essentially, as a student-athletes’ perfectionistic striving increases, as long as their
ego orientation is greater than zero and they are concerned with superiority and winning, their
ERN amplitude, or level of cognitive error monitoring, increases as well. Additionally, the
interaction of negative reaction to imperfection and ego orientation resulted in decreased ERN,
or less error monitoring. Thus, as a student athlete experiences increased negative reactions
following a mistake, provided their ego orientation is greater than zero, their ERN amplitude decreases, likely due to a loss of interest and motivation. Based on these results, the author
discusses theoretical and clinical implications, as well as avenues for future research.Ph. D
Bringing the story home: agitating for woman suffrage in New Jersey
No full textIn celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment (1920), granting women the right to vote, Rutgers Research Professor Emerita of History Ann D. Gordon gave a presentation, “Bringing the Story Home: Agitating for Woman Suffrage in New Jersey,” on Thursday, September 24, 2020 at 4 p.m.
Activists organizing for women to gain voting rights were everywhere across the United States, island territories included. The struggle to win the right to vote is a national story chock full of local details, highlights of which were explored in this presentation.
Ann D. Gordon is Research Professor Emerita of History at Rutgers University. She has studied the movement for woman suffrage for nearly four decades as an author, editor, and lecturer. Her six-volume edition of the Selected Papers of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony was published from 1997 to 2013. Toward celebrating woman suffrage at this centennial, her essay on the 19th Amendment appears in the National Park Service’s website publication, 19th Amendment and Women's Access to the Vote Across America; she served as a historical advisor to the National Archives in preparing its suffrage centennial exhibit, Rightfully Hers; and, until the pandemic, she lectured often on the history of voting rights.
This program marks the opening of the Special Collections and University Archives online exhibition, On Account of Sex: The Struggle for Women’s Suffrage in Middlesex County, New Jersey. More details about the exhibition will be forthcoming
