The author as actor: a defense of Quentin Skinner
No full textIn this thesis, I defend Quentin Skinner's work against some criticisms raised by three of his interlocutors: John Keane, Kennet Minogue, and Joseph Femia. All three of these critics take issue with Skinner's author-centered approach to the historical interpretation of texts. Femia, invoking Roland Barthes 'death of the author' thesis, argues that Skinner's attempt to recover the intentions of authors is impossible. While Minogue and Keane do not dispute the possibility of recovering an author's intentions, they question the unity of such an enterprise. In order to answer Femia's criticism of Skinner, I draw an analogy between Skinner's figure of the author, and Arendt's figure of the political actor. I argue that just as it is possible for someone to know what a political actor is doing in performing a political act, it is similarly possible for an intellectual historian to understand what political acts an author was doing in writing his or her text. To refute Minogue's and Keane's claims that a Skinnerian approach to intellectual history is of no use to the political theorist, I point to three examples of how Skinner's recovery of forgotten political discourses have been applied to contemporary debates in political theory.Graduat

Salix transect of Europe: records of willow-associated weevils (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea) from Greece to Arctic Norway, with insights from DNA barcoding.
No full textCurculionid beetles associated with willow (Salix spp.) were surveyed at 42 sites across Europe, from Greece (lat. 38.8 °N) to arctic Norway (lat. 69.7 °N). DNA sequence data provide additional verification of identifications and geographic clustering.In all, 73 curculionid species were collected from willows, of which seven were particularly abundant. The most widespread species were: Acalyptus carpini Fabricius, 1793 at 15 sites; Tachyerges stigma Germar, 1821 at 13 sites; Phyllobius oblongus (Linnaeus, 1758) at 11 sites; Phyllobius maculicornis Germar, 1824 at 10 sites; and Archarius salicivorus (Paykull, 1792), Melanapion minimum (Herbst, 1797), and Phyllobius cf. pyri (Linnaeus, 1758) all at nine sites. The mean number of curculionid species collected on willow at each site was 5.5 (range 0-14). Compared to chrysomelids, curculionids were richer in species but the species had relatively low average abundance. Widespread curculionid species appear to have scattered and patchy observed distributions with limited geographical structuring in our data. However, deeper sampling (e.g. over multiple seasons and years), would give a better indication of distribution, and may increase apparent geographical structuring. There is some site-to-site variation in colour in a few taxa, but little notable size variation. DNA barcoding, performed on some of the more common species, provides clear species clusters and definitive separation of the taxonomically more challenging species, as well as some interesting geographic insights. Our northernmost sample of Phyllobius oblongus is unique in clustering with Canadian samples of this species. On the other hand, our samples of Acalyptus carpini cluster with European samples and are distinct from a separate Canadian cluster of this species. We provide the first available DNA sequences for Phyllobius thalassinus Gyllenhal, 1834 (Hungary)

Features of auteur cinema in Quentin Tarantino's works
No full textMultimediju komunikācijaInformācijas un komunikācijas zinātnesMultimedia CommunicationInformation and Communication SciencesBakalaura darba tēmas nosaukums ir “Autorkino iezīmes Kventina Tarantīno daiļradē.”
Pētījumā izvirzītā hipotēze apgalvo, ka režisora Kventina Tarantīno (Quentin Tarantino) filmās ir
atrodamas autorkino iezīmes.
Bakalaura darba mērķis ir noskaidrot autorkino iezīmes Kventina Tarantīno sešās
ietekmīgākajās un skatītāju atzītākajās filmās, kuras tika atlasītas pēc Internacionālās filmu datu
bāzes. Darbā tiek apskatītas un analizētas sešas no Kventina Tarantīno filmām, kuras ir “Trakie
suņi” (Reservoir Dogs), “Lubene” (Pulp Fiction), “Nogalināt Bilu: 1. daļa” (Kill Bill: Vol. 1) un
“Nogalināt Bilu: 2. daļa” (Kill Bill: Vol. 2), kas pēc paša režisora uzskatiem ir, viena vesela, filma
sadalīta divās daļās, kā arī filmas “Bēdīgi slavenie mērgļi” (Inglorious Bastards), “Atsvabinātais
Džango” (Django Unchained) un “Reiz Holivdā” (Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood).
Darba mērķa izpildei teorētiskajā daļā tika aplūkots autorkino jēdziens, Holivudas
klasiskais kino stils, kino valoda, kā arī Kventina Tarantīno biogrāfija, lai palīdzētu izprast un
analizēt atlasītās filmas. Par pētījuma metodi tika izvēlēta kvalitatīvā kontentanalīze.The title of the bachelor's thesis is "Features of auteur cinema in Quentin Tarantino's
works" The study’s hypothesis states that directors Quentin's Tarantino's films have the features
of an author.
The purpose of the bachelor's thesis is to find out the influence of author cinema on Quentin
Tarantino's six most influential and audience-recognized films selected from the International Film
Database. Work is discussed and analyzed in six of Quentin Tarantino films, which are “Reservoir
Dogs”, “Pulp Fiction”, “Kill Bill: Vol. 1” and “Kill Bill: Vol. 2”, which the director says is a whole
movie divided into two parts, as well as “Inglorious Bastards”, “Django Unchained” and “Once
Upon a Time ... in Hollywood”.
The theoretical part of the paper explored the concept of author cinema, Hollywood classic
cinema, film language, and the biography of Quentin Tarantino to help understand and analyze
selected films. Qualitative content analysis was chosen as the research method
Saint-Quentin et sa région
No full textThe author insists on the seriousness of the trade depression in Saint-Quentin last years (ten per cent workmen out of work, unemployed period above eleven months.). Metallurgy is the principal industry and «Motobécane» the first firm, making the famous «Mobylette» since 1951. Therefore, the difficulties of «Motobécane», of the engineering industry, have effects on the social situation. The town is, from now on, the starting point of an urban emigration. Old fortress on the right bank, protecting the crossing of the river Somme, Saint-Quentin has been destroyed during the first World War and rebuilt without large transformation. The town keeps an heptagonal shape with cross-roads on the both sides of the valley, canal and railway. The attraction area is, to-day, smaller than the Vermandois, very industrialized and populated region. For the future, Saint-Quentin shall have to expect : the «A-26 » motorway, the négociation of an employment agreement («Contrat de Bassin d'Emploi») and, later, the construction of the large-gauge canal «Seine-Nord» from Compiègne to Valenciennes.L'auteur insiste sur la gravité de la crise de remploi à Saint-Quentin aujourd 'hui (taux de chômage supérieur à 1 0%, durée moyenne de chômage supérieure à 11 mois). L'industrie est dominée par la métallurgie et celle-ci par la firme «MOTOBECANE» qui fabrique depuis 1951 les fameuses «mobylettes». Aussi les difficultés de Motobécane ou de l'industrie de la manutention rejaillissent-elles immédiatement sur la situation sociale. La ville est désormais le point de départ d'un véritable exode urbain. Ancienne place forte gardant, sur la rive droite , le passage de la Somme, presque complètement détruit en 1918, mais reconstruit largement à l'identique, St-Quentin a hérité d'une double structure heptagonale et en «patte d'oie» de part et d'autre de la coupure majeure de la vallée de la Somme (canal et voie ferrée). Son aire d'attraction s'est réduite par rapport à la région qui l'entoure, le Vermandois, relativement peuplé et industrialisé lui-même. Pour l'avenir, St-Quentin doit compter surtout, sur l'arrivée de l'autoroute A 26 et sur les efforts qui s'inscriront dans un «Contrat de Bassin d'Emploi», et, à long terme sur la liaison fluviale à grand gabarit «Seine-Nord» utilisant le tracé du canal de St-Quentin.Oudart Paul.
