Sarat Colling | Animali in rivolta | Mimesis | 2017
No full text Sarat Colling, Animali in rivolta, Mimesis Edizioni, 2017 Nel 2000, mentre veniva condotta al mattatoio di Brooklyn, una mucca scappò per salvarsi la vita. La fuga andò a buon fine. Anche se era previsto che Queenie, come fu poi ribattezzata, dovesse essere riportata al macello, lo sdegno sollevato attorno al caso prevalse, risparmiando alla bestia un terribile destino. Sarat Colling prende in esame le vicende degli animali fuggiti dai macelli e analizza l’impatto che queste storie hanno ..

No full textAnimals without Borders: Farmed Animal Resistance in New York
No full textWhile billions of farmed animals are immobilized within agribusiness, every year some
of these animals manage to break free. This thesis examines the stories of those who flee
slaughterhouses and the public response to these individuals. My objective is to
understand how animals resist and the role that their stories play in disrupting the ways
that humans, particularly as consumers, are distanced from the violence of animal
enterprises. Included are six vignettes that allow for an in-depth case study of those who
have escaped within New York State. Located in the interdisciplinary field of critical
animal studies, my inquiry draws upon new animal geographies, transnational feminisms,
and critical discourse analysis. This contribution provides discussion of farmed animal
resistance in particular and compares experiences and representations of their resistance
from both the “view from below,” which is learned through the animals’ caretakers, and a
“view from above,” which is gleaned from their representations in corporate-driven
mainstream media

Through the lenses of Critical Animal Studies as well as Judith Butler, Erinn Gilson, and Sarat Colling\u27s perspectives on the subject, the article examines the protagonist\u27s insubordination as she confronts an especisiest, ableist, and heteropatriarchal society.Este trabalho analisa a obra Sobre os ossos dos mortos (2019), de Olga Tokarczuk, a partir do estudo das relações entre vulnerabilidade e resistência. Partindo das premissas dos estudos críticos animais e dos apontamentos de Judith Butler, Erinn Gilson e Sarat Colling sobre o tema, o artigo examina a insubordinação da protagonista frente a uma sociedade especista, capacitista e heteropatriarcal
Writing as improvisation of memory: Por los tiempos de Clemente Colling, by Felisberto Hernández
No full textEsta dissertação é uma tradução na íntegra e uma análise da obra Por los tiempos de Clemente Colling (1942), do escritor uruguaio Felisberto Hernández. O estudo é feito sobretudo a partir da perspectiva da improvisação musical como processo de escrita e de construção da memória. Através de uma abordagem teórico-crítica que inclui aproximações com a obra de Marcel Proust, investiga-se como o texto utiliza elementos como a fragmentação temporal, a memória involuntária e a relação entre visão, cegueira e audição para elaborar uma narrativa singular que, embora fragmentada, não é aleatória ou precária. Percorre-se também os aspectos estruturais da novela, mostrando como esse fluxo de memórias, associado a questões como a sintaxe nada ortodoxa e a atmosfera de mistério que a tudo recobre moldam a tessitura textual. Além disso, destaca-se a relação entre o autor, seus contemporâneos e a vanguarda, observando a maneira como ele reconfigura conceitos como colagem e deslocamento. Por fim, discute-se a tradução da obra como uma prática de improvisação e performanceThis dissertation presents a complete translation and an analysis of Por los tiempos de Clemente Colling (1942), a novel by the Uruguayan writer Felisberto Hernández. The study is primarily conducted from the perspective of musical improvisation as a process of writing and memory construction. Through a theoretical and critical approach – including comparisons with the work of Marcel Proust – the research examines how the text employs elements such as temporal fragmentation, involuntary memory, and the interplay between vision, blindness, and hearing to construct a singular narrative that, despite its fragmented nature, is neither random nor precarious. The study also explores the structural aspects of the novel, demonstrating how this flow of memories, combined with elements such as its unorthodox syntax and the pervasive atmosphere of mystery, shapes the textual fabric. Furthermore, the dissertation highlights the relationship between the author, his contemporaries, and the avant-garde, analyzing how he reconfigures concepts such as collage and displacement. Finally, it discusses the translation of the novel as a practice of improvisation and performanc

No full textWaterborne platooning in the short sea shipping sector
No full textThe potential to implement the concept of waterborne platooning in the European short sea transportation system is currently being explored. In the concept, a platoon is referred to as a “Vessel Train” (VT). A VT is composed of a fully manned lead vessel and a number of follower vessels. The lead vessel takes over the navigational and situational awareness responsibilities for the follower vessels (FVs). This enables automation of the navigational tasks on these follower vessels, which in turn leads to a potential reduction in crew size and associated cost. This paper describes the economic viability of the VT concept. It is applied to a short sea case study in which a fully matured system and an early implementation stage are mimicked. The assessment shows that viability is strongly influenced by the number of crew members removed from the FVs and the departure intervals of consecutive trains. It concludes that while economically viable cases can indeed be identified, the benefits created by this VT implementation are present but not very large. This is making it questionable if a successful application of the concept can be achieved given the risk and uncertainty surrounding the individual parameters.Ship Design, Production and Operation
Automation Options for Custom-Made Composite Part Production
No full textThis project analyses the feasibility of the integration of an automation system for custom-made composite part production at the superyacht equipment manufacturer Rondal BV. An analysis of the current prepreg production is performed to understand the automation opportunities and production requirements. Nesting, kitting, protective film removal and the laminating of the plies as well as de-bulking preparation for the laminate were identified as potential automation areas. The analysis also considers the labour time and cost efficiency of the production.Various automation techniques currently applied in other composite manufacturing industries have been considered and analysed for their feasibility to the Rondal product manufacture. The focus of the analysis was to keep the current manufacturing steps, while reducing labour hours and lead time. The proposed system has also been assessed in terms of its future advancement by considering its current state of development within the industry. Based on this analysis the most appropriate automation solution is the “Pick and Place (P&P) cell” concept. Its capabilities and flexibility recommend it as a suitable candidate to be implemented in the automated manufacture of the variety of Rondal products.Challenges of each individual equipment within the P&P cell and their interactions are described in detail. Predictions for the automation equipment except for the film removal tool where able to be obtained through literature and interviews with experts in the industry. Due to the lack of available literature information fitting this specific application, on the protective film removal process, a large proportion of this project was dedicated to the development of this tool. In contrast to previous developments, this project uses shock cooling as a solution to detach the protective film from the prepreg.Implementation of a P&P cell concept was further investigated by the ability of the robot to reach all equipment without affecting the work flow throughout the Rondal workshop. Regulations and other layout restrictions have been considered for the final layout proposal. In order to align the manual and the automation process effectively, common mechanized process steps have been integrated for the use of both approaches.The effectiveness of the chosen automation system was demonstrated by analysing cost and time statistics of the on-site process, as well as observations of a computer-assisted process simulation. As a result, lead time saving of up to 5 work days per product type as well as labour time reduction of up to 50% were determined. However, the economic analysis showed that the investment into the P&P automation system is not feasible given the current volume of production. On the basis of these conclusions, recommendations have been made to Rondal, proving potential production changes that could lead to an effective integration of automation at their facilities.Marine Technology | Ship Design, Production and Operation
Bjerget og Borgerkrigen
No full textIn this paper, we’re interested in examining the recent critically acclaimed works of the Danish au-thor, Kaspar Colling Nielsen. He only has two works to his name, his 2010 debut Mount Køben-havn, and his first novel, Den Danske Borgerkrig 2018-24, which was published in 2013. Still, it is not an understatement to say that Colling Nielsen has more than stood out in the literary arena. His aberrant themes and writing style set him apart from most of his contemporaries and has earned him a lot of attention from people both inside and outside the Danish literary community. In this paper’s quest to explore the works of Kaspar Colling Nielsen, we analyze the characteristics of his texts and examine the ways in which his literature can act as social criticism. We seek to an-swer some of these questions through literary techniques like magical realism, science fiction, nar-ration and humor. Based on our analysis, it can be concluded that Colling Nielsen, in both works, construct his texts as sort of a hybrid genre that mixes the qualities of the novel and short stories. Furthermore, he draws upon elements of magical realism and science fiction to add vulgar, grotesque, hyperbolic, and hu-morous qualities to his writing. Our analysis finds that certain themes remain consistent throughout Colling Nielsen’s works. Two main ones are the economy, and barriers of class. Moreover, it is concluded that Mount København serves as Colling Nielsen’s utopian vision, while Den Danske Borgerkrig 2018-24 can be character-ized as its dystopian counterpart. In both works, the author makes use of the genres’ potential for commenting on and criticizing real life social conditions.In this paper, we’re interested in examining the recent critically acclaimed works of the Danish au-thor, Kaspar Colling Nielsen.
