Comment écrire une biographie d’artiste : Sacha Sosno et l’art d’oblitération
No full textL’auteure explore les contraintes – « obstacles narratifs » – qui pèsent sur les biographies d’artistes et pose la question : peut-on faire d’une vie (d’artiste) une étude, qui ne soit pas en même temps un récit ? Voir une vie comme une trajectoire, ainsi que le préconisait Bourdieu, ce serait croiser les paramètres et les variables pour une analyse de vie. Un cas exemplaire est exposé, celui de l’unification (la mise sous tension) d’un récit de vie par le concept-clé présidant à une pratique : l’oblitération comme le fil rouge (ou noir) qui parcourt avec ténacité et cohérence la vie créative du sculpteur contemporain Sacha Sosno.The author explores the constraints – “narrative obstacles” – which burden artists’ biographies and asks the following question: is it possible to write the study of a life (of an artist), without writing a tale at the same time? To see someone’s life as a trajectory, as Bourdieu would have recommended, would mean combining parameters and variables for a life analysis. An exemplary case is exposed, of the unification (the switching on) of a life narrative seen through a key-concept ordering a specific practice: the obliteration of things as a linking thread running coherently through the creative life of contemporary sculptor Sacha Sosno
Yakutian works by Wacław Sieroszewski in the context of the transformation of Sacha (Yakuts) national consciousness
No full textDissertation
with topic “
Yakutian works by Wacław Sieroszewski in the context of the
transformation of Sacha (Yakuts) national consciousness
” presented in the field of cultural
studies.
This piece attempts to analyse Wacław Sieroszewski's body of work on Sacha culture,
within the context of the transformation of the consciousness of successive generations of
Yakutians over two centuries. The aim was to present a perspective that would differ from the
existing conceptualizations of this Polish writer's work, and would al
low us to see the possibility
of new interpretations of the interdisciplinary heritage of the author’s book “
Twelve year in the
Yakut country
”, 1900. This approach is useful for the study of contemporary Sacha culture,
including the overlapping of many dis
ciplines
-
cultural studies, ethnography, history,
psychology, literature, oriental studies, anthropology and linguistics.
From the insider's native perspective the author analyses the materials devoted to Sacha
culture
as collected and compiled in this late nineteenth century exile's research. It should be
noted that this is the first analysis of Sieroszewski's writing heritage in the Polish language by
a Yakutian researcher (that is to say, from the perspective of a "n
ative" in the colonial context).
This academic project seeks to balance the complex, heterogeneous nature of colonialist
narratives against the ongoing struggle of the Sacha for effective dialogue on the cutting edge
of post
-
colonialist territorial realit
y.
This dissertation attempts to analyse the contemporary and current perception of
Russian influence, although the process of colonization is not the centre of attention research.
The work has also used postcolonial discourse, which is an important aspec
t of supposed
“mental decolonisation” (or the mental process of removal of “Empire”.
This PhD study analysing the Yakutian legacy of the Polish writer's themes emerged
from the assertion that the main goal of Wacław Sieroszewski works was the criticism of
imperialism and colonialism, the formulation of themes of cultural independence.Przedstawiona praca
w zakresie ku
lturoznawstwa pt. „Jakuckie prace Wacława
Sieroszewskiego w kontekście przemian świadomości narodowej Sacha (Jakutów)”, analizuje
twórcze dziedzictwo Wacława Sieroszewskiego dotyczące kultury Sacha, ujęte w kontekście
trwającego ponad dwa wieki procesu przeobrażenia świadomości kolejnych pokoleń Jakutów.
Celem było ukazanie perspektywy, która różniłaby się od dotyc
hczasowych koncept
ualizacji
twórczości
polskiego pisarza
oraz pozwoliłaby dostrzec możliwości nowych pogłębionych
interpretacji interdyscyplinarnej spuścizny autora
powieści
Dwunastu lat w kraju Jakutów.
Takie podejście jest przydatne dla współczesnych badań kultury Sacha,
obejmujących
pogranicza wielu dyscyplin
–
kulturoznawstwa, etnografii, historii, psychologii, literatury,
orientalistyki, antropologii i językoznawstwa.
Przez wizje badacza własnej kultury autor analizuje materiały poświęcone kulturze

–
zgromadzon
ych i opracowanych przez badaczy

obcokrajowców z przełomu XIX

XX wieku
–
dokonanych z perspektywy insidera (zaangażowanego podmiotu). Należy
zauważyć, że jest to pierwsza synteza spuścizny pisarskiej Sieroszewskiego dokonana w języku
polskim przez badaczkę
jakucką (znaczenie kategorii „native”).
Praca stara się przybliżyć skomplikowaną i niejednorodną naturę kulturowych i
cywilizacyjnych konwersacji, żeby następne przedstawić zachowaną kulturową odmienność
narodu Sacha, która dąży we współczesności do dialo
gu na pograniczach kultur i cywilizacji.
W rozprawie doktorskiej analizowana jest specyfika postrzegania rosyjskiej kolonizacji
jakuckim społeczeństwem, chociaż sam proces kolonizacji nie jest w centrum uwagi
badawczej. W pracy również został zastosowany d
yskurs postkolonialny, który jest istotnym
polem do dekolonizacji umysłowej, tzn. procesu
usunięcia „imperium z umysłów".
Doktorantka
dla przeprowadzenia analizy spuścizny polskiego pisarza na jakucką tematykę
wychodziła z założenia
,
że głównym celem twórc
zości Wacława Sieroszewskiego
była krytyka
imperializmu,
kolonializmu oraz sformułowanie haseł niepodległościowych, przynajmniej w
zakresie kulturowym.
Badanie spójnego rozwoju tradycyjnego jakuckiego społeczeństwa pozwala lepiej
prześledzić ciągłość międ
zy przeszłością a teraźniejszością. Główną problemem było
rozważenie zebranych
przez Wacława
Sieroszewskiego danych z punktu widzenia
współczesnej nauki, ponieważ przez długi czas jakuckie pracy Sieroszewskiego byli
analizowane przez pryzmat teorii i metod
ologii XIX wieku. Dopiero rozpatrzenie tego
problemu wobec innych czynników historycznych oraz kompleksowej analizy źródeł pozwoliły
uzasadnić
współczesną rolę jego prac
We'll Always have Geneva: The Existential Crisis of the US-led Multilateral Trading System and the EU Reactions
No full textThe chapter examines the EU’s reaction to the “existential crisis of the US-led multilateral trading system” brought about by the Trump administration. According to the author, the central takeaway is not the fact that the current US administration is considering measures potentially incompatible with the World Trade Organization (WTO), as many states have done that in the past, and pushing the envelope of legality has a long and distinguished pedigree. Instead, what is disturbing, is that WTO law compatibility seems to not be any longer part of the political calculus. In reaction to the US position, the EU has engaged in multiple efforts to strengthen its rules-based approach to international economic governance, seeking common ground and attempting to build bridges. The US measures concerning steel and aluminium, however, seem to call for a tougher response, but still based on international law rather than in contradiction with it. Indeed, by comparison the EU can be considered a poster child for the multilateral world order, its sometimes selective or even selfish treatment of international law notwithstanding
From Bidlīs to Ardabīl Via Aleppo and Iṣfahān. On the Circulation of a Manuscript of Šaraf Ḫān Bidlīsī’s Šarafnāma Revised by the Author (1007/1599).
No full textInternational audienceThe Dorn 306 manuscript of the National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg is a copy revised by the author of the Šarafnāma, a history of Kurdish dynasties written in Persian in 1005-7/1596-99 by Šaraf Ḫān Bidlīsī. Dated Šavvāl 1007/May 1599, the manuscript was bequeathed as a vaqf by Šāh ʿAbbās to Šayḫ Ṣafī’s shrine’s library in 1017/1608. This article studies the history of the manuscript’s circulation between the years 1007/1599 and 1017/1608
Translation and response between Maurice Blanchot and Lydia Davis
No full textWhen an author translates a text by another writer, this translation is one form of a response to that text. Other responses may appear in their own writings that are more inflected with their authorial persona. Lydia Davis translated six books by Maurice Blanchot, including fiction and theoretical writings. Blanchot’s concept of the récit privileges non-conventional forms of narrative and it can be considered to have influenced Davis, a view shared in critical writing about Davis. However, responses to his fiction can also be found in Davis’s work. This article reads Lydia Davis’s story “Story” as a response to Maurice Blanchot’s récit, La Folie du jour, translated by Davis as “The Madness of the Day”. Both texts develop a narrative that questions the possibility of arriving at a single story: Blanchot’s narrator cannot tell the story of how he came to have glass ground into his eyes, while Davis’s narrator must try to understand a contradictory story told to her by her lover. However, Davis responds to Blanchot by reversing the perspective in the story: where Blanchot’s narrator must and cannot create a story that explains his situation in a judicial/medical context, Davis’s narrator is struggling to understand her lover’s story which does not explain the situation that they find themselves in. Davis’s narrator is therefore motivated by an emotional need to find an acceptable story that is absent from Blanchot’s narrator. This difference in motivation is central to the difference between Davis’s and Blanchot’s approach, and complicates any reading of his influence on her because she responds to his text in her own

G. M. Sacha, "Influence of the Substrate and Tip Shape on the Characterization of Thin Films by Electrostatic Force Microscopy", IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology, vol.12, no.2, pp.152-156, Marzo 2013.Electrostatic force microscopy has been shown to be a useful tool to determine the dielectric constant of nanoscaled thin films that play a key role in many electrical, optical and biological phenomena. Previous approaches have made use of simple analytical models to analyze the experimental data for these materials. Here we show that the electrostatic force shows a completely different behavior when the shape of the tip and sample are taken into account. We present a complete study of the interaction between the whole tip and the layers below the thin film. We demonstrate that physical magnitudes such as the surface charge density distribution and the size of the materials have a strong influence on the EFM signal. The EFM sensitivity to the substrate below the thin film decreases with the substrate thickness and saturates for thicknesses above two times the length of the tip, when it is close to that of an infinite medium.Author acknowledges interesting discussion from J.

Efficient direct shoot organogenesis and genetic stability in micropropagated sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.)
No full textObjective: It is necessary to improve biotech platforms based on in vitro cell tissue culture to support sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis L.) research programs and draw on the nutritional value of the high polyunsaturated fatty acid content of its oilseed. Here, we developed a rapid and efficient method for induction and direct in vitro shoot development for this species. Results: Shoots were generated from hypocotyl explants. The highest organogenic response was obtained in woody plant medium supplemented with 1 mg/L thidiazuron and 0.5 mg/L zeatin supplemented with L-glutamine, adenine hemisulfate, and L-arginine. Shoots obtained using this medium were transferred and subcultivated with different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid and 1-naphthylacetic acid for rooting. For the first time, a histological analysis was performed supporting direct organogenic development in this species. The plantlets obtained were transferred ex vitro with a survival percentage of 80%. The genetic stability of the plants recovered was confirmed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA analysis. All results indicate that it would be possible to stimulate direct shoot formation from hypocotyls to support the sustainable use of this species. © 2020 The Author(s)

Obraz kultury lagrowej w świadectwach więźniów Buchenwaldu 1937–1945. It consists of three parts: a historical introduction of major death and labour camps in the Third Reich, an analysis of the cultural production in Buchenwald and an anthology of poetry created in Buchenwald and HASAG‑Leipzig camps. The author of the article argues that Sacha’s seemingly traditional approach to historiography is deeply involved in the methodology introduced by New Historicism.
