La symbolique maternelle dans quatre romans de Françoise Mallet-Joris /
No full textSo far, Francoise Mallet-Joris has been categorized either as a Catholic novelist or as a moderate feminist. Accused of conservatism by some, perceived by others as immoral, she has been considerably underrated by a critical audience anxious to maintain traditional literary categories. This thesis attempts to demonstrate that faith and feminism, far from conflicting with each other, are linked in Mallet-Joris' work with the process of writing, thus forming a triple entity where the common denominator is the theme of maternity. This theme will be analysed in four of Mallet-Joris' novels, Les Mensonges, Les Signes et les Prodiges, Allegra, and La Tristesse du Cerf-volant, using a symbolic approach whose usefulness lies in the twofold definition of a symbol as, on the one hand, a materialisation of the inexpressible and on the other, a split unity. For the temporal modality and the concept of identity inherent in the maternal experience place it outside the narrative system, thus putting any author who wishes to tackle this area in the position of either inventing a new narrative form or attempting a compromise between already existing forms and the specific content of the maternal experience. It is this latter alternative that Francoise Mallet-Joris adopts. Although as far as form is concerned, Mallet-Joris can hardly be termed innovative, she demonstrates on an ideological plane an originality which is largely the product of using the symbol of the Virgin Mary as an intermediary between the maternal experience and the symbolic order

Framing metamemory judgments: judgments of retention intervals (JORIs)
Get PDF2010 Summer.Includes bibliographic references (pages 57-60).Covers not scanned.Print version deaccessioned 2022.Prior research has shown that participants’ predictions of memory performance are not sensitive to the time between study and test. However, this work has largely relied in one metacognitive measure, Judgments of Learning (JOLs), to assess such awareness. Thus, in three experiments I explored a new metacognitive measure. Judgments of Retention Interval (JORIs), in which participants determine how long (in minutes) information will be remembered. Results demonstrated that the metacognitive measure itself influences assessments of monitoring and control. For example participants chose to restudy more items when JORIs were made, compared with fewer restudy choices from participants who made JOLs (Experiment 2). However, participants demonstrated difficulty incorporating information about a retention interval into their judgments regardless of the type of judgment made (i.e., JOLs or JORIs). Results are considered within existing theoretical frameworks. I suggest that the metacognitive measure needs to be considered in order to accurately assess metacognitive awareness, and additional work is needed to assess metacognitive awareness of RI
Reflectie over vrije tijd voor personen met een beperking n.a.v. Demos-onderzoek

The Art of Bridge Design: Identifying a design approach for well-integrated, integrally-designed and socially-valued bridges
Get PDFIt is hard to imagine a world without bridges. Bridges lie at the heart of our civilization bringing growth and prosperity to our society. It is by virtue of bridges that communities are able to physically connect to new people and to new places that were previously disconnected. However, bridges are more than mere functional assets. A well-designed bridge reflects mankind’s creativity and ingenuity. The way that our bridges are commissioned, designed and procured is rapidly changing. Nowadays, a large number of experts from many different disciplines work on the design during different phases of the project. The segregation of knowledge into discipline-specific fields, and the fragmented approach to bridge procurement, have resulted in a general lack of cohesion in bridge design. The objective of this research is to identify a design approach, through all scales of the design, that leads to bridges that are well-integrated, that are integrally-designed and that are valued by society. The methodology of this research is the reviewing of numerous projects from my own bridge design practice. By identifying design considerations on four levels, namely the level of the landscape, on the level of the bridge, on the level of the detail and on the level of the material, this research demonstrates how an overall approach to well-integrated, integrally designed and valued bridges can be achieved by addressing each of these scales of the design.If the mutations in the field of bridge design that have occurred over the past 150 years have taught us one thing, it is that the field of bridge design has become far too complex to be embodied by one person, whether it be an engineer or an architect. The role that the master builder played up until the late renaissance, bringing together aesthetic design and building craft into one person, is nowadays fulfilled by a team of specialists. You could say that the integrated design team is the contemporary version of the renaissance master builder. The basis of the ideal team naturally consists of a lead architect and a chief engineer. Within this team, the architect should be the design integrator; he or she has the task of securing the equilibrium between Beauty, Utility and Solidity throughout every phase of the design process. This balancing act takes place at all scale levels and through all phases of the design. Een wereld zonder bruggen is moeilijk voor te stellen. Bruggen vormen het hart van onze beschaving en brengen ons groei en welvaart. Bruggen verbinden mensen en plaatsen die voorheen niet meer met elkaar verbonden waren. Echter, bruggen zijn meer dan alleen functionele assets. Een goed ontworpen brug weerspiegelt de creativiteit en vindingrijkheid van de mensheid.De manier waarop onze bruggen worden gepland, ontworpen en aanbesteed, verandert snel. Tegenwoordig werkt een keur aan specialisten uit verschillende disciplines tijdens verschillende fasen van het project aan het ontwerp. De segregatie van kennis in discipline-specifieke vakgebieden en de gefragmenteerde aanpak van aanbestedingen hebben geleid tot een algemeen gebrek aan samenhang in het brugontwerp. De doelstelling van dit onderzoek is het identificeren van een ontwerpbenadering, door alle schaalniveaus van het ontwerp, die leidt tot bruggen die goed geïntegreerd zijn, die integraal zijn ontworpen en die gewaardeerd worden door de samenleving. De methodologie van dit onderzoek bestaat uit een toetsing van talrijke projecten uit mijn eigen brugontwerppraktijk. Door ontwerpoverwegingen te identificeren op vier niveaus, namelijk het niveau van het landschap, op het niveau van de brug, op het niveau van het detail en op het niveau van het materiaal, laat dit onderzoek zien hoe een algemene benadering van goed geïntegreerde, integraal ontworpen en gewaardeerde bruggen kan worden bereikt door elk van deze schalen van het ontwerp aan te pakken.Als de mutaties die zich de afgelopen 150 jaar op het gebied van brugontwerp hebben voorgedaan ons één ding hebben geleerd, dan is het wel dat het veld van brugontwerp veel te complex is geworden om door één persoon te worden belichaamd, of het nu een ingenieur of een architect is. De rol die de bouwmeester tot in de late renaissance heeft gespeeld, waarbij esthetisch ontwerp en bouwtechniek in één persoon werden samengebracht, wordt tegenwoordig vervuld door een team van specialisten. Je zou kunnen stellen dat het geïntegreerde ontwerpteam de hedendaagse versie van de bouwmeester uit de renaissance is. De basis van het ideale team bestaat logischerwijs uit een hoofdarchitect en een hoofdingenieur. In dit team moet de architect de ontwerp-integrator zijn; hij of zij heeft de taak om het evenwicht tussen Schoonheid, Nut en Robuustheid in elke fase van het ontwerpproces te borgen. Deze evenwichtsoefening vindt plaats op alle schaalniveaus en in alle fasen van het ontwerp.A+BE | Architecture and the Built Environment No 3 (2019)Structural Design & Mechanic
