Editorial Note: The book review as "performance"
No full textThe growth of the Internet presents challenges to knowledge transfer; such knowledge is formed contextually and dialogically, a negotiated discursive construct that is created between people. The editorial makes a case for book reviews and review essays which are auto-ethnographic, "performative" and critical. The shift to a more dialogic exploration of emergent knowledge through the book review as social discourse is discussed. The essence of qualitative research itself is explored as the bedrock of book reviews. Reviews are considered as polyvocal attempts at interfacing with cultural/relational/linguistic accounts of the real. A narrative approach to reporting on reviewed books is encouraged, permitting authors to reveal themselves in the relationships presented through their writing. A case is made that a phenomenological approach to writing reviews would be more interested in the person who writes than in the act of writing itself.
It is through the creative representations of the reviewed book that reviewers can fashion their own individual Gestalt or worldview woven from the writing under review. The report itself mediates between researcher/writer and reviewer/reader. Such an approach opens up opportunities to write book reviews "performatively". Finally, reviewers are encouraged to create both a dialogue with the author under consideration as well as with their reader
Hyper-performer le stéréotype : l’écriture d’une scène de sexe comme stratégie post- conceptuelle chez Trisha Low
No full textInternational audience"Vol. II: The sexual assault of Trisha Low as circulated by love in a maze, or, virtue rewarded" is the title of the second part of The Compleat Purge, a poetic text published in 2013 by Trisha Low. It is emblematic of the way in which North American post-conceptualist poets seize their conceptualist heritage: they appropriate the words of others in order to reproduce them, to copy them, to pastiche them, but in an impure way. In this section, Low evokes, summons, and pastiche different types of literature that formulate female sexuality, and thus say something about the gender identity that is supposed to conform to these practices. Low cites these literary discourses in a way that emphasizes their stereotypical nature, including clichéd dialogue and a sex scene written as an adolescent fantasy. This is where Low's strategy is situated: she is not trying to subvert dominant cultural representations; on the contrary, she is exaggerating them; her practice performs a hyper-identification with the cultural and aesthetic codes she pastiches. As opposed to aiming at another type of representation separated from the dominant masculine ideology, the strategy set up by the author aims rather at an exaggeration of the normative scripts, an exaggeration which ends up exhausting them.« Vol. II : The sexual assault of Trisha Low as circulated by love in a maze, or, virtue rewarded » est le titre de la seconde partie de The Compleat Purge, texte poétique publié en 2013 par Trisha Low. Il est emblématique de la façon dont les poètes post-conceptuels états- uniens s’emparent de leur héritage conceptualiste : répéter les mots des autres, les transférer sur l’espace de la page, mais de manière moins exacte, moins protocolaire et froide, que leurs aînés. Dans cette partie, Low évoque, convoque et pastiche différents types de littératures qui formulent la sexualité féminine, et qui disent donc quelque chose de l’identité de genre qui est censée se conformer à ces pratiques.

À l’opposé d’une recherche d’écriture visant un autre type de représentation séparée de l’idéologie masculine dominante, la stratégie mise en place par l’auteure vise plutôt à une exagération des scripts normatifs

Fostering a Sense of Place Through Literary Work
No full textEver wonder what happens to a book before it lands on an editor’s desk? Trisha spent her summer immersed in the New York City publishing scene through her work at InkWell Management, a literary agency with a client base ranging from Anthony Bourdain to Markus Zusak. This presentation will outline the role of literary agencies in the publishing landscape along with Trisha’s specific responsibilities at InkWell, explaining how her newfound knowledge of the industry and the respect that InkWell’s agents showed towards genre fiction worked in tandem to give her the confidence to plan for a future in writing romance and women’s fiction. Although her internship assured her that she would find fulfillment working as an agent or editor, it ultimately solidified that she has the passion and determination to make it as an author, and even more importantly, that she owes it to herself to try.This panel will explore the multiple layers of the literary world, highlighting the importance of creating place through social engagement and individual reflection.Two panelists interacted directly with the community by promoting accessibility to previously-published works as well as fostering a love of literature. The other panelists worked within the pre-publication process, from drafting to assisting agents in preparing client manuscripts for publication. Molly found her place in nonprofit development work and gained experience in fundraising and grant research in New York City. Katie promoted dialogue across communities in her hometown through a reading campaign which encouraged residents to read the same book in tandem. Trisha gained a sense of confidence regarding her future plans as she learned about the publication process from start to finish. Carlin found the value in writing on location, as well as using research and interviews to communicate her work’s setting

Fiber to waveguide couplers for silicon photonics
No full textThesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Materials Science and Engineering, 2004.This electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Includes bibliographical references (p. 75-78).As silicon photonics enters mainstream technology, we find ourselves in need of methods to seamlessly transfer light between the optical fibers of global scale telecommunications networks and the on-chip waveguides used for signal routing and processing in local computing networks. Connecting these components directly results in high loss from their unequal sizes. Therefore, we employ a coupler, which acts as an intermediary device to reduce loss through mode and index matching, and provide alignment tolerance. This thesis presents a potential fiber-to-waveguide coupler design for use in integrating such networks. A quadratic index stack focuses incident light from a fiber in one plane, while a planar lens and linear taper do likewise in the perpendicular plane. Once the mode is sufficiently compressed, the light then enters and propagates through the waveguide. We performed simulations using the beam propagation method and finite difference time domain, among other modeling techniques, to optimize coupling efficiency and gain an understanding of how varying certain parameters affects coupler performance. The simulation results were then incorporated into a mask layout for fabrication and measurement.by Trisha M. Montalbo.S.M
