Autobiographie et aliénation dans ‘A Souvenir of Japan’, ‘The Smile of Winter’ et ‘Flesh and the Mirror’ d’Angela Carter
No full textAngela Carter’s predilection for estrangement is undeniable. However, this estrangement is not only apparent in the gothic modes of her fiction, but also in a few, rare, autobiographical pieces: ‘A Souvenir of Japan’, ‘The Smile of Winter’ and ‘Flesh and the Mirror’ (Fireworks 1974). The texts appear glaringly against a landscape of fiction in which the author’s textual death is clearly foregrounded with its baroque profusion of intertextual modes. As a partisan of Roland Barthes’ ‘Death of the Author’ Carter was vehemently opposed to ‘confession’ in women’s literature. However, interspersed with more gothic, or fantasy, pieces, these three pieces clearly function in the autobiographical mode, setting up an intricate game with genre that leads the reader to reflect on the connection between the real Angela Carter and the anonymous autobiographical ‘I’ of the narrator in her interaction with her Japanese lover/other in Japan. The pieces indeed waver self-consciously on the edges of the genres of confession, travel writing, and romance as the illusion of autobiographical depth or unity is dismantled from within and the I of the narrator/author is transformed into a spiral of loss of identity and performative reiteration. This paper aims to take a closer look at the autobiographical character of these pieces which appear at first glance as being atypical of Angela Carter’s aesthetics, but upon closer investigation reveal a subtle reflection on the themes of sexual/textual identity, alienation, and performance which dominate much of Carter’s fiction

The translation of identity in the satanic verses: a love song to our mongrel selves
Get PDFThis thesis examines the translation of character identities within Salman Rushdie's novel, The Satanic Verses, and seeks to demonstrate how the dynamics of translating a text can be used as a model for discussing the transformations of characters within the book. Rushdie uses the term "translation" as a metaphor for the migrant experience of uprootedness that is a result of being "borne across" from one culture to another. From it, however, can be derived a metaphor for the universal experience of alienation that is a part of our shared humanity, and which describes the process of responding to a sense of "otherness" within ourselves and within a pluralistic culture. The framework which will be used to examine characters within The Satanic Verses responding to such conditions is George Steiner's translation hermeneutic outlined and discussed In his book. After Babel: Aspects of Language and Translation. The Introduction will set the context for the use of the term "translation”. Chapter One will discuss Steiner's position within translation theory and Rushdie's affinity to it as well as explain the basic translation model. Chapters Two through Five will look closely at Rushdie's text, analyzing the two protagonists, Gibreel and Saladin, as they undergo, or fail to undergo, the translation process. Finally, the conclusion will suggest that the Rushdie affair engendered by this novel is, ironically, a linguistic debate provoked by a text that urges its readers to be translated. By making its readers acutely aware of what is "other" to them, the The Satanic Verses proposes and attempts to answer a single, profoundly religious, question: "How are we to live in the world?
SMILE : Search for MIlli-LEnses
Get PDFPublisher Copyright: © 2021 The Author(s) Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of Royal Astronomical Society.Dark matter (DM) haloes with masses below ∼108 M·, which would help to discriminate between DM models, may be detected through their gravitational effect on distant sources. The same applies to primordial black holes, considered as an alternative scenario to DM particle models. However, there is still no evidence for the existence of such objects. With the aim of finding compact objects in the mass range of ∼106-109 M·, we search for strong gravitational lenses on milliarcsec scales (<150 mas). For our search, we used the Astrogeo very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) fits image data base - the largest publicly available data base, containing multifrequency VLBI data of 13 828 individual sources. We used the citizen science approach to visually inspect all sources in all available frequencies in search for images with multiple compact components on mas scales. At the final stage, sources were excluded based on the surface brightness preservation criterion. We obtained a sample of 40 sources that passed all steps and therefore are judged to be mas lens candidates. These sources are currently followed up with ongoing European VLBI network observations at 5 and 22 GHz. Based on spectral index measurements, we suggest that two of our candidates have a higher probability to be associated with gravitational lenses.Peer reviewe
Barriers to energy efficiency improvement: Empirical evidence from small-and-medium sized enterprises in China
Get PDFThis paper analyzes barriers for energy efficiency investments for small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in China. Based on a survey of 480 SMEs in Zhejiang Province, this study assesses financial, informational, and organizational barriers for energy efficiency investments in the SME sector. The conventional view has been that the lack of appropriate financing mechanisms particularly hinders SMEs to adopt cost-effective energy efficiency measures. As such, closing the financing gap for SMEs is seen as a prerequisite in order to promote energy efficiency in the sector. The econometric estimates of this study, however, suggest that access to information is an important determinant of investment outcomes, while this is less clear with respect to financial and organizational factors. More than 40 percent of enterprises in the sample declared that that they are not aware of energy saving equipments or practices in their respective business area, indicating that there are high transaction costs for SMEs to gather, assess, and apply information about energy saving potentials and relevant technologies. One implication is that the Chinese government may assume an active role in fostering the dissemination of energy-efficiency related information in the SME sector. --energy efficiency,SMEs,China,energy policies,information access

Autobiographical Estrangement in Angela Carter’s ‘A Souvenir of Japan’, ‘The Smile of Winter’ and ‘Flesh and the Mirror’
No full textL’étrangeté indéniablement présente dans l’œuvre d’Angela Carter ne se limite pas aux modes gothiques, mais transparaît également dans quelques textes de caractère autobiographique: ‘A Souvenir of Japan’, ‘The Smile of Winter’ et ‘Flesh and the Mirror’ (Fireworks 1974). Ces textes font tache sur l’arrière-plan des modes intertextuels et baroques de la fiction cartérienne qui prône de toute évidence ‘la mort de l’auteur’. En effet, Carter était persuadée du caractère masochiste des modes dits confessionnels de certains écrits de femmes. Mais, ainsi intercalés parmi des nouvelles de caractère merveilleux, voir fantastique, dans le recueil, les modes autobiographiques qui prédominent dans ces trois textes jaillissent de façon surprenante dans une réflexion sur ce genre dit ‘narcissique’. Le lecteur est invité à réfléchir au lien entre la narratrice anonyme, dans ses relations avec son amant/autre au Japon, et l’auteur réel, Angela Carter. Les frontières génériques des trois textes vacillent de façon troublante entre les genres de la confession, du récit de voyage et du roman à l’eau de rose. L’illusion de profondeur autobiographique est transformée en une spirale étourdissante de perte d’identité et une mise en scène sans frontières. Cet article a pour objectif d’explorer le caractère autobiographique de ces trois textes qui semblent au premier abord être atypiques de l’esthétique cartérienne, mais qui révèlent, lorsqu’ils sont abordés de plus près, une réflexion subtile sur les thèmes de l’identité sexuelle/textuelle, de l’aliénation et de la théâtralité qui prédominent dans l’œuvre d’Angela Carter.Angela Carter’s predilection for estrangement is undeniable.
