Différentes sources d’inspiration dans l’oeuvre romanesque d’Ananda Devi
No full textIn the article the author analyses various sources of inspiration noticeable in the works of Ananda Devi. Considering the writer’s background, her native island of Mauritius, a multi-ethnic multi-lingual and multi-cultural island, various cultural inspirations are noticeable in her works. The author of this article focuses on the novelist’s prose and analyses the cultural references rooted in Indian, European, African and Creole cultures. The aim of this analysis is also to describe the intertextual relations that exist between some of Ananda Devi’s texts and the works of Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio, Tahar Ben Jelloun, Arthur Rimbaud or Malcolm de Chazal, T. S. Eliot, Toni Morrison and J. M. Coetzee. In the analysis, the author draws on the research of Homi Bhabha and Gérard Genette.In the article the author analyses various sources of inspiration noticeable in the works of Ananda Devi.

Heterogeneous and tissue-specific regulation of effector T cell responses by IFN-gamma during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection.
No full textIFN-γ and T cells are both required for the development of experimental cerebral malaria during Plasmodium berghei ANKA infection. Surprisingly, however, the role of IFN-γ in shaping the effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell response during this infection has not been examined in detail. To address this, we have compared the effector T cell responses in wild-type and IFN-γ(-/-) mice during P. berghei ANKA infection. The expansion of splenic CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells during P. berghei ANKA infection was unaffected by the absence of IFN-γ, but the contraction phase of the T cell response was significantly attenuated. Splenic T cell activation and effector function were essentially normal in IFN-γ(-/-) mice; however, the migration to, and accumulation of, effector CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the lung, liver, and brain was altered in IFN-γ(-/-) mice. Interestingly, activation and accumulation of T cells in various nonlymphoid organs was differently affected by lack of IFN-γ, suggesting that IFN-γ influences T cell effector function to varying levels in different anatomical locations. Importantly, control of splenic T cell numbers during P. berghei ANKA infection depended on active IFN-γ-dependent environmental signals--leading to T cell apoptosis--rather than upon intrinsic alterations in T cell programming. To our knowledge, this is the first study to fully investigate the role of IFN-γ in modulating T cell function during P. berghei ANKA infection and reveals that IFN-γ is required for efficient contraction of the pool of activated T cells

Alpinist adaptive potential and the dynamics of adaptation in Janusz Klarner’s „Nanda Devi”
No full textWyprawa alpinistów na Nanda Devi była pierwszą polską pomyślnie zakończoną wędrówką w Himalajach. Nanda Devi była bardzo trudnym wyzwaniem dla polskiej ekipy, ale po wielu niebezpiecznych sytuacjach w końcu osiągnęli szczyt. W kolejnym kroku alpiniści chcieli zdobyć szczyt Tirsuli. Niestety, dwóch ekspedytorów zostało zasypanych lawiną na zboczach lodowca. Janusz Klarner (członek ekipy polskich alpinistów) po kilku latach napisał książkę Nanda Devi, opartą na jego prywatnym dzienniku ekspedycyjnym. Główną tezą artykułu jest to, że dotarcie do Nanda Devi było możliwe dzięki odpowiedniej szybkości adaptacji. Himalaje były zupełnie nieznanym miejscem dla polskich alpinistów. Okoliczności wymagały adaptacji do nowych, wymagających warunków. W artykule autor analizuje te adaptacje. Niektóre z nich miały wymiar symboliczny, inne: kulturowy, techniczny oraz aksjologiczny. Korzystając z ustaleń Deleuze'a z Bergsonizmu, autor uznaje, że zdolność do odpowiednio dynamicznej adaptacji jest wynikiem odpowiedniego uporządkowania występującego w danym momencie. Podsumowując, autor rozważa różne powiązania wzorców kulturowych, przyczynowości osobistej i względów środowiskowychAlpinist expedition to the Nanda Devi was the first Polish successfully ended hiking in the Himalaya. Nanda Devi was a very tough challenge for Polish team but after many dangerous situations they finally reached the peak. As a next step alpinists wanted to reach Tirsuli peak. Unluckily, two of the expeditors were buried in an avalanche on the slopes of a glacier. Janusz Klarner (the member of the Polish alpinists team) after few years wrote a book Nanda Devi which is based on his private expedition journal. The main thesis of the article is that reaching Nanda Devi was possible by the accurate speed of adaptation. The Himalaya was a completely different and unknown place for Polish alpinists. Alpinists were forced to various adaptations in many different situations. In the article author analyses emerging changes and adaptations. Among them are symbolic, cultural, technical and axiological adaptations. Using Deleuze's findings from Bergsonizm, the author recognizes that the capacity for appropriately dynamic adaptation is the result of an appropriate arrangement occurring at a point in time. To sum up, an author considers various connections between cultural patterns, personal causality and environmental considerations
Ananda Devi et certains de l’exil
No full textInspired by Devi’s Ceux du large (2017) and by authors connected to her, a performance has been created by the author, who was to conduct an oral creative workshop among whose participants were young immigrants. Trying to take into account both dimensions of such an artistic but also human experience, the text points out the links between Ananda Devi’s words and the young immigrants’ ones, and also the influence of having read them on the way to lead the workshop. But, above all, it shows how such a poetic writing is necessary not to reduce migration to a simple and measurable fact.Inspirée par des pages de Ceux du large (Ananda Devi, 2017) et des pages d’autres auteurs avec lesquels Ananda Devi est en lien, une performance été faite par un artiste-chercheur devant aussi animer un atelier de création sonore et à la même période. Parmi les participants se trouvaient de jeunes migrants. Essayant de prendre en compte toutes les dimensions d’une telle expérience aussi bien humaine qu’artistique, le texte fait apparaître les liens entre les mots d’Ananda Devi et ceux des jeunes migrants, et aussi l’influence de les avoir lus sur la façon de conduire l’atelier. Mais, par-dessus tout, il s’agit de montrer combien une telle écriture poétique est nécessaire pour ne pas réduire la migration à un simple fait mesurable
