    Abstract simplicity of locally compact Kac-Moody groups

    No full text
    In this paper, we establish that complete Kac-Moody groups over finite fields are abstractly simple. The proof makes essential use of Mathieu and Rousseau's construction of complete Kac-Moody groups over fields. This construction has the advantage that both real and imaginary root spaces of the Lie algebra lift to root subgroups over arbitrary fields. A key point in our proof is the fact, of independent interest, that both real and imaginary root subgroups are contracted by conjugation of positive powers of suitable Weyl group elements. © The Author 2014

    A fixed point theorem for Lie groups acting on buildings and applications to Kac-Moody theory

    No full text
    We establish a fixed point property for a certain class of locally compact groups, including almost connected Lie groups and compact groups of finite abelian width, which act by simplicial isometries on finite rank buildings with measurable stabilisers of points. As an application, we deduce amongst other things that all topological one-parameter subgroups of a real or complex Kac-Moody group are obtained by exponentiating ad-locally finite elements of the corresponding Lie algebra

    Text in Turkish ; Abstract: Turkish and EnglishIncludes bibliographical references (leaves: 122-127)x, 128 leavesDoğayı yadsıma düzeyine taşıyan egemen olma dayatmasının, yeni bir dilsel ve düşünsel yöntem yaratmanın önündeki engel olabileceği gerçeği gözlerimizin önündeyken, Gilles Deleuze tarafından, yeni biçim elde etmeyi ve yeni hissetme düşünme tarzı, başlı başına yeni bir dil yaratmayı bilmesinden ötürü, büyük sanatçı olarak nitelenen Marquis de Sade’ı mercek altına alan 2015 yılında Paris Musée d’Orsay’da gerçekleştirilen “Sade, Attaquer Le Soleil” (Sade, Güneşe Saldırmak) sergisi ilgi çekicidir. Otuz yıllık Marquis de Sade uzmanı, yazar ve eleştirmen Annie Le Brun küratörlüğünde gerçekleştirilen sergi, 1740-1814 yılları arasında yaşamış yazar, Marquis de Sade’ın metin okumalarını merkeze alarak, diğer düşünür ve felsefecilerden anektodlarla ve görsel sanatlarda bu düşüncelerin yansımaları olan örneklerle hazırlanmıştır. Yaşamının otuz yılını ha sedilmiş olarak geçiren Sade, bedensel mahkumiyetinin karşısına, düşüncesine ve kalemine tanıdığı mutlak özgürlüğü koymuştur. emsil edilemezin temsilini başaran, gösterilemezin gösterilmesine ön ayak olan sanatçı, bir yandan sürekli sansüre uğrarken bir yandan da devrim yıllarının en çok kabul gören düşünürü olmuştur. Yazın dilinin oluşturduğu kurgusuyla yasaklanması, devrim yılları sonrasında da edebi ve felsefi olarak incelemeye alınmasını ve yazdıklarının gerçeklik olarak kabul edilmesini engellememiştir. Karanlık bir atmosferin yaratıldığı sergi, güneşe saldırmanın imkansızlığını eyleme geçirmeye çalışan yazarın yaratmayı hedeflediği mutlak karanlıkta, insanın karanlık yönünü inceleyen az sayıda felsefecinin arasında olduğuna dikkat çekmek istemiştir. Bir yandan sadik üslubun etkisinde kalan Charles Baudelaire ve Gustave Flaubert gibi edebiyatçılardan örnekler verilirken, bir yandan da görsel sanatlarda sadik etkinin yarattığı devrim, adım adım incelenmiştir. emsildeki hiyerarşinin ve kuralların yıkılması ile Sadik bedenlerin, arzunun vahşi ve acımasız yasasının etkisi altındaki imgeleri, Edgar Degas, Eugéne Delacroix, August Rodin ve daha bir çok sanatçıya, cinsel imgelemin biçimsel özgürleşmesi adına öncü oluşu örneklerle gösterilmiştir.The fact that humankind-who was been using the knowledge he has acquired from nature as a means to dominate over nature and people -has know become an object to be experimented on, and the rebellious force of art in attainning the truth in the presence of an order that determines the human-object relationships characterised by its will to power has urged us to study Marquis de Sade one more, Marquis de Sade once more, after a hundred and fifty years. The author in question has been able to put across a distinct opinion about culture and nature, and managed to create a unique language with a new way of felling and thinking, and used this authentic language as the weapon of his rebellion. The "Sade. Attaquer le soleil" exhibition held at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris in 2015, which focused on Marquis de Sade, formss the trajectory that this study shall follow in examining the Sadic style as a resource that prompts the content and form works of art in the transition from textual culture to visual culture. Curated by a Marquis de Sade speacialist of thirty-years, writes and critic Annie Le Brun, the exhibition was centering on the texts by Marquis de Sade, who lived between 1740-1814, alongside anecdotes from other thinkers and philosophers, and examples of works reflecting these thoughts in visual arts. In this study we examine Sade's view of culture and nature in light of other philosophical references, the original language of Sade created with a new way of feeling and thinking and potent with limitless negation and repudiation that knows no bounds, and the way his legacy has been interpreted by artists and art movements that followed, with examples. In the first part of this study we carried out an analysis of the philosophy of nature that Marquis de Sade presents while completely demolishing the impositions of conventional ethics. While examining the definitions of good and evil, Eros and Thanatos, and pleasure and pain in a comparative manner with other philosophical references and Marquis de Sade's philosophy of nature, we arrived at the conclusion that although these concepts seem to function in opposition to one another, they actually render each other visible. We enquired into the differences that make up the unique style of this author, who spent thirty years of his life behind prison walls in a world deovid of anyone else. While the philosophical meanings he ascribed to everyday elements such as food, money and clothing in the closed universe he designed, constituted the distinctive features of his style, his mastery of the use of language in the expression of the positive content of perversity in a rational framework, as if with a scientefic purpose, rendered the author to change the entire realm of ars erotica. The sparks created by the style of Marquis de Sade that way ahead of his contemporaries, and their reverberations in the interactions within the different branches of art that led to a mutual advancement, resulted in a expression of the impossible thorough a new instrument against the estabilished culture. The style of the author, which transcends beyond time, still continues to reveal itself in examples of contemporary art.Marquis de Sade: Yaşamı ve EserleriYaşamıEserleriMarquis de Sade Felsefesinin Yapıtaşları: Düa listik Karşılaşmalar ve Görsel İfadeleriİyinin ve Kötünün ÖtesindeEros ve ThanatosHaz ve AcıGüç istenciSanat ve BaşkaldırıBaşkasının Olmadığı DünyaMarquis de Sade’ın Edebi Üslubu ve Görsel sanatlara etkileriTasarlanamazı TasarlarkenDilin İçinde Dil Olmayanın Ortaya ÇıkışıPornooloji ve Marquis de Sad

    archy and mehitabel

    Archy and Mehitabel are two inimitable characters — a philosophical cockroach who types out free verse correspondence by dive-bombing the keys and an insouciant feline dancer out to take life for all it is worth, ever the lady and “toujours gai.” Created by Don Marquis and popularized in the New York Sun and New York Herald-Tribune 1916–1922, their best-loved exploits and musings are captured in this marvellous collection of 48 episodes, and illustrated with 29 cartoon drawings by George Herriman. Archy sees the universe at an entirely different angle, and humanity is measured against its miniature insect reflections. We meet cats and rats, spiders and flies, toads, robins, worms, a merry flea, a dissipated hornet, a froward lady bug, plus ghosts and echoes of dramatists, poets, historical figures, and the nightly denizens of the underworlds and alleys of New York, London, and gay Paris. Humorist Don Marquis (1878–1937) was a novelist, poet, columnist, playwright, and author of more than 25 books. Cartoonist George Herriman (1880–1944) is best known as the creator of Krazy Kat. doi:10.32873/unl.dc.zea.1343https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/zeabook/1138/thumbnail.jp

    Ange Goudar : Four unpublished letters to the Marquis de Sade, presented by Maurice Lever. Sade met Pierre-Ange Goudar, writer and adventurer, in 1775 during his flight to Italy after the "little girls" affair. An exchange of letters followed ; four of them, from the Sade family archives, are published here. Goudar expresses his opinions of Rome, Naples and Florence, his reflections on Cardinal Bernis and the Count of Saint-Germain, and speaks about his wife Sarah and his own writings. These unpublished pages reveal a hitherto totally unknown literary friendship between the author of Justine and another libertine called Goudar.Lever Maurice.

    Screening the Marquis de Sade: Pleasure, Pain and the Transgressive Body in Film

    No full text
    Since their publication, the works of the Marquis de Sade have challenged the reading public with a philosophy of relentless physical transgression. This is the first book-length academic study by a single author that applies the philosophy of the Marquis de Sade to the analysis of a wide array of film texts. By employing Sade’s controversial body-oriented philosophy within film analysis, this book provides a new understanding of notions of pain, pleasure, and the representation of the transgressive body in film. Whereas many analyses have used theory to excuse and thus dilute the power of sexual and violent images, the author has here sought to examine cinematic representations of human relations as unflinchingly as Sade did in his novels
