Louis-Ferdinand Celine and the Magic of Words
No full textThe article is related the idea of the so-called "aesthetic revolution in language" by Celine. The author focuses on the peculiaritiees Celine's new language, namely the fusion of conversational and literary elements, the introduction of argot and neologisms, the special meaning of rhythm, intonation and speech melody which have an amportant impact. The writer constructs his phrases in accordance with the image of the hostile and aggressive world. Applying the complex method of research (comparative-historical, biographical, hermeneutic and intertextual), the author discloses the uniqueness of Celine's language. Celine destroyed the monopoly of the standard literary language conclusively. Moreover, Celine created a "new syntax" - "a language within language" - that helps the reader hear and see the world without either explaning anything or imposing any interpretation

Truth and untruth: Louis-Ferdinand Céline's Voyage au bout de la nuit and the memory of the Great War 1914-1918
No full textThis thesis examines Louis-Ferdinand Celine’s 1932 novel Voyage au bout de la nuit as a rewriting of his memory of the Great War 1914-1918. It seeks to resolve the truth problematic posed by the inversion in Voyage au bout de la nuit of Celine’s experience in the war, primarily the transition from Celine’s heroism in the war to his fictional self-portrait as the coward, Bardamu. It seeks to clarify the role and value of Celine’s fictional witness to war by placing the novel in a broadly developed context of the war and its commemoration. A major premise of this thesis is that Celine was traumatised by the war and that his rewriting of his war experience is informed by his need to break free of traumatised memory through the creation of a new, literary narrative of his personal past. By drawing on the literature of trauma and survival, as well as on studies of the Great War and other wars, this thesis succeeds in establishing that Celine was, indeed, traumatised by his war experience and succeeds in showing the many ways in which this trauma shapes Voyage. It also provides a thorough account of how Voyage as literary artefact engages with the memory of the Great War and how it functions as witness to war and the consequence of war. It brings us ultimately towards the dynamic of accusation which lies at the heart of Celine’s traumatic memory of the Great War and which underlies its keynotes of irony, satire and invective. This thesis is multi-disciplinary in its approach, drawing on historical, biographical, psychological, and literary studies. It provides an important contribution to Celine studies, but also to studies of the Great War, the memory and literature of the Great War and to studies of twentieth-century trauma, memory and identity

Braving the blue ocean: Investigating the corporate strategy of Celine Marketing Corporation
No full textThis study examined the strategic approach of a homegrown corporation, Celine Marketing Corporation, highlighting the corporate strategies of the firm. The research likewise questioned the possible application and contribution of Kim and Mauborgne\u27s Blue Ocean Strategy to the organization. Since the author had internal access with the company, the researcher participated in the organization and facilitated an action research study to answer these inquiries. The researcher triangulated the results and further used it for pattern matching, alongside the utilization of the SWOT analysis to examine the organizational resources and capabilities of the firm.
Consequently, the actual results showed the company made use of one of the Six Paths that aided in the creation of blue oceans. This implied that the concept of the Blue Ocean Strategy can be applied to the company, and subsequently contribute to the development of the firm. The author, in collaboration with the research participants analyzed the data and put certain directives into action. The researcher and kingpins subsequently reviewed these strategies in compliance with the nature of action research. Finally, the author created three blue oceans for the three brands of the corporation, namely, Celine, CMG, and SO!FAB. This investigation therefore presents an interesting discussion for entrepreneurs as well as corporate workers. The researcher recommends the auxiliary studies on the Blue Ocean Strategy will further solidify its application and contribution to the local setting
Adversarial Authorship Attribution in Open-Source Projects
No full textOpen-source software is open to anyone by design, whether it is a community of developers, hackers or malicious users. Authors of open-source software typically hide their identity through nicknames and avatars. However, they have no protection against authorship attribution techniques that are able to create software author profiles just by analyzing software characteristics. In this paper we present an author imitation attack that allows to deceive current authorship attribution systems and mimic a coding style of a target developer. Withing this context we explore the potential of the existing attribution techniques to be deceived. Our results show that we are able to imitate the coding style of the developers based on the data collected from the popular source code repository, GitHub. To subvert author imitation attack, we propose a novel author obfuscation approach that allows us to hide the coding style of the author. Unlike existing obfuscation tools, this new obfuscation technique uses transformations that preserve code readability. We assess the effectiveness of our attacks on several datasets produced by actual developers from GitHub, and participants of the GoogleCodeJam competition. Throughout our experiments we show that the author hiding can be achieved by making sensible transformations which significantly reduce the likelihood of identifying the author’s style to 0% by current authorship attribution systems
:Social Norms Information Treatments in the Municipal Water Supply Sector Some New Insights on Benefits and Costs
No full textJEL Codes: L95, D61, D80Social norms comparisons are tools that are being used more and more often by energy and water utilities all over the world in order to induce households to conserve resources. Such conservation programs are appealing to utilities because they are an easy-to-implement alternative to raising prices and commonly result in short-term reductions in energy and water use of about 2-5%. However, the welfare effects of social norms programs are rarely discussed and assessed, especially in the context of municipal water supply. The purpose of this article is to propose a framework for identifying the costs and benefits of social norms comparisons and to provide plausible estimates for these components in the municipal water supply sector, using current knowledge for both developing and industrialized countries. Our calculations show that the outcome of a benefit-cost analysis of a social norms information treatment is highly uncertain and location-specific. We also present a simple benefit-cost analysis of a price increase that would lead to an equivalent initial reduction in household water use. The latter is found to be more likely to generate net benefits to the society as a whole in low- and middle-income countries, but we show that, in this case, households would have to bear most of the costs
The Flesh Made Word: Bodily Inscription and Religion in <i>Celine et Julie Vont en Bateau</i>
No full textIn Celine et Julie Vont en Bateau Jacques Rivette works through his discomfort with the theological function of the author, a discomfort stemming from the material effects of authorship on the bodies of his actors. Examples of bodily incision and bruising proliferate throughout the film, part of a process of violent characterization imposed by an authoring demiurge. The film explores several methods of escape from this process, starting with exotic travel and fairy tales, but culminates around repeated allusions to the crucifixion of Christ. The film advances a heretical Christology by positing God as a sadistic author and the wounded body of Christ as the paradigmatic example of being inscribed as a character against one’s will. As this characterization obviously engenders being inscribed in a narrative as well, the structure of the film probes at the notion of both Christianity and narrative cinema as means of escape
