Ztvárnění homosexuality v románu Huangren shouji spisovatelky Zhu Tianwen
No full textThis bachelor thesis focuses on the novel Notes of a Desolate Man (Huang ren shouji 荒人手記, 2011) by Taiwanese author Zhu Tianwen 朱天文 (born 1956). The thesis will briefly introduce the literary-historical background of the era, including the short biography of the author, her work and literary influences. The core of the bachelor thesis is a detailed motivational-thematic analysis of the novel Notes of a Desolate Man with a focus on homotextuality, ie. literary depiction of homosexual experience. The thesis analyses the motives and strategies that the author used to portray homosexuality and evaluates the extent to which these "notes" of the man-gay narrator are the personal testimony of Zhu Tianwen as a woman in contemporary society and as an author. Keywords: Chu T'ien-wen, Zhu Tianwen, Huangren shouji, Notes of a Desolate Man, Taiwanese literature, Tongzhi wenxue, homosexuality, homotextualityPredmetom tejto bakalárskej práce je román Zápisky rozvráteného muža (Huang ren shouji 荒人手記 , 2011) od taiwanskej autorky Zhu Tianwen 朱天文(nar. 1956). V práci v stručnosti predstavíme literárne-historické pozadie tej doby, vrátane krátkeho životopisu autorky, jej literárneho diela a vplyvoch na jej tvorbu. Jadrom bakalárskej práce je podrobná motivicko-tematická analýza diela so zameraním na homotextualitu, teda literárne zobrazovanie homosexuálnej skúsenosti. Budeme analyzovať motívy a stratégie, ktoré autorka používala na stvárnenie aktu rovnako pohlavnej intimity a zhodnotíme do akej miery sú tieto "zápisky" rozprávača muža-homosexuála, osobnou výpoveďou názorov Zhu Tianwen ako ženy v súčasnej spoločnosti a aj ako autorky.

ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF FABRICATED TUBULAR BEAM-COLUMNS
No full textRecent increase of using fabricated tubular members requires more information about the strength and behavior of fabricated tubular column. It contains imperfections that are far more complicated than the hot-rolled members. The current design codes, such as AISC, however, do not consider fabricated tubular members. To fill this lack, the analytical investigation is carried out here to establish analytical models for studying the strength and behavior of fabricated tubular members and to develop design formulas for practical use. The work in this report consists of four parts. In PART I, the basic behavior of tubular section and the strength of tubular beam-column are studied considering the effects of residual stresses, out-of-roundness and out-of-straightness. Design formulas for the sectional capacity and the column strength are also derived. The fabricated tubular members are commonly used in offshore structures. An additional consideration is necessary for hydrostatic pressure when the structure is used in deep water. In PART II, the effect of external pressure on the strength and behavior of fabricated tubular members is investigated. If was found that the external pressure reduces the load carrying capacity of the section and column to some degree when the pressure is large. Further, the offshore structures are so designed that the structures can resist the extreme environmental loading conditions, such as earthquake or wave. In other words, the offshore structures are usually designed by their ultimate strength. In this respect, the strength and behavior of each component of the structure must be known in advance to study the strength of the structure. In PART III, the post-buckling behavior is studied using simplified method, so-called assumed deflection method, which is found not only simple to use but also reasonably accurate and suitable for parametric study. Also, in PART IV, the cyclic behavior of fabricated tubular columns is studied for both pin-ended and fix-ended beam-columns under 1-cycle of loading. In the studies, comparisons are made between the theoretical results and tests and other analytical solutions to verify the developed analytical models by using the computer program. It was found that the developed analytical models can predict the behaviors of tubular beam-columns with good accuracy. Also, numerous data are obtained to present typical behavior of fabricated tubes loaded monotonically and cyclically

Bringing Out “Roland Barthes” From Chu T'ien-Wen's <i>Notes of a Desolate Man</i> (<i>Huangren Shouji</i>)
No full textThis essay attempts to “bring out” Roland Barthes as an unnamable textual figure in the Taiwanese writer Chu T'ien-wen's Huangren shouji (Notes of a Desolate Man). Chu's “gay novel” is notorious for its narrator's seemingly inexhaustible references to a legion of writers, film directors, thinkers, and artists from across the globe. Among these encyclopedic references are allusions to Barthes's writings, most notably A Lover's Discourse: Fragments and The Pleasure of the Text. However, when the narrator of Chu's novel quotes from The Pleasure of the Text, he apparently forgets who he is quoting. In fact, the name “Roland Barthes” is elided throughout the novel. As a result, Barthes seems to become an unnamable figure in the novel, occupying the textual non-place usually reserved for homosexuality itself. To bring out “Roland Barthes,” this essay explores the intertextual space between Chu and Barthes. It uses Barthes's theorization of “text” and “intertextuality” to demonstrate that the seemingly endless — and controversial — quotations and references in Chu's novel are connected to its concern with promiscuous homosexuality. It thus serves as an alternative reading to Ng Kim Chew's influential essay on Chu, which “heterosexualizes” Chu's novel through an author-centered biographical approach. Barthes's textual theory, by contrast, dismisses the relevance of the author's intention and problematizes the use of the author's biography in reading a text. This essay follows his encouragement to play with the signifiers of a text (including the author's “biographemes”) so as to generate meanings unforeseen by the author. Ultimately, the unforeseen textual echoes between Chu's novel and Barthes's text almost (but not quite) produce the perverse and impossible enunciation “I am Roland Barthes.”</jats:p
