A critical edition of Derek Walcott's Omeros
Get PDFThe thesis is a Critical Edition of Derek Walcott’s Omeros, consisting of a Critical
Introduction and Annotations. The Critical Introduction analyses:
- Narrative
- Settings
- Metaphor and Paronomasia
- Symbolism
- Historiography
- Intertexts
- Dualism
- Autobiography
- Dialects
- Prosody.
The Annotations comment on more than 1000 references that may be obscure and on
specifics of narrative, language and prosody.
This study presents new conclusions about some aspects of Omeros:
- It challenges the prevailing view that the work is written substantially in a
variation of terza rima and shows that regular quatrains predominate.
- It demonstrates ways in which the metrics follow the sense of the narrative and
takes a more balanced position on the use of Caribbean as opposed to classical
metrics than that put forward previously.
- It identifies a paragraphic structure to the verse.
- It proposes a new prosodic structure for the significant Chapter XXX/iii.
- It extends Walcott’s recognised use of numerology into word counting the
names of characters.
- It develops the idea of Walcott’s dualism and his use of pairing and
contradiction as a dialectical method.
- It defines his wide use of paronomasia and shows that many of the puns have a
metaphorical aspect beyond mere word-play.
- It analyses some of Walcott’s symbolism.
- It identifies intertextual links to his earlier works and to some thirty other
writers, and suggests homage to Hemingway and possibly Heaney.
- It provides the first complete analysis of Walcott’s rhyme types in Omeros.
In its analysis of Omeros and in the Annotations it has included commentary from
across the critical literature, to provide some sense of other views on Walcott’s
writing, and has included as many as possible of Walcott’s own comments on Omeros
and on the writer’s task, as a background to understanding the poem
Inhuman educations : Jean-François Lyotard, pedagogy, thought
No full textIn the first monograph on Lyotard and education, Derek R. Ford approaches Lyotard\u27s thought as pedagogical in itself. The result is a novel, soft, and accessible study of Lyotard organized around two inhuman educations: that of the system and that of the human. The former enforces an interminable process of development, dialogue and exchange, while the latter finds its force in the mute, secret, opaque, and inarticulable. Threading together a range of Lyotard\u27s work through four pedagogical processes-reading, writing, voicing, and listening-the author insists on the distinct educational logics that can uphold or interrupt different ways of being-together in the world, touching on a range of topics from literacy and aesthetics to time and political-economy. While Inhuman Educations can serve as an introduction to Lyotard\u27s philosophy, it also constitutes a singular, provocative, and fresh take on his thought -- Provided by publishe

Author Co-Citation Analysis (ACA): a powerful tool for representing implicit knowledge of scholar knowledge workers
Get PDFIn the last decade, knowledge has emerged as one of the most important and valuable organizational assets. Gradually this importance caused to emergence of new discipline entitled ―knowledge management‖. However one of the major challenges of knowledge management is conversion implicit or tacit knowledge to explicit knowledge. Thus Making knowledge visible so that it can be better accessed, discussed, valued or generally managed is a long-standing objective in knowledge management. Accordingly in this paper author co- citation analysis (ACA) will be proposed as an efficient technique of knowledge visualization in academia (Scholar knowledge workers)
Positron-annihilation study of equilibrium defects in Al-Cu-Fe face-centered-icosahedral quasicrystals
No full textIn situ Doppler-broadening temperature scans and room temperature positron-lifetime measurements are reported for Al63CU25Fe12, Al62.5CU25Fe12.5, Al62CU25.5Fe12.5, and Al62Cu22.8Fe15.2 face-centered-icosahedral (FCI) quasicrystalline samples. Quenched-in disorder has been observed and found to anneal out of the samples above 200 degrees C. A quasicrystal-to-microcrystal phase transition has been observed in two of the samples (Al63Cu25Fe12 and Al62Cu22.8Fe15.2), indicating an instability of the FCI phase at low temperatures. No such transition is observed in the other two samples (Al62.5CU25Fe12.5 and Al62Cu25.5Fe12.5). It is shown that intrinsic structural vacancies, possessing only Al-atom nearest neighbors, exist in both the microcrystal and FCI phases and act as saturation traps for the positrons. At similar to 200 degrees C, thermal activation of dynamic Al-atom phasons in the FCI phase results in distortions of the intrinsic structural vacancies as the nearest neighbor Al atoms begin to hop within double-well potentials. At higher temperatures (525-750 degrees C depending upon the sample stoichiometry) dynamic Cu-atom phasons are activated and observed to coincide with the onset of plasticity in the FCI phase.PT: J; CR: AUDIER M, 1986, PHILOS MAG B, V54, L105 AUDIER M, 1991, PHILOS MAG B, V63, P1375 AUDIER M, 1993, J NON-CRYST SOLIDS, V153, P591 BELIN E, 1993, J NONCRYST SOLIDS, V153, P298 BELLISSENT R, 1993, J NON-CRYST SOLIDS, V153, P1 BESSIERE M, 1991, J PHYS I, V1, P1823 BRESSON L, 1993, J NONCRYST SOLIDS, V153, P468 BURKOV SE, 1992, J PHYS-CONDENS MAT, V4, P9447 CALVAYRAC Y, 1990, J PHYS-PARIS, V51, P417 CHIDAMBARAM R, 1990, B AM PHYS SOC, V35, P331 CHIDAMBARAM R, 1990, J PHYS-CONDENS MAT, V2, P251 CHIDAMBARAM R, 1990, J PHYS-CONDENS MAT, V2, P9941 CHIDAMBARAM R, 1993, PHYS REV B, V48, P3030 CODDENS G, 1991, EUROPHYS LETT, V16, P271 CODDENS G, 1993, EUROPHYS LETT, V154, P557 CODDENS G, 1993, EUROPHYS LETT, V23, P33 CORNIERQUIQUAND.M, 1993, J NONCRYST SOLIDS, V154, P10 DENOYER F, 1990, J PHYS-PARIS, V51, P651 DENOYER F, 1993, J NON-CRYST SOLIDS, V153, P595 DIVINCENZO DP, 1993, J NONCRYST SOL, V153, P145 DUNLAP RA, 1987, J PHYS F MET PHYS, V17, L39 ELSER V, 1985, PHYS REV LETT, V55, P2883 HABERKERN R, 1993, J NON-CRYST SOLIDS, V153, P303 HAUTOJARVI P, 1977, PHILOS MAG, V35, P973 HOWELL RH, 1992, MATER SCI FORUM, V105, P651 ISHIMASA T, 1990, PHIL MAG LETT, V62, P357 JANOT C, 1991, EUROPHYS LETT, V14, P355 KAN XB, 1993, J NON-CRYST SOLIDS, V153, P33 KANAZAWA I, 1990, J NON-CRYST SOLIDS, V117, P793 KANAZAWA I, 1992, MATER SCI FORUM, V105, P1093 KANG SS, 1992, PHILOS MAG A, V66, P151 KATZ A, 1991, PHYS REV B, V44, P2071 KIRKEGAARD P, 1974, COMPUT PHYS COMMUN, V7, P401 KIZUKA T, 1989, PHYS REV B, V40, P796 KLEIN T, 1991, PHYS REV LETT, V66, P2907 KLEIN T, 1993, J NON-CRYST SOLIDS, V153, P312 KLEIN T, 1993, J NON-CRYST SOLIDS, V153, P562 KOSTER U, 1993, J NONCRYST SOLIDS, V153, P446 KRISTIAKOVA K, 1992, MATER SCI FORUM, V105, P1113 LAWTHER DW, 1990, J PHYS-CONDENS MAT, V2, P6239 LAWTHER DW, 1993, J NONCRYST SOLIDS, V154, P611 LAWTHER DW, 1993, KEY ENG MATER, V81, P95 LINDQVIST P, 1993, PHYS REV B, V48, P630 MOTSCH T, 1992, J PHYS I, V2, P861 NIEMINEN RM, 1983, POSITRON SOLID STATE, P359 OHATA T, 1990, PHYS REV B, V42, P6730 PAULING L, 1938, PHYS REV, V54, P899 PIERCE FS, 1993, PHYS REV B, V47, P5670 POON SJ, 1992, ADV PHYS, V41, P303 QUILICHINI M, 1993, J NONCRYST SOLIDS, V153, P568 QUIVY A, 1993, J NONCRYST SOLIDS, V153, P482 SADOC A, 1993, J NONCRYST SOLIDS, V153, P338 SAHNOUNE A, 1993, J NONCRYST SOLIDS, V153, P343 SANYAL MK, 1989, J PHYS-CONDENS MATT, V1, P3733 SEEGER A, 1987, PHYS STATUS SOLIDI A, V102, P171 SEEGER A, 1989, POSITRON ANNIHILATIO, P275 SHASTRI A, 1993, J NON-CRYST SOLIDS, V153, P347 SHI D, 1992, MATER SCI FORUM, V110, P829 SHIELD JE, 1992, PHYSICS CHEM FINITE, V1, P125 STEPHENS PW, 1986, PHYS REV LETT, V56, P1168 TSAI AP, 1987, J MATER SCI LETT, V6, P1403 TSAI AP, 1990, PHIL MAG LETT, V61, P9 WANG K, 1993, J NONCRYST SOLIDS, V153, P357 WASEDA A, 1993, J NON-CRYST SOLIDS, V153, P635; NR: 64; TC: 17; J9: PHYS REV B; PG: 7; GA: MW349Source type: Electronic(1
Narrative art and act in the fourth gospel: aspects of the Johannine point of view
Get PDFThis thesis assumes that the narrative form of the Fourth Gospel is important for understanding the Gospel's meaning. Narrative is a communicative transaction whereby meaning is transmitted from author to reader via the way the story is told. Meaning is also established by overt speech-acts, and the 'act' performed in the overall structuring of the story. It arises within a context of rule-governed speech behaviour which determines parameters and implications that inform understanding. The Gospel's narrative form meets with readers' conventional expectations about how it relates to ostensive historical reality. Factors internal and external help determine genre. Part one examines aspects of the Gospel's narrative art. The way in which the narrative situation varies over the course of the narrative is outlined. The implied author manipulates the narration to create a close association in the reader’s mind between the narrator and the beloved disciple. In John 3 the voice of the narrator merges with those of Jesus and John. These strategies have implications for the Gospel's theological meaning and the relationship of the implied author to the story world. Speech-act theory elucidates the narrative act by which the implied author conveys the Gospel's message and seeks to induce belief in the reader. Part two considers the Gospel's relationship to historical reference. Factors which influence a decision as to whether or not the Gospel is to be taken as fictional are examined, for example, whether aspects of the narration suggest fictional discourse and whether the speech-acts operate within a 'pretended' world. Descriptive categories for the Gospel as natural narrative and 'display text' are proposed, as is a flexible model of genre, which modulates the poles of 'fiction' and 'history'. An analysis of the Temple Cleansing pericope provides illustration of the Gospel’s status as an historically-based, theological display text
