Perpetual Thriving
Authors: Xiangchen Sun
Published: June 2019

The relevance of Heidegger’s existentialist analysis of Dasein does not consist in its exhaustive understanding of man’s existential structure but in its suspension of cultural tradition by means of phenomenological reduction in order to show an existentialist aspect of that structure, namely being-toward-death. The Chinese cultural tradition, however, discloses another existentialist feature of man, namely perpetual thriving or shengshengbuxi. We intend to separate the existential experience from the exposition of that cultural tradition in order to make an existentialist analysis of perpetual thriving and thus to demonstrate a different existential horizon: here Dasein is no longer uncanny but is at home from the beginning; family is not only a basic form of social organization but represents an existential structure that passes from generation to generation; filial piety, the principal virtue in the family, reveals the continuity characteristic of life as well as the generative mechanism of ethics in the Chinese cultural tradition. Moreover, the analysis of the continuity of life in terms of perpetual thriving also shows the existentialist generative mechanism of politics, ethics, Bildung, attitude to life, and sense of history.

Published: June 2019

Mesoporous silica (MPS) and MPS-Fe composite was prepared via sol–gel technique and characterized by BET, FTIR, XRD, SEM and pZc. The MPS and MPS-Fe adsorption efficiencies were evaluated for a cationic dye Turquoise-blue X-GB. The MPS-Fe composite showed pore size and BET values of 9.52 nm and 309 m2/g, respectively. XRD and SEM analysis revealed the amorphous nature and uniform distribution of spherical partciles with average particle size of 50 nm of MPS-Fe composite. The points of zero (pZc) charge found to be 2.3 and 6.3 for MPS and MPS-Fe, respectively. The MPS and MPS-Fe showed promising efficiency for the adsorption of Turquoise-blue X-GB as a function of medium pH, contact time, dye initial concentration and temperature. Among, Freundlich, Langmuir, Harkins–Jura, Temkin, Doubinin–Radushkevich isotherms, the Turquoise-blue X-GB followed Langmuir isothermal model with adsorption capacities of 83.34 mg/g and 74.07 mg/g for MPS and MPS-Fe composite, respectively. Among kinetics models, pseudo second order kinetic model fitted to the dye adsorption with R2 values of 0.998 and 0.988 for MPS and MPS-Fe composite, respectively. The negative values of enthalpy (ΔH) and free energy (ΔG) revealed exothermic and spontaneous adsorption of dye at room temperature. Results revealed that MPS and MPS-Fe composite have promising potential for Turquoise-blue X-GB dye adsorption and could possibly be extended for the adsorption of dyes from textile effluents.
Central Substance P Attenuates RF-amid-related Peptide-3 Impacts on the Serum Level of Luteinizing Hormone in Wistar Rats
Authors: Rahdar Parastoo , Khazali Homayoun
Published: June 2019

Introduction: It is well-established that gonadotropin-inhibitory hormone (GnIH) and its mammalian orthologues (RFRP: RF-amid related peptides) can decrease gonadotrophin secretion. Moreover, substance P (SP) is another modulator of the secretion of gonadotropins in a species-dependent manner. This study aimed to find out the impacts of concomitant infusion of RFRP-3 and SP on luteinizing hormone (LH) concentration. Methods: Forty-two rats were arbitrarily assigned to 7 groups (n=6 per group). Animals in the experimental groups were intracerebroventricularly injected with saline +DMSO, SP, RFRP-3, SP + RFRP-3, SP + RF9 (RFRP-3 receptor antagonist), SP + P234 (kisspeptin receptor antagonist) + RFRP-3 and SP + CP-96,345 (SP receptor antagonist) + RFRP-3 in a final volume of 3 µL. Blood samples were collected at 30-minute intervals after injections, and serum was used to measure the LH concentration by radioimmunoassay. Results: According to the results, injections led to the elevation of LH serum concentration at 30-minute post injection (P<0.05) in the SP and SP+RF9 groups. Moreover, administration of either RFRP-3 or SP + RFRP-3 + SP receptor antagonist strikingly decreased the LH mean serum concentration at 30-minute after injections (P<0.05). On the contrary, the infusion of SP+RFRP-3 and SP+RFRP-3+P234 caused no dramatic changes in the LH mean serum concentration. Conclusion: In general, the data showed that SP suppresses the impacts of RFRP-3 on the serum levels of LH.

Published: June 2019

Introduction: Inadequate awareness and knowledge exists regarding the effects of stimulant drugs on renal health among athletes. The present study aimed to determine the effects of methylphenidate, as a stimulant drug, and aerobic exercise on renal function in rats. Materials and Methods: Eighty male rats were randomly divided into 8 groups (n=10 per group) including control (Co), aerobic exercise sham (AE Sh), drug sham (D Sh), aerobic exercise (AE), the effective dose of drug (ED, 10 mg/kg), 3 times of effective dose (TED, 30 mg/kg), aerobic exercise-effective dose (AE-ED), and aerobic exercise-three times of effective dose (AE-TED). The drug was orally administrated to the animals, and then they were placed on a rat treadmill after 30 minutes. The physical activity (25 m/min) was performed 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week for two months. Twenty-four hours after the last session of AE, blood samples were taken from the rats and serum creatinine (Cr) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were determined. Results: The results showed that serum Cr and BUN levels were not significantly different in the exercise group compared to the control groups (i.e., Co, AE Sham, and D Sham). However, serum BUN and Cr significantly increased in the AE-ED and AE-TED groups compared to the AE group (PCr=0.001 and PBUN=0.001). Conclusion: In general, significant increases in the serum BUN and Cr levels in rats received methylphenidate indicated decreased renal function in these animals.
The Effect of 8-Week Aerobic Exercise on the Expression of Regulatory Subunits of NADPH Oxidase 2 (p47phox and p67phox) in the Cardiac Tissue of Diabetic Rats
Authors: Taghi Beigi Hamid , Esfarjani Fahimeh , Marandi Seyed Mohammad , Karami Hadi
Published: June 2019

Introduction: Oxidative stress seems to play a major role in diabetes-induced cardiac dysfunction, known as diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase 2 is considered as one of the main enzymatic systems which primarily contributes to the production of reactive oxygen species in various organs including the heart. The present study aimed to investigate the effects of 8 weeks of aerobic exercise (AE) on the expression of p47phox and p67phox, which are regarded as the regulatory subunits of NADPH oxidase 2 in the cardiac tissue in diabetic rats. Methods: A total of 36 male Wistar rats with a mean weight of 231±25 g were randomly divided into non-diabetic, control diabetic, and trained diabetic groups (each containing 12 rats). Nicotinamide and streptozotocin were used to induce diabetes in the rats. The cardiac muscle was removed under sterile conditions 48 hours following the last training session. Finally, the mRNA levels of p47phox and p67phox were evaluated using the real-time polymerase chain reaction. Results: The results showed that diabetes induction significantly increased the gene expressions of p47phox and p67phox in the cardiac tissue of diabetic rats. The expression of these genes was significantly attenuated after 8 weeks of AE. Conclusion: In general, AE was found to prevent the negative effects of diabetes by suppressing p47phox and p67phox in the cardiac tissue of diabetic rats. Therefore, this can improve cardiac function and may be a potential preventive or therapeutic modality for DCM.

Published: June 2019

In this investigation, solid-state indirect diffusion couples (IDCs) were prepared between stainless steel (SS) 304 and Ti6Al4V using a niobium (Nb) interlayer of 200 µm thickness from 850°C to 950°C using uniaxial compressive pressure (∼4 MPa) for 60 min under high vacuum of 10−3 Pa. Microstructural analysis along the Nb|SS-304 interfaces of IDCs processed at 875°C–950°C revealed layer-wise iron–niobium-based intermetallics like Fe2Nb and FeNb + (Nb), apart from these reaction layers IDCs processed at 925°C revealed a (Nb) reaction layer, and IDCs processed at 950°C revealed both (Nb) and γFe + σ reaction layers. IDCs processed at all processing temperatures revealed solid solution behavior along Ti6Al4V|Nb interfaces. Thermodynamic analysis showed that the diffusion mechanism at the Ti6Al4V|Nb interface is quite functionally easier than the diffusion mechanism observed at the Nb|SS-304 interface. Empirical atomic diffusivity (D) characteristics of Nb|SS-304 interface and Ti6Al4V|Nb interfaces are ∼1.957 × 10−14 m2/s and ∼9.197 × 10−14 m2/s, respectively, for the IDCs processed at 950°C. The observed maximum hardness at the Ti6Al4V|Nb interface was ∼300 HV; whereas hardness at the Nb|SS-304 interface is found to be ∼200 HV and ∼650 HV for IDCs processed at 850°C and at 875°C and above, respectively. A maximum strength of ∼372 MPa (tensile) and ∼241 MPa (shear), along with ∼4.5 % ductility, was noticed for the IDCs processed at 875°C. The presence of two reaction layers: FeNb + (Nb) and Fe2Nb at the Nb|SS-304 interfaces improved the strength properties of the IDCs. Strength properties of the IDCs processed at 950°C deteriorated because of the presence of σ phase. Using diffraction studies, hardness property, and fracture behavior, it was established that the IDCs failed because of the propagation of crack, apparently along iron–niobium-based intermetallic reaction layers at Nb|SS-304 interfaces.
Longitudinal Associations of Narcissism with Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Institutional Outcomes: An Investigation Using a Representative Sample of the German Population
Authors: Leckelt Marius , Richter David , Wetzel Eunike , Back Mitja D.
Published: June 2019

Most studies have treated grandiose narcissism as a unidimensional construct and investigated its associations in cross-sectional convenience samples. The present research systematically addresses these limitations by investigating the associations of agentic and antagonistic aspects of narcissism in the interpersonal, intrapersonal, and institutional domains, cross-sectionally and longitudinally in a population-representative sample. We used data (N = 1,526) from the representative, longitudinal German Socio-economic Panel study innovation sample (SOEP-IS). Both pre-registered and exploratory research questions regarding interpersonal, intrapersonal, and institutional outcomes of agentic and antagonistic aspects of narcissism were tested. Cross-sectional associations generally confirmed the differential adaptivity of narcissism aspects: While agentic narcissism was related tofriendship, happiness, self-esteem, employment, leadership and income, antagonistic narcissism was negatively related tointrapsychic adjustment. Longitudinally, agentic aspects were positively associated with holding a leadership position while the antagonistic aspects were related to lowerself-esteem and being unemployed. Additional differentiated longitudinal associations were found for different age groups with most associations being more pronounced in middle adulthood. The present research highlights the importance of studying grandiose narcissism as a two-dimensional construct, in populations that are diverse and representative of the broader population, and with outcomes relevant to the population studied.
Paradox and Paraliminality of (Im)Migration
Authors: de la Garza Sarah Amira
Published: June 2019

To repair the injury and stifled agency caused by master narratives of migration stories, I call for narratives that specifically counter storying that reflects the master narrative. This narrative repair acknowledges narrative fatigue, embraces paradoxical tensions of migration, and assumes the paraliminality of migration (a constant overarching state of transition, which in histories of migration, often exists without the aid of supportive community). Abandoning the idea that evocative laments and critiques are enough for empowerment, I call for the embrace of difficult and contradictory narratives told simply, as the foundation for strengthening identities and providing dynamic stability.
Slavery and Construction at the Royal Palace of Caserta
Authors: Thomas Robin L.
Published: June 2019

In documenting architecture's history, scholars have frequently overlooked the use of slave labor. In Slavery and Construction at the Royal Palace of Caserta, Robin L. Thomas examines the lives of the slaves who built the palace, begun in 1752 near Naples. Most of the slaves employed there were Muslim corsairs who had been captured at sea, and they were caught up in long-standing political and religious conflicts between the Two Sicilies and the Maghreb states. Converting these Muslim captives to Christianity became a key part of the Neapolitan court's efforts to battle the corsair threat, and Caserta was one of the places where conversion efforts were most successful. The costs and risks associated with slave labor were often high, making the use of slaves in some ways impractical and inefficient in an area with ample nonslave laborers available. Yet in building the royal palace these converted slaves played a role that served more than practical purposes. Their presence became a symbol of the monarchy's military and religious triumphs.
Practical tips and tricks in measuring strain, strain rate and twist for the left and right ventricles
Authors: Johnson Christopher , Kuyt Katherine , Oxborough David , Stout Martin
Published: June 2019

Strain imaging provides an accessible, feasible and non-invasive technique to assess cardiac mechanics. Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is the primary modality with the utility for detection of subclinical ventricular dysfunction. Investigation and adoption of this technique has increased significantly in both the research and clinical environment. It is therefore important to provide information to guide the sonographer on the production of valid and reproducible data. The focus of this review is to (1) describe cardiac physiology and mechanics relevant to strain imaging, (2) discuss the concepts of strain imaging and STE and (3) provide a practical guide for the investigation and interpretation of cardiac mechanics using STE.

The objective of this paper is the assessment of the share of individual land cover categories in
centric and ring-shaped evaluation polygons. In the analyses the data from the Corine Land
Cover project for 2006 and 2012 were used. These data are available through the Urban Atlas.
The basic spatial statistics concerning the land cover categories were determined. As a result of
the analyses, information about land cover changes that took place over a period of 6 years was
obtained, observed with increasing distance from the assumed reference point. An inference was
also made regarding the possibility of determining the changes taking place in selected units in
the period of 2006–2012.

Gravuras nas obras de John Wesley: ilustrações, ornamentos, print flowers e emblemas
Authors: Renders Helmut
Published: June 2019

A cultura visual wesleyana nasce junto ao aparecimento do metodismo na Inglaterra do século 18. Este artigo introduz o uso e o significado variados de gravuras nas obras de Wesley, tanto em livros como em tratados. Conclue-se, primeiro, que as gravuras podem ser classificadas em três grupos distintos: print flowers (emblemas pessoais de impressores e / ou oficinas), emblemas religiosos (gravuras que junto a um título e / ou um texto explicativo criam um tecido novo de ressignificações mútuas) e arte religiosa (gravuras mais complexas de cenas bíblicas). Segundo, percebe-se que John Wesley incluiu gravuras, com a exceção de retratos, somente em alguns dos seus livros, porém, com tiragens altas e, terceiro, que ele criou o gênero de “emblemas populares” baseando a sua interpretação em narrativas bíblicas em vez de narrativas das mitologias greco-romana.
A Idolatria e o Papa Francisco: radicalidade na crítica ao capitalismo.
Authors: Coelho Allan Silva
Published: June 2019

De que modo o papa Francisco incorpora em seus documentos pontifícios a categoria da idolatria na crítica social? Através de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e teórica, buscamos identificar o contexto em que a categoria se desenvolve na América Latina e passa a ser utilizada nos documentos do magistério. Se em um primeiro momento, João Paulo II utiliza a categoria com ressalvas e no contexto de crítica ao marxismo, Francisco utiliza o conceito em todo seu potencial crítico como em seu contexto de elaboração. Parece que a necessidade de coerência com o Concílio Vaticano II e a solidariedade às vítimas, na denúncia do conjunto de valores da sociedade atual, radicalizam o ponto de vista do papa atual permitindo aproximações com propostas teológicas que antes foram combatidas pela Santa Sé. Tal incorporação a seu quadro analítico amplia a radicalidade do anticapitalismo presente.

Sequential testing in high stakes OSCE: a stratified cross-validation approach
Authors: Mancuso Giovanni , Strachan Stephanie , Capey Steven
Published: June 2019

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. Sequential testing has been employed in clinical assessments to support student progression decisions by strategically targeting assessment resources towards borderline students. In this context resampling techniques have been utilised in the attempt to determine the appropriate blueprint number of stations to include in the screening phase of a sequential exam. However, statistical overfitting undermines the generalizability of examination psychometric properties and the uneven distribution (imbalance) of borderline vs. non-borderline students may cause resampling methods to produce biased results. Both phenomena may mislead educational practitioners when redesigning sequential assessments.We demonstrate how to mitigate against the problems of overfitting and imbalanced cohorts whilst finding the optimal 9 screening stations out of an 18-station OSCE. To prevent overfitting our statistical model was developed on one set of data (train and test) and then validated on a different dataset (validation) with imbalance accounted for by operating a stratified sampling scheme.The outcomes demonstrate the importance of validation: in the development phase, the accuracy was initially 91% (train) but the actual predictive accuracy when mitigating against overfitting and imbalance was 86% (test). Similarly, when we validated the model on completely new data - with a comparable assessment - the predictive accuracy was 83% (validation).
“All these worlds are yours except …”: Science Fiction and Folk Fictions at NASA
Authors: Vertesi Janet
Published: June 2019

Although they command real spacecraft exploring the solar system, NASA scientists refer frequently to science fiction in the course of their daily work. Fluency with the Star Trek series and other touchstone works demonstrates membership in broader geek culture. But references to Star Trek, movies like 2001 and 2010, and Dr. Strangelove also do the work of demarcating project team affiliation and position, theorizing social and political dynamics, and motivating individuals in a chosen course of action. As such, science fiction classics serve as local folk fictions that enable embedded commentary on the socio-political circumstances of technoscientific work: in essence, a form of lay social theorizing. Such fiction references therefore allow scientists and engineers to openly yet elliptically discuss their social, political, and interactional environment, all the while maintaining face as credible, impartial, technical experts.
Electroporation of Caecitellus sp. with FITC-dextran v1
Authors: Irwin Nick , Hehenberger Elisabeth , Keeling Patrick
Published: June 2019

Caecitellus sp. is a small phagotroph belonging to the biocosoecid order of the stramenopiles. Caecitellus is found across global oceans but it's role in marine ecosystems, as with many heterotrophic flagellates, is unclear. We isolated a strain of Caecitellus (small subunit rRNA gene was 99.53% identical to Caecitellus parvulus and Caecitellus paraparvulus) from a contaminated culture of Oxyrrhis marina and assessed its amenability to transformation. Fluorescein isothiocyanate conjugated to dextran was successfully introduced into Caecitellus sp. using a high voltage exponential decay pulse (1000 V, 10 µF, ∞ Ω) from a BioRad GenePulser Xcell (cuvette width 0.2 cm). Cell viability was confirmed by observing motility and fluorescence 24 h after electroporation (Figure 1). Lower voltage pulses did not result in FITC uptake. Estimates of transformation effifiency were difficult to obtain due to the small size of the cells. Unfortunately, the isolated strain of Caecitellus perished in an incubator malfunction. However, these results may be transferable to Caecitellus parvulus, a model for heterotrophic flagellates.
Largo y corto: de lo espacial a lo temporal
Authors: Ynduráin Pardo de Santayana Carlos
Published: June 2019

El tiempo es un concepto complejo al que, en la mayor parte de los casos, nos aproximamos a través de metáforas de carácter espacial: el mundo físico sirve de base cognitiva para entender, a través de lo concreto y tangible, entidades situadas en niveles superiores de abstracción. En los adjetivos largo y corto este fenómeno se muestra de manera evidente: además de un significado central relativo a las dimensiones de los objetos, presentan también sentidos relacionados con la duración: una larga jornada, una conversación corta… La idea que subyace en estos casos es que el tiempo es una línea sobre la que se sitúan los eventos. Estos pueden tener una mayor o menor extensión; pueden ser más o menos largos/cortos. El objetivo de este artículo es dar cuenta de forma detallada del funcionamiento de estas metáforas y presentar los distintos sentidos temporales que pueden diferenciarse dentro de la red polisémica que se articula en torno al par de antónimos que nos ocupa.

Published: June 2019

Aim. Assessment of the impact of independent ultrasound screening by the emergency physician on the daily activities of the emergency department.

Methods. The effectiveness of the use of ultrasound screening by the emergency physician was assessed using computer-based simulation modeling and the subsequent implementation of the data obtained into the practical work of the emergency department. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods.

Results. In the course of the study, a simulated model of emergency department was built, similar to the actually functioning department in the Pavlov First St. Petersburg State Medical University. The new professional emergency physician’s standard, requiring knowing the basics of ultrasound-based diagnosis, were implemented first in the model and then in everyday practice. Independent ultrasound screening by the emergency physician allows reducing the length of stay of patients in the emergency department and the workload on medical personnel at the same time increasing the capacity of the department which is confirmed both by computer simulation and by actual implementation in the daily activities of the department.

Conclusion. The data received are indicative of a positive impact of independent ultrasound screening on the hospital stay of patients in the department and workload on the medical staff; emergency residency program should be complemented by teaching the basics of ultrasound diagnosis.

Community Engagement vs. Racial Equity
Authors: Telles Arien B.
Published: June 2019

The literature on the transformation of higher education institutions into engaged institutions identifies the great potential this transformation can have on higher education’s ability to address pressing social issues. However, engagement work frequently operates in White racialized spaces and within systems that perpetuate racial oppression. A lack of critical reflection on this phenomenon may lead to racially inequitable or racially exclusive institutional transformation. If an understanding of racial equity work within community engagement does not occur, we run the risk that the transformation into engaged institutions will include some and not others, and those decisions will likely fall along racial lines. The purpose of this article is to identify and discuss four key findings based on a critical analysis of the ways in which the literature on transformation via engagement addresses issues of racial equity. The analysis leads to a discussion of the implications of the lack of connection between racial equity and community engagement. Most importantly, the overarching question of my own future research in this area is not if there is racial equity work taking place in community engagement initiatives, but how racial equity work is done in community engagement initiatives.
Achieving College Readiness through a Dual Enrollment Course
Authors: Cram Bridgette , Bejar Elizabeth
Published: June 2019

To increase equitable postsecondary access and success outcomes it is critical to address the college preparedness gap. While Florida International University (FIU) continues to improve retention and graduation gaps for currently enrolled students, it became evident that the university could play a larger role in preparing high school students for college and university. In 2017, FIU developed a dual enrollment version of a currently offered course, SLS1510: Strategies for Success, to address this gap. The purpose of this article is to describe the context in which this decision occurred, the philosophy used to drive development of the course, and the steps taken to pilot the course. This article highlights the successes of the course, including enrollment of over 2,000 students over 4 semesters, along with areas of improvement for future iterations. The findings of the pilot can help to inform colleges and universities who are interested in addressing college preparedness in the k-12 pipeline.

Equity and the Urban University: Introduction to the Chicago Conference Issue
Authors: Gonzalez Beatriz , Rosing Howard
Published: June 2019

This 2018 CUMU Annual Conference issue of Metropolitan Universities journal (MUJ) highlights efforts by universities and scholars seeking to engage directly with issues of equity in cities. Reflecting on the conference theme, Partnering for Equity, the City of Chicago offered arguably one of the most sobering and rich contexts for discussing the role of higher education in promoting equity. A 2017 study found the cost of lost income to Chicago’s regional economy due to racial segregation exceeded $4 billion (Urban Institute, 2017, pg. IX). This same study noted an estimated 83,000 college degrees never attained because of racial segregation (Urban Institute, 2017, pg. 40). Chicago, like many urban areas, presents the most pressing opportunities and challenges for uncovering and addressing issues of equity.
As reflected in the conference presentations and speeches, one of the most important changes in higher education is the growing recognition that social change begins on and around the campus. Paulo Freire posited this view nearly 40 years ago in Pedagogy of the Oppressed, naming education a political act. To fully realize this transformative power of higher education, universities must partner across institutions and sectors to reveal and address critical issues of equity. This is the focus of the work shared at the 2018 CUMU Annual Conference.
Le personnage féminin et la lecture du temps dans Le Premier Jardin d’Anne Hébert
Authors: Noël Alex
Published: June 2019

Dans Le Premier Jardin d’Anne Hébert, Flora Fontanges marche dans les rues de Québec en compagnie du jeune Raphaël, un étudiant en histoire. C’est l’occasion, pour la romancière, de suggérer que le personnage masculin de Raphaël, lié à l’historiographie, et le personnage féminin de Flora, une comédienne, possèdent deux manières différentes d’interpréter le passé. Les références au passé dans l’œuvre d’Anne Hébert ont souvent été analysées par le biais de l’historiographie traditionnelle. Un tel angle d’approche, s’il est permis par le texte, nous semble toutefois négliger tout un versant du rapport réflexif qu’entretient le personnage féminin au passé, soit l’aspect mythologique.

Nous avons focalisé dans cet article sur le rôle des devisantes dans l’Heptaméron en démontrant la touche personnelle qu’elles apportent à la conversation. Cette touche se manifeste à travers la mise en exergue de la sensibilité et du savoir-faire du personnage féminin. Cette analyse débouche sur l’emploi de l’ironie, des sous-entendus et des « implicitations conversationnelles » dans les interactions verbales. Enfin, nous nous sommes intéressée au rôle de l’intellectuelle qu’assument les devisantes dans les débats. Ce rôle atteste l’aptitude du personnage féminin et de l’auteur à élever la conversation du bavardage précieux au rang du dialogue mondain et savant qui anticipe le succès des Salons.
Marguerite Duras ou le mélange des genres
Authors: Kocaman Şengül
Published: June 2019

« J’ai écrit une pièce de théâtre sans le savoir. » Ainsi s’exprimait Marguerite Duras à propos du Square, sa première pièce de théâtre, adaptée sur commande d’après le roman éponyme. On sait que Duras a souvent recyclé ses textes, que l’on a retrouvés sous la forme de nouvelles, de récits, de romans, de pièces de théâtre, de films, pour ne citer que La Musica ou India Song. Duras a même écrit des chansons. C’est ainsi qu’on s’étonne à peine qu’une artiste aussi versatile ait dû, au cours d’une interview, se reprendre après un lapsus : « Les Eaux et forêts c’est un film! Pardon, c’est une pièce de théâtre! » En cette année 2014, qui marque le centenaire de sa naissance, et alors que tant d’artistes adulés de leur vivant sombrent dans l’anonymat sitôt morts, nous avons voulu savoir ce qu’il restait de Marguerite Duras dans la mémoire des Français près de vingt ans après sa mort.
Robinsonnades dans l’île de la page : le soi face à l’isolement dans la littérature îlienne européenne après 1945
Authors: Andreescu Ioana
Published: June 2019

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les reprises littéraires du mythe de Robinson Crusoé, telle que Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique, sont évocatrices des changements existant dans la société européenne en reconstruction. Le laboratoire de l’espace insulaire propose un espace métaphorique de réflexion sur le système social ainsi que sur les transformations intérieures subies par les héros qui habitent l’île. Les adaptations mythologiques esquissent le passage vers un nouveau régime d’historicité, où les avatars de Robinson ont souvent dépassé les frontières conceptuelles imposées par la modernité.
Le Vide, pays de frontière de Roland Barthes
Authors: Paillé Willy
Published: June 2019

Dans sa recherche d’une langue qui accueille l’autre, ou l’ailleurs, le Vide est pour Roland Barthes une notion fondatrice et limite. Si, pour des raisons culturelles, il la tire essentiellement du Japon, et originellement de la Grèce, un tour d’horizon dans son œuvre montre qu’elle relève en fait, structurellement — géographiquement et littérairement, via la géométrie et le goût du fragment —, d’un paysage en forme d’Archipel, d’un voyage sans attache fixe (apparemment). C’est cette Dérive d’île en île, de fragment en fragment — la délimitation précise donnant, comme l’insularité dont parle Régis Debray dans son Éloge des frontières, « un fond d’homogénéité » —, qui fait de la Frontière, en contrepoint, un thème plus important qu’il ne semble être dans l’œuvre de Barthes. Peut-être négativement, sous l’espèce du sans-frontière? Non. Bien au contraire, car le Vide apparaît comme une force permettant de « soutenir la cause décriée des lisières et des confins », pour reprendre Debray. De sorte que s’il y a une poétique du Vide dans l’œuvre de Barthes, il y a aussi une poétique de la Frontière et que, pour amorcer une première, et rapide, description de cette poétique réversible, nous avons cru bon de nous porter nous-mêmes à la limite de la notion de Vide — donc au plus près du thème de la Frontière — en inscrivant la démarche de notre étude dans les pas d’un petit texte de Barthes consacré à la notion de Ma dans l’architecture japonaise. Il est donc ici question du Vide — de la Frontière — comme pays (de l’écriture), comme histoire (de ma vie), comme expérience (de la mort), comme concept (de Vita Nova), comme sensibilité (la Nuance), comme avenir (du roman — ou de la lecture) et comme crainte et nostalgie.
Paysage fer à la frontière
Authors: David Anne-Marie
Published: June 2019

La réflexion veut articuler, au moyen du texte Paysage fer de François Bon, les notions de frontière et de paysage. On verra que toutes deux séparent et rapprochent simultanément un ici et un ailleurs, un sujet et un objet, tout en étant fortement informées par la culture. Cette forme de dialectique esthétique est à la base de ce que Michel Collot appelle la « pensée paysage », dont je postulerai qu’elle structure Paysage fer à tous les niveaux de sa construction : elle est repérable à la fois dans ce qui est décrit, dans sa mise en forme et dans la vision historique qui en est proposée.
Le roman d’aventures homoérotique
Authors: Szczur Przemyslaw
Published: June 2019

À partir de l’analyse de quatre textes — Les Loukoums d’Yves Navarre (1973), Tricks de Renaud Camus (1979), Dans ma chambre de Guillaume Dustan (1996) et Pas un jour d’Anne F. Garréta (2002) —, l’article se propose de définir une nouvelle catégorie générique : le roman d’aventures homoérotique. En prenant le contre-pied de la thèse de l’a-généricité de la littérature contemporaine et en s’inspirant des réflexions de Jacques Derrida et de Gérard Genette selon lesquels tout genre est un croisement de plusieurs autres genres, l’auteur décrit le roman d’aventures homoérotique à partir des genres dont ce dernier participe : roman d’aventures, roman érotique, roman autothématique et autonarration. Il essaie également de cerner la spécificité du nouveau genre et d’identifier les traits structurels et thématiques qui le différencient des genres qu’il intègre dans son périmètre tout en les transformant. Une partie importante de l’article est aussi consacrée à la restitution du contexte historique d’apparition du roman d’aventures homoérotique et des façons dont ce contexte se manifeste au sein même des textes analysés. Le principal contexte convoqué est celui de la « révolution sexuelle » et de ses conséquences, dans le domaine tant social (transformation des formes du militantisme homosexuel) que littéraire (essor des « écritures intimes »). La conclusion met l’accent sur la nécessité d’éprouver la catégorie générique proposée par l’examen d’œuvres provenant d’autres domaines littéraires nationaux et linguistiques.
Des pères aux pairs. La représentation de l’homme et de la femme de lettres en héros dans Artamène ou le Grand Cyrus
Authors: Selmeci Barbara
Published: June 2019

L’article interroge les motivations et les procédés de l’héroïsation de l’homme et de la femme de lettres dans Artamène ou le Grand Cyrus (1649-1653) de Madeleine de Scudéry, à travers l’analyse de la figure de Solon, homme d’État et poète athénien, figure récurrente au fil de ce roman d’inspiration épique. Outre le fait d’enrichir le roman d’un savoir historique spécifique, l’héroïsation de Solon donne lieu à une double lecture : d’une part, ses engagements politiques sont susceptibles de faire écho aux événements de la Fronde, contemporains de la rédaction du roman, et d’autre part, sa présence permet l’élaboration de filiations de femmes de lettres, symboliquement investies de l’autorité de leur illustre parent. Ainsi, l’héroïsation de l’homme et de la femme de lettres dans Le Grand Cyrus revêt certains enjeux socioculturels, en regard notamment du positionnement de la romancière dans le champ littéraire de son époque. AbstractThis article questions the motivations and the devices of making the man and the woman of letter into heros in Artamène ou le grand Cyrus (1649-1653) by Madeleine de Scudéry, through the analysis of the character of Solon, an Athenian politician and poet, who is a recurring character all along this heroic novel. Making Solon into a hero not only enhances the novel with specific historical knowledge, but can also be read in two ways: on the one hand, his political commitments are liable to echo the events of La Fronde, which take place at the same time as the writing of the novel, and on the other hand, his presence enables the creation of women of letter, by symbolically investing them with his authority. Thus, making the man and the woman of letter into heros in Le Grand Cyrus implies some sociocultural stakes, especially regarding the positionning of this woman author in the literary field of her time.
Jean-Paul Sartre, entre Richard Wright et Mathieu Delarue
Authors: Hamel Yan
Published: June 2019

Dans Qu’est-ce que la littérature?, Jean-Paul Sartre pourfend Julien Benda; il prend violemment à partie l’écrivain français, catalogué comme « l’écrivain le plus bourgeois du monde ». Le romancier américain en général et Richard Wright en particulier apparaissent, de leur côté, comme des prolétaires et des exploités qui ont un jour décidé de prendre la plume. Ils sont du coup érigés en modèles par excellence d’un héroïsme paradoxal du « n’importe qui ». Dès lors, comment expliquer que les hommes de lettres mis en scène par le philosophe existentialiste dans ses œuvres de fiction ne parviennent jamais à délaisser leur position d’intellectuels bourgeois afin de devenir « n’importe qui »? C’est en confrontant ces deux aspects apparemment contradictoires de l’œuvre sartrienne qu’on tentera de déterminer dans quelle mesure elle promeut ou non l’héroïsme de l’homme de lettres.AbstractIn Qu’est-ce que la littérature?, Jean-Paul Sartre lambasts Julien Benda; he takes violently position against the french writer, labeled « the world wide most bourgeois writer ». On the other hand, the american writer in general and Richard Wright in particular appear to be workers or exploited who decided one day to put pen to paper. They are therefore established as the models of a paradoxical «anybody»’s heroism. From this point, how can we explain that the writers and the intellectuals shown in the existentialist philosopher’s works of fiction are never able to quit their bourgeois position to become « anybody »? By the confrontation of those two seemingly contradictory aspects of Jean-Paul Sartre’s literary works, the author intends to determine how they do or do not promote a kind of writer’s heroism.
Céline héros de l’après-coup
Authors: Boulanger Julie
Published: June 2019

Dans sa tétralogie des bombes, Louis-Ferdinand Céline revendique l’héroïsme déprécié dans son premier roman, Voyage au bout de la nuit. Suite à la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Céline — narrateur des quatre romans — devient un héros de 1914. Comme dans Semmelweis, le héros célinien se constitue dans l’après-coup et conserve sa posture marginalisée. L’écrivain se construit en témoin héroïque et va jusqu’à s’arroger la place des véritables héros de la guerre : les rescapés des camps de concentration.AbstractCéline’s novels published after the Second World War present a new vision on heroism, previoulsy depreciated in his first novel, Voyage au bout de la nuit. In Féerie pour une autre fois, D’un château l’autre, Nord and Rigodon, Céline represents himself as a hero of the First World War and as an heroic witness. This article aims to examine the reasons and effects of this important change.
« Héros négatifs » et communauté(s) du refus dans l’œuvre de Cioran
Authors: David Sylvain
Published: June 2019

Dans le recueil Précis de décomposition (1949), Cioran remarque : « Et si nous sommes les héros négatifs d’un Âge trop mûr, par ce fait même nous en sommes les contemporains : trahir son temps ou en être le fervent, exprime — sous une contradiction apparente — un même acte de participation. » Pourquoi cette revendication d’une attitude d’opposition et de refus s’énonce-t-elle au « nous » ? Et que penser d’une communauté de héros, « négatifs » de surcroît? C’est à ces questions que tentera de répondre cette étude, afin de réfléchir au rôle ou à la fonction du penseur, au sein de la collectivité, à une époque où des valeurs singulières, individuelles, comme la négativité, l’abstention et le désistement font (la plupart du temps) figure d’ultime forme d’authenticité.AbstractIn A Short History of Decay (1949, translated by Richard Howard, New York, Viking Press, 1975), Cioran writes: “And if we are the negative heroes of an overripe age, thereby we are its contemporaries: to betray one’s age or to be its fervent adept expresses—in an apparent contradiction—one and the same act of participation.” Why is this attitude of opposition and refusal expressed using “we”? And what must one think of a community of heroes, be they “negative”? These are the questions that this article will try to answer, in the purpose of rethinking the role (or function) of the thinker, within the community, in a time when singular, individual values, such as negativity, abstention or withdrawal are (more often than not) seen as an ultimate form of authenticity.
