description: Indigenous Ways of Being, Knowing and Doing have much to teach the broader community, especially in areas where dominant Western systems are in crisis, such as biodiversity protection, conflict management, and inclusive governance. Indigenous scholars and practitioners in different parts of the world are sharing aspects of their Knowledge systems in an effort to teach the rest of us more holistic, relational, sustainable ways of engaging. Genuine Knowledge exchange requires that those of us seeking to learn from Indigenous Knowledges learn to practice the principles and protocols of respectful engagement. Learning to be and know and do in more holistic, accountable ways is largely about learning to behave properly in our specific context. This research traces my process, as a white fella, of learning to behave myself properly in Bundjalung Country, especially through learning respectfully from the principles of Place and Relatedness. Using a relational methodology grounded in Indigenist philosophy, the project involves yarning with Elders, community members, and Country about the process of learning respectfully – what it looks and feels like, what it requires of us, and why it’s important. My research participants are community members with whom I have worked on education and employment projects over the last 10 years. Throughout our yarns we reflect on the qualities which make for good relationships and the protocols that guide proper conduct. The primary finding of this research is that we learn to behave properly through engaging in accountable relationships – with our own families, communities and culture; with Country; with research participants and communities and Knowledges with whom we are engaged in our research. All of my participants emphasize the need to actually do it. There isn’t a template for how to behave properly in this place; we learn to behave properly through engaging intentionally and accountably in the contexts of our specific, personal relationships in an ongoing process of becoming together.

description: Flow is an intrinsically rewarding psychological state characterised by immersion within an activity and feeling as though everything harmoniously clicks into place. Flow is particularly relevant in sport and exercise due to its association with important positive outcomes such as improved performance and enhanced wellbeing. Despite 45 years of research, flow is still considered to be rare and elusive, and we lack practical strategies for reliably inducing and controlling it. Therefore, the aim of this thesis was to develop and evaluate a flow intervention for runners by following an intervention development framework. Chapter 1 introduces the problem statement and provides an overview of the thesis. Chapter 2 presents a critical review of flow research to determine which theories/conceptualisations are most appropriate to underpin the development of a flow intervention for runners. Chapter 3 outlines the philosophical, methodological, and intervention development approach that will be utilised throughout the studies in this thesis. Chapter 4 (Study 1 - Goddard et al., 2021) presents a systematic review of the efficacy of 29 flow interventions in sport and exercise to establish what skills and strategies are suitable for inducing flow. Chapter 5 (Study 2 - Goddard et al., 2022b) consisted of a qualitative study examining end-user perspectives of 14 runners to determine appropriate strategies that could be incorporated into a flow intervention. Chapter 6 (Study 3) presents an intervention development study that summarises the rationale and pilot findings of a flow intervention for runners. Chapter 7 (Study 4 - Goddard et al., 2022a) consists of a mixed-methods (QUAN → qual) study involving a randomised controlled trial with follow-up interviews to evaluate the efficacy of the flow intervention developed in Chapter 6. The intervention consisted of a package of intervention strategies (including open goals, positive verbal feedback, limited quantitative feedback and, use of a metronome). The findings indicate that flow was experienced during the intervention condition, although, it was also experienced in the baseline (run 1) and control conditions (run 2), meaning there was no significant difference in flow experience between groups. Importantly, this study identified a range of moderating factors and processes that influenced the occurrence of different psychological states (i.e., flow and clutch) at different times throughout the session. Finally, Chapter 8 presents a detailed discussion of the program of research within this thesis and outlines important considerations for the development and evaluation of flow interventions in sport and exercise going forward.

Evaluation of awarding badges on Student’s engagement in Gamified e-learning systems

description: Gamification has been gaining increasing acceptability in recent times in educational and commercially related activities, as a tool that encourages and improves the motivation of digital native learners. Since learners can easily engage, educationists have explored gamification as a tool for remediation of engagement, motivation, and collaboration. However, the literature showed that the structural and contextual deployment of game elements is defined only partially in practice. Subsequently, gamification success and failure factors should be explored to identify the required enhancement to achieve improved efficiency in current systems. This research extracts the relevant aspects of gamification that need due consideration to make a guided choice through existing theories. This study is based on an online gamified study that uses well-founded concepts in teaching and evaluation of students in a university. Although badges earned and time spent indicated an increase in engagement, the results show that further work needs to be done by incorporating feedback elements, social interaction, and interactive guidance. The underlying impression is that timely, frequent feedback and personalized guidance, avenues for collaboration and interactivity need to be explored towards the better utility of gamification. Therefore, learning culture in the current learner-centered environment should be further studied to infuse better productivity.

description: It is well known that anthropogenic environmental issues, such as plastic waste, species extinction, and climate change, need to be mitigated, but there is still a gap between what we know needs to be done and how we continue to behave. There is urgency in our need to increase our understanding of conservation behaviours and how to best encourage them, which is the goal of conservation psychology. Largely reliant on self-report data, research in conservation psychology can explain some of the variance in environmentally relevant behaviour, but there is much unexplained. Psychophysiology, on the other hand, is barely utilised in the field. The aim of this thesis is twofold: (1) propose and define a new research field coined here as conservation psychophysiology; and (2) conduct an initial study within this field using electroencephalography event-related potential (ERP) methodology. Although exploratory in nature, efforts were made to maintain a robustness in the research, including the development of relevant stimuli and collection of associated normative data; the Sustainable Affective Image Norms (SAIN). Two subsets of the SAIN were used in the ERP study, rated as being high and low on sustainability. To start this new field in a favourable position, it was decided that null hypothesis significance testing would not be utilised, due to ongoing criticism of its appropriateness. Instead, confidence intervals and visuals were used to draw inferences, along with explanations for interpreting these. Two ERP components were explored. The late positive potential (LPP), thought to be associated with feeling emotion, was chosen a priori as an ERP of interest, revealing responses inconsistent with normative ratings. A second ERP, the FN400, was chosen through exploration of the data. The FN400 was found to distinguish the unsustainable SAIN images from comparison images, potentially revealing a lack of conceptual fluency with unsustainable imagery. The meaning of these ERP responses is discussed. Besides the specifics of these ERPs, the greater overall aim of this research was to assess the viability of conservation psychophysiology as a research field. In this sense, the research has been successful. The field has been clearly defined, a pathway for progressing the field has been presented, and initial steps have been taken towards establishing the research field of conservation psychophysiology.

description: Autochthonous carbon fxation by algae and subsequent deposition of particulate organic matter can have signifcant efects on redox conditions and elimination of trace organic chemicals (TOrCs) in managed aquifer recharge (MAR). This study investigated the impacts of diferent algae loadings (0-160 g/m2) and infltration rates (0.06-0.37 m/d) on overall oxygen consumption and elimination of selected TOrCs (diclofenac, formylaminoantipyrine, gabapentin, and sulfamethoxazole) in adapted laboratory sand columns. An infltration rate of 0.37 m/d in conjunction with an algae load of 80 g/m2 (dry weight) sustained oxic conditions in the sand bed and did not afect the degradation of TOrCs. Thus, the availability of easily degradable organic carbon from algae did not infuence the removal of TOrCs at an infuent concentration of 1 Ìg/L. In contrast, a lower infltration rate of 0.20 m/d in combination with a higher algae loading of 160 g/m2 caused anoxic conditions for 30 days and signifcantly impeded the degradation of formylaminoantipyrine, gabapentin, sulfamethoxazole, and diclofenac. Especially the elimination of gabapentin did not fully recover within 130 days after pulsed algae deposition. Hence, measures like micro-sieving or nutrient control are required at bank fltration or soil aquifer treatment sites with low infltration rates. © The Author(s) 2023

description: The National Rotavirus Reference Centre has conducted rotavirus surveillance by means of a collaborative laboratory based initiative started in June 1999. The serotypes of rotaviruses that lead to the hospitalisation of children with acute diarrhoea were determined from June 1999 to May 2000. We examined 1126 rotavirus specimens using a combination of monoclonal antibody immunoassay, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, and hybridisation. The four most common serotypes G1-G4 were represented. More than 50% of isolates tested were serotype G1, with serotype G1 being represented in most centres Australia-wide. Serotype G9 rotaviruses were identified for the first time in Australia, and were second in importance with 10% of samples tested. The significant presence of G9 viruses throughout Australia suggests the emergence of a new serotype and has implications for current rotavirus vaccine strategies that target serotypes G1-G4.

description: The evolution of technology in the textile industry reached the design of embroidery patterns for machine embroidery. In order to create quality designs the shapes to be embroidered need to be segmented into regions that define different parts. One of the objectives of our research is to develop a method to automatically segment the shapes and by doing so making the process faster and easier. Shape analysis is necessary to find a suitable method for this purpose. It includes the study of different ways to represent shapes. In this thesis we focus on shape representation through its skeleton. We make use of a shape's skeleton and the shape's boundary through the so-called feature transform to decide how to segment a shape and where to place the segment boundaries. The direction of stitches is another important specification in an embroidery design. We develop a technique to select the stitch orientation by defining direction lines using the skeleton curves and information from the boundary. We compute the intersections of segment boundaries and direction lines with the shape boundary for the final definition of the direction line segments. We demonstrate that our shape segmentation technique and the automatic placement of direction lines produce sufficient constrains for automated embroidery designs. We show examples for lettering, basic shapes, as well as simple and complex logos.
Optimising the polling sequence in embedded round robin WLANs

description: Transmitting variable-bit-rate real-time data on the uplink of a polled wireless local area network requires careful scheduling to achieve satisfactory performance and capacity. This is a 'blind' scheduling problem, since the number and arrival times of packets at each remote station are not known by the scheduler. Embedded round robin (ERR) was recently proposed to address the problem of the high cost of polling idle stations. This paper presents an enhancement of ERR, least-recently-used-ERR, which outperforms the original ERR, especially when network load is high.

description: Background & aims: Endoscopic ultrasound guided-biliary drainage (EUS-BD) is a promising alternative to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP); however, its growth has been limited by a lack of multicenter randomized controlled trials (RCT) and dedicated devices. A dedicated EUS-BD lumen- apposing metal stent (LAMS) has recently been developed with the potential to greatly facilitate the technique and safety of the procedure. We aim to compare a first intent approach with EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy with a dedicated biliary LAMS vs. standard ERCP in the management of malignant distal biliary obstruction. Methods: The ELEMENT trial is a multicenter single-blinded RCT involving 130 patients in nine Canadian centers. Patients with unresectable, locally advanced, or borderline resectable malignant distal biliary obstruction meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomized to EUS-choledochoduodenostomy using a LAMS or ERCP with traditional metal stent insertion in a 1:1 proportion in blocks of four. Patients with hilar obstruction, resectable cancer, or benign disease are excluded. The primary endpoint is the rate of stent dysfunction needing re-intervention. Secondary outcomes include technical and clinical success, interruptions in chemotherapy, rate of surgical resection, time to stent dysfunction, and adverse events. Discussion: The ELEMENT trial is designed to assess whether EUS-guided choledochoduodenostomy using a dedicated LAMS is superior to conventional ERCP as a first-line endoscopic drainage approach in malignant distal biliary obstruction, which is an important and timely question that has not been addressed using an RCT study design.

description: With increased demand for bandwidth-hungry applications such as video-on-demand, wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network (WDM-PON) has become a strong contender in overcoming the last mile bottle neck. However, the wide-scale deployment of WDM-PONs has been delayed mainly due to the high cost of wavelength-specific optical components. To realize cost-effective WDM-PONs, various wavelength-independent, so called colorless architectures, have been developed so that all the subscribers can have identical optical network units (ONUs). In such WDM-PONs, however, single-fiber bidirectional transmission results in degradation of system performance caused by interference between the signals and backreflections. This thesis investigates the impact of backreflections on single-fiber bidirectional WDM-PONs. A WDM-PON with various optical line terminals (OLTs) and colorless ONU configurations is presented. The dependence of the power penalty, caused by backreflections, on a variety of parameters is investigated. This includes parameters such as the source linewidths, receiver bandwidth, transmission line loss (TLL), ONU gain, chirp effect at the ONU and optical return loss (ORL), in various WDM-PON configurations. The WDM-PON with continuous wave (CW) seed light and remodulation schemes are both presented and studied experimentally. The impacts of the backreflections on the single-fiber bidirectional WDM-PON with various OLT and ONU configurations are compared and analyzed accordingly.
Prisons of industry: The recent history of American private prisons, 1978-1985.

Publisher: name: Université d'Ottawa / University of Ottawa

Subjects: subject: History, United States.

description: The purposes of this thesis is to examine the key factors and events within the immediate political foreground which led to the acceptance of private prisons as a viable policy option on the American correctional agenda in the early to mid-1980s. There has been an evident failure in criminology to provide a proper historical account of the recent origins of private prisons, as the concentration on questions of pragmatism and philosophy left other important issues unexamined. The history of prison privatization is approached from a position that embraces multiplicity and complexity, where it is contextualized within the dynamics of the policy process and the cumulative pressures faced by individual policy-makers. To this end, the work is essentially a literature review, which analyzes the multitude of factors which interacted to produce the necessary conditions favourable to considering the privatization of prisons as a viable policy option, an approach which is critical to assessing the past, present and future developments in their proliferation.

description: Regular physical activity is crucial for a physically and mentally healthy lifestyle. Training methods such as high-intensity interval training (HIIT) have become increasingly popular as they enable substantial training effects in little time. HIIT typically involves recurring short phases of close-to-maximal exercise intensity, interspersed with low-intensity recovery phases. Originally mainly practiced via uniformly repetitive movements, newer variations include varied functional and holistic exercises (fHIIT). While HIIT facilitates many health advantages, fHIIT is considered more beneficial since it activates more muscles, requires more coordination, strength and balance, and mimics more natural movements which transfer well to daily life. However, fHIIT is a very intense training approach; it requires strong focus and intrinsic motivation to frequently push beyond perceived physical and mental limits. This is a common barrier to exploiting the full potential of this efficient training method. Exergames may facilitate this kind of training due to their playful, immersive, motivating nature. Yet so far, few studies have investigated HIIT-exergames – no fHIIT-exergames. This is possibly because few exergames featured both (1) an effective training concept that is comparable to HIIT, and (2) an attractive and motivating game design. We believe that this lack of holistic integration of both aspects is partly why there is currently little evidence for long-term motivation and training effects in exergame-based training. Our work addresses this gap through the design of an adaptive fHIIT protocol for the ExerCube fitness game system, creating a HIIT-level functional exergame. We conducted a within-subjects study to compare objective and subjective training intensity induced by the ExerCube against a conventional fHIIT session with healthy young adults. Furthermore, we evaluated participants' subjective experience with regards to motivation, flow, and enjoyment during both conditions. Our results contribute empirical evidence that exergames can induce HIIT-level intensity. While perceived physical exertion was slightly lower in the ExerCube condition, it yielded significantly better results for flow, enjoyment, and motivation. Moreover, the ExerCube seemed to enable a dual-domain training (higher cognitive load). We discuss these results in the context of exergame design for fHIIT, and provide practical suggestions covering topics such as safety precautions and physical-cognitive load balancing.

description: This thesis examines non-government, community-based women’s health centres in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, that emerged with the Australian women’s health movement and ‘second wave’ feminism in the late 1960s – early 1970s. The thesis explores geopolitical forces involved in shaping women’s health movements internationally – primarily Britain, Canada and the United States. It focuses, however, on those that prevailed in Australia in: i) representing and understanding women’s health (the symbolic dynamics), and ii) establishing specific services and programs to respond to it (the policy and politics dynamics). As the thesis argues, these reflected a geopolitical specificity of history and place. Yet they also included significantly impactful ways of understanding and responding to women’s health from comparators in the global North (Connell, 2007), namely Britain, Canada and the United States.
description: Conducted in partnership with Women’s Health NSW, the peak advocacy body for women’s health centres, the study aimed to: (i) investigate the development and distinctiveness of the Australian women’s health approach within a comparative international context; (ii) document and analyse the scope, scale and distinctiveness of the non-government, community-based women’s health model of service delivery as it operates in women’s health centres; and, (iii) examine the experiences of women’s health service provision in NSW from the perspective of providers and clients, with a focus on those associated with the services’ response to gender-based violence, and its impacts on women’s lives and health.
description: In addressing these aims, the study engages with global scholarly literature to which it also seeks to contribute: feminism and women’s health; feminist health service responses to gender inequality and its impacts on women’s health; significance of geo-politics and place in feminist struggles against gender inequality; women's health policy and services; women’s experiences of feminist women’s health services and their relationship to women’s empowerment; and feminist health service responses to gender-based violence as a foundation for a distinctive women’s health approach.

Effects of Type II and Type Ia Supernovae feedback on the chemodynamical evolution of elliptical galaxies
Creators: name: Kawata, Daisuke

description: We numerically investigate the dynamical and chemical processes of the formation of elliptical galaxies in a cold dark matter (CDM) universe in order to understand the origin of the mass dependence of the photometric properties of elliptical galaxies. Our three-dimensional tree N-body/smoothed particle hydrodynamics numerical simulations of elliptical galaxy formation take into account both Type II and Type Ia supernovae (SNe II and SNe Ia, respectively) and follow the time evolution of the abundances of several chemical elements (C, O, Ne, Mg, Si, and Fe). Moreover, we compare different strengths of SNe feedback. In combination with stellar population synthesis, we derive the photometric properties of simulation end products, including the magnitude, color, half-light radius, and abundance ratios, and compare them with the observed scaling relations directly and quantitatively. We find that the extremely strong influence of SNe is required to reproduce the observed color-magnitude relation, when we assume each SN yields energy of 4×1051 ergs and that 90% of this energy is ejected as kinetic feedback. The feedback affects the evolution of lower mass systems more strongly and induces the galactic wind by which a larger fraction of gas is blown out in a lower mass system. Finally, higher mass systems become more metal-rich and have redder colors than lower mass systems. We emphasize, based on our simulation results, that the galactic wind is triggered mainly by SNe Ia rather than SNe II. In addition, we examined the Kormendy relation, which prescribes the size of elliptical galaxies, and the [Mg/Fe] magnitude relation, which provides a strong constraint on the star formation history.

description: The higher education system in Vietnam is developing rapidly. As it does, the need to boost the system’s research capacity is an increasingly important priority. To this end, the system requires a strong research culture, underpinned by a vibrant network of disciplinary cultures. This investigation addressed the state of disciplinary cultures at several leading research-oriented universities in Vietnam. These cultures were found to exist and to be valued, but they are fragile and require a willingness to invest in their further development. At present, there is perhaps too much focus on the development of research products capable of being commercialised.

Manganese and nickel uptake, depuration and toxicity in the sea anemone Exaiptasia pallida and Symbiodinium spp.

description: Manganese (Mn) is a ubiquitous trace metal that is essential to living organisms and valued for the production of steels and alloys. However, Mn is potentially toxic to marine organisms at elevated levels. Land-based anthropogenic activities such as mining and dry cell batteries release Mn waste and other associated metals, such as nickel (Ni), that can threaten the health of marine species. A review of the Australian and New Zealand water quality guidelines for Mn in marine waters has identified a chronic toxicity data gap for Cnidarians exposed to Mn. Also, the synergistic and other potential cumulative impacts with other metals such as Ni are unknown. The sea anemone Exaiptasia pallida belongs to the phylum Cnidaria along with coral and jellyfish and is suitable as a model for marine laboratory testing. To understand the effects of Mn on non-calcified cnidarian, I investigated the effects of Mn uptake and depuration in the anemone E. pallida tissue and the endo-symbiotic, dinoflagellate algae - Symbiodinium spp. as well as stress-response, determined by changes in tentacle length and symbionts density. Because Ni coexists with Mn in mine tailings, I also investigated Ni alone and in combination with Mn. The results showed that anemones can accumulate Ni and Mn in the tissue, but higher concentrations were measured in the Symbiodinium spp. after 12-and 24 d of Ni or Mn exposure. Manganese in the anemones did not elicit a significant reduction in the Symbiodinium spp. density after 12- and 24 d, but tentacle retraction was significantly higher in all treatments than in controls. Mn depuration in anemones depended on the exposure concentrations but was more rapid in the symbionts than in the host anemone tissue. These results also showed that E. pallida are more sensitive to Ni after 12 d of Ni exposure alone and in a mixture with Mn. There was significant dose-dependent retraction in tentacle length after 12 d of exposure to Ni alone and when mixed with Mn. Exposure of anemones to a combination of Ni and Mn for 12 d caused a significant reduction in the Symbiodinium spp. Still, no effects on cell density were observed in both single-exposure experiments. The response of anemones to Ni and Mn alone and combined adds to knowledge on the vulnerability of symbiotic cnidarians in metal-polluted environments. Furthermore, these results reveal the importance of testing metal effects in combination before establishing safe limits for marine invertebrates.
The case for an Australian folk music tradition

description: Using new and more comprehensive sources this thesis re-interprets the evidence for an Australian folk music tradition: the post-1970 field collections (>90% of recordings), newspaper references (1803—1950), newly searchable and accessible through online databases. By taking this approach and weighing the new evidence, it is argued that the native-born identification was the significant societal shift, however, it was not exclusively male, nor exclusively the product of the frontier, but was formed in towns and small-scale farming communities, and subsequently spread along-with the expanding land-based frontier. A community-based origin for cultural production displaces the centrality of the masculine, frontier hypothesis interpretation of Australian folk song and re-opens important questions regarding transplanted music, demographics, occupation, and gender. In addition to this key finding a number of new arguments are advanced: two main centers of influence are indicated: Sydney and Tasmania; the maritime/littoral frontier is proposed as an important contributing factor in shaping musical culture; the farming communities of the Hawkesbury region were the single most influential group, in which non-conformist and Protestant English, Scottish, and Northern Irish influences predominated; vocal composition was not the product of social class, as has generally been believed; a longstanding African-American musical influence is indicated; women are well represented, as carriers of balladry and instrumental music, and of the domestic tradition; Indigenous traditions developed in parallel, with reciprocal two-way borrowings, and shared identification. While the collected music reflects the transplanted legacy, the motivating force behind that cultural assemblage is the apparent determination to create new traditions to suit the 'new' country — native identification in concrete musical form. Relevant comparison is found in the scholarship of Northern Ireland, England, and areas of North America. The characteristic vocal melodies derive from a half-dozen Northern Irish come-all-ye/street ballad tunes. English melody and form are characteristic of some vocal types. The range of variation found in the vocal music is roughly comparable to that found elsewhere, but not to the same degree, or frequency. The influence from popular music is innate, conditional within the creation-of-new traditions concept, and not seen to negate underlying cultural process. The 1890s literary-nationalists were part, only, of a more widespread and longer-standing celebration of popular idiom — not central to it, as was projected by and through the 1950s folk revival.
An exploration into the reactions of undergraduate students to virtual lectures
Creators: name: Signor, Luisa
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Using a literature survey this paper explores the different interpretations of the term virtual and its potential impact on undergraduate students. The literature reveals that many researchers have concerns on the possible negative effects should virtual education reduce the interaction between the educator and the student. Some studies have researched the reactions of students to using virtual lectures and whether they facilitate rather than hinder their individual learning outcomes. An information technology subject at Swinburne University of Technology has adopted a multimodal approach to subject delivery comprising face-to-face tutorials and replacing face-to-face lectures with virtual lectures. These lectures are delivered online via the World Wide Web. Concurring with other researchers my findings suggest that although students enjoy the convenience of online virtual lectures, many are reluctant to relinquish the face-to-face mode of lecture delivery. Furthermore, the majority of students appear to demonstrate a lack of motivation to view these lectures on a regular basis, preferring to view them when the need is greatest, that is, for assessments.

description: Si la littérature et la critique se sont abondamment intéressées aux figures du clown et du saltimbanque depuis le XIXe siècle, force est de constater que les artistes féminines n’ont connu ni la même gloire ni la même légitimation. Tandis que leurs homologues masculins peuplent les romans, les femmes saltimbanques sont peu mises en scène dans les œuvres littéraires et n’ont en général qu’un rôle secondaire. À sa publication en 1901, Lulu, roman clownesque, de Félicien Champsaur, change cette donne en plaçant au centre de son récit un personnage féminin fort. Le roman relate alors l’ascension et la gloire sans précédent de Lulu la clownesse. En nous attardant plus spécifiquement au traitement du corps de l’artiste féminine dans le roman, nous dégagerons le rôle essentiel que joue l’enveloppe charnelle dans la réussite du parcours de la saltimbanque, ainsi que dans les rapports qu’entretient cette dernière avec le public. Nous verrons dans un premier temps que le corps s’impose dans l’œuvre comme un puissant outil d’agentivité. Par la suite, nous constaterons que ce travail est mis à mal dès lors que la chair du personnage féminin devient l’objet du spectateur masculin. Lulu n’est plus définie selon ses actes, mais plutôt selon les termes de celui qui l’observe. Nous montrerons que le corps féminin constitue un enjeu primordial et ambigu dans le roman de Champsaur dans la mesure où il se situe au cœur de la construction du personnage romanesque et de son parcours.
