Riscica, Fabio. "Online characterization of high - frequency percussive ventilator." Doctoral thesis, Università degli studi di Trieste, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10077/4654.
Full textAbstract:
2009/2010The thesis describes the study on the characterization of the percussive ventilator; the activities have been carried out in cooperation with the “D.A.I. di Medicina Perioperatoria, Terapia Intensiva ed Emergenza - UCO di Anestesia, Rianimazione e Terapia Antalgica dell'Azienda Mista Universitaria - Ospedaliera di Trieste”. The first chapter describes the physiology of the respiratory system and the classical models presented in literature, the second chapter illustrates the main modes of mechanical ventilation, particularly in the percussive ventilation. The third chapter describes the classical laboratory equipment for the measurement of breathing. The fourth chapter examines the state of the art of methods and instruments for the analysis of respiratory parameters. The fifth chapter discusses the instruments for measuring respiratory parameters, developed in the biomedical laboratory of the DEEI of University of Trieste. The sixth chapter contains a detailed study on the characterization of the percussive ventilator: the model, the method for estimating parameters, the system tests and the results. Particularly, the ability to monitor respiratory parameters by using the instrument developed avoids the volutrauma (alveolar-capillary permeability increase owing to excessive distension of the lung) during controlled ventilation. The instrument also allows to accurately estimate the lung elastance, determining factor of the volume distribution in the used model. At the conclusion of the work, the seventh chapter summarizes the results from the study of the volumes distribution in the two-compartment model of the lung conditioned to percussive ventilation.

Full textAbstract:
LIGHT INTO THE FLESH / FLESH INTO THE LIGHT explores symbols of evil, sin and redemption in the tv series and the movie Twin Peaks. It is not a critical assessment of David Lynch's body of work. Characters and their actions as well as plots are used as symbols which are then explained based on Genesis, the first book of the Old Testimony. Martin Buber's philosophical insight is also used to shed light on the subject.
It is not the aim of this analysis to introduce David Lynch's work from a critical standpoint or from a standpoint of film theory. The aim is to introduce director's key theme, which is one's fight for his soul (essence) whilst facing fear, hesitation, failure but also love, faith and hope.

Full textAbstract:
Der Bericht beinhaltet Ergebnisse von Fleischuntersuchungen auf den Eisengehalt.
Untersucht wurden 308 Schweinefleischproben und etwa 300 Fleischproben der Tierarten Rind, Bison, Auerochse, Büffel, Schaf, Ziege, Kaninchen, Wildschwein, Rehwild, Rotwild und Fasan.
Die sächsischen Ergebnisse bestätigen Untersuchungen anderer Bundesländer und belegen den starken Rückgang des Eisengehaltes im Schweinefleisch. Er lag im Mittel bei 4,1 mg/kg Frischmasse (FM). Vor 30 Jahren lag der Eisengehalt noch bei 18 mg/kg - 25 mg/kg.
Das Fleisch von Tierarten mit sogenanntem rotem Fleisch wie Rind, Schaf, Büffel, Bison, Auerochse, Reh- und Rotwild weist erwartungsgemäß einen hohen Eisengehalt (17 mg/kg FM - 33 mg/kg FM) auf.
Farbuntersuchungen zeigten, dass der Eisengehalt eine Abhängigkeit zur Farbhelligkeit und zum Rotton des Fleisches aufweist. Je dunkler bzw. je intensiver der Rotton des Fleisches ist, desto höher der Eisengehalt.

Full textAbstract:
In the past two years my paintings have fluctuated from figuration to abstraction. Dense surfaces, physical weight, and sense of touch have been dominant characteristics of my work. I have tried to animate oil paint by pushing it to the outer edges of the painting support and by using it to perform unorthodox tasks. I have stretched the limits of oil paint, creating works that reference flesh and the figure even while the forms remain amorphous and minimal. My work is a way for me to question the meaning of material and spiritual transformation.

Some were written in conversation with other poems or pieces of prose such as the stories of Noy Holland. I use free verse forms influenced by various prose poems as well as by the musical/tonal forms of poets such as Lorca. Other styles and influences include the darkness and directness of Spanish poetry particularly Rafael Alberti (esp. his book Concerning the Angels); and the confident and reflective style of Romanian poet Nina Cassian.

Full textAbstract:
Along the first decade of the 21st century, Romanian Cinema has achieved an elite status with the emerge of the so-called Romanian New Wave or New Romanian Cinema. This dissertation, aims to explore a little bit beyond the obvious aesthetics and dramatic features that have conferred awards and prestige to this film movement.Through three of its emblematic films, the use and representation of the human body will be analyzed as a powerful and effective storytelling tool, capable of rendering a coherent socio-political discourse at the same time it harmonically engages with a depurate visual style. The New Romanian Cinema deals with themes like identity and structures of power, and this thesis seeks to expose how those concepts are articulated through an specific depicting of the corporality -and its affections- of the main characters, highlighting the way directors use their craft in consonance with such representation instances

Full textAbstract:
This creative writing thesis is a study of the meaning of childlessness in today’s globalised world, as well as an examination of the ways in which, in the First World, science, commerce and individualist ideology have sought to redefine the human desire for one’s own child as a human need.
In a novel, ‘Man of Aran’, I explore the existential nature of this desire for someone whose experience is largely neglected by public discourse on the subject – a man alone. The novel attempts to understand how constructions of heterosexual masculinity isolate the man in his grief, and in his relationship to others.
In an accompanying story, ‘Only a Fairy Tale’, I continue the analysis of reproductive desire, but move beyond the private realm of the novel to explore the ethical implications of redefining a desire – even one so deep and fundamental – as a need. My subject here is the opaque and shape-shifting practices of assisted reproductive technologies, which in their most interventionist forms exploit the unequal power and opportunity of the world’s women, while at the same time creating new categories in our social order: those who can afford to purchase parenthood, and those who cannot.
Bridging the novel and the story is a reflective essay, ‘On Failing Better’, which serves as an account of the relationship between the two works, as well as an elucidation of their creative processes and the contexts from which they arose. In particular, the essay identifies the novel and the story as autobiographical works, informed both by my own childlessness, and by experiences that have led me to a personal reappraisal of human-centred ideas of ‘flesh and blood’. The essay examines both the restrictive and enabling nature of the osmosis between self and imaginative work, and reaches for an understanding of what literary measures of ‘realisation’ and ‘success’ might mean when art is intimately connected to life.

Erl-Höning, Constanze. "Psychrotolerante Hefen in vakuumverpacktem Fleisch." Diss., Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, 2014. http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:19-170291.
Full textAbstract:
Hefen sind ubiquitär in der Umwelt zu finden und kommen in vielen unterschiedlichen Habitaten vor. Einige psychrotolerante Spezies zeichnen sich durch ihre hohe Beständigkeit gegenüber Kälte aus. Hinsichtlich ihres Vorkommens bei gekühltem, vakuumverpacktem Fleisch finden sich wenige Untersuchungen. Auch über ihre Bedeutung als Verderbserreger in diesen Produkten ist sehr wenig bekannt.
In vorliegender Arbeit wurden 25 Rind-, 9 Wild-, 3 Lamm- und 2 Straußenfleischpro-ben in Vakuumverpackung unterschiedlicher Herkunft daher auf das Vorkommen von Hefen und die Zusammensetzung der Hefepopulation untersucht. Es wurden insgesamt 18 Isolatgruppen isoliert. Darunter waren die Gattungen Candida, Cryptococcus, Cystofilobasidium, Filobasidium, Debaryomyces, Mrakia, Pichia und Rhodotorula. Zudem wurden zwei Hefen, Candida argentea und Mrakia blollopsis, isoliert und identifiziert, über deren Vorkommen auf Fleisch bislang nicht berichtet wurde. Eine in drei Proben nachgewiesene Spezies konnte mittels molekularbiologischer Verfahren der Gattung Kazachstania zugeordnet werden. Hierbei handelt es sich um eine neue Art, Kazachstania psychrophila sp. nov., welche aufgrund der hohen Nachweishäufigkeit auf vakuumverpacktem Fleisch eine Rolle spielt.
Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde auch das Verderbspotential unterschiedlicher Hefeisolate untersucht. Es wurden Rindfleischproben mit Candida spp., Mrakia spp. und Kazachstania spp. beimpft und über einen Zeitraum von 12 Wochen sensorisch und mikrobiologisch untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich bei dieser Versuchsanordnung kein Verderbspotential von Mrakia spp. Bei der Beimpfung mit Candida spp. zeigten sich leichte sensorische Veränderungen, welche bei dieser Lagerzeit als mäßige Verderbserscheinungen bewertet wurden. Kazachstania spp. hingegen konnten im Beimpfungsversuch deutliche geruchliche und farbliche Veränderungen der Fleischproben hervorrufen, welche gegen Ende der Lagerzeit eindeutig als Verderb bezeichnet werden konnten.
In Bezug auf die Minimierung einer Kontamination von Vakuumpackungen mit Hefen und auf die Verhinderung eines Verderbsprozesses ergab sich in den Untersuchungen zur Wirksamkeit verschiedener Reinigungs- und Desinfektionsmittel, dass alle getesteten, handelsüblichen Präparate eine gute Wirkung gegenüber den getesteten Hefen hatten. Glatte Schneidebretter sind gegenüber den benutzten und eingeritzten leichter zu reinigen. Somit ist die Bekämpfung der Hefen in einem Schlacht- und Zerlegebetrieb im Rahmen der üblichen, ordnungsgemäßen Hygiene- und Reinigungskonzepte zu bewältigen.
Der häufige Nachweis von psychrotoleranten Hefen auf vakuumverpacktem Fleisch sowie das Verderbspotential einiger Spezies nimmt gerade durch die Weiterentwicklung und Verbesserung der Schlacht- und Zerlegetechnik mit dem Ziel der Gewinnung keimarmer Schlachtkörper und Fleischteilstücke an Bedeutung zu. Bei der Vakuumierung von Fleisch, welches einen niedrigen Keimgehalt besitzt, kann eine Kontamination mit psychrotoleranten Hefen leicht zu Verderbserscheinungen führen, da die Hefen durch die fehlende Konkurrenzmikrobiota in ihrem Wachstum nicht gehemmt werden.
In weiterführenden Arbeiten wären Untersuchungen über die Kontaminationswege und Eintragsquellen der psychrotoleranten Hefen notwendig, um eine effektive Vermeidung und Bekämpfung zu gewährleisten. Außerdem sollte das Verderbspotential weiterer relevanter Hefespezies untersucht werden und die Verderbsproblematik anhand von Verdachtsproben näher untersucht werden.Yeasts are ubiquitous in the environment and can be found in lots of different habitats. Some psychrotolerant species are characterized by their high tolerance towards coldness. There are only few studies concerning their occurrence in chilled vacuum-packed meat. There is not much knowledge about their importance regarding the contamination of those products. In this thesis therefore 25 beef-, 9 game-, 3 lamb and 2 ostrich vacuum-packed meat samples of different origin have been examined for yeasts. Based on cultural criteria the isolates could be assigned to 18 groups. The isolates belonged to the following genera: Candida, Cryptococcus, Cystofilobasidium, Filobasidium, Debaryomyces, Mrakia, Pichia and Rhodotorula. In addition, two yeasts, Candida argentea and Mrakia blollopsis, were isolated and identified – their existence on meat has not yet been reported about. One species that has been detected in three samples was assigned to the genus Kazachstania by molecular biological methods. This is a new species, Kazachstania psychrophila sp. nov., which has been detected in vacuum-packed meat. In this thesis the spoilage potential of different yeast isolates also has been examined. Beef meat samples have been artificially contaminated with Candida spp., Mrakia spp. and Kazachstania spp., and been analysed sensory and microbiological for 12 weeks. In this experimental set up no spoilage potential could have been detected. When artificially contaminated with Candida spp., slight sensory changes could be detected, which were evaluated as moderate spoilage regarding the time of storage. Kazachstania spp. however, could evoke distinct olfactory changes and discolouration in the meat samples, which can be clearly referred to as spoilage. Concerning the efficiency of different detergents and disinfectants, in order to minimize the contamination of vacuum packaging with yeasts and to prevent spoilage, it can be shown that all tested, customary compounds are very effective on the target yeasts. Cleaning plain cutting boards is easier than cleaning the carved ones that have been used. Therefore, the preventive measures have to include the regular and proper hygienic and cleaning concepts in slaughterhouse. The continual proof of psychrotolerant yeasts on vacuum-packed meat, as well as the spoilage potential of some species gain in importance especially due to the progression and optimization of slaughtering techniques in order to gain germpoor carcasses and cut meat. At the evacuation of meat, that has a small microbial content, a contamination with psychrotolerant yeasts can easily lead to spoilage, as the yeasts are not hampered in their growth due to the lack of a competitive flora. In additional surveys further investigations about the ways of contamination and entry sources of psychrotolerant yeasts would be required in order to ensure an effective prevention and control. Furthermore, the spoilage potential of additional relevant yeast species should be evaluated and the difficulty of spoilage should be further scrutinised.

Full textAbstract:
The research question explored in this exhibition and dissertation was to review the conventional notions of craftsmanship and the use of the specific medium of oil paint with reference to the art of Rembrandt and Damien Hirst. The subject matter is flesh. This study foregrounds the involvement and acknowledgment of the corporeal body, the hand of the artist, and of the organic material reality of our existence and the objects that surround us. The paintings reflect a series of interventions that resulted in abstracted images based on photographs of meat. Once a detail had emerged that emphasised the fleshiness of the selected image, it was printed by a professional printing company. These details were then translated into oil paintings. What is explored is the specific material qualities of the binding mediums traditionally associated with the use of oil painting to create expressive paintings. In the creation of the series of paintings, I prepared binding mediums consisting of wax, stand oil, damar varnish, zel-ken liquin and acrylic paste medium mixed with manufactured readymade oil paints. Consequently the choice and exploration of the material possibilities of a specific medium becomes content, using art to explore the idea of art. Paint becomes flesh-like, having congealed over the surface of the technical support. These paintings propose an internal and an external reality simultaneously referenced through the flesh-like surface, pierced and cut to reveal multiple layers created on the supporting structure (wood and canvas) with the use of a specific medium, oil paint, combined with a variety of other binding mediums. The edges of the unframed paintings play an important role assuming a specific physical presence, enabling them to define themselves as boundaries, both of the paintings particular field of forces and of the viewer’s aesthetic experience. They are no longer edges or frames in the conventional sense, but become other surfaces that are of equal significance in the reading or viewing of the work. Finally, the notion of an exhibition site being neutral or given is contested and, as a result, the contemporary artist needs to be mindful of site specificity in relation to the exhibition of the artworks. This series of paintings is intended to communicate as a body of work, reflecting an individual vision: a recurring, introspective process that is always unfolding. The body is constantly recreated by each individual viewer, and the context or site of display. The artist’s intention is to activate the viewer’s heightened awareness and response to the conscious arrangement of the collection of canvases, as each one represents a fragment or detail of a flayed carcass.

Full textAbstract:
This research is dedicated to a future vision of the body in architecture, questioning the contemporary relationship. between the human and the architectural flesh. Conceptually it delves into the arena of disgust on which the aesthetic flesh is standing, and it explores new types of 'neoplasmatic' conditions in which the future possibility of a neo-biological flesh is lying. Through the analysis and design of a variety of projects, Flesh is proposed as a concept that extends the meaning of skin, one of architecture's most fundamental metaphors. It seeks to challenge a common misunderstanding of skin as a flat and thin surface. In a time when a pervasive discourse about the impact of digital technologies risks turning the architectural skin ever more disembodied, the aim of this thesis is to put forward· a thick embodied flesh by exploring architectural interfaces that are truly inhabitable. Today's architecture has failed the body with its long heritage of purity of form and aesthetic of cleanliness. A resurgence of interest in flesh, especially in art, has led to a politics of abjection, changing completely traditional aesthetics, and is now giving light to an alternative discussion about the body in architecture. Different concepts of Flesh are investigated in this thesis. This is not just concerning the architectural and aesthetic, but also the biological aspects of flesh. More than derived from scaled-up analogies between biological systems and larger scale architectural constructs, Synthetic Neoplasms are proposed as new semi-living entities. These 'neoplasmatic' cr·eations are identified as partly designed object and partly living material, in which the line between the natural and the artificial is progressively blurred. Hybrid technologies and interdisciplinary work methodologies are thus required, and lead to a revision of our current architectural practice.

Full textAbstract:
My visual art practice explores the point at which a sense of bodily humour and revulsion may intersect in the world of the monstrous-feminine: the female grotesque, presented as my own obese (and post-obese) body. This exegesis is
a written elucidation of my visual art practice as research. As an artist I create performative photographic images featuring taboo or
otherwise 'inappropriate' subject matter, situations, materials and behaviours including bodily fluids, offal, internal organs and my own post-obese body. Through these modes of working, I establish and investigate the subjectivity of
flesh: Why are we repulsed by the female grotesque? How can this flesh be used to subvert readings of the female body? My research is informed by those understandings of the female body, sexuality and difference described in the work of feminist theorists including Julia Kristeva, Helene Cixous, Ruth Salvaggio and Elizabeth Grosz. I explore the work of influential artists such as Eleanor Antin, Carolee Schneeman, Cindy Sherman and Sarah Lucas. In this context, I present my own visual art practice as a point from which the monstrous-feminine can be given voice as sentient, intelligent flesh.

Lock, L. E. "Flemish sculpture art and manufacture c. 1600-1750." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 2008. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/1444314/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts to shed light on the creative and production processes in a field that has recently been termed "the greatest unknown story in the history of Western European art" (Jeffrey Muller, 2006). In the context of 17th-century Antwerpen solely being appreciated for three great painters (Rubens, Van Dyck, Jordaens) and its sculpture always being "explained" as copying Bernini's and Algardi's Italian models, it is not surprising that this field has been neglected. In fact, its study has been minimal since World War II. And until then documentary identification and attribution were the only preoccupations of its historians. For the purposes of the thesis, Flemish sculpture will roughly be taken as that produced in the former Southern Netherlands, at first under Spanish, then under Austrian dominion (excluding independent Liege), and investigated in the time from Rubens's return to Antwerpen in 1608 to the end of its heyday by the middle of the eighteenth century. Thus within this huge field, of which an estimated 25,000 to 30,000 sculptures and sculptors' drawings have survived, the present study takes a different methodological approach. Using well-documented cases and especially those cases for which three or more different stages in the design and production are extant (preparatory drawing, preparatory terracotta model and the work as executed in wood or marble), it analyses in a necessarily empirical and exemplary way the workings of the sculpture production: the commissioning process the project from the drawn sketch to the finished model the manufacture from the raw materials to the delivery. To a certain extent, this thesis uses the methodology of the seminal study by Jennifer Montagu, Roman Baroque Sculpture, The Industry of Art (1989). However, around this skeleton, certain complementary situations are also investigated, in particular the effects of collaborations between sculptors and an architect, a painter, a painter-architect or a cabinet maker. The study concludes with a discussion of the social standing of Low Countries sculptors and their trade between art and manufacture.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the relation between two interpretations of chôra, drawn from a
reading of Platos Timaeus. The first I label the elemental chôra. The second, I call the
social chôra. The first chapter addresses the elements in Ionian philosophy, with an eye
toward the political and social backdrop of the important cosmological notion of
isonomia, law of equals. Here social and elemental are continuous. Chapter two looks
at the next phase of Presocratic thought, Elea, specifically Parmenides and his influence
on later thought, then turns to Heideggers reading of Parmenides through the key word
of alêtheia. Finally, I offer a reading of Parmenides through a different key word
trust. The third chapter examines Platos cosmology in the Timaeus, focusing on the
way the beginning of this dialogue inflects the dialogue in a political/social direction,
putting the social chôra in tension with the elemental chôra that the body of the
Timaeus discusses. In the fourth chapter, which examines the Phaedrus, this tension is
inverted, since this dialogue on writing and justice set in what proves to be the
mesmerizing and erotic elemental milieu of the world outside the walls of the polis.
The second half of the dissertation turns to some modern thinkers within the
phenomenological tradition or its wake who write about elementals. Chapter five
examines Gaston Bachelards reveries on imagination which dream the natural world of
fire, air, water, and earth from the standpoint of what he calls material and dynamic
imagination, concepts that imply a strong sense of embodiment. Chapter six treats
Levinas description of the elemental and fixes it in a stark relation to the human. I will
suggest some possible points of contact between the elemental and the social in
Levinas. Chapter seven turns to John Sallis analysis of the imagination as the means of
access proper to the elemental in ways that differ from Bachelard. He position the earth
as a fundamental other. I will suggest that in the end his position inherits Heideggers
lack of emphasis on embodied and needy humanity. Alphonso Lingis offers his own
unique reading of the elemental in a more Levinasian and Merleau-Pontian vein,
speaking of the directives the world, both human and natural, puts to us, and returning
to a philosophy of substance that puts the body in the picture. Chapter eight uses his
thought to focus the issue of the dissertation.

As posthumanism has developed in the last twenty-five years there has been hesitation in elucidating a robust posthumanist engagement with the body. My thesis redresses this gap in the literature in three intertwined ways. First, it is a critical assessment of posthumanism broadly, focusing on how the body is read in its discourse and how there is a continuation of a humanist telos in terms which revolve around the body. Second, it is a philosophical interrogation, adaptation, and transformation of aspects of the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, focusing its reading on Phenomenology of Perception and The Visible and the Invisible, with additional material drawn from his works on language, aesthetics, and ontology. Third, it is a critical analysis of four films drawn from that seemingly most posthumanist of genres, science fiction: Cronenberg's eXistenZ, Spielberg's A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, Rusnak's The Thirteenth Floor, and Oshii's Ghost in the Shell. Science fiction is the meeting place of popular and critical posthumanist imaginaries as the vast majority of texts on posthumanism (in whatever form) ground their analyses in a science fiction of some kind. By reading posthumanism through the work of Merleau-Ponty I outline a posthumanist ontology of corporeality which both demonstrates the limitations of how posthumanism has done its analyses of the body and elucidates an opening and levelling not adequately considered in posthumanist analyses of the body. Following Merleau-Ponty I argue that there is a ‘belongingness of the body to being and the corporeal relevance of every being’, yet, the body is not the singular purview of the human. There are alternative embodiments and bodies which have been previously overlooked and that all bodies (be they embodied organically, technologically, virtually or otherwise) are corporeal.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the relation between two interpretations of chora, drawn from a reading of Plato's Timaeus. The first I label the elemental chora. The second, I call the social chora. The first chapter addresses the elements in Ionian philosophy, with an eye toward the political and social backdrop of the important cosmological notion of isonomia, law of equals. Here social and elemental are continuous. Chapter two looks at the next phase of Presocratic thought, Elea, specifically Parmenides and his influence on later thought, then turns to Heidegger's reading of Parmenides' through the key word of aletheia. Finally, I offer a reading of Parmenides through a different key word - trust. The third chapter examines Plato's cosmology in the Timaeus, focusing on the way the beginning of this dialogue inflects the dialogue in a political/social direction, putting the social chora in tension with the elemental chora that the body of the Timaeus' discusses. In the fourth chapter, which examines the Phaedrus, this tension is inverted, since this dialogue on writing and justice set in what proves to be the mesmerizing and erotic elemental milieu of the world outside the walls of the polis. The second half of the dissertation turns to some modern thinkers within the phenomenological tradition or its wake who write about elementals. Chapter five examines Gaston Bachelard's reveries on imagination which dream the natural world of fire, air, water, and earth from the standpoint of what he calls material and dynamic imagination, concepts that imply a strong sense of embodiment. Chapter six treats Levinas' description of the elemental and fixes it in a stark relation to the human. I will suggest some possible points of contact between the elemental and the social in Levinas. Chapter seven turns to John Sallis' analysis of the imagination as the means of access proper to the elemental in ways that differ from Bachelard. He position the earth as a fundamental other. I will suggest that in the end his position inherits Heidegger's lack of emphasis on embodied and needy humanity. Alphonso Lingis offers his own unique reading of the elemental in a more Levinasian and Merleau-Pontian vein, speaking of the directives the world, both human and natural, puts to us, and returning to a philosophy of substance that puts the body in the picture. Chapter eight uses his thought to focus the issue of the dissertation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines seven of Devora Neumark's artistic interventions that activate an embodied transfer or continuity of knowledge. I am inspired by phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty's notion of "the flesh of the world," that is the element enabling a reversibility between subject and object, specifically with regard to the body. Neumark draws from a repertoire of her everyday activities like crocheting or peeling beets to make a stew. She resituates the activity from one which is traditionally practiced in the private sphere of the home, often undervalued, to one which critically engages passersby in various urban settings. I study the repetitive capacities of these everyday activities, how they are negotiated in the public sphere, and how they remain (re)productively in the flesh through body-to-body transmission. Flesh becomes the operative concept in this thesis and activates a phenomenology in Neumark's interventions that goes beyond Merleau-Ponty's and which engages with both aesthetic and socio-political questions.

Full textAbstract:
This study will embrace certain features of postmodern experience so as to underline subjective embodiment as the condition, corollary, and appropriate focus of textual, rhetorical, and sociopolitical criticism. It will theorize somantics as a conceptual toolkit for mapping the structural correspondence of embodiment to the symbolic order, each thus emerging as the other’s non-foundational “efficient reason.” This study will argue that the flesh mediates the theoretic divisions of structuralism, deconstruction, psychoanalysis, and existentialism, although not in a priori or essentialist ways. It will draw from their vocabularies, combining them into a vocabulary of its own while retexturing their relation to one another. It thus aspires to reduce all rhetorics and metaphysics to the somantic, so as to sabotage conservative fundamentalisms and to establish the terms for an argument with enthusiasts of transhumanism. Moreover, this study will suggest that theoretic systems, cultural messages, and sociopolitical speech-acts inattentive to the condition of embodiment—whether that of their agents, interlocutors, or material mediums of expression— must then seem at once suspicious, maladaptive to the sense contingencies of the moment, and deserving of somantic reduction. In correcting these faults, it will also resist systematizing or universalizing sense-experience; it will function rather as a corpus of maps that rechart the volatile, moment-to-moment interimplication of the somatic and the symbolic. Thus this study takes axiomatically Frederic Jameson’s claim that intertextuality replaces history in the era of transnational capital, seeing in this argument the strategic advantage of taking a theoretic standpoint against diachronic modalities of time. Arguing for the reconstruction of certain narratives as distortions, if not outright falsifications, of the simultaneation of needs, impressions, and changes in a subject’s sense-experience, this study will redirect attention to the relation of certain discourses to the bodies of their interlocutors.

Full textAbstract:
However reluctant he may be about providing details, Karl Barth dares to affirm the coming resurrection, even in the strong corporeal sense of the Apostles Creed, “I believe in . . . the resurrection of the flesh.” At the heart of Barth’s creative approach is an equation between revelation and resurrection. Indeed, everything said about the human addressed now in revelation is to be said about the human at the coming resurrection, including the remarkable fact that resurrection raises the “flesh” (inasmuch as God has revealed Himself to those “in the flesh”). Barth’s early training inculcated in him dialectical themes that would emerge throughout his career. His early work is dominated by a sense of encounter with the present but transcendent God, an encounter described in terms of the raising of the dead. Human existence is sublated – “dissolved and established” – unto a higher order in God. Yet even after Barth abandons the resurrection of the dead as his preferred theological axiom, he portrays eschatology proper in terms of the human sublated in the divine presence. Therefore, in Church Dogmatics he expresses the doctrine of the resurrection of the flesh in three primary ways: eternalization, manifestation and incorporation. The human, delimited as he or she is by death, is made durable in God, obtaining the gift of eternalization. The human, ambiguous in the creaturely mode of earthly life, has one’s true identity revealed with Christ at His return, and obtains the gift of manifestation with the divine. The human, isolated as he or she is in one’s autonomy, is incorporated into the body of Christ by His Spirit, obtaining the gift of communion. In each of these expressions of resurrection Barth desires to preserve fleshliness. His account, however, entails a certain loss of temporality, creatureliness and particularity of the human when it comes to the final state. Instead of being resurrected from the dead in the strong corporeal sense, human bodies appear to be memorialized, deified, recapitulated. Though written with the language of the Antiochene and Reformed schools, Barth’s position enjoys the same strengths and suffers the same weaknesses of a more Alexandrian or Lutheran theological trajectory. Like each of the traditional lines of Christian thought about the resurrection of the flesh, Barth gravitates toward an eschatology centered around the human’s vision of God in the heavenly life. To this extent Barth’s creative treatment of the resurrection of the dead can be understood as broadly Christian, even if he risks undermining the very flesh he hopes to save.

Splunder, Frank Van. "English as a medium of instruction in Flemish higher education." Thesis, Lancaster University, 2010. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.556668.
Full textAbstract:
Due to the internationalization of European higher education, English has been gaining importance as a medium of instruction. This tendency may also be observed in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. Yet, the Flemish government severely restricts the use of languages other than Dutch for teaching purposes. This monolingual policy contrasts sharply with the multilingual reality in Flanders, and has its roots in history. Belgium was constructed in 1830 as a French-speaking state, even though French was spoken by a minority. The Flemish majority and their language were effectively oppressed, and it was not until 1930 that Dutch was recognized as the language of higher education in Flanders. Language remains a sensitive issue in Belgium, and Flanders in particular has established close links between its language and identity. Alongside this essentialist attitude, a strong normative tradition may be observed, which may be linked to linguistic insecurity. As a result of the 'language struggle', language is commonly framed in terms of threat (from 'foreign' languages) and protection (of one's own language and culture). Yet, whereas in the past French was imposed from above, today's English is more readily accepted from below. The aim of my research was to analyse the policy and discourse on English-medium instruction (EMI) in a highly language-sensitive context. I analysed bottom-up (semi-public) discourse as well as top-down discourse (government and university policy), focusing on academic practices (EMI attitudes expressed by Flemish students and lecturers). I used a plurality of ('critical') methods, drawing on language policy research, discourse analysis, .~nd language attitudes research. I made use of texts (in their widest sense), questionnaires and interviews. The results reveal a dichotomy between political and academic discourse on EMI. Whereas the former is clearly ideological, the latter tends to be more pragmatic. Flemish students and lecturers in general express positive attitudes towards EMI, although they think some kind of regulation is necessary. Their attitudes are determined by a number of interrelated parameters, including age, experience, need, language command, and ideology. A culture shift has taken place in Flemish academia, in that English has replaced French as a second language, and it has arguably become the first academic language instead of Dutch (even though its use as a medium of instruction remains restricted). Many students and lecturers regard language in general - including foreign languages - as part of their identity, rather than (standard) Dutch only. The current language policy regarding EMI appears to be counterproductive, and may not be tenable in a globalizing academic environment.
