Full textAApart from his latest film Resnais has always been reluctant about the adaptation of novels despite working for many years exclusively with writers who were mainly novelists. However, Providence (1977), his first film ever to have been written by a professional playwright, stages an elderlywriter, sick and alcoholic, in the course of imagining scenes, alternating between the horrific and the comic, of an ultimate novel the heroes of which are none other than his own next of kin. This paradox constitutes the core of the present essay which is centered around a film of rare precision regarding the literary creation, and its diptycal structure provides a deep insight into the links of fiction and reality. By rehabilitating the notion of “literary cinema”, while bursting the far too limiting frame of adaptation, and while presenting the storytelling rather than the showing as Resnais’ major engagement, the present analysis explores the more intimate relations between books and films. While enabling the return to fundamental novelists of modernity such as Melville, Proust and Faulkner, Resnais’ cinematographic machine may find in their texts its most efficient use. Through its active mise en abyme Providence reveals the profound affinities between writing novels and committing suicide. Tormented by his wife’s suicide which he places in the centre of a story where the elderly, transformed into werewolves, are locked in the extermination stages of a state of terror, at the heart of his nocturnal manor in Providence, the grantécrivain and pathetic demiurge is struggling to frighten us with his own agony. This probably makes him the most truthful of all abymed writers in cinema

Full textOften dismissed as the production of second-hand literature, though constantly used by modern stage directors and playwrights, adaptation has frequently been neglected by critics; barely theorised by those who practice it, it has been approached with an approximate definition. Through the study of thirty novels and short stories − ranging from Honoré d'Urfé's L’Astrée (1607-1625) to Saint-Réal’s Dom Carlos (1672) − and the study of some eighty theatrical adaptations, this work analyses the theatrical adaptation of narrative fictions as a coherent writing practice, which each and every play embodies in a different way. Starting with a clear definition of what theatrical adaptation means, then proceeding with a careful reading of the works and a detailed review of contemporary theories, we build tools to analyse this corpus and avoid the aporias adaptation theories have usually been confronted with. This reading of adaptation, based on rhetorics, enables us to follow the process of adaptative writing step by step through its various techniques − from the selection of material within the novel to the designing and actual writing of the play to its final staging. Thus we define the poetics of a transmodal adaptation, which reinvents the working of rhetorical categories and questions the potentiality of drama as a semiotic medium. Adaptation therefore challenges literary genres − sometimes confirming their topoï, sometimes creating new forms − and thus tackles aesthetics-related issues. Theatrical adaptation appears as a field of literary experimentation and formal innovation, within which intertextual references reverberate and multiply in various levels of reading. Exhibiting its second-hand nature and therefore its literary quality, theatrical adaptation rightly deserves to be read as a major contribution to the French seventeenth-century dramatic literature, to which it gives back its density and richness

Full textThe P3RMA (Programmable, Parallel, and Predictable Random Memory Access) processor, currently being developed at Linköping University Sweden, is an attempt to solve the problems of parallel computing by utilizing a parallel memory subsystem and splitting the complexity of address computations with the complexity of data computations. It is targeted at embedded low power low cost computing for mobile phones, handsets and basestations among many others. By studying the radix-2 FFT using the P3RMA concept we have shown that even algorithms with a complex addressing pattern can be adapted to fully utilize a parallel datapath while only requiring additional simple addressing hardware. By supporting this algorithm with a SIMT instruction almost 100% utilization of the datapath can be achieved. A simulator framework for this processor has been proposed and implemented. This simulator has a very flexible structure featuring modular addition of new instructions and configurable hardware parameters. The simulator might be used by hardware developers and firmware developers in the future.

Full textThe Division of Computer Engineering at Linköping's university is currently researching the possibility to create a highly parallel DSP platform, that can keep up with the computational needs of upcoming standards for various applications, at low cost and low power consumption. The architecture is called ePUMA and it combines a general RISC DSP master processor with eight SIMD co-processors on a single chip. The master processor will act as the main processor for general tasks and execution control, while the co-processors will accelerate computing intensive and parallel DSP kernels.This thesis investigates the performance potential of the co-processors by implementing matrix algebra kernels for QR decomposition, LU decomposition, matrix determinant and matrix inverse, that run on a single co-processor. The kernels will then be evaluated to find possible problems with the co-processors' microarchitecture and suggest solutions to the problems that might exist. The evaluation shows that the performance potential is very good, but a few problems have been identified, that causes significant overhead in the kernels. Pipeline mismatches, that occurs due to different pipeline lengths for different instructions, causes pipeline hazards and the current solution to this, doesn't allow effective use of the pipeline. In some cases, the single port memories will cause bottlenecks, but the thesis suggests that the situation could be greatly improved by using buffered memory write-back. Also, the lack of register forwarding makes kernels with many data dependencies run unnecessarily slow.

Full textTwenty male subjects performed a total of 240 trials, as fast and accurate as possible, over 4 sessions for two tasks with different level of complexity (10 subjects per task). Kinematic and EMG data were acquired for a two segment model of the arm using a lightweight, adjustable manipulandum, and surface EMG for the PDL, PEC, TRI, and BIC muscles. Movement organization characteristics were revealed by wave pattern analyses performed with a phase breakdown technique, CCCF on torque partitioning components, and the CFs on the muscle activation waveforms.
The experimental protocol allowed enough practice for the tasks to be learned resulting in PT decrease. Consistent adaptations in movement organization were revealed by all three levels of analysis. Improvement in the performance production measures were in the same direction for both learning conditions, and the rate of change within experimental sessions decreased over time. The significant adaptations in movement organization occurred at the critical phases of each task (i.e. the power absorption--phase simple task, and the reversal phase--complex task). The EMG and joint torque components demonstrated significant amplitude and profile changes particularly during the critical phases. The subjects learned to perform the tasks faster by compensating the motion dependent torques components with the muscle torques in time and amplitude. This finding was consistent with the principle of exploitation of motion dependent torques which was enhanced with learning. Significant task specific motor program adaptations were revealed by the SVD analysis. The minimization of the degree of freedom hypothesis is consistent with the increasing covariation observed over learning between the antagonists PEC and BIC in the simple task, and for both the agonists PDL and TRI and antagonists PEC and BIC in the complex task. In addition the results justified the use of waveform analysis on performance production measures, as a method that can reveal important adaptation details in the underlying control mechanisms for gross motor skill.

Full textTutkielmani tarkastelee Diana Gabaldonin romaania Muukalainen (Outlander 1990) sekä teoksen pohjalta tehtyä TV-adaptaation Matkantekijä (2014) ensimmäistä kautta. Vertailen teoksia keskenään adaptaatioteorian valossa. Lähteisiini kuuluu muun muassa Linda Hutcheon The Theory of Adaptation (2013), Julie Sanders Adaptation and Appropriation (2016) ja Sarah Cardwell Adaptation Revisited: Television and the Classic Novel (2002). Yhdistän tutkielmassani myös Roland Bartesin ajatukset nautinnollisesta tekstistä ja hekumallisesta tekstistä Hutcheonin ajatuksiin adaptaatioiden nautinnollisuudesta. Tuttu teksti luo nautintoa mutta teksti joka yllättää meidät pystyy tuottamaan myös hekumaa. Nojaudun tutkielmassani kirjailijakeskeisiin lähteisiin kuten artikkeleihin ja haastatteluihin sekä Diana Gabaldonin teokseen The Outlandish Companion (2015). Tutkielmani aikana huomasin että Muukalainen on monimutkainen ja jopa ristiriitainen teos suorasukaisesta ensivaikutelmastaan huolimatta. Muukalainen on omaperäinen genresekoituksensa joka pyrkii vastustamaan perinteistä lukemisen ja tulkinnan tapaa. Teoksen tekijä Diana Gabaldon julistaa että hän ei kirjoita mistää poliittisesta asemasta mutta se voimmeko luottaa hänen sanaansa jää kyseenalaiseksi. Käsittelen tutkielmassani Muukalaisessa ilmenevää neljää teemaa: aikamatkustusta, uskontoa, romanttista rakkautta ja seksuaalisuutta. Erityisesti uskonnollisuus kuvataan eri tavalla TV-adaptaatiossa kuin romaanissa. TV-adaptaatio väheksyy Clairen uskonnollista kokemusta. Huomasin myös että TV-sarjassa Claire kuvataan uhrina protagonisti Jamietä pelastavan sankarin sijasta. TV-sarja siis välittää perinteisiä sukupuoli asetelmia joissa Claire on passiivinen osallistuja jonka aktiivinen osapuoli Jamie pelastaa. Tämä asetelma heijastuu myös seksuaalisuuden puolelle. Mies-mies-raiskausta käsittelevä kappale keskustelee siitä miten Jamie pakotetaan olemaan passiivinen osapuoli. Tämä kuvaus pysyy samana sekä Muukalaisessa että Matkantekijä TV-sarjassa

Full textThe thesis is about the cinematographic adaptation of a literary work considered as inadaptable, The horse man on the roof published by Giono in 1951.The novel of Giono and the film of Rappeneau (released in 1995 with the same title) are both a fictional representation of a historical past.The novel and the film tell the story of an Italian political exile who behaves like a generous hero during a cholera epidemic in the nineteenth century in France. They use different codes and each have specific constituents.Our aim was to find out what are the respective logics of the fictional narrative and the cinematographic narrative. For this, after having defined the adaptation, we have located the novel and its meaning in the author's work, and then we have revealed the characteristics of the romantic universe of Giono, who often writes in the manner of a filmmaker. We studied the film from the point of view of the successive stages of its realization, from scenario to filming and editing, showing what were its techniques and how the diffusion was made.We thus showed that there were several transcodings of the text to the film. We compared the two stories and found that the filmmaker must respond to technical constraints, and structure according to the filmic medium.Rappeneau transforms and highlights the love story of the novel, while maintaining its aesthetic. He therefore proposes his reading of the work and his own interpretations. The cinema makes it possible to discover new works, those that it realizes and also those that it adapts. It allows initiating to culture. These aspects are very important in the transmission of a language, especially FLE in the Sudanese context.That is why we offer a didactic exploitation based on our experience at the university. Literature and film analysis are means to transmit and compare language and culture, to make a society known and it also reinforce motivation in an atmosphere of pleasure. They are sources of knowledge

Full textLiterature or imposture ? The theatrical adaptations of 19th century French novels invaded the Parisian scene signed by the greatest writers : Paul de Kock, Alexandre Dumas (the father), Eugène Sue, Paul Féval, George Sand, Alexandre Dumas (the son), Octave Feuillet, Jules Sandeau, Emile Zola, Alphonse Daudet, Edmond de Goncourt, and Jules Verne… Speculating on the popularity of a novel, they swept into a verbose creative spiral authors, theatre directors and the public, all voluntary prisoners of a lucrative production system. The novel went beyond the scope of theatre’s narrow context. The Procrustean Couch : The Weight of Word sis metamorphosed into a Pandora’s Box. From text to out of (con)text, the novel transferred to theatre threw all referential drama codes (generic, structural, stylistics, sets of themes and the spectacular) off balance, making a mockery of conventional censurers. It faces a mainly hostile, dramatic criticism disorientated by poetically imitated origins. From the serial story with its theatrical downward spiral, imitation in the sense of a transformed copy, the essence of literary creation in its Aristotelician sense was modifying an already dramatic landscape. Was it invention or copy ? Literary ownership dictated its law within international literary conventions. The process of the theatrical adaptation of novels was legalized in 1886 during the Congress of Bern. From « imitation » to « adaptation », literature spiralled downward to acquire a secondary, second place status unworthy of literary history
