Abstract:
White met en exergue de son avant-dernier roman un passage de David Malouf, extrait de An imaginary life, qui pourrait ouvrir un recueil de ses oeuvres, tant il éclaire avec justesse la vision existentielle au coeur de sa création romanesque : « what else should our lives be but a series of beginnings, of painful settings out into the unknown, pushing off from the edges of consciousness into the mystery of what we have not yet become ». Les termes « unknown » et « mystery of what we have not yet become » prennent une importance toute particulière quand ils sont appliqués à l'univers de White. Si le romancier incite avec force son lecteur à s'engager, à la suite des personnages, dans une exploration de son monde intérieur, il ne lui donne aucune réponse définitive et s'emploie au contraire, avec des moyens de plus en plus variés, complexes et maitrisés, à déjouer tous les modes conventionnels d'interprétation, à démonter les systèmes idéologiques et philosophiques, comme le prouvent les points de vue contradictoires adoptés par les critiques de ses oeuvres
Patrick White's preoccupation is with the process of self-discovery, of setting out into the unknown territory of the mind. His novels are exploratory. What matters is the quest for meaning, more than definite answers. For him, truth is a matter of interrogation, it is unattainable and inexpressible. Only through intuition is it possible to apprehend it, beyond words and systems. The various assertions of silence in the novels offer a supplementary space, inviting a dynamic and inventive reading of a text that is unfinished but calling for completion

Abstract:
The texts in this study interrogate the dominant myths which have affected the constructs of identity and history in the white Australian socio-historical context. These myths are exposed by White as ideologically determined and as operating by processes of exclusion, repression and marginalisation. White challenges the autonomy of both European and Australian cultures, reveals the ideological complicity between them and adopts a critical approach to all Western cultural assumptions. As a post-colonial writer, White shares the need of both post-colonising and post-colonised groups for an identity established not in terms of the colonial power but in terms of themselves. As a dissident white male, he is a privileged member of the post- colonising group but one who rejects the dominant discourses as illegitimate and unlegitimating. He offers a re-writing of the myths underpinning colonial and post-colonising discourses which privileges their suppressed and repressed elements. His re-writings affect aboriginal men and women, white women and the 'privileged' white male whose subjection to social control is masked as unproblematic freedom. White's re-writing of myth enbraces the post-modern as well as the post- colonial. He not only deconstructs and demystifies the phallogocentric/ethnocentric order of things; he also attempts to avoid totalization by privileging indeterminacy, fragmentation, hybridization and those liminary states which defy articulation: the ecstatic, the abject, the unspeakable. He himself is denied authority in that his re-writings are presented as mere acts in the always provisional process of making interpretations. White acknowledges the problematics of both presentation and re-presentation - an unresolved tension between the post-colonial desire for self-definition and the post-modern decentring of all meaning and interpretation permeates his discourse. The close readings of the texts attempt, accordingly, to reflect varying oppositional strategies: those which seek to overturn hierarchies and expose power-relations and those which seek an idiom in which contemporary Australia may find its least distorted reflexion. Within this ideological context, the Lacanian thematics of the subject, and their re-writing by Kristeva, are linked with dialectical criticism in an attempt to reflect a strictly provisional process of (re) construction

Abstract:
Patrick white, prix nobel australien, auteur d'une oeuvre romanesque considerable et proteiforme, s'est aussi employe a souligner l'incapacite du langage verbal a dire l'essentiel. C'est peut-etre ce constat qui justifie l'interet perceptible de bout en bout dans sa fiction pour d'autres formes d'expression artistique, pour l'intertextualite heterosemiotique, pour le dialogisme trans-artistique ou l'utilisation de differents "langages" croises (litterature, musique, danse, chant, peinture). Apres avoir execute plusieurs portraits d'artistes inaboutis dans the aunt's story, the tree of man, voss et the solid mandala, l'ecrivian se focalise sur la peinture, mode artistique qu'il privilegie, peut-etre parce qu'elle est plus universelle et plus immediate dans sa perception que l'ecriture. White ecrit avec l'oeil du peintre, convoque tableaux ou peintres sous forme de citations, represente des personnages peintres dont la creation est mise en parallele avec celle du roman qui les cree. Il se livre a l'exploration systematisee de la peinture dans the vivisector, roman qui met en scene une figure d'artiste visionnaire, qui est aussi artiste-vivisecteur, dont la production est tant le produit de l'imagination et de l'esprit que du corps, et dont la quete picturale est aussi quete du sacre (l'identification est totale dans riders in the chariot). Mais dans toute l'oeuvre romanesque, en meme temps que l7ecriture cherche a produire des visions epiphaniques qui s'accompagnent de la creatons de figures de la totalite (mandala, lustre-chandelier. . . ), la voix auctoriale fait la part belle a l'ironie qui tourne souvent a tragique, patrick white
Patrick white, australian winner of the nobel prize and author of a considerable number of protean novels, has emphasized the inability of verbal language to convey what is essential. This perceived inability explains the interest throughout his work in toher forms of artistic expression, in nonliterary intertextuality, in transartistic dialogue or in the use of different cross- "langues" (literature, music, dancing, singing, painting). After drawing several portraits of frustrated of failed artists in the aunt's story, the tree man, voss and the solid mandala, white focuses on painting, an art form for which he shows a marked preference, perhaps because it is more universally and immedialtely perceivable than writing. White writes with the painter's eye; he quotes paintings and painters, and he portrays painters whose creation is paralleled by the novel which creates them. The systematically explores painting in the vivisector, a novel about a visionary artist, a vivisector-artist, whose painting is as much the product of the imagination and the mind as of the body, and whose pictural quest is also a quest for the sacred (in riders in the chariot, the two quests are one). But, throughout the novels and their attempt to reach epiphanic visions with the accompaying creation of figures of totality such as the mandala or the chandelier, the auctorial voice is more than tinged with ironic - even tragic - overtones, and patrick white thus achieves a

Full text
Abstract:
This study represents an exploration of White's concept of transcendence in The Tree of Man and Voss by means of a detailed account of some of the key patterns of imagery deployed in these novels. White's imagery is a key mode of expression in his work, not simply manifesting in overarching religious symbols and framing structures but figuring in constantly modulated tropes continuous with the narrative, as well as in minor, but no less significant images occasionally susceptible to etymological or onomastic reading. While no attempt is made to provide an exhaustive exploration of the tropes at work in these novels, a sufficient range of material is covered, and its metaphoric density adequately penetrated, to highlight and explore a fundamental concern in White's work with a paradoxical unity underlying the dualities inherent in temporal existence. A useful way of approaching his fiction is to view the perpetual modulations of his imagery as the dramatisation of an enantiodromia or play of opposites, in which the conflicts of duality are elaborated and paradoxically - though typically only momentarily - resolved. This resolution or coincidence of opposites is a significant feature of his notion of transcendence as well as his depictions of illuminatory experience, and in this respect White's metaphysics share an essential characteristic, not only of Christianity, but a range of religious and mythological systems concerned with expressing a transcendent reality. Despite these analogies, however, the novels at hand are not so tightly bound to Christian, or any other, meaning-making systems so as to constitute sustained allegories, and hence this study does not aim to chart a series of correspondences between White's images and biblical or mythological symbols. Indeed, a criticism often levelled at White - with The Tree of Man and Voss typically figuring in support of this claim - is that he too rigidly imposes religious frameworks on his work. An extension of this view is formulated in the Jungian critique of White's corpus offered by David Tacey, who argues that White's conception of transcendence is consistently challenged by the archetypal significance of the images he employs, which point to a contrary process of psycho-spiritual regression in his protagonists. In a fundamentally text-based approach, this study explores White's use of imagery while taking biblical resonances and archetypal interpretations into account, and suggests that, though White's images are highly allusive, they are not merely agents of imported Christian, or other traditional symbolic values. Nor do they undermine the authenticity of his depiction of the spirituality of his protagonists, or obtrude on the fabric of the narrative. Instead, the range of his images are - though often ambivalent - integral to a network of mercurial tropes which articulate and constantly evaluate a notion of transcendence through inflections and oscillations rather than equations of meaning.

Abstract:
Patrick white, ecrivain australien qui s'est senti deracine toute sa vie, a utilise le continent australien comme catalyseur d'une experience spirituelle. La presentation topographique et ethnographique laisse des lors rapidement la place a une sision plus personnelle, y compris la satire du comportement de ses compatriotes trop materialiste selon lui, et des intellectuels. Desireux de trouver un monde harmonieux, il ne sert de se cinq sens et de symboles communs a diverses cultures, diverses religions, et qui font partie de ce que c. G. Jung appelais "l'inconscient collectif". Citions par exemple les quatre elements les mysteres orphiques ou encore la religion et sa signification profonde. En effet, white se detacle de la religion etablie pour se consacrer a la necessite de la souffrance pour arriver a la redemption. Nombreux sont les personnages de ses romans qui, apres maintes epreuves, quittent leur "ecorce" intellectuelle pour prendre compte l'humanite dans son ensemble. L'infini est le but de white : comment l'apprehender, si ce n'est, nous suggere-t-il, par l'humilite, par la sensualite et un gout pour la vie, l'art aussi, emanation dy pouvoir spirituel de l'homme
Patrick white, an australian writer who felt he was uprooted, used the australian continent as the catalyst of a spiritual experience. The geographic and ethnographe discriptions soon give way to a more personnel vision, including the satire of his fellow citiezns who were materialistic according to him, and also the criticism of the intellectuals. Eager as he was to find harmony in this world, he used his five senses and symbols common to different cultures ans religions, and which are part of what c. C. Jung names "the collective unconscious". We shall quote for instance the four elements, orphic mysteries or religion and its profond significance. Indeed, white quickly turned away from all official religions and emphasized the necessity of suffering in order to know redemption. There are numeros characters in his novels who, having passed through quite a few ordeals, relinquish their intellectual "skin" and consider humanity as a whole. The infinite is white's aim : he suggests that one can only grasp it through an attitude of humility, through sensuousness and a willingness to live, through art also, which is a product of man's

Abstract:
Prior to attacking a Wal-Mart in El Paso, Texas, Patrick Crusius posted a manifesto on the notorious 8chan website in which he justifies his attack as a self-defensive response to the “Hispanic invasion of Texas.” While this manifesto certainly contains the irrationality necessary to justify mass murder, it also repeats and reinforces language and worldviews present in public discourse, especially in discourse from white nationalists. Analyzing the Crusius manifesto in context of this white nationalist public discourse reveals how language used and worldviews perpetuated by white nationalists ultimately construct an apocalyptic meta-narrative that transforms immigrants and refugees into dangerous invaders. By repeatedly telling stories that frame immigrants or refugees as criminals, invaders, and terrorists, white nationalists have constructed a meta-narrative that subsumes localized narratives, which means that any story about an immigrant seeking refuge in the United States becomes a story of an invader and criminal. Crusius repeats and reinforces this meta-narrative in his manifesto, drawing on the foundational white-nationalist French scholar Renaud Camus, whose “Great Replacement” theory claims that non-white populations are systematically replacing white populations, leading to a “white genocide.” Ultimately, the apocalypse in this meta-narrative is not a violent, devastating end to the United States, but rather the end of a structure dominated by whiteness and Western culture. It’s this perceived apocalypse that inspires Crusius’ violent response. Ultimately, this meta-narrative capitalizes on fear to transform genuine love of nation into a volatile xenophobia that can encourage a perceived need for violent self-defense. On the scholarly front, this research may reinforce the suggestion of scholar Dana Cloud, who claims that scholars and rhetors cannot challenge white nationalist irrationality with a rational approach, but rather with localized narratives that ground the experiences of immigrants and refugees in concrete details that foster empathy and understanding.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT As a professional and a theoretician of architecture, Patrik Schumacher has become a controversial figure in architecture and ethics discussions lately. After his statements on social housing problems in London (2016), he has been criticised and protested in many stages and even been called a provocateur in a column of The Guardian. However, it was not the first time he brought those criticisms against orthodox values of architecture. In his lectures in AA Graduate School – also in his books and other writings – he had already defined his theoretical perspective regarding ethical discussions of architecture. However, when he started to spread out his opinions on social media platforms, this made those statements more visible and open to fast-track critiques while also staging non-academic reactions to his perspective. This paper aims to argue the ongoing discussions against Schumacher in terms of the ethical concerns of architecture by questioning the fundamental values of the profession (if any). The paper aims neither to agree nor to disagree with his statements but to understand the ethical perceptions and/or goals of architecture from the societal perspective within this particular case. To achieve this aim, the paper firstly analyses the definition of architectural ethics and continues with positioning the Schumacher-based discussions in this theoretical frame. The article mainly focuses on the discussions on the most visited architectural digital media platforms to understand the motive of the societal reactions. Related platforms have been determined with the help of Alexa Analytics, and the first five of them have been evaluated within the scope. In conclusion, this research proposes to offer a new understanding of what could be contemporary ethical paradigms in architecture with the help of a case, social values of architecture versus Patrick Schumacher. Keywords: Patrik Schumacher, ethics, ethical paradigms in architecture, humanitarian architecture, architectural media platforms.

Abstract:
In contemporary society – according to Dennis Potter’s dictum – citizens have been transformed into consumers. The shift in social power behind this process is mirrored in the changing shape of the city. Tel Aviv, founded just eighty five years ago, is an extreme example of the interaction between urban conceptions and configurations and dominant social forces. By means of a schematic section through the history of the city, this paper attempts an assessment of the role of those forces and conceptions – or their absence – in determining the nature and scope of the present transformations of the urban fabric. Tel-Aviv is an assemblage of past and recent urban utopias, constrained by conditions, scaled-down and transformed, but still identifiable and influential. Partly “collision city” and partly “collage city” – in Colin Rowe’s terms – its growth, while chronologically continuous, resulted in a fragmented pattern; each district reflecting the urban ideals and historical conditions under which it came into being. Four determinant stages can be detected in the ascent of the city.

<p>Mary Elmes Bridge is a 66m single span Pedestrian and Cyclist bridge opening in Cork, Ireland in July 2019. In September 2016, Cork City Council launched a competition for a single span – no supports in the river were allowed- pedestrian crossing over the River Lee between the historic bridges of St. Patrick’s (a stone arch form 1860’s) and Brian Boru (a former rolling bascule from 1920). The competition was launched as part of Cork City Councils key objective to encourage greater sustainable travel in the form of walking and cycling within the city Centre.</p><p>Constrained by heavy trafficked quay roads, the design of a single span 66m crossing was a real challenge when taking into account that the flooding level for the 200years return is 400mm higher than the existing footpaths. The winning solution is a slender, steel shallow through beam with a slight arching effect. The main span is fully integral with the abutments with the central steel box girder and variable width cantilevered walkways joining at both landing points to a stiff concrete piled foundations. The concept adopts a clever strategy to integrate at grade landings with existing footpath levels while making the structure compatible with future city flood defenses. The use of the pedestrian walkway as a flange in the longitudinal direction allows the structure to achieve a significant slenderness.</p><p>This proposal establishes a connective dialogue with its surrounds and compliant with challenging flooding and visual requirements.</p>

Abstract:
Históricamente, las personas han tratado de adaptar el entorno a sus necesidades. Hoy en día, el diseñar adecuadamente un entorno implica tener en cuenta a todos los usuarios. Por ello, la accesibilidad ha pasado a ser una característica básica a tener en cuenta desde el inicio de cualquier proyecto, lo que introduce la cuestión de cómo intervenir el patrimonio histórico para hacerlo accesible, es decir, cómo plantear la intervención en monumentos, jardines históricos, hallazgos arqueológicos, etc., teniendo en cuenta que todas las personas tenemos derecho a acceder al patrimonio como una parte fundamental de nuestra propia cultura. A pesar de ello, muchos de los bienes patrimoniales presentan barreras importantes de acceso. Además, la posibilidad de actuación sobre estos bienes es limitada debido a las necesidades de conservación de los mismos como parte fundamental de la cultura. Combinar los conceptos de patrimonio y accesibilidad puede parecer contradictorio, debido a que el primero busca intervenciones mínimas mientras que el segundo requiere de intervenciones que eliminen las barreras de acceso con el fin de conseguir una accesibilidad integral. El reto radica en facilitar el acceso a los contenidos de los bienes patrimoniales por toda la población. Para ello, es necesario el desarrollo de metodología específica para hacer accesible el patrimonio y que tenga en cuenta sus características especiales y sus necesidades de conservación. Actualmente, el proyecto “PATRAC Patrimonio Accesible: I+D+i para una cultura sin barreras” (proyecto liderado por GEOCISA y LABEIN en el que participa el IBV con otros 22 socios) ha desarrollado esta metodología incluyendo un análisis de la diversidad funcional de la población española, un análisis de las barreras existentes en el patrimonio español, un análisis de los productos de apoyo que pueden facilitar la accesibilidad al patrimonio y, al mismo tiempo, se está abordando el desarrollo de productos específicos que permitan el acceso a la cultura de todos. Con el objetivo de desarrollar los productos y sistemas necesarios para garantizar un acceso seguro y confortable al monumento, de forma no discriminatoria, para todos los ciudadanos, y de forma compatible con el bien cultural y reversible, tanto en las fases de conservación, como en la de “explotación” del patrimonio existente. En este contexto el IBV está desarrollando junto con AZTECA y ACCIONA soluciones específicas para la accesibilidad horizontal consistentes en estructuras ligeras con pavimentos cerámicos que permitan la inclusión de elementos que aporten información y orientación sobre el bien patrimonial y con un impacto reducido. Este sistema mejoraría la accesibilidad a la vez que permitiría distinguir la intervención con respecto del original. Para la construcción de un pavimento cerámico sobre-elevado accesible se deben considerar los aspectos que deben satisfacer los pavimentos en cuanto a su seguridad, su accesibilidad, y las cargas asociadas al uso. Además, el producto resultante habrá de tener en cuenta los requisitos emocionales y funcionales de los usuarios. Este desarrollo se espera que tenga un gran impacto debido a que de esta forma se conseguirá el acceso al patrimonio de visitantes que hasta ahora han tenido grandes dificultades, permitiendo que disfruten del derecho de acceder a los bienes patrimoniales y teniendo también en cuenta las necesidades de conservación del bien patrimonial. Historically, people have tried to adapt the environment to their needs. Today to design adequately an environment it is required to keep on mind all the potential users. Therefore, accessibility has become a basic condition to consider from the very beginning of the any architectural project. So, access to heritage is a right for all the people as a fundamental part of its own culture, which poses the issue: how to intervene in built heritage to make it accessible, which includes monuments, historic gardens and archaeological sites without excessive disturbance. There are important barriers in many heritage sites. Besides, the possibilities for intervention in the heritage are limited due to the needs of conservation as an important part of the culture. The novelty to combine the concepts of heritage and accessibility at first may seem antithetical, because the first looks to preserve existing assets while the second tends to remove whatever is possible to achieve integral accessibility. The thread connecting both ideas is the usability of the property by the entire population. To do so, it is very important to have tools and methodologies to make accessible the heritage and to take into account their special characteristics and needs. Currently, the project "PATRAC Accessible Heritage: R & D for a culture without barriers" (project led by GEOCISA LABEIN and in which the IBV with 22 other partners) has developed a methodology including an analysis of the functional diversity of Spanish population, an analysis of existing barriers in the Spanish heritage, an analysis of the product support that can facilitate access to heritage and at the same time, it is addressing the development of specific products that enable access to heritage for all the people. The goal is to develop products and systems that ensure a safe and comfortable access to the heritage for all citizens, in a reversible way which ensures the compatibility with the cultural assets, in phases of conservation and exploitation of existing buildings. In this context, an example of how to improve horizontal access is the creation of specific floors, which are being developed by AZTECA, ACCIONA and IBV. The idea is to use an in-ground-present irregularities elevated walkways composite tile digitally printed with the original pavement and the proper signals. Such a system improves the accessibility of the path and at the same time allow distinguish the intervention from the original. For the construction of a ceramic surface on high-accessible areas, requirements regarding safety, accessibility and use loads of the pavement should be took in account. Moreover, the resulting product will have to take into account emotional and functional requirements of users. The impact is very high by the novelty of the topic of the project. The devices to be generated will enable to carry out visits without any difficulty for the part of users who today have the biggest problems for access to the property because of their condition. And it will take in account the conservation needs of the heritage as well.
