The present thesis investigated the process of gross motor skill acquisition in the context of how movement pattern characteristics are organized and modified as a result of learning. The process of multisegmental skill acquisition was studied using performance production measures as a window to explore stable and transient changes in the movement control process. Bernstein's principles of exploitation of motion dependent torques, and the minimization of the degree of freedom were tested.
Twenty 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.

Screenplay for animated feature film. Story and characters are based on a short novel, The Adventures of Hank the Cowdog. first in a series. This adaptation aims to translate the humor and unique dog-centered perspective of the original source into the medium of film. Hank the Cowdog, head of security on an isolated ranch, works undercover inside a pack of coyotes to solve a series of chicken murders. To solve the case, Hank defends his ranch, sheep and chickens from a devious and powerful coyote leader, Scraunch. With help from a variety of friends and a change in attitude, Hank saves the ranch. Screenplay places detective film conventions in an action-adventure cartoon format. Thesis includes notes on adaptation process.

Streszczenie:

The butterfly family Lycaenidae (including the Riodinidae) contains an estimated 30% of all butterfly species and exhibits a diverse array of life history strategies. The early stages of most lycaenids associate with ants to varying degrees, ranging from casual facultative coexistence through to obligate association where the long-term survival of the butterfly is dependent on the presence of its attendant ants. Attendant ants guard the butterflies against predators and parasites during their vulnerable period of larval growth and pupation. The caterpillars, in return, reward the ants by providing attractive secretions from specialized glands in their cuticle. The prevalence of caterpillar-ant associations in the species rich Lycaenidae is in contrast with other Lepidoptera, where ant association appears only as isolated cases in otherwise non ant-associated lineages. This has led to the proposal that ant association may have influenced lycaenid diversification or even enhanced the rates of speciation in the group. In contrast, facultative ant-associated butterflies exhibit high levels of host plant integrity, so it is reasonable to assume that host plants may have played a significant role in their diversification. Since the influence of ants (or plants) on diversification is independent of geographic speciation modes such as vicariance or peripheral isolates, there is an underlying inference of sympatric speciation. Certain prerequisites thought to be important for sympatric speciation, such as mating on the host plant (or in the presence of the appropriate ant) as well as ant dependent oviposition preferences are characteristic of many obligate myrmecophiles. Not surprisingly, it has been suggested that evidence for sympatric speciation is more likely to be found in the Insecta since this additional mode of diversification could account for the large numbers of insect species. This thesis tested the diversification processes in obligate and facultative ant associated lycaenids using comparative methodologies in hierarchical molecular phylogenetic analyses. First, several hypotheses relating to the influence of ants on diversification in obligately ant associated lycaenid butterflies were tested in a phylogeographic analysis of the Australian endemic Jalmenus evagoras. The phylogeographic analysis revealed that regional isolation of butterfly subpopulations coincident with locally adapted ant taxa could generate a phylogenetic pattern in which related lycaenids would be seen to associate with related or ecologically similar ants. Likewise, ecological shifts in habitat preferences by lycaenids could lead to co-diversification with habitat specialist ants, even though in both cases, the ants may play only an incidental role in the diversification process. A comparative methodology was then applied in a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the genus Jalmenus to test for a signal of diversification consistent with shifts in ant partners, and to infer the processes by which ants could influence speciation. Several other specific hypotheses relating to monophyly and taxonomy were also examined. Comparative analysis of the Jalmenus phylogeny found that attendant ant shifts coincided with high levels of sympatry among sister species. This pattern could be explained by sympatric speciation; however, data suggested it was more likely that ant shifts occurred during butterfly population expansions as a result of vegetation and climate changes in the Pleistocene. Fragmentation of populations associating with novel ants could promote rapid ecological and behavioural changes and this could result in reproductive isolation of conspecifics when in secondary contact. Diversification would then continue in sympatry. In contrast, secondary contact of populations associating with the same ant species would result in homogenisation of the two lycaenid lineages or the extinction of one. A phylogeographic analysis of the facultative myrmecophiles, Theclinesthes albocincta/T. hesperia, was then undertaken to infer the evolutionary processes (such as the effects of host plant shifts) that could result in extant demographics. Species-specific questions of taxonomy, relative population ages and dispersal routes in arid Australia were also addressed. Results from the analysis suggested the two taxa were conspecific and had diversified in the late Pleistocene as a consequence of isolation in refugia in and around the arid areas of mainland Australia. However, as was the case in the J. evagoras population analysis in which attendant ant shifts were not detected, host plant shifts were not detected in the population analysis of T. albocincta/hesperia. Host plant or attendant ant shifts manifest more frequently at the species level, thus it was necessary to test the influence of host plant shifts at this higher level. The comparative methodology was then applied to a molecular phylogenetic analysis of the facultative ant-associated section Theclinesthes (comprising Theclinesthes, Sahulana and Neolucia) to test for modes of diversification consistent with host plant shifts. The relative importance of other influences on diversification was also assessed. Akin to the Jalmenus analysis, the prediction that sister species ranges should broadly overlap when a shift in host plants had taken place was upheld in the comparative analysis. Species in the genera Jalmenus and Theclinesthes were found to have diversified in the Pleistocene so were subject to the same climatic oscillations that influenced patterns of vegetation expansion and contraction across much of Australia. Thus, the similarity and predictability of relationships in the comparative analyses based on biological data suggested that host plant shifts have influenced diversification in facultative myrmecophiles by inhibiting gene flow in secondary contact in similar fashion to that of attendant ant shifts identified in the Jalmenus phylogeny. Interpretation of data in these analyses suggested that allopatric diversification was the most common mode of speciation. Isolation was inferred to be the result of fragmentation following long distance dispersal across wide expanses of marginal habitat, or vicariance following the closing of biogeographical barriers. However, attendant-ant and host-plant shifts clearly played an important role in the diversification process, and in the maintenance of species integrity among lycaenid butterflies. Furthermore, exceptions to the predicted patterns of range overlap and ecological shifts provided clues to additional modes of diversification including shifts in habitat preferences and an unusual temporal shift following changes in specific host plant phenology resulting in allochronic diversification. Inferring modes of diversification using comparative methods based on range overlap and biological traits in a phylogenetic context is not new; however, the interpretation presented in this thesis is in contrast with contemporary methods. It is clear that the patterns of species range overlap and the ecological preferences of sister taxa are intimately related among lycaenid species that diversified during the Pleistocene. As a result, different influences on diversification can be highlighted in phylogenies when applying existing comparative methodologies but without necessarily drawing the same conclusions about modes of diversification. A more inclusive explanation for patterns of range overlap among sister taxa is detailed, a consequence of which is a method for estimating rates of extinction in a phylogeny where comprehensive distributional, biological and taxonomic data are available. These patterns and predictions may be applicable to a range of taxa, especially those that have diversified in the Pleistocene. Plans for future studies are outlined.

Streszczenie:

A defining feature of the non-flying mammal pollinated (NMP) syndrome is inflorescence crypsis whereby flowers are close to the ground and somewhat hidden within the canopy. A number of species in the Cape Proteaceae are NMP, two of which were chosen as focal species for this study: Protea amplexicaulis and Protea humiflora. This study investigated the two previously suggested hypotheses for crypsis: hidden flowers are more difficult for nectarivorous birds to access, or hidden flowers provide greater cover for small mammal pollinators from aerial predators. Using remote triggered cameras, P. amplexicaulis and P. humiflora inflorescences were observed over the 2017 flowering period, noting visitation by birds and small mammals and assessing the legitimacy of birds as pollinators. In the literature, bird visitation to exposed inflorescences is suggested to be rare, but this study showed that it is considerable. Observations of camera footage suggest that birds are in fact illegitimate pollinators and thus nectar rob. Bird visitation to exposed inflorescences was more than tenfold that of hidden inflorescences, suggesting that crypsis is likely a strategy to avoid nectar robbing by birds. Both P. amplexicaulis and P. humiflora have been observed to retain dead leaves, which may contribute to their cryptic nature. Alternative hypotheses for dead leaf retention in Proteaceae – that it may increase flammability or result in a below canopy spike in nutrients post fire (selfish fertilization) – were assessed and rejected. Sampling of eight local Protea species showed that dead leaf retention is not a consequence of prolonged live leaf retention, with P. amplexicaulis retaining dead leaves for up to 6 years. The removal of dead leaves in 30 P. amplexicaulis individuals resulted in a significant decrease in the number of inflorescences hidden from aerial view, thus suggesting that dead leaf retention may be a strategy to enhance crypsis and thus forms part of the NMP syndrome. This research expands on the knowledge of the NMP syndrome; providing evidence in support of an anti- nectar robbing crypsis function, discovering a novel crypsis adaptation regarding dead leaf retention, and casting doubt on the Restricted Distributions hypothesis for the evolution of the syndrome.

Littérature ou imposture ? Les adaptations théâtrales de romans français au XIXe siècle envahissent les scènes parisiennes sous la plume des plus grands écrivains : Paul de Kock, Alexandre Dumas père, Eugène Sue, Paul Féval, George Sand, Alexandre Dumas fils, Octave Feuillet, Jules Sandeau, Emile Zola, Alphonse Daudet, Edmond de Goncourt, Jules Verne… Spéculant sur la popularité d’un roman, elles entraînent dans une spirale créative redondante auteurs, directeurs de théâtre et public, tous prisonniers volontaires d’un système de production fondé sur le lucre. Le roman déborde le cadre étroit du théâtre. Le lit de Procuste se métamorphose en boîte de Pandore. Du texte au hors-texte, le roman transporté au théâtre bouscule tous les codes dramatiques référentiels (génériques, structurels, stylistiques, thématiques et spectaculaires), se joue de la conventionnelle Dame Anastasie et affronte une critique dramatique majoritairement hostile, désorientée par une nouvelle poétique d’origine imitative. Du roman-feuilleton à sa dérivation théâtrale, l’imitation, au sens de copie avec transformation, essence de la création littéraire dans son acception aristotélicienne, modifie le paysage dramatique. Invention ou copie ? La propriété littéraire dicte sa loi au sein de conventions littéraires internationales. Le procédé de l’adaptation théâtrale de romans est légalisé en 1886 lors du Congrès de Berne. De « l’imitation » à « l’adaptation », la dérivation en littérature acquiert un statut d’œuvre seconde, œuvre secondaire, indigne de l’histoire littéraire
Literature 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

Streszczenie:

Stieg Larsson has reached vast audiences with his popular, page-turning crime novels, the Millennium Series. The series tells a story not just for fictional purposes, but to draw attention to what people did not see about the society that Larsson lived in. In 2009, local actors starred in a film adaptation of Larsson’s first novel, which went beyond the Swedish public. In December 2011 an English-language remake based on the same bestseller was released, starring famous Hollywood actors. Considering language can hinder the reach of foreign language movies in international markets and that international and Swedish audiences demands differ, the current research aims to find out how the two movie adaptations diverge in terms of gender representation, production, graphic content, ideological meaning, and cultural representation as they attempt to target their respective audiences. In order to find answers, this thesis adopted a qualitative approach using two different, supporting methods. First a semiotic analysis of a representative scene with a high psychological and graphic impact on the viewer in both movies was conducted. Second, focus group interviews, with International and Swedish audience members, were conducted. The findings suggest that considerable differences exist between the two movies and that audiences have a different pre-conception in the way they perceive the same media product: gender role dynamic has been reversed in the two movies, the American version is more graphic in its display of nudity, and lacks the ideological layer. Furthermore, this study can serve as a basis for future research that could try to statistically represent the way Swedish and international moviegoers draw on the two adaptations.

Streszczenie:

Souvent décriée comme production d’une littérature de seconde main, constamment pratiquée par le théâtre contemporain, l’adaptation, mal définie, négligée par la critique, est rarement théorisée par ceux qui la pratiquent. À partir d’un corpus composé d’une trentaine d’œuvres narratives, allant de L’Astrée d’Honoré d’Urfé (1607-1625) au Dom Carlos de Saint-Réal (1672), et de près de quatre-vingts adaptations, cette étude analyse l’adaptation théâtrale de fiction narrative comme une pratique d’écriture unifiée, que reprend et amende chaque dramaturge. Définissant rigoureusement l’adaptation, ce travail construit, par l’étude des textes et une contextualisation théorique circonstanciée, des outils d’analyse qui identifient et évitent les apories des théories de l’adaptation. Cette grille de lecture rhétorique permet alors de suivre dans ses principaux procédés le geste d’écriture adaptatif, de la sélection de la matière romanesque à la composition puis l’écriture de la pièce de théâtre, jusqu’à son actualisation sur scène : se définit ainsi une poétique de l’adaptation transmodale, qui perturbe le fonctionnement des parties de la rhétorique et met en jeu les potentialités du medium dramatique. Cette pratique, qui confirme ou infirme les genres dramatiques, dans une dynamique tantôt topique, tantôt créatrice, comporte ainsi des enjeux esthétiques. Lieu de circulation et d’invention des formes littéraires, d’un jeu intertextuel complexe dont le miroitement est démultiplié par une réception à plusieurs niveaux, l’adaptation théâtrale exhibe sa littérarité, et mérite une place dans le paysage littéraire français du XVIIe siècle, dont elle restaure l’épaisseur et la richesse
Often 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

Streszczenie:

Hormis son dernier film en date, Resnais a toujours refusé d’adapter des romans tout en ne travaillant, durant de nombreuses années, qu’avec des écrivains avant tout romanciers. Premier de ses films à avoir été écrit par un dramaturge de formation, Providence (1977) met pourtant en scène un vieil écrivain malade et alcoolique en train d’imaginer les scènes tour à tour horrifiques et comiques d’un ultime roman dont les héros ne sont autres que ses proches. Ce paradoxe fonde le présent essai, centré sur un film d’une rare exactitude en matière de création littéraire et dont la structure en diptyque met à nu les rapports de la fiction et du réel. Réhabilitant la notion de « cinéma littéraire » tout en faisant éclater le cadre trop réducteur de l’adaptation et en posant le récit et non le spectacle comme enjeu majeur chez Resnais, cette étude explore les liens plus intimes existant entre les livres et les films. Permettant de revenir sur des romanciers fondamentaux de la modernité tels que Melville, Proust et Faulkner, la machine cinématographique de Resnais trouve peut-être dans leurs textes son meilleur usage. Et c’est ainsi que, employé dans toute son active spécularité, Providence révèle les profondes affinités qu’entretiennent l’écriture et le suicide. Tourmenté par celui de son épouse qu’il pose au centre d’une histoire où les vieillards, changés en loups-garous, sont parqués dans les stades d’extermination d’un état de terreur, du fond de son manoir nocturne de Providence, le grantécrivain et pathétique démiurge s’escrime à nous faire peur avec sa propre agonie : c’est peut-être ce qui fait de lui le plus véridique de tous les auteurs abymés au cinéma
AApart 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

In this thesis the process of adaptation from novel to film is examined. La Bête humaine by Emile Zola and the film version by Jean Renoir provide specific examples. The starting point is the assumption, often made by cinema audiences, that the film should be "faithful" to the novel upon which it is based. A statement made by Renoir regarding his efforts to be true to what he describes as the "spirit of the book" is quoted to illustrate the prevalence of this attitude. Novel and film are then compared in order to test Renoir's claim to fidelity. What is revealed are the differences between the two. Through an examination of character, action, and space some of the reasons for the director's departure from the novel begin to emerge and it becomes increasingly clear that Renoir was obliged to adopt a different approach. Theme and form are then examined and the organic nature of their relationship suggested. Finally, the departure of the film from the novel is traced to the very different ways in which the two media function — linearity in the written medium as opposed to simultaneity in the cinematic medium — and the indelible nature of the association of theme and form is confirmed. In conclusion, the view that the media should and do correspond is found to be mistaken, and Renoir's statement is re-evaluated and assessed as an attempt, by a director sensitive to the public's insistence on fidelity, to disarm criticism.

Unlike desert rodents from North America, Allenby’s gerbil (Gerbillus andersoni allenbyi) from the Negev Desert, Israel has evolved with snakes that do not have heat-sensitive sensory pits that enhance night vision. Does this history affect their ability to assess and respond to a snake that has this ability? As a test, we exposed gerbils to risk of predation from various predators, including snakes, owls, and foxes. The snakes included the Saharan horned viper (Cerastes cerastes) and the sidewinder rattlesnake (Crotalus cerastes). The former snake lacks sensory pits and shares a common evolutionary history with the gerbil. The latter snake, while convergent evolutionarily on the horned viper, has sensory pits and no prior history with the gerbil. The gerbils exploited depletable resource patches similarly, regardless of snake species and moon phase. While the gerbils did not respond to the novel snake as a greater threat than their familiar horned viper, the gerbils were cognizant that the novel predator was a threat. In response to both snakes, giving-up densities (GUDs; the amount of food left in a resource patch following exploitation) of the gerbils were higher in the bush than open microhabitat. In response to moonlight, GUDs were higher on full than on the new moon. Based on GUDs, the gerbils responded most to the risk of predation from the red fox, least from the two snake species, and intermediate for the barn owl. Keywords:

This is a comparative analysis of two film adaptations (from 1943 and 2011) of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre, with a focus on the male characters. My aim is to study how patriarchal control is adapted for the screen, compared to the original novel. The focus is on the characters John Reed, Mr. Brocklehurst, Mr. Rochester and St. John Rivers. The analysis is about how the filmmakers depict the essence of the characters, why they chose to do so and what determinants influenced the two films; furthermore, how this affects Jane’s character and her pursuit for independence. The thesis of this essay is that there is a difference in the interpretation of the male characters in the two films compared to the novel Jane Eyre and this affects Jane’s pursuit for independence. My conclusion is that although the films differ in narration and filming technique, the strongest impact on the discourse is the changed script due to politics and production code.

This paper aims at analyzing the relation between Vladimir Nabokov s novel Lolita (1955) and Stanley Kubrick s and Adrian Lyne s film adaptations of the novel, the former released in 1962 and the latter in 1997. We will base our study on French semiotics, also known as greimasian semiotics, to analyze the effects of meaning created by the different actantial roles played by the narrator, Humbert Humbert, in the novel and the strategies used in the filmic discourses to create the same effects in certain sequences in order to honor the original work or, on the contrary, to create different effects in order to revise it in some aspects, adapting it to their target audience, which was different from the one which had only had contact with the book because they lived in a different time and had expectations of how the movies would treat controversial subject matters that had been raised in the novel.

Streszczenie:

La thèse porte sur l’adaptation cinématographique d’une œuvre littéraire considérée comme inadaptable, Le Hussard sur le toit de Giono, paru en 1951. Le roman de Giono et le film de Jean-Paul Rappeneau, sorti en 1995 et portant le même titre sont tous les deux une représentation fictionnelle d’un passé historique. Le roman et le film racontent l’histoire d’un exilé politique italien qui se conduit en héros généreux lors d’une épidémie de choléra au XIXe siècle en France, mais ils utilisent des codes différents et ont chacun des éléments constitutifs spécifiques. Notre démarche a eu pour but de savoir quelles sont les logiques respectives du récit romanesque et du récit cinématographique. Pour cela, après avoir défini l’adaptation, nous avons situé le roman et sa signification dans l’oeuvre de l’auteur, puis nous avons dégagé les caractéristiques de l’univers romanesque de Giono, qui écrit souvent à la manière d’un cinéaste. Nous avons étudié le film du point de vue des étapes successives de sa réalisation, du scénario au tournage et au montage, en montrant quelles étaient ses techniques et comment la diffusion a été faite. Nous avons ainsi montré qu’il y avait plusieurs transcodages du texte au film. Nous avons comparé les deux récits et nous avons trouvé que le cinéaste doit répondre à des contraintes techniques, et structurer en fonction du médium filmique. Rappeneau fait des transformations et met en valeur l’histoire d’amour du roman, en conservant son esthétique. Il propose donc sa lecture de l’œuvre et son interprétation. Le cinéma permet de découvrir de nouvelles œuvres, celles qu’il réalise et aussi celles qu’il adapte. Il permet ainsi d’initier à la culture. Ces aspects sont très importants dans la transmission d’une langue, en particulier le FLE dans le contexte soudanais. C’est pourquoi nous proposons une exploitation didactique basée sur notre expérience à l’université. L’analyse littéraire et filmique sont des moyens pour transmettre et comparer la langue et la culture, faire connaître une société et renforcer la motivation dans une ambiance de plaisir. Ce sont des sources de connaissance et de savoir-faire
The 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

Streszczenie:

The work included in this thesis aims at exploring the environmental sensitivity of benefits and costs of sexual selection through a combined empirical and theoretical effort, to increase our understanding of the impact of environmental change on sexually reproducing populations.Can sexual selection promote adaptation to novel environments? Sexual selection for good genes should accelerate adaptation by granting higher reproductive success to individuals of high genetic quality. However, sexual conflict is a frequent outcome of sexual reproduction and may often be detrimental to population fitness. Experimental evolution has shown that the role of sexual selection in adaptation is variable, because of a complex balance between the detrimental and beneficial effects described above.The present thesis is investigating the role of sexual selection in adaptation by focusing on the sex-specific strength of selection and the intensity of intralocus sexual conflict (IaSC) in ancestral and novel environments. The sex-specific strength of selection is a valuable proxy for the benefits of sexual reproduction, since a male-bias in selection caused by sexual selection should allow efficient purging of deleterious alleles with little impact on female fecundity and cost to population fitness.This thesis investigates both sex-specific selection and IaSC across benign and novel environments in two species of seed beetles, Callosobruchus maculatus and Acanthoscelides obtectus, and includes a theoretical model of the effect of environmental change on of sexual selection. The empirical part of my results indicates that, generally, selection at the adult stage is male biased but that this male bias may be reduced under stress, pointing towards reduced benefits of sexual selection under rapid environmental change. Additional simulations suggest that the frequency dependent nature of sexual selection alone could explain this trend. No empirical support was found for the reduction of IaSC under stress.It is becoming crucial today to understand the impact of environmental change on natural populations. This thesis brings new material adding to our understanding of the role of sexual selection within that particular issue. The outcome of sexual selection is dependent on a variety of mechanisms, such as good genes processes and sexual conflict, which are very likely to be dependent on ecological factors and specificity of the system studied. For that reason, carefully controlled experiments on laboratory systems and mathematical modelling are necessary steps that should ultimately lead to the study of similar questions in natural systems.

This thesis examines the process of adaptation of Shakespeare’s plays into the graphic novel medium. It traces the history of these adaptations from the first comic books produced in the mid-twentieth century to graphic novels produced in the twenty-first century. The editions used for examination have been selected as they are indicative of key developments in the history of adaptation of Shakespeare’s plays into the medium. This thesis explores how the plays are presented and the influences on the styles of presentation. It traces the history of the form and how the adaptations have been received in various periods. It also examines how the combination of illustrations and text and the conventions of the medium produce unique narrative capacities, how these have developed over time and how they used to present the plays. Sales data of Shakespeare graphic novels is presented and analysed to reveal the target audience is the education sector which in turn drives the publisher’s promotion of the authenticity and fidelity of their editions. How authenticity is claimed and invoked in the adaptation into graphic novels is also examined.

Streszczenie:

Adaptation of novels and other source texts into theatre has proven to be a recurring and popular form of writing through the ages. This study argues that as the theoretical discourse has moved on from outmoded notions of fidelity to original sources, the practice of adaptation is a method of re-invigorating theatre forms and inventing new ones. This practice-led research employed a tripartite methodology comprised of the writing of two play adaptations, participation by the author/researcher in their productions, and exegetical components focused on the development and deployment of analytical tools. These tools were derived from theoretical literature and a creative practice based on acquired professional artistry "learnt by doing" over a longstanding professional career as actor, director and writer. A suite of analytical tools was developed through the three phases of the first project, the adaptation of Nick Earls’ novel Perfect Skin. The tools draw on Cardwell’s "comparative analysis", which encompasses close consideration of generic context, authorial context and medium-specific context; and on Stam’s "mechanics of narrative": order, duration, frequency, the narrator and point of view. A third analytical lens was developed from an awareness of the significance of the commissioning brief and ethical considerations and obligations to the source text and its author and audience. The tripartite methodology provided an adaptation template that was applied to the writing and production of the second play Red Cap, which used factual and anecdotal sources. The second play’s exegesis (Chapter 10) analyses the effectiveness of the suite of analytical tools and the reception of the production in order to conclude the study with a workable model for use in the practice of adapting existing texts, both factual and fictional, for the theatre.

Streszczenie:

This thesis explores the dynamic relationship between the nineteenth-century novel and the screen, interrogating evolving trends in film and television adaptation from the mid-1990s to 2009. In contrast to many other studies in this field, such productions are understood as both adaptations and ‘costume dramas’, whilst the often neglected televisual context is highlighted alongside the paratexts which shape and surround adaptations. At the same time, the enduring (yet often dismissed) notion of ‘fidelity’ is recognised and developed, as expectations of faithfulness extend beyond the literary text to privilege the legacies of prior adaptations. As this thesis will show, classic-novel adaptations are increasingly framed by change and tension, as movements towards ‘contemporising’ representations of the past, and reinvigorating costume drama, have been shadowed by a growing unease with the stylistic innovation and ubiquity of the genre. An introductory chapter outlines theoretical approaches towards, and critical studies of, adaptation and costume drama, contextualising this thesis whilst defining new directions for study. Chapter one focuses upon Jane Austen, re-exploring the significance of Andrew Davies’s Pride and Prejudice (1995) and examining ‘Austenmania’s’ tense pull between tradition and innovation. Chapter two considers how conflicting perceptions of what constitutes ‘Gaskellian’ become interlinked with the struggle to characterise contemporary period adaptation. Chapter three explores the evolving interrelationship between the Brontës, the ‘Brontë Myth’ and the screen, whilst chapter four readdresses the long history of adapting Dickens, the ‘Dickensian’ film redefined by Davies’s ‘soap-like’ treatment of Bleak House (2005). A concluding chapter examines classic-novel adaptation in 2009, returning to Austen as emblematic of many of the issues confronting the genre, and offering some thoughts about its immediate future. Above all, this study interrogates the ever-shifting relationship between text and screen, enabling refreshing interpretations of both novel and adaptation.

Streszczenie:

The thesis is concerned with British television classic-novel adaptations and their cultural significance. It interrogates at some length the arguments of comparative theorists and critics, and examines the implicit presumptions and conceptualisations that have determined their various influential approaches. The thesis develops an alternative understanding of these programmes, explicitly resisting a traditional comparative approach, and instead exploring a genre and the broader textual, cultural and social discourses within which it exists. The texts are conceived as sites of interplay between discourses about the past, the present, television and, reflexively, the genre itself, and are explored through close textual analysis that focuses on these concerns. British television classic-novel adaptations establish a generic microcosm that can be identified by its characteristic tropes of content (in particular, representations of the past), style and mood(s). Traditionally, this microcosm has been justifiably associated with nostalgia; however, whilst the nostalgic mode is still prevalent, generic development and the influence of (post)modern cultural discourses have resulted in the possibility of a wider range of meanings and consequent interpretations. In addition, classic-novel adaptations are necessarily and problematically situated within the context of the televisual, and the televisual context has impacted upon the genre's identity and development. The thesis elucidates the specificity of the televisual - highlighting its 'presentness', 'performativity', and intertextuality. The salience of a limited range of theories of the postmodern to the proffered conceptualisations of televisuality and (post)nostalgia is indicated. Informed by detailed conceptualisations of postmodern nostalgia and the televisual, the genre is examined textually, contextually and intertextually. The thesis therefore aims to reconfigure the theoretical assumptions behind the study of adaptation and propose an alternative conceptual and interpretative framework, grounding the study in detailed discussion of adaptations made in Britain over a twenty-year period (1980s and 1990s).

This thesis traces Hardy's involvement in the theatre from the 1880s to the 1920s. The narrative of Hardy's relationship with the theatre is set against an analysis of the changing nature of the stage during this period, though I acknowledge throughout the thesis the fact that Hardy's awareness of the theatre did not perfectly keep pace with its evolution. The aim of the thesis is to examine the motivations determining Hardy's work in the theatre in light of the fact that he seemed so dismissive of its efficacy. I trace the history of Hardy's adaptations of his work for the stage, before setting the scripts against the novels in order to weigh the extent to which the novels resist translation into a different medium – whether there is something integral to Hardy's plots that cannot be conveyed on stage. I have chosen to focus predominantly on material that made it beyond a rough sketch on a scrap of paper, on projects that reached the stage of rewritings and commercial negotiations - often years before they were produced. My selection has been determined by the belief that the material is indicative of the development of Hardy's understanding of the relationship between his work and the possibilities adaptation offered. My first chapter, on the history of an adaptation of 'Far From the Madding Crowd' in 1882, argues that Hardy's collaboration with J. Comyns Carr on the script was driven by his desire to assert his copyright over the novel's afterlife. The adaptation may never have been performed, but simply have been registered with the Lord Chamberlain as a deterrent against unauthorised adapters. It was the plagiarism row over Arthur Wing Pinero's possible theft of Hardy's plot in his popular pastoral play, 'The Squire', that pushed Hardy and Carr to stage their version. My second chapter looks at the history of Hardy's adaptations of 'Tess'. I am interested primarily in his writing of two scripts in the mid-1890s, and his negotiations with leading actresses in response to their interest in creating the part of Tess. The chapter then looks at the circumstances leading to the eventual staging of the play in the 1920s, focusing on the difficulties posed by producing a script which was by then thirty years old, and showing its age. In the third chapter I concentrate on plans to stage two novels, 'The Woodlanders' and 'Jude'. Neither was produced, but both are evidence of Hardy's increasing interest in the possibility of selecting from his material, rather than compressing it into the time available. The two adaptations allied Hardy much more closely with the avant garde than his earlier work had done – 'The Woodlanders' was begun in 1889 at the suggestion of J. T. Grein and C. W. Jarvis, two men who would later found the Independent Theatre, a private subscription society which pioneered the staging of Ibsen in England. Hardy's own sketches for adapting 'Jude' (1895, 1897, 1910, 1926) concentrated on Sue's position. I set Hardy’s realignment of 'Jude' against a focus on the place of women in unhappy marriages, drawing principally on Hardy's contribution to a debate about the role of wives in the 'New Review' for June 1894 and a 'Westminster Review' article by the feminist Mona Caird (August 1888), which provoked three months of debate (and 27,000 letters) in 'The Daily Telegraph' on the question 'Is Marriage a Failure?' Caird’s ideal dovetails with Sue's views on marriage as 'legalized prostitution' and her revulsion from 'the dreadful contract to feel in a particular way in a matter whose essence is its voluntariness!' The final chapter of the thesis looks at two adaptations of 'The Dynasts'. The first is a wartime entertainment staged by Harley Granville Barker in 1914, the second is Hardy's own adaptation for Dorset amateur actors (the Hardy Players) to perform in 1916, which concentrated on the impact of the war on the local populace. I then turn to the premiere of Hardy's only full-length drama written specifically for the stage – the one-act Arthurian play 'The Queen of Cornwall' (1923). I argue in this final chapter that Hardy was beginning to move from the role of reluctant adapter to that of director, conscious of the boundaries imposed by the stage and experimenting with how to craft his work to fit within them, rather than abridging his material indiscriminately.

The 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.

Streszczenie:

State-of-the-art biochemical systems for medical applications and chemical computing are application-specific and cannot be re-programmed or trained once fabricated. The implementation of adaptive biochemical systems that would offer flexibility through programmability and autonomous adaptation faces major challenges because of the large number of required chemical species as well as the timing-sensitive feedback loops required for learning. Currently, biochemistry lacks a systems vision on how the user-level programming interface and abstraction with a subsequent translation to chemistry should look like. By developing adaptation in chemistry, we could replace multiple hard-wired systems with a single programmable template that can be (re)trained to match a desired input-output profile benefiting smart drug delivery, pattern recognition, and chemical computing. I aimed to address these challenges by proposing several approaches to learning and adaptation in Chemical Reaction Networks (CRNs), a type of simulated chemistry, where species are unstructured, i.e., they are identified by symbols rather than molecular structure, and their dynamics or concentration evolution are driven by reactions and reaction rates that follow mass-action and Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Several CRN and experimental DNA-based models of neural networks exist. However, these models successfully implement only the forward-pass, i.e., the input-weight integration part of a perceptron model. Learning is delegated to a non-chemical system that computes the weights before converting them to molecular concentrations. Autonomous learning, i.e., learning implemented fully inside chemistry has been absent from both theoretical and experimental research. The research in this thesis offers the first constructive evidence that learning in CRNs is, in fact, possible. I have introduced the original concept of a chemical binary perceptron that can learn all 14 linearly-separable logic functions and is robust to the perturbation of rate constants. That shows learning is universal and substrate-free. To simplify the model I later proposed and applied the "asymmetric" chemical arithmetic providing a compact solution for representing negative numbers in chemistry. To tackle more difficult tasks and to serve more complicated biochemical applications, I introduced several key modular building blocks, each addressing certain aspects of chemical information processing and learning. These parts organically combined into gradually more complex systems. First, instead of simple static Boolean functions, I tackled analog time-series learning and signal processing by modeling an analog chemical perceptron. To store past input concentrations as a sliding window I implemented a chemical delay line, which feeds the values to the underlying chemical perceptron. That allows the system to learn, e.g., the linear moving-average and to some degree predict a highly nonlinear NARMA benchmark series. Another important contribution to the area of chemical learning, which I have helped to shape, is the composability of perceptrons into larger multi-compartment networks. Each compartment hosts a single chemical perceptron and compartments communicate with each other through a channel-mediated exchange of molecular species. Besides the feedforward pass, I implemented the chemical error backpropagation analogous to that of feedforward neural networks. Also, after applying mass-action kinetics for the catalytic reactions, I succeeded to systematically analyze the ODEs of my models and derive the closed exact and approximative formulas for both the input-weight integration and the weight update with a learning rate annealing. I proved mathematically that the formulas of certain chemical perceptrons equal the formal linear and sigmoid neurons, essentially bridging neural networks and adaptive CRNs. For all my models the basic methodology was to first design species and reactions, and then set the rate constants either "empirically" by hand, automatically by a standard genetic algorithm (GA), or analytically if possible. I performed all simulations in my COEL framework, which is the first cloud-based chemistry modeling tool, accessible at http://coel-sim.org. I minimized the amount of required molecular species and reactions to make wet chemical implementation possible. I applied an automatized mapping technique, Soloveichik's CRN-to-DNA-strand-displacement transformation, to the chemical linear perceptron and the manual signalling delay line and obtained their full DNA-strand specified implementations. As an alternative DNA-based substrate, I mapped these two models also to deoxyribozyme-mediated cleavage reactions reducing the size of the displacement variant to a third. Both DNA-based incarnations could directly serve as blue-prints for wet biochemicals. Besides an actual synthesis of my models and conducting an experiment in a biochemical laboratory, the most promising future work is to employ so-called reservoir computing (RC), which is a novel machine learning method based on recurrent neural networks. The RC approach is relevant because for time-series prediction it is clearly superior to classical recurrent networks. It can also be implemented in various ways, such as electrical circuits, physical systems, such as a colony of Escherichia Coli, and water. RC's loose structural assumptions therefore suggest that it could be expressed in a chemical form as well. This could further enhance the expressivity and capabilities of chemically-embedded learning. My chemical learning systems may have applications in the area of medical diagnosis and smart medication, e.g., concentration signal processing and monitoring, and the detection of harmful species, such as chemicals produced by cancer cells in a host (cancer miRNAs) or the detection of a severe event, defined as a linear or nonlinear temporal concentration pattern. My approach could replace hard-coded solutions and would allow to specify, train, and reuse chemical systems without redesigning them. With time-series integration, biochemical computers could keep a record of changing biological systems and act as diagnostic aids and tools in preventative and highly personalized medicine.

Streszczenie:

Eileen Chang (1920-1995), a legendary female writer in Chinese literature history, lived in the most turbulent time of contemporary China. Her works are all about love. Her characters are all insignificant people, unrealistically invested with illusory dreams of life, but meanwhile, absorbed by worldly pursuits and pleasures. And her tone is desolate. People worship her, both as a great writer and as a mysterious woman. From 1980s, the fascination with her and her literature overtly announces itself in Chinese language cinema. Several critically acclaimed directors have intended to adapt her aura and charisma through adapting her literature. But, the result of their efforts is not optimistic; the disparity between the films and the novels still has been widely sensed. My thesis focuses on the film adaptations of her novels. I intend to explore this woman?s world through cinema; precisely, through the unexpected gap between her novels and their film versions, in order to explore the reality and moods in her mind that are hard to visualize. The same events, moments and situations presented in both the novels and the films also offer great opportunities for the comparison of two different ways of story-telling.

The 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.

Streszczenie:

Modern enterprise organisations rely on dynamic processes. Generally these processes cannot be modelled once and executed repeatedly without change. Enterprise processes may evolve unpredictably according to situations that cannot always be prescribed. However, no mechanism exists to ensure an updated process does not violate any compliance requirements. Typical workflow processes may follow a process definition and execute several thousand instances using a workflow engine without any changes. This is suitable for routine business processes. However, when business processes need flexibility, adaptive features are needed. Updating processes may violate compliance requirements so automatic verification of compliance checking is necessary. The research work presented in this Thesis investigates the problem of current workflow technology in defining, managing and ensuring the specification and execution of business processes that are dynamic in nature, combined with policy standards throughout the process lifycle. The findings from the literature review and the system requirements are used to design the proposed system architecture. Since a two-tier reference process model is not sufficient as a basis for the reference model for an adaptive and compliance workflow management system, a three-tier process model is proposed. The major components of the architecture consist of process models, business rules and plugin modules. This architecture exhibits the concept of user adaptation with structural checks and dynamic adaptation with data-driven checks. A research prototype - Adaptive and Compliance Workflow Management System (ACWfMS) - was developed based on the proposed system architecture to implement core services of the system for testing and evaluation purposes. The ACWfMS enables the development of a workflow management tool to create or update the process models. It automatically validates compliance requirements and, in the case of violations, visual feedback is presented to the user. In addition, the architecture facilitates process migration to manage specific instances with modified definitions. A case study based on the postgraduate research process domain is discussed.

The novel Jane Eyre, written by Charlotte Brontë, is very appreciated and famous. It has been adapted several times into different media, such as films, musicals and theatres. In this essay I will compare the novel with Cary Joji Fukunaga’s film adaption from 2011. I will compare the characters Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester and examine how they are portrayed, and I will also discuss the difference between Mr. Brocklehurst in the novel and in the film. I argue that the characters and some of the situations are adjusted to fit a modern audience. I also argue that the film is a romanticized, de-politicized version of the novel. Many of Jane’s reflections upon life, love, class, gender and so on are less developed in the film and the film is more of a love story than a story about a young woman’s life in the Victorian era.

This work is meant to contribute to the research of adaptation studies by focusing on a special case: the transformation of a fictional diary into a movie. In order to sustain the form of the literary source the adaptation to movie requires certain strategies. Först of all, the diary genre is characterized by a one-dimensional narration. Second, diaries only supply a few written dialogues, hence this "void" has to be compensated and filled by media specific measures. Third, the investigated diary is a story of individualization and emancipation of a single woman. Therefore not only the lack of dialogues but also the lack of actors composes a challenge to the work of adaptation. The main task is thus to analyze the literary source and the movie and identify the specific strategies that make the transformation of a fictional diary to a movie possible.

The purpose of this essay is, from a narratological point of view and also by employing film adaptation theory, to compare the novel The Golden Compass to its film adaptation and examine the narrative elements they have in common and those that are distinct for each medium. The aim is also to critically comment on these elements and to discuss to what extent the changes made affect the story and how it is perceived. The analysis that I have carried out shows that changes have been made regarding the plot order, i.e. sequences have been moved around or even removed in the film adaptation. The portrayal of the characters differs as well; some characters have been condensed while others have been extended to fit into the new frame of narrative. There are also differences in pacing between the original work and the adaptation. However, the changes do not affect the perception of the story and the story works very well in the new narrative structure.

Streszczenie:

This study examines the film adaptations of six English novels; Sense and Sensibility, Emma, Tess, Jude, A Room with a View and A Passage to India. Through textual analysis of both the films and the original novels it demonstrates that many of the changes which occur in the transition between media are explicable in terms of differences between film and literary genres. Most previous writing on adaptation has tended to explain such changes as a consequence of film and literature having different signifying or expressive capacities. Whilst this study does not argue that literary styles and devices have necessary or inevitable equivalents in film form, it does propose that filmmakers can find satisfying and comprehensible correlatives for written idioms, and that differences between novels and their adaptations are not therefore always best understood as arising from failures in the mechanics of translation. In its consideration of what each film alters and omits this study finds compelling evidence that they are reshaped in particularly genre-related ways. This takes the form both of alterations that place an adaptation more comfortably in a particular fihn genre than the original story materials might allow, and changes which diminish or elide the operation of a literary genre to which the original novel belongs or relates. Sense and Sensibility, Emma and A Room with a View are discussed in terms of how they become romantic comedies, while the Hardy adaptations are the occasion of most of the original melodrama being omitted. Other genres and modes which pose problems and questions in adaptation - including tragedy, the didactic and the modern - are also examined. Additionally, this study will consider the political contexts and conditions of production of the novels and their adaptations as well as examining the extent to which the films may be said to be authored.

Pełny tekst źródła

Streszczenie:

The increasing use of interactive multimedia applications over the Internet has created a problem of congestion. This is because a majority of these applications do not respond to congestion indicators. This leads to resource starvation for responsive flows, and ultimately excessive delay and losses for all flows therefore loss of quality. This results in unfair sharing of network resources and increasing the risk of network ‘congestion collapse’. Current Congestion Control Mechanisms such as ‘TCP-Friendly Rate Control’ (TFRC) have been able to achieve ‘fair-share’ of network resource when competing with responsive flows such as TCP, but TFRC’s method of congestion response (i.e. to reduce Packet Rate) is not ideally matched for interactive multimedia applications which maintain a fixed Frame Rate. This mismatch of the two rates (Packet Rate and Frame Rate) leads to buffering of frames at the Sender Buffer resulting in delay and loss, and an unacceptable reduction of quality or complete loss of service for the end-user. To address this issue, this thesis proposes a novel Congestion Control Mechanism which is referred to as ‘TCP-friendly rate control – Fine Grain Scalable’ (TFGS) for interactive multimedia applications. This new approach allows multimedia frames (data) to be sent as soon as they are generated, so that the multimedia frames can reach the destination as quickly as possible, in order to provide an isochronous interactive service. This is done by maintaining the Packet Rate of the Congestion Control Mechanism (CCM) at a level equivalent to the Frame Rate of the Multimedia Encoder.The response to congestion is to truncate the Packet Size, hence reducing the overall bitrate of the multimedia stream. This functionality of the Congestion Control Mechanism is referred to as Packet Size Truncation (PST), and takes advantage of adaptive multimedia encoding, such as Fine Grain Scalable (FGS), where the multimedia frame is encoded in order of significance, Most to Least Significant Bits. The Multimedia Adaptation Manager (MAM) truncates the multimedia frame to the size indicated by the Packet Size Truncation function of the CCM, accurately mapping user demand to available network resource. Additionally Fine Grain Scalable encoding can offer scalability at byte level granularity, providing a true match to available network resources. This approach has the benefits of achieving a ‘fair-share’ of network resource when competing with responsive flows (as similar to TFRC CCM), but it also provides an isochronous service which is of crucial benefit to real-time interactive services. Furthermore, results illustrate that an increased number of interactive multimedia flows (such as voice) can be carried over congested networks whilst maintaining a quality level equivalent to that of a standard landline telephone. This is because the loss and delay arising from the buffering of frames at the Sender Buffer is completely removed. Packets sent maintain a fixed inter-packet-gap-spacing (IPGS). This results in a majority of packets arriving at the receiving end at tight time intervals. Hence, this avoids the need of using large Playout (de-jitter) Buffer sizes and adaptive Playout Buffer configurations. As a result this reduces delay, improves interactivity and Quality of Experience (QoE) of the multimedia application.

Streszczenie:

My thesis focuses on Diana Gabaldon’s novel Outlander (1990) and its adaptation (2014). I compare the two works in the light of adaptation theory. My sources include Linda Hutcheon’s The Theory of Adaptation (2013), Julie Sanders’ Adaptation and Appropriation (2016) and Sarah Cardwell’s Adaptation Revisited: Television and the Classic Novel (2002). I also incorporated Roland Barthes’ ideas about the text of pleasure and bliss into Hutcheon’s idea about the pleasures of adaptation. A familiar text creates pleasure but a text that manages to surprise us creates bliss. I also rely on author centered sources including articles and interviews and The Outlandish Companion (2015) by Diana Gabaldon. During my study I found out that even though Outlander at first glance seems like a straightforward popular work of fiction it actually entails complex and sometimes conflicting meanings. Outlander is an original genre mix which attempts to defy conventional ways of reading and interpreting. The author, Diana Gabaldon, attempts to influence the reading experience and interpretation by commenting on the contents and meaning of the novel. Gabaldon declares that she does not write from any political position but whether or not we can trust her word is debatable. I considered four themes around Outlander: time travel, religion, romantic love and sexuality. Especially religion is depicted differently in the TV adaptation when compared to the novel. The TV adaptation plays down Claire’s religious experience. I also found out that in the TV series Claire is depicted as a victim rather than as the hero who saves the male protagonist Jamie. The TV series thus convey the traditional gender positions where Claire is the passive participant who is saved by the active Jamie. This position reflects upon sexuality also. The chapter on male-on-male rape discusses how Jamie is forced to become the passive participant and this depiction remains the same in both works
Tutkielmani 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

Streszczenie:

The concept of distorting the line between fiction and reality appears to be one of the main themes in Ian McEwan’s Atonement (2001) as well as in Joe Wright’s screen adaptation of the novel, released in 2007. With the focus on the main character Briony Tallis this essay explores the influence that literature and fiction have on her, how they bring her to blur the line between them and reality and, to a lesser extent, the different ways in which the novel and its screen adaptation address this issue. Briony is first introduced as an author, underlining the importance that imagination holds for her, and it is this overactive imagination that causes her to misinterpret real events and thus accuse Robbie Turner for a crime he did not commit. To redeem herself Briony turns to fiction in an attempt to re-write the past; by blurring the line between fiction and reality, as defined by the restrictions of her novel, Briony gives Robbie and Cecilia a future within the pages of her book. The literary motifs and symbols, that are present within her novel, enhance the influence fiction and literature have on her. This is also emphasized by her characters’ relationship with literature, their use of literary works, and their characters. Briony, the character, strives to become Briony the author, thus emphasizing the importance that literature holds for her. Because Briony is trapped within the boundaries of her own imagination she has, in writing her novel, managed to hold Robbie and Cecilia captive in her imaginative world. Thus, finally achieving what she has been striving to do for during the greater part of her life: Briony, the author, can atone for the terrible ordeals that she caused decades previously.
