Abstract

A Portrait of the Artist as Australian offers the first critical assessment of Barry Humphries' entire career - as a daring postmodern deconstructionist on stage, film, and television, with sixty-seven stage shows, twenty-four film and thirty-four video appearances, thirty-four television series and seventy-one television appearances, and seventy-two audio recordings, but especially what he calls his "second career" as author of twenty-nine books. With an oeuvre that includes novels, biographies, autobiographies, editions, compilations, comic books, poetry, dramatic monologues, sketches, film scripts, and several unclassified works, Humphries is a literary and dramatic artist of considerable significance. Arguing that Humphries is one of Australia's greatest writers, Paul Matthew St Pierre reveals a multi-faceted artist whose success is rooted in music halls, Dadaism, and his identity as an Australian.

Abstract

Drawing on extensive archival research and using a conflated theoretical framework, the author offers a portrait of Williams that shows how his experiences in Trinidad, England, and America radicalized him and how his relationships with other Caribbean intellectuals--along with Aimé Césaire in Martinique, Juan Bosch in the Dominican Republic, George Lamming of Barbados, and Frantz Fanon from Martinique--enabled him to seize opportunities for social change and make a significant contribution to Caribbean epistemology.

Abstract

In Janet Frame: Semiotics and Biosemiotics in Her Early Fiction, Paul Matthew St. Pierre exploits the linguistic discipline of semiotics and the neurobiological discipline of biosemiotics to propose an original and dynamic reading of the first four works of fiction by New Zealand writer Janet Frame (1924-2004): The Lagoon: Stories (1951), Owls Do Cry (1957), Faces in the Water (1961), and The Edge of the Alphabet (1962). Opposing the prevailing reading of Frame's early fiction as autobiographical, deriving from her medical history, he argues her books are singular evocations of her astonishing

Abstract

"Malgré les aléas des relations entre les deux pays, les Chinois associent encore beaucoup le Canada à un héros qui serait sans contredit le plus illustre : le docteur Norman Bethune. Quiconque visite la Chine et entre en contact avec son peuple est en mesure de saisir que l'évocation de ce nom, Bethune, ou Bai Qiu'en, y fait résonner une sympathie chaleureuse qui, parfois, ressurgit même sur le Canada. Bethune, un Canadien donc, n'a pourtant pas connu une renommée aussi importante dans son propre pays où il évoque des sentiments contradictoires, à commencer par l'ignorance de qui était ce fameux personnage. Cette étude cherche à comprendre pourquoi les représentations de cette personne se sont avérées aussi distinctes. En commençant par la Chine, revenant au Canada, interrogeant des diplomates, des Québécois, des communistes canadiens et des membres de la bourgeoisie canadienne, et d'autres, dont Norman Bethune lui-même, nous cherchons ici à comprendre comment a évolué son image jusqu'à nos jours."--

Abstract

The proton exchange membrane fuel cell is an electrochemical energy conversion device, which transforms a fuel such as hydrogen and an oxidant such as oxygen in ambient air into electricity with heat and water byproducts. The device is more efficient than an internal combustion engine because reactants are directly converted into energy through a one-step electrochemical reaction. Fuel cells combined with water electrolyzers, which electrochemically split water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energy sources such as solar, mitigate global warming concerns with reduced carbon dioxide emissions. This collection of papers covers recent advancements in fuel cell technology aimed at reducing cost, improving performance, and extending durability, which are perceived as crucial for a successful commercialization. Almost all key materials, as well as their integration into a cell, are discussed: the bus plates that collect the electrical current, the gas diffusion medium that distributes the reactants over catalysts promoting faster reactions, and the membrane separating oxygen and hydrogen gases and closing the electrical circuit by transporting protons. Fuel cell operation below the freezing point of water and with impure reactant streams, which impacts durability, is also discussed.

Abstract

This book addresses all issues relevant to error prevention and safe practice in the acute and emergency health-care setting. It begins with the basic principles of human behavior and decision making and then partitions into three sections where the individual, the team, and the organizational influences within the health-care system are discussed in greater depth. Case reports and proven strategies help to ground psychological theory in daily practice. This book has emerged from a long-standing cooperation between clinicians and psychologists. Blending the strengths of both professions into a readily accessible text has created a book which will hopefully help both physicians and non-physicians to better understand the principles of human behavior and decision making in critical situations and in turn enable them to provide safer treatment. Unsuspected medical crisis and emergency situations may be managed more effectively and an increased awareness of contributing factors may help to avoid errors from the outset.

Abstract

With contributions by researchers from India, Europe, North America and the Caribbean, In Translation - Reflections, refractions, transformations touches on questions of method and on topics - including copyright, cultural hybridity, globalization, identity construction, and minority languages - which are important for the disciplinary development of translation studies but also of interest to other fields as well, most notably comparative literature, cultural studies and world literature. The volume provides a forum for new voices to be heard alongside those of well-established scholars and f

Abstract

This volume explores the theoretical foundations of postcolonial translation in settings as diverse as Malaysia, Ireland, India and South America. Changing the Terms examines stimulating links that are currently being forged between linguistics, literature and cultural theory. In doing so, the authors probe complex sequences of intercultural contact, fusion and breach. The impact that history and politics have had on the role of translation in the evolution of literary and cultural relations is investigated in fascinating detail.

Abstract

Autour d’une thématique ludique qui favorise le travail d’équipe, les élèves sont sollicités afin d’aider Logimorpho, un scientifique chevronné, dans sa recherche d’antidotes visant à décontaminer une île, les océans et l’air. Ils deviennent, pour l’occasion, des morpho-aventuriers. Ce module porte sur les habiletés de conscience phonologique qui permet aux élèves de s’entraîner à manipuler les sons, habiletés qui sont étroitement liées à la conscience morphologique. Ils apprendront à manier avec adresse les outils qui leur seront utiles tout au long de l’aventure. Chaque activité comporte son propre objectif, le déroulement proposé, des consignes précises à donner, des exemples, les items que les enfants auront à manipuler et la rétroaction à offrir. Des images colorées et reproductibles sont incluses pour animer les activités. **Veuillez noter que la version numérique est protégée et ne permet pas l'impression du document.

Abstract

Autour d’une thématique ludique qui favorise le travail d’équipe, les élèves sont sollicités afin d’aider Logimorpho, un scientifique chevronné, dans sa recherche d’antidotes visant à décontaminer une île, les océans et l’air. Ils deviennent, pour l’occasion, des morpho-aventuriers. Dans ce module, ils visiteront l’île de Caraco dans laquelle se trouvent des sables mouvants et des passages secrets tout comme de nombreux personnages insolites dans leur recherche de l’antidote purificateur de sol. Ce module aborde le genre des adjectifs. Travailler cette classe de mots permet aux élèves de comprendre le changement de sens qu’entraîne une modification dans la structure des mots. Les activités sont organisées de façon à amener les élèves à juger et à manipuler les morphèmes à l’oral d’abord pour, par la suite, réinvestir leur réflexion à l’écrit dans l’orthographe des mots. Chaque activité comporte son propre objectif, le déroulement proposé, des consignes précises à donner, des exemples, les items que les enfants auront à manipuler et la rétroaction à offrir. Des images colorées et reproductibles sont incluses pour animer les activité et ainsi plonger les élèves dans l’imaginaire du scénario. **Veuillez noter que la version numérique est protégée et ne permet pas l'impression du document.
