This study analyses The Passion of New Eve by Angela Carter, Orlando by Virginia Woolf, Woman on the Edge of Time by Marge Piercy and The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula Le Guin from the perspective of &eacute / criture f&eacute / minine. After a thorough discussion of the roots of &eacute / criture f&eacute / minine, the theory of the French feminists is put into practice in the analysis of the novels. The study asserts that the concepts of bisexuality, the other and the voice are common elements in novels of &eacute / criture f&eacute / minine, thereby the novelists mentioned in the study follow the propositions of H&eacute / l&egrave / ne Cixous, Julia Kristeva and Luc&eacute / Irigaray. The argument of the study is that the use of &eacute / criture f&eacute / minine as portrayed with reference to the novels, can be an efficient way in deconstructing the patriarchal system of language. Literature has a significant influence on social life, however women cannot make themselves heard using the language of patriarchy. Therefore an alternative such as &eacute / criture f&eacute / minine is essential. This study shows how this alternative can be practiced in various ways and it also creates the opportunity to consider the possibilities of alternative lives if this kind of thinking is widespread.

Myths have been an undeniable source in both shaping and expressing the values, norms and behavioural patterns in societies. However, the archetypes in these myths have helped to oppress women in their personal and social lives and have forced them to accept identities which actually are not theirs. Feminist archetypal theorists propose that through a detailed study of common images of women&rsquo / s writings, fantasies, dreams and myths, the archetypes that women possess will be uncovered and the female experience will have the chance to be voiced more accurately. The aim of this thesis is to explore Surfacing and The Penelopiad by Margaret Atwood and Indigo and The Leto Bundle by Marina Warner to lay bare the attempts of both writers to break away from the male-oriented myths so as to rewrite female experience via rewriting myths. In four novels, the archetypes and mythical elements are used in rewriting the gender and sexual identity markers which have long been imposed on women by patriarchal mythmakers. By rewriting these markers, both writers not only voice the genuine female experience and the body but also pave the way for the creation of new myths which would celebrate female identity and freedom.

The aim of this study is to show how a possible philosophy of life can arise from Bergson&rsquo / s conception of time. In realizing this aim, I appeal to Hadot&rsquo / s description of the paradox of the human condition. I claim that in order to understand how a Bergsonian philosophy of life through Bergson&rsquo / s conception of time would arise we need to understand the paradox of the human condition. The reason for this is that there are a lot of dualities in Bergson&rsquo / s philosophy all of which, I claim, are based on this fundamental duality concerning the human condition. I believe that when this paradox and its possible resolution are restated in Bergsonian notions, a Bergsonian philosophy of life that consists of a life sub specie durationis, that is a life under the aspect of duration, would arise. Hadot considered the paradox within the context of phenomenology alone. This made me proceed by searching for other approaches to the paradox within Bergson&rsquo / s philosophy. I realized that the attempts in finding out possible solutions to this problem cannot be found in the context of phenomenology alone and that the vitalist and the existentialist aspects have to be considered in order to remain faithful to Bergson&rsquo / s philosophy as well as in order to construct a Bergsonian philosophy of life. The phenomenological aspect of the paradox arises around Bergson&rsquo / s notion of displacement of attention and when the notion of dur&eacute / e r&eacute / elle is considered with consciousness in the light of the notion of intensity. The vitalist aspect enters into our discussion when we analyze Bergson&rsquo / s notion of &eacute / lan vital around the consideration of true evolution. I believe that the existentialist aspect of the paradox of the human condition comes from Bergson&rsquo / s notion of freedom around the discussion of the superficial and the fundamental self. It emerges if the individual asks himself how to deal with this paradox that in turn defines his struggle to transform the tension the paradox involves and that tells him to bring his own attitude towards it.

Since the early 1970s, regulation theory have analysed the restructuring of capitalist economies in historical time. As early studies within that political economic research were againt the structural-functionalism explicit in Marxist theories of capitalism at the time on the one hand, and the closed theoretical system of neoclassical economics on the other, regulationists soon resorted to an open-method analysis of stylised facts. Such a method is none other than a middle-range theory. This study touches upon Boyer&rsquo / s and Jessop&rsquo / s arguments on the antithetical consequences of this middle-rangeness for further as well as former theoretical research within regulation theory and their particular scheme of infl&eacute / chissement for that political economic heuristic in institutionalist and integral economic terms.

This thesis aims to explore the categories of sexuality and gender through an analysis of Jeanette Winterson&rsquo / s well-known novels, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit and Written on the body, against the background of Butler&rsquo / s concept of performativity and Cixous&rsquo / s &eacute / criture feminine. By underlining the constructedness of these categories and questioning the boundaries of patriarchal concepts and transgressing them, Winterson deconstructs the binary oppositions created by phallocentric discourse and problematizes the verdict that sexuality is inborn. Instead of this ingrained notion, she asserts that gender and sexual identities are culturally and discursively constructed by the dominant discourse. Although the dominant discourse favors heterosexuality over homosexuality and degrades sexuality into a binary frame of oppositions such as masculinity/ feminity and male/female, Winterson, in her novels, seeks an alternative to escape this ideological binarism and achieves to subvert the binary oppositions by highlighting the fluidity of sexuality and gender, and by creating amorphous characters like the ungendered narrator in Written on the body or by bestowing on them bisexuality or homosexuality as in Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. Hence, the main argument of this thesis will be to display Winterson&rsquo / s deconstruction and dissolution of the patriarchal categories in her novels and to emphasize her escape from the binary charade, in a fictional universe, with references to Butlerian performativity and Cixousian &eacute / criture feminine.

With the closure of Neo-Tethys in the Early Tertiary, oceanic crustal material was accreted along the izmir-Ankara-Erzincan Suture Zone. The Ankara m&eacute / lange developed within this suture zone and contains Cretaceous ophiolitic fragments, some of which host significant Fe-Cu sulfide mineralization. Such mineralization is observed as massive to disseminated pyrite-chalcopyrite hosted by pillow to massive basalts in a dismembered and tectonically imbricated ophiolite block near Karaali, Ankara. Basaltic host rocks lack most of their primary mineral assemblages and textural relationships. As a consequence of greenschist-facies metamorphism and hydrothermal alteration, the basalts were strongly albitized and propylitized prior to late-stage argillic alteration, which is proximal to the main mineralized zone. Sulfide mineralization occurs in a massive sulfide lens and laterally extensive, 10-meter-thick zone of anastomosing quartz-sulfide veins. Other than pyrite and chalcopyrite, bornite, covellite and sphalerite also occur as minor sulfide phases, and the source of sulfur is determined to have been magmatic on the basis of 34S isotope analyses. A series of geochemical analyses suggest that the basaltic host rocks formed within a subduction-related tectonic setting, and the mineralization is thought to have formed during a medium-temperature hydrothermal event which was followed by another later period of low-temperature hydrothermal activity. Field, petrographical and geochemical evidence show that the Karaali Fe-Cu mineralization is genetically correlative with the Cyprus and K&uuml / re massive sulfide deposits, and may be classified as a Cyprus-type massive sulfide deposit.

在德希達的《明信片：從蘇格拉底到佛洛伊徳之外》(1987)一書中，〈郵寄〉這個文本由許多交換傳遞的明信片所組成。這些收錄於同一文本中的明信片令我們聯想到書信小說中編纂成冊的信件。許多十七、十八世紀的英國與法國書信經典名著構成了書信文類的主要架構，如吉樂哈格的《葡萄牙修女的情書》(1669)、理查生的《潘蜜拉》(1740)與《克萊麗莎》(1747-1748)、葛芬妮的《祕魯公主的情書》(1747)、盧梭的《茱莉，或新伊珞絲》(1761)以及德拉克勞斯的《危險關係》(1782)。面對這些書信文類的前導者，且處於二十世紀傳統書信寫作式微的時代中，是什麼因素促使德希達創作〈郵寄〉這部書信文本呢？〈郵寄〉的書信文本又與傳統書信小說有何不同呢？ 關於這個議題，我所提出的論點是，德希達的〈郵寄〉企圖解構書信文類。〈郵寄〉一方面強化了書信文類特有的書信特質，另一方面又以明信片的郵件傳遞效果取代替換傳統書信小說的書信文類特質。明信片的郵件傳遞效果主要呈現出「傳送終點」與「預期的收信者」這兩種特定規範的不可能性。明信片總是暗示信件傳送過程中「被攔截」與「多元收信者」的可能性。這樣的特質使明信片得以打破囿於最初起點與最後終點做為邊界的直線軌道。如此的突破有助於德希達解構西方知識體系的架構。明信片的郵件傳遞效果動搖了源自蘇格拉底的知識遺產直線傳承，顯示出知識遺產是經由多元讀者所傳遞的，且容許眾多不同的詮釋方法參與其中。多樣性的想法損毀了「原作與衍生」，「在場與缺席」以及「公開與隱私」之間的二元對立邏輯。明信片「半私密，半公開」(《明信片》62)的形式在多樣化所隱含的不確定性之間來回擺盪，游移不定。這種不確定性正是德希達藉由〈郵寄〉這個文本所要強調的。因此，即使身處電信通訊網絡遍佈的時代，德希達依然期望引發「不受拘束的明信片化帝國」(《明信片》104)的可能性。明信片化的意義並非加速書信寫作的「衰微」(《明信片》104)，而是希望能夠不斷地散佈差異產生的可能性。 在本論文中，我從迂迴、延宕與延異這三項特性來闡述明信片的書信特質。這三項特性同時交織於我對〈郵寄〉這個書信文本的討論中。在第一章〈書信文類：強化與替代〉裡，我提出了〈郵寄〉所呈現的似非而是的矛盾，既強化又替代書信文類的特質。書信文類因此被置於差異的迂迴內，而延遲了其文類身份認同的最後裁定。在第二章〈書信他/她者：欲望投射〉裡，我援引拉岡「小寫他/她者」的概念來闡釋書信寫作行為中的自我建構過程。由於寄信者需要缺席收信者的存在以召喚差異的產生，因此寄信者的自我認同總是不斷地在迂迴的信件傳遞空間中被延宕。第三章〈書信寫作：添補的矛盾〉裡，我將德希達對「添補」的概念與書信寫作中添加與替代的效果作了連結。書信寫作彌補了距離造成的溝通差距，同時也以距離替代了最後與缺席收信者真實相遇的那一刻。第四章〈書信交換：Fort Da消失與返轉的遊戲〉中，我比較了佛洛伊德、拉岡與德希達對於fort da遊戲不同的觀察角度。在書信交換的過程裡，當多元讀者的可能性被納入考量時，書信的傳送與接收便會持續地滯留迂迴於讀者的多元閱讀與詮釋，而延遲了到達預定目的地的時間。在第五章〈書信傳承：知識遺產的明信片〉裡，我探討了德希達對於〈郵寄〉中明信片上蘇格拉底與柏拉圖位置返轉圖所做的種種推敲。這些推測暗示了脫離知識體系直線傳承，迂迴而行的可能性。為了再現知識的意涵而創造出的多元詮釋角度會不斷地延宕知識傳承的最終意義。 / In Jacques Derrida’s The Post Card: From Socrates to Freud and Beyond (1987), the part of “Envois” is composed of many exchanged post cards. This collection of post cards reminds us of the letters compiled in epistolary novels. There is a lot of prestige attached to many seventeenth- and eighteenth-century English and French epistolary novels, such as Gabriel de Guilleragues’ The Portuguese Letters (1669), Samuel Richardson’s Pamela (1740) and Clarissa (1747-1748), Françoise de Graffigny’s Letters from a Peruvian Woman (1747), Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s Julie, ou la nouvelle Héloïse (1761), and Choderlos de Laclos’ Les Liaisons dangereuses (1782). These epistolary novels constitute the main frame of the epistolary genre. Then, confronted with the epistolary predecessors, what prompts Derrida to write the epistolary text of “Envois” in the twentieth century, in which the telecommunications networks appear to overpower the importance of writing letters or post cards? What is the difference between “Envois” and the previous epistolary novels? On this issue, I want to argue in my thesis that Derrida’s “Envois” is intended to deconstruct the epistolary genre by paradoxically valorizing and substituting the postal effects of the post card for the generic identities of epistolary novels. The postal effects of the post card primarily invoke the impossibility of the predestined destination and intended receiver. The post card always implies the possibilities of interception and multiple receivers in the process of transmission. In this way, the post card disrupts the linear path confined in the hierarchical opposites between the original departure point and the final destination. This disruption facilitates Derrida’s attempt to deconstruct the construction of knowledge in the Western intellectual genealogy. The postal effects are applied to destabilize the linear succession of intellectual inheritance originated since Socrates. The inheritance is transmitted by multiple readers and hence susceptible to a myriad of interpretations. The binary logic between the original and the derivative, the present and the absent, and the public and the private is undermined in the multiplicity. The form of the post card, which is “half-private half public” (Post Card 62), oscillates in the indeterminacy of multiplicity. The postal effects of indeterminacy aroused in the post card are what Derrida emphasizes in “Envois.” As a result, even in the age replete with the telecommunications networks, Derrida still proposes the possibility of “the unlimited empire of a postcardization” (104). The postcardization does not mean to precipitate the “decadence” (104) of epistolary writing, but it aims to disseminate and recurrently stimulate the possibility of difference. In my thesis, I propose three perspectives to illuminate the epistolarity of the post card: detour, deferral, and différance. They are interwoven in my discussion of Derrida’s “Envois.” In chapter one “Epistolary Genre: Valorization and Substitution,” I propound a paradox that “Envois” simultaneously valorizes and substitutes for the epistolary genre. “Envois” therefore puts the epistolary genre in a detour of difference and defers its determination of identity. In chapter two “Epistolary Otherness: The Object of Desire,” I apply Jacques Lacan’s concept of the object of desire to elucidate the self-construction in the act of writing post cards. The sender’s self-identity is continually deferred in a detour, because s/he requires the absent receiver to evoke his/her difference. In chapter three “Epistolary Writing: Paradox of the Supplement,” I relate Derrida’s concept of the supplement to the paradoxical effects of addition and substitution in epistolary writing. Writing post cards adds to a compensation of the distance, but it also simultaneously substitutes the distance for the final encounter with the absent receiver. In chapter four “Epistolary Exchange: Play of the Fort Da,” I compare Sigmund Freud’s, Lacan’s, and Derrida’s different observations on the fort da game. The fort da movements of epistolary exchanges are interminably deferred in a detour, when multiple readers in the process of transmission are taken into consideration. The multiple readers replenish possibilities of differences with a variety of interpretations. In chapter five “Epistolary Inheritance: Post Card of Intellectual Legacy,” I explore Derrida’s speculations on the scene of reversal copied on the post cards collected in “Envois.” The scene of reversal between Socrates and Plato is speculated to imply possible detours away from the linear succession of genealogy. Different representations of knowledge persistently defer the final determinate meaning of the intellectual inheritance.

The aim of this study is to make an inquiry on the nature and the development of dualities in Bergson&rsquo / s philosophy. Since the nature of each duality differs from the others and the dualistic pattern inherent in Bergsonian philosophy is subject to change, we base our study on a chronological structure in order to comprehend better how this pattern changes. We claim that such an inquiry will yield relevant outcomes with regard to ontological and epistemological evolution of Bergson&rsquo / s thought. To state more precisely, we are of the idea that the modification in the dualistic pattern in Bergson&rsquo / s ontology is reflected in a parallel manner in his epistemology. The fundamental question that shows us the way to follow in our study is whether the elements of the dualities (whether they be ontological or epistemological) are reconciled by Bergson or they are left as absolutely distinct elements. At the end of the inquiry regarding that question, which we believe can be taken as an inspiring point in developing new approaches especially to epistemological problems, our conviction is that Bergson points out to a meeting point.

The aim of this thesis is to reveal the potentials of &ldquo / Web&rdquo / as a system of achitectural organization. This concept developed by Georges Candilis, Alexis Josic, and Shadrach Woods can be seen as a product of the discourse arose in 1960s, which concieves the city as a continuous and dynamic structure rather than a static entity composed of individual buildings. In this sense, Web appears as a system of architectural organization that responds to this dynamism by enabling growth and change. In this thesis, Frankfurt-R&ouml / merberg Competition Project by Candilis-Josic-Woods (CJW) is analyzed to understand the potential of Web in organizing both physical and social relations. Revealing the potentials of Web requires examination of other concepts introduced by Candilis-Josic-Woods. Therefore, the relationship between Web and its sources (casbah and bidonville) and precedents (habitat &eacute / volutif and Stem) will be constructed. In order to construct this relation and to understand how Web operates as a system of architectural organization, the components and design acts of Web as well as its potentials will be analyzed in the case of Frankfurt-R&ouml / merberg Project. In doing so, the project will be seen as the main prototype of Web. The thesis will also put emphasis on habitat &eacute / volutif as the main idea behind Web. It will be argued that habitat &eacute / volutif evolved into Web with the help of stem as a connecting element.

Os ésteres de ftalato (PAEs) são compostos produzidos em grandes quantidades, amplamente utilizados industrialmente como agentes plastificantes. Seus resíduos são lixiviados pela água tornando-se poluentes orgânicos persistentes (POPs) no meio ambiente aquoso, além de apresentar características de interferência endócrina. O dietil ftalato (DEP) é frequentemente encontrado nas amostras ambientais, pois possui elevada solubilidade na água e pode ser gerado durante a degradação de outros PAEs. Assim, este trabalho teve como objetivo a degradação do dietil ftalato em meio aquoso por método eletroquímico utilizando um ânodo dimensionalmente estável (ADE) comercial representado como Ti/Ru0,3Ti0,7O2 em uma célula do tipo filtro-prensa. As eletrólises foram de 120 minutos contendo uma concentração inicial de 100,3 mg L-1 de DEP, pH inicial igual a 3, a temperatura em 25 °C e vazão em 250 mL min-1. Os experimentos foram feitos utilizando planejamento fatorial do tipo 32 com duas réplicas no ponto central, apresentando como variáveis independentes a densidade de corrente (10, 25 e 40 mA cm-2) e o logaritmo em base 10 da forca iônica do eletrólito suporte, NaCl e Na2SO4 (µ = 0,05, 0,15 e 0,5 mol L-1), com o intuito de estudar o efeito da densidade de corrente, concentração e natureza do eletrólito para determinar a melhor condição de degradação do dietil ftalato. O monitoramento da concentração do DEP foi feito com cromatografia líquida de alta eficiência (CLAE) e a mineralização foi acompanhada pelas análises de carbono orgânico total (COT). Foram obtidas maiores porcentagens de remoção e mineralização com uso das maiores densidades de corrente e na presença de altas concentrações de NaCl em comparação com Na2SO4. Dessa maneira, se obteve remoção de 63,2 % e mineralização de 63,9 % em solução 0,5 mol L-1 NaCl e densidade de corrente de 40 mA cm-2, enquanto que para Na2SO4 (µ = 0,5 mol L-1) e 40 mA cm-2 foi removido 51,3 % e mineralizado 53,0 % de DEP. O mecanismo de degradação de DEP foi determinado em meio de NaCl e Na2SO4, através de CLAE-MS nas condições citadas anteriormente, identificando-se os íons moleculares de m/z 149 e 177 em ambos eletrólitos, correspondentes ao anidrido ftálico protonado e ao aduto do anidrido ftálico com C(2)H(5)(+) respectivamente, íons característicos da fragmentação do DEP, além do íon m/z 239 em Na2SO4 correspondente ao dietil 3-hidroxiftalato. A degradação do DEP acontece através da cadeia alifática. / Phthalate esters (PAEs) are compounds produced in large amounts industrially widely used as plasticizers. Their waste are leached by water becoming persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in the aqueous environment, besides having endocrine disrupting characteristics. Diethyl phthalate (DEP) is frequently found in environmental samples, it has high solubility in water and can be generated during the degradation of other PAEs. This work studied the degradation of diethyl phthalate in aqueous media by electrochemical method using a commercial dimensionally stable anode (ADE) represented as Ti/Ru0,3Ti0,7O2 in a filter-press flow cell. The electrolysis were carried out during 120 minutes containing an initial concentration of 100.3 mg L-1 DEP, initial pH = 3, temperature at 25 °C and flow rate of 250 ml min-1. The experiments were performed using factorial design 32 with two replicas at the midpoint, with as independent variables the current density (10, 25 and 40 mA cm-2) and the logarithm base 10 of the ionic strength of the electrolyte, NaCl and Na2SO4 (µ = 0.05, 0.15 and 0.5 mol L-1), in order to study the effect of current density, concentration and nature of the electrolyte to determine the best diethyl phthalate degradation condition. The monitoring of DEP concentration was made by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and the mineralization was accompanied by total organic carbon (TOC) analysis. They obtained higher percentages of removal and mineralization with the use of higher current densities and in the presence of high concentrations of NaCl in comparison with Na2SO4. Thus, there was obtained the removal of 63.2 % and 63.9 % mineralization in 0.5 mol L-1 NaCl and current density of 40 mA cm-2, whereas for Na2SO4 (µ = 0.5 mol L-1) and 40 mA cm-2 was removed 51.3 % and 53.0% mineralized DEP. The DEP degradation mechanism was determined in NaCl and Na2SO4, by HPLC-MS under the conditions mentioned above, identifying the molecular ion of m/z 149 and 177 on both electrolytes, corresponding to protonated phthalic anhydride and an adduct of phthalic anhydride with C(2)H(5)(+), respectively, characteristic ions of DEP fragmentation, besides the ion m/z 239 over Na2SO4 corresponding to diethyl 3-hydroxyphthalate. The DEP degradation takes place through the aliphatic chain.
