Les poètes jardiniers. L’Arcadie dans l’imaginaire des jardins du XVIIIe siècle / The Gardener Poets. Arcadia in the notional imagery of the eighteenth-century gardenMallet, Lorilee 30 April 2011 (has links)
Le thème de l’Arcadie figure dans un grand nombre du jardins au XVIIIe siècle. Le tableau de Poussin Les Bergers d’Arcadie et la formule Et in Arcadia Ego sont indissociables, de nos jours, à la vision du locus Arcadie. Cependant, il n’y a aucune preuve que notre réception actuelle du tableau corresponde aux intentions de Poussin, ni à la vision du locus au XVIIIe siècle. Une appréciation de la réception du thème de l’Et in Arcadia Ego et de ses variantes au XVIIIe siècle s’avère utile, afin de comprendre la reprise de ce thème par les jardiniers de l’époque. Nous proposons d’examiner en détail l’évolution dans le temps de ce thème, dans la peinture, dans la poésie et dans les jardins. Nous mènerons un recensement des membres étrangers de l’Accademia degli Arcadi de Rome et de leurs jardins. Cette académie, à ses origines, était une association de poètes qui se réunissaient dans les jardins ou en plein air à la campagne afin décomposer et de réciter leurs œuvres, souvent liées aux thèmes de la nature. Nous sommes partis de l’hypothèse que cette académie serait l’un des vecteurs possibles de la diffusion du thème arcadien en Europe aux XVIIIe siècle. Les jardins que nous examinerons, tous au thème de l’Et in Arcadia Ego,appartiennent ou furent conçus, en dehors de l’Italie, par un Pastor ou Pastorella d’Arcadia (un membre de l’Accademia degli Arcadi). / The arcadian theme is prevalent in a large number of eighteenth-century gardens. Poussin’s painting TheArcadian Shepherds and the enigmatic ‘Et in Arcadia Ego’ are now indissociable from our vision of thelocus Arcadia. Nevertheless, there is no proof that our actual reception of the image corresponds to Poussin’s intentions, or to the vision of this locus in the eighteenth-century. An appreciation of thereception of the theme of Et in Arcadia Ego and it’s eighteenth-century variants is useful, in order tounderstand the adoption of the theme by the gardeners of the period. We propose to examine in detail it’sevolution over time, in painting, poetry and landscape. We will conduct an identification and census of theforeign (non-Italian) members of the Accademia degli Arcadia of Rome and their gardens. This academy, atit’s origin, was an association of poets who met in gardens and in the surrounding countryside in order tocompose and recite their work, which dealt frequently with themes from nature. We are working under thehypothesis that this academy was a possible vector for the propagation of the arcadian theme in theeighteenth century garden. The gardens which we examine in detail each deal specifically with the theme ofEt in Arcadia Ego and apart from two exceptions are either created by, or in collaboration with, a foreignArcadian Pastor or Pastorella.(designation of a member of the Accademia degli Arcadi).

Happily Ever After? Ambiguous Closure in Modernist Children's LiteratureRovan, Marcie Panutsos 17 May 2016 (has links)
This study explores the fruitful interchanges between modernist literary technique, the culture of modernity, and children's literature. While some recent scholarship has examined works that modernist authors like Eliot, Joyce, Woolf, and Cummings produced for child readers, modernist children's literature remains a largely neglected field. Examining texts by A.A. Milne (Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner), Gertrude Stein (The World is Round), and J.M. Barrie (Peter and Wendy) through the lens of literary modernism, this project explicates how these authors adapt modernist techniques, ideologies, and preoccupations in their writing for children. Focusing on themes of alienation, disillusionment, memory, imagination, gender construction, child development, and the disruption of Arcadian myths, I argue that these texts adopt modernist techniques to explore, uphold, or challenge modernity's construction of the child. Embracing modernist indeterminacy and ambiguity, these texts directly engage with constructions of childhood as a mode of modernist experimentation. Recontextualizing these children's works in the context of literary modernism reveals how the two genres are symbiotically related, thereby broadening our understanding of literary culture and discourses of childhood in the early twentieth century. / McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts; / English / PhD; / Dissertation;

Evaluating ARCADIA/Capella vs. OOSEM/SysML for System Architecture DevelopmentAlai, Shashank P. 08 1900 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Systems Engineering is catching pace in many segments of product manufacturing industries. Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is the formalized application of modeling to perform systems engineering activities. In order to effectively utilize the complete potential of MBSE, a methodology consisting of appropriate processes, methods and tools is a key necessity. In the last decade, several MBSE projects have been implemented in industries varying from aerospace and defense to automotive, healthcare and transportation. The Systems Modeling Language (SysML) standard has been a key enabler of these projects at many companies. Although SysML is capable of providing a rich representation of any system through various viewpoints, the journey towards adopting SysML to realize the true potential of MBSE has been a challenge. Among all, one of the common roadblocks faced by systems engineers across industries has been the software engineering-based nature of SysML which leads to difficulties in grasping the modeling concepts for people that do not possess a software engineering background. As a consequence, developing a system (or a system of systems) architecture model using SysML has been a challenging task for many engineers even after a decade of its inception and multiple successive iterations of the language specification. Being a modeling language, SysML is method-agnostic, but its associated limitations outweigh the advantages. ARCADIA (Architecture Analysis and Design Integrated Approach) is a systems and software architecture engineering method based on architecture-centric and model-based engineering activities. If applied properly, ARCADIA allows for a very effective way to model the architecture of multi-domain systems, and overcome many of the limitations faced in traditional SysML implementation. This thesis evaluates the architecture development capabilities of ARCADIA/Capella versus SysML following the Object-Oriented Systems Engineering Method (OOSEM). The study focuses on the key equivalences and differences between the two MBSE solutions from a model development perspective and provides several criteria to evaluate their effectiveness for architecture development using a conceptual case of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). The evaluation is based on three perspectives namely, architecture quality, ability to support key process deliverables, and the overall methodology. Towards this end, an industry-wide survey of MBSE practitioners and thought leaders was conducted to identify several concerns in using models but also to validate the results of the study. The case study demonstrates how the ARCADIA/Capella approach addresses several challenges that are currently faced in SysML implementation. From a process point of view, ARCADIA/Capella and SysML equally support the provision of the key deliverable artifacts required in the systems engineering process. However, the candidate architectures developed using the two approaches show a considerable difference in various aspects such as the mapping of the form to function, creating functional architectures, etc. The ARCADIA/Capella approach allows to develop a ‘good’ system architecture representation efficiently and intuitively. The study also provides answers to several useful criteria pertaining to the overall candidate methodologies while serving as a practitioner’s reference in selecting the most suitable approach.

Sequence stratigraphy of the arcadia formation, Southeast Florida: an integrated approachUnknown Date (has links)
The Arcadia Formation is a mixed carbonate-siliciclastic rock unit that existed as
a shallow carbonate ramp to platform environment during the Late Oligocene to Early
Miocene Epoch. It can be divided into two distinct, informal sections based on
lithological properties: the upper Arcadia Formation and lower Arcadia Formation. The
sections are part of a major, third-order sequence that can be further divided into four
higher-frequency, lower magnitude sequences: ARS1, ARS2, ARS3, and ARS4. The
sequence boundary separating ARS2 and ARS3 represents a drastic change in the
depositional regime from a high-energy, inner ramp/platform to a lower-energy, deep
outer ramp environment. ARS3 represents the period of maximum flooding and
constitutes a major portion of the regressive system tract (RST) of the third order depositional sequence. In certain sections, the Arcadia Formation is heavily bioturbated
including ichnotaxa from the glossifungites, cruziana, and scolithos inchofacies.
Thalassinoides sp. burrows of the glossifungites ichnofacies were found to be commonly
associated with firmground substrates and breaks in sedimentation. The lithofacies
associations were grouped into paleodepositional environments that ranged from
restricted marine to deep outer ramp with lithology ranging from grainstone to
wackestone to mudstone with variable amounts of siliciclastic and phosphatic
constituents. Each sequence boundary extends regionally south from Broward County to
southern Miami-Dade County utilizing gamma-ray geophysical signatures unique to each
sequence. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2014. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

Megalopolis and the Achaian koinon : local identity and the federal stateClose, Elke January 2018 (has links)
This dissertation examines the relationship between the Arkadian city of Megalopolis and the Achaian koinon in the Hellenistic period. By arguing that Megalopolis was a polis which used its own local identity to carve out a prominent position for itself within the Achaian federation, this thesis is able to provide new insights into the study of the wider topic of the relationship between federations and their member states. To support this argument, the thesis is divided into three parts. In part one of the dissertation, the Megalopolitan identity is clearly established by identifying its basic components, which were the result of the city's foundation by the Arkadian koinon around 368 BC as well as its Achaian membership of 235 BC. The Megalopolitan identity was marked by a complex structure; it was characterised by a deep and traditional hatred for Sparta, longstanding relations with the Macedonian kings, a clear understanding of the mechanisms of a federal state and multi-ethnic politics, and, by Polybius' time, a connection to both Arkadia as well as Achaia. The second part examines the influence of this local identity on the koinon through the direct relationship of Megalopolis with the federal government via its Achaian membership. Within the Achaian League, Megalopolis was an active member, taking part in the federal institutions and minting coins. However, through its interactions with other members of the federal state, Megalopolis used its relationship with the federal state to its own advantage. Finally, the last part of the thesis explores the role of Megalopolis and its local interests in Achaian foreign politics. The polis seems to have influenced these through the emergence of a series of influential statesmen (such as Philopoimen and Lykortas) as well as several new policies pursued by the Achaians after Megalopolis' membership. Examples of these new policies are the Achaian alliance with Macedon of 225 BC and the increased focus of the koinon on Sparta in the second century BC, something that also shaped Achaian interactions with Rome. Throughout the thesis particular attention is paid to the narrative of the historian Polybius and the problems his writings pose, since he was an important source for the history of the Achaian koinon and who, as a Megalopolitan, was an excellent example of this distinct Megalopolitan identity. By shedding light on the various ways in which Megalopolis affected the Achaian koinon and its politics, this thesis shows that Megalopolis merits more attention than it has received in the past, as it was more than just an Arkadian city that was a member of the Achaian koinon. Furthermore, the intricate analysis of the distinct Megalopolitan identity makes a novel contribution to the wider study on the interaction between the polis, as a civic unit, and the federal state, as a developing political structure.

Heal : a shelter for the homeless in Tshwane : investigating a suitable living environment for the healing and rehabilitation of people in crisisEiselen, Minette Linda 09 December 2010 (has links)
The dissertation investigates suitable living environments for the healing and rehabilitation of people in crisis in South Africa, focusing on the human experience of space. Through the understanding of the problem and the context, the product of the investigation is a shelter for the homeless in the city of Tshwane. The shelter can be defined as transitional housing for the adult urban homeless and their children, which focuses on the healing and ultimate rehabilitation of homeless people, including the reintegration of these people into society. The significance of the project is that the development becomes a metaphor for the reintegration of people into society. The project aims to empower people to become contributing members of society and discontinues the cycle of destitution by providing an opportunity for economic activity and by improving the physical environment of the homeless as well as the physical environment of the community in general. / Mini Dissertation (MArch(Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Architecture / unrestricted
