L’usage des marqueurs discursifs dans Le Petit Prince : Inventaire et traductions des marqueurs discursifs de la version française aux versions suédoises / The use of discourse markers in The little Prince : Inventory and translations of the discourse markers from the French to the Swedish versionsJezequel, Clara January 2022 (has links)
The purpose of this essay is to investigate the different uses of discourse markers regarding the French to Swedish translation of the book Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. This essay examines the use of discourse markers in both the French and the Swedish version of the book. It has for purpose to see if the discourse markers are used the same way, to depict the similarities and differences in regard to the Swedish translations of the corpus. Moreover, it examines closely the different strategies used for the translation of these discourse markers from French to Swedish. In order to be able to do this analysis, different theories about discourse markers were used for example the theory of Paillard, Lindström, Fraser and also the translation strategies of Ingo and the translation functions of Svane. In conclusion, the interjections of the syntaxial classes are the ones used the most. Moreover, intersubjective, elaborative and particle discourse markers of discourse are the most used when it comes to pragmatism. The similarities and differences can be explained by the time gap between the different corpuses, the different functions and strategies of translation.

My, Claudius: A Case Against The King As Villain.Blackwelder, Kevin 01 January 2010 (has links)
The role of Claudius in Shakespeare's The Tragedy of Hamlet has traditionally been affixed with the label of villain, coupled with a presumption of malice. This prejudice has plagued the role, relegating it to shallow melodrama throughout the majority of the play's 440 odd-year history. Although it has now become more commonplace to see him portrayed as a capable, intelligent, even initially likable king, this has only been the case for the past 50 years or so, and even so the label of villain and the assumption of malice persist and prevail even in contemporary practice. While the author is reluctant to insist on the benevolence of the King as imperative, they do contend that Claudius should not be portrayed as a villain. Doing so undermines the primary conflict - that of Hamlet vs. Claudius - cripples the possibilities for exploration of the King as a role, hinders the potential for Hamlet's journey, and absolves the viewer of active engagement by playing directly into expectations. Within this thesis, consideration of historical analysis and editorial tradition are utilized in order to demonstrate a progressively encompassing disregard that has led to the role's neglect. An account of the 2006 University of Central Florida Conservatory Theatre production is used to validate the necessity of avoiding a villainous portrayal of the King. A brief description of the author's ideal Claudius explores the realm of possibility opened by such non-villainous portrayal, and potential for the role's complexity is examined through a thorough voice/text analysis and brief discussion of Jaques Lecoq's movement equilibrium theory via appendices.

Erasmus: The 16th Century's Pioneer of Peace Education and a Culture of Peacevan den Dungen, Peter January 2009 (has links)
More than a century before Grotius wrote his famous work on international law, his
countryman Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam laid the foundations for the modern
critique of war. In several writings, especially those published in the period 1515-
1517, the "prince of humanists" brilliantly and devastatingly condemned war not
only on Christian but also on secular/rational grounds. His graphic depiction of the
miseries of war, together with his impassionate plea for its avoidance, remains
unparalleled. Erasmus argued as a moralist and educator rather than as a political
theorist or statesman. If any single individual in the modern world can be credited
with "the invention of peace", the honour belongs to Erasmus rather than Kant whose
essay on perpetual peace was published nearly three centuries later. / Published erratum on last page.

Microbial Source Tracking in a Mixed Use Watershed in Northern VirginiaTouchton, Gregory D. 13 December 2005 (has links)
Prince William County, located in the rapidly developing Northern Virginia region, contains watersheds of mixed rural and urban/suburban uses. As part of Virginia regulations, recreational waters must be tested and remain under a certain standard for levels of fecal indicator bacteria (FIB). The sources of fecal pollution in neighboring watersheds within the county were determined over the 12 months previous to this project by performing Antibiotic Resistance Analysis (ARA, a microbial source tracking protocol) on Enterococcus and Escherichia coli (E. coli). This study indicated that multiple sources of pollution were present at all sampling locations and that the dominant sources of contamination were related to the land-use patterns and human activities that were adjacent to each location.
The goal of the current project was to monitor and identify the sources of fecal pollution in eight streams in the Occoquan Basin (OQB) that have been classified as impaired waters due to high E. coli concentrations. Project objectives were i) employ microbial source tracking technology to identify the categories of sources that were responsible for the bacterial impairments; ii) develop and analyze appropriate Known Source Libraries (KSL's) to determine the best design for identifying the sources of water-sample isolates; and iii) evaluate the use of optical brighteners in freshwater by fluorometry as an indicator for human-origin pollution. One site on each of six streams and two sites on the remaining two (ten total) were selected for E. coli and Enterococcus monitoring and microbial source tracking. Repeated sampling of the ten locations for thirteen months assessed the concentrations of the bacteria over time, while comparison of monthly bacterial concentrations to the U.S. standards was used to verify the impaired water designation.
Three thousand, four hundred and eighty-eight Enterococcus and 969 E. coli water-sample isolates were collected and evaluated to determine their sources. These isolates were compared to several known source libraries (KSL's) comprised of host-origin isolates collected from the Northern Virginia region. Linear discriminant analysis (LDA) using a KSL of unique isolates determined wildlife were the dominant source of fecal pollution. Results based on ARA were cross-validated through fluorometry of the water samples (to detect optical brighteners in detergents as human-derived pollution) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE, a DNA fingerprinting technique) of select E. coli isolates. In order to determine the best method to classify the water-sample isolates, variation in antibiotic resistance data representation, known source isolate inclusion, and LDA processing were compared. The KSL that used the most antibiotic resistance datapoints, contained no conflicting data, and performed most of the parameters associated with standard LDA, classified water-sample isolates the most successfully. This project involves the first thorough testing of fluorometry for the detection of human signatures in freshwaters.
Monitoring results showed consistent Enterococcus and E. coli contamination in all eight streams, demonstrating that each had been correctly placed on Virginia's impaired waters list by state regulatory agencies. Counts between Enterococcus and E. coli did not correlate well, although concentrations of both indicator organisms were higher during dry months. Source tracking results determined a dominant wildlife signature at all sites. Few Enterococcus water-source isolates were classified as human and fluorescence at all sites was consistently low. KSL's with antibiotic resistance data represented as binary values classified isolates the best. Removal of conflicting isolates improved the KSL's rate of correct classification (RCC). Creation of an unknown category, clustering of the KSL, and only accepting results above a threshold did not appreciably improve the RCC.
The KSL with the binary representation was not used to classify isolates because it violates the normal distribution assumption of LDA. Differences in the results of Enterococcus and E. coli source classifications indicated that contributing sources vary in frequency. Human fecal matter was shown to be of little concern because both Enterococcus ARA and fluorometry indicated low presence. The positive predictive value (PPV) statistic was found to be preferable to the minimum detectable percentage (MDP) because it does not depend on KSL size. Establishing confidence intervals to determine completeness of KSL allows one to determine whether particular methods to refine the KSL will be helpful.
This project was successfully completed and the monitored streams were correctly identified by state authorities as impaired waters. Source tracking results often conflicted, although wildlife and pets were indicated as the major sources of impairment by ARA. More local source samples need to be taken to verify this result. The best ARA library design used only unique isolates, all pattern data points, and removed conflicting isolates. Continuing examination of the representation of library data as binary is necessary to determine whether the statistical assumptions in LDA prevent meaningful results. Evaluation of fluorometry was partially successful as the absence of "hotspots" of high fluorescent brighteners agreed with ARA results that indicated little contamination form human sources. The fluorometer continues to have potential as a metric of waste in freshwater although more work needs to be done to fully prove its utility. / Master of Science

Use of Escherichia coli for Microbial Source Tracking in a Mixed Use Watershed in Northern VirginiaWade, Timothy Rion 16 October 2007 (has links)
Prince William County, located in the rapidly developing Northern Virginia region, contains watersheds of mixed rural and urban/suburban uses. The project goal was to monitor and evaluate 21 stream locations, over 13 months, in the Occoquan Basin identified as impaired due to high E. coli densities. One site on each of eight streams, two sites on each of five streams, and three sites on the remaining stream were chosen for E. coli monitoring and microbial source tracking (MST). MST was performed using antibiotic resistance analysis (ARA) and fluorometric analysis. Escherichia coli was chosen as the indicator bacterium for purposes of comparison with previous project data and because a large body of evidence supports its use in freshwater systems.
This study involved the only known MST project to incorporate data from five or more consecutive years. A total of 2854 environmental isolates were collected for analysis with ARA. These isolates were classified using a known source library (KSL) that consisted of 1003 unique resistance patterns. The resistance patterns of the KSL came from known fecal sources (human, pets, livestock, wildlife) in Prince William County. The KSL included isolates from previous years but was also updated with fresh isolates. The accuracy of the KSL was assessed through the use of a challenge set. The challenge set was classified against the KSL using discriminant analysis, verified by logistic regression. The average rate of correct classification was 93% for discriminant analysis and 96% for logistic regression.
Results indicated that multiple sources of contamination were present at all sampling locations and that the major source(s) (human, pets, livestock, wildlife) of contamination were generally related to the land-use patterns and human activities at each location. Although no major or minor human signatures were found, all but two locations had either pet or livestock as the major signature, suggesting that human-related activities are playing a key role in contamination of the streams. Pets were the single most frequent major signature and wildlife was the most common minor signature.
Fluorometric analysis was used to corroborate human-derived contamination. Fluorometric analysis has the ability to detect the presence of optical brighteners, synthetic compounds added to such household items as laundry detergent, dishwashing detergent and other washing agents. Despite having an undesirably high rate of false negatives (negative fluorometry readings not supported by ARA), fluorometric analysis maintained a low rate of false positives (positive fluorometry readings not supported by ARA) and continued to demonstrate its potential for source tracking.
This project represented one of the first attempts at applying a full suite of performance criteria now recommended by the source tracking community for all MST projects. Such concepts as experimental design, toolbox approach, minimum detectable percentage, quantification, accuracy, specificity, robustness, range of applicability, and practicality were successfully incorporated. These performance criteria have in effect set a new standard to which all subsequent MST projects should adhere. / Master of Science

Le pouvoir communal et l'émancipation urbaine au XVe siècle : le cas de la ville de Liège (1400-1455)Dufault, Roseline 08 1900 (has links)
La ville de Liège, à la fin du Moyen Âge, fut le théâtre de l’affirmation de ses bourgeois par l’entremise des corporations de métier et des institutions communales. Le XIVe siècle fut en effet marqué par des gains communaux importants au détriment, d’une part, du patriciat urbain, d’autre part, du prince-évêque de Liège. À partir de 1384, le Conseil liégeois, entièrement entre les mains des artisans, possédait des prérogatives étendues dans l’administration et la gestion de la ville. Toutefois, la progression du pouvoir bourgeois se trouva brusquement stoppée, pour une dizaine d’années, lors de la défaite liégeoise d’Othée, en 1408. Ce mémoire porte sur l’évolution du pouvoir communal liégeois dans la première moitié du XVe siècle, moins bien connue des historiens. L’étude de la chronique de Jean de Stavelot permet de mettre en lumière cette période trouble. La défaite d’Othée de même que les réformes imposées par les princes-évêques causèrent notamment de grands bouleversements. Des partis politiques entrèrent aussi en scène et la présence voisine du puissant duc de Bourgogne influença la vie des Liégeois. Ces particularités issues du contexte politique et social sont autant d’éléments qui influèrent sur la volonté d’affirmation des bourgeois et l’exercice du pouvoir communal à Liège. / The city of Liege, in the late Middle Ages, witnessed the assertions of its bourgeois through their guilds and municipal institutions. The fourteenth century was indeed marked by significant gains for the municipal power at the expense of the urban patriciate on one hand and of the prince-bishop of Liege on the other hand. From 1384, the Council of Liege, entirely in the hands of the craftsmen, possessed extensive powers in the administration and management of the city. However, the growth of the power of these bourgeois was suddenly stopped for a decade after their defeat in Othee in 1408. This thesis discusses the evolution of communal power in Liege during the first half of the fifteenth century, less well known by historians. The study of the chronicle of Jean de Stavelot can highlight this troubled period. The defeat of Othee, as well as reforms imposed by prince-bishops, caused notably dramatic changes. Political parties also entered the scene and the neighboring presence of the powerful Duke of Burgundy influenced the lives of the bourgeois of Liege. These features of the political and social context are factors which influenced the willingness of the bourgeois’ assertion and the exercise of communal power in Liege.

Le chaos régulé : une approche épistémique de l’intervention humanitaireSt-Paul, Rose-Anne 01 1900 (has links)
L’objectif de cette recherche est de comparer deux modes d’intervention internationale (étatique et non-étatique) qui ont une optique de maintien ou de rétablissement de l’ordre et de la paix, de développement économique et social, pour des raisons humanitaires. De fait, la frontière est aujourd’hui floue entre les interventions étatiques et non-étatiques. Pour éviter une confusion conceptuelle, l’objet de l’étude est la comparaison de trois moments historiques d’intervention américaine en Haïti. L’étude se déroule en deux temps. D’abord elle servira à comprendre la logique d’action de l’État américain lors des interventions passées et présente afin de relever les objectifs implicites et explicites de ces interventions. Dans un deuxième temps elle se concentrera sur la biopolitique dans l’intervention humanitaire et l’application de la théorie de régulation du chaos. Celle-ci impliquant des conditions variées, elle propose un modèle théorique qui vise à comprendre l’intervention contemporaine en tant que nouveau cadre épistémique d’action politique, celle du ‘chaos régulé’ (‘Regulated Chaos’: McFalls, Pandolfi, Nguyen). Cette recherche transpose donc l’emphase sur la nécessité effective de l’intervention vers les propriétés de l’intervention. Elle est une tentative de comprendre les expériences sociales de pouvoir dans une zone humanitaire comme Port-au-Prince. / The main goal of this study is to compare two modes of international interventions (state and non-state) that have the objective of maintaining or restoring order and peace, economical and social development, for humanitarian reasons. In fact, the limit between state and non-state interventions is blurry. To avoid such conceptual confusion, the object of study is an ensemble of three historical moments of American intervention in Haiti. The study is divided in two points. First, it will help comprehend the logic of action of the American state during past interventions in Haiti, and define the implicit and explicit goals of these interventions. Secondly this study focuses on biopolitics in humanitarian intervention and the application of the theory of regulated chaos. Because this theory implies various conditions, it proposes a theoretical model that wishes to explain contemporary intervention as a new epistemic framework of political action, one of the « regulated chaos » (McFalls; Pandolfi; Nguyen). This study shifts the emphasis on the effective necessity of the humanitarian intervention to its properties. It is therefore a tentative to understand social experiences of power in a humanitarian zone such as Port-au-Prince.

Le mythe des Argonautes dans le théâtre du Siècle d'or espagnol / The myth of the Argonauts in Spanish Golden Age theaterGallego, Josée 17 March 2018 (has links)
Le mythe de la Toison d'or est le récit d'une aventure maritime jusqu'au bout du monde pour y rapporter un emblème de royauté. Chassé par un oncle usurpateur, Jason triomphe des épreuves qui lui sont imposées grâce à l'amour de la magicienne Médée. Tamis des orpailleurs, trésor caché, parchemin sacré, constellation ou Saint-Graal, le bélier volant qui sauva Hellé et Phryxos de la noyade a été l’objet de nombreuses interprétations.En 1430, le duc de Bourgogne, Philippe le Bon, fonde l'ordre de la Toison d'or pour fédérer les princes de la chrétienté. À l'issue de la cérémonie d'intronisation, un collier est remis au nouveau chevalier. Pourtant, l'évêque de Chalon se récrie face au choix de ce héros parjure, et l'on décide de lui adjoindre Gédéon, dont les brebis s'étaient couvertes de rosée mariale, en signe de la victoire prochaine sur les mécréants.Par le jeu des alliances matrimoniales, le titre de Souverain de l'ordre échoit à Charles Quint qui ajoute à ses armoiries le « Plus Oultre ». Lors de la bataille de Lépante, en 1571, la Galera Real Argo proclame, à coups de décorations, fresques, statues et devises, le projet de la monarchie catholique de terrasser le dragon qui s'est emparé des territoires chrétiens, assimilés au mouton doré du mythe.Quand la saga des Argonautes arrive sur les planches du théâtre auriséculaire, elle jouit d'un immense avantage. Le héros est connu dans son aspect le plus lumineux et le traitement bourguignon alimente la résistance face aux hérétiques de toutes sortes.Si le mythe se prête aux innovations les plus spectaculaires et relaie les valeurs de la monarchie, il entretient une singulière relation avec la politique menée par ses princes, tandis que les guerres laissent attendre l'âge d'or tant espéré, que la dette se creuse, que la cour mène un train de vie dispendieux et que la corruption gagne progressivement toute la société.Avec l'Art Nouveau de faire des comédies, Lope de Vega ouvre une brèche qui permet de voir derrière les ors et les fastes de la cour la lente désagrégation de la monarchie. / The story of Jason is a most ancient myth and survives in various forms. A more widespread interpretation relates the myth of the fleece to a method of washing gold from streams. More often, the Golden Fleece represents royal power, the spring-hero or a book on alchemy. According to Apollonius of Rhodes, a flying golden ram rescued Phrixus and Helle as their stepmother wantedto kill them. Phrixus safely reached Colchis where he sacrificed the ram and gave its skin to Aetes. Meanwhile, Pelias had usurped the throne of Eson and as his son reclaimed it, sent him to fetch the Golden Fleece. Jason assembled a remarkable group of heroes on board the Argo. At Colchis, the witch Medea helped Jason to complete the mortal tasks. Upon returning, she plotted the death of Jason's uncle, so both took refuge with their children in Corinth. There, the hero betrayed her as he fell in love with Creusa. The witch got rid of this rival, burnt the palace and slaughtered their chidren.In 1430, the Duke of Burgundy founded the Order of the Golden Fleece. As a shield, a sheepskin was suspended from a jeweled collar of firesteel linked by flints. But the choice of Jason caused controversy, so Bishop of Chalon linked it to the fleece of Gideon. As part of the Burgundian inheritance, the Order was a welcomed instrument to the ambitious Habsburgs to strengthen the bonds and Charles V added as a motto « Plus Oultre ».Performances of the Spanish Golden Age Theater were used to develop the ideology of the Catholic Monarchy. When Lope de Vega published el “Arte nuevo”, he introduced the tradition of the « Mirror for Prince » giving opportunity to express one's point of view, despite the censure.
