1	Sentimental Journey/Winter Journey: Araki Nobuyoshi's Contemporary Shishōsetsu Taylor, Anne 03 October 2013 (has links) Senchimentaru na tabi fuyu no tabi or Sentimental Journey/Winter Journey, a photobook created and published by photographer Araki Nobuyoshi in 1991, documented two highly personal events of the photographer's life. The first section consists of twenty-two images of Araki's 1971 honeymoon with his wife Yōko Aoki, while the second section features ninety-one images and an essay documenting the last six months of Yōko's life in 1989-90. This thesis measures SJ/WJ against a Japanese literary tradition invoked by Araki in his opening manifesto: the shishōsetsu. A genre of writing from the early 1900's that read like a confessional or personal diary, the shishōsetsu was regarded as a `true' story insofar as it revealed a totally transparent `author' within a totally transparent `text.' Given these criteria, this thesis determines the success of Araki's SJ/WJ as a true-to-life autobiography. Araki I-Novel Japanese Personal Photography Shishōsetsu

4	Quelques propriétés des algèbres de von Neumann<br />engendrées par des q-Gaussiens Nou, Alexandre 26 November 2004 (has links) (PDF) Ce travail est au confluent de la théorie des algèbres d'opérateurs<br />et des probabilités non-commutatives. Nous étudions les propriétés<br />des algèbres de von Neumann, $\Gamma_{q}(H_{\R})$, engendrées par<br />des variables Gaussiennes non-commutatives et $q$-déformées. Ces<br />variables $q$-Gaussiennes sont des opérateurs agissant sur l'espace<br />de Fock $q$-déformé, où sont réalisées les relations de<br />$q$-commutations canoniques.<br /><br />Dans la première partie de ce mémoire, nous établissons des<br />inégalités à coefficients opérateurs de type Khintchine-$L^{\infty}$<br />pour les produits de Wick des algèbres $q$-Gaussiennes. Ces<br />inégalités étendent d'un côté les inégalités scalaires dues à<br />Haagerup dans le cas libre et d'un autre côté les inégalités à<br />coefficients opérateurs, pour les $q$-Gaussiens, dues à Bo\.zejko et<br />Speicher. A l'aide de ces inégalités nous en déduisons que les<br />algèbres $\Gamma_q(H_{\R})$ sont non injectives dès que<br />$\dim_{\R}(H_{\R})\ge 2$.<br /><br />La deuxième partie est dédiée à la construction d'un modèle<br />asymptotique matriciel pour les variables $q$-Gaussiennes.<br />L'existence d'un tel modèle nous permet de prouver que les algèbres<br />$\Gamma_{q}(H_{\R})$ sont QWEP.<br /><br />Chemin faisant, nous traitons également le cas $C^*-$algébrique et<br />étudions diverses généralisations des résultats précédents pour les<br />déformations par opérateur de Yang-Baxter et pour les déformations<br />$q$-Gaussiennes de type $I\!I\!I$.

5	Styrka, uthållighet & självuppoffring -En studie om maskuliniteter utifrån mangaserierna My hero academia, One-punch man & Jojo’s bizarre adventure: part 1 phantom blood Ranta, Ellinor January 2020 (has links) Uppsatsen analyserar maskuliniteter i tre populära mangasserier: Kohei Horikoshis My hero academia (2014), One och Yusuke Muratas One-punch man (2012) samt Hirohiko Arakis Jojo’s bizarre adventure: part 1 phantom blood (1986). Syftet med föreliggande studie är attsynliggöra vilka maskuliniteter som representeras i mangorna och på så sätt kunna diskutera och problematisera de manliga ideal som ungdomar möter i populärkulturen. För att besvara uppsatsens syfte utgår studien från en kvalitativ metod och materialet tolkas utifrån ett genusperspektiv med inriktning på maskuliniteter. Resultatet visar att samtliga verk innehåller representationer av ideala samt icke-önskvärda maskuliniteter. Den självuppoffrande, uthålliga, starka och moraliskt drivna hjälten utgör verkens maskulina ideal. De icke-önskvärda maskuliniteterna underbygger sina handlingar med egoism. Vidare synliggör resultatet att mangornas konstruktioner av maskulinitet och femininitet både reproducerar och utmanar samhällets föreställningar om vad som är manligt och kvinnligt. I samtliga verk görs exempelvis femininet till något passivt och vackert och maskulinitet till något starkt och aktivt. Verken tar dock avstånd från tanken att män till sin natur är aggressiva. Resultatet visar också att mangorna skiljer sig i sina maskulina representationer. I My hero academia och Jojo’s bizarre adventure utgör protagonisterna verkens maskulina ideal medan protagonisten i One-punch man kan betraktas som en skrattspegel till ett traditionellt hjälte-ideal.

7	Queer as punk : queercore and the production of an anti-normative media subculture Nault, Curran Jacob 06 November 2014 (has links) This dissertation examines the historical contexts, major themes, and archival practices of queercore, an anti-normative queer and punk subculture comprised of music, zines, film, art, literature and new media that was instigated in 1985 by Bruce LaBruce and G.B. Jones in Toronto, Ontario. Via their fanzine J.D.s., LaBruce and Jones declared “civil war” on the punk and gay and lesbian mainstreams and conjured queercore as a multimedia subculture situated in pointed opposition to the homophobia of mainline punk and the lifeless sexual politics and assimilationist tendencies of dominant gay and lesbian society. In the pages that follow, I engage wider histories of radical queer politics and punk aesthetics and values to reveal the generative and long-standing symbiosis between these two energies – a symbiosis that informs queercore, but that also extends beyond its temporal and material boundaries. Through close analysis of queercore films (e.g. No Skin Off My Ass, The Lollipop Generation, The Living End, By Hook or By Crook), music (e.g., Pansy Division, Tribe 8, Beth Ditto/The Gossip, Nomy Lamm) and zines (e.g., J.D.s, SCAB, Bimbox, Bamboo Girl, i’m so fucking beautiful), I establish queercore’s primary themes: explicit sexuality (the use of risky, erotic queer punk images and performances to undermine heteronormativity and confront accepted notions of gay and punk identity); imagined violence (the deployment of a threatened, as opposed to actualized, violence in the hopes of frightening and, thus, destabilizing powerful white, bourgeois, heterosexual masculinity); and bodily difference (the circulation of affirmative representations of marginalized queer bodies, and specifically those that are fat, disabled and/or gender non-normative). Finally, I conclude with an exploration of the institutions and individuals currently involved in queercore archival efforts, thus placing my project within a crucial lineage of subcultural preservation. Taken as a whole, this study asserts that queercore articulates and disseminates a set of alternative identities, aesthetics, politics and representations for queer folks to occupy and engage within social space, providing a dynamic anti-normative, anti-corporate, D.I.Y. (do-it-yourself) alternative to a consumer-capitalist hetero- and homo-normative mainstream. / text Queer Punk Pubculture Queercore Film Zines Music Bruce LaBruce G.B.

8	Les représentations queer au cinéma : l'abus sexuel au masculin et son incidence sur l'identifé et la sexualité des personnages de "La mauvaise éducation" (2004) de Pedro Almodovar et "Mysterious Skin" (2004) de Gregg Araki Dion, Isabelle 24 April 2018 (has links) Cette étude propose l’analyse de représentations queer dans le cinéma des années 2000. Plus précisément, elle porte sur la façon dont l’abus sexuel au masculin est représenté dans deux films produits en 2004, soit La mauvaise éducation (La mala educación), du réalisateur espagnol Pedro Almodovar, et Mysterious Skin, du réalisateur étatsunien Gregg Araki. À l’aide de la réflexion contenue dans Ça arrive aussi aux garçons : l’abus sexuel au masculin du sociologue Michel Dorais, l’objectif vise à démontrer comment cet événement traumatique influence de manière significative la construction identitaire et sexuelle des personnages principaux. De manière plus générale, ce mémoire positionne ces deux réalisateurs dans la grande et riche lignée du cinéma queer, qui met en scène des désirs hors norme et des identités sexuelles alternatives. Le premier chapitre porte sur les théories queer et ses diverses manifestations au grand écran. Il permet par la suite de réunir Almódovar et Araki dans une même étude et de souligner la pertinence de cette réunion. Le deuxième chapitre s’intéresse, à l’aide d’analyses d’extraits significatifs des films, à la façon dont chacun met en scène l’abus sexuel au masculin et comment cet événement se présente dans la vie des protagonistes. Le dernier chapitre se penche sur la construction identitaire et sexuelle des personnages principaux, afin de mieux comprendre l’incidence de l’abus sexuel. Jumelée aux travaux de Judith Butler, l’approche queer sera donc mise de l’avant dans cette étude qui se montre d’emblée attentive, d’un point de vue cinématographique, aux notions de sexe, de genre et de désir, et ce, à travers l’analyse de plusieurs extraits filmiques et d’éléments à la fois narratifs et structurels particulièrement significatifs quant à la représentation de l’abus sexuel au masculin. / This study proposes to analyze queer cinema representations in the 2000s. It focuses on how the male sexual abuse is shown in two films released in 2004, Bad Education (La mala educación), from the Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, and Mysterious Skin, from the American director Gregg Araki. Applying ideas from sociologist Michel Dorais, in his 1997 book, Ça arrive aussi aux garçons: l’abus sexuel au masculin, we aim to show how this event significantly influences the identity and the sexual construction of the films’ main characters. More generally, this study places these two directors in the large and rich tradition of queer cinema, which focuses on unconventional desires and sexual identities. The first chapter deals specifically with queer theory main ideas and its various manifestations in cinema, which allows us to bring Almodóvar and Araki together in one study and to emphasize the relevance of this reunion. The second chapter focuses on significant scenes from the movies that show how each director presents male sexual abuse and how this event reflects on the lives of the protagonists. Finally, the last chapter analyses problems of identity and sexual construction in the main characters, to see how sexual abuse has affected them. Coupled with the work of Judith Butler, the queer approach in film studies is therefore adapted in this thesis, in order to emphasize the importance of concepts like genre, sexuality, and the manifestations of desire through the analysis of several scenes from the corpus. Therefore, particularly significant narrative and structural elements, as regards to the representation of male sexual abuse in cinema, will be studied PN 1995.1 UL 2016 Identité (Psychologie) au cinéma Identité sexuelle au cinéma Théorie queer au cinéma
9	Development of Sensitive In Vitro Assays to Assess the Ocular Toxicity Potential of Chemicals and Ophthalmic Products McCanna, David January 2009 (has links) The utilization of in vitro tests with a tiered testing strategy for detection of mild ocular irritants can reduce the use of animals for testing, provide mechanistic data on toxic effects, and reduce the uncertainty associated with dose selection for clinical trials. The first section of this thesis describes how in vitro methods can be used to improve the prediction of the toxicity of chemicals and ophthalmic products. The proper utilization of in vitro methods can accurately predict toxic threshold levels and reduce animal use in product development. Sections two, three and four describe the development of new sensitive in vitro methods for predicting ocular toxicity. Maintaining the barrier function of the cornea is critical for the prevention of the penetration of infections microorganisms and irritating chemicals into the eye. Chapter 2 describes the development of a method for assessing the effects of chemicals on tight junctions using a human corneal epithelial and canine kidney epithelial cell line. In Chapter 3 a method that uses a primary organ culture for assessing single instillation and multiple instillation toxic effects is described. The ScanTox system was shown to be an ideal system to monitor the toxic effects over time as multiple readings can be taken of treated bovine lenses using the nondestructive method of assessing for the lens optical quality. Confirmations of toxic effects were made with the utilization of the viability dye alamarBlue. Chapter 4 describes the development of sensitive in vitro assays for detecting ocular toxicity by measuring the effects of chemicals on the mitochondrial integrity of bovine cornea, bovine lens epithelium and corneal epithelial cells, using fluorescent dyes. The goal of this research was to develop an in vitro test battery that can be used to accurately predict the ocular toxicity of new chemicals and ophthalmic formulations. By comparing the toxicity seen in vivo animals and humans with the toxicity response in these new in vitro methods, it was demonstrated that these in vitro methods can be utilized in a tiered testing strategy in the development of new chemicals and ophthalmic formulations. in vitro Alternative Methods alamarBlue rhodamine tight junctions bovine lens viability toxicity mitochondria mitochondria integrity benzalkonium chloride sodium dodecyl sulphate sodium lauryl sulfate scanning electron microscopy Draize Draize maximal average scores zonula occludens cosmetic directive PETA humane society animal league ICCVAM ECVAM JaCVAM BCOP bovine cornea ocular irritants ocular irritation ocular toxicity human corneal epithelial cells vitro confocal confocal microscopy metabolic activity optical quality reactive oxygen species contact lens contact lens care solutions barrier function microbial keratitis mulitipurpose solutions tight junction cell damage claudin ZO-1 occludin MDCK Madin Madin-Darby canine kidney cells cornea human cornea human corneal epithelium epithelial cell line human corneal epithelial cell line sodium fluorescein sodium fluorescein permeability fluorescein permeability ocular surface cell monolayer Araki-Sasaki cell physiology risk assessment safety assessment ScanTox scanning laser lens epithelium corneal cells in vitro model ophthalmic formulations multiple instillation back vertex animal testing rabbit testing alternatives to animal testing cultured bovine lens toxicity of chemicals irritation irritants laser scanner organ culture delayed toxicity toxins hydrogen peroxide cornea toxicity cornea toxicity models prediction of human toxicity no observable adverse effect level lowest observable adverse effect level NOAEL LOAEL toxicity thresholds safety factors cornea uncertainty factors preservatives disinfectants ophthalmic products preclinical preclinical testing epithelial barrier drug penetration clinical confocal microscopy animal rights rabbit cornea human cornea human clinical effects toxic animal rights activist sensitive measures toxic effect toxicity threshold agar overlay agar diffusion agar overlay method agar diffusion method cytochrome cytochrome c apoptosis necrotic apoptotic necrosis caspase rhodamine 123 resazuran resorufin cell death cell viability metabolic dye microsomal microsomal enzymes cytotoxicity cytotoxic cytotoxic effect MTT XTT WST-1 plasma membrane mitochondrial mitochondrial morphology ocular toxicity potential ocular toxicity human corneal epithelial cell line confocal analysis corneal epithelium cell fluorescence alamarBlue assay rhodamine dye animal welfare toxic injury degraded mitochondria epithelial monolayer disinfectants membrane integrity eye toxicity eye viability dye toxicity in humans human toxicity effects on the mitochondria mitochondrial toxicity in vitro battery in vitro test battery ophthalmic eye drop direct contact product safety cytotoxicity potential molecular molecular biology refine reduce replace sensitivity and relevance sensitivity relevance rabbit ocular irritation test product development cytotoxicity models cytotoxicity alternative methods replacements for animal testing three r's beagle tiered testing tiered testing strategy replacements animal testing mechanistic toxicity cornea mitochondria dose response threshold Vision Science and Biology
