Barnes's Vagaries Malicieux, and Nin's Delta of Venus, are examples the developing vision of female sex, and both authors use their literary techniques to accomplish their aesthetic vision of amorality. Nin's visions are based on her and her friends' extreme experiences. Her primary concern was expressing her erotic and amorally aesthetic gaze, and the results of her efforts are found in her aesthetic vision of Paris and the amoral lifestyle. Barnes uses metaphor and linguistics to fashion her aesthetic vision. Her technique in "Run, Girls, Run!" both subverts any sense of morality, and offers an interesting and challenging read for its audience. In "Vagaries Malicieux" Barnes's Paris is dark while bright, and creates a sense of nothingness, indicated only by Barnes's aesthetic appreciation.

<p>Autorka ovog rada ima nameru da prikaže delo<br />književnog kritičara Borislava Mihajlovića<br />Mihiza u okviru jedne celine jer su njegovi<br />kritičarski radovi, uglavnom, i dalje rasuti po<br />književnim časopisima. Poseban akcenat je na<br />&scaron;estogodi&scaron;njem delovanju u časopisu &ldquo;Nin&rdquo;<br />(1951-1956) kada je ovaj kritičar stekao<br />reputaciju o&scaron;trog kritičara koji afirmi&scaron;e dobru<br />književnost koja se tek rađala u posleratnoj<br />Jugoslaviji. S obzirom na to da su ovom<br />kritičaru godinama osporavali postojanje<br />poetike i dublje kritičke misli, cilj ove<br />doktorske disertacije jeste da dokaže suprotno i<br />da se delo ovog kritičara sagleda u kontekstu<br />savremene srpske književnosti u čije temelje je i<br />sam utkao svoj pozama&scaron;an literarni opus.</p> / <p>Author of this paper has intention to present<br />opus of literary critic Borislav Mihajlović Mihiz<br />within one place because his critically opus is<br />still scattered in literary magazines. Special<br />focus will be on six years time when he wrote<br />for magazine &lsquo;Nin&rsquo; (1951-1956) and he earned<br />reputation of strict critic who likes very good<br />literature which has been written and published<br />in Yugoslavia after World War II. Lots of critics<br />were denied that Borislav Mihajlović Mihiz had<br />his poetic and serious critical approach so the<br />aim of this PhD theses is to prove the opposite<br />and to illuminate work of this writer in light of<br />modern Serbian literature in which foundation<br />he put his large opus.</p>

[Truncated abstract] This thesis is concerned with the representation of madness in three texts by modernist women: Dorothy Richardson' Pilgrimage, Leonora Carrington's

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / AnaÃs Nin, autora nascida na FranÃa, mas radicada nos Estados Unidos, à tida como pioneira por ter escrito obras erÃticas do ponto de visto feminino. Nin ficou conhecida por descrever atos sexuais de uma forma metafÃrica. Em um de seus diÃrios, ela diz que tentou utilizar uma escrita feminina como forma de tomar espaÃo em um mundo que sempre foi liderado por homens. Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar de que maneira uma de suas obras mais conhecidas, o livro de contos Delta of Venus, publicada em 1977, um ano apÃs a sua morte, foi retratada nas telas, pois o livro foi adaptado para a TV, em 1995, por Zalman King, diretor/produtor/roteirista de diversos filmes erÃticos, e, por isso, conhecido como rei do soft-core porn. Uma vez que um dos temas centrais da obra de Nin à o sexo, o trabalho aqui apresentado se fundamenta em Krzywinska (2006), que comenta a abordagem do tema no cinema, Willians (2004) e Alexandrian (1991), que discorrem sobre os estudos pornogrÃficos e a histÃria da literatura erÃtica. Cattrysse (1992), que seguindo a Teoria dos Polissistemas, de Even-Zohar (1990), deu inÃcio ao processo de sistematizaÃÃo da adaptaÃÃo fÃlmica, serà utilizado para fundamentar o capÃtulo que trata sobre a adaptaÃÃo, assim como Hutcheon (2012) e Cartmell (2012). O propÃsito da presente pesquisa Ã, principalmente, perceber de que forma King transportou para as telas o texto tÃo caracterÃstico de Nin e de quais tÃcnicas ele se utilizou para tal. O contexto no qual a adaptaÃÃo fÃlmica se insere impossibilita a manutenÃÃo da qualidade literÃria de Nin, bem como a abordagem dos temas transgressores apresentados pela autora, no entanto, atravÃs da anÃlise de cenas retiradas do filme, à possÃvel perceber caracterÃsticas da autora presentes na adaptaÃÃo. / AnaÃs Nin, who was born in France but brought up in the United States, is considered a pioneer for having written erotica from a female point of view. Nin is known for describing sexual relations making use of metaphors. In one of her diaries, she said that she tried to use a feminine writing style as a way to gain space in a world that was always reigned by men. This research has as a goal to analyze in what ways her most well-known work, the book of short stories Delta of Venus, published in 1977, an year after her death, was portrayed on the screen, because her book was adapted for the TV in 1995, by Zalman King, director/producer/screenwriter of many erotic films and, as such, know as the king of soft-core porn. Once the main theme of her work is sex, the research here presented is grounded on Krzywinska (2006) that writes about the way the cinema approaches the theme and Williams (2004) and Alexandrian (1991) that comment on porn studies and the erotic literature history. Cattrysse (1992), who follows the Polysystem Theory by Even-Zohar (1990) and has started the systematization of film adaptation, will be used to substantiate the chapter that concerns the adaptation. As well as Hutcheon (2012) and Cartmell (2012). The purpose of this research is, first of all, to observe if King was able to keep Ninâs one of a kind text alive on the screen and which techniques he used in order to do so. The historical context to which the movie belongs to does not make it possible for the literary quality of Ninâs text to shine through, as well as the strong themes she writes about. However, by analyzing some chosen scenes from the movie, it is possible to perceive some characteristics of Ninâs writing in the adaptation.

Em sua vasta obra, a autora se dedicou à escrita de diários, romances experimentais, poema em prosa, contos, contos eróticos, cartas, crítica literária e ensaios. O objetivo da presente tese é analisar o tema da criação artística e da personalidade criadora no poema em prosa A casa do incesto. A abordagem estética do poema está centrada em dois aspectos: primeiramente realiza um estudo de suas influências - fortemente marcadas pelo movimento Surrealista, pelas ideias psicanalíticas, pela poesia Simbolista, sobretudo Rimbaud – e, em um segundo momento, explora a relação que o poema mantém com a escrita dos diários. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT / The fictional universe created by Anaïs Nin is celebrated for its highly poetical and lyrical form, abounding with images and symbols through which the world of human subjectivity is revealed. Nin was a prolific writer and throughout her life published diaries, experimental novels, a prose poem, short-stories, erotica, letters, literary criticism and essays. The present thesis aims at analyzing the theme of artistic creation and the creative personality in the prose poem House of Incest. The aesthetic approach of the poem is focused on two different aspects: Firstly, it explores the influences of the Surrealist movement, psychoanalysis and Symbolism - especially Rimbaud. Secondly, it investigates the connections between the poem and the diaries.

In this thesis the NIN artificial neural network structure created by Min Lin et al in 2014 is investigated. This is done by varying stage numbers and layer depth. By doing this ten different networks including the original NIN were created. Testing is carried out on a preprocessed version of the CIFAR10 dataset for these ten networks for a maximum of 150’000 iterations. The results show that the number of stages generally affect NIN performance more than layer depth does. The network with three stages and a layer depth of two performs best at a top accuracy of 87.44%. This is below Min Lin et al’s results. However, this is likely due to overfitting and lack of specifics on their training methods. The thesis concludes that studies of different types of micro-networks in the NIN are required. Studies are also required on deeper NINs with larger datasets to prevent the overfitting observed in the results. Larger datasets could be obtained by data augmentation. Furthermore, the results suggests that less complicated (by less complicated it is meant that the network stages have less depth) NIN implementations are more accurate than deeper ones. / I detta kandidatexamensarbete unders¨oks den artificiella neuronn¨at-strukturen NIN som skapades av Min Lin et al 2014.

However, this universe is composed from elements that cause discomfort, not just pragmatic, but theoretical. This dissertation aims to enter this obscure and marginal field. So, considering the eroticism as part of the text s structure and also a representation of a social and individual phenomenon, it was analyzed the Erotica of Ana?s Nin. For this, the approach was based on the philosophical conception of Bataille, with an intersection of the concepts of body (Le Breton) and sexuality (Foucault). After, it was made a brief introduction of the eroticism in literature, in order to legitimize and consolidate the erotic literary tradition, in which is inserted the writer Ana?s Nin. Finally, the literary corpus is compound by tales of the collections Delta of Venus and Little birds, and it was analyzed from the theoretical framework developed with the thinkers above cited. / O erotismo sempre esteve presente na cultura escrita, uma vez que, sendo um elemento essencial da condi??o humana, manifesta-se mesmo na sua aus?ncia. Contudo, esse universo ? constru?do a partir de elementos que geram um desconforto, n?o apenas pragm?tico, mas te?rico. Nessa perspectiva, esta disserta??o tenciona adentrar esse campo ainda t?o obscuro e marginal. Considerando o erotismo tanto como parte da tessitura textual de uma obra liter?ria, quanto como representa??o de um fen?meno social e pessoal, objetivou-se analisar a constru??o do erotismo na literatura er?tica de Ana?s Nin. Para isso, o erotismo foi abordado atrav?s da concep??o filos?fica de Georges Bataille, em uma intersec??o com os conceitos de corpo (David Le Breton) e sexualidade (Michel Foucault). No segundo momento, realizou-se uma breve introdu??o da presen?a do erotismo na literatura, com objetivo de legitimar e consolidar a exist?ncia de uma tradi??o liter?ria er?tica, na qual se insere a escritora Ana?s Nin. Por fim, o corpus liter?rio, composto por contos selecionados das colet?neas Delta de V?nus e Passarinhos, foi analisado a partir do quadro te?rico desenvolvido com os pensadores supracitados.

Em escalas interanuais a advecção de calor, sal e nutrientes pode afetar a produtividade primária. Pode-se citar a Circulação de Revolvimento Meridional (MOC) no impacto da concentração de clorofila. Neste estudo, a partir do método Multidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition foram obtidos tendências decadais de PAR, nitrato integrado na coluna d\'água, concentração de clorofila e fluxo de volume da MOC. Em variações de baixa frequência há uma relação entre o transporte de volume da MOC com o nitrato integrado na coluna d\'água no Atlântico Sul, e consequentemente, na concentração de clorofila. Dois possíveis cenários foram identificados sobre o efeito da MOC no nitrato integrado e na concentração de clorofila. O cenário 1 apresenta uma relação direta no sistema MOC-nitrato integrado-concentração de clorofila, enquanto o efeito do cenário 2 é indireto, com a MOC afetando outras variáveis que perturbam o sistema. Neste estudo também foi analisado a influência de teleconexões atmosféricas na MOC do Atlântico Sul. Foi achado indícios da influência da Oscilação Antártica na MOC do Atlântico Sul em escalas decadais. Conclui-se que variações de baixa frequência no fluxo de volume da MOC alteram o padrão espaço-temporal da concentração de clorofila no Atlântico Sul. / On interannual timescales the advection of heat, salt and nutrients can affect the primary production. The influence of the Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) over the chlorophyll concentration can be mentioned. In this study, decadal trends of PAR, integrated nitrate over the water column, chlorophyll and volume flux of the MOC were obtained using the Multidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition method. On low frequency variations there is a relationship between the MOC volume transport with integrated nitrate over the water column in the South Atlantic, and therefore, on chlorophyll concentration. Two scenarios were identified as possible mechanisms of influence of the MOC over integrated nitrate and chlorophyll concentrations. Scenario 1 presents a direct relationship on the system MOC-integrated nitrate-chlorophyll concentration, while scenario 2 has an indirect effect, with the MOC affecting other variables that disturb the system. In this study the influence of atmospheric teleconnections on the South Atlantic MOC were also investigated. It was found evidence that the Antarctic Oscillation can affect the South Atlantic MOC on decadal timescales. It was concluded that low frequency variability on the volume flux of the MOC can alter the spatiotemporal pattern of the chlorophyll concentration on the South Atlantic.
