Stefan Zweig had an extraordinary gift for mirroring the complexity of humankind and the human mind, and was undoubtedly one of the most translated authors in the 1930s, but he is still considered a “poor cousin” in the academic world. Indeed, both his life and his work have been consistently viewed through the events of history, something neither caused nor endorsed by him, with the result that his worldview and the general perception of that view often have been misunderstood. In the 1950s and 1960s, scholars focused on the author’s use of genres and language, as well as his political views during the Second World War, rather than on the analysis of his literary texts. Although recent research points to the importance of Zweig’s humanistic worldview, which insists on viewing all human action equally, the poor image of the author caused by his earlier reception still prevails. This thesis focusses on Zweig’s autobiographical work Die Welt von Gestern: Erinnerungen eines Europäers (1942) as an adaptation of both culture and history. This dissertation demonstrates, how through the subject perception of the “I,” “life writing” becomes “history writing,” dismantling a cultural and political world. Not only does this “I” hold multiple functions, but each function illuminates a different fragment of an event in search of a “truth.” Zweig’s autobiography incorporates elements from other genres, which enables us to see him in part as a postmodern author. To illustrate the game-like use of Zweig’s subjective worldview, Philippe Lejeune’s “autobiographical pact,” Mieke Bal’s concept of focalization, and Walter Benjamin’s essay “Der Erzähler” will form the framework for a linguistic, narratological, and philosophical analysis. In order to show that autobiographical writing resides in the tradition of alternative history, rather than in the simple enumeration of facts, Henry Adams’ The Education of Henry Adams (1918) has been woven into the analysis of Zweig’s text, as an example of an autobiography from a historian’s point of view, who, although motivated by different circumstances, exposes a similar philosophy of history to Zweig’s. Besides Zweig’s autobiography this dissertation will also include other works of the author, such as Triumph und Tragik des Erasmus von Rotterdam (1934), Maria Stuart (1935) und “Schachnovelle“ (1942) as part of the analysis in order to show the reflexion of history and life in the author’s biographical work as well. / Thesis (Ph.D, German) -- Queen's University, 2011-08-29 09:09:58.611

The first part of this master's thesis in French Literature is as a short story collection. Inspired by people's social and family situations, these short stories try to render the conflict that structures these situations and gives life to characters. In general, this conflict always takes place between real and imaginary worlds. / The second part of this thesis is an analysis of two Stefan Zweig short stories. In my analysis, I try to determine at which moment a character passes from being simply a character on paper to a "living" character. Thereby, I hope to disprove Florence Goyet's theory that a short story character is merely subjugated to a structure. I use the theory of reception, as Vincent Jouve used it to study novels.

La fusion et la solidification couplées à des écoulements convectifs sont des processus fondamentaux dans le contexte géophysique, par exemple dans la formation des mares-mares arctiques. Ce système se caractérise par la présence d'écoulements instationnaires, chaotiques et souvent turbulents. Ce travail est motivé par des observations indiquant une réduction de la glace de mer arctique dans la mesure où le modèle global actuel ne pouvait pas prédire. Le but de ce travail est de fournir des informations sur les paramètres pertinents affectant la fusion / solidification dans les étangs de fonte des glaces de mer. La configuration idéalisée que nous considérons consiste en une couche de fluide chauffée par le bas et en contact avec une interface de fusion solide-liquide du côté supérieur. Nous étudions un tel système modèle au moyen d'outils numériques. Nous effectuons des simulations numériques directes par un algorithme Lattice Boltzmann basé sur l'enthalpie pour traiter la dynamique à long terme, ou de manière équivalente le régime à nombre élevé de Rayleigh, à la fois dans des configurations en deux et en trois dimensions. Nous montrons que le processus de convection et de fusion couplé n'améliore que faiblement le flux de chaleur et le mélange dans le système par rapport au réglage de Rayleigh-Bénard. Comme deux extensions au système de fusion, nous considérons l'effet de l'application de la vitesse sur la section liquide du système de fusion, l'effet de chauffage interne du système de fusion. / Melting and solidification coupled with convective flows are fundamental processes in the geophysical context, for instance in the Arctic melt-ponds formation. This system is characterized by the presence of unsteady, chaotic and often turbulent flows. This work is motivated by observations indicating reduction of Arctic sea-ice to the extent that present global model could not predict. The goal of this work is to provide information on the relevant parameters affecting the melting/solidification in sea ice melt ponds. The idealized setup we consider consists of a fluid layer heated from below and in contact with a solid-liquid melting interface on the top side. We investigate such a model system by means of numerical tools. We perform direct numerical simulations by an enthalpy based Lattice Boltzmann algorithm to address the long time dynamics, or equivalently the high Rayleigh number regime, both in two- and three-dimensional setups. We show that the coupled convection and melting process only weakly enhances heat flux and the mixing in the system as compared to the Rayleigh-Bénard setting. As two extensions to system of melting, we consider the effect of applying velocity on the liquid section of the melting system, which represents existence of wind-draft, and we consider the effect of internally heating the system of melting, which represents heating the system of melting through solar radiation.
