The sexological aspects of Proust’s work have largely been neglected in its Chinese reception. The paper focuses on the Chinese (re)translations of Proust’s sexual discourses in À la recherche du temps perdu and expounds the epistemic challenges and the evolving strategies of translating sadomasochism and homosexuality into Chinese. It further explores how these observations refract the changing a
The Franco-Chinese migrant woman writer Shan Sa left Beijing for Paris at the age of almost eighteen in 1990. After her settlement in France, French soon became her additional, increasingly dominant language of literary creation. This article examines Shan’s three self-acclaimed ‘historical’ novels about ancient China – Les Quatre vies du saule (Prix Cazes 1999), La Cithare nue (2010), and Impérat
The Franco-Chinese migrant writer François Cheng (Grand Prix de la francophonie de l’Académie française 2001) is the first French Academician of Asian origin. His French-language novel Le Dit de Tianyi (Prix Femina 1998, rather differently translated into English as The River Below) recounts the protagonist’s life trajectory across the turbulent twentieth century, from wartime China to France and
There is a significant interest in scene reconstructionfrom underwater images given its utility for oceanic researchand for recreational image manipulation. In this paperwe propose a novel algorithm for two view camera motionestimation for underwater imagery. Our method leveragesthe constraints provided by the attenuation propertiesof water and its effects on the appearance of the color todetermin
In this paper we study the problem of automatically generatingpolynomial solvers for minimal problems. The maincontribution is a new method for finding small eliminationtemplates by making use of the syzygies (i.e. the polynomialrelations) that exist between the original equations. Usingthese syzygies we can essentially parameterize the setof possible elimination templates.We evaluate our method o
Neural networks designed for real-time object detectionhave recently improved significantly, but in practice, look-ing at only a single RGB image at the time may not be ideal.For example, when detecting objects in videos, a foregrounddetection algorithm can be used to obtain compact temporaldata, which can be fed into a neural network alongside RGBimages. We propose an approach for doing this, bas
Indoor localisation is a currently a key issue, from robotics to the Internet of Things. With hardware advancements making Ultra-Wideband devices more accurate and low powered (potentially even passive), this unlocks the potential of having such devices in common place around factories and homes, enabling an alternative method of navigation. Therefore, anchor calibration indoors becomes a key prob
The Twentieth Century in European Memory investigates contested and divisive memories of conflicts, world wars, dictatorship, genocide and mass killing. Focusing on the questions of transculturality and reception, the book looks at the ways in which such memories are being shared, debated and received by museum workers, artists, politicians and general audiences. Due to amplified mobility and comm
Informal leaders in the choral voice.Choir leaders’ experience of collaboration between the choristers.Most choirs and choir leaders have the aim to make the individual voices soundas unison as possible in the different choral voices, according to both timing,synchronisation and vocal blend.The aim of the present study was to investigate experienced choir leaders’experience and understanding of po
Efter en mycket kort överblick över vad vi vet om dominikanernas predikan i Sverige på medeltiden ges en edition av den latinska texten till en dominikansk predikan om S:t Olof jämte svensk översättning av densamma. I en appendix listas bevarade handskrifter från svenska dominikanska bibliotek.
Artikeln sammanställer allt vad bevarade källor kan säga oss om en kyrkoman vid namn Findor, verksam i Lund, Dalby och Helmarshausen under första hälften av 1100-talet. Fram träder konturerna av en kyrklig karriär under en period då kyrkan i Skåne organisatoriskt sett var stadd i snabb utveckling.
This chapter traces the history, past and present, of Romeo and Juliet in Sweden, by looking at a few memorable productions, translations and adaptations.
The entry tells the history of Shakespeare in the Scandinavian countries from the late 18th century to 2014.
The rise of ICT and the shift toward jobs with more flexibility in working hours and places of work sparked popular debates about potential for a ‘rural renaissance’. A key argument was that there are increasing possibilities to live in the countryside while being employed in large cities. This paper uses data spanning two decades to examine trends in and characteristics of employee–employer ties
