Dialectics of Place and Space in Forster's A Passage to India: A Lacanian Reading by Ercan Tugay Akı

“…This study provides a reading of Forster’s A Passage to India in terms of space from the vantage point of Lacanian psychoanalysis in order to show that the novel fictionalises the dialectics of the place and space and its implications for the British and to argue that the attempt of ideological and semantic appropriation of India by the British ultimately fails and results in an ironical entrapment of the British in the places they created in the midst of the Indian space except for Adela who manages to cope with India without turning it into a place from a space. …”

Pukka English and the Language of the Other in E. M. Forster’s A Passage to India by Catherine Lanone

“…Forster opts instead for a deconstruction of the English attempt to appropriate Indian signifiers as a token language positing the superiority of the Raj. Ironically subverting the use of signifiers like « pukka », Forster seeks to open up the text to the very otherness of Indian culture, moving beyond the annihilating echo of the caves to enhance what McBratney sees as the voice of the subaltern in the text, through the orality of songs. …”

Frequency Variation of the AC Order Parameter Susceptibility of the Metamagnetic Ising Model by Gul Gulpinar

“…The extensive investigation of the absorptive and reactive parts of the AC order parameter susceptibility spectra of iron group dihalides, which is obtained on the basis of Onsager theory of irreversible processes, revealed the fact that the diagonal phenomenological rate coefficients γs and γm have an important impact on the nature of the order parameter relaxation process. …”

FEATURING THE SECOND REPUBLIC OF LITHUANIA: THE END OF CULTURATI AND THE RISE OF THE POSTMODERN by Marius Povilas Povilas Šaulauskas

“…Could the story of contemporary Lithuania, along with other post-communist countries, be written as a narration on a modern society that abruptly invaded the unexplored realities of the (post-modern) Plastic-Can as contrasted with the (modern) Iron Cage? Is it the intrusion of the Postmodern, which constitutes the main source of problems she today encounters as well as the conceptual key to understand the ongoing transformations of the "unhandy" post-communist habitat? …”

Writing, rewriting and revisiting the Cold War in Tom Stoppard’s Squaring the Circle. Poland 1980-81 (1984) by Jean Du Verger

Cameron’s Tories : Talking Conservative, Acting Radical by Harry Cheesman

“…The UK’s first year of Con-Lib coalition government has seen radicalism in policy which even Mrs Thatcher would have baulked at, with policies on health and education going to the very root of the relationship of state and individual, and a determined Euroscepticism which seems to go further than that of the Thatcher years. The “Iron Lady” was notoriously cautious in her treatment of the NHS, whilst the introduction of university fees was never an option seriously considered during her administration ; the Conservatives under Cameron have happily trebled them. …”

Influence of dipping time on cracking during bending of hot dip galvanized coatings with Sn and Ti contents by V. Di Cocco, L. Zortea

“…Hot-dip galvanizing is a classical process aimed to generate coatings on iron-based surfaces, used unchanged since 200 years: some chemical elements are added in the bath with different aims (e.g., Pb is really important for its fluidizing properties, sometimes replaced by Sn) but sometimes these elements are dangerous for human health (e.g. … Pb!). …”

« Foin de ma barbe, si je n’ t’arrange une djellaba bien à ta taille ! ». Aspects de la dispute en pays berbère by Claude Lefébure
