Sommario/riassunto |
|
Although a relevant number of projects digitizing inscriptions are under development or have been recently accomplished, Digital Epigraphy is not yet considered to be a proper discipline and there are still no regular occasions to meet and discuss. By collecting contributions on nineteen projects - very diversified for geographic and chronological context, for script and language, and for typology of digital output - this volume intends to point out the methodological issues which are specific to the application of information technologies to epigraphy.The first part of the volume is focused on data modelling and encoding, which are conditioned by the specific features of different scripts and languages, and deeply influence the possibility to perform searches on texts and the approach to the lexicographic study of such under-resourced languages. The second part of the volume is dedicated to the initiatives aimed at fostering aggregation, dissemination and the reuse of epigraphic materials, and to discuss issues of interoperability.The common theme of the volume is the relationship between the compliance with the theoretic tools and the methodologies developed by each different tradition of studies, and, on the other side, the necessity of adopting a common framework in order to produce commensurable and shareable results. The final question is whether the computational approach is changing the way epigraphy is studied, to the extent of renovating the discipline on the basis of new, unexplored questions. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Le présent essai propose une étude critique inédite de plusieurs œuvres littéraires de langue anglaise, issues du contact entre l’empire britannique et l’une de ses colonies, l’Inde. Le postcolonialisme en question a pour point de départ la mise en évidence d’une tendance caractéristique du pouvoir colonial à amalgamer biologie et culture. Les différents acteurs de l’entreprise coloniale, dont les scientifiques, ont émis des thèses sur la supériorité biologique, et donc culturelle, d’une certaine partie du monde sur l’autre, et ont fait preuve d’une méfiance, voire d’une hostilité certaine au contact, quelle que fut sa forme. Dans leur sillage, un nombre considérable d’écrivains britanniques ont articulé ces discours à leurs œuvres fictionnelles, et de ce fait, ont consolidé clichés et stéréotypes par un phénomène de transmission similaire à celle de la génétique. S’ajoute à la mythologie de l’homme blanc, seul détenteur du pouvoir, du savoir et de la civilisation, la notion de pureté. Pureté du sang, pureté intellectuelle, des jugements et des croyances, pureté linguistique et, par voie de conséquence, |

pureté morale. Discours de la biologie et biologie des discours constituent ainsi le fil rouge de la première ligne argumentaire de cet essai. Dans un deuxième temps, il est question de la façon dont les œuvres littéraires, dites postcoloniales, envoient à l’Occident un message radicalement opposé où l’impur devient la règle. C’est par la symbiose, le métissage ou la fusion des influences que l’activité créatrice prend tout son sens. La vision du monde n’est plus un cliché en noir et blanc, mais des séquences d’images bigarrées, miroirs d’une époque où le contact est désormais la règle. Ces œuvres postcoloniales prennent, par conséquent dans cet ouvrage, l’appellation d’œuvres transcoloniales. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
The polymer latex technology by emulsion polymerization offers significant advantages as compared to bulk and solution polymerization technologies owing to the better control of heat and |

viscosity of the medium along with the possibility of increasing the molecular weight of the polymer chains without affecting the rate of polymerization. These emulsion polymerization methods have undergone significant advances in the recent years and now a days, synthesis of structured latexes with well defined morphologies and properties has been possible. The development of miniemulsion polymerization has helped to polymerize very hydrophobic and very hydrophilic monomers, which otherwise are difficult to be polymerized with the conventional emulsion polymerization. The combination of controlled living polymerization methods like nitroxide mediated polymerization, atom transfer radical polymerization as well as reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer with the emulsion and miniemulsion polymerization methods has resulted into the synthesis of functional block copolymer chains, graft copolymer chains and star or multi arm copolymer chains in the polymer particles. Apart from that, specific surface modifications on the surface of the emulsion particles have been achieved which have expended the area of application of such polymer particles. The kinetics and mechanism of particle generation with the living polymerization in emulsion and miniemulsion are very complex, however, the recent advances have helped to understand these systems more clearly, thus, allowing to steer them to the advantage. Therefore, these recent advances in the latex technology need to be brought into a cumulative text in order to provide insight into the various possibilities of achieving the optimum latexes. |
