Sommario/riassunto

The scenes of Babel and Pentecost, the original confusion of tongues and their redemption through translation, haunt German Romanticism and Idealism. This book begins by retracing the ways in which the task of translation, so crucial to Romantic writing, is repeatedly tied to prophecy, not in the sense of telling future events, but in the sense of speaking in the place of another-most often unbeknownst to the speaker herself. In prophetic speech, the confusion of tongues repeats, each time anew, as language takes place unpredictably in more than one voice and more than one tongue at once.  Mendicino argues that the relation between translation and prophecy drawn by German



Romantic writers fundamentally changes the way we must approach this so-called "Age of Translation." Whereas major studies of the period have taken as their point of departure the opposition of the familiar and the foreign, Mendicino suggests that Romantic writing provokes the questions: how could one read a language that is not one? And what would such a polyvocal, polyglot language, have to say about philology-both for the Romantics, whose translation projects are most intimately related to their philological preoccupations, and for us?  In Prophecies of Language, these questions are pursued through readings of major texts by G.W.F. Hegel, Wilhelm von Humboldt, Friedrich Schlegel, and Friedrich H{uml}olderlin. These readings show how, when one questions the presupposition of works composed by individual authors in one tongue, these texts disclose more than a monoglot reading yields, namely the "plus" of their linguistic plurality. From such a surplus, each chapter goes on to advocate for a philology that, in and through an inclination toward language, takes neither its unity nor its structure for granted but allows itself to be most profoundly affected, addressed-and afflicted-by it.

Sommario/riassunto

This book highlights the system modeling, control, diagnosis and fault-tolerant design of the suspension, and guidance system of the high-speed maglev train based on electromagnetic suspension technology. The electromagnetic suspension technology has been widely used in real-life engineering, including maglev trains, magnetic bearings, magnetic levitation vibration isolators, magnetic suspension and balance systems for wind tunnels, etc. Based on the academic researches, engineering applications, and technical innovations of high-speed maglev trains carried out by the maglev team of the National University of Defense Technology, this book summarizes the technical achievements in the field of levitation and guidance control technology of high-speed maglev train. It analyzes the research status and challenges of the suspension control technology of the electromagnetic suspension maglev train. The suspension, guidance system modeling, and controller design of the high-speed maglev train are described in detail. The performance index and performance evaluation method of the levitation and guidance system under various working conditions are analyzed respectively. A suspension scheme of permanent magnet electromagnetic hybrid suspension high-speed maglev train is proposed, and the results of the vehicle test are given in order to further improve the suspension energy consumption and heating of electromagnetic suspension high-speed maglev train. The suspension and guidance fault diagnosis and tolerant control methods of the high-speed maglev train are studied to improve the system's safety and reliability. The research and application results of suspension control technology of electromagnetic suspension maglev train are fully displayed for readers. This book is intended for researchers, scientists, engineers, and graduate students involved in the rail transit industry, train control and diagnosis, and maglev technology.
