Gao Xingjian, winner of the Nobel Prize in literature, is a cosmopolitan writer, deeply rooted in the Chinese past while influenced by paragons of Western Modernity. The present volume is less interested in a general discussion on the multitude of aspects in Gao's works and even less in controversies concerning their aesthetic value than in obtaining a response to the crucial issues of freedom and fate from a clearly defined angle. The very nature of the answer to the question of freedom and fate within Gao Xingjian's works can be called a polyphonic one: there are affirmative as well as skeptical voices. But polyphony, as embodied by Gao, is an even more multifaceted phenomenon. Most important for our contention is the fact that Gao Xingjian's aesthetic experience embodies prose, theater, painting, and film. Taken together, they form a Gesamtkunstwerk whose diversity of voices characterizes every single one of them.Chinese-western discourse ;Volume 1.Chinese literature20th centuryHistory and criticismLiberty in literatureFate and fatalism in literatureExile literature, China, Western Modernity.Chinese literatureHistory and criticism.Liberty in literature.Fate and fatalism in literature.895.13/52Lackner Michael1953-Chardonnens NikolaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910787190703321Polyphony embodied3866824UNINA04119nam 22010093a 450 991036775950332120250203235437.09783039213245303921324510.3390/books978-3-03921-324-5(CKB)4100000010106122(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/43784(ScCtBLL)131cdb6f-1c59-4ca1-ab03-ddcc7ecf5d61(OCoLC)1163833381(oapen)doab43784(EXLCZ)99410000001010612220250203i20192019 uu engurmn|---annantxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCondensed Matter Researches in Cryospheric ScienceValter Maggi, Cunde Xiao, Augusto MarcelliMDPI - Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute2019Basel, Switzerland :MDPI,2019.1 electronic resource (144 p.)9783039213238 3039213237 The cryosphere is very sensitive to climate change, and glaciers represent one of the most important archives of atmospheric composition and its variability. From the Himalaya to the European Alps, the longest mid-latitude mountain chain in the world, lie thousands of glaciers that have collected atmospheric compounds over the last millennia. China and Italy are located at the opposite terminals of this long mountain chain, comprising strategic positions for understanding climate evolution and providing important information for the modeling of future climates. The results presented are highlights of some of the most recent advances in cryospheric studies, especially on the topic of mineral dust and aerosols in the atmosphere. They evidence the complexity of the chemical-physical processes involving solid compounds occurring in glacier, snow, and permafrost environments, covering different aspects such as spatial and temporal trends, as well as the impact of mineral and nonmineral particles. Results also show that recent advances in measurement techniques and source apportionment may be powerful and sophisticated tools to provide novel, high-quality scientific information.XAS spectroscopybacteriaXANESmineral elementsX-ray fluorescence spectroscopyiron geochemistryiceX-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopymineral dustcompositional data analysissynchrotron radiationdustglobal warming hiatussimultaneous measurementsTXRFlow concentration elemental analysisglobal warming slowdownpaleoclimatologywaterX-ray fluorescencesnowlong-range transportsouthern hemisphereAntarcticaice corecryoconiteevaporationcontaminantsPOPspaleoclimateXANES and LCFultra-dilutionparticulate mattertrace elementsatmospheric mineral dustcryospheric sciencesice coresX-ray absorption near edge spectroscopydropletsArctic rapid warmingmicrobiologycryospherepolycapillary opticsenvironmentLaohugou glacieriron speciationX-ray absorption spectroscopyArcticinsoluble dustMaggi Valter272824Xiao CundeMarcelli AugustoScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367759503321Condensed Matter Researches in Cryospheric Science4318291UNINA
