Traditional conceptions of mother tongue are often seen as an expression of the ideology of a European nation-state. Yet, current celebrations of multilingualism reflect the recent demands of global capitalism, raising other challenges. The contributions from international scholars on literature, philosophy, and culture, analyze and problematize the concept of 'mother tongue', rethinking affective and cognitive attachments to language while deconstructing its metaphysical, capitalist, and colonialist presuppositions.Cultural Inquiryvol. 262627-731XNative languageLanguage acquisitionLinguisticsMultilingualismAffect (Psychology)PhilosophyLiterary criticismResistanceAufsatzsammlunggnd-contentNative languageLanguage acquisitionLinguisticsMultilingualismAffect (Psychology)PhilosophyLiterary criticismResistance400Castore AntonioedtautDal Bo Federico1973-edtautDE-627DE-6279911020840003321Untying the Mother Tongue4423459UNINA04258nam 22006495 450 991030041870332120200702104405.03-319-10283-410.1007/978-3-319-10283-2(CKB)3710000000248992(EBL)1968633(OCoLC)908090086(SSID)ssj0001354153(PQKBManifestationID)11747066(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001354153(PQKBWorkID)11323204(PQKB)10270932(DE-He213)978-3-319-10283-2(MiAaPQ)EBC1968633(PPN)181354551(EXLCZ)99371000000024899220140924d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrHigh-Precision Studies of Compact Variable Stars /by Steven Bloemen1st ed. 2015.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (138 p.)Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053"Doctoral thesis accepted by the KU Leuven, Belgium."3-319-10282-6 Includes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index.Introduction -- Spin-resolved spectroscopy of the intermediate polar DQ Her -- Spectral variability on the spin period of the white dwarf in V455 And -- Kepler observations of the beaming binary KPD1946+4340 -- Doppler beaming and Rømer delay in the Kepler data of KOI-74 -- A new grid of evolutionary sdB models and their pulsational properties -- MAIA: the Mercator Advanced Imager for Asteroseismology -- Conclusions and future prospects.This book, which is a reworked and updated version of Steven Bloemen’s original PhD thesis, reports on several high-precision studies of compact variable stars. Its strength lies in the large variety of observational, theoretical and instrumentation techniques that are presented and used and paves the way towards new and detailed asteroseismic applications of single and binary subdwarf stars. Close binary stars are studied using high cadence spectroscopic datasets collected with state of the art electron multiplying CCDs and analysed using Doppler tomography visualization techniques. The work touches upon instrumentation, presenting the calibration of a new fast, multi-colour camera installed at the Mercator Telescope on La Palma. The thesis also includes theoretical work on the computation of the temperature range in which stellar oscillations can be driven in subdwarf B-stars. Finally, the highlight of the thesis is the measurement of velocities of stars using only photometric data from NASA's Kepler satellite. Doppler beaming causes stars to appear slightly brighter when they move towards us in their orbits, and this subtle effect can be seen in Kepler's brightness measurements. The thesis presents the first validation of such velocity measurements using independent spectroscopic measurements. Since the detection and validation of this Doppler beaming effect, it has been used in tens of studies to detect and characterize binary star systems, which are key calibrators in stellar astronomy.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053AstrophysicsAstronomyObservationsAstronomy—ObservationsAstrophysics and Astroparticleshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022Astronomy, Observations and Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22014Astrophysics.AstronomyAstronomy—Observations.Astrophysics and Astroparticles.Astronomy, Observations and Techniques.523.8874Bloemen Stevenauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut792299MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910300418703321High-Precision Studies of Compact Variable Stars1771587UNINA
