These readings are founded on the psychoanalytic thinking of Jacques Lacan in his rereading of Freud and are motivated by Thormann's conviction that Chaucer understood what psychoanalysis would come to study as an unconscious operating in the subject that is independent of conscious control and desire. For psychoanalysis, the subject is interminably engaged with unconscious sexual difference and with what Lacan saw as the absence of sexual rapport. Chaucer's Comic Providence analyzes Chaucer's plots of sexual adventures, mishaps, and surprise to show how the five tales dramatize the lack of symmetry and absence of accord between the sexes. Ultimately, Thormann's interest here is in the ways these five narratives represent and deal with sexual division, in their means of handling what, in any case, cannot be avoided or mastered. Consequently, the resolutions of the narratives sponsor an ethics of desire: they affirm sexual pleasure and acknowledge misprision and limitation, but they do not compromise, close down, or finish with incompatibility, contraction, and limitation. Her reading, then, claims that Chaucer's poetry already reveals the unconscious that Freud is credited with discovering. As well, Chaucer not only anticipates Lacan's pronouncement that "the unconscious is structured like a language," but also his emphasis on unconscious sexual difference and the absence of rapport between the sexes. With few exceptions, while there has been much consideration of gender in Chaucer's stories, contemporary criticism of Chaucer has remained inimical or, at the least, largely indifferent, to psychoanalysis, yet because it considers both difference and continuity, change and perpetuation, and because it incorporates psychic processes, motives, functions, and dynamics operating outside of conscious awareness, psychoanalysis offers a wider range for analysis of Chaucer's tales than does gender theory alone. Chaucer's Comic Providence also addresses the unexpected, surprising, and providentially comic resolutions of Chaucer's tales, the concomitant abeyance of sexual conflicts, and the links between emergence and abeyance, which issue in the hope of a beneficent future. 606 $aSex role in literature 606 $aPsychoanalysis and literature 615 0$aSex role in literature. 615 0$aPsychoanalysis and literature. 676 $a801.92 700 $aThormann$b Janet$01352001 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 912 $a9910686498503321 996 $aChaucer's Comic Providence$93148085 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04220nam 22005775 450 001 9910254598003321 005 20200701082055.0 010 $a3-319-63411-9 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-63411-1 035 $a(CKB)3710000001631582 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4941322 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-63411-1 035 $a(PPN)203851439 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000001631582 100 $a20170808d2017 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 10$aEmission of Radio Waves in Particle Showers $eValidation of Microscopic Simulations with the SLAC T-510 Experiment and their Potential in the Future Square Kilometre Array /$fby Anne Zilles 205 $a1st ed. 2017. 210 1$aCham :$cSpringer International Publishing :$cImprint: Springer,$d2017. 215 $a1 online resource (142 pages) $cillustrations 225 1 $aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 300 $a"Doctoral Thesis accepted by the Karlsruher Institute of Technology, Karlsruhe, Germany." 311 $a3-319-63410-0 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references at the end of each chapters and index. 327 $aIntroduction -- Cosmic Rays -- Modeling of Radio Emission from Particle\Air Showers -- Testing Predictions for Radio Emission from Particle Showers -- Modeling the Radio Emission from a Particle Shower -- Comparison of Microscopic Simulations to Data of the T-510 Experiment -- Detecting Cosmic Rays with SKA1-low -- Conclusions. 330 $aThis thesis offers the first laboratory validation of microscopic simulations of radio emission from particle showers, including a detailed description of the simulation study. It presents a potential future avenue for resolving the mass composition of cosmic rays via radio detection of air showers.  Particle showers are created from cascading interactions when high-energy particles collide with matter, e.g. with air in the case of cosmic radiation, or with a particle detector in the case of experiments at CERN. These showers can consist of billions of particles, mostly electrons, positrons and photons. They emit radio waves when the absorbing medium is in a magnetic field, and this radio emission can be used as a novel means of detecting and drawing inferences on the shower and the primary particle. The new method is currently being established in cosmic ray research, where large antenna arrays may soon replace or complement traditional particle detectors.  In thi s study, a complete microscopic simulation of a radio-emission experiment conducted at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Stanford/USA, is performed, and the underlying physical models are validated. The model is subsequently applied to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project, which is a large interferometer for radio astronomy. It is demonstrated that the SKA, with some modifications, might also be used for cosmic ray research based on radio detection of high-energy particles from the cosmos. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aPhysics 606 $aPhysical measurements 606 $aMeasurement 606 $aAstrophysics and Astroparticles$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P22022 606 $aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19021 606 $aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31040 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aPhysical measurements. 615 0$aMeasurement. 615 14$aAstrophysics and Astroparticles. 615 24$aNumerical and Computational Physics, Simulation. 615 24$aMeasurement Science and Instrumentation. 676 $a522.682 700 $aZilles$b Anne$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0819591 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254598003321 996 $aEmission of Radio Waves in Particle Showers$92047121 997 $aUNINA
