В статье анализируется проблема автора в романе Дж. Барнса «Попугай Флобера». Проводится сравнение авторского начала в романе и в сборнике эссе Дж. Барнса “Something to Declare”. Доказывается связь между данными текстами. Анализируется фактический материал, представленный в сборнике эссе и в романе. Делается вывод о разнице представления материала в обоих текстах: в романе, в отличие от сборника эссе, есть альтернативные версии и вымышленные события. Кроме того, в романе автор вводит дополнительную повествовательную инстанцию — фигуру рассказчика по имени Джеффри Брэйтуэйт, используя ее как авторскую маску. От его имени рассказывается история путешествия героя по местам, связанным с жизнью и творчеством Флобера. Это составляет основную часть повествования, что подтверждается и заглавием романа. Рассказ о жизни самого Брэйтуэйта лаконичен и фрагментарен. В статье подробно анализируется образ рассказчика, выделяются два уровня или две повествовательные инстанции. Первый уровень, во многом транслирующий взгляды Дж. Барнса, может быть охарактеризован как литературоведческий, второй уровень связан с психологическими проблемами несчастливого в браке рассказчика, отсылающего читателя к образу Шарля Бовари, героя романа Флобера. В статье делается вывод о многоуровневом авторском начале в романе «Попугай Флобера». В сочетании с иронией и интертекстуальностью игра с авторским началом позволяет рассматривать роман Дж. Барнса «Попугай Флобера» как постмодернистский текст. The article analyzes the issue of authorial manifestations in J. Barnes’s novel “Flaubert’s Parrot”. It compares the manifestation of the authorial identity in the novel and in J. Barnes’s essay collection “Something to Declare”. The article proves that there is a definite congeniality between the two texts. However, the author of the article concludes that the manners of presenting information in the novel and essays are different, for the novel contains alternative versions of events and describes imaginary situations. Moreover, the author of the novel introduces a narrator, a certain Geoffrey Braithwaite who serves as his mouthpiece. It is the narrator who tells the story of the character’s travel across the places associated with Flaubert’s life and work. The travels constitute a major part of the narrative accounting for the title of the novel. The story of Braithwaite’s life is laconic and fragmentary. The article analyzes the image of the narrator and singles out two narrative levels, or aspects. The first level is largely associated with J. Barnes’s ideas and can be characterized as literary. The second level is related to Geoffrey Braithwaite, who experiences marital problems and reminds the readers of a Charles Bovary, a character of Flaubert’s novel. The article maintains that in the novel, the authorial identity is manifested at numerous levels. The author of the article underlines that due to the interplay of irony, intertextuality and authorial identity, J. Barnes’s novel “Flaubert’s Parrot” can be classified as postmodernist one.

The events that accompany sporogenesis in the apogamous fern Dryopteris borreri parallel those seen in sexually reproducing ferns. Organelles dedifferentiate and redifferentiate, and form a discrete band across the equator of dyads; nuclear vacuoles and lipid spherosomes appear during prophase, and the major part of the ribosome population is removed and subsequently replaced during meiosis. Similar events have been found to occur during sporogenesis in mosses, gymnosperms and angiosperms, and therefore characteristic of the meiotic transition from sporophyte to gametophyte, even in the absence of a transition from diplophase to haplophase. The novel aspects of meiosis in D. borreri are largely those connected with the restitution event that precedes meiosis I and serves to maintain the sporophytic chromosome number throughout the life cycle of this fern. Pre-meiotic cells are regularly found to be cleaved by annular wall ingrowths, which traverse the cytoplasm but not the nuclei. The significance of these ingrowths in relation to theories concerning apogamy and plant cell division are discussed.

Fan Communities

This article describes the first two parts of a three-stage study investigating the information behaviour of fans and fan communities, focusing on fans of cult media. A literature analysis shows that information practices are an inherent and major part of fan activities, and that fans are practitioners of new forms of information consumption and production, showing sophisticated activities of information organisation and dissemination. A subsequent Delphi study, taking the novel form of a ‘serious leisure’ Delphi, in which the participants are not experts in the usual sense, identifies three aspects of fan information behaviour of particular interest beyond the fan context: information gatekeeping; classifying and tagging; and entrepreneurship and economic activity.

Literary Experience

Abstract This article explores how literary texts, in this case the novel “Catcher in the Rye” by J.D. Salinger, elicit metaphorical thinking as a major part of readers’ interpretive experiences. Our main argument is that metaphorical thinking does not arise only given our encounter with individual verbal metaphors, but emerges in various ways as part of our habitual forms of imaginative metaphorical understandings. Metaphorical thinking is closely linked to embodied simulation processes by which readers project themselves imaginatively into the lives of story characters. Embodied simulation processes capture readers’ rich phenomenological characteristics (e.g., immersion, absorption, transportation) of literary experience. Metaphorical thinking unfolds in hierarchical layers across different time spans during literary reading.

In this paper, we develop the initial theory of complex fuzzy soft hypergroup by introducing the novel concept of complex fuzzy soft hypergroup, complex fuzzy soft hyperring.   Consequently, a major part of this work is dedicated to extend the theory of complex fuzzy soft set, complex fuzzy hypergroup. Complex fuzzy soft quasihypergroup, complex fuzzy soft semihypergroup and complex fuzzy soft subhypergroup also discussed in this paper.

A Note on The Bride of Lammermoor: Why Scott did not Mention the Dalrymple Legend until 1830

Marital Problems

This chapter examines issues of the Scots law on marriage in Sir Walter Scott's novel, The Bride of Lammermoor. As first published in 1819, The Bride of Lammermoor opened with Peter Pattieson's account of the life of Dick Tinto, a painter, and of their discussions on the respective merits of narrative in the novel and in the pictorial arts. Neither Tinto nor Pattieson — nor, for that matter, Jedediah Cleishbotham as editor — referred to the story of the unfortunate Janet Dalrymple. The chapter argues that what restrained Scott in 1819 from mentioning the legend of the marriage of Janet Dalrymple were the severe and well-publicised marital problems of John William Henry Dalrymple, who was to succeed in 1821 as seventh Earl of Stair. It also considers a court case which illustrated the problems Scott perceived and also affected his discussion of The Bride of Lammermoor.

Air Vehicles

Traditional lighter-than-air-vehicles (LTAV), i.e., airships, are propelled by propellers. In this paper, an indoor LTAV “flying octopus” with four flapping wings is designed and built. The flying octopus has three parts: the balloon, midsection, and the wings. The balloon is filled with helium. Its buoyance is used to balance the major part of the flying octopus’s gravity. The midsection connects the balloon and the wings, and also holds the actuators, control board and power system. Four flapping wings are identical and each wing is composed of a continuous backbone, a membrane, a pair of wires and a number of eyelets. The flapping motion is achieved by the novel wire-driven mechanism. A prototype with a total mass of 1592g is built. The motion of the flying octopus is controlled by the four wings. Indoor experiment results show that, with the four flapping wings, the flying octopus can go in all directions, i.e., forward, backward, leftward, rightward, upward, and downward effectively.

The Prototype for Melville's Confidence-Man

Confidence Men

During the summer of 1849, while Melville was in New York writing White Jacket, the New York Herald carried a running story of the arrest and trial of a petty criminal known as the “Confidence Man.” There are several parallels between the Herald's “Confidence Man” and the character that Melville created in his later novel The Confidence-Man. Both the New York “Confidence Man” and Melville's Confidence-Man use the same approach and the same line of reasoning, leading to the same question: “Could you put any confidence in me?” Both men work under several aliases; both men use the former-acquaintance routine to relax their victims. In both the reality and the fiction there is a matter of bail to get out of the Tombs. And in both the novel and a Herald editorial a strong parallel is drawn between petty confidence men and the confidence men of Wall Street. From this correlation there is little doubt that this “Confidence Man” of 1849 was, in fact, the prototype for a major part of Melville's character in 1857.

Preceding Session

(Ed. note: The custom in these Symposia has been to have a summary-introductory presentation which lasts about 1 to 1.5 hours, during which discussion from the floor is minor and usually directed at technical clarification. The remainder of the session is then devoted to discussion of the whole subject, oriented around the summary-introduction. The preceding session, I-A, at Nice, followed this pattern. Christy suggested that we might experiment in his presentation with a much more informal approach, allowing considerable discussion of the points raised in the summary-introduction during its presentation, with perhaps the entire morning spent in this way, reserving the afternoon session for discussion only. At Varenna, in the Fourth Symposium, several of the summaryintroductory papers presented from the astronomical viewpoint had been so full of concepts unfamiliar to a number of the aerodynamicists-physicists present, that a major part of the following discussion session had been devoted to simply clarifying concepts and then repeating a considerable amount of what had been summarized. So, always looking for alternatives which help to increase the understanding between the different disciplines by introducing clarification of concept as expeditiously as possible, we tried Christy's suggestion. Thus you will find the pattern of the following different from that in session I-A. I am much indebted to Christy for extensive collaboration in editing the resulting combined presentation and discussion. As always, however, I have taken upon myself the responsibility for the final editing, and so all shortcomings are on my head.)
