The personality of Oscar Wilde in his novel "The picture of Dorian Grey" in the light of queer theory

Today Ukrainian and foreign scientists are paying special attention to queer theory researches as a new stage in the development of neoclassical philosophy of the second part of the 20th century. Thus, the actuality of the research is in the necessity of studying and concretization of conceptual apparatus of queer theory as a new stage in modern literature. The research aim is to analyze the novel ‘The Picture of Dorian Grey’ by Oscar Wilde in the light of queer theory. Scientists around the world are interested in this theme because it is very popular and important in the light of last events in the world – equal rights of men and women, same sex marriage, openness in relations, demonstration of such kind of relations without fear of being condemned or punished etc. Thus, the methodological basis of the research is rather wide. Among the Ukraininan scientists the following should be called: D. Vershinina, A. Hizulina, O. Zherebkina, A. Kurovicka, N. Libakova, O. Obukhova, L. Pahulich, M. Stetyuha, V. Sukovata etc. There is also a wide range of foreign scientists such as B. Adam, L, Berlant, J. Butler, V. Depant, L. Fiol-Matta, E. Grosz, S. Jackson, A. Jagose, J. Kennard, A. Rich, T. Spargo, M. Umphrey, M. Warner etc

High energy radiation femtochemistry of water molecules: early electron-radical pairs processes

International audienceThe damages triggered by ionizing radiation on chemical and biological targets depend on the survival probability of radicals produced in clusters of ionization-excitation events. In this paper, we report on femtolysis (FEMTOsecond radioLYSIS) of pure liquid water using an innovative laser produced high-energy, ultra-short electron bunches in the 2.5-15 MeV range and high energy radiation femtochemistry (HERF) measurements. The short-time monitoring of a primary reducing radical, hydrated electron e¯¯aq, has been performed in confined ionization spaces (nascent spurs). The calculated yield of hydrated electrons at early time,G(e⁻aq)ET , is estimated to be 6.5 ± 0.5 (number/100 eV) at t ~ 5 ps after the ultrafast energy deposition. This estimated value is high compare to (i) the available data of previous works that used scavenging techniques; (ii) the predictions of stochastic water radiolysis modelling for which the initial behaviour of hydrated electron is investigated in the framework of a classical diffusion regime of independent pairs. The HERF developments give new insights into the early ubiquitous radical escape probability in nascent aqueous spurs and emphasize the importance of short-lived solvent bridged electron-radical complexes [H3O+...e⁻aq..OH]nH2O (non-independent pairs). A complete understanding of the G(e⁻aq)ET value needs to account for quantum aspects of 1s-like trapped electron ground state and neoformed prototropic radicals that govern ultra-fast recombination processes within these non-independent pair configurations. Femtolysis data emphasize that within a time-dependent non-diffusion regime, spatio-temporal correlations between hydrated electron and nearest neighbours OH radical or hydrated proton (H3O+) would assist ultrafast anisotropic 1D recombination within solvent bridged electron-radical complexes. The emerging HERF domain would provide guidance for understanding of ultrashort-lived sub-structure of tracks and stimulate future semi-quantum simulations on prethermal radical reactions
