Photoliterary Memoryscape of Tomas Espedal: Mitt privatliv (2014) â a Starting Point in a Journey to Oneâs Past
Photography is inextricably coupled with temporal conditions. It is rooted in the past while concurrently referring to the recipientâs present and future. This article sheds light on the connection between photography, literature, and memory in Tomas Espedalâs photo book Mitt privatliv (2014; My private life). The central perspective of this paper is devoted to the link between the lyrical subjectâs autobiographical memory and the individual memory of the reader. My goal is to analyze how the reader finds their point of view while confronted with the lyrical subjectâs memoryscape from aesthetic, anthropological, and cognitive perspectives. Firstly, I discuss the form of Espedalâs Mitt privatliv and the bookâs potential liberatic character. Secondly, in reference to François Soulages and John Berger, I show how the correlation between texts and photography affects memory functioning in a photobook. Finally, I ocus on the mechanisms of autobiographical memory, or, more precisely, how the subjectâs and recipientâs memories relate to the bookâs physicality, structure, and the interplay between the word and photography. Looking through the lenses of Paul Ricoeur, Aleida Assmann, and the social-communicative functions of memory, it turns out that Mitt privatliv is not just a created and closed story of a single subject; it is a story that stimulates the readerâs memory and thus impacts their understanding and constitution of their âselfâ in both individual and collective contexts
Kan poesien redde? Lyrikkens rolle hos CzesĆaw MiĆosz og i hans norske gjendiktning ved Paal Brekke
The purpose of the paper is to compare the original verse by CzesĆaw MiĆosz and its translated version by Paal Brekke. To discuss the images of the poetry and the poet in Campo di Fiori and Tilegnelse the comparative translation theory is applied and the poets' literary background brought into focus. In the next step such issues as the translator's figure and his influence on the target text are addressed. The paper presents that Brekke's literary work alters MiĆosz's original poetics
Minneproblematikken i Lars Saabye Christensens lyrikk â analyse av jeg-personnens minner i lys av Memory Studies
The purpose of this article is to perform an analysis of Lars Saabye Christensenâs poem âNocturneâ from the perspective of Memory Studies. Recollections and the past are not simply the main issues of the literary work, but also provide a basis that can be used as a conceptual apparatus in oneâs interpretative work. That is exactly what occurs in the relatively new study field that focuses on cultural aspects of literature, i.e. Memory Studies. Through an in-depth analysis of the language, stylistic measures, and with reference to Aristotle, I focus on the mechanisms that are in control of the lyrical subjectâs memory. Just as essential are P. Ricoeurâs reflections on location and spatiality as well as A. Assmanâs postulates that enable to describe objects and places as having a memory. The application of the ideas of Memory Studies as a methodological tool allows to determine the lyrical situation including the lyrical subjectâs internal states
Sowing summer grain crops early in late winter or spring: Effects on root growth, water use, and yield
CONTEXT. Drought and extreme heat at flowering are common stresses limiting the yield of summer crops. Adaptation to these stresses could be increased by sowing summer crops early in late winter or spring, to avoid the overlap with critical crop stages around flowering. Though little is known about the effects of cold weather on root growth, water use and final grain yield in sorghum. OBJECTIVE. To research the effects of cold conditions in early sowing sorghum on crop and root growth and function (i.e., water use), and final grain yield. METHODS. Two years of field experiments were conducted in the Darling and Eastern Downs region of Qld, Australia. Each trial consisted of three times of sowing (late winter, spring, and summer), two levels of irrigation (i.e., rainfed and supplementary irrigated), four plant population densities (3, 6, 9 and 12 pl mâ»ÂČ), and six commercial sorghum hybrids. Roots and shoots were sampled at the flag leaf stage on three times of sowing, two levels of irrigation, and three replications, for a single hybrid and a single plant population density (9pl mâ»ÂČ). Crop water use and functional root traits were derived from consecutive electromagnetic induction (EMI) surveys around flowering. At maturity crop biomass, yield and yield components were determined across all treatments. RESULTS. The combinations of seasons, times of sowing and levels of irrigation created large variations in growth conditions that affected the growth and production of the crops. Early sowing increased yield by transferring water use from vegetative to reproductive stages increasing water use efficiency (kg mmâ»Âč available water). The larger yields in the early and spring sown crops were associated to larger grain numbers, particularly in tillers. Cold temperatures in the early sowing times tended to produce smaller crops with smaller rooting systems, smaller root-to-shoot ratios, and larger average root diameters. Total root length and root length density increased with increasing pre-flowering mean air temperatures up to 20°C. Linear relationships were observed between an EMI derived index of root activity and the empirically determined values of root length density (cm cmâ»Âł) at flowering. CONCLUSIONS. Sowing sorghum, a summer crop, early in late winter or spring transferred water use from vegetative stages to flowering and post-flowering stages increasing crop water use efficiency. The higher grain numbers in early sown crops were related to higher grain numbers in tillers. Root length and root length density were reduced by pre-flowering mean temperatures lower than 20°C, indicating a need to increase cold tolerance for early sowing. The EMI derived index of root activity has potential in the development of high throughput root phenotyping applications
Transformational agronomy by growing summer crops in winter: The cropping system and farm profits
The idea that âYield is Kingâ fails to acknowledge that what matters most to farmers is farm profits and risk, rather than yield. This is because decisions made in one season will affect options and crop performance over the next few years. Therefore, quantifying the longer-term impacts of innovation adoption is important. We used the Agricultural Production Simulation model (APSIM) to simulate and investigate the implications of adopting rain-fed winter sown sorghum in the Australian northern grains region. Results indicate that within a crop rotation early-planted sorghum will tend to decrease median sorghum crop yields but increase the following winter crop yields. This appears to have a marginal economic effect in Breeza and Dalby but encouraging results in Emerald. The inclusion of chickpea within the rotation increased returns in the best seasons with little change to downside risks in poor seasons
