    Creation, Resistance, and Refacement: Postfuturist Storytelling, Cultural Flows, and the Remix

    Full text link
    Constitutive of my dissertation is an exploration of contemporary literature and culture. Vital to my research is the notion and practice of the remix. Originating in music, it is perceived and deployed as a hybrid expressive mode combining textual, audio, and visual components. The text of the dissertation, accompanying photographs, and supplementary video files demonstrate this principal aspect. Focusing on the fusion of quest narratives and social activism, the dissertation looks at critical and creative vernaculars as forms of peaceful/peaceable resistance against multiple oppression. Reflecting some of the permeating modernist and postmodernist concerns, it emphasizes an understanding of postfuturist storytelling as cultural exchange in the intersection of the time axes. Reading the works of Stewart Home, Jeff Noon, and Kathy Acker, alongside critical insights of Terry Eagleton, Richard Rorty, Fredric Jameson, and McKenzie Wark, contextualizes contemporary idiosyncrasies historically, thereby rendering tradition remixable, rather than radically abandoning it. The remix investigates alternating cycles of noise and silence in the communication channel as a basis for the disambiguation of the misconception about the totality of discourse. The approach delineates vision of refacement: rebirth through subtonic solidarity of selfless, yet reindividualized, fellow humans engaged in enduring the hindrances to patient, persistent creation of a free culture based on love and trust

    Kernel Theorems in Spaces of Tempered Generalized Functions

    In analogy to the classical isomorphism between L(S(Rn),S(Rm))\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{S}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) ,\mathcal{S}^{\prime}(\mathbb{R}^{m}) ) and S(Rn+m)\mathcal{S}^{\prime}(\mathbb{R}^{n+m}) , we show that a large class of moderate linear mappings acting between the space G_S(Rn)\mathcal{G}\_{\mathcal{S}}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) of Colombeau rapidly decreasing generalized functions and the space G_τ(Rn)\mathcal{G}\_{\tau}(\mathbb{R}^{n}) of temperate ones admits generalized integral representations, with kernels belonging to G_τ(Rn+m)\mathcal{G}\_{\tau}(\mathbb{R}^{n+m}) . Furthermore, this result contains the classical one in the sense of the generalized distribution equality.Comment: 15 page

    AbstractThe subject of this paper is theoretical analysis and numerical verification of delta shock wave existence for pressureless gas dynamic system. The existence of overcompressive delta shock wave solution in the framework of Colombeau generalized functions is proved. This result is verified numerically by specially designed procedure that is based on wave propagation method implemented in CLAWPACK. The method is coupled with dynamic refinement mesh. We also consider a strictly hyperbolic system obtained from the original one by perturbation and change of variables. The same numerical procedure is applied to the perturbed problem. The obtained numerical results in both cases confirm theoretical expectations

    This paper deals with the morphological, formational and lexicographical aspect of multi-word lexemes. Morphologically, established expressions - multi-word lexemes have the function and meaning of words, but derivationally they are the result of semantic-syntactic connection of more one-word morphological items, i.e. they are syntactic creation. The examples of such items are provided according to the part of speech and therefore, it is pointed out the theoretical aspect of these lexical items in grammar books (in chapters related to word formation) and monographs
