    Le Théâtre innommable de Samuel Beckett

    No full text
    Ce travail inclut une étude approfondie des pièces de théâtre, ainsi que des autres ouvrages et de l'auto-traduction de Samuel Barclay Beckett qui veut rompre avec le théâtre qui "plaît". C est une analyse de l'œuvre d'un poète épris de ses langues, aimant jouer avec les mots sur la route de la recherche de sa singularité. Beckett cherche à trouver une nouvelle musique dans l'autre langue. Son auto-traduction surgit comme une flèche qui va droit au but. Les mots qu'il prend pour des notes de musique, sont manipulés par lui comme s'ils étaient des marionnettes. L'auto-traduction de Beckett se détourne du polyglottisme et se fixe au bilinguisme. Son écriture ressemble à la musique de jazz, à cette nouvelle musique de la valeur positive du rythme qui réunit plusieurs courants. Son théâtre est ce creuset poétique-culturel-linguistique-philosophique nourri par plusieurs croisements culturels, linguistiques, philosophique, poétique, littéraires. Ses dons de poète, de sensibilité, sa connaissance intime des arts, de la peinture et de la musique, son adresse intellectuelle, son ingéniosité de faire une bonne synthèse entre la composante visuelle et la composante sonore, textuelle et musicale, lui permettent de raturer les lignes de démarcation des genres artistiques. L'identité du théâtre beckettien émerge de sa différence et de sa volonté de se dépasser ainsi que de se libérer de l'obsession de se refermer.This thesis consists of a detailed study of the plays and other self-translated works of Samuel Barclay Beckett that sought to break with the tradition of theatre that entertains. It is an analysis of the poet's love of languages evident in his distinct wordcraft deployed in the search of a unique idea. Beckett was trying to find a new melody or theme when translating. His self-translations aim above all to keep true to the essence or reason of his works. He treats the individual words as musical notes that are totally subordinate to the themes, which he manipulates as a puppeteer controls his puppets. The writing of Beckett most resembles jazz music with its positive emphasis on rhythms that fuse various themes. His plays create a poetic, cultural, linguistic, and philosophical fusion enriched by the cross-fertilisation between these elements. The identity of the works of Beckett emerges from this synthesis of differences and from his desire to exceed himself and to free himself of his urge to shield his inner thoughts.ST DENIS-BU PARIS8 (930662101) / SudocSudocFranceF

    Robot move sequence determining and multiple part-type scheduling in hybrid flexible flow shop robotic cells

    No full text
    We focus on the scheduling problem arising in hybrid flexible flow shops which repeatedly produce a set of multiple part-types and where the transportation of the parts between the machines is performed by a robot. The cycle time of the cell is affected by the robot move sequence, part/machine assignments and part sequences. In a hybrid flexible flow shop in which there exist one machine in the first and two machines in the second stage, the problem of determining the best cycle time is modeled as a traveling salesman problem. In order to provide a solution methodology for realistic problem instances, a Simulated Annealing based heuristic is constructed and the problem is solved using two different neighborhood structures. The results are also compared against an effective proposed lower bound value. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved

    Predictive role of measurement of pelvic floor muscle thickness with static MRI in stress and mixed urinary incontinence.

    Introduction and hypothesisTo investigate the role of measuring the thickness of pelvic floor muscles with static MRI in the physiopathology of urinary incontinence in women with stress and mixed types of urinary incontinence diagnosed with urodynamic studies.MethodsA retrospective clinical study was designed in collaboration with the radiology department. We recruited only patients who had undergone static pelvic MRI to determine the etiology of pelvic pain and exclude gynecologic disorders. The study included 45 women diagnosed with stress or mixed-type urinary incontinence based on pelvic examination and urodynamic testing without symptomatic pelvic organ prolapse and 40 continent controls. We evaluated the images of pelvic static MRI of all patients to measure the thickness of the pelvic floor muscles with the radiologist by using an image analysis workstation retrospectively.ResultsThe right and left puborectalis parts of levator ani muscle thicknesses were significantly lower in the urinary incontinence group than in the control group (p<0.01). The right and left PR/OI ratios were significantly lower than in the control group. (p=0.001).ConclusionMorphologic changes of pelvic floor muscle thickness can be demonstrated by a static pelvic MRI, and this can be used as a prognostic test in the treatment and follow-up of patients with stress or mixed urinary incontinence
