Explorer la question des cultures orientales en littérature québécoise contemporaine dans une perspective qui tient compte des dimensions esthétique et poétique, de leur influence notable sur le sens de la différence et de l'altérité, tel est le but de cet ouvrage. Bien que le degré de résistance de la parole littéraire au stéréotype et au préjugé soit variable, une telle approche, délaissant le modèle classique du dialogue ontologique au profit du modèle aporétique qui élabore ses «vérités» dans un cadre privilégiant l'intersubjectif, l'interculturel et le transculturel, démontre que la parole littéraire laisse souvent entrevoir la possibilité d'une réconciliation en puisant dans les ressources profondes du langage.
A comprehensive review of all the latest developments in cardiac electrophysiology, focusing on both the clinical and experimental aspects of ventricular repolarization, including newly discovered clinical repolarization syndromes, electrocardiographic phenomena, and their correlation with the most recent advances in basic science. The authors illuminate the basic electrophysiologic, molecular, and pharmacologic mechanisms underlying ventricular repolarization, relate them to specific disease conditions, and examine the future of antiarrhythmic drug development based on both molecular and electrophysiological properties. They also fully review the clinical presentation and management of specific cardiac repolarization conditions.
En explorant la représentation de l'Asie dans le contexte de la culture et de la littérature québécoises, cet ouvrage collectif met l'accent sur une différence identitaire en proie à des remaniements soudains. Si, d'un côté, l'Orient apparaît comme une énigme spirituelle et même une forme de jouissance inextinguible, de l'autre côté, l'altérité négative qu'on lui attribue côtoie les expressions à la fois aventureuses et stigmatisantes de l'ancien discours civilisateur. Or, l'Orient ne peut être la mise à jour d'un contentement, un récit de soi qui favorise un ressourcement factice. Au contraire des faux miroirs de l'exotisme, il pose constamment la question du dilemme séculaire entre le rejet et l'idéalisation de l'autre.
Burtt's book, The Metaphysical Foundations of Modern Physical Science, is something of a puzzle within the context of twentieth-century intellectual history, especially American intellectual history. Burtt's pioneering study of the scientific revolution has proved to prophetic in its rejection of both scientism and positivism. Published in 1924, Burtt's book continues to be read in educated circles and remains both the rose and the thorn on university reading lists, raising skeptical questions about science methods and science knowledge just as it did seventy-five years ago. This book examines Burtt's public, academic and personal life. From his politics of conscience after World War I on th...
Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine Thomas S. Deisboeck and J. Yasha Kresh Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine covers the emerging field of systems science involving the application of physics, mathematics, engineering and computational methods and techniques to the study of biomedicine including nonlinear dynamics at the molecular, cellular, multi-cellular tissue, and organismic level. With all chapters helmed by leading scientists in the field, Complex Systems Science in Biomedicine's goal is to offer its audience a timely compendium of the ongoing research directed to the understanding of biological processes as whole systems instead of as isolated component parts. In Parts I & II, ...
