![]() ![]() ![]() Son recours à la technique du courant de conscience, à une narration conventionnelle et à des stratégies métafictionnelles révèle qu’elle ne choisit ni l’autoroute du roman bien fait ni la route secondaire d’une déconstruction généralisée, mais emprunte plusieurs directions sans chercher à les réconcilier. Plus de quarante ans après l’essai de David Lodge « Le romancier au carrefour », on peut se demander si Smith ne se trouve pas à un « carrefour angoissant », pour la citer elle-même. Par le biais d’une analyse de ses techniques narratives empruntées aux traditions réaliste, moderniste et postmoderniste, cette étude tente de déterminer où Smith se situe dans le paysage littéraire en 2012, comment elle s’accommode du legs du passé et quelles nouvelles lignes elle trace pour elle-même. Cet article propose d’envisager NW (2012) de Zadie Smith à la lumière de son essai « Deux directions pour le roman », dans lequel elle envisage deux routes possibles pour l’écriture romanesque: « le réalisme lyrique », et « la déconstruction constructive ». ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Richly informative, superbly researched, and utterly illuminating, Kill Chain shines much-needed light on the shadowy theories and theorists, secret military and intelligence programmes, and classified technologies that spawned our current age of remote-controlled assassination." - Nick Turse, author of Kill Anything That Moves "This brilliant book tells us how computers kill soldiers and civilians, and explains with bone-chilling clarity how generalship gave way to microchips from Vietnam to Afghanistan. ![]() "In this first-rate history, Andrew Cockburn takes readers from the Pentagon's mainframe-driven dreams of the Vietnam War era through today's visions of stealth super-drones, exposing the dark realities of twenty- first-century robotic warfare. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Typical models have no individuality whatsoever and most humans regard them as machines.

Something like artificial stem cells.Īlthough Robots’ origins are biological they are ‘mechanical’ in any other sense of the word. In this play a scientist named Rossum manages to synthesize matter that can then be used to create artificial yet functional organs and tissue similar to natural ones. It has to be noted that robots in Karel Capek’s play are quite different from those machines we regard as robots today. Furthermore, it explores different issues that could arise if artificial life was created. First of all, this play is the reason why the word ‘robot’ was invented. ![]() The most important of his works from robotics point of view is definitely the play Rossum’s Universal Robots or R.U.R., published in 1921. In his works sci-fi is often used as a prism through which different issues can be explored. It has to be noted that at that time sci-fi wasn’t yet considered a separate genre. Apart from his other works he wrote a few science fiction and fantasy works. ![]() ![]() There are secrets buried deep in Sophie’s memory-secrets about who she really is and why she was hidden among humans-that other people desperately want.

I like how the dad is always trying to make his daughter happy and give her the best hairstyle for her. ![]() Not my favorite book, but heart-warming and adorable and legit. Cute and simple, about a hard-working family letting their daughter express herself as she pleases □. Mom walks in at the end, her own hair covered (without explanation, so we discussed whether she might be coming home from the hospital, or something). The tale is a father-daughter story, where he tries (for the first time) to help his daughter get her hair the way she wants it.

Yet freedom would not come without its costs. So, when the opportunity presented itself one clear and pleasant spring day in Philadelphia, Judge left everything she knew to escape to New England. Though Ona Judge lived a life of relative comfort, she was denied freedom. Every six months he sent the slaves back down south just as the clock was about to expire. ![]() ![]() Rather than comply, Washington decided to circumvent the law. As the President grew accustomed to Northern ways, there was one change he couldn’t abide: Pennsylvania law required enslaved people be set free after six months of residency in the state.
