  2. 1. The senses of modernism : Technology, perception, and modernist aesthetics

    Author : Sara Danius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Literature; modernism and modernity; literature and technology; literary history; cultural studies; human body in literature; visual culture; cinema studies; Thomas Mann; Marcel Proust; James Joyce; Litteraturvetenskap; Literature; Litteraturvetenskap; Literature; litteraturvetenskap;

    Abstract : This study argues that there is a constitutive relationship between technological change and literary modernism. Moving within a historical trajectory that extends from 1880 to 1930, The Senses of Modernism proposes that high-modernist aesthetics is inseparable from a newly emergent and technologically mediated crisis of the senses.

  4. 2. Losing the plot : architecture and narrativity in fin-de siècle media cultures

    Author : Malin Zimm; Katja Grillner; Jennifer Blommer; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Architecture; architecture theory; narrativity; virtuality; virtual reality; spatiality; plot; architectural representation; fiction; plotless; 19th century media culture; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the role of the term plot in mediating relations between architecture and narrativity. Examining organisational strategies in the creation of real and virtual spaces, it identifies literary works by novelists who have resisted, or subverted, plot conventions in fiction (Joris-Karl Huysmans, Edmond de Goncourt, Xavier de Maistre and Neal Stephenson), and introduces architectural spaces such as Thomas Edison’s film-studio Black Maria, and the plotless productions of early cinematography, to juxtapose concepts of plot and spatiality in a study of the production and consumption of pre-digital virtual spaces.

  5. 3. An Experimental Study on the Dynamics of a Single Droplet Vapor Explosion

    Author : Roberta Concilio Hansson; Weimin Ma; Geroges Berthoud; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; steam explosions; radiography; melt preconditioning; noncondensable gas; Low energy physics; Lågenergifysik;

    Abstract : The present study aims to develop a mechanistic understanding of the thermal-hydraulic processes in a vapor explosion, which may occur in nuclear power plants during a hypothetical severe accident involving interactions of high-temperature corium melt and volatile coolant. Over the past several decades, a large body of literature has been accumulated on vapor explosion phenomenology and methods for assessment of the related risk. READ MORE

  6. 4. An experimental study on the dynamics of melt-water micro-interactions in a Vapor explosion

    Author : Roberta Concilio Hansson; Truc-Nam Dinh; Daniel Magallon; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik;

    Abstract : Vapor explosion as a result of Molten Fuel-Coolant Interactions (MFCI) postulated to occur in certain severe accident scenarios in a nuclear power plant presents a credible challenge on the plant containment integrity. Over the past several decades, a large body of literature has been accumulated on vapor explosion phenomenology and methods for assessment of the related risk. READ MORE
