Sep 2018 Message from the Chairman Vol. 13 :: No. 3 :: Jul – Sep 2018 Message from the Chairman Dear IEEE Members, I am happy to write to you in this penultimate issue of IEEE ICNL for 2018. At the very outset, I would like to state that my experience during 2017-2018 as IC Chair has indicated that if IEEE India fraternity works in unison, many positive things can happen in the years to come. IEEE India Council is delighted to state that the "All India Student/ YP/ WIE Congress (AISYWC- 18)”, a flagship event of IEEE IC, was hosted by IEEE Bangalore Section with great pomp and show during 28th to 30th September 2018. This year, the congress was held at City of Palaces, Mysuru, and the local host was Vidya Vikas Institute of Engineering & Technology (VVIET). IEEE India Council is happy to inform that seven IEEE Sections of India extended their support to AISYWC-18. Around 450 participants took part in the Congress. Maintaining the continuity during 2017-2018, IEEE IC F2F meeting was held on 30th September 2018 hosted by IEEE Bangalore Section on the sidelines of AISYWC-18 in Mysuru. It was a very good meeting with participation from many sections, which is bringing in greater cohesion in IEEE activities in India. I put on record our utmost appreciation of the efforts of IEEE Bangalore Section in relation to this F2F meeting. This quarter was an eventful time for IEEE India Council. IEEE Bombay Section in collaboration with IEEE India Council organized a day-and-a-half long ‘Tutorial cum workshop on AI&ML’ during August 10-11, 2018. The local host and the venue for this edition was the National Institute of Industrial Engineering (NITIE), Mumbai. The event was supported by IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society (TEMS) and Standards Association (SA). IEEE India Council in association with IEEE Bangalore Section and IEEE TEMS Bangalore Chapter organized a two-day "IEEE Workshop on Intrapreneurship" on July 28 & 29, 2018, at Hotel Sterlings Mac, Bangalore. This workshop was organized especially for Industry Professionals working in large/medium industries, PSUs and R&D Organizations. IEEE Foundation Events on ‘Furthering Indian Perception of IEEE’ were organized by IEEE Bombay Section, IEEE Foundation and IEEE India Council on three consecutive days entitled “Destination Moon: Building of a Moonshot” at TIFR Mumbai on 14th September 2018, at Don Bosco Institute of Technology, Kurla (W), Mumbai, on 15th September 2018 and also at D. G. Ruparel College of Arts, Science and Commerce, Mumbai. More than 350 participants took part in the programs. It is noteworthy to mention here that the poster on WIE Symposium submitted by Dr Rajashree Jain was selected as one of the Top 10 listed posters for the WIE “Best Event" Poster Competition in the R10 SYWL Congress held in Bali, Indonesia, in August 2018. I congratulate all the IEEE leaders and volunteers, who have made all these wonderful activities to be great successes. I look forward to an equally active last quarter of 2018, which happens to be the last quarter of my tenure as IEEE IC Chair. With best fraternal greetings, Sivaji Chakravorti IEEE IC Chair 2017-2018 [email protected] IEEE India Info. Vol. 13 No. 3 Jul - Sep 2018 Page 1 Message from Editor H.R.

Vol. 13 No. 3 Jul - Sep 2018 Page 2 IEEE Bombay Section Events Tutorials cum Workshop on AI&ML IEEE Bombay Section in collaboration with the India Council has organised a day-and-a-half long ‘Tutorials cum Workshop on AI&ML’ during 10-11 Aug 2018. This is the second edition in the series, the first was held in Philips Innovation Center, Bengaluru on September 6, 2017. The local host and the venue for this edition is the Centre for Technology and Innovation Management, NITIE, Mumbai. The event was supported by the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society (TEMS) as well as the Standards Association (SA). Artificial Intelligence is an attempt to make computers as smart, or even smarter than the human beings. It’s about giving computers human-like behaviors, thought processes, and reasoning abilities. Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Deep Learning, Natural Language Processing give machines power to make decisions. Machine Learning is an AI technique concerned with learning insights from data and using them to make predictions about the world. Artificial neural network is a technique inspired by how our brain’s neurons function. Deep Learning essentially is a set of methods for training multilayered artificial neural networks. Deep Learning methods continue to dominate the field of machine learning and have wide range of applications such as self-driving cars, image processing, video analytics, healthcare, industrial automation, data analytics etc. In these tutorials cum workshop, distinguished researchers as well as experts from industry and academia gave insights on AI, machine learning and deep learning frameworks, algorithms and applications of ML and DL in different sectors. They also covered challenges and opportunities using these cutting edge technologies. The tutorial sessions were excellently conducted on “Deep Learning for computer vision” by Prof. Santosh Chapaneri (St. Francis Institute of Technology, Borivali) and on “AI and Hands-on on Machine Learning” by Dr. Shaunuk De, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay. The workshops were delivered on “Enabling Digital Supply Chain: A System Perspective” by Dr. Rahul Altekar (SAP India, Mumbai), on “AI in Defence Systems” by Mr.

  • Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath from a Kristevan Perspective
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by OpenGrey Repository Transforming the Law of One: Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath from a Kristevan Perspective A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Areen Ghazi Khalifeh School of Arts, Brunel University November 2010 ii Abstract A recent trend in the study of Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath often dissociates Confessional poetry from the subject of the writer and her biography, claiming that the artist is in full control of her work and that her art does not have naïve mimetic qualities. However, this study proposes that subjective attributes, namely negativity and abjection, enable a powerful transformative dialectic. Specifically, it demonstrates that an emphasis on the subjective can help manifest the process of transgressing the law of One. The law of One asserts a patriarchal, monotheistic law as a social closed system and can be opposed to the bodily drives and its open dynamism. This project asserts that unique, creative voices are derived from that which is individual and personal and thus, readings of Confessional poetry are in fact best served by acknowledgment of the subjective. In order to stress the subject of the artist in Confessionalism, this study employed a psychoanalytical Kristevan approach. This enables consideration of the subject not only in terms of the straightforward narration of her life, but also in relation to her poetic language and the process of creativity where instinctual drives are at work. This study further applies a feminist reading to the subject‘s poetic language and its ability to transgress the law, not necessarily in the political, macrocosmic sense of the word, but rather on the microcosmic, subjective level.
