Anàlisi crítica d'"Ofrena" (poesia) de Josep Carner

La tesi doctoral consisteix en una lectura crítica de la secció "Ofrena" composta de 178 poemes, del llibre que el poeta català (1884-1970) va publicar el 1957 com a obra poètica completa, després d'una profunda selecció i revisió dels poemes que havia escrit al llarg de més de 50 anys. La lectura deixa de banda la dimensió historiogràfica de la poesia de Carner i es centra en una anàlisi textual de la secció a partir d'un apartat de conceptes provinents de la teoria literària d'aquest segle i d'alguns dels corrent de pensament que en formen part, com l'estructuralisme, la semiòtica, el New Criticism, la desconstrucció, etc. Així, la tesi té dos objectius fonamentals: l'estudi del corpus que formen els poemes de la secció "Ofrena" de Poesia, i l'esbós de les possibilitats crítiques que ofereixen determinats enfocaments de l'estudi sincrònic de la literatura.

Analysis and regeneration of hypermedia contents through Java and XML tools

This paper presents a tool for the analysis and regeneration of Web contents, implemented through XML and Java. At the moment, the Web content delivery from server to clients is carried out without taking into account clients' characteristics. Heterogeneous and diverse characteristics, such as user's preferences, different capacities of the client's devices, different types of access, state of the network and current load on the server, directly affect the behavior of Web services. On the other hand, the growing use of multimedia objects in the design of Web contents is made without taking into account this diversity and heterogeneity. It affects, even more, the appropriate content delivery. Thus, the objective of the presented tool is the treatment of Web pages taking into account the mentioned heterogeneity and adapting contents in order to improve the performance on the Web
