The Back to the Future Trilogy incorporates several different generic elements, including aspects of the fifties teen movie, science fiction, comedy and the western. These different modes playfully intertwine with each other creating a complex world of repetitions, echoes and modulations. This essay seeks to interrogate the construction of generic elements and the play between them through a close analysis of a repeated performance. Genre is signalled through various strategies employed within the construction of mise-en-scène, a significant portion of this, as I would like to argue, is transmitted through performance. The material detail of a performance – incorporating gesture, movement, voice, and even surrounding elements such as costume – as well as the way it its presented within a film is key to the establishment, invocation and coherence of genre. Furthermore, attention to the complexity of performance details, particularly in the manner in which they reverberate across texts, demonstrates the intricacy of genre and its inherent mutability. The Back to the Future trilogy represents a specific interest in the flexibility of genre. Within each film, and especially across all three, aspects of various genres are interlaced through both visual and narrative detail, thus constructing a dense layer of references both within and without the texts. To explore this patterning in more detail I will interrogate the contribution of performance to generic play through close analysis of Thomas F. Wilson’s performance of Biff/Griff/Burford Tannen and his central encounter with Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) in each film. These moments take place in a fifties diner, a 1980s retro diner and a saloon respectively, each space contributing the similarities and differences in each repetition. Close attention to Wilson’s performance of each related character, which contains both modulations and repetitions used specifically to place each film’s central generic theme, demonstrates how embedded the play between genres and their flexibility is within the trilogy.

Timediscretization in weatherandclimate modelsintroduces truncation errors that limit the accuracy of the simulations. Recent work has yielded a method for reducing the amplitude errors in leap-frog integrations from first-order to fifth-order.This improvement is achieved by replacing the Robert–Asselin filter with the Robert–Asselin–Williams (RAW) filter and using a linear combination of unfiltered and filtered states to compute the tendency term. The purpose of the present article is to apply the composite-tendency RAW-filtered leapfrog scheme to semi-implicit integrations. A theoretical analysis shows that the stability and accuracy are unaffected by the introduction of the implicitly treated mode. The scheme is tested in semi-implicit numerical integrations in both a simple nonlinear stiff system and a medium-complexity atmospheric general circulation model and yields substantial improvements in both cases. We conclude that the composite-tendency RAW-filtered leap-frog scheme is suitable for use in semi-implicit integrations.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur arbetet med att utveckla och modernisera samhället Oxelösund gick till under expansionsåren 1956 till 1973. Frågeställningarna som studien ska formas kring utgår från följande frågor: Hur såg det konkreta arbetet ut? Vilka åtgärder ansåg man sig tvungen att vidtaga? Hur återspeglas folkhemsideologin i arbetet med att förnya Oxelösund? Det primära materialet till uppsatsen är generalplanen för Oxelösund som låg färdig 1959 och de protokoll som finns bevarade från generalplanekommittéerna, vilka arbetade med att utveckla och förverkliga generalplanen. Undersökningen sker utifrån ett antal nedslagspunkter i planeringsarbetet. Poängen med de olika nedslagspunkterna är att de speglar många olika aspekter på förändringsarbetet, samt kanske framförallt, att de tillsammans ger en övergripande bild av hur man tänkte sig det nya Oxelösund. Resultatet visar att utvecklingen och moderniseringen av Oxelösund i många fall utgick från folkhemsideologins aspekter. Planeringen för det nya samhället genomfördes inte bara som ett lokalt projekt utan även regionala instanser samt instanser på riksnivån var inblandade i arbetet. Stor tilltro fästes också vid experter. Även när det gällde genomförandet av själva arbetet slår folkhemstanken igenom på många sätt. ABC-tanken, där man skilde mellan arbetsplatser, bostäder och centrumfunktioner är genomgående. Analysen av bostadsaspekterna visar att utformningen av dessa var starkt klassrelaterade. Stor ansträngning lades från planerarnas sida på att utforma sociala mötesplatser exempelvis idrottsplatser, lekparker och andra fritidsrelaterade funktioner

German-Austrian Robert Musil (1880-1942) is considered an artist with an extremely unorthodox conception of art to a basic human problem. In his time, there existed a dissociation of substance from social values. Musil actually started with this foundation in considering the taunting dilemma that the accelerating technology of the century is overstepping each day the ability of the human mind to adjust to it. Musil maintained that social organization, patterns of thought and cherished ideals correspond to a reality that no longer exists
