In The Red Violin, Girard＇s cinematic experiments apply techniques of montage and of repetitive musical theme, practicing intertextuality of non-chronological stories by paralleling various memories of each individual character, blurring the biological and metaphorical boundaries between the living and non-living, and highlighting the fateful interrelations among time, space and different characters＇ life experiences. In this vein, the memories and beings of both the living and the dead are tightly woven together while reproduced--or further, relived--in temporal, spatial and trans-individual dynamics. Reversing the negative imaginaries of loss and death, both Derrida and The Red Violin agree with a messianic work of mourning by exploring the powerful potentiality of spectrality that manifests a way to mutualize the subject/ other, the living/non-living, into a promised being, thus gesturing towards an infinite future.展开更多

The new implicit numerical integration technique of the authors, which is based on a simple approximation of the linear system, has great advantages over the existing implicit integration methods. Moreover, experiment shows that the new technique is highly efficient in animating a kind of non-rigid objects, and suitable for the draping module of the 3D garment CAD system.展开更多
