Toledano, Dorith. "L'écriture et le silence chez Elie Wiesel." Thesis, McGill University, 1993. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=69677.
Full textAbstract:
Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor, confronts a tragic dilemma: he must bear witness in order to pay respect to the memory of victims and perhaps help prevent a repetition of history. But are there words that can express the horror of the Holocaust? Would silence not be more appropriate in respect to the victims?Elie Wiesel is not the first to confront such a dilemma. Throughout Jewish history, tragedies and catastrophes have forced Jewish writers to face the issue. Many literary schools have emerged, particularly in the "modern period" (1850-1945), which have dealt with the question of how to best respond to the tragedy. It is therefore fitting to try and consider Elie Wiesel's works in light of these various literary currents.
However, the Holocaust is not just another tragedy, not even another catastrophe. The event has no precedent; it is unique; it represents the ultimate evil. How to come to terms with it? What is the way between the powerlessness of language and the impossibility of silence? Elie Wiesel must find the delicate art of making silence be heard beyond the noise of words. He will suggest rather than tell the event. He will maintain a distance to protect the secret of the victims in front of the horror. Survivors who share the secret, express themselves with a code, which is not transmissible. Language has been devalued and words have lost their meaning. But to remain silent might also be a form of treason.
From Night, his first book, and throughout all his works, Wiesel assiduously develops his way of bearing witness in the name of the victims. He rejects the silence which would be synonymous with passive acceptance. He identifies with Job and demands account from God for His absence and His silence, while evil was committed. He distrusts language but must find the way to translate the uniqueness of the Holocaust. He finds his inspiration in the tales and legends of the literature of the Bible, the Talmud and the Hassidism. He evokes, suggests and tells while trying to respect the blanks between the words. In language and in silence, Wiesel developed a certain art of suggesting for what cannot be told otherwise.

Marusza, Julie A. "The transforming art of Anne Sexton /." Thesis, McGill University, 1993. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=69619.
Full textAbstract:
By using rigorous conventional structure in her early work Anne Sexton was able to successfully contain some of her severe psychological instabilities stemming from childhood in poetic form. Sexton's artistic direction underwent a sharp change midway into her poetic career after she wrote the volume Transformations, a collection of story-poems based on narratives from the Grimm fairy tales. In this collection, Sexton took on the external persona of a witch, and with her new voice, she was boldly able to re-tell her version of the Grimm tales. The new persona enabled Sexton to shed her previous voice of passivity, and instead criticize humanity by using satire and humor. Unfortunately, this movement in her work was an exercise in self-exploitation as the larger, cultural arena of Grimm put off any chance of working out her private problems. After Transformations Sexton had come to the realization of her self-exploitation and decided to even further separate herself from humanity by continuing to work with even more generalized, cultural forms--a movement that ultimately led her to mythologize her own death.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis uses Hirsch's dual notion of intention, i. e. conscious, intentional meaning and symptomatic, unconscious meaning, in order to avoid a dead end in the critical assessment of Warhol's work. T.S. Eliot's term "objective correlative" refers to a phenomenon whereby "an inner emotional reality" is evoked by its "external equivalent". (Benet, 1965). Thus, given that no work of art is purely self-referential (as distinct from its being autonomous),Hirsch's notion allows that viewerreconstruction of a painting involves shared values and concerns; that a painting reconstructed by a viewer acquires the status of an icon through which the viewer participates in the artist's sacred cosmos. Sociology of art tends on the whole to extrapolate from actual works to the alleged conditions that gave rise to them. That it cannot predict what specific works will arise from given conditions makes it unscientific. However, its usefulness lies in its ability to reveal what values and concerns are shared by artist and viewer. This is vital for an interpretation of Warhol's work. Warhol's biography leads directly into the meaning of his work. The sickly child of an immigrant steelworker, he grew up in Pittsburgh - an epitome of the technocratic-industrial environment - and was exposed from an early age to a violent and ugly world where the disparity between the super-wealthy and the struggling workers was deeply disturbing. That Warhol himself became a multi-millionaire artistic tycoon is significant, for it means that his works, his icons, were participatory in the very cultural myths and neuroses they appear to display or even despise. That his work has meaning and is open to interpretation there is no doubt. For example, a man-made soup can, as a manifestation and containment of the sacred, is coercive. Here the sacred becomes familiar, affordable and disposable. An electric chair, a man-made instrument of death, gives man supremacy over mortality and the divine prerogative of purging the world of all evil. The essay, however, does not attempt to answer the broader questions raised by Fromm and Roszak about the spiritual emptiness of the twentieth century and the existential crises experienced by those who hunger for meaning and fasten greedily onto anything that seems to proffer a glimpse of something beyond. The essay, nevertheless, strives within this context to elucidate the valid in Warhol's work

Full textAbstract:
A thesis which examines Schumann's secret musical language and the development of that language into a highly complex system of extra-musical meanings expressed in tones, special motifs, harmonic progressions and keys. This study traces the development of Schumann's procedures by first analysing the songs of 1840 to see which repeated musical devices connected with texts. Once they have been identified, the application of these devices is then examined, retrospectively, in selected works for solo piano. Relying heavily on Schumann's diaries and letters, as well as a detailed analysis of selected works for voice and solo piano, this study shows the extra-musical meaning to be ultimately concerned with Schumann's wish to marry Clara Wieck and her father's unyeilding opposition to the idea.

Matambo, Lotta Eleonoora. "The solo piano music of Einojuhani Rautavaara." Thesis, Rhodes University, 2012. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1002311.
Full textAbstract:
Einojuhani Rautavaara's oeuvre is characterised by four distinctive creative periods, each demonstrating a remarkable variety of compositional idioms and styles. His application of multifaceted elements, often within a single work leading to notions of postmodernism, is derived from multifarious sources, such as (Finnish) folklore, Orthodox mysticism and a wide variety of standard twentieth century compositional techniques. Furthermore, Rautavaara regularly quotes from his own material, thus creating elements of auto-allusions within his oeuvre; a predisposition which forms an essential part of his compositional aesthetic. Analyses of eight piano works (1952-2007) provide a cross-section of Rautavaara's output which, together with a consideration of biographical factors and analytical focus on the intertextual elements of his writing, offers a rationale for determining the development of his musical identity. The analyses conclude that intertextual elements, which appear through a diverse array of expressive modes (such as mysticism, nationalism and constructivism) are an essential part of Rautavaara's eclectic compositional style and contribute to an understanding of the on-going development of his musical identity.

Full textAbstract:
National Identity, Ethnic Identity, Minoritiness...These are all categories which appear to have existed always already, categories which seem to be normative by nature. They are determinative, for they position human beings on different levels of the social ladder and organize strategically human interrelations. Yet, while these same apparently transcendental categories appropriate a position of universality, they also claim to be particular to a specific place, a specific people, a specific race etc. The disjunction inherent in these categories can be realized within this ideological contradiction. It is therefore this very disjunction that calls upon the rethinking of identity in relation to nation, ethnicity and minority. In this thesis I offer a translation of nine separate excerpts from Kobayashi Aya's account on Burakumin experience in Japan. The author's contemplation on Japaneseness and Minoritiness, her questioning of national identity as a category and of this category as predetermined become the focus of my work. While outlining the structure of Kobayashi's writing and the methods she chooses to employ, I analyze the concepts of performativity, repetition and disruption as potential options for rethinking Japaneseness and Minoritiness as categories of identity.

Full textAbstract:
This master's thesis in literary creation is composed of two parts. The first one, a literary critic approaches the confrontation between memory and oblivion, in the novelistic work One hundred years of solitude from Colombian Gabriel Garcia Marquez through various themes. Primarily, we explain how this duality is seen through hereditary memories, loneliness, activity and inertia. In the next chapters, we show how this duality is also connected with death, collective and individual memories which contributes to make history and identity, with transformation of the past by careful scrutiny of the writing and sleep themes, and finally, to the memory awakened by associations coming from a sensual perception of the past, along with the significance given to objects and through the omnipresence of repetition.The second part of this master's thesis untitled Nuits blanches is composed of 6 short stories each casting a women battling her anguish and demons, and who throughout a moment, day or night, loses or thinks she's losing her reason.

Ceramics has always existed on the fringes of craft and high art. The purpose of this

object and reflecting upon it’s validity as high status art object. In this project I am also
interested in infrastructural systems within modern architecture-- plumbing, wiring, heat ducts
vents-- with a specific focus on systems lurking inside walls and how these function to influence
architectural space. With the advent of modern plumbing, concealing these elements was
adopted as the new standard and still exists today. Through the presentation of defamiliarized
handmade objects, my exhibition presents the appearance of manufactured material through the
serial manipulation of scale, surface and quantity. The result reveals a clay piece that renders the
material unrecognizable providing the viewer with a new view on the object's tradition.v, 47 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm

Slater, Jennifer. "Direct experience of God in contemporary theology." Thesis, Rhodes University, 1994. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1016265.
Full textAbstract:
'Direct experience of God' is a term frequently used by theologians without adequate clarification regarding its meaning. The understanding thereof has become increasingly complicated by the process of secularization. In the 1960's, it was repeatedly asserted that modern people could not have direct experiences of God, albeit that one could still live by faith and by commitment to the way of Jesus in a world in which, it was asserted, "God is dead". This claim, although long predominant, has been challenged by the upsurge of interest in mysticism, both Eastern and Western, and the burgeoning of Pentecostalism and the Charismatic movement, in which circles direct experience of God was frequently claimed. If direct experience of God is something natural to humanity, interpretation of it will vary in exactly the same way as interpretation of all other human experiences. This could be a possible reason for it being so very poorly integrated into everyday life, resulting in the loss of meaning and value.

Berman, Mona. "Elie Wiesel's fictional universe : the paradox of the mute narrator." Thesis, Rhodes University, 1986. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1001829.
Full textAbstract:
The approach I have chosen for my study is to analyse the narrative techniques in Wiesel's fiction, with particular emphasis on the role of the narrator and listener in the narratives. This will not only highlight aspects of his authorial strategy involving the reader's response to various dimensions of the Holocaust, but will allow an appraisal of the literary merit of Wiesel's novels. The hushed reverence that tends to accompany allusions to Auschwitz and its literature has impeded certain theoretical investigations, with the result that most critical studies undertaken on Wiesel's works have dealt predominantly with themes and content rather than with form. A narrative approach, however, while it accounts for themes, does so within the narrative process of the work. Form and content are examined as interwoven entities in the particular context of an individual work. My decision to adopt this pursuit is based on the conviction that Wiesel's fiction is a significant contribution to the literature of testimony, not only because of its subject matter, but also because of the way in which his narrators unfold their stories with words suspended by silence in the text. The paradox of the mute narrator, the title of my study, is intended to convey the paradoxical quality of Wiesel's fiction and to show how silence, which is manifested in the themes of his work, is concretized by his strategy of entrusting the transmission of the tale to narrators, who, for various reasons have been silenced. A mute by definition cannot emit an articulate sound. A narrator, on the other hand, is a storyteller who is reliant on verbal articulation for communication. This contradiction in terms is dramatized in the novels and is symptomatic of the dilemma of Wiesel's narrators who are compelled to bear testimony through their silence. In my study of Wiesel's fiction, I will follow the chronological sequence in which the novels were written, although I will not be using a developmental approach, except to point out that the trilogy which marks the beginning of his exploration into narrative strategies, and The Testament, the last book I will be dealing with, are a culmination of his previous fictional techniques. While a developmental analysis of his fiction, particularly from a thematic point of view, enables the reader to gain insight into his background, which is important in a comprehensive study of his works, I feel that this avenue of investigation has been competently dealt with by other critics. Ellen Fine's Legacy of Night, one of the first book-length studies of Wiesel, puts forward a convincing argument for examining his fiction in chronological sequence as a kind of serialized journey from being a witness in l'univers concentrationnaire to bearing - witness in a post-Holocaust world. Furthermore, it is possible to trace the direction Wiesel's fiction follows, as in each book the seeds are sown for new ideas which are expanded upon in subsequent books. My discussion, however, will deal with the narrative process of each novel as an individual work in its own particular context. Apart from the trilogy which is examined in one chapter, and The Testament which serves as a conclusion to the study, I have not used cross references to Wiesel's other fiction when analysing specific books. Moreover, I have deliberately avoided including Wiesel's comments on his works and references to them in his essays, interviews and non-fiction writing. The reason for this approach is that I consider each novel to be a separate narrative work which merits an interpretative response that is independent of the comparative criteria that has up to now influenced the assessment of his fiction.

Full textAbstract:
Odilon Redon, The Visual Poet of Edgar Allan Poe: A Study of the Lithographic Album A Edgar Poe argues that the album A Edgar Poe, published in 1882, fundamentally alters Redon's artistic career. The thesis advocates the importance of Poe's writing to Redon's development, contending that the lithographic album confirms nineteenth-century literary and artistic interest in Poe. The thesis maintains that, while Redon subsequently attempted to disassociate himself from the American writer, his art was recognized and admired for its Poe-esque visions. Chapter One examines Edgar Allan Poe's influence on the nineteenth-century French artistic and literary avant-garde. The chapter argues that the artistic and spiritual resemblance between Poe and Redon facilitates the design the lithographic album A Edgar Poe, a work Redon uses to promote his own standing as an artist. Through examination of the original plates of the lithographic album A Edgar Poe at The Art Institute of Chicago, Chapter Two illustrates Poe's centrality to the evolution of Redon's art. Chapter Three argues for the importance of A Edgar Poe in Redon's oeuvre, contending that subsequent albums and commissions show the important role of literary art in Redon's artistic growth. The chapter demonstrates the significance of Redon's work to the Symbolist avant-garde of Brussels. Utilizing Andre Mellerio's notes, essays, collected letters and writings in the Ryerson & Burnham Library at the Art Institute of Chicago, the thesis argues that the album A Edgar Poe represents a pivotal stage in Redon's career through its dedication to a literary artist and the unification of art and poetry. Contending that the album develops themes prevalent in the noirs, the thesis illustrates the artistic resemblance and relationship between Poe and Redon and emphasizes the crucial role of Poe's work in Redon's progression and acceptance as an artist.

Full textAbstract:
A presente investigação é oriunda das experiências didático-pedagógicas do autor em suas aulas de Língua Portuguesa e de Literatura Brasileira no tocante ao campo intertextual e dialógico, pois tais experiências profissionais aguçaram
o interesse ao se constatarem trechos de Escritos Sagrados em passagens do romance do escritor pernambucano Gilvan Lemos. O conhecimento da teoria bakhtiniana sobre O Discurso de Outrem também proporcionou a motivação
deste estudo. Intertextualidade e dialogicidade formam relações que se estabelecem entre algumas personagens e passagens do romance, do livro ‗O Anjo do Quarto Dia (1981), do escritor pernambucano Gilvan Lemos, como por
exemplo: Oricão, Ana, Codó, Tininha e Piranha (personagens da obra) com algumas da Bíblia Sagrada, como: Jesus Cristo, Maria Mãe de Jesus e Maria Madalena (Novo Testamento) e Jó (Velho Testamento). Neste sentido, concebe-se o romance como um evento linguístico. A proposta contempla
realizar um estudo a partir de elementos linguísticos e discursivos dos domínios literário e religioso, como as relações lexicais e sua associação com a intertextualidade, as quais foram criadas em torno dessas palavras. O cerne
desse trabalho é analisar a construção linguística em uma obra literária, os elementos religioso e literário estão presentes como suporte para o estudo linguístico. Dessa forma, entende-se que uma obra literária caracteriza-se
como um evento linguístico tanto quanto o enunciado não-literário (no sentido das ―Belas Letras‖). Far-se-á uma reflexão sobre o dialogismo bakhtiniano (1981/1997/2002/2003) para analisar passagens do livro o Anjo do Quarto Dia. Análises apontam que as relações lexicais em construção neste livro, em torno de termos chave sobre a intertextualidade, apontam para discursos distintos
sobre como são trabalhadas a intertextualidade bíblica na obra de Gilvan Lemos. A fim de aguçar o estudo sobre a intertextualidade na presente pesquisa, serão inseridas as concepções desse estudo a partir das reflexões
de Julia Kristeva (1974). Também serão fontes de apoio para esta investigação os seguintes livros da Bíblia Sagrada, Velho Testamento: Gênesis, Êxodo, Deuteronômio, 1Samuel, 1Reis, Jó, Salmos, Eclesiastes,Cânticos dos Cânticos
de Salomão,Isaías, Jeremias ,Ezequiel, Daniel, Jonas, Habacuque. Novo Testamento: Mateus, Marcos, Lucas, João, Atos, Romanos, 1 Coríntios, Gálatas, Colossenses, 1Timóteo, Hebreus, Apocalipse. Os estudos sobre a
intertextualidade de Bazerman (2007), Machado(1995), Beth Brait (1997) e Blikstein (2000) cujas tônicas é a presença efetiva de um texto em outroThe current research stems from the authors didactic pedagogic experiences and his Língua Portuguesa and Literatura Brasileira classes concerning the intertextual and dialogical field since such professional experiences have excited his interested when he noticed excerpts from the Holy Bible in passages of the Pernambucano writer Gilvan Lemos novels. The knowledge of the Backhtinian theory about spoken of others person has also proportioned the motivation to his study intertextuality and dialoguecity make up relations which establish themselves between some characters and passages in Gilvan Lemos ―O Anjo do Quarto Dia (1981)‖. Ana, Codó, Tininha, Piranha, (characters in the book) are related to some characters in the Holy Bible: Jesus Christ, Mary, mother to Jesus, and Mary Magdalene (New Testament) and Job (Old Testament). In this sense the novel is conceived as a linguistic phenomenon. The aim is to do a study from the discursive and linguistic elements of the religious and literary domains as well as the lexicon relations and their association with the intertextuality which have been created around these words. The core of this research is to analyze the linguistic construction in a literary work. The religious and literary elements are present as a support to the linguistic study. Therefore, the literary work is taken as a linguistic phenomenon as well as the non literary statement (in the sense of ―belles lettrers‖). A reflection will be made on the Backtinian (1981/1997/2002/2003) dialogism in order to analyze passages in the book ― O Anjo do Quarto Dia‖. Analysis point out that some lexicon relations being constructed in the book, around key terms on the intertextuality , point at distinct speeches about how the biblical intertextuality is worked up in Gilvan Lemos works. In order to excite the study about intertextuality in the present research, some conceptions will be inserted from Julia Kristevas reflections (1974). The following books from the Holy Bible will be sources of research: from the Old Testament: Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy, 1 Samuel, 1 Kings, Job, Psalms, Ecclesiastes, Salomons The song of songs, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Jonah, Habakkuk; from the New Testament ; Mathew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 1st Corinthians, Galatians, Colossians, 1st Timothy, Hebrews, Revelations; as well as Bazermans (2007), Machado (1995), Beth Brait (1997) and Blicksteins (2000) studies about intertextuality whose emphasis is the effective presence of a text within another text

Full textAbstract:
Black Snow, an orchestral work composed by Michael Smetanin in 1987, was named after the book Black Snow by Mikhael Bulgakov. Newspaper articles, reviews and the literature researched, all comment on Smetanin’s style and on the influences that shaped that style. The aggressive and confrontational style of much of Smetanin’s music can be attributed partly to his love of rock music and jazz and partly to his mentor in the Netherlands, Louis Andriessen. The same sources quote other composers who also influenced Smetanin’s style. Three works in particular are named, that is, Trans by Stockhausen, Keqrops by Xenakis and De Tijd by Andriessen. It was decided, in the light of previous investigations into Smetanin’s music, to take one of these composers, namely Stockhausen and his work Trans, and discover how much Smetanin was influenced by this composer and this particular work. Trans was chosen because the similarities with Black Snow are less obvious. All aspects of Black Snow were examined - namely the harmony, rhythms, the important textures, serial/mathematical techniques, orchestration, the dramatic program, how the instruments are played - and then compared with Trans for similarities and differences. The results of the analytical investigation show that, while the internal organisation of the two works is very different, there are significant similarities between the two works in most of these areas. Serial/mathematical techniques could only be demonstrated in one area, and this is only conjecture.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis the process of adaptation from novel to film is examined. La Bête humaine by Emile Zola and the film version by Jean Renoir provide specific examples. The starting point is the assumption, often made by cinema audiences, that the film should be "faithful" to the novel upon which it is based. A statement made by Renoir regarding his efforts to be true to what he describes as the "spirit of the book" is quoted to illustrate the prevalence of this attitude. Novel and film are then compared in order to test Renoir's claim to fidelity. What is revealed are the differences between the two. Through an examination of character, action, and space some of the reasons for the director's departure from the novel begin to emerge and it becomes increasingly clear that Renoir was obliged to adopt a different approach. Theme and form are then examined and the organic nature of their relationship suggested. Finally, the departure of the film from the novel is traced to the very different ways in which the two media function — linearity in the written medium as opposed to simultaneity in the cinematic medium — and the indelible nature of the association of theme and form is confirmed. In conclusion, the view that the media should and do correspond is found to be mistaken, and Renoir's statement is re-evaluated and assessed as an attempt, by a director sensitive to the public's insistence on fidelity, to disarm criticism.Arts, Faculty of

Resumo: O trabalho aqui proposto aborda as relações existentes entre o romance A Hora da Estrela, publicado em 1977, por Clarice Lispector, e o filme homônimo de Suzana Amaral, lançado em 1985. Os elementos que estruturam a literatura e o cinema são diferentes e estabelecer parâmetros de comparação fez-se necessário. Assim, as análises aqui expostas estão centradas, sobretudo, no confronto entre a caracterização proposta para Macabéa no livro e no longa metragem. Para tanto, foram utilizadas diferentes correntes teóricas, que vão da teoria da literatura aos estudos sobre cinema. As especificidades de cada texto, livro e filme, ao mesmo tempo em que facilitam a pesquisa, já que os objetos de análise têm características próprias e podem, portanto, ser analisados separadamente, enredam-nos a possibilidades antes não pensadas, pois a transposição da história de Macabéa para o cinema suprime e insere elementos que devem ser confrontados: o texto de Suzana Amaral parece dizer a mesma coisa que o de Lispector, mas com recursos e linguagens diferentes. A supressão do narrador Rodrigo S.M., tão caro ao texto de Lispector, dá ao longa metragem maior destaque à sensibilidade da protagonista que, marcante no livro, é mesclada à tentativa de S.M. em comicizar e ridicularizar a heroína com o intuito de se afirmar dentro da sociedade. Rodrigo não existe no filme, fato que faz com que o texto de Suzana ganhe significações diferentes, pois a datilógrafa passa a ser vista através do olhar das demais personagens e não mais de um narrador. Mas é através do perfil sensível que Macabéa deve ser percebida, tanto em um texto quanto em outro, pois, no romance, a protagonista se desprende de S.M. através de pequenos luxos, pequenos prazeres, que são transpostos em grande número para o texto de Amaral. A emoção sentida por Macabéa em certas passagens ganha vida com a interpretação de Marcélia Cartaxo, que com poucas falas no filme, consegue traduzir para o cinema os sentimentos e as emoções de uma heroína, aparentemente calada por ser marginal, mas que na verdade usa a parcimônia como uma arma para enfrentar o sistema
Abstract: This essay shows the relations between the novel The Hour of the Star, published in 1977, by Clarice Lispector, and the movie, with the same title, directed by Suzana Amaral and released in 1985. The elements which structure literature and cinema are different , so it was necessary to establish parameters to compare them.. This way, the analysis exposed here is centered, specially, comparing Macabea's characterization in the novel and in the movie, as well. For that, were used many theoretical thoughts, which go from literature theory to cinema studies. The particularities of the both texts, novel and movie, when analyzed separately, can make the research easier, because the objects that are analyzed have own characteristics and may be studied with their specifies. In the other hand, the translation of Macabea's story to the cinema leave out and place elements which must be studied together with the both texts: Amaral film seems to say the same thing that Lispector's novel, but with different resources. The narrator suppression , so important to the novel, gives to the movie other focus, like Macabea's sensibility, which is presented in the book, but is mixed with Rodrigo S.M. tentative to ridicule the main character , narrator who aims to confirm himself inside the society. Rodrigo doesn't exist in the movie, that's why, Suzana's text wins different meanings, after all the dactylographer can be seen by the other characters and not anymore only by the narrator eyes. But, it is through the sensitive profile that Macabea can be seen : she has little luxuries, little pleasures, which are transported to Amaral's text. The emotion expressed by Macabea in the novel is in the movie with Marcelia Cartaxo interpretation, who has few speeches in the movie, but can translate to the film Macabea's feelings and emotions, apparently quiet because she is marginal, however she uses the silence to face up the society

Esta dissertação analisa crônicas do livro Histórias sem amanhã, de Lara de Lemos, escritas nos anos de 1950, para o Jornal Correio do Povo, de Porto Alegre, e publicadas em livro em 1963. O propósito da análise é evidenciar o modo como a autora problematiza a condição feminina, expandindo a sua discussão para a condição humana, os problemas sociais e os paradoxos da vida na cidade, buscando verificar a relação entre o particular e o universal, uma vez que os textos, ao abordar questões do cotidiano, atingem uma dimensão estética que os torna universais.Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-09-30T16:54:23Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Salete Nair Carletto Cousseau.pdf: 1159734 bytes, checksum: 47d412306cb6bcc32e6a730716e90dd8 (MD5)

No romance epistolar O marido da adúltera, publicado em 1882 pelo escritor e jornalista Lúcio de Mendonça, encontram-se traços marcantes e inequívocos da estética naturalista desenvolvida, sobretudo, por Émile Zola. Neste trabalho, pretende-se verificar de que modo o idealizador da Academia Brasileira de Letras recebeu as ideias do Naturalismo e as inseriu em sua obra, verificando o processo de adaptação executado pelo autor brasileiro, que soube dialogar com a estética naturalista em voga na época, aplicando muitos de seus princípios, discordando de alguns deles. Cabe observar, igualmente, o fato de que Lúcio de Mendonça optou pelo romance epistolar, gênero pouco utilizado no Brasil do século XIX, mas fundamental para a construção desta obra. Esta pesquisa visa, portanto, analisar de que maneira o autor de O marido da adúltera utilizou-se do naturalismo francês para criar um romance epistolar brasileiro, publicado, originalmente, no periódico O Colombo, em forma de folhetim; característica, aliás, que se conserva no momento da publicação do romance em livro, em 1882
On the epistolary novel The adulterer’s husband, published in 1882 by the writer and journalist Lúcio de Mendonça, it‟s found distinctive features and unequivocal from the naturalist theory developed, especially, by Émile Zola. In the present paper, it‟s intended to verify what way the creator from the Brazilian Academy of Letters received the ideas of Naturalism and put them into his work, checking the adaptation process performed by the Brazilian author, who knew how to dialog with the naturalist aesthetics in common use that time, enforcing lots of his principles, disagreeing with some of them. It must be noted, equally, the fact that Lúcio de Mendonça chose the epistolary novel, a not very used gender in Brazil in XIX century, but something fundamental to this work to be made. Therefore, this research aims to analyze what way The adulterer’s husband’s author used the French naturalism to create the Brazilian epistolary novel, published, at first, by Colombo journal, as a soap opera; characteristics that, by the way, are preserved at the book‟s publishing moment, in 1882

Full textAbstract:
There are many factors that contributed to the proliferation of visual codes, metaphors and references to the gendered gaze in women's fiction of the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries. This thesis argues that the visual details in women's novels published between 1778 and 1815 are more significant than scholars have previously acknowledged. My analysis of the oeuvres of Jane Austen, Ann Radcliffe, Maria Edgeworth and Fanny Burney shows that visuality — the nexus between the verbal and visual communication — provided them with a language within language capable of circumventing the cultural strictures on female expression in a way that allowed for concealed resistance. It conveyed the actual ways in which women ‘should' see and appear in a society in which the reputation was image-based. My analysis journeys through physiognomic, psychological, theatrical and codified forms of visuality to highlight the multiplicity of its functions. I engage with scholarly critiques drawn from literature, art, optics, psychology, philosophy and anthropology to assert visuality's multidisciplinary influences and diplomatic potential. I show that in fiction and in actuality, women had to negotiate four scopic forces that determined their ‘looks' and manners of looking: the impartial spectator, the male gaze, the public eye and the disenfranchised female gaze. In a society dominated by ‘frustrated utterance,' penetrating gazes and the perpetual threat of misinterpretation, women novelists used references to the visible and the invisible to comment on emotions, socio-economic conditions and patriarchal abuses. This thesis thus offers new insights into verbal economy by reassessing expression and perception from an unconventional point-of-view.

Full textAbstract:
This work of historical- sociological aims to investigate, by means of collective memory and cinema, the process of formation of two distinct memories that have acquired a specific link through the process of developing the feature film Vidas Secas, 1963. First we have the formation of a cultural and political memory of film makers of the first phase of Cinema Novo ,which were greatly impacted after completion of the film , and then the memory of the former in habitants of the municipality of Minador Negrão , located inside Alagoas , who had interests in the filming process performed in the years 1962 and 1963 . It is through the union of film analysis and reconstruction of collective memory of a specific group, a reflection on the influence of visual culture was performed. Looking elucidate how and from which experiments were constructed memories of cinemanovistas , based on the concept of romantic - revolutionary brazilianness wrought by sociologist Marcelo Ridenti , and other measure to the residents of the small settlement during the drafting process of the film . Backed by the collective memory, sociology and film, it was possible to enhance the different nuances that forged some changes in the social memory of the locals when they started to have a direct contact with the crew filming. The argument that I used still moves between three different points during the purchase link text. First the importance the northeastern hinterland took in building a specific narrative that formed the genesis of the then Cinema Novo , a second point also analyzed back to the creation of the filmic plot of Nelson Pereira dos Santos from the literary work Graciliano Ramos , ending with a discussion involving the memory of old residents through interviews and reports . To this end, interviews with six residents who helped in the creation process of the film were used. Through them we tried to access the memories and events occurring during that period, characteristics of everyday filming the adaptation of the population with actors and filmmaker, scenes and places chosen for key scenes. These aspects were the subject of our study, which found in the collective memory and social interaction process initiated at the time its main empirical and analytical resource.CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior
Este trabalho de cunho histórico-sociológico se propôs a investigar, por meio da memória coletiva e do cinema, o processo de formação de duas memórias distintas que adquiriram uma específica ligação através do processo de elaboração do longa-metragem Vidas Secas de 1963. Primeiramente temos a formação de uma memória cultural e política dos cineastas da primeira fase do Cinema Novo, os quais foram extremamente impactados após a conclusão do filme, e em seguida a memória dos antigos moradores do município de Minador do Negrão, situado no interior de Alagoas, que tiveram participações no processo de filmagens realizado nos anos de 1962 e 1963. É através da união entre a análise fílmica e a reconstrução da memória coletiva de um grupo específico, que foi realizada uma reflexão acerca da influência da cultura audiovisual. Procurando elucidar como e a partir de quais experiências foram construídas as memórias dos cinemanovistas, tomando por base o conceito de brasilidade romântico-revolucionária forjado pelo sociólogo Marcelo Ridenti, e em outra medida a dos moradores do pequeno povoado durante o processo de elaboração do filme. Tendo como suporte a memória coletiva, a sociologia e o cinema, foi possível evidenciar as diferentes nuances que forjaram algumas mudanças na memória social dos moradores da região quando estes passaram a ter um contato direto com a equipe técnica de filmagens. A argumentação que utilizei transita ainda entre três pontos distintos que adquirem ligação no decorrer do texto.Primeiramente a importância que o sertão nordestino assumiu na construção de uma narrativa específica que formou a gênese do então Cinema Novo; um segundo ponto também analisado voltasse para a criação do enredo fílmico de Nelson Pereira dos Santos a partir da obra literária de Graciliano Ramos, finalizando com uma discussão envolvendo a memória dos antigos moradores por meio de entrevistas e relatos. Para tanto, foram utilizadas entrevistas feitas com seis moradores que ajudaram no processo de criação do filme.Através delas buscou-se acessar as lembranças e fatos ocorridos naquele período, características do cotidiano das filmagens, a adaptação da população com atores e cineasta, bastidores e locais escolhidos para as cenas principais. Estes aspectos foram alvo de nosso trabalho, que encontrou na memória coletiva e no processo de interação social desencadeado na época seu principal recurso empírico e analítico.

Resumo: O presente trabalho busca apresentar a obra de André Schwarz-Bart, o Último dos Justos, publicado em 1959, e as formas como a memória e a violência nela se inscrevem. Começamos por analisar quais são as formas de violência que o romance contempla, todas elas ligadas à história das comunidades judaicas da Europa e as perseguições por elas sofridas nos séculos que o romance pretende abordar. Além das perseguições, expulsões e massacres, outras formas de violência são abordadas, como as relações de trabalho. Também foram analisadas as formas como o romance constrói seus cenários e personagens e como eles se ligam à lenda dos Lamed-vav e à história dos judeus europeus desde a Idade Média até a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Os problemas da recepção do romance que se ligam ao período histórico conturbado pelo qual a França passava na década de 1950 também foram abordados, uma vez que, tanto o livro quanto seu autor estiveram no meio de acusações de plágio, falsificação histórica e desconhecimento do judaísmo ao mesmo tempo em que foi acolhido como um dos maiores romances franceses do século. Procuramos também demonstrar a atualidade do romance tendo em vista seu caráter universal que extrapola a questão judaica e da Shoah
Abstract: The present study aims to present the work of André Schwarz-Bart, Le dernier des Justes , published in 1959 , and the forms such as memory and violence appear in the novel. We start by analyzing what are the forms of violence included in the novel, all of them connected to the history of Jewish communities in Europe and the persecutions they suffered centuries. Beyond the persecutions, expulsions and massacres, other forms of violence are researched, such as labor relations. The ways in which the novel builds the sets and characters and how they relate to the legend of the Lamed-vav and the history of European Jews from the Middle Ages to World War II were also studied. The problems concerning the reception of the novel related to the troubled historical period by which France passed in the 1950s were also problematized, since, both, the book and the author were in the middle of accusations of plagiarism, falsification and historical ignorance of Judaism at the same time it was recognized as one of the greatest French novels of the century. Also sought to demonstrate the relevance of the novel given its universal character that goes beyond the Jewish and Holocaust issue

Full textAbstract:
This exegetical critique makes a conceptual summation of Ronald Stevenson’s life’s work for the piano and his contributions as a composer‐pianist. Chapters one and two provide a profile of Stevenson as a pianist, examining the aesthetic and musical concerns that defined his long career, as well as precedents and antecedents of his pianism. Of particular interest are the ways that Stevenson coalesces aspects of the ‘grand manner’ and his obsession with a pianistic bel canto style. Chapter three examines Stevenson’s remarkable output in terms of piano transcriptions. His conceptualization of this as ‘capturing the essence’ of the original composer is used to mount a defense of this erstwhile unfashionable genre, examining the ways that Stevenson’s output blurs the line between transcription and composition. Chapter four offers a detailed examination of the art of pedalling in Stevenson’s own work, particularly the use of the sostenuto pedal, and the ways that he exploited more complex forms of combination pedalling in his compositions and transcriptions.
Chapter five examines the ways that Stevenson’s works abound with socio‐political referencing and historical allusions, with particular attention to the Passacaglia on DSCH—a work that constituted such a political provocative act that it resulted in a police raid. Chapter six further interrogates aspects of the Passacaglia, its embodiment of the miniature and the monumental, and the ways that it personifies the culmination and summation of Stevenson as both a pianist and composer.

Full textAbstract:
In the early 1890s, Ingeborg von Bronsart (1840-1913) was hailed by the German
musical press as the "first lady" of the German stage. Her first two extant dramatic works
—Jery und Bately (Singspiel, 1873) and Hiarne (grosse Oper, 1891) — had captivated
audiences and were met with enthusiasm from critics. By 1904, Arthur Elson noted that
Bronsart was "one of the few really great women composers." Yet by the time her last
opera, Die Siihne, premiered in 1909, the magic had faded. Critics rejected the work as
unimaginative, while audiences stayed away. Bronsart and her works quickly disappeared
from the repertoire and from history.
Employing manuscript and contemporary published sources, Chapter One examines
Bronsart's life and the rich artistic circles in which she lived and worked. Chapters Two,
Three and Four are devoted to each of Bronsart's three extant operas. The individual works
are considered with respect to their genesis as well as to more general matters of plot and
dramatic structure. Because little is known about Bronsart's music, in order to obtain a
better understanding of her style a substantial portion of my discussion concentrates on the
musical analysis and dramatic interpretation of each opera. Focusing on the specific
numbers and scenes that I consider to be of significant interest, I examine the vocal writing,
harmonic language, formal structures, unity and continuity. The thesis concludes with an
exploration of broader historiographical issues of reception, gender, genre and aesthetic
value, laying the foundation for a renewed interest in this unique composer and her works.

Full textAbstract:
Il presente lavoro si propane di portare un contributo critico
all'opera della Colombi, delineandone quegli aspetti salienti che
caratterizzano la sua partecipazione alla scena letteraria come donna e
come professionista.
Le sue scelte poetiche, basate sull'ideale di un'intima,
inscindibile unita donna-parola-lingua e sull'armoniosa corrispondenza
vita-arte, contribuiscono ad acuire il confl itto con il repressivo e
misogino ambiente ottocentesco. Si crea una continua tensione tra la
tendenza all'adeguamento impasto dalla priorita di difendere la propria
presenza e l'altrettanto forte spinta alla trasgressione come necessita
di salvaguardare la coerenza a se stessa. L'ambivalenza vissuta verso
il padre, depositario dell 'ordine sociale, si riflette, coerentemente con
le premesse poetiche, nelle polemiche condotte nei confronti dei padri
della letteratura. Se queste ultime tendono a rimanere contenute a
livello metatestuale, in genera le, il genuino ed autentico messaggio
letterario viene soprattutto espresso attraverso il gusto antifrastico
dell'ironia ea livello metaforico e simbolico.
La messa in luce della repressione e della morte dei valori
femminili, la creativita intellettuale e fisica, che costituiscono la
vera essenza dell'individuo e della stessa esistenza umana, va di pari
passo con la maturazione di un sofferto compromesso con le dure leggi
imposte dalla vita. Dalla crudelta di lavori alienanti alla brutale
caduta degli ideali e dell'amore, si raggiunge, con le opere maggiori,
un rinnovato equilibrio vita-arte che, nella sublimazione delle
esperienze di morte, eleva l'espressione artistica a piano ultimo di
salvezza e di realizzazione individuale. Nell'affermazione di un'arte firmata al femminile e posta al servizio della giustizia e della verita,
si consuma cosi la disobbedienza nei confronti di ogni forma arbitraria
di potere. Connotato al maschile, esso viene evidenziato nei suoi
effetti deleteri ed alienanti anche nella connivenza e mancanza di una
reale autenticita delle stesse donne, in particolare le madri.
Dall'analisi dell'opera della Colombi emerge l'immagine di una
scrittrice che si distingue non solo per la sua originalita e
complessita, ma anche per l'indubbia modernita sia di stile che di
problematicheThe aim of the present study is to offer a critical contribution on the writings of the Marchesa Colombi by tracing and developing those aspects of her work which best characterise her personality as a woman and as a writer. Her poetical choices, based on the ideal of an intimate, indivisible unity of woman-word-language and on the harmonious correlation between life and art, focus sharply on her conflict with the repressive and misogynist ambience of nineteenth-century Italy. Her works reveal a constant tension between the need to adapt in order to defend her own presence (as a writer) and the urge to transgress as a means to safeguard her inner, personal coherence. The author's ambivalence towards the father, depositary of the social order, is further reflected, in keeping with her poetical vision, in the polemical debates held with the fathers of Italian literature. Whereas these debates remain embedded within a metatextual discourse, the genuine and authentic message of her works is generally expressed on the metaphorical and symbolic levels and by an extensive antiphrastic use of irony. The need to stress the repression and death of feminine values, the intellectual and physical creativity which constitute the true essence of the individual, goes hand in hand with the artist's achievement of maturity as a painful compromise with the hard rules imposed by life. From the cruelty of a alienating labour to the brutal collapse of her ideals and of love, Colombi is able to achieve in her major works a new form of balance between life and art which, by sublimating the experience of death, elevates the artistic expression to the heights of personal salvation and of self-realization. By affirming her art as a product of the feminine mind at the service of justice and truth, she plays out her disobedience against all arbitrary forms of power. This study of the works of the Marchesa Colombi reveals the image of a writer who distinguishes herself not only for her originality and complexity but also for the marked modernity both in her style and in her choice of subject

Full textAbstract:
This research examines the significance of water as it has been used as a subject in the visual arts, with particular concentration on the use of geometry as a means of accessing pictorial possibilities. The study focuses specifically on selected paintings by Joseph Mallord William Turner (1775-1851), Oscar Claude Monet (1840-1926) and Pat Steir (1940-) including some of Steir's etchings, to further demonstrate her thought processes and techniques. It is argued that the paintings of all three artists, although widely divergent yet include threads of commonality and convergence. All explore the fundamental structure of nature (in this case water) through geometry. In addition, spatial concepts through the use of light and colour are closely intertwined and give rise to metaphysical implications. Turner and Monet broke the bonds of the existing academic composition and style of painting. Their paintings pointed the way for artists of the twentieth century, like Steir to further explore the close relationship between the motif and abstract painting. References to
paintings, other than the selected paintings, by these artists will be made in order to illustrate their different approaches yet similar objectives. Finally the relevance of the study to the candidate's own work will be correlated. The dissertation intends to offer a new interpretation of water as a subject in painting, by illuminating and illustrating aspects of the selected paintings by Turner, Monet and Steir. In conclusion, it is anticipated that this discourse will enrich and complement previous interpretations of water, when used as a subject in visual art. It is also envisaged that the study will suggest further research on the subject.Thesis (M.A.)-University of Kwazulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2004.

Full textAbstract:
As the most important city in the Far East after the Opium War in terms of physical capital and western civilization importation, Shanghai, with an unprecedented openness, created a hybrid environment of domestic and foreign immigrants. Furthermore, its location advantage at the meeting point of the South-North major transportation routes and within the most economically developed regions of Jiangsu and Zhejiang produced an unparalleled social tolerance and cultural context, thus providing new room for revival and innovation of then declining figure paintings.As the most popular Shanghai-based artist in the 20th century, Ren Bonian's life spanned Late Qing's most critical 50 years that were full of external challenges. Under then Shanghai's complex historical and cultural background, his figure paintings, especially women story paintings, demonstrated the significance of multi-referential. His women paintings were so welcomed also have other reasons: such as the influences from other Shanghai artists of women paintings; his reference to and evolution of classical image in his paintings; his absorption and creation of folk image; and his understanding and interpretation of Japanese image. Ren Bonian's rewriting and re-reading of women's images in his diversified women paintings showed the abundance of women-related topics in late Qing.
This thesis is to show that a unique path of women paintings in the development of figure paintings can be reflected in the work of Ren Bonian, the most creative figure-painting artist in 19th century. Moreover, via the artist himself and the vertical and horizontal axis constructed from his figure paintings, I investigate the reference to and digging of women paintings, the supply of the most active nutrient for innovations by figure paintings of women-related topics to Shanghai arts, and the borrowing and conversion of women image, consumption representation and visual desire in the diversified old and new, Chinese and foreign culture. I hope this thesis can fill the gap of study on Women paintings in Ren Bonian's figure paintings, and playa role in the promotion of research on Qing's women paintings.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the written, visual and material records produced by two late nineteenth-century German traveller-naturalists in Oceania, Adolf Bernhard Meyer (1840-1911) and Otto Finsch (1839-1917). I probe these records for traces of Indigenous agency and discuss the impacts of their authors' personal encounters with actual Oceanian people on their understandings of human difference, locating this discussion within the context of racial science in late nineteenth-century Europe and the complex relationship between field experience and metropolitan publication and reception. By identifying countersigns of Indigenous agency embedded in Meyer's and Finsch' s representations of their experiences in Oceania, I trace the ways in which these experiences informed their contributions to broader debates in the European metropoles: the unity or plurality of the human species, the breadth of variation within supposedly homogeneous 'races' and the extent of overlap between them, the importance of field experience in the human sciences, the standardisation and mobilisation of travellers' observations for metropolitan audiences, and the relative worth of physical, cultural and linguistic data for taxonomic purposes.
I interrogate the processes by which racial knowledge about Oceania's inhabitants was produced from the 'raw material' of encounters, the various forms in which this knowledge was embodied - scientific monographs and journal articles, public lectures, sketches, photographs, plaster casts (moulages) of human faces, collections of cranial and skeletal materials -and the extent to which field experience was permitted to confront or contradict metropolitan theories of race. I show that Meyer and Finsch experienced profound transformations in their beliefs about human difference, with respect both to manners and customs and to physical features, as a result of their encounters with actual people in Oceania.
I conclude, however, that their ability to communicate these changes to influential colleagues in the metropole was limited by a rigid professional vocabulary, essentialist tools and technologies, and an epistemologically and ideologically unreceptive audience.

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation is based on Hardy's representation of Victorian working-class women's experience, exemplified by the heroine of Tess of the D'Urbervilles (1891), in the radically gendered nineteenth-century society. Physical mobility as metaphor and metonymy in the novel stands for the transgression and subversion of patriarchal influence and is revealed as having a complex significance in relation to gender distinction. Hardy subverts Victorian norms of femininity through Tess's movements from one physical space to another in her struggle for freedom and autonomy. However, Hardy's inability to transcend completely the conventions of his society is apparent in the way Tess is literally destroyed in her quest for autonomy, respect and contentment. A study of the novel reveals Tess as a victim of the wearing and destructive impact of social and economic realities that Hardy does not adequately questioned. Finally, the novel follows the conventional realist pattern where the transgressive heroine is punished in the end.English Studies
