Full textAbstract:
The first part of this master's thesis in French Literature is as a short story collection. Inspired by people's social and family situations, these short stories try to render the conflict that structures these situations and gives life to characters. In general, this conflict always takes place between real and imaginary worlds.The second part of this thesis is an analysis of two Stefan Zweig short stories. In my analysis, I try to determine at which moment a character passes from being simply a character on paper to a "living" character. Thereby, I hope to disprove Florence Goyet's theory that a short story character is merely subjugated to a structure. I use the theory of reception, as Vincent Jouve used it to study novels.

Berry, Robert James. "Conrad and Dostoevsky : an unsuspected brotherhood." Thesis, University of Stirling, 1993. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/2015.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts a comparative study of Conrad and Dostoevsky. In doing so, it proposes a significant relationship between the ideological, political and literary worlds of both authors. The work is undertaken in eight chapters. Chapter One explores Conrad and Dostoevsky's respective national and cultural identities. It reflects on Conrad's recorded reactions to Dostoevsky and his work, and speculates on the latter's likely response to Conrad. Chapter Two challenges established critical formulae that suggest Dostoevsky is a purely 'Dionysian' writer. The view that Conrad is a consummate 'Apollonian' artist is similarly brought into question. Chapter Three considers Conrad and Dostoevsky as major literary innovators. To support my argument, Bakhtin's critical concepts of 'polyphony' and 'monology' are introduced, and applied in a Dostoevskyan and Conradian context. Especially highlighted is my debate on Conrad's 'polyphonic' narrative technique in Lord Jim (1900). The notable fusion of disparate literary genres in Conrad and Dostoevsky's novels is explored in Chapter Four. Elements of 'adventure', 'thriller', 'romance', and 'detective' fiction are identified in each novelist's world. My argument, however, restricts itself to an extensive analysis of the surprising importance of the 'Gothic' elements in both writers' worlds. Chapters Five and Six, concentrate on Conrad and Dostoevsky's profound insights into the fundamental character of the human personality. Chapter Five considers their parallel interpretations of mankind's quintessentially materialist nature. Chapter Six looks at their strikingly similar visions of man's violent and carnal identity, and his primary urge to dominate other weaker individuals. Chapters Seven and Eight consider two central themes in Conrad and Dostoevsky's fiction, that of anarchist politics and nihilism respectively. Their political and ideological responses to these issues are investigated in some detail, and significant interpretive parallels established. Finally, the conclusion undertakes to once again assure the reader of the surprising and unsuspected bonds that exist between these two seemingly alien writers.

Full textAbstract:
The present thesis studies the concepts of mestizaje and Mexican identity in five essays and two short stories: La raza cosmica and Indologia, by Jose Vasconcelos; El perfil del hombre y la cultura en Mexico, by Samuel Ramos; El laberinto de la soledad and Posdata, by Octavio Paz; and finally the short stories "Chac Mool" and "Por boca de los dioses", by Carlos Fuentes. The thesis shows how the confrontation between the European and the Pre-Columbian cultures, still very much a part of the Mexican reality, affects the intellectual efforts by which those authors try to grasp the problematic of mestizaje and Mexican cultural identity. The perspectives of those four authors, from the racial and optimistic vision of Vasconcelos to the psychoanalytical and rather bleaker approach of Paz, are unable to give an objective account of mestizaje and Mexican identity, precisely because of the confrontation, never settled, between the two cultural universes.

The work here presented aims to examine, from the psychoanalytic theory of Freudian and Jungian tradition, as well as from the theoretical postulates over the representation of modernity via the Literary Arts, in Latuf Isaias Mucci, Renato Cordeiro Gomes and Walter Benjamin, against the modern ambience brought by the years of the Belle Époque Rio de Janeiro‟s native folk, as well as ascertain the manifestation of perverse types and standards via the modern subject, through the bias of the literary discourse announced by João do Rio in his work Within the night. The goal is to properly apply the theoretical-critical fortune rescued in the study of the tales present in João do Rio‟s collectanea, in order to prove the existence of a phenomenology of perversion within his literary types.
O trabalho que aqui se apresenta tem por objetivo analisar, a partir da teoria psicanalítica de tradição freudiana e jungiana, bem como dos postulados teóricos a respeito da representação da modernidade pela Literatura, de Latuf Isaias Mucci, Renato Cordeiro Gomes e Walter Benjamin, diante do clima de modernidade instaurado pelos anos da Belle Époque de manifestação carioca, bem como averiguar a manifestação de tipos e padrões perversos através do sujeito moderno, pelo viés do discurso literário de João do Rio em sua obra Dentro da noite. A meta é aplicar adequadamente a fortuna teórico-crítica resgatada no estudo dos contos presentes na coletânea de João do Rio, a fim de que se comprove a existência de uma fenomenologia da perversão dentro de seus tipos literários.

Pea, John B. "Black Elk, Neihardt, and the defeated hero." Virtual Press, 1991. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/834124.
Full textAbstract:
I am attempting to honestly share Black Elk's vision and story, John G. Neihardt modifies that story in order to embody Black Elk as the classical defeated hero. In transfiguring Black Elk into this image, Neihardt could not avoid the cultural "cues" which forced him to model Black Elk in the conventional image of the defeated hero as described in Bruce Rosenberg's Custer and the Epic of Defeat. By modifying the beginning and ending to Black Elk's story, Neihardt prepares and reinforces the reader's expectations of Black Elk's image as the classical defeated hero. Also, because Neihardt understands the central theme of Black Elk Speaks to be that of Black Elk's failure, it provides him with the incentive to modify Black Elk's vision to depict Black Elk as a classical hero. Finally, Neihardt transfigures Black Elk in order to reflect the contradictory paradigm of the Greek, Ranan, and Christian defeated hero.Department of English

This thesis looks at paratopia of stigma and black identity in the literary discourse Recordações do Escrivão Isaías Caminha written by Lima Barreto in Brazil in 1909. Our research is based on French Discourse Analysis and predominantly on the theoretical-methodological assumptions of Dominique Maingueneau (1997;2015) about the constitutional literary discourse and literary paratopia. The main concern of this research is how the identity of the black Brazilian, an identity built under a violent system of social, economic and historical exploitation, behaves in the literary discourse Recordações do Escrivão Isaías Caminha? Our research hypothesis is that paratopia engender through stigma, a concept developed by Goffman (2012) to remodel the black identity through a historical reassessment and thus, promoting the effect of giving an account of oneself, a concept developed by Butler (2017). Our main goal is to study paratopia and use it to evaluate the construction of a black identity shaped early in the 20th century so as to become stigmatized. Our specific objective is to verify the scenographic organization and the constitution of the discursive ethos in the composition of literary paratopia in Recordações do Escrivão Isaías Caminha. Our thesis innovate when evaluating a corpus that is usually analyzed in Literature. Furthermore, it broadens the paratopia category by proposing the paratopia of stigma and associating it to ethnic-racial issues
Esta tese examina a paratopia do estigma e a identidade do negro no discurso literário Recordações do Escrivão Isaías Caminha, de Lima Barreto, produzido em 1909, no Brasil. Nossa pesquisa está fundamentada na Análise do Discurso de inspiração francesa, sobretudo, nos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos de Dominique Maingueneau (1997;2015) sobre o discurso constituinte literário e a paratopia literária. A questão central que essa pesquisa busca resolver é: como a identidade do negro brasileiro, construída sob um violento esquema de exploração social, econômico e histórico se comporta na construção do discurso literário Recordações do Escrivão Isaías Caminha? Como hipótese de pesquisa, entendemos que a paratopia se engendra por meio do estigma, noção apresentada por Goffman (2012), para remodelar a identidade do negro por meio de uma revisão histórica, promovendo, deste modo, o efeito de relato de si, noção apresentada por Butler (2017). Nosso objetivo geral é o de examinar a paratopia e por meio disso a avaliar a construção da identidade do negro que, no início do século XX, foi modelada de maneira a se tornar estigmatizada. Como objetivo específico queremos verificar a organização da cenografia e a constituição do ethos discursivo na composição da paratopia literária em Recordações do escrivão Isaías Caminha. Nossa tese inova ao avaliar um corpus tradicionalmente analisado pela Literatura. Além disso, busca ampliar a categoria de paratopia, pela proposição da paratopia do estigma, associando-a às questões étnico-raciais

Bowen, Nellie. "Stylistic principles in three chamber works by Bela Bartok with particular reference to the role of the piano." Thesis, 1990. http://hdl.handle.net/10413/8917.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis discusses the following three works composed by Bartok
between 1922 and 1938 : Sonata no. 2 for Violin and Piano,
Rhapsody no. 1 for Violin and Piano and "Contrasts" for Violin,
Clarinet and Piano.
Details relating to Bartok's compositional style in the three
chamber works are investigated, with particular reference to the
role of the piano. The piano writing is not innovative, but the
traditional boundaries are extended by means of the melodic
idiom, harmonies and rhythms. The thesis considers traceable
musical influences viz. folk music and the influence of other
composers; form and the tonal-contrapuntal fabric, rhythm and
meter, and performance considerations. The value of Bartok's own
recordings is addressed with regard to a critical evaluation of
Bartok's own interpretation, the importance of the precisely
notated scores, the controversial Bartok tempi, the application
of rubato and broken chord figurations and Bartok's views on
pedalling, articulation and ornamentation. Examples of all the
above-mentioned aspects are traced in the three works concerned,
and the pianistic style and dynamics and the interaction between
the piano and the other instruments are discussed.
The three works are compared and Bartok's development as composer
of chamber music is traced through this comparison.
The existence of Bartok's own interpretation of the Sonata,
Rhapsody and "Contrasts", is of particular value to the study and
serves as a main point of reference regarding the performance
aspect. Using these recordings as a basis, the thesis considers
the works from a pianist's point of view and insights are offered
into possible problematic areas in performance, in relation to
the piano part as well as the ensemble. The knowledge acquired
through the preceding analysis of the works assists in a better
understanding of the works and ensures an ultimately more
successful performance.Thesis (M.Mus.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1990.

Keefer, James Robinson. "Dynasties of demons : cannibalism from Lu Xun to Yu Hua." Thesis, 2002. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/13094.
Full textAbstract:
Dynasties of Demons: Cannibalism from Lu Xun to Yu Hua focuses on the issue of
representations of the body in modern Chinese fiction. My interest concerns the relationship, or
correspondence between "textual" bodies and the physical "realities" they are meant to represent,
particularly where those representations involve the body as a discursive site for the intersection
of state ideology and the individual. The relationship between the body and the state has been a
question of profound significance for modern Chinese literati dating back to the late Qing, but it
was Lu Xun who, with the publication of his short story "Kuangren riji" (Diary of a
Madman), in 1918, initiated the literaty discourse on China's "apparent penchant for
cannibalizing its own people.
In the first chapter of my dissertation I discuss L u Xun's fiction by exploring two distinct,
though not mutually exclusive issues: (1) his diagnosis of China's debilitating "spiritual illness,"
which he characterized as being cannibalistic; (2) his highly inventive, counter-intuitive narrative
strategy for critiquing traditional Chinese culture without contributing to or stimulating his
reader's prurient interests in violent spectacle. To my knowledge I am the first critic of modern
Chinese literature to write about Lu Xun's erasure of the spectacle body.
In Chapters II, III and IV, I discuss the writers Han Shaogong, Mo Yan, and Yu Hua,
respectively, to illustrate that sixty years after Lu Xun's madman first "wrote" the prophetic
words, chi ren A (eat people), a number of post-Mao writers took up their pens to announce
that the human feast did not end with Confucianism; on the contrary, with the advent of Maoism
the feasting began in earnest.
Each of these post-Mao writers approaches the issue of China's "spiritual dysfunction"
from quite different perspectives, which I have characterized in the following way: Han
Shaogong (Atavism); Mo Yan (Ambivalent-Nostalgia); and Yu Hua (Deconstruction). As
becomes evident through my analysis of selected texts, despite their very significant differences
(personal, geographic, stylistic) all three writers come to oddly similar conclusions that are, in
and of themselves, not dissimilar to the conclusion arrived at by Lu Xun's madman.

Full textAbstract:
Bart6k's own expanded tonal ("supradiatonic") pronouncements reveal that his music,
notwithstanding tonally camouflaging surface details, clearly had a tonal foundation
which in many respects is a reaction to the emerging atonalism of Schonberg.
Analysis of three piano works (1908 - 1916) reveal that Bart6k's tonal language
embraced intuitively the expanded tonal idiom. The harmonic resources Bart6k
employed to obscure tonicisation embrace double-degree constructions, quartal
formations, chords of addition and omission and other irregular constructions.
Diatonic tonal pillars are evident in pedal points, tonic triads and dominant to tonic
root movement. Through an application of the Riemann function theory expanded by
Hartmann's supposition of fully-chromaticised scales tonal syntax (especially secondphase
Strauss cadences or closes) becomes apparent within an expanded tonal product.
The analyses conclude that Bart6k's inimitable "sound-world" is a twentieth-century
manifestation of traditional tonality's primary tenets.Musicology

Dostoevsky, in the Soviet Union; and to investigate the reflection of political and ideological agenda in Soviet literary criticism's interpretations of Dostoevsky's novel, The Devils during the era of glasnost, 1985-1991. I shall isolate, identify and describe the principal, ideological trends reflected in literary critiques and analyses of this novel, published in the Soviet Union during this specific period of time. My thesis will build on and develop previous research conducted around the analysis of Ideological trends in the Soviet Union through a study of literature and official literary criticism. Western commentators, such as B J.Simmons,V. Seduro, and H. Mondry have demonstrated the correlation between. general shifts in Party domestic and international policy and the ideological viewpoints expressed in literature and literary criticism. They have found it to be a valid practice to analyse certain political, social and ideological factors in the Soviet Union through a close study of literature and literary criticism. In continuing this research, I shall demonstrate that Soviet literary criticism during glasnost could still be regarded as a mirror of political and ideological changes in society, and that Soviet criticism's interpretations of Dostoevsky's The Devils could once again be used to help distinguish, delineate and clarify the ideological trends that existed in Soviet Society during this era. I shall begin my analysis with a consideration of the effects of Gorbachev's glasnost reforms on Soviet culture in general, and on literary cd]~'cal practice in particular; and of the role that literary criticism played in Soviet society during this area. I shall then proceed to a brief historical overview of interpretations of The Devils by Russian and Soviet literary critics, from its publication until the eve of the glasnost reforms, This will demonstrate both the manner in which literary criticism has mirrored Ideological trends in the USSR, and the validity of centring my research on this novel. From there, I shall turn to an examination of how interpretations Offered by Soviet literary critics of The Devils, as well as attitudes expressed by them regarding the writer's world outlook, reflected the ideological trends that existed In Soviet society during glasnost. The interpretations to be analysed will be taken from a broad range of Soviet literary periodicals, mono graphs, and discussions, published in the Soviet Union between 1985 and 1992
