Vachon, Jean-Olivier. "L'artiste-passeur chez J. A. Loranger et G. Roy, et, La grange traversee." Thesis, McGill University, 2001. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=32949.
Full textAbstract:
A thematic and formal analysis of Jean-Aubert Loranger's poetic tale "Le Passeur" [1920], and of Gabrielle Roy's novel La Montagne secrete [1962], shows that the construction of the two heroes' respective identity is directly related to the representation of small and large rivers in the two stories. Considering the generic difference between the two texts, these similarities---which are shaped up in a four steps "organizing scheme"---suggest the existence of a real structure in the construction of the modern identity (quebecoise). La Grande traversee, an historical novel about the massive Irish emigration of 1847, narrates the quest of identity of Seamus Doyle, while following the same four steps of this particular movement.

Full textAbstract:
The subject matter of this thesis is concerned with a series of novels written by Michel Tremblay referred to as "Les Chroniques du Plateau Mont-Royal"; and more specifically, it is limited to the first four in the series. In these, Tremblay deals with the phenomena of human nature as it unfolds between birth and death. The gradual emergence of the wholeness and uniqueness of the individual during this process is a major theme developed sequentially in these four novels. This has been clearly demonstrated and critically evaluated in this thesis both somatically by using Ovid's Theory of Metamorphosis and psychologically by using Jung's Theory of Individuation. It has been concluded as a result of such analyses; firstly, that the unfolding process of human nature is a central theme, and secondly, these four novels are importantly interrelated in the development of this theme.

Scherf, Kathleen Dorothy. "The collected poetry of Malcolm Lowry : a critical edition with a commentary." Thesis, University of British Columbia, 1988. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/29384.
Full textAbstract:
Although his literary reputation rests primarily on his novels, Malcolm Lowry (1909-1957) considered himself a poet, and he composed an extensive poetic canon. No reliable edition of Lowry's poetry exists; increasing critical interest in all aspects of Lowry's life and work prompted the preparation of this complete edition of his poetry, in which the poems are located, identified, dated, arranged, collated, annotated, and explicated in biographical, critical, and textual introductions. The sections of Lowry's text are chronologically arranged to reflect his artistic development, and are preceded by short essays describing the specific issues raised by those poems. The opening section—Lowry's poetic juvenilia—reflects his fascination for the sea, as does the ensuing section, The Lighthouse Invites the Storm, his first collection of poetry, a sequence of related semi-autobiographical poems, which depicts the adventures of the characters Peter Gaunt and Vigil Forget. Lowry composed most of the Lighthouse in Mexico; following it in this edition is a small group of uncollected Mexican poems. The next two sections of text—"Dollarton 1940-54: Selected Poems 1947" and "Dollarton 1940-54: Uncollected Poems"—reflect and record the experience of Lowry's sojourn on the lower mainland, and its deep effect on him. A remarkably coherent group of love poems written between 1949 and Lowry's death in 1957 follows the Dollarton texts, and the appendices contain sections of song lyrics and undated fragments. This edition provides Lowryans with ready access to the latest determinable authorial versions of, and the textual histories for, the canon's four hundred and sixty-five poems, which range in date from 1925 to 1957.Arts, Faculty of

Fortier, Dominique 1972. "L'écriture comme paradoxe : étude de l'oeuvre de Gabrielle Roy." Thesis, McGill University, 2002. http://digitool.Library.McGill.CA:80/R/?func=dbin-jump-full&object_id=82873.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the works of Gabrielle Roy in an attempt to bring to light both the continuity and the evolution that characterize the novelist's writing. To do so, her works have been divided into four groupings. The first, composed of Bonheur d'occasion, La Petite Poule d'Eau and Alexandre Chenevert, identifies the poles of a paradox around which all of Roy's subsequent novels are articulated: disenchanted realism and idyllic chronicle are bridged, in an ironic mode, through the story of the Montreal bank teller.The second grouping, also governed by this principle of alternation whereby each book seems to be the contrary of the one that precedes it, examines works of autobiographical inspiration (Rue Deschambault and La Route d'Altamont) and allegorical, almost didactic narratives (La Montagne secrete, La Riviere sans repos).
The novels that form the third grouping no longer oppose each other but rather bear the signs of a reconciliation that will only be realised fully in Roy's autobiography, La Detresse et l'Enchantement. Cet ete qui chantait, Un jardin au bout du monde, Ces enfants de ma vie and De quoi t'ennuies-tu, Eveline? combine work of autobiographical inspiration and third-person narratives, eliminating the barriers between the realistic, ironic and idyllic universes.
To each distinct form chosen by the author correpond a particular voice and a specific style of writing, which, although differing from book to book, nonetheless share common elements: doubt and hesitation, oppositions, questionings and interrogations. These are indicative of a new paradox, lodged in the writing itself, and which reveals itself through the co-presence of opposing perspectives. The different voices and the points of views they express reappear in La Detresse et l'Enchantement and Le temps qui m'a manque, which make up the fourth and final grouping. In her autobiography, Roy integrates these voices in order not to merge them into one, but to allow them to express themselves in a first-person plural narrative.

Simpson, Beverly Hurley. "Discovering the heart's truth : female initiation in the novels of Eudora Welty." Virtual Press, 1988. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/546128.
Full textAbstract:
The female characters in four of Eudora Welty's five novels, The Robber Bridegroom (1942), Delta Wedding (1946), Losing Battles (1970), and The Optimist's Daughter (1972), undergo initiation experiences which are significant elements in the content and structure of the novels. Only in The Ponder, Heart (1954) is female initiation notably missing. This study identifies and interprets the patterns of female initiation in these novels, showing Welty's refining of her understanding and presentation of female initiation. While Welty embraces certain traditional elements of initiation, which this study identifies in anthropological, mythological, and psychological studies--the loss of innocence (discovery of evil), crisis and confrontation, the gaining of wisdom however painful, becoming an outcast, yet reuniting with the community--she also adds her own elements regarding female initiation-an underlying tension between males and females or between females and a shadowing of the Demeter/Persephone (Kore) myth. In addition, her female initiates lack the mentor traditionally found in male initiation. Also reflected in Welty's fiction is the separation involved in female initiation in primitive cultures, mythology, and psychology. Not all of Welty's female characters in these novels undergo initiation; someremain static and unchanging, while others are at the threshold, eagerly waiting to cross over. While Welty's initiates make the dark journey alone to gain knowledge of themselves and the world however painful, their initiation does not signify the end of their growth.Department of English

Full textAbstract:
xiv, 141 p. : ill. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number.Twentieth-century British figurative painter Francis Bacon (1909-1992) is perhaps best known for his near-obsessive series of papal paintings inspired by Diego Velazquez' renowned portrait Pope Innocent X (1650) and created over the course of Bacon's entire artistic career. The artist's working process plays a crucial role in understanding this celebrated and varied series. Bacon deliberately avoided Velazquez' "original" portrait, preferring instead to work with photographic reproductions of the piece alongside a large collection of seemingly disparate visual material in his chaotic studio at 7 Reece Mews (South Kensington, London, England). This thesis proposes that Bacon explored issues of mechanization, fragmentation, and repetition through these visual juxtapositions in order to offer a critique of artistic and religious institutions.

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.

Full textAbstract:
近年來，民國女作家蕭紅的形象在學界一直有被標籤化的趨勢，無外不出「女性主義作家」、「抗戰作家」等名號，在很大程度上束縛了蕭紅的形象，妨礙了在蕭紅身上挖掘其它特質的可能。面對這一現象，本文試圖突破以往常規視野下塑造蕭紅形象局限於傳統純文字文本，囿於「還原」作家真實面貌的做法，力圖展示出多面、立體、作者主觀化的蕭紅形象。從形象塑造者主觀的創作中提取信息以分類歸納，同時力圖構建出新的、隸屬研究者本身的思維方式。本文將純文字文本與跨媒介文本結合而談，通過共時與歷時縱橫相觀的方式，觀察不同文本中或相離或交叉的內容，從而尋找並探討蕭紅在不同類型文本中所具有的或普遍規範，或變幻無常的多重形象，構建作家形象在文學立場上的特殊意義。其中，純文字文本包括與蕭紅有關的傳記、書信集等；跨媒介文本則包括與蕭紅有關的歌劇、舞劇、電影。後者也是本文獨創之處，探討這些在蕭紅研究界較為新興的表現方式如何塑造蕭紅形象。理論方面，本文將以西方藝術史中以畢加索為代表的立體主義為基礎和支點，以茱莉亞•克里斯蒂娃提出的互文理論與巴赫金的文本對話理論為研究方法，探討文本之間如何相互作用，力爭展示在新的理論觀照之下的蕭紅形象，並進一步建立宏大、多面的形象審視體系。

Full textAbstract:
This thesis traces the connections between Dorothy Livesay and William Blake, especially with respect to the construction and symbolization of the self. Models of influence relevant to Livesay and Blake are examined resulting in a contextual model of influence which considers artists' "anxiety" and the importance of gender issues. Archival documents supplement, and sometimes transform the implications of, Livesay's poetry and other published works in relation to Blake. The discussion moves from tracing the general points of intersection between Livesay and Blake (ancestors, traditions), to focusing on the different levels of influence that can be claimed between the two poets. The presence of Blake in Livesay's writings is examined closely, especially with respect to the imaginative states which each sets up to describe the self. Finally, Livesay's construction of the journey of her own life and her movement towards an ideal of self-completion which culminate in her celebratory late works are compared with Blake's ideal of the self as set forth in his Prophetic Works.

Full textAbstract:
After many years of neglect, American novelist and short-story writer John Fante is beginning to attract scholarly attention. In the current critical field there is an absence of textual and editorial criticism that needs to be redressed. It is important for Fante criticism to acknowledge the fact that Black Sparrow Press has not only republished Fante, but has re-invented him. Following the example of textual and editorial critics such as Lawrence S. Rainey, Jerome McGann, and George Bornstein, I address Black Sparrow's influence on the institutional, bibliographic, and linguistic codes of the Black Sparrow editions of Fante's work. By focussing on textual and editorial issues, I open up new areas of critical assessment---such as Black Sparrow's influence on critical and popular receptions of Fante. This critical approach allows for a more precise and complete critical understanding of Fante's work.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts to demonstrate the importance of the "autobiography of childhood" in Gabrielle Roy's first-person narratives through a narratological analysis of the most representative of these texts--the pseudo-autobiographical Rue Deschambault and La Route d'Altamont as well as the autobiographical texts La Detresse et l'Enchantement, "Ma petite rue qui m'a menee autour du monde", "Mes etudes a Saint-Boniface", "Souvenirs du Manitoba" and "Mon heritage du Manitoba". Our purpose is to identify recurrent structures and to interpret the similarities and differences in the light of contemporary theories on the autobiographical genre. This allows us in turn to examine the functioning and meaning of childhood writing in Gabrielle Roy's first-person narratives.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a comparative analysis of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Reveries du promeneur solitaire and Gabrielle Roy's autobiography (La Detresse et l'Enchantement and Le temps qui m'a manque) and establishes that these two works are testamentary autobiographies, that is, autobiographies written with the awareness of approaching death. We first show that both Rousseau and Roy link their ultimate autobiographical desire to the imminence of their own death. We then show that their autobiographical activity is not only motivated by death, but, moreover, that it allows them in a certain sense to live it already, since what this activity allows them to do is, for them, similar to what they long to do in the afterlife. We suggest, finally, that this activity, which allows them to bequeath an ideal picture of themselves that will survive them, gives them a hold on their immortality.

Grove, Dana Anthony. "Malcolm Lowry's design-governing postures : a rhetorical analysis of Under the volcano." Virtual Press, 1985. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/434855.
Full textAbstract:
Lowry's controversial and enigmatic book has spawned diverse critical analyses geared toward arriving at a single understanding of the novel; however, what too many of these works fail to take into account is the eclectic nature of Lowry's techniques as well as his themes. Hence, though we usually get a very clear picture of one approach to the book in these individual exercises in explication, when we turn once again to the story itself, we are apt to be a bit confused as to exactly how the design that they offer governs the unity of the book. Therefore, in order to glean the author's intent, one must take a more comprehensive, a rhetorical, view of the piece.For future reference, chapter one -- "A Review of Criticism" -summarizes and evaluates book reviews and critical studies done on Under the Volcano, the critical studies being organized into source, theme and technique analyses, respectively,Chapter two, "Rhetorical Analysis Defined," considers the critical theories of Edward Corbett, Mark Schorer and Wayne Booth to adumbrate the notion that a rhetorical analysis addresses the writer's intent, his work and thee work's impact upon its aud4ence to evaluate the effectiveness of a piece of literature. As an illustration, Lowry's essay "Garden of Etla" is explicated rhetorically here.In chapter three, "A Rhetorical Analysis of Under the Volcano," a chapter-by-chapter, detailed approach to the novel is used in order to illuminate the techniques which promote and define Lowry's themes. The techniques include those that establish stream of consciousness (interior monologues and dialogues), those that determine its direction (syntax, time and space montage, and mechanical devices) and those that add depth and dimension (figures of speech, puns and distorted English).The last chapter, "Malcolm Lowry's 'Design-Governing Postures, ," examines unifying structures which range the entire book and which thereby impose order on it. These designs include Lowry's use of the traditional unities, leitmotifs, parodies, symbolic structures, formal arrangements and "cyclic" themes.Critics of the novel contend that though enjoying isolated moments of direction and lucidness, Under the Volcano fails to convey it purpose effectively because the themes are nebulous and because the techniques segment rather than solidify the story. By explicating the book rhetorically, however, one learns to understand and appreciate the techniques that Lowry employs to amplify the fragmentation endured by the Consul, the people closest to him and, in fact, the entire world around him. Indeed, Lowry offers up a cogent cautionary vision of a twentieth-century world disintegrating because it lacks that force singularly capable of unifying it -- love.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of the present thesis is to study the theme of confinement in Michel Tremblay's Chroniques du Plateau Mont-Royal in regards of its subjacent dynamic. We start with the hypothesis according to which this dynamic, based on the succession "confinement-escape-return/re-creation of same", constitutes the frame of the text, giving it cohesion and structuring the narrative plot. Using thematic analysis tools, we attempt, first of all, to demonstrate the recurrent presence of the theme in the tremblayen text in line with two quite precise angles, that of spatial and family confinement in which the protagonists live. While underlining the different demonstrations of the theme, our analysis of the writing work aims to show that the author uses confinement, and precisely the confinement dynamic, as a dramatic motor (narrative function). Creating "la loi du roman", this never-ending structure on which would rest the tremblayen text, while preventing all escape attempts from the protagonists, would condemn them to wander eternally in search of a unreachable happiness.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers a critical study of Gabrielle Roy's presence in Jacques Poulin's works. Roy is a character, a reference and an inspiration; her books and her brilliant green eyes enthral Poulin and his protagonists. She is present through intertextual references---the mention of her name, her books, her characters or her quotes---but also, in a more abstract sense, through influence. In order to study the relationship between the two authors, a set of themes common to their literary works are analysed: their North-American identity (americanite), and their ambiguous treatment of sexuality.

Mullins, Nigel Lorraine Griffin. "A perspective on the question of the absence or presence of religious beliefs relating to elements of modern artistic endeavour, with special reference to the life and work of Francis Bacon." Thesis, Rhodes University, 1994. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1007710.
Full textAbstract:
Preface: An awareness of certain contradictory perceptions and assumptions regarding religious beliefs today and their relevance to art prompted a question which led to the research undertaken in this minithesis. The question was: how significant is the absence or presence of religious beliefs to the modern creative process? The writings of some theologians, sociologists, psychologists, and anthropologists seem to indicate that religious beliefs are fundamental to the functioning of society and the individuals who are part of it. Furthermore, even a cursory study of the history of art will demonstrate the strong bond between pre-nineteenth century image making and organised religion. Today, however, this relationship appears uncertain or even non-cxistant. This is a result of processes which began to gain strength in the nineteenth century: these include the industrial revolution, scientism and materialism. Peter Fuller, stated that among the most central questions affecting art is, "the severance of the arts from religious tradition and their existence within an increasingly secular culture." (Fuller, 1990, p. 189). This statement appears to bring the issues together very neatly. Firstly there is the assertion that religion has nourished and been a vital force behind art through the ages, and that, modern art has lost this source of vitality. Secondly, there is the contention tbat society, since the nineteenth century, has become increasingly secular, and that this has had (and is having) a radical effect on modern art. That art has been divorced from religion and that religion is disappearing, or will do so, is the logical conclusion, according to theorists who insist on institutional religion as the only true form. Some artists, for whom the absence or presence or loss of religious beliefs are important issues, may in this situation experience a creative crisis. In order to address these issues it was necessary to investigate whether religious beliefs are important to artistic endeavour and, if so, what the consequences of the absence of beliefs might be. For this reason, research into the nature of religion and the modem religious situation was initiated. The purpose of the extensive discussion on the nature of religion was to establish definitions of, or a view of, religion which could provide a sound basis for this investigation of the issues that have been outlined. In order to demonstrate whether religious beliefs are important to the creative process, Francis Bacon was chosen for discussion because he appeared to be a modern artist who had no religious beliefs and was thus an ideal example by which the consequences of this could be gauged.

Vrba, Marya. "The literary dream in German Central Europe, 1900-1925 : a selective study of the writings of Kafka, Kubin, Meyrink, Musil and Schnitzler." Thesis, Swansea University, 2011. https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/Record/cronfa42396.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the literary dream in selected works by Kafka, Kubin, Meyrink, Musil and Schnitzler, with a particular focus on the redefinition of subjectivity through dreamlife. The introductory chapter contextualises these case studies in the broader field of oneirocriticism, emphasising the dream's ancient role as fixtional template and its specific significance in the destabilised environment of German Central Europe during the early twentieth century. Alfred Kubin's Die andere Seite (1909), which uses the 'other side' as metaphor for both oneiric and artistic experience, reveals the inherent dualism of the literary dream and its close relationship with creativity. In Robert Musil's Die Verwirrungen des Zdglings Tdrlefi (1906), the protagonist serves as the model for a new type of self-determining subject who draws on the knowledge of dreams and irrationality. Franz Kafka's texts reveal techniques for integrating the dream into fictional worlds that are already dreamlike through the prevalence of (literalised) metaphor and free association. Gustav Meyrink, in Der Golem (1915), shares Kafka's interest in concretised metaphor, but also explores the dream's associations with occult practices, used as a defence against the threatening claims of science. Finally, Arthur Schnitzler's literary dreams offer a direct confrontation with psychoanalysis and a dismantling of nineteenth-century ideals of gender and bourgeois love. Overall, it is argued that the literary dreams by these authors hold varied responses to fragmentation of the Ich in the face of psychological 'vivisection', theories of relativity, and the collapse of old social orders. The dream, as a nightly 'psychosis', crystallised the pervasive fears of self-loss during this period; however, in its perennial role as micro-narrative, it also provided a site for re-construction of the subject. The incorporation of dreams in fictional lives served as a metonymical guide for the integration of un- and subconscious experience overall.

Marion, Carol A. v. "Distorted Traditions: the Use of the Grotesque in the Short Fiction of Eudora Welty, Carson Mccullers, Flannery O'connor, and Bobbie Ann Mason." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2004. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc4591/.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation argues that the four writers named above use the grotesque to illustrate the increasingly peculiar consequences of the assault of modernity on traditional Southern culture. The basic conflict between the views of Bakhtin and Kayser provides the foundation for defining the grotesque herein, and Geoffrey Harpham's concept of "margins" helps to define interior and exterior areas for the discussion. Chapter 1 lays a foundation for why the South is different from other regions of America, emphasizing the influences of Anglo-Saxon culture and traditions brought to these shores by the English gentlemen who settled the earliest tidewater colonies as well as the later influx of Scots-Irish immigrants (the Celtic-Southern thesis) who settled the Piedmont and mountain regions. This chapter also notes that part of the South's peculiarity derives from the cultural conflicts inherent between these two groups. Chapters 2 through 5 analyze selected short fiction from each of these respective authors and offer readings that explain how the grotesque relates to the drastic social changes taking place over the half-century represented by these authors. Chapter 6 offers an evaluation of how and why such traditions might be preserved. The overall argument suggests that traditional Southern culture grows out of four foundations, i. e., devotion to one's community, devotion to one's family, devotion to God, and love of place. As increasing modernization and homogenization impact the South, these cultural foundations have been systematically replaced by unsatisfactory or confusing substitutes, thereby generating something arguably grotesque. Through this exchange, the grotesque has moved from the observably physical, as shown in the earlier works discussed, to something internalized that is ultimately depicted through a kind of intellectual if not physical stasis, as shown through the later works.

Dean, Camille G. "Bridging the Generation Gap in the Works of Gabrielle Roy." PDXScholar, 1995. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4904.
Full textAbstract:
Gabrielle Roy's novels are filled with images of childhood and aging, of family, of rural and urban French-Canadian settings, and of Roy's experiences as a young, impressionable teacher. The generation gaps present themselves in many human relationships and thread themselves throughout Roy's works. For this thesis, the generation gaps will be studied in three important relationships. Part One presents largely the relationships within the microcosm of the family. It explores the gap between mothers and daughters. La Rue Deschambault, La Route d'Altamont, and Bonheur d'Occasion are included. The relationship between the father and child in La Rue Deschambault, Bonheur d'Occasion, and Alexandre Chenevert will then be explored. Important elements of these relationships are: the circle of life, the inevitable resemblances between parent and child, and their reversal of roles as the parent ages. Part Two focuses on bridging the gap between teacher and student in Gabrielle Roy's works. This relationship is studied extensively in both La Petite Poule d'Eau and Ces Enfants de Ma Vie. The teachers in Roy's works represent the link from the family to the outside world, as education empowers students to progress. Part Two also presents the elderly as teachers of the children in their lives. This special relationship is seen in La Route d'Altamont. Part Three studies the relationship between life and nature. Roy's urban novels, Bonheur d'Occasion and Alexandre Chenevert, in which the author draws contrasts between rural and urban life, are explored. The gap between the urban dweller and nature is focused on in Alexandre Chenevert. The bond that links humankind and animals is studied in La Montagne Secrete. There is an important contrast between the inherent need for solitude and humankind's communion. The artist's place within the universe is shown to be unique. In this macro setting of humankind and the universe, all human relation ships take their places within these interwoven, circular patterns.

Full textAbstract:
Focusing on four early works, then three from his middle period and three from the 1890s, this dissertation explores Meredith’s role as a novelist in the unfolding of a social and literary paradox, namely, that with the death of George Eliot in 1880, the dominant writers of fiction were male, and this remained the case until the advent of Virginia Woolf, while at the same time the woman’s movement for emancipation in all spheres of life—domestic, commercial, professional and political—was gathering in strength and conviction. None of the late nineteenth-century male novelists—James, Hardy, Moore and Gissing, as well as Meredith—was ideologically committed to the feminist cause; in fact the very term ‘feminist’ did not begin to become current in England until the mid-1890s. But they were all interested in one aspect or another of the ‘Woman Question’, even if James was ambivalent about female emancipation, and Gissing, on the whole, was somewhat hostile. Of all these novelists, it was Meredith whose work, especially in its last two decades, most copiously reveals a profound sympathy for women and their struggles to realize their desires and ambitions, both inside and outside the home, in a patriarchal world. The dissertation therefore concentrates on his presentation of his heroines in their relationships with the men who, in one way or another, dominate them, and with whom they must negotiate, within the social and sexual conventions of the time, a modus vivendi—a procedure that will entail, especially in the later work, some transgression of those conventions. Chapter 1 sketches more than two centuries of development in female consciousness of severe social disadvantage, from literary observations in the mid-seventeenth century to the intensifying of political representations in the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft, and the rise of the woman’s movement in the course of the Victorian century. The chapter includes an account of the impact on Meredith of John Stuart Mill’s The Subjection of Women (1869), and an examination of some of his female friendships by way of illuminating the experiential component of his insights into the ‘Woman Question’ as reflected in his fiction and letters. His unhappy first marriage is reserved for consideration in Chapter 2, as background to the discussion of The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859). This early novel, Meredith’s first in the realist mode, is widely accepted as being of high quality, and is given extended treatment, together with briefer accounts of three other early works, The Shaving of Shagpat (1855), Evan Harrington (1861), and Rhoda Fleming (1865), and one from Meredith’s middle period, Beauchamp’s Career (1876). Two more novels of this period, The Egoist (1879) and Diana of the Crossways (1885), are generally considered to be among his best works, and their heroines are given chapters to themselves (3 and 4). Chapter 5 provides further contextualization for the changing socio-political circumstances of the 1880s and 1890s, with particular reference to that heightening of feminist consciousness represented by the short-lived ‘New Woman’ phenomenon, to which Diana of the Crossways had been considered by some to be a contribution. Brief discussion of some other ‘New Woman’ novels of the 80s and 90s follows, giving literary context to the heroines of Meredith’s three late candidates in the genre, One of Our Conquerors (1891), Lord Ormont and His Aminta (1894), and The Amazing Marriage (1895). The dissertation concludes with a glance at Meredith’s influence on a few early twentieth-century novelists.

Lancaster, Daniel. "A Futile Quest for a Sustainable Relationship in Welty's Short Fiction." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2007. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc3652/.
Full textAbstract:
Eudora Welty is an author concerned with relationships between human beings. Throughout A Curtain of Green and Other Stories, The Wide Net and Other Stories, and The Golden Apples, Welty's characters search for ways in which to establish and sustain viable bonds. Particularly problematic are the relationships between opposite sexes. I argue that Welty uses communication as a tool for sustaining a relationship in her early work. I further argue that when her stories provide mostly negative outcomes, Welty moves on to a illuminate the possibility and subsequent failure of relationships via innocence in the natural world. Finally, Welty explores, through her characters, the attempt at marginalization and the quest for relationships outside the culture of the South.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis seeks to contribute to the conversations in the humanities about the treatment of the physical environment in the context of a global ecological fragility and increased scholarly interest in the poetry of Arthur Nortje, a South African poet who wrote in the 1960s. While previous studies on Nortje concentrate on the political, psychic and technical aspects of his poetry, this study particularly explores the representations of the environment in Nortj e’s poetic imagination. Writing in the dark period of apartheid in South Africa’s history, Nortje’s poetry articulates a strong interest in the physical environment against the backdrop of official racialization of space and his personal nomadic life and exile. The poetry abounds with constant intersections of nature and culture (industrialism, urbanity and the quotidian), a sense of place and a deep sense of dislocation. The poems, therefore, present a platform from which to reevaluate conventional ecocritical ideas about nature, place-attachment and environmental consciousness. Drawing mainly on Felix Guattari’s ideas of three ecologies and transversality along with other theories, I conduct the study through what I call a transversal postcolonial environmental criticism, which considers the ecological value of the kind of assemblages that Nortje’s works represent. The first chapter focuses on conceptualizing a postcolonial approach to the environment based on Guattari’s concept of transversality to lay the theoretical foundation for the whole work. The second chapter analyses Nortje’s poetic imagination of place and displacement through his treatment of the private-public tension and the motif of exile. While the third chapter examines Nortje’s depiction of nature as both an everyday and urban phenomenon, the fourth chapter turns to his direct treatment of environmental crises handled through his imagination of the Canadian urban spaces, exile memory of apartheid geography, war and ecocide and the human body as a subject of environmental degradation. The fifth chapter, which is the conclusion, takes a brief look at the implication of Nortje’s complex treatment of the environment on postcolonial environmentalism.

Full textAbstract:
Poetic-musical analysis by Caetano Veloso on "London, London" (1970), "Goodbye, my Santo Amaro" (1971), "Sampa" (1978) and "my River" (2000) as the translation behavior of the contemporary artist on the presence the city imagery, whose productive force takes the lyrical second subject a negative vision but productive of being poetic, becoming, in addition to spectator of reality, the vehicle and the language in which the text is organized. So the city isn't exclusively theme, but, above all, discursive role plays, guides the vision and produces a real image. Therefore, Caetano will be observed as a musician-contemporary poet which absorbed the proposals of the modern tradition, according to the theory of Octavio Paz, and the categories of negativity, proposed by Hugo Friedrich, stabilizing a more conscious space where these categories, already out of context in relation to the first modernity, update your images and poetic sense, within the contemporary, where Danto the sorts as a style of using styles.Análise da poética-musical de Caetano Veloso em “London, London” (1970), “Adeus, meu Santo Amaro” (1971), “Sampa” (1978) e “Meu Rio” (2000) como tradução do comportamento do artista contemporâneo diante da presença imagética da cidade, cuja força produtiva leva o sujeito lírico, segundo uma visão negativista mas producente do ser poético, a tornar-se, além de espectador da realidade, o veículo e a linguagem pela qual se organiza o texto. Por isso, a cidade não é exclusivamente tema, mas, antes de tudo, desempenha papel discursivo, orienta a visão e produz uma imagem do real. Portanto, Caetano será observado como um músico-poeta contemporâneo que absorveu as propostas da tradição do moderno, segundo a teoria de Octavio Paz, e as categorias da negatividade, propostas por Hugo Friedrich, estabilizando-se num espaço mais consciente onde essas categorias, já descontextualizadas em relação à primeira modernidade, atualizam suas imagens e sentido poéticos, dentro da contemporaneidade, onde Danto a classificará como um estilo de usar estilos.

Full textAbstract:
"The Theme of Isolation in Selected Short Fiction of Kate Chopin, Katherine Anne Porter, and Eudora Welty" examines certain prototypical natures of isolation as recurrent and underlying themes in selected short fiction of Chopin, Porter, and Welty. Despite the differing backgrounds of the three Southern women writers, and despite the variety of issues they treat, the theme of isolation permeates most of their short fiction. I categorize and analyze their short stories by the nature and the treatment of the varieties of isolation. The analysis and comparison of their short stories from this particular perspective enables readers to link the three writers and to acknowledge their artistic talent and grasp of human psychology and situations.

The research deals with analyzing and interpreting the images of the sertão in the poetry of Patativa do Assaré. The poet is a voice. The voice as a “symbolic place that cannot be defined otherwise than by a relation, a distance, a link between the subject and the object, between the object and the other” (ZUMTHOR, 2007, p. 83). Patativa would be “the echo of a very alive poetic time from the low antiquity” (ZUMTHOR, 1993, p. 73). The hypothesis is that it would be possible to find in the work of the sertanejo images that characterize a sertão in which, beyond the problems, there is life, fertility, beauty. It is known that the narrative about the sertão, in general, has a certain amount of stereotype or exotic veneer. In literature, for example, writers and intellectuals who are fond of only fad, without regard to translation and varied repertoires, offer the exoticism of the sertão, reducing human problems to a picturesque element (CÂNDIDO, 2006a). In the mainstream media is no different. The popular talk is caricatured, and the sertão is almost always sterile, without color, with disfigured human types. In the work of Patativa do Assaré, however, it would be possible to verify the landscapes of a beautiful sertão, which is capable of multiple interactions. As a baroque composition, it includes human types, fauna, flora, music, dance, clothing, garments, food, walking, talking, working, and celebrating; which is a picture of complexity, of affection, of compassion. By his language, which is neither high nor low, but the mixture of the two, the poet is mediation (MARTÍN-BARBERO, 2013). He uses a language that does not originate from the impositions charged by the commercialization and adaptation of the taste to some formats, but from the modes of the popular narrating, permeated by a peculiar linguistic variety. His work seems to translate a sertão of many mixes; mestizo and caboclo, presenting a possible horizon of continuities and extensions (LAPLANTINE; NOUSS, 2002). Or in other words, a plot of a sertão made of mobile processes in its multiple connections, of paths to be transposed: borders (FERREIRA, 2010). Thus, In this study, the body is considered as source and origin of communication. The body as a catalyst for communicational environments, simply because it is present (BAITELLO, 2008, p. 99); hence the constitutive aspects of performance, especially the gesture and the role of the voice. The work takes into account “communication as a search for relationship and sharing with the other” (WOLTON, 2006). The poet would find himself in the same perspective as “many creators, artists and writers (who) project in the blends of the world new lights that the social sciences do not always provide” (GRUZINSKI, 2001, p. 41). The interpretative analytical method takes into account the poems themselves, the fittings and the mediations contained in them (PINHEIRO, 2013)
pesquisa se ocupa de analisar e interpretar as imagens do sertão na poética de Patativa do Assaré. O poeta é voz. A voz como “lugar simbólico que não pode ser definido de outra forma que por uma relação, uma distância, uma articulação entre o sujeito e o objeto, entre o objeto e o outro” (ZUMTHOR, 2007, p. 83). Patativa seria “o eco de um tempo poético muito vivo desde a baixa Antiguidade” (ZUMTHOR, 1993, p. 73). A hipótese é de que seria possível encontrar, na obra do sertanejo, imagens que caracterizam um sertão em que, para além dos problemas, há vida, fertilidade, beleza. Sabe-se que a narrativa sobre o sertão, em geral, tem certa dose de estereótipo ou verniz exótica. Na literatura, por exemplo, escritores e intelectuais afeitos apenas ao modismo, sem levar em conta a tradução e repertórios variados, oferecem o exotismo do sertão, reduzindo os problemas humanos a elemento pitoresco (CÂNDIDO, 2006a). Na grande mídia não é diferente. Faz-se caricatura do falar popular, e o sertão é apresentado quase sempre estéril, sem cor, com tipos humanos desfigurados. Na obra de Patativa do Assaré, porém, seria possível verificar as paisagens de um sertão belo e capaz de interações múltiplas. Como uma composição barroca, nela se inserem os tipos humanos, a fauna, a flora, a música, a dança, as vestimentas, as indumentárias, a comida, a forma de andar, de falar, de trabalhar, de festejar; qual um quadro de complexidade, de afetos, de compaixão. Por sua linguagem, que não é alta nem baixa, mas a mistura das duas, o poeta é mediação (MARTÍN-BARBERO, 2013). Ele usa de uma linguagem que não se origina das imposições carregadas pela comercialização e adaptação do gosto a alguns formatos, mas dos modos do narrar popular, permeados de uma variedade linguística peculiar. Sua obra parece traduzir um sertão de muitas mesclas; mestiço e caboclo, apresentando um horizonte possível de continuidades e prolongamentos (LAPLANTINE; NOUSS, 2002). Ou, noutras palavras, o enredo de um sertão feito de processos móveis em suas múltiplas conexões, de percursos a transpor: bordas (FERREIRA, 2010). Assim, neste estudo, considera-se o corpo como fonte e origem da comunicação. O corpo como catalisador de ambientes comunicacionais, pelo simples fato de estar presente (BAITELLO, 2008, p. 99); daí os aspectos constitutivos da performance, especialmente a gestualidade e o papel da voz. O trabalho leva em conta “a comunicação como busca da relação e do compartilhamento com o outro” (WOLTON, 2006). O poeta se localizaria na mesma perspectiva de “muitos criadores, artistas e escritores (que) projetam nas misturas do mundo novas luzes que nem sempre as ciências sociais fornecem” (GRUZINSKI, 2001, p. 41). O método analítico-interpretativo leva em conta as indicações dos próprios poemas, dos encaixes e das mediações contidas neles (PINHEIRO, 2013)

Full textAbstract:
CAPESO presente estudo focaliza as representações de ciência e tecnologia no pensamento do intelectual Gustavo Barroso entre o período de 1909 e 1935. Sendo um dos principais líderes da Ação Integralista Brasileira, averiguaremos especialmente a sua visão eugênica, anterior a sua participação no integralismo e a influência dessa ciência na construção de seu pensamento autoritário e antissemita. Procuramos perceber o diálogo de Gustavo Barroso, em um contexto de profundas transformações sociais e políticas, com a busca de um nacionalismo “verdadeiramente brasileiro”. A metodologia utilizada foi a pesquisa de cunho bibliográfica e documental, destacando-se a análise dos livros de Gustavo Barroso, que foram utilizados como fontes primárias: Intelligencia das Coisas(1923), Aquém da Atlântida (1931), Brasil Colônia de Banqueiros (1934), O Integralismo de Norte a Sul (1934), O Quarto Império (1935) e A Palavra e o Pensamento Integralista (1935), além de alguns de seus artigos pesquisados no acervo do Museu Histórico Nacional. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que neste período Gustavo Barroso passou a desenvolver em seus escritos uma visão política autoritária, eugênica e posteriormente, no integralismo, ligada fortemente ao antissemitismo.
This study focuses on the representations of science and technology in the thinking of the Brazilian intellectual Gustavo Barroso in the period between 1909 and 1935. As one of the main leaders of the Brazilian Integralism, we will discuss,especially, his eugenic vision, prior to his participation in integralism and the influence of this science in building his authoritarian and anti-Semitic thinking. We seek to realize Gustavo Barroso dialogue, in a context of profound social and political changes, with the search for a nationalism "truly Brazilian." The methodology used was of a documentary and literature research , highlighting the analysis of Gustavo Barroso books, which were used as primary sources: Intelligencia das Coisas(1923), Aquém da Atlântida (1931), Brasil Colônia de Banqueiros (1934), O Integralismo de Norte a Sul (1934), O Quarto Império (1935) e A Palavra e o Pensamento Integralista (1935), and, also, some of his articles surveyed in the National History Museum collection. The survey results show that in this period Gustavo Barroso went on to develop in his writings an eugenic and authoritarian political vision, later, in his integralist phase, linked strongly to an anti-Semitic view.

Simmonds, Clive. "Publishing Swinburne : the poet, his publishers and critics." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2013. http://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/245120.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the publishing history of Algernon Charles Swinburne during his lifetime (1837-1909). The first chapter presents a detailed narrative from his first book in 1860 to the mid 1870s: it includes the scandal of 'Poems and Ballads' in 1866; his subsequent relations with the somewhat dubious John Camden Hotten; and then his search to find another publisher who was to be Andrew Chatto, with whom Swinburne published for the rest of his life. It is followed by a chapter which looks at the tidal wave of criticism generated by Poems and Ballads but which continued long after, and shows how Swinburne responded. The third and central chapter turns to consider the periodical press, important throughout his career not just for reviewing but also as a very significant medium for publishing poetry. Chapter 4 on marketing looks closely at the business of producing and of selling Swinburne’s output. Finally Chapter 5 deals with some aspects of his career after the move to Putney, and shows that while Theodore Watts, his friend and in effect his agent, was making conscious efforts to reshape the poet, some of Swinburne’s interests were moving with the tide of public taste; how this was demonstrated in particular by his volume of Selections and how his poetic oeuvre was finally consolidated in the Collected Edition at the end of his life. The thesis shows that popular interest was mainly on his earlier poetry, and suggests his high contemporary reputation (which was not fully reflected in sales) was maintained by the periodical press.

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation is an exercise in the application of the philosophical hermeneutics of Paul Ricoeur and the biblical hermeneutics of John Dominic Crossan to the aesthetics of religious cinema.The thesis defines religious cinema as virtual religious experience; therefrom a theory of religious cinema is derived. This derivation depends on a discussion of the essential elements of the cinematic experience and permits the expansion of the category of religious cinema beyond its traditional frontier. Throughout the dissertation, a dialogue is maintained with general cinema theory on the one hand and religious cinema criticism on the other. The purpose of this dialogue is to increase credibility (in the former case) and to demonstrate originality (in the latter case).
Finally, extrapolating from a specific dialogue between Crossan and Ricoeur, a critical method is developed, then applied to Werner Herzog's Herz aus Glas, a transcription of which is included as an appendix.

Adams, Dana W. (Dana Wills). "Female Inheritors of Hawthorne's New England Literary Tradition." Thesis, University of North Texas, 1994. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279406/.
Full textAbstract:
Nineteenth-century women were a mainstay in the New England literary tradition, both as readers and authors. Indeed, women were a large part of a growing reading public, a public that distanced itself from Puritanism and developed an appetite for novels and magazine short stories. It was a culture that survived in spite of patriarchal domination of the female in social and literary status. This dissertation is a study of selected works from Nathaniel Hawthorne, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Mary E. Wilkins Freeman that show their fiction as a protest against a patriarchal society. The premise of this study is based on analyzing these works from a protest (not necessarily a feminist) view, which leads to these conclusions: rejection of the male suitor and of marriage was a protest against patriarchal institutions that purposely restricted females from realizing their potential. Furthermore, it is often the case that industrialism and abuses of male authority in selected works by Jewett and Freeman are symbols of male-driven forces that oppose the autonomy of the female. Thus my argument is that protest fiction of the nineteenth century quietly promulgates an agenda of independence for the female. It is an agenda that encourages the woman to operate beyond standard stereotypes furthered by patriarchal attitudes. I assert that Jewett and Freeman are, in fact, inheritors of Hawthorne's literary tradition, which spawned the first fully-developed, independent American heroine: Hester Prynne.

by means of this modest work we try to address some of the most important concepts of the work of the italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben and more specifically as his thesis on the relations of the concentration camp constitute the place of the city as the true paradigm of the modern. In the discussion of points such as the state of exception, the position of homo sacer in the structuring conjuncture of politics and law, and the incidence of these forms in the contemporary world, we try to insert in the discussion what Agamben considers most important to think modernity: what (still and insistently) remains of Auschwitz. Therefore, we raise important questions that focus on our own being and the daily relationships that it establishes with others in society, inscribing in violence and force-of-law the (im)possibility of self-criticism necessary for us, inserted in a reality evidently simulated, which leads us to believe in a reality that is far from the real reality, in a world in which democracies and their humanistic principles have buried all totalitarianism and filled the gaps that man's inhumanization caused without ever going through the necessary discussions about the which "subtracts" from Auschwitz. Biopolitics, paradox of sovereignty, governability, tanatopolitics. Far from appearing to be distant concepts in our daily lives, these terms are, in fact, revealed as ideals contained in sovereign power that we deal with every day, transposed into formulations that differ from living reality, in which democracy and its human principles conceal the real in the face of what is left of Auschwitz, a gap which we ignore and which we attempt to displace in our discussions, leading to incomplete responses to incomplete lives in an incomplete society within an equally incomplete worldwide contentment that insists on showing itself as already made, complete and finished, in which to ignore is more effective than to understand and in which to shout the dignity of the human person is more important than to understand who really is human in the present reality and under what conditions he is captured in all these relations of the concentration camp, putting in question our own life as life itself – naked life – and leading us to perhaps the most important question so that we must try to open the doors of the house of our conformism and pretended security and finally to see the gaps that Auschwitz left in the human itself, reaching the minimum of estrangement from the human that comes: how much of reality our illusion is capable to withstand?
por meio deste modesto trabalho procuramos abordar alguns dos mais importantes conceitos da obra do filósofo italiano Giorgio Agamben e mais especificamente como sua tese sobre as relações do campo de concentração se constituem no lugar da cidade como o verdadeiro paradigma do moderno. Elencando pontos como o estado de exceção, a posição do homo sacer na conjuntura estruturante da política e do direito e a incidência dessas formas no mundo contemporâneo, tentamos inserir na discussão o que Agamben considera de mais importante para se pensar a modernidade: o que (ainda e insistentemente) resta de Auschwitz. Levantamos, com isso, importantes questionamentos que se centram no próprio ser e nas relações diárias que este estabelece com os demais em sociedade, inscrevendo na violência e na força-de-lei a (im)possibilidade de autocrítica necessária para nós, inseridos numa realidade evidentemente simulacrada, que nos leva a crer numa realidade distante daquela realmente real, num mundo em que as democracias e seus princípios humanísticos soterraram todo o totalitarismo e preencheram as lacunas que a inhumanização do homem causaram sem nunca, porém, passar pelas necessárias discussões sobre o que “resta” de Auschwitz. Biopolítica, paradoxo da soberania, governabilidade, tanatopolítica. Longe de parecerem conceitos distantes em nosso cotidiano, estes termos se revelam, em verdade, como ideários contidos no poder soberano e que lidamos todos os dias, transvestidos em formulações discrepantes com a realidade vivente, em que a democracia e seus princípios humanos escondem a real face do que ainda resta de Auschwitz, lacuna esta que ignoramos e que tentamos deslocar em nossas discussões, levando a respostas incompletas para vidas incompletas numa sociedade incompleta dentro dum contento mundial igualmente incompleto e que insiste em transparecer como pronto, acabado e completo, em que ignorar é mais eficaz do que compreender e em que bradar a dignidade da pessoa humana é mais importante do que entender quem realmente é humano na atual realidade e em que condições ele está capturado em todas essas relações do campo de concentração, colocando em questão a nossa própria vida como vida mesmo – vida nua – e nos levando a talvez o mais importante questionamento que devemos nos fazer para, quem sabe assim, abrir as portas da casinha de nosso conformismo e pretensa segurança e finalmente enxergar as lacunas que Auschwitz deixou no próprio humano, alcançando o mínimo de estranhamento ao humano que vem: quanto de realidade nossa ilusão é capaz de suportar?

Resumo: Objetos e afetos propõe a criação de um livro-objeto composto por três cadernos que esboçam, entre escritas e materialidades, a possibilidade de uma pesquisa-desenho. Uma proposta de inventar com a obra Vinte e um veleiros (s/ data), do artista brasileiro Arthur Bispo do Rosário (1909-1989), modos de habitar os objetos e o mundo. Traçar também junto a presença de Bispo na Trigésima Bienal de São Paulo ¿ a iminência das poéticas (2012) as problemáticas que envolvem a crítica e a divulgação cultural das artes visuais. Arte e loucura: palavras que constituem uma figura-Bispo que contorna as tentativas da crítica, entre biografias e bibliografias, de decifrar sua personalidade, encontrar em seus objetos possíveis narrativas que os fixem no compromisso com a representação de um mundo interno e pessoal. Essa pesquisa nasce da inquietação diante desse modelo com o qual a crítica e a divulgação cultural lidam com os feitos das artes visuais. Papel, linha e palavra são os materiais com os quais essa pesquisa pretende transbordar as margens dos dizeres que amarram artista e obra, e desenhar passagens para habitantes outros, entre sentidos e sensações, que movimentem as condições que estabilizam a existência dos objetos. Uma proposta de esboçar nos cadernos desse livro-objeto possibilidades em que os Veleiros, como compostos de sensações, possam ficar de pé sozinhos, independentes de determinações que os fixem a alguma identidade, temporalidade ou territorialidade dada. Investigar os vãos, as passagens, os respiros nos objetos; as vidas que podem acontecer, no encontro das linhas inesperadas e desconhecidas que desenham as páginas dos cadernos.

Abstract: Objects and affects proposes the creation of an book object composed of three notebooks drafting, between written and materialities, the possibility of a drawing-research. A proposal to invent with the work Vinte e um veleiros (Twenty-one sailboats) (undated), of Brazilian artist Arthur Bispo do Rosário (1909-1989), ways of inhabiting the objects and the world. Tracing also in Bispo presence at Thirtieth Biennial of São Paulo - the imminence of the poetic (2012) the set of problems involving the critical and cultural divulgation of the visual arts. Art and madness: words that make up a figure-Bispo outlining the attempts of criticism, from biographies and bibliographies, to decipher his personality, find in his work and objects possible narratives that determine them upon a commitment with the representation of an internal and personal world. This research comes from uneasiness about this model with criticism and cultural diffusion which deal with the feats of the visual arts. Paper, line and word are the materials with which this research aims to overflow the banks of the wording tying artist and work, and draw passages to habitants, other, between senses and sensations that move the conditions that stabilize the existence of objects. A proposal to draw, in the roll of that object-book, possibilities where sailboats, as compounds of sensations, can stand alone, independent of determinations which fix them to some identity, temporality or territoriality given. Investigate the gaps, passages, vents on objects; lives that can happen at the meeting of the unexpected and unknown lines that draw the pages of notebooks. Try taking the drawing as a research procedure, in which the word becomes matter of experimentation, and reading / writing remain as gestures sketching passages through which it is possible to perceive / enhance a mysterious immensity that crosses the materiality of objects ¿ affections, white, empty, silences, (un)speakable... A tentative of a drawing-research that want, with the composition of these notebooks, undressing objects in a conversation in which their materiality can tell us of unspeakable secrets by words, or dripping fragments of texts by/ between gaps, textures, plasticity... Dry meanings in the possibility of composing another life with writing and the materiality of things. A desire to scour ways of inhabiting a range of possibilities, between affects, objects and words that compose this book object. Overflowing the banks of the research, draw passages with woven written

Resumo: Esta tese consiste numa interpretação sobre o discurso teórico e o ficcional. Num primeiro momento, são trabalhados os discursos constitutivos das teorias sobre a modernidade e sobre o romance; num segundo, aborda-se o discurso ficcional da obra do autor português António Lobo Antunes. O ponto em comum que orienta a interpretação nas diferentes frentes diz respeito ao interesse em investigar o estatuto da narrativa no âmbito desses discursos. Pretende-se demonstrar um fenômeno coincidente nos três campos de investigação, que diz respeito ao fato de a narrativa ser colocada em xeque, isto é, de o seu estatuto e a sua validade serem questionados e, concomitantemente, esse mesmo questionamento apontar para um retorno de sua validade e, conseqüentemente, para uma sua permanência. Isto é o que se procurou demonstrar pelo trabalho de interpretação de alguns discursos teóricos que buscaram pensar a passagem da modernidade à pósmodernidade, bem como daqueles que procuraram se constituir enquanto teorias do romance. O questionamento a respeito da possibilidade da morte da narrativa acabou demonstrando, paradoxalmente, um retorno ao narrativo; principalmente pelo fato de os próprios discursos que afirmaram isso acabarem se revelando, eles próprios, como construtos narrativos. Essa investigação de cunho teórico se mostra organizada na primeira parte do trabalho, intitulada A modernidade e a narrativa sobre o romance. Esta parte é composta por dois capítulos. No primeiro, procura-se construir um quadro compreensivo das principais questões pertinentes ao debate sobre a modernidade, o fim da modernidade e a pós-modernidade; em especial, dá-se relevância ao trabalho com as teorias de Gianni Vattimo e de Fredric Jameson. Este capítulo inicial intitula-se Mais uma pequena narrativa sobre o fim das grandes narrativas. O segundo capítulo, intitulado Romance: ou sobre como narrar um "mundo abandonado por deus", configura-se como um desdobramento das discussões apresentadas no primeiro e constitui-se de uma interpretação que se faz a partir da articulação da leitura de alguns dos principais estudos pertinentes à teoria do romance. Esta interpretação deve ser entendida como resultado de um construto narrativo também, tal como o que foi realizado no primeiro capítulo. A segunda parte da tese, intitulada A modernidade e a narrativa do romance, é composta pelo terceiro capítulo, em que se pretende construir uma interpretação sobre as variações formais das narrativas de António Lobo Antunes. Por esta, procura-se demonstrar como o já referido fenômeno paradoxal da negação e afirmação da narrativa ocorre no âmbito do discurso ficcional das obras do autor português, de modos distintos e em diferentes níveis. Nas duas últimas seções desse terceiro capítulo, busca-se uma articulação entre essa interpretação da obra de Lobo Antunes e aquelas realizadas nos dois capítulos anteriores. Não há um capítulo conclusivo
Abstract: This thesis consists of an interpretation about theoretical and fictional speech. In a first part, they are worked out as through several theories of the modernity and novel; after this, the work of the Portuguese author António Lobo Antunes is approached. The common point that guides the interpretation in such different fronts concerns the interest in investigating the statute of narrative in the realm of those discourses. It intends to demonstrate a coincident phenomenon in the three investigation fields, that concerns the capacity of the narrative to keep in check, that is, its statute and its validity they be questioned and, concomitantly, this questionment points for a return of its validity and, consequently, for its permanence. That was she tried to demonstrate for the work of interpretation of some theoretic speeches that looked for think about the passage of modernity to post-modernity, as well as those that sought to constitute as novel theories. The questionment regarding the possibility of the death of the narrative ended up demonstrating, paradoxically, a return to the narrative; mainly for the fact of the speeches that affirmed that ended up revealing theyself, as narrative constructs. This investigation of theoretic stamp is shown organized in the first part of the work, entitled The modernity and the narrative about the novel. This part is composed by two chapters. In the first, it tries to build an understanding picture of the main pertinent subjects to discussion about the modernity, the end of modernity and the post-modernity; specially, it feels relevance to the work with Gianni Vattimo's and Fredric Jameson's theories. This initial chapter is entitled One more little narrative about the end of the great narratives. The second chapter, entitled Novel: or about how to narrate an "abandoned world by god", it is configured as an unfolding of the discussions presented in the first and constituts of an interpretation that is done starting from the articulation of the reading of some of the main pertinent studies to the theory of the novel. This interpretation should be understood as a result of a narrative construct also, as what it was accomplished in the first chapter. The second part of theory, entitled The modernity and the narrative of the novel, is composed by the third chapter, which intends to build an interpretation about the formal variations of António Lobo Antunes' narratives. By this, it tries to demonstrate as the already referred paradoxical phenomenon of the denial and statement of the narrative happens in the extent of the fictional speech of the Portuguese author's works, of different ways and in different levels. In the last two sections of that third chapter, an articulation is looked between that interpretation of Lobo Antunes' work and those accomplished in the two previous chapters. There is no conclusive chapter

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:
Com o recente crescimento do interesse em atividades manuais baseada em tecnologias digitais, espaços de construção começam a fazer parte de projetos educacionais públicos e privados no país. Estes espaços são planejados, construídos e executados seguindo tendências transnacionais de construção digital. Esta tese contrasta propostas maker baseadas em FabLabs, na Maker Media, em críticas à tecnoutopia californiana e no FabLearn com objetivo de compreender as origens, objetivos e implicações de cada uma dessas diferentes propostas de tecnologias para a Educação. Considerando a sub-teorização do movimento maker em geral, que privilegia o fazer acima do refletir, esta tese apresenta conceitos de tecnologia baseado em Álvaro Vieira Pinto, de práxis e liberdade em Paulo Freire, e de bases social da técnica no campo de Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva de fatos e fenômenos em voga na tecnociência e educação brasileiras. Os resultados alcançados são uma abordagem crítico-reflexiva das diferentes vertentes maker, o contraste entre diferentes propostas de construção digital, uma contribuição a propostas progressistas de educação e a valorização e expansão da obra de pensadores nacionais de Educação e tecnologias. Conclui-se que a proposta FabLearn é condicente com ideias freirianas para Educação e que parte da falta de embasamento teórico do movimento maker em geral pode ser preenchida pelo pensamento filosófico de Álvaro Vieira Pinto e educacional de Paulo Freire, em uma perspectiva emancipatória e inclusiva da sociedade.Spaces dedicated to construction based on digital resources are taking part of public and private educational projects in Brazil as a result of the growing public interest in hands-on activities. These spaces are planned, built, and executed under transnational trends of digital construction. This Ph.D. thesis contrasts maker proposals, e.g. FabLabs, Maker Media, criticism to the Californian tecnoutopia, and FabLearn, in order to comprehend the origins, the aims and the implications of each one of these distinct proposals of technologies in Education. One considering the under-theorization of maker movement in general, which privileges the ´making´ over reflection, this thesis presents concepts of technology based on Alvaro Vieira Pinto, and praxis and freedom on Paulo Freire’s work, along a discussion of social basis of techniques on Science, Technology and Society Studies. It is a descriptive research about facts and phenomenons in an ongoing debate about Brazilian techno science and education. As results, it presents firstly a critical reflexive approach of diverse maker proposals, secondly a contribution to progressive education discussions, and thirdly the enrichment and expansion of national thinkers’ theories on technology and education. It concludes that FabLearn is consistent with Freire’s ideas of progressive education, and Alvaro Vieira Pinto’s philosophical and Paulo Freire’s educational thoughts can be filled in, based on an emancipatory and inclusive perspective of society, the theoretical gap of maker movement.

Full textAbstract:
Franz Schreker (1878-1934) was a Jewish-Austrian composer of great success during the first decades of the twentieth century. Schreker’s reputation diminished after 1933 when Hitler came to power and, in 1938, his compositions were labeled Entartete Musik (“degenerate music”) by the Nazis in a public display in Düsseldorf. The Third Reich and post-war Germany saw Schreker as a decadent outcast, misunderstanding his unique style that combined elements of romanticism, expressionism, impressionism, symbolism, and atonality. This study of Schreker’s Lieder will pursue two goals. First, it will analyze the Mutterlieder (before 1898), the Fünf Gesänge (1909), and the first piece from Vom ewigen Leben (1923) stylistically. Schreker composed nearly four dozen Lieder, incorporating a wide range of styles and ideas. By studying and performing these songs written at various points in his career (including early songs, songs written after he met Schoenberg, and his last songs during the height of his fame), I hope to develop a clearer understanding of how Schreker synthesized the many cultural forces and artistic movements that seem to have influenced his compositional style. Second, this study will consider the sociopolitical circumstances that fueled the disintegration of his reputation. This disintegration occurred not just during the Third Reich, but also afterwards, notably in an often discussed essay by Theodor Adorno. Only in the last thirty years have scholarly voices critical of such rejections of Schreker emerged. My ultimate goal, then, is to join this reevaluation, studying and contextualizing this repertory to develop a new understanding of an oft-neglected chapter in the history of the German Lied.

Full textAbstract:
D.Litt.The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the role which tradition plays in Ritsos' poetry. It constitutes three chapters: Ancient tradition in Ritsos' poetry but more especially in the poems of The Fourth Dimension. The Folk Song and Ritsos' Epitaph. Folk, Historical, Literary, and Religious tradition in Ritsos' poetry but more especially in the following poems: Romiossini ("Greekness'), Kira Ton Abelion ("Lady of the Vineyards'), Teratodes Aristourgima ("Monstrous Masterpiece'). In the early section of the first chapter, emphasis is placed on the presence of "myth" in Ritsos' poetry - myth, which enriches it with symbols and references drawn from the entire mythological nexus. Ritsos penetrates modern man's thoughts, feelings and actions. He applies the principle of objectivity, which at the same time is the "basic function" of his mythical method. In the second part, emphasis is placed not only on the dramatic monologues of Ritsos' Fourth Dimension but also on the manner in which the monologues relate with ancient drama, where Ritsos with his own personal and vivid style gives it that human drama which identifies with that of Greek tragedy. Furthermore, existing linguistic similarities and differences are illustrated which exist in The Fourth Dimension and ancient drama. The dramatic factor is examined in the poems and monologues as also on the demystification and the unheroic - a factor common to both Ritsos and Euripides. The second chapter demonstrates the influence of folk songs on Ritsos' poetry and more especially on the Epitaph. A detailed discussion is presented on the manner in which the Epitaph relates with the Laments (folk songs of grief and lamentation), with the following points of comparison used in this regard: use of the Fifteen Syllabic Metre, language, vocabulary, syntactical and paratactical elements, pleonastic uses, figures of speech, symmetry, rhyme and literary style, inter alia. The third chapter examines in detail the element of tradition (ancient, historical, literary, Christian, religious and folk-lyric factors) in the following poems: 'Romiossini' ('Greelcriess), 'Kira Ton Abelion' (Lady of the Vineyards) and 'Teratodes Aristourgima' (Monstrous Masterpiece '). The aim in this section is to ascertain (by means of direct and indirect examples drawn from Greek Tradition) the degree of influence which tradition exerts on Ritsos' work and the, manner in which Ritsos' work relates to it. Obvious similarities are pointed out - those which are contained in 'Romiossini' and Solomos"Eleftheri Poliorkimeni' ('The Free Besieged). Furthermore, similarities found in Sikelianos"/era Odos' ('The Sacred Way) and 'Kira Ton Abelion' ('Lady of the Vineyards) are compared with those found in Makriyannis and Theophilos (common element in Ritsos - Seferis-Elytis). Similarities found in 'Teratodes Aristourgima' (Monstrous Masterpiece) are compared with those of Kariotakis, Palamas ('Dodecalogos tou Giftou' - ' Gypsy's Dodecalogue), Porfiras, Varnalis, Tsirkas, 'Erophili and Erotocritos'.

The aim of this dissertation is to analyse those poems in which the image of the knife, el cuchillo, appears in the collection El rayo que no cesa, by Miguel Hernandez. The poet manifests his all-encompassing tragic view of life by means of this recurring negative symbol. The poetry of Miguel Hernandez is autobiographical: The universal themes of nature, love and death reveal a close link between the course of his life and the evolution of his poetry. El rayo que no cesa is central to the evolution of Hernandez's poetry: it is the product of the crisis of conscience that propelled the poet toward a radical change of world-view. The book reveals his frustration with love within the rigid norms of the society of his time. The poet expresses his bitterness by means of destructive images such as knife, sword, and ray/flash, images that project the tragic fate that threatened his entire existence.

"Geschichte in Literatur-- Literatur als Geschichte: Fürst Pücklers literarische Stellungnahme zu den historisch-politischen und sozialen Zuständen seiner Zeit dargestellt an den Werken : Briefe eines Verstorbenen, Tutti Frutti und Südöstlicher Bildersaal." Thesis, 1993. http://hdl.handle.net/2429/1942.
Full textAbstract:
Fürst Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785-1871) is a writer whose work enjoyed immense popularity in his lifetime. Today, however, he is largely forgotten or ignored. This thesis proposes the rehabilitation of Nickler in German literary history. His work, consisting mainly of travelogues, achieves a stylistic distinction comparable to that of Heinrich Heine, and depicts events, places and people with a political and social perception that shows him to have been far ahead of his time. Nickler has always been a controversial figure. Though seen by some of his contemporaries as one of Germany's most influential and eloquent liberal travelogue-writers, he was also denounced as a second-rate poet who pandered to the aristocracy. As far as it exists, modern Nickler scholarship grants his work its deserved position in the genre of travel literature, but does not fully recognize its importance as politically and socially committed writing.
For most of his life Pückler was interested in social and political questions. During his travels in Great Britain (1826-1828), documented in the Briefe eines Verstorbenen, he was introduced to the English political system. Henceforth, he proclaimed the need for a German constitutional monarchy. While travelling in Ireland he witnessed the struggle of the Irish people and became a strong supporter of the Irish emancipation movement. In Germany, he came in close contact with the group of writers known as "Junges Deutschland." Their writings were outlawed by the authorities in 1835, because of their treatment of political issues ranging from freedom of the press, autonomy of the universities, and constitutional questions, to the need for greater social justice. When he raised these issues in Tutti Frutti (1834), Nickler narrowly escaped a ban on the publication of his works, for some reactionary circles considered him a liberal agitator. Indeed, both Nickler's early pieces and his later work, such as the travel narrative Süd Ostlicher Bildersaal(1840), depicting the Wittelsbacher reign in Greece and the author’s association with the autocratic King of the Greeks, Otto I, demonstrate liberal conviction and progressive political thinking. This thesis examines critically Nickler's writings about England, Ireland, Germany und Greece, traces the author’s attitudes towards historical circumstances and personages and argues for the importance of his work and for its location close to that of other "Young German" writers, such as Heine, Borne or Herwegh.

Full textAbstract:
Les récits autobiographiques modernes se distinguent par
leur hétérogénéité non seulement entre eux rnais à l’intérieur de
chaque texte. Trois textes, de facture autobiographique
équivoque, ont été choisis comme objets de cette étude parce
qu’ils illustrent cette hétérogénéité inter/intra-textuelle.
La Détresse et l’enchantement, de Gabrielle Roy,
représente le récit autobiographique supposérnent conventionnel,
garantissant la ‘véracité’ de son discours narratif par un
certain pacte de lecture; pourtant ce texte révèle une dimension
romanesque. Les Mots pour le dire, par contre, récit à saveur de
confidence de Marie Cardinal, est ambivalent dès le départ quant
à son statut: ii bascule entre des éléments romancés et les
souvenirs vérifiables, “événements vécus”, selon l’auteure.
Enfin, Les Samourals, roman à clefs de Julia Kristeva, s’éloigne
du récit-mémoires, rnais est lu comme une autobiographie à peine
voilée à cause des éléments correspondant à la vie de l’auteure.
La juxtaposition de ces trois récits montre que chaque texte se
situe à un point mobile sur un spectrum entre deux pôles
également impossibles à circonscrire—la fiction ou la ‘vérité’
pure. La fonction plutôt que la structure ou le style du texte
importe ici; esthétique dans le cas de Roy, thérapeutique chez
Cardinal et critique pour Kristeva.
L’autobiographie romancée, genre hybride ou “métissé”, est
privilégiée par ces écrivaines, toutes les trois déplacées
géographiquement et linguistiquement, ayant vécu un “métissage”
culturel. Le déplacement, associé à l’étrangeté, intervient dans
le récit et dans la narration pour engendrer un rnouvement
discursif où la différence entre le même et l’autre, entre l’ici
et l’ailleurs, étoffe la structure du texte. Les trois
écrivaines choisissent d’écrire en français, mais se considèrent
étrangères à la France. Pour ces femmes, leur ‘féminité’ (aussi
bien que leur exil) entre en jeu dans leur projet
autobiographique, cette double altérité se prolongeant dans
l’aliénation du moi/elle que produit la dimension fictive du
récit. L’analyse de ces trois récits montrera d’abord comment la
fiction s’immisce nécessairement dans le discours du ‘moi’
dédoublé et finit par imposer une texture/un métissage inhérent
et essentiel à sa facture. Par ailleurs, l’altérité, envisagée
sous le jour de l’étrangeté des autres et de soi—même, prend une
importance capitale dans le projet identitaire de ces auteures
expatriées. Enfin, l’écriture de ces trois femrnes conscientes de
leur féminité s’avère aussi individuelle que celle des
autobiographes masculins. Les trois parlent de leur rapport à la
mère/la maternité, mais leurs récits révélent des divergences
marquées par leur milieu, leur contexte socio—historique et leur
relation à la psychanalyse. Le passé qu’elles évoquent est
simple, imparfait ou composé, selon la fonction gui prime dans
le texte.
Ce que les trois auteures partagent, cest un désir de se
raconter et une foi dans le texte écrit comme moyen d’atteindre
l’autre à travers soi—même et soi—même à travers l’autre.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis deals with one major issue of how the amaXhosa authors reflect change and transition in the lives of their characters in the period under consideration. This change pertains both to the socio-politico-economic life of the people concerned and the contents of the books and the style of the authors' writings. The study is ground-breaking in that it goes beyond common dissection of the structural elements of the books to a synthetic study of their themes, subject matter, character portrayal and setting. The primary aim is to give a holistic overview of the changing culture of the black people against the backdrop of subjugation and transformation.
