Abstract:
This dissertation examines the published and unpublished work to date by Australian author Eleanor Dark (1901-1985). It discusses quite divergent aspects of Dark's work, ranging from her engagement with modernist writing styles to her interest in ecology and, in so doing, offers quite diverse perspetives on Australian women's writing in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s.
In this discussion, I consider Dark as a transitional author who deployed differing narrative modes, from realism to modernism, but also as an itnellectual writer who undertakes an ideological enquiry into her vision of an Australian 'nation.' In this study, I trace the ways in which Dark's writing has been eclipsed by a confluence of political machinations, literary critical strategies and, so some extent, the perceptions permitted by Dark herself. The dissertation calls attention to the tensions and ambivalences associated with creative aspiration in a period of accelerating change. In this examination certain feminist and cultural studies stragegies take precedence. The study endeavours to extend existing Dark criticism by focussing on the connections between, on the one hand, her varied writing techniques and thematic interests and, on the other, the wider perspectives of a newly-constituted nation's engagement with modernity.

O'Reilly, Helen Edna English Media & Performing Arts Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences UNSW. "Time and memory in the novels of Eleanor Dark." Publisher:University of New South Wales. English, Media, & Performing Arts, 2009. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/43355.
Abstract:
In this thesis I will demonstrate that Eleanor Dark's over-riding themes are time and memory. Time informs the structure of her novels, she juxtaposes past and present. Memory in all its aspects, personal, cultural, racial dominates both her contemporary novels and The Timeless Land trilogy. The thesis considers Dark's fiction in sequence to chart her treatment of time and memory. Simultaneously Dark was reaching into her own reservoir ofmemory and transfiguring her own experience in the characters, events and locations of her novels. In this oblique way, and through this unique form of modelling, Dark reveals little known areas of her life. Biographically Dark remains elusive; the surface events of her life are well documented but do not account for the drama of her character portrayals, the immediacy of her perceptions of the natural world, her deep intellectual responses to art, literature and politics, as well as her preoccupation with time. It is my contention that Dark's creative thrust was inwards; she developed the inner processes of memory and imagination. Time and memory cohere in her novels; under scrutiny they bring new interpretations to her work, and new insights into her life.

Abstract:
The voices of black women have traditionally been excluded from rhetorical scholarship, both as a subject of study and as a methodological approach. Despite the little attention black feminist thought has received, black women have long been articulating the unique intersection of oppressions they face and have been developing critical epistemologies.This study analyzes the National Press Club address given by NOW President Eleanor Smeal utilizing a black feminist methodological approach. The study constructs a black feminist theory for the communication discipline and applies it to a discursive artifact from the women's liberation movement. The implications of the study include the introduction of a new methodological approach to the communication discipline that can expand the liberatory reach of its scholarship.

In this research, we aim to analyze how literature, memory, identity and history are interwoven in Eleanor Marx, Karl´s daughter, the corpus of our research, and reflect on how was Eleanor Marx´s identity construction process, what is the importance of memory in this process and how is the relationship between history and literature in the narrative. From the general objective, we´ve established as specific objectives: i) to unravel the social place that the narrative occupies on the border of history/literature, and the ideological aspects that affect on the construction of the character´s identity; ii) to verify how occur the identity processes of the fictional character Eleanor in the corpus and its relationship with memory and psychological space; iii) to reflect on the historical and social time of Victorian Era and the representation of the female likeness and Eleanor´s role in this context; iv) to discuss how biography and fiction are interwoven in the narrative, constituting it as a biographical narrative; and v) to analyze the possible reasons that led the character to commit suicide.To achieve the specified objectives, we propose to answer the following questions: i)How is the constitution process of the character Eleanor Marx and her identity processes in the narrative, recognizing the memory as constitutive of these processes?; ii) How, on the border of history/literature, established by the narrative, builds up Eleanor´identity, in a context characterized by traditionalism and by the working class fight for the ideals?; iii) What is the social place the character takes up in this historic setting and what ideological and historical elements influence on their identity processes? Throughout the research, the concepts of identity, memory, history, literature and fiction were recurrent, and we consider that they are necessary for the analysis of the narrative and of the cutouts that guided the research. We understand, at the end of the study, that ideology was central in the construction of the character´s identity, whereas her reaction to the sociopolitical context, established by the inequality that marked that time, was part of the whole process of identity construction. Additionally, the romance presents a fictional narrative mixed by historical official facts and reveals Eleanor as a strong, educated and fighter woman, that also has a sensitive and needy of love and affection side. She is therefore, an incomplete subject, that feels weakened by a series of factors occurred in her life, as the disappointments with the divisions and ruptures of the socialist movement, the distance from friends and family, the death of her loved ones, the physical and emotional exhaustion of the last few months, the sleeplessness, the loneliness. Finally, we conclud that there was a conjuncture of factors that led the character Eleanor to commit suicide.
O objetivo da pesquisa proposta é analisar como literatura, memória, identidade e história se entrecruzam no corpus Eleanor Marx, filha de Karl; um romance, de Maria José Silveira e refletir sobre como se deu o processo de construção identitária de Eleanor Marx, qual a importância da memória nesse processo e como se dá a relação entre história e literatura na obra. A partir do objetivo geral, estabelecemos como objetivos específicos: i) desvelar o lugar social que a obra ocupa no limiar história/literatura e os aspectos ideológicos que exercem influxos sobre a construção da identidade da personagem; ii) escrutinar como se dão os processos identitários da personagem de ficção Eleanor no corpus e sua relação com a memória e o espaço psicológico; iii) refletir sobre o momento histórico e social da Era Vitoriana e a representação da figura feminina e qual o papel de Eleanor nesse contexto; iv) discutir sobre como biografia e ficção se imbricam na obra, constituindo-a como um romance biográfico; e v) analisar os possíveis motivos que levaram a personagem ao suicídio. Para alcançarmos os objetivos elencados, propomo-nos a responder às seguintes questões: i) Como ocorre o processo de constituição da personagem Eleanor Marx e seus processos identitários na obra, reconhecendo-se a memória enquanto constitutiva desses processos?; ii) Como, no limiar história/literatura, instaurado pela obra em análise, constrói-se a identidade da personagem Eleanor, num contexto marcado pelo tradicionalismo e pela luta pelos ideais da classe operária?; iii) Qual o lugar social ocupado pela personagem nesse cenário histórico e que elementos ideológicos e históricos incidem sobre seus processos identitários? Foram recorrentes, ao longo da pesquisa, os conceitos de identidade, memória, história, literatura e ficção, os quais consideramos necessários para a análise da obra e dos recortes que balizaram a pesquisa. Entendemos, ao final do estudo, que a ideologia foi fundamental para a construção da identidade da personagem, afinal, sua reação frente ao contexto sociopolítico, instaurado pela desigualdade que marcou aquela época, fez parte de todo seu processo de construção identitária. Além disso, o romance apresenta uma narrativa ficcional mesclada por fatos históricos oficiais e revela Eleanor como uma mulher forte, culta, lutadora, mas que também possui um lado sensível e carente de amor e afeto. Ela é, portanto, um sujeito incompleto, que se sente fragilizada por uma série de fatores que foram ocorrendo em sua vida, como as decepções com as cisões e rupturas do movimento socialista, seu distanciamento dos amigos e dos familiares, a morte dos seus entes queridos, o esgotamento físico e emocional dos últimos meses, a insônia, a solidão. Enfim, ao encerrarmos a pesquisa, concluímos que houve uma conjuntura de fatores que conduziram a personagem Eleanor ao suicídio.

Abstract:
This project investigated the fundamental principles of the Theory of Island Biogeography. How biodiversity is influenced by habitat age, size, isolation and quality was studied in two little-known ecosystems; pumice-rafted marine communities that travel through the Pacific Ocean and strand on shorelines, and Queensland's critically endangered Melaleuca irbyana forests. This research found that while habitat age, size and isolation were important for species richness; habitat quality, defined by resource availability and climate, was more influential for predicting biodiversity levels. Small pumice stones and small remnant forests can provide the conditions species need to prosper. Therefore, small and isolated habitats are also important to conserve.

Noble, Jenny Austin School of English UNSW. "Representations of the mother-figure in the novels of Katharine Susannah Prichard and Eleanor Dark." Awarded by:University of New South Wales. School of English, 2005. http://handle.unsw.edu.au/1959.4/23897.
Abstract:
This thesis argues that through bringing together two branches of inquiry???the literary work of Katharine Susannah Prichard and Eleanor Dark and socio-feminist theory on health, contagion and the female body???the discursive body of the mother-figure in their novels serves as a trope through which otherwise unspoken tensions???between the personal and the political, between family and nation and between identity and race in Australian cultural formation???are explored. The methodology I use is to analyse the literary mother-figure through a ???discourse on health??? from a soma-political, socio-cultural and historical perspective which sought to categorise, regulate and discipline women???s lives to ensure that white women conformed to their designated roles as mothers and that they did so within the confines of marriage. The literary mother-figure, as represented in Prichard???s and Dark???s novels, is frequently at odds with the culturally constructed mother-figure as represented in political and religious discourses, and in popular forms of culture such as advertising, film and women???s magazines. This culturally constructed ???ideal??? mother-figure is intimately linked to nationalist discourses of racial hygiene, of Christian morality, and of civic and social order controlled by such patriarchal institutions as the state, the church, the law and the medical professions during the period under review. This is reflected in Prichard???s and Dark???s inter-war novels which embody unresolved tensions in a way that challenges representations of the mother-figure by mainstream culture. However, their post-war novels show a greater compliance with nationalist ideologies of the good and healthy mother-figure who conforms more closely with an idealised notion of motherhood, leading up to the 1950s. Through a detailed analysis of the two writers??? changing representations of the mother-figure, I argue that the mother-figure is a key trope through which unspoken tensions and forces that have shaped (and continue to shape) Australian culture and society can be understood.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Patrick ManeyAmong American First Ladies, one presidential wife in particular consistently ranks among one of the most influential women to hold the office. Eleanor Roosevelt’s precedent-setting tenure in the White House established a lasting legacy that influenced many of the women who followed her. Two of these First Ladies, Betty Ford and Rosalynn Carter, are often overlooked in comparative studies of Eleanor Roosevelt with other presidential wives. Scholars typically highlight Hillary Rodham Clinton or Lady Bird Johnson, neglecting the First Ladyships of Ford and Carter. These two women, however, both pointed to Eleanor Roosevelt as an inspiration for their approach to the office. Both Betty Ford and Rosalynn Carter incorporated three main components of Eleanor Roosevelt’s impressive legacy into their tenures as First Lady of the United States: an ever-expanding public role, increased independence, and launching initiatives concerned with social welfare to improve the lives of their fellow Americans. All of these actions can be traced back to Roosevelt’s innovative First Ladyship and their appearance in the successive Ford and Carter administrations highlight the interconnectedness of all three First Ladies and their considerable impact on their country both during and after their time in the White House

Abstract:
Partant du fait que l'autoportrait est un genre que les femmes artistes ont privilégié, principalement Sofonisba Anguissola, Angelica Kaufmann et Eleanor Antin, nous nous serons demande si, parce qu'il leur était difficile de prendre place dans l'histoire, l'autoportrait ne figurait pas comme représentant singulier de la contribution des femmes artistes dans l'histoire. Présentant l'histoire de l'art des femmes qui s'est écrit jusqu'à maintenant, nous nous situerons par rapport à cette histoire relevant les pièges qu'une telle histoire peut comporter mais ses intérêts aussi, du fait qu'elle considère spécialement un type donne de productions. Chaque temps dans l'histoire comporte des particularités, chaque artiste, chaque œuvre également; aussi nous essaierons de situer l'artiste, et son œuvre dans son contexte, demeurant consciente néanmoins que notre regard actuel a le désavantage de toujours se faire sentir, mais cet avantage aussi d'avoir un recul face aux artistes, aux œuvres. La représentation de l'artiste dans l'œuvre, sa manière de figurer, ses traits, ses mises en scène constituant nos intérêts premiers, nous privilégierons la lecture des œuvres, en fait des autoportraits, pour aborder, comprendre et exprimer des contributions particulières. De la ressortiront des particularités singulières et des façons de prendre (ou non) place dans l'histoireStarting from the fact that the self-portrait is a genre that is privileged by women artists, and particularly by Sofonisba Anguissola, Angelica Kauffmann, and Eleanor Antin, we will try to see if, because it is difficult for women to find a place in history, the self-portrait figures as a singular representative of women artists contribution in history. We will present and take position relatively to the writing of women art history up to the present; we will indicate the traps that such an history contains, and try to see why it is specially interested in considering a given type of productions. Each time in history has its particularities, each artist, each work also; thus we will try to situate the artist and her work in her context, while being aware that our actual outlook has the disadvantage of always making itself felt, but the advantage also of a gain in perspective relatively to the artist and works. Our prime interest will be in the representation of the artist in her work, the manner in which she figures in it, her features, her settings. Our method will be to read the works, i. E. , the self-portraits in order to grasp, to understand and to express particular contributions from this should emerge singular particularities and ways in which one takes (or doesn’t take) a place in History

Bowie, Colette Marie. "The daughters of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine : a comparative study of twelfth-century royal women." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2011. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3177/.
Abstract:
This thesis compares and contrasts the experiences of the three daughters of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. Matilda, Leonor and Joanna all undertook exogamous marriages which cemented dynastic alliances and furthered the political and diplomatic ambitions of their parents. Their later choices with regards religious patronage, as well as the way they and their immediate families were buried, seem to have been influenced by their natal family, suggesting a coherent sense of family consciousness. To discern why this might be the case, an examination of the childhoods of these women has been undertaken, to establish what emotional ties to their natal family may have been formed at this time. The political motivations for their marriages have been analysed, demonstrating the importance of these dynastic alliances, as well as highlighting cultural differences and similarities between the courts of Saxony, Castile, Sicily and the Angevin realm. Dowry and dower portions are important indicators of the power and strength of both their natal and marital families, and give an idea of their access to economic resources which could provide financial means for patronage. The thesis then examines the patronage and dynastic commemorations of Matilda, Leonor and Joanna, in order to discern patterns or parallels. Their possible involvement in the burgeoning cult of Thomas Becket, their patronage of Fontevrault Abbey, the names they gave to their children, and finally where and how they and their immediate families were buried, suggests that all three women were, to varying degrees, able to transplant Angevin family customs to their marital lands. The resulting study, the first of its kind to consider these women in an intergenerational context, advances the hypothesis that there may have been stronger emotional ties within the Angevin family than has previously been allowed for.

Cooper, Melinda Joy. "Middlebrow modernism: negotiating colonial modernity, regional cosmopolitanism and liberal humanism in the interwar fiction of Eleanor Dark." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/20646.
Abstract:
This thesis argues that Eleanor Dark’s mid-century writing is important for the study of Australian literature, global modernism and world literature. Focusing on the five novels that she wrote between the two world wars, Slow Dawning (1932), Prelude to Christopher (1934), Return to Coolami (1936), Sun Across the Sky (1937) and Waterway (1938), I show that Dark’s interwar fiction brings into the field of modernism studies a number of important engagements that modernism and modernity have traditionally been defined against, including colonialism, regionalism, nationalism, commercial culture, the middlebrow, and liberal humanism. Dark’s writing has the potential to defamiliarise our understandings of modernism and expand our conceptions of how modernity was experienced, translated and mediated in and across various locations in the mid-century period. Employing the middlebrow tactics of balancing and mediating, Dark’s work negotiates a ‘middle’ space between a number of seemingly-opposing aesthetic and ideological positions. Her interwar fiction combines elements of high modernism with popular cultural forms, particularly romance, in what can be described as a unique accommodation of ‘middlebrow modernism.’ Dark also balances cosmopolitan commitments with more place-based attachments to nation and local community, seeking to reconcile the two through a position of ‘regional cosmopolitanism.’ Her fiction brings together experimental modernist narrative techniques with liberal humanist ideas, and in doing so, points to an important and under-examined relationship between the two. In each of these cases, Dark’s ‘middle’ position has important implications for challenging binary approaches that have too often structured accounts of twentieth-century Australian literature, and of modernism/modernity more generally. Rather than an either/or approach to culture and aesthetics, her work suggests a relational and dialogic one, and calls for a similarly agile methodology that is capable of balancing a transnational paradigm with one that is sensitive to regional and national differences.

Abstract:
This thesis examines three works: Margaret Atwood's The Robber Bride and Alias Grace, and Angela Carter's Nights at the Circus. All three novels feature female characters that contain elements or myth fragments of mermaids and sirens. The thesis asserts that the images of the mermaid and siren have undergone a gradual process of change, from literal mythical figures, to metaphorical images, and then to figures or myth fragments that reference the original mythical figures. The persistence of these female half-human images points to an underlying rationale that is independent of historical and cultural factors. Using feminist psychoanalytic theoretical frameworks, the thesis identifies the existence of the siren/mermaid myth fragments that are used as a means to construct the category of the 'bad' woman. It then identifies the function that these references serve in the narrative and in the broader context of both Victorian and contemporary societies. The thesis postulates the origin of the mermaid and siren myths as stemming from the ambivalent relationship that the male infant forms with the mother as he develops an identity as an individual. Finally, the thesis discusses the manner in which Atwood and Carter build on this foundation to deconstruct the binary oppositions that disadvantage women and to expand the category of female.

Abstract:
Afrikaans: Die aard, oorsprong, relevansie en hersiening van literere kanons in 'n snel veranderende wereld
is tans, nie net in Suid-Afrika nie, maar internasionaal 'n uiters aktuele saak. Oproepe om
kanonhersiening word tans nie net uit die geledere van tradisionele minderheidsgroepe (socs
vroue en swartmense) gehoor nie, maar ook vanuit establishment-geledere.
In hierdie studie word die kanonisering van die Afrikaanse vroulike prosa-outeur tussen die
dertiger- en negentigerjare vanuit 'n feministiese perspektief ondersoek. Orie voorbeelde van
vroulike outeurs as verteenwoordigers van verskillende literatuur'soorte" word ondersoek, naamlik
Hettie Smit ("ernstige" literatuur), die Klerewerkers (werkersliteratuur) en Eleanor Baker (goeie
gewilde literatuur). Daar word gepostuleer dat die vroulike prosa-outeur binne die Afrikaanse
literere sisteem steeds 'n mindere kanon- en kanoniseringstatus het, hoofsaaklik as gevolg van
patriargale vooroordele. Voorts word gevra na maniere waarop s6 'n toedrag van sake gewysig
kan word.
Die bevindings kan heel moontlik op Afrikaanse vroulike prosa-outeurs in die algemeen betrekking
he. Die volgende stellings word bevestig:
i. Vroulike prosa-outeurs geniet steeds mindere kanon- en kanoniseringstatus in die
Afrikaanse literatuursisteem. Argumente wat die teendeel wil bewys, streef nie daarna om
enige dieperliggende problematiek te ontbloot nie. Die oppervlakkige aard van sulke
argumente word alleen duidelik wanneer bepaalde kontradiksies en polemieke random die
herskrywing van 'n bepaalde auteur aan die lig gebring word. Die herskrywing van Hettie
Smit as "vroulike aanvulling" by die manlike Dertigerdigters lei daartoe dat Sy kom met die
sekelmaan selfstandige kanonstatus ontbeer, terwyl die "gehalte" -argument in die geval
van die Klerewerkers politieke en ideologiese faktore verberg. Die tipering van Baker se
produkte as (goeie) "middelmoot" of "populere" tekste, verberg die marginalisering daarvan.
ii. Die bestaan van vroulike outeurs wat nie in die kanon opgeneem is nie, en dus geen
kanonstatus het nie, kan aangedui word. Die Klerewerkersliteratuur is 'n sprekende
voorbeeld van hierdie soort afwesigheid.
iii. Die status quo met betrekking tot die vroulike auteur se posisie ten opsigte van Afrikaanse
kanons is onaanvaarbaar vanuit 'n feministiese perspektief. Die historiese posisie van die vrou binne die Afrikaanse literatuur is veral onaanvaarbaar - sy is feitlik afwesig uit die
vroee geskiedskrywing van ons literatuur. Die eietydse situasie met betrekking tot
kanonisering is binne die feministiese raamwerk van pogings tot verandering, ook nog lank
nie aanvaarbaar nie. Aandag behoort geskenk te word aan die daarstelling van 'n vroulike
tradisie binne die kader van die Afrikaanse literatuur, waarbinne outentieke "vroulike"
norme vir literatuur, eerder as die tradisioneel "manlike" norme sal geld. S6 'n vroulike
tradisie behoort volgens die riglyne van oorsese feministiese ondersoekers
ge'implementeer te word; ook sal dit 'n heeltemal ander karakter he as die paternalistiese
nie-outentieke "vroulike" kategorie. 'n Afsonderlike tradisie sal eerder bevrydend as
onderdrukkend wees, en kan modelle daarstel vir verdere teksproduksies deur vroue.
iv. Die sogenaamde multifunksionele benadering kan op teoretiese vlak die kanonisering van
verskillende literatuur''soorte" beskryf en verklaar, en kan op praktiese vlak dien as riglyn
vir kanoniseringsprosesse.
Die regstelling van patriargale herskrywings moet as prioriteit beskou word. Slegs op hierdie
manier kan ('n) algemeen aanvaarbare en verteenwoordigende, asook teoreties-gefundeerde
kanon/s van Afrikaanse literatuur werklikheid word.English: The nature, origins, relevance and revision of literary canons in a fast-changing world is at present a most topical concern, not only in South Africa, but also internationally. Calls for the revision of canons are heard not only from the ranks of traditional minority groups but also from establishment-ranks. In this study the canonisation of the Afrikaans female prose author in the years between the thirties and the nineties is examined from a feminist perspective. Three examples of female authors representing three "kinds11 of literature are examined, namely Hettie Smit ("serious11 literature), the Garment Workers (workers' literature) and Eleanor Baker (good popular literature). It is postulated that the female prose author within the Afrikaans literary system still has an inferior canon and canonisation status, mainly as a result of patriarchal prejudices. Ways in which such a state of affairs can be remedied are examined. On the strength of the results of the investigations the following premises can be confirmed: i. Female prose authors still have an inferior canon and canonisation status in the Afrikaans literary system. Arguments that attempt to prove the opposite do not strive after revealing any more deep-seated problem. The superficial nature of such arguments only becomes clear when specific contradictions and polemics around the rewriting of a certain author are brought to light. The rewriting of Hettie Smit as female supplement to the male Dertiger poets has resulted in her text being denied independent canon status, while the argument of "quality'' has obscured political and ideological factors in the case of the Garment Workers. The characterisation of Baker's products as (good) "popular" texts obscures the marginalisation thereof. ii. It is possible to point out female authors who have been excluded from the canon, thus lacking any canon status. The Garment Workers' literature is an example of this kind of absence. iii. The status quo regarding the position of the female author with reference to Afrikaans canons is unacceptable from a feminist perspective. Especially unacceptable is the historical position of women - they are virtually absent from the early historiography of Afrikaans literature. The contemporary situation is likewise unacceptable within a feminist framework. Attention should be paid to the establishment of a female tradition within the cadre of Afrikaans literature; within which authentic ''female" norms for literature rather than traditional "masculine" norms will operate. A female tradition should be implemented along guiding lines laid down by overseas feminist researchers, resulting in a character completely different from that of the paternalistic non-authentic "feminine" category. A separate tradition would be liberating rather than oppressing, and could set up models for further text productions by women. iv. At a theoretical level the multifunctional approach could describe and explain the canonisation of various kinds of literature, and at a practical level serve as a guideline for canonisation processes. The rectification of patriarchal rewritings should be regarded as a priority. Only in this way can (a) generally accepted and representative, as well as theoretically founded canon( s) of Afrikaans literature become a reality.

The present work aims to discuss the general theme of the subject of human rights, and in particular, search to answer the question: who is the subject of human rights in the 1950 - 1960. Therefore, the emphasis is placed both in the trajectory life and the construction of the subject as Eleanor Roosevelt in political networks that made possible the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948. A dialogue is established between the Autobiography of Eleanor Roosevelt and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, two of the main sources used in this study. The objective is then to identify who is the subject of human rights in after World War II, starting dialogue between these two sources. At the same time make an evaluation of the historical, legal and philosophical transformations driven by new project of nascent human rights after conflicts from World War II.
O presente trabalho pretende dissertar sobre a temática do sujeito dos direitos humanos em geral, e em particular, busca responder à pergunta: quem é o sujeito dos direitos humanos nas décadas de 1950 a 1960. Para tanto, a ênfase é colocada tanto na trajetória de vida e na construção do sujeito Eleanor Roosevelt quanto nas redes políticas que tornaram possível a elaboração da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos de 1948. Um diálogo é estabelecido entre a Autobiografia de Eleanor Roosevelt e a Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, duas das principais fontes utilizadas neste estudo. O objetivo deste trabalho é então identificar quem é o sujeito dos direitos humanos no pós-Segunda Guerra, a partir do diálogo entre essas duas fontes. Ao mesmo tempo fazer uma avaliação das transformações históricas, jurídicas e filosóficas impulsionadas pelo novo projeto de direitos humanos nascente após os conflitos da Segunda Guerra Mundial.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the cultural politics of a small group of women through their writing and other activities in 1880s London. Focussed on Olive Schreiner, Eleanor Marx and Amy Levy and the connections they had to one another and to other women, such as Henrietta Frances Lord, Clementina Black and Henrietta Müller, it explores key events in their everyday lives, the writings and texts they produced. It analyses a wide selection of textual sources, re-reading these for small details, intertextual connections and points of disjuncture, to allow for different ways of understanding the mechanics of feminist cultural politics as produced and performed by these interconnected women. Small things in texts can be revealing about such women’s everyday lives and connectedly the cultural politics which underpinned their actions, thus contributing to knowledge about how writing was used strategically and imaginatively to challenge, side-step and overcome oppression and inequality, in these years in London and after. Using the term ‘writing’ in a broad sense to include letters and diaries and other archival sources such as newspaper articles, reviews and manuscript drafts, as well as some selected published work and biographies, the thesis is anchored around four event-driven investigations: Olive Schreiner being accosted by a policeman; the first public performance of Ibsen’s A Doll’s House; the writing of a letter mentioning Eleanor Marx; and, the death of Amy Levy. Relatedly, there are discussions concerning working with historical documents, documenting and archiving the past, researching and representing the past in the present. These investigations allow for the operationalization of a research approach framed by ideas concerning micro, small-scale, everyday life and its qualitative aspects, which together contribute to a re-conceptualisation of a ‘sociology of small things.’ Specifically, it is argued that close and small-scale studies of women’s writing, whether undertaken alone or connected to others, sheds light on the importance of relationship dynamics in connection with writing output, on what writing was produced and what role each text played in larger scale political agendas. Concepts such as palimpsest, liminality and bricolage are interrogated with respect to researching and representing the spatial and temporal interconnectedness of the selected authors and textual sources. And contributions are made to contemporary thinking about epistolarity and social networks, focussing on reciprocity, gift-giving and receiving and notions of ‘letterness,’ along with the defining of boundaries, and the value of determining the nature of ties between women. The thesis also argues that the relationships between intimacy and distance, interiority and exteriority, public and private, are frayed with complicated overlaps.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to uncover new forms of humanism grounded in a critique of systems that produce and reify race and gender by staging a conversation between six contemporary works of science fiction (SF) written by women from Italy, France, Spain, and the UK, and five acclaimed theorists in the fields of gender, queer, postcolonial, humanist, and cultural studies: Judith Butler, Rosi Braidotti, Gayatri Spivak, Paul Gilroy, and Jack Halberstam. As outlined in the second chapter, I focus, in particular, on Butler’s conception of subjects who ‘become’ through affective encounters, Braidotti’s critical posthumanism, Spivak and Gilroy’s respective notions of ‘planetarity,’ and Halberstam’s theory of a ‘queer art of failure.’ In doing so, this thesis asserts the complementarity of academic and science fictional enquiries into what I view as examples of new forms of humanism that arise from historicised interrogations of systems of race and gender. The first chapter introduces the way in which SF appeals to women writers who embrace the genre’s political energy and its anti-racist, anti-sexist, and humanistic potential by tracing a genealogy of European women’s SF from the seventeenth century to the present day. The second half of the thesis reads examples of politically charged SF from my corpus alongside the critical theory outlined in the second chapter, in order to demonstrate how SF engages with new forms of humanism through a critique and reformulation of issues of race and gender. I follow this analysis with an exploration of the way in which SF’s unique spatial attributes can probe the borders of the planetary humanisms or ‘planetarity’ proposed by Gilroy and Spivak. I finally assess, by way of a conclusion, the extent to which SF can reassemble and amplify the achievements of these new forms of anti-racist and anti-sexist humanism.

Abstract:
Resumo: Na Odisseia, de Homero, Penélope se destaca como personagem de grande influência no enredo, ao mesmo tempo catalisadora da crise em Ítaca e protetora do lar do marido. Caracterizada repetidamente como prudente e dúbia, a personagem deu vazão a diferentes leituras e interpretações críticas e literárias ao longo do tempo. Em A odisseia de Penélope, romance publicado por Margaret Atwood em 2005, Penélope e as escravas mortas por Telêmaco ressurgem como narradoras com ponto de vista próprio, donas da história, retomando o enredo clássico por meio de vozes femininas e marginais. Em uma disputa metaficcional, as narradoras sobrepõem experiências e opiniões, buscando ter a última palavra. A partir da análise e da comparação dessas duas obras, o presente trabalho busca traçar paralelos que indiquem semelhanças e diferenças na caracterização da personagem Penélope nesses textos, examinando seus papéis e como o processo de paródia e reescrita a transformou do épico clássico à produção pós-moderna.

Abstract:
Il problema della categorie logiche è stato affrontato fin dall’antichità greca, principalmente ad opera di Aristotele, ma è nel Novecento che l’interesse per lo studio dei processi di categorizzazione ha avuto uno sviluppo decisivo. A partire dalle analisi filosofiche di Wittgenstein nella prima metà del secolo scorso, si è arrivati negli anni ‘60 e ‘70 a un approccio empirico nello studio dei modi in cui l’essere umano interpreta e concettualizza il mondo circostante. Ogni volta che parliamo, applichiamo un preciso processo cognitivo per individuare, definire, organizzare gli elementi del discorso, sia a livello linguistico che a livello concettuale. Questo elaborato intende riassumere gli approcci principali allo studio e alle teorie di tale processo, mettendo in rilievo in particolare il ruolo dei modelli cognitivi nell’espressione linguistica. Il nostro utilizzo del linguaggio, infatti, è strettamente collegato a delle rappresentazioni concettuali dipendenti dal nostro ambiente, dalla nostra cultura e da altri fattori extralinguistici.

Abstract:
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis uses an analysis of Fay Weldon's Puffball and Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale to explore the construction of identity, particularly female identity. It takes into consideration the influence of both biology and culture on identity and explores how, within the context of the patriarchal societies depicted by the novels, female identity is closely linked to reproductive function. It examines how the construction of female identity based on reproductive function further objectifies the female body in society, and how it can aid patriarchal domination and oppression of women. The analysis of the novels draws on both essentialist and social constructionist feminist approaches to oppression and female identity. The essentialist approach views female biological difference (reproductive function) as responsible for the way in which women are oppressed. The social constructionist view argues that female oppression stems from the social construction of female identity around concepts of motherhood and femininity. The thesis takes both approaches into account as it seeks to explain how patriarchy oppresses women through the construction of female identity. The thesis also explores how control over the female body and identity can be exercised through reproductive technology. An examination of the role reproductive technology plays in contributing to patriarchal dominance, suggests that new technologies may compel women to conform to stereotypes of femininity based on pregnancy and motherhood. The thesis considers the impact infertility and the choice not to have children have on female identity and takes into account the options available to these women. The main focus, with regard to infertility and choice, is on the relationship between women who have children and those who do not. This thesis refutes the notion that there is solidarity between women based on shared childbearing experience, and focuses on the conflict that occurs between fertile and childless women. It finds that the conflict that occurs is a result of the socialisation of women into viewing motherhood as an essential aspect of 'normal' femininity. The thesis also considers what causes the desire to have children and finds that, as in the case of the conflict between women, it is as a result of socialisation and an innate/instinctual biological drive. The thesis investigates options available to women in order for them to avoid constructing their identities solely around their reproductive function. It considers the alternatives women are presented with when constructing their identity and how these may contribute to or liberate them from patriarchal oppression. If they choose to identify themselves using patriarchal norms, then they are contributing to their objectification; but if they choose to construct their identity on their own terms, and offer some resistance to patriarchal constructions, they will be more liberated than women who conform to stereotypes. Evidence of such resistance can be seen in both novels in the narrative structure the respective authors have chosen: just as the main characters subvert traditional stereotypes through the construction of their own identity, embracing female experience on their own terms, so do both authors subvert traditional narratives.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis is gegrond op die analisering van die novelle Puffball deur Fay Weldon en The Handmaid's Tale deur Margaret Atwood ter ondersoek van die konstruksie van identiteit, naamlik die vroulike identiteit. Die analise neem beide die biologiese en kulturele invloed van identiteit in ag, veral binne die konteks van die patriargale samelewing wat in novelles voorkom.Die wisselwerking tussen vroulike identiteit en die funksie van reproduksie word aangeraak. Die tesis ondersoek die wyse waarop die konstruksie van die vroulike identiteit gebasseer op die reproduksie funksie, verder die vroulike liggaam binne samelewingskonteks tipeer en hoe dit indirek patriargale dominansie ondersteun sowel as die onderdrukking van die vrou. Die analise van die novelles steun sterk op beide die essensialistiese en sosiale konstruksialistiese feministiese benaderings ten opsigte van onderdrukking en vroulike identiteit. Die essensialistiese benadering blameer die vroulike biologiese verskil, met verwysing na die reproduksie funksie, vir die wyse waarop die vrou onderdruk word. In kontras hiermee, argumenteer die sosiale konstruksialistiese seining dat vroulike onderdrukking voortspruit uit die sosiale konstruksie van vroulike identiteit binne die konsep van moederskap en vroulikheid. Die tesis neem beide standpunte in ag daar dit hom ten doel stelom te verduidelik waarom patriargie die vrou onderdruk deur die konstruksie van die vroulike identiteit. Die tesis fokus ook op die wyse waarop kontrole oor die vroulike liggaam en identiteit uitgeoefen kan word deur die reproduktiewe tegnologie. 'n Ondersoek na die rol wat reproduktiewe tegnologie speel ter ondersteuning van patriargale dominansie, argumenteer dat nuwe tegnologieë "Toue kan verplig tot die konformering van stereotipes van vroulikheid gebasseer op swangerskap en moederskap. Die analise neem ook die impak wat onvrugbaarheid op die vroulike identiteit het, in ag , sowel as die besluit om nie kinders te hê nie. Verder neem dit ook die verskeie opsies wat beskikbaar is vir die vrou wat daarteen besluit om kinders te hê, in ag, sover dit die konstruksie van identiteit raak. Die hooffokus met betrekking tot onvrugbaarheid en keuse, is gebasseer op die verhouding tussen vroue wat wel kinders het en diegene wat kinderloos is. Die tesis weerlê die idee dat daar solidariteit is tussen vroue gebasseer op gedeelde ervarings en gemeenskaplike doelwitte en begeertes en fokus op die konflik wat ontstaan tussen kinderlose en vrugbare vroue. Die ondersoek ondervind dat die konflik wat onstaan, 'n produk is van die sosialisering van vroue met die idee van moederskap as 'n essensiële aspek van "normale" vroulikheid. Die tesis ondersoek ook die oorsake van die begeerte om kinders te hê en ondervind dat, soos ook die geval met konflik, dit die produk is van sosialisering en instinktiefbiologies gedrewe is. Die tesis ondersoek die opsies beskikbaar vir die vrou ten einde haar te verhoed om die konstruksie van haar identiteit te grond alleenlik op die reproduktiewe funksie. Die analise neem die alternatiewe waarmee die vrou gekonfronteer word tydens die konstruksieproses, in aanmerking, en bevraagteken die wyse waarop hierdie alternatiewe kan bydra tot , of die bevryding van, die patriargale onderdrukking. Indien die vrou verkies om haarself te identifiseer deur patriargale norme te gebruik sal sy bydra tot haar objektivering binne die tradisionele patriargale konteks; maar indien sy kies om haar eie identiteit te konstruktueer volgens haar eie norme en terselfdertyd patriargale konstruksie teenstaan, sal sy meer geëmansipeerd wees as haar eweknie wat tot die stereotipe gekonformeer het. Deel van die weerstand wat voorkom in beide novelles, kan opgemerk word in die naratiewe struktuur gekies deur die skrywer. Paralelle word aangetref tussen enersyds, die wyse waarop die hoofkarakters hulself aan die tradisionele stereotipes ondermyn deur die konstruksie van hul eie identiteit, terselfdertyd deur die koestering van vroulike ervarings, en andersyds die wyse waarop beide skrywers hulself aan tradisionele naratiewe onderwerp.

Abstract:
In 1972, the campaign to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) began in the states. Many states quickly ratified the amendment but the ERA stalled fifteen states short of the necessary three-fourths to become part of the United States Constitution. Virginia was one of the states who did not ratify the amendment and this study examines the reasons why. Much like other southern states, conservative Virginia legislators wanted to maintain traditional gender roles. STOP ERA and other anti-ERA organizations mobilized before the proponents developed a unified campaign. Legislators were able to use the rules of the General Assembly to block serious consideration and ratification of the ERA. Proponents of the amendment started with an educational campaign but faced the problem of not being in a position to challenge the powerful conservative leaders in the General Assembly. They then shifted to a campaign based on electoral politics. However, the transition occurred too late to effect the outcome of ERA ratification in Virginia.

Abstract:
In this study of several novels each by Barbara Pym, Fay Weldon, and Margaret Atwood, I focus on two areas: the ways in which female protagonists break out of their victimization by individuals, by institutions, and by cultural tradition, and the ways in which each author uses a structural pattern in her novels to propel her characters to solve their dilemmas to the best of their abilities and according to each woman's personality and strengths.

Abstract:
My visual art practice explores the point at which a sense of bodily humour and revulsion may intersect in the world of the monstrous-feminine: the female grotesque, presented as my own obese (and post-obese) body. This exegesis is
a written elucidation of my visual art practice as research. As an artist I create performative photographic images featuring taboo or
otherwise 'inappropriate' subject matter, situations, materials and behaviours including bodily fluids, offal, internal organs and my own post-obese body. Through these modes of working, I establish and investigate the subjectivity of
flesh: Why are we repulsed by the female grotesque? How can this flesh be used to subvert readings of the female body? My research is informed by those understandings of the female body, sexuality and difference described in the work of feminist theorists including Julia Kristeva, Helene Cixous, Ruth Salvaggio and Elizabeth Grosz. I explore the work of influential artists such as Eleanor Antin, Carolee Schneeman, Cindy Sherman and Sarah Lucas. In this context, I present my own visual art practice as a point from which the monstrous-feminine can be given voice as sentient, intelligent flesh.
