Abstract:

Projektet är ett glasdesignprojekt där visionen var att ta fram en nyskapande belysningsarmatur för privat,

offentlig och exklusiv miljö.

Målet var att ta fram en nyskapande belysningsarmatur med avseende form, teknik och material med

möjlighet till rationell tillverkning. Syftet var att undersöka glasets möjligheter, begränsningar och uttryck genom en komplex form och specifika krav på utseende. Jag ville undersöka glasets möjligheter och

formbarhet. Hur mjukt och böljande går det att forma glaset? Kan glaset få samma mjukhet och svallande egenskaper som textil? Jag ville även undersöka hur ljuset påverkas av glasets form, tjocklek och färg.

I projektet har jag fått ta hänsyn till många olika parametrar så som tillverkningsteknik, ljuskälla, ljustyp, tekniska lösningar m.m. Jag har även fått kompromissa när det gäller form och storlek på mitt objekt p.g.a den korta tiden.

Objektet blåstes av Mikael Johansson i hyttan i Pukeberg.

This project is a glass design project with the vision to create a innovative armature for private, public and exclusive environment.

The goal was to create a innovative armature in meaning of form, technique and material with contingency of rational production. The aim was to examine the possiblities, limitations and expression of the glass through a complex form and specific demands of appearance. I wanted to examine the possibilities and formablity of the glass. How smooth and billow can the glass be formed? Can the glass get the same softness and billow

appearance as fabric? I also wanted to examine how light is affected by the shape, thickness and colour of the glass.

In these project I have had to take into concideration several parameters, like manufacturing techniques, light source, light type, technical solutions etc. I also have had to compromise concerning form and size of my object due to the short project time. The objects where blown by Mikael Johansson in the blowing room of Pukeberg.

Livingstone, Tessa. "Lady Grimm." PDXScholar, 2018. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4476.

Full text

Abstract:

Lady Grimm is a conceptual assemblage. A substrate of fairy tales, fables, and nursery rhymes provide a basis for transformative and macabre frames, specifically concerning a stillbirth in 1940s Scotland. The collection utilizes the folklore genre to navigate a world of uncertainty and realities too difficult for its speakers to face. It further critiques the assumption of voice being restricted to human cognition. Animalistic totems as sea lions, peacocks, rabbits, and iguanas are some of the spirits summoned in order to explore themes such as motherhood, irreversible loss, abandonment, and choice within choicelessness. The collection begins in tragedy but gestures toward redemption as it maneuvers through strange & haunting imagery, mystic & surreal narratives. Ultimately, Lady Grimm illuminates a path towards perseverance in a coldly indifferent world.

Abstract:

This story cycle focuses on the members of the Ordoñez family of Castroville, California from the time of the first generation’s migration from Mexico in the 1950s to the most recent generation who moves out of the town in the 2000s. “The Ordoñez Pride” shows the entire family as they experience a miracle. Cecilia, the matriarch, receives a belated wedding ring that bursts into flame that doesn’t burn her, but everything else it comes into contact with. The flame also magically sparks hers and her husband’s sex life into overdrive and, late in life, they produce three more children, for a total of nine. Following this framing story, we see snapshots of all the other family members at life-changing moments. In “After the Revolution” we see Ray Ordoñez , the family patriarch, grow from a boy into a man, as he defends his sister from what he perceives to be the American ranch owner practicing the right to first night—a custom that was still practiced in rural Mexico in the twentieth century. Eventually, Ray migrates to California and begins his family, becomes assimilated into American culture, and reluctantly welcomes an American boy—his oldest daughter’s boyfriend—into his household.

Abstract:

The Hat Lady Equation is a collection of poems by Lauren Capone. As influences she cites Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, among the exquisite minutiae of day-to-day living. The poems explore works of visual art by Alberto Giacometti, James Taylor Bonds, Chris Dennis, Blaine Capone (her brother), and creatures of the natural world including fish, the rhinoceros, a lettered olive shell. . . . Lauren shows a preoccupation with disassembling through the poems whether it's her identity, art, or happenings of everyday life.

Kern, Meghan. "The Lady Markham Elegies." VCU Scholars Compass, 2019. https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/5863.

Full text

Abstract:

This project studies the contemporary manuscript transmission of three poems written on the 1609 death of Lady Bridget Markham. Lady Markham was the cousin of the influential courtier and patron Lucy, Countess of Bedford and her death prompted an outpouring of verses that were collected in manuscript verse miscellanies during the period. John Donne was in the process of establishing a patronage relationship with Lady Bedford at the time and wrote a respectful elegy on her cousin’s death. Francis Beaumont also wrote, for the same occasion, what has been called the most “repellent” work of the English Renaissance. That same year, Lady Bedford wrote an elegy on the death of another kinswoman, Cecilia Bulstrode, which several scribes redirected to Lady Markham. This project attends to the diverse ways contemporary verse collectors encountered, altered, and situated these poems, mediating the legacy of Markham’s death and Bedford’s patronage. The method for this project adapts elements of single-author critical editing to study the verses as a group. By organizing textual study around Lady Bedford and the death of Lady Markham, it reorients research away from the individual author towards the patron and her circle.

Abstract:

The subject of Lady Chapels and devotion to Our Lady in medieval churches is vast. This thesis investigates whether liturgical Marian observances required a particular setting or not, and the forms it might take. This is achieved by a careful selection of material that highlights the evolutionary development of the most influential physical manifestations of the cult of the Virgin and some of the more humble ones. Accordingly, attention has been focussed on three main areas that form the principal components of this study, Chapter one investigates the development and gradual inclusion of specifically Marian commemorations in the liturgical calendars that sustained the cult and fed its growth. Chapter two comprises case studies of Lady Chapels and other manifestations of the Marian cult in major churches. Each has been chosen to provide evidence of chronological and geographical diversity in terms of its respective contribution to the holistic picture, and /or because it has attracted little previous notice. In addition, the cumulative examination of the available material has permitted a degree of fresh and original insight. The third chapter focuses on the county of Northamptonshire in order to examine Lady Chapels and the cult of Mary in the context of the parish, in order to establish as accurately as possible the incidences of specifically Marian chapels and the degree to which devotion and the manner of its observance was manifest. The justifications for such a study are firstly, that it was at parish level that most people would have experienced and participated in any such observance, and secondly, that no countywide survey has previously been attempted. The conclusion draws the evidence together and argues that the veneration of Our Lady could take place in a variety of settings that reflected the diversity of Her cult.

Amundsen, Sarah Audine. "Lady Libertines, Female Fops, and Lady Julia Fulbank: Aphra Behn's Extraordinary Female Characters." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2011. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2653.

Full text

Abstract:

Aphra Behn has, throughout her life and subsequent years, been both demonized as a writer of bawdy and licentious plays and poetry as well as being hailed as the forerunner of female writers. She was a woman writing in a man's world, and not only survived the experience, but was exceptionally successful in her efforts. While so little is known about her background, the numerous plays she has left behind demonstrate a skilled author in many forms, as well as a creative and innovative storyteller. This thesis will examine how Behn used the traditional theatrical forms of the time and created dynamic female characters that were quite unique in their own ways. Stock characters were a standard in Restoration comedies, and she used these types to make significantly stronger female characters than those portrayed by her contemporary male playwrights. I will examine and compare her female libertines to the traditional male libertines in the plays The Rover or The Banish't Cavaliers and The Feign'd Curtizans or A Night's Intrigue. Following this, I will describe how her female fop in Sir Patient Fancy is so much superior to the customary male fop. The succeeding chapter will examine Lady Julia Fulbank from The Luckey Chance or An Alderman's Bargain and demonstrates how Behn was able to move outside of the traditional types of characters expected in these plays to create an entirely new character that has no counterpart in any Restoration play. Behn used the forms and tools available to her to create much more independent and dominant female characters than those expected in the genre. She created a voice for women, and the voice strongly declared that women were as capable, if not more so, than men.

Girard, Chris. "Lady/applicant : on the Lazarus." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2013. http://research.gold.ac.uk/7993/.

Abstract:

This research investigates the ‘performativity’ of the ‘author function’ through collaging the audio recordings of American poet Sylvia Plath. The ‘author function’ is a term by Michel Foucault to describe how readers attribute certain characteristics that they believe belong to the author and ascribe them to the writing. ‘Performativity’ is a term used by Judith Butler to describe a set of actions that ascribe and predetermine a set of attributes to a subject through his or her gender, age, timeframe, nationality and race. The ‘performativity’ of the ‘author function’ appropriates these characteristics and attributes them to the author. How the determination of an authorial identity translates to the interaction of the practice component of the project, which includes several components of digital collage, is through attributions that readers make in the creation of an author. The practice component of the project consists of the collage of audio and video recordings, the programming of video with Max/MSP/Jitter, ‘performative’ elements and collage poetry on Twitter. The audio component was collaged from two poems entitled ‘Lady Lazarus’ and ‘The Applicant’ that Plath read to the British Council in 1962 to form a new poem entitled Lady/Applicant: The Lazarus. The video component consists of collaging recorded video clips of storefront and street signs in Camden, London, where she is associated with living and committing suicide at. A second video collage entitled Shadows/Shadows/Tomb takes place at a cemetery close to my residence in 2011 and documents symbols of death that reference my own authorial identity. The second set of videos run on a Max/MSP/Jitter patch that display four screens of filmed texts inscribed on tombstones that play four streaming poems through a systematic structure of boxes. The screens are displayed in each box and sourced from separate folders to display and play the film clips. The practice of collage and constraint-based poetry complicates the constitution of being the author when the collagist of Plath’s poetry is a different gender than hers. This research then expands on how identity radically shifts in the text when the subject and the collagist have very different identities. The radical shift in a collage takes place within a predefined and generalized concept of the reader as determined by Stanley Fish, a prominent writer on the subject of ‘reader-response criticism’, who believes that one way a reader could be approached is through his or her relationship with the writing.

Abstract:

Bushrangers have a powerful grip on the Australian psyche. Ned Kelly is celebrated as Australia’s most popular folk hero. Bushranger Captain Thunderbolt has been immortalised in his home state of New South Wales, with a major highway named in his honour. For the town of Uralla in the New England District, the Thunderbolt legend looms large. He is a major tourist draw card for the region. The legend of Thunderbolt embodies a larger telling of a collective struggle against a system of injustice and oppression. A closer examination of events reveals that Thunderbolt’s Aboriginal wife, Mary Ann, was crucial to his survival. Yet she has been erased from the legend. Many of our folk heroes could not have survived without the support of Aboriginal Australians. However the mateship ethos continues to exclude both Aboriginal people and women. In documenting the life of Worimi woman Mary Ann and her partnership with Thunderbolt, the rhetoric of mateship is challenged. Reciprocal relationships that developed between Aboriginal and settler Australians will be investigated. It is important to consider the range of relationships that emerged on the frontier and the bearing that geography played in such encounters. By adopting a place-centred approach one is able to closely examine the complexity of race relations that existed in colonial times. The violent encounters that occurred on the frontier between Aboriginal and settler Australians are well documented. However not all relationships were based on exploitation and violence. The union between Mary Ann’s Aboriginal mother and English convict father is celebrated by the Worimi today. Mixed marriage continues to be recognised as a central part of contemporary Worimi culture.

Abstract:

Uppsatsen behandlar det postmoderna popfenomenet Lady Gaga och framställningen av henne i dagspress världen över. Lady Gagas spektakulära och inflytelserika kändisskap reproduceras dagligen i media och hon påverkar således vår samtid vilket gör henne till ett intressant forskningsobjekt. Med hjälp av Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys som metod har vi kunnat göra djupgående kvalitativa analyser och undersökt Lady Gagas framställning i dagspress. Vi har tittat på den bild som ges av Lady Gaga genom att göra grundliga språkliga analyser. Materialet som ligger till grund för undersökningen behandlar Lady Gaga i sin köttklänning som hon bar på MTV Video Music Awards i september 2010. Materialet utgörs av tio nyhetsartiklar tagna från tidningars onlinesidor och kommer främst från USA och Englands största dagstidningar. Den teoretiska ramen för uppsatsen utgörs främst av postmoderna teorier av Mikhail Bakhtin och Dominic Strinati då vi ser Lady Gaga som ett postmodernt fenomen. Bakhtins teorier om karnevalens upplösande av gränser och social tillhörighet sammanfattar han i begreppet qarnevalesque som vi applicerar på framställningen av Lady Gaga. Vidare använder vi Bakhtins teori om pajasens roll i det sociala. Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys är förutom en metod även ett teoretiskt förhållningssätt. Vi har använt oss av hans teorier om diskurs och ideologi och hur makt upprätthålls och reproduceras genom dem. Den postmoderna teoretiska ramen i kombination med den valda metoden har på en mikronivå gett oss konkreta resultat och vi har trots vårt begränsade material kunnat utläsa mönster och strukturer som går igen i artiklarna. De diskurser och förhållningssätt som framträder i texterna har vi sammanfattat i en LadyGaga-köttklänningsdiskurs. Diskursen ser vi som en deldiskurs ur en större LadyGaga-diskurs. LadyGagaköttklänningsdiskursen innehåller inslag av ironi, skandal- och sensationsjournalistik och en vi-mothenne- atmosfär. Bilden som ges av Lady Gaga framställer henne som en förvirrad och löjlig pajas. Vidare kan vi se på en makronivå hur den här diskursen konstituerar och konstitueras av den sociala praktiken och den rådande kapitalistiska ideologin.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur kvinnlighet framställs för att konstruera feministikonen Daenerys Targaryen i TV-serien Game of Thrones. För att uppnå mitt syfte har jag analyserat Daenerys karaktär samt personer hon interagerar med i serien. Jag har använt mig av en semiotisk bildanalys. Min teorianknytning utgörs huvudsakligen av feministisk medieforskning samt feministiska åskådningar. Materialet för min studie utgörs av fem scener från serien. Resultaten visar att framställningen av Daenerys karaktär blir en konstruktion av kvinnan med speciella band med naturen som för en kamp mot en mansdominerad kultur.

Full text

Abstract:

Anne, Lady Bacon (c.1S2B-1610) is chiefly remembered as the translator of several important religious texts and as the mother of Francis and Anthony Bacon. This thesis seeks to re-evaluate her fulfilment of her role as a mother, translator and religious patron through an examination of her correspondence and an assessment of her published works. In doing so it demonstrates that Anne was adept at utilising epistolary conventions in order to achieve her politico-religious aims, and was far more capable at negotiating complex webs of power than has hitherto been acknowledged. Over one hundred of her letters survive, most of which are written to Anthony between the 1592 and 1596, and only a few of which have been published. I have transcribed all these extant letters, and through a close analysis of their content and material construction I offer an outline of her epistolary habits, and demonstrate how her letter-writing practice was influenced by the practical elements of sixteenth-century epistolary culture. I describe the factors that influenced Anne's relationship with her sons, and analyse how both parties performed or neglected their duties. The second half of my thesis focuses on Anne's religious patronage. I describe the iconographic significance of the female translator, and examine Anne's contribution to the nascent Protestant literary culture. Faced with a political climate that was becoming increasingly hostile to expressions of nonconformity, I look at how Anne harnessed other means by which to support the puritan cause, and assess the extent to which she directed the religious tenor of her local parishes.

Abstract:

L'aristocrate, lady Hester Lucy Stanhope (12 mars 1776-22 juin 1839), est à ce point associée à sa cavalcade orientale qu'aucune anthologie de l'épistolaire féminin ne lui a consacré une petite place. Epistolière elle l'est pourtant, ainsi que mémorialiste de l'Orient d'avant l'impérialisme forcené des Occidentaux. Après avoir démontré l'invalidité des images juxtaposées sur le portrait arbitraire d'extravagante et de voyageuse proposé par des décennies de biographes successifs, cette étude tente de faire entendre la voix de cette scriptrice méconnue et les qualités de son message. Les thèmes qu'elle aborde et son discours analysé avec les outils littéraires de l'épistolaire essayent de la redéfinir comme auteur et de comprendre pourquoi ses correspondances n'ont pas été éditées à ce jour, lavées de tout ajout biographique superfétatoire
Lady Hester Lucy Stanhope's high profile as an eccentric and as a traveller in the East has subdued her voice and overshadowed her literary skills. This dissertation focuses on her letters unduly bequeathed to the future despite her will to have them destroyed. In the first place, it endeavours to reassess her within the Enlightenment period into which she was born on the 12th of March 1776, without giving inordinate emphasis on her somewhat fragmentary biography. Then, it aims at deciphering her varied messages with a study of her favourite themes so as to trace back influences. And lastly, it intends to analyse her epistolary accomplishments using literary tools so as to redefine her essentially as a letter-writer. In the end, it is assumed that an answer will surface to help understand why she has never been considered as a writer of moment and why her letters have not yet been published or even compiled within an anthology of British women's writings

Full text

Abstract:

The detailed examination of two of Shakespeare's female leads, Lady Macbeth and Gertrude, is designed to determine whether or not these particular characters were free from the confines of their society, or if they were content within its oppressive grasp. A combination of Feminist Criticism and New Historicism reveals that Lady Macbeth and Gertrude did not overstep the bounds of their gender, but in fact were suppressed within them. The limited rights and freedoms of a woman during the Renaissance is heavily discussed, and aids in giving the reader a vivid impression of Lady Macbeth's and Gertrude's subjugation. As Renaissance women were considered and treated inferior to their husbands in all respects, so are these two characters. Once the supposed driving force behind her husband's actions, Lady Macbeth makes a swift but devastating departure after Macbeth expels her from both his personal and political matters. No longer needing his wife to appease his conscience, Macbeth finds his own aptitude for evil. Torn between her roles as a wife and mother, Gertrude forfeits her happiness to please her overemotional son. Long before her actual death, Gertrude sacrifices a part of her identity to meet Hamlet's expectations. Both women relinquish their hopes and dreams to fulfill those of the men around them. Their blinded selflessness and misplaced devotion result in their ultimate undoing. Though the typical reader of Macbeth and Hamlet sometimes considers these particular female characters to be strong, bold, and selfish, the values of Shakespeare's era and his actual text suggest otherwise. The playwright's time was marked by a bitter gender struggle that pervaded all areas of Renaissance life, including his own work. Upon first glance, Lady Macbeth and Gertrude might come across as women who were strikingly independent. Throughout the progression of the plays, however, both women take a backseat to more important matters, such as politics and war. Even their deaths do not truly belong to them, as they seem to serve as mere asides to the inevitable "manly" action. Striving to meet the expectations of the men they loved, Lady Macbeth and Gertrude lose themselves in the process.

Abstract:

De frågeställningar som jag har utgått från är vem eller vilka personer, och vilka andra faktorer skapade superstjärnan Lady Gaga? Har Lady Gaga blivit framgångsrik på egen hand eller huvudsakligen som ett resultat av andra personer och deras inverkan? Syftet är att analysera bakgrunden till Lady Gagas enorma succé och utforska möjliga orsaker och förklaringar till den, för att sedan kunna använda och föra vidare kunskapen om dessa framgångsstrategier i musikbranschen. Jag har använt mig av kvalitativa intervjuer med fallstudien som metod. Intervjuerna är gjorda i New York, USA och omfattar inflytelserika personer från musik-, konst- och modevärlden, med inriktning på vilka faktorer och personer som varit viktiga och avgörande för Lady Gagas karriär. Analysen är baserad på en teori om Lady Gagas strategier kallad 4E efter ledorden emotions (känslor), erfarenhet, engagemang och exklusivitet. Intervjuerna och fallstudien bekräftar 4E-teorin på alla fyra punkter. Analysen visar att två ytterligare viktiga faktorer är vikten av stödjande grupper runt en ny okänd artist och New Yorks mångfald av artister, musiker och konstnärer.

Abstract:

The work of Shakespeare has been popular to make film adaptations of from the birth of cinema. Macbeth, one of his most often played tragedies, is no exception. But how did Shakespeare portray Lady Macbeth in his play, and how do directors in the 21th century choose to portray her for a modern audience? I will try to find the answer to these questions by analyzing Shakespeare´s play as well as three modern adaptations. I will begin the thesis by looking at scholars´ view in questions regarding gender, free will, adaptations and genre before analyzing the play and the three movies. I will do this so in order to make comparisons between the play and the three adaptations. My conclusion is that Shakespeare wrote Lady Macbeth as a strong woman, an “unwomanly” woman of her time. The three adaptations also portray her as a strong woman, but in three different ways. I cannot draw any overall conclusions as this thesis is a subjective interpretation of text as well as picture, but further analysis of more adaptations of Macbeth can perhaps verify what has been stated in this thesis.

Abstract:

One of the most perplexing figures in Shakespeare's tragedies is Lady Macbeth. In light of recent feminist studies, Lady Macbeth must be studied in the social and historical context of Shakespeare's own era. By comparing the situation of women at that time with the vast number of social constraints placed on them through state channels, we see these women emerging from the social ideal of the cloistered submissive wife despite the attempts of patriarchal politics to restrain their advances.
Lady Macbeth's actions are often interpreted as those of a bloodthirsty woman overstepping her social position. But Lady Macbeth is a product of a perverse society which worships the warrior-hero and dictates the importance of being a man, "broody, bold, and resolute". Interestingly, contrary to many interpretations, Lady Macbeth never attempts to be anything but a submissive, devoted wife. She and her husband embody the paradoxes inherent in their culture.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the position of female film directors working in Hollywood. It is intended to address an area in feminist film theory which has often been overlooked. Although it is incorrect to say there has been no feminist analysis of the "mainstream" woman director, most of the work which has been done concentrates either on finding the feminism or femininity of her films, or studies only a select few directors. This research widens the debate by validating the study of all women directors, and moves away from the search for definitive feminist meaning in the cinematic text. It employs a contextual and multi-theoretical approach to interrogate the multiplicity of meanings embodied by the phrase "woman director". The first chapter interrogates auteur theory because any discussion of female authorship must confront this critical perspective. The female director makes a problematic auteur since that figure is traditionally gendered as masculine. Chapter two is a "state of the industry" examination of the position of the woman director in Hollywood, with a special emphasis on mentoring. Chapter three examines the marketing of Mimi Leder's films The Peacemaker (1997) and Deep Impact (1999). Chapters four, five and six explore the construction of the woman director as "star", presenting in-depth case studies of Jodie Foster and Penny Marshall. Chapters seven and eight look at the reception of Blue Steel (1990) and Strange Days (1995) directed by Kathryn Bigelow, and Clueless (1995) directed by Amy Heckerling. Each chapter is designed to contextualise and historicise the woman director in order to better understand why her gender has prevented her from being seen as a "natural" director: that is, why directing has been viewed as a suitable job for a man but "no job for a lady".

Thesis (DLitt)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die ondersoek in hierdie studie sentreer random die diskoers in Antjie Krog se sewende digbundel, Lady Anne (1989). Die ondersoekprableem is die vraag na die wyse waarop die diskoers van hierdie teks georden en' geproduseer word. Foucault se teorie oor diskoersanalise word as kritiese werktuig gebruik by die beantwoording van hierdie vraag. Foucault (1981) omskryf diskoers onder meer as die sosiale gebruik van taal gesitueer binne bepaalde kontekste en verbonde aan spesifieke instansies. Volgens Foucault vertoon diskoers 'n innerlike orde of formasie wat argeologies opgediep kan word; dit het 'n regulerende funksie wat nie net betekenis afbaken nie, maar betekenis praduseer in die positiewe sin van die woord (Foucault, 1981). Wanneer hierdie regulerende funksie genealogies ontleed word, blyk dit dat diskoers mag uitoefen deur die meganismes van kennis, waarheid en self (Foucault, 1980), Diskoers artikuleer kennis wat die self die waarheid oor die self toe-eien. Dit roep op sy beurt weer die prableem van vryheid en politieke verset op. Die ondersoek fokus op die volgende vraagstukke random die diskoers in Lady Anne: die diskursiewe patrone in die teks; die beperkinge wat op die diskoers geplaas word (Foucault, 1981); die outeursfunksie soos beskryf deur Foucault (1979); die fiksionalisering van die lady Anne Barnard-geskiedenis aan die hand van die genealogiese benadering (Foucault, 1970; 1972). Daar sal ook ingegaan word op die verestetisering van die politieke diskoers in Suid-Afrika, asook op die kwessie in watter mate daar sprake is van stemgewing aan die Ander. Die sentrale vraagstuk wat ondersoek word, is: wat is die posisie van die wit skeppende vrau in Suid-Afrika en hoe word hierdie posisie ingeskryf in die diskoers van die Afrikaanse letterkunde? In samehang hiermee word gelet op kwessies soos subjektiwiteit, beskrywing van die objek, asook die subjek se posisie met betrekking tot die tradisie waarin sy die teks inskryf.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation centers on the discourse in Antjie Krog's seventh volume of poetry, Lady Anne (1989). The central thesis of the dissertation is to analyse the way in which the discourse of the text under discussion is being ordered and produced. The theoretical approach is based on Foucault's discourse analysis. Foucault (1981) defines discourse as, among others, the social usage of language within specific contexts and as part of specific institutions. According to Foucault, discourse has an internal order or formation which one can reveal by way of an archaeological approach; it also has a regulatory function which not only delineates meaning, but produces meaning in the more positive sense of the word (Foucault, 1981). If one analyses this regulatory function by way of a genealogical approach, it appears as if discourse exercises power over mechanisms such as knowledge, truth and self (Foucault, 1980). Discourse articulates knowledge that the self claims as a particular truth. This calls to mind issues such as the problem of freedom and political resistance. This dissertation focuses on the following issues pertaining to the discourse in Lady Anne: the discursive patterns in the text, the limitations placed on the production of discourse (Foucault, 1981), the author function as used by Foucault (1979), the fictionalization of the history of Lady Anne Barnard by means of a genealogical approach (Foucault, 1970; 1972). Another pertinent issue that will be analysed is the aestheticisation of the political discourse in South Africa, as well as the manner in which a voice is given to the so-called Other. The central issue of this investigation is the following: What is the position of white creative women in South Africa and how is this position being inscribed into the discourse of Afrikaans literature? Concomitantly, issues such as subjectivity, the description of the object, as well as the subject's position within the literary tradition will be analysed.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of the form and transmission of John Lydgate’s Life of Our Lady. The Life survives in over fifty manuscripts that date from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. It was also printed several times in the pre-modern period. The thesis examines the ways in which the text was presented in these various forms and shows what such forms suggest about the transmission of the poem. It discusses the manuscripts’ physical construction, design and decoration. It taxonomizes the types of textual apparatus that accompany the text and considers textual extraction and modification. These aspects of the manuscripts show how the poem’s meaning was framed in a variety of cultural contexts and demonstrate the role played by nonauthorial figures in shaping the Life for its readers. All the located manuscripts are described in an appendix at the end.

Abstract:

Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka filmiska skildringar av kvinnor och deras sexualitet samt att analysera och diskutera skildringarna utifrån teorier om genus, makt och film. Arbetet görs utifrån ett feministiskt perspektiv där premissen är att kvinnor underordnas män på grund av sitt kön och att filmens narrativa struktur är utformad efter patriarkala språkstrukturer. Uppsatsens syfte är att i studier av fyra amerikanska långfilmer hitta strukturer och variationer för att utifrån ett poststrukturalistiskt perspektiv kunna föra resonemang kring hur karaktärer positioneras och agerar; en viktig utgångspunkt är att strukturer är instabila och formas av de agenter som verkar inom dem. Poststrukturalistiska tankegångar har även format arbetets gestaltande del där diskuterade strukturer lyfts fram i fyra bilder som skildrar ett sexuellt möte. Gestaltningen har inspirerats bland annat av de filmiska skildringarna och har utformats i samband med resonemangen i uppsatsen. Resultatet ska förtydliga diskuterade mönster men då dessa mönster kan upplevas som självklara har karaktärerna intagit varandras positioner för att förtydliga resonemanget. Som stöd för uppsatsen har filmanalytiska texter använts och kopplats samman med psykoanalytiska resonemang för att forma en metod. Texten mynnar ut i resonemang kring hur en film både kan utmana och reproducera strukturer, och att samtliga analysobjekt kan läsas som uttryck för detta. Examensarbetet visar hur själva språket som formar skildringarna måste förändras för att skildringarna skall kunna utmana befästa mönster.
