Abstract:

Abstract: Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando: A Biography can best be described as a literary portrait. Woolf draws a portrait of the titular character—a composite of literary and visual artworks—as perpetually youthful. Through this portrait, the novel traces a change in the history of the physiognomic face in modernity—from Orlando's memorable face-to-face with Queen Elizabeth to her search for meaning in the faces around her in London in 1928. The face of Orlando, which Woolf forcefully inserts into the history of the portrait, is sketched in a formal relation to absent faces in the history of portraiture—women's faces and racialized faces. An engagement with Paul Mpagi Sepuya's recent photographic reflections on Orlando reveals the version of modernist queerness dramatized by the novel to be mediated by racial difference.

Abstract:

Abstract To avoid the stigma of societal dissaproval, love for somebody of the same sex has often been hidden from the declinatory views of the public; however, it has also been secretively transcribed into a broad spectrum of art. Virginia Woolf embroidered her homosexuality into the grotesque lines of Orlando. At the time, Woolf was engaged in an intense lesbian relationship with author Vita Sackville-West, who served as a model for the work’s main character. Woolf proclaimed her masterpiece “A Biography”, mirroring the duality of her own and Vita’s character, the perpetual beauty of the book’s hero, enduring for centuries, and his subtle gender transition. In the paper, we discuss some of the homosexual motifs in Orlando, which were formed by different influences, including the queer movement, ancient Greek literature and feminism.

Este artigo visa apresentar as dimensões relativas às questões de gênero que podem ser pensadas tanto nas artes visuais como na literatura a partir da obra Orlando: uma biografia, de Virginia Woolf. No romance, cujo protagonista se tornaria mulher, é possível refletir sobre a perspectiva atuante da mulher no meio artístico e suas consequentes limitações sociais e materiais, além de sua posição enquanto objeto da arte e da representação do feminino por meio de códigos que exprimem sua passividade.

Abstract:

Los géneros literarios que los críticos han utilizado para calificar la obra de Virginia Woolf, Orlando, publicada en 1928, incluyen: la alegoría religiosa, la fábula, la novela policíaca, literatura de doppelgänger, cuentos diabólicos escoceses o la novela gótica. Todavía se discute si es un relato de ciencia ficción. Sin embargo, el tema principal es la identidad sexual del protagonista, quien cruza un “tiempo sin tiempo” y transforma su sexo y sexualidad a lo largo del recorrido de su alma. Este, es un claro rechace a la estructura de las novelas victorianas, en las cuales dominan los personajes masculinos y escasean los femeninos. Orlando nace hombre para luego, con el pasar de los siglos – desde 1600, últimos años de la reina Isabel I, hasta el siglo XX, en el contexto político real de Inglaterra, el de las sufragistas, cuando se da su transformación en mujer y sobre todo en escritora. Pese a lo apenas mencionado, esta novela no es sexista. Unos de sus fines principales es exponer las necesidades de una dama de la época isabelina, los tropiezos masculinos y femeninos de la sociedad victoriana y los obstáculos inherentes a las obsesiones del yo, en que el lenguaje es determinante para la marcación de épocas. Según Virginia, la diferencia sexual viene dada por la educación, pero no pretende fomentar la dualidad hombre-mujer, sino redefinir la feminidad y proclamar a la vez que una mente debe ser andrógina.

Abstract:

Orlando is a romantic and imaginative work written by Virginia Woolf in which the protagonist Orlando has lived for 400 years and experienced the change of gender from male to female. He is a representative of androgyny in literature by whom Woolf wants to stress the importance of the balance between men' thinking and women' thinking. From this point of view, this paper will analyze the concept of androgyny in Orlando and its practical significance.

Abstract:

Shakespeare está presente na escrita de Virginia Woolf nos ensaios críticos, romances, cartas e diários. A crítica woolfiana se debruça sobre as menções ao bardo para comprovar quanto a sua obra foi determinante na formação da escritora em uma infindável ausência-presença. Woolf estabeleceu o diálogo com Shakespeare a fim de atualizar e moldar o seu próprio projeto literário. O objetivo deste artigo é analisar os efeitos dessa presença em Orlando, uma das mais famosas biografias ficcionais modernistas. No romance, Shakespeare está envolto em mistério, como um fantasma invisível, um personagem do qual não se fala, ele é apenas pressentido.

Abstract:

Olga Neuwirth Orlando című operájának ősbemutatója történelmet írt 2019. december 8-án Bécsben, mivel ez volt az első nő által szerzett opera a Bécsi Állami Operaház 150 éves történetében. Olga Neuwirth pontosan azért választotta Virginia Woolf regényét témaként és Rei Kawakubo divattervezőnőt, a Comme des Garçons divatcég alapítóját jelmeztervezőként, mert szerette volna felhívni a figyelmet arra, hogy a huszonegyedik században itt az ideje annak, hogy a nemek kérdése, valamint a nők által írt darabok és nők által tervezett ruhák is megjelenjenek az operaház színpadán. A bemutató által feltett kérdések közül hármat szeretnék vizsgálni ebben a szövegben: a kortárs opera és divat, Olga Neuwirth és Virginia Woolf, valamint Rei Kawakubo és Orlando találkozását.

Jorge Luis Borges tradujo al español la novela Orlando: A Biography, escrita por Virginia Woolf, nueve años después de la publicación, en 1928. En la obra, Virginia Woolf buscaba trazar un camino que conllevaría a la perfecta armonía de los dos sexos en la mente. No obstante, la traducción del argentino presenta una serie de cambios que permiten examinar el carácter personal que el traductor le imprimió a su traducción, como reflejo de su ideología patriarcal, consciente o inconsciente.

Abstract:

Desde sua criação, em 1928, Orlando: a biography, de Virginia Woolf, levanta muitos debates a respeito da questão de gênero, já que seu/sua personagem homônimo/a passa por uma transformação sexual. Neste texto, tratamos dos limites da noção de espaço biográfico, no seu cruzamento com o conceito de (auto)biografia, e da indecidibilidade e entrelugar dos gêneros, literário e sexual, considerando a perspectiva ‘trans’ mobilizada na obra de Woolf. O artigo está dividido em três partes. Na primeira, exploramos a temática do espaço (auto)biográfico a partir das contribuições de Lejeune (2008), Arfuch (2010a, 2010b), Derrida (1985a) e Derrida et al. (1985b). Na segunda, apresentamos a noção ‘lei do gênero’, de Derrida (2011), para tratar da relação entre os gêneros literário e sexual. Na terceira, mostramos os trânsitos entre os gêneros dos sujeitos e dos textos envolvidos no trabalho de Woolf. Considerando o pensamento da desconstrução, constatamos que Orlando transita entre diferentes gêneros e desafia seus limites estanques, e que também há uma relação entre os gêneros literário e sexual, pois a não unicidade de gênero de Orlando (personagem) problematiza o gênero literário (auto)biografia. Concluímos que Woolf/Orlando borra as fronteiras dos gêneros, desafiando o leitor a autenticar sua assinatura.

This study presents a comparative analysis between Virginia Woolf s Orlando and Jacqueline Harpman s Orlanda. It takes as a starting point the fact that Harpman houses Woolf s novel inside her own text and plays overtly with parody, citation, allusion, and mise en abyme, techniques which had already been used by Woolf. The analysis points out the way Harpman transcontextualizes the structural elements in Woolf s novel and reexamines questions that had been raised by Woolf almost seventy years ago. This research goes beyond the technical features to demonstrate that the heart of the matter may reside in human being s eagerness to be accepted as a multiple self, what leads the analysis into studying the mythical representations of the double. After demonstrating the way Harpman transcontextualizes the key elements in Woolf s novel, the analysis follows the itinerary of the double in both narratives, focusing primarily on Narcissus and the Androgyne and secondarily on other mythical figures like Apollo and Daphne

Esta dissertação de mestrado busca refletir sobre a importância da interface entre os Estudos Literários e os Estudos de Gênero, a partir da análise de Orlando, uma biografia, de Virginia Woolf, cujo personagem principal, Orlando, desafia as fronteiras entre o masculino e o feminino, ao passar por uma transformação sexual, de forma natural. O enredo dessa biografia ficcional permite traçar pontos de interseção entre as considerações sobre androginia, não-linearidade, flexibilidade e mutabilidade dos sexos promovidas por Woolf. Para a análise da proposta inusitada de Woolf, que constrói a metamorfose de Orlando, foram utilizados os estudos de Um teto todo seu (2014), de Virginia Woolf, e A crítica feminista no território selvagem, de Elaine Showalter (1994). Para a realização da congruência de Orlando, uma biografia, com os Estudos de Gênero, tornou-se essencial a compreensão dos conceitos elaborados por Simone de Beauvoir, em O segundo sexo, v. 2: a experiência vivida, (1967); Joan Scott, em Gênero: uma categoria útil de análise histórica (1995) e Judith Butler, em Problemas de gênero: feminismo e subversão da identidade (2003). A flexibilidade e as variações de gênero suscitadas por Woolf contrapõem-se aos rígidos conceitos construídos para o masculino e para o feminino, assim como a característica inalterável da sexualidade. Em 1928, com Orlando, uma biografia, Virginia Woolf antecipou a questão de gênero, tão atual e pertinente na busca do respeito às liberdades e na extinção dos formatos preestabelecidos que insistem em determinar o comportamento mais intrínseco dos indivíduos.
This present Master's Thesis aims to reflect upon the importance of the correlation between Literary Studies and Gender Studies, based on the analysis of Orlando, a biography, by Virginia Woolf, in which the main character, Orlando, defies the borders between male and female, when transforming himself sexually, in a natural way. The plot of the fictional biography allows to trace intersection points concerning androgyny, non-linearity, flexibility and changeability of gender, created by Woolf. For the analysis of Woolf's unusual proposal, which constructs Orlando's metamorphosis, the following studies were used: A room of One's Own (2014), by Virginia Woolf, and Criticism and the Wilderness (1994), by Elaine Showalter. To accomplish the congruency of Orlando, a biography, with Gender Studies, it is essential to comprehend the concepts proposed by Simone de Beauvoir, in The Second Sex, v. 2: a living experience, (1967); Jon Scott, in Gender: a useful category of Historical Analysis (1995) and Judith Butler, in Gender Problems: Feminism and Subversion of Identity (2003). The flexibility and gender variations expressed by Woolf contrast with the strict concepts once built concerning male and female, as well as the unchangeable characteristic of the sexuality. In 1928, with Orlando, a biography, Virginia Woolf anticipated the gender issue, so recent and pertinent in the search for respect to the liberty and the extinction of the preestablished forms that insist on determining the most inherent behaviour of the individuals.

Abstract:

O objetivo principal desta dissertação de mestrado é uma leitura do romance Orlando: A biography (1928) de Virginia Woolf a partir do levantamento de uma hipótese interpretativa do processo de construção do romance. Basicamente, procura-se investigar como acontece a seleção, organização e articulação dos materiais sociais e estéticos envolvidos na sua produção de modo a reconstruir momentos-chave da obra, bem como a propor códigos interpretativos. No primeiro capítulo há uma análise dos dispositivos formais que constituem a narração com intuito de revelar os conteúdos sócio-históricos que eles carregam. Já no capítulo dois identifica-se na dialética entre forma e conteúdo do romance duas formações ideológicas antagônicas: a figuração do patriarcado capitalista que organiza a experiência coletiva de maneira autoritária e da estética da modernização cultural que emerge em oposição à primeira. As considerações finais retomam os principais pontos trabalhados nos capítulos anteriores e propõem que o projeto de Woolf tematiza a amplitude da interioridade com o intuito de gerar uma compensação simbólica para crescente desumanização da vida no período entreguerras. Identifica-se, assim, ao menos duas linhas de força da narrativa modernista: uma que aposta na subjetivação e outra na objetivação do processo artístico. Esta dissertação propõe que Woolf se filia à primeira linhagem.
The central objective of this dissertation is a reading of the novel Orlando: A biography (1928) by Virginia Woolf from an interpretative hypothesis of its construction process. Basically, it seeks to investigate how the selection, organisation and articulation of the social and aesthetic materials involved in its production takes place, in a such a way that it is possible to reconstruct the work\'s key moments as well as to propose interpretative codes. In the first chapter there is an extensive analysis of the formal devices that constitute the narrative; in chapter two it is identified in the novel\'s dialectics of form and content two antagonist ideological formations: the figuration of capitalist patriarchy which organises colective experience in an authoritarian way and the aesthetic of cultural modernisation that rises in opposition to the former. Finally, in the conclusion, all the main points discussed in the previous chapters are summarized and it proposes that Woolf\'s project thematizes the human interiority\'s amplitude in order to create a symbolic compensation for the increasing dehumanization of social life in the interwar period. Thus, we identify two modernist paths: one that places centrality on subjectivization and another on objectivization of the artistic process. This dissertation supposes that Woolf belongs to the first lineage.

Abstract:

Denne oppgaven er en tekst- og adaptasjonsanalyse av to romaner av Virginia Woolf, Mrs Dalloway og Orlando, med vekt på transformasjonene fra litterært verk til film. Prosjektet undersøker hva som skjer når disse tekstuniversene blir transponert til kunstneriske billed/lyd-utrykk, og gjør med dette en komparativ analyse av romanforelegget i forhold til filmversjonen. Med utgangspunkt i en påstand om at modernistiske verker vanskelig lar seg transponere til andre medier, undersøker oppgaven hvilke grep som er blitt gjort i disse filmatiseringene. Fokuset ligger på å finne ut hvilke filmatiske hovedgrep som er blitt tatt i bruk, for å fremstille Woolfs fiksjonsuniverser. Målet med studien er å undersøke om det oppstår en meningsendring i de filmatiske ekvivalentene til foreleggene. I tillegg blir det gjort tekstanalyser av romanene, som undersøker deres språk, stil, tone og tema. Siden det er verker av Virginia Woolf som blir undersøkt, er det særlig interessant å konsentrere seg om typiske «woolfske» kompositorisk-stilistiske grep. Tekstanalysen av Mrs Dalloway tar for seg Woolfs bruk av «stream of consciousness»-teknikken for å fremstille indre tankemonologer hos karakterene. Dette er også hovedfokuset i filmanalysen, som tar for seg de filmatiske virkemidlene for å fremstille indre tale hos karakterene og hvordan filmen greier å erstatte romanens indre diskurs ved bruk av audio-visuelle virkemidler. I tekstanalysen av Orlando ligger fokuset på tematikken og sjangerkonvensjoner. Romanens ukonvensjonelle forhold til protagonistens kjønn og alder, samt dens tilknytning til Woolfs relasjon med Vita Sackville-West, blir belyst både i tekstanalysen og i filmanalysen. I transponeringen til filmmediet er det interessant og studere hvordan romanens ironi og parodi kommer til utrykk.

Full text

Abstract:

This essay is a close reading of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando: a Biography that focuses on representation of gender in the novel and the possible response it elicits in the reader. The essay argues that the implied reader of Orlando - as manifested in the novel - is a feminist one, as well as it explores the possibility of this implied feminist reader being a female. The reasons as to why this could be are extensively examined by analyzing the main character Orlando as he metamorphoses from an English nobleman into a grown woman. To support the thesis, the essay looks both into reader response criticism and feminist criticism to clarify what an implied reader actually is. The similarities between Orlando and “A Room of One’s Own” are also touched upon as these suggest that the implied reader is a feminist. The essay then takes a closer look at the narrator of the novel and what this narrator suggests about the identity of the implied reader of the novel. In addition to this it is also concluded that s/he controls the reader’s perception of Orlando’s gender in the novel, and that this also echoes the ideals presented in “A Room of One’s Own”. The essay concludes that the implied reader of Orlando indeed is a feminist, but not necessarily a female one.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the way in which the fictional biographies of Virginia Woolf, Orlando and Flush, prefigure central tenets of postmodern fiction. To demonstrate the postmodern elements present in Orlando and Flush, this thesis focuses on how the fictional biographies exhibit three postmodern characteristics: concern for historiography, extensive use of parody, and the denaturalization of cultural assumptions. Born from Woolf’s desire to revolutionize biography by incorporating elements of fiction alongside historical fact, these two novels parallel later works of historiographic metafiction in several key respects. Woolf’s extensive use of parody in Orlando and Flush prefigures how postmodern parody foregrounds the many ways in which all narratives are inherently constructions. Woolf also expresses a postmodern attitude by denaturalizing cultural assumptions about sexual difference and social class. When taken together, these three traits reveal how Orlando and Flush possess an ontological philosophy indicative of postmodern literature.

Abstract:

Clothing reinforces gender roles culturally assigned to men and women by emphasizing individuals? biological sex and encouraging them to behave in specific ways based on their sex. However, individuals can manipulate their clothing to challenge the gender roles assigned to them. The primary characters in Wilkie Collins?s The Woman in White and Virginia Woolf?s Orlando wear gender-deviant clothing to point out the constructed nature of gender and to assert their own identities independent of specific gender roles.

Abstract:

Nesta dissertação analisa-se comparativamente os modelos de desconstrução do sujeito em Orlando de Virginia Woolf e na sua adaptação para o cinema pela realizadora Sally Potter. Partindo de abordagens críticas anteriores da novela - informadas por teorias pós-estruturalistas e pós-modernas, que fornecem alguns dos pressupostos iniciais - realiza-se uma leitura do texto de Virginia Woolf à luz do paradigma de desconstrução queer das identidades normativas, na linha do pensamento teórico de Judith Butler. Esta análise permite uma re-leitura da novela e serve de base para um modelo de interpretação comparatista da re-escrita cinematográfica realizada por Sally Potter, também este apontando para uma crítica de uma visão essencialista e heteronormativa das identidades.
