Abstract:
The description of the portrait of a literary character plays an important role in creating the overall image of the character. The urgency of the study is due to the anthropocentric direction of linguistic studies since reflection and interpretation of the existing world and descriptions of portraits play an important role in this. In this sense, it is necessary to analyze the use of linguistic units in the description of portraits of characters from English fiction and poetry in the sixteenth-nineteenth centuries and to know the influence of past trends in the present. During the study several general scientific methods were used: analogy, generalization, observation, comparison, experiment, analysis, and the historical method. The study analyzed portrait descriptions in English poetry and prose from the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries and found that writers used a variety of symbols to capture the author's intentions in characters. Often, the authors used somatic vocabulary to represent the appearance of the characters, the less used lexical units of the general characteristics of the portrayal of the characters and the least to represent the appearance of the characters used the kinetic vocabulary.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: Twin Territories was a newspaper in Indian Territory from 1898 to 1905 that included the latest regional news, historical information about various tribes, and the column "What the Curious Want to Know." It also incorporated a variety of photographs of American Indian women, portraits of officials, and landmarks. The newspaper actively sustained a national audience. Ora Eddleman Reed understood her role as an editor in Indian Territory in part as a responsibility to correct inaccurate, dangerous representations of Natives people in the US. In addition to countering stereotypes of women, Twin Territories troubled visions of a backwards civilization, offering instead a portrait of Cherokee people as members of a burgeoning capitalist economy. While concentrating on a particular vision of Indian Territory as a modern, developing space, I seek to place Twin Territories in context as an Indian Territory newspaper of the turn of the twentieth century and to study its key features, including the advice column, its short fiction, and the photographic column, "Portraits of Indian Girls." Such representation is all the more complicated by Eddelman Reed's connection to the Cherokee community.

Abstract:
We cannot answer the Joyce question in Beckett studies until we proceed beyond the stereotypical assumptions of the two dominant approaches: namely, the resistance to Joyce school and the poststructuralist identification with Joyce school. Instead, this essay will argue for a third approach in which Beckett's life-long engagement with Joyce is shown to be much more complex, collaborative and complementary in many ways, as well as contestatory in nature. A close examination of three portraits of Joyce in Beckett's fiction will support these contentions and lead us towards a revisionist critique in which there is an enhanced appreciation of some of the more affirmative dimensions of Beckett's work.

Abstract:
This article assesses the relationship between Zimbabwean literature and Zimbabwean law. This is done by closely reading two short stories from Petina Gappah’s 2016 anthology Rotten Row. A discussion of the ever-burgeoning literature and law movement is conducted in order to situate the article within the broader law and humanities interdisciplinary effort. Images of legal figures and legal institutions are assessed in order to determine the portraits they produce in the fiction. The close relationship of the Zimbabwean court judgement and the judgement as storytelling method in fiction is highlighted and explained. It is concluded that Gappah’s fiction is strongly connected to the law and that this is a deliberate story telling strategy.

Full text
Abstract:
These are twenty-four exercises in personal writing that observe an anonymous self in the apartment, who is writing, or reading, or looking at mundane things. The exercises are collected in four sections registering different iterations in self-recognition, as the anonymous, closely observed, changes from a shared commonplace to the particular and personal state. The exercises use prose paragraphs, lineation, and figures as a private methodology into the problem of writing: learning to see the self, thinking on the page, as a thing made from words.

Manion, Deborah Maria. "The ekphrastic fantastic: gazing at magic portraits in Victorian fiction." Diss., University of Iowa, 2010. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1360.

Full text
Abstract:
While Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray depicts the quintessential literary portrait endowed with uncanny life and movement, dozens of such magic portraits are featured in Victorian fiction. From the ravishing picture of the title character in Mary Elizabeth Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret to the coveted portrait of a Romantic poet in Henry James's The Aspern Papers, imagined portraits in these texts serve as conduits of desire and fear--windows into passions and repressions that reveal not only the images' external effects but their relation to the unconscious of their viewers. My dissertation turns a critical eye on this gallery of ekphrastic pictures--those not actually visible to the reader but rather visualizable through verbal description--to argue that the meditations on representation and desire that these novels and stories perform not only anticipate but augment theories of the image and the gaze developed primarily since the advent of cinema. Though the dissertation benefits from film theory's models of visual exchange, the distinctions between these portraits and images in film open up fertile analytical terrain. Ekphrastic magic portraits provide a unique opportunity to delve into the intersecting realms of word painting and image perception, the optics of desire and subjectivity, to advance critical discourses in visual studies that are framed both historically and theoretically. Using psychoanalytic and narratological methodologies, particularly those relevant to feminist and queer image theory, "The Ekphrastic Fantastic" demonstrates how the fictional visual exchanges on display in magic portrait stories elucidate various power struggles regarding sexuality and narrative structuring. These literary pictures thereby provide new access to the social and artistic commentaries that often subtend Victorian fiction. Each chapter considers three primary texts and the branch of image theory most relevant to their deployment of magic portraits. Laura Mulvey's foundational essay, "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema," provides the point of departure in the first chapter, which looks at Charles Dickens's Bleak House, Braddon's Lady Audley's Secret, and Wilkie Collins's The Woman in White. The second chapter addresses Margaret Oliphant's "The Portrait," Thomas Hardy's "An Imaginative Woman," and James's The Aspern Papers with further feminist insights from Vivian Sobchack and Teresa de Lauretis. The final chapter determines the relationship of principles of visual representation and narrative production of the Aesthetic movement to magic portraits in Walter Pater's "Sebastian van Storck," Vernon Lee's "Oke of Okehurst," and Wilde's Dorian Gray, particularly as they relate to the nascent medium of cinema and the theories that soon as well as later arose to account for the impact of its kinetic mirage. The arc of my argument emphasizes how, as the Victorian period advances, the portraits become increasingly animate and subversive in their challenges to patriarchal gender norms and narrative formulas. In this way, they become the mechanisms by which new models of psycho-sexual relations can be expressed and new social and narrative systems can emerge.

Full text
Abstract:
My study seeks to explore the interest that Spanish women authors such as Josefina Aldecoa, Carme Riera, Nuria Amat, Esther Tusquets, Marina Mayoral, Carmen Martín Gaite, and Olga Guirao have taken in the revival of epistolary fiction in recent decades. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century epistolary fiction in Spain was conditioned by social practices and by literary conventions that typically confined its heroines to an amorous plot and women authors to anonymity. I contend that if modern tradition of epistolary practices and other male-discriminatory practices kept women writers silenced or invisible in the Spanish literary world, contemporary women writers sketch themselves back into their texts. Fictional letters function as written self-portraits for them to reflect and tell their own stories, thereby creating a playful mirror effect between the fictional epistolographer and the historical author. By pushing the conventional boundaries of letter writing as a sentimental genre, contemporary women authors take liberty to rewrite female representation and to give the fictional protagonists a new voice and visibility. They revisit the theme of love in epistolary literature to explore refashioned—and often transgressive—discourses on gender, sexuality, and subject identity.

Full text
Abstract:
Transdisciplinaire et transculturel, le motif familial a toujours entretenu des liens étroits avec le genre romanesque. Dans la littérature de la Grande Caraïbe, il fait l’objet de peu d’études critiques alors que l’espace caribéen se présente lui-même comme une famille géographique complexe, douloureusement marquée par la conquête coloniale, l’esclavage et le système de la plantation. Cette thèse se propose de l’aborder dans toute sa polysémie, de la représentation de la famille biologique aux différentes acceptions figurées – famille de substitution, famille de cœur, affiliations spirituelles, etc. – dans un corpus trilingue composé de quatre fictions romanesques caribéennes des XXe et XXIe siècles : Sartoris de William Faulkner, Cien años de soledad de Gabriel García Márquez, Texaco de Patrick Chamoiseau et La eternidad del instante de Zoé Valdés. Dans ces quatre romans, la représentation de la famille biologique révèle rapidement son caractère dysfonctionnel : rejetée par les personnages ou fragilisée par les événements, elle semble condamnée au délitement. Cet échec permet à d’autres types de relations d’apparaître ; loin de s’opposer au schéma familial initial, elles invitent à penser d’autres façons de « faire famille ». Ce passage d’une famille à l’autre permet ainsi d’engager une réflexion aussi bien sur la question de l’identité familiale des personnages que sur le rapport qu’entretiennent les romanciers caribéens avec les membres de la généalogie littéraire dans laquelle ils choisissent de se placer
An interdisciplinary and transcultural motif, the study of families has taken root in the genre of the novel. In Caribbean literature, there are but a few studies about the family pattern, despite the fact that the Caribbean area already constitutes a complex geographical family, painfully marked by colonization, slavery and the plantation system. This dissertation aims to study the various meanings of the representation of family, biological but also, figuratively, adoptive family, chosen family, spiritual family, etc. – in a trilingual corpus of texts made of four Caribbean fictional novels from the XXth and XXIst centuries: William Faulkner’s Sartoris, Cien años de soledad by Gabriel García Márquez, Patrick Chamoiseau’s Texaco and La eternidad del instante by Zoé Valdés. Within these four novels, the representation of the biological family soon reveals its dysfunctional dimension: rejected by the characters, fragilized by events, the family seems condemned to being dismembered. The failure allows for other relationships to form; far from being opposed to the way the original family was outlined, these relationships offer other ways to think about how to make a family. The passage from one family to the other allows to reflect upon, on the one hand, the question of familial identity on the part of the characters and, on the other, the relationship that Caribbean fiction writers have with the literary genealogy to which they wish to identify themselves

Full text
Abstract:
L’élaboration de portraits féminins reflète la fascination de Hawthorne pour cette créature complexe, un attrait nourri par l’omniprésence des femmes dans son entourage. L’influence de ces dernières est indéniable, et semble être à l’origine du féminisme ambigu de l’écrivain, partagé entre, d’un côté, l’héritage puritain des Manning et Hawthorne, et, de l’autre, les convictions féministes émergentes de sa belle-famille, les Peabody. Les portraits de femmes de la fiction hawthornienne se caractérisent donc par un binarisme essentialisme-différentialisme qui émane de la vision étroite des protagonistes masculins, et que l’auteur tente de dépasser. Les concepts deleuziens du « mineur » et du « devenir-femme » nous seront d’une grande utilité pour comprendre comment la femme essentialisée des Puritains, ce que nous pouvons aussi appeler la femme-image, au sens lacanien du terme, est en réalité une femme minorée car amputée de son esprit et de son rôle social. Hawthorne témoigne ainsi d’un féminisme équivoque, une voix qu’il a du mal, par moments, à assumer et affirmer complètement
Female portraits are abundant in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s fiction, short stories and novels alike. The influence of the women evolving in his private sphere may be at the origin of his ambiguous feminist vision, as his allegiance was divided between his Puritan inheritance (both the Mannings and the Hawthornes) on the one hand, and, on the other, the emerging feminist convictions of his in-laws (the Peabodys). Hawthorne’s female portraits are thus characterized by a tendency to binarism as they pit an essentialist view of women against a differentialist one. This binarist perspective reflects the narrow-mindedness of the patriarcal system which the male heroes try to defend and maintain. Deleuze and Guatarri’s concepts of “minor literature” and “becoming-woman” will help us understand how the woman-image of the Puritans is a minored woman in the realm both of the social order and the symbolic order. Hawthorne’s feminist voice is an equivocal one as his text is undergoing a subterranean process of “becoming-woman.”

Abstract:

In this essay, Kate Chopin's portraits of women in three short stories, 'The Story of an Hour', 'A Respectable Woman', Athénaïse and the novel The Awakening are studied. It is argued that the outcomes depicted can be seen as increasingly provocative and extreme and that the main conflict and ending of The Awakening is a development and combination of the conflicts and resolutions in the three short stories.


I uppsatsen studeras Kate Chopins kvinnoporträtt i tre noveller, 'The Story of an Hour', 'A Respectable Woman', Athénaïse och i romanen The Awakening. Syftet är att visa att huvudhandlingen och slutet på The Awakening är en utveckling och kombination av de alltmer provokativa och extrema handlingarna och upplösningarna i novellerna.

Full text
Abstract:
Jesus' story has been retold in various forms and fashions for centuries. Jesus novels, a subset of the historical fiction genre, are one of the latest means of not only re-imagining the man from Galilee but also of rewriting the canonical Gospels. This thesis explores the Christological portraits constructed in four of those novels while also using the novels to examine the intertextual play of these Gospel rewrites with their Gospel progenitors. Chapter 1 offers a prolegomenon to the act of fictionalizing Jesus that discusses the relationship between the person and his portraits and the hermeneutical circle created by these texts as they both rewrite the Gospels and stimulate a rereading of them. It also establishes the "preposterous" methodology that will be used when reexamining the Gospels "post" reading the novels. Chapters 2 to 5 offer four case studies of "complementing" and "competing" novels and the techniques they use to achieve these aims: Anne Rice's Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt; Neil Boyd's The Hidden Years; Nino Ricci's Testament; and José Saramago's The Gospel according to Jesus Christ. Chapter 6 begins an examination of a specific interpretive circle based upon Jesus' temptation in the wilderness. Beginning with the synoptic accounts of that event, the chapter then turns to how Jesus' testing has been reinterpreted and presented in two of the novels. Returning to the Gospel of Matthew's version of the Temptation, chapter 7 offers a "preposterous" examination of that pericope, which asks novel questions of the text and its role with Matthew's narrative context based on issues raised by the Gospel rewrites. The thesis concludes by suggesting that Jesus novels, already important examples of the reception history of the Gospels, can also play a helpful role in re-interpreting the Gospels themselves.

Full text
Abstract:
The feature film Aquaman (2018, directed by James Wan) is the most commercially successful superhero movie belonging to the DC Extended Universe. Produced by DC Films and Warner Bros. Pictures, the motion picture portrays a rebellious superhero with an extraordinary physical presence. The paper aims to reflect on the movie Aquaman and its ability to function as a late modern fairy tale. Aquaman’s genre structure includes elements of fantasy, science-fiction and action film. However, the authors work with the assumption that the story is, in its nature, a fairy tale involving late modern means of expression. The first part of the text is largely theoretical, outlining the movie’s importance and defining the genre of a fairy tale in the context of late modern culture. Following the given line of thought, the second part of the paper presents a narrative analysis of the film in question, which is based on Propp’s morphology of fairy tales.

Abstract:
The study focuses on the late 19th century city as an equivalent of the formation of a modern society. In fiction, especially in novels, the depiction of the 19th/20th century city has always attracted attention as a reflection of the formation of modern society through portrayals of both daily life and the development trends of the era's ideas. Writer, publicist, social activist Augusts Deglavs (1862�1922) created a unique portrait of the modernization of the city in Latvian literature with his novel �Riga� (�Riga�) (part 1 in 1912, part 2 in 1921). The novel demonstrates the awakening of Latvians and their formation as a cultural nation in a multicultural society in the conditions of double colonialism in the second half of the 19th century. One of the focal points of the novel is the diverse spectrum of cultural practices in an emerging industrial and multicultural society. The novel shows that cultural practices are determined by power hegemony and confrontation, various social experiences, ethnic, professional, religious affiliations, ideologies, behavioural norms and mass cultural emancipation. The research was conducted in a culture-oriented perspective, involving the social sciences and the current interdisciplinary approach. The approach of Cultural Studies and New Historicism method are used, with which it is possible to discover how Augusts Deglavs� novel is rooted in the cultural practices, circulation of ideas and historical developments of the era. New Historicism looks at literature as one of the voices in the polyphony of history or an era, a voice which can sound just as powerful in content as the voice of history and culture itself, because literature is one of the links in the chain of cultural processes.

Abstract:
As part of Oxfam’s Strategic Partnership project ‘Towards a Worldwide Influencing Network’, the graphic story Zahra: A policewoman in Afghanistan was developed by Jorrit Kamminga, Cristina Durán and Miguel Ángel Giner Bou. The project is funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands. The graphic story is part of a long-standing Oxfam campaign that supports the inclusion and meaningful participation of women in the Afghan police. The story portrays the struggles of a young woman from a rural village who wants to become a police officer. While a fictional character, Zahra’s story represents the aspirations and dreams of many young Afghan women who are increasingly standing up for their rights and equal opportunities, but who are still facing structural societal and institutional barriers. For young women like Zahra, there are still few role models and male champions to support their cause. Yet, as Oxfam’s project has shown, their number is growing, which contributes to small shifts in behaviour and perceptions, gradually normalizing women’s presence in the police force. If a critical mass of women within the police force can be reached and their participation increasingly becomes meaningful, this can reduce the societal and institutional resistance over time. Oxfam hopes the fictional character of Zahra can contribute to that in terms of awareness raising and the promotion of women’s participation in the police force. The story is also available on the #IMatter website.
