Full textThis thesis analyses different constructions of poetic self-representations through melancholy in poems written by early eighteenth-century women writers (ca. 1680-1750). The selection of poems includes texts written by representative poets such as Anne Wharton, Anne Finch, Elizabeth Singer Rowe, Henrietta Knight, Elizabeth Carter, Mary Leapor, Mary Chudleigh, Mehetabel Wright und Elizabeth Boyd. Against the background of a detailed analysis of the medical-historical paradigmatic change from humoral pathology to the nerves and the subsequent re-positioning of women as melancholics, the thesis refers to the close relationship of medicine and literature during the eighteenth century. Specifical categories of analysis and two different types of melancholic-poetic self-representations are developed, in order to support the close readings of the literary texts. These poems comprise both texts, which explicitly refer to generically standardized melancholy markers, as well as texts, which negotiate and aestheticize the melancholic experience without necessarily mentioning melancholy. The detailed close readings of the poems discuss the often ambivalent strategies of the poetic speakers to construct and represent their melancholic selves and clearly demonstrate that women writers of that time did – despite the common critical opinion – contribute to the literary discourse of melancholy. The thesis pays special attention to the so-called female elegy and its relationship to melancholy. It becomes clear that mourning and grief, which have often been considered a feminine counter-discourse to the discourse of melancholy as sign of the male intellectual and/or artistic genius, and the resulting female elegy offer an important literary space for women writers and their melancholy poetry, which should thus be recognized as a distinctive part of the literary discourse of melancholy.

Full textThe habit of melancholy in the early modern period engendered medical inquiry, selfexamination, and artistic reverberations. The theory of the humours, combined with Aristotle’s dovetailing of melancholy and genius, exerted enormous influence on attitudes towards melancholy. Melancholy became, then, a desirable attribute, and the figure of the atrabilious man something to emulate. Women, however, because of their disorderly bodies and unruly emotions, were largely excluded from the tradition of melancholy. Their presumed irrationality precluded them from partaking in its artistic associations. Therefore, the atrabilious woman was not a woman of great intellectual capabilities, but simply a sick woman suffering from pathological melancholia. So far, it is the tradition of melancholy in poetry written by men that has been the subject of scholarly analysis and scrutiny, and only in recent years has there been a greater effort to include women poets in this major tradition. This dissertation examines a selection of poems by English women writing in the early modern period, such as Aemilia Lanyer, Margaret Cavendish, Anne Lock, Mary Sidney, and Katherine Philips, and attempts to determine how melancholy is experienced, performed, and deployed in their work, and also to what extent conceptions of melancholy are gendered. The question of women’s marginalised place in society and usual relegation to the domestic sphere is of central importance in exploring to what degree the politicisation of melancholy as subversive device figures in their poetry. The absence of agency plays an important part in the ways early modern English women poets use melancholy to challenge preconceived notions of womanhood and manipulate it in order to self-fashion representation.
O hábito da melancolia durante o Renascimento engendrou investigação médica, introspecção, e reverberações artísticas. A teoria dos humores, juntamente com a teoria de Aristóteles que alia melancolia a génio, exerceram uma grande influência nas atitudes relativas à melancolia. A melancolia tornou-se, assim, uma característica ambicionada, e a figura do homem atrabiliário algo a que se aspirar. No entanto, a mulher, por causa do seu corpo indisciplinado e emoções impetuosas, ficou largamente excluída da tradição da melancolia. A sua suposta irracionalidade impedia-a de tomar parte daquelas associações artísticas. A mulher atrabiliária não era, portanto, uma mulher de capacidades intelectuais superiores, mas sim e apenas uma mulher doente, que sofria de melancolia patológica. Até à data, é a tradição da melancolia na poesia masculina que tem sido alvo de estudo e escrutínio, e só em anos recentes tem havido um maior esforço de incluir poetas femininas nesta importante tradição. Esta dissertação, através da análise de uma selecção de poemas de poetas femininas inglesas do Renascimento, pretende determinar de que formas a melancolia é vivida, representada, e aplicada no trabalho daquelas, e também até que ponto as concepções de melancolia incitam questões de género. A questão da posição marginalizada da mulher na sociedade e a sua relegação à esfera doméstica é de grande importância na exploração do grau de politização da melancolia enquanto instrumento subversivo na sua poesia. A ausência de iniciativa tem, assim, um papel fundamental na forma como as poetas inglesas femininas do Renascimento fazem uso da melancolia para contestar noções preconcebidas de feminilidade e a manipulam de modo a gerar representação autoral.

First, women in Wu Mei Tsun’s poetry are clues to reveal the connection between the poet and his experiences of suffering and trauma. Hence, Wu Mei Tsun’s self-concealment and self-expression should be appeared in his poetry. The study comprises of five chapters. In first Chapter, the conception will be explained, literature review is also concluded. The second chapter aims at those women who had lived in Qinhuai, Nanjing. In Wu Mei Tsun’s poetry, Chu Godness and Xi-shi Beauty are symbols of Qinhuai Women. The talated ladies who shared literature ideas with Wu Mei Tsun are discussed in the third chapter, to deeply personal feelings, the poet’s wife and daughters are analyzed as well. In addition, Wu Mei Tsun was a former dynasty Ming official, served dynasty Ching and it gets him in disrepute. The moral dilemma Wu Mei Tsun faced and the panacea, redemption from religions describe in the fourth chapter. From the previous chapters, it can be seen that women in Wu Mei Tsun’s poetry are crucial to understand the poet. To conclude, Wu Mei Tsun was understood through the poetry; furthermore, the desire to be understood remains his main obsession, for fear of oblivion or misinterpretation.

This thesis aims to explore self-realization of women in Laura Esquivel’s Like Water for Chocolate and Ana Castillo’s The Mixquiahuala Letters. I will apply Hélène Cixous’, Julia Kristeva’s and Luce Irigaray’s theories to analyze how the protagonists in the two novels establish self-identity and fulfill self-realization through writing herstory and clarifying the space (chora) they dwell. This thesis can be divided into five chapters. The first chapter summarizes the characters, contents, authors, and the theories which are applied in the analysis of the two novels. In Chapter Two, I will investigate how writing can be regarded as the best strategy for women to establish self-identity and thus achieve self-realization through applying Hélène Cixous’ concept of écriture féminine. The main idea of écriture féminine—releasing and accepting the multiple heterogeneous differences—will also be discussed. Chapter Three focuses mostly on Julia Kristeva’s concept of “chora” which aims to elaborate on how women live in the interlocking space: traditional rituals, racism and sexual ambivalence. Chapter Four applies Irigaray’s concept of sexual difference to illustrate the necessity for women to create “herstory”—establishing a new age of thought, art, poetry and language. Chapter Five includes a review of the previous chapters and discusses Virginia Woolf’s ideas about women’s writing in A Room of One’s Own as the conclusion.

Full textThe growing number of married women with children who enter the work force is widely documented. In addition, the last decade has seen the number of self-employed women increase dramatically. The homemaker role, which remains an important adult attainment fora large segment of the female population for at least some portion of their adult lives, has received little attention. The career of the homemaker is omitted both in the traditional definition of the labour force and by the career counselling profession. Because of the rise in women's labour force activity there has been increased concern with the psychological implications of occupying family and work roles simultaneously. Married women who obtain employment typically experience role expansion and such expansion has potential repercussions for the women themselves, for their families and for their employing institutions. Although these women are assuming the demanding role of employee, they are typically not free to relinquish any of their previous traditional roles - the major responsibility for household work and parenting chores still appears to be the province of women. Presently, the empirical evidence of the psychological effects of maternal employment is equivocal, suggesting both positive and negative effects are possible. On the one hand paid employment has been related to increased self-esteem, status and life satisfaction in working mothers. On the other hand, maternal employment has also been associated with role conflict, life dissatisfaction and family stress. A wide variety of correlates of home-career conflict has been studied. The accumulation of empirical studies has not, however, been integrated in a way which advances understanding of the interrelationships of variables associated with home-career conflict. The purpose of the present study was to investigate from within an integrated framework the relationship between work and family domains and their impact on the life satisfaction of women who re-enter the labour market, women entrepreneurs and homemakers.
