Full textOur study examines the modalities of the uninhabitable in the work of Jackson, where the characters are imprisoned in a world intrinsically hostile, as well as the strategies they use to thwart the instability it entails. The violence of the feelings at stake mirrors the cruelty of social relationships, leaving but little livable space even within the family circle, also affected by the entropy of ontological evil. Jackson’s heroines, variously confronted to the reemergence of past traumatic experiences that their odyssey through the present time transforms into unsurmountable obstacles, seek the ideal house, the haven that will anchor them into a world that rejects them. Jackson uses the tropes of the gothic haunted house as maternal space to illustrate the deadly deception such a place embodies. The cohabitation the most drastic forms of the death drive and vital impulses is the foundation principle of mental dissolution. Madness is one of the means to both embrace and understand the incomprehensible. We conclude by showing how the invention of one’s name is a way of elaborating an inner house

Full textShirley Jackson‘s alleged invisibility and status as a forgotten writer are investigated in this thesis. Thus, complaints of a shortage of critical assessment regarding her works were studied in order to determine how these detrimental labels actually reflect her recognition historically by specialized/academic critics, media and reading public. Instances of lively artistic and cultural activity stemming from her literature are offered as counterpoints that expose much of the incongruence that contaminates her literary historiography. The scope of this exploratory study spans a wide-ranging body of criticism about Jackson‘s works from the 1940s to the present. Among the aims of this thesis are the investigation of these disputable inconsistencies and the offering of insights into the potential factors that have caused them. Moreover, it tentatively proposes the critique that does not yet exist, that which places the very author at the center of the critical-source enterprise; in other words, one that uses Jackson‘s own fictional material as scientific-support and background against which to examine her fiction. A selection of four short stories compose the corpus of this research, namely ―The Intoxicated‖, ―The Daemon Lover‖, ―Like Mother Used to Make‖ and ―The Villager‖, all published in the cardinal 1948 short fiction collection The Lottery and Other Stories. Discussions of the restricted intertextual connections that binds the four stories are conducted so as to make conspicuous how pervasive and influential the essential common thematic elements spread all over her oeuvre can be, especially in what concerns the themes that form what is here called the Shirley Jackson Lore.

Full textEm Jane Eyre e Shirley, de Charlotte Brontë, um leitor atento é capaz de encontrar mais do que os olhos podem ver. Enquanto qualquer leitor contemporâneo lê as histórias e se diverte ou não, o leitor que o fez na época de suas primeiras publicações, que estava habituado a ler grandes obras, iria realmente aprecia-las ao interagir com o texto e compreender suas relações intertextuais com obras literárias como a Bíblia. Reconhecer o diálogo entre Jane Eyre e Shirley com outras obras literárias, sobretudo a Bíblia, habilita o leitor, entre outras coisas, a fazer suposições a respeito do futuro das personagens. Tal leitura tem estado perdida devido à falta de conhecimento Bíblico por parte da maioria dos leitores contemporâneos. Neste sentido, meu trabalho pretende analisar Jane Eyre e Shirley, comparando seus enredos e a forma com que confirmam ou frustram as expectativas do leitor com respeito ao futuro daquelas personagens tendo como referência os relatos das Escrituras. Além de analisar os romances, no entanto, proponho uma discussão sobre os tipos de leitores que poderiam ler e apreciá-los. Igualmente, traço o cenário religioso no qual eles foram escritos, a fim de ver as alusões Bíblicas através das lentes do leitor histórico, compreendendo as previsões que ele ou ela poderiam fazer, para observar se as alusões confirmam ou negam o texto Bíblico.

Full textThis paper consists of a commented translation of literary fiction from English to Swedish. The translated text is a short story of the horror genre called The Summer People by the American author Shirley Jackson (1916–1965). A source text-oriented translation principle was established for the translation task based on theories such as skopos, polysystem theory and domestication/foreignization. The commentary contains an account for the translational strategies that were applied regarding transfer of culture- and period-specific references, indications of spoken language, and literary style in the source text. An additional minor study was also carried out, consisting of a qualitative comparison between translations of Shirley Jackson’s novels executed by Inger Edelfeldt and Torkel Franzén. The additional study showed that Edelfeldt made slightly more alterations of the text, and Franzén’s translation in particular showed striking similarities to the current translation of The Summer People.

Full textThis master thesis consists of four parts: a retranslation from English to Swedish of an extract from Charlotte Brontë’s novel Shirley (1849), a theoretical comment on the translation dealing with some of the translation problems, a linguistic study, and a section on retranslation. The linguistic study compares the use of pronominal adverbs in the retranslation of Shirley and the old translation from 1854. The study focuses on adverbs with the prefixes där- and var-. The section on retranslation consists of a compilation of current research, observations from the process of retranslating Shirley, and interviews with two translators, Kerstin Gustafsson and Gun-Britt Sundström. The section describes the publishers’, the translators’ and the recipients’ perspectives on retranslation. In addition, it is discussed how the two concepts “foreignization” and “domestication” can be applied to retranslations, and how the source text and its old and new translations influence each other.

Full textThis thesis is a critical examination of a handful of the works of Shirley Jackson. It is an attempt at engaging in critical scholarship that for many years has been relatively lacking. In it, her stories ?The Summer People,? ?Pillar of Salt,? and ?The Daemon Lover? are examined alongside her novels Hangsaman and The Haunting of Hill House. This thesis addresses the ways in which Shirley Jackson writes the interior worlds of her protagonists and explores how those interiors are often physically linked to the physical worlds that these characters inhabit. Particularly, this thesis examines how Jackson writes the dissolution of her characters? fragile interiorities in the face of trauma spurred on by society?s oppression of women. Each section of this thesis attempts to examine how Jackson creates coping mechanisms for these protagonists and how these coping mechanisms fail to provide comfort and safety for her protagonists as their stories progress. By the end of this thesis, it is clear that Jackson?s work is a bleak chronicle of trauma and anxiety. In the starkest terms, she exposes just how few options women have in the face of a society that refuses to allow them to be whole individuals.

Full textThe aim of this dissertation is to examine the concept of time in 20th century southern literature through the writings of Walker Percy, Peter Taylor, Shirley Ann Grau and Reynolds Price. Through a selection of novels and short stories I shall attempt to explain how southern literature reflects the communal spirit of the region and grapples with a forever elusive time. Each in their own way, these four writers show the correlation between memory and oblivion, life and death. Their works are haunted by the notion of origin: the lost origin of a time that cannot be grasped, the missing origin of a mythic word whose relation to truth is often problematic. The representations of the surrounding world are blurry, the here and now never seems welcoming; hence the protagonists’ constant need to escape. The past that emerges under different guises locks up the characters in existential questionings and haunts their present. The close relation binding the literary production of these four writers with time suggests that southern authors write historical fiction in spite of themselves

Full textThis thesis examines the representation of domesticity in the psychological and physical lives of women in literature. The interpretive question of the argument asks, how does the haunting of domesticity affect and create meaning in the lives of female characters? Domesticity is an idea that has been used to as a means of submission by a domineering other. The idea of domesticity is a catalyst that is used to help Hulga Hopewell from Flannery O’Connor’s “Good Country People” and Eleanor Vance from Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House to break away from oppressive influences; by examining these feminist narratives we will see how two women attempt to survive the physical and mental hauntings of domesticity and its effects on their minds and bodies as they try to preserve the self. Hulga and Eleanor are women who are not following the expectations of family nor society, as they choose to take different paths in life, they face judgment and criticism for not following societal norms. These women will struggle against the domesticity that has been passed down for generations through their mothers. Hulga is forced to move back home, where she tries everything to avoid her mother’s brand of domesticity, and Eleanor runs away trying to escape the bonds of domesticity. Both women come face to face with their deepest fears when they confront this haunting; and ultimately will be physically and mentally traumatized.
