Meyer, Ronald. « Anna Frajlich's New York City ». Polish Review 67, no 1 (1 avril 2022) : 119–40. http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/23300841.67.1.10.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Anna Frajlich was exiled from her homeland in 1969 and arrived in the United States a year later. This article traces through her poetry and prose the arc of Frajlich's residence in New York, from wary foreigner, residing in windswept Brooklyn, up to her present status as retired Columbia University faculty member who has made her home on Manhattan's Upper East Side. In other words, from her earliest poem about Brooklyn in 1973 to poems in which she describes events from her apartment on the Upper East Side, published in early 2021. In the essay the author draws on his first-hand experience as participant in her 2017 reading at the Cornelia Street Café; translator of Frajlich's volume of short fiction, Laboratorium [The laboratory, 2018], and editor of Frajlich's Ghost of Shakespeare: Collected Essays (2020). While the poetry is the main object of study, the article looks at the short story “Laboratorium,” filling in the realia about the New York Blood Center behind the fiction, including the biography of the head researcher, Dr. Wolf Szmuness, an internationally recognized expert who came to the United States from Poland, after spending time in Stalin's Gulag. And lastly, the piece examines two poems published in 2021: “Morza i rzeki” [Seas and rivers], which brilliantly sums up Frajlich's interest in bodies of water, for example, “Brooklyn Canzone” (1973), and the poem “Z marginesu pandemii” [From the margins of the pandemic], where the poet sees hope for the end of the pandemic and the unnatural isolation experienced by so many in the previous year and a half.

Texte intégralRésumé :
AbstractThe metaphorical phrases Daughter Zion and Daughter Jerusalem are to be understood as appositional genitives referring to the city of Jerusalem in spite of a recent proposal to the contrary. They are part of a larger literary and cultural deposit of personifying the city and should be interpreted in that light. The kinship connotations of the city as "daughter" are then explored and located in the larger root metaphor of YHWH's household, along with certain of the city's other roles (e.g. spouse, widow and mother).

Texte intégralRésumé :
Nicknaming his city “Dear Old Lady Thrift,”Milwaukee Journalwriter Richard Davis chastised city leaders for failing to build a “great city.” His unflattering portrait pictured post–World War II Milwaukee as a “plump and smiling city . … [sitting] in complacent shabbiness on the west shore of Lake Michigan like a wealthy old lady in black alpaca taking her ease on the beach.” He continued, “All her slips are showing, but she doesn’t mind a bit” (Davis 1947: 189, 191). Reprinted in theMilwaukee Journaltwo weeks before voters went to the polls to decide if the city would reverse its debt-free policy to finance postwar development, Davis’s depiction warned that Milwaukee was a chaotic andin efficient metropolis in danger of falling behind(“Not So Fair Is America’s Fair City”Milwaukee Journal[hereafterMJ], 16 March 1947). Her thriftiness bordered on stinginess, her complacency slipped into indolence, and her neglected femininity bespoke disorder. City leaders’ frugality, rooted in a tradition of cautious municipal fiscal policies, big city problems mismatched with small town attitudes, and public “indifference,” Davis contended, threatened the postwar city.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Full of morbid humour and painfully honest narrations, Laura Hird’s stories— mainly set in the city of Edinburgh— deal with relationships of power, family values and her narratives always offer her unique view on the city she was born in and its people. Through these stories, she presents her unparalleled perspective on the beauty of some of the city’s hidden locations which are not portrayed by others. As she mentions in Dear Laura, Hird considers herself to be a ‘constipated romantic’, and that is simply a great way to summarise her work, as her way of portraying life through writing is not always pleasant, yet ever phenomenal. While her first published work allowed her to be included amongst a group of male authors; her first story collection and her novel roared originality and offered a different city of Edinburgh, and her last collection put the cherry on top with yet more uncomfortably true stories about queer Scottishness as part of her urban observations.

Blásquez, Elsa Barberena. « Sor Juana and her library world ». Transinformação 12, no 1 (juin 2000) : 83–92. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/s0103-37862000000100008.
Texte intégralRésumé :
There has been numerous documents about Sor Juana since Juan Camacho published his first volume in Madrid in 1689, and more so during 1995, her anniversary. There is no certainty about the date of her birth, it is placed between 1651 and 1653, she died in 1695. The magazines A BSIDE. REVISTA DE CULTURA MEXICANA during the period 1941-1973 published 25 articles, and CONTEMPORÂNEOS eight articles from 1929 to 1931; the BOLETIN DE LA BIBLIOTECA NACIONAL published five articles in 1951 and I960, but none of these deal with her library. The following authors have discussed her library: the writer, Ermilo Abreu Gómezf1934); Alfonso Méndez Plancarte (1944); the art historian and critic, Francisco de la Maza (1952); the poet Octavio Paz (1982); the ex-director of the Mexican National Library, Ignacio Osorio (1986). I think that the 4000 volumes of this library played an important part in her writings, and much more than companions: objects of her world. This library unfortunately, disintegrated by her at the end of her life, is an example of library collections and libraries of the New World, together with the first academic library built in Mexico City: "La Biblioteca del Colegio de Santa Cruz de Tlatelolco " (1536). To know about the titles of some of these books, whose existence can only be seen in two of the paintings of Sor Juana, one by the Mexican artist Juan de Miranda, active from 1697 to 1711, owned by the "Universidad Nacional Autônoma de México", and the other by the Mexican painter, Miguel Cabrera at the "Museo Nacional de Historia del Castillo de Chapultepec" in Mexico City, gives us an idea not only of her library, but of her world. The XVIIc in Mexico City is a baroque century with its four social entities: the Court, the Church, the City and the Convent in which Sor Juana lived. If we take into consideration her writings, there was a fifth entity, the Hispanic literary world. Sor Juana with her beauty, charm, intelligence and ability to deal with the most important personalities of her time was considered a string between the New and the Old Worlds because of her literary contributions as a woman, more so as an American woman of the XVIIc. She is pondered by Alatorref1995) as the spiritual gold similar to the gold extracted from the New World mines. In a metaphorical way her writings are the result of her intellect and of the contents extracted from the books which represented the world of knowledge contained in her library.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Young's argument for a group-differentiated, culturally pluralist form of social life is grounded in her compelling critiques of universalism and the dominant distributive paradigm of justice. Rejecting ‘the logic of identity’ that suppresses difference, and models of justice in which power is not seen as relational, she offers an alternative vision of social life that includes and empowers groups on their own terms. ‘City life’, which allows persons and groups to interact in common spaces without dissolving into unity, serves as her normative ideal. Although her analysis suffers from a one-dimensional conception of reason and her privileging of the urban scale is problematic, Young has produced a provocative book that leads the reader to consider the spatial characteristics of a just society.

Texte intégralRésumé :
On February 15, 1886, in a New York City courtroom, Bridget Grady placed her mark on an affidavit charging Bernard Reilly with rape. The twenty-six-year-old servant told the magistrate that in July of the previous year, while her employer was in the country, Reilly had called on her at the east 38th Street home where she worked. he had been Bridget's “steady company” for about three years and had “several times told her that if he married at all, he would marry her.” During the visit he made what Bridget described as unexpected, unprecedented “advances” to her. When she resisted, Reilly seized her, and they fell to the floor. Bridget, being, as she put it, a “proper and virtuous woman,” became so frightened at Reilly's conduct that she immediately lost consciousness. While Bridget was in that state, Reilly had sexual intercourse with her, as a result of which Bridget became pregnant. once she regained consciousness, Bridget “began to cry, and declared she would kill herself; he took her upon his lap and tried to pacify her, telling her at that time that if anything came of it he would marry her.” As a result of that promise, Bridget took no action against Reilly. Seven months later, however, still unmarried, and due to give birth to a child in two months, Bridget had come to the court to make a complaint.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Kültür milletleri var eden yapı taşıdır. Kültür bir yönüyle toplumsal bellektir ve insan beyninin ürettiği her şeydir. Kültür insanı hayvandan ayıran sadece insana ait bir kavramdır. Kültür insanlar tarafından paylaşılan ve gelecek kuşaklara intikal ettirilen göstergeler bütünüdür. İlk çağlardan günümüze kadar toplumların yaşayışlarında, giyim kuşam, yeme içme âdetleri, düğün, bayram ve ölüm törenleri gibi birçok alanda değişmeler yaşanmıştır. Bunun sonucunda her millete ait farklı uygulamalar ve çeşitlenmeler oluşmuş, toplumları birbirinden ayırıcı özellikler ortaya çıkmıştır. Kültürün özü aynı kalmakla birlikte sürekli değişim halindedir ve gelecek kuşaklara evirilerek aktarılmaktadır. Yine her toplumun kurallarını kendi belirlediği ve kurallarına uyduğu gelenekleri vardır. Bu bağlamda ele aldığımız kültürel değerler sistemi geleneksel mesleklerin de ortaya çıkmasını sağlamaktadır. Geleneksel meslekler yerelle uyum içinde olan ve yerel topluluk tarafından gerçekleştirilen ekonomiye dayalı mesleki faaliyetler olarak tanımlanır. Bir mesleğin gelenek kapsamında değerlendirilebilmesi için toplumun ona ihtiyaç duyması ve uzun süreli bir pratiğinin olması gerekmektedir. Bu meslekler usta-çırak ilişkisiyle sürdürülür ya da babadan oğula geçerek gelecek kuşaklara aktarılır. Anadolu’nun her yerinde geleneksel meslekler toplumun ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda ve teknolojik gelişmelerden de etkilenerek varlığını sürdürmektedir. Bu mesleklerden biri de Çarşamba yumurta topuk ayakkabıcılığıdır. Tarihi uzun yıllara dayanan ve günümüzde de varlığını koruyan Çarşamba yumurta topuk ayakkabısı yapımı usta-çırak ilişkisiyle günümüze kadar ulaşmıştır. Bu çalışmada Çarşamba yöresine ait olan yumurta topuk ayakkabısının tarihi gelişimi, yapılış evresi, kullanılan malzemeleri ve tanıtımı; bir kent ve kültür imgesine dönüşümü ve kültür endüstrisine katkısı ele alınmıştır.

Bode, Rita. « Wharton’s Living City in “Bunner Sisters” ». Edith Wharton Review 38, no 2 (novembre 2022) : 167–88. http://dx.doi.org/10.5325/editwharrevi.38.2.0167.
Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Edith Wharton’s early novella, “Bunner Sisters,” shows the author’s engagement with ecological thinking from early in her career. Despite her sometimes negative comments on cities, Wharton’s fiction reveals the appeal that the urbanscape held for her imagination. An ecocritical approach, informed by urban ecology, traces in “Bunner Sisters” Wharton’s understanding of the city as a dynamic entity made up of multiple interdependencies that include both animate (human and non-human) and inanimate matter. Wharton’s ecological awareness illuminates the sisters’ relationship to their surroundings through their forays into green spaces and engagement with flowers. In Evelina’s case, especially, it illuminates the seductive and detrimental effect of social ideals concerning the marital status of women. More broadly, the sisters’ urban context looks forward to best practices in urban planning. With remarkable prescience, Wharton’s New York in “Bunner Sisters” functions along urban principles aimed at maintaining vibrant cities that align with those espoused by late twentieth-century urban activist Jane Jacobs and subsequently adopted by urban planners and designers.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Vidutė Gumbytė (1949–2021), who was known as Rožytė (Rosie) by residents of the city, strolled the streets of Vilnius for almost five decades. Her story was unique, her style of fashion was eccentric, her lifestyle was idiosyncratic. In this article, I analyse Vidutė Gumbytė-Rožytė’s story as a Vilnius legend. I argue that Vilnius residents were fascinated by her freedom from social norms, her unusual sense of fashion, and the mystique that surrounded her persona. Her story is a story about the city of Vilnius, which became freer, wealthier, and more tolerant of otherness in post-Soviet times.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The article presents the thematic analysis of the letters by the famous resident of Verkhneudinsk — Ulan-Ude Ekaterina Aleksandrovna Sergeyeva (married name Tan-skaya) at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries. The letters are a unique historical source shining a spotlight on everyday life of the city. We have chosen the letters in which Ekaterina told her family and friends about Verkhneudinsk. Being a native of Chita, Ekaterina perceived Verkhneudinsk as her native and beloved place due to the the fact that her family and friends lived there. Obviously, the young girl placed her atten-tion on the most vivid and significant events from the social life of the city, such as mobi-lization and the passage of the first train. Considering the city provincial and gray, she during her long stay in St. Petersburg was sincerely interested in its life. Summing up the study, we have emphasized that despite the scarcity of subject descriptions of the city E. A. Sergeyeva’s (Tanskaya) letters show us the love and warmth of the residents to the city regardless the monotony of its cultural and social life, and unsuitable living conditions.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This paper seeks to do an ecocritical reading of Toni Morrison’s Song of Solomon. Most slave narratives and African American novels have characters that move from the South to the North in order to escape slavery as well as make a better living. However, this novel is unique because Milkman undergoes a process of reverse migration – journeying from the North to the South. Also, the main character achieves a different kind of liberation. Although he is already a free man living in the 1950-60s America, Milkman is alienated from his historical roots because of the influence from his father Macon. The one who guides Milkman toward his ancestry is Pilate, his aunt, who lives in a totally opposite way from Milkman’s father Macon. In this paper, I focus on Pilate’s relationship to the environment – an ecocritical reading of the character. Pilate is important because she is the only guide for Milkman to achieve liberation. It is interesting that she, who is without a navel, lives in the Northern city, an urban environment, without any use of electricity and gas. Many studies on Pilate have already focused on her relationship to the physical environment, exemplified by her rural living style in the urban space; however, an ecocritical reading will provide various other aspects about Pilate. Pilate’s Afrocentric way of living, exemplified by her natural way of living, is significant due to the fact that she reclaims the space that African Americans were exempt from. Black people in America could not claim a space for themselves other than living like the mainstream whites or like a radical extremist. Pilate’s relationship to the environment is very unique she is able to have the agency to claim a space for herself as well as be rooted to her ancestry in the urban environment of the North.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article dicusses the gender struggle of Shauzia in Mud City by Ellis. The struggle implies the gender condition and critical point of view of the author based on the theory of representation and gender oppression. The representation theory based on Stuart Hall helps to uncover the dominating cultural codes which oppress Shauzia as a person while the gender theory contributes to analyze the layer of dominationin the level of individual, interactional and institutional. This study results in several findings as:the cultural codes represented in the novel are giving benefit the man by the power of military and powerful patriarchy where Shauzia finds hard to go out from camp and work as woman. Furthermore, gender theory plays on scrutinizing the idea as individual woman lacks of rights, and influence her interactional competence as well to stay inside the compound. The institutional system determines her exixtence only to accept what the compound has given to her and not more. Thus she is rejected when she wants to go to France. Ellis poses her self to tell the reader that the value of women in Afganistan at war is unworthy compare to what happens in Europe.

Texte intégralRésumé :
On a spring morning in 1919, worshipers leaving Mexico City’s cathedral were horrified to discover the body of a little girl who had fallen to her death from the Hotel del Seminario. Yet as far as the Excélsior newspaper was concerned, the tragedy that had ended that morning had actually begun with her conception. Her mother was a prostitute who lived in the hotel and busybody guests reported that the mother neglected her child. On the day of Domitila’s death, her mother was not at the hotel, as she had been admitted to the Morelos Hospital, which specialized in syphilitic prostitutes. The hotel’s guests did their best to care for Domitila, giving her food, affection, and chiding when she played on balconies: one moment of inattention allowed the tragedy. The article concluded that perhaps it was for Domitila’s own good that she had died falling off a balcony. Readers did not need to be told why Domitila was better off dead, because the case encapsulated common anxieties about childhood and parenting in Porfirian and revolutionary Mexico.

Texte intégralRésumé :
One of the obvious strengthsof Margaret Harkness's 1887 novelA City Girlis its comprehensive visual record of London's East End. Harkness depicts Whitechapel's geography and public and residential spaces with an authority derived, as we know, from her voluntary residence in the Katharine Buildings, thinly disguised in the novel as the Charlotte Buildings. The Katherine Buildings were a block of apartments for working class tenants built by the East End Dwelling Company; Harkness lived in them for a few months in 1887 and was one of a wave of middle-class women who ventured into such residences, sometimes as employees (“lady rent collectors”) and sometimes, as with Harkness and her cousin Beatrice Potter (later Webb) as writers determined to document in fictional or non-fictional form the conditions in which the poor lived. Harkness's first-hand experience and descriptive acuity has inspired some rich and productive scholarship onA City Girl, which in the form of two scholarly editions (one recent and one forthcoming) is the subject of a modest renaissance. From a literary perspective, most scholars have grappled with the novel's generic affiliation, describing it variously as a New Woman novel, a socialist novel, a sentimental novel, and an example of English naturalism. Some of these critics – principally John Goode and Rob Breton – combine a study of the novel's generic signs with historical attention to Socialism, one of Harkness's many ambivalent and abbreviated political and institutional affiliations in the 1880s and 90s; they use the literary lens of genre study to better understand the author's political consciousness in the context of late-Victorian reform politics. Pursuing another horizon of inquiry, I turn away from the novel's documentary evidence and generic and political loyalties to its elusive but revealing study of artistic representation. It is not the sociological or political milieu of Harkness's East End heroine, Nelly Ambrose, that interests me, but the link that Harkness establishes between Nelly's impoverished mind and her impoverished world, which I read principally through her unfamiliarity with narrative representation. Harkness sustains two discrete perspectives inA City Girl: Nelly experiences the world in episodic moments, and her inability to shape these moments into a purposeful or predictive sequence makes her effectively powerless to control the events that shape her life. Her distance from a narrative consciousness alerts us to the second perspective in the novel which might otherwise escape special notice: the narrative realism thatA City Girlparticipates in, that the experience of reading the novel activates, and that is self-consciously followed by Arthur Grant, Nelly's seducer. Arthur's class-based narrative advantage over Nelly enables him to write the story of their affair and control its outcome much in the way that the readers ofA City Girlhave worked to make sense of Nelly's detached and inexpressive character, and have often made their own determinations about the novel's ending. The medium of the novel's hostility to Nelly's particular kind of consciousness is a metaliterary reflection, then, of the subjugation by narrative disadvantage that we see play out in the story.

Katz, Sherry J. « “A Triumph for Women” in Progressive Era Los Angeles : Socialist-Feminism, Coalition Building, and Independent Partisanship in the Political Career of Councilwoman Estelle Lawton Lindsey ». California History 99, no 2 (2022) : 2–31. http://dx.doi.org/10.1525/ch.2022.99.2.2.
Texte intégralRésumé :
In June 1915, socialist-feminist Estelle Lawton Lindsey became the first woman elected to the city council of a major metropolis in the United States. While Lindsey ran as a “woman’s candidate,” she won her seat on the Los Angeles City Council by constructing a broad and diverse electoral coalition. Although organized womanhood (largely white and middle class) constituted the heart of her coalition, she garnered significant backing from many reform constituencies, including trade unionists, socialists, progressive reformers, and African American community leaders. Lindsey turned coalition building into a successful electoral strategy for two major reasons. First, although Lindsey was a socialist, she ran for city council as an independent, adopting an independent partisanship, resting between the gendered political cultures of her day, that likely broadened her support among both female and male voters. Second, the structure of the city council election, in which candidates ran in a nonpartisan, at-large, and multimember district race, made the election of women like Lindsey possible in this period. Once elected, Lindsey championed measures tied to the goals of the electoral coalition that had embraced her candidacy and worked with coalition groups (especially women’s clubs) on specific policies. Despite robust support and collaboration for two years, Lindsey’s electoral coalition ultimately fragmented and doomed her reelection bid in 1917.

This study aims to determine the intelligence quality revealed in Veronica Roth's Allegiant. The author conducted this study using qualitative research based on Lincoln, and the data collection used two ways: Primary sources and secondary sources. The primary data collection was from the novel, and secondary data collection used references from articles, journals, books, and the internet. In analyzing the data, the author used a reader-response approach based on Cagri Tugrul Mart. The results of this study showed that Tris, the main character, used her intelligence qualities against the leader of the city of Chicago, Evelyn, and the leader of the Genetic Welfare Bureau, David. When Evelyn became the new city leader, the people expected her could stop the disputes between factions. However, Evelyn used her power for other purposes.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Mansfield Park is the work of Jane Austen, a prominent 18th century female writer. In this novel, Austen depicts the city of London in an indirect way, thus expressing her concern for urban problems in the context of industrialization. Austen portrays two siblings from London, self-serving Crawfords, who neglect morality, and follow the philosophy of money, indirectly reflecting many of the city’s problems. In addition, the urban values gradually penetrate the country represented by Mansfield Park, and the characters in the novel are also affected, such as Maria eloping with Mr. Crawford and thus getting into a scandal, and the Bertram siblings and others staging degrading theatricals at home. And the novel’s heroine, Fanny Price, is the only character in the novel who resists the temptation of urban values. Austen sees her as a representative of the country culture, and her noble behavior represents the resistance of the country culture to the city values. Austen’s writing about the city in Mansfield Park also reflects her intention to try to correct the problems caused by urban development.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract Julia Pardoe, an English poet and historian, was among the first travel writers who described Hungary’s institutions and contributed to the shaping up of the nineteenth-century British image of Hungary In her book The City of the Magyar or Hungary and Her Institutions (1840), she thoroughly reported her experiences and observations regarding a country that, although being part of East-Central Europe, had not stirred the interest of the British public Pardoe’s narrative contravenes the patriarchal ideology of travel writing as well as the act of travelling per se as masculine preoccupations, while, in my view, it seeks to negotiate the gender norms of her age by adopting an equally acceptable colonialist perspective as well as a conventionally feminine, a gentlewoman’s narrative perspective on the page By making use of Andrew Hammond’s theory of “imagined colonialism,” I shall demonstrate that Pardoe’s text can be interpreted as a negotiation between the conflicting demands of the discourse of female travel writing and of colonialism In discussing Pardoe’s travel account, I am also interested in the (rhetoric) ways in which the female traveller formulates her observations on Hungarian landscapes, people, and culture as civilized or less civilized – according to her own British national ideals and class norms Pardoe’s portrayal of Hungarian otherness served to raise the curiosity as well as the sympathy of the British towards a nation that was in need of and ready for progress/reform in the years before the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 1

Abstract: This reflective essay recounts two of my personal experiences with Elizabeth Cook-Lynn. My first encounter with her was in 2009 when I attended a class she taught on American Indian studies. I found her forthright in her teaching and in our personal exchange after the class. She said something to me that ended my lifelong inner struggle with my identity. What may have seemed inconsequential was actually a profound moment that helped me move forward to focus my writing on American Indian issues. My second encounter with her was a tense moment in the racist history of Rapid City, South Dakota. I attended a rally to call attention to the inordinate number of Lakota people killed by Rapid City's law enforcement. Twenty-four hours later, a Native male residing at Lakota Homes in Rapid City was shot and killed by a Rapid City police officer. Elizabeth and I attended a small gathering of concerned citizens to address the situation. Already familiar with her as a scholar, author, poet, and educator, I saw her that day as an activist.

Texte intégralRésumé :
On May 28,1912, Katherine Philips Edson took her seven-year-old son by the hand and headed for her local polling precinct. Women had recently won suffrage in California, and Edson went to exercise her new right. This was a special referendum election, and she needed to consider a number of very different issues. Should she support the creation of an Aqueduct Investigation Board? Should she allow the city to collect funds to erect a new city hall? On this day, the question on the ballot that interested her most was the one that she had played a role in crafting. It read, “Shall the ordinance providing for the tuberculin test to be applied to dairy cattle producing milk furnished to the City of Los Angeles, or its inhabitants, be adopted?” After casting her vote, she remained outside with her son at her side and attempted to persuade the electorate that they should vote in favor of the tuberculin ordinance because it protected the public, especially children, from tuberculosis. The Los Angeles Herald photographed her plea for pure milk and placed it on the front page of the evening edition. Much to Edson's dismay, however, the bill was resoundingly defeated.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study aims to determine the intelligence quality revealed in Veronica Roth's Allegiant. The researchers conduct this study by using qualitative research based on Lincoln, and the data collection uses two ways: Primary sources and secondary sources. The primary data collection are from the novel, and secondary data collection use references from articles, journals, books, and the internet. In analyzing the data, the researchers use a reader-response approach based on Cagri Tugrul Mart. Intelligence quality talks of how well a person's intelligence excels. Intelligence can apply to many contexts, such as intelligence in strategy and intelligence in survival. Their qualities can be assessed by how well the performance and the achievements gained. The results of this study show that Tris, the main character, used her intelligence qualities against the leader of the city of Chicago, Evelyn, and the leader of the Genetic Welfare Bureau, David. When Evelyn became the new city leader, the people expected her could stop the disputes between factions. However, Evelyn used her power for other purposes. Tris felt she had to do something to stop Evelyn from her act of cruelty that ruled over the city by unilateral decisions. Tris also joined the Allegiant group to fight Evelyn and left the city to find out the truth about the factions. When Tris and her friends managed to get out of town, they met David. David told all the truth about the existing faction system. He also told Tris that the Bureau would use memory serums on the people in the city to erase their memories and reorganize their memories according to the Bureau's wishes. Tris and her friends tried to stop David from executing his plans. In the end, they successfully stopped David and saved the city of Chicago

Texte intégralRésumé :
When, in Clarice Lispector's The Besieged City (1949), our protagonist, Lucrécia, contemplates her relationship with the city of São Geraldo, she pays special attention to water and water infrastructure. Pipes and embankments and viaducts, even the humble faucet – all of this technology of controlling and delivering water becomes a way of conceptualizing the city, but waterworks, I argue, is also an integral part of the text's experiment with vision. Can one see what is there? Can one see the "thing" liberated from our vocabularies? In Chapter 6, in which, supposedly, nothing is happening, Lucrécia is at the faucet, doing the dishes, losing her sense of self as she communes with the city. Later, when she notices a broken faucet in the storeroom, she confronts the thingness of this piece of equipment. To realize the thingness of herself is her most powerful desire. My analysis attempts to complicate feminist readings of The Besieged City by arguing that the text imagines objectification not as a problem, but as a paradoxical attempt at agency. Previous readings approach Lispector's novel as a condemnation of the city; my analysis understands The Besieged City as a representation of the modern sublime.

She had carefully prepared for the pious act of will writing, issuing over thirty meticulously designed religious directives in her last will and testament. Two directives in particular reveal much about colonial Mexican religious sensibilities.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In 1549, Juana Gelofa Pelona, an enslaved African woman, was a witness in a legal case in the city of Santo Domingo, on the island of Hispaniola. The defendant, Francisco Bravo, was accused of killing his wife, Catalina de Tinoco, and presented Juana as his witness to testify on his behalf. Both Francisco and Catalina had been Juana’s enslavers; and, Catalina's family, in whose possession Juana had lived for multiple generations, warned her not to testify in favor of Francisco. Nonetheless, she testified with conviction, despite being threatened and punished severely by her new enslavers who resolved to sell her to another enslaver in a different city to avoid her continuous defiance of Catalina’s family in court. This article proposes that Juana orchestrated her own sale to rid herself of her new owners who wanted to convince her at all cost not to say what she knew. The article also documents aspects of everyday life in sixteenth-century Santo Domingo by highlighting details shared by the witnesses,

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article explores the response within the Seventh-day Adventist Church after Ellen G. White’s death to the dual emphases in her writings on the city and rural living. On one hand she strongly encouraged large Adventist institutions and families raising children to locate out of the cities. This was because of the advantages natural surroundings have on physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing, and to shield children and young adults from the evils and temptations of the city. While she recognized the evils in the city and God’s impending judgments, she aggressively pushed church leaders to take a more active role in evangelizing the cities, precisely because of their great need. The church was slow to respond to her plea for greater mission to the cities during her lifetime. Once she passed away, the gains made in city mission during her lifetime were gradually lost. Leadership focused on foreign missions but work in the cities seem to have fallen by the wayside, being replaced with a drive for all Adventists to move to the country. This paper’s focus is on the period from the 1910 through the 1990s.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Calgary's MoMo Mixed Ability Dance Theatre imagines a particular role for itself within the city. The company takes its name from the eponymous heroine of Michael Ende's children's novel, Momo. She is a young girl with a gift for listening who lives in the ruin of an amphitheatre at the edge of a city. Momo understands reality from an unusual perspective and sense of time. This affords her a strength that she uses to rescue the city from the men in grey suits who are bent on overtaking it. Her struggle against convention and her commitment to her place and time suggest also MoMo Mixed Ability Dance Theatre's aim of challenging Calgary audiences and unsettling a city best known for its recent economic growth and conservatism. MoMo's artistic director, Pamela Boyd, has described the company as “a model to the rest of society, of a truly just and diverse community” (“Your Face Here”). The kind of community that MoMo models builds upon rather than obliterates diversity: “We as a company are artists by using and exploring differences in order to create” (Boyd; qtd. in Campbell 46).

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article suggests that over recent decades Catalan literary criticism has paid too little attention to the aesthetic attributes of Catalan literature and emphasised the social, political and cultural at the expense of discussions of narrative poetics. Through an analysis of Montserrat Roig’s metaphorical use of the city in her first novel Ramona, adéu, I put forward the view that the aesthetic features of Catalan literature need to be re-claimed. This article provides a critical analysis of the aesthetic importance of Roig’s representation of the city in her first novel and argues that she uses Barcelona as a critical tool through which to explore questions of both female emancipation and aesthetic freedom. Following a detailed discussion of Roig’s descriptions of how her female characters interact with particular urban spaces, I examine how Roig makes subtle shifts in her semantic register during these narrative accounts when her prose moves into the realm of the poetic. I conclude that this technique enables us to read her accounts of urban space as metaphors for aesthetic freedom and are inextricably linked to her wider concerns on the importance of liberating Catalan literature from the discourse of political nationalism.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In the Urals’ modern poetry, Ekaterina Simonova is one of the most powerful and interesting poets with a distinctly own voice. The article deals with Simonova’s poetic geography, limited to the Ural region. Simonova came out of the so called «Nizhny Tagil poetry school», Yevgeny Turenko was her and other Tagil poets’ teacher. Since 2013, she has been living in Ekaterinburg, but Nizhny Tagil retains its central importance in her poetry as a city of childhood and youth, a city of poetic origins, a place of memory, and empirically, a city where her parents live and where she visits regularly, so in poetry it also acts as a city-road. Simonova’s poems are close to docu-poetry and resemble oral narratives that naturally gather into free verse. She writes plot poems about space and place, in which a special story is attached to each locus, taken from life, not necessarily personal, often from the life of her family. As a commentary and addition to Simonova’s poems, the article cites her posts from the social network – akin to diary entries, among them the story of «grandmother Matrena» stands out, who once lived in the village of Visimo-Utkinsky, founded by Akinfiy Demidov. The small history of the family is closely connected in this narrative with the big history of the country, in which, of course, Ekaterina Simonova herself is involved.

"Glorvina Fort, the daughter of the American consul in Tangier, John Mullowny (d. 1830), spent seven years in this city around 1824-31. She published a book on her experiences there in 1859.

In this paper the scant information preserved on Glorvina Fort is presented, as well as an analysis on her travel account. The narrative of Fort experiences in Tangier is strongly conditioned by her position as a foreign woman, and by her nearly ethnographic descriptions of domestic spaces in the city"

Texte intégralRésumé :
This article examines the representation of walking and the narrativization of borders in Troubles-era Belfast in Anna Burns’s 2018 novel Milkman. I argue that the protagonist, Middle Sister, develops her own narrative form and walking method as ‘tactics’ to challenge the city’s imposed sectarian geographies and as a response to navigating a city of intense surveillance. In her narrativization, Middle Sister replaces place references with her own complex naming system and lexicon and negotiates urban space by ‘reading-while-walking’. As a result, Middle Sister attempts to dislocate the political nature of the conflict by mediating Belfast on her own terms and asserting her own spatial practices. However, as I demonstrate in the final section in conversation with trauma theory, there are limitations to Middle Sister’s walking practice, which is disrupted by the urban hauntings of her troubled city, triggering particular psychosomatic responses and traumatic memories.

Sybella Gurney (1870–1926) made important and largely unrecognized contributions to British community design theory and practice. This essay begins with an exploration of her youthful social reform activities and academic influences including Leonard Hobhouse, John Ruskin, Auguste Comte, Frederic Le Play, John Stuart Mill, and Ebenezer Howard. These foundational pursuits inspired her to become an ardent cooperator affiliated with the Garden Cities movement and to serve as a sociologist seeking to kindle a “new civic spirit” for post -World War I reconstruction. Gurney, as part of an idealistic circle of thinkers which included Patrick Geddes, considered sociology as a means to realize complete Garden City-states based upon scientific, ethical, and participatory principles.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Abstract This essay builds on Priscilla Parkhurst Ferguson’s pioneering inquiry on reading and writing Paris as the site of a democratizing and modernizing process and, more specifically, on her approach to Jules Vallès’s “performance of politics” in Le Tableau de Paris and L’Insurgé. I examine the ways in which Vallès’s reading of the Paris of the early 1880s and excavation of the multilayered city’s past and cultural representations help foster the return of repressed voices and collective memories. Using the trope of the city as palimpsest, I argue that the critical power of nostalgia for revolutionary Paris aims to generate a new street aesthetics and an egalitarian public sphere.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In 1837, Margaret Prior became the first female missionary for the American Female Moral Reform Society. She traveled throughout the poorest neighborhoods in New York City’ entering barrooms, brothels, and sickrooms. Based on an analysis of Prior’s missionary reports, published in the society’s periodical and included in her memoir, this essay shows how Prior exerted an ethos of presence. Her willingness to traverse the seediest sections of the city, call on any person, and address any need exerted a powerful ethos in the communities she served and among the audiences who read and heard about her efforts.
