Abstract (sommario):
This thesis demonstrates that Clare’s faith is a highly personal and complex negotiation between the reality of the ‘religion’ confronting him in the world, a remarkable knowledge of literature and thought, and a reasoning and intelligent appropriation of influence. It begins by establishing that Clare’s love of certain aspects of Anglican orthodoxy was entirely compatible with his experimentation with alternative denominations. Its survey of ‘religion’ includes the Church of England and its adherents alongside other religious groups, insisting on an understanding of the Christian faith as an implicit presence (although one which was highly politicised, far from unchallenged, and certainly perceived as declining) within the quotidian life of Clare’s society. The thesis examines the importance of ‘alternative beliefs’ as phenomena coexisting with organised religion, assessing the extent of their coincidence, and thus offering a reassessment of what orthodoxy might mean to Clare’s village community. It goes on to acknowledge Clare’s intelligence and idiosyncratic learning (particularly his Bible reading), examining his attitude to ‘science’ and to such concepts as ‘Reason’, ‘Deism’, and ‘Revealed’ and ‘Natural’ religion. The second part of the thesis asserts that Clare’s religious conviction is reinforced by intense subjective spiritual experience. Having explored some ramifications of this, it goes on to reconsider Clare’s thematic treatment of ‘Eden’ and ‘eternity’, Concluding that, within a climate of religious enthusiasm, Clare interprets a sublime rapture repeatedly experienced in the presence of nature as the felt presence of the deity, it suggests that, even when intellectually he doubts his own faith, he is unable fully to relinquish a particular ‘knowledge’ of divinity. The thesis then analyses Clare’s representations of ‘evil’, demanding to know how faith in an omnipotent, benevolent deity is reconciled with a progressive and devastating sense of the predatory cruelty inherent in the natural world (this sense collides with Clare’s fervent love for his environment, coalescing with events emblematic of essentially theological ‘Falls’ which Clare believed, were perpetuated throughout his life). The thesis concludes by attempting to trace the elements of Clare’s creed, and by developing a new understanding of what his conception of ‘God’ might be.

Briggs, Brian. "The life and works of Osbert of Clare". Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/4597.
Abstract (sommario):
Osbert of Clare was an English monastic writer, whose works extended from the mid-1120s to the mid-1150s. His Latin hagiography reflects a deep admiration for Anglo-Saxon saints and spirituality, while his letters provide a personal perspective on his turbulent career. As prior of Westminster Abbey, Osbert of Clare worked to strengthen the rights and prestige of his monastery. His production of forged or altered charters makes him one of England's most prolific medieval forgers. At times his passion for reform put him at odds with his abbots, and he was sent into exile under both Abbot Herbert (1121-c.1136) and Abbot Gervase (1138-c.1157). Also Osbert, as one of the first proponents of the Immaculate Conception of Mary, wrote about the feast, worked to legitimize its celebration, and provided us with the only significant narration of its introduction to England. This thesis is divided into two sections. The first section is principally historical and the second is principally literary. In the first section, I provide an overview of Osbert of Clare's career and examine in greater detail two of his most significant undertaking: his promotion of Westminster Abbey and his attempted canonization of Edward the Confessor. In the second section, I give a philological study of Osbert Latin style and examine themes that nm throughout his writings, such as virginity, exile and kingship. Osbert's promotion of the feast of the Immaculate Conception is included in the second section of the thesis because of its ties to the themes of virginity and femininity within his writings. There are also two appendices: the first is a survey of the extant manuscripts of Osbert's writings, and the second is an edition of Osbert's unpublished Life of St Ethelbert from Gotha, Forschungsbibliothek MS Memb. i. 8l.

Hodgson, Andrew James. "Poetic individuality in Clare, Hopkins, and Edward Thomas". Thesis, Durham University, 2014. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/10794/.
Abstract (sommario):
John Clare, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Edward Thomas form a trio of disparate yet tantalisingly related poets. What distinguishes them also conjoins them: the desire, in Hopkins’ words, to invest their poetry with ‘an individualising touch’. The poetic achievement of all three is animated by the effort to discover an idiom that answers to the pressure of a unique cast of mind, feeling, and vision of experience. All three poets stand consciously apart from their period. They articulate a recurrent counter-voice in English poetry of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, grounded in an effort to imbue poetic language with an acutely personal bearing. The Introduction establishes the interrelation of their personal and poetic individuality, exploring the way their poems formulate and embody shared aims. Clare once enthused over Keats’s description in Isabella of an eye ‘Striving to be itself’. The phrase gets purchase on the spirit of embattled innovation that the three chapters on Clare’s poetry locate in his language. The first seeks to characterise the haphazard ingenuity of Clare’s style, pursuing his trust in a brand of seemingly improvisational inventiveness as a means of discovering new modes of expression. Chapter 2 concentrates on the more controlled aspects of Clare’s experimentalism, attending to his poems’ twinning of actual and literary discovery. Chapter 3 focuses more explicitly on the disarmingly personal nature of Clare’s poetry, thinking about its strange marriages of personal fervour and literary archetype. Hopkins insisted on ‘originality’ as a ‘condition of poetic genius’; but his poetry is alert to originality’s costs as well as its virtues. The concern of Chapter 4 is with how Hopkins’ valorisation of distinctiveness sits in tension with his wariness of ‘Parnassian’ – the quality of ‘being too so-and-so-all over-ish’; it contends that Hopkins is most himself at his most unpredictable. Chapter 5 extends an emphasis on Hopkins’ blend of craft and spontaneity, and the intricacy and fervour of his expression of feeling, into a consideration of the rich presence his poetry affords to the heart. Chapter 6 attends to the ways in which Hopkins’ nerviness about the potentially alienating qualities of his individual style feeds back into the distinctive tenor of his voice. Thomas thought that ‘nothing so well represents […] singularity as style’. The first chapter on his poems explores takes off from T. S. Eliot’s notion of the ‘auditory imagination’ to explore the fusion of poetic and personal ‘singularity’ in Thomas’s harnessing of the postures of speech, and experimentation with the forms and rhythms of folk song. A large part of the individuality of Thomas’s style owes to the intricacy and tenacity of his syntax, and Chapter 8 explores the way in which his poetry’s distinctive voice arises out of an effort to trace the contours of thought and feeling. A final chapter devotes itself to the way in which, for all his idiosyncrasy, Thomas, like Clare and Hopkins, strives to achieve intimacy with a reader, contending that his best poems often invite us into the confidence of a personality that remains finally elusive. A coda emphasises the inventiveness and personal candour that unites the three poets’ language.

Chirico, P. A. "Language and artifice in the poetry of John Clare". Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2001. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.597612.
Abstract (sommario):
This dissertation examines Clare's position at the borders of early nineteenth century culture, through a detailed analysis of his pre-asylum poetry, a restoration of the suppressed history of his cultural equivocations and compromises, and an investigation of his sophisticated and sustained interest in culturally determined abstracts such as antiquity and superstition. My introduction examines the responses of Clare's first reviewers, locating John Taylor's ambitious yet defensive championing of Clare within the context of an increasingly pointed attack on the propriety of 'unlettered poetry'. Chapter One considers the early influences on Clare's writing and his developing interaction with a vigorous cultural community. His self-positioning in relation to Keats focuses his awareness of reception and, later, his interest in posterity. As his analysis of the machinery of culture becomes increasingly sophisticated, his attempts to reassess the canon gather momentum. In Chapter Two I discuss in detail two sonnet sequences in which Clare's tributes to neglected writers and protests at corrupted literary tastes overlap with an interest in reading the natural world as text, and in particular in connecting the perpetual regeneration of that natural world with the perpetuation of literary success through the renewed attentions of future generations of readers. In the third chapter I explore Clare's attitude to antiquity, firstly by considering his relationship with the past, and with its artefacts, as a symbolic transgression of the social, geographical and temporal constraints of his present situation, and secondly by discussing the transformation of his writing on antiquity into an analysis of the limits of knowledge. This informs two central themes: the autobiographical anxiety of the rural poet attempting to establish a cultural community, and the desire to reaffirm on ongoing oral tradition capable of knowing and preserving both the past and the present of nature.

Williams, Thomas Richard. "Plural perspectives in the social observation of John Clare". Thesis, Queen Mary, University of London, 2014. http://qmro.qmul.ac.uk/xmlui/handle/123456789/9076.
Abstract (sommario):
My thesis examines social observation in the poetry of John Clare, focusing on his work in the years before he was committed to an asylum in 1837. The project illuminates a plurality of perspectives in his poetry that has not been fully recognized in previous critical studies. It resituates the conventional scholarly approach to Clare, which has been preoccupied by an overly oppositional conception of the ‘two cultures’ that he inhabited: the oral and the literary. My thesis positions him as an intellectually curious seeker whose poetry is invigorated by his experience of different value systems in both the country and the city. Each chapter considers how Clare develops different strategies of social observation in the context of different discourses, and how he unsettles the validity of various attitudes to human behaviour. Chapter One, ‘Naturalizing Perspectives’, offers a new approach to Clare’s interest in natural history, by examining its influence on his portrayal of human behaviour, when he adopts the detailed observational habits of the naturalist. Chapter Two, ‘Refined Perspectives’, shows how he negotiates the influences of poets who represented the social structure of rural life, and poets who were interested in rural subjectivity, in order to identify the distinctiveness of his presentation of customary culture in ‘The Village Minstrel’. Chapter Three, ‘Female Perspectives’, considers his interest in his female readership, and examines how his courtship tales – which have generally been neglected by critics – engage with the concerns about conduct and social elevation that occupied the literature aimed for this audience. Chapter Four, ‘National Perspectives’, examines how he responds to the ferment of political ideas in his time through his representations of the nation – another area that has been little served in critical studies. My Conclusion considers Clare’s later poetry in the asylum and his developing self-consciousness as a social observer.

Abstract (sommario):
La creation litteraire de john clare est nee de sa propre experience, sa source d'inspiration jaillit naturellement de sa douleur, de sa souffrance et des annees de lutte et de dechirement. Le sentiment d'insecurite le hantait en l'entrenant dans de longues periodes de prostration. Son univers s'est effondre en meme temps que son equilibre psychologique. Ceci va etre a l'origine de son divorce avec la societe et donner naissance a une exacerbation du processus identitaire. Identite qu'il n'a cesse de cherhcer durant toute son existence. La plupart des ecrits du poete posent l'eternelle interrogation: "qui suis-je?The litterary creation of john clare is born from own experience, his source of inspiration spings mainly from his suffering, and the years of struggle, wrench and heartbreak. The feeling of insecurity haunts him entailling him in long period of depression. His univers has totaly been collapsed at the same time as his psychological equilibrium, which gives birth to a kind of discord. Feeling with the world and his feeling of identity. Identity which he has not give seeking since his early childhood and even to his maturity. Theleitmotiv of his whole writings is about the question "whom i am?"

A presente pesquisa buscou compreender como se constrói e como se expressa a religiosidade de um grupo de monjas paulistas da Ordem de Santa Clara de Assis. Em outras palavras, a investigação procurou refletir sobre as mudanças e as permanências que ocorrem nessa realidade específica, analisando as constantes (re)significações que as irmãs realizam sobre sua própria situação. Para tanto, foi necessário contextualizar as origens do monaquismo, da clausura religiosa e sua expansão no Ocidente, enfatizando a influência dos preceitos de Francisco de Assis sobre a fundadora da Ordem, Clara de Assis, no século XIII. Também foi importante fazer um levantamento historiográfico do desenvolvimento da vida religiosa feminina no Brasil até os dias contemporâneos, devido às transformações que vêm ocorrendo nos institutos de vida consagrada e afetam, também, a religiosidade clariana. Fez-se necessário pensar a trajetória das mulheres que compartilham desses ideais monásticos, compreendendo as motivações para o ingresso e permanência na vida religiosa, analisando seu cotidiano no claustro e refletindo sobre as relações dentro do mosteiro e além dele, isto é, com a hierarquia católica e a sociedade laica. A partir do trabalho etnográfico no mosteiro paulista, foi possível constatar que as religiosas se adaptaram a uma realidade capitalista e globalizada, conservando os preceitos de sua fundadora. As práticas da oração contemplativa, pobreza e clausura permaneceram como partes inerentes à vocação clariana. O estudo dessa religiosidade possibilitou a compreensão dos sentidos e significados atribuídos à eclesialidade contemplativa e permitiu conhecer qual o lugar da vida religiosa monástica feminina nos dias contemporâneos.
This research sought to understand how is built and expressed the religiosity of a group of nuns from São Paulo adepts to the Order of St. Clare of Assisi. In other words, the research sought to reflect on the changes and the continuities that occur in that particular reality, analyzing the constant (new) meanings that the sisters carry on their own situation. Therefore, it was necessary to contextualize the origins of monasticism, the cloistered religious and its expansion in the West, emphasizing the influence of the precepts of Francis of Assisi on the Order's founder, Clare of Assisi, in the thirteenth century. It was also important to make a historiographical survey of the development of Brazilian female religious life to contemporary days, due to the transformations taking place in institutes of consecrated life which affect also the Clarian religiosity. It was necessary to think about the trajectory of women who share these monastic ideals, understanding the motivations to enter and remain in the religious life, analyzing their daily life in the cloister and reflecting on the relationships within the monastery and beyond, that is, with the hierarchy Catholic and secular society. From the ethnographic work in São Paulo monastery was established that the religious have adapted to a capitalist and globalized reality, keeping the precepts of its founder. The practice of contemplative prayer, poverty and remained cloistered parts inherent to Clarian vocation. The study of this religion enabled the understanding of the senses and meanings attributed to the contemplative and it allowed knowing the place of female monastic life in contemporary days.

Abstract (sommario):
John Clare has sometime been regarded as a poet that demonstrates the characteristics of naïve poetry according to Schiller’s definition. This had led to ideas that Clare is resistant to philosophical readings and theories. Through careful consideration of the workings of his poetry, this thesis argues the reverse case. It asserts that Clare writes ontological poetry and poetry which ‘thinks.’ This thinking can be illuminated by the existential ontological concepts of Martin Heidegger, together with his later writings which interpret poetry as the language of Being. The chapters are organised to bring out the diverse and interconnected implications of these assertions. After the introduction which, among other things, defines key Heideggerian concepts, such as Dasein, Thrownness, Gelessenheit, The Open and ‘Thinging’, the initial chapter discusses Clare as a poet of Being according to Heidegger’s criteria and definitions. Clare is compared to Hölderlin, Heidegger’s ultimate philosophical poet. The chapter discusses Heidegger’s definition of essential poetry and subsequently emphasises its characteristics and traces them through Clare and Hölderlin. The next two chapters present Clare’s poetry as it conforms to Heidegger’s ideas of ‘pure poetry’ using the The Shepherd’s Calendar (1927) as exemplification. The first of these chapters uses the poems from ‘January’ to ‘June’ to reveal what Heidegger describes as the unconditionedness, or the unconditional and unconditioned intelligibility of Being’s essences. In chapter three the thesis demonstrates how Clare’s poetry, from ‘July’ to ‘December’, corresponds in its methods to the way in which Heidegger takes the noun ‘thing’ and transforms it into a verb. Chapter four addresses two treatments of Being within Clare’s nature poems. The first idea is that of nature as aletheia, a Greek word which Heidegger interprets as the disclosing of ‘truth.’ The second idea is that of Human Being. The ideas are linked in that nature as truth becomes a synonym for Clare’s own being. Chapter fives sees Clare as a poetic thinker, probing the existential significance of life. Chapter six discusses Clare’s writing about Being-in the world and Being-with others. The chapter highlights the irony of Clare as a poet of place who can find no sense of home. Clare uses poetry to alleviate his ontological homelessness. Clare’s later excursions into existential ontology lead to chapter seven and a discussion of the poet’s ontological shift to the Eternal. The final chapter compares Clare and Wordsworth as philosophical poets. An Appendix glosses key terms from Heidegger, in support of and cross-referenced to the expositions offered in the Introduction and elsewhere. Overall, the thesis explores and affirms the value of Clare’s work as an embodiment of ontology as a mode of thinking made possible by poetry.

Jayne, Y. "A study of John Clare in his historical and political context". Thesis, Nottingham Trent University, 2006. http://irep.ntu.ac.uk/id/eprint/252/.
Abstract (sommario):
As the title indicates, the basis of the thesis is to set John Clare’s life and work within the context of the social and political history of his time. It is a study that is long overdue. The manner in which topical and political matters were mediated to him and were reflected in his work are analysed. His introduction to the literary and social worlds of Stamford and London is evaluated, and the advantages and disadvantages of patronage assessed. The active and complex political culture of Stamford has been taken into account as this may have affected his later political statements and a growing awareness of his audience. His antagonism to enclosure and the social changes that it engendered are considered. Three major questions that arise from this are addressed. The two local newspapers that Clare is known to have read are used throughout. His correspondence with friends, colleagues and casual correspondents has provided valuable insights as have his poetry and prose writings. Research in the Northamptonshire Record Office has revealed important new information in the form of one book of Enclosure Commissioners’ Minutes dated 1809-14, the first five years of the enclosure of Helpstone, Clare’s native village.

Abstract (sommario):
This study addresses lesser known works of romantic poets John Clare and John Keats--Clare's Child Harold and Keats's poems to Fanny Brawne--which I refer to as their love poems because the works are informed by intense feelings the poets had for women they loved. Although these works have been the brunt of negative criticism because Clare was considered insane at the time of the composition of Child Harold and Keats was accused of using the poems to give vent to his personal sufferings, nonetheless I argue that the love poems are significant for several reasons. They are a reflection of the poets' personal experiences and also demonstrate their remarkable and surprisingly similar creative abilities in the way they use poetry as a means of devising new strategies for dealing with the painful realities of their disturbing lives. And because I feel it is important to understand Clare's and Keats's feelings for the women they love in order to understand their poetry (since the poetry is, after all, based on real life experiences), I provide chapters describing the poets's lives and loves, as well as their poetic processes, to serve as a framework for examining the poems. In the remaining chapters, I show how the poets incorporate highly sophisticated metaphor in attempting to reconcile the apparent conflicts the speakers in their poems are experiencing between their subjective responses to, and their rational assessment of human existence. In the process, the speakers experience various states of emotional upheaval ranging from what I refer to as periods of limbo, purgatory, and paradise, and they create personal thresholds and undergo differing states of self-awareness. In the final chapter I provide a summary of how these different emotional states are metaphorically effected, and then attempt to explain the value of Clare's and Keats's poetic achievements in the poems from a current perspective.

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis takes a contextual approach to the poetry of John Clare from his earliest attempts at publication in 1817 until his completion of The Midsummer Cushion in 1832. This reading discovers a complex, multi-voiced Clare that is opposed to the essential Clare found in the majority of studies. It widens our knowledge of Clare by investigating texts that are usually considered marginal to the canon. Chapter One examines the early manuscripts, which reveal a complex amalgam of voices. It considers the voice of alienated labour in detail. The study of 'Helpstone' reveals Clare's ability to use this voice in his published texts, and the centrality of loss and destruction to his work. Chapter Two considers the different voices of authorship created as Clare establishes himself as a published author. It examines the carnival scenes of 'The Village Minstrel', demonstrating that the division between author and community is never secure. It notes that the voice of loss in the poem is used to attack enclosure, but is ideologically different from that found in other pastoral texts. Chapter Three discusses the enclosure elegies and The Shepherd's Calendar in the context of Clare's support for open field, re-opening the debate over the historical effects of enclosure and demonstrating that he produces differing voices of protest and loss in different contexts. Chapter Four considers the different voices and versions of pastoral in The Midsummer Cushion, and concludes that control of the production of the volume allows the combination of a playful approach to pastoral with the creation of poems which question the content of the tradition. Conclusion: Clare's mode of access to the literary world is pastoral and these texts return to the destruction of the idyll so that he can voice a sense of loss that he shared with a class.

Abstract (sommario):
The present dissertation is focused on the work of Clare Boylan (Dublin, 1948 - 2006). Journalist, editor, novelist and short story writer, Clare Boylan is one of the most brilliant and witty voices of contemporary Irish literature.
The work provides a facing-page translation of five selected short stories —The Stolen Child; Edna Back from America; It’s Her; A Funny Thing Happened; Gods and Slaves — belonging to That Bad Woman collection, first published for Little, Brown in 1995. Each story is introduced by a commentary investigating Boylan’s writing with a particular reference to the perception of woman in Irish society, her familial relationships, her individual, psychological and social struggles seen through the witty and sympathetic author’s eye.
Furthermore, an introduction on author’s biography is provided, together with a dissertation on her role in the renewed contemporary scenario of Irish literature. In particular the work of Boylan is contextualized among the blooming current of Irish Woman Storytellers exploiting the narrative form of modern short story as the most powerful expression of their voices.

Abstract (sommario):
Music EducationM.M.
The Irish singing session has provided a safe community where singers of all abilities are welcome to share with and learn from one another. Through British occupation and into independence, the Irish session has transformed tremendously from its original form. Still, the session carries on the Irish tradition of music learning and enculturation through oral transmission. Singing sessions provide a unique opportunity for the many songs of Irish history to be sung and learned; passed down from generation to generation! Singers learn new songs through listening to and watching other singers, imitating material, experimenting with new ideas, and discussing musical performances with others. Session leaders may attempt to create an encouraging and accepting environment where singers feel secure, resulting in the unbridled sharing of singers’ deep connections with a song. Such methods, including personal choice and a safe environment, have been observed through field research and have shown to positively affect singers and communities related to singing sessions in County Clare, Ireland. In this study, I pose that the methods used in singing sessions may also be beneficial when adapted for use in the music classroom.

Abstract (sommario):
This article takes as its starting point that crime fiction is a public and political response to gender-based violence. Using the methods of both discourse analysis and literary analysis of the crime fiction genre, the novels of Margie Orford, internationally acclaimed crime author and patron of Rape Crisis, are examined for their representations of violence against women, and the role played by these representations in Orford’s overall feminist project in the Clare Hart series. The article also considers theories about gender-based violence which link male violence to a purported crisis in the established gender order of South Africa. An attempt is made to understand the relationship between fictionalised representations of violence and the ‘banality’ of real-life violence. Finally, Hart, Orford’s hard-boiled female detective figure, is assessed to determine whether this character constitutes a significant feminist achievement that contributes to discourses which counter gender-based violence

Suetta, Zachary Thomas. "THE IMPASSIONED SELF: ANGER AND THE ROMANTIC AUTHOR". OpenSIUC, 2019. https://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/dissertations/1669.
Abstract (sommario):
The late eighteenth century marks an era where authors began forging identities that rebuffed the influences of the local communities to which they belonged. As literacy increased, so too did the notion of individuality, as members of the middle and lower orders soon saw themselves as separate, independent beings. The crowd, of course, helped simplify the management of complex emotions like anger through mutual demonstration; the greater number of participants in a protest, the more fitting the sense of indignation seemed to be. For cases of personal anger, however, the suitability and expression of the emotion were problematic, especially for those marginalized by gender, status, and political affiliations. While polite society deemed their anger unwarranted, odious, and threatening, subaltern authors simultaneously realized that the continued denial of the passion would cripple individual and artistic development, but excessive expression would yield further ridicule and ostracism. Anger, therefore, stimulated these authors to discover their actual worth as artists and individuals and carve unique identities that completely disregarded the restrictive characterizations assigned by a hierarchical society. Nevertheless, anger’s volatility meant that discovering oneself from a passion commonly represented as a moment “when we are not ourselves” was a particularly precarious endeavor since righteous indignation could quickly ignite into a mindless, destructive rage. Subaltern authors needed to authenticate the legitimacy of their anger to not only a largely unsympathetic audience, but also themselves, and the apparent foreignness of rage created confusion over the passion’s exact relation to the individual; anger is frequently emblematized in contradictions—internal vs. external, activity vs. passivity, sanity vs. insanity, reality vs. fantasy—to emphasize its deceptive fluidity. As this study argues, anger was fundamental to marginalized figures in achieving selfhood, but the passion’s overall instability and the objection by hierarchical society encouraged a literary treatment that was cautious, unique, and at times, clandestine.

Abstract (sommario):
Burial is a highly symbolic activity through which concepts of the world are reflected in the representation and treatment of human remains. While mortuary studies in archaeology and anthropology have had a long history, our understanding of Neolithic societies through mortuary analyses is lacking. This research is a regional comparison of the taphonomy of three megalithic monuments in the Burren, County Clare, Ireland. Through an integration of taphonomy, bioarchaeology, and social archaeological theory, the burial practices of earlier Neolithic societies in Ireland were assessed to understand how societies used burial in socially significant ways. These methods further our understandings of these societies by revealing who, how many, and what types of people were buried here, as well as determine the history of the bones themselves. Finally, what types of burial rites took place and the treatment/manipulation of the dead is also understood through such integration. A comparison of burial practices also lessens the gap in our knowledge of the nature of social interactions and relationships on the Burren. The Parknabinnia chambered tomb, Poulnabrone portal tomb, and Poulawack Linkardstown-type cairn are located within 3 kilometres of each other, and date to contemporary periods. The osteology and bioarchaeology reveal very similar people were buried in these monuments. Yet, there are three morphologically different monuments, set into different landscapes. The taphonomic evidence further shows some differences in burial practices were taking place at these sites. However, it is important that we do not read differences in burial practices or typology to mean different cultures or people, as this research presents a very clear case for the availability of a variety of practices for even a single Neolithic society. A study of burial practices then can further inform about meaning and cultural practice during the Neolithic.

The production of academic text, commonly, awakens feelings in researchers that may hinder or even prevent the realization of its discursive - and life - projects. Therefore, the aim of this study was to present a deployment of the speech clinic focused on potential authors wishing to publish in sphere of academic communication in order to help provide support and help overcome insecurities that can inhibit the creative process in the writing field. The work is constituted in the interface with D.W. Winnicott psychoanalysis still having reference to ideas developed by Clare Winnicott and Marion Milner - the three authors dedicated to deepen facets of creating, giving clues into to how we are in a complex and delicate field which generates anxieties and sufferings. Were also narrated referential clinical episodes and then framed principles that guide the therapeutic writing space. The dialogue with the authors of reference as well as the clinical repertoire shared here allowed us to affirm the need for the therapist to practice care functions in this context, such as: welcoming the suffering brought by potential authors which involves listening carefully to their concerns and how they are outlined from their personal languages, demystify supposed difficulties or symptoms of diseases and especially restate the cultural object 'academic writing', to enable new experiences in the field of communication and enhance sayings invested with personhood
A produção do texto acadêmico, comumente, desperta nos pesquisadores sentimentos que podem dificultar ou mesmo impedir a realização de seus projetos discursivos, e de vida. Diante disso, o objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar um desdobramento da clínica fonoaudiológica voltada a autores em potencial que pretendem publicar na esfera acadêmica de comunicação, de modo a contribuir para dar sustentação e ajudar a superar inseguranças que podem inibir o processo criativo no campo da escrita. O trabalho se constitui na interface com a psicanálise de D.W. Winnicott, tendo ainda como referência ideias desenvolvidas por Clare Winnicott e Marion Milner os três autores se dedicaram a aprofundar facetas do criar, dando pistas de como estamos em um campo complexo, delicado e que gera sofrimentos e ansiedades. Foram também narrados episódios clínicos referenciais, sendo então emoldurados princípios que norteiam o espaço terapêutico da escrita. A interlocução com os autores de referência bem como o repertório clínico aqui compartilhado permitiu afirmar a necessidade de o terapeuta exercer funções de cuidado nesse contexto, tais como: acolher o sofrimento trazido pelos autores em potencial, o que implica escuta atenta de suas inquietações e da forma como são enunciadas, a partir de seus idiomas pessoais; desmistificar supostas dificuldades ou sintomas indicativos de doenças e, principalmente, reapresentar o objeto cultural escrita acadêmica, de modo a possibilitar novas experiências no campo da comunicação e potencializar dizeres investidos de pessoalidade

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis has set out with the intention of providing a detailed investigation of the pattern of urban development which occurred in the lordships of Glamorgan, Gwynllŵg, Caerleon and Usk between 1217 and 1314, The reason for concentrating upon the period 1217-1314 is that it was during this time that each of the four lordships passed into the hands of a single baronial family, the Clare earls of Gloucester and Hertford. A central theme of the thesis has been to obtain an understanding of the way in which urban development as a whole evolved during this period, with particular emphasis being placed upon the role played by the Clare seigneurs in shaping these developments. This question of seigneurial involvement is important, and sets the study apart from previous investigations into urbanisation in the four lordships. Whilst the individual development of towns within the lordships has generally received a fair amount of historical and archaeological investigation, very little attempt has been made to examine how the towns might have been interactive and interdependent in terms of administration and economic development when under the control of a common lord. In the course of this thesis consideration has been made of the development and evolution of the towns of Cardiff, Newport, Kenfig, Neath, Caerleon, Usk, Cowbridge, Trelech, Llantrisant and Caerphilly, and important aspects regarding the respective influence of the seigneur and the burgesses have been identified. In all the towns held by the Clares, it emerges that it was the seigneur who represented the dominant force in shaping urban development. Moreover, strong evidence has emerged to suggest that the Clares adopted and implemented a homogeneous attitude towards the development of urban centres in their Marcher lordships.

Abstract (sommario):
A mini dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Education in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master Of Education (Educational Psychology) in the Department of Educational Psychology and Special Needs Education at the University Of Zululand, 2017There is universal concern with regard to learners’ low reading levels (Klapwijk & Pretorius, 2016). Reading is one of the fundamental skills that learners need to master in their early school years of formal schooling in South Africa. Educators are expected to lay a good foundation of reading skills for the learners at this phase so as to build a strong learning foundation (DoE, 2011). Poor or incorrect teaching methods during these years may have an adverse effect on a learners’ schooling career. Teaching reading is a complex process in the classroom as educators are faced with challenges, which may result negatively in the learner’s capacity to understand and comprehend. Literature indicates that a large number of learners who cannot read and understand the text are mostly in the foundation phase. Thus, it was vital for the researcher to embark on this study. The aim of the study was to explore the phenomenon of the challenges educators experience in teaching reading in the foundation phase in Clare Estate Durban. The objectives of the study were: to explore some of the challenges foundation phase educators experience in teaching reading skills to learners; to determine the approaches that are used by educators to teach reading and lastly to explore some of the strategies that can be used to improve learners’ reading skills. This study employed a qualitative research methodology; a case study research design was used to gain an in-depth understanding of educators’ experiences in the teaching of reading. Information was derived by the use of focus group interviews. The study sample comprised of thirteen foundation phase educators. The findings revealed that some of the challenges that educators faced in teaching reading skills to learners in the foundation phase were as follows: language barrier, large class size, lack of parental involvement and the use of phonic and look and say approaches, which do not necessarily benefit all learners in class. The study explores strategies that could be used to improve reading in the foundation phase as well as the findings and recommendations towards minimising the challenges faced by educators teaching reading in the foundation phase.

Abstract (sommario):
Over the last twenty years, the analysis of social networks has become an increasingly significant tool for sociologists, anthropologists and historians alike. Network analysis has not yet, however, been adopted extensively by historians of ducal Normandy or the Anglo-Norman realm. Although there has been some useful work on specific families or political groups, these have tended to artificially isolate networks from one another and from their broader social milieux. It has become clear that these problems can only be addressed by both inter and intra network analysis over a broader time frame, and that those networks themselves must also be conceived in broad terms. This thesis therefore considers three aristocratic kin-groups of significant contemporary and subsequent importance; the Clares, Giffards, and Tosnys, and includes both their cadet branches and their in-laws. All three groups are examined in terms of their kinship structures, their roles as lords and vassals, and their relationships to the church. While much of the material is Anglo-Norman, the chronological range extends from c.940 to c.1200. The aim has been to produce a fuller picture of how all three great family enterprises were constituted, developed, interacted with one another and were embedded within society, and to acknowledge that no man, and indeed, no kin-group, is an island entire of itself.
