Bogoderova, A. A. "Temporary marriage as Russian literary pattern in the 19th – early 20th century". Sibirskiy filologicheskiy zhurnal, n.º 3 (2020): 92–106. http://dx.doi.org/10.17223/18137083/72/7.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The paper deals with the subject of temporary marriage between Russian sailors and Japanese women in fictional and non-fictional literature. The literary pattern of temporary marriage includes time limitation of the marriage, the language or/and cultural barrier and the man’s leaving at the end. The time limitation sometimes makes one or both spouses consider this marriage as legal, but “not true.” There are two main variants of the pattern in Russian travel notes of the 19th − early 20th century. The first is the positive one (A. Krasnov, D. Schreider, and N. Bartoshewsky). Both husband and wife are kind-hearted people, their family life is pure and real, although they do not entirely understand each other’s language. The second is the negative one (F. Knorring, D. Armfelt, G. de Vollan, and Vinogradov). Husband and wife are both pragmatic, rational, and cold, with the whole tradition turning into a sort of prostitution and insincere comedy. The plot variants, with one of the spouses being pragmatic, mercantile and cruel, and another loving, faithful, and suffering, are not common. Yuzhakov’s travel notes include such a rare case. The asymmetrical variant was more popular in Western fiction (Madame Butterfly). Russian fiction prefers the positive variant of the pattern. In short stories by D. Persky and M. Volkonsky, the authors transform the motives from Madame Chrysanthème by P. Loti and Madame Butterfly by J. L. Long by showing the Russians as noble people and achieving a happy end wherever possible.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Indian female writers attempt to depict the problems of women in the modern society dominated by male chauvinism and in rural India in particular, touching the feministic sensibilities. These female writers handle astonishing variety of themes. Among the women modern writers of fiction Kavery Nambisan occupies a unique place for more than one reason.She has begun her literary career by writing numerous children’s books. Female characters in her novels truly feel that love and marriage are not mere accidents but it is a trap and a cage where emotional stress haunts them through lack of care, bondage and love.
The character ‘Shari’ of Kavery Nambisan’s second novel Mango–Coloured Fish (2000), is a young girl, who is caught in a complex, entanglement of uncertainties and disillusionments, and she has different notions about the institution of marriage. Nambisan successfully depicted the contemporary younger generation pre and past marriage dilemmas and ordeals effectively and lively. The protagonist Shari wants to trace out her self-identity and freedom in this world and this is clearly presented in the novel Mango –Coloured Fish.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
When Dr Johnson made his famous eighteenth-century remark about second marriages being a triumph of hope over experience, his wit could easily have been directed toward the unions that Steven King has illuminated. It is never entirely clear why people marry or choose to marry the people they do, a situation that is as frustrating to historians as to friends and family. Marriage remains one of life's great mysteries, perhaps the last great mystery left to us. It fascinates and absorbs us, providing an inexhaustible audience for daytime soap operas and evening situation comedies. Romance novels top the fiction charts; and Hollywood returns to the theme time and again.Marriage fascinates precisely because it is so unpredictable, so much beyond our control. One would think that the riskiness of the lottery of love would frighten, even repel, us, but instead we are drawn to it as a gambler is drawn to the slots or the track. Love is, like gambling, a form of “deep play”, which reveals things about ourselves that we can only discover when we move from the world of choice to the realm of chance. Today, marriage is often the central episode in the stories we tell when we try to explain ourselves to ourselves and to others. It is the most elaborately celebrated and ritualized of all the events of the adult life course, the source of our most precious images and memories. Marriage is simply enchanting.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Abstract Both Donald Trump in the White House and zombies in American fiction, movie, and television serials, highlight changes in American social structures, especially marriage and childbirth. Instead of a critique of such structures, however, the zombie genre largely reinforces traditional norms. To be sure, Trump himself is not a zombie, although his followers are often represented the living dead in American political cartoons. What is the connection between the two? In the first place, zombie fiction can be viewed as culturally conservative in orientation, because of its emphasis (whether intentionally or not) on the traditional nuclear family. Second, zombies, almost by definition, do not have a leader, except that the genre deliberately toys with this theme in one recent television series. This paper discusses the two themes – crowds that become like zombies and leaders who create zombie-like followers – in the context of the genre’s overall conservative critique.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Marina Warner’s Inventory of a Life Mislaid: An Unreliable Memoir (2021) is her second work belonging to the genre of life writing, more particularly the memoir. She had already written a biography, The Dragon Empress: The Life and Times of Tz’u-Hsi, Empress Dowager of China, 1835-1980, about a Chinese empress in 1972, but her memoir is more personal, rather focused on her parents’ marriage, life itineraries and travels through Italy, England and Egypt during and after WWII. Interestingly, many characteristics of her memoir fit with another life writing genre, identified by the French theorist Dominique Viart in the eighties as the ‘filiation narrative,’ initially in reference to French fiction of the same period. The filiation narrative focuses on a self-reflexive search for parental images, reconstructing the mother’s or father’s life through the excavation of documentation and archives, as well as speculation. This article will attempt to show how such thematic and structural features of the filiation narrative as ‘archeological’ narration, the use of archival documents and objects to restore a parent’s ‘lost’ life and, most importantly, the metabiographical aspect of the ‘enterprise’ are reflected, in various degrees, in Warner’s memoir, making it waver between fiction and non-fiction. These same features may thus pave the way for the English counterpart of the French ‘récit de filiation’ and build a pertinent generic continuity between both memoir and filiation narrative.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This paper explores the cultural ambivalence and bicultural identity issues in Jhumpa Lahiri’s The Namesake. This Indian Anglophone novel carries different diasporic sensibilities. Issues of marriage and culture are very prominent with the importance of family relationships in the context of immigrant feelings and loss of identity. Unconditional love and acceptance of family relations emerge victorious at the end of the narrative. The writer shares the second generation migrant experience since they were born to parents who immigrated and settled to United States. While migrants from some of the Asian states, mainly those characterized by most recent immigrant waves, have really worse socio-economic situation than average immigrants; Indians people are rather prosperous minorities. Theories presented by Bhabha, Clifford and Appadurai about culture and diaspora support this research. Lahiri do not portray immigrants’ lives as a struggle to survive but rather concentrate on their affiliation to the country into which they arrived and also on their relationship with their American-born children. This research is helpful to know about the concerns associated with the liminal space and issues related to identity loss of first and second generations and living with a bicultural identity.

The woman transferred from a passive in the poetry world to an active entity in the novel's world which put her under the concern facing trouble and the society suffers that she has as a doubter, wife, and a sweetheart, the novel lance targeted her from the first beginning of this art, Al-Refaee is and of those who wrote about her to talk on the behalf of her tongue in most of his novel works. The reader of those novels find that it is built of three pillars: First: the case of the divorce and the divorced woman in the Arab society. Second: Educated woman and the failure marriage relationship. Third: the reason behind the woman's involvement in the matter of the outer marriage affairs. My work in this research will base on these three pillars and treating each one through the character which is a study that deals with this subject as more than art techniques and how the character in each pillar is a symbol of a sample of society for erecting more questions of the concentration on the satisfaction that allows changes. Aim of the research 1- Identifying the symbol of the women in the novel as a social phenomenon in itself. 2- The women's picture in Kuwaiti society. 3- The woman in the past (grandmen fiction), and the present (the event of the novel). The research significance: Putting the finger on women picture in the Kuwaiti society in particular and the Arab society in general and the mediation of calling for freedom and the violence she suffers from, the novel as the first are of the society plays a big role in turning the society page an identifying the troubles and all the changes especially the post-modern novel which uncovers the marginal people and makes them heroes that talks by theirs tongues and displays their problems, and this what we will be treating in our research, God willing.

Shehata, Abdel kareem. "The Unemployed Main Character in the Fiction of Kunut Hamsun and Najeeb Mahfouz: A Comparative Study in the Light of Sustainable Development". International Journal of Literature Studies 1, n.º 1 (4 de novembro de 2021): 62–69. http://dx.doi.org/10.32996/ijts.2021.1.1.8.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The Norwegian novelist Kunut Hamsun published his novel Hunger in 1921. The novel was translated into English by George Egerton. In this novel, Hamsun introduces the character of Andereas Tangen, a journalist who has a good life but starts to lose his living, and his essays begin to be refused. He becomes unemployed and suffers poverty, hunger, and homelessness for some time. By the end of the novel, he finds a job on a ship that is sailing from his town Christiania to fetch coal. During the 1930s the Egyptian novelist and short story writer Nageeb Mahfouz wrote his collection of short stories (Hams Eel- Gnoon) The Whisper of Madness. Among this collection, he published his short story (Al- Goo) The Hunger. In this short story, the main character, Ibrahim Hanafy has been working in a factory until he cuts his arm in an accident and loses his job. He becomes unemployed and he, with his family, suffers hunger and many social and psychological difficulties. He hates his life, tries to commit suicide but is saved coincidently by the son of the factory's owner. The man promises Ibrahim to find him a job. This paper aims to show that the unemployed main character in Hamsun's and Mahfouz's works is unable either to love a partner or to have a friend and if he is married, he is unable to keep his marriage relation. Another aim of the paper is to shed light on the negative relations of the unemployed character on one side with his god and with the government of his country on the other side. The third aim of the paper is to emphasize that unemployment, in Hamsun's and Mahfouz's works, leads the once good character to try to commit suicide. Thus the paper comes into three parts: the first part deals with Tangen’s failure to have a love relation or enjoy a friendship. This part also tackles Hanafy’s disability to protect his love for his wife. The second part introduces Tangen’s criticism of his god and of the government in his country. In the third part, the paper discusses the once good characters, becoming unemployed, thinking of death as a solution, and may try to commit suicide. The paper depends on the theory of needs' priority and the method of social and psychological analysis in tackling its topic.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
One of the objectives of feminism in the academia is to expose, in creative and critical resistance literature, various facets of men’s justification for the subordination of women. Resistance literature is growing as a massive body of work in the Arab region too, especially the creative and critical works by Arab women writers, and Maha Gargash’s contribution to it is commendable. The present paper examines the nature of struggle the protagonist, Noora, in Gargash’s novel The Sand Fish launches against patriarchal forces to combat her oppression. An analysis of the fictional character Noora reveals a clear-cut demarcation in the development of her philosophy of life before and after her marriage. She strongly resists patriarchal domination before her marriage, but becomes complicit in her subjugation after marriage. The issue of her complicity has been investigated with insights from Simone de Beauvoir’s analysis of the subject in The Second Sex (1949). Noora’s complicity primarily owes to her material and social situation, but existential angst is also found to be at play influencing her decisions.

“‘The Omnipresent,’ said a Rabbi, ‘is occupied in making marriages.’ The levity of the saying lies in the ear of him who hears it, for by making marriages the speaker meant all the wondrous combinations of the universe whose issue makes our good and evil.” 1— George Eliot, Daniel Deronda“Sir, your god, your great Bel, your fish-tailed Dagon, rises before me as a demon . . . Behold how hideously he governs! See him busied at the work he likes best — making marriages. He binds the young to the old, the strong to the imbecile. He stretches out the arm of Mezentius, and fetters the dead to the living. . . . All that surrounds him hastens to decay. . . . Your god is a masked Death.”2— Charlotte Brontë, ShirleyCHARLOTTE BRONTË’S FIRST NOVEL found no publisher: her second one brought her editors and readers, money and success, society and scrutiny. With this muchness the subtlest theologian of Haworth Parsonage turned, all shy and fierce and willing, to grapple. Not for nothing is her third novel set in “the Hollows”: not for nothing are the avatars and objects of its quests named “Mo(o)re.” The Work Question, the Woman Question, the Church Question, the Fiction Question — all of these go to the making of Shirley in its plenitude, but at its heart is a metaphysical question, the fusion, the confusion, of “hollow” with “more.”3

Grosvenor, Rachel. "The Second Space ; and, A contribution to the narrative of women's literature : themes from the second space : the assumption of autobiographical writing and the label of women's fiction". Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2017. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/7216/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The Second Space is a novel that presents the place of women in a patriarchal society, exploring themes such as sexuality, reclamation of space, and the power of physical objects. It follows the story of a woman who escapes from the prospect of marriage and works to discover her self-identity, forging meaningful relationships with other women. The accompanying critical study contributes to the knowledge of women’s writing and the creative process by acknowledging the existence of a distinct space for women in a patriarchal society. This concept is called ‘The Second Space’. This study refutes the assumption that women’s fiction is autobiographical due to the use of themes such as domesticity and motherhood, demonstrating the value of building a narrative for women. The sources that support this research include creative, critical and feminist texts, as follows: Elena Ferrante’s The Days of Abandonment, Margaret Atwood’s Lady Oracle, and Miranda July’s The First Bad Man, Carla Kaplan’s The Erotic’s of Talk: Women’s Writing and Feminist Paradigms, Sean Burke’s Authorship: From Plato to the Postmodern, Micaela Maftei’s The Fiction of Autobiography, Margaret Atwood’s On Writers and Writing, Shulamith Firestone’s The Dialectic of Sex, and Germaine Greer’s The Female Eunuch.

In Narratives of Motherhood and Mothering in Fiction and Life Writing, 33–54. Cham: Springer International Publishing, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-17211-3_3.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
AbstractIn their respective memoirs Stuck in the Middle with You: A Memoir of Parenting in Three Genders (2013) and How We Do Family: From Adoption to Trans Pregnancy, What We Learned About Love and LGBTQ Parenthood (2021), Jennifer Finney Boylan and Trystan Reese illuminate how mother and father are concepts that are varied, mutable, and fluid. Boylan, a university professor at Colby College in Maine and best-selling author, reveals that she is a transgender woman, formerly a husband in a long-term marriage, and father of two. Boylan writes from her position as a second mother to her children, and as the still-married partner of Deirdre Boylan. Reese, a social justice advocate, is a transgender man who not only adopted two children with his husband, Biff Chaplow, but who also gave birth to their biological baby. In my analysis herein, I argue that through narratives that conflate the conventional and the radical, Boylan and Reese normalize trans parenthood while queering normativity. Drawing on scholarship from queer, maternal, and life writing studies, and foregrounding the themes of transitioning, reproduction, and childrearing, I showcase how Boylan and Reese use their memoirs to open up vital spaces for new and inclusive notions of family.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
When Leonard returned from Ceylon after seven years on home leave, his growing doubts about a career in the civil service, and his falling in love with Virginia Stephen, led him to resign. For the rest of his life he would be a central member of the Bloomsbury Group and deeply involved in its cultural and literary activities. On his marriage in 1912, he devoted himself to enabling his wife to become an extremely important writer and to being the custodian of her work after her suicide in 1941. Together they founded the small but highly successful publishing house, the Hogarth Press. Through his innumerable reviews he was a major literary figure, but he abandoned fiction after his second novel, The Wise Virgins. After Virginia’s death, his life was enriched through the companionship of Trekkie Parsons. Also in his last decade he wrote five superb short volumes of autobiography.

In Transgender and The Literary Imagination, 37–63. Edinburgh University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.3366/edinburgh/9781474414661.003.0002.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This chapter examines a critically overlooked literary fiction by an Irish writer whose legacy has tended to be overshadowed by the modernist generation which succeeded him. George Moore’s Albert Nobbs depicts the lives of not one but two female-bodied men working in a Dublin hotel in the 1860s. It provides an alternative origin for a literary history of transgender representation, with an emphasis on lived experience and social reality rather than the historical fantasy of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, published ten years later. This chapter aims to articulate the ‘transgender capacity’ (David Getsy, 2014) of Moore’s novella, exploring the insights it offers into the social and economic functions of gender. Simone Benmussa’s 1977 stage adaptation, The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs, has been canonised as a classic of feminist theatre; reflection on its critical reception reveals the ways in which transgender motifs have been interpreted in Second Wave feminist contexts.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The second chapter explores how nineteenth-century parenting publications shaped popular narratives of babyhood and baby care. A critical analysis of the power of the print media in producing as well as spreading rapidly commodified advice material allows us to reconsider the still persistent phenomenon of competing books on babies in its historical context. The expanding market of expert instructions reconfigured images of babyhood, codifying the baby as a source of anxiety that required clinical knowledge and intervention. Women writers of popular childrearing manuals such as Eliza Warren, the main rival of the bestselling Isabella Beeton, packaged infant care advice in narratives, at once trading on and endeavouring to reshape this market. A crucial link between putatively professional, systematically presented, parenting instructions and the interpolation of infant care advice in popular fiction, Warren’s full-scale childrearing manual in narrative form, How I Managed My Children from Infancy to Marriage (1865), provides a test case of the shifting focus on personal experience and new expert knowledge in the selling of parenting publications. Since the nineteenth-century market for these publications was informed by a general move to hands-on, practical advice, Warren’s strategies in creating her authorial persona to market a mother’s experience formed a symptomatic and influential component in the impact of advice literature both on perceptions of baby care and on the literary baby.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This chapter addresses how Chinese male writers internalized and popularized the new discourse of love and love marriage. Toggling between the social and the fictional, the chapter traces the formation of a desiring Chinese moral subject to three moments in the late colonial period. First, in a “racializing” moment of birth (1903–17), writers experimented with the Western binary approach to sexual love in a series of lust caution stories. Safely pursued outside the context of Confucian marriage, the stories centered on Chinese men's attraction to native women, at the same time as they turned native concubinage into a moral problem. Second, in a “spiritual” turn, authors appropriated the Christian concept of redemptive love in the 1910s by secularizing their translations and adaptations of Alexandre Dumas fils's Camille with a modern Confucian spiritual twist. Third, in a “bourgeois cultural” moment of closure, “love” and love marriages became the ideal not only for the super-wealthy Chinese but also for the rising middle classes between the 1910s and 1930s. This closure normalized for the male bourgeois imagination Western romantic practices while retaining women's “purity” at the core of what defined Chineseness.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Chapter 3 turns to the records of parliament, examining measures that crossed the thin line between litigation and legislation. Parliament passed acts both private and public that honed its ability to end failed marriages through death, either civil and fictive or all too real. The chapter focuses on the developments that followed the Foljambe decision of 1602 in trying to resolve the disagreements and differences that had arisen around divorce. It addresses the so-called Bigamy Act of 1604 that criminalized marriage of a second spouse in the lifetime of the first, putting it in the context of other, failed measures to make adultery a capital offence. Turning to look more directly at adultery and bigamy as discussed in parliament—the body claiming to be the highest court of the land—lets us see from another angle the ramifying effects of coverture and of jurisdictional pluralism on marital separations in post-Reformation England.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This chapter discusses the gender aspects of virtues in Much Ado About Nothing, in which the perfection of the Italianate concept of virtù through Claudio, a man of strength and action, and the feminine virtues of chastity, modesty, and obedience via Hero are not enough to guarantee happiness. These qualities become weapons when Don John presents his fictional tableau of an unfaithful Hero, pushing Claudio to save his reputation by sacrificing his bride. To correct this patriarchal imbalance, Shakespeare presents a companionate marriage as he draws together Beatrice and Benedick. A relationship founded on mutual admiration and equality in wit, the play’s second match creates a virtue virtuosa, a new standard of conduct that valorises feminine virtues and excises the violence caused by masculine aggression and male privilege.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The phenomenon of the Brontës writings is a unique one in the history of British literature of XIX century which allows them to remain still relevant to literary studies of nowadays. The purpose of the paper consists in a poetological perusal of the iconic novels of women’s writers, mainly "Jane Eyre" by Charlotte Brontë, "Wuthering Heightes" by Emily Brontë (both 1847) and "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" by Anna Brontë (1848). The solution of the research issue determines the logic of its presentation: literary analysis of the Brontës texts relies on the key tracks of Victorian poetics: a) the emblematic image of an orphan girl; b) the marriage formulation of the "father-daughter" principle; c) the personage paradigm "Angel in the House" // "The Fallen Angel". Methodology of the present paper is based on a combination of structuralistic, comparative methods of analysis, literary practice of "close reading" and feminist criticism. Results of the survey showed that the subject of the Victorian novels written by Brontës sisters as well as any other women writers of that period is a story of happiness of female protagonists who are according to the stereotyped belief of the Victorian society on theirs way to get married. The emblem of orphan girl as a main character of the fiction reveals new moves of the plot thread. In respect of the marriage relation formed as "father/daugher" relation one may conclude that: firstly, it has double meanings: both a failure and a triumph form; secondly, one of the spouse suffers on horrible illness, the other one rescues herself by escape; thirdly, exchange between lovers takes place with the preferences of female characters over male. While paradigm of Victorian femininity known as "Angel in the House" / "The Fallen Angel" is endowed with ambiguity characteristics: on the one side female protagonists of the Brontës express their similarity to image of "Angel in the House", and on the other side they implement a strong, independent, rebellious, and self-sufficient feminine individuality which will arrive in a century. Value/originality.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Marriage of Martu refers to the mythological text originating from early second millennia BC from the ancient Middle East. The work is closely related to the so called Amorite migration from the west into the collapsing Sumerian civilisation. This phenomena was long considered to be the leading cause of the fall of Ur III dynasty and various other city states of the time. More recent studies point to economic exhaustion caused by protracted warfare and famine brought about by climate change and earth salinization as being greater contributing factors. The title refers to the titular deity, who was a fictional anthropomorphic personification of the recently arrived Amorite tribal people. This is proven by the fact that Amorites themselves never worshipped such an entity and Martu himself was integrated into the established pantheon as a legitimate deity only after the Amorite people were already integrated into Mesopotamian society. The text itself sees Martu competing in various fighting games organized in Inab in order to win the hand of Adjar-kidug, the daughter of the city’s patron deity. He is ultimately successful and wins over the trust of the people and his bride to be, despite presented accusations that reflected the then stereotypical view the older native people likely had of the recently arrived tribal population. The aim of this paper is to introduce the myth and then provide contextual analysis within the social and political context of its time. It also briefly introduces a new interpretation of it. Said interpretation posits that the aim of the text was to legitimise a new Amorite ruling dynasty, or at least make their rule seem more acceptable to the indigenous population by granting it divine blessing. This would have precedent in religious ceremonies and texts from the same time period, which saw various Amorite rulers trying to establish continuity with the previous dynasties. Such practices also included marriage with daughters of the defeated lineages. Further evidence of likely Amorite authorship of the text is its optimistic wording when contrasted to other texts from its era, such as Lamentation over the city of Ur.
