Chained Thoughts Broken by Chains of Thought
An Analysis of the Narrative Style Used in Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own
The purpose of this essay is to analyse the narrative style used in Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own in order to show in which ways it supports and reinforces the author’s arguments in her quest for a more equal society. One of the most prominent stylistic means applied by Woolf is her ‘train of thought’, linking one reflection to another like wagons in a railway convoy or like loops in a chain (therefore also sometimes referred to as ‘chain of thought’ in dictionaries). By examining how different rhetorical devices are applied within this train or chain of thought and in which ways these strategies are linked to the main elements of persuasion (ethos, pathos and logos) in Aristotelian Rhetoric, I have found that one of Woolf’s central themes - the resentment against confinement and the advocacy of androgyny or mixed-gendered thinking - is mirrored in her style. It reflects the author’s call to resist society’s restrictions by its unrestricted combination of different rhetorical strategies; this mixture of stylistic, partly gender-neutral devices helps her to create a common ground where she can reach and appeal to both genders in a very effective and innovative way, thus enabling her chain of thoughts to break some of our chained thoughts.

Full textThis study presents an existential-hermeneutic analysis of nine women's first-person accounts of extended periods of solitude. The accounts were analyzed along the five existential dimensions of spatiality, temporality, embodiment, language, and co-existentiality, producing a rich portrait of the women's lived experience of solitude. One of the first-person accounts was provided by the author of the study, who underwent three solitary retreats in the interest of this project, adding an autoethnographic component to the work. Theory from the existential-phenomenological, monastic, ecopsychological, and feminist literatures was applied to the data, enabling us to interpret the significance of the shifts the women experienced through an interdisciplinary set of lenses. The women experienced both subtle and profound shifts in their senses of self and modes of being in the world over the course of their retreats. In the absence of direct human relations, the women developed greater intimacy with things, non-human beings, and the Divine. Through the practice of simplicity, the women cultivated humility and more contemplative modes of seeing, revealing previously hidden contours of the material world and fostering a child-like sense of wonder. By leaving clock time and slowing down, the women became increasingly oriented toward the present moment, entrained to the rhythms of the natural world, and attuned to their desire. By retreating from the gaze of the (human) other, the women worked to heal a sense of alienation from their own bodies, experienced a respite from feminine performativity, and came to move through the world more seamlessly and comfortably. And by observing silence, the women cultivated the ability to listen beyond the human conversation and the chattering of their own minds, developed a more sacred relationship to language, confronted their emotional "demons," and found themselves increasingly drawn toward the poetic. Overall, through their solitudes, the women developed a greater stance of receptivity toward the more-than-human world, deconstructed elements of identity and modes of being aligned with the "false self," and recovered aspects of their lived experience which had been neglected or suppressed over the course of becoming an adult, and especially a woman, in the context of contemporary American culture.

Full textDetta examensarbete i arkitektur är en bok som fått sin form från en kombination av antropologisk dokumentation och fiktion, skriven med hjälp från Virginia Woolf och Marcel Proust. Historien byggs upp fragmentariskt och beskriver regelbundna besök på Tjejforum på en ungdomsgård i Fittja, Norra Botkyrka, Stockholm, där författaren mötte och spenderade tid med en grupp tjejer på torsdagskvällar under våren 2015. Ungdomens Hus är en ungdomsgård i Fittja för ungdomar (15-22 år) i området Norra Botkyrka. Många killar går dit. De spelar biljard, pingis, tevespel, okey, boxas, tittar på teve och umgås rent allmänt. Möjligheten för tjejer att ta plats i detta rum, å andra sidan, tenderar att reduceras till tre timmar per vecka då Ungdomens Hus förvandlas till ett rum för bara tjejer: deras eget rum. På torsdagskvällar anordnar Rädda Barnen tillsammans med Botkyrka kommun Tjejforum på Ungdomens Hus i Fittja. Verksamheten är öppen för alla tjejer (15-20 år) i Norra Botkyrka. Tjejforum finns för att unga kvinnor i Norra Botkyrka ska få synas och ta plats på Ungdomens Hus, i andra offentliga rum och i hela vårt samhälle.

The gendering of spaces stands as a crucial factor in constructing an intelligible body in contemporary society. The spatial dichotomy of public and private, workplace and domestic, has its gendered reference to how masculinity and femininity should perform in their lived space. In order to understand how a woman’s sense of dis/location in public and private spaces reflects her self-perception, this thesis, drawing on the approach of feminist geography, takes Margaret Atwood’s first novel, The Edible Woman (1969), as the text to discuss the gendering of spaces in post-war North American society. The first chapter offers an introduction of feminist geographers’ studies on body and space in contemporary western context, followed by a glance of women’s situation in post-war Canada, and a reading of Margaret Atwood’s literary work as social criticism. The second chapter explores the material construction of Marian, the heroine in The Edible Woman, her lived surroundings including her home, workplace, and the public streets. As a 24-year-old single office lady, Marian is uncertain about her female identity, and this confusion reflects on her sense of being entrapped in both private and public spaces. The third chapter focuses on how Marian confronts the patriarchal spatial appropriation through her bodily performance, and finally reclaims a female identity as well as personal space of her own. By rereading Margaret Atwood’s The Edible Woman into a feminist geographical interpretation, this thesis suggests that this “pro-feminist novel”, as in Atwood’s own words, not only a piece of literary work but also a social text worthy of the study of feminist geography.

Virginia Woolf was born into what she once described as a very communicative, literary, letter writing, visiting, articulate, late nineteenth century world. Her talent in literature, art and criticism is intellectually acknowledged. Hence in this thesis, we would see how she constructs a feminist discourse and fulfill her gender politics. My thesis aims to demonstrate that Woolf, as a feminist writer, with her discourse of poetic politics, tries to raise people’s attention to feminist literature. Furthermore , Woolf thinks that the binary restriction on sex serves the reproductive aim of a system of compulsory heterosexuality. I also take Cixous’s argument of life writing to show that the artists’creation is also a process of self- fulfilling . The ontology of patriarchy gets control over the sexuality. Woolf writes to refuse the phallus.The subjects work by themselves, a woman becomes a woman; and gender is socially construction. On the other hand, Woolf manipulates the retrospective and poetic politics to touch the harrowing part of life and raise the self-awareness of feminism.
