This study examines dance and dance-like sacred performance in four texts by or about the thirteenth-century beguines Elisabeth of Spalbeek, Hadewijch, Mechthild of Magdeburg, and Agnes Blannbekin. These women wrote about dance as a visionary experience of the joys of heaven or the relationship between God and the soul, and they also created physical performances of faith that, while not called dance by medieval authors, seem remarkably dance-like to a modern eye. The existence of these dance-like sacred performances calls into question the commonly-held belief that most medieval Christians denied their bodies in favor of their souls and considered dancing sinful. In contrast to official church prohibitions of dance I present an alternative viewpoint, that of religious Christian women who physically performed their faith. The research questions this study addresses include the following: what meanings did the concept of dance have for medieval Christians; how did both actual physical dances and the concept of dance relate to sacred performance; and which aspects of certain medieval dances and performances made them sacred to those who performed and those who observed? In a historical interplay of text and context, I thematically analyze four beguine texts and situate them within the larger tapestry of medieval dance and sacred performance. This study suggests that medieval Christian concepts of dance, sacred performance, the soul, and the body were complex and fluid; that medieval sacred performance was as much a matter of a correct inner, emotional and spiritual state as it was of appropriate outward, physical actions; and that sacred performance was a powerful, important force in medieval Europe that various Christians used to support their own beliefs or to contest the beliefs and practices of others.

Full textAn exploration of sex and marriage and its role in the writings of three medieval women writers (or groups of writers), from the twelfth, thirteenth, and fifteenth centuries, namely, Heloïse, the Beguines Mechthild of Magdeburg, Hadewijch of Brabant, and Marguerite Porete, and Christine de Pisan. The object is to find the links between sexuality and intellectuality, if any, the role marriage plays in the expression of sexuality, and how the influence of outside institutions such as the church affect the way these women choose to express themselves in writing. Also discussed is how access to a community of women, or lack thereof, influences the output of a single female writer

Full textThe studies we collect here introduce into the Aragon's poetics of reinvention. Aragon strives to dismantle the insularity of the literary text, in order to make the latter able again to act as a language which transforms the historical and social reality. So he makes his work in reply to the requirement of reinventing invention itself. The writer faces up to this requirement by regarding is at once as the problem of the work to make and as the principle operating the work he made. Reinventing becomes therefore the way of a new art of making work, the work being to be read as the means of keeping in action the reinvention from which it was born. We show in three parts this art of reinvention in progress, dealing with the traditional thought and practice of invention, and transforming them. We first show how the acknowledgement of the historicity of writing leads Aragon to define again the writer identity and to think in a new way the act of writing, then how the Aragon's text works on changing the reader's activity, and at last how the writer deconstructs the traditional status of collected works as determined by the "fonction-auteur". Our conclusion focuses on one of the main effects of the Aragon's poetics: by giving a new relevance to the traditional topic of the work, it calls into question our representations of the literary modernity

Despite the fact that women have gained more equality over the past few decades, the hegemony of patriarchy still exists in the modern society. The evil women won't be a good end in the end in past films. They were punished or destroyed herself. However, in recent films, it has been observed that "evil women" have gradually been promoted and even recognized. This research is based on feminism and post-feminism, supplemented by theory of woman’s cinema and narrative images. We analyze what kind of feminine consciousness that these women expressed in boldly pursuing love and erotic behavior. In the word “evil woman”, it reflects these women exist in what kind of frameworks in society, and then, how these women break the framework. By analyzing the four films through text analysis, we discover the findings:(1) Women show a strong self-consciousness in the pursuit of love and erotic behavior. They value self-subjectivity from the role of "altruism" to "egocentrism". (2) Vengeance women used their feminine features to successfully play a weak role and demonstrated the ability to manipulate gender image and performance. (3) There are many feminine gazes in these texts. The Camera to view male and female from female perspective. Women show their subjective position in camera control. (4) When women show self- consciousness, hold mastership, or even override men, they often causes male anxiety and challenges male dominance. (5) Women often need to be calm and alert to watch out for men’s attacks. If necessary, they also need to use masculine objects to grow themselves to counterbalance. (6) The word “evil woman” reflects the norm and oppression of women under the patriarchal system. Once beyond the established image and behavior, it may be classified as evil woman.
