Dilks, Kathy. "Permission to speak? : the postmodernist voice of Carol Shields." Thesis, University of Chichester, 2008. http://eprints.chi.ac.uk/824/.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis posits that the radical transformation in Carol Shields's writing during the 1980s, moving from rather conservative realist fiction to postmodernist metafiction, was influenced by practices and theories which reject 'totalising' concepts of the self, of language and of empirical reality, instead favouring models of thought that point up the cultural constructedness of all three.

Abstract:
The creative segment of this thesis is a translation of ten short stories taken from the Canadian author Carol Shields' collection: Various Miracles. Using translation principles prescribed by Berman, Riffaterre, Lefevere and Meschonnic, and taking into account Bakhtin's principle of polyphony in the novel as described in "Discourse in the Novel", we have tried to produce a faithful translation, respectful of the profoundly alien nature of this work written in a foreign language (a characteristic that is not to be erased), and true to its polyphonic nature.<br>In the theoretical section of thi

Le premier volet, créatif, est une traduction intégrale vers le français d’un recueil de nouvelles de Carol Shields, intitulé Dressing Up for the Carnival (2000). Le deuxième volet, celui-ci théorique, est une analyse de cette traduction – de quatre nouvelles en particulier – portant sur l’aspect métafictionnel et autoréférentiel de l’écriture de Shields. Cette analyse s’intéresse particulièrement aux manières dont la figure de l’auteur est présentée et déconstruite. Elle montre en quoi cet aspect important de l’

Abstract:
This thesis offers a comprehensive reassessment of the fiction and criticism of Carol Shields. It aims to present her work as less "domestic" and "celebratory" and more expansive and equivocal than has sometimes been recognised, and to re-address elements which have been under-explored in previous scholarship. Close attention is paid to formal and thematic liminality, stylistic experimentation, intertextuality, subversions of historiography, and Canadian contexts, as well as to texts which have previously received very little analysis, such as Shields's poetry collections. The study is also th

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores the concepts of “voice” and “influence” through the case studies of two famous English-speaking Canadian women writers, Margaret Atwood and Carol Shields. The “voice” is multiple, ambiguous and influenced, but it is also apparently unique. How, therefore, is it constructed and where does it come from? I examine, work with and adapt Harold Bloom’s paradigmatic study of influence to a feminist context, exploring the idea that a literary voice can be developed and influenced by Atwood and Shields. I discuss how these writers searched for an appropriate literary role model, ex

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to improve spacecraft shielding from radiation in space. It focuses on the evaluation of shielding efficiency of different materials. The efficiency of a shield is evaluated by the dose profile within the shield and the amount of dose absorbed by a target using the Monte Carlo transport code called FLUKA. The output of this code is validated by recreating the experiments from published papers and comparing the results. Once the FLUKA’s output is validated, the efficiency of sixteen materials, subject to SPE and GCR sources, are evaluated. The efficiency comparison

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the portrayal of men and masculinities in Carol Shields’s novels. There is a conspicuous gap in the scholarly research on Shields's oeuvre which significantly sidelines her male characters. The focus of academic interest often falls on the author's engagement with feminism, almost solely concentrating on her female protagonists. Along with new developments in masculinity studies I give prominent attention to men in Shields's novels to illustrate how the feminist standpoint is filtered through masculine perspectives. The aim of this thesis is to show how the presentation

Abstract:
Life writing is always constituted of alternate versions of the self and the lived life of the self. The duplicities inherent in life writing are central to this study. These duplicities refer not only to the doubleness, but also to the constructedness, of life writing. My enabling assumption is that a life lived is never the same as the life written. Some of the questions at stake in the discourse of life writing include: How may the self be represented in literary form? How is biography a necessary ground of autobiography? What is the borderline between history and life story? Why and how is

Le présent mémoire propose une analyse de l'ironie dans deux oeuvres d'auteures canadiennes-anglaises contemporaines, soit The Penelopiad de Margaret Atwood et Unless de Carol Shields. Envisagée dans son rapport au « gender », l'ironie y apparaît comme une stratégie féministe qui, par l'intermédiaire de la parodie et la métafiction, interroge et subvertit les discours qui légitiment un ordre social et symbolique fondé sur le sacrifice de la femme. S'appuyant avant tout sur les théories féministes, notre analyse fait converger les théories de l'ironie et de l'ironie au féminin, de l'« agency »,

The thickness of shield is 1 to 10 mean free path, and the calculated results are compared with those in ANSI/ANS-6.4.3-1991 reports and reference literature. It can be seen that the results of MCNP are consistent with those of the studies which adopt Monte Carlo and similar calculation

Abstract:
This thesis describes a tool called TXSAMC (Transport Cross Sections from Applied Monte Carlo) that produces shielded and homogenized multigroup cross sections for small fast reactor systems. The motivation for this tool comes from a desire to investigate reactor systems that are not characterized well by existing tools. Proper investigation usually requires the use of deterministic codes to characterize the timedependent reactor behavior and to link reactor neutronics codes with thermal-hydraulics and/or other physics codes. Deterministic codes require an accurate set of multigroup cross sect
