Abstract:

Recent interest in environmental crises has inspired literary critics to consider how the history of ideas shapes our current ecological debates. Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream sets the stage for assessing how Renaissance attitudes towards nature have influenced current ideologies. While the play appears to be a fantasy, it reveals a relationship with nature, both physically and figuratively. The play's excursion into the woods shows an attempt to heal human relationships. Shakespeare's use of the imagery of nature argues in favor of the green world, for it is a world inhabited by shadows and shamen -- or, as Shakespeare calls them, fairies. A key element for ecocritics concerns the apparent silence of nature in literature and other cultural forms. Christopher Manes' article, "Nature and Silence," alerts readers to nature's lack of voice as a symptom of humanism, especially of theories such as the Great Chain of Being, which place nature in a subordinate role to humans, giving homo sapiens the dubious power to speak for nature. I wish to present Shakespeare's fairies as the speakers of the forest and of nature's values, according to the Early Modern period. By liberating fairies from demonic associations, Shakespeare's forest appears to us as inviting and healing. Furthermore, I argue that the pastoral tradition, which informs the Early Modern attitude towards nature, is superceded by picaresque and shamanic figures within the text. These elements allow for a subversive understanding of nature and our relationship to it. If humans adapted to their environment by developing consciousness, what has been the effect of that consciousness on their environment? Shakespeare's forest and fairies help to confront this issue because they restore human awareness to a healthy state of consciousness. By showing fairies in this light, Shakespeare provocatively proposes that humans "mend" their relationship to their surroundings as well as their own human relationships.

Abstract:

Making use of knowledge from a wide range of disciplines, this thesis analyses the interactions of culture and economy, particularly regarding the influence of nineteenthcentury historiography, on Shetland’s present-day economic development. Shetland’s local identity concept is strongly influenced by this North Sea archipelago’s Norse history. This is in part the result of the islands’ late nineteenth- and early twentiethcentury national romantic literature, which was inspired by Continental and mainland British trends in anthropology and philology. The theories of fairy origins proposed in the 1890s by the Edinburgh anthropologist David MacRitchie exerted a great influence on Shetland writers. His theories – since shown to be incorrect – led to the historiographic dehumanisation of the islands’ pre-Norse population and permitted the complete valorisation of the Vikings, most notably in the work of the Shetland author Jessie Saxby. Since the 1930s, a variation of MacRitchie’s theory has been repeated in nearly every local book concerning Shetland folk belief. These conceptions of history continue to inform the sense of local identity felt by many Shetlanders. This has come into conflict with the local government’s efforts at place brand, tourism, heritage, and economic development, all of which tie into a broader struggle between fostering Shetland’s national awareness and expanding Shetland’s jurisdictional capacity. Particular attention is paid to how history is used variously by the community to express exclusivity and by the local government to promote inclusivity.

Abstract:

In his groundbreaking work of postcolonial theory, Orientalism, Edward Said puts forth the idea that imperial Europe asserted an identity by constructing the character of its colonized subjects. Said writes that his book tries to “show that European culture gained in strength and identity by setting itself off against the Orient as a sort of surrogate and even underground self” (3). The object of this thesis is a related project, for it too is a search for imperial Britain’s surrogate or underground self. Yet rather than positioning this search within the British colonies, this thesis takes as its context a land and people that were at once more intimate and more alien: the races and landscapes of Fairyland. This Thesis attempts to situate the fairy folklore and literature from the Victorian era within the context of greater social and political ideologies of the age, specifically those pertaining to national identity, imperial power and race. In doing so it will analyze Charles Kingsley’s Water-Babies, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Kenneth Grahame’s The Golden Age, George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin, Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre and Frances Hodgson Burnett’s The Secret Garden concluding that the British self proposed by these works was an uncomfortable manifestation, and haunted by the anxieties and discontinuities that arose as imperial Britain attempted to navigate an identity within Victorian conceptions of race and power.

Abstract:

This project aims at analysing the reuses of the motif of fairy abduction and of the changeling in contemporary literature, either Irish or from the Irish diaspora. Studying these tale types as they appear in the folk accounts allows a better understanding of their traditional characteristics, to then be able to compare them with the way the contemporary writers reinterpret them. It seems that the changeling motif has been taken up as an Irish metaphor for emigration and exile, whether it be geographical, psychological or linguistic. This thesis thus explores issues of identity and memory through the theme of the changeling which, although it is not of Irish origin since it is absent from the early mythological sources, has paradoxically become an Irish literary symbol.

Abstract:

This thesis, ‘Fairy in Middle English romance', aims to contribute to the recent resurgence of interest in the literary medieval supernatural by studying the concept of ‘fairy' as it is presented in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Middle English romances. This thesis is particularly interested in how the use of ‘fairy' in Middle English romances serves as an arena in which to play out ‘thought-experiments' that test anxieties about faith, gender, power, and death. The first chapter considers the concept of fairy in its medieval Christian context by using the romance Melusine as a case study to examine fairies alongside medieval theological explorations of the nature of demons. The thesis then examines the power dynamic of fairy/human relationships and the extent to which having one partner be a fairy affects these explorations of medieval attitudes toward gender relations and hierarchy. The third chapter investigates ‘fairy-like' women enchantresses in romance and the extent to which fairy is ‘performed' in romance. The fourth chapter explores the location of Faerie and how it relates as an alternative ‘Otherworld' to the Christian Otherworlds of Paradise, Purgatory, Heaven, and Hell. The final chapter continues to examine geography by considering the application of Avalon and whether Avalon can be read as a ‘land of fairies'. By considering the etymological, spiritual, and gendered definitions of ‘fairy', my research reveals medieval attitudes toward not only the Otherworld, but also the contemporary medieval world. In doing so, this thesis provides new readings of little-studied medieval texts, such as the Middle English Melusine and Eger and Grime, as well as reconsider the presence of religious material and gender dynamics in medieval romance. This thesis demonstrates that by examining how fairy was used in Middle English romance, we can see how medieval authors were describing their present reality.

Abstract:

Ce projet s'attache à analyser les réutilisations du motif de l'enlèvement par les fées et du changelin dans la littérature contemporaine, qu'elle soit irlandaise ou de la diaspora irlandaise. Étudier ces motifs tels qu'ils apparaissent dans les sources folkloriques irlandaises permet d'en dégager les caractéristiques traditionnelles pour ensuite les comparer avec l'usage qu'il en est fait par les auteurs contemporains. Il semble que le motif du changelin soit utilisé comme une métaphore toute irlandaise de l'émigration et de l'exil, soit-il géographique, psychologique ou linguistique. Cette thèse explore donc des problématiques d'identité et de mémoire à travers ce thème du changelin, qui, bien qu'il ne soit pas d'origine irlandaise puisque absent des sources mythologiques, est paradoxalement devenu un véritable symbole littéraire irlandais

O número crescente de separações vem aumentando consideravelmente, mas as pesquisas mostram que ao contrário do que se pensa, que o casamento é uma instituição falida, o que as pessoas buscam é fazer sua história de amor ser bem sucedida, mesmo que seja um recasamento, o que prova que esta é a área de maior significado na realização pessoal. Porém, o casal está constantemente sendo confrontado por duas forças: o amor idealizado, fantasiado, desejado, influenciado pelo peso que o amor romântico tem sobre as relações contemporâneas, assim como a influência dos Contos de Fadas e o amor real, que se revela ao deparar-se com a intimidade que a convivência traz, as falhas de cada um, a rotina e os conflitos que a vida a dois pode provocar. A proposta deste trabalho é investigar o ideal e o real presente no pensamento das mulheres sobre o casamento, verificando as fantasias e expectativas femininas, bem como perceber se a idealização do casamento pode conviver com o casamento real. A pesquisa foi fundamentada no referencial psicanalítico, compreendendo os caminhos para a escolha do companheiro, perpassando pela influência da transmissão psíquica e da história de vida. As participantes da pesquisa são cinco mulheres de uma mesma família, de três gerações, no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. A coleta de dados foi feita através de entrevistas gravadas, transcritas na íntegra e orientadas por um roteiro semi-estruturado. Os resultados se apresentam construídos sobre categorias pré-estabelecidas, como a história de vida e a história do casamento de cada entrevistada, como vêem o casamento dos pais e dos avós, suas opiniões sobre o casamento, as alegrias e tristezas que...
The crescent number of separations has been increasing considerably, but research shows that contrary to what you think, that marriage is an institution bankrupt, what people seek is to love its history of success, even a remarriage, which proves that this is the area of greatest significance in personal achievement. But the couple is constantly being confronted by two forces: the idealized love, fanciful, desired, influenced by the weight that romantic love is on relations contemporary as well as the influence of Tale of fairies of love real, which is to encounter with the intimacy that brings together, the flaws of each of the routine and conflicts that life can lead to two. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ideal and the real thinking in this women about marriage, noting the women's fantasies and expectations, and realize that the idealization of marriage can live with real marriage. The research was based on psychoanalytic reference, including the paths to the choice of companion, passing through transmission by the influence of psychological and history of life. The participants of the research are five women from the same family, it’s three generations in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Date collection was record through interviews, transcribed in full and guided by a semi-structured guide. The results have been built on pre-established categories such as the history of life and history of the marriage of each interviewer, like you see the marriage of parents and grandparents, their views on marriage, the joys and sorrows that the marriage has brought it, identification women, the influence of Tales of fairies and future prospects and after analysis of each topic, presents itself considerations that answer to the questions raised is proposing to search the object of study.

Yoshino, Yuki. "Desire for perpetuation : fairy writing and re-creation of national identity in the narratives of Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/9493.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis argues that ‘fairy writing’ in the nineteenth-century Scottish literature serves as a peculiar site which accommodates various, often ambiguous and subversive, responses to the processes of constructing new national identities occurring in, and outwith, post-union Scotland. It contends that a pathetic sense of loss, emptiness and absence, together with strong preoccupations with the land, and a desire to perpetuate the nation which has become state-less, commonly underpin the wide variety of fairy writings by Walter Scott, John Black, James Hogg and Andrew Lang. The disappearing fairies and elusive fairy queens who haunt subterranean realms, together with the immaterialised and etherealised homeland, are frequently depicted in the works of fairy writing explored in this study. While they metaphorise the loss of the state, the rightful monarch and the old national identity, they also serve to symbolically, and strategically, immortalise the Scottish nation through mythification and romanticisation within the subliminal textual layers of fairy writing. Choosing four authors in Scottish literature, this thesis explores the spectrum of the wide range of fairy writing created during the long nineteenth century, shedding new light on the contrast, as well as the echoes, between Romantic and Victorian writing. It specifically suggests that fairy narratives by Black and Hogg display ironic self-consciousness of those who were involved in the processes of cultural nation-building in the post-union Britain. This thesis also contends that Scottish fairy writing serves as a problematic site of experimentation where different genres, values and ideas clash and conflict, generating intensified tension, and rarely bringing negotiation without haunting aftertaste. It is contended that genre-mixing is a common methodological feature employed by the four authors, and moreover, that the act of genre-mixing itself is metaphorical of the creation of new and hybrid national identity, which also foregrounds its artificiality, inventedness and internal cracks. This study reassesses a long-forgotten material: The Falls of Clyde (1806) by John Black. It also draws attention to the relatively ‘marginal’ texts by Scott and Hogg, and attempts a radical interpretation of Langian works, arguing that Lang played a significant role in the processes of the diasporic re-imagining of Scottishness which were arguably undertaken outside Scotland by Briticised elites, and are a neglected yet important part of post-Union Scottish nation writing. Drawing on a wide range of texts and paratexts, this study foregrounds a profound complicity in the conceptions of Scotland and national identity inscribed in fairy narratives, perceiving the sub-genre as a site of realism rather than fantasy.

Abstract:

The use of supernatural beings in four of Shakespeare’s plays – A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and The Tempest – is examined in order to show the change in Shakespeare’s thinking about magic, and how the mortal and supernatural can co-exist. The shift from properly controlled benevolent female power, to out-of-control malevolent female power, to the eradication of female power and triumph of the male magus is examined; the ideal co-existence of the human and supernatural worlds is assessed.

Abstract:

This Humanistic Social Science Dissertation is an exploration of the continuing belief in fairies as real in spite of over a millennium of sociopolitical and religious pressures aimed at the extinguishment of fairies. In this qualitative, phenomenological study, the belief narratives of eight subjects' encounters with fairy beings are examined.

For the purpose of this dissertation, the word fairy is based on but not limited to fairy scholar Katherine Briggs' definition and classification, which includes all spirits of the supernatural realms, except for angels, devils, or ghosts (i). Thus, "fairy" includes sylphs, subtle or intermediate beings, light fairies, nature elementals, pixies, leprechauns, elves, changelings, and brownies to name but a few. The fairy beings encountered by the interviewees are reflected against Celtic folklore established in classic works like Reverend Robert Kirk's 1691 manuscript (47) and Walter Yeeling Evans-Wentz 1911 thesis.

Depth Psychology and science provide two additional lenses to explore fairy phenomena and belief since this dissertation seeks to investigate the relationship between reality and imagination, and between tradition, experiential knowing, and belief. Moreover, counterevidence and arguments to the prevailing cultural wisdom and beliefs that fairies and imaginal beings are impossible are examined. This study approaches the interviews from a perspective of cultural mythology and phenomenology with both emic and etic interests. The subjects experienced a moment of gnosis with fairy encounters and subsequently believed with unshaking resolve that fairies are real and true. In this context, C.G. Jung's concepts of the archetype and Henri Corbin's theories regarding the psychoid realm are helpful in understanding the Celtic Otherworld and Land of Fairy.

A constituent invariant model was developed to organize the data, and facilitated the emergence of key themes, including corroborated sightings, surprising shadows, and messages from nature beings. The belief in fairies continues and is part of an evolving, contemporary, and nature-based mythology that is very much alive.

Full text

Abstract:

The Victorians obsessed over the supernatural and this fascination with the otherworldly emerges in the literature of the day. With this thesis, I look at two nineteenth century novels that exhibit supernatural phenomena: Charlotte Brontë's Villette (1853) and Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights (1847). Both novels, I propose, utilize this aspect of the gothic tradition to enhance their characters' psychological realism. With Villette, I examine the supernatural as a fabricated experience. First, I study the protagonist's psyche and show how her emotional state directly contributes to the appearance of fantastic material. Specifically, I examine Lucy Snowe's childhood experiences in Bretton and then look at her continuing emotional isolation at the boarding school in Villette. I then illustrate how Lucy compensates for this loneliness by transforming the identities of her acquaintances and by often embellishing her own experiences. Following this, I examine her response to an external phenomenon, the ghostly nun. I argue that as Lucy discovers emotional fulfillment via her relationship with Paul Emanuel, she grows increasingly skeptical of the nun. This skepticism climaxes in a scene of violence, after which Lucy successfully denies the existence of the otherworldly. With Wuthering Heights, I examine the supernatural as a genuine phenomenon. To begin, I analyze two significant scenes which frame the main narrative: Lockwood's dream and Heathcliff's death. Both events, I subsequently demonstrate, are instances of supernatural interaction with the real world. Finally, I examine the spiritual and occult beliefs of the lovers, Catherine and Heathcliff. I then show how their ideology influences their decisions and, ultimately, brings about their reunion in the afterlife.

Abstract:

[Material:] Uppsatsen analyserar och jämför hur övernaturliga väsen gestaltas i Yamazaki Kores mangaserie The Ancient Magus' Bride och i några av de vanligast förekommande folksagorna. [Syfte:] Syftet med analysen är att undersöka vilka sammanhang dessa övernaturliga väsen ursprungligen ingått i, hur de beskrivs i sitt gamla sammanhang och sin nya kontext, samt vilken funktion de har i sin gamla respektive nya kontext. Fokus är att ställa Yamazakis' serie mot folksagorna i det här avseendet. Dessutom undersöks på vilket sätt Yamazaki använder sig av motiv från välkända folksagor för att skapa en populärkulturell produkt som kan anspela på folklore, och således diskuteras vad som skiljer mellan en sådan populärkulturell produkt och folklore. Vidare har uppsatsen även ett didaktiskt syfte där mangans legitimitet och användningsområde i skolan diskuteras. [Teori/metod:] Komparativ litterär analysmetod. Med fokus på beskrivning, sammanhang och funktion jämförs motiv kring ett antal övernaturliga väsen i Yamazakis serie, samt i olika folksagor. Med hjälp av analysens resultat, och Michael Dylan Fosters begrepp "the folkloresque" diskuteras sedan på vilket sätt Yamazaki anspelar på folklore med sina motiv, samt vad som slutligen skiljer hennes serie från folklore. [Resultat:] Yamazaki integrerar motiv från flera olika folksagor för att gestalta sina övernaturliga väsen i beskrivningar och sammanhang. I sammanhanget tillskriver hon sina väsen en ny funktion för att de ska kunna bära hennes berättelse framåt. Sammanhang och funktion förändras och väsendet blir inte det samma som i folksagorna, utan något som "verkar" vara det. De motiv Yamazaki använder är förnyade men trots allt anspelar de på folklore. Motiven representerar, eller gör en avbild av hennes egna idéer, föreställningar och värderingar kring folklore. Serien ger uttryck för författarens tankar kring folklore, och inte "riktig" folklore. Serien är således en representation eller avbild, som befinner sig nära folklore utan att vara det.Manga kan utveckla både läs- och skrivförmåga och kan användas likt skönlitteratur i en skolsituation. Manga öppnar upp för genrediskussioner, och diskussioner kring andra kulturers erfarenheter, tankar, föreställningsvärldar och livsvillkor.

Kramer, William. "FILID, FAIRIES AND FAITH: The Effects of Gaelic Culture, Religious Conflict and the Dynamics of Dual Confessionalisation on the Suppression of Witchcraft Accusations and Witch-Hunts in Early Modern Ireland, 1533 - 1670." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2010. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/327.

Full text

Abstract:

The European Witch-Hunts reached their peak in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Betweeen 1590 and 1661, approximately 1500 women and men were accused of, and executed for, the crime of witchcraft in Scotland. England suffered the largest witch-hunt in its history during the Civil Wars of the 1640s, which produced the majority of the 500 women and men executed in England for witchcraft. Evidence indicates, however, that only three women were executed in Ireland between 1533 and 1670. Given the presence of both English and Scottish settlers in Ireland during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the dramatic discrepancy of these statistics indicate that conditions existed in early modern Ireland that tended to suppress the mechanisms that produced witchcraft accusations and larger scale witch-hunts. In broad terms those conditions in Ireland were the persistence of Gaelic culture and the ongoing conditions of open, inter-religious conflict. In particular, two artifacts of Gaelic Irish culture had distinct impact upon Irish witchcraft beliefs. The office of the Poet, or fili (singular for filid), seems to have had a similar impact upon Gaelic culture and society as the shaman has on Siberian witchcraft beliefs. The Gaelic/Celtic Poet was believed to have magical powers, which were actually regulated by the Brehon Law codes of Ireland. The codification of the Poet’s harmful magic seems to have eliminated some of the mystique and menace of magic within Gaelic culture. Additionally, the persistent belief in fairies as the source of harmful magic remained untainted by Christianity throughout most of Ireland. Faeries were never successfully demonized in Ireland as they were in Scotland. The Gaelic Irish attributed to fairies most of the misfortunes that were otherwise blamed on witchcraft, including the sudden wasting away and death of children. Faerie faith in Ireland has, in fact, endured into the twentieth century. The ongoing ethno-religious conflict between the Gaelic, Catholic Irish and the Protestant “New English” settlers also undermined the need for witches in Ireland. The enemy, or “other” was always readily identifiable as a member of the opposing religious or ethnic group. The process of dual confessionalisation, as described by Ute Lotz-Huemann, facilitated the entrenchment of Catholic resistence to encroaching Protestantism that both perpetuated the ethno-religious conflict and prevented the penetration of Protestant ideology into Gaelic culture. This second effect is one of the reasons why fairies were never successfully associated with demons in Ireland. Witch-hunts were complex events that were produced and influenced by multiple causative factors. The same is true of those factors that suppressed witchcraft accusations. Enduring Gaelic cultural artifacts and open ethno-religious conflict were not the only factors that suppressed witchcraft accusations and witch-hunts in Ireland; they were, however, the primary factors.

Resumo: O número crescente de separações vem aumentando consideravelmente, mas as pesquisas mostram que ao contrário do que se pensa, que o casamento é uma instituição falida, o que as pessoas buscam é fazer sua história de amor ser bem sucedida, mesmo que seja um recasamento, o que prova que esta é a área de maior significado na realização pessoal. Porém, o casal está constantemente sendo confrontado por duas forças: o amor idealizado, fantasiado, desejado, influenciado pelo peso que o amor romântico tem sobre as relações contemporâneas, assim como a influência dos Contos de Fadas e o amor real, que se revela ao deparar-se com a intimidade que a convivência traz, as falhas de cada um, a rotina e os conflitos que a vida a dois pode provocar. A proposta deste trabalho é investigar o ideal e o real presente no pensamento das mulheres sobre o casamento, verificando as fantasias e expectativas femininas, bem como perceber se a idealização do casamento pode conviver com o casamento real. A pesquisa foi fundamentada no referencial psicanalítico, compreendendo os caminhos para a escolha do companheiro, perpassando pela influência da transmissão psíquica e da história de vida. As participantes da pesquisa são cinco mulheres de uma mesma família, de três gerações, no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. A coleta de dados foi feita através de entrevistas gravadas, transcritas na íntegra e orientadas por um roteiro semi-estruturado. Os resultados se apresentam construídos sobre categorias pré-estabelecidas, como a história de vida e a história do casamento de cada entrevistada, como vêem o casamento dos pais e dos avós, suas opiniões sobre o casamento, as alegrias e tristezas que...

Abstract: The crescent number of separations has been increasing considerably, but research shows that contrary to what you think, that marriage is an institution bankrupt, what people seek is to love its history of success, even a remarriage, which proves that this is the area of greatest significance in personal achievement. But the couple is constantly being confronted by two forces: the idealized love, fanciful, desired, influenced by the weight that romantic love is on relations contemporary as well as the influence of Tale of fairies of love real, which is to encounter with the intimacy that brings together, the flaws of each of the routine and conflicts that life can lead to two. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ideal and the real thinking in this women about marriage, noting the women's fantasies and expectations, and realize that the idealization of marriage can live with real marriage. The research was based on psychoanalytic reference, including the paths to the choice of companion, passing through transmission by the influence of psychological and history of life. The participants of the research are five women from the same family, it's three generations in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. Date collection was record through interviews, transcribed in full and guided by a semi-structured guide. The results have been built on pre-established categories such as the history of life and history of the marriage of each interviewer, like you see the marriage of parents and grandparents, their views on marriage, the joys and sorrows that the marriage has brought it, identification women, the influence of Tales of fairies and future prospects and after analysis of each topic, presents itself considerations that answer to the questions raised is proposing to search the object of study.

Holland, Nicholas David. "Comedy and the supernatural on the English stage between 1589 and 1621 : a study of the relevance for early modern audiences of comic representations of magic, fairies and witchcraft." Thesis, University of Hull, 2002. http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/resources/hull:5537.

Full text

Abstract:

What kinds of relevance to wider beliefs and practices did the comic representation of magic, fairies and witchcraft have for an early modem audience? This study will approach this main question through the consideration of two subsidiary questions. What is the cultural context for a series of comic, or partly comic, representations of the supernatural first performed between circa 1588 and 1621? What theatrical (and broader) strategies of performance informed the staging of the texts considered and what bearing would those strategies have had on the relevance of the subjectmatter for their original audience? The premise that form and context are interconnected and historically specific will be central to the approach taken in this study. As one influential modern account of the early modem English stage has proposed: ‘history cannot simply be set against literary texts as either stable antithesis or stable background, and the protective isolation of those texts gives way to a sense of their interaction with other texts and hence of the permeability of their boundaries.’ (Stephen Greenblatt, ‘Shakespeare and the Exorcists’, 1988) An appreciation of the `permeability' of the boundaries between early modern texts informs this study. This principle is particularly important in the study of comic representation, where a modem reader faces particular challenges when interpreting the function of comedy for early modem audiences. An improved understanding of comic representation is gained through a close consideration of the relationship between form and context in a range of texts concerned with the supernatural, followed by a consideration of the ways in which those texts might be related. For example, the function of the supernatural as a vehicle for the expression of hidden desires in a wide range of early modern texts provides a significant context for the understanding of the comic representation of the supernatural on the early modern stage. Moreover, recognition of the `permeability' of the boundaries between texts necessitates the reassessment of a simple notion of fictional and non-fictional texts about the supernatural in this period. Through the consideration of such issues, particular kinds of insight will be provided into the wider relevance that comic representation of the supernatural on the early modem stage might have held for its audience. In embracing this approach, this study must avoid a narrow understanding of the `text'. The primary status of theatre as a medium for representation through performance needs to be appreciated. Although this study is specifically concerned with comic representation, the comic must be understood in the context of early modem theatre, more generally, as a performance medium. Chapter One will survey a series of approaches before arriving at a working model for the English theatre of the period which will be broad in its consideration of the functions of the comic and sympathetic regarding its status as performance. This study will also be inclusive throughout in its choice of texts. Comic material in plays generically signified as tragedy or tragicomedy will be considered where it helps to elucidate the argument of the thesis. The intention is to pursue relevant connections wherever possible, and to shadow the flexible, organic approach to genre demonstrated by much English drama of the period. Through such an approach, the meaning for audiences of comic representations will be shown to be ultimately underpinned by early modem notions regarding the nature of theatricality itself. The diversity and stratification of views regarding the supernatural in early modem England, alongside the theatre the other significant cultural context for this study, will be considered in Chapter Two. The earliest impetus for this study came, in part, from a recognition that the particular historical interests of an older school of historians, in particular Frances Yates, continued to exercise a significant influence over published literary criticism of plays concerned with magic into the 1980s. This study aims in part to further the work of those who have sought to relate the drama to a range of more recent modem studies of early modem thought regarding the supernatural. The organisation of the remainder of the study will be thematic. A detailed study in Chapter Three of two influential works from early in the period of study, Doctor Faustus and Friar Bacon, will be followed in Chapter Four by a study of patterns of representation in a series of plays concerned with magic that span the period of this study. Chapter Five will offer a reading of The Tempest in the context of the emerging themes of this study. Chapters Six and Seven will expand further the scope of the study by developing the provisional conclusions of the early chapters in a consideration of the comic representation of fairies and tragicomic representation of witchcraft on the early modern English stage. Chapter Eight will explore the relationship between Ben Jonson's comic portrayal of the supernatural and other texts considered by this study. Some questions related to the subject of this study cannot be fully developed within a work of this length. These include the relationship between comic stage representation and the representation of the supernatural in other genres in the theatre and literature of period, the comic representation of devils beyond their stage association with magicians and witchcraft, and the comic stage representation of magic and witchcraft after 1621. Where possible, attention is given to these issues, in particular where it helps to elucidate the central concerns of the study.

Full text

Abstract:

A close reading of a series of books by Eoin Colfer that enjoyed universal success showed a change in the language between the books especially with respect to minor linguistic features such as choice of location and abstract vs. concrete language. The books are about the boy Artemis Fowl, and were presumably conceived as children’s books.

My original thesis was that the writer could not be sure of the success of the first book, but would definitely be aware of a worldwide audience for at least his third book, due to, for example, questions raised by the translators. If the original audience was expected to be Irish, or British, with very much the same cultural background as the author’s, the imagined subsequent audiences would change with success. My hope was to be able to show this by comparing linguistic features. And indeed, even though some changes could be due to coincidence there was a specific pattern evolving in the series, in that the originally Irish cultural background became less exclusive and more universal. The writer also used more details concerning locations, with added words to specify a place. What could thus be expected in the translated versions would be omissions and additions in especially the first book, but less need for that in later books. This, however, could not be proven in the Swedish translations. I thus conclude that the books became easier to follow for a wider, in this case Swedish, audience mostly because of efforts by the author and less because of the translator.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines issues of cultural identity and modernity, and the anthropology of spirituality and sacred sites by conducting ethnographic research on fairy beliefs in contemporary Ireland. Irish folk belief has traditionally identified a spirit world intertwined with our own which is inhabited by spirits, often collectively referred to as fairies. Belief in these spirits was once widespread. My research sought to determine the prevalence of these traditional beliefs among modern Irish people within my research area, as well as differences in belief across variables including age, gender, and religious preference. I conducted eight weeks of ethnographic fieldwork during June-August 2008 in and around Sligo Town in County Sligo, Ireland. I selected County Sligo as a research site because it is a sparsely populated, largely rural area, identified in an earlier major study of Irish folklore as a region where belief in the Irish spirit world persisted more strongly than in other parts of the country. My primary research methodology was to conduct structured and unstructured interviews, complemented by visual site surveys. In the preparation of this thesis I utilized data from 52 Sligo residents plus ten other visitors to the area from surrounding Irish counties. While my research suggests that few Sligo residents from the project area continue to believe in the literal existence of fairies, it also shows a much more common belief in a "power" associated with sites identified as "fairy forts," which are natural features of the landscape or the remains of ancient burials or dwellings apocryphally endowed by folk tradition with supernatural or mysterious energies. These beliefs led to a taboo against intruding on, altering, or destroying these "forts" that is still very much alive today. Additionally I was able to discuss at length the subject of the Irish death-herald spirit called the banshee (bean sidhe) with several study participants. Although it can be classified under the umbrella label of "fairy", my research indicates that the banshee is seen as a stand-apart element of Irish tradition by research area residents, and is believed in by those who do not otherwise profess a belief in "fairies" in general.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines the Lady of the Lake as an active chivalric player in the thirteenth century Lancelot-Grail Cycle (also known as the Prose Lancelot) and in Thomas Malory's fifteenth-century Le Morte Darthur. To study the many codes of chivalry, particularly in regard to women, I use two popular chivalric handbooks from the Middle Ages: Ramon Lull's Book of Knighthood and Chivalry, Geoffroi de Charny'sKnight's Own Book of Chivalry.Traditionally, the roles of women in medieval chivalry are passive, and female characters are depicted as objects to win or to inspire knights to greatness. The Lady of the Lake, I argue, uses her supernatural origins and nature to break with female chivalric conventions and become an instructress of chivalry to King Arthur's knights. As a purely human character, her power would be limited. As a guardian fairy and/or enchantress, the Lady is allowed to exercise more autonomy.

Objetivou-se analisar, em geral, os determinantes do acesso a medicamentos prescritos no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde- SUS nas regiões brasileiras, que tiveram prescrição no próprio sistema público e identificar possíveis determinantes das disparidades regionais deste acesso. Analisaram-se dados da Pesquisa Nacional de saúde – PNS em 2013. Através de métodos econométricos multivariados. A amostra foi composta por indivíduos que tiveram medicamentos receitados no SUS nas duas semanas anteriores à entrevista (n=11.910). A variável dependente foi o acesso à totalidade dos remédios receitados no sistema. Pouco menos da metade da população que teve medicamentos prescritos os obteve no próprio sistema público, número mais elevado entre os habitantes das regiões sul e sudeste, os de raça não branca, com menor escolaridade e entre aqueles que residem em domicílios cadastrados na Estratégia de Saúde da Família (ESF). As diferenças do acesso foram bem expressivas quando comparadas entre as regiões do Brasil. Os resultados reforçam a necessidade de políticas que diminuam as desigualdades no acesso a medicamentos no país.
This study aimed to describe the prevalence of access to medicines in the Brazilian Unified National Health System and associated factors among patients that received prescriptions in the public system. The study analyzed data from the National Health Research (2013). Through the micro processing data in STATA 12 program, using the logistic regression method. The sample consisted of individuals with prescription written in the National Health System in the two weeks prior to the interview (n = 11.910). The dependent variable was the access to all the prescribed medicines inside the system itself. Slightly fewer half of the sample with prescriptions received the medicines in public health system; the proportions were higher in the South of Brazil, among black patients, those with less schooling and lower income and those registered in the Family Health Strategy. Differences access was very expressive when compared in the regions of Brazil. As evidenced by the Fairlie technique. The results emphasize the need for public policies to decrease inequalities in access to medicines and strengthen the actions of pharmaceutical care in Brazil.

Finally, I argue that the principle of fair play grounds the legitimacy of existing reasonably just states.

Abstract:

L'etude des obligations du commissionnaire de transport, de l'agent de voyages, du promoteur immobilier, de l'entrepreneur de travail temporaire et de l'entreprise d'assistance aux personnes en difficulte revele l'existence d'une obligation originale, distincte de l'obligation de faire : l'obligation de faire faire. Le debiteur d'une obligation de faire faire est un intermediaire. Il associe un tiers a la satisfaction du creancier. A defaut d'engagement initial du debiteur de realiser la prestation finale procuree par le tiers, l'obligation de faire faire ne realise ni une substitution de personne ni un souscontrat. L'obligation de faire faire imprime au contrat qui en est l'objet sa nature originale. Le debiteur est lie au creancier de la prestation finale par un <>. Ce nouveau contrat parmi les contrats speciaux a pour objet une obligation caracteristique hybride, empreinte des contrats de mandat et d'entreprise. L'organisateur conclut avec le tiers prestataire un << contrat de realisation >> dont les effets seront apprehendes par le creancier, etranger a sa formation. L'obligation de faire faire est une contribution a l'analyse des notions de representationimparfaite et de stipulation pour autrui. La these souligne l'heterogeneite des regimes de responsabilite pesant sur le debiteur d'une obligation de faire faire et propose un modele de responsabilite applicable a tout organisateur. L'examen du droit positif conduit a retenir deux fondements a la reparation du dommage subi par le creancier. Soit l'organisateur est responsable a titre personnel. Soit il est garant du fait des prestataires qu'il a choisis pour executer la prestation finale. Cette obligation de garantie contribue au renouveau de la notion de praestare du droit romain. Ayant une fonction d'indemnisation, la garantie implique que l'on reconnaisse la possibilite pour l'organisateur de former un recours contre le prestataire, auteur de la defaillance.

Abstract:

In the computer aided engineering environment, exceptionally smooth but irregular surfaces are often required, such as car bonnets. It is often a lengthy process to design these surfaces to the degree of smoothness and aesthetic beauty that is required by the designer. Smoothing these surfaces is known as fairing and a variety of techniques exist to tackle the problem in different ways. A new method of surface fairing is proposed and demonstrated in this thesis. Many conventional fairing methods use an agreeable curvature plot across the surface as proof of fairness, the method documented here takes the more holistic approach of constructing the improved surface from an agreeable curvature plot.

Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 104-107).
This dissertation is about fairness and the role it plays in political and personal morality. Specifically, I investigate when it is appropriate to rely on considerations of fairness to draw substantive conclusions about what we should do. In Chapter 1 ("Numbers, Fairness and Beneficence") I discuss the "numbers problem," the problem of explaining why you should save more people rather than fewer when forced to choose. Existing non-consequentialist approaches to the problem appeal to fairness to explain why. I argue that this is a mistake and that we can give a more satisfying answer by appealing to requirements of beneficence or generosity. In Chapter 2 ("Fairness, Distributive Justice and Global Justice") I discuss justice in the distribution of resources, both within states and across different states. On one influential view, it is always unjust for one person to have less than another through no fault of her own. State borders, on this account, have no importance in determining which distributions are just. I show that an alternative approach is needed. I argue that distributions of wealth are only unjust in so far as they issue from unfair treatment. It follows that not all inequalities in the distribution of goods are unjust. I use these results to explain how state borders do play a role in determining which inequalities are unjust, since some of these inequalities issue from unfair treatment of citizens by the state. In Chapter 3 ("Contractualism, Politics and Morality") I discuss Rawls' contractualist theory of social justice and Scanlon's extension of it to provide a theory of "rightness", or morality more generally.
(cont.) I argue that while there is some justification for adopting a contractualist theory of social justice, this justification does not support a contractualist theory of rightness. This is because social justice is centrally a matter of cooperative fairness whereas rightness is not.

Abstract:

The objective of the study was to examine the relationships between the concepts of personal fairness and social fairness and hotel cancellation policies. These relationships will be explored using the framework of Prospect Theory in terms of consumer patronage (willingness-to-purchase and word-of-mouth). This study includes a brief history of the development of the lodging industry in the United States from inns and taverns to the modern hotel industry that is a critical sector of the hospitality and tourism economy. Current statistics are provided regarding the U.S. and Central Florida hotel industry in order to provide both a national and local economic perspective. The study also provides relevant statistics regarding U.S. domestic traveller information. The included literature review consists of concepts of mental accounting theory, economic utility theory, prospect theory, personal fairness, social fairness, and consumer patronage. The study also discusses how the lodging industry is unique in its implementation of reservation cancellation policies when compared against other industries. Research regarding merchandise return policies is also discussed here. The study was designed to investigate three separate components of both personal and social fairness. The first component investigated the effects of hotel rate price increases and discounts on personal fairness when compared against an existing reference price. The second component studied the perceptions of social fairness on three established hotel cancellation policies. The third component introduces a treatment of distributive and procedural fairness violations as a moderator to observe the effects on consumer patronage for the same three hotel cancellation policies. The data were collected from 415 hotel guests staying in Central Florida hotels near the Orlando international airport using an experimental method which provided different written scenarios regarding hotel pricing and three different hotel cancellation policies. The data was then analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Tukey's Post Hoc test to provide results that allowed the comparison of effects on each in terms of consumer patronage. The study results indicated that that price increases against established reference prices had a significant negative effect on consumer patronage whereas discounts of the same magnitude had a significant effect only in the middle range. Included smaller and large discounts did not have a significant effect on consumer patronage outside of the middle range. The study results also indicated that there was significant difference in consumer patronage between an Open cancellation policy and a 48 Hour Cancellation Policy. There is a significant difference in consumer patronage when a No Refund policy is compared against both the Open Cancellation Policy and the 48 Hour Cancellation Policy. The study results also show that a violation of either Distributive Fairness or Procedural Fairness has a significant negative effect on consumer patronage for both an Open Cancellation policy and 48 Hour Cancellation Policy. However, when Distributive Fairness or Procedural Fairness violations are introduced as a moderator, there is no significant effect on a No Refund Cancellation Policy. The study and its ensuing results are of importance to the academic community in that it provides additional scholarly support to both Prospect Theory and the theory of mental accounting and the roles that each plays in consumer behavior. From an industry practitioner perspective, the current results provide insight into hotel consumer's attitudes regarding rate increases/ discounts and the implementation of the three different hotel cancelation policies. The results can be utilized to provide justification and guidance in altering or establishing hotel cancellation policies that hotel consumers consider to be fair.
