Lee, Yeseung. "The ambiguity of seamlessness : the poetic function of making." Thesis, Royal College of Art, 2012. http://researchonline.rca.ac.uk/1366/.

Abstract:

This practice-led research examines the paradox of seamlessness in fashion, drawing on the similarities found between the process of making garments, the process of their embodiment and process of research. Integrating practical and theoretical methods, it suggests that the process of making and using garments can be a transitional experience, as well as a device that creates ambiguity of subjectivity, which in turn promotes the subject’s reflexive re-adjustment. This analysis informed and was informed by making a series of seamless woven garments which reveal their own construction, showing t

White, Michael James. "The theme and poetic function of space in Theodor Fontane's works." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/969.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis proposes a new view of space in Theodor Fontane’s writing as both a mode of literary expression and an object of literary inquiry: space serves a poetic function and is a thematic concern. The research draws on theories of literary space which focus on spatial structures and topographies, as well as those which provide critical tools for analysing individual passages of description, especially focalisation, which elucidates the influence of the viewing figure in the text. Significantly, the subjective experience of a perceptive observer is central to Fontane’s conception of aesthet

Full text

Abstract:

The topic of this doctoral thesis is the nature essay: a literary form that became widely used in European literature around 1800 and continues to flourish in times of ecological crisis. Blending natural history discourse, essayistic thought patterns, personal anecdotes, and lyrical descriptions, nature essays are hybrid literary texts. Their authors have often been writers with a background in science. As interdis-cursive agents they move swiftly between different knowledge formations. This equips them with a unique potential in the context of ecology. Essayistic narrators can grasp the inter

Abstract:

This thesis re-examines Jakobson's theory of poetic function and develops the axial model of his metaphoric and metonymic poles in order to construct a suggested iconic and poetic space, with special reference to a city poetic. The suggested model is used to develop a possible genre of a city poetic. The role of the narrator in poetry is explored with specific reference to shifters and deictics, with a view to a gendered analysis of self and place within a city poetic. The construction of space within the Jakobsonian axial model is developed with the assistance of iconicity, parallels, and mov

Ayars, Matthew Ian. "The structure of the poetic text : structural cohesion and foregrounding as the dual rhetorical discourse function of linguistic parallelism in Biblical Hebrew poetry." Thesis, University of Chester, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10034/620335.

Full text

Abstract:

The present project, by employing Roman Jakobson's conceptualisation of parallelism and literary linguistic analysis, argues that linguistic parallelism occurring at all levels of language (from phoneme to syntagmeme) in biblical Hebrew poetry has a dual rhetorical discourse function of foregrounding and structural cohesion. It is proposed that patterned grammatical-syntactic continuity and deviation at a colometric level creates poetic unity that harmonises the poem’s internal diversity and poetic variation across macrostructural levels that fosters foreground semantic components of the text.

Esta pesquisa consiste na tradução do Canto VI do poema didático-filosófico De rerum natura, do poeta latino Lucrécio (séc. I a.C.) e na análise de três fragmentos do canto, segundo o conceito de função poética de Roman Jakobson, o mais importante linguista do Formalismo Russo. Esta epopeia romana trata da natureza, composta toda de átomos e de vazio, segundo a doutrina do filósofo grego Epicuro (séc. III a. C.). A filosofia epicurista da natureza, sua física, tinha uma particularidade especial, o atomismo, conceito materialista que tem no De rerum natura a sua maior e melhor fonte. Assim, foi

À travers l’expérience de Verlaine, cette thèse s’interroge sur la critique littéraire d’un écrivain. Les raisons d’être et les particularités formelles d’une production quotidienne d’un poète accédant graduellement à la notoriété sont étudiées en partant d’un panorama des définitions du phénomène (introduction). La triple analyse biographique, esthétique et discursive expose le lien étroit entre le contexte de production de la critique, les constructions théoriques qu’elle véhicule et les formes discursives qu’elle prend.

Abstract:

Seamus Heaney's prose poetics return repeatedly to the adequacy of poetry, its ameliorative, restorative response to the inimical reality of life in the public domain. Drawing on manuscript as well as print sources, this thesis charts the development of this central theme, demonstrating the extent to which it threads throughout the whole of Heaney's thought, from his earliest conceptual formation to his late cultural poetics. Heaney's preoccupation with this idea largely originates in his undergraduate studies where he encounters Leavis and Arnold's accounts of poetry's adequacy: its ameliorat

Abstract:

In Biblical Hebrew poetry the common bipartite line-form is sometimes varied to become tripartite, producing lines commonly designated ‘tricola’. Studies of the form or function of tricola have been limited in their value by inconsistent or ambiguous approaches to the colometry of the text. A review of theories of colometry finds the accentual rhythmical approach of Sievers to provide the most consistent and reliable analysis. This approach can be nuanced by the adoption of numerical limits on words and syllables that are commensurate with several other approaches, in order to provide an expli

The particular techniques Xhosa comedians and comic writers use in order to elicit humour are explored with specific reference to the way in which the pho

Abstract:

This thesis examines evidence of the earliest viols in Italy. In light of recent changes in perspective on the origins of the Italian viola da gamba, a new approach to building historical models of the instrument is necessary. By using Castiglione's description of violas as a significant signpost, I have developed a clearer picture of the early viola da gamba's socio-musical context. Using this context, along with my experience as a luthier, I redefine the parameters by which we may interpret the corresponding iconography of the instrument.

Abstract:

Borges saw narrative as the bearer of universally re-combinable elements. Although these elements seem sequential, their essential formal integrity guarantees their rearrangement to generate new narratives. The ficción lives beyond its author. However, Borges ontological anxieties also have a life of their own that undermines the ficcións assimilative potential. By developing poetic and linguistic insights Borges creates immortal text through the construction of a symbolic repertoire. Each element of the repertoire has its genesis in the authors personal development. This history is archae

A wide variety of aspects of Machaka's poetry was treated. His poetry which is meaningful when viewed against his traditional culture brings inspiration and a formal mode of literary expression. Death was never accepted by the Tlokwa as an end to life. Machaka has succeeded in blending the ancestral worship with Christian faith. He has used euphemism to modify pain. He makes use of imagery to execute cruelty and bluntness of death. Machaka's protest poetry echoes the same protest of those of other protesters. These refer to the injustice the Blacks experienced from the white regime prio
