Full textAbstract:
Options and possibilities for lesbian parents have changed fundamentally since the turn of the millennium. A legal change in 2003 enabled a same-sex couple to share legal parenthood of the same child. An additional legal change, in 2005, gave lesbian couples access to fertility treatment within public healthcare in Sweden. The present thesis focuses on families where two women share legal parenthood of their children. It aims to provide knowledge about lesbian parenting couples and their children, and to focus on the interplay between family members within lesbian families, and between family members and their surroundings. Furthermore, the thesis aims to visualize and analyse notions of heteronormativity and homonormativity in contemporary Sweden. The thesis draws on interviews with 118 parents in 61 families, and 12 children in 11 families. The participants’ stories, descriptions, reflections and discourses have been analysed using discursive psychology and thematic analysis. The thesis includes five empirical papers. Paper I focuses on encounters with healthcare professionals prior to and during pregnancy, at childbirth and during the early stages of parenthood. Paper II deals with the participants’ experiences of second-parent adoption processes. Paper III focuses on equality in parenting relations. Paper IV focuses on encounters with fertility clinics within public healthcare. Paper V highlights the children’s reflections and shows how the children talk about fathers and donors.För lesbiska par har förutsättningarna för föräldraskap förändrats i grunden sedan millennieskiftet. År 2003 möjliggjorde en lagändring att ett barn kan ha två rättsliga föräldrar av samma kön. Ytterligare en lagändring öppnade år 2005 möjligheten för lesbiska par att få barn genom assisterad befruktning inom svensk sjukvård. I avhandlingen fokuseras familjer där två kvinnor delar det rättsliga föräldraskapet om sina gemensamma barn. Studien syftar till att bredda kunskaper om lesbiska familjeliv och fokuserar samspelet mellan familjemedlemmar såväl som samspelet mellan familjen och dess omgivning. Vidare syftar studien till att synliggöra och analysera uttryck för heteronormativitet och homonormativitet i dagens Sverige. Studien bygger på intervjuer med 118 föräldrar i 61 familjer och 12 barn i 11 familjer. Deltagarnas berättelser, beskrivningar, reflektioner och diskurser analyseras med diskursiv psykologi och tematisk analys. Avhandlingen består av fem empiriska artiklar och en kappa. I Artikel I analyseras föräldrarnas berättelser om att möta sjukvården i samband med graviditet och förlossning. Artikel II belyser deltagarnas berättelser om att genomgå en närståendeadoption. I Artikel III fokuseras hur föräldrarna pratar om jämställdhet i sina föräldraroller. Artikel IV analyserar intervjuer med föräldrar som vänt sig till svensk sjukvård för fertilitetsbehandling. I Artikel V, är det barnen som står i fokus. Studien bygger på intervjuer med tolv barn som var mellan 5 och 8 år gamla och växte upp i familjer med två mammor. I artikeln analyseras barnens beskrivningar av pappor och spermadonatorer.

Williams, Julie. "Pride and prejudice : the socialisation of nurse educators." Thesis, Lancaster University, 2010. http://eprints.lancs.ac.uk/54647/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the concept of socialisation through the experiences of nurse educators within a United Kingdom context in one higher education institution in the Northwest of England. Built upon the assumption that nurse educators‘ practices and dispositions are shaped and affected by the sociocultural field in which they occur, attention is paid to identifying these influences reflected through an understanding of their curriculum practices. A micro-ethnographic philosophy is adopted where semi-structured interviews are the key data source from a volunteer group of twenty nurse educators‘ informant accounts, inter-woven with observations and my reflections as a nurse educator, and therefore written in the first person. As I also claim a pertinent professional cultural heritage all data are collected and analysed from an insider-researcher position. Pierre Bourdieu‘s relational concepts of field, capital and habitus are applied as a template through which the accounts of nurse educators are filtered and interpreted. In this thesis I will argue that nurse educators experience difficult transitions in and between the fields in which they practise and that their dominant, but hidden, values contribute to their perceived marginalisation within the academic community and field of higher education. Nurse educators appear to adopt practices that reflect their practitioner habitus which contradicts the popular perspectives of academic roles and identity, referred to as an academic habitus. This negatively affects the development of academic identity and contributes to difficulties experienced in accruing academic capital. Specifically, curriculum practices are affected by the hegemonic values of nurse educators where practice-bred values conflict with academic world values.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 94-95).In this thesis, I have examined the novel, Pride and Prejudice in the twenty-first century. As a lecturer of English literature I have found that many students are reluctant to engage with this novel because of their pre-conceived idea s of the novel' s trivial storyline and their assumptions about the writer. In light of this reluctance this thesis explores many of the issues related to Pride and Prejudice which both correspond to and reject student's conceptions of the novel. My methodology was to use various sources in order to find perceptions of it throughout its nearly two hundred years of existence. For this I used sources such as Todd's, Jane Austen in Context, Copeland and McMaster's, The Cambridge Companion to Jane Austen also two volumes of Littlewood' s, Jane Austen Critical Assessments among others. In the process of this investigation I became aware that from historical responses to this novel we ca n see a parallel with many readers in the twenty-first century. In this regard, I consider certain literary theories to define the difference between the story and the plot of novels which also helps to identify the different types of readers . Following this I explore how Jane Austen uses both story and plot in the novel to entertain her readers while also fulfilling her own literary needs. I then explore many of the literary devices which form a large part of most lectures on this novel. Because there is a discrepancy between the different readers of Pride and Prejudice it becomes important for students to understand why this novel is included in their curriculum. This then falls to the literary devices which Austen uses to comment on her own social world. As an aid to this, I would suggest that one can use the films to highlight the literary devices . Lecturers and students can use visual media as an addition to their engagement with this novel. Viewing the films can reveal why they can never replace the reading of the novels and for this reason students are encouraged to evaluate the films in relation to their reactions to the novel and its felicitous storyline.

Sandy, Silav. "Thematic Oppositions in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice." Thesis, Karlstads universitet, Institutionen för språk, litteratur och interkultur, 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kau:diva-55341.
Full textAbstract:
This essay examines anticipation and real outcome structured as two oppositions in Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. These opposites will be analyzed through Austen’s use of literary devices such as “free indirect speech” and irony. Pride and Prejudice is written in third-person, but the focus is often limited to Elizabeth’s perspective, creating what is termed free indirect speech, a narrative technique that Austen is considered to be one of the first novelists to use. While the omniscient narrator seems all-knowing and gives the illusion of being objective, she is deliberately selective in her choice of what aspects of the story that she wants to emphasize, which makes her subjective. That the narrator is both objective/omniscient and subjective/limited brings out an opposition between the anticipated and real outcome. Austen also uses irony as a literary device, which too can be interpreted as a kind of opposition used to bring out anticipated and real outcome.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to present an empirical finding in the area of culture and entrepreneurial intention. The author developed an entrepreneurial culture measure regard to values of proudness and prejudice based on the data from the World Values Survey. Entrepreneurial intention as the dependent variable was draw from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Consortium (GEM) ’s 2006 dataset. The data sample contains 27 countries. The result shows the newly developed culture measure is negatively correlated with entrepreneurial intention, which means countries have high level of prejudice towards certain social groups such as women or immigrants could lead to lower level of entrepreneurial intention. A series of robustness tests were conducted to test the fitness of the model. In general these tests do support the robustness of the finding. However as for the shortage of the small sample size, future research is still needed to confirm this finding.

Full textAbstract:
In the late 18th century, it was not uncommon that a middle class woman had to choose if her marriage should be based on love or money. Since women often depended on either a husband or male relatives to support them, marriage was a way to avoid economic hardship. Pride and Prejudice gives many examples of women in this situation, and it is evident that both men and women are affected by economy and social class in their choice of a partner. The purpose of this essay is therefore to look closer on how the courtships in the novel are influenced by economy and class. Some characters are greedy and believe that wealth and an upper class life equals happiness. The wealthy man Mr. Darcy becomes suspicious of women and believes that they are only after his money. Women are also seen as commodities; wealthy men expect to be able to marry whomever they like regardless of the woman’s feelings. I will show that there are three main types of marriages in the novel: marriages based on financial considerations, marriages based on infatuation, and marriages combining love and money. Marriages based on financial considerations are not ideal since emotional needs are not often fulfilled. However, in some cases it might be a solution for women who do not have the time to wait for a romantically and economically fulfilling marriage. Marriages that include no financial considerations at all are not ideal since a stable economy is important to live happily. In the essay, I will show that the most ideal marriages are those who combine both love and money, as they ignore neither emotional needs nor economy.

Full textAbstract:
Adaptation from literature to film has always been a much criticized enterprise, with fidelity
criticism, or an attempt to discredit fidelity criticism, often driving the critical discussion.
However, this type of thinking is somewhat limited, becoming circular and going nowhere
productive. Instead, taking into account what has come before, this thesis attempts to settle
on a method of examination that moves away from fidelity criticism and towards an approach
that aligns itself with cultural studies. Adaptations, then, can be seen as products of the
historical, cultural, political and general socio-economic framework out of which they
emerge, owing perhaps more to their context of production than to their source material. In
order to provide a case study that reflects this idea, this paper looks to an author who has
been adapted on multiple occasions, Jane Austen, and examines her as a cultural construct.
Looking at Austen’s most popular novel, Pride and Prejudice, and using Robert Z. Leonard’s
Pride and Prejudice (1940), Cyril Coke’s Jane Austen ‘s Pride and Prejudice (1980), Simon
Langton’s Pride and Prejudice (1995), Andrew Black’s Pride and Prejudice: A Latter Day
Comedy (2003), Gurinder Chadha’s Bride and Prejudice (2004) and Joe Wright’s Pride &
Prejudice (2005), the thesis argues that the appeal of Austen is a result of her cult status and
economic viability, and also the malleability of her text, which allows filmmakers to use it in
a number of different contexts, while still embodying the source material.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is an account of the Theatre VCU mainstage production of Pride & Prejudice, in which I played the roles of Mrs. Bennet and of the vocal coach. In order to address the various skill levels of the cast, I planned to coach the production in a manner inspired by immersion language learning programs, with the cast speaking in dialect throughout the rehearsal process so as to learn the necessary vocal skills and to grow together as a theatrical ensemble. When the director of Pride & Prejudice was not receptive to this plan, I had to compromise and adapt while fulfilling my duties as actor and coach. The paper includes my initial ideas, a detailed account of pre-production, rehearsals, and performances, and an analysis of the many lessons I learned about artistic collaboration and the art of dialect coaching for the stage.

Full textAbstract:
This study compares how English and French Canadian intellectuals viewed American society from 1891 to 1945. During the period under study, the Dominion experienced accelerated industrialization and urbanization, massive immigration, technological change, and the rise of mass culture. To the nation's intellectuals, many of these changes found their source and their very embodiment in the United States. America, it was argued, was the quintessence of modernity, having embraced, among other things, secularism, democracy, mass culture, and industrial capitalism.In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Canadian hostility to the United States and continental integration was expressed in two conservative discourses: that of English Canadian imperialism and French Canadian nationalism. Despite their fundamental divergence on the national question; both imperialists and nationalistes shared an essentially antimodern outlook, and anti-Americanism was their logical point of convergence.
By contrast, the most passionate Canadian defenders of American society could be found among liberal and socialist intellectuals like F. R. Scott and Jean-Charles Harvey. They saw continental integration and Canadian-American convergence as both inevitable and desirable. Intellectual continentalism reached its summit of influence during the 1930s and 1940s.
The present study is based on the analysis of some 520 texts found essentially in the era's periodical literature. Each, at least in part, explores some aspect of American life or of the relationship between Canada and the United States. Unlike most previous scholarship, which has tended to view anti-American sentiment merely as an expression of Canadian nationalism, this study is more concerned with Canadian intellectuals as thinkers on the left, the right, and the centre.
The comparative, pan-Canadian nature of this study reveals that English and French Canadian intellectuals shared common preoccupations with respect to the United States. However, the tone and emphasis of their commentary often differed. In English Canada, where political institutions and the imperial bond were viewed as the mainstays of Canadian distinctiveness, writing on the United States tended to deal primarily with political and diplomatic issues, in Quebec, where political institutions were not generally viewed as vital elements of national distinctiveness, social and cultural affairs dominated writing on the United States.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract My research questions are: why are there differences in how the four characters (Mr Collins, Charlotte, Lady Catherine de Bourgh and Mary) react to and adapt themselves to the social definitions of male and female roles? What were the social ideas about gender roles in the 18th century and how are these connected to the expressions and actions of my characters? How are the differences significant to the plot and the story of the four characters mentioned above; in other words, what are the consequences of the differences in their social life? As method in writing this essay I have used the primary source Pride and Prejudice, Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity and secondary sources such as different kinds of books and articles. These sources helped me to understand what it was like to live in the 18th century. Writing this essay has provided me with the insight that the gender performances of the characters reveal a complexity which might not be expected.

Full textAbstract:
Magister Artium - MAIn this thesis I focus on the ways I believe Jane Austen re-imagines the idea of the hero. In popular fiction of her time, such as Samuel Richardson’s Sir Charles Grandison (1753), what we had as a hero figure served as a male monitor, to guide and instruct the female heroine. The hero begins the novel fully formed, and therefore does not go through significant development through the course of the novel. In addition to Sir Charles Grandison, I read two popular novels of Austen’s time, Fanny Burney’s Cecilia and Maria Edgeworth’s Belinda. An examination of Burney’s construction of Delvile and Edgeworth’s construction of Clarence Hervey allows me to engage with popular conceptions of the ideal hero of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Burney and Edgeworth deviate from these ideals in order to accommodate conventions of the new Realist novel. I argue that Austen reimagines her male protagonist so that hero and heroine are well-matched and discuss, similarly, how Burney and Edgeworth create heroes as a complement to their heroines. Austen’s re-imagining of her male protagonist forms part of her contribution to the genre of the Realist novel. Austen suggests the complexity of her hero through metaphors of setting. I discuss the ways in which the descriptions of Pemberley act as a metaphor for Darcy’s character, and explore Austen’s adaptations of the picturesque as metaphors to further plot and character development. I offer a comparative reading of Darcy and Pemberley with Mr Bennet and Longbourn as suggestive in understanding the significance of setting for the heroine’s changing perceptions of the character of the hero. I explore Austen’s use of free indirect discourse and the epistolary mode in conveying “psychological or moral conflict” in relation to Captain Wentworth in Persuasion and Mr Knightley in Emma, offering some comparison to Darcy. This lends itself to a discussion on the ways in which Austen’s heroes may be read as a critique of the teachings of Lord Chesterfield’s Letters to His Son (1774). I conclude the thesis with a discussion of the ways in which Darcy has influenced the stereotype of the modern romance hero. Using two South African romance novels I suggest the ways in which the writers adapt conventions of writing heroes to cater for the new black South African middle class at which the novels are aimed. My reading of Jane Austen’s novels will highlight the significance of Austen’s work in contemporary writing, and will question present-day views that the writing of the eighteenth- and nineteenth-centuries is not relevant to African literature.

Full textAbstract:
Using Mansfield Park and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, this essay will show how Sir Thomas and Mr Bennet fail in their role as fathers, related to expectations in the social context, and how their failure is necessary for the eventual marriages of the heroines, Fanny Price and Elizabeth Bennet. The fathers’ failure also leads to the elopement of Maria Bertram and Lydia Bennet. Sir Thomas and Mr Bennet’s failure is the result that comes from their need to counteract the overindulgence of Mrs Norris and Mrs Bennet. Judith Butler’s theory of gender performance will be used in this essay to show how Sir Thomas and Mr Bennet do not conform to their gender, as is shown through their repeated actions in the novels. The gender performance of these characters reveals the need for fluid gender roles for the happy ending.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I maintain that a focus on a narrowly defined sense of ‘fidelity’ is used to discourage and devalue adaptations that work to comment on class, racial, and gender dynamics that the original author did not. An emphasis on strict fidelity can also be a misogynistic response to Austen adaptations’ popularity among young women. While certainly one may have legitimate aesthetic concerns in regards to adaptations of any form—novel, film, YouTube, or otherwise—it is important to scrutinize the claim that such artistic differences are not, in fact, rooted in general disdain for narratives and media embraced by, or seemingly embraced by, women (particularly young women). Just as importantly, the motivations of those claiming to produce feminist narratives must be equally scrutinized, as I have found that these content producers at times use the very real misogyny directed at young women and their interests in order to shield themselves from criticism of their own portrayals of women and feminism. I discuss the discourse around contemporary film and book adaptations of Pride and Prejudice, as well as evaluate two recent adaptations that have made waves in popular culture: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and The Lizzie Bennet Diaries.

Previous issue date: 2007-06-25Esta dissertação analisa a influência de um conjunto de variáveis políticas na determinação dos ratings soberanos. Com efeito, contrário a estudo anterior publicado pelo IMF Working Paper Series, os resultados apontam para a significância estatística conjunta das variáveis políticas empregadas, ainda que controladas por indicadores econômicos largamente utilizados na literatura correspondente. O sucesso dos resultados baseia-se na utilização de novas variáveis visando captar o nível de desenvolvimento das instituições políticas, somada à ampla base de dados anualizados em painel envolvendo 79 países no período entre 1997 e 2003. Ademais, além da evidência do uso conjunto de variáveis políticas na determinação dos ratings soberanos, o tratamento econométrico dos dados em painel detectou a existência de heterogeneidade não-observada dos países da amostra, sendo esta correlacionada com as variáveis explicativas do modelo.

Abstract
This essay has a gender perspective on didactics and literature with the aim to highlight the circumstances surrounding reading and understanding the novel Pride and Prejudice in a classroom context.
Since Pride and Prejudice is written with a somewhat complicated language the pupils are likely to encounter some difficulties when reading the novel. This is something that I have chosen to focus my essay on. What is more, they are likely to also have difficulties to understand different episodes in the novel since they have little knowledge about the society depicted in Pride and Prejudice. This is referred to as a cultural and historical hindrance and they are present due to the fact that the story is set at the end of the 18th and beginning of 19th century England. However, there are various approaches which might diminish obstacles like those I have mentioned, for instance, by offering background information about the novel and recurring issues, such as marriage and financial heritance.
The areas of importance in the novel that I have chosen to highlight, because of the limited background knowledge that the students have, are marriage and financial independence for women. Marriage is depicted to be very important for a woman, especially
if they do not have a large fortune of their own. Due to lack of financial resources they needed to marry, since if they did not they could end up as old maids or even worse; having to support themselves by working as prostitutes. The chance of inheriting a lot of money was small, since the money from their father or mother was generally entitled to their closest male heir.

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel SuperiorO objetivo deste trabalho à analisar o processo de traduÃÃo da personagem Elizabeth Bennet, protagonista do romance Pride & Prejudice, publicado em 1813, de autoria da escritora inglesa Jane Austen, para o filme Pride and Prejudice (1940), de Robert Z. Leonard. Em sua obra, Austen constrÃi uma crÃtica a padrÃes socioculturais que relegam posiÃÃo inferior à mulher do sÃculo XIX em relaÃÃo ao sexo masculino. Tal crÃtica està presente de maneira sutil em sua narrativa, principalmente, centrada na personagem Elizabeth Bennet, pois Austen a apresenta como uma mulher inteligente, irÃnica, decidida e ousada; qualidades que nÃo eram associadas ao comportamento feminino durante o sÃculo XIX. Por apresentar personagens femininas de carÃter decidido, suas criaÃÃes ganham qualidade atemporal, sendo projetadas à posteridade por meio de traduÃÃes. Pride & Prejudice foi adaptado pela primeira vez para o cinema hollywoodiano em 1940, na versÃo supracitada de Leonard. E, sendo o cinema um meio que atinge grande pÃblico formado por leitores e nÃo leitores de obras literÃrias, indagamo-nos quais estratÃgias foram empregadas no processo tradutÃrio da referida personagem para a narrativa fÃlmica. Portanto, partimos da hipÃtese de que, ao ser traduzida para as telas, a personagem à reestruturada e a crÃtica à apagada para ceder lugar a uma narrativa cÃmica e romÃntica. Como base teÃrica, utilizamos princÃpios de Estudos da TraduÃÃo: Lefevere (2007), com o conceito de traduÃÃo como Reescritura e Cattrysse (1995), que concebe a adaptaÃÃo fÃlmica como traduÃÃo. Quanto aos estudos de cinema e literatura, utilizamos Martin (2005), Eisenstein (2002) e McFarlane (2010); e no que diz respeito a questÃes literÃrias, utilizamos Candido (2011), Rosenfeld (2011), Bakhtin (2011), Gomes (2011) e Forster (2004). Os resultados mostraram que ocorreram mudanÃas na configuraÃÃo da personagem cinematogrÃfica, obedecendo aos critÃrios do sistema receptor e apagando o teor crÃtico encontrado no romance de Austen. Mostraram ainda que a obra fÃlmica projetou o universo literÃrio do romance para um pÃblico mais amplo, dada as reediÃÃes do romance durante aquela dÃcada, em decorrÃncia da exibiÃÃo do filme.
This dissertation aims at analyzing the process of translating the character of Elizabeth Bennet, protagonist of the novel Pride & Prejudice, first published in 1813 by the English author, Jane Austen, into the film version Pride & Prejudice (1940), by Robert Z. Leonard. In her novel, Austen criticizes sociocultural patters which relegate women to an inferior position in relation to the male sex. Such criticism is subtlety present in the narrative and, especially, in the character of Elizabeth Bennet, who is seen as an intelligent, ironic and decisive woman. These qualities differ from the moral idea of women in nineteenth-century England. The presentation of this type of female character assures her of a timeless quality which is transmitted to posterity by means of translations. Pride & Prejudice was first translated for the Hollywood film in 1940, in the above mentioned Leonardâs version. Since the cinema is a medium that reaches a large audience of both readers and non-readers of literary works, one may question the strategies that are implied in the translation process of such character to the silver screen. It may be correctly assumed that when thus translated, any social criticism presented by the principal literary character tends to give way to a narrative which proposes entertainment, focusing on the love and comical relationship between the protagonists of the novel. The theoretic basis for the present analysis is based on the following concepts of translation: Lefevereâs translation rewriting (2007) and Cattrysseâs postulate (1995) which conceives film adaptation as a type of translation. Concerning film adaptation, Martin (2005), Eisenstein (2002) and McFarlaneâs (2010) studies, which regard cinema as a linguistic art in its own right, were incorporated into our analysis as were those of Candido (2011), Rosenfeld (2011), Bakhtin (2011), Gomes (2011) and Forster (2004), all of whom discuss the structure of the fictional character. Such studies have resulted in a new configuration of the cinematographic character. Based on the criteria on the target system, this configuration permits the deleting of the critical level found in the universe of the novel and introduces the original work to a wider audience, as can be proved by the republishing of the novel in various editions after the release of the film version in 1940.

O presente trabalho faz um estudo crítico de Pride and Prejudice (1813), de Jane Austen, buscando mostrar aproximações da obra com as mudanças sociais, políticas, econômicas e ideológicas que ocorreram na Inglaterra da passagem do século XVIII ao XIX, a partir da ascensão da burguesia. Com base na construção feita da heroína Elizabeth Bennet como uma personagem racional, em oposição às demais personagens do romance, contrastes de classe e gênero são explorados, de modo a conduzir a análise para uma interpretação da maneira como o casamento (atuação social principal de mulheres de certa classe no período) é desenvolvido ao longo de todo o romance, acabando por se tornar o fio condutor da narrativa uma verdadeira investigação de significados sociais desenvolvida pela autora.This work brings a critical study of Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice (1813).

Based on the construction of the heroine Elizabeth Bennet as a rational character, in opposition to the other characters of the novel, class and gender contrasts are explored in order to conduct the analysis to an interpretation of how the marriage (the main social activity of women of a certain class in the period) is developed throughout the novel, eventually becoming the underlying theme of the narrative a true research of social meanings developed by the author.

This dissertation aims at analyzing the process of translating the character of Elizabeth Bennet, protagonist of the novel Pride & Prejudice, first published in 1813 by the English author, Jane Austen, into the film version Pride & Prejudice (1940), by Robert Z. Leonard. In her novel, Austen criticizes sociocultural patters which relegate women to an inferior position in relation to the male sex. Such criticism is subtlety present in the narrative and, especially, in the character of Elizabeth Bennet, who is seen as an intelligent, ironic and decisive woman. These qualities differ from the moral idea of women in nineteenth-century England. The presentation of this type of female character assures her of a timeless quality which is transmitted to posterity by means of translations. Pride & Prejudice was first translated for the Hollywood film in 1940, in the above mentioned Leonard’s version. Since the cinema is a medium that reaches a large audience of both readers and non-readers of literary works, one may question the strategies that are implied in the translation process of such character to the silver screen. It may be correctly assumed that when thus translated, any social criticism presented by the principal literary character tends to give way to a narrative which proposes entertainment, focusing on the love and comical relationship between the protagonists of the novel. The theoretic basis for the present analysis is based on the following concepts of translation: Lefevere’s translation rewriting (2007) and Cattrysse’s postulate (1995) which conceives film adaptation as a type of translation. Concerning film adaptation, Martin (2005), Eisenstein (2002) and McFarlane’s (2010) studies, which regard cinema as a linguistic art in its own right, were incorporated into our analysis as were those of Candido (2011), Rosenfeld (2011), Bakhtin (2011), Gomes (2011) and Forster (2004), all of whom discuss the structure of the fictional character. Such studies have resulted in a new configuration of the cinematographic character. Based on the criteria on the target system, this configuration permits the deleting of the critical level found in the universe of the novel and introduces the original work to a wider audience, as can be proved by the republishing of the novel in various editions after the release of the film version in 1940.
O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o processo de tradução da personagem Elizabeth Bennet, protagonista do romance Pride & Prejudice, publicado em 1813, de autoria da escritora inglesa Jane Austen, para o filme Pride and Prejudice (1940), de Robert Z. Leonard. Em sua obra, Austen constrói uma crítica a padrões socioculturais que relegam posição inferior à mulher do século XIX em relação ao sexo masculino. Tal crítica está presente de maneira sutil em sua narrativa, principalmente, centrada na personagem Elizabeth Bennet, pois Austen a apresenta como uma mulher inteligente, irônica, decidida e ousada; qualidades que não eram associadas ao comportamento feminino durante o século XIX. Por apresentar personagens femininas de caráter decidido, suas criações ganham qualidade atemporal, sendo projetadas à posteridade por meio de traduções. Pride & Prejudice foi adaptado pela primeira vez para o cinema hollywoodiano em 1940, na versão supracitada de Leonard. E, sendo o cinema um meio que atinge grande público formado por leitores e não leitores de obras literárias, indagamo-nos quais estratégias foram empregadas no processo tradutório da referida personagem para a narrativa fílmica. Portanto, partimos da hipótese de que, ao ser traduzida para as telas, a personagem é reestruturada e a crítica é apagada para ceder lugar a uma narrativa cômica e romântica. Como base teórica, utilizamos princípios de Estudos da Tradução: Lefevere (2007), com o conceito de tradução como Reescritura e Cattrysse (1995), que concebe a adaptação fílmica como tradução. Quanto aos estudos de cinema e literatura, utilizamos Martin (2005), Eisenstein (2002) e McFarlane (2010); e no que diz respeito a questões literárias, utilizamos Candido (2011), Rosenfeld (2011), Bakhtin (2011), Gomes (2011) e Forster (2004). Os resultados mostraram que ocorreram mudanças na configuração da personagem cinematográfica, obedecendo aos critérios do sistema receptor e apagando o teor crítico encontrado no romance de Austen. Mostraram ainda que a obra fílmica projetou o universo literário do romance para um público mais amplo, dada as reedições do romance durante aquela década, em decorrência da exibição do filme.

This essay will analyse Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice from a feminist point of view, the emphasis being on how the environment and nature can reflect femininity and the relationships between men and women. The nature portrayed within Pride and Prejudice can also be looked at from a gender perspective in order to help understand how Jane Austen used nature to reflect the realities of gender differences in her society.

This essay is a discussion of how fiction can be used in teaching English as a second language to promote gender equality. The novels arePride and PrejudiceandNeverwhere. Firstly, the term gender is explained. Secondly, there is some research that demonstrates how gender is a social construction. The focus of this essay is on the role of the teacher, since his or her expectations and his or her way of interacting with students is crucial to promote gender equality in the classroom. Additionally, there is a discussion of the strategies that can help the teacher to detect bias in the teaching material. Furthermore, there are suggestions on how the novels can be used to promote gender equality through using the content-based approach.

What happens when an art museum decides to investigate the 'legacies of empire' through an explicitly colonial collection? And what happens when the 'outsider' asked to do this research holds an investigative mirror up to the museum's own history and cultural practices? This thesis presents findings from practice-led collaborative research into Manchester City Galleries' (MCG) collection of Empire Marketing Board (EMB) posters. The Empire Marketing Board (1926-33) was an early experiment in British peacetime governmental propaganda. 222 of its artist-designed posters were collected by Manchester's City Art Gallery in the 1930s as examples of art's benefit to industry but have remained little known or used since. This study of them used an innovative methodology, based on a rich mix of anthropology, museological theory, visual analysis, historical investigation and community consultation, to revisit their history, ascribe new meaning to their significance and examine their interpretive potential from a postcolonial perspective. The posters' contextual history was situated in theoretical terms amongst what Tony Bennett (1995a) has described as an 'exhibitionary complex', however, the meanings that they generated when re-presented through this research, suggested that this context still influences understandings of them. This thesis describes a series of new relationships developed between the EMB poster collection, MCG and its public today. It presents a broadly expressive understanding of the posters in their current, postcolonial context, revealing rich insights into their meaning-making potential. Yet, it also highlights a contradiction that staff working in art museums face when attempting to approach colonial histories from a postcolonial perspective. It brings attention to the restrictive tensions that condition understandings of material culture representing colonial 'self' identity and reveals 'invisible' aspects of institutional culture and identity that impeded engagement with this research. Overall, this thesis concludes that the 'legacies of empire' encountered in this research actually lay within 'ourselves', demonstrated through articulations and individual negotiations of colonial traces within an art museum context.

Full textAbstract:
Due to escalating carbon-based emissions, anthropogenic climate change is wreaking havoc on the natural and built environment as higher near-surface temperatures cause arctic ice-melt, rising sea levels and unpredictable turbulent weather patterns. The effects are especially devastating to inhabitants living in the water-worlds of developing countries where environmental pressure only exacerbates their vulnerability to oppressive economic policies. As climatic and economic pressures escalate, threats to local resources, living space, safety and security are all reaching a tipping point. Climate refugees may survive, but they will fall victim to displacement, economic insecurity, and socio-cultural destruction. With the current economic system in peril, it is now a matter of urgency that the global community determine ways to modify their behaviour in order to minimize the impact of climate change. This interdisciplinary comparative analysis contributes to the dialogue by turning to environmental history for similar scenarios with contrasting outcomes. It isolates two North Atlantic water-worlds and their inhabitants at an historical juncture when the combination of climatic and economic pressures threatened their survival. During the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Hebrideans in the Scottish Insular Gàidhealtachd and the Wabanaki in Ketakamigwa were both responding to the harsh conditions of the ‘Little Ice Age.’ While modifying their resource management, settlement patterns, and subsistence behaviours to accommodate climate change, they were simultaneously targeted by foreign opportunists whose practices and perceptions inevitably induced oppressive economic pressure. This critical period in their history serves as the centre of a pendulum that swings back to deglaciation and then forward again to the eighteenth century to examine the relationship between climate change and human behaviour in the North Atlantic. It will be demonstrated that both favourable and deteriorating climate conditions determine resource availability, but how humans manage those resources during feast or famine can determine their collective vulnerability to predators when the climate changes. It is argued that, historically, climate has determined levels of human development and survival on either side of the North Atlantic, regardless of sustainable practices. However, when cultural groups were under extreme environmental and economic pressure, there were additional factors that determined their fate. First, the condition of their native environment and prospect for continuing to inhabit it was partially determined by the level of sustainable practices. And, secondly, the way in which they perceived and treated one another partially determined their endurance. If they avoided internal stratification and self-protectionism by prioritising the needs of the group over that of the individual, they minimised fragmentation, avoided displacement, and maintained their social and culture cohesion.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines Jane Austen’s realistic interpretations of eighteenth-century English society with a particular focus on representing women’s oppressions in Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma. Austen, in these three novels, criticizes several issues related to women’s status in English society and focuses on how men and women should be treated equally. In the novels, she argues that English society creates social order, women’s oppressiveness, and gender inequality through arbitrary social norms and traditions.
This paper mainly focuses on two areas that restrict women’s roles in their society: the marriage plot and the educational system. Austen’s purpose of presenting these issues is to voice women’s rights and improve their conditions. She also offers her readers unusual descriptions of female characters in order to correct the stereotypical images of women during the period. Finally, this paper aims to show Austen’s success in redefining women’s status and change the misconceptions of women in British society.

Full textAbstract:
Through a liberal feminist perspective, this essay investigates the unconventional marital views of the fictional character Elizabeth Bennet. These are analyzed and compared to the traditional marital opinions of the novel's social environment. Moreover, the historical context is important in understanding the marital views in Pride and Prejudice, because the novel was written at a time when the views toward marriage changed significantly. This paper argues that Elizabeth's behavior, expressed opinions and rejections of Mr. Collins's and Mr. Darcy's proposals depict liberal feminist ideas of marriage. The literary review supports the notion that there are two contrasting attitudes toward marriage in Pride and Prejudice: the traditional view and the liberal feminist view. The thorough examination of Elizabeth Bennet's character strongly suggests that she represents the unconventional view of marriage, while characters such as Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet, and Charlotte Lucas voice the traditional view of marriage. Furthermore, an analysis of Mr. Darcy's attraction toward Elizabeth indicates that it was Elizabeth's very unconventionality that made Mr. Darcy fall in love with her.

Full textAbstract:
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Jane Austen is the proverbial choice for adaptation, especially her most famous novel Pride and Prejudice, published in 1813. Remarkably, this two hundred-year-old novel written by a lady who never married, always lived at home, and died at the age of forty-one, is one of the most timeless stories in English literature. Adapters are drawn to the story of Elizabeth and Darcy, both to pay reverence to the original, and to impart their own vision of the classic tale of first impressions. In the past two decades, the most creative, popular, and financially successful adaptations have emerged: the 1995 BBC miniseries Pride and Prejudice directed by Simon Langton, the 2005 feature film Pride & Prejudice directed by Joe Wright, and the 2012 transmedia storytelling experience The Lizzie Bennet Diaries directed by Bernie Su. This thesis utilizes the three components of Linda Hutcheon’s A Theory of Adaptation (2006) to discuss these works at length. After a preliminary chapter outlining the major adaptations theories, in Chapter Two I examine the 1995 BBC miniseries as a formal entity or product; in Chapter Three I discuss the 2005 film as a process of creation; and in Chapter Four I analyze the 2012 transmedia experience as a process of reception. This thesis argues that each of these adaptations does something remarkably different to set itself apart from the novel and the adaptations before it. I claim that adaptations of Pride and Prejudice from the 1990s onward respond back to the most recent adaptation just as much as they do the original novel, affirming the increasing popularity of Pride and Prejudice as an adaptive source text.

Duzentos anos após seu falecimento, as obras de Jane Austen ainda ecoam nas pessoas. Elas têm sido adaptadas das formas mais variadas, nas mais diferente mídias. Os Diários de Lizzie Bennet é um projeto transmidiático que transpõe o romance Orgulho e Preconceito (1813) para uma vídeo-série veiculada no YouTube de 2012 a 2013 de forma serializada. Esta pesquisa analisa de que forma temas que influenciam a vida das mulheres, como casamento, classe social e dinheiro, foram transpostos do período regencial inglês para a Califórnia-EUA do século vinte-um. Esta análise considera que ambas as obras são compostas por duas camadas de significado: a primeira é constituída pela comédia romântica que dialoga com a cultura popular; a segunda é mais profunda, através da qual a crítica social é revelada. No que tange ao referencial teórico, a relação entre a noção de subjetividade na virada do século dezenove e a expansão da vida privada na esfera pública no século vinte-um, conforme Jon Dovey (2000), é base para compreender como a estrutura de ambas as narrativas contribui na produção de significado. As discussões sobre feminismo e pós-feminismo na cultura popular de Angela McRobbie (2009) e Imelda Whelean (2010) tornam possível a observação da construção dos temas. Em Orgulho e Preconceito, as instituições sociais estabelecidas não são amplamente questionadas. Em vez disso, a composição da subjetividade dos personagens, especialmente das mulheres, revela a crítica a elementos sociais da época. Os Diários de Lizzie Bennet, a seu turno, desafiam as representações da mulher provenientes da cultura popular pós-feminista. A análise da adaptação revela que as mulheres ainda estão restritas a determinados papéis sociais assim como aquelas situadas no romance. Ainda há a necessidade de se encontrar equilíbrio.Two hundred years after her demise, Jane Austen’s works still resonate with people. They have been adapted in numerous ways through different media. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries is a transmedia project, which transposes the novel Pride and Prejudice (1813) to a videoblog series aired on YouTube from 2012 to 2013 in a serialised mode. This investigation analyses the ways issues concerning the lives of women, such as marriage, money and social class, were adapted from Regency England to twenty-first century California-USA. The analysis understands both works as consisting of two layers of meaning: a romantic comedy layer which converses with popular culture, and a deeper one through which social criticism is revealed. In theoretical terms, the relationship between the notion of subjectivity in the turn of nineteenth century and the spread of private life into the public sphere in the twenty-first century, as proposed by Jon Dovey (2000), informs the analysis of the structural elements of both narratives which contribute to the production of meaning. The discussions on feminism and post-feminism in popular culture by Angela McRobbie (2009) and Imelda Whelehan (2010) make it possible to observe the construction of the themes. In Pride and Prejudice, the established social institutions are not overtly questioned. Instead, it is the composition of the characters’ subjectivities, especially those of women, which reveals criticism on the social context of the time. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, for its part, challenges the established representations of women as informed by postfeminist popular culture. In the end, it seems to propose that women are, in fact, still restrained by social roles, just as the ones in the novel are. There is yet a need to find balance.

A partir do cotejamento entre a obra literária Pride and Prejudice (1813) e sua transcriação cinematográfica homônima de 2005, buscamos observar, por meio das reflexões de Volochínov, Medviédev e Bakhtin, as diferenças e similaridades refratadas nos discursos sobre a mulher em cada obra. A hipótese deste trabalho é que há diferenças nas ideologias refratadas em cada texto por conta da diferença de contexto sócio-histórico e ideológico em que se criam as obras (século XIX e século XXI). Utilizando uma metodologia dialógica, propomos a análise de algumas cenas que foram selecionadas a partir de dois eixos temáticos: a educação feminina (em oposição ao que se entende, principalmente no romance, como educação masculina) e o casamento (visto como contrato social). Em virtude do filme estabelecer-se como uma re-criação estável do romance, é possível o encontro de equivalência nas cenas das obras e, a partir disso, observar no filme as refrações ideológicas dos discursos num contexto muito próximo ao que fora escrito no romance. Para a análise, mobilizamos alguns conceitos importantes para a filosofia bakhtiniana, como signo, ideologia, autor-criador, forças centrífugas e centrípetas e, por se tratar de obras de arte, a dupla refração. Após observar e destacar os valores ideológicos refratados nos trechos do livro e do filme, a partir da análise das cenas selecionadas, é possível afirmar que se mantêm a posição ideológica de cada personagem propostas no livro na criação cinematográfica. Em geral, as vozes que refratam ideologias de forças centrípetas no livro também o fazem no filme; porém, na obra cinematográfica, há a intensificação das vozes que buscam a pluralização e a instabilidade dos valores sociais. No filme, a protagonista, Elizabeth, continua sendo questionadora, mas de forma mais incisiva. Esse recurso atualiza os discursos do livro, proporcionando aos interlocutores do século XXI uma resposta muito próxima àquela produzida no século XIX. A partir dessa observação da relação entre mundo ético e mundo estético ao se cotejar uma obra-base com sua transcriação, afirmamos a proposta de Medviédev sobre a leitura sociológica da obra artística.
From the collating between the literary work Pride and Prejudice (1813) and his homonymous film transcreation made in 2005, we seek to observe, through the reflections made by Volochínov, Medviédev and Bakhtin, differences and similarities in the women discourse’s refraction in each work. The hypothesis is that there are differences on the refracted ideologies in each text considering the socio-historical context and ideological differences in which the works are created (nineteenth and twenty-first century). Using a dialogic methodology we propose to analyze some scenes that were selected from two themes: female education (as opposed to what is meant, especially in the novel, as male education) and marriage (seen as a social contract). As the film established itself as a stable re-creation of the novel, the meeting of equivalence in the scenes of the works is possible and, from that, we observe that the discourses’ refractions on the film are in a very close connection to the refractions that were in the novel. For the analysis, we mobilize some important concepts for Bakhtin's philosophy, as sign, ideology, author-creator, centrifugal and centripetal forces, and as we are dealing with art, the double refraction. After observing and highlighting the refracted ideological values in parts of the book and in the film scenes, through the analysis, it is clear that the ideological position of each character in the book remains in the filmmaking. In general, the voices that refract ideologies of centripetal forces in the book also do it in the film; however, in the cinematographic work, there is the intensification of voices that seek the pluralization and the instability of social values. In the film, the protagonist, Elizabeth, is still questioning, but more forcefully. This feature updates the speeches of the book, giving the twenty-first century partners a close response to that produced in the nineteenth century. From the observation of the relationship between ethical world and aesthetic world by collating a base-work with its transcreation, we affirm the proposed by Medviédev on the sociological interpretation of artistic work.

Resumo: A partir do cotejamento entre a obra literária Pride and Prejudice (1813) e sua transcriação cinematográfica homônima de 2005, buscamos observar, por meio das reflexões de Volochínov, Medviédev e Bakhtin, as diferenças e similaridades refratadas nos discursos sobre a mulher em cada obra. A hipótese deste trabalho é que há diferenças nas ideologias refratadas em cada texto por conta da diferença de contexto sócio-histórico e ideológico em que se criam as obras (século XIX e século XXI). Utilizando uma metodologia dialógica, propomos a análise de algumas cenas que foram selecionadas a partir de dois eixos temáticos: a educação feminina (em oposição ao que se entende, principalmente no romance, como educação masculina) e o casamento (visto como contrato social). Em virtude do filme estabelecer-se como uma re-criação estável do romance, é possível o encontro de equivalência nas cenas das obras e, a partir disso, observar no filme as refrações ideológicas dos discursos num contexto muito próximo ao que fora escrito no romance. Para a análise, mobilizamos alguns conceitos importantes para a filosofia bakhtiniana, como signo, ideologia, autor-criador, forças centrífugas e centrípetas e, por se tratar de obras de arte, a dupla refração. Após observar e destacar os valores ideológicos refratados nos trechos do livro e do filme, a partir da análise das cenas selecionadas, é possível afirmar que se mantêm a posição ideológica de cada personagem propostas no livro na criação cinematográfica. Em geral, as vozes que refratam ideologias de forças centrípetas no livro também o fazem no filme; porém, na obra cinematográfica, há a intensificação das vozes que buscam a pluralização e a instabilidade dos valores sociais. No filme, a protagonista, Elizabeth, continua sendo questionadora, mas de forma mais incisiva. Esse recurso atualiza os...
Abstract: From the collating between the literary work Pride and Prejudice (1813) and his homonymous film transcreation made in 2005, we seek to observe, through the reflections made by Volochínov, Medviédev and Bakhtin, differences and similarities in the women discourse's refraction in each work. The hypothesis is that there are differences on the refracted ideologies in each text considering the socio-historical context and ideological differences in which the works are created (nineteenth and twenty-first century). Using a dialogic methodology we propose to analyze some scenes that were selected from two themes: female education (as opposed to what is meant, especially in the novel, as male education) and marriage (seen as a social contract). As the film established itself as a stable re-creation of the novel, the meeting of equivalence in the scenes of the works is possible and, from that, we observe that the discourses' refractions on the film are in a very close connection to the refractions that were in the novel. For the analysis, we mobilize some important concepts for Bakhtin's philosophy, as sign, ideology, author-creator, centrifugal and centripetal forces, and as we are dealing with art, the double refraction. After observing and highlighting the refracted ideological values in parts of the book and in the film scenes, through the analysis, it is clear that the ideological position of each character in the book remains in the filmmaking. In general, the voices that refract ideologies of centripetal forces in the book also do it in the film; however, in the cinematographic work, there is the intensification of voices that seek the pluralization and the instability of social values.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESJane Austen is an important English writer at the turn of the eighteenth into the nineteenth century. She is praised for her vivid description of the English society, the development of important narrative techniques, and the deep psychological treatment of her characters. In her six novels, Austen discusses social and literary issues that were important in her day. Therefore, Austen’s fiction has been the subject of a wealth of critical studies. Nonetheless, there is an aspect of her fiction that has not been sufficiently studied yet, namely, the notions of reading and readers. Two novels are especially meaningful to discuss this issue: Pride and Prejudice (1813) and Sense and Sensibility (1811). Thus, this study aims to identify and discuss the notions of reading and readers in both novels. The characters/readers of each novel are analyzed with regards to their individual attitude as readers of fictional and non-fictional texts and of the circumstances they live. The analysis enables us to discuss the notions of reading and readers that the author defends or criticizes. We can affirm that this topic was not only an important subject for Jane Austen and the English society, but also an internalized and structuring aspect of her novels. The reading and re-reading process experienced by Austen’s characters allows for their psychological depth once the narrative voice penetrates into the characters’ consciousness or moves away from them in order to comment on and evaluate their attitude as readers. In both novels, the author discusses the process of internalization and subjectivation of reading. Therefore, through the different notions of reading and readers present in Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility, Austen not only defends the importance of reading and re-reading for the reader’s intellectual and emotional maturity (an issue that is still topical), but also opens up new perspectives for the novel as a literary genre.
Jane Austen é uma importante escritora inglesa da virada do século XVIII para o XIX, aclamada pela vívida descrição da sociedade inglesa, pelo desenvolvimento de importantes técnicas narrativas e pelo aprofundamento psicológico de suas personagens. Além disso, em seus seis romances, Austen discute questões sociais e literárias importantes para sua época. Assim, a obra de Jane Austen possui fortuna crítica extensa. Todavia, há um aspecto de seus romances ainda insuficientemente estudado: as concepções de leitura e de leitores neles elaboradas. Dois romances representativos dessa questão são Pride and Prejudice (1813) e Sense and Sensibility (1811). Em vista disso, este estudo discute as concepções de leitura e de leitores nesses dois romances. A análise das personagens-leitoras, em cada romance, permite perceber suas posturas individuais quanto aos textos que leem e às circunstâncias que vivem, e discutir quais concepções de leitura e de leitor são defendidas ou criticadas pela autora. Conclui-se que a questão de leitura e de leitores era tanto um assunto relevante para Jane Austen e para a sociedade inglesa da época como também um elemento internalizado e estruturante dos romances da autora. O processo de leitura e releitura, com o qual as personagens de Austen estão envolvidas, permite o aprofundamento psicológico das mesmas através da voz narrativa que ora penetra na consciência das personagens ora se afasta delas para comentar e avaliar sua postura como leitores. Nos dois romances, a autora discute o processo de internalização e subjetivação da leitura. Assim, por meio das diferentes concepções de leitura e de leitores presentes em Pride and Prejudice e Sense and Sensibility, Austen defende não só a importância da leitura e da releitura para o amadurecimento intelectual e emocional do leitor (tema ainda de interesse contemporâneo), como também abre novas perspectivas para o romance como gênero literário.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines Jane Austen's realistic interpretations of eighteenth-century English society with a particular focus on representing women's oppress ions in Sense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, and Emma. Austen, in these three novels, criticizes several issues related to women's status in English society and focuses on how men and women should be treated equally. In the novels, she argues that English society creates social order, women's oppressiveness, and gender inequality through arbitrary social norms and traditions.
This paper mainly focuses on two areas that restrict women's roles in their society: the marriage plot and the educational system. Austen's purpose of presenting these issues is to voice women's rights and improve their conditions. She also offers her readers unusual descriptions of female characters in order to correct the stereotypical images of women during the period. Finally, this paper aims to show Austen's success in redefining women's status and change the misconceptions of women in British society.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Both Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) and Bridget Jones’s Diary (Helen Fielding) have been thoroughly examined by literary critics. When discussed from a feminist perspective, critics are ambiguous as some claim that the novels work against feminist values rather than the reverse. This essay aims to add to the existing discussion, with focus on narration, specifically the narrative authority heroines Elizabeth and Bridget claim. Thus, it is situated within feminist narratology, examining the discourse of the narrative rather than the story. Analysis is conducted with Alison Case’s concept feminine narration, where women traditionally have been narrative witnesses without authority. Through acts of plotting and preaching, authority is claimed by which the narrator can control the meaning the reader is meant to derive from the narrative. I argue that Elizabeth and Bridget both assert narrative authority throughout their stories, thus breaking gendered conventions by claiming agency in traditionally male positions. Additionally, the comparative analysis enables discussion on “Chick lit” literary status, which has been questioned by critics. Analysis shows that both Elizabeth and Bridget assert narrative authority throughout their stories, by acts of plotting and preaching. Often, both heroines meet male characters attempting to usurp narrative authority by assuming the role of master-narrator, a figure who traditionally possesses more authority. By avoiding these attempts, Elizabeth and Bridget escape the position as narrative witnesses and claim authority, thus directing the readers towards the intended meaning of respective narratives. Furthermore, the comparative analysis opens up for a broader discussion of issues women have faced, and continue to face, throughout time.

O presente trabalho é uma tentativa de elucidar o que eu considero um fenômeno na literatura, os mash-ups. Em 2009 a lista dos livros mais vendidos da New York Times trouxe um novo romance intitulado Orgulho e Preconceito e Zombies. A editora Quirk Books apresentou como autor Seth Grahame-Smith e a romancista inglesa há muito falecida Jane Austen como co-autora. O livro combina o texto clássico de Austen de 1813 com elementos da moderna ficção de zumbis. O objetivo desta pesquisa é estudar a (desconcertante) possibilidade de alguém modificar uma obra-prima. A autora ainda está presente em seu texto, ou aquele que insere, remixa e acrescenta ao trabalho é o real autor? Esta e outras perguntas são investigadas. Com o aporte teórico de Sanders (2006), Shields (2010), Lessig (2004), faz-se a investigação sobre adaptações, colagens, apropriações e direitos autorais. O romance aqui analisado pertence à literatura não mais protegida por direitos autorais e, portanto, é considerado apto para modificações, permitindo, assim, a justaposição que está no centro do gênero literário sob escrutínio. O tremendo sucesso comercial deste mash-up serve para mostrar que não só Jane Austen, mas também os mortos-vivos são transformados em mercadorias, o que conduz às possíveis conclusões de que Austen vende, os zumbis vendem, e ambos dão aos leitores algo que estes anseiam, talvez maneiras mais suaves, romance, costumes e valores de outrora; no caso dos mortos-vivos, eles exploram temas que transgredem e ameaçam nosso senso de asseio e decoro, particularmente no tocante ao corpo, às nossas identidades, e a nossa mortalidade. Através de olhares como o de Žižek (2008), pode-se inferir que o sucesso do livro pode ser visto como um tributo ao poder do marketing viral, ao interesse duradouro e contínuo em Jane Austen, e ao atual zeitgeist zumbi.The present research brings an attempt to elucidate what I consider a phenomenon in literature, the mash-ups. In 2009 the New York Times Bestseller List featured a new novel entitled Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Publisher Quirk Books presented as author Seth Grahame-Smith and long dead and beloved English novelist Jane Austen as co-author. The book combines Austen‘s 1813 classic text with elements of modern zombie fiction. The aim of this research is to study the (disconcerting) possibility of someone tweaking with a masterpiece. Is the author still present in her text or the one who inserts, remixes and adds to the work is the actual author? This and other questions are investigated. With the theoretical approach of Sanders (2006), Shields (2010), Lessig (2004), and others, there is an investigation on adaptations, collage, appropriations and authorial rights. The novel analyzed here is literature no longer protected by copyright and therefore considered apt for tweaking, thus allowing for the juxtaposition which is at the core of the literary genre under scrutiny. This mash-up‘s tremendous commercial success goes to show that not only Jane Austen, but also the undead have become commodities, which leads the possible conclusions that Austen sells, and zombies sell, and they all give readers something they crave for, perhaps gentle manners, romance, mores and values long gone; and in the case of the living-dead, they explore themes that transgress and threaten our sense of cleanliness and propriety, particularly referencing the body, our identities, and our mortality. Through the point of view of Žižek (2008), and other thinkers, it is possible to infer that the book's success may be regarded as a tribute to the power of viral marketing, to the long lasting and continuous interest in Jane Austen, and to the current zombie zeitgeist.

Abstract
This essay will discuss why one would use a literary text such as Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (1813) in a classroom. There is a certain focus on what Pride and Prejudice might have to offer both male and female students, since research has shown that boys tend to resist reading romantic novels and stories about girls. This essay attempts to show that a gender focused reading of Pride and Prejudice might make it interesting to male students as well, since the way that the unequal relationship between men and women is portrayed concerns them as well as the female students.
Regarding the reasons for using literature in the classroom, I will investigate what it is that literary texts can offer to its readers. This essay will argue that reading literature is an aesthetic experience, which is what separates literary texts from other non-literary texts. Aesthetic experiences have to do with the way student’s feel about and experience certain texts, and also with the artistic values of a text. To have an aesthetic experience is very important since the English classroom is a place where the students´ feelings and experiences normally are not given enough neither time nor space.
This essay attempts to show that by looking at stereotypical characters in Pride and Prejudice, as well as looking at what qualities in men and women were considered desirable, a very interesting discussion might arise in the classroom, concerning gender roles, and inequality between men and women. A discussion of this sort gives the students an opportunity to question the gender roles we have in today’s society, as well as the relationship between men and women.
Keywords: Literature, reading, aesthetic experience, gender, stereotypes.

Full textAbstract:
As obras de Jane Austen são extremamente populares tanto entre leitores comuns e estudiosos de literatura desde a época em que foram publicados, no início do século XIX até os dias de hoje. Tamanha popularidade foi responsável por inúmeras obras de arte, especialmente na literatura e no cinema, que foram ou implicitamente ou explicitamente influenciados pela obra de Austen. Um de seus romances mais adaptados é Orgulho e Preconceito, talvez seu romance mais lido, estudado e adaptado. Um dos motivos para tal apreciação é provavelmente resultado dos valores morais que Jane Austen expõe em seus romances. Estes valores, mesmo duzentos anos mais tarde, permanecem importantes e de grande valor, especialmente na era pós-moderna, quando o excesso de liberdade e alternativas parecem deixar a humanidade mais desprovida de um suporte seguro na vida. Esta é a razão que permite um fã de Austen encontrar na religião um possível diálogo, onde, em um mundo cheio de incertezas, certos códigos morais são as certezas a que alguém pode se segurar. Em 2003, Andrew Black dirigiu o filme Pride and Prejudice: a latter-day comedy1, uma transposição moderna do romance de Austen, no qual os personagens vão à igreja e estudam em uma universidade religiosa. Meu trabalho busca estabelecer uma relação entre o livro de Jane Austen, o filme de Andrew Black e as questões sobre moralidade e religião, e como o romance e o filme estabelecem uma conexão não apenas em seus elementos de ficção como personagens e enredo, mas principalmente no que diz respeito a uma das possíveis mensagens finais em ambas obras.The works of Jane Austen are extremely popular both among average readers and literature scholars from the time they were published, in the early 19th century until today. Such popularity has been responsible for innumerous works of art, especially in literature and cinema, that were either implicitly or explicitly influenced by Austen’s work. One of her most adapted novels is the 1812 novel Pride and Prejudice, which is perhaps her most read, studied and adapted novel. One of the reasons for such appraisal has probably to do with the moral values Jane Austen exposes in her novels. Those values, even two hundred years later, remain important and of great worth, especially in the postmodern era, when the excess of freedom and alternatives seems to make humanity more deprived of a secure ground in life. This is the reason that allows an Austen fan to find in religion a possible dialogue, where, in a world full of uncertainties, some moral codes are the certainties one can hold onto. In 2003, Andrew Black directed a movie entitled Pride and Prejudice: a latter-day comedy, a transposition of Austen’s novel to a modern setting, where the characters are themselves churchgoers and students at a religious university. My work is aimed at establishing a connection between Jane Austen’s novel, Andrew Black’s movie and the issue of morality and religion, and how the novel and movie establish a connection not only in terms of fictional elements such as characters and plot, but mainly in regards to one of the possible final messages in both works.

Full textAbstract:
In Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, gender roles and gender expectations relate to class differences in a system of social convention which operates to delimit all of the characters - men and women, rich people and less privileged people - to a greater or lesser extent, in a way which reflects actual class and gender structures in England around 1800. The most important strain of social commentary on gender and class in the novel is constituted by the characterisation of Elizabeth Bennet. She is associated with intelligence in a way which is vital to her successful breach of gender and class conventions. This essay starts out from Susan Morgan’s ”Intelligence in Pride and Prejudice” and will extend her arguments in my reading of the novel to prove that Elizabeth’s intelligence allows her to transgress social conventions related to gender and class more successfully than other characters and arrive at a happy ending despite having defied social convention. A number of other characters also represent a breach of class and gender conventions. Lydia Bennet elopes with Mr. Wickham, which at the time was considered scandalous. Mr. Darcy tries to ignore his affection for Elizabeth but fails to do so. In comparison to the unconventionality of Elizabeth, who manages to overcome every obstacle by relying on her intelligence in a way which also benefits Darcy and secures a happy ending for him as well, their transgressions are not as successful.Sammanfattning I Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice så relaterar könsroller och könsförväntningar till klassskillnader i ett system av sociala konventioner som fokuserar på att begränsa alla karaktärer, t.ex. kvinnor, män, rika och fattiga , till en större eller mindre utsträckning samt på ett sätt som reflekterar faktiska köns och klasstrukturer i England runt 1800-talet. De viktigaste sociala kommentarerna som rör köns- och klassteman i novellen utgörs av Elizabeth Bennets karaktärisering. Hon associeras med intelligens på ett sätt som är betydande för hennes lyckade överträdande mot köns- och klasskonventioner. Denna uppsats utgår från Susan Morgans ”Intelligence in Pride and Prejudice” och kommer förlänga hennes argument inom min läsning av romanen för att bevisa att Elizabeths intelligens tillåter henne att överträda sociala konventioner relaterade till genus och status på ett framgångsrikare sätt än andra karaktärer samt åstadkomma ett lyckligt slut trots att hon utmanat sociala konventioner. Andra karaktärer i romanen representerar också ett överträdande mot köns- och klasskonventioner. Lydia Bennet rymmer med Mr Wickham, vilket under den tiden ansågs vara skandalöst. Mr Darcy försöker ignorera sina känslor för Elizabeth men lyckas inte. I jämförelse med Elizabeth, som genom att förlita sig på sin intelligens lyckas överkomma varje hinder på ett sätt som också gynnar Darcy och även säkrar ett lyckligt slut för honom, så är de andra karaktärernas överträdande inte lika framgångsrikt.

Full textAbstract:
In Jane Austen’s Emma, Pride and Prejudice and Northanger Abbey there is a central theme of finding a marriage partner from economic, social and love perspectives. The focus of this essay is to look from a materialist feminist perspective at how these factors influence the characters’ marital matches. I have also looked at how love as a sought after ideal in marriage conceals the social and economic factors’ influence. The novels all discuss how women’s marginalized economic position forces them to marry. Social factors such as women’s need to find a husband and their expected domestic role have also had an influence. Love works in the novels to support the oppression of women by justifying marriage and concealing women’s unequal role in society.

Full textAbstract:
Although two hundred years separate Jane Austen and Helen Fielding and, subsequently, also their portrayals of society, the similarities outweigh the differences. When juxtaposing Pride and Prejudice and Bridget Jones’s Diary in the light of feminism it is evident that both books provide clear examples of the prevailing situation of women in each time and place. The aspects of the study, which are especially important today, show both the development and some degree of stagnation of women’s rights and identities.
