Abstract:

Como Bronwyn Polaschek menciona em The postfeminist biopic, o filme Sylvia (Christine Jeffs, 2003) é baseado em biografias de Sylvia Plath que focam em seu relacionamento com o marido Ted Hughes – como é o caso de A mulher calada, de Janet Malcolm. Neste artigo, fundamentado nos trabalhos de Linda Hutcheon, Mary E. Hawkesworth e Tracy Brain, argumento que essa biografia funciona como um palimpsesto de Sylvia e que o filme constrói Plath como a persona de Ariel, negligenciando sua “Juvenilia” – sua poesia inicial, conforme definida por Hughes. De fato, Sylvia deixa de fora os primórdios da vida

Abstract:

If, as Jacqueline Rose (1991) claims, Sylvia Plath is a ghost that haunts our culture, a ghost created from myths, stories and fantasies, then what happens to these myths and fantasies when they seep into the world at large? This piece of research aims to explore the notion of haunting. How does Sylvia Plath return and in what way does she inform the lives of her readers? This research collects, combines and critiques the 'creative autobiographies' of Plath 'reader-fans' and engages in the ongoing debates about the problematic nature of ethnography (Skeggs, 1995, Lawler, 2000) thus contributin

Abstract:

S’appuyant sur l’étude de manuscrits, textes et oeuvres picturales non publiés, ce travail examine les influences artistiques, le travail de l’image et la représentation du regard dans l’oeuvre de Plath. Cette dernière s’affranchit progressivement d’une esthétique formaliste qui fait du poème un artefact pictural figé, et de la vision le fondement de l’écriture. Influencés par l’esthétique cinématographique et la grammaire des rêves, ses derniers poèmes envisagent au contraire l’écriture comme un processus à la fois dynamique et violent. Ce travail étudie également la représentation du regard

Abstract:

On a creative and a personal level, Sylvia Plath seems to have been fascinated by the relationship between life and death. Her work reflects an ongoing preoccupation with duality and a sense of tension between two opposing forces suffuses virtually every poem she wrote in the period from 1956 to early 1963. Because her attitude to both life and death is deeply ambivalent, Plath's poetry rests on a strong awareness of conflict and her art is characterized by a continual pull between extremes. This thesis is an examination of how she uses images of life in poems that ostensibly deal with death.W

Abstract:

This thesis reads Elizabeth Bishop and Sylvia Plath for their poetic engagement psychoanalysis. This reading nuances their relation to confessional poetry. By 'confessional' I mean the term first used to describe Robert Lowell's 'Life Studies' (1959), and later to describe the poets that were influenced by him. My main intervention is that what makes Bishop and Plath's poetry appear confessional owes to their engagement with psychoanalysis. Confessional poetry provokes psychoanalytic interpretation, but these two poets are not the passive object of psychoanalytic interpretation. Instead they u

Abstract:

This body of work attempts to interpret Sylvia Plath’s and Ted Hughes’ literary career from a point of view that extricates itself from the standard discourses surrounding their private lives, discourses that often distort insights into their poetry. Starting from the authors’ biographies, in the first chapter I will argue, among other things, that truth and fiction are often mixed in the portrayal of Hughes’ and Plath’s lives, especially as far as their marriage and the interpretation of their works are concerned. Hughes’ Birthday Letters (1998) has often been defined as the poetic version of

Face in obscurity, she blows out three white candles that burn at different lengths, fixed to a saucer sitting atop a desk crowded with papers. Streams of smoke rise into the air; thin white lines twist and coil, undulating against the darkness of the surround-ing room. From behind, we see her walk up a short flight of stairs into the kitchen. Backlit with early morning glow, she emerges in silhou-ette—tall, slender, modest housecoat tied at the waist, long hair hanging down her back—as she moves in a deliberate, efficient manner. She opens and closes cupboards, prepares a tray of tea for one,

Abstract:

Every drawing we see or make reveals something about the world. It can tell us about a moment, a time, a history, as much as about who created it and how we observe what surrounds us. Drawing is as innate as seeing, because both mature in tandem with the development of our minds. Without drawing, that is, without understanding the images as such (what makes them different from what we observe and at the same time, what makes them similar), we would hardly develop the ability to read or write, as the connections we establish through drawing are essential for those processes. Seeing something is
