Abstract:

The objective of this thesis is to investigate examples of mythological motifs regarding their history and meaning. The thesis aims to show that the symbolic language used in myths, legends, folk and fairy tales have an important role within modern society and still have an effect on people's lives. Chapter I gives an overview of the Lady of the Lake tales contained in John Rhys' work Celtic Folklore Welsh and Manx and investigates whether those tales express in symbolic language actual historic events and issues of the times during which those tales were formulated. Chapter II widens the perspective by looking at various examples of water legends in Wales which are related to the Lady of the Lake cycle. It becomes evident that the uniting factor of all those tales is that they deal with conflicting ethical systems. Chapter III engages a detailed analysis of the motifs contained in the Legend of the "Lady of Llyn y Fan Fach" and combines the historic interpretation approach with a psychological method of interpretation. Chapters IV and V are concerned with tracing the motifs discussed in the previous chapters in twentieth-century works. Chapter IV looks at how one author uses motifs and universal symbols to make personal statements. Chapter V interprets the Walt Disney cartoon "The Little Mermaid". The Conclusion expands on the previously introduced idea of the development of the human mind. It has been suggested that symbolic language can reflect aspects of human reality and an attempt has been made to show how symbolic language operates. The Conclusion discusses the idea that the mythological way of thinking should be amalgamated with the rational capabilities of the human mind in order to create a new and effective understanding of reality.

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.

Full text

Abstract:

As a struggling single mother separated from her dissolute husband, the poet Charlotte Smith (1749-1806) began writing novels as a way to make money for her family. The exploding book market of late eighteenth-century Britain teemed with booksellers and publishers—some anxious to hustle works to press, some seeking quality works to build their reputation—and Smith entered this male-centric realm with naïveté, shaky confidence, and growing desperation. Guided by a literary mentor to the reputable London publishing firm of Thomas Cadell, Sr., Smith entered a business relationship that would see her through the publication and later editions of two translated novels, three original novels, the two-volume poem The Emigrants, and a subscription and an expanded edition of her celebrated poetry and essay collection, Elegiac Sonnets. Most of the letters Smith wrote to Cadell have never been published; the majority of them were discovered just as Judith Phillips Stanton was taking her Collected Letters of Charlotte Smith (2003) to press. This scholarly edition includes every known letter that Smith wrote to Cadell before his retirement, when his son and assistant redubbed it Cadell & Davies. Compiled from university, public, and private libraries in Britain, the U.S., and New Zealand, these annotated letters offer an intimate portrait of Smith as entrepreneurial author, desperate businesswoman, and careworn single mother of nine children in an era of revolutionary (and counter-revolutionary) fervor, Empire building.

Abstract:

Because of the lack of information concerning the success or failure of Schubert's bilingual edition and concerning the relationship between the English texts and Schubert's settings, most performers take the conservative route of performing both the songs from Lady of the Lake and the rest of Schubert's English song repertoire only with the German translations. Because of the desirability of performing this repertoire in English for English-speaking audiences, this study examines all of the English songs of Schubert to determine whether the original poems can be successfully substituted for the German translations. Editions of the settings that can be effectively performed with the English texts are included in the appendix, in order to make available editions which reflect Schubert's ambition to make his songs easily accessible to non-German-speaking audiences.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the structures guiding and informing reading intrinsic to James's "late" style. It seeks to explore James's analogy between reading as an ethical activity and his own and his characters' acts of storytelling. It looks first at the necessities of reading as they are presented through the character of Isabel Archer in The Portrait of a Lady, to find that reading for James is itself a form of storytelling. James's concept of "revision," which replaces the concept of "re-writing," unites the activities of reading and storytelling because both activities, to be free, must be guided by the contingencies of experience. James's emphasis on the determinations of experience, which yields changing apprehensions of the same material, at once makes reading a test of the reader's resources in dealing with unexpected and complex situations, and storytelling an act of improvisation if it is to be faithful to the demands of its subject. The second half of the thesis examines Maggie Verver's command of storytelling in The Golden Bowl. It finds that ethical storytellers must have the same faith in their subject matter as ethical readers must have in the texts they engage. Finally, the thesis unites the study of reading with storytelling by examining the ways in which stories are exemplary performances whose the most significant subject is the audience. It is the forms of judgement that a work of art elicits which are essential to establishing alternative conceptions of the good and new modes of valuation in a community.

Abstract:

Projektet är ett glasdesignprojekt där visionen var att ta fram en nyskapande belysningsarmatur för privat,

offentlig och exklusiv miljö.

Målet var att ta fram en nyskapande belysningsarmatur med avseende form, teknik och material med

möjlighet till rationell tillverkning. Syftet var att undersöka glasets möjligheter, begränsningar och uttryck genom en komplex form och specifika krav på utseende. Jag ville undersöka glasets möjligheter och

formbarhet. Hur mjukt och böljande går det att forma glaset? Kan glaset få samma mjukhet och svallande egenskaper som textil? Jag ville även undersöka hur ljuset påverkas av glasets form, tjocklek och färg.

I projektet har jag fått ta hänsyn till många olika parametrar så som tillverkningsteknik, ljuskälla, ljustyp, tekniska lösningar m.m. Jag har även fått kompromissa när det gäller form och storlek på mitt objekt p.g.a den korta tiden.

Objektet blåstes av Mikael Johansson i hyttan i Pukeberg.

This project is a glass design project with the vision to create a innovative armature for private, public and exclusive environment.

The goal was to create a innovative armature in meaning of form, technique and material with contingency of rational production. The aim was to examine the possiblities, limitations and expression of the glass through a complex form and specific demands of appearance. I wanted to examine the possibilities and formablity of the glass. How smooth and billow can the glass be formed? Can the glass get the same softness and billow

appearance as fabric? I also wanted to examine how light is affected by the shape, thickness and colour of the glass.

In these project I have had to take into concideration several parameters, like manufacturing techniques, light source, light type, technical solutions etc. I also have had to compromise concerning form and size of my object due to the short project time. The objects where blown by Mikael Johansson in the blowing room of Pukeberg.

Livingstone, Tessa. "Lady Grimm." PDXScholar, 2018. https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/4476.

Full text

Abstract:

Lady Grimm is a conceptual assemblage. A substrate of fairy tales, fables, and nursery rhymes provide a basis for transformative and macabre frames, specifically concerning a stillbirth in 1940s Scotland. The collection utilizes the folklore genre to navigate a world of uncertainty and realities too difficult for its speakers to face. It further critiques the assumption of voice being restricted to human cognition. Animalistic totems as sea lions, peacocks, rabbits, and iguanas are some of the spirits summoned in order to explore themes such as motherhood, irreversible loss, abandonment, and choice within choicelessness. The collection begins in tragedy but gestures toward redemption as it maneuvers through strange & haunting imagery, mystic & surreal narratives. Ultimately, Lady Grimm illuminates a path towards perseverance in a coldly indifferent world.

Abstract:

The problem with narcotics is one of Sweden’s biggest social problems. Statistics shows that

the number of narcotic related deaths and the numbers of heavy drug users are increasing. The

present narcotic policy has been questioned due to this increase. As a social worker you meet

drug users on a daily basis. A possible review of the current law requires that the social

workers are well knowledgeable in order to take part in the debate. To be able to discuss new

political directions you need to have knowledge about the history. The purpose with this

dissertation is to understand the Swedish social political ideas that resulted in the 1968’s

narcotic penalty law. This dissertation has a social constructive perspective and in the analysis

has the labeling theiry been applied. As a method a document analysis has been used. The

material has mainly been Parliamentary protocols and SOU-investigations. An analysis of the

contents was made when the material was read. The younger drug users, the increasing

consumption, the drug users groups and the illegal drug traffic was main factors that

influenced the social political thought and ideas that lead to the 1968’s narcotic penalty law.

Abstract:

This story cycle focuses on the members of the Ordoñez family of Castroville, California from the time of the first generation’s migration from Mexico in the 1950s to the most recent generation who moves out of the town in the 2000s. “The Ordoñez Pride” shows the entire family as they experience a miracle. Cecilia, the matriarch, receives a belated wedding ring that bursts into flame that doesn’t burn her, but everything else it comes into contact with. The flame also magically sparks hers and her husband’s sex life into overdrive and, late in life, they produce three more children, for a total of nine. Following this framing story, we see snapshots of all the other family members at life-changing moments. In “After the Revolution” we see Ray Ordoñez , the family patriarch, grow from a boy into a man, as he defends his sister from what he perceives to be the American ranch owner practicing the right to first night—a custom that was still practiced in rural Mexico in the twentieth century. Eventually, Ray migrates to California and begins his family, becomes assimilated into American culture, and reluctantly welcomes an American boy—his oldest daughter’s boyfriend—into his household.

Abstract:

The Hat Lady Equation is a collection of poems by Lauren Capone. As influences she cites Elizabeth Bishop, John Berryman, among the exquisite minutiae of day-to-day living. The poems explore works of visual art by Alberto Giacometti, James Taylor Bonds, Chris Dennis, Blaine Capone (her brother), and creatures of the natural world including fish, the rhinoceros, a lettered olive shell. . . . Lauren shows a preoccupation with disassembling through the poems whether it's her identity, art, or happenings of everyday life.

Kern, Meghan. "The Lady Markham Elegies." VCU Scholars Compass, 2019. https://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/5863.

Full text

Abstract:

This project studies the contemporary manuscript transmission of three poems written on the 1609 death of Lady Bridget Markham. Lady Markham was the cousin of the influential courtier and patron Lucy, Countess of Bedford and her death prompted an outpouring of verses that were collected in manuscript verse miscellanies during the period. John Donne was in the process of establishing a patronage relationship with Lady Bedford at the time and wrote a respectful elegy on her cousin’s death. Francis Beaumont also wrote, for the same occasion, what has been called the most “repellent” work of the English Renaissance. That same year, Lady Bedford wrote an elegy on the death of another kinswoman, Cecilia Bulstrode, which several scribes redirected to Lady Markham. This project attends to the diverse ways contemporary verse collectors encountered, altered, and situated these poems, mediating the legacy of Markham’s death and Bedford’s patronage. The method for this project adapts elements of single-author critical editing to study the verses as a group. By organizing textual study around Lady Bedford and the death of Lady Markham, it reorients research away from the individual author towards the patron and her circle.

Full text

Abstract:

Aphra Behn has, throughout her life and subsequent years, been both demonized as a writer of bawdy and licentious plays and poetry as well as being hailed as the forerunner of female writers. She was a woman writing in a man's world, and not only survived the experience, but was exceptionally successful in her efforts. While so little is known about her background, the numerous plays she has left behind demonstrate a skilled author in many forms, as well as a creative and innovative storyteller. This thesis will examine how Behn used the traditional theatrical forms of the time and created dynamic female characters that were quite unique in their own ways. Stock characters were a standard in Restoration comedies, and she used these types to make significantly stronger female characters than those portrayed by her contemporary male playwrights. I will examine and compare her female libertines to the traditional male libertines in the plays The Rover or The Banish't Cavaliers and The Feign'd Curtizans or A Night's Intrigue. Following this, I will describe how her female fop in Sir Patient Fancy is so much superior to the customary male fop. The succeeding chapter will examine Lady Julia Fulbank from The Luckey Chance or An Alderman's Bargain and demonstrates how Behn was able to move outside of the traditional types of characters expected in these plays to create an entirely new character that has no counterpart in any Restoration play. Behn used the forms and tools available to her to create much more independent and dominant female characters than those expected in the genre. She created a voice for women, and the voice strongly declared that women were as capable, if not more so, than men.

Full text

Abstract:

The subject of Lady Chapels and devotion to Our Lady in medieval churches is vast. This thesis investigates whether liturgical Marian observances required a particular setting or not, and the forms it might take. This is achieved by a careful selection of material that highlights the evolutionary development of the most influential physical manifestations of the cult of the Virgin and some of the more humble ones. Accordingly, attention has been focussed on three main areas that form the principal components of this study, Chapter one investigates the development and gradual inclusion of specifically Marian commemorations in the liturgical calendars that sustained the cult and fed its growth. Chapter two comprises case studies of Lady Chapels and other manifestations of the Marian cult in major churches. Each has been chosen to provide evidence of chronological and geographical diversity in terms of its respective contribution to the holistic picture, and /or because it has attracted little previous notice. In addition, the cumulative examination of the available material has permitted a degree of fresh and original insight. The third chapter focuses on the county of Northamptonshire in order to examine Lady Chapels and the cult of Mary in the context of the parish, in order to establish as accurately as possible the incidences of specifically Marian chapels and the degree to which devotion and the manner of its observance was manifest. The justifications for such a study are firstly, that it was at parish level that most people would have experienced and participated in any such observance, and secondly, that no countywide survey has previously been attempted. The conclusion draws the evidence together and argues that the veneration of Our Lady could take place in a variety of settings that reflected the diversity of Her cult.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores various expressions of urban identity by considering how they were conceived and perpetuated by individuals and groups alike. Using the city of Lincoln as a case study, it focuses primarily upon civic officials and other middling to wealthy inhabitants, analyses their use and appropriation of urban space and explores a series of socio-religious, economic and institutional changes, c.1288-1400. It also details the extent to which urban-crown relations and the demographic crisis of the Black Death were significant factors in the formation of these identities. The first of five thematic chapters deals with the evolving organisation and structure of urban government. It charts the residential patterns of civic officials and argues that propinquity and shared experience were important features in the development of civic identity. It argues that the city's court was central in both a figurative and physical sense to the clearly defined civic identity which emerged within the 'neighbourhood' of the guildhall from the 1330s onwards following legislative and constitutional developments brought about by the restitution of the city's liberties in 1299. Chapter two expands upon the concept of 'neighbourhood' by charting the residential patterns of the main actors recorded in pleas of writ de recto and wills. It argues that urban relationships between individuals were largely built upon the foundations of the parish or neighbourhood, and that business and personal ties remained strictly separate. Following the Black Death, however, new patterns began to emerge for some groups as relationships became increasingly centred upon the court. Whilst on the one hand this presented aspirants to civic office with greater opportunities for personal advancement following the deaths of so many, on the other it effectively resulted in a decline in parochial identity and representation in the city court. Chapter three deals with the growth and proliferation of guilds. It argues that the Black Death was not a significant factor in their foundation, with the majority of fraternal development taking place before 1349. Plague was still important in other ways, however, and guilds not only began to place greater emphasis on participation by members but declining revenues meant that the types of religious practices they were able to undertake changed. Lincoln maintained a strong and centralised fraternal network under the auspices of civic government which saw new guilds emerge in 2 parishes previously without them, with each coordinating their services and rituals according to a clear understanding of urban space. Such collaborative efforts are reflected in the certificates returned to the Royal Chancery in 1389, though they were not uniform, with each adopting their own unique identity based on membership, religious veneration and urban topography. Chapter four details the propagation of lay founded chantries in the city and argues that there emerged a distinct class of chantry founders based upon ownership and access to lands and properties, many of whom sought to use perpetual and temporary chantries to promote their own social status by establishing them in key residential areas. As such, the rental market was a central concern for founders, in particular perpetual chantries, which, following the devastation of the population due to plague, began to suffer as a result. Chapter five argues that the relationship between civic government and the crown was informed by the organisation and payment of the fee farm, which reflected upon the 'civic image' of the city, all of which was carefully managed and controlled by civic officials. It argues that the onerous, even illegal, demands of the crown helped fashion civic policy, especially towards rival jurisdictions, as the city sought out new revenues beyond its legally defined jurisdiction. Finally, it questions the validity of using the fee farm as an indication of urban decline and argues that it is necessary for wider fiscal considerations to be made if a fuller understanding of prosperity or decline is to be gleaned. The outcome of this research is that it challenges the established orthodoxy of Lincoln's decline during the fourteenth century by offering a new narrative of continuing prosperity up to the early fifteenth. Secondly, it reassesses the impact of the Black Death on guild and chantry foundations suggesting that existing historiography on the timing of the flourishing of English urban lay piety should be fundamentally questioned. Thirdly, it suggests that, rather than providing unambiguous evidence of economic decline, towns' negotiations with the crown over their fee farm payments and contributions to royal taxation were actually shaped by the crown's efforts to balance its financial obligations with those of towns to maintain corporate status. Lastly, it emphasises that individual and corporate identities developed not only through procession and ritual, as other works highlight, but through more mundane uses of space. 3

Abstract:

This research investigates the ‘performativity’ of the ‘author function’ through collaging the audio recordings of American poet Sylvia Plath. The ‘author function’ is a term by Michel Foucault to describe how readers attribute certain characteristics that they believe belong to the author and ascribe them to the writing. ‘Performativity’ is a term used by Judith Butler to describe a set of actions that ascribe and predetermine a set of attributes to a subject through his or her gender, age, timeframe, nationality and race. The ‘performativity’ of the ‘author function’ appropriates these characteristics and attributes them to the author. How the determination of an authorial identity translates to the interaction of the practice component of the project, which includes several components of digital collage, is through attributions that readers make in the creation of an author. The practice component of the project consists of the collage of audio and video recordings, the programming of video with Max/MSP/Jitter, ‘performative’ elements and collage poetry on Twitter. The audio component was collaged from two poems entitled ‘Lady Lazarus’ and ‘The Applicant’ that Plath read to the British Council in 1962 to form a new poem entitled Lady/Applicant: The Lazarus. The video component consists of collaging recorded video clips of storefront and street signs in Camden, London, where she is associated with living and committing suicide at. A second video collage entitled Shadows/Shadows/Tomb takes place at a cemetery close to my residence in 2011 and documents symbols of death that reference my own authorial identity. The second set of videos run on a Max/MSP/Jitter patch that display four screens of filmed texts inscribed on tombstones that play four streaming poems through a systematic structure of boxes. The screens are displayed in each box and sourced from separate folders to display and play the film clips. The practice of collage and constraint-based poetry complicates the constitution of being the author when the collagist of Plath’s poetry is a different gender than hers. This research then expands on how identity radically shifts in the text when the subject and the collagist have very different identities. The radical shift in a collage takes place within a predefined and generalized concept of the reader as determined by Stanley Fish, a prominent writer on the subject of ‘reader-response criticism’, who believes that one way a reader could be approached is through his or her relationship with the writing.

Abstract:

Uppsatsen behandlar det postmoderna popfenomenet Lady Gaga och framställningen av henne i dagspress världen över. Lady Gagas spektakulära och inflytelserika kändisskap reproduceras dagligen i media och hon påverkar således vår samtid vilket gör henne till ett intressant forskningsobjekt. Med hjälp av Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys som metod har vi kunnat göra djupgående kvalitativa analyser och undersökt Lady Gagas framställning i dagspress. Vi har tittat på den bild som ges av Lady Gaga genom att göra grundliga språkliga analyser. Materialet som ligger till grund för undersökningen behandlar Lady Gaga i sin köttklänning som hon bar på MTV Video Music Awards i september 2010. Materialet utgörs av tio nyhetsartiklar tagna från tidningars onlinesidor och kommer främst från USA och Englands största dagstidningar. Den teoretiska ramen för uppsatsen utgörs främst av postmoderna teorier av Mikhail Bakhtin och Dominic Strinati då vi ser Lady Gaga som ett postmodernt fenomen. Bakhtins teorier om karnevalens upplösande av gränser och social tillhörighet sammanfattar han i begreppet qarnevalesque som vi applicerar på framställningen av Lady Gaga. Vidare använder vi Bakhtins teori om pajasens roll i det sociala. Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys är förutom en metod även ett teoretiskt förhållningssätt. Vi har använt oss av hans teorier om diskurs och ideologi och hur makt upprätthålls och reproduceras genom dem. Den postmoderna teoretiska ramen i kombination med den valda metoden har på en mikronivå gett oss konkreta resultat och vi har trots vårt begränsade material kunnat utläsa mönster och strukturer som går igen i artiklarna. De diskurser och förhållningssätt som framträder i texterna har vi sammanfattat i en LadyGaga-köttklänningsdiskurs. Diskursen ser vi som en deldiskurs ur en större LadyGaga-diskurs. LadyGagaköttklänningsdiskursen innehåller inslag av ironi, skandal- och sensationsjournalistik och en vi-mothenne- atmosfär. Bilden som ges av Lady Gaga framställer henne som en förvirrad och löjlig pajas. Vidare kan vi se på en makronivå hur den här diskursen konstituerar och konstitueras av den sociala praktiken och den rådande kapitalistiska ideologin.

Abstract:

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur kvinnlighet framställs för att konstruera feministikonen Daenerys Targaryen i TV-serien Game of Thrones. För att uppnå mitt syfte har jag analyserat Daenerys karaktär samt personer hon interagerar med i serien. Jag har använt mig av en semiotisk bildanalys. Min teorianknytning utgörs huvudsakligen av feministisk medieforskning samt feministiska åskådningar. Materialet för min studie utgörs av fem scener från serien. Resultaten visar att framställningen av Daenerys karaktär blir en konstruktion av kvinnan med speciella band med naturen som för en kamp mot en mansdominerad kultur.

Abstract:

Anne, Lady Bacon (c.1S2B-1610) is chiefly remembered as the translator of several important religious texts and as the mother of Francis and Anthony Bacon. This thesis seeks to re-evaluate her fulfilment of her role as a mother, translator and religious patron through an examination of her correspondence and an assessment of her published works. In doing so it demonstrates that Anne was adept at utilising epistolary conventions in order to achieve her politico-religious aims, and was far more capable at negotiating complex webs of power than has hitherto been acknowledged. Over one hundred of her letters survive, most of which are written to Anthony between the 1592 and 1596, and only a few of which have been published. I have transcribed all these extant letters, and through a close analysis of their content and material construction I offer an outline of her epistolary habits, and demonstrate how her letter-writing practice was influenced by the practical elements of sixteenth-century epistolary culture. I describe the factors that influenced Anne's relationship with her sons, and analyse how both parties performed or neglected their duties. The second half of my thesis focuses on Anne's religious patronage. I describe the iconographic significance of the female translator, and examine Anne's contribution to the nascent Protestant literary culture. Faced with a political climate that was becoming increasingly hostile to expressions of nonconformity, I look at how Anne harnessed other means by which to support the puritan cause, and assess the extent to which she directed the religious tenor of her local parishes.

Abstract:

L'aristocrate, lady Hester Lucy Stanhope (12 mars 1776-22 juin 1839), est à ce point associée à sa cavalcade orientale qu'aucune anthologie de l'épistolaire féminin ne lui a consacré une petite place. Epistolière elle l'est pourtant, ainsi que mémorialiste de l'Orient d'avant l'impérialisme forcené des Occidentaux. Après avoir démontré l'invalidité des images juxtaposées sur le portrait arbitraire d'extravagante et de voyageuse proposé par des décennies de biographes successifs, cette étude tente de faire entendre la voix de cette scriptrice méconnue et les qualités de son message. Les thèmes qu'elle aborde et son discours analysé avec les outils littéraires de l'épistolaire essayent de la redéfinir comme auteur et de comprendre pourquoi ses correspondances n'ont pas été éditées à ce jour, lavées de tout ajout biographique superfétatoire
Lady Hester Lucy Stanhope's high profile as an eccentric and as a traveller in the East has subdued her voice and overshadowed her literary skills. This dissertation focuses on her letters unduly bequeathed to the future despite her will to have them destroyed. In the first place, it endeavours to reassess her within the Enlightenment period into which she was born on the 12th of March 1776, without giving inordinate emphasis on her somewhat fragmentary biography. Then, it aims at deciphering her varied messages with a study of her favourite themes so as to trace back influences. And lastly, it intends to analyse her epistolary accomplishments using literary tools so as to redefine her essentially as a letter-writer. In the end, it is assumed that an answer will surface to help understand why she has never been considered as a writer of moment and why her letters have not yet been published or even compiled within an anthology of British women's writings
