Abstract:

The following paper explores the sanctity of the late eighteenth-century High Church Anglican layman, William Stevens (1732—1807), as seen through the eyes of his biographer, Sir James Allan Park (1763–1838). A largely unstudied figure, Stevens, a prosperous London hosier who dedicated most of his adult life to philanthropic, theological and ecclesiastical concerns, arguably represents one of the most important figures within pre-Tractarian High Churchmanship. Park was a close friend of Stevens. A judge of the Common Pleas and a founding member of Stevens’s ‘Club of Nobody’s Friends’, Park shared Stevens’s interest in theology and church-related concerns, even publishing in 1804 a short discourse directed towards young people, on the need for a frequent reception of Holy Communion. In focus here is a facet of Stevens’s life that came to be closely associated with his many achievements as a lay divine and activist within the pre-Tractarian Church of England, namely, his personal sanctity; this was marked by a close connection between faith and works, a strict dedication and devotion to the Church of England’s services and sacraments, and a rejection of’enthusiasm’ in its pejorative sense — all of which he held while maintaining a strong sense of cheerfulness and zeal. A portrait of sanctity that conforms to what is known about pre-Tractarian spirituality, the Memoirs may additionally be viewed as offering a representative understanding of what constituted holiness for this Anglican tradition.

Abstract:

In this paper, I will explore how the work of Wallace Stevens constitutes a phenomenology that resonates strongly with that of William James. I will, first, explore two explicit references to James in the essays of Stevens that constitute a misrepresentation of a rather duplicitous quote from James’ personal letters. Second, I will consider Stevens’ little known lecture-turned-essay, “A Collect of Philosophy,” and the (conventional) poem, “Large Red Man Reading,” as texts that are both about a conception of poetryphilosophy as well as being performances of poetry-philosophy. Finally, I will compare James’ and Stevens’ thought on the imagination, highlighting both form and content and the poetic-philosophical union or blend that makes possible (or virtual) those similarities.

Abstract:

Born at Renfrew on 8 October 1900, Thomas Stevens Stevens (‘TSS’) was the only child of John and Jane Stevens. His father, a draughtsman and engineer, was production director of William Simons and Company Ltd of Renfrew, shipbuilders specializing in dredger construction. Before her marriage in 1898, his mother Jane (née Irving) was a schoolteacher. His upbringing was typically middle-class, and both parents gave every encouragement for their son to study. However, as a delicate asthmatic youngster Tom's early education was given, until the age of eight, at home by his mother—a fact held by many to be responsible for the seeds that brought forth his great love of language and his sensitive and wide-ranging intellect. Thereafter he attended Paisley Grammar School (1909–15) and the Glasgow Academy (1915–17). At Paisley Grammar School his attention was drawn by Joseph Towers, a teacher of English, and at the Glasgow Academy he delighted in the sardonic humour of G.L. Moffatt, who taught mathematics. Physics and chemistry had nevertheless captured his imagination and in the Academy he enjoyed the extensive opportunities that were provided for practical chemistry. It was a love and a boyish enthusiasm that he retained and continued to practise throughout his professional career. In a popular lecture that he gave in the 1950s, ‘The anatomy of the chemist’, Tommy includes the account given by the famous American teacher, Ira Remsen, of the most impressive experiment he had ever performed: ‘nitric acid acts upon copper’. The story ends, ‘… I drew my fingers across my trousers and another fact was discovered. Nitric acid acts on trousers…’. With its smells, fizzes and bangs it is surely a portrait of the young Stevens himself.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Paul Mariani
The fireplace has long stood at the center of the American home, that hearth which requires work and duty and which offers warmth and transformation in return. Fireplaces: The Unmaking of the American Male Domestic Poet takes a look at three major twentieth-century men whose poetry manifests anxieties about staying home to "keep the fire-place burning and the music-box churning and the wheels of the baby's chariot turning," as Wallace Stevens described it (L 246), during a time of great literary change when their peers were widely expatriating to Europe. Fireplaces considers contemporary poet Stephen Dunn as an inheritor of this mottled Modernist lineage of male lyric domesticity in the Northeastern United States, a tradition rattled by the terrorist events of September 11, 2001 after which Dunn leaves his wife and family home to remarry, thus razing the longstanding domestic frame of his poems. Ultimately Fireplaces leaves us with a question for twenty-first century verse--can a male poet still write about home? Or has the local domestic voice been supplanted at last by a placeless strain of lyric

Abstract:

Si c’est la nouvelle américaine minimaliste qui a le plus souvent retenu l’attention, cette thèse s’intéresse à travers les nouvelles de William Gass, Steven Millhauser et David Foster Wallace à une écriture de l’expansion et de l’excès, qui fait pourtant de la réticence – à révéler et à conclure – sa pierre angulaire. Alors que la critique a souvent placé la nouvelle sous le signe de la restriction, comme un objet à l’économie poétique fondamentalement brève, notre corpus se départit nettement de cette vision. Les méandres de la voix, qui disent les introspections tortueuses du sujet au gré de boucles réflexives, les jeux de déclinaisons métaphoriques ainsi que la grammaire du détail, véritable tentative de maîtrise du monde par son atomisation, inscrivent ainsi l’esthétique de ces auteurs aux antipodes de l’écriture blanche. Se tisse alors une trame du ressassement, qui aspire à l’infini textuel et déjoue véritablement le telos. Cette renégociation singulière de la brièveté nourrit par ailleurs un régime philosophique de l’aporie, qui fait de la lecture une véritable expérience heuristique de l’indéterminé. C’est ainsi que les auteurs étudiés jouent constamment de la tendance du texte court à se dérober, tout en se refusant à une esthétique de la concision : l’examen de ce paradoxe apparent permettra dès lors de recontextualiser la notion de brièveté dans le champ de la nouvelle, tout en éclairant l’esthétique de ces trois auteurs. Ce faisant, cette thèse ambitionne de montrer comment l’assouplissement de la brièveté à l’œuvre informe une certaine épistémologie littéraire contemporaine dans les lettres américaines
While the minimalist short story has often been explored by contemporary criticism, this study wishes to focus on the resolutely more expansive and excessive style to be found in the shorter works of William Gass, Steven Millhauser and David Foster Wallace. Nonetheless, their stories guide the reader through an experience of reticence as they withhold the promise of revelation or resolution. Given that theoretical approaches to the short story are wont to emphasize its supposedly inherent concision, the stories of these three writers seem to deliberately transgress this preconception by consistently pushing their structural and metaphorical boundaries. Indeed, the texture of their narrative voices, depicting the tortuous introspections of characters prone to highly reflexive discourses, the constant weaving of poetic leitmotive as well as an omnipresent thirst for detail shape a prose which asserts itself as a firm counterpoint to minimalism. This constant renegotiation of what brevity means also fuels the philosophical tenets of their prose, often characterized by various aporetic patterns and considerations which confront the reader with a heuristic approach to indeterminacy. Gass, Millhauser and Wallace therefore constantly play with the implications of brevity in their stories, which are neither short nor concise, thereby contributing to the definition of a new literary epistemology in the context of contemporary American literature

Full text

Abstract:

NBC?s situation comedy The Office reflects on the nature of workplace management in the 21st century. The show critiques a corporation that values conformity over individuality, while implying that promoting ?creative? employees to upper management is not credible alternative. The Office does this by focusing on Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell), a character whose unique creative working style makes him a great salesman but a poor manager. Michael?s character stands in contrast to Ryan Howard (played by B.J. Novak), who differs from Michael both in his approach to business and his success at it. The Office implies that creativity is a valuable asset for non-managerial workers, but creative management can be problematic. As workplaces continue to evolve, it is imperative to explore how creativity and bureaucracy co-exist. It may be unrealistic to expect creativity to saturate all aspects of professional life, but striking a balance between creativity and organization might be paramount in assuring job satisfaction and productivity for future generations of employees.

Full text

Abstract:

It is a central claim of modern linguistic theory that linguists do not prescribe, but describe language as it is, without pronouncing on correctness or judging one variety better than another. This attempt to exclude evaluation is motivated by a desire to be ' politically correct', which hinders objective analysis of language, and by an ill-advised imitation of the natural sciences, which obstructs the discipline's progress towards becoming a science in its own right. It involves linguists, as users of a valued variety, in self-deception and disingenuousness, distances them from the concerns of the ordinary language user, and betrays a failure to understand the involvement of social values in language, the nature of language itself, and the limits of linguistic science. On a wider scale, linguistics reflects society's devaluing and mechanisation of language. Despite growing concern expressed in the literature, and the incoherence that becomes apparent when linguists attempt to address social problems using a theory that regards language as an autonomous object, newcomers to the discipline continue to be taught that anti-prescriptivism is the natural corollary of a scientific approach to language. This thesis suggests that the way out of these difficulties is to rethink the meaning of ' theory' in linguistics. If we take the reflexivity of language seriously, building on M.A.K. Halliday's notion of 'linguistics as metaphor', we are reminded that a linguistic theory is made of language. Metalanguage must use the experiential and interpersonal meaning-making resources of everyday language. It follows that a linguistic theory cannot escape being evaluative, because evaluation is an inherent part of interpersonal meaning. If we fail to notice our own metalinguistic evaluation, this is because language disguises its evaluative meanings, or perhaps we are just not used to thinking of them as part of the grammar. To achieve clarity about the involvement of value in language, we need to turn our metalanguage back on itself - 'using the grammar to think with about the grammar' . Some ways of doing this are demonstrated here, turning the resources of systemic functional linguistics on linguists' own language. The circularity of this process should be seen not as a drawback but as a salutary reminder that linguistics is an interpretive rather than a discovery process. This knowledge should help us revalue language and make a place for evaluation in linguistic theory, paving the way for a socially responsible and productive linguistics.

Abstract:

Le contexte artistique californien de la fin des années 60 et du début des années 70 constitue un terrain favorable aux investigations d'une nouvelle génération d'artistes, même s'il ne bénéficie pas de réels soutiens logistiques marchands ou institutionnels. L'art conceptuel promu à la même époque par Seth Siegelaub à New York prépare une alternative à l'art minimal. Ce phénomène a déjà son équivalent en Europe. La dématérialisation de l'oeuvre d'art aura des conséquences décisives en Californie, où elle donnera naissance à un art conceptuel dénué de tout dogmatisme marqué par l'influence de fortes personnalités comme Edward Ruscha et John Baldessari. Des artistes originaires de la côté est comme Douglas Huebler, William Wegman, Robert Cumming, du Midwest comme Ruppersberg trouveront de l'autre côté des États-Unis des conditions de travail plus stimulantes. Des Européens comme Bas Jan Ader ou son complice Ger van Elk suivront le même chemin. Leurs oeuvres ne trouveront pas immédiatement sur place une grande visibilité. Mais après une éclipse d'une quinzaine d'années, voici qu'une nouvelle génération d'artistes européens (citons des artistes comme Claude Closky, en France, ou Jonathan Monk, en Angleterre) se penche sur ces grand frères et les place au premier rang de leurs références. À partir d'exemples sélectionnés d'artistes et d'un corpus de textes constitué depuis le début des années 90, que j'ai écrits pour différents catalogues d'expositions, revues, éditeurs, l'objet de cette thèse est de présenter ce dialogue entre les générations et de mettre en évidence certaines convergences malgré la dissemblance des contextes institutionnels et sociétaux.

Abstract:

The southern limit of thePrato della Valle space in the southern part of Padua's historical centre, inItaly, was continuously delimited by the boundary wall of the Santa Maria dellaMisericordia convent until the early twentieth century. Its presence was one ofthe elements that more than a century ago inspired the enlightened proposal byDomenico Cerato, a design professor at the University of Padua who had beeninspired by Andrea Memmo, the Superintendent of the Serenissima Republic ofVenice. The straight and continuous limit was replaced by the discontinuousarchitecture of the Foro Boario entrance, built in 1913 according to a designby Alessandro Peretti; this weakened the overall solution based on anelliptical shape, as did the communicative power of the nearby basilica ofSanta Giustina. The examination carried out dwells on these limits, simulatingthe virtual introduction of architecture with a continuous front to thesouthern edge of the Prato della Valle. One example of this type ofarchitecture is the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art built in Kansas City between1930 and 1933, based on a design by the brothers Thomas and William Wight, andexpanded in 1999 based on a design by Steven Hall. The study generallyconfirmed that the compactness of the building's front newly provides strengthto Cerato's design, which gave a sense of unity to the general emptiness thanksto the certainty of its borders, and gives again the Basilica of Santa Giustinaits monumental size. This paper investigates the composition ofheterogeneous fragments, excerpts from the inventory of collective memory, andthe resulting unpredictable architecture in an urban context.
