Abstract:

L'essence de la volonté de puissance réside dans l'acte de se surmonter soi-même. L'idée de dépassement est fondamentale. La volonté de puissance est principe de vie, elle présuppose la volonté de vivre. Pour Lawrence la volonté est un terme négatif et obsessionnel qu'il utilise pour caractériser la civilisation industrielle moderne. Dans women in love, kangaroo et the plumed serpent, la volonté de puissance lawrencienne puise ses sources chez les philosophes allemands tels Schopenhauer et Nietzsche qui font ressortir l'idée de dépassement de soi. Le surhomme nietzschéen se dépasse lui-même et devient l'aristocrate naturel décrit par Lawrence dans les trois romans choisis. Nous débouchons alors sur le problème des races et de la volonté de puissance avec les théoriciens du racisme : Gobineau, Chamberlain, Rosenberg. Cette prétendue supériorité raciale de l’Europe du nord n'est qu'un mythe car elle implique l'idée de corruption de certains individus. Ce problème racial nous permet d'aborder l'étude du pouvoir et de la société dans women in love, du pouvoir et de la politique dans kangaroo, du pouvoir et de la religion dans the plumed serpent. La volonté de puissance n'est pas seulement l'apanage du genre masculin mais également celui des personnages féminins lawrenciens. Pour compenser cette domination féminine, Lawrence a décrit l'existence d'une brutale domination masculine. Cette suprématie masculine n'est pas sans rapport avec la domination du bourreau sur sa victime. La recherche de la volonté de puissance dans les images lawrenciennes nous aide à mieux comprendre le "dernier homme" qui veut mourir, compare à l'aristocrate naturel, lui-même artiste confronte a sa propre volonté de puissance. L'ambiguïté coexiste chez l'auteur avec une réelle volonté de puissance
The will-to-power lies in the exercise of mastering oneself. The notion of going beyond is fundamental. The will-to-power is the principle of life; it implies the will-to-live. According to Lawrence, the will is a negative and recurrent term used to lay stress on the modern industrial civilization. In women in love, kangaroo and the plumed serpent the will-to-power draws its matter from the German philosophes such as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche who emphasize the notion of going beyond. The "nietzschean superman" goes beyond himself and becomes the natural aristocrat described by Lawrence in the selected three novels. We come to the racial problem and the will-to-power with the theorists of racialism such as Gobineau, Chamberlain, and Rosenberg. This would-be racial superiority of northern Europe is only a myth because it involves the corruption idea among some persons. This racial problem enables us to deal with the studying of power and society in women in love, power and politics in kangaroo, power and religion in the plumed serpent. The will-to-power is not only the prerogative of men, but also the one of lawrentian female characters. In order to compensate for this female domination, Lawrence describes a brutal male domination. This male supremacy is linked with the domination of victimizer over his victim. The search for the will-to-power in the lawrentian images helps us to understand the "last man" who wants to die, compared to the natural aristocrat, an artist faced with his own will-to-power. The ambiguity is present in Lawrence’s works with a real will-to-power

Abstract:

The turn of the 19th and the 20th centuries in Great Britain was marked by the appearance of modernist ideology particularly manifested in literature. The school of Modernism was pioneered by the group of so called ‘imagists’ with David Herbert Lawrence as a prominent leader. Modernism rejected Victorian realities and values and suggested a totally different way of thinking. D. Lawrence established himself as a sex revolutionist and implemented his ideas in his oeuvre. One of his mostly recognized novels Women in Love displays engagement and disengagement. The theme involves an overlook on various ways of engagement presented in the novel, including variety of sexual attractions, polarity and blood based inclinations. Furthermore, the theme presents ways of disengagement described in the book. The liberty is gained through: escaping the past, sexual intimacy, separation and death. The object of the current study is the novel Women in Love by David Herbert Lawrence first published in 1920. The current paper is aimed at revealing engagement and disengagement through characters in the novel Women in Love. After carrying out descriptive analysis of theoretical literature and investigating the object from the aspect of engagement and disengagement, following conclusions were drawn: Lawrence was a modernist writer criticized for amorality but praised for his literary talent. His modernist novel Women in Love reflects the great shift of mind from Victorian era to the twentieth... [to full text]
XIX-ojo ir XX-ojo amžių sandūroje, Didžiojoje Britanijoje, iškilo modernistinis judėjimas, kuris ypatingai reiškėsi literatūroje. Modernizmo mokyklos pradininkai buvo rašytojų būrelis pasivadinęs imagist‘ų vardu. Vienas ryškiausių jų lyderių buvo Davidas Herbertas Lawrence‘as. Modernizmas atsisakė Viktorijinio stiliaus tikroviškumo ir vertybių bei pasiūlė visiškai kitokį mąstymą. D.Lawrence‘as pasiskelbė sekso revoliucionieriumi ir savo mintis išdėstė savo kūryboje. Vienas žymiausių jo romanų Mylinčios moterys atskleidžia potraukius ir išsilaisvinimą. Šio tyrimo tema apima įvairių, romane nupasakojamų potraukių apžvalgą, įskaitant seksualinių polinkių įvairovę, priešingybių bei kraujo ryšių traukas. Taip pat apibūdinama išsilaisvinomo tema romane. Išsilaisvinimo siekiama per atsiribojimą nuo praeities, seksualinį intymumą, išsiskyrimą ir mirtį. Šio tyrimo objektas yra Davido Herberto Lawrence‘o romanas Mylinčios moterys, pirmą kartą išspausdintas 1920 metais. Šiuo tyrimu siekiama atskleisti potraukio ir išsilaisvinimo idėjas perteiktas per veikėjus romane Myličios moterys. Atlikus teorinės medžiagos apibūdinamąją analizę ir ištyrus objektą potraukio ir išsilaisvinimo aspektu, buvo padarytos šios išvados: Lawrence‘as buvo modernistinės srovės atsovas, kritikuotas dėl amoralumo ir garbintas dėl literatūrinio talento. Jo modernistinis romanas Mylinčios moterys atspindi Britanijos visuomenės minties kaitą nuo Viktorijos epochos į XX amžių. Potraukis, romane Myličios moterys... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

Full text

Abstract:

This essay explores how masculinity is portrayed in The Good Soldier (Ford Madox Ford) and Women in Love (D.H Lawrence), and how Victorian and Edwardian masculinity ideals impact the friendships between the characters John Dowell and Edward Ashburnham and Rupert Birkin and Gerald Crich. The novels portray how hegemonic masculinity in Edwardian Britain changed from one type of masculinity, based on physical dominance, to include another, which drew on expert knowledge, capitalism and rationalism. In the texts, these masculinities are buttressed by the comparison to a male Other. In The Good Soldier, Edward Ashburnham stands for the ideals connected to dominance through his roles as landlord and soldier, and he is depicted as the “manlier” character in comparison to John Dowell. The same kind of coupling is found in Women in Love, where Gerald Crich represents both older ideals of dominance and newer ideals of expertise and rationality and Rupert Birkin is the relational opposite. Both Rupert Birkin and John Dowell are categorized as “not man” in the texts in order to emphasize that Edward Ashburnham and Gerald Crich are the “real” men. However, when the “manlier” characters have died both John Dowell and Rupert Birkin perpetuate masculine ideals, either by emulating hegemonic ideals or by redefining them. Furthermore, the Victorian and Edwardian conceptions of masculinity and male friendship inhibit the characters from forming emotionally close friendships. In both texts, emotional intimacy is portrayed as precarious and a more impersonal from of friendship that entails loyalty to a group or cause, camaraderie, is preferred.

Abstract:

L'attitude critique adoptee dans cette these - comparer le manuscrit de the rainbow et les deux manuscrits de women in love aux versions publiees de ces romans, permet d'apprehender le processus et l'orientation de la creation litteraire chez d. H lawrence. Ce travail se presente non comme une etude exhaustive des variantes, mais comme une analyse selective avec regroupement thematique. Centree sur women in love, cette etude integre ce qui, du premier roman, marque une difference de caractere general dans l'inspiration et affecte les personnages qui se retrouvent dans les deux oeuvres. La production de cette fiction - 1913-20 - marque un tournant dans la creation romanesque de d. H lawrence, qui subit des transformations considerables. S'il fait de la quete de la completude, le theme central de the rainbow qui consacre la suprematie du principe feminin, il exalte le principe masculin dans le second roman, en redonnant a l'homme l'initiative dans la rencontre sexuelle. Il met en oeuvre une nouvelle ethique des relations humaines qui se dessine nettement d'une version a l'autre de women in love. L'amour ainsi recycle, l'homme et la femme en retournant aux sources de la vie, accedent au salut et transcendent les distinctions sexuelles
The comparison of the mss of the rainbow and the typescripts of women in love with the published versions enables to apprehend the process of literary creation in d. H lawrence together with its orientation. This work does not consist in an exhaustive study of the variants but in a selective one, the main themes of the second novel being grouped together. Centered on women in love, this thesis integrates some elements of the first novel. The production of this fiction (1913-1920) is a turning point in lawrence's art and vision. In the rainbow, whose main theme is the quest for selthood, the feminine principle is exalted; in women in love, the masculine principle triumphs, man becomes woman's initiator : from the first version of this novel to the ultimate one, a new code of human relationships emerges. Love being thus recycled, man and woman, returning to the sources of life, experience salvation and transcend sexual distinctions

Full text

Abstract:

Central to animal studies is the question of words and how they are used in relation to wordless beings such as non-human animals. This issue is addressed by the writer D.H. Lawrence, and the focus of this thesis is the linguistic vulnerability of humans and non-humans in his novel Women in Love, a subject that will be explored with the help of the philosopher Jacques Derrida’s text The Animal That Therefore I Am. The argument is that Women in Love illustrates the human subjection to and constitution in language, which both enables human thinking and restricts the human ability to think without words. This linguistic vulnerability causes a similar vulnerability in non-human animals in two ways. First, humans tend to imagine others, including non-verbal animals, through words, a medium they exist outside of and therefore cannot be defined through. Second, humans are often unperceptive of non-linguistic means of expression and they therefore do not discern what non-human animals may be trying to communicate to them, which often enables humans to justify abuse against non-humans. In addition, the novel shows how this shared but unequal vulnerability can sometimes be dissolved through the likewise shared but equal physical vulnerability of all animals if a human is able to imagine the experiences of a non-human animal through their shared embodiment rather than through human language. Hence the essay shows the importance of recognizing the limitations of language and of being aware of how the symbolizing effect of words influences the human treatment of its others.

Full text

Abstract:

D. H. Lawrence believed the individual psyche to consist of two parts: the active unconsciousness and the mental consciousness. The active unconsciousness is a sort of life force within the individual, and one that allows the individual a true connection to the world. It is also closely related to the body, and sometimes called “blood-being” or “blood-consciousness.” The mental consciousness could be said to be the “intellect” in the individual psyche, dealing with abstractions and ideas. Lawrence insists that contemporary society’s prioritizing of the functions of the mental consciousness leads individuals to allow it too much influence over their life. This ultimately leads them to become dominating, willful and deadly. Lawrence’s 1920 novel Women in Love is an allegory of what Lawrence saw as the detrimental effect on individuals by the over-emphasis on rationality in contemporary society, and also of the struggle to find a way back to a more natural way of existing in the world. This essay argues that the processes of, and struggle between, the mental consciousness and active unconsciousness, are illustrated in images of water. Surface and merging imagery connotes denial of or loss of contact with the active unconsciousness, eventually leading the individual to seek death. Flood and submersion imagery connotes a possibility to find a way back to a life lived in and through the active unconsciousness. Fountain imagery and images of water connoting growth and openness connote the strong, creative life force inherent in the active unconsciousness. However, some water imagery in the novel also contradicts any notion of a stable balance—Lawrence universe is one where death and destruction is a necessary component of life and creativity.

Abstract:

Historically non-heterosexual individuals have faced prejudice and discrimination in daily life. Non-heterosexuals experience oppression and discrimination that affect personal development on all levels. An increased awareness of sexual identity development could create more inclusive sexual identity models, better understanding for counselor educators, and better training for counselors on issues of sexual identity. The purpose of this study was to explore the life experiences that influence sexual identity in women who love women. This study required that subjects attach meaning to sexual identity formation. Qualitative research methodologies were used in the study. Participants were selected for this study in a thoughtful and purposeful manner and within specified parameters. Data were collected through two face-to-face interviews with the participants; member checking and peer debriefing offered consistency through the use of a semi-structured interview guide. Phenomenological approach and constant comparison was used for data analysis. From the data collected, four themes emerged: I was Just Different, Information Seeking, View of Self as a Woman Within the Context of Culture, and Contextual Relationships. Findings of this study did not support a stage model of sexual identity development. Instead, this study supported the view that sexual identity is fluid and strongly related to relationships with peer groups. All participants reported that sexual identity formation was a painful process.

Karekla, Melina. "Women look into love : reimaginings of heterosexual love in contemporary women's fiction." Thesis, Durham University, 2013. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/7742/.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis explores how contemporary women writers write about heterosexual love, considering not only the ways it has been implicated in patriarchal models and traditional romance plots, but also its portrayal in light of developments in feminism and fiction in the 1990s and 2000s. The thesis examines Carol Shields’s The Republic of Love (1992), Toni Morrison’s Jazz (1992), Louise Erdrich’s Love Medicine (1993), Nadine Gordimer’s The Pickup (2001), Ann Patchett’s Bel Canto (2001), Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin (2000) and Doris Lessing’s Love, Again (1995). In this study it emerges that as well as illustrating continuities, the scope of the treatment of love is opened up further in recent fiction as aspects like age or social, economic and historical factors are centralised and considered in interesting ways. The thesis also identifies some positive approaches to heterosexual love, as in, for example, the emphasis on men’s capacity for emotions. However, this is not always the case, as a writer like Lessing further develops a vision of love without providing an affirmative view. Thus, the contemporary women writers’ work can be said to contribute to understandings of heterosexual love on many different levels, even as feminist criticisms of repressive, patriarchal forms of romantic relationship continue to remain relevant.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the obstacles and motivators Evelyn Thompson Lawrence addressed in her thirst for lifelong learning and desire to share that learning through her life stories. The researcher also sought to understand how everyday events played a role in the outcome of Lawrence's life. More than just observing major events, the researcher considered ways the smallest moments made an impact on Lawrence's continued desire for learning. This study evolved through Lawrence's accounts. By allowing this African American woman, who was a lifelong Appalachian, to explore her past and present, a wide array of experiences emerged that would provide a more holistic view of a lifelong learner. The interviews with Lawrence were both video- and audio-taped to ensure proper acquirement of Lawrence's life stories told in narrative form. In addition to the interviews, Lawrence provided numerous primary documents such as awards, photographs, news clippings, and books to add a deeper dimension to the portraiture. To verify the information Lawrence provided, three subjects who had connections with Lawrence in specific areas of her life were interviewed. The interviews from this qualitative research with Lawrence and the secondary subjects were transcribed, coded, and considered for emergent themes. Three distinct areas appeared as the portrait of Lawrence's life was painted through her life stories: her connections to her family, her profession and academics, and her community. Through this research the researcher recognized that history was a factor in motivating Lawrence to become a lifelong learner, and there was a connection between research results on the characteristics of lifelong learners and the characteristics exhibited by Lawrence. Her desire to acquire knowledge, both formal and informal, continues to this day. Future studies might include provisions for the needs of the lifelong learner and the importance of looking at the individual's life in its entirety as a means for determining how best to nurture a love of learning as an adult. Throughout this research it became apparent that the adult could find meaning from the past and motivation for the future through life stories.

Full text

Abstract:

The love plot is one of the most widely consumed genres of fiction for women. Romance often dictates a woman's identity and her "story" or narrative, leaving little room for other avenues of self-development. However, when romance fails, even in the realm of fiction, women are left with shame. Shame might suggest a catastrophic aftereffect of the failure of women's initial investment of the love plot; however, I argue that shame functions in place of the love plot and helps to provide a critique of the oppressive and patriarchal nature of conventional romance. Using affect theory, I look at both Mrs. Henry Wood's East Lynne and Jean Rhys's Wide Sargasso Sea as they rewrite the love plot typified by Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre.

Full text

Abstract:

Critics continue to debate Lawrence's attitude toward women: Some say Lawrence is a misogynist, some say he is an egalitarian, and others say he is ambivalent toward women. If Lawrence's works are divided into two chronological periods, before and after 1918, these differences of opinions begin to dissolve. Lawrence is fair in his treatment of women in the earlier works; however, in his later works Lawrence restricts women to what he calls the sensual realm, the realm of feelings and emotions. In addition, Lawrence denounces all women who assert individuality and self-responsibility. In the later works, Lawrence's ideology restricts the role of women and presents male supremacy as the natural and necessary order for human existence.

Full text

Abstract:

The art of courtly love is difficult to pinpoint because there are many facets that extend into different areas. In the Pre-Raphaelite and Medieval periods, love was more formulated with rules, moral standards, and codes. Courtly love is often seen as the "love" practiced by kings, queens, and other nobility because of the mystique that surrounds legendary stories like Lancelot and Guinevere. Courtly love encompasses spiritual awakening, lust, passion, adultery, and religion; therefore, the art of courtly love intrigues as well as interests its readers. Many critics have studied the effects of courtly love in literature and have come to the conclusion that courtly love was not only linked to Christianity, but that courtly love was also linked with other religions and philosophies. The link between Christianity and courtly love is the largest debate between critics and scholars within this particular genre. Women have also played a part in understanding courtly love because of their complex role within the storylines of the literary poems. Women were often seen as the stronger of the sexes; however, they were viewed as objects instead of people. In courtly love, women were often the downfall of men because of their idle ways and abilities to deceive men. Women are important for the understanding of the rules and courtships between men and women during this period. Tennyson and Morris had the most influential courtly love literature during the Pre-Raphaelite period. Their contributions to the tale of the Arthurian Legend are inherent to the understanding of this genre of courtly love. With Idylls of the King, Tennyson brought a resurgence of interest in the Arthurian Legend. His Idylls are various stories about the trials and tribulations of Arthur's life and others in Camelot. Morris followed the brilliance of Tennyson's Idylls with The Defense of Guinevere, which is a poem solely based on Guinevere's perspective and point of view. These two authors sought to create a myth around the Arthurian Legend with great vigor and their own poetic style. There has been a plethora of discussion on the topic of courtly love; however, there has not a been a common agreement on its origins. This study shows how courtly love relates to literature during the Pre-Raphaelite period, most especially in the Arthurian Legend.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis compares Anna Karenina severally with Daniel Deronda and Women in Love, and reflects on comparison as a critical methodology. The contexts of comparison are the similarities of these novels and of their authors, and Lawrence’s responses to Tolstoi. Each of the two pairs of novel is compared on a subject of maximal relevance to that pair. Daniel Deronda and Anna Karenina are compared as tragic-comedies, of which the component genres are separated by an ethical lacuna. This lacuna is interpreted in terms of the texts’ scapegoating of their heroines. Gwendolen is the victim of the ontological and generic disjunction of her novel’s domains. Anna is attributed greater freedom of action, but her decline has weaker narrative motivation. Daniel’s comedy, unlike Levin’s, attempts to ethically contextualise the heroine’s equivocal tragedy, and in its failure wholly to do so contributes towards her scapegoating. In the second comparison, Michael Bell’s thesis concerning the ‘Dostoevskean’ rather than ‘Tolstoyan’ nature of Women in Love is tested against the ontological and normative nature of the descriptions and enactments of consciousness and unconsciousness in it and Anna Karenina. Bell’s thesis is confirmed, although it is qualified by certain similarities in the two novels’ distrust of the intellect, and conscious affirmation of states of lowered consciousness. Daniel Deronda and Women in Love are briefly considered in relation to consciousness and tragi-comedy respectively: Daniel Deronda has weaker impulses towards both high consciousness and unconsciousness than both other novels. Gerald suffers both a sex tragedy with Gudrun, and is also scapegoated for refusing intimacy with Birkin. Comparative methodology is found to discourage thick description and to encourage exaggeration, but also potentially to undermine invalid essentialism, extend awareness of similarities, and reveal structures underlying much literary critical and practical, thought.

Abstract:

The population of older adults living longer and healthier lives is increasing. As age increases, the likelihood of single status increases. Without someone to offer peer intimacy, loneliness becomes a factor for decreased well-being. Research is needed to gain insight into later life romantic love and commitment to offer support for those seeking companionship, love, and intimacy to live more generative and robust later lives, ameliorating the physical and emotional effects of loneliness. Women are more likely to be alone in late life and research is needed to explore experiences with the phenomenon of love in later life from their perspective. This study employed a qualitative transcendental phenomenological methodology, gathering data from interviews, observations, and documentation in order to provide an interpretive description of all the women in the study with the shared experience of love and commitment to a new partner in later life. The study offers insight to families, caregivers, community service providers, and medical professionals supporting the partnership needs of older women. The results also provide a voice for late life women, an underrepresented population in research and literature, who choose love and commitment in later life.

Full text

Abstract:

The aim of this thesis is to apply feminist perspectives to explore the ‘boys’ love’ (BL) culture in China. I argue that women in China are challenging traditional patriarchy through this new culture. Drawing upon interviews with 30 young Chinese women, I explore the attitudes of an ambitious new generation who are questioning gender norms in three areas: sex, love and relationships, and self-identity. With regard to sex, these women are challenging their negative sexual status. Traditionally, women are considered innocent and passive objects that are defined, gazed at, and consumed. However, my participants express their own sexual aesthetic and sexual desires, and they understand sex positively through BL. With regard to love and relationships, young women are questioning women’s roles as expected by mainstream society. Unlike men, who are considered to be independent, women are traditionally considered to be dependants that have no choice but to invest their whole selves in love and relationships, and to become ‘good wives’ and ‘good mothers’. However, my data shows that young women now have different demands for love and happiness, and as a result they are questioning traditional family forms, the heterosexual norm, and patriarchy. With regard to self-identity, I explore how the young women question gender norms. The definition of femininity has restricted women’s achievements and their opportunities to access equal resources in past and current Chinese society. My participants demonstrate a rethinking of gender norms through the medium of BL. Ultimately, the contribution of this thesis is to explore a new awareness arising in a newly formed women’s social practice, one that questions the gender binary, the heterosexual norm, and the gender inequality that arises from them, in an era of social change in China.

Full text

Abstract:

Within a framework of intersectionality, this thesis explores the multidimensional experiences women of color have in abusive same-sex relationships. It also explores the tremendous influence those experiences have on their lives. Although intimate partner violence (IPV) in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) community has become increasingly visible within the past two decades, media and scholarship continue to focus on heterosexual incidents of domestic violence. Relying on the powerful narratives of four women of color who are IPV survivors, I examine social constructs such as familial violence, homophobia, racism, and poverty, that contribute to lesbian intimate partner violence. I also present reasons for and consequences of staying in an abusive relationship. The findings of this study indicate that intimate partner violence is a symptom of oppression for socially marginalized lesbians of color and not a source.

Abstract:

In der Literaturkritik gilt D.H. Lawrence als ebenso bedeutender wie streitbarer Autor von Romanklassikern wie Lady Chatterley's Lover, Women in Love oder The Rainbow. Durch das Aufkommen der gender studies existiert zudem eine nur schwer überschaubare Anzahl von Studien, die der Rolle der Sexualität sowie der Geschlechterkonzeption im Romanwerk von Lawrence gewidmet sind. Doch so klar die Literaturkritik diese Problematik erfaßt hat, so klar hat sie im Vergleich dazu - wenn auch mit Ausnahmen - Lawrences nicht nur zahlenmäßig großes lyrisches Werk ignoriert. Diese relative Vernachlässigung durch die Forschung ist um so erstaunlicher, als sich in Lawrences Lyrik viele Grundthesen, die er in seinen Romanen auf Hunderten von Seiten durchspielt, oft in extrem konziser Form finden. Wichtige Teile seiner 'Geschlechter-Philosophie' werden durch die Lyrik sogar antizipiert.

Full text

Abstract:

In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries women troubadours in southern France called trobairitz participated in dialogue or debate poems called tensons with male troubadours. Of the nine existing tensons that include a male and a female voice, we will only analyze five tensons with the known identities of both the trobairitz and the troubadour that debate the subject of love, and we will include the following trobairitz tensons in this paper: Alamanda, Isabella, Garsenda, Lombarda and Maria de Ventadorn. We will discuss the thematic elements these five tensons share. Scholars such as Pierre Bec, Peter Dronke and Katharina Wilson note trobairitz' themes vary from those of traditional male troubadours. Troubadours concentrate on the outward or social manifestations of the courtly love game and values, yet trobairitz focus on the intimate, private pleasures of love by deviating from generally accepted courtly love conventions and social behaviors. Since the subject of love is debated in these five tensons, the personal character in these tensons alludes to the trobairitz's life—circumstances and incidents. A trobairitz's personal character is also illustrated in the tenson by her willingness to show personal qualities about a love relationship and as Deborah Perkal-Balinsky calls it "a willingness to deviate from accepted social behavior or perhaps the rules of the game, in an effort to attain the intimate pleasures in a love relationship" (46). The tensons discussed provide valuable information about trobairitz and courtly love—the publicly displayed values of honor, valor and mercy. At times, trobairitz solicit love by revolting against the courtly love rules to win a man. In courtly love tensons, trobairitz use the literary style, courtly vocabulary and courtly values to express both their support and criticism for the system. Through the use of courtly vocabulary, trobairitz conform to the styles developed by troubadours, yet when trobairitz write as female lovers and poets, they also discard the conventions set forth by troubadours, since they are not male lovers and poets. In each tenson the literary mode is man-in-society, and the theme centers around love"”either the praise of it or the blame from lack thereof or both (Hagen 27). In each of the five tensons, there are three common threads in the trobairitz love relationships: (1) in each tenson we see the personal character of the trobairitz; (2) we see them deviate from the accepted social behavior or the rules of the game; and (3) we witness that the trobairitz are usually unhappy with their love relationships. We will examine each tenson individually regarding these three aspects.

Full text

Abstract:

This qualitative case study examines conceptualizations of post-apartheid democratic citizenship. Drawing on in-depth, semi-structured interviews conducted in July 2009 with twelve voting age women of colour in the small town of Cradock in the Eastern Cape, it demonstrates how traditional theorizations are inadequate for understanding the substantive citizenship some small town women desire, live, and demand. Though the research design began with a traditional definition that citizenship rests on the knowledge of and ability to engage with claiming rights findings demonstrated the failings, and challenged the sufficiency, of this approach. Listening closely to the voices of the women interviewed revealed the importance of emotion. Further, the ways that emotion emerged from these interviews illuminate an under-examined aspect of substantive citizenship: its affective dimensions. The affective issues that emerged were those of perceived elite indifference to the people, conflicted feelings about the post-apartheid state, racialized and gendered hatred and hate speech, and the women's hopes for an ideal public life based on love and respect. Working from a race-conscious, post-colonial, feminist lens, I argue that while a rights-based approach to citizenship is necessary, it cannot fully encompass the complexities of post-apartheid substantive citizenship, especially for small-town women of colour. Considering affect leads to a more meaningful theory of citizenship, one that must rest on a loving, political ethic.

Full text

Abstract:

Courtly love lyrics, like other courtly genres, are dominated by male-voiced texts that privilege male perspectives. In conventional courtly love lyrics, women are silenced and objectified by the male speaker. Still, a handful of women-voiced lyrics--"women's songs"--exist in the courtly love lyrical tradition. This thesis studies women's songs in Middle English and their role in the androcentric courtly love tradition.
In the first chapter, I discuss critical perspectives on conventional courtly representations of women. In the second chapter, I locate Middle English women's songs in literary contexts other than courtly love: the Middle English lyrical tradition, the cross-cultural phenomenon of medieval women's songs, and the manuscript contexts of Middle English women's songs. In Chapter Three, I discuss the individual songs themselves and examine the range of perspectives found in woman-voiced lyrics.
My discussion of Middle English women's songs includes texts not previously admitted to the genre. This expanded collection of women's songs creates an alternative courtly discourse privileging female perspectives. Middle English women's songs create a space for women's voices in courtly love.

Abstract:

This work explores the complex relationships between women, food, and power. Engaging the literature of feminist food studies allowed me to record the narratives and examine the experiences of women living in the United States. I take a close look at how women solidify and strengthen their social relationships to family and community through the use of food, or compromise and weaken these relationships through the denial or refusal of food, in the form of cooking or eating. I also consider both local and global contexts for understanding food, in terms of consumption and chores. Finally, I demonstrate how imagery of food allows women to participate in processes of commodification and fetishism.

Abstract:

The increased use of online dating sites has further encouraged corporations’ attempts to capitalize on these mate-seeking trends. Match.com, eHarmony, and OkCupid are primary competitors in a growing market of individuals seeking out potential romantic partners. They offer several mainstream dating options as well as niche-dating sites. Similar to society at large where dating still occurs offline, scholars have revealed that racial hierarchies exist within various online platforms. As such, the roles of gender and ethnicity in online dating environments merit study. Specifically, the experiences of Black women who use Internet dating sites, a virtually unexplored demographic, form the basis of this dissertation. This study consisted of 16 interviews and a demographic survey, which were used to examine Black women’s online dating experiences from their perspectives to determine whether or not online dating sites are productive, love-seeking spaces. Data analysis was conducted utilizing a Google Form survey to collect demographic data and NVivo 11 qualitative software to help generate themes that guided analysis. Themes that emerged included: negative and positive perceptions from men; physical and non-physical attributes participants possessed that men found attractive; whether or not men’s perceptions impacted interview participants’ success or failure in online dating, and whether or not participants viewed their online dating experiences to be in line with those of other Black women. Participants discussed how perceptions from men online influenced their racially-gendered online dating experience.

Esta pesquisa constitui uma análise do ideal de amor romântico como um dos possíveis determinantes à denominada feminização do vírus do hiv-aids, tomando como ponto de partida a experiência em pesquisa com mulheres atendidas no Hospital Universitário João de Barros Barreto. De acordo com dados do Ministério da Saúde (Boletim UNAIDS 2013) a mortalidade entre mulheres infectadas já supera a de homens no Brasil, e em especial no campo da presente pesquisa – Estado do Pará. Nesta realidade, por meio da prática em pesquisa como psicólogo, inúmeros questionamentos foram delineados: O que essas mulheres escutadas nas enfermarias do hospital nos dizem acerca de sua exposição a essa enfermidade? Suas demandas poderiam nos dar indícios acerca da feminização da síndrome? Diante destas questões, tem-se como problema de pesquisa a possível relação entre o ideal de amor romântico imaginariamente tomado como completude e proteção e o fenômeno da crescente exposição de mulheres ao vírus do hiv-aids em Belém-PA. Para tanto, utilizou-se como método a pesquisa documental em relatos de caso estudados no Laboratório de Psicanálise e Psicopatologia Fundamental (LPPF/UFPA) entre os anos de 2009 a 2013, que resultaram em ampla produção científica. Com esta abordagem, possibilita-se uma análise tanto cultural quanto individual acerca das construções referidas ao amor romântico como ideal. Da revisão crítica das construções culturais acerca do amor, com enfoque no romance/mito de Tristão e Isolda, na metafísica amorosa d O Banquete de Platão e na pedagogia de Rousseau em Emílio, notou-se a existência de diversos elementos culturais que funcionam como aporte necessário à construção de uma mitológica individual presente no discurso das mulheres escutadas no referido espaço de pesquisa. Além disso, uma revisão crítica do amor romântico como ideal em psicanálise se mostrou necessária, pois nele se desenha a ilusão de uma satisfação narcísica pela via da completude, na qual o sujeito pode se colocar em uma postura vulnerável justamente por sentir que o amor o salvaguardaria de todos os males da existência. Por fim, verificamos, na releitura dos casos estudados, que este discurso se faz presente, pois em inúmeros casos, elas se acreditavam protegidas pelo amor, tanto no caso de um súbito apaixonamento, quanto em relações estáveis com seus parceiros sexuais. Como resultado desta pesquisa, e a partir do que consta nos relatos de caso clínico dessas mulheres, pode-se considerar que o ideal de amor romântico constitui um fator decisivo, que pode influenciar no crescente número de mulheres vivendo com aids.
This research analyzes the ideal of romantic love as one of the possible determinants of the so-called feminization of the HIV-AIDS virus, taking as a starting point a research experience involving female patients of the University Hospital João de Barros Barreto. According to data by the Ministry of Health (UNAIDS Bulletin 2013), mortality among infected women already exceeds that of men in Brazil, especially in the area covered by the present research, the state of Pará. Given that situation, a wide range of questions were outlined based on our research practice as a psychologist, such as What do these women, who were interviewed at the hospital wards, tell us about their exposure to that disease? and Can their needs provide us with clues about the feminization of the syndrome? Given these questions, the research subject is about the possible relationship between the ideal of romantic love imagined as completeness and protection and the phenomenon of increased exposure of women to the HIV-AIDS virus in Belém-PA. Regarding the method, a documental research involving case reports was carried out at the Laboratory of Psychoanalysis and Fundamental Psychopathology (LPPF/UFPA) from 2009 to 2013, which resulted in a large scientific production. This approach allowed us to perform both a cultural and an individual analysis of the constructions that refer to romantic love as an ideal. The critical review of cultural constructions about love, taking into account especially the novel/myth of Tristan and Iseult, the metaphysics of love in Plato s Symposium, and Rousseau s pedagogy in his Émile, allowed us to survey various cultural elements that operate as required contributions to the construction of an individual mythology present in the discourse of the interviewed women. In addition, a critical revision of romantic love as an ideal in psychoanalysis turned out to be necessary as well, since it encourages the illusion of narcissistic satisfaction by means of completeness, allowing the subject to put himself in a vulnerable position precisely because he feels that love would protect him from all the evils of existence. Eventually, as we reread the cases studied, we concluded that this discourse is actually present, since in many cases, those women actually believe they are protected by love, both in the event of a sudden passion and of stable relationships with their sexual partners. As a result of this research, and based on what the clinical case reports of these women contain, the ideal of romantic love may be considered a decisive factor that could influence the growing number of women living with AIDS.
Cette recherche analyse l idéal de l amour romantique comme l un des déterminants de la soi-disant féminisation du virus VIH-SIDA, ayant comme point de départ une recherche auprès de femmes traitées à l hôpital universitaire João de Barros Barreto. Selon le Ministère de la Santé (Bulletin UNAIDS 2013), la mortalité des femmes infectées dépasse déjà celui des hommes au Brésil, en particulier dans la région de cette recherche, l état du Pará. Cette situation, ainsi que notre pratique en tant que psychologue, suscite de nombreuses questions: Qu est-ce que les femmes interviewées dans les différentes cliniques de l hôpital nous disent au sujet de leur exposition à cette maladie? et Leurs besoins peuvent-ils nous fournir des indices au sujet de la féminisation du syndrome? Face à ces questions, le problème de recherche porte donc sur le rapport possible entre l idéal de l amour romantique imaginairement pris pour la complétude et la protection et le phénomène l exposition croissante des femmes au virus du VIH-SIDA à Belém-PA. En tant que méthode, une recherche documentaire de rapports de cas a été menée au Laboratoire de Psychanalyse et de Psychopathologie Fondamentale (LPPF/UFPA) entre 2009 et 2013, dont le résultat a été une vaste production scientifique. Cette approche nous a permis de réaliser une analyse à la fois culturelle et individuelle des constructions qui se référent à l amour romantique comme idéal. L examen critique des constructions culturelles de l amour, prenant en compte particulièrement le roman/mythe de Tristan et Iseult, la métaphysique de l amour du Banquet de Platon et la pédagogie de Rousseau dans Émile, nous a permis de noter l existence de divers éléments culturels qui agissent comme contribution nécessaire pour construire une mythologie individuelle que l on retrouve dans le discours des femmes interviewées. En outre, un examen critique de l amour romantique comme idéal dans la psychanalyse s est avéré nécessaire, car il contient l illusion d une satisfaction narcissique par la voie de la complétude, dans laquelle le sujet peut se placer dans une position vulnérable justement parce qu il sent que l amour le protégerait de tous les maux de l existence. En somme, la relecture des cas étudiés montre que ce discours est effectivement présent, car dans de nombreux cas, ces femmes se croyaient protégées par l amour, non seulement dans le cas d un coup de foudre, mais aussi des relations stables qu elles entretiennent avec leurs partenaires sexuels. Les résultats de cette recherche, ainsi que le contenu des rapports de cas cliniques de ces femmes nous mènent à conclure que l amour romantique idéal est un facteur décisif qui pourrait effectivement influencer le nombre croissant de femmes qui vivent avec le SIDA.
