Full textAbstract:
This thesis critically reviews medical journal literature on the physician-patient interview. The review focuses on literature which is written by and for physicians, in Canadian and American, English language medical journals. Articles, essays and letters to the editor are examined as a cultural exchange amongst physicians that both shapes and is shaped by the values of the medical profession. Chapter One presents literature concerning physician-patient communication in general. The following Chapters Two, Three and Four ("The Physician as Medical Interpreter," "Physician and Patient: in Conflict and in Silence," and "The Patient as Narrator,") focus on themes in the medical journal literature written by physicians on the clinical interview. These Chapters examine the values, explicit and implicit, of this literature. The values are examined for possible epistemological origins in traditional medical ethics, philosophical bioethics, contemporary social movements for the dignity and rights of the individual, and other sources. Thematic shifts in these values over the past twenty years, and the sources of these shifts, are also examined. Finally, the Conclusion evaluates the significance of this literature for the development of a medical morality.

Full textAbstract:
The earliest, but scarce, evidence of cuneiform signs being used syllabically to write Akkadian words and proper nouns is at Fara and Tell Abu Salabikh between 2600 BC and 2500 BC. Between around 2350 BC and 1800 BC, there is an increase in the development and use of signs with syllabic values across Mesopotamia and Syria, but these syllabic values (together called 'syllabaries') are still very local in nature with significant and observable differences in sign usage and values between sites. Starting around 1800 BC, reforms to the system begin to be enforced that standardise these signs and their values, which essentially ends any major variability in the script within specific periods. This provides us with a period of almost 600 years, spanning the second half of the third millennium and early second millennium BC, during which there is a wealth of textual data documenting the first full adaptation of the cuneiform script to syllabically write Semitic words and proper nouns. This thesis investigates the attestations and usage of syllabic values to write Semitic lexemes in the cuneiform text corpora from Ebla, Mari, Nabada, Tuttul, Adab, Eshnunna, Kish, Tutub, Assur, and Gasur - with a particular focus on the Syrian sites - during the second half of the third millennium BC and early second millennium BC in order to answer the following two research questions: 1. Did each third millennium site in Mesopotamia and Syria have its own unique syllabary? 2. What were the primary factors that influenced the differences between the syllabaries? This research uses a series of three interdependent techniques to determine and understand the use and distribution of syllabic values within the cuneiform writing system during the second half of the third millennium BC and early second millennium BC. The results suggest that during this period cuneiform syllabaries are variable, and that variation can further inform us about the regional, temporal, and dialectical contexts in which they existed. The addition of this research to the wider literature on the early adaptation of cuneiform will enhance the field's understanding of how cuneiform syllabic values began to develop and emerge across the ancient Near East, and demonstrates how scientific and computational methods of analysis can be applied to research questions in humanities subjects.

Melo, Mateus Cavalcanti. "Borges e história em dois atos : sobre fazer/escrever história e personagens tradicionais argentinos." reponame:Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da UFRGS, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/10183/134129.
Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho dissertativo tem por principal objetivo identificar e rastrear as percepções que o escritor argentino, Jorge Luís Borges, possuía sobre a história (mesmo não sendo historiador de formação) e como essas se manifestam através de seus contos literários. Para tanto, são analisados uma série de contos de sua autoria que priorizem essa investigação, produzidos em diversos e distintos momentos de sua vida. O texto dividese em duas partes (atos): no primeiro nosso enfoque será como Borges percebe o ato de se fazer/escrever história, ou seja, como se dá a produção, publicação, manifestação e aceitação de um texto histórico, e para isso cotejaremos três contos, La loteria en Babilonia, Tema del traidor y del heroe e Guayaquil. No segundo capítulo (ato) traremos uma vertente da escrita de Borges mais ligada a temáticas argentinas, suas narrativas criollas, e como que através dessas o autor constantemente reflete sobre a história da Argentina e de alguns de seus mais tradicionais personagens, os gauchos e compadritos, representando os valores, costumes e tradições dessas emblemáticas figuras. Nesse segundo momento analisaremos os contos Hombre de la esquina rosada, Historia de Rosendo Juárez, El muerto, El fin e El sur. Em ambos os capítulos analisaremos como as percepções e representações de Borges sobre a história, seja em seu caráter mais “filosófico”, seja em seu caráter mais criollista (temáticas ligadas à Argentina) mudam com o passar da vida do autor. Se em um dado momento a história lhe parece “salvadora”, capaz de “gerar mudanças”, em outro lhe parecerá banal e tratada com ironia; já no segundo ato perceberemos como sua percepção sobre coragem como valor representativo de uma argentinidade também irá cambiar, assim como, quando pretende representar a Argentina ou Buenos Aires, seus pensamentos comumente estão ligados muito mais ao passado do que ao presente, gerando um sentimento de nostalgia por parte do autor. O principal objetivo é verificar, como a história, em último caso, será aqui vista como uma das temáticas ou “símbolos” que mais povoou a carreira literária de Jorge Luís Borges.<br>This research work is primarily focused on identifying and tracking the perceptions that the Argentine writer, Jorge Luis Borges, had on the History (even though he had no historian formation) and how these perceptions are manifested through his literary short stories. Therefore, we selected and analyzed a number of short stories of his own that conduct this research. Those were produced in various and different moments of his life. The dissertation is divided in two parts (acts): on the first one our focus will be on how Borges realizes the act of making / writing history, in other words, we will explore how the production, publication, demonstration and acceptance of a historical text happens, and, for that, we will analyze three short stories, La loteria en Babilonia, Tema del traitor y del héroe and Guayaquil. On the second chapter (act) we will bring Borges’ writings more linked to Argentine themes, their criollas narratives, and how through these narratives the author constantly reflects about the history of Argentina and some of its traditional characters, both the gauchos and compadritos representing their values, customs and traditions of these emblematic figures. On this second moment we will analyze the Hombre de la esquina Rosada, Historia de Rosendo Juárez, El muerto, El fin and El sur. In both chapters we will analyze the perceptions and representations of Borges on the matters of history - on his most "philosophical" texts, or in his most criollista texts (those related to Argentina) – and its changes over the author's life. If at a certain moment the history seems to him as a "savior", something able to "create changes", in another moments it will seem banal and treated with irony; on the second act we realize how his perception of courage as a representative value of an Argentinity will also change, as well as when he wants to represent Argentina or Buenos Aires, his thoughts are usually linked more to the past than to the present, creating a sense of nostalgia felling in the author. Thus, our main objective is to verify how History, ultimately, is seen as a thematic or "symbols" that most appears in the literary work of Jorge Luis Borges.

O'Keeffe, Thomas. "Development writ small." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2018. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3850/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with using micro-level data to examine important features of the process of development which occur on a much larger scale. Using a uniquely long and detailed dataset for a single village in India, allied with data from other sources, we explore what development at the level of a village can tell us about development at the level of a state or country. In the first chapter we introduce the village setting of this thesis - Palanpur, describe the data, and document the broad features of development experienced by the village over the course of 60 years. We focus on changes in employment, education, migration within the village - and relate these to the development of India or other areas where appropriate. The overriding picture is one of a village which has been touched by the outside world. The Green revolution initiated sustained growth in agricultural productivity. Large numbers have moved out of subsistence agriculture into non-agricultural pursuits, many of these outside the village. There have been substantial increases in education, migration, and income levels - similar in magnitude to other areas of India. The second chapter investigates how structural transformation, the reallocation of economic activity from agriculture to manufacturing and services, is experienced for economic entities smaller than countries. Despite a vast macroeconomic literature concerning structural transformation for countries along their development path there is little evidence on the nature of structural transformation at a more microeconomic level. Firstly, we document the stylised facts of structural transformation from the empirical macroeconomic literature. Secondly, we show that these stylised facts are consistent with India's development experience over more than 100 years. We then proceed to document how these empirical facts map onto progressively smaller geographic areas within India. Finally we demonstrate that these features of structural transformation hold true even at the level of a single village in India. The pattern of sectoral reallocation in terms of both income and employment shares is strikingly similar and consistent with the extant stylised facts at all levels. This result has important implications for the way we should think about the complementarity of agricultural and non-agricultural development. The third chapter explores the role of employment networks within the process of development in rural India. The relevant networks we examine are caste and extended family networks, called dynasties. We first establish that there exist job networks in nonagricultural employment for individuals working outside the village. These networks have large effects, and these effects are larger for extended family networks. We then demonstrate that these job networks exhibit competition from fellow network members. As a placebo test we confirm smaller or non-existent network effects for another type of employment believed to be less prone to job referral networks. The second part of this chapter then tests if these dynasty network effects observed for outside employment are consistent with a model of labour market network dynamics. The data are consistent with the model and display both a negative competition effect and a positive information effect. Dynasty network cohorts who arrive in the labour market prior to workers have a positive effect on their employment prospects but those who arrive at the same time have a negative impact. The chapter finishes with some evidence on the potential long run implications of these networks.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis is about photographic archives. Specifically, it concerns the process of acquisition for family photograph albums as archival texts. It argues that the process of acquisition writes history, and not one sole author. Additionally it argues that the institutional policy of an archive governs this process. Further, it argues that there is a homology between a public and private archive. In this light, it pursues an autobiographical approach, and compares the author's family photograph album with a family photograph album in the McCord Museum of Canadian History.

Ebert, Cynthia C. "The Writer in the Early Soviet Union| A Study in Leadership." Thesis, Franklin Pierce University, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3730809.
Full textAbstract:
<p> This study will focus on the role of the writer during the early years of the Soviet Union (1920–1935) through the example of the life and works of Mikhail Bulgakov. Bulgakov’s literary career paralleled Josef Stalin’s rise to supreme power over not only the Communist Party but the Soviet Union and its citizens. As Bulgakov struggled to publish and stage his works, the Soviet government under Stalin strengthened its resolve to utilize writers to educate the masses in the correct behaviors and values of good Soviet citizens. Each demonstrated his own leadership style: as Stalin evolved into a strong Authoritarian Leader, Bulgakov ‘s survival depended upon his Adaptive Leadership skills. Stalin’s greatest successes were during his lifetime; Bulgakov’s followed his death as the Soviet Union declined and his works were published. Research questions include the role of the writer in his contemporary society and the writer’s ability to influence his contemporary society through his own survival in an authoritarian society but the survival of his works for audiences in other times and places. Bulgakov could not compromise his artistic vision, Stalin, although he recognized and appreciated talent, could not compromise his ideological convictions. The result was a complex relationship between two prominent figures whose leadership styles as much as their differing viewpoints dictated the course of their actions.</p>

De, Rycker Katharine. "Recycling Pietro Aretino : the posthumous reputation of Europe's first professional writer." Thesis, University of Kent, 2014. https://kar.kent.ac.uk/50559/.
Full textAbstract:
Pietro Aretino (1492-1556) was an Italian writer who was one of the first to make a living from the printing press. As the 'scourge of princes' he was notorious across Europe for his acerbic wit. However after his death his fame sank when his entire works were placed on the Papal Index of Prohibited Books in 1559. In the century that followed Aretino was a controversial figure, associated with pornography and atheism in the popular imagination and, like Machiavelli, became synonymous with Italian vice in the minds of foreign readers. Despite the complex history of his posthumous reputation abroad, surprisingly little research has been done on the topic. Instead we are left with a few disconnected articles which tend to focus on specific instances of Aretino's works being used as sources for later writers. This thesis therefore provides the first unified approach to examining Aretino's posthumous reputation in the early modern period. It does so by treating his afterlife not as a finished product to be referred to by later readers, but uncovers the processes by which Aretino's reputation mutated through the mediation of editors, translators, writers, readers, engravers and purveyors of erotic art. This thesis is divided into three main phases of Aretino's afterlife, which were previously compressed into a simple 'cause and effect' narrative of Aretino's work being censored in 1559 and his reputation immediately suffering because of it. In the first phase, Aretino's writing is still positively received by editors in England and the Low Countries attempting to restore his work back to their pre-censored state, and by English writers who see Aretino as an extemporal wit and a model for their growing professional aspirations. In the second phase, Aretino's reputation for bawdry and atheism is beginning to impact the way in which he is presented to later readers in Spain, the Low Countries, England, Germany and France, as translators and commentators begin to reframe his writing along newly enforced moral lines. In the third phase, two pornographic works with which Aretino initially had only a tangential relationship are misattributed to him and multiple images and texts from Italy, the Low Countries, England, and France are reproduced as 'Aretine' products. While the majority of the literary references to Aretino in this thesis are to English writers, as this overview makes clear this is not a traditional bilateral comparative study of cultural exchange between Italy and England. Instead it places the English reception of Aretino within an European context, with the Low Countries proving to be unexpectedly prominent in the circulation of his work, even though up till now this connection has never been studied by critics outside of the Netherlands.

Full textAbstract:
Venetian polymath Francesco Algarotti (1712-1764) was an internationally-renowned intellectual in his time. In 1737, he published a wildly successful popularization of Newtonian science for women entitled Il Newtonianismo per le dame, or Newtonianism for the Ladies. The fame he acquired after its appearance continued to increase over the course of his career, with the result that he was invited to join the court of Frederick II (the Great) of Prussia, and subsequently that of Augustus III of Saxony-Poland. In addition his sojourns at their respective courts in Berlin and Dresden, Algarotti travelled to and lived in many other European cultural centres, including Venice, Bologna, Rome, Paris, London, and St. Petersburg. Over the course of his travels, he forged friendships with many of the leading thinkers of the period, including Eustachio Manfredi, Francesco Maria Zanotti, Laura Bassi, Voltaire, Emilie du Châtelet, Pierre-Louis Moreau de Maupertuis, Lord Hervey, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, and Antioch Cantemir. These contacts, and the numerous others he would come to form, would prove to be indispensable in the pursuit of his intellectual and financial goals. Algarotti's ambition was to become an internationally renowned writer. In a century in which scholarship was becoming increasingly international, and the market for, and reach of, printed material was considerably widened, aspiring writers faced both increased opportunities for fame and greater competition in securing the financial support they needed in order to pursue their art. Algarotti's example illuminates both the structures behind these conditions, and the strategies that could be employed in order to negotiate them, in a pan-European context. As an examination of his activities reveals, the formation, expansion, and maintenance of one's networks was crucial to one's intellectual success in eighteenth-century Europe.<br>Le penseur vénitien Francesco Algarotti (1712-1764) était un intellectuel de renommée internationale à son époque. En 1737, il a obtenu un franc succès en publiant un ouvrage de vulgarisation de la science newtonienne destiné à un public féminin, intitulé Il Newtonianismo per le dame, ou Le Newtonisme pour les dames. La notoriété qu'Algarotti a acquise avec cette publication a continué d'augmenter tout au long de sa carrière, et il fut conséquemment invité à joindre la cour de Frédéric II (Le Grand) de Prusse, puis celle d'Auguste III de Saxe-Pologne. En plus de ses séjours aux cours respectives de Berlin et de Dresde, Algarotti a voyagé et vécu dans plusieurs autres centres culturels européens, y compris Venise, Bologne, Rome, Paris, Londres et Saint-Pétersbourg. Au cours de ses voyages, il a forgé des amitiés avec plusieurs des grands penseurs de son temps, parmi lesquels Eustachio Manfredi, Francesco Maria Zanotti, Laura Bassi, Voltaire, Émilie du Châtelet, Pierre-Louis Moreau de Maupertuis, Lord Hervey, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu et Antioch Cantemir. Ces relations, ainsi que de nombreuses autres qu'il sera amené à développer, s'avéreront indispensables dans la poursuite de ses objectifs intellectuels et financiers. L'ambition d'Algarotti était de devenir un écrivain internationalement reconnu. Ce dernier a vécu au cours d'un siècle où le savoir devient de plus en plus international, un savoir à plus grande portée qui fait l'objet d'un marché, et dans lequel le monde de l'imprimé s'est considérablement développé. Les aspirants auteurs étaient confrontés, d'une part, à ces opportunités accrues d'acquérir la gloire, et d'autre part, à davantage de compétition afin de dénicher le support financier nécessaire à la poursuite de leur art. L'exemple d'Algarotti met en lumière les structures qui sous-tendent ces conditions, de même que les stratégies qui pouvaient être employées afin de les négocier, dans un contexte pan-européen. Ainsi que le révèle une analyse de ses activités, la formation, l'expansion et le maintien de ses réseaux était cruciale afin d'assurer son succès intellectuel dans l'Europe du dix-huitième siècle.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse combine l’approche des études cognitives et culturelles ainsi que de la traductologie afin d’examiner l’écriture, l’édition, la traduction et la réception internationale des romans policiers interculturels, en prenant comme modèle deux romans qui se déroulent en Nouvelle-Zélande par le romancier français Caryl Férey, Haka (1998) et Utu (2004). Nous situons d’abord Férey par rapport aux polars français du pacifique sud et aux polars néo-zélandais, et nous montrons que ses livres en diffèrent de façon significative, surtout à cause de son choix d’écrire de l’intérieur de la Nouvelle-Zélande et de la culture maorie. Dans une étude de cas qualitative fondée sur des interviews, nous situons Férey vis-à-vis de ses éditeurs et de ses lecteurs et nous identifions des thèmes récurrents dans son écriture avant d’identifier et d’analyser son emprunt à d'autres textes. Puis, au moyen d’une analyse de la traduction américaine d’Utu (2011), nous soutenons que certains choix culturels ont pour effet d’aliéner les lecteurs néo-zélandais, tandis que les choix linguistiques suggèrent que ceux qui lisent le texte en anglais ont moins l’opportunité de se sentir proche du texte sur les plans intellectuel et émotionnel. Mon analyse de la réception de ces œuvres, la première étude empirique longitudinale et interculturelle de l’influence d’un roman entier sur les opinions (culturelles) des lecteurs, montre que l’information fictionnelle est absorbée par les lecteurs et se mêle aux opinions et aux croyances portant sur une culture.

I first situate Férey against corpus norms of South Pacific french crime fiction and of New Zealand crime fiction and show that he differs in significant ways, not least in his choice to write from within New Zealand and Māori culture. In an interview-based qualitative case study situating Férey alongside his publishers and his readers, I identify recurring themes in his writing before identifying and analysing his borrowing from other texts. In analysing the american english translation of Utu (2011), I then argue that cultural choices alienate New Zealand readers, while linguistic choices mean readers in english have less opportunity to connect intellectually and emotionally with the text. My reader reception study, which is the first empirical, longitudinal, cross-cultural, novel-length reception study of the influence of a text on readers’ (cultural) opinions, shows with statistical significance that fictional information is absorbed into factual beliefs and opinions about a culture. I use approaches from cognitive literary studies to illuminate both the writing and reading of cross-cultural and crime fiction

Full textAbstract:
The Kelvin Grove Urban Village (KGUV) is a 16-hectare urban renewal redevelopment project of the Queensland Department of Housing and the
Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Over the last century, the land has housed military and educational institutions that have shaped Brisbane and Queensland. These groups each have their own history. Collectively their stories represented an opportunity to build a multi-art form public history project, consisting of a creative non-fiction historical manuscript and a collection of digital stories (employing oral history and digital storytelling techniques in particular) to construct a personal sense of place, identity and history. This exegesis examines the processes used and difficulties faced by the writer/producer of the public history; including consideration of the artistic selection involved, and consequent assembly of the material. The research findings clearly show that: giving contributors access to the technology required to produce their own digital stories in a public history does not automatically equate to total participatory inclusion; the writer/producer can work with the public as an active, collaborative team to produce shared historically significant works for the public they represent; and the role of the public historian is that of a valuable broker--in actively seeking to maximize inclusiveness of vulnerable members of the community and by producing a selection of multi-art form works with the public that includes new media.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis offers new perspectives on the Yiddish poet and novelist Chaim Grade, examining his reflections on the world of historic Lithuanian Jewry from the outset of his career through his post-Holocaust novels. Chapter one explores the gap between the historical reality of interwar Vilna and its literary representation in his novel Di agune and questions the widely accepted view of this work as a credible historical source.<br>Chapter two deals with Grade's depiction of his experience as a student in a Novaredok Musar yeshiva, contrasting the depiction of this yeshiva in the poem Musernikes (1938) and the novel Tsemakh atlas (1967). The writer's shift from a fierce condemnation of the Novaredok Yeshiva to a more moderate and affectionate view as a post-Holocaust writer is explained as the older Grade's attempt to reconcile his art and identity as a modern Jew with the religious world he had forsaken.

Brook, Simon Richard. "Industrial playwriting : forms, strategies, and methods for creative production." Queensland University of Technology, 2009. http://eprints.qut.edu.au/30137/.
Full textAbstract:
This study, in its exploration of the attached play scripts and their method of development, evaluates the forms, strategies, and methods of an organised model of formalised playwriting. Through the examination, reflection and reaction to a perceived crisis in playwriting in the Australian theatre sector, the notion of Industrial Playwriting is arrived at: a practice whereby plays are designed and constructed, and where the process of writing becomes central to the efficient creation of new work and the improvement of the writer’s skill and knowledge base.
Using a practice-led methodology and action research the study examines a system of play construction appropriate to and addressing the challenges of the contemporary Australian theatre sector. Specifically, using the action research methodology known as design-based research a conceptual framework was constructed to form the basis of the notion of Industrial Playwriting. From this two plays were constructed using a case study method and the process recorded and used to create a practical, step-by-step system of Industrial Playwriting. In the creative practice of manufacturing a single authored play, and then a group-devised play, Industrial Playwriting was tested and found to also offer a valid alternative approach to playwriting in the training of new and even emerging playwrights. Finally, it offered insight into how Industrial Playwriting could be used to greatly facilitate theatre companies’ ongoing need to have access to new writers and new Australian works, and how it might form the basis of a cost effective writer development model. This study of the methods of formalised writing as a means to confront some of the challenges of the Australian theatre sector, the practice of playwriting and the history associated with it, makes an original and important contribution to contemporary playwriting practice.

Full textAbstract:
This is a study of W. Somerset Maugham's writings about the East as colonialist discourse. It examines Maugham's representation of 'white' men in the colonies, of the 'natives', and of the environment and landscape in which his stories are set. Drawing upon the work of the 'subaltern' group of Indian historians, and using historiography as a point of departure, the reading analyses the extent of the exclusion of 'subaltern' consciousness and history in Maugham's texts. It also locates the margins and the silences in his texts as sites for the recuperation of 'subaltern' presence and history. His representation of 'native' men, of 'native' women and of 'half-castes' is given particular attention. Racial hierarchies intersect with those of gender when 'white' women as 'sexual' beings share the condition of subalternity with 'natives'. Again, Eastern lands are also seen to be inscribed as feminine and as such made available for (Western) male occupation and domination. This reading also interrogates the dominant 'humanist' paradigm of Maugham criticism which has consistently read his work as being an 'exact' or'true' representation of the worlds he writes of, and demonstrates the extent to which his writing draws on Orientalist constructions of the East, and far from valorising the East (as traditional criticism has it), works within prevalent colonial discursive structures to reaffirm not only binary structurations of the world but also the relations of power that such structurations install and consolidate.

Letcher, Valerie Helen. "Trespassing beyond the borders Harriet Ward as writer and commentator on the Eastern Cape frontier." Thesis, Rhodes University, 1996. http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1002283.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to provide an introduction to the work of writer and journalist Harriet Ward, resident in the Eastern Cape from 1842 to 1848. She was a prolific correspondent to various periodicals published both in South Africa and in London. It would be true to say, to judge from the evidence, that she fulfilled a need felt by the British public for information on life and events in South Africa, and that she became the trusted guide of the middle-class reader. Her range covers reports from the frontiers of war, journalistic articles, memoirs, short stories, novels, autobiography, and editions of other writers' work. After the publication of her articles on the Seventh Frontier War (1846-7), she was recognised and respected as a commentator on the situation at the Eastern Cape, an unusual role for a woman at this time. She was also amongst the foremost victorian women writers published from the early eighteen forties until the end of the eighteen-fifties. Harriet Ward has left a vivid historical and sociological account of the Cape frontier, and her observations and judgements provide a hitherto virtually unknown perspective on an important part of South African history and letters. What makes her even more interesting, as this study seeks to show, is that she was far from conventional in her response to her new environment, both as as a woman and as a representative of a colonialist power. The record she has left of her thoughts on the people, landscape and situations of the time has the capacity to surprise the post-colonial literary critic and historian. Her struggle to find a discursive mode in which to express her consciousness of the oppression, patriarchal and colonial, of the marginalised, whether woman, indigene, Afrikaner, or creole, reveals a significantly transgressive or subversive response to the issues of the day. In re-discovering Harriet Ward, we are forced to reassess our assumptions regarding the period of colonial history to which she was a witness.

Previous issue date: 2018-02-27<br>Esta dissertação foi realizada em nível de mestrado profissional, no Programa de Pós- Graduação Docência para Educação Básica, da Unesp de Bauru/SP. Teve como objetivo geral escrever a história do desenvolvimento da escrita na criança na alfabetização e descrever as características específicas que a escrita sofre ao longo desse processo. Para tanto foram determinados os momentos críticos de transformação da escrita para caracterizar seus estágios e foram discretizados os expedientes que promovem o trânsito de uma forma de escrita para outra. Essa história só pôde ser escrita por meio das análises das produções das crianças registradas em vídeo, seguidas de transcrição dos diálogos ocorridos no momento da produção. Para sua execução, apoiamo-nos no conceito de escrita na perspectiva vigotskiana e na pré- história da escrita articulados aos processos fonéticos/fonológicos, morfológicos, sintáticos, semânticos e discursivos. O percurso metodológico da pesquisa seguiu o delineamento da pesquisa experimental. Para determinar os estágios da formação da escrita rumo à cultural os núcleos de generalização do pensamento por complexo serviram de base. Das escritas produzidas pelas crianças procedeu-se a análise que proporcionou o reconhecimento de traços comuns, os quais, por sua vez, levaram-nos a postular os estágios da escrita, bem como deslindar os expedientes usados pelas crianças para objetivar a escrita cultural. Tais descobertas (estágios da escrita e expedientes) ancoraram a construção de um instrumento para avaliar o desenvolvimento da escrita na criança que registra o movimento de sua formação, norteando o professor para atuar na zona de desenvolvimento iminente. De maneira geral os resultados de análise mostraram que, durante o processo de alfabetização: 1) as crianças usam mais de um sistema de escrita e não apenas o sistema alfabético; 2) os expedientes usados pela criança na pré-história da escrita, como forma, tamanho, cor, quantidade e desenho, para desenvolver signos subjetivos, reaparecem requalificados na história do desenvolvimento da escrita, além de outros expedientes que são incorporados; 3) os fenômenos linguísticos de cada palavra, incluindo a sua estrutura silábica, influenciam o movimento de evolução e involução da escrita na criança. Como resultados da pesquisa foram criados os estágios de formação da escrita cultural, em seu processo de apropriação; foram identificados os expedientes que transformam a escrita de um estágio para outro e foi produzido um instrumento avaliativo da escrita no processo de alfabetização, configurado no gênero textual relatório técnico. Esse instrumento visa a garantir a historicidade dialética da formação da escrita, que é muito maior que a mera classificação das escritas em estágios.<br>This dissertation was carried out at the professional master's level, in the Teaching Postgraduate Program for Basic Education, at Unesp in Bauru / SP. The general objective was to write the history of the development of the writing in the childhood in the alphabetization and to describe the specific characteristics that the writing undergoes throughout this process. For that, the critical moments of the transformation of writing were determined to characterize its stages and shared expedients that promoted the transit from one form of writing to another. This story could only be written through the analyzes of the productions of children recorded in video, followed by transcription of the dialogues that occurred at the time of production. For its execution, we rely on the concept of writing in the Vigotskian perspective and in the prehistory of writing articulated to the phonetic / phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic and discursive processes. The methodological path of the research followed the design of the experimental research. In order to determine the stages of writing formation towards culture, the generalization nuclei of thought by complex were the basis. From the writings produced by the children, the analysis was carried out, which allowed the recognition of common traits, which in turn led us to postulate the stages of writing, as well as to identify the records used by children to objectify cultural writing. Such discoveries (writing stage and expedition) anchored the construction of an instrument to evaluate the development of writing in the child that registers the movement of its formation, guiding the teacher to act in the area of imminent development. In general, the analysis results showed that during the literacy process: 1) children use more than one writing system, not just the alphabetic system; 2) the records used by the child in the prehistory of writing, such as shape, size, color, quantity and drawing, to develop subjective signs, reappear requalified in the history of writing development, in addition to other records that are incorporated; 3) the linguistic phenomena of each word, including its syllabic structure, influence the movement of evolution and involution of writing in the child. As results of the research were created the stages of cultural writing formation, in its process of appropriation; it were identified the records that transform writing from one stage to another and were produced an evaluation instrument of writing in the literacy process, configured in the technical report textual genre. This instrument aims to guarantee the dialectical historicity of writing formation, which is much greater than the mere classification of writing in stages.

Full textAbstract:
This is a biographical study of Elizabeth D. Kane (1836-1909), travel writer and wife of Thomas L. Kane, non-Mormon friend of the nineteenth-century Mormons of Utah. Primary source materials are mainly Elizabeth's fourteen diaries (spanning the years 1853 to 1909), letters and narrative accounts. Elizabeth was greatly influenced by Thomas, while maintaining her independence. She was interested in religion and feminist issues, and those interests, combined with her marital relationship, shaped her life's direction. Thomas Kane's interest in the Mormons also influenced Elizabeth's religious and feminist views, and she initially struggled with accepting Thomas's work for them because of their practice of polygamy. When Elizabeth went to Utah in 1872, her religiosity, feminism, and marriage provided the context in which she wrote her travel accounts, Twelve Mormon Homes (1874) and A Gentile in Utah's Dixie (1995).Elizabeth and Thomas had a companionate marriage. Theoretically they were equal partners, but Thomas often acted as Elizabeth's mentor, introducing her to well-known feminists, encouraging her to attend medical school and develop her writing talents. Religion was important to her, particularly as she tried influencing Thomas to join her Christian (Presbyterian) faith. Elizabeth thought about the Women's Rights movement and wrote her own ideas regarding women's role, endorsing feminist concepts like voluntary motherhood and addressing issues like polygamy and the double moral standard.This study analyzes Elizabeth's travel accounts which provide information on rural Utah and Mormon polygamous women from the perspective of a trusted outsider. During her Utah visit, Elizabeth changed from being resentful of the Mormons because of Thomas's devotion to them, to being friendly towards them. After Thomas's death in 1883, Elizabeth worked as a local leader in the Women's Christian Temperance Union and was a prominent citizen of Kane, Pennsylvania, the town which she and Thomas founded in the 1860s.This study is important to women's history because Elizabeth represents how many nineteenth-century women became more independent and socially conscious. It is significant in Mormon history because of her her travel accounts and because her writings provide information on the important relationship between Thomas L. Kane and the Mormons.

Previous issue date: 2016-07-07<br>O presente trabalho é uma biografia intelectual do escritor cidadão Joaquim
Maria Carneiro Vilela (1846-1913), jornalista político e literário; tradutor e crítico
literário; magistrado e advogado; poeta épico, satírico e lírico; romancista histórico e de
costumes; folhetinista e panfletário; dramaturgo e comediógrafo; caricaturista; e ainda
cenógrafo, pintor e um dos fundadores da Academia Pernambucana de Letras. Carneiro
Vilela não foi um beletrista afeito exclusivamente ao belo, ou um nefelibata alheio à
realidade nacional, mas um escritor engajado, integrante da geração de 1870, que
empunhou a sua pena com o objetivo de influenciar reformas econômicas, políticas,
sociais, religiosas e culturais. A sua obra precisa ser analisada levando em consideração
o contexto político-intelectual em que surge; apenas a inscrição da sua obra no processo
de luta política permite especificar seu sentido: são intervenções no debate político da
crise do Império e das primeiras décadas da República. Os seus escritos delinearam um
‘retrato do Brasil’, e dessa maneira é possível inseri-lo no vasto panteão de intérpretes
do país que se dedicaram, basicamente, a responder duas perguntas: quem somos? E o
que queremos ser? Vilela foi um ‘mosqueteiro intelectual’ que, durante quatro décadas,
mais ou menos entre 1870 a 1910, procurou entender o Brasil e sonhou com a
construção de uma nova arquitetura social, política, cultural, etc. Defendemos que
Vilela usou seus escritos para vocalizar insatisfações e para formalizar críticas às
instituições, aos valores e às práticas fundamentais da ordem imperial, bem como às
práticas republicanas que bloquearam projetos democráticos para a sociedade brasileira.<br>This work is a biography of the “citizen-writer” Joaquim Maria Carneiro Vilela
(1846-1913). He was a journalist on politics and literature, who also worked on a
myriad of other activities related to several areas. On Arts he wrote several plays, did
countless caricatures, and did scenography for his and other plays. On literature he
translated plays, books and texts, at same time that was a literature analyst. He was one
of the founders of the Literature Society of Pernambuco State. As a member of the
“1870 Cohort”, his writings aimed at political and social transformation, as well as
religious and cultural changes. His work shall be analyzed considering the political and
ideological context of that time. It can only be understood taking the political struggle
of those years into account. He as an intense activist and took part on the political
debate during the twilight of Brazilian Empire, and the first years of the Republican
Regime which followed it. His writings have drawn a “portrait” of Brazilian society,
which allow us to include him as part of a large group of intellectuals devoted to
understand the Brazilian Society. For those, there were two basic questions to be
answered: who are we? What do we want to be? Mr. Vilela was a kind of “intellectual
musketeer”, which have tried to understand and change his country, around the 18701910
period. He dreamed about a country with a new political, cultural and social shape.
I understand that Mr. Vilela saw his works as tools for those changes, and was
especially critic of Brazilian Imperial institutions and social values, but did not spare the
Republican regime of acid comments, when the Government walked away from the
democratic project it was supposed to be inspired.

Full textAbstract:
La réflexion engagée dans la thèse propose une archéologie des représentations collectives se rapportant à l’espace domestique de l’écrivain et à son œuvre au moyen d’une socio-critique des textes où elles prennent corps. À partir de la notion de « maison-musée », la maison-musée de l’écrivain est considérée comme un lieu réel et comme une structure mentale et matérielle où s’inventent, s’organisent, s’exposent et sont conservées des « images d’écrivain » qui, quoique variées, voire hétérogènes, définissent un imaginaire et une imagerie cohérents de la figure de l’écrivain. Dans la thèse, la dimension discursive de la « paratopie » du lieu d’écriture est mise en perspective avec les approches posturales et scénographiques centrées sur la figure de l’écrivain. Pour ce faire, l’étude postule que l’agencement des objets dans les maisons-musées s’appuie sur ces « scéno-mythographies ». Des dispositifs d’exposition divers les transposeraient par la suite dans l’espace muséal. Partant, la thèse montre que les mises en scène de l’écrivain à demeure constituent un levier essentiel des appropriations mémorielles collectives des écrivains et de leurs œuvres parce qu’elles cristallisent des représentations mythiques à succès qui s’actualisent dans l’esprit du temps. Plus largement, elles participent à l’écriture de l’histoire littéraire qui s’institutionnalise au XIXe siècle : elles mettent l’accent sur certains écrivains, sur une mythologie de la création littéraire et sur des œuvres qui ont vu le jour dans de « hauts-lieux littéraires ». Enfin, il s’agit de comprendre les enjeux de poétique et de réception qui lient les maisons des écrivains à leur œuvre littéraire<br>The reflection undertaken in the thesis offers an archaeology of the collective representations relating to the writer’s domestic space and work, by means of a socio-criticism of the texts in which they materialise. From the notion of “house-museum”, the writer’s house-museum is considered a real place, as well as a mental and material structure where « images of the writer » are invented, organised and displayed. Albeit varied, even heterogonous, these images define a coherent imagination and imagery of the writer’s figure. In the thesis, the discursive dimension of the writing place′s “paratopia” is put into perspective with scenographic and postural approaches that are centred on the figure of the writer. To that end, the study predicates that the arrangement of objects in house-museums is based on these ‘‘sceno-mythographies,’’ which are then transposed into the museum space thanks to various display devices. Right from the start, the thesis shows that the writer’s stagings perpetually constitute an essential lever of the writers’ collective memorial appropriations and their works because they crystallise successful mythical representations, which are actualized in the spirit of the age. More broadly, they take part in writing the literary history that is institutionalised in the 19th century: they put the emphasis on certain writers, on a mythology of the literary creation, and on works that came to life in “high literary places.” Finally, the thesis tackles the issues of poetics and reception that link the writers’ houses to their literary work

Full textAbstract:
À partir de l’étude de la représentation de l’écrivain fictif et son double dans deux textes de l’auteur états-unien Stephen King, le roman The Dark Half et la novella « Secret Window, Secret Garden », et dans deux romans de l’auteur québécois Patrick Senécal, Sur le seuil et Aliss, nous nous interrogeons sur la possible métatextualité du fantastique obvie nord-américain de l’extrême contemporain. Par un recours à différentes méthodes d’analyse et d’interprétation du récit, nous montrons que, dans les œuvres de notre corpus, ces deux auteurs de fantastique dit populaire emploient les mêmes outils stylistiques que les auteurs de littérature générale – procédés d’autoreprésentation, références intertextuelles, transgression des niveaux narratifs ou encore mise en relief de la fictionalité du texte. Par là, King et Senécal mènent à leur tour une réflexion sur l’écrivain, le processus créatif et le genre fantastique, sans pour autant renoncer à la monstration caractéristique du fantastique obvie. Ainsi, bien que les critiques opèrent généralement une césure entre un fantastique populaire et un fantastique littéraire, la frontière entre chaque catégorie est moins fermée qu’il n’y paraît. Notre étude montre en effet qu’un fort niveau de monstration n’exclut pas nécessairement une forte métatextualité. De plus, l’insistance sur la fictionalité du récit consécutive à la réflexion métalittéraire ne détruisant en rien l’effet fantastique, nous soutenons que, contrairement à la monstration, la métatextualité est constitutive du genre fantastique<br>Through a study of the representation of the fictitious writer and his doppelganger in two works of fiction by the U. S. Author Stephen King, the novel The Dark Half and the novella “Secret Window, Secret Garden,” and in two novels by the Quebec author Patrick Senécal, Sur le seuil and Aliss, I examine the possible metafictionality of contemporary North-American horror fiction. Drawing upon methods in literary analysis and textual interpretation, I show that, in these four texts, these two horror fiction authors use the same writing techniques as mainstream authors do – autorepresentation, intertextual references, transgression of narrative levels, and highlighting of a text’s fictionality. Thus, King and Senécal conduct a literary reflection on the artistic identity of the writer, on writing, and on the genre itself, without abandoning the horrific descriptions which characterize horror fiction. Although critics do make a clear distinction between horror fiction and fantastic fiction, the line between them can sometimes be blurred. Indeed, my study points out that a strong level of horrific description does not necessarily exclude a strong level of metafiction. Moreover, since the emphasis on a text’s fictionality resulting from the metafictional reflection does not ruin the fantastic effect, I argue that, unlike horrific descriptions, which are limited to horror fiction, metafictionality is inherent to the fantastic genre as a whole

Shmilovits, Liron. "Deus ex machina : legal fictions in private law." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2019. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/286225.
Full textAbstract:
This PhD dissertation is about legal fictions in private law. A legal fiction, broadly, is a false assumption knowingly relied upon by the courts. The main aim of the dissertation is to formulate a test for which fictions should be accepted and which rejected. Subsidiary aims include a better understanding of the fiction as a device and of certain individual fictions, past and present. This research is undertaken, primarily, to establish a rigorous system for the treatment of fictions in English law - which is lacking. Secondarily, it is intended to settle some intractable disputes, which have plagued the scholarship. These theoretical debates have hindered progress on the practical matters which affect litigants in the real world. The dissertation is divided into four chapters. The first chapter is a historical study of common-law fictions. The conclusions drawn thereform are the foundation of the acceptance test for fictions. The second chapter deals with the theoretical problems surrounding the fiction. Chiefly, it seeks precisely to define 'legal fiction', a recurrent problem in the literature. A solution, in the form of a two-pronged definition, is proposed, adding an important element to the acceptance test. The third chapter analyses modern-day fictions and recommends retention or abolition for each fiction. In the fourth chapter, the findings hitherto are synthesised into a general acceptance test for fictions. This test, which is the thesis of this work, is presented as a flowchart. It is the author's hope that this project will raise awareness as to the merits and demerits of legal fictions, de-mystify the debate and bring about reform.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail arpente le domaine de ce qu’Albert Thibaudet nommait « la critique des artistes » pour montrer que, au cours de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, ce genre de critique a constitué un véritable laboratoire permettant de sortir des impasses auxquelles avait conduit la vision autotélique de l’œuvre proposée par la critique formaliste et par la néo-avant-garde. Dans la première partie de l’étude on s’interroge sur l’évolution de la critique formaliste, en envisageant le tournant linguistique des années 1960 comme l’aboutissement naturel d’une révolution culturelle qui a eu lieu à la fin du XIXe siècle. En menant une analyse comparée entre la France et l’Italie, on observe les deux critiques formalistes en-dehors de leur rapport de filiation, et on brosse un modèle transnational qui montre qu’elles partagent la même conception de la littérature postulée par la néo-avant-garde. La deuxième partie du travail est consacrée à l’analyse d’une tendance relevable dans la critique des écrivains à partir de l’après-guerre, où une étude purement intrinsèque de l’œuvre d’art est mise en discussion. On propose une analyse comparée de la critique littéraire de Georges Perec, Michel Tournier, Philippe Muray, Tommaso Landolfi, Pier Paolo Pasolini et Pier Vittorio Tondelli, afin de souligner que leur pratique critique ne s’est pas limitée à une déclaration personnelle de poétique, mais elle a ouvert une voie alternative à l’exaspération des positions théoriques formalistes, en anticipant ou en prônant le dépassement d’une vision autoréférentielle de l’œuvre qui a caractérisé la littérature de la fin du XXe siècle aussi bien en France qu’en Italie<br>My dissertation covers the field of what Albert Thibaudet called “the critique of artists” in order to show that, throughout the second half of the twentieth century, this form of criticism has given readers a different perspective on literature in comparison to that of the formalists and the neo-avant-garde. In the first part of my study, I examine the evolution of formalist criticism in the twentieth century, considering the linguistic turn of the 1960s as the natural outcome of a cultural revolution which took place at the end of the nineteenth century. By conducting a comparative study between France and Italy, I attempt to outline a transnational model which shows that the two formalist critiques share the same understanding of the literature postulated by the neo-avant-garde. The second part of my thesis is devoted to the study of one of the main tendencies in the critique of the writers since the Second World War, a tendency that called into question a purely intrinsic study of the work of art. Here, I propose a comparative study of the literary critique of Georges Perec, Michel Tournier, Philippe Muray, Tommaso Landolfi, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Pier Vittorio Tondelli, in order to underline that their critical practice has not limited itself to a personal declaration of their poetic views, but it has truly opened up an alternative approach to formalist theoretical positions. They refused to speak of literature as a secluded world, and by doing so they anticipated one of the most important features of the literature of the end of the twentieth century, both in France and in Italy

in the dramatic processes of social reform in Meiji Japan (1868-1912). Both Caucasian and
Nikkei historians have sustained the power of this mythical image by characterizing those
experiences that exceed its conceptual boundaries as merely idiosyncratic. Simultaneously,
however, Nikkei women have been weaving narratives of their history which both duplicate and
subvert this image of quiet domesticity.
This study contrasts processes of identity formation in twentieth-century writing by and
about Canadian Nikkei women. I approach these narratives by first analyzing the categories of
race, class, ethnicity, culture, and gender that historians, anthropologists, literary theorists, and
theorists of ethnicity have constructed in order to interpret and contain them. I then examine
how the narratives engage with three dominant discourses of being, namely those concerned
with food, sexuality, and the transmission of culture.
For several reasons, I treat this body of writing from an interdisciplinary and multi-theoretical
perspective. My sources include published and unpublished texts from a variety of
disciplines, including anthropology, history, literature, and geography. These texts embrace a
wide range of genres, among them fiction, poetry, autobiography, the essay, the journal, the
letter, so-called conventional scholarship, and responses to an ethnograhic questionnaire that I
have collected. The texts are also informed by both Japanese and "western"2 cultural ideas and practices, and sometimes by several additional cultural influences. Their writers create a
complex interrelation of textual identities which invites a range of disciplinary and theoretical
perspectives. Thus I examine the texts by engaging with a number of theories, including
deconstructive postmodernism, deconstructive feminism, feminist anthropology, feminist history,
and close textual analysis.
I base this study on the theoretical premise that to treat narratives of experience
rigorously, the researcher must regard the texts as both objects of study and authoritative
critical voices (Cole and Phillips 1995; Chow 1993; Trinh 1989; Clifford and Marcus 1986).
Therefore, I look to writing by Nikkei women for its reflections on Nikkei women's experiences,
but also for guidance in interpreting the texts under study. As well, I read these texts for their
critical comment on the conceptual categories that conventional scholarship has used to
manage the unruliness and ambiguity of Nikkei women's narratives and experience. By
welcoming the categorically disruptive, my analysis offers a theoretical perspective that may
help to ensure a creative interrelation of theory and praxis.
[Footnotes] 1 "Nikkei" are individuals of Japanese descent living outside of Japan.
2 Some researchers favour the upper case "Western" to describe North American and European
theoretical traditions across disciplines (Mennell 1985). I include in the category of "western" all those ideas that become a body of thought as they are used to distinguish them from "eastern" or "oriental."
With the success of European and American imperialist projects from the nineteenth century to the
present, this "setting-off against the Orient," as Said calls it (Orientalism 3), exceeds national boundaries.
One can say, then, that there are critics of Japanese ancestry, residing in Japan and elsewhere, who
write from a western point of view. Thus, I depend on the lower-case "western," to emphasize the
constructed nature of western ideology, as opposed to the stricter geographical or political connotations
suggested by the proper noun.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺北藝術大學<br>博物館研究所碩士班<br>103<br>Researchers often consider oral history and objects that differ from archives as materials for historical research. Different from archives, these two types of materials paved the way to new fields of historical research, such as public, cultural, and social history. In the 1970s, museums with a focus on objects began discovering the purpose and value of oral history, and used its methods and data for research and exhibitions. However, most collections of oral history and objects in museums are gathered by curators who collected, organized and used oral history and artifacts to construct history filled with an elite tone. In 1998, the Ministry of Culture promoted the “Come and Write Your Village History Project”. Originally created with the intention of integrating “written local history” and “community development”, “Shihtan Township Museum” actually went in the opposite direction of that plan. Through the collection of oral history and objects, people can interpret their own histories, and reconcile their local identities as a result.
More than a decade has passed since the “Come and Write Your Village History Project”. This study uses literature review, oral interviews, and field observations to re-examine the preliminary planning, implementation, and participation for the Come and Write Your Village History Project” in Shihtan Township, Miaoli. On one end, this study explores public participation in oral history and artifacts, and their impact on historical interpretation. On another end, it allows us to reflect on whether this operational model can truly allow museums to become spaces in which local people may participate and practice a form of self-interpretation.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the need for accurate oil and gas reserves estimates which honor disclosure requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a number of exploration and production companies have allegedly overstated and subsequently written down their reserves during the last 20 years. Reserves write-downs are of great interest to numerous groups involved in the reserves estimation process and outcome, including estimators, managers, investors, creditors, and regulators. Considering the magnitude and nature of some alleged overstatement cases, it appears that some of these parties may benefit from a better understanding of reserves reporting, the relative risk of overstatements, the regulatory environment and enforcement procedures, and identifying questionable reserves data. After discussing the context and importance of reserves and write-downs, there is a detailed examination of the SEC, including the agency's reserves reporting requirements, and their enforcement methods. A number of alleged overstatement and write-down "case studies" are presented, with details on the specific Federal Laws alleged to have been violated by corporations or individuals and then cited by the SEC and shareholder lawsuits. We also conclude that there may be greater write-down potential due to the updated SEC reserves reporting guidelines. A comprehensive series of systematic questions have been compiled and quick-look graphical techniques have been developed that may be used to gain insight into -and potentially raise questions about- an operator's reserves data.

Full textAbstract:
abstract: ABSTRACT The early twentieth century saw changing attitudes in gender roles and the advancement of the "New Woman." Despite the decline in the availability of homesteading land in the US West, homesteading still offered a means for women to achieve or enact newfound independence, and the letters of Elinore Pruitt Stewart, Elizabeth Corey, and Cecilia Hennel Hendricks offer a varied view of the female homesteading experience. This dissertation focuses upon the functionality of epistolary discourse from early twentieth century homesteading women within a literary and historical framework in order to establish the significance of letters as literary texts and examine the methodology involved in creating epistolary identities. Chapter one provides background on the history of the letter in America. It also as introduces a theoretical framework regarding life writing, feminism, and epistolary discourse that inform this study, by scholars such as Phillipe LeJeune, Leigh Gilmore, Janet Altman, Julie Watson, and Sidonie Smith. Chapter two delves into the published letters of Elinore Pruitt Stewart and the way in which her writing, when situated within a US western literary framework, serves as a reaction to the masculine western hero. Chapter three considers the epistolary relationships evident in the letters of Elizabeth Corey and the construction of gender identity within epistolarity. Chapter four focuses upon Cecilia Hennel Hendricks and the historical and feminist context of her letters, with a particular emphasis upon the "love letter." The conclusion examines the progression of the letter in the twentieth century and forms of online discourse that can be directly linked to its evolution. Far from being simply a form of communication, these letters reveal the history of a time, a place, a people, function as narrative literary texts, and aid in developing identities. For readers and scholars they tell offer a glimpse into life for women in the early twentieth century and highlight the significance of letters as a literary form.<br>Dissertation/Thesis<br>Ph.D. English 2010

Full textAbstract:
Contributing to the work of philosophers of education who have been examining issues of economy and emancipation, this dissertation employs a set of critical lenses drawn from Foucault’s investigation of governmentality to trace correspondences between economic liberalism and public schooling in Upper Canada/Canada West, the historical antecedent of present day Ontario. The analysis adheres to Foucault’s advice that philosophical critique involves a question asked of the present but answered in history. Thus through a Foucauldian genealogy it is argued that a series of transformations in the deployment of governmental power occurred in Upper Canada/Canada West that entailed the entry of an economic rationality into deliberations over the creation of a school system. To support this argument evidence is presented that demonstrates how race, biopolitics, and the burgeoning science of political economy combined in the first half of the nineteenth century to form the conditions of possibility for governmental control of schooling. In particular, it is illustrated how these conditions favoured a pedagogy based in Locke’s epistemology, and were legitimized by the providential status accorded political economy. This pedagogy, which was promoted as mild and so conducive to student engagement, and the authority of political economy are revealed as integral to the methods of instruction and curriculum of the province’s common schools, and indicative of the legacy of economic liberalism that persists, albeit transformed, in Ontario education to this day.
The result of this critical analysis is a redescription or, in Foucault’s terminology, a “countermemory” of Ontario educational history that challenges the presumed naturalism of the ideals characteristic of economic liberalism, such as autonomy, accountability, entrepreneurialism, and consumer choice. The dissertation contends that these ideals are active in local educational regimes long legitimized by economy, and dangerously aimed at fostering political consent by manipulating subjects into locations of restricted agency.
Providing insight into the historical role played by liberal governmentality and economy in the local context contributes to the study of Foucault and the philosophy of education, and also suggests a change in approach to questions regarding the corporatization or marketization of education.

no plano de estudos do mestrado profissionalizante em Ensino do 1º e 2º Ciclo
do Ensino Básico, do Instituto de Educação, da Universidade do Minho.
Foram realizadas intervenções em contexto de 1º e 2º ciclo no
Agrupamento de Escolas André Soares e foi planeado e implementado um
Projeto de Intervenção Pedagógica, que foi de encontro às necessidades dos
contextos de intervenção.
Depois de várias sessões de observação e prática supervisionada,
verificou-se que existiam algumas falhas relativamente à aprendizagem dos
alunos. Estes revelavam dificuldades em assimilar os conteúdos lidos e
escritos, ou seja, nem sempre conseguiam ler e escrever para aprender.
Assim, foi elaborado um projeto cujo tema era Ler e escrever para aprender
História e Geografia de Portugal. Este tinha como objetivos: desenvolver
competências de aprendizagem dos alunos no domínio da H.G.P. pelo
desenvolvimento de práticas de leitura e escrita; construir conhecimentos de
H.G.P. com recurso a atividades de leitura e escrita; compreender textos de
natureza variada no domínio de H.G.P. e produzir textos para exprimir o
conhecimento adquirido em H.G.P.
Este relatório divide-se em três capítulos: no capítulo I é feita a
caraterização do contexto e identificação do problema que suscitou a
intervenção pedagógica; no capítulo II encontra-se o enquadramento teórico; o
capítulo III diz respeito à descrição e avaliação das atividades do projeto de
intervenção pedagógica. No final, é apresentada uma conclusão, onde é feita
uma reflexão pessoal, avaliando o processo de implementação do projeto.<br>This report describes the project developed in the teacher training unit

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation seeks to show that the figure of the female letter-writer in English Renaissance literature, rather than reflecting the culture’s desire to contain, undermine, or destroy the notion of women’s textual production, in fact represents the culture’s desire to imagine and see women as writers. The image of the female letter-writer was sufficiently pervasive both to normalize the idea that real women might properly engage in textual production, and to function as a literary trope which was used to investigate issues beyond gender ideology. “Author of Prodigies” explores representations of women’s epistolary creation in a broad selection of fictional texts, primarily drama. Based on these representations, I argue that the figure of the female letter-writer functioned as a means through which the fragile and epistemologically fraught relationship between the subject and the writing in which she engages was explored. In Chapter One, I focus primarily on the history of early feminist criticism, issues of how letters are related to non-epistolary texts, Renaissance notions of subjectivity and its relationship to gender, and how subjectivity was understood to adhere in epistolary writing. In Chapter Two, I examine texts in which female characters pen letters in their own blood. Blood letters figure the fragility, marginality, and vulnerability associated with self revelation in a context in which female subjectivity was not comfortably acknowledged. Chapter Three features texts that contemplate the fantasy of female characters wooing their beaux by merging epistolary production and metadramatic performances of femininity. These characters use gendered social constraints to their advantage, revealing themselves to be sufficiently skillful to manipulate social and material signs of their marginalized position in order to achieve their personal desires. Chapter Four focuses on male fetishization of women’s intellectual labour through letter-writing, and the ways in which women writers anticipate and manipulate this response. These depictions of women’s mental work are infused with mystery, which is integral to the pleasure of imagining women engaged in letter-writing. However, as the terms of the fetish are being established in these texts they are also in the process of being normalized.<br>Thesis (Ph.D, English) -- Queen's University, 2008-12-15 21:08:25.539

This thesis examines works written about imprisonment by
four South African political prison writers who were incarcerated
for political reasons. My Introduction focuses on current
research and literature available on the subject of political
prison-writing and it justifies the study to be undertaken.
Chapter One examines the National Party's policy pertaining to
the holding of political prisoners and discusses the work of
Michel Foucault on the subject of imprisonment as well as the
connection he makes between knowledge and power. This chapter
also considers the factors that motivate a prisoner to write.
Bearing in mind Foucault's findings, Chapters Two to Five
undertake detailed studies of La Guma's The Stone Country, Dennis
Brutus's Letters to Martha, Hugh Lewin's Bandiet and Breyten
Breytenbach's The True Confessions of an Albino Terrorist,
respectively. Particular emphasis is placed on the reaction of
these writers against a repressive government. In addition,
Chapters Two to Five reflect on the way in which imprisonment
affected them from a psychological point of view, and on the
manner in which they were, paradoxically, empowered by their
prison experience. Chapters Four and Five also consider capital
punishment and Lewin and Breytenbach's response to living in a
hanging jail. I contemplate briefly the works of Frantz Fanon in
the conclusion in order to elaborate on the reasons for the
failure of the system of apartheid and the policy of political
imprisonment and to reinforce my argument.<br>English Studies<br>D. Litt. et Phil. (English)

Full textAbstract:
From the late 1970s, New Zealand women short story writers increasingly worked their way into the literary mainstream. In the wake of the early, feminist-motivated years of the decade their gender, which had previously been the root of their marginalized position, began to work for them. However, rather than embracing womanhood, this growth in gender recognition led to many writers rejecting overt identification of their sex. To be a labeled a woman writer was considered patronising, a mark of inferiority. These women wanted to be known as writers only, some even expressing a hope for literature to reach a point of androgyny. Their work, however, did not convey an androgynous perspective. Just as the fact of their gender could not be avoided, so the influence their sex had on their creativity cannot be denied. Gender does matter and New Zealand women's short fiction published in the 1975-1995 period illustrates its significance. From the early trend for adopting fiction as a site for social commentary and political treatise against patriarchy's one-dimensional image of woman, these stories show a gradually increasing awareness of fictional possibilities, allowing for celebration of the multiplicity of female experience and capturing a process of redefinition rather than rejection of 'women's work'. Though in the later 1990s it may no longer have been politically 'necessary' to promote women's work on the grounds of gender, on a personal level the 'difference of view' of the woman writer remained both visible and vital. An increasing sense of woman-to-woman communication based on shared experience emerges: women are writing as women, about women, for women.

Text in Afrikaans with Abstracts in Afrikaans, English and isiZulu<br>In hierdie proefskrif word ondersoek ingestel na die parateks as narratiewe strategie vir toeganklikheid in geselekteerde Afrikaanse kinder- en jeugliteratuur. Die kern van hierdie ondersoek is die toeganklikheid van die boodskap binne die paratekstuele en narratiewe kommunikasiesituasie. Vir hierdie ondersoek is die sentrale probleemstelling soos volg geformuleer: hoe word die parateks as narratiewe strategie gebruik om kinder- en jeugliteratuur meer toeganklik vir jong lesers te maak?
Gérard Genette se werk oor die parateks (1997a) en die narratologie (1983, 1990) dien as teoretiese basis vir hierdie studie se konseptuele raamwerk, aangevul deur die werk van Mieke Bal (1991, 2009). Jauss (1982) se resepsie-estetika word ook betrek ten einde toeganklikheid ten opsigte van die primêre teikenmark te formuleer.
Binne die konteks van hierdie konseptuele raamwerk, word daar afsonderlik ondersoek ingestel na die ontvangers, senders en boodskap van die paratekstuele en narratiewe kommunikasiesituasie. Die ontvangers is die lesers van die parateks as narratiewe strategie vir toeganklikheid en word bespreek as die primêre, dubbele en tweeledige teikenmarkte. Die senders is die verskillende skrywers betrokke by die skepping en implementering van die parateks as narratiewe strategie vir toeganklikheid. Onderskeid word getref tussen die primêre skrywer, die tweede skrywer en die sekondêre skrywer. Laastens word die boodskap ondersoek soos dit met die visuele parateks en die talige parateks verband hou.
Aan die hand van die konseptuele raamwerk van hierdie studie, en die verskillende rolspelers en boodskappe binne die paratekstuele en narratiewe kommunikasiesituasie, dui die studie aan hoe die parateks as narratiewe strategie gebruik kan word om kinder- en jeugliteratuur vir veral die primêre teikenmark meer toeganklik te maak.<br>This thesis sets out to illustrate how the paratext can be used as narrative strategy for accessibility in selected Afrikaans children’s and youth fiction. Central to this study is the accessibility of the message in the paratextual and narrative communication situation. In this regard, the central research question is as follows: how can the paratext be used as a narrative strategy to make children’s and youth literature more accessible for young readers?
Gérard Genette’s work on the paratext (1997a) and narratology (1983, 1990) serves as the theoretical basis for this study’s conceptual framework, along with the work of Mieke Bal (1991, 2009). In order to define accessibility in terms of the primary target audience, reference is also made to Jauss’s (1982) reception theory.
Within the context of this conceptual framework, focus is placed on the receivers, senders and message of the paratextual and narrative communication situation. The receivers are the readers of the paratext as narrative strategy for accessibility and are discussed as the primary, twofold and dual target audiences. The senders are the different writers involved in the creation and implementation of the paratext as narrative strategy for accessibility. Here a distinction is made between the primary writer, the second writer and the secondary writer. Lastly, the message is discussed as it relates to the visual paratext and textual paratext.
Through the conceptual framework of this study, along with the different role players and messages of the paratext as narrative strategy for accessibility, this study shows how the paratext as narrative strategy can be used to make children’s and youth literature more accessible for especially the primary target audience.<br>Le thisisi ihlose ukuveza ukuthi umbhalo ohunyushiwe ungasetshenziswa kanjani njengesu lokuxoxa emibhalweni ekhethiwe yesiBhunu yezingane kanye naleyo yabantu abasha .Okubalulekile kulesi sifundo socwaningo wukutholakala komlayezo wombhalo ohunyushiwe kanye nesimo sokuxhumana ngengxoxo. Ngalokho-ke, umbuzo oyinsika kulesi sifundo socwaningo ngolandelayo: Ngabe inkulumo ehunyushiwe ingasetshenziswa kanjani njengesu lokuxoxa, elingenza ukuthi imibhalo yobuciko yezingane kanye naleyo yabantu abasha ukuze itholakale kalula kubafundi abasebasha?
Umsebenzi kaGérard Genette i-paratext (1997a) kanye ne-narratology (1983, 1990) usebenza njengesisekelo sesakhiwo sebizo salesi sifundo socwaningo, kanti lokhu kuhambisana nomsebenzi ka MiekeBal (1991,2009). Ukuze siphumelele ukuchaza mayelana nokutholakala kwabafundi bezincwadi abahlosiwe, uyanxuswa ukuthi ufunde ithiyori emayelana nokutholakala kwabafundi bomlayezo ka Jauss (1982).
Ngaphansi kwesimo sesakhiwo segama, kugxilwe kakhulu kubamukeli, kubathumeli kanye nakumlayezo wombhalo ohunyushiwe kanye nesimo sokuxhumana ngengxoxo. Abamukeli bomlayezo kungabafundi bombhalo ohunyushiwe, okuyisu elisetshenziswa ukuthola umlayezo, kanti la masu axoxwa njengalawo aqonde abafundi bokuqala, abambaxambili futhi anezinhloso ezimbili.. Abathumeli bomlayezo kungabhali abadlala indima yokwakha kanye nokusebenzisa imibhalo ehunyushiwe njengesu lokuxoxa elisetshenziswa ukuthola umlayezo. Lapha, kuvezwa umehluko ophakathi kombhali wokuqala, umbhali wesibili kanye nombhali osezingeni lesibili. Okukugcina, umlayezo uxoxwa njengoba uhlobana nombhalo ohunyushiwe obukelwayo kanye nombhalo ohunyushiwe olotshiwe Ngokusebenzisa uhlelo lwesakhiwo segama salesi sifundo, esisebenzisana ndawonye nabadlali bendima abahlukahlukene kanye nemilayezo yombhalo ohunyushiwe njengesu lokuxoxa elisetshenziswa ukuthola umlayezo, lokhu kukhombisa ukuthi umbhalo ohunyushiwe oyisu lokuxoxa ungasetshenziswa kanjani ukwenza ukuthi imibhalo yobuciko yezingane kanye naleyo yabantu abasha ingatholakala kanjani, ikakhulukazi ngabafundi bokuqala abahlosiwe.<br>Afrikaans and Theory of Literature<br>D.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is mainly on Wole Soyinka as a dramatist. It aims to show that
Soyinka, far from being an irrelevant artist as some of his fiercest critics have
alleged, is a deeply committed writer whose works are characterised by a strong
sense of concern with basic human values of right and wrong, good and evil.
Furthermore, the dissertation shows that although Soyinka is not an admirer of
Marxist aesthetics, he is certainly not in the art-for-art's-sake camp either,
I
because he is fully aware of the utilitarian value of literature. Soyinka's works are
much influenced by his social and historical background, and the dissertation shows
that Soyinka's socio-political awareness pervades all these works, although it will
be seen that in the later plays there is a sharpened political awareness. Although
largely concerned with his own country's issues, Soyinka also emerges as a keen
observer of humanity universally<br>English Studies<br>M.A. (English)

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse entend proposer une analyse originale du phénomène connu mais polémique que constitue l’introduction de la notion d’auteur dans la littérature de langue française au Moyen Âge. Il s’agira d’essayer de contribuer à repenser la signification poétique, culturelle et historique de ce moment particulier où l’auteur – c’est-à-dire l’attribution d’un texte ou d’une série de textes à un nom propre donné – s’est imposé pour la première fois comme un critère structurant et primordial dans la production et surtout la transmission des textes de langue française dans les manuscrits médiévaux. Usant du concept foucaldien de fonction-auteur, des théories de la réception et du paratexte, ainsi que de la « Nouvelle Codicologie », l’approche déployée ici aborde l’auteur en tant que construction textuelle et éditoriale signifiante au sein d’un corpus de recueils littéraires de langue d’oïl où la volonté de construire des figures d’auteurs par les éditeurs de ces ouvrages est à la fois claire et indiscutable. Partie à l’origine d’un examen systématique de la tradition manuscrite d’environ 320 noms de poètes de langue d’oïl actifs entre 1100 et 1340, l’analyse se concentre principalement sur 25 manuscrits contenant des collections auctoriales dédiées à 17 poètes, dont le nom est associé avec insistance à une série de textes copiés les uns à la suite des autres. Parmi ces auteurs, on trouve les célèbres Chrétien de Troyes, Rutebeuf et Adam de la Halle, mais aussi Philippe de Thaon, frère Angier, Guillaume le clerc de Normandie, Pierre de Beauvais, Philippe de Remi, Gautier le Leu, Jacques de Baisieux, Geoffroi de Paris, Jean de l’Escurel, Baudouin de Condé, Jean de Condé, Watriquet de Couvin et Nicole Bozon.
La présente analyse tente de nuancer et de dépasser la lecture répandue selon laquelle ces manuscrits à collections auctoriales individuelles constitueraient, de concert avec les fameuses biographies de troubadours et les chansonniers de trouvères, souvent présentés comme leurs « ancêtres », les débuts balbutiants d’une vaste épopée de l’avènement de l’« auteur moderne », annonciateur tout à la fois d’une « subjectivité littéraire », d’une « esthétique autobiographique » et d’un contrôle accru des auteurs historiques, réels, sur la transmission manuscrite de leurs propres œuvres. Tout en offrant une mise à jour contextuelle et matérielle – données originales à l’appui – concernant la dimension collaborative de la genèse de ces recueils et le caractère modulaire de leur transmission, on montrera qu’ils sont le fruit d’un dialogue nourri avec le modèle livresque latin et pluriséculaire de l’auctor – qui est à la fois un auteur, un garant de la vérité (auctoritas) et un ambassadeur prestigieux de la grammaire –, ainsi qu’avec l’antique exemple d’œuvres dites « biobibliographiques », qui décrivent la vie et l’œuvre d’auteurs illustres et exemplaires, comme le fait le De viris illustribus de saint Jérôme. Les manuscrits étudiés usent à répétition de ce modèle ancestral de la biobibliographie (« la vie et l’œuvre ») pour mettre en scène un face-à-face entre auteurs de langue d’oïl et auctores. Or cette mise en regard s’avère d’autant plus intéressante que, contrairement à ce qu’on observe pour les troubadours, considérés très tôt comme de nouveaux auctores illustres en langue vulgaire, dignes de cautionner l’excellence de la poésie et de la grammaire d’oc, elle ne prend pas uniquement, en français, la forme d’une imitation ou d’une adaptation de modèles anciens. En fait, l’analogie avec les auctores donne lieu à des exercices savants, autoréflexifs et parfois ironiques sur la fabrique éditoriale, poétique et épistémologique du type d’auteur et d’auctoritas qui peuvent (ou non) être bâtis dans des recueils en langue d’oïl, idiome qui était encore dépourvu à l’époque (1100-1340) de véritable grammaire, et où fleurissaient en revanche les genres littéraires de divertissement comme le roman, où l’on explorait la porosité des frontières entre le vrai et le faux, entre le bien et le mal. Plus qu’un pas pris dans la direction d’un sacre inéluctable, l’« invention de l’auteur français » à laquelle procèdent les recueils étudiés est un geste pétri des incertitudes et des interrogations de ceux qui le posaient, et qui en mesuraient la profonde vanité au regard de Dieu et de la mort.<br>This thesis aims to provide an original analysis on an often studied yet controversial issue: the introduction of the notion of authorship in French language medieval literature. The objective here is to reconsider the poetic, cultural, and historical signification of the particular moment when the author – understood here as the attribution of a text or of a series of texts to a proper noun – first became an essential structuring criteria in the production, and more importantly, in the transmission of French-language texts through medieval manuscripts. Using Michel Foucault’s concept of fonction-auteur, theories of reception and of the paratext, as well as New Codicology, this thesis will consider the author as a signifying textual and editorial construction within several literary collections written in langue d’oïl, in which the editors clearly and undeniably sought to construct figures of the author. Based on the systematic examination of the manuscript tradition of approximately 320 names of langue d’oïl poets, who were active between 1100 and 1340, this analysis will focus primarily on 25 manuscripts containing authorial collections dedicated to 17 poets, whose names are strongly associated with a series of texts that are copied one after the other. Among these authors are the famous Chrétien de Troyes, Rutebeuf and Adam de la Halle, as well as Philippe de Thaon, frère Angier, Guillaume le clerc de Normandie, Pierre de Beauvais, Philippe de Remi, Gautier le Leu, Jacques de Baisieux, Geoffroi de Paris, Jean de l’Escurel, Baudouin de Condé, Jean de Condé, Watriquet de Couvin and Nicole Bozon.
This thesis attempts to question and ultimately discard the common conception according to which the manuscripts containing individual authorial collections constituted – along with the famous biographies of the troubadours and the chansonniers of the trouvères, often considered as their « ancestors » – the timid beginnings of the rise of the « modern author », himself a prequel to « literary subjectivity », « autobiographical aesthetics » and an ever stronger control exerted by actual empirical authors over the manuscript transmission of their own works. While offering contextual and material updates – supported by original data – regarding the collaborative process that went into the creation of these collections, as well as the modular aspect of their reception, this thesis will show that these collections were formed through a rich dialogue with the centuries-old latin model of the auctor – who is at once an author, a guardian of truth (auctoritas) and a prestigious ambassador of grammar –, as well as with the antique tradition of « biobibliographical » texts, dealing with the life and works of famous and exemplary authors, such as De viris illustribus, by saint Jerome. The manuscripts studied here repeatedly used this ancient model of biobibliography (« the life and works ») in order to stage a competition between authors writing in langue d’oïl and auctores. This confrontation is particularly interesting when one considers that – contrary to what may be observed in the case of the troubadours, who were quickly seen as the new illustrious vernacular auctores, worthy of vouching for the excellency of langue d’oc poetry and grammar – , we are not simply dealing here with a form of imitation or adaptation in French of ancient models. In fact, the analogy with auctores allows for autoreflexive and sometimes ironic learned exercises, dealing with the editorial, poetic and epistemological creation of the type of author and auctoritas in manuscript collections in langue d’oïl, an idiom which at the time (1100-1340) lacked a true grammar, yet was used in various literary genres meant for entertainment, such as romance, which explored the evanescent barriers between truth and lies, good and evil. Rather than a small step in the long path towards an inevitable coronation, the « invention of the French author » undertaken by these collections constitutes an action that reflects all the uncertainty and interrogations of those who undertook it, while being fully convinced of its utter vanity in the eyes of God and death.
