HENRY JAMES’ VIEW ABOUT AMERICAN CULTURE AS REPRESENTED BY DAISY MILLER IN DAISY MILLER (GENETIC STRUCTURALISM APPROACH)
Full text linkABSTRACT
Daisy Miller is one of James’ novels that talks about cultural gap. There
are many cultural conflicts between American and European. The researcher had
formulated three problem statements as follows: (1) How are the cultural
differences in Daisy Miller? (2) How does the society in Daisy Miller view
Daisy Miller? (3) How does Henry James view American culture as
represented by Daisy Miller in Daisy Miller?
In order to answer the questions, the researcher used genetic structuralism
approach by Lucien Goldman to analyze Daisy Miller, because genetic
structuralism is used to find the world view of the author toward his novel. There
are three aspects to be correlated in genetic structuralism, i.e. the novel itself,
biography of the author, the social condition when the novel was created. The
researcher also had to find the previous novel and novel after Daisy Miller which
have the same theme and correlated them with Daisy Miller. By the combination
of the aspects above, the researcher could find Henry James’ view about
American culture as represented by Daisy Miller in Daisy Miller.
There were three findings in this research: First, the researcher found that
there are cultural differences between America and Europe. In Daisy Miller Henry
James presents the Americans who had settled in Europe lived in a luxurious life.
It can be seen from their life style. They stayed from one hotel to another and they
liked to hold parties. The Millers family brought a private tutor to teach Randolph,
Daisy’s brother. It was very expensive to bring a private tutor from America to
Europe; but James presents the society to show that it was a rich and high-class
society. Daisy Miller was a visitor in Europe. She brought the pure American
culture. The conflict appeared when she was considered to break the rules in
Europe such as walking in the night with a man.
Second, the researcher identified the view of society to Daisy Miller. The
characters in Daisy Miller were: (1) Frederick Winterbourne. He was a young
American who had lived and schooled in Geneva. He sometimes judged Daisy as
a good girl, but in other time he considered her as a bad girl. (2) Mrs. Costello.
She is American but with European air. She looked down the Millers family
because of their new money, unsophisticated conduct, and intimacy with their
courier. (3) Mrs. Walker. She exemplified the values of the formal American but
with European air similar to Mrs. Costello. (4) He was an Italian man. He
considered Daisy just as natural and innocent girl. (5) Mrs. Miller. She was
Daisy’s mother. She was the opposite of a higher class European mother, because
she allowed her daughter to do as she liked.
Third, the researcher found that Henry James presents Daisy Miller as the
representation of American culture. Daisy’s characteristics are: (1) Freedom. (2)
Naturalness. (3) Innocence. (4) Purity. Henry James takes the American culture a
little higher than European culture. He also considers that two different cultures
can live together in one community comfortably as long as the member of society
respects each other
Stain removal, shopping and social responsibility: Aunt Daisy, New Zealand’s first multi-media celebrity, 1933 -1960
Full text linkFor over thirty years Maud Basham was a New Zealand food writer and media personality who, under the name of ‘Aunt Daisy’, exerted an immense and unparalleled influence over domestic behaviour, household spending and pantry stocks. So prominent was she, that she was named a ‘Goodwill’ ambassador for New Zealand and made several visits to the USA during and after WWII where she was described as ‘The Dynamo from Down Under’. Best known in popular memory as a radio personality, Aunt Daisy wrote regular magazine columns, also fifteen cookery books and books of handy hints, which combined nonfiction and fictional components, and included tips for recycling products as well as readings, quotations and sayings which she found inspiring. By focusing on these innovative texts, this paper will look at how the voice, personality and attitudes of the ‘first lady of New Zealand radio’ are embodied in nonfiction prose to create texts that are still popular, in print, and on sale in the twenty-first century
Methods and Techniques for the Access of Persons With Visual Impairments to Handbooks and Textbooks
Full text linkThe transformation of learning materials in an accessible format for blind students allows them to access texts and graphics. This access was not possible before considering the past technologies. The Daisy format represents an accessibility standard that permits the visually impaired person to listen an audio book as a person without disability. In this way, the visually impaired person can listen the audio book according to its content and/or pages. The usage of this format enables to develop new approaches in the process of teaching and learning, not only for visually impaired students but also for visually impaired teachers. The Daisy format proved to be efficient in the educational area also for children with learning difficulties.
