Manifestations of the grotesque in Angela Carter's love and wise children
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e ExpressãoEsta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar o emprego do grotesco, segundo as teorias de Wolfgang Kayser e Mikhail Bakhtin, em dois romances de Angela Carter: Love (1971) e Wise Children (1991). O primeiro capítulo caracteriza o "grotesco trágico", de acordo com a definição proposta por Wolfgang Kayser, bem como o "grotesco cômico", a partir do estudo de Mikhail Bakhtin. A seguir, analisa-se Love, tendo como foco de análise a trágica perspectiva de vida da protagonista do romance, a partir da descrição detalhada de seu comportamento. Neste capítulo, fica claro que o tipo de grotesco utilizado prioriza o grotesco romântico, ou trágico, assim descrito por Kayser, através da paródia do tema do amor romântico/trágico que está comprometido com o texto autenticamente "Romântico" de Edgar A. Poe. No terceiro capítulo apresenta-se a análise de Wise Children identificando-se o tom cômico empregado pelo narrador com o "grotesco cômico", assim descrito por Bakthin, focalizando-se basicamente em dois aspectos: o riso, e a velhice. A partir daí, sugere-se que houve uma modificação no emprego do grotesco cômico, ou seja, em Carter o uso do grotesco cômico reflete a ambigüidade inerente ao seu tempo, e não mais a certeza de transformação presente na interpretação Bakhtiniana do grotesco. Na conclusão, chama-se atenção para o fato de que uso dos dois tipos de grotesco identificados por Kayser e Bakhtin sofrem modificações, em Carter, que servem para demonstrar as mudancas sofridas pelo emprego contemporâneo do grotesco na narrativa

Food and eating in fiction since 1950 with particular reference to the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis.
No full textPhDEating is a fundamental activity. What people eat, how and with whom, what
they feel about food, what they do or do not want to eat and why - even who
they eat - are of crucial significance in any reading of human behaviour.
In this thesis, I consider the diverse and complex uses of food and eating
in fiction since 1950, especially that written by women. I argue both that food
and eating carry much of the meaning of a novel or story and that the acts of
cooking, feeding and eating depicted are inseparable from issues of power and
control: individually, interpersonally, culturally, politically.
My discussion centres on the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing,
Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory,
sociology, anthropology, Foucault, Bakhtin and others, the thesis aims to
construct an interdisciplinary perspective which both resists reductive
interpretations and emphasises the centrality, complexity and diversity of food
and eating in literature in our culture.
I begin with an examination of the ambiguities of maternal feeding and
nurturing, moving on to explore the links between appetite, eating and sexuality.
I explore cannibalism and vampirism as manifestations of oppression, but also as
indicating insatiable emptiness and transgressive appetite. The body itself is
crucial, and my argument considers the paradox of not eating as
control/enslavement, also tracing self-starvation as a positive route towards
wholeness and connection. The last part of my argument focuses on social
eating, examining conventions, rituals and food itself in connection with power
relations, and finally considers how we might truly speak of food and eating in
the context of society as a whole
Intersecting Axes: Narrative and Culture in Versions of the Lizzie Borden Story (A Performative Approach)
No full textThis thesis examines versions of the story of 32-year-old New Englander Lizzie Andrew Borden, famously accused of axe-murdering her stepmother Abby and father Andrew in 1892. Informed by narrative and feminist theories, INTERSECTING AXES draws upon interdisciplinary, contemporary re-workings of Judith Butler’s concept of “performativity” to explore the ways in which versions of the Lizzie Borden story negotiate such themes as repetition and difference, freedom and constraint, revision and reprisal, contingency and determinism, the specific and the universal. The project emphasizes and embraces the paradoxical sense in which interpretations are both enabled and constrained by the contextual situation of the interpreter and analyzes the relationship between individual versions and the cultural constructs they enact while purporting to describe.
Moving away from symptomatic reading and its psychoanalytic underpinnings to focus upon the interpretive frames by which our understandings of Lizzie Borden versions (and of narrative/cultural texts more broadly) are shaped, this project exposes the complex performative processes whereby meaning is created. The chapters of this thesis offer contextual readings of a short story by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, a ballet by Agnes de Mille, a made-for-television by Paul Wendkos, and a short story by Angela Carter to argue for the theoretical, political, narratological, cultural, and interpretive benefits of approaching the relationship between texts and contexts through a uniquely contemporary concept of performativity, bringing a valuable new perspective to current debates about the intersection of narrative and culture
