Catharine Macaulay
No full textCatharine Macaulay was an eighteenth-century British historian whose writings were characterised by strong republican sympathies. She was best known in her own time as the author of The History of England from the Accession of James I to the Elevation of the House of Hanover, a work published in eight volumes over the course of twenty years. Macaulay also produced a number of occasional pamphlets – philosophical tracts and political ripostes to the likes of Edmund Burke – as well as a lengthier treatise, Letters on Education, in the last years of her life. Nevertheless, she was perhaps just as well known for events in her personal life as for her literary accomplishments. The circumstances surrounding her ..
Catharine MacKinnon e o sexo como dominação
Get PDFThe article discusses the work of feminist legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon and, in particular, her radical rejection of the liberal notion of “consent”. For the author, sexuality is an expression of male dominance; indeed, it reveals itself as “eroticization of domination”. In such society, there is no possibility of autonomous agency for women. We must undo the work of the internalization of dominant values, so that a genuine feminine consciousness can emerge. This is the backdrop of her controversial views on rape, pornography, prostitution or abortion. The article concludes that, while illuminating important aspects of domination, she simplifies in excess the discussion of autonomy in social agency.O artigo discute a obra da jurista feminista Catharine MacKinnon e, em particular, sua recusa radical à noção liberal de “consentimento”. Para a autora, a sexualidade é a expressão da dominação masculina; de fato, ela se revela como “erotização da dominação”. Numa sociedade assim organizada, não há possibilidade de agência autônoma para mulheres. É necessário desfazer o trabalho de introjeção dos valores dominantes, para que uma consciência feminina genuína possa emergir. Este é o pano de fundo das polêmicas posições de MacKinnon sobre estupro, pornografia e prostituição. O artigo conclui que, embora ilumine aspectos importantes da dominação, ela simplifica em excesso a discussão sobre a autonomia na agência social
Louisiana Voyages The Travel Writings of Catharine Cole
No full textWhen nature exudes in a swamp in Louisiana it is rich, tropical, juicy, dark, verminy, repellant and lovely all in one," wrote Catharine Cole in 1889. "It is like a coffin crowned with flowers; a death trap baited with roses." Writing under the pseudonym Catharine Cole, Martha R. Field (1855-1898) became the first full-time newswoman for the New Orleans Daily Picayune in 1881. For more than a decade she was the woman's page editor and wrote a Sunday column, "Catharine Cole's Letter," that established her as one of the most popular writers in the South. Cole wrote fiction, essays, editorials on women's issues, and travel pieces. But her accounts of journeys through Louisiana's rural parishes by rail, steamboat, carriage, buggy, and on foot brought her writing to the state's working men and women as well as its plantation aristocracy. Louisiana Voyages: The Travel Writings of Catharine Cole gathers these travel writings for the first time. Touring most of Louisiana's parishes, taking in New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette, Morgan City, and Grand Isle, Cole revealed in her journalism much about an exotic, unspoiled Louisiana and the Gilded Age South as a whole. A punishing 1,800-mile buggy trip through forests, swamps, bayous, and along the Gulf Coast made her a celebrity writer who, according to her contemporaries, "knew more about Louisiana than any other person alive." Joan B. McLaughlin is a retired associate professor of English at Clemson University. Her work has appeared in Contemporary Literary Criticism, Concerning Poetry, Arizona Quarterly, South Carolina Review, and other periodicals. Jack McLaughlin is a retired professor of English and humanities at Clemson University.

Marije u Zadru. U inventaru su jasno naznačeni prostorni položaj, veličina, prihodi i koloni na posjedima ženskoga benediktinskog samostana sv.

The Swedish Translations of Catharine Maria Sedgwick's Works : A Correction
No full textThe works of American writer Catharine Maria Sedgwick (1789-1867) were widely read in nineteenth-century Britain and other parts of Europe and her early novel Redwood (1824) was translated into several languages, including French, German, and Swedish. However, in these translations her fellow American James Fenimore Cooper was named the author. At the time, the origin of translated works was often obscured as translators removed or changed the names of authors and sometimes made extensive changes in the content of the text. A closer look at the works of Sedgwick translated into Swedish serves as a case in point, as library databases suggest that three of her novels were translated into Swedish, but, ... </p
Reflection, Nature, and Moral Law: The Extent of Catharine Cockburn's Lockeanism in her <i>Defence of Mr. Locke's</i> Essay
No full textThis essay examines Catharine Cockburn's moral philosophy as it is developed in her Defence of Mr. Locke's Essay on Human Understanding. In this work, Cockburn argues that Locke's epistemological principles provide a foundation for the knowledge of natural law. Sheridan suggests that Cockburn's objective in defending Locke's moral epistemology was conditioned by her own prior commitment to a significantly un-Lockean theory of morality. In exploring Cockburn's views on morality in terms of their divergence from Locke's, the author hopes to underscore the extent of Cockburn's intellectual independence and her philosophical creativity.</jats:p
