    HELEN CALDWELL, CECIL HEMLEY AND THEIR DELIBERATIONS OVER DOM CASMURRO

    No full text
    Abstract Between September and December 1952, Helen Caldwell, who had just finished her translation of Dom Casmurro into English, and editor Cecil Hemley, who was preparing the publication of the book at the Noonday Press, kept up an intense correspondence. In reviewing the details of the translation, they also expressed their disagreements regarding the until-then prevailing interpretation of the novel, and in so doing set the ground for an alternative reading of the story about Bento Santiago and Capitu. In the letters airmailed between New York and Los Angeles, these two minds formulated the dilemma that would become the greatest commonplace derived from reading a literary text in Brazil: "In the end, did Capitu cheat on Bento or not?" Based on the correspondence between Helen Caldwell and her editor, and paying particular attention to the appended four letters presented in their original format, this article reveals how the interpretation that would change the reading of the most canonical book and author in Brazilian literature was forged.</p

    Get PDF
    Membaca autobiografi adalah membaca suatu peristiwa, memori dan kenangan yang dituliskan oleh pengarang tentang dirinya sendiri. Persitiwa- peristiwa tersebut lebih banyak mengabarkan tentang sebuah kebenaran subjektif daripada fakta yang sebenarnya. Itu dikarenakan pengarang sebagai subjek yang membaca masa lalunya menjadi tokoh utama dalam autobiografi. Hal ini dapat dikaji dan dibuktikan melalui beberapa aspek di dalam autobiografi. Ruang lingkup dari tulisan ini adalah bagaimana narrator dalam menarasikan cerita dapat membangun wacana dan berbicara langsung dengan narratee. Pengalaman- pengalaman yang diceritakan oleh narrator, identitas yang ditampilkan dan juga peran editor di dalam pembuatan autobiografi. Adapun tujuan dari tulisan ini adalah untuk mengimplementasikan teori Reading Autobiography yang digunakan untuk menganalisis The Story of My Life yang merupakan autobiografi dari Helen Keller. Metode yang digunakan dalam tulisan ini adalah metode penelitian kepustakaan dan metode pendekatan teori membaca autobiografi. Metode yang pertama digunakan untuk mengumpul data dan informasi dari sumber-sumber kepustakaan yang mendukung pembahasan. Metode yang kedua digunakan sebagai acuan utama dalam menganalisis aspek yang dominan dalam autobiografi. Hasil dari analisis menunjukkan bahwa teknik penceritaan yang digunakan oleh pengarang sangat mengesankan, baik dalam segi penceritaan “aku”, ideologi maupun konsep yang dimiliki banyak memproyeksikan tokoh sebagai tokoh yang sempurna secara fisik. Begitu juga pengalaman yang dialami tokoh sengaja dipilihkan pengalaman yang istimewa Selain itu, identitas yang ditampilkan oleh pengarang bertujuan mengkonstruksikan kesan dirinya seabagai pribadi yang baik kepada pembaca. Di samping itu, adanya peran John Macy sebagai editor di dalam pembuatan autobiografi adalah untuk kepentingan sosial. Hal ini dikarenakan John Macy membantu memproyeksikan Helen Keller sebagai tokoh utama yang hampir sempurna walau dengan keterbatasan fisik. Dia juga mampu membantu Helen dalam mengklarifikasi isu negatif yang berkembang pada masa itu

    Today’s guest is Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld. Mary Helen is an associate professor at Towson University in the Department of Health Sciences. Mary Helen is the author of one of the leading textbooks in the field of long-term care, Dimensions of Long-Term Care: An Introduction, and is a recognized leader in long-term care education nationally. In this podcast I talk with Mary Helen about her journey from an early interest in political science and international affairs to discovering the nascent field of health economics in the 80’s, and her transition to an interest in long-term care as a result of having to care for both her father and father-in-law when they suffered from debilitating terminal illnesses. Mary Helen makes a passionate case for long-term care, pointing out the economic opportunities for entrepreneurs, as well as young people looking for a meaningful and well compensated career. I hope you enjoy listening to Mary Helen’s story, and if you find it valuable, won’t you leave us feedback on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, or wherever you may be accessing this recording. It helps other people discover us. Thanks for listening, and here is Mary Helen McSweeney-Feld

    Get PDF
    Eleven letters have recently been added to the George Arents Research Library\u27s collection of Erskine Caldwell and Margaret Bourke-White correspondence. In the possession of Caldwell\u27s first wife, Helen Caldwell Cushman, until her death in 1986, these letters were bought from a North Carolina bookdealer acting on behalf of Helen and Erskine\u27s granddaughter. The entire group was written by Bourke-White in 1936, just prior to and immediately after her first tour of the South with Caldwell, during which they gathered material for You Have Seen Their Faces. A page of unsigned journal entries chronicling Bourke-White\u27s behavior on the trip accompanies the letters
