Mindscapes: Laura Riding's poetry and poetics /
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Esta tese propõe uma leitura revisionista da poesia contemporânea através do exame do caso de um dos mais esquecidos escritores norte-americanos do século XX: Laura (Riding) Jackson (1901-1991). O objetivo é demonstrar que Riding não apenas possuía uma poética definida e singular, mas que ela permanece uma das instâncias mais extremas e paradoxais do modernismo anglo-americano, a ponto de Riding abandonar a escrita da poesia em 1938. Recorrendo a conceitos de "formação do cânone" bem como às noções de "discurso" e "função do autor", em Foucault, investigo a construção do cânone da poesia moderna anglo-americana, recuperando o contexto e as circunstâncias da ocultação de Riding. Enquanto cubro os "discursos" poéticos em circulação na primeira metade do século XX-o "imagismo" de Pound, a "dissociação da sensibilidade", "impersonalidade" e "tradição" de Eliot, a "unidade orgância" e "ambigüidade" da Nova Crítica-ofereço um panorama crítico de modernismos alternativos sendo articulados à época. Minha intenção é demonstrar que os poemas de Riding são expressões vigorosas de um escritor para quem "a mente pensando se torna a força ativa do poema", para usar a apta formulação de Charles Bernstein. Entre minhas descobertas sobre as várias e complexas razões que levaram à não-canonização de Riding estão a hegemonia da Nova Crítica, o exílio voluntário de Riding da cena literária (onde são feitas ou desfeitas as reputações), sua recusa em ser antologiada, bem como em ser explicada em termos críticos que não os dela. Todos esses fatores, mais a "dificuldade" de sua poesia, contribuíram para fazer de Riding "a maior poeta esquecida da poesia norte-americana", como escreveu Kenneth Rexroth. Ajudado pelos insights de dois importantes críticos de poesia norte-americana, Charles Bernstein e Marjorie Perloff, defendo que a "poesia da mente" de Riding-onde o que está em jogo é que o que pensamos ser a nossa realidade-representa uma mudança radical no paradigma da poética modernista: de uma poesia centrada na imagem para uma poesia centrada na linguagem. Focalizando a experiência consciente e o tempo duracional do pensamento presente em seus poemas, concluo que as "pensagens" de Riding têm o objetivo preciso de constatar um fato universal: enquanto seres humanos e pensantes, estamos numa condição permanente chamada linguagem

Tudor women writers fashioning masculinity
No full textThis thesis contributes to the growing interest in early modern masculinity and its literary representations by introducing texts by women writers into dialogue with their male-authored counterparts. It argues for a more nuanced approach that recognises that the concepts of masculinity and femininity can only be fully understood when studied in relation with each other.
The first chapter explores how, notwithstanding the wisdom of conduct books and marriage guides, the demands of the state may not always be commensurate with those of the domestic realm and shows that this conflict necessitates a rethinking of existing definitions of masculinity by focusing on selected writings of the Tudor sisters Mary and Elizabeth and Jane Fitzalan’s *Tragedie of Iphigeneia*. The second chapter identifies how Elizabeth’s unique discursive strategies were designed to elicit support from her male subjects and subdue the belligerence that simmered under polemic like John Stubbs’ *Gaping Gulf*. In her letters to Anjou, the chapter examines how Elizabeth manoeuvred around her position as a beloved and as a monarch to fashion a husband who would not only be sympathetic but also subordinate to her political authority. This chapter also shows how the fabulous world of John Lyly’s *Galatea* consummates the Queen’s desire for the ideal male subject. The final chapter investigates the construction of martial manhood. It juxtaposes Mary Sidney’s *The Tragedy of Antonie* with William Shakespeare’s *Antony and Cleopatra* to determine how the figure of Cleopatra, common to both plays, challenges and revises the martial code of masculinity as embodied by Antony. By examining the authorial position appropriated by Cleopatra in the plays and its impact on the narrative, this chapter also extends this thesis’ interest in the extent to which female characters within texts compete for diegetic control with male protagonists
The translation of the Spanish subjunctive in Como agua para chocolate by Laura Esquivel and Like Water for Chocolate translated by Carol and Thomas Christensen.
No full textThis study provides solutions and alternatives to the problem of translating the Spanish subjunctive into English by examining its translation in a Spanish language text, Como agua para chocolate (1989) by the Mexican author Laura Esquivel and the English translation Like Water for Chocolate (1993) by Carol and Thomas Christensen. The original text uses the dialect of northern Mexico during the early twentieth century as fictionalized by a late twentieth-century author. Chapter one reviews the history of translation theory. Chapter two examines existing theories on the Spanish subjunctive. Chapter three categorizes and discusses the instances of the Spanish subjunctive found in both texts. The last chapter will suggest conclusions based on the results of the study. Three appendices organize the data. Appendix A sorts the instances of the Spanish subjunctive by chapters. Appendix B sorts the instances of the Spanish subjunctive by clauses. The third appendix contains interviews with native speakers on the subject of translation

Funcionamiento familiar y resiliencia en padres de familia que enfrentan el impacto de la pandemia COVID-19, Cascas - La Libertad, 2020
No full textEl objetivo de la investigación es determinar si existe relación significativa entre funcionamiento familiar y resiliencia en padres de familia que enfrentan el impacto de la pandemia COVID-19, Cascas - La Libertad, 2020. La muestra estuvo conformada por 183 padres de familia de la ciudad de Cascas. El diseño es cuantitativo no experimental, correlacional de corte transversal. Se usaron dos instrumentos: la Escala de Evaluación de Cohesión y Adaptabilidad Familiar (CESF) de Olson, Portner y Lavee, adaptada en principio al español por Grupo Lisis de la Universidad de Valencia y, a su vez, para este estudio, adaptada con criterio de jueces en padres adultos; la otra fue la escala Breve de Afrontamiento Resiliente (BRC) de Sinclair y Wallston, adaptada en España por Moret, Fernández, Civera, Navarro y Alcover de la Hera (2015) y adaptada en Perú por Caycho, Ventura, García, Domínguez, Daniel y Arias (2018) y adaptada con el criterio de jueces en padres adultos. Los resultados mostraron correlación significativa entre la variable funcionamiento familiar y resiliencia (r=.407, p<.05); de la misma manera, se visualizaron las correlaciones en las dimensiones resiliencia y vinculación emocional (r=.411, p<.05); además en resiliencia y la dimensión flexibilidad (r=.256, p<.05); en síntesis, existe el 5% de significancia en relación directa entre el funcionamiento familiar y resiliencia en padres de familia.LIMAEscuela de PosgradoPsicología positiv
Women's life writing 1760-1830 : spiritual selves, sexual characters, and revolutionary subjects
No full textPhDThis thesis uses print and manuscript sources to analyse and interpret women's life
writing at the end of the eighteenth and beginning of the nineteenth centuries. I
explore printed works by Catharine Phillips, Mary Dudley, Priscilla Hannah Gurney,
Ann Freeman, Elizabeth Steele, Mary Robinson, Helen Maria Williams, Mary
Wollstonecraft, Grace Dalrymple Elliott, and Charlotte West and discuss the
manuscripts of Mary Fletcher, Mary Tooth, Sarah Ryan, and Elizabeth Fox. Of these
sources, five have never been analysed in the critical literature and six have received
little attention. Considered as a group, this large corpus of texts offers new insights
into the personal and political implications of different models of female selfhood and
social being.
In chapter one, I compare the religious identities presented in the spiritual
autobiographies of Quakers and Methodists. For these women, religious identification
provides a powerful sense of social belonging and enables public participation.
However, it may also lead to a loss of self in the demand for religious conformity and
self-abnegation. In chapter two, I consider the life writing of late eighteenth-century
courtesans. These women adapt available models of femininity and female authorship
in order to establish themselves as socially connected subjects. However, their
narratives also reveal that dependence on the sexual and literary marketplace puts
female selfhood under pressure. In chapter three, I explore the eyewitness accounts of
British women in the French Revolution. I argue that, for these writers, connecting
personal identity to political history is an enabling source of self-definition but it also
exposes them to the risks of self-fragmentation.
In my focus on the social function of women's life writing, I present an alternative to
the traditional alignment of the eighteenth-century autobiographical subject with the
autonomous self of individualism. These narratives allow us to reconsider the
productive and problematic dialectic between personal expression and representative
selfhood, self-authorship and collective narratives, and individualism and social
being. They suggest that women's life writing has the potential to be both the self-expression
of a unique heroine and the self-inscription of a politicised subject
