Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer
No full text‘Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer’ is a critical and creative answer to the question: How do we construct Anne Shirley, and what does she mean to us? This creative research submission is a work of fanfiction, specifically a mash up based on Anne of the Island, L.M.M. Montgomery’s sequel to Anne of Green Gables. In this short work of fiction (under 4 thousand words) Anne is revealed as a changeling, one of the Faerie Folk, and also a being not strictly male or female; sometimes neither, sometimes both. The mash up is based on the last two chapters of Anne of the Island, the scenes in which Gilbert Blythe is seriously ill and Anne realises she loves him. This realisation causes Anne, in this version, to reveal to Gilbert that she is both non-human and not a girl, and to use Faerie magic to save Gilbert’s life. Anne’s revelation causes Gilbert a great relief, as he has been keeping a secret also - that he too is queer. The piece has an accompanying research statement and reflection, that reflects on the ways the contributor/author interprets Anne, as a being troubled by gender, and not strictly gender conforming. The much-loved scene from Anne of Green Gables in which Anne realises she is not wanted by the Cuthberts because she is not a boy is inserted into the mash up (as a memory) as this scene is the principal cause for the contributor’s identification with Anne as a gender non-conforming figure who resists gender expectations. Overall, this creative and critical work and reflection queers both Anne as a character and the Anne of the Island novel.Book chapter - work of fiction with a critical reflective essa
Alan Cameron and the Symmachi
No full textÈ questa un’indagine sui numerosi contributi che, dal 1964 al 2013, Alan Cameron ha dedicato ai Symmachi, per verificare la validità dei risultati delle sue ricerche. Attraverso l’approfondimento di questioni storico-letterarie già presenti negli studi giovanili – quali l’esistenza o meno del ‘circolo di Simmaco’, l’autonomia letteraria di Ammiano Marcellino, l’equazione tra cultura letteraria e paganesimo, l’identità culturale e religiosa dell’aristocrazia romana tardoantica, la natura fittizia e la datazione nel V secolo dei Saturnalia di Macrobio – Alan Cameron ha profondamente innovato la nostra conoscenza di una delle casate più rilevanti della nobiltà romana del IV-VI secolo. Egli ha trovato cospicui indizi prosopografici per dimostrare che la famiglia dei Symmachi, da O. Seeck considerata appartenente alla recente aristocrazia di servizio costantiniana, vantava antenati di rango consolare già nella seconda metà del III secolo; ha cooperato all’esegesi delle opere di Quintus Aurelius Symmachus, in particolare del suo epistolario (fissando punti fermi sulla pubblicazione dei vari libri), in quanto fonte essenziale per il suo rapporto con Nicomachus Flavianus Senior e con il vescovo Ambrogio; ha ricostruito il contesto religioso, sociale e letterario in cui operò il padre di Simmaco, Lucio Aurelio Avianio ed i suoi figli, con interessanti approfondimenti sull’uso dei dittici d’avorio, che a suo parere solo impropriamente sono tuttora definiti ‘consolari’.This is a survey of the numerous contributions that, from 1964 to 2013, Alan Cameron has devoted to the Symmachi, in order to verify the validity of the results of his research. Through the in-depth examination of historical-literary questions already present in his early studies - such as the existence or not of the 'circle of Symmachus', the literary autonomy of Ammianus Marcellinus, the equation between literary culture and paganism, the cultural and religious identity of the late Roman aristocracy, the fictitious nature and fifth-century dating of Macrobius' Saturnalia - Alan Cameron has profoundly innovated our knowledge of one of the most remarkable family of the fourth-sixth century Roman nobility. He has found conspicuous prosopographical clues to show that the Symmachus’ family, considered by O. Seeck to be from the recent Roman aristocracy, boasted ancestors of consular rank as early as the second half of the third century AD. He cooperated in the exegesis of the works of Quintus Aurelius Symmachus, in particular of his epistolary (establishing some fixed points on the publication of the various books), as an essential source for his relationship with Nicomachus Flavianus Senior and with the Bishop Ambrose; he reconstructed the religious, social and literary context in which Symmachus' father, Lucius Aurelius Avianus, and his sons worked, with interesting insights into the use of ivory diptychs, which in his opinion are still only improperly defined as 'consular diptychs'

A sojourn in Paris 1824-25: sex and sociability in the manuscript writings of Anne Lister (1791-1840)
No full textThis thesis examines the day to day practices that constituted Anne Lister's (1791-1840) sexuality and sociability within the range of her writings, as well as her society. Anne's writings were a detailed account, spanning her lifetime, of her own love and relationships with the 'fairer sex' (Whitbread 1988, 145). Anne's sociality, seen in her correspondence and plain handwritten journal entries, has been explored by Muriel Green in Miss Lister of Shibden Hall and Jill Liddington in Female Fortune and Nature's Domain (Green 1992; Liddington 1998; 2003). As a gentlewoman of adequate means, Anne has garnered some attention from women's historians interested in her agency within an early nineteenth century social and historical context. Anne's sexual identity has been extensively analysed over the past nearly twenty years by lesbian feminists, queer theorists, women's historians and historians of sexuality concerned with the history and development of modern Western female homosexuality and gender. The source for theorising Anne's sexuality has been the edited selections of the crypted journal entries, published by Helena Whitbread in I Know My Own Heart and No Priest but Love (Whitbread 1988; 1992). However, many analyses deal either with the theorisation of Anne's sexuality or her sociality; the theoretical difficulty with reconciling these categories has troubled the analysis of her complex subjectivity. Drawing upon the archival materials, I have used an interdisciplinary feminist approach to analyse the sexual and social processes of Anne's everyday interactions in her writings. Taking the seven month period of the sojourn to Paris in 1824-25, I have focused upon Anne's textual practices within her journal volume and letters during her residence in Paris, her social practices with the other guests at the guesthouse 24 Place Vendome and her sexual practices with her lover, the widow Mrs. Maria Barlow. The journal volumes and correspondence are a valuable historical record of one gentlewoman's engagement with early nineteenth century British culture
