Criollo
No full textCriollo (Dir. Ross Birrell, 2017. Duration 6:59. HDV. Commissioned by documenta 14)
A solitary horse stands at the threshold to Central Park, New York framed by the lights and dawn traffic of 6th Avenue/Avenue of the Americas. The horse stands motionless, almost statuesque, its back to the Manhattan intersection. Only the ears move, attentive, scanning their sonic environment: yellow cabs, delivery trucks, early morning joggers braving the snow. The horse begins to walk and then disappears into the folds of Central Park. What is the agency of this solitary animal? Is it liberated, lost or abandoned? Is it an angel, apparition or gift? Is it a harbinger of unspecified change? Or envoy of a revolution to come?
Criollo is inspired by Tschiffely’s Ride (1933), an autobiographical account of a 10,000 mile equestrian journey from Buenos Aires to New York between 1925-1928 by Swiss-Argentine horseman Aimé Félix Tschiffely riding on two Argentine criollos, Mancha and Gato. The criollo is renowned throughout Latin America for its stamina, temperament and capacity for hard work. Criollo is a variant of creole, and holds associations of postcolonial culture, globalism and creolization.
The horse which appears in the film is a 6-year old criollo gelding named, Ahi Veremos Resero, who was raised on the estancia El Cardal, Ayacucho, Argentina. Ahi was donated by Oscar Solanet, the son of Dr Emelio Solanet, the veterinarian who donated Mancha and Gato to Tschiffely in the 1920s. The criollo was transported from Buenos Aires to New York via air and road transportation, and arrives in New York as an apparition: an animal-angel-messenger which appears and disappears in the half-light of a Manhattan winter dawn
The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy
No full textPhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist
angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H.
Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods
and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of
and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the
form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the
modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction
with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin,
this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a
modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European
and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens,
Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the
angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate
Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is
distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist
angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine
responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being,
specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of
intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the
Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or
evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and
suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous
limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature

Representation of an “Angel in the House” and “Fallen Woman” in Elizabeth Gaskell’ s Ruth
No full textSince a woman in Victorian England was expected to be a manager of household, there was a stereotype of Victorian woman called the “angel in the house”. There was also another stereotype of Victorian woman called “fallen woman”. As literature represents life, woman’s roles and stereotypes in Victorian are also reflected in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Ruth. The objectives of this study are to describe the representation of angel in the house and fallen woman in this novel and to describe social perspective and how the fallen character struggle to face and overcome the social construction surrounding her.

However, as fallen woman, she succeeds to struggle to get her position in society and becomes an honorable woman even though she has to die in the end of the novel
