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
Fitzgerald, modernism, and race
No full textIn her essay, “Gertrude Stein and the Difference She Makes,” Toni Morrison situates Stein as a precursor to Euro American modernism in her deployment of an “Africanist” other. In the “Melanctha” section of Three Lives (1909), Stein makes therapeutic use of race in a fictionalisation of her own unhappy love affair that employs the mask of blackness by which to negotiate emotion and experiment with form through appropriation of African American vernacular. Morrison emphasises how the characteristics of modernism are dependent on racial categories for modernism’s delineations of power, gender and identity. Taking Morrison’s analysis of the uses of race and “Africanism” in the development of American writing as a starting point, I then consider the relation between race and the Euro-American modernist aesthetic and its links with F. Scott Fitzgerald’s writing. Stein’s experiment with African American voice and character is integral to her modernism. F. Scott Fitzgerald, a writer of what he himself termed “The Jazz Age,” engages with modernist musical traditions and deploys the “Africanist” other but, importantly, also problematises whiteness. Here then, my aim is to explore the role race plays as Fitzgerald, as Morrison noted in “The Foreigner’s’ Home,” “heroically struggled to delineate the ground of belonging and exile, to tirelessly probe its moral cues”. The chapter includes discussion of both Toni Morrison’s and Ralph Ellison’s reflections on jazz and how, as indicative of the African American presence and as an expression of the modernist experience, jazz music functions metaphorically as being reflective of chaos in Fitzgerald’s literary imaginings of American life

Heritage tourism: a case study of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Heritage Site at Pepin, Wisconsin
No full textPlan BMany things must be taken into consideration when developing a heritage tourism site. It can be a wonderful opportunity for the community involved to benefit economically and historically. Heritage tourism can keep alive the heritage and traditions of the communities past. When it is discovered that a heritage site exists, the first step is to consult with the community. A site will not succeed without the acceptance and assistance from the community involved. Once the interest is known, the development process can proceed. After determining that there is a heritage tourism site possibility in their area, a commumity must do research to determine the feasibility of the site, what will make it a success, and how to obtain that success. This study will examine a community with a heritage tourism site that has been successful in developing and maintaining it's site. By conducting this study, other communities seeking information for developing their site will have an example and tool to work with. The site chosen for this study is the Laura Ingalls Wilder site in Pepin, Wisconsin. The town is rich with it's heritage associated with Laura Ingalls Wilder. The development and success for this town will be documented through this study. Laura Ingails Wilder is a perfect choice for examining heritage tourism. The author of many American Pioneer books, she has become famous all over the world. In turn all places that she or her family members lived are or are becoming heritage tourism sites. There are older ones that have been in progress for some years, such as the one in Pepin, and there are ones that are being discovered through the popularity of new books written about Laura's family. These communities would benefi greatly from the information this study will produce. Without the bene-fit of this knowledge communities who are unaccustomed to tourism or the way the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites operate, may make terrible errors in development, tarnishing the site. This may also reflect badly on the other Laura Ingalls Wilder sites. It is important for new Wilder sites to examine all information and know exactly what they are doing when developing the site. If all the Laura Ingalls Wilder sites can benefit from each other's knowledge and experience it will greatly increase the market for all sites. The more detailed and expansive the sites are about their knowledge and sites to see, the more people are going to want to travel to as many sites as possible, learning all they can about the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family. These sites not only attract Laura Ingalls Wilder fans but all people that are interested in the American Pioneer period of the United States history. This study will provide the knowledge for communities who are developing heritage tourism sites, especially those focusing on Laura Ingalls Wilder. This is a very important study for tourism and especially heritage tourism. When a heritage site is discovered communities run into the barrier of not having the experience and knowledge to develop the site properly. This study will analyze tourism in Pepin, Wisconsin to determine it's successfulness due to the fact that it is a Laura Ingalls Wilder heritage tourism site, and Wfit was developed in a way to provide tourists with a view of Laura Ingalls Wilder's past and the past of many Pioneer Americans. By studying this subject it will allow for many people to benefit. Tourist who are seeking the pleasure of the knowledge of the past, and communities who want to preserve their past and profit from tourism

F. Scott Fitzgerald: Women and His Dreams
No full textScott Fitzgerald\u27s mother Mollie, his first love, Ginevra King, and his wife, Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald, were the three women who had the most formatie influence on his fiction. His experiences with them dominated his views of love, women, and dreams. He also consistently used these three women as character models for his fictional women. In this thesis I will show how Fitzgerald used these women to create his fictional world in four of his novels: This Side of Paradise, The Beautiful and Damned, The Great Gatsby, and Tender is the Night. These works also capture the disappointments Fitzgerald suffered as a result of his dreams of women. In the worlds that Fitzgerald created for his characters, men often idealize women and are then devastated when they discover that their dreams of women are intangible illusions. Fitzgerald\u27s men believe in their self-created illusions of women because the illusions, or dreams, are preferable to realistic insight into themselves and love. However, as Fitzgerald\u27s male characters found, placing idealistic dreams on another person inevitably leads to disappointment
