No full textHamilton, Catherine Jane [pseud. Retlaw Spring] (1841-1935), author and journalist, was born on 25 January 1841 at Kilmersdon, Somerset, where she was baptized on 12 April 1841, the younger of two daughters of Richard Hamilton (1805?-1859), vicar of Kilmersdon, and his wife Charlotte, née Cooper (1809-1882), the fifth daughter of William Cooper, of Queens County, Ireland.

He had been a bright scholar with an aptitude for languages, and as a preacher was praised for his powerful sermons and his ability to bring the Bible to life for his parishioners

Gender and the politics of the gaze in Bronte's Wuthering Heights
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2009.O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar uma análise de como a imagem de Catherine é moldada pelo olhar masculino, como ela enfrenta os três tipos de olhar - o olhar dos personagens, o olhar do leitor, e o olhar do autor - e finalmente, se o olhar masculino é interrompido. O parâmetro teórico desta análise, o conceito do olhar masculino, é teorizado por Laura Mulvey no artigo "Prazer Visual e Cinema Narrativo" (1975) o qual critica a relação entre o olhar masculino e a imagem feminina do prazer visual moldado pela sociedade patriarcal. Através da crítica de Mulvey do prazer visual generizado em filmes, que pertence ao contexto do cinema clássico de Hollywood, articulo sua teoria em relação ao romance Wuthering Heights de Emily Brontë para examinar a dinâmica do olhar masculino em relação à personagem feminina Catherine. Este estudo teve também por objetivo analisar o quanto o paradigma teórico de Mulvey produzido para cinema poderia ser aplicado especificamente em um texto literário escrito no século XIX.The objective of this thesis is to present an analysis of whether Catherine's image has been shaped by the male gaze, how she contends with the three looks of the male gaze - the look of the characters, the look of the reader, and the look of the author - and finally, how the male gaze is broken. The theoretical parameter of this analysis, the concept of the male gaze, is theorized by Laura Mulvey in the article "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" (1975) which critiques the relation between the male gaze and the female image within the patriarchal molding of visual pleasure. Borrowing Mulvey's critique of the gendering of visual pleasure in films, which pertains to the context of classical Hollywood cinema, I have articulated her theory in relation to Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, to examine the dynamics of the male gaze regarding the female character, Catherine. This study also aimed at examing the extent to which Mulvey's theoretical paradigm produced for cinema could be articulated specifically in relation to a literary text written in the nineteenth century

Novel Dialogue 1.4: Feral Fiction: Catherine Lacey and Martin Puchner (JP)
No full textNovel Dialogue sends Martin Puchner (polymathic author of The Written World and most recently The Language of Thieves) out to speak with Pew author Catherine Lacey. They go a-wandering. Lacey's earlier works include a 2018 collection of short stories, Certain American States, and two novels: The Answers in 2017 and 2014's Nobody is Ever Missing, a delightful road novel set in New Zealand-always a sure way to win John's admiration. Martin starts by noticing the feral through-line in Catherine's work, a way that people escape or withdraw from socialization. And things go rapidly uphill and downhill from there. In short a rollicking rhythm prevails-you may want to listen while out rambling yourself. Even though Catherine proclaims "we are all housecats now.
Reviving Northern Paiute legacy materials using ELAN
No full textArchived at the University of Nevada-Reno Special Collections department are the collected field materials of the late Sven Liljeblad, a Swedish folklorist who first arrived in the area of Fort Hall, Idaho in the 1940s. In work that spanned four decades, he recorded and made meticulous notes of a range of Northern Paiute and Shoshoni dialects, as well as Nez Perce. His slip files served as the primary source for the newly-published Northern Paiute-Bannock Dictionary (Liljeblad, Fowler, and Powell 2012). There remain many hours of audio recordings on various media—wire, gramophone, vinyl disc, and reel-to-reel—as well as notes, miscellany, and transcriptions in various states of completion. Most of the collection lacks basic metadata, leaving annotations and recordings in disparate areas of the archive without the benefit of cross-referencing.
This paper reports on progress toward linking the audio recordings of just one body of materials—those of Northern Paiute storyteller, Pete Snapp (92 years old at the time of the ~1963 recordings)—to the available transcriptions and translations using EUDICO Linguistic Annotator (ELAN). In so doing, conceptually linked elements from different places in the archive are time-aligned in an XML format that can be archived alongside the digitized version of the audio files. One goal has been to preserve the integrity Liljeblad's work while making it accessible for in-depth study of the language by both linguists and community activists. Part of this process has involved developing tiers (annotations) for the original transcriptions, translations, and footnotes associated with the Pete Snapp Tales, while adding tiers for native listener responses, intonation units, and other previously unannotated elements of the recordings.
The content of the Tales includes both traditional and historical narratives of great value to the community. An overarching goal of the project is to facilitate access to that content for members of the community. Only 13 of the more than 30 tales recorded from Pete Snapp have been found to carry any annotation whatsoever. This material has been incorporated into our ELAN database and will become a permanent part of the Liljeblad collection. The next obvious step in the digital re-documentation process will be to provide more complete annotations for all the Tales, with the help of native speakers and local technical assistants, and to migrate the materials into a searchable database from which lexical and grammatical information can be found and used.
