    Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em LiteraturaHelena Kolody, carbono & diamante - uma biografia ilustrada conta a vida da escritora Helena Kolody, a partir de sua inscrição na literatura, questionando sua identidade, o mundo que a cercava e o sentido de sua existência. Equivale a dizer: em sua lírica, reflexões e sentimentos se entretecem a partir de uma matéria pessoal e localizada. Da estação ferroviária à estação tubo; da Ucrânia ao centro de Curitiba; de Paisagem interior a Reika; do século XIX ao século XXI, a literatura de Helena Kolody gerencia sua presença na consolidação do binômio arte-vida. O retrato da autora acaba se constituindo também por meio de farto aparato iconográfico; pelos mais de quinhentos textos críticos elencados e por sua obra completa. Fragmentação deliberadamente assumida, a pessoa se revela em sua inteireza.Helena Kolody, carbon & diamond - an illustrated biography tells the life of Helena Kolody, from her very insertion in literature, as it questions her identity, the world surrounding her, and the meaning of her existence. That is equivalent to saying that in her poetry there is the intermingling of reflections and feelings that derive from personal and localized material. From the railroad station to the tube-shaped bus stops; from Ukraine to downtown Curitiba; from Paisagem interior to Reika; from the nineteenth century to the twenty-first century, Helena Kolody's literature guarantees her presence in the consolidation of the art/life binomial. The portrait of the author ends up by also being made up of an abundant iconographic apparatus, of the over five hundred critical texts listed, and of her complete work. The person, although deliberately accepting her own fragmentation, reveals herself in her entireness

    Transient observations : the textualizing of St Helena through five hundred years of colonial discourse

    No full text
    This thesis explores the textualizing of the South Atlantic island of St Helena (a British Overseas Territory) through an analysis of the relationship between colonizing practices and the changing representations of the island and its inhabitants in a range of colonial 'texts', including historiography, travel writing, government papers, creative writing, and the fine arts. Part I situates this thesis within a critical engagement with post-colonial theory and colonial discourse analysis primarily, as well as with the recent 'linguistic turn' in anthropology and history. In place of post-colonialism's rather monolithic approach to colonial experiences, I argue for a localised approach to colonisation, which takes greater account of colonial praxis and of the continuous re-negotiation and re-constitution of particular colonial situations. Part II focuses on a number of literary issues by reviewing St Helena's historiography and literature, and by investigating the range of narrative tropes employed (largely by travellers) in the textualizing of St Helena, in particular with respect to recurrent imaginings of the island in terms of an earthly Eden. Part III examines the nature of colonial 'possession' by tracing the island's gradual appropriation by the Portuguese, Dutch and English in the sixteenth and early seventeenth century and the settlement policies pursued by the English East India Company in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century. Part IV provides an account of the changing perceptions, by visitors and colonial officials alike, of the character of the island's inhabitants (from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century) and assesses the influence that these perceptions have had on the administration of the island and the political status of its inhabitants (in the mid- to late twentieth century). Part V, the conclusion, reviews the principal arguments of my thesis by addressing the political implications of post-colonial theory and of my own research, while also indicating avenues for further research. A localised and detailed exploration of colonial discourse over a period of nearly five hundred years, and a close analysis of a consequently wide range of colonial 'texts', has confirmed that although colonising practices and representations are far from monolithic, in the case of St Helena their continuities are of as much significance as their discontinuities

    Cape-�Helena: An exploration of nostalgia and identity through the Cape Town -� St. Helena migration nexus

    No full text
    Magister Artium - MA (History)In the following two chapters I will attempt to offer a more systemic account of St. Helena immigration to South African between 1838 and 1948. To date, no such study has been undertaken, despite a vibrant oral tradition amongst the descendants of St. Helena immigrants celebrating their St. Helenian heritage and often, in peculiar fashion, romanticise their Island of provenance. The commencement date for my chosen timeframe emerges from a need to authenticate rather tenuous historical accounts of St. Helena�s first mass emigration for the Cape of Good Hope in 1838. Where cases of migration are discussed, these are either incidences of large-�scale 41, often aided, migration and settlement, or of those St. Helena migrant workers initially employed under temporary contacts to work in South Africa, specifically within burgeoning industrial sectors of the late-�nineteenth or early-�twentieth century South Africa

    An online conversation between artist Rachel Epp Buller and Helena Reckitt, moderated by Salina Art Centre curator Gretchen Boyum, on the occasion of Epp Buller's exhibition and residency, 'Taking Care.' Speakers discussed aspects of duration, intimacy, relationality, and exchange in feminist art broadly and Epp Buller's work in particular. The discussion touched on historically 'female' cultures of letter-writing, embroidery and sampling, and on intimacy, art making and art viewing in the current context of the COVID 19 pandemic
