THE BEHAVIOUR PORTRAIT OF 1900s AMERICAN LADY BASED ON ENVY NOVEL BY ANNA GODBERSEN
Full text linkSeorang lady seharusnya memiliki sikap dan tutur kata yang baik sesuai dengan aturan-aturan yang ada sehingga bisa menjadi panutan masyarakat. Dalam skripsi ini, penulis tertarik untuk menganalisis bagaimana para lady era 1900an di Amerika justru menunjukkan sikap dan perilaku yang berlawanan dengan tata cara sebagai seorang lady. Penulis memilih sebuah novel karya Anna Godbersen berjudul Envy sebagai bahan penelitian.
Dalam membahas analisis dalam skripsi ini, penulis menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan, metode pendekatan eksponensial untuk membahas aspek intrinsik, dan teori mengenai tata cara berperilaku para lady Amerika untuk membahas aspek ekstrinsik. Penelitian kepustakaan yang digunakan adalah pengambilan sumber dari buku-buku terkait di perpustakaan dan berbagai sumber lainnya melalui internet. Aspek intrinsik yang dianalisis adalah tema, karakter, latar, plot, dan konflik, sedangkan untuk teori tata cara berperilaku sebagai seorang lady dalam aspek ekstrinsik, penulis menggunakan metode pendekatan feminisme.
Berdasarkan analisis yang ada, penulis menemukan bahwa Elizabeth dan Diana Holland, Penelope Hayes, dan Carolina Broad hanya ingin mendapatkan apa yang mereka dambakan dan pada prosesnya mereka lupa bahwa mereka bukan perempuan biasa yang tidak boleh sembarangan berbicara ataupun berperilaku seenaknya sendiri. Mereka menggunakan segala cara untuk mendapatkan apa yang mereka inginkan tanpa memandang bagaimana pandangan masyarakat. Sehingga muncullah berbagai rumor tentang mereka. Selain rumor, hidup merekapun juga semakin rumit karena mereka mengutamakan keinginan mereka dan lupa untuk bertingkah laku seperti layaknya seorang lady
Katherine Jones, Lady Ranelagh (1615-91): science and medicine in a seventeenth-century Englishwoman’s writing
Full text linkKatherine Jones, better known to scholars as Lady Ranelagh, was one of the most eminent, politically influential and intellectually respected women in seventeenth-century England. By the time of her death in 1691, she had the rare honour of having been esteemed by every ruler and his government from Cromwell to William and Mary. She was active in diverse intellectual networks across most of the seventeenth century, including the Great Tew Circle, the Hartlib Circle, and the ‘invisible college’, and was associated with many Fellows of the Royal Society during the first three decades of the Society’s existence. As pious as she was intellectually dexterous, Lady Ranelagh elicited respect and admiration from a group of contemporaries who were remarkably diverse in their political opinions, religious views and social status.
Over the past decade, there have been several brief surveys of Lady Ranelagh’s life and works; this, however, is the first doctoral thesis to focus exclusively on her. By drawing on over one hundred of her letters and three receipt books associated with her, together with references to her in the diaries of her contemporaries and extant letters written to her, this study contextualises her medical and scientific writings in contemporary religious and socio-political thought. By manipulating generic conventions and employing a rhetoric of modesty, Lady Ranelagh presented her intellectual contributions in a manner appropriate for a gentlewoman. Her extant manuscripts make Lady Ranelagh a representative case study of how women could participate in the radical medical and scientific advances of seventeenth-century England. This interdisciplinary approach creates an informed conversation between two subjects which rarely interact — history of science and medicine, and early modern women’s literature — to consider the material practice and social networks of a remarkably important, but hereunto almost ‘lost’, woman
Is that girl a monster? : some notes on authenticity and artistic value in Lady Gaga
Full text linkThis article will discuss a specific reading of Lady Gaga's image as something new and provocative in pop and celebrity culture. Since the release of The Fame Monster (2009), arguments for the postmodern 'subversiveness' of Gaga have emerged both in music journalism and scholarly writing. Such claims surprise me for one basic reason: the extent to which Gaga's star persona is related, in many media texts, to specific discourses about the cultural and social value of music. For this reason I will deliberately ignore the visual texts on which 'postmodern' readings usually rely (for example, Gaga's music videos), and will look at the discourses that emerge in Gaga's interviews, analysing one particularly long piece from the online music site Noisevox (Norris 2009). This example clearly shows the construction of a biographical narrative that relies on quite distinctive notions of authenticity. Drawing on Frith (1998), authenticity can be defined as a series of statements of truth about the value of music. More specifically, I am referring to what have been called a 'romantic discourse' about music as a non-mediated expression of the self, and a 'folk discourse' about music as cultural expression of a community (Frith 1998, pp. 21–46). Overall, I want to underline that more extensive studies on Lady Gaga should not ignore this discursive rhetoric, as it frequently re-frames Gaga's visual and allegedly postmodern ethos
