    Bibliography: leaves 211-217.This study provides a more intensive reading of certain works by Doris Lessing set in Southern Africa than has yet been attempted, and reads them,• for the first time, in conjunction with a particular literary lineage within Southern African letters, the novel of education by white women. The works by Lessing chosen for discussion are: two short stories, "The Old Chief Mshlanga" (1951) and "Sunrise on the Veld" (1951), the first two volumes of the Children of Violence series, Martha Quest (1952) and A Proper Marriage (1954), and Lessing's autobiographical account of a return visit to Rhodesia in 1956, Going Home (1957). Those by the other Southern African women writers--all of which, with the exception of Gordimer's The Lying Days have received virtually no critical attention to date--are: Nadine Gordimer's The Lying Days (1953)', Jillian Becker's The Virgins• (1976), Carolyn Slaughter's Dreams of the Kalahari (1981), Lynn Freed's Home Ground (1986), E.M. / MacPhail's Phoebe and Nio (1987), and Menan du Plessis's A State of Fear (1983)

    Chuquiraga spinosa Lessing (ChS) has shown protective effect on N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (NMU)-induced prostate cancer in rats. Currently, statins are being studied for their pro-apoptotic and antimetastatic effects. The main objective of this research was to determine the protective effect associated with the oral administration of simvastatin and ethanolic extract of the aerial parts of ChS in the prevention of prostate cancer

    Food and eating in fiction since 1950 with particular reference to the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis.

    PhDEating is a fundamental activity. What people eat, how and with whom, what they feel about food, what they do or do not want to eat and why - even who they eat - are of crucial significance in any reading of human behaviour. In this thesis, I consider the diverse and complex uses of food and eating in fiction since 1950, especially that written by women. I argue both that food and eating carry much of the meaning of a novel or story and that the acts of cooking, feeding and eating depicted are inseparable from issues of power and control: individually, interpersonally, culturally, politically. My discussion centres on the writing of Angela Carter, Doris Lessing, Michele Roberts and Alice Thomas Ellis. Drawing on psychoanalytic theory, sociology, anthropology, Foucault, Bakhtin and others, the thesis aims to construct an interdisciplinary perspective which both resists reductive interpretations and emphasises the centrality, complexity and diversity of food and eating in literature in our culture. I begin with an examination of the ambiguities of maternal feeding and nurturing, moving on to explore the links between appetite, eating and sexuality. I explore cannibalism and vampirism as manifestations of oppression, but also as indicating insatiable emptiness and transgressive appetite. The body itself is crucial, and my argument considers the paradox of not eating as control/enslavement, also tracing self-starvation as a positive route towards wholeness and connection. The last part of my argument focuses on social eating, examining conventions, rituals and food itself in connection with power relations, and finally considers how we might truly speak of food and eating in the context of society as a whole

Der Begriff des ästhetischen Mitleids ist in diesem Kontext über die Tragödienrezeption die Betrachtung von Wahrnehmung und Wirkung der Tragödie definiert. Im Zentrum steht die Frage nach der Bedeutung des ästhetischen Mitleids und seiner Beschränkung durch die Tragödienkatharsis. Dazu werden drei Konzeptionen ästhetischen Mitleids vorgestellt. Der an Aristoteles orientierten Mitleidstheorie Lessings müssen zwei Ansätze aus verschiedener Zeit zugrunde gelegt werden: Der Briefwechsel über das Trauerspiel mit Moses Mendelssohn und Friedrich Nicolai aus den Jahren 1756/57 und die Ausführungen über Furcht und Mitleid im 74.-78. Stück der Hamburgischen Dramaturgie . Die Arbeit vertritt die These, dass zwischen beiden Konzeptionen ein Entwicklungszusammenhang besteht, der mit dem Einfluss Rousseaus verständlich gemacht werden kann. Lessing gibt schließlich eine Tragödiendeutung, die gerade über ihre moralischen Intentionen das ästhetische Mitleid auf spezifische Weise charakterisiert. Gegen Lessings Interpretation der aristotelischen Katharsis wendet sich Jacob Bernays. Seine Grundzüge der verlorenen Abhandlung des Aristoteles über Wirkung der Tragödie sind erstmals 1858 veröffentlicht worden. Auch mit dieser Schrift liegt eine Poetik- Interpretation vor. Bernays betrachtet das Tragödienmitleid als pathisches Phänomen, behauptet aber dennoch die ästhetische Perspektive seiner Untersuchung. Vor allem Friedrich Nietzsche hat auf diese pathologische Tragödieninterpretation reagiert. Mit seiner Schrift Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik (1872) liegt so die These der Arbeit eine vollendete Theorie des ästhetischen Mitleids vor. Gerade in der Reaktion auf Bernays formuliert Nietzsche ein ästhetisches Konzept, das neben der pathischen Wirkung des Mitleids die ästhetische Wahrnehmung des Theaterzuschauers ins Zentrum stellt. Die abschließende Darstellung der Beurteilung des Euripides durch Lessing, Bernays und Nietzsche veranschaulicht noch einmal die Unterschiede ihrer Mitleidskonzeptionen.Susanne Lawrenz s dissertation examines the phenomenon of aesthetic pity current since Aristotle s Poetics. In the Aristotelian context, the concept of aesthetic pity is defined in terms of reception: the act of watching tragedy, on the one hand, and the affect generated by the tragic work, on the other. The study focuses on the significance of aesthetic pity and its limitations through tragic catharsis and further delineates its object by presenting three models of aesthetic pity: those of Lessing, Bernays and Nietzsche. While Aristotelian influence is evident in Lessing s theory, two additional contexts further undergird his model: Lessing s correspondence with Moses Mendelssohn and Friedrich Nicolai concerning the tragedy (1756/1757) and Lessing s reflections on pity and fear in sections 74 to 78 of Hamburgische Dramaturgie. As the study argues, the reception of Rousseau links the development of these concepts. The interpretation of tragedy that Lessing ultimately offers particularly characterizes aesthetic pity in terms of moral intentions. It is this concept of Aristotelian catharsis that Jacob Bernays explicitly opposes. His Grundzüge der verlorenen Abhandlung des Aristoteles über Wirkung der Tragödie (1858) also offers an interpretation of the Poetics. Bernays views aesthetic pity as a pathic phenomenon, while at the same time asserting the aesthetic perspective of his inquiry. It is most particularly Friedrich Nieztsche who reacted to the pathological interpretation of tragedy. As the study argues, the theorization of aesthetic pity finds its culmination in Die Geburt der Tragödie aus dem Geiste der Musik (1872). Through his reception and critique of Bernays, Nietzsche formulates an aesthetic concept that in addition to considering the pathic dimension of pity also places the aesthetic reception of the audience at the center of his account. The study concludes with Lessing s, Bernays s and Nietzsche s divergent analyses of Euripides which serve to highlight the differences in their conceptions of aesthetic pity

    Of Textual Bodies and Actual Bodies: the Abjection of Performance in Lessing's Dramaturgy

    No full text
    Proceeding from the observation that Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's famous Hamburgische Dramaturgie (Hamburg Dramaturgy) soon abandons the analysis of actual performances in favour of a discussion of character, the article explores Lessing's problematic relationship with the performing body, situating it in the context of an increasingly textual culture. It shows the implications of this move in terms of gender prescriptions before discussing Lessing's ‘disgust’ with a particular performance of his Emilia Galotti. Reading this example with Lessing's treatise Laokoon and drawing on Julia Kristeva's theory of abjection, it argues that Lessing's struggle with the performers reveals a profound crisis in subject formation in the sense that the disturbing corporality of the performing body is always threatening sympathetic identification. The article concludes that the Dramaturgie itself constitutes an ‘abjection’ of performance. A postscript opens up the view onto the contemporary relevance and refiguration of Lessing's Laokoon in the Laokoon Festival in Hamburg
