Emily Brontë : the mind of a visionary
No full textBibliography: leaves 216-226.This dissertation is an investigation of the visionary and philosophical aspects of Emily Brontë's works. The first five chapters deal with the visionary process such as visions, spirit guides, dreams, imagination, encounters with the darker side of the self and a union with the divine. There is considerable evidence of these mystical avenues in both her poetry and in Wuthering Heights which have been explored. It is shown how Emily Brontë's mysticism is a direct result of personal experiences which augment her reputation as one of the leading mystics in the world of literature. There are however tensions in her works, such as the cynicism of her own intellect in accepting the visionary experiences as authentic and periods of suffering when her faith is tested. These tensions have been considered within the context of her mystical encounters and philosophy. The remaining four chapters deal with the philosophy of Emily Brontë per se. Her beliefs in respect of heaven and hell, mercy and justice, power and survival, and pantheism are considered in depth. It is argued that she is an unorthodox thinker who does not believe in an eternal hell and that she has drawn inspiration for this idea from Frederick Maurice and Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is also shown how issues of power have been of interest to her from a young age and how this needs to be integrated within her philosophy. To the writer power needs to be tempered by compassion if it is to be of use to society or the individual. Her pantheistic spirit is also investigated and related to the mystical ideas

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

Femenine vindication in Emily Brontë y Anna L’Estrange’s narrative: Isabella Linton y Margaret Earnshaw’s case.
No full textEn este trabajo partimos del concepto de diseminación cultural brontëana,
acuñado por Stoneman en 1995 en el que los lectores de Wuthering Heights
han propuesto nuevas versiones cinematográficas, musicales o secuelas
literarias. En 1977, Anna L’Estrange publica su propia sequela de la novela
de Emily Brontë, Return to Wuthering Heights. En este estudio se pretende
realizar un estudio comparativo de dos personajes femeninos en la narrativa
brontëana. Más detalladamente, analizaremos al personaje de Isabella
Linton en Wuthering Heights (1847) y posteriormente nos centraremos en
el paralelismo de la historia de Margaret Earnshaw en la continuación
propuesta por L’Estrange (1977). Ambas escritoras unen las dos historias a
través del personaje de Heathcliff y su sucesor, Jack. E. Brontë se centra en
el personaje de Isabella Linton que sufre maltrato físico y verbal. También
L’Estrange, denuncia socialmente el maltrato y la violación a la que debe
enfrentarse el personaje de Margaret Earnshaw. El propósito de este estudio
es analizar la indefensión social a la que deben enfrentarse estos dos
personajes femeninos y descubrir como ambas autoras pretenden
reivindicar el papel de la mujer en la sociedad y denunciar la violencia de
género a través de la narrativa.The present work analyzes the phenomenon of Brontëan cultural
dissemination, coined by Stoneman in 1995 in which the readers of
Wuthering Heights have proposed new film, musical or literary sequel
versions. In 1977 Anna L’Estrange publishes her own sequel to Emily
Brontë's novel, Return to Wuthering Heights. This study aims to carry out a
comparative study of two female characters in the Brontëan narrative. In
more detail, we will analyze the character of Isabella Linton in Wuthering
Heights (1847) and later we will focus on the parallelism of Margaret
Earnshaw's story in the continuation proposed by L’Estrange (1977). Both
writers link the two stories through the character of Heathcliff and his
successor, Jack. E. Brontë focuses on the character of Isabella Linton, who
suffers physical and verbal abuse. L’Estrange also socially denounces the
mistreatment and rape that the character of Margaret Earnshaw must face.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the social defenselessness that these
two female characters must face and discover how both authors intend to
claim the role of women in society and denounce gender violence through
narrative

The Benefits of Being Economics Professor A (and not Z)
No full textAlphabetic name ordering on multi-authored academic papers, which is the convention in the economics discipline and various other disciplines, is to the advantage of people whose last name initials are placed early in the alphabet. As it turns out, Professor A, who has been a first author more often than Professor Z, will have published more articles and experienced afaster growth rate over the course of her career as a result of reputation and visibility. Moreover, authors know that name ordering matters and indeed take ordering seriously: Several characteristics of an author group composition determine the decision to deviate from the default alphabetic name order to a significant extent.performance measurement, incentives, economists, name ordering
