The 'true use of reading' : Sarah Fielding and mid eighteenth-century literary strategies.
No full textPhDThe aim of this thesis is to explore, by examining her life and
works, how Sarah Fielding (1710-68) established her identity as an author.
The definition of her role involves her notions of the functions of
writing and reading.
Sarah Fielding attempts to invite readers to form a sense of ties
by tacit understanding of her messages. As she believes that a work
of literature is produced through collaboration between the writer and
the reader, it is an important task in her view to show her attentiveness
toward reading practice. In her consideration of reading, she has two
distinct, even opposite views of her audience: on the one hand a familiar
and limited circle of readers with shared moral and cultural values and
on the other potential readers among the unknown mass of people. The
dual targets direct her to devise various strategies. She tries to
appeal to those who can endorse and appreciate her moral values as well
as her learning. Her writings and letters testify that she is sensitive
to the demands of the literary market, trying to lead the taste of readers
by inventing new forms.
The thesis opens with an overview of Sarah Fielding's career,
followed by a consideration of her critical attention to the roles of
reading. I go on to examine the narrative structures and strategies
she deploys, with a particular emphasis on her use of the epistolary
method. The following chapter deals with her attention to the reading
of the moral message tangibly embodied in her educational writing. It
is followed by an analysis of the activity which earned her a reputation
as a learned woman. Various as the forms of her works are, they invariably
reflect her attempt to balance herself between the two demands of
inventiveness and familiarity

Sarah Fielding: Satire and Subversion in the Eighteenth-Century Novel
No full textThis study of Sarah Fielding (1710―68) is an original contribution to Fielding scholarship that has a dual purpose: to support those who are striving to re-introduce her to the modern literary landscape in an effort to restore her eighteenth-century literary standing, and to firmly establish Fielding as an early feminist writer. It is argued here that throughout her oeuvre Fielding challenged prevailing traditions that denied women a choice, particularly in education, employment and marriage. These themes are also considered in the political treatises of Mary Astell (1666―1731) and Mary Wollstonecraft (1759―97), who are now widely recognised as feminist writers.
It is further argued that Fielding’s subversion in fiction of the English patriarchal system is underscored by her unorthodox performance in the literary arena. This is fully explored alongside her use of sentimentalism as a literary tool with which she challenges her seemingly inhumane society. Fielding’s interest in ‘the Labyrinths of the Mind’ (in modern terms, human psychology) will also be addressed as will her placement in the history of feminism and her placement in the sentimental novel tradition. Fielding’s performance as a literary critic will be compared with the few female authors who, like her, dared to publish literary criticism during her writing career. Accordingly, extracts from Fielding’s novels and her two critical pamphlets will be thoroughly examined.
An updated biography of Fielding that is also included here will provide evidence for a further claim, that her fiction is autobiographical in part. A comprehensive account of Fielding’s performance as a literary critic forms the final chapter of this work. It is the first full-length examination of her contribution to the genre and includes an appraisal of her recently unearthed critical pamphlet entitled A Comparison Between the Horace of Corneille and The Roman Father of Mr. Whitehead (1750) that is yet to be formerly attributed to her. Ultimately this study of Fielding will go far beyond what has previously been written about this remarkable eighteenth-century author, particularly regarding her feminist activity
Dessiner d’après la bosse à Lyon
No full textLa première véritable école artistique lyonnaise est l’École gratuite de dessin, créée en 1756. Elle doit former aussi bien des artistes que des dessinateurs de fleurs pour l’industrie locale de la soie. En 1807 naît l’École impériale des beaux-arts de Lyon qui voisine avec le musée des Beaux-Arts au palais Saint-Pierre. Après plusieurs déménagements et une réorientation profonde dans les années 1970, l’École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon se fixe sur le site des Subsistances, quai Saint-Vincent, en 2007. Au xixe et au xxe siècles, plusieurs établissements d’enseignement professionnel artistiques se développent à Lyon, en parallèle avec l’École des beaux-arts. Les tirages en plâtre constituent des outils pédagogiques de premier ordre pour ces formations basées sur le modèle académique mais leur provenance, leur nombre, leurs modèles, leur répartition sont aujourd’hui méconnus. Il reste cependant un fonds de plusieurs centaines de tirages conservés par l’ENSBA. Une partie est actuellement conservée au musée des Moulages de l’université Lumière-Lyon-2. Cet article propose de donner un aperçu de l’histoire matérielle des plâtres ayant été utilisés à Lyon pour l’enseignement du dessin, de tenter d’en comprendre les enjeux pédagogiques et économiques. Cette étude permettra d’une part de recenser, localiser et comprendre l’origine des vestiges existants dans un souci de patrimonialisation, d’autre part d’évaluer l’importance et la spécificité des collections lyonnaise dans un cadre plus large.The first real art school in Lyon is the Free Drawing School, created in 1756. This school had to train both artists and draughtsmen who would be drawing flowers for the local silk industry. The École impériale des beaux-arts de Lyon was opened in 1807, next to the Fine Arts Museum at the Palais Saint-Pierre. After moving several times and undergoing a radical reorientation in the 1970s, the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Lyon settled on Les Subsistances, next to the Quai Saint-Vincent. During the 19th and 20th centuries, many professional art teaching establishments were developed in Lyon, in addition to the School of Fine Arts. The plaster casts are first-class pedagogical tools for these teachings based on the academic model, but their origins, their number, their models and their distribution are now poorly known. However, there remains a gallery of hundreds of casts kept by the ENSBA. A part of it is now kept at the Musée des Moulages of the Lumière-University Lyon-2. This article aims to offer a preview of the material history of the plaster casts that were used in Lyon to teach drawing, and to understand their pedagogical and economical stakes. This study will allow on one hand us to count, localise and understand the origins of the existing vestiges for work of national heritage, and on the other, to evaluate the importance and the specificity of the Lyon collections on a wider scale

Introducing social and sustainable enterprise: changing the nature of business
No full textThis chapter introduces the volume, Social and Sustainable Enterprise: Changing the Nature of Business, which is edited by Sarah Underwood, Richard Blundel, Fergus Lyon and Anja Schaefer. The book draws together contemporary research contributions that seek to critically explore a range of issues in the specific context of social enterprise, sustainable entrepreneurship and social responsibility. Collectively, the chapters in this volume consider the challenges facing social enterprises globally, their environmental impact and the difficulties for policy makers in their efforts to tackle complex international environmental problems. The volume contributors draw on a range of research themes, methodological approaches and international contexts to enhance our understanding of the meaning, critical nature and value of social and sustainable enterprise development. Thus, this volume speaks directly to the core objectives of this book series by providing an opportunity for the ISBE [Institute for Small Business and Entrepreneurship] community of interest to challenge current thinking and create a research agenda for future inquiry
