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

Como embasamento teórico foram utilizados Gilbert e Gubar (1984), Donoghue (1969), Sewall (1963) e Daghlian(1987), dentre outros autores. O segundo capítulo tem como objetivo apresentar Augusto de Campos como poeta e como tradutor, com ênfase nos seus comentários sobre tradução, visando compreender sua prática tradutória. O terceiro capítulo analisa as traduções de sete poemas de Dickinson realizadas por Augusto de Campos e busca identificar a relação entre a teoria e a prática do tradutor. Essa análise, de caráter discursivo, além do plano formal e sintático, se concentra no plano semântico dos textos, tendo em conta que não possui a pretensão de realizar qualquer tipo de julgamento prescritivo.Abstract: This dissertation, from the perspective theoretical and practical of Augusto de Campos about the poetry translation, analyzes seven of his translations of the North-American poet Emily Dickinson, published in the book "Emily Dickinson: não sou ninguém", in 2008.

Gender and the politics of the gaze in Bronte's Wuthering Heights
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

Journeying through confidence: A grounded theory study exploring women’s confidence for birth
No full textSupporting women’s psychological needs during pregnancy is an important aspect of providing good quality maternity care. In an attempt to support women’s psychological wellbeing during pregnancy, a local National Health Service Trust, developed Confident Birthing Workshops. These workshops aimed to try and increase pregnant women’s confidence for birth. Research exploring childbirth self-efficacy, fear of birth and childbirth expectations suggests that women’s confidence for birth is likely to affect their long-term psychological wellbeing. However, there has not been any research exploring women’s confidence for birth. This PhD therefore aimed to develop a theoretical understanding of the factors that women perceive to influence their confidence for birth, during pregnancy. It is then hoped that the local National Health Service Trust can use this understanding to support the Confident Birthing Workshops. In order to develop a theoretical understanding of women’s confidence for birth, a constructivist grounded theory approach, using interviews and internet discussion forum data was taken. This data was subjected to grounded theory analysis and led to the development of a substantive ‘Journeying through confidence’ theory. The social processes within the theory are divided in to the following five categories: ‘Gathering and interpreting information while journeying through pregnancy’, ‘Relationship with pregnancy and baby’, ‘Preparing’, ‘Communicating’ and ‘Evaluating previous experiences’. The ‘Journeying through confidence’ theory, is the first theory to provide an understanding of the factors that women perceive to influence their confidence for birth, during pregnancy. This theory has resulted in several suggestions to improve clinical practice, such as, changing the approach that maternity services currently adopt when creating birth plans with women. Further research is needed to explore what factors women perceive to influence their confidence for birth during labour and the postnatal period
