'The cracked mirror': Anne Sexton's poetics of self-representation
No full textThis thesis re-evaluates the work of the poet Anne Sexton (1928-1974), concentrating, in particular, on the indeterminacies, contradictions and aporia which it finds to be characteristic of her ostensibly frank and self-revelatory writing. The study is based on a close textual
analysis of Sexton's writing, is informed by oststructuralist theories, and is sustained by an
examination and discussion of archive collections of her previously unpublished papers. In seeking an understanding of Sexton's poetics, the thesis identifies and interrogates the strategies of denial and obfuscation apparent in her own explication of her work - principally, by scrutiny of the unpublished, and previously unresearched, drafts of a series of lectures
which she delivered in 1972. Chapters One and Two consider the origins of `confessional' or - Sexton's preferred term - 'personal' poetry and reassess her place within contemporary poetry. They suggest that
Sexton's writing is engaged in a process of negotiation and contestation, both with the boundaries and expectations of confessionalism, and with the strictures of T. S. Eliot's theory of `impersonality'. In support of these arguments, Chapter Two offer a reading of Sexton's
little-known poem, `Hurry Up Please It's Time', alongside its intertext, Eliot's The Waste Land. Chapter Three reassesses received views of the supposedly beneficial interrelationship between confessional speaker and reader. It examines Sexton's appropriation of dramatic
masks and personae and her use of metaphors of striptease and prostitution, and suggests that these are employed simultaneously to appease and to repel an intrusive audience. Similarly, Chapters Four and Five trace Sexton's problematisation of two previously-accepted tenets of confessional poetry: its status as autobiography and its truthfulness, drawing attention to the techniques employed in order to give the impression of both. Chapter Six considers Sexton's
problematic engagement with a language which is not malleable, transparent, and referential but, rather, is experienced as uncooperative and occlusive. Finally, the thesis recuperates Sexton from the common charge of narcissism, arguing that it is the writing, rather than the poet, which is self-reflexive and self-conscious. In this respect, it concludes that her work - perhaps unexpectedly - anticipates many of the tendencies of postmodernist writing

Rice requires flooding for healthy growth, and drought reduces yield by 22 million tons. Plants’ inherent sessile nature requires that they must respond to their environment as opposed to leaving it; thus, a crops’ ability to effectively withstand unpredictable environmental conditions directly impacts our food stores. SR1, a transcription factor, regulates expression of over 3,000 genes in the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, during stress response. Molecular and genetic techniques, coupled with bioinformatics will reveal the action of this chief regulator in the world’s second leading staple grain

Anne Shirley do século XXI: a adaptação da personagem na série Anne With An E
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2021.Este é um estudo sobre a personagem Anne Shirley, protagonista de Anne of Green Gables (1908), da autora canadense L. M. Montgomery, tal qual adaptada na série Anne With an E (2017), de Moira Walley-Beckett, produzida pelo canal canadense CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) e transmitida pela plataforma de streaming Netflix. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo central analisar os principais recursos audiovisuais adotados para a introdução da personagem no episódio-piloto da série, baseando-se em noções de adaptação propostas por Julie Sanders (2006), Deborah Cartmell (1999), Brian McFarlane (1996) e, sobretudo, Linda Hutcheon (2013). Como metodologia para a construção dessa análise, foram selecionados três recursos audiovisuais de adaptação largamente presentes no primeiro episódio da série: flashback, enquadramentos em primeiro plano (ou close) e falas de efeito enunciadas. Também é discutido o possível impacto do streaming na distribuição e recepção do entretenimento contemporâneo ? para abordar esse fenômeno, recorreu-se a estudiosos da área da comunicação, como Chris Anderson (2006), John Fiske (2011), Pierre Levy (2013) e Raymond Williams (2016), entre outros. Esta pesquisa está ancorada, ainda, em parte da vasta fortuna crítica de mais de 100 anos da obra de Montgomery, de modo a fundamentar a hipótese de que a série atualizou a personagem Anne com vistas ao público do século XXI.Abstract: This study approachesthe character of Anne Shirley, protagonist of Anne of Green Gables (1908), by Canadian author L.M. Montgomery, as adapted into the series Anne with an E (2017), by Moira Walley-Beckett, produced by the Canadian channel CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) and broadcasted by Netflix. This work has as main objective analyzing the main audiovisual resources chosen and applied to the presentation of the character in the series? pilot episode, based on the concepts of adaptation proposed by Julie Sanders (2006), Deborah Cartmell (1999), Brian MacFarlane (1996) and, mainly, Linda Hutcheon (2013). As a methodology to build the analyses three audiovisual resources largely presented at the first episode of the series were selected: flashbacks, close-ups, and eloquent speech. The possible effect of the streaming at the distribution and reception of contemporary entertainment is also discussed ? this phenomenon is understood by gathering ideas from scholars of communication, as Chris Anderson (2006), John Fiske (2011), Pierre Levy (2013) and Raymond Williams (2016), among others. Furthermore, this research is based on some of the extensive critical fortune of more than 100 years of Montgomery?s work, to support the hypothesis that the series updated the character Anne as a means of aiming at 21st century?s audience
Community Response to Forestry Transition in Rural Canada: Analysis of Media and Census Data for Six Case Study Communities in New Brunswick and British Columbia
No full textThe forest economy is in transition across Canada. Faced with high dollar values, increasing competition within the global market, high input costs for energy, labour and fibre, and growing expectations for environmental performance, the forest sector is undergoing significant economic transitions as companies across the country cut costs, close mills and shed jobs. This report contributes to our understanding of community response to mill closure with a detailed description of six case study communities during a period of forest industry mill closures. Three communities are in British Columbia (Mackenzie, Quesnel and Fort St. James) and three communities are in New Brunswick (Dalhousie, Nackawic and Mirimachi). Empirical information is derived from national and local media reports as well as recent data from the Census of Canada. Key thematic areas include resilience, economic diversification, the nature of mill closure, union involvement, government involvement and concerns over government policy changes such as appurtenancy.media analysis, rural sociology, community development, rural development, social change, Community/Rural/Urban Development, R52, R58, Q33,
Equine nutrition: a survey of perceptions and practices of horse owners undertaking a massive open online course in equine nutrition
No full textAn online survey was designed to ascertain the following information: demographics, current feeding practices, and perceptions and knowledge of equine nutrition, including nutrition-related disorders. Response rate was 34% (6,538 respondents). More than 80% of respondents were horse owners or caretakers, with the majority owning between one and five horses (75%) aged 5 years and older (74%). Most kept their horses for pleasure (54%), with 33% using them mostly for competition and 13% using them for an equal mix of both pleasure and competition. Concentrates were fed by the majority (87%), and more than 70% stated that their horses had some access to pasture. Over half of respondents (60%) regularly monitored their horses' weight, with most doing this monthly. Weight tapes were most commonly used (62%), although many reported to guess the weight of their horse(s) with very few (5%) using weight scales. Under half (46%) stated that they regularly used body condition scoring (BCS), many did not use BCS at all (24%), and some did not know what BCS was (10%). Of those that did use BCS, most (36%) did this monthly, with others weekly (25%), daily (14%), and when they remembered (15%). Overall knowledge of nutrition was reported by most as average (median, 3 on Likert scale—average); however, respondents were less knowledgeable on the management of nutrition-related disorders
Fuzziness in legal English: what shall we do with 'shall'?
No full textThis chapter examines whether the once revered modal auxiliary shall still has a role to play in legal English. The author also investigates the direction in which the Plain Language Movement is heading, its aims and the means it uses to reach its objectives, with particular reference to the question of whether or not to eliminate shall completely from prescriptive texts. The author highlights the uses and misuses of this modal auxiliary in legal English and examines the alternatives that have been adopted in shall-free texts. He then focuses on the presumed ‘fuzziness’ of shall and suggests that some of the criticism of the Plain Language Movement is not always justified. The author concludes the chapter with an evaluation as to whether there is still a place for shall in modern prescriptive texts
