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

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

Oral history interview with Emily Beers
No full textEmily Beers became a teacher in 2011 after working in a special education classroom. She developed a leadership capacity in her time as a special education teacher. She taught in a brick-and-mortar school for six years and transitioned into a virtual charter (Epic Charter Schools) during the walkouts. Due to her unique vantage point as a special education teacher, rather than as a classroom teacher, she felt that she was able to witness more school-wide trends of lack of funding and its impact on her students earlier than some of her colleagues. Emily felt she was able to see connections between legislation and its effects because her special education students were quickly and directly affected. She noticed teachers leaving in droves leading up to the strikes, and cites legislation as the cause. During the strikes, she worked hard to advocate for teachers and students, and actively participated in strike-related activities. Her transition from public school to charter school drew resentment from her colleagues that was intensified during the strike. Despite the resentment, she refused to be discouraged from advocating for teachers actively in her community. She mentions symptoms of the cycle of advocacy and how they affected her personally (citing burnout, feelings of abandonment after the strikes ended, etc.) Emily felt that she had finally felt solidarity during the strikes, she felt validated, and imbued with a sense of purpose. Emily mourned the loss of the solidarity after the strikes ended. She asserts that she won't stop advocating for her students and the improvement on the systems that support students in education in Oklahoma. Her hope for the future is to see students adequately supported financially and systemically by the state.The 2018 Oklahoma Education Walkouts Oral History Collection is a series of interviews with teachers who participated in the 2018 walkouts across Oklahoma to better understand its impact on the teachers and to establish a record for future generations to understand this historic event from the perspective of the people who made it happen
