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
Tradução de poesia: Emily dickinson segundo a perspectiva tradutória de Augusto de Campos
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2014Esta dissertação, a partir da perspectiva teórica e prática de Augusto de Campos quanto à tradução de poesia, visa analisar sete de suas traduções dos poemas da norte-americana Emily Dickinson, publicadas na obra Emily Dickinson: não sou ninguém, em 2008. O trabalho foi dividido em três capítulos. O primeiro tratados principais elementos que constituem a poética de Dickinson, bem como das traduções brasileiras de suas obras. 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. This work contains three chapters; the first presents the main elements that constitute the Dickinson's poetry, as well as the Brazilian translations of her poems. It has, as theoretical support, author slike: Gilbert and Gubar (1984), Donoghue (1969) Sewall (1963) and Daghlian(1987). The second chapter aims to approach the main remarks of Augusto,highlighting his activity as poet and as translator, aiming to understand his practice of translation. The third chapter analyses the Augusto's translations of seven poems of Dickinson and try to identify the relationship between the theory and the practice of the translator. This discursive, besides the formal and syntactic field focuses on the semantic field of the poems, without any kind of prescriptive judgment
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
With specimens of song: a tradução da rima de Dickinson
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos da TraduçãoA presente investigação propõe um estudo da poesia de Emily Dickinson no que diz respeito à sua tradução para o português. Sobretudo, há uma preocupação com questões eufônicas, que evidenciaram a poesia de Emily Dickinson, e vêm desafiando os tradutores brasileiros. O escopo da pesquisa se limitará à preocupação com a rima, mais especificamente, a de final de verso. A proposta é gerar uma discussão acerca das traduções de José Lira e Aíla de Oliveira Gomes, colocando em evidência algumas das estratégias que estes empregaram para responder aos desafios de traduzir a rima na poesia de Dickinson. Tal discussão será fundamentada nas observações sobre a rima nos poemas de Dickinson, particularmente propostas no livro Positive as Sound de Judy Jo Small. This present investigation proposes a study on the poetry of Emily Dickinson regarding its translation into Brazilian Portuguese. Overall, the focus of the study relies on the sound effects that have highlighted the poetry of Emily Dickinson and have been challenging Brazilian translators. The scope of this research is limited to what concerns rhyme, more specifically the end rhymes. The proposition is to generate discussion about the works of Brazilian translators José Lira and Aíla de Oliveira Gomes, focusing on the strategies they found to meet the challenges of translating rhyme in the poetry of Dickinson. Such discussion will be based upon the observations of Judy J. Small on her book Positive as Sound about rhyme in the poems of Dickinson

Phylogenetics, systematics and biogeography of deep-sea Pennatulacea (Anthozoa: Octocorallia): evidence from molecules and morphology
No full textDespite its extreme environmental conditions, the deep sea harbours a unique andspecies-rich fauna of mostly unknown age and phylogeny. Pennatulids (Anthozoa:Octocorallia) are a group whose taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships remain poorlyknown and little studied, in spite of their abundance and ecological importance in softbottomcommunities. Phylogenetic analysis of a combination of partial ND2 and msh1sequences produced well-supported phylogenetic relationships for representative deepsea(and shallow-water) pennatulids at familial, generic and specific taxonomic levels.Generally, molecular data were congruent with current classification and previousphylogenetic reconstructions of the O. Pennatulacea based on morphology.Discrepancies were evident concerning the finer details for some families and genera: thiscan be attributable to the high frequency of homoplasy in pennatulids where reversals inevolution have led to taxa that possess apomorphic character states that are analogouswith plesiomorphic traits. Genetic analysis gave strong support that highly-derived taxaoccur in both shallow and deep water and that many may have differentiated anddispersed from the deep sea to the shallows. The Renillidae, which is considered one ofthe most primitive shallow-water families, evolved recently from deep-water ancestors.Conversely, the bathyal Anthoptilidae was the most primitive of families, and althoughmore evidence is required, pennatulids as a group may have originated in deep water.The systematics of the exclusively deep-sea genus Umbellula, which contains fortytwospecies, remains unclear despite the repeated attempts of revision. Incorporatingnew morphological and distributional data from the examination of recently collectedmaterial, together with type specimens, genetic analysis, and a critical study of theliterature, fifteen Umbellula species are here considered valid, including three new toscience. Eight species lack sclerites in the autozooids, U. magniflora, U. encrinus, U.antarctica, U. carpenteri and Umbellula sp.1 n. sp. (quadrangular axes), and U. huxleyi andU. pellucida (round axes); and seven possess autozooid sclerites, U. thomsoni and U.hemigymna (quadrangular axes), and U. monocephalus, U. aciculifera, U. durissima,Umbellula sp.2 n. sp. and Umbellula sp.3 n. sp. (round axes).Biogeographic data and genetic evidence supported the hypothesis that species ofUmbellula differentiated in the Indo-Pacific. Many radiated southwards to the Antarcticand later north into the Atlantic, E Pacific, Indian and Arctic oceans, occupying bathyaland abyssal depths. Other, older species that evolved via a separate evolutionarypathway, may have originated in the Indo-Pacific, and dispersed to the Subantarctic (U.sp.2 n. sp.) or Indian and Atlantic oceans (U. monocephalus). Further, morphologicalexamination of Umbellula showed it adapted to the oligotrophic conditions of the deepsea by reducing the number but increasing the size of the autozooids, and in doing so,enlarged the food-catchment area; abyssal species have done so even more extremely
Random Acts of Making: Discovering Tools, Methods & Mindsets for Making in the Classroom (Grades 4-6)
No full textThis thesis investigates how design activities taken on by makers and designers can illuminate real-world, contemporary issues relevant to the new BC Curriculum. The recent redesign of British Columbia’s K-12 Applied Design Skills and Technologies (ADST) curriculum aims to support the development of active citizens in a way that is in touch with today’s rapid pace of technology development and information exchange (Ministry of Education, 2015). As a designer and maker, who is also informed by observations and work with Vancouver’s maker community, Emily Smith has explored possible directions and philosophies for developing a maker education-pedagogy, informed by the maker movement, her own practices, and the Emily Carr students and faculty. This work is an exploration of TOOLS: Including drop spindles, knitting needles, and backstrap looms; METHODS: Including her own artistic textile and music-making practice and primary persona known as a “One-Woman Band”. This persona is an application of clowning practices, as taught by David Macmurray Smith. Methods borrowed from the maker community include designed materials and facilitation in the form of “Lightning Talks”, and “Zine-Making” (Appendix C&D). Finally, this thesis explores MINDSETS: which includes constructivism and constructionism, Design-Make-Play, Head, Heart and Hand, the Maker Mindset, the work of Maryann and Gregory Bateson and cybernetics. Guided by exploration of tools, methods and mindsets, Smith conducts a series of co-creation sessions and interviews with 15 participants (see Appendix A & B), which include Emily Carr students, local makers, faculty and educators in Vancouver. Findings provide a series of case studies which reveal that social making activities engage learners in a multiplicity of subjects, and can meaningfully address ADST’s Core Competencies through making, and discussion led by a facilitator. Other insights include possibilities to inspire students through the use of “memes”, through public forums, programs, and published materials. Designed materials constitute prototypes and proof of concepts for possible extensions and modules to further extend and develop the Maker Club format.Research through designMaker clubMaker educationADSTMaterial practic
Emily C. Burns, Transnational Frontiers: The American West in France
No full textTransnational Frontiers has a great opening line. “The American West,” writes the author, art historian Emily C. Burns, “is a slippery concept, particularly in international settings.” This initial sentence gets to the heart of the challenge of discussing the West, which has long existed as an idea as much as an actual place. It also touches on the ways in which many of the myths of the West were supported and even shaped abroad. As Burns successfully demonstrates, from beginning to end, this..
