    In the streets, shops, and mines: The voices of Emile Zola's working-class women

    No full text
    In his Rougon-Macquart, Emile Zola was the first nineteenth-century French author to offer a broad and profound literary portrayal of working-class women. Using a socio-linguistic theoretical approach, this dissertation analyzes Zola's innovations in using literary devices to amplify authentic female working-class voices, and identifies how this discourse differs from male discourse in Le Ventre de Paris, L'Assommoir, Au Bonheur des dames and Germinal.Chapter I discusses the general orality of Zola's text, achieved by punctuation, intonation, phrasing, and the inspired use of popular language and style indirect libre. Zola's creative use of these literary techniques heightens the reader's appreciation for and knowledge of the discourse habits and speech patterns of working-class women.Chapter II applies Mikhail Bakhtin's concepts of polyphonic discourse and the polyphonic heroine to the discourse of Lisa Quenu, Denise Baudu and la Maheude. Bakhtin's definition of the polyphonic novel revolves around theories of the hero(ine), dominant idea and word. Polyphonic heroines speak with full-valued voices and embrace dominant philosophies which motivate their actions.Chapters III and IV analyze the dynamics, logistics and importance of working-class female group discourse. This discourse influences the unfolding of events in many novels, and supersedes male group discourse in effectiveness and importance. Chapter III analyzes organized group discourse which takes the form of a classical Greek Chorus and of rumors. Chapter IV treats unorganized group discourse in a delineated milieu and in a crowd or mob. Being marginalized from the male power and authority hierarchy, women create their own communication systems and find strength and legitimacy in uniting their voices.Discourse between working-class women is more prevalent than between men or women and men. Furthermore, women are more often portrayed gathering in groups and working than are men. Zola was quite forward-looking in his serious depiction of working-class women in the Rougon-Macquart. He uses various literary devices to let these women speak through him, resisting the temptation to give them a voice in order to claim it as his own. This portrayal supports Zola's stated goal to realistically depict life at all levels of society during the Second Empire.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:34:05Z (GMT).

    A new proposed constitutional methodology for effecting transformation in the South African law of delict

    No full text
    The problem identified in this thesis is the haphazard methodology that features in constitutional application to the South African common law of delict. Conventionally, the Constitution is said to apply either 'directly', 'indirectly' or 'not at all' to common-law problems. How judges are supposed to choose between those three possibilities is unclear. In light of a number of recent delict cases, the author observes that the uncertainty, coupled with a conservative political commitment to 'contemporary common-law purism', has resulted in judges preferring the option of 'constitutional avoidance' instead of the direct- and indirect-application models. On the other hand, the author also notes with concern the radically alternative approach of 'constitutional over-excitement' where judges overlook established common-law rules and instead turn to a pure application of constitutional principles. The author argues that these competing approaches tend to valorise one source of law at the expense of an integrated reading of various sources. This invariably leads to an uncritical acceptance of either the common law or the Constitution. The author contends that the competing problems of constitutional avoidance and over-excitement in the law of delict could be addressed by turning to the transformative method of adjudicative subsidiarity that places the Constitution's commitment to human rights at the centre of common-law disputes (thus rejecting a blind veneration of the common law) while being humbly mindful of the limits of constitutionalism. The author finally evaluates judicial performance in a broader spectrum of delict cases since democratisation that further demonstrates the need for the application of adjudicative subsidiarity.tm2017Centre for Human RightsPhDUnrestricte

    Emile Zola : An Influence on John Steinbeck?

    No full text
    iii, 47 p.The possibility of a connection between French author Emile Zola, born in 1840 in Paris, and the American novelist John Steinbeck, born in California in 1902, may seem remote. Yet, if one examines closely criticism dealing with these two authors, then compares two of their novels, Germinal and The Grapes of Wrath, the suggestion that Steinbeck may have been influenced directly or indirectly by Zola' s work when he wrote The Grapes of Wrath is not unreasonable
