The modernist angel: Art at the Limits of the Human in D. H. Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy
No full textPhDThe subject of this thesis is a figure that might provisionally be called the *modemist
angel'. Focusing on modernist literature, and more particularly on the work of D. H.
Lawrence, H. D. and Mina Loy, it aims to isolate from the many angels found in all periods
and all types of art a historically specific and intellectually coherent paradigm: an angel of
and for its modernist times. A figure of precisely this type could be said to exist in the
form of Walter Benjamin's 'angel of history'. Critics who address the question of the
modern angel in texts by Franz Kafka and Rainer Maria Rilke often do so in conjunction
with the problem posed by the angel of history. Beginning with a chapter on Benjamin,
this thesis nevertheless follows a different trajectory. Over five chapters, it explores a
modernist landscape formed not only by Lawrence, H. D. and Loy, but also by European
and American writers such as A. R. Orage, Allen Upward, Ezra Pound, Wallace Stevens,
Havelock Ellis, Edward Carpenter, Sigmund Freud and Friedrich Nietzsche. Although the
angel that emerges from this investigation might, in some respects, be said to anticipate
Benjamin's later version, this figure is also very different, standing for a project that is
distinctively, and recognisably, modernist in nature. He/she (the sex of the modernist
angel is often open to question) represents an attempt to reconcile the divine
responsibilities of the artist with the material and gendered conditions of being,
specifically of being human, in the modem world. This thesis looks again at the clash of
intellectual paradigms in the early-twentieth century - notably, the confrontation of the
Romantic view of art as a superhuman or sacred undertaking with the psychoanalytical or
evolutionary idea that all human endeavour is underpinned by sub-human motives - and
suggests the angel as a new and instructive figure through which to think the perilous
limits between the human and the divine in modernist literature

Representation of an “Angel in the House” and “Fallen Woman” in Elizabeth Gaskell’ s Ruth
No full textSince a woman in Victorian England was expected to be a manager of household, there was a stereotype of Victorian woman called the “angel in the house”. There was also another stereotype of Victorian woman called “fallen woman”. As literature represents life, woman’s roles and stereotypes in Victorian are also reflected in Elizabeth Gaskell’s Ruth. The objectives of this study are to describe the representation of angel in the house and fallen woman in this novel and to describe social perspective and how the fallen character struggle to face and overcome the social construction surrounding her. The study employs library research and sociological approach to analyze Victorian woman’s roles and the stereotypes. It analyzes the character, conflict and setting that brings the study to the analysis of Victorian woman’s roles in this novel. From the analysis, it can be concluded that there are woman’s roles performed by female characters in this novel that is “angel in the house” and “fallen woman”. Ruth, as the main character, performs both images. She performs “angel in the house” when she becomes a governess. Beside that, she falls into fallen woman because of her naivete and her innocence. However, as fallen woman, she succeeds to struggle to get her position in society and becomes an honorable woman even though she has to die in the end of the novel
The Angel of Revelation -An Angel of God and an Icon of Jesus Christ
No full textThe purpose of the dissertation is to determine who the angel is through an examination of his appearance and role and by analyzing his relationship to God and Christ. A search and review of possible sources were made to determine whether such literary aids could help in interpreting the appearance and role of the angel. The relationship of the angel and Christ was also compared and analyzed to discover why the author of Revelation has and uses such an angel
Elastic behavior and pressure-induced structural evolution of nepheline: implications for the nature of the modulated superstructure
No full textThe elastic behavior and the pressure-induced structural evolution of a natural nepheline (K0.54 Na3.24Ca0.03Al4Si4O16) were investigated by in-situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction up to 7.5 GPa with a diamond anvil cell under hydrostatic conditions. As observed in previous studies, at room conditions the diffraction pattern of nepheline includes satellite reflections, whereas the structure refinement to the Bragg reflections conÞ rms that the O1 site is displaced from the triad at (2/3, 1/3, z). The reflection conditions confirm that the space group of the average structure of nepheline remains as P63 throughout the pressure range investigated, and no signifiant compression of the T-O bonds was measured up to 7.5 GPa. As pressure was increased to around 1 GPa the integrated intensities of the satellites decreased slightly, and at 1.8 GPa no significant intensity of the satellites was detected. Over the same pressure range the O1 site moved toward the triad and thus the tilts of the T1 and T2 tetrahedra decreased. The presence of the subsidiary non-Bragg reflections is therefore related to the split of the O1 site. When the satellites disappear at pressures above 2 GPa, the O1 site is on the triad at (2/3, 1/3, z), corresponding to a straight T1-O1-T2 bond. Below 2 GPa the structure responds to increased pressure by tilting of all four tetrahedra and above 2 GPa by tilting of the T3 and T4 tetrahedra alone.
The change in compression mechanism arising from the changes in the O1 position is associated with changes in the compression of the unit-cell axes and the unit-cell volume. The volume can be described by fourth-order Birch-Murnaghan equation-of-state with parameters V0 = 723.57(4) Å3, KT0 = 47.32(26) GPa, K’ = 2.77(24), and K’’ = 0.758(79) GPa-1. The elastic behavior along the a- and c-axis can be described with a 'linearized' fourth-order Birch-Murnaghan equations-of-state, with the following refined parameters: a0 = 9.9911(2) Å, KT0(a) = 43.1(3) GPa, K’(a) = 2.5(3), and K’’(a) = 0.68(8) GPa-1 for the a-axis and c0 = 8.3700(1) Å, KT0(c) = 58.6(3) GPa, K’(c) = 4.0(3), and K’’(c) = 0.85(11) GPa-1 for the c-axis. The pressure-induced structural evolution in nepheline up to 7.5 GPa appears to be completely reversible. The recovery of the modulation upon complete pressure release points to the framework of nepheline having an instability corresponding to a rigid-unit mode with a wave vector corresponding to the observed positions of the satellite reflections
Isothermal equation of state and structural evolution of the modulated super-structure of nepheline at high-pressure
No full textNepheline is a feldspathoid, with ideal formula KNa3Al4Si4O16, and occurs in a wide variety of rocks including phonolites, aplites, nepheline-pegmatites and potassic lavas. The crystal structure of nepheline was first solved by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, in space group P63. Nepheline has a tetrahedral framework structure that can be considered as a stuffed derivative of that of tridymite. The Si/Al-framework of nepheline consists of 6-membered rings parallel to (001): one-quarter are nearly hexagonal regular rings (hereafter 6mR[001]-1), whereas the other three-quarters are flattened hexagonal rings (hereafter 6mR[001]-2). The 6mR[001]-1 and 6mR[001]-2 rings form two systems of channels running parallel to [001]. The (001)-layers of tetrahedra formed by the 6mR rings are stacked along [001] to build up a 3-dimensional framework. The Si/Al- distribution within the tetrahedral framework of nepheline appears to be highly ordered and a recent study suggests that the degree of Si/Al-order is independent of the temperature of formation. The extra-framework content in the nepheline structure is represented by two independent sites, labeled as “K” and “Na”, which lie in the 6mR[001]-1 and 6mR[001]-2 channels respectively. In natural nephelines the K site is ~60% occupied by potassium with ~20-25% sodium or calcium which leaves about 1/5 of the sites vacant. The coordination number of the K site is 9. The Na site is usually fully occupied by sodium (and minor calcium) and lies in the 6mR[001]-2 channels. Previous studies of nepheline with both single-crystal X-ray and electron-diffraction techniques found additional non-Bragg reflections with respect to the Hahn and Buerger (1955) unit-cell (with a~9.99Å and c~8.37Å). The positions of these subsidiary reflections can be defined in reciprocal space in terms of the normal reciprocal unit-cell for nepheline by coordinates ±(1/3, 1/3, ± z*), with z* ~0.2. The exact value of z* varies with the composition of the nepheline and is irrational.
The pressure-induced structural evolution and the elastic behavior of a natural nepheline were investigated by in-situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction up to 7.5 GPa under hydrostatic conditions. The reflection conditions confirm that the space group of the average structure of nepheline remains as P63 throughout the pressure range investigated. At room pressure the diffraction pattern of nepheline includes satellite reflections while the structure refinement to the Bragg reflections confirms that the O1 site is displaced from the triad at (2/3, 1/3, z). At P~1.8 GPa no significant intensity of the satellites was detected. Over the same pressure range the O1 site moved towards the triad and thus the tilts of the T1 and T2 tetrahedra decreased. When the satellites disappear at pressures above 2 GPa, the O1 site is on the triad at (2/3, 1/3, z), corresponding to a straight T1-O1-T2 bond. The presence of the subsidiary non-Bragg reflections is therefore related to the split of the O1 site and tilts of T1 and T2. Below 2 GPa the structure responds to increased pressure by tilting of all four tetrahedra, and above 2 GPa by tilting of the T3 and T4 tetrahedra alone. The change in compression mechanism arising from the changes in the O1 position is associated with changes in the compression of the unit-cell axes and the unit-cell volume. The elastic behavior was described with a 4th-order Birch-Murnaghan Equation-of-State. Fitting the P-V data, the refined parameters are: V0=723.57(4)Å3, KT0= 47.32(26) GPa, K’=2.77(24) and K’’=0.758(79) GPa-1. The pressure-induced structural evolution in nepheline up to 7.5 GPa appears to be completely reversible. The recovery of the modulation upon complete pressure release points to the framework of nepheline having an instability corresponding to a rigid-unit mode with a wave vector corresponding to the observed positions of the satellite reflections
