Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director

Infância: uma alterbiografia de Graciliano Ramos
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e Expressão.Curso de Licenciatura e Bacharelado em Língua Portuguesa e Literaturas em Língua PortuguesaA partir do questionamento de conceitos como realidade e verdade, enveredamos neste trabalho em desmistificar a ingênua ideia de autobiografia como “vida de um indivíduo escrita por ele mesmo”. A autobiografia foi pensada como uma abertura pela evocação das memórias e pelo trabalho com a linguagem; como uma forma de autoconhecimento e de reconhecimento de si no outro, a partir das ideias de Foucault; e como um jogo dialógico entre a identidade-mesmidade (eu, no tempo da enunciação) e identidade-ipseidade (o outro-eu, no tempo do enunciado) de Ricoeur; por oferecerem a ideia de uma realidade e de uma verdade do indivíduo que se altera com o tempo no movimento de se escrever, se ler e se reler, de abrir-se ao outro, por meio da narrativa. Nesse sentido, intentamos demonstrar que é a performance da linguagem que lhe garante a inscrição como narrativa de vida, refutando, pois, o conceito de Lejeune de “pacto autobiográfico”. Assim, entendemos a escrita de si como a leitura do outro, a autobiografia como alterbiografia, porque, ao passo que o sujeito escreve sobre si, já aí ele opera um movimento de projetar-se como um outro, para então penetrar a própria alma; e por também revelar uma coletividade, já que, conforme Mikhail Bakhtin, o sujeito se constitui pela linguagem e em sua práxis social. A partir disso, empreendemos uma análise de Infância como um jogo de espelhos, num eterno movimento de girar o caleidoscópio do eu
EXPERIENCES AND ANALYSIS ON MASONRY MATERIALS SUBJECTED TO HIGH-TEMPERATURES
No full textAn experimental procedure for tests on specimens made of several materials is performed to detect the mechanical properties depending from temperature. About 200 cylindrical specimens (diameter D=100 mm, height H=200 mm) of several materials (clay, lightweight concrete, aerate autoclaved concrete, mortar) are tested from 20°C to 700°C. The free Thermal strain and the decay of axial strength are determined; proposals for the stress-strain curves and the secant modulus of elasticity in function of temperature are illustrated.
The data base from tests are able to calculate the collapse domains (bending moment - axial force - time of exposure to nominal fire) which represent a simple model for the assessment of masonry panel sections subjected to fire action
