Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer
No full text‘Anne as Pagan, Anne as Queer’ is a critical and creative answer to the question: How do we construct Anne Shirley, and what does she mean to us? This creative research submission is a work of fanfiction, specifically a mash up based on Anne of the Island, L.M.M. Montgomery’s sequel to Anne of Green Gables. In this short work of fiction (under 4 thousand words) Anne is revealed as a changeling, one of the Faerie Folk, and also a being not strictly male or female; sometimes neither, sometimes both. The mash up is based on the last two chapters of Anne of the Island, the scenes in which Gilbert Blythe is seriously ill and Anne realises she loves him. This realisation causes Anne, in this version, to reveal to Gilbert that she is both non-human and not a girl, and to use Faerie magic to save Gilbert’s life. Anne’s revelation causes Gilbert a great relief, as he has been keeping a secret also - that he too is queer. The piece has an accompanying research statement and reflection, that reflects on the ways the contributor/author interprets Anne, as a being troubled by gender, and not strictly gender conforming. The much-loved scene from Anne of Green Gables in which Anne realises she is not wanted by the Cuthberts because she is not a boy is inserted into the mash up (as a memory) as this scene is the principal cause for the contributor’s identification with Anne as a gender non-conforming figure who resists gender expectations. Overall, this creative and critical work and reflection queers both Anne as a character and the Anne of the Island novel.Book chapter - work of fiction with a critical reflective essa
Unimpaired perceptual causality in children with high-functioning autism
No full textBackground:
Observers from six months are sensitive to
physical and social causality in launching
(Michotte 1946/63) and reaction (Kanizsa &
Vicario 1968), schematic events involving
movements of simple geometrical shapes.
Early in development perceptual causality
might support learning about mechanical
interactions of material bodies and about the
social interactions of intentional agents (Leslie
1988; Schlottmann & Surian, 1999).
A deficit/delay in perceptual causality fits with
theories focusing on either the social or
perceptual peculiarities characterising autism.
Ray and Schlottmann (2007) reported a link to
the latter, but not the former in lowfunctioning
young children with autism.
Objectives:
Our study investigated perceptual causality for
launch, reaction and related events in 20 highfunctioning
children with autism (mean
CA=13, VMA=9.7) and 22 typically developing
controls, to consider whether deficits in
launching that appear for younger children
with autism are overcome with higher
age/verbal ability.
Methods:
We employed a picture choice methodology
like Ray and Schlottmann (2007), but with
more articulate verbal instructions. Children
watched 14 animations (designed to test
possible explanations of any launch deficit),
choosing one of three pictures depicting
physical or social causality, or non-causality
for each.
Results:
Children with autism performed similar to
controls, with no deficit on any event.
Conclusions:
Early problems with launch perception are
overcome with age/higher verbal IQ. This
suggests a perceptual causality delay rather
than deficit in autism. Although this might still
interfere with early causal learning, that it is
overcome agrees with the general sparing of
physical reasoning in autism. Deficits on social
animations (Bowler & Thommen, 2000; Klin
2000) may only appear for complex stimuli
requiring mental state rather than goal
attributions. Thus, unimpaired perception of
reaction in autism coexists with deficits in
complex social attributions, suggesting a
discontinuity between the two

A sojourn in Paris 1824-25: sex and sociability in the manuscript writings of Anne Lister (1791-1840)
No full textThis thesis examines the day to day practices that constituted Anne Lister's (1791-1840) sexuality and sociability within the range of her writings, as well as her society. Anne's writings were a detailed account, spanning her lifetime, of her own love and relationships with the 'fairer sex' (Whitbread 1988, 145). Anne's sociality, seen in her correspondence and plain handwritten journal entries, has been explored by Muriel Green in Miss Lister of Shibden Hall and Jill Liddington in Female Fortune and Nature's Domain (Green 1992; Liddington 1998; 2003). As a gentlewoman of adequate means, Anne has garnered some attention from women's historians interested in her agency within an early nineteenth century social and historical context. Anne's sexual identity has been extensively analysed over the past nearly twenty years by lesbian feminists, queer theorists, women's historians and historians of sexuality concerned with the history and development of modern Western female homosexuality and gender. The source for theorising Anne's sexuality has been the edited selections of the crypted journal entries, published by Helena Whitbread in I Know My Own Heart and No Priest but Love (Whitbread 1988; 1992). However, many analyses deal either with the theorisation of Anne's sexuality or her sociality; the theoretical difficulty with reconciling these categories has troubled the analysis of her complex subjectivity. Drawing upon the archival materials, I have used an interdisciplinary feminist approach to analyse the sexual and social processes of Anne's everyday interactions in her writings. Taking the seven month period of the sojourn to Paris in 1824-25, I have focused upon Anne's textual practices within her journal volume and letters during her residence in Paris, her social practices with the other guests at the guesthouse 24 Place Vendome and her sexual practices with her lover, the widow Mrs. Maria Barlow. The journal volumes and correspondence are a valuable historical record of one gentlewoman's engagement with early nineteenth century British culture
