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
Covid Conversations 2: Anne Bogart
No full textMaintaining and nurturing an ensemble theatre have been Anne Bogart’s foremost concerns in these past near-thirty years since she and Tadashi Suzuki founded the Saratoga International Theatre Institute (SITI) in 1992. Suzuki had established the Suzuki Company of Toga (SCOT) in 1976, making a secluded mountainous landscape of Japan its home to this day. Bogart’s venture in the United States, although inspired by Suzuki’s model of a production-based troupe of high artistic standards that, at the same time, developed its unique training methods, by no means merely duplicates its predecessor. In this Covid Conversation, Bogart briefly maps a segment of SITI’s history, reflecting on the company’s inter-arts endeavours with differing dance idioms and its engagement with Greek tragedy. She discusses the effects of the Covid pandemic on her troupe, also interrupting its performances of The Bacchae at the Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis. Her most recent opera production, Tristan and Isolde, was closed for the same reason at the Croatian National Theatre – a key work in her portfolio of nineteenth-century grand opera as well as contemporary avant-garde opera. An acclaimed theatre director, Anne Bogart runs and teaches the Graduate Directing Programme at Columbia University in New York. At the SITI summer school in Saratoga, she and the company have workshopped the Viewpoints method that she has elaborated from Mary Overlie’s six principles for theatre and dance training. Bogart’s international workshops have further developed her method. She is the author of A Director Prepares (Routledge, 2001) and of many influential books that include (with Tina Landau) The Viewpoints Book (Theatre Communications Group, 2004). The Art of Resonance is forthcoming (2021, Bloomsbury). Maria Shevtsova is the Editor of New Theatre Quarterly whose most recent book is Rediscovering Stanislavsky (Cambridge University Press, 2020). The following conversation took place on 27 August 2020, was transcribed by Kunsang Kelden, and was edited by Maria Shevtsova. It is followed by a short coda announcing the transition of SITI into a resource centre

'The cracked mirror': Anne Sexton's poetics of self-representation
No full textThis thesis re-evaluates the work of the poet Anne Sexton (1928-1974), concentrating, in particular, on the indeterminacies, contradictions and aporia which it finds to be characteristic of her ostensibly frank and self-revelatory writing. The study is based on a close textual
analysis of Sexton's writing, is informed by oststructuralist theories, and is sustained by an
examination and discussion of archive collections of her previously unpublished papers. In seeking an understanding of Sexton's poetics, the thesis identifies and interrogates the strategies of denial and obfuscation apparent in her own explication of her work - principally, by scrutiny of the unpublished, and previously unresearched, drafts of a series of lectures
which she delivered in 1972. Chapters One and Two consider the origins of `confessional' or - Sexton's preferred term - 'personal' poetry and reassess her place within contemporary poetry. They suggest that
Sexton's writing is engaged in a process of negotiation and contestation, both with the boundaries and expectations of confessionalism, and with the strictures of T. S. Eliot's theory of `impersonality'. In support of these arguments, Chapter Two offer a reading of Sexton's
little-known poem, `Hurry Up Please It's Time', alongside its intertext, Eliot's The Waste Land. Chapter Three reassesses received views of the supposedly beneficial interrelationship between confessional speaker and reader. It examines Sexton's appropriation of dramatic
masks and personae and her use of metaphors of striptease and prostitution, and suggests that these are employed simultaneously to appease and to repel an intrusive audience. Similarly, Chapters Four and Five trace Sexton's problematisation of two previously-accepted tenets of confessional poetry: its status as autobiography and its truthfulness, drawing attention to the techniques employed in order to give the impression of both. Chapter Six considers Sexton's
problematic engagement with a language which is not malleable, transparent, and referential but, rather, is experienced as uncooperative and occlusive. Finally, the thesis recuperates Sexton from the common charge of narcissism, arguing that it is the writing, rather than the poet, which is self-reflexive and self-conscious. In this respect, it concludes that her work - perhaps unexpectedly - anticipates many of the tendencies of postmodernist writing
Pós-colonialismo nas telas do cinema: nas fronteiras com Amélia
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura, Florianópolis, 2010O presente trabalho de pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o filme Amélia, roteirizado e dirigido pela cineasta brasileira Ana Carolina. Foi utilizada uma abordagem com base nos estudos pós-coloniais, o que foi fundamental para uma releitura da história do encontro entre culturas diferentes marcadas por relações assimétricas de poder. Neste filme, as personagens precisam utilizar a negociação no espaço da tradução cultural, locus desse encontro tenso, permeado por contatos entre línguas diferentes. A ligação entre as personagens, intermediada pela personagem Amélia, entrelaça, no deslocamento de francesas e brasileiras, o encontro entre essas culturas, possibilitando que relações de poder e subalternidade se alternem em meio aos tensos embates. Assim, conceitos inerentes aos estudos pós-coloniais, como transculturação, tradução, subalternidade, fronteiras, dentre outros, puderam ser examinados na performance.The aim of this study was to analyse the film Amélia, written and directed by Brazilian filmmaker Ana Carolina. A postcolonial approach was used in order to better know the encounter among different cultures, marked by relationships without symmetry of power. In this film, the characters need to negotiate in the space of cultural translation, locus of this tense, meeting going through different language contacts. The relationship among the characters, mediated by Amélia, the main character, mix French and Brazilian people and their cultures, this mixture makes it possible to visualize the alternations of power and subalternity throughout the scenes. Thus, concepts related to post colonial studies, transculturation, translation, subalternity, boundaries, among others, could be examined in the European charactersperformance and in the Brazilian characters too
Literature-/TV-series-based lessons of feminism. The case of Anne of Green Gables
No full textThe article attempts to interpret the character of Anne Shirley in terms of gender studies, mainly taking into account such an issue as the pro‑feminist element in the work of Lucy Maud Montgomery herself, which had an impact on the creation of a new type of heroine breaking the 19th‑century Victorian patterns of that time. Another reading from Anne of Green Gables resulted in a completely new text of culture, Anne with an E (Netflix, CBC), extracting forgotten or unread voices from the pages of novels. The author of the article compares specific situations from the book with TV series’ moments and their mutual impact on the transmitted content and to the constant emancipation of the main character
A Book of Sibyls
No full textAnne Thackeray Ritchie (1837–1919) was a writer and the eldest daughter of the novelist W. M. Thackeray. She had a tumultuous childhood: her mother suffered from depression and was eventually committed to a sanatorium, and the family experienced poverty before her father's literary success. Anne was extremely close to her father, who admired her intellect and encouraged her writing. When he died, Anne set up house with her sister Harriet and her brother-in-law, the literary journalist Leslie Stephen. Anne's novels were serialised in the Cornhill Magazine, which her father had edited, and their success established her literary reputation. A Book of Sibyls is Anne's study of four female writers: the poet Anna Laetitia Barbauld and the novelists Amelia Opie, Maria Edgeworth and Jane Austen.

Um olhar sobre o "Diário de Anne Frank"
No full textDissertação de Mestrado em Psicologia Clínica, apresentada ao ISPA - Instituto UniversitárioO Diário de Anne Frank, um testemunho do Holocausto, retrata a vida de uma
adolescente dos 13 aos 15 anos durante dois anos e um mês dentro de um Anexo Secreto
com outros sete residentes.
Tendo por base uma perspectiva psicanalítica, pretendeu-se conhecer melhor Anne
Frank. Analisou-se os processos psicológicos inerentes à adolescência da jovem escritora,
incluindo a vivência da sua sexualidade, consolidação da identidade e a mudança do objecto
de amor.
Foi tido em conta o facto desta adolescência ter sido vivida num regime de clausura
num esconderijo, com uma constante ameaça de morte e sem ser possível um afastamento
familiar e comunicação com os pares. Analisou-se ainda que estratégias Anne usou para o
seu mundo interno não se desmoronar e que papel o diário teve neste período de reclusão.
Atendendo a diversos autores que escreveram acerca da expressão emocional através
do processo criativo e, mais especificamente, da escrita, colocamos a hipótese do diário ter
para Anne um potencial poder reparador. A partir da Teoria do Pensamento de Bion,
analisamos esta capacidade que a escrita pode ter e realizamos um paralelismo com o diário e
concluímos que, de facto, o diário apresenta uma função reparadora para a autora.ABSTRACT: Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, a Holocaust testimony, portrays the life of a
teenager of 13 to 15 years old for two years and one month in a Secret Annex with seven
other residents.
Based on a psychoanalytic perspective, we sought to learn more about Anne Frank.
It was examined the psychological processes inherent to the adolescence of this young
writer, including the experience of their sexuality, identity consolidation and the shift of the
love object.
It was taken into consideration the fact that this adolescence was lived in reclusion in
a hideout, with a constant death threat and without being possible the familiar distance and
communication with peers. It was also studied what strategies Anne used for her internal
world not fall apart and what function the daily paper had in this period of confinement.
Taken in consideration several authors who have written about the emotional
expression through the creative process and, more specifically, the writing process, this work
asks the question: is Anne's diary have a potential therapeutic power? From Bion’s Theory of
Thinking, it’s examined this capacity that writing might have, and it’s performed a
comparison with the diary and concluded that, indeed, the diary has a restorative function
for the author
