“These articles of furniture could not be real…they must be ghosts of such articles”: the material Gothic of Charlotte Brontë’s Villette
No full textCanonized as a Gothic writer primarily for her novel Jane Eyre (1847), Charlotte Brontë‟s role within the Gothic tradition has been seen by some critics to be an unsuccessful venture and by others to be an attempt to defend the Racliffean school of Gothic literature from critics, such as Jane Austen. However, through tracing the progression of Brontë‟s Gothic through The Professor (1857) and Jane Eyre to Brontë‟s last completed novel, Villette (1853), this essay argues that Brontë goes beyond simply using the standard tropes of the Gothic tradition and, instead, expands upon an already present material element in the tradition to reflect the cultural environment that her novels are written in—in a word, a material Gothic. Through her novels, Brontë develops a material Gothic in which items are inscribed with meaning and relationships are mediated through these items. By the time Villette is published, the value placed on this system of inscription is so great that the Gothic happy-ending experienced by Frances and Jane is not a feasible option for Lucy Snowe. When capitalistic motives interfere in the heroine‟s Gothic tale and are the catalyst for a catastrophic loss, such as the presumed death of Paul Emmanuel, the heroine is left with empty placeholders. Because the meaning of these objects has been eliminated, they cannot serve as an adequate substitute for the satisfying relationship the heroine was supposed to have with her Gothic hero-villain.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Jamie M.

Nostalgia: content, triggers, functions
No full textSeven methodologically diverse studies addressed 3 fundamental questions about nostalgia. Studies 1 and 2 examined the content of nostalgic experiences. Descriptions of nostalgic experiences typically featured the self as a protagonist in interactions with close others (e.g., friends) or in momentous events (e.g., weddings). Also, the descriptions contained more expressions of positive than negative affect and often depicted the redemption of negative life scenes by subsequent triumphs. Studies 3 and 4 examined triggers of nostalgia and revealed that nostalgia occurs in response to negative mood and the discrete affective state of loneliness. Studies 5, 6, and 7 investigated the functional utility of nostalgia and established that nostalgia bolsters social bonds, increases positive self-regard, and generates positive affect. These findings demarcate key landmarks in the hitherto uncharted research domain of nostalgi

Resonant Spaces: Electroacoustic Music and Ritual: A commentary on my recent music.
No full textThe following portfolio and commentary concerns music and performance works created between 2008 and 2012, and an exposition of the research, ideas, aesthetics and techniques that connect
these works. I will discuss in detail the role that archaeoacoustics has played in my composition of fixed and mixed media works and how it has influenced me aesthetically in my approach to live performance. I will also explain in each instance any actual data used from various research sources, and my metaphorical interpretation of various archaeological sites and acoustic phenomena. Similarly, I will discuss the concepts of shamanism, ritual and transcendence that have influenced me, and how these concepts are expressed in my instrumental works, fixed media and live performance pieces
