The 'true use of reading' : Sarah Fielding and mid eighteenth-century literary strategies.
No full textPhDThe aim of this thesis is to explore, by examining her life and
works, how Sarah Fielding (1710-68) established her identity as an author.
The definition of her role involves her notions of the functions of
writing and reading.
Sarah Fielding attempts to invite readers to form a sense of ties
by tacit understanding of her messages. As she believes that a work
of literature is produced through collaboration between the writer and
the reader, it is an important task in her view to show her attentiveness
toward reading practice. In her consideration of reading, she has two
distinct, even opposite views of her audience: on the one hand a familiar
and limited circle of readers with shared moral and cultural values and
on the other potential readers among the unknown mass of people. The
dual targets direct her to devise various strategies. She tries to
appeal to those who can endorse and appreciate her moral values as well
as her learning. Her writings and letters testify that she is sensitive
to the demands of the literary market, trying to lead the taste of readers
by inventing new forms.
The thesis opens with an overview of Sarah Fielding's career,
followed by a consideration of her critical attention to the roles of
reading. I go on to examine the narrative structures and strategies
she deploys, with a particular emphasis on her use of the epistolary
method. The following chapter deals with her attention to the reading
of the moral message tangibly embodied in her educational writing. It
is followed by an analysis of the activity which earned her a reputation
as a learned woman. Various as the forms of her works are, they invariably
reflect her attempt to balance herself between the two demands of
inventiveness and familiarity
The Life of Saint Catherine
No full textBakalářská práce se zabývá staročeskou veršovanou legendou Život svaté Kateřiny. Nejprve byla přiblížena historie odborného zkoumání díla, která rozebírala zejména snahy o určení autorství díla a o určení pramenů, se kterými mohl autor pravděpodobně pracovat. Shrnuty byly především názory o možných předlohách dvou míst, pro která ve dvou známých pramenech nenacházíme oporu. Dále se práce zabývala rozbory vybraných motivů, které jsou podle našeho názory pro dílo významné. Jedná se o motivy symboliky barev, motivy konverze, hyperbolizace utrpení a podoby zázraků. Jednotlivé motivy jsme prezentovali na ukázkách staročeského znění textu a následně jsme se pokusili o jejich analýzu. Pro scénu Kateřinina bičování, které obsahuje již zmiňovanou symboliku barev, jsme se pokusili nastínit vlastní interpretaci symboliky barev. Pro bližší představu o významu motivů konverze užitých v díle, jsme uvedli motivy konverze několika vybraných legend.ObhájenoThe topic of the bachelor thesis is an old Bohemian rhymed legend The Life of st. Catherine. At first, the history of specialized research of the work is presented. Tha main task of the research was to determine the author and also the determination of the sources which the author could have possibly used. Oppinions about two possible inspirations of two different places which are not present in any two known sources were summarised. The next part of the thesis is concentrated on the analysis of motives, which are, according to our opinion, important for the work. The motives used are motives of colour symbolism, conversion, hyperbole exageration of torment and the form of miracles. Individual motives were presented with pieces of the Old Bohemian version of the text which we later tried to analyse. We tried to come up with our own interpretation of colours in the scene of Catherine´s whipping. To make the motives of conversion used in this piece of work more clear we mentioned motives of conversion from other chosen legends
Navahine v. Hawaiʻi Dept. of Transportation: The Keiki Will Lead Us
No full textThe author analyzes the landmark case Navahine v. Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation, which culminated in the world’s first constitutional climate settlement. Catherine Smith, serving as an expert for the youth plaintiffs, situates the case within Hawaiʻi’s legal tradition of prioritizing children’s rights and intergenerational equity. She explores the evolution of children’s constitutional protections, contrasting Hawaiʻi’s progressive jurisprudence with the dominant adult-centric legal framework on the mainland. She critiques four recurring analytical missteps in U.S. courts that marginalize children’s interests and highlights Hawaiʻi’s public trust doctrine and cultural values, such as the Aloha Spirit, as models for addressing climate-related harms. Ultimately, the author argues for centering children’s rights to ensure meaningful legal responses to climate change

The post - expressivist turn : four American novels and the author - function
No full text" The Post - Expressivist Turn : Four American Novels and the Author - Function " proposes a model of the author - function as a " diagnostic " tool. An " author - centred " mode of critique can interrogate the hegemonic narrative of liberal humanism, or " liberal modernity ", in Western culture. The argument in this thesis proceeds from the recognition that the hegemonic convention of the author in contemporary Western culture ( that is, the " expressivist " convention of the author ) has been disarmed of its claims to ideological innocence and commonsensicality. This thesis utilises the insights of poststructuralism, specifically the discourse theory of the French philosopher Michel Foucault, to deploy a new model of the author - function which foregrounds the ideological and discursive precepts that the expressivist model of the author has been assumed to transcend. The thesis examines four novels : The Bostonians by Henry James, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, V. by Thomas Pynchon, and Democracy by Joan Didion. Taken together, these encompass a hundred - year trajectory defined by the literary schools of late realism ( The Bostonians ), modernism ( The Great Gatsby ), late modernism ( V. ), and postmodernism ( Democracy ). Each of these novels is deployed as a stage in a cumulative trajectory which foregrounds a " post - expressivist " operation of the author. This post - expressivist model of the author presumes no claims to epistemological self - evidence or commonsensicality. Consequently, the author - function in each of these novels is freed from its traditionally displaced, reified position in the cultural milieu. Instead, the author is re - engaged in the Western body politic as a discursively - situated material event. It is this discursive engagedness which once more installs the author as a productive diagnostic, as a productive means of interrogation of the hegemony of liberal modernity. This is effected through an interrogation by this post - expressivist author - model of the perceived efficacy of the project of American liberal humanism as a basis for the realisation of a democratic, rational utopia. In tracing a progressive denaturalisation of the author as an extra - contextual function ( The Bostonians ), through to a foregrounding of the author as an enunciative function ( Democracy ), this thesis delineates an " author - centred " model of critique relative to a trajectory that recognises the position of pre - eminence still enjoyed by the author in late - capitalist Western culture.Thesis (Ph.D.)--School of Humanities, 2005

Teorie transgeneračního přenosu v díle Emila Ajara Život před sebou (La Vie devant soi)
No full text9.1 Shrnutí V této diplomové práci jsme se snažili interpretovat román La Vie devant soi Émila Ajara na základě poznatků psychoanalytické teorie transgeneračního přenosu. Tato teorie předpokládá, že člověk, který prožil nějaké trauma, jež vytěsnil nebo popřel, a tak je odstranil ze svého vědomého dosahu, tudíž o něm vědomě nemluví (neboť mu brání stud nebo celková nevyjádřitelnost traumatu slovy), vyjadřuje se o něm nevědomě v určitých náznacích či symbolech, protože právě vyjádření traumatu, neboli jeho symbolizace, ať už slovní či jiná, je nejúčinnější terapií. Dokud trauma není odstraněno, přenáší se transgeneračně dál. Východiska teorie transgeneračního přenosu byla nastíněna v první kapitole práce na základě knihy L'écorce et le noyau N. Abrahama a M. Török. Čerpali jsme však i z díla B. Cyrulnika, A. Ancelin Schützenberger nebo H. Faimberg, kteří zasvětili svůj výzkum mimo jiné autoterapeutické tvorbě nebo dosud nevysvětlitelné problematice nevědomého transgeneračního přenosu. V další kapitole jsme shrnuli nejvýraznější tendence literární kritiky od pozitivismu po nový historismus a sledovali jsme, jak se v jednotlivých směrech proměňuje vztah díla a jeho autora. Našemu přístupu nejbližší se nakonec ukázaly nový historismus (vzhledem ke zdůrazňování kontextu díla) a psychoanalytická kritika, z níž se...9.2 Abstract In this Master's thesis we have attempted to interpret Émile Ajar's novel La Vie devant soi using knowledge based on the psychoanalytic theory of trans-generational transmission. This theory assumes that a person who has been the victim of a traumatic experience cannot consciously refer to it, either through embarrassment or due to the fact that the trauma cannot be referred to verbally. However, he or she can refer to such traumas subconsciously in hints or symbols, precisely because expressing traumas, or their symbolisation in words, is the most effective therapy. If the trauma is not erased, it is transferred further trans-generationally. We consider Émile Ajar's La Vie devant soi to be a suitable work for applying the above- mentioned theory, not only due to the extraordinary life story of the author, but also as concerns the novel itself. Émile Ajar is a pseudonym of the well-known author Romain Gary (born Roman Kacew) who created the character of Émile Ajar in order to write freely regardless of what was expected of Gary as an established author and moreover, a well-known supporter of de Gaulle. As Gary's play on identities was brought to light only after his death, he was the only author to have ever been awarded the Goncourt Prize twice - the second time as Émile Ajar in La Vie devant...Katedra francouzského jazyka a literaturyPedagogická fakultaFaculty of Educatio
