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
Pandeleteius distinctus Voss
No full text<i>Pandeleteius distinctus</i> (Voss) <p>(Fig. 20)</p> <p> <i>Hadromeropsis (Pandeleteinus) distinctus</i> Voss 1954: 232. <i>Pandeleteius distinctus</i> (Voss): Howden 1982: 2.</p> <p> <b>Diagnosis</b> (based on Voss’s description and his interpretation of <i>Hadromeropsis</i> and <i>Pandeleteinus</i>). Length 3.5 mm. Scales of dorsal surface predominantly brown, thorax with two narrow gray vittae, elytral suture and sides of elytra gray, gray areas blending in with the brown and forming an indistinct oblique band on the apex of the elytra. Setae very short, curved. Frons twice as wide as length of eyes and as wide as rostrum, eyes moderately strongly convex. Antennal club twice as long as wide, spindle-shaped. Thorax as long as wide, sides rather strongly and symmetrically rounded, slightly wider anteriorly; basal and apical constrictions of equal width; disc between scales interspersed with shiny wrinkles. Elytra in dorsal outline with sides parallel, straight to apical third, here strongly rounded to the narrowed apex, the latter short, attenuated, beak-like; strial punctures fine, intervals wide and flat. Fore coxae “continuous” (see remarks). Fore femur very enlarged, fore tibia straight, only apex very feebly bent inwards and inner edge tuberculate-dentate; segments 1 and 2 of fore tarsus equal in length, each somewhat longer than wide, robust.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> Voss (1954:232) considered <i>Pandeleteius distinctus</i> to belong to the former subgenus <i>Pandeleteinus</i> Champion (1911) on the grounds that its fore coxae were contiguous, as in <i>Pandeleteinus submetallicus</i> Schaeffer. In fact, <i>Pandeleteinus submetallicus</i> and all subsequently described species of <i>Pandeleteius</i> have separate fore coxae, although they may appear to be contiguous if the coxae obscure the area.</p> <p> <i>Pandeleteius distinctus</i> was evidently described from a single specimen (single measurement, single locality), probably a male (fore coxae “contiguous”, fore femur “very enlarged”). This type was “destroyed in the war” with the Voss collection (Voss, in litt., 22 May 1963; Weidner 1976:129), the label data are “Südperu: Ica (21.3.1936, Hamb. Südperu-Expedition)”.</p> <p> The description of <i>P. d i s t i n c t u s</i> differs from that of <i>P. peruvianus</i> (see below) in: 1) sides of prothorax rather strongly and symmetrically rounded, 2) prothorax with “shiny wrinkles” interspersed between the scales, 3) fore coxae “contiguous” as in <i>Pandeleteius griseus</i> Voss, 4) apex of elytra rounded, shortly beakshaped as in <i>P. g r i s e u s</i>, 5) fore femur greatly enlarged. All of these descriptors are too imprecise to be useful for comparative purposes, with the possible exception of the surface of the prothorax. The descriptor “shiny wrinkles” may relate to an abraded specimen, although there is a color pattern given for the prothorax.</p> <p> Voss compared <i>P. distinctus</i> with <i>P. g r i s e u s</i> on characters common to many species: straight fore tibia, different shape of the thorax and scales as well as flatter eyes. <i>Pandeleteius griseus</i> has a wide range east of the Andes. Voss also associated <i>P. d i s t i n c t u s</i> with the Costa Rican <i>P. (Exmenetypus) hieroglyphicus</i> Champion on the insubstantial grounds of elytral markings and form of the prothorax, acknowledging that <i>P. d i s t i n c t u s</i> does not have the primary subgeneric character of <i>Exmenetypus:</i> the abruptly raised apex of the rostrum.</p> <p> Assuming that the type of <i>P. distinctus</i> was in fact a male, there is still insufficient evidence to establish its identity as either a distinct species or as a synonym of <i>P. baccharis</i> or <i>P. peruvianus.</i></p>Published as part of <i>Howden, Anne T., 2008, The species of Pandeleteius Schoenherr of coastal Chile and Peru (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), pp. 55-62 in Zootaxa 1773</i> on page 60, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/182167">10.5281/zenodo.182167</a>
Pandeleteius peruvianus Voss
No full textPandeleteius peruvianus Voss (Fig. 20) Pandeleteius peruvianus Voss 1954: 230. Diagnosis (based on Voss’s description). Length 3.5–4.7 mm. Scales predominantly gray, head and thorax medially with wide brown vitta, elytra beside suture with brown spots, apical third with narrow, C-shaped oblique band; brown color in part somewhat “copperglazed”. Setae very short, curved. Frons twice as wide as length of eyes, eyes slightly convex. Antennal club twice as long as wide, as long as segments 2 to 7 of funicle. Thorax almost as long as wide, greatest width anteriorly of middle, sides moderately strongly rounded; basal and apical constrictions cylindrical, of equal width; disc finely and not densely punctured among the scales. Elytral declivity in one sex in profile slightly concave and apex more attenuate; sutural interval at summit of declivity with setae longer, scales paler; intervals much wider than striae. Fore femur much more enlarged than the others, easily half as enlarged as width of thorax. Tibiae straight, fore tibia slightly curved inwards at apex and drawn out in a spine, inner edge sharply dentate. Remarks. Voss compared P. peruvianus with P. variegatus, the only Pandeleteius species known from coastal Peru at that time, but apparently did not see a specimen of P. variegatus (“... P. variegatus MIGHT possess an even wider head..,...the peculiar curved elytral apices in one sex MAY be missing in this species...”, Voss 1954: 231). Because his knowledge of P. v a r i e g a t u s was limited to the illustration and description, his comment on its wider head is understandable (see P. variegatus). The characteristics of P. peruvianus that suggest that its description may apply to baccharis are: 1) elytral declivity slightly concave, apex more attenuate “in one sex”, 2) the longer setae on the sutural interval at the summit of the declivity with longer setae and paler scales IN BOTH SEXES, and 3) the brown color in part somewhat “copperglazed”. Descriptors that do not seem to apply to P. baccharis are: 1) thorax with sides moderately strongly rounded, and 2) fore tibia drawn out in a spine. Because of the Second World War, the publication of Voss’s (1954) work on the Curculilonidae of Peru was delayed for years after it was written and after the types were destroyed. Thus, P. baccharis Kuschel was published earlier and its name has priority over peruvianus and distinctus, whether or not these are synonymous with baccharis. Specimens of Pandeleteius from southwestern Peru are needed to determine the status of P. peruvianus. The type series was also “destroyed in the war” (Voss, in litt., 22 May 1963: Weidner 1976: 129); the label dates are “Südperu: Hac.[Hacienda?] (28.3.1936, Hamb. Südperu-Expedition)”; Viscas- Tal, “in 1000 Höhe (5.4.1936, Hamb. Südperu-Expedition)”.Published as part of Howden, Anne T., 2008, The species of Pandeleteius Schoenherr of coastal Chile and Peru (Coleoptera, Curculionidae), pp. 55-62 in Zootaxa 1773 on page 61, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18216

A sojourn in Paris 1824-25: sex and sociability in the manuscript writings of Anne Lister (1791-1840)
Get PDFThis 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
