O carnavalesco em contos escolhidos de Deborah Eisenberg e Wells Tower
No full textMestrado em Línguas, Literaturas e CulturasEsta dissertação analisa a aplicação do conceito do carnavalesco em termos de aspectos formais e temáticos às obras de dois importantes escritores de contos norteamericanos, Deborah Eisenberg e Wells Tower. Enquanto as narrativas de Tower apresentam o uso de “billingsgate”, e outras características grotescas, bem como as inversões de paródia, ironia e também humor negro, o clima carnavalesco bakhtiniano que pressuponha uma celebração festiva que supostamente confronta a cultura dominante está ausente. Deborah Eisenberg, por outro lado, engloba bem o aspecto dialógico, polifónico e heteroglóssico das teorias bakhtinianas, com interessantes inversões paródicas. No entanto, mesmo as suas narrativas não podem ser designadas como carnavalescas, pelo menos não no verdadeiro sentido do termo bakhtiniano. A análise realizada revela que a análise destas narrativas breves e contemporâneas seguindo uma perspectiva estritamente bakhtiniana do carnavalesco é impossível, e embora dê frutos em alguns aspectos, a reavaliação de alguns princípios básicos de Bakhtin é necessária para atender às exigências desencantadas dos tempos modernos.The dissertation deals with contemporary American short stories and the analysis of the application of the concept of the carnivalesque to both formal and thematic aspects in the works of two prominent American short story writers Deborah Eisenberg and Wells Tower. While Tower´s stories show billingsgate and grotesque features, as well as parodic and ironic inversions and dark humour, the Bakhtinian carnivalesque atmosphere of festive celebration that counters the dominant culture is lost. Deborah Eisenberg on the other hand encompasses well the dialogic, polyphonic and heteroglossic aspect present in Bakhtin’s theories, with interesting parodic inversions. However, even her stories cannot be termed as carnivalesque, at least not in the truly Bakhtinian sense of the word. The analysis conducted therefore reveals that analyzing these contemporary short stories following a strictly Bakhtinian perspective of the carnivalesque is impossible, and although it bears fruit in some aspects, the reevaluation of some of Bakhtin´s basic principles is needed to suit the disenchanted requirements of modern times.

Late Gothic architecture in South West England : four major centres of building activity at Wells, Bristol, Sherbourne and Bath
No full textBy 1360 the Perpendicular style was established as the successor to Decorated
architecture. During the subsequent one hundred and eighty years, until the Reformation,
major building work was carried out at four great churches in the south west of England.
The complete reconstructions of St Mary Redcliffe, Sherborne Abbey and Bath Abbey, and
considerable work to the precinct at Wells Cathedral during this period, form the basis for
this thesis. Through a study of each of these major centres, the issues of workshop identity
and stylistic trendsetters are considered.
It is shown how the interpretation of documentary evidence has impeded an
understanding of these buildings, which can be revealed by an analysis of the fabric. Based
primarily on a methodology of buildings archaeology and assessment of moulding profiles,
traditional assumptions concerning the chronology and patronage are challenged.
The new chronology for works at Sherborne Abbey, and the redating of the
commencement of Bath Abbey further our understanding of the nature of masons'
workshops, patronage and stylistic development within a regional context. Introspection in
masons' workshops during the 15th century, and retrospection in later design in the region,
demonstrates a reliance on the innovations of the 14th century, and the significance of the
parish church tradition in the region, respectively. The thesis concludes with a discussion on
the influence of major church workshops on domestic architecture, and the impact of the
dissemination of the lodges in the early 16th century
