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
Datastory: Are women submitting fewer grant proposals?

Studies and surveys confirm that during the COVID-19 pandemic, women’s workload at home has increased. Does that mean women researchers are also submitting fewer proposals to the SNSF? Analyses show that, with one exception, their share has remained stable.

Productivity, wages and intrinsic motivation in social enterprises
Get PDFIn our empirical analysis of wage differentials in a sample of workers in the cooperative not for profit sector we find that, consistently with the donative-labor hypothesis, more intrinsically motivated workers “donate more work” (unpaid overtime, arrear holidays) but are also more productive and earn significantly higher wages. Our results are robust to several measures of workers’ remuneration and controlled for endogeneity. We interpret these findings by arguing that the hypothesis of the static negative correlation between intrinsic motivations and wages (where intrinsic motivations work as a compensating differential) is dominated by the effect by which intrinsic motivations cause or are a signal of higher productivity.Productivity; wages; intrinsic motivation; social enterprises

Anne Hebert's Le tombeau des rois
No full textDuring the forties, when Anne Hubert was writing the poems of Le Tombeau des rois Quebec writers and critics (most of whom were male) were consumed by the oppression of the Duplessis era. Hubert's cousin, Hector de Saint-Denys Garneau felt so greatly the pressure to live a life defined by the Other, that his pain not only produced great anguish, but inspired very notable poetry. His metaphor of the French Canadian as a caged bird resurfaces in Hubert's work. In fact, the motif of the bird appears throughout Le Tombeau des rois. The bird as a guide, although blinded, leads the heroine to the place where she must confront death: the tomb. The tomb or cave is, however, not only the place of death, but also of rebirth. The tomb becomes the "womb" of the Mother where sisters and brothers are reborn. Images of sacrifice, of rebirth, reappear constantly in women's literature and mythology. The aim of this thesis is to reinterpret these motifs and others found in Anne Hubert's poetry. It is part of the feminist project to revise the mythology of Patriarchy so that women and women's writing might be 'read' authentically. This approach is an attempt to break down the critical walls which have defined Anne Hubert in a closed, patriarchal way.
Anne Hubert was writing while the oppressive forces of the Catholic Church suffocated women and men who were desperately searching out their own identity. Women were defined as either "mothers" or "virgins". Mothers had the responsability to maintain the French language and culture, while unmarried women, were burdened with the guilt of their "evil sex"; women were metaphorically stripped of their flesh so as not to be "temptresses". In Le Tombeau des rois, the heroine is torn between being the "good girl" and breaking free from the "house" which has confined her. Other women writers express the same struggle in their texts. I have attempted to search out some of the images and motifs which connect Anne Hubert to modern women writers, to pick up an intertextual thread which weaves through these texts and connects Hubert's own texts. By making these connections, I have attempted to highlight a hidden subtext, an "ucriture au fuminin" which has been concealed by the dominant criticism of of her work. Traditional critics of Anne Hubert's poems and prose have agreed that this woman has played an important role in the struggle for national identity. That is one interpretation. I have emphasized that women have been doubly exploited, and that Hubert's struggle towards the "feminine" has been hidden beneath the surface of traditional criticism. To crack the calm surface of the status quo, to dive down into the deep, unmapped waters, to follow the thread back to the "womb", is to accompany this author on her quest in Le Tombeau des rois.Arts, Faculty ofFrench, Hispanic, and Italian Studies, Department ofGraduat
Estranging science, fictionalizing bodies: viral invasions, infectious fictions, and the biological discourses of "the human," 1818-2005.
No full textIn 1818, Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein causes science and literature--two different discourses, two different signifying systems, two different realities--to collide. As it addresses the givenness, or "naturalness," of "the human," Frankenstein reimagines the putative boundary between the human and the nonhuman, a fictive border made perceptible by contemporary scientific investigation. Catalyzing a new genre, science fiction, Shelley estranges the enlightenment discourse of "reason," revealing it as a highly regulative structure through which societies are forged and bodies governed. "Estranging Science, Fictionalizing Bodies: Viral Invasion, Infectious Fictions, and the Biological Discourses of 'the Human,' 1818-2005," posits a mutually infective relationship between science and literature. It both exposes the logic of purification that delimits "modern" forms of knowledge as discursively distinct (science v. literature) and considers how this distinction informs the evolutionary/philosophical shifts in how we think about the possible, the human, and the novel. Since literature plays a significant role in the history of science and science a significant role in the history of literature, the dissertation uses each imaginary technology to interpret the other. In so doing, it defamiliarizes and recontextualizes not only individual texts, but entire literary histories and scientific discourses that are rarely thought of as science fiction. Finally, the dissertation argues that the question of "the human," of what we invoke when we invoke "the human," emerges most powerfully through an interpretive matrix of science and literature, genre and the novel. Though radically different methods of shaping those narratives that concern us all, science and literature both employ the process by which novelty enters the world and affects our experience of the self and the relatedness of bodies. The epistemological--and epidemiological--encounters the dissertation explores make possible a whole range of new entities, properties, and kinships that connect through unfamiliar evolutionary and intellectual bonds. "Human nature" emerges as neither essential nor unchanging, random nor inevitable.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 288-304)
Writing the Ethics of Water in Michael Ondaatje, Thomas King, and Anne Michaels
No full textIn July 2010, the United Nations declared access to water and sanitation a human
right. Certainly a success for water rights advocates worldwide, this resolution also poses
a number of questions, such as how to find and distribute this water on a planet that is
running out of fresh water (Barlow et al, Blue Gold xi). With this question in mind, this
thesis looks at the treatment of water management projects in Michael Ondaatje’s In the
Skin of a Lion (1987), Thomas King’s Green Grass, Running Water (1993), and Anne
Michaels’ The Winter Vault (2009). More specifically, it examines the ways competing
visions of the common good and of what development should (and should not) look like
are imbricated therein. In so doing, my discussion focuses on the inextricability of social
justice from water justice and it suggests that narrative can play a key role in connecting
the two
