O objetivo principal da tese será a problematização desse conceito de emancipação na sua singularidade como estando ligado a escrita e a leitura. Esse conceito supõe uma revisão das ideias de História e História da Literatura. O fio conductor da emancipação tem como personagem conceptual o anônimo, ou “Anon”. Ele permite conceber os efeitos específicos que a literatura tem sobre as subjetividades, pois apresenta uma possibilidade de existência numa espécie de dupla vida no interior das condições recebidas sejam elas ou não discriminatórias, criando, ao mesmo tempo, uma existência outra. É uma figura mista e ambígua que existe apenas na escrita e que torna-se visível no ato de leitura. Pretendemos problematizar a questão política da emancipação das mulheres pela literatura, entendidas como “anônimas” pelo anteriormente exposto, no seio da crítica à história literária que Woolf levanta nos seus ensaios lendo a história da literatura universal a partir da figura dos anônimos leitores e escritores. / The work of Virginia Woolf can be understood as an emancipatory thinking she developed both as an essayist and as a writer of fiction. The main purpose of this dissertation is to problematize that very notion of emancipation as singularly linked to writing and reading. Such a concept of emancipation entails a reconsideration of the ideas of History and History of Literature. The unifying thread of the notion of emancipation would be the conceptual literary character of the anonymous, or “Anon”. That character allows to conceive the specific effects that literature has over subjectivities, since it represents the possibility of existing in a short of double life while living in a context of given conditions that might be discriminatory or not, creating at the same time an alternative existence. It constitutes a mixed an ambiguous figure only possible through writing, one which becomes visible during the act of reading. In this dissertation, we aim at problematizing the political problem of the emancipation of women in literature -women understood here as “anonymous” in the sense described before- contextualizing it in the critique of the history of universal literature that Woolf provides in her essays, mainly through the figure of anonymous writers and readers.

Katherine Mansfield och Virginia Woolf : Masker och självidentiteter / Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf : Masks and self-identities

Eriksson, Charlotte January 2015 (has links)
This paper investigates the relationship between the two modernist writers Katherine Mansfield and Virginia Woolf. The two authors had a frail and complicated friendship that influenced their fiction and fictional characters more than the general public knows. My paper investigates how Woolf can have found her fictional story ideas direct from their friendship. With a comparative theory I’m finding and giving examples of how their friendship is reflected in their fictional stories, and I’m backing up my examples with citations from their own diaries, letters and notebooks. Another important part in my paper is the theme of masks and multiple identities. The two authors both expressed the need to hide behind different masks in order to please the society and their surroundings. This feeling, and this theme of multi pleidentities, also shines through in their fiction, and I will exemplify it with parts from their novels and short stories, and also develop my own thoughts on why they felt the need to use these false masks.

O enredo dessa biografia ficcional permite traçar pontos de interseção entre as considerações sobre androginia, não-linearidade, flexibilidade e mutabilidade dos sexos promovidas por Woolf. Para a análise da proposta inusitada de Woolf, que constrói a metamorfose de Orlando, foram utilizados os estudos de Um teto todo seu (2014), de Virginia Woolf, e A crítica feminista no território selvagem, de Elaine Showalter (1994). Para a realização da congruência de Orlando, uma biografia, com os Estudos de Gênero, tornou-se essencial a compreensão dos conceitos elaborados por Simone de Beauvoir, em O segundo sexo, v. 2: a experiência vivida, (1967); Joan Scott, em Gênero: uma categoria útil de análise histórica (1995) e Judith Butler, em Problemas de gênero: feminismo e subversão da identidade (2003). A flexibilidade e as variações de gênero suscitadas por Woolf contrapõem-se aos rígidos conceitos construídos para o masculino e para o feminino, assim como a característica inalterável da sexualidade. Em 1928, com Orlando, uma biografia, Virginia Woolf antecipou a questão de gênero, tão atual e pertinente na busca do respeito às liberdades e na extinção dos formatos preestabelecidos que insistem em determinar o comportamento mais intrínseco dos indivíduos. / This present Master's Thesis aims to reflect upon the importance of the correlation between Literary Studies and Gender Studies, based on the analysis of Orlando, a biography, by Virginia Woolf, in which the main character, Orlando, defies the borders between male and female, when transforming himself sexually, in a natural way. The plot of the fictional biography allows to trace intersection points concerning androgyny, non-linearity, flexibility and changeability of gender, created by Woolf. For the analysis of Woolf's unusual proposal, which constructs Orlando's metamorphosis, the following studies were used: A room of One's Own (2014), by Virginia Woolf, and Criticism and the Wilderness (1994), by Elaine Showalter. To accomplish the congruency of Orlando, a biography, with Gender Studies, it is essential to comprehend the concepts proposed by Simone de Beauvoir, in The Second Sex, v. 2: a living experience, (1967); Jon Scott, in Gender: a useful category of Historical Analysis (1995) and Judith Butler, in Gender Problems: Feminism and Subversion of Identity (2003). The flexibility and gender variations expressed by Woolf contrast with the strict concepts once built concerning male and female, as well as the unchangeable characteristic of the sexuality. In 1928, with Orlando, a biography, Virginia Woolf anticipated the gender issue, so recent and pertinent in the search for respect to the liberty and the extinction of the preestablished forms that insist on determining the most inherent behaviour of the individuals.

O livro que se configura como objeto de estudo narra a saga de uma família vitoriana que claramente se assemelha à própria família de Woolf, abrangendo o espaço de tempo de 1880 até os anos 1930, e dessa forma também abarcando as mudanças não só familiares, como também da sociedade inglesa. Com esse propósito, buscou-se inicialmente apresentar a biografia da escritora, seguido de um breve panorama da literatura de autoria feminina e da análise da produção crítica de Woolf, criando um paralelo em relação ao uso das experiências pessoais entre sua teoria e sua prática. Em um segundo momento, discute-se as teorias relacionadas à escrita de si, almejando encontrar uma que possa melhor definir a prática de escrita utilizada em Os anos. Não encontrando um conceito adequado ao objeto de estudo, apresentou-se uma expansão da noção de romance autobiográfico, levando em consideração todas as informações obtidas durante a pesquisa. Por fim, é feita uma análise do livro Os anos, discutindo seu enredo, simbolismos e apresentação das personagens femininas, culminando no cruzamento dos dados biográficos obtidos através de biografias e autobiografias com a história narrada. / The aim of this study is to discuss the connection between the private life of the British writer Virginia Woolf and her fictional work The years, pointing out which of her private experiences were used as a creative source in the autobiographical space present at the aforementioned title. The book, which is the object of this study, tells the story of a Victorian family that clearly resembles Woolf's own family. It is set from 1880 to 1930, thus depicting not only the changes in the families, but also in the British society as a whole. Having this study's purpose as basis, a biography of the writer was firstly presented, followed by a brief women's writing overview and by an analysis of Woolf's literary criticism, establishing a connection between her theory and the practice concerning the usage of private experiences. Secondly, theories on self-writing are discussed, aiming to find one which can define the writing practice used in The years. As a consequence for not finding a suitable concept for the object of this study, an expansion of the idea of autobiographical romance was introduced, taking all the information obtained during the research process into account. Finally, an examination of the book The years was carried out, analyzing its plot, symbolism and female characters, resulting in a cross-check of biographical data - which was obtained from biographies and autobiographies - and the story told.

[en] AN ELEGY TO IMAGERY: FICTION AND METAPHOR FROM VIRGINIA WOOLF S LITERARY ESSAYS AND WRITINGS (1911 - 1941) / [pt] UMA ELEGIA À IMAGERIA: FICÇÃO E METÁFORA A PARTIR DOS ESCRITOS LITERÁRIOS E ENSAÍSTICOS DE VIRGINIA WOOLF (1911-1941)

ANA CAROLINA DE AZEVEDO GUEDES 29 April 2021 (has links)
[pt] No presente trabalho pretendo analisar a presença da imageria enquanto uma união entre imagens, sons e percepções presentes na leitura das obras de Virginia Woolf, produzidas entre 1911 e 1941. Percebendo as mudanças que o fim do reinado da Rainha Victória (1837 – 1901) e a entrada do Rei Edward VII (1901-1910) e George V (1910 – 1936), o trabalho busca demonstrar como as metáforas utilizadas por Virginia Woolf comunicam sobre como se constituiu a ficção e a ficcionalidade nos primeiros quarenta anos do século XX. Para isso, mobilizo a teoria da metaforologia de Hans Blumenberg e, a partir dela, desenvolvo a noção de imageria, como uma correlação entre símbolo, ritmo e metáfora, em um processo pós-estético na construção de mimesis em Luiz Costa Lima. É através dessa chave que analiso as obras de Virginia Woolf, localizando as metáforas que ela utiliza em Jacobs Room (1922), Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), Orlando: a biography (1928), The Waves (1931) e The Years (1937), além de seus ensaios literários publicados em revistas literárias. Meu objetivo é demonstrar como os escritos woolfianos se preocupam com o uso metafórico como forma de expressão narrativa e sensorial, abrindo ao leitor um espaço para ação. A noção de imageria seria um caminho para pensar como essas formas se constituem e propõem um caminho interpretativo para as obras que não simplificam ou tornam as obras análogas ao biográfico. / [en] In the present work I intend to analyze the presence of imagery as a union between images, sounds and perceptions present in the reading of the works of Virginia Woolf, produced between 1911 and 1941. Realizing the changes that the end of the Victorian period (1837 - 1901) and the entrance in the Edwardian (1901-1910) and Georgian (1910 - 1936) period, the work seeks to demonstrate how the metaphors used by Virginia Woolf communicate about how fiction and fictionality were constituted in the first forty years of the 20th century. For this, I mobilize Hans Blumenberg s theory of metaphorology and, from it, I develop the notion of imagery, as a correlation between symbol, rhythm and metaphor, in a post-aesthetic process in the construction of mimesis in Luiz Costa Lima. It is through this key that I analyze the works of Virginia Woolf, locating the metaphors she uses in Jacobs Room (1922), Mrs Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927), Orlando: a biography (1928), The Waves (1931) and The Years (1937), in addition to his literary essays published in literary magazines. My goal is to demonstrate how Woolfian writings are concerned with metaphorical use as a form of narrative and sensory expression, opening up a space for action for the reader. The notion of imagery would be a way to think about how these forms are constituted and propose an interpretative path for works that do not simplify or make works analogous to the biographical.
