"Dying, in other words" : discourses of dis-ease and cure in the last works of Jane Austen and Barbara PymStaunton, S. Jane. January 1997 (has links)
The last works of Jane Austen and Barbara Pym, written while each was knowingly dying, both continue and transform a discourse of illness and cure traceable through their canon. Illness figures both literally and metaphorically in their narratives; in Austen as failures in wholeness and in Pym as failures in love. After undergoing the metaphorically medical treatments of purging and vivifying in Austen and inoculating in Pym, their female protagonists achieve conditions of health and wholeness by closure of the narrative. In the dying works, individual metaphorical illnesses become a general societal condition of fragmentation, and cure becomes more elusive. The shared use of a village undergoing profound change reflects each writer's own bodily transformation as certain death approaches, and the restoration of health to the village-as-body becomes one of achieving balance or homeostasis. This is effected in the narrative by the hinted-at curative powers of nature in Sanditon and of restored faith in A Few Green Leaves. On a theoretical level, both texts reflect their narratives of dis-ease and cure. Pym's last text remained unpublished before her death and therefore "ill" because not functioning, but second opinions and faith in her reputation confirmed its public health. Austen's Sanditon as a fragment embodies its own discourse of dis-ease, or failure of wholeness, and requires a curative act on the part of the reader to restore it to some sense of ideal wholeness or health.

Previous issue date: 2007 / Resumo: Este estudo teve por objetivo compreender os motivos pelos quais centenas de sulistas emigraram dos EUA para o Brasil a partir do final da Guerra de Secessão, em especial a partir da Reconstrução, em 1867. Argumentamos que
o principal fator para a escolha do Brasil como destino incluía a existência de uma estrutura social hierarquizada cuja base residia na escravidão. Entre os principais líderes estavam militares confederados bem como políticos pró-escravidão e seus filhos. Os insucessos e infortúnios nas diferentes colônias confederadas estiveram associados às dificuldades em restabelecer a ligação que possuíam com o circuito mercantil-escravista. A única colônia que prosperou foi aquela localizada em uma região com um dos principais mercados de cativos do Brasil imperial: a colônia de Santa Bárbara, na região de Campinas. Não obstante a historiografia ter negado o papel da escravidão para a constituição da colônia, a análise documental mais detalhada revela-nos a altíssima relevância das relações dos confederados com o circuito mercantil
escravista. Enquanto estiveram a ele ligados, as forças centrípetas da colônia eram suficientemente fortes para evitar a dispersão do grupo. É a partir de fins do século XIX, com a abolição da escravidão e a decadência progressiva da agricultura algodoeira que a colônia começa a se desintegrar. Apesar da maioria dos imigrantes e seus descendentes realizarem
esforços na substituição do algodão por outro gênero comercial, a cana-de-açúcar, aos poucos a área das fazendas se reduz em função da queda na rentabilidade e das divisões destas quando da partilha da herança. A atividade agrícola dos confederados e descendentes passa então a tender à subsistência, e os membros da colônia se integram de maneira mais
efetiva ao meio social circundante. Anos mais tarde, os casamentos entre membros da colônia tornam-se raros. Ao período de integração social segue-se o de dispersão geográfica dos confederados, culminando com sua diluição em meio
à população de Santa Bárbara e Americana, cada vez mais marcadas pela presença do imigrante italiano / Abstract: The objective of this study is to understand the reasons for which hundreds of southemers emigrated from USA to Brazil at the end of the American Civil War, especially after the Reconstruction, in 1867. We argued that the main factor for the
choice of Brazil as their destiny included the existence of a hierarchical social structure based on slavery. Among their main leaders there were military confederates as well as proslavery politicians and their sons. The failures and misfortunes among the confederate colonies were associated to the difficulties in reestablishing the connection that they possessed with the agrarian slave market circuit. The only colony that prospered was that located within an area with one of the main markets
of slaves of imperial Brazil: Santa Bárbara colony, near Campinas. In spite of the denial from the historiography of the role of the slavery for the constitution of the colony, a detailed documental analysis reveals us the high relevance of the confederates' relationships with the agrarian slave market circuit. While they were linked, the cohesive forces of the colony were sufficiently strong to avoid the dispersion of the group. After the end of nineteenth century, with the abolition of the slavery and the
progressive decadence of the cotton agriculture, the colony begins dissolving. In spite of most of the immigrants and their descendants to accomplish efforts in the substitution of the cotton for other commercial gender, mostly sugarcane, the area
of the farms was reduced in function of the fali in the profitability and divisions of these because of the sharing of inheritances.
The agricultural activity of the confederates' and their descendants tended to subsistence, and the members of the colony were effectively integrated to their surrounding social atmosphere. Years later, the marriages among colony members become rare. After this period of social integration, the confederates dispersed geographically, culminating with their dilution amid Americana and Santa Bárbara's population, more and more marked by the presence of the Italian immigrant / Mestrado / Historia Economica / Mestre em Desenvolvimento Econômico

Previous issue date: 2006 / Resumo: Este projeto aborda de forma crítica e interdisciplinar os lamentos da compositora do seicento italiano, Barbara Strozzi. Para realizá-lo, diferentes abordagens tornaram-se necessárias: primeiramente fiz uma análise de seus lamentos mais representativos. Em segundo lugar, o confronto destas obras com obras similares de diferentes autores possibilitou a compreensão dos ideais estéticos e expressivos do período; e por último, estabeleci as conexões entre estas obras e o cenário cultural e ideológico que as circunda. As vozes de muitas mulheres, poetas e musicistas, criam um denso diálogo com a voz de nossa Venere canora. De Safo a Gaspara Stampa, das heroínas de Ovídio a Barbara Strozzi, todas elas expressam as dores do abandono com as cores violentas do desejo erótico. Tento explicar como a obra de Strozzi encaixa-se nesta tradição e como ela constrói a figura do ser abandonado dentro de um novo contexto, permeado pela força propulsora de Giambattista Marino. Como anfitriã da Accademia degli Unisoni, Barbara Strozzi cria uma música que dialoga com os intelectuais e poetas que freqüentam sua academia, usando uma linguagem que jocosamente provoca, seduz e corajosamente reafirma seu lugar como cortesã / Abstract: This project adresses in a critical and interdisciplinary way the Laments of the seicento woman composer Barbara Strozzi. This task is approached in three complementary steps: firstly an analysis of her most representative laments; secondly, confronting these works with similar ones from different authors, which enables us to understand the aesthetic and expressive ideals of the period; and thirdly the connections between these works and the cultural and ideological scenery that surrounds them. The voices from many women poets and musicians create a dense dialogue with the Venere Canora?s own singing voice. From Sappho to Gaspara Stampa, from Ovid?s heroines to Barbara Strozzi, they all express the pains of abandonment with the violent shades of erotic longing. I try to explain how Strozzi?s work fits into this tradition and how she constructs the figure of the abandoned being within a new poetic and cultural environment, permeated by the revigorating impulse of Giambattista Marino. Being the hostess of the Venetian Accademia degli Unisoni, Barbara Strozzi creates a music that dialogues with her male visitors in a language that wittily provokes, allures and bravely restates her position as a courtesan / Doutorado / Mestre em Música
