Forme romanesque et contestation de l’histoire dans La fille de Christophe Colomb de Réjean DucharmeHobbs, Sandra Claire 05 1900 (has links)
La Fille de Christophe Colomb (Paris: Gallirnard, 1969) is a novel written by
Rejean Ducharme in rhyming verse resembling an epic poem In this thesis, it will be
shown that the form of the novel serves to emphasize the contestation of History evident
in the novel's content. While this novel is certainly unusual in Ducharme's work it fits into
the ambiant literary discourse of Quebec in the 1960's, where the theories of
decolonisation influenced writers and critics alike. In particular, History was seen to be
imposed on Quebec from the outside; Quebec must necessarily reject this History and
begin to make its own. This underlying assumption for the analysis proposed in this thesis
will be demonstrated in Chapter One through reflections by Ducharme's contemporaries,
existing criticism of La Fille de' Christophe Colomb, and by current theories of
postcolonial writing. In Chapter Two, the epic form of the novel will be studied in detail.
On the surface, the author appears to respect the "rules" of the genre, but a close reading
of the text will show that this respect is only superficial, and that the rules are subverted to
create tension between literary norms and Ducharme's writing. It is the narrative structure
of the novel, however, that proves to be the most subversive deviation from the norms of
the epic poem: although the majority of the novel is narrated in the third person, a
substantial fragmentation of the narrative voice occurs which will be demonstrated in
Chapter Three. The net impact of this fragmentation is to produce a conflict between the
codes of the epic poem and the novel. At the end of the analysis of the relationship
between literary form and contestation of History in La Fille de Christophe Colomb, it
will be shown that the form, as an element separate from the content, conveys a
problematic relationship between this text and History. The novel contributes to the
contestation of History as practised in the literature of Quebec in the 1960's by subverting
the literary code, thereby linking literary history to History as colonizing factors that are
questioned in this novel.

Rabindranath Tagore's thoughts on education from a socio-political perspectiveDhar, Suranjita Nina. January 1996 (has links)
This thesis explores five documents written by Tagore between 1906 and 1940. Tagore was writing at a time when India was struggling for independence. Among his numerous concerns, he wanted an India which could be compassionate and humane. He realized that such a lofty goal could only be achieved through an education system which not only encouraged these qualities but allowed students to cultivate them by understanding the world around them. Central to the arguments in this thesis is Tagore's discussion of the tapobon, the Indian meditative forest. The tapobon is seen as metaphorical place for contemplation in deciphering the world and developing an understanding of one's place in it. The documents examined here reflect the breadth and depth of Tagore's thoughts on education though they are only a sampling of the extensive work he did in his lifetime.

Vampires incorporated : self-definition in Anne Rice's Vampire chroniclesChandler, Anthony N. January 1997 (has links)
This thesis examines the use of orality as a means to self-definition in Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. The main contention of this thesis is that within the Vampire Chronicles orality defines the self through incorporation, and that the bodily incorporation of food through a sexual consumption leads the vampire to naturally evolve a sense of who he or she is at any given moment in time. It is in this manner that this article discusses how the body, sexuality, food, and the possession of financial capital define and limit the individual's notion of self.

Reflecting Woolf : Virginia Woolf's feminist politics and modernist aestheticsPolychronakos, Helen. January 1999 (has links)
No study of Virginia Woolf can do justice to the complexity of her life and work without taking into account the numerous contradictions present in her thought. Though Woolf is recognized as a revolutionary contributor to the development of modernism, it is also important to remember that she was born in 1882 and that the nineteenth century also left its mark on her. The first chapter will examine this double sensibility. The second chapter will trace the development of Woolf's modernist aesthetic. She was obviously rebelling against the realism valued by her Victorian and Edwardian predecessors when she conceived of a literary style capable of abstracting from purely formal elements a more "profound reality" than that captured by objective and representational descriptions. Despite this revolutionary tendency, she constructs a hierarchy of "realities" that is somewhat elitist in its mysticism and runs counter to the revolutionary feminist and Marxist thought evident in so much of her work. The last chapter will examine the contradictions that riddle Woolf's feminist writings.

Concepts of the father in the art of women.Speight, Elizabeth. January 2003 (has links)
This dissertation explores the gendered division of childcare in terms of concepts of the father and examines how these concepts have impacted on the production of women artists in the history of western art. The survey is restricted to western culture and is subdivided, according to changes in concepts of the father, into roughly three periods: the era of the pre-modern father, the era of the modern ideology regarding the mother, and the postmodern era, in which a new concept of the father was articulated. / Thesis (M.A.F.A.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2003.
