Forces of nature in the naturalistic novel : Dreiser and Hardy

Dolph, Annette R. January 2006 (has links)
This study refocuses the current critical discussion of determinism and character identity development in Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie, a predominantly "urban" novel, by juxtaposing the ways in which the natural world functions deterministically in Thomas Hardy's The Return of the Native and Theodore Dreiser's The Bulwark. First, a close reading of The Return of the Native suggests that characters' interactions with the natural world determine their identities by forcing shifts in perception and complicating their abilities to assert an identity apart from their environments. Then, a reading of The Bulwark—a novel in which Dreiser deals with the natural world quite directly—allows an exploration of how these same patterns of perception, understanding, and identity formation take shape in a text by Dreiser. The final chapter of this study synthesizes these readings of The Return of the Native and The Bulwark as a means of entry into an analysis of Sister Carrie's deterministic forces. Ultimately, attention to how the natural world influences characters through its timelessness and infinite size, as well as to how the natural world shapes a character's perspective and sense of self, adds to our understanding of the novel's determinism. / Department of English

O analista no campo analisante: dos impasses às transformações possíveis / The analyst in the analyzing field: from impasse to possible transformations

Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-28T20:38:46Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Gina Tamburrino.pdf: 815895 bytes, checksum: 86f20820850cb0fbeab1d4f5ee52fe5a (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-10-25 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / This thesis results from an effort to penetrate questions regarding impasse that is formed and transformed in the relationship between the analyst and the analysand. The clinical work is understood and organized taking into consideration an intersubjective vertex, thus the concept of analyzing field is forged to demonstrate the analyst s implication in the formation and transformation of the shared unconscious fantasy. The highlight of the research is the presentation of the hypothesis that, in certain moments, the analyst s mind presents a dysfunctional quality in order to receive, to sustain and to prepare the field for the production of the analyzing pair. In these moments, the shared unconscious fantasy transforms itself into shared resistance: bulwarks , chronic enactments and acute enactments; the important thing to be investigated is how this kind of configuration is formed and how it transforms itself, always considering the dialectic impasse ↔ possible transformations. Besides it interests us the fact that the dysfunction in the analyzing field isn t always generated by the difficulties of a disturbed patient, it can also be caused by a disturbed analyst that, in such cases, becomes the main responsible for the functional inversion of the field to the detriment of the analysand. The main focus of this study is, above all, how the analyst wanders in the analyzing field beyond the non-analyzed questions / Esta tese resulta de um esforço no sentido de penetrar questões em torno dos impasses que se formam e transformam no encontro entre analista e analisando. O trabalho clínico é considerado e organizado dentro de um vértice intersubjetivo, de modo que o conceito de campo analisante é forjado para abordar a implicação do analista na formação e transformação da fantasia inconsciente compartilhada. Um ponto de grande importância, auge desta pesquisa, é a apresentação da hipótese de que em certos momentos a mente do analista apresenta uma qualidade disfuncional para receber, conter e elaborar a lavoura do campo, e, portanto, as produções da dupla analisante. Nesses momentos a fantasia inconsciente compartilhada se transforma em resistências compartilhadas: baluartes, enactments crônicos e enactments agudos. Importa investigar como essas formações se dão e como se transformam, sempre atentando para a dialética impasses↔transformações possíveis. Para além disso, há um interesse sobre o fato de que o disfuncionamento do campo analisante nem sempre está revestido das dificuldades impostas por um paciente perturbado, mas que o analista é que se encontra perturbado e determina, em grande medida, a inversão do funcionamento do campo em desfavor do analisando. É, sobretudo, sobre esse aspecto que este desenvolvimento se debruça, isto é, como se move o analista no campo analisante para além das questões não analisadas
