Segundo Donna Haraway, na pós-modernidade as tecnologias nos habitam, transformando-nos em ciborgues, sendo a escrita (e, portanto, a literatura) a tecnologia própria dos ciborgues. David Le Breton explica que o corpo é o "rascunho a ser corrigido", complementando a afirmação de Peter Pál Pelbart de que "o eu é o corpo", ao referir-se à relação entre o ser humano e o corpo na contemporaneidade. Tal relação está presente na obra de Peter Carey, especialmente nos contos reunidos no livro The Fat Man in History, edição de 1993. The fat Man in History destaca-se no do contexto da obra do autor por dar relevância ao corpo e mostrar, de maneiras diversas, sua plasticidade e variações / Abstract: Based on the theories of authors such as David Le Breton, Denise Sant'Anna, Katherine Hayles, Jean Baudrillard e Gilles Deleuze, I deal with the relation between the body and the subjectivity relating the body's mutation and modification to the postmodern theories. According to Donna Haraway, in the postmodern era the technology inhabits us, turning us into cyborgs, and the writing (and so, literature) is the cyborgs very technology. David Le Breton explains that the body is a sketch to be corrected, and this goes together with Pelbart's claim that "the body is me", referring to the relation between the body and the human being in the contemporary era. Such a relation is present in Peter Carey's work, mainly in the short stories collected in The Fat man in History, 1993 edition. The Fat Man in History gets a special place in Carey's work because it highlights the body and shows, in many ways, the body's plasticity and mutation / Mestrado / Historia e Historiografia Literaria / Mestre em Teoria e História Literária

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) / This thesis examines a new kind of literary history developed in four postmodern historical romances: Michael Ondaatje’s In the Skin of a Lion and The English Patient, and Peter Carey’s Jack Maggs and True History of the Kelly Gang. By foregrounding their intertexts, these novels expose acts of violence and terror directed against scapegoats, particularly those constructed as criminals, who are perceived to threaten social stability. The novels of Ondaatje and Carey transform these criminals from social transgressors to heroes, from victimizers to victims. They first reconstruct and expose the social dynamics of specific historical contexts drawn from their precursor texts, The Epic of Gilgamesh, Herodotus’s Histories, Great Expectations and Lorna Doone, and then create a form of communal history, which for the first time voices the suppressed narratives of the disenfranchised. The theoretical framework used in the analysis of each text and its intertextual “double” is developed through analyses of desire and imitation in space as well as time. The thesis links René Girard’s theory of rivalry and violence in mimetic desire to Julia Kristeva’s and Susan Friedman’s theories of reading at the point of intersection between a text and its precursors, newly allowing the application of Girard to the complex intertextual dynamics of the sub-genre of metahistorical romance. This approach reconfigures this sub-genre as a form of simultaneous and paratactic history. It adapts Amy Elias’s and Brian McHale’s theories of spatial tropes as literary techniques which collapse, onto one plane, or juxtapose, different historical periods, characters and events, as a means to examine the ����dark areas” of history. In this process the thesis considers each modern text and its precursor to explore the role of Girard’s rivalrous doubles within and across texts in activating or interrupting cyclical violence. The historical scapegoats, given the opportunity to recognize and tell their histories in the modern texts, generate a new form of communal history, which challenges earlier depictions and celebrations of violence and the persecution of scapegoats. These new histories recoil from violence and reconstruct scapegoats through attention to the complex intersection of political and legal policies, cultural values and practices informing their previous historical representation. They allow Girard’s cycles of violence to be broken, reimagining the scapegoat not in terms of singular identifications as anarchist, spy, convict and outlaw, but as multi-faceted, able to be renewed in multiple identifications as heroic.

Die Arbeit „Zur Dualität zwischen doppelter Periodizität und binärer Intervall-Struktur in der Theorie der Tonregionen” gibt zunächst einen Überblick über die Arbeiten Norman Careys und David Clampitts zu dem von ihnen selbst eingeführten Terminus der Tonregionen. Im Anschluss werden Zusammenhänge zur mathematischen Disziplin der Algebraischen Kombinatorik aufgezeigt und somit in einen erweiterten Kontext gestellt.

William Carey (1761-1834) and a printer from Derby--William Ward (1769-1823)--are central figures in discussions concerning missiology. Generally, the importance of Carey and Ward to the early formation of the Baptist Missionary Society (hereafter, BMS) and their ministry to Hindus are accepted points of conversation. Despite the existence of a large body of writings concerning their efforts in India, one of the most important aspects of Carey's and Ward's ministry remains unexplored. The primary goal of this dissertation is to address the two-part question: what was Carey's and Ward's understanding of Bengali Islam and what was their resulting ministry to Muslims in Bengal during the first twenty years of BMS efforts in India? This dissertation argues that Carey and Ward had a deeply-held interest in Muslim evangelization and carried out that interest in an active ministry to Muslims. The first chapter discusses the context within which Carey and Ward received the Particular Baptist inheritance that they took to India, surveys the current state of scholarship on Carey and Ward in relation to this dissertation, and establishes the research questions that this work addresses. Also, this chapter states the thesis of this work, which answers the research questions based upon the defined parameters. Chapter 2 establishes a framework through which one should interpret the ministry of Carey and Ward. This framework becomes the answer to the dissertation's secondary research question: they conducted their ministry to Bengali Muslims according to the Serampore Form of Agreement. Surveying the philosophy of missions that guided Carey and Ward provides an essential and foundational insight into their ministry to Muslims. The third chapter of this dissertation provides clarity concerning the theology and religious expression of Islam in Bengal as interpreted by Carey and Ward. In Bengal, these two missionaries found a deeply embedded relationship between Islam and the Indian caste system, which had tremendous implications for Bengali Islamic theology and practice. The fourth chapter of this dissertation addresses Carey's efforts to evangelize his Muslim neighbors in Bengal. Carey's established ministerial pursuits shaped Ward during his early ministry to Muslims. The model that Carey established included his pursuit of evangelizing Muslims personally, receiving the inquiries of Bengali Muslims, and a specific message to his hearers. Chapter 5 turns to William Ward's efforts to propel the ministry forward through his print ministry. His efforts enabled the BMS effort in Bengal to reach out to individuals through the means of print in ways that were inconceivable through personal interaction. Additionally, Ward participated in Muslim evangelism through consistent preaching and occasional debate as well as pastoral ministry over the budding Bengali church. The sixth chapter concerns a framework that Andrew Fuller and William Ward used to determine the best way to carry out Ward's print contribution discussed in chapter 5. Ward's print ministry caused turmoil in some situations, particularly in regards to his Muslim ministry, almost causing war between Britain and Denmark in late 1807. Fuller and Ward, despite this episode, sought to abide by a principle of selectively representing the missionaries' work in a particular way to their various reading audiences. Finally, the conclusion summarizes this dissertation's primary contributions to the field of Carey-Ward scholarship based on the material argued throughout this work. Truly, the ministry of Carey and Ward to Bengali Muslims is well represented in this work as restated in the conclusion.

What happens when life intrudes so much into the research and writing that it takes over the subject matter, so that the original struggle for objective scholarship threatens to become subsumed in emotion and self-discovery? How does the supervisor, forced to keep a certain distance from an intimate and tumultuous relationship, still teach? The supervisor can do worse than guide their student towards the genre of Life-Writing, within which a flourishing of sub-genres may be accommodating to such a journey. For a closed-records adoptee caught up in the reunion processes sparked by the 1990 changes to the Adoption Act, critical readings of Peter Carey and Janette Turner Hospital developed into the invention of the Adopted Body, the Subject Adoptee and a new way of seeing: ado/aptive reading and writing. Perhaps in the field of ado/aptive theory, the stolen generations, intercountry adoptees and the white closed-record adoptees of Australia can re-invent themselves, develop their identities and create a genre of academic theory unique to Australia.

L'auteure présente une lecture personnelle de la contribution aux études en communication et en journalisme de James W. Carey, considéré par certains comme étant un des pionniers du courant des Cultural Studies américaines. Présenté sous la forme d'un essai, ce mémoire propose une façon différente de conceptualiser le journalisme dans le contexte québécois. D'abord, l'auteure présente en quoi la version des Cultural Studies de Carey est marquée par le courant du tournant linguistique et comment elle constitue une alternative à la théorie de l'information. Ensuite, elle propose de concevoir le travail journalistique comme étant subjectif et culturel et non généralement véridique et objectif, tel que proposé par le modèle professionnel du journalisme. Enfin, l'auteure aborde la question de l'interprétation de la liberté de presse et du journalisme au Québec et illustre comment ce principe est marqué par la professionnalisation du journalisme, la légitimation de l'autorité du journalisme et le sens juridique de la liberté de presse. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Communication, Cultural Studies, James W.

My project examines eighteenth-century struggles over literary property and its part in England’s control over its colonies. Debates over literary property set in the context of the larger colonial struggles over ownership help us to understand the relationship between authority and authorship: in the colonies, booksellers and authors worked together to make authority and authorship local, to separate it from England, English constructions of authorship, and the book trade system in London. The figures I analyze––Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, Samuel Johnson, and Mathew Carey––brought new models of print capitalism to the colonies, dispersing an understanding of copyright that was an assertion of local affiliations. In the case of Ireland, these affiliations manifested themselves in a nationalist movement, and in Scotland, in an assertion of equality under the union of Great Britain. In the newly formed United States, the affiliations were among those still struggling for legal recognition after the American Revolution. Using book history in the service of literary analysis, my study is the first devoted to reading the way that liminal figures such as George Faulkner, Alexander Donaldson, Absalom Jones, and Richard Allen have influenced the work of these largely canonical authors, and thus local politics, through their literary production practices. / text

ABSTRACT MOTIVATION FOR COSTLY MISSIONS: A COMPARISON OF THE JOURNALS OF THOMAS COKE AND WILLIAM CAREY Barry Mark Morris, Ph.D. The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, 2014 Chairperson: Dr. George Martin Contemporary missions senders can employ expediently lessons regarding risk and self-sacrifice learned through the journals of Thomas Coke and William Carey. This dissertation explores these lessons, applies them to the contemporary context, and considers the consequences of applying said lessons. Fundamental to this discussion is the question - Are the motivations, attitudes and practices of Carey and Coke representative of historical and contemporary pioneer missions? Chapter 2 builds the case by turning to the biblical precedent of men and women who sacrifice much on God's mission. Old and New Testament and historical examples are tendered, demonstrating risky obedience in fulfillment of God's mission. Chapters 3 and 4 form the heart of the dissertation, contributing journal entries from Thomas Coke and William Carey. Chapter 3 highlights and describes Thomas Coke's journal, while Chapter 4 addresses William Carey and his journal. Journal entries are gathered and analyzed according to three themes: risk and sacrifice, evangelism and the gospel, and resolute motivation for risky missions. Chapter 5 compares and contrasts observations from the two journals. Coke's and Carey's motivation for missions is examined in light of the resultant risks and sacrifices experienced in the advance of Christ's kingdom. In this chapter the author highlights recent examples of risky missions found in the correspondence and journals of contemporary missionaries and indigenous workers. The final chapter presents lessons learned from the journals as relates to contemporary missionaries and senders. Specific proposals are proffered to strengthen the decision-making processes for risk-management in mission settings. The investigation calls for the examination of other missionary journals and correspondence from various traditions and regions.
