Boredom and Moral Decay : Oscar Wilde's Criticism of the Baudelairean Dandy in The Picture of Dorian Gray

Pettersson, Nora January 2023 (has links)
This essay examines the role of ennui in Dorian Gray’s moral decline in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray. By applying Charles Baudelaire’s concept of ennui as the malady of the modern age and his promotion of dandyism as an escape from the “immoral” modern utilitarian society, it argues that Wilde challenges Baudelaire’s philosophy since Dorian suffers from depression as a result of yielding to all of his desires. Drawing from Thomas De Quincey’s arguments that the cycle of restlessness and stimulation leads to violence, this essay suggests that, according to Wilde, dandyism may lead to moral decay. Therefore, Wilde questions both Baudelaire’s dandyism and the core of the Aesthetic Movement. Thus, Wilde highlights not only the dangers of sensation-seeking being promoted as an escape from monotony but also claims that dandyism can result in violence.

A obra aparece pela primeira vez no Reino Unido e EUA em 1890 na Lippincott's. É editada em livro em 1891. A tradução do texto para o português, feita por João do Rio, circula no Brasil em folhetim no jornal A Noite, em 1911. A publicação em livro é feita pela Garnier, em 1923, após a morte do tradutor. A partir dessas informações, se faz relevante considerar alguns tipos de leituras que são possibilitadas nos dois casos. Para compreende-las, analisei dois aspectos ligados á estrutura do romance: o uso do narrador, pelo viés da narratologia de Genette, e a presença de descrições / Abstract: The purpose of this study is to compare the context of publication of the only novel by Oscar Wilde, \The Picture of Dorian Gray", in England and in Brazil. The work appears for the first time in UK and US in 1890 at Lippincott's. It is edited as a book in 1891. The translation of the text in Portuguese, by Joao do Rio, circulates in Brazil as feuilleton at the newspaper A Noite, in 1911. The publication as book is made by Garnier, in 1923, after the death of the translator. From this information, it is relevant to consider some types of readings enabled by these two cases. To understand them, I've analyzed two aspects concerning the structure of the novel: the use of the narrator, by bias of narratology of Genette, and the presence of descriptions / Mestrado / Historia e Historiografia Literaria / Mestra em Teoria e História Literária

A Study of Art and Aestheticism in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray

Siméus, Jenny January 2004 (has links)
<p>My twofold aim with this essay is, firstly, to examine the ideas about art expressed in the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray by the Victorian author Oscar Wilde. Secondly, I analyse how Oscar Wilde has implemented the philosophy of aestheticism throughout his novel. I achieve this by discussing the novel from the perspectives of the arts of painting, acting and literature. I examine the ideas expressed through the three main characters Dorian Gray, Basil Hallward and Lord Henry Wotton. I give occurrences of alliteration, epigrams and theatrical traits of the novel as examples of how the novel in itself is a beautiful work of art. With this essay I wish to highlight the need for all types of art mentioned in The Picture of Dorian Gray to be included in any discussion about art in the novel. My thesis statement is that the philosophy of aestheticism is promoted throughout the novel. This philosophy states that art should only be seen as something beautiful. Art should not be expected to teach its audience any moral lessons. The over-all conclusion is that it is indeed the philosophy of aestheticism that is promoted in The Picture of Dorian Gray, and the ideal of male beauty in particular.</p>

The picture of Dorian Gray and Celtic magic

Upchurch, David A. January 1977 (has links)
This thesis has explored Irish influences on the author of The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde. The study explored early family and peer influences on the author and has traced his Irish roots to reveal a knowledge of Irish folk lore which is apparent in this novel.In addition, the thesis has analyzed the novel with respect to characteristics of Irish folk lore which are called, in this study, Celtic magic. The paper also has presented the case that Oscar Wilde should be placed with Anglo-Irish writers instead of British authors.

Sua produ??o pict?rica incluiu desenho, pintura de cavalete, pintura mural, mosaico, escultura, cer?mica, gravura e tape?aria. O objetivo principal da disserta??o ? investigar como Dorian Gray construiu uma identidade pessoal alicer?ada na arte moderna e de que forma seu protagonismo interferiu na constitui??o de uma arte potiguar. Prioriza um recorte temporal que vai de 1950, ano que marca o in?cio de sua atividade profissional, com o I Sal?o de Arte Moderna de Natal, em parceria com os artistas Newton Navarro e Ivon Rodrigues, at? 1989, com a publica??o do livro ?Artes Pl?sticas do Rio Grande do Norte (1920-1989)?, obra de sua autoria que consolida a ideia de uma identidade art?stica potiguar. O primeiro cap?tulo analisa de que forma a arte se tornou uma op??o de vida para Dorian Gray e como ele construiu a ideia de uma tradi??o art?stica para sua fam?lia. O segundo cap?tulo investiga sua produ??o cultural no per?odo demarcado, as redes de sociabilidade constru?das por ele e sua participa??o na constru??o de uma modernidade art?stica natalense. O terceiro cap?tulo examina, de um lado, as imagens que Dorian construiu sobre si e sobre o que considerava ter feito para o mundo cultural e intelectual do Rio Grande do Norte, e, de outro, como os seus contempor?neos representavam o artista e sua obra. Recuperam-se alguns discursos produzidos ap?s sua morte e os mecanismos mobilizados pela fam?lia e institui??es culturais para promover a manuten??o da mem?ria do artista. Como aportes te?ricos, utiliza as no??es de biografia (DOSSE, 2009; LORIGA, 2011), configura??o social (ELIAS, 1994), modernidade (BERMAN, 1986) e enquadramento da mem?ria (Pollack, 1989, 1992) e o referencial te?rico-metodol?gico da hist?ria oral de vida (PORTELLI, 1997). A rela??o entre hist?ria e espa?o ? discutida na perspectiva do ge?grafo Yi-Fu Tuan (2013), para quem o espa?o ? o lugar que constr?i identidade. As principais fontes utilizadas s?o entrevistas fundamentadas na hist?ria oral de vida, not?cias publicadas nos jornais A Rep?blica, O Poti e Di?rio de Natal, discursos e textos de memorialistas. / This current essay analyzes biographical trajectory of the plastic artist and natalense writer Dorian Gray, well known as one of the artistic modernity precursors in Rio Grande do Norte. His pictorial production included drawing, easel painting, mural painting, mosaic, sculpture, ceramics, picture and tapestry. The main goal of this dissertation is to explore how Dorian Gray made a personal identity based on modern art and in what way his protagonism interfered in the formation of Potiguar art. It prioritizes a temporal cut, from 1950, the year which he started his professional career, in the I Sal?o de Arte Moderna de Natal in partnership with the artists Newton Navarro and Ivon Rodrigues, to 1989, when was published the book ?Artes Pl?sticas do Rio Grande do Norte (1920-1989)?, work of his own which consolidates an idea of the potiguar artistic identity. Its first chapter analyzes how art became an option of life to Dorian Gray and how he created the idea of an artistic tradition to his family. Its second chapter investigates his cultural production in the delimited period, sociability networks made by him and his participation in the formation of the Natalense artistic modernity. The third chapter examines, from a point, the pictures that Dorian created about him and about what considered to have done to the cultural and intellectual areas of Rio Grande do Norte, and to another point, how his contemporaries represented the artist and his work. Some speeches made after his death and strategies used by his family and cultural institutions to preserve the artist?s memory were recovered. As theoretical contribution, uses the perception of biography (DOSSE, 2009; LORIGA, 2011), social setting (ELIAS, 1994), modernity (BERMAN, 1986) and memory framing (POLLACK, 1989, 1992) and the theoretical-methodological referential of Oral History of life (PORTELLI, 1997). The relation between History and space is discussed in the perspective of the geographer Yi-Fu Tuan (2013), to whom the space is a place which creates identity. The main sources used are interviews based on Oral History, news published in the newspapers A Rep?blica, O Poti e Di?rio de Natal, speeches and memorialist texts.

Forsake Thy Art, Forsake Thyself : A Lacanian Reading of Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray

Svensson, Andreas January 2020 (has links)
This essay argues, with the help of Lacanian psychoanalysis, that Dorian Gray, the protagonist in Oscar Wilde’s novel, fails to abide by the rules governed by the culture of society. It is argued that Lacan’s theories about the mirror stage develop Dorian’s character and his realizations of his true self as part of the culture which shapes him. The mirror is represented by the four characters Basil Hallward, Lord Henry Wotton, Sibyl Vane, and Sibyl’s brother James. Basil, Henry, and Sibyl are all representations of different aspects of the mirror explained by Lacan’s theories, and these three characters help Dorian realize his true identity and self.

Didaktisk potential i klassisk litteratur : Moral och sexualitet i viktorianska England och The Picture of Dorian Gray

Bergman, Jennifer January 2023 (has links)
Syftet med denna uppsats är att analysera och diskutera den didaktiska potential klassisk litteratur kan tänkas ha för den litteraturhistoriska undervisningen i gymnasieskolan. I läroplanen för ämnet svenska förklaras det hur eleverna ska få möjligheter att läsa litteratur från olika kulturer och epoker. Som stöd för min studie kommer jag först analysera Oscar Wildes The Picture of Dorian Gray och dess centrala teman, moral och sexualitet. Just dessa teman är valda då de har en möjlighet att fungera bra i klassrummet. Att läsa litteratur överlag kan bringa många fördelar, till exempel bättre läsförståelse, ett utökat ordförråd och kritiskt tänkande, och med specifikt klassisk litteratur kan elever även lära sig om historiska händelser och samhällsnormer. Tidigare forskning visar att elever kan tycka att litteraturhistoria är komplicerat och tråkigt. Att skapa ett intresse hos eleverna kan vara komplicerat, där valet av litteratur kan vara otroligt avgörande. Genom att välja litteratur där eleverna kan luta sig mot sina tidigare erfarenheter och kunskaper kan läsprocessen bli roligare och mer lärorik. / <p>Slutgiltigt godkännandedatum: 2023-05-31</p>
