Previous issue date: 2014-03-06 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior / This thesis aims to study the novel O guardador de memórias (2008), the Angolan writer Isabel Ferreira. In this context, in critical reading on the novel, initially, was an attempt to highlight the process of deterritorialization of language and of the characters Kiluva and Ana Medrante, which escaped through a discourse of insubordination. For this analysis, it has been used the theories by Deleuze and Guattari, in the book Kafka: por uma literatura menor (1977). Besides the criticism about female characters, we also analyzed the male characters Kafrique and Hunende, men who see themselves compelled to redefine their subjectivity against the freedom of women. For a better understanding of the context in which it sets out the voice of the author, it discusses the process of formation and solidification of Angolan literature. Thus, considering the long road traveled by women to be recognized as authors of their own stories, by making a brief trajectory of the feminist movement, bringing forth an approach to black feminism, based on the assumptions of bell hooks. To complement that, we have brought a discussion about the identity crisis of contemporary men, who when faced with the emancipation of women, has been forced to revise their roles in patriarchal society. Thus, the approaches developed with this thesis aim primarily to make the voice of black to be heard, women, writers or not, who have undergone a process of exclusion and silencing throughout its history. / Esta dissertação tem como objetivo estudar o romance O guardador de memórias (2008), da escritora angolana Isabel Ferreira. Nesse contexto, na leitura crítica da obra, inicialmente, atentou-se ao processo de desterritorialização da linguagem das personagens Kiluva e Ana Medrante, que se libertam através de um discurso de insubmissão. Para essa análise, nos embasamos nas teorias de Deleuze e Guattari, presentes no seu livro Kafka, por uma literatura menor (1977). Além da crítica das personagens femininas, analisamos também os personagens masculinos Kafrique e Hunende, homens que se veem impelidos em redefinir sua subjetividade perante a liberdade das mulheres. Para uma melhor compreensão do contexto em que se enuncia a voz da autora, discutimos o processo de formação e solidificação da literatura angolana. Desse modo, considerando-se o longo percurso percorrido pelas mulheres para que fossem reconhecidas como autoras de suas próprias historias, fizemos uma breve trajetória do movimento feminista, trazendo à tona uma abordagem do feminismo negro, embasando-nos nas teorias de bell hooks. Para complementar essa abordagem, trouxemos uma discussão sobre a crise de identidade do homem contemporâneo, que ao se deparar com a emancipação feminina, viu-se obrigado a rever os seus papéis na sociedade patriarcal. Assim, as abordagens desenvolvidas nessa dissertação pretendem, sobretudo, fazer ouvir a voz das mulheres negras, escritoras ou não, que foram submetidas a um processo de exclusão e silenciamento durante toda a sua história.

O retrato de uma subjetividade feminina em The portrait of a lady, de Henry James / The portrait of a feminine subjectivity in The Portrait of a Lady, by Henry JamesMariana Souza e Silva 28 March 2017 (has links)
The Portrait of a Lady (1881), obra de Henry James, conta a história da formação de Isabel Archer, uma jovem americana que se destaca por desejar ser livre e independente em um contexto em que se esperava da mulher que desempenhasse um papel apenas decorativo; por isso, é possível que sua caracterização seja associada a uma protagonista com características feministas. Porém, o desenvolvimento do enredo a leva a um casamento infeliz motivado por determinantes alheios, principalmente pelo interesse financeiro de outras personagens. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar de que maneira a construção da subjetividade feminina da protagonista reflete, ou não, as questões sócio-históricas que marcaram seu contexto de criação, dentre os quais se destacam o início de uma consciência voltada à valorização feminina e busca pelos direitos das mulheres demonstrada pelo movimento pelo sufrágio universal. Em nossa análise consideramos os fatores sociais e políticos da época em que a obra foi escrita e revista, assim como os pressupostos da crítica literária feminista e crítica materialista, de forma a detectar na narrativa jamesiana as características que corroborem com um ponto de vista feminista sobre Isabel Archer, estendendo nossa leitura às personagens e fatos mais relevantes da obra. Assim, chegamos à conclusão de que a protagonista de The Portrait of a Lady apresenta características feministas, como o desejo pela independência, mas não pode ser considerada uma personagem feminista por ter sido subjugada e oprimida pelo poder patriarcal representado pelas figuras masculinas mais importantes à sua volta, principalmente por Gilbert Osmond, seu marido, que personifica nesta obra a dominação masculina total sobre a mente feminina. Contudo, sentimos que o enredo contém outras personagens e fatos que demonstram a força do insconsciente político daquele contexto, que se faz presente mesmo à revelia de seu autor, dentre eles outras personagens que caracterizam atitudes feministas. A importância deste estudo é posicionar uma forte protagonista feminina de Henry James dentre os estudos feministas sobre o Realismo do século XIX. / The Portrait of a Lady (1881), Henry James novel, tells the story of the formation of Isabel Archer, an young American lady who stands out for her desire to be free and independent in a context where nothing more was expected from a woman than having a decorative role; for that, it is possible that her charcterization is associated to a protagonist with feminist traits. However, the development of the plot leads her to an unhappy marriage motivated by outward determinants, especially by other characters financial interest. The objective of this work is to analyze how the construction of the protagonists feminine subjectivity either reflects or not the social and historical matters that marked its context of creation, among which the beginning of a consciousness aimed at a feminine appreciation and the search for the womens rights shown by the international suffrage movement. In our analysis we consider the social and political factors of the time when the novel was written and revised, as the assumptions of the feminist literary criticism and materialist criticism, in order to detect, in the Jamesian narrative, the characteristics that corroborate with a feminist point of view about Isabel Archer, and we extend our reading to the most relevant characters and events of the novel. So, we got to the conclusion that the protagonist in The Portrait of a Lady shows feminist characteristics, as the desire for independence, but she cannot be considered a feminist character for having been subjugated and oppressed by the patriarchal power represented by the most important masculine figures around her, mostly by Gilbert Osmond, her husband, who impersonates the total male domination over the female mind in this novel. Nevertheless, we feel that the plot contains other characters and events that demonstrate the strength of the political unconscious from a context that makes itself present even if unwanted by its author, and among them there are other characters that show feminist attitudes. The importance of this research is to establish a Henry James strong feminine protagonist in the feminist studies about the 19th century Realist literature.

Aspekty genderu v románu Eva Carry van Bruggenové / Gender Aspects in the Novel Eva by Carry van BruggenJankovská, Marie January 2016 (has links)
in English This thesis focuses on the construct of gender in the modernist novel Eva by the Dutch authoress Carry van Bruggen in relation to the individual human subject. The goal of this thesis is to analyse how is gender constructed in the book and how this construct influences the psychic development and decision making of the main character, a woman named Eva. The answer to the main research question What role does the construct of gender play in the life of the main character of the novel Eva? was reached with the help of the discourse analysis, namely the post-structuralist discourse analysis using the deconstructive reading. The thesis is at the same time theoretically anchored in the post-structuralist feminist literary criticism. The theoretical part therefore draws on the ideas of Jacques Derrida, Michel Foucault, Judith Baxter and Judith Butler. As an inspiration for the discourse analysis itself served the discourse analysis dealing with the gender identity that was carried out by Kateřina Zábrodská in 2009. The first step in the analysis stage was to identify the relevant passages of the novel that inform what does it mean to be a man or a woman. The comments on these passages focus on the individual claims about gender, they formulate what kind of duties and limits these discourses...

Tělo pod dohledem. Tělesnost a sexualita v próze Krásné zelené oči. / Body under Supervision. Sexuality and Corporeality in Lovely green eyes novel.Levy, Veronika January 2018 (has links)
The Diploma Thesis, Body under supervision. Corporeality and Sexuality in the novel Lovely green eyes, focuses on gender analysis of the literary work, which itself deals with gender relations and emphasizes a women's experience. The Lustig's novels setting is full of "feminine" themes and seems to be feminist at first glance. With a closer look you can find an intruder in the form of a "masculine" narrator, depicting the woman mainly as a body and a "thing to look at." The key concept of the thesis is a feminist literary criticism, using the resisting reader method by Judith Fetterley, that draws attention to the existence of a universal male perspective. As every text analysis is discours analysis as well, the other method I will apply will be the discours analysis method. For the analysis of narrator's point of view, I will apply Laura Mulvey's theory of voyeurism, to find out if the text does portray the female experience as erotic. Because of the strong textual interpellation, requiring readers to identify with the narrator's view, it is important to pay attention to the narrator's point of view and find the possibilities of refusing the interpellation of the text. As a starting point for the analysis of the female Holocaust experience, the thesis will focus on Gender aspects of the Holocaust...

« I’m not only a casualty, I’m also a warrior » : LA personnage de la travailleuse domestique : exemples d'héroisme de genre dans les récits littéraires de travail du care / « I’m not only a casualty, I’m also a warrior » : the character of the domestic worker : examples of gender heroism in literary narratives of care workMarzi, Laura 05 November 2015 (has links)
Cette thèse est une recherche interdisciplinaire entre care et littérature, basée sur l'hypothèse d'un lien d'interdépendance entre les deux perspectives. Mon travail s’appuie sur l'idée que la littérature peut être un instrument particulièrement adéquat de recherche sur le travail et la relation de care justement parce que les romans racontent des histoires ordinaires. En effet, le care n’est pas un principe ontologique général, il est lié à des situations particulières, concrètes. De même, les récits littéraires de Slow Man de John M. Coetzee et Maria de Lalla Romano, sur lesquels va porter mon analyse, inversent la condition d'invisibilité sociale qui dans notre société touche les travailleuses de care. Dans les romans et les ouvrages sociologiques analysés les femmes care-givers occupent la scène principale : elles sont des héroïnes, non pas dans le sens de l'héroïsme universel masculin, mais de celui qui émerge des récits de care au prisme du genre. Enfin l'analyse des romans Maria et Slow Man a aussi nourri la réflexion sur le Unheimliche. En effet, le personnage de la care-giver est source d'inquiétante étrangeté, parce qu'elle est une femme, et que son travail consiste à s'occuper de ce qui est familier, mais aurait dû rester caché : la vulnérabilité humaine. De plus, très souvent la care-giver est une femme étrangère qui trouble l’espace de la domesticité et de l’intime. À travers la double perspective de la critique littéraire féministe et de l’éthique du care nous proposons une nouvelle lecture genrée de l’inquiétante étrangère familière au niveau des représentations sociales, littéraires et symboliques. / This thesis is an interdisciplinary research between care and literature, based on the assumption of an interdependence between the two perspectives. My work relies on the idea that literature can be a research instrument particularly suitable on work and care relation, precisely because novels can recount ordinary stories. Indeed, care is not a general ontological principle, it is related to specific situations, concrete. Then, literary narratives Slow Man by John M. Coetzee and Maria by Lalla Romano, basis of my analysis, reverse the condition of invisibility that affects care workers in our society. In novels and sociological works analyzed, care-givers occupy the main stage : they are heroines, not in the sense of universal male heroism, but in one that emerges from the care stories read from a gender perspective. Finally, the analysis of novels Maria and Slow Man has also inspired reflection on the Unheimliche. The character of the care-giver is a source of uncanny, because she is a woman, and that her job is to take care of what is familiar, but should have remained hidden: the human vulnerability. Moreover, very often the care-giver is a foreign woman who disturbs the space of domesticity and intimacy. Through the double perspective of feminist literary criticism and ethics of care we propose a new gendered reading of the uncanny in social representations, literary and symbolic.

Analýza genderových vztahů a konceptu romantické lásky v románu Milana Kundery Nesnesitelná lehkost bytí / The Analysis of Gender Relations and the Concept of Romantic Love in the Novel of Milan Kundera The Unbearable Lightness of BeingKubová, Alena January 2016 (has links)
The diploma thesis discusses gender relationships, construction of romantic love, and questions of infidelity in the novel Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera. These concepts are examined by means of feminist literary theories that deal with gender as an analytic category and that draw on resistant reading and reader response criticism as major theoretical and methodological points of analysis. The first analytical part focuses on the ways in which femininity and masculinity of the main characters are constructed within the context of patriarchal society under socialism. The second part of the analysis is devoted to various forms of love that appear among the characters. It investigates the role of these love schemes within the presented relationships and focuses on motives of infidelity while considering the gender identity of the characters. By employing gender analysis, this diploma thesis offers a new perspective that reflects on the reproduction of gender stereotypes and departs from existing interpretations of Kundera's major novel.
