Revis(it)ing Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness: women, symbolism, and resistanceUnknown Date (has links)
Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness is, admittedly, a text with many racist, imperialist and sexist subtexts. A feminist literary analysis, however, can extract women's empowerment and agency. This thesis takes a closer look at the Mistress (also known as the African woman) and the Intended, two women with vastly different racial and class backgrounds who, in their own ways, demonstrate resistance. This thesis analyzes Mr. Kurtz's often ignored sketch in oils, arguing that the sketch itself demonstrates the colonial mentality of difference and the disruption of that difference. It then explores both the Mistress and the Intended in detail, positing that while the Mistress uses the colonizers' fear of the wilderness and its silence to her advantage, the Intended takes control over her own domestic circumstance. Overall, this author asserts that the Mistress and the Intended, while often dismissed, are noteworthy, important, and influential characters in Heart of Darkness. / by Kathryn Marie Smith. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2009. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

Rhetoric in mirrors: the rising image of conquestUnknown Date (has links)
This project examines the blending of verbal and visual discourse in three of Christopher Marlowes early works: Dido Queen of Carthage and Tamburlaine the Great, Parts I and II. Through the process of appeals, both Dido and Zenocrate become more than feminine counterparts in a heroic tale and ultimately engage in rhetorical conquest themselves. Marlowe's treatment of Dido and Zenocrate portrays them as dynamic figures whose ambitions emerge upon the stage. In each drama, the feminine agency legitimizes the action of the play. Dido utilizes visual appeals to contest the fate of the gods and persuade Aeneas to become the male counterpart in her empire. Zenocrate serves as the focus of Tamburlaine's appeals because she will become the legitimating presence for his ambition. I show that these Marlovian women hold a significant place in his canon and that the force of their presence is undeniable. / by Courtney N.

Housing identity: re-constructing feminine spaces through memory in Virginia Woolf's The Years and Daphne Du Maurier's RebeccaUnknown Date (has links)
This thesis represents a study of The Years by Virginia Woolf and Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. Both novels attempt to redefine the role of women in patriarchal society during the 1930s. The domestic role women had to fill within a masculine household constrained their ability to form an independent "self," apart from fathers and husbands. I argue that these novels articulate the possibility for women to access an independent self by examining the meaning behind domestic objects in and of the house. Lucy Irigaray asserts that women were, and still are, associated with being valued as a desirable "commodity". Since women have no choice but to work within the symbolic order and are already labeled as "object," women writers have manipulated the system by examining the subject/object dichotomy. The relationship women have with inanimate, and particularly domestic, objects shows how time (the past and the future) manipulates freedom in the present moment. Woolf's reflection on how "moments of being" function as gateways to a heightened sense of awareness is prevalent in her last published novel, The Years. I invoke Friedrich Nietzsche to consider notions of how an antiquated past hinders identity in du Maurier's Rebecca. In the literary texts of Woolf and du Maurier, women have a unique relationship with material objects in relationship to subjectivity. By examining the spatial constructs of the home, women are able to construct themselves as free "subjects" in a male dominated world. / by Stephanie Derisi. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2012. / Includes bibliography. / Electronic reproduction.

A desintegração do sujeito feminino em A redoma de vidro, de Sylvia Plath /Bertacini, Vanessa Cezarin. January 2018 (has links)
Orientador: Aparecido Donizete Rossi / Banca: Alcides Cardoso dos Santos / Banca: Carla Alexandra Ferreira / Resumo: Sylvia Plath é uma escritora norte-americana do século XX conhecida principalmente por sua poesia e por seu suicídio precoce. Em 1963, ela publica seu único romance, A redoma de vidro [The Bell Jar], em que narra a história de Esther Greenwood, jovem americana da década de 1950 que se encontra em um caminho de autoaniquilação ao se deparar com as regras sociais impostas pela ideologia patriarcal, a qual tenta impedi-la de assumir seu eu verdadeiro e desenvolver todas as suas potencialidades. O objetivo deste trabalho é entender de que forma a autora, por meio da atualização do conceito de subtexto de autoria feminina para o século XX, utiliza a temática da desintegração do sujeito feminino como estratégia de resistência ao patriarcado. Para tanto, utilizam-se os escritos de Virginia Woolf sobre o ideal do Anjo do Lar, presentes em seu ensaio "Professions for Women" (1942); de Gilbert e Gubar sobre a literatura de autoria feminina, retirados de sua obra The Madwoman in the Attic (1979); e de Elaine Showalter sobre o discurso de duas vozes empreendido pelas mulheres autoras, presentes em seus ensaios "Towards a Feminist Poetics" (1979) e "A crítica feminista no território selvagem" (1981). A partir da análise do romance, busca-se mostrar de que forma Plath denuncia os efeitos devastadores da ideologia patriarcal sobre o corpo e a mente das mulheres. / Abstract: Sylvia Plath is a twentieth-century North-American writer, mainly known by her poetry and her early suicide. In 1963, she publishes her only novel, The Bell Jar, in which she tells the story of Esther Greenwood, a young American woman from the 1950's who finds herself in a self-annihilation path when confronted by the social rules imposed by the patriarchal ideology, which tries to stop her from assuming her true self and developing all her potentialities. The aim of this work is to understand in what way the writer, through the actualization of the concept of subtext in female authorship to the twentieth century, employs the theme of female subject disintegration as a resistance strategy to patriarchy. For this purpose, we use Virginia Woolf's writings on the Angel in the House's ideal, from her essay "Professions for Women" (1942); Gilbert and Gubar's writings on the literature of female authorship, from their work The Madwoman in the Attic (1979); and Elaine Showalter's writings on the double-voiced discourse employed by women writers, from her essays "Towards a Feminist Poetics" (1979), and "Feminism Criticism in the Wilderness" (1981). From the analysis of the novel, we aim to show in which way Plath exposes the devastating effects of the patriarchal ideology on women's bodies and minds. / Mestre
