O romance, que revela seu aspecto intertextual em seu próprio título, pretende elucidar como o espaço - um internato para meninas nos arredores de Toronto – simbolicamente representado pelo sótão e pelo porão, é essencial para a construção do processo de formação feminino, através da subversão do gênero literário tradicional Bildungsroman. No primeiro capítulo, a vida e a obra de Susan Swan é estudada, assim como o romance em pauta e sua recepção crítica. No segundo capítulo, são apresentadas as teorias sobre espaço de Gaston Bachelard e de Michel Foucault, além de considerações sobre o romance de formação de autoria feminina. O terceiro capítulo é dedicado à análise, de acordo com as teorias previamente colocadas, e destaca-se, aqui, a relação entre o espaço da escola e o processo de formação de Mary Beatrice Bradford, a protagonista. Por último, mas não menos importante, esse estudo mostra o poder da literatura como forma de evidenciar a quebra do emudecimento das mulheres na formação de suas identidades femininas / This dissertation is grounded on recent theories about Female Bildungsroman or novels of education in a feminist perspective. It aims at establishing the relationship between space and the novel of education in the novel The Wives of Bath, published in 1993 by the Canadian author Susan Swan. The novel, revealing its intertextual aspect by its title, focuses on shedding a light on how the space – a girls’ boarding school on the outskirts of Toronto – symbolically represented by the attic and the basement is essential to build a female formation process subverting the traditional genre itself. In the first chapter, life and work of Susan Swan are studied, as well as the novel and its critical reception. In the second chapter, the theories concerning spaces by Gaston Bachelard and Michel Foucault and also the theories on the female Bildungsromane are covered. The third chapter is focused on the analysis according to the relation observed between the spaces and the formative process of Mary Beatrice Bradford – the protagonist. At last but not least, the intention of this dissertation is to spread the power of literature as a way of evidencing the muting breaking of women in the formation of their feminine identities

Eli phepha lithiywe “Ukuzotywa kwabalinganiswa ababhinqileyo, abazintloko kwidrama zolwimi lwesiXhosa, bezotywa ngababhali besini sobuduna nesini sobukhomokazi liza kube lijongene nendlela apho ababhali abasini esohlukileyo, abathi babazobe ngayo abalinganiswa abayintloko, abangamabhinqa kwizibhalo zabo zedrama zelwimi lwesiXhosa. Apha kuzobe kujongwe ingakumbi ababhali abasini sobuduna, ngenjongo yokuveza umba wokuba ababhali besini sobukhomokazi babazoba abalinganiswa ababhinqileyo nje ngabantu abangenamiqolo okuzimela ngaphandle kokuba kubekho indoda obomini babo. Aba babhali babazoba abalinganiswa ababhiqileyo phansti kwala ngcamango yokuba, apho umntu obhinqileyo ekumela afumaneke khona kusezimbizeni apho baphekela usapho lwabo rhoqo, ekucoceni umzi nasekukhuliseni abantwana, hayi enye into engaphaya koko. Ngoko ke eli phepha libhalwe ngenjongo yokuphelisa oku dodobalisa loo ngcamango. Baninzi kea bantu abaphikisana nale ndlela yaphotho lwamabhinqa ngamadoda abo, nangamanye amadoda nje jikilele, eli phepha lizobe lingqinelana nolo ninzi lwabantu abathi loo mpatho mbi yamabhinqa mayiphele, kuvezwe imeko yokuba kukho ulingano phakathi kwamabhinqa kunye nababt abasini sobukhomakazi. Int ethetha ukuba eli phepha lizakuti ligqithele lijonge kwaye liveze indlela apho kungati kuekho ulingwano phathi kwezini zimbini, nendlela apho uwonke wonke angakwazi ukuphila ngentlonipho omnye komnye kungekho zimpatho mbi, okanye sini sinesikhundla esiphakamileyo kunesinye.

Thesis (MEd (Education))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2016. / Gender roles for both men and women have changed considerebly during the past two decades. These changes were caused by the New Constitution of South Africa. Women are not limited anymore to certain careers or gender roles. They can live life to their full potential as individuals. The youth are still in a variable state and are influenced by what they read. Youth literature plays a huge role in the construction of gender identity. The way gender is portrayed in youth literature contributes to the view children develop of their own gender. Gender stereotyping, sexism and sexist language in texts could be interpreted as correct and acceptable if teachers are not aware of it and do not point these out. This study was conducted to determine if Afrikaans youth literature changed in accordance to society’s views of gender roles and how youth literature plays a role in the construction of gender. For this study award-winning youth books with a female main character were chosen and were subjected to Critical Discourse Analysis. Critical Discourse Analysis exposes hidden power structures and looks critically at the language used to construct female charaters as well as who the focalizer is and how the focalizer describes the female characters. Research findings showed that there are positive changes in Afrikaans youth literature. Writers are creating stronger female characters for the youth. Research findings also show that certain stereotypes are too deeply rooted and will take more time to change. That is why it is important for the teacher in the classroom to be aware of the hidden power structures and stereotypes in youth literature and to point it out in order to teach in a more gender-sensitive way.
