Stephen Dedalus and the Beast Motif in Joyce's Ulysses

Tappan, Dorothy C. (Dorothy Cannon) 12 1900 (has links)
This study is an examination of the beast motif associated with Stephen Dedalus in Joyce's Ulysses. The motif has its origins in Joyce's earlier novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. In Ulysses the beast motif is related to Stephen's feelings of guilt and remorse over his mother's death and includes characterizations of Stephen as a fox, a dog, a rat, and a vampire. The motif consistently carries a negative connotation. Several literary sources for the imagery of the beast motif are apparent in Ulysses, including two plays by John Webster, a poem by Matthew Prior, medieval bestiaries, and a traditional Irish folk riddle. The study of the continuity of the beast motif in Ulysses helps to explain the complex characterization of Stephen Dedalus.

Epoch Stages of Consciousness in The Rainbow

Bardas, Mary Louise Ivey 05 1900 (has links)
In The Rainbow D. H. Lawrence departs from traditional literary techniques, going below the level of ego consciousness within his characters to focus on the elemental dynamic forces of their unconscious minds. Using three generations of the Brangwen family, Lawrence traces the rise of consciousness from the primal unity of the uroboros through the matriarchal epoch and finally to full consciousness, the realization of the self, in Ursula Brangwen. By correlating the archetypal symbols characteristic of three stages of consciousness outlined in Erich Neumann's Origins and History of Consciousness and The Great Mother with the three sections of the novel, it is possible to show that Lawrence utilizes the symbols most appropriate to each stage.

Teatro dei miti in Pirandello e D'Annunzio

Meda, Anna Rosa 02 1900 (has links)
D'Annunzio e Pirandello come uomini e come artisti si pongono agli antipodi della scena culturale del loro tempo, eppure e nel mito, inteso come categoria psichica oltre che artistica, che la loro antitetica opera trova un punto d'incontro. In questo studio si analizza, dunque, il mito nelle tre tragedie dannunziane in cui l'elemento mitico si manifesta nel modo piu palese (La citta morta, La figlia di Iorio e Fedra) e nella trilogia dei miti pirandelliana, summa e approdo finale di tutta la sua opera. Per entrambi la necessita di mito nasce dalla sofferta consapevolezza della crisi moderna: valori relativi, personalita atemporale scissa, e fuori nessun dello l'aspirazione alla totalita. sen so spazio di direzione. del mito e Nella ancora dimensione possibile La teoria junghiana degli archetipi dell'inconscio collettivo, di cui i miti sarebbero le manifestazioni culturali, si e rivelata un importante ausilio analitico che consente, tramite uno scavo in profondita oltre le scorze e le sovrastrutture culturali e storiche, di cogliere la sapiente orditura di immagini e motivi archetipici nelle opere, confermando l'idea dell'artista anche come uomo collettivo oltre che come individuo. In tale prospettiva il confronto tra le opere ha portato ad importanti conclusioni, che non solo chiariscono la loro opera di scrittori, ma anche la loro funzione all'interno della societa in cui sono vissuti e, per esteso, della nostra. Per entrambi recuperare il mito e ridargli una veste moderna, pur nei rispettivi distinti modi, significa essenzialmente cercare di superare il relativo, la frammentarieta e la mediocrita del mondo contemporaneo. Nel processo di recupero, tuttavia, il mito stesso viene modificato e, facendosi specchio della condizione psichica moderna, non solo ne interpreta le piu profonde istanze, ma giunge anche a precorrerne quelle future. La posizione centrale nelle opere dei due scrittori dell'inconscio, il grande rimosso dell'Io raziocinante moderno, emergente nella possente figura della Grande Madre primordiale, rivela la direzione della futura coscienza umana nella necessita di riaccedere alle fonti piu profonde della psiche da cui nasca l'incontro e la fusione degli opposti, inconscio e coscienza, l'elemento ctonio, fertile e generatore, e quello uranico, spirituale e trascendente. / D'Annunzio and Pirandello both as men and as artists can only be placed at the opposite ends of the cultural scene of their times. Yet, it is in myth that their antithetical works finally converge. This study, therefore, analyzes myth in three of D'Annunzio's tragedies where the mythical dimension is more apparent (The dead city, Iorio/s daughter and Fedra) and in the trilogy of myths by Pirandello, which brings his work to its ultimate expression. For both authors the need for myth is born of the painful awareness of modern man's crisis: relative values, a divided personality and no sense of direction. In the timeless and universal dimension of myth it is still possible to achieve totality. The Junghian theory of the archetypes of the collective unconscious, of which myths are cultural manifestations, has proved to be an analytical tool of great importance. By giving access to the deepest level of the texts beyond their cultural and historical layers, it brings to light the otherwise elusive meaning of archetypal images and motives, revealing the true nature of art to be not just the work of an individual but also of collective man. The works, different as they may be, when compared in this perspective have nevertheless yielded some important common conclusions, not only on D'Annunzio and Pirandello as writers but also on their role within the society they lived in and, by extension, our own. For both of them myth, even in a modern context, means essentially the overcoming of the fragmentation, the relativity and the mediocrity of contemporary life. However, in the process of recapturing this mythical dimension, myth itself is bound to be modified. Because it mirrors the modern psyche, it not only interprets its deepest present needs, but also points to its future ones. The central position occupied in their works by the subconscious, emerging from behind the powerful image of the primordial Great Mother, points the way to future psychological development and to the need to regain access to the deepest levels of the human psyche so that its opposing forces, subconscious and consciousness, can meet and be reconciled. / Classics and Modern European Languages / D.

Arte e mito nell'opera di giuseppe conte lo scrittore come sciamano

Dogliotti, Rosa-Luisa Amalia 31 December 2005 (has links)
This study examines the literary texts of the Ligurian writer Giuseppe Conte published between 1972 and 2005. In Part One, the reasons are considered which justify this research on Giuseppe Conte. This author is discussed in the context of the literary movements of the second half of the 20th century in Italy, with special reference to his approach to literature, which proposes a modern rewriting of myth. Conte is in fact a co-founder of "Mitomodernismo". "Mitomodernismo" is a literary movement, established in 1994 and currently still active, which aims to revive modern society through a spiritual rebirth promoted by a recovery of basic human values, as these appear within the boundaries already suggested by myth since antiquity. The Mitomodernisti propose an alternative which could assist contemporaries to overcome the obstacles created by modern "maladies", particularly in the West, whether these be socio-cultural, ecological, or religious. Throughout Conte's entire æuvre one clearly perceives this strong desire for rebirth which for the author is concretised in "Fare Anima", that is, a way to reconnecting with the universe, of rising towards the "light". This tension towards rebirth could be compared metaphorically to the quest for the Graal, which involves suffering as a way to redemption. The artist's visionary work is comparable to the extrasensory journey undertaken by the shaman during his trance. For this reason, in Part One of this study the figure of the shaman will also be examined in a socio-cultural context, in order to transfer it better to the literary context. The whole of Part Two is dedicated to an analysis of Conte's æuvre - poetry, novels and also, but only indirectly, essays and articles - in the light of his fundamental themes, which metaphorically turn the writer into a "shaman". The analysis is based on some concepts put forward by the Swiss psycho-analyst Carl Gustav Jung, such as the function and symbolism of myth in literature from a psychoanalytical perspective. RIASSUNTO In questo studio vengono prese in esame le opere dello scrittore ligure Giuseppe Conte, pubblicate dal 1972 al 2005. Nella Parte Prima vengono considerate le ragioni che giustificano questa ricerca su Giuseppe Conte. L'autore viene discusso nel contesto dei movimenti letterari del secondo Novecento in Italia, ed in particolare il suo approccio alla letteratura che propone una riscrittura del mito in chiave moderna. Lo scrittore è infatti uno dei cofondatori del "Mitomodernismo". Il "Mitomodernismo" è un movimento letterario che vide la luce nel 1994 e che è ancora attivo alla data attuale. Esso si prefigge di risanare la società moderna mediante una rinascita spirituale promossa dalla ripresa dei valori umani di base, simili a quelli suggeriti dal mito fin dai tempi antichi. A tutto ciò i Mitomodernisti propongono un'alternativa che aiuti l'uomo contemporaneo a superare gli impedimenti creati da queste "malattie" moderne, particolarmente nell'ambito occidentale, siano queste socioculturali, ecologiche, religiose, o altre. Attraverso tutta l'opera di Conte si percepisce chiaramente questo desiderio di rinascita che per lo scrittore si concretizza nel "Fare Anima", vale a dire in un modo di ricollegarsi al cosmo, di innalzarsi verso la "luce". Questa tensione verso la rinascita può venire metaforicamente comparata alla ricerca del Graal attraverso la sofferenza che redime. L'opera visionaria dell'artista è paragonabile al viaggio extrasensoriale intrapreso dallo sciamano durante la sua trance. Per questo motivo nella Prima Parte di questo studio si esamina la figura dello sciamano anche in ambito socioculturale per poterla poi meglio trasferire in quello letterario. La Parte Seconda è completamente dedicata all'analisi dell'opera contiana - poesie, romanzi e, trasversalmente, i saggi e gli articoli alla luce dei suoi temi portanti, che dello scrittore fanno metaforicamente uno "sciamano". L'analisi viene condotta basandosi su alcuni concetti elaborati dallo psicoanalista svizzero Carl Gustav Jung, quali la funzione ed il simbolismo del mito in letteratura da una prospettiva psicoanalitica. / Classics & Mod Euro Lang / D.

Formas de recriação do mito em contos de Mia Couto

No. of bitstreams: 1 Carlos Augusto dos Santos Ferreirinha.pdf: 928603 bytes, checksum: 28d7858f9d7fa5cb78bcffd2c175a349 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2017-04-27 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / The aim of this assignment is to reflect on the ways of recreating Afro-Mozambican myths in the narratives “A Lenda de Namarói” (2012), “A infinita fiandeira” (2009) e “Nas águas do tempo” (2012), by Mia Couto. The problematization questions: to what extent do the African Myths imply the process of identify and social institution of the African community and, by extension, of the Mozabican? How does Mia Couto assimilates these mythical aesthetics in his narratives? Two hypotheses were selected: The Myth inscribes an affirmation in the construction and institutionalization of life and in the Regime of Truth of the Afro-Mozambican people; Mia Couto's narrative recovers and recreates the aesthetic and the mythic structures of Mozambican culture in order to keep alive the veracity and the belief in the Myths as a matrix of real and valid thought. As a theoretical basis for approaching the Myth, we highlight the concepts of Anti-Narcissus, Penser autrement (CASTRO,2015), Regime of Truth (FOUCAULT,1999); and Tautegory (SCHELLING, 2007); in relation with the process of mythical aesthetics recreation in the literary composition, we utilize the concept of transcreation, by Haroldo de Campos (1992), as well as semiotic sign propositions of Charles Sanders Peirce (2000) and Octavio Paz (1976). It is observed that Mia Couto retrieves and presentifies mythical aesthetic and structural compositions as a way of institutionalizing and giving voice to orality, to the matix of thought and to the Regime of Truth of the Afro-Mozambican subject as a living and present reality / O objetivo deste trabalho é refletir sobre formas de recriação de Mitos afro-moçambicanos nas narrativas “A Lenda de Namarói” (2012), “A infinita fiandeira” (2009) e “Nas águas do tempo” (2012), de Mia Couto. A problematização interroga: até que ponto os Mitos africanos implicam o processo de instituição identitária e social da comunidade africana e, por extensão, da moçambicana? Como Mia Couto apreende essas estéticas míticas em suas narrativas? Duas hipóteses foram selecionadas: o Mito inscreve uma afirmação na construção e institucionalização da vida e do Regime de Verdade do sujeito afro-moçambicano; a narrativa de Mia Couto recupera e recria estéticas e estruturas míticas da cultura moçambicana, de modo a manter viva a veracidade e a crença nos Mitos como matriz de pensamento real e válida. Como fundamentação teórica para a abordagem do Mito, valemo-nos dos conceitos de Anti-Narciso Outramento (CASTRO, 2015), Regime de Verdade (FOUCAULT 1999) e Tautegoria (SCHELLING, 2007); no que diz respeito ao processo de recriação das estéticas míticas na composição literária, utilizamos o conceito de transcriação, de Haroldo de Campos (1992), assim como proposições sígnicas semióticas de Charles Sanders Peirce (2000) e de Octavio Paz (1976). Observa-se que Mia Couto recupera e presentifica as composições estéticas e estruturais míticas como forma de institucionalizar e dar voz à oralidade, à matriz de pensamento e ao Regime de verdade do sujeito afro-moçambicano enquanto realidade viva e presente
