Life Change Narratives: When The Road DivergesRyan, Bernadene J. 01 May 2013 (has links)
Transformation events can be a change in a person's work, a change in philosophy, a sudden insight, or a break in a relationship. According to David Hufford and Marilyn Motz, narrating these experiences are ways in which people perform, construct, and communicate belief systems. The narrators within the context of this thesis experience their transformation through a career transformation. The narrators rediscover their initial passion and transform that desire into actions that results in a shift of career. Sometimes seen as inexplicable, nevertheless the narrators provide analysis and reflection on the influences that led to their change. Some of the actions or thoughts that the narrators incorporate in their stories demonstrate not only the progression of events but also the alterations narrators experience in their worldviews. The context in which these changes occur is essential to interpreting and understanding the experience. Narrative components are filtered through an interpretive process that includes personal meaning, contrast with social norms and cultural beliefs and the impact on the receiver to enable narrators to justify their experience. It is the reflection on these experiences through which people gain insight and establish relevance to events that seem sometimes beyond their control. Stories from pop culture to ordinary citizens who change their lives daily demonstrate the pervasiveness of the transformational effect of states of crisis through which people journey. People's lives are turned upside-down through these experiences which place the narrator out of their normal element. There are two levels to these story types: external and internal transformation. At a superficial level there is the journey to change careers but at another level there is a relationship to opening up cultural expectations or acting generatively, as role-models. Narrators are effecting change through their positive attitudes and acceptance of the trials they encounter during their transitions. Narrators discuss specific actions that create transformative life changes or philosophical shifts. My investigation studies how individuals are involved in transitional events in which they experience a disengagement from a previous life, spending some time in liminal space where they transition or regenerate into a new place in society. Part of my approach to this subject matter used theories introduced by Victor Turner (pilgrimages) and by Arnold Van Gennep (rites of passage). Regina Holloman proposes that rites of passage can occur not just as physical/material transformation but can occur psychically as well. Some of the narrative patterns that narrators use to construct these tales are identified within the context of folk belief and folklore scholarship.

Aluísio Azevedo: o movimento criativo de Casa de Pensão / Aluísio Azevedo: the creative movement of the novel Casa de PensãoGarcia, Marizete Liamar Grando 31 March 2009 (has links)
O objetivo deste trabalho é destacar a habilidade com a qual Aluísio Azevedo acompanhou algumas das transformações tecnológicas ocorridas na penúltima década do século XIX. Esta pesquisa analisa o movimento criativo de Casa de Pensão, a partir de textos que compõem o corpus: a primeira edição no formato de romance-seriado, publicada no periódico Folha Nova (1883) e da primeira edição em livro, publicada por Faro & Lino Editores (1884). As transformações ocorridas no processo criativo foram estudadas por intermédio da metodologia para a análise do padrão narrativo do romance-seriado, sistematizada por Ribeiro (1996; 2000). De modo complementar à apreciação dos aspectos intertextuais, consideramos a influência do contexto do processo criação, de onde emergem vozes relacionadas à Questão Capistrano (1876) e ao hibridismo discursivo imanente à estrutura narrativa do romance Casa de Pensão. / The main aim of this paper is to highlight the ability with which Aluísio Azevedo led some of technological transformations that occurred in the last nineteenth century decade. This research analyses the Casa de Pensão creative movement based on texts that compose the corpus: the first edition in novel-series format published in the journal named Folha Nova (1883), and about the first edition in book format published by Faro & Lino Editors (1884). The transformations occurred in the creative process were studied through the methodology to analyze the novel-series narrative pattern organized by Ribeiro (1996; 2000). In order to complement the assessment of intertextual aspects, it was considered the influence about the context of the process creation where the voices that were linked to Questão Capistrano (1876) came out and about the discursive hybridism immanent to the narrative structure of Casa de Pensão novel.

AN ANALYSIS OF ROMAN MUTINY NARRATIVES THROUGH MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVESDenman, Amanda M. 10 1900 (has links)
<p>This paper is concerned with the use of mutiny narratives in historical texts as a microcosm of the historians’ goal of the work as a whole. This study is built upon the recent trend in scholarship, where a particular feature of a text has been studied to provide an analysis on the author or the underlying purpose of his work. Mutinies and, more specifically, mutiny narrative patterns have not been studied to a great extent for this type of analysis. However, based upon their tradition delineation and explanation of events and their ubiquitous speeches, mutiny narratives are capable of providing a new avenue for this type of analysis. The first chapter will look at the mutiny of Scipio Africanus’ troops at Sucro in 206 B.C.E. as presented by the historians Polybius and Livy. Both attempted to organize their works upon particular moral and didactic lines, the results of which are clearly expressed in their construct of the mutiny. This intentional framework is also present in the poet Lucan’s historical epic the <em>Bellum Civile</em>, who shaped the mutiny of Caesar’s troops in 47 B.C.E. in order to express his own belief in the inherent cataclysm and paradox of civil war. Finally these same themes of chaos and contradiction are also present in my third chapter and its analysis of five mutinies found in Tacitus, two in 14 C.E. and three in 69 C.E. under Galba, Otho and Vocula. Tacitus deliberately engineered the earlier mutinies in order to create both thematic and linguistic echoes to the later seditions in order to prove that the same problems that caused the later civil war were present under the earliest emperors.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)
