À partir de la perspective de l’Analyse du Discours pecheutienne, qui se propose d'examiner les processus discursifs dans des différentes matérialités en prenant le rapport entre langue et histoire à la production des sens, cette thèse présente une étude sur le processus traductoire du littéraire. En envisageant la traduction comme un processus discursif, nous analysons les gestes d’interprétation matérialisés dans des extraits du livre Pride and Prejudice (1813) de Jane Austen et leurs traductions imprimées et cinématographiques. Les faits et les effets discursifs qui émergent du processus traductoire nous permettent d’observer le jeu de forces existant au faire traductoire et nous mènent à considérer le processus traductoire comme un processus discursif spécifique. Méthodologiquement, en prenant le processus traductoire comme objet, nous avons comme geste d’analyse le délinéament d’une formation discursive traductoire qui, en tant que domaine de savoir, règle le faire traductoire, et qui permet en même temps d’aborder discursivement le rapport entre les langues. Nous situons donc le processus traductoire dans son rapport constitutif avec la formation discursive littéraire, en le prenant comme effet-art. Nous parcourrons ainsi les surfaces linguistique et filmique qui signifient, au cours de deux cent ans, le discours littéraire qui soutient le roman et nous proposons la notion de moment discursif comme spécifité des conditions de production d’un effet de traduction. Le proccesus traductoire peut être décrit comme une actualisation dans des (ré)formulations d’une formulation précédente, en considérant dans ce mouvement l’énoncé comme un élément de savoir qui établit rapports de rapprochement ou d’éloignement entre les sens inscrits dans les formations discursives engagées. Ainsi le texte premier, en partant de son appropriation et interprétation à travers la formation discursive traductoire, est actualisé dans le discours du texte de traduction au moyen du travail de la mémoire discursive, qui se troue, se casse, ce qui permet au sens de glisser, en se répétant et se transformant dans la même langue ou dans une autre. Et par le fonctionnement discursif de la création, le texte émerge et est historicisé comme effet d’origine, d’antériorité et de récursivité pour chaque nouveau texte de traduction. Pour son analyse, nous mobilisons la notion de fonction-traducteur comme déploiement de la fonction-auteur dans un processus de traducréation. / A partir da perspectiva da Análise do Discurso pecheuxtiana, que se propõe a investigar os processos discursivos em diferentes materialidades ao tomar a relação entre língua e história na produção dos sentidos, esta tese apresenta um estudo sobre o processo tradutório do literário. Ao encarar a tradução como um processo discursivo, analisamos os gestos de interpretação materializados em recortes da obra Pride and Prejudice (1813) de Jane Austen e suas traduções impressas e cinematográficas. Os feitos e os efeitos discursivos que emergem do processo tradutório nos permitem observar o jogo de forças existente no fazer tradutório e leva-nos a considerar o processo tradutório como um processo discursivo específico. Metodologicamente, ao tomar o processo tradutório como objeto, temos como gesto de análise o delineamento de uma formação discursiva tradutória que, como domínio de saber, regula o fazer tradutório, bem como permite abordar discursivamente a relação entre línguas. Então, situamos o processo tradutório em sua relação constitutiva com a formação discursiva literária, tomando-o como efeito-arte. Percorremos, deste modo, as superfícies linguística e fílmica que significam, ao longo de duzentos anos, o discurso literário que sustenta o romance e propomos a noção de momento discursivo como especificidade das condições de produção de um efeito de tradução. O processo tradutório pode ser descrito como atualização em (re)formulações de uma formulação anterior, considerando neste movimento o enunciado como elemento de saber que estabelece relações de aproximação ou distanciamento entre os sentidos inscritos nas formações discursivas envolvidas. Assim, o texto primeiro, a partir de sua apropriação e interpretação pelo viés da formação discursiva tradutória, é atualizado no discurso do texto de tradução através do trabalho da memória discursiva, que se esburaca, parte-se, permitindo que o sentido deslize, repetindo-se, transformando-se, na mesma ou em outra língua. E pelo funcionamento discursivo da autoria, o texto emerge e é historicizado como efeito de origem, de anterioridade e recursividade para cada novo texto de tradução. Para sua análise, mobilizamos a noção de função-tradutor como desdobramento da função-autor em um processo de tradautoria.

In Jane Austen’s renowned Pride and Prejudice, published in 1813, the reader encounters love and marriage in the British middle-class during the nineteenth century. While the main focus of the novel is the love story between Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, the reader also encounters the youngest Bennet sister, Lydia. Lydia is depicted as loud, vain, rude and ignorant and even though this is a correct description of Lydia’s behavior, there are underlying reasons for that foolish and naïve behavior. Thus, the aim of this essay is to examine and explain the underlying reasons as to why Lydia behaves as recklessly and selfishly as she does. By close reading of the novel and by using psychoanalysis and relevant Freudian concepts, mainly the id, the ego and the super-ego, the analysis concludes that there is an evident connection between Lydia’s unruly behavior and her dysfunctional relationship to her parents. Due to the lack of parental guidance, Lydia has been left uncontrolled and heavily ruled by her id. Moreover, this essay will demonstrate that there is a shift in Lydia’s behavior as the novel progresses. As a result of certain events in the novel, Lydia’s behavior shifts even further towards her being driven by the pleasure principle and her id.

The purpose of this study is to discuss further how an English teacher in a Swedish high school can utilize a novel like Jane Austen´s Pride and Prejudice in their classroom. This has been investigated by looking at how to use the book thematically with the class topic and by looking at activities and ideas used by teachers who have worked with the book in its entirety. Other aspects such as student motivation, catering to students' interests and needs and looking at what the teacher can do to make the reading experience exciting and relevant for their students have also been considered. By further investigating how the topic class is presented in Pride and Prejudice through the characters, their connections, and aspirations, this study has also tried to answer whether it is possible to discuss a topic like class in Pride and Prejudice without mentioning the relationships and marriage.

A juxtaposition of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice and Persuasion. The two novels are analyzed from a Marxist theoretical perspective.

This project examines the implications of mythologizing women writers, specifically Woolf and Austen, and transforming them into their own famous characters. Using various writings that theorize women's voices, sense of agency, and political autonomy in relationship with the public/private dichotomy, this project argues that women writers are often appropriated and fictionalized in this way because of a patriarchal cultural understanding that women are associated with the private, personal, and domestic spheres. More importantly, it argues that this increasingly frequent treatment aligns with and forwards a neoliberal political and cultural agenda. The politics of the last twenty or thirty years, in short, are shaping interpretations and adaptations of major works of the English canon, specifically Mrs. Dalloway and Pride and Prejudice. Particular examples of such adaptations include The Hours, Vanessa and Her Sister, Becoming Jane, and Longbourn. This project ultimately analyzes these and a select number of other texts in order to show that these contemporary treatments of two of the most famous female writers from the English canon reveal quite a bit about current attitudes within the United States about gender (in)equality, care work/dependency, and sexuality. / Master of Arts

Money factors into the lives of all of Jane Austen’s heroines and, in many of her novels, the heroines struggle on the marriage market. Austen concludes every one of her novels with the marriage of the heroine and, while Austen made the choice to become a writer instead of marrying, she is consequently very mindful of what marriage means for each of her heroines and who they ultimately choose for a husband. Given that economics is the social science concerned with how individuals and institutions make optimal choices under conditions of scarcity, knowledge of some of the basic concepts in economics and an understanding of the economic theory behind how people make choices can enhance readings of Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice. Through a survey of some of the existing economic literature on marriage, I demonstrate how one might apply economic theory to these two novels. Subsequently, I explore how there are limits on how far the economics of marriage can be extended to analyze Austen’s novels, but ultimately conclude that the theory presented nevertheless helps explain how many of the characters choose their future partner.

Among many subjects described by the scholars, there is one that will be in this dissertation called into question, namely, the representative role of reading for fictional readers in two works written by her, Firstly the novel Sense and Sensibility (1811) whose selected aspect, is triggered by the disastrous reading that the heroin, Marianne Dashwood does; and, on the other hand we will point out a differentiated reading posture, in this case, in Pride and Prejudice (1813), whose tracking seems to indicate an ideal model of character as a reader, with the figure of the protagonist, Elizabeth Bennet. In both texts, we will intend to develop a literary analysis, which considers the political and social aspects, subordinating our work, to Jameson’s levels of interpretation. / Jane Austen é uma das autoras possuidoras de grande prestígio no cenário literário, principalmente por colocar em evidência aspectos da sociedade inglesa à qual estava ligada. Entre muitas questões descritas pelos acadêmicos, existe uma que estará nesta dissertação de mestrado sendo posta em discussão, a saber, o papel representativo da leitura para os leitores ficcionais de duas das obras por ela escrita. Primeiramente, o romance Razão e Sensibilidade (1811), cujo aspecto selecionado é deflagrado por meio da leitura nefasta da heroína, Marianne Dashwood; e, por outro lado, apontaremos uma postura de leitura diferenciada, nesse caso, em Orgulho e Preconceito (1813), cujo caminhar parece indicar um modelo ideal de personagem leitora, com a figura da protagonista, Elizabeth Bennet. Em ambos os textos, buscaremos desenvolver uma análise literária na qual se considera os aspectos políticos e sociais, subordinando nosso trabalho aos níveis jamesonianos de interpretação.
