Suspense in the English novel from Jane Austen to Joseph Conrad

Smith, Nicholas January 1982 (has links)
Because of critical neglect, there is no established terminology to describe techniques of suspense. Borrowing from Aristotle, Koestler, and others, a new body of concepts is suggested and importantly, a distinction of tense is established, between types of suspense which relate to the narrative past, present, and future. The classical world's intuition of a connection between mental uncertainty and the physical state of hanging has conditioned Western man's notion of narrative suspense until a comparatively recent date. Eighteenth-century theories of the sublime helped to create an understanding that suspense was not necessarily painful. Through an analysis of novels by Jane Austen, George Eliot, Dickens, Hardy, and Conrad, an attempt is made to identify and evaluate the most common suspense strategies in the period's popular genres, notably the Austenian romance, mystery, and tragedy. The Austenian romance is compared to the detective story in that narrative presentation is determined by the need to control the reader's expectations, and to achieve an ending which is both satisfactory and surprising. The latter requirement may have contributed to the gradual disappearance of the authorial "voice" in the course of the nineteenth century, and a consequent reduction in the pleasures of irony and comedy. During the Victorian period, many genres are combined in the long novel, but mystery gradually advances in popularity and sophistication, to the point where narrative events are often inappropriately exploited as secrets. Tragedy involves a creative conflict between the reader's hopes and expectations, so he is permitted to glimpse the overall tragic process, and suspense is generated on the levels of theme and causaliy. The problems incurred by an inability or unwillingness to conclude structures of theme suspense are considered finally.

Atualmente, 70% das ferramentas de corte s?o carbetos do tipo WCligante. Em n?meros de produ??o, aproximadamente 40,000 MT de ferramentas ? base de WC foram produzidas mundialmente desde 2011. Hoje, mais de 90% da produ??o de todo o metal duro, do tipo WC-ligante, utiliza o cobalto como ligante principal. A superioridade do cobalto em rela??o a outros ligantes est? ligada a v?rios fatores, sendo o principal a largura da janela de carbono no diagrama de fase. As pesquisas por ligantes alternativos que possam vir a substituir ao menos de forma parcial o cobalto s?o de extrema import?ncia, devido: ? escassez e pre?o do cobalto e principalmente pelo sistema WC-Co ser carcinog?nico. O objetivo da referida tese de doutorado foi analisar a viabilidade do uso dos ligantes alternativos 316L e FeNi com adi??o de cromo no WC. Ambos os sistemas WC-316L (teores de ligante de 5, 7 e 20%) e WC-20%FeNi com adi??o de cromo (em 5, 10 e 20%) foram processados pela rota de metalurgia do p?, seguindo as etapas: prepara??o das misturas, moagem (1h, 24h), compacta??o uniaxial (200 MPa) e sinteriza??o a v?cuo (1400oC/1h). As caracteriza??es realizadas em todas as amostras sinterizadas foram: microsc?pia ?tica e eletr?nica, difra??o de raios x, satura??o magn?tica e coercitividade, dureza, ataque qu?mico eletrol?tico. Foi realizado c?lculos das sec??es verticais dos diagramas de fase para o sistema WC-FeNi com adi??o de cromo. Os resultados obtidos e discutidos demonstram que o ligante 316L n?o ? uma alternativa viav?l em metal duro devido conter elevado teor de cromo. O ligante alternativo 316L quando sinterizado com carbeto de tungst?nio sempre precipitar? fase eta, fato que inviabiliza sua aplica??o como ligante alternativo em WC. Para o ligante FeNi com adi??o de cromo, os resultados demonstram que o m?ximo teor de cromo que pode estar contido em solu??o em WC, de forma que n?o haja precipita??o de carbeto de cromo ? de aproximadamente 4%. A adi??o de cromo acima de 4% em solu??o, leva ? precipita??o de carbetos complexos de cromo, e ainda reduz drasticamente a janela de carbono do comp?sito. / Hard metal WC-Co is used in the machining, drilling and or manufacturing of cutting tools. Currently, 70% of the cutting tools are WC-binder carbides. In production numbers, approximately 40,000 MT of WC-binder tools have been produced worldwide since 2011. Today, more than 90% of all WC-binder production uses cobalt as the main binder. The superiority of cobalt over other binders is linked to several factors, the main being the width of the carbon window in the phase diagram. The search for alternative binders that may at least partially replace cobalt is of extreme importance due to the scarcity and price of cobalt and especially the WC-Co system being carcinogenic. The goal of this doctoral thesis was to analyze the feasibility of using alternatives binders 316L stainless steel and FeNiCr alloy, in tungsten carbide. Both system WC-316L (5, 7 and 20% of binder contents) and WC-20%FeNi with addition of chromium (in 5, 10 and 20% in solution) were processed by powder metallurgy route following the steps: preparation of the mixtures, milling (1h, 24h), compaction uniaxial (200MPa) and vacuum sintering (1400oC/1h). The all samples were characterized by optical and electron microscopy, xray diffraction, magnetic saturation and coercivity, hardness and electrolytic etching. The calculation of vertical sections of the phase diagrams for the system WC-FeNiCr was made. The results obtained and discussed demonstrate that the binder 316L, is not a viable alternative in hard metal because it contains high chromium content. The binder 316L when sintered with tungsten carbide will always precipitate eta phase, which makes its application as an alternative binder in WC impossible. For the binder FeNiCr, the results demonstrate that the maximum content of chromium that may be contained in solution in tungsten carbide that there is no precipitation of chromium carbide is approximately 4%. The addition of chromium above 4% in solution leads to the precipitation of chromium complex carbides, and further drastically reduces the carbon window of the composite.

Cinema, religion and literature : revisiting, recreating and reshaping Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice as a 21st century comedy

Oliveira, Dudlei Floriano de January 2012 (has links)
As obras de Jane Austen são extremamente populares tanto entre leitores comuns e estudiosos de literatura desde a época em que foram publicados, no início do século XIX até os dias de hoje. Tamanha popularidade foi responsável por inúmeras obras de arte, especialmente na literatura e no cinema, que foram ou implicitamente ou explicitamente influenciados pela obra de Austen. Um de seus romances mais adaptados é Orgulho e Preconceito, talvez seu romance mais lido, estudado e adaptado. Um dos motivos para tal apreciação é provavelmente resultado dos valores morais que Jane Austen expõe em seus romances. Estes valores, mesmo duzentos anos mais tarde, permanecem importantes e de grande valor, especialmente na era pós-moderna, quando o excesso de liberdade e alternativas parecem deixar a humanidade mais desprovida de um suporte seguro na vida. Esta é a razão que permite um fã de Austen encontrar na religião um possível diálogo, onde, em um mundo cheio de incertezas, certos códigos morais são as certezas a que alguém pode se segurar. Em 2003, Andrew Black dirigiu o filme Pride and Prejudice: a latter-day comedy1, uma transposição moderna do romance de Austen, no qual os personagens vão à igreja e estudam em uma universidade religiosa. Meu trabalho busca estabelecer uma relação entre o livro de Jane Austen, o filme de Andrew Black e as questões sobre moralidade e religião, e como o romance e o filme estabelecem uma conexão não apenas em seus elementos de ficção como personagens e enredo, mas principalmente no que diz respeito a uma das possíveis mensagens finais em ambas obras. / The works of Jane Austen are extremely popular both among average readers and literature scholars from the time they were published, in the early 19th century until today. Such popularity has been responsible for innumerous works of art, especially in literature and cinema, that were either implicitly or explicitly influenced by Austen’s work. One of her most adapted novels is the 1812 novel Pride and Prejudice, which is perhaps her most read, studied and adapted novel. One of the reasons for such appraisal has probably to do with the moral values Jane Austen exposes in her novels. Those values, even two hundred years later, remain important and of great worth, especially in the postmodern era, when the excess of freedom and alternatives seems to make humanity more deprived of a secure ground in life. This is the reason that allows an Austen fan to find in religion a possible dialogue, where, in a world full of uncertainties, some moral codes are the certainties one can hold onto. In 2003, Andrew Black directed a movie entitled Pride and Prejudice: a latter-day comedy, a transposition of Austen’s novel to a modern setting, where the characters are themselves churchgoers and students at a religious university. My work is aimed at establishing a connection between Jane Austen’s novel, Andrew Black’s movie and the issue of morality and religion, and how the novel and movie establish a connection not only in terms of fictional elements such as characters and plot, but mainly in regards to one of the possible final messages in both works.

Jane Eyre de Charlotte Brontë e Pride and Prejudice de Jane Austen : como os filmes e as minisséries recriaram as heroínas na cultura ocidental

Rehm, Andrea de Cassia Jardim January 2015 (has links)
O presente trabalho explora a interdisciplinaridade ao analisar as heroínas de Jane Eyre de Charlotte Brontë e Pride and Prejudice de Jane Austen, bem como suas respectivas recriações em adaptações para o cinema e para a televisão. Evidenciando as retomadas dos romances para as mídias cinematográfica e televisiva, a pesquisa perpassou o olhar por filmes e seriados de 1934 a 2011, porém o estudo faz um recorte e analisa dois filmes e duas minisséries, entre outras, que recriam as personagens principais, tendo em vista a proximidade temporal das produções e o gosto pessoal da investigadora desta pesquisa. As protagonistas Jane Eyre e Elizabeth Bennet constituem-se em figuras femininas e literárias marcantes que continuam a viver no imaginário tanto do público leitor quanto do espectador, bem como são fontes de estudos da academia e de fruição em geral, reunindo interessados e admiradores sem restrições. Desta forma, o foco repousa nos romances, na minissérie Jane Eyre, de 2006, da diretora Susanna White; no filme homônimo, de 2011, do diretor Cary Fukunaga; na minissérie Pride and Prejudice, de 1995, de Simon Lang; e no filme de 2005, sob a direção de Joe Wright. Esta investigação lança um olhar, em um primeiro momento, ao interesse dirigido à busca dos textos das autoras como material para adaptações, focando as protagonistas como o cerne de tais retomadas. Além disso, neste trabalho investigativo, se realiza uma leitura crítica particular dos romances, dos filmes e dos seriados. Não se buscam tanto os pontos de contato e de afastamento entre as heroínas e suas respectivas recriações ou entre as mídias envolvidas quanto se procuram os elementos denotadores dos efeitos na leitora e na espectadora personificadas na autora da pesquisa em relação às construções das personagens principais, bem como no que concerne às suas recriações em imagens na cultura ocidental do século XX e XXI. Na tentativa de iluminar com maior profundidade a permanência das heroínas por meio das narrativas tanto literárias quanto fílmicas e televisivas ao longo do tempo, o presente exame se debruça sobre a relação entre leitor e romance, bem como entre espectador, filme e seriado. A abordagem focaliza, desta forma, na esteira do pensamento de Iser, que se baseou nos postulados de Ingarden; a questão dos espaços vazios. A projeção do preenchimento dos vazios do texto dialoga, diretamente, com a mídia fílmica, visto que o espectador, entendido como ser ativo, necessita, também, contrabalançar possíveis lacunas. Num segundo momento, o estudo se dirige propriamente à caracterização e à apreensão do que compõe Jane Eyre e Elizabeth Bennet, tanto as personagens dos romances quanto as recriações nos filmes e nas minisséries componentes do corpus desta pesquisa. Ao almejar a compreensão das nuances que formam as personalidades das heroínas, o que é determinante em suas ações, a análise contempla elementos que representam papéis marcantes para se conhecer as particularidades componentes das protagonistas. Em terceiro lugar, o enfoque passa a ser o contexto, em suas variadas acepções, tais como social, comportamental e, mesmo, geográfico, a serviço do entendimento de quem são essas heroínas, tendo em vista que o espaço que as envolve é crucial na revelação do que as torna ímpares. Contando com excertos e fragmentos retirados das seis narrativas, examina-se as facetas de comportamento que as autoras imprimem em seus textos para se possam distinguir os recursos que os diretores utilizam, juntamente com suas equipes, nas recriações, na cultura ocidental, das protagonistas dentro de cenários que as marcam em cada uma das narrativas. Assim, busca-se a essência do que as tornam referenciais para leitores e espectadores. / The present study explores interdisciplinarity by analyzing the heroines of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, as well as their respective recreations in cinema and television adaptations. Evincing the transit of novels to cinema and television media, the study looked at films and series from 1934 to 2011, focusing, however, on two films and two miniseries, among others, that recreate the main characters, in view of the temporal proximity of the productions and the personal taste of the researcher of this study. The protagonists Jane Eyre and Elizabeth Bennet are remarkable literary female figures who continue to live in the minds of both the reader and the spectator, and are sources for academic studies and general enjoyment. Thus, the focus lies on the novels; on the 2006 miniseries Jane Eyre, directed by Susanna White; on the 2011 film with the same title, directed by Cary Fukunaga; on the 1995 miniseries Pride and Prejudice, by Simon Lang; and on the 2005 film, directed by Joe Wright. Firstly, this study focuses on the interest for the works of the authors as materials for adaptations, focusing on the protagonists as the center of such adaptations. Furthermore, a particular critical reading of the novels, the films and the series is carried out, seeking not so much the contact and distance points between the heroines and their respective recreations, or between the media involved, but seeking the elements that show the effects on the reader and spectator, personified here in the author of this research, concerning the constructions of the main characters, as well as with regard to their recreations in images to the western culture of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In an attempt to shed light on the permanence of the heroines through both literary and filmic narratives over time, the research looks at the relationship between reader and novel, as well as between spectator and film and series. The approach focuses, therefore, in the light of Iser’s thought, which was based on the postulates of Ingarden, on the issue of blank spaces. The projection of filling in the empty spaces of the text are directly convergent to reading/interpreting filmic media, since the viewer, seen as an active being, also needs to counterbalance possible gaps. Secondly, the study addresses the characterization and the understanding of what comprises Jane Eyre and Elizabeth Bennet in the novels and in the films and miniseries adaptations which are part of the corpus of this research. By trying to understand the nuances that form and individualize the personalities of the heroines, which is decisive in their actions, the analysis includes elements that represent roles that are significant to know the particularities of the protagonists. Thirdly, the focus shifts to the context in its many traits, such as social, behavioral, and even geographical, in order to understand who these heroines are, considering that the space that surrounds them is crucial in the revelation of what makes them unique. Relying on excerpts and fragments taken from the six narratives, the facets of behavior that the authors impress in their texts are examined to distinguish the resources that the directors and their teams use in the recreations, for the contemporary western culture, of the protagonists in the scenarios that mark them in each of the narratives. Thus, the aim is the search for the essence of what makes them an updated reference for readers and spectators.

"A sudden seizure of a different nature" - illness, accident and death in Jane Austen's novels

Stern, Pamela Anne 31 May 2008 (has links)
Ill health, accident and death are themes common to all of Jane Austen's novels. Some illnesses are physical, whereas some of her heroines experience excessive psychological, emotional and spiritual traumas. These references are too numerous to be either coincidental, glossed over or ignored. Austen expressed an interest in the mind/body relationship, believing that illness could be brought upon in certain personalities by the sufferer herself, and it seems that she might have held theories similar to those advocated by Mary Wollstonecraft in A Vindication of the Rights of Woman and even have anticipated those on feminine hysteria, and the effects of unconscious motives on behaviour, which were advanced by Freud in works such as The Interpretation of Dreams. This study examines Austen's novels, and the origin and purpose of physical and psychological illness in these, and looks at how Austen uses illness, accident and death, and more particularly how their roles progressively change and develop. For Austen's handling of these common issues appears to vary and to develop in line with the order of composition of her novels. She places increasing emphasis on them, not just to further plot, but also to reflect character change and development. Many of the parents or guardians of Austen's heroines are inadequate. And so Austen's heroines are often deprived of commendable models, left to find their own way, alone and in need of emotional support, to confront their youthful excesses, to work their way through these and to find their own destiny despite their handicaps. Self-improvement is neither pleasant nor easy, especially where one is young, inexperienced and alone. And, where heroines exhibit unhealthy or excessive interests in anything that diverts them from their paths of virtue or usefulness, the correction may frequently be painful. Thus most of the novels are, to a greater or lesser degree, filled with references to both physical and psychological ill health. This thesis examines how Austen used these illnesses, accidents and deaths in the various novels, both in the development of plot, as well as in the development of the character of the heroine in each instance. / English Studies / M.A. (English)

Não se buscam tanto os pontos de contato e de afastamento entre as heroínas e suas respectivas recriações ou entre as mídias envolvidas quanto se procuram os elementos denotadores dos efeitos na leitora e na espectadora personificadas na autora da pesquisa em relação às construções das personagens principais, bem como no que concerne às suas recriações em imagens na cultura ocidental do século XX e XXI. Na tentativa de iluminar com maior profundidade a permanência das heroínas por meio das narrativas tanto literárias quanto fílmicas e televisivas ao longo do tempo, o presente exame se debruça sobre a relação entre leitor e romance, bem como entre espectador, filme e seriado. A abordagem focaliza, desta forma, na esteira do pensamento de Iser, que se baseou nos postulados de Ingarden; a questão dos espaços vazios. A projeção do preenchimento dos vazios do texto dialoga, diretamente, com a mídia fílmica, visto que o espectador, entendido como ser ativo, necessita, também, contrabalançar possíveis lacunas. Num segundo momento, o estudo se dirige propriamente à caracterização e à apreensão do que compõe Jane Eyre e Elizabeth Bennet, tanto as personagens dos romances quanto as recriações nos filmes e nas minisséries componentes do corpus desta pesquisa. Ao almejar a compreensão das nuances que formam as personalidades das heroínas, o que é determinante em suas ações, a análise contempla elementos que representam papéis marcantes para se conhecer as particularidades componentes das protagonistas. Em terceiro lugar, o enfoque passa a ser o contexto, em suas variadas acepções, tais como social, comportamental e, mesmo, geográfico, a serviço do entendimento de quem são essas heroínas, tendo em vista que o espaço que as envolve é crucial na revelação do que as torna ímpares. Contando com excertos e fragmentos retirados das seis narrativas, examina-se as facetas de comportamento que as autoras imprimem em seus textos para se possam distinguir os recursos que os diretores utilizam, juntamente com suas equipes, nas recriações, na cultura ocidental, das protagonistas dentro de cenários que as marcam em cada uma das narrativas. Assim, busca-se a essência do que as tornam referenciais para leitores e espectadores. / The present study explores interdisciplinarity by analyzing the heroines of Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, as well as their respective recreations in cinema and television adaptations. Evincing the transit of novels to cinema and television media, the study looked at films and series from 1934 to 2011, focusing, however, on two films and two miniseries, among others, that recreate the main characters, in view of the temporal proximity of the productions and the personal taste of the researcher of this study. The protagonists Jane Eyre and Elizabeth Bennet are remarkable literary female figures who continue to live in the minds of both the reader and the spectator, and are sources for academic studies and general enjoyment. Thus, the focus lies on the novels; on the 2006 miniseries Jane Eyre, directed by Susanna White; on the 2011 film with the same title, directed by Cary Fukunaga; on the 1995 miniseries Pride and Prejudice, by Simon Lang; and on the 2005 film, directed by Joe Wright. Firstly, this study focuses on the interest for the works of the authors as materials for adaptations, focusing on the protagonists as the center of such adaptations. Furthermore, a particular critical reading of the novels, the films and the series is carried out, seeking not so much the contact and distance points between the heroines and their respective recreations, or between the media involved, but seeking the elements that show the effects on the reader and spectator, personified here in the author of this research, concerning the constructions of the main characters, as well as with regard to their recreations in images to the western culture of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In an attempt to shed light on the permanence of the heroines through both literary and filmic narratives over time, the research looks at the relationship between reader and novel, as well as between spectator and film and series. The approach focuses, therefore, in the light of Iser’s thought, which was based on the postulates of Ingarden, on the issue of blank spaces. The projection of filling in the empty spaces of the text are directly convergent to reading/interpreting filmic media, since the viewer, seen as an active being, also needs to counterbalance possible gaps. Secondly, the study addresses the characterization and the understanding of what comprises Jane Eyre and Elizabeth Bennet in the novels and in the films and miniseries adaptations which are part of the corpus of this research. By trying to understand the nuances that form and individualize the personalities of the heroines, which is decisive in their actions, the analysis includes elements that represent roles that are significant to know the particularities of the protagonists. Thirdly, the focus shifts to the context in its many traits, such as social, behavioral, and even geographical, in order to understand who these heroines are, considering that the space that surrounds them is crucial in the revelation of what makes them unique. Relying on excerpts and fragments taken from the six narratives, the facets of behavior that the authors impress in their texts are examined to distinguish the resources that the directors and their teams use in the recreations, for the contemporary western culture, of the protagonists in the scenarios that mark them in each of the narratives. Thus, the aim is the search for the essence of what makes them an updated reference for readers and spectators.
